Football season is here.
From the NFL to the youth level, millions of players across the country are donning pads and ready to embark on another season.
The Sierra Youth Football League (SYFL) is no different, as an estimated 14,000 visitors are expected to roar into Fallon for the league's annual SYFL Experience on Saturday at Churchill County High School.
The jamboree is the official kickoff for teams to practice, weigh in and engage in scrimmages before the season commences on Aug. 25. Teams will come from throughout Northern Nevada and California (Truckee, South Lake Tahoe, Bishop and Lassen) and will be treated to what the city of Fallon hopes is the best SYFL Experience to date.
"I think we have a great plan in place," said Rick Gray, executive director of the Fallon Convention and Tourism Authority. "Saturday all hands will be on deck and put Fallon in the best light we can."
The city has held the jamboree for the past three years after luring the event away from Sparks. The vast practice fields at CCHS provide the teams and visitors with four fields, a massive concession stand and plenty of shaded areas, as the forecast calls for temperatures near 100 degrees.
Gray said due to excessive temperatures, additional shaded areas, water stations and cooling misters will be provided.
"Water stations will be fully stocked and manned," he said. "We encourage people to bring in water."
A gigantic event such as the SYFL calls for a Herculean effort from volunteers. CCHS athletes, coaches plus city of Fallon employees will litter the event to provide food, drinks and any assistance to provide another sparkling experience for the expected crowd.
Parking, which was a concern at Golden Eagle Regional Park in Sparks, will be provided at the Churchill County Fairgrounds across the street from CCHS. Gray said the city along with the Fallon Police Department, Churchill County Sheriff's Office and Nevada Highway Patrol have a detailed plan for the influx of visitors. Parents, players and coaches will be allowed to safely cross Sheckler Road to the school.
Teams will begin to flood into Fallon tonight as the youngest teams begin their experience at about 7 a.m. on Saturday.
"I think the city is ready to host this big group," Gray said. "Some will arrive Friday night because they scrimmage early."
Local business, meanwhile, are preparing for the massive rush of people, Gray said. Last year, local restaurants and other businesses displayed signs throughout town to entice potential customers.
Gray said several business in the past have run specials for the SYFL in addition to advertising in the SYFL's annual tab. Pizza Barn and Wal-Mart, Gray said, have targeted Saturday with specials for the respective establishments.
Several of the teams will return in the fall to play against their Fallon counterparts, and Gray said Saturday is an opportunity for visitors to explore the city and become familiar with local businesses.
"The more familiar they (visitors) get and more comfortable they get with our community, I think it's a better experience all around," he said. "Our hosting this event does so many things relative to introducing people to the community, interact and spend money."

LOS ANGELES -- Read this slowly.
Patrick Marleau now has more career overtime playoff goals than Wayne Gretzky.
Yes, that Patrick Marleau. The one doubters have said over the years didn't have what it takes to perform under Stanley Cup pressure. The same guy whose goal gave the Sharks a 4-3 overtime victory in Game 3 that puts San Jose in position to eliminate the Los Angeles Kings on Thursday night.
"You can use it as motivation," Marleau said Wednesday of his critics, "but winning it for me is motivation enough. I don't have to bring in that other thing."
Marleau has four overtime goals in 143 career playoff games. Former Colorado Avalanche forward Joe Sakic tallied eight, legendary Maurice Richard of the Montreal Canadiens had six, and Gretzky's former Edmonton Oilers teammate Glenn Anderson had five.
After that comes Marleau, tied with eight other players -- including one of his harshest critics in the past before mellowing, former teammate Jeremy Roenick.
Gretzky? The NHL's all-time leading scorer finished with three in 202 playoff games.
Ask Marleau about his overtime success, and he shows some of the qualities that helped make him a Lady Byng Trophy finalist earlier in the same day that he beat the Kings.
"I think being surrounded by really good players helps out a lot," he said. "Playing with good teams over the years, being able to play with highly talented players helps me immensely."
But others are quick to give Marleau the credit for what he has accomplished.
"He's one of the most trusted players on the team by the coaching staff and his teammates," coach Todd McLellan said. "He consistently plays 82 games a season, scores goals, big goals, big playoff overtime-type goals. He just gets it done."
Postseason heroics are not limited to overtime for Marleau. Beyond those overtime goals, he has another 11 game-winners for a total of 15 -- second only to the 16 by New Jersey forward Jaromir Jagr among active NHL players. Overall, Marleau has 60 postseason goals, again, second only to Jagr, and 101 points.
Marleau, 34, is coming off perhaps his most consistent season of the 16 he has played in San Jose. There were brief lulls -- "He's not perfect," McLellan would add, "but show me who is" -- but he was reliable in all three zones as he scored 33 goals and 70 points.
Eight months ago, things didn't start out too well for Marleau, as he was not invited to Team Canada's orientation camp in August. That only gave him something to prove once again, and his play eventually earned him a trip to Sochi, where he helped Canada win Olympic gold.
The Sharks are built offensively around Marleau and Joe Thornton, with both bearing the brunt of outside criticism for the fact the Sharks have yet to reach the Stanley Cup finals. When Sports Illustrated predicted Los Angeles to win this series, those two were singled out.
But Thornton and Marleau also have formed a mutual admiration society over the years. When both were signed to three-year contract extensions in January, each said they wanted the other to be included in a package deal.
Part of general manager Doug Wilson's plan in constructing the Sharks has been to have veteran players help prepare the next generation coming in to succeed them. Marleau is getting that job done, too.
"For me he's a great role model," said Matt Nieto, a 21-year-old rookie. "He has that speed asset that I like to use. For me, just watching and learning and seeing what he does out there is really key. He's a big-time player. He's finds ways to score."
And what part of Marleau's game is the most instructive?
"I think his release is unbelievable," Nieto said. "He gets his shot off so quick, and that's something I need to work on to be a scorer in this league. You can see why he's had such a successful career."
Marleau's game-winner Tuesday night might have looked lucky, as it appeared to clip a Kings defenseman's stick and float into the net over Jonathan Quick's outstretched glove.
But teammate Brad Stuart believes Marleau makes his own luck in times like that.
"You can say that goal was lucky," Stuart said, "but there's a reason why players like that get those opportunities. He takes advantage of them, and that's what good players do."

