A successful counter attack in the second half gave ETSU (9-6-2, 5-2-0 A-Sun) a 1-0 win over the Stetson men's soccer team (3-8-2, 2-4-1 A-Sun) on Senior Day at the Athletics Training Center.
An emotional afternoon for seniors Jonathan Mendoza, Luis Ocejo, Kai Eckenrode, Joakim Helland, and Caleb Matthews, the Hatters came out with energy and dominated possession against the Buccaneers throughout the contest.
As has been an issue for Stetson all season long, the team just couldn't put one in the back of the net on Sunday. With 14:30 remaining in the first half a corner kick taken by Eckenrode found the head of junior JJ Bostic at the far post, but the defender's header attempt was saved by Buccaneer goalkeeper Ryan Coulter.
Neither squad was able to get any other clean looks at goal during the first 45 minutes, but the Hatters definitely had the advantage. Stetson outshot ETSU 6-2 in the first frame, and recorded five corner kicks to the Bucs' one.
After the break, ETSU had its first real opportunity to score just over a minute into play. Simon Schroettle took a free kick from outside the left side of the box, and as it deflected off of a Stetson defender and headed towards net, goalkeeper Andreas Schnabl was forced to make a difficult diving save to keep the game scoreless.
It wasn't until the 74th minute of action that the Bucs took their 1-0 lead that remained for the rest of the contest. After an ETSU foul gave Stetson a free kick just outside the top of the box, an early play of ball by the Hatters proved costly. The Bucs quickly gained possession and started a counter attack.
The first attempt on the break by David Geno hit off the post and rebounded out to Luis Calzadilla in the right side of the box. His shot was saved by Schnabl, but unfortunately for Stetson, rebounded out to around the six yard line where Alesi Osorio finished home.
Stetson fought to tie the game for the final 16 minutes, and the best opportunity came when Mendoza played a long ball down the left side to a streaking Eckenrode. The forward carried to the end line and crossed a ball toward the far post where Raffaele Centofanti got his foot on it, but sent his shot just wide of the net.
The Buccaneers escaped with the 1-0 victory, improving to 5-2-0 in Atlantic Sun Conference playing and clinch a spot in the league tournament. Stetson, with a 2-4-1 league mark and seven points, remains tied with Lipscomb for the fifth spot in the championships.
The Hatters will conclude A-Sun play on the road at Florida Gulf Coast on Wednesday. A win against the Eagles would put the Hatters into the A-Sun tournament, but depending on other outcomes in the final week of the season, SU still has a number of ways to claim a spot in the playoffs.

The Microsoft acquisition deal fell through, so now that Skype is no longer a Microsoft property, they can't promote Skype in their videos.
Yeah? No? Hmm, how about this:
They couldn't get rid of the echo with Skype, so they had to use Windows Live Messenger video chat instead. (Or Video Kinect, perhaps?)
Nah. How about this:
Microsoft has purchased Apple. They're using FaceTime now.
You guys gotta fix the end of the show where Paul is throwing air at the camera. Send him some of the channel9 little toy dudes.
Microsoft Junkie says put the Skype logo back.
Whoa, all that Windows Azure stuff goes over my head because I am into the consumer products of Microsoft. Glad there are folks like Paul that can break it down for the enterprise crowd.
Paul gives MaryJo Foley a run for her money
Actually I was thinking that Paul was really using an Alpha version of the Office 365 video chat. (Formerly known as Skype.) But hey, Microsoft buying Apple is more plausible.
OR how about this...
He was actually using the new Nokia 920 Windows 8 Phone and the image stabilization feature is so good that his girlfriend was actually holding it, instead of using a tripod. Though I'm not sure if you can use a wired headset with a phone... Just glad you picked a non-moving, anti-reflective, background to shoot with.

You don't become Superman overnight.
"It's a very, very long and involved process," Henry Cavill told PEOPLE at Monday's Man of Steel premiere in New York – the movie opened nationwide Friday – about his exhausting physical transformation from human to superhuman.
It went in stages. And all of them were painful.
"Five months before shooting there was varying stuff which ended up being mass building and then leaning down," said the actor, 30. "Throughout the shoot it was just waking up and making sure I got an hour in [of exercise] before I went to work."
He was then forced to go through "a horrible eating phase … where we really, really leaned down. It was exhausting."
"They didn't force me to give anything up," he said. "They just cut my calories right down to 2,500 [a day]. And keep in mind, only a few months ago I'd been up to 5,000. So it was a big drop."
He added: "It was hard but it paid off."
So, what was the first thing he ate after the brutal process was finally over? "I had an apple pie," he said, "a tub of ice cream and a full pizza."

