Su Shi (1037-1101), often known as Su
Dongpo, was an eminent writer of the Song Dynasty (960-1279). Being a native of
Meishan of Meizhou (in present-day Sichuan Province), he was born in a not
wealthy landlord family, and much edified by his father, Su Xun. He became a
successful candidate in the highest imperial examinations in the second year of
the Jiayou reign, and served as a local official in Hangzhou, Mizhou, Xuzhou,
Huzhou and other places in succession from the fourth year of the Xining reign
and the early years of the Yuanfeng reign. In the second year of the Yuanfeng
reign, he was falsely charged with some crimes and later exiled to Huang Zhou
and Ruzhou. In the sixth year, someone framed a case against him again. Later,
he served as a county magistrate in Yingzhou, Yangzhou, Dingzhou, Yingzhou and
Huizhou, etc. He passed away in Changzhou in July of the first year of the
Jianzhong Jingguo reign.
The poems and lyrics of Su Shi were of a
virile timbre and an unrestrained spirit. Most of Su Shi's poems were written to
express his own feelings and sing the beauty of nature. Farewell to Lu
Yuanhan Posted to Weizhou, Watching Rainstorms at the Hall of Youmei
and Drinking after the Rain on the Lake are classic poems with an
imagination unbounded, written in either powerful or refined and delicate
strokes. His Poem on the Wall of Xilin Temple was considered to have
fully captured the realism of Song Dynasty poetry. On Paintings of Wang Wei
and Wu Daozi, Reading Meng Jiao's Poems, and On Paintings of Wang,
Assistant Magistrate take art criticism as their subject matters, raising
the culture of the Song Dynasty to new heights.
Compared to his poems, Su Shi's lyrics made
an even greater impact in terms of creativity. He went beyond merely describing
sorrows felt by parting lovers and broadened his canvas to include recollections
of the past, travel notes and reasoning, sweeping aside the gentle and
restrained style of the lyrics created in the late Tang Dynasty (618-907) and
the Five Dynasties Period (907-960), to establish the powerful and free school
of lyrics.
Prelude to a Water Melody
and Charm of a Maiden Singer are thought to
best represent the style of Su Shi's lyrics. Prelude to a Water Melody
imagines extreme loneliness in heaven and entrusts the poet's hopes in securing
eternal happiness in the earthly world. Charm of a Maiden Singer
expresses the poet's uplifting sentiments by describing the grand view at
the former site of the Red Cliff and praising the mettle of ancient heroes. Both
poems were written at a time when the poet was frustrated in his career, there
fore a tone of "life is but a dream" may be sensed now and then in the poems.
Still, this cannot stifle the poet's enthusiasm and optimism conveyed in the
Su Shi, his father Su Xun and younger
brother Su Che were known as the "Three Sus". Su Shi was a master of all
literary forms, including poetry, lyrics, Fu and prose essays. About
2,400 poems and lyrics by Su survive, many of which are vivid evocations of the
poet's own experiences.

The Oklahoma Sooners offense is looking good heading into the 2014 college football season, but there are still question marks on the defensive side of the ball. A Twitter conversation between four-star defensive back Kendall Randolph and former Oklahoma Sooners' star Tony Jefferson on Jan. 12 may hint that Randolph might be the next addition to the Oklahoma Sooners football recruiting list.
Randolph posted that he wanted to be the next Tony Jefferson and then used the hashtags, "OU," "BoomerSooner" and "Only1." This is a big deal because Randolph is scheduled to visit Norman on Jan. 31.
Jefferson responded and said that Randolph should try to be better than he was. He then said the only way to do that is to go to a school like Oklahoma, where he will play for championships every year.
According to Rivals, Kendall Randolph is the 50th ranked player in the state of Florida and has offers from the national champion Florida State Seminoles, the Alabama Crimson Tide, the Stanford Cardinal and more. There are 24 total schools on the list that have offered Randolph a scholarship.
While OU hasn't won a national title since 2000, they have really shot up in the eyes of recruits when they beat Alabama in the Sugar Bowl by two touchdowns. It proved that OU was still a major player in college football, and after the number one all-purpose running back in the nation committed to OU, the floodgates seem ready to open.
Kendall Randolph might be the latest prize for this Oklahoma Sooners football recruiting season.

Scientific Misconduct Is Jeopardizing the Quality...
Diseases of the Eye That Cause...
Widespread Adoption of Biomarkers Has Been...
Peptide Drugs Are Not Only Diverse...
A group of researchers have pinpointed various gene-dosage alterations that they believe may play a role in the carcinogenesis of cervical cancer. Their study also revealed genetic losses and gains associated with chemoradioresistance and certain candidate biomarkers.
The findings are published in the November 13 issue of PLoS Genetics in a paper titled "Gene Dosage, Expression, and Ontology Analysis Identifies Driver Genes in the Carcinogenesis and Chemoradioresistance of Cervical Cancer."
The investigators examined more than 140 patients diagnosed and treated at the Norwegian Radium Hospital. Screening of their genomes revealed a set of biological processes that were already known to be hallmarks of cancer associated with gains and losses of specific genes. Moreover, they identified novel loci associated with resistance to chemo- and radiotherapy and depict the genes involved.
Gene-dosage and expression profiles of 102 locally advanced cervical cancers were generated by microarray techniques. The Illumina expression method was used to confirm the gene-expression results in 52 patients. An independent cohort of 41 patients was used for validation of gene expressions associated with clinical outcome.
Statistical analysis identified 29 recurrent gains and losses and three losses (on 3p, 13q, 21q) associated with poor outcome after chemoradiotherapy. The intratumor heterogeneity, assessed from the gene-dosage profiles, was low for these alterations, showing that they had emerged prior to many other alterations and probably were early events in carcinogenesis.
Integration of the alterations with gene-expression and gene ontology data identified genes that were regulated by the alterations and revealed five biological processes that were significantly overrepresented among the affected genes: apoptosis, metabolism, macromolecule localization, translation, and transcription. Four genes on 3p (RYBP, GBE1) and 13q (FAM48A, MED4) correlated with outcome at both the gene-dosage and expression level and were satisfactorily validated in the independent cohort.
These analyses yielded 57 candidate drivers of 24 genetic events, including novel loci responsible for chemoradioresistance. The authors emphasize that the results need to be further validated before they can be considered for use in clinical decision making.

