After a brief stint at New York University, Biggs scored his breakthrough role in 1999 with "American Pie," the teen flick that became an international, sequel-making sensation. Recently, Biggs, now 32, appeared in the comedies "My Best Friend's Girl" and "Over Her Dead Body."
Before she became America's sweetheart in films like "When Harry Met Sally," "Sleepless in Seattle" and "You've Got Mail," Meg Ryan played Betsy Stewart on "As the World Turns" from 1982 to 1984.
Her pairing with Frank Runyeon's character Steve made them one of the most popular couples on television in the 80s. Their "wedding" on May 30, 1984, attracted 20 million viewers, making it the second highest-rated hour in American soap opera history.
Ryan left the show for smaller TV and film roles, including the wife of "Goose" in "Top Gun." Her first real hit didn't come until the end of the 80s when she starred opposite Billy Crystal in "When Harry Met Sally." She earned a Golden Globe nomination for that role which included the memorable fake orgasm scene in a Manhattan deli.
It's hard to believe that the actor known for his basso voice, most notably as Darth Vader in the "Star Wars" films, once stuttered so badly he refused to speak. But in high school, a teacher coaxed him to read poetry aloud and James Earl Jones' interest in performing bloomed.
He took roles in television to augment his theater work and became the first black man to have a continuing role on a daytime serial when he portrayed Dr. Jerry Turner on "As the World Turns" in 1966 and later, as Dr. Jim Frazier on "The Guiding Light."
Before he got footloose, actor Kevin Bacon played the teenage alcoholic Tim "T.J." Werner on "Guiding Light" from 1980 to 1981. Bacon also starred as Tom Adamson on the soap opera "Search for Tomorrow" in 1979. His first big screen break came as Timothy Fenwick Jr. in the 1982 film "Diner," where he co-starred alongside Steve Guttenberg, Daniel Stern, Mickey Rourke, Tim Daly and Ellen Barkin. The buzz he stirred as Fenwick led to one of Bacon's biggest roles to date, as the foot-frenzied Ren McCormack in the 1985 hit film "Footloose."
Before she made a name for herself as the quirky Ally McBeal in 1997, Calista Flockhart had a minor role in 1989 as the babysitter for one of "Guiding Light's" most memorable characters, the diva Reva Shayne Lewis (Kim Zimmer). Flockhart went on to win a Golden Globe for her role on "Ally McBeal" in 1998.
She currently stars as communications director Kitty Walker on the ABC show "Brothers and Sisters," and is married to actor Harrison Ford.
He currently plays the slick-mouthed Jack Donaghy on the TV show "30 Rock," but Alec Baldwin's acting career had more humble beginnings. His first role was as Billy Allison Aldrich on the soap opera "The Doctors" from 1980-1982. The Emmy-winning show took place in the fictional Hope Memorial Hospital, and focused on a hospital team and the medical emergencies they faced.
Baldwin got his big break on the nighttime soap opera "Knots Landing," as the lunatic preacher Joshua Rush from 1984-1985. The show focused on five married couples living in the fictional town of Knots Landing. Rush returned to his mother Lilimae, played by Julie Harris, who abandoned him as a baby. He attempted to kill his wife Cathy, played by Lisa Hartman, but in the process ended up killing himself.

As part of his aggressive business agenda, Governor Pat Quinn today signed legislation that will make it easier to open and expand a business in Illinois. House Bill 1297 will help employers create more jobs by streamlining the environmental permitting process in Illinois, establish a plan for long-term funding, and make the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency (IEPA) more efficient.
"Simplifying and speeding up the review process for environmental permits will help Illinois companies begin hiring, investing and producing more quickly," said Governor Quinn. "This law is a great example of my administration's commitment to reducing the burden on Illinois' businesses -- both large and small -- so they can grow and create more jobs."
Like the recent worker's compensation reform law, HB 1297 was pushed by Governor Quinn to strengthen Illinois' business climate. Sponsored by former Rep. Dan Reitz (D-Steeleville) and Sen. James F. Clayborne, Jr. (D-East St. Louis), House Bill 1297 requires the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency (IEPA) to speed up and streamline the permitting process.
Under the new law, IEPA will begin to use more efficient techniques such as online permitting, processing and tracking to make the permitting process easier to navigate for businesses. The new law also allows for expedited permitting, general permitting and permitting by rule for certain classes of facilities.
"These changes will improve the agency's operations and make it more efficient, while ensuring that environmental standards are never compromised," said IEPA Interim Director Lisa Bonnett.
"For too long, Illinois' environmental regulatory process has hindered economic development and made it more difficult for businesses to compete," said Greg Baise, president and CEO of the Illinois Manufacturers' Association. "We applaud Governor Quinn's support of this new law that modernizes and streamlines the process, allowing businesses to save time and money. It balances environmental and economic interests."
In addition to making the permitting process easier for businesses, the new law also creates an online portal to assist with the permitting process. As a result, companies can begin production and other projects more quickly. The new law also allows the IEPA to create a new, logical funding source based on revenue from products used to lower emissions. By establishing a Registration of Smaller Sources (ROSS) program for smaller entities, a significant number of low-polluting small businesses will be able to register with the agency instead of obtaining a more extensive air permit. This will reduce the burden on small businesses by lowering the fee for emissions, eliminating the need to hire permit consultants and speeding up the approval process.

Offshore Drilling Debate - Albuquerque, NM
Do you support continued offshore drilling?
#107 Aug 7, 2011
We need to develop nuclear energy and the method of safely disposing of the spent fuel. It could supply almost all of our electrical needs while petroleum (and natural gas) would be used for transportation and other products, i.e., plastics. Using fuels where they are most productive is going to be a necessity in the future.