Fun with EncausticNovember 30th, 2010
I've been having such a nice time with encaustics. What got me started on a kick to try this was this video. It totally jazzed out my frugal streak and I went for it. It was a little splurge to get the starter kit from dickblick. The real studio set up kit is an astoundingly spendy six hundred bucks but the little kit would give me enough materials to see if I liked it. It consisted of six colors, a bag of medium, some soy wax for cleaning brushes, two brushes, two tins and three encaustiboards. While I was waiting for it to arrive I scored an embossing tool and an electric fry pan at the Salvation Army (I'm in for seven bucks now.) I went to the hospice shop in Bratt and got a mess of metal measuring cups and a muffin tin for another dollar. The one thing I really wanted that I couldn't find was an iron without steam holes. This is a google impossibility. The ones designed for encaustic are like sixty so I went scouring the web for a cheaper one. In the end and after two full hours combing through pages of steam irons I found one for 13. Score!
So I am off to make 100 pieces to start with. Above are the first two I consider finished. I have about 20 that are in process. Here are some things I tried and some lessons I learned.
Use one or two of the muffin tin spaces for a changing color made from sticking all the wax that you scrape off or spill. This both saves money and makes a beautiful mystery blackish color.
Do not put the wood piece on the hot plate to try to get the wax warm for too long. It will melt the wax off the wood and on to the palette.
Dip and soak paper collage elements in the medium to make them semi transparent or to have them show a little of what is on the other side.
Do not leave the oil paint palette where you can lean on it ruining the nice thrift store fleece you got in lake placid.
i n t a r s i a
over fusing on writing – wax melts and moves the ink around to smudgeville.
oil paint beneath – way different dry time. I am impatient and red dries the slowest.
Making encaustic colors with oil paint. Tried to soak the oil out on a paper towel first but see above I am impatient. There isn't much pigment in the ones I made but they are cool. I'll probably try this again with more paint and move this to score.
Making encaustic colors with dry pigment (yes I am wearing a mask, ventilating the studio and being careful) Double score getting antique pigments on ebay for 12 bucks.
Fail so far
trying to do little intarsia points. In my mind they are really cool so I will keep trying. I think I need a tiny metal straw to cut out holes. Maybe a piercing needle (those fancy hollow ones for eyebrows?)
All this has also had the side effect of forcing me into oil paint. Acrylic, which I have been using for a long time, and wax don't play well together. People talked up the oils to me but I said they were too expensive, smelly, blah de dee blah blah. I also remember taking an "anyone-can-do-art" class at some stupid chain outlet where they had you paint landscapes using their special techniques. Some idiot teacher saw that I was doing the bird "wrong" and scrapped it off with a palette knife. Bitch. I was making the gull with more detail than flying wide M's across the sky and she swiped it off my canvas before I could say hey don't I like that. She really pissed me off. I think in the end I blamed the oil paint for the bad experience. I'm over it now.
I made this Sunday night. The figure is from a black and white photo that was in my collage materials. Before this I did a blue green version of the inner ear just to get the feel for my new liner brush.
The paint moves in a way that I think I will love when I get used to it. The brush drops off paint as it picks up what was there before. I find myself dropping color unexpectedly by not wiping the brush off enough.
I am waiting about a week before I work on this again – see what it is like with the paint more dry.
The figure was really fun. I was jumping the gun for figure drawing which was last night. Here is the last pose (12 minutes.) I think it will be the base for another oil. I love that little thing that comes from drawing from a model vs a photo. Can you see it here? Even though there are things not so perfectly life like it has way more of that something.

Prince William may not let his six-months-pregnant wife, Kate, win at ping-pong – "Ahem, I think that was 6-2," he teased after beating her in an impromptu match at a Scotland youth center April 4 – but he is getting ready to make bigger concessions to his family-in-the-making.
A source close to William tells PEOPLE the prince will soon announce he's leaving the RAF Valley – a search-and-rescue helicopter unit based in Anglesey, Wales.
His work there kept him away from Kate, and the cozy farmhouse they shared with dog Lupo, for as many as 10 24-hour shifts each month.
William has said he loves his work with the RAF, but he loves his wife and baby-to-be even more.
"He's ready for the next step," says the source. The couple's baby joy has brought them even closer, say those who know them. "They've always been close but it's been much more pronounced since she has become pregnant," says royals author Judy Wade.

