5 Resort Reviews
Write New Review
This is one of the ones I had always driven past. I'm glad I stopped here one night and paid the usual asking price of $12.00 for a night ticket. This was mid-January and, not too long after the hill took a real beating from an ice storm. I skied in the dark and had a great time doing it. Every time I saw a coil of wire nailed to a tree, I reminded myself that this is not a deep pocketed resort, they were doing what they could to put the place back together and, that someday, that coil of wire would run a string of lights again. With one double chair, a couple surface lifts and, 300 vertical feet, Otis Ridge is not for those with short attention spans. Although, for its size, it skis pretty well. What they do have is the easy access, affordability, and community feel that got us all into skiing at our own home hills in the first place. Its isn't glitzy and, for what it is, it shouldn't be. If you don't mind sitting under a couple slightly brownish tiles in the drop ceiling at The Grouse House, you too might be able to chat with the groomer about his grouchy old Piston Bulley while eating stuffed clams from the toaster oven. If that's a bit too humble for you please pack the brats and the blonde in the Bogner in your BMW and go to Windham. Otherwise, you and your family should have a great time. You'll have the lowest stress ski day ever here and sometimes, that's just plain good for the soul.

Statement attributable to the Spokesman for the Secretary-General on Ukraine
New York, 28 August 2014
The Secretary-General is alarmed by reports that fighting in eastern Ukraine has spread southward, near the border of the Sea of Azov and the Russian Federation. If confirmed, this will mark a dangerous escalation in the Ukrainian crisis.
The international community cannot allow the situation to escalate further nor can a continuation be allowed of the violence and destruction that the conflict has wrought in eastern Ukraine.
The Secretary-General notes the recent talks in Minsk on 26 August, as well as the first official meeting between the Presidents of Ukraine and Russia. He calls for continuity of these talks, with a view to forging a peaceful way out of the conflict. All must do their part to contribute to the peaceful resolution of this conflict, in a manner upholding Ukraine's sovereignty and territorial integrity.

Lenny Dykstra Charged With More Alleged Crimes, Including Grand Theft Auto
Updated at the bottom: Authorities claim ecstasy and cocaine were found at Dykstra's house. Also, we add some details about the alleged scam they say he was trying to pull.
More charges for baseball legend Lenny Dykstra today.
City News Service reports that he's been charged with a hole package of alleged crimes, including "grand theft auto, filing false financial statements, identity theft and possession of a controlled substance."
He was scheduled to be arraigned in San Fernando Superior Court today. This comes after ...

... last month's indictments against the former Philadelphia Phillie for bankruptcy fraud, obstruction of justice, concealing property from a bankruptcy estate, making false declarations to the bankruptcy court, and embezzlement from the bankruptcy estate.
Federal prosecutors claim that he sold stuff from his Encino mansion under the table after declaring bankruptcy, a no-no.
He had also been arrested by the LAPD for allegedly purchasing cars with false information, although the D.A.'s office declined to file charges in that case.
Today's charges seem related, but we're not sure. We'll keep you updated.
Update: Authorities say that when the LAPD went to Dykstra's place to arrested him April 14 they found coke, ecstasy, and a synthetic human growth hormone called Somatropin.
Today's charges include 23 felony counts mostly related to an alleged scheme to lease high-end cars using a pilfered identity. Also charged: His accountant, Robert Hymers, 27, and Dykstra's friend, Christopher Gavanis, 30.
Authorities say the scheme worked at one dealership but that the suspects were turned down at two others.
According to CNS, Dykstra was hit with ...
... Eight counts of filing false financial statements, five counts of attempted grand theft auto, four counts of identity theft and three counts each of grand theft auto and possession of a controlled substance.
These are all felonies. He was also charged with a few misdemeanors, including "possession of a controlled substance without a prescription and unauthorized possession of a syringe."

Contrary to your post headline, I think this list is more exciting than a longlist of all the usual suspects.
Hmm, this may be a naive comment, but it's kind of cool (McEwan notwithstanding) that relative unknowns are getting the spotlight.
Now stop bugging me so I can get back to my 3rd reading of the latest Harry Potter.
He may not deserve the prize, but McEwan deserves to be on the longlist for On Chesil Beach.
Shit, I should've published a novel and entered.

Reproducing Applause-Type Signals with Directional Audio Coding
Reproduction of surrounding applause-type signals is known to produce audible artifacts with parametric spatial audio coders. This arises from inadequate temporal resolution. Better quality results if the temporal resolution is high enough to analyze each handclap separately, which can be obtained by using different temporal windows for different frequencies. Formal listening tests confirm the improved subjective quality.

