BARCELONA, Spain (AP) -- Atletico Madrid visits Valencia in the first leg of the last 16 of the Copa del Rey on Tuesday, only days before a key match against Barcelona with the Spanish league lead on the line.
Here are five things to know about this week's matches:
One matchup stands above all the rest in the Copa's last 16: defending champion Atletico Madrid vs. Valencia.
The two clubs boast 17 cups between them, and Barcelona, Athletic Bilbao and Real Madrid -- the only clubs with more cups -- each play lower-profile opponents.
Atletico visits Valencia on Tuesday hoping not to get caught looking ahead to Sunday's league match against Barcelona with both teams level on points at the top the Spanish standings.
Atletico coach Diego Simeone has a deep squad to draw from, but he won't likely rest many members of the starting 11, which includes league-leading scorer Diego Costa.
"We have to focus on Valencia, which has a new coach who can complicate things for us," Simeone said. "Then we will have a great match at the Vicente Calderon (vs. Barcelona)."
Valencia will be under the orders of coach Juan Antonio Pizzi for only the second time since the Argentine took over for the fired Miroslav Djukic.
Pizzi guided his team to a 2-0 win over Levante in a city derby for a strong debut on Saturday, but he will need a major effort to topple an Atletico side that has only lost once in all competitions this season.
Pizzi, however, said his team is prepared to surprise Atletico.
"Even more so when you consider that a two-leg series is different from a longer competition (like the league)," Pizzi said. "Any team can be competitive for one game. We consider Atletico to be a good team, but we have our options and want the Copa."
Pedro Rodriguez scored a hat trick two weeks ago to erase a two-goal deficit at Alfonso Perez Coliseum and spark a 5-2 win for Barcelona.
The in-form forward will probably have another chance to take aim at Getafe on Wednesday when the Madrid-based club comes to town.
With Lionel Messi out since November with a torn left hamstring, Pedro's latest goal in a 4-0 win over Elche on Sunday gave him one more than the Argentina star to lead the team this season with 15 goals in all competitions.
Barcelona coach Gerard Martino said Messi is fit but gave no indication if he will play on Wednesday. If not, Pedro and Alexis Sanchez will likely be asked to play up front again.
"I think the game against Getafe won't be like the one we played in the league," Pedro said. "It will be tough."
Madrid hosts Osasuna on Thursday when last season's runner-up will look to get a convincing win at the Santiago Bernabeu before it returns to Pamplona, where the powerhouse always has a difficult time winning.
Osasuna outplayed Madrid on Dec. 14 in the league when it opened up a two-goal lead before Madrid salvaged a 2-2 draw.
On that day, Madrid forward Gareth Bale was substituted after halftime by coach Carlo Ancelotti and hasn't played since due to a left leg knock. He is back on Madrid's squad for Monday's league match at Celta Vigo but Ancelotti said he wasn't sure if the Welshman would play.
Only two lower-division sides survived the entrance of the topflight clubs in the round of 32.
Alcorcon, which plays in the second division, hosts Espanyol on Wednesday, while third-tier club Racing Santander hosts Almeria.
Alcorcon leapt from obscurity in 2009 when it dealt Madrid a 4-0 thrashing in the Copa. In the last round, the modest club advanced after winning 2-0 at topflight Granada.
Racing pulled off an even bigger upset when it won 2-0 at Sevilla.
The other matches are: Real Betis vs. Athletic Bilbao; Real Sociedad vs. Villarreal; and Rayo Vallecano vs. Levante.

From 5/6 to 1/8/2010 the Museum Folkwang is showing two exhibitions on contemporary video art. These are the first presentations in the exhibition rooms in the basement of the listed old building, renovated thanks to the support of the Folkwang Museumsverein and the Wolff-Gruppe.
The selection of works for the exhibition Captured while Vanishing looks back to the beginning of video art in the Folkwang Collection. Under the supervision of the Director of the day, Paul Vogt, a video studio was set up in the Museum Folkwang where young artists could produce videos directly. From the 1970's video exhibitions and festivals took place regularly. The Museum Folkwang is taking up this tradition again. Apart from the two exhibitions, regular, thematic screenings entitled Video Folkwang will present recent video productions.
In the exhibition a number of works will be shown that were produced in the Folkwang video studio such as Ulrike Rosenbach's Frauenkultur-Kontaktversuch from 1977. For the first time since 1981, Marcel Odenbach's installation 100 Intellektuelle beten einen Öltank, also made in that period, is on show. Apart from classics of video art (Nam June Paik, Klaus von Bruch and Jean-Francois Guiton), new acquisitions from today's artists such as Darren Almond, Deimantas Narkeviĉius, Kimsooja, Michal Rovner, Jana Sterbak und guests such as Romeo Grünfelder, Erik Lanz oder Patrick Borchers are on display. The poetic title refers to the various facets of the medium, whose images are temporary and fleeting. The moments of "vanishing" is both metaphor and leitmotif of video work.
Since 2009 the Museum Folkwang's video collection has been systematically process and academically studied, digitalized and restored. In includes nearly 300 U-matic cassettes and other formats. Digitalization of the collection is supported by funding from the State of North Rhine Westphalia. In the near future, a publication on the video collection is planned, as are further presentations of the collection.
A short guide to both exhibitions with texts by the curator Sabine Maria Schmidt is available at the cash desk in the foyer of the Museum Folkwang for 2 Euro.