To drill or not should be decided by those that suffer and benefit the most - the residents of the state whose off-shore waters are being drilled. Floridians have decided they don't want drilling while Louisianians support it. Let each state decide.
I'm with Bruno, more nuke plants. Best to use breeder reactors (like the French use) which have very little waste byproducts. Sticking to a smaller, standardized design would cut costs and reduce risks plus allow more integration with existing facilities.

The problem with that scenario is there is no feasible means of keeping any spillage from getting to another bordering state that does not allow drilling. The Ocean does what it does in spite of our laws and rules. However...

We have so much oil that we could almost be self sufficient. If not self sufficient, it would definately bring the cost of energy down. The gasoline side of the equation may still be high due to limited production plants within the US. Result of high costs and stiff liberal regs to build them.
We have untapped reservoirs (in shallow waters) on the east and west coast that will never be exploited again due to liberal thinking and harsh regulations.
Yet countries like Brazil drills ultra deep off their coastlines for oil using cutting edge technology just off the white sandy prias (beaches) that bring them plenty of touristas and dinero that they thrive on.
#114 Aug 8, 2011
Would not bring the cost of energy down even IF we were fully self-sufficient. Would likely bring down the cost of gasoline and other refined fuels but the basic commodity - oil - is a globally priced resource. If the world market dictates $200 dollar per barrel you think oil companies are going to cut Americans a special price deal. No, its about profit and making money thus the product follows the higher price.
Has little to do with "liberals". Ask Florida business owners who make their living off tourism what they think about drilling off the coast.
Brazil is not America. Poor countries have little concern for environmental issues until they become wealthier. Want to see a quick change of opinion, let oil wash a shore at Ipanema. I see Brazil is already caught up in a storm about how to divide the royalties up. Lulu wanted to equal sharing amongst the states; but looks like only a few coastal states will win. What's good for Brazil is good for America as that's where the oil will end up. Mexico oil exports are declining so Brazil provides a new source.

It would be nice if we did for ourselves for a change by using some of our own resources - oil in this case. Just as the government advocates them as the "storehouse" with entitlement and other social programs designed to make us dependent upon them, they tend to do the same with other countries for oil. That being making oil dependent upon someone else instead of ourselves.
A global economy is fine, as is worldwide trading and barter, but this is getting ridiculous. The rainy day for tapping our own oil reserves has arrived.
#116 Aug 8, 2011
America does NOT have sufficient oil reserves to supply our needs. We supply half now. We have to get 9 million barrels a day from abroad.
Funny how people think "others" have no right nor say in where oil comes from. Its blame the govt simply because they don't like the guy in power. If "their" guy is in power, then there's validity. I think I have a voice in how NM resources are used. I'm a resident of this state thus should have an opinion which I pass on to those who seek favor when they run for elected positions. The same applies to other states. People in Florida don't want oil wells - but its Obama's fault. Uh, isn't Florida a RED state.
I love all this "govt wants to control us" nonsense. Have been hearing that crap for many years. Really, they give me money and I move to Mexico. How can they control me? Can't take away the money, would cause rioting plus would result in removal from power.
#117 Aug 8, 2011
The US is still the biggest consumer of crude oil and gasoline. If we became only 50% sufficient, this would lead to lower prices worldwide. Simple supply and demand. Of course over time the price will still rise because China, India and others are steadily climbing.
The problem with gasoline is that there are not enough refineries to keep up with demand. Most refineries are running at 100% capacity and not one has been built in over 20 years due to environmentalists, poor economy, and the sheer cost of building one.
#118 Aug 8, 2011
Oh, and Brazil is not a third world country. Far from it. It is however a developing country that needs to clean up its corrupt government and police force before it falls into a Mexico like state.
#119 Aug 8, 2011
Brazil is a developing nation, yes but also third world. Its made great strides under Lulu but its still has a long way to go. Mexico is a developing country too. I've driven deep into the interior three times in the last 10 years and its third world in many, many areas. Yeah, its better to be called "developing" but look behind the fence and its "third" world.
Refineries are a problem but its more than environmental issues. They are extremely expensive to build thus capital is an issue. There is also NIMBY attitude of many that are close to populated areas. US refineries still refine over 17 million barrels a day. US still has to import refined products though.
US does supply half its own oil. Over 9M barrels daily come from US sources. Another 9M must be imported. Fortunately Canada and Mexico supply much of our imports.
#120 Aug 8, 2011
Brazil is NOT a third world country although favelas are prevalent. And Lula (not Lulu) is no longer the president yet his predecessor was from his cabinet.
It is a very nice place to live actually and I plan to move back because of two things: a booming economy there and my wife would rather live there than here. Cost of living overall is slightly higher. But they have better medical and a better work regimen IE vacation, sickleave holidays.
I have worked in Villahermosa, Comacalco, Paraiso and other parts of Tabasco for Pemex and I have to agree with you that Mexico IS a third world country.

Years ago I worked for a company that searched for new oil reserviors.I want to correct your statement as it is a little mis-leading. The truth is.... There is plenty of oil to be self - sufficient for generations. The issue is the liberal agenda and the act of refining it. We can drill all we want, but we have a big bottle neck with refining (haven't built one since the 70s). Get rid of the liberals, build a few more refinaries, spend the next 50 years developing a better alternative and we are good to go.
#123 Aug 9, 2011
I dont really see where my statement was misleading. I thought I covered why refineries aren't being built today which I explained in more detail in posts thereafter. I mentioned stiff regs (due to liberal politicians and environmentalists), poor economy and the sheer cost to build them. Digressing, I will say that there are valid environmental concerns with these mammoth plants.
So did you work as a wildcat or do seismic logging? which company?

