- A European art movement
and style that developed between
1520 and 1600. It was a style that rejected the calm balance
of the High Renaissance
in favor of emotion and
distortion. Works of art
done in this style reflected the tension that marked Europe at
this time in history.
Examples of works done in this style:
Michelangelo (Italian, 1475-1564), Tomb of Giuliano de'Medici, 1526-1534, marble, San Lorenzo, Cappella Medicea, Florence. In the niche is the statue of Giuliano Duke of Nemours who died in 1561. Below this, reclining on Giuliano's sarcophagus, are sculptures of Night (Notte) and Day (Giorno).
Night (La Notte) [detail], marble, length of the entire figure 76 3/8 inches, 24 3/4 inches deep.
Day (Il Giorno), marble, length 72 3/4 inches (185 cm), 34 1/4 inches deep.
Michelangelo, Tomb of Lorenzo de'Medici, marble, San Lorenzo, Cappella Medicea, Florence. This includes a statue of Lorenzo, Duke of Urbino, who died in 1519, and of the allegoric figures of Twilight and Aurora. Lorenzo is 70 1/8 inches in height, 26 3/4 inches wide, 28 3/4 inches deep.
Twilight (Il Crepuscolo) [detail], marble, the entire figure's length 76 3/4 inches, 31 1/2 inches deep.
Dawn (L'Aurora), c. 1515, marble, length 81 inches, depth 24 3/8 inches. [details of the head of Twilight: one and another.]
Jacopo Carrucci da Pontormo (Italian, Florence, 1494-1557), Halberdier (Francesco Guardi?), about 1528 - 1530, oil (or oil and tempera) on panel transferred to canvas, 36 1/4 x 28 3/8 inches (92 x 72 cm), J. Paul Getty Museum, Malibu, CA.
Attributed to Jacopo Carrucci da Pontormo, Madonna and Child with Two Angels, c. 1525, oil on linden wood panel, 40 1/4 x 31 inches, Legion of Honor, San Francisco.

It seems that the former Eagles star turned washed-up indoor footballer, Terrell Owens, has been caught in a salacious sex scandal with none other than himself. TMZ reports that T.O.'s new career change could land him in the triple-x arena, in which he'd play the sole lead.
The one-man-show was reportedly caught "having fun with himself" on Skype by a woman he met through Twitter. TMZ reports that the unidentified woman snagged some pretty graphic screen-shots during one of their sexually cyber encounters. She's since forwarded the pics to various media outlets in an effort to make some cash (no, we have not seen the pictures, but apparently they are VERY revealing).
So, remember when T.O. said "I'm going to work with T.O. and only T.O." ? Turns out he wasn't kidding.

text: A wake on LAN request is used by a computer as a means of connecting to a computer that is shut down. The computer will send specially formatted messages to the intended computer which is identified by its MAC address and IP address. This task is accomplished as although the target machine is powered off, its motherboard provides enough power to the network adapter to attend to the WoL request.The WoL targeted computer needs to be connected via Ethernet to the network in order for the process to work. No other means of networking (wireless, Wi-Fi) will suffice as an alternative. However any computer connected by any means of networking can issue a WoL request. The requirements are that the computer needs to have the specific application software (for example business network use enterprise software). Individual user can download standalone software from the internet.So basically for WoL to work, the receiving computer must be equipped with wired Ethernet, an IP address and the OS should be configured to receive the requests and run them. (Windows has this option on the adapters properties page, and the computer usually shuts down if it remains inactive for longer than two mins).

