For the integral, (a) identify u and u' and (b) integrate by substitution.
(a) The most complicated "inside" function is 6x + 4, so let
u = 6x + 4
u' = 6
(b) First we change variables. We have to break up 30 into 5 ⋅ 6 so we can find u':
We use an appropriate pattern to integrate:
And finally put the original variable back in:
(u)5 + C = (6x + 4)5 + C
We conclude
(a) The exponent of 4 is the most complicated inside function:
so we have
u = x2 + 4u' = 2x
(b) We change variables, integrate, and put the original variable back in:
(a) The most complicated "inside" function is the ex inside the sine function:
The derivative of ex is ex, so
u = exu' = ex
(b) Change variables, integrate, and change variables back:
Evaluate the indefinite integral:
The most complicated function that's still inside something is the denominator of the fraction, which is "inside" the operation :
Let u = x + 1. Then u' = 1. We have
What is the following indefinite integral?
The most complicated inside function is the exponent of e:
Let u = sin x. Then u' = cos x.
Evaluate the indefinite integral.
This integral doesn't require substitution. It only requires thinking backwards.
What has a derivative of -cos x?
The answer is -sin x. So
We can rewrite this integral as
This makes it more obvious that we should choose u = sin x and u' = cos x.
Find the following antiderivative.
The most complicated inside function is the exponent of 3, so let u = (2x2 + 4x) and then u' = (4x + x).
Factor 20.
Let u = (2x + 3). Then u' should be 2. In order to see 2 as a factor of the integrand, we have to break up the coefficient 20:
Now we have to think backwards. What has a derivative of 10u4? Answer: 2u5. So
Integrate. The problem may or may not require substitution.
Simplify the integrand.
This doesn't require substitution. Simplify the integrand by raising 5 and x to the 4th power:
What has a derivative of 625x4? Answer:
If we only looked at the first guideline for how to choose u, we would take cos (ln x) as u since that's the most complicated thing that's still "inside" something else (it's the numerator of the fraction). However, the derivative of cos (ln x) is not a factor of the integrand, so that won't work. Let's try making u a little less complicated. Let
There. That worked.
Rewrite the integral:
We have two choices. If we let u = sin x and u' = cos x, we get the integral
which isn't very helpful. On the other hand, if we let u = cos x, then u' = -sin x and we get an integral we know what to do with:
The most obvious choice of "inside" function is u = (3x2 + 4x + 7).
Then u' = (6x + 4).
u = 3x + 4
u' = 3
We multiply by 3 inside the integral and outside of it. Since we're not changing the value of the expression:
We integrate, writing C instead of , and put the original variable back in:
Evaluate the integral.
In this case we need the factor inside the integral, and its reciprocal 4 outside the integral.
u = e4x
u' = 4e4x
We need to introduce the factor 4 to the integrand, so we multiply the integrand by 4 and the outside of the integral by .
Those parentheses in the second-to-last step are important. If we had written
instead of
we would have gotten the wrong answer.
Let u = (3x2 + 4) and u' = 6x. Then we need to introduce 6 to the integrand and to the outside of the integral.
Factor .
Let so .
Unfortunately the constant in our integrand is , but we can factor it like so:
Now we're just left with another which we can pull out of the integral:
And the resulting integral is
It's time to get that u out of there, though. After substituting everything back in, we can say
Evaluate the following integral.
(-1)(-1) = 1
Let . Since , we have
We rewrite the integrand:
This is almost what we want, but the sign is wrong. Since (-1)(-1) = 1, let's multiply the integrand by (-1)(-1). Then we can see u' in the integrand:
Let u = x2 + 4x and u' = 2x + 4. If we multiply the numerator of the integrand by 2, we get u'.
What's the following integral?
Following the hint, let's rewrite the integrand:
We choose u to be the denominator, because we know how to find the integral of , but we don't know how to find the integral of . So let
u = sin(4x)
u' = 4cos(4x).
The integrand is missing a factor of 4, and we know how to fix that.
Make it rain.

Stinson Beach will be closed to swimmers for the next five days after a 10- to 15-foot great white shark was seen near the area where a fin whale beached itself.
Golden Gate National Recreation Area officials closed the beach's waters after the shark was spotted by a lifeguard in the surfline at about 3 p.m. Monday.
"It was probably drawn in by the whale," said Alex Picavet, park spokeswoman. "The whale was pretty gashed up after it beached itself."
The fin whale was discovered beached Monday morning. It had trauma to the sternum area and internal hemorrhaging around the heart. In addition, air was present in the subcutaneous tissue -- the area between the muscle and fat -- indicative of trauma.
There were no broken bones discovered. A cause of death, however, could not be determined.
This story will be updated.

