- With the addition of defenseman Marc Methot and head coach Scott Arniel (associate coach to Ken Hitchcock), the Blue Jackets could be well-represented by Team Canada at the World Championships. If Rick Nash (back) goes, they could have three. Goaltender Steve Mason was apparently also asked, but has chosen to rest. It was rumored that Kris Russell (ankle) had also been on the short list.
- Jakub Voracek is fat: okay, that's not really what this says, but kind of. Jake Voracek, who only had a small drop-off in his offensive productivity over a year before, struggled through a painful slump at the end of the season, and it seems as though the kid has some kind of issue staying in shape. Really, Jake? You're 21 years old. Get it together. There's no excuse. Cut back on the potato chips, ding dogs, and Bud Light. We'd like you to be less of a lardo.
- The Word from the Birds: Springfield Falcons owner Charlie Pompea posted a letter on the Falcons' site today addressing the unfortunate end to the Falcons season, and promised they'd work with the Jackets to "assure" change for next year. And this article from MassLive eludes to a general warm-fuzzy feeling out of Falcons camp when it comes to the Jackets. Big change from the years in Syracuse, and it's good to see that there is a sense of optimism in Springfield, despite the trouble.
- From Ten Minute Misconduct - Playing Twister: Jeff Little is at it again with his excellent work. This time, he injected a nice slice of reality into the CBJosphere by spinning the tables on the choices that Scott Howson didn't make (appropriately), but the Dispatch seems to have a love-affair with anyway.
- From Dark Blue Jacket – Out of Time: Look out, DBJ's on a roster-clearing rampage in his season review!
Over the next few weeks – look for our season in review, player "awards" (hold your laughter), and a little playing with numbers!

I am taking a tangent here, but I was wondering if you have any experience from 2-1 exhaust setups. I was thinking something in the philosophy of the Remus Roxx system. Any thoughts on this in respect to the level of sound, nature of power and jetting changes?
Yep, the 50 idle air jet #3 in the diagram is often changed to a 60/70/80 and this can have disastrous results with the free breathing filter. I probably repeat myself as this seems to be the problem that I most often see in my pm box. I have also seen these switched around, the 50 where the 80 goes and vice versa for instance.
I cannot comment much on 2/1 pipes as I have limited experience with them. A buddy has the first one that was made. IMHO, there isn't a whole lot of difference between the two as far as tuning goes. Similarly, using the db killers, at least in my Akras, makes absolutely no difference as evidenced by pulling dynos back to back.

PRESIDENTIAL candidates could be barred from running if their parties knowingly nominate persons who are not eligible to stand for elective positions.
The significance of Section 72 in the Elections Act has just come to light after two ODM activists wrote to the ODM elections chairman Franklin Bett on January 4.
It presents a new dilemma for parties and their leaders as they hold their primaries next week. A candidate might be popular but have a criminal record or lack educational qualification (for governor).
The eventual consequence might be even greater than the disqualification of the candidate - it might be disqualification of the party's presidential candidate.
According to section 72(2) of the Elections Act, "where a political party knowingly nominates a candidate who does not meet the requirements of the constitution, the political party commits an offence and shall be disqualified from nominating a candidate in that election."
Section 72(4) then goes on to state that this can result in the disqualification of the party's presidential candidate.
"Where a political party under subsection (2) commits an election offence which the Commission (IEBC) considers to be of a grave nature or continuously repeats the offence, the presidential candidate of the political party shall not be eligible to contest in a presidential election," it states.
The qualification is that "the presidential candidate knowingly abets or aids in the election offence." However in Kenya, party leaders are directly or indirectly involved in almost all party nominations.
CORD presidential candidate Raila Odinga was last week warned that assistant minister Bishop Margaret Wanjiru does not have the university degree required to stand for the Nairobi Governorship.
"Our clients would not wish the party to put forward a candidate who will be disqualified by the IEBC and whose candidature poses a risk to the party," stated the January 4 letter from Ochieng, Onyango, Kibet and Ohaga on behalf of two ODM activists.
It now appears that the disqualification of Raila as a presidential candidate could even be the ultimate sanction for selecting Wanjiru.
The Commission for Higher Education rejected Wanjiru's theology degrees from Vineyard Harvester Bible College and the United Graduate College and Seminary International saying they are not recognised in Kenya or the USA.
The IEBC stipulates that all candidates for governor must be "a holder of a degree from a University recognized in Kenya." It is not only Raila who is faced with the challenge of ensuring that his party's nominees meet all legal requirements.
Jubilee presidential candidate Uhuru Kenyatta has also been under pressure to ensure that his TNA party's candidates meet the integrity standards.
In particular, there has been growing opposition over the likely nomination of Embakasi MP Ferdinand Waititu and his Makadara MP Mike Sonko.
Recently, the High Court dismissed a petition challenging the education qualifications of businessman Mary Wambui who wants to take over President Kibaki's parliamentary seat in Othaya on a TNA ticket.
The court left it to the IEBC to decide whether Wambui was qualified to contest. The Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission is currently processing thousands of self-declaration forms that will determine the suitability of the various nominees.
The IEBC will not accept names of those that are not cleared by the EACC, even if their respective parties nominate them to stand for elective positions.

