College Hockey:Wildcats Steal One From Huskies
Steward Earns First Career Shutout
HOUGHTON, Mich. — In the battle for dominance in the U.P.,the Northern Michigan Wildcats, backed by a tremendous night from their goaltender, Brian Stewart, won for the second time this season at the MacInnes Student Ice Arena Saturday night, 2-0, as Stewart earned his first career shutout.
"We played another thorough game (tonight)," said Huskies' head coach Jamie Russell. "It's extremely frustrating right now because I thought we played some great hockey."
Sophomore winger Ray Kaunisto got the Wildcats (7-10-1 overall, 5-9-0 CCHA) on the board in the second period with a long wrist shot from the high slot that found its way past Huskies' netminder Rob Nolan. Sophomore center Matt Butcher made the pass to Kaunisto, who netted his fourth of the season at 5:55.
The Huskies (6-8-2 overall, 5-6-1 WCHA) finished the weekend with 65 shots on net, and only managed a goal in the first period of Friday night's game.
"I thought that (Michigan) Tech played great this weekend," said Wildcats' head coach Walt Kyle. "I thought they had us under pressure a lot."
The opening frame looked much like the Friday night game; the Huskies controlled the majority of the play, but had little to show for it.
Stewart, a sophomore, made 10 of his 35 saves on the night in the first, but none were more important than a shorthanded stop. Huskies' sophomore Drew Dobson fired a long blast that was handled by Stewart. Stewart came up just as big a little later when freshman center Jordan Baker attempted to bury a rebound.
"Our goaltender had a great weekend and I think thats why we won tonight," said Kyle.
Nolan's best save of the game came eight minutes in as Derek May launched a blast from the blue line off a faceoff win by Brown. Nolan reached out with his glove and made the save look easy.
In the second period, the Huskies had a pair of man advantages, but couldn't find the back of the net either time. Stewart was forced to stop Baker from burying a rebound or two in both power plays as Baker continued to prowl the area near the Wildcats' goal.
"We need to generate more chances on the power play," said Russell. "We can't just sit back and wait for power plays and expect to score."
The Wildcats struck for the second time in the middle frame as senior winger Andrew Sarauer waited until Nolan went down and fired the puck up over him with just 2:31 remaining. Freshman center Jared Brown picked up the lone assist on the goal, Sarauer's second of the season.
"We knew that since they were pressing hard we could get chances if we got behind them," said Kyle.
In the final stanza, the Huskies continued to fire early and often at Stewart, but had nothing to show for their efforts. Less than a minute in, captain Jimmy Kerr hit the post with a shot that had Stewart clearly beat.
"We were trying to come out quickly and get one early," said Kerr. "Stuff like that happens, and you just have to battle through it."
"We did a lot of the little things (right)," said Russell. "We were physical and we won battles, but we weren't rewarded for our efforts."
Nolan came up with two strong saves when called upon for the Huskies in the third. His best save of the two was on a shot from Sarauer on a three-on-two break about eleven minutes in. He finished the game with only thirteen stops. The Huskies managed to keep the Wildcats to 24 shots over the course of the weekend.
"I thought that Robbie played great," said Russell. "It's good to see him play well, but it's frustrating that we couldn't score for him."
Russell burned his timeout with 1:04 left, trying to rally the troops. With an extra attacker on the ice in place of Nolan, the Huskies nearly struck off the ensuing faceoff, but Stewart continued to be in the right place at the right time.

STANFORD, Calif. - Stanford wrestler Nick Amuchastegui has been named the Stanford/Muscle Milk Student-Athlete of the Week for March 12-18 after finishing as the national runner-up at the 2012 NCAA Championships in St. Louis, Mo.
Amuchastegui, the No. 3 seed at 174 pounds, went 4-1 in the postseason for the second straight year. He became the only Cardinal wrestler to reach the NCAA finals on multiple occasions and just the second three-time All-American in program history.

Amuchastegui finishes his senior season with a 24-1 overall record and a career mark of 118-19. His 118 career wins are the fourth-most in school history. He also tallied 18 pins throughout his career, tied for the eighth-most by a Cardinal wrestler.
Along with Amuchastegui's second-place finish, junior Ryan Mango (125 pounds) placed fifth at the championships giving the Cardinal a 16th-place finish overall, the second-best mark in school history.
It is the fourth Muscle Milk Student-Athlete of the Week honor for Amuchastegui and his third this season.

