Earth, 2019. A team of US scientists makes a frightening discovery on an island in the South China Sea, and all contact with them is lost when the North Korean government quickly seals off the area. The United States responds by dispatching an elite team of nanotech-suited Delta Force operatives, and tensions quickly rise to boiling point. But when a massive alien ship reveals itself in the middle of the island, generating an immense force sphere that freezes a vast portion of the area, the two warring factions must unite, fighting epic battles through tropical jungle, flash-frozen wastes, and finally in the heart of the alien ship itself for the ultimate zero-G showdown.

The Gaping Gap Between the Price of Nymex and Brent. Which is Right?
More than ever, the price of oil depends on where you look. Oil prices have sunk to a two-month low around $85 a barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange, but ICE's Brent oil futures are soaring toward $100 a barrel.
The gap between the two prices–more than $12 as of Friday morning–is the biggest ever. Nymex March futures were recently trading up 0.3% at $85.85 a barrel, while ICE March Brent trades up 0.6% at $97.97 a barrel.
The yawning chasm between the two most widely quoted prices proves the power of a small Midwestern town on the global oil market. Nymex futures are reflecting steadily rising inventories in Cushing, Oklahoma, the oil storage hub where anyone holding a contract when it expires must either purchase or deliver real barrels of crude each month.
The trouble starts when too much Canadian oil heads into Cushing's web of pipelines, crowding out tank space theoretically set aside for Nymex-related deliveries. In the next couple months, a new TransCanada pipeline promises to bring yet more Canadian oil to Cushing.
Brent represents oil produced in the North Sea, a long way from the glut developing in Oklahoma. It's also cash settled, meaning no oil needs to change hands. The two contracts usually trade within $2 of one another.
So which contract reflects the "real" cost of oil?
For now, the market's going with Brent. On the U.S. Gulf Coast, home to some of the country's biggest oil refineries, Light Louisiana Sweet, a locally produced oil, also trades at $12 a barrel above Nymex–not a coincidence.
The same adjustments are being made throughout North America, where Nymex is the main pricing benchmark. Joe Gorder, an executive at Valero Energy Corp., a major U.S. refiner, declared Nymex oil futures "irrelevant" for gauging prices earlier this week.
"The storage issue is not an issue," says Joe Raia, CME Group Inc.'s director for energy products, including Nymex oil futures.
A quick look at the eye-popping gaps between Nymex and Brent verifies that the storage issue is an issue.
But the Nymex oil contract can't be counted out yet. The benchmark was supposedly "broken" in February 2009, when it traded at a then-record discount to Brent of more than $10. The gap was down to 63 cents two weeks later.
And while the new pipeline may fill Cushing's tanks, oil companies are constantly building more. TransCanada is also planning another pipeline to take oil from Cushing to the Gulf Coast, potentially as soon as 2013.

vvs, you might want to get a try it set, both companies have a set with each of the needle types included.
As soon as I can, I'm going to order the wood needles from WEBS because of the different colors and pointy points. I noticed someone else, way at the early part of this thread wasn't thrilled with Addi Turbo. I bought my size 2 with a long cable (don't know how long) for 2 @ time socks and I do not like them. The cable is kinked and spiralled. I bought them locally at Ben Franklin with the understanding that they were returnable and then was told they aren't. Guess I won't be spending money on something expensive I want to try there again, and since I won't be looking for needles I wish to get locally, I won't be looking at their yarn and stuff either. Too bad.

This photo posted to the instagram account belonging to Spc. Terry Harrison shows a dozen soldiers clowning around a casket draped in a flag�at a National Guard training facility in Arkansas. The Wisconsin National Guard on Tuesday, Feb. 18, 2014 announced that it had suspended Harrison from honor guard duties after she apparently posted the photo. (AP Photo)
Milwaukee, WI (CNN) - A group photograph showing soldiers clowning around an empty, flag-draped casket has sparked a furor on social media where people say it's disrespectful of veterans and those killed in action.
The Wisconsin National Guard responded Tuesday by announcing that it had suspended the soldier who apparently posted the photograph online from her honor guard duties. The photograph was taken at a guard training facility in Arkansas and included soldiers from other units.
The National Guard also was taking steps to protect the soldier after she received death threats.
The photograph originally posted on Instagram shows about a dozen soldiers around a casket. Several hug playfully. One flashes a peace sign. Another has his back turned and is pointing off in the distance.
The caption reads, "We put the FUN in funeral -- your fearless honor guard from various states."
The photograph was posted from an account belonging to Spc. Terry Harrison, of the Madison, Wisconsin-based 1st Battalion, 147th Aviation Regiment, according to the National Guard. That account has since been closed, but others have reposted the picture and Harrison's comments on multiple social media sites.
Judy Vincent, of Oklahoma, said she saw the picture when a friend reposted it on Facebook.
"It was like somebody slapped me in the face. I've never in my life seen such disrespect for the fallen or the families," said Vincent, whose son died in Iraq in 2004.
Marine Cpl. Scott Vincent was killed near Fallujah by a suicide bomber. His mother said Vincent's friends served as his honor guard and she has no doubt that he was treated with respect. But she knows the photograph has raised doubts among other families.
"It raises questions in your mind," Judy Vincent said. "What did they think of me and was my loved one treated with disrespect?"
Vincent was among the more than 900 people to post comments on the Wisconsin National Guard's Facebook page, most of them asking for Harrison and the other soldiers to be disciplined.
Harrison, a full-time member of the National Guard, has been suspended from Wisconsin's honor guard and assigned to other duties, said Maj. Paul Rickert, the Wisconsin National Guard's director of public affairs.
The Wisconsin National Guard is conducting an investigation of the picture, CBS affiliate WDJT reports.
Wisconsin officials also have notified the National Guard Bureau because the other soldiers in the photograph were from other units, Rickert said. The National Guard Bureau did not return a message left for comment Tuesday.
Attempts to reach Harrison by phone and email were unsuccessful. The National Guard has taken steps to protect her after she received death threats through social media and other means, Rickert said.

