Detective shows and their viewers are in love with forensic evidence. And that's a good thing for TV cops, because recent research has proven a lot of slam-dunk trial evidence to be problematic at best. Eyewitnesses can be unreliable and confessions can be coerced.
The latter is the subject of the "Frontline" (9 p.m., PBS, check local listings) report "Confessions" about four Navy sailors accused, tried and convicted of a brutal rape and murder that took place in 1997. After a jury heard their taped and very detailed admission of guilt, their fate was all but sealed.
In a painstakingly detailed report, "Frontline" shows how each man was pressured into confession by means of techniques including sleep deprivation, physical intimidation and the threat of execution. After one man "confessed" to actions that contradicted the physical autopsy evidence, he was rebrutalized to change his story to fit the reports.
Former police officers and experts appear here to show how they can use tactics not all that far from torture to make anybody admit to anything just to stop the agonizing process.
All four men are now out of prison. One served his sentence and the other three were granted conditional pardons.
-- Ever wonder what happens to all of the stuff, er treasures, that people stuff into storage lockers? The new series "Auction Hunters" (10 p.m., Spike) tracks two competitive auction "prospectors" who bid on the possessions hidden inside the lockers that become available once their renters default on their payment. Given only seconds to glance at the units, the rival teams have to make instant decisions that can reward them with a gold mine or saddle them with the burden of a dead-beat's unwanted trash. It's kind of a down-market "Let's Make a Deal." Bet there's a Broyhill Sectional Sofa in there somewhere.
-- Not to be confused with "Project Runway," a show it all but copies, "The Fashion Show" (10 p.m., Bravo) returns with a dozen new high-strung designers under the tutelage of host Isaac Mizrahi and co-host and model Iman, who exhibits a brittle beauty and a chilling, other-worldly delivery seemingly more suited to science fiction than a talent show. I try to pretend I care, but I fail every time.
-- The "30 for 30" (8 p.m., ESPN) documentary "The Best That Never Was" recalls 1981 and the much-anticipated football career of high school star Marcus Dupree.
-- In case you hadn't noticed, Syfy pulled the plug on "Caprica" last week. Fans can console themselves with "Stargate Universe" (9 p.m., Syfy). Or maybe they can't.
-- TV-themed DVDs available today include "thirtysomething: The Complete Final Season."
-- Stephanie's parents detect a change in the air on "No Ordinary Family" (8 p.m., ABC, TV-PG).
-- "NOVA" (8 p.m., PBS, check local listings) examines the genetic differences between wolves and dogs.
-- Creative repression on "Glee" (8 p.m., Fox, TV-14).
-- A valuable ally is slain on "NCIS: Los Angeles" (9 p.m., CBS, TV-14).
-- A lack of health insurance hits hard on "Raising Hope" (9 p.m., Fox, TV-14).
-- On two episodes of "In Treatment" (HBO, TV-MA), Jesse's mother is distracting (9 p.m.), Paul's headaches worsen (9:30 p.m.).
-- Steve hosts a fantasy wedding on "Running Wilde" (9:30 p.m., Fox, TV-PG).
-- Opposing counsel more than impresses on "The Good Wife" (10 p.m., CBS, TV-14).
-- Adam goes to the mat for Max on "Parenthood" (10 p.m., NBC, TV-14).
-- Two very different murders may be linked on "Detroit 1-8-7" (10 p.m., ABC, TV-14).
-- The documentary "The Longoria Affair" on "Independent Lens" (10 p.m., PBS, check local listings) recalls how the Mexican American Civil Rights movement was sparked after a Texas funeral home refused to handle the remains of Felix Longoria, killed during World War II. The only excuse they offered was, "the whites wouldn't like it."
-- The IRA demands proof on "Sons of Anarchy" (10 p.m., FX, TV-MA).
A performance artist-preacher lampoons consumerism in the 2007 documentary "What Would Jesus Buy?" (8:20 p.m., Sundance).
Tony's dad returns on "NCIS" (8 p.m., CBS, TV-PG) ... Nathan's career advances on "One Tree Hill" (8 p.m., CW, TV-14) ... Cate fishes for details on "Life Unexpected" (9 p.m., CW, TV-PG).

Definition of self-incompatible in English:
(Of a plant or species) unable to be fertilized by its own pollen.
Example sentences

- Clusters of genetically identical plants, for example, limit the number of mates available to self-incompatible species with limited pollen dispersal.
- Ideally seed orchards should contain only self-incompatible trees to eliminate production of selfed seed.
self-incompatibility noun
- Example sentences
- They may also have roles in pollen tube self-incompatibility and in plant defence responses.
- Gametophytic self-incompatibility is a widespread mechanism in flowering plants that prevents self-fertilization and promotes out-crossing.
- This cryptic self-incompatibility may effectively reduce geitonogamous self-fertilization, because stigmas probably receive outcross and geitonogamous pollen simultaneously.