Quadruple Helices Appear To Have Role...
Expanding Use of NGS Has Largely...
As Immunotherapy Revolutionizes the Cancer Treatment...
Wall Street Decline Takes Its Toll...
The challenges of protein expression, purification, and production have been identified and are being addressed in both heterologous and homologous systems.
The ultimate goal of the research effort dictates what approach can be brought to bear, whether that goal be proper crystallization for resolution of protein structure or production of therapeutic proteins for use in the clinic.
Understanding the full range of complexities for protein expression and production can only come by the exchange of ideas among colleagues and collaborators. This was the focus of the CHI's "Bioprocessing Summit" last month.
Well-characterized protein expression systems include cell-free extracts, E. coli, S. cerevisiae, baculovirus-insect cell systems, CHO cells, and HEK293 cells. Interestingly, there is usually no universal choice of the best system to use to produce any particular protein. This typically needs to be determined empirically for each specific protein of interest.
The lab of Don Jarvis, Ph.D., professor of molecular biology at the University of Wyoming, is focused on optimizing the baculovirus-insect cell system for recombinant glycoprotein production. Protein glycosylation, which is important because it influences protein structure and function, involves three distinct steps: first, the transfer of the initial oligosaccharide precursor; second, trimming of some terminal sugars; and third, addition of different sugars to form the final oligosaccharide side-chain.
Glycosylation patterns are cell type dependent and insect and mammalian pathways are distinctly different. The Jarvis lab has been focused on identifying genes encoding the endogenous insect cell enzymes and then adding human genes to enable insect cells to synthesize human-type glycan structures.
"It turns out that insect cells are highly amenable to uptake and incorporation of DNA," Dr. Jarvis indicated. "We have been able to co-transform Sf9 insect cells with up to seven unlinked markers plus a selectable marker. After selection, we can find clones that express all seven markers at surprisingly high frequency. Screening is particularly easy as the glycan-processing pathway is linear. Thus, we can verify the presence of terminal sialic acids in a simple and fast lectin binding assay, which confirms that all seven genes have been expressed."
"We have found that a minimum of six genes are needed to humanize the insect cell glycosylation pathway. We are now focused on finding innovative ways to increase the efficiency of this biosynthetic process."
At the University of Delaware Biotechnology Institute, Carissa Young, Ph.D., and her colleagues are asking the question, what's preventing us from expressing our heterologous protein at high functional yields in yeast cells? The lab has taken a systematic approach to understand why proteins fail to make it to their final destinations, either the plasma membrane or secreted into the media.
To investigate protein-trafficking effects, the lab has designed expression cassettes that incorporate conventional affinity tags and fluorescent proteins used for the identification and purification of the heterologous proteins. This enables the development of rationally designed chimeras that can also be used to identify subcellular localization in numerous organelles including the ER, Golgi, and plasma membrane.
"We have taken a holistic approach to determine which elements of protein structure impact trafficking of heterologous proteins in yeast. Specifically, exit motifs play a pivotal role in ER-to-Golgi trafficking within the secretory pathway, and very few studies have assessed these effects," shared Dr. Young.
"Using chimeric receptors, we confirmed at both the gene and protein levels the results of trafficking motifs and domain-swapping, while correlating these effects to growth rate, expression levels, and activity. Different from an ER-signal sequence located at the N-terminus, ER exit and retrieval motifs consist of a 3- to 4-amino acid sequence, generally clustered in groups of two or three at the C-terminus of the protein. Interestingly, most affinity tags used in protein work contain several trafficking motifs that can be exploited for heterologous protein expression."
The lab is working with GPCR membrane proteins, members of the adenosine and neurokinin receptor families, as well as antibody fragments. Copy number, time of expression, and the induction and culture conditions can all impact the level of expression for the membrane protein or the secreted protein. Consequently, genes that encode these heterologous protein sequences are inserted directly into the yeast genome with a controlled copy number.
Time-course experiments evaluate samples, cells, and media in order to quantify the total level of protein expression and the degree to which antibody fragments are secreted. Expressed and purified protein levels are calculated by Western blots coupled with standards developed in-house.
The challenge of overexpressing membrane proteins in cells needs to be addressed on multiple levels. First, can you make enough protein without killing the cells? Second, what detergent provides optimal extraction of the membrane protein and stabilizes the protein without aggregation? (Membrane proteins often display significant nonspecific aggregation.)
Third, concentration of the protein enables formation of the proper crystal lattice structure. At concentrations of 1 mg/mL the protein solution is so dilute that the probability of forming crystal nuclei (the initial event in crystallization) is extremely low. The majority of proteins crystallized have initial concentrations between 5 and 20 mg/mL.
At higher concentrations in homogeneous solutions the proteins have a higher probability of interacting in the proper orientation to form a proper crystal lattice (nucleation event). Unfortunately, for many aqueous and membrane proteins, as the concentration of purified protein is increased, there is often an increase in the formation of nonspecific aggregation producing a nonhomogeneous population of purified protein—not desirable for crystallization.
Self-interaction chromatography is a method that has been used to assess the best conditions to place a soluble protein that will support stability of the protein in high concentration without formation of aggregates. Development of an automated analytical self-interaction chromatography system is now being adopted for identification of buffer conditions that will support rapid identification of the optimum solubility conditions followed by identification of solution conditions with a higher probability of crystal formation.
"We've taken this same approach to determine the best buffer conditions to grow membrane protein crystals. We load the column with 0.75 mg of protein, allowing it to form covalent bonds to a polymer-based bead matrix in the column. This guarantees that every surface of the protein is exposed to the solvent," said Larry DeLucas, Ph.D., director, Center for Structural Biology, University of Alabama at Birmingham.
"We then load a few µg of the same protein onto the column under 100 different buffer conditions that contain different solubilizing additives (excipients) and measure the elution retention time for the injected protein. This represents a small random sampling of the total number of possible combinations and concentrations that could be investigated.
"This experimental data along with other parameters, including total protein covalently bound to the matrix and the column void volume is input into an equation that calculates for each solution condition the second virial coefficient, a thermodynamic term that represents the sum of all protein-protein interactions. The calculated second virial coefficient values with their respective solution conditions are then input into an artificial neural network (ANN)," he continued.
"The ANN uses this input data to predict the second virial coefficient values for the complete factorial of possible solution conditions. The resulting predicted values provide an assessment of each solution condition's ability to reduce (positive value) or increase (negative value) protein-protein interactions. For protein crystallization, we are looking for a gentle net attraction, solution parameters that force the protein molecules to display weak attraction, thereby improving the probability of forming high-quality crystals."
From this approach the DeLucas lab has determined that lithium chloride in solutions up to 1 M can support the concentration of the cystic fibrosis transmembrane regulator protein from 0.05 mg/mL to 0.5 mg/mL in a homogeneous solution without formation of aggregates.
As a former payload specialist who flew aboard the 1992 U.S. Space Shuttle Columbia, mission STS-50, Dr. DeLucas was able to demonstrate that certain protein crystals are of higher quality when grown in a microgravity environment as compared with earth-grown crystals of the same protein. At that time, the challenge was the short duration of time in space.
Crystals grow slower in space and so the size of the crystals from the typical space shuttle 10-day mission was often too small for diffraction analysis. With the establishment of the International Space Station (ISS) the time constraints can be overcome. Dr. DeLucas will be contributing more than 100 proteins from researchers in academia and industry to a future commercial launch of the Space X Dragon laboratory, flown on the Falcon rocket.

