"Vampire Diaries" Alum Confirmed to Play Savitar on "The Flash" S3
Comic Books, TV
This year I designed a particularly silly holiday card for you. Enjoy and have a wonderful time (if you can. If not, then I hope that you can read some comic books, listen to some music, and wait until this weird time of year is over.)
Just in case you're actually reading my column today (instead of recovering from holiday craziness,) I'll tell you about one of my most Christmassy Christmases in years. I spent it with my UK family and some US family too. We ate too much and watched a little kid roll around in near hysteria as he ripped wrapping paper off of boxes (which is actually kind of great.) A birth was announced, tears were shed and much too much cake and chocolate was consumed.
On a personal consumerism front, the comic book-gifting love was overwhelming. I got Chris Ware's Building Stories which I immediately spread out all over the floor and became obsessed with. The beautiful, oversized, hardcover compilation of Jaime Hernandez' God and Science: Return of the Ti-Girls looks even better at that size. The Hot Wheels Custom Motors Batman Tumbler Starter Set, with all the parts to customize the Tumbler is very silly and simultaneously pretty great. I haven't even opened it yet because I like the way it looks in the package so much (and going by my past experiences with toys, I suppose it might stay that way.)
Moving away from the comic books and veering into my science fiction geekery, was the amazingly complete seven disc blu ray collection of all the original Star Trek movies plus a discussion/documentary (can't wait to dig into that.) I've got Brave to watch too, which did came in very handy for an all-ages screening when everyone became too tired to move, even if most of what was said was "how did they do that with her hair?) I don't think I've ever had such a Christmas (which is what happens when you don't really celebrate the holiday in any official capacity for a couple of decades.) I feel like my inner child (and the outer one) has been very effectively satiated in a way that I probably never did before. It is a strange and wonderful time that we live in, where our once-marginal interests are so broadly accepted and easily accessible to the people around us.
I'd like to take this opportunity to thank everyone reading this for your generosity, for your attention, your comments, and your emails. Comic books are a wonderful, complex form of communication and I dearly love that you allow me to share my enthusiasm for the medium every Wednesday. I wish you happiness, peace, and good health, now and in the future.
Thank you – Sonia
Merry Christmas, Sonia!
I was not aware of that custom Batmobile set (a tumbler is something Tony Stark drinks from, as far as I'm concerned), which is probably for the best. Toys R Us is delivering the LEGO Batcave sometime before New Years, which will be a fine companion to my Dark Knight Trilogy blu ray set, as the Hulk Helicarrier Escape set nicely complements my Avengers blu ray.
FWIW, I got both Star Trek blu ray sets this year after Bleeding Cool posted when they were super cheap on Amazon or Amazon UK, I forget which. I got them way before the holiday season and couldn't see a good reason to wait to break them out. I haven't watched the special features yet, but the movies are fun to watch, if only for the memories they dredge up of how old I was when they first came out.
Have a happy New Years!
Thank YOU, Sonia; the pleasure was all ours!
What I like about the card is how it looks like the (reformed) Bumble is about to perform its traditional job of putting a star atop that little Xmas tree. Best wishes to you and all.

