Import Carlisle 2011, a Hemmings Perspective
Another year has come and gone for the Northeast's largest multi-marque import specialty show, the Carlisle Import and Kit Nationals, which were held from Friday, May 20 through Sunday the 22nd. The featured country for 2011 was France, so there was an excellent turn-out of French delicacies, both on the show field and in Building Y's Invitational Display. While the bulk of French cars attending were Citroëns, Peugeots and Renaults, there were some real rarities to see.

Visnovsky Being Held Out of Today's HC Slovan Game By KHL
Kevin Schultz
Earlier this morning there were reports on twitter from our counterparts across the ocean that the KHL would hold Lubomir Visnovsky out until some sort of an agreement was reached between the NHL and KHL. Apparently, after all the talk and bluster from the KHL, they weren't ready to die on Visnovsky Hill quite yet (or maybe Bill Daly has taken all the hills).
"The KHL says they will met with NHL reps to figure out a solution," said Yahoo's Dmitry Chesnokov on Twitter. "But for now he cannot play in the KHL."
Chris Johnston of Sportsnet report that the KHL asked the NHL for permission to allow Visnovsky to play with Slovan, but as of that point the KHL hasn't recieved a response. The Islanders and the NHL will certainly not allow Visnovsky to play for Slovan, so the issue is whether the two parties on opposite sides of the ocean can come to some kind of agreement.
It's always been possible that Visnovsky could be part of some larger KHL plan to keep Datsyuk, Kovalchuk, Ovechkin or other big names in Europe but once those names all returned to North America it didn't seem likely the league would hold a hard line with Visnovsky. This thing is far from settled, but it appears the KHL is going to hold Visnovsky out and discuss the matter with the NHL.
Today, Visnovsky is being held out of Slovan's game in Prague against HC Lev Praha. Their next contest is scheduled for Friday in Chanty-Mansijsk, Russia against Jugra. That game takes place at 8AM ET.

The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) has fired a shot across the bow of employers hoping to remain free of ObamaCare's employer mandate by adhering to the letter, but not the spirit, of the law. The agency's message: Don't even think about it.
The IRS recently issued a 144-page notice of "proposed regulations providing guidance under section 4980H of the Internal Revenue Code ... with respect to the shared responsibility for employers regarding employee health coverage." That is, the agency is notifying the public that it will be promulgating rules as to how it interprets the employer mandate and how it intends to enforce it.
And as Merrill Matthews observes at Forbes: "Don't you love that 'shared responsibility' reference? It's as if President Obama's campaign speeches have morphed into IRS reg[ulation]s."
The employer mandate requires employers with 50 or more full-time employees to offer "affordable" health insurance coverage to those employees, with "affordable" defined as costing an employee no more than 9.5 percent of his total household income. For every full-time employee who opts out of "unaffordable" employer-sponsored coverage and obtains insurance on a state exchange, often with a taxpayer subsidy, the employer will be fined up to $2,000.
"The Treasury Department and the IRS are aware of various structures being considered under which employers might use temporary staffing agencies (or other staffing agencies) purporting to be the common law employer to evade application of section 4980H," the IRS notice states.
The IRS anticipates two ways in which employers might try to circumvent the mandate through temporary agencies. First, an employer might hire an employee directly for, say, 20 hours a week, then hire the same person through a temporary agency for another 20 hours per week, thereby getting 40 hours' worth of work out of that individual without either the employer or the agency having to classify him as a full-time employee. Second, an employer might not hire the individual directly at all but might hire him through more than one temporary agency, again obtaining 40 hours' worth of work a week but keeping the individual from being considered a full-time employee of either the employer or any of the temporary agencies.

GAME DAY — Sound Tigers Open Season Tonight Against Whale, 7:30pm
Kevin Schultz
A night after what should have been the start to the NHL's season, the AHL will open its doors to competition that will be a bit fiercer than usual thanks to the influx of young NHL talent. The Sound Tigers start their season tonight in Hartford against the Rangers' affiliate CT Whale. You can actually watch the game free online tonight here or here. Puck drop is 7:30pm.
For those tuning in, there really are a lot of interesting players to watch on the Sound Tigers side of things (not to mention Micheal Haley on the CT side). For starters, there's the three top forward prospects: Brock Nelson, Kirill Kabanov, and Nino Niederreiter. In goal tonight will be Kevin Poulin, getting the nod over Anders Nilsson. Then there's the defense with Travis Hamonic — back on the ice after that "slight, little" injury — Matt Donovan, and Calvin de Haan who has been plauged by shoulder injuries the last few seasons. All that doesn't even include Casey Cizikas, Aaron Ness or a trio of Swedes (Ullstrom, Persson and Sundstrom).
Ladies and gentlemen, you may just be looking at your 2013-14 Islanders.

