im writing a code where im multiplying 2 and 3 with their powers, ie (2 ^ i) * ( 3 ^ j )..n if the resultant sum is greater than 32 bits then im not storin that value in my array n so i check with the next powers ie if for some i n j the ans is less than the previous 1(since a value greater than 64bits gets truncated n the remainin number left after truncatin is less than the prev num) then im breaking n startin with the next i value...also while checkin if the answer is more than 64 bits i store it in the array only if isnt more than 64 bits..
the array should hold values like 0,1,2,3,4,6,8,9,12,18 etc n my code is not printing the values of 2 powers..
this is my code:
i know its not very neat n all but i still dont know why my break line doesnt go to my first for loop...can u please tell me the error..
thanks for reading!

Thanks to `Platinus for the title.
For what it's worth, the texture was achieved in UF, not post-processing.

Night on the Town by `FarDareisMai really showcases Jess's skill. The whole fractal look like a melody, you could easily imagine a old blues-man reading this as his guitar score in the darkness of a famous Chicago blues club... ( Suggested by Daeurth and Featured by SaTaNiA )
didn't even have to look to know this was yours.. exquisite
congrats on the DD
congrats on the DD
This is great, love it, love the colors love the shapes!
beautiful composition and combination of colors.
And another congratulations
Great to be able to see the texturing up close with the full view, very nice work!

congrats with dd !
Perfect....Congratulations on your DD
It reminds me of a cello and a jazzy night
wow, this piece calms me, its kinda a strange feeling, thank you, you've unlocked an emotion in me with this piece (although i cant figure out accurately what the emotion is)
very good use of color... i give it 2 thumbs up!
a wonderful fractal and well-deserved DD!
This makes me picture a night listening to old-school jazz in Louisiana at a lively party. So much is portrayed in one picture and a few words. Even without knowledge of the beginning to the complexities of fractal art, I can sense that this is a job well done. Wonderful job.
Nice nice nice Wow!
I normally dislike abstract art, but this is really cool. I love how all the colors come to together so elegantly
nice wrok
How did I miss this???
Gorgeous and fascinating. When I saw the thumbnail, I thought it was a wonderful abstract oil painting. Finding out it's a fractal makes it evening more interesting! Congrats on the DD!
beautiful work... congrats on the DD. It's very well deserved
The title totally fits this beautiful fractal.
Great, really well done.
Yep, already in my fav's. Very beautiful!!Congratulations on a well deserved DD Jess!!
c'est bien la photo
I thought it was a cubist-type painting. I didn't realise you couuld do this with fractals. Nice!
This is stunning. This is a work of art. I'd love to get a huge monitor and hang it on my wall portrait format - just showing this. I wonder what it would look like printed, would lose a lot of the contrast I guess... Reminds me of old posters - from the thirties (I think), and abstract art from early 20thC (sorry I should know names but cannot remember). Reminiscent of this too - 'I Saw the Figure 5 in Gold' (1928 Charles Demuth) [link] but very different too (more like the earlier more anarchic abstract art - mostly Russian &/or European I *think*).
I know nothing about fractals, or the programmes used to create this stuff, so I dont really have any concept of how you made this. I presume the final UF image is bitmap?

Queen chats to students during first visit to Harold Hill
17:53 26 October 2012
The Queen spent time chatting to staff and students of a new school during her first visit to Harold Hill today (Friday October 26).
The Monarch officially opened the new Drapers' Academy, in Settle Road.
Matthew Slater, principal of Drapers' Academy, described the day as "simply a dream come true".
He said: "It's wonderful, she is just so interested in the students and has spent the time asking them questions and just giving me lots of feedback."
The Queen arrived on her second visit to Havering at 12pm and was greeted by the Lord Lieutenant of Greater London Sir David Brewer.
Dressed in a light pink suit, she was taken on a tour of the new £24m academy starting in the sports hall where she was met by students doing trampolining and using the climbing wall.
Her delight was evident as she told the pupils that the climbing wall was "just wonderful".
The Queen was then treated to a performance of a scene from Little Shop of Horrors, which the students had performed earlier in the year to rave reviews.
After the performance, Her Majesty spent time speaking to Harry Gibbons, who played the lead role of Seymour in the production.
He said: "She asked me if I enjoyed singing and then she said that I sing really well.
"I didn't expect her to speak to me, I was just really shocked."
The tour then continued into the science department, where the students peformed a range of experiments.
The Queen chatted to Jack Ostermeyer, 14, who was carrying out an experiment on magnesium and asked him if the "experiment was working".
He said: "I told her that the magnesium would take some time to burn.
"She was just so calm and was really interested in the experiment."
The Queen was taken to the staff room where she met with dignitaries, including Upminster and Hornchurch MP Angela Watkinson and Leader of Havering Council Cllr Michael White.
The Monarch was then treated to a performance of Something Inside So Strong and Gary Barlow's Sing in the school hall, which was renamed the Diamond Jubilee Hall in the Queen's honour.
See this week's Romford Recorder for more on the Queen's visit.

It took three rain delays and a big day from Billy Hamilton, but the Reds were able to snap their three game losing streak when they knocked off the Cubs 3-2 at Great American Ballpark on Tuesday.
Cincinnati (12-14) executed its version small ball when Hamilton walked to start the game. He then stole his tenth base in 15 attempts and moved to third on a wild pitch by Jeff Samardzija (0-3). That set up a sacrifice fly by Brandon Phillips to give the Reds a 1-0 lead.
That held until the third inning when Alfredo Simon (4-1) allowed two singles and a walk to load the bases. Starlin Castro brought in two of those runners with a single of his own to make it a 2-1 game in favor of Chicago (8-17). After a double steal put runners at second and third, Simon settled in and struck out Wellington Castillo looking.
Samardzija escaped out of some small jams over the next few innings, but gave up a leadoff homer to Hamilton in the fifth inning. Hamilton's first career homer was a feather in his cap on an evening when he went 3-4 with a walk, a stolen base, and RBI and two runs scored.
The Reds were able to chase Samardzija before the rain chased both teams of the field for the third time. Zack Cozart hit a two-out triple and then an unhappy Simon was pulled for pinch-hitter Chris Heisey, who singled in Cozart for the 3-2 lead. Hamilton reached on an infield single, but Zac Rosscup came on to strike out Joey Votto to end the threat.
After the rain, Sam LeCure worked a scoreless seventh and Logan Ondrusek followed with more of the same in the eighth. Jonathan Broxton continued his success as the Reds closer, working a 1-2-3 ninth for his fifth save in as many chances.
Broxton's role may change in the coming weeks as Aroldis Chapman starts his rehab after taking a line drive off his head in spring training. Chapman is slated to pitch for Single-A Dayton on Thursday. The Reds are also starting rehab for Skip Schumaker in Triple-A Louisville, while Mat Latos draws closer to his return, which also forces manager Bryan Price to make a decision on what he will do with Simon.
The Reds on the current 25-man roster will keep their focus on the Cubs for the final game in a rain shortened series on Wednesday. Edwin Jackson (1-2, 5.02 ERA) will take on Tony Cingrani (2-2, 2.86 ERA) in a rematch of a game won by the Cubs 8-4 on April 19.

