J&J's past year can be summed up in one word: recalls. The healthcare products giant had a lot of them, fueling discussions of a company that has lost its luster. This came in addition to lawsuits alleging fraudulent marketing of its antipsychotic Risperdal. The impact of these missteps shows: the government shutdown of a McNeil plant hurt inventory levels, and OTC sales fell 3% in the US last year. But a recent poll showed consumers are still attached to J&J. CEO William Weldon, who was in place during much of the product recalls, was replaced by Alex Gorsky.

PARKERSBURG - A large crowd swayed to the music of Michael Buble at Point Park Friday night.
Hundreds of people gathered to hear the musical stylings of a Buble tribute band Sway as part of the Point Park Music Series.
Organizers said the Australian-born singer of Sway hoped to bring a different crowd to the park. With Mother Nature's help and clear skies, the gathering of visitors enjoyed the music and stayed dry for the concert.

Lead singer Adam Lucas of Sydney, Australia, performs with the Michael Buble tribute band Sway in the riverfront park on Friday night.
"For as much going on in the town, I'm thrilled with the crowd," said Carrie Nesselrode, executive director of Downtown PKB.
Nesselrode said it was a larger crowd than the last concert but there wasn't an exact count before the event.
"It's eventually our goal to do something like this every first Friday," Nesselrode said. "Our goal is to have something the first Friday of every month that may not be outdoors but a community event to bring people out."
Fact Box
Music Tribute
* Michael Buble tribute band Sway has music-lovers swaying to the rhythm of his beat Friday night at Point Park.
Mike Wine of Parkersburg said he came to the concert for a night out. He said it wasn't as much about who was performing but he was eager to see how the band sounded.
Wine said he had been to the concerts in the park before and knew it was a good venue and usually nice music.
"I've been before and it's a good venue, sound wise," he added.
Jennifer Hughes of Parkersburg said she was excited for the tribute band.
"It's better than staying at home," Hughes said.
Nikki Butler of Williamstown said she attended with three friends for a "ladies night" out on the town. She said with the weather cooperating and the fact she had seen Buble in person she was excited for the young tribute singer.
"We're doing a ladies night and thought the concert would be a fun event since it's outdoor and in the summer," Butler said.
Trisha Miller of Marietta said they loved Buble and were excited for the chance to see a similar show.
Gi Smith of Marietta said she was happy for the night out and to see a great performance.
The lead singer of the band, Adam Lucas, began singing at 2 years old with his biggest musical influences as a child being Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin and Sammy Davis Jr., according to the singer's Facebook page, www.facebook.com/tributetomichaelbuble.
At about 8 years old Lucas began singing at local pubs, taking piano and voice lessons. He went on to perform in "Les Miserable," "Away," Cinderella's prince in "Into The Woods" and most recently played the lead role of Danny in the BMSS production of "Grease."
Two more concerts are scheduled for the summer at the riverfront park. The next concert will be Aug. 2 featuring Motor City Revue, an 11-piece band covering Motown and Stax hits.
Admission for the concerts is free to the public, but donations are collected through each event to help with the cost.

Well I am 61 and have been walking 5K's for a couple of years after my recovery from breast cancer. I started the C25K 3 weeks ago and my goal is to run a 5K on July 4th. I'm doing 5 - 5K's in April but doing intervals. I have signed up for the Disney 10K in January so I need to get my time down to 16 minute pace.
Kathleen E.
Grove City, OH
I am responding to this thread many years after the original post, and I have enjoyed reading everyone's experiences . I live in the mountains of NE GA. I did my first 5k on a whim for my 50th birthday in 2011. I was active and kind of in shape, but not as good as I thought! The mental challenge of running is what has kept me doing it, and the satisfaction of obtaining my personal goals. The first year 5K's were so tough, but I was elated the first time I was able to jog the whole distance. Then it was motivating as my times started to getting better, eventually consistant 28-29 minutes - not the fastest, but I'm happy with it. Since that first run in 2011, I have done MANY 5k's, 10K's, and a few half marathons (my best time being 2:17:00) . The halfs are actually my favorite now. I have also recently even taken up trail running.
My running is not about being faster than anyone else, faster than a previous time, or awards, etc. For me running (or jogging, as I do) is about feeling good about myself, being proud of myself and my accomplishments, and knowing I gave 100% for that particular run on that particuar day. That may be a little selfish, but running is a self-centered activity for the most part. And I'm thankful for my family and friends who put up with my training and runs, although some of them really don't understand. Being 50+ actually makes it all a little sweeter, and by doing it slow, steady and carefully, I hope to do this for many years to come!
I turned 55 this April but started running in January without a structured plan. Needless to say I got injured and was very discouraged. On a day before my birthday, April 11, I downloaded C25K app and started walking/jogging. The program helped me ease into jogging. I did dynamic stretching before my workouts and static stretching afterwards. This helped me to prevent injuries. I'm on week 5 and have been jogging more and walking less. I'm averaging a 10-11 minute mile. I have learned to control my breathing using the 3-3 method and "belly breathing". I plan to run my first 5k wirth obstacles on May 18 and then doing a flat 5k on June 14. My goal is to run a 10k (7 mile bridge) in Key West next year!
Wow, congratulations to all y'all fifty-plusers who've recently picked up the C25K program.
While I've never done a C25K program per-se, I am well over 50 and returned to running in my mid 50s following a six year layoff due to a badly broken leg (the surgeon said I'd walk with a limp for the rest of my life and never run again). With that said, I coach a number of "seasoned" (not old, just older than kids) individuals on my company running team, and have several tidbits of advice which will help y'all keep on track by not getting injured and frustrated:
Fat old man PRs:
In the spirit of starting to run when over 50, I thought I'd share my own experience: I'm 57 now, started running at 52, all on my own - no trainers, coaches or running group. I just thought that running would be a good thing to do from a cardio-vascular perspective... and so I charged into it. I struggled mightily, but two years later I ran my first marathon. And following that first marathon I had so much over-exuberance that I had this insane idea that if I could run one marathon, why not two in one year? So I started training and running and just went crazy about getting conditioned - and wound up repeatedly hurting myself. But instead of letting myself fully heal, as soon as most of the pain from what ever it was that I injured was gone, I'd be back on the road or trail again - and sure enough, I'd get injured again. I literally ricocheted from one injury to another. My net result was that I didn't run any marathons that year (2012) and the two HM's that I did run were horrible and not fun at all. So I vowed to manage my "exuberance" and as a result 2013 was much better running year.
The points that shipo made are right on... don't over-do it. Watch your pace and your growth. It is way more fun to run when nothing hurts!!
Finished C25K with the Running Through Redlands 5K I had just lost 50 pounds and am on for an additional 50lbs goal. My present "goal" is 5 5ks within 60 days and then start training for c210K...and on from there.
The toughest part is dealing with the knees and giving them the rest they need between runs. This stuff is addicting!
Thanks so much, shipo. This was the info that I've been looking for.
Yes I am 58 and just ran my first 5k....it took me an hour.....I was not as prepared as I thought. the course was mainly up high from the start....I always practiced with a hill in the middle or at the end.....so doing all hills was a challenged. I have so much more energy after a power walk and jog....loving every time I have the opportunity to get out there......I am trying a 5k each month for the rest of the year. Helping me to lose inches as well. thanks for your encouragement and help!
Hey Judy, congratulations on your first 5K, quite the accomplishment for a 58 year old (from a 57 year old).
Losing inches is the best way to look at things; the scale may go down, the scale may stop moving, hell, the scale may even go back up from time-to-time, but as long as you're losing inches, it's all good.
Fat old man PRs:
I am not sure about your phone and what will work. I have an I phone and I use Map My Run and Nike Run. Both will allow your music to play and play coaching remarks over the music. Love to run to music! So glad to have found this thread. I just started running 1 1/2 years ago at the age of 59. I had always walked for exercise but never run. It is very inspiring and helpful to read the comments!
Congratulations on completing your first 5km. I am doing my first 5km run on the 24th and feeling a bit nervous. I am 56 and just started running outdoors at the beginning of April.
I will soon be turning 64. I started running (more of a jog actually) just a little over 4 months ago. I used a different program but had to modify it to work for me. I passed over the C25K because the jump in run times was just too much for me. Essentially, I have steadily increased my run times by 1 min each week. I still keep the 1 min walk time inbetween runs and repeat 4 times. This slowly increases my endurance and total distance. This week I am at 12 minute runs. The 12 min run is just slightly less than 1 mile running with no stop. I did my first 5K when I was only able to run 3 minutes. Now that was a challenge! My second 5K was at 8 minute runs and I finished in 36 minutes.My daughter and I have our next 5K in Sept, and are planning ones in Oct and Nov. Having her to run the 5K's with and share our training run experience is a huge help. (can't train together due to distance). Like others here, I am focused on building endurance, speed can happen later. The truth is, I still HATE running! That "addiction" or "high" has not happened for me. So, I set 5K runs to keep a goal (and an obvious reason) in front of me. And I buy cute things to run in to make it more fun and if I don't run I will feel quilty! Mostly, I have created a training schedule that allows me to consistently feel successful. (I am the kind of person that if I am not going to win, I have no interest in playing the game.)
WOW, I thought I was crazy to even consider taking up running for the very first time in my life....at age 51. I see that I'm far from being alone. After reading a couple of pages in this thread, the wife and I start the C25K tomorrow!
We recently returned to the gym after moving earlier this year and I have already set a short term goal for myself. To loose 20 to 30 pounds and being able to run 1.5 miles in 15 minutes. A friend of mine recommended the C25K program today and I found this site. Right now my best time at the 1.5 mile is 27 minutes, so I have some work to do. I've never been a runner before but I realised this past week that I cannot meet my goal without running. I was already planning to modify my workout routine to include some running and this plan looks like what I was already thinking about. There's no better time then the present to start! And like Judi811 above said....I HATE RUNNING!
Day one complete.....oh crap! But only had to skip one running segment, so for me it was a success!
Anyone know of some good iphone apps to track distance that will work along side the c25k app?
In response to your previous post first, it took me a long time before I liked running... Now I don't know how I lived without it... You'll see!
To answer you most recent post, I use RunKeeper (yes there is a free version). Lots of options, more than I could ever use, but it works. I've been using it for 4 years or so.
Keep at it, you won't regret it -- really!