Homicides of transgender women in US reach alarming high

Gracing the cover of OUT magazine's OUT 100 issue as "Ally of the Year" comes as no surprise — Obama is likely to go down in history as one of the most progressive presidents, if not the only one who has fought so tirelessly for LGBTQ rights.
While on his much-talked about visit to Kenya, Obama discusses gay rights – a generally ignored topic among Kenyans.

News Attention Fat Activists
posted by December 8 at 11:29 AMon
The great "Dan Savage is an asshole—but just how big an asshole?" debate on fat-acceptance blogs appears to be winding down. (I am an asshole, you see, for suggesting that weight has any relationship to diet or lifestyle.) And not a moment too soon—because the fat-acceptance crowd has a new arch enemy: New York Times television critic Ginia Bellafante.
Bellafante wrote up a BBC documentary about obesity in today's NYT. It would appear that Ms. Bellafante is ignorant of "natural setpoint weight ranges," and labors under the mistaken belief that a given person's diet—that's diet, not dieting—somehow correlates with the size of a given person's ass.
The film to be shown this weekend, 476-Lb. Teenager, illustrates life on the other extreme of the scale. A portrait of a young woman named Bethany, it depicts her fight to lose what is, in essence, her title as Britains fattest teenager. Every day is a struggle, she says. Every day you wish you could just stay in bed and press the pause button.
Bethany started her descent into obesity at about 8, when she began overeating to squelch psychological discomfort—discomfort the film does a subtle job of attributing to a mother who appears as removed and unfeeling as any imagined by the Brothers Grimm.
The documentary accords Bethany, who ultimately loses about 100 pounds with the help of stomach-reducing surgery, a dignity that is commendable but vaguely obstructionist. It rises above the one question the viewer most wants answered: How does anyone wind up at 476 pounds? Literally, how—in numbers of pizzas and Snickers bars and shell steaks and pints of pistachio ice cream. Deeply invested in the emotional repercussions of Bethanys condition, the filmmakers show little interest in her complicity in developing it.
Oooooo… surgery and Snickers bars and complicity. Complicity! As if being fat is a crime! Those are fighting words! Go get her, fat activists.

Color (American English) or colour (Commonwealth English) is the visual perceptual property corresponding in humans to the categories called red, blue, yellow, etc. Color derives from the spectrum of light (distribution of light power versus wavelength) interacting in the eye with the spectral sensitivities of the light receptors.
The RGB color model is an additive color model in which red, green, and blue light are added together in various ways to reproduce a broad array of colors. The name of the model comes from the initials of the three additive primary colors, red, green, and blue.
RGB (red, green, and blue) refers to a system for representing the colors to be used on a computer display. Red, green, and blue can be combined in various proportions to obtain any color in the visible spectrum.
Levels of R, G, and B can each range from 0 to 100 percent of full intensity.
Primary colors can be arranged in a circle, commonly refered to as a color wheel. Red, green and blue (RGB) form a triangle on the color wheel. In between the primary colors are the secondary colors, cyan, magenta and yellow (CMY), which form another triangle.
RGB and its subset CMY form the most basic and well-known color model. This model bears closest resemblance to how we perceive color. It also corresponds to the principles of additive and subtractive colors.

When Ray Charles was a boy, country music could be a rifle shot warning to a black man. No matter how sweet the lyrics, it could say "Race line here. Step Back." But he didn't . Ray Charles was the great blender of American music.Gospel, jazz, R&B, soul – and country. In 1962, before civil rights and "I have dream," he put out an album that crossed all kinds of lines. And set American music free.This hour, On Point: Ray Charles and the blending of American music.

