You all have heard the term. That's a classic movie, but what exactly does that mean? Well it's rather obvious, the best movies, with the most intriguing characters are the true classics. Whether it is Michael Corleone's journey into darkness or Luke Skywalker following the hero's journey to a tee. Good characters that make us feel for them on every emotional level and good stories that drag us in and never let go, are the reasons we go to the movies. And over time movies such as Star Wars and The Godfather have become true cinema classics.
But there is something much more intriguing, the evolution of what is considered a classic movie. There have been movies that have been thrown away when they come out, only to be rediscovered years later, and rediscovered to be named absolute classics. There are many underlying reasons for this.
Possibly the most skipped over film upon its release is Blade Runner. Blade Runner made only $6.15 million its first weekend all the way back in 1982. Some critics were disappointed that the film was not an action adventure movie that was advertised by the studio. Others thought the film was too slow, and the story took a back seat to the special effects. Stroll ahead some ten to twenty years later and the film is an absolute classic. Why? It's simply one of those movies you need to see twice, and eventually people did. The complexity of the film and the many, many themes of the film really help it stand the test of time, the ambiguity of whether Deckard is a replicant or not really draws people back to the film for repeated viewings. There are even college classes dedicated to understanding this film that's how good and deep it is.
The one thing that Blade Runner and the next film I will talk about, Vertigo, have in common are they are both very dark films with really rather unsympathetic protagonists. Scottie becomes obsessed; Deckard is a prototype Film Noir detective with questionable moral outlook. Another film The Searchers which has recently been re-discovered has John Wayne playing a racist. These films are all dark and make us question humanity, which today with the economy down and the questionable wars being fought in the Middle East. Many people will continue to rediscover these deeper darker films during the upcoming decade. Also with the rather bleak moral outlook on the future in general, films being made will also be influenced in all of this.
Another big film is Alfred Hitchcock's Vertigo. Vertigo upon its release in 1958 was seen as a commercial and critical failure. Critics said it was too slow, and the box office never was really there, lately though this film has been rediscovered as Hitchcock's on true masterpiece. Critics see it as Hitchcock's most personal film dealing with themes that affected him throughout his life, including obsession with falling in love with a particularly kind of women instead of just one woman. So why did they see this now and not 40 years ago? The answer nobody is sure why, but one thing for sure is film classics are always constantly evolving.

Esperanza Spalding's release date is quickly approaching (this Tuesday), and now she's on NPR with a review and full-album stream. Today is the last day to listen, so head to NPR now for a glimpse at the future of Jazz.
Photo Recap: SVEDKA Vodka Sessions; A Special Performance By José James – August 3
After giving an amazing performance last week in Boston at the beautiful Woodward at Ames, José James zipped back to New York City to make an appearance later that week at the Lincoln Center. Along with Robert Glasper and Bilal on the bill these gentlemen thrilled the audience and made very clear, just how unclear the line between jazz and soul can be. Check out what the New York Times had to say about him, and about the re-emergence of jazz in the mainstream.
Daptone Records' Budos III
Our friends at Daptone Records have a new release out this week: the third album from Budos Band, titled Budos Band III. Produced by Bosco Mann and TNT at "House of Soul Studios" in Bushwick, Brooklyn, the band's third full-length studio effort was conceived during weekly, beer-fueled Staten Island writing sessions – as well as more than 150 live gigs over the last two years – and recorded during a 48 hour period in January 2010.
If the menacing album art, which features a cobra primed for the attack, is any indication of the music itself, we can expect an all out assault of the senses, with a tendency towards the venomous and psychedelic.
The Budos Band: "Unbroken, Unshaven" [MP3]
Get the album directly from Daptone for vinyl with exclusive non-album tracks and more.
Obama's Favorite Standup Bassist/Singer/Composer Esperanza Spalding to Release New Album
With her sophomore effort Chamber Music Society on the way, check out the preview for Esperanza Spalding's album and see why Barack says, "I love listening to Esperanza, she is wonderful."
The innovative album that combines jazz, folk, and world music with the enduring foundations of classical music will hit shelves August 17th via Heads Up International, a division of Concord Music Group. Chamber Music Society features the legendary Milton Nascimento, pianist Leo Genovese, and vocalist Gretchen Parlato, among others.
"It's clear Esperanza's definitely got game – and has no hang-ups about showing it." —Vibe Magazine
"Whether exploding into vocalese or making her bass solo sound like a horn, she's a spark plug who dances as she grooves through a funked-up and rocked-out repertoire." — Billboard "Faces to Watch"
"Esperanza has got a lot: accomplished jazz improvisation, funk, scat singing, Brazilian vernacular rhythm and vocals in English, Portuguese and Spanish. At its center is a female bassist, singer and bandleader, one whose talent is beyond question." — New York Times

