Ammo here in Missouri has generally been in spotty supply the last 18 months or so. Wal-Marts are still primariliy devoid of pistol ammo and it flies off of the shelf when it comes in. I am always looking for 9MM, 40 SW, 357, and 380 for a buddy's Beretta and I only see 380 in very limited quantities at the gun stores. One guy working at a local store claimed that at least one manufacturer shared a single line for 9MM and 380 and the 9s took priority.

Family Medical Leave Act
I am an assistant professor in the CSU system, and have recently utilized the Family Medical Leave Act (FMLA) to stay home with my infant daughter. Remarkably, I am one of the first women in the CSU system to do this -- and there has been a significant amount of confusion surrounding my desire to take a 12 week unpaid leave.
Several complicated issues have arisen. First, it is the university's position that the 20 day paid maternity leave runs concurrent with the FMLA (thus one cannot take the 20 days paid maternity and then another 12 weeks unpaid FML). Second, a colleague of mine had a baby in July(outside the regular academic year) and was denied 20 days of paid maternity leave. Third, and most vexing -- there seems to be various interpretations of the above two rules and others related to personal leave, with different campuses/administrators treating similar situated faculty differently.
I would appreciate hearing from any one who has used FMLA, especially anyone in an academic setting. It was my understanding that maternity/child birth is considered a "disability" and therefore any leave connected with this event cannot automatically trigger FMLA. Moreover, the decision to have the leaves run concurrently would seem to circumvent the intent of the FMLA -- specifically to allow an individual 12 weeks of unpaid leave to care for a family member. Although I am myself an attorney, I have no experience with this area of the law --and am trying to find a lawyer with whom I might confer.
While my own circumstances have worked out well-- thanks to my daughter's well-timed birth, I am deeply troubled by the university's policy and concerned about the precedent being set for other faculty.
I am not able to comment on policies regarding having family leave and maternity leave run concurrently since I did not take that option. The sick days have worked for me but take time to build up. It is also possible to get other people to donate their sick days to you. Madeline
It seems to me that you are dealing with three issues. First is the no-one-knows-anything syndrome, second is disability/paid maternity leave nexus, and third is the issue of running disability/paid maternity contiguous with FMLA leave.
No one knows anything syndrome was and is frighteningly common, and doesn't really indicate that no one at CSU has ever done this. While I am tempted to see this as a conspiracy to guilt parents out of taking leave, rationally I think it really reflects that the human resources people who administer benefits are usually not very experienced; this is particularly true if you have a departmental/divisional HR person. Differences in treatment often arise from direct managers pushing the HR person to creatively push the envelope of what the policy permits --UC has to give you four months, but MAY give additional time, and it is the administration of these optional leaves that is most likely to be abused. Regardless of this, I am sure CSU has a WRITTEN policy that you can look at, if you have not already done so. Other avenues include looking for a union shop steward at your institution who knows how the policy for non-academics is constituted (universities are usually reluctant to give fewer benefits to academics than they do to represented employees!) and might be able to refer you to a CSU-experienced labor lawyer; or to go through CSU's formal grievance process which should give you the right to access redacted records of other employees' FMLA leaves.
Disability/maternity leave I am confused by the 20-day paid maternity leave. I suspect it is actually some form of disability leave, probably paid by an insurance policy. The state of California requires employers to ensure that all employees receive disability insurance, and sets parameters for the payment of benefits. At UC, the standard leave premium is paid by the university, with reductions in the waiting period and increases in the premium paid for as per the employee's choice and out of their paycheck. Standard disability provides for leave on partial pay for 4 weeks before your due date (or as of the date your doctor says you are unable to work) and six weeks after, however, the standard waiting period between the time you are 'disabled' and when pay begins is pretty long --20 or 30 days; I always pay extra for the 5-day waiting period myself and am unclear on the worst-case scenario. Disability plans usually require you to use up your sick leave before disability payments begin. I think your 'paid maternity leave' was really 8-10 weeks of disability minus 4-6 weeks of waiting period. If CSU's paid maternity leave is really personal disability, the extent to which a seasonal employee is entitled to payment is going to depend on whether CSU pays premiums for 12 months as well as other factors like whether the other professor can show she normally works during the summer. (If a male professor has a heart attack on July 31, when does he start receiving disability payments?)
Lastly, I am afraid that concurrent running of disability leave and FMLA is consistent with both the state and federal laws and every personnel policy I've looked at (even if it is incredibly short-sighted). Medical conditions which trigger disability over a threshhold (usually around 5 days) do trigger FMLA protections. FMLA is the Family AND Medical Leave Act, and is meant to provide for both long-term leave for employees as well as time to look after family members. An employee is only entitled to a *total* of 4 months during the 24 (?) month period. Again, you would have to look at the case of the 50-year-old male professor who has a heart attack: does he get 3 months of disability, and then 4 additional months of FMLA leave?
Good luck sorting this out --and hope you're prepared to become your local expert on the use of FMLA leave! Chris
Unfortunately, your 12 weeks of Family Medical Leave ACT begins the day you leave work due to your disability. During the period that you are disabled, your FMLA runs CONCURRENTLY with your PDL leave for your own pregnancy related medical condition. Once you no longer are disabled, whatever balance of your 12 weeks FMLA entitlement converts to FMLA leave for baby bonding purposes. If you are only disabled due to pregnancy and childbirth for 8 weeks, 8 weeks of your FMLA leave will be for your own medical condition, and you will have 4 weeks left of FMLA time remaining for baby bonding purposes.
There is one law that you did not mention in your email, the California Family Rights Act ("CFRA"). The CFRA provides you with up to 12 weeks of leave for baby bonding purposes. Unlike the FMLA, CFRA leave DOES NOT run concurrently with PDL leave (hang in there...this stuff gets confusing) or that portion of your FMLA leave that is related to your pregnancy related disability. CFRA leave begins for baby bonding purposes, AFTER you are no longer are disabled from pregnancy. It may run concurrently with your FMLA baby bonding leave, depending on whether or not your already used your 12 week FMLA entitlement due to your own pregnancy related disability. Your question regarding your employer's policy of paying employees for 20 days is more of a pay question than a PDL/FMLA/CFRA question. All of the leaves are unpaid, however, you may use any paid time off (vacation, sick leave, family sick leave), depending on how much accrued time paid off you have accrued and your employer's policy.
Good luck sorting all of this out. I am an in house employment attorney and I usually find myself drawing time lines to sort it all out, depending on the facts of each situation. Stacy

