'Carol Burnett Show' lives again on Erie stage
Two years ago, the Station Dinner Theatre showcased the genius of one of television's greatest comedies with "The Carol Burnett Variety Show," a collection of sketches from the iconic variety show. It played so well that a second edition was a no-brainer.
While the 2014 production revisits a few characters featured in the first show -- namely the Old Man and the members of Mama's family -- it features a fresh batch of sketches.
"We wanted to introduce some of the skits we didn't get a chance to do. There's so much amazing material," said director Rae Jean Urbanowicz, who will perform alongside her husband Paul. Other performers include David Mitchell and Dave Edmunds, who will alternate shows, and Carrie Smith.
Poring over that material was a joyful part of the preparation process that left the Urbanowiczes' children just as enchanted and eager to re-enact scenes as their parents.
"It's stuff that kids of all ages can enjoy," said Rae Jean Urbanowicz.
She noted that the Station is taking an innovative approach to performing some of the show's classic songs.
"We're infusing musical numbers with actual footage from 'The Carol Burnett Show,'" she said. "You forget these people were also great singers."
Along with comedy and music, the Station will serve up a scrumptious meal by Chef Bob Stewart and provide plenty of opportunities to chat with the performers before the show and during the breaks.
"When we get to perform with the same people again, it's lots of fun," said Urbanowicz, who noted that everyone from the first cast, with the exception of Barry McAndrew, has returned.
"That's what makes the show click so well. We've performed together for so long that we really get each other."
They also crack each other up, which has been happening a lot in rehearsals. They look forward to spreading that levity around liberally.
"There was something so special about that show. It's just one of those gems," Urbanowicz said. "I think the audiences are just gonna love it. They loved the last one, and this one's even better."

I was using a tree created by alloctree(), 9pfile(2) to write a
synthetic filesystem and got
into a problem I have seen before, but I can´t remember if I asked
about it here (google
doesn't find anything).
There is no way to register a close() function in Srv which can be
called when a clunk
is received for an open file.
The solution may, alternatively be to register a clunk()
function and each can do what they want with it though I
do not like it because I feel I should receive things related
with files and not with fids.
This is important to do garbage collection in some
cases (for example if you open something when you get an open and want to
close it). Is there a reason for this function not existing? am I
missing something?.
At some point in the past I had a modified version of the library (my
proposed solution)
and at another I played with the references (very ugly) if my memory
serves right.

BACKGROUND: For patients with residual or recurrent squamous-cell carcinoma of the anus after primary chemoradiotherapy, the standard treatment is surgical salvage. Patients with unresectable or borderline unresectable disease have poor outcomes, thus adjunctive treatments should be explored.
OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study is to report outcomes for patients with residual/recurrent anal cancer treated with multimodality therapy including salvage surgical resection and intraoperative radiotherapy.
DESIGN: This is an observational study.
SETTINGS: This study was conducted at a tertiary referral center.
PATIENTS: Thirty-two patients were treated between 1993 and 2012. Median age was 53 years (range, 34–87). Salvage treatment was performed for residual disease (n = 9), first recurrence (n = 17), or second recurrence (n =6) after primary chemoradiotherapy.
INTERVENTIONS: Patients with recurrent disease received preoperative external beam reirradiation with concurrent chemotherapy. All patients underwent salvage surgical resection and intraoperative radiotherapy. Extent of surgical resection was R0 (negative margins, n = 16), R1 (microscopic residual, n = 13), or R2 (macroscopic residual, n = 3). The median intraoperative radiotherapy dose was 12.5 Gy.
MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Treatment-related adverse events were classified according to the National Cancer Institute – Common Toxicity Criteria. Overall and disease-free survival were estimated by using the Kaplan-Meier technique. Central, local-regional, and distant failure were estimated by the use of the cumulative incidence method.
RESULTS: Median length of hospital stay was 9 days. Mortality at 30 days after surgery and intraoperative radiotherapy was 0%. Fifteen patients (47%) experienced a total of 16 grade 3 treatment-related adverse events (wound complication (n = 6), bowel obstruction (n = 5), and ureteral obstruction (n = 3)). The 5-year estimates of overall and disease-free survival were 23% and 17%. The 5-year estimates of central, local-regional, and distant failure were 21%, 51%, and 40%.
LIMITATIONS: This was a single-institution observational study with limited patient numbers.
CONCLUSIONS: In this heavily pretreated, high-risk patient population, multimodality therapy including salvage surgery and intraoperative radiotherapy was associated with long-term survival in a small, but significant subset of patients.

Improving API Documentation for Java-Like Languages
The Javadoc paradigm for displaying API documentation to users is quite popular, with similar variants existing for many mainstream languages. However, two user interface design properties of Javadoc may reduce its utility when displaying documentation for APIs that make use of inheritance and parametric polymorphism. First, Javadoc does not show a flattened view of all members of a class or interface, but rather only those defined directly in the type. Second, and as a consequence, any methods whose types contain type parameters of a superclass will always be shown in the context of the superclass. That is, if the method C:m returns type T, subclasses of C will always see this parent signature, even if they instantiate T to a concrete type such as Integer.

