Saturday March 8, 2003Baseball Can't Hold On in 9-7 Loss to FSU
Gainesville, FL
Gainesville, FL
Two late Florida State runs were the difference as the number one ranked Seminoles defeated the University of Florida baseball team 9-7 Saturday afternoon. FSU scored two runs in the eighth to break a 7-7 tie. The two teams wrap up the season series as Florida hosts Florida State on Sunday at McKethan Stadium. First pitch is scheduled for 2 p.m.
FSU pushed two across in the eighth on reliever Bryan Ball who entered the game in the middle of the seventh. The winning runs scored after a fielding error to open the eighth. A Stephen Drew double put two in scoring position and back-to-back singles from Tony McQuade and Tony Richie scored the game winners. Ball took the loss throwing one inning and giving up three hits and two runs (one earned).
Freshman Christian Madson made his first collegiate start after scheduled starter Connor Falkenbach was lifted due to a stomach virus. Madson performed admirably as he went three innings and gave up two hits and two runs while striking out three.
The Gators jumped all over FSU starter Trent Peterson in the first to take a quick two run lead. Jonathan Tucker singled and then Ben Harrison reached on a fielding error by the shortstop. On the play Tucker came all the way and Harrison advanced to second after a misplay in the outfield. C.J. Smith made the Seminoles pay for miscues as he doubled home Harrison for a 2-0 Florida lead. The Gators added to the lead with two more runs in the top of the third.
In the inning, a Seminole error again opened the door for Florida as a double by Tucker was followed by another error. With runners at the corners Smith had an RBI groundout. With Harrison on second, the junior stole third and then stole home as the catcher tossed the ball back to the pitcher.
FSU cut the deficit in half on a bases loaded two RBI single by Jerrord Brown. Madson then got out of the jam by striking out the final batter of the inning. The two teams then went into the sixth inning tied at four after Florida State scored twice more in the fifth. Matt Sauls walked to lead off the inning. Stephen Drew then singled putting runners on the corners. Following a strikeout Tony Richie doubled both runners in which tied the game up.
The Gators rallied ahead and took the largest lead of the game after two runs in the sixth and another in the seventh. In the sixth Jake Riordan doubled home Brian Rose who had earlier reached on a walk. Brett Dowdy then came to the plate with two outs and singled home Riordan. In the seventh Jeff Corsaletti drew a leadoff walk and one batter later Rose doubled him home for a 7-4 Gator advantage.
For the second time in the game Florida State rallied to tie the game up with a three run seventh. Brown had an RBI double while Chris Hart and Blake Balkcom also drove in runs.
At the plate the Gators had nine hits including four doubles. Rose was 2-for-3 while Tucker had two hits and scored twice.

Current phase of the research:
A randomized controlled trial evaluation of the Enhanced AAA Sexual Assault Resistance program on three Canadian university campuses. Funded by 2011-2016 Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR) Operating grant. Co-investigators on the project are Paula Barata and Ian Newby-Clark at the University of Guelph, and Wilfreda Thurston and Misha Eliasziw at the University of Calgary. Recruitment of over 900 women has been completed and 12, 18, and 24 month follow-ups are in progress. See published open access protocol for more detail [BMC Women's Health.2013, 13:25. DOI: 10.1186/1472-6874-13-25].
This research is the culmination of research begun in 2004. The Basic Assess, Acknowledge, Act (AAA) program was developed based on Patricia Rozee and Mary Koss' (2001) review article which suggested a new direction for rape resistance education for women. The program was carefully developed to reduce woman-blaming/self-blaming attitudes and beliefs and is successful in achieving that goal (see Senn, Gee, & Saunders, 2008). The program was piloted, evaluated, and revised in 2005-2006 (CIHR Operating Grant). An enhanced version of the AAA program adding an emancipatory sexuality education unit (adapted from the Our Whole Lives Sexuality Education program) was then experimentally evaluated against the basic version of the AAA program and a no-program control (Ontario Women's Health Council Career Award). The basic program is effective in increasing women's perception of their personal risk, decreasing woman-blaming beliefs, increasing confidence that they could defend themselves against acquaintance and stranger sexual assault, and increasing their knowledge and application of effective self-defense strategies. Consistently across studies, the completed sexual assault rate for women who took the program was reduced by more than 50% of that experienced by women who did not, although there was insufficient power for traditional significance testing. The enhanced program also decreased time to detect danger in hypothetical scenarios. Most of these effects were maintained to three and/or six months (see Senn, Gee, & Thake, 2011 for more details). The Basic AAA program also has demonstrated promise with girls 16 years or older in high school (see Senn, 2012).
A reflection piece on the complex process of developing and evaluating the program while trying to maintain my feminist goals was published in Feminism & Psychology (Senn, 2011).
In collaboration with Dr. Anne Forrest, Director of Women's Studies a number of studies are in progress evaluating the effectiveness of our campus Bystander Initiative. See www.uwindsor.ca/bystander and the Psynopsis article we wrote (Senn & Forrest, 2013) for more detail about the Bystander Initiative.
I work with graduate and undergraduate students to publish their research findings whenever possible.