In the last movie, we looked at Mixed Ink Swatches. The ability to mix Pantone colors with process colors to make flat tints. Now when you do this with an image instead, it's called printing a Duotone. When done right, Duotones can give an image a sense of depth and richness. When done poorly it just looks like kind of a colorized picture. For example, let me zoom in on these three images and I am going to show three kind of hacks for applying Duotone-like effects to them right within InDesign. First, I will select this middle image with a Selection tool. Apply a background color of let's say this Pantone 361. That might as well make this little bit more dense. Increase the tint up to 70% here and now I will double-click on it to switch to the Direct Selection tool, click once more to select the image itself.
Come over to the Effects panel and set the blending mode of the image to Multiply. That blends the image in using Multiply to that Pantone color and it gets kind of a colorized effect. Here is another colorization technique that we looked at in the Essential Training title. Just select the image and then apply a swatch to it, but in this case, I am going to apply one of these mixed ink swatches. Now I have both black and the Pantone color applied to this image. I personally think it looks kind of flat and kind of dull but you get the idea. It's a Duotone type of effect applied to an image right within InDesign. The last technique works when you have a color image, instead of a grayscale image. The top two images were grayscale but this is an actual color image that we want to turn into a Duotone like effect.
So I have got my color image there. I will go to my Effects panel and set the blending mode to Luminosity. When you do that it sort of sucks out a lot of the color from that image. Now I will double-click on this to switch back to the Selection tool, come back to the Swatches panel and then apply a color to the frame. Let's say something again like 80% of that Pantone color. Now all of these are workable, especially if I were just making a comp for a client, but ultimately they are still hacks. The best way to make a Duotone image is to use the world's best InDesign plug-in. That's right, Adobe Photoshop.
So I am going to revert this whole file back to the way it was originally. Let's revert this back and then I am going to zoom in and I would like to apply a Duotone to this image. So I will Option+Double-click on it, which launches it in its original application. That's Alt+ Double-click on Windows. Opens it up in Photoshop and now I can change this from a grayscale into a Duotone mode. So I will go Image > Mode > Duotone and when you are creating Duotones, I strongly recommend that you try and pick one of the values out of this Preset pop-up menu at the top. These are Duotone curves that Adobe knows are going to work pretty well.
What I typically do is I pick a color that's kind of similar to the one that I want. For example, let's say I wanted a green, so I am going to say green 349, blue 2. So it gives me black and green 349 but in my case I don't want 349, I was working with Pantone 361. So I will click on this green swatch, I will scroll down just a little bit until I get the 361, then click OK. The curves are going to be not perfect for this combination but it's going to be pretty close and when I click OK, I see I get a much richer color effect.
It's not just a colorized image. It's both black and green mixing together to give a really nice Duotone. Let's go ahead and save this to my Desktop. Put it up on my desktop and I am going to call it Duotone and you can choose a number of different file formats for Duotone images. Some people like using EPSs, but ultimately I just save all my Duotones in the Photoshop file format, the PSD file format. It's just the easiest, most robust file format for working with Duotones. I will click Save, switch back to InDesign and I am going to replace this gray scale with that Duotone.
So I will go to Links panel, click Relink and then go grab that Duotone image. Now the key to importing any image that has a spot color is to ensure that the color names, in this case both in Photoshop and InDesign, match exactly. But sometimes you are not so lucky; sometimes the color names don't match for one reason or another. Well all is not lost. In a later movie in this chapter, I am going to be exploring the wacky world of aliasing one ink to another.

Despite adversity and discouragement, an autistic football player from right here at home is making strides no one thought possible.
"Go to the locker room, change and go outside and practice," says Zack Hamilton, a student at Hamilton Middle School.
Doctors said Zack would never play organized sports.
"That he would never ride a bike, you know because of his low muscle tone," says Zack's mom, Tonya Moyer of Parkersburg. "And his physical therapist when he was eight, when he was seven or eight, decided this would maybe be a good thing."
Football keeps him in the inner circle.
"I don't think that kids in the school look at him as an outsider anymore," says Mike Kupfner, assistant football coach at Hamilton. "He's just a brother, 'cause I mean it's a brotherhood here for us -- everything we do; it's family."
For her son to make this kind of progress is priceless for Moyer.
"These guys have done so much for him since he came here," she says. "I could just never thank them all enough, and seeing him excel at something that he actually enjoys is just for him it's the best thing in the world."
It's a new experience for his coaches.
"It's been nothing but, I mean nothing but laughs," Kupfner says. "I mean, he's a super strong kid; I get put in headlocks and get nuggies all the time. "But I mean, it's eye-opening and it's really enjoyable."
High school is the next big milestone.
"Making that transition is the next big thing in his life and that's gonna be hard," Moyer says.
Staying with this group of kids would be a good thing.
And continuing to play football at the high school, Kupfner says.
He adds, "I hope that the high school coaches share the same compassion and stuff that we do down here."
Playing is Zack's passion.
"Make touchdown all day," he says.
Football isn't just helping the 13-year-old socially, but also educationally. This year he is starting to speak and learning to read at Hamilton.

