We've just seen the end of the first arc in SUPERMAN/WONDER WOMAN by Charles Soule and Tony Daniel. So far, the series has mixed high octane action along with character development as we see the two heroes find their way in the world as heroes and as a couple. With the huge ending of the arc, we took the chance to ask Soule about the issue as well as what we can look forward to in the coming issues.
COMIC VINE: We see the two get a brief moment to discuss whether or not being together is affecting the way they work. Is that conversation over or will they touch upon it again later?
CHARLES SOULE: What I was trying to do with the end sequence of issue #6 was to try to put an end to that conversation. They know there are things they can do better together than apart. When push really came to shove, they came through. It was only something they could have done together. I don't want to keep rehashing issues that they've already talked out. I mean, that can happen in actual relationships, but I think it would get boring for readers. They will have plenty of new challenges which to discuss, but that one I think is done.
I think, in a general sense, the first arc has been kind of about them feeling each other out and understanding who each other are. Then the second arc will be more about them changing and growing and having a relationship. It'll be them seeing how they can still be together even though they're changing and growing.
CV: We get to see some new armor from Hephaestus. Can we assume he's responsible for the Invisible Jet as well?
CS: Yeah. I thought I made that very clear. He made them the sky chariot, basically, that they used. It was something that he had and used from time to time. He lent it to them so they could sneak up on Zod and Faora.
CV: Okay, I just wanted to make sure I wasn't just assuming.
There's been some confusion, in the New 52, over what has or hasn't happened with Doomsday. We've seen him in this series and he'll be in the upcoming crossover, how involved are you with fleshing out who Doomsday is in the New 52?
CS: Considering I'm one of the writers doing that event, I would say I'm pretty heavily involved. We are working on an event that is huge. We're going to do a lot of innovated stuff. It'll tell you who he is and what he's been doing. You're going to get a lot of that in the upcoming one-shot, which I believe is on sale in May. If you're looking for Doomsday, that's where you're going to want to look.
CV: The word "love" comes up finally. Have you had this scene in your mind since you first started writing these two?
CS: Yup. I had the entire scene basically from when they get thrown into that abandoned nuclear plant, I knew everything that was going to happen before I started writing issue #1. Which is great. When you can build to an ending… It's never easy writing a series like this with it all being as interconnected as it ended up being. But I knew that was how we were going to end. I've been looking forward to it for months and months at this point. It's great to have people finally be able to read it to see what I was building towards. And Tony Daniel, you can't discount Tony's execution of that moment. He made it look exactly like I thought in my head, or maybe even better. The whole team just knocked it out of the park in this series.
CV: This first arc has been pretty epic. They've had to fight a powerful threat and we got a crazy ending. Do you plan to keep the momentum going or allow the two a moment to catch their breath?
CS: It's one of those things where urgency was always the watchword on the first arc. We wanted to make sure they felt they were having a hard time catching a breath. That's one of the challenges Superman and Wonder Woman face as a couple. There's always something going on. They don't really get that many quiet moments together. But, at the same time, I love writing the action. I also love writing character moments. So I've made a point of putting in some really strong character beats for them in the next few issues. I love that kind of writing. I think these books are like songs. If a song is just loud and in your face all the time, it's not that enjoy—well, I mean thrash metal is fine, but I like something that has some loud moments and some quiet moments. It adds up to a more enjoyable whole. That's what I'm trying to do with SUPERMAN/WONDER WOMAN.
CV: If they survive everything going on, will we see Superman vs Apollo, Round 2?
CS: That is something that is certainly in the back of my mind. You saw some of that with Strife, with what she talks about with Apollo, just before he unleashes the massive blast of sun that powers up Zod and Faora. She's like, "If you do do this, it could start up a huge war between the gods and all these superhumans, and that'd be fine with me, because I like that stuff." It's a plot point that I'm aware of. Certainly, they're not pals and that could be something that would be fun to do in the future. It wouldn't be right away. I think we've seen Apollo for the time being. Maybe we'll see him again but it might not be anytime soon.
CV: Do you plan to bring in any other Justice Leaguers in future issues?
CS: Yeah, absolutely. I don't want to spoil it too much though, but an even like Doomed, with a threat as big as Doomsday, many different heroes are going to get involved. It's not just going to be Superman and Wonder Woman. Although, of course, they would be the focus, in my title. The Doomed event, it touches pretty much all corners of the DCU. It's going to be really cool.
SUPERMAN/WONDER WOMAN #6 is now on sale. SUPERMAN: DOOMED begins in May.

Give to Backus
Your gift to Backus is a gift to the entire community. We are always grateful for our donors' support. Our benefactors make sure Backus stays on course.
At Backus, we rely on our donors to help chart the course of healthcare for eastern Connecticut. Last year — even as the national recession tightened its grip — donors helped keep healthcare moving forward. Our community provided $1.1 million in charitable gifts this past year. To generate those funds through hospital services would require additional revenues of $28 million, at a 4% operating margin.