We will only develop this new source once the prices at the oil pumps stop us from using this source of energy. Save it for important things like plastic plates and forks.

About Shooters Shorthairs
We (Pete & Lisa / Shooter's Shorthairs) decided that as soon as we were married, one of the first things we were going to do was to purchase a dog. The breed wasn't decided at that time so the search was on. We read books, talked to people and did a lot of research to decide what type of dog was right for us; we decided on getting a German Shorthaired Pointer. Little did we know how important that decision was for us, and it was probably one of the best things we have ever done.
That was back in 1989 and since then we have owned, bred, shown and hunted over some outstanding shorthairs. Our dogs are not a commodity; they are our companions that give their all….all the time. When we breed a litter we research pedigrees, performance ability and temperament to come up with the best match possible to produce dogs that will exceed our expectations of an exceptional companion in the home and dependable partners in the field (or woods). We have high standards for our dogs but by being selective in our choices, we have been successful and consistent in our breeding program.

Submitted by: Janet Hawkins on Jan 19, 2013If I could vote a "10" that would be my choice. Pete and Lisa were the breeders that produced my greatest birthday present ever; Tia, in 1995. "Shooters Made for Scimitar" I cry as I write this, as Tia crossed over the Rainbow Bridge 1 week after her 15th birthday, December 2010. That was the first time she ever listened to me; I made her promise me that we would share her birthday. I want to credit Lisa And Pete (and Pearl) with bringing the most cherished little lady into my life. Tia was so special to m that I could never think of replacing her. Her remains are on my work desk. Thank you Lisa and Pete for my Tia-Taliesha-Marie Osman-Hawkins!
Submitted by: Janet Hawkins on Jan 19, 2013Owe, I forgot the most important part for the hunting and show folks: Tia got her championship title at the age of 2! JH title around the age of 4. She could work a bird field all day if Mick would let her. She always out hunted our Gordons, she was super-scented on pheasant and woodcock!
Submitted by: Jaime Rae Turnbull on May 13, 2007We are the proud owners of a 5 year old female named Shug or Shuggie. Shug has been an outstanding member of our family and has been an amazing pet for our 3 year old daughter. Shug is retired from hunting and lives happily in Clarkston. Thank you to Pete and Lisa!
Submitted by: Tim Lintz on Dec 11, 2006I have a 4 year old male out of one of Pete and Lisa's male "Woody". I have seen all of Pete and Lisa's dogs and have been privileged to hunt behind some. I have watched their dogs train and work birds for several years. They breed first class gun dogs. However, first and foremost these dogs are family. They excell in both field and water work and are a joy to be around. Some of their dogs have vistied our home and were exceptionally well behaved. Pete and Lisa have a passion for raising great looking dogs which can do it all. You will not be dissapointed with one of these dogs.

Awardee Project Reports / June 25, 2015
Project: An Assessment of Health Information Needs of Critical Access Hospitals in Pennsylvania and New York
Awardee: Madhu Reddy, The Pennsylvania State University, College of Information Sciences and Technology, University Park, PA
Description: While health information technology (HIT) has the potential to improve access to information, reduce medical errors, lower costs, and improve patient care, many hospitals---especially Critical Access Hospitals (CAHs) ---cannot afford the costs associated with infrastructure development and maintenance. Consequently, more needs to be learned about the health information needs of clinicians working at CAHs. In this project, an online assessment of 24 CAHs in Pennsylvania and New York will be made to ascertain their HIT and health information needs. Project:
Project: Waiting Room Education
Awardee: Kristine N. Voos, Genesee County Health Department, Batavia, NY
Description: The Genesee County Health Department (DOH) will encourage access to high quality health information by allowing county residents to interactively explore websites supported by the National Network of Libraries of Medicine (NN/LM) through the use of computer tablets that will be available in the clinic waiting room area during public clinics and during several outreach opportunities. Promotion for the use of NN/LM-supported websites will occur at clinics, advertisements will be disbursed in Genesee County, through the use of the Time Warner Cable's community calendar, Genesee County Health Department's Facebook page, newspaper ads, flyers, and posters.
Project: iPad Technology: Targeted Evolution of Embedded Librarian Services
Awardee: Deborah Chiarella and Elizabeth Stellrecht, University at Buffalo Health Sciences Library, Buffalo, NY
Description: The University at Buffalo Health Sciences Library (UBHSL) provides reference and instructional services to support the research, curricular and clinical programs of the Schools of Dental Medicine, Medicine and Biomedical Sciences, Nursing, Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences, and Public Health and Health Professions as well as support for the New York State Center of Excellence in Bioinformatics and Life Sciences. The UBHSL will purchase seven iPads, two portable projectors and accompanying accessories to develop embedded research and promote educational services through the use of NLM products such as PubMed, MedlinePlus and other NCBI tools. The iPads will be used by the six library liaisons to provide point of care information in the clinical setting, embedded reference hours in academic and clinical departments, and off campus instruction. The seventh iPad will be used by the UBHSL information technology support personnel to provide technical information and support to the instructional team. By leveraging the portability and power of iPads in combination with the evidence based practice expertise of UBHSL liaisons, this project will allow the UBHSL to reach more students and faculty at the point of their educational need and provide them with instruction in quality information resources such as PubMed which will continue to meet their information needs upon graduation and continuation in their profession. Funding will allow us to effectively transform evidence based practice and information literacy education, and consequently meet our overarching goal--to educate and produce a healthcare workforce equipped to discover, evaluate and synthesize health information.

