Then-Somerville quarterback Ryan Carty drops back to pass during a 2001 game against Bridgewater-Raritan.
- Filed Under
At 29 years old, Ryan Carty was too young by football logic to be the coordinator of a Division I college offense, but there he was calling the plays as the University of New Hampshire rang up 531 total yards and 38 points in opening the 2012 season with a victory at Holy Cross.
At 29 years old, Ryan Carty was too young by any form of logic to suffer a stroke, but there he was confined to a hospital bed, unable to feel the left side of his body and fighting his own weakened mind less than a week after making his impressive debut as a top assistant.

Jets 28, Patriots 21: Ten things we learned
Cold, Hard Football Facts for Jan 16, 2011
By Jonathan Comey
Cold, Hard Football Facts team pedicurist
FOXBORO - If we learned only one thing from Sunday's 28-21 win by the Jets in New England, it's that you never, EVER know what's going to happen in a playoff football game.
New York's stunning victory suggested that the prior three months of football had never existed; it was as if time had been turned back to August, when the Jets were the team going places and the Patriots were too thin to compete.
The Patriots, meanwhile, have lost three straight playoff games and their dynastic glory days seem to be more distant than ever -- this type of thing used to happen to other franchises, but not to New England.
If the Jets can win next Sunday, they'll have eliminated three future Hall of Fame QBs, on the road, in a row. Amazing stuff.
Here are 10 things we learned from their win over the Patriots, arguably the second biggest victory in franchise history.
1. Bill Belichick vs. Rex Ryan? Ryan, in a first-round TKO. A coach with a lesser pedigree would be worried about his job after a defeat like this one. While Belichick has no such worries, he was absolutely out-coached in this one, just as he completely out-coached Ryan in the previous Foxboro meeting.
While the specifics of the whos and hows of the end-of-the-first-half fake punt were still a bit sketchy in postgame, there was little doubt that it was a disastrously bad play call. With less than 2 minutes to go and one timeout, even a successful fake was hardly a guarantee of points before the end of the half.
And an unsuccessful fake? It led to seven points the other way, and left the Patriots in a hole they couldn't dig out of.
Add in New England's lack of execution, an incorrect challenge, the inability to solve New York's zone defense and, in the end, the final score, and this has to rank as one of the Hall of Fame coach's darkest days.
Ryan's team, meanwhile, just played last week. And he was working against a great coach who had two weeks to get ready. Yet Ryan's team was clearly better prepared, played smarter, mistake-free football (three penalties, zero turnovers), and entered the game with a great defensive game plan that confused Tom Brady and the NFL's best offense.
2. Mark Sanchez is shaping up as a Patriots killer. Sanchez finished with a passer rating of 127.3 Sunday (16 of 25, 194 yards, 3 TD, 0 INT). But it'd be tough for anyone who saw the game to suggest that it was an individualy sterling effort. His receivers turned in fantastic performances, including Santonio Holmes' remix of his Super Bowl-winning touchdown grab, and Sanchez failed to make several throws to open men.
The Jets also put in a great effort on the offensive line: the Patriots failed to get even a sniff of Sanchez. In short, just about any competent QB might have put up a good rating with the same performances around him.
With that said, these moments are becoming awfully common for Sanchez against the Patriots. His 127.3 rating Sunday night is the second highest mark of his career, trailing only his performance last year against Cincinnati (139.4), also in the playoffs (he attempted only 15 passes that day).
His most efficient regular-season game? That effort came against the Patriots, too, during New York's 28-14 win back in September (21 of 30, 220 yards, 3 TD, 0 INT, 124.3 rating).
Sanchez has plenty of help around him, as we saw Sunday night. But he's also proving to be a young guy not afraid of the big moment. He's 4-1 in the postseason and just knocked off Peyton Manning and Tom Brady in consecutive weeks. You don't do that with bad play at quarterback.
He also came up with a huge signature drive Sunday. The Patriots had just scored a touchdown and 2-point conversion late in the third quarter to make it a game again at 14-11. Then Sanchez and the Jets quickly slammed the door on the next possession: a 4-yard pass to Dustin Keller, a short toss to Jerricho Cotchery that turned into a 58-yard back breaker, another pass to Cotchery, this one for 7, and then Holmes' spectacular 7-yard TD reception.
Sanchez got plenty of help with two great plays by his wideouts. But with the game on the line he was 4 for 4 for 76 yards and delivered a huge touchdown drive that killed New England's momentum and effectively ended the team's 14-2 season without a single playoff win.
Sanchez in two short years has become the quarterback the Jets have desperately needed: one who turns in his best performances against the Patriots.
3. Tom Brady's rep took a huge hit with this loss. Brady's MVP seasons have had very unhappy endings and the quarterback was visibly shaken as he walked into his postgame press conference, looking for all the world like a man trudging toward an execution. Asked how he felt, whether he was in shock, he actually used the same answer from last year after the loss to Baltimore -- that it was like being on a treadmill going 10 miles an hour, and having the power turned off.
Brady was one of the guys who hit the off switch. His offense came out slicing easily through the Jets on their first drive, effortlessly marching from the New England 16 to the New York 28. And then, for the first time since October, for the first time in a record 340 attempts, Brady threw an interception. You know the importance of interceptions, especially in the playoffs.
And it wasn't just an ordinary interception. It was a poorly thrown ball on a short pass attempt, over the head of BenJarvus Green-Ellis right into the hands of linebacker David Harris (who also had a game-high 12 total tackles). It might have been Brady's worst pass of the season. And it killed New England's early momentum. The offense never again looked as good as it did up until that pick.
Brady doesn't deserve all the blame for the defeat, but he also didn't have an MVP game. It was a sad repeat of the Super Bowl loss to the Giants, where Brady certainly didn't give the game away, but also failed to take it on his shoulders and win it.
Coupled with last year's woodshead beating loss at home to Baltimore in the the wildcard round, that's three games in a row in the postseason in which Brady and his offense simply did not get it done. Brady's reputation as the clutchest of clutch playoff quarterbacks is sullied after these three straight playoff losses.
