With a 'Central Perk' Opening, What Fictional NYC Spot Would You Like to Visit?
Fans of "Friends" will soon be able to chat with their own chums at the iconic Central Perk, the fictional hangout for the beloved show's characters.
In honor of the show's 20th anniversary, Warner Bros. and Eight O'Clock Coffee are creating a pop-up shop in Soho, offering free java starting Sept. 17.
While this may satisfy fans who still fondly remember Rachel walking into the shop dripping wet in a wedding gown or Phoebe crooning "Smelly Cat," we wondered: What fictional New York City spots would you most like to visit?
For fans of "Seinfeld," Tom's Diner is always available for lunch on the Upper West Side (though the interior won't look familiar), and the Original Soup Man has locations all over. "Sex and the City" aficionados can get their sugar fix at Magnolia Bakery. (And both shows have had reality bus tours, of course.)
And if you love "Law & Order" or "Night Court," well, the courts are waiting downtown.
But what about the fleet garage of Sunshine Cab Company from "Taxi"? The Jefferson's deluxe apartment in the sky? Archie Bunker's humble Queens abode? The stately brownstone from "the Cosby Show"? Or, more recently, the precinct stationhouse from "Brooklyn Nine-Nine"?
Tell us what fictional site you'd like to see come to life in the comments or tweet @WSJNY.

The Federal Aid in Wildlife Restoration Act of 1937, commonly known as the Pittman-Robertson (PR) Act established a "User Pay/User Benefit" philosophy for funding State wildlife restoration and conservation efforts directed towards America's wildlife resources. These funds have played a vital role in the management of Maine's wildlife since they were first used in 1939 to enhance the Department's wildlife management capabilities. Revenues are collected from excise taxes on firearms, ammunition, pistols, revolvers, bows and arrows and deposited in the Federal Aid in Wildlife Restoration Fund.
These funds support a wide array of projects in Maine which include: wildlife population assessments, long-range species management planning, development of management recommendations, implementation of management programs, acquisition and management of wildlife habitat, and hunter education.
Regulations in red are new this year.

Ryan Vogelsong was a long shot to be a Giant this season. Now he's looking like a potential National League All-Star.
"It's one of the best stories I've seen since I've been in the game," Giants manager Bruce Bochy said after the Giants' 2-1 victory over the Colorado Rockies on Sunday afternoon.
The story keeps getting better, and the appreciation from the stands keeps getting louder. Vogelsong received the ovation of his life as he walked off the mound after pitching eight spectacular innings.
In the bottom of the eighth, he received an even stronger outpouring from the standing, sellout crowd. Vogelsong put down a sacrifice bunt, which preceded Andres Torres' tiebreaking single as the Giants took two of three from Colorado and leapt back into first place in the N.L. West.
"The fans are great here. They know the game," Vogelsong said. "They know how important it is.
"This is the best thing you could ever experience. I wish everybody could experience what I'm going through right now. It's awesome."
It is awesome for any pitcher to allow just three earned runs over a six-start span, as Vogelsong has done while posting a 0.69 ERA. It's even better when you're a 33-year-old minor league free agent who hadn't pitched in the big leagues for four seasons before cracking the roster in mid-April.
It might seem obvious, but Bochy was ready to confirm it: Whenever Barry Zito is ready to return, Vogelsong will remain in the rotation.
"We're starting to talk about it," Bochy acknowledged. "There's a point we'll have to figure out what we'll have to do. It's obvious Vogey isn't going anywhere. He'll go every fifth day. We might have to get creative here."
Zito will begin his minor league rehab assignment for Single-A San Jose on Monday, when he is expected to throw 85 pitches. He can remain in the minors for a maximum of 30 days. The Giants will need a starter at the end of June, either to pitch during a June 28 doubleheader at Wrigley Field or in the ensuing days. A lot can happen in three weeks.
But Vogelsong (4-1) keeps sustaining his success. With all his pitches snapping across the plate, he held the Rockies to four hits in eight innings, issued just one walk and struck out seven -- including three whiffs of reigning N.L. batting champ Carlos Gonzalez, who looked overmatched each time.
Vogelsong has a 1.68 ERA in 10 games (eight starts) and has a 3-to-1 strikeout-to-walk ratio. The stats confirm what the eye beholds. Everything about his success looks to be sustainable.
"He wanted to be a Giant, and that was special to us," said Bochy, who will manage the N.L. All-Star squad and will make final appointments to the roster. "He's taking full advantage. He's pitching as well as anybody in the league, really."
And Vogelsong is appreciative.
"Any experience I had in the big leagues before this was as a long man, pitching when we were blowing a team out or getting blown out -- usually getting blown out," said Vogelsong, who pitched parts of five seasons with Pittsburgh. "So to be on a team like this and be counted on to win games, it's a great feeling."
The Giants are 6-2 in Vogelsong's starts, but they needed a couple of late rallies to make a winner of him after he allowed a home run to Chris Iannetta in the fifth.
Miguel Tejada broke up right-hander Jason Hammel's no-hit bid with his clean, two-out single in the sixth after Torres walked, and Freddy Sanchez followed with a tying single up the middle.
The Giants pushed ahead in the eighth. After pinch hitter Pat Burrell drew a leadoff walk, Bochy pulled back rookie Conor Gillaspie from the on-deck circle and had Vogelsong step to the plate.
"Vogey handles the bat as well as anybody, really," said Bochy, who didn't hesitate to let him face reliever Matt Lindstrom's upper-90s heat. "That's not an easy task against a guy throwing that hard. He kept his nose in there."
Vogelsong's bunt dribbled down the first-base line, advancing pinch runner Manny Burriss. Torres came close to swinging on a 2-2 pitch that bounced to the screen, moving Burriss to third, but he received another life. He took advantage by lining the next pitch into left-center field.
When told of Bochy's comments regarding his rotation spot, Vogelsong did not break into a dance. He knows a major league job is a precious thing. He won't celebrate at someone else's expense.
"Well, let's not talk about that," Vogelsong said.
The cheers say it all.

