The safest music to drive to is…Comment on this story
Forget listening to Beethoven and Bach - if you want a safe soundtrack for your drive to work, you'd be better off tuning into Aerosmith. Researchers at London Metropolitan University have discovered that the oeuvre of the great composers can also make motorists drive more erratically.
In the study, volunteers were given a playlist including Beethoven's 5th Symphony, Bach's Toccata and Fugue in D Minor and Strauss's The Blue Danube, while others were given more contemporary genres to listen to. Those handed the classical playlist were found to drive more carelessly.
The study found that the safest driving occurred while listening to songs with a tempo of 60-80 beats per minute - roughly the same as a human heartbeat.
Aerosmith's soft rock classic Don't Want to Miss a Thing was found to be one of the safest songs drivers can listen to. Tiny Dancer by Elton John and Come Away With Me by Norah Jones will also keep you well within the speed limits - although the latter may cause you to nod off entirely. - Daily Mail

It seems like just about everything has been twice as nice for the Oak Grove football team this year.
With a pair of running backs over 1,500 yards and many defenses not able to tell the difference or any drop off in talent between them, it has been a good year so far for the No. 8 Tigers (8-4) in 2013. That trend continued this week, as the Tigers not only got to the LHSAA Class 2A quarterfinals to play No. 1 Many on Friday, but senior running back Greg Baker joined fellow OGHS running back Deion Wilson as two-time winners of the Cooper Buick/GMC High School Hero Award.
Baker rushed for 221 yards and two ...

Blueridge BG-2500 Review
A subsidiary of Saga Music, which also produces guitars under the Durango, Gitane, and Regal brands, Blueridge has offered a wide selection of guitars for more than 25 years. While many of the company's models are based on classic Martins, Blueridge also frequently looks to vintage Gibsons for inspiration, as is the case with the BG-2500 we recently received for review. Styled after Gibson's late-'30s Super Jumbo (later rechristened the J-200), the BG-2500 features maple back and sides and plus-size proportions that include a 17-inch wide lower bout.
Art Deco Details
Although the inspiration behind the BG-2500 is clear, Saga made some bold design choices that set the guitar apart from other jumbos. From top to bottom, the BG-2500 is adorned with art deco–style appointments—the sorts of things you might expect to find on a jazz-era archtop rather than a modern-day flattop.
Perhaps this guitar's most striking feature is its bridge—a solid piece of ebony cut to give it a tiered look, with two stairsteps on either side of the central element. The dark wood is accented with eight white inlays made from genuine mother of pearl—three on each side of the saddle and two behind the bridge pins. The pickguard is another standout piece of design. It is substantially thicker than the pickguards found on most flattops, and the faux tortoiseshell here is bound in white/black/white strips around its periphery. You might expect to see such a thing on a Gibson Super 400, but I can't think of another flattop with such an elegant pickguard. Other cosmetic touches further complement the art deco aesthetic, including a fanned headstock shape, full-figured pearloid fingerboard inlays, black/white/black/white purfling around the front and back, and a checkerboard marquetry strip down the middle of the back.
Classic Construction
Of course, finery doesn't shape a guitar's sound, so let's take a look at the nuts and bolts of the BG-2500's construction. The top is solid spruce, with a gloss finish highlighting its honeyed hue. The back, sides, and neck are flamed maple. Then there's the guitar's sizable body, which is 21 inches long and 17 inches wide at the lower bout (by comparison, the body of a typical 14-fret dreadnought is 20 inches long, with a lower bout of 155⁄8 inches). This all adds up to a guitar with a big voice that speaks with immediacy and clarity. Hit a chord and bang, the whole guitar chimes like a church bell.
The BG-2500's neck is heftier than most but feels appropriately proportioned to match the size and shape of its body. Open-position chords were comfortable to play on the fingerboard, as were full- and half-barre chords all the way up the neck. The medium-size frets are cleanly installed and evenly dressed, and the guitar intonates nicely in every register.
The review model I played looked good overall but was not cosmetically perfect. While it was clean inside, with nary a drop of stray glue to be seen, there was a noticeable amount of polishing compound residue around the bridge. Also, the dark stripe along the back of the laminated-maple neck didn't quite meet the matching dark finish on the back of the headstock at its central point. These minor flaws don't affect tone or playability, of course, and considering that the Chinese BG-2500 sells for roughly half the price of most American-made jumbos, it's easy enough to overlook.
Power a Plenty
To appreciate the BG-2500's full sonic potential you have to be willing to dig in pretty hard. Even if you're already a heavy hitter, you can probably go a bit harder on this guitar. The BG-2500 can take it and—up to a pretty high threshold—sounds better when pushed. Perhaps that's why its forefather, the Gibson J-200, has long been the acoustic guitar of choice for the Who's notorious power-strummer Pete Townshend. I played the Who's "Won't Get Fooled Again" on the BG-2500, and the guitar sounded loud but refined. To try something a little quieter, I tuned down to D A D G A D and played a bit of Led Zeppelin's "Black Mountain Side." (Zeppelin guitarist Jimmy Page originally recorded the song on a J-200). I was pleasantly surprised to find that the Blueridge sounds convincing as a fingerstyle folk guitar, with ample midrange honk as well as balanced upper and lower frequencies. Then, just for fun, I played one of my own tunes—a midtempo country waltz—and the BG-2500 worked equally well for that.
Superb Super Jumbo
With its jumbo proportions and fetching art deco styling, the Blueridge BG-2500 seems designed for rhythm work in a high-class Western swing band or acoustic jazz combo. But after putting the guitar through its paces in a variety of styles—from folky fingerpicking to unplugged rock 'n' roll—I found the BG-2500 to be much more than a one-trick pony, with a winning combination of substance and style.
SPECS: Super jumbo body with 14-fret neck. Solid spruce top. Solid maple back and sides. Tapered X-bracing. Three-piece maple and ebony neck.