Do u use wipes when changing wet diaper?
1) Urine is not harmful to the skin. It's sterile and while the pH is acidic, so is the skin.
2) Overwiping and overcleaning can cause serious problems for a baby including yeast infection, iritation and (believe it or not) diaper rash. Our baby had to switch to formula and then back to BF. This caused her to poop ALOT, which meant we cleaned her ALOT. This caused a pretty severe rash. We ended up doing water baths and just hanging out on puppy pad like material to dry out instead of wiping.
Not wiping for wet diapers isn't gonna hurt anything. We do it for soaked diapers and poopy diapers but leave it be for the rest. (And the rule is.. if the mess if enough for 4 wipes.. it's just time for a bath instead).
I use wipes, and Air dry then vasoline for protection, way cheaper than diaper cream. I used diaper cream when there was a rash though which wasnt often
Zombie thread!! from 2011
No I never wipe for pee changes, and she has had zero diaper rash or irritation.

Political and labor posters reflect the desire of man for a better life "� for himself, his family and his country. An exhibit running at the Casa da Saudade Library in New Bedford through Monday showcases more than 40 such posters from Portugal, spanning 1977 to 2012.
Labor posters trace the struggle for better working conditions in Portugal, the Azores and the Madeira Islands as its people struggled for better or equal pay and safer conditions in a variety of industries. Some of the unions depicted in the exhibit include Confederacao Geral de Trabalhadores de Portugueses, or General Confederation of Portuguese Workers (CGTP), and Union Geral Trabalhadores or General Union of Workers (UGT).
The political posters refer to Portuguese citizens' demand for a democratic government via the "Carnation Revolution" in the early 1970s. More recent posters convey unrest aimed at austerity measures.
The posters are from the private collection of Stephen Lewis, a longtime activist in the U.S. labor movement, and former treasurer of his union.
The Casa da Saudade Library is at 58 Crapo St., New Bedford, and is open 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday and Wednesdays, noon to 8 p.m. Tuesdays and Thursdays, and 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturdays. For more information, call (508) 991-6218.

Flexibility with Cross Sectionscomments (0) July 17th, 2009 in blogs
I don't use a lot of cross-sections in my design documents, but occasionally I find them extremely effective. They are particularly useful where it is difficult, with normal visualizations, to see how things are fitting together. Here are examples of particular cross-sections I find helpful using this Shaker Cupboard Chest as an example.
Drawer construction can be difficult to "see", and I will typically create a cross-section view through the drawer side. First I will make the assembled drawer a component. With the assembled drawer selected and set for "editing", I use the Section Tool, move the cursor to the drawer side, and click the mouse. You will notice that the Section Tool changes colors based on the cutting plane. In this case I want the cutting plane to be parallel with the face of the drawer side. Moving the cursor to that side face will automatically align the desired cutting plane.
Note that by placing the cross-section within the component, the cutting plane is confined to the component only. This is desirable to prevent the cutting plane from displaying over the entire model space.
Here is the drawer with the inactive cutting plane showing on the drawer side. With the Move/Copy Tool, shift the cutting plane to the desired position within the side (this is done while the drawer component is being "edited").
Since the cross-section is now within the component definition of the drawer assembly, every copy of the drawer assembly will show this cutting plane. But in the overall Cupboard Chest view above, I've used the drawer assembly component and the cutting plane is not showing. Often, I want to hide this cutting plane in component copies and to do this I use a new Style.
In the Styles dialog box, I create a new Style, and edit it to not show section cuts. After creating a new Style, and picking the edit tab, click on the last cube icon called Modeling Styles. In the pop up box uncheck the boxes called Section Planes and Section Cuts. Now save this new Style and also apply it to the specific Scene by updating the Scene.
Here is the same assembled drawer without the cutting plane but in a different scene saved with the new Style.
To show the active section cut, I set up a new Scene based on the standard right side camera position and set Camera to Parallel Projection. Here is the result, showing how the drawer bottom, front, and back fit into the side. With this view I can tell if there are any interferences or problems with the bottom groove and the dovetail joints.
The door is another example where sections are helpful in visualizing the fit-up of the various parts. In this case, I've placed two sections within the door assembled component. I set up scenes for each of these section cuts by right clicking on the section and selecting Active Cut from the pop-up menu.
Here are the two scenes, one cut through the door panel, and the other through the upper rail. With these views, I can see how the beveled panel fits into the stile grooves, and also how much expansion space is available.
In this example, we have a back panel with tongue and groove construction.
Again I set the cutting plane within the component definition and move it down a short distance from the upper surface where I initially placed the section.
This view confirms proper connection of the tongue and groove and shows the expansion space.
Sometimes I use the cross-section to verify overall construction integrity - I'll use sections as an inspection tool. With the Move/Copy Tool, I can shift the cutting plane to any location and quickly have a look. I usually find funny things that are quickly identified and corrected.
Here is an example of using the section tool for inspection in the overall assembly.
I've convinced myself that I should use cross-sections more often.