Don't Fire California Teachers for Private Marijuana Use
By Amanda Reiman
Drug Policy Alliance
The road to hell is paved with good intentions. Behind a veiled claim of protecting the public, collateral sanctions continue to be heaped upon those arrested for using drugs. While these policies may be well intentioned, they are creating an inter-generational chain reaction that unjustly impacts entire communities for decades to come.
Every time a well-intentioned lawmaker adds another collateral sanction or lifetime punishment for a drug violation, they advance the New Jim Crow (the impetus for segregation), and further arm the drug war, which has had a disproportionate impact on Black and Latino communities.
Such is the case of AB 375 by Joan Buchanan, Democrat of Livermore, California. In the main, it's a good bill, making it easier to suspend or fire teachers who are charged with or convicted of sex offenses, or other serious misconduct. However, it also includes provisions to make it easier to drum a teacher out of his or her job for low-level drug offenses, including using marijuana on their own time, away from school, or growing or using marijuana recommended by their doctor.
While it is not the intent of this bill to disqualify greater numbers of Black and Latino teachers than whites that is its likely effect. In 2010, the arrest rate for marijuana misdemeanors per 100,000 persons varied greatly by race: Black: 473 per 100,000; Latino: 169; White: 142; Asian: 65.
Policies that deny college funding, business and contractors licenses, deny food stamps and other public assistance such as healthcare and housing, and even remove the right to vote, based on a nonviolent drug conviction, further disenfranchise Black and Latino communities, building a permanent underclass of untouchables.

But it doesn't stop there. As an unintended consequence of the effort to destroy the lives and abilities for success among those who use drugs, policymakers are systematically removing the mentors of the next generation and quashing the examples they might have set for today's youth.
To be clear, teachers can already be dismissed for being intoxicated on the job, or if their use involves a minor. These are policies that Drug Policy Alliance wholeheartedly supports. However, AB 375 would police the private lives of teachers and make dismissal a reality for behavior conducted on their own time, including cultivating or using marijuana for personal medical use.
Whenever the punishments for drug arrests or drug convictions are widened, as is the case in this bill, the lifetime collateral consequences fall hardest on people of color, their families and communities.
Even as Californians' attitudes toward marijuana have become more accepting, the numbers of persons arrested for marijuana offenses have skyrocketed and the racial disparities in enforcement are even more severe. In 2010, California imprisoned Blacks for marijuana offenses at a rate 10 times the rate of other races, despite rates of use and selling that are approximately equal among all racial and ethnic groups.
Most of the persons likely to be fired, suspended, or disqualified for teaching would be men. However, female arrests have become more common in the last twenty years, as well. Arrests of women in California for marijuana misdemeanors increased 169% from 1990 to 2009 (2071 vs. 7329) compared to a 120% increase for men. This was most pronounced among Black women who suffered a 154% increase compared to a 115% increase for white women.
Given the already disparate demographics of California teachers compared to their students, this bill threatens to widen that gap. Of the 283,836 teachers in the classroom in California for the 2011-2012 school year, a mere 18% were Hispanic and 4% were Black. Furthermore, only 5% were Hispanic males and 1% were Black males.
That same year, Hispanic students accounted for 53% and Black students accounted for over 6% of those enrolled in California schools. So where are the potential role models to these students? Where are the teachers who look like they do? Well, Black males make up 29% of the California prison population and Hispanic males comprise 40%. The institutional racism of the war on drugs is threatening to invade the classroom.
The drug war is a racist war. Building on its foundation would be a mistake. If AB 375 isn't amended, the institutional racism of the war on drugs will have made it into the classroom.

So, if you go to a private sector job and get stoned and are tested you get fired. But, if you work as a school teacher (you know, the ones setting examples for children) or receiving government grants and get stoned, well, that's ok?
that hispanics and black make up such a disproportionate number of convicted criminals for drug violations is not proof of institutional rascism. If you could prove that they were disproportionaly convicted even though they were innocent than that would be such proof. But, the author doesn't say any such thing.
Marijuana is against federal law. A teacher should give good example by refraining frim using it. The data about various groups who are convicted of drug usuage--maybe certain groups use controlled substances more than others. No racism.
According to a 2007 study, percentage of folks over the age of 26 who use marijuana, broken down by race:
Hispanic: 26.8%
Black: 38%
White: 45.2%
So there ya go. Maybe certain groups DO use controlled substances more than others...