Minutes of the meeting held on July 20, 2010
Present: Chairman Allen Fidler, Vice Chairmen Sue Beasley and Robert Whartenby, Peggy Driscoll, Dennis Fisher, Michael Iapalucci, Fred Olivari and Jay Sensibaugh, members. Also in attendance were: Michele Fountain, Township Engineer, John Torrente, Township Solicitor, Kevin Kochanski, Township Planner and John Boyle, Township Assistant Manager and Jerry Schenkman, Supervisor Liaison.
Call to Order: Mr. Fidler called the meeting to order at 7:30 PM.
Approval of Minutes: Mr. Sensibaugh moved to approve the minutes of July 6, 2010. Mr. Whartenby seconded and the motion passed 7-0-1, with Mr. Olivari abstaining.
Land Development
Luis Flores Minor Subdivision, 595 Linton Hill Road – Sketch Plan: Attorney Charles Marte, Engineer Heath Dumack and Luis Flores were in attendance to review a sketch plan to subdivide a 13.31 acre parcel into three residential building lots in the CM Conservation Management Zoning District. Mr. Flores said that he would like to leave the area surrounding his home and accessory barns intact and create two additional lots in the wooded area to be used by his adult children for their homes. His adjacent neighbors' properties have been similarly subdivided.
Mr. Marte said that the plans are not fully engineered, but some preliminary work has been done and the Township professionals have prepared review letters. It is apparent that some zoning relief will be needed.
Mr. Fidler said that at the sketch plan phase, the Planning Commission usually only reviews the concept for subdivision. Many of the members visited the site in preparation for this evening's meeting. Mr. Fidler said that the property is heavily wooded in the area of the proposed subdivision. He questioned whether less relief would be required if the new lots were carved out of the open area where the existing accessory buildings are located.
Mr. Flores explained that his plan is to locate building lots for his children in the wooded area in order to keep his own home and accessory buildings intact. The additional homes, when built, will not impact his privacy as much.
Mr. Dumack explained that the property has a 1.5 acre pond, waters of the Commonwealth, steams and the existing home site. The plan creates two flag lots in the wooded area, connected by a shared 10 foot wide driveway with two passing areas and a teardrop shaped cul-de-sac where the two homes access the driveway. Relief will be needed to cross the waters of the Commonwealth and the stream, for disturbance of agricultural soils and for crossing wetlands and riparian buffers. The project will use a stormwater management system under the existing driveway.
Mr. Dumack said that the bridge at Linton Hill Road was recently reconstructed; the same engineering principles will be used for this project's crossing. Flood studies will be needed.
Mr. Sensibaugh questioned whether the Ordinance limits the length of the driveways on flag lots.
Mr. Dumack and said that the Ordinance's limit is upwards of 300 feet.
Ms. Fountain said that she would confirm the exact permitted flag driveway length, but this project's driveway will probably be considerably shorter than the limit. The proposed driveway will straddle the lot lines to help reduce the impact of impervious surface on each lot.
The Commission briefly discussed emergency access to the two lots during bad weather as The Bucks County Planning Commission had asked about fire engine access.
Mr. Dumack said that the plans would need to be reviewed by the fire marshal, however it is his understanding that the largest equipment could turn around using a "K" turn if necessary.
Mr. Flores said that he is attempting to keep his home area intact, have minimal disruption to his neighbors and still create building lots for his children. He said that the neighbors to the north are also subdividing and building.
Mr. Fidler explained that while his desire to create homes for his children is understandable, the Planning Commission must keep in mind that once the property is subdivided and variances are granted, the property can be sold. The Commission must keep in mind the environmental impact the subdivision would have on the Township. He asked each member to comment on the concept before the review letters are discussed.
Mr. Olivari said that because the three lots will all be at least 3 acres each he would be supportive of the plan.
Mrs. Driscoll said that she is supportive of the concept but would like to see some effort made to reduce the number and scope of the variances needed as much as possible. She expressed some concern that the wooded area is very wet.
Mr. Marte said that much of the relief needed will be minimal, for example the wetland crossings are very close to what is permitted. He noted that Mr. Flores' neighbors have been supportive of this concept.
Mr. Iapalucci asked about the proposed wetland crossings.
Mr. Dumack explained that there is a swale; the crossing will use a 15 inch pipe under the driveway.
The members briefly discussed the proposed driveway, suggesting possibly two different street entrances rather than one shared drive for the three lots. They also suggested using crushed stone rather than paving, or creating a shared driveway with the adjoining property, which is also being subdivided.
Ms. Fountain said that the adjoining property has similar plans, with a driveway at the northern portion of the lot, farther away from this proposed driveway.
Mr. Iapalucci asked about a sign on the property indicating that it is a wildlife preserve.
Mr. Flores said that the original owner of the property had been a member of an environmental club which posted the property, restricting hunting and trapping. This was not any official action and the property is not in any way registered as a wildlife preserve, nor is it deed restricted.
The members discussed stormwater concerns and plans for a system under the proposed driveway. Mr. Whartenby said that with more detailed topography information, the applicant might be able to reduce the need for some of the variances. He asked whether the wetland delineations have been accepted.
Mr. Dumack said that he is awaiting acceptance on the wetland delineations.
Mr. Flores said that water flows toward his pond. He has never had flooding problems.
At Mr. Sensibaugh's suggestion, the members briefly discussed preservation of the property, perhaps through the County's natural lands program.
Mr. Flores would like to preserve as much of the wooded area as possible while leaving his home and accessory buildings intact, but still creating lots to keep his family close by.
Mr. Fisher noted that the plans call for disturbance of agricultural soils, which has been an issue with other proposed development plans.
The Commission reviewed the letters of CKS Engineers and Boucher and James. Mr. Marte indicated that many of the points are "will comply." The applicant will widen the driveway to 12 feet and add bump outs for vehicles to pass. A survey has not been completed so there are no base site calculations yet. Infiltration testing will be done to determine whether the proposed stormwater system under the driveway will be acceptable.
Mr. Sensibaugh asked about floodways, floodplains and the 100 year storm.
Ms. Fountain confirmed that a floodplain study will be required. The wetland delineation must be approved by the Army Corps of Engineers and given a jurisdictional determination.
Mr. Fidler asked whether the property will be served by public water and sewer.
Mr. Dumack said that each lot will have on-lot well water but will connect via a forced main to the man hole on Linton Hill Road.
Residents Mark and Chi Wanichi Haber said that they appreciate that the plans have kept development to the north portion of the lot. They had some concerns about the impact on the stream, which flows through their property and they were concerned about the removal of large trees.
Mr. Flores again stated that he will attempt to preserve as much of the woodlands as possible.
Mr. Schenkman said that he visited the site and appreciates the Planning Commission's discussion of ways to reduce the need for variances and ways to preserve the woodlands. He will report to the Board of Supervisors about the discussion.