When there's no stress in a family, members of the family feel free to be themselves, to take on different roles in the family or group. There's fluidity in the way family members relate to each other. But when a family becomes stressed or traumatized, they start to come from a stress-driven or fear-driven place instead of the way they normally interact. Members of the family start to behave differently; people begin to relate from a stress-driven state of mind, and to interpret each other's behavior and words from a different mindset. Everything is now filtered through feelings of stress and fear. People become more rigid, stuck, locked into family roles.
Family Stress Roles Are Passed Down
Unfortunately, families often get stuck in these anxiety dynamics generation after generation. People and families suffering in these stuck long-term roles often are the ones that come for family therapy. The roles become family relationship "habits." Each member of the family often also takes on the same role in whatever group he/she becomes part of, for example, at work, in social groups, in romantic relationships, and with their own next-generational families. Professionals in family therapy have written about these roles, using various names for the roles. Again, the assignment of roles is unconscious—it's not done on purpose, and the family usually doesn't even recognize that the assignments are happening. The roles can be called:
1. Caretaker Role: Inappropriately, this role is often given to a child in the family, who is expected to be the "go-to" person when anyone needs help. As the child gets older, he/she takes on the role more and more. The great thing for caretakers is that they feel very competent. The downside is that they feel burdened with everyone's problems. The caretaker becomes increasingly competent and everyone else cedes their competence more and more. In the long run, no one benefits.
2. Distancer Role: This role should be assigned to the children, but it's often taken by one of the parents, who stays wrapped up in the newspaper or soap operas or sports when the others in the family are dealing with emotional problems or conflicts. The great thing for distancers is that they have no anxiety. They are always at peace, leaving the emotional stuff to be dealt with by everyone else. The downside is really for everyone else, who gets no help from the distancer and who feels abandoned.
3. Identified Patient Role: This is the person, often the youngest child or sometimes one of the parents, who feels the emotional pain for everyone but either is too young to have the power to do anything about it or (in the case of a parent) doesn't feel up to the task. This person feels weak and is seen as weak. He/she often becomes ill and/or suffers from nightmares. Identified patients hold the pain for the family. The benefit to the family is that, unconsciously, they can leave all that to the identified patient.
4. Outcast Role: This person actually experiences the most anxiety in the family. People in this role are "pulled" to go against the taboos of the family, sometimes so much that the family decides they don't want to have anything to do with them. They may use swear words in a religious family, take drugs in a family that believes swearing is wrong or sneak out at night when everyone else is asleep. They seem extremely "bad" to the rest of the family. Strangely, the benefit to the family is that so much energy is focused on being upset at the outcast role person that the rest of the family doesn't have to deal with whatever problems the family is really dealing with as a whole. This person is a "scapegoat" in the family. These people often have so much anxiety that they push it down; they shut down all their feelings and become numb to everyone, including themselves.
Healing Stuck Family Stress Roles
The secret to healing is to become more fluid, to move around the roles instead of staying stuck in the one we've been used to playing. For example, the Caretaker can decide that they don't need to solve a particular problem this time and leave it to someone else to deal with. The Distancer could move in and listen to someone who's upset about something and try to help. Identified Patients can think about what they can do about a problem, a part they can take in the solution. And the Outcast can let him or herself feel their own fear, sadness, and pain—and also the sadness, fear and pain of others.

March 27, 2006
OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) - There's no mistaking this UCLA team for the ones the Wizard of Westwood took to the Final Four. Or even for Jim Harrick's national champions.
The Bruins took winning ugly to another level in their 50-45 victory over Memphis on Saturday. To the UCLA players, however, it was a thing of beauty because they're going to Indianapolis to play in the Final Four.
"It really was because we're sitting today with these hats on, these beautiful T-shirts, all that stuff," point guard Jordan Farmar said. "It doesn't matter what goes on in the game. Me personally, 1-for-9, 50 percent from the free-throw line. I couldn't be happier right now. I wouldn't have it any other way. That's all that matters."
Only once in the rich history of the school had UCLA scored that few points in a tournament game, coming in a 43-41 first-round loss to Princeton in 1996.
In fact, even John Wooden's teams that played without a shot clock or a 3-pointer only held two opponents in the tournament to fewer points than Memphis scored - and those wins came in the first two rounds, not a regional final.
"If we won 2-0, 111-109, a win is a win," said Ryan Hollins, who was voted the outstanding player of the regional despite missing nine of 11 free throws Saturday. "It doesn't matter. That's what is going down in history right now."
It was a game most non-UCLA fans would rather forget. Take a look at these statistics: 4-for-17 shooting in the second half, 20-for-39 from the foul line, 17 turnovers.
And that was from the winning team.
It was the lowest-scoring regional final since the shot clock was first implemented in the tournament in 1986. That's a far cry from UCLA's last win in the regional final, which also came in Oakland in 1995 when the Bruins outran Connecticut 102-96 on their way to their 11th national championship.
In that game, Ray Allen scored as many points (36) as the whole Memphis team had through the first 36 minutes Saturday. But with Tyus Edney, Ed O'Bannon and Toby Bailey running up and down the floor, the Bruins had enough to win.
"We have different personnel than the '95 team," said defensive stopper Arron Afflalo, who held Memphis leading scorer Rodney Carney to five points on 2-for-12 shooting. "We have tough, tough guys who are willing to do whatever it takes to win."
What they did was hold Memphis to 17-for-54 shooting (31.5 percent), force the Tigers to miss their first 14 3-pointers and frustrate them the entire game. It was a dramatic turnaround from when the teams met in November and Memphis won 88-80.
"We knew if we played at that pace, we weren't going to win," Afflalo said. "We're a pretty dominant defensive team right now."
The Bruins (31-6) have won 11 games in a row heading into the Final Four, allowing only one opponent to score more than 60 points and giving up an average of 54.7 per game. They were thoroughly outplayed for nearly 36 minutes against Gonzaga before scoring the final 11 points to win 73-71 in the third-round game.
If UCLA can carry that defensive efficiency over to Final Four when they face LSU (27-8) on Saturday in a semifinal game, Memphis coach John Calipari believes they can win it all.
"If they can keep these games from being fast-paced games, with the guys they have out there, they can continue doing this," Calipari said. "If it's in the 60s, they got a chance."
Even if UCLA doesn't resemble Wooden's 10 championship teams, his imprint will always be on the program. Third-year coach Ben Howland, just the fourth man to lead UCLA to the Final Four, knows the Wizard would be proud.
"I think our team embodies the spirit of what Coach is all about, which is teamwork, which is unselfish play, which is a commitment at both ends of the floor to play together, team defense, team offense, giving yourself up for your teammates," Howland said. "As we continue to win, they all get recognized."