LAST UPDATED: 11:12 p.m. HST, Mar 16, 2014
There is no tsunami threat to Hawaii after a 6.7 magnitude earthquake struck the coast of Northern Chile Sunday morning, according to the Pacific Tsunami Warning Center.
The earthquake shook Chile's northern Pacific shore, leading authorities to call for a precautionary evacuation in some coastal areas, but only minor damage was reported.
Chile's navy said there had been a possibility of a minor tsunami between the northern towns of Arica and Tocopilla, leading authorities to urge evacuation along a stretch of coast where the Arica and Parinacota region adjoins the Tarapaca region. The Pacific Tsunami Warning Center said there did not appear to be a threat of a destructive Pacific-wide tsunami.
The U.S. Geological Survey originally reported the quake at a 7.0 magnitude but later downgraded it. It struck about 4:16 p.m. (11:16 a.m. in Hawaii) at a depth of more than 12 miles. Its epicenter was 37 miles northwest of Iquique, Chile.
The USGS said a second tremor hit about 10 minutes later about 15 miles away registering magnitude 5.1. A third large shake registering magnitude 4.9 hit in the same area 40 minutes later.
Franz Schmauck, director of Chile's emergency services office, told state TV that no damage was registered except for broken windows on some homes.
"We had a fright but we're constantly monitoring," said Emilio Rodriguez, regional governor of Arica and Parinacota. "We could have a sudden change in waves that would make them rise up to 1 meter (3.28 feet) high."
Another quake, magnitude 6.2, struck in the same area at 6:11 p.m. Sunday.
Chile is one of the world's most earthquake-prone countries. A magnitude-8.8 quake and the tsunami it unleashed in 2010 killed more than 500 people, destroyed 220,000 homes, and washed away docks, river-fronts and seaside resorts.
The strongest earthquake ever recorded also happened in Chile, a magnitude-9.5 tremor in 1960 that killed more than 5,000 people.

How soon after a stroke would it be okay to fly?
3 answers | Last updated: Mar 23, 2015
How soon after a stroke would it be okay to fly?
James Castle, M.D. is a neurologist at NorthShore University HealthSystem (affiliated with The University of Chicago) and an expert on strokes.
70% helpful
I'm glad you asked. The question of flying after a stroke comes up frequently in my practice, and I'm not sure why.
The bottom line is that themain risks are that you would be out of contact of medical services for several hours, and that the location you are traveling to may not be equipped to deal with a stroke if one were to occur. Otherwise, there is virtually no reason why a stroke victim would not be able to fly. The oxygen change on the plane is typically not enough to cause any worsening of symptoms.
Therefore, as a general rule, I tell people to wait one week from the time of their stroke (long enough that the chances of a second stroke are very low) before flying.
As always, please check with your doctor just in case there are any special circumstances of which I am unaware.

I was honored last week to present my fourth State of the District address to stakeholders of Saint Paul Public Schools.
The members of our Board of Education joined State Education Commissioner Brenda Cassellius, along with representatives of Mayor Chris Coleman's office, faith organizations, non-profit organizations and the broader community to hear good news about what we have accomplished in the last three years – and what we are planning for the next three years.
The program had fabulous bookends: SPPS students! The Capitol Hill Singers had to get up very early to join us, but you have never heard more enthusiastic ambassadors for our district. They introduced themselves, then knocked everyone's socks off with the "St. Paul Rouser" – one of my personal favorites. It was very cold outside, but this tremendous group warmed the room up very quickly. My thanks to director Grace Raymond and principal Patrick Bryan, and to every one of the singers who performed.
I also want to thank Imogene Silver, an eighth grade student, who was "LIVE from Farnsworth Aerospace" when she introduced me via video streaming technology. Imogene also helped to close the program by introducing members of the Farnsworth Marching Band, who closed the event by playing "The Battle Hymn of the Republic." My gratitude to these early-rising young people, along with director Patricia Larkey and principal Hamilton Bell, for being on hand to provide such an exciting finale to the program.
I often talk about how proud I am to be the Superintendent of this district where I have spent more than two decades of my professional life. More often, I am humbled by the great responsibility I share with all of you: to use our resources wisely, to ensure equity for every student, and to prepare our young people for a world we can barely imagine.
At this year's State of the District event, our young people demonstrated, more powerfully that any slide presentation or speech, that our district is in a very good place. And yet I say, with humility, that while we have made excellent progress in this district, we have more to do. I feel confident that our Strong Schools, Strong Communities plan is a clear road map for moving forward in the years ahead.
An important part of each year's State of the District event is gratitude. I want to tell you now that we have come as far as we have because of you. Staff members of Saint Paul Public Schools, I thank you for all you have done and continue to do on behalf of our beautiful students and their dreams for our future.

