- How to Read a Study Record
Duchenne/Becker muscular dystrophy (DMD/BMD) is a genetic disorder that develops in boys. It is caused by a mutation in the gene for dystrophin, a protein that is important for maintaining normal muscle structure and function. Loss of dystrophin causes muscle fragility that leads to weakness and loss of walking ability during childhood and teenage years. A specific type of mutation, called a nonsense (premature stop codon) mutation is the cause of DMD/BMD in approximately 10-15% of boys with the disease. Ataluren (PTC124) is an orally delivered, investigational drug that has the potential to overcome the effects of the nonsense mutation. This study is a Phase 2b extension trial that will evaluate the long-term safety of ataluren (PTC124) in boys with nonsense mutation DMD/BMD, as determined by adverse events and laboratory abnormalities. The study will also assess changes in walking, muscle function, and other important clinical and laboratory measures.

WEST CARTHAGE — Wearing red T-shirts with the department's logo, nine members of the Champion Volunteer Fire Company Inc. with a lawyer in tow came before the Champion Town Council on Monday night.
David B. Garwood of Pinsky Law Group PLLC of Syracuse urged the town to change the way it disburses taxpayers' money to the fire protection district.
"Taxes collected for fire protection are not distributed in accordance with the law," Mr. Garwood said. He said about $116,000 is collected in taxes, yet only about $82,000 is paid out to the three departments — Champion, West Carthage and Copenhagen. According to Mr. Garwood, the remainder of the tax money is set aside and distributed only if and when the town sees fit.
"It is not your prerogative to keep a hold of money throughout the year," the lawyer said. "You are not allowed by law to make a profit." He noted that if the funds were in an account, they would be collecting interest.
Mr. Garwood claimed the fire company does not receive enough funds to be compliant with labor laws concerning safety, such as properly fitting air masks, radios for communication with interior firefighters and testing for hoses and ladders.
Fire Chief Louis J. Waite presented a map showing the division of the three departments within the fire protection district, noting the coverage area for each was not proportionate with the taxes collected and distributed.
"I thought we had a good working condition here," Town Supervisor Terry L. Buckley said to the chief, noting the fire department heads were supposed to meet with the supervisor to discuss realignment of the boundaries. "You received more money than ever before over the past two years. We've paid off almost all of your truck. If you don't want to continue, that's fine. Next year it will be a flat fee — a lot less than this year."
"We would like to get more of the piece of the pie," Mr. Waite said. "We feel a little shorted on our end. We'd like to get our fair share."
"Two-thirds of the time West Carthage shows up" for fire calls, Mr. Buckley told the fire chief. "You didn't do yourself good tonight."
Mr. Waite said he had not yet met with the other fire chiefs concerning the boundaries because of the upcoming Northern New York Firemen's Convention hosted by the West Carthage Fire Department. He told the board it would have the report on the boundaries by next month's meeting.
Following Monday's meeting, Mr. Waite said he has presented the board with a budget amounting to $93,804, which included turnout gear that needs to be replaced every 10 years, hose and ladder testing and other operating costs. According to fire company secretary Jennifer Waite, the company received $35,000 — "only enough to pay the utilities; not enough for safety."
Mr. Buckley said the budget was a "wish list" and the fire company was supposed to come before the board with individual requests, and there had not been any request for the radios mentioned by the lawyer.
"It would have been common courtesy to come to us first," Mr. Buckley said of the fire company bringing a lawyer to the meeting. "They must have money to burn if they can pay that guy."

Brenda Watson from Renew Life appeared The SUZANNE Show
Brenda Watson of Renew Life, a company dedicated to providing innovative, natural digestive care options, appeared on The SUZANNE Show this week to discuss the importance of dietary fiber. Her appearance, which is the first in a four-part series detailing the specific nutrients needed to achieve optimal digestive health and overall wellness, aired Wednesday, October 10th, at 7:00 am (ET/PT) on Lifetime Television.
Most people know that fiber is an important part of a healthy diet, but many may not fully understand its capacity to positively affect our health. According to Watson, consuming the proper amount of fiber each day not only keeps us "regular," it can also help facilitate weight loss, lower cholesterol, and even reduce a person's risk of heart disease, stroke, and other chronic conditions.
"Having more fiber helps rid the body of toxins," Watson explains, "which is one of the most important steps we can take towards preventing disease and feeling younger and healthier."
