KAZEN, Russia – Despite 27 points from Luke Hancock (Louisville/Roanoke, Va.), the 2013 USA Basketball Men's World University Games Team (3-2) fell to Canada (5-0) 94-85 in its final preliminary-round game on Friday afternoon at Basket Hall 1 in Kazan, Russia.
The loss dropped the USA to No. 3 in Group C, meaning the USA will not advance to the medal quarterfinals and will now compete for ninth place. The USA will play the No. 4 seed out of Group D, which will be decided following this evening's games, at 10 a.m. (all times listed are local, Kazan is +8 hours from EDT) on July 14.
The replay of the USA/Canada game will be shown on ESPNU today (July 12 - 5 p.m.) and Saturday (July 13, 1:30 a.m.).
"Canada certainly is a very good team," said USA head coach Bob McKillop (Davidson College). "They look like a team, they played like a team. Our guys emptied their gas tanks. They gave a great effort, but we fell short."
Fairly even in most statistical categories, the biggest differences were Canada's 52 points in the paint, compared to the USA's 22 scored from the key, and 17 U.S. turnovers as opposed to Canada's 12.
In addition to Hancock's 27 points, Doug McDermott (Creighton/Ames, Iowa) added 17 points and nine rebounds, Cory Jefferson (Baylor/Killeen, Texas) finished with 17 points and seven boards.
CU's Spencer Dinwiddie (Woodland Hills, Calif.) dished out a game-high eight assists for the second time in the tournament. He also had five points, four rebounds and two steals.
After five games, the CU junior-to-be leads the team in assists (27, 5.4 apg.) and is tied for the team lead in steals (7). Dinwiddie, the lone Pac-12 Conference player on the roster is averaging 8.2 points and 3.2 rebounds per game.
"We didn't defend well enough to win the game," Hancock said. "That's as simple as it gets. If you give up that many points, it's going to be hard to win games no matter what you do."
Eight points from Hancock and four from Jefferson helped the USA jump out to a 14-4 lead just five minutes into the game, but two 3-pointers from Canada and a score from the field helped Canada fight its way back to within two points 14-12 at 2:20. After a 3-pointer from Jefferson, Canada closed the first period on a 6-0 run to take an 18-17 advantage into the first intermission.
Canada scored first in the second quarter, but the USA battled to remain within one point for the first four minutes, trailing 25-24 after Yogi Ferrell (Indiana/Indianapolis, Ind.) made two free throws at 6:01. Canada compiled its largest fun of the game from 5:57 to 4:44, jumping ahead 35-24.
Despite three 3-pointers from the USA over last three minutes of the second quarter, Canada connected from deep and converted a three-point play to help maintain a 10-point lead, and the scoreboard read 46-36 at halftime.
Three times in the first 4:29 of the third quarter, the USA cut into the margin to pull within six points, thanks in part to eight points from McDermott during that stretch. The last time was at 5:31 after two made free throws from Jefferson, when the USA trailed 54-48.
Six unanswered points from Canada from there, however, were the start of a 15-5 run that gave Canada its largest lead of the game thus far at 16 points, 69-53, with 43.4 seconds remaining in the third. Jefferson scored from the field at 19.0 seconds and Graham sank a running 3-pointer from nearly half court at the buzzer to head into the final 10 minutes with the USA behind 69-58.
The Canadian lead jumped back to 16 points at 9:20 after a three from Brady Heslip, who led Canada with 20 points, but the USA never quit fighting. Sinking six 3-pointers in the period, the USA twice pulled within eight points over the next five minutes – 80-72 after a three from Sean Kilpatrick (Cincinnati/Yonkers, N.Y.) at 5:46 and 83-75 at 4:58 when Hancock connected from deep. Each time, Canada responded.
Down by 13 at 2:05, Hancock made another 3-pointer before sinking one-of-two free throws at 1:27 and scoring a layup at 1:07 to bring the USA within seven points, 92-85. As the USA missed its last three shot attempts, a fast-break score from Canada at 1:01 put the game's final points on the board.
The game did not end simply, however, as the power in the arena went out at 10.6 seconds, and after a wait of approximately five minutes, the USA inbounded the ball in a darkened arena and dribbled out the clock.
"You have to give a lot of credit to Canada," Tyler Haws (BYU/Alpine, Utah) said. "They hit big shot after big shot and had lots of threes. We probably could have done a few things better defensively, and we could have finished around the basket maybe a little bit better, but you have to give them credit. They are a good team."
Earlier today in the USA's Group C, Australia (4-1) downed United Arab Emirates (0-5) 131-43, finishing as the No. 2 and No. 6 seeds, respectively; while Czech Republic (2-3) topped Sweden (1-4) 65-63 to finish No. 5 and No. 5. In Group A, Ukraine (1-4) beat Oman (0-5) 99-35, taking the No. 5 and No. 6 seeds; and Estonia (4-1) beat South Korea (2-3), which finished No. 4, 68-61. In Group B, Mongolia (2-3) edged Japan (1-4) 75-72; and in Group D, Lithuania (5-0) finished as a No. 1 seed after beating Finland (2-3) 70-51.
The remaining seeding will be determined by tonight's games, including China (0-4) versus Chile (0-4) and Serbia (4-0) against Romania (4-0) at 6 p.m.; Mexico (2-2) versus Philippines (0-4) and Brazil (2-1) against Norway (2-2) at 8:30 p.m.; and host Russia (4-0) facing off against Germany (3-1) at 9 p.m.
The first and second-placed teams in each of the four pools advance to the medal quarterfinals on July 14 to compete for first through eighth places; while the remaining teams will play out for ninth to 24th places. The semifinals will be played on July 15, and the finals will be contested on July 16.
Assisting McKillop on the USA sideline are John Beilein of the University of Michigan and Frank Martin of the University of South Carolina.
The USA currently holds a 140-11 all-time record in World University Games play.