Isolation and characterization of bacteria ...
|Isolation and characterization of bacteria associated with a Penaeus stylirostris disease (Syndrome 93) in New Caledonia
|R. Costa, I. Mermoud, S. Koblavi, B. Morlet, P. Haffner, F. C. J. Berthe, M. Legroumellec, P. Grimont
|Start page
|End page
|Since 1993, significant mortality outbreaks of Penaeus stylirostris usually during winter, have been reported from grow out ponds in New Caledonia. During the mortality peaks in 1994 and 1995, moribund and apparently healthy shrimps were collected from all New Caledonian farms for bacteriological and histological studies in order to describe the `Syndrome 93' disease. Hemolymph was collected aseptically and spread on to Marine agar 2216E and TCBS agar (Difco). Hemolymph from apparently healthy shrimps was generally sterile. Each contaminated hemolymph contained various bacteria, most of the time Vibrionaceae, but also Pseudomonas spp., Flavobacterium spp., Acinetobacter spp., Cytophaga spp., Moraxella spp., Flexibacter spp., Alteromonas spp. and Bacillus spp. In contrast, moribund shrimps were always infected with Vibrionaceae and sometimes a combination of Vibrionaceae and Pseudomonas sp. Preliminary identification studies based on morphological, physiological and biochemical characteristics including testing for the utilization of 100 sources of carbon, show that one particular group of Vibrio sp. was present and predominant in shrimps collected throughout farms in New Caledonia. Molecular chemistry techniques like ribotypic patterns and DNA-DNA hybridization were applied, as a complement to conventional identification methods, to 18 selected strains from moribund shrimps randomly selected from nine mortality peaks. They showed the presence of two different groups of Vibrio sp., provisionally called `Noum e a 1' and `Noum e a 2' for the purpose of this study. The Vibrio belonging to the first group have been identified as Vibrio penaeicida. Identification of the second group is now in progress, and it is already clear that these bacteria belong to a different species. Toxin production capacity and experimental pathogenicity of these species are currently being studied. Some identified V. penaeicida strains demonstrated a very high virulence. The etiological role of these bacteria is also being investigated, particularly through the search for a suitable experimental model.

LOS ANGELES (LALATE) – Jackie Chan is not dead. An old, fake Jackie Chan death report that has swirled online for three years is back striking the actor again today. Chan hasn't died this January 2013, but fans are left perplexed. Aiding the confusion are a series of false Facebook "RIP Jackie Chan" pages still live from last year.
Jackie Chan is the first major celebrity of 2013 to be struck by a fake death report. For Chan, it's all too familiar. Since 2010, the beloved actor was targeted by a series of erroneous tales. But unlike other celebrities, Chan has often fought back, issuing news statements denying the absurd allegations.
In March 2011, Chan issued a news statement through his rep. At the time, Chan was furious that a Facebook Jackie Chan RIP page listed him dead that week of a heart attack. In August that same year, Chan was under another attack, but from a different source. Chan took to his own Facebook account to denounce false news of his passing. "Jackie is alive and well and working hard on his next movie!" his rep told news. "Don't believe the latest death rumors."

From that year through roughly 2012, however, Chan was the victim of fake claims from Global Associated aka Mediafetcher. Most often, the fake storyline claimed that Chan had died of a ski accident.
And despite how many times the actor has had issue news statements dispelling false death reports, the fake stories still seemed to come back to life. "Jackie is alive and well. He did not suffer a heart attack and die, as was reported on many social networking sites and in online news reports," his Facebook page read in response to yet another fake claim, once before. "Jackie is fine and is busy preparing for the filming of his next movie."

On Tuesday, Chan told news "Friends exist all over the world; we are all neighbors from the ends of the earth. Happy New Year! All the best for 2013!" Jackie Chan is alive, as is Lil Wayne, Morgan Freeman, and Miley Cyrus.

We'd love to hear from you
Call me back
Fill in Your details and we'll call you
Your content is growing but is your system for managing it evolving to cope? It is not simply the amount of content, but its growing diversity and complexity. Through all of this data your employees are trying to find knowledge; knowledge to solve problems, help customers, develop products and make decisions. They don't need content, they need the answer to their question.
Finding accurate information can be an employees most time consuming task and once they have found the content they have to assume that it's up to date. But without robust document management in place this can quite often be a near impossible goal. Enterprise Content is diverse - both geographically and by type, it's very often living and generated by collaboration. Efficient businesses make it simple for employees to find, discover and create content with tagging and workflow being an intuitive aid rather than a cumbersome burden. Relevant and reliable content allows businesses to solve problems faster, help customers more effectively and allows people to get on with what they do best.
Information gets created every day from emails to images.
Without effective document management this information gets stored in a plethora of places from file servers to employee hard drives to USB sticks and the cloud. The more disparate the storage locations, the less usable that information becomes for the
organization and the longer it takes to find the right information. This situation generates inefficiencies in your
organization as people spend more time searching or duplicating effort:
good document management saves time.
Regulation requires control, but even in businesses that don't operate in a regulated environment document management can bring legal and compliance benefits. With document management you have a
single version of the truth for any point in time, and you can prove it. If you don't have document management, old versions of important documents can persist and proving which document was current at a point in time is difficult. SharePoint 2013 Document management is risk mitigation for your
organization in a situation where there is no benefit for taking that risk.
The world is an increasingly impatient place and your customers are busy people. Should you make them wait for information? They don't think so. Document management can help you deliver better customer service without increasing headcount by making your information more accessible, faster. Seamless integration of
extranet self-service portals with specified document stores allows your customers to find the knowledge they need faster themselves.
SharePoint document management also speeds up the response time of your customer contact staff in finding the answers to the questions they get asked by your customers.
Bringing the documents and data together is only part of a good document management solution. BrightStarr works with its clients to develop the right data taxonomies, powerful records management and customized search. Our work allows your organization to maximize SharePoint's inherent abilities and functions in a way that works best for your business. We make it simpler for users to store data in a way that benefits the whole organization, utilizing single drop off points and sharing through the cloud. Enterprise search can index both internal and external data sources bringing the knowledge your employees need under a single umbrella. We have the experience to help you with SharePoint 2010 and SharePoint 2013 document management.
BrightStarr's approach follows a proven methodology to deliver individually tailored solutions for each of our clients. Working with us you can be confident in a successful project outcome as our highly qualified team apply the thousands of hours of SharePoint expertise gained working with organizations facing similar challenges. Application of our knowledge and proven methodology ensures we develop and deploy the best possible solution that will serve your organization well now and into the future.