Hello, I am Becky Carlberg, gardening enthusiast from Southeast Oklahoma. I have degrees in Biology from Eastern Oklahoma State College and Oklahoma State University. Teaching, research work, and competing in art shows then followed. I earned my Master�s Degree in Plant Pathology from OSU and continued graduate work on a Doctorate of Botany at the University of Oklahoma.
With my family, we twice had an opportunity to live in Europe. We were in England for five years and then later in Germany for seven years. It was an excellent education for our sons. I returned to gardening, writing and art, became a Master Gardener, as well as an Oklahoma certified Master Naturalist. I am the gardener in charge of the Shawnee Japanese Peace Garden, a member of the Deep Fork Audubon Society, and now call my five acre Backyard Wildlife Habitat and Oklahoma Wildscape outside Shawnee home.
My name is Linda Workman Smith. The first step of my gardening journey began in the hills northwest of Van Buren, Arkansas, where my parents�both from farming families�raised seven children.
This is not to say that I�ve always had a love for gardening although over the years I�ve managed to keep my hands in the dirt. In 2000, my husband�s employment brought us to Shawnee where we settled on two acres west of town. Being unemployed for the first time in many years�and planning to stay that way�I started gardening on a small scale.
I have been a member of the Multi-County Master Gardener Association for several years and thoroughly enjoy being in the organization. I now have many flower beds and I�ve expanded my gardens to include lots of vegetable varieties, several fruit trees, strawberries, blackberries, raspberries and grapes. Every year I try to plant something different. I don�t grow a lot of any one thing, but a little bit of lots of things!
11 April 2013 Blog
Becky Emerson Carlberg
Below freezing again last night, long enough for ice to form over the puddles and thick frost to cover the windscreens and roofs. The last freeze usually happens by the 15th of April in this area, but this year who knows?
I am happy to report the Narrow-leaf Puccoons are now in bloom. The freeze did not affect these guys, but they are closer to the ground…..no more than 6 inches high in my area. I have read in other places the Puccoon can reach nearly 16 inches. The ground temperatures are about 42 degrees right now, and that may have been a factor in protecting the low-growing Puccoons. Even though they are found throughout the central USA into the southern Canadian Provinces (but not the Eastern Seaboard or Washington, Oregon and Idaho), the Puccoon is endangered in Indiana (can't compete with the megafarms and corn production) and probably extinct in Michigan.
The Narrow-leaf Puccoon is in the borage family (the group with Forget-me-nots and flowers usually blue!). The flowers grow in clusters and each flower consists of a narrow yellow tube ending in 5 joined frilly edged petals. The bright yellow flowers appear at the ends of stems 6 inches or longer, and the plant may fan out from its base into a small herb bush. The leaves, arranged in alternate fashion, are very narrow at the ends, but become slightly broader at the base of the plant. The leaf blades and stems are "hairy" and can be irritating due to their calcium carbonate and silicon dioxide content.
The Puccoon is a perennial that prefers dry prairies, disturbed soils and open areas or woods. Dry soils, lots of sun and sandy, clay or loamy soils. Perfect for central Oklahoma.
Puccoon comes from the word poughkone in the Powhatan language. Spoken by the Powhatan Algonquian tribe that lived in eastern Virginia and southern Maryland region, the language became extinct in the 18th century. Oddly enough, English borrowed many Powhatan words we are very familiar with in this part of Oklahoma: hickory, hominy, opossum, pokeweed, persimmon, raccoon, terrapin and chinquapin as in chinquapin oak.
Puccoon was a common name for many plants with roots that produced red and yellow dyes. This is why I will narrow the field to Lithospermum incisum, the , the official name for our Narrow-leaf Puccoon. Lithospermum means "stone seed" as each flower produces 4 hard little nutlets. And just to confuse the issue a little more, the showy early spring flowers tend not to set many seeds. A few weeks later, a series of hidden unopened flowers in leaf axils will become fertilized and these flowers produce most the seeds that are responsible for new offspring. The plant is announcing "here I am, do not forget I am here!" (remember, they are in the forget- me-not family) as spring arrives, but the pollinators may not be out in great numbers. As the season warms up, the odds increase for fertilization with more pollinating insects flying about. Sly Narrow-leaf Puccoons.
Go look but do not disturb. Forget not where they are and as good gardeners wait for the seeds later. The plants will thank you.