The latter is aimed at staff but may be relevant. Judy
Just to add to the issue, there is another state guideline (CPHRA, I believe?) that protects your job while you're pregnant, before you deliver. Hope that helps! Carrie
You also may want to order a copy of the Pocket Guide to the Family and Medical Leave Acts. Published by the California Public Employee Relations Program (CPER) here at U.C. It's $8. You can order it from jorders at ucpress.ucop.edu or from our website at http://www.iir.berkeley.edu/~iir/cper/cper.html . I hope this helps. Stefanie
You need to consult a family law lawyer. They are the ones who will be able to tell you what can and can't be done. And you are right. It is not meant to run concurrently. You will have to force the university to take a good look at the act and they will see that they are leaving themselves wide open for a lawsuit. One phone call from a family law lawyer will most likely result in instant compliance. It sounds like the University system needs to adopt one ruling for all schools.
FMLA of 1993 which requires an employer with more than 50 employees to allow an employee up to 12 weeks of leave for birth, adoption, foster care placement and illness for themselves and/or eligible family members.
California Pregnancy Disability Leave (PDL) An Employee may take up to four months of medically necessary leave which will be CONCURRENT with FMLA if eligible
California Family Rights Act of 1991. If eligible you may take an additional 12 weeks of family and medical leave for reasons unrelated to pregnancy disabilty. This may be to care for a newborn or recently placed foster child.
UC has an excellent fact sheet: Pregnancy and Newborn Fact Sheet #3104 revised 8/99
Under another California statute, if you become disabled due to a pregnancy-related condition (including childbirth), you also get up to 4 additional months of unpaid leave to accommodate that disability. The pregnancy disability leave covers the period that you are disabled immediately following the birthing process (presumed to be 6 weeks). But it does not cover taking care of a newborn.
So, if you have a normal pregnancy (and are not disabled before giving birth), you usually get a total of 18 weeks of unpaid leave (6 weeks of pregnancy disability leave due disability caused by childbirth, plus 12 weeks of FMLA leave to care for the birth of a newborn).

Get samples of new products from your vet -- ask and ye may receive.
Consider dietary improvements. Check with your vet as to the advisability of switching your pet from its regular food to one tailored to it -- for example, a type of food geared to pets that are senior, overweight or prone to urinary tract problems. Upgrading to higher-quality premium foods can pay off in health dividends, Dr. Kaplan advises. Feed your pet food specific to its species for optimal health. If you have a hamster, for example, feed it hamster food -- not nibbles from your nachos.
Be your own pet (health) detective. You know about The Merck Manual, which lists symptoms of people's medical conditions? Well, check out the online veterinary version merckvetmanual.com to do the same type of detective work for your pet.
Use free resources such as your local pet-supply store. Personnel tend to be animal lovers with a fairly good layman's knowledge regarding a variety of critters. But even for questions that require a more expert opinion, they may point you in the right direction. Additionally, some stores sponsor day-with-a-vet events.
Read, listen and watch. Take advantage of other free resources, such as pet publications and TV and radio programs. Sue Moyer, an office manager with a multi-cat household, cites animal expert Warren Eckstein's national call-in radio program thepetshow.com as a valuable source of information. "Among other things, I learned how to clip my cats' nails," she says of the difficult procedure.
More is less good when it comes to stuffing your pet with vittles. Overfeeding is an especially common problem with fish, and the results can be catastrophic. The uneaten food rots in the tank, creating a toxic environment. Overfeeding landlubber pets can create the same health problems it can in people. "Studies in dogs have shown that a slightly underweight dog has fewer health problems and a longer lifespan than overweight dogs," notes Dr. Kaplan.
Don't let your pets run loose or unsupervised. Have fenced-in areas for four-footers, who should never be out of your sight. (In addition to the dangers of nature, there's the terrible one posed by pet-nappers.) Dogs should always be leashed, fenced or supervised.
As for cats, they unfortunately fall from windows of apartment buildings so often, the phenomenon has a name: high-rise syndrome. Jewelry designer Jon Fjerkendstad found out about this the hard way. While he knew never to open his windows wide enough for his beloved Siamese Mickey to fall through, a thoughtless visitor, warned not to, did just that.
"The emergency visit cost about $350," recalls Fjerkenstad, who immediately afterward rigged his windows to lock in place. The happy news is that Mickey recovered and lived to nearly 20.
The bottom line? Your pets are your best buds. To keep them healthy, you don't have to be wealthy!

In a major show of force, the Democratic primary winners held a unification rally at UCF and attracted — 300 people. I do believe there were more candidates than party faithful.
Now, if they were preparing to fight the Battle of Thermopylae and the 300 attendees were Spartans, they'd be good to go. But in the battle against Marco Rubio and Rick Scott, I don't think so.
The Dems obviously have an excitement deficit. I belie their earlier rally in Tampa had a similar turnout.
So if you added up both rallies, and multiplied the attendance by three, you would get the number of port-o-lets at Glenn Beck's rally.

College Hockey:Gibson, Curry Force BU-NU Deadlock
BOSTON — For the second time in nine days, Northeastern and Boston University skated to a 2-2 tie through regulation. This time, though, there simply wasn't enough overtime to render a decision.
In a battle of two solid goaltenders, BU and NU skated to a 2-2 tie in front of a boisterous crowd of 3,249 at Matthews Arena. The tie eliminates Northeastern from home-ice contention in Hockey East, and keeps BU one point behind first-place New Hampshire heading down the home stretch.
Both Northeastern's Keni Gibson (36 saves) and BU's John Curry (28 saves) played spectacularly, particularly late in the game. Gibson, in particular, kept history from repeating itself with a glove save late in overtime on BU's Chris Bourque.
Nine days ago, in the Beanpot championship game, it was Bourque who ended things late in the first 20-minute overtime to give BU its 26th Beanpot championship. Wednesday, with BU on the power play and 1:08 left in overtime, Bourque teed up a blast from the point that was destined for the top corner of the net until Gibson flashed the glove to rob the rookie.
"I saw [Bourque] when he was winding up [for the shot] and he did a good job to get it through traffic," said Gibson of the game-saving stop. "I was able to shift over and pick it off. I was being aggressive and had enough time to react to it."
Another key save for Gibson came with 31.2 seconds remaining in the second period. David Van der Gulik, already with two goals in the game, was bidding for the hat trick to put BU up 3-1. Gibson, though, flashed the glove once again, this time from his back. Staying within a goal, NU tied the game early in the third.
"I got the rebound and shot it on the ice then got another rebound," said Van der Gulik of the shot. "Gibson was in the right position with his glove and was fortunate for that."
"There were a couple of goals tonight that I wanted back," said Gibson. "So I thought I owed it to the guys to make a couple of big saves."
Gibson's counterpart for BU, Curry, as well was forced to stand tall in the nets. He stonewalled Yale Lewis on a partial breakaway early in the second. And after Northeastern tied the game early in the third, Curry stopped a backhander by Ray Ortiz from point-blank range.
"It was kind of the Gibson-Curry show tonight," said NU coach Bruce Crowder. "It was an exciting game to watch."
A slow opening quickly changed to end-to-end hockey once Boston University got on the board at 13:18. Van der Gulik banged home the rebound of a Peter MacArthur deflection as the puck sat untouched at the left post.
Less than four minutes later, Northeastern tied things on the power play when Jared Mudryk carbon-copied MacArthur, gathering the rebound of a Donny Grover shot and pushing it past the fallen Curry into the open net at 17:06 to knot the game.
Despite holding a decisive 10-5 advantage in shots and territorially, BU was unable to muster any more offense, thanks mostly to solid goaltending by Gibson, and headed to the locker room tied at one.
"The first period was terrific for us and played well," said BU coach Jack Parker, "but we came out tied 1-1 so that wasn't a good sign."
The Terriers wasted little time, though, extending the lead in the second. Van der Gulik scored 40 seconds into the middle frame, wheeling from behind the net and firing a low, quick shot that surprised Gibson and sailed right through his legs to give BU a 2-1 lead.
Throughout the period BU had the better chances to break the game open but constantly ran into Gibson.
As time expired in the second, BU's Kenny Roche was whistled for obstruction-hooking. That, combined with an ill-advised Bryan Miller penalty for hitting from behind 28 seconds into the third, gave Northeastern an extended 5-on-3 and set up the tying goal.
The Huskies had no problem finding Mike Morris below the left faceoff dot for a quick one-timer into a wide-open net to tie the game at 2 just 51 seconds into the third.
Though both teams had ample chances to end the game in regulation, neither could crack the goaltending battle between Curry and Gibson and the game headed to overtime.
In the extra frame, similar to the Beanpot final, referee Scott Hansen wasn't afraid to whistle penalties. NU's Bryan Esner took what Crowder called a "real dumb, dumb penalty" for crosschecking with 2:11 remaining. After Gibson's robbery of Bourque, BU's John Laliberte was whistled for contact to the head to even things out.
Though NU would get one last chance with a faceoff in the offensive zone and a 5-on-4 man advantage with less than 10 seconds remaining, BU won the draw and quickly cleared the puck, forcing each team to settle for the tie.
Northeastern can no longer catch fourth-place Maine for a home-ice playoff berth meaning the Huskies will travel for the Hockey East quarterfinals.
BU, grabbing only one point, missed the opportunity to pull into a tie with New Hampshire, remaining a point back, and is still only two points ahead of third-place Boston College.
BU and NU will complete their home-and-home series Saturday night at Agganis Arena.
"There's not much to choose from these two teams," said Parker of now three barnburner games with NU, "and Saturday we'll go right back at it."

