He's conquered television, starred on the silver screen, and surfed the internet. Now, comedian extraordinaire Jerry Seinfeld has set his sites on Broadway….off Broadway, to be exact. Seinfeld will direct "Long Story Short," a comedic monologue by SNL alum Colin Quinn. The play explores "2,000 years of human civilization and the rise and fall of its great empires, stretching from ancient Rome to Walmart." It is hoped that Seinfeld's name recognition will translate to ticket sales. Most Off Broadway shows close after only a week, sending the vanquished cast members back home to flyover country with their pathetic hopes of stardom dashed. This is not Seinfeld's first encounter with the Great White Way. In 1998, he closed out his old stand-up routine with a limited run entitled, "I'm Telling You For The Last Time." In addition, Monk's Coffee Shop, the fictitious hangout for the "Seinfeld" characters, is located at West 112th Street and Broadway. Not too bad for a guy whose only knowledge of high culture comes from Bugs Bunny cartoons. (Variety) See video of Jerry Seinfeld's Broadway debut after the jump.

"So then I sez to her, I can pay to have you killed."People is reporting that Charlie Sheen will serve a minimum of fifteen days in jail for chasing his wife with a knife on Christmas Eve and threatening to kill her. That hardly seems fair. IT WAS CHRISTMAS. The most stressful time of year. Who here hasn't wanted/tried to kill their girlfriend/wife/sorority-girls-who-now-inhabit-your-childhood-home during the Christmas season? If you don't raise your hand, you're a liar.But don't worry. Charlie's time in the pokey won't prevent him from earning a multi-million dollar paycheck for spouting off lame sexual euphemisms before canned gasps, chuckles, and wolf whistles. The plea deal will allow him to serve his time before "Two and a Half Men's" shooting schedule reconvenes. Thank God! Not the real God that we all love. One of those sinister evil ones.
Always go with the vampire.P.T Anderson's untitled Scientology movie is looking for a daughter for Philip Seymour Hoffman's character, and none of the prospects are bearded or slovenly. According to Production Weekly, Amanda Seyfriend, Emma Stone, and "True Blood's" fiery redhead Deborah Ann Woll are all on P.T.'s casting shortlist, a list that I imagine is scrolled in ash or bodily fluid because why would he use boring ink.PW also reported last week that Reese Witherspoon had been offered the role of the mom. I suppose if you add her genes to the mix, one of the above girls is a viable candidate, but we better at least see the occasional mustard stain to be convinced Hoffman is Papa. (ThePlaylist)
Antoine Fuqua has announced that his next project will be a biopic focusing on the life of rapper Tupac Shakur. Last week it was believed that Fuqua would reunite with Bruce Willis for The Tomb as his next project, but now Fuqua describes that project as "a conversation I've been having with Bruce." Another recent conversation between Fuqua and Willis regards Doritos Late Night All Nighter Cheeseburger Flavored Tortilla Chips. How do they make those things taste exactly like a cheeseburger???Fuqua kept things real with Digital Spy:"It looks like we're doing Tupac Shakur's movie next in September, that's what I've been starting up and working on now. I've been working on that for a while with Morgan Creek and Jim Robinson. I just got the greenlight from him and we're going in September. I've just started to prep that."The director doesn't have any casting choices in mind yet, but hopes to find an unknown for the role. Before he even asks, I officially take myself out of the running. I tried to do the Tupac verse from "California Love" at karaoke recently and failed miserably. And my head was way too big for the bandana. On account of my intellect and all.
Pauly D. looks as sober as a judge.BREAKING NEWS: Someone from the "Jersey Shore" cast is hitting the booger sugar. Radar is reporting that while filming the second season of the juiced, tanned, and greased show in Miami, one of the gang played in the snow. The identity of the culprit is being kept under wraps, but police are utilizing the tried and tested method of throwing rocks on South Beach and trying not to hit a cokehead. It's a numbers game at this point."Miami is obviously a big drug city," one source told RadarOnline.com, "and when this cast member want (sic) to score, it wasn't hard."Narc! Narc!"Finding someone to buy drugs from in South Beach is as easy as asking for it," the source said. "It's not hard and everyone is discreet."Another Narc!"A connection was made and that's all it took," the source told RadarOnline.com. "A lot of things were done in code. Other people knew about it but no one ratted out this person."I don't know about you guys, but I've had enough of these accusations. I'm going to go mow my mother's lawn. **Walk-runs into bathroom to flush stash**
Breast-lover McG has picked up the rights to produce an adaptation of Kody Keplinger's teen novel The DUFF, under his Wonderland Sound and Vision banner, the shingle responsible for "Chuck," "Supernatural," and "Human Target." For those not fluent in mean-spirited teenager, DUFF stands for "designated ugly fat friend." Or in McG's case, Brett Ratner.The DUFF tells the story of an unpopular girl who falls into the arms of the popular boy she believes she hates. Before everyone gets grossed out at the thought of an ugly person finding love and happiness, bear in mind that this will be a feature film so the lead will merely be "Hollywood ugly." Which means Miranda Cosgrove with braces or glasses or… [shudder] both. (Variety)
With the release of Splice this Friday and the introduction of the film's monster Dren, played by model and actress Delphine Chanéac, we're being treated to another marginally hot yet horribly wrong murderous beast for two hours of cleavage and mayhem. And while it's awesome that the vampires and werewolves in Twilight all look like they should be trying to sell you sweater vests, most movie beasts have no business trying to stir up unwholesome feelings in you. And yet, despite how obvious it is that nothing that can eat you should give you a boner, filmmakers keep slipping dirty little things in there.Aliens
With all the focusing on who will or will not be objectified in Transformers 3, we've lost sight of another important issue. Will someone accessorize their tube top with a gun holster in Resident Evil: Afterlife? Answer is yes. Actress Milla Jovovich tweeted that Sienna Guillory will return to the role of Jill Valentine in the sequel."So to answer many of your questions in one fell swoop, yes! The gorgeous and talented Sienna Guillory is back as Jill Valentine in RE4!!!" That's pretty much what I just said. You guys could have just taken my word for it. Jerks. In other Resident Evil news, ultimate-re has released a new "3D" poster for the movie. But be warned, it's 3D in the same sense that the "Lost" finale supplied closure.CHECK OUT THE POSTER AFTER THE JUMP…
When Guillermo del Toro dropped out of the directors chair for The Hobbit, one replacement immediately came to mind: Peter Jackson. But Jackson seems dead set against directing the prequel to the Lord of the Rings trilogy unless his presence is absolutely necessary."If that's what I have to do to protect Warner Bros' investment, then obviously that's one angle which I'll explore." This assumes that it's even possible. He explains, "The other studios may not let me out of the contracts." Currently, once such contract has Jackson directing the third installment of the upcoming Tintin series. Will Tintin, the tale of an effeminate, Nazi sympathizing Belgian and his little white dog, prove to be as lucrative as The Hobbit, the long awaited adaptation of one of the most popular fantasy books in history? Only time will tell. (CinemaBlend)
Martial Arts star Tony Jaa, best known for his work in the film Ong-Bak, has joined a Buddhist Monastery in Surin, Thailand. The move comes after a failed attempt at directing the first Ong-Bak sequel, and the poor box-office showing of Ong-Bak 3. The now bald actor took his vows on May 28th and will serve as a monk for an unknown amount of time.I sincerely hope that this trend makes its way to Hollywood. After the disappointing failure of Sex and the City 2, it would be nice to see the cast forced to join a Catholic convent deep in the Italian back country, or to have Shia LaBeouf commit ritual suicide to alleviate the shame he feels for Indiana Jones 4 and Transformers 2. God be praised! (SlashFilm)
Much to the delight of teenage boys everywhere, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley was named as Megan Fox's replacement for Transformers 3. And to commemorate Rosie's new job, her former employer, Victoria's Secret, has put out this video featuring the lingerie model's greatest hits. After all, what better way to celebrate her impending objectification at the hands of Michael Bay than with an objectifying underwear ad/spank film? And based on her performance in the ad, I'm smelling Oscar! Wait, no. That's smegma. See Rosie Huntington-Whiteley's acting talent on display after the jump.