With coaches and venues throughout Long Island, Islanders Hockey Academy is the perfect way to introduce your son or daughter to the sport of hockey.
Monday, 08.23.2010 / 11:15 AM ET / News
By Dyan LeBourdais
Now that you're dressed, you leave the locker room, most likely with your skate guards still on. Ever so wobbly, mom or dad then take you by the hand to the edge of the boards, set you up with some egg crates or a walker and let you step out onto the ice.
Plop. That's exactly right. You fell immediately. But that didn't matter. You were determined and excited to learn to skate so you got up and tried again. Again, you fell, but you weren't giving up.
If you know how to ice skate, learning how is probably one memory that you will remember for a lifetime. For the second season, the Islanders are partnering with our local community rinks in order to grow the game of ice hockey throughout Long Island.
"When the kids first come in, they are hanging on to a bucket and holding on to the walls and basically almost sitting on the ice," said Rick Gardner, owner of the Newbridge Arena. "By the time the program is done, you're watching them actually skating and they're ready to start getting into more of skills training. By the end, they are starting to enjoy some of the clinics and are learning how to play the game."
With many trained coaches and multiple venues throughout Long Island, the Islanders Hockey Academy Program is the perfect way to introduce your son or daughter to the sport of hockey.
"I think it's good to have a NHL team partner up with the local rinks in helping promote ice skating and ice hockey," Gardner said. "It's good for the local rink and it's also good for the Islanders organization to get these young kids involved in hockey, whether it's playing hockey or going to a game."
Your child may want to play hockey because they have seen a game on television or have friends who play, but whatever the reason, Islanders Hockey Academy is the perfect solution.
"When you see the first smiles on the kids' faces when they put their helmet on for the first time, give mom a smile, that's probably for me, the funniest and really the most rewarding aspect of everything," said Fred Nielsen, owner of the Port Washington Skating Center. "As far as training the kids, it's recreation. It's fun. It's supposed to be something that the kids can go out and enjoy."
It's definitely a program the children enjoy. Last year, Joe Didio Sr. of Hauppauge signed his son Joseph Didio Jr. up for the Islanders Hockey Academy Program. Joseph Jr. loved it so much that his father signed him up for a second year.
"It's a great program," said Joe Didio Sr. "It's run by all experienced coaches and it's great just seeing my son (Joseph Jr.) out there really skating and participating and playing hockey, learning the drills from real professional coaches."
Joseph Didio Jr. was only six-years-old when he enrolled in the program last year, but his dad knew that he needed to get his son on the ice after watching him point to the television and say that he wanted to be "out there" one day, referring to the ice at the Nassau Coliseum.
"He was just so excited," Didio said of his son's experience last year. "Watching him step on to the ice and every stride he took, he just loved it. He loved listening, sitting there and just participating with these great coaches."
Not only did Joseph Didio Jr. love going to Islanders Hockey Academy, his father said, "He improved dramatically just skating alone, great strides. He could skate, but not so well and now he's just skating around the rink with no problem. He's made incredible improvement in just the eight weeks that he had with the Islanders Hockey Academy. Now that he likes it so much, he's at the Rinx in Hauppauge every Saturday."
Each child that enrolls in the program will learn how to play hockey with trained professionals free of charge. Through the program, each child will be given a full set of hockey equipment and six to eight weeks of on ice instruction at one of the participating hockey rinks. The rinks include Iceworks, Port Washington Skating Center, The Rinx, Newbridge Arena and Long Beach Arena.
To get involved, each child and their families will sell 20 Islanders ticket vouchers at $32.50 each. Vouchers are redeemable for tickets at the Box Office for any Monday through Thursday 2010-11 regular season Islanders home game except for Opening Night and Rangers games. Each voucher is good for a minimum value ticket of $50.
"Financially it's great because playing hockey is a financial obligation," Didio said. "With ice time being expensive and equipment being donated by the Islanders, it gives you a no risk situation because you don't know if your kid is going to like playing or not."
"The tickets are worth a lot more than what we have to sell them for," Didio continued. "It's an easy sell because the vouchers are worth so much more ticket value wise. It's easy to give away or sell to other people, plus you get people going to the Islanders games because you want to see them stay and see them succeed."
Children that participated last year, Like Joseph Didio Jr., will have an opportunity to continue with the program for Level Two instruction. Children who participate in this level must already have their own equipment.
"(The Level Two instruction) gives you a chance to see the hard work and everything that the coaches have done with your kids to get them past the first level and now to watch them progress to the next level of hockey and ice skating," said Gardner of Newbridge Arena. "It's good to see that the kids are still interested in hockey because it means that you're doing something right and the kids are enjoying themselves."
The Islanders Hockey Academy Program only increased Didio Jr.'s interest in the sport.
"He's looking forward to improving his skating ability and all his drills," Didio said about his son's enrollment in the Level Two program. "The practice drills that they have are fantastic. It's great to watch him grow and get better. Every week he got better. It's fantastic."
The Islanders Hockey Academy Program is truly a great opportunity for children who want to learn to play hockey. All the partnering hockey rinks, including the Newbridge Arena and Port Washington Skating Center, are really looking forward to beginning the program again this year.
"It's about accessibility to the sport and commitment to the community," said Nielsen of Port Washington. "There are so many people that don't naturally have the opportunity to come in and purchase equipment and get involved in the sport and it's such a great sport. For the Islanders to support a program that allows them to get in at no cost, I think is something that's a little bit special."
Having the Islanders involved may be special, but if you remember back to your childhood when you first learned how to ice skate, you will remember your sheer determination and joy after the first time you made your first lap around the ice without falling. With Islanders Hockey Academy, your child will have that same exciting experience and will have fun while learning to play hockey.
If you are interested in enrolling your son or daughter, contact Michelle Winter at firstname.lastname@example.com.

New ferry Salish may sail Friday
Washington State Ferries hopes to put its newest 64-car vessel, the Salish, into service on Friday.
Spokeswoman Marta Coursey said a problem discovered Monday with a backup generator threatened to delay plans to put the boat to work on the busy Fourth of July weekend, but they're working on it.
The Salish would join the Chetzemoka on the Port Townsend-Whidbey Island route. With two boats, the 90-minute sailings will be cut in half.
The Peninsula Daily News reports Port Townsend will hold a community celebration for the new ferry on Thursday at the ferry terminal, whether the Salish is ready or not.
The ferry system expects to take delivery of a third new ferry, the Kennewick, by the end of the year.

Rios, Antillon Continue Bad Blood Grudge Match Before WBA Title FightBy Boxing Press July 6th, 2011 All Press Releases
Although they were kept apart and at opposite sides of the building, the bad blood and war of words between unbeaten WBA lightweight champion Brandon "Bam Bam" Rios (27-0-1, 19 KOs), of Oxnard, Calif., and two-time world title challenger Urbano Antillon (28-2, 20 KOs), of Maywood, Calif., continued during a Media Workout Tuesday at Fortune Gym.
This Saturday, July 9, in the main event on Showtime (10 p.m. ET/PT, delayed on the West Coast) at The Home Depot Center in Carson, Calif., Rios will make his eagerly awaited first defense against Antillon in a 12-round fight that has become personal and has Fight of the Year candidate written all over it. Rios is extremely upset at comments Antillon made about the defending champion's wife.
In the Top Rank-promoted co-feature, former IBF welterweight champion Kermit Cintron (32-3-1, 28 KOs), of Carolina, Puerto Rico, will be opposed by Mexico's Carlos Molina (18-4-2, 6 KOs), of Chicago, in a 10-round junior middleweight scrap.
The telecast also will include highlights from overseas as IBF super middleweight champion Lucian Bute (28-0, 23 KOs) defends his title for an eighth time – but first in his home country of Romania – against mandatory challenger Jean-Paul Mendy (29-0-1, 16 KOs) of France.
In a top undercard, non-televised fight this Saturday at the Home Depot Center, undefeated, No, 2-ranked WBO lightweight contender Mercito Gesta (21-0-1, 11 KOs), of Cebu, Philippines, faces had-hitting Jorge "El Tigre" Pimental (23-11, 17 KOs) of Sonora, Mex.
Tickets, priced at $125, $75, $50 and $25, are available at all Ticketmaster outlets and online at www.Ticketmaster.com as well as The Home Depot Center Box Office (Monday through Friday, 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.). Suites are available by calling (877) 604-8777.
What they said Tuesday:
Brandon Rios:
"It's not like I hate him, but I don't think we like each other. I don't like him. He says he is going to test me and that I'm not ready for what he is going to bring to the table. I hope he tests me, but he had better be bringing a really big table. If it's a small table, he is definitely getting knocked out.
"I feel very good, I'm ready to fight and I'm totally relaxed and focused. This is a great fight for television and the fans. We are both going to be getting after each other.
"I worked very hard to win the belt. No way I'm giving it up in my first defense. Not against this guy.''
Urbano Antillon:
"I am totally confident and ready and deep down know I am going to win this fight. Rios is a strong guy but he leaves himself wide open a lot.
"He's an idiot for continuing to still talk about what he says I said about his wife, and I'm surprised he's still talking about it. He's an immature kid who is going to get taken to school.
"People know what they are going to get in our fight. Fans want action, and that's what they are going to get from the opening bell -- non-stop action.
"I've put in the time, I've put in the work and I am ready to become world champion. I hope Rios is prepared to bring his best because that's what he's going to get from me. It will just be a matter of time before I stop him.''