Samsung U900 Soul gets candybar counterpart in Soulb U800
You remember how we first told you about a certain "Samsung U800″ candybar phone a while back that looks strikingly like the Samsung U900 Soul? Well, here it is, ladies and gentlemen, in its official, press release grease laden self. It's released now in a new "spirit of Ultra" form factor, which I have to say really does a great job of reminding us about Samsung's Ultra edition.
It carries only a 2.0" QVGA screen on its 9.9mm thin body, but don't let that mislead you; this is one powerful phone. Along with the diminutive screen, the Samsung Soulb U800 also features a 3 megapixel camera with Power LED flash, 1GB of internal memory and support for additional storage from microSD cards. It has a Tri-Band antenna and is HSDPA compatible, so you'll be able to use it in most places around the world granted of course that there's a signal at hand.
The Samsung Soulb U800 will be available by June in Germany, and in several other European and Asian markets shortly thereafter. It will be made available in 5 color choices (Soul Grey, Platinum Silver, Metallic Black, Soul Pink and Amethyst Violet) for a yet undisclosed price.

The Seward County Fair Board met Tuesday evening for a meeting in which the public was invited to attend and to bring ideas about the fair. There were several citizens that came with ideas and volunteered to work with the fair board on their ideas. Some of the ideas or suggestions that were brought to the board were, updating the garden and vegetable entries in the fair book and adding new entries and contests, having some kind of entertainment or events going on at the Activity Center while the exhibits were there and marketing the fair starting now to get the word out on ways the public and businesses can be involved. Hosting a sanctioned Bar BQ event was suggested. There was a volunteer to take over the Gospel Songfest to make that event bigger and better. There were many more suggestions. The fair board was very excited at the attendance and input from the public and welcome all comments.

College Hockey:Five teams garner first place votes, BU on top
Boston University has claimed the top spot in this week's USCHO.com Division I Men's Poll.
Last week's top-ranked team, Miami, falls all the way to No. 4, while Minnesota-Duluth stays in the second spot and Yale jumps from No. 5 to No. 3.
Maine, up to No. 5 from No. 7, rounds out the top five.
This week's new sixth-ranked team, Nebraska-Omaha, received a first place vote for the first time and their No. 6 ranking is tied for their highest ranking ever. The Mavericks were also ranked sixth back on Oct. 29, 2001 and Nov. 5, 2001.
Another nugget of trivia is further down the poll where one team is in unfamiliar territory.
Western Michigan, in this week's poll at No. 17, is ranked for the first time since March 4, 2002, when it was 14th.
Ferris State, fresh off a dominating weekend against Miami, enters the poll at No. 20 this week.
BU, Minnesota-Duluth, Yale, Miami and UNO all received first place votes this week.

Maine, which lost to Michigan State, tied Connecticut and was played into overtime by powerhouse VERMONT, jumps a 7-1-0 UNO team whose four wins came over ranked teams, based on a tie with the now-No. 1 team this weekend? Explain that one.

Eastern bias.
Eastern Bias? Is it playoff time ALREADY?!
- guest
where have the last 2 national champions come from? oh yeah hockey EAST, there should be eastern bias because, oh yeah the east plays better hockey
- guest
Last THREE National Championships… we should at least get the number right.
BC '08 and '10, BU '09
- collegehockeyfan
pretty easy to win in the playoffs when all the regional games are in the east, almost like home games for some teams, most notably the boston schools
- UMaineBLACKBEARS
haha are you serious!!!? Its pretty easy to win NCAA tournament games because all regional games are in the east?? That is a ridiculous statement! Any game in that tournament is not easy to win when your playing that level of competition, no matter what building your playing in. But what happened to the West regionals and the Mid-West regionals… are those in the east as well since all regional games are in the east according to you? Sounds like someone is bitter about Hockey East being such a powerhouse conference
- Hckykid
what ridiculous banter!! like a bunch of kids…..it's all cyclical. every conference can make arguments at certain times. Instead of respecting other conferences and NCAA hockey in general we are subject to this endless pages of drivel. You people give hockey a bad name.
- Anonymous
lol at Hockey East being a powerhouse conference. Polls or not WCHA has easily the toughest conference year after year… and when we don't it certainly doesn't go to the Hockey East but to the CCHA.
Denver – 7
Wisconsin – 6
Minnesota – 5
Michigan Tech – 3
Colorado College – 2
Total – 30
Hockey East
Boston U – 5
Boston College – 4
Maine – 2
Total – 11
- 4Hockeyeast
Looked pretty easy for BC to take care of Miami and Wisconsin last year. Hockey east is the top division. It's impossible to argue against it. I don't think at any point in the regular season that BC won that easily against hockey east teams. I think they may have beaten Northeastern 7-1 but that's a team that didn't even make our post season Good luck to any team going up against BC, BU, Maine, and UNH because chances are you're coming out of that game win a loss
hahahahahaha…. okay, well you won the last 3 years… what about the SIX YEARS before that???? oh that's right, 5 from the WCHA 1 from the CCHA….but yes, you keep pumping your tires for winning 3 ouf of the last 9… I'm very impressed.

