Attendees must respect common sense rules for public behavior, personal interaction, common courtesy, and respect for private property. Harassing or offensive behavior will not be tolerated. Comic-Con reserves the right to revoke, without refund, the membership and badge of any attendee not in compliance with this policy. Persons finding themselves in a situation where they feel their safety is at risk or who become aware of an attendee not in compliance with this policy should immediately locate the nearest member of security, or staff member, so that the matter can be handled in an expeditious manner.
The Comic-Con Show Office is located in the Hall C lobby. During show hours you can always find a Comic-Con staff member or security guard in the show office. Please visit us there if you have any concerns or questions.

WASHINGTON — With the economy sputtering, the warring factions of Congress have lurched toward gridlock over the usually noncontroversial process of approving disaster aid and keeping the government from shutting down.
The GOP-dominated House early Friday muscled through a $3.7 billion disaster aid measure along with a stopgap spending bill to keep the government running past next Friday. The narrow 219-203 tally reversed an embarrassing loss for House GOP leaders that came Wednesday at the hands of rebellious tea party Republicans.
Even before the House vote, however, the leader of the Senate promised that majority Democrats will scuttle the measure as soon as it reaches the chamber on Friday. Democrats there want a much larger infusion of disaster aid and they're angry over cuts totaling $1.6 trillion from clean energy programs — and the strong-arm tactics being tried by the House.
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., said the House plan "is not an honest effort at compromise. ... It will be rejected by the Senate."
The combination of events promises to push the partisan war into the weekend and could increase the chances that the government's main disaster aid account at the Federal Emergency Management Agency might run dry early next week.
More broadly, the renewed partisanship over what should be routine moves to help disaster victims and prevent a government shutdown sends a discouraging sign as a bitterly divided Washington looks ahead to more significant debates on President Barack Obama's jobs plan and efforts by a congressional supercommittee to slash deficits.
Thursday's maneuvering started as Republicans controlling the House moved to resurrect the disaster aid package after an embarrassing loss on Wednesday.
Instead of reaching out to Democrats, House GOP leaders looked to persuade wayward tea party Republicans to change their votes and help approve the assistance — and try to force Senate Democrats into a corner with little choice but to accept cuts to clean energy programs they favor. One sweetener for conservatives was to add $100 million in savings from a program that financed a federal loan to the now-bankrupt solar panel maker Solyndra Inc.
Republicans had hoped that once the House passed the measure, Senate Democrats would have had little choice but to accept it, especially with lawmakers eager to escape Washington for a weeklong recess. The move instead infuriated Democrats, who felt GOP leaders were trying to "jam" them into accepting the GOP bill.
"We're fed up with this," said Sen. Dick Durbin of Illinois, the Democratic Whip. "They know what it takes for us to extend (stopgap funding) and keep the government in business. And this brinksmanship ... we're sick of it."
Unless Congress acts by midnight next Friday, much of the government will shut down. More immediate is the threat that the government's main disaster aid account will run out of money early next week.
"The Senate should pass this bill immediately, and the president should sign it, because any political games will delay FEMA money that suffering American families desperately need," said Michael Steel, spokesman for House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio.
The battling came as the stock market absorbed heavy losses and pessimism about the economy deepened. The arguing was reminiscent of the poisonous atmosphere of this summer rather than lawmakers' more recent promises to work together to find common ground where possible.
Wednesday's embarrassing 230-195 defeat of the disaster aid bill in the GOP-majority House exposed divisions within the Republican Party that demonstrated the tenuous grip that Boehner has on the chamber. Forty-eight Republicans opposed the measure then, chiefly because it would permit spending at the rate approved in last month's debt pact between Boehner and Obama, a level that is unpopular with tea party lawmakers.

In Pause from Crises, President Obama Awards Arts, Humanities Medals
In a momentary pause from a schedule packed with world crises, President Barack Obama appeared at the White House's East Room on Monday to award the 2013 recipients of the National Medal of the Arts and the National Humanities Medal.
Writer Maxine Hong Kingston, radio host Diane Rehm and arts patron Joan Harris were among 12 National Medal of the Arts and 10 National Humanities Medal recipients to gather for the White House ceremony.
The ceremony also marked the first time in which either medal has been awarded to a film industry executive, Jeffrey Katzenberg. Mr. Katzenberg was also a large bundler for both of Mr. Obama's presidential campaigns.
Mr. Obama, in remarks delivered before the medals were distributed, invoked presidential history to convey a long-lasting commitment to the arts and humanities.
He gestured up at the portrait of George Washington, which First Lady Dolly Madison had saved from a burning White House during the War of 1812.
He then recounted the scene of President Abraham Lincoln's cabinet meeting where he presented the Emancipation Proclamation. Before doing so, Mr. Obama said, Mr. Lincoln read the assembled group two chapters of a humorous contemporary novel and scolded them for not laughing aloud.
"What Lincoln understood is that the arts and the humanities aren't just there to be consumed and enjoyed whenever we have a free moment in our lives," Mr. Obama said. "We need them. Like medicine, they help us live."
In all, 22 medals were distributed, two of which went to the Brooklyn Academy of Music and the American Antiquarian Society. Among those in attendance was House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D., Calif.), whom Mr. Obama called a "great champion of the arts."