Which sex is the worst about washing up? Why is it so important? We've got the dirty truth on how and when to wash your hands.
LGBT Health Research Falls Far Short
March 31, 2011 -- Lesbians, gays, bisexuals, and transgendered Americans are distinct populations with unique health needs -- but what are those needs?
"We do not know exactly what these experiences and needs are," concludes the report of a panel of medical experts convened by the Institute of Medicine (IOM). The IOM was asked to propose an LGBT research agenda by the National Institutes of Health.
"In detailing just how little is known about the health issues confronting lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender people, the IOM report exposes the disturbing fact that our community has been largely ignored in most medical and health services research," Rea Carey, executive director of the National Gay and Lesbian Task Force, says in a news release.
The initials LGBT make it seem that people who are not heterosexual are somehow all alike. But the IOM panel quickly determined that each of these populations faces different health issues, has different access to health care, and faces different medical challenges.
A big problem with finding out what those challenges are is that there has been no systematic effort to find LGBT individuals and ask them about it.
A major change proposed by the IOM -- and likely to be taken up by the National Institutes of Health, the Health and Human Services Department, the CDC, and other data-gathering arms of the government -- is to include questions about sexual identity and sexual preference on future surveys and questionnaires as well as on electronic health records.
"It's easy to assume that because we are all human, gender, race, or other characteristics of study participants shouldn't matter in health research, but they certainly do," IOM Committee Chair Robert Graham, chair of family medicine at the University of Cincinnati, says in a news release.
While this information would be gathered just as questions about ethnicity now are collected, the IOM admits that phrasing such questions will be tricky.
The IOM panel suggests that researchers should look at LGBT health issues from four perspectives:
- Studies taking a life-course perspective should examine challenges that LGBT individuals face during four life stages: childhood, adolescence, early middle age, and later adulthood.
- Studies taking a minority stress perspective should examine the health effects of stigmatization and bias on sexual and gender minorities.
- Studies taking an "intersectional perspective" should examine the health status of LGBT individuals in the context of their racial, ethnic, economic, and geographic diversity.
- Studies taking a social ecology perspective should look at how the health of LGBT individuals is affected by their community and interpersonal relationships.

"I basically told Karl Rove that what he was doing is counter-productive and he needs to stay out of it," said Branstad, recounting a phone call to Rove, the leader of the new Conservative Victory Project.
In the aftermath of last fall's disappointing election outcome for the GOP, party leaders have been focusing on fielding more candidates with broad appeal - and fewer unpredictable ones - but have split bitterly over how to do it, worsening party tensions.
The push was prompted in part by the defeat of Republican Senate candidates Todd Akin in Missouri and Richard Mourdock in Indiana, who lost races the GOP expected to win. The two, who were backed by ultraconservative Tea Party groups, suffered after making controversial comments about rape, and their losses helped kill GOP chances of winning control of the Senate.
The Rove-backed group is planning to raise money and run ads in primary election campaigns to help candidates seen as more attractive to general election voters. The effort is intended to counterbalance fundraising groups that boosted strong conservatives in primary races.
But the targeted effort conflicts with a more diplomatic approach favored by Branstad and other mainstream Republicans wary of offending important officeholders and factions.
There is similar tension about Republican candidates in West Virginia, where the GOP hopes to pick up a seat long held by Democrats, and in Georgia, where Republican Sen. Saxby Chambliss' retirement has set off an internal fight between hard-right conservatives and the GOP establishment.
Branstad, in an interview with the Associated Press, said Rove's plan to use fundraising and negative advertising against suspect Republicans was "a mistake."
"If some outside group that has no connection to Iowa attacks somebody from Iowa, that is not smart," Branstad said.
In the weeks after Iowa Democratic Sen. Tom Harkin announced his retirement, Branstad has used private breakfasts with King and his House colleague Tom Latham to discuss who would be the strongest contender for seat, which has been held by Democrats for more than 30 years.
News of Rove's plans inflamed King, prompting him to issue an angry fundraising appeal in which he declared, "Nobody can bully me out of running."
Representatives of Conservative Victory Project did not immediately respond to requests for comment. But in a New York Times story earlier this month, organization director Steven Law was quoted as saying, "We're concerned about Steve King's Todd Akin problem...All of the things he's said are going to be hung around his neck."
King has strong support among conservatives but also a reputation for provocative statements. During the 2008 presidential campaign, he said a victory by Democrat Barack Obama would be welcomed by terrorists. "If he is elected president, then the Islamist, the al-Qaida, the radical Islamists and their supporters will be dancing in the streets."
King's devout followers, among Iowa's most conservative, were incensed at the news of Rove's group. But so were traditional GOP stalwarts like Richard Schwarm.
"I think that was a total backfire on Rove's part," said Richard Schwarm, a former Iowa Republican Party chairman and longtime Rove friend.

Mess on Glendale Road
Truck rig spills load of cooking oil; no injuries
March 6, 2013
A semi-trailer bed overturned Tuesday morning on Glendale Road near Grant Edwards Drive, spilling thousands of pounds of cooking grease on the road and shutting down the road for more than four hours....
Is there any truth to the rumor that oneill turned his words into grease and spilled out his liberal agenda?

stonecold - I'm GLAD you are such an expert on everything around the Glendale Extension area. But I CAN tell you that if they is a facility just over a half mile from where they wrecked that might very well use their grease trap cleaning service. IF you are so concerned about why this particular vehicle was on this particular road, maybe you could call the company and find out for us.

roksmith - there is NO REASON for a semi of used cooking oil to be on Glendale Road. It is NOT a designated truck route and not even a shortcut to the interstate if they were heading to Zanesville.

That kind of oil really won't do much of anything it breaks down pretty fast.I'm sure a lot of Animals have been eating at it already.

No cover-up here folks. The article stated they were DAR PRO Solutions. 5 seconds on google and you know that they collect used cooking oil and grease from restaurants and process it into fuel. Three collection locations in Ohio. They were probably headed back towards Zanesville.

Why must everyone make something out of nothing. Who gives a darn where it is going this isn't an investigation it is just a story about a truck spilling oil.

Great big gobs of greasy grimey gopher guts. Dont know about hippie scavengers, bu there are a couple of businesses on the eastern shore that have deals with local restaurants, and they use the best cleanest oil to run in their smaller diesel powered fleet trucks. They smell like stir fry, or yuck, crab cakes, when I used to follow them.

The Tesla S and the Toyota RAV4 EV scored top points on the Automobile Association of America's Green Car Guide, followed by the Audi A7 TDI, the Lexus GS and the Nissan Leaf.
The listings are part of AAA's annual alternative fuel car report, a 140-page tome that reviews 80 hybrids, electric cars, CNG-powered cars, clean diesels and partial zero emissions vehicles. The study was conducted by the automobile club's Automotive Research Center.
The center's manager and chief engineer, Steve Mazor, called the Tesla S "an incredible car," and "the fastest green car we've ever tested." He acknowledged concern about the Tesla's 265-mile range and slow charging time, but said: "The Model S was our top-scoring vehicle this year by a wide margin."
It's not tops for value, though. That title was won by the Chevrolet Spark, which was named best green car value vehicle for 2014.
Chasing it were the Hyundai Elantra GLS, the Nissan Versa SV, the Scion iQ and the Nissan Versa Note SV.

