Chris Columbus joins the Gremlins reboot
The writer of the original Gremlins joins the new movie as a producer...
Well, it looks as if Warner Bros is serious this time. For many years, there's been talk of a Gremlins reboot/remake/belated sequel, but there finally seems to be some real progress being made.
We already knew that Seth Grahame-Smith and David Katzenberg were involved with the new Gremlins film. But The Tracking Board now reports that Chris Columbus has jumped aboard the new Gremlins as a producer. Columbus penned the screenplay for the first film, and he's also set to produce the belated Goonies sequel that's also in the works. Steven Spielberg is also said to be involved in both projects.
The Tracking Board suggests that the new Gremlins is a remake, although we're not 100% sure that's the case. It does seem clear that the director of the first two films, Joe Dante, is not involved, at least not at the moment.
More news on Gremlins 3 - or whatever it ends up being called - as we hear it.

Jolena Grande, a licensed funeral director, embalmer, and crematory manager, began her funeral service career in 1989 working for a large mortuary/cemetery combination operation in Southern California. With more than 25 years of professional practice, she shares her insights and experiences in an enjoyable and often humorous way with students seeking a career path as a funeral service practitioner.

Nuclear talks with Iran kick off in Vienna
Previous nuclear negotiations between Iran and representatives from the six world powers in Geneva (Photo: US Department of State)
Negotiations between Iran and six world powers on the Islamic Republic's contentious nuclear programme are beginning in Vienna this morning.
This latest round of talks is meant to build on the progress made last November when Iran said it would reduce uranium enrichment activities - the process needed to make a nuclear bomb - in return for sanctions relief.
But the Iranian government has downplayed any chances of success.
Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei told supporters in Tehran on Monday that he was not "optimistic" about the talks, saying they would "not lead anywhere".
Iran's Foreign Minister Mohammed Zarif said he would not give up the "nation's rights and interests", which is interpreted by some commentators as meaning the right to enrich.
Speaking at a conference of American Jewish leaders, Prime Minister Netanyahu said Iran had made "zero" compromise on its nuclear programme while receiving huge economic and business concessions in return.
British Ambassador to Israel Matthew Gould said: "The UK and Israel share the same unshakeable goal of preventing Iran from building a nuclear weapon. We are not naïve and, although we urge all sides to negotiate in good faith, we are not relying on good words, smiles or promises."

Bisquert, MM; Sanchez, JM; Caselles, V (2011). Fire danger estimation from MODIS Enhanced Vegetation Index data: application to Galicia region (north-west Spain). INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF WILDLAND FIRE, 20(3), 465-473.
AbstractGalicia, in north-west Spain, is a region especially affected by devastating forest fires. The development of a fire danger prediction model adapted to this particular region is required. In this paper, we focus on changes in the condition of vegetation as an indicator of fire danger. The potential of the Enhanced Vegetation Index (EVI) together with period-of-year to monitor vegetation changes in Galicia is shown. The Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS), onboard the Terra satellite, was chosen for this study. A 6-year dataset of EVI images, from the product MOD13Q1 (16-day composites), together with fire data in a 10 x 10-km grid basis, were used. Logistic regression was used to assess the relationship between the percentage of fire activity and EVI variations together with period-of-year. The results show the ability of the model obtained to discriminate different levels of fire occurrence danger, with an estimation error of similar to 5%. This remote sensing technique may contribute to improving the efficiency of the currently used fire prevention systems.

- "I don't know who Ray is, but his gun is rip!"
- ―Tank Dempsey
Obtaining the Ray GunEdit
The Ray Gun is found in the Mystery Box (also known as the Random Weapon Box). Ray Guns are given out by chance from the Mystery Box. Using the box costs 950 points. It is most often given out to players who use the Box frequently or to players who use the Box rarely. Due to it being a pistol, many people believe this weapon to be semi-automatic. However, holding down the fire button shows that it is in fact fully automatic, meaning it can be very efficient at killing zombies.
The Ray Gun in Call of Duty: Black Ops can only be obtained in the Mystery Box. As in World at War, Ray Guns are given out by chance. It is still a fully automatic weapon. It is also given out in Black Ops 2. However, through a persistent upgrade a lower ranked/ new person can obtain a ray gun off the wall when buying said gun and ammo for it a few times. Its price is higher than the Mystery Box, however its price makes up for hitting the box continuously trying to obtain it from there.
AppearanceEditThe Ray Gun is crimson in color, and some parts of it are cyan and white. It has some meters on it, and it contains something that appears to be some sort of Red Dot Sight system. Although one exception to this is that it's not a Red Dot, it's a color changing crosshair with the crosshairs meeting in the middle. At the back of the gun, it appears to have a cog-shaped object with three rectangular-shaped bars atop it.
In Call of Duty: Black Ops, the Ray Gun appears exactly the same, though it is more shiny. It uses the same sighting system.
Pack-a-Punched VariantEdit
Call of Duty: World at WarEditThe Pack-a-Punched version of the Ray Gun is called "Porter's X2 Ray Gun" and is chrome with engravings, the "ray" is also turned red instead of the usual green. It gains a larger magazine of 40 rounds and deals 2000 damage instead of 1000. It also has the strange liquid (believed to be Element 115) at the front of the top of the gun that the Wunderwaffe DG-2 has.
Call of Duty: Black OpsEdit
When Pack-a-Punched in Call of Duty: Black Ops it is still the "Porter's X2 Ray Gun" and retains 40 shots and the same amount of damage. The laser sight will also change color upon upgrading. On Kino Der Toten, Five, Shi no Numa, Der Riese, Die Rise, Tranzit, Town, and Farm, you can't buy PhD Flopper, so be careful... there is still splash damage. Pack a Punching will decrease the splash damage towards the player.
Trivia Edit
- The successor to the Ray Gun was added in Call of Duty: Black Ops II through the Vengeance DLC, the gun is know as the Ray Gun Mark II.
- The Ray Gun is not available for the Wii in Call of Duty: World at War. However, it is available on the Wii version of Call of Duty: Black Ops.
- On the PC version of the game, if the player changes the amount of gravity using the command console, you can jump and shoot the Ray Gun at the ground, and it will push you up into the air.
- The Ray Gun can be found in the Campaign level "Little Resistance" on World at War.
- The Pack-A-Punched Ray Gun is one of the few Pack-A-Punched weapons that is a different version of the gun and not an upgrade to it, being Porter's version of it.
- In Kino der toten, when Richtoffen reloads the ray gun he says "do you like my giant green balls?!". An interesting quote because any sexual jokes are very rare in zombies.