The assembly of heterochromatin in the nucleus depends on the strength with which a protein called Chp1 binds to a specific target site on a histone that has attached to the double helix, according to researchers. The team from Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory (CSHL) and St. Jude Children's Research Hospital believe that Chp1's strength is at least as important as the availability of siRNAs in the process.
Since this study, published online April 9 in Molecular Cell, was done in yeast, the scientists point out that it is still unclear whether this mechanism of heterochromatin assembly occurs in mammalian cells; a mammalian equivalent to Chp1 has not been found.
In a typical chromosome, heterochromatin is concentrated at and supports the structure of the centromere. Heterochromatin depends on the density of methyl groups called H3K9me, which are added to the tail of histone H3 at a specific spot. The precise pattern of methylation depends on RNAi, which involves: the enzyme that copies DNA into RNA, which is diced into siRNAs; a part of the RNAi machinery known as the RITS complex; and various enzymes that are able to alter the configuration of chromatin.
"In trying to understand the interplay between each of these components," explains Leemor Joshua-Tor, Ph.D., of CSHL, "there has been a longstanding debate over how the RITS complex initially gets recruited to the regions at the centromere that are destined to become heterochromatin."
At first, scientists thought that the siRNA molecules acted as guides to recruit RITS. After latching on to the chromatin, RITS was in turn thought to recruit the other components: the enzyme that adds the methyl marks; and the protein Chp1, which keeps the RITS complex firmly attached to the methyl-decorated chromatin.
In the current study, the investigators found that siRNAs cannot do the job of heterochromatin assembly by themselves. Rather, the siRNA-guided interaction relies on the strength with which the Chp1 binds to methylated chromatin.
"We found that a part of Chp1 known as the chromodomain binds with high affinity to methylated chromatin," explains Thomas Schalch, Ph.D., a postdoctoral researcher in the Joshua-Tor lab who led the current study. By teasing apart the origin of this unique affinity, the CSHL team stumbled across Chp1 mutants that would produce siRNAs but could not assemble heterochromatin.
The team then went on to look for the exact points of contact between Chp1 and its target and how these interactions contributed to the strength of binding. Disrupting each point of interaction between Chp1 and its target by engineering various mutations into the Chp1 protein decreased the strength of binding to different levels. Even a fivefold decrease in binding strength prevented the mutation-bearing cells from assembling new heterochromatin even though some of the mutants were able to generate siRNAs.
This paper titled "High-affinity binding of Chp1 chromodomain to K9 methylated histone H3 is required to establish centromeric heterochromatin" reveals that siRNAs cannot by themselves establish heterochromatin when Chp1's binding to H3K9me the methylated chromatin is impaired.

WEST DES MOINES, Iowa -- One week after blowing a chance to win the Senior PGA Championship on his home course, Gil Morgan put himself in the perfect spot for redemption.
Morgan broke out of a tight pack to top the leaderboard in Allianz Championship on Saturday, shooting a 7-under 64 at Glen Oaks Country Club to take a one-stroke lead into the round.
Morgan had a 12-under 130 total. Loren Roberts, a three-time winner this year and the leading money-winner in the field, was second after a 65.
Morgan led last week's Senior PGA Championship, held in his home state of Oklahoma, by one stroke after 54 holes. But he shot a 74 on Sunday and finished in third, two shots behind winner Jay Haas.
"I missed a golden opportunity, especially playing at home. It's not something I really dwell on, but at the same time it's an opportunity I let get away," Morgan said. "The best I can do is just go play and do the best I can."
Morgan opened play two shots off the lead and made his move with a pair of birdies on the back nine. He took over the top spot with birdies on the second-longest hole on the course, the 549-yard, par-5 15th, and on the par-3 16th.
Morgan was much better on the green Saturday. He needed only 23 putts after putting 30 times in the first round.
"Putting has been a little bit of my downfall. I haven't putted as well I like. But you never know sometimes," Morgan said. "Today I had a very effective putting round."
Roberts improved on an inconsistent opening round of 66. He had six birdies, only one bogey and made par on 17 and 18, considered two of Glen Oaks' toughest holes.
"I played really well today. I hit a lot of good shots, made consistent birdies. I'm right there where I want to be," Roberts said. "Hopefully tomorrow we can improve a little bit, hole a few more putts and see what happens."
For the second straight day, near-perfect weather led to an abundance of low scores. Of the 78 players in the field, 56 were under par.
The field averaged a tournament-record 69.167, marking the first time since the season opening MasterCard Championship at Hualalai in Hawaii that the field scored below 70.
Hajime Meshiai, who entered the Allianz with a scoring average of 73.4 and just two top-10 finishes in 37 career starts, had six birdies and an eagle for a 64. Meshiai was tied with Kirk Hanefeld (65) at 10-under.
Meshiai will play with Morgan and Roberts on Sunday.
Defending Allianz champion Tom Jenkins and John Harris shot 66s to join David Edwards (67) at 9-under.
First-round leader Scott Simpson fell back to 12th place with a 71.
Fuzzy Zoeller stole the show with a hole in one on the 170-yard 16th hole, an ace he never saw. Zoeller's drive landed in the rough on the fringe of the green and to the left of the pin. Thinking he had a chip shot in front of him, Zoeller stepped off to the side and asked his caddie for his sandwich.
But after laying still for almost 10 seconds, the ball slowly trickled down the green and into the cup. Zoeller, who finished with a 68 to reach 7-under, gave the crowd a wry grin and a sarcastic thumbs-up after one of the most improbable of his 16 career aces.
"It was a lucky shot," Zoeller said. "It's a crazy game. I'm just glad I don't have to do it for a living."

