Just three days after their science hit the headlines, staff at the JET project heard that 10 per cent of them would not have their contracts renewed at the end of 1992.
Managers at JET say that it was a coincidence that the 'breakthrough' and the announcement of staff cuts came within days of each other. They say they could not have anticipated the extent and timing of the cuts a year ago, when they started to plan experiments with deuterium and tritium.
More puzzling than the timing of the announcement is the way in which JET landed in its current plight. There has been no overt decision by the European Community to reduce Europe's fusion programme. The retrenchment of fusion both at JET and in national laboratories is a consequence of the Community's byzantine budgeting process. The failure of the Council of Ministers and the European Parliament to agree ...

Earlier this week, it was revealed by the Washington State Business License Directory that Bungie president Harold Ryan would serve as a director at the newly incorporated Bungie Aerospace Corporation. Now, the nascent company has filed a trademark for something called "Crimson."
"Crimson" is principally listed as "computer game software downloadable from a global computer network" in the May 4-dated United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) listing. It is also listed as "Computer game software for use on mobile and cellular phones," as well as "Downloadable computer game software via a global computer network and wireless devices."
At GDC Online 2010, Bungie writer and designer Joseph Staten teased the studio's newest project, saying, "Wouldn't it be great if we could make a world that was always there for you, with lots of stories to tell, like a big, infinite storytelling horizon? Man, that would be great."
That description likens the project to something resembling a massively multiplayer online game, which falls in line with the "global computer network" descriptor for the project mentioned in the UPSTO filing.
Additionally, Bungie has been actively recruiting mobile developers, as spotted on the studio's jobs page at Bungie.net. According to these listings--one for a Contract Mobile Application Programmer and one for a Senior Mobile Application Programmer--Bungie is looking for those with a "Comprehensive understanding of at least one current mobile [software development kit] (iOS, Android, Windows Mobile, etc…)."
Additionally, these employees would join a mobile development team "focused on establishing real-time connectivity for millions of users and terabytes of data."
GameSpot's attempts to reach attorney on record Jim Charne--a noted video game attorney who co-moderated an emerging issues panel at GDC 2011 in February--were not successful as of press time.
Currently, Bungie is locked into a 10-year publishing deal with megapublisher Activision. Neither the studio nor the publisher has yet mentioned what the first game stemming from the partnership will be. Unfortunately, news is not likely to come soon, as Bungie has confirmed it will not have an official presence at the 2011 Electronic Entertainment Expo, which runs June 7-9 in Los Angeles.

Wrecked cars are seen on Las Vegas Boulevard and Flamingo Avenue as Las Vegas Metro Police investigate a shooting and multi-car accident that left three people dead and at least three injured on the Las Vegas Strip in Las Vegas, Nevada in the early morning February 21, 2013. (REUTERS/Las Vegas Sun/Steve Marcus)
LAS VEGAS: The Las Vegas Strip became a scene of deadly violence early Thursday when someone in a Range Rover opened fire on a Maserati at a stoplight, sending it crashing into a taxi that burst into flames, leaving three people dead and at least six injured.
Police were checking with nearby businesses to see whether a previous altercation prompted the car-to-car attack at Las Vegas and Flamingo boulevards, the site of several major casinos, including Bellagio, Caesars Palace and Bally's.
"This doesn't happen where we come from, not on this scale," said Mark Thompson, who was visiting from Manchester, England, with his wife. "We get stabbings, and gang violence, but this is like something out of a movie. Like 'Die Hard' or something."
Police were contacting authorities in three neighboring states about the black Range Rover Sport with tinted windows that fled the scene about 4:30 a.m.
Police said the Maserati hit the taxi cab, which burst into flames, and the driver and passenger were killed. The male driver of the Maserati also died, and his passenger was shot.
Caesars valet Jordan Smith, 24, said he heard the crash and the explosion and ran to the scene where the taxi was in flames.
He said paramedics from the hotel were treating some of the injured.
"What is the genesis of this, when did this all start? We don't know yet," Las Vegas Police Sgt. John Sheahan said.
Sheahan said the cars were stopped at a light when at least one person in the Range Rover opened fire. Several people were inside the vehicle.
Six other vehicles were involved in the crash that followed, including the taxi and Maserati.
The taxi driver and rear passenger were dead at the scene. The taxi might have been propane-powered.
The incident marked the latest violence on the Strip since the beginning of the year. Two people were critically wounded in a shooting at a parking garage Feb. 6, and a tourist was stabbed Saturday in an elevator at The Hotel at Mandalay Bay.
Tourist Jeff Martin, 33, said he was unable to cross the Strip several hours after the incident.
"When you're out at 4 a.m. nothing good's going to happen," he said.

PERHAPS René Descartes was right when he argued in 1649 that the pineal gland is the seat of the soul. Brain scans suggest that the area surrounding the gland is activated when people meditate.
"There is no definition of 'soul' in the scientific field," says Jyh-Horng Chen of the National Taiwan University in Taipei, co-leader of the study. "However, our results demonstrate a correlation between pineal activation and religious meditation which might have profound implications in the physiological understanding of mind, spirit and soul."
Chen and his colleagues took fMRI scans of the brains of 11 men and 9 women as they practised a meditation technique called Chinese original quiet sitting. Their pineal areas were most active in the first phase, when practitioners silently recite religious mantras and try to get themselves into the right frame of mind prior to a prolonged relaxation phase.
The gland's main function is to ...