Richard Linklater Explains His Secret Movie Boyhood

* * *
Sixteen-year-old Lilya, the title character in Lukas Moodysson's masterful if relentlessly bleak new film Lilya 4-Ever, has a life that makes Judy's seem like pure Disney. But she, too, has a Romeo, a preadolescent boy with a crush on her. They live in the same dreary housing project in a suburb of the former Soviet Union, passing time by huffing glue, listening to bad techno and skirting the law. Money is scarce and opportunities are nonexistent, so when Lilya's mother runs off to America with a well-off suitor, leaving Lilya behind, the beautiful girl—short on wits but long on spunk—is slowly drawn into a spiral of degrading choices and dire consequences.
Moodysson has already demonstrated a startling affinity for the emotional lives of children, in both the young-lesbians-in-love film Show Me Love (1998) and in last year's loving but biting send-up of '70s hippie communes, Together. Here he's even more scarily adroit at mining the interior lives of his characters, paradoxically by painting such vivid, harsh external realities. (He seems to have spent a lot of time watching Lars von Trier's films.) As Lilya reluctantly slides into the one option that's always open to women without options, Moodysson turns the screws on the viewer's heart with determined unsentimentality. We watch in dismay as she makes one bad choice after another or has "choices" forced upon her, but we're pulled into the ever-darker tale by a flicker of hope that maybe decency will rear its head, that maybe the God Lilya prays to so faithfully will finally show up. (He does, in a way, but in his own time and most definitely in his own fashion.)
Lilya's naivet� is distressingly resilient; the fact that the viewer can easily see the foolishness or dangerousness of her choices is irrelevant. The point is how or whether she'll survive the journey. And as she's played by the extremely gifted Oksana Akinshina, who gingerly spins a kaleidoscope of emotions hinged on wounded, we root for Lilya. Hard. Shot with the harsh grittiness of a documentary, which gives the film an immediacy from which you often want to recoil, Lilya 4-Ever is the combo of brutality, sex and despair—and redemption —that Gaspar No� was aiming for in his shock-schlock effort Irreversible. The difference between the two films is the relationship that their directors—and not just their characters—have to power, violence and sex that's filtered through power plays and violence. Irreversible wants to make us experience the receiving end of the fist even as its creator gleefully throws the punches, jerking off as he makes the viewer squirm. Lilya is the more genuinely unsettling film because Moodysson seems to actually know something of what it is to take and stumble beneath a crushing blow. You feel that here. And you feel it for days after.
Raising Victor Vargas was written and directed by Peter Sollett; produced by Robin O'Hara, Scott Macaulay and Alain De La Mata; and stars Victor Rasuk. Now playing at Edwards University, Irvine;
Lilya 4-Ever was written and directed by Lukas Moodysson; produced by Lars J�nsson; and stars Oksana Akinshina. Now playing at Landmark Nuart, Los Angeles.

Bassist McBride stresses attitude for jazz hopefuls
Bassist Christian McBride has performed with jazz-piano great McCoy Tyner and singer-actress Queen Latifah, but he tries to provide something other than versatility.
"I tell any young bassist I meet, the most important thing they can be is dependable," he says.
McBride, who also is an arranger and composer, will show one aspect of his dependability April 22 at the Cabaret at Theater Square, Downtown, where he will appear with his trio.
The concert is part of the Jazz Appreciation Month series sponsored by the Pittsburgh Cultural Trust. Janis Burley Wilson, a vice president of the trust who puts together the jazz events, says she invited McBride because he takes his music in so many different directions, yet follows directly from the legacy of bass players such as Paul Chambers or Pittsburgh native Ray Brown.
His visits have shown that talent many times. He has appeared in a trio led by guitarist Pat Metheny, in a small group doing a tribute to bassist Brown, and with the Pittsburgh Jazz Orchestra, as well as groups of his own.
Earlier this year, he released albums featuring the trio appearing here — with pianist Christian Sands and drummer Ulysses Owens Jr. — as well as his quintet, Inside Straight.
"No matter what you are doing, the most important thing is to play the best you can behind whoever is out there soloing," he says.
The Grammy award-winner says that attitude is the key to the success of all the great sidemen. He believes focusing on such will result in "a bassist having to turn down jobs just because he has too much work."
It certainly appears to keep McBride busy. Along with his performing, the Philadelphia native also does a great deal of arranging and composing for groups ranging from the trio to his big band. Currently, he is working on putting together his next album, a big-band version of his work "The Movement Revisited," a four-movement suite dedicated to four of the major figures of the civil rights movement — Rosa Parks, Malcolm X, Muhammad Ali and Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. It was commissioned by an arts group in Portland, Maine, in 1998 for a jazz quartet, he says, but he believed it could be better presented in a larger setting, so he kept working at it.
He hopes the album will be released in January or February of 2015.
He keeps his mind open for projects such as this one. And while he wants to stay open to new directions, he says he sees nothing wrong with nestling close to tradition. Art Blakey, for instance, had a sound that never changed, but his band and leadership produced a world of excellent players, he says.
"I'm at the midpoint of my career, I think," he says. "God willing, I will have another 25 years, so there will be a lot of music to work on."