Holocaust Denial on Trial, Trial Judgment: Electronic Edition, by Charles GrayTable of Contents
|<< Hitler's knowledge
|< Introduction
|Hitler's knowledge >
Irving's response
Evidence of system and the scale of the shootings
6.39 I have already drawn attention to the number of those who, as Irving eventually admitted, were killed in the East. Irving acknowledged that the evidence shows that there was an appalling massacre of Jews on the Eastern front but he argued that, at least in their initial stages, the shootings were selective, confined to the intelligentsia and served a military purpose. He disputed that the shootings took place on the massive scale alleged by the Defendants. He suggested that many of the figures cited by the Defendants' experts and in the documents on which they relied were "fantasy figures".
6.40 Irving argued that the "ruthless, energetic and drastic measures" against the Jews ordained in the guidelines issued on 19 May 1941 did not mean that they should be shot but rather than they should be arrested and imprisoned. If the guidelines had meant that the Jews were to be killed, they would have said so. Longerich rejected this contention.
6.41 Irving pointed out that Heydrich's instructions of 2 July 1941 strictly limited the Jews who were to be executed to those in state or party positions. He did not accept that it was legitimate to infer that the instructions were intended to be construed more widely simply because the executions thereafter carried out extended far beyond these limited categories. Irving submitted that no evidence has come to light of any order which authorises the execution of broader categories of Jews.
6.42 Irving devoted a considerable amount of time in his cross-examination of Longerich to the details of the killings by Einsatzgruppen A, B, C and D which he derived for the most part from the reports submitted by them. Irving suggested, for example, that some of those reports were compiled by those who, like General Bach-Zelewski, were mass murderers and whose reporting is on that account unreliable. Irving did not accept that the reports of the Einsatzgruppen should be taken at face value. He argued that the leaders of the Einsatzkommandos, which made up the Einsatzgruppen, would have been anxious to impress their superiors with the numbers killed and so would have exaggerated the figures. Browning and Longerich both accepted that some kommandos may have been anxious to avoid appearing to lack zeal and so may have exaggerated their achievements. But Browning considered the figures to be accurate as "ballpark figures". He added (and Irving agreed) that the numbers, even if not precisely accurate, are on any view huge. Longerich concurred. He added that the numbers do not derive solely from the reports of the Einsatzgruppen: there are other sources.
6.43 Irving expressed doubts about the logistical feasibility of the Einsatzgruppen having been able to carry out executions on the reported scale, given their limited numbers and equipment and the other tasks which they were charged with carrying out. The Einsatzgruppen consisted of only 3,000 men. But Browning pointed out that the army was called on to provide support. Longerich calculated that, if allowance is made for the auxiliary manpower available, the total number of those involved in the shootings would have been around 30,000.
6.44 Another argument canvassed by Irving is that the reports may have been inaccurate in their statements of the numbers of Jews shot because the SS auxiliaries would not always have known whether or not those they were executing were Jews. He suggested that this must have been the reaction of British intelligence when they intercepted reports of the numbers killed. Browning responded that the Jager report is illustrative of the care taken to classify Jewish men, women and children. He explained the passive British response to the intercepts probably reflected an inability on their part to comprehend the notion that the Nazis would devote resources sorely required for their war effort to killing vast numbers of Jewish men, women and children whilst there was a war on.
6.45 Irving also argued that there will have been many who, becoming aware of the wholesale murders taking place at the hands of the SS, will have fled eastwards into Russia (there to be met, no doubt, with the same fate). A report dated 12 September 1941 refers to the "gratuitous evacuation" of hundreds of thousands of Jews by inference across the Urals representing an indirect success for the security forces. According to Irving, in calculating the scale of the shootings, allowance should be made for the Jews who fled eastwards to avoid being shot. Irving also suggested that many of the murdered Jews died at the hands of local anti-Jewish populations as opposed being executed by the Einsatzgruppen. Browning's evidence was that such pogroms did occur but for a limited period only in the opening days of the war.

The Vivobarefoot Breatho Trail shoes are nothing short of eye-catching, especially in the lime green my pair came in. They are a sleek looking off-road shoe that is both flashy or reserved, as Vivobarefoot makes the Breatho Trail in a number of different colors to suit your particular style. For me, however, the bright and loud color was spot on. The Breathos are competitively priced at $90 (Check them out here). Here's my take on the shoe after logging a decent amount of miles in them, including some on-road runs. Read More

If it's time for Halloween, it's time for the Spookytooth 5k, a Summit High School event in its third year.
This year's race, slated for 10 a.m. Sunday at Summit High School, takes place on the road instead of on the trail, making wheelchair racing and running with baby strollers an option. Still, director Jimmy Patalan has recruited witches and trolls to haunt the racers as they make their way from start to finish. Costumes are encouraged for runners, with best the costume winning a prize alongside race winners.
Patalan, a Summit High sophomore, landed his role as race director as a way to fulfill his International Baccalaureate Middle Years project .
"Last year ... I didn't know what I wanted to do," Patalan said. "At first, I wanted to write a book."
This year, he sat in Darren Brungardt's algebra 2 class when Brungardt mentioned the need for a race director. Patalan's project has brought together several of his passions, particularly running (he's a member of the track team and he and his father assist local race company Maverick Sports).
It also allows Patalan to include the Keystone Science School, a beneficiary of the event and an organization close to his heart. He's been associated with the science school for the last decade, as acamper, and most recently as a counselor assistant.
"It's taught me to be a leader and take responsibility, especially when you're out in the woods with kids," Patalan said. "(The science school has) done a lot for me, so I wanted to give back to them too."
His experiences have also given him the tools to head the Spookytooth project, said Joel Egbert, Keystone Science School camp director.
"(Being a beneficiary is) great especially because Jimmy was a camper at the science school and now a counselor assistant," Egbert said. "It's cool to see him use some of the leadership stuff we've helped him develop."
Money donated to the nonprofit is to go to the scholarship fund for summer camp. Summit High's track program is the other beneficiary from the event.
Registration can be done in advance at www.running
guru.com" target="_blank">class="NormalParagraphStyle">guru.com and searching "Spookytooth 3 Callisto's Scorn." As of Wednesday evening, 39 had registered. The first 60 receive tech T-shirts.
The fee for adults is $25, and students pay $20 in advance. Registration is also available day-of for an additional $5.

SNOWMASS VILLAGE -Registration is still open for the Power of Four Mountain Bike Race on Aug. 25. This race combines the four ski areas of Aspen/Snowmass - Snowmass, Aspen Mountain, Aspen Highlands and Buttermilk - into one challenging course. New this year, the race concludes with a thrilling single track descent of Aspen Mountain. The field will consist of solo racers and relay teams (of two or four people) from the bike community in Aspen and Snowmass Village, regionally and beyond. Racers will start at the base of the Snowmass ski area and end at the bottom of Aspen Mountain. With an estimated 9,000-foot vertical gain and 9,000-foot vertical drop over 36 miles of top-rated single-track and demanding double-track ascents, plus travel over four mountains, this race will challenge even the fittest riders.Shock Top Belgian White will raffle off a 2013 Giant Anthem X 29er 0 at the conclusion of the race. All race participants will be automatically entered and must be present to win. The bike will be ordered to size and delivered in the spring of 2013.

