To borrow a lyric from Uncle Kracker, tonight's 2-1 Minnesota Wild win over the Philadelphia Flyers was a "flower poking through the sidewalk crack." The Wild's top two goaltenders were in street clothes, and the Wild is desperate for every available point on this five-game homestand.
Then, Anton Khudobin comes along and "makes us smile," in more ways than one. His brilliance, along with goals by Cal Clutterbuck and Owen Nolan, gave the Wild its 19th win in its 32nd one-goal game.
"Our goaltender was great tonight," said Todd Richards. "He was the difference in the game."
While Khudobin may be one of the funniest quotes in the Wild locker room (when asked about his weight today by a reporter, he came back with, "I wish I were taller.), I have to admit I was a little nervous about him getting his first NHL start in an uber-important game against the Philadelphia Flyers.
And if you told me that Khudobin would allow just one goal while tying the Wild's season-high for saves in a game with 38 (Josh Harding stopped 38 in a loss to Washington in November), I would have taken my leather gloves and slapped you across the face not once, but twice!
Khudobin was fantastic, and he was rightfully named the star of the game, and you know you're in Minnesota when the crowd recognizes what it just witnessed: a rookie goalie getting an improbable win against a tough team. That raucous standing ovation he received will remain in his medulla oblongata for the rest of his life.
Any chance they get, Richards and General Manager Chuck Fletcher rave about the grit and leadership that Owen Nolan brings to his team. Today, Nolan, along with Kim Johnsson, had the Alternate Captain's "A" added to his jersey for the remainder of the season and he responded with one of his best all-around performances of the year.
Though he wasn't credited with an assist, and he technically only got a two-minute roughing minor when he dropped the gloves with the horrendously mulleted Scott Hartnell, Nolan earned a pseudo Gordie Howe hat trick. It was his hustle that caused Philly keeper Michael Leighton to lose the puck behind the net, which led to a loose disc out front that Cal Clutterbuck converted for his 11th of the year. Nolan then picked up the game-winner by driving to the net after dishing off to Eric Belanger, and he muscled in the rebound. Aside from those plays, Nolan was doing it all, and he could have walked away with more points if not for some spectacular saves by Leighton.
How many times did we talk about the "scoring-first" stat in the past? It wasn't so much of a concern, because the Wild was finding ways to win a lot of games, despite giving up the early lead. But this new trend the Wild has going is a little more enjoyable. After giving up the first goal in 24 of 32 games, the Wild has scored first in six of the last seven, including tonight. Granted, that lead was erased in 16 seconds by Daniel Carcillo, but I do declare that being tied, 1-1 is better than having to come back from down 1-0.
The Wild has now earned at least one point in nine straight games at Xcel Energy Center (8-0-1), its longest such streak since going 6-0-4 to end the 2008-2009 season. The Wild has won four in a row at home for the second time since early January. The club is now 20-6-2 at home this season and 26-6-6 in its last 38 games in St. Paul, dating back to February 19, 2009.

Kane Continues Hot Start, Posts #6 Mark in CA for 1600; Cantrell Sets Meet Record in 100 at Dan Gabor Invitational
The Dragons track & field team continued their impressive start to the season, competing in the two-day Dan Gabor Invitational at Amador Valley High School in Pleasanton this past weekend. The distance portion of the meet took place on Friday night under the lights while the sprints and field events took place on Saturday.
Highlighting the action was senior Sam Kane, who continued his hot start to the season by taking 2nd overall in the 1600 meter run. The highly anticipated race featured 3 of the top returning 1600 runners in the North Coast Section, 2 of which were CIF State Qualifiers in the event last season. Kane sat patiently in the field of 25 athletes, staying out of trouble and in contact with the leaders and closed well over the final half of the race to finish 2nd overall in a huge personal best mark of 4:17.20, only a second behind the leader. He shaved 10 seconds off his previous best and his mark is currently the 6th fastest 1600 mark in the state.
Also performing well under the stadium lights was junior Eugene Hamilton and senior Jonathan DeGroot, both posting fine early season 800 meter times of 1:58.54 and 1:59.44, respectively. In the 3200, senior Karsten Kaufmann highlighted the night of personal bests by racing to a personal record of 9:40.71, a 35 second improvement from his previous best mark.
Not to be outdone, senior Marie Diaz matched her male counterpart in the 3200 meter run by posting a personal best mark of 11:34.34, an improvement of over 35 seconds as well.
Other female highlights included senior Claire Mischeaux, who lead a string of Dragons across the finish line as she set a PR of 5:30.78 in the 1600 meter run. She was followed closely by freshmen Alyssa Byer and Meredith Nix in 5:32.29 and 5:33.55, respectively. Junior Keisha May had a stellar race in her first open 800 race ever. She maintained contact with the leaders before making a strong push for the lead, eventually settling for 2nd place in her heat in a great early season time of 2:25.07.
The following day proved to be just as successful for the Dragons as sophomore Gabriella Cantrell blasted to a new meet record time in the girls 100 meter dash. Starting in the center of the track, Cantrell closed well over the last half of the race to pull away from her competitors to run a wind-legal mark of 12.41. She would come back later to team up with juniors Ryan Daniel & May and freshman Navah Evans to anchor the girls 4×400 relay to a time of 4:04.93, which was also a new meet record.
Other top 5 finishes on Saturday included junior Kevin King and senior Theodore Ruth who both cleared 6 feet in the boys high jump, tying for 2nd place. Twins Andria and Alexis Maynard both placed in the throws with Andria taking 5th in the shot put with a mark of 30-07.50 while Alexis flung the discus to a mark of 108-2, good for 3rd place. Rounding out the top 5 finishes was the boys 4×400 relay team of sophomore Trevor Ruth, DeGroot, Kane and Hamilton. They nearly matched their female teammates in victory, but settled for 2nd place in a time of 3:25.90, behind the top returning 4×400 relay team in the NCS.