"What's that I see, MGM? Me droppin' your ass!"Guillermo Del Toro has officially stepped away from directing duties on The Hobbit, a film that for the past two years has really been more of a wish than an actual project. Guillermo made the announcement on The Lord of the Rings fansite TheOneRing.net:"In light of ongoing delays in the setting of a start date for filming "The Hobbit," I am faced with the hardest decision of my life. After nearly two years of living, breathing and designing a world as rich as Tolkien's Middle Earth, I must, with great regret, take leave from helming these wonderful pictures."He said he would continue collaborating on the scripts with Peter Jackson, Fran Walsh and Phillippa Boyens. Guillermo decided to leave the project due to the fact that most directors enjoy directing movies and floundering MGM doesn't have the cheddar to make The Hobbit a reality. Sure, they say they'll have the cheddar eventually, but if the company were dealing with a bookie, all of that lion's legs would be broken and his cubs would blindfolded and gagged in a room with leaky pipes. Lesson: don't make promises you can't honor. Now go back to your burgers and hot dogs, readers.
A cheap and tired joke? Perhaps, but screw you! I'm working on a holiday!A film about an ogre, a donkey, an overweight pussy and woman who alternates between hot and disgusting ended up losing to Shrek Forever After at the weekend box-office. Sex and the City 2 took in an estimated $32.1 million (Friday to Sunday), compared with Sherk's $43 million.The poor showing by SATC2 seriously calls into question any hope of a third installment, which is the best news I've heard all month. However, Sex fans can take solace in the fact that they did better than Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time, which brought in only $30.1 million despite a budget rumored at $200 million. (HitFix)
Dennis Hopper has died at the age of 74 due to complications from prostate cancer. The actor best known for his roles as manic, narcotic enthusiasts started his career playing tamer characters. He starred as the son of wealthy rancher Rock Hudson in Giant, and a convict in Paul Newman's corner in Cool Hand Luke.It was his turn as a hippie biker in Easy Rider, a hippie journalist in Apocalypse Now, and oxygen-sucking Frank Booth in Blue Velvet that made us all realize what Hopper was preparing for his entire career — blowing up Keanu Reeves in Speed. Or playing King Koopa in Super Mario Bros. I get those two roles mixed up. Either way, let's hope he's at the pearly gates right now giving St. Peter a pop quiz. Hot shot.You'll be missed, Mr. Hopper.
If MTV keeps up these humorous bits I might just watch their movie awards show this season. Aziz Ansari and Tom Cruise have been killin' it. Yesterday we saw Cruise as Tropic Thunder's Studio Exec Les Grossman rip the pants off a Risky Business version of himself, and now he's telling Rob Pats to not touch a single hair on his oily scalp. A good mane can get a man far in this world. Example: Rob Pats. Check out the promo after the jump. The "MTV Movie Awards" airs June 6.

Tom Cruise dons a fat suit again to play Tropic Thunder studio exec Les Grossman in this promo for the "MTV Movie Awards." Apparently Les was a producer on the set of Risky Business, and it was his brilliant idea for Tom Cruise's character Joel Goodsen to slide in the room in his tighty-whiteys. I wonder what it's like to slap the ass of a younger version of yourself? I'm pretty sure Time Cop rules apply and you get sucked up into your own butthole. Hey, blame physics, not moi. Check out the promo after the jump.
One of these men has an enlarged prostate. No you're not looking at a pharmaceutical campaign, that's the new Legends Poster for The Expendables. It's about a bunch of men who do mercenary work in between trips to the bathroom for wee wee. I kid, I kid, don't stroke out. In fact, in the new sneak peak of the movie, the guys are bruising more ass than whippersnappers one-third their age. "The Boys Are Back in Town" by Thin Lizzy also helps with the playful tone of the footage. If they used Linkin' Park for the backing track, then we'd know shit is about to get real. Check out the sneak peak after the jump. The Expendables works its way into theaters August 13, 2010.
Gary Coleman has upstaged Corey Feldman once again. Just minutes after posting the trailer for Feldman's new Lost Boys movie, we received word that Gary Coleman had passed away.He was hospitalized earlier this week after suffering a brain hemorrhage caused from a fall he took at home. Coleman's 24-year old wife/sparring partner Shannon Price made the decision to pull the plug on him this morning. He passed at 12:05PM MST.Best known for his role as Arnold Drummond on "Diff'rent Strokes," Coleman will always be remembered as the Transformers to Emmanuel Lewis's Go-Bots. He was 42. (TMZ)
Survival of the Dead R, 90m., 2010 Cast: Kathrine Munroe, Kenneth Welsh, Richard Fitzpatrick, Devon Bostwick and Alan Van Sprang Written and Directed by George A. Romero Survival of the Dead is so cartoonish, that you wouldn't be surprised to see the cast of Looney Tunes popping out of nowhere and blasting away some Zombies. Marking his 6th official journey into the world of the undead, legendary filmmaker George A. Romero, creates a hybrid Z-picture that can be decribed as part Western, part cartoon, and part iconclastic horror movie.MORE OF THE REVIEW AFTER THE JUMP.
Beat it, Feldman!! As you can tell by the sound of "Cry Little Sister" pumping out of your speakers, here is the trailer for Lost Boys: The Thirst. Corey Feldman returns as Edgar Frog, who reteams with his brother Alan to fight the war on vampire drugs. More importantly, the film co-stars Tanit Phoenix (pictured above left). If you don't know who that is, look her pictures up and cancel your plans for tonight. The only thing preventing this from being a blockbuster is the fact that Corey Feldman is starring in the Vin Diesel role. If a movie features wall-running and the line "If I'm gonna do this. I'm gonna need weapons," it should automatically star Vin Diesel. He should just mysteriously appear a la Candyman. CHECK OUT THE TRAILER AFTER THE JUMP…
"SUPER-POKKKEEEEEE!!!!!!!!"Good news for me and all of my demographic!! I caught wind that Scott Pilgrim vs. The World is mounting an integrated campaign via Facebook to release its new trailer sooner than expected. All that I and my fellow page impressions need to do is socially network with Scott Pilgrim's Facebook page and click the "Like" button. Once the page accumulates 100,000 likes, the trailer will be released. NEXT LEVEL SYNERGY!!What a cool concept that's sure to pop with me and my unique visitor peers. What a thrilling time to be a live, human boy!!
Lindsay Lohan is starring in posters for Inferno, a biopic about Deep Throat porno queen Linda Lovelace. She's also apparently starring in the film, once they get the whole funding, supporting cast, production start date thing worked out. Lohan spent last week stumbling through the crowded streets and bitchin' yacht parties in Cannes to drum up support. Not the best marketing strategy if you ask me. Snotty quips and vomit have never sold a movie. …that Mickey Rourke didn't star in. Producers were touting along the French Riviera that Inferno will begin shooting in the Fall. They figure if they offer up a general time of the year the bigwigs will pony up some dough. "Fall! Well that sounds like a season that movies shoot!" Luckily it's far enough down the line that Lindsay's court-mandated ankle bracelet will no longer be an issue. Either the authorities will remove it or she'll have knawed through it during a house music, Red Bull and vodka withdrawal fit. (Cinematical)
Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time PG-13, 116m., 2010 Cast: Jake Gyllenhaal, Gemma Arterton, Ben Kingsley and Alfred Molina Directed by Mike Newell Screenplay by Boaz Yakin, Doug Miro…
He may have dropped out of I'm With Cancer, but James McAvoy will be losing his hair regardless. McAvoy has officially been hired to play the young Professor X in Matthew Vaughn's X-Men: First Class prequel.The movie will tell the story of the formation and epic dissolution of the epic bromance between Charles Xavier and Erik "Magneto" Lernsherr, which leads to the ongoing fight between the X-Men and Brotherhood of Evil Mutants. Seems like a solid casting choice but why didn't we have to endure a casting shortlist? Isn't that mandatory on all Marvel characters nowadays? I won't feel complete as a person until I know that Peter Sarsgaard was forced to camera test in Beast make-up. (THR)
Killers, staring Katherine Heigl and Ashton Kutcher, premieres June 4th, but you won't be seeing many advanced reviews. That's because the studio behind the film thought it was simply too awesome to be screened for critics in advance. In fact, some executives at Lionsgate felt the cinematic tour de force about a secret spy and his stupid girlfriend was so incredible that critics' heads might explode from witnessing it. Also, Twitter has made film critics irrelevant. In today's socially connected marketplace, we all have the ability to share feedback instantly around the world. In keeping with this spirit, Lionsgate and the filmmakers want to give the opportunity to moviegoing audiences and critics alike to see `Killers' simultaneously, and share their thoughts in the medium of their choosing. We felt that this sense of immediacy could be a real asset in the marketing of `Killers.' Yeah, I bet you did, Mr. Lionsgate PR guy. Kind of like when you convinced that fat girl you were banging in college that you'd both be better off if you kept your relationship a secret. (AP/Cinemablend)