Louvre Heads to Abu Dhabi
Hot on the trail of Guggenheim, which last year announced ambitious plans for a new museum in the capital city of the United Arab Emirates, designed by celebrity architect Frank Gehry. As reported by the New York Times, the French government recently confirmed that it will rent the Louvre name and art treasures to a new museum in Abu Dhabi, for a sum rumored to be between $800 million to $1 billion. The new Louvre will be one of five museums slated for the tourist development on Saadiyat Island, opening in 2012. The new museum will be managed by a new International Agency of French Museums, which will also manage the Musée d'Orsay, the new Musée du Quai Branly, the Château de Versailles, and the Pompidou Center. This is a monumental decision, and signifies a serious directional change in the marketing of the oldest and most famous art museum in the world. Is Chirac selling out?

For the second week in a row President Barack Obama dedicated his weekly address released Saturday morning, Feb. 22, 2014 to raising the minimum wage, and urging Congress to pass legislation to that would lift the wage up from $7.25 to $10.10 for all American workers by 2016. President Obama has renewed advocating raising the minimum since his State of the Union address when he announced his economic opportunity program. He followed through by raising the minimum wage for federal contractors through an executive order on Wednesday afternoon, Feb. 12.
President Obama began his weekly address entitled "Time to Lift the Minimum Wage and Give America a Raise" explaining the mission of his economic opportunity program. The president introduced; "Restoring the idea of opportunity for all requires a year of action from all of us. Wherever I can act on my own, I will - and whenever I can ask more Americans to help, I'll do that too." The economic opportunity program has four parts, creating good paying jobs, technical job training programs, education initiatives from Pre-K to college, and raising the minimum wage.
Revisiting his State of the Union delivered a month ago, Tuesday, Jan. 28, the president recounted both the strides and set backs of the economic recovery; "I asked more business leaders to take action to raise their employees' wages. Because even though our economy is growing, and our businesses have created about eight and a half million new jobs over the past four years, average wages have barely budged."
Speaking at the North American Leaders Summit in Toluca, Mexico on Wednesday, Feb. 19, Obama praised the clothing store the Gap for raising the starting wage they pay their employees; "I applaud Gap Inc. for announcing that they intend to raise wages for their employees beginning this year - a decision that will benefit about 65,000 workers in the U.S." Gap is raising their wages from "$9 per hour in 2014" to "$10 per hour in 2015" at all their six different store chains.
The president again commended Gap for their decision to raise their wages in his weekly address; "earlier this week, one of America's largest retailers, The Gap, decided to raise wages for its employees beginning this year. Their decision will benefit about 65,000 workers in the U.S. That means more families will be able to raise their kids, finish their studies, or keep up on their bills with a little less financial stress and strain."
President Obama has been highlighting companies and employers that choose to pay the employees more than the legal minimum wage. When Obama went on his post State of the Union economic opportunity tour, he chose to speak at Costco, another store that pays more than the minimum wage to their employees; at Costco their starting pay is $11.50 an hour, the average is $20.
The president has been rationalizing the need to raise the national minimum wage by arguing that it is beneficial to the economy; "raising Americans' wages isn't just a good deed; it's good business and good for our economy. It helps reduce turnover, it boosts productivity, and it gives folks some more money to spend at local businesses."
This past week on Tuesday, Feb. 18 however, the non-partisan Congressional Budget Office (CBO) released a report of the affect of raising the minimum wage that does not appear as optimistic about the ramifications of raising the minimum wage. The report determined that 16.5 million Americans would see a bump in their wages from a nationwide raise, with 900,000 Americans lifted above the poverty level however, jobs would be cut to 500,000 workers or 0.3 percent, a no win situation. The CBO concluded; "The increase in the minimum wage would have two principal effects on low-wage workers: The large majority would have higher wages and family income, but a much smaller group would be jobless and have much lower family income."
The CBO report also stated the numbers could vary with more or less jobs lost as a result of the raise; "As with any such estimates, however, the actual losses could be smaller or larger; in CBO's assessment, there is about a two-thirds chance that the effect would be in the range between a very slight reduction in employment and a reduction in employment of 1.0 million workers."
Speaker of the House John Boehner, R-OH has been emphasizing all along through the debate that jobs would be lost from raising the minimum wage. The speaker's spokesman Brendan Buck issued a statement by email after the CBO report was released; "This report confirms what we've long known: while helping some, mandating higher wages has real costs, including fewer people working. With unemployment Americans' top concern, our focus should be creating - not destroying - jobs for those who need them most."
Democrats are skeptical about the CBO's findings, stating economist have determined that no jobs would be lost in the process. House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, D-CA stated; "[CBO's] conclusions contradict the consensus among hundreds of America's top economists. What's more, in past years, the CBO itself has acknowledged the uncertainty of its own predictions and ignored new perspectives in the wide array of analysis on the minimum wage."
The CBO looked at two different scenarios for the analysis, raising the minimum wage from $7.25 to $9 with two raises in 2015 and 2016 without accounting for inflation, and looking at a raise from $7.25 to $10.10 over three years, reaching the maximum in 2016 while be "indexed for inflation."
President Obama made his own attempt to remedy the situation by signing an executive order on Feb. 12 raising the minimum wage for new contracts for federal workers from $7.25 where it has been since 2009 to $10.10 at an event in the White House's East Room where he was surrounded by workers who would benefit from a raise in the minimum wage.
Obama again mentioned that executive order in his weekly address; "And as a chief executive myself, that's why I took action last week to lift more workers' wages by requiring federal contractors to pay their employees a fair wage of at least $10.10 an hour." The President's order will only benefit approximately 2 million workers taking effect on Jan. 1, 2015 and specifically for new and replacement contracts.
This past Friday, Feb 21 the president also spoke to the Democratic governors at the White House prior to the annual National Governors Association meeting in Washington this weekend. Obama along with Vice President Joe Biden spoke to the Democratic Governors Association about economic policy.
Obama also discussed another way to raise the minimum wage for many Americans through bypassing a reluctant Republican Congress. President Obama is convincing the democratic governors to raise the minimum wages in their states. The president told the governors; "This is not just good policy. It also happens to be good politics. Because the truth of the matter is the overwhelming majority of Americans think that raising the minimum wage is a good idea."
New Jersey raised their minimum wage this past year through a public referendum and despite their Republican Gov. Chris Christie's objection. Obama was not shy mincing words about Christie's opposition; "For example, in New Jersey, even though the Republican governor opposed it, it passed by 60 percent." At the Democratic governors' campaign committee dinner on Thursday evening, Feb. 20 Obama criticized Christie, but praised California Jerry Brown for being the first governor to raise the minimum to $10.
The president mentioned in his weekly address that after he called for a raise in the minimum wage in 2013 State of the Union, six states raised the minimum wage within their states. So far six states have raised the minimum wage including; "California, Connecticut, New Jersey, New York and Rhode Island," and 14 others are considering do the same. Obama recounted; "In the year since I first asked Congress to raise the minimum wage, six states have passed laws to raise theirs, and more states are working on it as we speak." The state raises will help Americans, but according to the president it is not a complete solution to the problem.
Obama acknowledged the limits to raising the minimum wage without Congress, who are the only legislative body that can universally raise wages, stating; "But only Congress can finish the job and lift Americans' wages across the country." Continuing the president again reminded Americans that there is bill to raise the minimum wage languishing in Congress; "Right now, there's a bill before Congress that would boost America's minimum wage to $10.10 an hour. That's easy to remember - "ten-ten." That bill would lift wages for more than 16 million Americans without requiring a single dollar in new taxes or spending."
The bill proposed to raise the minimum wage was sponsored by two Democrats, Iowa Senator Tom Harkin and California Representative George Miller.Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-NV has promised the President that he will put raising the minimum wage to a vote in March. The bill would face opposition in the Republican House of Representative from the Speaker John Boehner, R-OH who has numerous times stated that raising the minimum wage will result in less jobs for the lower income bracket.
President Obama attacked the Republican Congress for their unwillingness to raise the minimum wage, despite broad support throughout the country for this legislation. Obama chastised; "But even though a majority of Democrats, Independents, and Republicans across the country support raising the minimum wage, Republicans in Congress don't want to give it a vote."
According the White House the president's plan for increasing the minimum wage in "three steps" which would raised the minimum wage to $10.10 by 2016, and would raise tax credits, and have legislation indexing the minimum wage so it will automatically be raised to meet inflation and the rise in cost of living.
The executive order President Obama signed also raises the minimum wage for tipped workers from $2.13 an hour to $4.90, with a raise each year of 95 cents until as the White House Fact Sheet explains; "it reaches 70 percent of the regular minimum wage" and if it the tips do not cover the regular minimum wage, "the employer will be required to pay the difference."
The executive order also ensures that all contract workers with disabilities are all guaranteed the new minimum wage and cannot be paid less effectively obliterating a 1938 law where as USA Today explained "employers could pay certain disabled workers subminimum wages." As the President declared; "This principle doesn't apply to some of us. It applies to all of us."
The president concluded his weekly address urging Congress to raise the minimum wage, and the American public to press Congress for action; "Hardworking Americans deserve better than "no." Let's tell Congress to say "yes." Pass that bill. Give America a raise. Because here in America, no one who works hard should have to live in poverty - and everyone who works hard should have a chance to get ahead."

