An elliptical machine targets certain muscle groups, including the hamstrings, the gluteus maximus and quadriceps, according to Smooth Fitness and Health. The machine also targets core muscles to maintain posture and balance in the body. According to the Nest, these core muscles include the abdominal muscles and the external vastus lateralis muscles of the hip.Know More
EllipticalMachines.net explains that the heart is a primary muscle that the machine targets because exercise on an elliptical machine is cardio-based. AZ Central also notes that an elliptical machine works the rectus femoris muscle, which is part of the quadriceps.
The Nest says that elliptical machines primarily engage the lower muscles of the body. Elliptical machines also give the option of focusing on the upper part of the body as compared to other machines. Pushing motions work the triceps and the pectoralis major, and the pulling motions also give attention to the biceps brachii of the arms. The pushing and pulling motions target the shoulder muscles, particularly the trapezius.
The Nest also states that calves are another targeted muscle group. If an elliptical machine is geared for reverse pedaling, the calves and hamstrings are given more focus throughout the workout. The gastrocnemius muscles of the rear calf are also worked. The fat-burning nature of the machine also makes muscle tissue more prominent throughout the body.Learn more about Home Fitness Equipment

Britain turns to DR and distributed generation to solve its power woes
By: SGN Staff
Quick Take: Britain was initially slow to move to the smart grid. But the country is under increasing pressure to modernize. For one thing, its growing reliance on wind power forces it to grapple with the challenges of intermittency. For another, its strict carbon mandates are taking "dirty" generators offline, exposing potential shortfalls. - Jesse Berst
Faced with likely power shortages for 2014 to 2016, Britain is turning to demand response and distributed generation. Forecasts claim the country's generating reserve could fall to just 4%, putting half of all customers at risk of disconnection. Additional capacity is needed to cope with contingencies such as the unexpected unavailability of a major power station or a burst of cold weather.
Under Britain's program of retail competition, National Grid has the job of keeping the transmission and distribution grids up and running. As reported by Reuters, the firm is creating two new mechanisms to cope with the pending crisis. On the demand side, the utility will pay customers to cut consumption during peak events (which typically occur between 4PM-8PM on week days during early evenings in winter. Alerts will be issued on the Web and via smart phone.
On the supply side, National Grid proposes to pay operators to keep running generating units that would otherwise be de-commissioned. There is speculation that this order would keep alive coal and gas plants that might otherwise be closed because of high emissions.
Jesse Berst is the founder and Chief Analyst of SGN and Chairman of the Smart Cities Council, an industry coalition.

MONACO (AP) -- Usain Bolt says he wants to go for four gold medals at next summer's London Olympics, adding the 4x400 meter relay to his usual schedule.
The defending Olympic champion in the 100, 200, and 4x100 from the 2008 Beijing Games said Saturday that if he is fit and if Jamaica can challenge for gold, he wants a place on the long relay team. Bolt has never competed in the event at the top level.
He said that "if I can help to get them a gold medal, I will want to go on that team."
The previous male athlete to win four gold medals at the Olympics was Carl Lewis at the 1984 Los Angeles Games.


text: Galaxy S III Explodes Severely Burns 18 Year Old Girl David Pena 9 July, 2013 6 Comments When we have our precious smartphones in our pockets, the last thing we would think to happen is a tiny little explosion to occur. 18 year-old Fanny Schlatter thought the same thing as well, while her Galaxy S III was chilling in her pocket. Now there still hasn't been word on the initial cause of the explosion, but it was so bad, that her pants had to be cut off. We have heard numerous times about user's phones randomly exploding, but I do not think we have seen anything like this. The picture of the severe burn is definitely for the weak stomachs out there, and those of you that have the plastic phone of death, will not find the aftermath of the phone pleasing at all. "Once we have been able to contact this person, we will launch a thorough investigation to shed light on the accident and, in this context, what is left of the phone will probably be sent to Korea. [Samsung submits its products to ] rigorous quality controls."-Mirjam Berger, spokesperson, Samsung Switzerland I am sure she will be receiving a nice fat check from Samsung after the investigation is over with. Let us know what you think about this. Source: Phone Arena abdulla She lies I can tell it's a setup gonewind probably she had the phone accidentally on constantly in pocket trigger by object in pocket plus the fabric she wore may help trap heat… I never like Samsung phone due to the fact it's phones not only lack of highest quality control but also rush out to market without with diff gimmick packages in shapes and sizes without solid lab test on models. This exactly the repeat of Nokia phone in the yr 2000's mistake. jhon she was using cheap after market battery for sure FILA She went out to buy a iPhone after this, which in return will do the same exact thing, lol, those apple batteries