I recently received an email from David, who has some questions about depth of field:
As you have a lot of experience of using the Fuji X-E1, may I please ask you for some advice regarding landscape focusing.
My aim is to use the 18-55mm kit lens with the majority of shots taken at the widest end. I have in mind setting the lens at Hyperfocal distances, based on a crop factor of 1.5 and a circle of confusion of 0.02. I think the first figure is reliable, but I'm not sure about the second in relation to the X-E1 – perhaps you could confirm.
I have already done some testing at home using the attached table (which come from the well respected DOFmaster site).
In my experiment I carefully measured distances at apertures of f8 and f11 using a tripod and a printed card as the subject. I set the lens manually at the hyperfocal distance, using the EVF distance scale. I was disappointed to find that the closest point of focus was not as sharp as I had hoped. Have you any idea why this may be?
I did a further test on aperture f11 and this time set the distance scale at 4 feet (2/3 of the way between 3 and 5 feet). This resulted in a sharp image from 3.5 feet. This would suggest that the distance scale is not accurate.
Any suggestions you have to overcome the problem would be much appreciated.
Let me preface my response on the depth of field (DOF) issue by congratulating you for taking the time to conduct your own experiments. One of the great things about digital cameras is that we don't have to trust what we read — we can easily and quickly conduct the experiments ourselves. In addition to getting the answer to the question at hand, we end up knowing our gear at a much deeper and even intuitive level, which is extremely important when we are in the field and we don't have time to ponder and calculate, but must instead make a photograph in the moment.
The rest of this post is going to be somewhat involved, so let me share a quick thought right at the beginning:
The usefulness of DOF calculators is very limited, as they are based on subjective assumptions that may not match what you are doing with your photographs. The best way to align your expectations with exposure choices is to test them yourself and evaluate images in the form that you most often produce — and not just at 100% magnification on a computer screen.
What is DOF? Essentially the depth of field is the distance range in front of and behind (unless you focus at infinity) the focus point within which subjects are likely to sharp enough to seem in focus when the photograph is viewed at some arbitrary magnification. This size of this range increases as we stop down (for example, going from f/2.8 to f/8 expands the DOF) and decreases as we open the aperture (going from f/8 to f/2.8 contracts DOF). This is a source of creative control for the photographer. A smaller aperture can allow subjects across a greater distance range to appear relatively sharp, while a larger aperture can keep the primary subject in focus while pleasingly "un-focusing" elements in front of and behind the primary focus point.

The Hidden Immunity Idol
Trivia, Quotes, Notes and Allusions
Quotes (10)
Jamie: We just gotta stand here with a pot on our head. You're a pot head!
Rafe: I've kind of had this really sad realization - am I a member of the Axis of Evil?
Stephenie: An Immunity Idol, that's cool and all, but we're like, starving.
Rafe: I'm searching for the Immunity Idol, and I reach up and put my hand in a hornet's nest. That is a signal from the Mayan gods that I am not meant to find this idol.
Judd: I gotta take a leak. Maybe I'll take a leak all over the idol.
Brandon: (About the hidden idol search) This is gonna be like lookin' for a needle in a haystack.
Bobby Jon: It's really tough for me to walk here tonight, because I can't be around Stephenie for more than five minutes, and I can't be around Jamie for more than five minutes, because I'll knock him out.
Rafe: Bashing people when they are not around to bring group unity is not a nice way to play this game.
Notes (4)
The two tribes merge into one, Xhákúm, in this episode. The players now compete individually and will always wear red buffs.
Upon merging, the survivors receive tree mail announcing that hidden in the jungle is a six inch immunity idol. Whoever finds the idol may use it to save himself from being voted out of the tribe. Whoever finds the idol may choose to keep their find a secret until they decide to use it. The catch - the power expires when it comes down to the final four, and it must be revealed before the vote. No one finds the hidden idol in this episode.
Gary wins the first Immunity challenge of the newly formed tribe, "Pot Head," where the participating players must balance a pot on their head for a maximum of one hour. At the end of the hour, a tie-breaker round ensues, where the five remaining survivors race to the top of the Mayan temple while balancing the pot.
Brandon is voted out of the new tribe, narrowly missing the first seat on the jury.
Trivia (2)
Unlike all other Survivor seasons, this merge is not celebrated by a grand feast. Instead, it takes place at the Immunity Challenge, where only four participate in it.
For the first time in the series, an immunity idol can be obtained by one of the players outside normal competition. They are told by Jeff Probst that an idol is hidden in the area around the camp and, once found, can be used, once only, from that night up until the Final Four competition. It goes unfound for this episode...

