I played the first round with Ron Russell (3 years removed from his Worlds win). He grunted a couple of times during the round, when spoken to.
God, the great memories are just flooding back...

Do I want to make money from skill? Hells yes. Do I auction off my players pack? Hells no. You don't see Tiger Woods ebaying his green jacket. Nor do you see him playing some small tournament on his favorite local course when he could be on the tour. This is a capitalist society, money is incentive for everyone. Even the basic necessities are impossible without it. I don't blame/shame anyone for reaching for a bigger piece, let's just be honest with ourselves.

News 12 First at Five / Tuesday, Feb. 19, 2013
AUGUSTA, Ga. (WRDW) -- "Some times people call me a pastor-preneur."
It's a title Pastor Marty Baker doesn't mind at all.
Along with his full-time job as a pastor at Stevens Creek Church, he is the founder of SecureGive.
"Several years ago, we introduced a giving kiosk to our congregation because we understood that people don't carry cash, they don't carry checkbooks, but they live with a debit card in their hand," said Pastor Baker.
Now, this multi-million dollar middle-man company is seeing millions of dollars go from church members to their respective congregations a year.
Stevens Creek Church saw $1 million move its way through SecureGive just last year.
"We have seen our giving increase 22 percent from last year to this year," Baker said.
That increase is a model for other churches to get on board.
"This concept has really taken off across America. What started right here at Stevens Creek Church is now a nationwide phenomenon," Baker said.
Over 900 churches are on board with this technology, including churches in Canada and Puerto Rico, all wanting to share another way that their congregation can give.
Bill Reynolds, a longtime member at Stevens Creek Church, says convenience is the best thing about these giving kiosks.
"I don't have to worry about writing a check, I can instantly go to my computer and pull it up," Reynolds said.
And like many, Reynolds isn't that great with technology.
"From someone who really has trouble when it comes to computers, I'm really out there in the lost world, but this is so easy," Reynolds said.
He, along with millions of church members across the country, now get the convenience of donating either from the pew of a church or the privacy of their own home.
"When it's convenient, people give more," Baker said.
Another tool in making it more convenient for church members to donate is an iPhone app.
"We have over $100,000 donated last year just through our iPhone app," Baker said.
All of this to spread the word and get people giving.
"The giving kiosk just helps them do what their heart wants to do anyway," Baker said.

CWC is a C&C Generals Zero Hour Total Conversion and also works with "The First Decade". It takes place from 1980-1989 and it features realistic units from the 80's.
We want CWC to be a mixture of realism and fun. CWC is more realistic than vanilla Generals, with real life weapon systems and side specific characteristics.
CWC offers 2 factions: Russia and USA. The Russians tend to use tanks and artillery (for example: T-72 / T-80, BM-21, 2S1 only to mention a few) while the USA rely on aircraft and high tech units (for example: F-15, F-16, F-117, A-10 etc.).
Also we have a lot of infantry in the game, not all of them are just cannon fodder. So engaging a T-80UK with a US Rifleman won't be a good idea. Other infantry units can be a real pain in the ass to armoured units though. We want the players to use more infantry than in regular Generals, where infantry wasn't the big deal. In CWC Infantry can be very useful, even against tanks if you have LAW/RPG-Soldiers.

HI guys
Is there anyone that would like to play online via VPN (hamachi etc)???
Message me if u do :D
is there any cover system like coh where we crouch behind a car or sand bag?
no there isn't. But still buildings can be occupied and soldiers can go prone and that improving accurace and detection.
Awesome mod, but WAY too challenging on easiest difficulty. Is it possible to manually adjust AI difficulty via an .ini file or something, making it similar to a standard "easy" mode?
Get to the flags fast and defend them with garrisoned troops. I have beaten even the hardest AI by just being quick and turtling it up a bit. Once they send arty at you use arty of your own or long range AT planes like the A-10, Su-25T :)
Is there any documentation regarding the Genesis map generator? Every time I run it, it either stops working or does not give me any options.
Yeah,it's hapening to me too.Even cwc worldbuilder is not working but vanila builder is working fine.Somebody help us.There is some problem with mss32.dll.quick load and play could not be located in the dynamic link library mss32.dll.

This mod is how Generals should have been. The quality of the work done in CWC is remarkable. I followed this mod ever since I first saw it in 2005, the first things that caught my eye was BMPs floating on water, just like in real life. The only game I had seen that in was Operation Flashpoint. So began a long wait, I visited the CWC website every week looking for updates, and every time there was an update it gave me a smile.

