Gimme some McLovin
There's a perfectly good reason why some of the most memorable teen-themed movies tend to take place largely over the course of a single night: a night in adolescence can not only last an eternity, it can be the pivot that either catapults you into adulthood or condemns you to a life of terminally arrested nostalgia.

Starring Jonah Hill, Michael Cera, Christopher Mintz-Plasse, Seth Rogen, Bill Hader and Martha MacIsaac. Written by Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg. Directed by Greg Mottola. 114 minutes. At major theatres. 14A
Nothing if not memorable, and at the very least an instant cult item, Greg Mottola's Superbad traces the Odyssean dusk-to-dawn odyssey of two chronically over-stimulated dweebs – Jonah Hill's hyperventilating horndog Seth and Michael Cera's almost ethereally winsome Evan – as they attempt to procure some booze for a party thrown by the girls who play starring roles in their web-porn-fed hormonal reveries. Explaining that liquor is a vital element in inducing chicks to make mistakes they'll later regret, Seth makes his pitch: "We could be that mistake!"
Initially written by the not coincidentally named Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg when they were teens, the sometimes startlingly vulgar-but-smart Superbad straddles both predominant strains of teen-movie orientation. It's got the insider's view of male adolescent pathology nailed, but it also takes the longer perspective offered by a certain amount of "adult" distance – in the end, it's about the fading of fleeting, unconditional guy/guy friendships.
While this probably accounts for the somewhat overstressed narrative presence of two rehab-bound cops (played by Rogen and SNL's Bill Hader) who are unnervingly stuck in their own Star Wars-stained adolescence, it also permits the movie to be wise and wacko in equal measure. I'm not sure when the last time was I found myself touched by a film with such graphic gags about menstrual stains and compulsive penis-doodling, but I suspect it's been since never.
While the after-dark, let's-get-laid suburban epic plot is both entirely familiar and dramatically skimpy, it permits the movie to wallow in incident and fine-tuned character eccentricity, both of which it does to sometimes startling effect.
Along with newcomer Christopher Mintz-Plasse, who single-handedly revitalizes the mega-nerd stereotype as the guy whose fake Hawaiian I.D. bears the single name "McLovin," both Hill and Cera are miraculously dissimilar studies in post-pubescent obliviousness. There's the former with his hopelessly hysterical little-head perspective on the world and the latter so prone to distraction he doesn't even notice when the girl he lusts after practically asks him on a date.
Make no mistake: Superbad contains laughs galore, so many that the last one may get in the way of next one coming. But it's also got moments where you may want to cover your eyes to shield yourself from the sheer, wince-inducing familiarity of the behaviour on display.
There is no shortage of teen movies that try to make us love them by catering to our ideal fantasies of the way we wish we might have been. Superbad succeeds with a radically different and considerably riskier strategy, by appealing to our embarrassed acknowledgment of just how hopeless we actually were.

Hey everyone! This weekend I had the opportunity to go on my fraternity's annual formal weekend. This year we went out to dinner at a restaurant in Estes Park, CO, and then spent the rest of the weekend in condos in the same town. The rest of the weekend was very relaxing and we had a ton of fun hiking around and checking out the town itself. Now I have to brace for my last midterms and finals and then I'll be done for the summer!
This weekend we hosted Admitted Student Day at CU. Over 4,000 newly admitted students and their families came to our campus to go to major-specific info sessions, take campus tours, and generally get the feel of the campus. It was a very long day for me, an Ambassador, but a very fun one nonetheless. It was really cool every time a family would come up to me and ask where they could go to confirm their intent to enroll as soon as they could. I'm sure we solidified the commitments of a huge percentage of those students.
Hey everyone, sorry it's taken me so long to post! I had the good fortune to actually go on a spring break trip this year! I got to go to the Wolf Creek ski area, in southwestern Colorado. The drive was very long, about 7 hours from Boulder to the ski area, but it was completely worth it. The drive was beautiful and the actual skiing was amazing. We skiied for two days and hung around for a few more, and the second day we went skiing, it snowed pretty furiously.
[Flash 10 is required to watch video.]
It's been a pretty good few weeks for me (besides studying my butt off for tests). I got to paint a room in Aurora, help rehabilitate a house in Broomfield, and make/serve food to little kids in Boulder. The second two I did this past weekend, through Habitat for Humanity on Saturday and through the Boulder JCC (Jewish Community Center) on Sunday.
So I'm halfway through this round of tests now! I aced my Bio test and did pretty well on my Calc test, so now all that's left to finish is the Organic Chem test this Thursday! After that, I can relax until spring break (which could not possibly come at a better time)!
It's that time again. Time for a Bio test tomorrow, a Calculus test on Wednesday, and then an Organic Chem test next Thursday. This is the first semester I've had actual midterm "seasons." Last year and even last semester, it just seemed to be a rolling thing, and I'd kind of always have some kind of test. This semester it's pretty pronounced, and I have easy periods and then hell periods like this next couple of weeks. But my professors in every class said that the first tests were the hardest, and I did pretty well on those, so this round shouldn't be too bad.
Last week, a childhood dream of mine came true. Bill Nye, the Science Guy came to speak at CU! He gave a speech in Macky Auditorium on campus, and that place was packed. As soon as I heard he was coming (a week or so in advance), I snatched up my tickets. I even waited outside Macky for an hour or two to make sure I got good seats, which paid off. Besides just being his wacky self, Bill Nye talked about the threat of global warming and how our generation can work together to avert not only that disaster, but also the possible disaster of letting science education in the U.S. dwindle.
This Saturday, I went up to the mountains and went skiing at Breckenridge, and then over at Keystone for some nighttime skiing. Little did I know, night skiing is so much scarier than daytime skiing. They have lots of lights, and it's safe, but the shadows definitely mess with your depth perception, and you end up going super fast. But it's not very crowded, which makes it a ton more fun.
This is our skiing crew at the top of Breckenridge, the highest lift in North America!
If you're reading this now, you've probably seen that the Packers won the Superbowl XLV! I didn't really have a vested interest in the game, so it was just fun to watch. I got together with some friends and we ate chili, pizzas, chicken wings, and a bunch of other junk food and watched the game (mostly focusing on the commercials). I think my favorite commercial of the night was the Pepsi Max commercial where it ended by the wife throwing a can of Pepsi, it missing her husband, and hitting a girl instead.

