im glad big buff and wiz are scratches
Can we please trade Barker... he's terrible... I want Wiz back! OK with Buff being out though
ur an idiot.... wtf is wrong with you?
this is f***ing horse S**T, there is no signal, so i cant watch the game. comcast has way to many technical difficulties, they need to fix their **** soon.
When Kris Versteeg gives blood he declines the needle and asks for a handgun and a bucket.

hawks win!!!
from the game i saw they looked like hell
but a win is a win
When Kris Versteeg gives blood he declines the needle and asks for a handgun and a bucket.
It wasn't pretty but i'll take it.
D men made a lot of sloppy passes tonight, even Campbell and Keith. I hate to say it since I'm a Huet fan, but I think it's time for Khabi to get the number 1 spot.
Well, at the end of the year it is still two points in the books. Not the Blackhawks best game tonight though.
I can't take it anymore in the faceoff circle. I think the Thrashers won 34 faceoffs to the Blackhawks 16. BAD. We need a second line center BAD. I can't take it anymore, this is going to cost us games, there is no doubt about it.
Khabibulin...great comeback from the last game. He needed this game and the Blackhawks did. Khabibulin made some great saves tonight and was on his game.
Byfuglien and Wiz being scratches surprised me. More so Wiz than Byfuglien, who has been struggling as of late. I think Wiz brings something to the table that no other defenseman brings. Wiz has a heavy shot and stands guys up at the blueline. Should be interesting when they both come back.
Cameron Barker. I still can't stand to watch him 5 on 5, because he is slow and turns the puck over, but like I said earlier, he should play about 8 minutes of 5 on 5 and 8 minutes of powerplay each night. Barker, in my eyes, will never be a top 4 dman but he has a heavy shot and when given time (like on the powerplay) I think he is very beneficial to a team, especially a playoff team. Good to see him pick up 2 assists on the powerplay.
Finally, this is why you don't sit your top players ladies and gentleman. Sharp got us going and Toews got the game winner. These guys are professionals and can take the game over, you don't sit them purposely.
Let's finish the road trip strong and take it from there
talk about taking over a game boom.... holy hell kovalchuk!!
ive always known this guy was great, but WOW! He is unreal. I wonder how far malkin would be behind kovalchuk in points if he was on a team that actually had help around him.
Oh if Kovluchuck was even on a mediocre team he wouldbe considered one of the faces of the league. Poor guy getting stuckin Atlanta like that. Such a hockey black hole with such a bright star getting sucked riht down it. No wonder the wolves stay good, Atlanta's draft picks are laways near the top. Fortunatly for he icehogs they arn't what they were last year.

Excellent complimentary breakfast!!
November 23, 2015
The complimentary breakfast was exemplary. The hotel was very quiet, even with a room close to the elevators.
The staff is competent and professional. I would definitely return.

Very well done the staff is always friendly, the food is always good the room is always clean.
Front desk staff were very friendly and helpful with all my questions
November 11, 2015
Stayed here for an annual Christmas shopping trip. The two bedroom suite was very comfortable. Stayed 4 nights, so it was nice having a separate sitting area and a full size fridge to keep our beverages. Even though we did not use the kitchen, it was nice to know that we could have prepared a meal if we so desired.
My only complaint was that the social evenings offered very little compared to other hotels we have stayed at. For example hotdog night was only hotdogs and salad nothing else. It would have been nice to have a soup or chilli to go along with that.
Breakfast was not very hot and had to ask each morning to replenish items. Besides that the variety for the breakfast was great!
Feels like home away from home.
November 10, 2015
Great value for the money paid at this hotel. I had a studio room which feels more like a small apartment. Because I was there during the middle of business week, a nice way to relax after work was the evening social from 530pm to 730pm with super deluxe high quality buffet snacks. The morning breakfast buffet was fine too. There is a laundry facility which I used at no extra charge. Detergent not included but can be purchase at the front desk.
Car parking is available but I did not rent a car. I was suppose to stay at a hotel in downtown Toronto but it was above my company's per diem limit for similar quality hotel. I took the GO train to Bronte GO station and walk about a mile to this hotel. An easy and relax walk. Bus is available frequently from this train station to/from this hotel.

Meyer to be next coach at Ohio State
Posted by Chip Patterson
UPDATE: CBSSports.com's Dennis Dodd confirms that Urban Meyer will be the next football coach at Ohio State, ending weeks of speculation about his future and the Buckeyes' coaching position.
The Columbus Dispatch is reporting that a football-related news conference is scheduled for 5:15 p.m. ET.
Weeks of speculation and denial have reportedly come to an end, and Urban Meyer officially will be the next coach at Ohio State.
Meyer's agent reportedly confirmed to ESPN on Monday morning the former Florida Gators coach had accepted the Ohio State coaching job, the first official confirmation after reports from local throughout last week were vehemently denied.
CBSSports.com's Dennis Dodd confirmed that was no official deal in place as of last Wednesday. It makes sense that Ohio State would not move forward crossing "t's" and dotting "i's" until the Buckeyes wrapped up their regular season. Ohio State fell to Michigan 40-34 on Saturday in the Big House, their first loss in the last seven years of the rivalry.
The Cleveland Plain-Dealer reports that interim head coach Luke Fickell will have the opportunity to remain on staff, but the former defensive coordinator may choose to pursue other opportunities. Assistance coach Stan Drayton, a former Meyer colleague, is also expected to have the opportunity to stay in Columbus.
This is Meyer's second return from retirement. The former Gators coach retired then immediately returned in 2009, before retiring for good in 2010. Citing health and family reasons, Meyer decided to take some time away from coaching and has spent the last year serving as an analyst for ESPN. Ohio State is bowl eligible, though the Buckeyes will not be officially extended an invitation until after the Big Ten Championship Game on Saturday.