Dance India Dance (DID) L'iL Masters on Zee TV
According industry insiders, the channel decided to extend the show into a children's version because there were several kiddie contestants who came to the auditions this season, but weren't selected because of their age. One has to be over 18 years to participate in any reality show.
Another viewpoint that analysts have is that the new show is being launched to compete with Chak Dhoom Dhoom, a kids' dance contest on their rival channel, Colors, which will be judged by Ahmed Khan, Saroj Khan and Vindu Dara Singh.
The show is expected to be on air by the week after Dance India Dance Season Two ends, in the last few weeks of March. The channel also plans to go all the way with the auditions, which will be conducted across 18 cities.

Went to GW with daughter & her friends for her birthday. We've been doing this for years - can't tell you how disappointed everyone was about number of trees that have disappeared from the meadow - children were gutted.

New Zealand is the most remote country in the developed world. This means we need to have one of the most effective and efficient global supply chains to level out the international playing field.
We need the ability to operate with greater certainty around how we get our products to and from distant markets, and we need transit times and reliable schedules that will allow New Zealand exporters to meet and exceed customer expectations.
We can best achieve this by working together to support the creation of service improvements that will not only serve us in the short-term but take us forward into the next century.

Hi - I'm committing code for PR 1425. It adds a baby preprocessor to the parser, to allow a script to include or exclude tokens based on the target kernel version. For now, the version string comparison is done with a routine from rpmlib, which is henceforth a prerequisite. From the amended man page: A simple conditional preprocessing stage is run as a part of parsing. The general form is similar to the cond ? exp1 : exp2 ternary opera- tor: %( CONDITION %? TRUE-TOKENS %) %( CONDITION %? TRUE-TOKENS %: FALSE-TOKENS %) The CONDITION is a very limited expression consisting of three parts. The first part is the identifier kernel_vr or kernel_v to refer to the kernel version number, with ("2.6.13-1.322FC3smp") or without ("2.6.13") the release code suffix. The second part is one of the six standard numeric comparison operators <, <=, ==, !=, >, and >=. The third part is a string literal that contains an RPM-style version-(Continue reading)
re- lease value. The condition is deemed satisfied if the version of the target kernel (as optionally overridden by the -r option) compares to the given version string. The comparison is performed by the RPM li- brary function rpmvercmp. The TRUE-TOKENS and FALSE-TOKENS are zero or more general parser tokens (possibly including nested preprocessor conditionals), and are pasted into the input stream if the condition is true or false. For example, the following code induces a parse er- ror unless the target kernel version is newer than 2.6.5: %( kernel_v <= "2.6.5" %? **ERROR** %) # invalid token sequence The following code might adapt to hypothetical kernel version drift: probe kernel.function (

FRESNO, Calif. - For the second straight year, the Fresno State softball team recently took part in one of the area's most inspirational fall events - the Central Valley Walk to Defeat ALS.
Many of the team members were already familiar with the event after they joined head coach Trisha Ford and junior Taylor Green in last year's event - an event very personal to the catcher from Chino Hills, Calif.
Green's father, Steve, was diagnosed with ALS in 2003 and has been fighting the disease for the past decade.
Also referred to as Lou Gerhig's disease, Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a disease of the nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord that control voluntary muscle movement, and causes muscle weakness and atrophy throughout the body.
"It's been a rocky road, but he's doing better than last year," Green said. "The coaches and softball team are like a family to me, and having them participate in the walk was really special. I'm fortunate to have had him around for 10 years and hopefully for 10 more years."
Besides helping boost awareness to the cause, the Bulldogs helped raise nearly $1,000 for the local chapter and were among 400 participants at the walk on October 26 at Copper River Ranch - nearly double last year's total (250).
"We always want to be active in the community," Ford said, "and this is an important event in many ways. It was good for our players to support a cause near and dear to us and get a closer glimpse into these families' lives. Have some of the players' families participate and being able to raise money made it even more special."
Green is deeply appreciative of how important her mom has been in helping her father and family remain strong. She provides daily care for her father and helps coordinate the family's travel to Bulldog home games where they sit along the third-base line.
"My mom is so awesome," Green said. "She has to deal with a lot as the head of the family, and her time management is amazing. She's taught me to be a strong person and believe that everything in life happens for a reason. My dad coached me from T-ball until club ball, so still having them there in the stands means a lot, and he always gives me a wink when I'm on the field."
Green chose kinesiology and exercise science as a major so that she can make a difference in others' lives as a career. With an interest in cardiovascular or respiratory therapy, she knows she can help others both physically and emotionally.
"When you walk into a hospital it's usually not a good thing so I want to be able to help," Green said. "(When I give advice to others) I tell them it's not going to be easy, and there will be bumps in the road. However, there's also stuff to look forward to. Helping people around you is what really matters, and showing that you can still make positive changes in others' lives."

