NK grad Skelly named Academic All-American
Stephanie Skelly is no ordinary student-athlete. She's been judged to be one of the best in the nation.
Skelly, a 2008 North Kitsap graduate and senior at Willamette University in Salem, Ore., was one of 12 players selected as a First Team Academic All-American in NCAA Division III women's soccer last week.
"It's such a big honor," Skelly said. "I didn't expect it."
Skelly found success in the classroom and on the field long before she came to Willamette.
In high school, Skelly was a four-year starter for the soccer team, finishing her career with 31 goals and 20 assists. President of the National Honor Society at North Kitsap, she graduated as co-salutatorian.
Skelly recently finished her senior season at Willamette. She finished with 16 goals and five assists to lead the Northwest Conference in scoring.
"Stephanie is one of those players you build your team around, knowing she would give anything for her team," Willamette coach Hillary Arthur said in a release. "Her ability to lead, encourage and inspire her teammates to play at their best was what most people didn't see. What people did see was an amazingly skilled and passionate player who worked hard for her team and put the ball in the back of the net."
Skelly totaled 35 career goals — including 10 game-winning goals — and seven assists. She played in 75 games, making 70 starts.
"It still hasn't hit me that I'm done," said Skelly, who attended her team's postseason banquet on Wednesday.
Skelly said she'll get another chance to play soccer in June, when she'll join a travel team for a 10-day tour in Italy.
As far as school, Skelly spent most of the week preparing for exams. She's majoring in Biology — with a minor in Chemistry — and is set to graduate in May.
Skelly, who's interested in genetics and is doing a job shadow this weekend at Seattle Children's Hospital, said she never felt overwhelmed having to balance her studies with soccer.
Instead she thrived.
"I honestly do a lot better when I'm busy," she said. "Now that the season's over, I have all this free time I don't know what to do with."

G'day everyone,
I've recently finally got around to returning to the gym and am trying to build a routine up again. More to the point I've actually got a squat rack so squats are now safe and available (they weren't before if anyone remembers...).
I've now discovered though I have quite a fair bit of difficulty trying to do regular squats. The upper half of my torso (more shoulders/collarbone area) just doesn't feel flexible enough and i feel some small pain. I didn't want to give it up however so I've started front squats (which cause me no discomfort... aside from the fact that i'm trying to move heavy things lol).
My questions are:
Could I use front squats as a substitute for regular squats?
Could anyone give me any tips for increasing flexibility to do squats. I've read Built's article on hip flexor flexibility and have been attempting to do these quite regularly however hamstring, calves and the upper body still feel a bit tight...
Much appreciated =) have a good one.

Should Mark Ingram Owners Cut Bait?
The New Orleans Saints are a mess defensively. They can't stop the run. They can't stop the pass. On the other side of the football it's petty much the status quo. Brees, Colston, and Jimmy Graham are tearing it up and Sproles and Lance Moore have had their moments. Almost as disappointing as the defense has been Mark Ingram.
Pierre Thomas and Ingram have each had 37 carries. Besides the pathetic 7.4 rushing attempts per game they are managing, you should be concerned with the fact that Ingram has gained 76 fewer yards or a full two yards per carry less. Sproles has only had 17 carries, but is only 15 yards shy of Ingram.
Not to mention that Sproles (235 yards) and Thomas (139 yards) contribute in the passing game. Ingram has just one reception for negative one yard.
What's worse is 53 yards and his lone touchdown came in Week 2 against Carolina. In the remaining four games he has totaled just 53 yards. Even Chris Johnson is laughing at that lack of production.
It likely isn't getting better any time soon.
The Saints will continue to struggle on defense, meaning that it will be up to Drew Brees and company to move the chains and put points on the board. Thomas and Sproles are significantly better suited for this kind of use.
It may be time to give Ingram his walking papers. You will likely have a roster decision based on upcoming byes. Unless something drastically changes you won't be able to count on Ingram in your lineups. Let somebody else have the dud.
If he shows signs of life you can try to snatch him back up, but he seems more likely to continue wasting space.

A federal appeals court has upheld a Georgia statute that prohibits guns in churches, rejecting the claims of a pastor and a gun rights group that the law violates both the First Amendment's guarantee of citizens' right of religious freedom, as well as the Second Amendment guarantee of the right to keep and bear arms. As for the Second Amendment, the three-judge panel of the 11th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that it "does not give an individual a right to carry a firearm on a place of worship's premises against the owner's wishes because such right did not pre-exist the Amendment's adoption. Enforcing the Carry Law against a license holder who carries a firearm on private property against the owner's instructions would therefore be constitutional."
In 2010, the Georgia legislature modified a state conceal-carry law that had prohibited gun owners from bringing their handguns to a "public gathering." As reported by Courthouse News Service (CNS), the amendment broadened the rights of gun owners to carry handguns in public locales, but specified eight locations where they would continue to be prohibited, "including courthouses, jails or prisons, most bars, mental health facilities, and churches or other places of worship."
According to CNS, a Second Amendment group called Georgia Carry "has been fighting gun regulations in various cities and counties since 2007. The nonprofit's former president Edward Stone complained that the law would block him from bringing a firearm to services at the Baptist Tabernacle of Thomaston. He said a gun could be helpful if he needs to defend himself and his family."
The Rev. Jonathan Wilkins, pastor of the church and also a member of Georgia Carry, filed suit against the state law, arguing that it violated both the First Amendment's guarantee of the right to the free exercise of religion and the Second Amendment's guarantee of the right to keep and bear arms. But in January 2011, U.S. District Judge C. Ashley Royal ruled against the suit, finding that the gun ban in places of worship does not prevent Georgia residents from attending church and exercising their religious convictions, nor does it conflict with the Second Amendment. "The law only requires that persons either not carry a weapon to a place of worship, leave their weapons secured in their vehicles, or notify security or management personnel of the presence of the weapon," Royal wrote in his ruling.

