College Hockey:Sarig creating slew of chances from Plymouth State blue line
Zach Sarig has unleashed his inner Fulton Reed.
Fulton is a character in the "Mighty Ducks" movie series known for his slap shot from the blue line.
Sarig is also a defenseman that has shown his offensive skills this season with six goals and six assists in just seven games.
The 6-foot-3, 230-pounder is coming off an eight-point freshman campaign and a 20-point sophomore season.
"I thought to myself my [defensive] partner Dave Walters and myself would really need to step it up," said Sarig of his hot start. "I am doing what I can for the team and hopefully, we can take it into the right direction."
In back-to-back games against Salem State and Fitchburg State on Nov. 12 and Nov. 14, Sarig scored in both games and left some carnage.
"In two of the home games last week, he actually put two pucks through the net," said Plymouth State coach Craig Russell. "I have never seen that happen once, but he did it on back-to-back nights."
Russell said he would like to put a radar gun on Sarig's shot. Sarig, on the other hand, said he had his shot clocked back in high school.
"I actually did a hardest shot competition when I was in high school and that was some quite some time ago," Sarig said. "I was clocked at 89 [mph] in my junior year in high school. I am pretty confident I can get it close to 100, if not over."
Sarig said it's a combination of things for him to unleash a shot that hard and said part of that is being stronger due to his gym rat mentality.
"Over the summer, I work out almost everyday [because] I like to be in shape," said Sarig. "It's not everyday you can put the puck over 100 miles-per-hour. I really work hard in the offseason putting on muscle."
He added that he doesn't have the best form in terms of a shooting technique, but he uses an extra stiff stick that adds to his shot.
Russell said Sarig is a leader on and off the ice.
"He just has that knack and obviously, he's on our power play, but we don't center our power play around him necessarily," Russell explained. "When he's out there, the guys want to give him the puck because he likes to shoot it. The other team knows it and Fitchburg started to shadow him a little bit on the power play."
Russell mentioned Sarig can locate his shot, but he also shoots the puck to create offensive chances for the forwards.
"He misses the net Because he's close to the net," Russell said. "He's not missing it by three feet wide, he's usually shooting from the middle of the ice when he does shoot. Those rebounds are coming off the glass or off the backboards back to the front. Because it isn't a shot on net it doesn't mean it's not going to create an opportunity for us."
The Plymouth State coaching staff has been working with Sarig on his defense and controlling his physical play for the last couple years. It has certainly has paid off as he only has had four penalty minutes so far in 2013-14.
"He wants the puck on his stick, he's a converted forward," Russell said. "He played forward a lot as a young kid. We made him a defenseman and that's partly why he has the offensive instincts that he's got. He needs to concentrate on taking care of his end first. He understands that and we have worked on that quite a bit and will continue to do that."

Top 10: Festivals Around The World
5. Henley-on-Todd Regatta, Alice Springs, Australia (October 7-8)
To overcome the challenge of holding a boat race in a dry riverbed, the residents of Alice Springs made a hole in the bottom of the boat, stood inside, lifted the vehicle to thigh-level (similar to women raising their skirts... hmm...) and ran to the finish line. Aided by industrious quantities of cold beer to fuel the crew and crowd alike, the event has grown to attract international teams. If you or your seven friends need any more convincing, keep in mind that American winter is Australian summer.
4. Mardi Gras, New Orleans, Louisiana
Spicy food, great blues, nonexistent drinking laws, and $2 drinks served 24 hours a day sounds pretty good to any partier. The climax, you guessed it: Mardi Gras, also known as the "International Show Your Boobies" event where you trade in beads for breasts. We could go on and on, but actions speak louder than words.
3. Carnival, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
Rio boasts some of the world's nicest beaches and finest ladies. Carnival week is second-to-none when it comes to partying. Some would even argue that their laws encourage boozing. Any way you look at it, like Mecca, every able-bodied male must make a trip to Rio at one point or another in his life.
2. Love Parade, Germany (July)
We may be biased since we have a liking for techno beats, but ever since the Berlin Wall came down, the streets of Berlin host the largest outdoor rave where 1.4 million horny and sweaty teens visit the city, and the police do not interfere. A valuable piece of advice; reserve if you are coming from abroad as you'll find a full house... or neighorbood!
1. Nudes-A-Poppin' Pageant, Ponderosa Sun Club, Indiana (July 16 & August 20)
Some argue that you should save the best for last. We agree. Whether you are a nudist or an eager beaver, the Ponderosa Sun Club is the place to be. A "clothing optional" resort, the website even reminds travelers that "no clothes are tolerated at the pool." The only other thing that is not tolerated is a camera. Besides that, however, anything goes at the Annual Nudes-A-Poppin' Pageant where the likes of Jenna Jameson and Ron Jeremy spice it up.

Do Trusts Pay Debt?
Posted 28 January 2013 - 07:22 AM
Posted 28 January 2013 - 09:13 AM
His intention is to deliberately not make a will.
Why? It's fine to make a trust and use that as your primary estate planning device. However, folks who do that typically also create a pourover will that leaves anything not already in the trust to the trust.
If he pays off the mortgage and the home becomes his free and clear, will putting the home in a trust prevent the credit card company from filing a claim with the trust for payment of the credit card debt?
We have no way of knowing what might motivate some unknown credit card company to take or not take a particular action. If your real question is whether putting the house in the trust will insulate it from the credit card debt, the answer is most likely no. However, it depends on the laws of the unidentified state in which the home is located and, if different, the state in which the man lives at the time of his death. It will also depend on the nature and specific terms of the trust.
Posted 28 January 2013 - 09:53 AM
Can't expect us to know what a creditor will or won't do, but if I were the creditor, I wouldn't decide let go that debt if there were assets to cover it.
I'll echo PG's advisory "warning" with a twist: (Many) legal issues are complicated. Explanations and comments here might not fully identify or explain the ramifications of your particular problem. I do not give legal advice as such (and such is impermissible here at any rate). Comments are based on personal knowledge and experience and legal info gleaned over a quarter century, and every state has differing laws on and avenues to address most topics. If you need legal advice, you need to consult (and pay) a professional so that you may have someone to hold accountable. Acting on personal and informational advice from a stranger on the internet is a bad idea -- at least not without your own thorough due dilience/research and confirmation as it applies to your situation.