Glen Ridge High School 200 Ridgewood Avenue Glen Ridge, NJ 07028 June 2011 Dear English Nine Honors Student, The English department at Glen Ridge High School believes that summer reading is the best way for a student to continue the learning process, make transitions to new classes and improve standardized test scores. Therefore, we are requiring that you read two novels this summer: Life of Pi, by Yann Martel and Into the Wild, by Jon Krakauer. While reading these novels, please keep in mind any patterns, symbols or themes that you notice. We will discuss both novels in some depth and you are expected to enter class in September with a comfortable understanding of each work. To that end, we are requiring that you annotate each of these books so you have a way to process and recall your critical reading experience. See the handout for annotation instructions. I will also attach them to my website. Additionally, we encourage you to complete as much outside reading as possible, not only during the summer, but also throughout the school year. We are attaching a list of recommended reading, and we would like you to read and be responsible for at least one book from this list. Enjoy your summer! Sincerely, The English Department Glen Ridge High School English 9 Honors—Recommended Summer Reading List Cold Sassy Tree Olive Ann Burns On July 5, 1906, scandal breaks in the small town of Cold Sassy, Georgia, when the proprietor of the general store, E. Rucker Blakeslee, elopes with Miss Love Simpson. He is barely three weeks a widower, and she is only half his age and a Yankee to boot. As their marriage inspires a whirlwind of local gossip, fourteen-year-old Will Tweedy suddenly finds himself eyewitness to a family scandal, and that's where his adventures begin. Fast Food Nation Eric Schlosser On any given day, one out of four Americans opts for a quick and cheap meal at a fast-food restaurant, without giving either its speed or its thriftiness a second thought. But the industry's drive for consolidation, homogenization, and speed has radically transformed America's diet, landscape, economy, and workforce. (Nonfiction) Little Women Louisa May Alcott The four March girls -- practical Meg, rambunctious Jo, sweet Beth and childish artist Amy -- live in genteel poverty with their mother Marmee; their father is away in the Civil War. Lords of Discipline Pat Conroy Aspiring novelist and basketball player, Will McLean, finds himself a college student at the Carolina Military Institute. Will was not interested in the military, but he promises his dying father that he will attend his alma mater. The Absolutely True Story of a Part-time Indian Sherman Alexie When a teacher pleads with Arnold to want more, to escape the hopelessness of the rez, Arnold switches to a rich white school and immediately becomes as much an outcast in his own community as he is a curiosity in his new one. The Age of Innocence Edith Wharton Winner of the 1921 Pulitzer Prize, The Age of Innocence is Edith Wharton's masterful portrait of desire and betrayal during the sumptuous Golden Age of Old New York, a time when society people "dreaded scandal more than disease." The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier and Clay Michael Chabon Like the comic books that animate and inspire it, this novel is both larger than life and of it too. Complete with golems and magic and miraculous escapes and evil nemeses and even hand-to-hand Antarctic battle, it pursues the most important questions of love and war, dreams and art, across pages brimming with longing and hope The Bean Trees Barbara Kingsolver Taylor leaves home in a beat-up '55 Volkswagen bug, on her way to nowhere in particular, savoring her freedom. But when a forlorn Cherokee woman drops a baby in Taylor's passenger seat and asks her to take it, she does. The Color of Water James McBride The author, a man whose mother was white and his father black, tells two stories: that of his mother and his own. It is a wonderful story of a bi-racial family who succeeded and achieved the American dream, despite the societal obstacles placed in its way. (Nonfiction) The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy Douglas Adams Join hapless hero Arthur Dent as he travels the galaxy with his intrepid pal Ford Prefect, getting into horrible messes and generally wreaking hilarious havoc. Dent is grabbed from Earth moments before a cosmic construction team obliterates the planet to build a freeway. The Joy Luck Club Amy Tan Four daughters know one side of their mothers, but they don't know about their earlier never-spoken of lives in China. The mothers want love and obedience from their daughters, but they don't know the gifts that the daughters keep to themselves. The Mosquito Coast Paul Theroux Allie Fox is going to re-create the world. Hating the cops, crooks, junkies and scavengers of modern America, he abandons civilization and takes the family to live in the Honduran jungle. There his tortured, messianic genius keeps them alive, his hoarse tirades harrying them through a diseased and dirty Eden towards unimaginable darkness. Summer Assignment: Reading and annotating Life of Pi by Yann Martel & Into the Wild by Jon Krakauer As you read you will annotate each novel for four different elements (see below). In essence, annotations are the critical or explanatory notes that you make as you read through a text. These notes will be important to your overall understanding of the text and our class discussions. 1. Yellow annotations will be questions that arise as you are reading. Highlight a sentence or passage you would love to ask the author if he were sitting down with you to talk about the book. These questions can include but are not limited to: areas that you find confusing or troubling about the plot or character interactions, symbolism or imagery that he chose to use throughout the novel, his writing style, etc. You should have at least one example of this type of annotation per chapter. Once you have done this, write your question at the top of each chapter and include the page number where you chose your example. 2. Blue annotations will be connected to the language in the text. You can include a large variety of examples for this. Find words or phrases that you feel are important to the chapter, words that are unfamiliar to you or words that capture your interest for some other reason. You should have at least one example of this type of annotation per chapter. 3. Pink annotations will show your personal connections to the text. As you read the novel, you may find that you have a personal connection with a character, a specific event that occurs, or a general comment in the text. Highlight several passages or sentences (5 or 10 throughout the book) related to your personal connections and then document why you selected these passages on the inside front cover of the text including the page numbers where you chose your examples. This documentation can be done with a one sentence description for each annotation or a longer response that covers all of the choices. 4. Green annotations will show your understanding of major themes in the novel. Theme can be described as a unifying idea that is a recurrent element in a literary or artistic work. Understanding theme will be a critical component to our class. Highlight several passages or sentences (5 or 10 throughout the book) related to what you consider to be the important theme or themes of the novel and then document why you selected these passages on the back cover of the text including the page numbers where you chose your examples. As with your personal connections, this documentation can be done with a one sentence description for each annotation or a longer response that covers all of the choices. *For number three and four you may want to type up your response and attach it to the text. If you use a library book instead of your own copy, you will need to note everything on separate sheets of paper, one for each highlighter color.

November 12, 2012 in Nation/World
Gas company: No calls about furnace at blast site
INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — A spokeswoman for a gas company says the utility didn't receive any reports about a faulty furnace at an Indianapolis home that exploded, killing two people.
The weekend explosion damaged dozens of homes so severely officials say they must be demolished. The owner of one of the homes that exploded in Indianapolis said Monday a problem furnace could be to blame.
Sarah Holsapple of Citizens Energy says the company did not receive any calls about the furnace. But she also said that a homeowner or contractor who fixed a furnace would not necessarily report it to the gas company.
Investigators say they do not yet know what caused the explosion.