Fear Itself -- An early look
And so it is not tremendously surprising that NBC is back in the game, this time with Fear Itself, an hour-long horror anthology. The series premieres Thursday, June 5 at 10pm ET, and I'm going to tell you now to try not to judge it by the first episode. I got a chance to preview the first three episodes, and for me it got better with each installment. Maybe it's a bias against the fairly typical "monster of the week" storytelling that has weakened episodes of such otherwise good shows like Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Smallville and Supernatural.
I've always enjoyed those horror and sci-fi stories that reached a little beyond the shock factor or the hack and slash mentality. "Sacrifice," which introduces the show to the audience, falls into the latter category in a way that concerns me for the show's retention rate. Either the second episode, "Spooked" or the excellent third, "Family Man," would have been a much better way to introduce the potential of the series. Both of those latter two stories featured some twists on the genre and a much more cerebral experience. The horror was as much internal as it was external for our protagonists. Point blank: the stories were just better.
So why start with a fairly surface level "monster of the week" episode? Well, if I recall correctly Masters of Horror on Showtime did something similar with the deer-woman-monster-weirdness of their pilot installment. The only thing that correlates between the two is the promise of sex in the episode and the hotness factor of the female leads. I'd like to think that television executives aren't so shallow as to think that we need to see Mircea Monroe's voluptuous cleavage in order to want to keep watching the series, but this is television and America we're talking about. Ass and boobs are what it's all about, right? Throw in some guts, gore and at least one ugly vampire and we're all happy.
The second episode features Eric Roberts and Lost's Cynthia Watros in a unique angle on a haunted house story. It was nice seeing Watros back at it on the small screen, as I thought both she and Hurley's character got the big shaft when they booted her off the island via a quick murder (I don't care what they say it was because of her troubles with the local law). This one read and felt more like a typical horror short story. The effects of the hauntings were very well done and they did an excellent job of establishing the proper mood and tone throughout. Roberts grew into his character by the end.
But as much as I thought "Spooked" was an improvement over "Sacrifice," I was blown away by just how damned good "Family Man" was. It was a treat seeing Eureka's Colin Ferguson really put through the emotional wringer in this one. As it was written by Daniel Knauf, who created one of the most under-appreciated shows in the history of television, Carnivale (I still want to know how it ends, dammit!), I had a lot of high-hopes that it would be filled with his trademark mysteries, twists and turns and he really delivered. I don't even want to say too much about it except to tell you that even in the rough cut that I received, this was far and away one of the strongest installments of any of the recent anthology series; a wonderful idea wonderfully executed.
Anthology series are a tough sell during a typical summer season, but if NBC is willing to truly think about a summer slate of non-reality original programming, I could see Fear Itself as an excellent addition to that family. They can catch all the television actors during hiatuses to film various installments, thus giving fans of those shows an opportunity to see their favorite TV stars during the summer, and it can help those stars, like the aforementioned Hurley (Jorge Garcia) try to avoid becoming hopelessly typecast as their beloved recurring characters; Ferguson certainly stepped well out of his role as Sheriff Carter.
I'd like to think this has a real chance of making it the whole run, but summer audiences can be so fickle and still seem resistant to original scripted programming. Maybe post-strike America is a different viewing beast. Maybe going so long without scripted programming during the regular season has made us more anxious to consider trying something new. And with anthology series you don't have to worry about the plug being pulled before you get any resolution on any storylines, unless your cat is playing behind the entertainment center and accidentally pulls the plug. What the hell are you doing back there, anyway?

Installation Transforms for OpenOffice
Included below are several Windows Installer transform (.mst) files that can be used to modify the installation of the OpenOffice office suite. These transforms can be applied only when installing OpenOffice, and after they are applied, can only be changed by reinstalling.
To use these transform files, first unpack the OpenOffice installation files, as described in Steps B(i)-(iii) of these instructions, then copy the transform file to the same directory as the OpenOffice msi file, openofficeorg2x.msi or openofficeorg3x.msi.
Next, to apply one or more transforms when installing OpenOffice locally, from the command line, enter the command:
msiexec /i openofficeorg3x.msi TRANSFORMS=file1.mst;file2.mst
Alternately, to apply one or more transforms when installing OpenOffice using Group Policy, follow Steps 12-19 of these instructions.
These transforms files may not be copied or redistributed, and are subject to Terms of Use.
Checks to see if the OpenOffice-Enterprise client software is installed, and if so, updates the OpenOffice-Enterprise installation to work with the newly installed or upgraded version of the OpenOffice suite. This transform is compatible with all OpenOffice v3.x.x and v2.x.x releases. Note: Under Windows Vista and Windows 7, this transform will only work when deployed via Group Policy. An alternate solution when installing from the command line is to install, reinstall or do a repair installation of the OpenOffice-Enterprise client software (ooewin-xxx.msi) after installing OpenOffice.