The final four now boasts three quarterbacks ready to surpass him as the NFL's most clutch playoff quarterback, if they haven't already: Pittsburgh's Ben Roethlisberger is 9-2 in his postseason career and two wins away from claiming his third Super Bowl ring since Brady last won one; Green Bay's Aaron Rodgers is putting up never-before-seen playoff numbers and is likely to be the NFC's quarterback in Dallas in three weeks; and Sanchez's rep is growing bigger by the moment.
4. Antonio Cromartie and the New York secondary got the last laugh. New England receiver Wes Welker might have made jokes at Rex Ryan's expense during the lead up to the game. But the Jets defense got the last laugh. They looked confused in the 45-3 loss to the Patriots back in December. But New England's pass offense looked just as confused Sunday.
Darrelle Revis led the charge for New York -- while making this defense look a lot like the one that nearly got the Jets to the Super Bowl a year ago. But Cromartie held his own at the other corner and certainly wasn't set to a torch like Patriots-bashing players had been in the past (Freddie Mitchell is still trying to recover).
New York's defense surrendered few big plays, save for a pair of long passes to tight ends Rob Gronkowski (37 yards) and Alge Crumpler (28 yards). They stifled the league's highest-powered offense, and made it look just plain bad for large stretches of the game. No small feat. And now they can laugh, at New England's expense, all the way into the AFC title game at Pittsburgh.
Meanwhile, Welker stood on the sidelines at the start of the game, allegedly a punishment for his stand-up routine earlier in the week. It was another curious decision by Belichick.
5. The Patriots won as a team, and in the end they lost as one. All of the new names that the football world marveled at during the 14-2 regular season seemed like illusions as the Patriots got bounced from the playoffs.
The starting lineup featured 13 players that didn't start in last year's playoff game. And for the first time since preseason the Patriots looked like what they are -- a very young football team and a work in progress that all the off-field evidence suggested was in place.
New England had been so good at all the little things during the season that it obscured a key fact -- that without doing the little things well, they really didn't do the big things well. They didn't make a lot of plays downfield, they didn't do well against deep passing attacks, and they fed on other people's mistakes.
6. New England's offensive line picked the wrong time to revert to Super Bowl XLII form. It was easy to overlook the Patriots even when they were sitting at 6-1, because they just didn't look right on offense or defense. But the return of Logan Mankins really solidified things all across the offensive line, and became the team's signature strength. The Patriots ended the year No. 1 on our Offensive Hog Index. In fact, they held that position most of the season.
And then, Sunday. The Jets registered five sacks and they did it largely by dropping plenty of players into coverage and sending only three rushers most of the night. In some ways it was a repeat of a win by that other New York team, the Giants, back in Super Bowl XLII, who dominated in pass rushing situations with only its defensive front four.
The Patriots used some runs in passing situations and reverses to run for 113 yards on 28 carries. But the Jets clearly got the better of the battles and set the tone for the upset in the trenches.
7. Shaun Ellis played like a man scorned. When a spot at defensive end opened up in the Pro Bowl, Ellis must have figured he'd get the nod. He's a huge factor on New York's defensive line, and one of the great 3-4 defensive ends in the league
Instead, Pittsburgh's steady Brett Keisel was selected despite missing six games -- and despite meaning significantly less to his team than Ellis does.
Ellis had two tone-setting first-half sacks on Brady and really caused havoc for much of the game. He's one of the league's best-kept secrets, but they surely know in the New York locker room how much he means. And at New York's current pace, his deserved trip to Hawaii might get postponed by more pressing business.
8. Reverse the uniforms, and the game played out just like you'd have expected. Weren't the Jets supposed to be the ones making mistakes, getting burned in the secondary and playing like the cold, windy weather was Kryptonite?
Instead, the Jets played like the Patriots had all year. They won the turnover battle 1-0, they caused three fumbles, and they took advantage of short fields to get easy touchdowns. They were spectacular in the red zone, they played to more than the sum of their parts, they got contributions from all across the roster and they, in the words of Santonio Holmes as he came down the tunnel, "took care of business."
9. New England's defense just didn't have the horses. Early in the season, the Patriots defense just didn't look good enough to get this team much past 10 or 11 wins. Then, down the stretch, with the offense setting a great tone, the defense seemed to come back to life.
But there were plenty of chinks in the armor: the Patriots don't have a pass rusher (something the final four teams boast in bunches), they surrendered 5.55 yards per play (25th) and they were the NFL's worst team on third downs all year, allowing opponents to convert an incredible 47.4 percent of attempts.
All three problems came back to haunt them against the Jets: the Patriots did not register a single sack, they were torched for 5.8 yards per play and they allowed New York to convert 6 of 13 third downs (46.1%), almost exactly the NFL-worst average they allowed during the regular season.
They also failed to stop the Jets in the red zone – four touchdowns in five trips inside the 20. In the end, those problems put too much pressure on a Patriots offense asked to contend with a good New York defense playing some of its best football of the season.
10. It wasn't the upset of the century, but it was the upset of the 2010 playoffs and a top-20 playoff upset of the Super Bowl era. With apologies to the Saints' road loss to Seattle, New York's win is now the game that has defined the 2010 playoffs.
Their victory was a prime example of how a team that dominated a regular season can fall apart in a hurry in the postseason. In the 1970s, 1980s and in to the 1990s, teams that dominated the regular season like the Patriots did in 2010 almost always at least got to the Super Bowl.
The salary cap changed things, though, and while parity is a myth -- after all, the Steelers, Colts and Patriots are there every year -- the difference between good teams and bad teams has definitely narrowed. No one has the type of superteam that the Cowboys or Steelers might have had in the 1970s, or the 49ers had in the 1980s and 90s.
New England showed that they just don't make 14-2 teams like the used to, and the Jets showed that they are pretty special. Road wins over Peyton Manning and Tom Brady back to back? Those moments don't come around every day.