NAB Eyes Islamic Bond Issuance Down Under
Growing appetite for Islamic finance is spurring both large and small Australian financials to boost their offering of Sharia-compliant fixed-income assets, the head of the country's first Islamic wealth manager said on Thursday.
National Australia Bank Ltd., or NAB, is considering selling up to US$500 million in Islamic bonds in what would be the first issuance of Sharia-compliant debt securities in Australia, two people familiar with the deal told Dow Jones Newswires.
The bonds would be structured to comply with Muslim law by paying a profit from the bond, rather than interest, which is banned in Islam. A spokeswoman for NAB declined to comment.
Issuance of Sharia-compliant bonds, known as sukuk, tumbled in the wake of Dubai's debt crisis and turmoil in global financial markets. But sales rebounded sharply to a record $32.6 billion in 2011 and issuance so far in 2012 of $10.4 billion is already more than double the same period last year, according to data from Dealogic.
Managing Director of Islamic wealth manager Crescent Wealth, Talal Yassine, said there is "enormous pent-up demand for this kind of product" in Australia in the wake of the global financial crisis, as investors are looking for less risky investments that offer a defined income stream.
"What NAB is seeking to do is enter that market and the likely buyers are Qatar's [sovereign] wealth fund and Malaysian investors, and maybe from the U.S.," Mr. Yassine said. "Maybe down the line they might [look to] someone like us but we're not looking at NAB bonds."
Islamic banking assets total more than US$1 trillion worldwide while Islamic equity funds comprise around US$50 billion, according to data from Ernst & Young. Crescent estimates the investable universe for Islamic funds in Australia is worth between US$4 billion and US$8 billion, with potential to grow to between US$7 billion and US$13 billion by 2019.
Crescent will launch its own Islamic cash management fund in the next six weeks in partnership with HSBC, in a bid to tap the growing appetite for fixed-interest products in the Muslim community. HSBC will use the money to buy assets, such as commodities, and the profits from that will be used to pay investors in the fund a fixed return of 3.45% a year.
"I'm getting two to three calls a week from organizations asking: 'Have you launched it yet?'" Mr. Yassine said. "We're focused on wholesale investors but we've also got people in the community looking at it from a retail perspective."
The product is one of four Sharia-compliant products Crescent will have on offer by the end of 2012, which include its equities fund and Thomson Reuters-backed Islamic index, both launched last year, and its planned superannuation offering, which will be made public later this year. Over the past six months, the equities fund has returned 3.9%, outperforming its benchmark, the ASX 300, by 0.4%.
Mr. Yassine said he expects Crescent's products to appeal to investors far beyond Australia's Islamic community. Of the $3.8 billion under management by Crescent's U.S.-based partner, Saturna Capital, he estimates $9 out of every $10 comes from outside the Muslim community, a ratio he believes can be replicated Down Under.
"It's about not investing in morally-hazardous businesses, and that's an idea all Australians can invest in," Mr. Yassine said.

Great oven!
By Ellen
We love this oven. The convection setting is fantastic and we started using it for most things. Our food turns out wonderfully!
By Judy
On 2/23/13 I purchased the Electrolux Built-In Wall Oven with the Convection Baking and I was very excited about using it. I am a pastry, pizza, bread and yeast bun maker and wanting to get an even browning on my buns was my purpose for buying a Convection Baking oven. My previous oven was a GE conventional baking oven and I had to turn the sheet of buns around to get even browning and could only put in one sheet at a time. I spent serious money for this new oven with no improvement over the previous 27" conventional bake GE built in. I still have to turn the sheets front to back and can only bake one sheet at a time as one sheet browns at a different time than the other sheet.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Love my new oven
By Roger
As the chief cook and bottle-washer, I use my oven on a daily basis. The controls are great and the oven cooks very evenly. It heats rapidly and doesn't leak much heat into the kitchen. It has worked flawlessly from the first day. I installed it myself and had no difficulty getting the trim to fit the opening. The breadproof is a little warm (100 degrees) but you can set it down to 85 and it works great. I cooked turkeys for Thanksgiving and Christmas and they were perfect. (and these were large 24 pound turkeys which are not easily done in a 27 inch oven).