I read with great interest the article by Ziegler et al1 on patients' views about learning more about medication adverse effects. This study suggests discordance between expectation of patients and physician encounter.
Outpatient practice presents with numerous challenges to the physician-patient encounter. Braddock et al,2 in a study of outpatient decision making using the mnemonic PAR to remind the physician to disclose the nature of Procedure, Alternatives, and Risks involved in any consent discussion, identified that about 33.4% of the visits to primary care physicians involved discussion about medications. They reported that clinical discussion was complete in only 4.6% of cases using the PAR technique. An expert's perception of risk is based on the likelihood of risk and potential outcome of risk, such as disease, injury, and death. Patients, however, evaluate risk as a combination of likelihood of risk × outcome of risk × outrage factors.3 Outrage factors are determined by the perceived severity and resulting public outrage for particular risks.4 Adverse effects of drugs with lower-risk characteristics are perceived as "less severe" and provoke less outrage than other statically similar adverse effects with higher-risk characteristics.

well it cant really be a passing EU villain of the week (or even an EU villain of the 19-book series for that matter) It needs to be a prominent member of the permanent EU cast. Of those, not many possiblities exist to my mind. I would have thought Anakin Solo a possibility before he died, but Ben Skywalker seems to be the most plausible person to be powerful and skillful enough. I guess Kyp could at a push or Jaina/Jacen but they dont seem to have the necessary presence in the story. Mara could but it would make no sense for her character to be sent back in that direction so the newborn Skywalker seems the best candidate, if as you say
does kill Luke.
i also give 2/1 odds that Ben Skywalker will not make it through life without having a hand severed in a lightsaber duel.

"Christmas and Thanksgiving were two big holidays," remembers Robert Lee Foy, Jr., "All the Foy family would be here for Thanksgiving. We had a big meal, turkey, ham, chicken. It was a very big time. We had a corn bread dressing, sometimes Oyster Dressing.
Christmas was almost a repeat of Thanksgiving on the meal. The house was decorated with a live tree, and it was decorated with cookies that were in the shape of Santa Claus, and men and women. The house was decorated with holly and yaupon and smilax, and the banisters were draped with smilax, and over the doors they hung the holly and yaupon.
They made wreaths. You took moss and wrapped it around a wire and stuffed your pine needles and pine cones and holly, and it made a pretty wreath. The mantles would have holly and yaupon and candles. There was a homemade wreath on the front door. They used berries for color and clusters of pine cones for decorations" (Interview, 1979).
Robert Lee Foy, Sr.'s second wife, Grandma Lee, remembers frozen eggnog, ambrosia, and the camellia bush out front as large as the 3rd story of the Manor House. Christmas morning was in the front parlor, and she had a card table set up with a puzzle (Interview, 1979).
The tenant farmers at Poplar Grove would have likely celebrated some form of Jonkonnu, an African American celebration of song and dance, and noted as early as 1824 in Edenton, North Carolina. The practice continued even after Emancipation and Reconstruction and celebrated in Wilmington among the African American community until 1898. There are performances at Tryon Palace in New Bern, North Carolina, each December.
Daytime Operating Hours
The grounds, outbuildings, Manor House, Gift Shop, Basket Gallery & Animal Sanctuary will be open on these three weekends only, and Saturday for day-time tours in the Manor House.