Yersinia pestis, the bacterial agent of bubonic and pneumonic plague, is one of the most virulent human bacterial pathogens and is well known historically for its ability to cause devastating pandemics. Plague remains an international public health concern and periodically re-emerges in the form of sudden large outbreaks. The emergence of antibiotic-resistant strains of Y. pestis and the potential use of Y. pestis as a biological weapon exemplify the need for better medical countermeasures against plague.
Research in the group focuses on the genetic and molecular processes of plague transmission, infection, and immunity. Studies apply modern molecular biology, genomics, and immunology tools to established flea and rodent infection models. One goal is to identify and determine the function of Y. pestis genes that mediate transmission by fleas. Detailed understanding of this interaction may lead to novel strategies to interrupt the transmission cycle. For example, determining the antigens expressed on the Y. pestis surface as the bacteria exit the flea and enter the mammal may help in the design of new vaccines and diagnostics.
Plague is a highly fulminant disease that rapidly leads to life-threatening sepsis. In vivo gene expression and immunologic analyses by this group indicate that the severity of disease depends on several Y. pestis virulence factors that thwart the mammalian innate immune response. This group is interested in understanding the detailed function of these factors and determining their specific targets and mechanisms. The group uses the natural flea-borne transmission route and systems to examine the intradermal flea-bacteria-host transmission interface. This enables scientists to take into account the effects of vector saliva and other factors specific to the microenvironment of the flea-bite site. The group also uses its animal model systems to identify and evaluate new Y. pestis antigens for use in plague vaccines and diagnostics and to characterize the host response to naturally acquired infection.
Dr. Hinnebusch received his Ph.D. in microbiology in 1991 from the University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio, studying the molecular structure and replication of linear plasmids of Borrelia burgdorferi, the bacterial agent of Lyme disease. He joined Rocky Mountain Laboratories as a postdoctoral fellow in 1992, where he developed model systems to study the transmission of Yersinia pestis, the bacterial agent of bubonic and pneumonic plague. He advanced to a tenure-track position in 2001 and is now a senior investigator and chief of the Plague Section in the Laboratory of Zoonotic Pathogens. From 2002 to 2006, he was the recipient of a New Scholar Award in Global Infectious Diseases from the Ellison Medical Foundation.

A long-rumored sex tape featured pro wrassling icon and pop culture fixture Hulk Hogan has surfaced online.
Lucky us.
The website Gawker posted the clip after saying it received a copy from an anonymous source.
According to the site, the 1½-minute segment is edited down from a 30-minute recording and shows Hogan about to put some non-wrestling moves on an unidentified brunette.
Before things get hot and heavy, the ex-grappler's cell phone goes off (the ringtone is daughter Brooke Hogan's song "About Us"). Ewww ... .
Hulk decides not to answer, and a brief montage of X-rated activity ensues.
An attorney for Hogan told E! Online that the wrestler was taking legal action to make sure no one profited off the tape, which he said was secretly recorded without his authorization.
Meanwhile, on the same day the Hogan clip appeared, his ex-wife Linda Hogan was arrested around 1 a.m. in Los Angeles for suspicion of driving under the influence, E! Online reports.
A rep said Linda Hogan had a blood-alcohol level of 0.084 (just above California's 0.08 legal limit), but police would not confirm this.
Linda Hogan was returning home after attending a jewelry function in L.A., her rep said, where she drank a glass of champagne on an empty stomach. Linda was released on $5,000 bail several hours after being booked.
MEL BROOKS TAPPED FOR AFI AWARD: Funnyman Mel Brooks has been selected by the American Film Institute to receive the 41st Life Achievement Award, the organization's highest honor for a career in film.
The 86-year-old writer/director/producer/actor's beloved movies include "The Producers," "Blazing Saddles" and "Young Frankenstein."
"Mel Brooks is America's long-reigning king of comedy -- and as he taught us long ago, it's good to be the king," Howard Stringer, chair of the AFI's board of trustees, said in a statement. "He's a master of an art form that rarely gets the respect it deserves, and it is AFI's honor to shine a bright light on laughter by presenting Mel Brooks the 41st AFI Life Achievement Award."
Previous recipients include Morgan Freeman, Steven Spielberg, Al Pacino, Meryl Streep, Tom Hanks, Clint Eastwood, Alfred Hitchcock, Bette Davis, Jack Nicholson, Orson Welles and, the most recent honoree, Shirley MacLaine.
JOHN LEGEND CANCELS LOCAL SHOW, TOUR: R&B star John Legend has canceled is upcoming tour, which included a Nov. 21 date at the Fox Theater in Oakland, because he hasn't finished his new album yet.
The singer announced the cancellation on his website, saying, "Unfortunately, while the creative process has been exciting and I'm pretty certain we're going to deliver the best album of my career so far, the timing hasn't adhered to the schedule I originally envisioned."
He added, "My team and I have made the agonizing decision to put off the tour until 2013 when we know we will have the new music done and will be ready to fully unveil the creative vision through the album and the live experience."
We're wondering how many normal people could get away with an excuse like that at work.
Here's the kicker: Kanye West might be part of the problem. The mercurial, exacting rapper has been collaborating with Legend on the new recording. West does not have the reputation of being particularly speedy in the recording studio.
"Kanye is my friend and he's never treated me like a jackass," Legend quipped earlier this year, referring to President Obama calling West a "jackass." "He's one of the most talented artists we know in this generation and I feel very fortunate to be able to work with him."
Legend said those who purchased tickets for the canceled shows will get a refund.
DARYL HANNAH BUSTED DURING PROTEST: Daryl Hannah was arrested (again) Thursday, this time in Texas for protesting the creation of an oil pipeline.
The actress, 51, and landowner Eleanor Fairchild, 78, reportedly stood on equipment on Fairchild's Winnsboro farm to halt attempts at building the Keystone XL pipeline, which would bring crude oil from Alberta, Canada, to the Gulf Coast of Texas.
"It is unfortunate Ms. Hannah and other out-of-state activists have chosen to break the law by illegally trespassing on private property," David Dodson, a spokesman for TransCanada, which is behind the construction of the reported $7 billion pipeline, said in an email to the Associated Press.
Hannah was charged with criminal trespass and resisting arrest, paying a $1,000 and a $3,000 bond, respectively. She was released around midnight.
The last time Hannah was arrested, she was protesting the construction of the oil pipeline in Washington, D.C.
INEBRIATED CHRIS BROWN TWEETS ABOUT RIHANNA: Chris Brown isn't exactly keeping quiet about his breakup with aspiring model Karrueche Tran, or his apparently renewed romance with Rihanna.
Hours after the singer, 23, confirmed is split from Tran, Brown posted a video on Twitter titled "The Real Chris Brown."
In the clip, Brown admits he's "a little drunk" but says he wants to set the record straight about falling back in love with Rihanna, 24, while still dating Tran, 23. "Y'all don't really get the real Chris Brown, so I like to just be honest, man. I'm stressed out," he says. That's just real (expletive), man."
Brown adds, "When you share history with somebody, then you tend to fall in love with somebody else, it's kinda difficult. Is there such thing as loving two people? I don't know if that's possible, but for me, I feel like that."
Uh, oh.
"Y'all are probably like, 'What the (expletive) is he talking about right now?' But I'm just saying, I'm being real. I don't want to hurt either or. I'm not trying to be a player. I'm not trying to be a dog. None of that. My mama raised me differently. I just can't. It's too much sometimes."
When Brown first confirmed his split to Us Weekly, he said he had "decided to be single to focus on my career. I love Karrueche very much but I don't want to see her hurt over my friendship with Rihanna. I'd rather be single allowing us to both be happy in our lives." Brown and Tran dated for about a year.
After Brown's video went viral, an emotional Tran expressed her heartbreak via Twitter. "What the (expletive) is going on?" she wrote. "All I'm saying is, you don't mess with people's genuine feelings. You just don't!"
Pre-split, Tran and "Diamonds" singer Rihanna frequently traded insults over Twitter. According to sources, Tran says she has long been aware of Brown's recent relations with the pop star.
Even after Brown assaulted her in February 2009, Rihanna believes he is "the love of my life." During the August 19 episode of "Oprah's Next Chapter," the singer said Brown feels the same way. "We love each other and we probably always will, and that's not anything that we're going to try to change."
CAREY'S LOADED FOR BEAR: Mariah Carey is apparently taking her feud with Nicki Minaj seriously.
The "American Idol" judge on Thursday made good on her word to travel with increased security in the wake of her altercation with fellow judge Minaj, at which Carey claims her rival threatened to shoot her. Carey returned to the Baton Rouge set of the Fox-TV show with what E! Online described as some particularly intimidating posse members in tow, including what appeared to be uniformed Baton Rouge police officer.
This couldn't possibly be a publicity stunt, could it?