What are Housing Benefit and Council Tax Support?
Housing Benefit and Council Tax Support are state benefits which help people on low income pay rent, Council Tax or both, on the home they live in. Local councils run the schemes using regulations set out by the Government.
Housing Benefit and Council Tax Support are means-tested benefits. This means that the amount people get depends on:
- their income;
- their savings; and
- who lives with them.
What is Local Housing Allowance (LHA)?
Local Housing Allowance is a form of Housing Benefit for tenants renting from private landlords.
LHA is based on the number of bedrooms people need and not how much the rent is. This is called the 'size criteria' and is worked out as follows.
Tenants are allowed one bedroom for:
- every adult couple;
- any other adult aged 16 or over;
- any two children under 10;
- any two children of the same sex aged up to 15; and
- any other child.
Which tenants are affected by LHA?
The LHA rules, introduced in April 2008, affect any private landlord whose tenants receive Housing Benefit. LHA rules do not apply to the following.
- Tenants who rent from the council.
- Tenants who rent from registered social landlords.
- Supported housing provided by certain local authorities, social landlords, charities and voluntary organisations.
- Registered rent tenancies which started before 1989. (This is where a tenant is registered with the Rent Service, which means you cannot increase rent over a certain amount.)
- Tenancies in caravans, houseboats and hostels.
- Tenancies where the rent officer decides that a large part of the rent is for board and attendance, such as hotel accommodation.
The LHA rules affect new claims, breaks in claims and changes of address from 7th April 2008.
Tenants aged under 25 years who live alone
If the tenant is aged under 25 and lives alone, they can only get the Local Housing Allowance shared room rate. You can find out what the shared room rate is by checking the shared room rate here or you can contact us. See the more information section for details.
The role of The Rent Service
Under LHA rules, The Rent Service do not value individual properties. Instead, they will set monthly LHA rates for different sized properties within areas based on the middle figure (median) of a range of rent charged by private landlords. These areas are called broad rental market areas.
The Rent Service are responsible for supplying the local authority with LHA rates for their area every month. They will provide figures for the shared-room rate and the one-bedroom, two-bedroom, three bedroom, four-bedroom and five-bedroom rates.
From April 2009, if the tenant is entitled to more than six rooms, Local Housing Allowance will be only be paid at the five-bedroom rate.
The Rent Service are also responsible for deciding what rent people are entitled to if they are not claiming LHA.
Broad Rental Market Areas
The Broad Rental Market Area (BRMA) is the area used to set the level of LHA. Each LHA is the middle figure in the range of rents for all types of property with that number of rooms in the BRMA. A BRMA will cover a number of neighbourhoods. In the BRMA there will be a mix of property types and other places to live within a reasonable travelling distance of similar public facilities.
The Rent Service continually monitors the local rental market and collects details about properties available to rent and the rents that have been agreed for properties let recently. This information comes from different places, including letting agents, landlords and tenants and a range of advertisements.
Who can claim Housing Benefit or LHA?
Anyone who pays rent for the home they live in can claim. But not everyone who pays rent will qualify.
Tenants may not qualify if:
- their income is too high;
- they live with, and pay rent to, a close relative;
- they used to live with the landlord as a family member, relative or friend, and now pay that person rent;
- they are a member of a religious order;
- they live in a care home such as a nursing or old people's home;
- it is not a business arrangement;
- they rent a former joint home from their ex-partner;
- they are responsible for a child of their landlord;
- they rent their property from a company, and they are a director or employee of that company;
- they rent from a trust and they are a trustee or beneficiary of the trust;
- they used to own the property within the last 5 years which they now rent;
- they live in the home as part of their job; or
- they are students. Most students don't qualify but some still do, so please ask us.
Please note
- You or your tenant should not assume that benefit will be paid, or how much will be paid, until we tell you in writing.
Who must pay Council Tax?
An owner-occupier or tenant aged 18 or over living in the property is usually responsible for paying the Council Tax.
In certain circumstances, owners who do not live in the property must pay the Council Tax. The most common example of this is a House in Multiple Occupation (HMO).
What is a House in Multiple Occupation (HMO)?
An HMO is where:
- a tenant or tenants rent a room in the property and share facilities, for example a bathroom or kitchen (or both); and
- each has a separate tenancy agreement with only their name on it.
The landlord or owner is usually responsible for paying the Council Tax for an HMO.
Do students have to pay Council Tax?
If all the tenants are full-time students in further or higher education, the property will be exempt from Council Tax during term time, even if it is an HMO.
Courses must be for at least one academic year, and periods of study, tuition or work experience must be at least 21 hours a week.
All the students must provide a student certificate from their college for the exemption to apply.
What about joint tenants?
If a property is rented out to more than one person and is not classed as an HMO, the tenants are responsible for paying the Council Tax.
If you rent out a joint tenancy like this, there should usually only be one tenancy agreement. It should show all the tenants' names and should have only one rent charge.
If you have any questions about Council Tax, please contact us. See the more information section for details.
How does my tenant make a claim for benefit?
Tenants must fill in and sign a benefit claim form. We also ask the tenant's partner to sign the form. They can get a form from us. See the more information section for details.
If someone helps your tenant to fill the form in, we ask them to sign it too.
Your tenant must show us some documents. Please see the section called 'What documents can you accept?'. Your tenant can speed things up by sending us these in with their claim.
What documents can you accept?
Your tenant and their partner must each provide separate proof of their identity and National Insurance number because the law says we must see these before we can deal with a claim.
We will tell your tenant what they need to provide as proof, and we need to see original documents.
However, no-one should delay a claim because they do not have these documents. They should send their application in straight away and tell us that they will send us the documents later.
What proof of rent do you need?
All private tenants must supply proof of the rent they pay. This will usually be a tenancy agreement, which must include:
- the full name and home or business address of the landlord;
- the full name and home or business address of any agent for the landlord;
- the full names of those renting the property;
- the landlord or agent's signature;
- the tenants' signatures;
- the date the tenancy will start;
- the full address of the property they are renting;
- the amount charged;
- how often the rent is payable – usually every week, four weeks or month;
- the date the document was signed;
- what is included in the rent, for example, meals, gas, electricity and water rates;
- the amount included for these services; and
- how long the tenancy will last for.
When do you pay benefit?
We pay benefit in weeks, and a benefit week usually starts on a Monday and ends on a Sunday. We usually pay benefit from the Monday after the date the tenant first contacts us to make their claim.
If we get a claim in the same benefit week as the tenancy starts, we will pay benefit from the start of the tenancy unless we have paid benefit at a previous address.
Sometimes we can pay benefit for an earlier period. This is called 'backdating' benefit, and your tenant will need to show that they had a good reason why they did not apply for benefit at the appropriate time.
What are the general rules on payments?
Payments are usually made every four weeks, for the previous four weeks.
Under the LHA rules, we cannot pay you direct. The tenant will be responsible for receiving their Housing Benefit payments and paying you their rent.
However, the Housing Benefit regulations say that if a tenant has not paid you eight weeks' rent or more, we can consider paying you direct.
Please write to us as soon as your tenant owes you eight weeks' rent or more.
If we think the tenant is unlikely to pay their rent or they are not able to pay their rent because they are vulnerable or have severe financial difficulties, we may pay you LHA on their behalf.
A tenant is unlikely to pay their rent if they:
- are behind with their rent;
- have continually not paid their rent; or
- have previously left a property and owed rent.
Financial difficulties might include people who:
- are not able to open a bank account or building-society account;
- have severe debt problems; and
- are bankrupt.
Someone is vulnerable if they have difficulty managing their own money. This might include people:
- with certain medical conditions;
- with learning disabilities;
- with mental-health problems;
- who cannot read or speak English; and
- with certain addictions.
This is not a full list and there may be other reasons why a tenant might be considered vulnerable.
If you want to receive payments direct from us, you must write to us and ask. If possible, please provide proof to support your application. If you would like more information on what we accept as proof, please contact us using the details in the more information section.
In some circumstances, the first cheque we send to the tenant may be made payable to the landlord. This is usually because the first payment is for a large amount.
We do not take any of the tenant's responsibilities to pay their rent by agreeing to pay Housing Benefit direct. For example, we will not pay you compensation if your tenant does not pay you rent.
What could delay benefit being paid?
There are various things that could delay benefit being paid. For example, if:
- the tenant hasn't filled in the form properly;
- we haven't got all the proof we've asked for; or
- we need to make further enquiries.
Please note that the tenant is solely responsible for supplying proof of identity, income, rent and so on.
What if my tenant has not got a bank account?
If your tenant has not been able to open a current account because they have a poor credit history, they may be able to open a basic bank account. All the major banks and building societies offer them.
Basic bank accounts are easy to use and have the basic features of a current account. Your tenant will be able to take out cash at the counter and at cash machines. They may also set up direct debits, but they will not be able to have an overdraft or a chequebook.
What if my tenant's circumstances change?
You, or your tenant, must tell us straightaway, in writing, of any changes that may affect their benefit. If you or your tenant are not sure what to report, tell us anyway. We will let you know if it affects their benefit.
What should a tenant do if they change address?
If a tenant moves to a new address they must fill in a new claim for benefit.
If they leave your property, the benefit will end even if you are still charging them rent. The tenant is responsible for any rent due after the benefit ends.
You or your tenant should tell us straightaway if they are moving out.
If a tenant changes rooms in a house in multiple occupation, or board and lodgings accommodation, you or your tenant must tell us in writing straightaway.
What information can you give to landlords?
If we pay Housing Benefit to your tenant, we can only tell you certain things about their claim if they have given us permission to do so.
All details about a tenant's claim are confidential so we would only be able to tell you:
- that we have received a claim; and
- that a claim has ended.
If we pay Housing Benefit to you direct, we can tell you:
- the date benefit started and ended;
- the weekly amount of benefit and how often we pay it;
- the amount we are taking direct from the benefit to get back an overpayment; and
- details of any payments paid directly to you.
If we start or stop paying you direct, we will write to you to tell you. It is up to you to collect any difference between the benefit we pay and the rent that is due.
What if you have overpaid benefit?
If we find we have paid too much benefit, we can ask you or your tenant to pay it back. We can only ask you to pay back an overpayment if it was originally paid direct to you.
How will you get the overpayment back?
If a tenant's circumstances change and there is an overpayment, we often take the money from their continuing benefit each week, even if they live at an address that is different from where the overpayment happened.
The tenant should pay the difference in the rent they owe you.
We can send a bill to get back:
- an overpayment from a tenant who is no longer on benefit; or
- payments from landlords when, for example, you have been paid after your tenant has moved out.
If we send you a bill you disagree with, get in touch with us straight away. As a landlord, you have the right to appeal against our decision to get back an overpayment from you.
If you don't repay overpayments when we ask you to, we can take the money out of benefit we are going to pay you for other tenants. We may decide not to pay you at all.
If we pay you direct, we can ask you to repay any overpayment, even if you couldn't have known we were paying you too much. But, if the overpayment was because of a change in the tenant's income or their household income, we may ask the tenant to repay it.
If you think your tenant has made a false claim for benefit, please tell us straight away. We would not normally expect you to pay back the overpayment.
What if I or my tenants do not agree with your decision - can we appeal?
That depends. As a landlord, you have fewer appeal rights than a tenant.
Appeals by tenants
Your tenant can appeal against any decision we have made about their benefit claim.
We tell them their appeal rights and the time limits on the decision letters we send out.
They have one month from the date of the decision letter in which to ask us to reconsider our decision. There are full details in our leaflet called 'What to do if you disagree with a Housing Benefit or Council Tax Benefit decision'.
If the tenant appeals, they must sign all the letters.
Appeals by landlords
Landlords can only appeal against our decision if we:
- refuse to pay benefit direct; or
- decide they should repay an overpayment.
Landlords can't appeal about the amount of a tenant's benefit, or which weeks we have awarded it for.
Where can I or my tenant get help?
You can always phone us for help and advice. See the more information section for details. Or, you could contact your local citizens advice bureau or welfare rights service.
What if I want to comment on your service?
You should get in touch with us. We would like to know what you think about this leaflet or about the service we provide to you. You'll find our details in the more information section of this leaflet.
If you want more information
If you have any questions you can phone our Housing Benefit Section. The office is open: Monday to Wednesday from 8.30am to 5.00pm Thursday from 8.30am to 4.30pm Friday from 8.30am to 4.00pm. Phone 0161 342 3708 or call in and talk to someone at one of our customer service centres.