Report: Cecil Newton admits to soliciting payment
Posted by Adam Jacobi
Is the conclusion of the Cam Newton saga coming into focus? While it's still too early to say with absolute certainty whether Newton will even be playing for Auburn tomorrow, much less at any point for the rest of the season, the actual nature of his misdeeds -- which are, at this point, purely alleged and based solely on the statements of a handful of Mississippi State-affiliated men -- seems to be less of a mystery today than it was earlier this week.
According to Channel 2 Action News in Atlanta, Cecil Newton has reportedly admitted to soliciting money from Mississippi State. Cecil Newton's alleged admission -- which comes without so much as a direct quote from Newton -- is apparently worded in a fashion that attempts to absolve all other parties of blame:
This isn't much of a new revelation in and of itself; yesterday, ESPN's Joe Schad reported that the Newtons admitted to soliciting money. The distinction here is that this is an admission to a news organization instead of the accusing party; it's one thing for an MSU source to say the Newtons made these statements to him, and quite another for a reporter to say the same. Moreover, this report comes from a new news organization, meaning the story is gaining traction. That doesn't make it true, necessarily, but it certainly lends it a higher air of plausibility.
The problem that Cam Newton faces is that his father's reported admission, while certainly nice-sounding, might not preserve Cam's eligibility; Mississippi State was led to believe that it would need to pay for Cam to play there. That in and of itself is an NCAA violation. And yet, as Alabama-based attorney Donald Jackson notes, the NCAA hasn't yet felt the need to take the relatively routine step of "strong-arming" Newton off the field:
So will Newton be playing Saturday? It's easily possible. Auburn has known about this potential issue since January and seems to be committed to riding Newton all the way through the season; the only thing that has definitively changed between then and now is public opinion, and that's not usually a metric by which a football coach guides the management of his team. Being that even SEC chairman Mike Slive is reminding people that Newton's status for Saturday is Auburn's decision, it's probable that unless Auburn has additional information that hasn't been made public (and considering the fact that ESPN has been getting information more readily than the SEC, that doesn't seem particularly likely), we should probably see Newton on the field on Saturday.

Auburn on Cam Newton's eligiblity: 'No comment'
Posted by Adam Jacobi
In light of Kenny Rogers' comments yesterday, it certainly seems as if Cam Newton 's eligibility could be in question. After all, Rogers directly implicates Cam's father Cecil Newton in a plot to secure payment from Mississippi State for Cam's recruitment, and that is itself a major NCAA violation regardless of whether any money changed hands.
It's important to note, however, that Newton has not been declared ineligible by anybody, nor has the NCAA publicly recommended that Newton sit until the end of the investigation -- as North Carolina did with its 13 players and as Georgia did with A.J. Green -- to begin the season. The one change in the situation, however, is that Auburn is now refusing to comment on whether Newton's going to play this week.
Of course, if Auburn is still planning on playing Newton for the rest of the season, as Gene Chizik had insisted earlier in the week, it might not be in the Tigers' best interests to maintain that stance. After all, the more uncertainty Georgia has about Newton's status, the more Mark Richt has to prepare his team for Newton's backup, likely sophomore Barrett Trotter.
And yet, Auburn runs a serious risk of incurring more NCAA wrath than necessary if it continues to play Cam Newton in the face of major allegations. It's one thing for the Tigers to maintain no role in funneling money to Cecil Newton or his church, and that may very well end up being the case. But if the school is aware of allegations of severe misconduct by people connected to one of its players and lets that player be on the field anyway, it won't have much of a case for leniency if the NCAA concludes the allegations were legitimate. That's the type of hubris that can cost a school wins, bowl eligibility, and scholarships -- not to mention cost a head coach his job.

Why doesn't SEC know about Newton calls?
Posted by Adam Jacobi
Last night, the latest bombshell dropped on the Cam Newton ordeal was that Mississippi State recruiters had been specifically told by Newton and his father, Cecil Newton , that money had played a pivotal role in Newton's recruitment to Auburn over MSU. On its face, the charge is damning; if evidence exists of Newton and his father leading MSU to believe that it would need to pay money to recruit him, that's a serious problem, and the NCAA would need to know that immediately.
Except... here's the thing. Mississippi State acknowledged just today that it let the SEC know of the Cam Newton recruiting situation in January. That was 10 months ago. And yet, 10 months after that fact, here's what an SEC spokesperson said today :
Okay, great, but those exact conversations were reported on a major media outlet when they were reported on ESPN last night. So here's what we're hoping someone at Mississippi State can answer: why is ESPN learning about incriminating conversations before the SEC?
If a school has knowledge and evidence of serious wrongdoing in recruiting, as we've all been led to believe Mississippi State has against Auburn, it is incumbent upon that school to divulge as much of that information as possible to the appropriate authorities. And indeed, Mississippi State has been on the offensive as far as representing itself as a responsible steward of the SEC's rules, reportedly declining to pay the Newton family any money and reporting the incident to the appropriate authorities .
And yet, it defies immediate logic that MSU could be this proactive in enforcing the SEC's rules and yet neglect to mention this, the most obvious and egregious flaunting of the of SEC's rules among what MSU has reported so far. Why?