Different is good, especially at the new Vail Ale House in the West Vail Mall.You won't recognize the place. The walls are wood and stone, the wood is from Colorado and the stone was carved from a quarry in Telluride. The tables are 150-year-old hardwood from Missouri.The Ale House is a successful combination between a bar and a family restaurant. Stroll in the door on the west side and covering the entire wall to your left is a massive photo of workmen smiling as they hoist a glass to toast the end of Prohibition.Wander easily to the east, past the bar and into the family dining area. The music quiets, the lights dim and the entire atmosphere softens. The new booths are better. The lights are better. The acoustics are better. Even the music is better. The Reverend Horton Heat is slated to play Tuesday night.Much of the staff is also new, brought in because of their expertise with microbrews.The space has been The Menu, the Jackalope and the Sandbar. Now it's the Vail Ale House and Manager Jason Barber has worked in the space, regardless of the name above the door, for the past 12 years. 'Surprise me'True to its name, the restaurant has 20 craft beers on tap, some you can't get anywhere else in this area."Devoted to the craft - that's our motto," Barber said. "We get some beers in here that no one else in the mountains is pouring."Or try cocktails like "Mint Southern Bourbon Tea" or a "Moscow Mule."Chef Rick Hyra volunteered to come to Vail from San Diego. At the Ale House he has created comfort food that stands up to his French and fine dining background. Approachable, uncomplicated and done well."This is food I want to eat," Hyra said.Steve Stephenson came in from the Pacific Beach Ale House Kitchen & Tap in San Diego, which also is owned by Eric Leitstein. Leitstein owns the Union Kitchen & Tap in Encinitas, Calif. as well. We brought a crowd so we got to try more than half of the menu. The menu goes with the beer, the beer goes with the menu and they all live happily ever after.Expertise is unnecessary. We suggest leaning heavily on your wait staff's expertise. Ours was the knowledgeable and lovely Ariana Keeney.Repeat after me: "In Ariana we trust." I looked her straight in the eye and said, "Surprise me." And she did.Salty and sweetThe Avery White Rascal, the Lefthand Nitro Milk Stout, the Upslope Brown Ale, the Crazy Mountain Boohai Red Ale, the Arrogant Bastard - they all went perfectly with, well ... whatever Ariana said they were supposed to go with.The Ale House shrimp is dusted with Hyra's in-house spices and served with lemon and red pepper aioli and arugula salad.The sausage board is three kinds of sausage - cheddar jalapeno elk, wild boar and apricot and grilled pork belly. Try the wild boar with a dollop of the chutney served alongside and it's the perfect combination of salty and sweet, like the best first date you've ever had.The Atlantic salmon is pan-seared in maple brown butter and served with braised fennel and roasted Brussels sprouts. Ariana suggested a Steamworks Kolsch alongside. She was right, as always.And that brings us to the shrimp and grits. It's made with Cajun andouille sausage, roasted tomatoes and served with Anson Mills grits from South Carolina, stone ground so they absorb the flavors. If someone says they don't like grits, they're wrong. But that's better for you because you won't have to share.The chicken pot pie may be the perfect comfort food. It comes with a homemade biscuit on top.The kids may want pizza, and while the flatbreads are right in the wheelhouse, they're not kid stuff. We tried the Rattlesnake, which boasted jalapenos, bacon, pepperoni and herb creamed cheese. Ariana was kind enough to pair it with an Avery IPA.Finish with some warm ricotta doughnuts with housemade lemon curd or maybe the mixed berry cobbler with vanilla ice cream.You won't have to rob a hedge fund to eat there. You can overeat for between $6 and $20 a plate, not including beer. But believe me, you'll want to include beer. Ariana and her colleagues will tell you which ones.Staff Writer Randy Wyrick can be reached at 970-748-2935 or firstname.lastname@example.com.

Arapahoe Basin administration hosted a master plan open house Wednesday that introduced a decade of improvements and additions to the ski area.
Proposed changes include new intermediate and expert terrain with lift-serviced skiing in the area's steep, easily accessible and avalanche-prone backcountry area known as The Beavers.
"That area currently operates as if it is part of the ski area - it's no secret that adventurous skiers go there," said Alan Henceroth, chief operating officer of Arapahoe Basin Ski Area. "We want to formally add that area to inbound, accessible terrain and develop trails and intensive avalanche mitigation."
In the last 30 years, six deaths have resulted from avalanches in The Beavers backcountry area. One highly publicized incident in the mid-1990s triggered a lawsuit in which the court ruled that ski areas could not be held liable for skiers outside of ski area boundary. In the most recent incident, an avalanche in 2010 led to the fatality of a 20-year-old snowboarder in the backcountry area.
"With professionals evaluating that area daily for avalanche danger we think that it's in the best interest for the safety of the ski area and its users to formally adopt an area that is already actively being traversed," Henceroth said.
The proposed development in The Beavers would be the site of intermediate and expert trails as well as tree runs that would require some thinning of trees.
"There is some really great tree skiing there," Henceroth said. "We would do some cleaning up, pruning and thinning of trees, but nothing that would be noticeable from the highway."
Adding backcountry area is not a new idea, he said.
"Early maps of A-Basin in the 1960s outlined plans for developing the area but the resort just has not gotten that far," Henceroth said. "It is time to add this segment of great skiing into the boundaries of the ski area."
The master plan aims to make proposed improvements and additions over the course of the next decade. The process is still in its infancy stages and will be required to go through the National Environmental Policy Act permitting, which could take a few years, Henceroth said.
"We are not anticipating completing these projects all at once," Henceroth said. "We may be able to start as early as 2014 with the surface lift addition."
Other major projects proposed include a zip line tour, a surface lift at the top of Lenawee Lift to Montezuma Bowl and increased reservoir storage for snow making, which could double the capacity of snowmaking at A-Basin, according to Henceroth.
The zip lining course would be the first of its kind in Summit County with a proposed multi-zip course which would operate year round and offer a "discovery course" on the area's ecology and history.
"It's going to be a very special place," Henceroth said. "We're basing the design on zip lining courses in South America which educate the user on the area."
The new Master Plan, which went public for the first time Wednesday, also proposes the removal of the 35-year-old Norway Lift which would be replaced by the surface lift.
"The demand for the Norway lift is not high, the new surface lift with expand the capacity of skiers while spreading them out on the mountain," Henceroth said.
Henceroth said the lift projects would cost approximately $4-5 million while the zip lining would cost approximately $0.5-1 million though formal budgeting will not be completed until later in the planning stages and analysis of the Master Plan.
"Arapahoe Basin is a big, unpretentious, and challenging mountain that has changed lives," Henceroth said. "We're committed to keeping the culture and vibe of A-Basin the way it is."