2 to 1 mix of Kikkoman Soy Sauce and Lea & Perrins Worcester Sauce + Whatever extra Flavors you like.
I suggest these Additions:
Garlic and Pepper.
Or just Plain Garlic OR Pepper!
Comino and Red Chili Powder.
Oregano and Lemon.
Then soak your thin sliced meat in the refrigerator for MINIMUM! 24 Hours in the Mixture. 48 Hours isn't to long!
At this point your jerky is pretty much enbalmed by the Vinegar, Salt, and preservatives. Few germs will survive.
Remove and dry with Paper Towels.
Dry for 4-5 hours till Hard! In either a dehydrator, or a oven at the LOWEST! setting with the door cracked!
You can Steal a "TEST" piece from here on! ;)
Place in Zip lock Bags for final drying.
After a day or so the surface will become wet again. This is because the center of the jerky drys much slower than the outside. Also the dryer outside pulls out the inner moisture.
Crack open the Zip Lock bags and let them dry in the sun, or in your oven with no heat and the door open a little.
Jerky is Firm when ready.
Bend at thickest part to see if it is dry enough.
NOTE! Using Kikkoman and Lea And Perrins adds a lot of preservatives to the jerky. It's going bad before you eat it isn't REALLY possible! :)
January 14, 2003, 11:46 PM
That is pretty close to the same thing I use.
I will sometimes add some Teriyaki to the mix. Also it is important that if you don't use fresh garlic, pepper, or onions.
Use Powder not salt. There will already be enough salt in the mix.
Preservatives HAA That stuff never lasts a single day around here. If the windows are open I will have complete strangers knocking on the door.
January 15, 2003, 12:45 AM
Here's my variation of the same recipe..
2 teasspoons salt
1 teaspoon pepper
1 teaspoon garlic powder
4 tablespoons woschtershire (?) sauce
2 tablespoons liqued smoke
1/2 cup water
2 pounds or so of thinly sliced meat
Mix ingrediants, marinade meat 12 hours stirring occasionally. Dehydrate until done.
January 15, 2003, 01:02 AM
Yes but who else pounds the meat with a 22 Ounce can of Tomatoes to tenderize it? ;)
January 20, 2003, 10:45 PM
One other Tip.
Fat goes rotten faster than the meat!
Use the leanest possible meat and trim it!
January 21, 2003, 03:01 AM
Fat. That reminds me. Who knows the real scoop on pemmican. What I've heard is that 'jerky' has no fat, and is no balanced meal (something like that.) So you add animal fat to it, grind, smush and jerk, then you have your important animal fat too. It has a very short shelf life but is important to have as opposed to just jerky...
True? False? Comments?
February 12, 2004, 01:25 AM
Hmm, that's a good question. How does one go about makin' pemmican?
February 12, 2004, 10:51 AM
I'll offer my mostly uninformed thoughts here -
I thought pemmican also contains other non-meat stuff, like berries, nuts, etc.
You sorta pound it all together and dry it in strips.
Doesn't keep as long as jerky, but it will sustain you longer in the bush.
(also, if you're carting it around in the winter up north, it probably wouldn't go bad for a long time)
February 12, 2004, 11:13 AM
You can make a real tasty teriyaki jerky by simply marinating the strips of meat overnight in a mixture of about 2/3 teriyaki sauce and 1/3 water. I add a little black pepper and liquid smoke too. I dry mine in the dehydrator.
February 12, 2004, 09:00 PM
I get some round steak cut into quarter inch slices.set it in a liquid made with a1 steak sauce,teraki sauce and a can of that powdered cajun seasoning.set it in the fridge a day in a pot and lay the slices on the dehidrator.WARNING; the smell from it slowly cooking will fill the house and when you check on it...itll be gone.
Brian Williams
February 12, 2004, 09:48 PM
I take my meat, defat it, and freeze it
then I thaw it almost.
while it is still semi frozen I slice it around 1/8 to 1/4 thick
Then I marinate it in;
3/4 c soy sauce
1/4 c br sugar
1 tsp ginger
3 Tsp Worcestershire sauce
Then I stir it every 6 to 12 hours for 36 to 48 hours.
Then I put it in the oven at the lowest temp with the door just open. I dry it till hard. I store it in a large ziploc.
This marinade is great for steaks and Londonbroil if you add 2 Tsp oil, particurlarly Hoisin oil. I leave out the oil for jerky to prevent spoilage.
February 13, 2004, 12:54 AM
Can you make jerky from hog meat, or is it too fatty?
February 13, 2004, 04:04 PM
I've always been a little gun shy with making jerky out of pig meat because of the trichinosis. However, I have read some FDA guidelines on freezing meat at certain temperatures for a certain time period that will kill the little worms that cause it. Plus, a buddy of mine says he's been making and eating bear jerky his whole life and he's not too abnormal because of it (or anything else). So I guess you could use hog meat after taking certain precautions.
February 13, 2004, 04:13 PM
Interesting topic.
Made my first jerky not too long ago, and Kcustom45's first batch should be done today.
Another thing you might try adding is brown sugar. Not sure how that affects how long it will keep, but it adds to the flavor.
What I use has already been listed here, but I don't really measure the ingredients ... just make sure I have enough to cover all the meat and start throwing it on.
February 13, 2004, 11:36 PM
pemmican used added fat but only fat rendered from boiling the bone marrow. This is much different than fat from muscle or organ meat. dried meat, marrow fat, and berries were pounded together into a thick paste, then caked and further dried for stability and portability.