Funnily enough its mix of Kanto,Johto and Hoenn Ash for me.I liked his starting days when he was complete rookie being bratty,hotheaded and naive as hell.He made mistakes,didnt want to accept advice from Misty or Brock being always full of himself and sure in abilities just to backfire on him later.His rivalry and clashes with Gary were also always fun to watch bringing drama and tension to show.
In Johto you could tell he didnt changed much in personality department,but some small signs of starting to mature were present with Ash becoming less stubborn,more calculated and definitely more experienced as trainer compared to Kanto days using more of strategy compared to tactic"with head through wall and risk as much as you can"which was often recipe for his battles back in day.You could tell that companions moral support,tips in battles,Brock wise suggestions and motivation from Misty side with there existing friendly competitive fire between them, helped Ash to grow as trainer and person leaving mark on character.
What i liked about him in Hoenn was progressive sign of maturity character went through becoming more levelheaded,calm and self-critic wanting to learn on mistakes while keeping his bratty and funny aspect of character.He became "grown up enough"to take mentor role on someone else(in that case being May)helping her when training and preparing for contests which portrayed Ash in different yet interesting and unique light.
In Sinnoh he has matured more going forward compared to Hoenn days but i find that as positive thing.This really reflected on his skill as trainer and experience growing in worthy and respectable trainer having great relationship with Paul with their rivalry being one of most substantial and well developed story arcs this show produced.His friendship with Dawn and moral support they provided for each other along with Ash being wiling to think "outside the box" starting to mix contest techniques he saw from Dawn in his methods of training and battling strategy resulted with great success.
His steadiness being adamant about his way of training pokemon being angered and frustrated with Paul harsh and sometimes cruel methods,passionate side fighting for his beliefs with lot of care being pout in abandoned Chimchar and training which beard fruits on table evolving in formidable Infernape depicted Ash on whole new level making me to care for his growth and all loses and bad times he went through.
He was still funny ,sometimes naive and bratty which can be noticed in clashes he had with Paul and Dawn,he was still clueless and easy going about several things(like when he fell asleep on classes)causing annoyance and discredit from others(Like Angie),but he was also more collected,strategic and open minded toward new ideas evolving as character.
And i liked that about him.

Houston, TX (Sports Network) - Matt Dominguez laced his second-career grand slam to help guide the Houston Astros to a 9-7 win over the LA Angels of Anaheim in the first of three from Minute Maid Park.
Jonathan Villar and Trevor Crowe each belted three hits in the victory with Jose Altuve going 2-for-4 with a three-run homer and two runs scored. Houston plated three in the third and six in the fifth to win its fourth straight game.
Dallas Keuchel (6-10) picked up the win despite allowing six runs on 10 hits in 5 2/3 innings, and Josh Fields tossed a perfect ninth for his fifth save.
"I felt really good," Keuchel said. "We got the win and that's all that matters."
Mark Trumbo and Andrew Romine drove in two each in the losing effort as the Angels dropped a game for just the third time in their last nine tilts.
Trumbo started the scoring in the third inning with a two-RBI triple to center, his second of the season.
The Astros responded in the home half when Altuve laced a home run to right, a three-run shot off Jason Vargas (8-7) that scored L.J. Hoes and Brandon Barnes.
"That was just a changeup that was in the middle of the plate," Vargas said of the pitch to Altuve.
Iannetta led off the top of the fourth with a solo shot to left and Romine singled home Kole Calhoun for a 4-3 lead, which lasted until the bottom of the fifth when Houston put up a six-spot to put the game away.
Cody Clark, Barnes and Altuve all singled around Villar's pop bunt out before Crowe plated a pair with a single to center. Vargas then hit Brandon Laird with a pitch before giving way to Cory Rasmus, who served up a grand slam to Dominguez.
The Halos got two back a half inning later. Iannetta doubled and scored on Romine's infield single to the right side and Erick Aybar followed with a double to left-center.
Kevin Chapman walked Collin Cowgill and Romine to begin the eighth and was lifted in favor of Josh Zeid, who was struck with an Aybar line drive but stayed in the game with the bases now loaded. Howie Kendrick popped to short right field for the first out but Mike Trout drew a walk for a 9-7 score. Zeid got out of trouble when Trumbo grounded into a double play.
Trumbo now has 95 RBI, matching his career-best from 2012 ... Trout walked
three times, extending his major league leading total to 97 ... Vargas was
reached for eight runs on nine hits in 4 1/3 innings ... Clark's single was
his first major league hit after beginning his career 0-for-25.
Former Heisman Trophy winners Matt Leinart, Eric Crouch and Rashaan Salaam are among 76 Football Bowl Subdivision players on the ballot for election into the 2016 class of the College Football Hall of Fame.
The regular season in the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series has reached its midpoint, with 13 races completed and 13 to go before the championship Chase begins.
The Houston Texans have signed defensive lineman Brandon Deaderick, who played last season with the New Orleans Saints.
The Toronto Blue Jays activated catcher Dioner Navarro from the 15-day disabled list following a 2-0 loss to the Washington Nationals in the opener of Tuesday's doubleheader.
Sacramento Kings forward Carl Landry underwent surgery on Tuesday to repair a torn ligament in his right wrist, the team said.
The Montreal Canadiens revealed on Tuesday that defenseman Jeff Petry has agreed to terms on a six-year contract extension.