The socialist champagne grapes are turning sour for Labour Party, according to David Doran.
"Clr. Kenehan launched a false and bitter attack through the media [two weeks ago]. I take issue with the falsehoods bandied about by Clr. Kenehan in regard to Sinn Fein and I wish to set the record straight.
"Labour go to great lengths to portray themselves as the only political party to vote 'No' to the bank bailout. This is absolute rubbish! Sinn Fein voted against the Bank Guarantee Scheme brought forward by Brian Lenihan on October 17, 2008. This can easily be verified through the Dáil (Irish Parliament) records. This is the scheme by which the government is now bailing out the banks and that Labour has supported since becoming members of the government. What Sinn Fein voted for was the Financial Support Bill brought forward by Brian Lenihan on September 30, 2008. Labour did not. That bill said the minister could act when there was a threat to the stability of credit institutions in the State, a need to maintain stability of the financial system in the State and the necessity to remedy a serious disturbance in the economy of the State."

Local chef Paul Smith introduced children to the joys of cooking and eating healthier food last Friday, October 25, at Holy Rosary National School, in Wicklow Town. More than 300 children and a number of parents were at the demonstration, which ran from 9:30 a.m. to 2 p.m.
The event was part of the healthy town initiative, and Mr. Smith said the emphasis was on showing that food can be fun.
He said children were given a tray containing carrot, broccoli, celery and a tomato, and asked to try at least one. (The vegetables were cut, of course, in interesting shapes). They were shown how to make a sausage roll and a gluten-free Parmesan biscuit. But are sausage rolls healthy?

cardiogenic shock
Not everyone who has a heart attack develops cardiogenic shock. In fact, less than 10 percent of people who have a heart attack develop it. But when cardiogenic shock does occur, it's very dangerous. For people who die from a heart attack in a hospital, cardiogenic shock is the most common cause.
What is shock?The medical term "shock" refers to a state in which not enough blood and oxygen reach important organs in the body, such as the brain and kidneys. In a state of shock, a person's blood pressure is very low.
Shock can have a number of different causes. Cardiogenic shock is only one cause of shock. Other causes of shock include:
Some of the signs and symptoms of shock include:
OutlookIn the past, almost no one survived cardiogenic shock. Now, thanks to improved treatments, around 50 percent of people who go into cardiogenic shock survive.
The reason more people are able to survive cardiogenic shock is because of treatments (medicines and devices) that restore blood flow to the heart and help the heart pump better. In some cases, devices that take over the pumping function of the heart are used. Implanting these devices requires major surgery.
What causes cardiogenic shock?
Immediate causesCardiogenic shock happens when the heart can't pump enough blood to the body. This mostly occurs when the left ventricle of the heart isn't working because the muscle isn't getting enough blood or oxygen due to an ongoing heart attack. The weakened heart muscle can't pump enough oxygen-rich blood to the rest of the body.
In about 3 percent of the cases of cardiogenic shock, the right ventricle isn't working. This means the heart can't effectively pump blood to the lungs, where the blood picks up oxygen to bring back to the heart and the rest of the body.
When the heart isn't pumping enough blood to the rest of the body, organs don't get enough oxygen and can be damaged. Some of the things that might happen include the following.
Underlying causesThe underlying causes of cardiogenic shock are conditions that weaken the heart and make it unable to pump enough blood and oxygen to the body.
These conditions include:
Who is at risk for cardiogenic shock?The most common risk factor for cardiogenic shock is having a heart attack.
If you've had a heart attack, the following factors can further increase your risk for cardiogenic shock:
What are the signs and symptoms of cardiogenic shock?A lack of blood and oxygen reaching the brain, kidneys, skin, and other parts of the body causes the symptoms of cardiogenic shock.
The signs and symptoms of cardiogenic shock include:
How is cardiogenic shock diagnosed?The first step in diagnosing cardiogenic shock is to identify that a person is in shock. At that point, emergency treatment should be started.
Once emergency treatment is started, doctors can look for the specific cause of the shock. If the reason for the shock is that the heart isn't pumping strongly enough, then the diagnosis is cardiogenic shock.
Tests that are useful in diagnosing cardiogenic shock include:
How is cardiogenic shock treated?Cardiogenic shock is life threatening and requires emergency medical treatment. In most cases, cardiogenic shock is diagnosed after a person has been admitted to the hospital for a heart attack. If the person isn't already in the hospital, emergency treatment can start as soon as medical personnel arrive.
The goals of emergency treatment for cardiogenic shock are first to treat the shock and then to treat the underlying cause or causes of the shock.
Sometimes both the shock and its cause are treated at the same time. For example, doctors may quickly open a blocked blood vessel that's causing damage to the heart. Often, opening the blood vessel can get the patient out of shock with little or no additional treatment.
Emergency life supportEmergency life support treatment is required for any type of shock. This treatment helps get blood and oxygen flowing to the brain, kidneys, and other organs. Restoring blood flow to the organs is essential to keep the patient alive and to try to prevent long-term damage to the organs. Emergency life support treatment includes:
MedicinesDuring and after emergency life support treatment, doctors try to find out what is causing the shock. If the reason for the shock is that the heart isn't pumping strongly enough, then the diagnosis is cardiogenic shock.
Depending on what is causing the cardiogenic shock, treatment may include medicines to:
Medical devices and proceduresIn addition to medicines, there are medical devices that can help the heart pump and improve blood flow. The devices most commonly used to treat cardiogenic shock include:
SurgerySometimes medicine and medical devices aren't enough to treat cardiogenic shock. Surgery can restore blood flow to the heart and the rest of the body and repair damage to the heart. Surgery can help keep a patient alive while recovering from shock and improve the chances for long-term survival.
The types of surgery used to treat underlying causes of cardiogenic shock include:
How can cardiogenic shock be prevented?The best way to prevent cardiogenic shock is to do as much as you can to lower your risk for heart disease and prevent a heart attack.
If you have a heart attack, you should get immediate treatment to try to prevent cardiogenic shock and other possible complications.