The 1971 volume of Current Psychiatric Therapies concerns itself with "comprehensive techniques that are both biologically oriented and socio-culturally directed toward the prevention or mitigation of behavior disorders from childhood through old age." It is against this statement of the editor, Jules H. Masserman, that this volume should be judged.
It is disappointing to report that in most respects the book fails to meet these criteria. Many chapters, particularly those that would be of special interest to the internist, are conceived poorly and written tritely. Nevertheless, the chapter on "Behavior Therapy," by Edward Dengrove, is a concise and useful presentation of the subject and one that will repay careful study.
Unfortunately, the following chapters on therapies do not meet Dengrove's standards. The chapter on "Telephone Therapy" could well have been omitted. The final chapter of this section, by Paul E. Huston, offers a useful and clear synopsis of this important

Scott Carroll had a 2-5 record and a 5.05 ERA when he took the mound for the White Sox Monday night at Fenway Park against the Red Sox.
In his previous two starts, he�d given up 7 runs on 10 hits in 6 innings against the Angels on July 1 and 5 runs on 7 hits in 5 innings against Toronto on June 26.� Not surprisingly, he was the losing pitcher in both games.
How did he do against the Red Sox?
Carroll gave up just one hit and no runs in six innings and got the win as the Pale Hose blanked the Carmine Hose, 4-0.
It was the sixth loss in seven games in this embarrassingly bad homestand for the last-place Red Sox.

Stealing a win on the road was a huge break for the Utah Jazz. Utah and Denver were a combined 66-16 at home this year, and went 40-42 on the road. Clearly, both of these teams are a lot more comfortable in their own buildings. Even without Kirilenko and Okur in the rotation, Utah has a lot of momentum going right now.
Corey Brewer: "James (Harden) is going to play defense this year"
James Harden's defense is not as bad as its reputation.
Well, at least it wasn't two seasons ago — his near MVP season he was in good enough shape that he could put in a respectable effort on that end and still handle his massive offensive load. There were still some mental lapses, but his focus was better and his improvement lifted the team defense. Last season, he regressed back to youtube "highlight" defense Harden — his conditioning was not where it needed to be, he didn't expend as much effort on that end, and it showed.
Harden got a massive contract extension this summer, and Dwight Howard is Atlanta's problem — now Harden has to lead the Rockets. By example. Corey Brewer told ESPN you're going to see that on defense.
"I think this year he's going to play better defense, We're going to let the past be in the past. It's the future of the Rockets, man. James is going to play defense this year."
We're all Missourians on this one: Show me.
Remember that the Rockets will be out and running — Mike D'Antoni is the coach now, and Daryl Morey is going to get the up tempo ball he wants (which Kevin McHale had them doing, but Harden didn't like him so…). D'Antoni's teams in Phoenix played better defense than their reputation — points per possession they were middle of the pack — but that has never been his focus.
Will Harden be able to run like he needs to on offense and still defend at a reasonable level?
If he can, it's a big step toward the Rockets being a dangerous team in the West because if he does it others will follow. Otherwise, every Rockets game will be a shootout, which is entertaining but not going to get a team deep into the playoffs.
Watch Drake hit a half court shot while doing a situp
I can see the questions on Twitter/in the comments already so let me save you some time.
Because it's summer.
Because it's Drake (he's a celebrity and an NBA hanger-on with some quasi-official position with the Raptors).
Because Stephen Curry did it, too.
Because what other hoops are you watching on a late August afternoon?
And besides, you clicked on it. You know you want to see it.
So here it is, Drake, hitting a halfcourt shot while doing a sit up. Enjoy.
Mario Chalmers says he's cleared to play
Mario Chalmers was thriving with the Grizzlies after a midseason trade from the Heat when a torn Achilles ended his season.
Not the way Chalmers wanted to enter free agency.
Still unsigned, he says he's progressing.
Can he go 100%, though? If not, when?
A few teams could use another point guard. If Chalmers shows his health, he belongs in someone's rotation. But that might require taking a low-paying deal and working his way up from the third point guard spot – or even just onto the regular-season roster.
Report: John Wall 'rankled' by James Harden's high-paying Rockets contract
Bradley Beal isn't the only player bothering John Wall.
James Harden – who's earning a lot of money from the Rockets and adidas – is drawing the ire of the Wizards point guard.
One league source familiar with Wall's state of mind simply put it this way: "Wall's got jealousy issues. He's always upset with someone who makes more money than him."
A front office executive tells The Ringer that Wall was "rankled" after Harden signed a four-year, $118 million extension with the Rockets.
O'Connor also pointed out this line from Nick DePaula of Yahoo Sports on Wall rejected adidas' offer:
"He wanted Harden money," a source told The Vertical.
I wonder how Wall feels about Beal's max contract, which pays much more than Wall's deal. Wall didn't like Reggie Jackson, another lesser player, earning the same amount as him.
The union rejecting cap smoothing in light of the new national TV contracts has certainly adversely affected Wall, who locked in long-term just before the salary cap explosion became known. As other players sign huge contracts, he's stuck on his old-money deal.
Washington could've renegotiated and extended Wall's contract, but it would have been more complicated than Harden's arrangement. Wall has three years remaining to what was previously two for Harden. How much extra money would the Wizards have paid Wall over the next three years just to get him committed for one more year? Instead, they signed Ian Mahinmi, Andrew Nicholson and Jason Smith.
I'm also unsure Wall would've accepted an extension. He doesn't seem overly happy in Washington, and a raise via renegotiation was coming only if Wall provided something in return – an additional year of team control added to his contract.
And don't lose track of this: Harden is better than Wall.
I don't mind Wall monitoring other players' contracts. That jealousy or whatever you want to call it has driven Wall to become a star NBA player. Whatever motivation works.
But demanding Harden's deal is unrealistic. The Wizards also ought to be mindful of how Beal's new contract affects chemistry, but that's their problem.
Wall's issue – as a player, not endorser – is primarily theoretical. He's tied to his current contract, and lesser players will earn more than him due simply to timing. He must find a way to make peace with that.