State Highway 50 plans proceed on schedule
Actual construction may not occur until 2018 or later
April 28, 2011
Delavan — Dozens of property owners who live or work along Highway 50 turned out at Delavan-Darien High School April 20 to look at and hear about the state Department of Transportation plans for major improvements and expansions to the roadway.
The project area is from Interstate 43 east, through town of Delavan and Williams Bay, to Highway 67.
The new Highway 50 arrangement, referred to as the recommended alternative by the DOT, calls for expanding the roadway to six lanes from I-43 to the entrance at Lowe's, and four lanes the rest of the way east.
The recommended alternative also includes four roundabouts, located at the intersections with County Road F North, Inlet Shore Drive, South Shore Drive/Town Hall Road and Prairie Drive.
Signals are recommended at the I-43 ramps, North Shore Drive and Theatre Road.
A stop sign is proposed for the Lowe's store entrance.
According to DOT information, the roadway widening will vary from the center, and from the north and south of Highway 50 to minimize environmental impacts, minimize business relocations and minimize cost.
While the changes may look impressive on paper, DOT spokesman Dennis A. Shook said actual work is down the line a ways, with a tentative start date of 2018.
Were the recommended alternative to suddenly become reality, 16 residences and eight businesses along Highway 50 would be impacted, Shook said.
But there will be at least three more public hearings before any plan is approved.
And before dirt is moved, the DOT will have to meet with property owners who might lose some, or even all, of their property to the road realignment to negotiate compensation, Shook said.
Environmental impacts still need to be assessed and an archeological survey must be done.
Those might still affect the project, Shook said.
According to a DOT timeline, the archeological and historical investigations will be done by the end of 2011, while the environmental document is expected to be completed by fall of 2012.
Shook said the redesign of the highway is necessary for safety reasons.
Projections indicate that traffic will exceed state DOT thresholds for two lanes.
The planning limit used by DOT for expanding from two to four lanes in a rural area is about 15,000 vehicles a day, according to DOT information.
The western half of the Highway 50 corridor is nearing or exceeding 15,000 vehicles per day now.
By 2037, projections indicate the entire Highway 50 corridor from I-43 east to Theatre Road will exceed 15,000 vehicles daily.
Shook said a Highway 50 bypass was considered by DOT, but rejected.
Although drivers could use nearby Highway 67 to avoid Highway 50, they aren't, he said.
And, since Highway 50 is the most direct route to I-43 from Fontana and Lake Geneva, there's no indication that traffic from those communities would use a bypass, either, a DOT report said.
County Supervisor Dave Weber is taking an active interest in the DOT plans.
The proposed road project goes right through his district.
Weber said his biggest concerns are the Highway 50 homes and businesses that find themselves in the way of the proposed DOT project.
Weber concedes there are some houses that may have been built too close to the Highway 50 right-of-way.
But he said the threat to businesses concerns him most.
For example, the Mobil service station at Town Hall Road and Highway 50 might be removed completely by a proposed roundabout.
"In business, location is everything," Weber said.
"They (the Mobil station) serve not just 50, but the whole (Delavan) lake front."
Weber said he doesn't believe there is anywhere else that the station could relocate that would make up for the loss of that corner.
Weber said he also hopes that Reed's Marine is missed by the highway expansion.
The roundabout at County Highway F North would also endanger businesses at that corner and might impact Lake Lawn Resort, which is in the process of being sold.
Weber said now is the time to plan so the project will have the least impact on homes and businesses.
Those who want more information about the Highway 50 project may go to http://www.dot.wisconsin.gov/projects/wis50corridor/index.htm, or contact Dennis A. Shook at (414) 750-2395.

The Graduate Degree Committee of Sage Graduate Schools requires that graduate courses differ from courses offered at the undergraduate level. These differences are categorized by content, role of the instructor, and role of the student. Content:
- An emphasis on theory and the translation of theory into practice.
- A greater reliance on the development of critical evaluation skills through analysis of research literature.
- The range of content covered addresses the depth and complexity of recent developments in the field at a substantial, professional level.
- The role of the instructor goes beyond that of a conveyor of information.
- The instructor of a graduate course develops a learning environment that allows students to construct their own knowledge and understanding.
- Graduate courses rely on interactive, collaborative problem solving to a greater extent, allowing students the opportunity to integrate and apply what is learned to relevant and current situations.
- Graduate students are expected to assume responsibility for their own learning.
- Graduate students are presumed to have knowledge based in the discipline that prepares them for independent pursuit of knowledge, expertise and skills.
- Graduate students are expected to be proficient in written and spoken communication.