On Monday, ski and snowboard athletes began flinging themselves into the air in preparation for the Dew Tour iON Mountain Championships, which has its sole winter stop in Breckenridge starting today.
"It's kinda sketchy," American slopestyle and big air skier Nick Goepper said Monday. He was referring to hitting 60-foot jumps in blizzard-like conditions. But last year's second-place slopestyle finisher is looking forward to clear skies come Thursday, when the main events kick off.
Goepper is among the invite-only crowd attending this year's Dew Tour in Breckenridge. And having the event hinge on invitations, it means a stellar athlete mix.
Goepper will be taking on fellow American Tom Wallisch, who became the Dew Tour slopestyle champion by a decided 4.75 points over Goepper.
This time, though, Goepper thinks he might have a chance.
"I don't want to come off as super cocky and competitive; he's older and more experienced than me. He's had more time on his skis. We'll go neck-and-neck and it'll be a good contest. It'll be all about finding the most creative line and doing the most technical tricks," Goepper said.
Goepper hit the nail on the head, according to former competitive snowboarder and current webcast announcer Kevin Pearce, who had a lot to say about his colleagues and what they bring to the table in the Dew Tour's world of snowboarding.
Pearce has been out of the game with a head injury incurred in December 2009 while training for the Olympic trials. A halfpipe trick sure to guarantee him the gold went bad, and Pearce's career was finished.
Still, the athlete and announcer hasn't given up on the snowboarding profession - he's just taking it from a different angle.
"I'm looking forward to just being here and enjoying snowboarding," he said, adding that he's been able to get back on the snow recently, though he still struggles with vision and memory. "I'll be up here on the mountain and be with my best friends. ... I'm not going against Shaun (White) for the gold this year, but I'll be by his side riding with him."
And he'll be lending his expertise to the fans listening in. And in Pearce's analysis, in all three Dew Tour disciplines - halfpipe, slopestyle and big air - the key is amplitude. It's about getting high, going fast and taking the judges' breath away. And, it's about being consistent.
Which is why we can expect White to stand atop the podium in men's snowboard halfpipe again this year.
And though getting off the ground is key in all three disciplines, each has its own technicalities.
"Halfpipe is so technical," Pearce said. "It's not just how fast and big you can go, you have to be good at carving and be good at riding that halfpipe. ... In slopestyle, it's about how you land and if you can hit the next jump."
Pearce thinks Russian Iouri "iPod" Podlachikov, might have what it takes to knock the reigning champion off his laurels. Last year, he was an even five points behind White and 2.75 points behind American Louie Vito in third place.
"He's the one that really has the chance of giving Shaun a run for it," Pearce said. "He's been focusing. If he wants it bad enough, he has the talent."
So, too, might Japan's Kazuhiro Kokobu.
"He's insane. He's got really good style. I don't know how he's been riding this year, but last year, he was riding really tight."
But when we're talking amplitude, two of Pearce's closest friends might also be able to step it up. Americans Scotty Lago and Luke Mitrani might be hard-hitters, Pearce said.
"(Mitrani) was a loose cannon the last few years and now he's realizing he has the potential ... He can give it a run for the top spot if he pulls it all together," Pearce said, adding, "If (Lago) can lay it down, he has a good chance. Scotty can go so big with so much style ... But he's pretty inconsistent, to put it bluntly."
Pearce expects to see some back-back-double corks, which he said are big right now, in addition to some tricks that aren't as hard but dazzle alongside the height off the halfpipe edge.
"It looks so much more crazy if you're going really big," Pearce said.
As for Vito, Pearce said he had the opportunity to train alongside him this summer.
"He needs to go big," Pearce said. "I've been pushing him on that. He knows how important that is. He's a small kid. He's a tiny dancer. He's been working hard, he's been training hard all summer."
For Vito, the early-season Dew Tour is about "shaking some cobwebs off and getting the adrenaline going," he said, adding, "I can't control anyone else ... I can be my own worst enemy ... I gotta put it down when it counts."
In the men's snowboard slopestyle discipline, Pearce has his expert eyes on American Sage Kotsenberg as well as Canadian Mark McMorris.
"(McMorris) is super consistent. Again, it's all about how you're feeling on the day and where your head's at. You can be good and can be the top dog, but if you're not in the right place and your body and mind aren't in the right place, it's not going to happen for ya," Pearce said, as he explained that watching training runs are key to deciding how any elite athlete will perform in the main event.
Other names that come to mind as top contenders are Norwegian Gjermund Braaten, American Chas Guldemond, Canadian Sebastien "Seb Toots" Toutant, Finn Peetu Piiroinen, Frisco native Eric Willett and Norwegian Torstein Horgmo, who threw a triple cork a few years back and has been pushing the limits ever since.
As for Willett, "He's a great kid. Obviously, he's come up big the last couple of years. His style is super smooth and calm and mellow. ... If he's feeling it the day of the event, he has what it takes to put it down," Pearce said.
American Elena Hight is the name that's thrown around in the women's halfpipe world.
"She's pushing the limits of women's snowboarding. It's gnarly how she's putting down these tricks that other girls can't," Pearce said, adding that her amplitude is there, and so are her tricks. She was the first woman to land a double backside alley-oop rodeo.
"Most girls can't go that big," Pearce said.
Meanwhile, American Kelly Clark has historically been the Shaun White of women's snowboarding, but Hight snuck in for the win last year.
"(Clark) has work to do," Pearce said, adding that he hasn't seen her train, but said she's "unstoppable" and he's sure she's pushing her abilities. "To be that good, there's obviously something about you."
Clark sees fellow American Kaitlyn Farrington as her primary competition.
Hight says her main competition is herself.
"There are so many great riders who will be here," she said. "It's important to play your own game."
Hight isn't the only one who views herself as her primary competition. Clark does, too, and In the women's skiing slopestyle, American and Team Breck athlete Emilia Wint is quick to say that though she's a rising star, she's focused on putting down her best run.
"Everyone's going to be here. Everyone's going to be firing. ... It's going to be a super fun competition," Wint said.
In the men's ski halfpipe, Justin Dorey is a name to watch for. At least, it's a name American David Wise is watching for as he heads into the tour.
"But there's so many guys you could name," he added.
Through all the competition, Pearce, who's sidelined this time around, has one thing to say to fans and fellow athletes: "It's about how fragile the brain is and how careful you need to be. I felt like I was unstoppable. I felt like I was on top. But there's more than just snowboarding. There's so much more. You need to be smart about it and do the right things. On the other side, you can come back by doing the right things - and be able to live a happy and successful life."