ABS Consulting Completes Design Review for New Approach to LNG Storage Tank Construction
2 December 2013
Houston, Texas - ABS Consulting recently completed design review services for an approval in principle of the design of Hyundai Heavy Industries' (HHI) Modular Liquid Natural Gas (LNG) Storage Tanks.
ABS Consulting reviewed the system design for HHI's Modular LNG Storage Tank and its construction with onsite assembly. During the design review process, ABS Consulting reviewed the design against applicable rules and standards. HHI's design methodology has been confirmed to be technically equivalent to standard onshore LNG storage tanks.
HHI is applying spin-off technology and concepts from LNG shipping to onshore storage for the construction and assembly of the Modular LNG Storage Tanks. With the demand for energy storage increasing, especially in remote and harsh environment areas, innovative approaches such as those of HHI create new possibilities for various industries.
These tanks will have most of their construction completed in the controlled environment of a shipyard with those sections then shipped to where they may be needed around the world. This approach allows for a minimal amount of construction effort and time at the final installation site.
Once the sections are onsite, HHI estimates that final assembly can be completed in about six months. In arctic areas where the construction season can be as short as three months, this can result in storage tanks being ready in as few as two building seasons.
"We are proud to help HHI with this new approach to LNG storage tank construction," said Tom Nolan, Vice President, Global Maritime Services at ABS Consulting. "This method may play a significant role in decreasing the time it takes to complete construction in arctic areas where extreme weather conditions limit the timeframe during which construction can take place."
HHI expects that the new modular LNG storage tank will reduce both the EPCC cost and the construction period. "It is to be one of the solutions to overcome excessive investment cost and can also enhance the compatibility of the ground LNG liquefaction plant in the developed markets such as Australia, Canada and the US," said Chun In-soo, COO of HHI's Industrial Plant & Engineering Division.

Ten Days of TrafficPosted Thursday, October 15, 2009, at 8:31 AM
Three years ago our children determined we move into "town" to be close to church, stores, and Kay's job. Our home is on North Forest Avenue (that's Hwy 59 to you interlopers). If ever it could be said the Lord gave the desires of one's heart, it would be this house.
It does appear that the Almighty either was not aware of, or humorously decided to include in His divine provision, the ten days of traffic which I like to call the bizarre bridge bazaar.
In this our fourth go-around here we've adjusted to the schedule: Noisy in the a.m. with cars moving so slow you could sell lemonade in the middle of State Road 59 North. In the late afternoon don't put a toe in the street when everyone is speeding home. The extent of my interest in the bridge bazaar is watching the cars and trailers, trucks, and motor homes go by. Fortunately we have a back way in and out, so are not trapped by the onslaught of vehicles.
Except for a couple of summertime tours of the various bridges of Parke county and envious, I have never paid much attention to the bridges. No particular opposition I don't suppose, just that as a matter of principle never do any thing involving a lot of walking. My active participation was again this year limited to being extra diligent in locking all doors and windows.
What has always struck me about it all is what little value the whole shebang seems to be for Brazil or Clay County.
The place up the street where we normally get gas does well, and we're told the local restaurants benefit some. That seems to be about it. When still new to the area I tried to organize a promotion of local business during October and was told by every merchant contacted it was a waste of time. Brazil, they said, simply cannot profit from the traffic rushing past on the way there and back home. Since then I have seen it for myself; even learned of two area small businesses that closed down for the ten days.
A lot of folks along Forest Avenue set up yard sales and such. Our daughter Susan came from St Louis with two car loads of stuff. Daughter, daughter-in-law and wife set out a bunch of junk no one in the family wanted. Daughters and grandchildren "made" about $5 each.
I doubt very much if the City of Brazil collected anything from all of this other than maybe part of the sales tax from the gas station. Even if the city charged for permits and got sales tax from the yard vendors (which I doubt very much they could), it wouldn't cover costs of police patrols and extra trash pickups (what, you thought all that unsold junk would be put back in my closet?).
Hope you had fun at that bridge bazaar thing. For me it is just ten days of traffic. If our town actually benefited from it all, let me know how.

The slim, 8Mp Casio Exilim EX-Z150 point-and-shoot camera aims for the teen-friendly sweet spot of slick looks and functionality.
For £149, this little camera comes in a variety of bright candy colours, in addition to black and silver. The Casio Exilim EX-Z150 also has an impressive 3in LCD on the back. Mostly metal, this camera feels sturdy, and its matte shine is quite attractive.
The Casio Exilim EX-Z150 has a design similar to that of other Exilim cameras, and allows for a steady grip in the hand. The video button is close to the top-right corner on the back, and the camera's various function buttons are arrayed below.
Few buttons have a dedicated function; you have to access most features through the menu. However, the playback, flash, delete, and video controls are easy to press without getting into menu malarkey.
The Casio Exilim EX-Z150's "Best Shot" button takes you to a series of presets, including auto, backlight, text, nighttime, portrait, landscape, kids, and macro. Face-detection and antishake options are also in the mix, and the EX-Z150's colour filters allow you to take black-and-white and colour-tinted shots.
The Casio Exilim EX-Z150's two more-unusual presets are a YouTube-video mode (a low-res setting optimized for the popular site) and an eBay mode, which saves smaller-size jpeg image files for online posting. The software also comes with a handy YouTube uploader that makes posting clips to the site easy.
For a sub-£200 camera, the Casio Exilim EX-Z150 produced decent-quality video, but with hissy audio. Our short flicks, shot outdoors, were generally vivid, and the camera was quite responsive in making exposure changes as we panned around. As is usually the case with lower-end digital cameras, videos shot indoors were a bit noisier, and some clips had a reddish tint.
The Casio Exilim EX-Z150 attained a high score in overall image quality during our test centre tests. Colour accuracy and exposure quality were this Exilim's strong suits, while it earned only middling marks for both sharpness and distortion levels (our test images were a little soft in subdued light).
Overall though, our jury testers rated the Casio Exilim EX-Z150's image quality as Very Good, edging out top-rated point-and-shoots such as the Canon PowerShot SD1100 IS and Pentax Optio A40.