|Bruins crush Flames, 9-0, behind Tuukka Rask's latest shutout
|01.05.12 at 9:27 pm ET
Since losing to the Stars on Saturday night, the Bruins may have developed a habit of blowing teams out of the water. They did so for the second straight night Thursday, crushing the Flames, 9-0, behind Tuukka Rask's third shutout of the season.
This one was never close following Tyler Seguin's tally 74 seconds into the game, and the Bruins weren't afraid to pile it on once again. Patrice Bergeron and Nathan Horton each had two-goal nights, while the B's also received goals from Milan Lucic, David Krejci, Chris Kelly and Daniel Paille.
The Bruins picked up the win without forward Brad Marchand, who was out with flu-like symptoms. The B's certainly made due without the 23-year-old, as Bergeron's line still produced three goals.
The Bruins will next play on Saturday when they host the Canucks in a rematch of the 2011 Stanley Cup finals.
— No Marchand? No problem. Pouliot was superb in filling in for the ill winger on the second-line, getting four shots on goal and assisting Seguin and Bergeron's goals. Benoit Pouliot did a nice job of stealing the puck in the neutral zone, feeding Seguin to set top Bergeron's goal in the second period. He now has 13 points (seven goals and six assists) in 31 games this season. He got secondary assists on Seguin's goal and Bergeron's second tally.
The three assists for Pouliot matched a career-high, and it doubled his assist total this season.
— More of the same from Rask. The B's backup lowered his league-best goals-against average and save percentage with the shutout, and has now allowed just one goal over his last five games. Scary to think that this is a guy who might not even get a start in the postseason.
– Good to see Paille score a shorthanded goal on the breakaway. Very quietly — a secret that's been kept off the stat sheet for the most part — Paille has been putting together a heck of a season. He now has seven goals on the season, and if he had a better finishing touch he could easily have double that.
— Joe Corvo was a plus-4 on the night despite not picking up a point in the game with a game-high seven shots on goal. His plus/minus was best among the Bruins, while Flames defenseman Chris Butler was a horrific minus-7. In Butler's case, Wednesday's game could ruin him in that category for the season.
— Given how many goals the B's scored on the night, of course it was another night in which the Bruins scored goals within a minute of each other. Bergeron's first goal and Kelly's tally came 47 seconds apart, marking the 13th time this season the B's have scored two goals in less than a minute.
— Nothing.
|Teammates defend Tyler Seguin, but they haven't missed meetings
|12.08.11 at 12:24 pm ET
Are you ready for Tyler Seguin's apology for skipping a team meeting and being scratched as a result?
"I talked about it the other day," Seguin said Thursday. "I've already kind of moved on and am getting ready for tonight's game."
That's all Seguin would say on the matter, as the Bruins would not permit further questions about his actions in Winnipeg and the discipline he's received. He will be in the lineup Thursday against the Panthers.
While Seguin was not allowed to elaborate on his confusing time zone mixup excuse, teammates did not shed light on the matter.
Jordan Caron, who was rooming with Seguin when the team arrived early Tuesday in Winnipeg, said that he simply thought Seguin was sleeping a few minutes later Tuesday morning.
"It was an accident. I got up real early and didn't want to wake him up," Caron said after Thursday's morning skate. "I went to breakfast, and then the meeting started. We tried calling him a few times. It's an accident. I don't think it's anybody's fault. It happens."
Caron noted that Seguin was indeed in the room, and that "he wasn't out or anything." The Bruins arrived in Winnipeg early Tuesday morning after playing in Pittsburgh Monday night.
"We came in really late. We went to bed at the same time and I woke up really early and went and got breakfast," he said. "I didn't want to wake him up first. It was an accident."
The Bruins did not permit questions about the incident during Seguin's media availability, with the second-year forward saying only the following: "I talked about it the other day. I've already kind of moved on and am getting ready for tonight's game."
Like Seguin, Nathan Horton was once a top-5 pick (third overall in 2003). Has he ever missed a meeting?
"I haven't," Horton said. "I'm too afraid to miss them, so I show up real early. Things do happen, and you just can't let it happen I guess."
Seguin received a talking to from Shawn Thornton Tuesday, but Horton said that more than one player talked to the youngster about it.
"I think a lot of guys have [spoken to him]," Horton said. "He obviously knows what he did wrong. It's just, try to forget about it and move on, and try not to let it happen again."
Dennis Seidenberg also said he has never missed a meeting in his career. He did, however, defend Seguin by echoing the youngster's claim that he missed the meeting because he still had his phone on Boston time.
"He missed adapting to a time change, or changing the time on his cell phone," Seidenberg said. "The wakeup call just didn't go off, so that's why he missed."
It was then pointed out that, if the phone story is to believed, Seguin would have woken up an hour early.
"Oh yeah, that's true," Seidenberg said with a laugh.
Asked then whether he bought Seguin's excuse, Seidenberg laughed and remarked, "I have no idea. I've got nothing."
All kidding aside, Nathan Horton has never missed a meeting in his career. Dennis Seidenberg has never missed a meeting. Combined, that's 17 seasons without a single meeting missed. Tyler Seguin has missed "more than a few" in one season and two months. Pun very intended:
That's alarming.