Report: Cam Newton, father pressured MSU for cash
Posted by Adam Jacobi
More Mississippi State sources have come forward with information against Auburn quarterback Cam Newton, telling ESPN today that the Newton family admitted to receiving money from Auburn recruiters in phone conversations last year:
Obviously, the NCAA is going to want to hear more about this, and the days of Auburn being able to proudly claim that its football program is not a target of any NCAA investigation are probably close to an end.
It's worth pointing out, though, that this report in and of itself doesn't constitute enough to jeopardize Newton's eligibility today; it's simple hearsay more than anything else. Furthermore, since this new allegation is that the Newtons accepted money (and not that Auburn merely offered it), the NCAA is going to have to actually find some of this money (which sounds easy enough, considering the Newtons were asking for $200,000, but you never know what a, um, "creative" accountant can accomplish) before it doles out any punishment.
When reached for comment, Cecil Newton had little to tell Fox Sports.
"I'm not going to confirm nor deny nothing that has been taking place," Newton told Thayer Evans of Fox Sports. "I've answered what I need to answer. If they're out there, go with it and make the decision or determination based on whatever you've got to say."
Mississippi State head coach Dan Mullen may have denied the earlier reports that he was behind the allegations of academic misconduct by Newton, but considering MSU's heavy involvement with these two other reports, it's easy to wonder whether there's any point in Mullen keeping any distance from this scandal anymore. This is clearly the Bulldogs' fight right now, so they might as well be honest about it.
Moreover, if the academic allegations did come from Mullen (which would make sense, considering his position at Florida while Newton was there), then this is three-for-three on Cam Newton allegations that have come from Mississippi State ... and haven't been proven yet. That's not to say they can't or won't be proven true -- time will tell on that front -- but these reports aren't coming from the NCAA, they're just Mississippi State airing dirty laundry. Remember how true the academic allegations sounded when the report first hit? Those don't seem quite as credible now that AuburnSports.com has its own sources saying Newton was never involved in the Florida Student Conduct Committee for any reason. It would be wise to at least keep that track record in mind going forward until more definitive evidence arises.

I own an "ALPA 10D" and wear eyeglasses.
I wear my glasses when I am photographing. Unfortunately, like most eyeglass wearers, I cannot see the entire image area.
However, I recently discovered that ALPA made a special ocular eyepiece with a 1:0,7 magnification for people that wear eyeglasses or have recessed eyes. This eyepiece, with its reduced magnification, allows eyeglass wearers to see the entire image area.
This special ocular eyepiece is not a "diopter". It replaces the original 1:1 ocular that comes standard with the camera.
I could really use some help finding this "ALPA special ocular 1:0,7 eyepiece".
I have attached an image of the page on the ALPA 10D manual that discusses the "special eyepiece".
Thank you all in advance.

WALL — NJR Clean Energy Ventures will invest $42 million in a wind farm located on 1,000 acres of rural farmland in Carroll County, Iowa about 65 miles outside of Des Moines, the company said Wednesday.
NJR Clean Energy Ventures, an unregulated distributed power subsidiary of Wall-based New Jersey Resources, will construct, own and operate the wind farm, the companys second onshore wind project.
The company has agreed to acquire the project, which will generate 20 megawatts of power when its complete, from OwnEnergy Inc., a developer of midsize and community wind projects. The electricity will be sold to MidAmerican Energy, a utility serving customers in Iowa, Illinois and South Dakota.
The Carroll Area wind farm project is part of the companys strategic plan, said Laurence M. Downes, chairman and chief executive officer of New Jersey Resources.
As renewable energy becomes an increasingly larger and important part of our nations energy future, we will continue to identify investment opportunities that strengthen our distributed power portfolio, reduce our reliance on investment tax credits from solar investments, benefit our company and shareowners and are consistent with our core values of quality service and environmental stewardship, Downes said in a statement.

|Drive-through medicine: a novel proposal for rapid evaluation of patients during an influenza pandemic.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 20079956 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE
|STUDY OBJECTIVE: During a pandemic, emergency departments (EDs) may be overwhelmed by an increase in patient visits and will foster an environment in which cross-infection can occur. We developed and tested a novel drive-through model to rapidly evaluate patients while they remain in or adjacent to their vehicles. The patient's automobile would provide a social distancing strategy to mitigate the person-to-person spread of infectious diseases. METHODS: We conducted a full-scale exercise to test the feasibility of a drive-through influenza clinic and measure throughput times of simulated patients and carbon monoxide levels of staff. We also assessed the disposition decisions of the physicians who participated in the exercise. Charts of 38 patients with influenza-like illness who were treated in the Stanford Hospital ED during the initial H1N1 outbreak in April 2009 were used to create 38 patient scenarios for the drive-through influenza clinic. RESULTS: The total median length of stay was 26 minutes. During the exercise, physicians were able to identify those patients who were admitted and discharged during the real ED visit with 100% accuracy (95% confidence interval 91% to 100%). There were no significant increases of carboxyhemoglobin in participants tested. CONCLUSION: The drive-through model is a feasible alternative to a traditional walk-in ED or clinic and is associated with rapid throughput times. It provides a social distancing strategy, using the patient's vehicle as an isolation compartment to mitigate person-to-person spread of infectious diseases.

More lightweight nonsense from WSJ. What is the point of this article other than fulfilling your word count for the day?
I would not want to know about my genes, faulty or otherwise. Have enough to worry about already!
The importance of knowing the possible cause of a disease or problem is very important to avoid "blindly" treating the effect as occurs all too aften with dementias..and other disorders i.e., treating all patients as if they have AHD when there are other causes. It is a complex question of what to know but knowledge of cause when properly applied is more beneficial than blindly treating the "effect or appearance".
As an Alzheimer's sufferer with a science and engineering background I would like to examine my entire genome for specific mutations that crop up in the current research on AD. The Alzheimer Research Forum constantly reports details of research that identifies suspected involvement of various genes in Alzheimer's disease. To be able to refer to my genome in full detail would give more insight in to what research is likely to someday bear fruit and make a difference to those of us that have AD. The fact that there are no treatments to slow down or cure the disease does not deter me from wanting to understand all I can about the disease.
For those of us that were adopted at birth, knowing these things, maybe very helpful, especially since I have children, whom 1 son has a daughter. No medical information can I provide my son with, due to my being adopted. It sure beat the other option.............. abortion! Although, back in 1954 it was neither safe or legal,
otherwise I wouldn't even be here
Anyone can get checked already now. Not via sequencing but using SNP chip. It will give you some idea about your risks, however one needs to be very cautious about the results because they are based on statistics that are sometimes reliable and sometimes not so much, so one should not panic when his risk of a certain disease is 4x higher than average - especially when average is say 0.1 %.
Just google 23andMe
i'd like to repress certain bloodlines in me. I hope this become possible in time for me to procreate.