The season finale of "The Vampire Diaries" was shocking and fans are busy speculating on what is going to happen next. Are Damon and Bonnie really gone for good? What will happen with Stefan and Elena? Which characters are set to be series regulars? On May 15, WetPaint revealed some information on what to expect in season 6.
Executive producer Caroline Dries said that Stefan will finally move on from Elena. She said that their relationship has evolved and they have respect for each other. They want the pair to have a good friendship from here on out. As for Caroline, it doesn't sound like she and Tyler will get back together. However, Dries said that they also don't want her rushing into anything either. They want her to have a meaningful and organic love story.
TV Line reported that Matt Davis will be a series regular when the show returns. His character, Alaric, died in season three. While he has been seen once in a while since then, in "The Vampire Diaries" season 6, he will be back on a regular basis. Michael Malarkey, who plays Enzo, will also be a series regular in the next season. Entertainment Weekly wrote that Alaric and Enzo probably won't like each other too much.
As for Damon, Hollywood Life reported that he will be back. The website stated that a source told them that actor Ian Somerhalder needed some time for other projects and that the storyline needed to be kept interesting. The press release for "The Vampire Diaries" season 6 revealed some clues. It reads,
"While the cliffhanger will send our characters reeling, season six will be the story of their journey back to each other as they explore the duality of good versus evil inside themselves on their quest to reclaim their home."
A marketing poster for "The Vampire Diaries" season 6 was uploaded to SpoilerTV. It shows Stefan, Elena and Damon, which is a pretty big clue that Damon will be back, at least in some form. Some fans commented that the woman on the poster looked more like Katherine because of how done up and glamorous she looked. However, that character has been gone for quite a while.
What do you think will happen next on "The Vampire Diaries?" How do you think Damon will return and what do you think the press release means by reclaiming their home?

People's Noodle Bar
Why?Because it's like a speakeasy... for ramen.
So it's a bit of a Checkpoint Charlie affair (making the behind-the-Iron-Curtain name all the more fitting): You walk into Senor Chicken in Columbia Heights, sidle up to the counter, and ask the Asian guy (seriously, they're doing it that way, don't blame us) for the ramen menu.
If you are brave enough to risk either a "what, this a Peruvian chicken joint!" or "Just because I'm East Asian you think..." you will be rewarded with some of the best ramen in the capital. Think crispy duck, lotus roots and bonito; seared pork, egg and mushroom.
Make sure you go on a Saturday between 6:30 and 9:30 p.m., though. Otherwise the awkwardness described above will become reality.

TC TO R. RICHMOND; 18 September 1846; DOI: 10.1215/lt-18460918-TC-RR-01; CL 21:50-51.
Chelsea, 18 Septr, 1846—
Dear Sir,
In Chambers's Edinburgh Journal, about two years ago or more, there was pointed out to me a Letter bearing my signature, and addressed to a young Student, in reply to precisely the same question as yours.1 The young Student had used the somewhat questionable freedom of printing this Letter: of which step whatever I might think, there was no doubt but the Letter (written I knew not and know not how, when, or to whom) was mine; and did express, at some length, and with tolerable exactness, my candid notion as to the matter inquired into. By a little exertion,—at the utmost by writing to Mr Chambers himself if you think it worth while,—I doubt not you may procure that Letter; and to that, for brevity's sake and to avoid repetitions, I will beg leave to refer you.
In general my decided advice is that you should read a great deal of "History"; that you should in all ways earnestly strive to make yourself acquainted with what does exist, or has existed, as fact in this Universe,—properly the one kind of knowledge worth a reasonable creature's attention, so far as I can see;—and should exercise a very vigilant eye indeed against all that of "Fiction," "Poetry," "Art," "Fine Art" &c &c, as we have it in these days, which is threatening to become, or has already become, a very mournful cloud-continent and realm of balderdash to many of us! I mean here what I say; and perhaps you will understand it better when you have thought of it, and experimented on it, longer.
In conclusion, let me repeat to you that noble sentence of the Gospel, true in all noble pursuits of man: "He that seeketh findeth."2 If he will seek,—Yes, forever Yes! But he must seek: he must not go stalking about with eyes open and soul shut, awake only in the stomach of him: that is not "seeking"; there is no "finding," with never so many guide-posts, in a search like that. May a good Genius guide your young hopeful ingenuities, and nerve you with the strength of a man to turn them to account in due time. For the Night cometh!3—
Believe me
Yours with many good wishes

Kiikaapoi History
As with most or all North American Indian Tribes, upon the arrival of the European settlers, the Kickapoo (Kiikaapoi) have endured centuries of opression from the United States government and their continuous efforts to assimilate the Indian people. Despite what many would label as a "nation conquered", the Kiikaapoi, along with hundreds of Indian tribes across North America, have survived and are continuing to preserve our cultures and ancestrial lifestyles to an adequate degree.

• Most plants suffer some degree of herbivore attack and many actively defend themselves against such an event. However, while such defence is generally assumed to be costly, it has sometimes proved difficult to demonstrate the costs of defensive compounds.
• Here, we present a method for analysing growth rates which allows the effects of variation in initial plant size to be properly accounted for and apply it to 30 lines
from a recombinant inbred population of Arabidopsis thaliana. We then relate different measures of relative growth rate (RGR) to damage caused by a specialist
lepidopteran insect and to levels of putative defensive compounds measured on the same lines.
• We show that seed size variation within the recombinant inbred population is large enough to generate differences in RGR, even when no other physiological differences exist. However, once size-standardized, RGR was positively correlated with herbivore damage (fast-growing lines suffered more damage) and was negatively correlated with the concentration of several glucosinolate compounds.
• We conclude that defensive compounds do have a growth cost and that the production of such compounds results in reduced herbivore damage. However, size standardization of RGR was essential to uncovering the growth costs of
defensive compounds.