|Nathan Horton touches on everything: Concussion, depression and bad penalties
|11.02.11 at 1:57 pm ET
Speaking with the media for the first time in nearly two weeks amidst his cold start to the season, Bruins right wing Nathan Horton touched on how things have been for him to begin his second season of the Bruins. Horton heavily implied that his struggles are somewhat related to the concussion he suffered in Game 3 of the Stanley Cup finals against the Canucks.
Horton is long removed from symptoms of his concussion, which ended his postseason, but he said that he still hasn't gotten back to feeling satisfied with his game since the hit from Aaron Rome.
"I'm still trying to get my game back," Horton said. "I obviously don't feel 100 percent out there. I'm not myself, you know? I'm just trying to get that back. Last game, I thought we played better. Hopefully we can build off it."
Asked specifically whether he was dealing with anything physical, Horton replied, "No, no."
"Obviously I just need to get my timing and stuff," he said. "I still don't feel like I'm myself out there. Like, I'm fine, but I just need to be better obviously. That's it. I just need to be better."
Horton said that he has not had any issues with depression, a symptom of post-concussion syndrome.
Here's the rest of what Horton had to say:
On playing with Milan Lucic and David Krejci:
"Obviously they help. I've said a ill ion times that they're great players. I played with them last year, so it definitely feels more comfortable for me."
On whether he felt it would take time before he would be comfortable again:
"I had never had a concussion or anything like that. I didn't know what to expect coming in. Obviously it has, but I've just got to keep working through it. I know I've got to be better, and I can be better. It's just a matter of time. I want to be better, so I think it's got to come sooner or later."
On whether the penalties he's taken have been out of frustration:
"Obviously in the Carolina game, yeah, but in the other ones, not really, no. I just try to get in there. Guys are turning and I'm just kind of still finishing my check a little bit, and that's how it happens. Except for the one game, [no]."
On the fact that the bad penalties have happened more than once:
"I mean I guess I'm getting myself in the wrong spot at the wrong times, but there's a lot of calls that are being missed out there, too. I obviously have to be more cautious of when I do it, but if they're not a call a lot of them that they get on you, you're obviously going to get mad and want to do something, too. It's just a matter of holding back and not getting that last whack in, because I guess that's what they're calling."
On being physical coming off concussion:
"I've got hit, I've hit some people, but obviously I haven't gotten killed. I've gotten hit as much as you can, I guess. I have gotten hit pretty hard. Again, I'm just trying to forget what happened and just move forward."
On whether he thinks about his concussion when he plays:
"I'm only human. I do think of it. I think anybody else, anybody would that was in my situation. It's not easy, obviously, but again, I'm still trying. I want to be better, and I think that's what matters."
On whether he is depressed:
"Nope. No depression issues. Other than the fact that I want to do better, that's about it. No depression issues or anything."
On opening up about his concussion:
"Whenever it's brought up, I try to forget about it. I definitely want to move on, and it seems like it's just kind of dragging on. People keep asking about it, so I'm going to talk about it, but obviously I don't want to talk about it. I want to forget about it, and that's it. I feel fine. Now I just want to be better."
On avoiding the media:
"I'm not giving an excuse or anything. I'm just saying obviously I want to be better and that's it. I just think I haven't been around. I don't know."
On whether he is dealing with a lack of motivation:
"I actually feel like I'm trying. I'm backchecking. I think it's all about when I get the puck, or when I don't have the puck, I'm just thinking too much. When you think too much, it doesn't go the way you want it too. When you're not thinking too much, it just falls into place, and good things happen. Definitely, that's what I want to get back to here."
On whether his concussion impact preparation for season:
"Definitely. It did interrupt my summer. '¦ It was a short summer, but definitely a tough one. I'm just trying to forget it, like I said, start doing better and playing more like myself and let this pass through. That's what I want to get back to doing."
|Practice notes: Mark Recchi stops by, Adam McQuaid 'symptom-free'
|10.26.11 at 1:48 pm ET
WILMINGTON — Adam McQuaid was declared "symptom-free" by head coach Claude Julien after the defenseman once again. He will be a game-time decision when the Bruins play the first game of a home-and-home against the struggling Canadiens on Thursday.
McQuaid has played in only three games this season, missing the season-opener with an illness and being held out of the last four games with a neck injury that the team had been treating as a concussion.
Some other notes from practice:
– Retired forward Mark Recchi was in the house at Ristuccia Arena, sitting up top with management as he watched his former team prepare for the Habs. No word on how he feels about Max Pacioretty's wrist injury.
– Julien said his move to switch Rich Peverley and Nathan Horton was done in an effort to create a little more depth and a little more production. Peverley got off to a good start this season when skating with Brad Marchand and Patrice Bergeron, so getting that line going would be big for the B's. Marchand has been held without a point in the last four games, and said after practice that if he can get going, as an energy player he can create a ripple effect on the rest of the team.
Krejci said he hasn't liked the start he's gotten off to, so the move to have Horton with he and Benoit Pouliot isn't all about just getting Horton going.
– Speaking of Marchand, he and the other players to visit Children's Hospital Tuesday weighed in on the experience and their costumes. The best line came from Marchand, who said there was a child who honestly thought Zdeno Chara was dressed as an alien in his bunny costume. Marchand was Prince Charming, and asked why he wasn't Aladdin for the sake of skipping out on a shirt, said that Adam McQuaid's Fred Flinstone costume was too similar.
– Some of our friends in the Montreal media are in town already, with one asking Chara about potentially playing against Pacioretty if he is indeed healthy enough to go in one of the upcoming games. Chara responded by saying, "I'm just happy to play the game."