The International Cooperative Administrative Support Services (ICASS) system is the principal means by which the U.S. Government provides and shares the cost of common administrative support at its more than 200 diplomatic and consular posts overseas. In the spirit of the Government Performance and Results Act, the ICASS system seeks to provide quality services at the lowest cost, while attempting to ensure that each agency bears the cost of its presence overseas. ICASS, through which more than 300 billing entities obtained support services valued at more than $2 billion in Fiscal Year 2011, is a break-even system; the charge to the customer agencies equals the cost of service inputs.
The ICASS system is comprised of players at post and in Washington that work together to make available a full range of administrative services. These services include motor pool operations and vehicle maintenance, travel services, reproduction services, mail and messenger services, information management, reception and telephone system services, purchasing and contracting, personnel management, cashiering, vouchering, accounting, budget preparation, non-residential security guard services, and building operations.
For more information concerning ICASS principles, players and services, please see "What is ICASS?".
The ICASS system is established at post under the authority of the Chief of Mission. The Chief of Mission is responsible for ensuring that the post has a functioning ICASS Council and that the relationship between the Council and service provider(s) is constructive such that ICASS services are delivered fairly and effectively. In the event that an ICASS Council cannot resolve a dispute with the service provider or between agencies on the Council, the Chief of Mission must make a ruling to resolve the dispute.
The post ICASS Council is comprised of cabinet level and independent agency representatives, mirroring the representation on the ICASS Executive Board (IEB). The Council focuses on broad issues of resources and performance, including setting shared service priorities, selecting service providers, approving the post's ICASS budget, approving new ICASS support positions and annually assessing the performance of all service providers at post. Each post has a standing Budget Committee (BC) comprised of individual agencies and departments with separate appropriations. The BC develops service standards collaboratively with the service provider, reviews and approves workload count modification requests, and reviews and recommends budget approval to the Council. Some post ICASS Councils establish ad hoc Working Groups to research specific ICASS issues and develop proposals for improving ICASS services.
The service provider is responsible for delivering services in accordance with the MOU. There may be different service providers for different ICASS services at post, and a service provider need not be an agency of the U.S. Government. As of the ninth year of full ICASS operations, however, the Department of State, with over 22,000 ICASS employees overseas, remains the principal, and most often only, service provider at our diplomatic and consular posts around the world. The head of a U.S. Government service provider – the Management Counselor, in the case of the Department of State – sits on the ICASS Council as an ex-officio member. The post's Deputy Chief of Mission, the Ambassador's alter ego, also sits on the Council as a non-voting member.
ICASS is a system for delivering shared services at overseas posts. It is supported in Washington by the ICASS Executive Board, composed of fifteen senior representatives of cabinet level agencies and chaired by the Assistant Secretary of State for Administration. The Board, which meets four times a year, is the highest level policy making body in the ICASS system and the final court of appeals for ICASS disputes.
The Washington-based ICASS Working Group, which reports to the Board, is composed of representatives of any U.S. Government agency or program that receives its own ICASS invoice. The Working Group meets monthly to address ICASS policies and practices, and its meetings are open to members and non-members.
The ICASS Service Center serves as the Secretariat to both the ICASS Executive Board and the ICASS Working Group. An interagency staffed and funded office within the Department of State's Bureau of Resource Management, the Center works with many other offices throughout the Department of State and other participating agencies to facilitate the effective operation of the ICASS system. With a staff of eighteen fulltime employees, it coordinates the ICASS budget and allotments process and develops and maintains the software on which the ICASS budget and cost distribution system is based. It also provides policy guidance, practical information, orientation materials and technical advice to those operating ICASS programs overseas, and runs a training program for overseas posts.