Decision Point: Office Crush (The Good One!)
You see, I have two office crushes.
Part of me believes that everything –EVERYTHING — in life is about timing. That a person with whom you could have been best friends, or lifetime lovers, might simply pass beneath your radar if you meet them at the wrong time. This is especially true in dating. I think there was no way on earth Lieu and I could ever have worked. He was just too damaged at the time I met him to do anything more than take take take.
Thus, the woman posed with him and his children in his current profile picture on Facebook, which I saw for the first time at midnight last night after strenuously not looking for seven months, is not a better or more worthy person than me. She merely has better luck. Most people do (in the global 1% we all dwell in, at least.) She probably also has a graduate degree, and a controlling personality, and a history of never doing anything interesting nor wearing eyeliner. Whatever! I FEEL FINE ABOUT IT SO DON'T ASK ME.
Where was I again? Right.
So, in my last post I confessed my terrible dilemma about that one guy, and everyone judged me because it is horrible. Believe me, I know this. From now on we shall call him the Inappropriate Object (IO), so that we don't give his name any power. (In real life, he shares a name with my best friend, so I never ever say it aloud anyway, because ick.)
I said I felt the click when I met him, and I did. BUT. What if the click isn't so much about him as it is about…me?
You know how it is when you start dating someone that you like, and all of a sudden you start getting all kinds of male attention? We tend to say that it's the glow of new love. But maybe it's just because you're throwing off all of this sex energy all of a sudden — because of the phase of the moon or the phase of your menstrual cycle or some kind of pollen-driven psychic shift that hasn't been pinpointed — and New Guy You're Dating just happens to be the first lucky soul to pick up what you're laying down.
I'm saying that maybe we are all essentially like those fish that release their gametes into the water and wait for babies to grow. Sperm meets egg because they happen to be in the same place at the same time. There's nothing cosmic about it (excluding the effect the moon has upon the tide.)
I'm saying that maybe we are all surrounded by opportunities for love and affection all the time, and that we just have to be in the right frame of mind to see them.
I'm saying that it's mostly about pheremones and hormones, and mine are going CRAZY for the past couple of months. At night I wake up with the sheets soaking wet and a freight train running through the middle of my head whoa whoa whoa I'm on fire, etc.
I'm saying that there is another man who has caught my eye, and we call him the Office Crush. He is adorable. He is appropriate (except for being seven years younger than I am.) He is creative and quiet and bearded. He sits next to me, and I am always aware of him. When the IO calls me (a dozen times a day) I stop thinking about him as soon as I can and turn my thoughts to the Office Crush. I keep scented lotion at my desk so I can smooth some on before I step into the Office Crush's office under some trumped-up pretense. He intrigues me. He asks me for input on things that do not require my input at all, and I lean way over his monitor to give it. (That is how one flirts when impeded by office furniture. I think. I'm a bit rusty, what with the no dates for 18 months.)
And after tomorrow — my last day at my current job — there is no reason why I should ever see or talk to Office Crush again.
I am terrible at knowing if men like me. Whatever I suspect, I can always talk myself into the opposite. I have tried and tried to send every signal I can to the Office Crush, and sometimes I think he really is picking up what I'm laying down…and sometimes I think he's just a polite person who has decent social graces. We are, after all, colleagues.
So, tomorrow. Should I:
a) Keep sending out strong psychic signals and hope he responds by suggesting we do something outside work.
b) Take it upon myself to suggest that we do something outside work. ("We should get drinks some time." Or "We should hang out some time." Or "We should make out some time.")
c) Leave him a note to find on Monday. ("I'd like to hang out with you outside work. If that sounds like fun, here's my email address. If not, that's okay too.")
d) Stop thinking lascivious thoughts about my male colleagues at the extraordinarily paranoid and litigious corporation where we work.
e) Die alone and be eaten by cats. Even though I don't like cats. (I think he has cats.)
Advise me, please.

Several members of the Alexandria Sheriff's Office are showing their support of the fight against breast cancer by wearing special pink badges. Sheriff Dana Lawhorne authorized deputies to wear the custom-made badges throughout October, which is National Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Deputies ordered and paid for the badges themselves after a colleague, Deputy Amy Clinton, lost her battle against the disease this summer.Many of Deputy Clinton's co-workers on Team 1B at the William G. Truesdale Adult Detention Center, as well as deputies in other assignments, are proudly wearing their pink badges in tribute to her and in honor of several other deputies who are breast cancer survivors. In the center of the badge (right) are pink handcuffs, a pink ribbon and a message reading "Arrest Breast Cancer" and "Unlock the Cure."The Sheriff's Office is also leading a team in Deputy Clinton's memory in the annual Alexandria Walk to Fight Breast Cancer on Saturday, October 26. For more information on how to join "Amy's Warriors," visit The Walk website.