yes they are off to a good start but obviously the experts see them as a classic overachiever but not quite a flash in the pan

haha well then CLEARLY you must be implying that Hockey East is the NHL and WCHA is the AHL, because that the was most of the nation sees it
- UMaineBLACKBEARS
because thats the way most of the nation sees it*****
- Jacktheredx13
they should not be number one right now. BU is undefeated. they have an extremely challenging schedule and play in hockey east, a very competitive league. UNO does not compare to BU, and the rankings accurately reflect that
- unomavfan
Have you seen UNO play? They are a strong, fast team who are going to do some great things this year!
- http://pulse.yahoo.com/_JRAQDMYBUWVI4OGXGZSFJP7PLU grizz man
looked great in their 7-2 loss to Maine…simply awe inspiring, I am shaking in my boots……lets cancel the season and crown them champs…..save on all the travel expenses for the rest of college hockey
- collegehockeyfan
I think your thinking North Dakota, unomav fan is talking about Nebraska-Omaha
- Bharvey13
talk about rankings outrage… UNH only has 1 loss (against a very good Miami team) hasn't lost a game since the first weekend of the season, then goes and beats Boston College AT Conte Forum and is still ranked lower than them. Meanwhile BC has lost in each of the last three weekends including a loss to Merrimack (a good team, but not on the same level as BC should be or UNH is)
this is bullplocky
- UMaineBLACKBEARS
UNH has a GREAT team this year! Hockey East is truly a powerhouse conference this year. Should be really fun to watch it play out.
- Guest
Maine also beat North Dakota twice…………
- http://pulse.yahoo.com/_JRAQDMYBUWVI4OGXGZSFJP7PLU grizz man
crushed them 7-2 in the second game if I recall correctly
- UMaineBLACKBEARS
It doesn't matter if they played into overtime with UVM because they won that game in superb fashion I might add. But my points is that a win is a win no matter how many periods it takes to get it. Maine also swept UND who was #2 at the time and is still in the top 10 which is a HUGE factor. Not to mention Maine has outplayed every single opponent this year, even the one game they lost to MSU (who is a ranked team) , check the game stats if you don't believe me. Plus Maine was winning the game at BU 2-1 on the scoreboard and stats and they should have won the game if it weren't for a lucky bounce of the puck with 1min. Technically BU was lucky to have pulled off a tie and they are #1 now. So im sure all of these things come in to play figuring out the polls and power rankings.
- Benedetto
Maine deserves their ranking. Personally, I'd see them in the top 3…but you're making the BU/Maine game out to be more lopsided than it was. Dimmen's slapshot goal was just as lucky as Connolly's was. Millan was being screened by more than 5 skaters in the slot and somehow Dimmen's shot found the net.
BU's PK was extremely impressive, completely shutting down Maine's top-of-the-nation powerplay throughout the entire game, including two 5-on-3′s. Maine outplayed BU initially, at one point putting up a 20-7 shot total (props to Millan) but after Parker's timeout halfway through the second period, BU picked up the pace and Maine was on their heels for the rest of the period.
I'd say the third period was a split between the two teams. Maine really was off to the races from the draw and racked up those two quick goals which startled the Terriers…but I think BU responded well afterwards, playing a good 3rd period with multiple chances until they finally banged it through to tie. Final shot total was 36-30 in Maine's favor, not a large margin.
- UMaineBLACKBEARS
but the stats are still in favor of Maine other then the PK. I will agree that BU had a very good PK during that game but Maine was an injured team missing 2 of their tops stars in Tanner House and Will Oneill when he was injured his 2nd shift on the ice. Which are also 2 key players in our Power Play who probably would have made the difference if they had played. Not to mention Maine was down a few other players to injury. So Maine did really well having to play without some key players against BU, maybe I did make it sound lopsided which wasn't my intent but considering the way the game played out that last goal was very lucky to get off that weird bounce it took and with only 1min remaining, where the Dimmen goal was a good shot after a great defensive play to get the puck back in front of the net and then he took advantage of the screens in front of Millan. But the momentum definitely shifted back and forth, but at no point was Maine on "their heels". Both teams are very good and I expect to see them both have really good seasons. Hockey East is a powerhouse this year
- UMaineBLACKBEARS
Plus each time Maine had a 5 on 3 it was for less then 1min. Maine killed of BU's 5 on 3 as well.
- 4Hockeyeast
BU put plenty of pressure on Maine. The most memorable point of domination for BU was when they put so much pressure on offense that the Maine player tried to tie up the puck to get a whistle. Unfortunately for him he also received a delay of game penalty. While BU did not have many shots on net, especially when down 20 shots to 7, they still had many opportunities to score but the opportunities tended to sail a bit wide of the net. GREAT game! I'm sure both teams feel lucky to have gotten out without a loss
- Hard Mike
Yale…..plz. Creampuffs on ice .
- goober
24 goals in 4 games for Yale, how does that make them creampuffs?
- UMaineBLACKBEARS
look at their competition, play a team with some talent and then you can talk. YALE has a creampuff schedule this year.
- Downeast of Nowhere
Let's just hope the polls, Jim and Dave continue to pay homage to the big market schools and save the smack talk for game time. Anyone at last years HE finals knows who the NCAA's 2 best teams in the country were. No surprise here, the polls and attention go where they do.. Why advertise? Didn't do ND any favors did it?
- collegehockeyfan
if yale were to play in a real conference they would end up like bemidji in the wcha this year, NOTHING because they play good competition every week, its easy to come out and play against a good team one weekend a month, wcha, ccha, and hockey east have to bring their A game every week, it wears on the players. Yale has potential but it doesn't deserve them a #3 spot until they prove themselves against a couple real opponents.
- Anonymous
you're exactly right but the Ivy leaguers have influence over the people that put the polls together….les face it..ecac is an inferior league that doesn't even begin their schedule until 3 weeks after most school…powder puff hockey at it's best
- Aye-4n-aye
The men and women who play NCAA hockey are also there to pick up a decent education. I wonder if this philosophy might be more prevalent on the East Coast than elsewhere? In any case, why condemn a team or conference based on someone else's opinion? Cardinal rule in sports: give opposition due respect. If you defeat them, then your victory is meaningful. If you lose to an opponent you have ridiculed, you become an even bigger loser.
- http://pulse.yahoo.com/_JRAQDMYBUWVI4OGXGZSFJP7PLU grizz man
Lets see UNH has played 2 against Miami a split, tied 1 against Michigan, won 1 at BC and Yale has played Brown, Princeton, Dartmouth and Quin all at home …be serious…3 of those 4 teams will be hard pressed to win 12 games this year……
- Hckyrocks
For those who have seen Duluth and Boston play, we know they each have a small crafty forward with the Last name Connolly, Im talking about Jack and Chris. Which in your opinion is the better player? And is there any coincidence they each play for a top 2 team in the nation?
- frozenfour11
both have an extremely high hockey IQ and amazing hand-eye coordination, the funny thing is they play the same exact way as they did in youth hockey when they were squirts. Its close but I would say Jack is better.
- BirthPlaceOfHockey
UMD actually has 2 crafty small forwards named Jack AND Mike. The better question is who is better between Jack and Mike. That debate rages in Duluth. However with regards to Chris and Jack, the younger brother Jack's better, no doubt. Chris has done well for himself since getting an opportunity at BC but Jack is a frontrunner for the Hobey this year and probably the top. UMD passed on Chris as well as most all other teams out of juniors. Hindsight is 20/20 and UMD should have taken Chris – rumor is that their old man asked UMD to split Jack's scholarship and give half to Chris…
- BirthPlaceOfHockey
opps…I mean Chris plays at BU
- frozenfour11
I'd say when it comes down to natural ability between Jack and Mike, Jack is better. Mike is also small and very crafty but he has about 25 pounds on Jack and plays sometimes like he's 210 and it surprises you how well he uses his body to protect the puck…However, i would say that Mike sometimes tries to do a tad too much in some cases(and not enough in others) and Jack rarely makes mistakes. All that said, still no mention of Fontaine(better in certain areas than both connolys) and all three make each other better which is scary for the competition…just ask. It is a dynamic line that makes people who know little about hockey say "wow, how did they do that?" Its very entertaining.
- Hckyrocks
I think the fact that Jack minimizes his mistakes every time he is on the ice will be the difference in the longevity of their careers. No matter what level he is at he excels. As for Chris, believe it or not, he is better in traffic than Jack. Either way its cool to see where they are taking their respective teams this year.
- guest
Cream puff schedule for Yale? So by that logic Cornell should never get a high ranking because they're an Ivy in the ECAC. The only fault with ranking Yale at 3 is that their goaltenders are not better than any team in the top 30. Otherwise there are few teams who have comparable scoring across 3-4 linens
- UMaineBLACKBEARS
well I know Maine is one of them
- http://pulse.yahoo.com/_6G52QLIKO6ASEPAGPBHT2NLXOI wetmullet
People please. Let's face it, these rankings don't mean squat. The proof is in the fact that there have already been 4 different #1s this season. Where was BC ranked last year before they won their national title? I don't remember but I'll bet it wasn't #1(Miami was #1 for most of the season). I doubt they even made it to #1 the entire season. It makes for some fun banter but let's face it, the people that put these polls together just don't know and have the privilege to change their minds every week. So enjoy the conversation but remember, rankings are fun but if they meant anything we wouldn't need to play the games. Go Hockey East!
- http://pulse.yahoo.com/_JRAQDMYBUWVI4OGXGZSFJP7PLU grizz man
To make your case even more sound, how is it BC is ahead of UNH who went to BC and won Friday, UNH has only lost to MIAMI at Miami and they beat Miami the second night. UNH tied and outplayed Michigan – outshot them 48-30 for the game when they trailed 22-20 in shots after 2 periods..Its a joke, I thought the BCS was ridiculous..Thankfully we have a true National Tourney where the top 14 or 15 plus and outsider or two can square off and get it right
- http://pulse.yahoo.com/_JRAQDMYBUWVI4OGXGZSFJP7PLU grizz man
Let me understand this, UNH goes TO BC and wins, has a split with MIAMI at Miami, ties Michigan, has 2 fewer losses than BC and is BEHIND them in the polls??? You think the BCS has a screwed up system in Football this is one of the dumbest rankings I have ever seen bar none !!!! yoohooooo get a clue, thank goodness for pairwise rankings. At least those are somewhat sane and utilize some amount of common sense…To all you voters who picked BC ahead of UNH get your heads out in the sunshine, do some due diligence and engage some brain cells…..
Big BU fan; happy they are #1 in the Polls, but they are probably not the best team in the country right now; great potential though
- Hockeyeastfan12
Damn, I was just looking … and people weren't lying. Yale's schedule is very weak.
- College Hockey Fan
Surprise to see that Ferris State only received the 20th ranking. Past two weeks they played #3UM at the time and played two tough guys which resulted in 2-2 tie with FSU winning the shootout and then losing 3-2 at Yost. Then comes #1Miami last weekend and FSU takes 5 out 6 points possible for the weekend. That being said I would have thought that they would have received more votes for playing those caliber teams.
- Anonymous
We can all agree that these polls are bogus until around Christmas and when the PairWise rankings come out because they actually rank teams by difficulty of schedule and their record not just by horrible analysts' biased opinions. UMD should be #1, UNO should be higher ranked, and there is no way Miami should still be in the top 5 after being swept by an unranked team. UND got swept by Maine and dropped like a rock… Maine was ranked…. Ferris State was not. Miami dropping to only 4th is a joke.
- Taloeppke
Let's go back in time a little further regarding the prowess of the various conferences….
The WCHA has evolved over the years teams added and others moved on to other affiliations – this is not the same WCHA as when I went to school in the late 1970′s/early 1980′s.
Using The NCAA and Wikipedia as sources here are the championships over the years for the WCHA affiliated team (at time of winning)
Total Championships – 63
WCHA winners – 36 (57.1%)
WCHA runner up – 28 (44.4%)
(In some years the champion and runner up were both from the WCHA
Overall 1st or 2nd place finishes – 64 of 128 slots or 50.8%…not too bad considering most teams play in the East
And give the ladies their due – ALL 10 champions have been WCHA plus 3 runners up.
Since the Championship playoff started…the WCHA has been the strongest.