BioBuilder: Rethinking the biological sciences as engineering disciplines
Moving biology out of the lab will enable new startups, new business models, and entirely new economies.
Buy "BioBuilder: Synthetic Biology in the Lab," by Natalie Kuldell PhD., Rachel Bernstein, Karen Ingram, and Kathryn M. Hart.
What needs to happen for the revolution in biology and the life sciences to succeed? What are the preconditions?
I've compared the biorevolution to the computing revolution several times. One of the most important changes was that computers moved out of the lab, out of the machine room, out of that sacred space with raised floors, special air conditioning, and exotic fire extinguishers, into the home. Computers stopped being things that were cared for by an army of priests in white lab coats (and that broke several times a day), and started being things that people used. Somewhere along the line, software developers stopped being people with special training and advanced degrees; children, students, non-professionals — all sorts of people — started writing code. And enjoying it.
Biology is now in a similar place. But to take the next step, we have to look more carefully at what's needed for biology to come out of the lab. Read more…
"Internet of Things" is a temporary term
The O'Reilly Radar Podcast: Pilgrim Beart on the scale, challenges, and opportunities of the IoT.
Subscribe to the O'Reilly Radar Podcast to track the technologies and people that will shape our world in the years to come.
In this week's Radar Podcast, O'Reilly's Mary Treseler chatted with Pilgrim Beart about co-founding his company, AlertMe, and about why the scale of the Internet of Things creates as many challenges as it does opportunities. He also talked about the "gnarly problems" emerging from consumer wants and behaviors.
Signals from the O'Reilly 2015 Solid Conference
Insight and analysis on the Internet of Things and the new hardware movement.
Practitioners, entrepreneurs, academics, and analysts came together in San Francisco this week to discuss the Internet of Things and the new hardware movement at the O'Reilly 2015 Solid Conference. Below we've assembled notable keynotes and interviews from the event.
Lock in, lock out: DRM in the real world
Author and activist Cory Doctorow uses his Solid keynote to passionately explain how computers are already entwined in our lives and our bodies, which means laws that support lock-in are much more than inconveniences. Doctorow also discusses Apollo 1201, a project from the Electronic Frontier Foundation that aims to eradicate digital rights management (DRM).
The future of car making: Small teams using fewer materials
How we make cars is a bigger environmental issue than how we fuel them.
Around two billion cars have been built over the last 115 years; twice that number will be built over the next 35-40 years. The environmental and health impacts will be enormous. Some think the solution is electric cars or other low- or zero-emission vehicles. The truth is, if you look at the emissions of a car over its total life, you quickly discover that tailpipe emissions are just the tip of the iceberg.
An 85 kWh electric SUV may not have a tailpipe, but it has an enormous impact on our environment and health. A far greater percentage of a car's total emissions come from the materials and energy required for manufacturing a car (mining, processing, manufacturing, and disposal of the car ), not the car's operation. As leading environmental economist and vice chair of the National Academy of Sciences Maureen Cropper notes, "Whether we are talking about a conventional gasoline-powered automobile, an electric vehicle, or a hybrid, most of the damages are actually coming from stages other than just the driving of the vehicle." If business continues as usual, we could triple the total global pollution generated by automobiles, as we go from two billion to six billion vehicles manufactured.
The conclusion from this is straightforward: how we make our cars is actually a bigger environmental issue than how we fuel our cars. We need to dematerialize — dramatically reduce the material and energy required to build cars — and we need to do it now. Read more…
JavaScript shares its ubiquity
WebAssembly changes the rules of the JavaScript game.
I've never seen a technology lay down its primary advantage and prepare to hand over its ubiquity. I'm proud of JavaScript for doing this, and I'm sure that in the long run this will be good for the Web, but in the meantime I'm wondering where WebAssembly will take us.
Brendan Eich's announcement of the effort makes clear that this builds on the earlier asm.js (and Google's similar PNaCl), a highly efficient JavaScript subset that compilers of other languages could target. Eich enjoyed using Unreal Engine for demos of the speed asm.js could provide, but compiling to JavaScript, even weird JavaScript, still needed to go through a JavaScript parser. (Other approaches compiled to more comprehensible but less optimized JavaScript.)
WebAssembly – wasm – skips that final step, producing a binary format, technically a compressed AST encoding. Unless you're going to be building compilers, you can compare wasm to a bytecode system. There is a text format for debugging, but the binary emphasis yields substantial extra speed as it skips parsing and minimizes decompression.