Markus Duran and Aaron Short -- both former Cabrillo College basketball players -- aren't allowed to fill out the March Madness bracket, per NCAA rules.
But they feel pretty strongly about one of the games: University of Pacific (22-12) upsetting ACC champion Miami (27-6) in the second round on Friday at 11:10 a.m. The game, which takes place in Austin, Texas, will be televised on TNT.
Pacific is a No. 15 seed in the East Region. The Hurricanes -- who feature a trio of double-digit scorers in Shane Larkin, Kenny Kadji and Durand Scott -- are No. 2.
"You always want to shoot for the best," Duran said from Stockton on Monday. "If I said I thought we are going to lose in the first round, that would be a lie."
Duran, a 6-foot senior guard who walked on to the Tigers' program, has played in 26 games for Pacific. He's averaging 9.6 minutes and 3.1 points. It's a diminished role from his junior season, when he played all 30 games with 24 starts, averaged 7.0 points, and drained a team-leading 55 3-pointers.
Duran scored five points in Pacific's 64-55 win over UC Irvine in the Big West Conference tournament championship on Saturday in Anaheim.
Short, a 6-3 junior forward out of Reno., Nev., hasn't played this season. He suffered a broken foot early in the year and is using his medical redshirt this year, leaving him with two more years of eligibility.
Although he has recovered and has practiced with the Tigers the past month, he won't play again this year. He didn't travel with the team to Anaheim, but he's making the trip to Austin to support his teammates, which include forwards Tony Gill, Travis Fulton, Sama Taku and senior guard Lorenzo McCloud -- the team's lone double-digit scorer at 11.4 points per game. Gill, a 6-8 junior, was named MVP of the Big West Tournament.
Short feels like his teammates can pull off a granddaddy of stunners.
"It's an absolutely great feeling to see guys play against bigger and better competition," Short said. "I'll just say we're getting out of the second round. I just want our guys to believe in themselves and be fearless, to feel that they can compete with anyone on the court."
Longtime Cabrillo coach Tony Marcopulos -- who worked with retiring Tigers coach Bob Thomason in Stockton from 1988-99 -- hasn't filled out a bracket either. He's too busy trying to find new homes for his sophomores, he said. Still, he's pulling for his former players.
"It's a tough match-up for Pacific," he said. "But Thomason will have them prepared and ready to play."
Both Duran and Short had storied careers at Cabrillo as the Seahawks found great success.
Short, a first-team All-Coast Conference South Division pick last season, helped Cabrillo win back-to-back conference titles.
Duran, who hails from Salt Lake City, was voted MVP of the Coast Conference South as a sophomore in 2011. He became the second player in Cabrillo history to be voted league MVP, joining Aaron Patterson, who won the award in 2007.
As special as those accomplishments are, making the NCAA Tournament is the pinnacle for most college basketball players, Duran said, noting how few players turn professional.
"This is the highest stage for most basketball players, and for a team, it's a dream come true," he said.
He likes Pacific's balance, depth and the fact the Tigers have nothing to lose as a monumental underdog.
"That's the beauty of this," Duran said. "We have a no-lose attitude. It's an advantage for us. Miami is amazing. They're the ACC champion and ACC tournament champion as well. But they can have tournament jitters."
The Tigers are playing with confidence right now. They've won seven straight games -- including three by three points of less -- to help secure their spot in the Big Dance.
"It was just an unreal moment," Duran said of knocking off UC Irvine to qualify. "It was such an intense, crazy moment that the best word I can put on it is 'unreal.'"
Until the final buzzer sounds Friday, Duran and his teammates are visualizing a celebration far more grand.
Harbor High alum and Cabrillo College sophomore Colin Gruber was named Most Valuable Player of the Coast Conference South this past season. The 6-foot-5, 190-pound guard averaged 15.1 points and 8.6 rebounds per game for the Seahawks (20-9, 10-2), who won their third straight conference title and fifth in the last seven years.
A Northern Arizona University transfer, Gruber is the third straight Seahawk to win MVP honors.
Teammate Dalton Noble, a sophomore guard out of Salt Lake City, was named second team All-Coast Conference South after averaging 16.3 points in league play. C.J. Grigg, a 6-foot-7 center out of Reno, Nev., was given honorable mention.
Santa Cruz High graduate Zen Maki, a 6-foot-2 sophomore guard who played for Monterey Peninsula College, was named second team All-Coast Conference South. Maki averaged 14.2 points in 27 games this season for the Lobos.
Mitch Postle, a 6-foot-7 sophomore who graduated from Harbor, was named to the All-Big 8 Conference team. Postle averaged 10.4 points in 27 games with San Joaquin Delta College.

Goths, baseball, crossbows and the Netflix thriller "Hush".
As with every month, our beloved Netflix Instant Watch has movies coming and going. Unlike some other sites, we here at Bloody Good Horror however, have decided to sift through the chaff and let you know specifically what horror flicks you'll need to get on top of before they disappear here at the end of May and throughout June. This isn't necessarily a list of recommendations, but rather just a list of what's going away. The choice to watch them? That's all on you.
Charlie and Casey are joined by CC for an all new adventure in Netflix land! This week, "The Colony" starring Bill Paxton and Laurence Fishburne!
Casey and Charile are joined once again by Brad Anderson, to take on the new thriller "Grand Piano" starring John Cusack and Elijah Wood.
As you may have noticed, I decided to take the weekend off! Weekends are glorious things, a pair of days where one doesn't have to worry about pesky things such as day jobs or going to bed at reasonable hours. For many of us, I'm sure that the weekends are a time in which we cram as many movies in as we can. Armed with a massive collection of DVD, Bluray and streaming options galore, it's easy to find something to watch in a weekend cram session. In fact, for many of us, the options are so widespread, the simple act of choosing a movie to watch becomes paralyzing.