Fresh Salad Bar Ideas That'll Wake Up Your Sleeping Taste Buds
Think salad has to be boring? Even a trip to the salad bar can be turned into an international adventure. Here's how to spice up your salad bar salad.
If you're trying to eat healthy, you know how convenient a salad bar can be. Unfortunately, that same old iceberg lettuce tossed with a few carrot shavings and cherry tomatoes can get a boring after while. Why not break out of salad bar boredom and add some real flavor punch to your greenery? Here are some salad bar ideas that'll wake up your tired taste buds:
Salad bar ideas: Go Asian
Add an Asian influence to your next salad bar salad. Start with a bed of romaine lettuce and toss in some shreds of red cabbage. Add bean sprouts and water chestnuts along with a few mandarin orange slices. Throw in some shredded chicken for protein along with some edamame if your salad bar has this. If not, you can substitute kidney beans. If available, you can also add bamboo shoots and fresh snow peas. Top with an oil and vinegar or sesame ginger dressing. This will give you a well balanced, tasty salad.
Salad bar ideas: Go Greek
A Greek salad is easy to prepare at most salad bars. Start with a bed of fresh lettuce. Add cucumbers, garbanzo beans, cucumber slices, and a few cherry tomatoes. Sprinkle with crumpled feta cheese. Top with olive oil and red wine vinegar or a prepared Greek or Italian salad dressing.
Salad bar ideas: Go fruity
Add some healthy, sweet strawberries to your salad bar salad. Start with a mixture of romaine and bib lettuce. Add fresh, sliced strawberries and cold cucumber slices. Lightly sprinkle with feta cheese and chopped walnuts. Top with a fruit based vinegar dressing or balsamic vinegar. For an even healthier variation, substitute spinach for the lettuce. You can also toss in other fruits such as apple slices, papaya, mango, or pineapple.
Salad bar ideas: Go Mexican
When you crave something a bit spicy, this salad is a nice alternative. Start with a bed of romaine lettuce. Add a light sprinkling of shredded cheese along with black beans and fresh salsa. Sprinkle with red peppers and a light serving of onions. The salsa can serve as your dressing but you can also add a touch of Thousand Island dressing or sour cream to give it extra flavor.
Salad bar ideas: Go Italian
To make this salad with a Mediterranean flair, start with a bed of romaine lettuce and arugula. Add fresh tomato slices, shredded carrots, and onions. Sprinkle with black olives and mozzarella and parmesan cheeses. If available, add a few anchovies. Top it off with a balsamic vinegar based dressing and extra virgin olive oil. Healthy and delicious!
There's no need to get bored eating at the salad bar. Instead of blindly adding ingredients to your container, plan a theme salad before you arrive and change the theme on a daily basis. Pretty soon you'll look forward to your daily trip to the salad bar.

This morning, after a particularly restful night of sleep – because Elliot slept from 12 until 6! – I was trying on outfits. The beauty of my workplace is that casual is acceptable. I.E. I can wear jeans and a nice shirt and almost be overdressed. So I'm trying on shirts and I realize that if I turn a bit sideways, and the light is right, you can see the outline of the nursing pads. And these are the thin ones, my friends. A mother's fashion really suffers if she chooses to breastfeed her child. Nursing bras aren't all that great, in my opinion, and the whole process, etc… is annoying. Luckily I ended up finding a decent top but I left my house ten minutes late.
One of the best gifts I got this Christmas was this CD. If you've read my "to know me" page, then you'd know why. This thing is great! Although, with my recent lack of sleep, putting this CD on equals instant Zzzzs.
But anyway, since today is a commenting day – :) – tell me: what was one of the best gifts you got this Christmas and why?

"The order for this new product is an encouraging example of technology
buys that we are beginning to see in the industry," said Ardy Johnson,
vice president of marketing at Rudolph. "While it is too early to forecast
a measurable market recovery, we are excited to report orders like this one
that are from market segments that have previously been at a standstill."
The Taiwan DRAM manufacturer has ordered the Explorer 'total solution
package' that includes the AXi940™ front side inspection module,
B30™ backside inspection module, E30™ edge inspection module, the
Discover® software package for inline defect analysis and data management,
and TrueADC™ software for inline automatic defect classification. Rudolph's
total solution not only can improve yields by performing high-speed automated
inspection on the frontside of the wafer, but also is able to quickly identify
edge and/or backside defects, such as cracks, chip-outs, delamination, residuals,
particles and flaking.
Scott Balak, Rudolph's all-surface inspection product manager adds, "Edge
bevel inspection, in particular, is becoming more important as we move through
45nm and beyond, and especially as immersion lithography has been introduced
into advanced manufacturing processes. Defects originating in non-exposure areas,
including streets, partial devices and the edge of the wafer, all have the potential
to create problems within the immersion environment. Edge-related processes,
such as edge bead removal, need to be monitored closely to control performance
and defectivity."
The Explorer Inspection Cluster is a modular approach to wafer inspection consisting
of one or more inspection modules for front, back and edge inspection. Sophisticated
queue management and the option of up to four load ports helps to ensure maximum
throughput and efficiency. The improved sensitivity of the edge and backside
modules permits the detection of defects down to one micron on patterned wafers.
Discover is an inline defect analysis and data management system designed to
seamlessly handle advanced macro frontside, edge and backside inspection results.
When the E30 and B30 modules are paired with the frontside module, correlation
of defect data from all surfaces provides faster more efficient response to
defectivity issues.

If there is anything naked people like, it's
pulling riding a train.
Austria's national railway announced last week that it will offer free rides to the first 2,008 men and women who sign up to get in the buck for a photo by Spencer Tunick.
Tunick is the guy who takes pictures of naked people. Really, that's it. That's his schtick. Naked people at the UN, naked people in a field before a Phish concert, naked people at a theater in Bruges. Yep if there is a place, then Tunick will photograph people naked at or in it.
That's the kind of genius that's only rivaled by pissing on a crucifix. But hell, it's nudity. And at least a couple of those chicks are likely to be cute.
The shoot is to take place May 11 at Ernst Happel Stadium, where the Euro 2008 final is scheduled to be held. Unfortunately UEFA screwed the only good joke—"Hey, it's the only way any Austrians will see the pitch at that stadium"—by scheduling every one of the home side's matches at the Vienna venue.
That's a pretty sweet travel schedule, although it probably won't help a team so bad that its own countrymen wanted them kicked out of the tournament.
But thanks to the merciful folks at UEFA 2,008 Austrians will get their chance to be part of art or soccer history. If nothing else it gives people a nice cocktail conversation piece. "Dude, I so hooked up with these two chicks last week."
"Big deal, I was part of a train with 2,007 other nekkid people."