Joe Jonas was set to join the cast of ABC's hit drama Brothers & Sisters. He was scheduled to play Balthazar Getty's character, Tommy, as a young man in two upcoming flashback episodes, with Kay Panabaker portraying the young version of Calista Flockhart's character Kitty.
The plans apparently have fallen through according to Michael Ausiello of Entertainment Weekly due to his schedule. An insider informed Entertainment Weekly that the scheduling conflict is possibly with Camp Rock 2.
Cody Longo will take his place in the "Brothers and Sisters" role. Don't worry Joe Jonas will still grace us with his awesomeness in Camp Rock 2: The Final Jam as well as in "JONAS" which they will begin filming next week.

TC TO JAMES JOHNSTON; 15 December 1821; DOI: 10.1215/lt-18211215-TC-JJ-01; CL 1:410-412.
Edinr, Cusine's Lodgings, 5 College-st. / 15th December, 1821—
My dear Johnstone,
If ever you are at the pains to think of me at all, it must be as of a very negligent and untrustworthy creature. I daresay you did not anticipate at our parting that I should be so late in making inquiries after you: and had things turned out as we expected then, I should certainly merit great blame for what appears to be so unfriendly a line of proceeding. Nevertheless I shall have no great difficulty in framing a satisfactory apology. Since the Saturday when I saw you lodged on the Coach-roof, and whirled away at the rate of seven miles an hour into the West, you must know, my condition has been little better than that of the Indian bird, which, being destitute of legs, is constrained (poor fowl!) to pass its time forever on the wing. I have drifted and flitted about almost incessantly, taking to no settled employment because [of] perpetually changing my place of abode, or perpetually expecting to change it: and it was only last Wednesday that I landed here, or have had any thing like the prospect of passing the winter in my existing position. So, how could I send you my address? Nay so anxious was I to exert every nerve in fulfilling this duty, that last week tho' still unsettled, in writing to Irving I requested him to let you know my news and desire you to take measures for commencing our correspondence under the actual auspices however adverse. Irving confessed to me the other night that he had forgot this commission; and as the account he was able to give me of your residence amounted only to what you see on the back of this sheet, no small dexterity as well as zeal was required to make me accomplish even the slender task, which I have now commenced. I trust however you will get this fairly, will write to me immediately on reading it, and be ready to receive forthwith a more explicit epistle—and better directed than "next door to Smith the Booksellers." This is not perhaps quite satisfactory; but "what man could do is done"1 to make it so.
I have made so tedious a preface, that scarcely any space remains for the main body of the work; and this letter I fear must look, when finished, little better than if an architect were to erect a porch high as the Ram's Horn of Glasgow2 to conduct into a dog-hutch, his edifice would look. It is necessity, you see, that urges me. And possibly, in truth, I ought to rend it as a happy necessity: for what in the world could I interest you with, tho my sheet were broad as the Atlantic and long in proportion? I have had few happy feelings or sad of my own which I can communicate to you; and I am sick to loathing of the criticisms on College Professors, or 'Cain a Mystery by Lord Byron,'3 or the Galloway Stot, I mean Macculloch's Lectures on Political Economy4 (delivered, or to be so, to a crowded audience—of eleven), or any of the other garbage, with which "the general"5 here delight themselves. Next time I write I shall be over head and ears in a translation of Legendre's Eléments de Géometrie (this is under the rose) which I have partly engaged to execute for a kind of embryo society for the encouragement of the Arts, as it calls itself, in Edinburgh[.] Also I shall be writing various trash for Reviews and Encyc[lope]dias; and meditating stoutly on commencing some Opus [Mag]num of my own, which I fear will prove equal trash. I mention this Opus Magnum, because I wish you to reproach me, if I do not try at least to perform it. At present I am teaching two or three hours daily, to keep the purse (base destiny, that Man, the paragon of Animals,6 should need a purse!) from becoming altogether a nonentity. My pupils are learning Mathematics, Metaphysics, Languages; and are all moderately stupid: but they keep very civil, and the stupidity is their own affair—not mine. I get plenty of talk, but no society, in this "intellectual" town: one learns to do without society; and as I am not very unhealthy, I cannot complain of being quite unhappy.
Now in return for this lucid exposition of my concerns, what have you to tell me about yours? What studies are you following and with what relish? Is the Irish business settled? In general, what occupation have you for the present, what hope for the future? It is still one of the few topics to which I do not feel indifferent, and I beg of you to dilate upon it largely. I expect your letter earnestly for various reasons. One is that I may have an opportunity to make amends in some degree for the arid barrenness of my present exhibition. This day is [one] of our worst days in the smoky city. It resembles a day on the shores of Acheron more than any Christian place. It is this which acts upon me principally, for there is some truth in me still—at any rate when I subscribe myself—Your sincere friend, Thomas Carlyle.

Images That Injure
ISBN13:by Lester, Paul Martin
Images That Injure provides an examination of a particular set of pictures that do harm to others, and in turn to all of us. These images--media-promulgated stereotypes of various and diverse groups of people--cause harm in both direct and indirect ways by presenting oversimplified, mostly negative, and often deceptive depictions. In this collection of new and revised essays, noted scholars explore the ways in which these images are created, viewed, and ultimately ingrained into the American culture, examining newspapers, books, films, advertisements, commercials, television shows, magazines, and the Internet. Groups as diverse as African-Americans, women, the elderly, the physically disabled, gays and lesbians, and Jewish Americans are considered here; also included is a special section on post-9/11 stereotyping in the media. These discussions illuminate how each of these media and each of us individually and collectively participate in a sea of meaning that is simultaneously personal and social, unique and shared, linked and independent.