Grand Marnier Soufflés
- 4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) butter, softened, plus additional for coating ramekins
- 1/2 cup sugar, plus additional for coating ramekins
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons Grand Marnier
- 2 tablespoons simple syrup
- 16 small amaretti cookies
- 1 1/4 cups whole milk
- 1/2 vanilla bean
- 4 large egg yolks
- 5 large egg whites
- 1/2 cup sugar
- Accompaniments: Confectioners' sugar, crème anglaise
- Special equipment: 6 (8-ounce) ramekins, large baking pan
Preheat oven to 375°F. Generously butter ramekins and coat with sugar, knocking out excess. Bring large saucepan of water to boil.
In small bowl, stir together 4 tablespoons butter and flour to form paste.
In second small bowl, stir together Grand Marnier and simple syrup. Add cookies, tossing lightly to coat, and let soak while preparing remaining ingredients.
Transfer milk to large saucepan. Split 1/2 vanilla bean lengthwise and scrape seeds into milk. Add bean. Set over moderate heat and bring to boil. Remove from heat and whisk in butter-flour mixture. Return to moderate heat and cook, whisking consistently, until thickened and smooth, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat and whisk in egg yolks and 1 egg white. Transfer soufflé base to large bowl and discard vanilla bean.
In second large bowl, using electric mixer, beat remaining 4 egg whites just until soft peaks form. Gradually beat in 1/2 cup sugar.
Whisk 1/4 of beaten egg whites into soufflé base to lighten. Gently but thoroughly fold in remaining whites.
Spoon 1/2 of batter into ramekins, filling each halfway. (Alternatively, spoon batter into large pastry bag and pipe into ramekins.) Transfer 2 soaked cookies to each ramekin. Top with remaining batter. Arrange ramekins at least 1 1/2 inches apart in large baking pan and add enough hot water to pan to reach 2/3 up sides of ramekins.
Bake soufflés until puffed and golden, 20 to 25 minutes. Remove pan from oven and transfer ramekins to rack. Sift confectioners' sugar over, then transfer ramekins to dessert plates. With 2 forks, pull open center of each soufflé and pour some crème anglaise into opening. Serve immediately.

Tired of Takeout? YOU can cook real food simply and easily with meal plans! Meal planning has now been revolutionized! Customizable 'real food plans' couldn't be any EASIER! Try these REAL FOOD meal plans today!
I get asked for this recipe a lot…
Some facts on Kale:
Kale is the most nutrient dense green leafed vegetable. It aids in blood clotting, promotes healthy vision and retinal function, and fights cancer. My 3 year old really only eats this one veggie so we make this and eat it a lot when it is in season which luckily for us is quote often in Central Texas.
- One bunch Kale (any kind will work – dino or curly)
- turmeric or paprika (or both)
- 1-2 Tbsp coconut oil (where to buy)
- salt to taste (where to buy salt)
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. TIP: Put the coconut oil in a bowl and throw it in the oven so that it melts while you prep the kale.
Remove leaves from the stems and wash and thoroughly dry them (this helps them crisp up better). Spread the kale evenly as possible on a roasting pan or cookie sheet (you can line it with a silpat to make clean up easier). Sprinkle with paprika and turmeric.
Pour the oil over the kale and toss.
Cook for about 10-15 minutes (cooking time varies so keep your eye on it). It is ready when most pieces are crisp and crunchy!
Remove from oven and grind a little sea salt on top to taste.
Let it cool and then transfer to a bowl. If you have leftovers (which we sometimes do) then just cover the bowl with a dish towel – using plastic wrap or putting the kale in a closed container will make them instantly lose their crunch.
*Do not use Olive Oil or they will taste bitter

The President of the Methodist Church has called on Methodist people to celebrate God's generosity at Christmas by multiplying generosity themselves.
NHS Bood and Transplant, supported by church campaign fleshandblood, is encouraging people to think about blood donation this Christmas.
Ekklesia has not produced any Christmas or New Year cards of our own this year, but we are very happy to encourage you to buy some beautiful ones produced by our friend Carrie Gooch, a visual artist who is a member of the Iona Community. The proceeds go to back support and advocacy for asylum seekers.
As winter comes, the impacts of the government's cuts in social spending and welfare are increasingly tangible, as more and more people struggle to make ends meet.
Yesterday I received an email from John Lewis inviting me to "be the perfect host this Christmas". This would apparently be facilitated by the purchase of "cookware" and "serveware" which would enable me to "cook with ease from morning to night."
Present Aid, Christian Aid's virtual gift shop, which is backed by Ekklesia and others, has launched 22 new ethical gifts for Christmas 2013.

The Chancellor has received a copy of Charles Dickens' classic A Christmas Carol from Christians who say he risks returning Britain to Victorian times.
Though the job he has in hand is widely regarded as impossible, the Archbishop of Canterbury-elect, Justin Welby, has done more than enough already to suggest that he has the capacity to nudge the Church of England through the decidedly choppy waters of change.