Willow the Cute
About the Dogs
I'm completely incapable of not loving dogs. Yes, yes, cats have their own charms—they're snuggly (much of the time) and more dignified (unless they're hanging from the curtains). But I'm a dog person, and so most of my books have a dog in them, just because I think life without a dog is pretty lonely to contemplate.
FOOLS RUSH IN: Digger, Black lab mutt, utterly devoted to his owner. Fictional Digger enjoys dancing and Cheetos and running on the beach.
CATCH OF THE DAY: Colonel, noble and aging Golden Retriever. Enjoys lying on beds, rolling in dead things, peanut butter.
JUST ONE OF THE GUYS: Buttercup, half hound-dog, half bull mastiff. Enjoys men and belly rubs, frequent napping and pizza.
TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE: Dog: Angus McFangus, West Highland terrier. Enjoys eating trash, chasing raccoons, world domination.
THE NEXT BEST THING: Fat Mikey (Cat). Enjoys instilling fear into the hearts of mice, eating on the dining room table and snuggling with the upstairs neighbor.
ALL I EVER WANTED: Bowie, Husky mutt. Enjoys bacon and pulling Callie on her bike. Angie: purebred Irish Setter. Enjoys perfection
MY ONE AND ONLY: Coco, Chihuahua/Jack Russell. Enjoys manipulation and travel. Considering work as FBI profiler or chasing tennis balls at US Open.
UNTIL THERE WAS YOU: Dog: Shilo, Great Dane mutt. Enjoys sitting on laps and eating cheeseburgers. Not fond of UPS drivers. Cats: Meatball, Sagwa & Jellybean: Enjoy terrorizing dog and plotting evil as well as cuddling on chilly nights.
SOMEBODY TO LOVE: Beauty, English springer spaniel. Enjoys saltwater swims, flowers, children.
THE BEST MAN: Blue, a goofy Golden retriever with a crush on the hero's leg. Enjoys ratty tennis balls and snuggling.
THE PERFECT MATCH: Spike, a rescued Yorkshire terrier with a Napoleonic complex. Enjoys destruction and world domination.
WAITING ON YOU: Rufus, Irish wolfhound. Fears thunderstorms. Loves sitting on laps and Ben & Jerry's ice cream.

Verification has become the dominant cost in the design of
hardware, often accounting for up to 70% of total design costs.
One of the major challenges in the area is system-level
verification of Register Transfer Level (RTL) designs.
System-level verification involves proving theorems that capture
the correctness of system components as a whole, not just proving
isolated properties. To be practical, verification methods must
be directly applicable to actual designs, which are defined at
the register transfer level. This is a major challenge, which is
why previous work has focused on the verification of ad hoc,
highly abstracted designs.
In this talk, I will present several methods that we have
developed for automatically reasoning about RTL designs. This
- a sound and complete compositional reasoning framework based
on refinement,
- a new algorithm for solving quantifier-free formulas over the
extensional theory of fixed-size bit-vectors and fixed-size
bit-vector arrays (memories) that incorporates term-rewriting
techniques, and
- a new algorithm for converting Boolean circuits to conjunctive
normal form that gives an order of magnitude improvement in
verification times over previous work.
These algorithms have been implemented in BAT, the Bit-level
Analysis Tool. Using BAT we can prove that a 32-bit 5-stage
pipelined machine model refines its instruction set architecture
in less than 2 minutes. This is a significant improvement over
what was previously possible, as competing methods cannot handle
much simpler designs.
The verification technology we developed is generally applicable,
and I will briefly describe how it has been used to solve
problems in the areas of computational biology and large-scale,
component-based system design.
This is joint work with Sudarshan Srinivasan and Daron Vroon.
Pete's primary research interest is mechanized formal
verification and validation. What guides his research is the
vision that formal methods can be used to revolutionize the
design and implementation of highly reliable, robust, secure, and
scalable systems in a variety of important application areas.
Pete is an Assistant Professor in the College of Computing at the
Georgia Institute of Technology. He is also an Adjunct Assistant
Professor in the School of Electrical and Computer Engineering.
He has a B.S. and an M.A. in Computer Science from Brooklyn
College and a Ph.D. in Computer Sciences from the University of
Texas at Austin.

Stephen Starr, the city's leading creator of trend-setting restaurants, opened Pod, a futuristic Asian restaurant at the Inn at Penn in University City. A thrilling sensory experience, Pod offers extraordinary Asian-fusion cuisine prepared by Executive Chef Michael Schulson in super-chic, all-white surroundings. Some of the high-tech features include a conveyor belt sushi bar, unusual dining "pods," a foam sculpture for lounge seating and the latest video imagery. The ultra-modern design uses uncommon materials such as molded rubber, sculpted plastic and smooth finished resin. High-gloss white epoxy walls, a creamy white concrete floor and an acoustical foam ceiling add to the unconventional setting. The sleek white interior is contrasted by bold, bright colorful lighting, while the glass window exterior welcomes guests with six small screens that play fast paced Asian videos. The 90-seat main dining area features white acrylic tables, a 16-seat communal table and white foam chairs. Seven "pods" that seat two people are available for intimate dining. Three more private dining "pods" offer seating for parties of six, eight and 12 people. Each of these "pods" features white upholstered banquettes and walls with a wraparound slot window. Once inside, guests may choose from nine switches of different light colors to illuminate their "pod." The interactive, glowing "pods" create a visual delight for guests throughout the restaurant. A 44-seat pod-shaped dining area, which can also be used for private parties, is enclosed by a curtain of pink and clear plastic tubes. At the oval, 34-seat white sushi bar, a conveyor belt delivers fresh sushi directly from the kitchen. Above the sushi bar, a large, 60-inch screen shows non-stop video clips that include a full-range of action from the 1960's classic Speed Racer to people dining throughout the restaurant. The non-traditional bar-lounge area adds to the electrifying ambiance. A playful, Martian-red foam sculpture offers seating for up to 50 guests. A 14-seat bar features a translucent amber resin bar top, lit from beneath with white neon. Pod offers a superior sake selection, refreshing cocktails, an affordable wine list and imported Japanese sodas.