A diet that includes plenty of fruits and vegetables will provide a reasonable amount of fiber, but daily supplementation can maximize the benefits of this valuable nutrient. Watson reviews supplement choices, contrasting the gritty concoctions of the past with today's more palatable and versatile options. She also explains the different types of fiber and their function.
High fiber intake is part of Watson's "H.O.P.E." formula, a daily nutritional plan focusing on overall wellness that also includes Omega oils, Probiotics, and Enzymes. Tune in Wednesday for the first installment in this 4-part guide to better health and longevity. For more information about Renew Life, go to renewlife.com.

By Fareed Zakaria
If you look at Egypt moving forward, there's a great deal of emphasis placed on the various political parties and what they may stand for and what they're going to do. But we have to remember: The real obstacle to democracy in Egypt continues to be the people who run Egypt — a military dictatorship.
The military is still in power and they still dominate the economy — there are some estimates that they control between 10 and maybe even 30% of the economy. No one knows because it's all secret. But the point is unless the Egyptian military is genuinely willing to cede power, it doesn't really matter that much who wins the presidential election this week.
If you look at the Supreme Council of Armed Forces and the way in which it has controlled the press (punishing people who write exposés, for example) it's a very disturbing sign. And it shows you how important it will be not just to have elections in Egypt, but to have the other parts of a liberal democracy: the guarantees and rights of freedom of speech, freedom of expression, freedom of association. Let's not forget — these are the inner stuffings of democracy.
The most important aspect of Egyptian democracy-building will not be the elections. It will be the writing of the constitution and making sure there are guarantees for women, for minorities, for free speech and for free assembly.
For now, political Islam has an enormous hold over the populace. The reason you didn't see that for the last few decades was because Egypt was a military dictatorship and it didn't really matter what the people of Egypt felt.
But over time, I think that religiosity will be moderated, as it has in almost every Muslim country that has turned to democracy. Because given time, people realize: they really want good government, they want jobs, they want economic welfare, and the mullahs aren't always able to deliver those things. It doesn't matter so much what you preach about in abstract matters, what matters is governance.
Democracy in Egypt would be an earthquake in the Arab world — if it succeeds. And the reason is that Egypt is the heart and soul of the Arab world. Egypt is the place from which all culture emanates in the Arab world: the songs and music, the TV shows, the language in many ways.
Egypt is the birthplace of the two biggest political ideas of the modern Arab world. The first being Arab nationalism or Pan-Arabism, the idea of politically unifying Arab countries; and the second being Islamic fundamentalism and this whole idea of political Islam which came from the Muslim Brotherhood and Sayyid Qutb. These were Egyptian ideas which then spread throughout the Arab and then the Islamic world.
So if the next big idea to spring out of Egypt is a working Muslim democratic system, that would be seismic.
Does the idealism from the height of the revolution still exist? What will be the greatest challenge for Egypt's new president? Watch the video for more on the Egypt presidential election.
Name one country that is a Democracy.
If democracy is established, Egypt will become an Islamic state. Then the fun begins. Democracy being fine for us, we have been trying to convert the rest of the world to be as we. In several Arab counries Bin Laden would have won free election by a landslide.. And free elections gave us Obama. Where is the answer?
The United States is not a Democracy.
You implied in your comment that we are a democracy.
is too
For the first time, Fareed Zakaria is 100% wrong. Egypt cannot survive without its Army strong. Egypt is the only country in the World, that will NOT be invaded by a Foreign country – because of its strong Army. Imagine, if the US stops helping Israel? Israel will not stand a chance against. Israel!
To Egyptians and to most of the Muslim world, their lives are ruled first and foremost by the koran, whose democratic values are non-existent, at best.
Well at least they have something going for them.
Koran and democracy CANNOT co-exist, period.
Freedom and Democracy cannot coexist.
/* But over time, I think that religiosity will be moderated, as it has in almost every Muslim country that has turned to democracy. Because given time, people realize: they really want good government, they want jobs, they want economic welfare, and the mullahs aren't always able to deliver those things. */
Bingo. My thoughts exactly. The big question is: can Egypt make it out of this transition period with enough freedom to give people the ability to recognize when the system isn't working?
I cant think of one country in the world that is a democracy can you?