LANGHORNE, PA, March 8, 2012 — St. Mary Medical Center has received the Get With The Guidelines®–Heart Failure Gold Quality Achievement Award from the American Heart Association. The recognition signifies that St. Mary has reached an aggressive goal of treating heart-failure patients with compliance to core standard levels of care as outlined by the American Heart Association/American College of Cardiology secondary prevention guidelines for heart-failure patients for a period of at least 24 months.
Get With The Guidelines is a quality improvement initiative that promotes evidence-based guidelines and procedures in caring for heart-failure patients with the goal of preventing future hospitalizations, reducing disability, and prolonging and improving quality of life.
As part of the Guidelines protocols, heart-failure patients are started on aggressive risk-reduction therapies such as cholesterol-lowering drugs, beta-blockers, ACE inhibitors, aspirin, diuretics and anticoagulants while in the hospital. They also receive a referral for cardiac rehabilitation before being discharged.
St. Mary also has added additional protocols for better management of heart failure. A transitional nurse is dedicated to interacting with and educating patients with heart failure to help better manage their disease and to follow up with their home healthcare needs. Continuing updates on the guidelines, core measures and disease-specific medications in treating heart-failure patients also are routinely provided to physicians and medical professionals at St. Mary.
"St. Mary Medical Center consistently is recognized nationally for its achievement in using evidence-based guidelines to provide the highest standards of quality care," says Dr. Richard Leshner, Chief of the Cardiovascular Section at St. Mary. "St. Mary has one of the region's most advanced and comprehensive heart programs, and provides advanced patient-centered care with a focus on quality, safety, and compassion. In our compliance with the evidence-based protocols of the Get With The Guidelines program, we ensure our patients are getting the right care when they need it."
The Get With The Guidelines–Heart Failure program helps to improve the quality of care provided to heart-failure patients, and ultimately to save lives.
According to the American Heart Association, about 5.7 million people suffer from heart failure. Statistics also show that, each year, 670,000 new cases are diagnosed and more than 277,000 people will die of heart failure.

Skinny Breakfast Pizza Melt
Pizza for breakfast? You bet, with this healthy, vegetarian breakfast melt! To make it skinny, I'm using one of those fabulous 100 calorie sandwich thins, egg whites, a little reduced-fat cheese and pizza sauce. Each pizza melt has 215 calories, 6 grams of fat, 5 grams of fiber and 6 Weight Watchers POINTS PLUS. It's so easy to assemble and ready in minutes. Here's to a breakfast the whole family will love!
Prep Time: 5 minutes
Cook Time: 4 minutes
2 egg whites
1 tablespoon onions or green onions, chopped
1 Oroweat Sandwich Thin or your favorite, see shopping tips
1 teaspoon reduced-fat butter
1½ tablespoons pizza sauce or marinara sauce
1 slice (¾ oz) Sargento Light Provolone cheese or your favorite light cheese, see shopping tips
1. Preheat Panini maker or George Foreman grill. This melt can also be cooked in a nonstick pan. See step #5 below.
2. Pour 2 egg whites into a custard cup or small bowl to create a round shape. Sprinkle in onions. Cover with a microwave-safe plate and cook in microwave for 1-2 minutes until cook through.
3. Spread the outside of the sandwich thin, both top and bottom, with ½ teaspoon of butter on each. Split open and spread the inside of the bottom slice with pizza sauce. On top of sauce place cooked eggs and top with 1 slice of cheese. Place remaining top piece of sandwich thin, butter side out.
4. To cook in Panini maker or George Foreman grill: Place in maker and cook for 3-4 minutes until melted and golden brown. Remove with a spatula as the cheese oozes out a bit while cooking. Remove any melted pieces on the Panini maker and add to plate. I love it that way!
5. To cook in pan on stove top: Be sure to coat a nonstick pan with cooking spray. Cook over medium heat for about 2-3 minutes until golden, turn over and continue to cook for another 2-3 minutes until cheese is melted and the sandwich thin is golden brown.
6. Serve with a fork and knife.
Makes 1 serving
Healthy Benefit
Pizza does not have to be junk food. This breakfast pizza melt has over 5 grams of fiber, thanks to using a sandwich thin, lean protein from the egg whites and reduced-fat cheese.
Shopping Tips
Oroweat Sandwich Thins can be found in most large supermarkets. One sandwich thin has 100 calories, 1g fat and 5g fiber. They come in several flavors with the same nutrition facts. Several brands are available so if you can't find Oroweat, use one of the others brands.
Sargento reduced-fat provolone cheese can be found in the cheese aisle of most supermarkets. Each slice is ¾ ounce. You can substitute with your favorite reduced-fat sliced cheese or shredded such as a mozzarella, Jarlsberg or Havarti.
Cooking Tip
If you're looking to make several melts at once, you can scramble the egg whites in a nonstick pan. Either coat the pan with cooking spray or melt about a teaspoon of reduced-fat butter in the pan first before adding the eggs to scramble.

Harris Teeter and CASA Remind Parents that Dinner Makes a Difference
Frequent Family Dinners Promote Healthy Behavior
Charlotte, NC - Harris Teeter is partnering with The National Center on Addiction and Substance Abuse (CASA) to promote Family Day – A Day to Eat Dinner with Your Children. Family Day, celebrated annually on the fourth Monday in September, is a national movement that promotes frequent family dinners as a way to make a difference in the lives of children.
Family Day is designed to remind parents that eating dinner as a family is an effective way to prevent substance abuse among children. Through the initiative, CASA encourages families to make dinners a part of their lives at least five times per week. The program was launched in 2001 after a series of CASA research reports showed that the more often children ate dinner with their families, the less likely they were to smoke, drink or use drugs.
For more information about Family Day, log onto www.CASAFamilyDay.org.
For recipes to make on Family Day or to view a list of Harris Teeter's chef prepared meals that can be purchased in-store, already hot and ready to serve, visit harristeeter.com.

NEW DELHI: Railway unions are likely to meet Mukul Roy next week for discussing possible ways to help Indian Railways recover costs which it incurs for fulfilling social obligations. The Indian government rolled back some of increases in railway fares that were announced in the budget last week after the vehement opposition on the issue by Trinamool Congress supremo Mamata Banerjee. The much-debated issue had forced the former railway minister Dinesh Trivedi to give resignation.
" We lose out about Rs 15,000 crore for fulfilling social purpose obligations every year. I believe the proposed fare hike by Mr Trivedi was justified, said M Raghavaiah, General Secretary, National Federation of Indian Railwaymen, an association representing employees of the organization. He added that the associations would be meeting the minister next week for addressing their concerns.

