Miss Robbie and Tim have made it back to St. Louis. However, Miss Robbie comes home to a full plate facing her. There is still family caregiver's issue with brother George, a back peddling landlord of the West Florissant location and now the editor is calling for the cookbook manuscript. Said manuscript somehow got put on the backburner since its three months past submission due date.
Charles' mom Janice has a heart-to-heart talk with him…again. You know the talk. Shape up or ship out. Janice tells him, given his usual M.O., that she doesn't believe he wants to move to Houston for a fresh start, but wants to run away from responsibilities. By "responsibilities," she may have meant the watchful eyes of the family members in St. Louis who keep him in check. Hmm, ponder on that Charles.
Miss Robbie has a secret recipe for sweet tea and it's a major hit with the customers. Naturally, Tim wants to bottle this Sweetie Pie's sweet tea and put it on the market. A mamma knows her child even if she doesn't know exactly what he or she might be up to. She keeps the tea leaves and recipe under lock and key. A good thing too because Miss Robbie catches Tim sniffing out the location.
Something else gets caught, or rather someone else. Charles. Miss Robbie spots Charles working at the bar and informs him of her knowledge of his current job status. Of course, she knows. His mom may have hired him, but she works for her sister. Now, if he messes up this time he's faced with the threat of not only being fired, but Janice will go right along with him. Geez! What a fine kettle of fish to be in.
Tim is on the phone with the realtor back in Houston and he is not hearing good news. He told his mama and Mr. Bussey this would happen. He told them. Earlier, Tim reminded Miss Robbie and Mr. Bussey that another interested party made an offer for the turnkey. But noooo, the two of them reminded Tim that this is usual real estate practice (or scare tactics) to push a prospect into rushing to sign on lease. And sometimes this is the case. Not this time. Someone not only signed a letter of intent but went ahead and signed a lease!
Oh, grits and gravy is about to hit the fan because Tim is fit to be hog-tied. He calls up an "emergency" meeting with Miss Robbie and Mr. Bussey who are relatively calm about the whole outcome. After serving Tim an invitation to whip her you-know-what since he's so angry, Miss Robbie tells her son to calm down. After all, if it was meant to be, it would be. Something better is liable to come along. Word to your mother. No, its words of wisdom from your mother.
Tune in next week to see if Tim got his entrepreneurial hands on those tea leaves which will surely make Miss Robbie's blood boil.
Watch 'Welcome to Sweetie Pie's' on Saturdays at 9:00 PM on OWN.

In our lecture notes, i am confused on how to determined the number of orbits with the given permutations in S4. If i consider the permutation (12) . I can also rewrite it as cycle decomposi- tion and that is (12)(3)(4). In practice we simply matters by not writing cycles of length 1 and that makes me understand why (3)(4) is not added in the above. In the example it says that the number of orbits is 3 and the 3 orbits are listed: {{1,2},{3},{4}.I was thinking may be our lectrure counted the number of sub-braces which is 3. Now, if we consider the permutation (123) which can be further written in cycle decomposition: (123)(4). It says the number of orbits is 4 and are listed : {{1,2,3},{4}}. Now, while trying to use my assumption above, i could not apply it in here. The number of sub-braces is 2 but the number of orbits is 4. I am confused!!! For the permutation (1234), The number of orbits is 1 which is listed: {{1,2,3,4}} which agrees with my assumption above. Can anyone show me the proper way of finding the number of orbits?

(The following analysis was used by Jim Cramer for a segment on his show, Mad Money. Check out the segment below.)
Off the Charts with Cramer: HGX
Tuesday, 10 January 2012 6:45 PM ET
Mad Money's Cramer turns a technical eye on the HGX to see what the charts indicate about the resurgence in housing, as interpreted by Scott Redler, T3 Trading Group chief strategic officer
Source: CNBC.com
Typically the stock market leads the economy by six months. Could we now be seeing signs in the market that the US economic recovery will pick up steam in the second half of 2012? The market is rallying the face of a weak Euro and strong dollar, buoyed by slowly improving economic data.
The home builders are another very encouraging sign right now. No one knows why this group is so strong right now. Perhaps they are indicating a bottom in the housing market on the horizon. This group has been very battered and bruised., so at least an uptick was not unexpected. Still, the rally has been more potent to the upside than anyone would have thought. An igniting move like this usually leads to more upside.
Technically we have seen five higher lows on the Daily Chart of the homebuilders ETF (XHB), which we haven't seen in several YEARS. The ETF is also above all major moving averages, another technical positive. If this rally continues to hold in the homebuilders, we could see the housing market follow over the next 6-18 months, which could be the foundation for a faster economic recovery.
I believe that 1410-1440 is a realistic target this year in S&P, IF the housing market can sustain some momentum. This could also lead the S&P to new highs the S&P by the end of 2014. When looking at the housing market, you have to realize its strength has major implications for the rest of the economy.
The bad news for those looking to get involved in the trade? The first, "easy part" of the move has already happened. Right now is probably a time to sit tight. We have seen investors get burned over the last year when chasing stocks or ETFs after big moves, and it is best now to wait for some kind of pullback.
The area I will be watching in the Housing Sector Index - HGX - will be $101.64-105.54. This would put it right between the 10-20 day moving averages. Strong groups typically hold this zone and would allow people in without being pigs. The line in the sand for a Composure change is the $97 zone, which, if breached, would suck the momentum out of this group.
The Index did push through a big trend line today through recent highs, again showing power and strength. This is not just a bottom feeder oversold bounce type of move. A break and close above this level opens the door for a move on the weekly chart to the $130 zone, although as mentioned I will wait for a pullback. That level coincides with the highs from March of 2010.
The S&P also looks great (and similar) technically. A break and close above 1292 opens the door for a move to 1320-1340 in this first quarter. Then, if we continue to get more positive data and good earnings, 1370 (last year's high) is in play as the next resistance level perhaps by mid-Summer. Ultimately we may see 1410-1440 at some point this year!
IF housing gets better and we see a continued leading indicator like we've see with this group, the high end target is not out of question.
Back in mid-December we said a bottom was brewing in the OIH around $110-$112. It's now at $121.25 looks to be on its way. Back on October 8th I gave a 75% chance on Real Money that the October 4th was the low of the year in the markets, and it could into the low for a long, long time.