Hello and welcome to the board.
Could you post the output you get when type in: /sbin/ifconfig
I'm setting up a server for a school project using Slackware 8.1. It's almost done, except for one thing.... it won't connect to the network.
When I try to ping somebody, it says:
PING 220.127.116.11 (220.127.116.11): 56 octets data.
And then it just sits there. No 'network is unreachable', nothing. It doesn't say if the pings have made it, it doesn't say if they've failed. When I crtl-c it, it says:
--126.96.36.199 Ping Statistics--
80 packets sent, 0 packets recieved, 100% packet loss.
Whenever somebody else tries to ping me, the same thing happens to them. I can ping localhost, 127.0.0.1, and 18.104.22.168 (the assigned IP number for my server) fine. I've checked the gateway, netmask, and name server several times: they're the right numbers.
My ethernet card is an 3com Etherlink II. What's really strange is that it's worked before under Slackware 8.1.
And yes, the cable is plugged into the wall.
If anyone can figure out this mystery, they'll be my hero.
Hello and welcome to the board.
Could you post the output you get when type in: /sbin/ifconfig
I typed in "cat /sbin/ifconfig"...
And pages of gibberish came out on the screen. Boxes, intersecting lines, and the word 'GNU'. Now my command line is gibberish too.
No, no! Not "cat /sbin/ifconfig" just "/sbin/ifconfig"!
Oh.... I thought it was a config file.
(Yeah, I'm a bit slow.)
Here's the output:

are you sure the subnet mask is
and not
ping loop back - check
ping your own IP - check
ping router - ?
check firewall(try disabling it completely first) - ?
link light on NIC - ?
check physical connection(again) - ?
can other machines ping router - ?
(remote possibility whole network down)
## Now were getting desperate
Not using Cross-over cable are you?
Replace your machine w/ another using the same IP config and run
the steps above.
And broadcast too -- see the .254 -- shouldnt the broadcast be .255 ?
I'm pretty sure that the subnet mask should be 255.255.224.0. See, my school has control over the 142.231.8.* and 142.231.9.* IP addresses.
The link light on the NIC is on. Green constantly, no flickering or anything.
I checked the cable eariler: it's not a cross-over one, it's just a regular ethernet cable.
The computer next to me, having the same settings (except for the IP number) is able to get onto the network. It's running Linux From Scratch with support put into the kernel, though.
As for the other suggestions, I'll check it tomorrow. Thanks for the help, everyone. ;D
Are you getting the IP settings automatically from a DHCP server are they manually entered? If they are manually entered, you might be dealing with a bad NIC (I've seen this before). Any chance you could test your computer with a known good NIC or test this one in another computer?
Check your netmask, as everyone has already pointed out. You have it listed as .254, and in a later post, claim it to be .224. Both netmasks are valid for a class B network. The correct one just depends on how your network is segmented.
With the .254 netmask, your network will have hosts ranging from 18.104.22.168 to 126.96.36.199. Your network address will be 184.108.40.206 and your broadcast address will be 22.214.171.124. Right now, your 'ifconfig' output shows an illegal broadcast address.
Keep this in mind, you will still be able to ping yourself at both 127.0.0.1 and at 22.214.171.124, even if your netcard is malfunctioning (and even if ifconfig shows it as having an ip address). Just because your card has an ip address and claims to be up, and can ping itself, does not mean that the packets are actually being transmitted to the wire. I ran into that illusion on RH 6.2.
Do an lsmod to see if the modules for the card are in fact loaded.

The burn ban in Hutchinson County will continue.
Hutchinson County Commissioners acted to extend the burn ban after speaking with Fire Marshal Danny Richards Monday morning. County Judge Faye Blanks said that certain areas have continued with a disaster declaration that could be extended with additions. However, Richards said he found it best to just stick with the burn ban for the time being.
"It will be more efficient," he said.
He also stated that the area is 11 inches behind in average moisture and no signs of any precipitation are present in the near future.
The burn ban was first adopted by the commissioners in January of this year and an extension on the ban was approved in April. The ban prohibits the burning of trash and any type of burning in open pits. It will not affect farmers who do agricultural burning, but does restrict other types of outdoor burning.
In other business, Chief Deputy James Qualls spoke on behalf of the Hutchinson County Sheriff's Office and requested permission to apply for a Justice Assistance Grant (JAG) totaling around $16,000. He said the department wants to use this money to get new locks and doors for a few of the jail house cells. This request was granted by the commissioners.
Chief Deputy Qualls also spoke about buying tazer cuffs that go around a inmate's leg. He stated these are used for when a inmate goes to trial or is being transported. Inmates cannot be taken to trial in handcuffs or any types of restraints. Generally the rights of prisoners with regard to handcuffs in the United States may be found within the Eighth Amendment to the Constitution. Prisoners in handcuffs have the right not to be subjected to cruel and unusual punishment. Determining whether a handcuffed prisoner's rights have been violated depends on the circumstances and upon the ruling of the court.
The cuffs will cost around $800 a piece and can be worn around the subject's ankles. Therefore, if they try to run or cause a outburst, an officer will hold the remote and use the cuff as a tazer, which is effective within a 1,000 yard range. This too was approved by the commissioners.
Also approved was the placement of new speed signs along Marcy Drive, along with the repairs on the annex building sidewalk due to safety hazards. All other agenda items, such as bills and donations, were reviewed and approved by the commissioners.