Lost in translation is an aspect of her work, how these ideas can be misinterpreted. She often collaborates with artists and non-artists who also live abroad to gather source materials and thoughts for the development of her work.

Verizon HTC Droid Incredible shipments pushed back again
Verizon has been having problems with HTC Droid Incredible stocks since last week, and it looks like things will only look better towards the end of this month.
Last week, Verizon warned customers who tried to buy the Incredible online that the handset would be shipped "by June 16". Now the Incredible is listed on the carrier's website as shipping "by June 23."
As previously reported, the reason behind Verizon's Droid Incredible shortages is the fact that Samsung's Mobile Display unit can't produce 3.7 inch OLED displays quick enough.
Later this year, Verizon is expected to launch the Motorola Droid Shadow and the Motorola Droid 2 – so if you've had it with waiting for the Incredible, you might as well wait a little longer, maybe one of Moto's new Droids will be a better choice for you.

Senior Derrell Johnson
Nov. 16, 2013
By Bill Woodward
GREENVILLE, N.C. - Derrell Johnson ran onto the turf for his 46th-straight start for East Carolina's football team on Saturday.
But this one was different for the 6-foot-1, 264-pound linebacker from Baltimore. Before the game, he was introduced along with 19 other seniors who were making their final regular-season appearance in Dowdy-Ficklen Stadium.
There was a hug from coach Ruffin McNeill as Johnson trotted out in a pregame ceremony, a greeting from his family at midfield, and a big roar from the Pirates fans who appreciate the effort of the four-year starter and team's leading tackler this season.
"A lot of things were going through my head, the last time at Dowdy-Ficklen Stadium," Johnson said. "The fans, this town, have given us a lot of support. It was really emotional for all the seniors and we knew we had to come out with a big win. That is what we did."
The bear hug he got from McNeill was an emotional moment, Johnson said.
"He told me he was proud of me and how hard I had been working and to keep it up," Johnson said. "I wanted to go out there for him and keep working hard because he works so hard for us. All the coaching staff does.
"He is like a father figure to me and this team is like a family. For him to come out there and give me that hug, I felt like I had to play that much harder for him."
Johnson said he and his fellow seniors had no trouble focusing on the job at hand after the pregame ceremonies.
"It gets you real emotional, but at the same time we focused in," he said. "We still want to win the conference championship and still want to win a big bowl game, so we focused in. We made sure we got the job done."
Johnson got the job done individually, making seven tackles and also grabbing his first career interception.
Johnson has started all but one game he has played at East Carolina, a cornerstone of the defense. A defensive end as a freshman and sophomore, he moved to linebacker the past two seasons.
For McNeill, the hard-hitting senior has been as good as it gets.
"Derrell is a grown man," McNeill said. "He is one of the best defensive players in the country. He is one of the best football players in the country, bar none.
"He does what we ask him to do on the field and more. I'm proud of Derrell. He's got a chance to get his degree and also play at the next level.
"Derrell is one of the best football players I have ever coached."
Johnson's string of 46 straight starts is second in the nation among active players (to 51 straight by Georgia's Aaron Murray). He's worked hard to stay in shape and played through bumps and bruises, always there for the Pirates.
"I am just blessed to be in that situation," Johnson said. "That's totally up to God. I have worked very hard to stay healthy, but that is where that comes from. I am going to keep going out there and play as many games as I can whether I am beat up, sore or hurt, for my teammates because they give their all for me so I am going to give my all for them."
Johnson and his fellow seniors had a big day on their day, scoring seven of the team's nine touchdowns.
"For the seniors to step up and get this big win, for everybody to contribute is a good feeling," Johnson said. "We all talked about it before the game that we were going to play good. For us to go out there and actually play well, it worked hard.
"This bond that we have built started when we were freshmen and all the way on up. It's a bond that is second to none. We all feel like we are all brothers."

The 2006 Reverse Proof Gold Eagle was a special coin offered by the United States Mint to celebrate the 20th Anniversary of the series. The coin represents the first and only Gold Eagle struck with a reverse proof finish.
On August 30, 2006, the US Mint began sales of the 20th Anniversary Gold Eagle Set. Each set included three one ounce coins featuring a different finish, proof, uncirculated, and reverse proof. A product limit of 10,000 sets was established, with a household ordering limit of ten. The special sets were immediately popular with collectors, resulting in a prompt sell out.
The reverse proof coin became the key to the set since it was not offered separately or within other sets. By comparison, the standard proof coin was offered for sale individually or within the four coin proof set. The uncirculated coin was offered in a separate 20th Anniversary Gold and Silver Eagle Set, and later individually.
The final audited mintage for the 2006 Reverse Proof Gold Eagle was 9,996, which at the time established a new mintage low for the American Gold Eagle series. Subsequent issues such as the 2008-W $10 Uncirculated Gold Eagle and 2011-W $50 Uncirculated Gold Eagle would later have slightly lower figures. Nonetheless, the special reverse proof coin remains popular due to its unique finish and important place in history.