France, the U.S., the U.K., Israel, Iraq, Thailand, Sri Lanka, Nepal, Turkey, .......the list is a large one.
The United States is NOT e Democracy, neither are the other ones.
Hey idiots, the West (nor anywhere else) doesn't have a single functioning 'democracy' but we do live in many 'Republics'. The difference between the two forms of government are as vast as those between Communism & Theocracies.
Democracies exist at the whim of the masses, Republics exist by the rules of their laws, many of which cannot be changed. (i.e.- USA Bill of Rights, Declaration of Independence assertion that 'certain inalienable rights which are given by their Creator")
Republic is rule of law....democracy is mob rule. The Martin-Zimmerman affair proves we live in a Democracy masqurading as a republic.
You have a point unfortunately. Democracy is a sure way to an Oligarchy.
Democracy is a myth.
Egypt / first free election / embrace the image of the beast.
"Egyptians are voting in their first free presidential election, 15 months after ousting Hosni Mubarak in the Arab Spring uprising."
ref.: BBC News – Egyptians vote in landmark presidential election
Their old way, their previous way, of life has died and now they embrace another way of life, which they never did before.
They protested for, fought for, died for, and overturned their ruler for the belief in freedom of rights, freedom of religion, equality of rights....the way of the leader of the free world.
They now live by the way of the beast and have received its mark on their forehead.
Daniel wrote of this...Daniel 11: 42-43...
"...He (the last king of the north) shall stretch out his hand against the countries, and the land of Egypt shall not escape (survive the pressure).
His power (his way of life/ his belief/ his god of fortresses) will be over what was previously precious to the Egyptians, also the Libyans (nations of north Africa) and Ethiopians (nations of the land of Cush) shall follow him (his way of life) at his heels."
And soon , the glorified way of "freedom" and "equality of rights" will be declared as the "one true and good way of life" for all mankind....this belief will be placed between all nations and above the Holy Mountain of the One True Creator God and His Son The Christ...
...denying their Preeminence.
Ignore all the right wing fascist islamophobes who frequent these forums saying democracy in egypt wont work,
Democracy (though not clearly defined as to what it is) can work in Egypt, and will work if the Army lets the elected government take control.
Racist pigs think that democracy is only when you vote for what they think is "right and proper".
Democracy is Mob rule, why would anyone be in favor of that? The United States is NOT a democracy nor have we ever been a democracy why would we want that for someone else? can you name any country that currently has a democracy? No because there is none.
fareed is a pig and all muslims are pigs. kill them all
wish of a hindu, pig from hindered gutter artificial country called india in his hindu filthy soul, desire, never to be fulfilled till elimination of their hinduism criminality and hindu's, criminals.
oh yes, and iran will be honest and give up its drive for nuclear weapons too.
uh huh...suuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuure......
do you really think the average person is that stupid fareed?
Do you REALLY think that it was a good idea, or sent a good message when our Idiot-in-Chief invited the phuqing Muslim Brotherhood to the WHITE HOUSE???!!!
Good luck. Seriously.
If Egypt votes for an extremist, or an ultra-conservative fanatic, won't this put them back to square one?
If they vote for someone who is opposed to women's rights, to educating females, or a theocracy, won't this defeat their hopes of freedom?
I'll beleive Egypt is democratic when a man can publicly convert from Islam to Christianity, Judaism, Hinduism, Wicca, Athieism, or any other religion he chooses without fear of death, imprisonment, or vigilante violence. Until that happens, "freedom" and "democracy" will be nothing more than window-dressing on whatever pathetic regime is calling the shots.
I think Fareed Zakaria should get his facts straight, you cannot achieve a democracy with an Islamic government, Islam is a form of dictatorship, my prayers are for Egyptians to elect a liberal civilian leader and save Egypt. there is no moderate Islamic fundamentalist, he does not exist.
with great respect to Mr. Fareed Zakaria which I assume he is a Muslim I could not continue reading the rest of his article as soon as he started blaming the army for being so opposing to democracy, I see his support to bring the muslims brotherhood into power to take the Middle-East back to the 4th Century. I would like to educated you a little bit, for your knowledge 90% of the Educated and Intelectual Muslims in Egypt who represent 15% of the population do not support the muslims brotherhod or the Sharia Law that is why they are voting one of the army to the Presidency in Egypt if you read arabic please go to http://www.egnews.net and read the comments of the Egyptian people. Cheers
The real obstacle to Egypt's democracy is Islam.