by John Steinbeck
"A fantasia and myth...a strange and original work of art."—The New York Times Book Review
"A moving, crying pageant with wilderness strengths."—Carl Sandburg
East of Eden, John Steinbeck's passionate and exhilarating epic, re-creates the seminal stories of Genesis through the intertwined lives of two American families. The result is a purely American saga set in Steinbeck's own childhood home, the Salinas Valley of northern California. The valley is a new world both idyllic and harsh, and Steinbeck sings to it with a personal nostalgia that is clouded by the knowledge that this valley-as all human dwellings-is the location for as much tragedy as triumph.
The first family whose story is told in this novel is the Hamiltons, led by the charismatic poet-patriarch Samuel Hamilton, an Irish immigrant who raises a large and boisterous family on a mean and unyielding plot of land through charm, ingenuity, and adaptability. The Hamiltons are penniless, but Samuel and Liza's strong and traditional marriage yields nine children of every type and talent who brim with affection and potential. The children act out the numerous possibilities of American life, some making money in business and advertising, some seeking love and home life, others failing utterly in their struggle to find meaning and clarity in the chaotic possibility of a new century.
The second family, the Trasks, is introduced to us as a Connecticut father-a false war hero with a fortune of mysterious origin-his used-up wives, and his two sons: the murderous Charles and the sensitive, searching Adam. After a stint in the army and aimless years as a hobo, Adam falls in love and migrates to Salinas, intending to create his own Garden of Eden. There he presides over a fractured home, raising twin sons Caleb and Aron alone after the dissolution of his marriage to the unfathomable, treacherous Catherine Ames. Catherine herself-later known as Kate-represents the potential for evil in the world. Her life in the valley is the antithesis of that which the Trasks and Hamiltons seek to achieve, as she sinks into a limited life of meanness.
The Trasks are what Steinbeck called his "symbol people," and their story reenacts the saga of Cain and Abel, for Steinbeck one of the world's greatest stories of love, rejection, jealousy, and redemption. But Adam and his sons are held together as a family by the Chinese-American philosopher-servant Lee, who offers wisdom in the face of painful circumstances. Together the characters try to formulate personal paradises that can withstand the inevitable challenges of human existence, battling the contradiction between the desire to submit to God and tradition and the human need for self-realization and fulfillment. Much as the United States itself had to resolve its roots in Europe as it absorbed the labor of immigrants from around the world in the creation of a new nation, East of Eden's path-breaking Americans seek to free themselves from the chains of the past and achieve personal freedom.
A brilliant novel of ideas, East of Eden is far-reaching in its effort to explicate the most fundamental trials of mankind. Brutally realistic-and sometimes fatalistic-about people's ability to harm themselves and those around them, it is also a celebration of perseverance, enduring love, and the noble yearning to better oneself. And it is a work of profound optimism about the capacity of humans to triumph over adversity and determine their own fates. In prose both evanescent and dignified, Steinbeck creates in these characters and for the reader "a new love for that glittering instrument, the human soul. It is a lovely and unique thing in the universe. It is always attacked and never destroyed."
No writer is more quintessentially American than John Steinbeck. Born in 1902 in Salinas, California, Steinbeck attended Stanford University before working at a series of mostly blue-collar jobs and embarking on his literary career. Profoundly committed to social progress, he used his writing to raise issues of labor exploitation and the plight of the common man, penning some of the greatest American novels of the twentieth century and winning such prestigious awards as the Pulitzer Prize and the National Book Award. He received the Nobel Prize in 1962, "for his realistic and imaginative writings, combining as they do sympathetic humor and keen social perception." Today, more than thirty years after his death, he remains one of America's greatest writers and cultural figures. East of Eden, the novel he called "the big one," was published in 1952.

The 2013 Bike Show displayed all different types of motorcycles inside Colony Square Mall, including classic models and newer Hondas, Harley's, and BMW's.
"Just to draw attention to the people. Some of the bikers think they're not good enough to go to church just because they've got tattoos or long hair and we want to show them that everybody needs to go to church. We're trying to touch the people that don't think that they're good enough to go is really what it is," said motorcyclist, Jeff Ackley.
The bikers gave out crosses, necklaces and books while taking prayer requests from people at the mall and promoted The Dwight Reynolds Memorial Ride coming up on June 15.
"He was a very avid motorcyclist, went to church and was a good Christian. He was killed in a funeral procession last year and they're just having a ride for the year event since he killed. He was really a brother of ours. "
Ackley says it's important for drivers to watch out for bikers on the road and to make sure you're alert while driving. He says you don't need a motorcycle to come to the Rushing Wind Biker Church, anyone is welcome.

A Reason for Unreason: Returns-Based Beliefs in Game Theory
Players cooperate in experiments more than game theory would predict. In order to explain this, we introduce the 'returns-based beliefs' approach: the expected returns of a particular strategy in proportion to the total expected returns of all strategies. Using a decision analytic solution concept, Luce's (1959) probabilistic choice model, and 'hyperpriors' for ambiguity in players' cooperability, our approach explains empirical observations in classic games such as the Prisoner's Dilemma. Testing the closeness of fit of our model on Selten and Chmura (2008) data for completely mixed 2x2 games shows that with loss aversion, returns-based beliefs explain the data better than other equilibrium concepts.