SA could get its first Burger King outlet
Grand Parade Investments, through a subsidiary, plans to open South Africa's first Burger King restaurant in the first half of 2013.
The company said on Thursday its subsidiary, Utish Investments, entered into a joint venture with units of Burger King Worldwide to form Burger King South Africa.
Moneyweb reported on Thursday the deal was dependent on the approval of the South African Reserve Bank with certain subsidiaries of Burger King Worldwide.
The joint venture would be called Burger King South Africa, which would hold the master franchise in the country.
The website said Grand Parade Investments would have a majority shareholding in the joint venture, which would be funded from existing cash resources and new debt. – Additional reporting by Reuters. .

Hello, Stockholm Fashion Week!
FashionTV welcome to you to Stockholm, the capital of Sweden, and home to one of the most beautiful cities in the world; famed for its chic designs, modern aesthetic, and multicultural community.
This week, Stockholm take their hats off to some of the country's most innovative and independent designers at Stockholm Fashion Week (SFW).
While the world may recognise H&M, Acne, and Cheap Monday amongst some of Sweden's leading fashion brands, it'S always nice to take time and recognise the smaller independent labels who are leading the Nordic fashion scene in their own, innovative ways. And on Monday, SFW Retailers Collection kicked off for three days of "progressive fashion" and design, showcasing their Spring 2013 looks.
Swedish stylist @carolinaengman seeing double, as she posts her latest street look
While February and August are the major fashion weeks for ready-to-wear collections, this week marks a different kind of fashion -- and the turnout of blonde-haired, leggy Swedes is nonetheless impressive!
Swedish Streethearts
Trend-setting, avant garde, and edgy are the words that pretty much sum up the Swedish and Nordic fashion scene. And with the Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, H&M's designer collaborations, and Swedish supermodel Marcus Schenkenberg holding a heavy place in our hearts, it's hard not to love all things Sweden!
Swedish fashion royalty @elinkling models for Louis Vuitton photoshoot in Paris
Meanwhile, the edgy fashion capital is home to some of the top fashion bloggers and fashionistas in the world, with names like Elin Kling (blog: Style by Kling), Carolina Engman (Fashion Squad), Lisa Olsson (Lisa Place), and couple Hanna and John (Hanna O John) who capture fabulous Swedish fashion, lifestyle, and trends in an inspiring and fresh perspective.

It's dark, I've been kicked out of the common area (glowng blobl in the bottom left) because it shuts at minight. It's only twenty-five to in eastern standard time, damn it.
Yeah, I'm out here until the battery in my laptop dies, at which point I'm going to probably go to bed.
I'm up at 7 tomorrow (6 AM AEST) to pick up a rental (possible haggle over the no-show fee since I clearly did show up but they'd left early), and drive to Bermagui.
Dead on Arrival – Actually just unconscious
Image by James Morrison
My new N95 straight from Vodafone, initially I thought it just had a long boot time, but the Nokia logo never came off the screen apart from switching to the Vodafone symbol for a brief period when you don't touch it.
It won't even switch off without removing the battery and my laptop doesn't recognise anything has been plugged in when I connect the USB cable.
My first non Orange phone, not a great experience.
Having experienced the problems of a Sony Ericcson P990 I know there can be significant problems with high end phones. But it just feels as if there isn't enough quality assurance going on.

There's a microwave, coffee machine and a refrigerator. Just as important a two socket outlet with one socket available to plug in a camera battery charger!
Below is my submitted review to TripAdvisor verbatim:
Came to Hilton Garden Inn Seattle North on a Friday for a visit to the Trip Advisor ® Certificate of Excellence winning Future of Flight Museum, the Collings Foundation B-17 ride and the subsequent Saturday Flying Heritage Collection American Airpower Fly Day… very happy I did, got a lot of value for money for an avgeek vacation. The service was great, the sleep was legendary, the food tasted good and I was treated right.
See I came in off of a Skagit Transit County Connector + taxi connection to the hotel and was allowed to stash my bag until I could check into a suite. As documented in the photos, the suite was rather spacious and very clean. I had access to a microwave, coffee machine, refrigerator and a bathroom plus if I choose a nice desk.
Really, truly appreciate the great service from the complimentary shuttle from the hotel to Historic Flight for my B-17 ride. Since the comms to the shuttle to return me were fumbled and I had to wait, I received a complimentary fish & chips dinner. The fish was okay, the fries/chips were great as was the service in the hotel restaurant.
After more photo taking and a stop into the business center (no fee to use their computer to use the Internet briefly), I went up to my suite for the evening. The view from the hotel of the Boeing flightline and the Future of Flight was amazing. The adjustable sleep was so good my cell phone alarm didn't wake me, only the hotel wake-up call service (free) did eight plus hours later.
Decided to hop down to the restaurant for a small cup of coffee, a buttermilk pancake & bacon breakfast. The food was so good, I didn't stop to take a picture until well over half done with my meal.
Finally, I checked out of the hotel and after a hold was released, I received a kind complimentary shuttle to the Flying Heritage Collection for their Fly Day. Took many great photos.
Overall, no issues with the hotel. Best of the best… please if you can, stay here and be kind to the staff.
where do we go from here?

i still haven't really looked through my photos from my trek to colca canyon, but i have imported them onto my computer. working backwards, this was one of the last photos i took on my final day. i had already exhausted three camera batteries, mainly by taking long exposure night shots, so i had to resort to my backup camera. after spending the early hours ascending 1km we stopped in this small town for a few minutes. the town clearly catered for tourists and it had colourful llamas and tamed eagles for people to have photos with. maybe i'm affected by my animal volunteering experience but for me it's a fine line between exploiting an eagle on string and a dancing bear. and bears aren't for dancing. instead i had a colca sour – an even sourer pisco sour made with cactus fruit – and quietly judged.
here's the original
Pimp my Car System
Image by tiexano
Faller's "Car System" consists of battery-powered road vehicles that drive over a invisible magnet rail under the road. They also have lights. Not good enough for the Wunderland.
They pimp each vehicle with an infra-red interface that switches the light on and off in reference to the daylight and works the indicators and break lights, also siren and blue light on emergency vehicles.
The cars aren't bound on the same route at all btw. The computer generates an autonomous route for every car, considering traffic lights, road blocks and other cars. There are also two speed traps including tiny digital displays to indicate the speed. Cars that are to fast actually stop and get a ticket.