Low-Level Radioactive Waste:
Disposal Availability Adequate in the Short Term, but Oversight Needed to Identify Any Future Shortfalls
GAO-04-604: Published: Jun 10, 2004. Publicly Released: Jun 10, 2004.
Additional Materials:
- Highlights Page:
- Full Report:
- Accessible Text:
(202) 512-6246
Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
Low-level radioactive waste (LLRW) management concerns persist despite enactment of the LLRW Policy Act of 1980, as amended, which made states responsible for providing for disposal of most LLRW. It also enumerated guidance and oversight responsibilities for DOE and NRC. When GAO last reported on LLRW disposal, in 1999, the only existing facility accepting the more highly radioactive types of LLRW (known as class B and C waste) from most states was expected to be full within 10 years. In this context, GAO examined (1) changes in LLRW conditions since 1999, (2) recent annual LLRW disposal volumes and potential future volumes, (3) any current or anticipated shortfalls in disposal availability, and (4) potential effects of any such shortfall.
GAO identified several changes in LLRW disposal availability and federal agency oversight since its 1999 report that have had or might have significant impacts on LLRW management by the states. For example, while one disposal facility plans to close to most states and new options are evolving that may counteract this shortfall, federal guidance and oversight of LLRW management has virtually ended. Annual LLRW disposal volumes increased 200 percent between 1999 and 2003, primarily due to LLRW shipped to commercial disposal by DOE. GAO identified this increase using data from the three commercial disposal facility operators because GAO determined that data from the national LLRW database, maintained by DOE to assist the LLRW community in managing LLRW, were unreliable. The uncertain timing and volume of future waste shipments from DOE and nuclear utilities make it difficult to forecast disposal needs for all classes of LLRW. At current LLRW disposal volumes, disposal availability appears adequate until at least mid-2008 for class B and C wastes. There are no expected shortfalls in disposal availability for class A waste. If disposal conditions do not change, however, most states will not have a place to dispose of their class B and C wastes after 2008. Nevertheless, any disposal shortfall that might arise is unlikely to pose an immediate problem because generators can minimize, process, and safely store waste. While these approaches are costly, GAO did not detect other immediate widespread effects. NRC places no limit on stored waste and presently does not centrally track it. However, as LLRW storage volume and duration increase in the absence of reliable and cost-effective disposal options, so might the safety and security risks.
Matter for Congressional Consideration
Status: Open
Comments: No congressional action has yet been taken on this issue.
Matter: Congress may wish to consider directing NRC to report to it if LLRW disposal and storage conditions should change enough to warrant congressional evaluation of alternatives to ensure safe, reliable and cost effectiveness of disposal availability.
Recommendation for Executive Action
Status: Closed - Implemented
Comments: Although DOE disagreed with GAO's recommendation to halt dissemination of information contained in the online database, DOE stated that erroneous information found in the database was removed and that new information provided by the responsible waste disposal site operator was added to the database. DOE explained that this new information included additional historical records, and that a new data table had been added which provides users with summary information on the waste not reported in the database. In addition, members of an industry group provided assistance in identifying additional errors--many of these errors have been corrected and the remaining errors will be resolved with the assistance of an ongoing work group established by the industry group to identify additional errors in the database and to identify other changes to improve the usefulness of the database.
Recommendation: The Secretary of Energy should halt dissemination of information contained in the online national LLRW database as long as the database has internal control weaknesses and shortcomings in its usefulness and reliability.

Steam can now be installed onto multiple drives
I never saw an announcement, and the FAQ has no mention of it. However when I went to install a game today it asked me which SteamLibrary I wanted to install to.
As someone who's list of owned steam games is larger then the capacity of my fast hard drives this has always been an issue.
Install onto my fast disk drive, but only have the current big titles, or use a slower drive that can hold more?
Since a lot of the games need the performance I am using my Fast, but Small, drive. Unfortunatly that meant even the games that did not require fast disk access were forced to take space alongside my more important AAA titles, or just not get kept on my PC at all.
Todays discovery has changed all that, so I am in the middle of seperating my lesser titles onto my slower drives.
Since it took a bit of experimenting to figure out how to transfer the files without requiring a full download, these are the steps that seem to work. Normally just having the files in the right directory and restarting steam is all that is required, but it seems steam still only looks at the primary install location. It will not spot the files present in the additional drives.
From withing Steam:
1. Install a new title, which will allow you to chose a new drive and create a new SteamLibrary on it.
Either let the game download completely, which will create the full file structure needed, or manual create the folders.
From within Windows Explorer
2. The full structure needed is (Drive:)\[SteamLibrary]\SteamApps\common\
3. Manually copy the game folders from your current Steam Install folder into the new library. (eg, I am copying from G:\steam\steamapps\common\Bastion to H:\steam\steamapps\common\Bastion)
From withing Steam:
4. Right Click on the title you just copied, and choose Delete Local Content
This will uninstall the game from the original location.
5. Right Click the title you just deleted, and choose Install Game. Choose the new drive from the list (for me it is H:\SteamLibrary)
6. Steam will now start to prepare the install and will go a new stage called Discovering existing files
7. Complete. Repeat steps 3 to 5 for each game you want to move.
Nice :) This has been in the beta for a couple of months now, but it's good to see it go live so everyone can take advantage of it!
I should add, when moving games like this, some titles also put some pertinent files (.ncf and .gcf) directly into the steamapps folder. When moving games, ensure to make backups of these files before uninstalling in case it removes them.
For most titles, these files are small and insignificant (and re-downloading will only take seconds), but some put almost all their game content in .ncf files (primarily, the Source games - TF2, CSS, etc). Any shared files it won't remove when uninstalling, but other games are a different matter - always a good idea to backup just in case. :)
As BlackD indicates, most Source games put the majority of their content in ncg/gcf files in the steamapps directory. As a result, Steam won't let you choose to install these games into a secondary install location - the option never shows in the install dialog. You'll therefore still need to ensure you've enough room for these in your primary steam install location, or muck around with symbolic links.
Thank you BlackIce I can now use this route rather than delete and re-download to change from my SSD drive to my 1Tb one.