Faf hails Steyn's last over heroicsComment on this story
Chittagong, Bangladesh – South African captain Faf du Plessis praised Dale Steyn as the world's best bowler after the ice-cool paceman kept his nerve to deny New Zealand in a last-ball thriller at the World Twenty20 in Bangladesh.
The Black Caps, chasing a target of 171 runs on Monday, needed just seven runs from the final over with five wickets in hand and big-hitting Ross Taylor at the crease, unbeaten on 62.
But Steyn had Luke Ronchi caught off his first ball and, despite being hit for four, took the wicket of Nathan McCullum with his fifth delivery, leaving Taylor needing to score three off the final ball of the Super 10 match to win.
The South African bowled a full-pitched delivery to Taylor who could only drive it back to Steyn, who ran him out at the non-striker's end, consigning New Zealand to a two-run defeat.
"Steyn proved why he's been the world's best bowler for such a long period of time," said Du Plessis. "It was a fantastic bowling performance."
"As a captain, to have a guy like that in the team anything is possible," he added.
"I thought New Zealand got themselves in the position where they should have won the game and something special was going to be required for us to take it away from them and Dale did just that."
Jean-Paul Duminy's unbeaten 86 had earlier lifted South Africa to 170 for six in their 20 overs.
New Zealand skipper Brendon McCullum hailed Steyn as a top bowler.
"We probably should have won it easily, can't take it to the final over against a top bowler like Steyn," said McCullum, whose dismissal for four off leg-spinner Imran Tahir was a big setback for New Zealand.
"If we had a little bit of luck, we'd have got across the line."
South Africa play the Netherlands in their next Group one fixture on Thursday while England take on Sri Lanka.
Defending champions West Indies face Bangladesh in a Group Two match in Dhaka on Tuesday.
The top two teams from each group qualify for the semi-finals. The final will take place in Dhaka on April 6. – Sapa-AFP

This is the official fan group for the game Edge of Space. Please join us to support Edge of Space, meet other fans, and have a great time! Keep up on all the latest news, updates, and events in the Edge of Space community.
If you thought the beta was looking good before, you won't recognize it now!
Posted by LadyAijou on Aug 27th, 2012
Sunday night, August 26th, Edge of Space developers Jake and Paul surprised the community with an unscheduled livestream. They were so excited to show off the game's incredible new look. Before this, fans had been limited to seeing the dirt biome, it was the only one to be featured in the beta since the end of the Kickstarter.
The community was shocked to see the silky smooth transition of backgrounds, as Jake and Paul traversed the now extremely varied biomes. Massive deposits of the ores and resources could be seen everywhere, a teaser for now, because those materials will be very precious when the final resource pass has come and gone, and the amounts present are drastically reduced. Another very nice sight was vegetation spawning freely in the environment, it was something else that had previously not been shown. The game's lighting system, while still in it's infancy, already shows amazing promise. Even the laser projectiles glowed while the character was hidden in complete darkness inside a cave. Edge of Space is definitely losing that raw beta feel, and well on it's way to being a dream game for sandbox building game fans!
The change is extraordinary! Here is the new comet biome, it looks amazing!

|Time of sampling is crucial for measurement of cell-free plasma DNA following acute aseptic inflammation induced by exercise.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 20800058 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE
|OBJECTIVES: To determine the time-course changes of cell-free plasma DNA (cfDNA) following heavy exercise.
METHODS: cfDNA concentration, C-reactive protein levels (hs-CRP), uric acid concentration (UA), creatine kinase activity (CK) were measured before and post-exercise (immediately post, 0.5h, 1h, 2h, 3h, 4h, 5h, 6h, 8h, 10h, 24h).
RESULTS: cfDNA increased (15-fold) 30-min post-exercise and normalized thereafter. hs-CRP increased (56%, p<0.001) 1h post-exercise, remained elevated throughout recovery (52-142%, p<0.0001), and peaked (200% rise, p<0.0001) at 24h post-exercise. UA and CK increased (p<0.05), immediately post-exercise, remained elevated throughout recovery (p<0.0001), and peaked (p<0.0001) at 24h of post-exercise recovery.
CONCLUSIONS: cfDNA sampling timing is crucial and a potential source of error following aseptic inflammation.