Adjournment Debate - School Staffing.
Tuesday, 22 June 2004
Dáil Eireann Debate
Mr. Connolly: I thank the House for the opportunity to raise on the Adjournment the necessity for temporary teacher cover in instances where brief drops in pupil enrolment adversely affect educational standards.
I recently received representations regarding a two-teacher school at Knocknagrave, Tydavnet, County Monaghan. A school inspection to determine the number of pupils enrolled at the school was carried out on 30 September 2003. The number of pupils enrolled on that date determined the number of teachers allocated to the school the following September. However, the number of pupils enrolled at Knocknagrave national school at that time dropped below the two-teacher requirement for a period of eight school days. In mid-October 2003, 13 pupils were enrolled at the school, well in excess of that required for the allocation of two teachers the following September. The school principal has indicated that the number of pupils who attending the school in September 2004 would be 18, an indication of the growing number of pupils enrolling at the school.
A number of houses have recently been built in the area and planning permission is currently being sought for five more houses, an indication of a healthy future for that rural community. The board of management appealed the decision to remove one of its two teachers next September [1298]and had great faith in the process because they felt they had a good case. However, they were bitterly disappointed to discover the appeals board was sticking rigidly to the number of pupils enrolled on the particular day in 2003 when the number dipped below that required.
Many letters ensued between the Minister, the Department of Education and Science appeals board and the Taoiseach, all of whom stonewalled the school's case. I am requesting that temporary cover be provided in cases such as that which arose at this school. The system should not be so rigid as to reject such appeals. The Department should consider that an additional 18 pupils are now enrolled at the school, bringing the number to that required for a second teacher. If a second permanent teacher cannot be allocated to the school the Department should provide a temporary or substitute teacher for the 12 months involved. Such a post could also provide a student studying for a higher diploma in education with necessary teaching experience. The teaching methods of such teachers are inspected three times a year. That would be a way of dealing with this issue. Removal of a teacher from the school will have devastating consequences.
On top of having to teach eight classes, the principal of the school is required to prepare children for first communion, confirmation and entrance examinations to secondary schools. She has to take care of sick children and may have to take injured children to hospital. She also has to do administrative work, meet parents, organise school trips, encourage sport and attend to the remedial needs of students in the school. It is impossible to expect any teacher to perform all these tasks. The Department of Education and Science is in such cases paying principals to be glorified babysitters, and that is not acceptable. I am sure I have outlined only some of the principal's functions.
Some €175,000 was recently spent on Knocknagrave national school. Other national schools complain that there are too many children in their classrooms and that they have to teach in portak[1299]abins. Knocknagrave has a lot going for it. There will not be a single national school between Tyndavnet and Clogher, an area of 14 miles, if the current trend continues. I strongly urge the Minister to take on board my suggestion.
Minister for Social and Family Affairs (Mary Coughlan): Ba mhaith liom mo leithscéal pearsanta a ghabháil don Teachta nach bhfuil an tAire féin anseo. Ba mhaith liom mo bhuíochas a ghabháil leis an Teachta as ucht an ócáid a thabhairt dom cur in iúl don Teach mar gheall ar chúrsaí ins an Roinn. Rith sé liom nuair a bhí mé ag éisteacht leis an Teachta go bhfuil a fhios agam faoin scoil a raibh sé ag caint fói dtaobh di. Bhí mé féin ag caint leis an phríomhoide agus chuir sé in iúl dom na deacrachtaí, pearsanta agus eile, atá aige.
I am aware of the school to which the Deputy refers. I have had occasion to speak with the príomhoide of the school who drew this matter to my attention and, I am sure, to the attention of all elected representatives in the constituency of Cavan-Monaghan.
The mainstream staffing of a primary school is determined by reference to the enrolment of the school on 30 September of the previous year. The number of mainstream posts is determined by reference to a staffing schedule which is finalised for a particular school year following discussions with the education partners. The staffing schedule is set out in a circular which issues from the Department of Education and Science to all primary school boards of management. Accordingly, all boards are aware of the staffing position for their school in any school year.
The staffing schedule for the coming school year, 2004-05, is outlined in the Department's circular 03/04, which issued to all primary schools in April 2004 and is also available on the Department's website. The allocation of additional teaching posts in recent years for children with special needs and improvements in the staffing schedule together with a decline in enrolments has helped to ensure that the overall pupil-teacher ratio in primary schools has improved substantially.
An independent appeals board on mainstream staffing allocations was established in August 2002 and commenced operation at the beginning of the 2002-03 school year. The purpose of the board is to allow for the independent consideration of appeals under certain criteria against the mainstream staffing schedule as issued to schools. The appeals board allows for equitable and transparent treatment of all primary schools and its decision is final. It is not open to the Minister for Education and Science or his Department to interfere in this process. Details of the criteria and application date for appeal were issued to all schools.
[1300]The staffing schedule is designed to cater for increases and decreases in enrolment. There is no provision for temporary teachers to be allocated in instances where brief drops in pupil enrolment occur. On the basis of the question asked, the reply does not refer to the school mentioned by the Deputy. I appreciate that additional children attended the school after 30 September, but unfortunately the permeation would not be such that it would be part of the emergency schedule. I have listened to what the Deputy had to say and will inform my colleague, the Minister for Education and Science, of the difficulties being experienced by the two-teacher school in north Monaghan. Perhaps this matter can be pressed further outside the realms of the floor of the House.