Mr. Fidler said that, as this is a sketch plan, no formal vote of recommendation will be made for the Board of Supervisors. The goal of this evening's discussion is to make the applicant and the Township's consultants aware of areas of concern. The Township's professional consultants will determine the next step.
Conditional Use
The Barn/LaStalla, 18 Swamp Road – Continued Review: Attorney Don Marshall was in attendance to ask the Commission to continue its review until the August 3, 2010 meeting. LaStalla has contracted with a sound consultant who will be running tests next week. Mr. Marshall would prefer working with the Planning Commission after it has been determined whether the sound can be reduced and the impact mitigated.
Mr. Fidler said that he had received a letter from Julia Woldorf, Newtown Borough Council President, urging the Commission to recommend that the conditional use amendment be denied, as the loud amplified music has a negative impact on Borough residents. Mr. Fidler said that the issue of concern to the Commission is not the extended hours of operation, as many of LaStalla's competitors have late night hours. The outdoor entertainment and amplified music is a nuisance. The change in the hours might not be a hurdle if the noise issue could be resolved. The Commission members agreed that the applicant might be more successful if each issue were pursued separately.
Mr. Marshall said that he would proceed to the Board of Supervisors on both issues after the sound engineer has measured levels and the Commission has had an opportunity to discuss ways to mitigate the noise. It would be the Board's decision whether to consider each issue separately. Mr. Marshall provided copies of a map outlining all of the recent police complaints about noise and reviewed the twelve calls on nine dates. He noted that on three of the calls, the police found no issue.
Mrs. Driscoll said that both previous conditional use approvals did not permit outdoor music. She urged the applicant to move the entertainment indoors. She also asked about the requirement to provide valet parking.
Mr. Marshall said that the applicant had provided a valet, but it was not necessary, as parking has been adequate. Should it become necessary again, the valet will be re-instated.
Mrs. Beasley asked that the applicant attempt to comply with the requirements of HARB to preserve the historic barn. The original plans approved by HARB did not have the outdoor bar. Some of the conditions agreed to by the previous owner have not been implemented.
Newtown Borough resident Noelle Finley urged the Commission to not recommend approval of the outdoor entertainment. She noted that she has reviewed the police reports and most are for loud music after 1:00 AM on weekday evenings. Outdoor entertainment and late weekday hours are not permitted in the 2007 conditional use. The restaurant has ample indoor space to move the entertainment indoors. Ms. Finley noted that there have been no complaints of noise for the Green Parrot, Lily's or the Clubhouse, all which have outdoor patios. She expressed concern that if LaStalla is permitted outdoor entertainment, all of the other venues will want the same.
Borough Resident Janet Beasley said that her family is kept awake by loud thumping and whooping at her home on Court Street. She urged the sound consultant to take measurements at this and other locations in the Borough.
Mr. Iapalucci asked whether Ms. Beasley is ever bothered by music at The Temperance House, which is only one block away.
Ms. Beasley's husband, Brian Titus, said that when he was first bothered by the music he walked around the neighborhood to trace the source, which he had assumed was the Temperance House. The music is definitely coming from LaStalla's outdoor patio.
Borough Council President Julia Woldorf said that she has spoken to Borough Police who have told her that complaints are coming from as far away as Elm Street in Newtown Borough. She asked that the consultant take measurements throughout the area of the complaints. She said it is possible that the topography is contributing to sound traveling through the Borough but not disturbing closer neighbors.
The Commission agreed that the sound consultant should take measurements at the property line and at various locations in both the Township and Borough where complaints have been made.
Mr. Boyle said that the noise ordinance as well as the conditional use approval addresses both noise and vibration.
Borough Resident Justin Lewis said that he has been disturbed by the thumping bass sounds until 2:00 AM on weekdays at his Chancellor Street home. He urged the Commission to work toward some kind of compromise to reduce the late night music.
In response to Borough residents' questions, Mr. Fidler explained that although the Township has issued violation notices, the applicant has elected to appeal by way of amending its conditional use. Once the conditional use approval has been decided, the applicant will have to comply with either a new approval or cease its activity and comply with the 2007 approval. He said that he would hope that some compromise solution will be reached.
Mr. Marshall invited Commission members to observe the sound measuring procedure.
Ms. Woldorf said that she has some concern about the expanded entertainment uses which might become part of the Sycamore Street visioning.
Mr. Fidler said that the Commission has been discussing promoting a mix of retail, restaurant, business and residential uses for the Sycamore Street area. When including residential uses in a business district there is added concern about noise, glare and odor. The Commission will be considering these concerns as they make recommendations on future permitted uses.
Mr. Fidler reminded those in attendance that the Commission would continue its discussion at the August 3, 2010 meeting and the Board would hold a hearing on August 11, 2010.
Subcommittee & Liaison Reports
Board of Supervisors: Mr. Schenkman reported that the Board approved the Honey Baked Ham conditional use. The Board has been reviewing the Township Employee Pension Investment Policy Statement.
Mr. Schenkman said that he has been acting as liaison to the Joint Historic Commission. He suggested that a liaison to this group from the Planning Commission might be beneficial.
Newtown Area Regional Planning Commission: Mr. Sensibaugh reported that the Commission and Joint Zoning Council, with the aid of Lynn Bush and Maureen Wheatley of the Bucks County Planning Commission and Jointure Solicitor Jeffrey Garton are fine tuning language for the Historic Preservation ordinance. It has been suggested that if historic structures are noted on plans before the transfer of land occurs, there might be less demolition by neglect of historic structures.
Historic Architectural Review Board: Mr. Fidler reported that he informed the Board of Supervisors that none of the Planning Commission members is available for the morning meetings of HARB. He suggested that HARB schedule afternoon or evening meetings, however the Board did not respond.
Member Comments
Mrs. Beasley noted that the Flores property had been owned by the Funk family, which subdivided its 23 acres to provide flag lots for the Funk grandchildren. Only one of the Funk grandchildren has remained at the property. She said that when considering Mr. Flores' application, the Commission must keep in mind that the subdivision will be permanent.
Mrs. Driscoll asked if there are any updates on the Acme/Promenade property.
Mr. Schenkman said he has only heard unconfirmed speculation but no actual updates.
Mr. Fidler reported that he, Mr. Sensibaugh and Mr. Fisher have received copies of a brochure from DVRPC addressing planning for the future. The brochure encourages municipalities to re-evaluate their 537 plans to accommodate development for the next twenty years.
Mr. Sensibaugh noted that DVRPC considers Newtown a Town Center with a high density downtown district.
Mr. Iapalucci moved to adjourn at 10:10 PM. Mr. Whartenby seconded and the motion passed 8-0.
Respectfully Submitted:
Mary Donaldson, Recording Secretary