Primrose House is a vision that has become a reality, we believe that even the most disabled young people can, given the right support, also live in the real world. Primrose House is not about 'wrapping them in cotton wool', anymore than it is about sterile, clinical environments. The story of Primrose House (which follows), is one of personal belief and strong commitment. That vision came from the mother and father of a profoundly and multiply disabled young man, who wanted a future for their son that met his changing needs on a personal basis once he'd left school, and which recognised that his learning should not stop when his formal education ceased.
They did not want to see him segregated from the remainder of humanity, and yet they wanted to be sure that he had access to the necessary skills, care and special equipment that he needed to be as comfortable, pain-free, mobile and as healthy as possible. They wanted to ensure that his life was as rich, as long and as full as it was within their power to make it. They wanted him to continue to experience love, concern and most of all companionship.
During the course of their son's life they came to realise that they were not alone in their aspirations, and that many other parents wanted much the same for their disabled sons and daughters. To translate their vision into a tangible provision they recognised that they would need to find a site that was not far from his home area in Morecambe, on a main road and a bus route. They knew they would need to involve the local community in a way that developed respect for their son as a citizen in his own right, and that the only way to achieve this was by regular, ordinary, everyday contact. The parents equipped themselves with knowledge, and made contact with professional staff in health, education and social services. They investigated what was already available, and learned that small scale and day provision for profoundly and multiply disabled young people was neither available, nor planned in the local area.
The parents initiated local fund-raising, registered as a non-profit making charity, and from the personal contacts that they had made, invited people who were both knowledgeable and caring to form a Board of Trustees. After transferring their own assets to the charity, they then withdrew from the Trustee Board of the Charity, whilst continuing to take an active interest in the development of what came to be Primrose House. The clear message was given that they, nor anyone else benefits financially, but everyone benefits in terms of human advancement. A blend of the parent's own life experiences with their disabled son and professional advice from some of the trustees, helped to ensure that every light switch was the right height to be reached from a wheelchair, every curtain was chosen to excite the eye and please the heart, and every effort was made to make the control of the world about them as available to young adults with multiple difficulties as possible.
The belief of Primrose House is that rooms represent opportunities to grow, pictures and ornaments are symbols of individual human presence, and the best available equipment and furnishings are a token of concern and regard for the young people using them. As the use of facilities and the income derived increases, so investment in people will increase in an ever upward spiral of excellence. Another important concept is that the building is not the world, and is no more important than the surrounding land, similarly, the world goes beyond the boundary fences, and Primrose House aims to share in the use of the increasing recreational facilities in Heysham and the surrounding community.
Primrose House was born out of a family affection and concern. Hence, it will never close families out of people's lives. The doors are no more barriers to relatives and friends coming in, than to the young people going out. Transport and a means of personal mobility are crucial aspects of meeting a number of needs. Allied to the range of human needs Primrose House caters for, there is a corresponding range of staff skills, from physiotherapy to stop limbs from stiffening; to gardening to stimulate interest and awareness; from driving to transport people in wheelchairs to shops and local facilities; to a nurse to supervise medication etc; from a cook to provide wholesome and varied food; to cleaners to maintain hygiene; from on-site education and recreation; to supervision in off-site heated swimming pools. The list is almost endless and one obvious implication for even a non-profit making charity, is that maintaining a high level of local, community care for very disabled people is not cheap.
When full, Primrose House will not be expanded to take more people in, as much could be lost. There are sadly plenty of examples of modern day large institutions, where the individual personalities are lost in a welter of numbers, rules, regulations and rotas. It is hoped that Primrose House will provide a beacon to shed light on the value of small, specialised living habitats, and that this will generate other Primrose Houses who wish to emulate its human achievements. Having successfully raised enough money over a number of years to create a new purpose-built home, the original building became an ideal venue to develop a valuable resource, which could be used by our residents, carers, family, friends and community as a whole. A new vision was born – The Holistic Centre, which would be an attractive and accessible environment that could meet the needs of a wide range of people, both disabled and able-bodied.

|Three-Dimensional Contrast Echocardiography in Assessing Left Ventricular Diverticulum.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 22672537 Owner: NLM Status: Publisher
|Congenital left ventricular (LV) diverticulum is a rare malformation that can be alone or in association with other congenital abnormalities. Since the several complications have been reported in association with LV diverticulum, as cardiac rupture, heart failure, and endocarditis, patients with LV diverticulum who are managed with conservative treatment would require regular checkups to ascertain the absence of such complications. We report a case of LV diverticulum in a 47-year-old man. He took the serial three-dimensional contrast echocardiography, which was reliable and readily available tool for defining LV diverticulum and monitoring the presence of complications. (Echocardiography, 2012;**:E1-E3).

In Honor of Raider Todd Christensen (R.I.P.), The 10 Greatest Man Perms in History
Raider Nation is in mourning and even Raider haters are tipping their brewskis upon learning five-time Pro Bowl tight end Todd Christensen died during a surgical procedure in Utah Wednesday morning.
He was 57.
In honor of the one-time possessor of the best man perm on the planet, we present 10 others who have/do rock the hairstyle with gusto.
(Make sure to let us know who we missed in the comments below.)
1. Phil Spector
No, it's not real, but even former New York Yankee Oscar Gamble had to feel jealousy pangs when seeing the legendary record producer/murder defendant whip out that medicine ball-sized 'do in court. By the way, that is Phil Spector, right? I didn't accidentally grab Al Pacino?
2. Danny McBride
The Eastbound & Down star goes more Jheri curl than classic 'fro on his hilarious HBO comedy about a former big league (and bigger ego'd) baseball pitcher. McBride's mullet-shaped top is at its most powerful when he comes out of the surf with his body board, flapping those black locks from side to side like a shaggy dog just out of the shower.
3. Lindsey Buckingham (Buckingham Nicks era)
With the White Witch by his side, the talented singer/songwriter/guitarist made a critically acclaimed album that did so poorly in sales they thought they were done. Soon, Mick Fleetwood scooped Buckingham up for Fleetwood Mac, Lindsey insisted it be a "package deal" with Stevie Nicks and music/hair salon history was made.

A frigid winter across much of the country has brought some migrating birds much farther south than they usually travel.
Bay County Audubon Society member Neil Lamb says some of the birds are quite rare for Florida's Panhandle, including a snow bunting recently spotted at St. Andrews State Park.
The News Herald of Panama City reports the snow bunting typically doesn't fly farther south than Ohio in the winter.
Other visitors to the area include large numbers of loons and ducks.
Lamb says he's also seen a red-throated loon, which is an artic bird.
He says birders from across the southeast are flocking to the area to see the rare birds.

Thanks everyone for showing some interest in my post, I figured it would benifit everyone to know of who on the forum is willing to do some work for others heh. After alot of thinking it over, I dont think I'm going to be doing and indash install. The space I have to work with is to complicated (I think) and would require a bunch of relocation of stuff. Here's a pic of what I'm dealing with:
Ah well back to the drawing board. Wish me luck!
You'd think with the size of our 4X4's there would be hella room for an install?! BAH!
I don't think its that there isnt any room, but rather... the terrible design of the console itself. Each thing from the top the bottom gets pushed back, so its like a curved dash, which is fine, but terrible for modding. So needless to say, I'm bummed.
what about molding an entirely new piece? like under the dash but making it so that it looks just like an extension of the dash? kind of like it would be replacing that bottom pocket (am I seeing that right? that is what that is right?) and molding from there?