text: When the God-Beat-beat goes parliamentary, do the same standards of criticism apply? Do the same subjective questions religion-beat critics use to evaluate religion coverage — questions about the selection or reporting of religion stories, about the reporter's tone and level of respect or understanding of the subject matter, or just one critic's personal sense of an article's aesthetic, intellectual or partisan merits — hold up as measurable quantities when the point of the discussion isn't greater diversity and understanding but the charter and funding of a publicly-owned media corporation? These seem questions worth thinking about in the midst of the 10-year parliamentary review of the BBC's Royal Charter — which this year includes special investigations into specific areas of the BBC, including religion — and the testimony today of various clergy and religious representatives and academics, that the BBC has an "anti-religion bias" that permeates its news coverage and entertainment programming. The witnesses, including members of the British Muslim, Christian, Hindu, Sikh, Humanist and Religion Department communities, found proof of the bias in the BBC's soap operas — which contain verse-spouting Christians and Hindus living in arranged marriages — and the ignorance of some of its correspondents on religion matters, who try to "'fluff their way through complicated matters,'" and don't come prepared for interviews, and occasionally exploit the sensationalist aspects of a story. And sometimes, the BBC just doesn't portray religion as the "fabric of life" stuff that it is to the devout. Well, color us red, 'cause while we've made all the same complaints before about lousy religion writing, it's still a long leap from back-seat reporting to the assumption that such changes in coverage and tone can or should be made through an act of government. Especially a government eager to show itself sympathetic to the angry — and organized — religious viewer coalition that has been butting heads with the BBC all year long over such controversies as the risqué broadcast of Jerry Springer: The Opera. But what's worse than the banality of their revenge on the BBC is the aim of some of the "faith community representatives" to have the Parliament install an "accountability mechanism" that would compel the BBC to deliver a "fair and accurate reflection of religion in broadcasting" across the spectrum of its content (not just in news and religious programming). To state the obvious, as is apparently needed, the concept of a "fair and accurate" portrayal of religion is as subjective as most of our complaints have ever been, and the notion that one such single and binding standard could be found to apply to such a religiously-mixed country as Britain is as ludicrous as it is offensive. —Kathryn Joyce

LOS ANGELES - Arizona has been picked as the preseason favorite to win the Pacific-10 Conference basketball championship, according to a poll of the league's media. The Cats earned 32 of the possible 36 first-place votes and finished with a total of 356 points, outdistancing UCLA which finished in second place with 307 points.
The Bruins, who received three first-place votes, edged Stanford by 11 points for second place. The defending Pac-10 champion Cardinal received one first-place vote and earned 296 total points. Oregon and Oregon State rounded out the top five.
California, the 1999 NIT champion, edged USC for the sixth spot, while Arizona State, Washington and Washington State completed the poll.
This is the sixth time the Wildcats have been chosen as the league-favorite entering the season since the conference began the poll before the 1989-90 season. Arizona failed to live up to expectations just once when it finished third during the 1991-92 season while UCLA went on to win the championship.
The poll, which consisted of votes from league coaches for the first three seasons, has correctly predicted the eventual champion eight times in the last 10 years, including the last five in a row.

The members of the New Orleans Saints' secondary all received a set of boxing gloves from their coaches as a Christmas gift on Friday to go with the robes and trunks that safety Malcolm Jenkins had produced for the defensive backs before their Week 8 slugfest against the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Jenkins said the timing was appropriate considering the battle in store for the Saints at Atlanta on Monday night.
"We've talked about defending the title," Jenkins said of the genesis of the boxing theme. "Earlier this year when we played the Steelers, I bought everybody some boxing robes and that was kind of like a title fight. We knew it was going to be a physical game and that was the type of mentality we wanted to go into the game with. This (is the) same thing with Atlanta. We just want to go out here and we know it's going to be not just a fight for the division but a fight for this win. They're a good team. It's always a physical game. None of the teams even like each other. It's going to be a fun game to watch."

I'll be at Intervention7 this September!
I should have Sluggy Freelance Book 16 in hand (I hope!)
We STILL seem to have a RANDOM ARCHIVE GLITCH where clicking on the next comic will take you to the next comic page, but oddly display a comic from a totally different date. Hitting Refresh sometimes helps.
Pete Says: Saturdays *sniff-sniff* used to be brought to you by Clay Yount of Rob and Elliot! Clay you've been the best to work with (tied with Ian who was also the best!) and you know you always have a home here! Sure, BSFD may be over but now I have Cosmobear to look forward to!
Clay Says: I'd like to thank everyone for giving me such a warm reception from beginning to end of the Bikini Suicide Frisbee Days. Every comic has been a joy to create, and I couldn't ask for a better audience. I'd like to thank Pete from the bottom of my heart for giving me a chance to make you laugh (or groan) once a week, and I can't express how much I'll miss writing for his incredible cast. Sluggy was the first webcomic I ever read, and it has always held a special place in my heart. If I had the time, I would continue doing BSFD for as long as Pete would have me, but in order to pursue my new project, Cosmobear, I really need the time each week. This series is something I've been dreaming up since 2002, and I'm really excited to start it in the new year. It'll be a bit of a departure from my other work, as it'll be more story driven than a gag comic, but I'll try to keep it funny, and I hope that it'll be something you'll enjoy. I'd also like to thank all the Sluggy readers who have become Rob and Elliot fans, and my brother and I will try to keep you entertained there with wacky hijinks, albeit only once a week. I'll miss you guys a whole lot.

"I know it's no consolation to the accident that took your parents' lives; I know now that my speed was what caused it. I'm sorry for those actions. I wish I could take them back," Schmidt said Thursday morning in county Common Pleas Court. "I live with this every day of my life."
After his comments, Judge James L. Kimbler sentenced the 20-year-old to eight years in prison on two counts of aggravated vehicular homicide and one count of aggravated vehicular assault.
He faced a maximum sentence of 11½ years for the three charges.
"Well, Mr. Schmidt, the unfortunate thing about human justice … is that it has to start at the time of the act and go forward," Kimbler said. "I have no doubt that you would give anything you would have to go back and undo that act. But it's not given to you."
On Oct. 10, 2008, Schmidt was driving his 2008 Dodge Charger westbound on U.S. Route 224 in Harrisville Township and hit the Erbs' Pontiac Montana as it crossed Route 224 at Harris Road.
In addition to the Erbs' deaths, Schmidt's friend who was a passenger in the car, was seriously injured in the accident.
An Ohio Highway Patrol trooper testified during Schmidt's bench trial last month that information from the Charger's data recorder showed the car was traveling about 124 mph five seconds before the accident and about 75 mph immediately before.
Kimbler found Schmidt guilty after the three-day trial.
"Mr. Schmidt … is frankly addicted to speed. Speed is Mr. Schmidt's drug," Assistant Prosecutor Joe Dangelo said during Thursday's sentencing. Dangelo said Schmidt belonged to a "100 Mile an Hour" racing club and posted on Facebook pictures of a "tricked out" new car he bought one month after the fatal accident.
Schmidt's lawyer Lawrence Whitney asked Kimbler to take two factors into consideration during the sentencing.
"First, he was barely 19 when this accident occurred. And No. 2, I think this is a dangerous intersection in this county," he said.
"But it's especially dangerous when you go 124 miles per hour … in an area that has a posted speed of 60," Kimbler replied.
Kimbler also suspended Schmidt's driver's license for 20 years after he's released from prison, with a possibility for some privileges after three years.
Members of both the Schmidt and Erb families declined to comment after the sentencing.
"We're going to talk with the family and review some things and decide whether or not to appeal the court's verdict in the next week," Whitney said after the sentencing.
"I think the court imposed a fair sentence. It's a very tragic situation, with the death of two people," Prosecutor Dean Holman said after the sentencing. "This case just shows the danger of high speed. Hopefully this sentence will serve to deter others from driving in such a reckless manner."