One can never, ever reconcile Islam with women's rights, universal suffrage or Western democracy.
Oh, one more thing, what Western Democracy? If you are talking about America, we are a Republic not a Democracy. I find everyone thinking America is a democracy a joke. IF WE WERE, we wouldn't have polictical parties because everyone would be THINKING on their own and basising their vote on what they believe. IF WE WERE, every vote counts and there would be no Electorial College to elect the President. Get it right, please.
One obstacle is Islam. It specifies a government and that is not democracy. End of story.
The article is a joke anyway. What does political parties have to do with democray anyway? Even America is not a democracy, we are a REPUBLIC. So why do we keep saying we need to give other countries Democracy when we don't do it ourselves? Even our "democratic ways" are controlled by small groups of people.
President = Electoral Colege
Senator, House of Representative = Political Party
We were a Republic. Now we are governed by bankers and the ultrarich. Open your eyes.
There are only 3 things you need to know about Egypt.
1) They have 81 million people.
2) They import 40% of their food.
3) They are running out of money very quickly.
Nothing else matters. They can vote for anything they want. They are doomed.
Just desire to say your article is as surprising. The clarity on your submit is simply nice and i can think you are knowledgeable in this subject. Well with your permission allow me to grasp your RSS feed to keep updated with drawing close post. Thank you 1,000,000 and please continue the gratifying work.

42 U.S. Code § 1441 - Congressional declaration of national housing policy
prev | next
The Congress declares that the general welfare and security of the Nation and the health and living standards of its people require housing production and related community development sufficient to remedy the serious housing shortage, the elimination of substandard and other inadequate housing through the clearance of slums and blighted areas, and the realization as soon as feasible of the goal of a decent home and a suitable living environment for every American family, thus contributing to the development and redevelopment of communities and to the advancement of the growth, wealth, and security of the Nation. The Congress further declares that such production is necessary to enable the housing industry to make its full contribution toward an economy of maximum employment, production, and purchasing power. The policy to be followed in attaining the national housing objective established shall be:
(2) governmental assistance shall be utilized where feasible to enable private enterprise to serve more of the total need;
(3) appropriate local public bodies shall be encouraged and assisted to undertake positive programs of encouraging and assisting the development of well-planned, integrated residential neighborhoods, the development and redevelopment of communities, and the production, at lower costs, of housing of sound standards of design, construction, livability, and size for adequate family life;
(4) governmental assistance to eliminate substandard and other inadequate housing through the clearance of slums and blighted areas, to facilitate community development and redevelopment, and to provide adequate housing for urban and rural nonfarm families with incomes so low that they are not being decently housed in new or existing housing shall be extended to those localities which estimate their own needs and demonstrate that these needs are not being met through reliance solely upon private enterprise, and without such aid; and
(5) governmental assistance for decent, safe, and sanitary farm dwellings and related facilities shall be extended where the farm owner demonstrates that he lacks sufficient resources to provide such housing on his own account and is unable to secure necessary credit for such housing from other sources on terms and conditions which he could reasonably be expected to fulfill. The Department of Housing and Urban Development, and any other departments or agencies of the Federal Government having powers, functions, or duties with respect to housing, shall exercise their powers, functions, and duties under this or any other law, consistently with the national housing policy declared by this Act and in such manner as will facilitate sustained progress in attaining the national housing objective hereby established, and in such manner as will encourage and assist
(1) the production of housing of sound standards of design, construction, livability, and size for adequate family life;
(3) the use of new designs, materials, techniques, and methods in residential construction, the use of standardized dimensions and methods of assembly of home-building materials and equipment, and the increase of efficiency in residential construction and maintenance;
(4) the development of well-planned, integrated, residential neighborhoods and the development and redevelopment of communities; and

|The 'White Bomb' Hits Overnight; Blast of Snow
|Written by Steve Frank
|Friday, 01 February 2013 07:06
Surprise…that inch or so we were told we might get overnight grew to four to six inches—in a hurry. The overnight shift of area law enforcement said that the blast hit around 3 this morning, with roads suddenly covered and conditions suddenly treacherous. School schedules,
which started out on a two-hour delay were quickly changed to closings—even ASU calling off the 8 and 9am classes, and the Watauga CCC&TI classes not starting until noon. By 7, most of the snow had blown by, but snow showers are predicted for some of the day, then another blast of whiteness for tomorrow afternoon, so stay tuned to High Country Radio or check out GoBlueRidge.net for the latest.