As the 100th anniversary of the Titanic's sinking has been commemorated in recent days, one can't help but be reminded of the magnitude of this tragedy. Hundreds lost their lives, some families severed their lineage, and others survived, but barely.
As a public relations practitioner, I can't help but wonder what, if any, crisis communications plans were prepared before that fateful day. I wonder if architects and engineers involved in the project, but not taking part in the voyage, contemplated a worse case scenario. What about the project's investors? Then there are the industry leaders and elected officials of that era. Were any of them prepared on how to deal with victims, families, lawyers, manufacturers and countless others following the sinking of what was promoted as unsinkable?
Surely, businesses today are much better prepared especially when crisis situations can change by the hour. A politician is caught doing something stupid; a company unexpectedly files for bankruptcy; a community leader is busted; a natural disaster strikes; the list of potential crises is endless.
Recent research shows that the traits of a good crisis manager just happen to coincide with the traits of a good leader, not a surprising thought for PR war horses like myself, but perhaps a heads up for those making decisions about leadership positions. Fortune recently published an article called What Makes an Ideal Crisis Manager? that cites Justin Menkes, author of the recently published book Better Under Pressure. He concludes that the people who are going to thrive in the future "are those who can use the pressure (of a crisis) to excel and who have translated very difficult circumstances into opportunity." Hmmm....
Per the article, the three key characteristics of a good leader and crisis manager are:
* Realistic optimism. Exceptional leaders demonstrate an ability to understand the actual circumstances of a crisis and see a chance to excel.
* Finding order in chaos. This combines calmness, clarity of thought and a drive to fix the situation. It requires practice to stay clear-eyed and fearless when the world is tipping. It also requires zeal to solve a puzzle by engaging your staff.
* Subservience to purpose or corporate goals. The commitment to the higher calling or the greater good can make a huge difference. By encouraging a team to come together around some important goal, it cultivates tenacity and encourages collaboration.
Some execs will still run around with their head on fire as they can't help themselves, which makes a crisis communications plan all the more important. However, those managers who prove themselves to be exceptions to the rule by working well under pressure will survive - and thrive.

9.1-14 Larceny by Theft of Services -- § 53a-119 (7) and §§ 53a-122 through 53a-125b
Revised to April 23, 2010
Note: The degree of the larceny is determined by the value of the property stolen. See § 53a-122 (first degree); § 53a-123 (second degree); § 53a-124 (third degree); § 53a-125 (fourth degree); § 53a-125a (fifth degree); § 53a-125b (sixth degree). The dollar amounts for the degrees of larceny were increased as of October 1, 2009. See the table in Introduction to Larceny for the values in effect prior to that date.
This offense is very broad. Include only those portions of the statute that are relevant and tailor the instruction to the factual allegations.
The defendant is charged [in count __] with larceny by the theft of services in the (first / second / third / fourth / fifth / sixth) degree. The statute defining this offense reads in pertinent part as follows:
a person is guilty of theft of services when <insert appropriate subsection:>
§ 53a-119 (7) (A): with intent to avoid payment for restaurant services rendered, or for services rendered to (him/her) as a transient guest at a hotel, motel, inn, tourist cabin, rooming house or comparable establishment, (he/she) avoids such payment by unjustifiable failure or refusal to pay, by stealth, or by any misrepresentation of fact which (he/she) knows to be false.
§ 53a-119 (7) (B) (i): with intent to obtain railroad, subway, bus, air, taxi or any other public transportation service without payment of the lawful charge therefor or to avoid payment of the lawful charge for such transportation service which has been rendered to (him/her), (he/she) obtains such service or avoids payment therefor by force, intimidation, stealth, deception or mechanical tampering, or by unjustifiable failure or refusal to pay.
§ 53a-119 (7) (B) (ii): with intent to obtain the use of equipment, including a motor vehicle, without payment of the lawful charge therefor, or to avoid payment of the lawful charge for such use which has been permitted, (he/she) obtains such use or avoids such payment therefor by means of any false or fraudulent representation, fraudulent concealment, false pretense or personation, trick, artifice or device, including, but not limited to, a false representation as to (his/her) name, residence, employment, or driver's license.
§ 53a-119 (7) (C): obtaining or having control over labor in the employ of another person, or of business, commercial or industrial equipment or facilities of another person, knowing that (he/she) is not entitled to the use thereof, and with intent to derive a commercial or other substantial benefit for (himself/herself) or a third person, (he/she) uses or diverts to the use of (himself/herself) or a third person such labor, equipment or facilities.
For you to find the defendant guilty of this charge, the state must prove the following elements beyond a reasonable doubt:
Element 1 - Avoids payment,
obtains services, diverts use
The first element is that the defendant <insert specific allegations as to type of services stolen>.
Element 2 - Means
The second element is that the defendant <insert specific allegations as to the means, e.g., stealth, misrepresentation of fact>.
Element 3 - Intent
The third element is that the defendant specifically intended to (avoid payment for / derive a commercial or other benefit from) the services. A person acts "intentionally" with respect to a result when (his/her) conscious objective is to cause such result. <See Intent: Specific, Instruction 2.3-1.>
Element 4 - Value
The fourth element is that the property had a value that <insert as appropriate:>
First degree: exceeded $20,000.
Second degree: exceeded $10,000.
Third degree: exceeded $2,000.
Fourth degree: exceeded $1,000.
Fifth degree: exceeded $500.
Sixth degree: did not exceed $500.
<See Larceny, Instruction 9.1-1, for a full explanation of this element.>
In summary, the state must prove beyond a reasonable doubt that <summarize allegations as outlined above>.
If you unanimously find that the state has proved beyond a reasonable doubt each of the elements of the crime of larceny by theft of services, then you shall find the defendant guilty. On the other hand, if you unanimously find that the state has failed to prove beyond a reasonable doubt any of the elements, you shall then find the defendant not guilty.
See generally State v. Marsala,
59 Conn. App. 135, 138-41, cert. denied, 254 Conn. 948 (2000) (bailor of car
unlawfully deprived repair shop of its superior right to possession to the
extent of its lien and therefore had wrongfully taken the car).