WALLA WALLA -- A man has been charged in Superior Court with leading law enforcement on a vehicle chase last month in the west end of town that resulted in him crashing into a building, officials said.
Eduardo Miranda Salazar, 19, of 809 N. Ninth Ave., is accused of attempting to elude a pursuing police vehicle, in addition to driving while under the influence of intoxicating liquor and third-degree driving while license suspended. The charges were filed Tuesday.
A county sheriff's deputy reportedly was parked in the 1200 block of West Pine Street about 12:35 a.m. Jan. 8 when he saw a car speed by at about 50 mph in the 30-mph zone.
The driver, later identified as Salazar, allegedly continued to accelerate as he headed east on Pine and a Walla Walla police officer joined the pursuit through Cayuse and Cherry streets, and Ninth, Fifth, and Fourth avenues.
"The driver of the eluding vehicle failed to stop at about five stop signs and failed to signal on about eight turns," according to a sheriff's office report filed in court.
Salazar lost control of the car at the corner of Pine and 13th Avenue, the vehicle jumped a curb and went airborne for several feet before colliding into a building at 735 N. 13th, the report says.
Salazar reportedly was unresponsive and unconscious at the scene, so was transported to Providence St. Mary Medical Center for treatment. He smelled of alcohol and his privilege to drive had been suspended, according to officials.
He later was released from the hospital after receiving treatment for a head laceration and other minor injuries. However, because of his medical condition, he wasn't jailed.
Salazar is being summoned to court March 7 for his first appearance on the charges.Terry McConn can be reached at email@example.com or 526-8319.

The main draw bank of Angel Diet or Angel trade is fully depended on Internet Explorer. Internet Explorer is crashed in my pc. You know that it is not so easy to correct it. I had download a fresh copy of Internet Explorer from Microsoft website. But it get crashed very soon. Final solution is I will have to format windows. Number of Advance Web Browsers is available in the market.But all are waste because Angel Diet/Trade is not supporting them. I have almost all web browser installed in my pc ( Firefox, Google Chrome, Avant, CometBird 11.0, CoolNovo, DeepNet Explorer, Comodo Dragon, flock-2.6.1, Luna Scape 6.58, Maxthon 22.214.171.1240, Netscape Browser, Opera_11.52, Safari, SeaMonkey 2.8, Sleipnir 2.910, Slim Browaser 6.01 ) except Internet Explorer. So I can not trade using angel trade/died. Why you are suppporing Internet Explorer only. Will I get freedom to trade in some other web browser. If yes then when ?

They are big cheaters. They tell one thing & do whatever they want. They are having lots of hidden charges which they will not tell you at the time of opening account even if you request. They will missguide you & you will be in loss always. You will not be able to take deliveries profitably as per your will. They are just interested in generating brokerage & not to help you make profit.

Crisis in the Andes: 1,600 years of ice melts in just 25 years
It's a stunning development in the world of climate change. Masses of ice that took South America's Andes mountain range 1,600 years to form have reportedly melted in full in the last 25 years, another consequence of warming temperatures worldwide, according to a study published April 4 in the journal Science.
The study, led by Ohio State University glaciologist Lonnie Thompson, documents the massive ice loss that the Quelccaya ice cap in Peru has suffered in recent decades. The formation, they report, is now the smallest it has been in 5,200 years.
Quelccaya, located in far eastern Peru, is the largest tropical glacier on Earth, but it's been withering under as global temperatures rise, in particular by El Niño — a temporary climate shift driven by wind and ocean patterns in the Pacific. Members of Thompson's team have spent time photographing the glacier since 1978, and year by year photographs show steady glacial retreat and the emergence of plant life in what had been frozen ground years before.
One landmark discovery was a mass of plants that the team found near a lake formed from the meltwater. These plants turned out to be 4,700 years old, which meant that when the glacier's margin had stopped at their location, it was at its lowest point in nearly 5,000 years.
And yet it's at an even lower point today.
Thompson's group later found another crop of exposed plants that turned out to be 6,300 years old. The 1,600 years that separate the first plant group from the second, the researchers explained, indicate 1,600 years of ice that melted since 1978,
Thompson and his colleagues back up their visual collage with their data that they compiled from ice-core samples that they extracted over a period of years. Through analyses of the samples, they have been able to reconstruct the region's last 1,800 years of climate history. They could also discern the age of the glacier's margins by carbon-dating of plant matter—in eons past, when the glaciers were expanding, they submerged and froze over plant life, remains of which are once again exposed as the glaciers now withdraw.
And what's happening to Quelccaya is happening to many other tropical glaciers around the world. The researchers noted that its ice cores showed strong similarities to ice cores that other groups had obtained from the Himalayas and the mountains of Tibet. All the core samples bear similar chemical compositions, and their glaciers are likewise losing ground at continuous rates.
Meanwhile, the findings are especially devastating for Peru, which has played witness to an extraordinary decline in its glacier area. According to scientists, the 1970 at least 22 percent of the country's glacier area has melted, and ice is said to be retreating at average rate of 200 feet per year. As a result, the country has taken unprecedented measures to curb the effects of warming, even going as far as covering large swaths of its glaciers in white paint.
The discovery is likely to only add fuel to the debate over the effects of global warming. According to researchers, rising global temperatures will speed the melting of glaciers and ice caps and cause early ice thaw on rivers and lakes. Over the course of the past decade, a number of massive ice shelves have felt the impact of rising temperatures. After existing for many millennia, the northern section of the Larsen B ice shelf in Antarctica — a section larger than the state of Rhode Island — collapsed between January and March 2002, far sooner than scientists had predicted. Meanwhile, a series of studies released by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) shows the Earth continuing to warm at an alarming rate. According to NOAA scientists, 2012 was the warmest year since global instrumental temperature records began over 130 years ago.
Still, a number of climate skeptics have questioned whether the effects of global warming will play out as predicted. According to a series of recently released studies, scientists are already discovering evidence that seems to show unpredicted changes. For example, a recent study examined how glacial retreat could present penguins with larger nesting areas. With more room to hatch babies, the Ross Sea Adélie penguins may ultimately benefit from a warming planet, said researchers.
The Quelccaya ice-core samples remain in deep-freeze—i.e., -30 degrees Celsius—storage. Thompson and his colleagues hope that further analysis of the samples will aid climate researchers worldwide in better understanding Earth's climate history—and its future.