California is suffering from a drought in 2014. Nothing new here. California has suffered from droughts for centuries and will for centuries into the future. California is mostly a desert after all, something that most people forget with all that's been paved over.
The water shortage has some people behaving erratically. "Twitter tattletales" and other not so alliterative terms like "drought-shaming" are the new busybody activity in the Golden (brown) State.
It also can rain very hard in California. I remember laughing at a response Johnny Carson gave to David Letterman after he retired to southern California from The Tonight Show. "How's it going?" Letterman asked by telephone. "Great," Carson responded. "The mudslides are putting out all the forest fires." (rimshot)
California is ranked 40th of all the states in annual precipitation with an average of 22.2 inches a year. And, as you already know, California ranks first in population with 38.3 million people.
And, it is the population of California that makes the weather matter. In 1900 California's population was approximately 1.5 million people. By mid century it was 10.5 million. By 2000 it had grown to 34 million and is currently officially estimated at 38.3 million.
I say "estimated" because the 2010 Census count, at least in California, is suspect for the reason that a very large number of illegal aliens went unreported.
I know this because of what happened during the Census. The orders were to count everyone, illegal alien or not. The problem was that the illegals, most of them, didn't want to be counted. They didn't want to talk to anybody from the government. I heard continual reports from various enumerators that Spanish speaking people refused to cooperate. They didn't want to answer questions, however benign. The workers knew where the pockets of illegal aliens were located and had interpreters available for almost every language, certainly Spanish, and they were hardly requested.
One story I heard repeatedly was that after a knock on the door a young teenager would answer, speaking perfectly good English, and then would tell the parent(s) in Spanish or English that a census taker was there. These anchor babies knew very well what was going on and how harmless it was to answer Census questions and would explain it to the parent(s) in English and Spanish. But, frequently the parent would walk over and simply push the door shut without a word, leaving the kids with a slightly embarrassed look on their face.
There is no way to estimate the undercount in California, but it has to have been substantial.
What's the connection between a flawed census and a drought?
California's water demands are population driven. As the population grows, from internal migration, legal immigration and illegal aliens, the demands on the limited water grows, obviously.
Whenever I talk to someone about the problems of illegal immigration and get some smart-aleck response about how illegal immigration doesn't matter I ask, "So, what's your number?"
"Huh? What?" they inevitably respond.
The conversation usually continues like this:
What's your optimum population number for the country and the state? Because there are at least 4 million illegal crossings a year into our country. The country's population is estimated to grow to 500 million, that's half a billion, people by 2050, only 36 years off. So, what's your number?" (Innocent shrug.)
You're racist, man!" (Fleeing.)
Et cetera.
One would think that environmentalists like, oh, the Sierra Club, would be concerned about the environmental problems of population growth and mass immigration, since that is where all of America's population growth is coming from, but…no.
Now, some estimate California's real population at closer to 45 million people. Some have said we're closer to 50 million than the official number of 38 million.
The investment banking firm of Bear Stearns estimated in 2005 that there were 20 million illegal aliens in the United States. That was nine years ago! Anybody today who is using the 11 million number for illegal aliens is either stupid or corrupt. Don't believe the number, don't believe them.
Whatever the official population number, it is inflated by illegal immigration which puts demands on infrastructure and exacerbates the drought.
Here's a little challenge. Try to find a story in the mainstream media tying California's drought woes to population growth, let alone illegal immigration.
And, if anybody tries to "drought shame" you, bring up the immigration thing. Have some fun with it. Don't forget to shrug, innocently.
Good luck.
You have enemies? Good. That means you've stood up for something, sometime in your life. --Winston Churchill

According to a June 9 report from MMA Junkie, Albuquerque native Diego Sanchez (27-7) put the entire UFC lightweight division on notice with an impressive victory over hard-hitting British slugger Ross Pearson. Sanchez, 32, put such a beating on Pearson (15-7) that one official judge scoring UFC Fight Night 42, saw it 30-27 in his favor. The other two judges were split, with one seeing it 27-30 for Pearson and the other scoring it 29-28 in Sanchez's favor.
Pearson and his camp lodged an appeal with the New Mexico Athletic Commission because they feel he was robbed of a victory at UFC Fight Night 42. Sure its true that Pearson landed more overall strikes, 51-33, and at the higher percentage, 41 percent to 24 percent. Pearson also had the fight's only takedown and knockdown. However, Sanchez's effective aggressiveness may have been the difference-maker.
While Pearson moved side to side or back-peddled, Sanchez pressed forward while landing legal strikes. As for the takedown Pearson landed, he didn't do much with it. Far more important was Sanchez's willingness to engage, and dictate the pace of the bout. Of course effective striking and grappling are key components of the 10-Point Must Scoring System in MMA, but control of the fighting area and effective aggressiveness are just as important.
Sanchez was never hurt during his UFC Fight Night 42 bout against Pearson. In fact, Sanchez appeared to have Pearson momentarily wobbled in the third frame. Had the bout gone to a fourth or fifth round, who knows what could have happened? In all likelihood, Sanchez would have earned a knockout finish had the fight gone a bit longer. "The Nightmare" is used to training at elevation, so he had the advantage as far as cardio goes.
The longer the fight, the better off he would have been. Unfortunately, Sanchez only had three rounds to work with. Pearson would like to rematch Sanchez in England, but the UFC may have other plans in store for both men. Sanchez's impressive performance may have propelled him into the top 15 in the UFC's lightweight division.
His win over Pearson may have set him up for a fight against a top 10 contender. After that, Sanchez could arguably be in the mix for a title shot. The 32-year-old Sanchez has been a perennial contender since his UFC debut in 2005. It would be a shame if he never gets a crack at the UFC's lightweight strap.

Study: Teens Skimp on the Exercise
When it comes to staying physically active, teenagers take a nosedive; 9-year olds get about 3 hours per day, while 15-year olds only get about 49 minutes during the week and even less on weekends. More from Tara Parker-Pope of The New York Times:
While researchers have long believed that childhood activity wanes as kids enter their teen years, the study is unique because it followed about 1,000 children from around the country over time and used activity monitors to carefully track moderate to vigorous physical activity at various ages. The findings show clearly that even the most active young children experience a precipitous drop in physical activity as they hit puberty.I'm not a parent, but I think it starts with the parents. My mom has always exercised A LOT and it certainly rubbed off on me. As early as 7th grade I started developing workout routines.
"I was surprised by the degree of the drop – it's a dramatic shift," said Dr. Philip R. Nader, emeritus professor of pediatrics at the University of California-San Diego. "Younger children appear to be naturally active, but as kids get older, they find fewer opportunities to be active."
The activity study was part of the ongoing Study of Early Childcare and Youth Development, a 15-year look at the health of American children funded by the National Institutes of Health. Unlike many childhood activity studies, the latest research didn't rely on parents to report a child's activity. Instead the children wore accelerometers – devices that measure movement – for a week at a time during the ages of 9, 11, 12 and 15.
Overall, boys were more active than girls, moving on average, 18 more minutes a day. The age of 13 appeared to be a particularly vulnerable time – that's the point for both boys and girls that weekend activity dropped below the 60 minute mark.