Selective prosecution
Much has been written about the unfair charges and actions taken by the government of the US against political prisoner, Bradley Manning. However what often goes unnoticed is the leaking of information by the US government when it is convenient for them and the failure to prosecute the one percent.
Bradley Manning was charged and convicted of violations of the 1917 Espionage Act and the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act, in relationship to the unauthorized disclosure of classified documents.
The problem is the Justice Department and Military have been selectively prosecuting unauthorized disclosures of classified information only when they are politically unfavorable. This includes embarrassing leaks to the media by the likes of Thomas Drake and John Kiriakou.
Meanwhile, unauthorized disclosures by the likes of David Petreuas and Seal Team Six member Mark Bisonette have gone unpunished and have even been celebrated in the media. Additionally the Obama Administration has itself leaked classified information for political gain, as with the disclosure of Kill Lists. The hypocrisy is crucifying.
The prosecution of Manning, when put in context with the other said leaks of classified information, reveals Manning's prosecution was selective and politically motivated.
Little regard for the rule of law
While the Manning prosecution was presented as a violation of the rule of law, the Obama administration has repeatedly show little regard for the rule in a number of serious cases.
Former CIA agent Robert Seldon Lady was convicted in Absentia in Italy for the kidnapping of an Egyptian national and his subsequent rendition. Lady was recently detained by Panama, to be extradited to Italy, until the US intervened and secured his release. Then there is Luis Posada Carriles who was convicted in Venezuela of the 1976 bombing of a Cuban airliner and then escaped from a Venzuelan prison and fled to the US where he continues to live freely , protected from extradition (http://www.workers.org/2013/07/10/refusal-to-extradite-terrorist-to-venezuela-exposes-washingtons-hypocrisy/).
Brothers William and Isaias Dassum were convicted by a court in Ecuador and sentenced to 8 years in prison. The Brothers were the president and vice president of Ecuador's largest bank, Filabanco, which collapsed in 1998. They were convicted of hiding the bank's problems and embezzling $158 million, most of which they were alleged to have been stashed in Miami banks. The US refuses to extradite the brothers to Ecuador or confiscate their ill gotten money (http://www.dailycensored.com/robert-and-william-isaias-dassum-the-case-of-the-ecuadorian-banking-fugitives-that-live-and-invest-in-the-u-s/).
These are but a few examples of the disregard for the rule of law related to international criminals who are being provided refuge by the Obama administration. These cases ring hollow the claim of enforcing the rule of law in the Manning case.
Manning: but one of Obama's political prisoners
In a prior article, I detailed the political prosecutions of Aaron Swartz, John Kiriakou, Thomas Drake, Andrew "Weev" Auerenheimer, and Jeremy Hammond. Add to this the convictions of environmental activist Tim DeChristopher http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/03/03/tim-dechristopher-convict_n_831144.html, UBS whistleblower Bradley Birkenfeld, and Washington Post Co. whistle blower Ben Wilcox, and the pending prosecution of journalist /activist Barrett Brown http://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2013/mar/21/barrett-brown-persecution-anonymous,and a clear pattern of political repression emerges.
Manning's prosecution is part of a pattern of political prosecutions, meant to repress dissent. Many of these appear to be at the behest of corporations and Wall Street.
Corporations get out of jail free
Corporations wield undue influence in the federal government through campaign contributions and the revolving door. Nowhere is this more evident than in the refusal of the government to prosecute criminal wrong doing by corporate offenders.
Beginning with the Bush administration and continuing under Wall Street attorney Eric Holder, it has been official government policy to enter into deferred prosecution and non prosecution agreements with corporate criminal wrong doers.
This includes HSBC bank which was found to be laundering Mexican drug cartel money (http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-18880269), Ralph Lauren Company which was found to be bribing officials in Argentina over a five year period (http://www.dailycensored.com/ralph-lauren-lauryn-hill-the-miseducation-of-the-department-of-justice/), MF global which used customer money to cover its losses (http://my.firedoglake.com/masaccio/2013/07/08/who-decided-there-are-no-crimes-in-mf-global-collapse/), and JP Morgan which was recently found to be rigging energy prices in the Midwest (http://www.dailycensored.com/jp-morgan-and-electric-power-100-years-of-misconduct/).
While Bradley Manning sits in jail, corporate wrong doers which have injured scores of citizens and destroyed institutions pay a pittance of a fine. This is evidence that there is little concern for the rule of law and there is no doubt that Bradley Manning is a political prisoner.
Kangaroo Court
"Times New Roman";mso-bidi-font-family:"Times New Roman"">[8]
Malcolm X described the field Negro, who he said were the majority of slaves on a plantation. The field Negro lived in a shack, wore raggedy clothes, and ate chittlins. He hated his owner. If the owner's house caught fire, the field Negro prayed for wind. If the owner got sick, the field Negro prayed for him to die. If somebody suggested to the field Negro that he escape, he would leave in an instant.[9]
Malcolm X said that there are still house Negroes and field Negroes. The modern house Negro, he said, was always interested in living or working among white people and bragging about being the only African American in his neighborhood or on his job. Malcolm X said the Black masses were modern field Negroes and described himself as a field Negro.[10] (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Message_to_the_Grass_Roots)
Obama clearly fits the bill.
The US is not becoming a police state….
It already is one. The first inkling of this was the Executive, Legislative and Judicial branches of the government was the passage of HR347 which criminalized protests on federal property and which I exposed back in March 2012 (http://www.projectcensored.org/10-hr-347-would-make-many-forms-of-nonviolent-protest-illegal/). The confirmation was the defeat of the Amash amendment to defund the NSA's phone surveillance program and the continued re-authorization of said program.
The courts have played a central role in the undermining of constitutional rights and civil liberties characteristic of a democracy. This includes the recent Appeals Court decision which permits warrantless search of cell phone location data, the Supreme Court ruling permitting the collection of DNA from individuals charged but not convicted of a crime, as well as absolute immunity for prosecutors, police immunity from civil suits when they are found to be lying to grand jury, and the right to strip search individuals.
Couple all of this with license plate readers, the USPS photographing all mail, the FBI's biometric facial recognition database and the NSA phone and internet surveillance and you have by definition, a police state focused on control and intimidation; a police state which has declared war on the first, fourth, and fifth amendments to the constitution. Bradley Manning's disclosures were an assault on this police state, and it is for this he is being punished.
Snowden's Asylumhttp://www.dailycensored.com/booz-allen-hamilton-helping-the-government-insure-domestic-tranquility/). It is for this reason he was and is being unlawfully hunted down in violation to the right to asylum. The state of repute of the US has gotten so bad, attorney general Eric Holder had to promise the Russians that Snowden would not be tortured or killed. They obviously did not believe him for they granted Snowden asylum.
Someone needs to ask Holder whether the treatment of Bradley Manning, which included extended solitary confinement and stripping him of his clothes, constituted torture. Whatever his answer is, it will put him in pickle. Manning's pretrial detention treatment and Kangaroo court trial are all the evidence Snowden needed for his asylum request and Russia's granting of said.

