Few people in the pop world right now need to change the discussion about them more than Lana Del Rey. You know the story with Lana by now—the SNL performance, the internet backlash, the album, the lousy reviews, the many questionable interviews, etc. A common theme among the latter has been Lana revealing Just Like Us information about herself in an attempt to seem human, such as when she divulged to MTV that she was still holding on to her old babysitting gig. Fair play, but this seems a little far to us. Check out what piece of information she "revealed" about herself in a recent interview with T Magazine:
Before she goes, I ask her where she lives. She's looking to buy a place, but for now is in Williamsburg. "Staying with my ex-boyfriend," she says nonchalantly, then bursts into nervous laughter and admits, "I live on his couch."
Hmm. Suddenly famous internet-exploding person still lives on somebody else's couch? Sound a little bit familiar to you? Well, if you live within a 200-mile radius of the New York metropolitan area or have even the slightest of passing interests in the National Basketball Association, it damn well should—it's the same backstory as unexpected star New York Knicks point guard Jeremy Lin, who has been crashing on the couches of teammates and relatives while single-handedly resurrecting one of basketball's historic franchises. (Hell, his brother's couch even got featured in an article on Buzzfeed, an has become part of the entire Lin mythos/creation story.)
We suppose we can't really blame Lana for wanting to leech off Lin's backstory—after all, the dude is being universally celebrated and venerated in a way that she, uh, wasn't, and his sales are way better—but damn, LDR, try not to be so transparent about it next time. If we see you and M.I.A. "appropriating" the Lin / Landry Fields handshake ritual thing, we won't be terribly forgiving.

College Hockey:Walton Hatter, OT Winner Lift Western Michigan
Broncos Escape With Win At Bemidji State
BEMIDJI, Minn. — Brent Walton's first career hat trick, including his game-winning goal 12 seconds into overtime, lifted Western Michigan to a 4-3 victory over Bemidji State in nonconference action from John S. Glas Fieldhouse.
With the win, WMU remains unbeaten in non-league play (5-0-0) against College Hockey America opponents this season.
The Broncos trailed by two goals late in the game after BSU took a 3-2 lead on captain Andrew Murray's tally at 12:53 of the third period. Walton pulled WMU within a goal with a deflection just under the crossbar on Jonathan Lupa's shot at 17:30. Walton's second goal was not credited immediately by the referee, but eventually counted after officials consulted with the goal judge.
The Beavers (8-7-0) opened a 2-0 lead in the first period, building a 14-7 advantage in shots. Matt Pope scored just 14 seconds in, slipping a backhander past Daniel Bellissimo. Luke Erickson added another even-strength goal on a one-timer with 2:45 left in the period.
WMU (9-7-1) rallied with a pair of second-period goals, as Brent Walton and Ryan Mahrle struck four minutes apart. Walton blasted a slapshot off a rebound in front of freshman goalie Matt Climie on the power play while Mahrle capitalized on a two-on-one rush.
"We knew coming in it was going to be a hard-fought game and that's how it turned out," said WMU coach Jim Culhane. "We gave up two quick ones but I'm proud of the way we responded to come back."
The teams square off again Saturday night at Glas Fieldhouse, starting at 7:05 CST.
WMU was the only CCHA school in action Friday … Walton took over the CCHA goal-scoring lead with his 14th marker of the season. He was also named the game's No. 1 star … Bemidji State entered as the nation's seventh-highest scoring team …Western is 23-10-3 versus nonconference opponents over the past five seasons.

The first concert announcement for the 2014 series, a show by Christian rockers Needtobreathe on June 10, came on February 18. Today, shows featuring Blue October, Hairball, The Nadas, and Fitz and the Tantrums were all added to the 2014 schedule. All of the shows will be held at the Simon Estes Amphitheater in Des Moines (unless moved due to inclement weather).

Texas modern rockers Blue October will play Nitefall on Saturday, May 24 at 8 p.m. The band's albums have topped the Billboard Alternative chart twice and the Rock chart once while producing four Top 20 singles.

Tickets for the concert will be $20 in advance and $25 at the gate.
80's and 90's arena rock impersonators Hairball will return to Nitefall on the River again in 2014, playing the Des Moines riverfront on Thursday, May 29 at 7 p.m. The Minneapolis-based group impersonates all the big rock bands of the era, including Twisted Sister, Mötley Crüe, Van Halen, Poison, Alice Cooper, Queen, Journey, Aerosmith, KISS, and more. Tickets for the all ages event will be $20 in advance and $25 at the gate.
Des Moines alt-rock/country band The Nadas will return to the Simon Estes stage on Friday, June 6 at 8 p.m. The band has been a Midwest staple for almost two decades. They released their latest album Lovejoy Revival in February of last year. Tickets to catch the all ages show are $15 in advance and $20 at the gate.
Los Angeles-based indie soul/pop group Fitz and the Tantrums will play Nitefall on the River on Tuesday, July 29 at 8 p.m. The band's debut album Pickin' Up the Pieces topped the Billboard Heat chart and hit #18 on the Indie chart in 2010.

Their sophomore effort peaked at #26 on the Billboard 200 and produced the #1 Alternative single "Out of My League" (featured video).

Senior Paige Cuscovitch leads Colombia with eight goals and 10 points. Sophomore goalkeeper Colleen Packer has started all four games in cage for the Lions and has recorded 21 saves and allowed 42 shots in. This will be the second matchup of the two teams, when Fresno State traveled to New York last year the Lions won 16-7.
Levatino Records Season-High
Junior Marcy Levatino finished two road games last weekend with six points and five goals for the Bulldogs. Levatino had one goal against Oregon on Saturday and recorded a team-high five points off four goals and one assist against UConn on Sunday, marking a season-best for the junior attacker.

We have to develop a web mail client for one of our clients, and we're looking for an email server we can utilize that would possibly be able to interface with PHP.
We'll most probably host on Ubuntu Server edition with Apache, but obviously, writing the server itself would be reinventing the wheel, which we want to avoid at all costs.
Can anyone recommend an email server that we can use that is possibly administered by the command line in Ubuntu? We don't want a email server that is too tightly integrated with it's own UI, as we might even want to add administrative features for the server in the webmail application.