Mandarins make a bloodless coup
Published 10/03/2013 | 05:00
When Josephine says "jump", Michael asks "How high?"
When John says "jump", Michael genuflects.
No joke. Last Thursday was the day of the John and Josephine duet.
Two days earlier, Michael Noonan had been dancing to the two mandarins' tune. A message was despatched to the Dail's party whips explaining why the Property Tax Bill would be guillotined that night. There was to be no discussion on amendments.
The message read: "The reason for seeking rapid passage of this Bill is that the Revenue Commissioners plan to do a bulk mail out of a Local Property Tax Guide and return form to all liable persons on March 9, in order to prepare homeowners for the new tax."
Marie Antoinette had spoken. Tax chief Josephine Feehily had told Michael she needed to begin posting the dreaded letters demanding property tax from us tomorrow. The Dail bowed to her wishes. The Government submitted, ensuring that the property tax tyranny would be rammed through in a few hours. And it was.
An unchanged Bill was passed against the wishes of weary opponents on the dot of 10.30pm, rushed through the Senate and sent for the President's signature. God bless the guillotine.
Courtesy of the guillotine, as early as this week you may receive a demand for property tax. For several weeks Josephine Feehily has been preparing meticulously for her tax offensive, subtly softening up the citizens. The Dail fell into line with her agenda.
On Thursday she held a press conference to cajole and threaten the taxpayers. An hour later she appeared on RTE's Today with Pat Kenny, explaining to the compliant listeners of Ireland the imperative of coughing up. The timetable of democracy Irish-style had bowed to an unelected mandarin's wishes.
Was it pure coincidence that at exactly the same time as gentle Josephine was appearing on Pat Kenny's show, John Moran, her equally powerful counterpart in the Department of Finance, surfaced in front of us at the Dail's Public Accounts Committee (PAC). The two most powerful mandarins in the nation had seized centre stage in Leinster House and RTE.
John was giving a dissertation on the wonderful work he and his mini-mandarins had done for the economy. His spin on our superb performance would have made poor Angela Merkel repent. The Department of Finance was charging out of the closet, claiming credit for all the so-called positive achievements of the last year.
The subliminal message from both mandarins was alarming. John gave the distinct impression that when it comes to economic decisions, the minister doesn't matter much. Ditto Josephine. They had the man from Limerick in the palm of their hands. The Dail, as all mandarins know, is a minor irritant. Many top public servants are paid more than their masters. They act accordingly.
The Government has surrendered menacing powers to this duo. Josephine was mighty on the soft sell but she made no bones of the underlying threat. Play ball with her and she will be reasonable – but cross her and you are dead. Her band of happy taxmen will chase you to the ends of the Earth. If you ignore the arrival of her missives this week, you could ultimately receive an attachment order.
If you go abroad she will catch you when you return on holiday. Stay at home and she will remove property tax from your wages, your pension, your social welfare, even your bank account – because Michael has given her unparalleled powers. Defaulters from the household tax will be cornered by July. She will pursue you and your assets. She darkly asserts that she expects very, very few to escape.
Appropriately dressed in black throughout the day, the chairman of the Revenue Commissioners provided practical information; but it was all of the punitive kind.
There was no carrot. It was all stick. Michael Noonan had abdicated.
His abdication was confirmed by the upbeat performance of John Moran in front of mostly safe coalition supporters in the PAC. John's opening address could just as easily have been Michael Noonan's party manifesto. The Secretary-General proudly rabbited on about his first year in office.
Irish Nationwide, Anglo Irish, the promissory notes and the bank guarantee were history. Irish Life was sold. Central Bank support had been reduced. Exports were flying. We had returned to growth along with our heroes, the Germans. The deficit was down. The IDA had enjoyed a record year.
While modestly insisting that the department had been "playing our part" in these successes, it was apparent that he was stealing Noonan's clothes when he boasted about how he was "very proud of our achievements". It was a PR coup d'etat for the mandarins. He graciously shared the glory with the "unsung heroes" – the footsoldier mandarins – who "somehow make it all possible".
No mention of the minister.
Where did that leave Michael Noonan? A passenger? A spectator? Or just a pawn in Sir Humphrey and Lady Josephine's long game?
It is rare to spot a mandarin being openly triumphant. Yet, funnily enough, John was not so verbose when it came to the thornier subject of the banks. On the topic of State-owned AIB, his delegation's presentation boasts of "significant progress in 2012". Ho-hum.
The submission included ominous codewords, like AIB's "cost restructuring". Then, less coyly, it shamefully bragged of the "50 branches closed" and "2,500 staff departing". It even praised the reduction in "benefits" for AIB staff. Human misery is beginning to look suspiciously like the preferred currency of the permanent government.
Simultaneously, Josephine Feehily was using the airwaves to tell the nation that she would impose austerity.
John had lost the run of himself. So the layoffs and other measures of misery are taking the banks out of the danger zone? What about mortgage arrears, long unrecognised as the silent taboo haunting the economy? And did his department, I asked him, anticipate further home repossessions this year? Were the banks about to be released from bondage to evict borrowers from their homes?
Moran mumbled. He waffled about international comparisons and a basket of different solutions; about how Ireland's bankers were the least aggressive practitioners of home evictions in Europe. Translated out of mandarinspeak, the answer was a clear "Yes". He has obviously told Michael to introduce the necessary legislation to release the dogs of war on defaulters. Evictions are on the way.
Neither John nor his eloquent sidekick, Financial Services Division chief Ann Nolan, were shy about referring minefields to the minister. Asked about how they could possibly have appointed KPMG as special liquidator to Anglo after its deplorable record at Irish Nationwide and AIB – or about controversial bank appointments – they humbly deferred to the wisdom of their master, pleading that all they did was offer options to him. Michael made the decision.
Last week when I asked an official at the Department of Finance for a chart of who did what in the mandarins' citadel, he brushed me off . He would only give me the names and positions of those at the top layer. Beyond that, they will not go.
"Why not?" I asked.
"Imagine," came the reply, "if we published the names, phone numbers and jobs of staff. You would have the public ringing us day and night."
Junior public servants would welcome it, but the very idea of top "public" servants serving the public?
You must be joking.

Watch the New TV Spot for 'The Expendables 3′
The Expendables franchise continues this summer with "The Expendables 3," and Lionsgate released a 30-second spot to promote the film, which stars Sylvester Stallone, Jason Statham and a cast that seems to include almost every other action-adventure actor present and past.

Mel Gibson portrays Stonebanks, who is determined to destroy the Expendables. To thwart him, Barney decides to recruit new team mebers who are younger, faster and better-versed in technology.
The movie is set for release on Aug. 15 and also features Arnold Schwarzenegger, Wesley Snipes, Antonio Banderas, Jet Li, Dolph Lundgren, Randy Couture, Terry Crews, and Harrison Ford.