Another Ironman journey
Nice hat Yank !!!
evenin' all
(is it just me or is anyone else having problems loading this site recently? )
anyway, I am on the road to recovery (yet again ) the black eyes are going down - a delightful shade of yellowy brown at the moment - and the bruising is improving (I can now sit comfortably lol). Managed a half hour run on saturday and an hour on my mtb yesterday.
I may have to do a charity bike ride on sunday with a friend (long story), it'll be 40 miles on road on my mtb as E will be on hers and "very slow", so it'll be a test of mental fortitude
^ nice !
Glad to hear you're on the mend Fraggle.
Our lovely local GB age grouper was in the pool with me yesterday, and she got me to practise drafting her (she did have to slow down a fair bit!). I was surprised just how much difference I could feel. She also swam over the top of me a couple of times to give me an idea how that feels. Interesting enough in the controlled environment of the pool, must be a shocker in OW. I did explain that there would be nobody behind me to swim over me at Outlaw!
Oh, and Will - you're mental
^^ what she said !Fraggle ... sounds like an ideal come back ride to me, please wear plenty of padding tho, we know what you are like I shall have a quick run after work before a little social coffee drinking
Well I ignored all advice (I am a bloke after all ) and went back to my old, minimalist running shoes this morning and had the most enjoyable run I've had for months. Even think I might be able to finish the IM run now!
But here's a question for you - who has right of way on a pavement (sidewalk for you IY). I was running on the right hand pavement, with the traffic coming towards me. As I approached a petrol station (gas station IY), a man in a Jag started to head for the exit, which meant crossing the piece of pavement I had probably just entered. Now, i looked at him and he was watchnig the traffic coming down the hill, as you would, but I thought any moment he'll look up, see me, slow down and smile. No way, he just kept looking up the road and drove start at the piece of tarmac I was occupying!!. I managed to put a couple of long strides in and he must have missed me by an inch or two - still oblivious to my presence!
Now I would have though as he is a motorise vehicle crossing a pavement, he should give way (there are no white lines anywhere) - which I pointed out to him in a polite, succinct manner!
Two miles later a women pulled out of her drive and did the same thing!!
So who was in the right??
As fas as I'm aware Raf, vehicles always have to give way to pedestrians. Meldy will have the answer.
Raf I'd say you were right, cars never have a "right" to hit a person.
Also if you're pulling onto a road you have to give way to oncoming traffic whether it's car, horse, bike or person.
I expect mistress M.eldy will know - but her judgement may be clouded by the fact she believes anyone would have the right to hit me
I would say unless the pavement has marking which clearly state that it has ended (as you get with cycle paths et.c) then the veh is crossing the pavement which makes the person who is on the pavement the one with right of way. The driver of the veh should be taking due care and attention when crossing and joining the flow of traffic .... or put simply, have a bit of common sense !!
Damn .... I missed Rafis post !!
Halfway through IM UK training. Better get serious!
Very impressive IY! Next we'll have to work on spelling....colour, programme, .....
Just been out for a wee spin. I was rather pleased at doing the first 12 miles in 40 mins, then I turned to head home and realised just why I had felt I was flying along. The homeward half took an hour and 15 mins. Jeeeeezus, it's windy. Having to pedal to get downhill is not a lot of fun.
I know the feeling Nursey! One route I do takes in part of the Windsor Olly course - a long straight road. Its a great feeling flying down there at 26, 27 mph until you realise its wind assisted and its going to be one long hard slog back!!
Good work everyone. Sooo nice to see the sun once in a while.
Quick question. As I've mentioned before, I'm planning on tackling the full distance in the summer of '14. By then I'll be the proud Dad of a 3 and a half year old and, fingers crossed, another very small bundle of joy.
Has anyone any advice or experience of training for the full distance in similar circumstances? I'm really interested in seeing how people cope with the training, the lack of sleep etc etc.
I'm of the mind that it's doable and that organisation will be key. I'm also coming around to the view that I'll roll out a minimal training plan as proposed by Matt Fitzgerald et al which seems really interesting and very unlike anything I've done in the past.
Anyway - any advice as ever greatly received.