if everything happens that can't be done
by E.E. Cummings
Stanza 2 Summary
Get out the microscope, because we're going through this poem line-by-line.
Line 10
one hasn't a why or because or although
- Here, we get more word play around the concept of "one."
- Let's break it down. Our concept of "one" in this poem is growing. We know that it's more "something" than anything else, and that it doesn't have a "why," "because," or "although." But why?
- Maybe that's the wrong question. After all, it seems that "one" is just there, being something. It doesn't need labels.
- Could this be an example of something that, until this poem, we would have thought couldn't have been done? Food for thought…
- Did you notice another pattern that's showing itself in this poem? The last word in each stanza is repeated as the first word of the next, like the word "one" in this stanza. It creates a nice swirly effect, huh? See our "Form and Meter" section for more.
Lines 11-13
(and buds know better
than books
don't grow)
- Those pesky parentheses are at it again. And again, like most of the other lines in the poem, these lines may seem to be pretty nonsensical at first. But never fear. There's an easy way to break them down and put them back together again.
- First think about the first two lines together: "and buds know better / than books." This fits right in with the parenthesis of the first stanza, that "anything's righter / than books."
- "Buds" probably refers to flower buds, or perhaps young children (budding youth). Now we start to see how the beauty of nature and youth, at least in this poem, is more important than book learning. Youth and nature know more than books do.
- Then, let's break down the second part of this parenthesis. Forget the first line, and the first word of the second line, and we've got "books / don't grow." So buds not only know better than books do, but also books, unlike buds, don't grow. Looks like the score is 2-0, buds on top.
- We might also read these lines as saying something like, "Buds are even better at knowing that books are at not growing." Yep, that sounds about right.
Line 14
one's anything old being everything new
- Again, the speaker tells us little bit more about the concept of "one." This line fits into the title of "everything happens that can't be done," because it's saying that anything old is now everything new.
- This is yet another paradox, or contradiction, because something old can't be something new. Or can it? Remember that the impossible just might happen in this poem.
- We might consider this line metaphorically, too. After all, the line is saying that this "one" thing "is" old things becoming new again. He is comparing the awesomeness of "one" to the awesomeness of everything old becoming new. That isn't necessarily what one is, but it is what one is like.
Lines 15-17
(with a what
around we come who)
- Wait. What? Surely your head is spinning now.
- These lines echo lines 6-8, but with a new spin. Same gleeful tone, new confusing idea.
- "What" and "which" express questioning, and we can't help but think that a lot of questioning must be going on in a world where everything is happening that can't be done.
- Then we come around to something of an understanding, but not without more questioning, of course. We know who's coming around in these lines: we are. Maybe that's all our speaker's saying, or perhaps there's a deeper play on words going on here. What do you think?
- One thing we can say for certain about these lines is that they're super fun to read aloud, and they give an even more playful bounce to this already whimsical poem.
Line 18
one's everyanything so
- Want to learn more about one? Well, in any case, our speaker is going to tell you.
- Earlier, he told us that it was "anything" old being "everything" new, and now we get that one is "everyanything."
- No, this is not a real word, and no, this wasn't a typo. "Everyanything" is a wonderful combination – it's everything and anything combined. That covers just about every possibility, right? Your English teacher might be tempted to correct this to "every and any thing" to be grammatically correct, but where's the fun or the rhythm in that?
- Then there's that tricky "so" at the end of the line. What's that doing there?
- We use the word "so" in a lot of ways. Sometimes we say "like so" meaning, "like this." Sometimes we use it to mean "therefore." Sometimes it means "very." And sometimes we just use it as an interjection: "So I was walking down the street when… "
- In this case, we can read "so" in two different ways:
- (1) "One is very everyanything." Or,
- (2) "One is everyanything, therefore… "
- Try not to grow discouraged that it's hard to pin down one meaning for each and every word and line of this poem. Instead, look at this piece as though it's a puzzle with many different solutions, each one just as right as the next.
- Part of the fun in reading it is investigating all of the different possible meanings for its words and lines. The more solutions you can think of, whether or not we here at Shmoop have thought of them, the better you're doing.

Portland: The City of Big Punitives and Roses
A Portland jury on Friday said DaimlerChrysler should have to pay MAN AG at least $488 million under the terms of a U.K. court decision last year and awarded MAN an additional $350 million in punitive damages. The Oregonian reports that it's believed to be the largest punitive damages award in state history.
So why were two German companies duking it out in an Oregon courtroom? Portland-based truck-maker Freightliner is a unit of Chrysler, and the 12-person jury found it liable for intentionally shifting assets around to avoid the last year's U.K. legal judgment. Chrysler says it will appeal the judgment.
Freightliner was represented by Stephen Walters of Stoel Rives in Portland. The Oregonian reported that Paul Hurd, Freightliner's in-house counsel, frowned and shook his head as the judge counted the jury's votes. Rick Stone, an attorney with Ball Janik in Portland, represented MAN. Said Stone to the Oregonian: "Oregonians are a particularly independent, thoughtful and prudent body politic. I think the message they sent was [Freightliner's] behaviors were unacceptable."
The underlying facts of the case are complex, so bare with us. ERF, a British unit of Canadian truck-maker Western Star holdings, engaged in an alleged accounting fraud in the late 1990s. Germany's MAN bought ERF from Western Star in March 2000, and says it didn't know about the alleged fraud. Freightliner bought Western Star in late 2000. In 2002, MAN filed a lawsuit in a British court against Freightliner, attempting to hold it responsible for the fraud. MAN won a roughly $488 million judgment; Freightliner appealed. MAN sued Freightliner in Oregon in late 2004.
Multnomah County juries have shown a penchant for punitive damages. The puntive damages case the Supreme Court recently heard — its first since 2003 — relates to a $79.5 million punitive damages award issued against Philip Morris by another Multnomah County jury in 1999.

Unbeaten heavyweight prospect Seth "Mayhem" Mitchell, former WBO junior lightweight beltholder Adrien Broner, and potentially undefeated welterweight puncher Keith Thurman, could all be on the same card on Oct. 6 from Boardwalk Hall in Atlantic City, according to Golden Boy Promotions CEO Richard Schaefer.
Broner (24-0, 20 knockouts) and Thurman (18-0, 17 KOs), of Clearwater, Fla., are coming off HBO-televised knockout victories this past Saturday over Vicente Escobedo and Orlando Lora at U.S. Bank Arena in Broner's hometown of Cincinnati, respectively.
Mitchell (25-0-1, 19 KOs), of Gwynn Park, Md., will be facing Johnathon Banks (28-1-1, 18 KOs), with whom he had been forced out of scheduled July 14 bout as a result of having strained his right hand.
"We will be back on Oct. 6 at Boardwalk Hall in Atlantic City, and it will be a double-header that will include Adrien Broner. Our matchmakers are currently looking at opponents for him. You will also have Seth Mitchell against Johnathon Banks," said Schaefer.
"We're going to see if we can make it a triple-header and add Keith Thurman as well. With Broner, Mitchell and Thurman, you have three of the most promising fighters from here in the United States. They're all ready and willing to fight all comers."
Broner's was his fourth straight stoppage win, but it was not without controversy.
For before even entering the ring against Escobedo, Broner lost his WBO belt at the scales for missing the contracted weight of 130 pounds both the day prior to the fight and during a Saturday morning re-weigh.
Although opponents have yet to be determined for either Thurman of Broner, Broner called out WBC lightweight beltholder Antonio DeMarco of Tijuana, Mexico, as well as four-division beltwinner Juan Manuel Marquez, of Mexico City, and former lightweight titleholder Brandon Rios.
DeMarco (27-2-1, 20 KOs) seems unlikely, since he has a scheduled third defense against rugged John Molina (24-1, 19 KOs) of Covina, Calif., on the undercard of a main event featuring RING light heavyweight champion Chad Dawson and RING super middleweight champion Andre Ward Sept. 8 on HBO.
It is also unlikely that Broner could face WBO lightweight beltholder Ricky Burns (34-2, 9 KOs), of Scotland, who has a defense opposite Kevin Mitchell (33-1, 24 KOs), of England, on Sept. 22.
Thurman came up with his seventh straight knockout against Lora, whom he dropped, and then, stopped at the 1:37 of the sixth round. Thurman called out WBO and WBA beltholders Timothy Bradley and Paulie Malignaggi as well as WBC titleholder Floyd Mayweather Jr., who is also the WBA's junior middleweight titleholder.
Lora's last loss was by unanimous decision to Malignaggi in October of last year.
"Keith Thurman, you heard what [HBO's] Jim Lampley said after the fight, and that was that, 'we want to see him again.' That's the sentiment that we've heard from many fight fans," said Schaefer.
"He's another guy who is charismatic and he backs it up with his fists, like Adrien Broner. Seth Mitchell is not a talker like Adrien Broner, but he certainly is a puncher and he's going to bring the excitement factor in the ring. To have them on one card in Atlantic City is something that I'm sure fight fans will look forward to."