The start of 2014 was not pleasant for Phaedra Parks and her husband Apollo Nida of "The Real Housewives of Atlanta." The RHOA stars will undoubtedly have a lousy summer as well because Parks' spouse was sentenced for his federal crimes reported the Los Angeles Times on Tuesday, and Nida has to pay up.
Real-life drama continues to unfold for the cast of "The Real Housewives of Atlanta" from the arrest of Apollo Nida, husband of RHOA cast member Phaedra Parks, in January to his guilty plea in May and now a sentence of jail time, a large fine and the loss of his home. Radar Online revealed Nida's Georgia house was sold at public auction in May for failure to pay taxes.
Phaedra Parks' spouse of four years is no stranger to criminal activity. Apollo Nida has already served five years for racketeering, and now he'll serve another eight for bank fraud and identity theft, as well as forking over $2.3 million in restitution. RHOA fans surely remember "The Real Housewives of Atlanta" brawl between Brandon DeShazer, Kenya Moore's assistant and Nida, which occurred back in September. As a party was in the process of taping for "The Real Housewives of Atlanta" season six, Apollo Nida, Phaedra Parks' beloved, "flew into a rage and violently attacked" Brandon, allegedly over a workout video. Love is blind and Phaedra continues to support her man, even after he blamed his wife's success for his life of crime. But where was she this past weekend?
RHOA's Apollo Nida was charged with bank fraud and identity theft for allegedly "depositing millions of stolen and fraudulently obtained checks, auto loan proceeds and US treasury checks issued as tax refunds into upwards of 40 bank accounts, which had been opened with apparent stolen identities." Phaedra Parks' husband's sentence is more than the minimum because this type of white-collar crime has a high re-offense rate, and as stated above, "The Real Housewives of Atlanta" star is no stranger to this time of crime.
According to Perez Hilton Apollo Nida got off easy because he ratted on his "friends" and "business partners." Will Phaedra Parks support her husband? The RHOA star was last spotted this weekend in Cancun for a friend's birthday party. "The Real Housewives of Atlanta," which airs Sundays on Bravo, will most likely reveal that drama when the new season begins.

In the wake of Washington Redskins quarterback Donovan McNabb's recent contract extension, New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees was asked about his own situation. Brees is under contract through the 2011 season, though the threat of a labor dispute between the owners and players could complicate things after this season.
"It's not an issue during the season," Brees said. "It's not on my radar. I'm just thinking about winning games. But obviously when the time comes, we'll definitely be talking."