Welcome to Wellington
Boarding school for society's elite, overachievers, and rich screwups.
No matter who you are, Wellington can be the deepest and most beautiful time of your life, or the loneliest and most difficult. And two new girls are about to find out which it will be for them . . .
Laine Hunt is a Wellington girl by blood: She lives the country club life in Greenwich, Connecticut, she's a field hockey star, and her turquoise eyes and blond hair turn heads wherever she goes. But Laine has a mortal fear of failure that wakes her in the middle of the night with a fever, and she'll do anything to avoid it.
She also wants to avoid her roommate, fellow new girl Nikki Olivetti. Nikki is not Wellington material—she comes from a new-money Long Island family who have sent her away to save her from the bad influence of her friends back home. Nikki's a tease, a loudmouth, and an absolute sweetheart—and she just doesn't belong.
The girls couldn't have less in common. Except, of course, they both have to learn to survive in their new world—a world with no parents, no safety net, and no limit to how much trouble they can get into. No one ever thinks they'll crash and burn, but someone always does.
Will the new girls make it to the upper class?
"'Assigned as roommates at the prestigious Wellington boarding school, brash Long Island native Nikki and Connecticut-bred Laine are as different as can be. Each girl is uniquely troubled: Nikki's mother is dead, and at Wellington, her sexy clothes and big mouth mark her as a misfit; Laine's parents are divorced, and while her highbrow background helps her fit in, she's unable to stand up to anyone, including her dorm's alpha girl, who frequently targets Nikki. The trio of authors, former boarding school chums themselves, has created a readily believable environment and characters (and of course, there is no shortage of bad behavior at Wellington.) Popular girls bet on 'which new girl will leave first' — Nikki is a prime candidate — and circle other girls' body flaws with markers, adding derogatory words. Nikki must meet with the dean after she's caught with a boy out in the woods. Teens will not be surprised when Nikki and Laine eventually learn to like — and lean on — each other, though their bonding over Thanksgiving break does not feel entirely convincing. Still, the authors' often lyrical language ('Tree branches clatter in the cool autumn night. Clouds move fast over the moon, changing the shadows, and light pools on the roofs.... It's moments like these when she belongs to no one, not even herself') breathes life into this take on a classic culture clash story. Ages 14-up. (May) ' Publishers Weekly (Copyright Reed Business Information, Inc.)" Publishers Weekly (Copyright Reed Business Information, Inc.)
Welcome to Wellington Boarding school for society's elite, overachievers, and rich screwups. From three graduates of the prestigious Hotchkiss School comes a gripping novel about what high school is like without a safety net--terrifying one minute, glorious the next--and what it takes to succeed, stay sane, and survive.

Is PGP Encryption really secure?
Created: 14 Feb 2012 | 3 comments
The below article came out today and all that is going through my Senior Partner's and mine heads is:
Is PGP Encryption Really Secure? Does the below article basically tell me that we have been basing our Firm's email security and a "Hope and Prayer"?
Someone (Who actually knows) please answer the question, Are my Transmissions Secure?
Thank you.
P.S. I was really suprised that there was not already something up on this board........
Discussion Filed Under:
Comments 3 Comments • Jump to latest comment
The paper just came out, and we are still researching all the details at this point.
First, understand that the issue is not with PGP (or rather, an issue with OpenPGP) but is a concern that the key you've generated might be weak (e.g. have small factors) or share factors with some other key generated by someone else.
The paper says they checked 5.48 million PGP keys. Of these, about 400,000 are RSA keys, and there are only 28 RSA modulii that are shared. In one instance they could determine that the modulus was shared by keys for the same owner, while for the other 27 cases they couldn't realy tell. They perform a similar analysis for DSA and ElGamal keys.
OpenPGP has been a standard since 1998 with RFC 2440. PGP keys can be generated by quite a wide variety of software (old versions of the "original" Pretty Good Privacy, current versions of PGP Desktop from Symantec, GnuPGP, CryptoEx, BouncyCastle, etc. etc.) so it may never be known what software was actually used to generate "suspect" keys.
For our products, we take entropy collection and random number generation very seriously. We've been submitting versions of our PGP SDK for FIPS validation since 2003 and we've been publishing our source code for cryptographic peer review for even longer.
We test for small prime factors implicity for RSA by using a sieve. Our main test is a Miller-Rabin primality test that we run to assure that the resulting number is prime with error probablity of 2^-112 (as recommended by FIPS PUB 186-3). With proper random number generation, small factor rejection, and good primality testing, the likelyhood of someone sharing a factor with you is astronomically small.

Global Leadership Awards SEVEN
"Pomogitye Mnye," the soft-spoken woman whispered into the phone. "Help me."
On the other end of the line, Marina Pisklakova-Parker listened. The woman told a familiar story.
Marina felt the fear in the caller's voice — the slight shiver in the words spoken, the sense of apprehension accompanying each statement, and the inevitable pauses that came when the caller could no longer speak through her tears. Marina used those pauses to reassure the young mother, "I am here. I will help you. I am listening."
Marina not only listened, she pioneered. The hotline she established in 1993 was the only avenue for victims of domestic violence in Russia, where the economic reforms that flowed from the end of the Soviet era failed to alter the troubling dynamic of family violence that wrought havoc on so many Russian households.
No shelters existed. No laws prohibited abuse. No advocacy campaigns counseled victims or educated perpetrators. There was silence — except at Center ANNA, where the phone rang over and over, al

Open Group Tutoring is sometimes called "Supplemental Instruction" or "SI." It is a form of tutoring in which the SI leader (tutor) assists study sessions. SI leaders are usually students who have already successfully completed the course. SI leaders attend class lectures, take notes, and offer 3 to 5 hours of regularly scheduled out-of-class review sessions.
During these sessions, students can collaboratively review notes, discuss readings, develop study skills, and prepare for exams. SI leaders are a valuable help in breaking down and simplifying complex information learned in class. Participation is voluntary and open to all students in the course.
Research shows that students who regularly attend weekly SI sessions receive final grades 1/2-1 full grade higher than students who do not attend. SI attendees also re-enroll at a higher rate than non-SI participants. The SI sessions are free, informal and fun ways to save time studying.
What is Group Tutoring?

Open Group Tutoring (also called "Supplemental Instruction" or "SI") gives students the opportunity to be actively involved in their own learning. SI is a form of peer-guided tutoring developed to improve student performance, success, and retention. It targets traditionally difficult courses in which students have often failed, earned poor grades, or dropped out. Students who regularly attend SI sessions have been shown to do better on tests, earn 1/2-1 grade higher, and re-enroll at a higher rate than non-SI participants. Attendance is voluntary.
Each SI session is led by an SI leader – usually a student-peer who has already taken the course and has thorough knowledge of the course's structure and content. The SI leader attends class with the other students to anticipate questions and problems.
SI leaders are a valuable help in breaking down and simplifying complex information students have learned in class. The SI leader helps students develop study habits for successful completion of the course.
SI sessions are a place where students can feel comfortable asking questions. SI sessions provide an opportunity for students to compare notes with classmates, discuss important concepts, develop strategies for studying, and prepare for tests collaboratively.