Carspotters' Challenge #138: The Last Traffic Jam
"The traffic jam. Scourge of the 20th century city life. Raiser of blood pressure. Disruptor of supply chains. Stealer of bed-time stories…"
Grabs your attention, doesn't it? It did for me, until I realized this was a tech commercial. Then my attention waned. I'm not going to dedicate this particular post to the discussion of traffic jams in general, how bad they are, how they make me feel or the technologies involved in making them go away in the future a reality. Why would I want to use a traffic jam as a Carspotters' Challenge? Well, have a look:
As far as "traffic jams" go, this one at least has some interesting iron on display, for car-people at least. What's also interesting is the eclectic mix: old, not-so old, North-American, European, UK, etc.

TC TO JOHN RUSKIN; 23 May 1855; DOI: 10.1215/lt-18550523-TC-JRU-01; CL 29: 317-318
Chelsea, 23 May, 1855—
Dear Ruskin,
There is clearly nothing to be made of that Grampus Wake:1 the leather jerkin of George Fox has buttoned him up from the sight of Sun and Moon.2 We (that is, you) fairly offered him human help, if he would have had it.
I am very sorry to hear of your coughing and continued sickliness. Be patient, quiet;—this is a monition to you to take more time! My impression generally has been that you go too fast; in many senses, this;—and that you will have to learn the other side of the business too,—what infinite profit there occasionally is in sitting absolutely down (were it even in a desperate mood, on hest of inexorable necessity), and doing nothing. This is very true; and I hope you will learn to believe it:—at all events, act upon it at present, on that; and be loyal to the idle Summer Air, till that have set you on your feet again.
Some afternoon, were you once home, you must come out hither, and take me to your place;3 I will wander about with you till night; and not fail to make my way back on my own resources. That, I suppose, might answer? To myself it would be a pleasant half-holiday; a pause in the sandy wilderness on reaching some convenient stopping-place. Keep it in your eye.
My Prussian affairs are as bad almost as Balaklava; and indeed resemble that notable Enterprise of the Turk War in several respects,—in this especially, that I had no business at all to concern myself in such an adventure, with such associates; and that a good result to it does not seem (for most part) so much as possible! "The longer you look at it," as Sir John Burgoyne says, "the less you see your way thro' it."4 Really my own experience ought to teach me pity and some touches of forgiveness towards the poor Noodles who are professing to lead armies out there, and publishing the shame of England, at home and abroad, in too sad a manner! They too are willing to die mutely in the mud, and so expiate their Noodlism in some small degree. A thing worth being laid to heart, by certain others of us!—
Don't quarrel with Tonbridge!5 I remember it6 as a place of airy expanses and respectable chalk-hills; where at least the winds blow free about one. Take thankfully what it offers; and let us see you home again, soon, and in roadworthy condition.
Yours ever truly /
T. Carlyle

The Western Conference outpaced the Eastern Conference in this year's NBA D-League all-star game, with the final score ending 98-81. Brian Butch, of the Bakersfield Jam took home MVP honors, scoring 18 points and grabbing 13 rebounds.
Despite the loss, the Iowa Energy representatives showcased why their team is sitting atop the East and has the best record in the league.
Enter Curtis Stinson, Earl Barron and Cartier Martin. Each player contributed to the East. Stinson, just another day at the distribution office, finished the game with 11 assists. He is averaging 10 per game this season. Barron led the East with 20 points and shot a sizzling 80 percent from the field. Martin was the East's fourth leading scorer, finishing the game with 9 points respectively.
"It was a great opportunity to play here in Dallas for All-Star," said Barron after the game. "I've got my family here and a few friends and all the people I know are watching this on NBA-TV," he added. These comments were from an interview following the game.
Pat Carroll participated in the Haier Shooting Stars competition, which requires players to knock down shots from different areas of the court. He was joined by Carlos Powell and Trey Gilder. The team won the competition and set a new record completing the round in 15.6 seconds.
The entertainment also included a slam dunk contest however no Energy players participated in this event. Dar Tucker, of the Los Angeles D-Fenders gave the audience an incredible performance, highlighted by jumping and dunking over 6'11 Brian Butch. This outclassed the NBA dunk contest participants who had the pulses' of the audience slowing into hibernation. Check out the dunk here.
For any additional information about the all-star events, visit the NBA D-League page.
The Iowa Energy will be back in action this Tuesday at Los Angeles. Game time is 5:30 pm.