The slim, 8Mp Casio Exilim EX-Z150 point-and-shoot camera aims for the teen-friendly sweet spot of slick looks and functionality.
In our tests, photos yielded good exposure much of the time. Our shots exhibited good colour and sharpness under outdoor lighting. The 28mm wide-angle lens was a definite plus; we enjoyed being able to take wider-than-usual wide-angle shots, although the image quality was somewhat lower when we zoomed in to 3X or 4X, the Casio Exilim EX-Z150's maximum optical zoom level.
The Casio Exilim EX-Z150 shone brightly in our battery tests: it fired off 302 shots on a single charge, bettering the vast majority of point-and-shoots we've tested and earning a Very Good rating for battery life.
Our chief complaint lies with the Casio Exilim EX-Z150's spotty focus and frequently slow performance.
The Casio Exilim EX-Z150 is slow to focus and suffers from a bit of shutter delay - often we found we were shooting before or after the lens had found the subject, causing blurred pictures. This was particularly frustrating in low-light settings when in auto mode.
And in our tests, the highest ISO the Casio Exilim EX-Z150 would automatically select was 400, simply not enough to grab a sharp shot in many scenarios other than landscape photography.
For shooting in the dark, the Casio Exilim EX-Z150 offers a high-sensitivity mode for extended ISOs up to 1600, but you must access it through the Best Shots menu. We'd rather not be slowed down hunting for high ISO levels while our subject - be it animal, human, or vegetable - decides whether to wait around during our fumbling.
High-contrast settings also proved a weak spot for the Casio Exilim EX-Z150. We took many test shots in a woodsy setting - admittedly a tough testing ground for many digital cameras, consisting of dark, earthy colours and sometimes bright skies. Areas along high-contrast edges showed wide halos and artifacting that made many of the images unusable. Then again, for a camera in this price range, expecting a dynamic range expander is a tall order.
The flash could sometimes be intense and overwhelming, producing a washed-out subject in some of our test shots. Unfortunately, you can't fine-tune the flash settings; it's either on, off, or in auto mode. However, the Casio Exilim EX-Z150 does offer contrast adjustment, as well as controls for white balance, flash intensity, saturation, and spot-metering modes. We took advantage of all of those control options, and all had a helpful (although not always completely successful) effect.

The Casio Exilim EX-Z150 is fun to shoot with. Its wide-angle lens and big screen were a joy, but the Casio Exilim EX-Z150's shutter lag and slow focus were handicaps that made us use a lot more brain power ("Will this be in focus?") than we'd prefer when taking simple, happy snaps. That said, for an inexpensive camera, the EX-Z150 holds its own and looks awesome doing it - not a bad choice for people not looking to spend a fortune.

Sewer rates rising in Tuxedo, Warwick
Tuxedo — More than 200 homes and businesses in Tuxedo and Warwick will see their sewer rates jump more than 50 percent starting next month. The hike, say town officials, results from a more than $1 million fix to United Water's sewer plant.
"When you spread $1 million over just 200 people, it's a lot," said Peter Dolan, supervisor of Tuxedo.
The increase comes on top of 71 percent rate hikes for Town of Tuxedo residents and 102 percent for Town of Warwick residents and businesses in 2009. The new rates that go into effect Aug. 1 will increase bills another $100 or so per year for three years. The two towns managed to talk United down by $30,000 of its proposed increase, Dolan said.
Warwick's Town Board approved the increase Thursday, while Tuxedo's Town Board signed off on Monday. The rate increase reflects costs from state-required repairs. Had the towns rejected it outright, United could have asked a state court to overturn their decision.
"It's one of those things as town supervisor I don't like to do, but unfortunately, we're between a rock and hard place," Dolan said.
Roger Friedman, a United customer in Tuxedo, projected his sewer bills would rise to $1,765 per year, up from $560 in 2008.
"The service provider just keeps upping the price in outrageous fashion," he said.
Town of Warwick Supervisor Michael Sweeton could not be reached for comment. Messages left for United were unreturned.

Today in Congress: In the Hot Seat Over Hot Air
The Senate Environment and Public Works Committee is holding a hearing as we write to drill deeper into the EPA's denial of California's request for more stringent tailpipe emissions standards. (We wrote about this here and here.)
Until the EPA's final decision document is completed, and its decision-making process is made fully public, today's spat is just the latest chapter in a giant he-said, she-said starring California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger and California Sen. Barbara Boxer in one corner, and Environmental Protection Agency boss Stephen Johnson in the other.
Still, there are some choice tidbits in the opening remarks and back-and-forth of letters (all of which can be found here and here):
Sen. Boxer:
"In my many years in the House and in the Senate, I have never seen such disregard and disrespect by an Agency head for Congress and for the Committee with responsibility for oversight of his Agency."
"The people who pay the Administrator's salary have a right to know how he came to a decision that is so far removed from the facts, the law, the science and the precedent. "
EPA's Stephen Johnson:
"The President has committed the United States to take the lead in reducing greenhouse gas emissions by pursuing new, quantifiable actions."
"In particular I would like to congratulate Congress in passing significant increases to the nation's fuel economy standards. These national standards recognize that climate change is a global problem and are part of the solution."
"My letter indicating how I plan to proceed with respect to the instant matter of the California waiver request is based on the exercise of my own judgment in this matter given the application of the law, the facts and information that were presented to me."
Natural Resources Defense Council policy director David Doniger:
"The focus of my testimony will be to outline just how far Administrator Stephen Johnson has departed from law, science, and even basic arithmetic in denying California a waiver".
"An EPA administrator who respected law and precedent, fact and science, would have granted California the waiver this time just as his predecessors did more than 50 times before over the last 40 years. But this administrator works for a White House with an unparalleled disregard for law and science."
Your tax dollars at work.