MORRISTOWN – Experience the arts and celebrate the arrival of summer at the sixth annual Mares Wares Arts Fest Monday.
The back yard at Mares Wares Pottery, 3938 Route 37, will be transformed from noon to 8 p.m. into an outdoor gallery and entertainment venue hosting music, food, wineries, artisans and demonstrators.
The festival attracts upwards of 2,000 residents of Morristown, the surrounding areas, and Canada.
Each year the festival gets bigger and better. The event began in 2008, when it had 12 vendors.
This year, more than 75 artists will be displaying and selling their art in a wide range of mediums, including pottery, jewelry, quilts, wine tasting, and woodworks. The event will even include a psychic or two.
Artisans and participants are by invitation only now, organizer Karan M. Cross said. We try to get a little bit of everything, so we do not overload in each category.
In addition to the usual favorites, the festival will feature unique treasures such as handcrafted leather and flutes to homemade, organic dog treats.
The arts festival is about celebrating the arts and creativity in all its various forms, be it food, wine, bread making, wool spinning, or growing organic produce, Ms. Cross said.
We began with the idea of promoting local art, and it snowballed from there, Mares Wares owner Mary Ann Evans said. We found that there was so much hunger for diverse artwork.
Demonstrations will include pottery wheel work, raku firing, rug hooking with Helen Condon, chair caning with Bill Balling, and Tracy Cox of Inlay Design Studio and Custom Guitars will be demonstrating with custom stringed instrument design and inlay.
This year, childrens activities and entertainment will include Home Again Farms alpacas, Fragile Planet Wildlife Foundation with a selection of exotic creatures, pony rides, face painting, and puppet shows available throughout the day.
No matter how big the event becomes, it will always be about the artists, the organizers said.
One of the driving forces behind setting up the artisan part of the show with higher-end, quality handcrafted products was the group, Artisans of the River Valley. The group formed over six years ago hoping for a better local and public venue for their artwork beyond a craft fair.
As it was when it first began, the arts festival is free to the public.
Mares Wares is all about sharing creativity and promoting everybody, Ms. Evans said. If youve got a creative talent, let us help you get it out there. Were networkers in the art community. We find like people who like like things. This is a great event for all people who like pottery, artwork, music, good food, books, and entertainment.

UBS to sell CEFS International business to Montagu Private Equity
UBS today announced that it has signed an agreement with Montagu Private Equity to sell its Corporate Employee Financial Services (CEFS) International business. The terms of the deal will not be disclosed. The sale is expected to close in 2014 and does not impact UBS's US-based Equity Plan Advisory Services (EPAS) business.
Zurich/Basel, 19 December 2013 – CEFS International, part of UBS Wealth Management, provides administrative services for employee equity plans to around 100 corporate clients in Europe and Asia. The agreement represents another step in UBS's effort to reduce the complexity of its operations.
CEFS International will be legally separated from UBS and transferred into its own legal entity. The transfer and sale is expected to be completed in 2014, subject to regulatory approvals. UBS expects the vast majority of current CEFS International employees to transfer to the buyer.
UBS's US-based Equity Plan Advisory Services (EPAS) business, remains an integral part of UBS Wealth Management Americas' strategy and is unaffected by this transaction. EPAS provides equity compensation services to US-domiciled, multinational corporate clients and will continue to actively support and pursue current and prospective clients.

Cherry adds "Don't you remember the last time it was half a season and New Jersey won the Cup? It was a sprint not a marathon. Play within their own conference. Lots of action. The guys know every game is important. Won't have the half season blahs. It will be terrific! They will go to the brink and then settle.

The high-pitched sound that had City Hall buzzing last month may be quieting down.
A representative from Hyde-Stone Mechanical Contractors, the Watertown company that was paid $187,000 to install the high-efficiency heating, ventilation and air conditioning equipment last summer, recently came to see what could be done to solve the noise problem.
To quell the noise, a neoprene soft gasket material was placed on some equipment. It seemed to work, City Engineer Kurt W. Hauk said.