I'de be all for that, but hell, that's waaaayy outta my range of knowledge. As for the pocket, thats where the ashtray usto be, I took it out cause I don't smoke and didnt want the girlfriend to get any ideas(she does). If I could figure a way to mold it into the bottom that would be awesome, then it would be outta sight, titled upwards somewhat, and in one of the shadiest spots of the car. hmmmm. but like I said, I've no clue when it comes to this stuff.

Most Dangerous Game
Shawn Stone
by Billy Ray
When the story broke in early 2001 that the most damaging-to-national-security
spy in U.S. history had been caught, the details were so mind-boggling
as not to be believed. The spy, Robert Hanssen, was an FBI
agent, and the bureaus former head man on all matters related
to the Soviet Union. He was an old-school Catholic with some
very kinky habits. He was also known for his weird sense of
humor; Hanssen sometimes contacted his Soviet handlers through
messages in the classified ads, like 1971 Dodge Diplomat.
Needs work.
If the humor is missing from Breach, the taut, claustrophobic
thriller about the FBIs attempts to catch Hanssen, maybe
its because the film zeroes in on the last weeks before his
capture. And maybe its because the film is as much about
the buttoned-down, paranoid culture of the FBI itself as it
is about the agent who did it so much damage.
We get to know Hanssen (a reliably intense, self-possessed
Chris Cooper) through Eric ONeill (Ryan Phillippe), the FBI
newbie sent to spy on him. ONeill is told only that Hanssen
has an Internet sex problem that needs to be investigated;
otherwise, hes to be Hanssens clerk, which is FBI-speak
for secretary, driver and all-around errand boy.
Its fun to watch ONeill try to figure his boss out. Hanssen
is such a deeply controlled, messed-up person that the clerk
comes to believe that not only is his boss everything he seemsfamily
man, devout Christian, dedicated patriothe believes Hanssen
is a victim of FBI politics.
Agent Burroughs (Laura Linney, cool and professional) disabuses
him of this notion. She then mentors ONeill through the tense
few weeks before Hanssen is caught, when the action is transformed
into a cat-and-mouse game between the increasingly unstable,
paranoid agent and the more-wily-than-expected clerk.
The film paints an unappealing portrait of the FBI culturethe
sterile FBI headquarters, with its beige-bland hallways and
combination lock office doors, is chillingand the effect
it has on agents personal lives. When ONeill asks Burroughs
how to keep his marriage intact while continuing his undercover
work, she says: Dont ask me. I dont even have a cat.
Director Billy Ray, who also made Shattered Glass,
another fascinating film about a compulsive liar, has a gift
for casting. In Shattered Glass, he memorably featured
Steve Zahn and Rosario Dawson in brief roles as competing
reporters; in Breach, veteran performers Dennis Haysbert
(as a stern FBI honcho), Kathleen Quinlan (as Hanssens sanctimonious
wife) and Bruce Davison (as ONeills quietly demanding father)
all have small-but-significant parts.
But its Cooper, Phillippe and Linney who make the film work.
Each of their characters is acting, at some point or otherHanssen
is on all the timeand these real actors bring that out
beautifully. And, in the case of Cooper/Hanssen, chillingly.
Be Your Mirror
by George Hickenlooper
The bestwell, rather, lets say the most entertainingjudgments
of Factory Girl have already been pronounced: No less
eminent a figure than musician Lou Reed has excoriated the
film as the work of an illiterate retard, and Bob Dylan
is said to have considered legal action against the filmmakers
for their portrayals of certain characters and relationships
in this thinly fictionalized biopic of model-actress-heiress
Edie Sedgwick.
The fact that these two icons are so worked up is, perhaps,
the most interesting aspect of the film, otherwise a pretty
slight work. The film follows Edie (Sienna Miller) from 1964,
when she leaves Cambridge Art School in Massachusetts for
New York City, to her death in 1971. The bulk of the movie
focuses on the time spent in Manhattan as a member of artist
Andy Warhols entourage, the group of wanna-be artists, actors
and celebrities who operated out of Warhols loft studio,
the Factory. In this milieu, Edie, at first, shines. Warhol
(Guy Pearce) is captivated by her gamine beauty, her idiosyncratic
style and her familys social prominence and enormous wealth
(Edie was a descendant of one of the original settlers of
New Amsterdam, a signatory of the Declaration of Independence,
and a president of the Southern Pacific Railroad). She becomes
his first superstar.
Unfortunately, Edies more immediate family has a legacy,
as well: one of emotional and sexual abuse and the habit of
using compulsory confinement in mental institutions as time-outs.
She is, from the start, doomed. Its a tragedy weve seen
before. What makes this story differentand possibly actionableis
the depiction of Edies chosen champions, Warhol and Billy
Quinn (Hayden Christensen), a folksinger who seems so, so
familiar. The two are, in a word, horrible. In more words:
One is a coldblooded and fickle opportunist, the other an
arrogant and disloyal narcissist. They are posed as ostensible
opposites, with Warhol the fey, cosmopolitan aesthete and
Quinn the virile, populist artist.
Utter bullshit, of course. As Edie points out in one scene,
theres not so much difference between the two. They are,
first and foremost, famous people; the differences of style
of dress or drug of choice are incidental in this movie. Warhol
and Quinn make a kind of yin-yang model of American celebrity,
and its amusing that their real-life inspirationsor their
posthumous defendersare so riled at being equated with the
other, each exploitive and self-absorbed.
Miller does a fair job capturing Edies manic desperation,
and Pearces depiction of Warhol is the ugliest version of
the artist Ive seen (which I mean as a compliment). Christensen
is perhaps insufficiently viciousnot to mention a bit too
dreamyas Dylan, er, Quinn, but hes serviceable. In fact,
the actors do a commendable job presenting the fairly loathsome
side of celebrity. Still, the filmmakers cant resist glamorizing
the Factory scene, which shifts the attention from the corruption
of celebrity to the timeworn lost little rich girl motif,
and undercuts some surprisingly and entertainingly unsentimental
Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go
and Lyrics
by Marc Lawrence
The opening to Music and Lyrics is an amusing, and
sweetly nostalgic, video spoof of those sexy-silly, contagiously
catchy 80s pop bands. Mostly modeled on Wham!, the mock video
is more memorable than the movie its in. Its also the setup
for the plot: Hugh Grant plays a preening multi-instrumentalist
(and effortlessly passes for being 25 years younger). But
his character isnt George Michael. Hes the other guy, the
one nobody remembers.
One of several appealing conceits in Music and Lyrics
is that Grants has-been pop star, Alex Fletcher (a more confident
version of Grants wittily dithery romantic persona) isnt
the least bit bitter about being relegated to the where-are-they-now
circuit. He makes good money, women scream for his every hip-thrust,
and hes not under any pressure to compose a hit single. As
he tells his angsty plant lady: I have amazing insight. I
would use it on myself, if I had any problems.
Yes, Alexs coddled lifestyle includes a plant lady who
makes house calls. Thats how he meets Sophie (Drew Barrymore),
a plant-lady temp. Sophie is a talkative, quirky klutz, and
as such is recognizably the creationor more accurately, confectionof
writer-director Marc Lawrence, who scripted the Miss Congeniality
movies. Even for this sponge cake of a comedy, Sophie is overly
squishy, a walking compendium of ticks, insecurities, and
eccentricities. And though Barrymore is definitively adept
at playing adorable, and utilizes an entire repertoire of
mugging to compensate for Sophies lack of substance, shes
kind of a drip, at least compared to the drolly irrepressible
Alex. But because Lawrence traffics heavily in wish fulfillment,
Alexs interest is piqued when he notices that Sophie can
spout a rhyme at the drop of mist bottle.
And just in time, because Alex needs a lyricist in order to
compete for a chance to compose a song forand perform withteen
pop sensation Cora Corman (scene-stealing newbie Haley Bennett).
Like real-life pop tarts, Cora rifles the 80s hits of her
childhood; the parody comes from the trendy Eastern spirituality
she uses to wrap her stripper-like gyrations in a sari of
sincerity (think Britney crossed with Jewel). What makes the
character a standout is how her Zen affectations cloak the
concentration of a ruthless baby mogul.
The other attention-getter is Campbell Scott, in a brief part
as Sophies former boyfriend and mentor, a pretentious literary
lion whose hold over her provides the oh-so-convenient obstacle
to her personal and professional happiness. He also provides
the movies pithiest scene by one-upping Alex in social smackdown
between academic elitism and faded pop fame. Music and
Lyrics is less engaging when it focuses solely on Sophie
and Alex, as it must if they are to compose a song together,
but Lawrences predictability is made tolerable by a smattering
of funny lines and situationsalong with a cleverly augmented
replay of that amusing mock video.