TAMPA, Fla. -- An Air Force Reserve lieutenant colonel who works with U.S. Central Command in Tampa as a civilian has been arrested in Orlando.
The Tampa Tribune reports that Stephen Governale was arrested Friday and charged with using the Internet to try and persuade a 17-year-old to have sex. In a federal complaint, the teen told investigators he traveled with Governale on two occasions and engaged in sexual acts with him.
The 49-year-old Governale was arrested by the FBI after he arrived at a fast-food restaurant where he planned to meet the teen after several sexually explicit Facebook chats.
Governale, who has been appointed a federal public defender, is in custody at the Seminole County Jail with no bail. It is unclear whether he has retained an attorney.

Season TWO OFFICIAL TNG Blu-Ray Discussion Thread

Buying S2 in its current state simply sends the message to CBS that this level of quality is all it takes to get your money. But that aside...
Let's assume that we get what I think we can unanimously agree we ALL want, which is for CBS to learn its lesson from this situation and for future seasons to be up to the level of S1. So down the road (2014 or so) CBS has 6 great-looking seasons and one mediocre (at best) season to sell (on home video but also streaming and TV syndication). If (as I contend) the incremental costs involved in correcting S2's flaws are relatively small (but not to say trivial) given the scope of the entire project, before wrapping the entire TNG-R project and moving on to, say, DS9, why wouldn't CBS revisit S2 to bring it up to the level of the other seasons? Sure they don't
to, but they get good PR and they'll sell you another box.
Sure I'd rather have a corrected S2 now rather than later, but I only want to buy S2 once -- when it's done right.
I can only point to industry precedent; Fox remastered the Patton BD to a much smaller market four years later when the initial release got mostly
reviews (the outcry over excessive DNR came some months/years later). Here we have a higher-profile release, with a long buildup of criticism of the PQ leading up to mostly mixed first-hand reviews.
IMO we should be calling for a re-remaster of S2 sooner rather than later (owing to short attention spans in the biz), rather than giving CBS a mulligan for S2. Everyone votes with their wallet; just think about the message you're sending.
realistically I dont see the re-remaster happening, even though business case might be there (less sales for fixed box, but also significantly less cost to invest).
i'm on the fence about cancelling my pre-order too, but OTOH, it is going to be better than DVD, despite it appears to be significantly inferior to S1.
If they really watch these forums, I hope they have learned from their mistake and now see that while medicore quality might sell a few boxes too, the general fandom tastes can be spoiled easily.

You gotta' love these guys.
Hit-making duo Macklemore and Ryan Lewis recently surprised NYC bus riders with an impromptu free concert of their chart-topping song "Can't Hold Us." The whole thing was captured in a promotional video for this month's 2014 Grammy Awards.
In the vid, a bus pulls over to a bus stop before a hooded Macklemore and Lewis board the bus and take their seats. Lewis then holds up a boom box and starts playing the "Can't Hold Us" music.
Macklemore then stands up and takes of his hood before busting out the song's rap.
The bus riders flash smiles when they realize what's happening. Some start clapping to the song while others record the performance on their phones. By the end of the clip, all of the bus riders are standing on their feet, dancing and rocking out to the hip-hop jam. Even the bus driver is clapping!
When the performance is over, everyone claps and cheers before the duo exit the bus. Too fun!
Macklemore and Ryan Lewis will also hit the stage to perform during the Grammys on Jan. 26.

The Voyage, a rollercoaster at Holiday World, achieves 67.4 mph.
Hidden subplots. Deceptive tactics. Family subterfuge. The latest allegations in the family battle over Holiday World & Splashin' Safari are making the case itself an ever-wilder ride.
Legal briefs piling up in state appeals court suggest that the Koch family's feud over ownership of the popular Southern Indiana amusement park is far from over nearly three years after it began.
The new filings raise accusations that one Koch family member is silently bankrolling a party in the case and that hundreds of thousands of dollars in Holiday World income was diverted by a suing family member. ...