One of the biggest benefits that can come from using a Microsoft Tag is the ability to transform an ordinary, humdrum experience into a more exciting and engaging one. Take shopping, for instance. Sure, there are those who just love to shop 'til they drop. But then there are the rest of us, for whom shopping can be just a necessary, and even sometimes, dreaded chore.
But introduce technology like Tag into the point-of-sale and suddenly what was ordinary takes on a whole new level of interactivity and, for many people, even fun.
One manufacturer that has learned all of this first-hand is the popular printer maker Canon U.S.A. As of April 2010, the colorful Tags can be found on three models of Canon PIXMA printers and some of the company's image capture products in more than 10,000 stores. In just the few seconds it takes to scan the Tags with their smartphone's Tag app, shoppers are brought to a landing page with loads of additional information about the Canon products.
Michael Duffet, senior director for Canon's Imaging Technologies and Communications Group, recently told Consumer Goods Technology that "at this point, every Canon PIXMA printer product we launch for retail incorporates Microsoft Tag as part of its in-store customer point-of-purchase experience."
Canon is also using the Tags in its print advertisements and will also soon put the Tags on the PIXMA printer product packaging. The result will expand the application's reach to 15,000 stores.
Duffet told Consumer Goods Technology the Tags seem to be having a positive impact on sales in an extremely tough economic environment. "We know our customers are very engaged and hungry for more info," he said in the magazine. "We will continue to analyze the situation and look forward to expanding Canon's usage of the technology."
According to the magazine, since the launch of Tags on the Canon products, retailers have also been surprised at how much time shoppers now spend interacting with the products. And Canon has continued to improve the amount of information it offers via the Tags based on shopper feedback.
Duffet shared these words of advice in Consumer Goods Technology to other product manufacturers: "Make sure you're listening to the consumer before you launch the Microsoft Tag application. Just deploying information to deploy information is not helpful."
How else can Tag be used at the point-of-sale? Let us know with your comments below or on Facebook or Twitter.

PITTSFIELD, Maine (NEWS CENTER)-- When you think of company's that are known for being good places to work for people over 50, a construction company might not be the first thing that comes to mind. But Cianbro Corporation has landed in AARP's top 50 list of Best Employers for workers over 50.
AARP officials say, In a state with a large and growing mature workforce, Cianbro Corporation knows that recruiting and retaining workers 50+ is smart business.
Mark Hovey is in the human resources department at Cianbro. He says older employees also help mentor the new ones.
Hovey says, "When it comes to age its not really a factor to us. We don't discriminate. And we find that our older work force population, which we have a fairly significant group, that they really contribute a lot to our daily and continued success."
The top Best Employers this year will be profiled in the August-September issue of AARP The Magazine.

Society of Physics Students
Welcome to the Drexel University Chapter of the Society of Physics Students! We are a chapter of SPS National, an organization associated with the American Institute of Physics (AIP). The Drexel SPS chapter was revived in 2006 and has been going strong ever since!
SPS is a professional organization run by and designed for college students. Anyone interested in physics can become a member of SPS. Besides physics majors, our members include majors from engineering, mathematics, chemistry, computer science, biology, and other fields.
The primary objectives of SPS include the advancement and diffusion of knowledge in physics, the encouragement of interest in physics throughout the academic and local communities, introducing students to a professional community, and promoting interaction and a sense of community among Drexel University students.
Our weekly activities include things like inviting Drexel faculty to give talks on cutting edge research and careers in physics, encouraging our members to give talks on something they're interested in related to physics, and organizing movie nights and restaurant trips.
Drexel SPS is especially committed to giving back to our local community. We actively volunteer with several organizations in the Philadelphia area including tutoring at TeenSHARP and organizing various outreach activities at local schools. We also host a booth at the Philadelphia Science Festival's Carnival on the Parkway each spring.
Find out more about our awesome events here!
SPS also works with our sister organization, the Women in Physics Society, in order to coordinate joint social and outreach events.
Contact one of the current SPS Officers to find out about our current meeting schedule.
Anyone with an interest in physics from any major or school is welcome to join Drexel SPS and participate in our many activities.
Drexel SPS members may also be interested in becoming a member of SPS National or Sigma Pi Sigma, the National Physics Honors Society. SPS National membership is $24 annually, however, Drexel freshmen physics major's dues will be covered by the department for their freshmen year (Please contact Jeremy Gaison for more information). Besides the opportunity to be involved with a professional organization, there are many benefits of joining SPS National which includes:
The Sigma Pi Sigma Society honors outstanding scholarship in physics; encourages interest in physics among students at all levels; promotes an attitude of service of its members towards their fellow students, colleagues, and the public; and provides a fellowship of persons who have excelled in physics.

Earthquake! Let's Vlog...
If you want the UK YouTube community to head for their webcams en masse, an earthquake is clearly the way to go. Tuesday night's quake (5.2 on the Richter Scale and triggered deep below Market Rasen, the home of Lincolnshire horse-racing) encouraged a large number of you to upload, ranging from the sublime -- in the form of this charmingly overexcited reportage from Katers17:
To the ridiculous, in this case supplied by first-time film-maker Moribundian:
Even experienced YouTubers like Paperlilies seem to have been thrown for a loop:
As devoted trackers of YouTube activity, watching these videos was absorbing. Since the inception of the YouTube UK homepage, it's fair to say that no one event has triggered such a wave of vlogging, and to see so many people simultaneously sharing their thoughts and experiences through this service was impressive.
It may be that because just one unfortunate soul was injured that people felt they could broadcast their takes on an event that we can expect to wait 30 years to experience again, but either way we at YouTube UK can't wait to see what the Next Big Vlogging Event will be.
Have fun,
Jamie D.

MASSENA - Assisting business owners recognize possible fraud and embezzlement in their company will be the subject of a seminar co-hosted by the Greater Massena Chamber of Commerce and Dragon Benware CPAs, PC., from 9 to 10:30 a.m. Thursday at the Massena Community Center.
Every day or every other day in the paper there are cases of fraud and embezzlement of north country businesses. There are certain things to watch for to make people aware of what is going on, chamber Executive Director Michael J. Gleason said.
He said embezzlement and fraud can happen to anyone at anytime. Organizations work hard to be successful and should be able to benefit fully from that hard work, he said, noting that having assets stolen from an organization is more likely than one would think, but prevention and detection can minimize this likelihood.
Its something that pops up regularly and needed to be addressed, Mr. Gleason said.
The headlines kind of dictated it. Its relevant, he said.
He said they were contacted by representatives from Dragon Benware CPAs, PC, about holding the Fraud and Embezzlement - Prevention and Detection seminar.
This came up because of the tax season. They gave us a call. Theyre doing them now. They wanted to get it done before the tax season really kicked into high gear because all of their CPAs are going to be busy, Mr. Gleason said.
The seminar is being presented by Douglas Hoffman of Dragon Benware CPAs, PC. Mr. Hoffman has an extensive background and has been working with small family-owned businesses and high net worth individuals with their estate, tax, business and personal planning for more than 35 years.
Its targeted toward business owners, non-profit executive directors or responsible government members who have delegated most financial tasks to other people within their organizations. It could also apply to service clubs because of revenue-generating efforts that involve cash, such as bell jars.
Hell talk about some of the things theyve seen going on the last few years. Thats why its for owners and directors and not for actual bookkeepers or accounting staff. Especially with small organizations, its tough to have a lot of internal controls, Mr. Gleason said.
Pre-registration is required by contacting the Massena Chamber at 769-3525 by noon Wednesday. The registration fee is $10 for members of the Greater Massena Chamber of Commerce and $20 for non-members. Refreshments will be served.
Chamber President Susan E. Stiles said the seminar is one of the benefits of chamber membership.
Hosting this seminar is just one example of how the Greater Massena Chamber of Commerce is working to help local businesses, she said. We look forward to offering more seminars/workshops in the future and ask that if anyone has suggestions on topics, to please send an email to firstname.lastname@example.com.

By GARY B. BOSSHARDTPrice
What a wonderful place Price is and what wonderful people live here. As a brand new resident of Price and college student, when my car on the way to Price began to fail me, I became worried about who I might get to repair my car. Not that I was worried about finding a mechanic to repair it, but after having heard horror stories about different people being taken advantage of by unknown and devious mechanics, I became worried that the same thing might happen to me.
But my experience at a local shop was quite different. Although I knew nothing about the mechanics working there, I was told by a friend that I would find no better service in town. Not only was he right about the superior service, but I was literally treated by the owner, like a long lost friend. Never have I had the pleasure of associating with a mechanic so forgiving and willing to work with a person with almost no mechanical experience.
The owner and his mechanics were the most kind, knowledgeable, and hospitable people that there are.
The people of Price truly are a one-of-a-kind.