MFC is a global commodity supply chain company that used to be known as Terra Nova Royalty. It boosted its dividend rate earlier this year.
Cal-Maine's specialty is shelled eggs. Analysts see the Mississippi-based company generating a profit of $1.55 a share, well ahead of the $0.96 it laid a year earlier.
Tesla Motors (NASDAQ: TSLA ) will be in the spotlight on Tuesday. CEO Elon Musk sent out an interesting tweet a few days ago, pumping up an upcoming announcement that will have him putting his money where his mouth is. The announcement will probably be about investing more in the company or paying down Tesla's debt.
We'll see what Musk is excited about on Tuesday.
Mitcham Industries (NASDAQ: MIND ) checks in on Wednesday. The supplier of geophysical equipment is probably in for a rough quarter. Analysts see profitability being cut nearly in half on a 20% drop in revenue.
Franklin Covey (NYSE: FC ) checks in on Thursday. The provider of training and consulting services is expected to see its quarterly profit nearly double to $0.11 a share. Earlier this month, Franklin Covey was celebrating making the cut for the sixth year in a row on TrainingIndustry.com's list of Top Sales Training Companies.
The market is quiet on the first Friday of the new quarter, but things should pick up in a few weeks once earnings season starts again.

I've waited on a lot of plants over the years.
It's difficult for a gardener to insist on instant gratification. Plants take time and there's no getting around it. Even if you can afford to hire a backhoe to dig a hole and utilize a tree-planting machine to bring in a mature specimen, plants will go into shock, drop leaves, or just sit in limbo above the surface of the soil while the roots get themselves established.
There is an adage that gardeners use to describe the growth of most perennial plants, ''First year sleep, second year creep, third year leap!'' This slogan is most often used to describe clematis, but it fits pretty much all perennial plants. Visitors to a new garden can tell at first glance it is a new garden. Plants are small and if planted correctly, are quite a good distance apart in anticipation of their maturity.
It takes about three years for most and even more for some. But I'm not going anywhere.
I've been waiting about five years, maybe six, to see flowers on my Cornus kousa, also known as Japanese Flowering Dogwood, or as most gardeners call it, the Kousa Dogwood. I've written about this plant before, most recently when I saw a mature kousa towering over a driveway at a nursery in Geneva. At that time, I was concerned that I'd planted my Kousa too close to the house. I debated moving it to another location or leaving it there with regular prunings to keep it within its boundaries. I didn't move it, but I haven't pruned it yet either, mainly because it is a slow grower and still hasn't shown any sign of wandering further than it should. Nor has it bloomed.
I was excited when I first got the plant because I wanted to see those strawberry-like seedpods hanging from its branches. It was OK that it also bloomed in spring, but to me the flowers are insignificant. The seed pods are what lured me to buy such a plant. I'm still waiting, although watching it expand in both height and girth each season with its lime colored red-tinged leaf edges is nearly as gratifying. I almost don't mind the wait.
This is the same feeling I get anytime I introduce a new plant to the garden. Last year, after working on a new garden bed, I planted a clematis vine. I knew the clematis growth habit well and didn't expect much. I wasn't proven wrong. This spring, my husband said, ''I don't think it's going to make it.''
''Give it time,'' I told him and recited the slogan.
Now a month later, the vine, although slow to get started this year, is about three feet long with four deep purple flowers peeking through the spaces in the chain-link fence it was meant to climb. Next year, I expect more from it; more branching, more vines and more flowers. I don't think I'll be disappointed.
This waiting on plants to establish themselves underground before focusing their attention on what goes on above isn't an issue with annuals. Annuals strive to grow, bloom and set seed in one season. They have to hustle to accomplish this goal because time isn't on their side. Some of them will even continue to entertain us with their showy flowers even after they've been hit with one or two light frosts in early fall.
I waited about three years for the viburnum to bloom - the same one I've been ranting about lately that lost its life to the viburnum leaf beetle. Viburnums, I've decided, are my new favorite plants, in spite of the pest that wants nothing more than to destroy them.
Michael Dirr, horticulturist, professor of horticulture at the University of Georgia, and woody plant expert, wrote in his book, ''Manual of Woody Landscape Plants,'' that having a garden without viburnum is like a life without art or music. And there are so many varieties to collect it is nearly impossible not to start with one and keep going until the garden is filled. For example, cranberry bush viburnum, V. trilobum, is filled with brilliant red berries that last as long as the birds will let them.
Many species bear fruit, in fact. Most will grow in bright sun but there are several that prefer shade and their flowers can resemble large snowballs or lacecaps that we often associate with hydrangeas. There are at least 150 varieties, including dwarf viburnums that can fit into smaller landscapes.
Now that we know the beetle is here, we can prepare to spray in April with horticultural oil before the plants start to bud out and we can treat with insecticidal soap as soon as we see the first signs of leaf growth. We can use sticky traps to keep the larvae from crawling down to the soil to pupate if they do appear on the plants and if all else fails, we can use a systemic pesticide as recommended by the garden center.
There are ways to combat these pests and the viburnum is not only worth the effort, it is worth the wait.