DCAU appreciation

Re: DCAU appreciation
Turtletrekker, thanks. I do now recall seeing something about that storyline. I just meant that I wish that they would do it in animation as a DVD film and bring back Loren Lester, Kevin Conroy, et. al. in their roles.
To Christopher and Showdown, I just was repeating a rumor I had seen on one site about the DCAU,( I know, I know, never trust anything, especially on the Net.) and I regret that. I was just saying that I wished we had gotten a better wrapup for Nightwing, though I agree with Gotham Central that the reason they had the bat embargo on using Batman's supporting characters (other than Bats himself) was because of the new cartoon The Batman. The rational for JLU to not be able to use the other Batman characters was because it would confuse younger viewers with two shows having the same characters. I think young viewers are savvy enough to know the difference though.

Numerical Investigation of Non-Homologous Collapse of the One-Dimensional Gravitational Gas
Kim Gargar, Jose Perico Esguerra
In this paper, the one-dimensional gravitational gas is evolved numerically using an eventdriven code. Two initial conditions are considered: (1) an initially uniform isolated system with no velocity dispersion and where the initial velocities are sine functions of the position, and (2) two "clusters" with initially constant phase-space densities in elliptical regions of phase space.

POSTED: 1:30 a.m. HST, Feb 14, 2011
LAST UPDATED: 1:51 a.m. HST, Feb 16, 2011
ATLANTA » A few weeks ago a dinner guest's face contorted into something between amazement and disgust as he looked at my coffee table and noted: "My gosh — you have six remotes."
He was only partially correct. The coffee table in my den does have several remotes on it: There is one for the HDTV, another for the sound system, still another for the DVD player, one for the cable converter box. And there are a few more, worthless testaments to my inability to throw anything away. They are remotes for gadgets I no longer own.
Like a coward, I didn't tell him that the cabinet near the TV held another two or three remote controls.
Unfortunately, at least four of my remotes are actually used every day to control the array of gadgets in the den. That's why, until recently, the simple act of watching television often required more than the two hands that (I hope) are permanently attached to my arms.
That awkwardness, along with my dinner guest's remarks, set me off on an online shopping quest to find a single remote that could control everything.
Now, all this might seem like small potatoes in a world crammed with more exotic gadgets. I realize that today's column could offer helpful instructions on building a nuclear submarine in the basement, or constructing a PC using materials found at the hardware store.
So I began my search for the perfect remote: something that could control every function of every gadget yet easy enough to program so that even I could do it. I wanted all that at a price that would not trigger my wife's recurring fear that we'll end up living in a cardboard box under a bridge in the next year or two.
My first shock was price. I found remotes that seemed to fit all my criteria — at least based on the online descriptions — but many of them were priced near $500. For that kind of money, I was prepared to continue juggling multiple remotes.
The next shock was trying to understand (again based on online descriptions and reviews) how simple these things were to use. I remember one online reviewer's comment about a particularly pricey remote. He said something like, "Within a few weeks I got the software for programming it working on my PC and was able to start programming the remote."
I wasn't looking for a new hobby as a programmer of remotes. I just wanted to be able to tame my gadgets.
Finally, as often happens, I turned to Cnet.com, one of my favorite websites for high-tech reviews. Once I reached this page — tinyurl.com/4lszz7x — I felt like an explorer who had finally found the city of gold.
Based on what I read there, remotes from Logitech seemed like the answer. And while some of the Logitech models were priced near the $500 mark, I did find one that was affordable enough to forestall my wife's box-under-the-bridge nightmare.
I ended up buying and using the Logitech Harmony 700 for just a bit over $100. This remote is not perfect. The rechargeable batteries it uses run down too quickly. And there are times when my farsighted wife hands the thing to me because she has trouble viewing the device's relatively small screen without her reading glasses.
You'll find more details on the remote, along with other pluses and minuses, on the Cnet site at this Web page: tinyurl.com/4q23de2.
I'm convinced that there's no perfect remote when balancing ease of use, features and price. But my Logitech does work. It works so well that one of these days I'm going to remove those other five or six remotes from my coffee table. But not today.