LA fugitive manhunt brings heavier Grammy policing
Published: Monday, February 11, 2013 at 9:39 a.m.
Last Modified: Monday, February 11, 2013 at 9:39 a.m.
LOS ANGELES — There is a heavier-than-usual police presence at the Grammy Awards because of a dangerous former Los Angeles police officer believed to have killed three people in a region-wide rampage this week.
Police Cmdr. Andy Smith says the always heavily guarded Grammys will see even more officers at Staples Center Sunday as the hunt for 33-year-old fugitive Christopher Dorner continues.
The search is focused in mountains 80 miles away, but police say Dorner could be anywhere, and most of the targets he threatened in an online manifesto have ties to the LAPD, which typically has a visible presence at the Grammys.
Scores of officers are outside Staples, others are stationed on a hotel roof across the street and Grammy participants' credentials are being checked constantly.
Dorner's manifesto mentions many celebrities, but makes no threats to entertainers.

Ten Tips for Recruiting IT Talent
The IT industry, like so many others, was hit hard by the economic downturn commonly known as the Great Recession. People across the globe were laid off or watched as their companies crumbled. It was unfortunate and took years to start to turn around.
Now, though, things are looking up. The IT industry is hiring more and CIOs are finding that they have the budgets to add staff. It's a good thing for IT professionals and an even better thing for companies that want to extend the overall success of their operations. As CIOs know all too well, IT is central to the average company's prospects for success.
However, attracting the right people isn't always easy and pitfalls abound. That has been made abundantly clear in a new study from TEKsystems, an IT staffing company that recently surveyed more than 2,000 IT professionals and 1,500 IT leaders about recruitment. The company's findings shed light on the sometimes-tenuous IT hiring process and provide some valuable insight into what CIOs should do in order to ensure they're getting the best talent for the job.

I just made these & they were not very crispy at all. Very floppy, great flavor but not what I was expecting. Not sure what it needs to make it better but, I don't think I will be making them again.
I'm sorry to hear these didn't turn out as crispy as you would have liked. These do tend to be a lighter and fluffier waffle.

BP to Install 550 Megawatts of Wind Power in Four States
January 17, 2007
BP announced on January 12th that it expects to begin construction on five wind power projects in the United States this year. BP Alternative Energy North America Inc., a BP subsidiary, will erect a total of 550 megawatts (MW) of wind power in five projects located in four states: California, Colorado, North Dakota, and Texas. Construction is already underway on the largest of the projects, the 300-MW Cedar Creek project in Weld County, Colorado. The project is expected to begin producing power in the second half of 2007.
The four remaining wind power projects include a west Texas project "in excess of 100 MW," a 60-MW facility in central Texas, a 65-MW wind plant in North Dakota, and the 20-MW Yaponcha wind power generation project, which involves installing new turbines at an existing wind power facility in California's San Gorgonio Pass. See the BP press release.