Warning of an "immense financial risk" to the state, a renowned group of transportation and financial experts advised lawmakers Tuesday to pull the emergency brake on funding California's $99 billion high-speed train.
The Legislature created the high-speed rail peer review group to weigh the project's chances for success, and its sobering conclusions are the most striking -- and perhaps most influential -- analysis yet of the pivotal plan lawmakers will evaluate in coming months.
Former Caltrans chief Will Kempton, the group's chairman, said most troubling was the state's plan to spend all available funding -- $6 billion -- on a small stretch of track in the Central Valley and hope for the rest of the money later.
"There is simply just no identification of a long-term funding source or commitment, and we think that is a fundamental flaw," Kempton said. "There is a huge risk they could be stuck with (only) that initial section of track."
The report's release coincides with Wednesday's start of the Legislative session, which will end with a vote this June on whether to authorize $2.7 billion in state bond funds to match $3.3 billion in federal money.
"It is particularly compelling because this comes from a group with no political ax to grind, and undeniable experience and expertise on a global basis," state Sen. Joe Simitian, D-Palo Alto, who has helped lead the discussion on the project in Sacramento. "It adds to an accumulating pile of concern."
Though Gov. Jerry Brown continues to support the project, opposition among the public and the Legislature is mounting, particularly as the cost to build has tripled since voters approved the railroad in 2008.
As state leaders face a federal deadline this fall to start construction, the report is likely to fuel criticism.
"It's a voice we're certainly going to need to listen to," said Assemblyman Rich Gordon, D-Menlo Park, who heads the budget committee overseeing the project.
State Sen. Mark DeSaulnier, an East Bay Democrat and head of the Senate transportation committee, agreed with the eight-page report, siding with Simitian, most Republican lawmakers and a growing number of Democrats who argue the current plan shouldn't be funded.
But in a 10-page response, the California High-Speed Rail Authority attacked the credibility of the peer review panel and called the analysis "by and large deeply flawed."
They accuse the group of holding the bullet train to an impossible funding standard, noting other megaprojects have been built segment-by-segment without having all the money in place at the onset.
"As the report presents a narrow, inaccurate and superficial assessment of the high-speed rail program, it does a disservice to policymakers who must confront these decisions," project Chairman Tom Umberg said.
But Kempton noted that other huge projects, like the Interstate system, had dedicated sources of future funding, such as a gas tax, that the high-speed rail plan does not.
The report is particularly surprising because panel members support high-speed rail in concept. The railroad is envisioned to zip passengers between San Francisco and Anaheim by 2034.
"It was very hard for me," said Kempton, currently the head of Orange County's transportation agency. "I do believe that we should have a bold vision for transportation but I think that vision has to be tempered with reality, as well."
Their assessment also calls into question whether the plan to start building in the remote Central Valley is legal, since the tracks would be too short to support bullet train service. They also express doubt over project cost estimates, whether the rail authority is equipped to handle the project and if the train would actually turn a profit.
The rail authority denied virtually all the accusations, saying the group's assertions were "unsupported," didn't mention the potential benefits of the project and would let massive matching federal funds slip away.

Over the last seven years, home loan interest rates have come a full cycle. A soft interest rate regime started towards the early part of this decade. Then, the interest rates started hardening from the year 2006. Now, again, the interest rates have started going down, from this year. The global economic slowdown triggered a softening in interest rates from last year.
Here too, exports started to drop due to the global recession. This had a negative impact on consumer sentiments and hence they started cutting down on their expenses, especially on high priced goods. This showed on the industrial output and therefore on a lower GDP. The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) announced cuts in its key policy rates and ratios in October last to signal a soft interest rate regime. Since then, in the last eight months, the RBI has further cut its key policy rates and ratios many times to provide a stimulus to the economy and industry.

Post subject: screaming car rides
hi there,
my 10 week old baby boy HATES the car. we have tried many different thing to get him to settle but none have consistently worked. we have tried music, toys, my step sons enteraining him, a different car seat, me sitting in the back with him (which can't be done when i need to drive!!!) and nothing seems to work.
Does anyone have any suggestions as to what we can do for him? he doesnt seem to be in pain and after about 1/2hour of screaming he does go to sleep but i hate driving knowing he isn't happy
many thanks

Hmmm my little girl hates the car seat too... she screams when i put her in it, and screams for the first few minutes in the car, however, she tends to nod off. If she doesnt, and carries on screaming, its because she's got wind. Ive had to pull over a few times (once i had to come off the motorway at the next junction and park up in a pub carpark and wind her!!)... and comfort her, and shes usually ok. Is he too warm?? Or could it be wind. its so hard isnt it, because it means u cant go anywhere!

Oh my gosh! I thought I was alone. My baby hates the car. She screams everytime we go somewhere and I feel like a prisoner. She does OK on the highway but once we are just around town, she screams. I just bought the go and show lights and mirror from Baby Einstein but I am not too hopefully about it. Ugh I hope she grows out of this. It seems to be getting worse though, she is just about 10 weeks.

I had the same problem with my baby girl, it got to the stage where we really dreaded car journeys. To our relief she calmed down after a while, we got her the Mind Shapes toys from Manhattan Toy/Wimmer Ferguson which claim to be designed for travelling, they seemed to help but it could have been coincidence.

Ball shock describes the feeling you get when you are wading into cold water and the water reaches your scrotum, giving you that sudden awareness of how motherfucking cold the water really is as your sack shrivels up.

Can you define these popular missing words?
The minor pain and discomfort in the male groin area when jumping down from a high place and landing too rigid, causing the scrotum to endure the stresses of high G's and "spring" back. Usually the sensation is similar to being sack tapped.
As I snapped the board to ollie down the 9-stair, I pussed out and bailed. After landing a bit stiff, the hard impact made cause for a healthy dose of Ball Shock.