Boston Tops Capitals, 4-3, SO
Thursday, 03.15.2007 / 12:00 AM ET / News
By John Bishop - BostonBruins.com
Boston - The Boston Bruins defeated the Washington Capitals 4-3 Thursday night in the TD Banknorth Garden. Washington's Chris Clark completed a natural hat trick in the second period to put the Bruins in a 3-0 hole. But Marco Sturm, Brandon Bochenski and Patrice Bergeron all scored power play goals to tie the game 3-3 and send the game to OT. Rookie Phil Kessel scored the game-deciding goal in the shootout to give Boston the 4-3 win.
"You know what? We got a win," said Kessel when asked about his goal. "That's all that matters."
Veteran sniper Marc Savard agreed with the rookie.
"Any comeback win is huge for the team's confidence," said Savard. "I've always said the character in this room…is strong and we proved it again, tonight."
Even before the puck dropped, the building displayed a truly festive atmosphere as the club celebrated St. Patrick's Day a little early, and distributed green ball caps with the Spoked-B and invited a U2 cover band (The Joshua Tree) to serenade the Garden throughout the proceedings.
But Washington sought to spoil the party and the Capitals jumped out to a 2-0 lead over Boston in the first period, bookending the stanza with a pair of Chris Clark goals.
Clark, the Washington captain, resurrected a long forgotten ECAC rivalry when he scored at 1:21 against Thomas, who played his college hockey at the University of Vermont. Clark, a South Windsor, Connecticut native, who toiled in college for the Clarkson Golden Knights, added another goal against his old UVM nemesis at 19:44.
Olaf Kolzig, in the Washington net, was outstanding in his first period back from injury, did not belie any rustiness and stopped all eleven shots that Boston sent towards his crease in the initial session.
The second period was fairly nondescript until the middle of the stanza when the physical part of the game took center stage. Andrew Alberts took on Matt Bradley in a battle near center ice at 11:15. Then just seconds later, Bruins forward Chuck Kobasew ignited the partisan crowd when he checked Shaone Morrisonn over the sideboards and into his own bench.
But Washington's Clark took back any momentum gained by the fight and the check when he completed the natural hat trick, the second three-goal game of his career, at 16:03.
"I played against him in college," said Bruins goalie Tim Thomas, who after the victory, his 30th of the season, was able to chuckle. "He didn't have that shot in college."
With a two-man advantage, Sturm gave the home crowd something to cheer about at 18:24, as he finally bested Kolzig with help from Bergeron and Savard, and the B's went to the locker room trailing 3-1.
At the 30-second mark of the third period, on the power play, Bochenski scored his 12th of the season to make the score 3-2 with over 19 minutes to go in regulation. Then Bergeron added another power play goal to tie the score 3-3 at 1:35.
"To be able to turn it around in the middle of the game and to dig…back out of that hole is a good accomplishment," said Thomas, who finished with 36 saves in regulation.
"That comeback in the third period was awesome," said Bergeron, echoing Thomas' statements.
With a new game in the third stanza, the game got very tight and went to overtime in a deadlock and despite a late flurry in the OT, moved on to a shootout.
Boston's Bergeron and Washington's Ovechkin traded goals in the penalty shot contest, which set up Boston's "closer" Kessel.
"He's like Rivera from the Yankees," said Savard. "We put him in there late and there is a 90% chance he is going to give us the win."
Kessel beat Kolzig in the shootout to send the B's to the showers victorious.
"It feels good to get a win," repeated Kessel. "I just went out there and did my best.
"I got lucky, though. He is a great goalie. I was fortunate to put it in the net."
Kessel and the Bruins will try to take that luck (of the Irish?) to New York City on Saturday, St. Patrick's Day, to face off against the Rangers in Madison Square Garden.

MORGANTOWN, (AP) - The final touchdown pass drew only a slight fist pump from Collin Klein. It was still the third quarter, but Milan Puskar Stadium was half-empty. Most of the West Virginia fans had seen enough of a game that had turned into a Heisman Trophy campaign ad for the Kansas State quarterback.
Klein threw for a career-high 323 yards and three touchdowns and ran for four scores as No. 4 Kansas State got little resistance from No. 17 West Virginia in a 55-14 victory Saturday night.
The Wildcats (7-0, 4-0 Big 12) made it look easy. Klein completed 19 of 21 passes and added 41 yards rushing.

The Inter-Mountain photo by John Wickline
Kansas State quarterback Collin Klein (7) sends a pass downfield over the outstretched hands of WVU's Terence Garvin (28) and despite pressure from WVU's Josh Francis (4). Klein threw for three touchdowns and ran for four more in the Wildcats' 55-14 win over the Mountaineers Saturday in Morgantown.
"I think we all felt comfortable tonight," he said. "The coaches did a great job of building a game plan and putting us in positions to succeed."
No doubt. The Wildcats scored on their first eight possessions, including seven straight touchdowns.
"He doesn't do anything wrong," West Virginia coach Dana Holgorsen said of Klein. "He's hard to tackle. He gets them in good plays. He doesn't turn the ball over. You can say what you want to about the throwing motion, but it goes exactly where he wants it go. He's a good football player."
Way too good for West Virginia to stop.
It was no surprise the Mountaineers (5-2, 2-2) were awful on defense - it's been that way all season. For the second straight game, though, Geno Smith and the offense did nothing to keep it close.
Smith followed up a clunker at Texas Tech last week with an even worse game, throwing his first two interceptions of the season and finishing 21 of 32 for 143 yards. The senior has gone from Heisman Trophy front-runner to long shot in two weeks.
"We talked about it all week. Don't get impatient. Don't get impatient," Holgorsen said. "You have the ball a couple of times and you look up there and you're down 17 points and you start pressing. It's inevitable.
"We're trying to score 14 points in one play."
Kansas State made it 52-7 with 2:25 left in the third quarter when Klein hit Tyler Lockett over the middle for a 20-yard score. Klein turned toward his sideline and gave a modest shake of his fist before joining his teammates to celebrate. It was the fourth time this season the Wildcats had scored in the 50s.
By that point a long line of cars was creeping out of the parking lot. The only section of the stadium that was still filled was covered in KSU purple.
"I was certainly pleased with the way that our youngsters approached the ballgame, the preparation for the game and how they traveled," said Bill Snyder, whose remarkable 21-year, two-act career as Kansas State coach is only missing a national championship. "I was proud of how they kept their focus. We played great."
The optimism and excitement that was pumping through Morgantown a couple of weeks ago is gone.
In Manhattan, Kan., it's all good, and everything is on the table for Snyder's team. The Wildcats are the only unbeaten squad in the Big 12. Their quarterback is the Heisman front-runner. And with five games left on the schedule, the Wildcats are serious national title contenders.
The first meeting since 1931 of the new Big 12 rivals was so lopsided that by the time it was over it was hard to even remember that it started as a battle for first place in the conference.
On one side was Klein, aka Optimus Klein, the Wildcats' methodical battering ram, whose passes don't look like much, but usually find their target.
On the other side was Smith, the future NFL first-round draft pick with the video game passing statistics.
But Klein got to face West Virginia's beleaguered defense, which ranks near the bottom of the Big 12 and the country in just about every statistic.
With the Mountaineers seemingly determined to at least stop the run early, Klein completed his first seven passes, including a 10-yard touchdown that Lockett made a stretching, toe-dragging catch on in the back corner of the end zone. That made it 10-0 in the first.
The K-State running game went to work on the third drive and Klein finished it off with a 1-yard plunge.
Klein made it 24-0 on the next Kansas State drive, taking an option keeper 8 yards. That gave him 39 rushing touchdowns over the last two seasons to break an FBS record held by Eric Crouch of Nebraska and Stacey Robinson of Northern Illinois.