– The Bruins worked on the shootout late in practice, with Horton providing perhaps the prettiest of goals when he beat Tim Thomas glove-side.
– Tyler Seguin broke a pane of glass with a wrist-shot in practice. That's a heck of a shot when it's on net.
|Nathan Horton says he thought Tim Gleason wanted to fight, reflects on disappointing start
|10.19.11 at 3:48 pm ET
Nathan Horton did not speak to the media after his roughing double-minor with 8:30 remaining in a one-goal game essentially secured a Bruins' loss against the Hurricanes Tuesday night. On Wednesday, Horton faced both the media and a sign from his coach that his slow start needs to end quickly.
After skating on the second line in practice for the first time all season (click here to see the Bruins' revamped lines, which featured a demotion for Horton and a jump to the first line for Chris Kelly), Horton shed light on Tuesday's incident in which he continuously punched Hurricanes defenseman Tim Gleason, who had declined to fight.
Though Gleason, who had slashed Horton, kept his gloves on and did not engage Horton after his challenge, the Bruins' right wing said Wednesday that he was unaware the Hurricanes defenseman did not want to go.
"I thought he wanted to fight," Horton said. "I turned around and waited for him. He kept acting like he was going to, but it was not the right time. I know that. It was just a little frustration, I guess."
Added Horton: "I don't know what [Gleason] was thinking. I just thought he wanted to [fight] because he turned around and slashed me. I turned around and he was right there. He was looking at me the whole time, and I thought he nodded his head. It's my fault. Obviously I can't be taking penalties like that, especially after we just scored."
Losing his cool Tuesday hasn't been the only bad thing to happen to Horton this season. An incredibly strong starter last season (he led the B's with nine points through six games), Horton has just two points through six contests this season, a goal and an assist.
"It's not something where I want to be, or as a team, not playing the way we can. We just need to get back to playing the way we can, especially myself, playing the way I can."
The type of play to which Horton is likely referring is that of a power forward, as he displayed at points last season. One knock on Horton throughout his entire career has been his tendency to disappear for games at a time, and motivation was something with which he struggled as a member of the Panthers prior to coming to Boston.
Both Horton and the Bruins, who are now 2-4-0 on the season, seemed to be turning a corner on Saturday when the 26-year-old scored the game-tying goal, his first tally of the season, in a game the B's would eventually win in a shootout against the Blackhawks. In a season in which positive signs have been scarce, the Bruins were unable to build any momentum from the win, as they suffered a 4-1 loss to the Hurricanes that got out of hand late.
"You can always think that way, but until you actually do it, it doesn't matter," Horton said of taking the Chicago win as a positive step. "Obviously, we got back to playing the way that we were before that, and it's not going to work. As you can see, we didn't win."
All of Horton's struggles and the team's frustrations coincided in ugly fashion when Horton took his costly penalty late in the game.
"We're not scoring, me personally or the team," Horton said. "We're not playing how we want to play. It's just a little bit of frustration there. It was a bad time, obviously. I didn't mean to hurt my team there, but that's the way it happened and I can't change it now."
With new lines and three tough home games coming up against the Maple Leafs, Sharks and Canadiens, Horton and the B's have to hope at this point that there's nowhere to go but up. As such, Horton expressed no frustration with the fact that he was demoted and taken off Milan Lucic's line.
"I think there definitely comes a time when you have to change it," he said. "[Claude Julien]'s been overly patient with us, and we definitely need to start turning things around now.
|Five stats on the Bruins through five games
|10.17.11 at 6:28 pm ET
Five games into last season, one could hardly tell the Bruins were going to be Stanley Cup champions, but a couple of things were apparent. For starters, it was clear that Tim Thomas was capable of playing at a high level again after his offseason hip surgery, and it seemed that Nathan Horton had it in him to play some big games for the B's.
Now five games into this season, there are a few things that are apparent about this team, though injuries to the likes of David Krejci and Adam McQuaid have made it tough to effectively gauge some things.
The Bruins started off the season in a 1-3-0 funk, but may be coming out of it after their 3-2 shootout victory over the Blackhawks Saturday in Chicago. Up next is a four-game home stand with the Hurricanes, Maple Leafs, Sharks and Canadiens coming to town.
"I feel we're turning the corner here," coach Claude Julien said Monday of the team after five games. "I liked our game in Chicago, the way we progressed through tut the day. Today in practice we seemed to have a much better pace. Hopefully that's a good sign of us turning the corner."
Here are five quick stats on the Bruins through five games, with a look at last season as well.
1. Tyler Seguin leads the Bruins with five points, which is a little less than a quarter of his 22 points from all of last season. He also leads the team with a plus-3 rating and has 16 shots on goal, good for tops amongst forwards and second only to defenseman Dennis Seidenberg.
2. Last season, Horton led the team with seven points through five games. This season, he has a goal and an assist through five contests, struggling mightily in the first few games of the season before seemingly finding himself of late. Bottom-six forwards Gregory Campbell, Chris Kelly and Jordan Caron (who has only played in three games) are the only Bruins' forwards with less than his five shots on goal.
3. Thomas has won two and lost two this season, allowing eight goals in four games. Five games into last season, Thomas had allowed three goals in four games, and had won all four of his starts. He picked up his first shutout in the second game of the 2010-11 season and went on to have two more by the end of the month.
4. Bruins were 4-for-19 on the power play through five games last season. This season, they are 1-for-21, as they have not scored on the man advantage since Brad Marchand scored on the team's first power play of the season.
5. Seidenberg leads the B's in ice time with an average of 25:26 a night yet also has a minus-2 rating that is tied for worst on the team. Further proof that plus-minus rarely tells the whole story.