The effect of mussel seed density on tunicate ...
|The effect of mussel seed density on tunicate settlement and growth for the cultured mussel, Mytilus edulis
|Aaron Ramsay, Jeffrey Davidson, Thomas Landry, Henrik Strylin
|Start page
|End page
|Anecdotal reports from mussel growers suggest that increased stocking density decreases the settlement and growth of the fouling organisms Styela clava (clubbed tunicate) and Ciona intestinalis (vase tunicate). To evaluate this hypothesis, 15 mussel socks of low (90 mussels per 30 cm), medium (250 mussels per 30 cm) and high (500 mussels per 30 cm) densities were placed on three longlines in the Brudenell estuary in the fall 2005 and in the spring 2006. Sampling was conducted in June, August and October of 2006 to determine the effect of different stocking densities and socking time on mussel productivity and C intestinalis recruitment and growth. Mussel Condition Index and shell length were not significantly different between the three stocking densities by the end of the field trial in October. In August, the mean length of C. intestinalis was significantly lower on the medium and high density socks and C. intestinalis weight was less on medium and high density socks from the fall socking period (no difference within spring socked densities), however, by the October sampling there was no biologically significant difference in the weight of C intestinalis between stocking density treatments. Time of socking did not appear to have any significant effect on the results, although the abundance of C intestinalis was marginally higher in August on the socks deployed in December, 2005. Mussel loss was between 50 and 60% for all treatments, with no clear pattern being evident. (c) 2008 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