Missouri Voters Approve a Renewable Energy Requirement
Missouri voters have approved a measure that will require the state's investor-owned utilities to draw on renewable energy for 15% of their electricity supply by 2021. The Missouri Clean Energy Initiative, or Proposition C, passed easily, garnering approval from 66% of the state's voters and passing in every county but one. The statutory ballot measure defines renewable energy as wind power, solar thermal power, solar photovoltaic power, small hydropower, a variety of biomass energy sources, and fuel cells powered by hydrogen from renewable energy sources, but it also allows the Missouri Department of Natural Resources to designate new renewable energy sources. The measure requires at least 2% of the requirement to be met with solar energy, and it requires the utilities to offer their retail customers rebates of $2 per watt for customer-owned solar power systems, up to a limit of $50,000.
The ballot measure also allows utilities to buy their renewable power from out of state and to meet up to 100% of the requirement through the purchase of renewable energy credits (RECs), which can be bought from renewable energy facilities throughout the country. However, utilities cannot meet the requirements through the voluntary purchase of renewable energy by their customers, an approach known as "green pricing." Utilities that fall short of the requirement have to pay twice the going rate of the RECs needed for compliance, and the state will use that money to buy RECs and to support renewable energy and energy efficiency requirements. And to limit the impact of the measure on consumers, the cost impact of complying with the renewable energy requirement is capped at a 1% cost increase. The renewable requirement starts at 2% of sales in 2011 and gradually ratchets up to the 15% requirement by 2021. According to the Database of State Incentives for Renewable Energy (DSIRE), 28 states and the District of Columbia now have a mandatory requirement for renewable energy use. See the ballot measure, the election results from the Missouri Secretary of State, the Missouri Clean Energy Initiative Web site, and the DSIRE Web site.

That showtime has passed. Please try next available showtime.
Poland, 2013, 90 Minute Running Time
Genre/Subjects: Drama, Family Issues, Medical/Health
Program: Contemporary World CinemaLanguage: Polish English Subtitles
DIRECTOR: Bodo Kox
Producer: Wlodzimierz NiderhausEditor: Milenia FiedlerScreenwriter: Bodo KoxCinematographer: Arkadiusz TomiakPrincipal Cast: Wojciech Mecwaldowski, Piotr Glowacki, Magdalena Rozanska, Eryk Lubos, Teresa Sawicka
Polish director Bodo Kox has created a wonderfully unique story about two brothers who welcome a mysterious woman into their lives. If the film was made by an American director, Jim Jarmusch would come to mind—it's delightfully quirky.
Jacek (Piotr Glowacki) takes care of his challenged brother, Tomek (Wojciech Mecwaldowski). When the rude neighbor who usually watches Tomek balks, Jacek tries next-door neighbor Magda (Magdalena Rozanska, in her film debut), a mysterious woman who recently tried to kill herself with oven gas. Tomek strikes up an unlikely friendship with the beautiful yet neurotic Magda, who spends most of her alone time hanging out in her wardrobe cabinet. Magda, a sort of visual cross between Mia Farrow and Isabelle Huppert, gets high on grass, pops pills, and hallucinates—pretty much all the time. It seems the only person that matters to her is the often silent and unpredictable Tomek, and he seems to reciprocate and connect with her, as well. But it's apparent that there's something deeper going on with Tomek that will ultimately test the resolve of the trio.

Alone, at night, on top of a mountain, she took out her cellphone and began documenting her harrowing ordeal, 127 Hours-style.
"I am fucking scared," De Forest says at one point. "I am really scared. But, in, like, the calmest, coolest sense."

Go to most company websites these days, and they try to sell you on all the "perks" of working there – free drinks, pajama parties, ice cream socials, bring your bird to work day…
Sure, that all sounds fun, but is that really why
you want to join a company?
Ask anyone on our team why they came to Catapult Systems, or why they are still here, and unanimously they will say: "the people". In fact, the foundation of Catapult's success has always been our people and each person, regardless of role, plays an integral part in that success.
IT consulting is a challenging field, and it's not for everyone. It takes a combined effort from Catapult's corporate and consulting teams to realize the success our clients have come to expect. When you work with
great people, you're
learning each and every day, and you're
empowered to make decisions, the result is high employee AND high client satisfaction.
Bottom line – Catapult Systems is a place where you matter, and what you do matters. You will be challenged, and you will make a difference in the lives of your co-workers, in the lives of our clients, and in the communities in which we live.
(And we eat a lot of ice cream!)
"I've never felt like I had to "sell" Catapult in an interview. The company tends to sell itself through the people a candidate meets." -Liam Collopy, Vice President