MILWAUKEE -- Brady Clark is the biggest beneficiary of Carlos Lee's emerging comfort in the National League.
With his slugging teammate on a tear, Clark's 28 runs are tied with Jeff Kent atop the NL.
Lee extended his hitting streak to 10 games and his RBI streak to nine Tuesday night, when Clark ignited a four-run sixth inning in Milwaukee's 8-5 win over the Philadelphia Phillies.
Clark had three singles. His first one led to a three-run rally in the first, his second drove in a run an inning later and his third drove in Damian Miller from third to erase a 5-4 deficit in the sixth.
Junior Spivey then drew a bases-loaded walk off Terry Adams (0-2) to give Milwaukee a 6-5 lead and Lee welcomed reliever Geoff Geary with a two-run single, extending his hot streak that's quickly atoning for a slow start.
"Look at his numbers in the past. You don't worry about how he started. Now, he's going to drive in runs," Clark said of Lee, who was acquired from the Chicago White Sox for leadoff hitter Scott Podsednik over the winter.
Lee's surge -- he's hitting .364 during the streak -- has coincided with the Brewers' 8-3 homestand.
"He's getting more comfortable with his team, the league and here at Miller Park," Milwaukee manager Ned Yost said. "He's just doing his thing."
And Clark is doing his thing as the Brewers' new leadoff man.
"I believe I'm going to get a hit every time," Clark said.
Julio Santana (1-1) pitched two innings for his first win since May 20, 2002, for Detroit against Cleveland. He allowed Mike Lieberthal's second homer of the night, a solo shot that broke a 4-all tie in the top of the sixth.
With closer Derrick Turnbow unavailable because he'd thrown 75 pitches in five appearances over the previous week, Ricky Bottalico pitched the ninth for his first save in four chances this year and his first since Aug. 28, 2001, while he was with the Phillies.
"That's a long time," Bottalico said. "It was just nice to get a save and do anything I can to help Turnbow out."
Philadelphia manager Charlie Manuel and third baseman David Bell were ejected by plate umpire Alfonso Marquez. Manuel was tossed in the fifth when he argued a strike call on Bell.
Bell was ejected two innings later after he was called out on strikes and threw his bat toward the backstop, then had to be restrained as he hollered at the plate umpire, tossed his helmet and then kicked another one.
"Once (Marquez) said it was an equipment fine, I think he just lost it," Lieberthal said of Bell.
Both Manuel and Bell complained about strike calls on identical low-and-inside pitches.
"I knew that wasn't a strike," Manuel said of the one that got him tossed.
The Phillies, who have homered seven times in the first two games of the three-game series, also got a home run from Bobby Abreu for the third straight game. Abreu's sixth homer was a two-run shot in the first off Gary Glover that barely cleared Clark's glove as he made a leaping attempt in center field.
Lyle Overbay, who sat out most of the last two games with a tight hamstring, lined the first pitch he saw from Vicente Padilla for a three-run homer, his seventh, in the bottom of the inning to give Milwaukee a 3-2 lead.
Clark made it 4-2 with an RBI single in the second, but the Brewers blew a chance at breaking the game open in the third, when they loaded the bases with nobody out and failed to score.
Lieberthal led off the fifth with his second homer of the year, and Padilla followed with a double down the left-field line. After Jimmy Rollins' infield single put runners at the corners with nobody out, Placido Polanco punched a single to right field to tie it at 4 and chase Glover, who allowed four runs and seven hits in four-plus innings.
After a passed ball, Santana intentionally walked Abreu to load the bases with nobody out. But the Phillies stranded the bases full, just as Milwaukee did in the third inning.
This was Lieberthal's ninth career multihomer game, his first since Sept. 19, 2003, against Cincinnati. ... Brewers ace Ben Sheets will throw batting practice Wednesday, the first time he's faced hitters since being sidelined by an inner ear infection last month. ... The Brewers hadn't won eight times in a homestand since the 1999 season.

Starting today, if you want to explore the world's oceans — from the bottom of Monterey Bay to Australia's Great Barrier Reef — you won't need a scuba tank or submarine, only a home computer and Internet connection.
Expanding its popular Google Earth software, Mountain View-based Google on Monday unveiled an aquatic component — think "Google Ocean" — that aims to turn everyone into Jacques Cousteau.
The new feature combines satellite imagery, underwater photographs, video and scientific data that allows users to see 3-D images of the ocean floor, along with features like the location of shipwrecks and coral reefs.
It was rolled out at a news conference Monday at the California Academy of Sciences in San Francisco's Golden Gate Park, attended by former Vice President Al Gore, singer Jimmy Buffett and a who's who of oceanographers.
Marine scientists predicted that the free software will become an important tool in expanding the public's understanding of the oceans and the environmental challenges facing them.
"Not just sober scientists but the whole world can use this as a way to know the whole world," said oceanographer Sylvia Earle, National Geographic explorer-in-residence. "It took a long time for me to be able to see a turtle underwater, now any little kid can do it."
Oceans cover 70 percent of the earth's surface, yet less than 5 percent of the ocean floor has been mapped in detail. In fact, there are better images of the moon and Mars than of much of the world's undersea topography.
The primary information to create the images came from existing U.S. Navy sonar and data from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and the Scripps Institution of Oceanography in San Diego. Marine researchers said they hope scientists will expand the maps in the years ahead, adding more sonar images, wildlife video and other information from their research.
The new version rolled out Monday contains some of that, including the boundaries of the world's marine protected areas, arctic ice and daily sea surface temperature changes, along with the routes of sharks, tuna, turtles and other marine animals that have been tagged with GPS devices by scientists at Stanford University and other institutions.
It also includes historic images, which allow users to see how places have changed over the years.
During the news conference, Gore, who works as a senior adviser to Google, highlighted that feature, discussing his visit to Montana's Glacier National Park in the 1990s. While Google Earth images zoomed in on the park's Grinnell Glacier, Gore noted how much it has melted in the past two decades. The new software also features historic information that showed the glacier's size shrinking since 1991.
"It's practically not even a glacier anymore," Gore said. "When I was there not long ago I walked where that pool of water has formed. This is an extremely powerful new tool.
"One of my fondest hopes is that people around the world will use Google Earth to see for themselves the reality of what is happening because of the climate crisis."
Google Earth, first released in 2005, basically works by creating maps that combine satellite photographs, aerial photography and geographic mapping data to build 3-D images so that computer users can "fly" — like in a video game — above the Earth to view mountains, coastlines, cities, even streets and houses.
Since then, the software has been used to map the refugee crisis in Darfur, damage from Hurricane Katrina and the aftermath of last year's Chinese earthquake. Google assembled the aquatic version — an automatic download with the new Google Earth 5.0 — after meeting last year with many of the world's top marine scientists.
The ocean images are still a work in progress, however. Many undersea areas that have not been explored in much detail are only depicted in general shapes. Generating high-quality sonar images and photographs of every square foot of ocean floor would be a massive undertaking.
"It would take billions of dollars. You'd need fleets of unmanned underwater vehicles operating in formation, and some countries wouldn't even let you explore their territorial waters," said Marcia McNutt, president of Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute, based in Moss Landing. "It would take at least 25 years."
But previous generations have explored the land and the moon, and perhaps the coming generation will focus on the oceans, several scientists said Monday.
"Sometimes it is tempting for us to think we have explored everything we have to explore," said Terry Garcia, executive vice president of the National Geographic Society. "A tourist can fly to nearly everywhere on the planet, and satellites have mapped nearly every square inch, but there are still places not explored, mysteries still to be answered."