Development of national practices for early childhood safety education
Road-related incidents remains one of the leading causes of injury during the early childhood years, leading to a significant number of hospitalisations and deaths each year within Australia. Whilst an array of early childhood road safety programs currently exist nationwide, substantial evaluation of the success of these programs is limited. Through the development of a series of national practices pertaining to early childhood road safety education it will ensure the educational material delivered is consistent with what is considered best practice in regards to current road safety practice and promoting early childhood learning.
This study is a collaborative research project between the Child Health Promotion Research Centre, VicRoads and highly experienced researchers and practitioners in the area of road safety, school health promotion and child and adolescent injury control. VicRoads is project managing the development of national practices for early childhood road safety education on behalf of the Road Safety Education Reference Group Australasia (RSERGA). The RSERGA is a nationally representative group of road safety education managers from road safety and education agencies from each state, territory and New Zealand. In 2009, National Road Safety Education Forum (now known as RSERGA), approved national principles for school road safety education. This work was led by School Drug Education and Road Aware (SDERA) in Western Australia on behalf of the RSERGA. The Child Health Promotion Research Centre at Edith Cowan University was contracted to undertake the project. The principles developed provide a framework of core concepts and values to guide the planning, implementation and review of road safety education programs, policies and practice in school communities. The Australian Government, in partnership with all states and territory governments, has made important changes to early childhood education and care in Australia. The Early Years Learning framework (EYLF) is part of the Council of Australian Government's (COAG) reform agenda for early childhood education and learning and is a key component of the Australian Government's National Quality Framework for early childhood education and care. The EYLF describes the principles, practice and outcomes essential to support and enhance young children's learning from birth to five years of age, as well as their transition to school.
The objective of this project is to develop national agreed practices for early childhood road safety education. The development of national practices for early childhood road safety education will provide clear guidelines for the delivery of road safety education in Australia to ultimately reduce road-related injuries among young children.

Detailed Description:
Satiety refers to feelings of fullness or lack of desire to eat following consumption of a food or meal. A number of dietary factors have been shown to influence satiety, including food volume, food weight, energy density, food palatability, and certain food ingredients. The nutritional composition of a meal appears to also play a significant role in an individual's feelings of satiety and ability to stay full until the next meal.

Beyonce Gets Blue Ivy a Vintage White Cradle
Girly girls run the world!
Clad in a neon-pink sweater and a colorful skirt, Beyonce Knowles stepped out in NYC on Thursday, accompanied by her mom, Tina, but sans Blue Ivy Carter, her 12-week-old daughter with husband Jay-Z.
The already-famous R&B scion was definitely on the "Love on Top" singer's agenda. Beyonce and Tina were both trailed by deliverymen toting baby furniture: an all-white, frilly, vintage-style iron crib, with a matching hanging frame.
PHOTOS: Beyonce's amazing pregnancy
The workers brought the old-fashioned crib into the superstar's Manhattan offices.

In the NYC area, Beyonce and Jay-Z (real name: Shawn Carter) have both a massive loft in Tribeca as well as a mansion in Scardale, New York.
PHOTOS: Bey and other stars in concert
Although Beyonce is taking a break from work during Blue's first days, she's slated for multiple ventures in 2012: Two new musical projects as well as an appearance in the film One Hit Wonders starring her pal Gwyneth Paltrow plus Cameron Diaz and mom-to-be Reese Witherspoon.

Six Questions I Want 'Lost' to Answer Before It Ends
As last night's episode of 'Lost' showed, this season really is giving us a lot of answers. And even if the show isn't giving us all the answers we want/need, at least we can now feel a forward momentum driving us towards the end. There are only five episodes of the show left, can you believe it?
The show can't possibly answer all of the questions, small and big, that have come up since the show started in 2004. I think they'll answer enough of them for most fans, but you and I both know that 37 seconds after the season finale ends, some people are going to go online and complain. That was a lame ending! They didn't even answer the question I wanted them to answer! I wasted six years for this?!
I won't be one of those people. They've answered the question of the numbers enough for me, and several other mysteries don't bother me. Unless the show ends in a WTF 'Sopranos' fade-out, I'll just go with what the writers give us. Of course, that doesn't mean I don't want some questions answered:
Here is yet another Lost rumor/spoiler
We've heard about the possible deaths coming up on Lost at the end of the season. A couple of characters (called major or major-ish by various media outlets) will be gone at the end of the season, and the deaths of at least one of them and maybe both are going to cause some fans to be bummed out for the entire summer until next season. So how about some different news?
Is Evangeline Lilly leaving Lost?
Zap2It is reporting that Evangeline Lilly, who plays Kate on ABC's Lost, is currently auditioning for roles on new TV shows. And these aren't shows that are going to premiere after Lost ends its run after next season, these are pilots for new shows starting this fall. Hmmm...
This wouldn't be the first time that Lost has gotten rid of a major character on the. They killed off Charlie and Eko and Anna and got rid of Michael and Walt, so it's not like the show is against throwing fans for a loop and having anything possible. But Kate is a major major character, one that holds a lot of the plots together emotionally (her relationships with Jack and Sawyer, taking care of Aaron for Claire) so it would be a big deal if she were to leave. Several Lost sites have been reporting that a "majorish" character will be killed off before this season ends.
(Lilly's rep says the report isn't true.)
Lost: The Little Prince
(S05E04) "I have to make them come back... even if it kills me." - Locke
And so begins the quest of Jeremy Bentham. That's been one of the real treats this season - seeing the Oceanic Six in the present while having their plot juxtaposed against the real-time (well... as "real-time" as real-time can get when you're time traveling) plight of those still on the island three years ago. The fact that we only saw Locke lay the foundation for his plan involving the Orchid to get everyone back was still mesmerizing. I love knowing what happens to him but not knowing the circumstances of his "suicide" and how he ended up in that coffin at Hoffs Drawler. Despite the lack of any more development on Locke's plan beyond what we got, this episode was still phenomenal - mainly because two people we've all been missing finally showed up again.
Lost: DVD extras and a season five sneak peek - VIDEOS
In just a little over a month (Wednesday, January 21st can't come soon enough), season five of Lost begins on ABC. After a shortened fourth season (because of the writer's strike), fans have been salivating for answers after the absolutely insane three-hour finale.
Where did the island go? How did Locke die? And why the heck do the Oceanic Six need to go back?
Well... keep holding your breath for those answers. Fortunately, the Lost season four DVD will provide some respite in the meantime. While it won't be released until next Tuesday, 12/9, many of the DVD featurette extras have been made available online and we got our hands on a couple.
So if you feel like knowing what happens behind the scenes down in Hawaii, then you're going to want to see these clips. Plus, if you feel like being spoiled a tiny bit, I've also included a sneak peek from the upcoming season five premiere, "Because You Left."
Lost: Maternity Leave
Caught up? Good. Here we go. The episode begins with Aaron crying with a rash and fever in the middle of the night, and Claire waking Locke to go get Jack. Danielle shows up saying, "You don't remember, do you?" and Kate shows up yelling for Danielle to go away. She asks Claire what happened and Claire says that Danielle said "there's something wrong with my baby." Cue Lost intro graphics.