By RICHARD SHAWSun Advcoate publisher
The next morning I woke up with a sore throat.
Allergy...yeah sure.
Of course no one can tell for sure where one contracts a cold from. But since then it has blossomed into a full fledged respiratory infection. And it came on the day before I had planned a trip to spend a couple of days in the San Rafael Swell with my dog, my four wheeler and a few friends.
"Gads," I said to my wife early that morning after I woke with a throat that felt like caterpillars with athletic spikes on their shoes had trampled up and down my esophogus all night. "I have a really bad sore throat."
She turned over and looked at me. It was about 5 a.m. and it was dark, but I know she was doing that because I can always feel her gaze whether I can see it or not. She has this power over me.
"You'd better get up and get some liquids in you and take some vitamin C," she said as she rolled over the other way. "And don't come back to bed."
We have this policy at our house. As soon as one of us feels like we are getting sick with a cold or flu we immediately separate ourselves from the other. She wasn't being mean, she was following our policy.
I went into the kitchen grabbed an orange and made up some of that stuff called Airborne. It's a fizzy drink made from a tablet like Alka Seltzer. It is supposed to lessen the symtoms of a cold if you take it early enough. It seems to work, although I have heard medical experts are suspicious of it. That's me, the placebo king. I always say if it makes you feel better, take it, whether the good effects are in your head or not.
I went back in the bedroom.
"What are you doing here?" my wife asked.
"I do need some clothes to wear today," I said trying to breath and cough in the opposite direction from where she was laying down.
All this time my Border Collie was wagging her tail and following me around as usual.
"You know what?" I said making a kind of statement as well as asking a question. "The dog doesn't care that I am sick. She likes me just the same as if I was well."
"Then it is good that you are going to the desert for a few days," said my wife. "There won't be anyone out there for you to infect."
I looked down at my little brown pup and she was staring up at me with her yellow eyes and that grin she always has in anticipation of food, ball throwing or wrestling on the floor, with the first being the most important.
"No wonder I love you so much," I said to her.
"You know you talk sweeter to her than you do to me," said my wife from under the covers.
"Well the only opinion she ever has of me or my condition is good," I said. "No matter what I do, what I say or even if I haven't taken a bath for a couple of days she loves me." Then I thought a little more about it. "In fact she likes me better when I haven't had a shower for a few days."
"Yuck," said my wife.
"You know I have been reading a book about Lee Duncan, who was the one that found and trained the original Rin Tin Tin," I said. "He later married a rich socialite in Hollywood but never spent much time with her. She had basically the same complaint. In fact she divorced him after a couple of years listing one of the reasons she wanted out was because there was an alienation of affection by Rin Tin Tin. The dog was listed in the suit like a mistress would be in any other suit."
"Better watch out then," she said as she sat up in bed. "I'd just divorce you if you keep infesting me with these colds you get. You know maybe it is really a good thing you are going away for a couple of days. You can satisfy both your urge to be alone with your dog and you can get the cold out of your system at the same time."
I felt like I was a leper.
"Okay, I will slink off to the desert," I said. "You know where I park the trailer? From now on that will be known as Leper Flats."
"Fine with me," she said.
And so I went. I spent three glorious days away from cell phones, computers, television, Skype and people with problems. And you know what, it cured me, despite the fact the weather was really only good one of those days. I came back on Sunday with relatively little residual from the cold I had contracted and other than being tired from having a very good time, I was feeling pretty good.
From now on, when I get a cold, I think I will just sequester myself out on Leper Flats. Maybe it's the totally clean air, the red rock or just the fact that I can forget about everything except concentrating on looking for new pictographs I haven't seen. In the end something made me better.
I told my wife I wanted to add that to the "stop spreading the sickness policy" we have at home and she said that would be fine. Then she said she wanted to add a policy about living at a Wasatch Front mall if she got a cold.
After that I decided what I wanted to add should be an unwritten policy and only in my mind because at least when I view a pictograph it doesn't cost me $59.95 every time.