Las Vegas, NV (KTNV) -- The Culinary Union Local 226 vote results are in. There was an overwhelming majority to end contract extensions.
Members voted on Thursday evening to end the extensions with unsettled casinos.
Union members met at the union hall to cast a ballot.
When votes were counted, 95-percent of members from unsettled properties who voted, voted to end the contract extensions with six Las Vegas Strip and ten downtown casinos.
They failed to negotiate a new contract with the union, since their agreements ended last June.
Members said this is a historical decision and are ready for whatever comes next.
"It's so important because we want to reassure that we are together, we are united and that we want the standard of living for everyone to be equal and justified with good wages for everyone else," said union member and Mirage employee Margarita Correa.
A total of 650 members voted Thursday.
They will now notify the unsettled properties including Stratosphere, TI and Tropicana on the Strip and 4 Queens, Golden Nugget and the D downtown.
Then after 14 days the union can decide to picket, boycott and even strike.
Recently, MGM Resorts and Caesars Entertainment properties settled new contracts. 97-percent of those union members voted to support their fellow workers.
Sylvia Buenrostro, an employee of Stratosphere, said, "We're just getting ready and preparing. We're still open for negotiations and the properties are not settled. If they don't want to settle, now we just gotta get ready. Nobody wants to be on strike but if that would be the case, then we just have to get ready for it."
The union will be voting whether to authorize a potential strike on March 13.

Group-transfer polymerization of methyl methacrylate with basic catalysts.
In: NATO ASI Series, Series C: Mathematical and Physical Sciences, Jg. 215 (1987) ; Recent Adv. Mech. Synth. Aspects Polym., S. 41-47
Zeitschriftenaufsatz / Fach: Chemie
Only trace amts. of Bu4NCN were necessary to catalyze rapid group-transfer polymn. of Me methacrylate (I) in THF in the presence of (1-methoxy-2-methyl-1-propenyloxy)trimethlysilane (II). Under group-transfer polymn. conditions, its initiation of anionic polymn. of I could be ignored as well as its oligomerization of II. Group transfer polymn. of I in the presence of Bu4NCN and II was compared to polymn. using difluorides such as tris(piperidino)sulfonium bifluoride or tris(dimethylamino)sulfonium difluorotrimethylsilicate. The effects of the catalysts on the rate of polymn. and the conversion were discussed, and problems encountered using the difluorides were discussed with respect to the advantages of the Bu4NCN system.

$20 to see 'Shrek' on IMAX? That's a lot of green
NEW YORK - NEW YORK (AP) - A few theaters seemed to flirt with the idea of raising the adult ticket price to $20 to the IMAX 3-D family movie "Shrek Forever After," opening this weekend.
Four AMC theaters in Manhattan bumped the box office price to $20, but three quickly dropped the price on Friday. Two were charging $17 and two were selling tickets for $19.
AMC Theatres spokesman Justin Scott attributed the price hike to an error.
"Unfortunately, a limited number of theaters posted incorrect pricing for "Shrek Forever After," which we immediately corrected," he said. "Any guest who purchased a ticket at the incorrect price can visit Guest Services for a refund."
The Wall Street Journal reported Friday that the four theaters had listed the $20 price for the IMAX showing of "Shrek" on Wednesday.
Moviegoers would do well to consider taking in the new flick in neighboring New Jersey, where an AMC theater in the city of Elizabeth was selling tickets for $16.50.
BTIG LLC media analyst Richard Greenfield reported on his blog Thursday that a Fandango.com screenshot from the AMC Kips Bay movie theater in Manhattan showed a $20 price. On Friday, the same theater had dropped it to $17.
"Shrek Forever After" is the series' fourth installment, and the first in 3-D.

Location: Sunflower Research
2011 Annual Report
This project is focused on the identification, interactions, and fine mapping of white mold resistance-QTL in common bean, specifically performing gene expression profiling of the resistance and susceptible responses in common bean to Sclerotinia infection. We evaluated stem tissue that was infected using the straw test method. ARS collaborators at Prosser, WA conducted all of the plant pathology work. Specifically, several RIL lines carrying either the tolerant or susceptible WM8.3 QTL (chromosome 8 QTL) were evaluated by infecting with the pathogen and collecting stem samples at 24 and 48 hr post-infection. As controls, non-infected, wounded (leaf cut and detached per the methodology), and mock-inoculation (agar plug placed on wound) stem samples were collected. The experiment was performed twice. Total RNA was isolated by ARS collaborators in Prosser. We sent total RNA samples to the National Center for Genomic Research (NCGR) in Santa Fe, NM. NCGR created seven sequencing libraries by pooling RNA within each of the seven treatments. (Mock inoculation RNA samples were pooled for the 24 and 48 hr time points). Each library was sequenced using the IlluminaGAIIx sequencing-by-synthesis technique. Reads of 36-nt were collected. A total of 130,414,421 reads generated a total of 4.8 Gbases of data. All of the reads were contiged using the Velvet software package using kmer values of 23, 25, 27, 29, and 31. This generated a total of 110,278 assembled non-redundant transcripts that represented our reference genome for our additional analyses were performed. The reads within each treatment were then aligned to this reference transcript set.After further analyses, we discovered that 294 genes were significantly up regulated in the 24 hr susceptible response, and 237 were up regulated in the resistant response. Similarly, at 48 hr, 199 genes were up regulated in the susceptible genotypes and 264 in the resistant genotypes. All of these genes have been annotated using the nomenclature inherited from the annotated soybean genome. GO annotation clustering will be performed next, and we are currently beginning RT-PCR analyses to confirm putative responses.

text: Joseph Mangum of Bute/Warren County, N. C. was likely son of Samuel Mangum of the Va. to N. C. migration. He was about 1747-52 and was quite active in the political life of the county. He owned only 319 acres of land, large by today's standards but small by frontier standards. The family eventually disappeared from Warren County in 1822. One probable son of Joseph's, James Mangum, appears in Iredell County, N. C. in the early years of the century. He spelled his surname 'Mangrum'. The family moved on to Williamson Co., Tennessee and many of the Tennessee Mangrums descend from this family.