Darlene Love has sung on some of the most legendary songs in rock 'n' roll history, such as "He's a Rebel," and the holiday treat "Christmas (Baby Please Come Home)". But a good part of her career found her singing as a background singer and not as lead.
That was profiled in the wonderful film "20 Feet From Stardom," which won a well-deserved Academy Award for Best Documentary at the recent Academy Awards. Love says the anticipation before the announcement was incredible.
"All four of us were holding hands," she said.
It had been arranged the night before that she would go up on stage if they won the Oscar. And when she got there, she broke into song in one of the highlights of the ceremony. She says she prayed for guidance before going on stage.
"I asked the Lord. His eye is on the sparrow. That's the part of the song that was spontaneous."
Love also was inducted into the Rock 'n' Roll Hall of Fame in 2011.
"That was another plateau in my life and I never thought anything would be better than that or greater than that."
How does she look back on her career with Phil Spector now?
"I say all the time when I have interviews if it wasn't for his songs, I would not have a career. I can only be glad I was only one of the voices of the Wall of Sound."
Love's singing of "(Christmas) Baby Please Come Home" has been an annual tradition for 'The Late Show With David Letterman" for 27 years. How did that come about?
"I was doing a show at the Bottom Line called 'Leader of the Pack.' Paul Shaffer was playing Phil Spector in the show. He invited David to come down and see it. David said on his show it was the greatest Christmas song we need to get that girl on this show."
Love also had a featured role on the old ABC show "Shindig!"
"It was great to be on a rock 'n' roll show, the first of its kind. The network did not want the three black girls on the show. This was in 1964. The producer stood his ground. And after the first three or four months, nobody thought about three black girls. It was a great stride in our life."
Asked to comment, Donna Loren, who worked with Love on "Shindig!," agreed.
"Darlene sang background for me on 'Shindig!' As a member of the Blossoms, Darlene became part of the controversy over being on a racially integrated live rock 'n' roll nationwide TV show. She always added her soulful renderings on every show I performed on. We made history for the short time (1964-'66) 'Shindig!' was on the air combining all genres of music and all races uniting on the same stage."
Asked to name two songs she has recorded that were her favorites, Love said, "Actually, one of the songs I recorded was one for Phil Spector, "Quiet Guy," and also "Good Good Lovin'." I still love those two."
And what songs have she done that people might not know about? She said she is on the soundtrack of the Doris Day film "Move Over, Darling." "Plus we did a song with Cheech & Chong' called 'Basketball Jones.'" That came about because of her long association with Lou Adler, she said.
She also worked with Nancy Sinatra, and her father, Frank Sinatra, who she described as "amazing." "You could feel his presence," she said.
She said she is presently working with Steve Van Zandt recording tracks for a possible album.