HSBC "lift" by Grey London

The process has been under way since July and several UK agencies are involved. It is believed to be run out of Lego's headquarters in Billund.
Lego has traditionally used agencies on a project-by-project basis, although Rainey Kelly Campbell Roalfe/Y&R held the global advertising account from 2001 to 2004.McCann Erickson has also worked on global strategy.
A spokeswoman for Lego said she would not comment on any ongoing process.
For the London 2012 Olympic Games, Lego released an outdoor campaign created by Dazzleship. The 35 executions featured Lego figures dressed in the Team GB kit for various sports.
Last year, Lego also launched a 17-minute online animated film, created by the Danish studio Lani Pixels, to celebrate its 80th birthday. It told the story of Ole Kirk Christiansen, who founded the company as a carpentry workshop in 1932.

Weekdays at Noon on 92.3 KTAR
KTAR Middays
Final Word: Be smart and don't spark wildfires
It's Easter weekend, and although Easter is late this year, something else is here early.
Really early.
Fire restrictions will go into effect in four national forests in Arizona on Friday. That means no fires, save for established campgrounds in the Coconino, Kaibab, Prescott and Tonto national forests. Smoking is restricted to developed campgrounds, buildings or enclosed vehicles.
No fireworks, ever, but if that is news to you, please don't ever go camping.
The bottom line is, too many trees and too little water have proven to be a deadly combination in Arizona over the last decade.
And if you're an experienced camper, you probably already practice all the fire safe techniques you should. But sometimes it's an ignorant accident that starts the forest fire.
The best intentions can still go horribly wrong, like the Wallow Fire. It was caused when two campers THOUGHT they had properly put their fire out. They threw a candy wrapper into the fire, to make sure it was out.
It wasn't. More than 500,000 acres burned.
This year will prove to be challenging. No amount of summer rain will make up for the lack of snowpack and overgrown forests.
So if you must camp this summer, leave the cigarettes at home or in the car. Use the fire ring inside the campground, douse that fire before you leave and make sure your boat trailer isn't dragging a chain.
The slightest spark could turn in to this summer's Yarnell Hill Fire. Let's not have that happen EVER again.

Critical Review by Tom Nolan
SOURCE: "The Grisham Formula Revisited," in The Wall Street Journal, March 12, 1993, p. A6.
In the following review, Nolan finds the plot of The Client implausible and the characters unappealing.
John Grisham established a formula for generating suspense in his first runaway bestseller, The Firm: An innocent citizen is caught between the opposing and uncompromising forces of organized crime and federal law enforcement. The protagonist defies both camps to fashion a unique way out of the dilemma.
Mr. Grisham hews to the formula in his new novel, The Client. Here the innocent confronted with unappealing options is Mark Sway, an 11-year-old Memphis boy, who is present when mob lawyer Jerome Clifford commits suicide.
Clifford's hottest client, a New Orleans hood known as Barry "The Blade" Muldanno, has been indicted for the murder of a senator, although the apparent victim's body has not yet been found. Clifford knows the location of the corpse and reveals that information to young Sway before killing himself. Local and federal law enforcement officials want Sway to tell what he knows, but the mobster's minions warn him not to.
Afraid to talk lest he jeopardize the lives of his family and himself, Sway all on his own gets himself an attorney, retaining for the sum of $1 the services of 52-year-old Reggie Love, a shrewd and capable advocate specializing in protecting children's rights.
Love has her hands full looking out for this urchin. Among those arrayed against Sway are a sanctimonious, publicity-hungry U.S. attorney and a gaggle of determined FBI agents. The tough fourth-year lawyer soon has them all tied in knots, though, including the FBI—"the Fibbies," as the gangsters call them, or "those clowns," in the words of Mark Sway.
A great deal of disbelief must be suspended in order for this plot to unfold. Does it make any sort of sense for the mobsters to "warn" this boy to keep quiet? Wouldn't they prefer to eliminate the potential witness outright? Too much heat would be generated were they to commit such an outrageous crime, one hood says. More heat than for the murder of a senator?
And how does keeping silent protect Sway at all? Surely telling what he knows is Sway's only way to safety. Why would the bad guys come after him once the secret was out? And if the villainous Muldanno can elude FBI surveillance in order to hire people to harass and threaten the child-witness and his lawyer, couldn't he just as easily persuade some cronies to move the corpse he's so worried will be found?
Eventually Muldanno does just that, but only in order to set up a contrived slam-dunk sequence in which Sway and Love outwit a bunch even clumsier than The Gang That Couldn't Shoot Straight.
Just as aggravating as these implausibilities is the personality of the book's "hero," a tot who is alternately smug, patronizing and whiny—probably the most obnoxious child in American fiction since the little terror in O. Henry's "The Ransom of Red Chief." By midpoint of The Client, this reader found himself rooting for "those clowns."