text: No part of the country was more resistant to the pursuit of racial equality than Mississippi. For decades, it fought bitterly to maintain white supremacy at all costs. Remarkably although the state was rife with violence and murder, Mississippi served as a platform for movement mobilization and participation. The "Mississippi Civil Rights Project" offers a basic, skeletal history of the struggle for freedom in each of Mississippi's 82 counties. Through historical narratives, documents and a set of oral histories, the site chronicles both the extraordinary efforts of local people who organized to combat the entrenched system of Jim Crow segregation, as well as the complex network of white resistance that tried to maintain it. This is an ongoing project so data and documents will be added as they become available. As the project develops, this site will enable teachers and students to expand these histories, through local research.

TV Ratings: 'House' finale rises, but Monday viewers prefer 'Dancing,' 'Talent'
'American Ninja Warrior' helps NBC win Monday in the demo
A good number of departed "House" fans returned to say farewell to the cantankerous doctor, but the FOX finale wasn't able to threaten ABC's grasp on Monday overall or NBC's less assertive hold on the night's young viewers.
Among other highlights from the already-repeat-filled last Monday of the season: "America's Got Talent" slipped in the second Monday of the Howard Stern Era, though that was probably related to the "Dancing with the Stars" finale bump, and while "Talent" gave "American Ninja Warrior" a sturdy lead-in, the summer reality competition squandered viewers with each half-hour.
For the night, NBC averaged a 2.6 rating among adults 18-49, edging out ABC's 2.5 rating and the 2.4 rating for FOX in the key demographic. CBS was a distant fourth with a 1.5 rating, while The CW averaged only a 0.2 key demo rating.
Overall, though, ABC won comfortably, averaging an estimated 10.63 million viewers and a 7.1 rating/11 share. FOX was a distant second with a 4.6/7 and 7.42 million viewers, nipping the 7.23 million and 4.1/7 for NBC. Fourth place went to CBS With 3.7/6 and 5.71 million viewers. The CW averaged 563,000 viewers and a 0.4/1.
[Univision averaged 3.86 million viewers and a 1.5 rating among adults 18-49 for Monday primetime.]
8 p.m. - "Dancing with the Stars" began primetime in first for ABC with 16.45 million viewers, coming in second among adults 18-49 with a 2.8 rating. NBC's "America's Got Talent" was first in the key demographic with a 3.1 rating and second overall with 9.53 million viewers. FOX's pre-finale "House" retrospective was with with 6.145 million viewers and a 2.0 key demo rating, far ahead of the 4.37 million viewers and 1.4 key demo rating averaged by CBS' repeats of "How I Met Your Mother" and "2 Broke Girls." The CW's repeat of the "One Tree Hill" finale averaged 602,000 viewers and a 0.3 key demo rating.
9 p.m. - FOX moved into first for the 9 p.m. hour with nearly 8.7 million viewers and a 2.9 rating among adults 18-49 for the finale of "House," which came in far below the drama's glory numbers, but also far exceeded the show's season averages. ABC's "The Bachelorette" was second with 8.38 million viewers and a 2.5 key demo rating. CBS repeats of "Two and a Half Men" and "Mike & Molly" averaged 6.78 million viewers for third and a 1.8 key demo rating for fourth. The first hour of "American Ninja Warrior" on NBC did 6.62 million viewers and a 2.5 key demo, still respectable despite drops. The CW's "One Tree Hill" slipped to 524,000 viewers and a 0.2 key demo rating.
10 p.m. - ABC's "The Bachelorette" claimed Monday's final primetime hour with 7.07 million viewers and a 2.3 rating among adults 18-49. CBS' "Clash of the Commercials" was second overall with 5.98 million viewers and third in the key demographic with a 1.4 rating. NBC's "American Ninja Warrior" averaged 5.54 million viewers and a 2.2 key demo rating in its second hour.
All ratings information comes from preliminary Fast National Nielsen data, which includes live and same-day DVR viewing. All numbers are subject to change.