CORPUS CHRISTI – The Texas A&M – Corpus Christi men's basketball team will face Cal State Fullerton as a result of the 2013 Ramada Worldwide BracketBusters matchups, it was announced today. The Islanders and Titans will do battle at the Dugan Wellness Center on Saturday, Feb. 23, at 1 p.m.
It will mark the second meeting all-time between the two squads, as A&M – Corpus Christi knocked off Cal State Fullerton in the season opener in 2002-03, 83-76. That game was a neutral site contest that was part of the Hawaiian Airlines Tipoff Classic.
This year's contest will also be a reunion of sorts for Islanders assistant coach Yaphett King. King played two years at Fullerton, leading the Titans to the Round of 16 in the National Invitation Tournament in 2005.
Last year, the Islanders knocked off Central Michigan in the Bracketbusters in Mount Pleasant, Mich., 49-47. That contest was the only other time the Islanders took part in the Bracketbusters, which is in its 11th and final year of existence.
The Islanders will play a return game to Fullerton in either the 2013-14 or 2014-15 seasons as part of the Bracketbusters agreement. In return for last year's Bracketbusters, the Islanders will host Central Michigan next season.
This week, the Islanders will take part in a pair of contests for Homecoming week, as they face Lamar and McNeese State on Stripes Court at the American Bank Center. Thursday's game will tip off at approximately 7:30 p.m., and will be the annual pink game, as fans wearing pink will get $5 off the price of admission. Saturday's Homecoming game takes place at 7 p.m. as the Islanders conclude the week's festivities with a matchup against the Cowboys.

Summer influx keeps local food banks busy
Published: Saturday, June 22, 2013 at 6:01 a.m.
Last Modified: Saturday, June 22, 2013 at 11:22 p.m.
Three hours remain until closing time, and the list of people waiting to receive food from the Good Samaritan Food Bank in Houma is already up to No. 27. The cut-off is 30 people.
Need help?
Good Samaritan operates three food banks locally:
Houma: 254 Magnolia St., 851-5523. Open from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. Mondays, 1-4 p.m. Wednesdays and 9 a.m. to noon Saturdays.
Thibodaux: 100 Birch St., 447-9776. Open from 8 a.m. to noon Tuesdays and Thursdays and 10 a.m. to noon Saturdays.
Raceland: 2084 La. 182, 537-7706. Open 12:30-3:30 p.m. Mondays and 9 a.m. to noon Wednesdays.
"We have to stop it there, or we'll be here all night," says Reynold Pitre, the food bank's manager as he shuffles through paperwork. On the other side of the warehouse door, the lobby is filled with patient families. "You saw all those people?"
Local food banks are busy year-round, he says, but the summer months are especially hectic. With kids out of school and no cafeteria to feed them a daily breakfast and lunch, there are more mouths to feed.
From late May until early August, the Houma food bank sees about a 20 percent increase in service, said Darwin Lafont, volunteer and president of the nonprofit's board of directors.
"It's definitely picking up," agreed Melodia Benoit, manager of the Good Samaritan food banks in Thibodaux and Raceland.
Aside from the holiday season, Lafont said, this is the busiest time of year. The food bank is distributing about 11 tons of food among 100 to 200 families every month, he said.
"Some families just can't afford it," Lafont said of the cost of groceries.
Pam Allan, of Gray, said her family is one. Allan has three children — a 4, 5 and 7-year old. Since they have been out of school, she said, her grocery bill has skyrocketed while her budget has shrunk.
Her monthly food stamp allowance was recently reduced, she said. She used to receive $526 every month, but after she landed a new job, that amount went down by $200.
"That's the whole reason I'm here," she said, noting it was her first time to go to a food bank. "My kids are eating a whole lot more, and it's costing me an extra $100 to $200."
During the school year, Allan said, she buys fewer groceries.
"Because they eat breakfast and lunch at school, the only meal we eat all together is dinner," she said. "Now, they are at home, and it's breakfast, lunch — snack, snack, snack — and then dinner."
Allan's children participate in the school's federally subsidized free- and reduced-price lunch program, she said, which also keeps the cost low.
In 2011-12, about 69 percent of students in Terrebonne Parish public schools were participating in the free and reduced lunch program, according to data from the Louisiana Department of Education. In Lafourche Parish, that rate was close to 61 percent of students.
Those numbers are a reflection of a larger statewide issue, according to Natalie Jayroe, president and CEO of Second Harvest Food Bank of Greater New Orleans and Acadiana. One in five children in south Louisiana don't know where their next meal will come from, she said.
And that's especially true during the summer months. For that reason, she said, Second Harvest operates an annual summer feeding program in New Orleans, providing more than 200,000 meals to children in Orleans and Jefferson parishes.
The local free summer lunch program, which is not affiliated with Second Harvest, provides meals at four rotating locations to any hungry child under the age of 18. But the program ends June 27, school district officials said.
"If there isn't a program going on your area, I would tell parents to reach out to community organizations," Jayroe said. "We're in New Orleans, but Second Harvest serves the whole southern part of the state. We want to make sure that children are safe and have access to nutritious meals."

A fun family trip down the Delaware River this past Saturday, turned into a nightmare, when one of the groups four rafts hit the Route 590 Lackawaxen Bridge. Three children and one adult were thrown from the vessel as water rapidly swallowed the raft that later became stuck on rocks that surround the bridge.
The current took them into the Delaware River nearby where they were rescued by the National Park Service. The family members were each wearing life jackets.
Upper Delaware Park Rangers Kevin Reish and Ron Babus were just launching a routine patrol when they heard the cries for help. The rangers rescued the children and mother, who was put on oxygen and later taken to Bon Secures Community Hospital.
The trip was the family's first down the river and the shaken father, Mark Fetzer simply said, "never again."
Although the river can't officially be closed, Ranger Susie Kasper said the park service can, "strongly discourage," people from going on the river.
Saturday morning, at the Barryville gage, the river was measured at 6.23 feet. When water levels reach 6 feet, it is mandatory for all to wear life jackets.
Reish said that when the river is at elevated levels, people need to, "exercise caution because currents are swift." Self rescues, he said, "are difficult at best."
The primary cause of drownings, he said is the result of people not wearing life jackets. Since 1980, there have been 63 drownings, to which Reish said were the result of people not wearing life jackets. There has never been a drowning where people were wearing a life jacket.
There were five drownings in 2011, which Reish said were mainly men between the ages of 18 and 30 years of age. Because of the number of drownings, the park was able to secure funds to start a water safety campaign in 2012.