I'm on all those travel industry list-servs, with the advice e-letters basically telling people that they're jackasses if they take hair dryers in their luggage. Sometimes, the language is even stronger! Well, I can tell you as an experienced travel writer that I do take my hair dryer traveling and recommend Rowenta. I was happy to be hosted to experience it!
The naysayers obviously are unashamed at their hair not looking its best while traveling. Sure, more and more hotels are stocking hair dryers for blow-drying . . . they earn more "stars" that way and can charge more for rooms. But really, the vast, vast majority of hair dryers in hotels seem like they came straight from the flea market. They have as much power as a little baby blowing bubbles through a hoop. You're not going to get your hair dried in a reasonable length of time and you're not going to get the benefits of a high-tech, modern hair dryer. I've had special occasions in the summertime, when it was too tiring to stand around with a drug-store dryer . . . the humidity in the air seized hold and it was Frizz City!
You'd be surprised when traveling that you often find yourself the subject of photos . . . especially if the venue rarely receives visitors. Having a good hair day will last forever in pics!
Rowenta's Inspiration Pro™ Auto Sensor™ Hair Dryer is a professional quality dryer. If you've never used a professional dryer before, the "gun" part is a little longer than you're used to. However, the drying time is so shortened with its effective air output, your arm won't get tired. It features two speeds, three heat settings, and a built-in ionic generator for 35% more airflow, 20% faster drying. The ionic part is what helps your hair shine! It's got that coveted cold button to set your style, just like the pros! The dryer includes a 1/3" ultra-thin concentrator and a 5" diffuser. The concentrator can help you get pin-straight hair and the diffuser helps with natural hair textures.
Josue Perez s responsible for some of the hottest heads in Hollywood including Gwyneth Paltrow, Cameron Diaz, Sarah Jessica Parker, Stella McCartney, Katrina Bowden, Quentin Tarantino, Mark Sanchez and more. He was named one of Allure's hottest rising hairstylists for his haircuts and blowouts. Josue is definitely on his way to the top. His work has been seen on the pages of international magazines including InStyle (US and Germany), Maxim, Marie Claire, Latina, Harper's Bazaar and is often hailed in "How to get this look" in weeklies and countless magazines and websites. His passion and talent for cutting hair was inspired by his sister, Sally Perez Monterrosa, also respected in the industry. It didn't take much time while experimenting with his sister's hairstyling tools to realize this was something he had a natural eye for and quickly excelled at. He started refining his technique at the Ricardo Rojas Madison Avenue Salon in NYC. You can find him now in the Meatpacking District at Serge Normant at John Frieda.
Tips for blow drying from Josue Perez:
1. When you get out of the shower, towel dry hair 50%, leaving it still half-wet. Hair has "porosity" so the leftover dampness/moisture help close hair pores giving it natural shine when blow dryer.
2. For added volume use volumizer spray at the roots and massage it well to the scalp. Blow Dry on a low setting, so hair stays frizz-free while styling.
3. Ionic blow dryers like the Rowenta Inspiration Pro cut drying time up to 20% without using too much heat. The ionic generators protect hair from styling damage and seal in cuticle for fast, frizz-free results.
4. Using a concentrator on the blow dryer allows you to control the air direction, giving you a smother look. Without the concentrator, the dryer will puff the hair cuticle, leading to frizz.
5. Use a smaller ceramic round brush. The smaller brushes will achieve tighter curls and help the style last much longer. Also, ceramic brushes lock in more heat and they stay heated longer for a styling bonus, unlike wood brushes which loose heat faster.
6. The cool shot feature. Most people don't know how/when/why to use it, but when you blow dry your hair, you're essentially opening the cuticle allowing it to form (style) in any shape. (open cuticle = frizz). So when hair is dry and wrapped around the brush, finish it off with a shot of cold air. When you remove the brush and it's slightly tougher to pull out, that means cuticle is sealed in the shape of that brush (frizz-free).
7. Take a break if you have to and practice! So many people give up half way and say it's too much to do. It's good to do as much as you can and go do something else that you have to do. When you come back to it, you will feel more eager to finish it and once you loved the results you will become a pro.

Disciplinary Sanctions
Student Conduct Sanctions for Alcohol Violations
A student found to be in-violation of the Student Code of Conduct will be sanctioned in accordance with the procedures and standards outlined in the Document on Student Rights and Welfare. Specifically, a first offense violation of the alcohol policy will most likely result in a student receiving a sanction of disciplinary probation for up to one semester. In addition, the student may be required to complete an alcohol education program. A second offense that occurs while on disciplinary probation may result in the student being suspended from the university for a minimum of one semester. A program of progressive discipline is employed for additional offenses that occur if a student is not on disciplinary probations including but not limited to extended disciplinary probation, loss of university housing and/or participation in an alcohol and other drug evaluation.
The Kutztown University Student Code of Conduct applies to conduct that occurs on university premises, at university sponsored activities, and to off campus conduct that represents a substantial university interest which adversely affects the university community and the pursuit of its objectives.

PG&E responded early Wednesday to restore power on Butte County's ridge. Nearly 700 customers in Paradise and Magalia were left in the dark at 2:18 a.m.
As of 9 a.m. power had been restored to all but four customers.
According to the PG&E website, crews found a power line down, which appears to be the source of the outage.

The food is just that good.
And this is coexistence without any fanfare. This is a hub of reality where Jews and Arabs sit together to eat. And often talk. There are no news cameras. There are no reporters. Just people who want to have lunch with a little conversation on the side.
This isn't unique -- it is just another part of the utterly exquisite mosaic that is life in Israel.
And while I sat there today, watching my Twitter feed update with jingoistic jargon from behind the screen of my iPhone, I wondered if the news would change all of that. Would we look at each other with distrust, trying to ferret out "Arab" or "Jewish" features in order to distinguish a friend from an enemy? Would we all be too tense to taste the hummus and falafel, or pick up a hookah pipe and take a fragrant drag?
And while the news played out on the TV -- picture after picture of the rockets falling on Gaza, and in Southern Israel, we diners sat together, shaking our heads and asking -- in Hebrew and in Arabic -- "When is this going to end?"
Sarah Tuttle-Singer, Ramle, Israel

This story has been reproduced from today's media. It does not necessarily represent the position of Liverpool Football Club.
West Ham are fighting to keep explosive midfielder Mohamed Diame, who has an escape clause in his contract and could leave the club in January.
Talks are expected this week with the players' agent but the free transfer signing from Wigan appears in no rush to sign a new deal.
In order to lure him to West Ham in the summer, the club were forced to agree a 'trigger clause' in his contract. The size of the clause is a closely-guarded secret at Upton Park, but rival clubs are circling and prepared to pay around £6million.
The player, who was compared by Jamie Redknapp as a cross between Yaya Toure and Patrick Vieira, has been drawing attention from Liverpool and Everton.
After his powerhouse performance against Chelsea at the weekend, other clubs are expected to be interested and West Ham have a fight on their hands to keep him.
Diame arrived from the bench to turn the game in West Ham's favour after they trailed 1-0. He scored in the second half and inspired a comeback that saw them win 3-1 and defeat Chelsea for the first time in ten years. He has also scored against Arsenal this season.
West Ham had a similar deal with Demba Ba, who exercised his escape clause when the club were relegated and joined Newcastle, where he has been a huge success.
Ba has scored eight times for the club in the Premier League this season.