All weekend, there has been one Standard deck that, whenever I am looking to be entertained, I track down for some casual railbirding. Francesco Hugony had a slightly ropey time on day one in Standard, but pulled things out in draft to continue to Day 2. This was happy news for me, as it meant that I got to see more of his risky, risky infect deck in action. Eschewing black cards for red ones, this deck can explosively deal the full ten poison in one big swing, and uses red spells simply to burn a path. Check it out.
Main Deck
60 cards
The plan is simple: Attack with infect monster, pump it for lethal. There are some neat card choices in there for doing just that. The addition of Inkmoth Nexus is a real boon to the deck, as a hard to remove flyer, but even if the land has not been drawn, Canopy Cover does a fine job of making any infect creature very hard to deal with. This deck is capable of some of the most explosive turns around, and it seems that every time I walk past him, Hugony is busy casting a flurry of pump spells following a declaration of no blocks from his opponent. If you are looking for a fun build that is a little bit different, then you could do a lot worse than getting down with the sickness.

Our Stories
When I was living on the streets I met another homeless person who knew about HTB and he told me all about the drop-in. I started going to the Drop-in when it opened which I liked, it was a very peaceful place that brought healing to people's souls. I love to paint and spend most of my time at the drop-in painting. We have had 2 art exhibitions with art work from guests of the drop-in, I sold some of my painting at the exhibition. I went to the Night Shelter and they welcomed me very warmly. Now I come to church and I volunteer in the kitchen at the Drop-in, cooking lunch for people who have been through the same things as me. I enjoy being part of a group of people who I feel comfortable with – we have a lot in common.
I grew up in a big family. My Dad was a very broken man and took out his aggression on me from a young age. I left home as soon as I could and assumed a new identity to separate myself as much as possible from that life.
I had a few jobs and was working as a chef but when I lost that job, I then also lost my girlfriend and my flat. I was housed in a B&B in Peckham but was forced out of there and ended up homeless. I start sleeping rough for the first time. This was May 2006. It was terrifying. I would usually sleep on Bond Street in Westminster. People would come up to you in the middle of the night and abuse you. I never got into drink or drugs. I knew that if I started that I would get into a downward spiral and never get off the streets. You have to stay strong and hold onto hope.
In 2008 I heard about a new drop-in that opened at St. Paul's, Onslow Square so I went to check it out. It was great. There were lots of really friendly compassionate people who made me feel very welcome. At the time I was not a very nice person and these guys put up with a lot. I used to get in people's faces and I had a big problem with anger.
Through the drop-in I got some counselling and this helped me a great deal. I also started on the Recovery Course and both of these things helped to get control of my anger and become a much nicer person. I am now able to handle difficult situations much better. The staff at the drop-in helped me re-apply for housing and I have now moved into a flat and finally have my own place for the first time in 5 years!
I know that I have a long way to go but if you could have seen me just a few years ago you wouldn't have recognised me. I have changed a lot. I have for the first time been able to tell people that the last 30 years has been a lie and to talk to people about who I really am. When you live a lie you are always nervous that it will catch up with you. I don't have that anymore. I have peace instead.
When I came out of prison someone met me. From being met at the gate and being driven to a house where I had a roof, food and clothes provided for me. I didn't have to steal for food. That's a huge deal! All those things were done for me: helping with somewhere to live and also to find somewhere to work, but more so than that - helping me to find the direction.
I was deported from the US to London for offences I committed in America. Because I had left the UK when I was 4 years old I didn't know anything about it or anyone here. When I had been in prison in America I heard about Caring for Ex-Offenders and they had been writing to me, so when I arrived in London I did everything I could to find my way to HTB. When my post from America was forwarded to me it included the phone number for the Caring for Ex-Offenders team in London and so I called them and straight away went to meet them. They hooked me up with this lady who used to call me every day asking if I was ok. She'd take me out to lunch. I didn't have no money but the Caring for Ex-Offenders team at the church was there for me. When I first arrived in London I was staying in a hostel, but the team gave me letters to take to the housing benefit people, and I was put in a one bedroom flat. They also gave me a mentor, we met each week and he helped me practically with budgeting and appointments. I started volunteering in the William Wilberforce Trust projects- it was great cause it kept me busy and able to give back to the church. I wanted to work and got a job doing construction, but because I didn't understand the system properly I ended up in debt with my rent and council tax. The debt advice service helped me get back in control of my finances. Without all of this support I don't know where I would be now.
I was born in Tehran in Iran but tragedy hit us when I was eleven – my mum died of lung cancer aged 32. Then a year later my dad died of a heart attack aged 64. At that point I had to leave school to look after my brothers and sisters. I was trying to save a lot of money for my family, as when I was nineteen I would have to go into National Service. It was the 1980's when I entered the army, and a very bad time to be in the army because the Iran/Iraq war was happening. I ended up only doing 16 months of military service, as after my injuries I couldn't go back. I arrived in the UK twenty years ago in 1991. I lived in Liverpool for 18 years but ended up afraid and lonely there. When I got to London I started sleeping rough as I had nowhere else to go. I just lay down to sleep in the shopping centre. I had no idea what I was going to do. The next day I was told by some homeless people about St Paul's Onslow Square drop in. I went along and it was amazing. People were so friendly and welcoming. I couldn't believe how welcoming the people at St Paul's were, they're so friendly, like family, it was strange for me at first but after a few times I said 'No, no, this is not strange, these are real people, these are the people I have been looking for all these years. They told me about The Trust, and I started doing a computer course there at the World's End. I did an English course too. All of them are like family to me now, our friendship is so strong, I had never met these type of people before. I had bad depression, was feeling down 24 hours a day. My life has changed and my health is much better, before it was not good, but now everyone who sees me says it's very good. I'm working for the warehouse now as a driver, sometimes I'm cooking for different churches. We make Iranian food, which is popular with the homeless. I have made a community be here so all I can say is thank you God!