Love him or hate him, there's no doubt that everyone has an opinion on Tom Cruise. After his split from Nicole Kidman in 2001, he didn't do himself any favors by hooking up with Vanilla Sky co-star Penelope Cruz, making him look insensitive in the wake of a public divorce. Added to that was his dedication to the controversial religion Scientology, and his marriage to much younger Katie Holmes.
Famous for being famous, and often accused of being a ditzy blonde with very little personality, Paris Hilton says she enjoys making her own money and not having to ask her parents for what she wants. Indeed, she's built up an impressive CV which includes modelling, singing, acting, song-writing, the writing of her autobiography, fashion designing and the launch of her own perfume.
Pele's amazing prowess on the soccer field earned him the nickname "The King" and endeared him to thousands in his home country of Brazil. These days he is recognised around the world as one of the greats of the game.
Australia's sweetheart Nicole was presented with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in January 2003, not long after splitting with husband Tom Cruise. But despite their divorce, she still acknowledges his influence in her career, as he'd noticed her stunning performance in Dead Calm (with Sam Neill) and cast her opposite him in Days of Thunder.

1866-S No Motto Twenty, Choice XF1866-S $20 No Motto XF45 NGC. The approximate mintage of this issue is 12,000 pieces, all of which were delivered in February 1866. After the 1861-S Paquet Reverse, the 1866-S No Motto is the rarest San Francisco Mint Type One double eagle. Only a couple of dozen AU coins are extant (and we suspect numerous resubmissions are in the population data), and NGC and PCGS have certified only six Mint State pieces (2/12). Despite 15 points of wear, the present example retains sufficiently bold definition for the type. The reverse eagle appears to be sharper than Liberty's portrait on the obverse, particularly toward the center, and both sides display even copper-gold color. A number of moderate abrasions are scattered about.

33 year old woman | Roseville, MI, USA | Seeking women 28-35 within 50 miles
Always be a first rate version of yourself, instead of a second rate version of somebody else!
I'm looking for a genuine, passionate, open minded woman who is unselfish, ambitious, and who cannot be superficial. I'm an Italian who is fiercely loyal to those closest to me. If you earn my trust, I will never turn my back on you. I'm outgoing but like every artist I do sometimes get shy...although it doesn't happen often. My friends say that I'm funny, genuine, trustworthy, passionate, ambitious, a dreamer, and imaginative. I need a woman who is supportive and who can love unconditionally. I'm an actress/ screenwriter who is dedicated to making my goals a reality and need someone who is willing to take that journey with me, even if it's just remaining in my corner and who can be encouraging when I may need it the most. I myself am just as supportive, very compassionate, and generous. I treat people the way I wish to be treated and am very considerate. I can't deal with liars and would much rather someone tell me the truth no matter how much it hurts me than to deal with having to find out the lies later on. Family and friends are very important to me and I would sacrifice anything for any one of them. I'm looking for friendship that can eventually evolve into an unconditional love and equal partnership. I'm open to new experiences and love to laugh and have fun. Things that make me laugh outloud...Chris Rock, Chelsea Lately, movies like Bridesmaids, and someone who doesn't take themselves too seriously and can take part in silly pranks that are all in good fun. One of my favorite moments I've had recently was a screening of a film on a NY Harlem rooftop during the summer. Between the city skyline, great company, the sunset, the diverse culture around me..I was completely in heaven.I'm easygoing and believe that I can contribute a lot of positive things to a woman's life. I'm was in a very long term relationship with someone who took me for granted and I will never find myself in that situation again. I'm honeslty curious to see what kind of women are out there and available since I've been out of the game for so long :)
Coffee and conversation , Dining out , Movies/Videos , Museums and art , Music and concerts , Exploring new areas , Nightclubs/Dancing , Performing arts , Playing sports , Travel/Sightseeing , Volunteering , Wine tasting
Aerobics, Basketball, Billiards / Pool, Dancing, Inline skating, Swimming, Walking / Hiking, Weights / Machines
I exercise 3-4 times per week.
I have Dogs
I love dogs and even though I have never owned a cat I wouldn't be closed minded to it :)
I love the culture of New York, Miami, California, and Chicago. New York is where my heart is because of it's diversity and constant motion. I love how you can run into your favorite artist in the street and just the history of NY is endearing.
I'm a huge Madonna & Lady Gaga fan. Love Alicia Keys, Nikka Costa, Jay Z, Usher & Eminem. I love the new show 2 Broke Girls and reality TV is my guilty pleasure. The Sopranos is my favorite show of all time though. I seen the Broadway show RENT 4X.
I'm a huge movie lover. It's my life and career so I'm always in the mood to watch or talk about film. I love music, concerts, and dancing. I enjoy everything from museums to just being outdoors as well. I'm always open to new experiences.
I loved The Alchemist , The Notebook & Chelsea, Chelsea Bang Bang. I'll read anything by Stephen King and live by Entertainment Weekly. The Real, Low Down, Dirty Truth About Hollywood Agenting. I also read Perez Hilton and Mediatakout daily as well.

Yeah, I'm a huge proponent of public transit, yet the TTC and everyone on it totally enrages me. But, I also probably have the TTC to partly thank for me "rediscovering cycling".
I don't think the Spring bike show is as much about the crazy deals as it is about people buying new complete bikes. The Fall bike show is more of a "blowout sale", although even that is pretty lame unless you're looking for clothes or minor accessories (racks/fenders/computers/etc).
If the weather holds up for Saturday, I vote we all get together for some lunch and beers some place in the afternoon.
ps. all the painkiller talk makes me feel like I missed something good by avoiding them when I hurt myself during the holidays.