Lancôme Elite Rewards provides multichannel engagement and gives points for sharing on social media.
This week marks the launch of Lancôme Elite Rewards, one of the first loyalty programs in the discount-averse luxury cosmetics category. And social media participation is as important as purchases for this program.
Behind the luxe look are hardcore customer relationship management (CRM) goals, according to Alessio Rossi, vice president, Lancôme digital marketing.
"We're pushing harder on customer acquisition and retention," he says. "We thought we could not achieve it with anything else. Lancôme has been very innovative and is an extremely data-driven company, but we saw a limit with traditional CRM."
Of course, acquisition and retention are based on consumer engagement, so Lancôme Elite Rewards will leverage what Rossi says is a deep well of content that's already available on different channels to increase engagement with the brand. The program will allow the brand to analyze which content is most engaging.
To create and produce Lancôme Elite Rewards, the brand worked with Olson 1To1, the loyalty division of digital and ad agency Olson, as well as CrowdTwist, which provides the platform. "They were able to add onto a traditional loyalty program the engagement component," he says.
While Lancôme Elite Rewards hasn't been promoted yet, Rossi says that registration has been overwhelming in the 10 days of its soft launch. The brand will include information about the loyalty program in all its existing touch points and there may be a dedicated media program to boost acquisition.
Customers can join the program at no charge and begin to rack up points not only by buying products, but also by connecting and interacting with Lancôme USA through social media. In fact, consumers get more points for social media than for shopping. For example, Lancôme Elite Rewards members earn 10 points per dollar spent; they earn up to 25 points for sharing products on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter; and they can earn up to 50 points when they connect with the brand on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and Foursquare. Points also accrue when program members watch makeup tutorials on Lancome.com or check in at events via Foursquare.
Does this mean that Lancôme actually knows how much a like is worth? Maybe. The L'Oreal-owned brand sifted through seven years of customer data, analyzed in different ways, to try to determine the value of interaction at every customer touch point, a process Rossi says was both challenging and eye-opening. "Brands tend to look into how can I monetize this today. Instead, it's about building a relationship with a human being. You don't do it overnight. We had to take a longer horizon," he says.
Each member gets an online dashboard on Lancôme's U.S. website to track and manage points. They can redeem their points by choosing full or trial sizes of 100 selected Lancôme products, for beauty consultations and treatments, and for access to events like New York Fashion Week.
The loyalty program is launching on desktops and tablets. Despite the fact that Lancôme, like all businesses, has seen an explosion in mobile usage, the Lancôme Elite Rewards apps are not expected until later this year. "We had to pick priorities, but it will be on mobile extremely fast," he says.
Rossi expects the loyalty program to be a key driver of growth for years to come, and promises that it will evolve a lot, as it provides more and more fruitful insights.
He says, "We didn't want to just throw another promotion or discount. Instead, it's a bi-directional communications channel with consumers to understand them better, collect information about how they go through the decision-making journey, providing more insights so ultimately we can provide an even more personalized experience."

What would the first lady do if the Secret Service would let her do it?
"I would walk out of the door of the White House like a regular person, walk down the street, go the drug store, go to CVS, go in there, go shop," Michelle Obama said on ABC's late-night "Jimmy Kimmel Live."
"I'd go buy my toiletries, I'd pay money, I'd get a receipt," she said, with a hint of the details she gets to avoid at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. "Yes, and then I'd go sit on the park bench and just watch people."
It must be "so boring" for the kids, comedian Kimmel suggested.
"They're still teenagers, so they don't have a poker face — especially when we do events," she said of daughters Sasha and Malia, then imitating the hang-dog face of a bored teenager. Before the president's acceptance speech for his party's nomination in Charlotte this year, she said, her husband told the girls: "Just act like you're listening to me."
"They have a very normal life," she said — they even go trick-or-treating (Sasha this year, not the older Malia).
(Halloween fact-check: We can verify that claim, one of our correspondents having chanced upon some costumed kids escorted by tall men with earpieces in their ears on a street far from the White House one recent Halloween.)

The device measures 0.5 mm x 0.05 mm in size. It is compatible with existing technology owing to its ability to operate at room temperature to produce photons of wavelength of 1550 nm that align with existing communication systems. It can also be built using standard fabrication methods as it is silicon based. The heralded source could form a complete quantum circuit along with two other recent silicon-based developments, the single photon detector and interferometer for controlling the meshing of photons.
The team based their study on an existing technique called silicon photon pair generation in which the photons are pumped by means of laser beam into a material that results in the generation of another pair of frequency-shifted photons. It is difficult to determine the time of photon generation. However, the detection of one photon announces the existence of the other photon. This is essentially the concept of heralded photons. The photon which is detected is called the herald photon and the photon whose existence is thereby inferred is called the heralded photon. The device is not yet ready for practical applications as the single source is not bright enough. This could be resolved by employing multiple devices with corresponding complementary elements on a single chip. Heralded pairs could serve as information storage mediums in quantum computing.

When "The Brady Bunch" first premiered in 1969, it was one of the first shows to feature a stepfamily adjusting to the the highs and lows of a shared household. Sure, Mike Brady's wife had passed away -- so he wasn't a divorcé -- but the show illustrated that it was possible for two families to live together harmoniously and paved the way for future television shows featuring blended families (Think: "Step By Step" and "Modern Family").
The sitcom, which ended in 1974, has lived on in syndication and today, it could be getting a reboot with Vince Vaughn as executive producer. The new show will follow a divorced Bobby Brady, who now has children of his own, as he marries a divorced single mother.
Below, a look back at the stars of the original "Brady Bunch." Click through to see what they're doing today, then weigh in: Did "The Brady Bunch" change the way you viewed family when you were growing up?
"Marcia, Marcia, Marcia!" As played by Maureen McCormick, oldest sis Marcia Brady was popular, perky, loved The Monkees -- and famously took a stray football to her nose. Ouch!
After the "Brady Bunch," McCormick appeared in a handful of low-budget movies and TV guests spots. She also recorded a country album called "When You Get A Little Lonely" in 1995. In her 2008 memoir, "Here's the Story: Surviving Marcia Brady and Finding My True Voice," the actress admitted to dealing with drug and depression issues.
Barry Williams played older brother Greg, the self-confident spokesman of the kids and an aspiring singer.
Besides running his blog,"The Greg Brady Project," Williams has starred in a number of made-for-television films, including "Big Foot," where he and fellow '70s teen star Danny Bonaduce hunt down the legendary creature. In late 2011, the actor launched a variety show at the Yakov Smirnoff theater in Branson, Missouri, which showcases him singing along with clips, videos, and anecdotes from his time on "The Brady Bunch."
Eva Plum played Jan, the middle sister who was perpetually jealous of older sister Marcia.
After "The Brady Bunch," Plumb continued to act, but she also tried her hand at oil painting. She's painted now for over two decades and her work has appeared in a number of galleries.
Christopher Knight played the clumsy, self-doubting middle brother, Peter.
After "The Brady Bunch," Knight worked in the computer industry. He co-founded and supervised various companies, including Eskape Labs. Knight found himself back in the television spotlight in 2005 when he married and starred in a reality show with Adrianne Curry, an "America's Next Top Model" winner. The pair split in May 2011 on the fifth anniversary of their wedding.
Susan Olsen played pingtailed youngest sister Cindy, a little girl who just couldn't keep a secret.
When "The Brady Bunch" ended, Olsen continued acting -- but not in porn films, even if a persistent urban legend suggests otherwise. She also worked as a radio host and dabbled in graphic design. In September 2010, Olsen took a guest spot on the soap "The Young and the Restless," playing a pre-school owner. The next year, she told her tale of dealing with a jealous spirit on an episode of "Celebrity Ghost Stories."
Mike Lookinland played the youngest Brady brother, Bobby, a school safety monitor with football-playing dreams.
Lookinland has acted in a handful of films since the show wrapped and worked as a cameraman on a number of TV and film productions, including the WB series "Everwood."
Florence Henderson played family matriarch Carol Brady, a stay-at-home mother who gained three stepsons when she married quintessential family man, Mike Brady (played by actor Robert Reed, who died of colon cancer in 1992).
Perhaps the cast member to enjoy the most post-"Brady Bunch" success, Henderson has recently appeared on "The Cleveland Show" and "Dancing with the Stars". In 2011, she released an autobiography,