ALBANY, N.Y. - Stanford fought hard, but in the end could not finish off a highly competitive game, losing 11-9, at Albany. The loss drops Stanford to 2-7 and completes a 0-3 East Coast road trip.
The Cardinal fell behind in the first half, but fought back to make it 5-5 at halftime. Emily Newstrom actually scored first to put Stanford up 1-0, but Albany responded with four-straight goals to build a commanding lead. However, Newstrom finished a first half hat trick and Emilie Boeri added two goals to bring Stanford back to the tie at half.
Albany outshot Stanford 15-9 in the half, but Lyndsey Munoz made six saves to help keep Stanford close.
In the second half, the Great Danes stated fast with two quick goals. Hannah Farr brought Stanford back to within one and after an Albany goal, Kyle Fraser and Emilie Boeri scored to even the score at 8-8.
The resilient Cardinal could not get over the hump, however. Albany retook the lead and Boeri again tied it with her fourth goal of the game. From there, Albany score the final two goals, holding Stanford scoreless for the last 9:22 of the game.
The Cardinal was outshot 29-18 for the game and won just nine of 22 draw controls. Munoz was the key in net, making nine saves to keep things close.
Boeri continued her prolific scoring, now with 21 goals on the season. She also leads the team with 13 assists for 34 points. Anna Boeri added two assists on Friday and now has seven on the season.
The game completes Stanford's difficult non-conference schedule. The win-loss record was not what the young team wanted, but it should be battled tested as it enters MPSF play.
Stanford next takes on Fresno State on Tuesday, April 3, before going to Denver to face a 7-1 Pioneers team that will have major MPSF title implications. The Denver game is Saturday, April 7.

A horrific I-25 accident has left at least one person dead and several more injured Saturday when under heavy snow conditions, dozens of vehicles collided in Denver, Colorado, officials said. According to an updated report from the Denver Channel on March 1, the I-25 accident, which reportedly involved 104 cars, caused nightmarish traffic conditions and vehicles were virtually at a standstill for more than a mile.
Police say the I-25 accident happened around 11 a.m. and officials believe icy road conditions and fog were a major factor in the deadly pile-up, which closed I-25 for almost five hours.
Driver Carlos Davila, who was involved in the I-25 accident, spoke to news sources about what he witnessed at the time of the incident and he said...."It was pretty quick. It was pretty fast. I saw red lights, next thing you know I'm under somebody else's car," Davila expressed.
The I-25 accident prompted a tremendous response from Denver fire personnel and paramedics. Thirty people were transported to nearby hospitals for injuries they sustained from the accident.
"This is a very difficult scene, it's scattered over a long distance under difficult conditions and we're doing everything we can to get people safe, get them transported and those who didn't have injuries, keep them warm and dry," Denver Health chief paramedic Scott Bookman said.
Medical Center Denver Health reported that many patients had arrived, and local television said that drivers and passengers who were not injured were evacuated from the area on buses.
Hours before the I-25 accident, state authorities had closed the flow channels on Interstate 70 westbound due to hazardous road conditions.
Dead man wakes up: Man 'resurrected' after being pronounced dead at home
The Avalanche Information Center Colorado indicated that at ten o'clock (local time), some areas of Denver had accumulated between 25 and 29 inches of snow.
Driving conditions in Denver are still hazardous and most roads remain icy and snow packed. North Denver News reports that CDOT remains on full snow shift with nearly one hundred snow plows and four large tankers clearing the roadways of snow and ice. Authorities are insisting that motorists avoid roadways unless absolutely necessary. As of the time of this report, crews are working diligently to clean up debris from the I-25 accident.

The Bald Soprano
by Eugene Ionesco
The Bald Soprano Time Quotes
How we cite our quotes: Citations follow this format: (Line). Every time a character talks counts as one line, even if what they say turns into a long monologue. We used Donald M. Allen's translation.
Quote #1
The play continues to distort time with this first line. After the clock has already struck 17 times, Mrs. Smith declares that it's "nine o'clock." So, which is it? 17 o'clock or 9 o'clock? Is it just a really junky clock? Is Mrs. Smith just really confused? Or does she live in a world where time is so distorted that it doesn't even exist?
Mrs. Smith: "We shall have to go to go to their [the Watsons] wedding is suppose. […] How sad for her [Mrs. Watson] to be left a widow so young." (46-49)
Quote #2
The Smiths seem very confused about whether the Watsons are alive or dead or married or unmarried. Of course, maybe they're not confused at all. Perhaps, all of these things are true, were true, or will be in the future. In world of The Bald Soprano, time is so jumbled that it's practically nonexistent. To the Smiths, it could make sense that lots of different periods of time all exist in exactly the same moment.
Stage Direction: [The clock strikes as much as it likes.] (139)
Quote #3
Here's that crazy clock again. It's been striking willy-nilly all throughout the play, but now it's just doing whatever it wants. It seems like time has gone totally haywire by this point in the play. This is yet another clue that the idea of a linear progression of time just doesn't apply to the world of The Bald Soprano.
Stage Direction: [The striking of the clock underlines the speeches, more or less strongly, according to the case.] (143)

Barnsley under 18s extended their club record to sixth successive wins and consolidated their position in the play-off spots with a 4-2 home win over Crewe Alexandra on Saturday.
After trailing 1-0 at the break, the young Reds levelled on 55 minutes through Nana Boakye-Yiadom who acrobatically turned in George Smith's cross.
George Maris got his first eight minutes later following a goalmouth scramble. Maris then scored the goal of the game when he finished off a superb 12-pass move with a nice right-foot shot from ten yards. Crewe made it 3-2 but Maris completed his hat-trick when he fired into an open net after a good run down the right wing and pull-back by Dominic McHale.
Coach Mark Burton said: "It was a good performance and nice to pay Crewe back for beating the lads 5-1 earlier in the season. The pitch was very heavy and it was a windy day but it was testament to the lads' commitment to attractive, one-touch football that they still played some great stuff. The third goal would have been raved about if it had been on Match Of The Day.
"Our main aim is to get players signed on professional contracts but we want to do that in tandem with playing well and winning matches. The lads are very excited about being second in the league and it would be a great experience for them to make the play-offs."