the o2 has a recent files list that are better than bookmarks if youd like. The s9 might,not sure though
|[Remove Advertisement]
Actually, conversion will be an issue for you, too. Most videos have to be converted for the D2 and most don't have to be converted for the O2, although if you want to you can cut down the bandwidth and resolution of videos to fit the O2 screen and make the files smaller without losing much quality.
Both players come with the same video conversion software and it'll convert for either player. It's very fast and it does a fine job. I wish it could adjust brightness, contrast and saturation but when they're off in the original I have other tools I can use. None as nice or as easy to use as the converter that comes with these players.
The converter installs as part of Jet Audio but you can load the video converter by itself. I don't care for Jet Audio so I almost never use it.
Your choice is between 2 fine players and either one will be a good choice so I wouldn't worry over it too much.
I had a Zen X-Fi and returned it because the backlight won't turn off without putting it on hold, which is inconvenient with audiobooks since I'm always jumping back to re-listen to something when my mind wanders or I get interrupted. Other than that it was a nice player.
It does let you set bookmarks and it does resume. I forget the details but it either resumes if you pause the file before turning it off or it resumes if you don't pause the file. One of those. Resume is a bit flaky and doesn't always work but it works most of the time. Bookmarks work very well.
My X-Fi was also defective in that it would play through the speaker but not through the headphones. I considered exchanging it but decided to simply return it because of the backlight problem.
Thanks, fellas. I'm leaning again toward the O2 despite the negative review. It looks like Cowon has upgraded their firmware quite a bit in a month, most notably the upgraded album art resolution.
What I really liked about my small Creative Zen Nano (1GB player) was the ability to browse by file name. This was awesome! I see that the O2 does that too, and is limited to this feature only. Sometimes I prefer the ID3 tag browsing, but either way, I'll be happy. I like putting my monthly podcasts in one folder, anyway. It should be easy to find what I'm looking for since I'm almost exclusively a podcast listener.
I personally have the Sansa e280, so anything will be an improvement, as you can well imagine.
The text viewer isn't too bad of a reader. Much better than ones you have to put in by graphic. Especially with a long document. I can easily save a long web page as text, and move it to the player. Anyone had success or lack thereof with this feature?
I was interested in the D2 because of the rave reviews, but it is nearly two years old already! Amazing, isn't it? I have the hope that the O2's further "flaws" are fixed with software. It appears they are listening somewhat...?
Is anyone who has updated the firmware willing to comment on the updates? I'd be very interested in hearing about the improvements, and what remains to be done... Anyone?

The NFL does take the helmet policy pretty seriously. All over player areas - the locker rooms, trainign facility, etc - there are signs reminding them about the proper use of headgear.
This one in particular was funny, because the two checkmarks are over Seahawks players. Its as if they're saying "hit these guys!"

FORT HOOD, Texas — Breaking news is that a U.S. law enforcement official says the suspected gunman at the Fort Hood Army base, in Texas, is now believed to be deceased.
KTVU says that Fort Hood confirmed today in a statement that the shooting happened on the base on Wednesday evening. The statement reported that, as of now, emergency crews were on the scene and that further details were not yet available.
"Another incident at Fort Hood? I wonder why it happened there." says San Francisco resident, Katie Adler. "There was a mass shooting there in 2009 already. I believe that 13 people died then.
According to KTVU:
"The official says reports circulating within the Justice Department indicate the shooter has died of what appears to be a self-inflicted wound. The official spoke on the condition of anonymity because the investigation is still ongoing."

The team was just about certain they found a Bigfoot in the area around the New River Gorge Bridge near Fayetteville, W. Va. On the Feb. 9 episode of "Finding Bigfoot" on Animal Planet, at least three of the members of the "Finding Bigfoot" team were sure about what they heard in response to their Bigfoot howls on their cold, snowy expedition.
Viewers could hear distinct responses from what appeared to be a Sasquatch. Bobo stated he heard a succession of wood knocks, although the soundtrack of the show did not make that very plain. Those who hunt Bigfoots believe that they knock on trees with sticks to signal intruders to stay away.
The team from "Finding Bigfoot" was ecstatic with the results of their W. Va. expedition, and they were already looking forward to a return event.
Was this howl a response from a Bigfoot or another person in the area? Considering the weather, the time of night and the remoteness of their location, it seems unlikely it was another human mimicking their calls. Of course, anything could happen.
Be sure and follow @BarbieCrafts for the latest in the Bigfoot world!

Great pipes! The pipes arrived packaged good. Nothing bouncing around in the box scratching things up. Took the pipes out of the box and they fit up to the bike perfectly! Sounds great and looks awsome. I would recommend these to anybody.
Review By: 1100Katanaman

2 into one pipes
The fit of the pipes was exceptional.The styling is sweet.The only problem I found was that I had to make muffler mount extensions so that the pipes could be mounted to existing brackets. Without the extensions the mufflers would not mount up to the bike without hitting the chain on the left side and the frame on the right side.Also I had to remove the rollbar that went around the front of the motor because there was no longer clearance for the mounts.

Minutes ago, the McFadden for Senate campaign released this statement:
McFadden Has Best Fundraising Quarter Yet
Franken Challenger Starts 2014 With $1.7 Million Cash On Hand
Eagan Minn. – After posting his best fundraising quarter yet, Senate candidate Mike McFadden will report having $1.7 million cash-on-hand in his race against Sen. Al Franken (D-MN). In its year-end report, the McFadden for Senate campaign will report raising approximately $780,000 during the last three months of 2013. McFadden has raised $2.2 million since entering the race in late May.
"I am truly grateful for all the support Minnesotans have given to my campaign over the past few months," said McFadden. "If there's anything to learn from 2013, it's that we can do better as a state and as a nation. Obamacare is still a disaster, the government is still spending too much money and middle class families are still worried about the economy. I look forward to hitting the campaign trail again in 2014 and holding Al Franken accountable for failing to address the challenges that Minnesota families face today."
The McFadden for Senate campaign will file its report with the Secretary of the Senate later this month.
If Sen. Franken thought he was in for an easy re-election campaign going into 2014, he can't think that anymore. Mr. McFadden has raised the most money of the announced GOP candidates for Senate by a significant margin, though he hasn't raised as much as Sen. Franken.
To defeat an incumbent, a candidate needs a) to raise lots of money, b) an appealing message and c) for things to break right. At this point, Mr. McFadden has at least 2 of those 3 things going for him. He's certainly raised lots of money. He certainly has a positive, pro-growth message that should appeal to Minnesota's middle class.
What's still to be determined is whether things will break in Mr. McFadden's direction. With Obamacare, aka the Affordable Care Act, being a disaster and with more bad news heading in Sen. Franken's direction on that, it isn't a stretch to think McFadden has a shot at having things break his direction.
Private polling has shown Sen. Franken vulnerable, too. Though the DFL has tried insisting that Sen. Franken is as untouchable as Sen. Klobuchar was in 2012, that clearly isn't the case. Policies aside, Sen. Klobuchar gets away with things that Sen. Franken could only dream of getting away with.
This race is shaping up to be one of the interesting sleeper races across the nation. If Mr. McFadden continues raising lots of money, he'll be competitive against Sen. Franken.