Convicted killer of DEA's 'Kiki' Camarena freed from Mexican prison
Posted By jwilson On August 9, 2013 @ 4:26 pm In Old Infowars Posts Style,World News | Comments Disabled

L.A. Times
August 9, 2013
Notorious drug lord Rafael Caro Quintero, convicted in the 1985 kidnap and murder of an American narcotics agent, was freed from prison Friday after serving 28 years for a crime that vexed U.S.-Mexican relations for decades.
Special Agent Enrique "Kiki" Camarena was working for the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration, based in the city of Guadalajara, when Caro Quintero allegedly ordered him killed. Camarena went missing in February 1985, as he left the U.S. consulate. His body, showing evidence of torture, was eventually discovered near a ranch in western Mexico's Michoacan state, along with that of the Mexican pilot he flew with to hunt marijuana fields.
A tribunal spokeswoman said Friday that judges determined Caro Quintero was improperly convicted on federal charges when a state court should have been the proper venue. Because he had already served 28 years in prison, Caro Quintero was freed despite other existing charges.

Househould Hazardous Waste
return to all HHW Products page
"White goods" is a term used to describe common household appliances, such as refrigerators, freezers, washing machines, dryers, ovens, and other major appliances. We use these appliances almost every day to store and cook food, and to wash our clothes.
Many components of these appliances may be hazardous to human health and the environment if not properly disposed of.
Refrigerators and freezers use gases in their compressors to keep food cool. These gases are mostly chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs such as Freon). CFCs are circulated in pipes throughout the appliance, where they are compressed on the back of the refrigerator and allowed to expand on the inside of the refrigerator, causing the gases to cool.
When these gases are contained within a closed system like this they pose no danger, however when they are released into the atmosphere they cause damage to the ozone layer. Without the ozone layer, harmful UV light can penetrate to the earth's surface causing increased skin cancer rates, and genetic mutation in organisms without protective skin pigments.
Some of the electronic capacitors in older appliances may contain polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs). These are either solids or liquids and their colors can range from clear to yellow.
PCBs are not manufactured or used in appliances currently made in the United States, but PCBs already in the environment are very stable and do not break down quickly. These chemicals can bioaccumulate in fish and other organisms. PCBs are known to cause liver damage and developmental problems in children (including brain damage and birth defects). PCBs are also a suspected carcinogen.
Light switches found in chest freezers and other appliances may contain mercury. The mercury is used in the switch to complete the electrical circuit and turn the light on when the lid is opened. There are also thermocouples and flame sensors in appliances that might also contain mercury. Mercury is a heavy metal that can bioaccumulate in the environment. Long-term exposure to mercury can cause liver, kidney, and brain damage.
Storage/ Disposal:
Where to take HHW:
Bring unusable appliances to a local Municipal Solid Waste facility or transfer station in your area. Call ahead to find out about potentially removing the doors on refrigerators and freezers prior to drop off.
Towns and solid waste districts hold hazardous waste collection events every year, two per year at minimum (spring and fall) and many common household hazardous wastes can be disposed of at these events. For more information and event scheduling, contact your solid waste district. Find contact information on the solid waste district contact list page. (Note: If you live in a village, fire district, etc., please select the town your village, fire district, etc. is in from the list. If your town is not a member of a district, contact information for your town clerk is provided.)

The lack of (legal) options for whistleblowers after Wikileaks
Benedict Cumberbatch as Julian Assange in "The Fifth Estate."
"The Fifth Estate" opens in theaters today. The film is based on the real life events surrounding the website Wikileaks and the impact that document leaks had on the government, the press, and beyond. Benedict Cumberbatch plays Julian Assange in the film. It got us thinking about the real Julian Assange and high-profile cases of whistleblowing in the post-Wikileaks world. Jonathan Zittrain, professor of law at Harvard Law School and faculty co-director of the Berkman Center for Internet and Society, saw "The Fifth Estate" earlier this week and discusses the lack of (legal) options for leakers and whistleblowers.