CLAYTON Joseph M. Gleason has found his stride again as theater manager.
You could see it in the swift way he moved from his third floor office to the first floor stage of the Clayton Opera House on the morning of March 8 as he and a crew prepared for the first show of the spring season. Questions were answered and directions given. Within the hour, students in grades 3 to 5 from three schools were to burst through the doors for Garry Krinskys Toying With Science matinee.
But Mr. Gleason excused himself to his co-workers on stage to talk about his one-year anniversary as executive director of the Thousand Islands Performing Arts Fund, which runs the 109-year-old opera house. The building has always harbored a sense of community spirit. When it was built, the local Masonic lodge agreed to pay for the roof, provided the Masons could use the third floor for their meetings.
In his office, abandoned by Masons in 1993 before the opera houses $3.2 million renovation project was completed in 2007, Mr. Gleason noted that last year at this time, he was just starting his job.
I had been out of the theater business for a long time, he said. Part of the routine was getting back into the business and getting my head out of IT work.
Mr. Gleason, 52, resigned his job as an information services manager at Monadnock Paper Mills in Bennington, N.H., to take the job in Clayton. He liked the community and the opera house upon sight, despite the drab January weather that greeted him for his job interview last year.
I like the sense of the town, and the building facility is a gem, he said.
Mr. Gleason has extensive theater management and technical director experience, as facilities manager for Capitol Center for the Arts, Concord, N.H., director of operations for the Lowell (Mass.) Memorial Auditorium and technical director for the Barbara B. Mann Performing Arts Hall, Fort Myers, Fla.
He said he took a job in information technology to help provide for his growing family at the time. He and his wife, Charlene, have two sons, Aric, 28, and Ian, 16, and a daughter, Alyssa, 23. Its no secret, he noted, that IT pays a lot more than the arts. His wife is a special-education teacher in New Hampshire and plans to move here permanently in two years when she retires, Mr. Gleason said.
Doing theater is really the first love Ive ever had, Mr. Gleason said. It changes so much. Every production is new.
New things are also happening at the Clayton Opera House.
Ive been making some changes, Mr. Gleason said. Hopefully, for the better.
This year will be the busiest ever at the opera house. The season includes 11 summmer-season shows, which range from a concert by Jefferson Starship to a talk by Watertown native and heart surgeon Dr. Toby Cosgrove, president and chief executive of the Cleveland Clinic.
Officials at the opera house have updated its seating layout and ticket-purchasing procedures. Tickets are now available for member patrons first. Also, reserved seating is now available. There will be no need to line up an hour or more in advance to get the best seats.
Patrons also can purchase add-ons to tickets, such as dinner from a TIPAF restaurant sponsor.
The programming committee has been strong and helpful in getting me situated with the local community and getting to learn the tastes of the community, Mr. Gleason said.
That word community gets thrown around a lot, Mr. Gleason said.
But Clayton is a nice little village and a welcoming place, he said. From all strata of socioeconomics, we try to make everybody welcome here at the opera house.
One of his challenges last year was stepping into a season that was booked by someone else. Mr. Gleason replaced Lisa P. Reiss, who resigned in the fall of 2011 after six months on the job to move back to her native Connecticut. Mr. Gleason booked only two shows last year.
Mr. Gleason made a smooth, successful transition, but he said his first years greatest success was the budgetary bottom line.
Im big on numbers, he said. At the end of the year, we ran a very small surplus. Thats allowed us some flexibility in the coming year. Were essentially starting even and not having to make up for a huge loss.
Ticket sales, he noted, make up for 52 percent of the opera houses costs. About 28 percent is from individual donations anywhere from $100 up to over $5,000 with support from corporations and foundations making up the rest of operating costs.
Mr. Gleason said its important to host shows year-round. He said he noticed that most of last years programming was scheduled during the summer months.
I was determined that we should have events here every month of the year, Mr. Gleason said. That way, I could honestly say, Yes, we are open year-round.
Many of those winter-month events are alternative ones, Mr. Gleason said, such as the live broadcast of the 12.12.12. concert for Hurricane Sandy relief, a digital cinema series and teen karaoke nights.
Doing those types of things seem to bring the people out in cold months, Mr. Gleason said.
The mission in those alternative events, he said, is not to make money.
Our goal is our mission statement: To foster the appreciation of the arts in the Thousand Islands region, he said. Karaoke qualifies as arts in people singing and having a good time.
harboring opportunities
In a strong-armed stones throw northeast from the sidewalk in front of the opera house, an empty lot that once housed Frink America will soon come to life when ground is broken for the Clayton Harbor Hotel project. It will be a luxury hotel and conference center. Developers hope to have the four-story facility open by Memorial Day 2014.
Its one of the reasons Mr. Gleason sees some interesting years ahead for the opera house.
Thats going to change the dynamic a little bit, he said.
He said the project will likely mean more visitors in the summer.
I also see a lot of opportunity in the off-season in having a motel right next to us, he said.
He envisions the opera house cooperating with hotel-sponsored corporate retreats or working in tandem to provide entertainment.
But TIPAF and the opera house, Mr. Gleason said, will continue its mission of being a center for the entire community while hosting a wide range of shows.
Theres lots of opportunities out there, he said. Its nice to have.

I just upgraded to kde3 by putting these 2 lines in my sources.list.
deb http://kde3.geniussystems.net/debian ./
deb http://people.debian.org/~bab/kde3 ./
Then just ran apt-get update and apt-get install
I didnt remove any kde2.2.2 stuff, it was removed as the install of kde3 was taking place.
I installed kdelibs 1st then kdebase then arts, after that it does'nt matter in what order you install any other kde progs, seems to be working well.
BTW: It also uninstalled koffice, so i will have to re-install that, if there is a version available for kde3

Please excuse my ignorance. I am a newbie and have pulled my hair out for 2 days.
I am trying to set up a simple home network with an XP PC, and XP laptop and a Linux (FC4) fileserver.
For the life of me, I cannot get the XP machine to access samba shares on the server. All hardware is connected through a linksys router using DHCP. When I installed FC4, i left the hostname as default localhost.localdomain. Does this need to be changed? In my troubleshooting, I have read about host and resolve files but I thought all of this is handled dynamically by the operating systems, so the name of the individual computers is irrelevant.
I use Windows XP Pro on the non-linux boxes. For what its worth, I only have a single user on each XP system and do not require a password to login. Could this matter? I am trying to use user level security in the samba setup. The attempted shares show up under the WORKGROUP domain in the windows boxes so I know at least they are recognized. When I try to access the shares, it acts erratically. I get any of the following:
1. can't find path
2. do not have access to the requested resources
3. a duplicate username exists
All I want to do is have the Linux box make its shares available to the Windows PCs. All the HOWTOs I've read make it seem easy. Is there an easier way? (e.g. guest access or something different).
Here are the stats of the machines
PC1 OS: Windows XP name: todd IP: dynamic currently 192.168.1.100 mask 255.255.255.0 workgroup: WORKGROUP
PC2 OS: Windows XP name: john IP: dynamic currently 192.168.1.102 mask 255.255.255.0 workgroup: WORKGROUP
PC3 OS: Linux FC4 name: localhost IP: dynamic currently 192.168.1.101 mask 255.255.255.0 workgroup: WORKGROUP
FWIW, although I have the swat service installed and running, I also cannot seem to access it at 192.168.1.101:901 on any of the XP machines. It will only work from localhost:901 on the Linux box. Could this be a related problem? All machines PING appropriately from one another telling me they are all at least connected.
I've read just about every HOWTO I could find on Samba and still can't get it working. Any help or guidance anyone could provide would be very, very welcome.