Pocatello, Idaho – The Eastern Washington women's volleyball team fell in straight sets at third-place Idaho State Thursday, Nov. 21, in a Big Sky match at Reed Gym.
The Eagles fall to 9-21 (6-13 Big Sky) with the loss while Idaho State improves to 20-10 (14-5 BSC). Set scores for the match were: 19-25, 18-25, 19-25.
Sophomore Allie Schumacher led EWU with seven kills while juniors Kelsey Julian and Talia Fermantez and sophomore Allison Doerpinghaus added four kills apiece.
Senior Lindsay Niemeier finished with 14 assists to go along with seven digs and four kills. Sophomore Ryann Ensrud paced the Eagles with 13 digs while senior Ashley Wright tallied a match-high five blocks.
A block from Julian brought the Eagles to within one, 6-5, early in the first set, but the Bengals used a 4-1 run to take a four-point lead behind a pair of kills from Makenzie Filer. The hosts opened up a six-point advantage, 14-8, after a service ace from Lori Mendenhall-Lee, causing EWU to call its first timeout.
Down 19-10, Eastern used a 4-0 run to pull to within five, 19-14, punctuated by a kill from Julian. The Bengals went back up seven, 22-15, on a kill from Tressa Lyman, leading EWU to take its second timeout. A kill from Schumacher brought the Eagles back to within five, 23-18, but the hosts held on to claim the first set.
The Bengals opened the second set with a strong sequence of play, taking a 7-2 lead on a block from Lyman and Sommer Reeder. After ISU went up seven, 12-5, a service ace from freshman Chloe Watson and a kill from Schumacher kept EWU within striking distance, down 12-7. Still down five, 13-8, Idaho State reeled off six of the next seven points to take a 10-point advantage, 19-9, near the end of the frame.
Julian put away a pass from Niemeier to cut the Bengals' lead to eight, 20-12, before ISU took its largest lead of the set, 24-12, after another block. Eastern continued to battle, however, staving off six set points before Idaho State finally ended things to take a 2-0 lead into the break.
The third set was back and forth early as neither squad was able to gain any separation. With the score tied at 5-5, ISU used a 3-0 run to gain a three-point advantage only to see Eastern come back to within one, 9-8, behind a block from Wright. The Bengals answered with another run, opening up a 12-8 advantage as the Eagles took their first timeout.
A kill from Fermantez brought EWU to within two, 13-11, but Idaho State extended its lead to five, 16-11, before taking a seven-point advantage on an attack error from Watson. A kill from Wright and three straight miscues from Idaho State brought Eastern to within three, 20-17, as the Bengals were forced to call timeout. The Bengals scored three consecutive points out of the timeout to open up a 23-17 advantage, holding off a late Eastern charge to take the set and the match.
Lyman led all players with 12 kills while Filer added 11 for ISU. Mendenhall-Lee finished with a double-double of 41 assists and 10 digs.
Eastern hit .128 for the match compared to Idaho State's .274 clip. The Eagles registered nine blocks to the Bengals' eight, but ISU recorded six service aces to EWU's two.
Eastern concludes it 2013 campaign this Saturday, Nov. 23, with a road match at Big Sky foe Weber State. First serve is set for 6 p.m. PST.

For the second week in a row, Monroe County health officials are advising people to avoid contact with water at the Luna Pier public beach due to bacterial contamination.
Surface water samples taken Tuesday showed levels of E-coli bacteria exceeded maximum allowable standards and the health department is advising against full body contact or swimming at the beach until further notice.
Chris Westover, director of the county's environmental health division, said his agency plans to take samples again Thursday and will determine if the advisory should be lifted after results are known.
E-coli bacteria can cause illness if ingested or infections if the bacteria gets into open sores or cuts.
Last week, advisories were issued for both Luna Pier and Woodland Beach, but were lifted before the weekend.