Terence, this is stupid stuff
by A.E. Housman
Terence, this is stupid stuff Summary
The poem starts out with a jolly (and maybe slightly drunk) guy complaining to a poet named Terence about his poems. He makes fun of how serious and sad his poems are, and says they give him "the belly-ache." He'd much prefer, he tells Terence, to hear something he could "dance to."
In the next section, the poet Terence talks back. He tells this guy that if he wants to dance, he'd be better off drinking beer than reading poems. Terence is teasing the complainer, saying that he'd better stick to booze if it "hurts to think." He reminds him, though, that even if the world looks better when you're drunk, the feeling never lasts. He backs this up by telling his own story about getting drunk and then sobering up again. So, he suggests, if beer only helps for a while then poetry will be more useful in hard times (and, he reminds this guy, there will always be hard times).
To drive the point home, Terence finishes by telling the fable of King Mithridates, who gradually developed an immunity to poison. The idea is that swallowing a little bit of sadness in poetry, a little bit at a time, can make you stronger and more resistant to the pain of life. So poetry really is good for something. Take that, drunk dude!

PULLMAN, Wash. - The Washington State University women's golf team returned to the course this past week to begin preparations for the 2011-12 season.
Third-year head coach Kelli Kamimura and junior Emma Betland talked about the team's goals and expectations for the upcoming fall season.
The Cougars open their fall season with the Circling Raven Golf Clun Collegiate Invite in Worley, Idaho Sept. 12-13 before returning to Pullman to host the Cougar Cup Sept. 19-20 at Palouse Ridge Golf Club. WSU claimed last year's Cougar Cup after Betland birdied the 18th hole to give the Cougs a one-stroke victory over runner-up Washington.

The Peyton Society of Virginia (PSV), in its present form, was established on May 16, 1971 and is the successor organization of the John Peyton Memorial Association which was founded on May 18, 1952. The PSV is one of the most active family organizations in America. An annual reunion and meeting is usually held on the third Sunday of each year at Aquia Church in Stafford County, Virginia. Peyton descendants and their spouses and children, including honorary and associate members are welcome to attend.
Our Society is dedicated to the memory of those brave men and women, our immigrant English ancestors, who left their homes in England in the 17th century, after the ravages of the long Civil Wars between the forces of Charles I and those under Oliver Cromwell, and who boarded small overcrowded sailboats and embarked on a perilous, rough sea voyage of over 3,000 miles to an unknown land, living for months on salt fish, hard tack, and stale keg water, without sanitary facilities of any kind on board, and in storms, existing as best they could between decks in space so narrow they could not stand upright. Nor did it raise their spirits or smooth ruffled tempers to sit idly in the sun in the mid-Atlantic for days during dead calms, waiting for the wind to blow them onward.
To all the courageous men and women, our immigrant English ancestors, we give our profound appreciation and our affection for their legacy to us of the high ideals of Christian faith and morals, perseverance in the face of extreme hardship and adversity, and dedication to duty, honesty, and hard work, which had developed slowly and not without strife and bloodshed in England over the space of a thousand years.

FEDERAL WAY, Wash. - Kristian Ipsen lit up the scoreboard with a 443.40 in the finals to claim the 3-meter crown Friday during the 2013 Pac-12 Conference Men's Diving Championships at the King County Aquatic Center. Ipsen's win was his second in as many days after winning the 1-meter event Thursday evening.
"Our men were really good tonight," Stanford diving coach Rick Schavone said. "Kristian was brilliant and Taylor and Connor are having a very good meet."
Ipsen was joined on the podium by fourth-place Connor Kuremsky (377.80) and eighth-place Taylor Sishc (329.10).
Arizona's Rafael Quintero was second with 400.30 points.
The meet wraps up Saturday with the men's platform event.

CLAIM: Scarlett Johansson "Making a Big Play" for Jeremy Renner
Scarlett Johansson "isn't shy about going after a guy!" begins a piece from Star magazine, which claims the actress is "making a big play for Jeremy Renner as they shoot The Avengers in NYC."
According to a so-called "source" for the tabloid, "She follows him around and is so touchy-feely."
But the Hurt Locker star is "steering clear" of Johansson, says the "source," who explains, "He heard she can be very clingy."
Well, that's embarrassing… for Star.
The mag has been repeatedly mistaken when it comes to Johansson's love life, and this latest tale is no different.
A rep for Renner tells Gossip Cop the tab's story is "ridiculous and so wrong!" explaining that Johansson and Renner are actually just "great friends."
Check out PHOTOS of Scarlett's sexy costume for The Avengers!

There's a protein in some insects such as dragonflies, mosquitoes (!) and locusts which is superior to synthetic rubber according to a July 30, 2013 news release from the American Chemical Society (ACS) [also on EurekAlert],
Here's a link to and a citation for the researchers' biomimicry paper published by ACS Macro Letters,
Kristi Kiick and colleagues explain that scientists discovered resilin a half-century ago in the wing hinges of locusts and elastic tendons of dragonflies. The extraordinary natural protein tops the best synthetic rubbers. Resilin can stretch to three times its original length, for instance, and then spring back to its initial shape without losing its elasticity, despite repeated stretching and relaxing cycles. That's a crucial trait for insects that must flap or jump millions of times over their lifetimes. Scientists first synthesized resilin in 2005 and have been striving to harness its properties in medicine.
Kiick's team describes how their own research and experiments by other scientists are making major strides toward practical applications of resilin. Scientists have modified resilin with gold nanoparticles for possible use in diagnostics, engineered mosquito-based resin to act like human cartilage and developed a hybrid material for cardiovascular applications. "This increasing amount of knowledge gained from studies on natural resilin and resilin-like polypeptides continues to inspire new designs and applications of recombinant resilin-based biopolymers in biomedical and biotechnological applications," the scientists state.
Resilin-Based Materials for Biomedical Applications by Linqing Li and Kristi L. Kiick. ACS Macro Lett., 2013, 2, pp 635–640 DOI: 10.1021/mz4002194 Publication Date (Web): July 11, 2013