EUROPE/FRANCE - "With Therese, we too love peace": 5,000 children attend mission meetings in Lisieux
Lisieux (Agenzia Fides) – Once again this year some 5,600 secondary school pupils (aged 11-13) belonging to chaplaincies of the eight diocese of Ile de France, accompanied by almost 700 adults and animators, answered a call from the provincial Office for Missionary Cooperation to make a pilgrimage to Lisieux.
According to a report sent to Fides by the National Director of the Pontifical Mission Societies in France, Fr. Pierre-Yves Pecqueux, this annual pilgrimage consists of five large rallies, each presided by a different Bishop of the Ile de France region. This year the rallies, held from 19 May to 12 June, focused on the theme "With Therese, we too love peace", to encourage the young participants to become builders of peace in a world where the need for peace is so desperately acute. A different theme chosen every year aims to inspire the children to be real missionaries following the example of Saint Therese of Lisieux.
As in the past, this year's rallies were marked by joyful participation on the part of the young pilgrims. The pilgrimage includes a visit to places where Therese lived, meetings with missionaries who share their experience helping the children to recognise places of mission and broaden their horizons.
The annual pilgrimage to Lisieux is an opportunity for young people to share generously with others. There is a collection for a selected Missionary Childhood project. This year the proposed project will help less fortunate children in South Africa, Kenya, Senegal and Morocco.
These events are always a real opportunity to awaken children to the universal dimension of mission by helping them discover a certain country proposed by Missionary Childhood, and an opportunity for cultural enrichment based on cultural differences. This missionary event is also an opportunity to encounter Jesus Christ, following in the footsteps of the Little Flower, Saint Therese of Lisieux, patron saint of missions.

text: No recent wiki edits to this page. An interesting attempt by Peter Molyneux to produce a god-game coupled with a pet simulator like that found in the Tamagotchi series. As a deity figure, the player must manage to infect the hearts of the people, aid them in their struggle to master civilization, and rear their gigantic pet creature. Your creature changes its look depending on how the player encourages/punishes behavior, and the player has free reign to do what they want with their people.

The ads from two years ago were a disappointment. I didn't watch the Super Bowl last year (but will this year).
It's as if they're relying too much on low-level base impulses to sell. Those of us who aspire to operate on a higher level (even when we're watching a gladiator-like event such as this) just don't appreciate stuff designed to appeal to high school punks.
who cares? is this Trickle Down Media? not really the reason I subscribe to WSJ.
The advertisements are meant to sell to the typical viewer.
A "Panel of Experts" ?
Why not "a Panel of Typical Viewers"?
I kinda like the ber ads cause it kinda a insite to what the best drinkin beer is. Ya no what i meen. Tanks fur listining.... billy
Some ads do seem to go a bit far, and what's worse, they stray from showcasing their services. We are taking the grass-roots social media approach in our YouTube parody of a competitor's web hosting ad. We want to show that we know small businesses real needs...plus a sense of humor. What do you think: http://bit.ly/GoGranny
What is wrong with the world? Since when are the ads bigger than the game? http://sportales.com/football/superbowl-2011-forget-football-watch-the-ads/
do they go 'to' far...really?
Well, will the 3 women like the GoDaddy ad? I'm thinking not.
Go, Steelers!!!
There seems to be an inverse relationship between the perceived quality of the commercials and the quality of the game. During the (too frequent) games that are blowouts or coached way too conservatively, the next day the talk is all about the commercials. Contrast that with the Giants/Patriots, where the next day the talk was all about the game (and none of us at work could even remember the commercials).
Looking forward to panel observations and an opportunity to analyze, complain, and praise before tomorrow's morning shows!
who will the first ad be?
Better be better commercial
Cant wait to here what Olivia has to say
I wish we had great commercials all year and crappy ones on stupid bowl sunday The world would be a better place
Ps olivia you look better with long hair
Oh man I am so excited about seeing some analysis of the ads from celebrities. Wait, I said that wrong. I mean there are few things in this world I could care less about.
Too much glitz, not enough Blitz. Gave up watching football sandwiched between "entertainment" All super bowls should be in Minnesota,,,, outdoors

The Sammamish Little League has announced three recipients of this year's Brock O'Connor Memorial Scholarship. They are Corbin Powers, of Skyline High School; Garrett Hughes, of Liberty High School; and Justin Vernia, of Issaquah High School.
The league's scholarship committee awards a $1,000 scholarship each year to three graduating senior baseball players. The award recipients must have made a commitment to play baseball at the collegiate level, and demonstrated attributes that O'Connor did during his life.
O'Connor, a 1999 graduate of Issaquah, died at age 19 following an accident at his summer job. He played baseball for the Eagles and was well known in the community for his leadership and ability to motivate his peers and adults.
The Brock O'Connor Memorial Scholarship Fund was established in July 2000.

This LAPL staff member claims to stumble upon the great variety of books that they read which are mostly old and modern classics.
Call Number: Ed.b
This is historical fiction based on the exploits of the real Glanton Gang. They were a band of mercenaries hired by the Mexican government to exterminate Indians in the Texas-Mexico borderlands. This is arguably the most violent work of fiction out there. One does not have to wait long to be plunged into something like Dante's violent Inferno. However, the violence is not the sort of violence you find in a horror movie where everyone is dreadfully mutilated because the movie is trying to be as violent as possible. It is not gratuitous and/or redundant in the least, but feels more like something out of a war movie. IT IS horrible and can be off-putting, but definitely serves the purpose of the narrative. That said, there are other less disturbing wonders in this book. The West is vividly portrayed, as both magnificently grand and a wasteland like no other, and the prose is among the most beautiful and epic in all of American literature. It can be easy to overlook these virtues amidst the carnage, but once you become aware of them, the book congeals into a true masterpiece.
Call Number: 853 B664 1995
Seven Florentine women and three men flee to the countryside to escape the Black Death that was rampaging through Europe during the fourteenth century. In ten days they each tell a story a day, totaling a staggering one hundred tales. Like The Arabian Nights before it and The Canterbury Tales after, the tales are as diverse as can be. By turns brief, drawn out, tragic, comedic, insightful, crude, moralistic, inappropriate, exciting, uneventful, pious, or sacrilegious. There's something here for everyone and everything for one.