CourtneyNYCHairBlondeColor Treated HairChemically Treated HairAmazing Detangler!I am a pro stylist and love, love, love, Barex. All the products give a non-sticky, shiny, soft texture. I spray Colour Confidante in the hair after shampooing and conditioning. It is one of the best detanglers I've ever used and protects the hair from color fade-out. I like to use this with redefine creme. It gives a great smooth, shiny, bouncy, effortless blowout. Colour Confidante is great for repairing damaged hair and brings back the vitality.

King.com Brings Bubble Witch Saga on Mobile and Incentivizes Users to Switch Platforms
Europe's largest social games company King.com today announced the launch of the mobile version of its hit game Bubble Witch Saga for all iOS devices – iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch. The game Bubble Witch Saga becomes the first Facebook game with progress to fully sync to mobile and tablet devices, keeping player's leaderboards, scores, progress and virtual goods seamless across both platforms. In Contrast to Wooga's Diamond Dash which is also available on iOS for quite some time now Bubble Witch Saga is actually exactly the same game for Facebook or iOS. To illustrate, Diamond Dash translates its 9×10 grid in Facebook into a 7×9 grind on iOS, resulting in a slightly different gameplay. In Bubble Witch Saga also not only leaderboards are synchronized but also game progress, including virtual goods possession.
According to King.com CMO Alex Dale King.com will continue to bring their titles on iOS. Bubble Witch Saga was developed in the Bucharest Studio, Dale expects the next iOS versions to be rolled out quicker than the first one. For Bubble Witch Saga a lot of code was used from the online game version. King.com's casual social games are well suited to perform well on iOS as they allow the same gaming experience due to a lack of complexity.
An interesting feature is King.com's solution to accustom users to switch platforms: users can continue their game if they switch the platform as they receive additional lives.
With over 4 million daily active users on Facebook (AppStats), Bubble Witch Saga is one of the top casual social games and the largest non-Zynga game on the platform. The game invites players to become the fourth witch in the circle by bursting the bubbles to spawn enough spiders to keep the cauldron bubbling. Players can rise up the leaderboards and challenge friends' high scores in hundreds of levels, with new ones added each week. And with the new, fully synchronized mobile version, players will be able to play anytime, anywhere – picking up right where they left off.
"As consumers and the industry focus more on games for mobile devices, launching a truly cross-platform Facebook game has been a top priority for King.com," King.com CEO Riccardo Zacconi, commented.
The Android version is expected to launch later this year along with additional mobile versions from the company's popular Saga series.

World's Strangest Ice Cream
The old-fashioned ice cream social can take a distinctly adult turn, thanks to this offering at the famed Heladería Coromoto ice cream shop in Mérida. The shop isn't famous for its legions of men lined up outside, though. Instead, it has laid claim to a multiyear streak in the Guinness World Records book for the most ice cream flavors: almost 900 at the most recent count (though only a paltry 70 or 80 are available on any given day). Besides Viagra, you might find the Coke and Diet Coke flavors, chile pepper, and even tuna.
How It Tastes: It may be hard to taste anything beyond the vivid aqua color, meant to evoke the little blue pill; the specific main ingredients are a secret, but are reportedly "natural" plant aphrodisiacs.

Mayor: Lost Fed Funds Will Not Impact Policing
New York, NY —
Mayor Bloomberg says he's frustrated that New York City is not getting federal money to help expand its police department. The Justice Department says it's doling out the $1 billion in aid to cities with higher crime rates and bigger budget problems. The mayor says he will not let the lost funding opportunity affect policing.
BLOOMBERG: We will keep a police force the size that we think is necessary to protect the public and no bigger. We can't afford anything bigger than that, but we should certainly not have under any circumstances a police department smaller than that.
The NYPD had requested enough funding to hire 2,000 new officers. The number of officers is expected to shrink to as low as 33,000 by next year, the lowest since before the terror attacks in 2001.

Expiration Date
The length of time for the expiration date or "best used before" date depends on the type of product, as well as the brand.
Perishable items (such as flax oils or certain probiotics) generally have shorter expiration dates. Although our warehouse is fully air-conditioned, these more fragile items are put in cold storage (freezer or refrigeration unit) for maximum freshness.
Our receiving department does its best to verify and then enter the correct expiration dates for all incoming products. However, discrepancies do occur from time to time. This being said, the exceptionally high turnover at iHerb ensures that our inventory is among the freshest in the industry.