Breaking Stalin's Nose
by Eugene Yelchin
Symbolism, Imagery, Allegory
First there's the fact that Vovka's award-winning painting disappears from its display after his father is executed (13.2).
Then there's the fact that the favorite pastime at Sasha's school involves violently crossing out photographs of those classmates whose parents have been imprisoned or executed as enemies of the people:
Nina Petrovna rises, walks to where the group photograph of our class hangs on the wall, and blackens Four-Eyes' face with her ink pen. That's what we always do to the pictures of enemies of the people, and it usually feels good, but not this time. (22.2)
Check out Yelchin's illustration of this at 22.F1. All traces of these kids are literally removed from the school. Well, not really. You might remember that storage room that the kids aren't allowed to go in:
A faint yellow light flickers from the doorway of some room farther in. It gives off enough light for me to make out the shapes of the things around me. At my feet is Vovka's prize watercolor, Comrade Stalin at the Helm, the colors running in streaks behind the cracked glass. Next, leaning against the wall and buckling in the water, are dozens of group photographs, the kids' and teachers' faces blackened, or stabbed out with something sharp. It's creepy. (28.3)
Keep in mind that the political system of the Soviet Union allows absolutely no dissent. If you speak out, you are imprisoned or worse. What's more, to maintain the illusion that this is the best system and that everyone is happy little communists, any evidence to the contrary must be swiftly, and sometimes brutally, whisked away. "Out of sight, out of mind" (28.4), right?

By Rick Warren
— May 21, 2014
"Am I now trying to win the approval of human beings, or of God? Or am I trying to please people? If I were still trying to please people, I would not be a servant of Christ." (Galatians 1:10 NIV)
Advertising manipulates us all the time: "Buy this product, or you're stupid!" or "You'd be a fool not to take advantage of this sale!" Have you ever bought something you didn't want just because you didn't want to look dumb? Have you ever stood there while somebody offered you a little piece of food on a toothpick? You really didn't like it, but you bought it anyway.
That's called the fear of rejection. It not only allows others to manipulate us; it causes us hurt in many other ways. The fear of rejection pressures us to conform to peer pressure. We tend to walk like other people, talk like other people, act like other people, dress like other people. Why?
We don't want to be rejected.
It keeps us from speaking the truth. Why do people lie? Why do people shade the truth? Because they're afraid if they tell the truth, you won't accept them.
Fear of rejection also silences our sharing about Christ. Sometimes silence isn't golden; it's just plain yellow! We don't share our faith because we're worried about the approval of others.
How do you overcome the fear of rejection? You need a new perspective!
You start by putting God first. Then, you put the opinions of others in a proper place. In other words, don't overvalue what they say.
In Galatians 1:10, Paul writes, "Am I now trying to win the approval of men or of God? If I were still trying to please men, I would not be a servant of Christ" (NIV). Paul says his goal in life is to please God, not men. He says I have a choice. I can choose whether I'm going to live for the applause of God or the applause of men. You can't seek the approval of both at the same time. You have to decide whom you're trying to impress.
The way to overcome the fear of rejection is to live your life for an audience of one.

Lawyers Leading the Condominium-Litigation Charge
Back in May, writer Dan Ackman wrote about a couple of lawsuits out in Las Vegas in which jilted condominium purchasers were suing developers that had cancelled projects. A story in the most recent Weekend Journal expands upon the theme. The lead of the story:
With once-hot condominium markets across the country in sharp decline and many real-estate professionals predicting a further weakening, some developers are facing more than a glut of unsold inventory. Angry condo buyers from Boca Raton, Fla., to San Diego are taking developers to court, alleging everything from breach of contract to fraud.
The story continues: "Legal professionals say that the increase in litigation isn't surprising, given the furious pace of new construction in the past few years, and that some suits may rely on dubious legal strategies that have little chance of prevailing in court."
We noticed that two of the lawsuits discussed in the story feature lawsuits in which the plaintiffs are not only represented by lawyers — they are lawyers:
- Ben Bedi, an IP partner in Dechert's Palo Alto Office: Bedi says he put down a 5% deposit on a $1.7 million condo in San Francisco's The Metropolitan during preconstruction in 2004. He says marketing materials had him believing that his two-bedroom unit would look like a penthouse with views of the Bay. Instead, the 41-year-old Bedi alleges that when he moved in at the end of 2004, he found a bunch of defects and 220 fewer square feet than promised. An attorney representing the developer says Bedi's claims are invalid.
- Maritza Pena, an associate at Marlow, Connell, Valerius, Abrams, Adler, Newman, Lewis & Blevins in Miami: Pena, a 33-year-old attorney in Miami, says she was surprised when she got a letter in February advising her that 1390 Brickell Bay, where she had agreed to purchase a two-bedroom apartment in 2004 for $579,980 had been cancelled. Only seven months before, the developers of the proposed 49-story tower had hosted a cocktail party to celebrate the condo's groundbreaking. "They never hinted that something was wrong," says Peña, a first-time home buyer. "When I read the letter, it felt like I got punched in the stomach."
So she joined 58 fellow buyers who filed a lawsuit in April against the developer, which denies the claims. The lawsuit seeks the gain they would have realized if the condos had been built plus the unconditional return of deposits with interest. Tough case, says a Wharton real-estate professor: "The court looks for hard-and-fast evidence that you were harmed . . . Lost profits are always hard to prove because they are speculative."

Tighthead prop Charlie Faumuina has come into the side for the injured Owen Franks, for his third start in his 10th Test, while rookie Steven Luatua has been given the opportunity to cement the blindside flanker role after two impressive starts against Australia.
Both should face a massive battle in Hamilton that starts against a Pumas pack that is renowned for their physicality and powerful scrum with Faumuina going to be under immense pressure from the experienced Marcos Ayerza.
"The challenge is to get a good hit with a non-existent gap and to keep the co-ordination of the eight," Ayerza told the New Zealand Herald on Thursday about the new engagement rules that puts greater emphasis on scrummaging.
"I am in favour of the positive scrums. The rules before this were making not very good props, not very positive props."
The rangy Luatua has impressed against the Wallabies but will find it tougher task against the Pumas forwards, who have inspirational captain Juan Martin Fernandez Lobbe back from injury.
The Pumas were hammered 73-13 in their first clash but resorted to a tight and physical battle of attrition in Mendoza, which prompted allegations of foul play.
Number eight Leandro Senatore was later suspended for nine weeks after he was found guilty of biting in the 22-17 loss, though fellow loose forward Pablo Matera was cleared of eye-gouging.
All Blacks coach Steve Hansen, however, refused to add fuel to the discussion and channelled former captain Tana Umaga declaring international rugby was not "tiddlywinks" when asked about foul play.
"They were playing South Africa so they would have been giving as much as they were giving. It's always a physical game and it will be physical on Saturday," Hansen said on Thursday.
"We're not playing tiddlywinks so every now and then people probably do things they don't want to do. In the heat of the battle it happens.
"I don't think they're a dirty team. That's what everyone is trying to imply. I don't think they are."
The Pumas have named what is essentially their strongest side with inspirational captain Lobbe back from a calf injury after he missed the two earlier losses to the Springboks.
Santiago Phelan rested Felipe Contepomi after the inside-centre had led the team against South Africa and the coach said the change was purely to give certain players a rest and to develop further talent.
The Pumas greatest challenge was to back up an impressive debut season and after the thrashing in Johannesburg, pundits questioned whether the side were facing a second season slump.
An improved performance in Mendoza, however, indicated they could still be as combative as last year, though that was not enough for Phelan, who is seeking his side's first win in the competition.
"It's good to be in the second year because we know what it is about and we know what is happening," Phelan said.
"But it is also (tougher) because the other teams know us and they are always improving ...but that is how we improve and compete."

