Film: 'Love Story 2050'; Music Composer: Anu Malik; Lyricist: Javed Akhtar; Singers: Shaan, KK, Alka Yagnik, Alisha Chinoy and Kunal Ganjawala; Ratings: **1/2
The movie might be set a good 42 years in the future, but the music of 'Love Story 2050', the launch pad of producer-director Harry Baweja's son Harman, fails to make an impact.
'Aa gaya hun mein' kick starts the album but doesn't live up to the hype created by Harman's dancing skills. The track sung by KK is a jumpy dance number, though the music is a little bland and could have been more energetic.Priyanka">Priyanka Chopra">Priyanka">Priyanka Chopra and Harman Baweja in Love Story 2050" src="http://www1.india-forums.com/bollywood/images/uploads/priyanka_harman_big.jpg" align="right" border="" hspace="5" vspace="5">
'Jaane kaisi hai teri meri yeh love story' (Happy Version) follows to give some respite. The track is melodic and romantic. Shaan's vocals are at its best, while Javed Akhtar's lyrics too strike a chord. It's a sweet memorable track that will definitely leave a smile on the face of listeners. The sad version is slow and the violin creates the necessary impact.
'Lover boy' is definitely to be given a miss. The lyrics are weird and that too coming from Javed Akhtar. Alisha Chinai's rendition makes one wonder if it is the same woman who gave a hit like 'Kajra re'. The entire concept of the song is funny and can be skipped.
'Mausam yeh badla hai kyun' sung by Shaan and Alka Yagnik may not be one of the songs, but it brings with it a peppy feel. Lyrics are as romantic and innovative as they can get. Though there have been similar numbers in the past, the song still stands out in the album.
'Meelon ka jaise tha faasla' (happy version) has a very interesting start up tune. KK's vocals are good and Yagnik reminds us of her tracks in 'LOC'. But it is an average piece with nothing special to offer. The sad version is shorter and slower.
Another tune that impresses is 'Milo na milo'. With a futuristic appeal to it, it is an enjoyable dance number that is already making waves thanks to Harman's dance moves. Shaan's voice suits Harman well and the music is quite unconventional.
Kunal Ganjawala then sings 'Sach kehna', which is also a romantic song but has nothing extraordinary. The rendition is peppy and youthful, but the entire package is average. It encompasses a bit of hip-hop as well as a bit of electric guitar, but none of the improvisations are unique.
Anu Malik hasn't really done wonders with 'Love Story 2050'. It ends up as an average album, though the movie holds a lot of expectations.

Last year I sent these little love muffins off to Kindergarten! It was a big day…but this year on to 1st grade. Everyone says it all the time but, I cannot believe how fast time flies. I feel like I just brought them home from the hospital and here they are off to a whole day of school…very bitter sweet. But I'm so excited for their 1st grade adventures. I used to teach first grade..it's my favorite.
I made these signs last year for our annual first day of school pictures. I couldn't wait to share them with you. I just printed off a first grade one and preschool one for my littles.
You can download these signs, and add the year. I left the year blank so that these printables will be good for years to come. I used the font "Allstar" for the year. Or if you want, just print them out and use a white chalk marker to write in the year.
I used my Poppy Seed Projects frame to add a little color and of course the fun shape! You can download these signs below.

Once you master the art of spray painting, you can transform any object, and you can do so without breaking the bank. Thrift stores and garage sales are overflowing with well-made furniture with great lines that just need a little TLC. In addition, some of your own drab pieces can become favorites with a new coat of color. A can of paint and a paint brush may seem like the way to go, but you'll end up with brush strokes and likely be stuck doing multiple coats. Don't let spray paint intimidate you -- it's easier to get a professional look than you think.
Stock up on all the supplies you need to ensure you can complete your job quickly without another trip to the store. You'll need a mask, sandpaper, primer, spray paint and a sealer, depending on the project. Don't be tempted to buy the cheap or generic brands of paint. Brand names like Krylon or Rust-Oleum may cost a buck or two more but it will be worth it in the end. Much like other paint, spray paint has several different finish options, from flat to high gloss. Be sure to select the finish to fit your needs; for furniture, the higher the gloss, the easier it will be to clean. If it is a high-use piece, avoid flat paint -- satin or gloss finishes work best for most projects. If you have a large project on your hands, do yourself a favor and invest in a spray paint handle -- it can save your finger from aches and pains and make for a quicker job. They're only a few bucks at most hardware stores.
Be sure your furniture piece is clean and free of loose pieces or cracks. Tighten any loose screws and fix any structural issues so the piece is sturdy. For best results, sanding your furniture first is essential. Depending on the finish, you'll likely need a medium- to high-grit sandpaper. Sand the piece thoroughly, paying specific attention to any inconsistencies in the original finish or any rough areas. Always sand in the direction of the wood grain. If you're painting over a piece of furniture with a smooth glossy finish -- like most pieces made of particle board or MDF -- you'll need to get that finish off as best as you can. Once it is sanded, wipe it down with a damp cloth to remove all the dust from the piece.
You should only spray paint in a well-ventilated area and always wear a mask. Ideally you will be outdoors, so pick a day when the weather is neither too cold nor too hot, as that may affect dry times and create a bubbly finish. In addition, avoid painting on a windy day -- not only will a lot of your paint blow off into the breeze, but you risk having particles of dust blow onto your wet project. Be sure to cover any surfaces that you don't want to get paint on, even if you don't think you're close enough for it to matter. Spray paint can travel.
Other than sanding, priming is the most important part of your project, and it can even help make up for a poor sanding job. It will ensure even coverage and help the paint stick. There are several varieties of spray paint primer available, including some tinted options that are perfect for projects where you're using a dark color like black or red. Using long, even strokes, cover your piece with primer. Don't spray over areas that don't seem to be covered, as it can lead to dripping. Wait until the first coat dries and then add another coat or touch up if necessary. It's a good idea at this point to do another brief round of sanding to remove any bubbles or inconsistencies that appear during the priming process. Be sure your piece is completely dry before you move on to color.
Begin painting by using long, even strokes. Don't hold the paint too close to the piece or you may get rings or other marks of built-up paint. Much like the primer, don't try to cover it all with the first coat. A second coat is much better than drips that you'll have to sand off. Pay close attention to corners, arms, legs or ornate details, as that's where you are likely to get drips. It may look stripey initially, but those will be covered as you add more paint. The best thing about spray paint compared to regular paint is that it takes less than 10 minutes to dry between coats, making for a quick job. Darker colors may require more coats than lighter colors. Let each coat dry completely, then assess if you want to add another.
Not all projects need to be sealed, but if you're spray painting a high-use piece of furniture like a dining room table, a coat of poly-acrylic will keep your furniture looking nice longer. Other projects may include desk tops, armchairs and even coffee tables. Feel free to seal any project -- it won't hurt it, it's just one more step.
If you make a mistake or have dripping or bubbling, don't panic; you can correct just about any error with another sanding job. Yes, it does take more time and work, but your piece won't be ruined. If you find your paint isn't sticking even after sanding and priming (this is rare) try another coat of primer and sand afterward before applying paint again. Spray paint doesn't work as well on some materials like plastic and some metals, so read the label carefully to be sure the paint will work for your project.