What do you guys / gals recommend for mounting a red dot sight on a Bulgarian side folder. I don't have a side mount on it now, but I guess I could mount one. I assume the stock will clear the mount without the optics mounted but probably not, if optics were attached. If I go the side mount route, what mount and optics do you recommend, reasonably priced of course, something in the neighborhood of $200 side mount and all?
ooops, might want to move this to the appropriate forum.

1 cup
diced apple
1 pound
Brussels sprouts, trimmed and quartered
1/4 cup
apple cider
4 teaspoons
olive oil
2 teaspoons
minced fresh thyme
1/2 teaspoon
1/4 teaspoon
ground black pepper
nice fall dish and a great way to use apples after apple picking. I may even use this resipe for thanksgiving!
The apples added nothing to this recipe-they were totally overpowered by the brussel sprouts. I was expected a little sweetness or apple flavor to enhance the brussel sprouts but nothing.
14 Ratings
These were okay, but a little bland. Hubby didn't much care for them. I'd probably give them 3.5 stars. They needed something, but I'm not sure what. More herbs, maybe? Butter? They also took a good bit longer than the stated roasting time and the sprouts were slightly tender-crisp while the apples were very soft.
I made two different Brussel sprout w/ Apple dishes tonight. Both from this site. This one is far superior and flavorful. I am not sure why some of the people who reviewed this recipe said it was bland, because it wasn't at all. The only difference that I did was how I assembled it. I cut the sprouts up first and put them in the bottom of the dish. I then put the apples on top and mixed the remaining ingredients together and poured them over top of the sprouts and apples as a sauce. Put in the oven and bake as directed. Enjoy!!!
Delicious and something different! I followed the recipe exactly and it turned out wonderful. Definitely a keeper!
Love this take on brussels sprouts! Made with a pork roast. The flavors were amazing!
the apples just burned and the taste was really awful due to the thyme.
Great taste, easy to make. Be sure to core the sprouts, though.

Clinical Trials for Neck Pain
Featured Clinical Trial
Spinal Kinetics™ M6®-C Artificial Disc vs Anterior Cervical Discectomy and Fusion for Treatment of Degenerative Cervical Radiculopathy
Sponsored by: Spinal Kinetics, Inc.
Patients eligible for study enrollment will present with degenerative cervical radiculopathy, confirmed clinically and radiographically, and requiring surgical intervention at a single vertebral level from C3 to C7. Qualified patients will have confirmed functional impairment and have not adequately responded to conservative medical care over a period of at least 6 weeks. Learn More.
About Clinical Research Studies
Clinical research has been, and continues to be, instrumental to the advancement of neck pain treatment and diagnosis. For example, the following advances have been made: contrast dyes that enhance CT and MR imaging of the cervical spine, pain-reducing medications, and sophisticated surgical devices, implants and biologics (eg, artificial discs and bone graft).
Besides these areas of healthcare, clinical trials actively recruit patients with neck pain for efficacy studies about chiropractic manipulation, physical therapy, and acupuncture.
Possibly, you have considered enrolling in a clinical trial for neck pain. If so, the following information will be of interest to you.
Each Neck Pain Clinical Trial Has a Purpose
Each clinical trial for neck pain is designed with a purpose and includes one or more methods that measure results, start and end dates, description of how the study will be conducted, and inclusion and exclusion criteria.
Hypothetically, let's say the purpose of a clinical trial is to compare 2 surgical treatments for cervical instability: traditional neck fusion vs artificial disc replacement. How the study is conducted may include the frequency of post-operative evaluation, such as every 6 months for 2 years.
How Do I Tell if I Am Candidate?
The candidates for aneck pain clinical study are qualified according to the trial's inclusion and exclusion criteria. These criteria are part of the clinical trial's rules—in other words, standards the clinical trial investigator applies to select qualified neck pain patients to participate in the study.
Examples of inclusion or exclusion criteria are the cause of neck pain, age, gender, pain type and severity, pregnancy, active infection, and/or cancer.

