Angelina Jolie is a now respected U.N. goodwill ambassador and mother of six, but has been open about her early drug addiction. Jolie's sordid drug past has come back to haunt her in a newly surfaced video that shows she was addicted to heroin and cocaine.
Jolie's former drug dealer, Franklin Meyer, said Angelina used to buy drugs from his downtown Manhattan apartment during her early 20s, when she lived in New York.
"Angie was a client of mine for several years," Meyer told the National Enquirer. "I sold her heroin and cocaine. One day she called me up and wanted me to drop by her place. That was her way of felling me she wanted me to bring her drugs."
Meyer filmed a 16-minute video of Jolie getting high on drugs and discussing her sex secrets, and has cashed it on it by selling it to the National Enquirer. In July 2010, Meyer sold unauthorized photos to Star magazine of a young Angelina reportedly high on heroin, posing in grainy S&M-type photos with tape on her nipples and lying on her back with a dog leash around her neck.
'I Was Lucky I Didn't Die From Drug Abuse'
Among the revelations Angelina made in the new video was that former husband Billy Bob Thornton was hung "like a horse." More importantly, Meyer said an anorexic-looking Jolie had needle marks all over her arms and appeared to be in a drug-addled haze.
These revelations, while shocking, are not surprising, as Angelina has owned up to her drug past. In 2011, Jolie admitted she had experimented with drugs, alcohol and self-mutilation to cope with her existential emptiness.
"I went through heavy, darker times and I survived them," Jolie told 60 Minutes (see video above). "I didn't die young, so I'm very lucky. There are other artists and people who didn't survive certain things."
Angelina said she was self-destructive during her teens and early 20s, experimenting with drugs and going through bouts of severe depression, because she had no purpose in life. "I knew little about the world and I was completely self-absorbed," said Jolie.
'I Did Drugs to Cope With Existential Emptiness'
Angelina has also openly spoken of her teenage self-loathing, which led to cutting herself with knives, her fascination with death (and even considered a career as a funeral director), thoughts of suicide, and undefined feelings of frustration.
I used to think I was unstable, because I had this thirst for something. I could never figure out what it was. I couldn't sleep at night, and I always wanted to be somewhere else, and I have a window tattooed, this little box, and it's because wherever I was, I wanted to be somewhere else. And I always saw myself — wherever I was in life — staring out the window."
Things changed in 2001, when Jolie was named the Goodwill Ambassador for the United Nations High Commission for Refugees (UNHCR). Since then, she has visited UNHCR refugee operations all over the world.
The experience completely changed her outlook and gave her a sense of purpose, which was to use her celebrity to help others. "I've become a better human being," Jolie has said. "I've learned the strength of the human spirit."
Jolie's transformation from drug addict to humanitarian was further enhanced by her happy home life, which involves being the mother of six children and her relationship with Brad Pitt.
Angelina Will Get Ovary-Removal Cancer Surgery
These days, Jolie is doing well after undergoing a preventive double mastectomy in February 2013 after genetic tests revealed she was a carrier of the BRCA1 gene, which gave her an 87% chance of developing breast cancer and a 50% chance of contracting ovarian cancer.
As a result of her mastectomy, Angelina's breast-cancer risk has dropped to under 5%. Jolie's mother, aunt, uncle, grandmother and grandfather all died from cancer, forcing the Oscar winner to take the radical step of preemptively removing both her breasts.
Jolie is doing well now after the double mastectomy, but will remove her ovaries in the near future. The ovary-removal procedure, called an oophorectomy, will lower the risk of ovarian cancer by 80%-90% by reducing the amount of estrogen and progesterone circulating in the body.
Angelina told reporters she's touched by all the people she meets who share their own cancer stories. "Wherever I go, usually I run into women and we talk about health issues, women's issues, breast cancer, ovarian cancer," she said. "I am very, very moved by all the support and kindness from so many people."

Throwing Back The Bass
After Wednesday's afternoon game against the A's, the Twins announced that Alexi Casilla would be recalled from the DL and Brian Bass would be sent down to Triple-A. Perhaps the effectiveness of the bullpen on that day was a part of that decision:
Despite allowing an unearned run (Nick Punto (rare) error) in the first inning, Francisco Liriano pitched five innings on Wednesday and did not allow an earned run. The problem: he was over the "magical" 100 pitch mark (geez, I sound like Bert Blyleven now!) and thus pulled from the game. This was not a good sign, as the Twins' bullpen seemed to just be recovering from a rough stretch and now they would be used again in long relief.
However, the pen was up to the challenge on this day. Boof pitched two impressive innings, while Jesse Crain recorded perhaps the most important outs of the game in the eighth inning with A's clogging the bases. Joe Nathan picked up his 34th save of the year and lowered his ERA to an even 1.00. The good: The bullpen pitched four EFFECTIVE innings. The bad: The bullpen pitched FOUR effective innings, thus needing another pick-me-up from Baker tomorrow night.
Offensively on Wednesday, the Twins were held mostly in check but for Mike Redmond (2-4, 2 RBI) and Justin Morneau (1-3, 1 RBI). Yet, thanks to the solid bullpen, that was all that was needed.
-Do I agree with Bass being sent down? Not exactly…at least from a pure performance perspective. Taking into consideration the entire season, I'd say that Bass has pitched better than Bonser overall. Yet, there must be monetary reasons (like, the Twins don't want to dump his larger salary) why the Boofster still commands a bullpen chair.
-Liriano still needs to work on not giving up so many walks. Were it not for those on Wednesday, he would have likely pitched into the sixth or even seventh inning. A better hitting team (if he ever faces one!) will eventually make him pay for those free passes.
-The Twins have won their past 11 home series. Wow! If we can hang in the race over the long road quest, those home games against the ChiSox are looking pretty good.
Preview (72-54, 2nd, 1.0 GB CWS): Scott Baker (7-3, 3.91) vs. John Lackey (10-2, 3.22). Traditionally, Lackey has been hard on Twins' bats. Beating him could be a big boost in terms of road morale right from the get-go.