Chiefs score early, dominate Jaguars in 28-2 win
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. It was Kansas City's most lopsided season-opening victory in 50 years, a perfect start to the Andy Reid era.
Alex Smith threw two early touchdown passes, Kansas City's defense dominated all day and the Chiefs handled the Jacksonville Jaguars 28-2 on Sunday.
Jamaal Charles ran for 77 yards and a touchdown before leaving with a quadriceps injury, but that was about the only negative for guys in red.
"You want to win every game you possibly can in the National Football League, that's what you strive for. You work so stinking hard for every week, then you cherish it," said Reid, who spent the previous 14 years in Philadelphia.
The last time Kansas City won its opener by such a wide margin was 1963, a 59-7 victory against Denver.
This one looked like it was headed in that direction after Smith threw two TD passes in the first quarter, both with short fields.
He had a 5-yarder to Donnie Avery, a play that followed a 36-yard punt return by Dexter McCluster. Smith added a 3-yarder to backup tight end Junior Hemingway, which came two plays after Brandon Flowers intercepted Blaine Gabbert's badly underthrown deep pass. Flowers returned it 32 yards to give the Chiefs great field position.
"We could see this coming with our defense," Chiefs linebacker Derrick Johnson said. "We want to put something on film and let everyone see that the Chiefs' defense is for real. ... Our defensive line dominated their offensive line; it's that simple."
Charles made it 21-2 with his 2-yard scamper in the second period. He left the game in the third - after getting sandwiched by linebackers Geno Hayes and Paul Posluszny - but returned for two carries before calling it a day in the fourth.
"He did go back in for a play after he got stepped on, then we pulled him out," Reid said. "It was a quad and you don't mess with those. I think he's going to be OK. He did a nice job. He gives us great versatility there. He ran the ball hard. I thought he played good football."
The defense was even better.
Not only did the Chiefs sack Gabbert six times and post a shutout, they allowed Jacksonville to advance beyond its 36-yard line just twice in 15 series.
"We've just got to be better up front. I'm going to say that," Jaguars center Brad Meester said. "We've got to do a better of creating holes and a better job of protecting for Blaine. We just didn't give him enough time back there. If we don't create holes and give him time, we're just not able to get first downs."
It was a stunning display of offensive futility for the rebuilding franchise. The Jaguars finished with 178 yards, but for most of the game challenged the team low of 117 yards set last year against Houston.
It wasn't even close to the start Bradley wanted, but it was a clear indication of how far the team has to go.
"Sometimes it takes time to find out our identity," Bradley said. "I know as a staff we're going to dig deep to find out the things that we do best and we'll emphasize those."
The Jaguars did little well Sunday.
Gabbert completed 16 of 35 passes for 121 yards and two interceptions, including one Tamba Hali returned for a touchdown and a 28-2 lead in the fourth quarter. Gabbert ran off the field in the closing minutes of the game with a laceration to his right hand. He needed 15 stiches after the game.