Local farms are the targeted ingredient source for Cynthea Spa's freshly crafted hand scrubs.
Cynthea's Spa
Burlington, VT
Cynthea's Spa owner Cynthea Wight Hausman fosters community goodwill and attracts new clients through her support of local farms and the ingredients they provide. Hausman works closely with the Intervale Center—a local center for sustainable agriculture that works with 21 farms in the area—to provide ingredients for her spa's homemade products. She also demonstrates how to use them at a "pop-up spa" set up outside her facility and at the Intervale's weekly summertime parties. "This was a natural for us, because we target moms and people who are passionate about being local and making healthy choices," says Hausman. "The effort is worth it, because it gets our name out and lets people know what we're about."
Hausman sets up chairs at her makeshift spas and stocks them with the freshest farm-derived ingredients (such as goat's milk, berries and flowers) to craft custom scrubs on the spot. Technicians massage the scrub onto visitors' willing hands and remove the product with hot towels, then finish with a brief hand massage. "That's the key—people need to try it themselves," says the owner, who also offers custom scrub service in-spa to clients waiting for other services. "It's an easy way to accommodate guests, and it doesn't cost a lot!" she says.
Hausman advises spa owners to connect with local farms through a similar organization or through area farmers' markets, and to use local ingredients to craft one-of-a-kind signature scrubs. This will differentiate your spa from others, and make your services truly unique. And clients will be more apt to come back, says Hausman, because services will change with the seasons and ingredients' availability. (They'll also appreciate your positive effects on the local economy.) "Little things make a big difference, and this is one example of how you have to give to get," Hausman says. "By authentically sharing your passions, you'll gain plenty of followers!"

Brandon Magee named Pac-12 Defensive Player of the Week
Arizona State senior linebacker Brandon Magee was named the Pac-12 Defensive Player of the Week for his role in a 41-34 victory over the Arizona Wildcats.
Magee recorded a career-high 17 tackle (14 solo), including three for loss, in the Sun Devils' thrilling victory.
The senior from Corona, California sat out all of last season due to a torn Achilles tendon, but this year has been the anchor for the Arizona State defense.
His 104 tackles rank second in the Pac-12 this season and are the most by any Sun Devil since 2007.
A two sport athlete, Magee was drafted by the Boston Red Sox in 23rd round of the 2012 MLB draft.

City Council Requires More Access to Information About Some Charters
The City Council Wednesday passed a bill to require the New York City Department of Education to submit annual reports about the demographics and academic performance of schools that share space with each other.
Under the legislation, the Department of Education would post information on its website about the special education status, English language learner status, test scores and percentage of students eligible for free and reduced price lunch for co-located schools. The bill passed 50-0, with one member absent.
Councilman Andy King, a Bronx Democrat and the bill's sponsor, called the legislation, "a victory in putting us back on the road of one educational system for all."
Some lawmakers hope the legislation will increase scrutiny on charter schools, public schools that are funded with taxpayer dollars but independently run. Critics have said some charter schools achieve good academic results by cherry-picking the best students, while charters say they serve some of the least privileged students.
Most of the information is already available through the Department of Education website, but council members said the legislation would make it easier to access.
Mayor Bill de Blasio is expected to sign the bill into law, an aide said.

Top shopping center investor is adding to its North Texas merchant mix
It shouldn't come as a surprise that popular retailer Lululemon Athletica is putting two of its first North Texas stores in shopping centers owned by Retail Properties of America.
The Illinois-based shopping center investor's Shops at Legacy in Plano and Southlake Town Square retail projects are two of the most popular shopping destinations in the Dallas-Fort Worth area.
And Lululemon has signed up for new stores in both projects.
"This is legacy real estate – it's generational stuff," said Retail Properties' COO Shane Garrison, who was at the Plano center on Wednesday. "It's just going to get better and better."
Garrison and other officers with the nationwide retail real estate firm are in town this week to talk with investors and look at the company's holdings here.
There's a lot to see: Almost 4 million square feet of shopping centers Retail Properties owns in North Texas.
"Our biggest footprint is in the Dallas area," Garrison said. "We think there is a lot of wind at our back in this market for a long time to come."
Along with the Shops at Legacy and Southlake Town Square, Retail Properties' other major holdings in North Texas include the Lincoln Park shopping center in North Dallas and Denton Crossing.
Across the country, Retail Properties' $6 billion in properties are about 93 percent leased – up from 87 percent at the worst of the recession.
"We have done a pretty good job filling the vacant space since the recession," said Jason Kasal, the retail landlord's North Texas leasing director. "We are spending a lot of time upgrading our tenants."
In projects like the Shops at Legacy on the Dallas North Tollway in West Plano, Retail Properties is being careful with what merchants it chooses.
"We could lease every vacant space we have to restaurants," Kasal said. "That's not a healthy mix."