Washington Post TV critic Tom Shales claims NBC's "'Saturday Night Live' in the 80s: Lost and Found" is a "rip-off" of his book.
Shales said an invitation to participate in the special was merely "a sneaky way to diffuse me."
Calling NBC "cheap and chintzy," Shales accused the producers of buying his book for $24.95 instead of paying $50,000 for the broadcast rights.
"(NBC President) Jeff Zucker is not my new best friend," he said.
A network spokesman answered the charge, saying "no one is the author of history."
There could be some legal action down the line, the Post said.
"I guess this is crybaby stuff, but when you punch a baby in the mouth, it cries," Shales said.

TC TO WILLIAM WHITE ; 22 March 1852; DOI: 10.1215/lt-18520322-TC-WW-01; CL 27: 73-75
Chelsea, 22 March, 1852—
Dear Sir,
Accept my acknowledgements for the kind Gift you have been pleased to send me: two of the prettiest volumes I have seen for a long time;1 and arriving as if from the skies, without merit of mine;—surely I must welcome such a Gift, and am much obliged by all the honour you do me.
Of the Shelley business I had heard nothing except vague distant rumour, till your Pamphlet2 set it in a clear light for me. The silly writer in the Athenaeum seems to me to have been only hunting for a joke (in the way of duty, poor soul) when he made that ill-mannered allusion to Curll: nor had I gathered from the Newspaper paragraph, which was all I knew of him or it, that even he intended to convey any imputation against your procedure in the business, or fix the smallest shadow of suspicion on you:3 but certainly, if he did, it is now annihilated, and the whole matter, down to the bottom of it, is rendered transparent for those who have curiosity in such things. The ambiguous "Mr Byron," of whom I had heard nothing for several years, proves to be a very singular fellow; and has struck out a filial relation of the most unexampled kind!4 We will thank him for Browning's Essay,—till the Treadmill or Gallows have time to do its duty:—that is likely to be all the benefit we reap from your and other people's troubles and losses by him. The Letters themselves, if never so genuine, seemed to me intrinsically to have no value whatever.
All you say of the condition of Periodical Criticism, and the thing men worship in these times by the name of "The Press," I believe to be too true: indeed there are many reasons in the nature of things why this department of our affairs must, as it expands rapidly in superficies, dwindle about as rapidly in depth and in every sort of worth,—why, in short, the "Printed Talk" of the Public should sink daily more and more to the level of its spoken Talk, the proper definition of which has never been very high! As time is precious, and as Ragfair or the Knackers yard is not the eligible place to loiter in, I suppose there are many serious persons who have fallen on the one course open in regard to all that, namely the negative one, to read next to nothing of it,—which plan, I confess, is mine, this long while back!—
Your object in this new Periodical is beyond question laudable; and, perhaps nobody alive would rejoice more to see it effectuated than myself: but of that result, I must frankly own to you, I can be by no means sanguine; nor in fact, without immense expenditures of labour, money-capital, patience, talent, and every species of human virtue and acquirement, is success so much as conceivable to me. And for myself,—in spite of the great honour you do me, of which you may be assured I am very sensible,—it is at once clear that I cannot undertake any active function in the business, nor indeed, except by wishes which are good for nothing, assist you in it at all. This is the sad truth, essentially and even vitally coherent with my actual way of life; and I owe it to your frankness, and to my respect for Mr Costello5 and the other Gentlemen, to say so with all distinctness and without any delay.
If, on those terms, you care to walk so far as Chelsea for the purpose of talking farther to me on this subject (which, however, I should rather, in prudence, advise you to abandon), you may find me accessible almost any day from half past 2 to 3 p.m.,—and tho', alas, I cannot promise you the smallest useful counsel or practical furtherance, you shall decidedly have my regret for the want of it.
With many thanks and regards in the meanwhile
I remain / Yours very sincerely
T. Carlyle

Recent reviews have focused on 1980s films that speculated on the role newly generated technologies would take in the world and what fates would await humans if artificial intelligence gained too much power. The line between games and reality was the subject of "WarGames," and it also undergirds "Tron" from 1982.
In "Tron," Jeff Bridges plays Kevin Flynn, who runs an arcade. The somewhat bitter game enthusiast used to work as a computer engineer for ENCOM, a software company. One of his co-workers, Bob Dillinger (played by David Warner), took credit for the video games he created and leveraged their popularity to work his way up the corporate ladder. Kevin, of course, wants to prove the games were his design. One evening, he and some friends break into the ENCOM building. As he is working at a computer there, he gets transported into the world of a computer game. Here, Kevin struggles to stay alive as he tries to find a way to get out. He is pursued by SARK (also played by Warner), who has to kill him. As he is in the game, Kevin is assisted by Tron, whose real world counterpart is his friend, Alan (played by Bruce Boxleitner).
"Tron" has a timeless story. It is similar to "The Wizard of Oz" as Kevin finds that his friends and enemies in the real world are also his friends and enemies in the game.
The special effects are very impressive. Although the look is dated, it still works quite well. The game world has a lot of color, yet it is also quite dark. There are several good action scenes in the film when Kevin finds himself in situations similar to ones in video games.
Jeff Bridges is strong in the lead role. He makes his character someone who is easy to root for since his ideas were stolen. David Warner is very well cast as the film's villain.
"Tron" is a great choice for fans of classic science fiction.