This was much easier to make than I expected. It came together beautifully and I think tasted fine - for a buttercream. Maybe it works for a wedding cake but really I suspect buttercream frostings are one of the main reasons nobody likes wedding cakes. I'm probably not sophisticated enough to appreciate buttercream, but I think I'm going to go with a cream cheese frosting for my daughter's birthday cake because I don't think kids are, either!.flag if inappropriate
I don't usually use buttercream icing but this was great. I used it for my daughter's birthday cake. It went on very smooth and was not too sweet. I would maybe add a little more flavor than called for in the recipe.flag if inappropriate
I used this buttercream for a wedding cake and I loved it! It's better than other buttercreams I've used before because the meringue base makes it a little lighter, but it's still very nice to work with and holds up very well. I used half the vanilla and mixed 1.5 oz rum, and 1.5 oz frangelico for flavoring. I used it in a champagne white cake, with two layers of this buttercream inside, and a mocha buttercream on the outside, and covered it all with a layer of marzipan, everyone loved it! This would also be great for any basic birthday cake! I'll try different flavoring for fun next time.flag if inappropriate
Swiss meringue buttercream is the best there is, but I find there's too much butter in this recipe for my taste. I'd use only 1.75 lbs butter for this many eggs (for a 2-layer cake, I'd use 7 egg whites, 12 oz. sugar, and 1 lb. butter). The problem with making this is a tendency to rush: you must beat the egg whites slowly (I do it a little less than medium-high) and then to add the butter SLOWLY. You're making an emulsion, like mayonnaise, and if you go too fast, it will break. On the other hand, you must also have patience after adding all the butter; it can take up to 10 minutes for the emulsion to occur and the buttercream to thicken. But once it does, it's magical (and, if done properly, it will hold up fine unless the temperature gets over 80). Finally, don't be afraid to try other flavorings: my favorite is to add a few ounces of all-fruit cherry spread, or 6 oz. of white chocolate.flag if inappropriate
I am a pastry student where Toba teaches and in class we added the vanilla and rum (not one or the other). I don't even like rum but I could not keep my fingers out of the bowl, it was so delicious and perfect for decorating too because it holds up well. I think the alcolol is very important because otherwise as with many buttercreams it's like eating straight butter.flag if inappropriate
This was just what I was looking for...Easy to make, tasty and so smooth/spreadable. Using to decorate cookies at a 3 yr old birthday party. I made 1/2 recipe and divided into three different colors. I'm not a cook but leaving the butter out a couple of hours seemed to insure a smooth frosting. Also, I was surprised how quickly the temp jumped to 140*.flag if inappropriate

Dippy, unsatisfied music expert Howard Bannister comes to San Francisco with his bossy fiancé. Here he meets Judy Maxwell, a college drop-out and whirlwind of a girl, and love, theft, conspiracy and all round chaos soon ensue.
For the plot to crackle with necessary screwballing mania, the script tosses up first Madeleine Kahn's controlling fiancé Eunice as rival, then jewel thefts, matching luggage (yes, that staple) secret papers, prehistoric rocks and, of course, a grand chase sequence (de rigueur for San Fran) as well as a fabulous sequence at a banquet which the leads play under the table. Bogdanovich is busily paying reference to all his favourite flavours of humour efficiently packing them into the brief 94 minutes, hurtling from buffoonery and slapstick, to impersonations and word-play, and lets Babs have the one song to smooch up a romantic moment. It's never quite as tight or fierce as the original screwballers, but is fizzy and loveable and always worth watching.
Trying too hard and generally too trying. Seek out Howard Hawke's Bringing up Baby instead and be done with it.

Jeff Wilpon officially broke the ice in talks to potentially bring another professional sports team to Queens.
Reports have surfaced that the Mets' chief operating officer recently met with Charles Wang, owner of the New York Islanders, to discuss relocation options for the embattled hockey franchise, as reported by Newsday on Wednesday, May 12.
The meeting, confirmed by Wilpon himself, is also said to have included talks about the possible sale of Long Island's only professional sports team to the Mets' owners.
Wang, Isles-owner for over a decade, has been trying since 2003 to get local government to approve a development plan that would give the team a new arena to replace Nassau Coliseum.
The plan, dubbed The Lighthouse Project, would not only renovate the aging Coliseum, but would also include a massive overhaul of the surrounding area. Wang's proposal included a five-star hotel, housing, offices, park space, restaurants and a shopping mall.
Wang is said to have grown frustrated over the amount of time it has taken the Town of Hempstead, which oversees the land, to approve the project.
Jack Friedman, executive vice-president of the Queens Chamber of Commerce, said that bringing the Islanders to Queens is something that the Chamber has been interested in for years.
"The Lighthouse Project has gone nowhere for seven years," said Friedman. "The master plan for that project and the master plan for Willets Point are almost identical. The only difference is Willets Point is a lot further along in terms of the politics and the zoning."
Plans for Willets Point include a convention center that could potentially be used as home ice for the Islanders, whose lease at the Coliseum expires in 2015.
Most agree that bringing the Islanders to Queens would expand the fan base simply by providing mass transit options to get to and from the games. Also, Friedman believes that moving the team to Queens would give its Long Island followers the best chance to remain supportive.
"This is a logical scenario and one that Islanders fans would find least objectionable," said Friedman, referring to reports that had Wang mulling to move the team out of New York entirely. "Queens can give the Islanders a new home and the Islanders can help create the destination area that Queens needs."