Ethics: There's an App for That
Friday, Mar. 21, 2014
Facing a difficult decision—one where you don't know the right thing to do? Well, get out your phone because the Markkula Center for Applied Ethics at Santa Clara University has just released the iPhone app, "Ethical Decision Making: A Practical Tool for Thinking Through Tough Choices."
The free app guides users through a step-by-step process, which begins by getting the facts and identifying the stakeholders in the situation. Then it takes users through five classic ethical approaches—Utility, Rights, Justice, Common Good, and Virtue—posing questions such as "Does this action produce the most good and do the least harm for all who are affected?" and "Does this action treat people equally or proportionally?" Finally, users weight the different approaches and get a score that indicates whether their thinking is on the right track or whether they should evaluate another option.
The app draws on the Ethics Center's popular "Framework for Ethical Decision Making," which has been online for almost 20 years and viewed more than a million times. Apple co-founder A.C. "Mike" Markkula Jr., who chaired the Center's Advisory Board when the Framework was developed, commented, "It's like magic! The new "Ethical Decision Making" app turns the center's classic 'Framework' into an interactive assistant right in your hand—amazing!"
As Center Executive Director Kirk O. Hanson explains, "The Center has always believed that we need a deliberate method to make good ethical decisions. We've used the Framework for many years, and we're delighted to offer it in a new medium that may be particularly attractive to a new generation."
A party celebrating the app launch will take place April 15, 5:30-6:30 p.m., in the Arts & Sciences Building on the Santa Clara University campus. Markkula and Hanson will offer comments. Join us for refreshments and a demo of "Ethical Decision Making."

Diane E. Hawthorne: Republicans face the consequences
Diane E. Hawthorne, Shingletown
It seems some Republican politicians can only open their mouths long enough to change feet. Cases in point: Missouri Senate candidate Todd Akin, who made the asinine statement that a woman, after being "legitimately" raped, having the power to prevent pregnancy, could "shut that whole thing down."
Then we have Indiana Senate candidate Richard Mourdock, who said that pregnancy resulting from rape is "something God intended."
One would think that Celeste Greig, president of the California Republican Assembly, would know better than to issue the following statement: "The percentage of pregnancies due to rape is small because the body is traumatized." Going on she states that she doesn't know what percentage of pregnancies are due to the violence of rape. She should have checked data from the U.S. National Violence Against Women survey; the study said the per-incident rape-pregnancy rate was 6.4 percent, while the same rate for women having consensual sex was 3.1 percent per encounter.
The Republicans, having lost the women's vote in the 2012 election by a large margin, are trying to improve their image among women voters. That certainly isn't going to happen when politicians make such stupid, ignorant, uninformed statements.

Quick Q&A w/Greta Constantine, and Currently Coveting Prada SS13 Eyewear
One of my most favourite parts of attending fashion weeks, is without a shadow of a doubt getting to see the development and big reveal of everything coming together before it hits the runway. You'd think it would also make me into something of an unstoppable shopaholic, but in actuality, it mostly has the reverse […]
Q&A With Supermodel Alek Wek
It is rare when beauty has the power to move you, force you to come to terms with your own, and inspire/challenge the way your eyes and mind process the idea of it on a whole. While fashion continuously brings on new concepts, ideas, and aesthetics, it's ever-changing nature can sometimes leave bystanders (and even […]

University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point junior defenseman Tyler Krueger takes a break from the action during a recent game. The former Stevens Point Area Senior High athlete has worked hard to find a regular spot in the Pointers lineup.
- Filed Under
Nothing has come easy for Tyler Krueger in his journey since leaving Stevens Point Area Senior High for junior hockey.
He was forced to endure his fair share of tough times. From a lack of playing time to bouncing around various junior teams like a ping-pong ball, Krueger came to quickly understand nothing would be handed to him.
Yet through all the bumps in the road along the way, the University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point defenseman refused to let the adversity stop him from living out his dream of playing college hockey. ...

New developments in a sex assault case from nine years ago here in Mesa County.
Jorge Hurtado-Ruiz is accused of sexually assaulting a woman in July of 2000.
Hurtado–Ruiz has been held at the Mesa County jail on an $800,000 bond since he was arrested in 2007.
According to police reports, Hurtado–Ruiz was arrested after the Colorado Bureau of Investigation was able to match DNA from the 2000 case to him.
He was present in court Tuesday where attorneys told the judge both parties have reached a plea agreement but that they are waiting to notify the victim.
The plea is scheduled to be formally submitted early next month.

SOUTH KINGSTOWN - The Rhode Island Division of Public Utilities and Carriers (PUC), the town of South Kingstown, the Union Fire District and United Water are in support of a settlement agreement that would decrease United WaterŌĆÖs proposed rate increase from 42.6 percent to 32.83 percent.
The original 43 percent increase would have resulted in an increase of $10.30 per month for a typical residential customer. The agreed rates would allow United Water to collect an additional $1.2 million in revenue, down from the projected nearly $1.6 million.

Politics Counts
"... unleashing small-business owners so they can create jobs."
Code for cutting taxes for the wealthy and screwing over the middle class.
Jean Schimdt was wasting a lot of her taxpayer-paid time...raising money from Turkish Americans and focusing on their concerns, instead of dealing with the economy in Ohio. She would bash Obama one day and then camp out in an aisle seat in the House of Representatives...so she could embrace Obama as he made his way down that aisle to deliver his State-of-the-Union Address. That is just weird.
And, she also spent a lot of time aggressively battling David Krikorian. SHE brought the complaints against him before the feckless Ohio Elections Commission. SHE filed some ridiculous multi-million dollar lawsuit against Krikorian. All Mr. Krikorian did was run against her and point out what a corrupt embarrassment she was.
When the Congressional Ethics Committee determined she was given a half-million dollars in free legal service bat...tling Krikorian, she was ordered to pay for it. Now that she lost, she never will. That legal help, by the way, was paid for by the Turks.
Can you even wonder why Ms. Schmidt was honored by CREW...as one of the most corrupt Members of Congress?
Now she can spend more time traveling to Turkey for no good reason except to pay back her Turkish contributors...people who gave more money to Schmidt than anyone else in Congress. That is weird and suspicious.
The voters of Ohio's 2nd Congressional District have done the right thing in banishing Ms. Schmidt, the aforementioned corrupt embarrassment, to the ash heap of history...and...instead will be represented by a doctor and Iraq War veteran.
It appears justice still prevails in America.
Who knew that the whole primary came down to Armenians vs. Turks. Must be a huge ethnic component to her district.
Schmidt? What knd of name is that?
I am glad that the Campaign for Primary Accountability evened the playing field against an entrenched incumbent like Schmidt. They made her constituents aware of her big spending and ethical issues. A better educated voter turned out on Tuesday.
I am glad that the Campaign for Primary Accountability evened the playing field against an entrenched incumbent like Schmidt. They made her constituents aware of her big spending and ethical issues. A better educated voter turned out on Tuesday.
And so the return from right-wing extremism begins...
So republicans take down themselves by eating one another? Geez they are now on the same level as a piranha...
The "outside group" was a Turkish lobby group that provided Mean Old Jean with 500k in legal fees the House ordered her to repay.