Tom Lochtefeld is poised on the edge of a monster wave — one he's been building since 1980.
You see, his company manufactures wave machines: Flowrider for mortal sorts, and Bruticus Maximus, which shoots 125,000 gallons a minute up a 10-foot wall, resulting in a 30-mph wave that inspires respect from surfing pros. He's built Wave House, a surfing theme park at San Diego's Mission Beach, where Bruticus and Flowrider pull in crowds who watch both surfers and sunset while wriggling their feet in the sand.
By any measure, Lochtefeld is a success. He's been the leaseholder for the mammoth Mission Beach indoor swimming pool known as the Plunge since 1992, recently completing major renovations on the historic space. On top of that, he's built a great hometown business that has MTV, game developers and music video producers begging to be part of his action. And investors are catching a ride on this wave: Bruticus rocks at the Wave House in Durban, South Africa, and a second franchise opens on the Isle of Jersey, a British resort, in 2007. Other Wave Houses are in development for Las Vegas, Phoenix, Honolulu, Sydney and Singapore.
Lochtefeld agrees that he's living the dream, but he has his own yardstick for success. At the Mission Beach Wave House's open-air bar, he's dressed in T-shirt, cargo pants and flip-flops, looking more lifelong surfer than international developer.
Growing up in La Jolla, surfing every day, he can't remember a time when he didn't have an intense emotional connection with the ocean. "I've always followed my passion. I wanted to find work that would keep me close to the ocean. I went surfing this morning. Every day I get up and say, 'What's next?' I come to work charged."
Now, that's success.
So, how did Tom Lochtefeld make his way out of the ocean and up the hill to earn his J.D. from USD in 1977? And why law school? "It was like riding switchfoot [surfing with your non-dominant foot forward]. I thought law school would help me learn to write better. You learn a lot when you force yourself to do things you think you can't do."
That sort of work ethic has aided his two-decade quest to build a machine that creates waves "the best surfers in the world would want to ride." A logical planner, Lochtefeld bought a minority interest in the Raging Waters water park so he could learn the business model. After he sold his interest in 1989, he spent a year — and most of his capital — with local hydraulics engineers, figuring out how to push 30,000 gallons of water per minute up an inclined ramp. The result was Flowrider.
He now sells 20 Flowriders every year, and profits are surging. With Wave House up and running, he's working on a "surf ranch" where the water will cover several acres, and surfers will paddle into waves on full-size boards.
Though it's still a sand castle in the sky, making that ranch a reality is Lochtefeld's current passion. And judging by his past, he's likely to ride that creative surge all the way in to shore.

Appliance caused Everett auto shop fire
A fire at an Everett auto repair shop on Saturday night was started by a malfunctioning dehumidifier, Everett Fire Marshal Rick Robinson said Monday. The fire was reported about 5 p.m. in the back room of the business in the 10100 block of Fourth Avenue W. Flames from the appliance had reached a nearby propane tank, Robinson said. That caused the tank to automatically release a relief valve. "That intensified the fire, but we had an early warning, and the crews did a good job," Robinson said. Damage was estimated at $15,000. No injuries were reported.

Kudos to the Calgary Flames organization for putting together a touching pre-game ceremony to remember the life of Brad McCrimmon, who lost his life in the plane crash that killed most of the Yaroslavl Lokomotiv hockey team last September. The Flames welcomed members of Brad's family to the 'Dome tonight before the Flames-Red Wings game and invited almost 20,000 Flames fans to pay their respects.
It was a touching ceremony which was made even better by this tribute video:
After the video the team asked for a moment of applause from everyone, instead of a moment of silence. It was an appropriate way to remember a positive and popular player and coach who was referred to as "The Beast" by his teammates.

After our "How to Build a Southerner" episode, we got lots of requests to talk about other cultures and how they are portrayed on TV. Today we get into another -- the gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgendered community. What we talked about isn't an exhaustive list of gay characters on TV (there are far to many for that to work), but a look at trends in gay characters and how they're portrayed -- and how straight characters relate to them.