How a new word enters an Oxford dictionary
Oxford University Press has one of the largest and most wide-ranging language research programmes in the world. Our most important resources are the Oxford English Corpus and the Oxford Reading Programme. The Corpus consists of entire documents sourced largely from the World Wide Web, while the Reading Programme is an electronic collection of sentences or short extracts drawn from a huge variety of writing, from song lyrics and popular fiction to scientific journals. It's based on the contributions of an international network of readers who are on the lookout for instances of new words and meanings or other language changes.
We continually monitor the Corpus and the Reading Programme to track new words coming into the language: when we have evidence of a new term being used in a variety of different sources (not just by one writer) it becomes a candidate for inclusion in one of our dictionaries. For every new dictionary or online update we assess all the most recent terms that have emerged and select those which we judge to be the most significant or important and those which we think are likely to stand the test of time.

Now more than ever it's a great time to be a wastewater operator-- a true hero on the front lines of public health protection. Timing is great because resources and support for the essential work operators do is expanding continually at WEF and improving around the country as I blog.
One big example is the National Guidelines for Wastewater Systems Operator Apprenticeship, adopted late last year by the U.S. Department of Labor. (Click here for the WEF Highlights article for more information.) These important national guidelines for wastewater systems operators establish a clear point of entry into the profession, something that will elevate the profile of this vital occupation. Other results from the national guidelines could include more consistent training and education, and expanded opportunity for reciprocity, where operators who are certified by federal standards in one state could just as easily work in another. The guidelines have been shared with state DOL offices. Pennsylvania WEA has already taken steps to work with the City of Reading and the local DOL to implement the guidelines.
The Wastewater Collection and Treatment Operations Resources Center on the WEF website is also extremely helpful for wastewater operators and others interested in the profession. There you'll find information for certification, continuing education, and training, plus technical resources and multiple opportunities to connect with peers.
Speaking of connecting with peers, there will be plenty of networking at Collection Systems 2013: Gold Nuggets of Knowledge underway in Sacramento, CA June 9 – 12. Professionals from throughout the collection systems industry attend to learn about improving organization effectiveness as it relates to combined and separate sanitary sewer collection systems. WEF's Collection Systems Committee is hosting an open technical discussion forum on Tuesday afternoon during the conference to share experiences and lessons learned on topics such as "dealing with flushable wipes", "keeping FOG out of sewers", and integrated planning.
As a long-time member and supporter of the wastewater collection systems industry, I am delighted to see such action in this area. Keep an eye out for more related information and innovations in wastewater operations!

Good morning and welcome to Summit Up, the world's only daily column that is pleased to offer an Angel Alert!! Angel Alert!! as a follow-up to a previous Scum Alert. In the Feb. 11 edition of Summit Up, we called out an unknown driver who drove into the fence at the Fireside Inn at French and Wellington awhile back and drove off without owning up. Well, justice can at last be served, thanks to Breck police officer Ortega who found the offender's license plate left behind at the scene of the crime, under the snow.
Well all this news of meteorites over Russia has gotten us thinking --what if the eventual apocalypse isn't zombies or Mayans at all, but aliens? Have we been preparing for the wrong one all this time? After a brief moment of panic, we decided to look back on all our favorite alien movies to see what we could do to prepare ourselves for the next threat. If it's a Predator-style alien, we know we should roll around in mud to mask our heat signatures. If they're like the creatures from Independence Day, we know we can rely on a simple laptop virus and the U.S. president in a fighter jet. While there are too many alien races from Star Trek to list, it seems like the Enterprise crew managed to do pretty well for themselves overall, so long as they weren't a red-shirted ensign.
So there you have it. Now, if you don't mind, we're off to roll in the mud, take a course on simultaneous computer hacking and fighter jet piloting, burn all our red shirts, and re-watch the alien movies for extraterrestrial butt-kicking technique tips. We out.

Knitter's Review
March 4, 2010
Until last year, few knitters could locate Haapsalu on a map much less pronounce the word "nupp" correctly. Nancy Bush changed all that with her book, Knitted Lace of Estonia.
Once the knitters of Haapsalu realized that the world was listening, they came together and created their own book about their knitting tradition. The English translation of that book, The Haapsalu Shawl, is now available in North America. It weighs three pounds, is the size of a MacBook, and costs the equivalent of 20 lattes. What's up?