Nueces County beach officials close access roads ahead of Tropical Storm Arlene
CORPUS CHRISTI - As Tropical Storm Arlene churned east of Mexico's central Gulf coast Wednesday, Nueces County beach officials closed vehicle access to frequented beach spots near Bob Hall Pier and J.P. Luby Surf Park.
Although city parking lots and access roads near the beach remained open, officials cautioned beachgoers to remain vigilant in the face of rising tides and dangerous rip currents.
"Be extremely cautious getting into the water," said Derek Herzog, beach and special events superintendent. "The surf is big."
Herzog said driving near Beach Access roads 4, 5 and 6 was restricted due to waves washing up into the dunes near the popular surfing spot.
"You can walk to the beach, but we won't let you park there," he said. "A lot of people are just parking on the access roads and walking."
Despite the storm's size, officials at the National Weather Service office in Corpus Christi said the Coastal Bend will see little precipitation from the depression.
"We're expecting very minimal rain," said forecaster and meteorologist Scott Cordero. "There may be a passing shower or two, but for the most part there will be less than an inch."
Cordero said the storm became better organized by Wednesday afternoon.
"It might make landfall as a hurricane or high-end storm at around noon (Thursday)," he said.
Although the storm has brought increased surf, Herzog said to be wary of rip currents and choppy surf.
"Understand your limitations before you go out into the water," he said. "Just because you see surfers out there doesn't mean it's safe."
Despite a lack of precipitation and high tides, Scott Cross, Nueces County Coastal Parks Director, said there is a silver lining.
"These high tides will pack the driving lanes and work to manicure the beach just in time for the holiday, making driving conditions excellent," he said in a news release.
The main threat to Mexico comes from heavy rains that could cause flash floods and mudslides in 13 states, the government said.
The Mexican government posted a hurricane watch from the tourist zone of Barra de Nautla to La Cruz in Veracruz state. It shifted a tropical storm warning south, from the Veracruz fishing village of La Pesca to Palma Sola.

I love this game and play it daily. It's very simple, and at the same time strategy and planning can go deep. There are a lot of options to work with or against other players, and there are a lot of ways to build yourself up and attack others.
The core of the game itself though is simple and quick to get into. Ditto for Nesh82, more turns please!

Forum and wire reports, Published March 15 2013
I-94 now open from Fergus Falls to Alexandria; travel alert issued for southeastern ND
The Minnesota Department of Transportation and the Minnesota State Patrol closed the approximately 50-mile stretch early Friday.
The eastbound lane had reopened by 8:35 a.m., and the westbound lanes reopened by 9:04 a.m., according to patrol Sgt. Jesse Grabow.
Grabow said at least two jackknifed semis had to be pulled out, and there were a couple of rollover accidents that involved injuries not believed to be life-threatening.
Freezing rain fell on parts of west-central Minnesota, creating difficult driving conditions.
"It's like a skating rink with a light dusting of snow on top," Grabow said.
Snowplows were spreading sand, but drivers will still need to use caution when I-94 reopens, Grabow said, noting a snowplow was reportedly struck by a vehicle but there were no reported injuries.
The North Dakota Department of Transportation issued a travel alert at 7:40 a.m. for southeastern North Dakota – including Fargo, Ellendale, Jamestown, Valley City and Wahpeton – because of snow and freezing rain causing hazardous driving conditions. Motorists can still travel in those areas, but should reduce speeds and drive according to conditions, the DOT said.
Bruce Nord, maintenance superintendent for the DOT's southeast region, said the Lisbon, Forman, Lidgerwood and Wyndmere areas all received freezing rain overnight, and it was still raining near Fairmount shortly before 8 a.m.
Road conditions were icy from the Walcott area to the South Dakota border, Nord said. Traffic speeds were reduced, and power lines were hanging low because of ice, he said.
"The guys are having to take it slow and easy trying to get this stuff off," he said of plow drivers.
The North Dakota Highway Patrol responded to four rollover-type accidents – none involving serious injuries – between 3 and 9:30 a.m. from Christine to the border, where freezing rain fell overnight, Capt. Bryan Niewind said.
"They're leaving the roadway and hitting the hard snowpack and rolling," he said.
Ice was spotty on the interstate, Niewind said, and he urged drivers to take their time, not use cruise control and be aware of rapidly changing road conditions.
West of Fargo, snow was blowing but not drifting across I-94 and the road surface was clear and dry, he said.
Numerous fender-benders were reported in the Fargo-Moorhead metro area Friday morning.
The National Weather Service posted advisories in the northern and eastern parts of North Dakota on Friday, with forecasters calling for freezing rain and up to 5 inches of snow. There's also a chance of snow in the west on Saturday, and it's expected to spread across the state on Sunday.
Forecasters say blowing snow could cause travel problems into Monday.