"We bought a 2000 XE in 2005 w/ 98,000 and have put over 100,000 miles in 4 years, including quite a few miles in 4wheel. She's still going strong and we love her. She could certainly go a little quicker up the big hills on the interstate, but when you put her in 4-low she'll crawl her way over anything it's sensible to drive up, and we're talking some of the worst, two track, off-camber roads in the lower 48. She's been to just over 20 states, withstood the heat of Arizona and the cold of Montana. We've had to replace a fuel injector and do a little work on the exhaust system cause the previous owner let the underside rust up a fair bit, but otherwise she's going strong. We also do quite a bit of work on her ourselves, it's a bit of a hassle to change the oil as you have to remove the skid plate, but changing the transmission fluid is easy enough and the shocks aren't so bad... brake rotors rust up pretty quick, but again, that might have been the previous owners not dealing with the salt in the midwest :( She's been a pretty easy vehicle to sort out and handle regular maintenance on our own, but if you drive a lot of gravel roads, put some lock-tite on the skid plate bolts as it's easy to loose those guys when you're not being careful!"

Mine has over 220,000 miles and other than a forced timing belt replacement (I put it off too long) I have had no problems at all. I have installed a power converter and a 3 screen dvd system on the factory charging system with no worries. Its been through the NC mountains 8 times to TN,KY,GA,FL and VA.NO worries....HINT INSTALL DOUBLE PLATNIUM PLUGS FOR BEST MILAGE (18-20)"

"I am the 2nd owner of this car. I bought it with 22000 miles on it. The truck has been solid!! I put a K&N Cool Air Intake and It made the pick-up and gas milage better. It also eliminated the knock when passing someone when using low grade gas. Over all I have about $2000 into the car since Ive bought it in 2004. Typical replacement parts such a the altenator, starter, timing belt and water pump were replaced after the 200K mark as a precationary measure. Had to drop $600 to repair the a/c but other than that this thing just keeps going. If you own this truck, use nothing but synthetic in the transmission and engine oil and change regulary. I do mine about every 5K miles. This by far has been the most reliable car I have ever owned. I typically drive more than 17k miles a year in Florida."

"Bought an '02 model in late '01 for my wife. Now has over 150,000 miles with no problems. Extremely tough, goes anywhere. My wife drives it to work 32 miles each way every day in northern Michigan winters through snow over bad roads with never a problem. At 100k miles, I had all the stuff gone over and replaced (water pump, plugs, wires, all fluids, filters, timing belt, other belts, etc) even though it had nothing wrong. We plan on driving this car until it stops running. I think we can easily get 300k out of it with no major problems. I couldn't pry it away from my wife anyway unless it is for a new one. It's like her pet."

Oilers draft recap
Jason Gregor
June 28 2015 11:05AM
The Oilers made the correct pick at #1. They happily selected Connor McDavid, and then presented him with the new orange jersey. The Jersey looked great, and the Oilers even put McDavid's number on the back, a sign they've known for months they were taking the Erie Otter star. Peter Chiarelli informed us he told McDavid prior to the draft they were taking him, but Chiarelli was happy to see McDavid was a bit nervous on the stage.
He is only 18 and he just fulfilled one of his dreams, being drafted, and goals, going first overall, and the excitement of the moment wasn't lost on him. I saw McDavid in our hotel lobby hours after the draft and he was still beaming. He was elated to go first overall.
That move was expected, but what the Oilers did with their 16th pick overall pick was not.

The Edmonton Oilers have been selling hope for so long without coming remotely close to delivering results to fans, it's completely understandable a sizeable segment of their long-suffering faithful is taking a show-me-don't-tell-me stance. I've resided in that camp awhile.

When the Oilers acquired Griffin Reinhart yesterday, I felt it meant the end of Martin Marincin in Edmonton and today the Oilers traded him to Toronto for pesky forward Brad Ross and the 107th pick.
Admittedly, I wasn't as high on Marincin as some others.

While lawmakers in Tallahassee on Monday were shepherding bills that outlaw texting while driving, students at Booker T. Washington High School were lobbying their peers.
We support both endeavors and hope each yields the same results: fewer people getting distracted behind the wheel to answer or send a text.
In the state Capitol, the News Service of Florida reported that a bill to ban texting while driving is headed to a full vote of the Senate. That chamber's judiciary committee voted unanimously to approve Senate Bill 2. At the same time, House Bill 13, a companion piece of legislation, is ready to be considered by all 120 representatives.
The Senate bill is sponsored by Nancy Detert, a Republican from Venice. She filed it in November. If signed into law by Gov. Rick Scott, texting while driving would be considered a "secondary" offense. That means a driver could only be ticketed if they are stopped for speeding, reckless or unsafe driving or some other offense. The nonmoving infraction carries with it a $30 fine, the News Service pointed out.
For those looking for a loophole, yes, it does include typing or reading emails. As we pointed out previously, drivers will be able to read electronic maps and follow navigation devices.
Detert said she is optimistic the bill will pass. Other attempts have failed in the legislature in past sessions.
"Hopefully, we've gone beyond public support into public frustration that we haven't passed something," Detert said in the News Service story about the bill. "I think this is the year."
At the same time, students are learning about the dangers of texting while driving. The Act Out Loud rally at Washington was timed appropriately as prom season is about to kick off, education reporter Erin Kourkounis pointed out.
While the dangers of texting were discussed, we were particularly impressed with the passionate plea from Danielle Pierandozzi, a school resource officer. She warned them about what could be a fatal consequence of sending or reading a text that causes a wreck.
"To think I'll need to console your family, it is terrifying," she told the juniors and seniors. "When you take off from school today and think 'I'm just going to send this quick text message,' just pull over onto the side of a road and save a life."
The message was reinforced by Maurika Newberry, a senior: "Since prom is coming up, everybody should be reminded to not text and drive, and not drink and drive."
It's refreshing to see teens understanding the danger of anything that distracts a driver. As technology evolves, there surely will be more things to tempt a driver to look away.
Perhaps the teens can set an example for the rest of us.