I don't like that Trader Joe's keeps their IPAs warm on the shelves, but I do like that I got a six-pack of fresh Ponto for $8.99.
Mayra was telling me they had to put a limit on the cookie butter, as people were buying tons of it and then selling it on ebay.
the gingerbread cookie butter.....my lord
Yeah, and apparently asians were the worst offenders. They would try to buy a bunch to send to their families overseas. So typical. We've had a jar for months that has only had a couple spoons taken out. I'm not as into it as other people. We did make some kind of chimichurri steak tonight that was really good.
Also there is this, which Mayra finds hilarious.
This thread makes me oh so very happy, yet so so sad. I live very far from a Trader Joes. Like thousands of miles far.
I'm planning another trip home later this year and gonna stock up on Trader Joes goodies and bring them back.

You need to check what you can bring into Ireland food-wise because there are food laws. If something you bring in is banned because it has additives which aren't allowed in the EU for example, it could be confiscated. Also, I don't rate your chances of getting a white powder through customs I have a cousin living in Ireland and they eat a lot of bread and potatoes over there.
I live in Dublin. As any Irish person will say "you'll be grand." All meat in Ireland is grass fed so don't worry about that. I would shop in Superquinn for the best meat though. If you tell the family you are staying with that you are allergic to grains you'll be safe from cereal, porridge, pasta and bread. You probably won't be able to avoid potatoes though, no excuse for not eating them. Depending on the family you will be served lots of jarred sauces but you could be lucky and get a family that loves cooking. Do you know where abouts in Dublin you are staying?
Nowadays, I expect it's like everywhere else in the Western world. Famous for strong porter-beer, though ... although that's hardly primal.

I should treat it as a holiday, not worry too much about what you're eating, and just have fun.
I second the above, a week or two is not going to hurt you to eat what your family provides. You can do your best to make better choices, limit wheat, try and eat more protein and veggies, but it's not going to hurt you if you eat what the locals eat. Don't be a pain and give Americans a bad image by being difficult with your host family. Perhaps use it as a learning opportunity to explain how you're trying to eat better that the typical American diet but are grateful for whatever they are able to provide and able to sample how another culture eats and share how you eat with them too.
When you're young, your body can handle all kinds of foods just fine. It's when you eat poorly for years and years ALL the time that it eventually catches up with you. You already know how to eat when you're in control of buying/making your own food. Don't sweat it when you can't all the time.
I have to agree with fuzzy logic.
When I'm overseas, I eat what I can find, what is served, and I don't worry a bit about my diet. It's a privilege to be able to travel, so stop obsessing and go enjoy yourself.

More than 700 challenge 'Beast' at Presque Isle
There are a lot of ways you can describe Joe Finotti's Saturday morning -- grueling, exhausting, cramp-inducing -- but relaxing wasn't the word for it.
His weekend started with a more than 15-mile run through the beaches of Presque Isle State Park. With the sand shifting and sliding beneath his feet, stubbornly refusing to give him any traction, his only breaks from the run came in the form of obstacles like climbing over an 8-foot-tall storage container and across cargo netting suspended in the air or crawling through 20 feet of pipe.
His rewards for finishing were a pair of cramped legs, a banana, a cold drink and license to brag about conquering the Beast on the Bay.
Finotti was one of about 740 people to take on the obstacle course Saturday morning, which served as a fundraiser for the Barber National Institute.
Moments after crossing the finish line, still dripping wet, he said he was paying the price for the run.
"I can't feel anything from my hips to my feet," he said.
Organizers from the Barber National Institute said they're still tallying how much money was raised by the event because of last-minute entries and cash donations made during the day. But John Barber, chief executive of the institute, said the event is already a success.
"This day has far exceeded my hopes and expectations," Barber said.
People lined up by obstacles like "Rocky Rampage" (a climb over a pile of stones) and "the Belly of the Beast" (20 feet of mud-filled piping).
Participants said the course's obstacles weren't as plentiful or as challenging as at some of the popular courses like Tough Mudders. But it wasn't the individual obstacles that made "the Beast" so uniquely challenging.
The course's biggest challenge -- the one that wouldn't stop no matter how much a runner's calves were burning -- was the beach sand that slipped and moved as they tried to build momentum.
"You can't underestimate how difficult it is to run on that sand," said Matt Oldach, who ran the full course with a group from GE Transportation.
Shaun Coletta, another participant from the GE group, said he did 12 weeks' worth of running on the beach leading up to the event.
People participating had the option of running the full course or as little as 4 miles. An adaptive course was also assembled for people with disabilities.
It included obstacles like the wall climb and a sand run of its own.
One of the adaptive course participants, 21-year-old James Myers, said he was proud to have beat "the Beast."
"I've never done anything like this before," Myers said. "I've been doing Special Olympics (to get ready)."
Myers completed the course with his sister, Katelynn Myers, 18.
About 85 people completed the adaptive course.
Barber expects three times as many participants for that course in 2014.
The popularity of both courses, along with the fact that organizers said they avoided any major injuries, is enough to declare the event a success. Barber hopes the "Beast on the Bay" becomes an Erie mainstay.
"As far as I'm concerned, we'll be doing this every year," he said.

