Queen Latifah is celebrating the Oscars all this season with some of the best names in the industry. The Academy Award nominee welcomed actor Matthew McConaughey to her daytime talker last week. McConaughey, nominated for an Oscar for his powerful performance in "Dallas Buyers Club," talked about is his role which tells the true story of a man who developed AIDS during the early discovery of the disease.
"A lot of this for me personally as trying to understand dealing with one's own mortality," the actor said during his appearance on the show. "I remember one scene where I go to the doctor and I tell him 'look, I need some AZT. I'm dying.' That word is the hardest word that ever had to come out of my personal mouth and it just hit me. It's a word we don't use in the first person, at least I haven't. Most people haven't...[they try to keep going]... and this guy did it for seven more years. That's the emotional challenge of trying to understand."
McConaughey also stars in the HBO drama "True Detective" and will once again lend his dancing skills to "Magic Mike 2."
The 86th Academy Awards will be announced live on Sunday, March 2nd on ABC.

BARRE — Vermont State Police say a 15-year-old girl was sexually assaulted by two men.
A Granite City man is now accused of having sex with the same girl with whom Wendel Excavation owner Bert Wendel is accused of having a sexual relationship.
Jonathan Amell, 20, pleaded not guilty to felonious sexual assault of a victim under 16 years old on Tuesday in Washington County criminal court. If convicted, he faces a maximum of 20 years in prison and a $10,000 fine.
State police say the girl would sneak out at night and go to Wendel's house in Middlesex. Wendel pleaded not guilty to felonious sexual assault Monday.
According to the state police affidavit for Amell's case, the girl, Amell and Wendel were all at Wendel's house one night in December. State police said the girl told them she and Amell were drinking while Wendel was upstairs. The girl told state police she got "extremely intoxicated" that night, according to the affidavit.
At one point, she and Amell went outside for a cigarette, according to the girl. She said Amell asked her if she wanted to have sex and she said no. The girl said the next thing she remembered was walking out into the woods with Amell and that the two had sex, according to police.
State police said that during questioning, Amell denied being at Wendel's house and that there had been a sexual encounter. Wendel had initially denied having Amell at his home as well but eventually admitted Amell had been there on the night in question, according to police.
Amell's mother, Toni Lawrence, 51, of Barre, also admitted that Amell had been at Wendel's home after initially denying it, according to police.
State police said Lawrence was cited for giving false information to law enforcement for attempting to "keep the suspect and witness out of trouble." She is scheduled to appear in Washington County criminal court Feb. 21 to answer the charge.MORE IN This Just In

Lichtenberg, Frank R; Schoder, Johannes (2010). Impact of Specialization on Health Outcomes - Evidence from U.S. Cancer Data. Working paper series / Socioeconomic Institute No. 1011, University of Zurich.
There have been many studies of the volume-outcome relationship. In all of these, the unit of analysis is the hospital or physician. However, this level of analysis is mostly limited to the use of in-hospital mortality rates and is particularly sensitive to selective referral. Moreover, the literature on agglomeration economies highlights the importance of information spillovers within regions (Glaeser, 2010). To overcome these problems, our study is the ?rst that examines the volume-outcome relationship on a regional (county or cancer registry) level. Using data from the National Cancer Institute's Surveillance, Epidemiology and End Results program we ?nd that regions with relatively more of the same cancer type exhibit relatively better health outcomes.

Let $(X,\leq)$ be an ordered space and define on $X$ the order topology form the subbasis $\{(x,y), (x,\to), (\leftarrow,x) : x,y \in X \}$.
Can you read the fact that $\leq$ is a total order on the topology of $X$?
I hoped it was equivalent to a separation property of $X$ (for example, if $\leq$ is total then $X$ is Hausdorff, but there exist Hausdorff partial ordered spaces; a more difficult result is that a linearly ordered space is completely normal, and here I didn't find a counter-example).
Do you know something about that?