T or C Man Dies In Fire
By KRWG News
Truth or Consequences – A 45-year-old man is dead in a fire in a recreational vehicle in Truth or Consequences.
State police spokesman Lt. Eric Garcia identifies him as Jack Horner.
Investigators say a neighbor walking by Horner's RV just after 2 p.m. Thursday noticed smoke coming from the vehicle.
Authorities say the neighbor and the landlord tried unsuccessfully to rescue Horner.
The cause of the blaze is under investigation.

Some marriages are made in heaven . . . Some are not.
What happens when "the happiest day of your life" turns into a nightmare? Forget the drunken best man or the bridesmaid dresses from the '80s . . . none of these wedding day disasters can compare to a cursed bride determined to make it down the aisle, or a vampire who is about to disrupt your wedding.
Join New York Times bestselling authors Maggie Shayne and Jeaniene Frost, USA Today bestseller Kathryn Smith, as well as Terri Garey in four unforgettable tales of unholy matrimony . . . where the grooms are dark, dangerous, and mostly dead, and to love and cherish till death takes on a whole new meaning.
About the Author
RITA Award winning, New York Times bestselling author Maggie Shayne has published over 50 novels, including mini-series Wings in the Night (vampires), Secrets of Shadow Falls (suspense) and The Portal (witchcraft). A Wiccan High Priestess, tarot reader, advice columnist and former soap opera writer, Maggie lives in Cortland County, NY, with soulmate Lance and their furry family.
Jeaniene Frost is the New York Times, USA Today, and international bestselling author of the Night Huntress series and the Night Huntress World novels. To date, foreign rights for her novels have sold to nineteen different countries. Jeaniene lives in North Carolina with her husband Matthew, who long ago accepted that she rarely cooks and always sleeps in on the weekends. Aside from writing, Jeaniene enjoys reading, poetry, watching movies with her husband, exploring old cemeteries, spelunking and traveling by car. Airplanes, children, and cookbooks frighten her.
A Southern girl with an overactive imagination, RITA(r) and PRISM Award winner Terri Garey lives in Florida, where anything weird is considered normal. A former computer analyst, she left the dry world of logic behind in order to write novels filled with fantasy, romance, and happily-ever-afters.

TORONTO, ON - OCTOBER 13: Luke Schenn #2 of the Toronto Maple Leafs keeps the puck away from Wljtek Wolski #8 of the Colorado Avalanche in a game on October 13, 2009 at the Air Canada Centre in Toronto, Ontario. The Avalanche defeated the Leafs 4-1. (Photo by Claus Andersen/Getty Images)
The Philadelphia Flyers acquired defenseman Luke Schenn from the Toronto Maple Leafs for forward James van Riemsdyk on Saturday. The 22-year-old Schenn should help replace the void created by the loss of captain Chris Pronger, who is unlikely to return because of post-concussion symptoms. Schenn has 14 goals and 61 assists for 75 points in four seasons. He's the older brother of Flyers forward Brayden Schenn. Luke Schenn was the fifth overall pick in the 2008 NHL Draft. Van Riemsdyk, also 22, has 47 goals and 52 assists for 99 points in three seasons. He was the second overall pick in the 2007 draft.

Gear Review
Andrew S
Great Lid
I've got a few rides in with this helmet and so far it's been great. I typically have to wear a l/xl helmet but with the Giro sizing I was able to fit into a medium which makes for a more compact and better fitting helmet. Ventilation is great and it's very light weight, hardly notice it once it's on. The fit system of this helmet is highly adjustable so you can really dial it in. It takes some time to get it right, but once it's done you shouldn't have to mess with it again. My only complaint is the height adjustment on the RocLoc moves up and down too easily. I usually reposition it once the helmet is on and then adjust the RocLoc as needed. If I crash and burn and need to replace this helmet I'd get another Hex.

Following strong growth in 2013, sales of travel trailers and motor homes continue to gain momentum early this year, new industry reports show.
New motor home registrations in the U.S. were up 9% in January, with registrations of Class-C units (typically priced between $43,000 and $200,000) up 29%, according to a report released Friday from Robert W. Baird & Co., using data from the firm Statistical Surveys Inc.
A survey of recreational vehicle manufacturers noted that RV wholesale shipments totaled 25,467 units in January, making it the best January since 2007, according to the Recreational Vehicle Industry Association.
Wholesale shipments are expected to total 339,600 units by the end of the year, a healthy 5.7% increase over last year, the association noted in a news release.
Sales of motor homes and travel trailers generate millions of dollars in Wisconsin. People come here from the Chicago suburbs to shop for units, partly because of large nearby dealerships.
In the worst of the recession, sales ran out of gas. Manufacturers filed for bankruptcy, some dealerships closed, and banks repossessed units costing up to several hundred thousand dollars.
As the economy has improved, the RV industry has regained its footing, and enthusiasts are returning to the dealership showrooms.
"Even on the coldest days, people are coming to look, which is really surprising," said Kim DeHaan, owner of DeHaan RV Center in Elkhorn.
DeHaan said she dropped out of the motor home business in 2009, opting to instead focus on travel trailers, but she returned last year with Class-C motor homes that have sold very well.
"I think the market is coming back. What makes the difference with Class-C units is they're built on a van-type chassis, so for most people it feels like driving a full-size pickup or full-size van rather than something larger," she said.
Class-C sales in Wisconsin last year were much higher than the national average, said Tim Wegge, president of Burlington RV Superstore, in Sturtevant.
Some buyers also aren't shy about getting bigger motor homes.
That's especially true if they're snowbirds or taking extended trips, Wegge said.
Retirements and pending retirements have been a big sales driver, said Mike Prosser, owner of Prosser RV in Milwaukee and Sturtevant.
"I have sold many small diesel motor homes to people from out of state. A couple of months ago, a guy drove up from Texas to buy one from us," Prosser said.