Happy Elvis Week! Really, when was the last time you listened to some Elvis? You should take a little time, explore your preferred MP3 provider, and download a few select tunes. Here's quick list of essentials:
- Suspcious Minds
- Hound Dog
- Too Much
- Don't be Cruel
- Jailhouse Rock
- Hard Headed Woman
- Heartbreak Hotel
- All Shook Up
As you can see, SEO Boy, he prefers the Jailhouse Rock area of Elvis. And PPC Hero has embraced the post-1969 comeback area of Elvis (OK, we'll call him Vegas Elvis).
The warren threw a party at the county jail…

Having been around during the times when Apple's Lisa was unveilded and marveling at the Commodore 64's seemingly unlimited potential it's been fun to watch the evolution of computing for the masses. Today we have The Clound, Facebook, Twitter as well as nearly instant access to billions of pages of documents.
Does that make us any smarter? No.
But it does allow us to interact, do business and communicate at a higher rate of speed. So what will we do with this increasing rate of information exchanging? As many articles have suggested it's a double edged sword. On one hand we can use this information for "good" things, such as finding a good deal on a product through CraigsList. But we also sacrifice personal liberties when our government monitors every email sent by every person in the country.
As you read these words right now bill are sitting in Congress that would greatly expand the government's control over the Internet. In short, we're at a fork in the road and which direction we choose to travel will affect our future in ways we can't even imagine today.
Dan has touched on some of these ideas in the past and even put some in perspective as they relate to history. But where will we be 5 or 10 years from now? Will the world view of our children be greater or less than what we experience today? And will the Grand Bargain be that we must trade in our liberties in order to obtain the lastest offering from Apple? Or will technology be the tonic that will save us all?

nice casual shoes
By John
from Northern Virginia
Got these in saddle tan to wear with casual slacks or khakis. Shoes have nice soles with textured rubber on the heal and toe to prevent slipping which is nice. The side stitching is well done and allows air to pass through to keep a little cooler on those hot summer days as well as ensure the shoes keep their form and do not roll while you are walking. I am a little disappointed in the way the uppers and sole are glued together, you can clearly see the glue bead where the leather upper meets the rubber sole, and in some areas it has some fairly large glue spots. I would also like to see a little more care taken in the packaging, the tassels had a paper covering to keep them from rubbing or being deformed, however the kiltie was bent up on the corners, this could easily be prevented if a cardboard or paper kiltie keeper was added to ensure the shoes arrive in the best possible condition. Overall I think these are fairly comfortable shoes and would recommend them if on sale, however I don't think they are as well made as some of the other shoes in this category such as the Salisbury or Montgomery Buckle.

Watch A Working Robot Hand Made From Legos
[Terminator joke]
When Max Shepherd was about 10, he saw a robot arm on Lego's mindstorms.com. It inspired him to build his own. "I built a bunch of moderately decent arms (I was in middle school, come on)," he says "and then slowly built my Lego collection in high school, and started experimenting more with the pneumatics."
About halfway through college, he says, "I started following some Lego blogs, and realized that with the new stuff out (power functions, linear actuators, more connectors), there was a real opportunity to do something new." That new thing was a biomimetic robot arm, built in Lego.
Unlike his previous arms, which were more like factory robot arms, this one is designed to as closely as possible mimic the full range of motion of a human arm. "This made me feel like I was putting my biomedical engineering major to good use," he says.
Shepherd says his interests lie somewhere between design, engineering, and art. "My favorites tend to involve a combination." Indeed, for all that the arm is technically interesting, for Shepherd that's just part of it. "While the arm is mechanically pretty cool," he says, "I also spent a couple weeks making the fake shoulder, getting the colors right, and making the pneumatic tubing look organized."

You should work for Cyberdyne.
Tim, can you please correct your spelling. Lego not Legos.
Amazing work! Well done!
Cute article, but the plural of LEGO/Lego is, was and always will be LEGO/Lego, not LEGOs. Even noted in their house style.
Right you are, and the name should always be spelled LEGO, not Lego. by the way.
You are totally right. I thought FAST COMPANYS would have know that.