Posted by Josh Katzowitz
The Bengals were supposed to have one of the best receiving corps in the league. With the addition of Terrell Owens – no matter what you think of him off the field, he can still produce – joining Chad Ochocinco, rookie WR Jordan Shipley and rookie TE Jermaine Gresham, Cincinnati successfully fulfilled its offseason mission in providing weapons for QB Carson Palmer.
Why, then, are the Bengals struggling on offense?
This week, we talked to Cincinnati receivers coach Mike Sheppard, who's been in the organization for the past four years and who previously was the head coach at New Mexico and Long Beach State. We asked him about the addition of Owens, why Ochocinco has scored only once this year and what it's like to be a Hall of Famer.
1. CBSSports : Coming off a loss and a bye week, you're one of those teams that – and there are probably 10 teams out there like this – you're not sure what you're going to get out of them every week. You just don't have any idea. Where are you guys right now?
Mike Sheppard : From my standpoint there's still an adjustment with a lot of the players together. It looks like we have some better players, but in the passing game, in reality, Palmer is throwing to only one guy he's seen before. Terrell, for all that he's achieved, he's still new here. We have a rookie tight end and a rookie slot receiver. For anybody, there's always that adjustment period. We're still going through it.
CBS : Obviously, you can't put a number on how long that lasts, but you'd like to think – we're in the middle of October – that at some point soon, that adjustment will get to where you want it to be.
Sheppard : Yeah, I think so. It has to happen soon. Everybody is aware of it. Everybody is working hard to continue to play together and learn each other better. Sometimes you can't construct the experience in practice that they'll see in a game. It's a matter of playing together. I think we get a little better each time. It's a matter of being able to put it all together.
2. CBS : There was a lot of talk in the offseason about Owens and whether anybody wanted him. For a long time, nobody did want him. I know he worked out here(in the offseason, and he was just OK. But now that he's been here, he seems to be playing well.
Sheppard : He's been great for me.
CBS : Tell me about that whole thing. I know there was some trepidation in the organization about signing him. It was between him and Antonio Bryant, and you guys signed Bryant originally.
Sheppard : The decision there was more about youth. They're both good players. At that point, that was that decision. In the beginning, we all felt (Owens) would make us better. That's been true. For me personally, he's hungry. He listens. He wants to do it your way. He's like Chad in both of those guys have had some success doing things that are instinctive. He's been a hard worker. He's been a player for us. So far, it's just a matter of getting that experience with Carson.
3. CBS : How disappointing was the Bryant thing? The team sunk a lot of money into him, and he never got healthy.
Sheppard : All of us were. Not disappointed in him, but disappointed he never kicked that (injury). Now, he's a football player. He has the right approach. He went hard. He talked, and he backed it up. He would have been an excellent addition if he was physically the player he was in the past.
4. CBS : Chad Ochocinco is struggling a little bit. He's not getting the ball thrown to him as much as T.O. What's going on with him?
Sheppard : If I'm not mistaken, he got 12 balls thrown to him in the first game. You look at that, and maybe it's not so true. He's had some chances. But things tend to come in bunches. In his case, he hasn't had the same opportunities that he had that first game. Those are things where it's a lot more about the opportunities. Everything has to be right to get the ball, not just have the play designed to go to you. It has to be right with the style of coverage they play. Sometimes we call the right play and get the wrong coverage.
CBS : Chad has been one touchdown away from breaking the club record for touchdowns for, like, six weeks. It's bizarre he's not scoring touchdowns. It just seems a little odd, because it's been so prevalent the past six or seven years.
Sheppard : If you look at it, you're going to be hard-pressed to remember any throws in the end zone to him. He's the straw that stirs the drink here. He's the guy that everybody knows we're going to attempt to get him the football. They start with him (defensively). A lot of it is because they're aware of Chad and what he's doing.
CBS : The only one I remember is when Chad was going across the back of the end zone, and it was tipped or he missed it or something like that.
Sheppard : That was a hard deal, because the throw was supposed to go the other way. It can come back to Chad late, but the way it worked out was it was more of a quick scramble by Carson, and as Chad started to come open, Carson had to throw it before he knew where (Ochocinco) was going to be. So, he just took a guess, and it was a little bit overshot.
5. CBS : You went back to your high school last week because you were inducted into the school's Hall of Fame. Now, when somebody asks you if you're a Hall of Famer, you can say that you are. Sheppard: It's such a great honor, especially when you know how many people that were around you that were better than you. You know? Sometimes I think to myself if it isn't more a recognition of professional achievement as a coach in the NFL.
CBS : You said all three of your kids were there …
Sheppard : Actually, all four were there.
CBS : But that's got to be a pretty cool to be recognized for something like that.
Sheppard : It's a great honor. It's almost embarrassing from the standpoint that really, deep down, you ask how many others are more deserving than you. But yeah, no one will ever appreciate that honor more than I.