Billy Crystal Pays Tribute to Robin Williams at Tonight's 66th PRIMETIME EMMY AWARDS
As BroadwayWorld previously reported, Billy Crystal will pay tribute to actor and comedian Robin Williams at tonight's 66TH ANNUAL Primetime EMMY AWARDS.
Emmy producer Don Mischer told E! News. "We felt we needed to do something powerful and memorable. Billy seemed like the perfect choice."
Over the course of 20 years, Crystal and Williams, along with Whoopi Goldberg, raised over $80 million for people in need with their Comic Relief standup comedy specials. In addition, the actors co-starred in the 1997 film Father's Day.
Two weeks ago, Crystal tweeted the simple message, 'No Words' upon hearing of the tragic passing of his close friend and colleague.
Crystal appeared on Saturday Night Live from 1984 to 1985. He has also starred in The Princess Bride, When Harry Met Sally, Analyze This, Monster's Inc, Analyze That, Monster's University, and more. His Broadway credits include the Tony-winning 700 Sundays, which he also wrote.
Seth Meyers will take over the reins as host of the The 66th Annual Primetime Emmy Awards, airing live on NBC coast-to-coast, tonight, Aug. 25 (5-8 p.m. PT/8-11 p.m. ET).

We provide an independent comparison service free of charge but we may receive a commission from some of the companies we refer you to. These are indicated with purple buttons.
Some of the best interest rates on the market are for accounts that reward savers for making regular monthly payments, rather than just depositing a large sum at the start. Taxable regular savings accounts are available, but if you'd like to make the most of your tax-free allowance, a regular saving ISA might offer higher interest payments. Understanding how they work and what features to look for will help you find the best regular saver ISA to suit you.
An ISA (Individual Savings Account) allows you to save up to a set amount each tax year without needing to pay income tax or capital gains tax. This means you get to keep all of the interest you earn, rather than paying 20% of it to the taxman, or even 40% if you're a higher taxpayer.
A cash ISA works like a savings deposit account, although the maximum you're allowed to pay in during the 2015/16 tax year is currently £15,240. You can only pay into one Cash ISA per tax year, and if you don't use all of your allowance, you can't carry this over to the next year.
Stocks and shares ISAs also exist, allowing you to invest up to this annual allowance minus any amount you've already put in to a cash ISA that year - our guide explains how they work.
The main perk of opening an ISA is that the interest you earn will be tax free so you get to keep the lot, but that doesn't mean they are always the best choice.
If the ISA rates you find are much lower than competing normal savings accounts, you could look elsewhere. Remember, you'll need to find the net rate of each account, which is the rate you get after tax has been deducted; for example, if you pay 20% tax, the net rate of an account that pays 3.75% would be 3%. Compare this to the rates of the ISAs you find, and if the ISAs offer a better return, they're worth investing in.
Our guide should answer any questions you might have about ISAs.
A regular saver will usually pay a fixed rate of interest over an agreed period as long as you pay into it once a month. The rates these accounts offer are often better than standard savings accounts and are especially useful if you want to save a little each month.
If you have a lump sum already saved and are attracted by the rates of a regular saver, you probably won't be able to deposit your whole amount immediately, so you'll have to set up a regular payment into the new ISA. Remember, this means that you'll only earn interest each day on the amount that's currently in the account, so you'll need to work out what will pay most; an account that will let you deposit the whole sum immediately may pay more interest if it only has a slightly lower rate.
Once you have decided that a regular savings cash ISA is the right account for you, look into the following features:
Interest is usually paid annually or monthly - many providers will offer you the choice, but not always, so if you have a preference, make sure you only consider the accounts that pay interest when you want it. You may also be able to choose if you want compound interest, which is added to increase your account balance, or if you would like it paid out to your bank account instead.
Pay close attention to the terms of your cash ISA saver, as it's likely that the interest rate offered will only be valid if you play by the rules. There will be a minimum and maximum amount you need to pay in each month, and if you miss a payment or deposit too much, you could end up losing the high interest rate. Strictness levels vary; some companies will allow a missed payment or two, whereas others will transfer you to their basic deposit account if you breach their terms, so check the small print carefully so you know what's required.
It's likely that restrictions will apply to withdrawals, as well as deposits. Again, the severity of the terms will vary: some will allow a specified number of withdrawals, others won't allow any without lowering your rate or imposing an interest penalty. If you think there's a chance you'll need access to your funds, choose an account that doesn't punish you for this.
Once you've decided what you need your ISA for, narrow down the accounts that meet your requirements in our regular savings ISA comparison. You'll then be able to find which of these has the best rate; this is important as it will determine how much interest you're paid.
Also check how long the rate is guaranteed for; this will often be a year, after which it will revert to a lower rate. If so, remember to look for a new account once the higher rate expires; our guide explains what you need to know.