Senate Leaders in Striking Distance of a Deal
White House Meeting Delayed to Give Talks More Time to Progress
WASHINGTON—Top Senate leaders said they were within striking distance of an agreement Monday to reopen the federal government and defuse a looming debt crisis just days before the U.S. could run out of money to pay its bills.
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D., Nev.) said on the Senate floor that the leaders had made "tremendous progress" toward a deal and that he was hopeful Tuesday would be a "bright day." The Senate's Republican leader, Mitch McConnell of Kentucky, seconded Mr. Reid's optimism. "We've had a good day," he said.
The White House postponed a planned afternoon meeting of congressional leaders with President Barack Obama, saying the schedule change would give Senate leaders time to hash out a deal.
The latest proposal would reopen the government at current spending levels until Jan. 15 and extend the federal borrowing limit until early February, according to aides familiar with the talks. Lawmakers also would begin longer-term negotiations on the budget, with the task of reaching an agreement by Dec. 13.
Even before the deal was unveiled, it provoked grumbling Monday night among restive House Republicans.
By setting up yet another series of fiscal deadlines, the agreement, if embraced, would carry the hallmark of other deadline-driven deals that have become typical of the increasingly polarized Capitol.
"Everybody realizes that whatever happens, we're going to be litigating this another day," said Sen. John Thune of South Dakota, a member of the Senate GOP leadership.
Still, a deal would mark a major breakthrough in the impasse that has gripped Washington for weeks, shutting federal agencies and threatening the government with a debt default.
Stock prices, which have been sensitive to turns in the saga, showed modest gains Monday, with the Dow Jones Industrial Average rising 64.15 points, or 0.42%, to close at 15301.26. Bond markets were closed for the Columbus Day holiday.
In Asia, shares rose early Tuesday on optimism for a deal.
The proposed agreement's framework included no major alterations to the 2010 health-care law that Mr. Obama championed and congressional Republicans have tried to curtail.
However, lawmakers appeared to be weighing some minor changes, including new procedures to verify the incomes of some people receiving government subsidies for health-insurance costs.
Lawmakers also appeared to be considering delaying for a year a fee of $63 per insured person levied on those who offer policies, including employers, unions and insurance carriers. The likely beneficiaries of the fee would be traditional insurance carriers, which are required to sell policies to everyone, regardless of medical history, and so could see customers incur major bills. Large employers and unions that provide coverage say the levy is unfair and they can't afford it, and have fought for an exemption.
One point of tension was whether the deal would include a limit that Republicans want to place on "emergency" powers that the Treasury has used to extend past debt-ceiling deadlines and avoid falling behind on the nation's bills. The dispute is significant enough that Mr. Obama raised it in a phone call Monday with Mr. McConnell, two people familiar with the call said. The Treasury department, under both Republican and Democratic administrations, has used these powers for decades to extend the amount of time the government can continue borrowing money and making payments at times when the nation has hit or neared its debt ceiling but Congress hasn't yet extended U.S. borrowing authority.
Republicans say limiting those powers would ensure that the next debt-ceiling extension is a hard deadline. But Treasury Secretary Jacob Lew has been adamant that Treasury needs the powers to maintain flexibility, in part because of how uncertain debt ceiling votes can be in Congress, two people familiar with the matter said.
Republicans who entered the budget battle determined to gut the health law have steadily scaled back their demands in the face of Democratic resistance. Still, many could find it hard to accept the Senate proposal, especially if it makes no changes to the health law.
Some House Republicans would likely resist the deal, putting House Speaker John Boehner (R., Ohio) in a tight spot.
Mr. Boehner could face a rebellion from the House's most fiscally conservative lawmakers, many of whom were elected with tea-party support. That would force Mr. Boehner to rely on Democrats to pass the Senate measure.
The lack of immediate spending cuts, as well as the absence of major changes to the health law, could prompt conservative opposition.
"I can't vote for something that doesn't have substantive spending cuts right now,'' said Rep. Joe Barton (R., Texas).
Many House Republicans declined to comment until they saw the final Senate proposal. Some still were smarting from Mr. Obama's decision to end discussions with them on Friday, which effectively sidelined the House GOP and accelerated talks in the Senate. The House offer abandoned many of the GOP's initial policy demands. It would have raised the debt ceiling for six weeks without making other policy changes. But it didn't appear to contain any explicit agreement to reopen the government immediately.
"We believed that we could have worked with the president," said Rep. Pete Sessions (R., Texas) "and then the president dropped us like a hot potato."
The potential Senate deal would do nothing for now to solve one of the biggest fiscal issues dividing the two parties: potential adjustments to the across-the-board spending cuts known as the sequester, another round of which are due in January. By funding the government only until that point, lawmakers would give themselves time to discuss changes.
First established as part of a 2011 budget deal to avert an earlier debt crisis, the sequester's next reductions would cut annual spending to $967 billion from the current $986 billion. Both parties consider the sequester a blunt budgeting tool.
Republicans want spending to fall to the level dictated by the sequester, but favor making the cuts more targeted or replacing them with savings extracted from health and safety-net programs. The GOP is particularly concerned that military spending will bear the biggest brunt of the January cuts. Democrats have sought to eliminate the scheduled cuts in part by bringing in more revenue.
Sen. Bob Corker (R., Tenn.) said that both parties will be motivated to revisit the issue before the cuts take effect. Creating pressure for lawmakers to reach an agreement by then "could bring people to a place where we solve this problem and put in place the mandatory reforms that are better for our country," he said.
Mr. Obama, speaking to reporters Monday while visiting a food and family services charity in Washington, warned that "if we don't start making some real progress both in the House and Senate…we stand a good chance of defaulting, and defaulting would have a potentially devastating effect on our economy."
The Treasury says that by Thursday it will have just $30 billion in cash left to pay bills, which would last only a week or two.
Some Republicans have argued that the party should take steps to reopen the government quickly. Many fear that the shutdown has hurt the party's image and say the GOP should move to shift the debate to deficit reduction, where public support is stronger.
"This has been a disastrous experience for the Republican Party,'' said former Sen. Judd Gregg (R., N.H.). "It is marginalized us with the American people and made us look like we don't care about governing.''
Some Republicans didn't want to reopen the government until talks with Mr. Obama had started on long-term fiscal issues. Others wanted the government to remain closed until they had extracted concessions from Democrats on the health law. It was unclear how they would react to the Senate's proposal to open the government immediately and fund it through mid-January.
The talks between Messrs. Reid and McConnell began in earnest Saturday with their first meeting since the partial government shutdown started Oct. 1. The negotiations continued over the weekend with a phone call between the two leaders on Sunday and a meeting in Mr. McConnell's office earlier Monday.
The Senate discussions arose after talks between House Republicans and the White House hit an impasse late last week. A bipartisan group of roughly a dozen senators had been working on a plan that formed the initial framework for the Senate leader's talks.