Hi Guys, I have registered in this forum hoping that i might receive some valuable information as to how to go about and fix my Vaio laptop which does not recognise the CD/DVD drive at all in the boot menu.
I read all the threads with similar problems but none are quite the same as my case and not much helpful therefore. Please help me if you can.
It started about two weeks ago when i opened a file from the internet and the whole thing came crashing down. i imagine there must have been several malicious viruses and trojans in the file, since it literally seemed like hell had broken loose. i managed to use the laptop for a few more hours, since i was in the middle of doing a project, and after i turned it off, it wouldn't come back on.
i starts normally when turned back on, but it doesn't get very far.
1st screen: VAIO. Intel. Phoenix Technologies.
2nd screen: The bar moving sidely towards the right with (C) Microsoft Corporations.
3rd screen: A problem has been detected and Windows had to shut down to
5th Screen: Startup Repair: Windows cannot repair this computer automatically. If you have recently attached a device to this computer, such as a camera or portable music player, remove it and start again. (none of these are attached). If you continue to see this message, contact your system administrator or comuter manufactrure for assistance. Click Finish to exit and shut down your computer.
the whole process is repeated over and over, that is until i finally managed to attain a Vista CD, and when i press F2 the BIOS menu appears, however in there the CD/DVD drive does not appear. What do i do about this? The drive works fine, since it was always working even the day before the virus struck.
what could it be?
any help is much appreciated,
Thanks, VaiosUser.

Portastatic: Bright Ideas, John Vanderslice: Pixel Revolt
Bright Ideas
John Vanderslice
Pixel Revolt
Mac McCaughan meant it when he titled an old Superchunk anthem "Slack Motherfucker." Here was the T-shirted man-child who taught the indie nation to buck against parents and teachers and punctilious Kinko's night managers, tempting reprimand by stuffing envelopes with his indie label's latest seven-inch. But McCaughan also meant it when he called an album by his semi-solo project Portastatic The Nature of Sap. Dude defines the middle ground between extended adolescence and touchy-feely maturity. For the last few Superchunk albums, that's meant hard-edged guitar parts embroidered with tasteful string charts. And so it does on Bright Ideas, the fifth Portastatic full-length. The title track coasts on mellow acoustic-guitar strums, "Little Fern" sports a roots-rock bounce, and the violin-laced "Truckstop Cassettes" indulges McCaughan's dabbling in breezy Brazilian pop.
Yet the album's tilt toward adulthood goes beyond flashy studio foofaraw. "I wanna know girls," McCaughan sings in a song of the same name, "but love only one/You are my source of energy/Hook a panel up to me." So he's moving beyond the aimless hookups the song suggests used to pepper his touring life--Dr. Phil would be proud. Only McCaughan doesn't do the tune in the hushed alt-folk mode of, say, Iron and Wine; "I Wanna Know Girls" is bright power-pop, perhaps the brightest on Bright Ideas, which gives McCaughan's lyric (goofy as it is) a thrust rooted in assertion, not reaction. The song rings with newfound authority.
McCaughan recorded Ideas at Tiny Telephone, a San Francisco studio owned by John Vanderslice, another entrepreneurial singer-songwriter eager to transcend his indie-scene roots. Vanderslice's thing isn't emotional development, though; it's exchanging the first-person focus for storytelling flair. On 2004's Cellar Door, he sang from the perspective of a prison guard at Guantánamo; in Pixel Revolt's "Plymouth Rock" he embodies a Native American at the titular landmark. "My first raid, made up like a Shawnee brave," he sings over a snare-drum flutter, "I even had my head shaved." As a war correspondent in "Trance Manual" he walks through the "mujahideen barricades...past the bullhorns and sleepy 47s." Vanderslice being an engineer, flashy studio foofaraw is how these little vignettes get over. A sparkly keyboard figure represents the ring of his cell phone as he watches "the second plane hit...live on a hotel TV" in "Exodus Damage." In "New Zealand Pines" he shrouds a walk through Golden Gate Park in a thick pump-organ fog. Authority can wait; he's got special effects.

The Taxman has a bone to pick with statuesque reality personality Khloe Kardashian-Odom.
The socialite — whose resume includes lucrative deals as the star of E!'s Keeping Up With The Kardashians and Kourtney & Khloe, as well as a bevy of cosmetic deals — joins Chris Tucker and Shannen Dohert as one of a dozen Hollywood stars indebted to the cash-strapped State of California.
On Friday, the newlywed wife of Lakers hoopster Lamar Odom was slammed with a tax lien filed in Los Angeles after filing to fork over $18,490 in state taxes in 2007. That's the same year Khloe and her family shot to fame on reality TV series Keeping Up With The Kardashians.

I've read in the documentation that the radio buttons don't have a 'required' option because they don't need it.
However, i have created a form that includes radio buttons and I am able to submit the form without having selected any of the options.
What could be the problem and the fix?