On the front lines of the African climate change battle
Who's killing Uganda's leading Muslim clerics?
11 Nov 2013 12:55 GMT
Hamidreza Gholamzadeh is a Tehran-based freelance journalist and cyber activist.
Since Mohammad Khatami's election as president of Iran in 1997, presidential elections have gained more weight among Iranians. However, the controversial election in 2009, which led to unhappy post-election events in Iran, added to the sensitivity of this year's poll. So the current Iranian year began with mixed feelings about the upcoming elections.
Some were worried that the events following the previous election would happen again, while others were thinking of boycotting the election. Meanwhile, politicians and those running in the presidential race were also cautious not to cause any mishaps. This was evident in TV debates and programs, too.
State-run election programs and debates which had been heavily criticised in 2009, were now held with a high degree of caution and wariness, and were welcomed by
Since Mohammad Khatami's election as president of Iran in 1997, presidential elections have become more significant for Iranians. The disputed elections in 2009, which led to mass protests in Iran, added to the sensitivity of this year's poll. As a result the current Iranian year began in March with mixed feelings about the June elections.
Some feared a repetition of 2009 events, while others were thinking of boycotting the poll. Meanwhile, politicians and presidential candidates were cautious not to commit any mishaps. This was evident in the TV debates and programmes leading up to the poll.
State-sponsored TV interviews and debates, which had been heavily criticised in 2009, were now held with a high degree of caution and wariness, and were eagerly watched by Iranians. They later proved to be very influential in deciding the election outcome. It was during one of these interviews that Hassan Rouhani -and his team- revealed what he said were short-term plans to make tangible changes to the economy and foreign affairs in the first 100 days of his administration.
Cautious optimism
A high turnout at the polls brought about a surprisingly friendly atmosphere in Iranian politics after the elections. This was reflected during President Rouhani's inauguration, and in the Iranian Parliament's (Majlis) warm welcome to his cabinet ministers who received remarkably high confidence votes.
Zarif's meeting with the P5+1 foreign ministers and secretaries was the first diplomatic move by Iran and it was not welcomed by Iranian hardliners. The final hour of Rouhani's trip to New York was enough to dissipate the friendly atmosphere that had existed since the election.
With new government critics counting down its first 100 days in power, Rouhani's administration faced a bitter reality. Rouhani had stated that he would report to the parliament and the people on the state of the nation, as soon as his new cabinet was formed. This was considered, by his critics, as the first break of his promise; epecially because the government had declared that the administration would provide a comprehensive plan for solving the main problems facing the country after 100 days of being in office.
The current state of the nation was not exactly what the new government expected. A number of factors had resulted in a situation which was difficult to improve. The last years of Ahmadinejad's government were marked by tensions with parliament, more sanctions were imposed on the country, and the dire consequences of his administration's poor performance were slowly unfolding.
President Rouhani came to power by setting a priority for diplomacy and the economy, neither of which appeared to turn out as he expected.
Foreign relations issues
During his campaign, Rouhani highlighted his foreign policy plans and emphasised the necessity of prioritising the easing of tensions with the West. He then talked about how sanctions have had a significant influence on Iran's economy, and that by resolving disagreements with the West, this issue could be solved to a considerable extent. His campaign focused on showing how Ahmadinejad's government had mismanaged foreign policy, which in turn had led to the economy being in the dismal state it was in.
After being elected, Rouhani directed the foreign ministry to handle the nuclear talks with the P5+1 to bring the nuclear issue to a resolution. This diplomacy was welcomed by various factions in Iran and his speech at the UN General Assembly was positively received by all sides in the country.
In Iran, Rouhani's moves, and Foreign Minister Javad Zarif's actions were scrutinised by all groups. Zarif's meeting with the P5+1 foreign ministers and secretaries was the first diplomatic move by Iran which was not welcomed by Iranian hardliners. The final hour of Rouhani's trip to New York was enough to dissipate the friendly atmosphere that had existed since the election. His unprecedented phone conversation with US President Barack Obama was condemned by the Principalists.