There is a man in Indiana with the 2012 Mitt Romney presidential campaign logo tattooed on the right side of his face.
That is ridiculous.
According to news reports, Eric Hartsburg posted a listing on eBay in August to auction tattoo advertising space on his face. He told ABC News that a Republican user of the online auction service paid $15,000 for the ''R'' logo to be tattooed on a 5-by-2-inch spot on the side of his head.
All I can do is shake my head in disbelief. Really? A tattoo of Mitt Romney's presidential logo on a man's head?
Hartsburg said it began as a gag, done for publicity, but it became a way to encourage young people to vote. The registered Republican and Romney supporter also told ABC News he didn't mind getting the tattoo ''because it is something that I could live with and it's something that I believe in."
Let's be honest, he got the tattoo on his face for the $15,000.
Hartsburg broke a couple of the rules most people with tattoos, including myself, follow: Avoid getting a tattoo of the name of your boyfriend / girlfriend or husband / wife, and avoid getting clearly visible tattoos on your face, head or neck.
Some local tattoo artists I called sounded off on Hartsburg's decision.
Aaron Chine, owner of Chine Box, a tattoo shop in Austintown, said he'll do a tattoo in those areas, but not without first weighing a number of factors, and he definitely would not do a piece like the one on Hartsburg. Anyone who does tattoos who cares about ''artistic integrity or respects the business'' would never do anything like that, he said.
Debbie Lenz, owner of Artistic Dermagraphics in Youngstown, said she largely avoids doing tattoos on a person's face or neck, but she has made exceptions, such as a cover-up of a cuss word on a man's head because his granddaughter was at the age of learning to read.
Also, she doesn't suggest getting a tattoo for a quick few bucks.
''I think you should get tattoos that are meaningful to you, not for financial gain,'' she said.
This type of thing, selling skin for a tattoo like it's real estate, although odd, isn't unique. A woman in 2005 for the same amount Hartsburg got sold space on her forehead to advertise the website of the online casino, Golden Palace.
Other news reports say that Hartsburg, a wrestler of some sort, doesn't regret getting the ink.
Sure he doesn't.
Here are some suggestions for the 2016 presidential election, Eric: Put a bumper sticker on your car or a campaign sign in your front yard or maybe even take a break from power slamming and figure-four leg locks to register voters or help people get to vote.
But if you still feel the need to permanently alter your body to support the next presidential candidate, do it in a less visible place. How about your rear end, so when you drop your trousers to show off just how much you support that candidate, you can get a kick in the same backside for getting foolish tattoos.