On Sunday, February 23 Wetpaint Entertainment posted spoilers and the official synopsis for "Still," the twelfth episode of the fourth season of the AMC drama "The Walking Dead," and will focus on the three new characters from the comic books that recently encountered Glenn and Tara. The official synopsis for the episode is listed below:
An enlightening mission springs from a request from one of the group members.
The tenth episode "Inmates" introduced Sergeant Abraham Ford (Michael Cudlitz), Rosita Espinosa (Christian Serratos) and Dr. Eugene Porter (Josh McDermitt) from the comic book series by Robert Kirkman, and it seems that the twelfth episode will feature them heavily. The synopsis mentions a mission, which could be Dr. Porter's idea to travel to Washington D.C. to learn more about what caused the walker outbreak.
The episode will also features the other groups of Bob, Sasha, Maggie, Beth, Daryl, Tyreese, Carol and the girls as they seek shelter. Lizzie spotted a sign for a place called the Terminus in a previous episode and their group could be headed here for a new safe place, although based on the episode descriptions this might happen in episode thirteen.
Another new character named Tony will be appearing in "Still," and is credited for appearing in several more episodes in the back half of season four, including the finale. Tony will be played by actor Davi Jay and in the comic book series he encountered the group back near Hershel's farm. The television show doesn't follow the comics exactly, since Abraham Ford should have been a major help to Rick instead of fan favorite Daryl.
"Still" will air on Sunday, March 2 at 9 p.m. on AMC. Tune in to find out more about the new characters and who they will impact the story for the rest of season four. At least two of them are expected to be series regulars in season five of the series, which will begin filming in May outside Atlanta.

School is almost out, which means you have to find plenty of activities to keep the kids busy this summer. It's a great time to dabble with some DIY projects and/or toys. One such toy is Mattel's hottest new product, the Hot Wheels Track Builder 5-Lane Tower Starter Set. It's the ultimate track experience that lets boys and girls design, create, and customize their very own track challenge.
Brave sky-high ramps, race a plane with the radar tower stunt, jump through flames and compete in a furious side-by-side race, kids will love creating their own play pattern. This set is especially great because more than one child can play at a time. You can race five cars in four different directions! My daughter and my friend's son had a blast making all sorts of different tracks. MY friend's son has an arsenal of Hot Wheels cars so he brought them over and the race was on!! They both got a kick out of the plane stunt. When the car goes down one of the sky-high ramps it goes through the plane tower in which the toy plane shoots off. It's really cool and fun! They each took turns standing in front of the plane so when it shot off it would hit them in the leg or hand (plane is a very light plastic so doesn't do any damage!!).
You can even make this set bigger and better! The starter set features multiple places to connect more tracks and add fun stunts such as the Quick Kick Loop, Lift & Launch, the Hoop Shot, and the Daredevil Drop (each sold separately). The Hot Wheels Track Builder Starter Set comes with one Hot Wheels car and it is recommended for ages 4 years and older. It retails at Toys R Us for $29.99.

New Tumblr music player code?
Tumblr recently switched out their flash-based music player with a new, more mobile-friendly one. That's good, except the new one is devastatingly ugly and has totally different proportions.

I have been trying in vain to find ways of fiddling with its attributes, but the ones exposed are very limited.

While there's new research that suggests sitting on an exercise ball instead of a chair yields no real advantage, we're not tossing ours out. And frankly, when they're covered in furry fabric and set on chrome-plated bases - like these Rockin' Roller Desk Chairs ($149) - they make for pretty decent statement pieces. They definitely take a bit of boring out of a mundane work day.

Herbie Hancock: Hornets
Herbie Hancock (piano, Fender Rhodes, Hohner D-6 clavinet, mellotron, handclaps)
Sextant (Legacy CK 64983)
Herbie Hancock (piano, Fender Rhodes, Hohner D-6 clavinet, mellotron, handclaps),
Dr. Eddie Henderson (trumpet, flugelhorn), Julian Priester (bass trombone, tenor trombone, alto trombone, cowbell), Bennie Maupin (soprano sax, bass clarinet, piccolo, afuche, hum-a-zoo), Dr. Patrick Gleeson (ARP 2600 and soloist), Billy Hart (drums), Buck Clarke (percussion).
Composed by Herbie Hancock.
Recorded: San Francisco, CA, early 1973
Rating: 85/100 (learn more)
Herbie Hancock must have thought that the kazoo sounded like an insect, because the instrument is an element of this track's horn section. Their 4-note segues are completely indebted to Miles Davis but become caught in a web of pests, obtuse changes, and musicians who foreshadow them by throwing many different ingredients into an already crowded mix. The collective experimentalism is never in doubt, yet the track finds accessibility in its coherent, driving disco beats, its 4-on-the-floor rhythms and an unchanging bass pattern. As a result, it is less abstract than intended, despite most of its elements being obscured by echo chambers, envelopers, flangers, layers of heavy compression and reverb, and wah pedal. A tone- wheel shifts the harmonics to either side of the median at any given time as the effects bounce back and forth by way of hard left and right panning. Sounding unlike much else, the track relies on its imaginary visual appeal, and such music must remain flexible as it assumes a variety of interpretations for different consumers. The shared quality between this and film music is significant because the recording's direction is always tilted towards optical illusion.