Practiced for thousands of years by cultures around the world-- detoxification is about resting, cleansing and nourishing the body from the inside out. By removing and eliminating toxins, then feeding your body with healthy nutrients, detoxifying can help protect you from disease and renew your ability to maintain optimum health. These foods will assist in boosting your metabolism, optimizing digestion, while allowing you to lose weight and fortify your immune system.
Check out the Slideshow for all of these foods below:
In addition to the ones covered in the slideshow, here are some others you can check out at your local health grocery store:
Curcumin is the active ingredient in the spice turmeric, which gives it its yellow color. The rate at which your detox pathways function depends on your genes, your age, lifestyle and a good supply of nutrients involved in the detox process. Curcumin is used a lot in Ayurvedic Medicine to treat liver and digestive disorders. Turmeric has specifically been studied in relation to the positive effect that it has on the liver. As a high antioxidant spice, turmeric protects the body and prevents disease more effectively than drug based treatments and without the side effects.
Give your liver a big boost with cleansing action of watercress. If you're into making smoothies for your detoxing this is a great one to blend up and drink down. This helps to release enzymes in the liver that clean it out and help rid it of toxic buildup. Eating watercress every day helps prevent breast cancer.
Wheatgrass restores alkalinity to the blood. The juice's abundance of alkaline minerals helps reduce over-acidity in the blood and thus also Is a powerful detoxifier, and liver protector. It increases red blood-cell count and lowers blood pressure. It also cleanses the organs and gastrointestinal tract of debris. Wheatgrass stimulates the metabolism and the body's enzyme systems by enriching the blood. It also aids in reducing blood pressure by dilating the blood pathways throughout the body. Pound for pound, wheatgrass is more than twenty times denser in nutrients than other choice vegetables. Nutritionally, wheatgrass is a complete food that contains 98 of the 102 earth elements.
This tropical delight contains bromelain, a digestive enzyme that helps cleanse your colon and improve digestion. Excessive inflammation, excessive coagulation of the blood, and certain types of tumor growth may all be reduced by bromelain. Two molecules isolated from an extract of crushed pineapple stems have even shown promise in fighting cancer growth.
Seaweed may be the most underrated vegetable in the Western world. Studies at McGill University in Montreal showed that seaweeds bind to radioactive waste in the body so it can be removed. Radioactive waste can find its way into the body through some medical tests or through food that has been grown where water or soil is contaminated. Seaweed also binds to heavy metals to help eliminate them from the body. In addition, it is a powerhouse of minerals and trace minerals. Seaweed extracts can help you lose weight, mostly body fat.
Sesame seeds' phytosterols have beneficial effects which are so dramatic that they have been extracted from many foods and added to processed foods, such as "butter"-replacement spreads, which are then touted as cholesterol-lowering "foods." But why settle for an imitation "butter" when Mother Nature's nuts and seeds are a naturally rich source of phytosterols--and cardio-protective fiber, minerals and healthy fats as well? Sesame seeds contain minerals important in a number of antiinflammatory and antioxidant enzyme systems.
Grapefruits can prevent weight gain, treat diabetes, lower cholesterol, fight cancer, heal stomach ulcers, reduce gum disease and even keep stroke and metabolic syndrome at bay. Grapefruits can treat disease as well as pharmaceuticals without the side effects. The rich pink and red colors of grapefruit are due to lycopene, a carotenoid phytonutrient. Among the common dietary carotenoids, lycopene has the highest capacity to help fight oxygen free radicals, which are compounds that can damage cells. The big takeaway on grapefruit is that it gets your liver fired up and ready for action, while infusing the rest of your organs with nutrient-laden fruit juice.
Green tea is often thought of as a great addition to any detox program because of its high antioxidant value. It is the least processed tea and thus provides the most antioxidant polyphenols, notably a catechin called epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG), which is believed to be responsible for most of the health benefits linked to green tea.
The fennel bulb is high in fiber may also be useful in preventing colon cancer. In addition to its fiber, fennel is a very good source of folate, a B vitamin that is necessary for the conversion of a dangerous molecule called homocysteine into other, benign molecules. The vitamin C found in fennel bulb is directly antimicrobial and is also needed for the proper function of the immune system.
When detoxifying your body, it's essential to ensure toxins are eliminated properly. Ground flaxseeds provide a wonderful source of fibre that helps to bind and flush toxins from the intestinal tract. They're also a great source of health promoting omega 3 oils. Try consuming two tablespoons of ground flaxseeds in lemon water every morning.
And Lastly GOJI BERRIES
Replace raisins with nutrient-dense Goji berries to boost your vitamin C and beta-carotene intake. Gram for gram, goji berries pack more vitamin C than oranges and more beta-carotene than carrots. Vitamin C can help remove waste from your body, while beta-carotene improves liver performance.

Verizon's Motorola Droid Bionic and 4G LTE Xoom get software updates
It's a happy day if you own either a Motorola Droid Bionic or a Motorola Xoom with 4G LTE connectivity. That's because both Verizon devices are in the process of receiving minor software updates at the moment. 'Minor' should have given you a hint, but we'll spell it out anyway – these updates won't make your gadget run Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich. That particular update seems to be a way out at this point.
Let's start with the Xoom. This is the version that ships with 4G LTE built in, mind you. The update is only meant to fix one thing – data connectivity is now properly restored after disabling Airplane Mode. Surely a nice fix to get, but you'd hope that such an obvious action would have been tested before the tablet was released.
Anyway, the full details are buried in this PDF, and the update instructions for the Xoom are to be found in this PDF. The skinny is that it's an over-the-air update, the tablet will notify you when it's available, you then download and install it directly on your Xoom. Done.
It's the same update mechanism for the Droid Bionic, of course. Its update comes with many more small improvements and enhancements though. The full list is in this PDF, but here are a few of the more important ones: text message alerts can now be received during voice calls without the call being interrupted, device stability has been improved, battery life should also be better, data connectivity stability too, WAV files are now supported, and Amazon MP3 and VCAST Apps Store come preinstalled.
The update is about 56 MB in size. Update instructions for the Droid Bionic are in this PDF. After performing this update, your Droid Bionic will be on software version 5.9.902, as seen in the image above.

Jacintha Saldanha, RN at King Edward VII Hospital, was found dead two days after being pranked by a Aussie radio station into divulging Kate Middleton's medical status, reports state. Suicide has been offered as a potential cause. And we take a moment to think, 'hmmmm.'
The hospital has released a statement professing their sorrow and acknowledging the prank being treated by the media as if it were a breach of National Security.
And our 'hmmmm' continues.
There is an undeniable level of sadness that follows this story. But we can't help but question labeling this incident a "suicide."
Saldanha was reportedly found a few blocks from her place of work.
Why would anyone chose to commit suicide on the street. Not a likely place for such an act.
Another question that nags at our tailcoat is, if in fact this results in a suicide as opposed to a homicide, why would anyone take their own life for something amounting to little else than a blunder.
Saldanha is survived by her husband and two children.