It is in this region of grotesque and tragic illusion and grotesque and tragic reality that we find what is permanent in Kipling, not in his precocious and cleverish dealings with Simla flirtations and Mrs Hauksbee.Tompkins brackets this story with "The Other Man" in this collection, "A Wayside Comedy" in Wee Willie Winkie, and the later "Mrs Bathurst". She notes that the horror of "Beyond the Pale" is enhanced by its matter-of-fact narration.
At the opening of that shocking - deliberately shocking - story, "Beyond the Pale" ... he warns that: 'A man should, whatever happens, keep to his own caste, race and breed'.And Marghanita Laski (p. 39), in a passage called "The Interface and the Borderline" discusses relations between the races. and looks at some of the stories that reflect this thorny question, including "On the City Wall" in Soldiers Three:
The affair of Trejago and little Bisesa could never have come to good. Lasting amatory relationships between sahibs and Indian women were indeed beyond the pale; the converse, memsahib with Indian, was unthinkable. But the men were often lonely and the women exquisitely lovely. Kipling's most moving story of an inter-racial relationship is "Without Benefit of Clergy" (in Life's Handicap).See also:

When looking for team shirts I based my selection on which company had an excavator graphic for free use. When ordering things were easy and then the added bonus of sending the website to each of our team members for them to choose their sizes- so helpful and saved me a tonne of frustration! After placing our order they made every effort to satisfy us and keep us completely in the creation process. Our shirts were shipped and delivered on the day promised and we were blown away by the awesomeness of each one. We are more than please with our order and I will be recommending to everyone!

The material of the jersey shirt is horrible. It fits like a potatoe sack. I'm embarrassed to wear these shirts , waste of money. I have lost confidence ordering shirts that represent my business online and will most likely look for a local shirt printer to replace these uniforms and shirts in the future.

Best '80s TV Shows
But in TV land, the sisters were doin' it for themselves and finally getting respect as cops, war nurses and working moms; iconic shows like 'Hill Street Blues,' 'St. Elsewhere' and 'L.A. Law' would forever change (for the better) cop, medical and legal dramas; and no idea was too high concept to fill a primetime spot (time-travelling physicist? check; housewife-turned-CIA op? check; New York City beauty in love with a subterranean monster? check).
The bottom line: They all add up to 10 years of fine channel surfing -- and our awesome list of the 40 best series of the 1980s.
'The Cosby Show' Cast: Where Are They Now?
It's been named one of the best sitcoms of all time, changed the way African-Americans are portrayed on television, spawned a successful spin-off ('A Different World') and helped pave the way for shows from 'Fresh Prince of Bel-Air' to 'Everybody Hates Chris.'
So what have Cliff, Claire and their 'Cosby' brood been up to since we last invited them into our living rooms? Who went on to more sitcom success, who won Tonys ... and which cast members found their spouses while working with the Huxtables? Read on to find out.

TBS loves Engvall
However, TBS has a throwback family comedy, one in The Cosby Show mode, and they're sticking with it. TBS's The Bill Engvall Show has just been given a third season renewal. The sitcom will be back in the summer 2009 with ten new episodes.
I've watched The Bill Engvall Show and enjoyed it. It's meant to evoke Cosby, but I also found a lot of Everybody Loves Raymond and Home Improvement in it as well, and that's a good thing. Engvall's a funny guy, and he's greatly aided in the show by sitcom vet Nancy Travis as his smart, attractive spouse.
Thoughts on coverage of the Democratic convention - VIDEO
Good luck finding a balance between astute punditry, quality reporting, over-hyped production and clear coverage of the activities on the floor and stage by the political party. It's not easy. Here's some things, good and bad, that I've noticed in these first three days:
1) The Obama family are the Huxtables
After Michelle Obama's speech on Monday night, her two daughters -- Sasha and Malia -- rushed onto the stage and Barack appeared via video hook up to speak with them and Michelle, congratulating her for the speech. It was a perfect TV moment. As good as her speech was, the image of the family was even better. In a voice that reminded me of Rudi Huxtable, Sasha talked to her father and chirped, "I love you, Daddy." The Obama's became The Cosby Show. If that doesn't connect to the TV audience, nothing will. (Check out the video below.)
Jenna Fischer wasn't sexy enough to play Sydney Bristow
That's one of interesting revelations (though that one has been known for quite some time) in the new book Mickey Rooney as Archie Bunker and Other TV Almosts by Eila Mell. It lists a bunch of actors and actresses who almost got roles we know and love. For example, Jenna Fischer (The Office) tried out for the role of Sydney Bristow on Alias, but was deemed not sexy enough for the part (as we told you about before). Whitney Houston didn't want the role of Bill Cosby's daughter on The Cosby Show so the role went to Lisa Bonet. And Leonardo DiCaprio almost played David Hasselhoff's son on Baywatch (the role went to Brandon Call and later Jeremy Jackson). That one isn't surprising at all, considering DiCaprio did work on Growing Pains and other shows.
Five memorable TV dads - VIDEOS
So, here's my five favorite sitcom dads, the ones I related to the most. That means I've excluded single dads and animated dads. That means Hank Hill, Homer Simpson, Peter Griffin and Fred Flintstone are ineligible for my list. Also, this is strictly sitcom pops.