So much have been talked about Facebook lately. I recently saw this piece of article and would like to share with you guys. Enjoy!
Most people have a least a few dozen 'friends' on their Facebook list, but do we need them all? Here are ten types of Facebook friends you should say goodbye to.
10. The Old Classmate Whom You've Never Spoken To
He or she was your primary school classmate who sits at the other end of the classroom and never spoke more than four sentences to you the entire year.
This friend added you because you were tagged to another friend-of-a-friend's photo. After some initial chatter about a 'reunion' you've never spoken in the last half a year since.
*Geez. I have plenty of these. But it's good to follow up with old classmates who actually have made some marks in your life, one way or another. As long as they don't keep pestering me with invitations to play games, I am fine!
9. The No-updater
This friend had been on your Facebook list for more than a year and a half now, and you've never seen him or her update the page more than three or four times during the entire period.
Other than a generic profile picture, or – gasp – none at all, there are only a few other lines of similarly boring bits of information about this friend, like schools or workplace.
He or she never replies to wall posts, and never posts a message either. If you aren't using Facebook, then why are you on Facebook in the first place, Friend?
* Haha! I know a few friends who never update coz they are using Facebook merely to stalk people. Haha!
8. The Health Freak
Most likely a female, she counts every calorie she eats, and bemoans that life is going downhill the moment she couldn't resist temptation and swallowed a single M&M.
She also believes in reading her own health by studying what she poops, and posts all that information on her Facebook status on a daily basis.
Worse, she keeps sending messages telling everyone that almost everything you eat is bad for your health, and that you'll likely get cancer the moment you touch those Mars Bars.
While we all know that not everything we eat is good for us, we don't exactly need a constant reminder about that, thank you very much. And urgh, keep those poo analysis results to yourself. We don't need to know.
* Have not encounter such people yet. Well, I am a glutton goddess. I don't have such friends!
7. The New Parents
They've already uploaded 362 pictures of their newborn and are taking pictures every time the kid cries, coos, sleeps or gets changed – which really means all the time.
Worse, they start posting status updates of what their little tyke is doing every minute of the day, including those activities described above. Then they start using their baby's photo as their profile picture.
Unless you're really enthusiastic about babies or want to engage in a baby status war using your own kid's pictures and status updates, this is someone you can skip.
Most of us aren't interested to know how fantastic your baby is and how unique the kid is – a few updates are okay, but when it's happening all the time, delete.
*As much as I am happy for them, I think it's really annoying to keep seeing pictures of their babies updated on everyday basis. Usually, I would just hide such information from appearing from my news feed or ignore looking at them totally.
6. The 25-year-old Teenagers
These are the ones who flood their Facebook pages with every application possible, and fill in their entire profile page with glittery text.
Every other picture uploaded is of them trying on new clothes in some shopping centre dressing room, copying the latest Miley Cyrus style.
While they are certainly quite harmless, gaudy profiles and bimbo-esque updates aren't going to make the best impression of your social circle to others. Heed this warning especially if you have work or business contacts on Facebook.
* Haha! Does playing ALL games in FB counts?
5. The Overly Emos
We all understand that is' perfectly all right to post one of those "This is the most stressful day of my life!" status messages once in a while.
But if every message this friend posts are of the same nature, you're looking at an overly emo, probably permanently unhappy person.
Life is hard as it is and we're not exactly too very eager to be reminded that it is a drag or that the world is going to end.
* Yes! Be off with negative energy and emo people! We don't need such people in our lives!
4. The Bragger
Likely and ex-university classmate, he or she had quite a bit of success and is now living it up. That's good, until said friend wants to tell everyone about his or her achievements.
When you see status messages like "Just got another 6-month bonus! Woot!" or "What car should I buy with this huge commission I just got? I don't have a budget because I've got enough to pay for a house – in cash!", you know your friend had crossed the line.
You know what, Friend? We might reply with a congratulatory message or one of envy the first few times or so, but everyone's going to get tired of your bragging once this goes on for too long. Then you need to know that in actual fact, your Facebook friends don't really care.
* LOL!!! Luckily, I don't have such friends. Usually, I don't keep such people as friends. Thank God I can choose my friends!
3. The Spammer
Your friend "just invited you to challenge him or her in Bejeweled!". Your friend "is looking for part 8 of the Secret Map of Doom, do you have one?". Your friend is "asking you to join his or her clan in Mafia Wars!".
When we aren't playing games on Facebookl we have a reason. It's either
[a] we're too busy working (not like you, slacker!); or

2. The Stalker
The Digital age is all about instant communication though online interaction, and these friends are exactly that – except for the fact that they're a little too extreme.
Messages will usually start with "Hey how are you doing?" and should you be foolish enough to reply, a barrage of notes will follow.
"Hey, want to meet sometime?"
"What are you up to lately?"
"Seen that latest movie? Haha, I like it, do you?"
"Hey why aren't you answering me?"
"Haven't heard from you since 2 days ago, hey answer me!"
While we all enjoy being connected to our friends on Facebook, these people are part of the rare sub-species of humans who don't understand the meaning or have a need for alone time.
* There are such friends who stalk other friends and kept asking why a particular person is ignoring them. Well, please read the above… and also, if the person you are trying to contact is ignoring you, it's obvious he or she is doing it on purpose, so stop asking around if he or she still keep in touch with me.
1. The Ex
You got dumped few months ago, and now he or she is apparently having the time of her life.
The Ex is very happy with new-found love, or has found a new bunch of suitors and is posting updates about ever romantic date of hot encounter on Facebook.
Worse, there are plenty of pictures to accompany the status updates, and you can't help but flip through the photo galleries and stare at what was once yours.

The Military-Industrial Complex's Waning Political Influence
This excerpt originally appeared in U.S. News & World Report on November 29, 2012.
What's more, these are high paying jobs. In 2010, when the average worker in the United States earned $44,400 in wages and benefits, the average within the aerospace and defense industry was $80,100, according to a study by the consulting firm Deloitte. And 80 percent of that industry's revenue comes from the government. "This, in a nutshell," explains Veronique de Rugy in the January 2013 issue of Reason magazine, "is why it's so hard to cut government spending in general and military spending in particular." "Nearly everyone knows someone who gets paid by the Pentagon."

It's official; George W Bush is a war criminal.
In what is the first ever conviction of its kind anywhere in the world,
the former US President and seven key members of his administration were
yesterday (Fri) found guilty of war crimes.
Bush, Dick Cheney, Donald Rumsfeld and their legal advisers Alberto Gonzales,
David Addington, William Haynes, Jay Bybee and John Yoo were tried in
absentia in Malaysia.The trial held in Kuala Lumpur heard harrowing witness accounts from victims of torture who suffered at the hands of US soldiers and contractors in Iraq and
Afghanistan.They included testimony from British man Moazzam Begg, an ex-Guantanamo detainee and Iraqi woman Jameelah Abbas Hameedi who was tortured in the notorious Abu Ghraib
prison.At the end of the week-long hearing, the five-panel tribunal unanimously delivered guilty verdicts against Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld and their key legal advisors who were all
convicted as war criminals for torture and cruel, inhumane and
degrading treatment.Full transcripts of the charges, witness statements and other relevant material will now be sent to the Chief Prosecutor of the International Criminal Court, as
well as the United Nations and the Security Council.Read in entirety here; http://www.foreignpolicyjournal.com/2012/05/12/bush-convicted-of-war-crimes-in-absentia/

I'm no fan of Bush but I'm less of a fan of Malaysia. So he was convicted by a extremely conservative Muslim country, who have harboured known terrorists and whose law courts, while not entirely Sharia, are close enough. Perfectly sound conviction.