While the masses rejoice about the concept of No Fault Divorce coming to New York, those of us in the matrimonial field are cringing about the other things attached by the State Democratic Assembly in order to pass this bill. Mandatory guidelines have been put in place to dictate maintenance (alimony) taking the discretion out of the hands of the judiciary much the same way that Child Support has operated. While some may be thrilled at this change most will not understand that this may make obtaining a divorce even harder than before.
This change drastically deviates from the rules and guidelines set forth in the original equitable distribution statute enacted in 1985. Also it clearly changes the intent of the the equitable distribution law. In 1985 the term "Alimony" was changed to "Maintenance" and while it was made gender neutral it basically did away with the life time alimony provisions of years past. Maintenance became the term for temporary support, meant to help rehabilitate the non-monied spouse( the one who made less money) and it was used sparingly based on the term of the marriage.
The new rules set forth mandatory percentages and terms some of which have now brought new life to the issue of lifetime maintenance. While meant to equalize the finances of the parties, these new rules have taken a step backward in making divorce that much more contentious since the issue of spousal support has always been a sore topic in the field of divorce.
Pity that the no fault law has so many attachments to it which will probably negate any value which the provision was meant to have...setting divorce negotiations back to the drawing board and making the fight that much more expensive in the long run.

Georgia House of Representatives passed a bill today allowing educators to use terms such as "Merry Christmas" and "Happy Hanukkah" in schools, and to display traditional religious and nonreligious holiday images and greetings, as long as at least two traditions are included.
The Senate Bill 283 passed 119-52.
The S.B. 283 permits teaching about "traditional winter celebrations" and allows display of symbols such as nativity scene, menorah, and Christmas tree as long as they also include at least one more religion or at least one secular display.
The language of the bill is unclear on the meaning of secular holiday display. As far as winter greetings are concerned, school signs such as "Merry Christmas" and "Happy Hanukkah" would have to be accompanied by "Happy Holidays."
The House changed the language of S.B. 283 so the bill has to go back to the Senate for the vote. The original vote in the upper chamber on February 4th was 43-8.

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) -- The owners of a Tallahassee apartment complex say an overcrowded party contributed to the floor collapsing from under the partygoers.
A statement from the owners of Seminole Grand says "the excessive number" of party-goers "cannot be overlooked as a contributing cause of the accident." The statement released Thursday also says the party's promoters didn't notify them of the party.
Police reports say about 200 people were at the party on Oct. 21 when the floor gave way, injuring 55 people. City officials said the building was up to code.
The statement says party guests had to pay $2 to get in, adding: "It is beyond dispute that the number of guests in the upstairs unit at the time of the accident far exceeded the allowable capacity of the unit."

Film Chest Media Group has been doing a nifty job by offering high-quality DVD culled from one of the world's largest libraries–10,000+ hours of classic feature films, television, foreign imports, documentaries and special interest, much of it restored and digitized in HD.
So what does August bring?
A man dreams he committed murder, then begins to suspect it was real in the suspense-filled film noir Fear in the Night (1947).
Vince (DeForest Kelley), a meek, mild-mannered bank teller, awakens from a disturbing dream in which he killed a man . . . only to discover bruises on his body and more unsettling evidence. In a daze, he tells his cop brother-in-law (Paul Kelly) who dismisses the story, assuring him it was just a dream.
Unable to shake the nightmare, Vince's family arranges for a picnic in an attempt to take his mind off of his troubles. But when a thunderstorm suddenly rolls in, forcing them to take shelter in a near-by house, things once again take an eerie turn.
Can Vince be a murderous sleepwalker . . . or is there more than meets the eye?
Also starring Ann Doran and Kay Scott; Fear in the Night is presented in full screen with an aspect ratio of 4 x 3 and original sound.
Taking on a new type of role, Mickey Rooney plays a young man who turns to crime in the film noir classic Quicksand, digitally restored and available on DVD.
Young auto mechanic Dan Brady (Rooney) borrows $20 from his employer's cash register to take blonde, femme fatale Vera Novak (Jeanne Cagney–who has her eye on a new mink–on a date. Brady intends to put the money back before it is missed, but the garage's bookkeeper shows up earlier than expected.
As Brady scrambles to cover up evidence of his petty theft, he quickly finds himself in a series of misdeeds, each more serious than the last. With his life spiraling out of control, he is pushed deeper into to debt and corruption . . . and he's sinking fast.
Also starring Barbara Bates and Peter Lorre .
Quicksand is presented in full screen with an aspect ratio of 4 x 3 and original sound.