Easy to wear sheaths are hard to come by, especially ones that can travel with you through different cities, countries, time frames, and even the different pounds you're bound to weigh throughout your lifetime. Forgiving dresses of a certain nature are quite genius and more often than not, a closet staple. We love Acne's Wanted Dress ($269) and will definitely be sporting this come next month's inevitable bloated week.
I once had a pillowcase that looked JUST like that.
And I NOW have a kitchen towel that looks just like that! Imagine the odds and what a coincidence! :)(:

"Keeping Dreams on Track," the 2014 American Honda Rose Parade entry, brought the idea of a train through the present and into the future with five floats coupled like railroad cars. At 274 feet, the float was the longest in Rose Parade history, yet it made the trip with one engine and one driver.
The company called the entry "a fantastic look into the future where all things are possible if we follow our dreams. Honda believes in the power of dreams, and their ability to empower, inspire, and overcome great challenges en route to changing the world."
The train featured a Rose Parade favorite, ASIMO, driving a pretty hot-looking roadster. Going along with the theme of the 125th Rose Parade, "Dreams Come True," Honda fulfilled the dreams of spectators who wish they could be in the parade: Camera along the parade route captured cheering fans and projected them on two giant video screens on the fourth car. Honda's own dreams include the new Acura NSX, HondaJet, and ASIMO, "the world's most advanced humanoid robot."
Riders and outwalkers were Southern California high school students who had participated in one of the exchange programs under the TOMODACHI Initiative, a public-private partnership created after the Great East Japan Earthquake. TOMODACHI exposes young Japanese and American leaders to educational and cultural exchanges and entrepreneurship and leadership programs.
The float was designed by Dave Pittman and built by Phoenix Decorating Company. Music was written specifically for the float by Grammy Award-winning composer Daniel Ho. As a presenting sponsor of the parade, Honda did not compete in judging. For photos of each segment of the train, see the slideshow attached to this article.
Honda has been in the Rose Parade for 53 years and entered a float for 38 of those years. The company has been a presenting sponsor for four years, and for the fourth straight year, Honda's float was propelled by a specially configured Honda hybrid, low-emission engine to help the float function more efficiently and reduce its carbon footprint.

The American Diabetes Association (ADA) …
Wait, bleh! … I get a bad taste in my mouth EVERY TIME I type those words. :(
I apologize for being sidetracked, now where were we? Oh yes….
One of the ADA's many websites published an article that was so insightful … it incited anger … imagine that?
The title of the article is "The Ups and Downs of Blood Glucose". This was a simple, short and purely informational post showing how three hypothetical persons' blood sugar readings might look … if they were hooked up to a Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM) device.
Here's the chart from the post below.
This article including the graph disgusts me… why?
This is just another way to 'dumb down' diabetics into believing that high blood sugar is 'ok'.
Why in the HELL would you use an example of an A1C of 8 … when 'teaching diabetics'???
Note: An A1C test is used to measure blood sugar levels over a three month period. This is noted at the bottom of the picture above.
Do you know what an A1C of 8 is indicative of regarding actual blood sugar? It is approximately an AVERAGE of 207 mg/dl !!!! (11.6 mmol/l) EVEN IF A diabetic maintained that day and night that is WAY ABOVE the blood sugar levels that are harmful to cells, organs and LIFE!
If I were going to teach diabetics about good blood sugar control, if that were my goal I'd show an A1C of … I don't know … maybe 5.5 … that at least an average in the upper ranges of what the ADA calls 'normal'.
AND if you are going to use an A1C of 8 … at least have the decency to ANNOUNCE that this is too high and damaging … do that if you give a damn about diabetics.
Instead they only mention… very nonchalantly,
"… and your target A1C is most likely lower."
Really? The organization supposedly dedicated to helping diabetics should be promoting truly normal blood sugars.
The ADA knows that diabetics should maintain non-diabetic normal blood sugars, or close to it. If the ADA does not know this? …shame on them. Read this post about my blood sugar goals and why.
Getting Back to the Graph
Here's what a day of blood glucose readings might look like for someone with no diabetes, a person with type 1(with an A1C of about 8 percent), and a person with type 2 taking oral medication (also with an A1C around 8 percent).
Really, look at the chart closely. These are blood glucose readings of the typical diabetic who follows the ADA's high carb, grain based meal plan.
Soaring highs and crashing lows. My blood sugars closely resemble the readings of the "No Diabetes" line.
That should be the GOAL of all diabetics.
However, you can't get there if you follow the high carb, grain based meal plan of the ADA.
The person with type 1 diabetes, on the other hand, oscillates widely between low and high depending on insulin and food intake. And the type 2 profile, which is based on someone who takes oral medication and not insulin, shows fewer ups and downs, but is generally in a range much higher than that of a person with no diabetes.
This statement above is so damning.
It is damning to all those who read it and believe it.
And it damns the ADA because they are clearly stating that blood sugars that are in a range, 'much higher than that of a person with no diabetes" is to be expected.
This reminds me of the ADA's publicizing of the Accord studies which erroneously concluded that 'strict' blood sugar control did not improve mortality rates. Like much that the ADA does… that is immoral, unethical and should be illegal! (I posted about them here.) The closer a diabetic can maintain 'normal' blood sugar…the more healthy they will be.
THE PROBLEM … you can't obtain and maintain normal blood sugars by eating the high carb (high grain) meal plan of the ADA! So they do all they can to 'justify' elevated blood sugars. Is absolutely shameful.
Say NO to the ADA and their high carb meal plan … it does NOT benefit diabetics.
IT DOES benefit Big Food and Big Pharma … here's 19 million reasons why…
Here is my Diabetes Warrior Info:

We're in a car, heading to a fund-raiser for a group called the EcoMom Alliance, and if Robin Wright Penn were a typical environmentally conscious star, the car would be a Prius and she'd be extolling the virtues of composting. Instead, we are barreling through the streets of San Francisco in an old black Land Rover that looks as though it might get 14 miles per gallon, tops. "It's a piece of shit," she says. "I'm waiting for it to die." An American Spirit cigarette dangling from her lips, she's the first to acknowledge her carbon-based crimes. "It's blasphemy," she says, laughing, and cringes in mock shame. "Can you believe I'm going to EcoMoms like this?"
It's not that Wright Penn doesn't support the group's goals of sustainable living and women's empowerment—she is, after all, a spokesperson, and yes, she does compost. It's enviro-dogmatism she can't stand. "I do believe in it," she says of the green lifestyle. "But it doesn't mean it's my only religion. You take pieces of various religions; you reject what doesn't work for you."
That could well be Robin Wright Penn's life motto. After achieving fame early as Buttercup in the 1987 hit The Princess Bride and later as the ill-fated Jenny in the 1994 phenomenon Forrest Gump, Wright Penn zeroed in on the bits and pieces of the celebrity's existence that worked for her, rejecting the rest. She rebuffed studio offers for Born on the Fourth of July, Jurassic Park, The Firm and Batman Forever, opting instead for powerful performances in little-seen dramas such as The Playboys, Loved, She's So Lovely and White Oleander. She married Hollywood bad boy Sean Penn, then decamped with him to a town in northern California, where she cast herself as a full-time mother and played peek-a-boo with a curious public and with producers and directors eager to harness her talent.
But now, at 43—her teenagers looking ahead to college, her career clock ticking—she appears poised to break out of her cocoon of self-doubt. "The alarm went off," she says. "There's no limbo anymore. There's no time. I'm too old for this shit."
As if to prove her point, Wright Penn has had an unusually busy year onscreen. In April, she played a congressman's wife in the journalism thriller State of Play, opposite Russell Crowe and Ben Affleck, and she has a diverse group of movies slated for release this fall. She joins a cavalcade of stars in the ensemble film New York, I Love You, and she'll be featured alongside Jim Carrey in an animated version of A Christmas Carol, which reteamed her with Forrest Gump director Robert Zemeckis. She also stars in The Private Lives of Pippa Lee, as the seemingly docile wife of a much older man (Alan Arkin) who sees her life unravel when she moves with him to a retirement community.
By being in such demand, Wright Penn is clearly defying the usual Hollywood trajectory for over-40 women. When I ask if this is accidental or by design, her answer is laced with the self-criticism that she admits has sometimes crippled her in the past. "I think I'm a late bloomer," she says. "It took me this long not to be afraid. I think I've been a flaky procrastinator; I couldn't turn motivation into active drive." At this point Wright Penn is sitting in a San Francisco café, enjoying pre-fund-raiser panini and a glass of Champagne. Her face is bare of makeup, which somehow only highlights her astonishing good looks, and she seems radiant and relaxed in her tight faded jeans and Blauer black leather uniform jacket. The starspangled chevron on her sleeve reads "Uncompromising Performance."
"I'd been stagnant," she says, gazing out the window. Then, spotting a couple making out on the sidewalk, she emits a sound like a low growl. "Oh yeah, get it!" she whoops at them, then nods her approval as they move on, snogging their way up the street. "Isn't that great?" she grins, then returns to the question at hand. "I think I fucked myself by not being strong enough. It's almost like waffling—you know, 'Can I do this? Could I do it completely, with conviction, and be successful?' I think that's being young and finding out who you are, and all of a sudden, post-40, you just go, 'I do know.' I have the answer; there's not as much questioning of my abilities."
Her newfound confidence coincides with big family changes. Unlike many actresses her age who've recently had IVF twins, Wright Penn is contemplating an empty nest. Daughter Dylan Frances, 18, is off to college in the fall, and her 16-year-old son, Hopper Jack (named for family friends Dennis Hopper and Jack Nicholson), isn't far behind. "At least twice a week, I pull over and sob," says the actress, her eyes welling. "My baby is leaving. It's an emotionally full time, but it's not sad. I can't wait for Dylan to go [out and] live. That's what makes me cry." With the duties of motherhood lightening, she says, "I feel younger than I ever have."
And less private. After years of protecting herself and her family from the spotlight, Wright Penn is now signaling that she's ready for her close-up. At the Cannes Film Festival in May, for example, she was an arresting presence, strolling the red carpet as a member of the jury. "There's clarity of life now," she says. "I think I've always been a follow-the- leader with my career, or maybe waiting for things to happen. Now I'm like, 'I'm OK—I know the direction, whoever's on board can go with me.' "
Unspoken but clear is that Sean Penn may not be on that train. Even before their marriage in 1996, the couple rollercoastered through years of ups and downs. They split after each of their children was born (in 1991 and 1993). In December 2007, each filed for divorce, citing irreconcilable differences, then withdrew their petitions four months later. Wright Penn was prominently by her husband's side at this year's Academy Awards, where Sean won best actor for Milk. But two months later, he filed for a legal separation. Then, while Wright Penn was in Cannes, he withdrew his filing, calling it an "arrogant mistake," and later dropped out of two films to reportedly focus on his family. At press time, despite media speculation to the contrary, the couple was separated and Wright Penn had no plans to reconcile.
Even friends of the couple are at a loss to describe what one calls their "peculiar chemistry." There are signs that Sean's greater celebrity was hard for Robin to deal with. "She always referred to herself in the fame area as 'Sean Penn's wife,' " says another friend. "She said, 'People never look at me and say, "There's Robin Wright Penn." They're just looking at me because I'm Sean Penn's wife.' " Asked about her marriage, Wright Penn tosses her hair and looks out the window before saying that she's ready to move on. "I hit that crossroad a while ago— for Robin [ jabbing her hand at herself], the 'I know what I don't want' was flashing neon lights," she says. "I have no regrets. I, we, have two amazing children we raised together."
The mysteries of marriage figure prominently in The Private Lives of Pippa Lee, in which the title character defies expectations by taking up with a younger man (played by Keanu Reeves), while undergoing a darkly comic nervous breakdown. "It's an extreme example of what women go through at certain times in their lives," Wright Penn says. The film, written and directed by Rebecca Miller (The Ballad of Jack and Rose) and due out October 23, required Wright Penn to play a woman older than she is. "We started out using prosthetics around the eyes, but it looked weird," says Miller, who first considered casting a fiftyish actress. "So we ended up deepening lines that she has. Because she has that bone structure, she has the kind of face that's not going to go anywhere for a while." It's a gamble that would be "poison" for most actresses, Miller adds, but not Wright Penn. "She wears her beauty when it's appropriate to do so, and tries her best to erode it when it's not. Her attitude is that of the character actor."
Wright Penn, who donned a pair of crooked teeth for her part in The Pledge, says she's drawn to character roles because they allow her to disappear into them. Despite having chosen the most public of professions, she is terrified of public speaking, and her friends know not to introduce her to casual acquaintances on the street. Asked why she's uncomfortable in those situations, Wright Penn replies, "There's not the protection of playing somebody. But put me in front of a camera and I could masturbate if that was what was required of my character."
That's not a typical actress quote—but even as a teenager, Wright Penn was far from typical. Her divorced mother was a Mary Kay cosmetics sales executive who took Robin and her older brother, Richard, an accomplished ballet dancer in his youth, out of school periodically to accompany her on sales trips. She pushed her kids to excel, and Robin was career-oriented from a young age. By high school—the family moved to La Jolla, California, two years before she graduated—Wright Penn had developed her own strong sense of style. "She didn't look like anybody else," says her longtime friend Diana Stobo. "La Jolla was big hair and lots of jewels, and she had that thrift store, rocker look and a rebellious way about her." Wright Penn was nonetheless elected homecoming queen, but even at that age she couldn't bask in an audience's approval. "I thought it was going to be like Carrie and they would pour pig's blood all over me," she says with a laugh.
On weekends, she would drive to L.A. for modeling gigs. One summer she went to Japan, where her brother was living, to model. She returned with $50,000, but she was not happy with her early career: "It was degrading," she now says. At five foot six, she was too short for runway work, but she still did other modeling stints in Paris and Milan before turning to acting.
By 19, Robin Wright was appearing regularly on the soap opera Santa Barbara, and she was briefly married to her costar Dane Witherspoon. Her breakthrough came in 1987, when Rob Reiner chose her as the virginal Buttercup in The Princess Bride; her English accent was so convincing that casting agents then had to be persuaded she was American. The film was the hit of the summer, but experiencing fame "made me not want it," she says. "It wasn't fear of success; I wasn't interested in being a celebrity. I'm still not." She chafed against being cast again for her blonde beauty; once, after a botched hair-coloring job, she grabbed the clippers and shaved her head. "I looked like G.I. Jane. I found the experience incredibly liberating."
The studio projects she turned down didn't "touch my heart," she says. "I never had an aversion to doing something commercial. The question for me always was, 'Can I offer it anything?' If I can't, what's the point?" She gravitated instead to independent film, and in 1990 she was cast opposite Sean Penn, then newly divorced from Madonna, in the gangland drama State of Grace. A month after their wedding in 1996, Wright Penn was carjacked outside the couple's L.A. home with her son and daughter, then ages five and three, in the backseat. She calmly (and successfully) negotiated with the thieves to release the children before they took the car, but deeply traumatized by the incident, the family moved to Marin County, north of San Francisco.
For Wright Penn, the highest priority in those years was raising her children. She limited her roles to films that shot during the summer or didn't require her to be away for more than 10 days during the school year. She says, convincingly, that she doesn't wish she'd agreed to more films. "Everything I would have wanted to do had already been done by Meryl Streep," she says. "Sophie's Choice. Kramer vs. Kramer. Silkwood. Done."
Now, after years of making choices based on what she didn't want, Wright Penn is ready to be driven by what she does want: "Joy. Decisiveness. Travel." Offscreen, she has become an advocate for The Greatest Silence, a documentary about violence against women in the Congo, and she's working with the EcoMom Alliance to raise money to aid women and children in that country. Soon she plans to return to L.A., where her daughter will be attending film school and where her brother and other family members live. To bolster her confidence, she's been working with the renowned stage director J Ranelli. Despite her talent, Wright Penn says she feels insecure because she never attended college or had formal training to be an actor. "I have no foundation other than instinct," she says. "If I had to sail a boat, I would figure it out. That's kind of what I've felt like as an actress."
Wright Penn's fans in the industry say she possesses qualities that can't be taught: perfect mimicry and the ability to disappear into a role. "I have this whole theory on her," says writer/director Erin Dignam, who has worked with the actress on a number of projects, including Loved. "She's extremely intelligent, and she's not intellectual: It's a great combination for an actress who has to inhabit all these people who think in different ways. She really embraces the words in an egoless way." Dignam also cites Sean Penn as an admirer of Robin's work. "He told me early on that she was much more the natural actor than him," she says.
After years of playing tormented women, Wright Penn is now shopping for a comedy that will display the funny side that her friends know well. She has a wicked, self-deprecating wit, they say, and a perfect sense of timing. "If she can get a comedy role, people are going to be shocked," Dignam says. "She could just explode." Wright Penn also hopes to direct and produce, and she is in discussions about a Broadway play. "If you don't have passion for things, you don't get up in the morning," she says. Whatever direction she chooses, this much is clear: Robin Wright Penn will deliver an uncompromising performance.