Zanu-PF succession battle: Mugabe still the wild card
The battle for control of Zanu-PF is raging but, whatever gains the factions make, the president remains the key player in the fight.
The battle for control of Zanu-PF is raging but, whatever gains the factions make, the president remains the key player in the fight.
Secretary for administration Didymus Mutasa's failing health would prevent him from actively pursuing promotion at Zanu-PF's elective congress.
The rival Zanu-PF members will know their fate as soon as the final provincial elections are over.
Malawi's President Joyce Banda has expressed how she's carrying the expectations of all the women in the region.
Although Zimbabwean President Robert Mugabe's grip on power at the Zanu-PF people's conference is a foregone conclusion uncertainty continues to grow.
Zanu-PF leader Robert Mugabe has been pegged back in a week of setbacks, but is preparing to reverse his opponents' gains in Parliament.
Former Zimbabwe finance minister Simba Makoni has said there will be no backlash against veteran President Robert Mugabe if he topples him at this month's general election. "President Mugabe is someone who has a very special place in our history," Makoni said in an interview, ruling out retribution against Mugabe.
Zimbabwe President Robert Mugabe's deputy, Joyce Mujuru, has thrown her weight behind the veteran ruler's bid for a sixth term, dispelling speculation linking her to Mugabe's rival, Simba Makoni. Mujuru was quoted by the state-owned Herald newspaper on Monday as saying: "Firstly, you should vote for comrade Mugabe".
Zimbabwe's ruling party on Wednesday formally expelled a former ally of President Robert Mugabe for launching a challenge to the veteran leader in next month's elections, a Zanu-PF official said. Veterans of the country's liberation war have branded former finance minister Simba Makoni a traitor after he entered the race on Tuesday.
Veterans of Zimbabwe's liberation war warned a former ally of President Robert Mugabe who will run against him in next month's elections that he was a traitor, government newspapers reported on Wednesday. Former finance minister Simba Makoni, a senior member of the ruling Zanu-PF, entered the presidential race on Tuesday.
Robert Mugabe's vice-president has endorsed the veteran Zimbabwean leader's candidature for presidential elections next year and has suggested he should even rule until he dies, a report said on Sunday. Joseph Msika said no-one was so far challenging Mugabe's bid to seek a sixth consecutive term and urged supporters to endorse him at a ruling party congress.
An independent Zimbabwe newspaper on Friday claimed that President Robert Mugabe has named four potential successors, and they do not include Vice-President Joyce Mujuru. The Zimbabwe Independent claimed Mugabe said that the four serious candidates to succeed him were Emmerson Mnangagwa, Sydney Sekeramayi, John Nkomo and Simba Makoni.
The ruling party in Zimbabwe has agreed to enforce age limits for its powerful youth wing in what analysts say may be a move to rein in over-ambitious leaders embroiled in the Zanu-PF's messy succession debate, it emerged on Monday. Leaders of Zanu-PF's youth wing must now not be older than 30 years, according to a report in Herald newspaper.

Watch BP oil spill live-feed, live-stream video here. Also, you can get the latest info on the spill and the clean up efforts below.
Outraged citizens want to see it with their own eyes—the catastrophe that caused thousands of gallons of oil to spew deep into the Gulf of Mexico. While the exact cause is still being investigated, thousands of volunteers and professionals are scrambling to minimize the potential for environmental damage.
According to reports, Congressman Ed Markey of Massachusetts was leading the charge to get BP to make the feed public. BP relented, and made the feed available on their website, which shows massive amounts of oil gushing out of the damaged well. The company claims a tube stretching a mile beneath the surface is catching most of the oil, but admits that some is still entering the environment.
Concerned Americans, and curious minds across the world can watch the BP oil spill live-feed video below. Unexpected traffic has caused the video to be unreliable. As of 1:30PM Tuesday it is estimated that hundreds of thousands of people have tried to access the feed.
Regardless, the Massachusetts lawmaker felt it was a major step in helping to keep the public informed about the calamity:
"This is a victory for transparency and open access to information, and for the ongoing efforts to understand the magnitude of this unfolding disaster and how best to solve it. Now the world can see what is happening 5,000 feet beneath the ocean floor, without having to wait hours before knowing what BP has either done or failed to do…I am pleased to have been able to help secure this result for the public."
This effort is a step in the right direction, especially considering the public outcry following the event itself.

Stocks Stall as Markets Hit a Ceiling
Stocks are taking up the baton from yesterday's fade. The Dow is down more than 70 points and this year's highs are receding a bit further. If the bulls are going to push stocks to new highs, they better get a move on.
Stocks have been rallying all summer, but yesterday's late fade may have been an omen.
"It looked like an outside reversal day often seen when a market prepares to change direction," Art Cashin, who runs UBS's NYSE floor operations, wrote in his daily note. "That will put traders on alert."
The Dow is down 76 points at 13127, the S&P 500 is down 6 at 1407, and the Nasdaq Comp is down 10 at 3057. Those aren't huge drops by any stretch, and indeed one positive headline out of Europe could easily drive stocks over those years highs. But the fact is the Dow and S&P 500 have been flirting with year highs for going on two weeks now, and the marks have proven stubborn resistance.
The capital markets, here and overseas, have been riding a "whatever it takes" wave, sparked by the ECB's Mario Draghi (the Fed has been in there, too, although it seems like its message has been "whatever it takes…but not yet.")
We get the FOMC minutes at 2 p.m. The market will as always try to arrange the tea leaves in a pattern that spells out "QE3," and will add another shot of metaphoric red bull to a market that's been bumping up against a 2012 ceiling.
The summer saw an almost perfect alignment for the bulls: Draghi bought Europe time, the U.S. data has been at least decent (earnings were a dog, but never you mind that), and everything just sort of calmed down. The path of least resistance was higher.
The Dow and S&P 500 have been hovering just under their 2012 (and indeed multi-year) highs for going on two weeks now. But despite piercing them on an intraday basis, the indexes haven't been able to set new highs. One wonders how much time the bulls have left to pull off the feat.
This morning's weak Japanese exports data underlined a worry that's been hiding under the boardwalk of the market's endless summer: that the global economy remains weak. Tomorrow brings a critical purchasing managers' report.
"The summer rally appeared to run out of steam," Capital Economics wrote, "as the focus of the markets finally started to return to the persistent weakness of the economic data and risk of a renewed escalation of the crisis in the euro-zone."
The problem, Nomura strategist Bob Janjuah wrote in late July, is that the markets are still underestimating just how weak the global economy really is. "The growth weakness is driven by a shortfall in true end global demand, and in particular we still think the consensus is most off-target in its still too bullish growth expectations for the US and the EM/BRICs complex," he wrote.
With Angela Merkel back from her vacation, with Antonis Samaras flitting around European capitals trying to buy time for his beleaguered Greece, with the market waiting to see if Draghi can back up his bold talk, the endless summer seems to be, well, ending.