Problematic Controls Impair the Uninspired Modern Combat 4
Impressive in some ways, Gameloft's latest is far too unoriginal.
By Chris Pereira Dec 17, 2012 5:24PM PSTTags: iPad
Gameloft's games are notorious for being more than a little inspired by the leading games in their respective genres: N.O.V.A. with Halo, Order & Chaos Online with World of Warcraft, Hero of Sparta with God of War, Gangstar with Grand Theft Auto, and Modern Combat with Call of Duty. The latest entry in the Modern Combat series, Modern Combat 4: Zero Hour, is no different; it aspires to be a Call of Duty game in almost every way, and it does a fairly solid impression -- and little else. As its name suggests, it's an awfully bland game in many ways, and one which is a real hassle to enjoy due to the limitations of a touchscreen platform.
Having never played a Modern Combat before, I wasn't sure just how much this would play like a Call of Duty. As it turns out, not only does it play almost exactly like one -- the campaign features several playable characters who take part in linear shooter missions set around the globe -- it even sees the United States under attack and features a near-future setting similar to that of Black Ops 2. This wouldn't be a problem if it did something interesting with its narrative. I'm not expecting something on par with Spec Ops: The Line's story, but it needs to do something more than provide a second or third-rate CoD story. From the time I spent with the campaign, it does anything but.
The characters are hollow and give no reason to care about them. At times you'll play as the villain -- something Gameloft says will cause you to "feel the story's dramatic intensity" -- but this serves, if anything, as a demonstration of how little separates the heroes and villains. The dialogue is cliché-ridden and downright ridiculous. The first mission, in particular, features NPC companions who spout, "Holy shit" so frequently you'd think something was wrong with the game, and this only gives way to a line I'd describe as nothing short of incredible: "Shit. This situation isn't going to unf*** itself." What's even funnier (not by design, I suspect) is a line in a later level that states this situation "feels so familiar." If this is a reference to a previous game, it was lost on me, but it amused me because it was said during a sequence where an American city was being attacked in a fashion so reminiscent of recent Call of Duty games that I might remember it as being part of a CoD game a year or two from now.
The game's first level didn't make the best impression on me. It's structured in such a way meant to highlight either variety or badass moments, but it ends up feeling like a series of 'cool' moments (ordering an air strike, taking down an anti-air weapon with a rocket launcher, piloting a ground drone) strung together with some standard shooting in between. And those supposed-to-be-memorable events aren't even all that significant: ordering an air strike requires a single tap of the screen and nothing more (a later mission had me tap a few extra times to do something similar); the way in which the anti-air's platform crumbles after being shot makes the whole sequence feel overly scripted; and the QTE-style screen swipe segments that rear their head numerous times throughout the game feel unnecessary. This is especially true considering there are times where sequences play out much like the QTE ones, only without any input on your part. The drone sequences were the best of the bunch, and that's largely because the drone drives itself and all you have to do is aim and shoot, meaning you aren't spending your time fighting the controls.
Before playing it, I'd heard of the strong reception Modern Combat 4 received, and it's because of it that I wanted to check out the game for myself. I didn't understand how a first-person shooter's controls could not be a major issue in a game played on iOS; those I had tried previously immediately turned me off. Much to my dismay, MC4 doesn't have a great solution for these problems. You can use either touch controls or touch controls with the help of the gyroscope for aiming. Either way, aiming at even stationary enemies (who oftentimes don't move much, probably because they would be far too difficult to hit) was a constant battle. Swinging around my iPad to aim is a less-than-precise solution, and relying exclusively on a virtual stick isn't much better when aiming down the sights, sprinting, throwing grenades, swapping weapons, and reloading all require the use of that side of the screen. It is possible to aim while firing, but it's a hassle to stop firing, readjust your aim, and then start firing again.
Auto-aim is thankfully available to help alleviate matters, although using it swings things too far in the opposite direction -- it becomes too easy to hit your target. Aiming anywhere in the general direction of an enemy and tapping the ADS button causes your weapon to snap to the target so all you have to do is shoot. Repeating this process is a formula that can get you through almost any encounter, particularly when the auto-aim not only lines up your shoot, but sometimes places your reticle on an enemy's head. I decided I didn't want to rely exclusively on this to get through the game and opted to manually aim through a combination of gyro and touch controls. What ended up happening is I would physically move my character around to line up shots and keep my finger on the Shoot button, rather than jump between it and aiming with my right thumb. And, put simply, that just isn't a fun way to play a shooter.
Combined with some rough edges -- enemies not reacting to grenades, armored vehicles that explode when shot with an assault rifle, instances where enemies can be knifed through solid objects -- and the uninspired gameplay that expands very little on what's been seen time and again in Call of Duty, the controls make it difficult to enjoy the single-player. There were instances where enemies were lined up in a way that the controls weren't too much of a hassle and I found myself having fun, but far, far too often I wished I had a physical controller I could attach to my iPad or iPhone, the latter of which controls better than the former but has a screen too small for a game that asks you to keep two thumbs on the screen.
Multiplayer faces the same problems in terms of controls. At times I found myself in battles that I couldn't help but laugh about, as both myself and my target would repeatedly miss one another; we were essentially creating cartoon-style bullet outlines of one another. The most reliable way of killing other players, I found, is to simply run up and knife them, though if they happen to move and you have to spin around to catch up with them you might as well already be dead. There were players who have found ways of consistently aiming accurately, but, based on my own experience, many times I wondered if they were using some kind of external controller.
Like the single-player, multiplayer is also very derivative of Call of Duty. To be fair, many FPSes nowadays are, and MC4 is no different: there is the ability to create loadouts, use killstreak bonuses, and specialize yourself with certain bonuses. The game modes are also lacking for originality, save for one where two teams attempt to capture certain points that bestow the controlling team with a particular perk. Save for the times where the opposition had a clear advantage in terms of their handle on the controls, I actually had a good time with multiplayer despite the frustration of being unable to hit targets as reliably as I could with a controller or keyboard and mouse.
As negative as I may sound about the game, I do think Gameloft deserves some credit. Yes, this is a game that lacks originality, but it does pull off a technically sound Call of Duty impression for a mobile game that costs only $7. I would very much like to see the next game strive for something more; the implementation of the Havok engine here helps to make combat look better, and there is a good amount of content between a few hour-long campaign and a multiplayer mode with eight maps and about a half-dozen game modes.
But I can't fully applaud a game that tries to do so little that can be considered different -- the ability to purchase upgrades mid-mission, for instance, is neat but ultimately frivolous. I can't help but feel the strong reception for the game is due in part to the lack of FPSes on the platform, but there's a good reason for that -- platforms without buttons and sticks don't make for a great FPS experience. I'm not sure where there is room for improvement in terms of the controls, so the least Gameloft could do with the inevitable sequel is try to do something more than ape Call of Duty.