Depending on whom you talk to, Harold Bloom is either the greatest of modern critics, or a tired old relic of criticism. Apart from whatever one may think of him, his great love of literature is undeniable. Nowhere is that more evident than in this book where he lists a hundred of the greatest writers and simply speaks his mind about what makes each person a genius of literature. That love is infectious and if you share that love, I guarantee a good read.
Call Number: Ed.c
Horrors and sadness abound in this semi-autobiographical story as a man recounts his time in a Siberian prison. This has some similarity to the Dostoyevsky of the later great novels, but the narrator of this story is uncharacteristically detached. Philosophical, social and political questions, which are the core of his other novels, are conspicuously unimportant here, plus the episodic nature of the story reads more like a documentary than a work of fiction. This is not the usual Dostoyevsky, but it is still great Dostoyevsky.
Call Number: Ed.a
This book is part love story, part sword and sorcery, with a little bit of hunting tossed in, but always pure fantasy. The love is between a human prince, Alveric, and an Elf princess, Lizarel. They escape Elfland with Alveric carrying a sword of lightning that was forged by a witch. The two lovers have a son, Orion, who is raised by the witch. The young prince grows up to love hunting with his greatest prey being the unicorn. It is all tied together nicely in beautiful, dreamy prose that flows very much like poetry.
Call Number: 171 G783 2002
Grayling discusses everything from morality to trifles. The book is divided into 3 parts: Virtues and Attributes, ideas that usually help humanity; Foes and Fallacies, that which is often detrimental to us; and Amenities and Goods, which include more tangible ideas and less controversial discussions. No one will agree with Grayling one hundred percent of the time, and I doubt he would be happy if anyone did.
Call Number: 823 B942 1981a
This book is one of the best allegories ever written. The first part is the story of Christian leaving his home and family (they decide to stay behind) in the City of Destruction to reach the Celestial City or "Heaven". On his way, he battles Apollyon and crosses the Valley of the Shadow of Death as well as other physical manifestations of the obstacles Christians face in life. The second part deals with Christian's family making a similar journey, although they have to conquer their own obstacles on the way to the Celestial City, such as the four giants and the Ill-favored Ones. Though obviously written for a Christian audience, anyone willing to give it a chance will find that like other "Christian works", Paradise Lost and The Divine Comedy, this is much more approachable. The Pilgrim's Progress can be enjoyed by anyone, and it is a fantastic tale of good overcoming evil and the striving that ultimately saves man's soul.

This is the novel that first brought Goethe literary fame, and it reportedly influenced many lovelorn youth to commit suicide. The book was often found in their pockets when their bodies were pulled out of the river. The story unfolds through letters that Werther sends to his friend Wilhelm. In the letters he tells how he has fallen madly in love with a girl name Lotte, who is engaged to a much older man. This may sound like your typical tale of tragic star-crossed lovers who can't be together, but it's not. Lotte does not feel for Werther, at least not to the same extent he does for her. The tragedy here is of the kind that may only be understood by those who have experienced desperate and passionate love.
Call Number: Ed.a
This is a tale of first-time love. The setting is a remote island village in Japan where the young couple must overcome the usual obstacles of social status and town gossip. This is a rather conventional tale, but it is Mishima's telling of it with simple honesty that never over-dramatizes the tribulations of the young couple. This book is for those in search of an old fashioned tale of first love conquering all odds, written with just the right mixture of realism and romance.

Choral Music Lithuania
Sunday, July 8, 2012 at 10:15 (a.m.)
In 1990's the state and development of Lithuanian choral culture is determined by the restoration of Lithuanian independence. Progress of Lithuanian choral culture and its international recognition inspires composers to new endeavors'. The composers closely collaborate with the leaders of internationally recognized choirs, the choirs taking part in international competitions commission new works, Lithuanian music circulates in the world. Global and political changes or their presentiment make impact on development of Lithuanian choral culture. Opening of iron curtain and more accessible information on international choral music culture awakens artistic ambitions of Lithuanian composers, conductors and singers.

For those of you with kids in daycare, is it home-care or a center? I met with a home care provider this morning, and she told me that I had to pay the same amount every week, even during the two weeks a year she takes vacation. That doesn't seem right to me, since I'm going to have to pay back up care those weeks. Is that standard practice?
What tips would you give for finding home care? I go back to work soon, so I need to get this locked down. Thanks!

Living a healthy lifestyle in college can be challenging. However, to some students, the Student Fitness Center is practically a second home.
While staying fit is important, these gym rats may not realize that there is such a thing as overdoing it when it comes to keeping one's body in shape.
Over-exercising may have more detrimental effects on the body than one might think.
Dr. Victoria Brockhouse, assistant medical director at Student Health Services, considers more than four hours of exercise per week an unhealthy amount.
She explains why a period of recovery is necessary after exercising and how an extreme amount of exercise can cause stress on the body.
"You can raise the hormone known as cortisol, which can stop testosterone from doing its part to build muscle. Your metabolism may decrease as a way for your body to conserve energy and in extreme cases, women can stop menstruation," Brockhouse said.
Fitness may be used by some to stay healthy, but others use it as a tool to lose or maintain weight. Brockhouse says there is no specific amount of exercise that is right for everybody.
"How much exercise depends on a person's condition when starting a program. For young, healthy college students, 2.5-3.5 hours a week would be ideal," Brockhouse said.
Being overly cautious of one's nutritional intake can be harmful as well. Lynne Frichtl, a registered dietitian at Student Health Services, says there is a term for those who eat too consciously.
"A person that has an obsession with healthy or righteous eating may be suffering from othorexia," said Frichtl.
She explained that although orthorexia is not considered an official eating disorder, the National Eating Disorders Association is considered with its dangerous effects.
Eating nutritiously should be a priority for all students, regardless of age, weight or other health concerns. However, an occasional indulgence will never affect overall health.
One candy bar will not add five pounds to the scale or make eating that salad for dinner "not even worth it." Giving into cravings once in a while is important to avoid binge eating.
Extreme dieting is often seen in college, especially as a way to shed weight-gain from excessive alcohol and fast food consumption.
"I don't believe in dieting," Frichtl said.
"When people go on a diet, all they can think about is eating and this may lead to failure. Developing healthy eating habits most of the time and allowing yourself an occasional treat is a good start."
Exercising and eating healthy foods are recommended, but when these habits become obsessions, they can be detrimental to the lives of even the most health-conscious people.