Razor "Saws" Hair for Easier Shaving
- Created: Saturday, 01 September 2012
With traditional razors, the cutting edge of a blade moves in the direction of the cut. A new shaving device, however, includes one or more blades that perform a vibrating motion perpendicular to the direction of the cut, and parallel to the blade's edge; the hairs are cut by sawing, rather than cutting.
Because an additional blade movement is introduced (in the direction parallel to the blade), the sawing of the hair is easier than cutting. As sawing requires less energy than cutting, the act of shaving becomes easier. Other features of the invention include smoother skin feel, shorter shaving time, and longer life span of the razor.

Perhaps Xport could shine some insight on this...
1) All lightguns should support NTSC and PAL 50/60
2) Support for Pal 100 is optional
3) Does support for HD lightguns exists at all? From what I have read HOTD II and III will work with lightguns in HD. Do all lightguns work with HOTD in HD or are only some models of guns compatable? Also What Emulators support lightguns on a HDTV set? ( in any resolution... compatability is the key )
I have talked to people who claim that they have one lightgun that works in mame on a HD set when in 480p mode, yet it does not work at 1080i or 480i (their set is not 720p compatable)
Xport has also said things on other posts that could indicate that his other emus (fceultra for one) does not support lightguns in HD at all. is this true?
My HD set will up/down sample anything to its native 720p resolution.
Arg, i dont want to buy a gun thats not going to work
Whats the deal?
Ill add guns ive found online here

Question: Will the Xbox Blaster work on an HDTV/Plasma/Projection set?
Answer: The original batch of Blasters were made to work with standard tube TVs, and therefore cannot use the HD signal correctly.
Mad Catz has released a new Blaster which will support 50/60/100/120hz and most progressive scan televisions, along with projection and standard TVs. For more information, please contact Technical Support at 1.800.659.2287, or you can email them here.

Luongo accepts rare honor from Canucks
Tuesday, 09.30.2008 / 4:16 PM PT / Features
|Roberto Luongo was named captain of the Vancouver Canucks, however due to league rules he cannot wear the 'C'.
Roberto Luongo 2007-08 season highlights
"(Luongo) asked me if he needed to work on his faceoff skills for times of special events at the arena,'' said Canucks coach Alain Vigneault.
"We might be a little outside of box here (naming Luongo captain), but there's only two things that, as captain, Roberto can't do and that's wear the 'C' on his jersey or take faceoffs,'' Vigneault said.
Luongo, who is in the third year of a four-year deal with the Canucks, was named captain Tuesday along with alternates Willie Mitchell, Mattias Ohlund and Ryan Kesler. For Vigneault, naming the three-time NHL All-Star team captain was an obvious choice.
"One characteristic of being a successful captain was being able to make your peers better, and Roberto is exceptional at that,'' Canucks GM Mike Gillis said. "He's a tremendously hard worker, diligent and cares very deeply about how he performs and how the team performs. On top of that, he wanted this title (captain).
"Over the summer, I talked to him about leadership and how this should become his team and, notwithstanding the position he plays, how he should be the person that leads this team. Alain came up with this idea on his own and the people we mentioned it to were thrilled with it. We're very pleased with the decision.''
By League rules, Luongo cannot wear the 'C,' but he can be named captain. Mitchell will deal with officials on a nightly basis and as the longest-serving Canuck. Ohlund, who is entering his 11th NHL season, will deal with any ceremonial aspects of the position such as faceoffs.
The 29-year-old Luongo, however, will be the voice of reason in the dressing room and, perhaps, during critical moments of each game.
Last season, Luongo finished 35-29-9 with a 2.38 goals-against average, .917 save percentage and six shutouts in 73 appearances. The Canucks' captaincy had been vacated by Markus Naslund, who signed with the New York Rangers in the offseason. Naslund had been the club's captain since 2000.
"I went back East for about 10 days and came back and gave this captaincy issue a lot of thought,'' Vigneault said. "I had a meeting with (Gillis) on the first day I came back and we discussed the captaincy and I talked about the different characteristics that all captains have. As I was going through my list, I noticed Mike had opened to a page in his book of notes and thoughts that had all the reasons I had written down as well.
"I then told him that, while I felt we had quite a few players on our team that possessed these characteristics to a certain degree, there was just one individual who had all these characteristics to a very high degree and that was Roberto. That's why I felt we should name him captain.''
"It began when we hired Ryan Walter (as assistant coach June 17),'' Gillis said. "He brought in all these books on leadership and as I looked through them, I learned that it didn't really matter if you worked for General Motors or were the general manager of the New York Yankees or the San Francisco 49ers of years' past. Great leaders exhibited consistent traits.''
Luongo is not the first goalie to be named captain of his team. Hall of Fame goalie Charlie Gardiner was captain of the Chicago Blackhawks when they won the Stanley Cup in 1934. Prior to Luongo, the last NHL goaltender who served as team captain was Bill Durnan of the Montreal Canadiens during the 1947-48 season.
"We're happy Roberto's the leader of this of this organization and the leader of this group of players,'' Vigneault said. "He's the right choice.''

I'd put off reading Altered Carbon for a few years, always reading something newer. Shame on me. This Philip K. Dick Award-winner is a brilliantly dark and gritty mixture of hardboiled detective fiction and cyberpunk that anyone looking for a story with a razor-sharp edge will love.
Let me get this out of the way: if you're not a "computer person," someone with more than a vague knowledge of computer networking technology, Brain Jack, by Brian Falkner, is probably not the book for you. If, however, you ARE such a person, Brain Jack will start off as the kind of thriller that you think you will love, but its ending, like so many other cyber-thrillers, feels rushed and absurd. Don't get me wrong--you'll enjoy reading it, but don't expect anything too deep from this book.
Sam is the generic hero of our story. He's 17; he's a computer prodigy; and he's going to save the country from itself. The world of Brain Jack is set only a few years into our future. Falkner does a good job of building a world that, initially, is entirely conceivable based on our present. Computer technology is even more prevalent, and its consequences all the more potent. Las Vegas has been the victim of a nuclear attack that has left it in ruins, and the rest of the country is decaying under strict martial conditions.
Sam Wilson is 14 years old, lives in New York City, and is a computer genius. It is not unusual for Sam and his friends to hack into computer systems and fool around. In fact, computer gaming and use has reached a whole new level in Brain Jack, by Brian Falkner. In Sam's world, being addicted to computer gaming has moved from the basement to gaming lounges. There are individuals who spend their entire days hooked to gaming systems and do nothing else. This book begs the question ...is this a possible future?
Sam likes to hack into systems for fun and to see if he can shut them down and then get out without his identity being detected. One day he decides to disrupt the structure of one of the country's largest telecommunications systems. He is able to move through the system undetected for a while using his computer hacking skills. However, unusual activity is noted by the web security team working for the large company. Sam realizes that he has been spotted and decides to get out quickly. There is a flurry of activity that follows as Sam scrambles to finish the job and remove any evidence that could link this security breach back to him.