Good day:
I hope you can help me with this problem.
Our clients use Websense 6.3.2. They gave maintenance to a switch, and after that, Websense stopped filtering.
First, they had a communication problem, because of the mirroring port, but they solved it. Anyway, they could monitor traffic with TestLogServer, but still having the filtering problem.
Running LogServerConfig we can see their LogServer port is not configured properly, as they have value "1" instead "55805". We can't make any change here, because it says DSN service is not available.
We can't start LogServer and Reporter Scheduler Services, when we try to do it, they start, and after a few seconds, they go down again.
This is what we found on Network Agent settings:
Filtering Service Connection Status:
Filtering Services:
-RUNNING- (IP x.x.x.101)
Active Network Agent Connections:
-NOT RUNNING- (IP x.x.x.101)
Same IP for the 3 values.
There are 3 NICs in these IPs. One with values IP:x.x.x.101, Card: xxxx TM., another with IP: X.X.X.101, Card: xxxx XM, and the last one with IP:none, card: xxxx XM.
XM card is the only one recognized by Traffic Visibility Tool. I dont know if that means TM card, it hasn't been recognized.
Event Viewer shows a LogServer error, which said it cant initiate LogDatabase.
That's the information I have collected until now.
Hope you can help me with this issue.
Thanks for your support.
Kind Regards.
- Are all the Websense services started? - If the Log Server service is running as a domain\admin account, change to LocalSystem to see if the service will start. - If this issue persists, please stop Log server service, delete the "Logserver.exe.p12" file in the \Websense\bin directory, and restart Log server service to see if it works.

I have installed a fresh copy of Kubuntu 13.04. In it I could access bluetooth, wireless without any trouble. But I could not turn this off by just pressing the network button on the keyboard. It is always on. Since I am new to Kubuntu I don't know how to figure this out.
Disable Bluetooth on startup
Source : Jupiter or similar power saving app for 13.04?
And add the following line before exit 0
Save & Exit & Reboot
Your bluetooth is off on startup but you can enable it from bluetooth icon.
Note: Some time my bluetooth icon is showing its on, but actually its turn off, I have check it many time
I can verify that its off by
Wireless Section
Disable Bluetooth (and some other services) from starting up
Solution involves use of inbuilt Graphical tool "Startup Applications". The process involves merely "un-ticking" the relevant services. Thus its a simple and intuitive solution.
This works under Ubuntu 12.10 and should work in 13.04 too, provided the "Startup Application" tool is present in 13.04.
Step 1- Open the tool by typing "Startup Application" in the Dash and clicking on the tool icon. (I hope this tool exists in 13.04 version) -- Accessing Dash-(there may be other ways too) 1) Press Winkey once 2) OR In the quick launch bar, click the first icon.
Step 2- From amongst the listed services, un-tick the Bluetooth service. (Other services can be turned off too, but you should be aware of the consequences)
Now close the tool..that all. The settings would apply next time you restart the OS.
Note: One advantage of disabling services is to free up the RAM and processor load but the downside is that if you require these services, you need to enable them manually.

Secrets of Success
Missing Nate
Saturday, July 05, 2014
I know that know one here knows my friend Nate, but sometimes it is easier to express things when people don't really know me. On July 2, my very good friend Nathan passed away. He was only 31 years old. I am forcibly reminded how unfair life can be. My friend was far from perfect but he had a very rare quality. He loved me unconditionally. It didn't matter to him that I am far far from perfect I am. I know that he is in a better place because God wouldn't dare to keep him out of heaven or I'll kick God's behind when I get there. I also know that for the first time in years he is no longer in a body suffering from cancer.
I'm sitting here crying again even though I know Nate wouldn't want that. He would want me to fight for happiness with everything I am. But I am having trouble dealing with the fact that I will never get to hug him again. Or that we won't curl up on couches or a bed for a tv marathon of idiot programs like Cake boss or Ru Paul's Drag Race. He won't assess my outfit before I go out on a date and give me an honest opinion. He won't stand with me someday when I actually meet someone who loves me and wants to marry me. I won't get to stand with him at his wedding which will never happen now. His partner and I will go spread his ashes next month.
I'm not good at good byes. The nurse in me knows that he is much better off now. We talked about his dying and knew it was coming, but it doesn't make it any easier. Even knowing his time were was limited, we were still making plans.
I have happy memories to keep me going with the sad. This year I had one of the happiest valentines days I have every had. I spent the night with Nate. First we had dinner at my house because he loved my manicotti and then we went to a hotel and casino. We bowled badly while teasing each other and goofing off. I suspect many people would have assumed we were a couple which we always thought was funny as he was gay. But we were so close. He joked that I was the only woman he ever considered going straight for which I took for the huge compliment it was, because he had absolutely no interest in my body, but loved me so much anyway.
God Bless you Nate! I will try to live up to the example you set for me, to not give up on the things that really matter and to live even when you aren't sure it is worth the effort. I'll give you a big hug when I get to heaven. We'll laugh again and spread some more rumors about me getting you pregnant.

Liberal was by far the more aggressive and more athletic team and they proved it in a 68-49 win at Maize South to begin 5A sub state Thursday night. Liberal's full court pressure hounded Maize South who uses freshman and sophomore guards and doesn't have a senior on the team.
But buoyed by playing their first ever 5A sub state game, the Mavericks jumped out to a 13-6 lead only to see the Redskins rip off a 21-2 run after a Drew Gruver timeout.
J.J. Lewis scored 19 points while Britton Abbott added 13 as the Redskins had a decisive advantage on the boards. Blake Stout lit up the Mavericks from the outside with 14 points and four three pointers.
Liberal wins their opening round sub state game for the fifth time in seven years. The 7-13 Skins play at 13-7 Hays Saturday night at 6 on Talkradio 1270. The winner advances to state.

"Glee's" Naya Rivera looked stunning at the January 8, 2014 People's Choice Awards.
The often edgy Rivera went for a surprisingly subtle, but elegant ensemble on the red carpet. She wore a Michael Kors colorblock dress, Stuart Weitzman shoes, a Kotur clutch, and a vintage necklace. The 26-year-old actress also debuted her new blonde hair color.
Rivera's look was striking, yet understated. Wearing a colorblock dress was a bit of a tricky decision, especially since the colors were reminiscent of Neapolitan ice cream. However, the simplicity of the colors really provided a bold, clean, and streamlined look.
The mullet train in the back also added a flair of elegance to this flattering pencil dress, showcasing her slim figure.
The gold/brass necklace added a bold shiny touch, complementing the nude color of the dress, as well as her newly blonde hair. Meanwhile, the muted pink strapped heels provided a nice feminine touch to the ensemble.
Not only did the "Sorry" singer look gorgeous on the red carpet, but she also came out a winner. She and "Glee" co-star , Lea Michele, took home a People's Choice Award for Favorite TV Gal Pals. Meanwhile, co-star Chris Colfer took home an award for Favorite Comedic TV Actor.
Did you love Naya Rivera's colorblock dress? What did you think of her newly blonde hair?