Maputo — Six members of the Mozambican riot police (FIR) have died in clashes between the defence and security forces and gunmen of the former rebel movement Renamo, in Homoine district, in the southern province of Inhambane, according to a report in Wednesday's issue of the independent newsheet "Mediafax".
The clashes took place in the administrative post of Pembe, where Renamo is trying to re-establish a base at Nhamungue, where it had its headquarters for all of Inhambane during the closing years of the war of destabilisation.
There were also clashes in the neighbouring locality of Catine.
The government forces moved to dislodge the Renamo gunmen in the early morning of Tuesday.
"Mediafax" adds that in addition to the six deaths, eight injured police agents were taken to the Chicuque rural hospital in Maxixe district.
As for Renamo losses, the independent television station STV reported that two Renamo members died, but "Mediafax" only speaks of the deaths of two civilians.
STV reports that people have fled from all the villages in Pembe. They have headed for the district capital, Homoine town, in vehicles if possible, on foot if not. The Homoine authorities are thus faced with a wave of displaced people, with nowhere to sleep and little to eat.
Initially, the Inhambane provincial government denied the presence of a Renamo force in Homoine. Both the spokesperson for the provincial police command, Delcir Mariquel, and provincial governor Agostinho Trinta, went on record as saying the only problem they knew of in Homoine was cattle rustling.
But on Tuesday, the Diretcor of Defence Policy in the Ministry of Defence, Col Cristovao Chume, confirmed that Renamo gunmen were indeed in Homoine, and some of them had been arrested.
"Renamo has moved men into Inhambane, particularly into Homoine, and has put psychological pressure on people living there", so that they were abandoning their homes in panic, said Chume.
He made it clear that the government intended to prevent Renamo from establishing any bases in Homoine. "The defence and security forces are on the ground in Homoine, in order to take measures that will restore life in the district to normal".

After a recent family celebration we were left with an open bottle of champagne three-quarters full. Following the advice of an 'old wives' tale', I put a teaspoon into the neck of the bottle - which then was put into the fridge.
The next day, when tasted, the champagne had hardly lost any of its 'fizz', although on the day after, when we finished the bottle, it was a little flatter.
Could the teaspoon, an ordinary stainless-steel one, really stop the champagne from going flat? Or was the fact that the champagne was refrigerated the reason?

America's Next Top Model
America's Next Top Model Cycle 18 Premieres to Truly Sad Ratings
If a show premieres to no one watches, does it make a sound?
America's Next Top Model Cycle 18 premiered last night (February 29), but very, very few people watched. According to TV by the Numbers, only 1.3 million people tuned in, and the show pulled a 0.6 in the coveted 18-49 demo. For those who aren't familiar with ratings, that's really not good.
For comparison, that 0.6 is 45% worse than the All-Stars premiere last spring.
Well, good thing it the show has already been renewed for Cycle 19.
ANTM airs Wednesdays at 9 pm ET/PT on The CW.

A satellite built to observe infrared light from newborn stars in distant galaxies has spun out of control. The Wide-Field Infrared Explorer (WIRE) blasted off on 4 March. As soon as it hit orbit, however, NASA mission controllers discovered that a leak of hydrogen from its cooling system was causing the craft to spin at 60 revolutions per minute. The spin began to stabilise over the weekend, and as New Scientist went to press, engineers were working to slow it down still further. But the satellite is already useless: the lost hydrogen was needed to cool WIRE's infrared detectors.