More of that material may be installed to see if it will do the trick to stop the high-pitched hum, he said Thursday.
Were keeping our fingers crossed and see how it goes, Mr. Hauk said.
If it does not work, some wrapping material may be placed around piping that runs inside the buildings walls from the basement to the third floor.
Hyde-Stone will pay for the neoprene material, but it would be up to the city to pay for the wrapping material, Mr. Hauk said. Extra money not used in the HVAC project could pay for that material, however.
Mr. Hauk said he does not know whether anyone can be blamed for the problem. Last month, Mayor Jeffrey E. Graham and Mr. Hauk disagreed over whether the company responsible for the noise should pay to fix the problem.
In recent months, City Hall employees have complained that the noise is annoying and disrupts them during work. They have described the noise as being worse in a second-floor office, in a womens restroom and in the city clerks office.
The city purchased a chiller and other equipment from Maryland-based HVAC company Trane for $85,824, and had Hyde-Stone install it. The Syracuse engineering firm Sack & Associates drew up the specs for the project.
Mr. Hauk said he had no inkling the sound was going to occur until the chiller in the system used to cool off the building was tested in late April, and the noise began soon afterward.
The culprit is a vibrating pipe that runs from the basement, where the chiller is located, to the roof.

When the world getspummeledby the paranormal, we call the Ghostbusters. When the world is about to be destroyed by an evil demi-god and his alien army, we assemble the Avengers.
In order to stop Loki from diminishing Earth into crispy, charred bits, Nick Fury (Samuel L. Jackson) summons an all-star lineup of superheroes to save humanity.
But bringing Captain America, Thor, the Incredible Hulk, Iron Man, the Black Widow and Hawkeye together isn't an easy task -- and that's what takes up quite a large chunk of the film's first hour. Thor, Loki's brother, isn't even on the same planet when the team starts coming together.
Photos: Avengers production in Cleveland
The Avengers aren't a team of best buds. Far from it. Their personalities and egos clash in so many ways that they truly resemble an over-the-top dysfunctional family. They squabble like family, tease each other like family and, most importantly, come together like family when they really need to.
Although the Avengers try to plug Loki's plans, a wormhole opens and his brood of spaceling baddies find themselves screeching into New York City ready for war.
Photos: 'The Avengers' movie premiere
The result is a symphony of explosions, fire, fights and everything else fanboys and fangirls drool over.
While the filmmakers needed to tie in multiple major characters to tell this story smoothly, the flick does run a tad too long. The 142-minute runtime is filled with plenty of fun, action-packed moments, but it's also drawn out beyond what's necessary in several spots.
Despite the length of the film, it is an overall fun ride from start to finish. It's a lean-back-in-your-seat, summer-style, forget-everyday-life, popcorn-snackworthy action movie. Even if you're not a Marvel maven, the story is energetic, exciting and laugh-out-loud funny.
Guide: Spotting Cleveland in the 'Avengers'
Those seeing it in 3-D will notice the effect is not hokey whatsoever. There's nothing ridiculously flying at the screen for the sole purpose of enhancing the 3-D. Instead, the third dimension does simply that -- create depth. Do you need to see it in 3-D? Not really. The extra dimension really isn't as captivating as we've seen in other movies like "Avatar." If you do see it in 3-D, take off your specs sporadically throughout the movie and you'll notice you can see the film without much blur at all. That goes to show you there are many scenes where the 3-D doesn't even matter.
Photos: 'Avengers' movie images
As far as the superheroes, they each share a fair portion of screen time, but the Hulk and Iron Man are easily the stand-out stars of the squad.
Unlike his recent incarnations, the Hulk is actually fun to watch in this movie. Mark Ruffalo's mild-mannered portrayal of tech genius Bruce Banner is the best we've seen in years. Different from the others among him who are ego maniacs when it comes to their abilities, Banner is clearly ashamed of his green alter-ego, which he constantly refers to as the "other guy." His struggles to subdue that "other guy" from erupting actually makes you want to see him transform even more -- and when it happens, his time on screen is worth every moment. His intensity is palpable and his anger off the charts, but there's also a welcomed sense of humor in that big, green guy who delivers some of the best (literal) punchlines in the movie.