The mission of the International Type 1 Diabetes Genetics Consortium (IT1DGC) is
to organize international efforts to identify genes that determine an individual's
risk of type 1 diabetes.
The primary aim of the IT1DGC is to ascertain, study, and establish a renewable
source of DNA on 2,500 families with at least two type 1 diabetic children, one
non-diabetic child and two parents. In addition, 5,000 families with one type 1
diabetic child, one non-diabetic child and two parents, will be identified to map
genes for type 1 diabetes through a series of geographically defined networks. Other
aims include creating a database for the scientific community with clinical, genetic,
and medical history information that would facilitate the search for type 1 diabetes
susceptibility genes and also providing a centralized DNA repository to allow targeted
studies of genetic structure and function for type 1 diabetes.

After weeks of watching and waiting, one of the two pregnant giraffes at the Santa Barbara Zoo is a proud new momma.
A Masai giraffe named Audrey went into labor Thursday afternoon. Two hours later, a baby boy giraffe was born. There is no name for the little guy yet. But zoo officials say he is more than 6 feet tall and healthy.
Giraffe births are rare and these land animals are endangered in the wild and in captivity. Experts say only around 90 Masai giraffes are in North America.
The Santa Barbara Zoo is expecting another bundle of joy at any moment. Betty-Lou, the other pregnant giraffe, is 15 months pregnant and past her due date.

Freed Taliban Commander Tells Relative He'll Fight Americans Again – NBC News.com
PESHAWAR, Pakistan – One of the five Taliban leaders freed from Guantanamo Bay in return for Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl's release has pledged to return to fight Americans in Afghanistan, according to a fellow militant and a relative.
Yeah, there's a real shocker.

Operational Requirements
1.1. Military technical superiority is a powerful deterrent to war and, if deterrence fails, provides the means to offset a numerical disadvantage in forces and minimize loss of life. Technical superiority may be measured in terms of cost, performance, reliability, and ease of maintenance. To maintain the winning edge in technology, Air Force organizations use a formal, coherent process to identify, evaluate, and prioritize the mission needs and operational requirements that compete for limited resources through the Department of Defense (DoD) acquisition system (attachment 1).
1.2. Air Force mission deficiencies will be identified by assessing the capability to accomplish assigned missions and tasks.
1.3. All Air Force activities will first assess all nonmateriel solutions to satisfy a mission deficiency. Solutions may include changes in organization, training, tactics, doctrine, etc. Materiel solutions will be considered and a Mission Need Statement (MNS) developed only after nonmateriel options are found unsatisfactory.
1.4. A MNS identifies the need (deficiency) and is a prerequisite for entry into the acquisition process, as portrayed in attachment 2.
1.5. A Chief of Staff of the Air Force (CSAF) approved MNS is mandatory for all potential programs (attachment 3). Therefore, unless an unfunded need has an approved MNS, the Air Force will not consider it for funding.
1.6. The Cost and Operational Effectiveness Analysis (COEA) Report summarizes the results of cost and performance analyses of the various alternatives that may meet the identified need. The originator of the need chooses the preferred alternative, and develops requirements in the Operational Requirements Document (ORD) (paragraph 1.7). COEAs are required for DoD Acquisition Category (ACAT) I programs, or as directed by the applicable Acquisition Executive for ACAT II-IV programs (attachment 3).
1.7. The ORD identifies the operational requirements necessary to meet the identified need. The Requirements Correlation Matrix (RCM) is a matrix spreadsheet outlining the user's operational requirements from the ORD in terms of capabilities and characteristics, and is a mandatory attachment to all Air Force, or Air Force lead, ORDs. All Air Force, or Air Force lead, ORDs require CSAF approval (attachment 3).
1.7.1. Any changes to an approved ORD and RCM must be annotated and resubmitted for HQ US Air Force review and may require CSAF approval (dependent on the level or impact of the change).
1.8. HQ USAF/XO is responsible for Air Force requirements. HQ USAF/XOR provides oversight of the requirements process and documentation procedures. HQ USAF/XOR serves as the Air Force Joint Requirements Oversight Council (JROC) Secretariat providing the requirements interface with the JROC.
Supersedes AFR 57-1, 7 October 1988.
OPR: HQ USAF/XORJ (Lt Col Frederick W. Chapman) Editor: SAF/AAIP (Mrs Joyce D. Void)
Approved by: HQ USAF/XOR (Maj Gen Larry L. Henry) Pages: 8/Distribution: F
1.9. Address requests for waivers to AFPD 10-6 and AFI 10-601, Mission Needs and Operational Requirements Guidance and Procedures, to HQ USAF/XOR.
1.10. Major commands (MAJCOM) and Field Operating Agencies (FOA) will provide a semiannual certification list of requirement documents to HQ USAF/XORJ no later than 1 January and 1 July of each year (attachment 1, figure A1.1).
1.11. This policy directive implements DoD Directive 5000.1, Defense Acquisition, February 23, 1991; DoD Instruction 5000.2, Defense Acquisition Management Policies and Procedures, February 23, 1991; and, DoD Manual 5000.2, Defense Acquisition Management Documentation and Reports, February 23, 1991.
1.12. Specific Air Force responsibilities, procedures, formats, and processing guidelines are published in AFI 10-601, Mission Needs and Operational Requirements Guidance and Procedures, which is the companion to this policy directive. Related policies are included in AFPD 33-1, C4 Systems; and AFPD 63-1, Acquisition System.
A1.1.1. HQ USAF/XORJ will compile the number of mission needs submitted by MAJCOM (figure A1.2) and begin tracking the MNS as it progresses to acquisition program initiation at Milestone I (figure A1.3). The tracking process will measure the number of MNSs received, the number of MNSs received that are approved, the number of MNSs approved to enter the acquisition process at Milestone 0, and the number of MNSs selected for program status at Milestone I. These data elements will be portrayed on a current year-to-date basis and updated monthly. MNS processing time (figure A1.4) will also be tracked on a year-to-date basis to assess timeliness of the staffing and approval process. This will provide a baseline analysis identifying potential problems with the requirements process properly interfacing with the acquisition process by portrayal of the trends at the major decision points of the process. The report will be submitted to the Global Reach - Global Power resource teams and the CSAF for review.
A1.2. The RCS: HAF-XOR(SA) 9215, MNS and ORD Certification List, format will be used for the semiannual report. This report replaces RCS: SAF-AQQ(A) 7502, RD&A Prioritized PDP List.
A1.2.1. This report is designated emergency status Code D. Discontinue during emergency conditions and do not transmit during MINIMIZE.