US to launch 'secretive' space planeComment on this story
Washington - The United States is planning a new launch of its tiny, pilotless military space plane on Tuesday as part of a futuristic Air Force program that has fuelled speculation over its mission.
The X-37B, which weighs five tons and is 29 feet (8.9 meters) long, can return material to Earth in the way of the retired shuttle Orbiter program but is designed to stay in orbit for much longer at 270 days.
The last X-37B returned in June after orbiting for 469 days in a test of endurance.
The United Launch Alliance, a joint venture between Boeing and Lockheed Martin, approved the X-37B at Cape Canaveral in Florida after finding no danger following an anomaly during a separate launch two months ago.
The company said in a statement that a Global Positioning System satellite was put into orbit as expected on October 4 but that a fuel leak took place inside the thrust chamber, triggering an investigation.
Patrick Air Force Base gave notice of a hazard from a launch between 10:45am to 5:15pm (1545 to 2215 GMT) on Tuesday.
Authorities have said little more about the X-37B. An Air Force fact sheet described it as "experimental test program to demonstrate technologies for a reliable, reusable, unmanned space test platform for the US Air Force."
The secretive nature of the equipment on the X-37B has led to speculation in the media over its true nature, with some experts saying it could eventually be designed to tamper with satellites from rival nations.
China in 2007 became the first nation after the United States and the former Soviet Union to shoot down one of its own satellites, in a test seen in Washington as a sign of the rising power's ambitions in space.
The X-37B project was launched by the space agency Nasa in 1999 before being adopted by the Defence Advanced Research Projects Agency, which designs new technologies for the US military. - Sapa-AFP

Raikkonen misses F1 test after crashComment on this story
Silverstone, Northamptonshire - Ferrari's Kimi Raikkonen, who crashed heavily at the British Grand Prix on Sunday, will miss Formula One testing at Silverstone this week to ensure he is fit for the race in Germany next week.
Ferrari said Raikkonen, the 2007 world champion, was recovering from the 47G first-lap smash into the barriers, but still had some pain and bruising in his left ankle and knee.
"Scuderia Ferrari has decided to rest the Finn so that he can be fully fit for the German Grand Prix on 20th July at Hockenheim," the team said.
Frenchman Jules Bianchi, a Ferrari academy driver who races for Marussia, will take Raikkonen's place on the schedule on Wednesday with Spanish test driver Pedro de la Rosa in the car on Tuesday.
The test will be De la Rosa's first in the F14 T car after many kilometres in the team simulator.
Ferrari said: "During his day on track, a comparative test will take place at the same time back in Maranello and in a reverse of the usual situation, it will be Pedro de la Rosa on track and Fernando Alonso in the simulator."
Bianchi, who scored his and Marussia's first F1 points in Monaco this season, last tested for Ferrari in December 2013.

|Evaluation of DNA damage in Chinese toad (Bufo bufo gargarizans) after in vivo exposure to sublethal concentrations of four herbicides using the comet assay.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 18297398 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE
|Chinese toad, Bufo bufo gargarizans, is frequently found in rice fields, muddy ponds, wetlands and other aquatic ecosystems in China. Because of its habitat, it has many chances of being exposed to pesticides, such as acetochlor, butachlor, chlorimuron-ethyl, and paraquat, which are extensively used in rice or cereal fields. Amphibians may serve as model organisms for determining the genotoxic effects of pollutants contaminating these areas. In the present study DNA damage was evaluated in the Chinese toad using the comet assay, as a potential tool for the assessment of ecogenotoxicity. The first step was to determine the acute toxicity of the above-mentioned herbicides. In acute tests, tadpoles were exposed to a series of relatively high concentrations of acetochlor, butachlor, chlorimuron-ethyl, and paraquat for 96 h. The LC(50 )(96 h) of acetochlor, butachlor, chlorimuron-ethyl and paraquat were measured as 0.76, 1.32, 20.1 and 164 mg l(-1), respectively. Also, negative effects on the behavior of tadpoles were observed with acetochlor, butachlor, and paraquat. Secondly, the comet assay was used for detecting DNA damage in Chinese toad tadpoles exposed to sublethal concentrations of four herbicides. Significant (P < 0.05) concentration-dependent increase in DNA damage (as indicated by tail length, tail moment, olive tail moment) were observed from erythrocytes of tadpoles exposed to sublethal concentrations of acetochlor, butachlor, paraquat, and methyl methanesulfonate, except chlorimuron-ethyl. To our knowledge, this is the first report describing the use of Bufo bufo gargarizans for genotoxicity assessment of herbicides.