Write your own review of 'The Avengers'
With Iron Man, there is nobody better to play billionaire Tony Stark than Robert Downey Jr. The arrogance that oozes out of his character creates a quick-witted, sharp-minded comic relief at times in the movie when it's least expected. And when it comes to egos, Stark's may be the biggest. He often acts as if he's better than the rest of the superheroes, but admires the Hulk and strives to see his fury unleashed.
Finally, Tom Hiddleston is superb as Loki. His snarky smirkshowcases hissupervillain status better thananyvile verbiage that flows off his tongue. Possibly the best performance in the entire picture.
One hint, stick around through the credits. There's a surprise for the hardcore comic fans about midway through and a comical scene at the very end for those who decided to stay around long enough to see it.
Through it all, one thing is certain. Whether you think this movie is super or stale, there is not enough power in any superhero to stop fan forces from filling the box office with mountains of cash.

THE CONVERSATION CONTINUES…Last summer's Open Houses; Weight update
Doug Weight out 6 weeks with MCL sprain.
Looks like we will continue this conversation on the rebuild into the night. While I commented twice in the rebuild thread, I figured I'd move this one up to the top in case you don't read those.
To the fans looking for someone to pay or at least explain themselves for this 30th-place season, when it comes to ownership/management, remember something. The Islanders hosted monthly Open Houses from last May – September where they told anyone who'd listen exactly what they were going to do. I was still working there for the first one. (Okay, so was Ted Nolan).
The Islanders said they were going to build around the draft and develop players. They said they would augment with free agents (they signed Streit and Weight), but were not going to patch holes when times got rough – injuries, poor play. Their one mistake was showing a video at early open houses of the top draft prospects available, giving die-hard fans the impression they were delighted to be locked in at 5. I know I fell for it (I like Josh Bailey, but I'm still not sold on the move).
The entire enterprise was so uniquely up-front and direct, anyone watching Teddy's body language at the first one – and then noticed he wasn't there for a few – wasn't shocked when he didn't return for a third season.
While I'm sure they didn't plan on all the injuries and being in the mix for the first draft pick, it is completely fair to kill the Islanders all you want for this season. Cripes, they have won 6 of their last 34 games; I don't think even the Islanders Ice Girls will argue against you.
Some of the Open House footage may still be archived on Islanders TV if you weren't there. You can't say the Islanders didn't come out and tell you exactly what they were going to do. We will get a better indication on March 4, at the June draft and again the first week of July, but so far you can't say the Islanders have strayed from their publicly-stated plan.
Can we do another 100? Comments. Thanks to islesblogger for the photo.

Product Details
Cadillac Escalade 1999-2000, USR Series Sport Slotted Front Vented Rotors by EBC®. Outside Diameter: 294.64mm (11.6") x 33mm (1.3"). Bolt Pattern: 140mm. 1 Pair. These replacement brake rotors feature multiple slots in a narrow, more angled pattern to create a quieter running surface with a superior level of cooling. Vented center provides even temperature moderation to avoid warpage, and protective finish provides corrosion resistance on non-contact areas. The anodized layer is designed to disappear in the area that the brake pads contact the rotor. Recommended for use with EBC Greenstuff, Yellowstuff, and Redstuff pads.
- Created to be the lowest noise brake rotors designed for performance applications
- Recommended by EBC for use with Greenstuff, Yellowstuff, and Redstuff pads
- Angled slots on rotor surfaces allow superior expulsion of heat, water, brake dust, and friction gases
- Two sets of slots on rotor surfaces provide even pad wear which creates flat, parallel rotor wear without ridges from developing
- Vented centers feature an aperture for air to pass between both rotor sides for superior cooling
- Black GEOMET and NITROTHERM™ anti corrosive finish
- Brake rotors are unidirectional to the left and right side of your vehicle to maximize effectiveness
- EBC recommends a 500 mile break in period with lighter braking application
- 6-month/3,000 mile manufacturer warranty against premature rotor wear under normal driving conditions
- Ensure increased pad bite and improved air circulation
- Clean and de-glaze pad surface for optimum pad coefficient of friction
- Create an escape route for debris, dust, and water
- Reduce stopping distances in wet weather
- Offer much faster heat dissipation
- Resistant to warping and fading
USR Series Sport Slotted Rotors are created for the enthusiast who wants low noise from their brakes while doing a higher level of aggressive driving or towing. Two sets of shallow slots cover all areas of the rotor surfaces so both pads and rotors wear evenly all the way across – preventing the grooves and ridges from building up that cause frictional noise. They also effectively increase the level of heat, water, brake dust, and friction gas expulsion necessary to keep rotors cool and functional during street performance driving in any weather. Additionally, USR Series Sport Slotted Rotors feature a vented center for air to pass between both rotor sides, so metal expands evenly during use and the chance of warpage is minimized. USR Series Sport Slotted Rotors are designed for use with EBC Greenstuff, Yellowstuff, and Redstuff pads. All areas of the rotors have a protective coating to prevent corrosion, and should be fully ready for use after the first 500 miles of moderate brake application.