part of a facility closure or layoff is considered to be a "dislocated worker." Title I of the Federal
Workforce Investment Act (WIA) extends a wide range of services to dislocated workers.
In Maryland, there is an extensive network of service providers in place to assist the dislocated
worker during his or her transition. Maryland's Dislocation Services Unit works closely with this
network that includes One Stop Career Centers operated through a partnership of the Division of
Workforce Development and Adult Learning in the Department of Labor, Licensing and Regulation
(DLLR) with local Workforce Investment Boards (WIB) in Maryland's twelve (12) Workforce Investment
Areas (WIA).
The WIA Dislocated Worker legislation recommends early intervention on behalf of the worker. In an
ideal situation, service provision is initiated before the employee's last day of work. Orientation
sessions are held on-site to inform workers of the range of services as well as where, when, and how
to access those services, often relying on the Unemployment Insurance system for financial support
while receiving program services.
This booklet has been prepared in an attempt to briefly discuss these services and the agencies
that provide them.
Continuing Your Health Benefits Coverage
May I continue my health benefits?
The Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act (COBRA) gives workers and their families who lose their health
benefits the right to choose to continue group health benefits provided by their group health plan for limited
periods of time under certain circumstances such as voluntary or involuntary job loss, reduction in the hours
worked, transition between jobs, death, divorce, and other life events. Qualified individuals may be required to pay
the entire premium for coverage up to 102 percent of the cost to the plan.
COBRA generally requires that group health plans sponsored by employers with 20 or more employees in the prior
year offer employees and their families the opportunity for a temporary extension of health coverage (called
continuation coverage) in certain instances where coverage under the plan would otherwise end.
COBRA outlines how employees and family members may elect continuation coverage. It also requires employers and
plans to provide notice.
For more general information, visit the U.S.
Department of Labor web page.

My Web Development Tools (Part Two)Sunday, March 23rd, 2008
I'm back for the conclusion of my post from yesterday (My Web Development Tools). Part two will focus mainly on my browser of choice…FIREFOX! I know that Firefox is probably not new to most of my readers, but I have installed a great set of add-ons that will make any web developers life easier. By the way don't forget that Firefox Version 3 is now available in Beta4. If you'd like to check it out it can be found here.
Tool Number Four: Firefox 2
I LOVE FIREFOX! There, now that that's out of the way I can concentrate on giving you details as to why I use Firefox to develop sites. I use Firefox for two main reasons. I code every site and test as I go with Firefox. The main reason is that the fine folks at Microsoft have discontinued Internet Explorer for Mac; which quite honestly is fine with me. I do have a standby Windows machine dedicated to testing once I am sure everything looks fine in Firefox. The other reason I prefer to do all of my work with Firefox is the great add-ons that you can download from the mozilla site. That's the beauty of using an open source browser; the community of developers come up with some of the coolest add-ons to make your internet experience more enjoyable.My favorite add-on for Firefox is the Web Developer Toolbar by Chris Pederick.

It's actually $36 @ Kagi.
Yes, Keyboard Maestro version 4 is working fine on both Leopard and Snow Leopard. Version 3 is working on Leopard, haven't tested on Snow Leopard. Think you need 4 though.
Keyboard Maestro is the single strongest productivity enhancer on OS X. KM allows us to program any repetitive task sequence in a matter of minutes. We've tried AppleScript and Automator but for sophisticated tasks they take hours of tinkering to get them to do just what we want. With Keyboard Maestro, if you can write the steps down, your macro is already done. Our programming team moving over from Windows was thrilled to be able to set some essential keyboard shortcuts to what they are used to to get off to a fast start on Mac.
Personally I use it to make keyboard shortcuts work the same across multiple applications and to make Apple Mail accept Eudora keyboard shortcuts. I also have hot keys for filing mail. The first software I bought when the office switched from Windows to Mac was a site license for Keyboard Maestro.
Can anyone post some feedback whether or not this is working on slow leopard?
I love it. It makes frequent activities so much faster. I can navigate to a favorite web page in my default browser with a simple keyboard command, system-wide, whether my browser is open already or not. I can open a favorite document or run a favorite application with a simple keyboard command. You need to do little more than think it, and it's done. One step. So flexible and powerful!
I tried KM after reading about that Daring Fireball used it too.
I apply GTD at work with Entourage. KM made my life easy INSTANTLY.
KM is fast, works as advertised and has strong support.
Bought it, use it non-stop. Have configured Safari to behave like Firefox shortcut-wise, Entourage to do my bidding and am slowly establishing global shortcut keys.
Final: Keyboard Maestro just works.
One of my top utilities. KM lets me save tons of time and clicking with shortcuts in every shape and size. Stable and versatile it keeps my work flow flying.

NC Gov. McCrory briefed on coal ash deal with Duke
Published: Monday, February 17, 2014 at 4:20 p.m.
Last Modified: Monday, February 17, 2014 at 4:20 p.m.
RALEIGH, N.C. — North Carolina's top environmental official says he briefed Gov. Pat McCrory about a negotiated settlement with Duke Energy that would have fined the $50 billion corporation $99,000 to resolve violations for groundwater contamination leaching from two huge coal ash dumps.
State Department of Environment and Natural Resources Secretary John Skvarla told lawmakers at an oversight hearing Tuesday that the Republican governor's only directions were to protect the environment and do the right thing.
The state agency has put its proposed deal with the nation's largest electricity provider on hold following the massive Feb. 2 spill of coal ash into the Dan River.
McCrory worked for Duke for 28 years before running for governor in 2008 and has benefited from more than $1.1 million in campaign donations linked to the company.