The 25th-ranked Seawolves (7-2, 1-1 GNAC) also got 15 points and three assists from junior guard Kyle Fossman as they suffered their first Great Northwest Athletic Conference loss.
The Falcons (7-1, 2-0) had five players score double figures, led by Jobi Wall's 20 points, while junior point guard David Downs scored 13 points and dished 12 assists with just one turnover.
UAA rallied from a 30-19 first-half deficit to take the lead, 40-38, on a four-point play by Abebe Demissie with 17 minutes to play. The Seawolves went ahead 52-49 on a fast-break layup by Jalen Little with 8:49 left, but SPU center Andy Poling sank a hook shot 16 seconds later, followed by consecutive three-pointer from Wall and Patrick Simon (15 points).
The Seawolves crept back within 63-60 on a reverse layup from Stafford at the 4:27 mark before SPU used another 8-0 run to seal it. With the win, the Falcons snapped a seven-game losing streak in Anchorage, winning at the WFSC for the first time since Jan. 2007.
Junior guard Mike MacKelvie was the third Seawolf in double figures with 11 points, doing it on perfect shooting (3-3 FG, 5-5 FT). Meanwhile, junior guard Colton Lauwers added seven points and a team-high four assists without a turnover.
The Seawolves have two weeks off before returning to the WFSC for their final non-conference game, Dec. 15 against Northwest Indian College.

I was on the last stages of cruise on flight FCL1471 FAO-MAN. I was viewing the aircraft from the exterior (because I fancied the change) so I wasn't looking at the guages every 2 seconds like I usually do.
I started to think that the flight was taking longer than usual and then the aircraft entered a turn which I quickly checked and it was a routine turn during the cruise so I left the room to get a refil of water, I come back and the aircraft is now turning the other way, so I look at the guage and bang I am circling at FL300 over Manchester Airport. I quickly look at the kneeboard and there was no record of London Centre handing me over so I never even got a cancelled IFR. I had to contact MAN who vectored me in (I managed to do a good fast yet steady descent) and got on the ground safley after a go-around (because of a nasy crosswind element).
My point is, does anyone know why ATC didn't hand me over?
It's the first time I've never been handed over but I've had them put me on vectors and then forget about me

J.R.'s Comedy Club hosted its second annual Celebrity Golf Classic to benefit the Santa Clarita Homeless Shelter on Monday at Robinson Ranch Golf Course.
There was so much laughter after at the 2010 version, J.R.'s Comedy Club decided to do it again.
"We had a great time last year," said Randy Lubas, co-owner of J.R.'s Comedy Club.
Eager to make people laugh and raise money to support the Santa Clarita Homeless Shelter's campaign to become a year-round shelter, Lubas and his 17 fellow comedian friends told hundreds of jokes to the 70 attendees of the golf tournament Monday afternoon and the banquet that followed.
The shelter currently operates from Dec. 1 to March 31.
"It will take us about two years to operate a full-time shelter," Tim Davis, the shelter's executive director, said. "Plans are under way to do it."
Bruce Baum, from "America's Funniest People," was eager for the chance to help.
"As comics, we are fortunate to go all over the country and meet people from all walks of life," Baum said. "We believe, as most people do, everyone is entitled to a meal on the table and a roof over their head."
Fellow comedian Derrick Cameron said homelessness was a major issue for him.
"With all that is going on in the world, we need to remind ourselves that it's good for the soul to laugh," said Cameron, who has performed on "The Tonight Show" and "Comics Unleashed."
Carl Labove, one of the original "Outlaws of Comedy," also performed at the event.
"We all lived in our cars at one time or another," Labove said. "This is just a small way that we are paying it back, because we got lucky."
For Jimmy Shubert from "Comedy Central Presents," the current state of the economy drew him in.
"In this economy, I feel like I'm a pretty blessed guy," Shubert said. "You should give back as much as you can. We are using our talents to help people."
The comedians in attendance were Lubas, Baum, Hays, Cameron, Labove, Shubert, Jamie Alcroft, Nehl Bobal, Kenny Bob Davis, Mark Eddie, Dan Friesen, Brandon Gibson, Conrad Lawrence, Don McMillan, Lance Montalto, Jim O'Brien and Jimmy and Steve Smith.