Jonathan Elston is a fresh, punchy, gag-driven comic who combines sharp joke writing and quirky observations with a youthful likability that charms his audience and endears him to any room.
However, as with many top comics, success means is Jonathan rarely to be found out of a coach or car. The carbon footprint that Jonathan has created since his career began is big enough to have destroyed a football pitch sized hole in the Brazilian rainforest!
Despite the havoc he is wreaking on the rainforests, Jonathan is steadfast in his focus and continues to be one of the most sought after young acts working the circuit.
'A young comic with incredible talent' (The Guardian).

Keep Jericho
2337 Votes
Issue:Should Jericho be kept on CBS and should someone call the head of CBS to let them know the viewers feelings?
CBS did not give Jericho a fair chance, by asking the cast and crew for seven (1/3 the number of the first season) episodes. CBS changed the time of the showing of the show, a show which could help families to have some positive conversation on their beliefs of the reality of the show, as well as a chance to speculate "what if atomic bombs were to go off in the United States?"
This show gave families a chance to allow children to watch the show without having to worry about sexual innuendos and a chance to bring families closer

I am very disappointed that Jericho has been cancelled. Finally a show with some real substance was on TV. The issues explored on the show were relevant to life in america today and allowed viewers to ask WHAT IF?
Just like a new american revolution was needed there to overthrow the corrupt government, we too have a chance to do that NOW. Look around at your neighbors and the decline of theirs and your quality of life in the past 8 years. It's time for ordinary people, like the ones in Jericho take a stand to protect themselves from the encroaching juggernaught. Yes, it's an election year, time to take a stand. VOTE VOTE VOTE. Doesn't matter who for, just do it. Let's give the power back to the people and take it away from the big businesses and greedy power hungry people that have been calling our toon for years. Give the power back the people. People take the power back. Start at your local level and work your way up. Look at the degredation of your schools, look at the economy. Are you better off today than you were last year or 20 years ago. I think not. Our medical care is an abomination for the elderly and disabled on social security. Yet many don't qualify for foodstamps or medicaid. They go without simple medicines for things like high blood pressure because they can't afford them. It seems the federal poverty level needs to be raised. Changes to these ills will not happen overnight but they can happen if we start now.
A show like Jericho lets you think about these kinds of issues and I have a bad feeling that the powers that be don't want that to happen.