Naked pics, table for two!
Radar is reporting that nude photos and video featuring Snooki of "Jersey Shore" fame are currently being shopped around the media.
RELATED: Check out Snooki and other stars on the Grammys red carpet
If you're thinking to yourself, "Wait, didn't I hear about this a week ago?" then you're probably thinking of this story, in which we found out about JWoww's reported nude photos.
As far as Snooki's go, the photos are self-snapped and one features her completely naked with her hand on a bed frame, reports Radar. A different photo is deemed "too graphic to describe."
RELATED: Is Snooki the next Kim Kardashian?
Just wondering: Would you even want to see Snooks in the nude? Don't get us wrong, we love Snooki, but we prefer her panty-less backflips censored by the FCC.
UPDATE: Snooki has taken to Twitter to respond to the claims: "Like i said before about my supposed 'sex tape'...There are no nude pictures nor will there ever be. the tabloids just love snook gossip ;]"
Indeed, Snooki, indeed.

This truck melts 600 tons of snow per hour, and turns it to water, which runs into a drainage sewer. Officials from the NY/NJ Super Bowl Host Committee, NFL, and NJ Department of Transportation joined together for a briefing on the weather preparedness plan for Super Bowl XLVIII to be played at MetLife Stadium on February 2. With more than 400,000 visitors expected to come to the region for game-related events, and about 80,000 attending the game, removing potential snow from all designated travel routes will be critical to safely moving visitors throughout the region.

Integrated Virtual Reality for Human Robotics Interaction
This project aims to develop a fundamental framework for establishing an immersive virtual reality environment for robust and scalable human robotics interactions in a heterogeneous intelligent architecture. This integrated environment will allow for human robotics interaction with a large number of robotics agents through a virtual reality environment. A number of industry level applications from the manufacturing industry, the gas and oil sector, as well as medical sector will be able to utilize the proposed architecture for the purpose of training, simulation, and testing. A set of novel frameworks will be developed to establish an efficient human-robotics collaborative environment in a fully immersive Virtual Reality (VR) world.
The proposed architecture may be utilized to create digital libraries for a set of industry applications for training and simulation purposes. The investigation results in developing computational and algorithmic frameworks for establishing such environments. Furthermore, original models and libraries for human-robotics interaction could be developed based on the proposed algorithms to devise efficient infrastructures for a targeted educational or industrial application.

Efficient Video Surveillance
In this project a larger number of individuals from UHV faculty, staff and students, were asked to observe surveillance videos and detect events in them. The objective of this study is to evaluate the performance of human operators in visual surveillance tasks. We developed and impolemented a virtual factory-like environment in an advanced game engine called Unreal Engine.
A software tool is developed that helps detect potential events in video surveillance images. Upon the detection of potential events, the area in which the event may occur may be highlighted to direct the attention of human observers. The performance improvement achieved by employing such tools will be investigated throughout this study.
We will further investigate the limitations of human visual perception in observing simultaneous images that contain many visual stimuli. This will lead us to develop more efficient tools and techniques. These algorithms will further enhance human visual surveillance experience by addressing cognitive and visual challenges human operators face in such applications.

Game Cultures – Virtual Life in MMORPGs
A large number of participants have been recruited to participate in a research study to help our group investigate how cultures and language form and play a role in the age of digital media and virtual worlds. Participants in this research study are asked to play in a Massively Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game (MMORPG). Our research groups is analyzing the ways in which human players communicate with other players or Non Player Characters (NPCs), perform certain tasks and in general socialize in a virtual environment.
The study investigates the hypothesis that players in Massively Multiplayer Online Role-Playing Games (MMORPGs) communicate with other players not only to complete tasks set by the game design but to socially construct virtual communities with identifiable subcultures. The participants' interactions in the game will be qualitatively analyzed to elicit the dynamics of the virtual subcultures that players have formed. Such discourse analysis is a widely accepted method for ethnographic and anthropological research.

Interactive Level Desgin in Mobile Education
The core concept of the project is a gameplay environment involving two players that have full control over creation and modification of levels. This level design mechanism was implemented in an iOS-based game in the area of genetics and based on an existing written assignment. The game includes support for both instructors, who have the ability to create and post assignments and students, who can take the assignments. Two trials of the iOS application consisted of in-class testing of 21 students.
Students first took the original paper assignment, followed by the iOS version. Start times, end times, and grades were recorded for both versions. A comprehensive study of the grades and times for the iOS version of the assignment versus the paper version was conducted. Our objective is to demonstrate that the inherent differences between the delivery of educational materiasl using mobile computing devices to traditional pen-and-paper methods.
We are interested in investigating the infrastructre and architectures to develop strong delivery mechanisms needed to ensure student learning outcomes and completion of the educational material will not be adversly affected.