Digital TV's Hollywood Showdown
Hollywood's push for restrive DRM technologies may have hit a snag, after judges questioned the logic of allowing content creators to dictate manufacturing standards.
This week, the public got a glimpse of the future of television.
On February 22, the District of Columbia Circuit for the U.S. Court of Appeals heard arguments in a lawsuit that seeks to stop the FCC-mandated broadcast flag technology from entering the marketplace on July 1, 2005.
The suit – brought by Public Knowledge, a digital rights advocacy group, the American Library Association, the Association of Research Libraries, the Electronic Frontier Foundation and the Medical Library Association – is part of a battle that is a year and a half in the making.
In November 2003, the FCC, under pressure from content owners such as the television networks and cable channels, declared that all consumer electronics devices sold after July 1, 2005 that could receive television signals would have to be able to read broadcast flags – a piece of code embedded in a digital television stream that would restrict how consumers could move their media
The mandate came after content owners voiced their concerns about the potential piracy that would come when television networks switched to digital streams, which they argued would be much easier to copy and swap across the Internet.
The digital rights consortium is arguing that the FCC is overstepping its bounds, in essence dictating consumer electronic product design without first receiving Congressional approval to do so, which is normally required in an effort this sweeping.
After the long, protracted battle leading up to the court case, the plaintiffs appears to catch a break when two of the three judges spoke out against adding a broadcast flag. "Are washing machines next," asks Judge Harry Edwards, according to multiple reports from inside the courtroom.
Edwards's concern is shared by the plaintiffs and many other technology observers. If the FCC can mandate the use and implementation of this technology by fiat, the concern is thatHollywood or other entities could apply enough pressure to consumer electronics manufactures and begin to dictate product designs to a host of categories such as cell phones, video game consoles, and others.
"We're very encouraged," says Wendy Seltzer, an EFF attorney, speaking about the judges reaction in the court.
The broadcast flag issue has made strange bedfellows of the technology industry and the government. Typically, consumer electronics manufactures balk at any government effort to dictate design.
In this instance, the companies are in a bind – or at least they were when the initial plans were drafted in 2003.
Consumer electronics companies need the television content in order to sell the digital televisions and ancillary products and many content owners have threatened to not offer digital streams if the flag is not passed.
As such, the Consumer Electronics Association, a lobbying group for the industry, has come down in favor of the flag, alongside representatives of the content industry such as the Motion Picture Association of America
One source, who requested anonymity because of business relationships with the content owners, says their threats to not offer digital content is spurious now that digital sets have entered the marketplace and some digital programming is already available to the public.
"Are you kidding me," says the executive. "They have no recourse. The cat's out of the bag. Analog TVs are going away, regardless of what content owners want. No one's launching analog TV factories in Mexico these days."

Freedom declined in one-fifth of the world's countries in 2007, the New York City-based non-governmental organization said.
Liberty's reversal was "most pronounced" in South Asia, but also covered a wide swath of the Earth, including nations of the Middle East, North and sub-Saharan Africa, and the former Soviet Union.
Freedom House said the environment of human rights and liberty in countries it had previously rated as Not Free grew worse among some important powers, such as Russia, Pakistan, Kenya, Egypt, Nigeria, and Venezuela.
The full report, Freedom in the World 2008 is available here.
There was little change in the actual numbers of countries designated Free, Partly Free, or Not Free. What changed, Freedom House said, was the climate of liberty inside the broad categories. "Nearly four times as many countries showed declines during the year as registered improvement," the organization said.
In Egypt and Pakistan, for instance, authoritarian regimes stepped up efforts to suppress independent media, democratic opposition, and civil society in general.
And "group of market-oriented autocracies and energy-rich dictatorships" -- Russia, Iran, Venezuela, and China -- carried out "assaults" on freedom of association during the year, Freedom House said.
"This year's results show a profoundly disturbing deterioration of freedom worldwide," Arch Puddington, Freedom House's director of research, said in a statement. "A number of countries that had previously shown progress toward democracy have regressed, while none of the most influential Not Free states showed signs of improvement. As the second consecutive year that the survey has registered a global decline in political rights and civil liberties, friends of freedom worldwide have real cause for concern."
Among the most worrying signs, Freedom House said, were reversals of freedom in nations that had been making progress. In Asia, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, and the Philippines all saw declines in their ratings. It said "the deterioration within Nigeria and Kenya, two of Africa's most important countries, should be of great concern for those who had hoped that the incremental gains of recent years would continue."
Freedom House Executive Director Jennifer Windsor said authoritarian regimes have been using their influence to slow the advance of freedom, while "democratic governments have not worked together effectively to counter these trends."
Overall, Freedom House said, the number of countries considered Free in 2007 stood unchanged at 90, representing 46% of the global population.
The number of Partly Free countries increased to 60, or 18% of the world population, with the move of Thailand and Togo from the Not Free category.
In 2007, Freedom House said, 36% of the world's population lived in the 43 countries it deems Not Free.
North America and, "with a few exceptions," Western Europe received the highest ratings on the Freedom House index.
"However, the flawed response to an upsurge in immigration in Europe and the U.S. has revealed potentially serious imperfections in these countries' democratic systems, especially in Western Europe," the NGO said. "Furthermore, they continued to grapple with problems posed by the continued threat of Islamic terrorism."
The United States was rated 1 on a 1 to 7 scale, with one being the most free.

2014 Shakespeare Lecture
On Wednesday, Sept. 24th at 5 pm in Baker Center Theater, Dr. Bart van Es from St. Catherine's College, Oxford will deliver a lecture titled "1594: Shakespeare's Most Important Year." At the start of 1594 Shakespeare was still an onlooker to the Elizabethan theatre industry, but by its close he had moved to a unique position at its heart. In this lecture Bart van Es explores the consequences of Shakespeare's decision that year to become a sharer in the Chamberlain's acting company. This decision, he argues, changed the playwright's art forever and would prove the most important of his life.
All members of the Ohio University community and the public are welcome to attend. A reception, to be held in the Baker Center lounge, will follow the lecture.