The Story Behind a Crash Survivor's Photo
By Rebecca Smith
Eugene Anthony Rah, a 46-year-old hip-hop concert producer and naturalized U.S. citizen, snapped this picture with his iPhone, minutes after he evacuated Asiana flight 214.
After the plane crash-landed, he said, the captain went on the loudspeaker and told everyone to get off the plane. The crew immediately went to work, opening emergency exits, deploying the inflatable slides and guiding passengers. By then, most people could smell smoke and got off quickly, except for those who were injured, said Mr. Rah, who splits his time between Seoul and Las Vegas, Nev.
One tiny woman, who he said is flight attendant Kim Ji-yeon, stood out to him, because she was helping the injured, "carrying people piggyback" who couldn't walk. Tears were streaming down her face, he said, as she helped clear the plane only minutes before flames engulfed the passenger cabin.
He copied her name off her uniform nametag, he said, because "she was a hero."
She's the woman farthest to the left in the photo above, he said.
Asiana said Ms. Kim, born in 1982, joined the company in 2007 after interning for a year, and received a service award from the company in 2010.
The airline said that among 12 cabin crew on the plane, seven fainted after the hard landing, while five helped guide passengers to exits — including Ms. Kim. Asiana also said the five crew members were the last people to exit the plane after helping to evacuate the 300 passengers and seven other cabin crew members.
Watch an interview with Eugene Anthony Rah who survived the crash of Asiana flight 214 at San Francisco International Airport:

Day 12 – Smile. Think Happy Thoughts
This one came from Tala. Last night before going to bed, she said, "Mommy, I should probably smile before going to bed so that I won't have bad dreams anymore!" And then, she had this beautiful and big smile that almost span from one side of her face to the other. Then, I asked her, "Why did you have to do that?" She replied, "Because I do not want to have any bad dreams anymore – and if I smile, the bad dreams will go away!"
I do not know where she got that from, but I was impressed!
One of the things successful people do at the end of the day is exactly what Tala said. These successful people think happy thoughts before hitting the sack, not necessarily smile but they think of happy thoughts. They say that whatever was the last five or ten minutes occupying our minds before bedtime, that will tremendously affect our sleep and then eventually will appear in our dreams as either good or bad, depending on the previous thoughts.
This is also true especially when you are about to take a test. I know when I was in highschool and college, I used to have this secret which I learned from the many "magical tricks" that Madam Josefina Bumatay (my 3rd grade teacher), taught me. She said that if I wanted to memorize everything from the book, I have to place the book under my pillow. As an obedient student I began the habit of doing that which even to these days I sometimes practice it, if I needed extra boost in my presentation. I think and think again of the words/presentation I needed to memorize before I go to bed and the next morning, I will have a good memory of what I read the night before.
This is also the reason why people say it is very effective to read the night prior to a major test – or even to use one of the most overly-used strategies in reading: skimming. Skimming works in the same way as I mentioned above. Because a person thinks about the test before bedtime, the retention rate will be very high. However, it is not to say that YOU have to skim in order to score well.
If you want to be successful, think about what you want every night before bedtime and you will be able to get it.
Or if you just want to simply have a peaceful rest, smile and think happy thoughts – just like what Tala did.

LHC sees its first ZZ event
Nov 11, 2010 2 comments
The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN in Geneva has produced its first pair of Z bosons, based on data released by the compact muon solenoid (CMS) collaboration. Seeing this first pair is an important step in the giant collider's hunt for the Higgs boson because the generation and analysis of many more such events could provide one of the key signatures of the elusive Higgs.
Believed to provide all particles with mass, the Higgs boson is the last missing piece of the Standard Model of particle physics. The LHC, designed to collide protons into one another at energies of up to 14 TeV, is expected to find the elusive boson – assuming that the Higgs does indeed exist.
Evidence for the Higgs will not come as a single observation. Instead, physicists must accumulate data related to the energy distribution of the particles that the Higgs decays into. One of the cleanest such decay signatures is the transformation of the Higgs into two Z bosons – particles that are one of the carriers of the weak nuclear force. The Z bosons then decay into pairs of heavy charged particles known as muons, which leave an unmistakable footprint in a detector such as CMS.
Layers of particle sensors
Now, the first such event at the LHC has been seen by CMS – one of the collider's two enormous general-purpose detectors. CMS consists of concentric layers of particle sensors placed inside and around the bore of a 4 T superconducting magnet. Any Z bosons produced by the proton–proton collisions at the centre of the bore are too short-lived to be detected by the surrounding instrumentation. However, the muons last for long enough to travel out from the collision point and traverse all of the detector's inner sensors. They then travel through a number of gas-filled layers revealing their trajectory via the ionization of this gas. Moving charged particles are bent by a magnetic field such that the curvature of the muons' paths reveals their momentum.
The CMS data, obtained in the early hours of 24 September, clearly reveal the tracks of four muons (see figure). And the masses of these muons, grouped into two pairs, result in values for the mass of the Z of just over 92 GeV, which is very close to the known Z mass. CMS collaboration member Tommaso Dorigo of the University of Padova in Italy is delighted with the result, describing it on his blog as "as beautiful as they get, or even more so".
No Higgs required
But Dorigo says that this result on its own provides no evidence that the Higgs boson exists. He points out that pairs of Z bosons can be produced directly by the proton collisions and do not require the intermediate creation of the Higgs. Indeed, he says that this is likely to be the reaction that took place in this case. Showing that the Higgs exists will involve observing many such ZZ pairs and then plotting the distribution of the mass of the pairs. If the pairs are produced in only the direct reaction, then this distribution should be fairly flat; but if instead the Higgs is involved, then the distribution should instead show a peak at a particular value – the mass of the Higgs.
Predicting how many data are likely to be needed to prove that this peak exists, and therefore how long the machine will have to run for before the Higgs is found, is difficult because the fraction of ZZ events that would result from the decay of the Higgs depends on its mass, which is not known from theory. Above about 180 GeV – the combined mass of two Zs – the Higgs can readily decay into a Z-pair, but at lower masses it would be far more likely to decay into other particles that are not so easy to detect.
"For a given Higgs mass we know how many Z pairs, and therefore how many muon quadruplets, we should produce," says Dorigo. "But since we don't know the mass, the fraction of muon events that is due to a Higgs could be lower than a tenth or as high as a few tenths."
Don't speculate, accumulate
Dorigo is reluctant to speculate on when he and his colleagues might finally bag the Higgs. But in very round terms, he says that about 100 pairs of Zs are likely to be needed, which, he believes, means about 100 times the amount of collision data collected so far. This would be about five times the amount of data that would be accumulated before the collider is due to be switched off for an upgrade to full energy at the end of 2011, meaning that conclusive evidence of a Higgs decay to ZZ pairs before then is unlikely (although other decay signatures might enable a discovery with fewer data).
However, ATLAS team member Andy Parker of Cambridge University in the UK points out that the Fermilab's Tevatron accelerator in the US could have its lifespan extended to 2014, which might prompt CERN to delay the upgrade for a year. He says that any decision on whether to extend the current run will depend on how well the accelerator performs next year, but he believes that "this year has gone exceptionally well" and that CERN "could still decide to run in 2012". Either way, he says, the latest CMS result shows that the LHC's experiments "now have enough data to begin the Higgs search in earnest".