A true story though foggy in a mystical, magical sort of way.
Her hair golden, flashing in the sun. Her skin, sun-kissed. Her existence — no nonsense, strong, opinionated. There was no negotiating. After all she was 3 years older. I remember a dream room. A beautiful little girl's bedroom, in order. Perfection. Delicate trinkets placed carefully on the bureau. Clouds of powder puff and perfume floating in the air. Colorful, character poster images hung neatly, adored. Bedding for a princess complete with stuffed, talking dolls and comfort.
I'm just 5 or 6, holding an apple-sized lump in my throat. I have to leave. Again, I have to leave? Really? Please, let me stay just a while longer. This being the opposite of my life, I find refuge here. Maybe it was the normalcy of it? Maybe. It wasn't just my cousin or her room. It was my aunt, my grandma, my grandpa, the charming small town, the community. The bustling, healthy activity. Life's rhythmic heartbeat seemed to live right here. Tears streamed quietly as I'm whisked out of town.
Months later. It's dark. I smell rain. I smell earth. Groggy from the night drive but excited about my return. "Come on," she says. "Let's go play!" We find ourselves lost in hours of play. I remember grandma's backyard. Organized patterns of blossom lay gingerly, sprawling past a small greenhouse. Gorgeous fuchsia baskets sway, wispy above our heads. "Pop one," she says. "Pop it!" I follow along, popping one after another. There are shades of pink, yellow, and purple everywhere. Pansies dance happily under an oversized cherry tree. We found ourselves masters at dodging busy bees bustling around apple trees. Fragrant roses guard the entrance. The milk has arrived. Cold, thick glass tucked neatly in the box on the front porch. I slip my hand through the metal mail slot in the door. I'm finally here. I'm back.
Fresh, crisp aroma of cucumber in the kitchen. Lunchtime. First, competition to see who can get their hands the soapiest. Fluffy clouds cleansing away the wonders of the backyard. While reaching to dry, water drops race up tickling the underside of my arm. Time to sit. We are served. Giggles. I remember all-out, pee-pee dance giggles. Shhhh. We eat quietly. We lock eyes. Some how my lima beans would magically turn into cottage cheese. And mystical forces would turn her cottage cheese into lima beans! It was our pact. Our little secret. The first of many.
"Today we skip!" she says, slating the activities. "Wait! I'll be right back. " Faint in the background, I hear: "Can we go around the block, PLEASE?" She returns, chin-up, grin on her face, taking obvious pride in her top-notch negotiating skills; off we go. Skipping along, chanting, "Don't step on a crack, you'll break your mother's back!" Kicking pebbles and pine cones along the way.
Around her, I had the pleasure of being the youngest. In the real world I am the oldest of five children. Her presence is more like a big sister than a cousin; she held my heart and great influence at a very young age. A trickster at times. "Close your eyes," she'd say. "No really, close them." "Don't peek!" A hint of something would graze my lips. I'm thinking, "What is it this time?" A green bean, fresh from the vine? A potato bug?! Or yes, yes, yes a sweet piece of candy? No, not this time. "Okay, bite!" she says. I bite. Oh! Hot! Hot! Hot! A dastardly belly laugh follows. She's done it again. A pepper, a hot pepper, of course. You would think I would learn. Maybe I didn't want to.

College Hockey:Genoe stops 34 as Michigan Tech battles Wisconsin to a draw
MADISON, Wis. — Michigan Tech and Wisconsin both could lay claim to the advantage of getting scoring from nontraditional sources Saturday night.
Because of it, there was no leg up gained for either team, and the Huskies and the Badgers skated to a second straight tie, 3-3, at the Kohl Center.
Kevin Genoe made two big saves in the overtime period for the Huskies, who finished a stretch of five games in nine days by rallying from a two-goal deficit on the road.
Michigan Tech's three goal scorers — Malcolm Gould, Steven Seigo and Blake Hietala — entered the game with a combined four goals to their credit this season, and them chipping in was big for the short-handed Huskies (4-8-3, 3-6-3 WCHA).
"We needed some guys to step up," Michigan Tech coach Mel Pearson said. "Good for Malcolm Gould. He's played really well as of late. … Good for those guys. But we need that going forward, and now we've got to get healthy."
Wisconsin (2-7-5, 2-5-5) got the first goals of the season from Brendan Woods and Joseph LaBate and the third tally — and second of the series — by Tyler Barnes.
The Badgers, however, couldn't hold on to a 3-1 lead and remained winless at the Kohl Center this season (0-4-2).
"I feel like every game's had its different path of how it's ended," Badgers center Mark Zengerle said. "We felt that today was probably the one where we could have squeaked out with a win but didn't, more than any of the other ones."
Wisconsin, which stretched its season-high unbeaten streak to four games (1-0-3), outshot the Huskies, 5-2, in overtime. Genoe had to slide to his right to deny Zengerle at the post a minute into the extra session.
Barnes later beat the Huskies to the post on a wraparound attempt after a drive up the right side, but he couldn't tuck the puck completely around the iron and shot it into Genoe's pads.
"To be honest, I think we outplayed them the whole game," LaBate said. "I thought we deserved to win. Sometimes pucks just don't go in."
Playing without five regulars because of injury, the Huskies trailed after two periods for the eighth time in 15 games this season, but Hietala tied things at three when he knocked the rebound of a C.J. Eick shot out of the air and in, a goal that withstood a video review.
Seigo started the rally from a 3-1 deficit in the second period, firing a wrist shot from the left point through traffic and into the top left corner of the net.
The result gave the Huskies an 0-2-3 record in the five games they played in a nine-game span. They lost and tied at home against Minnesota-Duluth last weekend, lost at Northern Michigan on Tuesday, and tied the Badgers, 1-1, on Friday.
"I was a little concerned this week playing that amount of games in a short period of time," Pearson said. "But we backed off in practice. We didn't have a pregame skate yesterday or today, and I thought maybe that helped the team, especially in the third period tonight."
Wisconsin was sloppy in its end of the ice early, but it got two of the three goals scored in a 2:22 stretch of the first period.
All three were on rebounds. Barnes opened things for the Badgers before Gould answered, pouncing on the puck after goaltender Joel Rumpel (22 saves) denied Daniel Holmberg's breakaway try.
Fourth-line center Woods put the Badgers back ahead, 2-1, just 68 seconds later.
Wisconsin's LaBate joined Gould and Woods in scoring his first goal of the season when he banked the puck in off Genoe in the second period for a two-goal cushion.
It had been 25 games since LaBate's last goal and 19 since Woods'.
"These are indications that things are coming around," Badgers coach Mike Eaves said.
Genoe's 34 saves gave the Huskies just enough of a boost to make it five times in the last six league games that they have earned at least a point.
"All we can ask of them is to put their best effort [forward], and I thought they did," Pearson said. "Kevin Genoe gave us a chance to win. But like Mike Eaves said after the game, every game's a battle in this league. I think that was evident this weekend. There's not much difference between the teams and a bounce here, a break there can make the difference."