From Adviser Guide:
Succession Planning
Q: How do you create a culture that retains talent?
Reward and recognition are the key drivers here - identifying talent and rewarding it accordingly.
Reward and recognition are the key drivers here - identifying talent and rewarding it accordingly - but this does not have to be a monetary reward, according to Keith Richards, distribution and development director of Tenet.
Mr Richards said he could be offering further development opportunities such as the chance to increase qualifications, a new job title or other benefits.
Mr Richards said: "We aim to have a culture that is high performing and is not restricted by skills or knowledge."
In Succession's experience, particularly in the run-up to the Retail Distribution Review (RDR), Tim Parsons, business transition director of Succession Advisory Services, said there was a considerable element of "build it and they will come".
There are many firms which lack direction, he added.
Often Mr Parsons said he found there were a number of disaffected advisers and support staff within such organisations, frustrated at the lack of vision and strategy.
A well run, properly managed business can attract new, high quality staff, simply by being well run and managed, he added.
Mr Parsons said: "Darwin would have had a field day – there is real evidence of adaption to take advantage of change and we are seeing the fittest survive."

AUGUSTA, Maine (AP) — A Democratic-backed measure that aims to prevent $40 million in cuts in state aid to cities and towns cleared the Maine House and Senate on Thursday, sending the bill to Gov. Paul LePage, despite concerns from Republican lawmakers that the measure is fiscally irresponsible and being pushed through the Legislature too quickly.
The Republican governor's office says a veto is likely, but that he will examine the bill when it hits his desk. Democrats on Thursday urged the governor to support the measure they say will aid communities that are already hurting from years of cuts.
"We hope he'll do the right thing," Democratic Rep. Peggy Rotundo, co-chair of the Appropriations Committee and sponsor of the measure, said after the House approved it in a 120-7 vote Thursday. "The communities are in crisis and our failure to act on this will create spikes in property taxes and our local communities and create cuts to firefighters and first responders and police. We owe it to our communities to keep our promise to them."
The $40 million in revenue sharing for next fiscal year would be paid for through $21 million from the rainy day fund — leaving that fund with about $38 million — as well as $4 million from savings set aside for future income tax decreases and new revenue the state is expected to get.
The administration says taking funds from the state's rainy day fund will damage its bond credit rating and that doing so will leave Maine only enough money to fund the state for three days in an emergency. LePage spokeswoman Adrienne Bennett said earlier this week that the governor will not sign off on any new bonds if the Legislature approves a measure that dips into the rainy day fund.
City mayors and town managers, who've faced significant cuts to revenue sharing over the last several years, have been heavily lobbying lawmakers to approve the measure. The Maine Municipal Association is running television ads, asking residents to urge their representatives to approve the bill. Without this extra money, the municipalities will receive only $20 million next year, the association has said.
Assistant Senate Republican Leader Roger Katz of Augusta introduced an amendment that would restore the $40 million in revenue sharing and give the state time to figure out how else it can be paid for, but it was rejected by Democrats. Katz, like many Republicans, says he fully supports restoring revenue sharing, but that the funding plan is a bad idea.
"We don't need to decide right now exactly how we need to pay for it," he said Thursday, pointing to the fact the revenue sharing would support towns' next fiscal year, which starts July 1. "Our stabilization fund is very low. We need to pay more attention to our credit rating."

Jonathan Sexton has called on Ireland's new generation of Test stars to begin demonstrating the consistency needed to prove they are worthy successors to household names such as Brian O'Driscoll and Paul O'Connell.
A mixed autumn, during which a frustrating defeat by South Africa was tempered by a record victory over Argentina, proved to be a transitional period as coach Declan Kidney delved deep into his playing resources to combat an injury crisis.
With the influential O'Driscoll, O'Connell, Rory Best, Stephen Ferris, Sean O'Brien and Rob Kearney lost to the treatment room, Kidney was forced to make an unprecedented number of changes.
Exciting talent like wing Craig Gilroy, second row Mike McCarthy and full-back Simon Zebo emerged to suggest the injuries were almost a blessing in disguise.
But Sexton insists their ambition must reach beyond playing for Ireland as the so called 'golden generation' of O'Driscoll and O'Connell enter their twilight years.
"Playing with guys like Brian O'Driscoll has been an honour for me and I'd put a lot of other players in that bracket; you learn so much from these guys," Sexton said.
"Those guys earned their reputations by producing in an Ireland jersey year in, year out, but it is time now for the younger guys to come in and start taking ownership of the team.
"The younger guys have produced on occasion but we haven't done it consistently and that's what we need to do now."
"People probably think I'm a new boy because I look about 15 but I'd say I'm somewhere in the middle" - Jonathan Sexton
Sexton, who made his debut in 2009 and has since accumulated 34 caps, is referring to himself as much as anyone when calling for players to impose themselves.
Test rugby has not been without its challenges for Sexton after a lengthy, and at times confidence-sapping, duel with O'Gara for the fly-half duties that at one stage left him repeatedly looking over his shoulder.
But O'Gara has been seen off - the 35-year-old now supplies support from the bench - with Sexton the most accomplished European in the position.
"People probably think I'm a new boy because I look about 15 but I'd say I'm somewhere in the middle," he said. "I've just turned 27 so it's up to people like me to take charge of the team.
"I found it hard when I first came in because Ronan O'Gara had been the outside-half in that team for 10 years.
"I wasn't sure whether the guys would listen to me in the same way they had listened to him. They are the kind of doubts you have when you come in."
Sexton's performances for Ireland and Leinster identify him as favourite for the Test number 10 jersey during the Lions tour to Australia this summer.
"The tour is something I desperately want to go on, but it's not worth thinking about right now," he added.
"I need to concentrate on my week-to-week performances. People say it's the pinnacle and it is.
"Only the best players get picked and it will be a massive honour for anyone who is picked."
Sexton will be shadowed throughout the Six Nations by speculation over his club career as he considers a lucrative move to France, with Racing Metro in pole position to sign a player who has won three Heineken Cups.
His contract at Leinster expires in the summer and with the Irish Rugby Football Union unable to match the £620,000 salary on offer from the big spending Top 14 outfit, he could be leaving for France next season.