In response, the government said that the meetings had the full backing of Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. The 15-minute phone call was then used as a pretext by some to urge cooperation with the US.
The revelation of the conversation by the US also raised tension with the hardliners who were not happy with the potential thawing of relations. On his return from New York, President Rouhani was greeted at the airport by two groups of demonstrators. One welcomed his diplomatic efforts in the US and the other held silent demonstrations against the phone call and Zarif's meeting with US Secretary of State John Kerry. Both sides, however, were outdone by a handful of hardliners who threw shoes - a sign of disrespect - at Rouhani's car.
The following days were marked by US politicians repeatedly using the old rhetoric, "all options are on table", with some senators claiming that the changed behaviour of the Iranian government was a result of sanctions and called for even tougher sanctions against Iran.
These attitudes had a negative effect on Iranian diplomatic efforts. The Iranians were also deeply offended by a statement made before Congress by lead US negotiator, Wendy Sherman. She said deception was a part of Iranian DNA. Consequently, these led the principalists in Iran to conclude that the softened attitude with the US has not been worth the effort.
On October 15, the P5+1 group met with Zarif and his team in Geneva. Supporters of presidential candidate and former chief nuclear negotiator for Iran, Saeed Jalili, used the media to closely monitor every move of the two men. The comparison and criticism hit a crescendo when the Iranian team announced that it had been agreed by all sides to keep the contents of the negotiations secret. Once again, the principalists accused the government of making compromises to the West.
Despite the fact that the new administration has not been successful in fixing the economy, its honest way of dealing with it has won approvals from some.
Khamenei's explicit support for the negotiations, declared on November 3, however, seems to have revived Rouhani's diplomatic efforts.
The economy
The administration soon realised that sanctions, while tough, did not have a significant effect as previously thought. Rather, it was the gross incompetence of Ahmadinejad's handling of the economy that had a more devastating impact.
High inflation, and other problems inherited from the previous government, were not easy to put under control. While Rouhani's victory and confidence in his cabinet led to a considerable decrease in the value of the US dollar versus the Iranian currency, comments made by the head of Iran's central bank were a game changer, triggering more controversy. The administration's economic team tried to realistically assess the economic situation. Meanwhile, Iranians were discontent about the soaring price of many goods and products.
With voters expecting tangible improvements in their lives, which they have yet to see, the government of "Prudence and Hope" began to report on all the missteps of the previous administration, and was not talking about concrete changes and improvements. The government's optimism to improve the economy in the short-term has now given way to hard realism. Critics of Rouhani charged that instead of fixing problems, his team was only complaining about the problems it had inherited.
Despite the fact that the new administration has not been successful in fixing the economy, its honest way of dealing with it has won it popular backing. Rouhani's approval ratings have not dropped, but many criticise the government for just reporting mistakes and problems. They charge that it is very pessimistic and that the government is trying to put all blame on the previous administration.
The first 100 days of Rouhani's administration seem to have been spent trying to get a handle on the state of the country. Rouhani understands that he cannot repeat the mistakes of his predecessor and should establish close ties with Majlis and abide by its laws. He has a long history of working with the Supreme Leader and this close relationship can bring about better cooperation. This was something Ahmadinejad tried to ignore to the detriment of his policies.
The parliament's rejection of the candidate for the Ministry of Sport and Youth, and lower confidence votes for the candidates for ministries of education and higher education, was a signal to President Rouhani that the representatives are more closely monitoring his performance, and that he would be better off to abide by his moderate slogans. Vice President Eshaq Jahangiri has promised improvements in peoples' lives by the next Iranian year (March), but many people are hoping to see those changes sooner rather than later