I have seen a few articles about utilizing Twitter chats for marketers, but I have yet to see one that mentions blogger specific chats. I have included some that are not JUST for bloggers, but have great information for those who are blogging. Social media chats are relevant and full of ideas, and lately I have been drawn to personal finance chats. The financial chats have been a wealth of knowledge for my personal finances and have given me some blog post ideas!
*All times are Eastern.
Twitter Chats for Bloggers
9PM: #BlogChat (A very popular blog chat!)
9PM: #BlogTrends (A blog chat)

10AM: #SITSShareFest (Another favorite! Link up your favorite posts of the week.)
12PM: #blogbrunch (*The first Saturday of the month*)
Note: @TheChatDiary is a great resource to use to find other Twitter chats. I use Twubs.com to participate in Twitter chats, but you can utilize Hootsuite (follow the stream of the hashtag), use Twitter search, or another Twitter chat service. I just like that Twubs let me see all the contributors and saves my Twitter chats so I don't forget any.

I've been thinking of a way to get something similar to a below-the-knee cagoule with plenty of ventilation and good protection for a pack and when you sit down (so that you can cover your legs) and yet not be as billowy as a poncho. However I look at it I always come back to clothing from the Middle Ages and Renaissance. They really knew how to make protective clothing.I was thinking to use something like an ID Silcoat Cape and instead of rainpants, use a waterproof apron or "tabard" underneath. I'd slit the front of the cape, put in a zipper, and allow it to be pulled back when not raining hard to open up the front of the cape.Some ideas come from capes, tabards, mandelions, cowls, and hoods:(The top of the sleeve of the tunic under the hood has an "archer's notch sewn in so that when you raise your arm the tunic falls away and doesn't restrict your motion.)I was thinking to also use Bill Fornshell's idea of the insulated tunic/quilt and also the Fin Finbar Hood, but a better version of the hood, using a Montane Extreme Smock Hood fitted with a shoulder skirt that I could use when sleeping in the quilt.Here are some more ideas for Medieval and Renaissance clothing. It may be funny in many ways to look at this stuff, and a lot of it wouldn't be practical in wind or climbing steep trails, but if you stop and think about what people back then needed to stay warm and dry in the non-mechanized world they lived in, their clothing can give us a lot of hints for our own way to design for the outdoors.What do you think?
Edited by butuki on 04/09/2010 10:33:19 MDT.
I think this is a great idea! And it would make for some quite interesting conversations with passer-bys. Back in high school, my class put on a Rennisance Fair where we all dressed in the attire of that time and believe it or not, it was all quite comfy.
Maybe a matchcoat from your tarp?http://www.wildeweavery.com/home.htm (click on match coat).I have a short cape, much like a bicycle cape, I made thatworks great when you are hiking uphill in the rain. I have seen similar things used by horse packers and madeusing a small square of plastic sheet with a slit for thehead in it.
Hi,I have tried a few of these ideas. Biggest problem with any of them is being willing to wear them hiking and put up with the trail "fashion police".I was using my Tunic/ Quilt at night a few days ago as an "under quilt" for my hammock. Worked great. The temperature overnight was about 45 degrees (F).I am about to make another one but using Cuben Fiber and cut the weight by a couple of ounces. That is going from a little over 7 ounces to below 5 ounces.
The turntop boots in Miguel's first illustration have me thinking. Is it a fashion thing, or is there a practical element?