This game is awesome...Posted: Aug 13, 2013 12:00AM PST by xXL3GiTiM4T3Xx
Try writing a review not high. I'm almost 97% sure you are on shrooms of some sort. Yes the points u outline are true however you have to remember what you are playing on. Gameplay did a fantastic job for an ios game. You mentioned hard controls? This is practically the only game to let you fully customize your control setup! Including position and size of buttons. also you should get better before reviewing a game to because I have no problem kiing people and my online encounters are fast paced and action pacted not as you described. It is very easy to aim shoot and kill. It just takes a little practice. The only thing i hare is the campain is like rly corny and cliche but whatever. compared to a game like angry birds or tiny wings which have 1 game mode, 1 controll and gets boring after 1 day, MC3 + 4 are completely unbelievable. the replayability is also good too. and ot has better visuals then anything else. Take a bit of time to get used to the game. Trust me its fun.

Jordan Loveridge led the Utes in scoring this evening
Nov. 22, 2013
SALT LAKE CITY - Jordan Loveridge paced four players in double figures with 14 points and Princeton Onwas chipped in 12 points and 10 boards off the bench to lead Utah men's basketball to an 84-57 victory over Lamar.
Renan Lenz added 12 points and Delon Wright chipped in 10 for the Utes (4-0), who won their second game in two days hosting the Global Sports Hoops Showcase. Utah shot 69 percent from the field in the second half and finished 34-of-63 (54.0 percent) overall. The Utes out-rebounded Lamar 37-31 and held a 46-26 edge in points in the paint.
"I think once we settled down, Delon and Princeton really got the ball to the tin," head coach Larry Krystkowiak said. "Jordan started to assert himself and that really opened the game up for us offensively. I think we freed Princeton up a little tonight. We wanted him to just go out and play like he likes - with high energy and in that free-wheeling style. He gave us a big boost defensively also because he was guarding their best player."
"I just tried to be real aggressive," Onwas added. "I think Coach Krystkowiak started trusting me more now that I'm healthier. I've been hindered when it comes to jumping and my athleticism, but I think I'm getting back to full strength."
The Cardinals shot just 25-of-61 from the field (41 percent). Rhon Mitchell scored 17 points off the bench and Nimrod Hilliard added 16 for Lamar (1-4).
Utah broke open a close game early in the second half, turning a six-point halftime lead into a double-digit margin behind the efforts of Loveridge and Wright.
However, Utah buried the Cardinals behind an 18-4 run. Onwas began the spurt with a dunk and Dakarai Tucker finished it with a layup, giving Utah a 69-44 lead with 5:59 remaining.
"I think our depth - notably, Dallin, Kenneth, Ahmad and Parker - made an impact this evening," Krystkowiak added. "It wasn't long ago that we didn't have that luxury but now we have some depth and we want to take advantage of it. We lost some focus in the early going and we were turning the ball over. I was not unhappy with the shot selection, I just thought the things that were not going well were fixable. We made some adjustments and played better in the second half."
The Utes pulled away by imposing their will down low. Out of the nine field goals that made up the decisive run, eight came on layups or dunks.
Lamar offered plenty of resistance to Utah out of the gate. During the first half, the Cardinals edged the Utes in categories where they had dominated against their first three opponents.
Hilliard scored a pair of quick baskets and Wilson slashed in for a layup to push Lamar out to an early 7-3 lead. Loveridge drained a 3-pointer and Lenz converted a 3-point play to put Utah back in front. It helped spark a 13-3 run for the Utes, culminating in a Brandon Taylor 3-pointer and a 16-10 lead.
The Cardinals weren't finished. They turned again to Hilliard, who hit a pair of baskets to close the gap. Lamar finally retook the lead a couple of minutes later, going up 21-20 on a layup from Donovan Ross.
Utah went back in front when Tucker drained a 3-pointer on the next possession. But the Utes could not shake the Cardinals.
Lenz hit a couple of baskets to build Utah a five-point cushion. Then Taylor added another 3-pointer to push the Ute lead to six at 32-26. Each time, Mitchell answered with jumpers on the other end to keep Lamar within striking distance going into halftime.
Utah will conclude the Global Sports Hoops Showcase on Saturday against Savannah State at 5 p.m. Lamar and Grand Canyon will meet in the afternoon's first game at 2 p.m.