Scientific Misconduct Is Jeopardizing the Quality...
Diseases of the Eye That Cause...
Widespread Adoption of Biomarkers Has Been...
Peptide Drugs Are Not Only Diverse...
National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) scientists found a variation in the gene GRIK4 that appears to make people with depression more likely to respond to Forest Laboratories' Celexa than people without the variation. This increase was small, but when people had both this variation and one in a different gene, shown to have a similarly small effect in an earlier study, they were 23% more likely to respond to Celexa than were people with neither variation.
The researchers studied DNA provided by patients participating in a recently completed NIMH clinical trial, the Sequenced Treatment Alternatives to Relieve Depression (STAR*D) study. The trial showed that depressed patients who don't benefit from the first medication they try, in this case Celexa, have a fair chance of being helped by others.
After the study, investigators evaluated the DNA codes contained in 68 genes suspected of being involved in depression, collected from 1,297 of the patients who had participated in STAR*D. In a study published in May 2006, researchers compared the DNA codes of those who had responded to Celexa and those who hadn't; the scientists found that responders were more likely to have a variation in the gene HTR2A. The protein produced by HTR2A acts as a receptor on brain cells for the chemical messenger serotonin.
In the newest study, researchers examined the genetic material of more of the patients who had participated in STAR*D, for a total of 1,816 samples and repeated the comparison of DNA from Celexa responders and nonresponders. They discovered that people with the variation in the GRIK4 gene, which makes a receptor protein in the glutamate system, had a higher likelihood of response and again found that the variation in the HTR2A gene also made people more likely to respond.
Scientists from the National Human Genome Research Institute, the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism, Mount Sinai School of Medicine, and University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center also contributed to the research.
Results of the study are in the August issue of the American Journal of Psychiatry.

Eliminated popping
The Fi2000 eliminated popping on deceleration and enhanced responsiveness across the board. I already had a set of Cobra Speedster Longs on my VStar 1300, and installed this Fi2000 along with a Cobra PowerFlo air intake. It took me a couple rides to dial it in, but my bike now rides and sounds like a different bike altogether. Highly recommended.

must have purchase
After purchasing the cobra slash-down speedster exhaust for my 950 v-star i had to buy the cobra fuel processor because i noticed some popping & mid range power loss i ordered it and in 3 days it was in my hands and 30 to 40 minutes later it was on my bike it would not have taken that long if the injector plugs would have been a little easier to get to i only took about a 4 mile ride because of bad weather but it did what they said it would no more popping and i got my mid range power back Thanks Dennis Kirk

does exactly what it was made to do
this might not be the best looking little programmer you'll ever find, but its engineered well, fits well and does exactly what its supposed to do. its not often that you find a product that fulfills its purpose without some other strings attatched, but this one does. simple as that. simple install, simply adjustments... reasonable price. i'm sold.
Review By: mattyvtwin
from southern NH
Great Value for the money.
I checked out several other brands of fuel processors and went with the Cobra and could not be happier. Easy to install and I am in NO WAY a mechanic. It took me less that an hour. The processer stopped all back firing when I decelerated. Dennis Kirk is a must for all metric bike pruchases.

Somehow, May is already here, and summer is dying to show Houston who's the boss in these parts when it comes to seasons.
Hot town summer in the city
Although Houston has been deceived and distracted by some mild and pleasant temperatures in late April and early May, no one is complaining about being willfully mislead, for now. When summer comes to town, and it'll be soon, it will have no mercy on this city. There will be no shortage of complaining about the heat and the humidity then. People are going to be crankier and less patient with shorter fuses. All it will take to push someone over the edge is for one person with poor judgment to say, "Is it hot enough for ya?" When this happens, all bets are off. Don't get caught in the crossfire. Take a musical tip from Kool and the Gang -You gotta run for shelter. You gotta run for shade. Lay low until summer packs up and leaves town, hopefully by October. However, summer is notorious for overstaying its welcome in Houston.
In the meantime, to help you ride the impending, merciless heat wave about to wash over this town, you can listen to the summer-related tunes below and hope an early and lengthy fall is on the horizon.
Cure for the summertime blues
- The Boys of Summer - Don Henley
Eagles' vocalist and drummer Henley nails the lazy, laid back feel of summer as he reminisces about and longs for the season to return with all of its treasures and trappings.
- Cruel Sun - Rusted Root
Rusted Root may be a jam band from Pittsburgh, but this tune with the sun at the center of its universe is tailor made for Houston in July and August when summers are at their most extreme.
- Summer in the City - Regina Spektor
This fragile tune is a reminder that summer isn't all beaches and fun in the sun for everyone. It examines summer in the big city and the inherent loneliness and isolation which is implicit with both.
- Here Comes the Sun - Richie Havens
Havens is able to takes this George Harrison tune of sun worship and add his own personal touch, with a fresh sound and somehow give it more life and energy than the original with an acoustic guitar and a little help from his friends.
- Naked Kids - GROUPLOVE
Despite its browser dangerous title, if you're not inspired to grab your friends, put the top down on the car, and make a pilgrimage to the beach when you hear this song, then maybe you should be summering at your winter home.
- Single Fins and Safety Pins - Japanese Motors
This simple little celebratory tune by a California-based band, takes you back to the beach party movies of the '60s but with a modern day perspective on shedding all of the burdens of the daily grind for fun and frivolity in the sand and surf. Like its beach party movie sing-along predecessors, this song makes you want to suit up and join the party.
- Stone in Love - Journey
Some summer memories are tied to events on dry land. Journey tapped into the pulse of its young fan base in the '80s with this tune reminiscing about those unforgettable summer nights filled with youthful romance.
- Waitin' on a Sunny Day - Bruce Springsteen
Springsteen does what he does best in this upbeat tune, celebrating the power of music to recapture an emotion and take you to a time and place where the sun shines down on you and all is right in the world.
- Windows Are Rolled Down - Amos Lee
Summers are usually too hot in Houston for most people to drive around town without air conditioning in their car. However, there's nothing more cathartic than rolling the windows down on a summer day, turning up your tunes on the radio, and driving with the wind in your face and the music in your ears as you dismiss the trivialities of life.
- Youth of 1,000 Summers - Van Morrison
Van "the man" Morrison is the master of painting a musical landscape with a few words delivered from his soul to yours. This tune is no exception as he equates youth with summertime, a truth you unfortunately don't realize until your youth and joy of the summer season have long since passed.
- I'm Gonna Miss You Like Crazy - A Sundae Drive
This Houston band is all too familiar with the harshness and the allure of summer in this city. This tune masterfully captures the helpless feeling as summer slips through your fingers and flutters away. It's no accident that this song was written by and performed by the two members in the band who happen to have day jobs as school teachers. The heartfelt conviction of this tune demonstrates how they must share a similar sense of loss and pain as their students when summer winds down every year.