STARKVILLE, Miss. – In one of its biggest games in recent memory, Mississippi State looks to defend its home court once again as it hosts No. 3 Florida on Thursday. Tip-off at Humphrey Coliseum is set for 6:02 p.m. CT on ESPN2, with Rece Davis and Bob Knight serving as courtside analysts.
The Bulldogs (13-6, 3-3) look to bounce back from an 82-63 defeat at Ole Miss on Saturday. I.J. Ready returned from injury to score 13 points, while Roquez Johnson also added 13 points.
Craig Sword leads MSU with 13.9 points per game. Gavin Ware averages 11.0 points and is tied for third in the SEC with 8.2 rebounds an outing.
Rick Ray's squad continues to excel at creating turnovers, as the Bulldogs are second in the league with 8.8 steals a game.
The Gators (17-2, 6-0) enter the contest on an 11-game winning streak after claiming a 67-41 victory against Tennessee on Sunday. Florida leads the SEC in scoring defense, allowing just 58.8 points per outing. Casey Prather leads UF with 16.8 points a game, while Scottie Wilbekin averages 12.5 points.
MSU holds a 34-21 all-time series lead in Starkville. A win on Thursday would be Mississippi State's 400th all-time victory at The Hump.
Mississippi State is looking for its first win against a ranked opponent since beating No. 18 Arizona in November of 2011.
Florida won both meetings between the schools last season, downing the Bulldogs 82-47 in Starkville and 83-58 in Gainesville. MSU has not lost consecutive home games against Florida since doing so in 2001 and 2003 and has not lost two-straight games all season.
Following Thursday's clash, the Bulldogs will head to the Music City for a matchup at Vanderbilt. The 4 p.m. CT tilt at Memorial Gym will be televised by FSN.

|Spinwatch have today released a report which will make very interesting reading for British Muslims concerned at the reach and impact of the think tanks Centre for Social Cohesion,
(which merged with the Henry Jackson Society as of 8th April 2011), and Policy Exchange on public policy affecting Muslims in the UK.
The report, co-authored by Tom Mills, Tom Griffin and David Miller, details the rehashing of the Cold War counter-subversive strategy by these think tanks in their current 'research' output on multiculturalism, Islam and 'Islamism'.
The report places the CfSC and PX in their historical context, looking at the counter-subversive strategy used against the Left during the Cold War and outlining the extension of the failed policy of the past in their present orientation and focus on British Muslims.
The report moves on to "critically examine the strategies and arguments that have been advanced by these two think tanks" demonstrating how "they have implicitly rejected counter-terrorism policies based on public safety, advocating instead a much broader campaign of political counter-subversion."
The authors argue that the strategy of CfSC and PX has not only proved "a distraction from effective counter-terrorism policies," it, more damagingly, has the potential to "stigmatise and even criminalise politically active Muslims". Something we have often argued in our various analyses of 'reports' published by the two entities (see here, here, here, here, here, here and our Insight article, here).
The report also examines the financial backers of the think tanks to "reveal for the first time the network of individuals and foundations that are bankrolling the cold war on British Muslims."
The report finds that "many of the donors have extremist political agendas, arguably calling into question the ability of these think tanks to produce fair and balanced research".
The report also critiques the CfSC's studies on the BNP for "underplaying the extent to which the BNP has been influenced by other Islamophobic currents."
The report can be downloaded here.
Perhaps next the Spinwatch team might explore the media network that popularises the output by CfSC and PX to embed their counter-subversive strategy in the popular consciousness.

A booklet published by the Ministry of Agriculture and Water and entitled 'Overview of agricultural development in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and a briefing on its humanitarian contributions toward global food security', reports that from 1963 to 1995 the Kingdom donated a total of U.S. $ 326 million for those in need in 38 countries worldwide as its contribution to the World Food Program. In recent years, the Kingdom has adopted a new policy of offering assistance by presenting donations in kind, such as locally-produced dates and wheat.
In addition, up to the end of 1995 the Kingdom had donated a total of U.S. $ 140 million in emergency assistance to countries suffering from famine, poverty or drought, with another U.S. $ 17 million allocated for the purchase of food and U.S. $ 32.8 million for the construction and excavation of wells equipped with the necessary pumps and reservoirs to supply the inhabitants of villages and rural areas with clean drinking water. Moreover, in the two decades from 1975 to 1995, Saudi Arabia paid U.S. $1.67 billion in support of countries afflicted with natural disasters, such as earthquakes and displaced migrations.
Furthermore, the Kingdom has declared cancellation of official debts totaling U.S. $ 6 billion in response to a request raised in the sixth Islamic summit conference in Dakar in 1992. A total of 72 countries have benefited from soft long-term loans amounting to U.S. $ 70.06 billion. Moreover, Saudi Arabia has contributed U.S. $ 367 million to the International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD), representing 13 percent of its capital. In addition, the Saudi Fund for Development has provided soft long-term loans worth U.S. $ 1.24 billion to developing countries to support 69 projects involving irrigation, soil reclamation, plantation, well-digging, and dam construction.

text: Here's a cool shot from the Nightfire roughly twenty or so years (or even more) ago. Not many will disagree this car has been driven by more people than you can shake a stick at. Over the years, we've seen maybe as many as twenty different racers behind the wheel of the Lo-Bucks Chevy II Nova. Owned by Stan & Kathy Soran (brother of Dan), they've been gracious enough to loan this car out to relatives, friends, heck, probably even a next door neighbor or two. Behind the wheel of this shot is none other than Tom Brannan, a guy that won a Firebird track championship and was once recognized as "T.V. Tommy" after an appearance on the NHRA Today national t.v. program. Surprisingly enough, this car has never left the ownership of the Soran family. It's pretty cool seeing a car like this out at the dragstrip (every once in a while), especially when you consider it's been around Firebird for nearly as long as the track has been in operation.