Example sentences
- Archbishop Montalvo wrote back to VOTO's steering committee that, 'as a matter of course, the nunciature takes into judicious account all the information it receives from any quarter in the matter of the provision of a diocese.'
- This time it was more successful, thanks to the nunciature of the Jesuit David Wolfe between 1561 and 1565.
- Following a question from The Sunday Business Post, the secretariat at the nunciature responded: 'The Apostolic Nunciature would point out that it is not its practice to comment on any specific legal case.'
Early 17th century: from Italian nunziatura, from nunzio 'message-bearer' (see nuncio).

The first two General David Petraeus Rules for Living–at least as captured by his former mistress–are
1. Lead by example from the front of the formation. Take your performance personally—if you are proud to be average, so too will be your troops.
2. A leader must provide a vision—clear and achievable "big ideas" combined in a strategic concept—and communicate those ideas throughout the entire organization and to all other stakeholders.
In this, his moment of crisis, Petraeus appears to have amended those rules to "don't make a move until your high profile reputation rehabilitator tells you to."
He has hired Robert B. Barnett, the Washington superlawyer, to handle his future, and friends say he has not even ruled out becoming a talking head on television.
Their house, on a verdant Arlington street of $1 million and $2 million homes — for security reasons, the address is listed in no public property records — is expected to be Mr. Petraeus's center of operations at least until the first of next year, the earliest his friends say he could venture out from the wilderness with a Barnett-approved new job or position.
No matter. Hiding in your home until the PR hack says "jump"–even resorting to a stationary bike when, in the past, the General made a point of running through some of the most dangerous cities in the world–can still be wedged into General David Petraeus Rules for Living. There's this:
4. There is an exception to every rule, standard operating procedure, and policy; it is up to leaders to determine when exceptions should be made and to explain why they made them.
While he's cooped up in the "wilderness" of million dollar homes in Arlington, VA, Petraeus just has to think of some reason he has made an exception to his rules about vision and leading by example.
Um, OF COURSE he's going to become a talking head. He's like Dick Morris, only with actual credentials. Fox News is probably already drafting up a contract for him.
It's worth noting, however, that he's got several potential obstacles in his path:
1. We still don't know where Broadwell got her classified information from. By all appearances, she and her lawyer are either (a) unbelievably incompetent or (b) have cut some sort of deal with the FBI. Either way, she's going to point a finger at someone. Petraeus doesn't seem to think it's going to be him, but he also didn't seem to think he'd get caught having a torrid affair with his biographer, so I don't really trust his judgement on this.
2. He had multiple interviews with the FBI. That usually means they didn't believe the first line of bullshit you tried to run on them. No one seems to think he's going to be charged with lying to the feds, but that might change as this story plays out.
3. Those e-mails are eventually going to leak. I'm going to guess they won't be all that flattering. They're also going to show that this wasn't a one-night oopsie. It was long-term affair. With pathetic prose.
4. The Kelley/Khawam/Allen angle of the story is still playing out. Kelley's hired big guns. Khawam has Gloria Allred. Both are in serious financial debt, and it's unclear to me how they'd be able to hire these people in the first place unless they had something to deal with. They obviously have access to their own e-mails and could potentially leak those at any time. But they're also in such deep debt that they've probably committed some sort of financial fraud at some point, so they may not have as much leverage as they think.
5. The FBI, by all appearances, has wanted to shut this whole investigation down before the whole affair story even leaked out, and they REALLY don't seem to want to charge anyone with anything. However, there have been several high-profile cases recently involving mishandling of classified information. They may end up getting backed into a corner where they look like colossal hypocrites if they don't charge someone with something. If Broadwell's lawyer is unbelievably incompetent, I'd say she's going under the bus. If not, she could point the finger at someone, or Kelley or Khawam might decide to throw someone to the wolves.
In any case, I don't think we're at the last act of this play. I think we're somewhere in the middle.
Your Posts have been fantastic. I went through them starting about Nov 10. Bigger scandal than Watergate, or Iran or Iran-Contra? Probably. Bigger scandal than the corporate pollution of our Earth? Maybe not.
But we can help terminate the careers of neo-cons, and their embedded sycophants.
Today in SpyFall, Jill got a medal from P4 himself, from the JOINT CHIEFS OF STAFF. And a couple other things I forgot.
Petraeus is being investigated and his staff is part of the fun. My Eyes Glaze Over In Amazement. P4 lawyered up with Barnett? But he does have a new Public Relations hack, and a new PR problem. Unfortunately Paula is not available. Howie Kurtz could also help with the info war.
A federal investigation is questioning whether Gen. David Petraeus's staff leaked classified information to the general's biographer, Paul Broadwell, at his direction. According to the Washington Post, former Petraeus staffers claim that they were ordered to provide "military records and other documents" to Broadwell, who is now known to have engaged in an extramarital affair with the four-star Army general.
Raw Story (http://s.tt/1uAZr)
P4 can reveal secrets to his LOVER, Paula who is an "Intelligence Officer." Anthony Schaffer is not allowed to tell the truth about the never ending failures of the Intelligence Community.
Petraeus' exploits on the stationary bike are legendary. His "bike program" has him tackling the Alps in times that Lance Armstrong would envy, all the time talking with a companion.
@Brindle: Oh, I don't doubt THAT. Just that he's cowering inside in Arlington where he didn't in, say, Tripoli.
Says something about what makes Petraeus afraid. His physical fitness I do not doubt. Nor Broadwell's, for that matter.
You know, it just occurred to me that all of the players here should still have access to all of the e-mails that they've both sent and received. So anyone involved can just sell their e-mails to the highest bidder, right?
@Frank33 Ah, I can see where this is going now. Broadwell got the info by invoking Petraeus's name, but not from Petraeus himself. And whoever let her have the info is going to be the one(s) who get nailed for this. Petraeus has plausible deniability, so he's clean. So a few low-level heads will roll, and Petraeus will be shocked! that someone would just hand over classified information to someone else because his name was invoked.
Jill has been decorated with the Distinguished Laison Service Medal. above and beyond the call of duty. Jill has some "fruit salad" to put on her chest. Could this be on video, showing P4 decorating her chest?
And all Paula got was a "I destroyed a village to save it" tee shirt. No wonder Paula was angry seeing the under the desk action between Jill and P4 or was that Allen. Was that recorded on a security camera perhaps?