By Amanda Vinicky • Jan 15, 2015 Amanda Vinicky A new class of legislators were sworn into office Wednesday, making the start of a new, two-year legislative session. It's also the official beginning of a new period in Illinois politics. With Republican Bruce Rauner in the governor's mansion, Illinois will have a divided government for the first time in a dozen years. Lawmakers Push To Speed Up Fracking Even After Proposal Dies By Hannah Meisel • May 28, 2014 Amanda Vinicky/WUIS Lawmakers are giving up on an attempt to override state regulators in order to jumpstart fracking in Illinois. But they still say Gov. Pat Quinn's administration is dragging its feet on a potential economic boom. It's been a year since hydraulic fracturing, known as fracking, was approved in Illinois. The law was hard-fought, but in the end, industry and environmental interest groups signed off. Voices In The News 2013 By Brian Mackey • Dec 31, 2013 Brian Mackey / WUIS As we get ready to welcome 2014, we thought we'd take a few minutes to reflect on some of the voices in the news this past year in Illinois state politics and government. People in the Capitol were busy with same-sex marriage, medical marijuana, and dozens of other issues. What follows are a few of the more memorable moments. Gov. Pat Quinn: "This is no small issue. This is a choice about whether we will make the tough decisions necessary to balance our budget by reforming our public pension systems." Marriage Debate Hinges On 'Freedom' By Brian Mackey • Nov 6, 2013 Amanda Vinicky/WUIS Same-sex marriage will soon be legal in Illinois. The House narrowly approved legislation Tuesday, and Governor Pat Quinn says he'll sign it into law. The vote came after months of intense lobbying, in which both sides claimed they were fighting for individual freedom. It's been a busy year for people who care about same-sex marriage in Illinois. Supporters had an early victory on Valentine's Day, when the state Senate approved what backers call "marriage equality" legislation. Old Union Pay Raises Still In Limbo By Brian Mackey • Oct 28, 2013 Brian Mackey / WUIS Union workers are still fighting for raises they were owed starting in 2011, but have never been paid. A court has ruled in their favor, but the Illinois legislature is still debating whether to make good. To finally settle the pay raise issue, lawmakers would have to come up with about $100 million.

1 of 1 people found the following review helpfulDecember 30, 2010Reviewer: Desiree in NevadaThis is the only protein I buy! It is the cleanest isolate I have found, and sweetened with stevia instead of anything artificial. I have tried all of the flavors, and chocolate and cinnamon swirl are the two I constantly keep on hand. The taste is a little weak, which is the only reason I wouldn't give it a rating of 5.
April 09, 2012Reviewer: Virginia in VirginiaI couldn't decide whether to give these 4 or 5 stars. They're great, but the flavors are a little mild - not good with water unless you spruce them up with sugar-free syrups or flavored extracts. Great as is with milk, though.
Good quality protein, no weird protein smell/taste and a simple list of ingredients make these about a 4 1/2 in my book. I've tried the Birthday Cake, Vanilla, Peaches and Cream and Cinnamon Swirl so far and have just ordered the Banana and Chocolate.

Elm Grove science teacher recognized by NASA
Biernat named to National Explorer School Merit Roll
Kathy Biernat, a science teacher at St. Mary's Visitation School in Elm Grove, recently received a national honor from NASA for her ongoing activities in sparking an interest in space science among her students.
Earlier this month Biernat was one of 10 teachers across the nation selected by NASA to be part of its National Explorer School Merit Roll. It was based on her "stellar ideas and successful teaching strategies."
The honor followed Biernat's participation for the past three summers in NASA's National Explorer School workshops in Houston.
The teacher not only brought back lessons for her students, she has recruited fellow teachers to participate. Participation allowed students to use space science equipment and conduct a live video chat with NASA engineers.
"I am really pretty excited to be able to offer all the great opportunities to my kids through NASA," Biernat said. "It's so much more than astronomy. We use their materials in studying physics, chemistry, animals and even life science."
Biernat, who has been at St. Mary's for the past seven years, said she still hears from former students who tell her about their science studies in high school and college.
"It's fun to hear about how they are progressing and how excited they still care about science," she said.
Biernat and St. Mary's Principal Mary Tretow said they are proud of how the participation in NASA programs has made inroads with female students.
"Obviously, I want to get all students interested in science," Biernat said. "But it is really gratifying that this is inspiring young women who have not been as interested before this."
Tretow said the science curriculum that has been bolstered by Biernat's work has generated higher science exam scores.
"It's great that students are more and more considering becoming engineers and scientists," Tretow said. "That's the real strength of what Kathy has been able to accomplish."
Molly Berens, a St. Mary's Visitation mom, said she has several children who are planning to go into science-based careers ranging from medicine to engineering.
"I think it's just one of those things where a teacher has a lot of influence," Berens said. "I can see how she has been recognized by NASA."