When the Dow Jones gained ground on Monday night, investors felt it foretold good news for the Indian equity market. However, while the benchmark indices did gain ground on Tuesday, most of the intra-day gains were wiped off, as every rise was met with increased selling pressure.
Analysts said this is a sign of scepticism among investors who are still waiting for some concrete positive signals.
The benchmark Sensex and Nifty started the day on a strong note and dipped in the red only for a brief moment.

I'm a huge fan of this wine, for more than a few reasons.
It's a mostly-Bordeaux-style blend (called "meritage" (rhymes with "heritage") here in California), but there's this dollop of Syrah thrown in for good measure.
In general, I've found myself becoming a big fan of wine that, while officially from the Napa Valley, is not from the valley floor. One of my favorite Napa reds is Regusci's "Angelo's Vineyard" Hillside Cabernet Sauvignon from the eastern edge of the Stag's Leap AVA. I have adored just about everything I've ever tried from Howell Mountain. I'm even going to put that on my birthday list this year: if you want to get me wine, just get me something—anything—from Howell Mountain.
Mount Veeder, an appelation that hugs the Napa/Sonoma county line along the western edge of Napa Valley, is one I haven't been as familiar with. Most of my Napa Valley experience has been along the iconic St. Helena Highway (a.k.a. Highway 29) or the Silverado Trail, to the east. But that's simply going to have to change. I want more.
To this wine in particular, then. The 2007 Hess Collection Mount Veeder 19 Block Cuvee (whew!) is a gorgeous wine in the glass: a burgundy red core with just barely-lighter ruby edges. The nose shows off subtle, but apparent, fruit notes. Mostly blackberry and raspberry, but some plum as well. The nose more obviously shows off some earthier tones, tobacco, cedar, and cigar box. Very rich.
The wine is medium bodied, a bit lighter than I'd expected, but it shows off right away, with lush, supple tannins and a long, lingering finish. The palate is a bit fruitier than the nose, and some of the notes lighten slightly to cherry and strawberry, but everything is nuanced and in balance. There is structure here, structure like a nun running detention. Not to be trifled with.
This is really great wine. This is really, really easy to recommend wine. I'm a recent convert, but I'm going to be doing some more exploring of Mount Veeder, I can promise you that much.
Verdict: 91/100
Price Point: $36

More Cricket Lexicon
It's that time of the week again when we dip our grubby fingers into the still waters of the cricketing idiom and pluck from therein a mighty catch of words for our eyes to feast upon. Or to put it another way, here's more stuff from the Lexicon we are writing. Remember to put your submissions in the comments.
Malcolmspeed (n) - A self-induced imaginary world where everything is beautiful, works perfectly and there is no conflict. Usage - "Apple Computer's enthusiasts tell us that they live in a malcolmspeed, but I get as many glitches with those machines as with PCs".
Sarwan (v.t) - To replace a much loved and talented performer with a much inferior version. Usage - "When the producers sarwanned George Lazenby into the James Bond role, it was clear that Sean Connery was key to the franchise's success."
Hogg (n): an unexpected and unwanted incident leading to misfortune. Usage: "I was going along nicely in the race and then a hogg kicked up and hit me in the face and I lost all momentum." Tom Boonen after receiving a loose pebble on the helmet
Ramprakash (v. i.) - to show much promise at various stages, only to ultimately disappoint. Usage: "After 2 hours of buying her triple vodkas she finally agreed to come back to my place; we were then game on in the bedroom, only for her to ramprakash it by falling asleep whilst I was finding a condom." Mick Hucknall, 1998
Hick (v) - to perform brilliantly in low profile encounters, but fail miserably at the highest level. "And by missing that pink, Jimmy White has hicked his chances of the World Championship again." Clive Everton, 1992

text: Hi all! Im new to this forum and i would like some advice for setting mini milestones! A bit of background: I am 20, weigh 14 stone/200lbs and i am 5ft4. This is the heaviest i have ever been! In 2011, i was around 13st and managed to drop 3 stone in 3 months but stopped and quickly managed to put it on again plus a stone. I feel this happened because i thought oh ive lost a bit, may as well eat this and that and things spiralled and i have now ballooned to this weight. I want to go back to that routine and get to a healthy weight of 9 stone or even 8. I have noticed a lot of you have 'mini milestones' eg. get to bmi of 25, lose 10lbs. I was wondering how you guys decided on these mini goals? And did you set yourselfs time limits? Any kind of info would be great. Thank you! I look forward to talking to you lovely ladies (and guys!) and losing this chubb! X