Glee Project Recap of Season 2, Episode 1: "Individuality" — Ryan Murphy Tries to Cut Two People!
Our favorite summer obsession is back! That's right — The Glee Project has returned, and this week's premiere episode was as much of a blast as ever. The episode was jam-packed with Lady Gaga and hair metal, rock-paper-scissors, lots of horrible dance moves, and plenty of Lea Michele (Rachel) awesomeness. Now throw out your tampons, and let's get started!
The episode, "Individuality," kicks off with the contestants all meeting up in the house for the first time, meaning hugs all around. Instead of last year's 12 contestants, this year will have 14, so there is one more person to compete against this year — that is, if you ask Shanna. In other words, you probably shouldn't ask Shanna anything math-related.
There are several firsts regarding the contestants this season, including Mario, who's blind; Ali, who's in a wheelchair; and Tyler, who's transgender. We also meet Aylin, who's a total flirt — and that is certainly not a first for this show. In fact, is it just us, or does Aylin totally remind you of sassy Emily from Season 1?
Casting director Robert Ulrich explains that the first group number will be Gaga's "Born This Way," but that the contestants will have to decide on their own who is singing what part. Sounds like a job for rock-paper-scissors (which is how singers on Broadway decide which parts they're going to sing, right?). The contestants also had to come up with their own choreography, which explains why the choreography kinda-sorta sucked.
It's time to bring out two major guest stars to judge the group performance. First up is Ryan Murphy, who stresses that there will only be one winner this year (we'll believe it when it happens, Ryan) and that the contestants should try to inspire young people.
And then out comes Lea Michele, to gasps aplenty from the contestants. Lea tells everyone to not be afraid to be yourself and "let your geek flag fly" — though why she didn't say, "Let your Gleek flag fly," we'll never know.
The group performs "Born This Way," and it's time for Lea to select a winner. Lea is really sweet to (almost) everyone, including Lily, who has dealt with weight issues but cries when Lea says she's beautiful; and Mario, who Lea says made her day. Only Dani received a slight diss from Lea, for not being clear about who she is. But the winner is Shanna, who Lea says is "gonna rip through this." Not a bad first day for Shanna, eh?
Up next, the group will be performing Whitesnake's "Here I Go Again," meaning that this is probably a song that Mark Salling should have been the mentor for, dontcha think? Oh, well. Everyone then goes to their first choreography lesson with Zach Woodlee, and Zach is not impressed with their footwork, particularly Tyler's, whom Zach calls out.
Everyone heads to the recording studio with Nikki, who is most impressed with Shanna, calling her a "powerhouse." Earning less effusive reactions from Nikki were Taryn, who lacked confidence, and Maxfield, who Nikki says was "struggling so bad." And when you're a contestant, being described as "struggling so bad" is probably not a good sign.
From there, it's time to film the video, which is about indulging your inner rock star. The contestants that show the most acting prowess in the video are Shanna (noticing a pattern here?) and Blake, whom Robert describes as having a goofy, Jim Carrey-style sensibility (which we're assuming was meant to be a compliment?). On the other end of the spectrum are Max, who seems lost; Taryn, who isn't giving much effort; and Aylin, who's lacking her usual spunkiness.
It's now time for the contestants to find out how they did and to learn which are the bottom three. The contestant who was the best this week is — no surprise here — Shanna. From the way Shanna is establishing herself as an early frontrunner, along with the way that she isn't afraid to compliment herself, she's reminding us a little of Season 1's Lindsay Pearce. Okay, so Shanna clearly isn't as in love with herself as Lindsay was, but we're not sure it's humanly possible to love yourself as much as Linds did last year.
As for the bottom three, that dubious distinction goes to Aylin, Maxfield, and Tyler, who will now be required to give a last-chance performance for Ryan Murphy. Aylin is assigned "Without You," and Max is assigned "Always On My Mind," and they both seem content with those choices. However, Tyler gets "ABC" by the Jackson 5, and he is not happy about it. Of course, we all know that New Directions did a bang-up job with it earlier this season, so it's certainly possible to excel with that song.
Ailyn is up first, and Ryan Murphy seems wowed by her vocals, as he even asks her if she was singing the song in her car. Okay, so we're not exactly sure what he meant by that, but it seemed positive.
However, he goes on to tell the other judges that Aylin vocals on "Without You" weren't as strong as when Lea Michele did it on Glee. Then again, complaining that someone's vocals don't live up to Lea Michele's is sort of like hiring someone to paint your house for you, and then complaining that the painting job isn't as impressive as the one that Michelangelo did for the Sistine Chapel.
Ryan is not as impressed with Tyler's vocals and tells him that he won't be able to compete vocally with the other contestants, but Ryan says he's drawn to Tyler's personality and story. And then Maxfield is up, and Ryan appears to be fine with his vocals but finds his personality lacking. According to Robert, Max performed better than he had been, whereas Tyler performed worse than he had been.
We then hear the judges deliberate over their decision, and Ryan tries to convince the other judges to cut two of the contestants, saying that it has to happen one of these days. (Someone's in a crabby mood!) However, Nikki is especially adamant that they only cut one person this week. So we're not exactly certain who else Ryan wanted to cut, but we can only assume that Nikki saved Tyler.
It's now time for Robert to reveal who's been cut, and the unlucky first person to go is countrified Max, which isn't a huge surprise. (Also, doesn't Coach Beiste already have the country genre covered on Glee?) However, given that Max has only been singing for six months (say what?!), we think that Max has a lot of potential. Get 'er done, Max!
So who do we think could win this thing, and did we meet anyone whom we could fall in love with as much as we fell for Damian and Cameron in Season 1? Well, clearly Shanna established herself as an instant frontrunner, as there are moments when her voice kinda blows us away. We just hope she doesn't get too full of herself after her stellar first week.
As for the guys, we didn't really get to know any of them particularly well yet, but it seems that Blake has promise. We also enjoyed Mario's voice — not to mention that infectious smile of his. But as far as whether any of the guys on the level of Damian and Cameron? Not yet — but Damian and Cameron set the bar pretty darn high last year!
And speaking of Blake, we have to agree with Aylin that he's not too shabby in the looks department. Come to think of it, we'd love to have been a fly on the wall when Aylin and her mom watch this week's episode, because of her lines about Blake but also for that scene where Aylin announces to the world that she's forbidden to use tampons and that her mom doesn't know that she's kissed a guy. Awkward! (And a note to the other female contestants: We don't really need to hear details about your time of the month. Thanks.)
All in all, this was an amazing start to the second season. This week's episode was perfect because it involved singing plus emotion plus fun — and that's math that even Shanna can do.

Temple Grandin read psychology, then switched to animal science. She is now associate professor of animal science at Colorado State University. Grandin researches cattle handling, restraint and welfare, and has designed handling systems that spare millions of cattle distress in US slaughterhouses. Her two books about autism are Thinking in Pictures (1996) and Animals in Translation (2005)
Why would being autistic help someone work with animals?
Autistic people can think the way that animals think. Autism is a way station on the road that links humans to other animals. I can tell people why animals do the things they do. I am against anthropomorphising animals, but you have to think: if I was a cow, how would I react? I find that really easy to figure out. I am paid to see all the stuff that normal people cannot see.
What sort of stuff is that?