Adam Platt on Brushstroke; Where to Dine in Chicago
Plus: the Robs on the city's recent openings, and more, in this week's 'New York.'
In the magazine this week, Adam Platt reviews Brushstroke, David Bouley's kaiseki-style Japanese restaurant. He finds the space itself, in the former home of Secession and Danube before that, redone "in the spare, woodsy style of a Shinto shrine." While this is pleasant, there are some "unexpected, vaguely annoying wrinkles to the proceedings," chief among them a rule forbidding the ordering of sushi in the main dining room. That section of the menu must be consumed while "crouched in the bar," yet our critic's skepticism is eased when he tastes the "impeccably made maki rolls," "milky, rose-colored o-toro tuna belly," and other delectable morsels. The "excellent cooking" carries over to the main dining room, where Platt consumes a ten-course, "stately, slightly archaic prix fixe meal" including dishes like a "smoky bowl of clam broth filled with crunchy tips of white asparagus" and "cool, faintly candied strips of duck breast smoked in sencha tea"; in all, the restaurant receives two stars.
Meanwhile, Rob Patronite and Robin Raisfeld have been busy keeping up with the city's openings. There's Salinas, a Spanish place in Chelsea; gelato shop Amorino, an Italian import that specializes in flower-shaped scoops; and Victory Garden, also dishing frozen creamy scoops, in this case with the tang of goat's milk. The Robs also have the story on Rhubarb, currently in season, and ready to be simmered with spices like cardamom and nutmeg and served over yogurt. Lastly, this issue travels to Chicago, so if you go, here's where to eat.

On Tuesday, Sweden announced the 25-man roster that would represent the country at the 2014 Olympics in Sochi, Russia. Included amongst the names was Colorado Avalanche captain Gabriel Landeskog.
Although this is the first Olympics for the 21-year old forward, Landeskog is no stranger to the national team. He has represented the Tre Kroner at least once per season since he was 15. He served as an assistant captain for the 2012 World Championships, despite only being 19 at the time. This will mark the 13th time that Landeskog has played for Sweden.
Sweden will look to follow up their gold medal winning performance at the 2013 World Championships; which saw Landeskog score four points in 10 games.
In 41 games this season, Landeskog has 31 points (12 goals, 19 assists), 27 penalty minutes and is plus-eight. He is currently on a seven-game point streak (three goals, five assists). Three seasons in to his career, Landeskog has accumulated 100 points (43 goals, 57 assists) and 100 penalty minutes in 159 games.
Landeskog joins an Avalanche contingency at the Olympics that also includes Matt Duchene (Canada), Paul Stastny (United States), Semyon Varlamov (Russia) and prospect Jonas Holos (Norway). The Olympics will be held from Feb. 7-23.

The BlackBerry Pearl 9100 has been really frustrating here in the United States. Pretty much everyone around the world got this great SureType device, while the US stands by for a carrier to take it up. We already got the word from WES 2010 that T-Mobile has given the Pearl a thumbs down as they take on a BlackBerry Curve 9300 instead. AT&T remains in the loop, and as I just spotted the clamshell 9670 keyboard available for ordering, I browsed around 9100 parts to see if anything was fishy there. Just as I wanted to see, a Pearl 9100 AT&T branded bottom cover has been spotted. Is it a fake? We don't think so as True Supplier has put out genuine OEM parts. They are very well known for putting parts out for devices before they even release also. So how far are we from seeing the Pearl launch for AT&T?

If you drink a bit of wine, you probably know that Geyser Peak is a northern California winery that makes decent supermarket wine. And they are proud of that. What you may not know is that they also do some very good, very interesting limited-production wines that are not so readily available – though they should be.
I had lunch earlier with the lovely Ondine Chattan, chief winemaker at Geyser Peak. It was so interesting to speak with her about their smaller production wines from the Appellation Series. These are the ones I enjoy. While their large production wines are their "bread and butter," the little guys are so much more fun.
For example, they are probably best known for their California Sauvignon Blanc. As the name states, it is sourced from various places in California. They make almost 200,000 cases of it, and it's one of the best selling Sauvignon Blancs in the greater marketplace.
On the other hand, they also make a River Ranches (Russian River Valley) Sauvignon Blanc (2012), which is quite lovely. It has less residual sugar, better acidity and much more focused flavors. It's harder to find, and about $10 a bottle more than the California appellation wine. It's seriously worth it, but they only make 796 cases of this. That sounds like more than it is when you spread it over a big country.
Moving to Chardonnay, of which I am a big fan but also not that tolerant, they make a Water Bend from Sonoma County (2012) – and only 1700 cases of it. The style of oak, from which the name generates, is so entirely different than what I am used to seeing.
First of all, it is completely fermented in oak – from first-year through third-year barrels. This means that you would normally expect some dominant oak characteristics (at least partially). Water-bent oak is such a vastly different creature from fire-bent oak, and that is so apparent on the wine. While the oak is all French, I couldn't notice those characteristics or that level or that it was new.
Water bending oak barrels allows for a totally different extraction of flavors, contributing a soft and round texture to the wine. It's vastly different from what you would expect from wood-fired oak of this same provenance and age. The wine was much cleaner, more complex and generally more enjoyable than I would have expected. (It's about $22 at retail).
They only make 500 cases of their Pluto's Fury Pinot Noir (2012) from the Russian River Valley of Sonoma. First of all, why is it called Pluto's Fury? Who did it offend? Actually, no one. The name comes from one of the historic geysers that were in the region before most of the wineries we now know were built.
While this is obviously a California Pinot Noir, it does speak well for its Russian River Valley roots. High levels of acidity, elegant fruit (mostly red – cherry, raspberry, strawberry, etc) and lovely "dirt," really speak to why this is a wine to look for at about $28.
There are also a few Cabernet Sauvignon-based wines that are sourced from the Alexander Valley. The grapes for their Walking Tree Cabernet Sauvignon (2011) grow on the western or sunnier bench of the valley. The wine also contains 8% Petite Syrah. The warmer afternoon sun helps develop robust fruit. This is a big, bold California Cab that shows dark and red fruits, tea and woody notes. It's $28.
The 2011 Tectonic is a blend of 69% Cabernet Sauvignon, 15% Petit Syrah and 16% "other red." This is an easy drinking wine with good acid and length. The tannins are smooth, and the length long. The wine is named in honor of Geyserville's geological history and "the upheaval of the earth's crust that created our namesake Geyser Peak Mountain." Also, $28.
Finally, we tasted the 2011 Devil's Inkstand, which is a blend of 69% Cabernet Sauvignon, 15% Petit Verdot and the last 16% is a mix of Malbec and Petite Syrah. The grapes for this wine are grown in vineyards that have (among them) all four exposures. There are only 350 cases of this made. It's a complex, nuanced wine that's big and bold. "Devil's Inkstand takes its name from one particularly intriguing spring with notably steep sides and great depth causing the water within to appear black as ink." $50.
These wines can be purchased online