UMass Falls Just Shy In Upset Bid Of Navy
Sept. 9, 2006
Final Stats | Notes | Photo Gallery
ANNAPOLIS, Md. (AP) -- Backup quarterback KaipoNoa Kaheaku-Enhada ran for a touchdowns and led another scoring drive, coming off the bench to help Navy defeat Massachusetts 21-20 on Saturday.
Kaheaku-Enhada replaced starter Brian Hampton and immediately led Navy (2-0) on a six-play, 80-yard drive. The Midshipmen tied the game at 14 when Matt Hall busted a 53-yard touchdown run in the second quarter.
Kaheaku-Enhada scored on a 19-yard run to put the Mids ahead 21-17 with 3:18 left in the third quarter.
Liam Coen completed 17 of 29 passes for 187 yards for Division I-AA Massachusetts (1-1). The Minutemen took an early 14-7 lead after Coen hit J.J. Moore for a 37-yard score midway through the second quarter. Steve Baylark gained 84 yards on 21 carries.
Navy rushed for 268 yards on 51 carries and Hall finished with 66 yards on four carries. Navy fumbled seven times and committed four turnovers, three of which set up scores for Massachusetts.
One of those turnovers, a fumble by Hampton at the Navy 22, set up Chris Koepplin's 36-yard field goal with 5:55 to play to make it 21-20.
A fumble on the next series by Kaheaku-Enhada gave the Minutemen a chance to go ahead, but Massachusetts fumbled and Navy's Tyler Tidwell recovered at the 25.
In the first quarter, Massachusetts drove 79 yards in eight plays with Tim Washington scoring from the 5-yard line. Navy countered with a 73-yard drive that ended with Hampton's 4-yard run. An interception by Tracy Belton set up Coen's touchdown pass to Moore.

Lynda's Garden: To Market
I have to admit, sometimes I buy things at the farmer's market simply because they look so good that I can't refuse and this week was no exception. When I arrived at the Leslieville Farmer's Market last Sunday I stocked up on Mennonite farmer David Martin's summer sausage. It's simply the best I've ever had (given the line-up I stood in to make my purchase I'm going to assume I'm not alone in my opinion). And, as if that wasn't enough of a reason to buy some, David hand stamps all his labels.
Next stop, Bizjak Farms for apples. Bizjak Farms is a multi-generational family owned business that was established in 1973 by Louis and Maria Bizjak. What can I say, I bought a basket with seven apples and ate three before I got home. Each one sweet, crisp and delicious — plus, how cute are they! When I have had to buy apples for a photo shoots in the past I'm hard pressed to find ones in a store as cute and as perfect as these ones.
[images: Lynda Felton]
I also bought some purple runner beans. I don't particularly love runner beans but the colour of these was so spectacular I couldn't resist. And, having them sitting on my counter next to the vase of purple fountain grass I also bought makes me happy.
The Leslieville Farmer's Market runs every Sunday to October 30th at Jonathan Ashbridge Park between 9am and 2pm!

PopCap Games has teased it and Playstation 4 and Playstation 3 owners have been asking for it since it was first announced for the Xbox One and Xbox 360. On Thursday, "Plants vs. Zombies: Garden Warfare" was finally given a release date for the Playstation consoles.
The announcement was made by PopCap Games Lead Producer Brian Lindley on the Playstation Blog where he confirmed that "PvZ: Garden Warfare" will launch for both the PS3 and PS4 on August 19. Additionally, the game will come with all of the free DLC that has been released so far with the "Garden Variety" and "Zomboss Down" expansion packs.
Like the Xbox versions, only the next-gen console will support certain features. PS4 owners will be able to play local split screen co-op in the Garden Ops mode for two players. It will also support the Boss Mode feature that is like the "Battlefield 4" Commander mode and can be played with tablets via the Playstation App. The PS4 version is also confirmed to run at 1080p and 60 frames per second.
While not officially announced, it appears that "Garden Warfare" will also receive some Playstation exclusive accessories to dress either the Plants or Zombies with. Screenshots show "Sly Cooper," "Ratchet and Clank" and "Fat Princess" themed gear among others.
With the latest DLC, "Plants vs. Zombies: Garden Warfare" offers four different modes of play. Garden Ops is a team of four Plants working together to fight through ten waves of Zombies, including two boss waves. Team Vanquish is the PvZ spin on the traditional Deathmatch and Gardens and Graveyards is the unique take on the Rush mode from "Battlefield." Finally, Gnome Bomb has both sides trying to detonate a bomb strapped to the back of a garden gnome at various bases across the map.
Both the Plants and Zombies side come with four base classes that can be leveled up by completing challenges unique to each class. Class variants can be unlocked via Sticker Packs purchased from the in-game store with coins earned in matches or real world money.

"Keeping Up With the Kardashians" just returned and already there is talk about the premiere episode. For years it has seemed that Kris Jenner has tried to keep up with daughter Kim Kardashian. As the years have progressed, so has the competition. According to a June 10 report from the Huffington Post, the Kardashian girls are less than thrilled with their mother flaunting her body. Jenner prides herself in being a MILF, but it looks like her daughters are embarrassed about it.
The mid-season premiere showed Kris Jenner doing a sexy photoshoot. The Kardashian sisters walked out and were shocked at what they saw. Both Khloe and Kourtney Kardashian made lewd comments about their mom, which Jenner didn't take well. It appears that Kim Kardashian thinks her mother should act more her age, which is 58-years-old. Jenner feels like if you got it, you should flaunt it.
Twitter has been buzzing about Kris Jenner and her see-through photoshoot from the mid-season premiere of "Keeping Up With the Kardashians." Forget the fact that Kourtney Kardashian announced she was pregnant with her third child or that Khloe Kardashian was obviously having a hard time moving on with her life, everyone is talking about how hot Jenner is in her later years.
Fans are now up to the daunting task of choosing who is the bigger MILF, Kim Kardashian or Kris Jenner. It seems that even Kardashian's best friends want to hang out with Jenner, which makes her a little angry. Jenner has repeatedly said age is just a number, but is that applicable when hanging out with your daughter's besties? The bottom line here is that many feel like Jenner is going through a mid-life crisis and looking to keep herself relevant in the eyes of the media while Kim Kardashian is garnering a bunch of attention for just being herself.