watch: "i love it" – icona pop
One of my favorite pasttimes used to be creating the perfect breakup mix. No, I wouldn't make them when I had just broken up with someone. I would make them when I was single or in a relationship, in anticipation of some I figured that if I could make the absolute perfect breakup mix, then I could get over any breakup in less than 60 minutes.
Okay, maybe not so realistic. But I had a plan! I would start with the really desperate "I want you back" songs, then move on to the sappy "my life is over" songs, and finally into the triumphant "you're a jerk and i'm better off without you" songs. And yeah, there might have been some Kelly Clarkson in there.
Anyway: all this is relevant because I just found the most fantastic to end any break-up mix. It's a new track from Swedish pop due Icona Pop, and you need to clear out your schedule for the next 30 minutes, because this one's going on repeat. Infectious doesn't even begin to describe it.
I actually came across this track last weekend, but I was waiting on posting it because this is a song that you can't really appreciate at 10 AM on a Tuesday. This is the last song you put on as you're getting ready on a Friday night. It's pure pop music – a beat that gets you moving before you even know what's happening, and a tune that get stuck in your head and just won't leave.
Killer Lyric (That's Somewhat Questionable When You Really Think About It): "I threw your shit into a bag and pushed it down the stairs / I crashed my car into the bridge / I don't know care / I love it"
Number of Times I Listened To The Song On Repeat The First Time I Heard It: 6
Number of Times I Listened To It On My Phone In Bed That Night: 2
And the celebratory mood of this song is the perfect atmosphere to let you know this is my 100th post at 70dayweekend! I just wanted to say thank you so much to anyone and everyone that has taken the time to read, comment, and follow. It means so much to me, and I hope you're enjoying reading my blog as much as I am writing it. xoxo, laura

Some form of the question is asked pretty much every time Ray Rice goes behind a microphone or faces reporters. After all, he has to crack at some point, doesn't he?
Five months after signing a contract extension that made him one of the NFL's highest paid running backs and seemingly solidified his status as the focal point of the Ravens' offense, Rice is on pace to finish with his fewest rushing and receiving yards since his rookie season. Barring a dramatic workload increase over the final two regular season games, Rice will have his fewest carries since 2009, his first year as a starter.

A longtime assistant coach has been named the head boys varsity basketball coach at Huron High School.
Bob James, 1994 Perkins graduate, who has been coaching basketball for the past 13 years, was named by the Huron Board of Education to succeed Jeff Winslow on an interim basis.
Winslow's basketball contract was not renewed after three seasons at the control of the program.
"Bob has been a loyal assistant coach for many years, who has worked with great coaches here and at Perkins," Huron athletic director Tony Munafo said. "I believe Bob will bring a lot to the table and has done a nice job of organizing a veteran staff."
Said James, "It really is a dream come true for me, and a great opportunity. We have a good group coming back from last year, although all but one of the top prospects is involved in football right now. I can't wait until practice officially begins Nov. 6," said James, 33.
"My goal is to continue on what Jeff (Winslow) had planned and I realize the tradition built here under coaches like Jess Hagy, Bob Bowers and Dino Caporini," James said.
James noted Tom Kowaleski will remain as varsity assistant with the Tigers and Darius Schaefer fills the role James had as JV coach.
Frank Gioffre and Caporini will also going to be involved in the program.
James served seven years in all at Perkins in the role of assistant coach, either JV or varsity, and has been the Huron JV coach for six seasons.
James and his wife, Mary, have two children, Sam and Meredith.

5.0 Mustang & Super FordsHow To Engine
ATI's Stage I & Stage II ProCharger Kit - Stage Fright
ATI-Procharger's Two-Pronged Approach To Frightening '03-'04 Cobra Performance
Horse Sense:
Though we knew our little Real Street class might become a testbed for racing technology to transfer to the street market, we didn't know it would be quite this direct. The P-1SC2 supercharger raced by the likes of Justin Burcham and Tim Matherly is the same self-contained blower packaged in ATI's Stage I '03-'04 Cobra kit. Better yet, it's good for 600-plus-horsepower at the wheels in a completely streetable car.
Modified '03 and '04 Cobras are the rage. Add a chip, a pulley, a cold-air kit, and an exhaust, and these cars will make power we had only dreamed of from such mild modifications. The bottom line is, Ford really outdid itself with these cars. They are hot rods right from the factory, and they're ripe for the modding in the hands of power-hungry enthusiasts. If you're tired of reading about them, it's probably because-like us-you don't own one. And, you think it's all been written by now, so we should be on to the next thing.
Well, the next thing-the '05 Mustang-isn't here yet, and by the looks of what we've seen from ATI-ProCharger, we haven't read the last story about big-power Cobras. But wait a minute. These Cobras already have superchargers, and the really power-crazed are replacing them with screw blowers. So, why are we writing about ATI? If you checked out our SEMA coverage in the April issue ("Truckload Scale," p. 82), you no doubt saw that ATI had debuted its centrifugal conversion kit for '03-'04 Cobras. We'd heard of it before then, and we've been chasing the story for months. So determined were we, that we convinced ATI to let us inside some of its testing on the Stage I kits as well as on a sneak preview of the insane Stage II kit-but more on that later.
When we first heard the Cobras were to have factory superchargers, we assumed it would take a bite out of the companies that do brisk centrifugal business turning '96-'01 Cobras into blown terrors. So why would ATI-ProCharger create a centrifugal conversion kit for a car with a Roots-style blower? It's fairly simple, really. ATI's Dan Jones says the main reason is the car's purpose-built blower motor. Installing a supercharger on an engine built for one is a far more attractive proposition than making one work on a naturally aspirated engine with high compression and light-duty pistons. Additionally, the company saw it as a way to allow the market to directly compare its self-contained centrifugal blowers with the likewise self-contained Roots-style and screw blowers. And it certainly didn't hurt that customers were asking to buy such kits.
Though ATI had kits that would bolt to the Four-Valve 4.6 from its '99-'01 Cobra and Mach 1 kits, the real challenge was adapting an upper intake to replace the factory Roots-style blower, as ATI wanted to take advantage of the factory air-to-water intercooler. Beginning in the summer of 2003, several prototype intakes were built, with the main challenge to achieve adequate airflow while making the part relatively easy to manufacture. Along the way, ATI consulted with Ford engineers to learn just what these engines like, which apparently is plenty of boost-as long as you keep the rpm under 6,500 or so when the cams run out.
Along with determining how to install the blower on the car, it was important to choose the right head unit for the kit. ATI is never shy about creating a blower for a specific application, but after doing some blower mapping, the company determined that its P-1SC2 blower-spec'd for the Real Street class-fit the bill, as it is a potent torque producer, which follows along with the intent of these cars.