For those who have walked with any regularity through the grand neoclassical galleries of the Albright-Knox Art Gallery in recent years, the work of Los Angeles-based sculptor Robert Therrien has been difficult to avoid.
In 2006, the gallery's light-filled sculpture court hosted one of Therrien's monumental "Table and Chairs" sculptures. The industrially fabricated version of an otherwise unremarkable dining room set, of the sort one might buy at Target, had been enlarged to many times its original size and towered over visitors' heads.
The next year, the gallery purchased a metal version of the sculpture, looking exactly like the beige card table and folding chairs currently gathering dust in your garage, which has popped up in a few recent exhibitions. But while those outsized works are surely the ones that stick out in the minds of visitors, there's much more to Therrien's work than meets our upward gazes.
On Wednesday, the gallery opened "Robert Therrien," a compact survey of the artist's work by former Albright-Knox curator Heather Pesanti that seeks to provide a fuller sense of the artist's career.
Pesanti, who left her post at the gallery along with former director Louis Grachos earlier this year to work at AMOA-Arthouse in Austin, Texas, also was introduced to Therrien's work via his mammoth table and chairs when they appeared in the 1996 Carnegie International exhibition in Pittsburgh.
"That's the work I saw first, the big stuff, and there was a certain impression you can have from that," Pesanti said in a phone interview as she made her way back to Buffalo for the opening. "It's really exciting and playful and different, but there's so much more to him than that. There's such a studied quietness and perseverance, of time, of form and material."
Pesanti's show features a great deal of the artist's earlier work, including an important series from the 1980s and '90s that the Albright-Knox acquired from the late Italian collector Giuseppe Panza in 2008. Those pieces include one of his small snowman figures, a painted wood sculpture resembling a chapel, a sculpture of a man's hat atop a plinth and other elegant pieces that sit in the pregnant sweet spot between abstraction and representation.
Pesanti compared Therrien's favorite forms – the themes upon which he bases individual pieces, each one subtly different from the last – to the ever-evolving grids of painter Agnes Martin.
"I personally find them so interesting and can stand in front of them forever," Pesanti said of Martin's grids. "Something about the repetition of it isn't repetition, it's like a form that has enough depth that you can keep exploring it. That's sort of like what Therrien is to me."
In the context of this show, it's tempting to view Therrien's career as one long crescendo, beginning with small and quiet works and building to his massive fabricated sculptures. But, as Pesanti suggested in her accompanying essay, that might be a little too simplistic.
Each of his objects, whether gigantic or miniscule, is an attempt to take something familiar and make it wonderfully strange by changing its scale, its form or its context. "Such objects seem to alter the surrounding environment," Pesanti wrote. "The color and tenor of the sky might be slightly shifted; something quotidian tastes different; an alternate route to work becomes appealing."
The show, which also in some ways grew out of Grachos' long support of Therrien and his work, will also feature the artist's collaboration with the late, revered poet and University at Buffalo professor Robert Creeley. The artist and poet worked together on a book, "6 & 7," with the French author Michael Butor, which will be part of the show. Their collaboration, Pesanti wrote, may lend visitors a more complete understanding of what Therrien is after.
"Poetry is perhaps a more appropriate metaphor for Therrien's work," Pesanti wrote, "as both Creeley's words and Therrien's objects are open-ended, circling around meaning rather than leading us directly to it."

Few Mexican folk heroes command so much reverence as Francisco "Pancho" Villa, the ruthless bandito and cattle rustler turned revolutionary, though facts about his life remain surprisingly obscure. Born in San Juan del Río, Durango, around 1878 (sources differ), to a simple peasant family, he became an outlaw whilst still a teenager and seems to have developed a loyal group of followers. Though he had virtually no formal education, Villa was not the average bandit; quick-witted and ambitious, in 1910 he decided to support the revolt of Francisco Madero against the Díaz regime. As commander of the formidable División del Norte, Villa became a key player in the Mexican Revolution. He became a bitter enemy of Victoriano Huerta after Madero was executed in 1913, helping to oust the dictator the following year and briefly becoming governor of Chihuahua after hard-fought victories at Chihuahua, Ciudad Juárez, Tierra Blanca and Ojinaga. When Villa fell out with the new president, Carranza, fighting continued and even spilled across the border (leading to a failed US expedition to capture the rebel). With the death of Carranza in 1920 Villa finally laid down his guns, dividing time between Hidalgo del Parral and Chihuahua. Violence continued to haunt him however, and he was assassinated in Parral in 1923 – it was never determined who ordered the killing.
In Mexico, Villa remains a national hero, a Robin Hood-like figure who not only defeated the Mexican regime, but was also the only foreigner to attack the US (since the War of 1812) and survive. North of the border his image was enhanced by lurid US media reports – indeed, his sombrero and cartridge belts have become the stereotypical accessories of Mexican movie banditos ever since. Villa himself courted Hollywood and even starred in a film incorporating actual scenes of the Battle of Ojinaga in 1914 (portrayed by Antonio Banderas in And Starring Pancho Villa As Himself).

I enjoy taking photos and find it relaxing when I can sit down and look at them on my computer and have fun playing around with the editing. I'd never claim to be a photographer and will never pretend to be. I just like to take pictures. And so I will.
I love to knit, and am in the middle of a project I'm excited about, because it's for my house. But I don't really think I'd ever want to have my own etsy shop. I just want to knit for me, and for gifts. I like it this way.
I blog. And I find writing is one of my passions, but truth be told I do not blog with the hopes of getting a book deal someday. I am happy just blogging. So I will.
I am a Mom and while I would never personally consider myself The Best Mom In The World (many days I think I'm doing the WORST job at it, ever) (but I know that's not true either), I think my kids would call me that (the best mom in the world), so. I know a lot about being a Mom, but oh heck, I don't know anywhere near everything. And I will not pretend to.
I think it's perfectly ok to do neat things and do them just for the joy of it (or others) with no need of becoming a "professional whateveriam." I find comfort in just being. Me. No [yarn]strings attached.
In conclusion,
I took another test today and it was

2. As some of you may know, one of my best BEST guy friends (J) works for vineyard vines, so I'm always on the up and up on the new fun stuff going on. Well, every year they host a sample sale in my hometown, and guess what tonight is? Yup, the sample sale! I can't wait to get my butt out of the office and head straight to shopping for great deals with my mom. This year I'm on the hunt for new work clothes for me and M. I'll be sure to post about all my good finds!
3. I'm finally selling items on eBay again. I did it a couple of summers ago and made tons of cash, so I'm hoping this proves to be a fruitful venture.
4. Have I told you all that I'm loving my new career? No? Well, I'm loving it!
5. I ordered the iPhone 4S! Finally, the days of the dingleberry...I mean crackberry...I mean Blackberry are over! Anyone else have an iPhone? Who wants to facetime with me as soon as it arrives? I know some of you do!