The Best New Cruise Ship of 2013?
November 20, 2012 | By Dan Askin | Comments Off on The Best New Cruise Ship of 2013?
Wild swings in the vote. Furious campaigning. Baseless character assassinations.
The occasion: Deciding which of 2013's marquee new-builds cruisers would prefer to sail.
It's between the 3,600-passenger Royal Princess and the 4,028-passenger Norwegian Breakaway, two buzzworthy prototypes launching next year. Will it be Princess' quiet, big-ship elegance or Breakaway's NYC-inspired exuberance?
After a week and nearly 5,400 votes cast, Norwegian Breakaway holds a comfortable 16-point lead, 58 percent to 42 percent. The highly caffeinated ship, which will debut in April, was down by a similar margin after a day of voting. The poles flipped as Norwegian zealots came out in droves, encouraged by a "get out the vote" status update on NCL's Facebook page.
Meanwhile, Cruise Critic's side-by-side platform comparison chart offered insights into each ship's cabins, dining, bars, entertainment and sun deck amenities. Renderings of the ships' splashiest spaces and an itinerary run-down were also included to help readers make an educated choice.
But we're not naive: This new ship battle is also a popularity contest.
"Anything by Princess beats NCL … any day," John said, without having set foot on either ship.
"Definitely NCL — in my view no other cruise line comes close," said Zelda, who has so far been unable to travel into the future to review each contender.
What say you? Study up on the ships and weigh in.

The light that peered through the shutters warmed up Donatello's face and blinded his eyes when he cracked them open to welcome the morning sun. The mutant flinched and groaned, burying his head back into the pillow.
He could smell the faint aroma of some kind of food, but his senses were still waking up. Soon, he heard light footfalls and felt the bed shift. He moved his arm to drop onto the normally occupied other side of the bed to find it empty.
"Good morning, sleepy head."
Donatello propped himself up on his elbow and a smile tugged at his lips. April sat on their bed with a tray of food. Her red hair stuck up in places and Donatello took a moment to appreciate how adorable she looked in her yellow tank top and purple boy shorts.
The mutant fully sat up, feeling the sleep in his muscles. He eyed the tray and grinned. On it was a large plate with two pancakes and slices of bananas, drizzled in syrup. There were also two glasses of milk and a small bowl of grapes.
"What's this?" Donatello raised an eyebrow ridge, grinning wider. Everything in the room was bathed in a washed out yellow from the sun just peaking over the horizon. April grinned back and placed the tray on his lap.
The food smelt good and the steam the pancakes gave off from being fresh out of the pan tickled his face. April crawled closer to him and sat on her knees. She took the fork and knife and cut a piece of the pancake.
"Breakfast in bed, silly." She chuckled at him. Donatello playfully rolled his eyes at her, his grin betraying him.
"I know THAT. Any special occasion?"
"Because I love you?"
"Good enough." He mumbled as she raised the fork with a piece of the pancake to his mouth. He gingerly took it and ate it. He took the knife and fork from her, cut a slice and fed that to her.
April grinned as they fed each other, Donatello getting butter on her nose and April balancing a piece of banana on his head. Soon the pancakes were gone and so were the glasses of milk.
The red head found herself laying on the bed, Donatello beside her as he fed her the grapes in between kisses. They kissed whatever food that got on their bodies away, gently guiding their lips over one another's skin as the sun rose behind their curtains, the day long forgotten.
Donatello loved April for many reasons, but one of his favorite things about her was her ability to continue to surprise him over the years as a couple. The mutant couldn't ever recall a day that was boring with her in it.
April and Donnie would always try to find ways to surprise one another, catch the other off guard and out do one another with surprises. They weren't always big, the small things mattered as well. Like this.
April knew she didn't HAVE to make them breakfast in bed, but she did. As Donatello rested on the bed, April resting on his chest, he ran his fingers down her back and thought about how he could surprise her next.
Many ideas flooded his mind and he smiled, knowing he couldn't wait to give them all to her. He couldn't wait for the next day, the day after that, or the day after that. Their love was unique and strong and he knew it would stay like that for a very, very long time. After all, in the end, it was the little things that mattered.

I just like the idea of breakfast in bed, okay?
Very well done FlashyFashionFraud. I love it just like all the rest of your stories. I loved how you told it from the point of view of Donnie, it really showed his love for April. I also loved how you made April make him breakfast in bed it showed her love for him. You also showed their love for one another, and how strong it was, that I loved too. I think you wrapped it up well too, how you made Donnie thinking about all the little things he could do for April. I agree with Donnie/you, "in the end, it's was the little things that mattered," and they really do. All in all this was a well written piece, that had a lot of thought put into it, along with emotions. Love it!
The Artist thought this was FAIR
4 out of 4 deviants thought this was fair.
I like this story. I think you're right it is the little things that matter in everything.
EEEEEEEEEEEE!!! this was so sweet and romantic! i love!!

Awwwwww thank you!! I always worry about it being boring at all.

Each year, the week before Easter Sunday, the town of Larantuka, East Flores, solemnly celebrates the Holy Week, popularly known here as "Semana Santa". This year the series of rituals will occur from 27th to 31st March 2013.
During this special week, the small town of Larantuka will be thronged with thousands of pilgrims, not only coming from surrounding islands in Flores but also from Java, Bali as well as many international tourists. This is because of Larantuka's unique commemoration of Holy Week which blends Old Portuguese devotion with local tradition. Pilgrims come here to pray but also to participate in this one of a kind procession.
The Semana Santa will commence with the Rabu Trewa or the Shackled Wednesday (or Ash Wednesday) on 27th March, on the mid-Easter week. On this day, devotees gather in chapels and pray, remembering the betrayal of Jesus by Judas Iscariot which led to Jesus' arrest and shackling. This is the time when the town of Larantuka turns into the Town of Mourning; a time when it drowns into solemnity and reflection for the purification of the soul.
In the afternoon of Maundy Thursday, devotees enact the tikam turo ritual in preparing the route for the following day's seven kilometer procession by planting candles along the route. At the Chapel of Tuan Ma (Virgin Mary) the casket that has been sealed for one year is carefully opened by the Conferia, and the statue of Tuan Ma or Virgin Mary is bathed and then dressed in mourning clothes (a piece of black or purple, or blue velvet coat).
The pinnacle of the rituals falls on Good Friday or the Sesta Vera which this year falls on 29th March 2013. The door of the chapel of Tuan Ma and Tuan Ana (Jesus and the Virgin Mary) opens at ten o'clock in the morning. The Good Friday procession is highlighted by the ritual of carrying the statue of the body of Jesus Christ, placing Jesus at the center of the ritual and placing Mother Mary at the center of attention, as the mourning mother (Mater Dolorosa).
The Sabtu Santo (Holy Saturday) and the Minggu Paskah (Easter Sunday) follow the next days, marking the end of the entire Easter week procession.