I have this vpn client that touches the routing table and then keeps watching it to exit if it gets touched.
It is the kind of setup needed for an endpoint, such as a laptop.
I want to use a small pc as vpn endpoint and route through it for other machines on my LAN(192.168.0.0/24).
As I can't touch the routing table and all the packets are forced through the vpns tun0 device, I was thinking iptables could help me POSTROUTEing packets to the 192.168.0.0 network back to the eth1 device.
I am not sure though, how would this work, because once it exits eth1 it should resolve the IPtoMAC because it is already on the destination network, and I don't know if the packet has already that resolved or won't happen till it reaches the iface.
Any hints?

After the events of Forever Evil everything in the DC Universe has changed. Of all the villains no one has deserved their own series more than Green Lantern's foe Sinestro and finally he is. Creators Dale Eaglesham and Cullen Bunn bring the Yellow Lantern himself to his own monthly series with the aptly titled Sinestro # 1.
In this issue Thaal Sinestro has lost everything he's ever loved, but no matter how desperate he becomes, he will never be without fear...a lesson his one-time ally, one-time enemy Lyssa Drak is eager to teach him! Can he take back the despicable Yellow Lantern Corps or does the universe have a new destiny in mind for Sinestro? This issue introduces us to a different kind of Sinsetro, one that doesn't initially look to want to destroy or take over anything, but instead one that just wants to be left alone. This alone makes for an interesting direction for the character, but with the return of Lyssa Drak things are about to change back to some familiar territory, but not without ramifications. At the same time it takes a sneak peek at his back story again that leads into the world he left behind when he left his Yellow Lanterns without a leader. The artwork from Eaglesham looks great bringing a modern style that gives both Sinestro and the world around him a dark tone. While this issue is looking to set up this new direction for the character it still brings some action along for the ride that comes off great thanks to his work.
Green Lantern fans will no doubt be clamoring to see where Sinestro's world is going and if this issue is any indication it's going to be on hell of a ride. Prepare for the return, so use your fear to charge your ring and grab your copy of Sinestro # 1.

MACON, Ga. - Mercer University Athletics has announced that women's basketball head coach Janell Jones has resigned her position to assume the head coach position at Cal State Los Angeles. She will leave her duties at Mercer on June 30.
"Janell has done a great job for us," said MU director of athletics Bobby Pope. "We certainly appreciate all she did for the Bears' program and wish her well on her future endeavors."
In her three seasons at Mercer, Jones was a composite 35-56 after inheriting a team which went 4-26 her first season in 2007-08. The very next year, her team enjoyed the biggest RPI turnaround in the nation – a swing of 153 points – as her club finished 17-14. In 2009-10, the Bears were 14-16, but were the No. 2 seed in the Atlantic Sun Conference tournament, making an A-Sun post-season appearance for a second-straight season.
By assuming the reins at CSLA, Jones is making a return to California. Prior to joining Mercer's staff, Jones was the head coach at the University of California-San Diego.

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. ( Ivanhoe Newswire) -- Each year about 100 thousand women with breast cancer will undergo a mastectomy. For those who elect reconstructive surgery, it can be a long, painful process. Now a remote control is changing that.
When Michele Stapleton found out she had breast cancer, the busy manicurist wasn't too worried at first.
"and so I said, oh I'll have a lumpectomy no big deal and they said no, the tumor was too large and that I'd have to have a mastectomy," Michele Stapleton, told Ivanhoe.
As a precaution the mother of two had both breasts removed. Her next step, reconstruction, but doctor Ankit Desai says the process can often be long and painful. There's usually not enough skin to insert an implant after a mastectomy, so doctors have to stretch the patient's tissue with an expander and inject saline into it.
"They have to have a needle that's stuck through the skin. Sometimes that can cause some discomfort for patients," Ankit Desai, M.D., from the East Coast Institute for Research, explained.
As part of study, Michele is trying out a new tissue expander using a remote control. It allows patients to expand their breast tissue at their own pace in the comfort of their own home.
"I don't like needles. I don't like pain and if I can control what I do as far as how I expand, it was exciting to me," Michele said.
The remote control is placed against the expander and instead of saline injections carbon dioxide is released.
"And you press the button one time and that's it. It's delivered a dose," Dr. Desai said.
Patients go from weekly visits and injections for several months, to only having to come in twice and can be ready for breast implants in just weeks.
"You have control over it. That's the glory of it," Dr. Desai said.
Giving people like Michele more time for what matters.
The study is actively recruiting all over the country for mastectomy patients planning to undergo breast reconstruction. For more information on the trial go to clinicaltrials.gov or call 408-559-7192 MORE