Nativity scene Jesus returned, replacement swiped
Published: Wednesday, December 5, 2012 at 6:43 a.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, December 5, 2012 at 6:43 a.m.
CHAMBERSBURG, Pa. (AP) — A baby Jesus figure taken from a Pennsylvania church's Nativity scene last year was found cradled in the arms of a nearby statue, just hours before the replacement statue was swiped.
The vintage figurine was taken last year from outside Chambersburg's Central Presbyterian Church. It was found Sunday in the arms of a bronze Civil War soldier statue across the town square.
A local business had replaced the Jesus statue when the Nativity scene was set up a couple weeks ago. The Chambersburg Public Opinion (http://bit.ly/11yfQ5C ) reports that replacement statue was swiped sometime after services on Sunday.
Congregant Buffy Super calls the statue's return a "Christmas miracle." Another says the church will have to considering securing the statue to deter theft.

The new MAA career brochure We Do Math! highlights eight profiles that illustrate careers beyond the classroom. These vignettes describe a variety of non-academic careers for which a background in the mathematical sciences is useful. Each of the jobs presented shows real people in real jobs. The eight-panel brochure is 4" by 9" (folded) and can be mailed in a standard envelope or distributed in the classroom or at career fairs or recruiting events. This is a great way to show how mathematics is involved in just about everything!
Many of those profiled can be found in 101 Careers in Mathematics, or on our careers page. The latest edition of the career brochure was released in late 2007 and is now available for purchase (100 for $30). If interested, please contact the MAA Service Center at 800-331-1622 or email@example.com.
If you have an alumnus who you believe should be featured in future career brochures, or if you have general questions about the brochure itself, please contact firstname.lastname@example.com.

Since last firmware, PSrMS started acting strangely.
Basically, 4 of 5 times it transcodes divx while copying. It doesn't seem to be a logic why some are transcoded and some are not. The only thing I can say is that I've only tried copying files with incorporated subtitles (using AVIaddxSubs). For some of them, it was enough to rename them as .mpg but after a while it seemed like PS3MS "noticed" the trick and now it's not working anymore.

'American Horror Story: Asylum' Season Finale: Hot Mess or Bloody Good?
Loose ends are wrapped up in the season finale, so if that's what you want in a finale, you'll be pleased, although most of it is narrated by Lana as a television interview, and it all moves rather slowly. Lana and Johnny have their showdown. If you were expecting insights about the devil or the aliens, not so much.
In the opening, Johnny listens to an audiobook read by the author—his mother—describing the horrors of Briarcliff, while he walks through its ruins. He imagines her sitting in a bathtub saying he was conceived in hate. He imagines his father Oliver saying "I loved you even when you were still in the womb."
Flashback to four months ago, and the newlyweds from episode one. This time we see what happened to them from Johnny's POV, as he pulls on his mask and prepares to chop off Leo's arm with a machete.
We remain in the present, four months back, in Lana's swanky NYC apartment. A TV journalist interviews her about the Kennedy Center honor. Lana's leading a glamorous life. Lana doesn't want to talk about Bloodyface, because he should not be a household name.
So instead she and the interviewer discuss Lana's Briarcliff expose. Flashback to Lana leading a TV team into Briarcliff through the tunnels. We see some of "Briarcliff Exposed," old faded video color and all. She narrates how it has deteriorated since the church sold it in 1965. Lana demands to see Judy Martin. Jude is rocking, looking bad, in solitary. Lana says she's come to get her out. Cameras are rolling.
Except they're not. Lana tells her interviewer, in the present, that it never happened. Jude was gone by the time Lana went in. Lana needs to take a break, and it's Johnny who hands her the sparkling water, having gotten himself hired as crew somehow.
Back in the past— it's the 70s, since Carole King is playing and Lana's wearing a long leather coat—Lana knocks on Kit's door. "You did it, you shut down Briarcliff!" he crows, then is annoyed by a camera crew filming their reunion. She asks him about Betty Drake—Lana's alias after she supposedly died. He agrees to talk, without the crew. She shows him a paper that says Betty Drake was released to the care of Kit Walker in 1970, just a few months after Lana's booksigning. Kit says he brought her home for the kids, so he could forgive and leave Briarcliff behind. First, though, Lana had to detox from all the meds.
Even detoxed Jude's a little crazy, chasing the children around and talking about the children's ward. Somehow the children are able to calm her with a walk in the woods, and for six months they're happy enough as Jude teaches them swing-dancing and other things. Jude tells Kit's daughter, in 1971, never to let a man make her feel she is less than she is, and that she can do anything. She tells his son not to pick his nose, and never to take a job just for the money. The angel of death comes and kisses her.
Next Lana tells the interviewer about her expose of Cardinal Howard, and we see her cornering him on his way to Easter Mass. She grills him about Dr. Arden's human experiments, and she reminds him that there is no statute of limitations on murder. He drives off. The Cardinal killed himself, and people blamed her for it. Lies destroy your soul.
The journalist knows Lana is talking about her own lie. And Lana decides to come clean about her big lie that her baby died. Johnny listens in. She talks about how she tracked down her son once, while we see in a flashback her pulling a bully off of him in the schoolyard. One would feel sorry for Johnny if we didn't know it's too late for him. She became godmother to Kit's kids. Kit married again, and his kids turned out well. Kit developed pancreatic cancer and was on death's door when he disappeared. Oh those wacky aliens.
The interview's over, but Lana knows Johnny's still there. She pours him a drink and says "let's get this over with." He tells her her eventful life is about to end. "I knew it the moment I saw you," she says. She wonders how he got himself hired. He did it by slitting the throat of the first crew member to arrive. She claims she recognized him because he's her son, but we see a scene of two cops telling her about him. He says he realized who he was because of that day on the playground, and dreamed one day she'd come back. She found the tape of Lana telling Bloodyface she was going to abort him on ebay. That's actually pretty funny. Johnny cries that he can't measure up to his father. Lana says her little boy could never be a monster, and she caresses his face. Why he falls for the sympathy I don't know. Not hugely surprising when she takes the gun, says it's her fault– and shoots him.
We flashback to her initial entry to Briarcliff, as Jude tells her ambition is dangerous.
What did you think? Questions left?