Randall began his study of songwriting and publishing while still in high school signing his first compositions to Attieram Publishing. Learning some lessons from Atlanta music mentors Cotton Carrier and Bill Lowery of Lowery Music Group, who also signed some of his material, he soon created his own Peach Picked Publishing initially for his own songs.
Eventually, he began representing some of the biggest stars of bluegrass with his behind the scenes talents yielding awards for unpaid musical uses in films and on television for acts such as Flatt and Scruggs. He served as a consultant to publishing concerns owned by Jim and Jesse McReynolds and Bill Monroe.
Among his stable of catalog writers are IBMA Hall of Fame members Curly Seckler and Chubby Wise, Georgia Music Hall of Fame member Cotton Carrier, Dove nominee Mark Wheeler, and Atlanta Country Music Hall of Fame members John Farley, James Watson and Eugene Akers.
Through his Randall Franks Music, he represents the extensive catalog of Katona Publishing Co. of Ramblin' "Doc" Tommy Scott and around 20 writers his company represented. This catalog spans 70 years of standards, hits and unusual songs and tunes.
Randall does not actively seek new songs or writers, he manages his existing catalog providing songs for recordings, films and television.

Women's Hoops Falls Short In A-10 Opener Vs. St. Joe's, 86-58
Jan. 7, 2012
AMHERST, Mass. - Despite a career-high 14 points in 16 minutes from freshman Kim Pierre-Louis, the UMass women's basketball team came up short of Saint Joseph's in the teams' Atlantic 10 opener, falling 86-58 on Saturday afternoon at the Mullins Center. With the loss, the Minutewomen are now 5-11 on the year, 0-1 in conference play, while the Hawks move to 10-4 overall and open up the A-10 slate at 1-0.
Joining Pierre-Louis as the high scorer for UMass, junior Shakia Robinson totaled 14 points, while redshirt-sophomore Carolann Cloutier contributed 10 points and handed out a game-high eight assists. Senior Emilie Teuscher recorded eight points and four helpers and junior Jasmine Watson corralled a squad-leading eight rebounds.
The teams traded baskets in early minutes before Saint Joseph's strung together an 8-0 run to lead 13-5 at the 15:17 mark. UMass had two straight layups from Watson and Robinson to pull within 13-9, before the Hawks followed up with a 9-2 stretch to lead by double figures for the first time, 22-11 with 11:42 on the clock. The Minutewomen responded, though, by out-scoring Saint Joe's 16-9 over a stretch of six minutes, seven seconds, to pull within two at 31-29 with 5:07 remaining in the period. A three from Teuscher, UMass' fifth on eight attempts in the half, at the 4:10 mark made it a one-point game, 33-22, but the Hawks closed out the frame with a 10-4 spurt to lead 40-36 at the intermission.
UMass could draw no closer in the second half as Ashley Prim and Samira Van Grinsven began the period with back-to-back buckets. A Robinson layup briefly brought the Minutewomen back to within six, but the Hawks stretched their lead to double digits for good as a Katie Kuester three at 9:33 began a 22-1 run for Saint Joseph's.
The Hawks shot 33-for-66 (50%) from the floor, including an 8-for-16 (50%) clip from three, while UMass finished 22-for-51 (43.1%) overall and sunk 6-of-11 (54.5%) from beyond the arc. The Minutewomen made 8-of-15 (53.3%) at the free throw line compared to Saint Joseph's 12-for-15 (80.0%) and were narrowly out-rebounded, 35-32.
Kelly Cavallo paced the Hawks with a double-double on 15 points and 10 rebounds. Joining Cavallo in double figures for Saint Joseph's were Kuester (13 points), Michelle Baker (12 points), Prim (12 points) and Van Grinsven (10 points). Prim logged a team-leading five assists.
UMass will return to action on Wednesday, Jan. 11 at Rhode Island. Tip-off against the Rams is slated for 7 p.m.