IMF Executive Board Concludes 2011 Article IV Consultation with MozambiquePublic Information Notice (PIN) No. 11/82
June 27, 2011
Public Information Notices (PINs) form part of the IMF's efforts to promote transparency of the IMF's views and analysis of economic developments and policies. With the consent of the country (or countries) concerned, PINs are issued after Executive Board discussions of Article IV consultations with member countries, of its surveillance of developments at the regional level, of post-program monitoring, and of ex post assessments of member countries with longer-term program engagements. PINs are also issued after Executive Board discussions of general policy matters, unless otherwise decided by the Executive Board in a particular case.
On June 17, 2011, the Executive Board of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) concluded the Article IV consultation with Mozambique.1
Mozambique has sustained strong economic growth over nearly two decades, helped by foreign investment, mainly in mega-projects in the natural resource sector, and generous support by development partners. However, trend growth has declined in recent years and poverty reduction stagnated, suggesting the need for building more inclusive growth through economic diversification, employment creation, and the expansion of social protection.
Mozambique has weathered the adverse shocks of recent years relatively well. Economic growth remains one of the highest in the region, partially reflecting the authorities' supportive policy stance during the global crisis. Growth in 2010 is estimated at 6½ percent, supported by external demand. Inflation, even excluding food and fuel, strongly picked up and reached double digits, triggered by the accommodating monetary policy adopted during the crisis and a depreciating exchange rate during much of the year. The current account deficit narrowed more than expected, supported by buoyant mega-projects exports. Strong revenue collections, reflecting tax administration efforts, and spending restraint helped contain the fiscal deficit in 2010, in spite of the high costs of the fuel subsidy which put pressures on domestic spending.
Mozambique's medium-term outlook remains favorable. Economic growth is projected to accelerate to 7¼ percent in 2011 and close to 8 percent over the medium term. This mainly reflects strong new mega-project activity and stepped-up public investment. Headline inflation is projected to decline to single digits as a result of appropriately tight macroeconomic policies, while Mozambique's external position should remain comfortable. Nonetheless, continued spillovers from international food and fuel prices could be a drag on macroeconomic and social stability.
Significant policy challenges remain over the medium term. The new Poverty Reduction Strategy aims to respond to these challenges and create the conditions for high, sustained, and inclusive economic growth. This includes policies to increase production and productivity in labor-intensive sectors, such as agriculture, and promoting employment through improvements in the business environment. Private sector activity would benefit from a larger contribution of the financial sector. Fiscal space needs to be created to finance large public investment and support an expansion of social protection, while safeguarding macroeconomic stability and debt sustainability. This will hinge on enhancing government revenues, safeguarding donor support, pursuing a prudent borrowing strategy, and stepping up debt management and investment planning. Continued improvements in public financial management will facilitate expenditure prioritization and execution.
Executive Board Assessment
Executive Directors commended the authorities for prudent policies that have resulted in a strong economic performance. Directors noted that, although Mozambique's medium-term prospects continue to be favorable, significant challenges remain in managing macroeconomic risks and ensuring that the benefits from growth are shared fairly across the population.
Directors underscored that safeguarding price stability and containing inflation expectations remain key policy priorities for the period ahead. In this regard, they supported the authorities' intention to tighten fiscal and monetary policies as needed to bring about an early and sustained decline in core inflation.
Directors welcomed the authorities' new Poverty Reduction Strategy (PARP). They supported the goals of broadening the country's productive and export base, creating additional employment opportunities, and expanding the social safety nets. Continued structural reforms to improve productivity and the business environment will be important to achieve sustained growth and poverty reduction. Directors encouraged the authorities to seek the expertise of development partners in designing well-targeted social protection systems.
Directors supported the authorities' prudent fiscal stance aimed at preserving macroeconomic stability and debt sustainability. They welcomed the authorities' intention to gradually phase out the fuel subsidy. With a view to creating fiscal space, Directors encouraged the authorities to sustain efforts to improve tax administration and seek new revenue sources. In particular, they encouraged the authorities to adopt a prudent approach to generating additional budgetary revenue from the natural resource sector while protecting Mozambique as a destination for foreign investment. Directors emphasized the importance of adhering to a prudent borrowing strategy, further strengthening debt management, and improving investment planning.
Directors noted the resilience of the banking system during the global crisis, and recommended continued vigilance in light of remaining vulnerabilities. In particular, Directors stressed the importance of adequate capital buffers at all banks, better diversified loan books, and a strict oversight of financial flows between banks and their parent companies abroad. They welcomed progress in establishing a crisis resolution framework and enhancing bank supervision, while noting the need for steps to make the Anti-Money Laundering and Combating the Financing of Terrorism (AML/CFT) framework more effective.
Directors welcomed the authorities' acceptance of the obligations under Article VIII of the Fund's Articles of Agreement.

A Toco Toucan has strong feet and toes to support its weight. Two toes point forward and two point backward. Its tongue is almost feather like and is six inches long. Its wings are short and rounded and it has a long broad tail. It's generally black with touches of white, scarlet and yellow. The Toco Toucan likes to live in open areas, lowland rainforests and palm groves of South America.
The Toco Toucan will mate at different times, depending on where they live. They breed once a year and have two to four shiny white eggs in a clutch. The incubation period is sixteen days. The Toco Toucan nestlings are born without feathers and are blind. These babies stay in their nest for about seven weeks. Both parents care for their young, protecting and feeding them. Scientists do not know how long toucans live in the wild.
Toucans usually live in pairs or groups called flocks. Their nests are in holes in trees. They talk to each other using toad likes noises. They take turns cleaning each other's feathers with their beaks.
The Toco Toucan's feather-like tongue helps move food along its bill. Its strong toes help it get a good grip on branches. The Toco Toucan has a very wide tail. It helps him stay balanced in the trees. The Toco Toucan eats fruit, seeds, insects, and spiders; steals eggs and nestlings from smaller birds. The Toco Toucan is a predator. It hunts lizards and snakes and steals eggs and nestlings from smaller birds. I can't find any sources about what eats the toco toucan. The Toco toucan is not endangered because it's able to adapt to man made habitats when the rainforests are destroyed.