Behind the Bench:11-9-09
Injuries also show you the mettle and character of your team. You never want guys to get hurt, but when players go down you have to turn it into a positive rather then letting it become a negative issue where people begin to start feeling sorry for each other. I never let injuries bring people down. We have had players come up from the American Hockey League and do a great job. Keith Aucoin and Alexandre Giroux have played well for us this year and now Mathieu Perreault is playing well for us. Those guys come in here and do the job.
Last year, we had four Hershey defenseman playing for us and we were winning. We had guys injured up here and those injuries gave other players an opportunity to do well. I don't like injuries, but if you dwell on them it will only make things worse.
Alex Ovechkin is definitely hard to replace, but this is where we as a coaching staff challenge the team. We are not a one-man team, and we don't want people to think of us as a one-man team even though we know how great he is. You manufacture goals and other people pick up the slack. Could we score at this rate for the next 10 games? Probably not. But for a couple of games, we can get away with it and we got away with it this past weekend.
I think this also gives a guy like Tomas Fleischmann a chance to show everyone how good he can be. He is bigger and stronger than he was last year. I am a big Fleischmann fan, and I know how good he can be. He is the player nobody knows about on our team, but he is a really good glue guy. He is responsible and is a top-six forward who can play both offensively and defensively and those guys are really hard to find.

"Essential Iraq War reading. . . . The conflict between Busch's pacifist upbringing and his evolution into a decorated Marine rests at the heart of this fine memoir." (Men's Journal)
"Beautifully written. . . . Captivating. . . . It's fascinating to journey through [these] literary landscapes as time passes, swirls back, and eddies like a stream before flowing away." (Seattle Times)
"A beautiful and powerful meditation on combat, profound loss, and mortality." (Newark Star Ledger)
"An invigorating and moving take on the war memoir." (Wisconsin State Journal)
"Busch writes with eloquence about his tours of combat in Iraq, and seamlessly blends the human and natural characteristics of war." (Minneapolis Star Tribune)
"Intriguing. . . . A worthwhile read." (Buffalo News)
"Dust to Dust is not a typical contemporary war memoir. . . . It partakes of the pastoral strain associated with World War I trench-poets like Edmund Blunden and Edward Thomas." (New York Times Book Review)
"[A] must-read memoir." (Details)
"A remarkable book—part military memoir, part childhood reminiscence. . . . Busch is filled with complicated and fascinating contradictions." (Salon.com)
"A beautiful meditation on war, loss, and the larger questions of life and death." (Huffington Post)

"Dust to Dust is startlingly good." (The SunBreak)

"This brave soldier with his singular sensibility . . . builds us a fort we're loath to leave." (Mary Karr, author of The Liars' Club, Cherry, and Lit)
"Busch is a poet with the soul of a civil engineer, and for as long as his body sustains him, he is the perfect soldier. I loved every page of this mesmerizing book." (Bonnie Jo Campbell, bestselling author of Once Upon a River)
"An imaginative, original meditation on mortality that reaches beyond the particulars of the Iraq war and the present day to grasp the universal. It is a literary gem." (Philip Caputo, author of A Rumor of War)
From the Back Cover
Dust to Dust is an extraordinary memoir about ordinary things: life and death, peace and war, the adventures of childhood and the revelations of adulthood. Benjamin Busch—a decorated U.S. Marine Corps infantry officer who served two combat tours in Iraq, an actor on The Wire, and the son of celebrated novelist Frederick Busch—has crafted a lasting book to stand with the finest work of Tim O'Brien or Annie Dillard.
In elemental-themed chapters—water, metal, bone, blood—Busch weaves together a vivid record of a pastoral childhood in rural New York; Marine training in North Carolina, Ukraine, and California; and deployment during the worst of the war in Iraq, as seen firsthand. But this is much more than a war memoir. Busch writes with great poignancy about the resonance of a boyhood spent exploring rivers and woods, building forts, and testing the limits of safety. Most of all, he brings enormous emotional power to his reflections on mortality: in a helicopter going down; wounded by shrapnel in Ramadi; dealing with the sudden death of friends in combat and of parents back home.
Dust to Dust is an unforgettable meditation on life and loss, and how the curious children we were remain alive in us all.