Yesterday I was on the go every moment it seems or I was trying to get things done around the house or I was trying to referee my three kids and whoever else's kids were in my garage or I was making a mad rush to the grocery store for celery (must. have. celery. I'm even eating it right now at seven in the morning.)
No wonder when I finally run off by myself to another commitment in the evening, I lock my keys in my car at the gas station. Kick me while I'm down- I dropped $4.19 a gallon and find out, oh yeah, you can't leave, too.
So, I call hubby to come unlock me and laugh at the mess I am, only to see that another blogger who happens to be in town also happens to be there at the gas station to witness the mess that I am. So of course we took a picture. Yay for blogger gas station meetups!
And so my cankles are glaring at me, reminding me. I need to just sit down already.

my favorite is tsunade off of naruto
I like Motoko from Ghost in the shell, you gotta love a girl you can keep a bunch of military guys in line.
I quite like Noa Izumi in Patlabor (if anyone still remember) one of the only character which I think doesn't do what female character usually are.. a bit weak.. girly cries too much
how do you do the ic thing....i can't do it :'-("people do not need violence to solve there problems."
temari, kagara, kikyo, diva, and sango

She is so Cute!
says the guy who has a guy beating up another guy video
WOW! that is a big picture, she is dominant! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!! (lol)
"people do not need violence to solve there problems."
*hide in corner* (lol) :-)
i love her,she is awsome.if she were real i would so be her friend.her actions period are awsome."people do not need violence to solve there problems."
I love her attitude, always cool, calm and collected. She always knows just what to do at any time.
i agree,i only wish she were real.don't you?"people do not need violence to solve there problems."
yes I do, I just don't know how I'd approach her.
i'm with yo there man...i would want to ask here out but i don't think i could find the word's.i would probably say"um hi...uuuuummm...nice uuu day out ha.....WILL YOU GO OUT WITH ME!!!"then run away for some strange reason.and when i ask her i'd yell it...and the strang thing about that is it worked on my last girlfriend that i was scared to ask out in school."people do not need violence to solve there problems."
Hinata is the best all the way... "By night their is a †Lone Wolf†, By day their is †KinRyuu†..."
shipuden sakura well in my eyes she is still preaty wimpy but compared to the other konoichi i would say shes good and a littell hot
I Just like Masane Amaha/Witchlblade 'cause she's a clutz one minute then she turns into a bad ass from hell the next :-)

This year marks the 75th anniversary of the March of Dimes and its efforts to fund research and programs to ensure healthy babies.
If you go
What: "March for Babies Charleston."When: Saturday. Registration starts at 8 a.m. The 3-mile walk begins at 9 a.m.Where: Cannon Park, 261 Calhoun St., Charleston.How much: Individuals and teams raise money in any amount.More info: www.marchofdimes.com/southcarolina or 571-1776.
And since 1970, the March of Dimes in Charleston has been holding what used to be called "walkathons" to raise money for the cause.
This year, both the first local poster child and the newest ambassador family will play roles, showing their gratitude for what the organization has done for their lives, in its March of Dimes "March for Babies Charleston" that will start with registration at 8 a.m. Saturday in Cannon Park.
Executive Director Meredith Goodwin Repik said she is anticipating 2,000 people in 250 teams for the event. Their goal is $450,000.
In 1970, Cindy Fowler was 3 when she was chosen as the poster child, which later was renamed "ambassador," for the Charleston Walk America, later renamed March for Babies. She always vied to be national poster child.
When Fowler was 3 months old, doctors discovered she had juvenile malignant fibrosarcoma in her left leg, which they amputated above the knee. The event would set up a lifelong relationship between her and the charity.
"The March of Dimes paid for my artificial legs until I was 18 years old," says Fowler, now 46 and living in Goose Creek.
For years, she appeared annually on the March of Dimes "Telerama."
"It was a big part of my life when I was a child because I got to be on TV and my sisters and brother did not," says Fowler, chuckling.
Through the years, Fowler has continued to show her support for the March of Dimes. On Saturday, her team, named 1970 Poster Child, is walking. As of last week, the team had raised $500.
"I have to give back," Fowler says. "They gave so much to me for 18 years. It's nice to give back, even in small ways."
The March of Dimes remains relevant today, as the Sarah and Wes Linker family can attest.
Two and half years ago, their triplets were born 10 weeks prematurely. Thomas weighed 3 pounds, 7 ounces; Kelsey, 3 pounds, 6 ounces; and Easton, a mere 2 pounds, 14 ounces.
As the case with premature babies, they had difficulty breathing and were administered surfactant at birth, a life-saving drug that the March of Dimes helped develop.
The months to come were trying for the first-time parents as the babies had their ups and downs in the Medical University of South Carolina's neonatal intensive-care unit.
Wes says, "We started parenthood with three, so we didn't know any better. It was very difficult for us. We'd visit one in the hospital with two at home or vice-versa."
Sarah, a nurse, recalls there were times they were "terrified, " but literature in the NICU, also funded by the March of Dimes, often provided them comfort to weather the storm and make the right decisions.
The children are now healthy, happy and energetic.
"Now all we have to worry about is potty training, driving and (paying for) college," Wes says.
And that's the way it should be.
Cindy Fowler, now 46 and living in Goose Creek, was the "poster child" for the first March of Dimes Walk in 1970 and has meticulously kept news articles, pledge forms and even one of her first legs, purchased by the March of Dimes. David Quick/postandcourier.com×