Drummer Larry 'LJ' Harness performs in Las Vegas.
- Filed Under
Larry "LJ" Harness is a heck of a drummer, and a very thankful man.
"I could play a victim or I could play a victor," said the Parker City native, who went from performing for thousands of fans to the depths of cocaine addiction, then back to wholeness. "I choose to be a victor."
A warm, passionate man whose career with Cadillac of Las Vegas has brought him friendship with folks like actor Nicholas Cage and boxer Evander Holyfield, Harness is returning here next weekend for a memorial service for his late father, Robert. While he's here, he'll also play a role in marking the 50th anniversary of Monroe ...

Update: Found a video of the process! The following video is great for Mirror Coat , Kraftkote or Envirotex Lite since they're essentially the same, self-leveling product. Envirotex Lite appears to be the best (and cheapest) of the 3. After looking everywhere, I finally found the best prices at Amazon.
How do you pour resin to finish a table or bar top? Is there a particular brand and source that you would suggest me using?. And last of all, how is it best done? I'm looking to make it clear, hard and protective similar to the tabletops with coins underneath at local bars.
Answer #1
This is done with a 2 part Resin and Hardener. I finished building a really big, 65 Sq. Ft. Bar about a year ago, using Envirotex Lite. Tech Services is very helpful. The stuff did a great job, in fact a buddy of mine has been drooling on my bar ever since, this week I'll start on his bar. Build a good dust shield to cover (but not touch) your bar top after the pour, this stuff is a dust magnet, and takes 24 to cure. And unless your floor is bare concrete... cover it.
Use the first thin coat to seal not only the pores in the wood, but cracks between slats. (My bar top made of red oak flooring, and the stuff ran down even the smallest crack) This may require two thin coats. Wipe down with rubbing alcohol between coats.
Best way to remove bubbles is with CO2... an old CO2 fire extinguisher did a great job!
Proper mixing is critical... use 2 buckets, mix well in the first one then transfer to the second scraping excess material from the sides, mix well in the second bucket... when you make your pour... DO NOT SCRAPE THE SIDES of the second bucket! Then, MOVE FAST... there is no time for a brew once you start to mix. The bigger the pour the bigger the challenge, you might want to experiment on some smaller stuff first.
Lastly, getting it at Amazon saves you a ton of $$ over retail.
Answer #2
The ones you see in restaurants are done using a mold of sorts and a peroxide promoted polyester (?) type resin (2 part mix, usually 2% peroxide, 98% vehicle). This is generally (but not always) sold only in 5 gallon pails to industrial users as it is extremely hazardous. The polymine 50/50 mix that you can buy in many mail order houses and craft supply houses will work too but only if you pour it on flat (horizontal) surfaces and don't pour more than about 1/8" at a time. Stand the bartop on edge and make a 'dam" on the edges with masking tape. Pour and brush (use disposable foam brushes) out. Use a hair dryer or a propane torch over it to evaporate the bubbles that form. Remove the tape. Pour a coat on the top, being careful to brush right to but not run it over the edge you poured the first time. Repeat the propane or hair dryer bubble dissolving process and, if you're REAL lucky, it'll be perfect at the edges. Runs can be ground off using 80 grit or coarser sand paper and a power sander. Note: Left in the mixing pot in a depth of more than 1/2" or so, the heat generated by chemical bonding is enough to melt plastic and, on rare occasions, to start a fire by itself. Use care when messing with the stuff...either stuff... polyester or polyamine.The stuff can be thinned and wiped off BEFORE IT SETS using any lacquer thinner type product, although Xylene works best for cleanup and as a thinner when necessary (never more than 5-10%). We used to turn out 4-500 music boxes a day with the stuff on all four sides and the tops....not much work but there's a real knack to getting the edges perfect.
Answer #3
If you want a finish, then I'd suggest Envirotex Lite or the various "Bar Top" finishes. Generally the bar tops are also heat resistant.These are acid-cure urea formaldehyde resins. Very quick and pretty easy to work with, but they stink like nothing on earth when freshly mixed! Goes away quickly though. I wouldn't use epoxy as an outdoor finish, as it's not good with UV. If you do use it, an opaque pigment will improve things. The bar top finishes don't like being applied over other finishes, but they're OK over epoxy that was used for crack filling. Mix your epoxy with a filler before applying; glass micro-balloons for a clear / translucent / white result or phenolic micro-balloons and a spot of green pigment to match darker timbers. The fillers will reduce the amount of epoxy you use, make the mix more viscous and easier to work with for crack filling, and make the hardened epoxy easy to work with a hand scraper. Over-apply and then use a #80 to take it down flush.
Extra Tips For Making the Clear Resin Top Smooth
The one time I saw it being done the installer used several decks of playing cards to smooth it out. (while wet of course) I don't know what product he used but it came out beautiful.

A.H. Belo Corp.
A.H. Belo says in its second-quarter earnings report that it will increase its investment in 508 Digital, "a new division at The Dallas Morning News that provides digital marketing solutions for underserved small and medium-sized businesses," from $3 million to $4 million this year. It expects to make $1.5 million from 508 Digital.
On the other hand, the company has scaled back a $4 million advertising and marketing campaign for the newspaper. It now plans to spend $2 million to $2.5 million on that this year.
Like other companies, A.H. Belo's print advertising is down more than its digital revenue is up. Overall revenue didn't decline as much as it did in the first quarter, however. Second-quarter earnings were $262,000, a margin of 0.25 percent.
Advertising revenue, including print and digital revenues, decreased 8 percent, with the smallest percentage decrease at The Press-Enterprise followed by The Dallas Morning News and The Providence Journal. Display advertising revenue decreased 15 percent to $21.5 million, and preprint revenue decreased 1 percent to $20.3 million. Classified revenue decreased 13 percent to $13.6 million. Digital revenue increased 1 percent to $8.8 million. When the impact of a revenue allocation discontinued in 2012 is excluded, digital revenue increased 8 percent. Digital automotive revenue increased 16 percent year-over-year.
Circulation revenue declined 3 percent for the company, in part because single-copy sales were so strong in 2011 due to the Dallas Mavericks' championship. (That's a circulation strategy: Winning sports teams!). The company made up some of the decline by outsourcing The Providence Journal's newspaper delivery.
The report doesn't break out the impact of its website paywall, which has been up for more than a year.
The company also is using using less newsprint (down by 4 percent from the year before) because its papers have fewer pages.