The competition for jobs in today's economy is tough. When you relocate and are attempting to find employment in a new area, your résumé is a critical tool. It helps you stand out from the crowd.
If done effectively, it describes you . . . on paper. A potential employer should get an understanding of your strengths and relevant work experience, even with a quick read of your résumé. Your goal is to impress potential employers enough to say, "Yes! I want to interview that candidate."
Career Objective - A statement which tells the employer what type of position you are seeking, it's probably the most difficult part of the resume to write. Why? Because it is important to be as specific as possible. A vague statement probably won't create a positive impression in the employer's mind, yet you don't want to be so specific as to eliminate viable possibilities. People want to hire someone who knows what he/she wants.
Descriptive Statements - Begin with strong action verbs. Avoid "duties included" or "responsible for". Include concrete examples and numbers whenever possible.
Emphasize Relevant Main Points - Identify skills, communicate strengths, and emphasize results. Describe your accomplishments rather than the work environment.
Special Sections - Includes areas such as computer skills, research, publications, travel, skills, languages, awards, and professional affiliations. These topics are not required to be included in a resume but sometimes help to enhance or support your career direction.
HR can review your résumé and offer feedback.

Meyer Lemon tree that I have is a dwarf style. It may grow to 8 feet tall in the future but I may keep it pruned. During the weather this tree may be okay down to 30 degrees. But temperatures below 32 degrees I protect. Covered and 60 watt.

BJP unaware of Modi's views: Shiv Sena
Reacting to Narendra Modi's 'toilets first, temples later' remark, National Democratic Alliance (NDA) ally Shiv Sena on Saturday said Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) is unaware of the views of its prime ministerial candidate and just follows him around.
In its mouthpiece Saamana, Shiv Sena said: "Modi was criticized for his toilet remark. But the lesson learnt is that even BJP is unsure of its stand."
"It gives us a picture that Modi is leading and BJP following him. All we can say is everyone should participate in toilet building work. As for temple building, we will see later," it said.
Shiv Sena slammed the Congress for criticizing Modi on the issue.
"Modi had voiced a courageous thought. However, it is surprising that Congress attacked him for what Jairam Ramesh said earlier," it said.
"In fact, Congress should appoint Modi as a brand ambassador for the toilet project and give a big amount as remuneration to BJP," the Saamana editorial said.
Earlier, union rural development minister Jairam Ramesh accused the BJP of 'double standards' as the party remained silent on a comment on public toilets by the Gujarat Chief Minister while it slammed the Congress leader over a similar remark.
"On October 5, at Sewagram in fact, where Gandhiji had his ashram in the mid 30s, I made this comment. And I still believe in it that this country needs more toilets than temples, or mosques or gurdwaras or churches," Ramesh told CNN-IBN.
"I had used temples as a short form for any place of worship. And I'd said that what we need, with 60 pc of women still defecating in the open and the link established between open defeacation and malnutrition, what we need are more toilets and less places of worship."
"When I said this Mr Rajiv Pratap Rudy (of BJP) attacked me for destroying the fine fabric between faith and religion. His exact words, I have it here, 'for destroying the fine fabric of faith and religion'. I don't know what he means by it. Then he went on to say that the BJP maintains that one should not get into the debate of whether a temple or toilet is more important.
"Prakash Javadekar then attacked me publicly. Activists of the RSS and VHP came to my house, they left bottles of urine outside my house. I went to Agra a couple of days later and black flags were shown, my effigies were burnt," he said.
"I wonder where they are now? Now that Mr Narendra Modi has suddenly discovered the value of toilets. I wish Mr Narendra Modi discovered this 20 years ago. We wouldn't have had the Babri Masjid episode, communal riots across the country, particularly in Mumbai," said Ramesh.
He said Modi made the comment to woo the massses keeping in mind the PM post.
" All I can say that in his blind pursuit of the Prime Ministerial post, he seems to be willing to make whatever statements that are necessary to appeal to whatever section of the society he wants to appeal to.
"All I wish is that this enlightenment had dawned on him before he became one of the orchestrators of Mr Advani's rath yatra, which caused untold misery on the people of India and brought about a bitter and almost lasting communal divide in our politics," said Ramesh.
"... let me say that I spoke out of conviction, Mr Modi is speaking out of compulsion," he said.
Speaking at a function in New Delhi on Oct 2, Modi had said: "I am known to be a Hindutva leader. My image does not permit me to say so, but I dare to say that I sincerely believe in 'Pehle shauchalaya, phir devalaya' (toilets first, temples later)."

Camping restrictions due to bear activity at Avintaquin Campground on the Roosevelt-Duchesne District of the Ashley National Forest has been lifted.
The restrictions required overnight occupancy in a fully hard sided and structurally sound camping vehicle. Sleeping outside a fully hard sided and structurally sound camping vehicle was prohibited.
This closure affected the Avintaquin Campground located along the Reservation Ridge Road, south of Duchesne, a favorite camping area of many people from Castle Valley.
"As we progress into summer I hope everyone recreating on the forest becomes 'bear aware' and stores their coolers and food inside their vehicle or camper when not in use," said district ranger John R. Kirkaldie.
The federal agency has also extended the comment period on the draft environmental impact statement (DEIS) for the motorized travel plan for the forest by 45 days, with an end date for receiving public input being July 16, 2009.
The Ashley has been working on its motorized travel plan for the past two and one-half years.
Public involvement efforts during generated more than 1,200 proposals for route changes. The proposals are incorporated into four management alternatives analyzed in the DEIS.
The DEIS is a lengthy document due to the scope of the project and the number of proposals being considered. The United States Forest Service took that into consideration when deciding to extend the comment period. Input from cooperating agencies was also a factor in choosing to allow an additional 45 days for comment.
Former U.S. Forest Service chief Dale Bosworth identified unmanaged recreation as one of the most serious threats to system's lands.
A major component of unmanaged recreation was the unregulated use of off-highway vehicles.
In 2005 a new set of travel management regulations were developed that in part required every national forest to review its motorized travel management plan, eliminating unrestricted off trail travel and instead, designating a system of roads and trails where ATV use is appropriate.
"Travel management is a topic of great importance to our forest users," said forest supervisor Kevin B. Elliott. "We recognize that off-highway vehicle (OHV) use is a legitimate use of National Forest System lands and we are striving to find the right balance of motorized and non-motorized opportunities on the Ashley. Our motorized travel management plan is intended to help us better manage an increasing number of ATV's and limit the effects to protect water quality, wildlife habitat, and soil resources. By extending the comment period on the DEIS, we hope more people will have time to review and comment on the management alternatives being considered."
Copies of the DEIS are available at www.fs.fed.us/r4/ashley and local U.S. Forest Service offices.
To submit comments, Carbon County residents should contact Kris Rutledge at (435) 781-5196.

Midwest Living Review
The Laura Ingalls Wilder Museum opened in 1974, the same year that Little House on the Prairie began iaring on television. Most visitors over age 35 will probably recognize the choice episodes looping in a room paying homage to the long-running series.
The museum dedicates displays to the show's stars, many of who have visited Walnut Grove and signed autographs through the years. The gift shop's extensive book collection makes it easy to introduce younger generations to the works of Laura Ingalls Wilder and is also the place to find calico prairie dresses, aprons and bonnets. Beyond exhibits about the TV series and the author's life, there are buildings where visitors can explore a covered wagon, typical dry goods of the era, a crude dugout house, and an in-town house from the late 1800s that includes quilt and doll collections and hands-on activities for the kids.
This isn't a glossy, polished museum, but it's packed with interesting stories and displays appealing to all generations—even those born long after Little House brought the drama of Walnut Grove into America's living rooms every week.