When the Cascadia section of the Pacific Connections Garden was under construction, a natural depression appeared. Recognizing the potential for this poorly-draining area, Jason Henry of the Berger Partnership incorporated a Cascadian bog into the design. Pacific Connections Gardener Kyle Henegar explains, "Creating the bog is a long-term process as the soil conditions mature, the plants are phased in, and as Roy Farrow and I continue to procure and stage snags and rocks to create a more realistic-looking garden. I suggest visitors come visit the bog frequently to see how it ages over time and develops the beautiful patina of a native bog."
An irrigation system will keep the soil soggy during dry months. Vegetation includes Andromeda polifolia, Ledum glandulosum and Rhododendron occidentale grown from seed collected in the Siskiyou Mountains by Collections Manager Randall Hitchin, and Darlingtonia californica from the UW Botany Greenhouse. Native plants such as huckleberry and maidenhair fern are serving as placeholders while bog plants are being phased in. In addition, the Cascadian Focal Forest contains a Siskiyou seep area along the east side of the first stairway. It too is being phased in and is currently full of container-grown native plants and plants grown from wild-collected seed.

HARRISBURG - State Sen. Jake Corman, R-Bellefonte, announced Thursday that the NCAA has agreed to not "disperse or otherwise dissipate" any of the $12 million in fine money already paid by Penn State university to the NCAA while negotiations continue on the over-riding lawsuit filed by Corman, but the collegiate sports governing body said no negotiations are happening.
On Wednesday, Commonwealth Court Judge Keith Quigley put on hold Corman's request for a preliminary injunction to prohibit the NCAA from releasing any of the money the university has already paid. Corman asked for the injunction request to be put on hold indicating the filing had the support of the NCAA.
Corman also filed a lawsuit earlier this month asking the court to enjoin the NCAA or their endowment from releasing the $60 million fine to organizations outside of Pennsylvania.
NCAA spokesman Bob Williams told the Associated Press that the organization has not been negotiating with Corman, either about spending the $12 million or the larger lawsuit, and called his lawsuit groundless.
"We believe the senator's lawsuit is without basis, and we intend to proceed with the litigation," Williams said. "As we've explained to the senator's lawyers in our discussions, no funds will be disbursed until a third party administrator is appointed, and until that time the funds are held in an independent account not controlled by the NCAA."
Corman's request to put his initial injunction request on hold said the NCAA informed him "that for multiple reasons it has no intention to disburse or otherwise dissipate said funds in the immediate future," and agreed to give Corman two months' notice if that changes.
At a convention in Grapevine, Texas, NCAA president Mark Emmert disputed Corman's statement that the NCAA has been negotiating over the lawsuit and said his organization will never see the money or decide where it is spent.
"A group of presidents and others are setting up the framework by which all that will happen," Emmert said. "As they set that up and get it all in place, then indeed that group can make a decision to dispense money."
Also Wednesday, Corman introduced a narrowly-focused bill, the Institution of Higher Education Consent Decree Endowment Act, which would determine how matters such as Penn State's are handled. Corman's office said he believes it would also apply to the NCAA-Penn State consent agreement.
"I believe the fine money, which is coming from Pennsylvania residents, should stay in Pennsylvania and benefit our organizations and children," Corman said in a press release. "Every dollar will continue to go to worthy and valuable child abuse prevention and educational organizations, except this way, the connection between Pennsylvania resident funds and Pennsylvania benefits will be clear.
"The Pennsylvania Task Force on Child Protection recently issued a comprehensive report which points to many worthwhile organizational avenues in our commonwealth that could benefit greatly from the distribution of the fine. I believe keeping the money in Pennsylvania is not only appropriate, but also will significantly help the state achieve the goals and preparedness the task force spells out."
The act's primary provision is that fine money must go into a custodial trust in the state treasury, and the Pennsylvania Commission on Crime and Delinquency would distribute the money in the state for child sexual abuse prevention or to help victims.
Corman serves as Chairman of the Senate Appropriations Committee, is a Penn State alumnus and represents the State College area as part of the 34th Senatorial District.
The university was fined $60 million over five years as part of agreed-to NCAA sanctions resulting from the school's handling of the child sex abuse scandal involving former assistant football coach Jerry Sandusky. The school also lost some scholarships for four years and served the first year of a four-year bowl ban this season.
Sandusky was convicted on 45 counts of child sex abuse and sentenced to at least 30 years in state prison. He maintains his innocence and is appealing his conviction.
Information from the Associated Press was used in this report.

Prosecutors in the George Zimmerman murder case want to know once and for all if Zimmerman is waiving his right to a pre-trial Stand Your Ground hearing.
In that motion, prosecutors are asking the judge to require Zimmerman attend a hearing already scheduled for April 30 and make his intentions clear.
Zimmerman's defense has indicated they may make their case for immunity during the June murder trial.
Without this clarification, prosecutors said this could become an appellate issue if Zimmerman is convicted of killing of Trayvon Martin.

A cantakerous highly volitile army veteran, he usually hangs out around queen and yonge. He's usually muttering to himself about korea and the gulf. No one can be fully sure when left eye lobo had his first lobotomy, but according to his some-what unreliable accounts chances are sometime after he blew up at his drill sergent and before he was dispatched as a guerilla. Left eye-lobo hates women as they remind him of his "ona" which means woman in japanese, and is what he uses to refer to his mother. When he's not slapping teenage girl's butts and offering to pay them two dollars for sexual favours he can be seen taking "kung fu" joy rides in his shopping cart.
Left Eye Lobo: Shut up, ona, I'm telling the story.