Slaughterhouse-Five Chapter 9, Section 31 Summary
- Billy reads the magazine.
- Of course, he knows that Montana Wildhack is back on Tralfamadore raising their child.
- The magazine, however, claims that she has drowned in San Pedro Bay.
- The magazine ran this article because they wanted to use photographs from porn flicks that Montana made when she was a teenager.
- Seeing his interest, the clerks send Billy back to the rear of the shop, where he can watch a film with Montana Wildhack in it.
- He goes, but he doesn't really watch—instead, a clerk leads him over to "some really hot stuff they keep under the counter" (9.31.4): a picture of a woman trying to have sex with a Shetland pony between two Greek columns. (Just like Roland Weary's picture in Chapter 2, Section 22.)

Burgos wants Garcia-Martinez winner
Juan Carlos Burgos wants a title shot against Mikey Garcia or Ramon Martinez.
Juan Carlos Burgos wants a title shot against Mikey Garcia or Ramon Martinez.
Mike Alvarado and Ruslan Provodnikov could meet in Denver to fight for the WBO's junior welterweight belt on Oct. 19.
The Vanes Martirosyan-Demetrius Andrade fight could land on Manny Pacquiao-Brandon Rios card.
Once-beaten Mexican junior lightweight Juan Carlos Burgos will return to the ring on July 26 against Daulis Prescott, his first bout since a disputed split-draw with WBO beltholder Roman "Rocky" Martinez in January.
Manager Cameron Dunkin's plan for Mikey Garcia is to match him against Orlando Salido in the fall, while the hope for Brandon Rios is a fight with Juan Manuel Marquez.
A Sept. 1 defense for WBA middleweight titleholder Gennady Golovkin against Grzegorz Proksa may be close.