Assessing the Implementation of Standards—An IMF Review of Experience and Next Steps
On January 29, 2001, the Executive Board of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) reviewed the experience that had been gained to date with the assessment and implementation of economic and financial system standards and codes, and discussed the next steps.
In the wake of the financial crises since 1995, the international community has emphasized the need for specific steps to strengthen the architecture of the international financial system. Increased transparency and the development and implementation of standards and codes in areas relevant to the effective functioning of members' economic and financial systems have been central elements of these efforts.
The concept of internationally agreed standards is not new: For many years standards have provided a context within which policy advice and technical assistance is provided to national authorities. However, in the last two years, the work has accelerated in developing international standards and codes to provide policy makers with benchmarks of good practice in key areas of policy. Encouraging greater transparency of countries' policies is a key aspect of many of the standards used by the IMF including the Code of Good practices on Transparency in Monetary and Financial Policies and the Code of Good practices on Fiscal Transparency. Standards also promote the use of consistent definitions. For example, the IMF's Special Data Dissemination Standard includes precise definitions for countries to use when publishing reserves data. Another important area of standards is financial market regulation. Expert bodies, such as the International Organization of Securities Commissions (IOSCO), which represents securities commissions from over 100 member countries, have extracted the common elements of a good regulatory system for securities that apply in various legal environments and markets of varying sophistication.
By promoting good policies and sound financial systems and by encouraging the release of accurate information to private markets, standards are designed to promote sustained growth and greater stability in international financial markets. Standards also allow potential investors and international capital markets to make informed cross country comparisons.
The World Bank and the IMF have collaborated closely to assess progress in implementing selected standards. In January 1999, the Fund initiated a pilot program for the preparation and use of summary assessments of members' implementation and observance of internationally recognized standards in those areas of direct concern to the Fund and where it had relevant technical expertise. These summary assessments were subsequently referred to as Reports on the Observance of Standards and Codes (ROSCs). In September 1999, the Fund's Executive Board agreed to an approach to the preparation of ROSCs whereby different institutions could be invited to take primary responsibility for undertaking assessments in the areas related to their competencies.
The World Bank subsequently identified areas in which it would be prepared to experiment with the preparation of ROSC assessments. These areas were selected to be consistent with the Bank's mandate for capacity building and poverty reduction, and for now cover corporate governance, accounting, and auditing, and, when standards are available, insolvency and creditor rights.
As of December 4, 2000, a total of 83 ROSC modules had been produced for 32 countries, of which 67 have been published on the IMF's external website. The majority of modules were prepared in the areas of data dissemination (11), fiscal transparency (18), monetary and financial policy transparency (18), and banking supervision (18). ROSC modules on financial sector standards have increasingly been prepared as part of the IMF and World Bank's comprehensive Financial Sector Assessment Program (FSAP).
Executive Board Assessment
Executive Directors welcomed the opportunity to review the experience of assessing and implementing standards and to discuss next steps in what is a complex and evolving area. They viewed the development and implementation of standards in areas relevant to the effective functioning of members' economic and financial systems as central to strengthening the architecture of the international financial system. While the work on standards is not new, as standards have provided a context for discussions between national authorities and Fund staff for many years, Directors noted that the increased attention to standards, and the introduction of standards assessments, are intended to help sharpen the focus of Fund policy discussions with national authorities and to strengthen the functioning of markets. They stressed that, by establishing a consistent, although not mechanistic, approach to standards assessments, Reports on the Observance of Standards and Codes (ROSCs) can provide rigor, content, and focus to the work on standards. Directors welcomed the broad based participation of member countries in the initiative, together with closer contact with standard setters and growing interest in the private sector as a sign of the increasing momentum for the work on standards.
Lessons from the review and implications for next steps
Directors highlighted a number of lessons from the review and drew out a number of implications for next steps:
Beyond these lessons, it was recognized that the concerns expressed by a number of Directors about the process of developing standards and assessing observance of standards needed to be kept in mind as we move beyond the experimental phase and to the establishment of the ROSC as a permanent and principal tool for assessing standards and codes. Several Directors suggested that more research needed to be done to assess the specific benefits of the use of standards and codes in reducing vulnerability to macroeconomic and financial shocks.
Ensuring an appropriate framework for the work on standards
Directors agreed that the adoption and assessment of internationally recognized standards will remain voluntary. They recognized that priorities for implementing standards would differ by country and through time, and assessments would need to take into account differences in members' economic circumstances and stages of development.
Directors encouraged the staff to continue its work on developing and managing Fund standards and codes, and to enhance its collaboration with other standard-setting agencies.
Directors recognized the 11 areas and associated standards and codes identified in the staff paper (see Attachment I) as those which are useful to the operational work of the Fund and the World Bank, and for which assessments will be undertaken as appropriate. They stressed that the list should only be reviewed and modified by the Executive Board of the Fund, in consultation with the World Bank, where appropriate.
Directors reaffirmed that the Fund would undertake assessments in the areas of data dissemination and fiscal transparency, and that assessments in the areas of monetary and financial policy transparency, banking supervision, securities, insurance, and payments systems will generally be undertaken in the context of the joint Fund-Bank Financial Sector Assessment Program (FSAP). They welcomed the steps taken by the World Bank toward the goal of preparing assessments in the areas of corporate governance, accounting, auditing, as well as insolvency and creditor rights, and looked forward to a significant increase in Bank-led ROSCs in these areas in the period ahead. Directors recognized the important role that representatives of standard setters and other institutions have played in developing assessment methodologies and in undertaking assessments, including through participation in missions.
Concerns about the process
While welcoming the work under way in the Fund on standards and codes, a number of Directors expressed concerns about the process of developing and assessing standards. They stressed the importance of ownership and of ensuring that all members had a role in shaping and guiding the work on standards, and indicated that the key aspect of achieving this aim would be the regular review by the Fund Board of the modalities under which assessments take place and of the list of standards used for such assessments. Directors welcomed the steps which have been taken thus far to address the concerns raised by some members, including: prioritization of assessments so that members are assessed only against those standards, and those parts of standards, which are relevant to their situation; and the fact that, in several cases, standard setters have adopted a multi-track approach, setting out benchmarks for countries at different stages of development. They also welcomed the proposal to include authorities' views on ROSC assessments. In order to ensure uniform treatment, Directors agreed on the importance of filling the current gap in procedures so that industrial countries can also be assessed against standards for which the Bank is in the lead. They also agreed that the staff should experiment with ways to fill this gap, including by allowing Bank experts to prepare assessments in the context of Fund missions.
While underscoring the importance of addressing the concerns that have been raised about the work on standards, Directors emphasized that a key benefit of international standards is the use of consistent definitions across countries and that it is important to maintain this consistency.
Directors agreed that members' implementation of standards identified as useful for Fund operational work is an important element in the assessment of the general economic situation and economic policy strategy of members. While differences of view were expressed about the modalities of linking the Fund's work on standards and codes to the surveillance process, on balance, Directors agreed to the modalities proposed by the staff and to the proposal for how these would operate in practice (see Attachment II). Many Directors emphasized that the provision of information by members on the observance of standards in the 11 identified areas was important to the conduct of comprehensive analysis under surveillance. These Directors agreed that ROSCs and ROSC updates, though voluntary, provide a systematic and structured way of organizing and presenting information on standards assessments to help guide and inform the surveillance process.
Most Directors recognized that if a member does not volunteer to participate in a ROSC, other sources of information, if available, will need to be used to inform surveillance, including standards-related technical assistance, self-assessments on which the staff has conducted due diligence, or could be the result of work in the context of an Article IV mission. These Directors indicated that, where they considered a country's observance of standards to be poor, or where the information available to them was insufficient, they would encourage countries to participate in a ROSC, including through the FSAP, as appropriate.
Many Directors, however, considered that, while standards assessments can help inform the surveillance process, they were concerned that the proposed modalities went too far in formalizing the link between the work on standards and surveillance at the risk of becoming too mechanistic. In particular, they considered that the proposed modalities risk bringing some standards closer to becoming an obligation of members and could overburden the surveillance process. These Directors did not see the need to move beyond the current practice and pointed out that this practice seems to be working well.
To ensure that the information contained in ROSCs remains current, Directors agreed that factual updates to ROSCs would be prepared and circulated to the Board at the time of subsequent Article IV reports.
Circulation and publication
Directors supported a transmittal policy for ROSCs to other organizations that follows the policy currently in operation for Article IV documents.
Directors agreed that the Fund's new publication policy formalizes the voluntary approach to publication of ROSCs. They agreed that any updates to ROSCs will be subject to the same procedure.
Directors agreed that ROSC modules will often be published following the conclusion of an Article IV consultation—at the time of the Fund's Board release of a Public Information Notice, where one exists. However, they also recognized that, in some cases, ROSC modules are finalized a number of months prior to the Board discussion of the Article IV consultation. In line with the recent transparency decision and in order to maximize disclosure, Directors reconfirmed that publication of finalized ROSC modules on the Fund's website could take place with the member's agreement and after notice to the Board. Several Directors asked that consideration be given, in some cases, to finalizing and allowing publication of ROSC modules derived from the FSAP in advance of the Article IV consultation.
Pace and prioritization of assessments
Directors noted that the work on standards has significant resource implications for national authorities and for the Fund. Most Directors indicated that maintaining the output of ROSCs at the current level was the minimum necessary for effective Fund surveillance. Some Directors viewed the current pace of ROSC output as adequate for effective surveillance. However, a few Directors were of the view that if ROSCs were to fulfill their objective of better informing surveillance and the private sector, the pace will need to be increased.
Directors called for a careful prioritization of work in this area. Some Directors, noting the critical importance of standards and codes, observed that this matter will be taken up in the context of the forthcoming budget discussion.
Technical Assistance (TA)
Directors recognized that the work on standards is leading to an increase in demand for the provision of TA to facilitate self-assessments, to implement standards, and to respond to recommendations contained in assessments. They urged as many countries as possible to make available additional technical specialists and resources to help meet this demand. Consistent with Fund Board recent guidance, Directors agreed that there could be a role for the Bank and the Fund to coordinate TA in this area in some cases.
Directors agreed that a further overall review of experience with standards assessments should take place in two years' time. In the meantime, the list of standards could be revised by the Board as appropriate. There will also continue to be periodic reviews of individual standards.
Attachment I
List of Standards and Codes Useful for Bank and Fund Operational Work
Group 1: these are the initial set of areas defined as within the Fund's direct operational focus when the ROSC pilot was initiated.
Data Dissemination: the Fund's Special Data Dissemination Standard/General Data Dissemination System (SDDS/GDDS).
Fiscal Transparency: the Fund's Code of Good Practices on Fiscal Transparency.
Monetary and Financial Policy Transparency: the Fund's Code of Good Practices on Transparency in Monetary and Financial Policies (usually assessed under the FSAP).
Banking Supervision: Basel Committee's Core Principles for Effective Banking Supervision (BCP) (usually assessed under the FSAP).
Group 2: these additional areas are assessed under the FSAP. It is arguable that the Fund's focus on financial sector monitoring under surveillance, and the development of the FSAP as the principal means to conduct that monitoring, combined with the Bank's responsibility for financial sector development, also make these areas of direct operational focus for both institutions.
Securities: International Organization of Securities Commissions' (IOSCO) Objectives and Principles for Securities Regulation.
Insurance: International Association of Insurance Supervisors' (IAIS) Insurance Supervisory Principles.
Payments Systems: Committee on Payments and Settlements Systems' (CPSS) Core Principles for Systemically Important Payments Systems.
Group 3: these areas were highlighted as important for the effective operation of domestic and international financial systems by the Fund Board1/ and are now being assessed by the Bank under the ROSC pilot.
Corporate Governance: OECD Principles of Corporate Governance.
Accounting: International Accounting Standards Committee's International Accounting Standards.
Auditing: International Federation of Accountants' International Standards on Auditing.
Insolvency and creditor rights: see paragraph 3 of staff paper.
Attachment II
Standards as an Operational Part of Fund Surveillance: Option 2
The following are the main elements of staff's proposals to implement Option 2:
Which standards are relevant for surveillance? The paper proposes that the Fund Board should establish a list of areas and related standards that it considers important for surveillance. Attachment I provides a suggested list for consideration.
What information should national authorities provide? Information would be sought for only those standards that are on the list. The information would need to be sufficiently detailed to allow staff to judge the degree of progress in implementation. In individual cases:
When would staff seek this information? Standards assessments would be an input into the Fund's Article IV consultation and would need to draw on the expertise of specialists. Thus, the information should be sought prior to an Article IV mission, and the implications of the assessment should be discussed during the Article IV mission.
Who should seek this information? The area department will be the main link between national authorities and the Fund. They would need to seek this information in consultation with relevant functional departments.
How would this information be obtained? Staff believe that it would be preferable to obtain the information through the preparation of ROSC modules. However, it may be possible to rely on other sources of information.
How often would ROSCs need to be prepared? At the current pace, every Fund member would, on average, receive four modules every seven to eight years. It would be possible to allow considerable variation around this average cycle. Countries implementing reforms, of systemic importance, or at greater perceived risk, could be assessed more frequently, but others would be assessed over a longer cycle. Nevertheless, it is not clear that this average periodicity is sufficient to be consistent with the view that ROSCs are the preferred method of obtaining information to inform surveillance in these areas.
How would ROSCs be kept current? Short updates could be prepared in the context of an Article IV consultation in years between the preparation of a module. These updates could be largely descriptive in nature and would be prepared by the area department. However, it is not clear that such an approach will provide the information necessary to undertake effective surveillance. The alternative of substantive updates would increase resource requirements.
What if a country does not volunteer for a ROSC? Participation in the ROSC is voluntary. If a member has not volunteered to participate, other information sets would need to be used to inform surveillance, if available. If a ROSC is not used, it would be important to say how the information was collected. Such information could be presented in an Annex with the limitations clearly spelled out. In the absence of a ROSC, staff could report on a member's self-assessment provided it had conducted a "due diligence" of the member's conclusions, and the results of standards-related TA or questionnaires could be used.
In cases where countries' observance of standards is deemed poor, the Board could encourage countries to participate in a ROSC.