With the influx of blue-eyed soul coming out of the UK in the past decade (from Winehouse to Duffy to our lady Alice Russell), one has to question where these deep, obviously soul-influenced voices came from. Hint: watch this video to see what their parents were doing in the mid-seventies. This is a trailer for the soon-to-be-released movie, Souled Out (aka Soulboy), and it's about UK's Northern Soul scene and the famous Wigan Casino dance club. After the jump, check out a vintage video of the real thing: dancing at the Wigan Casino crica 1975.

Easter plays and pageants have their roots in the Catholic Church during a time when the vast majority of the population could not read and mass was conducted in Latin. Easter or Passion plays presented the sacrifice of Jesus Christ in form ordinary men and women could understand.
Today the tradition continues in churches and schools. Some dramas take the form of shorts skits (see accompanying slide show and free resources listed below) while others are elaborate musical dramas involving hundreds of cast and crew.
One such play in the Hampton Roads area is Lift Him Up, produced by the Kempsville Christian Church in Virginia Beach. Five evening shows are planned on April 12th, 13th, 18th, 19th, and 20th beginning at 7 pm. Admission is free but seating is limited. Contact the church at 490-3925 for more details.
Check out these free Easter scripts from Fools for Christ.
- Mizpah -follows the lives of best buds Dexios and Ehud, zealots at the time of Christ. One becomes a believer; the other remains a skeptic, even as they are crucified on either side of Jesus. Run time 14 minutes, 2 characters and a voice of Jesus.
- Nick and Joe - a 10 minute script for 11+ characters. As they prepare Christ's body for burial, Nicodemus and Joseph remember their interactions with Jesus and regret keeping their faith a secret.
- Last Supper Servants - Five scenes from Luke 22 and John 13 & 14. Jesus washes his disciple's feet and institutes the Last Supper.

We Do What We Do: Plant Biologists Discuss Their Career Choices - A Collection
of Editorials Published in Plant Physiology® July 2001 May 2002
"We put our love where we have put our labor." - Ralph Waldo Emerson (1836)
With this issue of Plant Physiology®, we are initiating a new series of Editor's Choice articles: articles devoted to a new generation of young scientists. We thought it would be interesting for many of you to read several essays devoted to various careers that individuals have chosen in the plant sciences and areas related to science. These issues certainly have been thoroughly discussed and many of you have attended special career choice workshops at various universities and during our own ASPB meetings, but we hope that publishing two or three essays on career choices in every issue during the coming 11 months (until May 2002) will provide an added benefit to our young scientists and colleagues as they attempt to envision and carve out their niche in the field of plant biology. We are planning to collect all of these essays in one booklet, to be sold for a nominal price. For these essays, we have approached several individuals who, with their science degrees, have embarked on very different professional careers. We asked them to write what they enjoy and dislike about their work, what their passions are as well as frustration. We invited colleagues from small colleges and high-powered universities, private institutions, government organizations, and industry. We contacted colleagues who devote at least some of their time to science writing or practicing patent law. And, we also invited several emeritus professors and asked them to describe their scientific life experience: What kept them going throughout their career in science? Would they do it again? Was it worth it? Finally, to provide an international perspective to this important decision in life, we also solicited contributions from colleagues in different countries. With these articles we hope that our young colleagues of the next generation will gain valuable insight into several career opportunities as they read about the career choices and experiences of their senior colleagues. We respected the personal nature of these reflections on career choices and therefore have chosen not to edit these essayswe sincerely believe that our colleagues should speak for themselves. Together, we greatly enjoyed reading these essays, finding most of them fascinating and inspiring, and we very much hope that reading them will be a useful and enlightening experience for many of you.

Bad Boys record founder Sean "P. Diddy" Combs says his child is being used in a scam to bilk him out of a quarter-million dollars a year in child support.
"To go and have a judge order me to do it as if I've been a bad father is unfair," he said. "A court doesn't have to tell me what to do to support my child. It's disrespectful."
The ruling was the highest amount in New York state history, and was immediately appealed.
Combs has another son, 7-year-old Christian, with model Kim Porter, and he has virtually adopted Porter's son 13-year-old son Quincy.
Combs separated from Porter when he became involved with Jennifer Lopez, but he and Porter have since reunited, though he continues to pay her monthly child-support payments of $12,000.