The capabilities of computational fluid dynamics (CFD) as a tool for trouble-shooting and Quality by Design have been demonstrated through case studies in bioprocesses from upstream, to downstream, to fill–finish. The applications involve, for example, multiple physics, fluid dynamics, transport phenomenon, heat transfer, phase transition, and rheology. Flow types include laminar flow in emulsification, turbulent flow in bioreactor mixing, and porous media flow in chromatographic columns, filtration, and centrifuge machine. Part 1 of this article series is an overview of the technology, followed by a discussion of the model setup. Part 2 of this series will discuss how CFD is used to perform flow characterization, mixing, resuspension, fermentation, and cell culture.
Pharmaceutical and biopharmaceutical processes that can benefit from CFD analysis include turbulent flow in bioreactors; multiphase flow, heat, and mass transfer; chemical reactions; phase transitions; porous media flow; and granular particle material dynamics. These processes cover upstream, downstream, and fill–finish, and involve unit operations such as fermentation and cell culture, mixing, chromatography, filtration, centrifuge separation, product freezing and thawing, lyophilization, emulsification, spray drying, product packing, and transportation. With growing capabilities and flexibility, CFD has been the most widely applicable tool available to simulate the physical processes involved in process development, manufacturing, and drug delivery.
There have many reviews of the application of CFD to various industrial processes, only a few of which have covered the role of CFD in the pharmaceutical industry.3,5,6 The biotechnology industry has its own unique processes, in addition to shared common unit operation processes with the pharmaceutical industry. This review will focus on applying CFD to bioreactor (fementer) operations.
The fundamental basis of any CFD problem is the Navier-Stokes equations that describe the motion of fluids. Additional physiochemical processes are coupled with fluid flow, such as multiphase (gas–liquid, or solid–liquid, or solid–liquid–gas) interaction, species transport, heat transfer, mass diffusion, and chemical reactions. Numerical algorithms are used to solve conservation equations for mass, momentum, and energy, and provide solutions on flow and physical variables such as velocity, pressure, temperature, density, concentration, and volume or mass fraction, from which other derived variables such as shear stress, pH, height equivalent to a theoretical plate (HETP), etc., are obtained.
CFD involves two procedures of discretization—domain discretization and equation discretization—followed by the application of a suitable algorithm to solve the resulting ordinary differential equations for unsteady problems and an algebraic equation for steady problems, subject to appropriate boundary conditions and initial conditions, to get solutions on the grid.7 Either an iterative solver or a direct solver can be used, depending on the size of the problem, available computer memory, and CPU speed. In the step of equation discretization, partial differential equations are discretized into a finite difference equation, whereas in domain discretization, the continuous spatial domain is discretized into small control volumes to form a volume mesh or grid. A postprocessor is used for the analysis and visualization of the resulting solution.
Mesh-based methods include the finite difference method (FDM), the finite volume method (FVM), the finite element method (FEM), the boundary element method (BEM), and some high-resolution schemes that treat shocks and discontinuities. Non-mesh–based methods include smoothed particle hydrodynamics (SPH)—a Lagrangian method of solving fluid problems, Spectral methods—a technique where the equations are projected onto basis functions like the spherical harmonics and Chebyshev polynomials, and Lattice Boltzmann methods (LBM), which simulate an equivalent mesoscopic on a Cartesian grid instead of solving the macroscopic system (or the real microscopic physics).

Boiling Springs man charged in burglary, trespassing
Published: Friday, November 16, 2012 at 10:23 p.m.
Last Modified: Friday, November 16, 2012 at 10:23 p.m.
Joshua Trey Long, 21, of 215-C Outlook Dr. in Boiling Springs, has been charged with first-degree burglary, third-degree assault and battery and trespassing.
Long's ex-girlfriend told police that on Dec. 18, 2011, Long entered her home without consent and assaulted her in front of her children.
The victim reported that she and her son were asleep on the couch when she was awakened to the sound of her kitchen window being pushed open in the early morning hours, according to an incident report. The victim claimed that Long said he wanted to talk to her, but she did not want to speak to him and reached for a phone to call someone and Long began hitting her in front of her screaming children, the report states. Long stopped hitting the victim after he saw the victim's then 8-year-old daughter reach for the phone, the report states. Long told the girl not to call the police and ran out of the apartment's back door.
Long was booked into the Spartanburg County Detention Facility on Wednesday.

Billion-Ton Update on U.S. Homegrown Energy Resources
Biofuel jobs could be coming to a community near you, according to a collaborative report released on August 10 by DOE that details the huge potential of U.S.-produced biomass. Thanks to research from scientists and engineers from across industry, government, and several universities, the 2011 U.S. Billion-Ton Update: Biomass Supply for a Bioenergy and Bioproducts Industry report offers a glimpse of a clean energy economy made up of a significant portion of sustainably produced biofuels.
The 2011 Billion-Ton report is a follow-up to the original 2005 report that concluded the United States has the ability to annually produce a billion dry tons of biomass for biofuels, biopower, and bioproducts. The August 10 report—a joint effort by DOE, its national laboratories, and the U.S. Department of Agriculture—predicts that agricultural and forest lands from across the country can sustainably produce more than a billion tons of biomass annually, all by developing underutilized land resources and all while still meeting forecasted demands for food, feed, and fiber resources.