79th min: England are running ti from their tryline. The make 30 metres but eventually are bundled into touch. They must win the lineout against the throw or their World Cup is over.
77th min: Game on. England are back Mark Cueto has scored. The TMO confirms it after multiple replays. Reminscent of the 2007 final with the same player. The movement started with Matt Banahan who burst through the French defence. Play got meesy but it eventually ended up with Cueto who scored. But the conversion is missed. FRANCE 19 ENGLAND 12.
75th min: England have a penalty inside the quarter. The three points is of no use. They go for the lineout with five minutes to go.
73rd min: Eventually France opt for the drop kick and Trinh-Duc does not miss. FRANCE 19 ENGLAND 7. England now nmeed to score two tries.
72nd min: France are going with multiple pick-and-drvies and are inching close and close to tyhe England tryline. Heoric defence by England but it is not enough to win the game. England need the ball.
71st min: France are camped down on England's line. How are the English going to get out of this? France scrum feed 15 metres out.
69th min: England are panicking. They thrwo the ball around willy nilly inside their 22 and knock-on. Great attacking oppoturnity for France. England must re-gain their composure or they are gone.
68th min: It's a huge rolling maul. They drive it nearly 20 metres but England stop the maul and evnetually Steve Walsh blows up play and awards the scrum feed, quite correctly, to England. Aurelien Rougerie is coming off. Some say he is too slow, but he has been a real handful in the midfield tonight.
67th min: But perhaps I speak to soon. England pile on the pressure. They threaten to break the line several times but eventually Toby Flood turns it over and Trinh-Duc hoofs it into space. Matt Banahan boots it into touch but France are the big winners. They have the lineout throw 30 metres out from England's line.
65th min: England are trying to speed the game up. They get a penalty and take a quick tap. Perhapds they should kick for the corner instead. The quick tap reeks of panic.
64th min: The breakdown contest has been fierce. Wilkinson off and Banahan is on. Wigglesworth comes on for Youngs.
63rd min: England hold and France knock-on.
61st min: France have driven the English back, but the men in white maintain possession and eventually start dominating the advantage line. France get the turnover and boot it down field. Chris Ashton is set upon on England's 22. And possession is turned over again. France on the attack.
60th min: And they get another penalty from the lineout. England get 60 easy metres.
59th min: Trinh-Duc has kicked for the corners (successfully) twice in as many minutes. But England this time get a relieving penalty.
58th min: Francois Trinh-Duc is on for France which suggests are more conservative game plan. France have the ball 40 metres out from England's line.
55th min: England are back. They finally get some field position and the ball goes through the hands. Nimble footwork from Ben Foden opens up the French defence and he strolls over. Wilkinson to have a shot. FRANCE 16 ENGLAND 7.
51st min: It's a mistake-athon for England. Now their best player Manu Tuilagi is making mistake. France surge in numbver but play eventually play breaks down. England are in real trouble because France are back in the ascendancy.
49th min: England are getting monstered on the halfway line. Time after time they are being driven back and eventually Steve Walsh blows up play and awards the scrum feed to France. Major injury concern for Toby Flood. Matt Stevens is off as is Louis Deacon. Simon Shaw and Alex Corbisiero is on. Imanol Harinordoquy has been enormous for France.
47th min: Lawes is playing blindside flanker replacing Tom Croft who has a head knock. France have the ball 35 metres out. They must keep attacking England, if they try to shut up shop England will get a sniff. As it is, England get a penalty for France holding on at the breakdown.
46th min: England eventually knock on and France have the scrum feed two metres on their side of halfway. Courtney Lawes is on for England. Can he recapture his 2010 form to save England.
45th min: Box kick by Yachvili sees England pinned on halfway. They keep possession but cannot make ground.
44th min: They win the lineout and embark on a series of pick and drives. England are going to be conservative and grind out the points, but alas they knock on. France scrum 10 metres out.
43rd min: England have possession on halfway. And France concede a penalty. A bit of a shaky start in the second half for Les Bleus. The first half started the same way. Jonny Wilkinson opts to kick for the corner. England plan to assault the tryline.
41st min: Play is underway and Toby Flood immediately plays for field position. Medard's response is not so convincing but France end up with the scrum feed on halfway.
That's halftime. France are on top, but England have shown they can create opportunities. The key for England is they must start applying scoreboard pressure on France early in the second-half. I would drag Wilkinson off, but the problem is they have a 5-2 bench split and who would they bring on? Halfback Richard Wigglesworth or fullback/winger Matt Banahan? Neither of them can play in the centres. Again the worrying stat for England is that they scored only 13 against Argentina and 16 against Scotland.
40th min: And then get so very close. Cueto is dragged down just two metres short of the line by Julien Bonnaire. But then he gets up and gets in the way of the pass from Ben Youngs at the next breakdown
39th min: England in a last attempt to score points in the first half. They have run from their own 22 and now 40 metres out from France's line.
36th min: Things not going well for England. Parra puts a massive kick down field and Foden plays on quickly but the referee assistant says Foden carried it out in the act of attempting the quick throw.
33rd min: England are by no means out of this contest but they must keep France from scoring again befroe halftime. Of biggest concern for England is that they only scored 13 points against Argentina and 16 against Scotland.
31st min: Thierry Dusautoir storms through and is just dragged down. But it's in vain as France spins it to the left flank and Alexis Palisson scores in the corner. Lievremont is almost laughing. TRY! FRANCE 16 ENGLAND 0 as Yachvili misses the conversion.
30th min: England's lock Louis Deacon gives away a silly penalty. And now France have the lineout throw 15 metres out from England's line.
28th min: Play breaks down when the two wingers Ashton and Cueto manufacture a knock-on.
27th min: Tuilagi puts England back on the front foot with a storming run. He swats French defenders away like flies now England are working through the phases on France's 22.
26th min: Play breaks down and Toby Flood is forced to have a drop goal attempt. It was a wobbly old effort.
24th min: This is a real danger sign for England. They were able to beat Scotland last week because the Scots were not able to convert their dominence into points. France are doing that. England are now on the attack 30 metres out. Can they find some fluency?
23rd min: TRY, try to France. Vincent Clerc skips over after a brilliant attacking move. Clerc sliced through about 30 metres out after slick hands from Morgan Parra. He spins out of the tackle from Foden and dives over. Yachvili misses the conversion. It was Wilkinson who was found out in defence there. FRANCE 11 ENGLAND 0.
21st min: France win the defensive lineout and are back on the attack.
19th min: England are under real pressure. France are winning every contest at the moment. First Imanol Harinordoquy beats Ben Foden to the high ball and then a clever kick through sees England knoc-on 10 metres out. But France have muffed the scrum and Steve Walsh awards the scrum feed to England. And the men in white get the scrum lottery, I mean penalty.
17th min: England have possession, something they have lacked in the last five minutes but they concede another penalty. This one is 45 metres out and Dimitri Yachvili is absolutely nailing his kicks at the moment. Marc Lievremont is smiling in the stands. Something must be up. Yachvili misses on this occasion.
16th min: Dimitri Yachvili has nailed it. FRANCE 6 ENGLAND 0.
15th min: England started well but are are now under real pressure from France. Matt Stevens now penalised for collapsing the scrum and Dimitri Yachvili will step up to take the shot.
13th min: France go oh sol close to scoring. They are on fire. Vincent Clerc makes a break down the right flank. There was a hint of obstruction in the movement. England clear the ball from the lineout and Morgan Parra has a poor shot a drop goal that never looked like making it.
12th min: Wilkinson kicks it out on the full from the re-start. Swing Lo Sweet Chariot rings out across Eden Park.
9th min: France look most dangerous on the counterattack as Medard makes the most of a kick return although there was some hint of obstruction. France take it towards halfway and get the penalty with England failing to allow the French to play the ball at the breakdown. Dimitri Yachvili to take a shot 48 metres out. Tuilagi has been enormous for England so far in defence more so than attack. Yachvili kicks it. FRANCE 3 ENGLAND 0.
8th min: Ben Foden takes an up-and-under comfortably in front of the posts. He claims the mark and boots it out. France have the lineout throw 30 metres out but England make the steal.
6th min: France look threatening for a brief second before Tuilagi absolutely smashes Morgan Parra in a tackle but England concede a penalty at the breakdown and France have the lineout throw 25 metres out from England's line.
4th min: England are full of running. Perhaps the argument is true. The English were a product of a grind-it-oiut group featuring Argentina, Romania, Georgia and Scotland.
4th min: The noise behind England is defeaning.
2nd min: And now they spin it to the right flank and Maxime Medard must boot it ou five metres from his own line to prevent Chris Ashton from scoring. And France win the defensive lineout and Morgan Parra clears down field.
1st min: Excellent start by England as Manu Tuilagai makes a troming run down the left flank.