Twins Daily: Danny Valencia's bat not enough to overcome slow start
Get the 1500 ESPN SportsWire delivered to your inbox daily, and keep up with all the news in Twin Cities Sports
Danny Valencia drove in three runs to spark the Minnesota Twins' anemic offense, but that wasn't enough to overcome Nick Blackburn's early struggles in a 5-4 loss to the Orioles on Wednesday night in Baltimore.
The skinny
Down 5-1 early, the Twins rallied behind Valencia, who chopped a two-run single over the mound in the sixth inning and swatted an RBI single to left field in the eighth -- both with two outs.
But Luke Hughes was retired to end each frame, and Denard Span's two-out drive in the ninth died in center fielder Adam Jones' glove on the warning track to preserve the save for Kevin Gregg and the win for left-hander Zach Britton, who allowed three runs on five hits over six innings.
The Twins (6-12) finished with seven hits, including Michael Cuddyer's leadoff homer in the second inning, but failed to exceed five runs for the 27th consecutive game (including playoffs) dating to last Sept. 28.
Still without their usual Nos. 2 through 5 hitters -- Tsuyoshi Nishioka (fractured fibula), Joe Mauer (viral infection/bilateral leg weakness), Justin Morneau (flu) and Delmon Young (ribs/flu) -- the Twins are at the bottom of the majors in runs (54), home runs (six), slugging percentage (.314) and on-base percentage (.284).
Turning point
One bad inning was enough to turn the tide against Blackburn, who entered the bottom of the second with a 1-0 lead after Cuddyer's homer in the top half.
Blackburn promptly gave up three consecutive hits -- singles to Vladimir Guerrero and Luke Scott and a two-run double to Jones. Then, with one out, Matt Wieters launched a 2-1 changeup into the center field seats to give the Orioles a 4-1 lead.
After Guerrero blasted a two-out homer to left field in the third, Blackburn settled down -- completing seven innings, finishing with four strikeouts and retiring the last eight batters he faced before leaving with back tightness. But the damage was done, and Baltimore never relinquished the lead.
Numbers game
0, 0: Home runs and RBIs for Michael Cuddyer before his second-inning home run.
83: Temperature, in degrees Fahrenheit, for the first pitch in Baltimore on a day the Twin Cities were hit with a snowstorm.
Health watch
• Morneau took batting practice but did not start for a fourth consecutive day. There was some discussion about using him in a pinch-hitting situation, but Steve Holm (popup) and Matt Tolbert (strikeout) both batted in the ninth, confirming that wasn't an option.
• Young did not start for a second consecutive day and was not available.
On deck
If there's one team Scott Baker (0-2, 4.50 earned-run average) should be confident against, it's the Orioles -- the only opponent he's faced more than once without taking a loss. In seven career starts against Baltimore, Baker is 5-0 with a 2.53 ERA, 29 strikeouts and seven walks in 42 2/3 innings. He'll start Thursday's series finale (6:05 p.m., 1500 ESPN) against fellow right-hander Jeremy Guthrie (1-2, 3.32), who allowed one run in his first 14 innings this season before a messy start on Saturday against Cleveland (six runs, 10 hits in five innings). A first-round pick in 2002 who turned 32 this month, Guthrie has faced the Twins six times in parts of eight big-league seasons, going 3-0 with a 3.03 ERA.
Coming up
• Friday: vs. Cleveland, 7:10 p.m. LHP Brian Duensing (1-0, 3.60) vs. RHP Fausto Carmona (1-2, 4.74).
• Saturday: vs. Cleveland, 12:10 p.m. LHP Francisco Liriano (1-3, 7.40) vs. RHP Carlos Carrasco (1-1, 4.85).
• Sunday: vs. Cleveland, 12:10 p.m. RHP Carl Pavano (1-2, 5.47) vs. RHP Jeanmar Gomez (0-1, 10.38).

Comments about Pentax Optio W20 Waterproof Digital Camera - 2.5'' LCD:
I absolutley love it! I am outdoors as much as possible. When I'm fishing I don't worry about dropping it in the water, getting it muddy because I can just rinse it off. small enough to carry in your pocket. Very detailed pictures, clear. The only thing I have a hard time with is at night, you can't see the screen but when you take a picture the flash goes and when the picture pops up, it's really good! I think this is the perfect camera for someone who loves the outdoors and snapping alot of pictures of their family. A scrapbookers delight! ^_^

Tobacco Chic
Romanticized images of smokers supersede anti-smoking campaigns
Implications - Even though the health risks of smoking are more than crystal-clear, smoking is still an inspiration for an array of industries. Despite the rise in anti-smoking campaigns, fashion editorials, advertisements and photography still produce images that associate smoking with an ineffable "cool" factor.

11 Examples + Score + Implications
Apocalyptic Attitude
Consumers go above and beyond in preparation for doomsday
Implications - More consumers are bearing a survival state-of-mind, taking the alleged upcoming apocalypse of 2012 to heart with extreme preventative measures and apocalyptic "gear," from retail-friendly weapons to gas masks and survival shelters. This fear of impending doom among consumers presents a new and bizarre niche for anti-doomsday products, services and even brand messaging.

Unconventional Capsules
The function of pills shifts from health to non-traditional uses
Implications - Pills deliver simplicity and convenience, making them ideal for the busier, more stressful lives consumers are leading today. Increasingly, pills are ingested for both conventional health requirements as well as in novel situations not traditionally treated with pills, such as limiting alcohol consumption.

Self-driving vehicles provide drivers with extreme convenience
Implications - Autonomous automobiles are quickly becoming a reality, with variations on the self-driving car being conceptualized by designers at an alarming rate. As consumers continue to place more emphasis on convenience in their purchasing decisions, the rapid development of driver-less vehicles may just coincide with a just-as-rapid demand.

Feather Tech
Extremely lightweight gadgets for easy travel-ability
Implications - Gone are the days when the only technology a person might carry while on the go was a Polaroid camera. Today's more tech-savvy consumer typically has a smartphone as well as a laptop or tablet, perhaps even a separate camera. This means that tech gadgets today must be designed for better portability -- they must be more sleek and extremely lightweight. As such, more and more "featherweight" computers, tablets and other devices are making their way into the marketplace, made for the tech-burdened consumer who can't part with any of his gadgets.