In an age of image overload from an ever-moving mass media, the notion of depicting specific details of specific events seems an impossible exercise. Yesterdays news is altered, surpassed, reinvented through todays angle on things. Yet, the experience of witnessing human suffering, however far removed, however second or third hand is an experience that is increasingly universal.
It seems to me that we must all have a collective and personal visual database of images showing human suffering, whether theyre from T.V, film or Art History, real or fictional. With this in mind, I am making an improvised drawing over 12 days directly onto the gallery wall recalling some of the indelible images of human extremis from my own memory bank.
Mark Anstees work has concentrated on developing large-scale temporary pictures through the accumulation of individually drawn motifs made live in public museums and galleries.
Essentially, his aim is to explore the need to remember without the rhetoric of permanence.

The film ' encounter', directed by Gabi Cowburn and featuring the monumental drawing Anstee made at the WW1 Museum, in Flanders Fields, Ypres, was screened in the lecture theatre for the duration of the Process Room exhibtion.

How can I prove if a Hausdorff topological space $X$ is not compact, then there exist a countably infinite discrete family of open sets in $X$.
Sign up

I don't think this is true. Note that any Hausdorff space $X$ which has an infinite discrete family of (nonempty) open sets cannot be countably compact, and there are certainly examples of Hausdorff countably compact non-compact spaces (e.g., the ordinal space $\omega_1$).
For more detail, suppose $\{ U_n \}_{n \in \omega}$ is a discrete family of nonempty open subsets of $\omega_1$. Without loss of generality, we may assume that each $U_n$ is of the form $( \alpha_n , \beta_n )$ for $\alpha_n < \beta_n$. Letting $\gamma = \sup_{n < \omega} \beta_n < \omega_1$, note that each $U_n$ is actually a subset of the ordinal space $[0,\gamma]$, which is compact. But this contradicts the assumed discreteness of the family in question (since no compact space can have such a family).
As Arthur Fischer points out, the result is false. What you can prove is that if $X$ is a non-compact Hausdorff space, there is an infinite family of pairwise disjoint open sets in $X$.
Let $I$ be the set of isolated points of $X$. If $I$ is infinite, then $\{\{x\}:x\in I\}$ is an infinite family of pairwise disjoint open sets, so assume that $I$ is finite. Replacing $X$ by $X\setminus I$ if necessary, we may assume that $I=\varnothing$. Fix distinct $x_0,x_1\in X$, and let $U_0$ and $V_1$ be disjoint open nbhds of $x_0$ and $x_1$, respectively. The point $x_1$ is not isolated, so there is a point $x_2\in V_1\setminus\{x_1\}$; let $U_1$ and $V_2$ be disjoint open sets such that $x_1\in U_1\subseteq V_1$ and $x_2\in V_2\subseteq V_1$.
In general, given $x_n\in V_n$, choose $x_{n+1}\in V_n\setminus\{x_n\}$, and let $U_n$ and $V_{n+1}$ be open sets such that $x_n\in U_n\subseteq V_n$ and $x_{n+1}\in V_{n+1}\subseteq V_n$. It's clear from the construction that if $m<n$, then $U_n\subseteq V_{m+1}\subseteq X\setminus U_m$, so $\{U_n:n\in\omega\}$ is the desired family of pairwise disjoint non-empty open sets.
Of course the family $\{U_n:n\in\omega\}$ is discrete in the subspace $\bigcup_{n\in\omega}U_n$, but in general that's the most that you can guarantee.

This issue brief examines Asian labor migration to the Middle East—a region distinguished by its major dependence on migrant workers, the overwhelming majority from Asia. The author focuses on the role of private recruiting agencies as key facilitators of temporary labor migration and perpetrators of exploitative practices.
The 2012 Global Diaspora Forum challenged diaspora communities to forge partnerships with the private sector, civil society, and public institutions in order to make their engagements with their countries of origin or ancestry effective, scalable, and sustainable.
This practical handbook highlights policies and programs that can magnify the resources, both human and financial, that emigrants and their descendants contribute to development. It gives concrete examples of policies and programs that have been effective, and pulls out both useful lessons and common challenges associated with the topics at hand.
This brief outlines the key policy challenges governments and other stakeholders face in addressing the health needs of Asian labor migrants. It highlights the obstacles migrant workers face in accessing health facilities and services at various stages of migration, before proposing five key steps for translating the growing interest in migrant health issues to visible changes on the ground.