The ultimate cruise-in takes place every February under the sheltering palms along the exclusive 5th Avenue shopping and dining district in Naples, Florida. Over 10,000 spectators enjoyed Chamber of Commerce weather this year as they admired and photographed more than 400 vehicles on display.
While Ferrari is always featured, other exotics and classics included are: Alfa-Romeo, Auburn, Audi, Bentley, BMW, Corvette, Ford, Lamborghini, Maserati, Mercedes-Benz, and Porsche. Sprinkled among the exotics and classics was a good assortment of muscle cars, customs, street rods, hot rods and even a couple of rat rods that looked out-of-place among all the highly polished cars and expensive shops.
True classics were rare. Most of the cars are true "drivers" but mostly on perfect weather weekends. Below is a list of significant classic vehicles that caught our attention:
- 1931 Ford Woodie
- 1936 Auburn 852
- 1948 Packard Super Eight Convertible
- 1955 Studebaker President
- 1956 Austin-Healey 100M
- 1964 Porsche 904 Carrera GTS
- 1970 Mercedes-Benz 300 SEL 6.3
- 1990 Ferrari F40
- 1999 Panoz AIV Roadster
- 2000 Lotus 340R
Many spectators stayed for the 3:00 p.m. mass exodus when all the cars are fired-up and ushered out into snowbird traffic. Proceeds from the event are directed to the Special Needs Children's Fund.