Better living through nature
by Susan Melgren, Web Editor
natural health, news, soda, brominated flame retardants, brominated vegetable oil, caramel coloring, BPA, high fructose corn syrup, 2-methylimidazole, 4-methylimidazole, cancer, phosphates, fat, weight gain
Got a soda habit you just can't kick? You probably already know that soda is bad for you—but do you know just how bad? Check out the facts below for 6 very good reasons why you should drop the soda can and walk away.
It comes as no surprise that all the added in sugars in soda would contribute to weight gain. Most sodas in the U.S. are made with high fructose corn syrup, which has been linked to abnormal weight gain. (For more on how high fructose corn syrup affects our weight, check out the post "High Fructose Corn Syrup Makes Us Fat. Now We Know.") But if you think you're safe drinking diet soda, think again. A study from the University of Texas Health Science Center found that drinking diet soda on a daily basis can expand waist circumference by 70 percent over a 10-year period, as compared to those who don't drink any soda. (And if you drink two diet sodas a day, watch out! Your waist could expand by 500 percent!) Many diet sodas in the U.S. are made with aspartame, which raise blood glucose levels in the body, and an excess of which the liver turns into body fat.
It's not just your waistline that's at risk though. Drinking soda can cause hidden fat buildup on our organs and skeletal muscles. In a Danish study, researchers found that drinking regular soda contributed to a 132 to 142 percent increase in liver fat and a 117 to 121 percent jump in skeletal fat. This extra fat contributes to insulin resistance and has been linked to the development of diabetes.
Sodas are laced with phosphates to give the product that "pop" and fizz and help preserve it. While phosphates exist naturally in many foods, overconsumption of phosphates can accelerate the aging process, contributing to early muscle and skin degeneration, as well as kidney disease and decreased cardiovascular function.
It seems that these days, everything has the potential to cause cancer, and soda is no exception. That brown coloring in soda is far from natural; it contains two chemical ingredients, 2-methylimidazole (2-MI) and 4-methylimidazole (4-MI), which have been shown to be carcinogenic in animal studies. Both Coke and Pepsi announced earlier this year that they would make changes to their caramel coloring to avoid placing a cancer warning label on their products.
Most soda manufacturers line the inside of their cans with bisphenol A (BPA) because it acts as a barrier between the metal and the soda. BPA is a synthetic estrogen that can interfere with hormones and normal development in children. BPA exposure has been linked to everything from infertility to diabetes to heart disease.
At Natural Home & Garden, we warn about brominated flame retardants all the time—but usually we're talking about their presence in bedding and fabric! (Although it's not unheard of for toxic flame retardants to be found in common foods.) The substance, known as brominated vegetable oil, is used in a variety of drinks—Fanta Orange, Sunkist Pineapple, Mountain Dew and others—to keep artificial coloring from separating from the rest of the drink and floating to the top of the container. Extreme consumption of sodas containing brominated vegetable oil can resulted in memory loss, nerve disorders and skin lesions.
Like the caffeine? Try drinking iced tea instead. Like the carbonation? Try sparkling water. Making your own soda is a great way to enjoy the fizzy sweetness of soda while still retaining control over what you put in your body. Check out these three homemade soda recipes to get started.