The award citation noted the honour was for her public service to the U.S. Central Command, MacDill and the Department of Defense from October 31, 2008 to May 31, 2010. She received a silver medal, lapel pin, citation and certificate.
'Mrs. Kelley distinguished herself by exceptional service while supporting the mission of the United Central Command, building positive relationships between the military and the Tampa community, supporting community outreach, and advancing various military endeavors,'…
It adds that her 'willingness to host engagements with Senior National Representatives from more than 60 countries was indicative of her support for both the Coalition's effort and the mission of United States Central Command'.
Jill was laisoning with diplomats and assassins from more than sixty countries. How will we win the war without Jill?
Preserving his legacy? If he pursues the talking head option, can politics be far behind? Think of Oliver North who not only did not shrink into obscurity out of shame, he trumpeted his infamy into a singularly american avocation;
Don't hide your warts; decorate them….
@FrankProbst: Maybe not. Remember, a lot of their traffic didn't get sent. Access to the Gmail account(s) they used to save "drafts" for one another may be limited these days.
@Ben Franklin: But remember what happened to North. Weak sister Chuckie Robb beat Ollie in his only campaign (Senate). Turning point in the campaign may have been in a debate when Ollie whined to the effect that "I'm the most investigated man in history". Doug Wilder (Independent) responded, "and with good cause". End of debate, Ollie was speechless. Following his defeat North retired to a career in sycophantic yammer radio.
Am I the only one who thinks there might be something criminal that petraeus is/was involved in that is working its way through the pipes?
"all night long, baby,
all night long"
There are a lot more reporters in Washington than Tripoli. Some of them are probably keeping a discreet eye on his house.
Ollie, of the incredible ego, yes a tremendous model for Patraeus as far as re-inventing oneself. Sadly, none of North's incarnations have managed to erase his sleazy nature.
Of course, there are those who have been mightily striving to argue, against all reason, that the Petraeus' affair doesn't even constitute a scandal. Now that sort of denial does approach Ollie North up-is-down territory.
"Says something about what makes Petraeus afraid."
The press, the goddamm press. Who'd a thunk it? Guess a sensation feeding frenzy is as fear inducing as truth seeking, if not more. Awe and shock, film at 11.
@FrankProbst: @P J Evans: …and some maybe just by looking out their own windows. Arlington's a pretty tightly packed community.
After reading Michael Hastings' The Operators, it occurs to me that part of what Petraeus might originally have been trying to do with Broadwell was to do correctly what McChrystal did so carelessly with Hastings. That is, to have an embedded reporter write a fawning profile. But P4 let the pendulum go too far the other way, so to speak: where McChrystal failed to see in advance that Hastings wasn't going to toe the party line, Petraeus let his writer get way too close. It sounds kind of obvious to say now in retrospect, but I do wonder how much the experience with Hastings and Rolling Stone affected Petraeus's decision to bring Broadwell in?
@H. Candace gorman: Oh, please! Let it be both criminal and uncoverup-able.
@HotFlash: By criminal you mean like something other than serial violations of the Geneva Convention.
why yes i DID purchase this week's People magazine for the cover story: "The Petraeus Affair: Sex, Lies & Spies".
fav quote The Twins edition: "A few of us on base called them Jill and Natalie Kardashian," says a former Macdill Army colonel. "They were like junior high girls, name-dropping."
fav quote Broadwell edition: Petraeus "has always had hard-bodied brunettes on his staff. I don't know that he hand-picks them, but that's who he wound up with," says an Army source.
@H. Candace gorman: I dunno. If he thought for a second he had criminal exposure, I don't think he hires Barnett as his lead/only attorney.
@bmaz: His judgment has been sadly lacking of late.
I was wrong about the name of Jill's silver medal from the taxpayers and JCS. Jill won a Joint Chiefs of Staff Outstanding Public Service Medal. I am sure her private services were exceptionally meritorious above and beyond the call of duty.
The nominees (an individual, group or organization) (1) Does not derive their principal livelihood from US Government employment; (2) Has performed, at any time since enactment of the National Security Act of 1947, exceptionally meritorious service of significance to the Department of Defense, Joint Staff, combatant commands or organizations that report to or through the Chairman.
Jill! Congress! White House! FBI! CENTCOM! Joint Chiefs of Staff! That lady is like a hurricane but Natalie has also left a trail of devastation and destruction.
@bmaz If I were his lawyers, I would ignore every denial he made and assume he's at risk of criminal prosecution. Broadwell was getting classified info from somewhere, after all, and Petraeus's lawyers would be foolish not to consider the possibility that it came from Petraeus himself.
So from a divorce lawyer's standpoint, should Mrs Petraeus file now, or should she wait six months for the wingnut welfare to kick in?
That is so unkind of you to suggest such a thing! There is pain, there is hurt, there are the children. These brave patriots are victims who only tried to get their piece of the war profiteering.
I would say get the lawyer immediately. Try to get Grayson Wolfe's lawyer when he divorced Natalie. Or the custody lawyer.
Holly is director of the Office of Servicemember Affairs, a part of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. The neo-cons privatized and ripped off military benefits with some crooked banking. Holly gets a job.
@Frank33 I hope she gets Wolfe's judge.
I keep reading this sentence: "A federal investigation is questioning whether Gen. David Petraeus's staff leaked classified information to the general's biographer, Paul Broadwell, at his direction." And I wonder, did the editor just miss the double entendre, or did s/he say, "That's pretty much perfectly worded."
How long before he's on Dancing with the Stars?
you called it right a few posts back:
the soap we are watching, avidly,
and commenting on, avidly,
is "as the general squirms" :)
what i am wondering is
which staff member will be assigned the honor of taking the fall
for general david ("old dickery") petraeus ?
The one in charge of making sure he gets his wine glasses and fresh pineapple, I would think.
This being America, that's exactly how it will play out. A (fake contrite) laying-low followed by the reinvention-redemption two-step and — presto! — fame and lucre. And all by Q1 2012… In a country where what happened six weeks ago is ancient history, no one will bother with either his affair or, more important, with his utterly bankrupt and murderous military strategies. To be sure, the latter will be baked into the national mythology, especially on the part of those on the Right who soil themselves when they think of Petraeus and 2016.
Big picture: Stop the military worship. Appoint civilian leaders who will actually keep the generals in check and accountable.
This starts with the administration, runs through congress and the media, right down to us serfs.
noble serf…..but, but, but…TEH TROOPS. So Brave. He diddled for our freedom!