MEET THE BOYS OF THE BLACK DAGGER BROTHERHOOD – REVIEW: Lover Avenged by J.R. Ward
On paper, there is so much about Rhev that should make him a terrible hero for a book. His bio reads more like one of a super-villain, than a man you would ever want to fall in love with. Let me see… he's a half-sympath, drug lord and pimp, and a manipulative liar who murdered his own father. But in Ward's world nothing is ever that clear-cut or simple. Despite all of his flaws, Rhev is a man you can very easily fall for, you feel his terrible anguish at where his life has led him and will him to escape the black corner he has found himself shut into.
When I first began to read his book, I wondered what kind of woman would Ward have created for him. I thought a tough, life-hardened person, perhaps slightly like Rhev, maybe even an ex-prostitute. Of course, I should have learnt by now to never try and predict where Ward's storytelling will take me! I wasn't wrong on the tough, even slightly life-hardened part. But where Rhev is as dark as the cane he walks with, Ehlena is innocent as her crisp, white, nurse's uniform.
The story is bitter, romantic, violent and very sad at times, much as I'd come to expect from this fantastic series. I often wondered how Rhev was ever going to get his happy ending. The contrast between Rhev and Elena's lives stark. From the honest, to the illegal, from extreme wealth, to poverty. But these stark difference only served to make the story more engaging and poignant.
Rhev was more than an excellent hero, he was a brilliant one. I don't think he had one selfish action, his self-sacrifice for love both for his friends and Ehlena was unexpected and sad. I never quite understood why he didn't kill his half-sister, but perhaps it was more down to the complexity of his life and relationships.
King Wrath has a strong thread in this story. As the war with the Lessers grows in intensity and the size of the task seems insurmountable and you feel Wrath's fierce frustration with the war that he is in charge of. His actions lead to alienation from his shellan and the brothers, but I desperately felt for him and as always Lady Karma is a b*tch. I never saw the twist coming, but it adds an interesting new dimension to his character. And what can I say, I've got a bit of a soft spot for George ;-). Payne is a new arrival on the character front, I'm not quite sure what to make of her yet, time will tell I guess. But I like that she gave Wrath some sense of help and dignity.
By now you know he's my favourite character and developments around John-Matthew in Lover Avenged are really heart-breaking. I was so sad to see his slight hint of vulnerability and innocence shattered. Gone is the boy, and an embittered man emerges. And the surprise ending with Xhex? What a cliffhanger!
Xhex is an interesting character, when she was first introduced I wasn't sure I liked her. Too aloof, too cold, too masculine, just too. But as we begin to see more back story for her, I began to understand the love she has for Rhev and The Shadows, she's suddenly become much more three dimensional and really complicated and character. The love story between her and John-Matthew at the moment is brutal to watch, I almost can't bear it! I might have to read Lover Mine between my fingers!
I think I need to take a moment to talk about Lash, as I haven't yet mentioned him in any of my reviews to date. The twist about who or perhaps the better word would be what he is completely took me by surprise in Lover Enshrined. His bullying of John-Matthew before that always left me incensed but when I hoped he would get what was coming to him, I didn't quite envisage him becoming the leader of the Lessers. It has made the threat from the Lessers suddenly become much more gritty and real. I can only see things getting more bloody and violent.
There is very little I can fault about this series. Rhev is most definitely a better hero than Phury was, I loved the darkness in him and the slow blossoming story with Ehlena. The back story was, as always, as good as the main romance, and the war between vampire and Lessers has seriously began to escalate in intensity. I also enjoyed delving deeper into the slippery world of sympaths and wonder if they may add their own contribution to the world very soon.