The emerging FOSS revolution in Cuba
Cuba is the rough diamond of the western-southern hemisphere. Intentionally neutered by almost 50 years of U.S. foreign policy, Cuba has still been able to create one of the world's highest literacy rates, provide free health care to all its citizens, and exports more doctors than any other nation. Now Cuba stands on the precipice of a revolution in the use and development of free and open source software. This will not only likely have dramatic effects on the internal politics of the nation, but also lead to Cuba's next significant export -- free and open source software.

More Democrats Seek Delay in Health-Law Penalty
More Democrats called for a delay in a core element of the federal health law, with two senators blasting the Obama administration's rollout of a health-insurance website and its response to public criticism.
Sen. Kay Hagan (D., N.C.), who is up for re-election in 2014, said in a Thursday statement that the $95 penalty on individuals who fail to enroll in a health insurance plan should be waived for two months. That penalty starts at $95 for 2014 tax returns.
A few hours earlier, Sen. Richard Blumenthal (D., Conn.) said in a television interview that the U.S. needs to consider delaying the penalty, which as at the heart of the 2010 law designed to prod Americans without health insurance into buying coverage.
The two Democrats, who rarely break with the Obama administration, spoke Thursday in unusually harsh terms about the administration's implementation of the law. Both said that the White House needs to be more open about what went wrong–criticisms that sound similar to those coming from Republicans.
"They haven't leveled with the United States Senate," Mr. Blumenthal said on MSNBC. "They haven't briefed us on what they think are the underlying problems. They were supposed to do so yesterday and canceled the meeting. So I think there needs to be fuller, fairer, more straightforward and complete accounting for what's going on."
Ms. Hagan said that the Obama administration "must be fully transparent in their efforts to get the Web site working. Anything less than complete disclosure and accountability is not acceptable."
More Democrats have been sounding off about the problems with the new online marketplaces, as this WSJ article explains. Sen. Jeanne Shaheen (D., N.H.) earlier this week called for delaying penalties if the technology isn't fixed. Within a day, Democrats in both the House and the Senate were starting to share those concerns.
Democrats generally support the 2010 Affordable Care Act and are concerned that the botched rollout will undercut the law's goals of bringing insurance to most Americans. The penalty is at the heart of a mandate that individuals buy health insurance. Without it, the risk is that healthier Americans will not sign up, prompting insurers to raise premiums to unaffordable levels.

Grant Abstract
Grant Number:
PI Name: ODDONE
Project Title: Building Interdisciplinary Research Careers in Women's Health
Abstract: DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The Duke/North Carolina Central University (NCCU) BIRCWH Program is designed to develop highly skilled researchers investigating women's health issues, with a strong emphasis on interdisciplinary scholarship. The Program will accomplish this through the following Specific Aims: Specific Aim 1: Provide BIRCWH scholars with didactic and experiential training in the conduct of women's health research across a wide spectrum of disciplines, with a focus on women's health across the lifespan. Specific Aim 2: Coordinate a comprehensive mentorship experience, with the defined outcome that each Scholar will submit at least one grant for independent funding during their BIRCWH tenure. Specific Aim 3: Engage Scholars in structured discussions designed to help them to achieve mastery of the principles and practices of interdisciplinary scholarship, and to apply them to their research. Specific Aim 4: Implement a newly designed strategy for identifying and recruiting minority Scholars. Specific Aim 5: Integrate the BIRCWH model into institutional programs that address the professional development needs of all research-oriented junior faculty members. The overarching theme for the Duke/NCCU Program will be women's health across the life-span, with areas of research interest that include maternal consequences of childbearing, conditions that affect women, and health care utilization and disparities. A group of experienced core mentors will support the Scholars, and a distinguished Advisory Committee will provide oversight as well as regular evaluations of the Program and Scholar progress. The collaboration between Duke and NCCU, a Historically Black University, will strengthen our goal of training minority scholars. The Program has significant institutional support as indicated by the Dean of the Duke School of Medicine continuing to serve as Principal Investigator, supplemental funding from the Duke Schools of Medicine and Nursing that will support an additional scholar, the active participation of our NGCU Co-Investigator in crafting an effective partnership, the Program Director's institutional role in women's health and faculty development, and the in-kind support provided through the Duke School of Medicine Office of Faculty Development. The Duke/NCCU BIRCWH Program is relevant to public health because it trains researchers whose work will lead to improved treatments for a wide range of conditions affecting women.