College Hockey:Augsburg trying to end skid
It's tough to keep getting up when you repeatedly get knocked down, and few teams have been knocked down as often as Augsburg this season.
The Auggies are in the grip of a seven-game winless streak, which has included a pair of ties and two losses by two goals or less.
Augsburg sits at 3-11-3 overall and 2-5-2 in the Minnesota Intercollegiate Athletic Conference, and coach Christopher Brown said his team simply hasn't been able to put it all together to have success since earning an 8-2 win over Wisconsin-Superior on the road on Dec. 7.
"We haven't been able to put all phases of the game together where we have the right attitude and the ability to score and defend," Brown said. "We are not the type of team where we have one or two phases of the game working and we come out on top."
Augsburg skated to a pair of ties this past weekend against Hamline. The first game ended in a 1-1 tie and the finale ended in a 2-2 deadlock.
Typically, Brown is accustomed to seeing his teams pick up their energy and build momentum during the second half of the season.
"We came into the weekend on life support with our playoff hopes, but in the past, we have usually done very well in the second half of the season," Brown said. "I was hoping that it would start this past weekend. We need to play with more confidence, which is hard to do when you have struggled."
Augsburg has scored 37 goals this year and allowed 56.
Ben McClellan leads the team with six goals and six assists, while B.J. McClellan has tallied five goals and three assists. Derek Loisel and Landon Olson have come through with four goals apiece, and Niklas Almstrom and Thomas Paine have each racked up three goals.
Justin Lochner has spent most of the time in goal this season, playing and starting in 16 games. He has allowed 47 goals and has tallied 415 saves.
If there are positives as a team, it is that the Auggies have been good at limiting power-play opportunities for opponents. Teams are just 9-of-59 against Augsburg on the power play.
The Auggies have also limited their penalties, tallying just 82 on the season.
"I like where we are with the power play and I feel like we have been a disciplined team; those are things you can build on," Brown said. "We've been playing hard defensively lately and that is a good sign. But we haven't been able to score goals. We have to be able to find ways to score."
Eight games still remain on the schedule for Augsburg, starting with a two-game set against St. Mary's this weekend.
While the playoffs are likely out of reach, Brown wants his team to finish the season strong.
"We need to have pride," Brown said. "It's been a long season and now that we are down to crunch time, the players need to have pride and continue to give a great effort. Everyone plays hard at this level. The good teams play with poise, execute, and have consistency. I want us to go out and play hard and play smart and we'll see what happens."
First-place showdown
St. Thomas and St. Mary's played in the marquee series of the weekend, as first place was on the line in the conference.
The Tommies and Cardinals played to a 0-0 tie in the opener before the Tommies came to life offensively in the finale and rolled to a 7-2 win.
Six players scored for St.Thomas in the win, with Tyler Gubb coming through with two goals and an assist. Drew Fielding made 13 saves.
In the scoreless tie on Friday, Fielding made 29 saves while St. Mary's goalie Andy Scheib racked up 38 saves. It was the first scoreless tie for the Tommies in at least 25 years.
St. Thomas is 7-2-1 in the conference while St. Mary's is 5-2-1.
Oles stay in contention
St. Olaf is currently in second place in the conference standings with a 6-2 record after sweeping Bethel this past weekend.
The Oles picked up a 5-2 win in the opener and capped the weekend with a 6-4 win.
Andrew Anderson scored twice in the first game, while Henrik Wood racked up 15 saves. In the finale, St. Olaf erased a 3-0 deficit by scoring four unanswered goals in the second period.
Jeff Harris paced the offense with a pair of goals and Anderson scored a goal while dishing out two assists as St. Olaf set the stage for a key showdown with St. Thomas this weekend.
Johnnies keep hope alive
St. John's came through with an important sweep of Concordia over the weekend and stayed within striking distance of the fifth and final league playoff berth.
The Johnnies knocked off the Cobbers, 2-1, on Friday and capped the weekend with a 3-1 win as they improved to 3-3-2 in MIAC play.
Saxton Soley tallied 22 saves, and while he is only a freshman, he leads the conference in win percentage (.700).
The success of St. John's shouldn't be a surprise. The Johnnies have either beaten or tied the Cobbers in 26 of their last 30 meetings, including a 20-3-2 mark in their last 25 match-ups.

There's a world of difference between mass-produced "Cajun" food and the authentic, slow-cooked, localvore flavors of real-deal Cajun.

I was here for lunch and as you'll see, it can be very rich! These are traditional recipes with that classic French touch. Okay, so consomme and boiled eggs for breakfast, supper.
First, we started with sweet/salty hush puppies and seasoned rolls.
Next, I tried their signature Cajun Corn, that my server explained is Corn Maque Choux. Here's what Wiki says about that style of corn:
It is thought to be an amalgam of Acadian French (Cajun) and American Indian cultural influence, and the name is likely to derive from the French interpretation of the Native American name.
It contains corn, green bell pepper, tomatoes, onion, and sometimes garlic and celery. The ingredients are braised in a pot. Historically bacon grease was used for the braising stage, although various combinations of oil, butter, or cream may be substituted. The vegetables are then left to simmer until they reach a tender consistency, with chicken stock or water added as necessary. The dish is finished with salt and a combination of red and black pepper. Some cooks include hot sauce and a bit of sugar for greater complexity.
So, this is definitely 'gator country! I've eaten alligator a couple of times before, including as a judge at the Roadkill Cookoff. Often, it can be rubbery or even fishy tasting. It can be, but certainly wasn't here! I would definitely say that whether you've had 'gator before or never before, this is the place to order it! It's spicy and tender, with a light battered coating. Delicious!
I tried a special of theirs: Sea Bass Supreme. It's stuffed with crawfish and topped with green pepper, crispy seasoned breaded crab and a thinner style of Hollandaise sauce. Decadent and fresh! Ralph and Kacoo's is considered by locals to be the seafood restaurant.
I also tried a little taste of their gumbo: it was dark, with a dark chocolate-brown roux, a touch of spice.

text: It's that time of year again, when we suit up (a.k.a., strip down!) and head for the beach, local pool, or a nearby swimming hole. If the bathing suit-shopping ritual is somewhat traumatic for you (like it is for most of us), you can start breathing a little easier. This year's styles include plenty of body-shapers, bust-boosters, hip-slimmers, and leg-lengtheners to camouflage your problem areas and show off your best assets.