Leaks throw dirt on Hariri's coffin
By Sami Moubayed
DAMASCUS - The year kicked off on a very rough note for Lebanese prime minister Saad al-Hariri. First, 11 ministers walked out on his government, embarrassingly ejecting him from office while Hariri was at the White House meeting with President Barack Obama.
Hariri walked into the Oval Office confidently as the elected prime minister - and left as the disgraced ex-premier. That coincided with the collapse of the Syrian-Saudi initiative for Lebanon, which for months had been trying to bridge the gap between him and the Hezbollah-led opposition.
Then came the thundering "Hakika-Leaks" or "Truth-Leaks" on
Lebanon's New TV, airing private and supposedly confidential sessions held between Hariri and United Nations prosecutors over the 2005 murder of his father, Rafik al-Hariri. The scandal's name is derived from the website WikiLeaks, and has vibrated strongly in Lebanon, making Hariri look silly both before his own constituency and the Lebanese and Arab public at large.
The recordings date to the summer of 2007, over two years before Hariri became prime minister. He came across as timid, uncomfortable, lame, and very rude. In one recording, Hariri was speaking to Syrian citizen Mohammad Zuhair al-Siddiq, a criminal wanted in Syrian and Lebanese courts, who had lied under oath to the UN probe.
Siddiq, one of many false witnesses in the Hariri affair, had falsified information and tried to implicate members of Hezbollah and top Syrian officials in the 2005 murder. Although in the past, Hariri had denied any personal knowledge of the man, the recordings proved otherwise, showing that the relationship between them not only existed, but was far from ceremonial.
Siddiq literarily shouted at Hariri at different intervals in the recorded tape, and complained that he had called him and sent him an SMS, proof that Siddiq was so close that he had Hariri's private cell-phone number. Present in the meeting was Hariri's top security aide Colonel Wissam al-Hasan, whom Siddiq addressed as "Wissam".
Hasan was originally considered a prime suspect in the Hariri murder because he failed to show up for work where he was supposed to protect the victim on that fateful day in February 2005. He claimed to have obtained permission to sit for an exam at university, which explains why his phone was switched off when Hariri was killed by a massive car bomb near the Beirut shoreline. UN judges found his alibi weak, and recommended that he be treated as a "prime suspect", but that was overruled by the international investigation, due to Hasan's senior position as a top security aid to Saad al-Hariri.
In the second recording aired on "Hakika-Leaks", Hariri is heard speaking to the investigator about the circumstances that led to his father's murder. Clearly suffering from rich-boy complex, Hariri accused various Lebanese figures of cuddling up to his father to milk him for money, like the respected Lebanese journalist Talal Salman, publisher of the mass circulation daily as-Safir.
He also said that in 1999 his father had paid the hospital bills of then-Syrian foreign minister Farouk al-Shara at the American University Hospital in Beirut. Syria immediately denied this, proving that those bills had been settled by the Syrian government and not Rafik al-Hariri.
The young prime minister also raised doubts about the loyalty of one of his father's top advisors, Nihad Mashnouq, and fired insults at Lebanese journalist Charles Ayyoub. Then president Emile Lahhoud and security chief Jamil al-Sayyed, he added, were responsible for the deteriorating relationship between Hariri and Syrian President Bashar al-Assad.
"They hated my father," he explained, "while Hezbollah and Nabih Berri [speaker of parliament] did not want this relationship [between Hariri senior and Syria] to last." He also insulted ex-prime minister Najib Mikati, who is now one of the potential candidates to replace him in the premiership, saying: "I made him prime minister [in 2005] but he backstabbed me."
Also, Hariri doesn't spare Saudi billionaire Prince Alwaleed Bin Talal, whom Hariri claims wanted to become prime minister of Lebanon, banking on the fact that his Lebanese grandfather was Riad al-Sulh, one of the co-founders of Lebanese independence.
Unable to deny any of his remarks, Hariri had no choice but to say that he was victim of an "intelligence conspiracy" hatched by New TV, which is close to the Hezbollah-led opposition. Embarrassed, he "apologized" through a press release from his media office to all of those he had insulted in the 2007 recording, saying that it was made in very tense and difficult times, completely different from what transpired after he became prime minister in 2009.
The leaks confirm several facts beyond a shadow of a doubt that will likely damage the prime minister's future. One is that at times he is not to be trusted - he says one thing in private and another thing in public. Second, he knew and was part of the "false witness" saga that the opposition has been trumpeting for two years.
The recordings of Hariri speaking to Siddiq - who has been confirmed a false witness by everybody who met him, including the UN judges - confirms all the speculation about Hariri having orchestrated the false witnesses and then protecting them for more than five years.
That might explain why Hezbollah was so serious about bringing them to justice before any deal could be hammered out between the opposition and Hariri. The leaks also confirm that despite his refusal to step down, Hariri's chances of becoming prime minister once again are low.
There are voices in Lebanon, however, saying that if Hariri were ejected from power in such a manner by Hezbollah, he would become a national hero for Lebanese Sunnis. They say that unseating Hariri at this stage is very unwise. Forcing him out of the cabinet in such a manner by Hezbollah would do him the best favor for his career since his father's assassination in 2005.
A better way to discredit Hariri would be to keep him in power and let him commit blunder after blunder, which would slowly break his popularity base in Beirut.
In the opposition, Hariri cannot go wrong and people would rally around him because they sympathize with leaders who are out of office, who are making rosy promises, and who don't shoulder blame for government failure. That was also true when it came to Hariri senior, whose popularity was one thing when he was in power in 1992-1998, and reached completely new heights when he was in the opposition in 1998-2000.
Additionally, many in the opposition are worried that in as much as it wants a pro-Western prime minister in Lebanon, the US would prefer a pro-Western one like Omar Karameh, who obstructs the Special Tribunal for Lebanon (STL) investigating Hariri's killing because that makes it easier to pressure, isolate and corner the Lebanese.
Given all of the above, and the sharp contrast between all three scenarios, Hariri's political future at this stage is on hold, awaiting the results of a recent Syrian-Turkish-Qatari summit over Lebanon. Reportedly, the Turks believe Hariri should be maintained as prime minister.
Among the ideas floating in Beirut is for Hariri to come back only after he distances himself from the STL, confesses in public that it is a politicized court, rather than a neutral one, and agrees to a joint Qatari-Turkish committee to evaluate the bill of indictment and verdicts of the STL when they are released.
All of that, still, remains nothing but wishful thinking for Lebanon.