Oklahoma workers' comp bill to be unveiled this week
Legislation changing the Oklahoma Workers' Compensation Court from a judicial to an administrative system will be released this week, a key lawmaker says.
Republican Gov. Mary Fallin and Republican leaders in both GOP-controlled legislative chambers are supportive, House Speaker T.W. Shannon said.
"An administrative system is the focus of discussions," said Shannon, R-Lawton. "We've worked pretty closely with the Senate and the governor's office and the governor has given us the green light to work … together and send a plan. I'm confident it's going to be one she can sign."
The measure, a product of months of discussions between business and political leaders, also will include an opt-out option for certain companies, he said. "It will be the centerpiece for comprehensive reform."
Senate President Pro Tem Brian Bingman has called the state's workers' comp system "very adversarial" and told the Greater Oklahoma City Chamber of Commerce last month he is optimistic lawmakers will change the system to an administrative one.
Bingman's spokesman, Nathan Atkins, said the legislation "is truly a comprehensive, holistic approach to replacing our system. There will be many moving parts to it."
Atkins said there's also "broad support for the Oklahoma option — an alternative for employers to create their own workers' compensation plan."
A bill that would have given large employers that option narrowly failed to pass the House last year. "Many of the concerns that we heard at that time have been addressed in the revamped and updated Oklahoma option," Atkins said.
Fallin's office was less specific.
"The governor believes excessive workers' compensation costs are a barrier to growth for Oklahoma businesses," press secretary Aaron Cooper said. "The governor supports reforms to the … system that will reduce costs for businesses while also treating injured workers fairly."
Democratic opposition
Democratic leaders oppose wholesale workers' comp changes, while changing the system has been a longtime goal for Republican lawmakers. It also is a high priority of The State Chamber as well as Tulsa and Oklahoma City chambers of commerce. An Oklahoma City chamber official said Oklahoma companies pay the sixth-highest workers' compensation rates in the country.
House Minority Leader Scott Inman, D-Del City, said he agrees changes are needed, but it's premature to make a major overhaul. Fallin and GOP legislative leaders claimed measures passed and signed into law two years ago would reduce rates. Some of those changes are just now taking effect.
"In order to see a precipitous drop in premiums, it may take another two or three years for that to happen," Inman said, "and we don't want to see a knee-jerk reaction that we may not be able to afford now."
A workers' compensation claim takes about three years to complete, and some can be reopened 10 years later, he said. If an administrative system is enacted, the current judicial system would have to remain in place to take care of those claims, Inman said.
"You can't offer an entirely new system … that will cost between $5 million and $10 million, if it's anything like the current system," he said. "How can we as a state afford to set up an entirely new … system when for at least a decade or more we're going to have to run a parallel judicial system?"
Inman said it would be more effective to work to control medical costs of the workers' compensation system.

This ketchup is a great way to introduce your family to fermented foods. It has just the right blend of spices to make it taste similar to the store-bought kind, but with all the benefits of probiotic-rich fermentation. You can make it more or less sweet by adjusting the amount of maple syrup, or you can substitute honey if you prefer. If you can't find strained tomatoes you can substitute 2 jars of tomato paste plus 2 jars of water in addition to the other jar of tomato paste.
Pour tomatoes and tomato paste in a large bowl. Add garlic, onion powder, powdered mustard, cloves, allspice, and salt. Whisk together.
Stir in vinegar, maple syrup and whey or kombucha. If you like thinner ketchup, add water to your desired consistency.
Pour into 3 pint jars, cap, and let sit at room temperature 2 days to ferment. Transfer to refrigerator when fermented. This lasts for months in the refrigerator, but your family is likely to polish it off much sooner.

Donington Park remained cold for the second race of the second round of the World Superbike Championship, though there was plenty of drama both on and off the track to keep things heated up. Race 1 featured a thrilling charge through the field by one protagonist, while Superpole had drama all its own. Though Checa won pole convincingly for the second time in a row this season, it was Max Biaggi who garnered the most attention after Saturday's qualifying. Reigning champion Max Biaggi had some traffic issues during Superpole, first holding up, and then being held up by rival and WSBK rookie Marco Melandri.
Neither James Toseland nor Chris Vermeulen participated in either race. Toseland was home recovering from a fractured wrist, injured in a testing crash last week, while Vermeulen was at Donington and participated in Fridays practice sessions, only to sit out qualifying and the races with his knee still recovering from a 2010 crash and surgery.

Damages for Pain and Suffering and Emotional Distress in Products Liability Cases Involving Strict Liability and Negligence
Hunter, Richard J., Jr., Amoroso, Henry, Faulkner Law Review
Two of the important theories used to establish liability in modern products liability cases are negligence and strict liability. Compensatory damages are generally awarded in products liability cases based on a negligence theory in order to reimburse a plaintiff for losses (damages) caused as a result of the conduct of a defendant. (1) Cases involving strict liability focus on defects existing in a product rather than on the conduct of a particular defendant. (2)
Negligence: Elements of Proof
Numerous sections of the Restatement (Second) of Torts deal with the liability of persons who supply goods based on a theory of negligence. (3) Generally, these sections provide that the supplier is liable for the "physical harm" caused by the product. Official comments to these sections indicate that "physical harm" includes both bodily harm and property damage.
The most widely used definition of negligence provides that "[n]egligence is the failure to do something which a reasonably careful person would do, or the doing of something which a reasonably careful person would not do." (4) When a negligence action arises in products liability, the plaintiff must focus on the conduct of the manufacturer or seller; thus, the plaintiff must prove that the defective product was caused by the negligent conduct of the manufacturer or seller. (5)
In products liability cases, the plaintiff is generally required to establish four elements. First, the plaintiff must establish that the manufacturer or the seller owed a duty of reasonable care in the design, manufacture, or sale of the product. (6) Second, the plaintiff must prove that the defendant seller or the defendant manufacturer breached that duty by failing to exercise the standard of care of a "reasonable person" under the circumstances of the case. (7) Third, the plaintiff must prove that the plaintiff suffered personal injury or damage to his or her property. (8) Fourth, the plaintiff must prove that the breach of duty was both the cause-in-fact and the proximate cause of his or her injury or damages. (9) Most courts have defined cause-in-fact by the "but for" or "sine qua non" test, (10) requiring the plaintiff to prove that his or her injury would not have occurred if the product defect had not existed. (11) However, the proof-of-negligence requirements have been significantly moderated in some cases by the development of the concepts of negligence per se (12) and res ipsa loquitur (13)--but only under very limited circumstances.
Strict Liability
Strict liability in tort is an alternative to finding liability through negligence. The imposition of strict liability in tort has been justified on numerous policy grounds. Justice Traynor listed several rationales for imposing absolute liability (an earlier iteration of the theory) in his concurring opinion in Escola v. Coca Cola Bottling Co., (14) a case that was the clear precursor to the creation of the theory of strict liability in tort. These rationales, among others, include (1) providing an incentive for manufacturers to produce safer products and to minimize the losses to society from those products; (15) (2) recognizing that the manufacturer is in a better position than the consumer to absorb or pass on the costs from injuries that result from defective products; (16) (3) eliminating the problems of proof that confront plaintiffs in negligence actions, which often involve assertions of contributory negligence by the manufacturer in order to defeat a plaintiff's claim. (17) As a general proposition, Justice Traynor noted, "An injured person ... is not ordinarily in a position to refute [a showing of proper care] or identify the cause of the defect, for he can hardly be familiar with the manufacturing process as the manufacturer himself is." (18)
Indeed, it took almost twenty years for the California Supreme Court to adopt the views of Justice Traynor concerning the imposition of strict liability. …