The Marche region
Even today Marche remains a largely undiscovered gem in the heart of Italy, sandwiched between the stunning Apennine mountains on its western fringes and the beautiful Adriatic coast to the east.
Perhaps because Marche has historically been an isolated region, sheltered as it is from intrusion by its natural mountain borders to the north, south and west and by the Adriatic Sea, it is only slowly gaining rightful recognition.
The region gets comparatively little mention in the travel media, deferring to the wider fame of neighbouring Tuscany and Umbria. Yet it can justifiably claim to be Italy's very own Garden of Eden.
It boasts lush greenery (often a surprise to visitors) and an enchanting mixture of sunflower fields, abundant woodland, many rivers which wind their way down to a beautiful coastline, and stunning mountain scenery.
Bordering both Umbria and Tuscany, as well as Abruzzo, Lazio and Emilia-Romagna, the region has an identity all of its own.
Walkers, trekkers and nature lovers can also find their feet here, with regional and national parks offering an abundance of outdoor activities, including trekking, mountain biking, paragliding, nature trails, hunting and fishing and ski-ing.
Marche has two national parks, the Monti Sibillini National Park and the Gran Sasso Monti Della Laga National Park.
The Monti Sibillini National Park actively promotes and protects wildlife habitats and has played a key role in building a stable population of wolves and other creatures such as the golden eagle. Wild boar abound and with the help of active re-introduction programmes there are also now signs of the return of the Marsicana brown bear from its stronghold in neighbouring Abruzzo. There are even signs of the return of the secretive and shy lynx.
Rising 572m from the sea near Ancona, Monte Conero is one of Marche's best known landmarks. It is home to a regional park and is an excellent place to see birds such as the marsh harrier and long-legged buzzard, while its coastal waters offer beautiful coved beaches and are ideal for organised boat trips.
The other regional park by the sea is the Colle San Bartolo Regional Park near Gabicce, home to wetlands of national importance.
A myriad of fascinating caves form the central attraction of the inland park, Gola della Rossa Frasassi Regional Park, recognised as the most interesting limestone caves in Italy. Special tours lead you through a series of caves complete with small lakes, stalactites, huge stalagmites and onto the truly cavernous Abisso Ancona, a cave from ground to ceiling fully 240m high.
The property has super views, is very private being surrounded by fields and woodland and yet is only three miles from the hilltop town of Gualdo, one of the most sought after destinations for second home buyers in the whole of central Italy.
The village may be small but it has a shop, bar, bank and restaurant and in the summer is host to some fine festivals which attract a lot of locals from the surrounding villages and towns.
Close at hand is the larger town of Sarnano, the main town in the area, still quite small, but again full of life in the summer months and the main local ski resort over the winter, snow permitting.
The town has a good choice of bars and restaurants and is the gateway to some unique excursions into the mountains which form its impressive backdrop.
For those interested in the area's history there is much to see in the surrounding towns. Here you will not find the famous museums of Florence or Rome but instead a large network of small and understated but charming little museums.
History surrounds the traveller in the local architecture and the traditions which in this part of Italy are religiously maintained.
Fine local produce is available in the shops and markets, from the local salami, to various types of pasta, dolci and a fine choice of local red and white wines, from Gotico to Pecorino.

From my Forbes.com blog The New Persuaders:
Any blogger or media site knows there can be a lot of garbage in the comments on their posts and stories. Now, there's a little gold in them, too.
A couple of months after quietly rolling out an ad system to select advertisers and publishers, commenting service Disqus is revealing a bit about the initial results. The ads build upon an article discovery feature Disqus introduced over the summer, a box below the comments that provides links to related articles either on the site or elsewhere on the Web. Disqus, which claims 75% market share among independent commenting systems such as those from Facebook and Livefyre, says 900 million unique visitors a month view 6 billion pages monthly on 2 million websites.
Promoted Discovery units are a way for publishers and advertisers (which also may be other publishers) to buy links that will send traffic their way. They barely look like ads, but that's the point of so-called native monetization, also employed in Facebook's Sponsored Stories and Twitter's Promoted Tweets: They seek to avoid disrupting the flow of what people are doing, especially in a social setting–or, if you're a cynic, they seek to conceal the fact that they're ads. Either way, though, they often get more clicks and other engagement. …

Ride Em' Cowboy, detail, 18 x 24, oil on canvas
Ok, my secret is out. I love vintage cowboy figurines. Alright, it
wasn't much of a secret. I collect them. I display them. I love them.
The background features a silk scarf with a wonderful picture of a
cowboy on a horse. Each ceramic cowboy has his own palomino horse and a
cactus to show us he is in the Southwest.
I like the hard, shiny figurines against the soft texture of the scarf and rug.
To see the full image of the painting, see My Blog http://khendersonart.blogspot.com/2012/11/ride-em-cowboy.html
Perfecto. me encanta el contraste en el dibujo del fondo y las figuras de porcelana, el brillo y la textura de la porcelana quedaron perfectas
Thanks jfgarcia. I wanted to keep the scarf detailed but I didn't want it to compete with the figures in the foreground.
You have achieved all that you set out to portray, the figurines appear solid and shiny and you captured the muted colors and texture of the scarf, beautiful.
Thanks Sharon. It's such a pretty scarf , it was difficult not to paint it in it's full glorious colors.

One of the first tasks of the NIAID-South Korean team was to oversee construction of a new biosafety level 3 (BSL-3) facility where research on MDR TB could be performed safely. The BSL-3 lab—opened at a newly founded institute, called the International Tuberculosis Research Center, adjacent to the hospital—supports clinical studies to test new drugs for both latent and MDR TB. All funding for the BSL-3 lab's construction was provided by the South Korean Ministry of Health, Welfare, and Family Affairs.
Recently, NIAID scientists led by Clifton E. Barry III, Ph.D., have been working with colleagues at the hospital and with the manufacturers of the drugs meropenem and clavulanate to evaluate a combination of these drugs in people who have MDR or XDR TB. Laboratory tests have shown the drug combination to be effective in killing drug-susceptible strains of TB bacteria as well as XDR TB.