Boxer's Israeli visa bill stirs backlashMay 12, 2013 Updated: May 12, 2013 10:36pm
Photo: Gregg DeGuire, WireImage
The United States allows inhabitants of 37 countries to enter the United States without a visa, as long as they extend the same privilege to U.S. citizens. Sen. Barbara Boxer is proposing to add Israel to that list - but without requiring equal treatment for Americans traveling to Israel.

This is a design for a kimono textile that has skillfully incorporated the stylized woven fabric texture as part of the design as seen in the central field of flowering iris plants. The upper field appears to be a design of snowflakes, and the lower of an abstract water pattern. This was probably a leaf from an album of kimono designs. The print is of very good color, impression and condition on very thick paper, with some odd nicks and small tears on the edges, but not affecting the printed area.

Alex Ovechkin, Mike Green and Dean Evason Host Capitals Hockey School at Arlington?s Williamsburg Middle School, Wednesday, Jan. 16
Led by Evason, Ovechkin and Green instructed the students about puck-handling, passing and shooting, before hosting a mini-skills competition. The bleachers were filled with students cheering for Ovechkin, a 2008 All-Star selection, and Green, the NHL's leader in goals scored by a defenseman (13). Following the competition, students scrimmaged with the pair of players. The hour-long program concluded with the Capitals donating a set of floor hockey equipment to the school.
"I had fun," Ovechkin said. "We tried to teach a lot of things, and these kids were pretty good. I'm very happy that my team beat Greenie's team, too."
All students who participated in the session received autographs from Ovechkin and Green as well as foam pucks to designate them as graduates of Hockey School.
This season, Hockey School is targeted for middle schools in Arlington Public Schools (APS). With the success of the initiative, Hockey School is intended to expand into additional Washington, D.C., metropolitan area middle schools in seasons to come. Hockey School is designed to be both instructional and interactive, with the goal of exposing students to floor hockey and teaching proper technique.

text: Problem 3-45 Cost Behavior, High-Low Method, Pricing Decision Fonseca, Ruiz, and Dunn is a large, local accounting firm located in a southwestern city. Carlos Ruiz, one of the firm's founders, appreciates the success his firm has enjoyed and wants to give something back to his community. He believes that an inexpensive accounting services clinic could provide basic accounting services for small businesses located in the barrio. He wants to price the services at cost. Since the clinic is brand new, it has no experience to go on. Carlos decided to operate the clinic for two months before determining how much to charge per hour on an ongoing basis. As a temporary measure, the clinic adopted an hourly charge of $25, half the amount charged by Fonseca, Ruiz, and Dunn for professional services. The accounting services clinic opened on January 1. During January, the clinic had 120 hours of professional service. During February, the activity was 150 hours. Costs for these two levels of activity usage are as follows: 1.Classify each cost as fixed, variable, or mixed, using hours of professional service as the activity driver. Salaries: Senior accountant Office assistant Internet and software subscriptions Consulting by senior partner Depreciation (equipment) Supplies Administration Rent (offices) Utilities 2.Use the high-low method to separate the mixed costs into their fixed and variable components.

CHENNAI: Economic slowdown coupled with pressure on profitability has pushed India Inc's default rate to a 13-year high at 6.3% for the fiscal ended March 2012. The pain continued in April when it stood at 5.2%.
"Indian corporates defaulted on a total of 2,969 debt instruments in 2011-12 . This was the highest number of defaults in a year," economic thinktank CMIE said. The ratings-action ratio (RAR), measured as the relative frequency of upgrades to downgrades, witnessed a sharp fall in April 2012. It crashed to 0.2 from 0.5 in the preceding month. This was the lowest level of RAR since June 2009. This was also the eighth consecutive month of RAR remaining below
1. The RAR slipped below 1 in September 2011 and has remained below the critical level since.

The Karate Kid 2 moving ahead, new director found
Jaden Smith and Jackie Chan are to reunite for The Karate Kid 2, with The Crazies' Breck Eisner directing.
Despised in the run-up to its release, director Harald Zwart's reboot of The Karate Kid series actually turned out to be pretty decent (if pretty long). It was also hugely successful, bringing home over $340m at the worldwide box office. Very soon after, Sony Pictures revealed that it was looking for a sequel, and then... nothing.
Until now anyway. Notwithstanding the fact that the last film came out in 2010, the studio has finally got things in place for The Karate Kid 2, and has hired a director to make it. The director in question? Breck Eisner, currently best known for his surprisingly good remake of The Crazies.
In front of the camera, both Jaden Smith and Jackie Chan are set to return. No other details are known at this time, though.