Rangers add protection at catcher by promoting Luis Martinez; Napoli day-to-day
SEATTLE – With Mike Napoli hobbled indefinitely by a bruised right knee, the Rangers added protection at catcher on Saturday by promoting Luis Martinez from Triple-A Round Rock.
To clear a spot for Martinez, the Rangers optioned right-hander Yoshi Tateyama to Round Rock for the third time this season. The Rangers kept Napoli active because they believe he will be healthy in less than the 15-day required stay on the disabled list.
"We needed a healthy body," manager Ron Washington said.
Napoli will be unavailable until at least Tuesday and probably longer because of a deep bruise on the inside of the right knee. Napoli received the injury in a home-plate collision with Seattle catcher Miguel Olivo during Friday's game.
Yorvit Torrealba will serve as the primary catcher. With off-days on Monday and Thursday, the Rangers believe Torrealba and handle everyday catching duties until Napoli has recovered. Torrealba has caught as many as three consecutive games only once this season.
Napoli described his status as "day-to-day'' and could not predict when he will return. Napoli said the swelling and pain would make it difficult for him to go into a crouch, but he is willing to go into a game if needed.
Martinez, 27, is considered a good receiver with limited offensive skills. He was hitting .267 with two homers and 17 RBIs in 50 games with Round Rock. Martinez appeared in 22 games with San Diego last season, hitting .203 with one homer and 10 RBIs.
Martinez will return to Round Rock as soon as Napolli is fit. Tateyama was in line to lose a roster spot as soon as Tuesday, when the Rangers expect to bring right-handed relievers Alexi Ogando and Koji Uehara off the disabled list.

Priory group interested in Wilmerding Castle
A Pittsburgh-based company has expressed interest in buying the George Westinghouse Castle in Wilmerding and converting it into a hotel and restaurant similar to its operation on the North Shore.
The Priory Hospitality Group operates the Priory Hotel, a former Benedictine monastery turned 42-room family-owned and operated boutique hotel.
John Graf, vice president of operations of the Priory Hospitality Group, met Wilmerding council president Stephen Shurgot and other borough officials within the past three weeks regarding a proposal for 324 Commerce St.
Graf said he's in the process of gaining political support and funding for the project, but noted no purchase agreement has been signed.
"We've looked pretty hard at the property and I think it can work," Graf said. "It's going to be expensive to do. ... It's a matter of trying to get financing together from different sources to get it up and get it running. That's kind of where things are right now. ... We have a lease on the property, but I'm not occupying it right now. It's just to maintain the property interest in it. ... I'm optimistic about the project. ... We're a ways off from being able to do something."
The group is seeking help from lenders, private investors and possibly some public money. It may cost more than $10 million to rehabilitate and renovate the property.
Graf said his group first became interested in the castle in 2011 after winning a small business association award, and spoke with people at an event about the site.
A feasibility study was conducted and architects got involved. Plans include developing 37 hotel rooms, two 200-person capacity banquet halls, a restaurant and meeting rooms.
"Our idea is to do it as a beautiful, first-class space and make it a destination that people would be proud of," Graf said.
Castle volunteer operations manager and former Wilmerding mayor Geraldine Homitz said the Priory's interest was kept under wraps for about a year, and now everyone's talking about it.
"He came in with planners and contractors," Homitz said. "The guy has a good business head because he wanted to make sure (it was feasible). ... With something this phenomenal coming in, it's going to upgrade the town."
"We're really excited that someone wants to renovate the Castle and make it a viable part of not only our community, but the whole region," Shurgot said. "I think it would make Wilmerding a very popular space for weddings and things like that. ... Council will support him any way he needs help."
Homitz said volunteers hope the developer would keep as much Castle history as possible.
"We asked if he could please leave at least George Westinghouse's office in there," Homitz said. "It doesn't seem that he's going to have all the stuff that we had. ... Money's tough out there. I hope he gets it."
"We'd like to weave as much of the history of the building in as we can," Graf said.
Wilmerding Renewed bought the building in 2006 for $750,000 from Virginia-based APICS Educational Research Foundation.
The Castle underwent a major restoration in 2011 after an overflowing toilet caused significant flood damage.
A shutoff valve on a toilet near the President's Room on the third floor malfunctioned in 2010, sometime between late Dec. 12 and early Dec. 13, resulting in massive flooding and destruction of carpeting on the third floor, and to the walls, ceilings, electrical systems, offices, floors and other items on the first and second floors.
The damage forced six Castle tenants to evacuate, and many events were canceled. Trafford-based Disaster Restoration Services began work to restore the facility in February 2011.
Repairs were completed in June 2011, just in time for George Westinghouse Days.
The castle closed in October 2012 due to financial constraints. The last event at the Castle prior to its closing was a field trip for Allegheny Traditional Academy fifth-graders on Sept. 28. Last year's Christmas Tree Parade was canceled.
Homitz said operating the Castle costs about $10,000 a month; about $30,000-$40,000 would be needed to reopen.
The Castle is a unique and historic structure. It formerly housed the general office of the Westinghouse Air Brake Co. and the personal office of prolific inventor and industrialist George Westinghouse.
It's in the National Register of Historic Places and is recognized by the Pittsburgh History and Landmarks Foundation.
Wilmerding was founded in 1890 as a company town around George Westinghouse's air brake business. The company's former headquarters in the Castle still houses Westinghouse products and memorabilia from its glory days.
The Priory Hospitality Group plan was discussed during Monday's workshop meeting of East Allegheny School District's board of directors.
"That might turn Wilmerding around," Superintendent Roger A. D'Emidio suggested about the Priory plan, as well as a possible sale of his district's old Westinghouse Elementary School in Wilmerding.