The Texas A&M – Corpus Christi women's basketball closes out the first leg of its four-game road trip, taking on Lamar in Beaumont on Saturday at 4 p.m.
• It was another close loss for the Islanders, falling to SHSU by three on Thursday. Eight of the teams 10 losses have come by single digits.
• In their two outings prior to the one at SHSU, the Islanders set school records for largest margin of victory with a 29-point win against Southeastern, followed with a 53-point win against New Orleans, which was the biggest win against a Division I opponent and the third largest ever.
• The Islanders scored 97 points against the Privateers, which tied for the sixth most in school history and the second highest in Southland Conference play. It was the most since they also scored 97 against Cal State-Bakersfield on March 17, 2010.
• It was a difficult start to conference play in their first six matchups, as the Islanders dropped five of them. However, only one of those six teams was not picked in the Southland preseason polls to finish in the top six.
• The magic numbers for the team this season had been 40 and 70. The Islanders were 7-0 when shooting 40 percent or better and 6-0 when scoring at least 70 points. However, this streak came to a halt, as the team shot 40 percent and scored 76 points against SHSU in a losing effort.
• Brittany Mbamalu and Jasmine Shaw have recorded a majority of the team's threes, combining for 106 of the team's 130 made shots from deep.
• After averaging 21.5 turnovers in nonconference play, the Islanders have done a better job of holding on to the ball with just 14.7 turnovers a game in Southland play.
The Islanders will look to even up the record in the meeting with Lamar currently holding a slight 9-8 advantage coming into this matchup. The Lady Cardinals have won nearly all of the games as of late though, picking up seven of the last nine victories, including the last five in a row. They have also won the only two games between the two schools in the Southland Conference Tournament. The last victory for the Islanders in the series came back on March 3, 2010.
Lamar enters this game with only one more win that the Islanders; however, six of those wins have come in the Southland to put the Lady Cardinals at second place in the Southland.
They enter this game shooting nearly 40 percent each night while scoring 69.8 points a game, which ranks as the second highest in the league. Lamar is also very smart with the ball, as they only turn it over 15.6 times a game compared to its opponents 18.6 for a +3.1 turnover margin, also second best in the conference.
The Lady Cardinals also shoot the three ball at a very high rate, as they have 83 more shots from behind the arc than the Islanders who are a big three-point shooting team. Lamar does make a high number of those threes though, as once again it ranks second in the Southland with 7.6 made threes a night.
The team leader in threes is Shauna Long with 42, and she comes off the bench. She is also one of four Lamar players to average double digits in points with 10.9 a game. Leading the way in scoring is Dominique Edwards with 16.3 on a nightly basis, which is the forth best in the Southland. She is also the team's leading rebounder with 8.6 a game. The other two players who put up at least 10 a night are Gia Ayres and JaMeisha Edwards who average 14.3 and 11.5, respectively, and are tied for second on the team with 34 threes.
An interesting aspect of the Islanders' two big wins last week is that they put up huge offensive numbers despite having struggles in their three-point shooting – which has been one of their strengths all year. They went a combined 8-of-36 in those games despite entering those contests with a 34 percent shooting percentage from deep.
However, the team did make 37 of its total 73 shots from the field against Southeastern Louisiana to shoot over 50 percent for the first time against a Southland opponent since it went 52.5 percent from the field against McNeese State on Feb. 20, 2010.
Against SHSU, the Islanders struggled from deep, making just five of their 18 shots from three with three of those coming from Alissa Campanero on her four shots from long distance.
A big part of the offensive success a week ago was the team's ability to work the ball inside. That was accentuated with a huge day in the paint against Southeastern, as the Islanders scored 62 of their 83 points in the paint. Those 62 points alone would have produced more total points than the Islanders mustered in five out of nine of their games played in the Southland.
An obvious aspect when looking at last week's box scores is the presence of Islanders freshmen in the starting lineup. Coach Chadwick and his staff infused Camesha Davis and Kassie Jones into the lineup for the first time together and the freshmen flourished, as the duo combined for 29 in the Southeastern win, followed by a combined 31 against New Orleans with Davis notching her first double-double as well as career highs with 19 points and 11 rebounds.
Against SHSU Jones kept rolling for her third consecutive game with double figures in the scoring column to go along with a career-high five rebounds. On the other hand, Camesha Davis made her only field goal attempt and pulled down five rebounds, but was limited due to foul trouble and picked up her fifth with more than 10 minutes left on the clock.
Jones has started the last five games, while Davis has gotten the first three starts of her career in as many games. As a team, the Islanders have sent out seven different combinations to start games this season.
Sophomore Ashanti Plummer has had her offensive struggles throughout her Islanders career, but against New Orleans, she had an opportunity to overcome those. The sophomore put up the first double-digit scoring performance of her career, as she posted 10 points, shooting 3-of-5 from the field and 4-of-6 from the free-throw line with five rebounds in 20 minutes of play.
The Islanders had a wealth of distribution when it came to their contributions against New Orleans. All 12 players on the roster not only played in the game, but all of them also recorded double-digit minutes. Eleven of the 12 grabbed rebounds, 10 of the 12 scored points and nine of the 12 recorded assists in the ballgame.
Against SHSU all 12 players once again saw playing time with 10 different players getting in the scoring column and just as many pulling down at least one rebound. In their last three games, the Islanders have had at least four different players record double digits in points scored.
Over the last three games, the Islanders totaled 69 assist. The 27 dimes against the Lady Lions marked the most against a Southland opponent and were just three off the school record of 30 that was set against Huston-Tillotson on Feb. 19, 2001. The three games represented three of the top four assist games on the season, and more impressively saw the team commit just 36 turnovers for a 1.92 assist-to-turnover ratio.
This season the Islanders have already tallied four games with at least 20 assists after not having any in the last three seasons combined.
The 180 points in the last two wins were the most since the Islanders scored a combined 181 points on Dec. 9, 2006 and Dec. 16, 2006 with 85 vs. Huston-Tillotson followed by 96 against St. Mary's. The last time A&M – Corpus Christi scored that many against two D-I opponents was during the last two games of 2002-03 season, as it scored a combined 181 against IPFW and Lipscomb.
Heading into their two games in Nashville in November, the Islanders had been outrebounded by 27 total boards. However, A&M – Corpus Christi dominated the rebounding stats in its trip to the Volunteer State, outrebounding both Belmont and Tennessee State by 13. The Islanders then finished off the roadtrip by outrebounding Texas State by 19, while also snatching up 23 offensive rebounds compared to the Bobcats' seven.
The Islanders once again cleaned up everything on the boards when they returned home, snatching up 15 more rebounds than UTSA, and then pulled down 11 more than UTPA.
After getting outrebounded for the first time in five games at Texas Southern, the Islanders won the rebound battle against UTA despite losing the game. They then backed it up with 17 more boards than Huston-Tillotson.
However, as of late, the Islanders have had similar rebounding results as the first games of the season. Through the first six games in Southland Conference play, the rebounding difference has led to several of the Islanders' losses, as they were outrebounded by an average margin of 6.2, dropping them from first to fourth in that category.
Their work on the boards helped lead the Islanders to their massive wins against Southeastern and New Orleans though, as they outrebounded the Lady Lions 44-34 and then pulled down an incredible 29 more boards than the Privateers.
In the loss to SHSU the Islanders fought hard on the boards against a team that has a lot of size, but ended up with two boards less than the Bearkats. Remarkably, the Islanders have the exact amount of rebounds as their Southland opponents with 329 for a rebounding margin of zero in conference play.
Jasmine Shaw, a senior transfer from Marshall, has tallied five games of 20 or more points this season and is averaging 15.6 points a game, which ranks sixth in the Southland. Last season, no Islander had more than two games exceeding 20 points throughout the entire campaign.
In the game against Tennessee State, Shaw struggled from the field, going just 3-of-12 and 1-of-6 from downtown. However, she still made a huge impact on the team, setting a career high in rebounds with 13 — seven offensively — and in assists with nine. She also knocked down seven of her nine free throws to give her 14 points on the night, meaning she came just one assist short of picking up the first triple-double in Islanders' history. For good measure in that game she also hit the game-winning jumper with five seconds left and recorded four steals in the matchup.
She then struggled in her next two games, scoring a total of just seven points, making just three of her 20 attempts from the field, missing all seven of her three-point attempts. However, she bounced back against UTPA with 17 points, going 6-for-9 from the field, including two threes.
Shaw then followed up that performance with an even bigger one, scoring a career-high 28 points against Texas Southern, including seven threes, which tied a school record. Shaw kept rolling heading into the Christmas break, knocking down another five threes and a total of 19 points at UTA. She then added 16 points to go along with five rebounds and five assists against Huston-Tillotson.
In her first two Southland games, Shaw racked up 13 points against the Sugar Bears, followed by 19 points, five rebounds and three assists against Oral Roberts. Then, in her third game in the conference, she exploded for a career-high 29 points, while once again tying the school record with seven threes. She also crashed the boards for 10 rebounds to pick up her second double-double of the season. She then added 19 more against SFA to raise her to the third leading scorer in the conference.
She struggled against McNeese, though, as the Cowgirls held Shaw to just 2-of-6 from the field with no threes and just four points — her second lowest total of the season. Then, despite scoring 11 at Nicholls, she struggled from deep once again, making just one of her seven three-point attempts.
It was an all-around solid performance from the senior against Southeastern, as she scored 12 points to go along with eight rebounds, six assists, three steals and a block.
Senior Brandi Huff had a breakthrough performance in the matchup against Tennessee State, setting a career high in rebounds while matching her top scoring outing. The Rockport-Fulton native notched her first career double-double, pulling down 11 boards to go along with a team high 15 points. She then matched her career high in rebounds against UTSA, picking up five on offense and six on defense.
Against UTPA, she hit double figures in the scoring column for the third time of the season with 12 points. Then at Texas Southern, Huff had seven points and six rebounds and tied career-highs in blocks (2) and steals (2).
Huff had arguably the biggest game of her tenure with a career-high 21 points to go along with 10 rebounds against Huston-Tillotson for her second double-double of the season. She went 7-of-9 from the field and made all seven of her shots from the charity stripe. Huff also blocked two shots and dished out two assists.
After struggling in the Southland opener, Huff bounced back to score nine points against Oral Roberts. She also set career-highs in the game with three steals and four blocks. Then, against Northwestern State she helped crash the boards with seven rebounds, as well as going a perfect 3-for-3 from the field for six points. She followed that up with nine points against SFA.
Despite coming off the bench against Southeastern, Huff had one of her biggest games in conference, going 8-of-13 from the field for 18 points to go along with six rebounds in a big win. Then, once again off the bench, Huff scored 14 in the dominant win against New Orleans. She then kept rolling with her third consecutive game with double digits in the score column with 13 against SHSU. She has now scored 45 points in the last three games.
Freshman Brittany Mbamalu has made a significant impact on the team, especially with her pinpoint shooting ability from three-point range. With 54 threes this season, she currently ranks fifth in Islanders' history for a single season.
In her first two games, she only saw two minutes of action combined. However, she logged 19 minutes of play against Southern Utah, and hit three threes for nine points, earning herself a spot in the starting rotation.
In her first seven games as a starter, Mbmamlu hit double figures in each outing. She now ranks first in the Southland in three pointers made (2.8 per game, 51 total). Mbamalu also shattered a school record with 18 three-point attempts in the game at UTA with the previous high being 13 — which she had tied in the game at Texas Southern.
Her streak of double figure performances was brought to a halt against Huston-Tillotson where she only had nine points. However, this was only recorded 16 minutes of play after she suffered an injury in the first half. She then got back in double figures with 10 points against UCA in her first conference game.
Mbamalu posted her ninth and 10th games in double digits with four three pointers against the Lady Demons for 12 points before knocking down five from deep for a game-high 15 points at McNeese.
She had the biggest game of her young career against Nicholls with 23 points to go along with seven threes, tying a school record. Amazingly, 20 of those points came in the first half, as well as six of the threes before the Colonels did a better job guarding her in the final 20 minutes of play.
Despite the big wins against Southeastern and New Orleans, Mbamalu struggled in the two games, going just 3-of-20 from behind the arc. She only scored two points against Southeastern, which was her lowest total since she failed to score in only two minutes of action against Western Illinois in the season opener. Her struggles continued in the loss to SHSU, as the only field goal she made was a three that banked in off the glass to finish with just four points on the night.
Time after time the Islanders have been involved in nail bitters with a few going there way, but several of them ending up with them coming up just short. Eight of the Islanders' 10 losses this season have come by single digits. The only game in which they really were blown out was a 28-point loss at McNeese. If you exclude that game from the equation, the Islanders have lost their other nine games by a combined total of 53 points, an average of just 5.9 points.
During the early signing period, the Islanders received National Letters of Intent from Emmeri Archer (Brooklyn, N.Y./ South Shore HS), Daryon Fields (Spring, Texas/St. Pius High School), Ashley James (Highland Village, Texas/Marcus High School) and Jennifer Ramirez (Brooklyn, N.Y./ASA Junior College).
A 5-foot-7 guard, Archer comes to the Islanders as a three-star recruit with a 90 ranking from ESPN. It also ranks her as the 18th player nationally at her position.
Coming from Spring, Texas, Fields will bring some inside presence to the Coastal Bend. The 6-foot-2 post is ranked 42nd in the nation at her position and 309th nationally overall. In her junior year at St. Pius, Fields nearly averaged a double-double with 10 points a game to go along with eight rebounds each time out.