Meat Recall Expanded
We told you last week that the Topps Meat Company had announced a recall of over 331,000 pounds of ground beef and patties that may contain E. coli. Did that seem like a lot to you? Topps has now expanded that recall to 21.7 million pounds. There's a possibility that total could increase later today.
I didn't think that there were that many pounds of meat in the U.S.

The annual Easter egg hunt at Red Caboose Park drew hundreds of children to Bellevue's community park. The dogwood trees at the park were in bloom, providing a welcoming sight to little boys and girls carrying Easter baskets and hoping to load up on eggs.
Thousands of bright, colorful eggs were in view in four cordoned off areas of the park where children waited according to their age groups for the various hunts to begin.
The toddlers were off and running first...or toddling as the case might be, but the little ones had a hard time picking up eggs as the overly-aggressive parents were there first, practically snatching eggs out of tiny hands. The rest of the fields were relatively grownup free allowing the kids to be kids and find a few eggs.
The eggs contained slips of paper with either Bible verses or prize numbers, and the young tykes seemed happy with the hunt and their prizes. A beautiful spring day made the Easter event that much nicer.
The Spring Art Hop is also going on at Cheekwood today.

For this match we have Motoko Kusanagi from Ghost in the Shell going up against Adam Jensen from the Deus Ex: Human Revolution franchise.
They are both heavily augmented post humans with a broad skill set and are both strong protagonists in their universes. Motoko is ex military with a full body prosthesis, and is an extremely capable combatant and hacker. Jensen has a lot of experimental tech wired up to him, and is certainly no slouch in the combat and hacking area's.
The idea would be that they both have their basic loadouts – for this match that would be their stealth equipment, hacking capabilities, armor and their standard sidearm (i.e. Jensen has his 10mm unupgraded, iirc Kusanagi uses a 9mm). Jensen does not have the typhoon, and Kusanagi does not have any specialized hacking equipment (the dummy barriers etc – just her own in built and natural abilities)
the versus takes place in the standard cyberpunk setting – industrial slum, with moderate rainfall.
this match takes place in a dock yard with warehouses, narrow alley ways, high points with moderate rainfall.
Both Adam and Motoko have all their abilities – Who would emerge the victor?

The fact that Chicagoans love sports is obvious; with both professional and semi-pro teams calling Chicago home, and the recent bid for the 2016 Olympics, Chicago is full of avid fans.
It shouldn't be too surprising, then, that Northwestern University has decided to finally try to capitalize on the sports-loving city.
The Northwestern Wildcats are launching a new branding and advertising campaign on radio, in print, and on the city's many billboards proclaiming that Northwestern is "Chicago's Big Ten Team." The ads are being funded by ticket sales.
The slogan, "Chicago's Big Ten Team" is a direct shot at the University of Illinois Fighting Illini and it's hoped that the new marketing push will help Northwestern's sluggish ticket sales.
While Chicago is a fantastic sports market, it's also saturated with fans whose loyalties run deep, so questions remain as to whether the campaign will work.
This is university's first sports marketing campaign ever, and according to ESPN, "long overdue." The college faces an uphill battle, especially when considering that no ticket marketing department existed at the university until this year.
Northwestern, however, remains optimistic; announcing the campaign, Athletic Director Jim Phillips stated: "To be certain, the university is making a long-term commitment to marketing our great sports properties the right way. We are not looking for a quick fix; rather, we will determine our level of success over an extended period of time."

College Hockey:Preview: Dodge Holiday Classic
Dodge Holiday Classic
Minneapolis, Thursday-Friday, Dec. 29-30, 2005
Game 1: Canisius vs. Massachusetts-Lowell, 4:05 p.m. CT
Canisius Golden Griffins (5-10-1, 3-8-1 Atlantic Hockey)
Head coach: Dave Smith
Leading scorers: Jr. F Michael Cohen (5-10–15), So. F Joel Kitchen (5-10–15), Sr. D Brandon Irish-Baker (4-8–12)
Leading netminders: Fr. Ryan Hatch (3-1-0, 2.73, .904), Jr. Max Buetow (1-5-1, 4.02, .857)