Climate Change May Cause Increased Violence
Written by Your 5News Team
Last updated on August 05, 2013 @ 9:10AM
Created on August 04, 2013 @ 11:21PM
Global warming is clearly a hot button issue. But is it possible that climate change could be causing an increase in violence worldwide?
Scientific researchers have found even a small change in temperature or rainfall can be linked to an increase in assaults, rapes, murders and even war.
Some examples of this are increasing violence in India during recent droughts, and a spike in violent crimes in the US during heat waves.
Many studies show excessive heat can cause aggression, but another factor in play, may be the changes in economic conditions which can affect a person's decision making.
But despite some evidence people aren't fully convinced.
"Personally I don't see that there could be a link between climate change and any form of civil unrest," said Joe Leighton, from Harrison County. "I think the causes are many."
Some researchers agree and link certain world conflicts with other factors like high infant mortality rates, distance to international boarders or high population density.
Still many scientist say the projected level of climate change will ultimately make this world a more violent place.

In the beginning.
The very beginning.
~-~-Disclaimer: i do not own and Sonic characters, or other things from Sonic.-~-~
-~-~Claimer: i do own the plot.~-~-
After the big bang, the galaxies were formed. In a certian galaxy named later by humans to be 'The Milky Way', aplanet also later to be called 'Earth' by humans and its moon were formed through many explosive events. Eventually the universe and the planet cooled down. After many billions of years, bacteria formed, which then evolved into plants and other primitive life forms. Then arose the dinosaurs, and then some unexplained event took place that wiped them out. After more billions of years, mammals evoled, and in turn humans formed from glorious, yet more primitive primates.
All the while, the earth was rotating and moving aroung the sun, with the moon doing the same with tha planet. These interactions created the seasons and different weather patterns. Also, the totonic plated moved under the crust layer of the planet, forming one large continent of land on the huge expanse of ocean, and then dispersing into smaller ones, usually seven. Then reforming, and dispersing, reforming, dispersing... over and over again...
Humans came about while there were seven different continents, and as they evolved and learned, created the world we know of as 'Middle Earth'. But what happened after that?
The great totonic plates that shaped 'Middle Earth' began to move once again, and over millions or even billiona of years, just as humans evolved from apes, 'mobians' evolved while the continents started to merge into one. Your normal hedgehogs, foxes, dogs, cats, monkeys, and many other species now stood up on two legs, in humanoid body structures. Some mobians were even smarter than the majority of humans. The mobians began to be put under the oppresive rule of a certian group of humans called 'overlanders' and over the course of the Great War, which the mobians won due to their diversity in species and special skills, the world named 'Earth' was no more. The overlanders gave in, and the planet was renamed after the victors, becoming 'Mobius'.
This is a story of a rather amazingly intelligent mutated two-tailed fox in the generation born after the war, named 'Miles 'Tails' Prower'

Catherine Keener
"Most times when people pitch you as being perfect for a part … they don't look at you as an actor who can transform. A lot of people are so literal."
- Catherine Keener
After starring in a number of 1990s independent films, Catherine Keener garnered mainstream acclaim for her supporting performances in films like Being John Malkovich (1999), The 40 Year Old Virgin (2005) and Capote (2005).
Catherine's been off the dating scene most of her career. Since 1990, she's been married to fellow actor Dermot Mulroney, and the two have a young son, Clyde. However, they separated in September 2005.
Yet Catherine is wary of fame, and has stayed out of the spotlight -- after all, she was virtually unknown until her late 30s. That relatively late arrival to stardom and the fact that she doesn't take on typical Hollywood leading lady roles means that her name isn't instantly and universally recognizable, though many have seen her work by now without realizing it.
Catherine Keener BiographyCatherine Keener was born on March 26, 1960, in Miami, Florida. She's the third of five children born to Jim and Evelyn Keener. Although two of her siblings would also become actresses, that career direction didn't initially occur to Catherine herself. Although she didn't get into trouble growing up, by the time she reached high school, Catherine began rebelliously acting out. She was eventually expelled from the 11th grade, although she later returned to school, and kept her grades high enough to be accepted into college.
Catherine attended Wheaton College, a women's school in Norton, Massachusetts. She stayed with an aunt who lived nearby to save on tuition, feeling out of place among her more privileged peers. She majored in English and history, and she enrolled in a theater course, but only because she couldn't get into a photography class. Once she graduated from Wheaton College in 1983, Catherine moved to New York, where she interned as an assistant to casting agent, Gail Eisenstadt.
catherine keener marries dermot mulroneyWhen Gail Eisenstadt relocated to Los Angeles shortly afterward, Catherine followed her employer, still relatively unambitious. But when Eisenstadt had a heart-to-heart with Catherine about her future, Catherine admitted she wanted to try acting -- an unusual transition from the casting industry. Eisenstadt pulled some strings and Catherine landed bit parts in movies like About Last Night… (1986).
Although Catherine struggled professionally the next few years, one low-quality project had an unexpected dividend. Catherine met actor Dermot Mulroney working on Survival Quest (1989) when Mulroney got himself stuck trying to scale a cliff. The two dated and then married in 1990.
catherine keener in being john malkovichMeanwhile, Catherine's career started to build momentum. She had a notable guest role on an early Seinfeld episode, and appeared in director Tom DiCillo's Johnny Suede (1991), opposite a then unknown Brad Pitt. Catherine went on to star in DiCillo's Living in Oblivion (1995), Box of Moonlight (1996) and The Real Blonde (1997). She also appeared in Nicole Holofcener's Walking and Talking (1996). But Catherine hit the big time when she was cast by Spike Jonze -- at the suggestion of Jonze's wife, Sophia Coppola -- to play Maxine in Being John Malkovich (1999). Catherine's tough and sexy performance ultimately led to an Oscar nomination.
catherine keener in the 40 year old virginCatherine's son, Clyde, was born in 1999, and her output naturally declined for a time. But from there, Catherine's range of roles only grew. She gave an impressive performance for Steven Soderbergh in Full Frontal (2002), having previously worked for the acclaimed director in Out of Sight (1998). She also had notable roles in Death to Smoochy (2002) and Simone (2002).
Catherine didn't grace the screen for a while, but she returned for four releases in 2005. She appeared in the acclaimed dramas The Ballad of Jack and Rose and The Interpreter, while having no trouble switching to comedy when she starred alongside Steve Carell in The 40 Year Old Virgin. Catherine's standout role, however, came as author Harper Lee in Capote, and the performance earned her a second Oscar nomination.
Although Catherine separated from husband Dermot Mulroney in 2005, her career has shown no sign of slowing down. She reunited with director Nicole Holofcener for Friends with Money (2006), and she was cast in An American Crime (2007), Into the Wild (2007) and Where the Wild Things Are (2008).

On level 4-3 of Scribblenauts Remix, you need to get all the cells open by causing the specialists to enter them. Three are easy, but the fourth cell, which has a Psychiatrist outside, is just baffling me.
There's actually an in-game hint that says "The Pyschiatrist will calm a panicked prisoner" but no matter what potions I apply to my prisoner (like "insane" or "depressed" or "panicky") the dude ignores him.
Trying to literally make a "panicked potion" doesn't work, giving me a plain potion.
How in the word do I get this psychiatrist's attention?!
P.S. Giving the prisoner a "suicidal potion" will just kill him, heh.