The Eva Russell Chandler Heritage Preserve is a really interesting place. Along the short trail you'll find ruins of an old homestead, 150 foot tall Slickum Falls, Slickum Creek, rare plants, and a fully unobstructed view of downtown Greenville some 20 miles away, as the crow flies.
During a visit in February of 2014, my waterfall hiking buddies and I were presented with a perfectly clear day so the individual buildings in Greenville were easily seen. The clear weather also presented us with a mystery. Way away from the downtown buildings was another tall, rectangular building. What could that building be? Just standing on the rock face and guessing, it looked like it might be somewhere around Easley.
I went home and did some Google satellite research, but could find nothing around Easley that would match the profile seen from the mountain. I expanded by search but to no avail, figuring the search to be a lost cause.
Ken Swain, another of the Grandfather Mountaineers, has some good camera equipment including a telephoto lens. A couple of days later, he sent me a photo he had taken from Slickum Falls. A good shot of downtown Greenville and, off to the right, there was our mystery building again.
The first thing I did was to take Ken's photo and enlarge the mystery building by 800%. It clearly was a rectangular building with the middle section taller than the two sides (as you can see in the slide show). It also would have to be several stories tall and almost facing directly toward the mountains and Slickum Falls.
I then fell back on some old Army map reading skills learned more than 40 years ago – I shot an azimuth. After printing out Ken's photo, I drew a line on the photo from the approximate point where Ken would have been standing out to the tallest building in Greenville, the old Daniel Building, in the distance. I drew a similar line out to the mystery building. The angle between the two lines was 68 degrees.
I then needed to transfer this information to a map so I printed one of the upstate and drew a line from the Slickum Falls location to where the Daniel Building sits in Greenville. With a compass, I calculated 68 degrees and drew another line. While we originally thought the mystery building was somewhere near Easley, the line went north of Easley, in fact, it went north of Pickens. It did pass through Clemson.
With that line to follow, I turned to Google's satellite view and began to follow the line. For any possible building, I would drop to Street View to check the building but there was no fit.
I immediately thought of Death Valley, Clemson's football stadium. It was almost right on the line, but it sits low down along an old river course. Also, it did not have the elevated center section seen on the mystery building and it was facing the wrong way.
Backing up the line a bit, a little bit off the line was the Oconee Nuclear Station. It faced the mountains but there are three separated reactor towers so we should have been able to see between them. The mystery building appeared solid. And the elevated center didn't make sense since all three towers are the same height.
I went back to the photo. What did we know about the mystery building? It is tall, probably more than 5 stories; the center is raised; it faces the mountains; it is probably sitting on a hill, which would explain its prominence. I kept going back to Clemson and finally realized there was, in fact, a building on the campus which met all those criteria plus it sat right on the azimuth I had drawn: It was The Clemson House. Once a hotel, it is now student housing for Clemson University.
Sitting on a hilltop, The Clemson House is a 6-story, rectangular building with an elevated center section. And the back of the building directly faces Slickum Falls some 32 miles away.
Just never know when you might need some of that old Army training.