FRESNO, Calif.- In its home opener the Fresno State women's lacrosse team came up short in a hard fought battle against California, 16-8.
Kara Concheck led the Bulldogs with three goals and two assists, finishing with five points on the day. Four others scored in the team effort, including freshman Anjelica Fuccillo with two goals. Fuccillo leads the team with 11 goals this season.
Marcy Levatino came up with four draw controls and leads the team with 16 this year.
Despite the score, the `Dogs did not give up and fought until the very end. Concheck scored two of her three goals of the day in the last five minutes of the game.
"We keep pushing it and we are so close in games," said head coach Jessica Pausewang. "It is really just us completing those 60 minutes that's going to make a difference."
After finishing their first third of the season with a 1-4 record, the Bulldogs now head to the East Coast to kick off their five game road streak starting with Albany on March 21 at 12 p.m. PT.

I read that fillers can be used (off-label) to eliminate dark circles - have you done this and if so, what was the result?
The appearance of dark circles under the eyes is often due to loss of collagen in the skin and decreased underlying support of fat, muscle, and bone. Fillers in this area improve the architecture and help to stimulate collagen, resulting in less shadowing and improved skin texture. Hyaluronic acid (Restylane, Belotero, and Juvederm) is most commonly used. Topical products such as retinol and vitamin C will also help to preserve the collagen content. Click here to read more on what you can do at home to minimize those dark circles.

I am a 58 year-old Asian woman and my question is how to get rid of the dark patches that run along my jawline? In the summer it gets much darker than in the winter.
It sounds like you have a common condition called melasma. This darkening of the skin is caused by abnormal activation of pigment producing cells, and the cause can vary. In your case, it may be related to perimenopausal hormonal shifts. There are several effective therapies for melasma, such as Fraxel Dual laser treatments, chemical peels and the use of bleaching creams. However, the most critical aspect of managing melasma pre- and post-treatment is avoiding sun exposure and implementing strict photo protective practices.

I've been interested in getting laser hair removal for many years, but I'm concerned about the safety of it. Anytime I do research online, there are so many types of lasers that I get scared about choosing the right one. What's the safest and least painful way to treat my unwanted hair?
Laser hair reduction relies on technology that has been used for many years. It is safe and effective, when performed by a clinician with sufficient experience. In my opinion, the LightSheer Duet is the laser of choice. It combines the best technologies available to provide quick, effective, and remarkably painless results. No topical anesthesia (or 'numbing cream') is needed. Large areas of unwanted hair growth can be treated quickly.

I am 72 and take pretty good care of myself. However, my hands are a dead give-away. Do you think Radiesse can help?
This is an excellent question. The hands are an often neglected area. Targeted therapies to the hands can produce outstanding cosmetic results. Radiesse is currently FDA approved for facial wrinkles and folds. However, it may be used off label in hand rejuvenation to reduce skin laxity and to provide a plumping effect. Additional therapies can also enhance treatment by addressing the surface changes associated with aging.

Do you use the Lumenis Ultrapulse TotalFX laser to treat deep acne scarring?
Yes. Fractionated carbon dioxide lasers like the Lumenis TotalFX can provide significant, long-lasting improvement in the appearance of acne scarring. On average, patients can expect to see a 50-60% improvement after a single laser treatment, although this can vary depending on skin type. The recovery period following this treatment is approximately 7-10 days. Some redness resembling a mild sunburn can persist for several weeks. Long-term studies have shown that the results with fractionated CO2 treatments persist for many years with 80% overall satisfaction.

I have a very thin face and wish to look a bit fatter. Can that be accomplished without surgery ? Thanks
Noninvasive fillers are an excellent solution for the thinning face. They are used to address the mild volume descent of the cheeks and mid face that comes with overall loss of underlying fat, muscle, and bone. We first begin to notice this "gentle deflation" in the nasolabial folds, the jowl area, and the chin. To see my explanation on Meet The Experts - Skin Preservation After Forty, click here.
February 22, 2010
How do you know what kind of face cleanser you should use?
If your skin is "dry", I suggest avoiding a sudsing, non-soap-based wash. You are better off with a gentle non-sudsing formula (I like cetaphil gentle cleanser and philosophy "Pure" cleanser). If your skin is "normal" I like a mild cleanser- "Purpose" is a fantastic choice. If your skin is "oily," I like a wash with a touch of salicylic or glycolic acid. Neutrogena's "Oil Free Acne Wash" is an easily obtainable remedy for mildly acne prone skin.
February 22, 2010
How long should you wash for before you rinse?
For simple daily cleansing I would suggest taking a few moments beyond make-up removal. The skin responds to tactile feedback. A few massaging motions over the cheeks, around the eyes, have been shown to increase blood flow as well as collagen production.
I would suggest a 2 minute contact time with salycyclic acid over the counter products (based on my own experience), but this can vary. Try 30 seconds and see how your face feels. If you can tolerate more, proceed! (If it is irritated, wash it off and use a simple moisturizer.)
With drug store retinoic acid creams I suggest starting slowly! Hey, it is your face after all. Consult a dermatologist for the best regimen for you.
What are the steps? Is it wet your face, lather up cleanser, wash? Anything else we're missing?
When you are on the right regimen this should be as simple as lather, rinse, repeat! OK, then moisturize!