This focused approach on a single class, combined with small class size, ensures easy access to faculty and hands-on education that meets your needs.
The Design program at Keiser University was filled with real world learning and hands on instruction… Based on the portfolio I created while a student at Keiser University, I landed a job in Graphic Design for a major online retailer immediately after graduation.
The year and a half I spent in the program better prepared me for attaining a job in the field…As a hands-on learner, the project-centered teaching was perfect for me.
Keiser University has given me the opportunity to embrace a career change… It has opened the door for a timely graduation and quick return to the work force…
Without the education I received at Keiser University, I would not be where I am today!
I not only received an excellent education but also encouragement and training that built my self-confidence every day.
I realize the amount of knowledge I gained and feel that the educational experiences have developed me in to a person who can move higher up the career ladder.
Keiser University's MBA program has renewed my mind, changed the way I think, and given me a new sense of purpose. The professors transformed my attitude and behavior, gave me the self-confidence I was lacking, and restored my energy.
It has been great attending and graduating from Keiser University. Because of the small class sizes, I was able to build good relationships with classmates and professors. The PA professors care very much about the progress and success of the students and have been great advisors every step of the way through the program.
Attending Keiser University and getting my degree was the best decision I have ever made. The small class sizes and personalized attention helped me get my degree quickly. The hands-on experience and the education landed me a job at a neighboring law firm.
I chose Keiser because it had everything—small classes, caring professors, hands-on learning, and counselors that are really there for you. I feel like I'm part of a family here, not just a number.
After being denied for several promotions at my current employer, I decided that I needed to further my education. Since graduating from Keiser with my bachelor's degree in Business Administration, I have been promoted and I am able to obtain positions that weren't available to me before.
Keiser helped change my life by getting my education at the right school! I have been going to another school before, dropped out because I felt that I was not getting enough information that I need. When I found out about Keiser, I was pleased because the instructors were great.
My decision to attend Keiser University has been one of the best decisions I've made. I chose to enroll in the Information Technology program… The one-class-a-month pace helped incredibly with my self-discipline.
The BA for Business Administration at Keiser has to be one of the best in the nation. Keiser takes the basics that are taught at the Associates level and uses them to strengthen your skills and knowledge.
I found that Keiser University's Nuclear Medicine program of advanced studies and small class size was a perfect fit. I never came across a faculty member who wasn't truly interested.

A blaze in southeast Redding Sunday afternoon burned through brush and dry grass before fire crews were able to halt its spread.
The fire off of Goodwater Ave near Rancho Rd started around 1:15 p.m.
According to a Calfire official at the scene, 8 to 10 acres were charred.
The fire burned onto property ownded by Valley Christian Fellowship, but fortunately never really came close to the church.
"We saw the fire trucks come down our street and I looked over and said, "that's got to be over at the church." so I raced over here," says Church Elder Steve MacFarland. "We came out to check and see and sure enough it had burned on to the north end of our property. (We) drug one of our hoses out of the garden here but the fire trucks, they were right here on the scene. "
About a half acre of grass burned on the church property.
A home next door, where a youth minister lives, was also breifly threatened.
Units from CALFIRE, Anderson and Redding fire departments responded.
No injuries have been reported and the cause of the blaze is under investigation.

With the fourth installment in our look at the worst Oscar snubs of the past 25 years, we take a look at the Best Picture snubs – The "Citizen Kane" category.
The Academy Awards ceremony is just three weeks away and, unlike previous years, there doesn't seem to be a consensus opinion among critics as to which film is the "best". Normally you can see a growing trend by the time the Oscars arrive, but this year there seems to be some dissidence regarding the critic's favorites.
- Golden Globes: "American Hustle" and "12 Years a Slave"
- Bafta Awards: "12 Years a Slave" and "Gravity"
- New York Film Critics Circle Awards: "American Hustle"
- Gotham Independent Awards: "Inside Llewyn Davis"
- LA Film Critics' Awards: Tie "Gravity" and "Her"
- The Critics' Choice Awards: "12 Years a Slave"
You may say that when you exclude "Her" and "Inside Llewyn Davis" – which is not nominated – that it's basically just a race between three films, but it's very hard to find a year where three films had equal chances to win.
Take 1994 as an example. There was "Pulp Fiction" one of the defining films of our generation and "The Shawshank Redemption" which as of right now sits at #1 on the ALL-TIME BEST FILMS LIST on IMDB. Each of these films could win in any given year, but NOONE gave them a snowballs chance in hell of beating out "Forrest Gump". 1994 was one of the finest years in filmmaking EVER, but even then the winner was obvious months before the awards.
So, to say that this year's awards are unique is an understatement. The big question is…do these awards even matter?
Sure awards are nice and all, and they make a great dining table centerpiece or a necklace that would make Flava Flav drool, but those awards only get you so many free meals at restaurants. However, if the films you produce win zero awards, but generate huge box-office grosses then you won't need those free meals, now will you?
So what is the ultimate goal for filmmakers – to make great films worthy of awards, or to make money? It's pretty obvious once you look at the numbers. We'll be looking at the domestic figures since the Oscar is a domestic award.
Over the past 25 years, 138 films have been nominated for Best Picture. Out of those, only 53 films were among the top 20 grossing films of the year (38%) and only 29 were among the top ten (21%). If we look at the films that eventually won the Oscar we find that only three were that year's top grossing film ("Forrest Gump", "Titanic", and "Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King"), and this gap seems to be widening dramatically.
Throughout the fifteen years from 1989 to 2003, 24 of the nominees for Best Picture were among the top ten grossing films (an average of 1.6 per year), not bad.
In the ten years since, there have only been five (an average of one every two years), not good. Notably, during the four years from the 2004 awards to the 2007 awards, out of 20 nominated films, only two cracked the top 20 grossing films, and neither was in the top ten.
The frontrunners for this year's Best Picture award are "12 Years a Slave", "American Hustle", and "Gravity". Of these, only "Gravity" cracks the top twenty at number seven. "American Hustle" comes in at number 22 and you can find "12 Years a Slave" way down the list at number 74.
The Best Visual Effects category may be a better gauge of American's preference in movies. Four of the five nominees are among the top 11 grossing films of the year. "The Lone Ranger" – which for some ungodly reason was nominated over "Man of Steel" – is a bit further down at number 40.
So what can we make of all this? One of my favorite film related websites, Pajiba.com, recently posted an article stating that the Academy got the Best Picture award wrong 19 out of the past 20 years. You may not agree with all of Pajiba's choices, but the opinion of which films are the "best" is entirely subjective and open for debate. With only a select number of open spots for nominees, there are quite a few great films that are left out of the eternally elite.
1993 is a great example.
"Schindler's List" won Best Picture, and it's hard to argue against that. However, my problem is with the other nominees. I'll see your:
"In the Name of the Father", "The Fugitive", "The Remains of the Day", and "The Piano".
And I'll raise you:
"Jurassic Park", "Philadelphia", "Sleepless in Seattle", and "Tombstone". Which list would you rather watch?