Sara Bohan took the path less traveled to diving.
The Sebring senior was actually a budding gymnast as a youngster, and diving wasn't even on the radar.
"I had done gymnastics my entire life, all the way through 7th and 8th grade, until my gym closed down," Bohan said. "So my mom guided me towards diving, and I've loved it ever since."
Bohan, who also played soccer and volleyball in middle school, had the athletic background to tackle a new sport. So when she was paired with Sebring dive coach James Dion, a formidable duo was formed.
"I've been so blessed to have coach Dion these last four years," Bohan said. "He's really impacted my life, not just my diving career."
This year, Bohan captured the Class 2A-District 9 diving title, tallying an impressive 353.85 points. In the regional meet, she was one of only five girls to break the 300-point threshold. Bohan finished second with 313.00, which was good enough to earn a trip to the state finals where she capped her high school career by finishing 19th out of 24 participants.
For her efforts, Bohan has been selected as the 2013 Highlands Today All-Highlands Girls Diver of the Year. This is the second straight season that she's won the prestigious award.
"It's such an honor to be chosen by the coaches," Bohan said. "I'm really grateful, especially since this was my senior year. I enjoyed diving so much more this season, because I realized I might never do it again."
Along with more pressure, Bohan's senior season brought added responsibility. Younger Blue Streaks looked to her as a leader, but her coaches knew she was up to the challenge.
"She was a great mentor," said Sebring's swimming coach Pat Caton. "Her experience really helped her with that. She was outstanding."
Bohan, who has tentative plans to dive in college, ranks academics as her highest priority.
"My main focus is school," she said. "I'd really like to dive in college - and there are schools that have shown interest - so if the university has a diving team, that's great. But I'm just looking at it from academic angle and trying to get my education settled first."
Bohan has an interest in marine biology, so staying in Florida is also a priority. She's looked at schools all over the state, most notably Lee County's Florida Gulf Coast University and Florida State in Tallahassee. But wherever she decides to begin her next chapter in life, Bohan knows she'll have her parents' full support.
"They've just been so supportive," she said. "My mom went to FSU, and she's mentioned that she'd like for me to go there. But they've both been great about letting me do what I want to do, whether that includes diving or not."
The Team
Tammy Hutchins, freshman, Avon Park - Hutchins was one of Avon Park's freshman phenoms. She's the younger sister of All-Highlands Boys Diver of the Year Domonic Hutchins, and excelling in the sport seems to be Hutchins family trait. Unlike most other underclassmen, Hutchins worked on 11 different dives this season. At the Class 2A-Distrit 9 meet earlier this year, she tallied 278 points.
"She's just been so great," said Avon Park diving coach Shane Wirries. "We usually start slow, working in a few dives, helping the kids with their technique and increasing the degree of difficulty as the season goes along. But out of all the girls, who were all brand new, Tammy was just so far ahead of the curve."
Robbye Teal, junior, Lake Placid - Teal was one of a handful of Lake Placid divers to compete in the Class 1A-District 6 diving meet in Winter Haven back in October. She had the highest point total of any Green Dragons girl, finishing second overall with 266.25 points. Her quick turnaround after a head injury drew a lot of praise from her coaches.
Phoebe Phypers, freshman, Lake Placid - Phypers nabbed sixth place at the 1A-6 meet, tallying an impressive 249.20 points for the second-highest finish on the Green Dragons girls team.
"Phoebe brings passion every time she steps onto the pool deck," said Lake Placid diving coach D.J. Brouwer. "She goes right to the diving boards to work or better herself and her team."
Destiny Johnson, freshman, Lake Placid - Johnson was the only other female diver aside from Phypers and Teal who competed for the Green Dragons in the 1A-6 district meet in Winter Haven. Only a freshman, Johnson amassed over 200 points (206.80) in her first district meet, which was good for seventh place. But her disposition is what's really impressed Brouwer.
"Destiny is very practical," he said. "She always shows concern for her teammates."
Honorable Mention
Sarah Higher, junior, Avon Park - A standout on the plank for Avon Park, Higher was noted for ability to balance both swimming and diving over the season, routinely getting the Red Devils points whether she was doing laps in the pool or springing off of the diving board.
"She dove really well," Wirries said. "We could always count her to get us a few points."
Sumintra Williams, senior, Avon Park - One of the few senior divers on the Red Devils, Williams was also adept at balancing swimming and diving throughout the season.
"She's another diver that I just wish I had more time with," Wirries said. "She's shown improvement over the year, especially in her comfort on the board. She did a really good job."
Coach of the Year
For his efforts in rejuvenating the girls diving program at Avon Park, Shane Wirries has been selected as the Highlands Today All-Highlands Girls Diving Coach of the Year.