'Doctor Who' Recap: Hello, My Name Is…
"The Name of the Doctor" isn't the important part of the season seven finale of "Doctor Who," despite being the episode's title. The episode is actually a loving and well crafted tribute to the history of the show as it leads up to celebrating its 50th anniversary.
We open on Gallifrey, a very long time ago. The Doctor and Susan are stealing a faulty Tardis. Clara, dressed as some sort of fantastic Gallifreyan go-go dancer, stops him, saying he's making a huge mistake.
There's a montage. Clara is in the background of scenes featuring all the classic Doctors. She is costumed in awesome period-appropriate clothing and graded to fit in with the slightly dodgy film quality.
She explains in a voiceover that she was born to save the Doctor.
Meanwhile, there's a man in prison in 1893. Madame Vastra visits him and he warns her that "The Doctor has a secret he'll take to the grave, and it is discovered."
Vastra gathers the troops in a psychic conference-call dream. The faceless Whisper Men hover in the background, but only Jenny seems to notice them out of the corner of her eye. In the conference call Clara and River meet for the first time. There's the usual tension that comes when the wife meets the new girlfriend…er, traveling assistant.
Vastra says the prisoner offered space time coordinates of the Doctor's greatest secret in return for his life. River wants to know exactly what the prisoner said.
Meanwhile, the Whisper Men kidnap the sleeping Vastra, Jenny and Strax. The face of Dr. Simeon, the Great Intelligence, appears to River and Clara in the dream-call. He tells them the Doctor needs to go to Trenzalore to save his friends.
Clara wakes up. She tells the Doctor what happened and he is distraught. Clara wants to know what's so special about Trenzalore.
The Doctor says it's the one place he should never go–it's where he's buried.
Clara says he can't go then, but he says he must save his friends. On Trenzalore, the landscape is covered with the graves. On the horizon is a giant Tardis. He is buried inside.
River suddenly appears. She left the psychic connection open between herself and Clara, so only she can see her. The Doctor finds a headstone marked "River Song." Clara says that's impossible, she met her. The Doctor assures her River's been dead a long time. River apologizes for not bringing it up sooner to Clara.
River's grave is a secret entrance to the catacombs under the Tardis.
As Clara and the Doctor walk, she asks more about his dead wife. He admits he made a backup file when River died. Ghost River says she's sad he never said goodbye.
Whisper men chase the Doctor and Clara further toward the Tardis.
Clara is disoriented. She starts remembering the events from "Journey to the Centre of the Tardis," where the Doctor told her he'd seen her die twice before.
The Doctor and Clara find Vastra, Jenny and Strax outside the Tardis doors. Simeon explains that the key to opening the Tardis is the Doctor's name. The Doctor refuses to open his tomb. Simeon commands his Whisper Men to attack the Doctor's friends.
The Tardis doors suddenly open. Ghost River appears. The Tardis can still hear her and she's the one who said his name, off screen where the audience didn't hear.
They all walk inside the control room. In the middle where the console should be is instead a twisting spiral of light. It's the scar the Doctor's left, traveling through time and space so much, from Gallifrey to Trenzalore.
The Doctor collapses from the paradox. Simeon jumps inside the scar, planning to rewrite the Doctor's entire life. We see the earlier montage of Clara, now with Simeon in her place.
The Doctor writhes in pain as he is killed throughout his timeline.
Clara realizes she needs to jump into the scar to save the Doctor. He begs her not to, but she knows she's already done it. It's what makes her impossible. With the words, "Run, you clever boy, and remember me," Souffle Girl jumps.
Clara reenters her earlier montage. She lives a thousand lives, always saving the Doctor. We see her warning the First Doctor again. She's actually pointing out our favorite Tardis, complete with her knackered navigation system.
The Doctor is better for Clara restoring the timeline. Ghost River realizes he can see her. They kiss, which must be awkward for everyone else who can't see her. With a "Goodbye, Sweetie," she fades away. The Doctor jumps.
Clara saves the Doctor throughout the timeline. She lands on the ground as the ghosts of Doctor's past run by her. The Eleventh Doctor lands by her and grabs her. A shadowy figure appears on screen. Clara says she's never seen that face of the Doctor's, and she's seen them all. The Doctor says that's the one who breaks the code of doctoring, his greatest secret. The man says he had to do what he did. He turns around. On screen the words appear: Introducing John Hurt as the Doctor.
To be continued Nov. 23, in the 50th Anniversary Special.
What did you think of this week's episode and the season overall? Are you satisfied with what Clara turned out to be? Are you excited to see John Hurt Doctor in action? Leave your thoughts in the comments.

Hi, I think ps3mediaserver is a great tool to stream music and movies from the pc to the ps3. Much better than tversity for example. But still, I get a few problems from time to time when trying to stream a movie.
Some times it just works perfectly, but some times the audio/video is out of sync by a couple of seconds. This could happen if I try to stream a dvdr but also when trying to stream a divx/xvid. Even if I try to change all the different audio-settings and reboots the ps3ms there's no difference. Im no expert in this compartment so I just change by chance (following the FAQ-tip and testing turning on/off other audio and videosettings without result).
Another problem is that I could have some xvids with the exact same setup ("HDTV Xvids"), and some might work, but some just gives the information that its not a supported type - even if it seems to be the exact same files and configurations..
When having the sync- or "not supported" problems I just end up having to view the movies directly from my pc, using an s-video cable.. And that's not exactly optimal, but atleast it always works without out of sync problems or that its not supported.. =(
Any ideas what these problems could relate to?

REDWOOD CITY -- With his company performing worse than expected, Electronic Arts (ERTS) CEO John Riccitiello fell on his sword.
Riccitiello, who presided over a rocky six-year period at the video game giant, is resigning from the Redwood City company effective March 30, EA announced Monday. He will be replaced in the interim by former CEO Larry Probst, whom EA named as its executive chairman.
In his resignation letter, which EA made public, Riccitiello noted that the company's results for its current period are likely to be at the low end or below the forecast the company issued in January. The results are likely also to fall short of the company's internal plan, he said.
His resignation "all comes down to accountability," Riccitiello said in his letter. "EA's shareholders and employees expect better and I am accountable for the miss."
In a news release, EA said it expected both its sales and earnings to be at the low end or below its forecast. Neither the company nor Riccitiello explained the shortfall and neither gave an updated forecast.
In addition to resigning as CEO, Riccitiello is resigning as a member of EA's board. Probst, formerly EA's nonexecutive chairman, will oversee daily operations of the company. Probst was EA's CEO from 1991 to 2007, when he was replaced by Riccitiello.
EA said that it plans to search for a new permanent CEO.
Riccitiello presided over EA during a turbulent time for the company and the video game industry as a whole. When he took the reins at the company, EA was reeling from making bad bets, underestimating the popularity of Nintendo's Wii console and overestimating the initial popularity of Microsoft's Xbox 360 and Sony's PlayStation 3. During his tenure, archrival Activision merged with Vivendi Games to supplant EA as the world's largest video game company. Meanwhile, the success of free and low-cost games for Facebook and mobile devices such as Apple's (AAPL) iPhone ate into the demand for the traditional $50 and $60 games EA specialized in.
"An incredible amount has changed" for the industry during Riccitiello's tenure, said Sean McGowan, a financial analyst with Needham, which hasn't done any investment banking for EA. "It's not like they got buried (by the changes), but it used to be EA and everybody else was a distant second."
Rather than driving the industry as it had in the past, EA found itself reacting to the broader changes, with Riccitiello changing strategy repeatedly. Early in his tenure, the company shifted its focus to the Wii, then later shifted back to focusing on Microsoft's and Sony's consoles. Riccitiello emphasized making "quality" games for PCs and consoles, but later focused on growing EA's digital business, buying up social gaming company PlayFish and mobile game developer PopCap.
The results were mixed. EA posted losses in four of the first five years that Riccitiello served as CEO, and had posted a loss through the first nine months of its current fiscal year. Although EA's stock has performed well over the last six months, it severely underperformed both Activision and the broader market during Riccitiello's tenure.
And the earnings miss was only the latest stumble for the company. Less than two weeks ago, EA's high-profile launch of a new "SimCity" game was marred by overloaded servers that prevented owners from authenticating and playing the game. Riccitiello also drove the company's investment in "Star Wars: The Old Republic," an ambitious -- and expensive -- effort to create a multiplayer online game that would rival Activision-Blizzard's "World of Warcraft." But it was a dud.
"With all the problems with the launch of "SimCity," and just the fact that it's been a very, very tough couple of years, I can understand why some stockholders and board members might have been frustrated," said Joe Spiegel, managing member of Dalek Capital, which has owned EA stock in the past but doesn't currently.
Indeed, investors reacted positively to the news of Riccitiello's departure. In after-hours trading following the announcement, EA's stock was up 47 cents, or 2.5 percent, to $19.18. Earlier in the day, the company's stock closed regular trading down 17 cents, or about 1 percent, to $18.71.