Lake area rivals Quitman and Rose Bud open their season on opposite sidelines for the fifth consecutive year tonight, a day earlier than scheduled. With the competitive series tied at 2-2, the winner takes home bragging rights for at least a year. Look for game story and photos in Wednesday's edition of The Sun-Times.
Originally scheduled for Friday, the game was moved up to Thursday due to the threat of storms produced by Hurricane Isaac.
Guaranteed to be full of intensity, passion and hustle until the final whistle with both teams using no-huddle high octane spread attack, the two have combined for 156 points in their past two meetings with the Ramblers winning 39-33 in 2010 and the Bulldogs prevailing 48-36 last season.
"Everybody knows everybody," said Rose Bud Coach Steve Rose. "A lot of the kids are related. They get fired up to play us and we get fired up to play them."
Quitman Coach Fritz Heidenreich said the entire town is pumped up. "It is a big game for Quitman, especially being the smaller school. The cheerleaders have painted the town black and gold with signs and posters everywhere. A lot of people are fired up about it."
For Quitman to win, Heidenreich said his team must slow down Rose Bud duel-threat junior quarterback Christian Reynolds (6-2, 195). "A big key for us is stopping Christian Reynolds. They run the option very well with him. He is a big time athlete that can run and throw. We have worked hard on the option but that doesn't mean we are going to stop it. We haven't done the best job of tackling [in practice]. They have a tough runner inside [Cole Robertson] and throw a lot of screens too."
Rose expects to see a heavy dose of senior all-state running back Allen Mannon (5-9, 210) and senior all-state receiver Hunter Martin (6-2, 185), who lines up all over the field. "Last year they really hurt us with the screen, reverses and misdirection plays. They were able to gash us on some of that stuff. With Mannon and and Martin, we think they will have a very good ground game."
Rose Bud appears to have an advantage in size and depth. "We haven't seen them scrimmage but athletically, I think it will be a fairly even match-up," said Rose. "Our depth is usually an advantage for us. We are bigger and have pretty deep depth for a 3A school. The speed is about even."
Entering his fourth year as head coach and fifth season at Quitman, Heidenreich said this is the best Rose Bud team he has seen. "I think they have a size advantage and probably a depth advantage. We've got some guys that can run and make things happen with the ball. So, we've got to spread the ball around and we can't turn it over. This is the best Rose Bud team I've see. They beat Bigelow like yard dogs."

At the April 25 Galax City Council meeting, council voted to get rid of city decals for vehicles in fiscal year 2017.
The vote was made after Finance Director Judy Taylor-Gallimore presented the option to merely add the $25 former decal fee for cars ($15 for motorcycles) onto personal property taxes.

I would like to say the people who cleaned on Virginia 94, Brush Creek Mountain, really did a good job and I appreciate how clean it looks through there. I wish everyone would not throw trash out. These people have to work hard to pick it up. But if I was able, I would be helping these people pick up trash myself. The people that did that, it all leads to what the community looks at and that you care. Thanks again.

During the past two years, 62 tornadoes hit Virginia, killing 10 people and injuring more than 200. Some 210 homes were destroyed, and more than 1,050 were damaged. Nearly every part of the state was affected.

We were given a wonderful opportunity and a night of information and enjoyment when Word of Life Evangelical Church opened its doors to over two hundred people in Bedford Sunday night.
The general public was invited to view the movie Finding Faith. Finding Faith is a full-length narrative motion picture. This film is a faith-based production that included Erik Estrada starring as the Sheriff of the Bedford County Police Department.
There's an old saying about elephants having a long memory, which certainly makes them an appropriate symbol for Republicans in the U.S. Senate.
They don't forget; and they don't forgive, either. They proved it at confirmation hearings for one of their own, former Senator Chuck Hagel, whom the president has nominated to be Secretary of Defense.
A delegation from the teachers' union showed up at last week's board of supervisors meeting to whine about their pay. What a tragic tale they told! Maybe they should have brought somebody in to play sad music as their woeful story unfolded.
"It's just not possible to get to the end of the month on their salary," whined one teachers' union representative.

The House of Representatives has wasted no time in addressing the pressing issues that we as a nation confront. Over the past week, the House acted to put our nation back on a path to fiscal sustainability, and we have introduced two bills that will rein in the federal government's over-reach to protect individual liberties and get our economy back on track.
We often hear that nothing in this world is certain except death and taxes. However, the current federal tax code is a source of much uncertainty for many taxpayers. With Americans spending more than 6.1 billion hours to prepare and file their tax returns, it is clear that the current tax code is no longer working in a fair manner.
It may be snowing outside, but the General Assembly is heating up. Committees are busy considering bills. The House and the Senate have even begun holding floor votes on legislation and sending them across the Capitol to the other chamber for consideration. And, several organizations have flooded the halls and offices of the General Assembly Building, seeking to sway the votes on legislation they favor or oppose.
By Sen. Steve Newman
District 23
With fewer than 30 days before the 2013 General Assembly session is scheduled to end, things are moving briskly at the Capitol. With the deadline for submitting bills now passed, we know just how much legislation will have to be considered during this year's session.
Taking offense

I take offense at Mr. Howell's slanderous comparison of the NRA with Nazi leaders Goebbels and Hitler! He forgets that this "gun lovers" group marched off to war along with the Bedford Boys to fight a guy named Hitler. They went with skills given them by the NRA.