Detailed Description:
Breast feeding is suggested to give many benefits for babies and there are some initial prove that it might affect their future health, including the development of cardiovascular diseases. In Indonesia, breast feeding rates are very low, while there is a strong upsurge of cardiovascular disease. In this study, we propose to randomly allocate pregnant Indonesian women who plan to give breast feeding for no more than two months, to either care as usual or to a breast feeding empowerment program lasting to 6 months post partum. At the age of one year, all randomized offspring will undergo non-invasive echographic aortic vascular measurements and cardiovascular risk profiling. Measurements for assessing children's general health status will also be performed, including growth monitoring, repeated lung function test, and microbiomic sampling.
|Genders Eligible for Study:
|Accepts Healthy Volunteers:
Inclusion criteria
- Plan to breast feed for ≤2 months
- Residing in vicinity ≤ 5 km from the hospital/agree to comply to health visit schedule
- Telephone communication is possible
- No known HIV or active tuberculosis in mother
- Uncomplicated pregnancy

Braidwood Nuclear Generating Station Units 1 and 2 automatically shut down early this morning. Plant technical experts are working to determine the cause.
BRACEVILLE, Ill. – Braidwood Nuclear Generating Station Units 1 and 2 automatically shut down early this morning. Plant technical experts are working to determine the cause.
The automatic shutdowns occurred with all plant equipment operating as designed. The shutdowns resulted in steam release that may have been audible to people near the plant. Environmental experts are testing condensate and water in the system for tritium. Levels normally found in this system are a fraction of a percent of regulatory limits for airborne releases, which are part of normal plant operations.
Plant personnel notified local and regulatory authorities of the shutdown Monday morning. The shutdowns posed no threat to the health or safety of the public or plant personnel.
The Unit 2 turbine tripped off line about 2:06 a.m., followed 13 minutes later by a shutdown of the Unit 1 reactor.
"As this happened overnight, we understand our neighbors may have heard the venting steam and we want to make sure they know there is no cause for concern," said Braidwood Station Site Vice President Amir Shahkarami. "We appreciate their patience."
Tritium is an isotope of hydrogen with a weak level of radioactivity. It is formed naturally in the upper atmosphere, is a component of rain and is found in virtually all or earth's surface water. Tritium is produced in greater concentrations in commercial nuclear reactors.
Braidwood Generating Station is approximately 60 miles southwest of Chicago. The station's two nuclear energy units can produce a total of more than 2,300 megawatts net at full power - enough electricity to power more than 2 million homes.
Exelon Corporation is one of the nation's largest electric utilities with more than $17 billion in annual revenues. The company has one of the industry's largest portfolios of electricity generation capacity, with a nationwide reach and strong positions in the Midwest and Mid-Atlantic. Exelon distributes electricity to approximately 5.4 million customers in northern Illinois and southeastern Pennsylvania and natural gas to approximately 486,000 customers in the Philadelphia area. Exelon is headquartered in Chicago and trades on the NYSE under the ticker EXC.

CBS has debuted three new dramas every Fall since 2006-7. I'd expect them to do the same next Fall. So unless they have some schedule wizardry up their sleeves I haven't seen before (holding back Undercover Boss won't help!) they'll need to cancel three of their Fall 2012 dramas to make room for three more next Fall. With Made In Jersey gone, and Vegas a likely cancellation, that means one more Fall drama had to go.
With most of the decision making criteria for that choice hidden from the public, the news last week that CSI:NY would end its season in February to make room for Golden Boy tips my prediction for it into "likely canceled".
For the time being, I'm keeping both The Good Wife and The Mentalist as toss ups for renewal or cancellation. However unlikely it may be based on recent history (I believe The Unit in 2006 was the last CBS spring rookie to get a renewal), a renewal for Golden Boy would require another Fall 2012 drama to be canceled to make room for it in the Fall of 2013. I'll wait to see its spring ratings before jumping to conclusions. Commenters may feel free to jump at their leisure.
Why are Hawaii Five-0 and Blue Bloods "certain to be renewed"? Both dramas are in their third seasons and need a fourth to reach the "magic" 88 episodes for stripped syndication. Both are "certain to be renewed" for their fourth seasons next year. Read more about that here.
Better to Follow The Bear, Than Be Chased By Him. This season you can follow the Cancellation Bear on Twitter via @TheCancelBear. The Cancellation Bear will retweet all the Renew/Cancel Index post titles and links as well as engage in a little more back and forth banter than we do on our standard @TVbytheNumbers Twitter feed.
*shows no longer on the air have their Renew/Cancel Index "frozen" at the point they left the schedule.
** The Renew/Cancel Index does not attempt to predict shows ending because the cast or production company chooses to end them. These shows have the ratings for renewal, but rumored cast/production company moves may end the shows.
- - certain to be cancelled by May, 2013
- :cry:- more likely to be cancelled than renewed by May, 2013