Reading/Language Activity
Beginning, Middle, and End
The concept of beginning, middle, and end is an important comprehension skill for readers. You can help your child understand the concept by using the terms in games and during discussions.
For example, have your child arrange three toys in a line. Ask which toy is at the beginning of the line, which is in the middle, and which is at the end. You can do this with any items. You and your child can take turns choosing items to be in each of the positions, or one of you can remove an item and the other person has to say where the item belongs. Simple activities can help your child become comfortable with the terms. Remember, though, that if you line up objects facing you, the beginning is always the item on the left. In this way, the items are arranged left to right. This helps children learn that English is read left to right.
You can use these terms while talking about the parts of a day—waking up at the beginning of the day, all the things that happen during the middle of the day, and going to bed at the end of the day.
As you read, talk about what part of the story you are reading—the beginning, middle, or end. After you read, you and your child can discuss what happened in each part of the story.

College Hockey:Hartung scores twice as Bentley upsets Northeastern
BOSTON — Even when you have the best offense in the country and one of the early Hobey Baker Award contenders on your team, it's hard not to feel the pressure when you aren't winning. For the Bentley Falcons, they found a way to turn the tide by doing what they do best – score goals. The Falcons used a third period outburst to beat Northeastern, 6-3, on Saturday night at Matthews Arena.
It was the first win for the Falcons since Nov. 24, a long winless drought that was beginning to weigh on the players.
"I started to notice it last game; you could tell the losses were piling up," senior forward Brett Gensler said, "[The win was] really big for our confidence. Our defense, our offense, our goalie – everyone knows that we're capable of playing like that every night now."
Gensler's calm post-game demeanor, effortless skating, and penchant for being in the right place at the right time seemed representative of the Falcons on the whole Saturday night: steady, composed, and smart with the puck.
Bentley took advantage of a Northeastern defense that was frequently out of position and sloppy, carving out space for high percentage shots and redirections.
Tied 1-1 entering the second period, Bentley stepped out to a two-goal lead in the waning moments of the frame. At 5:08 into the period, Brett Gensler and Brett Hartung executed a perfect two-on-one rush, with Gensler sliding the puck across and Hartung blasting a slap shot into the back of the net.
The second tally came in final minute of the period after an incredible individual effort from Justin Breton in transition. Breton outskated three backcheckers to gain space on the right wing before he backhanded the puck top shelf on Chris Rawlings' glove side.
However, Northeastern rallied in the third. In the opening minute of the frame, Cody Ferriero pocketed his second goal of the game and sixth in the last two games. Ferriero walked in with a wrister that glanced off the shoulder of Falcons goalie Branden Komm (45 saves) and rolled into the net.
Over the next five minutes, the Huskies peppered Komm with shots (NU finished with 48 shots in the game). The payoff occurred when Robbie Vroyk pounded home a rebound to knot the game, 3-3. Yet immediately after the tying goal, the Falcons responded and flipped the game back in their favor.
On a quick entry play, Justin Breton shot the puck to the middle and got a deflection from Derek Bacon to dribble the puck underneath Rawlings (26 saves) and into the goal. Less than four minutes later, Hartung got his second tally of the game, spinning away from both Northeastern defensemen to cut to net and throw the puck in to make it 5-3.
"We saved our best hockey for the last 10 or 11 minutes, and I was proud of how our guys responded in the last 10 minutes," said Bentley coach Ryan Soderquist, Speaking to the third period surge, he said, "I don't think at all that it was Northeastern's letdown as much as it was us answering the bell, going out there and earning the win."
Meanwhile for the Huskies, the loss was a setback before re-entering Hockey East play — yet another game littered with inconsistent effort and lax coverage in the defensive zone.
"That's where we have to get better — in our own zone," Madigan said, "If we're going to be successful moving forward, we've got to take care of our own zone. And we didn't do it tonight, plain and simple. It's disappointing, because we've put time in practice into it and we didn't execute today in the game."
Adding to the trouble is a thin lineup, as Madigan revealed that forward Ludwig Karlsson and defenseman Dustin Darou would both be week-to-week with injuries sustained over the last week. The Huskies will have to make do with their limited personnel once again next week when they restart Hockey East play against Maine, while Bentley will hit the road to visit RIT in Atlantic Hockey action.

Texas Tech Defeats Rice, 76-62
LUBBOCK, Texas - The No. 11-ranked Texas Tech Lady Raiders (8-2) played one of their finest halves of basketball all season in the first period of Tech's final non-conference game against the Rice Owls (5-4), then withstood an unusually poor second half to post a 76-62 win.
The duo of forward Alicia Thompson and freshman point guard Melinda Schmucker scored five points each in the first five minutes of the game, helping the Raiders to a 10-4 lead.
The Owls responded with a three-point basket by Gina Cafagna and a jumper by Angelica Smith to cut the lead to one. But, Rene Hanebutt hit the first of her four first-half three-point baskets to push the lead back to four.
Not to be outdone, Owl guard Jessica Garcia hit a three-pointer to cut the lead back to one with 12:21 to play in the first half.
Then the Owls commited a cardinal sin - they took the lead. A jumper by Debi Williams pushed the Owls past the Raiders 13-14, and seemed to pull the Raiders out of their scoring slumber.
Hanebutt ignited the run with a three-pointer. Thompson hit a three, then Hanebutt another. Thompson nailed a short jumper, then post Cara Gibbs scored a three-point play when she was fouled on a layin and connected on the free throw. Of course Thompson had to follow that with another three-pointer, and the Lady Raiders led 32-18 with 5:13 left in the first half.
They weren't done by a long shot. Keitha Dickerson scored four points off the bench, helping to propel the Lady Raiders to a 46-23 lead at halftime when her two-point jumper was good with 33 seconds left to play in the period.
The Lady Raiders shot a sizzling 66.7 percent (16-24) in the first half, including seven of nine from three-point range (77.8 percent.)
The Owls, meanwhile, connected at a 33.3 percent clip (9-27), but did out-rebound the Raiders 16 to 11, including eight offensive rebounds.
If the first half was picture perfect, the second half was a bad hair day. Poor ball handling and defensive breakdowns allowed the Owls to trim the deficit to 12 points with 7:21 left in the game when Garcia hit her fifth three-pointer of the game to make the score 60-48.
Thompson responded with two of her game-high 27 points, starting the Lady Raiders on a 16-7 run that made the score 76-55 with 2:08 left to play.
The Owls managed to tack on seven points to make the score more respectable, but the game was well in hand by the time Garcia tied the Rice school record with her sixth three-pointer when she nailed a trey with two seconds left on the clock. Garcia scored a team-high 20 points (including six of 10 three-point attempts) and was the only Rice player to score in double figures.
Eleven Owl players (all that played in the contest) scored at least two points.
Hanebutt recorded 20 points for the Lady Raiders, although only four of those were in the second half.
Schmucker scored only one point in the final 35 minutes of the game after a torrid start, but was a force on defense, recording seven steals.
The Lady Raiders were destroyed on the boards, 41-20, and gave up 21 offensive rebounds. Tech shot 62.8 percent for the game (57.9 percent in the second half) compared with 37.3 percent shooting for the Owls.
The Owls shot 37.5 percent from both the foul stripe (3-8) and three-point land (9-24).
"I think Rice has an awful good team. We knew we were going to have to play very well," said Tech head coach Marsha Sharp.
The Owls upset No. 20-ranked Arkansas 77-61 in Houston on Dec. 3. The Razorbacks went on to upset defending national-champion Tennessee later in December.
"We played two completely different halves," said Sharp. "The first half we played as well as we have all year. It's really important that we put together a complete game. No one in the dressing room is pleased with the way we played in the second half."
Still, Sharp gladly accepted the win, Tech's eighth in non-conference play, saying that she did not expect that her young team would win more than eight non-conference games.
The Lady Raiders take five days off before traveling to Waco to face the Baylor Bears Saturday in their first Big 12 Conference game. Tipoff is scheduled for 7 p.m. CST.