WALNUT CREEK, Calif. - Washington State University student-athlete Abe Lodwick has been named to the 2011 Pacific-10 Men's Basketball All-Academic First Team, conference commissioner Larry Scott announced Thursday.
This year marks the sixth-straight season a Cougar has been named to the all-academic first team, as Nikola Koprivica was named to the team last year. Over the last five seasons, WSU has earned all-academic honors 15 times. Previous first team all-academic honorees include; Koprivica (2010), Aron Baynes, Daven Harmeling, Koprivica and Rochestie (2009), Robbie Cowgill, Harmeling and Rochestie (2008), Baynes, Cowgill and Harmeling (2007) and Cowgill (2006).
Lodwick, a redshirt junior from Bend, Ore., is a communication major with a 3.21 grade point average. He is an all-academic honoree for the second time after earning second team accolades last season. Lodwick has played in all 34 games for the Cougars this season, starting 31 of them. He's averaging 3.6 points and 4.1 rebounds in 23.5 minutes per game. This season he's doubled his minutes played as a redshirt sophomore last year and is averaging nearly double the amount of rebounds from last season. His best scoring output this year came at Arizona State Feb. 19 where he scored 11 points. He grabbed a season-high eight rebounds twice, most recently at Stanford, Jan. 15.
To be eligible for selection to the academic team, a student-athlete must have a minimum 3.0 overall grade-point average and be either a starter or significant contributor.
WSU continues its season as it takes on Wichita State, Tuesday, March 29 at 7 p.m. ET (4 p.m. PT) at Madison Square Garden at New York. The game will be shown live on ESPN2.

I have decided that if I intend to maintain my weight, I'm going to have to set some new health and fitness goals. Goals are easy enough to set when you're losing weight, and to measure: When I was dropping pounds, I aimed for about a pound a week and not more than five pounds a month. Each week, as I stepped on the scale and saw the results I wanted, I was joyous and even more motivated to continue the lifestyle I began in January 2007.
Now that the weight is off and has been off for 15 months, I find I need to redirect my energies as I feel myself falling back into bad habits: eating past the point of fullness, having lunch out three times a week, skimping on the amount of fruit I eat each day. One day last week, I even had a Quarter Pounder with Cheese, fries and a Coke for the first time in more than two years. It was good, but not worth the way I felt afterward – sluggish, sleepy, greasy, out of control.
Even with these poor food choices, the scales aren't showing a gain, but some Bermuda shorts I bought last summer are a bit tighter in the waist than I remembered (they must have shrunk in the dryer). So I've come up with a plan that includes very concrete, measurable goals.
First, I'm aiming to walk 15 miles a week. For the past couple of years, I've walked probably about eight or maybe 10 miles a week. Setting this new goal will be a challenge, but one I'm looking forward to.
The second thing I'm going to do is include at least one fruit with my breakfast. That seems the most logical – and easiest – time of day to work that in. As time goes by, I may try to add another fruit at lunch. That would give me four a day, because I already eat two fruits as snacks during the day.
Here's a breakfast recipe that includes some fresh fruit and has 287 calories and less than 10 grams of fat per serving. I plan to make it for breakfast Easter morning.
Blueberry Coffee Cake
11⁄2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1⁄4 teaspoon salt
3⁄4 cup granulated sugar
6 tablespoons butter, softened
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 large egg
1 large egg white
11⁄3 cups low-fat buttermilk
2 cups fresh blueberries, divided
1 tablespoon turbinado sugar*
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Combine flour, baking powder, soda and salt, stirring with a whisk. Place granulated sugar and butter in a large bowl; beat at medium speed 2 minutes. Add vanilla, egg and egg white and beat well. Add flour mixture and buttermilk alternately to sugar mixture, beginning and ending with the flour mixture.
Spoon half the batter into a 9-inch round baking pan coated with cooking spray. Sprinkle evenly with 1 cup blueberries. Spoon remaining batter over blueberries; sprinkle evenly with remaining 1 cup blueberries. Sprinkle top evenly with turbinado sugar. Bake for 50 minutes or until a wooden pick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool in pan 10 minutes on a wire rack; remove from pan. Cool completely. Cut into 8 wedges.
* Turbinado sugar is raw sugar in a crystal form that has a slight molasses flavor. Substitute brown sugar if desired.