Release Date: 1999 |
i used to worship this band, but vengeance killed my interest though i still pop in To The Pain from time to time.
i never considered looking for this, but you wrote a pretty convincing review. nonpoint being more bass-driven sounds like a winner
Album Rating: 3.0yeah but one thing you have to consider is that some of the songs have quite slow points where, like I discribed, the bass just kind of flows but then explodes during the chorus.
You should check it out, it`s quite interesting and different from their other albums.This Message Edited On 01.10.09
Album Rating: 3.0Oh come on how can this be so underrated? This is really a very interesting album. People should really hear it.
Album Rating: 3.0bumping my rating of this to a 3.5 because the originals are just so vicious and raw compared to any other stuff this band has done. this is their weakest record excluding Vengeance but the rawness of this makes up for it. It's a pleasure to hear.
Actually Separate Yourself was their debut.
Album Rating: 3.0Hey, my old review right here! And you're very right, Separate Yourself was indeed their real debut, this was their major label debut (seeing as this IS Separate Yourself, albeit with a different name and label backing). I'll go clear that up right now and while I'm at it, I'll fix this review up a bit in general.
EDIT: and after I spent about an hour, maybe even more, on fixing this thing up to my usual standards, the site decided to crash on me -.-
At the moment I'm still too pissed to start again from scratch, so I'm going to push the re-edtiting of this review aside for the time being.
I feel kind of stupid now. I didn't know they just re-released it under a different name. Maybe I should read a review before leaving a comment lol.

WALNUT CREEK -- The first-ever Save Mount Diablo scholastic photography contest is calling all kids in Alameda and Contra Costa counties, grades K-12, to get out, shoot some wildlife and brag about it.
There's more at stake than that -- there's that $1,000 grand prize Apple gift card, too.
Young photographers reaching for their Canons, Nikons or cell phones might also take a cue from one of the competition's three judges.
"The deadline is April 30 (Tuesday), and right now, this is the best time to be out there," says Scott Hein, SMD Board President and part-time nature photographer. "It's prime wildlife flower time, migrant birds are returning -- there's lots of springtime activity now."
Joining Hein to judge the entries will be plein-air painter John Finger and wildlife photographer Hank Perry.
It was Perry's thought -- to share with kids the joyful feeling of recognition he experienced after winning an international contest for Nature's Best Photography -- that sparked the contest. Communication Manager Beryl Anderson jumped on the proposal and through the robust grassroots musculature developed during 42 years defending the area's natural lands, the idea became a reality.
Eligible entries must be taken within the park boundaries of Mt. Diablo State Park or within one of the 11 East Bay Regional district parks listed on the contest website (see breakout). A written "story behind the shot" is required, but Hein reassures entrants their digital images will be judged based on the relevance and composition of the photo.
"It's not a writing contest. Kids have different perspectives and we think there'll be images that are compelling," he says. "Getting people out into the beauty of our parks is one of the most important things we do."
And educating adults and youth alike, is the mission behind the expected, but not out-of-control mayhem of an inaugural photo contest. Hein can't list all the businesses contributing to the effort, but he doesn't lose sight of the purpose behind their efforts.
"When people look at Mt. Diablo, they presume the entire mountain is protected and preserved. That's not true, there are significant parts that are still private ranching land. People need to know they could be subdivided and developed," Hein worries.
The organization's supporters aren't necessarily opposed to home ownership, he suggests. Their dedication is to maintaining a viable place for wildlife to live and preserving precious natural resources as the area's population increases.
Included in the five categories for entry is "Outdoor adventure and enjoyment," with rule-sets about photo releases based on Perry's national-level photo contest expertise. The intention is clear: they want people to play in the parks, as much as capture them in their viewfinders.
"The number one thing is that the more you are on the trails, the more you will find," Hein says, eagerly offering more tips for budding landscape photographers. "There's that magic hour at the start and the end of the day -- and dramatic clouds are better than a pure blue sky ... and harsh light introduces shadows that can detract from a wildflower ... "
At press time, the five "category" and 15 "highly honored" prizes were yet to be determined. Plans for a selected "Photography Gallery" included exhibitions at sponsoring businesses and inclusion in a Diablo Magazine publication.
As previously stated, all entires must be submitted by April 30; finalists will be notified via email on May 16, with winners of all categories announced the week of June 3.

The rush for biofuels could harm the world's poorest people, Oxfam has said.
In a new report, the UK aid charity appears to be joining a growing chorus of concern about the side-effects of Europe's drive to get fuel from plants.
The European Union wants to cut the CO2 emissions from burning fossil fuels and has demanded that 10% of all transport fuels should come from plants by 2020.
But Oxfam warns poor farmers risk being forced off their land as industrial farmers cash in on the biofuel bonanza.
'Biofuel pie'
Its report says to meet the rise in demand, the EU will have to import biofuels made from crops like sugar cane and palm oil from developing countries.
The rush by big companies and governments in Indonesia, Colombia, Brazil, Tanzania and Malaysia to win a slice of the "EU biofuel pie" threatens to force poor people from their land, it adds.
This could destroy their livelihoods, lead to the exploitation of workers and hit food availability and prices, says the report.
It is now demanding the EU reviews its biofuel policy and wants safeguards put in place to protect the poor.
The European Commission says it is working to make sure its biofuel policy does not backfire.
The BBC's environment analyst Roger Harrabin said there were also fears over the environmental cost of making fuel from crops like maize.
Scientists have said it takes so much energy to produce some biofuels that it would be cleaner overall to burn petrol in our cars, he said.
To make it worse, he added, valuable rainforest is still being cleared to make way for fuel crops like palm oil.
Robert Bailey, a policy advisor at Oxfam, said: "In the scramble to supply the EU and the rest of the world with biofuels, poor people are getting trampled.
"The EU proposals will exacerbate the problem. It is unacceptable that poor people in developing countries should bear the cost of questionable attempts to cut emissions in Europe.
"Biofuels are not a panacea - even if the EU is able to reach the 10% target sustainably, and Oxfam doubts that it can, it will only shave a few per cent of emissions off a continually growing total," he said.

The current issue of National Geographic has a a good article on bio fuels. There are better sources than corn like sugar cane, saw grass and even algae. Sounds very promising. I say make oil obsolete and let OPEC turn back into sand parking lots.

Ripnem: "Bio-fuel scares the shit out of me. It is already taking a huge toll on habitat and the price of other farm goods. Everyone should take 3 giant steps backward and look at this issue before jumping in with both feet, like many have."100% agreement.
Food prices are skyrocketing, due in part to this rush to biofuel.