The Renew/Cancel Index is the ratio of a scripted show's new episode adults 18-49 ratings relative to the new episode ratings of the other scripted shows on its own network. It's calculated by dividing a show's new episode Live+Same Day adults 18-49 average rating by the Live+Same Day new episode average of all the new scripted show episodes on the show's own network. The network's average ratings in the calculation are not time weighted (ex. hour long shows are not weighted twice what 30 minute shows are).
(F) -Fridays: Shows airing on Fridays were renewed with significantly lower than average Indexes.

Buzz: The Rangers Want To Send Prospects To Columbus
According to Pierre LeBrun at ESPN.com, the Rangers are unwilling to move Ryan McDonagh and/or Michael Del Zotto in a deal for Rick Nash.
He says that the Rangers plan of attack to acquire Nash is to overwhelm Columbus with prospects like Chris Kreider, Tim Erixon, JT Miller and a first round pick.
LeBrun does add that to make the salaries work, the Rangers would need to send a player like Brandon Dubinsky to Columbus.

WOONSOCKET — Jason Cropley usually gets off work in the morning, but when his graveyard shift ended Monday he had another job to do: free his car from its prison of snow.
Cropley, a security guard at Portola Tech, thought there might be trouble when he heard the rumble of snowplows passing the Fairmount Street mill with increasing frequency during the night. Sure enough, they buried his car, parked just a few feet from the edge of the road, behind a knee-high wall of grayish, lumpy snow.
"It was hardly snowing at all when I got to work, but around 3 a.m. you could hear the plows really starting to work it," said Cropley, a Woonsocket resident.
Mother Nature zinged scores of people like Cropley with her most potent blast of atmospheric ammo of the season as a nor'easter caught Rhode Island in its crosshairs, dumping 12 to 14 inches across the region over the holiday weekend. It left a heavy, high-drifting coating of the stuff, pushed by winds that occasionally gusted over 50 miles an hour in the Blackstone Valley — and even more powerful elsewhere in the region, according to the National Weather Service.
"It was a classic nor'easter, a major winter storm that moved up the coast," said Bill Simpson, a weather service forecaster. "Low pressure doesn't get much more powerful than this. We had some wind gusts out on the Cape in excess of 80 miles per hour."
Riding the jet stream from California a week ago, the storm marched across much of the nation en route to the mid-Atlantic, where it joined up with a low-pressure system moving up the coast from the Gulf and re-energized. Rhode Island was one of five states that saw blizzard conditions between Sunday night and mid-morning yesterday, including Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New York and Maine, as the center of the storm passed just off the coast of Nantucket.
As usual, the most snow fell in the northwestern part of Rhode Island, but the totals still didn't measure up to the amounts logged by the North Shore towns of neighboring Massachusetts, including 17 inches in Saugus, slightly less in East Boston. Worcester got a mere 9 inches.
Coming just four days after the first official day of winter, the storm was the most prolific snowmaker since last December, when up to 15 inches fell in parts of the state five days before Christmas. The snowfall averages for the latest blast of wintry fury may not have been as high, but this storm packed a more powerful punch overall, says Simpson.
The winds were a major factor in spot power outages just about everywhere, combining with heavy snow to knock down utility lines and tree limbs. National Grid said about 2,300 customers across the state lost power at the peak of the storm, but in most cases the problems were quickly rectified.
Although highways and secondary roads like Douglas Pike and Broncos Highway were in fairly good condition as dawn broke, many side streets in the Blackstone Valley remained slicked-up and treacherous for motorists through much of the day yesterday.
But if there was ever a perfect storm for the holidays, the Blizzard of 2010 was it, as it struck while schools were closed for the mid-winter break. Courts and state offices were also closed, as were municipal offices in Woonsocket and neighboring towns. And many private companies were giving workers Monday off for Christmas because the holiday fell on a Saturday.
Main streets may have looked like whiteout ghost towns but the dearth of school buses and commuter traffic seemed to translate into a comparatively low incidence of storm-related motor vehicle mishaps, despite the tricky driving conditions. Police in Woonsocket, North Smithfield and elsewhere in the region said the morning turned out to be mostly uneventful, with just a handful of minor sliding accidents.
"It's actually been very quiet," said Cumberland Police Dispatcher Michael O'Connor. "Just moving cars because of the parking ban."
As predicted, the snow vanished by mid-afternoon Monday, but not the wind. Forecasters were calling for the gusty conditions to stick around for another day or so, with a gradual tapering off and a return to high pressure. The good news is the sky gets bluer — very blue, in fact, by Tuesday — a day forecasters say will be sunny with an afternoon high temperature near 31. Nighttime lows will be in the teens, but they'll feel much colder as continued gusts up to 39 mph drive wind-chills into the range of 5- to 10-below zero, according to the weather service.
It stays sunny most of the week and, alas, there's a warming trend afoot. Yes, there's a slim chance of precipitation in the forecast for the holiday weekend but by then, it'll be so balmy the wet stuff's going to fall not as snow, but rain.
The forecast for New Year's Day: mostly sunny, with a high near 42 and a chance of showers at night. Forecasters put the odds of rain at about 30 percent for Saturday night and Sunday, which may be even warmer than New Year's Day.
But you don't need a weatherman to see what's coming. With all that snow on the ground, plus a warming trend and possible rain in the picture you won't need a snow shovel. You'll need boots, the kind that keep out slush and mud.
It could be a gloppy New Year.