THE recent weeks haven't been so good in the kitchen for me. I haven't had much success trying out new recipes, especially in baking bread. I wanted to try to cook pad thai, just so I could have a noodle dish that I can add condiments to, the way they do in Thailand. I finally found the dried rice noodles used in pad thai and followed a recipe I found online. It turned out tasty, but I am obviously an amateur at stir-frying noodles cos I ended up massacring the strands. By the time I was done manhandling them, the noodles were in bits…. don't ask why or how!!!
I wanted to try making the pad thai again. The dried pad thai rice noodles is actually like keow teow; just not so oily and smooth. Looking at them, I just decided at the spur of the moment that I'd rather eat char keow teow. When I go back to Penang, I hardly eat char keow teow from the hawker stalls because my mother fries good ones for us. She'd fry the char keow teow for us individually, and we will stand next to her and specify how we want ours – mine used to be with lots of chilli, barely cooked cockles, lots of beansprouts and no chives. I like chives these days, so I'd ask for lots of chives too if I were to order char keow teow from my mother. And since she was not around, I had to fry my own.
So, I went and bought the beansprouts, chives and the most important ingredient of all, the cockles. People are wary of eating cockles these days, but we used to have so much of it when were kids. We'd go to the provision shop and buy a bag. Then we'd come home and blanch it quickly in boiling water. We'd all gather around and dig in while they were still hot, deftly cracking open the shells and dipping the bloody cockles in chilli sauce… such simple pleasures.
Anyway, I cooked my char keow teow the way I remember watching my mother do it thousands of times. I prepared the condiment of dark soy sauce, thin soy sauce, sugar and white pepper. First, I fried the chopped garlic, then I added the prawns and then the blended chilli. When it's fragrant, I threw in the noodles and stir it around (gently), and added the condiment. Then, I cracked an egg in the middle and stir the noodles around it. Then, I added the beansprout and chives, and finally the cockles.
It doesn't taste like my mother's char keow teow – the noodles is wrong, for one. And it didn't have the wok hei, don't think the wok was hot enough. But it didn't taste too bad, and I think I prefer my version than the ones sold at the hawker stalls manned by foreign workers. Of course, I am totally biased. But I won't give a recipe because because it's not exactly what char keow teow should be.
One Response to Char Keow Teow
MamaFaMi says:
Hi there,
Mom's cooking is always the best. I can never get the same taste like mom's cooking, though I followed the recipe that she had given me. Once, when she stayed at our house, I had asked her to cook, using my wok, using my stove and everything mine… her dish still taste the same! Delicious! So can't really blame it on the utensils actually… it's the 'air tangan' as we say it in Malay. Hahaha…
Anyway, your char kue tiau looks scrumptious enough to me!

It is hard NOT to write satire. ~Juvenal , Roman satirist,
writing about the Rome of his time)
It is hard NOT to write satire. ~Juvenal , Roman satirist,
writing about the Rome of his time)
Every time I turn on the television these days, I cannot help but
think of Juvenal. Yes, that's right, Decimus Junius Juvenalis,
better known as Juvenal, an ancient Roman writer who lived in the 1st
and 2nd centuries A.D. For those of you who are unfamiliar with him, he
wrote some of the most biting, bitter satires of ancient or modern
I cannot help but wonder what he would make of the "lamest medium;"
television is full of distracting programs that must have the great
Roman satirist turning in his grave.
Juvenal's time (55-127 A.D.), the Roman Republic was but a distant
memory as the power of the emperors grew stronger and stronger. The once
proud Senate that had witnessed the splendid orations of Cato and
Cicero—dominated and weakened year after year by the succession of
dictators—atrophied into a figurehead of an institution. However,
Juvenal felt that the populace took the duties of citizenship far more
seriously during the days of the Republic than in the virtual
dictatorships of the Caesars.
He lamented that "the people that once bestowed commands,
consulships, legions, and all else, now meddle no more and longs eagerly
for just two things — bread and circuses."
Those scornful words "bread and circuses," panem et circenses
in Latin, become more meaningful when you understand that Roman citizens
became increasingly addicted to free distributions of food and the
violent gladiatorial and other contests held in the Coliseum and the
chariot races of the Circus Maximus. He felt that Romans had lost
the capacity to govern themselves so distracted by mindless
self-gratification had they become.
Thus, bread and circuses, is a phrase now used to deplore a
population so distracted with entertainment and personal pleasures
(sometimes by design of those in power) that they no longer value the
civic virtues and bow to civil authority with unquestioned obedience.
Bread and Circuses has also become a general term for government
policies that seek short-term solutions to public unrest.
Unfortunately, Juvenal's words apply quite strikingly to the United
States, certainly a people who at the turn of the 3rd millennium are
almost wholly distracted by cheap fast food (relative to other
countries) and by the decadence of an entertainment industry that that
deals so much in sex, violence and propaganda.
I wonder how our own mass distractions compare with those of
Juvenal's era:
Disgracefully, the corporate news media gave the U.S. populace
saturation coverage of this "non-event." Do you think it was a
conspiracy to distract the people from various corporate accounting
scandals and downright felonious actions of Enron et al? Who knows?
Nevertheless, we were distracted!
Eventually the media feeding frenzy calmed down. Gary Condit was
never charged with a in the death of Chandra Levy. Talk about the
distraction of "bread and circuses!"
Well, enough of this foolishness already! I do fear that Juvenal
would probably be out of a job in the 21st century, since in our modern
times we do not really need a literary genius of his calibre, only a
humble scribe to write down the events of the day--epic or
inconsequential--gleaned from the mass media, especially those on the
small screen.
Yes, Decimus Junius, it is indeed hard NOT to write [down]
satire in these times, in the midst of a civilization, whose people and
(seemingly) its government are so consumed with panem et circenses,
that it continually satirizes itself.
You probably would have liked Benjamin Franklin—our first great man
of letters, and though not in your league as a writer of satire, was no
slouch with words. Like you, he served human liberty. As the story goes,
this exchange of conversation occurred as the now infirm 81-year old was
carried out on a "sedan" from Independence Hall in Philadelphia on
September 17, 1787 after he and the other 38 delegates had signed the
"What kind of government do we have, Mr. Franklin?"
"A republic," the elderly statesman, writer and scientist replied, ".
. .if you can keep it. . ."
"What kind of government do we have, Mr. Franklin?"
"A republic," the elderly statesman, writer and scientist replied, ".
. .if you can keep it. . ."