Airing on TCM September 5 at 11 PM EST
Following the huge success of their iconic musical "42nd Street", director Lloyd Bacon and choreographer Busby Berkeley topped it the next year with a bigger, better film: "Footlight Parade". James Cagney welcomed the opportunity to break free of his popular gangster persona and return to his song-and-dance roots as the main character, Chester Kent, a director of musical prologues that are performed in movie theaters before the main feature. He is given the opportunity to get a contract with a producer, but he has to be able to put on three new prologues at three different theaters on the same night, with only three days to rehearse them. Chester keeps the entire cast and crew locked in his offices over the entire rough rehearsal period, paranoid that his rival will steal his ideas otherwise.
Cagney is at his best in this movie. He's fast-talking and charismatic, just as he is in his gangster roles, but it's wonderful seeing those attributes applied to a completely different kind of character. His frequent costar Joan Blondell plays Chester's secretary Nan, and their chemistry and Blondell's wit are top notch. Besides Blondell, "Footlight Parade" includes many of the same cast members as "42nd Street" and "Gold Diggers of 1933", another hit musical featuring Berkeley numbers. Dick Powell plays the show's lead Scotty; Ruby Keeler plays secretary-turned-leading lady Bea Thorn; and Guy Kibbee plays producer Silas Gould.
Berkeley's dance numbers are even more ambitious here than they were in "42nd Street". Like those other similar musicals, the numbers are saved until the very end, when we see all three completed prologues performed back-to-back: "Honeymoon Hotel", "Shanghai Lil" (in which Cagney gets to show off his mad dance skills), and "By a Water". The latter is the quintessential Berkeley number; its human waterfall is an iconic image in film history, and is even showcased in the Great Movie Ride at Walt Disney World.
All of these factors, combined with the film's fast pace and the risqué humor that can only be found in Pre-Code movies (like that priceless moment when Blondell tells Clair Dodd's Vivian Rich "As long as they've got sidewalks, you've got a job!") make "Footlight Parade" not only the best Busby Berkeley musical—and he had a hand in a lot of great ones—but also one of the best musicals of all time.

text: While the pro-immigration leadership in the Senate continues to seek bipartisan support for comprehensive immigration reform, just a couple of months ago Senate veterans John Kerry (D-MA) and Richard Lugar (R-IN) successfully drafted and introduced the Startup Visa Act of 2010, a bill aimed to create jobs in the U.S. while enhancing the United States' position in the global economy. Specifically, the Act would allow foreign entrepreneurs looking to start businesses in the U.S to qualify for permanent residency on a conditional two-year basis if a sponsoring U.S. venture capitalist invests $250,000 in the immigrant's startup company. After the conditional residency period, the foreign entrepreneur would need to demonstrate that the business generated at least five full time jobs in the U.S. and attracted a $1 million initial investment or reached revenues of $1 million in order to have the condition on residency removed. The new category would supplement and draw from existing visa numbers under the current, yet underutilized EB-5 employment creation (fifth preference) category for alien entrepreneurs.

Identity Protection and Online Security
ANB will never solicit for personal identification information via the Internet or telephone.
These days, there are multiple ways identity thieves can gain access to your personal identification information and use it against you. ANB wants to help you stay smart about identity theft, so we've put together a thorough overview about:
- Basic identity protection (see below)
- Protecting your credit card from identity thieves
- E-mail and online security
- Phone Scams
- Fraud Alert
- Customer Alert
Basic identity protection
- Carry only necessities on a daily basis. Items like a Social Security card should be stored safely at home.
- Make photocopies of the vital contents of your wallet. Copy both sides of your driver's license, credit cards, etc. If your wallet is stolen, these copies will let you know what's missing — plus you'll have all of the account numbers and key phone numbers necessary to report the theft.
- Carefully protect your credit card.
- Shred documents containing personal or financial information before discarding. Most fraud and identity-theft incidents happen as a result of mail and garbage theft.
- Go paperless! By signing up for ANB Online Banking, you can receive Online Statements or downloadable E-statements free of charge. How does this help? The fewer personal documents you have sent through the mail, the less chance there is for possible fraud.
- Do not provide your Social Security number online or by phone unless absolutely necessary. If your Social Security number is requested (to sign up for a service, for example), ask if you can provide some other identifier instead.

Today, Hartford Books Examiner reviews FaceOff (Simon & Schuster, $26.99), edited by David Baldacci.
Out tomorrow (6/3/14) in print and digital editions, FaceOff is the newest anthology from the International Thriller Writers (ITW)—an honorary society of authors who write books that are broadly classified as "thrillers" that serves to help debut and midlist writers advance their careers. Because ITW does not charge membership fees, its anthologies were first conceptualized as a primary source of operating capital, and continue to generate funds that support the abovementioned mission as well as promoting literacy, advancing worthy organizations, supporting libraries, and advocating the genre.
FaceOff is a unique offering in that it teams up some of the genre's most esteemed authors in stories that allow their beloved protagonists to combine forces in combatting crime—a conceit that would have been otherwise impossible had it not been for the fact that ITW's model requires that all submissions be donated with proceeds benefitting the organization. The full list of pairings: Dennis Lehane vs. Michael Connelly, Ian Rankin vs. Peter James, R.L. Stine vs. Douglas Preston & Lincoln Child, M.J. Rose vs. Lisa Gardner, Steve Martini vs. Linda Fairstein, Jeffery Deaver vs. John Sanford, Heather Graham vs. F. Paul Wilson, Raymond Khoury vs. Linwood Barclay, John Lescroart vs. T. Jefferson Parker, Steve Berry vs. James Rollins, Lee Child vs. Joseph Finder …
An inspired concept, no doubt—but does it live up to potential or fall victim to its own grandiosity? I am happy to report that, in large part, FaceOff is a resounding success. The eleven stories written by twenty-three authors—an odd number, given that longtime collaborators Preston and Child pit their formidable FBI agent Aloysius Pendergast against Stine's … are you ready for this? … Ventriloquist Dummy, Slappy—are bookended by powerhouse Boston-centered entries from Dennis Lehane/Michael Connelly and Lee Child/Joseph Finder. Neither disappoint, with the former finding Patrick Kenzie and Harry Bosch in an unlikely alliance against a kidnapper/sexual predator and the latter bringing Jack Reacher and Nick Heller together in a city bar, where intuition tells them that there's more at stake than the result of the Red Sox/Yankees game that they've come to watch. (A faceoff within a faceoff, if ever there was one!)
But it's some of the stories that fall between these two that provide the most pleasant surprises. For instance, Heather Graham and F. Paul Wilson team up on "Infernal Night," which features Graham's relative newcomer, Michael Quinn, and Wilson's enduring Repairman Jack, neither of whom are bound by the conventional rules of law enforcement; they find themselves duking it out in a mausoleum-based battle that spans centuries (and spiritual realms). Another standout is "Pit Stop," which brings Linwood Barclay's Glen Garber, home renovator and single-father, and Raymond Khoury's FBI agent, Sean Reilly, together in pursuit of a domestic terrorist who has hijacked Garber's truck—along with his daughter. A few of the entries fall short of the mark in that they feel lengthy and over-contrived, but these represent the minority.
Each story is prefaced with remarks that introduce both the authors and their characters (for the benefit of uninitiated readers) and provide insights into the inspiration for, and development of, each collaboration. Surpassing customary "filler," these short segments are often nearly as compelling as the narratives themselves. Further, the project boasts an introduction from Baldacci, who seems every bit as awe-inspired by the all-star assemblage as any common thriller enthusiast would be, and biographies of the participants. (An added bonus is that several of the contributors are able to indulge their own interests, whether it be baseball or fishing, in ways that further distinguish this collection as unique.)
FaceOff is an impressive accomplishment that celebrates the genre in both style and substance. Enthusiasts will dig it for what it is—an abundance of chills and thrills delivered by an inspired lineup of literary heavyweights—while casual readers just might be tempted to pick it up for the shear novelty of it all. Regardless of motivation, they will find themselves turning pages late into the night. This just may be the optimal summer read—though it's packing heat all on its own …