Game 2: Union at No. 3 Minnesota, 7:05 p.m. CT
Union Dutchmen (9-7-2, 3-3-0 ECACHL)
Head coach: Nate Leaman
Leading scorers: So. F Josh Coyle (9-9–18), Jr. F Olivier Bouchard (8-7–15), Sr. F Scott Seney (3-11–14)
Leading netminder: Sr. Kris Mayotte (9-6-1, 2.70, .909)
Minnesota Golden Gophers (9-5-4, 8-4-2 WCHA)
Head coach: Don Lucia
Leading scorers: Jr. F Ryan Potulny (15-9–24), Fr. F Phil Kessel (9-13–22), So. D Alex Goligoski (2-12–14)
Leading netminder: Jr. Kellen Briggs (6-4-2, 2.58, .906)
Tournament outlook: Minnesota enters its own holiday tournament as the prohibitive favorite behind the nation's No. 8 scoring offense. The Gophers endured a couple of surprising losses early in the season, but appear to have righted the ship despite the fact neither Kellen Briggs nor freshman Jeff Frazee has been in top form so far in 2005-06. Minnesota's scoring rests foremost on the shoulders of Ryan Potulny and rookie phenom Phil Kessel, the Gophers' leading goalscorer and assist-maker, respectively — though Kessel, along with Frazee and Blake Wheeler, will miss the tournament while at the World Juniors. Also contributing is the country's sixth-ranked power play. Union, the hosts' first-round opponent, has fared well so far with a .556 winning percentage, though five of the Dutchmen's nine wins have come against opponents outside of the "Big Four" conferences. Nate Leaman's squad has gotten steady goaltending from Kris Mayotte, as well as balanced scoring (six players in double digits in points).
The tournament's other semifinal features two teams looking for better results than they got in the season's first half. Massachusetts-Lowell has just three Hockey East wins to this point, and the offense has not fully recovered from the early departure of Ben Walter to the pro ranks last offseason. The River Hawks, picked in a tie for third in the coaches' preseason Hockey East poll, have scored two goals or fewer in nine of their 15 games coming into the holidays. Canisius, meanwhile, is a disappointing 3-8-1 in Atlantic Hockey play with a three-goaltender rotation, though Brandon Irish-Baker has dramatically stepped up his production from the blueline with 12 points thus far.

I'm not sure if we need a parapsychologist or an electrician at my house. Certain electrical and electronic components are, apparently, possessed by a paranormal entity hell-bent on depriving me of a good night's sleep.
It all started one night about six months ago. My wife had retired to the boudoir to read and I was watching a Monday night football game. Suddenly, she appeared in the hallway with a curious expression.
"Something's wrong with my lamp; it keeps going off and on," she said.
It was halftime and I retrieved a new candle-shaped bulb from the pantry and installed it in the lamp. End of problem…so I thought.
It was late in the third quarter of the game when she appeared in the hallway a second time.
"What?" I gestured with both hands.
"It started blinking again," she said,
"So, unplug it - we've got plenty of lamps. I'll switch out the strobe with a lamp from the living room," I suggested.
In no time I was back in the recliner eating popcorn from a paper bag and watching the game.
It was about 11 p.m. when my wife appeared in the hallway again - this time in her nightgown, her hair disheveled from sleeping on it.
"Now the nightlight in the bathroom and the lamp from the other room are blinking," she said, looking at once sleepy and confused.
I strode into the bedroom feigning sympathy planning to unplug the lamps and finish watching the football game.
"Look," she said, pointing at the two mini-stroboscopic light shows. "I think somebody's trying to communicate with us."
"Somebody?" Thumbs hooked in my pockets, I was ready to roll my eyes and dismiss her notion as an overreaction to a loose wire. That's when I noticed it. A lifetime ago in the army I learned just enough Morris Code to identify a distress call, and there it was; the lamps were flashing Morris Code.
My wife is an ardent fan of the Long Island Medium television show so I decided to keep the lamp's distress message to myself for the time being.
Since that night there have been many curious episodes of electronic disturbances in our five-year-old home. For example, after 12 attempts by our cable company to repair spotty television reception we called off the techies.
The living-room television still displays signal interruptions when tuned to channel 13 that are eerily similar to the flashing lamps. However, having cable technicians crawling through our attic once or twice a week proved more irritating than dealing with our not-so-smart flat screen TV and we decided to leave well enough alone.
Late Monday evening I was between a dream and the abyss of deep sleep when a giant prehistoric pterodactyl started chirping loud enough to shatter wine goblets. Immediately following the deafening chirps, a woman's voice shrieked "fire, fire, fire."
The double-threat so startled me that I leapt from bed, cleared the oak footboard and assumed a martial-arts fighting stance in a single bound. Who knew I could move that fast at my age.
As my brain caught up with my feet, I noticed my wife sitting up in bed, eyes wide open and her head spinning like Linda Blair in The Exorcist as she searched the room for the noisy apparition.
Happily, there was no winged Jurassic dinosaur loose in the bedroom nor was our humble abode ablaze. The blaring chirps and shrieked warnings were coming from our fire alarm system.
Long story short, I disassembled and cleaned the fire alarms and changed all of its backup batteries - twice, to no avail.
Each night last week starting about the time I entered REM sleep the pterodactyl and screaming woman returned and the accumulative sleep deprivation incited by the inexplicable manifestations took their toll.
Honestly, I've never put much stock in psychic phenomena, preferring to explain the inexplicable as manifestations from an Earthly dimension of unknown origin. By now, I've come to suspect bio–psychokinesis or some other psychic emanation may be at play.
Nevertheless, we decided to replace our fire alarm system, buy some lamps and give technicians another crack at repairing our cable television equipment.
In the meantime, perhaps a clairvoyant will stumble across my column and channel enough energy to stop these untimely manifestations - or at least remind the source that we still require sleep in the physical world.
If the house isn't "cleared" soon, I'm afraid my wife will call Theresa Caputo and I'll awake with her camera crew planting mikes in our bedroom.
Even scarier, they might discover the etheric communicator is my late, great uncle Cletus who used to tease me when I was five by removing his false teeth, making scary faces and rapping on the metal plate in his head.