During the recent storm the Pilgrim Nuclear Plant lost offsite power and had to shut down and go on back up Emergency Diesel Generators to control the reactors. This plant is the same vintage as Fukushima unit 1. A diesel generator shutdown would cause a Fukushima type disaster. This is how close we are to wiping out Boston.
Pilgrim Nuclear Plant
re: Pilgrim Nuclear Plant
Say it aint so!
No Nukes!
re: Pilgrim Nuclear Plant
And how much diesel fuel do they have in case of emergency??
Last I heard was they only have enough for 12 hours maybe 24 hours at most. The good smart planners think they can get regular power back up within that timeframe.
Well tell that to people of Katrina, Sandy, Andrew and few others. 24 hours turned out to be about a week for some and even longer for others.
If you don't believe me go read the emergency/disaster manuals/requirements/rules and reg.
Explaining to the residents: that all of the equipment are wroking fine. It's just that it ran out of fuel for the backup power. Hey you know it worked pretty darn well and worked as planned but something are just bit out of our control. Weather being one of them. Call it act of GOD. Sorry about that!!
re: Pilgrim Nuclear Plant
Sandy and now this latest winter storm are stark reminders of the serious consequences we face from climate change and aging nuclear power plants. A recent study found warming sea surface temperatures in our oceans means North Atlantic storms will become larger and more intense. This may be the new normal. Given the fact that nuclear power plants are often located in coastal areas, like Pilgrim, makes them particularly vulnerable to extreme weather events, storm surges, marine debris that can clog intake structures, sea level rise and prolonged power outages. These risks can disrupt cooling systems and lead to overheating, fires and/or radiation releases. They are inherently unsafe because of their locations.
re: Pilgrim Nuclear Plant
Actually nuclear power plants are located near population centers, which just happen to mostly be near coasts (There are 15 plants within 50 miles of Chicago)

Draconic language
this wiki
Alphabet and punctuationEdit
Draconic is one of the earliest languages, influencing or creating the language of kobolds, lizardfolk, and troglodytes. The script is believed to have been influenced by the Dwarven runes, but Dragons themselves are unwilling to admit this connection. Draconic script is also used to write the elemental languages of Auran and Ignan. Punctuation is the same as English, with the exception of a special character consisting of six lines radiating outwards, similar to a fireburst (*). When this character is written, the word is spoken with both the first and last syllable stressed. Dragons often use this when referring to themselves, for example, the dragon Karajix would be written *Karajix* and pronounced "KA-raj-IX".[2]
Basic grammarEdit
Draconic is a language of hard consonants and sibilants that usually sounds like hissing when spoken. It inculdes sounds that sound very snake-like to humans, including: sj, ss, and sv. It also includes a sound similar to a creature clearing its throat, like the German "ach". Words which modify other words can be placed before, or after, the words they modify. However the most important word is always placed before, and sometimes, for added emphasis, might be added after as well. A dragon that wanted to say a big, black, evil dragon was coming near, but wanted to emphasise might say: Malsvir darastrix turalisj vutha gethrisj leirith [evil dragon big black go near]
Or Malsvir darastrix turalisj vutha malsvir gethrisj leirith [evil dragon big black evil go near]
Generally, the Draconic sentence follows the order of Subject Verb Object, though the Subject may be omitted if it is understood or part of a command. Also, if a sentence is a command, and written, is will often include the previously mentioned "fireburst" symbol (*). Draconic has no word for "my" or "mine", but uses a series of prefixes, depending on the exact meaning. An object that is claimed a dragon speaker would begin with "veth" or "vethi", a being with a relationship to the speaker, such as friend or relative, begins with "er" or "erthe", and all other forms of the possesive begin with "ar" or "ari". For example, for a dragon to say "my sword", or "the sword is mine", he only needs to say "vethicaex". Or, to say "my enemy", he would say "arirlim". To indicate possession by another, the name of the possessor is combined with the object into a single word and prefaced with "ar" or "ari". For example, to say "my enemy's sword" he would say "arirlimcaex".[2]
Other notesEdit
Draconic is one of the oldest languages, according to the Dragons, second only to the language of the "outsiders". Also, it is speculated that the reason so many reptilian races spoke a form of Draconic was not because they were related physically to dragons, but because at some point early in their history the dragons had enslaved them. There are dialects of Draconic for each of the various species of dragon, but the differences are very small and can often only be heard by dragons themselves. So, someone who learns Draconic from a red dragon will be able to communicate with a blue or gold dragon. Draconic itself has not changed in hundreds of years.[2]