Convicted murderer Joran van der Sloot will soon be a father and a husband according to his lawyer. Van der Sloot's attorney, Maximo Altez reported that the couple has completed almost all of the legal arrangements needed in order for them to get married.
Van der Sloot's Peruvian fiancée is five months pregnant with a baby boy. According to Altez, van der Sloot met his fiancée Leydi Figueroa Uceda, 22, when she was selling goods at the Lima Piedras Gordas prison where he is incarcerated. The two have not set a date yet to marry.
Joran van der Sloot is the chief suspect in the unsolved 2005 disappearance of Natalee Holloway in Aruba. He is currently serving a 28 year sentence for the murder of Stephany Flores, 21. Van der Sloot bludgeoned Flores to death in a Lima hotel room five years to the day after Holloway disappeared.
After van der Sloot finishes serving his sentence in Peru, he will be extradited to the United States to face trial for charges that he extorted and defrauded Holloway's mother in 2010. He allegedly took $25,000 from Holloway's mother in return to taking her to her daughter's body.

Each fall, the MFAH hosts a celebration of Italian cinema. These retrospectives feature restored 35mm prints from the archive of Rome's legendary Cinecittà, presented in partnership with the Italian Consul General of Houston, the Institute of Italian Culture in Los Angeles, and generous local sponsors and community partners.
For the eighth annual event in 2013, the MFAH joins a national U.S. tour to reconsider the singular vision of Pier Paolo Pasolini (1922–1975). The Houston screenings are presented in partnership with Rice Cinema, where Pasolini's "Trilogy of Life" films run October 4–6. All films are directed by Pasolini and presented in Italian with English subtitles.
"The meaning of Pasolini remains undecipherable, ambiguous, suspended. A lapsed Catholic who never lost his religious worldview and a lifelong Marxist who was expelled from the Communist Party for being gay, Pasolini was an artist and thinker who tried not to resolve his contradictions but rather to embody them fully. With his gift for polemics and taste for scandal, he was routinely hauled up on blasphemy and obscenity charges and attacked by those on the left and the right." —New York Times
Coproduced by the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston; Luce Cinecittà, Rome; and Fondo Pier Paolo Pasolini/Cineteca di Bologna.
Presented in association with the Ministry of Culture of Italy. Special thanks to the Italian Cultural Institute in Los Angeles.
This event is part of the celebrations of the Year of Italian Culture in the United States.

Trusts can control who gets real estate after death
DEAR BENNY: I own two homes. In my will and my trust, I have assigned a beneficiary for each of the properties. However, I would like for the properties to cede to a nonprofit once the designated beneficiary dies, rather than the properties being successively willed to beneficiaries of their choosing.

From Englewood to MVP, Wilson joins Powerade to Honor Derrick Rose and the City of Chicago in The Derrick Rose Renovation Projec
From Englewood to MVP, Wilson joins Powerade to Honor Derrick Rose and the City of Chicago in The Derrick Rose Renovation Project
Derrick Rose, 2011 MVP, has proven himself to be among the most humble NBA players letting his performance on the court be his identity. It's his respectful demeanor and hard working spirit that has led Wilson Sporting Goods Co. to partner with Rose for the last 3 years. Yesterday, Wilson proudly took part in The Derrick Rose Renovation Project. To recognize Rose's journey to the top and to help him pay homage to his Chicago neighborhood of Englewood, Wilson is taking part in restoring the courts at Murray Park Playground. This park is where Rose honed his hoops skills growing up on the South Side. Rose will be unveiling the new courts in front of family, neighborhood friends and local dignitaries at Murray Park Playground on Tuesday, September 27th.
The newly renovated courts include new basketball hoops, poles, resurfacing of the court, new paint and new signage. To honor the young players who will enjoy these courts in the future, Wilson donated an additional $5,000 to go towards new player benches. Between Wilson and Rose, the ties to Chicago run deep. Wilson, headquartered in Chicago, is excited for the opportunity to work with Derrick Rose and give back to their shared hometown.
But the city of Chicago will not be the only recipient of this great effort. Dozens of elementary school students from Rose's alma mater, Randolph Elementary, will receive a surprise appearance from Rose before he officially christens the court with an inaugural dunk. Wilson is thrilled to give back to the children of Chicago by donating Wilson basketballs to the students of Randolph Elementary.
Since Wilson began its relationship with Derrick Rose in his rookie year, thousands of Wilson basketballs have been given to Rose's camps and other charitable initiatives. Wilson is proud of its close partnership with Derrick Rose and couldn't be happier to take part in The Derrick Rose Renovation Project and continue the charitable projects the company performs with Derrick Rose in the future.

Random Number Generation
PHP provides the function
rand( ), which returns values from a generated sequence of pseudo-random numbers. Well-known algorithms generate sequences that appear to have random behavior but aren't truly random. The
srand( ) function seeds the algorithm and needs to be called before the first use of the
rand( ) function in a script. Otherwise, the function returns the same numbers each time a script is called. The prototypes of the functions are:
void srand(integer seed) integer rand( ) integer rand(integer min, integer max)
srand function
The pseudo-random number generator is initialized using the argument passed as seed. For every different seed value used in a call to srand, the pseudo-random number generator can be expected to generate a different succession of results in the subsequent calls to rand.
Two different initializations with the same seed will generate the same succession of results in subsequent calls to rand.
If seed is set to 1, the generator is reinitialized to its initial value and produces the same values as before any call to rand or srand.
In order to generate random-like numbers, srand is usually initialized to some distinctive runtime value, like the value returned by function time. This is distinctive enough for most trivial randomization needs.
srand( ) function is called by passing an integer
seed that is usually generated from the current time.
rand function
When called with no arguments,
rand( ) returns a random number between 0 and the value returned by
getrandmax( ). When
rand( ) is called with two arguments-the min and max values-the returned number is a random number between min and max. Consider this example:
// Generate a seed. $seed = (float) microtime( ) * 100000000; // Seed the pseudo-random number generator srand($seed); // Generate some random numbers print rand(); // between 0 and getmaxrand( ) print rand(1, 6); // between 1 and 6 (inclusive)