opinionBy Abiola Akiyode-Afolabi
Lagos — Amongst the numerous social, political and economic crises undermining Nigeria's nascent democracy, a key issue has been the implementation of the Sharia Criminal Penal Code in northern Nigeria.
Sharia law is as old as Nigeria itself. Historically the 19th century holy war, which was led by Shehu Usman Dan Fodio in the Hausa kingdom, had as one of its major aims the need to improve the standards of living of Muslim women. However, after his death, and with time, the kingdom returned to its patriarchal structures.
The implementation of Sharia Penal Codes in northern Nigeria since 1999 is flawed in several respects. Firstly, it does not adequately protect the rights of
women. Therefore abuse, violence and discrimination against women go unpunished as they are wrongly considered to be socially acceptable. In addition, the testimony of women is devalued and treated as that of a minor or person without necessary legal capacity. Often, these biases and attitudes also affect judges and therefore the judgment of the Sharia Courts.
In the last two years, three major cases that have violated women's rights have attracted international and public condemnation. In Safiya Tungartudu Hussein's case for instance, the question of gender bias has been raised on the following grounds:Her pregnancy constituted the main evidence against her, but no scientific efforts were made to establish or disprove the paternity of the child. Two, the onus of pivot of adultery was just pregnancy. Three, the man named in the case was allowed to go free after denying responsibility for the pregnancy.
These points alone suggest that the thinking of the court and supporters of
sharia is that only women can be guilty of the 'offences' of adultery or fornication. What happens then, in the case of seduction of minors, or rape?
This suggests that men living under shaira have been given a license to rape
women and seduce or assault minors, or even impregnate them in the course of a relationship and then deny responsibility and watch them face a death sentence.
Democratically minded Muslim activists have also adjudged the pronouncement as a misapplication of sharia law, as a result of ignorance on the part of the women, the judge and those that supported the sentence.
Some Islamic scholars go further and believe that under the sharia law every person irrespective of country of origin, religion, race, sex, status, age or colour has basic human rights that should be respected. These rights include: the rights to life, right to justice, right to equality, right to be free from discrimination, right to freedom from slavery, respect for the chastity of women, right to freedom from want, right to security of life and property, right to personal liberty, right to freedom of expression, and equality before the law.
Dr. M. T. Ladan has argued for example, that there are some specific rights to women because of their "special responsibilities and status in the eye of Islam". These rights are the right to equality in status, worth and value, right to education, right to own and dispose of property, right to inheritance and dower i.e. a dead man's estate or part of his estate inherited by his widow, right to maintenance, right to custody of children and right to obtain divorce.
Nevertheless, rights campaigners, Islamic modernists and feminists believe that there are two important principles in the Quran which clearly establish gender differences: Notion of quwama (the authority or guardianship that men can exercise individually or collectively over women); notion relegating women to private spheres of life.The notion of quwama is reflected in several verses of Surah 4.34 (Al Nisa). It is also worthy of note that this surah deals with several issues regarding family law, especially marriage, repudiation and inheritance. For instance it is argued that polygamy is forbidden for women (Al Nisa verse 33) while it is allowed for men. Even though this has taken a new dimension in some countries, the verse endorsing polygamy (Quran 4.3) has been read by modern scholars as being applicable only to the man who believes that he will be able to love and relate to more than one wife equitably, including financial maintenance if applicable. This is however subject to the conscience of the man. As we know, ethics, morality and the law in all countries and all religions have established that many men and women have no conscience. In certain countries, modern legal reforms have positively insisted that a man must prove to the court his ability to maintain several wives equitably before entering into a second marriage.
Be that as it may, the critics of this notion still feel that women are not given the same opportunities i.e. to have as many husbands as two, three or four even if they claim they can love, relate to and maintain them equitably. This suggests that men are believed to be superior to women, or in some way more powerful beings.
On the second notion of exclusion of women from political participation, Caliph Abu Bakri has read a hadith to mean or to have an effect that "a nation which places its affairs in the hands of a woman shall never prosper", Al-Bukhari, Hadith No. 4425. Some scholars have argued however that some of these criticisms are a product of custom and have no relationship to the law. Several Muslim countries such as Pakistan, Bangladesh and Indonesia have elected women leaders.
One of the issues regarding gender bias is that of women as witnesses. Quran 2: 282 appears to allow the testimony of women in only civil matters and even then, two women are considered the equivalent of a single male witness. However in criminal procedure, certain interpretations believe that women are not acceptable as credible witnesses. The Nigeria constitution is supreme. Chapter 4 of the 1999 constitution dwells on fundamental human rights, which include rights to freedom of thought, conscience and religion (Section 38, 1999). However, federal legislation does not specifically uphold the rights of women in areas where custom or religion violate their constitutional rights. These inconsistencies and ambiguities in the constitution create the space for the violation of women's rights.
Rights campaigners, women's organisations in Nigeria and internationally need to work towards law reform, and the domestic enforcement of international norms and standard for the observance of women's human rights such as the Convention for the Elimination ofDiscrimination Against Women (CEDAW). Elections are not equal to democracy. The real test of democracy is a nation's capacity to uphold the constitutional, democratic and human rights of all its citizens regardless of ethnicity, race, age, economic and social status, and of course gender.