Listen folks, just because 12 Years A Slave is a very serious movie with a whole lot of Oscar buzz surrounding it does not mean that I'm not gonna ask every celebrity on the red carpet who their celebrity crush it. Well, after asking them all sorts of important questions of course.
The stars hit the red carpet last night for a screening of the incredible film at the Directors Guild of America.
Everyone was ecstatic on the red carpet and happy to talk about why they decided to work on the film.
The most common answer? Director Steve McQueen. Actress Kelsey Scott, who plays Anne Northup, told me, "What attracted me to the project was Steve McQueen. I was a fan of his work and there was an opportunity to work with him." Actress Ashley Dyke had a similar answer, "Reading the script and knowing that Steve McQueen was doing it is what I was like, "I'm in, I'm in."
So once we had all that squared away, I obviously needed to know their celebrity crushes, right? 10-year-old Storm Reid was happy to share hers. Justin Bieber. She even got to meet him. "He called me a sweetheart," she told me with a very excited look in her eyes. Still, meeting the Biebs wasn't as cool as being in 12 Years A Slave.
Everyone else was very vague with their crushes. Actor Garret Dillahunt couldn't even think of one, although his wife was happy to throw out Michael Fassbender as hers. Kelsey did say that she'd let me know if she ever goes on a date with any of them. So there's that!
Launch the gallery to check out all the photos from the red carpet last night. Also, Chiwetel Ejiofor is even more handsome in person. Remember to check out 12 Years A Slave when it hits theaters on October 18.

O2 retains Ericsson's services despite blaming it for outages
Moving from one dodgy piece of kit to another
UK MOBILE OPERATOR O2 has decided to keep Ericsson as a network kit supplier, despite blaming the firm for the recent outage that left 10 percent of its mobile customers with no service.
Ericsson has told The INQUIRER that although it will no longer be providing O2's Central User Database, which was blamed as the cause of last week's outage, it has been chosen as the supplier for the new system the mobile operator is rolling out to avoid further downtime.
"O2 are moving to classic HLR [home location registry] which Ericsson has provided for many years in the network and continues to do so," a spokesperson for Ericsson said.
On Wednesday, O2 COO Derek McManus released a statement indicating that O2 was ditching Ericsson completely.
"We are removing the Central User Database provided by one of our suppliers, which has suffered two different faults in the last few months," he noted.
"We are not prepared to risk this happening to our customers for a third time and are implementing a proven alternative solution."
O2 told The INQUIRER that the supplier in question was Ericsson, but when we asked who it was partnering with instead, the mobile operator declined to divulge that the faulty piece of kit being dumped was being replaced by another piece of kit from the same apparently unreliable supplier.
Despite the dent to its reputation from being revealed as the source of frustration for thousands of O2 customers, Ericsson stands to benefit from the whole situation. McManus noted that O2 would be spending an additional £10m on the move to the new system, so Ericsson stands to make a pretty penny out of it.
So that's where all the potential O2 customer compensation went. µ

Box Score
GAINESVILLE, Fla. - Alabama senior pitcher Kelsi Dunne kept the potent Florida bats quiet and Crimson Tide junior Amanda Locke's bat was far from silent as the duo led Alabama to a 5-0 win, Friday night at Katie Seashole Pressly Stadium. With the win the Tide improve to 42-5 overall and 16-4 in Southeastern Conference play.
Dunne (21-2) allowed just three infield singles as she handed Florida (38-8, 13-7 SEC) just its second shutout of the season. The senior struck out six and walked four to earn the complete game shutout.
Locke continued her torrid hitting at the plate by taking advantage of her name in the four-spot of the lineup. The junior batted 2-for-3, with a three-run homer to lift her average to .306 on the season.
Locke was the only Tide player to record a multi-hit game as Alabama banged out four on the evening. Senior Whitney Larsen reached base twice while junior Cassie Reilly-Boccia and freshman Kaila Hunt each recorded a RBI.
Florida threatened in the second inning after a leadoff walk, an error and then a bunt single, loaded the bases. Dunne was not deterred though as she buckled down and struck out the side to send Alabama back in the dugout with the scoreless tie.
Alabama chased Florida pitcher Stephanie Brombacher (15-1) quickly in the fourth inning and then opened the scoring with two runs in the frame. Reilly-Boccia hit a deep sacrifice-fly into left to score Larsen from third and then Hunt squeaked a ball through the left side to plate pinch-runner Ryan Iamurri from third.
In the fifth, the Tide added three runs on one swing of the bat. Locke took a 2-1 pitch with two outs and blasted her eighth home run on the season over the wall in left to score sophomore Courtney Conley and Larsen. Conley started off the inning with a double to left and then with two outs, Larsen drew a walk on four straight pitches.
The two teams will meet for the second time in the series on Saturday. First pitch is scheduled for 4 p.m. ET at Katie Seashole Pressly Stadium. The game will be the first of two in the series broadcasted on the ESPN family of networks. Beth Mowins, Michele Smith and Jessica Mendoza will call the action on ESPN2.