College Hockey:Providence Gets Rare Win in Maine
ORONO, Maine — Since 1986, the Providence Friars have had only one victory at Alfond Arena.
On Friday night, they doubled that win total.
Anchored by the superb play of netminder Tyler Sims who hauled in 20 saves, the Friars destroyed Maine 4-0 and earned their first shutout ever at Alfond.
In one of the worst home defeats of the Tim Whitehead era, Providence (13-8-1, 10-4-1) used a well-balanced attack and a commendable defense to shock the No. 12 Black Bears.
With both teams positioned low in the first Pair Wise Rankings of the year, the game carried with it extra importance.
"This sends a huge message for us," said Sims. "We lost the last two games to Boston College and UMass-Lowell and I really think we needed to come back with a win. Otherwise people might start saying we were a fluke in the first half."
"We know we are not a fluke and tonight we came out and proved it," said Sims. For the Black Bears (14-9-0, 7-7-0), the pounding marked not only their third straight defeat but also their seventh straight against an opponent over .500.
"We didn't play like a team that was desperate for the win," said forward Maine Brent Shepheard. "If we don't start playing hungrier hockey we are going to be getting a long summer vacation here soon. And none of us want that."
The Friars, who were previously 1-20-1 at Alfond Arena, felt the win was a big statement from a national standpoint.
"One of the things people have been saying about us is that we don't have quality wins on the road," said Carroll. "Coming into Maine we thought hey 'there's no matter opportunity then to win two games in Maine,' well, hopefully two."
And, what about that lopsided record at Alfond? Well, according to Sims that didn't matter this year.
"We just came out with a different strategy tonight then we have in years past," said Sims. "Obviously we have our new coach, everybody has been talking about it, but he really led the charge and told us that we are going to play our game."
Despite being outmanned and outplayed at times during the opening period, Providence was able to score the eventual game winner with just under a minute to go in the first. The goal, coming at 19:04, saw freshman Corey Wild smack in a rebound off a Torry Gadja shot from just above the hash marks. On the ensuing play Gadja broke free after eluding an overmatched Simon Danis-Pepin. With Gadja racing in alone on Maine netminder Matt Lundin, Danis-Pepin failed to get back and cover the open Wild.
"The game was kind of back and forth, we're they came hard in the first 10 minutes and we kind of combated them," said Providence captain Tony Zancanaro. "We came back and scored that gold late in the first period and that really got us going."
"We knew Maine was going to come out hard in the first five minutes and try and get up by one or two, but we knew they would kind of wear down," said Carroll. "We felt our legs and conditioning would come through for us."
Maine forward Brent Shepheard felt the tally severed as a harbinger for the rest of the decision.
"The first period was a good example, we thought we outplayed them and felt pretty good and then they get a goal late," said Shepheard. "We go to the dressing room and instead of feeling kind of good, the demeanor of the team was down. That goal played a really big part and it carried over into the second."
Building off the first period goal, Providence began to take it to the Black Bears in every aspect and eventually doubled their lead. This time the mark came from Jamie Carroll, who registered his seventh of the year off a pass from Colin McDonald.
"It is something we work on all the time in practice," said Carroll about the goal-scoring play. "On the play it went from high and low and Collin made a real nice pass. I didn't think it was going to get through, the defenseman kind of got a stick on it, and put he made a nice hard pass and I was able to get it by the goalie.
"I tried to get it off quicker and catch him off guard. It seemed to work."
Chase Watson recorded his 22 assist on the play.
Special teams continued to play a pivotal role for the rest of the period with Providence shutting down Maine twice on the power play.
"Our special teams were great," said Sims. "I think in the third period they didn't get any shots on their power play and in the second period they might have had one."
The Friars eventually concluded the game 2-for-5 on the power play, using a successful strategy that saw two forwards drop below the red line and create open ice.
"We worked on that in practice this week, you know we had trouble last weekend controlling the puck down low," said Zancanaro. "We did well tonight."
Maine finished 0-for-4.
"We got outplayed pretty thoroughly in that game so it was a very embarrassing game for us," said Whitehead. "To lose at home 4-0, I can't remember the last time that has happened, so it's pretty disappointing. They deserved to win and we deserved the loss."
For Whitehead and the gang, the backbreaker came at 5:50 of the third period when Zancanaro pounced on a loose rebound off Lundin's left leg pad. With not a defender in sight, Zancanaro ripped a mid-level shot into the back of the net.
"2-0 is the worst lead to have, so when you score that third and fourth goal you really put them on their heels," said Zancanaro. "It was a big goal, but we kept going after the net."
"The third goal was the biggest backbreaker of the game," said Sims.
Ten minutes later, Providence added even more salt to the wounds of the Black Bears when Watson tapped in a give-go-pass from Carroll. The goal came at 15:44 of the third period. Dinos Stamoulis also registered an assist on the play.
En route to the victory Providence outshot Maine 27-20.
The squads meet again on Saturday at 7 p.m. for final game of the season series.