Dog on the menu for Chinese astronauts
China's first man in space has said that Chinese astronauts eat dog meat to keep their strength up as they orbit around the earth.
Yang Liwei, the 44-year-old military pilot who commanded the Shenzhou Five mission in 2003, revealed the menu on-board the spacecraft in his autobiography, The Nine Levels between Heaven and Earth.
"Many of my friends are curious about what we eat [in space] and think that the astronauts must have some expensive delicacies, like shark's fin or abalone," he wrote. "Actually we ate quite normal food, there is no need to keep it a secret," he added.

Astronauts fire thrusters to avoid collision with space junkHe listed a menu including braised chicken, steamed fish and dog meat from Huajiang county in Guangdong, which is famed for its nutritional benefits in China.
A local proverb in the south of China is that "Huajiang dog is better for you than ginseng", referring to the medicinal root that plays a vital role in traditional Chinese medicine.
He added that the diet had been specially drawn up for the astronauts by Chinese nutritionists and that the food had been purchased from special suppliers in Beijing. Dog is widely eaten in northern China, where it is believed to help battle the winter cold. The menu was still in use last year, when Chinese astronauts conducted their first ever spacewalk. China has plans to land a man on the moon by 2020.
The revelation drew an angry rebuke from animal rights campaigners, who said Mr Yang was setting a bad example to his millions of fans.
"Yang Liwei is a role model for so many young people and he is one of China's greatest heroes," said Jill Robinson, the founder of Animals Asia. "We hope that he might recognise dogs as the heroes they are too: they found survivors after the Sichuan earthquake and protected people from potential terrorists during the Olympic games. Surely they deserve more."
American astronauts also eat a varied menu of food, including beef enchiladas, lasagne, and sweet-and-sour pork on their space missions.
NASA has said space food must be easy to prepare and eat, and usually has lower fat, fewer calories and less salt.
Mr Yang also revealed that the pressure from take-off during the Shenzhou Five mission was so great that he thought he would die. "All of my internal organs seemed to have been crushed. I could hardly bear it and thought this could be the end for me," he wrote.
On his re-entry to earth, he also noticed a crack in the window of the module. "It would be a lie to say I was not terrified. It was 1,600C to 1,800C in temperature outside". Later, he discovered the crack had been a line in the heat-resistant coating.
A selection of dishes from the Chinese Astronaut menu (2009 mission)
Day One: Lotus root porridge, crispy tofu with spring onions, braised yellow croaker fish, pork ribs with seaweed, spinach with minced garlic.
Day Two: Spicy pig skin, braised duck neck, hairy crab with ginger, chicken liver with chilli, pine nuts with sweetcorn, three-flavour soup.
Day Three: Poached egg in fermented rice soup, Harbin sausage, Huajiang dog, baby cuttlefish casserole, eel with green pepper, spicy beans with dried tofu.
Apples, pears and oranges served with every meal, as well as rice, noodles, sweet potatoes.

In response to the severe market disruption to the economy two years ago, the Federal Reserve created multiple liquidity programs aimed at stabilizing the financial system. Since then, market conditions have improved and the Fed is now tasked with implementing a strategy to normalize monetary policy that accommodates a stable economic recovery. The purpose of this strategy is to prevent a flare-up in inflation and to neutralize any potential undesired financial imbalances created by the "extended" accommodative policy.The Fed has already taken a few steps to adjust its monetary activities. In February, the Fed raised the discount rate by 0.25 percent to 0.75 percent. In addition, several of its liquidity programs have expired or been phased out. These include ending the purchase programs for $1.25 trillion in agency mortgage-back securities, $175 billion in agency debt and the term lending facilities, which allowed short-term borrowing for depository institutions from the Fed.In addition to targeting its overnight benchmark rate, the Fed has outlined several other tools as part of the exit strategy to reduce excess liquidity.Download the article (PDF)

In West Dallas, an early-morning carjacking ends shortly after suspects drive into the side of a dentist's office
Two suspects, ages 16 and 20, are in Dallas police custody after an alleged early-morning carjacking in West Dallas.
Close to 1:30 Tuesday morning, near the intersection of Singleton Boulevard and Bernal Drive, a man stopped a Dallas police officer. He told the officer he'd been beaten — with fists and a bottle — by two men who took his car.
The officer didn't have to go far to find the suspects: They passed him on Singleton, heading east. The officer got into his car and called for backup. The suspects sped off, and, for a moment, the officer didn't see where they'd gone.
Then he found the car — in the side of a dentist's office in the 2800 block of Singleton, where it landed after the suspects hit a utility pole. By that time the suspects were on foot, heading toward a public-housing complex. Two blocks later, the officer caught up with the pair, who were arrested and taken to jail. Police have not yet released their names.
The victim was checked by Dallas-Fire Rescue paramedics at the scene, and declined further medical attention.