The Five: Most influential characters
I'm not even going to pretend to narrow down the five most influential television characters ever... I'll just give you the list of five TV characters that had the biggest effect on me. Interestingly, none of mine are from cartoons. List your Top Five in the comments.
His name's Deon, but you can call him 'Bud'
With Scrubs on hold, I went to NBC's webpage for Teachers and found out who the guy was. It's Deon Richmond, y'all! He played Rudy's friend Kenny ("but I call him 'Bud'") on The Cosby Show. Since then, he appeared in Eddie Murphy's Raw and Spike Lee's Mo Better Blues. He's also appeared on a string of sitcoms, including a recurring role on Sister, Sister.
It's great to see him, but I'm still not going to watch that show.
A late night thank you to Nick at Nite and Hallmark Channel
As my newborn son (part of a twin set; the other is a girl) rests in my arms, I just want to take this moment to thank two cable channels for being there for us as we struggled through the sleepless first night home: Nick@Nite and The Hallmark Channel.
Yes, I said the Hallmark Channel!
The Hallmark Channel was on during the 11 P.M. till 1 A.M. shift with four episodes of M.A.S.H . When I was younger I never liked the early episodes with Frank Burns, Colonel Blake, and Trapper John. Now I like those more, as well as the first two seasons where Colonel Potter and B.J. Hunnicutt joined the cast (these are the episodes The Hallmark Channel is showing now). Once Frank Burns left and Charles Winchester joined the 4077th the show got a bit too preachy for me, and Col. Potter began to spout too many southern cliches.

Zimbabweans in 2011 consumed some 1.67 million hectolitres of beer, the highest ever sales.
But as beer drinking soared, the output from the country's farms sank to its worst since independence in 1980 (bar 2008 when inflation hit 500 billion percent.)
It seems nation of once hard-working peasant farmers are now spending their money in the pub instead of ploughing it into farming as they used to, according to Charlie Taffs, head of one of the country's farmers' unions. "That is an indication of a consumption-driven society," he said.
In 2000 President Robert Mugabe launched a campaign of violent expropriation against the country's 4,000-strong white farming community, in the name of a revolutionary land reform programme that he claimed was to restore to black peasant farmers the land seized from them by white colonial governments half a century ago.
But even audits by Mugabe's Zanu-PF party confirm that the large and highly productive spreads of the white farmers have been taken over largely by politicians, judges, top policemen, generals and editors of state newspapers loyal to Mugabe - widely dubbed "weekend farmers."
Agricultural output has largely collapsed and the country that was renowned as "Africa's breadbasket" has become hit by shortages and hunger.
The government's statistical office reports that for the summer rain season in November, 1.2 million hectares of land was planted with maize, the national staple. That should have been almost enough to produce the 1.8 million tonnes Zimbabweans eat annually.
But instead - in a tragic repetition of every year since 2000 - the agriculture ministry managed to deliver seed and supplies only when the rains were already well underway. It has long been established by Zimbabwean agronomists that maize planted after December 31 will not bear ripen.
Taffs and other unions are warning that no more than 700,000 tonnes can be expected when this year's crop is harvested - 1.1 million tones short of demand.
It will have to be met from costly imports. UNICEF, the United Nations children's agency, is already warning that 3.5 million children across the country will need to get emergency rations.
This season, the provision of cheap seed and fertilizer was renamed "the presidential inputs programme" - turning a routine central government-funded operation into an electoral gimmick to persuade farmers to vote for the 87-year-old Mugabe in elections expected sometime in the next 15 months.
"It was an unmitigated disaster," said Taffs. Farmers were only able to begin collecting their inputs on New Year's Day, when the rainy season was half over. Peasant farmers watched as political heavyweights pushed their way to the front of the queues at rural depots and loaded up their trucks. Even urban minibuses were allowed to collect seeds and fertilizer.
They were seen selling the same subsidized fertilizer at the bus ranks in Harare a few hours later, at double the price they had got it for, reported the state-controlled daily Herald newspaper.
Most peasant farmers went home with little or nothing. "Every year it has failed," Taffs said. "There is no accountability for the people who get the inputs. People can do what they like."
But across the Zambezi River in neighbouring Zambia there is an astonishing reversal of roles between the two countries. For decades until Mugabe's land grab in 2000, Zimbabwean farmers were producing surpluses that fed Zambians, whose own agriculture system was moribund.
Then in 2008, then Zambian president Rupiah Banda adopted new policies. Peasant farmers were sold cheap inputs, but they were delivered by September, in good time for farmers to prepare for the rains. Farmers were also closely monitored to ensure they produced crops, and then paid for the fertilizer and seed after they had sold their harvest. If they failed, they were disqualified from inputs the next season.
The result was phenomenal. Last year Zambian farmers produced a record surplus of 1.6 million tonnes - all of it exported to Zimbabwe. "There was full accountability," said Taffs. "The programme has come to an end now, but they have been given a lift up, and it worked."
In Zimbabwe, Mugabe's political farmers sold the inputs they were provided, and bought beer instead. -Sapa-dpa