Christopher Robin- Christopher was routinely beaten in school for wearing short shorts, and talking to stuffed animals. He tried to explain to his fellow classmates that he was part of a "Nair for Kids: Who where's short shorts?" commercial campaign, and initially it worked. Eventually he was caught bragging to Winnie about how he had duped his classmates, and wore short shorts because they made him feel sexy. This resulted in the resumption of his daily beatings. Christopher spent much of high school feeling ostracized, and angrily excusing himself from dinner, so he could go back to "The Hundred Acre Woods", also known as his bedroom. After High School, Christopher Robin went to college sans stuffed animals. His mom told him "This stuffed animal fetish shit has gone far enough, make some damn friends". She would later rue the day she took Christopher's animals away, as he didn't make any friends and was arrested for beastiality. He is currently in prison, for organizing and operating an animal based prostitution ring.
Tigger- Many don't know the back-story on Tigger, the Taiwanese tiger. He was called Tigger because of his tendency to emulate the cultural tendencies of the African American animals in The Hundred Acre Woods. Tigger was addicted to Amphetamines for the majority of his life, and was one of the most prominent dealers within The Hundred Acre Woods. Once he was paid, he would shout out his signature line "Bouncing is what Tiggers do best!" and then run away without giving his customers their drugs. As you may imagine, this tactic made him very unpopular. Eventually Tigger experienced Karma, as he lost his life in a botched drug deal between himself and Gopher. After Tigger tried to steal Gophers money, Gopher burrowed into Tigger's home and killed him with a pickaxe. Tigger was 22 years old.
Winnie The Pooh- Let's not mince words here, Winnie had a bit of an eating problem. Winnie was a troubled bear, growing up poor in The Hundred Acre Woods. He was so poor in fact, that he couldn't even afford pants. From the time Winnie was a young fictional bear, he knew that he had feelings for other bears of the same sex. He used honey to repress his feelings, and was often sexually harassed by Christopher Robin. Eventually, after ballooning up to 700 pounds, Winnie was taken to a rehab facility and denounced his fame, saying that Christopher Robin and the rest of the cast took advantage of his addiction and used it for entertainment purposes. Pooh met Pattington Bear that year, who was in sex rehab after his time as a flasher landed him in jail. The two fell in love, became vegans, and currently live in San Francisco. Neither returned calls when asked to comment on this article.
Gopher- Serving life in prison for killing Tigger with a pickaxe.
Piglet- Poached for his meat, and was the inspiration behind Denny's failed breakfast special, the Piglet Egg and Cheese.
Rabbit- Rabbit was a staunch republican, who was old, and hated anyone that wasn't a conservative rabbit. Rabbit had a job with the Town in The Hundred Acre Woods, and spent a lot of time trying to get Kanga deported since she was Australian. Kanga's child, Roo, often played near Rabbit's garden, so he set traps in an attempt to "catch one of them damn illegals". Eventually, his trap ended up maiming a bird, but he got away with it, saying that the traps were there to protect his garden. Since he worked for the town, he was given a small fine, and continued trying to kill Kanga's kid in a more discrete manner. After a lot of lobbying and racist bullshit, Rabbit eventually had Kanga and Roo deported (Christopher Robin's mom threw them out). He still lives in The Hundred Acre Woods, and is currently planning to run for town mayor in 2012.
Kanga and Roo- See Rabbit. Rumors are circulating that they live in South America, with a friend named Cristobal Robin.
Owl- Owl was Hitler to Rabbit's Goebbels. Complete asshole.
Eeyore- Eeyore was a very depressed donkey, and no one ever knew why. He wasn't very forthcoming, and never had a whole lot to say, until one year at The Hundred Acre Woods Christmas Party. It was there that he had too much to drink, broke down, and admitted that he was a Chicago Cubs fan. People have since stopped questioning why he is perpetually upset.