2012 Academy Award nominees: Winners and losers
Oscars show love for George Clooney and Woody Allen, while 'Harry Potter' and dark themes get the shaft
Next gallery »2012 Oscar nominations, by the numbers
« Previous galleryThe Lists: In Contention's Top 10 Things We Learned About the Academy Today
Loser: Original songs
Presumably there's a very logical reason for how, despite having 39 eligible candidates, we ended up with only two Original Song nominees, "Man or Muppet" from "The Muppets" and "Real in Rio" from "Rio." Heck, the 39-song shortlist had two additional songs from "Rio" and two additional songs from "The Muppets" that didn't make the cut. Somehow, Oscar voters had no compunctions about snubbing the likes of Elton John and Sinead O'Connor and Zooey Deschanel. Of course, we all know that Oscar voters are very picky about this category. Oscar winners Three 6 Mafia, anyone?

The Day Lady Died
by Frank O'Hara
The Day Lady Died Theme of Society and Class
The speaker of "The Day Lady Died" is comes off as very "intellectual." He knows what to read, what plays to see, what music to listen to, and even what kinds of fancy foreign liquors to drink. Sophisticated people want to be around him, and he can show up in the Hamptons and know that his friends will take care of him. On the other hand, he might seem aloof or insincere, depending on your view of intellectuals.
Questions About Society and Class
- To what social class does the speaker belong? Does he seem wealthy, or does he just mooch off friends?
- Is "intellectual" a social class?
- Is the speaker aware of how hip he sounds?
- In what ways is the speaker just a regular Joe?
Chew on This
Try on an opinion or two, start a debate, or play the devil's advocate.
The speaker of the poem may sound hip to an intimidating degree, but at heart he's just an average American consumer.

News 12 at 11 o'clock / Friday, Nov. 30, 2012
AUGUSTA, Ga. -- Hundreds took to their Harleys on Friday for a fallen friend, hoping the ride would honor him and help them heal.
It's all about fellowship and awareness that riding a bike always comes with a risk.
"Please be careful! We don't need anybody else in an accident," friend and pastor Wayne Cheselka yelled to his fellow riders.
A loving warning before a ride to remember David Sheffield, a man who used to wear his leather motorcycle vest with pride.
Cheselka said the 30 minute loop around the city with their biker family was "to say goodbye to Shef. Because he loved riding so much, we figured it was only fitting that we do a ride in his honor."
Sheffield's brother, Thomas Sheffield, is not a biker, but he was on Friday.
"I knew he had friends in the biker community. I never could have imagined that 225 plus riders would show up to do a memorial ride," he said.
Just a few days ago, Sheffield died after deputies say a driver failed to yield while turning onto Wheeler Road.
Fellow riders say the news of the accident was a shock.
"He only had a motorcycle. He didn't own any car, truck, or anything, so he rode every single day, and he always made sure to obey all the rules of the road and watch out for the other drivers. So that's why it was such a shock," Cheselka said.
"Then we all headed to the hospital," friend and "Mother Hen" Jan Yu said. "The nurse came out, the doctor actually, and said, 'Who's family?' And in unison we said, 'We are.'"
Sheffield was riding his a blue Harley when he lost his life. Even though he wasn't one of the drivers tonight, the family says that wasn't his last ride.
A brother safely stowed Sheffield's ashes in the back of the lead bike so he could take one last ride.
Family came all the way from Florida to watching the send-off in tears.
"After he retired in '06 and we saw him on the Harley, his hair was a little longer, his grin was a little wider," his brother said.
After Friday's ride, friends hope motorcycle safety awareness spreads a little wider, too.
"We don't have the protection of all the steel that's around us," Cheselka said. "Although we may look and dress and ride different, you know, look different from the community, we're still human beings and we hurt."
The other driver in the accident was 78-year-old Thomas Michael Brown of Martinez. He's been charged with homicide by vehicle.
No matter the charges, the biker community is mourning another loss, and they hope the message finally sinks in.

If you have already had chickenpox, you have developed immunity to it and are unlikely to get it a second time. However, since the chickenpox virus remains in the body and hides in spinal nerve cells, some adults will develop a recurrence of chickenpox known has herpes zoster or shingles .
To avoid getting chickenpox, you should:
The chickenpox vaccine is a series of two injections. It is routinely given to children at ages:
Children who have not been vaccinated and have not been exposed to chickenpox can also receive the series.
In addition, the vaccine should be given to adults who do not have immunity to chickenpox. Talk to your doctor. If you have certain conditions, you will not be able to have this vaccine.
The vaccine can also reduce your risk of infection if given within three days of exposure to chicken pox.
If you are unable to receive the varicella vaccine, you might be able to receive varicella-zoster immune globulin. Immune globulin is a blood product that contains antibodies to the chickenpox virus.
For prevention, immune globulin is given by injection immediately after exposure to the VZV virus (within 96 hours). It is usually only given to people who are at unusually high risk for severe complications from the disease. These may include:
If someone in your household gets chickenpox, you can prevent it from spreading by:

The third-seeded UMass Dartmouth men's basketball team ran up against a red-hot Rhode Island College squad on Friday and fell 82-69 in the semifinals of the Little East Championship tournament in Willimantic, Conn. The Anchormen advance to the title game against Eastern Connecticut State at 5 p.m. today. Sophomore Abi Akanni led the Corsairs with 17 points, while freshmen Ryan Walsh and Tucker Bouchard added 14 and 13, respectively. Sophomore Wale Abraham blocked five shots. The Corsairs, who were down double-digits the entire second half, finished the season 16-11.
Two school records fell for the UMD men's track and field team at the Open New England championships at Boston University on Friday. Sophomore Ryan Hayes edged the school mark in the 1,000-meter run, finishing in 2:29.16, ahead of the previous mark of 2:29.65, set by Eric Nygaard in 2011. Hayes finished fifth and advanced to Saturday's final heat. The distance relay team of Matt Ferro, Brandon Jarousky, Matthew Hinthorne and Zachary Switaj set a new record in the 4,000 in 9:56.95, besting the previous mark (10:05.72) by nearly 10 seconds. The Corsairs finished third in the event. The only UMD woman to compete was senior Krista Chauvin, who finished third in the weight throw with a toss of 52-feet, 4.25-inches.

For Sale on eBay: A Bureaucratic Beer Poster
Albany has shucked off millions of dollars in surplus goods over the years, peddling its discarded telephones, dusty printers, used mops, soap dispensers and heaps of scrap metal.
New York's bureaucratic bazaar got a bit more interesting this week when an unusual item popped up for sale on eBay: a framed poster depicting a can of Coors Extra Gold.
"To the best of my knowledge, it's the first beer poster we've sold," said Heather Groll, a spokeswoman for the state Office of General Services, which manages the surplus auctions.
The lager ad displays what looks to be a can of beer submerged in an even larger quantity of beer. Its condition is listed on the online-auction site as "used."
As of Tuesday evening — with less than 15 hours to go in the auction — the Coors poster had drawn four bids. The highest stood at $30.50.
State officials said the poster used to hang somewhere inside the headquarters of the now-defunct New York City Off-Track Betting Corp. at 1501 Broadway in Times Square. It could be a decorative touch, but officials wouldn't speculate.
The Cuomo administration launched its new surplus-good website earlier this month, intending it as a more user-friendly way to shop around for state castoffs.
Scrap metal has been a steady bestseller so far. This spring, the state generated $1.6 million by auctioning off hundreds of vehicles from its fleets.
Other oddities like the beer poster have surfaced from time to time as Albany has cleaned its attic. Last year, for instance, the state sold a vintage Wurlitzer organ that the New York State Museum had decommissioned.
The auction on the beer poster ends Wednesday morning.