Photo blog: Flying through the Air in Belize
Belize has a multitude of little sand islands, called cayes along its coast. The smaller cayes are nothing more than a pile of sand on some coral while the biggest one (Ambergris Caye) spans 40 by 1.6 km in size. Ambergris Caye is the most developed tourism destination in Belize with a big expat community enjoying fishing, scuba diving and hanging out at the pool.
Last week, I was fortunate enough to have to attend a training on Ambergris Caye. One of the perks of working in tourism is that you get to visit a lot of tourism destinations and nifty hotels.
On the way back (flying in a 9 seat Cessna) I took a couple of pictures of my commute from work:

from Londonderry Sentinel
Shocking levels of abuse – nurses, doctors and social workers were physically attacked 780 times in the Western Health and Social Care Trust (WHSCT) last year – are not being fully reported to the PSNI, according to a police Freedom of Information (FOI) release.
In 2009/10 just eight assaults at Altnagelvin – the largest facility in the Western Trust – were reported to the PSNI in Foyle.
This is in spite of WHSCT figures that show there were over 1,277 cases of verbal and physical abuse against healthcare staff in the Western Trust area in 2009/10.
Nurses, doctors and social workers were physically attacked 780 times last year in the Trust; they were subjected to verbal abuse on 497 separate occasions. Only in Belfast were there as many assaults.
But according to information released by the PSNI a mere fraction of these assaults are being reported.
"Over the past five years the police in Londonderry were made aware of a mere 48 assaults at Altnagelvin – despite it being the Trust's largest facility.
Nine assaults were reported in 2005/6; 8 in 2006/7; 11 in 2007/8; 12 in 2008/9; and 8 in 2009/10.
The Western Trust said it remained committed to a "Zero Tolerance" campaign it launched last summer to deal with the problem.
A spokesperson said it was clear in its position that any form of violence and aggression was unacceptable.
A spokesperson commented: "Staff provide high quality care to patients and clients in both hospital and community settings and they must be allowed to do so without the fear of violence or attack.
"Staff are encouraged to report all incidents regardless of how low the severity and the Trust has processes in place to reduce the risk of incidents occurring."
The spokesperson continued: "The Trust has developed close working relationships with local PSNI teams who respond immediately to any call for assistance and who give us full co-operation.
"The figures reported to DHSSPS include all incidents such as verbal attacks, which is significantly higher than the figure referred to PSNI.
"The Trust continues to review and invest in the safety provisions in place, robustly challenges any incidents of attacks or abuse of staff and proactively works with staff in relation to any follow-up action.
"The Trust has in place a Zero Tolerance group and Health and Safety Group both of which work with staff representatives to address risks and to encourage staff to report appropriate incidents to the Police."

A bit of UX confusion when using the checkmark to both signify "complete" and "save"
I really like the app, but I still hesitate when saving changes to a task. When clicking on a task you get 4 actions with icons (complete, postpone, notes, edit).
The complete action has a checkmark.
If I select edit I am taken to another screen where the top bar has 2 actions symbolized by icons only (an X for close and a checkmark for save).
Everytime I edit a task and want to save I search the screen for a save button because in a to do application I assume a checkmark means complete.
Not a big problem but an old fashioned floppy or just the word save may help eliminate the confusion caused by the checkmark meaning different actions on different screens.
All responses
Hello Chris,
Thank you for your feedback, we appreciate it and we will consider improving the UI in future updates. You're welcome to add a request for this change to our Votebox: http://todoist.com/Vote_iOS/
Best regards,
I do agree that the checkmark is confusing, but a floppy? seriously!? :-)
A few years from now noone will remember those anymore ...
Ah the poor floppy is constantly knocked down, but even to my kids (who don't even know what it actually is ) know that the weird square thing means save.

We won't know for certain until Thursday, but THR.com has some news on CW schedule moves:
CW is said to have settled on launching the hot new drama "Vampire Diaries" Thursday 8 p.m., paired with "Supernatural." "Vampire Diaries" would replace the staple in the time slot, departing veteran "Smallville," whose final ninth season would air on Friday, probably at 8 p.m.
The network is set to unveil its fall schedule Thursday in New York.
"Vampire Diaries," about a girl in a love triangle with two vampire brothers, is envisioned as a new tentpole series for Thursday night where the network already has built-in sci-fi audience with "Smallville" and "Supernatural."
Meanwhile, "Melrose Place" will almost certainly be paired with "90210," repeating the launch pattern for the original "Melrose Place," which followed "Beverly Hills, 90210" on Fox in fall 1992.
With its setting -- a co-ed residence of young models -- new drama "Beautiful Life" is a perfect scripted companion for "America's Next Top Model" and is expected to launch after the hit reality series on Wednesday.
CW's solidly-rated Monday lineup of "Gossip Girl" and "One Tree Hill" is expected to stay intact.

Los Alamos County Council revisited its decision to have a skate park built in front of Mesa Public Library when it met on Tuesday evening. After a grassroots effort spearheaded by Colleen and Jack Hanlon resulted in a petition with 324 signatures from people opposed to the library location, council acknowledged the strong opposition to the site and decided to direct staff to look at an alternate site, on the south side of the Community Building, between the parking lot and the building.