Pokemon Pink: Kanto, Episode 6
"Look at my badge! I got a badge and you didn't!" Zac bragged, holding his newly obtained Cascade Badge in Angel's face.
"Bitch please, there are more gyms, therefore more badges. The only reason you won was because of Pikachu." Angel hissed back as they walked over Nugget Bridge.
"Why are we going on this bridge?" Zac asked.
"Because, you idiot, Blaze and Dom went up here to look for you. And you would want to come here anyway, because Bill lives in that light house." Angel informed as she pointed at the large tower up the cliff.
"You mean that scientist my uncle works with?" Angel nodded. "I'm kinda hungry. Do you have any snacks in your backpack?"
"No, and by the way, THUNDERBOLT!" Angel screamed, scaring Pikachu to actually use the move, electrocuting Zac.
"You bitch!"
Zac had just beaten Misty after Angel lost.
"You're going to rub that in my face, aren't you?" She asked.
"Maybe. All depends on how you treat me." Zac answered, rubbing an imaginary handlebar mustache.
Pokemon Pink: Kanto, Episode 5
"ZAC! WAKE UP!" Blaze yelled before Angel started to shake Zac by the shoulders, violently.
"WAKE UP, WAKE UP, WAKE UP! GET THE FUCK UP, YOU LAZY SACK OF SHIT!" Angel screamed.
"Jesus, Angel. We wanna wake him up, not make him go deaf. Oh he's waking up!" Zac's eyes fluttered open to show him looking at the group, cross-eyed.
"Listen, Zac. This guy that woke us up said he saw you roll down this hill and hit your on that metal spike." Blaze informed as Zac started to drool a little, before standing up.
"Right, I think he has a little brain damage. Zac, say 'apple'." Angel demanded.
"Okay... now sit down."
Zac jumped in place.
"Ugh... Say 'banana'."
Angel grunted and turned to face the group. "Yeah, he needs medical attention. Come on Zac, Cerulean City has a hospital."
After about 20 minutes of walking, the group finally arrived in front of the hospital. They went in one by one and headed to the front desk.
"Excuse me?" Angel asked as a nurse joy came around the corne
Pokemon Pink: Kanto, Episode 4
"Shut up!"
"No, you shut up!"
"You're the one that insulted my Pokedex!"
"Will you both shut up?" Blaze asked, fed up with Dom and Angel's fighting. "Zac is going to be pissed when he finds us."
"So?" Dom asked.
"You don't want to see Zac mad... he's the nicest living thing when he's happy but, when he is mad..." Angel shivered before finishing, "... He is the definition of fear..."
"Oh he can't be that bad... I've lived in Harem Town for 3 years and haven't seen anything even remotely terrifying come from him." Dom said, still unconvinced.
"Well we saw him get angry at the person that lived in your house before you and it wasn't pretty." Blaze warned.
"Tell me the full story."
"Well, one day, the guy was stupid enough to steal a certain pokeball from him. We were outside when we saw Zac burst out of his house, with an aura of anger surrounding him. Then... he broke into the guy's house..." Blaze shivered, unable to tell the rest so Angel took over.
"We heard screams and after a few mi
Pokemon Pink: Kanto, Episode 3
"OH MY GOOOOOD!" Zac screamed as a Pikachu wandered onto the path. They had been in Viridian Forest for about ten minutes, seeing nothing but Caterpie and Weedle. "Come here little guy..."
Zac lured the mouse over with his pokefood and let the Pikachu eat out of his hand. He quickly took out a Pokeball and tapped it on Pikachu's head. Nothing happened.
"That isn't a wild Pikachu. We should try to find his trainer." Blaze said, coming toward the small mouse. It backed away slowly realizing she wanted to pet him.
"I think I know whose this is..." Zac said before a man with spiked, black hair and red gloves came up and hugged him.
"Hey uncle Ash..." Zac said as Ash released him from his grip.
"So, have you started on your journey yet?" Ash asked as Pikachu jumped on Zac's shoulder.
"Yeah, and I haven't seen Pikachu in so long. I missed you, buddy." Zac answered, rubbing Pikachu's forehead.
"How many Pokemon do you have?" The elder asked.
"Two, but I'm only using one for the League."
Pokemon Pink: Kanto, Episode 2
Zac and Gary left the roof, leaving a Jynx to clean up. As they stepped out into the foyer, Angel, Dom, and Blaze rushed in.
"What was that? We heard a bang and got lost trying to get to the elevator." Blaze asked, hunched over in exhaustion.
"Team Rocket. They haven't done much since Giovanni killed himself, but now their back and are even recruiting teenagers." Gary informed.
"Whoa Team Rocket's real? I thought they were just rumors." Dom said.
"Zac, while on your journey, could you try to stop Team Rocket wherever you find them?" Gary asked, holding Zac's shoulders.
"Sure and I wanted to ask you something. Could I have a Pokemon?" Zac asked.
"But you have Mew."
"I don't want to compete in the Pokemon league with a god. I want a new Pokemon to raise!" Zac declared.
Gary reached into his satchel and pulled out a normal pokeball with a small blue dot on it. "Here." Zac took it and released the Pokemon and after a few seconds, Dratini appeared.
"This is the only young Pokemon I have, he
Pokemon Pink: Kanto, Episode 1
~Viridian City Gym~
"Alright. You think you two are ready?" A woman with long, curved, red hair asked.
"Were sending you to Pallet Town to get a package from the Pokemon Professor." A man with shoulder-length, blue hair finished.
"Okay!" Two teens dressed in a Team Rocket uniform declared, running out to town. As they passed the pokemart, they saw a plane fly overhead toward the airport.
~On the plane~
"I can't wait to start my journey!" Zac yelled, standing in the middle of the aisle.
"Sit the hell down! Were about to land!" Angel yelled, pulling him into the seat next to her. Zac was stuck sitting next to Angel while Blaze and Dom sat on the other side of the plane.
"How many towns did you go to when you came here?" Zac asked.
"A few, why?"
"You can help, since you know more about Kanto than I do." He answered.
"Ugh..." Angel grunted.
"THANK YOU FOR CHOOSING OUR AIRLINES. WE HAVE LANDED IN VIRIDIAN." The intercom blared.
"Finally." Angel muttered.
All four teens united and w
dA's Angels Epilogue~One week later~
The Council of Eons was deemed useless now that Zac was Death. Now moved into Elysium, Zac is the new Headmaster of Death academy. Zalgo now stood as The true God of reality, even though her and Zac's power was equal, he decided that he had too many responsibilities as a mother, a fiance, and guardian of the afterlife. So, he settled down. This boy had been through so much and he wasn't even 18 yet.
Neo-Death(Zac) sat in his office at the academy, with one of his troubled students.
"Tell me, Blaze, who beat you up and why?" Zac asked, worried.
"Well... I... they said if I told anyone they'd kill me..." Blaze shivered.
"Listen. I've been to high school, I know what its like. You can tell me." Zac assured.
"Okay... It was Jeff..." She confessed.
"God dammit! I told that idiot if he tried hurting anyone, I'd have his head on a platter." Zac grunted. He snapped his fingers and jeff appeared next to Blaze in an instant.
"Woah! Aw shit..." Jeff muttered when he realized wher
dA's Angels: Final Battle Finale"Now its just me and you, Death!" Zac yelled at the hooded creature sitting on a throne of bones.
"You fool, thats what I wanted. You were the only angel whose power almost rivaled that of my own." Death hissed back, his voice now incredibly deep.
"All I have to do is beat you in a one on one and your power will be mine. Your friends... would have messed that up." He answered. "You will make me powerful enough to completely destroy Zalgo and her world along with all the weak and pathetic excuses for angels she has."
"No you won't. I have too many things to protect to let you win." Zac said as his eyes widened.
"Oh yes, your daughter. Maybe, after this, i will keep her as a pet." Death aggravated.
"DON'T YOU DARE EVER MENTION HER, YOU SON OF A BITCH!" Zac screamed as he thrust his sword at Death, who easily avoided it.
Zac had battled Death for a good 10 minutes without landing a single hit. Death was to fast, dodging every thrust and swipe, almost having fun. He finally got bored
dA's Angels: Final Battle PT.2"What do ya want?" Zac asked as him, Clover, and Angel sat in the council room.
"Yeah, I was busy... uh..." Clover said as she saw the others glare. "Shut up."
"Its time." Zalgo said, giving Zac a small sphere on a necklace. "You three need to end this. Death still thinks that Angel and Clover are on his side, so this would be a good time to strike."
Zac looked at the small sphere in confusion. "But, what is this?"
"That is only for emergencies." Zalgo said, turning her head to look at everyone. "So are you guys ready?"
"If this ends the war, I'm sure as hell going!" Clover said.
"I'm in, too. I want my girl to grow up safely on Earth." Zac said, messing with the sphere.
"If these two are in, I guess I'm in, too." Angel plopped down on a chair in disgrace.
"Well, you guys leave whenever your ready."
~Later in Elysium~~
"Wow, this place is desolate." Clover said.
"Their all probably in here." Angel said as they came up to the Academy.
Zac opened the doors for the two girls. As soon as t