Drug is approved in the U.S. and EU as part of a triple combination for HCV genotype 1 in adult patients. [4designersart - Fotolia.com]
Two months after Merck & Co. and Roche agreed to promote the former's Victrelis™ (boceprevir) in the U.S. as part of a triple combination therapy for chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV), the companies are expanding their marketing effort overseas.
Merck says it will work with Roche in Europe, Asia, and Latin America to educate physicians and patients about HCV and promote Victrelis in combination with peginterferon alfa and ribavirin (peg/riba). The nonexclusive global marketing agreement came two days after the EC approved Victrelis as part of the triple combination for HCV genotype 1 infection in adult patients with compensated liver disease who are previously untreated or who have failed previous therapy.
In May, Merck and Roche agreed to promote the triple combination in the U.S. as well as collaborate to explore new treatment regimens for patients with chronic HCV. The agreement was announced May 17, four days after the FDA approved Victrelis.
The medication was one of two HCV drugs approved by the FDA in May. The other is the Vertex drug Incivek (telaprevir), which won the agency's nod after three Phase III trials with about 2,250 previously untreated adult patients showed that HCV was no longer detected in the blood 24 weeks after stopping treatment. Victrelis was approved following two Phase III studies with 1,500 adult patients, in which two-third of patients receiving the drug as part of the triple combination experienced similar results.

The Iliad
by Homer
Analysis: Trivia
Brain Snacks: Tasty Tidbits of Knowledge
Some scholars believe that Book 10 of the Iliad—the night raid of Odysseus and Diomedes—was not part of the original poem, but was written by somebody else and slipped in at a later date. Why might someone think this? How would the poem be different without this book? (Source)
The famous description of the Shield of Achilleus from Book 18 was the inspiration for the description of the shield of Aeneas in Virgil's Aeneid . The difference is that, instead of showing a picture of the world, the Shield of Aeneas depicts events of Roman history. (Source)
The description of the Shield of Achilleus also served as the inspiration for the 20th Century poet W. H. Auden's poem "The Shield of Achilles." In Auden's poem, which was published in 1953, the shield depicts only images of violence and brutality. (Source)
The Irish poet Michael Longley used the scene of Achilleus and Priam's meeting from Book 24 as the basis for his poem "Ceasefire," about the peace accord in Northern Ireland. Longley trained as a classicist.

The new venture seats up to 15 guests, offers Wi-Fi, as well as discounts to college students with proper ID. That could turn out to be a strong marketing outreach effort in the predominantly student-residence neighborhood.
The menu, which runs the gamut from jerk chicken to smoothies with nothing priced above $11, includes such dishes as Brown Stew Chicken with rice and peas, curried goat, cowfoot and mannish water, the latter a Jamaican goat soup rumored to be an aphrodisiac. Hours: 8 a.m. to midnight, Monday-Thursday. 8 a.m. to 2 a.m. Friday-Saturday. Closed Sunday. Phone: (518) 487-4844.

Dyce knew that they would not last long like this.
"New orders. Target and destroy the piercers!" The group of TIs split up to make themselves less of a target. The piercers were also on the move, some swerving around to the back of the TIs, some closing in gaps on the battlefield where other tanks had fallen. Dyce remembered that these enemies were no mare different than themselves. Why had they chosen to do this? He looked out at the cold battlefield. Their ex-allies looked the same, yet they were so different. He also noticed that more than the original Civic Empire was out there. He saw several soldiers from all kinds of different places, many looked to be barbarians. Had the Empire lost all honor?
Dyce's transfiction was interrupted by the sound of machine guns hitting the armor of his tank. He tried to lock onto the piercer but it kept circling him, attacking his back if given the chance. Dyce did a complex menouver and swerved onto his side, the piercer smashing into the think armor at the bottom of the TI. There were more Piercers than he thought.
The firmiliar drum insignia could be heard on Dyce's speaker. The ground infantry troops were getting closer, they had to make it safe for them. Dyce shot down two piercers tailing a TI.
"Incoming TA-ATs," Reported VI-687. A small bomb smashed into a TI right in front on Dyce.
"Take down the TAs, ignore the remaining piercers if possible." A piercer destroyed two TIs next to Dyce, and hit him several times. "Wait, reverse that order." More TA-AT bombs. "Just shoot anything that's shooting at you!"
"Ground infantry is nearing the canyon base," reported a troop.

Stöwhas, A C; Namdar, M; Biaggi, P; Russi, E W; Bloch, K E; Stradling, J R; Kohler, M (2011). The effect of simulated obstructive apnea and hypopnea on aortic diameter and BP. Chest, 140(3):675-680.
Full text not available from this repository.
View at publisher
Preliminary evidence supports an association between obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and thoracic aortic dilatation. The mechanisms through which OSA may promote thoracic aortic dilatation are incompletely understood. Therefore, we studied the acute effects of simulated apnea and hypopnea on aortic diameter and BP in humans.
The diameter of the aortic root was measured in 20 healthy volunteers by echocardiography, and peripheral BP was continuously recorded prior, during, and immediately after simulated obstructive hypopnea (inspiration through threshold load), simulated obstructive apnea (Müller maneuver), end-expiratory central apnea, and normal breathing in randomized order.
Proximal aortic diameter increased significantly during inspiration through a threshold load (+6.48%; SE, 3.03; P = .007), but not during Müller maneuver (+3.86%; SE, 2.71; P = .336) or end-expiratory central apnea (+0.62%; SE, 2.94; P = .445). Maneuver-induced changes in mean BP were observed during inspiration through a threshold load (-10.5 mm Hg; SE, 2.2; P < .001), the Müller maneuver (-8.8 mm Hg; SE, 2.4; P < .001), and end-expiratory central apnea (-4.2 mm Hg; SE, 1.4; P = .052). There was a significant increase in mean BP on release of threshold load inspiration (+8.1 mm Hg; SE, 2.9 mm Hg; P = .002), Müller maneuver (+10.7 mm Hg; SE, 2.9; P < .001), and end-expiratory central apnea (+10.6 mm Hg; SE, 2.5; P < .001).
Simulated obstructive hypopnea/apnea and central apnea induced considerable changes in BP, and obstructive hypopnea was associated with an increase in proximal aortic diameter. Further studies are needed to investigate effects of apnea and hypopnea on transmural aortic pressure and aortic diameter to define the role of OSA in the pathogenesis of aortic dilatation.