Just curious to see who's just playing right now because its open beta, and who is seriously considering to play when it goes live...
Yes, when the price drops
No, I'd rather play CoH/CoX
I'll be playing, out of fangirlish-ness for a while at least. Depends on how fast they clean up the here and there problems.
I will be getting it.
I am just debating on the lifetime sub or not. If I do that, I have to worry about the wrath of the wife.
She was pi**ed at me when I bought the lifetime sub of LoTR before release.
Its a good deal if you plan to be at this for more than a year.
When you start on release, go to the dessert instead of Canada. Canada has a lot of buggy missions and NPCs. I have encountered zero problems with the NPC and missions in the desert.

If they can fix the animation mess ups, and stop screwing around with how the costumes look, then maybe.

American Pastoralby Philip Roth
Winner of the 1998 Pulitzer Prize for Fiction
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
As the American century draws to an uneasy close, Philip Roth gives us a novel of unqualified greatness that is an elegy for all our century's promises of prosperity, civic order, and domestic bliss. Roth's protagonist is Swede Levov, a legendary athlete at his Newark high school, who grows up in the booming postwar years to marry a former Miss New Jersey, inherit his father's glove factory, and move into a stone house in the idyllic hamlet of Old Rimrock. And then one day in 1968, Swede's beautiful American luck deserts him.
For Swede's adored daughter, Merry, has grown from a loving, quick-witted girl into a sullen, fanatical teenager — a teenager capable of an outlandishly savage act of political terrorism. And overnight Swede is wrenched out of the longer-for American pastoral and into the indigenous American berserk. Compulsively readable, propelled by sorrow, rage, and a deep compassion for its characters, this is Roth's masterpiece.
"Dazzling...a wrenching, compassionate, intelligent novel...gorgeous." Boston Globe
"At once expansive and painstakingly detailed....The pages of American Pastoral crackle with the electricity and zest of a first-rate mind at work." San Francisco Chronicle
"One of Roth's most powerful novels ever...moving, generous and ambitious...a fiercely affecting work of art." Michiko Kakutani, The New York Times
"[M]agnificent....This is Roth's most mature novel, powerful and universally resonant....The picture is chilling." Publishers Weekly
"[E]legiac and affecting....[P]assion seethes through the novel's pages. Some of the best pure writing Roth has done." Kirkus Reviews
"American Pastoral successfully shoulders its weighty public theme of American optimism undone by a propensity for the extreme. It also rounds up Roth's usual subjects — Jewish assimilation, bourgeois pretension and the shiksa's fatal allure....Roth's faithful, often piercing apprehension of the jagged emotional transactions between parent and child form this book's true achievement....Sadly though, this is another novel by a marquee author that suffers from intimidated or inactive editors. There are long sections of conversation...that just go on and on. Structurally, the book is poorly shaped. Roth doesn't circle back to the 90-page preamble featuring Zuckerman, the ending feels arbitrary and the gratifying if bracing payoff that American Pastoral vigorously promises throughout is denied. But, if you want a Philip Roth book that isn't just another bulletin from his life, this one is that and more." Albert Mobilio, Salon.com
"Roth is a masterly prose stylist...and there are many passages of fine language....But these strengths are indulged in a way that becomes the book's weakness. The abstracted treatment of ideas, the weighty, morally serious exposition, result in a novel that holds its material at arm's length from the reader." Ralph Lombreglia, The Atlantic Monthly
"Pastoral...is well crafted with vivid, crisp prose, but unlike [other Roth novels], it's empty....Once again, no one escapes the misery that personifies modern America." Ted Leventhal, Booklist
"Roth doesn't tell the whole story blow by blow but gives us the essentials in luminous, overlapping bits. In the end, the book positively resonates with the anguish of a father who has utterly lost his daughter. Highly recommended." Library Journal
About the Author
In 1997 Philip Roth won the Pulitzer Prize for American Pastoral. In 1998 he received the National Medal of Arts at the White House and in 2002 the highest award of the American Academy of Arts and Letters, the Gold Medal in Fiction. He has twice won the National Book Award and the National Book Critics Circle Award. He has won the PEN/Faulkner Award three times. In 2005 The Plot Against America received the Society of American Historians' Prize for "the outstanding historical novel on an American theme for 2003-2004." Recently Roth received PEN's two most prestigious awards: in 2006 the PEN/Nabokov Award and in 2007 the PEN/Bellow Award for achievement in American fiction. Roth is the only living American novelist to have his work published in a comprehensive, definitive edition by the Library of America. In 2011 he received the National Humanities Medal at the White House, and was later named the fourth recipient of the Man Booker International Prize.