Hundreds rally downtown against violence in Gaza
SAN DIEGO - Hundreds of San Diegans rallied downtown Friday evening to stop the deadly fighting between Israelis and Palestinians.
They chanted, "Free, free Palestine! Free, free Palestine!"
Rami Ilaian organized the event. He told 10News, "We're here to protest against the illegal killing of this young boy and the constant attack on Gaza."
He is referring to the 16-year-old Palestinian boy killed last week, reportedly at the hands of Israelis after they doused him with gasoline and burned him alive.
That was a revenge murder after three Israeli teenage boys, including an American citizen, were kidnapped in the West Bank and then killed.
Now, tension between the Israelis and Palestinians is at a breaking point.
About 30,000 Israeli troops have been called up and are assembling at the border with heavy artillery and are poised to launch a ground operation in Gaza.
Hamas is now taking aim at Tel Aviv's international airport with a burst of rocket fire. The death toll in Gaza continues to rise. Neither side seems willing to stop. Back in San Diego, there is concern from those with relatives in the crossfire.
Samer Naji attended the rally.
"I think the situation on the ground in the West Bank and in Gaza is approaching, if not already apartheid and it's everyone's responsibility to step up and demands that this ends and demand that American tax dollars stop funding apart," he said.

|widely used with grilled meats, chimichurri sauce originated from Argentina
Some of you may be wondering, what is Chimichurri? Chimichurri is a sauce that originated in Argentina but is widely used in other South American countries. It is usually served as a condiment for grilled meats. Parsley is predominantly used but there are variations by using cilantro, and I love cilantro.