text: I'm trying to find an alternative to spriting the sprite's movement sheets. Right now, I'm literally re-drawing every single animation (with some copy paste from previous movements). It's become exhausting and very inaccurate. It's hard to depict exactly where pieces of the armor should be on the next movement slot and it creates many errors (although, you can't REALLY tell in-game, but it's annoying otherwise). Is there anyway I can make it so, for example, the body movement sheet should act accordingly to how the player moves without actually having to re-draw the entire sheet every time you create new armor?

Picabia associated himself with the subversive, anti-rational Dada movement, and made this work during a visit to Zurich when he first met fellow Dadaists Tristan Tzara and Jean Arp. In inking-up the cogs of a clock (a key Swiss product), Picabia undermined the rational measuring of time upon which the social order was based. Conversation, made three years later, also links the measurable (the carefully delineated stripes) and the sensual (the nude female torsos).

The Chi-town MC, formerly Mikey Rocks, has expanded beyond his notorious Cool Kids duo for a solo rap/producer career and has carried it out like a champ. His upcoming project is a mixtape titled Banco which is where this track, Money Came, will live. The hypnotizing instruments lay down the pathway for Sir Michael to spit his simple, yet very original and effective lyrics. For real tho, I feel like I need to be playing a sea level in Super Mario with a controller from '93 in my hand.

Feb. 21, 2001
This Week: The second ranked UCLA Bruins (3-1 overall, 1-0 MPSF) will head to Santa Barbara this week to participate in the 2001 Gaucho Tournament, which will be held February 24-25. The round-robin competition consists of four brackets of four teams each, with the Bruins seeded at No. 1 in Bracket A. Fourteen of the top teams in the nation, including 10 MPSF teams, will be participating in the annual tournament.
The Bruins' first match of the tournament pits them against UC Irvine on Saturday, Feb. 24 at 11:30 am. Following their match against UCI, the Bruins will likely face the winner of the Princeton/ UC Santa Barbara match at 4:10 pm. Further game times and opponents are dependent upon Saturday's results. The semifinal game is scheduled for Sunday at 11:30 am and the championship match is set for Sunday afternoon at 4:10 pm.
UCLA vs. UCSB Tournament Opponents: All MPSF teams will compete with the exception of Hawaii. No. 9 Michigan, No. 10 UC Davis, No. 11 UC San Diego, No. 15 Loyola Marymount, No. 17 Princeton as well as Hartwick round out the Gaucho's 16-team tournament. UCLA has met 13 of the participants before and owns a winning record against each of them. The Bruins have never faced Hartwick or Princeton.
As usual, the Bruins' toughest competition will come from No. 1 Stanford, No. 3 USC and No. 4 California, should these teams meet. UCLA last met Stanford on Feb. 11 at the Stanford Invitational Tournament when the Cardinal handed the Bruins a 7-6 loss. However, UCLA still owns an 11-7 series advantage over the Cardinal. UCLA is now 15-7 in the series against USC, having last defeated the Trojans 11-4 in last year's championship game. The Bruins defeated California in the Stanford Invitational semifinal match, 6-4, on Feb. 11 and are now 16-5 in the series against the Bears.
UCLA in the polls: UCLA enters the early season ranked second in the initial National Collegiate Women's Top 20 Poll.
Last Week: UCLA began MPSF conference play at home last weekend by defeating the San Diego State Aztecs, 21-3. The Bruins came out firing, taking an early 5-0 lead in the first four minutes of the opening period, before the Aztecs were able to put up a goal of their own. The second quarter mirrored the first as the Bruins put up five goals to the Aztecs' one, and went up 10-2 at the half. The Bruins dominated the second half, outscoring San Diego State 7-0 in the third quarter and 4-1 in the final period. Nine different players scored for the Bruins, including a career-high five second-half goals for freshman Natalie Golda. Sophomore Jessica Lopez matched a career-high by hitting the back of the net four times.
Bruin Notes: With her career high five goals in the second half against San Diego State, freshman Natalie Golda (La Habra, CA/Rosary HS) has taken over the early season lead in goals scored with eight. Sophomore Robin Beauregard (Huntington Beach, CA/Marina HS) is second on the squad with seven goals and has scored in all four games this season. Senior Coralie Simmons (Hemet, CA/ Hemet HS) leads the Bruins in assists with nine, and sophomore Jessica Lopez (Commerce, CA/Bell Gardens HS) is first on the team with eight steals.

James O'Barr, the creator of "The Crow" comic, is set to serve as a consultant on the upcoming cinematic reboot of the property for Relativity Media.
O'Barr and the film's director F. Javier Gutierrez are scheduled to appear at Comic-Con in San Diego in July to discuss the film and meet with fans.
Cliff Dorfman penned the new film which will star Luke Evans and begin filming in early 2014. O'Barr says that the new movie will not be a remake of the 1994 film so much as a new adaptation of the comic book itself.
He adds: "I believe that this movie will stand alongside Brandon [Lee] and his film as a valid work of art, and I look forward to collaborating on the project."