The Dickey Market now that Hamilton is on the Angels
Matthew Cerrone, Lead WriterI've talked to some knowledgable people in baseball tonight, and it seems the Mets are in an interesting position here… since it looks like division rivals, the Rangers and Angels, are both still interested in R.A. Dickey.
By the way, I assume this situation is why Sandy Alderson has not been jumping through hoops and rushing to sign Dickey to a contract extension these past few weeks. Of course, if trade talks go no place, I think Alderson will quickly meet Dickey's demands and get a new contract done. But, even today, still, there is no rush… Alderson has to flesh out this trade market first.
The Rangers have always sounded like the best option for Dickey because they're most willing to trade young hitters. However, from what I can tell, the Mets aren't crazy about 1B-3B prospect Mike Olt or speedy center fielder Leonys Martin (the two players Texas is most likely to give up). From what I can gather, the Mets have concerns about Olt's transition to the outfield (especially in Citi Field).
And this is important: Alderson isn't going to trade Dickey or Jon Niese just to trade them. The way I understand it, he'd MUCH rather keep his pitching strong (and sign a free agent bat) than risk botching a trade.
As for the Angels, people in Los Angeles keep saying tonight that they're NOT going to trade Mark Trumbo this off season. They said the same thing about Peter Bourjos a few weeks ago, though, and I now hear from insiders that this is no longer the case. Bourjos can be had. And I'm not buying Trumbo either, frankly. It sounds to me like both, as well as Kendry Morales and pitching prospect Garret Richards, can each be had for the right starting pitcher. I don't know if the Mets are a perfect fit, but I do know the Angels like Dickey a lot because he's the best bang for the dollar, he gives them a different look, goes deep in games and can help protect the bullpen.
The Angels also have interest in Niese, by the way.
Speaking of Niese, while Toronto has some interest in Dickey, I'm convinced they prefer Niese (who they also had interest in a year ago).
These three teams and others are still looking for a starting pitcher, especially the Angels.
According to MLB Trade Rumors, it seems the Tigers and Cubs are about to outbid one another for free-agent RHP Anibal Sanchez. If this happens, I think Dickey becomes everyone else's next best option…

Live: Here at Citi Field
OK, I'm out… heading back home.
Terry Collins seems like a straight shooter. I like that. Also, he's very aware of what's been written about him of late, whether because he's reading it direct or was briefed by the team before talking with reporters. In either case, he obviously understands where expectations are for him, which I think is a good thing. I was led to believe he might be paranoid and timid with reporters. I didn't see that. He answered questions directly, specifically when asked about his time with the Angels. This will work for him, it might also work against him. It will be interesting to see how he navigates those moments during the season, when pressed with people questioning his decisions.
The most interesting part of the event, actually, had nothing to do with baseball, but with media. Collins talked briefly at the podium, i.e., what was on air on SNY and WFAN, then took questions from reporters. But, there were only a few questions. The Mets asked, 'Any more questions,' but nobody raised their hand, which was odd. So, it ended. Then, when meeting one-on-one with TV reporters, then print reporters, in what they call 'breakaways,' the questions spilled out and he was asked to provide answers on a variety of topics, all of which you'll see pop up on reporter's blogs and articles throughout the day. I wonder if this is a new strategy by the print guys?
In the end, Collins feels like someone from a different era. I love that he has an understanding and appreciation for the farm system. I think this will make for an interesting spring training, because I have to think he'll be more inclined to give a young minor leaguer a shot at a position, because he knows who they are, then someone totally unfamiliar with who is who. Also, he looks and sounds 'old school,' which is refreshing. I have no idea how he will connect with today's players. I can see it going either way. But, it's pretty clear he stands for 'winning,' playing baseball 'the right way,' 'hard work,' and taking 'pride' in what you do. I feel I'm going to enjoy these elements, and I think other fans will grow to appreciate it as well as we get closer and closer to the start of next season.

Updated at 11:38 am:
Terry Collins told TV reporters that he talked to David Wright by phone last night, and hopes to meet him here at Citi Field in the coming weeks. He intends to talk with the entire roster before Spring Training.
"I don't like losing," Collins said.
Updated at 11:15 am:
He's right, he is full of energy. Also, I feel like I'm listening to someone transported from the 50s, with his crusty adjectives and quickness, he speaks like an old-school baseball guy, which is actually kind of refreshing. I have no idea how it will translate with today's player, but, to me, it's fun to listen to.
Original Post at 10:50 am:
I'm here at the Terry Collins press conference in Citi Field, which is set to begin and air live on SNY at 11 am.
To say I'm eager to hear what he has to say, would be an understatement.

The games include Kaiho Shojo, a shooting game from Goichi Suda. There's also Rental Bukiya de Omasse—a game in which you are an arms dealer. Then there's Air Porter, a airport baggage simulator. The last game is Crimson Shroud, a fantasy action role-playing game.