Those are 10 yards Dorton never dreamed he'd be taking a few years ago for the Buffs. However, that short stroll is a sweet sight these days for Dorton and WT baseball coach Matt Vanderburg.
"You couldn't ask more from a kid," Vanderburg said. "You wish they were all like Eric. He never complains. He would run through a wall for you. He never says a word about anything."
And he hits like crazy.
Dorton will lead off the Buffs' four-game Lone Star Conference series against Cameron on Friday night at Wilder Park in Canyon owning the top batting average in the LSC at .465. In 43 official at bats, Dorton has 20 hits — seven for extra bases — and has scored a team-high 17 runs.
"I just try to get on base," Dorton said. "That way the bigger hitters can get me in and we can get runs in early in the game. I like leadoff. Typically, you will see more fastballs, and everybody likes to hit more fastballs."
Dorton's on-base percentage of .554 has helped set up the power hitters in the lineup and has Vanderburg bragging about his speedy outfielder.
"Eric is probably one of our most important guys," Vanderburg said. "What we want out of our leadoff is a guy setting the tempo for us. I'm not the type of guy who tells him to sit up there and take a lot of pitches. We are an aggressive team, and other teams need to know right away they better not make mistakes in the zone. Eric does a great job for us in that role."
Dorton wasn't destined to play for the Buffs.
As a multi-star athlete out of Alamogordo (N.M.) High School, he signed to play Division I baseball at the University of New Mexico. That lasted one year as Dorton's youth showed up.
"They wanted me to redshirt that first year, and I really didn't want to sit out," Dorton said. "So they released me."
Dorton said he spent a year playing at Eastern Arizona Junior College, "where we had a bad year. I thought I had no chance to move on."
Dorton's love of baseball led him to Lamar (Colo.) Junior College, where his life changed.
"The coach there at Lamar, Scott Crampton, was incredible," said Dorton. "After my experience at UNM, I lost my confidence. I should have expected to be redshirted, and I didn't. You can't really expect to go Division I and play right away.
"Coach Crampton got me back on the confidence side of things. He taught to me visualize. And then coming here to West Texas, that's been a blessing in disguise."
Vanderburg made the trip north to Lamar to watch Dorton play and was convinced that's who he wanted to pencil in at center field and lead off.
"We went up and watched him a couple of times and then proceeded to beg him to come here," Vanderburg said. "Like I said, you couldn't ask more from a kid. Great student in the classroom. Has never missed a day of weights or a day of anything. They don't get any better than that kid."
Dorton produced big numbers last year, starting 47 of 49 games and helping the Buffs to a 30-19 season, their best in three years under Vanderburg. He batted .405 and ranked third on the team in hits (64) and second in runs scored (53).
"Coming in, I didn't know how we'd be," Dorton said. "The year before they were 23-20. So I'm thinking about .500 club and hopefully this works out. It's worked out for the best. I couldn't be happier here."
Dorton is entrenched in the Buffs' lineup.
"I love defense," Dorton said. "If I miss a ball in the outfield I think I should have caught, it hurts me more than a bad at bat would. Making a big play, saving a few runs to help my team win, that's my goal."
Dorton shrugs off his hefty batting average — he didn't know his average or that he was leading the LSC in batting until a reporter told him.
"I don't think about (winning a batting title) at all," Dorton said. "All I care about is going out and helping us win games."
Vanderburg does have one mild complaint about Dorton.
"I guess if I had anything I'd like to see him change it would be to be more vocal," Vanderburg said. "But he's getting better at that."
Dorton agrees with his coach but said his silence is payback to the man he grew up idolizing.
"My dad (Scott) always told me to lead by example," Dorton said. "He was my hero growing up. So I'm not a big vocal person. I probably should be a little more vocal since I'm a senior. With me it's all a business on the field."
For two years, that's been a good thing for West Texas A&M baseball.