VAE's Mission since 1994...
To strengthen communities and neighborhoods through the arts and to bring art, art education, exhibition and performance opportunities to people of all ages, abilities and income.
History of the Sage Street Mill and VAE
The old mill at the end of Sage Street in North Bennington has been home to several industries since the late 1800s including the EZ Waist Cuff & Collar Factory. It also manufactured buttons, mirrors, wooden toy carts and furniture. After the days of wooden furniture it became a machine shop producing stainless steel ball valves and even parts for the Patriot Missle.
Since 1993 it has been home to Vermont Arts Exchange), a non profit arts and community development organization. Co- founded by Matthew Perry and Patricia Pedreira in 1994, VAE began the transformation of the run-down old factory into a creative oasis and an energetic force that contributes to the commercial, social and cultural life of the village. VAE's mission is to strengthen neighborhoods and communities through the arts.
"The arts served as a catalyst to convert a derelict property into a working community asset. The arts are also an exceptional tool in reaching special-need populations such youth-at-risk and elders who are struggling with dementia," said Artistic Director Matthew Perry.
VAE's studio-based programs include paper making, printmaking, ceramics, sculpture, drawing, painting, writing, music and dance. A quarterly brochure promotes art classes and workshops for teens and adults as well as after-school sessions and vacation art camps for children. Free programs for teens are also offered, as well as exhibition opportunities here at the Mill Gallery and at Stark Hose Firehouse Gallery (in downtown Bennington). These 2 VAE sites also act as performance venues with the Sage Street Mill being home to the popular Basement Music Series.
Through outreach and private contract work, VAE staff and artists work in the studios with mainstream youth as well as youth-at-risk in residential homes or special school programs. VAE provides art programs offsite to reach local elders, children and their families in housing communities, private schools and Head Start children. Artist residencies in local private and public schools are supported through its ongoing Arts in Education partnerships.
In 1998 VAE responded to the need for affordable living and working space for artists by creating the Vermont Arts Housing & Preservation Partnership Project.
Most everyone agrees that art is good for the community, but community art goes beyond art exhibits or classes. It's about bringing art to those who can't afford an art lesson or even get out of their homes. Integrating and weaving the arts into our lives and neighborhoods creates a strong, vibrant, healthy community and economy.
The Vermont Arts Exchange (VAE), was founded in 1992.
Matthew Perry: Director: After graduating from Swain School of Design with a BFA in Graphic Design, Matthew established his own graphic design and illustration studio. His artwork has appeared in several regional and national publications. In 1989, Matthew created the cartoon strip "Cyrus & Ida", which appears weekly in the Vermont News Guide. His paintings and sculptures are inspired by his surroundings whether in Vermont or through his travels in Europe, Brazil and Central America where he also has exhibited in group and solo shows.
In 1992, Matthew co-founded the Vermont Arts Exchange and began teaching art to individuals in his Sage Street Mill studio. While leading art workshops with youth at risk and elders during the same period, all of the work eventually formed under its new umbrella, VAE. Matthew has also taken part in numerous school and community arts residencies throughout the Northeast and in England working with troubled teens, the elderly, local schools and the general community. As VAE Artistic Director, Matthew oversees VAE's year-round arts outreach programs, exhibitions at the Stark Hose Firehouse Gallery and the Mill Gallery and performances such as the Basement Music Series. He has facilitated several mentoring and training programs for artists and presented at many conferences on community arts and integrating arts into health care settings. His work through VAE has been recognized with awards from the Better Bennington Corporation, The Preservation Trust of Vermont and the Sunrise Family Resource Center.

Critique My New Arabian Gelding? Eventing?
3 Attachment(s)
We recently purchased a new Arabian Gelding. He is a 15.3hh, 6 year old. I was planning on eventing with him. What is his conformation like? How is his conformation for jumping, and dressage (up to training level)? I have just a few pictures now (sorry they aren't that great of pictures), but I will post better ones later on.
That is a LOVELy horse!
He looks like he could whip up on some WB's at training level right now, so I would set my sights a bit higher, maybe PSG.....
Can't help you with jumping....sorry
Thank You!
I am so glad I found him! He was a great deal for the horse he is. He is doing great in his dressage training so far... I am so excited to show him. He has the best temperament too, and he doesn't act crazy like some Arabians that I have had before. :)
Handsome boy but we need better pics :)
Have him stand square on a level surface and take clear pictures of both sides, front end and back end.
Posted via Mobile Device
Lovely boy, but the pictures aren't any good for confirmation. We need pictures of him from the front, both sides and the back to actually assess him.
Lovely boy.
Thanks guys! I will get better pictures tomorrow morning... :)

Here are a few pictures... finally! Sorry he wouldn't hold still!!! He is pretty underweight right now due to the move from his old home. Thanks guys for doing this!
still pretty hard to say much from those photos. underweight, yes, but details, need better photos. I am not sure , but his right front leg looks a tiny bit crooked from the knee down. again, post better photos for a good critique.

Scarlett Johansson, Joseph Gordon-Levitt Make Out in NYC!
Another new guy for ScarJo?
Scarlett Johansson was spotted making out with 50/50 star Joseph Gordon-Levitt in NYC last month. "They were kissing," an eyewitness tells the new Us Weekly, on stands Friday. "They were very lovey."
It wasn't the first time Johansson, 26, and Gordon-Levitt, 30, hit the town together. The duo dined at Hundred Acres in NYC's SoHo area in late July.
PHOTOS: Hollywood's biggest flirts
Although a source tells Us that Ryan Reynolds' ex and Gordon-Levitt have been "discussing a project for a while [but] have never kissed," another insider explains, "They first met about a film they wanted to do together, but it's gone beyond that now."
PHOTOS: Scarlett and Ryan in happier times
Still, Johansson's pal insists there's "nothing serious" going on between the stars.
For more on Scarlett and Jordon's steamy makeout, check out the new Us Weekly -- on stands Friday.