Head's up! There's a new artist market in town! The Burren in Davis Square, Somerville (247 Elm Street) has started a bi-weekly show: Saturday Local Artist Market (S.L.A.M.). Be there this coming Saturday, February 13th, 12-4pm, to find the perfect last minute Valentine's Day gifts and cards for your sweetheart, and support your local artist community too.
One-of-a-kind valentine by Reclaimed To You
The Burren is an Irish pub first opened in 1996 by a pair of young musicians. Hosting an artist market seems like a natural extension of the establishment's support of the arts and local culture.
About the show, organizer Mary Keane says, "The Saturday Local Artist Market (S.L.A.M.), offers local artists a place to show and sell their work as well as an opportunity for the public to find a wide variety of art and handmade goods in one location." In addition to the artist market there will be live music and $5 lunch specials too. Yumm.
This coming Saturday will be the second event hosted by The Burren, and as with each bi-weekly display, S.L.A.M. will be showcasing work in a variety of media including painting, photography, jewelry, book binding, handmade soaps, glass, textiles, ceramics. This Saturday will have the addition of a special Valentine's Day feature with many exhibitors displaying holiday themed items including art, paper goods, and jewelry especially for your valentine.

beef chili + sour cream and cheddar biscuits
Abruptly, and likely surprising nobody more than my husband, I have decided to be a Good Football Wife this year. Finding it impossible to summon any actual enthusiasm for the game but refusing to fulfill the sitcom wife-cliché of grumbling about my husband's Sunday afternoon routines, in the past, I've mostly tolerated it. But with months of cold and/or wet Sundays ahead of us, I finally came to the realization that football season is the perfect excuse to embrace some much-needed Lazy Sundays. A morning bagel, park and farmers market run routine segues nicely into an afternoon of bumming around, or you know, however the person at hand defines it. For Alex, football, with the requisite pre- and post-game Sports Shouting episodes. For Jacob, removing books from the bookcases one by one, then attempting to stand on them to reach higher shelves, so he can remove them too. He naps, we replace the books, he wakes up and starts again. Ah, Sundays.

College Hockey:Blackwell leads Harvard's 'crazy game' comeback over New Hampshire
BOSTON — Highly-touted Harvard rookie Colin Blackwell scored two third-period goals, including the go-ahead goal with 7:58 remaining, as the Crimson overcame an early four-goal deficit to defeat New Hampshire, 7-6, in front of 2,016 at Harvard's Bright Hockey Center Tuesday night.
Harvard spotted the Wildcats a 4-0 lead in the game's first 12 minutes, scored four goals in the second to pull within a goal at 5-4, then let Blackwell play the role of hero.
He evened the game poking home the rebound of Ryan Grimshaw's shot from the point at 6:51. With the Crimson buzzing, Blackwell then got his stick on Danny Fick's shot from the left point, redirecting it over UNH netminder Matt DiGirolamo's (23 saves) glove to put Harvard in the lead for the first time.
"When you get those opportunities, you have to bear down," said Blackwell. "You only get so many chances in the game, so when you get that opportunity, you've got to take that opportunity and bury it."
Harvard's David Valek scored into the empty net with 1:25 remaining and New Hampshire's Stevie Moses netted an inconsequential goal with three seconds remaining for the 7-6 final.
The 13-goal combined outburst was one for the stat books. A total of 21 players – 13 for Harvard, eight for UNH – recorded points. Two players for each team – Alex Killorn and Blackwell for Harvard and Kevin Goumas and Grayson Downing for UNH – each recorded two goals. Additionally, five players from each side had multi-point games.
"It was quite a crazy game," said Harvard head coach Ted Donato. "Every puck that went towards the net had a chance to go in there for a while.
"Being down 4-0 after the first, I just talked about giving ourselves a chance to be able to hold our heads high walking out of here. I'm just really proud of the way the guys persevered."
The Wildcats dominated the first period from the opening faceoff, scoring four times, including three in the first 8:18, to take a commanding lead.
Downing opened the scoring at 1:23 with his third goal of the season followed by Goumas pushing starting Harvard starting goalie Raphael Girard (four saves) from the game with a goal at 5:20. Downing tallied his second of the game at 8:18 before rookie blueliner Trevor van Riemsdyk floated a wrist shot from the left point at 11:56 that backup netminder Steve Michalek (24 saves) fanned on to open UNH's four-goal advantage.
In the second, though, Harvard came alive. The Crimson cut into the lead with two early goals from Alex Killorn on the power play at 6:50 and Eric Kroshus at 8:21.
"We came into the first intermission and a couple of guys had their heads down," said Blackwell. "The older guys brought us together as a team and said it can't get any worse than this. Once we got that first one, the floodgates started opening."
New Hampshire took back momentum, scoring shorthanded on a Goumas bomb off the right post at 14:14. And at 17:33, it appeared Moses buried a back breaker pushing the puck through Michalek's pads on the breakaway. The referees, though, viewed the replay and ruled that the net had come off its moorings prior to the puck entering the net, negating the goal.
Harvard used that play to turn the momentum its way and in the final two minutes scored twice to cut the lead to a single goal heading to the third. Alex Fallstrom one-timed a Killorn pass at 18:00 and then returned the favor, setting up a Killorn redirect at 19:55 to close the deficit to 5-4.
That set up the wild third period and allowed the Crimson (3-3-1, 2-3-1 ECAC) to win its second game against the Wildcats in its last eight tries.
Harvard's jubilation is countered with disappointment for UNH (5-6-2, 4-4-1 Hockey East), which obviously let what should have been an easy win slip away.
"We absolutely gave [the game] away," said UNH head coach Dick Umile. "We get a 4-0 lead and start going through the motions. We thought it would be an easy night. It's pathetic."