The bayonet is largely a weapon of last resort - when the rifle jams, the ammunition runs out or the fighting gets to close quarters, you've still got something sharp and pointy to get the job done old-school. They've pretty much disappeared from today's more high-tech battlefields, but that doesn't mean there aren't mavericks out there still pushing the envelope - and we can't think of many inventions we've seen lately that would be more exciting to a 10-year-old schoolboy than this: the chainsaw bayonet. Whether you view this as blatant redneck idiocy or the coolest weapon in the world will largely depend on how much you enjoy wanton destruction - and if there's a more appropriate gun out there to be included in Gears Of War 3, we'd love to hear about it.Read More
The original Gears of War arrived to universal acclaim in 2006, including our Game of the Year award, for it's gritty look and feel, beautifully tuned gameplay mechanics and ridiculously addictive multiplayer game. Two years later (to the day) Epic's beast is back - and it's badder than ever. Read on for our full review.Read More
February 26, 2007 Last Friday, more than 350 industry types hit Doltone House in Sydney, Australia for the Interactive Entertainment Awards.

WXYZ Editorial: Vote YES for Detroit Library, SMART Millage & Proposal 1
WXYZ Detroit - The August 5th Michigan Primary is a little more than two weeks away. There will be a lot to choose from but three ballot proposals need, and deserve, your support!
In Detroit, voters will be asked to renew a 10-year Public Library Millage. The 4.0 mills account for 86 percent of the library's funding. Each day, hundreds of people use the various library resources and their more than 700 computers. It's a vital link to literacy, employment and the world's information highway.
Since Proposal L is a renewal, there will be no additional cost to taxpayers. We encourage you to vote YES!
In Wayne, Oakland and Macomb Counties, the future of the SMART bus system will be in your hands. The chief executives for all three counties are recommending increasing the 0.59 millage to 1 mill. Thousands of people each week depend on SMART for their jobs and quality of life. It is vital we update the aging buses and keep the fleet rolling past 2015. We urge you to vote YES!
And finally, all voters in Michigan will get a chance to cast their ballots on complicated Proposal 1. Most important, it doesn't raise taxes. In short, it gets rid of the personal property tax for most businesses and reorganizes the Michigan Use Tax to make-up for cities' lost revenue. It would help create jobs, grow small businesses, and provide dedicated revenue to local police, fire, EMS and school districts.
Please vote YES on Proposal 1, SMART and Proposal L. All three move Michigan forward!
I'm Mike Murri, Station Manager
Broadcast: July 17 - 20, 2014

Today, some might take this historic strip for granted to parade the streets for a good club-crawl. But those that have experienced this chic strip with all its mystery and history will never forget its value. The Strip was once the Hollywood playground to the familiar faces of Marilyn Monroe, Greta Garbo, and Clark Gable. Not to mention, the home of infamous nightclubs and bars. Today, across 1.6 miles of strip, there lie at least five bars and clubs that were, and still are, the top five.
The Bar Marmont, at the famous Chateau Marmont hotel, is one of the most legendary bars in Los Angeles for locals and celebrities alike. Drinks can be expensive, but nothing beats a treat to yourself and the likely chance to spot some of Hollywood's A List celebrities. Aside from the bar, the hotel offers a small restaurant, which serves gourmet California cuisine. Bar Marmont is located on 8171 Sunset Blvd. West Hollywood, CA 90046.
Whisky A Go Go is definitely a Hollywood landmark and without a doubt Sunset Boulevards most famous establishment. This bar and club venue first opened its doors in 1964 and, for the past 70 years, has hosted the greatest musical icons. Artists such as Led Zeppelin, The Foo Fighters, The Doors, and every other band you can think of, have graced the stage at Whisky A Go Go. If you're in the mood for a good show, The Whisky is the place to go; located on 8901 Sunset Blvd. West Hollywood, CA 90069.
The Sky Bar is ideal for a luxury lounge scene. The bar wraps you in long flowing drapes, soft cushions, views of Sunset Boulevard, and a sparkling pool, all nestled under the stars above. The open-air bar will make you feel liberated and relaxed; as if you're on an exotic vacation. Sky Bar may not be as historically established as the other venues, but it certainly has made a popular name for itself over the years. If you arrive during the later hours, getting past the doorman can be difficult. The Sky Bar is located on 8440 Sunset Blvd. West Hollywood, CA 90069.
House of Blues is architecturally unique in its structure. The building is covered with metal, framed by a wooden fence, and has a landmark chimneystack. The House of Blues has an intense, action-packed concert calendar, a members-only club known as The Foundation Room, and ample space to host private events up to 500 guests. And if all this isn't enough, take a seat and dine at the Crossroads Restaurant. The House of Blues is located on 8430 Sunset Blvd. West Hollywood, CA 90069.
The Rainbow Bar and Grill, also known as The Rainbow Room, first opened on April 16th, 1972 with a party for Elton John. From there, the restaurant became a frequent celebrity hang out. The food is homemade offering old-fashioned spaghetti meatballs, house salads, and garlic bread to name a few favorites. There are two bars: one inside (dark and broody), and one outside (loud and fun). If neither bar tickles your fancy, walk up the steps to a cozy club called "Over the Rainbow," where you'll find a full bar, dance floor, and DJ booth. On the walls are gold records, pictures, and memorabilia of rockers from the past. The Rainbow Room has been a main contributor to the exciting history of Sunset Boulevard. It is located on 9015 W. Sunset Blvd. Los Angeles, CA 90069.