BUSINESSDESK: The New Zealand dollar fell in local trading as a more benign than expected inflation report and a weaker Australian economic outlook trimmed the appeal of the currency.
The kiwi fell as low as 81.40 US cents and traded at 81.57 cents at 5pm in Wellington, down from 81.82 cents at 8am and up from 81.43 cents yesterday. The trade-weighted index was unchanged at 72.80.
New Zealand's 90-day bank bill rate fell 5 basis points to 2.65% and the two-year swap rate declined 7 basis points to 2.47% after consumer prices rose at a slower than expected pace of 0.3% in the September quarter.
That took annual inflation to 0.8%, below the Reserve Bank's target band of between 1% and 3%. The data comes before new central bank governor Graeme Wheeler delivers his first official cash rate review next week.
The OCR review "is a real focus regardless of what inflation is doing right now. Tthere are a whole lot of questions about the new governor and whether the new policy target agreement is something we should read a lot into," says Chris Tennent-Brown, FX economist at Commonwealth Bank of Australia in Sydney.
Minutes from the Reserve Bank of Australia's October 2 meeting show the board sees an "increased likelihood of growth over the coming year being somewhat weaker than earlier forecast".
Australia has been dealing with a slowdown in its resources industry, a sector that helped it avoid recession during the global financial crisis. The kiwi fell to 79.46 Australian cents from 79.81 cents yesterday.
Mr Tennent-Brown says the main focus for the trans-Tasman currencies this week will be the dump of Chinese data on October 18, which is expected to show slowing economic growth in the world's most populous nation.
CBA expects the Australasian currencies will end the year higher, with their respective economies in better shape than Europe, which is dealing with a sovereign debt crisis, and the US, which faces massive austerity if policymakers cannot address the so-called "fiscal cliff" after next month's presidential election.
With trading volatility at the lowest level since before the 2008 global financial crisis, "the fundamentals of the Australian and New Zealand dollars will keep flowing through and the currencies will stay strong", he says.
The rose to 64.28 yen from 63.87 yen yesterday and slipped to 62.92 euro cents from 63.08 cents. It was little changed at 50.76 British pence from 50.74 pence yesterday.

Kurt Cobain's twenty-years after his suicide has managed to slam is wife Courtney Love in a newly-released letter that was found at the scene of the Nirvana frontman's suicide two decades ago according to Hollywood News Daily reports on Wednesday, April 30.
Reports reveal that the newly released Kurt Cobain letter was found according to CBS News in Cobain's wallet by the Seattle Police on the suicide scene back on April 8, 1994.The findings from the pop culture icon's death scene were all logged into evidence, but was never made public until now.
The letter written by Cobain reveals a mock wedding vow saying,
"Do you Kurt Cobain take Courtney Michelle Love to be your lawful shredded wife even when she's a b*tch with zits and siphoning all your money for doping and whoring."
Kurt Cobain and Courtney Love were married in 1992, two-years before the Nirvana frontman's death from a self-inflicted gunshot wound.
Previous reports reveal, that the Seattle detectives recently re-opened the Kurt Cobain death investigation case last month after discovering new evidence that included four rolls of undeveloped film that was taken from the day at the death scene.
Photos reveal images of a box full of drug paraphernalia, that included a spoon and needles. The box was found on the floor of Cobain's home next to a pair of sunglasses and a half a cigarette.
After reviewing the case, and evidence found at the scene of Cobain's death detectives reveal that no new information was found to believe that the Nirvana singer was killed by anyone other than his own hands.
What do you think about the Kurt Cobain letter release?