The Bengies Drive-In has made it to 50. Who would have thought it?
Certainly not D. Vogel, who has been running the venerable Baltimore County institution since 1988.
"I never dreamed, in a million years, that I'd be the survivor," says Vogel, whose indefatigable enthusiasm for the open-air theater his family built and opened back on June 6, 1956, has kept it operating when all the Baltimore area's other drive-ins have shut down. The Edmondson. The Timonium. The Carlin, North Point, Governor Ritchie and Super 170. And, last year, the Bel Air. This area had plenty of drive-ins back in the 1950s and 1960s, when the best way to keep cool on a hot summer evening was to load the family in a car and head out to watch a movie under the open sky.

Women's Basketball Adds Keila Whittington to Staff
Whittington has previous basketball coaching experience at Oregon, Marist, Penn State, Indiana and Delaware.
Memphis WBB
Episode 41: Jeff Brightwell sits down with first year Memphis Women's Basketball Associate Head Coach Keila Whittington and talks about her background as a coach and upcoming home stand with Arkansas-Little Rock and Illinois in the Elma Roane Fieldhouse.
Memphis Basketball
The Annual Memphis Madness to kick off the start of Tiger basketball season.
Behind the Scenes: 2012 Women's Basketball Photo Shoot
This year the Memphis Tiger Network went behind the scenes of the 2012 Memphis women's basketball photo shoot. We had a chance to meet a lot of new faces on the team this year and talk to some of the veterans. Lets just say that when the camera started rolling, we got a chance to see the team in a whole different light. Enjoy!
Keila Whittington joined the University of Memphis staff in June of 2012. With the Tigers, she will assist in scouting opponents, recruiting and serving as the Tigers' post coach.
"We're excited to add someone with coach Whittington's experience to our staff," McFerrin said. "She brings very high level recruiting and coaching experience, including Sweet Sixteen and Elite Eight experience. She also brings our staff some extensive contacts on the East Coast and in the upper Midwest, both important recruiting areas for us."
Whittington has spent the past three seasons as an assistant coach at the University of Oregon, where she has coached the post players and served as the Ducks' recruiting coordinator, helping Oregon land nationally-ranked recruiting classes, including a top-50 ranked class by ESPN Hoopgurlz in 2011. As a post coach, Whittington has coached three student-athletes to Pac-10 all-conference honors.
"With the addition of coach Whittington, we add someone who can not only develop post players, but we also add someone who has dedicated her life to coaching the game of women's basketball," McFerrin said.
Prior to joining the Ducks in April of 2009, Whittington served as an assistant coach at Marist (2007-09), where she helped guide the Red Foxes to back-to-back NCAA tournaments. In her time at Marist, the Red Foxes posted a mark of 61-7 over two seasons, winning two Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference (MAAC) regular season and tournament championships. Posting an undefeated MAAC regular season mark of 18-0 in 2008, Marist made a splash on the national scene, eventually finishing the season with a mark of 32-3 and finishing the season ranked No. 23 in the ESPN/USA Today Coaches poll. Similar to her experience with the Ducks, Whittington assisted in recruiting, helping land a top-50 ranked class in 2008, the program's first-ever nationally-ranked recruiting class.
Whittington spent the six seasons prior to her time at Marist as an assistant coach at Penn State University (2001-07). At Penn State, she was in charge of recruiting, signing the 22nd ranked recruiting class in 2007 and the No. 34 ranked player in the nation. During her stint with Penn State, the Nittany Lions made four consecutive trips to the NCAA, won two Big Ten Conference championships (2003 & 2004), and made two Sweet Sixteen (2002 & 2003) and one Elite Eight (2004) appearances.
No stranger to the South, Whittington also spent the 2000-2001 season as an assistant coach at South Alabama, serving as the Jaguars recruiting coordinator. That year, the team won its first-ever Sun Belt Conference Tournament game and tied its highest win total in 10 years.
Similar to McFerrin, Whittington has multiple stops in the Big 10 on her resume. From 1995-2000, she served as an assistant coach at Indiana, again serving as a recruiting coordinator. With the Hoosiers, she also served as an assistant coach on the Big Ten All-Star Tour in 1997, traveling to Austria, Slovakia and the Czech Republic.
Whittington got her first full time coaching job at Rhode Island (1993-95). She worked her way up to the top assistant spot there and also served as the recruiting coordinator during the 1995 season.
Her first collegiate coaching job was as a graduate assistant at Delaware, where she coached from 1991-1993. That collegiate job followed a stint as the assistant varsity girls' coach at McDonogh #35 High School in New Orleans.
A Louisiana native, Whittington is a 1989 graduate of Dillard University in New Orleans, where she earned a degree in Health & Physical Education. She then went on to receive her M.A. in Physical Education from Delaware in 1993.
Whittington also brings a wealth of community involvement with her to the Tigers. She organized a supply relief drive consisting of non-perishable food items, water and toys that was sent to St. Bernard Parish in Chalmette, La., following Hurricane Katrina.

Si Woo Kim has been added to the published field of this week's RBC Canadian Open.
Si Woo Kim makes his first trip to The Old White TPC for The Greenbrier Classic.
Si Woo Kim spun a 5-under-par 32-33-65 in the opening round of the Mid-Atlantic Championship and shares the lead with Tim Petrovic.
Si Woo Kim shot a 4-over-par 36-39=75 at the open qualifier of this week's Tampa Bay Championship at Fox Hollow Golf Club in New Port Richey, Fla., eight strokes too high to join the playoff for the final two spots into the tournament proper.