© Ed Kashi/VII Photo
Photojournalist Ed Kashi began keeping journals almost 20 years ago as a way of staying connected with his wife and collaborator, Julie Winokur, while he was on the road, and she stayed home to raise their two children and pursue her career as a writer. Kashi's journals began on paper, and then took the form of e-mails by 2000. Over the years, he recorded his private thoughts and observations from all over the world: Ukraine, the West Bank, Syria, Pakistan, India, China, Iraq, Nigeria, Vietnam and other places. To Winokur's dismay, Kashi recently published excerpts of his journals as a book titled Witness Number Eight: Photojournalisms (Joy of Giving Something, Inc., distributed by Nazraeli Press). The journal entries, and Winokur's impassioned afterword, offer a rare glimpse of a marriage and partnership (Kashi and Winokur have produced several documentary projects together, including Aging in America and their newest project, Bring it to the Table) strained by the career demands of photojournalism. These excerpts from the book are re-printed with permission.
From Ed Kashi's Journal:
5/15/94—Ma'ale Adumim, West Bank
Today has been a good but confusing day. This morning I photographed a circumcision in a settlement. I think I got some good pics. Then I went to a settlement next to Jericho and the new autonomous zone for Palestinians. Things finished up early, so I went into Jericho, saw my first official Palestinian policeman and soaked up the festive and surreal (especially for the Arabs) atmosphere of a town without Israeli Security forces.
My personal work here is done for now, and I'll leave with some confusion. Not having had enough time to get firmly planted in this project, but having seen enough to believe there is something interesting and worthwhile to capture.
By the way, tomorrow I have an assignment to photograph Hanan Ashrawi, the PLO spokesperson, for The [New York] Times Magazine. It will be very interesting, and I'll be anxious to talk about the settlements. Except only after I've got the pics! So, can you put up with my lifestyle and work? If so, I need to know. Will you work with me, if I work with you? Please think about this very crucial issue, 'cause I want to know … then we can know how to proceed from here …
Get my drift?
6/12/01—Danube Delta, Romania
My love,
I just came back from photographing a funeral in a little Delta village. The man who died was 61. He was walking his herd of cows by the river, collapsed from a heart attack and fell into the surf. He wasn't found for two days. The funeral was very moving for me. Once again, I was heaving with tears and emotions. The scene was so beautiful, with his body in an open casket, candles lit around the periphery of the box, with his family and many members of this small fishing village around. The priest, a Russian Orthodox, prayed and sang, while the people obeyed his commands, crossing themselves at the right moments, approaching the coffin in waves and indulging in the proper mood. Everyone was present, from little children to elders. I broke down in the church, thinking of how beautifully this man's death was being witnessed. The tenderness, ritual and attention to detail was moving (all the pall bearers had cellophane wrapped new shirts pinned to them as an alm from the family). It all made me think how hard we humans try to recognize and respect the possibility of a spiritual world, and even if we are deluding ourselves and a human death is really no different than a dead seagull's unwitnessed passing in the lonely shores of some far-off island, we at least try to create a memory and belief that these acts will make sense and give meaning to it all. It also made me think of my mortality and that it feels too close. In the end, I made some strong images, which helped lift my spirits that maybe something meaningful is being created by all this time away from my family.
6/18/06—Nigerian Prison Journal
Editor's note: On June 16, 2006, Kashi and his fixer, Elias Courson, were arrested at gunpoint while photographing an oil flow station on the Niger Delta. Kashi recounted the ordeal in detail on paper during his detention. At first, he berated himself for taking a risk to photograph an off-limits oil installation he already had good pictures of from a previous trip. For two days, Kashi expressed his annoyance and frustration over his detention at a military outpost, and his impatience to get back to work. When he and Courson were suddenly loaded into a military helicopter on the afternoon of June 18 and taken to a regional office of the State Security Services (SSS), Kashi's mood changed quickly. We pick up his account after he and Courson had been handed over to the SSS.
What was so hard throughout this ordeal was the not knowing. The way we were still being held. The fear of no due process, no logic translated into very dark thoughts. Until now, I was anxious and angry. Fear had taken over now, and I was shaken and feeling desperate.
The next morning, as people shuffled into the building, we were told to move immediately. But before that happened, a guard from the night came in and said, "Let us pray now for you." I couldn't believe what was happening. Were these our last rites???
They gathered all our belongings. Panic returned, as we were crammed into the back of a dusty station wagon with three goons. My chest grew tight, and my breath became harder to draw. The heat of the day became stifling. I was looking for any hopeful signs. I asked the man in front of me to, please sir, open the window a bit. When he complied, I took that as a hopeful sign. Then Elias drew near to me and whispered, "This is death." I was beyond my wits, formulating in my mind all the possible scenarios and worrying I would never see you or the kids again. When he asked where we were being taken, they just looked off in the distance and nodded their heads with disdain. I clutched my water bottle, having not eaten for the past 24 hours. I was not hungry anyway. After two hours of agony and deep breathing, we arrived in Port Harcourt, the capital and the headquarters of the SSS. Fear permeated the air, and, in the waiting area they stuck us in, I finally broke down in tears. I pleaded gently with the man to explain what was going on and what was going to happen. That I just wanted to see my family and go home. I just wanted to be free and would leave Nigeria immediately. I also said that I feared being sick and that my heart was beginning to hurt me. This was all true, but I played it up hoping to appeal to some aspect of their humanity.
We were finally brought up to an office, where our possessions were meticulously logged in, and, once all was settled, the goons from Yenagoa were allowed to leave. Now we were in the hands of a new group of men, but this was the headquarters. I broke down again when a gentle mannered man in a green suit came in. He looked at me with pity and reassured me that everything would be fine. Just relax. No problem. I have come to learn that when people say no problem, you must worry. Anyway, he turned out to be correct, and, within an hour, we were taken to see the director of the SSS. He was a Yoruba man, dignified and in one of the long flowing gowns they wear. He informed us that we would be released and lectured us on how to work properly. Within an hour, Von [Dimieari Von Kemedi, main Delta contact] and Oronto [Douglas, human rights attorney] and a group of people came to take us away. Von was dressed in a fancy suit to project importance. We hugged, and it was amazing. But then you called Oronto, and he handed the phone to me. As we were talking, the director came in and saw this and became livid. He immediately grabbed the phone and confiscated it from Oronto and dressed down the agent present in the room. Apparently no visitor is allowed to use cell phones in this building. Oronto followed behind him and rescued his phone. It was dramatic, and all I could think was—this is a setback! But no … we were gone within ten minutes, and then I called you from the car.
It was over, and I could taste freedom again among Nigerian friends who had proven their commitment and goodness. For them, this was a human rights issue and further emboldened me in my understanding of what is at stake here and why my work must continue.
4/13/09—Aleppo, Syria
This trip is filled with roiling dreams of fleeting images, disconnected but rich, indecipherable but powerful. My mind is tired but working hard. My soul is restless and searching for some kind of peace. My heart hurts, whether from my stomach or by some fruitless search for peace in it. I awake each morning from my busy night of dreaming, trying to make sense of what the day holds and how to approach it positively. Today in Aleppo, it's a brilliant, crisp, sunny day, after a night of thunder and rain.
Suspended isolation reflects the state I occupy, where I'm always coming and going from home. Home has become a base for me, so when I leave I take time to separate … although I never entirely do. Then upon reentry, I reconnect, yet much of the time I'm already thinking about where and when I'm going again. This constant state of flux creates this sense of being suspended between worlds and always feeling isolated on some level, since I can't ever get grounded or fully connected either at home or on the road. One of the issues at home is how distracted everyone is, whether from your work or the digital gadgets and friends of the kids. And of course, you all must live your own lives, and so, you are not in sync with my rhythms and moods.
From Julie Winokur's Reflections:
The following text by Julie Winokur, written in 2011, appears in Witness Number Eight: Photojournalisms after the last included journal entry by Kashi, which he wrote in Vietnam on July 13, 2010. The essay has been edited for space.
To be frank, I've had ambivalent feelings about these journals. While they are intended to be a bridge between our parallel lives, for me they represent a chasm …
… When Ed asked me to write something for the book, I told him I was afraid to express my feelings because it might insult him and make me sound bitter. He insisted …
On the one hand, I admire Ed's humanity and perception. I am inspired by his commitment to important work … On the other hand, the journals were gnawing reminders of the rich life he was living all these years, while I was desperately trying to catch my breath, raising two children while building my own career, caring for my ailing father while managing our home and our studio. As he waxed poetic about the world, I felt like I was drowning. There was nothing romantic about my circumstance, and I was afraid I had become some abstract ideal, conveniently positioned to unlock his greater existentialism while I exhausted every ounce of energy I had keeping the 'shared' part of our lives on track.
To be the one who stays home … Frustration becomes a permanent state, a feeling so familiar that my face is creased with its persistence …
Then I think of how much he has missed. The birthdays and Valentine's Days and Halloweens. The first bike ride, the lost tooth, the revelation of the first kiss. These are the monumental events that I have had the privilege
to share …
I never wanted to ask Ed to stop traveling. I wanted him to come to the conclusion himself—because he missed being present for the kids or he recognized that home was where he belonged or the allure of foreign countries paled next to the depth of what he and I share … Ed's identity, his entire being, is wrapped up in being a photojournalist. Truth be known, I didn't want to suffer the miserable soul who would be around the house if he ever abandoned his dreams.
The saving grace is that Ed is 200 percent present when he is home. He gives an inordinate amount of his energy and enthusiasm to family life, and he carries a huge load of the responsibility of day-to-day life … It's not surprising when he texts from Syria to ask if the chimney cleaners have come to the house yet, or he e-mails from Nigeria to remind me of our daughter's dentist appointment that day. His proclivity for detail is epic … It helps him feel grounded when the ground is constantly shifting beneath his feet.
From the time the children were very young, I made little of their father's coming and goings. I never wanted them to feel the loss of his presence … or worse yet, a sense of abandonment … Even though my husband was in Pakistan or Syria or some shithole I couldn't locate on a map, a couple of weeks of single parenting seemed perfectly normal. But week three would arrive, and the inevitable meltdown hit. The exhaustion and the feeling of suffocation took over … The toughest stretches were during Ed's visits to Iraq, and his detainment in Nigeria … I don't allow myself to imagine terrible outcomes for Ed. Neither of us could live this life if fear were part of the equation. I send him out the door with a kiss and a hug, but rarely a goodbye. I'm superstitious that way. Occasionally, the possibility that Ed has played the odds one too many times and might not come home is palpable.
The life we've chosen would not appeal to most people. As time goes on, Ed is home less and less … Most photojournalists are either single, or without children. The rest are in varying stages of divorce … Now our children are growing up, and, in a few years, they'll leave home. Together we fantasize about a second honeymoon, a life where we can travel together again and collaborate more fully, like we did in our early years together. Ed has brought me the world through his journals. I look forward to bringing our parallel lives together so we can share the experiences rather than the reflections.
Photojournalisms is now available as an app through the Apple iTunes store. Kashi and Winokur will present the seminar "How to Evolve Across Media Platforms" at the PhotoPlus Expo in October.