Most died at the very start of their young lives, tiny victims taken in a way not fit for anyone regardless of age. Others found their life's work in sheltering little ones, teaching them, caring for them, treating them as their own. After the gunfire ended Friday at Sandy Hook Elementary School, the trail of loss was more than many could bear: 20 students and six adults at the school, the gunman's mother at home, and the gunman himself.
A glimpse of some of those who died:
They were supposed to be for the holidays, but finally on Friday, after hearing much begging, Charlotte Bacon's mother relented and let her wear the new pink dress and boots to school.
It was the last outfit the outgoing redhead would ever pick out. Charlotte's older brother, Guy, was also in the school but was not shot.
Her parents, JoAnn and Joel, had lived in Newtown for four or five years, JoAnn's brother John Hagen, of Nisswa, Minn., told Newsday.
"She was going to go some places in this world," Hagen told the newspaper. "This little girl could light up the room for anyone."
The images of Olivia Engel will live far beyond her short lifetime. There she is, visiting with Santa Claus, or feasting on a slice of birthday cake. There's the one of her swinging a pink baseball bat, and another posing on a boat. In some, she models a pretty white dress; in others, she makes a silly face.
Dan Merton, a longtime friend of the girl's family, says he could never forget the child, and he has much to say when he thinks of her.
"She loved attention," he said. "She had perfect manners, perfect table manners. She was the teacher's pet, the line leader."
On Friday, Merton said, she was simply excited to go to school and then return home and make a gingerbread house.
"Her only crime," he said, "is being a wiggly, smiley 6-year-old."
DAWN HOCHSPRUNG, 47, principal
Dawn Hochsprung's pride in Sandy Hook Elementary was clear. She regularly tweeted photos from her time as principal there, giving indelible glimpses of life at a place now known for tragedy. Just this week, it was an image of fourth-graders rehearsing for their winter concert; days before that, the tiny hands of kindergartners exchanging play money at their makeshift grocery store.
She viewed her school as a model, telling The Newtown Bee in 2010 that "I don't think you could find a more positive place to bring students to every day." She had worked to make Sandy Hook a place of safety, too, and in October, the 47-year-old Hochsprung shared a picture of the school's evacuation drill with the message "safety first." When the unthinkable came, she was ready to defend.
Officials said she died while lunging at the gunman in an attempt to overtake him.
"She had an extremely likable style about her," said Gerald Stomski, first selectman of Woodbury, where Hochsprung lived and had taught. "She was an extremely charismatic principal while she was here."
Dr. Matthew Velsmid was at Madeleine's house on Saturday, tending to her stricken family. He said the family did not want to comment.
Velsmid said that after hearing of the shooting, he went to the triage area to provide medical assistance but there were no injuries to treat.
"We were waiting for casualties to come out, and there was nothing. There was no need, unfortunately," he said. "This is the darkest thing I've ever walked into, by far."

I see, Climatologists, Geologists, Meteorologists with doctorates in their fields don't know much about AGW?
The vast majority accept that the current situation is anthropogenic, so that doesn't really matter. There are probably biologists out there who for some reason or another state they don't believe in evolution, too.
Also considering that Antarctica's Ice concentration has INCREASED over the past 10 years...
Far as I know, this is to be expected due to increased precipitation (snowfall in Antarctica's case). Again, as I've already stated, AGW means that some areas get warmer while others get colder. Some areas of Antarctica, which is a large continent, are very likely growing in size, but others are experiencing accelerated melting, and the net result is a loss of ice. This is to be expected.
To my knowledge.
Classic Creationist argument - "there's no consensus, lots of scientists disagree, but the ones who don't follow the dogmas get silenced because {insert arbitrary theory here}". Same spear, new game.
You're making the mistake of looking at science as you do an organized religion, in which dogmas are laid down by authorities for religious and political reasons, and whoever tries to put forward new thoughts is punished or even kicked out of the church. This is the polar opposite of how scientists operate. Scientists, and anyone else using the scientific method, arrive at their conclusions by testing hypotheses, for then to do everything they can to disprove them. If someone tomorrow was to utterly and completely shoot down the scientific notion that the Earth is flat, the Theory of Evolution is real, or that the Earth orbits the Sun, he'd be awarded a Nobel prize and remembered as a genius.
I don't know who the "inquisition" in your cartoon represents, but if it's scientists, the cartoon simply has no backing in reality.
But there is a more sinister side to this feeding frenzy. Scientists who dissent from the alarmism have seen their grant funds disappear, their work derided, and themselves libeled as industry stooges, scientific hacks or worse. Consequently, lies about climate change gain credence even when they fly in the face of the science that supposedly is their basis.
OK, let's accept, for the sake of discussion, that if you do produce results contrary to AGW, you lose your funding? Question then is -
Just because they disagree with the established dogma? Highly unlikely in my ears. A far more believable scenario is that their research turns out to not be sound.

Posted by mleyba on 02/21/2012 9:42am MDT
KATMANDU, Nepal—A 72-year-old man from western Nepal is hoping to prove to Guinness World Records that he's the world's shortest man.
Chandra Bahadur Dangi claims to be only 22 inches (56 centimeters) tall. Guinness World Records currently recognizes Junrey Balawing of the Philippines, who is 23.5 inches (60 centimeters) tall, as the shortest man in the world.