I am once again trying the Paleo lifestyle. I have tried it before but always went back to my old way of eating. I was looking for help not arguments. I am a 64 year old woman with Celiac disease. I have been eating gluten free for almost 20 years, but in the last year, my health is getting worse. I get very bad migraine headaches, sometimes as many as 15 + a month. I also have sever pain in my neck, shoulder and head that has been diagnosed as arthritis. I have read so many articles and books about Paleo and how it has improved the health and quality of life for many people. I tired of feeling sick and hope to finally enjoy my Paleo life. Any hints or suggestions would be appreciated.
Ps. I really do not like a lot of salad

Thank you for stopping and checking my profile. Know that I respect you as a female for using this new age vehicle. Mostly, I'm overwhelmed because I don't type (have a friend cranking this out) and because I don't use the computer much. That being said, if there is a mutual connection, I definitely can use the phone, and have recently learned how to use Skype with or without the video. I'm just am not able to chit chat via the computer so if that's your way of breaking the ice, I'm going to have to pass.
I've had zero luck because most folks are into typing but know that my style is a bit different but very respectful and an optimist. I'm pretty accountable to people but a bit overwhelmed by technology.
I'm busy being a teacher, work with non-profit, am an author, love to travel, am a vegetarian and a liberal to boot – but know that opposites attract! Ha!
Honestly in search of a soul mate, looking to connect, build a friendship/relation via conversation and see where it goes from there.

Here are some of my favorite spots...
And here is what has been on my heart lately. Being a Titus 2 woman. And all that encompasses. Hand in hand with that I have been wondering if those that have fought so hard for feminism have realized that for as much as it has done good for women, hasn't it hurt just as many? I feel like the race to be "equal" to men has made hard for those of us who are ok with being submissive. The push for women to be equal in the workplace makes it harder for women to stay home in the first place. The strive to "be independent" makes being taken care of by our husbands unattractive. Does anyone understand any of that? I would love to hear some feedback on this. Am I the only one who feels this way?
EDITED TO ADD: I am not anti-feminism in that I agree with Sara in that the feminist movement has done a lot to improve the way women are treated. I just want the right to stay home or to be anti-feminist to be fought for just as hard as the right to be paid the same as a man. I know that in my college experience, I was endlessly railed for knowing then that I wanted to be a SAHM mom. I was told that I would be wasting my degree, why was I even in college in the first place if I wasn't going to use my degree, why would I want to let a man take care of me, etc. You get the picture. That is my experience with feminism. :) Sorry if I offended anyone. That was not my intention. :)
And. I have a dilemma for you. We live on a loop. The street is pretty busy, cars speed through on a regular basis. There are ALWAYS young (2 and up)children playing IN THE STREET. Their parents are never watching them. The kids often refuse to move out of the way when people come through--like the cars have some nerve being in the street. I am terrified that a child is going to be hit by a car but I am certain that these are not the kind of neighbors that I can walk up to and discuss this with...I am sure I would get a "mind your own" business kind of response from them not to mention dirty looks. What would you do to help ensure that these unsupervised kids don't get hurt?

Lots of folks are wondering what happened to the Main Street-mom-and-pop retail investors. They seem to have taken their ball and gone home. I don't blame them for feeling put upon, but it might be instructive to figure out why. Perhaps it could even help us determine what this means for risk capital.
We see evidence of this all over the place: The incredibly light volume of stock trading; the abysmal television ratings of CNBC; the closing of investing magazines such as Smart Money, whose final print issue is on newsstands as it transitions to a digital format; the dearth of stock chatter at cocktail parties. Why, it is almost as if America has fallen out of love with equities.

? DefaultTreeTableModel - how do I get the indices of the children ?
What is the best way to take a TreeTable model and retrieve the indices of all of the children? Do I have to write some recursive method to go through the tree and test if children exist and whether nodes are collapsed?
I need to be able to go through a tree, figure out the current index of each branch/node and if branch is collapsed, then the nodes of this branch will share the same index.
BTW, I need to know if a branch is collapsed but I don't know if DefaultTreeTableModel gives me this info or if I have to get this info from TreeTable itself...anyone?
Message was edited by: zaczek
actually, to me that doesn't appear a problem of the JXTreeTable but of your (mis-) understanding of how a treeModel and a JTree work. Just try the same thingy with a core JTree and the treeTableModel you'r using (after all, it's a TreeModel), make it work (with the help of some basic, core forum answers). If you have that working, try to do the same with a JXTreeTable. Then, if there are problems in the latter setup which haven't be there in the former - that's the point where this forum can help.
One other question...if their index is -1 (of the collapsed nodes), how can you access those nodes in the tree? Is there any way to get their reference? Is there anyway for me to traverse the tree?
Message was edited by: zaczek
What is the purpose of this tree traversal and node querying? Perhaps, if I am able to understand your intent I can offer better advice. What exactly do you want to do with the dumped values?
I have a JSplitPane with a JXTreeTable on the left that contains a list of Timeline objects. On the right side is a JPanel where I draw the timelines (events drawn, etc).
The events (corresponding to a timeline) drawn on the right have to line up with the timelines on the left...when I collapse a branch on the left that contains multiple timelines, then the right side should do the same...ie hide the timelines.
SO, I need to know which of my timelines on the left are collapsed or at least what their current index is. I can't edit the "Timeline" to track an index inside it, so I figured the best way is to use the tree on the left to tell me the indices of timelines that are collapsed, etc.
What really sucks is that with the TreeTableModel I can figure out the ids of the nodes, which I could then use along with the JTreeTable to determine which of them is not collapsed....but the minute you collapse them then all of the indices get screwed up and I have no way of tying the two together: model and treetable . If there was some way that the treetable preserved the original/expanded ids of the nodes then I would be able to simply traverse the model and use the current index to figure out if the node is collapsed or not. But you can't do this because the minute you collapse a damn node and the subnodes disappear, the other nodes have their indices adjusted.
I cannot believe this is so difficult to do.