Hope Celebrates Dedication of Van Andel Soccer Stadium
Posted October 17, 2009
HOLLAND - Hope College today dedicated its new $5.3 million Van Andel Soccer Stadium, a world-class facility serving the Hope soccer program and Holland-area sports and recreation community.
"This is an exceptional facility for the Hope and Holland communities," Hope College president Dr. James E. Bultman said. "When we envisioned a stadium in this natural setting, we knew it would be special. In reality it has far exceeded our expectations. We are so very grateful to David and Carol Van Andel for their vision and generosity in making this project come to such marvelous fruition.
The daylong community celebration included youth exhibition games, Hope College men's and women's soccer matches, and a dedication ceremony, community picnic and fireworks display.
The series of family friendly events also featured special appearances by three Women's Professional Soccer League players, including West Michigan native and two-time Olympic gold medalist Lindsay Tarpley. The Chicago Red Stars standout was joined by Brittany Bock and Manya Makoski, members of the Los Angeles Sol. The pros led an interaction session for the youth soccer players, participated in the dedication ceremony and signed autographs at the community picnic.
The dedication ceremony featured the project's lead donors, David and Carol Van Andel, as well as a video appearance by Dutch footballer Rudd van Nistelrooij.
"Today's dedication of one of the finest collegiate soccer stadiums in the nation marks an exciting new era for Hope College soccer," said David Van Andel. "As HopeCollege alumni, proud parents of two Flying Dutchmen and longtime members of the Holland community, Carol and I are thrilled with this magnificent new facility. It's gratifying for us to support projects that enhance programs, engage the community and postively impact the local economy."
Designed to complement Hope's recently expanded athletic complex, the stadium was built on the site of the college's existing soccer fields. The state-of-the-art facility includes stadium-style and bleacher seating for 1,400 fans, a concession stand, public restrooms, two locker rooms, a training room, a meeting room for visiting teams along with a ticket booth and press box. It features terrace areas for picnics and tailgating as well as lighting for night games and artificial turf. The project also included establishment of a maintenance endowment.
As one of the nation's largest single-purpose stadiums in its division, the facility has the potential to attract major sporting events to the area, resulting in a significant economic impact. According to Hope College officials, a stadium of this caliber could draw MIAA tournment play, NCAA and MHSAA post-season play, age group soccer play, soccer camp tournaments and lacrosse contests.
Later this month, it will host high school playoff soccer games, including the Division 4 Regional Semi-Finals and Finals and the Division 3 State Semi-Final.

Gunmen attack major hotel in KabulComment on this story
Kabul, Afghanistan - Gunmen fired shots inside a luxury hotel on Thursday in the centre of the Afghan capital Kabul, police said, but the scale of the attack and the number of casualties was unclear.
Security sources told Reuters that two or three gunmen armed with pistols entered the Serena hotel by a back door. Two people had been wounded, they said. There were no details on the nationality of those hurt.
One person who was taken to safety along with other guests said that the shooting appeared to begin in the hotel restaurant.
Another guest, hiding in his room, said he could hear sporadic gunfire.
Police spokesman Hashmatullah Stanekzai confirmed that shots had been fired, but said it was unclear if it was an attack by insurgents. He did not speculate on other possible attackers.
Spokesmen for both the Interior Ministry and the Taliban said they were seeking more information about the incident.
The hotel was attacked in 2008 by a suicide bomber and six people were killed.
Since then, it has beefed up its protection and is considered the safest place to stay in Kabul, protected by multiple layers of security including metal detectors and armed guards. It is home to many United Nations staff and foreign delegations.
Earlier in the day, the Taliban attacked a police station in the southern city of Jalalabad with multiple suicide bombers and gunmen. At least 11 people were killed.
The Taliban have vowed to kill anyone associated with next month's presidential elections. The April 5 polls should mark the first time one elected government hands power to another in the history of Afghanistan.

Blockbuster On Demand coming to Samsung TVs, mobile
updated 12:35 pm EST, Mon February 20, 2012
Blockbuster streaming due on Samsung TVs in 2012
The manager of the Blockbuster name in Australia, Franchise Entertainment Group chief Paul Uniacke, stated Monday that Samsung had scored a key deal to get Blockbuster On Demand across virtually all its devices. The pact outlined to Smarthouse would see Blockbuster arrive both on TVs and Blu-ray players as well as on mobile devices like smartphones, tablets, and ultrabook. Unofficially, the US, UK, and mainland Europe would get access in the first half of 2012, with Australia not expected before September.
Concerns had existed that Blockbuster's presence was shrinking following a decision by TiVo to shed support. A Samsung move would dramatically improve Blockbuster's reach given Samsung's front position in TVs. Typically, only companies like Netflix have had a similar level of ubiquity.
Separately, insiders claimed that Samsung was working on a universal payment system that could tie together disparate services to pay for it regardless of where it comes from. A typical challenge of Internet TVs has been having to juggle multiple accounts to get access to both pay-per-show and subscription services.

Melissa McCarthy deserves better than a guitar to the face. She deserves better than getting hit by a car. She deserves better than puke gags and fat jokes. And she definitely deserves better than having her considerable comedic chops squandered in a movie this lazily slapped together.
Jason Bateman also deserves better than Sandy Patterson, a family man who discovers his identity has been stolen when arrest warrants start closing in. The timing couldn't be worse, as his wife (Amanda Peet) is pregnant with their third child and he's just starting out in a high-profile position at a new job.

Like his main character, director Lewy did field work in Ohio for the Democratic Party in 2004. And while he did not move north after the election, he ended up shooting his feature in Winnipeg in 2006.