PreyKatherine Boo's first book "Beyond the Beautiful Forever" rises beyond journalism as it follows the life of a group of youngsters for a while in a slum called Annawadi near Mumbai's Sahar airport.
May 29, 2012
Brilliant narrationI agree. The unfortunate story of deprivation and poverty surrounding the luxury enjoyed by a few in India is an ubiquitous truth every Indian is aware of. What is uncommon is the way in which the narrative has been structured. It does not focus on the poverty or the deprivation. It gives respect to the individual. In a land overflooded with billions, an individual's story is often tramped over in favour of a collective, especially if the individual belongs to cattle class. But kudos to Boo's brilliance, her narrative has brought about the pathos of the individual into focus while describing a… (Expand)

Its not something Indians don't know aboutThis is the true narrative of people in a Mumbai slum called Annawadi. While this may be something new or shocking from a westerner's point of view, I think every Indian knows this story. We hear it in our everyday news reports, we see it in the daily lives of lesser privileged people around us. I guess the motive of this book is to make people sensitive to the issue of poverty and the cycle of corruption and greed, but like I said its not that we Indians are not aware of the issue, its just that we turn a blind eye and do nothing about it. And in that respect I think this book will only serve… (Expand)

An emotional account of the 'black and white' city that is MumbaiI picked up this book at the Mumbai airport bookstore and read the first couple of chapters at the platinum lounge waiting for a delayed flight. The irony began here.

Feb 25, 2012
If you know MumbaiThis book does give an non-mumbaikar a much better view of what happens in the financial hub of the country. Good insights but at times becomes repetitive to an extent one is wondering if we are reading some people's short essays of depressions and voyeuristic views or is it a story about triumph over adversity. Well neither are expected with a reader left to keep visualizing oneself in the setting. My only suggestion to all buyers of this book is to tread it with some caution while it does have a great literary content.

The following blog post is from Erin Bzymek, Press Secretary for the BlueGreen Alliance.
Here we are, at the culminating moment of months of debate on some of the most important issues of the day. Where we go from here on climate change, American manufacturing, energy, transportation policy and our infrastructure will undoubtedly shape the economy well beyond the next four years.
Economic indicators are finally beginning to show positive growth trends, rather than just occasional good news. Thirty-two consecutive months of private sector job growth along with third quarter real GDP growth up to 2% from 1.3% in the previous quarter are both nothing to scoff at. We're at the tipping point however. Moving forward, we can either rev the engines of economic growth with policies like those in the Recovery Act or threaten to run out of gas.
To begin with, clean energy jobs have had a positive influence on the speed and expanse of the economic recovery. Solar and wind energy in particular have shown significant growth. The solar industry now employs 119,016 Americans up 13.2 percent in the total number of solar jobs from last year. The solar industry is growing 5.75 times faster than the economy as a whole.
Likewise, the wind industry has demonstrated significant growth over the past few years but Congress's failure to renew the critical Production Tax Credit (PTC) threatens not only future growth in this economic sector but also thousands of existing jobs. In order to realize the full potential of the PTC's benefits, both the Advanced Energy Project Credit (48C) and the Investment Tax Credit for offshore wind must also be up and running.
The success of the solar and wind industries has had a ripple effect across the economy. Made possible in part to meet the demand of the growing wind and solar industries and the auto recovery, growth in the manufacturing sector continues to gain momentum. Auto production is up and so are vehicle sales. Elsewhere in the world, manufacturing recently contracted slightly.
Capturing even more economic growth can't depend only on increasing clean energy production; we must also look to investments that we should have already made. Cleaning up our aging water supply and related infrastructure and streamlining transportation systems both have tremendous potential to create thousands more jobs and provide necessary reinforcement to existing infrastructure. For example, investment in water infrastructure programs will create thousands of jobs through the replacement and upgrade of pipelines, treatment plants, storage tanks, and the installation of green infrastructure projects. In addition, the infrastructure that transports our energy needs to be updated to be more efficient, through smart grid and other technologies.
Overall we have made substantial gains in building a robust clean energy economy across the country, but in order to ensure America's leadership and tradition of innovation there's more work to be done. Looking ahead, increasing investments in transportation, manufacturing, or clean energy must be part of any economic growth equation.
Without a doubt, job growth in these important industries has strengthened the foundation of the economy over the past few years. Now we must continue to build on that foundation to put more people back to work and reinvest in America's global competitiveness.

The Federal Open Market Committee has once again reiterated the proverbial "extended" remark, regarding leaving the target interest rate unchanged in the range of zero to 0.25 percent. The Fed in its June 23 meeting kept the benchmark rate at this level, where it has remained since December 2008. and any hope for a change in language will have to wait for yet another meeting. The "extended period," however, provides little insight into when the Fed will actually move rates. It is becoming more likely that the first rate increase is about a year away. This expectation revolves around several factors. These include:

Contact: Courtney Lewis
On the 700th Anniversary of the Encounter, Historian Tony Mullis Explores the Pivotal Battle of Bannockburn
This fall, Scottish citizens will vote on whether their country will leave the United Kingdom and declare its full independence.
But exactly 700 years ago, their ancestors declared their freedom in a less peaceful manner - dealing the British a bloody, pivotal defeat on the battlefield.
Tony Mullis, a military historian at the U.S. Army Command and General Staff College at Fort Leavenworth, discusses The Battle of Bannockburn on Tuesday, June 24, 2014, at 6:30 p.m. at the Central Library, 14 W. 10th St.
In 1314, English King Edward II led an army north to quell the rebellious Scots and their king, Robert Bruce. They clashed at Bannockburn on June 24, and the Scottish side prevailed despite being outnumbered 2-1 and forcing England to formally concede the Scots' independence.
Admission to the event is free. A 6 p.m. reception precedes it. RSVP at kclibrary.orgor call 816.701.3407. Free parking is available at the Library District parking garage at 10th & Baltimore.