"Live Free or Die" receives top jury prize at SXSW Film Festival
(Concord, NH) – The New Hampshire Film and Television Office is proud to announce that the film "Live Free or Die" has received the top jury prize at the 2006 South by Southwest (SXSW) Film Festival in Austin, TX.
"Live Free or Die", an offbeat comedy written and directed by former "Seinfeld" writers Andy Robin and Gregg Kavet, stars Aaron Stanford, Paul Schneider, Zooey Deschanel, Michael Rapaport and Judah Friedlander and tells the story of a would-be criminal struggling to escape the dreariness of a northern New Hampshire town. The movie was filmed in Claremont, NH in November 2004 with additional footage having been shot in July 2005.
"We were caught off guard by the win," says John Limotte, the film's producer. "We think of this as an audience film, so to be awarded a prize by a panel of critics and filmmakers is a great honor."
"It was great having the cast and crew from 'Live Free or Die' here," says Van McLeod, Commissioner of the Department of Cultural Resources. "They were very enthusiastic about filming in New Hampshire and we're just as excited that their film has received such recognition right out of the gate."
"This production really connected with Claremont," says Matthew Newton, Film Specialist managing of the New Hampshire Film and Television Office. "When they needed additional footage during the summer of 2005, they could have filmed it anywhere, but they liked Claremont so much that they brought members of the cast and crew back to New Hampshire."
"We received tremendous support in New Hampshire at every level, from locals in Claremont to the Governor's Office," says Limotte. "We hope to repay New Hampshire by getting the word out, that New Hampshire is a great place to make a movie."
"Live Free or Die" is currently working on getting distribution as it screens at various film festivals nationwide.
The New Hampshire Film and Television Office, as part of the New Hampshire Department of Cultural Resources, works to expand business activity and employment throughout the state by acting as a liaison between the film industry and an established network of government agencies, the state's film industry workforce, and local property owners. The office is responsible for location assistance, public relations, and general production support in an effort to broaden the cultural and economic impact of film and television production in the state.

A personal tragedy has struck the Rolling Stones, when fashion designer L'Wren Scott (who was also the girlfriend of Mick Jagger) was found dead in Manhattan on Monday, following what is being investigated as an apparent suicide. Police found her hanging, without a note or sings of foul play.
Jagger first began dating the fashion designer in 2001, whose Martin Scorsese-directed Stones' documentary Shine a Light she had designed for. A representative for the singer stated he is "completely shocked and devastated by the news". Meanwhile, he has posted a tribute to Scott on Facebook, and the Rolling Stones have cancelled the first date of their Australian tour.
In other music news, after months of legal wrangling, Beastie Boys Adam Horovitz and Mike Diamond reached a settlement with the toy company GoldieBlox. It was over a dispute made last year, over the company using the track "Girls", which later spawned accusations of copyright infringement, though it was claimed to be a parody. The settlement has now brought the legal battle to an end, and its terms are undisclosed.
Meanwhile, in an interview with Radio.com, Kiss musician Gene Simmons took aim at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, for their inclusion of rappers in their Cleveland-based museum. The bassist, along with Paul Stanley blasted the organization for inducting rap icons Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five, Run-DMC, Beastie Boys, and Public Enemy, stating they don't play instruments (though the Beastie Boys do), just "sample and talk". They also state their inductions were due to "backroom politics", and KISS should have been inducted years ago.
Earlier, Stanley and Simmons have already announced they are not performing at the induction ceremony in April.

Wow! What a great trip this turned out to be.
A couple of months ago, Steve Younis sent out a general request to the writing staff at the Superman Homepage to see if any of us lived near Orlando, Florida or were planning to attend the convention. I live in Northern California, quite a jaunt from the Sunshine state. But I knew I could make the time, so I volunteered. The primary purpose was for me to accept an award on behalf of the Superman Homepage in the category of "Best Fansite" from Project Fanboy's annual ceremony.
I stayed with my friend Billy Hogan, who I was lucky enough to meet in person for the first time. He and his wife picked me up at the airport, offered me a place to stay and Billy went with me each day to enjoy the con. He even agreed to take photos so visitors to the Superman Homepage could get a sense of the fun we had.
Friday was a short day for us. In my experience, the first days of these conventions are always sparse compared to Saturdays. The DC Panel was great fun. Dan Didio, who was just promoted from senior editor to co-publisher of the company, was in attendance, although he was not originally planning to be there. I sat in the first row directly in front of him and took my notes while recording the panel with a small cassette player.
During that hour, Dan Didio and I kept making mini comments back and forth at each other in a fun way. It was great to interact with those people. They have a lot of fun talking with fans and joking back and forth. Plus Dan kept accidentally releasing information that hasn't been solicited yet.
Saturday was the biggest day with the most people and the DC Nation Panel was outstanding. The theme of that panel was that DC can't please all the people all the time. As a comic book fan, I understand. Many readers have been following comics for years and years and have an expectation that the company can capture the same magic those readers felt when they were growing up in that universe. The industry has changed over the years and the stories have had to change with it. At least that's my unbiased interpretation.
Interacting with the cosplayers (costumed players) on Saturday was great fun. Megacon had a huge number of professional and semi-professional actors and costumers wearing original pieces they created themselves. They are very nice and I've even friended several of them on Facebook. I can't wait to see pictures from the next convention they attend.
On Sunday there was a "conversation with Dan Didio" panel. I had never attended one before because when I go to Wondercon in San Francisco, I usually leave on Saturday. Didio said that he could tell when a reader first started picking up comics based on which version of the Legion of Superheroes, The Flash or Green Lantern they preferred. This was completely interactive and he asked the crowd a lot of questions, treating it like a focus group. I was stunned that just about every person in the room had different answers for his questions. I thought, "No wonder people give a hard time to whoever's in the editor's chair."
Dan's final question for the group was, "If you were editor of DC Comics for one day, what would you do differently." Not all of the answers were necessarily valid, for instance one person said he would cut the price of comic books in half. Didio reminded the audience that DC was in the business to put out a successful product in order to make money, so those kinds of decisions would simply sink the company.
I was called upon for my answer, and I said, "Anybody who is consistently missing deadlines, I would fire."
So Dan came back to me and said, "What if Jim Lee came to me and said he wanted to do Justice League?" I said, "I would tell him to do it and I would solicit the material as soon as he was done." We went back and forth in this fashion for a few minutes, but in the end he said it's a tough position to be in, but that I was partly right.
I responded, "it's ok. I know I'm right," with a smile. As I do.
After that, I went to the Project Fanboy Awards. I received the award for the Superman Homepage and joked to the crowd that I might hold the award itself hostage from Steve Younis. It was quite an honor and I'm so glad I was able to attend. It means a lot that so many people like the work that Steve and the rest of us do on behalf of a character we love.
Finally, I stopped off to meet Billy Tucci, which was certainly a highlight of the weekend. Tucci was an incredibly nice guy who wanted to hear about the work I'm doing at the Superman Homepage and beyond. He told me about his new book, Sgt. Rock: The Lost Battalion and he sold me on the concept alone. I bought a copy of the hardcover, which he signed and sketched on the inside page. He said he plays comic book podcasts while he does his artwork, and he will take a listen to mine about Superman.
I got to meet Marv Wolfman, George Perez and Jimmy Palmiotti for the first times, and several others I had met before. The flight home was less pleasant than the flight out, but I ran into Justice Gray on the way in and Kristanna Loken was on the same flight as me. My trip connected through Washington/Dulles airport for several hours, so I had a chance to meet up with my mother for lunch. She lives about 20 miles from there.
Megacon 2010 was one of the best conventions I've ever been to. I'm so glad I went and hope I get a chance to go again. Until then I still have Wondercon coming up in a couple of weeks. Until then, stay tuned to the Superman Homepage.
Enjoy the pictures.