The copy to clipboard would be initiated by javascript but having user confirmation or a dialog isn't a problem.
Solutions which don't work in Windows and Linux, or which don't work at least in Chrome and Firefox are without interest to me.
Ideally I would prefer a solution that doesn't impose to display the image (which is built in memory with

Film: "Epic"; Voices: Amanda Seyfried, Beyonce Knowles, Colin Farrell, Josh Hutcherson, Christoph Waltz, Aziz Ansari, Steven Tyler, Jason Sudeikis, Pitbull, Judah Friedlander, Blake Anderson, Chris O'Dowd, Emma Kenney, and Jason Harris; Director: Chris Wedge.
Based on the children's book "The Leaf Men and the Brave Good Bugs" by William Joyce, "Epic" is a 3D animated science fiction fantasy film with ample amount of action and adventure.
"Epic" tells the story of an ongoing battle between the forces of good, who keep the natural world alive, and the forces of evil, who wish to destroy it.
Mary Katherine (voiceover by Amanda Seyfried), a young teenage girl, visits her father Professor Bomba (Jason Sudeikis) in a remote forest after the death of her mother. Their relationship is strained due to her father's obsession with his work. In fact, she is convinced that her father has gone nuts when he tells her that "the forest is inhabited by miniature beings".
Dejected, she ambles into the forest and finds herself magically transported into this secret universe filled with miniature yet larger than life figures, where she witnesses Queen Tara (Beyonce Knowles) being attacked by Mandrake (Christoph Waltz) and his son.
The Queen, before dying, hands over a bud to Mary and instructs her to take it to Nim Galulu (Steven Tyler), the eight-footed caterpillar who is the historian of the universe who will help them find an heir to the throne.
Lost and not knowing what to do, she teams up with Ronin (Colin Farrell), the leader of the mythical creatures known as Leaf Men, who is also the Queen's trusted commander, Nod (Josh Hutcherson), Slug (Aziz Ansari) and Snail (Chris O'Dowd), on this great mission to save their world and hers.
From the makers of "Ice Age" and "Rio", "Epic" is truly a grand scale escapade that reveals a mystical world unlike any other. The film looks spectacular with beautiful, lush, green landscapes and a multitude of well-rendered animals, insects and birds. The entire creation is impressive with all the characters well drawn, unique and life like.
The comic relief is provided in the form of a Slug and a Snail as well as a scene-stealing three-legged pug. The jokes arrive with varying degrees of success, but they are always welcome as the rest of the film takes itself incredibly seriously.
Chris Wedge is truly a real wizard to match the assortment of star voices with the characters. Also, there are vocals by Steven Tyler, Josh Hutcherson and Judah Friedlander, which is also enchanting.
The music and background score by composer Danny Elfman is used appealingly to enhance the entire experience.
The production design and cinematography are amazing. The visuals are truly mesmerising. The 3D computer-generated images are so accurate, unique and life-like. The chase sequences are enthralling and keep you glued to your seat.
"Epic" is stunning and well intentioned. It will surely appeal to kids and allure adults too, a must-see to have a refreshed view of a beautiful world.

Norman Jennett was born in North Carolina. He contributed his first cartoon to the Raleigh News Observer in 1895. He became widely known as a political cartoonist in North Carolina in the 1890s, satirizing state politics in particular. He moved to New York city to attend art school, studying at the National Academy of Design and the William Chase School of Art, and selling his work to various magazines and newspapers, including Life, the Evening Journal and the New York Herald. He continued to contribute political cartoons to North Carolina newspapers. He was hired by the New York Herald in 1901 and worked there until 1917, leaving to become art director at Aerial Age and later Flying magazine. His most notable creation is the comic feature 'The Monkey Shines of Marseleen'. Eventually he became art director at McFadden Publications, retiring in 1939 to paint in oil and watercolors.