Carter, Richards Excited to Face Penguins, Crosby
Wednesday, 09.7.2005 / 12:00 AM ET / News
Philadelphia Flyers
Voorhees, NJ – When the NHL bosses decided that every team would face its division rivals eight times apiece during the regular season, it meant that many rivalries would be renewed and even intensified. While the Flyers and Pittsburgh Penguins have been on opposite ends of the Atlantic Division standings the past couple of seasons and the games not as competitive as previous years, that is all about to change.
Not only has Pittsburgh added former longtime Flyers Mark Recchi and John LeClair, but also there is another less obvious competition among former teammates that will take shape.
Flyers rookies Jeff Carter and Mike Richards and Penguins rookie and first overall draft choice of 2005 Sidney Crosby were all a part of the gold-medal winning World Junior Championship team of 2005, representing Canada. Carter registered 10 points in six games, including seven goals, which tied him for first in the tournament. Richards, the team captain, posted five points (1G, 4A) while Crosby finished with nine (6G, 3A).
All three stood out as world-class players who were ready to make an impact at the NHL level.
While it has been Crosby getting all of the attention from the national media ever since draft day (and even before), Carter and Richards have been praised as well as, being part of the next class of potential superstars, although not nearly as much as Crosby.
I kind of like flying under the radar, to be honest, said Carter. I'm not too worried about all that, because [Crosby] deserves everything that he's got so far.
He's a really good player, and a good kid off the ice, said Richards. He's really serious with hockey, and takes everything very seriously. You learn a lot of stuff from him just being around him, being on the ice and being around him in the dressing room.
One advantage that Carter and Richards have over Crosby is pro experience. Carter spent the end of the last two seasons playing with the Phantoms, while Richards came on at the end of last season as the two helped the Flyers' AHL affiliate capture the Calder Cup Championship. Carter led the league in postseason points with 23 (12G, 11A) in 21 games and Richards added 15 points (7G, 8A) in 14 games.
Crosby has yet to play a pro game on any level.
It was huge, said Carter of his time with the Phantoms. Last year, just getting to know the pro game and getting familiar with the guys was a big part of it. It just makes it so much easier to come in and get settled.
Getting a little bit of pro hockey under your belt really helps, said Richards. I think last year playing 15 games in the playoffs where it's that much faster; hopefully I can roll that experience over into this year.
They also have the benefit of being with one another every step of the way since they were both drafted by the Flyers in the first round of the 2003 NHL Entry Draft.
We have been going through the same things over the past couple weeks and even years, and throwing ideas around each other, said Richards. Last year, winning the Calder Cup together brings us together a little bit more, but it's nice to have a guy around who goes through similar situations as you are.
Regardless of the fact that the pair does have that extra experience, as well being two years older than Crosby, both acknowledge the fact that a friendly, yet intense, rivalry is a good bet to happen – and fairly quickly. The Penguins come to Philadelphia for the first game between the teams on October 14 as the Flyers' fourth game of the season. The teams will play one another four times before Christmas.
Richards remains close friends with Crosby and welcomes the challenge, but knows that once the puck drops, it is all about getting the "W."
I've talked to Sid a couple times over the past few months and we discussed it a little bit. It's going to be fun. I think you always look forward to playing against a guy like that, because you know what he can do.
He's obviously a great player, and our friendship is pretty good, but on the ice it's all business.

SACRAMENTO, Calif. - Tucker Rocky settled this month with the California Air Resources Board to pay a civil penalty of $500,000 for marketing and selling emissions-related parts not approved by the board.
According to the notice posted on the CARB website, the board applied the penalty to about 1,356 units at about $369 per unit.
In 2011, the CARB determined that Tucker Rocky and Biker's Choice were advertising, offering for sale, and/or selling aftermarket critical emission control parts that were not exempted from California's anti-tampering laws.
The $500,000 penalty pertains to both on-highway and off-road parts sold or marketed between Jan. 1, 2009, and June 5, 2013. The retail price of the parts ranged roughly from $129 to $1,288, with the average price being about $395.
Texas-based Tucker Rocky has no prior enforcement record with CARB.
Tucker Rocky provided CARB with all needed information during the agency's investigation of the matter, and has further agreed to institute a voluntary compliance plan that will inform its dealers and customers of which motorcycle aftermarket parts are legal for sale in the state, according to the agency.

Buccaneers rookie linebacker Mason Foster has been fined $20,000 for his helmet-to-helmet hit on Patriots' receiver Chad Ochocinco during last Thursday's game.
Foster was flagged for unnecessary roughness on the first-quarter play, in which Ochocinco was going over the middle and was drilled by Foster. One of the new player-safety rules being emphasized this year is that hits on "defenseless" players, as Ochocinco was (he was looking toward the ball and didn't see Foster) draw the 15-yard penalty and are subject to a fine.
On Friday, Ochocinco tweeted to Foster that it was "a great hit" and that he would reimburse the rookie if he was fined.
And moments after news came that Foster had been fined, Ochocinco was on Twitter again, this time sending a message to NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell, saying he didn't agree with the penalty and reiterating that he would reimburse him.