"Noah" is one of the first decent movies to come out this spring. It tells the familiar story of Noah and his Ark with an interesting Hollywood spin to it. Russell Crowe stars as Noah along with a notable cast that includes Jennifer Connelly, Ray Winstone, Emma Watson, Logan Lerman, Anthony Hopkins, and Douglas Booth. Darren Aronofsky ("Black Swan") directed the film. It's playing at the Bow Tie Cinemas in Hartford.
The tale of Noah is an old story and even the non-religious most likely have heard about the Ark and Noah saving two of each of Earth's animals before the Flood came to destroy the world. What is so great about "Noah" is that Aronofsky adds a human element to the story as Noah, his three sons, Shem, Ham, and Japheth, his wife (Connelly) and the orphan they take in (Emma Watson) all are developed into real and complicated individuals.
Logan Lerman, as Ham the middle son (though for some reason is completely removed from most of the advertising for the film), does a great job in demonstrating his hurt and anger when his father decides to let mankind die out after the Flood. Watson, Crowe, and Hopkins are also in fine form here. However, Jennifer Connelly, especially stands out as simply a mother who wants a future for her children. Her acting as her character, Naameh, desperately pleas with Noah to save their grandchildren, is a joy to watch.
However, the film is not without its faults. It drags out the story far too long and the ending is somewhat unsatisfying. Those without extensive Biblical knowledge may wonder what happens to Noah and his family and just how exactly they're able to repopulate the earth based on who's left alive in the end. Still, it's a pretty good film and worth a trip to the theatres.

|Aero India 2013 -- Aircraft/Aircraft Parts, Airport/Ground Support Eq., Aviation Services
|Event Summary:
India represents a large and growing annual market for air defense equipment, estimated at $3-4 billion EVERY YEAR. India is planning major procurements of military aviation hardware and is also upgrading its surveillance, defense and strike capabilities, in keeping with its expanding strategic role as a regional power. Expenditures are needed to keep pace with this growth. New product requirements and the replacement needs of the military aviation sector are expected to cost about $20 billion over the next 3-5 years.
Aero India is a premier aerospace exhibition, with eight successful editions organized between 1996 and now behind it. Organized by the Defense Exhibition Organization, Ministry of Defense, Government of India, the Aero India show has become India's premier trade show for the Aerospace and Defense sectors. The Aero India show in 2011 had participation from 29 countries with 675 companies (380 overseas + 295 domestic) and 47 overseas delegations were accommodated over a gross exhibition area of 75,000 square meter (including outdoor), which was nearly 57% more than the previous edition in 2009.
The ninth edition of Aero India will be held from 6 Feb to 10 Feb in 2013. Aero India 2013 will provide a significant platform to bolster business opportunities in the international aviation sector. It is favorably poised for exponential growth over the previous editions because of a rapidly growing economy, defense preparedness challenges and opening up of defense production to private sector.

Microsoft Puts LinkedIn, Netflix Into Hotmail
Microsoft is trying to make it easier to do things like respond to social-networking requests and make purchases without ever leaving your email.
The software giant is updating its Hotmail service to embed technology from websites including Netflix and LinkedIn, it announced Tuesday. The new partnerships are part of an effort called Active Views, which aims to keep people in their Hotmail window whenever they get an email with links to outside sites.
Microsoft announced Active Views late last year, with services that turned text links for video sites like YouTube and Hulu or photo sites like Flickr into videos and slideshows. Tuesday's announcement extends that technology to more types of businesses — including ones that rely heavily on email communication to get in touch with their customers.
The updates were reported earlier by technology blog ReadWriteWeb and others.
Microsoft believes the changes will make people much more likely to take action based on emails; instead of having to click on a link, open a separate tab and go through a log-in procedure, people will be able to handle things like invitations as they get the message.
"In traditional email with just a text link, the percentage of people clicking through is less than 10%. With Active Views, customers are clicking on the video control in about 25% of all email messages with a video," the company wrote in a blog post announcing the new partnerships.
LinkedIn also wrote a post about the benefits of the new service, saying it makes it "much easier to connect to people you may know or follow companies that you're interested in without leaving that email."
Users who get emails from Netflix will be able to update their movie selections from the email. Daily deals site LivingSocial will let people browse deals in real time from the message, and blogging site Posterous will enable comments on posts directly from the email.
Your Digits blogger can definitely see how this might be helpful for dealing with social-networking messages in particular. So the big question remains: When will Facebook be included? On that, Microsoft is still mum.