"The Fosters" current season is coming to a close and Callie is all about helping her friends. The ABC Family drama is ending their summer finale with tensions among the Fosters and their friends is at an all-time high. In the August 18th finale episode of the show, Connor's father pressures him to end his friendship with Jude, which leads Lena to make a life-changing decision. The tension mounts between Brandon and Lou, despite their band mate Mat's warnings against drama. Someone from Jesus' past makes him see his relationship with Hayley in a whole new light and as a betrayal threatens the new bond that Callie is forging with the Quinns, Callie calls on her biological father to help save Rita's Girls United Program.
The show is also planning their first interactive "The Fosters" After Show Live Party with stars David Lambert (Brandon) and Bailee Madison (Sophia) and the show's executive producer, Peter Paige. Right after the summer finale of the show airs, "The Fosters" After Show Live Party will recap the show's finale as Lambert, Madison and Paige will share their favorite moments and answer questions directly from fans. Fans who have questions for the stars can submit them on "The Fosters" Facebook page now through the live broadcast.
Classic TV Examiner caught up with one of the show's stars, Hayden Byerly, at the 2014 Teen Choice Awards to get his thoughts on the finale and what's ahead for his character Jude. As viewers of "The Fosters" know, Jude is the youngest member of the family who was recently adopted by Lena and Steph. Throughout the season, Jude has been struggling to fit in school and having to choose between his new family and Callie. Also as the young man is discovering who he is and making new friendships, particularly with Connor, some parents are raising eyebrows about The Fosters' home.
Check out the video on this page to see the interview with Byerly.
"The Fosters" also stars Teri Polo, Sherri Saum, Jake T. Austin, David Lambert, Maia Mitchell, Danny Nucci and Cierra Ramirez and airs Monday, August 18, 2014 at 9:00 p.m. EST on ABC Family.

Grade: B+
With "Haywire," Gina Carano showed critics and moviegoers that she can kick some serious butt. Her dialogue and acting kind of lacked, but most people seemed to forgive her for it. "In the Blood," which releases to limited theaters; VOD; and iTunes on April 4, kind of suffers from the same thing. But with this new feature, Carano shows that she wants to expand more on her career as an actress.
Carano plays Ava, a newlywed whose husband (Cam Gigandet) goes missing while the couple are on their honeymoon in Puerto Rico. When she discovers that the people with her are lying about her husband's whereabouts, she sets out on a solo journey to find him. Little do these people know that Ava is a tough woman, who was trained by her father (Stephen Lang, seen in flashbacks) to take care of herself when that time came.
"In the Blood" forces Carano to reach a little deeper with her character this time around. While she can take care of herself in a fight, the thought of losing her husband on their honeymoon is devastating. And to make matters worse, her new father-in-law (Treat Williams) really doesn't like her. So, this whole newly married thing hasn't been as great as she was hoping, and it sort of turns her into an emotional mess.
Like "Haywire," "In the Blood" is more about Carano's ability to show off some fascinating fighting skills. She doesn't disappoint in that department. And director John Stockwell captures them well, especially in the opener, when she faces off against Danny Trejo in a nightclub. Some of the scenes are a little too shaky, though, and may be a turn off for some.
But, just like "Haywire," it lacks in character development and emotions. It's kind of hard to care for Gigandet, when he's barely in it. Trejo comes in at the beginning, disappears, and then reappears at the end. He's always a pleasure to watch, but it would have been great to have more of him. And then there's Luis Guzman, who plays the local cop. He does well with his limited time, too.
The lack of development is forgivable, though, with the incredible action scenes. This makes "In the Blood" a fun revenge flick, and is more proof that Carano is on her way to being the next big action star.
Check out the Chico Movie Examiner's exclusive interview with Gina Carano.