ENGS 90: Engineering Design Methodology and Project Completion
This course is the second unit in the two-course team engineering design sequence ENGS 89/90. The objective of the course is to develop the students' professional abilities by providing a realistic project experience in engineering analysis, design, and development. Students continue with the design teams formed in ENGS 89 to complete their projects. Design teams are responsible for all aspects of their respective projects: science, innovation, analysis, experimentation, economic decisions and business operations, planning of projects, patents, and relationships with clients. Mid-term and final oral presentations and written reports are required. A faculty member is assigned to each design team to serve as consultant to the team's efforts.

Ride in comfort and style
The Ergon GP1 is one of Ergon's most popular grips. Its latest verion, the GP1 Bioleder grip, is the same grip in an updated leather version. It'll add the timeless appeal of leather to your bike and allow you to ride in comfort all day.
The GP1 is a great starting point for an exploration of Ergon's wares. The grip features a harder rubber on the outside and a soft patterned leather pad that both grips the hand or glove and offers great support. Each grip is held in place by a forged aluminum alloy clamp set by an Allen key. By comparison, the GP1 is a bit more forgiving than the race-oriented GX1. So those looking for the most comfort, look no further.
To update the GP1, rather than just sewing a swath of leather onto its grips and calling it a day, Ergon used an in-mold leather technology designed in cooperation with footwear make Quoc Pham. This means that the leather becomes an integral part of the grip, not merely an add-on. Ergon uses leather sourced in Bavaria, Germany. The raw hide leather is colored with vegetable dyes and no heavy metals are used in its production. In fact, it is open-pore and certified hypo-allergenic. In addition, the aluminum used for the base and the clamp is 100% recycled.
Since the grip is a unique shape, the wing is right where some glove makers are putting extra padding and provides more support for the palm of the hand.
The Ergon GP-1 Bioleder grips are available in Black or Brown with Chrome or Black clamps.