BGA: 2012 Salary Cap Update 3.0 – "Glorified Restructure" Edition
Previously on BGA…
When we last did a Salary Cap Update (three days ago), not much had changed since our first Salary Cap Update (back in January). We talked mostly about the possibility of signing Peyton Manning and fitting his deal under the cap.
Things have obviously moved on from there with Mark Sanchez receiving a contract extension and the Jets no longer in the mix for Manning. However, in terms of the cap situation itself, it's still the case that little has changed since that first update we did. What has changed is that Sanchez's extension has given the Jets immediate salary cap relief of $6.4m, but we speculated that they might restructure his deal to achieve a cap saving anyway. Without the extension, the cap saving would have been just $4m, but adding three years onto the end of the deal enabled them to pro-rate bonus money over five years rather than two and also helps them keep the cap hit at a more manageable level in 2013.
Have They Even Announced the Cap Yet?
One major piece of news that we've been waiting for is the level of the salary cap in 2012 which is still yet to be announced, but Jay Glazer reported earlier that he's heard "it'll be right around $120.6m" when they announce it on Monday. Assuming that's correct, the reports that the cap wasn't likely to rise significantly have been proven to be correct and once again things are practically unchanged from when we did our first salary cap update. We knew it couldn't go down, because that was agreed when the CBA was signed, so we'd been using $120.5m in all our projections (since it's a rounder number than last year's cap number of $120,375,000). That extra ("right around") $100K of cap room isn't going to make any discrenable difference.
The cap didn't rise much because the Performance Based Pay system is returning this year, which eats into the available money to be divided between teams by $3.46m per team. For a quick breakdown of what Performance Based Pay is, who missed out in 2011 and an overall summary of where this leaves the Jets, hit the jump to read more.
Why Performance Based Pay Isn't Really Performance Based Pay
The Performance Based Pool is an amount of money distributed to each club in order to divide between their players based on a complex calculation comparing how much playing time they got with what their cap hit was during the year. Everybody who played gets something, but obviously if you've got a high cap hit and didn't play much (Bryan Thomas), you'll end up with a lot less than someone with a low cap hit that played a lot (Matt Slauson). It isn't really performance based at all, because – although to an extent performance will have a bearing on how much playing time you get – players that perform poorly but still get a ton of playing time (Eric Smith, Wayne Hunter) will still get more so-called "Performance Based" pay than a player with the same cap hit that played a lot less than them, even if that player played much better. (Sione Pouha, for example).
In 2011, there was no Performance Based Pay and instead that money was allocated to teams to use for salaries, without which the NFL would not have been able to fund a salary cap of over $120m. In 2012, the Performance Based Pool is $3.46m per team. The money does not count against the cap and is not paid until after the season, but it does get taken from the total amount of money distributed to teams, which is why there wasn't enough left over to increase the salary cap much from last year.
I've done a quick broad-brush calculation of what the Jets would have paid out at the end of 2011, if they had $3.46m of Performance Based Pay available, just to give you some idea of the money at stake. I've ignored/estimated things like special teams plays (which do count) and aborted plays due to penalties before the snap (which do not) to arrive at the following approximate numbers for how the $3.46m would be divided between the players on the Jets roster in 2011:
Matt Slauson would have been entitled to the most, in the sum of just over $300,000 by my calculations. Brodney Pool, Matthew Mulligan and Marcus Dixon would all have received between $150,000 and $200,000 and John Conner and Jeremy Kerley would have had about $150,000. At the other end of the scale high-salaried full time players like Mark Sanchez and Darrelle Revis would have been entitled to about $10,000 each, which is similar to guys like Isaiah Trufant and Ellis Lankster, who barely played but had low salaries. Over thirty players would have received between $20,000 and $100,000. When the NFL last paid out from its Performance Based Pool, 12 NFL players earned more than $300,000 with the most going to Vikings C John Sullivan (just under $400,000).
Where Does This Leave The Jets?
Jason's latest update at NYJetsCap has the Jets at $14.1m under the cap (and he's been using $120.4m as his estimated cap, so you can add another $200K to that amount once Glazer's report is confirmed). If they sign Pouha, leave Maybin on an original round RFA tender and set money aside for their rookies, that's going to leave them with around $7m for free agency. We'll keep you posted with any changes though.
Quick Programming Note – Since things have already started getting chaotic with the free agency doors about to swing open in a few days, I'm going to park BGA Weekly for the time being and come back to it when things slow down.

Read: The Impact A Rick Nash Trade Would Have
This morning on a radio show in Canada, Pierre McGuire, via SI Red Light, praised the potential deal that would send Chris Kreider, Brandon Dubinsky and a first round pick to the Rangers for Rick Nash and said that it makes sense for both sides.
For the Rangers, Pierre says:
"The Rangers become a very real player if you put Rick Nash on a wing with Ryan Callahan and Brad Richards. They become an amazing force because now you've got Gaborik, Derek Stepan and Artem Anisimov and then you come right back with Brad Richards, Rick Nash and Ryan Callahan. Good luck trying to create match up situations against that group. They become a very real difficult team to play against."
McGuire says that Chris Kreider is a very good prospect but calls Jesper Fasth (he mentions Calle Jarnkrok but he must have been talking about Fasth since he mentioned a broken ankle) as someone to watch for the future. He says that the Rangers have enough internal depth to overcome the trading of Kreider.
On Brandon Dubinsky, Pierre says "he is popular with his teammates but I think that Rick Nash could become just as popular if he went there."
Pierre also says that the Rangers can afford to deal a first round pick because of how players like Ryan McDonagh have developed.

I'll be quiet for a while, on a social media and blogging sabbatical throughout
2014 2015.
Read the about page for the pre-sabbatical story.
If you wish to connect with me, please send a message to email@example.com.
Our grand, big house in Carrboro, North Carolina is on the market (current as of 3/7/2015).
It's been a place of delight for us these last five years, and we're hoping another family — perhaps yours! — will jump at the idea of making it a home in which to grow up and grow older and wiser, fill with dinner parties and backyard barbecues and birthday parties, make memories fond and familiar and priceless.
Where are we going? Not far, we hope: just over to Chapel Hill to design a new experience for ourselves and our children.