Andark Gain Planning Permission for Diver Training Lake - www.andarklake.co.uk
After a 3 year battle - several planning applications and an appeal - Andy & Stephanie Goddard have obtained planning permission last week for a Natural Diver Training Lake to be built on the land to the rear of Andark's present buildings and car park - alittle further up Oslands Lane.
Andy's comments last week after rushing from setting-up the Soutahmpton Boat Show Stand to get to the Planning meeting to speak. 'I can't really believe we have got it yet - what seemed like a simple idea 4 years ago to build a lake at Andark after we lost the use of Horsea Island - turn into a rather long process'
Over the 4 years Andark has received excellent support from Fareham planning officers and Andy Goddard said ' we hope to create something borough are proud of.'
The facility is going to be approximately 70 meters x 45 meters and a depth of 7meters. Along side the lake will be a single storey building which will incorporate changing rooms, booking office, office equipment room and wet classroom. This building will be buried on three sides with a grass covered roof.

The Wolf Pack made short work of the Sound Tigers on Saturday night. They grabbed a first period lead and never looked back.
The Wolf Pack were donned in their new alternate red jerseys. They were as red as you can get. Maybe that made them mad as they really dominated the Sound Tigers in this game.
News broke early on Saturday that starting goalie Dov Grumet Morris was "banged up". He also probably needed a break as he had started the last seven games straight. During that time twice he was bowled over by players rushing the net. The season takes a toll on players.
Jason Missiaen was called up from the ECHL affiliate, the Greenville Road Warriors, he would back up David LeNevue. The first star of the night was Ryan Bourque who was one missed breakaway away from a hat trick. Bourque had a very good game netting the game winner and an what turned out to be the first insurance goal. Bourque is having a terrific year he is on the score sheet about every other game and with his 18th and 19th last night he is the teams' second leading scorer, just behind Danny Kristo(21).
Grumet Morris being out was the top topic on the Hartford XL Center concourse, but by the end of the game the talk was about LeNevue who stopped all Bridgeport shots(22) to earn the Wolf Pack's first shut out of the season. This was LeNevue's second shut out as a member of the Wolf Pack he had previously earned a shut out when he played with the Wolf Pack for a brief time back in the 2007-2008 season. LeNevue was the third star. LeNevue should get the start again today as the Pack play Bridgeport again at the Webster Bank Arena.
The games offense ended when Danny Kristo scored his 21th of the season on a breakaway. The goal gave the Pack a 4-0 lead and it sent Sound Tiger net minder Phillippe Trudeau to the bench. Trudeau gave up four goals on 18 shots. His replacement Kenny Reiter held the fort down making 14 saves on 14 shots.
The Wolf Pack are in Bridgeport playing this afternoon. It is hard to win two games against the same team in less than 24 hours but the Wolf Pack will have to do that to keep their small playoff chances alive.
You can listen to the game on Fox Sports Radio 1410AM or you can watch the game on WWW.AHLLIVE.com.

We need to block a large number of requests by IP address with nginx. The requests are proxied by a CDN, and so we cannot block with the actual client IP address (it would be the IP address of the CDN, not the actual client). So, we have $http_x_forwarded_for which contains the IP which we need to block for a given request.
Similarly, we cannot use IP tables, as blocking the IP address of the proxied client will have no effect. We need to use nginx to block the requested based on the value of $http_x_forwarded_for.
Initially, we tried multiple, simple if statements: http://pastie.org/5110910
However, this caused our nginx memory usage to jump considerably. We went from somewhere around a 40MB resident size to over a 200MB resident size.
If we changed things up, and created one large regex that matched the necessary IP addresses, memory usage was fairly normal: http://pastie.org/5110923
Keep in mind that we're trying to block many more than 3 or 4 IP addresses... more like 50 to 100, which may be included in several (20+) nginx server configuration blocks.
Thoughts? Suggestions?
I'm interested both in why memory usage would spike so greatly using multiple if blocks, and also if there are any better ways to achieve our goal.

Alvin E. Roth
Born: 18 December 1951, New York, NY, USA
Affiliation at the time of the award: Harvard University, Cambridge, MA, USA, Harvard Business School, Boston, MA, USA
Prize motivation: "for the theory of stable allocations and the practice of market design"
Field: applied game theory
Prize share: 1/2
How to bring different players together in the best possible way is a key economic problem. Examples of situations where this problem arises include matching children with different schools, and kidneys or other organs with patients who require transplants. From the 1960s onward, Lloyd Shapley used what is known as Cooperative Game Theory to study different matching methods. Within the framework of this theory, it is especially important that a stable match is found. A stable match entails that there are no two agents who would prefer one another over their current counterparts. In collaboration with other researchers, Shapley has succeeded in identifying methods that achieve this stability.
Beginning in the 1980s, Alvin Roth used Shapley's theoretical results to explain how markets function in practice. Through empirical studies and lab experiments, Roth and his colleagues demonstrated that stability was critical to successful matching methods. Roth has also developed systems for matching doctors with hospitals, school pupils with schools, and organ donors with patients.