OK, OK, I hear ya, this one would have been more impactful outside of Montreal a couple years ago, before Lucian Bute got mugged by Carl Froch. But still, the good people in Canada are amped for the Saturday showdown between light heavyweights Bute, the Romanian-born pugilist who intrigued us as a potential star before his chin was, some say, exposed by the rugged warrior Froch, and Pascal, the Haiti-born hitter best known for two clashes with Bernard Hopkins.
A lot of folks I've spoken to are thinking the 33-year-old lefty Bute will get the W, using an edge in ring generalship to bother Pascal with his right jab, and box his way to a points win, while dropping in the occasional patented left uppercut to remind Pascal that he owns enough power to bother him. At 31-1, with 24 KOs, the biggest question mark on Bute beyond the dented chin is rust, as he last gloved up in November 2012, against B- grade Denis Grachev. He's said that he felt uncertain going into that tussle, understandable since in his previous scrap, he'd been steamrolled by Carl Froch, in England. That TKO5 loss is the sort that often leaves a brain stain, even if publicly you are insisting that you have come back all the way mentally. To that point, Bute had tantalized with some of his work, but detractors noted that his management had usually paired him with past their prime plodders, boxers not known for having blazing hand speed, or fancy footwork. Many fans remember Bute was thrown into deep water, with a lead life-jacket, and saved by the bell against Librado Andrade in 2008. He looked better rematching with Andrade in 2009, and wins over Edison Miranda, Brian Magee, Jean Paul Mendy and Glen Johnson enthralled his rooters, but didn't sway doubters who didn't think Bute deserved to be exalted. I admit I've enjoyed watchign Bute, being impressed with his combos, his ability to remain balance, his accuracy, including dropping in diabolical body shots with both hands at times.
Now, would a win over Pascal do some swaying? Well, the joint, the Bell Centre, will be packed, so the stage will be large and the resultant buzz, with a swell showing, could do Bute's rep a world of good. The 31-year-old Pascal isn't entering the fight on a severe upswing, however. After going 0-1-1 against Hopkins in 2010, and 2011, he only boxed once in 2012, against Aleksy Kuziemski (UD10), and once in 2013 (TKO5 win against George Blades), because of injuries. So, I don't expect him to be at his best against Bute, who if he gets into a rhythm, could win rounds widely against Pascal, who has just 17 KOs enroute to a 28-2-1 record. Kuz and Blades would have been OK choices as sparring partners, but as C-plus or so level pugs, seeing them for 15 rounds won't have sharpened Pascal up to the point he'll need to be at to down Bute, quite possibly. Who reading thinks Pascal could replicate what Froch did, which is impose his will upon Bute, make him fight at a distance he isn't comfortable with, put him on the back foot, put some fear of God in him? Perhaps Pascal is buoyed by the knowledge that Froch didn't do to him what he did to Bute, as Pascal lost to UD12 in a 168 pound title challenge back in 2008...
Judges sometimes diss Pascal on their cards, for lack of activity, and for resorting to one punch at a time-ing, so keep that in mind if we get a distance fight.
Pascal could be helped by tutoring sessions with legend Roy Jones, who's said he has given the ex WBC light heavy champ advice on how to position his feet.
The winner could see themselves getting a date with WBC champ Adonis Stevenson, another Canada resident who does his work on HBO.
Readers, what say you? Who will get the nod in the battle for bragging rights in Montreal, and a possible title crack at 175?
Follow Michael Woods on Twitter.
I really like the 49ers...but after Bute was decimated by Froch, and Pascal had two close fights with the same Froch...deductive reasoning tells me Bute has no chance....I gather Pascal is recovering from various aches and pains, so might not be at his best...I don't think he needs to be at his best to beat Bute, who has the nightmare of a loss that was like drowning...they don't come back from drowning.
Where you been Buzz? I also like Pascal by mid rounds KO. Looking forward to some HBO boxing and the Cuban/Irish heavyweight guy.
Unless he gets timid from the counters, I see Pascal via forceful stoppage.
Pascal By UD.... I wouldn't be shocked if Bute won via an accurately placed liver shot but I dont think he recovered from being defrocked by Froch.
I'm going with the underdog and better technician in Bute. He can win if he boxes and doesn't get into a slugfest. Bute by 12 round UD. Don't sleep on the southpaw.
Leaning towards Bute by a hair or two, just going with the fundamentally better boxer, and thinking the fact he's still in the game is due to a will to actually prove himself.
Wow a Cuban getting beat by an unknown novice.. Irish Mike got a hometown draw but we all saw what happened.
Who will win the Sergey Kovalev vs Andre Ward fight?