After nearly 10 years hosting my various websites with Textdrive, it's time for me to move to a new web host — Textdrive will cease operations on March 14, 2014.
I'm hurrying to transfer my files to my new host. Please be patient if there's any down time during this transfer.
UPDATE: I have successfully moved the Coconut Wireless to my new host.
For a decade, I worked passionately to build a conference, a community and an organization called ScienceOnline. This was in partnership with Bora Zivkovic, a partnership that became a friendship. Last fall, I was blindsided by the revelations of his behavior toward women. In October, November and December, I offered Bora my ear, my help and my compassion, in the hopes that he would make amends and changes. In writing my Jan. 1 blog essay, Roots and Bitters, I was attempting to juggle that compassion with my bitterness for how Bora treated women, how he had treated the community — including Karyn and me — and how our partnership was being pulled apart.
Posting my essay was wrong for many reasons, most especially because I have come to a very different understanding of sexual harassment, professional responsibility and Bora's actions, which I do believe were wrong. I am sorry for posting my essay, but grateful for the lessons that I've learned since.
I deeply regret that my blog post, published without the knowledge of my fellow ScienceOnline board members, shook their trust in me. Scott Rosenberg, Meg Lowman and Mark Benerofe stepped up to assist ScienceOnline at a very difficult time, putting their reputations on the line in a show of support for the community and mission of ScienceOnline.
I wanted to remove the post from my blog in January, but understood that anything I did or said would only distract everyone from the planning of the ScienceOnline Together 2014 conference. The board requested that I keep the post online, so that production of the conference and the interactions of the attendees who had committed their valuable dollars and time were the focus — and not Bora. (Bora had no role or part in ScienceOnline or the planning of the conference after October 16, and from January 1 on, I severely limited my interactions with him; I continue to distance myself from him as I work through my bitterness and anger.) We needed to keep our focus so that ScienceOnline could survive in 2014 and move forward beyond that. I am sorry if this silence further confused you.
Under the direction of executive director Karyn Traphagen and with the guidance and assistance from board members Mark and Scott and Meg, we acted promptly to clarify the goals of the conference (especially that Bora would not be in attendance), review the community's responses, seek third-party advice, strengthen the ScienceOnline code of conduct and harassment policies, and put in place focused programming on women in science at the start of the conference. We also added the opportunity for attendee-selected topic-driven conversations at the 90-minute Saturday lunch break. We knew that this was only a beginning.
In addition to the serious human issues facing this community, the organization was now at financial risk. Compounding the normal stress of organizing a major event, the timing of the revelations in October happened just after we completed major contractual commitments but conference registration process and sponsor relations were still being finalized. We had intense worries about the financial viability of the organization. My January post, I fully admit, set us back. The stress was palpable, and required us to have a laser focus on making sure the conference was a success.
Thankfully, hundreds of individuals came together last week to enjoy the conference, and confirmed that there's important work yet to be done to advance the mission of ScienceOnline — to cultivate the ways we (organization AND community) conduct, share and communicate science on the Web. As in each of the past seven years, ScienceOnline Together 2014 was a success because of the many attendees, longstanding sponsors and new supporters, speakers, discussion moderators and volunteers who committed their time, resources, experiences, expertise, talents and willingness to learn. I am grateful to all who helped to make ScienceOnline Together 2014 a success.
Karyn's efforts were herculean. I want to thank her for her support as a co-founder, a board member and a friend. Her wisdom and leadership skills, combined with everyone who participated and collaborated at the conference, give me optimism for what ScienceOnline can accomplish in the decade to come.
And now it is time for me to remove Roots and Bitters, because I can no longer stand behind those words.
Furthermore, I know this: I am burned out, and I need a break. The stress of the last six months has made it painfully clear that it's time for me to step back. This includes taking a social media sabbatical, and focusing more intently on my family, my health and my job.
Several months ago, I concluded that it is time for me to make room for others to lead the organization. Prior to the conference, I informed the board of my plan to step away from ScienceOnline at the end of this month. Effective March 28, 2014, I will be resigning my position as chairman of the ScienceOnline Board of Directors, and transitioning to a new (non-voting) role — details still to be worked out — that will allow me to stay involved in an advisory role, and as a founder and champion of the ScienceOnline story.
When I look back on the history of ScienceOnline, I am immensely proud. At the outset, I wanted to believe that individuals who connected online could come together for meaningful face-to-face conversations, and that our interactions about science would further strengthen online connections, civility, conversations and collaborations. And we have done that. Nurturing a community and building ScienceOnline over the last decade has been hard work, but I am glad to have dedicated these years to ScienceOnline.
Thanks to all of you who have been so supportive in pushing ScienceOnline forward and helping us in this difficult year. I hope you will continue to do that as ScienceOnline goes on the road — to southern California this summer with ScienceOnline Brain, and then to Atlanta next February for ScienceOnline Together 2015 — and on into the future.
I'll be off the social web for awhile. If you wish to reach me sooner, please send a message to email@example.com.
This post has been retracted. Please read A retraction, stepping back, and looking forward for an update. — Anton 3/5/2014
I want to write and record a song. I don't know how to write songs, but I want to learn. I like to sing, and my children sing and dance all the time around the house. We'll have to find a musician to work with us — maybe my Uncle John, the bluegrass fan, or David Kroll, who recorded Minister of Ether. Or maybe there's a class or a workshop I can attend. I'm starting to take notes and outline ideas for a song. Stay tuned.
Met a friend yesterday, over at his home. First time I'd been there. I went with Erin and the children, and spent a lovely morning with my friend and his wife and children. Didn't want the morning to end.
My friend and his wife recommended the new Ben Stiller movie, The Secret Life of Walter Mitty. They suggested we see it on the huge Extreme Digital screen at the Cinemark at Valley View. So we went today with the kids and cousins and my father-in-law. I enjoyed the film and its homage to film photography and magazines and imagination and adventures and making a moment last. I like Stiller's humor, and I loved the huge screen.
At breakfast with another friend this morning, a discussion about the Cedar Point Chaussee, a causeway that goes out to the roller coaster-heavy amusement park an hour west of Cleveland. We wondered about the word chaussee, but of course Wikipedia has the answer
… an historic term used in German-speaking countries for early, metalled, rural highways, designed by road engineers, as opposed to the hitherto, traditional, unpaved country roads.
Meanwhile, I've spent the past week trying to locate another Cleveland friend, but I can't find him, and I'm getting worried. I've listened to his answering-machine message a dozen times. Hope he returns soon and allays my fears.
Another friend is back home in North Carolina. I've been working on a long post about our friendship for more than a month now, and I rewrote it yet again today, hoping I can find the right message and tone and timing to share my observations.
UPDATE: Found my friend. He's alive.
This week, I mentioned using Medium, and noted the nice way that writers, editors and readers can add comments to each paragraph, instead of comments at the bottom of a post.
I've encountered footnotes in other ways this week.
The jQuery plugin Bigfoot is a new solution for inline footnotes (inspired by the way Marco Arment programmed popover notes for Instapaper and The Magazine).
I was reminded of a class I took in college, on Latin American dictators in literature. (I mentioned the class in this previous post about One Hundred Years of Solitude). One of the books on the reading list was I, the Supreme, by Augusto Roa Bastos. It was a novel, but used extensive footnotes to tell another perspective to the fictional story. I went looking for my copy of the book, but I think I actually got rid of it this summer.
The book I'm reading now, The Telling Room – A Tale of Love, Betrayal, Revenge, and the World's Greatest Piece of Cheese by Michael Paterniti, is nonfiction. Paterniti uses footnotes to add additional details and commentary to his story/travelogue/profile/food-writing. The other night, I came upon page 180, where a footnote begins, then spawns eight more footnotes within, spanning the bottoms of three pages. I think Paterniti was having a laugh on his readers, but we get the joke, because it fits his tale of a Spanish storyteller supreme.
I would endow ScienceOnline so that the organization would continue — far into the future — to gather and support all those doing, sharing and promoting science on the Web. (Until then, your donations are most appreciated. Please give $20.14 today – start here and click the Donate button.)
I would fund the BlogTogether Community Service Awards, and give them every year, celebrating those individuals and groups using blogs and social media to advocate for honesty, integrity, fairness and justice, and who make our communities (online and in the world) better places to live and interact.
I would help Jeff and The Monti, and my colleagues at Duke Medicine, make Voices of Medicine a national program that gives patients, their families and their medical caregivers ways to share stories of life, healing, loss and tenderness.
I would invite you all to The Long Table for dinner and slivovitz and long, leisurely conversation.
And I would take care of mom and dad and my brothers, and my wife and my children and my friends.
And I would share the rest with those who are hungry or lonely or homeless or in need.
In fact, I'd probably end up with just this dollar coin in my pocket, but I'd be satisfied.
I'm working on a very long essay now.
My essay started as a Fargo outline of ideas (after a page of scribbles in a ScienceOnline-branded Field Notes notebook).
Then I used iA writer to expand those ideas into a first draft.
Then I copied that first draft into Draft, and edited and rewrote a couple more versions.
Then I copied the essay into Medium. Medium has a new update, with some new formatting options.
There's been a lot of discussion lately about what purpose Medium is meant to serve, for users and its investors. Read two: Anil Dash and Noah Nelson.
I previously posted two essays to Medium, about dengue fever and Lucky the Cow. But, I've kept my distance from Medium, for one reason I won't go into, and for another reason: I want to own and control my own content, and so I keep most of my blogging here at mistersugar.com.
But I was tempted by the full-width image placement, and using the updated Medium has actually been kind of fun. It's easy to format my writing with photos and pullquotes and section heads. This reminds me of being a high school editor of the literary journal New Pennies, and learning to cut and paste galley pages.
It also reminds me of learning to use Pagemaker on Macintosh computers in the back-room computer lab of the Carroll News, my college newspaper. I'd be there late at night, joined by a young English professor named Mark Winegardner, who used the Macs to design posters to promote the writers he was bringing to campus — Tim O'Brien, Robert Stone and John Edgar Widemann, among others — while I designed pages of the newspaper or my latest Zuiker Chronicles (Anton Edition) newsletter to send to family and friends. It also reminds me of learning HTML to create Zuiker Chronicles Online and the Coconut Wireless.
All of these experiences, and tools, have helped make writing easier and design fun. Yeah, I know professional designers do it better, and that in Medium we're not really designing, since the company has structured it to their design styles. But even these limited tools for text formatting and image layout give enough options to make an author feel in control of the product. Oh, and the ability to place comments alongside paragraphs, and to invite friends and colleagues to review and offer editorial advice before an essay is public, are also very nice.
I hope to have this new essay in Medium ready to be public in a few days.
I'm also putting the essay into a self-hosted Ghost blog to see how that new blogging tool compares.
I've been trying lots of online writing tools this year. See previous posts here and here.
I've just read that the makers of iA Writer have a new, more powerful writing-and-editing tool available. It's called Writer Pro. I'll buy it in the morning (not available for U.S. purchase until midnight) and try it on another set of ideas that I've outlined in Fargo.
btw, Om Malik's reflections on how blogging has changed over the 12 years he's been doing is quite insightful.