DIY Arrow Napkin Rings
DIY Projects
We have been waiting on the edge of our seats to share this project! When we landed our eyes on Firefly Events's showstopper of a table this past August, we were immediately in love with their napkin rings. We later learned that they used arrow bracelets from Anthro! Genius. Since it was a dream-scenario with space for just one table, they were able to splurge at $48 each. With a real wedding with 15 or more tables, not so much. So continuing with our installment on how to bring inspiration to real life, we found a cost-friendly solution in the best of High Low examples. Our DIY version costs about $46.50 less!
From Teissia of Firefly Events: We had never done napkin rings before – mostly because we had never found ones that we liked! But when we saw these cute bracelets at Anthropologie, we thought that they would make a great updated version. Plus, we had decided to use gold as our main accent color, so they were a perfect fit. We love how the simple black napkins made these delicate bracelets pop.
Because these bracelets come at a $48 price tag, using them for a real wedding with 100+ place settings is not realistic ($4800!) . So we created a budget-friendly version of Firefly Events' fabulous idea, but using arrow findings (those jewelry bits that look like pendants but don't have holes). We shared a project using jewelry findings before here.
photo above by Les Loups
All you need to make these fab Anthro-inspired arrow napkin rings are a rubber mallet (a lightweight one, used for crafts and jewelry), a piece of felt and a metal pipe (3 inch diameter is ideal for napkin rings). Simply wrap the felt around the pipe to protect the arrow pieces from getting scratched and gently hammer the arrow pieces around the pipe, forming open rings. This Etsy seller carries the largest arrow findings we came across, and they also offer bulk discounts. These cute little charms also make amazing bouts and tie clips for the gents, with smaller arrows like these ones!
I should have done this for my Hunger Games dinner party! So cute! http://beinggeekchic.com/post/19820621283/host- a-hunger-games-dinner-party-video
This is such a cute idea! I wish the arrow findings were longer though, so the napkin rings could be bigger. Perfect for smaller napkins!
This is a very cute idea, but doing the math, I can't figure out how you would use those arrows from the Etsy store to make napkin rings any bigger than 1″ diameter.
Someone check my math, but I think…
Pi times diameter = circumference. You say that the diameter should be about three inches. In order to have a 3 in. diameter, your ring would have a circumference of more than nine inches. 9 inches= 228.6 mm. The arrows sold by the Etsy shop are 62mm long.
You would have to link together 4 of them to get around the napkin ring. But if you were able to do that and link them with jump rings, I think that the napkin rings would still be cute. They will just cost about $17 each instead of 4.
If you were to use larger findings, you could make super cute bracelets! This is a cute idea and you could use different types of findings instead of arrows!

Matteo Guidicelli's statement regarding the revelations made by his girlfriend Sarah Geronimo during the thanksgiving party of Star Cinema and Viva Films for the success of the movie "Maybe This Time" remains hot topic on social media. Incidentally, he is in the U.S. this evening, June 21, 2014 to join his fellow Filipinos in New York and New Jersey in the much-awaited PAFCOM Golf Tournament 2014.
Going back to Sarah's recent announcement, some observers say Matteo should also say something about the issue, according to the netizens who are following his career; this is the right time for him to admit the relationship. In his past interviews, Matteo said in due time, he will reveal anything about the status of his relationship with Sarah, but like what the reports said, it was the pop princess who broke the ice and admitted her romance with the hunk actor.
Matteo has been given the chance to confirm the issue; in fact, he had several interviews with reporters these past few months, unfortunately, he failed to say his piece. Meanwhile, the reports and tweets regarding his statement on his girlfriend's biggest revelation during the thanksgiving party of the movie "Maybe This Time" is circulating online this evening, according to Igi Bumagat, one of the AshMatts, the Cebuano hunk had an exclusive interview with the Kapamilya reporters in the U.S. while attending the PAFCOM 2014.
Igi did not give any detailed information regarding the interview, but based on his posted message on Instagram, it was about Sarah Geronimo. Matteo became the talk of the town when he courted Sarah during their stay in the U.S. for a concert series last year, since then, rumors didn't stop. When they came back to Manila after the concert series, they decided not to talk about their blossoming romance, they only said they are just friends.

The award was presented by the Credit Union National Association (CUNA) Marketing and Business Development Council, a national network comprised of nearly 1,000 credit union marketing and business development professionals. Awards are given in each of 33 categories ranging from advertising to community events and beyond.

Chesapeake Walks Like an Egyptian
The Arab Spring did wonders for global oil prices but nothing for U.S. natural gas. Regardless of the momentous events across the Middle East, gas prices fell 32% in 2011 as producers like Chesapeake Energy pumped out more than the market could take.
Weak prices for its major product aren't the only thing weighing on Chesapeake's share price these days though. CEO Aubrey McClendon's huge loans to fund his participation in an unusual program allowing him to invest directly in Chesapeake's wells have sparked a review by the company's Board. The resulting kerfuffle prompted a credit rating downgrade from Standard & Poor's last week.
Even as Chesapeake's share price has slid, the cost of insuring its debt has jumped. As recently as mid-March, it cost just over $400,000 to insure Chesapeake debt with a face value of $10 million, according to Markit. As of Friday lunchtime, it cost $627,000.
That is similar to the $605,000 cost of insuring a $10 million slug of the sovereign debt of Egypt — coincidence, surely, although Chesapeake is no stranger to a bit of unrest itself these days.