SEC Fearless Predictions

| Vanderbilt
| Arkansas

Ole Miss
| Miss State
How are the picks so far? SU: 8-4 ... ATS:
SEC Fearless Predictions, Week
Two, Part 2
SEC Game of
the Week
Miami (1-0)
at Florida (1-0)
Why to watch:
It sounds good in theory. It's Miami
and Florida, two college
football superpowers squaring off for
the first time since a 27-10 Hurricane
win in the 2005 Peach Bowl. In fact, the
Hurricanes have won the last six games
between the two going back to a 1985
35-23 Gator win in that season's
opener. This year, Florida has the
talent and the make-up to make a run for
the national title, while Miami is
looking to come up with its biggest win
since blowing out a nasty Virginia Tech
team in 2005. The Hurricanes certainly
looked like the Hurricanes of old in the
52-7 season opening win over Charleston
Southern, and with a young team full of
top recruits and upgraded athletes, the
time might be now for head coach Randy
Shannon to turn the superpower around.
But that only happens with a win in the
Swamp. Considering how mediocre the ACC
is this year, the Hurricanes could run
the table and win the ACC tile, but if
they get blown out by the Gators, the
season will be a bit hollow. For
Florida, after laying waste to Hawaii in
a 56-10 pounding, the season begins now
with a high-profile two-game stretch
against Miami this week and at Tennessee
next week. Win those two, and then it
becomes a three game season for the
national title: LSU, Georgia, SEC
Championship game. The time is now for
Florida to officially declare its
candidacy for the office of National
Champion of 2008, and a big win would
get the campaign started in a big way.
Why Miami might win: Alabama 34
... Clemson 10. It's amazing what a
little new blood can do to a team. Miami
has some major holes and is hardly a
complete team, but it has a new batch of
really young, really good players who
have provided a renewed sense of energy
and fire. While it'll take more than
than to beat a team as good as Florida,
the athletes are in place to hang with
the Gators for a full 60 minutes. And
then there's the injury issue. Florida
gets back star LB Brandon Spikes and WR
Percy Harvin from foot problems, but are
they really ready and at 100%? The depth has
been hit hard by a variety of injuries,
tight end Aaron Hernandez, who took over
when Cornelius Ingram went down for the
year, has been out for some bizarre
reason, RB Emmanuel Moody has an ankle
problem, and projected starting
defensive tackle Torrey Davis is out
because he can't seem to find the
Why Florida might win: Yeah,
Miami has a new group of great young
players coming into town, but while it's
fun to see what 21 true freshmen can do
against Charleston Southern, it's
another issue to deal with a tough,
veteran group like the Gators. Florida's
supposed weaknesses were strengths
against Hawaii. The pass defense was
suffocating and deadly, coming up with
four interceptions and one pick six
while keeping the Hawaii passing game
out of the end zone until the final two
minutes of garbage time. The
questionable running game plowed for 255
yards without Mr. Tebow doing a lion's
share of the work. In other words, if
the Hawaii game was any indication,
everything is humming and September just
Who to watch: True freshman Jacory
Harris had a great first game completing
16 of 26 passes for 190 pounds and a
touchdown, and ran three times for 22
yards and a touchdown. Thanks Jacory,
but not it's Robert's turn. Superstar
prospect, redshirt freshman Robert Marve,
was suspended for the season opener with
his last time on the field in the 2005
Florida state 4A title game over
Jacksonville Nease and its decent
quarterback, Tim Tebow. While Harris
will still see action, the time is now
for Marve to become a new star on the
What will happen: It's not quite
time. Miami will get really good, really
fast, but it's not going to happen in
Gainesville. There will be a few good
moments for the Hurricanes, but the
Gator offense will be steady and
productive from start to finish.

September 4
Southern Miss (1-0) at
Auburn (1-0)
12:30 EST, GamePlan
Why to watch:
The Larry Fedora era got off to a
rousing start at Southern Miss as the
Golden Eagles destroyed UL Lafayette
51-21 with 633 yards of total offense.
Meanwhile, the Tony Franklin era got off
to a rousing start at Auburn as the new
offensive coordinator's attack ripped
off 406 yards of total offense in a 34-0
win over UL Monroe. Now that the two
teams have dispensed with the Sun Belt,
they'll play an important game for each
team. The Tigers kick off SEC play next
week against Mississippi State and face
LSU in two weeks. Any and all bugs have
to be worked out of the system by then.
Meanwhile, Southern Miss can make a huge
splash for itself, as well as for
Conference USA, if everything works out
perfectly and Damion Fletcher and the
boys can pull off the upset. Outside of
Boise State, there isn't a team on the
schedule for the Golden Eagles to worry
about until a mid-November date at UCF.
Why Southern Miss might win:
Auburn can't throw the ball. At least,
its passing game is still suspect with
the running game used to get the offense
moving. The Tigers have been able to get
away with a mediocre passing attack for
the last few years, and while the Golden
Eagles have a strong secondary,
All-America LB Gerald McRath and the
boys should be able to focus all of
their attention on stopping the run.
While that might sound good in theory
Why Auburn might win: USM got run
over last week. It was a 30-point win,
but giving up 263 yards on the ground
isn't a plus. While running the ball is
all UL Lafayette can do, the Golden
Eagle defense still had a few problems
early on and failed to generate any push
in the backfield. Auburn's offensive
line is among the best in America and
should be able to dominate from the
start. When the Tigers do try to throw
the ball, the quarterback won't have
much of a problem. What is an issue is
Who to watch: ... who the starting
quarterback will actually be. Kodi Burns
is the better overall threat for the
running aspect of the spread offense,
but Chris Todd is the better passer.
Burns suffered a major cut on his leg
against ULM in the third quarter, and
now Todd has been named the starter, for
this week, at least, after completing
nine of 18 passes for 70 yards and a
touchdown with an interception.
Burns completed four of nine passes for
15 yards, but he ran for 69 yards. For
Southern Miss, all eyes will be on
Fletcher, who tore off 232 yards and two
touchdowns on just 21 carries against
What will happen: Each defense
will dominate for the first 20 minutes
or so, and then the Auburn offensive
line will take over. The Tiger offense
might not be pretty, but it'll look far
better than a USM attack that'll do next
to nothing in the passing game.