Mumbai, Dec 9 - Bollywood's export to Hollywood, Mallika Sherawat, is excited about starting work on her next Hindi film "Kismat Love Paisa Dilli", which has her playing a Haryanvi girl for the first time.
The actress, who was born in Rohtak to a Jat family, is back from Los Angeles to shoot for the film, opposite Vivek Oberoi.
"Being a part of the movie means a lot to me. For the first time, I am playing a north Indian character, a Haryanvi," the actress said on arrival at Mumbai airport Thursday.
The "Murder" girl was happy to see that members of the cast and crew of the film had come to receive her.
"My entire cast is here. What better welcome than this. It's such a pleasant surprise. I had never imagined that I will get such a surprise," said Mallika who recently featured in a Hollywood film titled "Politics Of Love".
Reportedly, Mallika wants producer Sanjay Khanduri to wrap up the shoot in three months as she has commitments in Hollywood. Her last Bollywood film was "Double Dhamaal". (IANS)

It was a bittersweet moment at Roanoke's Transitional Living Center.
Total Action for Progress is closing the program after 25 years, and Thursday afternoon residents, staff and supporters gathered to say farewell.
Providing shelter, food and services for the homeless, the center has helped more than 5000 people make a fresh start.
Cathy Bittler is a resident who will leave the center on Friday. "To have that many people who have struggled and been helped in this one facility," Bittler said, "it kind of brings into focus exactly how big the problem is."
A shift in federal funding forced TAP to close the center, but leaders say their work with the homeless will continue, focusing on programs that offer the promise of permanent housing to individuals and families who need shelter.

I�m writing in response to Cheryl Teverow�s May 13 letter (�Focus more on Providence�s woes�), in which she accuses the media of letting Mayor Angel Taveras off the hook by not reporting the �true facts� in Providence.
Since Teverow misrepresented the facts, it is no surprise she failed to mention her political leanings (she hosted a house party for General Treasurer Gina Raimondo, an opponent of the mayor in the Democratic gubernatorial race).
I�m not ashamed to say I support Angel and I volunteer for his campaign. The facts are, under his leadership:
� Providence is paving 60 miles of road in just two years � starting with paving the worst roads first.
� Crime in Providence is down 20 percent from last year and is at its lowest level in decades.
� Commercial tax rates � the highest in the nation when the mayor took office � have been frozen since 2012. As a result, Providence is no longer at the top of this list.
Mayor Taveras is leaving Providence much stronger than he found it. When he took office, Providence was on the verge of bankruptcy. When he asked residents to do more with less, he cut his own pay because he believed government should lead by example. Today, Providence has a balanced budget and has gone from a deficit to a surplus.
The only way the treasurer can win this race is to convince Rhode Islanders none of this happened. It�s the oldest trick in the book � but it doesn�t make it true.

Download the full survey results paper (pdf) [1]
In late 2010, we invited 68 companies to participate in a 27-question survey designed to gather key quantitative data, identify trends, and gauge current activities in low-carbon business innovation. Thirty-five companies, ranging in size from $600 million to $285 billion in annual revenues and with a median annual R&D expenditure of $575 million, completed the online questionnaire [3]; the survey questions for the electric power [4] and banking/financial services [5] sectors were slightly different, to capture the unique characteristics of innovation and technology adoption in those sectors.
The survey's principal objectives were to gather key quantitative information and gauge business strategies for low-carbon innovation activities, with a particular focus on how companies perceive the associated risks and uncertainties. It is one element of a broader Center study on the most effective methods used by companies today to develop and bring low-carbon technologies and solutions to market. The aggregated results will be combined with a set of four in-depth case studies in a report, Business of Innovating: Bringing Low-Carbon Solutions to Market, to be published in October 2011.
Highlights of Key Findings and Analysis
This survey highlights several interesting insights into corporate strategies for low-carbon innovation.