Suspect in Shooting of 14-year-old Caught in South Carolina
A 21-year-old man who was wanted for the shooting death of a 14-year-old riding a city bus in Queens has been taken into custody in South Carolina, police said.
Kevin McClinton had been identified as the prime suspect in the death of D'aja Robinson, who police said was not the intended target of a hail of bullets fired into a Q6 bus while it drove on Sutphin Avenue in South Jamaica on May 18.
Mr. McClinton was taken into custody in South Carolina and is awaiting extradition to New York on Tuesday, police said. Police officials said last week the 9 p.m. shooting was apparently sparked by a gang dispute.
D'aja had been on the bus on her way home from a Sweet 16 party when she was struck by a single bullet to her head.
The alleged shooter had fired nine bullets into the bus, police said.

I also saw that the State Attorney of New York is going after this company and I want to be a part of bringing them down. They have ripped off two many companies and I don't know how they have gotten away with this for so long. Why don't they just pay people for there work? naw that would be too nice to actully pay anyone that subcontracts work for them they would rather keep all the money for themselves.

Cheers at Christopher Kane
From photographs of girls in their council-estate bedrooms, Christopher Kane created a beguiling spring collection that garnered him a rare fashion cheer at the end of the show, and accolades backstage.
"It was exhilarating and so pretty," said Barneys New York's Simon Doonan. "And it was meticulous and beautifully crafted, as well as being glamorous and youthful."
The Vibe: Serenity in a dress
The Looks: Clean lines and sculpted silhouettes were given sex appeal with cuts, cut-outs and sheer fabrics, often dotted with a bouquet of appliqué flowers that looked almost like a young girl's sticker book. Crystal-encrusted shirts, skirts and dresses added a different kind of lightness.
The Hues: A sea of simmering pastels punctuated by bright blue that the Scottish designer said "gave [the collection] an electric pulse"
The Front Row: Kanye West, Anna Wintour and Samantha Cameron
The Catwalk to End All Catwalks: Mr. Kane said the best way to describe the long runway was to compare it with walking from Topshop to the Sunglass Hut on Oxford Street, about four city blocks. Thankfully, the designer seemed to take that length into consideration when creating cushiony, flat sandals for the runway."It was really a treat to see all those girls not teetering in seven-inch heels," Mr. Doonan said.

Tabloids love stories of neuroscientists tinkering with things like the god spot (variously called god circuit, god gene, or god module) in our brain. The boffins have also ostensibly found that by putting on a special virtual reality helmet, you can have mystical visions at will.
But now come new research that says you should forget about one single "god spot". The scientists led by Mario Beuregard of Montreal University say the sense of union with god, or something greater than the self involves more than a dozen centres spread all over the brain. Some of them have been normally implicated in various functions such as self-consciousness, emotion and body representation.

MIDDLEBORO — This weekend, the Middleboro Public Library promises a rocking good time to all who attend the World Music Weekend.

"Whether you are planning to come to both or just one of the events, join the Friends for pizza and help support the many programs they sponsor for the community," said Library Director Danielle Bowker. "A large slice and a soda will be $3 with all proceeds going to help the Friends bring more high quality events to the library."
At 6 p.m., families are invited to attend "World Drumming" a kid-friendly drum circle for people of all ages. Instruments will be provided but you're welcome to bring your own drums for the jam session.

Start celebrating St. Patrick's Day early by stopping by the Library for the final event of the weekend. On Sunday at 1 p.m., long-time favorites, Two Old Friends, will return with their special brand of Celtic and New England folk music, punctuated with humorous stories.
World Music Weekend is supported in part by a grant from the Middleboro Cultural Council, a local agency supported by the Massachusetts Cultural Council.
Additional funding is provided by the Friends of the Middleborough Public Library. No registration is necessary for these concerts and all programs are free and open to the public.

By PHIIL NOBILE
Banding together to battle against a popular local bar and restaurant, some village residents have taken steps to stop Molly Spillane's from getting a permit renewed in order to operate its business.
The restaurant, located in the heart of the village's commercial district on the corner of Mamaroneck and Prospect avenues, is up for a renewal of its special use permit before the village's Zoning Board of Appeals. At its June 5 meeting, the board held a public hearing on the matter, leading to members of the community, both for and against keeping the business open, to show up in numbers.
Arguing quality of life issues due to noisy nights and loud sports games, Kate Priest, an 11-year Prospect Avenue resident, has led the charge of a concentrated community group against awarding the business its renewed permit.
Like all restaurants in the downtown district, Molly Spillane's requires a yearly review of its business and renewal of its permits by the Zoning Board of Appeals to operate, according to acting Building Inspector Robert Hughes.
Neighbors like Priest and others are hoping this year's renewal will yield a different verdict than in years prior.
"I've talked to our neighbors who are sick and tired of Molly Spillane's lack of consideration for our neighborhood after years of complaints," Priest said. "We want action taken by whatever means to reduce Molly Spillane's noise and negative impact on our neighborhood."
According to Priest, 148 complaints from local residents between 2011 and 2013 have been filed with the village, ranging from noise complaints and concerns about activity from drunk customers.
Despite the large amount of complaints, no violations have been leveled against the business—a point that Paul Noto, attorney for Molly Spillane's, stressed.
"We are in compliance with the conditions that this board has imposed over the years; there have been no violations issued against Molly Spillane's for violating the laws of the village," Noto said. "It's a select number of people who have raised some concerns, and Molly Spillane's has done everything they can."
Having its special use permit, which allows the business to function, renewed each year since opening in 2009, the business has faced no shortage of criticism from members of the community in the ensuing years.
Contending petitions from each side of the bar battle were offered to zoning board members at their most recent meeting. On behalf of the neighbors, Priest had a written petition of 183 village residents against the restaurant.
Noto and Mike Hynes, owner of Molly Spillane's, had an online petition with more than 600 signatures as of press time.
Priest and other critical residents suggested the restaurant take measures beyond simply adhering to the code to alleviate traveling sound and vibrations that, according to the residents, have caused sleep and health issues.
"There are things that Molly Spillane's can do, like hire an audio engineer to install sound-reducing materials in the restaurant. They can also go out in the neighborhood and listen and turn the volume down," Priest said. "As it is now, we are constantly kept awake by pounding vibrations that are very detrimental to people's health."
Noto and Hynes have said that they would offer to take measures like putting up a sound barrier of some sort, but added that they have taken other measures since the opening of the restaurant more than five years ago.
"I am worried about noise too," Hynes said, referring to noise travelling within his business. "When we built Molly Spillane's, we specifically used an acoustic ceiling sheetrock. We spent over $75,000 to make sure sound doesn't travel."
Despite the majority of concerned community members consisting of residents from The Regatta, an apartment building located at 123 Mamaroneck Ave., board members of the apartment's association declined to take a side on the issue.
"While the Board of Directors sympathizes with the plight of these residents, it has decided not to take a position in regards to their issues," Brian Gassick, the president of the board of Regatta Condominium Association, said. "The board remains a neutral party, and would like to resolve these issues in partnership with both sides."
With the public hearing closed, the Zoning Board of Appeals will decide whether or not to grant Molly Spillane's its permit renewal at its Aug. 7 meeting.