Jericho is a good program that my whole famliy stays up to watch. It's nice to have a good program to look forward to watching on CBS.CBS used to have an all star line up of shows to watch,but it has been going down hill lately with the execption of a few shows,(Jericho) being one of them.It is a good show with a great cast, and a great storie line that keeps you in suspence and I can't ever wait for the next episode. I hope this makes a differance and CBS changes there mind and has a nother season of JERICHO!!!!!!!!!
Submitted on 3-26-2008
Jericho is an awesome show! You need to bring it back. You tried killing the show from the beginning with Season One and now you tried killing it with Season Two by changing the time so people couldn't watch it. I love Jericho and I'm so sick and tired of these whiny reality TV shows. I hate them. Take them off and put Jericho on. If you don't let Sci-Fi or some other channel continue it. Every show I like gets cancelled because of stupid reality shows or some other reason.

Jericho is a family show for a change Something you can watch without having to change the channel We need more of that Reality shows are too annoying and often just inappropriate.

i'm on the verge to stop watching tv all together.they keep canceling good shows & putting crap on !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Jericho is a good Family show, it was a show finally I could sit down with my children and watch, The other show that came on like Brother house showed be canceled and Jericho should of stay on, I will not watch CBS anymore,Jericho was the only show I watched, I guess I have to turn back to reruns of Law and Order, I am serious, Keep Jericho On, or let another station have it to keep it going,
Submitted on 3-25-2008
Jericho is a great show. It is the only thing on CBS worth watching. Me and my wife watch it every week faithfully. Please put the show back on again, but at an earlier time so my kids can watch it too.
Submitted on 3-28-2008
I love Jericho and I can't believe it got canceled again.CBS said all would be resolved in final. I don't think so. Bring Jericho back please I want closure.
Submitted on 4-1-2008
Jericho was one of my personal favorite shows and loved the characters. I personally love history and would have loved to seen where they would have gone with the "revolutionary angle." Please bring it back.

The ITAPS Mesh Adaptation Service has been developed in a way that it can be directly integrated with SciDAC analysis procedures to provide parallel adaptive simulations which greatly increase the reliability of the results obtained. The service that has been developed supports generalized parallel mesh adaptation by controlling the mesh to match the given anisotropic mesh metric field defined on the previous mesh of the domain of interest [1,6,9]. Adaptive loops are the essential collaboration between solver and adapter to achieve more accurate results and robust performance.
Adaptive loop provides the possibility to connect analysis and adaptation components needed for successful simulation on the problem domain. Typically the solution obtained by the analysis routines is converted to the mesh metric size field which dictates how the mesh should be modified to be passed then back to the solver. To ensure adaptive routines work with general curved geometries such as those commonly found in CAD representations, the procedures build on a generalized interaction with the geometric model [2] to ensure the mesh properly represents the domain of interest [7,11]. Since these procedures fully account for the interactions and representation with curved domains they can be extended to support adaptation in which high order spatial discretizations are used [8,9]. Since the meshes needed by SciDAC applications can be on the order of billions of elements, or more, the mesh adaptation service runs in parallel using the same partitioned mesh used by the solver [3,4,10,12,13].
The overall scheme of the adaptive loop procedure is shown on Figure 1. The core of the adaptive loop is the interaction of solver and adapter. Working in parallel with large scale applications, it is important to provide an efficient data transfer between analysis and adaptation parts since working strictly through I/O substantially degrades the performance.
To start an adaptive loop, the initial mesh should be created from the available CAD model and existing attributes assigned to a problem domain. An example of a CAD model and the different levels of mesh refinement to achieve better results at the beginning of the simulation are shown in Figure 2. The pictures in the bottom of Figure 2 are zoomed in to show the detail for the model and each mesh. Since these procedures fully account for the interactions and representation with curved domains they can be extended to support adaptation in which high order spatial discretizations are used.
The example of different stages of adapted mesh during the simulation is depicted on Figure 3.
It has been demonstrated that adaptive loop technology can be added to existing fixed-grid finite element codes with little to no simulation code modification (see Shephard et. al. for more details). The mesh adaptation service has been used to develop adaptive simulations for accelerator modeling, fusion, and other applications including ones with evolving geometries. Among them, the parallel adaptive applications are being run for SLAC [8], PPPL [5], KAPL, NASA, Xerox, the Air Force, and Boeing. All the simulations listed use such ITAPS interface implementation as FMDB and GMI, and such ITAPS services as Mesh Adapt, Mesh Curving and IPComMan.