Central Michigan (1-0) vs. Georgia (1-0)
Why to watch:
Apparently the world didn't thing much
of Georgia's 45-21 opening day scrimmage
over Georgia Southern. The Bulldogs went
from No. 1 to 2 in the rankings, with
USC moving into the top spot, but it's
not that big a deal. When you play in
the SEC, you make your own ranking by
winning the big games. Central Michigan
is trying to make a big splash for
itself as it looks to beat a BCS
conference team for the first time since
1992 (beating Michigan State in East
Lansing). The Chippewas might be the
two-time defending MAC champions, but
the defense is still suspect after a
brutal 2007, and non-BCS conference
teams tend to have issues in Athens.
Georgia hasn't lost to a non-BCS
conference team since a 1996 hiccup
against Southern Miss, but with road
showdowns against South Carolina and
Arizona State ahead, followed up by
dates against Alabama and Tennessee, the
Bulldogs could be guilty of looking
ahead a bit.
Why Central Michigan might win:
The spread has to work. It didn't when
Florida tried it on the Bulldogs last
year, and there's too much speed and
athleticism in the defensive front seven
to try working wide, but CMU has run one
of the nation's most potent attacks over
the last few seasons, and few
quarterbacks are better than Dan
LeFevour. He's a talented veteran who
isn't going to panic under the pressure,
and he has the weapons and experience
around him to keep the offense moving.
Why Georgia might win: The
Central Michigan defensive line doesn't
have a prayer. The CMU offense can
matchup well with the Georgia attack
when it comes to sheer firepower, but
when Georgia wants to crank out a
ten-play, clock-eating drive, it should
be able to do it whenever it needs to.
QB Matthew Stafford had an
ultra-efficient outing against Georgia
Southern, and he'll get all the time he
needs against the Chippewas.
Who to watch: It's Corey Irvin's
show now in the middle of the Georgia
defensive line. With the loss of star
tackle Jeff Owens for the year to a knee
injury, Irvin has to become a rock in
the middle. He had a great first game
with six tackles and a sack against
Georgia Southern, and the quicker he can
settle into his expanded role, the more
formidable the Bulldog defense will be
over the next month.
What will happen: LeFevour will
have nowhere to go for about a half,
Georgia will take a decent-sized lead,
and then the run will come. Just when
the Bulldog defense lets down for a
moment, LeFevour will crank out two nice
scoring drives to make thins
interesting, and then Georgia will gat
all mad again for not being No. 1

Miss (1-0) at Wake Forest (1-0)
Why to watch:
After opening with solid, one-sided
wins, Ole Miss and Wake Forest will
fight to stay perfect while improving
their national profile. The Demon
Deacons were dominant in their 41-13
victory over Baylor, getting three
touchdown passes from Riley Skinner
along with a typically sound effort from
the defense. After Clemson lost badly to
Alabama, Wake has a chance to carry an
ACC banner that's tattered and looking
for a school that can exceed forecasts.
In Houston Nutt's debut in Oxford, the
Rebels had no problems with Memphis,
winning 41-24 in a series that has
typically been much closer. The game
also marked the debuts of QB Jevan Snead
and the new Wild Rebel formation, both
of which helped spur Ole Miss to their
biggest offensive output against an FBS
opponent in five years.
Why Ole Miss might win: All of a
sudden, the offense, a liability in the
offseason, is showing the potential of
being a team strength. Snead isn't all
the way there, but he does give the
Rebels their best passer since Eli
Manning graduated. The new formation,
which lines up skill position players to
receive a direct snap, has brought out
the talents of shifty Dexter McCluster
and freshmen back Brandon Bolden. With
so much beef on the offensive line, Ole
Miss has considerable upside on offense.
Why Wake Forest might win: Ole
Miss survived Memphis without defensive
linemen Peria Jerry and Greg Hardy, but
it won't be as fortunate in
Winston-Salem. The Rebs allowed 453
yards and 28 first downs to a Tiger team
breaking in a new backfield. The Deacons
aren't exactly explosive, but they can
methodically pick a team apart with the
low-risk passing of Skinner and the
running of Josh Adams and Brandon
Who to watch: Wake Forest TE Ben
Wooster has kept his offseason momentum
going strong, catching six passes for 90
yards and a touchdown in the opener.
He's the type of player who can stretch
a defense, while giving Skinner a big,
sure-handed target down the middle of
the field.
What will happen: All of a
sudden, Wake Forest is inching closer to
being the favorite in the ACC. The
Deacons are balanced on offense,
opportunistic on defense, and
perennially well-coached. As good as Ole
Miss looked in Week 1, it's not quite
ready to knock off a program of Wake's
caliber on the road.

The Committee Study of the Central Intelligence Agency's Detention and Interrogation Program, aka the Senate CIA Torture Report, is a legalistic summary of the Torture committed in our name during the post-9/11 War on Terror, matter-of-fact descriptions of acts that, whatever enhanced euphemism we use to mask the truth, are acts of Torture.
Let that word hang there like an indelible shit stain.
Stick your hand in it, rub it in on your clothes. Don't worry, you won't have any new stink there that wasn't there before. This is America, where hideous violence on your behalf has been the name of the game for well over 200 years. Don't be shy. There's plenty of stink to go around.
Because also in the news: multiple summary executions of citizens by law enforcement, including a 12-year old boy who was romping on a playground across the street from his house. The police fatally shot him within 3 seconds of getting out of their car. Because reasons.
Because also: the State of Georgia executed a man with the functional intelligence of an 9-year old - an African American represented at trial by a knee-walking drunk who was also a racist and embezzler. Because Justice.
Because also: the movement to make the 2nd Amendment the primary ruling principle of our civic lives has led to, yet again, a mentally unstable person opening fire on students at a school. And oh, because also, a prominent member of the Open Carry movement shot her husband and daughter. Newtown, two years ago today. It was a teachable moment, remember? Because Freedom. The better to keep us safe.
And nobody seems the least bit surprised. Upset, for a minute, but unsurprised. Now, what's on the teevee?
Welcome to the New Normal. But really, what's new about it?