REVIEW: Angelfall by Susan Ee
Angelfall (Penryn and the End of Days #1) by Susan Ee
Feral Dream Books (Feb 2012) | Paperback, 254 pages
Paranormal YA
Angelfall is set in the post-apocalyptic United States and this time it isn't a zombie apocalypse or nuclear holocaust….it's angels. Yes, angels destroyed the world, killing and enslaving millions. Society is all but gone and gangs terrorise the streets while angels roam the skies hunting for survivors.
Penryn is in the process of escaping the confines of her home with her psychotic mother and crippled sister when a group of angels start to attack and brutalise another angel. The angel under attack has his beautiful, white wings chopped from his body and despite what the angels have done to mankind Penryn decides to intervene. In the process of trying to save the doomed angel her crippled sister gets kidnapped by one of the horde of angels. Her one hope of saving her sister is in the hands of the beaten and wingless angel, Raffe. Together the pair trek across the country relying on each other to stay alive and find a way to rescue Penyrn's sister and return Raffe to his former glory. Their journey is harrowing and their fight to survive is a hard one. Not only is there very little food, virtually no transport but there are both angels and humans scouring the countryside for survivors. The journey is not just a physical one as both Penryn and Raffe learn not just what they are capable of as a team but what they are willing to do in order to survive.
Normally, I try to avoid angel stories as I am invariably left disappointed. Having angels as the antagonists in Angelfall was a really interesting and unique plot device as any 'angel' stories I have read have always portrayed them as the beautiful heroes of the tale. I wasn't sure whether the angels attacked initially because of some noble cause of whether they attacked with malevolent intent and this made the plot all the more interesting.
Humanity is weakened and seems to be on the edge of destruction, however the attack on Raffe by another angel indicated that there is a division within the holy ranks which is revealed towards the end of the novel. Penryn and Raffe's journey across North Carolina is not just harrowing for the two characters but also for the reader. I was immediately gripped by both the characters and the plot and was on the edge of my seat for most of the story. The final chapters were particularly tense and in some parts it almost veered into horror rather than young adult or urban fantasy.
I thought Angelfall was a fantastic, intense read that turned 'angel fiction' on its head for me. The pace was fast and the plot action packed. Ee broke away from regular stereotypes not just with the angels but also with Penryn and especially her mother. Penryn was well developed as a character and a very mature, kick ass teenager who was both pragmatic and determined. She reminded me a bit of Katniss from Hunger Games and in fact, the novel had a bit of a Hunger Games vibe to it.
Raffe had your typical angelic good looks but he wasn't without his faults and we didn't fully learn how he ended up the pariah of the angel world in the first place. Ee didn't spell out everything for the reader and she was almost unforgiving to her characters with what they had to endure. I read this story non-stop over a weekend and quite a few things didn't get done and a few meals were late as I was transfixed by what would happen next to Penryn and Raffe. I don't think I can rave enough about this book and I am anxiously waiting for second book of the series. I hope I don't have to wait too long.
Angelfall was a big surprise for me and I was drawn immediately into the story. I loved the twist that angels were actually the bringers of the apocalypse and generally the bad guys. They ruined the world, killed millions, oppressed the rest and kidnapped children. Penryn and Raffe were great characters and you never knew what the psychotic mother was going to be up to next. This was a face paced thriller with a truly gruesome, horrific ending and I loved every minute of reading it. I am looking forward to book two!

College Hockey:Schmidt Sends Merrimack Into Tourney Final
PROVIDENCE, R.I. — After he scored both the tying goal and shootout winner against Union in Saturday's Coffee Pot tournament semifinal, Merrimack captain Bryan Schmidt's mouth was saying one thing, but his ear-to-ear grin was saying quite another.
"You're down 4-1 and come back to tie it up 4-4, that's huge," said a relieved Schmidt, who lifted the Warriors into Sunday's championship game against host Providence. "It's a great feeling in general to come back like that. But it doesn't feel like a win."
As far as the formal record is concerned, Schmidt's right. The second annual tournament's matinee opener at the Dunkin' Donuts Center will be officially listed as a 4-4 tie. But for a struggling club like Merrimack, even the sharpshooting defenseman had to admit a victory any kind was of the much-needed variety.
"It's been a lot of pressure, especially since we're close to having probably the worst record to start a season at Merrimack since we've turned Division I at 1-7 (in Hockey East)," Schmidt said. "Sometimes I put a lot of pressure just on myself, but I need the help of my players. They came out and did that today, which I really appreciate them for."
Schmidt, Mike Alexiou and Jordan Black all notched their sixth goals of the season after the Warriors fell behind 4-1 to the Dutchmen, who entered the tourney riding a six-game ECAC winning streak, with 6:23 left in the second period.
Alexiou scored just 31 seconds after Union established its three-goal advantage on a nifty Jonathan Poirier wraparound jam at 13:37 after the Dutchmen survived four straight Merrimack power plays to start the second period.
With the Warriors dominating territorially and holding a 19-3 overall shot edge for the period, Black cut it to 4-3 less than a minute later with a shorthanded goal, set up nicely on a steal at his own blue line by Matt Byrnes.
Schmidt tied it 3:05 into the third on the power play off a feed from fellow defenseman Jeff Caron, who also scored Merrimack's first goal with the man advantage.
"I thought the second period was our best of the whole year, and we carried it into the third," said Merrimack head coach Chris Serino, whose club snapped a four-game slide. "It's a small step, but we'll take the tie."
The key for the burdened Warriors this season has been scoring first. When doing so entering the Coffee Pot, they were a respectable 3-3-0. When they didn't, they were a dreadful 0-5-0.
Making matters worse, when Merrimack trailed after the first period through the first dozen games, it was 0-7-0, based mainly on the fact the Warriors have only led once all season at first intermission.
So when Union scored the night's first two goals, from freshmen Phil McDavitt and Josh Coyle, on its way to building a 3-1 first-period lead, Merrimack's fate seemed sealed. But somehow the Warriors were able to summon the intensity they've failed to generate when needed over the past month, while the Dutchmen got a little bit too complacent.
"In the second period, I thought two things happened," surmised Union head coach Nate Leaman, whose team sits atop the ECAC. "First is I think we probably got a little too arrogant, and they started outworking us. The second thing was the first 10 minutes of the period we were killing penalties, include two two-man advantages, which really tired us out. We weren't really able to get our wind back until the overtime."
Union owned all four of the five-minute overtime's shots, testing Warriors goalie Jim Healey (25 saves) from the slot twice. Schmidt had a chance to win it in OT, too, but his 40-foot wrist shot went over the head of Union netminder Kris Mayotte (33 saves).
In the shootout, Black, Merrimack's fourth shooter, scored the first goal, but Union's Scott Brady immediately answered it. Schmidt avoided a second five-player shootout by ringing in a wrister off the crossbar over Mayotte's catching glove.
"I wasn't looking for a deke or anything because the ice was bad," Schmidt said. "In a shootout like that, you've got to shoot. I got a good shot off, and it went in."
(Coffee) Pot Shots
St. Cloud State won last season's first Coffee Pot Tournament, which was held the weekend after Christmas, beating the host Friars, 6-1, in the championship game. … Merrimack lost last season's meeting with Union, 3-1, giving up a trio of third-period goals, including the game-winner just 51 seconds after Schmidt tied the score. …
Entering the tournament, Providence held an overwhelming 77-20-6 all-time record over this year's participants. Merrimack owned the best mark against the Friars at 19-61-5, while Holy Cross was winless in five meetings. … The Warriors are now 101-54-3 all-time in tournament play with their greatest success (seven titles) coming in their own Thanksgiving tournament beginning in the late 1970s and throughout the '80s.