The New York Rangers are one of the oldest hockey teams, having joined the NHL in 1926 as an expansion team. They are part of the "Original Six" which is designated to the teams that first made up the NHL. The Rangers are also the first franchise in the United States to win a Stanley Cup title. New York has won the Cup four times over their history, but only one since the 1939-1940 season which occurred during the 1993-1994 campaign. Overall, the Rangers have won seven division titles and two Presidents' Trophies. New York has had legendary players like defenseman Brian Leetch and center Mark Messier wear the Rangers uniform over the years to help propel this organization as one of the more historic franchises in the NHL. Score with TicketCity - the place to go for New York Rangers hockey ticket.
2013-2014 was an exceptional season for the New York Rangers. The Rangers went 45-31-6, finished 2nd in a contender heavy Metropolitan Division, and won the Eastern Conference Championship. The New York Rangers trip to the Stanley Cup finals was the first appearance in the finals for the team since the 1993-1994 season.
This success has set the expectations for the 2014-15 season to incredibly high levels for the New York Rangers. In the offseason the Rangers lost some key players with Benoit Pouliot, Brian Boyle, and Atron Stralman all leaving New York. The additions of Ryan Malone, Tanner Glass, and Matt Lombardi will try to fill the gaps left by those players. It would be hard to argue the Rangers as contenders for the President's Trophy, but with Henrik Lundqvist in the net, they will be serious contenders once again come playoff time.
Check out our New York Rangers Season Preview History page for previews of previous Rangers seasons.
The Rangers play their home games at the legendary Madison Square Garden, located in New York, New York. Nicknamed "The World's Most Famous Arena," when filled to capacity, the Garden holds over 17,000 screaming Ranger fans. Madison Square Garden is home of the New York Knicks from the NBA and hosts many events throughout the year to make. The New York Rangers home bench is on the Madison Square Garden rink side in front of sections 106 & 107. MSG parking information is covered in our Rangers event guide.
New York Islanders, New Jersey Devils, Philadelphia Flyers
The Battle of New York rages on as these two teams continue to leave it all on the ice every season. Rangers fans make up half of Nassau Coliseum when the two play, giving it the nickname "Garden East." The all-time series is very close in both the regular season and playoffs, and both teams would love nothing more than to win all six games against the other every season.
The Hudson River Rivalry was formed mostly through the famous 1994 and 1995 seasons, where the Rangers and Devils won Stanley Cups. The clubs met in the 1997 playoffs as well, as the Rangers won four consecutive games behind the play of Messier, Gretzky and Richter. Hockey goes well when both teams are good, and that usually the case in this rivalry.
It's Broadway versus Broad Street in this match up, with the Rangers and Flyers meeting 10 times in the Stanley Cup playoffs thus far. The divisional rivals match up well, as the clubs have very close to a .500 winning percentage against each other. The Flyers have the lead in playoff wins, but the Rangers aren't too far behind.
There is no one more passionate than the New York Ranger fan and they have certainly earned the right to be. The franchise has provided the fan base with four Stanley Cup championships dating back to 1928 when the Rangers were introduced as one of the NHL's original 6. Appearing in an incredible 9 Eastern Conference championships is enough in itself, not to mention their 55 NHL playoff appearances.
Gates open 1-hour before the puck drops at Madison Square Garden. This is one of the most iconic sporting venues on the planet and you will definitely want to get there early to enjoy as much time as possible inside the arena.
TicketCity offers a big selection of New York Rangers hockey tickets which include some of the lowest priced seats on the market. Rangers tickets fluctuate based on demand and opponent. Marquee Eastern Conference opponents, like the Pittsburg Penguins, Boston Bruins and Detroit Red Wings, can drive up home game prices. While cheap tickets are more plentiful for, non-conference or non-divisional opponents. Those games may offer best opportunity to purchase New York Rangers tickets near face value.
Madison Square Garden is located near some of the best restaurants in the world. It is really hard to find a bad place to eat around MSG but we do have a few favorites. For a great sports pub atmosphere try Stout, Mustang Harry's, or Molly Wee. If you like traditional American diners try Skylight Diner. It has a classic diner environment and good food that won't break the bank. Try Keen's Steakhouse for a more upscale dining experience. Keen's has some of the best steaks in New York and is always a fun time. Other great places are Penn 6, Shake Shack or Lugo.
The Rangers 2015-2016 hockey schedule is listed as soon as it is announced by the NHL. The Rangers plays in the Metropolitan Division, which means games against the Pittsburg Penguins, Washington Senators, Philadelphia Flyers, Columbus Blue Jackets, Carolina Hurricanes and New Jersey Devils. Game times are announced by the NHL as soon as the TV schedule is set. New York Rangers home opener is typically one of the most popular games. If you are looking for Rangers news or scores, then visit our partners at CBS Sports. They are also a good source for the official New York Rangers team roster.
It is not an understatement to say that there is no parking at Madison Square Garden. There really are no good parking options for the general public. The arena sits right on top of Penn Station and the subway or train are by far the best options for getting to and leaving the game.
New York Rangers season tickets are available to buy until kickoff of their home opener. Check our listings above or call us if you would like to purchase New York Rangers season tickets. Let us know if you want a particular section at Madison Square Garden.
If your child is 2 years old or older they will require a ticket to enter Madison Square Garden. Any child under 2 years old does not require a ticket but they have to sit in a guardians lap for the duration of the game. We highly recommend bringing proof of your child's age to the gate with you to ensure they are allowed to enter.