The Elizabeth Karmel's Grill Friends Silicone-Coated Burger Press is the first press made with a thumbprint indention to assure even cooking and eliminate burgers that tend to round-out while they cook. Makes a burger that is four inches in diameter and 3/4" deep/thick. As the meat is pressed into a perfect round patty, a bump in the pusher plate makes a small thumbprint in the middle of the patty.
The thumbprint is a little-known restaurant technique; the chef makes the patties and puts an indentation in the middle of the burger with his finger. As the burger cooks and the meat fibers expand, the hole is filled in and you have a perfectly flat, even burger, explains Grill Friends creator Elizabeth Karmel. This is a tip that I have been teaching in my grilling classes for years and it is one of the tips that my students remember and thank me for again and again.

This Citi Executive AAdvantage MasterCard link is showing a sign-up bonus of 100,000 American Airlines miles after you spend $10,000 within the first 3 months of opening. There is also a $200 statement credit (earn $1 in statement credits for each $1 spent on purchases within the first 12 months.) There is a hefty $450 annual fee that cannot be waived, so you should be sure that you can get proper value out of those miles. In addition, the primary benefit of this card over lesser AA cards is that you get access to their airport lounges (Admirals Clubs).
The offer appears targeted, but the agent code is not required and people have gotten approved for the card. That doesn't necessarily mean you won't have some trouble getting the 100k bonus, so I would take screenshots or save all application pages to PDF format along the way.

Question about Painter 9 and 7...
I've used Painter 7 for several years now, and taken shots at the later versions but I've always been partial to 7. Recently I got a Mac required by my school that came with 9 for free... actually, my question was if anyone uses the tool called 'brushy' on 7, and if there is an equivalent on 9. It's my favorite tool, and I haven't been able to find anything like it on 9... which was kind of disappointing. I know I can try to create it, but I don't have much experience with that and I figured I'd see if you guys know about something I don't before I try to make my own.
Muchos gracias in advance.

I'm not sure if this is the exact same brush but on the Painter 9 CD in folder: Extras/Painter 5 Brushes/Brushes/. There is a brush called "Brushy".
Copy the entire Painter 5 Brushes folder to Brushes folder at the root of the Painter 9 installation folder. I've got the PC version so the instructions may be different.
Good luck.

NOTE: After typing this post, I read rogfa's suggestion and though you could do that (as long as you have the Painter IX CD which you may not depending on your Painter IX version), it's not necessary to copy the entire Painter 5 brush library to Painter IX if all you want is one brush variant (or even a few brush variants).
Since you have Painter 7, you're in luck because you not only have the Brushy variant, it's an XML brush variant file and it can also be used in Painter 8 and Painter IX (IX 9.1 and IX.5).
Installed with Painter 7 are the brush library folders:
- Ver4
- Ver5
- Ver6
These are the default brush libraries for Painter 4, Painter 5, and Painter 6.
The Brushy variant is found in two of these brush libraries, in the following locations:
Painter 7 > Brushes > Ver4 > Brush (brush category folder)
Painter 7 > Brushes > Ver5 > Brush (brush category folder)
The Brushy variant is a Captured Dab brush variant which means the brush dab is based on an image so you'll need to copy both of these files:
- Brushy.jpg (the Captured Dab image file)
- Brushy.xml (the brush variant file)
Now go to the following Painter IX application program folder and paste the two copied files:
Corel > Corel Painter IX > Brushes > Painter Brushes > Oils (brush category folder)
You could paste them into another brush category folder but this will work, so try the Oils brush category first since you're new to Painter IX.
Good luck!
Please do not PM me with Painter questions. Instead, post them here where everyone can benefit from them. Thanks!

Medical Devices
Medtronic Inc. SynchroMed EL Implantable, Infusion Pump
Class 1 Recall
Date Recall
|August 3, 2007
Medtronic Inc. SynchroMed El Implantable, Infusion Pump Models 8626-10, 8626L-10, 8626-18, 8626L-18, 8627-10, 8627L-10, 8627-18, and 8627L-18.
The implantable Medtronic SynchroMed EL Programmable Pump is part of the SynchroMed EL Infusion System. The implantable components of the SynchroMed EL Infusion System include the pump with or without a side catheter access port, catheters, and catheter accessories.
SynchroMed El pumps with motors manufactured before September 1999 are affected.
This device administers drugs to a specific site in the body to treat pain, spasticity (continuous muscle contraction), and cancer. The pump is implanted in the patient, either with or without a side catheter access port, catheters, and catheter accessories.
Recalling Firm:
Medtronic Neuromodulation
Reason for Recall:
There is a potential pump motor stall issue that affects SynchroMed EL infusion pumps with motors that were manufactured before September 1999. These pumps can stall at a higher rate due to gear shaft wear. If a pump motor stalls, drug delivery will stop suddenly and without warning. This stoppage will result in loss of therapy, return of the patient's symptoms, and/or symptoms of drug underinfusion or withdrawal. Drug withdrawal from Intrathecal Baclofen (ITB) therapy (in the patient's spine) can cause death if not treated immediately and effectively.
Public Contact:
Consumers with questions may contact Medtronic Neuromodulation Patient Services at 1-800-510-6735.
Customers with technical questions may contact Medtronic Neuromodulation Technical Services at 1-800-707-0933.