Today my husband and I decided to take our daughter Willow (20 months old) to the Canadian Museum of Nature here in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. This is our review of the museum.
The museum is fairly easy to get to as it is just off highway 417 on the Metcalfe exit. The only downside to the museum is that parking is not free – we were there for about an hour and a half and it cost us $7.00 so a three-four hour visit will cost you nearly the price of one person's admission. It cost us $18 each to get inside as we opted for the special exhibit that was on called "Whales: The Exhibition." Willow was free as she is under two. The museum is open right now, for summer hours, from 9AM – 6PM and is open a little later on Thursday and Friday evenings.
The museum is broken up into four floors plus the basement. Each floor has two annexes in which exhibits are displayed. In the basement is the animalium and the theatre, the first floor houses the dinosaurs and the cafeteria, the second floor featured the water exhibits and the mammals exhibit while the third floor housed the special exhibit featuring the whales as well as the Earth gallery. On the fourth and final floor, there is a discovery zone and a bird gallery. There are many closed off areas that are only accessible to staff and areas that are open for rentals for special events.
We arrived at around 10AM and we hit up the dinosaurs first as Willow LOVES dinosaurs. The first part is mostly fossils and information about dinosaurs but as you make your way through, you come to a set of real-to-life dinosaurs that were a huge hit with the people passing through. This was really fun for Willow as she loved looking at the model animals versus the fossils and information. She is only twenty months old after all!
After looking at the dinosaurs, we made our way downstairs to the animalium. I was actually sort of disappointed with this area. There are about twelve glass cases in one small(ish) room that house insects. Things like spiders and cockroaches and mealworms. While it was neat to see them, the area was small and you couldn't find some of the bugs that were on display. I remember visiting the museum years and years ago and the insect gallery was my favourite as it was extensive and more interactive but now it just seems a bit cut off from the museum and underwhelming.
After the insects, we headed up to the second floor where we visited the mammals gallery and the water gallery. These galleries were really neat! The mammals one was probably my favourite next to the dinosaurs. Inside, there are glass cases filled with real-to-life mammals. Mammals such as caribou, wolves, beavers and more. A true homage to Canadian mammalian life. Willow loved running from case to case looking at the animals and throughout that area there were animal sounds and fur that could be touched.
The water gallery was very neat too. When you first walk through the doors, you come straight into a scene with polar bears, which Willow loved. The rest of the exhibit features various fish tanks and a huge fossil of a whale. There are so many different species of fish and water life to look at in here. There is also a really pretty area where there are live cams of dolphins and whales at sea and you can sit and watch them. I actually took a nursing break here with Willow and it was so peaceful, she almost fell asleep! There is also a ship that the kids can play inside of and it features a kitchen and a bed cubby and different things to show them what life at sea is like. Really cute.
We didn't spend much time in the discovery zone, as Willow was getting pretty tired at that point, but it looks AWESOME for kids! Today, they had set up a few different craft projects which you could do and there were other interactive and fun activities that could be done. The bird gallery was neat to look at also and Willow loved hooting like an owl and caw'ing like a bird as we walked through.
The special exhibit, "Whale: The Exhibition", was okay but it wasn't worth the extra $6 per person in my opinion. It would be great if you were a whale fanatic or were teaching kids about whales and the kids were a bit older. However, it was filled with a ton of information and not as many interactive features so it was lost on Willow and since we were chasing around a toddler, it was lost on us too. Next time, I would skip the special exhibit unless it was something that we were REALLY into as a family.
We skipped the films (they have a 3D film as well) as Willow is a bit young.
Overall, I really enjoyed the museum. There are enough things inside to really amuse the little ones and the interactivity is great. There are gorgeous, bright and interactive screens throughout the entire museum, which will be amazing once Willow is a bit older and learning about specific animals or things in nature.
There are also a few little nooks for the little ones that kept her attention. There was a puzzle lying out on a table and a room with a puppet theatre, which Steve went into and did an impromptu puppet show and he even had another family watching him perform!
The museum has just recently had a facelift and it shows. It's clean, bright and the facilities are wonderful. The architecture is fantastic and there are so many beautiful things to take pictures of. We had a really fantastic time and will definitely go again in the future.
Have you been? Thinking about going? Leave a comment below so other parents, who might be thinking of making this a destination with their families, can hear about other people's opinions!

Alpaca owners shed light on industry
Business changing from breeding to sheering
For the past three years, Lyle and Sue Baskin have worked hard to bring their new dream to life.
At their first try at the Alpaca Show at T. Ed Garrison Livestock Arena in Clemson, all three of their new baby alpacas took either first or second in their categories.
It was an indication of how far the two and their farm have come.
Alapacas of Riverside Farm is a small farm in Clyde, N.C., just west of Asheville. The Baskins moved there when life got too complicated.
After living and working in Miami, Fla., for most of her life, Sue Baskin had had enough.
"You could never relax," she said. "My husband was driving 45 minutes each day to work. I was working all the time. There just wasn't any downtime."
After a back injury, Mrs. Baskin just wanted to get away. So, the couple bought a house on a piece of property in the mountains of North Carolina. In a year, another 2 acres opened up across the street from them.
"We thought, if we don't buy this property, someone is going to come in and build a house right in front of ours," she said.
But they needed a way to pay for the investment.
That's when they found out about alpacas.
Native to Peru and Chile, alpacas produce a coat that is used in South America as a soft, warm fiber.
But in America, the animals are bred to produce more alpacas.
"They're prized for their fiber. It's just as warm as wool, but it doesn't have the lanolin and it doesn't have that hard, scratchy feeling to the fiber. It's virtually impossible to be allergic to it," Mrs. Baskin said. "When there are 500,000 in the U.S., someone will open up a commercial milling operation to process their coats, we've been told."
Right now there are about 100,000 alpacas in America, said alpaca breeder Dan Radulescu of Smoky Mountain Alpacas in Stuart, Va. It will take another four to five years to reach the 500,000 goal.
"Right now a baby brings in much more money in the market than the fiber does," Mr. Radulescu said. "But here they were looking at 60 percent fiber and 40 percent confirmation or the build of the animal. They are following the Australian contests. There, the large shepherds are changing from sheep to alpacas because they are easier to care for and the fiber is more valuable.
For the Baskins, alpacas were a natural choice. Healthy, easy-to-care for animals, they are accustomed to the mountains, and more of them can occupy less space, a cost-saving measure for the couple. The couple sells not only the baby alpacas, but also their dung to a local organic gardener.
Mrs. Baskin said they do whatever they can to make up for their $100,000 investment into alpacas.