Though they are accustomed to fighting off dragons and giants in World of Warcraft, or superpowered villains in Champions Online, or shapeshifting aliens in Star Trek Online, there is perhaps nothing MMORPG players fear more than the dreaded nerf. It usually doesn't take very long after patch notes are released for a major game update for someone (perhaps several someones) to take to the official forums for the game and begin complaining about nerfs to their favorite character class or weapon or game mechanic. So what exactly is a nerf?
A nerf (taking its name from the brand of soft toys that usually don't result in injuries among kids playing with them) is simply a change to a game (MMORPG or otherwise) that reduces the effectiveness of some part of the game. Though there are several reasons a game's developers may choose to implement such a change, balancing the game is usually the cause. This is often seen when developers nerf character powers or abilities. Sometimes a particular game mechanic will be abused by players (such as unintended rapid experience gain in the City of Heroes Mission Architect system) and developers will nerf that game mechanic.
On the opposite end of the game development spectrum is the buff, an improvement to some game element. In large game updates, there are almost always both buffs and nerfs to various character classes or systems.
The term nerf apparently originated in Ultima Online, one of the first MMORPGs. According to a post on UO lead designer Raph Koster's website, the game's developers had reduced the effectiveness of swords in melee combat. Players then complained that it was like their characters were using Nerf-brand swords.

Bon Secours Richmond Named A Top Ten 2009 Working Mother 100 Best Company
For 11th Consecutive Year, Health System Ranked National Leader for Working Mothers
RICHMOND, Va. (Sept. 22, 2009) – Defying expectations in this time of economic stress, the Bon Secours Richmond Health System has been named among the Top Ten 2009 Working Mother 100 Best Companies for its unwavering dedication to family-friendly benefits. Bon Secours Richmond has been named to Working Mother's prestigious list consecutively since 1999, earning a spot in the coveted Top Ten in both 2006 and 2009.
"Being recognized as a Top Ten employer in the nation by Working Mother is a true honor for Bon Secours Richmond," said Peter J. Bernard, CEO of Bon Secours Virginia, which is comprised of both Bon Secours Richmond and Bon Secours Hampton Roads. "The concentrated effort our health system has made in recent years to transform our culture into one of a world-class status shows forth in this recognition. We are proud to be considered a leading company for such an integral part of our workforce population and to continue to live out our mission of providing good help to all."
Even in these tough economic times, the Working Mother 100 Best Companies represent organizations which utilize creative programs that adeptly help employees in all areas of their lives. Bon Secours Richmond was considered a standout in this area for bucking the trends of economic pullback with the expansion of benefits including:
- Additional leave for new parents
- Creation of economic and fuel assistance programs
- Increase in health system's minimum wage
- Enhanced workforce development opportunities
- Stronger commitment to flexible work arrangements
Bon Secours Richmond and the other winning companies lead the way in pioneering programs that support families, with 100 percent offering flextime, on-site lactation and telecommuting; and 98 percent offering job-sharing and wellness programs — numbers that dwarf those seen nationwide. In addition, financial programs available to the 100 Best employees are on the rise, a much needed boost for families in today's economy. These include tuition reimbursement, retirement planning and pre-tax FSAs for childcare.
By contrast, national numbers* are dismal, with just 25 percent of companies offering on-site lactation (vs. 100 percent of the 100 Best), 11 percent with stress reduction programs (vs. 96 percent of the 100 Best), 35 percent offering health insurance for part-timers (vs. 99 percent of the 100 Best) and 16 percent offering job-sharing (vs. 98 percent of the 100 Best).
"The Working Mother 100 Best Companies stand head and shoulders above the rest," said Carol Evans, CEO of Working Mother Media. "For example, in the last year, we saw the number of companies nationwide offering flexible work arrangements diminish five percentage points, while the 100 Best Companies stayed steady at 100 percent. The 100 Best provide leadership where and when we need it most, furnishing a framework of support for working families during good times and bad. If all companies adopted these best practices, more families could weather the economic storm."
Profiles of the 100 Best Companies, as well as national comparisons, are in the October issue of Working Mother and at workingmother.com.
"Moms are increasingly becoming the sole breadwinners in many households as men lose their jobs at a higher rate than women," said Suzanne Riss, Editor in Chief, Working Mother magazine. "Now more than ever, our readers and all working mothers need the support of their employers. By offering benefits like paid maternity leave, the ability to work from home and wellness programs, as well as programs that enhance financial well-being, our 100 Best are helping to reduce stress in the busy lives of working moms. These companies epitomize family-friendly support at its best."
Now in its 24th year, the Working Mother 100 Best Companies program draws attention to the significant contributions working mothers make to industries and the companies that recognize the importance of tapping this essential labor pool. "We have faith that someday the programs found at the 100 Best Companies will become business norms offered by all companies," Evans said. "When the economy recovers, lagging companies will lose out on a powerful group of dedicated employees — working moms."
Companies were selected for the 2009 Working Mother 100 Best Companies based on an extensive application with more than 500 questions on workforce, compensation, childcare, flexibility programs, leave policies and more. It also surveys the usage, availability and tracking of programs, as well as the accountability of managers who oversee them. Seven areas were measured and scored: workforce profile, benefits, women's issues and advancement, childcare, flexible work, parental leave and company culture. For this year's 100 Best, particular weight was given to benefits, flexibility and parental leave.