FDA Comments:
Beginning on August 3, 2007, Medtronic Inc. notified their customers with a letter entitled, "Urgent: Medical Device Correction, Aug. 2007." This letter described the problem and the affected devices as well as Patient Risk, Patient Management Recommendations, Next Steps and Physician and Patient Support.
Class 1 recalls are the most serious type of recall and involve situations in which there is a reasonable probability that use of the product will cause serious injury or death.
Health care professionals and consumers may report adverse reactions or quality problems experienced with the use of this product to the FDA's MedWatch Adverse Event Reporting program. See nearby link to MedWatch.

A boutique design practice based in Austin, Texas, GREER is an interior design studio focused on creating timeless residences. GREER's signature is an architectural and holistic approach to design, where every detail is meticulously executed, the result being stunning rooms and spaces. Their residential work represents a range of client aesthetics and tastes; what they all share is a timeless and classic simplicity.
Since opening Greer Interior Design, Jennifer Greer Hartmann has collaborated closely with her clients to achieve a unique balance of classically modern interiors. Versatile with many different styles and aspects of both classic and modern design, she strongly believes that interiors should reflect the surrounding architecture and more importantly, the people living in them.
Jennifer has been a designer for over fifteen years and obtained her degree in Interior Design at The School of Visual Arts in New York City, where she was influenced by the culturally rich environment of urban living. She focused on learning much about architecture, the arts, and antiques before moving to Chicago to work with the highly respected design team of Gary Lee Partners, where she served as an associate senior designer and project manager in their Residential Studio.
GREER has been commisioned to design many different types of residences: from more formal condominiums, to classic Austin houses and casual lakefront homes. Frequently working with their clients on multiple residences, they enjoy partnering and collaborating with other design professionals and disciplines to meet the needs of various projects. GREER is known for their comprehensive and holistic approach to design, but they also believe that adherence to budget and schedule are as valued as design in measuring a project's success.
Lindsay Granfield Maki believes that designing someone's home is a unique and personal process. She is known for both the quality of her work and the very highest standards of professional integrity and service. She and Jennifer have collaborated professionally for over eight years.
Lindsay's work is best characterized by the nature of her process rather than a particular architectural style. While her client's needs and preferences frame the entire project, the project is approached with her philosophy that the best architecture is designed from with-in, resulting in an aesthetic that is warm, intimate, classically proportioned, well- detailed and with a materiality that is inspired by each project's unique nature, site, and context.
Lindsay has been practicing Architecture and Interiors for over ten years and received her Bachelor's and Master's of Architecture from Tulane University in New Orleans. Following years of practice in Washington DC, she moved to Chicago and joined the award-winning firms of Searl and Associates and Gary Lee Partners. As an Associate and director, she led the design and execution of both residential and boutique corporate projects. Lindsay's on-going relationship and commission's with the Austonian's development team are a good testament to her service and design, as well as her range of experience in both commercial and residential work.
Lindsay is very passionate and proud of her philanthropic work. While in Chicago, she founded the not-for profit, Civic Blueprint. In addition to her private commissions, she is currently the acting director of Designs for Dignity in San Francisco.
Andrew Gath possesses a raw talent for inventing energetic and compelling interiors. He is dedicated to actualizing both a functional solution, and a beautiful design, remembering that artful interiors and the client's personality go hand in hand. Consequently, Andrew is skilled and experienced at creating residential interiors that are a striking expression of the owner.
Upon receiving his Bachelor's Degree from the prestigious Harrington Institute of Interior Design in Chicago he joined the team at Gary Lee Partners as a Designer and Project Manager in their Chicago and New York offices. Andrew was also part of the team that designed and launched their debut furniture line VENU (now Chai Ming Studios). Since leaving the firm he then worked and consulted for various high profile firms in New York until recently relocating to Austin.
Clients appreciate Andrew's forthright pragmatism. His candor and allegiance to those he works with have made him an important asset to Greer. As part of the team, Andrew is highly knowledgeable in the discovery and recommendation of beautiful yet cutting edge finishes, furniture, and design. From restaurants and hotels, corporate offices to private residences, Andrew enthusiastically brings a classic, yet eclectic and practical approach to each and every project.

Howard Dean on getting young people to vote
Mitch E. Perry
WMNF Drive-Time News Wednesday | Listen to this entire show:
Howard Dean, the former Vermont governor and presidential candidate, became chairman of the Democratic National Committee in February 2005.
Shortly after he took over, he pledged to bring reform to the Party. Rather than focusing just on "swing states," Dean proposed what has come to be known as the 50-State Strategy. The goal, he says, is for the Democratic Party to be committed to winning elections at every level in every region of the country, with Democrats organized in every single voting precinct in the country.
State party chairs have lauded Dean for raising money directly for the individual state parties.
But others disagreed.
As Democrats vied to win back the Congress last year, several other party heavyweights went public with their criticism of Dean, saying he was wasting valuable resources that would be better targeted at key congressional districts.
But the Democrats did end up winning the House and Senate last year. And Dean says his efforts should really pay dividends next year.
Dean addressed the convention filled with liberal bloggers called Yearly Kos last week. Here are excerpts from his speech regarding bringing in more young people to vote.comments powered by Disqus