Revitalising consumer and social aspirations: the new force majeure in Leeds' ever-expanding retail sector.
Laing O'Rourke are responsible for the design and build (including demolition and redevelopment works) of one million square feet of retail space comprising 120 flexible units over three floors, an independent cinema and rooftop restaurants. The only major retail scheme currently being built in the UK, Trinity Leeds will provide a 'tapestry' of arcades to house flagship tenants, boutique concessions and leading brands in entertainment and cuisine.
Although largely new-build, the scheme includes the refurbishment and full integration of an existing 1970s concrete-framed shopping centre. We are working on two sections simultaneously: the eastern section comprises constructing two basement levels, three retail floors and the signature loose-fit lightweight-grid glass roof. The western section encompasses demolition works, structural alterations, facade replacement and a smaller feature roof. Both sections will be linked by a two-storey bridge over one of the city's busiest shopping thoroughfares. Internal finishes include stone flooring throughout the malls and central circulation areas, glass reinforced gypsum circular columns and an undulating ceiling. Externally, the mostly glazed facade, link bridge and landscaping will combine to create a modern streetscape.
We have introduced a Leeds-centric legacy by creating a blueprint to address the socio-economic needs of the community. We are providing apprenticeships and jobs, raising money for charity, and engaging with those suffering from debilitating conditions and/or social isolation. We have also allied with educational institutions to inspire the next generation and maximise career opportunities.

An analog format that still kicks ass for portable music! iPods never came close! Anyone who disagrees has never compared it themselves.
Wow, that cassette really does sound better than my iPod... and its about $300 cheaper!
by EnlightenedOne January 30, 2006
Something that is used to store music. Used to be real popular. Actually they sound better than cd because they don't start to distort at 15khz like 44.1khz a second cd's do! Cds also cut the high frequencies right off at 22.5khz while analog tape flexes instead of just cutting off. We can only hear up to about 19khz but we can feel the high frequencies like you can with bass. This is what gives it the feeling, character and experience. You need a good deck and tape though! Cds use the physcoacoustic technique which is when the sound is missing chunks because of the 16 bit rate and your brain fills in the missing info. Tapes don't do this! They are linear. The signal mixing with the tape creates complex harmonics and transients which sound even warmer. Ya, they have hiss, but only in quite areas and you can overcome that by recording "hot" and using a good dolby deck. I think the hiss actually adds more charcter and warmth, like a more airy feeling. Plus you can record tapes hot(past 0db) to get a louder and more powerfull signal, digital just clips and disorts right after 0db. Vinyl is even better. Go get a good vinyl record(like and origianl pink floyd) on a good turn table and compare it to a cd or mp3(compressed cd). A ton of music is still recorded on the best real to real mulitrackers and then mixed down to cds for the average consumer. At least use dvd audio at 96khz, that's much better than cd. Tapes are awesome!
"Can you record that for me on a blank cassette?"

Formerly the most popular way of copying audio. Was considered a hazard by the record industry in the 1980's who had a big advertising campaign that said "Home Taping Is Killing Music" Nobody listened and continued buying blank tape. Now replaced by the easier to use CD-R.

A word created in 2001 by a preacher on the radio. In a stroke of brilliance this man managed to use the wrong word while conveying his exact meaning.
The word the young man meant to use was "success".
Apparently, correct grammar is not a commandment.

The St Helens-based businessman, who is a former Palestinian refugee, has been locked in negotiations for a fortnight but will become the Super League club's new owner and chairman in time for Friday night's opening game against Wigan.
It is thought the final touches are being applied to legal documents and paperwork and Salford have called a media conference for Thursday lunchtime "relating to the ownership of the Super League club".
Koukash, who has pledged to transform the fortunes of the ailing City Reds, is also expected to buy a stake in the Salford City Stadium which the club share with Aviva Premiership club Sale Sharks.
The £26million stadium at Barton is jointly owned by Salford Council and developers Peel Holdings but Koukash believes the City Reds need a stake if they are to become financially viable.
The club are due back in court in Manchester on Monday to face a winding-up petition brought by HM Inland Revenue and former players Vinnie Anderson and Luke Patten over unpaid bills.