Minmetals' Michelmore Won't Just Pay Any Price
Having Chinese state-backing doesn't necessarily mean unlimited pockets, as Minmetals Resources Ltd. can attest to.
The miner's Hong Kong-listed unit finally got a foothold in Africa when it bought a copper mine in Congo in February, after it abandoned attempts to buy Canada's Equinox Minerals Ltd.'s Zambian copper assets. Minmetals walked away from that deal, and Barrick Gold Corp. swooped in with a bid that was 16% higher than Minmetals' at 7.3 billion Canadian dollars (US$7.4 billion). As a state-backed firm, Minmetals was widely expected to pony up for the deal.
But Minmetals' chief executive Andrew Michelmore would like to put to rest any myths that just because a company has the Chinese state's backing, the price doesn't matter.
"We were very disappointed we lost Equinox, but we'd be shooting ourselves in the foot now if we had paid that much," said Mr. Michelmore in an interview with the WSJ. Whereas once pulling out of a bidding war would have been seen as a "loss of face," Mr. Michelmore said there is recognition among some Chinese firms that taking the high road could be destructive for shareholder value.
Mr. Michelmore became the head of Minmetals when it bought an unlisted Australian miner, Minerals & Metals Group, from its parent China Minmetals Non-Ferrous Metals Co. in October 2010. Mr. Michelmore, who was head of MMG at the time, became the new head of the Chinese company and its new international face.
Mr. Michelmore said that while Chinese state-owned enterprises realize that they simply do not have the international expertise to run their overseas operations, having the state as a backer is still incredibly useful as they are the ultimate guarantor of the company's debt, and they have access to information about the Chinese economy.
In addition, Mr. Michelmore said some governments prefer to deal directly with their counterparts. For example, in Laos, where Minmetals has copper assets, he said the Laotian government was "very pleased to have an SOE [State-Owned Enterprise] as a shareholder" that they can negotiate with.
As a shareholder, the Chinese government is also more focused on long-term returns rather than immediate gains. "Everyone thinks aluminum is a dog at the moment," but he firmly believes in the long-term potential of the metal especially as China powers ahead with its ambitious social housing construction program.
Mr. Michelmore also defended his company's long-term growth prospects even as the big Australian miners such as Rio Tinto Plc and BHP Billiton Plc have seen their share prices hit in recent weeks amid fears that a slowing Chinese economy would hit their core iron ore businesses.
While the mega-miners have poured money into iron ore, Mr. Michelmore argues for the potential of the base metals that are core to the company's business, zinc and copper. He said margins in copper are still high, while at the same time some of the largest mines in the world are facing hiccups in output. For example, Freeport-McMoRan Copper & Gold Inc. has seen labor stoppages at its Indonesia mines, which hit its earnings. On zinc, Mr. Michelmore said there remains a glut of the metal right now, but supply is getting tighter while few companies have explored for new mines for some time.

Get rid of your featherbed or waterbed and replace it with a firm mattress that offers plenty of back support. Avoid sleeping on your stomach or back, which can cause back pain. Lying on your side instead takes about 55 pounds of pressure off your back. Prop up your knees with a couple of pillows to reduce the pressure even more.
- Strengthen Your Support System
Keep your back strong and limber by exercising it at least two or three times a week. Walk, swim, and do other low-impact exercises. Add some abdominal exercises and weight lifting to strengthen the muscles that support your back. Take 10 to 15 minutes to warm up before each exercise to prevent back injuries. Also try yoga or tai chi to stretch your muscles and improve your balance so you're less likely to injure yourself and cause back pain. If you suffer from back pain, talk to your doctor before you start exercising, since some exercises may not be recommended and can be harmful.
These easy exercises can help strengthen the muscles of your back:
Lie on your back with your knees bent. Slowly lift each knee to your chest and hold for 5 seconds. Repeat 10 times on each leg.
Lie on your back with both knees bent and your feet flat on the floor. Squeeze your buttocks and slowly raise your hips into the air. Hold for 5 seconds, and then slowly lower your buttocks back to the floor.
If you feel any back pain while exercising, stop what you're doing. See your doctor to talk about back pain treatments that will help you feel and function better.
- Lose Weight
If you're several pounds heavier than your doctor recommends for your height, losing weight is an important part of pain prevention. Combine exercise with a healthy diet to get down to a lighter frame that will be easier for your back to support.
- Bone Up
While you're changing the way you eat to lose weight, add in nutrients that build bones and prevent fractures. Make sure you're getting enough calcium, vitamin D, and phosphorous from a supplement and foods like skim milk, low-fat cheese, and lean chicken.
- Ditch the Stilettos

Gravitational Waves
Thanks to the advent of a second generation of instruments, we are at the dawn of the first direct detection of gravitational waves (GW). GW are expected to be emmitted in violent astrophysical events, possibly in connection with other types of emission, observable in the electromagnetic or neutrino spectra, such as, e.g., GRBs. This motivates correlating future GW observations with those of conventional astronomy. Developing such an multi-messenger astrophysics is a timely effort that can be achieved by bringing together the communities involved in both the observational and theoretical aspects.
This school aims at bringing together experts from a wide range of disciplines, including specialists in GW sources and their modelling, high-energy physicists, phenomenologists or observers. The goal is to foster the exchange of expertise between the audience and the speakers representing their own scientific communities, and to contribute to training a new generation of young researchers in these fields.

Lindsay Lohan pled no contest in court to a misdemeanor theft charge and the judge laid out the court's expectations for her, clear as day. The judge advised her of his recommendations, a "shoplifting alternative" program ( hmm… I really don't what could be the alternative… like paying for it?), and psychiatric counseling. I think his recommendations could do her a bit of good. Oh, but he was not done yet. Lindsay got three years probation and a 120 day jail sentence, but she could do that time at home with one of her favorite accessories, an ankle bracelet, but during her sentence she cannot leave to do her community service.
Do I think the sentence was fair? Hmm… sorta… I guess. She didn't get away completely scott free, but remember the charge was bumped from a felony to a misdemeanor so this helped her out a lot. I must say, it seems to me Lindsay may be trying to turn things around for herself and she should. I just hope this will be the last time she makes a court room appearance in real life.
I would like to see her play a character in court. She may be able to do just that very soon with the new Gotti flick. I hope she can get some help if she really has a mental illness and I have little doubt that she doesn't. Which one? My bet would be that she's Bi-polar with some sort of eating disorder. Let's just hope that Lindsay can keep it together for her own sake and try to keep her two meddling parents — who are definitely not good for her chi — out of her life. Sometimes it really depends who you surround yourself with. My advice to Lindsay would be get her head on right, and to surround herself with people who will care about her and do not want to see her down that road again.