WASHINGTON -- A $52,500 Community Facility Grant has been made available by the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Rural Development program for upgrades to the Dorena-Hickman Ferry, according to a Friday new release from U.S. Rep. Jo Ann Emerson (MO-08) and U.S. Sen. Kit Bond.
"These funds are going to help the Dorena-Hickman Ferry survive. We've really felt the loss of ferry service in recent months, and unstable gas prices really ought to make everyone sit up and notice the importance of reliable ferry service to southern Missouri and Kentucky," Emerson said.
"It was pleasing to hear the USDA grant for Dorena-Hickman Ferry has been approved to assist with equipment improvements for the Mississippi River ferry crossing," Bond said. "I commend Mississippi County Port Authority officials and our good neighbors in Kentucky for their longstanding partnership on the Dorena-Hickman Ferry serving the heartland of America."
In June, Emerson and Bond contacted USDA Rural Development Undersecretary Thomas Dorr on behalf of the Dorena-Hickman Ferry as it provides substantial fuel savings for residents who must otherwise travel great distances to cross the Mississippi River.
"The Dorena-Hickman Ferry isn't just a financial concern for us in southern Missouri, either," Emerson said. "It's part and parcel of our heritage along the river. The ferry is a living, working piece of our history and I am very glad that this grant will ensure it can continue to be. The support of state and local entities for the ferry on both sides of the river was key in obtaining this funding."
The Dorena-Hickman Ferry is one of few remaining riverboat ferries operating in the U.S. and the only one connecting Missouri and Kentucky.
The letter to Rural Development from Emerson and Bond stated they supported the Mississippi County Port Authority's grant application because "it will provide a viable alternative transportation mode and enhance economic impact for the citizens in the tri-state region."
They added, "Employees of the ferry have worked diligently to provide a dependable alternative transportation service to the tri-state that citizens, businesses and commercial transportation have come to depend upon."
"I'm glad to know it's coming through because we need that ferry running," said Jim Blumenberg, Mississippi County's presiding county commissioner. "It's very important to the county and gets a lot of people to the county that wouldn't come here otherwise."
The ferry could also prove important in the event of an emergency.
"We thought if we ever had an earthquake that took our bridges (over Mississippi and Ohio rivers) down, even for a few days for inspections, it would be important to have that ferry as a mode of transportation," Blumenberg said.

Here are some tips from US News & World Report on using online therapy.
For more on thetopic ofonline therapyfrom Postpartum Progress, click here.
We talk a lot about screening and treatment for women with postpartum depression, but there's always the question of which healthcare professional will do it. Most often, it is the OB/GYN that women reach out to for help, which is why this new study in the Archives of Women's Health conducted by researchers from the University of Pennsylvania is worth consideration. They took a look at women's views on getting postpartum depression help from OB/GYNs.
"Among the 225 women in the study, more than half receiving gynecologic care (59%) and nearly a third of women who received prenatal care (29%) stated they would not seek help from their OB/GYN for depression."
Those who said they would not seek help from their OB/GYN if they developed postpartum depression had two major beliefs that prevented them from doing so: 1) An OB/GYN is the wrong doctor for depression care and 2) OB/GYN is not a good setting for depression care.
Other research out this week (some of which I can hardly understand but will report to you anyway):
Two stories yesterday about celebrities who've experienced postpartum depression:
The first isfrom the website Lilsugar where actress Angie Harmon complains on video that no one told her about PPD until after she got it! Harmon had PPD after each of her three kids.
The second, from the magazine Life & Style, features Gena Lee Nolin, former Baywatch star, who experienced PPD(thanks to Celebrity BabyBlog for the story).She also had it with all three of her kids, and used both meds and counseling as part of her treatment. She plans to write a book about her experience.
Actresses and other celebrities are subject to the same illnesses the rest of us are, and are just as likely to go through the darkness of PPD. For news of other celebrity moms who've had postpartum depression, like Lisa Rinna, Gwyneth Paltrow and Amanda Peet, click here.
Just watched a segment from the TV show "Insight"from Australia. Very compelling piece featuring a man who lost his wife to postpartum depression(also known as postnatal depression or PNDin Australia).This was a very well-done segment and not sensationalized at all.
You can watch it online by clicking the link above. (Note: Do not watch this if you're currently suffering.)
Louise Litisexperienced PND after the birth of her first son, partially due to problems with breastfeeding. She recovered.After having her second child, they tried to make sure she had more support (cleaning lady, nanny once a week) and she seemed to be doing much better but still struggled with breastfeeding. Her PND came back on, she attempted suicide but failed, then committed suicide while in a mother/baby unit. Heartbreaking.
There are other segments about postnatal depression that were part of the show, including several mothersdiscussing their experiences (part 3), and you can watch those as well.
Additionally, the SBS website features organizations in Australia that help women with PND, including the Gidget Foundation, PANDA and Beyond Blue.

Best Civil War Sites
Gettysburg, PA
Don't let those Abe Lincoln bobbleheads or other gift shop kitsch distract you from the meaning of those three historic days in July 1863. Focus on the battle, the turning point of a war that had up until then been the Confederates' to win. After a quick orientation at the Gettysburg National Military Park Museum and Visitor Center, set out with an NPS-licensed battlefield guide for a two-hour drive around the park (book in advance, $65). Such a historian will make vivid sense of all the advances and retreats, the personalities, and the mayhem. The park frequently hosts "living history" weekends, when volunteers, in full costume, re-create skirmishes—check the NPS site for the current calendar.
Don't Miss: The 250-year-old Fairfield Inn, eight miles to the west of the battlefield, re-creates a three-course meal eaten here by Robert E. Lee during a pause in the Confederate retreat from Gettysburg.