With the Samsung Galaxy S5 reportedly not selling as good as Sammy would've hoped, all attention is now focused on the company's upcoming phablet, especially given the idea that the Galaxy Note 4 should step into premium build territory by borrowing certain design elements from the recently announced Galaxy Alpha.
As most of you should be aware of by now, the Korean tech giant intends to officially announce the Samsung Galaxy Note 4 at the IFA even in Berlin, on the 3rd day of September. Until then however, it appears that the company will attempt to draw more attention to its unannounced product, as the gadget's promotional campaign has already started.
Samsung Galaxy Note 4 Promotional Campaign Has Begun
First and foremost, Digital World has recently shared a handful of pictures via its Weibo account, showcasing Samsung's first public banners that hint at the inevitable release of the Galaxy Note 4. These ads popped up in the streets of Beijing Chang'an Avenue and while they seem to target the Galaxy Note series in general, the addition of the "Galaxy Note 4" moniker confirms what this movement is all about: increase product awareness for the upcoming phablet.
In addition, Samsung's official Weibo account also informed its followers of a new ad that, once again, targets the Galaxy Note series. The promotional material comes in the form of a new video that's been published on the company's official product campaign page, where a virtual Samsung Galaxy Note 3 serves as a video player for the aforementioned ad. On the face of it, the Note 3 appears to be the main topic of the ad, as the handset in question is present in most of the shots. However, the last few seconds of the video are reserved solely for reminding us that a Samsung Galaxy Note 4 is on its way.
As a quick reminder, the Note 4 is expected to pack a 5.7-inch Super AMOLED display with a resolution of 1440 x 2560, a Snapdragon 805 / Exynos 5433 SoC, 4 GB of RAM and a 16 MP main camera with dual-LED flash and optical image stabilization.
Samsung already sent out press invites for the next Unpacking event which will be held in Germany at IFA on the 3rd day of September. The smartphone is then rumored to hit the market by the end of the said month, in an attempt to "steal" some sales from prospective iPhone 6 buyers.
Are you excited about the Note 4's arrival? Do you plan on making the device your next flagship phone?

Lancashire have this afternoon won their first County Championship cricket title for 77 years.
Warwickshire started the day as favourites, needing just to match Lancashire's result to take the crown.
However, despite making Hampshire follow on, they were frustrated on the final day at the Rose Bowl as the match ended in a draw.
Openers Stephen Moore and Paul Horton set Lancashire on their way with 71 and 55 respectively in the second innings at Somerset.
And around 5.10pm, Lancashire passed their target of 211 to win the match by eight wickets.
The winning runs, hit by Steven Croft, sparked jubilant scenes.
Lancashire took 23 points to Somerset's 5 and in the end took the title by a seemingly comfortable 11 points.
The last Red Rose title triumph was in 1934, though they also shared it in 1950.

Walking and standing is something most people do daily. Also, sitting for eight hours a day is something people do daily at least five days a week as well. It is important to stretch out your feet everyday to improve flexibility and elasticity. Walking constantly puts pressure on your feet and it is good to exercise and strengthen your feet.
What should we do to exercise our feet?
Doing exercises such as bending your foot forward and back and side to side will help improve movement. Stepping on your toes and doing raises will help strengthen your feet and calves. If you wear heels a lot try to take them off every two hours or so and do foot rolls to relieve some pressure. When you wear heels, the back of your ankle called the Achilles Tendon could shorten if your heel is constantly in an upright position. You should try to walk around with out the heels for a while and ensure that you are exercising your foot and ankle to prevent your tendon from tearing if you suddenly have to run. You should also try to take some time and jog or walk with regular running shoes. To stretch out the back of your ankle you may simply place the top of your foot on a slant against the wall and lean forward. you may also lift your foot up and stretch it that way. You can also exercise your feet by standing with your feet shoulder width apart and rolling forward onto the balls of your feet then rolling back on to your heels. Just do not roll too far and fall. Tapping your toes for a while to the beat of a song helps with strengthening as well. One way to do it is to tap with your right side for one minute and then alternate and tap with your left side for one minute. Then do the same with your heels. Doing ankle rolls as well is helpful as it could help to prevent injury if you accidentally trip on something and your foot bends the wrong way.
There are more advanced ways to strengthen your feet but for now start with the basics and work your way up to the more advanced ways. Try it out. Strengthen those feet. Try some exercises to relieve all that stress that your feet take each day. There are clinics in Toronto that have some diagrams of stretches you can do. Maybe taking a session or two with a physiotherapist if your feet really bother you will give you a better idea of what you can do to help your feet.

PPE 2012: On Making Compelling Portraits
In the seminar "The Art and Business of Portraiture," held during PhotoPlus Expo, portrait photographers Lydia Panas, Chris Buck, and Charlotte Dumas showed their work, primarily focusing on their fine art images, and described how they interact with their subjects to make compelling portraits. Gallerist Michael Foley of the Foley Gallery in New York moderated the discussion.
Panas, a fine artist whose portraits reveal much about character and relationships, showed work from her Mark of Abel and Falling from Grace projects. She explained that she doesn't direct her subjects; in fact, she talks very little, and works without assistants when she's shooting fine-art portraits. "I recognize what is happening between myself and the model, and I don't force anything," she said. "It's amazing what you can see just by staring at someone." (more…)