NATIONAL BAT Week begins in Britain next week and, as usual, it will be accompanied by the annual census of bats. Conservationists will begin counting the animals on 22 June, as the bats leave their roosts at dusk. Rob Stebbings, the coordinator of the National Bat Count*, hopes that numbers have begun to recover. When the first survey was made in 1978, conservationists estimated that the British population stood at 3 to 4 million. Last year's survey showed that the population had halved.
Stebbings coordinates the bat count of the largest and most stable colonies during the first three weeks of each June. The 800 roosts surveyed include some unusual ones like the so-called 'Bat Palace' at Peebles.
Some of the 15 species native to Britain are especially vulnerable either because their natural haunts are disrupted by human activity, or because they are harmed by poisonous chemicals, particularly those which ...

Frequently Asked Questions
1. Who is an nonresident alien for tax purposes?
There are several ways to define a nonresident alien (NRA) for tax purposes. Generally, any F-1 or J-1 full time student who has been in the U.S. for five calendar years or less is considered to be a nonresident alien for tax purposes.
Any J-1 teacher/researcher who has been in the U.S. for two calendar years or less, out of the last six calendar years, is considered to be a nonresident alien for tax purposes.
Generally, any other visa holder (e.g. H1-B) who is in the U.S. for less than 183 days during his/her first visit here, would be a nonresident alien for tax purposes in that year. Visits in the subsequent year count toward testing for tax residency status. The Glacier™ Online Tax Compliance System will make this determination using the information collected from each individual.
Once you become a resident alien for tax purposes, you are subject to the same taxes as a U.S. citizen. A nonresident alien is taxed differently than a U.S. citizen or Resident Alien. For example, a nonresident alien is not entitled to the standard deduction that is available to U.S. citizens and Resident Aliens.
Back to Top
2. I am a new international student who has just arrived on campus. What should I do first?
3. Does the nonresident alien designation for tax purposes have anything to do with my visa or immigration status?
4. What is FICA tax and why do I have to pay it?
FICA is also called Social Security tax and is comprised of two parts. One portion is called OASDI, which funds pension payments for retired persons in the U.S, and the other portion is called Medicare Tax, which funds medical insurance for retired persons.
Generally, F-1 and J-1 nonresident alien students and J-1 nonresident alien teacher/researchers are exempt from this tax. However, if you become a resident alien for tax purposes, you would be subject to FICA tax. U.S. tax law requires that you pay the tax based on your tax residency status, regardless of whether or not you ever derive any benefits from the FICA taxes you pay.
Back to Top
5. Why do I have to pay tax when my country has a tax treaty with the U.S.?
The existence of a tax treaty does not automatically entitle anyone to tax exemption. The treaties have different provisions, requirements and limitations. Each person's situation must be analyzed to determine whether any treaty benefits apply to that particular individual.
6. I entered the U.S. with a B1/B2, F-2, J-2 or H4 visa. Can I change my visa status to F-1 or J-1 and use a student or teacher treaty exemption?
7. I used my country's treaty as a student, I am now a teacher. Can I use the treaty as a teacher also?
8. Do I have to file a tax return since I am not a U.S. citizen?
Yes. Anyone who works and earns income in the United States must file an income tax return each year. Nonresident alien taxpayers file either the form 1040NR-EZ or the 1040NR. If you worked in the U.S. during the calendar year, your return is due by April 15. In some cases, you may file your federal tax returns by June 15. In some cases you don't have to file any federal tax return. In all cases, nonresident aliens must file Form 8843.
Back to Top
9. Does Drexel provide individual tax assistance?
No. We do not prepare individual tax returns or give tax advice to individuals. Individuals seeking assistance in preparing their tax returns should contact Taxpayer's Assistance at the IRS Office at 600 Arch Street, Philadelphia, PA.
10. Is my financial aid from Drexel University taxable?
This includes travel expenses paid for you by your department and expenses reimbursed directly to you. In either case, you are still liable for the tax.
In all cases where financial aid is taxable to nonresident aliens, we are required to withhold 14% Federal Income Tax on those payments. The tax withholding on financial aid will be deducted from check payments. In some cases, where applicable, the tax will be added to your student account and become part of your overall financial responsibility to Drexel University.
11. If I am working for Drexel University but I am not actually in the U.S, do I have to pay income taxes?
No. If you are a nonresident alien, you are not taxed on foreign source income. If you spend some time in the U.S. and some time outside of the U.S. working for Drexel during the calendar year, you are taxed on a portion of the income earned in the U.S.
12. The IRS definition of prizes and awards and the criteria under which they would not be taxable:
Prizes and awards are amounts received primarily in recognition of religious, charitable, scientific, educational, artistic, literary, or civic achievement, or are received as the result of entering a contest. A prize or award is taxable at 30% to the recipient unless all of the following conditions are met:
The recipient was selected without any action on his or her part to enter the contest or proceeding,
The recipient is not required to render substantial future services as a condition to receive the prize or award,
The prize or award is transferred by the payer to a governmental unit or
Tax-exempt charitable organization as designated by the recipient.
The recipient was selected without any action on his or her part to enter the contest or proceeding,
The recipient is not required to render substantial future services as a condition to receive the prize or award,
The prize or award is transferred by the payer to a governmental unit or
Tax-exempt charitable organization as designated by the recipient.