After the International Cricket Council withheld payment to Sri Lanka Cricket (SLC) - one of the worst managed cricketing bodies in the world - for co-hosting the 2011 World Cup, following allegations of misappropriating funds, the players were affected the most.
And even though the ICC recently released $2 million directly to the players, the Sri Lanka cricketers are still waiting to receive almost $5 million more as match fees over the last year or so.
While a Sri Lankan cricketer is promised $5,000 for a Test, he is set to earn $3,000 and $2,000 for playing an ODI and a Twenty20 International, respectively. Add to that the annual contract fees for some of the top cricketers divided in three categories ($100,000 for Grade A, $80,000 for Grade B and $60,000 for Grade C), you will realise the gravity of the situation.
Had it been the case with Indian cricketers, with astounding sums involved (R7 lakh per Test, Rs. 4 lakh per ODI and Rs. 2 lakh per T20I and Rs. 1 crore, Rs. 80 lakh and Rs. 50 lakh for Grade A, B and C contracted players), perhaps the cricketers would have been on a strike.
So what is it that keeps the Sri Lankan cricketers going despite not being paid? "The love of the game," Mathews said on Tuesday, on the eve of their CB Series opener against India. "Eventually we will get paid. The cricket board has been trying to sort out the situation. Hopefully, they will come up with a good solution in the near future. Right now, we are concentrating on our cricket."
To make matters worse for Mathews, his outfit Pune Warriors are not certainties for IPL5 following the owners' decision to end their ties with Indian cricket. Mathews seems to have little choice but to hope against hope. "I haven't heard anything (from Sahara or BCCI/IPL). Hopefully the situation turns good and we can play (IPL5)," Mathews, who missed the World Cup final and the IPL due to injury, said.

MCKINLEYVILLE- Don and Katherine Andrews have turned their home into a power plant of sorts. They're helping supply their neighborhood with energy, by harnessing the power of the sun.
"I've calculated that i have produced or we have potentially produced 350,000 watts of power in 20 days, so that's colossal," Don said.
The Andrews recently installed 16 solar panels on the roof of their McKinleyville home.
"The way we looked at it was you could either look at it as making an investment and counting the time and the energy that you saved and sold back to PG&E until the system is paid off, or you could look at it as borrowing this money, and the monthly payment is so much less than your monthly PG&E bill that in a sense you are reducing your PG&E bill and getting a free system," Don said.
Don bought the panels and everything needed for assembly at Six Rivers Solar. Instead of hiring a contractor to set up the system, he opted to set it up himself with instructions from the store. It took Don and a friend three days to set up the entire system.
"For the panels, the racks, the inverter and everything, it was under 11,000 dollars for a 4,000 watt system," Don said.
But that wasn't the final cost. Anyone who installs a solar power system at their home can also get a 30% rebate on their taxes. That will bring the Andrews' cost down to only $6,000 dollars and because the system will produce more energy than they will use, the Andrews' will actually be selling power back to PG&E.
"It's not going to make us rich but it will be a little bit of passive income," don said.
For environmentally conscious consumers like the Andrews, the costs and the benefits just seem like a no-brainer.
"I think it's so crazy, you think about nuclear power and all the crazy things that we've done to try to produce energy and then this, the sun is just there," Katherine said.

Trisomy 18 is a genetic condition related to the presence of an
extra chromosome 18 caused by a problem that occurs when cells divide in the
egg, sperm, or fertilized egg. The extra chromosome causes the fetus to develop
abnormally with a number of physical and mental problems.
18 is also called Edward's syndrome. It is the second most common trisomy
condition. (Down syndrome is the most common.) A fetus with trisomy 18 has
three copies of chromosome 18 in each cell.
Trisomy 18 can be identified during
pregnancy. Doctors can do prenatal tests and fetal ultrasounds to screen for
problems, and they can do chromosome tests to diagnose trisomy 18.
Many fetuses with trisomy 18 do not survive to birth, but some are born
and live a couple of months to a couple of years. Babies born with trisomy 18
can have heart and kidney problems, a small
head with low-set ears, a chest with an unusual shape, and crossed legs. They
also have severe intellectual disability.