Kidnapped soldiers Eldad Regev, 26, of Kiryat Motzkin and Ehud Goldwasser, 31, of Nahariya
On Wednesday, July 12, 2006, at approximately 9:00 a.m, the Hizbullah terror organization attacked a number of targets on the Israeli northern border.
In this attack two soldiers were abducted, three soldiers were killed and two were wounded. The soldiers killed are Sergeant-Major Class Eyal Benin, 22, Sergeant-Major Shani Turgeman , 24, and Staff-Sergeant Wassim Nazal, 27.
Throughout the day, Hizbullah terror organization fired Katyusha rockets and mortar shells at Israel's northern borders' communities and IDF posts.
In response, the IDF carried out over 100 aerial attacks in Lebanon, targeting mainly Hizbullah bases. A vehicle, in which two Hizbullah terrorists were traveling, was targeted in the evening. A number of bridges and roads in Lebanon were also attacked, in order to prevent Hezbollah from transferring the abducted soldiers.
Ground forces entered Lebanon in the area of the attack. During the operation, a large explosive device was detonated underneath an Israeli tank. Four soldiers manning the tank were hit in the explosion. IDF forces haven't managed to reach the tank yet, in spite of continuous attempts to do so, since all rescue forces sent for the tank have met heavy fire. Assessments indicate the four soldiers are dead. An IDF soldier, Sergeant Cohen Nimrod, was killed and two were wounded from the fire during the rescue attempts.
From press conference with GOC of IDF Northern Command, Major General Udi Adam:
Close to 9 am the Hizbullah terror organization executed an attack. An IDF reconnaissance activity, conducted by two Hummer jeeps, was attacked close to the fence between Israel and Lebanon, in the area between Shtula and Zerit. Anti-tank missiles and small arms were used in the attack. The terrorists infiltrated into Israeli territory, killed three IDF soldiers and kidnapped two soldiers into Lebanese territory. Simultaneously Katyusha rockets were fired at Israeli communities and IDF posts in the area. Five citizens were injured in the attack.
Following the operation, an IDF force went in, as part of an attempt to pursue the terrorists and rescue the kidnapped soldiers. During the rescue efforts, an IDF tank hit a powerful explosive hidden in the area. As a result, four additional soldiers were killed. At this time additional attempts are made to rescue the soldiers present in the tank at the time of the explosion.
The IDF response, said Major General Adam, was very harsh: Since the event the IDF responds with great strength, through the land, air, and the sea, and is preparing for a powerful response with all means available in order to protect the citizens of Israel and IDF soldiers from attacks emanating from Lebanese territory.
"At this time we are uncertain about the status of the kidnapped soldiers," admitted Major General Adam, but he promised that "we will do whatever we can to return our sons home."
Infiltration attempt into an IDF post is thwarted A terrorist attempted to infiltrate into an IDF post in the western sector of the Israeli-Lebanese border. A force manning the post fired at the terrorist and killed him. Simultaneously, a number of rockets were fired from the western sector. No injuries were caused, and the citizens of the Lebanese border were instructed to go into their shelters.
In response the IDF attacked from the air targets of the Hizbullah terror organization in the western part of southern Lebanon. The IDF conducted artillery and tank fire on Hizbullah targets.
Israel Defense Forces holds the Lebanese government fully responsible for these attacks and demands it act immediately to ensure the safe return of the IDF soldiers being held in its territory. Summary of IDF attacks on southern Lebanon
The IDF has attacked thus far from the ground, the sea, and the air, targets in southern Lebanon, among them three bridges on the Litani River, two bridges crossing the A-Zaharni River, and Hezbollah posts and headquarters along the sector.
Additional targets that were attacked during the day are Hizbullah headquarters northwest of Ya'atar, Hezbollah base in the Davin area, Hizbullah base north of A-Sultania, Hizbullah base in Ayata-Shav, two Hizbullah bases in near Tzrifa, two Hizbullah bases east of Abel A-Saki, and a Hizbullah terrorist vehicle. The vehicle was hit while exiting a Hizbullah post.
The IDF is preparing to act with full strength and determination using any means available in order to protect the citizens of Israel and IDF soldiers from Lebanese attacks. The Israel Defense Forces holds the Lebanese government fully responsible for these attacks and demands it act immediately to ensure the safe return of the IDF soldiers being held in its territory.

The recent NY yogurt debate is becoming a comedy spectacle and Jon Stewart has now joined in to poke fun at the Senate's ridiculous floor debate on yogurt just one day after the Late Show's David Letterman mocked the state's upper legislative chamber for a heated debate over whether yogurt should be the official state snack.
As said by Fox News Saturday, the Senate spent 45 minutes debating the merits of the legislation, which was introduced at the urging of students from a dairy-producing area in western New York.
N.Y. State Senator Michael Ranzenhofer, R-Amherst, proposed Bill S.6695, which would make yogurt New York's official state snack.
Voicing his support of the bill, Ranzenhofer said..."Yogurt is not only a delicious, healthy treat; it is also an economic driver for many communities in New York, with yogurt manufacturers located all across the state — from Western New York to Long Island. That is why yogurt is such a suitable choice to be New York's State snack." He continued, "You have breakfast, lunch and dinner," explained Sen. Michael H. Ranzenhofer. "And then you have snacks."
Jon Stewart jokingly labeled the NY yogurt debate as being "the best 40 minutes any legislative chamber anywhere in the country has ever spent."
"This guy's like the Ken Jennings of yogurt!" Stewart exclaimed during Thursday night's NY yogurt debate comedy bit.
When State Senator Liz Krueger continues to ask more questions, Stewart yelled, "Are you f*cking kidding me! … Krueger, I got no patience for this nitpickery. Nobody–nobody!–wants to hear any more of your petty complaints about the yogurt bill."
"The good people of New York do not give a sh*t," he added.

When a class leaves for recess, their just-baked Gingerbread Man is left behind. But he's a smart cookie and heads out to find them. He'll run, slide, skip, and (after a mishap with a soccer ball) limp as fast as he can because: "I can catch them! I#xD5;m their Gingerbread Man!" With help from the gym teacher, the nurse, the art teacher and even the principal, the Gingerbread Man does find his class, and he's assured they'll never leave him behind again. Teachers often use the Gingerbread Man story to introduce new students to the geography and staff of schools, and this fresh, funny twist on the original can be used all year long.