Psalm 86:6–7
Give ear, O LORD, to my prayer; and give heed to the voice of my supplications! In the day of my trouble I shall call upon You, for You will answer me.
R. A. Torrey, a former president of Moody Bible Institute in Chicago, once wrote ten powerful reasons why believers should pray:
In other words, the question should not be why should we pray, but how can we afford not to pray?
Just look at that list! It is not exhaustive, by the way. All one needs to do is look into a few of the Psalms to find that prayer should be the most vital part of a believer's life. Just as a wife cannot have a good relationship with her husband without speaking, so also a believer cannot have a good relationship with God if there is no communication. Prayer is how we talk to God, and His Word is how He speaks to us.
It baffles me how shallow our view of prayer has become in the church today. Think about our own perspective: when there is a crisis with a family member — a child is rushed to ICU; your father has a heart attack; your sibling is experiencing depression — what is the first thing that believers often say in these circumstances? "Well, I guess all I can do now is pray."
I can't tell you how many times I've heard that in these past few years; I've said it myself. I don't know where this "last-resort" idea comes from, but it is terribly wrong.
Prayer isn't the last thing — it's the best thing that you and I could ever do for anyone.
He's listening...are you praying?
1 Peter 2:9
But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for God's own possession.
John 16:33
"These things I have spoken to you, so that in Me you may have peace. In the world you have tribulation, but take courage; I have overcome the world."
Romans 6:1–2
What shall we say then? Are we to continue in sin so that grace may increase? May it never be! How shall we who died to sin still live in it?
James 3:8–10
But no one can tame the tongue; it is a restless evil and full of deadly poison. With it we bless our Lord and Father, and with it we curse men, who have been made in the likeness of God; from the same mouth come both blessing and cursing. My brethren, these things ought not to be this way.

I was getting off the freeway on Monday, when I saw a bumper sticker in the back window of the vehicle in front of me. It featured a picture of California State Senator Dianne Feinstein, with a dog muzzle over her mouth, and the words, "Muzzle Feinstein."
The message isn't subtle, and it created a visceral reaction in me. It is typical of the kind of message aimed at women by those who feel we are threatening their male privilege. It's insulting. It's dehumanizing. It's bullying.
It doesn't matter what the women want or how much logic may be behind their arguments. These men don't feel they need to respond with logic or reasoning. They don't feel the need to make their case or to show weakness in the case of the women. No, their answer is to use their physical strength to silence us.
It is frightening to see such a thing in the United States. More so in California, which is generally considered to be one of the more progressive states. Although, I must admit, we are losing ground in that area, as evidenced by the passage of Proposition 8. Although that ban on same-gender marriage was recently overturned by the U.S. Supreme Court, there are still many in this state who are up in arms about that decision.
This silencing of women is something that has been going on for a long time. It wasn't that long ago (less than 100 years ago, less than a lifetime for some), that women in this country had no right to vote in elections. Women are still under-represented in top jobs in business and government, and women still earn less than men doing the same job.
Women continue to be undervalued, underpaid, bullied, and silenced.
Just this week, the Women of the Wall arrived at the Kotel for their monthly prayer service, and were met by crowds of ultra-Orthodox Jews who tried to silence them. Some blew whistles to try to drown them out.
What were these women doing that was so objectionable? They were trying to pray traditional Jewish prayers in the only Jewish country in the world, at the site where Jews have yearned to pray since the last destruction of the Temple almost 2,000 years ago.
These women were not breaking halacha (Jewish law), they were not breaking Israeli law, they were not attempting (and never have) to stop anyone else from praying in the manner they wish, they were not even trying to pray in a mixed group of men and women. Yet bullies showed up with whistles to silence them.
Because male privilege believes bullying is an appropriate response to threats to its power. Because religious privilege believes bullying is an appropriate response to those who sincerely hold beliefs other than its beliefs. Because so many have been accustomed, so long, to seeing women bend, compromise, and acquiesce to the demand for them to be silent.
But these tactics will not work. No more than Senator Feinstein will be silenced by the bullying of a bumper sticker will the Women of the Wall be silenced by the bullying of those with whistles.
Male privilege feels threatened because it is not only being threatened, it is being weakened. In time, it will be overthrown. Not because women want to replace it with female privilege. We don't. All we want is to be heard, and to be recognized as equal partners. And we will get it. It's just a matter of time.

FDA Allows Marketing of NephroCheck »
"Today the U.S. Food and Drug Administration allowed marketing of the NephroCheck test, a first-of-a-kind laboratory test to help determine if certain critically ill hospitalized patients are at risk of developing moderate to severe acute kidney i"...
- For the treatment of patients with hypokalemia with or without metabolic alkalosis, in digitalis intoxication, and in patients with hypokalemic familial periodic paralysis. If hypokalemia is the result of diuretic therapy, consideration should be given to the use of a lower dose of diuretic, which may be sufficient without leading to hypokalemia.
- For the prevention of hypokalemia in patients who would be at particular risk if hypokalemia were to develop, e.g., digitalized patients or patients with significant cardiac arrhythmias.
The use of potassium salts in patients receiving diuretics for uncomplicated essential hypertension is often unnecessary when such patients have a normal dietary pattern, and when low doses of the diuretic are used. Serum potassium should be checked periodically, however, and, if hypokalemia occurs, dietary supplementation with potassium-containing foods may be adequate to control milder cases. In more severe cases, and if dose adjustment of the diuretic is ineffective or unwarranted, supplementation with potassium salts may be indicated.
The usual dietary potassium intake by the average adult is 50 to 100 mEq per day. Potassium depletion sufficient to cause hypokalemia usually requires the loss of 200 or more mEq of potassium from the total body store.
Dosage must be adjusted to the individual needs of each patient. The dose for the prevention of hypokalemia is typically in the range of 20 mEq per day. Doses of 40-100 mEq per day or more are used for the treatment of potassium depletion. Dosage should be divided if more than 20 mEq per day is given such that no more than 20 mEq is given in a single dose. The dose should be taken after a meal.
K-LOR (potassium chloride) 20 mEq powder provides 20 mEq of potassium chloride.
Each 20 mEq (one K-LOR (potassium chloride) 20 mEq packet) of potassium should be dissolved in at least 4 oz (approximately 1/2 glassful) cold water or juice. This preparation, like other potassium supplements, must be properly diluted to avoid the possibility of gastrointestinal irritation.
K-LOR 20 mEq (Potassium Chloride for Oral Solution, USP) is supplied in cartons of 30 packets (NDC 0074-3611-01) and in cartons of 100 packets (NDC 0074-3611-02). Each packet contains potassium, 20 mEq, and chloride, 20 mEq, provided by potassium chloride, 1.5 g.