CLEVELAND -- Police and the county sheriff visited Ariel Castro's Seymour Avenue home five times in the 10 years that Gina DeJesus, Amanda Berry and Michelle Knight were held hostage.
Dominion East Ohio Gas installed automated meters between 2007 and last year, during the time the women were held captive.
Photos:Amanda Berry, Gina DeJesus and Michelle Knight found alive
But the gas company refused to tell Channel 3 News if an indoor meter was replaced with the newer model.
Cleveland Public Power, or CPP, says it normally checks residential power use monthly, which would mean employees would have visited Castro's home about 120 times over 10 years.
Did they notice or hear anything suspicious?
"Our contact with customers is limited to the outside of the home. It is a very rare occasion that we are called to go into a home," said Shelley Shockley, the spokesperson for CPP.
The Cleveland Division of Water reads meters every three months. That means they would have checked Castro's meter about 40 times while the women were held against their will. Did the employees ever go inside to repair the meter?
Channel 3 news has asked the city to provide all records involving visits to the home and repairs done to meters.

The sizing seems very strange. I've never worn a 34, but these are even a bit snug on me. If you are very tall and very skinny, they might fit you well. But for me, being normally 32" waist / 30" inseam these don't fit me well at all. Other than that, the quality seems really good.

GeekFindr: VectorMagic
- 2007-11-04

- design geekfindr web app
There comes a time in everyone's life where one has to shrink an image that doesn't look very good when you're done. Case in point, this links post I did awhile ago where I posted a line drawing of an archer. The original was sizeable so I needed to shrink it. Pushing that bad boy into Photoshop and doing an image resize gave me this less than satisfactory result:
Yeah, but undaunted I worked my awesome photoshop skillz and busted out this better, but still lame version which made it onto the post:
That was the end result of a "find edges" filter – which basically turned every line into two lines, shrunk down so much it's harder to tell, but it's kinda lame. As these things happen, shortly after that fated day, I found this awesome site – VectorMagic.
Here's an online app that you can upload your images to and it will do some kinda voodoo over them and turn them into vector graphics they can be nicely enlarged and shrunk without losing any detail. This is pretty amazing – obviously it will work better for some pictures than others – basically it's good for illustrations and not photos of the jungle.
So, to try it out I loaded up that li'l archer and vectorized it, downloaded the EPS version and opened that file up in Photoshop. Now here's the output from that shrinkage:
Nice! The lines are real black lines now in this – a subtle but definite improvement over my last effort. And one that would work much more effectively had the end image been bigger – my solution that I used would not have worked on a final size that was bigger than the one I chose – it would be too easy to see the outlines.
I'm sure if one were actually good at Photoshop or Illustrator the same thing could have been done, but for us mere mortals, VectorMagic really helps out in a pinch. It's a good tool to have in the ol' GeekFindr toolbox.
UPDATE: Well, some big brains chimed in with some other things you can do directly in Photoshop. I'm limiting this to very simple actions – because, well because I'm a very simple person. So here's the result of first changing the image from an indexed to RGB mode.
As you can see this is much better than the first thing I tried, simply shrinking this bad boy. But, I find it's results are not quite as good as the VectorMagic version. There's a couple places where you can see it, I think the most obvious (not that it is that obvious) is in the wrist area of the arm pulling the arrow back, in the VectorMagic one it's a pretty solid line, but in this one it gets a little sparse. This version does have the advantage of being a lot easier to do than the several additional steps to use VM with only a tiny nearly unnoticeable loss of quality.

A doctor with a family practice clinic in Islamorada was arrested on Monday and charged with defrauding a patient out of $60,000.
Jamie Goodman, 55, owns two businesses - Keys Medical Center and Essence of the Phoenix.
According to police, Goodman began treating the 45-year-old victim in 2005. She told police that she paid the doctor $120 using her debit card, then agreed to continue paying him that amount on a regular basis for treatment and prescriptions. She gave Goodman her credit card information for payment purposes.
Records show that between May of 2010 and September of 2011, Dr. Goodman over-billed her by $60,000, removing the money from her bank account using her debit card information, police said.
The victim told police that she never agreed to those payments, and that she never dealt with anyone else in his clinic.
Goodman was charged on Monday with grand theft, fraud and 15 counts of fraud - use/possession of the identification of another person without their consent.

Some local scroat has vandalised my neighbours car (neighbour is a pensioner). I am helping him repair it. Just need a bit of advice please. When fitting offside door windows (sourcing from scrapyard, hopefully) do the glasses just bolt to the mechanism or are they the type which you have to clamp into a "holder". (Hope you know what I mean). Also, does the rear quarterlight have to come out to fit the rear door window. It's a 5 door, T reg with manual windows. Mine is slightly different so can't really compare.

1982-05-29 Rafael Limon w co 12 (15) Rolando Navarrete, Aladdin Hotel, Las Vegas, Nevada, USA - WBC. Referee: Joey Curtis. Despite both fighters being rocked again and again in this blood-and-thunder affair there had been no knockdowns prior to the 12th round, with the champion seemingly ahead after being on top for the first seven rounds before being pegged back from the eighth when Limon (128¼) made his big effort. By that stage although both Navarrete (129¼) and Limon, who was now cut under the right eye, were tiring the former still looked strong enough to retain his title. Beginning the 12th strongly, Navarrete tore into Limon with swinging punches. However, it was the Mexican who provided the finish when fighting back and delivering a left uppercut followed by a right to the body which sent the champion down to be counted out eight seconds after the bell had rung to end the round.