Hey Kim Jong Il, Seoul Is Now Taking Names
The violations of human and civil rights by North Korea's authoritarian government are well-known.
North Korean citizens still lack basic freedoms, including freedom of speech, religion, the press and travel. They cannot start businesses nor earn money independently, though many try. They can be arrested and detained without trial, and sent to gulag-style prison camps where they are starved and forced to work in harsh conditions.
The stories of North Koreans' experiences in such conditions have been long been recorded and conveyed by journalists, charities and other non-government organizations. But now, the National Human Rights Commission of Korea has created an official record.
On Tuesday, the commission opened the North Korean Human Rights Documentation Center and Archive in Seoul. More than 20 people—including survivors of North Korean gulags and relatives of South Koreans killed by the North's bombing of a Korean Air flight in the 1980s—lined up to tell their stories.
"This is the first national effort by the government of Korea to document the human rights violations of the North Korean government," said Won Jae-chun, a director-general at the commission.
The center is modeled on one created by West Germany in 1961 to collect and preserve stories of human rights abuses in East Germany. That archive collected information on more than 41,000 cases, putting public pressure on the East German government and serving as a reference to develop human rights policies after the reunification of East and West Germany.
The South Korean commission said it aims to use the data it gathers from victims as a tool for social integration and compensation after the Koreas unify, presumably under South Korean-led democratic rule. It said the records will also become an "essential resource for administering criminal and civil remedy" for human rights violations.
For many observers and human rights activists, the South Korean government's involvement in the issue is overdue.
South Koreans have long been divided over how to handle the North's atrocities, a division that is reflected in the South's politics and media.
Left-wing politicians and media tend to not to mention the human-rights abuses in the North for fear that doing so will upset their efforts to work with the North's regime on inter-Korean relations, while right-wing politicians and media feel no such constraint. The situation has created an odd paradox: South Korea's leftist politicians and media played a key role in the democratization of South but say little about bringing democracy to the North.
That divide was reflected in the newspaper coverage of the opening of the documentation center. Korean newspapers that are considered right-wing wrote about it, while newspapers that are considered left-wing did not.
The human rights commission is an independent body of the government but its leader is a presidential appointee. President Lee Myung-bak has taken a harder line with North Korea than his two immediate predecessors, insisting on a scaledown of the North's pursuit of nuclear weapons as reciprocity for the South's economic aid, for instance. As a result, the commission's move into documenting North Korean abuses is less surprising under the Lee government than previous administrations.
Even so, Mr. Won said that the commission's documentation center should not be subject to political pressure. He noted that while left-wing news media didn't write about the commissions archive center, they also didn't criticize it.
"When it comes to North Korea human rights issues, South Korea society is slowly coming to a common consensus," Mr. Won said.

Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation (GHMC) Monday demolished a building belonging to Ravindernath Reddy, maternal uncle of YSR Congress party chief Y.S. Jaganmohan Reddy in posh Jubliee Hills neighborhood here.
Acting on a court direction, GHMC officials razed the two-storey building constructed on a piece of land allegedly encroached by Ravindernath Reddy, who is former mayor of Kadapa and brother-in-law of former chief minister Y.S. Rajasekhara Reddy.
The municipal workers demolished the structure which came up on 475 square yards in Krishna Nagar area.
Neeraja Rao, who claims to be the owner of the land, said the officials acted only after the court passed the orders for demolition though it was proved in 2010 that the building was built illegally.
She alleged that Ravindernath Reddy started construction despite the court order in June 2008 in their favour. She also claimed to have received threatening calls from Ravindernath Reddy in the past.
Neeraja Rao said when she approached Jaganmohan Reddy, he refused to help and ask her to fight it legally.

UPDATE: "The Flash" Hasn't Cast Savitar, Says Berlanti
TV, Comic Books
Speaking of Disney, they announced on their Disney Parks Blog that Captain EO, the 3-D film starring Michael Jackson and directed by Francis Ford Coppola, will return to Disneyland in February for a limited engagement.
There was a lot of buzz back in September about the movie potentially returning to the park. Attendees at the D23 convention expected an announcement during the theme park presentation, based on the buzz we heard in the audience, and they were disappointed when that didn't happen.
Captain EO played at Disneyland from 1986 to 1997, when it was replaced by Honey I Shrunk the Audience. There's no word yet on how long the "limited engagement" will run.
Why was it called Captain "EO"? Was his name based on the sound MJ made when he screamed after a pose?
Can't wait <3
Mj Rocks ! RIP <3
"There was a lot of buzz back in September…" The MiceAge site first reported on this July 28th.
Oh no, please don't bring back the Perv. How about some thing new
Exactly, netalff… I never saw Captain EO (you couldn't have paid me to see it), but from what I understand it was pretty lame. I can only imagine how poorly it holds up more than two decades later. Hell… I've seen what replaced it (Honey, I Shrunk the Audience) and that hasn't aged well at all. Disney needs to upgrade to new stuff, both in Anaheim and Orlando. Muppets 3D is another attraction that needs to go, or at least be replaced by a new, better Muppets film.
Soarin' (for instance) started out in California and was just recently added in Florida. Great attraction, we went on it several times when we were at Disney World last year. Toy Story Mania was another fun new attracion, but we only got to go on that once due to the massive lines (it had just opened when we were there).
Besides, Jackson was a total perv and a headcase… Is that really the image Disney wants to celebrate?
Yeah, I guess you guys are right. Trying to change the world through song and dance 'is so lame' but continuing to abuse the planet works right? You never saw the movie? And nobody could have paid you to see it? It wasn't even about Mike. It was about changing the planet. Get over yourselves thinking you know it all. Everything about Mike was about changing the planet and making it better. Even the cover of the comic says that much. But Im sure the people you follow are doing a whole lot to change the planet right? JayZ Im sure, or how about That one dumb a$$ who got shot what was his name? Oh yeah, 2Pac…. bunch of lame gangsters preaching violence and murder and drugs. In this world that is what is cool; harming people and the planet, right? Not trying to help the planet and help our fellow man. You people are the rush of humanity that ensures our kind will not survive ourselves. I just hope its you and your kind who go first and not the people who have class and something to offer the planet.
As far as the movie goes, I AM THRILLED MICHAEL WILL BE HONORED IN THIS WAY. GOD BLESS YOU MICHAEL, AND GOD BLESS THE JACKSON FAMILY.

KABUL: Afghanistan's feuding presidential candidates signed a deal yesterday to form a national unity government, opening an apparent way forward in a dispute over the fraud-tainted election that threatens to revive ethnic conflict.
Ashraf Ghani and Abdullah Abdullah vowed to work together whoever becomes president after an ongoing audit of all eight million votes finally declares the winner of the June 14 election.
US Secretary of State John Kerry, visiting Kabul to mediate an end to the impasse, welcomed the deal as a major advance in bringing Afghanistan back from the brink of political chaos as US-led Nato troops withdraw.
But an earlier deal brokered by Kerry last month soon frayed due to disagreements between the candidates, and attention will focus on whether all their supporters accept the latest pact.
The risk of spiralling instability has loomed large in Afghanistan since Abdullah refused to accept preliminary results that put Ghani ahead, accusing his rival of stealing the election by massive ballot-box stuffing.
"Today (we) have taken another step forward in the interests of strengthening national unity... and also to bring hope for the better future for the people of Afghanistan," Abdullah said, standing beside Ghani and Kerry.
"We are committed to working together on the basis of our common vision for the future of our country."
The signed text admitted Afghanistan was "in one of the most politically sensitive periods of its history" due to the contested outcome of an election that should herald the country's first democratic transfer of power.
"We trust each other," Ghani said. "We will work with each other to fulfil this national duty and obligation for every Afghan.