Flash Review, 2-22: Tharp's
New Deuce Troupe
They Just Don't Make 'em Like They Used to
By Rosa Mei
Copyright 2001 Rosa Mei
There's been much fuss
about Twyla Tharp's new company as well as its New York premiere,
seen Tuesday at the Joyce Theater...and with good reason. In April,
the Tharp company moves into its first permanent home in a 6,500
square foot converted Civil War-era church near the Brooklyn Academy
of Music. (Kudos to Harvey Lichtenstein, instrumental in the whole
deal.) Additionally, Tharp is finally hunkering down with a new
full-time company after disbanding her own in 1988 to freelance
for companies such as American Ballet Theatre, New York City Ballet,
the Royal Ballet and Paris Opera Ballet. Lots to celebrate. What's
disappointing is that the new work leaves me longing for old school
Twyla, and for the days of Sara Rudner, Tom Rawe and Shelley Washington,
and of "The Fugue" and "Nine Sinatra Songs."
What I love about Tharp,
particularly in her work from the '70s and '80s, is her ability
to create structured chaos on stage. The bodies appear to spill
out of nowhere. The layers are so organically woven together, it's
like watching a freak occurrence of nature. At her best, Tharp is
a brilliant architect, able to build layers of macrostructure and
microaesthetic. The quirky shoulder rolls, the head ticks, the finger
flicks graft seamlessly onto legs of razor precision. The steel
blades slice and dice, step ball change and maneuver through triple
counterpoint with the ease of Joe crossing the street. Watching
Tharp classics such as "Golden Section" and "In the Upper Room"
could bring joy and wisdom to the masses. In my humble opinion.
Then there are the dancers.
Tharp loves her dancers, all technical wizards. In a sense, she
is the epitome of the dancer's choreographer. She doesn't simply
create work to be performed. She creates work to challenge her performers.
Keith Roberts, a member of her new company, has said, "Twyla Tharp
Dance is an adventure that satisfies my soul.... Twyla is giving
us the opportunity of taking everything we've learned and being
free with it. We've been able to rediscover the feeling of why we
love dance."
The makeup of Tharp's
new company differs a bit from her original dance troupe. The new
dancers (new is probably the wrong term since a number of them have
worked with her for many years, some over a decade, but they are
a new ensemble) hail from companies such as ABT, the Joffrey and
NYCB. The new group, which includes Elizabeth Parkinson, Ashley
Tuttle, Benjamin Bowman, Alexander Brady, Keith Roberts and John
Selya, consists of beautifully trained ballet dancers who have dared
to dive into Tharp territory. Their specialties: line, grace, power,
turns, jumps, and strong partnering work. Their weaknesses: running,
falling to the ground, swiveling the hips, and flinging the body
off center.
Perhaps Tharp's earlier
dancers weren't as clean in their lines, perhaps they didn't remain
airborne for quite as many seconds, but, damn, could they run and
fall. When, for example, Shelley Washington ran across the stage,
she didn't look like a dancer prancing, she looked like Flo Jo.
To this day, Sara Rudner remains one of my favorite dancers of all
time. She is so innately able to feel the vibe of a movement and
fix her gaze on 25 different points in space, you can't help but
stare. She makes a simple triplet walk across the floor look like
the finest thing since sliced bread. And Tom Rawe -- part human,
part cheetah.
What struck me most about
the performance of Tharp's new works, "Mozart Clarinet Quintet K.581"
and "Surfer at the River Styx," wasn't that her current dancers
aren't as good as her dancers of days past. Technically speaking,
they are. But I do think that the ability to fall and roll, to drop
your weight and run like you mean it, and to jiggle and fling your
body off center without losing your center, are all techniques.
They're less about position and alignment than about the use of
momentum and about understanding all the transitional elements that
constitute a movement. In that sense, the current group of ballet-trained
dancers fall just short of Tharp's ideal of the complete "cross-over"
Regarding this "cross-over"
notion, Tharp has said a true "crossover" dancer is one who "could
genuinely work as comfortably on the so-called modern techniques
as on the classical techniques, both of which, by the way, are complete
misnomers, but we all know what we try to mean by those words....
In other words, they're authentic."
In discussing her work
on "The Golden Section," a seminal piece from 1983, she has described
it as "an outburst of energy.... It doesn't have to be funneled,
controlled or held in place." It was precisely this ability to make
her choreography convey these outbursts of energy and her radical,
non-linear view of structure, that made Tharp such an iconoclast
in the early days.
Her new works make me
wonder if Tharp's high regard for classical technique and classically
trained dancers has muffled her taste for experimentation. True,
there is a time for "Tank Dive." There is a time for "Mozart Clarinet
Quintet K.581." But is this a reactionary response to a revolutionary
siren? "K.581" is an utterly pretty piece. Its clean form and cheery
complexion bring to mind Paul Taylor's lyrical works, specifically
"Aureole" and "Arden Court": an abundance of balances, lift, lilt,
hitch kick and flexed feet with arms raised in Vs overhead. The
simple trio gives way to group play and whimsical cavorting. A dancer
tosses another and she ends up in his arms a la "Esplanade." Don't
mean to belabor the point, but most of this we have seen before,
and with a clearer center and epilogue. The man sitting next to
me mumbled to his companion, "I'd rather see Jerome Robbins -- very
traditional, but with something extra..."
"Surfer at the River
Styx" is a much more complex piece, mining the legend of Euripides's
Bacchae" for soul and narrative. Donald Knaack's rich score
provides a broad emotional landscape with a mix of ambient mood
and frantic percussion. In "The Bacchae," Pentheus, a proud king
who disrespects Dionysis, is torn apart by the god's female worshippers.
As the Pentheus character, Keith Roberts is proud, regal and resilient.
His counterpart, the man who surrenders to nature, played by John
Selya, literally glides across the stage, boxing and kicking his
way to enlightenment. The remaining dancers perform double duty
as creatures in the underworld and the elements of nature that move
through it. The dancers are given virtuostic moves to execute. Double
tours en l'air and pirouettes ad infinitum. But somehow, the dancers
don't ever really resemble animals or creatures or elements. Something's
lacking in the grit, and I don't really see the carnality of the
actions, although they are hinted at through gestures.
I am grateful, though,
for Tharp's dedication to making this new company work, to building
infrastructure at a time when it almost seems like an impossibility
in the dance world Stateside. I can't help it though. I miss the
messy. And I miss Flo Jo.

March 19, 2008 In terms of need-to-know-NOW, there's nothing quite like sport – baseball, football, basketball, cricket and motor racing provide the most compelling scheduled live news events on the planet, so they're a natural for ambient media devices. Now an entrepreneur has begun building these stunning retro scoreboards using Bluetooth and internet technologies. The $200 Liveboard displays the score, inning, batter count, and base occupancy of the game of your choice – live and without any ongoing fees!Read More

December 19, 2006 The world of ambient media seems to grow more crowded by the day, as advertisers seek an opportunity to cut through the clutter of the myriad adverts which have dulled our awareness to them. In terms of attention, there are few more effective mediums than the mirror where everyone becomes the centre of their own attention. So we're pleased to report that the most effective medium in history now takes advertising. Addirect was founded in 2003 with the idea of bringing together advertising and technical innovation to create highly-targeted ambient media and they have certainly achieved that with the AddMirror. Working exactly like a regular mirror, The AddMirror reveals up to six A4-sized "hidden" advertisements using pre-set lighting sequences. The rationale behind The AddMirror is that it's a dynamic medium for advertisers that compels audiences to engage with their creative work. Simply put, people looking in washroom mirrors cannot fail to see their adverts. Moreover, AddMirrors are strategically located in sites that guarantee high visitor traffic.Read More
November 8, 2006 This is huge we tell ya – huge! We've written about Ambient Devices before – it's a very clever company that produces "glanceable" information displays to provide people with constant awareness of important information, but without increasing anxiety due to information overload. Ambient's vision is to embed information representation into everyday objects such as lamps, pens, watches, walls, and wearables so the physical environment becomes an interface to digital information rendered in subtle changes in form, movement sound, colour or light. Now the company is working on a tabletop clock that integrates and displays your daily calendar schedule and the equally innovative design process is garnering input directly from Google Calendar users. This population consists largely of "Lead Users," defined by Dr. Eric von Hippel from the MIT Sloan School of Management as customers at the "leading edge" that are currently experiencing needs that will later be experienced by the majority (you!). You can setup and test your own online version of the clock here and integrate it into your Google Homepage or Google Desktop and there are alternate designs available for viewing and comment. Like we said ... HUGE!Read More
October 12, 2006 There's always a better way, but sometimes the scale of the change required to do it differently is several orders of magnitude too big. We suspect that was why Professor Richard Conn Henry's proposal of an unquestionably better calendar and time system was never seriously considered. Fortunately, Inventerprise's new way to display time can co-exist with current time systems. The newly patented TWELV system breaks from centuries-old tradition, dispensing altogether with the use of any hour hand or hour digit. Instead, each individual hour of the day is represented solely by one of twelve unique colors. There are some undeniable benefits for the new system though, as it requires a footprint less than half that of standard time format, the colors can be recognized correctly at great distances. It means that one clock beacon could be used as a clock in a city environment. Similarly, ambient lighting or a water fountain or a fishtank can become a clock … and the killer-app is that the footprint for the time display is MUCH smaller than conventional time displays either digital or analog, making it ideal for mobile phones, wearable audio players, and other mobile devices where display space is always at a premium. As for memorizing the colors, just start using the clock and it happens naturally; that's just how the human brain works. The system is patented in the United States, but it's public domain everywhere else. Read More