A punch biopsy is
done to remove a small growth by removing a core of tissue with a skin punch.
The biopsy area is then covered with a bandage.
After the growth is
removed, a doctor trained to look at tissue samples (pathologist) will check it
for abnormalities, such as cancer. The pathologist also may do tests to detect
an infection caused by a virus, a fungus, or bacteria.

Remember Me
The bands debut album, 'Spirit In The Machine', was handled by Skillet guitarist Ben Kasica's Skies Fall Studios and the songs cover a kaleidoscope of emotions. "It was a very intense album to make," offers vocalist Jonathan Schweiger. "Many of the tracks have light at the end of the tunnel lyrically, but some are more bittersweet. All of the change and upheaval in our lives before this record played a big part in the creative process."
To that end, the band was born out of the ashes of beloved local bands that had, for one reason or another broken up. Each established artists in their own right, the musicians in Modern Echo have shared the stage with Halestorm, Trapt, Crossfade, Damageplan, Eye Empire, and many other excellent artists. "The live show is something we've always been strong with, and we wanted to make a record we could bring on the road and that plays to those strengths," states guitarist Michael Joseph.
From the complex, distorted guitar riffs and brutal drums in songs like "Sleepwalker" and "Light Your Eyes", to the more subdued and nuanced 'Hold On' and 'Spirit In The Machine', the band proves itself worthy of any hard rock band in the genre. However, amongst all the musical chaos is the powerful, melodic voice of vocalist Jonathan Schweiger. Schweiger's unique vocal styling lends the band its own sound, very different from the stereotypical rock voice. The combination infuses a rare balance of beauty and power that is unique to the band.
The album also showcases Modern Echo's chemistry and collaborative approach. Some songs were written complete or in part by a particular member, while others were written together. "Each person in the band plays guitar and other instruments so it made the writing process wide open with everyone giving input and writing parts," states bassist Joe Alba. "In fact, we had over 20 tracks before narrowing it down to the final 12 to make the album. We were able to take the songs, build them, spend time on them - it was really important to have the songs sound huge, but also that we could replicate them live."
A killer live show and intense touring has brought Modern Echo's powerful approach to hard rock to critical acclaim with fans, media, and other bands alike. Although grateful for the strong response to the album, the band considers itself first and foremost a live band. "We feel most at home onstage, and these songs were written to be performed live," Schweiger says. "The songs get an extra level of intensity through that performance."
Modern Echo is a band that walks the fine line between aggression and melody, between intensity and nuance. "We're all pretty different as musicians and people, but early on it was clear we were on to something special. It's those differences in personality and past experiences that can actually bring people together. For us, it helped power a diverse record full of music and lyrics we knew people would relate to," states guitarist Michael Joseph.
And that is what memorable bands are all about.

Everett Tilson was born in 1923 and raised in Seven Mile Ford, Virginia, a tiny village with a population of 277—none of whom was black. As a seventh grader, his teacher gave him a copy of Uncle Tom's Cabin; the book changed his life. A graduate of King College and Vanderbilt University, Tilson earned his doctorate in religious studies at Vanderbilt in 1952. He remained on faculty in the Divinity School for nine years. One of his students at Vanderbilt was a Methodist minister, James Lawson, a friend of Martin Luther King, Jr., a member of the Fellowship of Reconciliation, a pacifist organization, and a leader of a local group of students he was training in Gandhian nonviolence. Several of Lawson's students became prominent civil rights activists, including James Bevel, Diane Nash, John Lewis, Bernard Lafayette, and Marion Barry. These students, along with many others, commenced sit-in demonstrations and picketing in downtown Nashville during February 1960. On March 3, Lawson was expelled from the Divinity School by Chancellor B. Harvie Branscomb for leading a planned campaign of civil disobedience. Lawson was scheduled to graduate in May, just two months after the expulsion.
Following Lawson's expulsion, Tilson was one of the more outspoken of Vanderbilt's faculty. While his efforts to reinstate Lawson proved futile, he was not alone: 10 of the school's 16 faculty members resigned and 17 students withdrew. Shortly before the fracas, Tilson accepted a position at the Methodist Theological School (MTS) of Ohio in Delaware. Nearly three years before the Lawson contretemps, Tilson had made up his mind to leave the Divinity School, as Branscomb refused to authorize a promotion and raise requested for him in the dean's budget, ostensibly because of Tilson's activism on race. A faculty member until he retired in 1988, Tilson remained active in the movement, getting arrested in Jackson,