The world-renowned brake experts at EBC have developed over a dozen variations of performance brake components, and each one is crafted to provide a superior level of grip, wear, and performance for uniquely different vehicle sizes, weights, and applications. When the company engineers who created pads that can survive 1,800 degree temperature test runs turn their attention to creating equally impressive brake rotors, it will be finely tuned to deliver impressive looks behind your wheel spokes and performance that's as equally impressive on your last run as your first. If you've been let down by underperforming brake rotors that didn't last as long as they should, USR Series Sport Slotted Rotors are designed for the long run. If installed at the same time as a new set of EBC brake pads, it's not uncommon for these rotors to last the length of the first set with more than enough life to be used with a second set. USR Series Sport Slotted Rotors are the result of relentless testing and refinement, and when better brake rotors are built it is EBC that will build them.164.12Brand: EBC Brakes Part Number: USR7013 UPC: 840655083573 This part is compatible with 54 vehicle(s)
Founded and based in the United Kingdom, EBC Brakes is a premiere producer of brake components for passenger cars, trucks, buses, motorcycles, ATVs, and even scooters. EBC brake pads and rotors are preferred by fleet operators of emergency vehicles, livery cabs, and by discerning racers all over the world for the effective grip, superior lifespan, resistance to heat buildup, and proper fit they deliver. From the company president down to every employee, EBC strongly believes that brake components that are truly superior must be constructed from the most effective materials and also offer the lowest environmental impact possible. Likewise, EBC will never put their name on any products that cut corners in development, quality control, or are manufactured using sweatshop working conditions where human rights are not valued. When you want the best, most responsible brake components that meet or exceed OEM specification without dealer OEM markup, EBC Brakes is the only name you need to know.

OGDENSBURG As he prepared to take the helm as city manager, John M. Pinkerton was surprised by a long-established practice.
A few days before his first City Council meeting last November, an Ogdensburg police officer came to his home to deliver a copy of the agenda.
Wow, he thought in disbelief. That was my reaction, Mr. Pinkerton said Friday. I got a police officer delivering the mail to me.
No more. Mr. Pinkerton, Mayor William D. Nelson and all six members of the council no longer have their twice-monthly meeting agendas and weekly updates home-delivered to them by the police. Instead, all of the information is electronically transmitted to their iPad tablets, supplied by the city at $399 apiece.
The councilors have been paper-free since February, and they love it.
I think its great, Councilor William D. Hosmer said. I like it electronically because Im always on the go. It saves the city money.
Councilor Jennifer Stevenson, pointing to the bulky, agenda-crammed three-ring binders in her office, agreed.
I find that the electronic access to my city update is much easier, economical and more secure, she said. In the past, a packet would be delivered every Friday. That involved the time of a city police officer and a person to make all the packets. Now, I can access my update and other information anywhere, anytime. I can save the updates and city information on the secure iPad.
The iPad way, Ms. Stevenson said, is convenient and environmentally friendly.
It is then accessible and easier to search if during a meeting I need additional information, she said. I can also answer questions for city residents more timely as the information is with me if I am at home or even away at a conference. We are also being more green-friendly by not using as much paper and gas to deliver the packets.
Mr. Pinkerton concedes that the savings are modest, about $2,500 a year.
Savings is savings, the city manager said, adding that he was especially pleased to spare the $22.99-an-hour cost of police officers time.
Theyre being taken away from doing their jobs, Mr. Pinkerton said.
Planning and Development Director Andrea L. Smith is also going electronic with the agendas, staff reports, meeting minutes and resolutions for the Planning Board and the Zoning Board of Appeals.
I think its really worked out well, she said.