Great Grips.
Folks seem to love or hate these. I'm in the former category and have them on all my bikes (8 to date). I've got the cork finish ones on my folder that gets reasonable use and abuse (going in planes etc.,) and where the cork (cork like material) meets the rubber on one grip it seems to be more flexible or something (separating maybe???). The regular rubber ones are on all my mountain and flat bar bikes—I get numb hands pretty regularly (carpal tunnel) and these help to reduce (not eliminate) as I rotate the wide part up a little so it forces me to have a more neutral grip (no real bend in my wrist

'The Vampire Diaries' Recap: Season 5, Episode 13, 'Total Eclipse of the Heart'
Well, Katherine sure is loving life in Elena's body in this week's episode of "Vampire Diaries" and we're quickly introduced to her new prospect – why Stefan, of course. After successfully deleting all of Elena's old Damon pictures, it's out with the old and in the new (well new "ish" I suppose).
Anyways, rekindled love interest Stefan quickly finds Damon's handiwork from last episode – ya no, just the dead body of an Augustine dude. We all remember Aaron, right? Well cat is out of the bag Damon…
Speaking of Augstine, we're taken back into the lairs of Dr. Westfield's cave where he's got some guy named Joey tied up in the midst of vampire transition. But what's this – a hot (uninvited) girl shows up? Her name is Sloan – and apparently she's interested in all these little vampire experiments. Wonder what that's all about…something tells me we'll find out soon.
And then there was Enzo – Stefan finally makes the connection that this age-old vampire is the method to Damon's recent madness. Quite politely, Stefan invites Enzo to skip town – and when Enzo won't give him what he wants? Well…. Stefan (almost) kills him.
So here's something odd – newly single Tyler and Nadia sure are hitting it off at the bar, and while Matt may also be there, no one can deny there's definitely a spark. Unless maybe I'm speaking too soon because as soon as Tyler heads to the bathroom, Nadia start pumping Matt for information, which she of course compels him to forget.
Well despite Stefan's efforts, Enzo's back, but what in the world do he and Damon want with Jeremy? Regardless, they take him from Bonnie and we're all left wondering…but our curiosity is not piqued for long. They don't want Jeremy – they need Bonnie's witchy ways of course! She's going to locate Dr. Maxfield. But why, you ask? Revenge.
Oh gosh, and now we're at some awkward high-school (but not) type dance thing and Katherine/Elena is dancing with Stefan. Caroline quickly breaks up the pair to vent about her Klaus fiasco. Boohoo – love you or hate you, I'm pretty sure most fans wanted this long-awaited hookup.
Uh oh…someone's a little green with envy. Katherine calls her daughter Nadia to do her dirty work. So what does she want to know?
"Does Caroline have feelings for Stefan," she asks. Wow, what a rookie question. Although they may flirt, I really don't ever see that happening…
So one locator spell later, Bonnie is able to answer Damon and Enzo's question. But not before the kidnapped Jeremy is made an example – Damon makes one phone call and the next thing we know Jeremy is being suffocated with a plastic bag…a little old school for vampires, don't you think?
Cue Stefan to the rescue! Both she and Kelena (my new nickname for Katherine in Elena's body) show up to save Jeremy right in the nick of time.
But what's this? Little Matt is starting to figure things out. He's obviously starting to understand Elena isn't really Elena, but unluckily for him he's compelled to not act on his "wild" ideas…
And in one of the final scenes, we see something most will hate and few will love – Kelena and Stefan are hitting it off. She "confides" she knows that Damon killed Aaron. So naturally Katherine uses this as leverage to start her ploy to get Stefan back. Unfortunately, Stefan's confession isn't quite what she expected…
"Truth is, I just stopped waiting for Damon to fail because I liked the person he had become," Stefan admits. "And I don't want to lose that."
And in this week's final scene, Enzo meets his match – that's right, the old scary vampire Damon is back and his killing spree has begun. His next prospect? The transitioning vampire Joey from Maxfield's lab…and oh is it gruesome.
"Yeah, well I can see where this is going to be a problem," Enzo scoffs.
What in the world is going on with this show? Will Katherine successfully win Stefan back? Can Damon be rescued before truly re-entering the dark side?

'Once Upon A Time' Season 3, Episode 9, 'Save Henry': TV Recap
It's another episode of "Once Upon a Time" in which we flash around to multiple storylines in different times. This week the focus is on saving Henry, who is the savior, and the backstory of his adoption.
We begin in Fairy Tale just after the implementation of Regina's curse on Storybrooke. Rump tells her that she underestimated the price of what she's done. It's true she hasn't really processed killing her own father yet. Also, he lets her know that Snow's descendant could reverse it all.
In Never Land present, the landing party attempt to resuscitate Henry, while Pan gloats, admitting he has Rump in a box, before floating away after saying that Emma's stabbing him felt "like a tickle."
Then it's Storybrooke during the curse years. Mayor Regina has summoned Hopper, who hilariously begins analyzing her, telling her she's feeling a hole. She admits she didn't feel that way when the little boy visited. So she's off to see Gold for help adopting a child quickly. He says he'll get her one, but whether or not it helps her remains to be seen, because she will need to put the child first.
And with that we cut to Regina waving her hands over Henry's body in Never Land, bickering with Emma. Emma has her parents, and "this pirate, pining for her," and all Regina has is Henry. Surprisingly, Emma acknowledges that she can't know how Regina feels. Regina notices there's blood on Emma's sword, so Pan can be hurt, and maybe killed. But where is Pan?Regina shakes Leroy, but Emma suggests they try offering the Lost Boys what every kid wants– a mother. Emma tells the boys that she was a lost girl, but now has people who love her. Pan is not their family, she says, because he lied and made them do terrible things. Emma says they will take the boys home with them. Leroy is adamant, but the littler boys say Pan is at his thinking tree. Aw, those little boys are cute. And I think in that context a Walmart commercial with a jingle that says "darling, don't you ever grow up" is creepy.
We see Regina, in a flashback, adopting a baby in Boston. It's a closed adoption so she'll never be able to find out anything about the boy's genealogy or parents, but that doesn't bother her. She names him Henry, for her father, and looks perturbed when the agency rep says he hopes her father's passing was peaceful. What would he say if she said, not exactly, I took his heart for a curse? New mother Regina doesn't know how to stop Henry from crying and sees Dr. Whale, who tells her there's probably nothing wrong with him. "Probably" frightens her, so she asks Sidney to find out about the baby, then sees Snow holding him which makes him stop crying. And that's disturbing. But then Henry finally stops crying in Regina's kitchen, which makes her smile. She tries to return him though after she gets Sidney's information and confronts Gold, but in Boston, she just can't do it. She already loves Henry with his cute little arms and legs and eyes.. The family that was waiting for him, getting the news they can't have him? Wendy's brothers.
Vines capture Emma, Snow and Regina at the Thinking Tree. Pan gloats some more, saying he abandoned his son at that spot, and he now has him in a box. He taunts them all for being bad mothers, but since Regina has no regrets, because everything that she did that was bad was for Henry, she can break the vines. She grabs the heart out of Pan and the box too. On the Jolly Roger, Regina puts the heart in Henry's chest. It takes a moment, but then he takes a deep breath and comes to.
In the past, Regina tells Hopper she's afraid the birth mother will show up one day to take Henry back, even though it was a closed adoption. He tells her to stop worrying, and revel in being a mother. On the Jolly Roger, Regina sits with Henry, in bed, and waves a hand over him, which stings, and should make his heart impossible for anyone to ever take again. "Thanks Mom," he says, which is sweet. It never seemed right to me that thought Henry rejected her so vehemently when she'd been his mom all his life. And after she leaves Pan appears with a knife. On deck, Rump is out of the box, now, and Neal tells him that he is not as bad as Rump. "You came back for me, Papa," he says, and hugs him. Emma hugs her parents too. But something's wrong. Rump feels it. He goes downstairs to see Pan trying to rip the heart away, and take his shadow, but forces Pan into the box. Regina runs downstairs, and Rump tells her Henry is strong. They've gone back to Never Land and are taking everyone home.
This is an awful lot of love and kisses. Something's got to go wrong. On deck, they fire up a cannon and shoot the coconut with the shadow into space, with Regina trapping it in a spooky green spell vapor. The Jolly Roger flies back to Never Land. Wendy and Tink are also on board. Wendy's thrilled she will see her brothers, and gives Tink a little vial of pixie dust, but the fairy says she has no magic. "I believe in you," Wendy says. Neal and Henry hug. Tink and Regina make up. And the pixie dust glows green, because, Regina says, "for a moment there, you believed." Henry offers gruel to Felix, who refuses, saying he's on Pan's side. Henry says Pan never fails. His voice is different. He's Pan. He switched. There was no hint of that, but we'll keep seeing Robbie Kay!
"Now, let's play," Pan says.