|Three-dimensional Waves in Excitable Systems
|The Pritchard Lab Seminar
|Oliver Steinbock, Dept of Chemistry & Biochemistry, Florida State University
|Excitable and oscillatory reaction-diffusion system can show rotating wave solutions. In spatially two-dimensional media, these vortices tend to be Archimedean spirals rotating around very small, inactive core regions. In the three-dimensional case, these regions can be described as space curves that either terminate in the system boundary or form a closed loops and knots. These "filaments" move and bend according to their local curvature and gradients in the associated rotation phase. My talk will review some of the most pertinent features of these patterns as well as their relevance to biological and biomedical systems. Moreover, I will discuss results obtained from experiments with the Belousov-Zhabotinsky reaction, show that phase evolution follows Burgers' equation, and describe ongoing research on vortex pinning.

WolframAlpha is confusing me. I'm working on two different integral problems, and with each one, for some reason, Wolfram switches the signs of the answer.
- http://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=integral+dx/(x^.5(x-1))
- http://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=integral+(x-1)/(x^2-4)
For the first one, they get $\log[1 - \sqrt{x}] - \log[(1 + \sqrt{x})]$ (see under alternate forms, thats the one I'm using).
However, I get: $\log[\sqrt{x}-1] - \log[(\sqrt{x}+1)]$ And so it differs by a sign, but its really bothering me, since I'm sure I'm doing it right. And the same applies to the second one:
They get: $3/4 \log(-x-2)+1/4 \log(x-2)$
I get: $3/4 \log(x+2)+1/4 \log(x-2)$
And so it differs by a sign again. (If this is a common mistake, then maybe you can point it out, but if this is just me and you can't see where I could have gone wrong, I can list my steps)

Nov. 1, 2010
by Gregg Bell
UW Director of Writing
SEATTLE - An already tough task just got even more difficult for the Huskies.
Washington will be without Jake Locker on Saturday at top-ranked Oregon. The star quarterback's sore rib became broken in last weekend's loss to Stanford.
Coach Steve Sarkisian says redshirt freshman Keith Price will make his first collegiate start at Autzen Stadium in Eugene against the Ducks Saturday at 12:30 p.m. on ABC television.
"It's frustrating anytime you're not able to be out on the field with your guys, but it's the best thing for me and for my health," Locker said on Monday, one day after the Huskies' medical staff told him he had a fracture and will watch instead of play this week.
"I asked if there was any possible way that I could (play). They said there's just too much risk involved in it now."
Sarkisian hopes Locker, second on UW's career passing list, can heal enough by Nov. 18 so he can start his final career home game, against UCLA.
For local comparison, Seattle Seahawks quarterback Matt Hasselbeck missed two games last year with broken ribs. Doctors told Hasselbeck that fractured ribs can take up to six weeks to fully heal.
At least Locker has just one broken rib. Still, Sarkisian said the team's co-captain, who has made 36 career starts since his debut as a redshirt freshman at the beginning of the 2007 season, was "shaken up" when he was told he can't play at Oregon.
"As you guys know, Jake is a courageous guy, a competitive guy, extremely loyal," Sarkisian said. "The thing that bothers him the most is that he feels like maybe he's letting his teammates down. And his team, they don't feel that way at all about it."
Nick Montana is listed as the No. 2 quarterback this week, but Sarkisian reiterated he'd rather keep the prized freshman out as part of the continuing plan to redshirt Montana's first season at UW.
"We'll have (wide receiver) Cody Bruns and (freshman tailback and recent Wildcat-formation QB) Jesse Callier ready in an emergency quarterback situation," Sarkisian said. "If it is something that's potentially a long-term issue - we're not foreseeing that - Nick will be ready."
The Huskies remain optimistic Locker can start the final three games of the regular season.
"It's fortunate that we're following this week with a bye week to give us a little extra time off," Locker said.
Locker first injured a rib on a hit early in Oct. 16's win over Oregon State, but he remained in that game and started the two since. Sarkisian said an eventual MRI exam revealed a hairline fracture, though in practice last week Locker was moving as well as he had all October. But then it became a break when Locker was hit sometime in the loss to the Cardinal on Saturday at Husky Stadium.
"(He) took a couple pretty good shots. That kind of escalated this thing to a whole another level for us," Sarkisian said. "It's unfortunate. I know Jake wants to be out there in the worst way, but this is the right thing to do."
Sarkisian found one thin silver lining to the injury: He noted Price has run the first-team offense in practice for much of the last three weeks while Locker rested, so the starting role won't be entirely foreign to him.
The 6-foot-1, 192-pound Price finished the final quarter of the Stanford game. His season highlight so far came on Oct. 2 at USC. Price, from Compton, Calif., replaced the momentarily injured Locker and threw a key touchdown pass on his only scrimmage play in the fourth quarter of what became Washington's first road win in three years.
"Making his first career start obviously on the road in an environment like Autzen is a challenging one -- but one I've been in before with Mark Sanchez making his first career road start in Autzen Stadium in a tough ball game," said Sarkisian, Sanchez's offensive coordinator at USC when the Trojans played at Oregon in 2007.
"It's going to be exciting to watch Keith Price play. He's made great strides in development under (offensive coordinator) Doug Nussmeier."