The Joys of Motherhood
by Buchi Emecheta
The Joys of Motherhood Chapter 7 Summary
The Duty of a Father
- It's now three months since the death of Ngozi, and Nnu Ego wishes desperately that she hadn't been saved from committing suicide. But at least her husband's people don't know how unhappy she is. More and more, she longs for a man like Amatokwu. He is truly a man, not like this current husband of hers.
- That morning, she had argued with Nnaife, telling him that if she'd had Ngozi in Ibuza, she never would have come to Lagos. Nnaife wants to know what it profits her to hurt him. Wasn't Ngozi his child as well?
- Now she hears a familiar voice calling her name. It's her friend Ato, Nwakusor's wife. She had thought Ato was in Ibuza, but here she is in Lagos, looking happy and healthy. Nnu Ego resents her immediately.
- But Ato tells her to stop looking so unhappy. Does she want her father to hear about all her sorrows and to be unhappy, too?
- Ato observes how unclean Nnu Ego's home is but says nothing. Instead, she asks her friend if it's true that she's stopped being sociable and instead became unhappy because she lost her child.
- Ato urges Nnu Ego to let Nnaife sleep with her again, to get her pregnant. She reminds Nnu Ego that even if he isn't a good lover, he may be loving, and might be able to give her babies.
- Nnu Ego admits that he is very loving and he's not bad as a lover, either. It's just that she didn't expect to marry a man like him.
- Ato says she didn't expect to marry a man who would be away at sea for a long time either. And they say that men like that have other women in other parts of the world.
- Nnu Ego claims that Ato's husband, Nwakusor, would never do anything like that.
- Ato says it doesn't matter.
- When Nnu Ego realizes that she's gossiping like all the women, she stops, pleased. Maybe she's recovering after all.
- Ato lets Nnu Ego know that her father is glad that Nnu Ego isn't barren, and that she should get pregnant again soon and come home to make sacrifices so that this next child will live. Ato urges Nnu Ego again to let Nnaife sleep with her.
- Nnu asks how her friend doesn't know that she isn't already sleeping with Nnaife.
- Ato says she lived on a compound with many wives. She knows the look of a neglected woman.
- Nnaife comes home and is excited to see Nnu Ego chatting with Ato happily.
- Nnu Ego begins to tell Nnaife all about the big chunk of bush meat that her father sent them. Nnaife sounds nostalgic as he asks about home, then reminds Nnu Ego not to send Ato home without feeding her.
- Months later, Nnu Ego is pregnant again. She dreams she sees a baby boy, three months old, abandoned by a stream. He is half covered with mud and mucus. She picks the child up and washes him in the stream, waiting for the mother, but the mother doesn't come. Then she sees the woman slave, her chi, on the other side of the stream, telling Nnu Ego, "Yes, take the dirty, chubby babies. You can have as many of those as you want. Take them" (7.49). Then she laughs and disappears into the forest.
- Nnu Ego wakes up and exclaims that it can't happen again.
- Nnaife is anxious, wondering what is the matter.
- Nnu Ego tells him that everything is OK, that she's just picked up another child beside the stream in her dream.
- Nnaife doesn't understand and questions her. Nnu Ego doesn't know how to explain that she knows she will have a baby boy. She imagines him as the perfection vision of manhood, tall and slender like a farmer.
- She prays to God that this child will stay with her and grow up to fulfill her future hopes and joys.
- But still she reflects on the dream. When she picked up Ngozi by the side of the stream, in her dream from her first pregnancy, he was clean. But this baby was dirty and neglected. What could it mean? She decides she doesn't care. Dirty children don't remain dirty when they've been washed. Her baby boy will grow up into a man she can respect.
- She writes to her father to let him know she's expecting another child. Agbadi replies that the oracle has said it will be a boy. He sends charms for Nnu Ego to wear as protection, and soap for bathing.
- Months later, as Nnu Ego looks at her son, she realizes that he looks like Nnaife. They are unable to afford a naming ceremony, like the one they gave Ngozi. Instead, friends and neighbors gather some kolanut and palm wine to celebrate the naming of the child.
- They name him Oshiaju, which means "the bush has refused this." A Yoruba friend gives him a Yoruba name – "Ibo ko yi," which means the same thing.
- Six weeks later, Nnu Ego feels more certain that Oshia will live. She has no money to help her husband, but they live in the white man's world, where men provide everything. She is just content to be a mother.
- Nnu Ego realizes that when she had Ngozi, she had tried to be an Ibuza woman in a modern urban setting by running a small trading business. This time, she will try to live life according to the new rules. Perhaps after Oshia was weaned, she could try to work again. But she wonders who she could leave her son with. There were no grandparents in Lagos to help her. So she tries to be happy with the little money Nnaife brings in.