Koa Misi
6'2 5/8, 251 pounds | Outside linebacker/defensive end | Utah
Pass coverage: Misi showed during Senior Bowl practices that he has the hip fluidity to turn and run with tight ends. Whether he can translate that into actual gameplay is an unknown. He rarely was used in coverage as an end for Utah. But when he did drop back, he got decent depth.
Pass rush: Is a disruptive pass rusher, even though his numbers may not indicate it. Finished a three-year career with 26 tackles for a loss and 11 sacks. But Misi does a good job of hustling and getting his hands into passing lanes.
Pursuit: Closing speed is excellent. Once Misi locates a target, he gets after it without wasted motion. Uses his plus agility to maneuver around offensive players to get after the ball.
Quickness: Possesses superb explosion off the snap. Fires out of his stance low and corners quickly. Quickness should translate just fine to playing linebacker.
Run defend: Misi's biggest weakness. Because of his lacking skills stopping the run, Misi may have to begin his career as only a pass-rush specialist. His lateral agility is solid, but he doesn't always take great angles to the ball. Gets beat on counter plays too frequently. Needs to become a more heady run defender. Gives a lot of effort. Can be knocked around by big backs.
Strength: Has decent playing strength. Knows how to properly use his hands to keep blockers off him. But sometimes when Misi gets into the backfield and stopped by a running back, he can be neutralized. Needs to continue adding strength to his lower body to work against the run.
Tackling: Misi's combination of explosiveness and upper body strength helps him make tackles when the ball carrier isn't in the open field. When he's going one-on-one with a ball carrier, he can be juked and needs to play less recklessly. If he can get stronger throughout his frame, he should only improve here.
Versatility: Misi largely played end for Utah, but he did play out of a two-point stance on occasion. He projects as a 3-4 linebacker because he doesn't have great size and may get neutralized by offensive linemen who don't let players get under their pads. Should be an asset on special teams.
Final word: Misi really came on during Senior Bowl week. He was one of the week's most outstanding players because he showed he has the athleticism to move laterally.
He'll probably enter the league as a project player, but his upside is very good.

TUSCALOOSA, Ala. -
NCAA East Regional InformationThe University of Alabama track and field team is set to begin competition at the NCAA East Region Preliminary Round on Thursday evening in Jacksonville, Fla.
The Crimson Tide is scheduled to have 13 student-athletes compete at North Florida's Hodges Stadium in hopes of qualifying for the NCAA Championships. The top 12 competitors in each event will move on to the NCAA Championships, June 6-9, in Des Moines Iowa.
The Tide's push towards qualifying begins on Thursday afternoon at noon CDT with Kamal Fuller looking to maintain or improve his position at regional competition to advance.

Events on the track get underway for UA at 4 p.m. CDT with Shani Chandler in the women's 400-meter hurdles. Chander has had a breakout sophomore season that has seen her win four of the seven races she has competed this season and finish fifth at the SEC Championships in her last race. Her season-best time of 59.04 is the 22nd fastest time in the regional field.
Action for the Tide concludes on Thursday with the men's 1,500 meters at 6:30 p.m. CDT as Gary Bradbury attempts to move into the top 12 in the region after finishing fourth at the SEC Championships in the event.

As fans saw in the season 3 finale of "Revenge," Emily's love, Aiden, is dead. This leaves the door open for Jack to waltz through but the question is, will he? This is a question Christian Today attempted to address on June 3.
Just because Aiden is out of the picture doesn't mean Emily will be ready to open her heart, even to Jack, her childhood sweetheart. While Emily and Aiden's romance rode the roller coaster, he was the one person who truly understood her. Not only did he understand her, he stood by her, even when she married Daniel Grayson for the sake of her revenge. She will definitely need time to grieve, not to mention the fact that she will have other things on her mind like making sure Victoria is dealt with and coping with the news that her father, David Clarke, is alive.
Nick Wechsler, who plays Jack Porter, said, "Not to be crass, but that's part of the idea. I think we always want them...I'm the carrot that we dangle for the audience."
He is right about that. We have been rooting for these two to make since the beginning.
Executive producer Sunil Nayar added his take on the situation, saying that 'Emily and Jack will bond during Emily's grief.' These may not be the best circumstances for rekindling a relationship that was never much more than a childhood crush, but according to the EP, that's how it works in the real world. Nayar said:
"...certainly the one person who will understand the loss she's experiencing is Jack because he lost the woman he fell in love with and the mother of his child. So they get to connect not only on the level of what they mean to each other but there's also an element of grief and anger. So we're definitely going to see the relationship deepen and grow."
Jack has had his troubles accepting Emily and her plan for revenge, too. At the end of season 3, he did seem to be coming around, though. Will he be ready to swoop in and comfort the grieving Emily? Based on what Nayar and Wechsler had to say, it seems that may just be what will happen. "Revenge" will return to ABC in the fall with season 4.

Rare Anthrax Case in Minnesota Triggers Terrorist Act Scare
by Thilaka Ravi on August 10, 2011 at 7:48 AM General Health News - G J E 4
An affected person traveling through the Western states was hospitalized and Minnesota health officials said Tuesday they are investigating a rare case of anthrax inhalation linked to exposure to the dreaded bacteria in the natural environment.
The FBI briefly investigated the case because anthrax has been used in terror attacks. But the bureau determined there was "no evidence suggesting it was a criminal or terrorist act," the Minnesota Health Department said in a statement.
AdvertisementThere was also no significant threat to the general public, officials said.
"All evidence points to this case of anthrax being caused by exposure to naturally occurring anthrax in the environment," said Minnesota state epidemiologist Ruth Lynfield.
"Anthrax is not spread from person to person, and it is extremely rare for humans to become sickened with anthrax, especially through inhalation."
Hooved animals are regularly infected by the anthrax bacteria in many parts of the United States.
People can become sickened by anthrax if they handle infected animal carcasses, ingest contaminated soil or meat from infected animals, or handle contaminated wool or hides from infected animals.
The affected individual was hospitalized after traveling through western states -- including North Dakota, Montana, Wyoming and South Dakota -- and coming into contact with soil and animal remains.