San Jose teenager Polina Edmunds twirled and jumped her way into the Olympic picture Thursday night with a performance that stunned the figure skating scene if not those who have been paying close attention.
The Archbishop Mitty sophomore scored a personal best 66.75 points to finish second in the short program at the U.S. Olympic trials at TD Garden in Boston.
"It couldn't have been much better," she told reporters. "I shouldn't be surprised. I have all the elements. I just went out and did them."
Gracie Gold, who trains in El Segundo with coach Frank Carroll, leads the competition with 72.12 points heading into the free skate Saturday. Arcadia's Mirai Nagasu, who took fourth at the Vancouver Games, is third. Ashley Wagner, the two-time reigning national champion, is fourth after stumbling on her combination jump.
The top three after the free skate will earn trips to the Winter Olympics next month in Sochi, Russia.
Most skating experts didn't consider Edmunds, 15, a serious contender to make the Olympic team despite her finishing fourth last month at the Junior Grand Prix Finale in Japan.
The 2013 U.S. junior champion was unhappy with her short program in Japan and promised to regroup at the national championships.
Three-time Olympic medalist Marina Klimova pulled Edmunds aside just before she took the ice.
"Just be Polina Edmunds," said Klimova, who choreographs Edmunds' programs.
Skating almost flawlessly to a cha-cha medley, the teen mesmerized the crowd, many who didn't know who she was before this performance.
Edmunds, who has grown up skating at Sharks Ice San Jose, knew exactly what she needed when making her senior-level debut as the last of 21 skaters. But she said beforehand she was focused only on her performance.
"I've been training this program like this all year," she said. "I've competed at a lot of competitions this year, internationally, so I know what happens and I know everything I need to do. When I came out here tonight, I knew how to get into the zone and go out there and skate like I've been training."
Edmunds is trying to become the Bay Area's first Olympic singles skater since 1992 when Kristi Yamaguchi of Fremont won the gold medal. She is coached by her mother, Nina Edmunds, and David Glynn.
Meanwhile, Gold, 18, debuted a new short program after scrapping one her coach deemed too modern.
"It puts me in a really good position," she told reporters. "We still have a whole warm-up full of wonderful women, but I think I'm in a good position mentally and physically."
Stanford junior Rachael Flatt finished 20th in what she says will be her last national championships.
Marissa Castelli and Simon Shnapir of Boston took the lead in the pairs competition with a score of 73.13 points.

STOCKTON - A man told police he was driving around Stockton looking for drugs Wednesday when he was kidnapped and robbed by someone he let into his vehicle, authorities said.
The victim picked up the robber about noon near Rosemarie Lane and North Pershing Avenue, police said. The robber told the victim he had a gun and demanded he hand over his wallet and cellphone, officers said.
The robber then ordered the victim to drive to a market and give him his ATM pin number so he could withdraw cash, police said. The victim complied and then drove the robber back to North Pershing Avenue and Rosemarie Lane, where he fled on foot.
The robber was described as a Latino man about 25 years old standing 6 feet tall and weighing 200 pounds with brown hair, brown eyes, a tan Starter jacket and blue jeans, authorities said.

TOO MANY STAKEHOLDERS Start-ups and big pharmaceutical companies alike recognize the potential to generate beneficial new drugs. However, like the large molecules with which biotech firms work, biotech ventures and partnerships are complex — and their complexity increases exponentially with the number of players. The addition of third-party manufacturers, CROs, contract analytical labs, co-development partners, and other parties makes it much more difficult to control budgets, maintain timelines, facilitate decision making, and ensure effective communications.
It is no surprise that for many companies the answers are "yes" and "too often." These stumbling blocks can be at least partially overcome through sophisticated project management practices. Some further questions that can help you assess the project management expertise within your organization include:
It is unlikely that your company has taken its internal project management to this level. Your focus is on your core competency, biotechnology, which is no guarantee of excellence in managing teams or coordinating and executing strategies — the forte of a trained, professional project manager.

Sony is sorry it got hacked and that you've been locked-out of the Playstation Network for over three weeks. Now it would like to buy your forgiveness. Exactly how much the company is willing to part with depends largely upon what kind PSN-user you were previous to the outage, and which of the two Sony gaming platforms you own.
As part of its "Welcome Back" initiative, SCEA is allowing Playstation 3 and PSP owners to pick from a variety of games and services at no charge. We've compiled the market values for these items to determine how you can get the most bang for your buck out of this somewhat unusual opportunity. (Note that, in many cases, the prices of these games are higher through the Playstation Store itself than at the competitor retailers we've consulted.)
Of the 5 PS3 titles available for download, users can select two:
Dead Nation ($14.99)
inFAMOUS ($23.44)
LittleBigPlanet ($17.98)
Super Stardust HD ($9.99)
Wipeout HD + Fury ($19.99)
Among those games, both inFamous and Wipeout HD provide the most value, otherwise costing over $40 combined.
PSP owners can likewise select two titles from below:
LittleBigPlanet ($19.23)
ModNation Racers ($19.81)
Pursuit Force ($11.33)
Killzone Liberation ($14.21)
Opting to select the two highest-price PSP games will net you a value of roughly $40.
Those who were not subscribers to PlayStation Plus can enjoy a one-month free trial—up to $6 in value, depending upon the pricing plan selected. While those who were already paying users are set to receive two months for free—or $12.
Lastly, Music Unlimited Premium trial-holders and registered users will both be receiving one month on the house—another $9.99.
To get the best value, you'll want to select the following games:
inFamous + Wipeout HD + LittleBigPlanet(PSP) + Modnation Racers(PSP) = $82.47
Factor in dues owed to you if you're a Plus or Music Unlimited subscriber, and you could see that total increase to $104.46.
What you're worth to Sony will reflect how many Sony products and services you already own. For PS3 owners that have forgone the bells and whistles (and do not own a PSP), Sony is willing to part with merchandise and programs amounting to roughly $50. The Sony faithful, on the other hand, could more than double that amount—but one wonders: won't these gamers already own many, if not all, of these greatest-hits titles?