A GoFundMe page offering support for Darren Wilson, the Ferguson police officer who shot Michael Brown, has angered a number of people who have demanded the page be pulled for allegedly supporting racism, Twitchy reported Thursday. The effort, Twitchy said, is being led by Shaun King, founder of Upfront Media Group, who made the demand on Twitter.
"We are 72 hours away from asking people to never use your platform again," he tweeted. "Clock starts now. Remove that campaign."
GoFundMe, however, did not cave to King's demands, and did not remove the page. On Friday, he repeated his demand, telling GoFundMe it had 12 hours to remove the campaign or face a boycott.
"This page has been created to support Officer Darren Wilson of the Ferguson Police Department," the page said. "We stand behind Officer Darren Wilson and his family during this trying time in their lives."
According to the page, all of the funds raised will go directly to Wilson and his family. But some believe that supporting Wilson is tantamount to supporting ISIS, the militant Islamist group beheading children in Iraq.
One person, for example, said supporting Wilson is "no different than supporting #ISIS. Death is death. Taking one's life should not be rewarded."
King claimed there were "at least" 800 comments he said were racist, but he did not provide any supporting evidence to back up his claim. He also claimed the fundraiser is sponsored by hate groups, but provided no evidence.
In an update, organizers said they were working to remove inappropriate comments and would refund donations from those who really do not support Wilson. One person, for example, donated five dollars under the name "Trayvon Martin," leaving an incomprehensible message. A number of other donations from "trolls" who obviously do not support Wilson were also found, along with messages that could best be described as gibberish.
One five-dollar donation was submitted earlier Friday by a person claiming to be King. The picture on the donation matches the profile picture on King's Twitter account, making it appear that King is the one who left the donation. The donor also left a threatening message on the site.
"You better change your Username, Password, and cancel your Credit Card," the message read. "You should of just let sleeping dogs lie."
But despite King's efforts, the page remains live, and continues to accept donations. As of this writing, the page has raised over $217,000 from over 5,400 donors.

Senior Amy Otteson
May 12, 2012
COLUMBUS, Ohio - The East Carolina women's golf team carded a final round 328 (40-over) to finish 21st at the 2012 NCAA Central Regional, which was being hosted by Ohio State at the par-72, Scarlet Course. The top eight teams out of 24 and two individuals, not from those teams advance to the NCAA Championships.
Senior Amy Otteson closed out her collegiate career with an 18-over par 234 for a share of 50th place finishing atop the Pirates roster. Redshirt sophomore Faith Hardison (236) posted a final round 80 (8-over) to finish tied for 64th, while fellow classmate Fanny Wolte (242) carded a 10-over 82 for a share of 96th place. Rounding out the squad were a pair of freshmen Emily Eng (255) and Katie Kirk (282), who finished 120th and 126th in their first NCAA Regional appearance.
In the team standings, No. 3 USC (874) continued their roll and finished in first place after each round, claiming medalist honors. Vanderbilt (899) stayed in second place for the second day after shooting 11-over 299. Three shots back, Purdue (902) rounded out the leader board in third place after having their best round of golf. The five other teams moving on the NCAA Championships (in order from fourth place finish to eighth): Tennessee, Virginia, Ohio State, North Carolina State, and Arkansas. The Pirates finished with a three-day score of 967 (329-310-318).
The two individuals moving on to the NCAA Championships are Maria Salinas of Florida State and Rocio Sanchez Lobato of Georgia. Salinas finished in a tie for first place overall, shooting 2-under 70 today and completing the tournament at 3-under 213. Sanchez Lobato shot 6-over 222 after three rounds and placed in a tie for 10th place overall.
The NCAA Central Regional rounds out the 2011-2012 season for the Pirates, who posted a 105-68 record and participated in their fifth-straight NCAA Regional.

Selling auctions on the Neutral auction houses (the ones operated by goblins and accessible by both factions) has always been looked at as taboo. Learn how you can make gold off the neutral auction house today!
Neutral Auction House Locations:
What Items Sell the Best in the Neutral Auction House?
- Green Hills of Stranglethorn Quest Items
- Armor/Weapons for levels 35-45 (Tanaris and Stranglethorn levels)
- Enchanting Dusts/Shards for leveling the profession.
- Pets the opposite faction cannot normally aquire.
When selling in the neutral auction houses you have to remember to keep your audience in mind. What level characters will be viewing my items and how much gold will they have? What will those characters be looking for? What items will sell well enough that I will actually make more gold than a normal auction house?
The Green Hills of Stranglethorn quest items are a no brainer. Players visiting their mail box in Stranglethorn will be two inches from an auction house and will most likely take a look to see if any green hills are for sale. That is an easy way to get your items to sell and people expect these items to be on the neutral auction house.
Armor and particularly weapons can be dreadful items to put on the neutral auction house. However, some blues are worth putting up, just be sure to put them up during prime time (4pm -midnight).
It is always worth it to place a few enchanting mats on the auction house, especially since they will not cost you anything to post.
Pets for the opposite faction are the #1 gold maker at the neutral auction house. Post during prime time and put up items like the brown snake from ogrimmar or the cockroach from undercity. People looking for the pet achievement will buy these up for reasonable prices and they don't cost much to post.
As you can see it doesn't hurt to have a lowbie toon in booty bay or another neutral auction house for the sole purpose of posting a few items each week. If you currently are using an alt in winterspring for mining thorium then it is no big deal to have that toon post your items for the neutral auction house.