Morning Skate Report: Flames vs. Senators
News and notes from the Flames morning skate at the Scotiabank Saddledome
Wednesday, 03.5.2014 / 9:09 AM MT / News
By Jason Johnson - CalgaryFlames.com (@jay__jo)
The Flames recalled Corban Knight and Max Reinhart from the Abbostford Heat this morning.
Reinhart has suited up for the Flames in four games this season while Knight will play his first NHL game. The 23-year-old has had an outstanding rookie season with the Abbotsford Heat this season recording 14 goals and 37 points in 57 games.
The High River native will have a large contingent of friends and family in the stands at the Scotiabank Saddledome for his debut and admits he's nervous and excited.
"Yeah I think we'll get a good turn out tonight here from High River," said Knight after the morning skate."
"Ever since I got the call yesterday a lot of memories have been going through my head and my family, they're all going be here tonight so it's going to be pretty special. I'm definitely looking forward to it."
Knight had just finished an afternoon game on Tuesday in Abbotsford when Heat coach Try G. Ward gave him the news that he'd been recalled by Calgary.
"Yesterday we played a game at 10:30 in the morning and after the game I was just eating the post-game meal and our captain came and got me and said the coach was looking for me—it's usually never a good thing when the coach is looking for you—but then he told me the good news so I was pretty pumped."
The pivot has spent the better part of his first professional season working on his three-zone game, something the coaching staff addressed after the Flames training camp in September.
"Obviously you want to play in the NHL and get your shot but I knew that after training camp and talking to the coaches that there was some stuff I needed to work on," said Knight. But I was pretty happy with my development in Abbotsford but I was just trying to be as patient as possible and work on what I needed to work on so defiantly when I got the call it was a relief."
With all the hoopla surrounding the Flames, it's easy to suggest the tilt against the Senators tonight is getting lost in the shuffle.
Pending UFA's Mike Cammalleri, Chris Butler and Lee Stempniak all skated with the club this morning and it was business as usual for Bob Hartley's squad.
The Flames coach said there's nothing the coaching staff can do other than prepare for the game.
"This morning I did my lines. I always write my lines with a pencil so it's easy to erase, even during a game," quipped Hartley. "We know that there are still a few hours to go [until the NHL trade deadline] and you guys are watching and the phones are ringing."
The veterans that have been rumored to be shipped out of Calgary have all been through this before and Hartley reiterated that for them it's nothing new.
"These days it's always veterans that are being dealt and veterans for the most part have been dealt before so they understand it," Hartley said. "We understand how this game goes and this is the deadline so it's no surprise to anyone and we just have to go through it."
Cammalleri admitted there isn't much he can do on a day like today.
"Its just business as usual. There's nothing more to report other than obviously got the phone on with my agent," Cammalleri said.
"I'm going to go with pre-game lunch with the boys right now," he said. "We actually instituted a no phone rule at lunch earlier this season where we put the phones away and we enjoy the human interaction but today we've lifted the ban so the phones will all be on and we'll get our updates that way."
Joni Ortio will start tonight against the Senators, just his second NHL game. In his first start, he dropped a 2-0 decision to the LA Kings on February 27. turning aside 22 shots for a .917% save percentage.
Bob Hartley indicated that TJ Galiardi suffered an injury in the gym on Tuesday and said the forward would not be in the lineup tonight against Ottawa. It's unclear what the nature of the injury is or how long Galiardi might be out for.
David Jones will also be sidelined for 3-4 weeks with an upper body injury from Monday's contest in Minnesota.
"They're all in front of the TV's, they're like a bunch of kids watching Barney. You can't even get their attention." - Bob Hartley on what players do on trade deadline day.
Last 10: Ottawa 5-4-1; Calgary 6-4-0
Season series:This is the first of two meetings between the Ottawa Senators (0-0-0) and the Calgary Flames (0-0-0). The return date comes back in Ottawa on March 30.
Big story: The NHL trade deadline looms today at 3pm ET. The Flames will be looking to end a two game lossing streak to the Senators. The Flames last win over Ottawa came on February 9th, 2011 when they took a 5-2 win in Calgary.
Calgary's All-time record vs. OTT: 15-11-4-1-0
All-time record OTT at CGY: 10-5-1-0-0
Ottawa has won the last two consecutive games, but Calgary has won three of the last five games. Calgary and Ottawa have gone to extra time on seven occassions with the Flames taking two wins, four ties and one loss.
The Flames have won five of the last six games over Ottawa at the Scotiabank Saddledome.

So you might be wondering where Evil Chuck comes from?
It all starts about 10 years or so ago. My sister gave me a shirt, and not any ordinary shirt by any means. It had a very menacing looking face on the front. A face very reminiscent of the yellow happy faces that were so ever popular in the 80's, only meaner.
I wore it a few times, and it got lost in the far reaches of my dresser, or possibly the floor of my room, as there were more clothes usually on my floor than my dresser.
The shirt passed through time and eternity, somehow staying in my possession through the end of high school and college. I was reunited with this shirt when I got married and had to pull all of my clothes off of the floor and actually hang them in a closet.
One day I decided to wear the shirt to work. I can't remember if I wore it on purpose, or if it was by predestination. Nonetheless, I happened to be a bit more, shall we say, opinionated and assertive than usual. It was on that same day that my shirt was dubbed the Evil Chuck shirt by my co-workers.
Ever since that day the shirt has been surrounded in an air of mystery. The legend of the shirt quickly spread around. I knew that it would be a thing of legend when I came in to work wearing the shirt one day, and the first words that I heard from my boss were, "Oh crap!"
And that's it. The story of how Evil Chuck came to being has now been told, and its legend will, no doubt, spread even further and wider. I'm not sure yet what will become of this blog, but I'm sure that it should be fun. And I promise to not be evil, unless, of course, if I happen to be wearing the shirt when I blog. :)

Health Information > Condition Information > Sleep Disorders: Types > Restless Legs Syndrome (RLS) > Restless Legs Syndrome Symptoms
Reviewed on 12/12
By Dr. Harrington
The symptoms of restless legs syndrome occur most often at night when you are sitting or lying down to rest. It is an uncomfortable feeling in the lower legs and sometimes in the arms. These feelings have been described as "creeping," "crawling," or "aching." Children may describe symptoms thought to be "growing pains." Moving the legs or walking relieves these feelings. However, they quickly recur when leg motion stops. The symptoms can make it hard for a person to fall asleep and cause frequent awakenings during the night, after which it can be hard to return to sleep because of the discomfort in the legs. People with RLS may also be sleepy during the day. For some people, the symptoms gradually worsen over time.
Periodic limb movement disorder is a related disorder, in which people move their toes, feet, ankles, or legs during sleep. They may be unaware of these movements during sleep, but a sleep partner may notice them. While most people with RLS also have periodic limb movement disorder, the two disorders are not the same, and most people with periodic limb movement disorder do not have RLS.
These symptoms of RLS or periodic limb movements could also indicate other sleep disorders and should be mentioned to your healthcare provider:

MPI - Yokes and Coils
Magnetic Particle Inspection (MPI) is a Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) and Evaluation (NDE) method for detecting surface and slightly subsurface discontinuities (cracks and defects). A magnetic field is induced into ferromagnetic materials, with fine or course Magnetic Particles applied to the magnetized part, particles are attracted to and outline the edges of magnetic-leakage fields created by discontinuities.
Yokes are the power tools of Magnetic Particle Inspection. These handheld electromagnets create a magnetic field into a workpiece. The most common type of Yoke is an AC Model.
Everything you need to go with your Yokes to run the tests.
The most sophisticated Coils in the industry - MAG / DEMAG / AC and DC.

Barrie Osborne, part of the Oscar-winning team behind the Lord of the Rings films, says the new production 'will educate people about the true meaning of Islam'
Click to view image: '15d0887d346c-76576.jpg' - Barry Osbourne
Producer Barrie Osborne cast Keanu Reeves as the messiah in The Matrix and helped defeat the dark lord Sauron in his record-breaking Lord of the Rings trilogy. Now the Oscar-winning American film-maker is set to embark on his most perilous quest to date: making a big-screen biopic of the prophet Muhammad.
Budgeted at around $150m (£91.5m), the film will chart Muhammad's life and examine his teachings. Osborne told Reuters that he envisages it as "an international epic production aimed at bridging cultures. The film will educate people about the true meaning of Islam".
Osborne's production will reportedly feature English-speaking Muslim actors. It is backed by the Qatar-based production company Alnoor Holdings, who have installed the Muslim scholar Sheikh Yusuf Al-Qaradawi to oversee all aspects of the shoot. In accordance with Islamic law, the prophet will not actually be depicted on screen.
"The film will shed light on the Prophet's life since before his birth to his death," Ahmed Abdullah Al-Mustafa, Alnoor's chairman, told al-Jazeera. "It will highlight the humanity of Prophet Muhammad."
The as-yet-untitled picture is due to go before the cameras in 2011. It remains to be seen, however, whether it will be beaten to cinemas by another Muhammad-themed drama. Late last year, producer Oscar Zoghbi announced plans to remake The Message, his controversial 1976 drama that sparked a fatal siege by protesters in Washington DC. The new version, entitled The Messenger of Peace, is currently still in development.

The Daily Start-Up: StraighterLine Books $10M For Cheaper Online Ed
Top stories in today's VentureWire:
StraighterLine has secured $10 million in Series B funding to help students defray the early costs of going to college. The company provides online general education courses–those you'd take in the early years of school, such as Precalculus, History I or General Physics–but at a steep discount when compared with traditional four-year colleges.
Taking a page from the book of larger medical centersthat have started mentorship and investment operations, hospital-and-clinic operator Rex Healthcare has launched Rex Health Ventures, which in the coming years will back as many as 15 North Carolina-based medical-technology start-ups. It has its eye out for information technology, medical devices and cancer-care technologies.
Also in today's VentureWire: Unmetric said it has raised $3 million to develop its new scoring method for Fortune 500 companies' social-media branding…EndPlay, a maker of content-management software for media publishers, has secured about $4 million in bridge funding in anticipation of a larger round at the end of the year…and some Wall Street banks are whittling the ranks of clean-technology-focused investment bankers, with Bank of America, Canaccord Genuity and Deutsche Bank losing top bankers in the sector, VentureWire has learned.
(VentureWire is a daily newsletter with comprehensive analysis of all the investments, deals and personnel moves involving start-ups and their venture backers. For a two-week trial, click here.)
Elsewhere around the Web:
This week's IPO lineup includes three venture-backed technology companies. Infoblox, Proofpoint and Splunk are among the five companies expected to take a public bow. Splunk and Infoblox, in particular, are drawing attention.
FirstMark Capital can't seem to stay out of the classroom. Having backed StraighterLine, featured above, the firm is making another bet on the education sector, leading a $6 million round for Schoology's cloud-based learning technology.

It's hard to overstate the positive impact from today's announcement that Sikeston's Good Humor-Breyers plant here will soon expand. An initial 70 new jobs are planned along with a $17 million plant expansion. Once completed, the plant will employ nearly 1,000 workers in an around-the-
clock operation.
The state of Missouri put the deal over the top when officials agreed to fund a $500,000 wastewaster improvement for the plant. Now Good Humor will start the process of adding production capacity to the plant.
Sikeston's Economic Development Director Ed Dust deserves his share of credit as does the plant manager Kelly Harms. Sikeston's Board of Municipal Utilities has worked closely with the plant to make the expansion possible.
Good Humor has always been a good corporate citizen for our community. Their work force is dedicated and involved in the community. And with the $17 million expansion announcement, obviously the plant is among the most efficient in North America. Our community should be proud that this excellent firm calls Sikeston home.
Community leaders have long awaited today's announcement. It marks a milestone in terms of the quality jobs it will bring and the added payroll that will circulate in our community. And the work force comes not just from Sikeston. Several communities throughout our area are home to Good Humor employees.
Sikeston has sorely needed a shot of good news on the employment front. Today's announcement speaks volumes about the quality of the management and the employees at Good Humor-Breyers and the dedication and hard work provided by a host of officials who made this project a reality.
Our community thanks all of those involved.