MINI Execs Want to Build the Superleggera Concept
Love the MINI Superleggera concept? You're not alone. We're fans here at MotoringFile, and for obvious reasons. The concept is an exciting view of what else a MINI can be when it reaches beyond its hatch roots. Yet concept cars can be fickle lovers. When a car is as conceptual as it is beautiful, it often simply passes in the current of a car company's forward progress.
However the MINI Superleggera is looking very likely to actually see some production form. In an interview with Auto News' Luca Ciferri, MINI head Peter Schwarzenbauer expressed his unabashed enthusiasm for this new vision of what a MINI can be. He also hinted to real-world production likelihood and there's even a price floating around: $35,000 euros. Given how EU to US pricing typically works we'd expect something around the $40k + mark if this figure holds true.
"It was love of at first sight," Schwarzenbauer told me with some tears in his eyes, which he could not take off the stunning concept while we spoke. "With cars it is like with people: the first seven seconds are crucial. I needed much less than that to fall in love with the Superleggera concept."
Mini parent BMW Group typically uses the word "Vision" for true concept vehicles that offer small details of what's to come next. The Mini Superleggera Vision seems to be an exception to that rule.
BMW executives already has a starting price in mind: 35,000 euros.
There is no doubt in my mind that when it comes time for the BMW Group to decide whether to make the car the vote will be a loud and clear, "YES!"
So the obvious concept car caveats apply. Many details will be different. That lack of a-pillars would be the first to change in a production model. The tail fin is likely to get lopped (which is a shame, if you ask me). Yet as with previous MINI concepts, we'll likely see the main attitude and proportions of the car see the light of day.
I'm sure for many readers here, the real eye-popping moment is that price. Is there a market for a $40,000+ two-seater? Yes, obviously there is, however I think that the lament of this community would be that it's a very different market segment than helped build MINI as a brand in the first place. As MINI continues its move up-market, and its evolution away from some of what many consider core values to the brand as we know it, what does that up-market move in cars like this sacrifice in middle-market accessibility?
Yet when I think about it from a different angle, this particular $40,000+ halo two-seater has the potential to extend the brand's presence and market reach in a way that none of the existing models really can (even though models like the Roadster and the Paceman have tried). It pushes the boundaries of what a MINI can be up into a space that's both exclusive and highly profitable. The business case is easy to make. The open question, I think, is will this rising tide eventually lift the price on all the boats in the MINI lineup? As MINI's small car competitors have gotten more and more premium since the MINI's debut, it would seem some sort of strategic vision would be in order. It would appear then, at least if the Superlaggera is any indication, that MINI is planning to double down on premium. That move could, quite literally, come at a price.