Afternoon Roundup: Serena Williams Gets in on the Apology Act; Elton John Can't Adopt, Dan Brown Spared the Critics' Knife
In Other Apology News: Kanye West wasn't the only one doing damage control today. In contrast to her none-too-remorseful post-match press conference, Serena Williams issued an apology for her on-court tirade against a line judge yesterday at the U.S. Open. [ESPN]
Former Soviet Union Not Gay-Friendly: Ukrainian authorities, apparently unmoved that Elton John held a free concert for 200,000 people in Kiev to raise money to promote Aids awareness in a country plagued by the infection, said he and his partner can't adopt a 14-month-old HIV-infected boy named Lev who "stole my heart" when Sir Elton visited an orphanage yesterday. They said it's because he's too old (62) and isn't married. Just reading between the lines here, but they also don't appear to like gay people very much. [Times of London]
Critics' Takedown Of Dan Brown's "Lost Symbol?"… Surprisingly Mild: The New York Times posted a review by critic Janet Maslin of the new Dan Brown novel yesterday –- two days before the book's official pub date, breaking the embargo. The Los Angeles Times followed with a review today by Nick Owchar. The consensus? Owchar spends most of his column inches summarizing the plot, barely critiquing the writing, other than to say it's like "any roller coaster — thrilling, entertaining and then it's over." Maslin, meanwhile, says Brown is "bringing sexy back" to the thriller genre. [LA Times] [New York Times]
When's He Going to Play a Good Guy?: Christoph Waltz, who stole the show as a Nazi in Quentin Tarantino's "Inglourious Basterds," is reportedly taking over the villain role vacated by Nicolas Cage in Seth Rogen's "The Green Hornet" redo. The 52-year-old actor has reportedly been offered a lot of big roles since his "Basterds" breakout, but is apparently opting to boost his comic book cred. [Deadline]
And the Howard Roark Award Goes To…: A Santa Monica-based architect, Tommy Landau, is developing plans for what would be the world's tallest building –- a 224-story, eco-conscious skyscraper in Abu Dhabi. The current record holder –- the Burj Dubai, in the United Arab Emirates –- will reach 162 stories when completed. We're reminded of the so-called "skyscraper trade," which theorizes that you should short the market whenever someone is trying to build the world's tallest building, because it means optimism is high and credit is easy. Given the current economic climate, it could also simply mean someone is delusional. [LA Times]

We've already seen a Nendoroid of the wonderfully adorable demon queen Maou, but for those of us who prefer our figures a little more true-to-life, Kotobukiya is all set to have us covered with this lovely upcoming scaled release! Suffice to say, Maou looks fantastic, and Koto's captured her perfectly from head to toe. You're not going to see any curves out of place here!
They've gone with the show's art style as well, and while I do prefer some of the manga versions, there's no denying the extreme amounts of cuteness seen in the anime's art. As expected, Maou is shown in her usual red dress, and you'll be able to pop her horns off as well to slip her into her "disguise" as the Crimson Scholar. While Koto's done a great job on her dress, I'd certainly be remiss if I didn't mention the lovely view of her legs from behind as well, making her appealing for any and all tastes!
I'd love to get my hands on her now, but sadly, we'll have to wait for further news before pre-orders open. Koto plans to have reservations open this month though, so we'll be keeping an eye out!

Troopers investigate fatal crash
Police say Chevy Trail Blazer veered into the opposite lane in Potsdam
Published 2:36 PM EST Jan 01, 2013
State police are investigating a two-vehicle crash in northern New York that killed a 66-year-old man.
Troopers say 63-year-old Anna Manning of Parishville was driving a Chevy Trail Blazer on Route 11 in Potsdam Monday afternoon when she veered into the opposite lane while reaching for something in the vehicle.
Manning's vehicle collided head-on with a Ford Econoline van driven by 66-year-old Lawrence Wagstaff Jr. of Winthrop. Wagstaff was pronounced dead at the scene and Manning was treated at a hospital for a lacerated liver.

NHL marks 50th anniversary of goalie mask
Sunday, 11.1.2009 / 10:49 AM ET / Features
|Martin Brodeur sports of the NHL's classic mask designs.
In celebration of the 50th anniversary of the goalie mask, the NHL Network will air a one-hour special on Sunday, November 1 at 7:00 p.m. ET. "50 Years Behind the Mask" will take viewers from that day 50 years ago at Madison Square Garden when Plante donned the mask through to today when most goaltenders use their masks as a showcase of endearing symbols, personality and intricate details.
At approximately 7:10 p.m. on November 1, 1959, during a Montreal Canadiens and New York Rangers match-up at Madison Square Garden, a shot by Rangers forward Andy Bathgate struck Montreal goaltender Jacques Plante in the face. The shot hit Plante at 3:06 of the first period.
After having his face stitched up by the doctor, Plante returned to the game about 21 minutes later. This time though, he was wearing a mask, becoming the first NHL goaltender to appear in a game with a mask. The Canadiens won the game 3-1.
Timeline of the Goalie Mask Design
October 31, 1972: Doug Favell of the Philadelphia Flyers had his mask painted orange, resembling a pumpkin for a Halloween game against Los Angeles, making it the NHL's first painted goalie mask. The 'pumpkin' mask paved the way for Favell's future mask, an orange and white 'star-burst' design.
1973-1974 Season: After being traded from the Pittsburgh Penguins to the Detroit Red Wings on January 18, 1974, goaltender Jim Rutherford needed to update his blue mask. He commissioned goalie-mask designer, Greg Harrison, to paint it white, but what Harrison returned to Rutherford before a morning skate was a white mask with Red Wing logos above the eyes. Rutherford didn't like the mask but with a game that evening, he had no choice but to wear the first mask with a painted design.
1976-77 Season: Glenn "Chico" Resch of the New York Islanders is credited as the first goaltender to have an artistic design cover his full mask.
Resch's design had the Islanders' logo at the top, an island horizontally across the forehead as well as the letters 'N' and 'Y' on opposite cheeks.
It was painted by an art student, Linda Spinella, and it now resides in the Hockey Hall of Fame. Resch is currently the color commentator for Devils broadcasts on MSG Plus.

Good place to stay for a few days. No luxury but nice and clean. Lots of buses going to the city centre. Sometimes a little loud at nights (cars etc.) but i can only speak for the room i stayed in. Really good value!
Location is fine, it's a 20 minute walk to the centre or you could take the bus which stops almost next to the house. Room was great for what we paid, clean and big. There were two negative features which are the shower, that had a Tiny water fall and was difficult to get warm water. Most of the time when other people already went. Next, it was sooooo cold in the home, we had a little heating but that really wasn't enough. Next to that we had an okay stay here.
It's a very nice house with a good kitchen and bathroom. The room was nice as well. It's only about 7 min to the city center by bus but you can also walk there without any problems.
Thank you!
Its a Nice place not far from Dublin center and very quiet
We 'll come here if we want to go in Dublin
The room was comfy, very simple, but all right.
It's not a place to hang out, we used it just for sleeping.
The bed was nice and the people who live in the house too! We could use the kitchen at any time and go to the garden.
Only the shower was horrible. The water spray was soooo soft that we couldn't get the shampoo out of our hair.