College Hockey:2002-03 Plattsburgh Season Preview
No More Sundberg
There is no beating around the bush. Niklas Sundberg is gone.
One of the top goaltenders ever at Plattsburgh, and in Division III for that matter, has done his four years. Now, Plattsburgh needs to replace the two-time All-American who led it to a national championship in 2001.
For now, that burden rests on the shoulders of sophomore Tony Seariac. So far, he has done the job. If he falters, freshmen Curtis Cribbie and Craig Neilson will be waiting in the wings.
Scoring Machine
When you score over five goals a game in conference play, there should be no worries. However, that's not quite the case. Knowing that Plattsburgh has the firepower to knock you senseless, the opposition will adjust their game.
Coach Bob Emery said, "Up front, we won't have problems scoring goals, but a lot of teams will be playing a defensive style against us."
The players who will need to break through that noose will be All-Americans Jason Kilcan and Brendon Hodge as well as Adam Richards, Jeff Hopkins, and Rob Retter. Guy Come will have to make his contribution in the second semester, as he will sit out the first. All of them were in the double-digit range for goals last year.
With that kind of firepower returning, don't expect a freshman to break through with big numbers.
If the goalies do have problems, they will have solid defenders in front of them, led by All-American Peter Ollari. Doug Carr and Chad Kemp will add to the veteran factor, while Emery plans on playing three freshmen at the blue line — Brett Gilmour, Bryan North, and Billy Fetherston.
Toughen Them Up
Emery makes no bones about it. He firmly believes in playing as tough as a schedule as possible.
He said, "The tough schedule prepares you for the playoffs. You're only as good as the players you play against."
And tough it is. Outside of the conference, which will be no cakewalk ("The SUNYAC is getting stronger and stronger every year," Emery said), Plattsburgh once again participates in the Great Northern Shootout, facing league rival Potsdam on the first day and then either Norwich and Middlebury the next.
And, in case Plattsburgh misses either of those teams, games are scheduled against each of the Vermont powerhouses later in the season. The Cardinals also face off against archrivals Elmira, and RIT is back on the schedule.
Maybe that schedule borders on masochism, but Plattsburgh will be hardened for the key games down the stretch.
Make It Lucky 7
"Numbers-wise, we didn't lose a lot," Emery said. "I want to make sure we replace Nik first before I make any predictions."
Here's a prediction, then — Plattsburgh may stumble at times as it figures out the goalie situation, but like the past two years, will peak when it counts and win a seventh consecutive SUNYAC title, then proceed to make some noise in the NCAAs.

Good news? Bad news? Just outright bizarre news? I'm not sure exactly where to file this under, but Kelsey Grammer and… Martin Lawrence will reportedly star in a yet to be titled FX sitcom.
Frasier and Big Momma on the small screen together is surely a quirky idea, but you can definitely count on today's cable stations to make something like that work. And besides, FX already has a reputation for green-lighting shows with extremely high shock value. Think American Horror Story. Or It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia. Or Louie.
Hopefully, this new sitcom will follow in the footsteps of those last two comedy series, with bitter humor and/or lots of improv, instead of going down the Anger Management route, with laugh tracks and… Charlie Sheen.
The storyline doesn't sound all too fresh or original, following "two vastly different Chicago lawyers who meet in court on the worst day of both their lives" and "develop a partnership and friendship", but let's stay positive, shall we? At least for Grammer, whose excellent Boss has been unexplicably yanked off air by Starz.
Robert Boyett, one of Full House's executive producers, and Robert Horn (Designing Women, High Society) are on board as both EPs and writers, with a premiere date still unknown. What we do know is the first season is set to run for 10 episodes, with 90 more subsequently approved if the initial ratings target is met. Yeah, so much for this not being an Anger Management 2, right?

I have a Lenovo Ideapad S205, which has difficulties with GRUB2. Therefore I did a manual installation of GRUB 0.97. Will a upgrade from 11.10 to 12.04 destroy my old GRUB or will it respect the custom installation?
That depends on whether or not you removed the grub-pc package before, or just installed grub-legacy to the disk from another system ( like a rescue disk ). If not, then it will be upgraded, and overwrite grub legacy.

This book presents a photographer's portfolio of natural history portraits. The images are an intimate examination of species across the entire animal kingdom. The title - 'face to face' says it all, but the book also includes a narrative that explores the genre of wildlife photography as well as offering up a small section on the wider realm that these species inhabit. That is to say, a small section is devoted to the art and technique of landscape photography.

Swift color combinations isn't a sight unseen in the foray of fresh styles taking center stage this Spring--color blocking after all has been a popular trend for the past three seasons.
What's more of a hot off the press trend is the appropriation of color for the Spring. More and more we're seeing Fall colors integrate itself into the spring palette, first with the latest phenomenon--hunter green, and now with the color combo of red and black.
Not just the official team colors for the Chicago Bulls, red and black is also the 'it' color match up of the moment (with a little python print thrown in depending on who you ask).
Dolce & Gabbana, Marc Jacobs and Gucci all took on the look for their collective Spring shows. You too can take on the look this Spring with these red and black numbers that are all about style harmony...