It's easy to get discouraged when searching for a job. But our best job search advice? Don't let the negative media reports on your local jobs market discourage you in your efforts to find new employment in 2012.
For instance, it's long been held that the national unemployment's rate drop to a three-year low earlier this year has largely been fueled by job seekers giving up and dropping out of the jobs market. It would stand to reason, then, that once these job hunters return to the market, the unemployment rate will, once again, rise.
However, this might not be true.
The Unemployment Myth
An economist at Barclays Capital recently released a report, called "Dispelling an Urban Legend," that disputes this view. In his report, the economist writes that the size of today's workforce is shrinking as aging Baby Boomers hit retirement age. This, the economist writes, is what is actually causing the unemployment rate to fall.
The good news for those looking for jobs? These aging Baby Boomers won't be returning to the workforce, meaning that the drop in the nation's unemployment rate is likely more permanent than the naysayers believe.
How Bad is the Job Market?
It's important, then, to realize that negative media accounts aren't always accurate. The worst thing that you can do while searching for a job is to allow gloomy news reports to convince you to give up. Yes, the jobs market today is a difficult one. But if you brush up on your networking skills, conduct a social media job search, and search for LinkedIn jobs – in other words, if you take all of the steps necessary to gain an advantage – you will find your job this year.
The Positive Job Search
It's easy to get discouraged when the job search doesn't appear to be netting any results. And the bad news that we read each day in the newspapers and online doesn't help boost anyone's confidence. But don't give up. If you conduct a professional job search, your odds of landing new employment will rise dramatically.

Read the official SanDisk press release
SanDisk has just shipped us their brand new Extreme IV compact flash memory card and Extreme Firewire 800 card reader. We've not only been putting the supplied Extreme IV card through its paces, but also the card reader, which is a bit of a star performer in its own right. And we have compared Extreme IV compact flash performance with 'earlier' generation high-speed compact flash cards too.
What is new about SanDisk's Extreme IV technology?
The industry has made several performance steps in flash memory semiconductor technology recently and this has moved the performance bottleneck down the pipeline. In other words, premium flash memory has, until now, been able to operate faster than the memory controllers and data transfer environments have allowed.
Cards claiming 20MB/second performance have been available for 18 months, but few card readers or cameras have been able to fully exploit that limit. Extreme IV features the latest in flash memory controller systems, using improved parallel processing to perform the task of getting data into and out of the flash memory cells. Parallel processing lets the controller move several data bytes in one operation and just like your supermarket opening extra checkouts on a busy Saturday morning, the queues can move noticeably faster.
With Extreme IV SanDisk now claims a 40MB/sec transfer rate, or 266x performance.
Firewire 800
But it's all very well if you can do your shopping and get to your car in the car park more quickly, but no good if there is a traffic jam at the car park exit. This is where the SanDisk Extreme FireWire 800 compatible card reader makes its mark. SanDisk's Extreme FireWire Reader is IEEE1394b (Firewire 800) compliant and needs a matching cable. Luckily the SanDisk Extreme FireWire Reader is backwards compatible and both a 1394b-1394b and 1394b-standard Firewire cable are supplied in the box. IEEE1394b-equipped computers are still relatively rare, but you can upgrade a PC using an IEEE1394b Firewire 800 interface card.
That's a Firewire 800 connector on the back
FireWire 800 is, as its name suggests, theoretically capable of 800MB/sec transfer rates. SanDisk only claims 40MB/sec maximum sustained transfer rate for Extreme IV cards, but the number '800' is a bit of a red herring. What FireWire 800 offers is lower protocol latency so there is less time for the reader waiting around for the next bunch of data to be transferred.
SanDisk also offers a USB 2.0 High-Speed Extreme Reader. Even with much slower compact flash cards, I have noticed that FireWire card readers extract marginally more performance from a compact flash card and the likelihood is that the difference will be even greater after all SanDisk wanted me to test the Firewire solution first!
All this impressive theory is one thing, but in a review like this it's that really counts...

About the Book
Magic and romance battle each other in this much anticipated sequel to the New York Times bestselling novel The School for Good and Evil. Best friends Sophie and Agatha return to the spectacular world where the only way out of a fairy tale is to live through one. Together, they have the strength to face unseen enemies and new threats. But what will happen when they are torn apart?
In the epic sequel to the New York Times bestselling novel The School for Good and Evil, Sophie and Agatha are home, living out their Ever After. But life isn't quite the fairy tale they expected.
When Agatha secretly wishes she'd chosen a different happy ending, she reopens the gates to the School for Good and Evil. But the world she and Sophie once knew has changed.
Witches and princesses, warlocks and princes are no longer enemies. New bonds are forming; old bonds are being shattered. But underneath this uneasy arrangement, a war is brewing and a dangerous enemy rises. As Agatha and Sophie battle to restore peace, an unexpected threat could destroy everything, and everyone, they love—and this time, it comes from within.
Soman Chainani has created a spectacular world that Newbery Honor-winning author Ann M. Martin calls "a fairy tale like no other, complete with romance, magic, and humor that will keep you turning pages until the end."