I am sure a lot of you can understand that when I see in a recipe that it calls for shortening I don't read any further. I absolutely refused to buy a can of Crisco. For that matter, I seriously try to avoid any product that contains any partially-hydrogenated oils.
However, I think I may have found a good solution. During my visit to Fresh Fields this weekend, I came across "Spectrum Naturals Organic Shortening" - a big container of organic vegetable shortening that consists purely of 100% Organic mechanically pressed palm oil. It contains no hydrogenated oils. I know palm oil isn't the best for you, but it is certainly better than Crisco.
Although I won't use a ton of it, I think this could be a good product for those occasional CL recipes that call for shortening. Do any of you have experience with this product? Any thoughts?

This piece originally appeared on ChinaFAQs.org.
China's Climate Change Minister Xie Zhenhua offered a new phrase to emphasize the importance of technologies to reduce carbon in a speech at a major international conference on Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) in Beijing, July 27.
Minister Xie said that China's energy and environment policies support "energy efficiency and carbon reduction" (jieneng jiantan). This is a modification of the phrase used to support the national policy of "energy efficiency and pollution reduction" (jieneng jianpai), which addresses the broad range of pollutants. Based on a number of signals, including these phrases and the day's speeches, it seems that China's interest in CCS is increasing. These developments occurred at the conference sponsored by Xie's own National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC) and the Asian Development Bank (ADB).

The Mississippi Manufacturers Association, National Federation of Independent Business, and Business and Industry Political Education Committee (BIPEC) announced Monday their endorsement of state Rep. Greg Snowden, who is seeking re-election in House District 83.
They say Snowden has been fiscally responsible during his three terms, opposing higher taxes, over-spending and regulation that impedes the creation of jobs.
"The legislature can't create jobs; private sector does that. But the legislature can promote the types of policies that will, in fact, bring jobs. And that's what these groups here understand. Because even though the legislature cannot create jobs, other than in the government sector, the legislature certainly can kills jobs with the wrong kind of policies."
BIPEC grades all legislators on business-related issues. Based on the legislator's votes, it issues a grade. Snowden received an 'A'.
Snowden has also been endorsed by Enterprise Mayor Larry Murray, Stonewall Mayor Jackie McHenry, and Quitman Mayor Eddie Fulton.
Two others are running for the House District 83 seat are Democrat Gary Houston and Independent, Sam Thompson.

A Must Read - Share
Sony head of Worldwide Studios Shuhei Yoshida is a gregarious, smart, talkative interviewee. And that's exactly why it was so weird that he fully waffled when we asked him to address whether or not the newly unveiled PlayStation 4 will play used games. "That's my expectation, that PS4 games will work on [the] hardware. That's my expectation," he told us in an interview this morning. When we pushed to clarify what he meant, Yoshida stuttered. "Ummm ... yeah. We have to really name our system services to explain more about it," he added. That's a similar answer to what he told Eurogamer last

HAMPTON — Fresh off its 21-13 victory over Bedford in last Saturday's Division II championship game, the Winnacunnet High School football team placed 10 players on the league's All-State team that was revealed on Tuesday.
The Warriors, who captured their first state championship in 12 years, also had eight players named Honorable Mention.

On defense, the Warriors named to the All-State team were senior lineman Renaldo Gordon, senior lineman Jordan Cutting, senior linebacker Nyles Makarewicz-Connor and senior defensive back Ben Gareau.

Beverly resident Lori Daniels says one of her favorite sayings is "Christmas cookies and holiday hearts is how the season really starts." And she believes there is no better place than the kitchen to share holiday fun.
A visit to Daniel's kitchen offers tantalizing aromas, sweet memories and laughter of friends and family from homemade cookies, candies and festive holiday decorations.
Daniels said baking has always been a true passion for her, and Christmas is her favorite time of year.

A plate of homemade, decorated cookies makes a heartfelt gift during the holidays. Lori Daniels shares her baked goodies with her daughters' teachers, friends, relatives and co-workers. Daniels said to be sure to use real butter for cookies that are tender, allow plenty of chill time and do not overwork dough.

Lori Daniels and daughter Hannah bake and decorate cookies to share with family and friends. Daniels bakes at least 30 dozen cookies each season for gifts. She also makes holiday jams, jellies and cocoa mixes to include in holiday gifts.
The Inter-Mountain photo by Beth Christian Broschart
Daniels has been baking since she was 12 years old. She enjoys sharing her homemade items with others because it makes her happy to see their faces light up when they receive a gift.
"One thing that gets me in the holiday spirit is listening to Christmas carols while baking cookies and seeing the snow softly falling," Daniels said. "I start baking in early December and bake every week till Christmas."
Daniels said her family gathers for their "Cookie Express". They don Christmas hats, put on holiday music and bake for hours to fill the many tins and baskets that are awaiting.
"My family and I roll out, shape and decorate cookies and candies by the hundreds; sometimes making 10 to 12 different kinds," Daniels said. "Most of those will be given away."
Daniels said she tries to add new cookies each year.
"I am always trying new things and I will experiment with a recipe by changing amounts of ingredients or using different flavors," she said. "I like to see what works best and what my family likes."
Daniels said her mother started her baking when she was 12 years old.
"I like to use my Taste of Home magazines and cookbooks because they have no-fail recipes, easy directions and a picture of the finished product," Daniels said. "I have been a field editor for Taste of Home magazine for over 10 years."
Almost all of the goodies Daniels prepares are given as gifts. She said she and her mother collect colorful tins, boxes, and mugs for gift giving.
"Cookies, candy, teas, books, jams, jellies, coffees, teas and hot cocoa mixes are wonderful to partner together as a gift," Daniels said. "Nothing says homemade with love quite like a basket of sweet rolls or biscuits with homemade jam or jelly."
Christmas morning at the Daniels home always features a sweet bread or rolls with farm fresh-eggs. For dinner, she plans a small family gathering and serves glazed ham, scalloped potatoes and pumpkin spice casserole. Everyone who comes brings a dish to share.
"Food is an expression of love and an extension of yourself," Daniels said. "Sharing that love at this wonderful Christmas season brings joy to those who receive and to the giver as well."

I've had NICs refuse to transfer packets when they got too hot. Perhaps
this hardware is simply bad.
It's not unheard of for NICs to get angry if the cable is flaky, too
(though, I'd expect it to log these expressions of anger.) May as well
check to make sure your cables are sound. For example, what if you
simply swap the cables from dc0 to dc1? If dc0 starts to act up, it's a
link problem at the cable.

An investigation continues in southeast Missouri after a live grenade and bomb-making materials were found inside a home, authorities said.
KFVS-TV reported that the Pemiscot County Sheriff's Department received a call Saturday about an intoxicated person, leading them to a home in Wardell. That's where sheriff's deputies said they found a live grenade, bomb-making materials, drugs and several weapons.
Sheriff Tommy Greenwell said 48-year-old Harold Kentner was arrested. He is facing several charges and is jailed with $200,000 bail set.
Kentner's wife said her husband isn't dangerous and never intended to cause harm.