Message was edited by: zaczek
You probably want to have all the data in both sides and use a TreeExpansionListener on the tree table to listen for the expanding/collapsing of a node and then display or hide that appropriately.
The problem is that I don't want to have the TreeTable be sent to the Panel on the right side because I won't always have a TreeTable. The right side will get the set of Timeline data and it will know the structure but the collapsed/expanded information was to be provided by the tree or some external source that could mimic a tree.
This is so damn frustrating...I can't believe that the TreeTable has a isCollapsed() method that takes a TreePath, and the TreeTableModel has a getPathToRoot() method but it does NOT return a TreePath. Instead it returns a TreeTableNode and that is not compatible...damn it to heck!
Wait, I may have had a minor breakthrough...since the model has a getPathToRoot() method that returns a TreeTableNode[], I decided to use it to create a TreePath and then pass this TreePath to the isCollapsed of my JTreeTable and it might be working.
Here is sample code of the recursive method:
public currentRowIndex;
public void test() {
currentRowIndex = 0;
Traverse(myModel, myModel.getRoot());
public void Traverse( DefaultTreeTableModel model, Object o) {
int count = model.getChildCount(o);
for (int i=0; i
TreeTableNode child = (TreeTableNode) model.getChild(o, i);
TreeTableNode[] path = model.getPathToRoot(child);
TreePath tpath = new TreePath(path);
if (model.isLeaf(child)) {
System.out.println("LEAF Index: " + currentRowIndex + " " + myTreeTable.isCollapsed(tpath));
} else {
System.out.println("BRCH Index: " + currentRowIndex + " " + myTreeTable.isCollapsed(tpath));
Traverse(model, child);
Message was edited by: zaczek
btw, kschaefe, thank you for the discussion and the help.
There is no way to take a TreeTableModel to perform those tasks. The visual state of a node (collapsed or not) is never known by the model (and never should be). You'll need to query the JXTreeTable directly, since it's the only thing that knows about the visual states that interest you.
So, what is the best way for me to do the following:
Say I have a table
- Root index: 0 collapsed: False
- Node 1 1 F
- Node 2 2 F
- Branch 1 3 F
- Node 3 4 F
- Node 4 5 F
- Branch 2 6 F
- Node 5 7 F
- Node 6 8 F
but now, I collapse "Branch 1" so I have the following:
- Root index: 0 collapsed: False
- Node 1 1 F
- Node 2 2 F
+ Branch 1 3,3,3 True,True,True
- Branch 2 4 F
- Node 5 5 F
- Node 6 6 F
where Node 3, Node 4 have now an index of '3' to match their parent "Branch 1",
Is this true? Do their indices change?
also I assume Node 3, Node 4 are also marked as collapsed, like their parent.
Is this also true?
How do I go about getting any of this info? How can I get a list of indices or a list of collapse booleans for each of the rows of the tree?
Corrected questions...had "Nodes 4,5", but meant to ask about "Nodes 3,4"
Message was edited by: zaczek
I'm not sure I follow what you're trying to do, but...
Nodes 3 and 4 (you said 4 and 5, but I think you meant 3 and 4) are no longer visible when their parent is collapsed. There index according to the table is -1, signifying that the path is not part of the display.
The tree may also report that the leaves are collapsed (this is the default behavior for JTree).
oops...yeah, I mean Nodes 3 and 4.
Ok, so I won't be able to get the indices of these collapsed/hidden nodes and that sucks.
But then there is no way for me to retrieve their collapse status either since the tree table isCollapsed expects a TreePath (I don't have this) or an integer of the row...but since the indices are hidden I would get -1 for that number and that won't work.
Sigh....this blows.
I'm gonna go try my hand at recursively traversing the tree and maybe I can get what I want.
thanks. and good catch on my node number discrepancy.

A member of IDEO in the documentary film Objectified let us in on a secret of design...that it's best to design for the outliers and let the ones in the middle fall into place. For all the hype of augmented reality, there have been few successes, and for good reason. We are designing for fleet foxes, instead of Mr Three-toed Sloth. Limongello will attempt to show some examples of how we already use augmented reality in life, and how limiting our range of movement, and focusing less on applications that cater to those who run around cities marking their territory can help us understand the value of augmented reality.

Correct me if I'm wrong here, but I don't think there is a "smooth" USE flag. It's not mentioned on http://www.gentoo.org/dyn/use-index.xml and I have purdy fonts without it, just "truetype".