Lately we've fielded invitations to all manner of fun summer activities--like all-girl weekend trips to Vegas and rooftop cocktail parties--and we've been in search of a suggestive-yet-soignee dress to wear to these outings. Thanks to an array of celebrities and tastemakers, such as Claire Danes and Hanneli Mustaparta, we think we've found the perfect solution: sheer-paneled frocks! These chic dresses strike a careful balance, exposing a flash of skin that's enticing without revealing too much. You'll surely feel the same after reading today's Trend Report and finding out how to nab this coquettish look on your own!On The Runway
Givenchy's Riccardo Tisci served up an array of sheer panels in the French fashion house's S/S 12 collection, ranging from tailored button-downs with transparent sleeves to skirts with see-through inserts. But we particularly loved the label's Tiered Chiffon Lace Top With Tails ($4145) in White paired with the Mini Skirt ($1330) in White and the Guerra Heels ($1150, available in Pink and Black & Nickel). The long-sleeved sweater allows you to stay covered up, but its sheer panels are slightly alluring, making this the ideal piece for a balmy summer evening.
On The Red Carpet
Recognizing how sheer panels are subtly seductive, yet sophisticated enough for formal occasions, a few fashionable femmes selected dresses with see-through inserts for their red carpet events. At the premiere of Safe in New York City in April, Sami Gayle sported Philosophy di Alberta Ferretti's Short Sleeve Illusion Neckline Knit Dress ($865, 310.652.9000) from the F/W 12 collection. The young actress (and our former Girl of the Month) put a monochromatic spin on her outfit with gray suede pumps and a clutch. While her shift dress is age-appropriate, its sheer neckline and feathery sleeves lend it a fashion-forward twist. Claire Danes also opted for a slightly sheer style in Narciso Rodriguez's Fuchsia/Black Silk Dress ($1895) at the Hysteria premiere at the Tribeca Film Festival in New York. Her dress' past-the-knee hemline is conservative, but it becomes provocative with a peek-a-boo inset at the bust! We're also smitten with the dress Hanneli Mustaparta wore to the Met Gala last month: Calvin Klein Collection's Gardenia Silk Satin/Mesh Bib Front Dress ($5995, 212.292.9000) from the S/S 12 collection, which was custom tailored to her exact measurements. The gown's long-sleeved, floor-length silhouette is offset by its plunging sheer front, revealing Mustaparta's matching Calvin Klein Collection underpinnings (which are part of the dress) and resulting in a subtle yet sultry evening look!
At Events
Sheer panels are also perfect for after-hours soirees, as Bella Heathcote and Astrid Berges-Frisbey recently demonstrated. At an after party for Killing Them Softly last month in Cannes, Heathcote sported Look 49 from Chanel's F/W Haute Couture 09 collection--a black gown with crystal-embellished cap sleeves and a sheer yoke. She kept the focus on her dramatic dress by accessorizing simply with rosette heels and Chanel Fine Jewelry's Fil de Camelia earrings and Tweed ring. Berges-Frisbey opted for a more subdued sheer look at the Chanel boutique inauguration in Paris earlier this year. The Spanish model/actress donned the label's beaded dress from the S/S 12 collection and a cropped jacket from S/S 11. Both Heathcote and Berges-Frisbey flaunted just a hint of skin with sheer-paneled frocks, but still channeled a ladylike, elegant vibe we adore.
On You/Dresses
Whether you opt to expose a wide swath of skin in a dress with a sheer bodice or just a glimpse with a few well-placed inserts, this see-through style is quite easy to attain! If you're seeking a daytime-appropriate dress, we suggest Kain's Indira Embroidered Silk-Chiffon Dress ($325), Robert Rodriguez's Sheer Striped Shift Dress ($455), or Max C's Sheer Panel Dress ($61). These three colorful frocks have laid-back silhouettes and understated sheer panels, making them ideal for brunches or garden parties. For dresses worthy of cocktail hour, ASOS' Midi Dress With Sheer Panel ($113), which features a peek-a-boo hem, and Richard Nicoll's Silk-Georgette Dress ($950), a bright pink frock with a sheer neckline, should do the trick! If you have a dressier occasion coming up on your social calendar, go for a bolder look in a gown with tantalizing transparent inserts, like T by Alexander Wang's Mesh Combo Midi Tank Dress ($200) in Black or BCBGMAXAZRIA's Magdalena Gown ($348).
On You/Tops
Want the sheer look, but don't want to commit to a dress? Channel today's trend in sheer-paneled shirts! Gucci's Sheer Panel Top ($991), worn with tapered trousers and ankle-strap heels, makes a great going-out ensemble, since its see-through neckline and sleeves are provocative without revealing too much. Depending on your workplace environment, you might be able to wear Kaelen's Sheer Tunic ($345), Modcloth's Cobalt and Pepper Top ($40), or Forever 21's Sheer Yoke Knit Top ($15) to the office, as long as it's paired with a cropped jacket and tailored pants. If you're seeking a relaxed sheer look for the weekend, try A.L.C.'s Faye Asymmetrical Contrast Sweater ($325) or BCBGeneration's Slouchy Dolman Sweater ($29). Simply team one of these knit sweaters with your favorite jeans and ankle boots for a stylish outfit that doesn't require much effort at all!--Tiffany Tse