Cowen will remain as Taoiseach…
Harry McGee
… because all his rivals know they will meet a similar fate if they take over.
Unless Fianna Fail can do something similar in the next 12 months with the loaf of stale bread and the five rotting fishes that a fellow did 2,000 years ago, they are goners.
Damage limitation is the name of the game. Three terms for FF was one term too many. By rights, the scandal over Bertie Ahern's finances should have brought the Government down in 2007. But Fine Gael (and Enda Kenny) were too weak then to gain people's trust that the party could be trusted with the economy.
There's no percentage in it for Mícheál Martin or Dermot Ahern or Mary Hanafin. They take over Fianna Fail and lead the party to an inevitable defeat in the next election. One that will make Fine Gael's performance in 2002 look, to use Tiger Woods's favourite adjective, HUGE.
The only member of the Cabinet who is really untainted is Brian Lenihan who only became a full Minister in 2007 after being ignored by Ahern for years. However, his battle with illness make a leadership run unrealistic at this moment in time.
Cowen is a bit of an enigma. His public image and his communications skills are terrible (so much for the star debater). There is a game called BS Bingo that tracks the use of moronic business jargon in speeches. Cowen gets a full house everytime. Those who work closely with him say that he's hands on; that he's fully engaged with all issues, and is across every brief.
For all we know he could be performing miracles in the background as his aides claime. But nothing of that comes across, except for the once-a-year rousing speech to a chamber of commerce somewhere.
What comes across is caution, conservatism, indecisiveness, and wavering. His reshuffle last week was proof postive of that. But at the same time, if you were cynical about it, with everybody he might have dropped, he would have created a new enemy. His most bitter rivals now within his parliamentary party are junior ministers who were dropped.
Still, the larger criticism remains.
We've had three reports now on the Smart Economy, all of which have been launched with much fanfare. So where's the job strategy moving from here? You can't get it just from renaming bits of departments into 'innovation' and 'skills'. We need a coherent, spelled out, this-is-how-we-are-going-to-do-it jobs plans. And he needs to show that he is moving and shifting on it. NOW.
Everything Fianna Fail and the PDs stood for during the boom years has been discredited. It might have been a tiger economy for a couple of years, when exports were high. But for a decade it was a bubble economy, with cheap money, and cheap credit, and 'light touch' regulation fanning the flames.
We saw the same two traits and failures take hold among bankers that felled the Wall Street banks: irrational exeuberance and moral hazard, where the bigger your loan book, the bigger you bonus was.
That irrational exuberance gripped us all. We all became junkies. The Government and the banks were the dope peddlers. The big developers parading around in their private jets with the vulgar lifestyle provided the role models. And yes, the media bought it into it too – big time. Though we didn't describe it as greed gone to lunatic levels. We had a a more polite term for it… aspirational.
The strange thing is. The fiscal solution so far has been the best of a bad lot. It's the right solution. But you can't ignore the paradox that the surgeon that is carrying out the necessary and painful surgery looks exactly like the guy who inflicted the injury on you that necessitated the operation.
Or as Justin McCarthy, the political editor of Today FM, nicely put it several months ago. It's like returning home to fine your TV robbed. A couple of minutes later there's a knock on the door. There's a guy selling you a TV that looks suspiciously like the one that's been nicked. You stump up the money. Even though you don't like it, you don't have a choice. You need a TV.
It's caused a huge amount of anger among public sector employees. Their argument is that they didn't cause the crisis. That is true. Another argument is that there is a fair proportion of workers in the private sector who didn't have to take pay cuts. That is also true. And their sense of grievance is heightened by the fact that a small elite group at the top had their cuts reversed because a 'bonus' they got every year was a reward for showing up to work each day.
The cutbacks, through pension contributons and pay, have caused pain. I believe it was necessary. It would be impossible to target those who hadn't received cuts in the private sector without subjecting those who received cuts to greater pain. Besides, benchmarking had been very good to public servants over the past decade. People have quibbled with the ESRI reports but there is a preponderance of opinion that believes that public sector workers did have a premium.
Bertie Ahern and his Governments bought their way out of problems during the good times. When you begin to look at the kind of working arrangements that some sectors had, there were a lot of extras and little bonuses built in that made them look, well, a bit dodgy. The long list of bonuses (some of them completely unjustifiable) for the gardai was the most egregious. But when you have systemic unfairness coupled with ineffeciency in some cases (though not all) something has to give.
Sure, the pay increases hardly kept up with a burgeoning increase in the cost of living (especially on property, which went nuts). But once the bubble burst, the correction was always going to be painful. On balance, given the nightmare it was faced with, the Government hadn't a lot of wiggle room and made the argument (fiercely contested) that some of those who had done well out of the State over the ten years of the bubble should give a little back.
Of course, it was the developers and bankers who caused all of the problems. They are falling like skittles now.
Already there have been a couple of perp walks from bankers. Expect all the developers who featured in the social and business pages as the brains behind the Celtic Tiger, to feature in the NAMA write-down this week. This time though they should be mocked as the harmful dunces who brought us all to our knees.
And as for the politicians, I suspect that the public will see the next General Election as payback time. I think what will surprise people the most is the number of senior ministers who will lose their seats. My own guess is that over half the Cabinet won't survive.

Samsung 830 SATA3 SSD 256GB Review

I hope you're sitting down. In HD Tune Pro the Samsung 830 is nothing but spectacular. In read testing it's over 100MB/s faster than anything else on the graph.
It's not like this is a one off either as in write testing, whilst the Samsung 830 doesn't hold such a healthy lead as we see above, it nonetheless dominates.

Mitch Landrieu visits Opera House
By Howell Dennis
CROWLEY – Louisiana's Lieutenant Governor Mitch Landrieu made a stop at The Grand Opera House of the South Friday afternoon to answer a few questions from area businessmen, civic leaders, and politicians on a variety of subjects.
Landrieu began his session by calling Representative Jack Montoucet up to thank him for his hard work.
"Jack is about to go to one of the toughest legislative sessions we've had in years so I hope you appreciate the work he is about to put in for you," he said to the applause of those in attendance.
"I'd also like to commend L.J. (Gielen) for his work on renovating what I truly believe is not just a Louisiana but a national gem," said Landrieu in reference to the recent reopening of the Opera House.
"Also as I walked up I noticed that you have already begun to spend our stimulus money," he joked in reference to the Historic Downtown Restoration Project that has much of Parkerson Ave. under construction.
He then gave some members of the audience a chance to ask a few questions.
Many of the questions were in regard to the state's budget and in what area he saw cuts being made.
For example, Gielen asked about the budget of oil industry and Montoucet asked about the possible loss of some of the LSU AgCenters throughout the state.
"I've been in office through five governors and I've always had the same belief," Landrieu said. "When you grow you have to grow smart and when you cut you have to cut smart. I've always been a reformer and am constantly looking for a way to solve all problems. I believe that right now certain things are being put at risk that aren't necessary."
"As for the oil business," he continued. "They are doing well at the moment but they are nervous due to all the talk about alternative forms of energy."
One of the lighter moments of the meeting came when First National Bank's Sandy Melancon asked a question.
"There are seven states in the country that have an unemployment rate of over ten percent," said Melancon. "Where does Louisiana stand now and what areas of our state have the highest unemployment rate?"
"You used to be a school teacher didn't you?" he asked Melancon to the laughter of those in attendance. "But I'm going to pass your test, Louisiana has an unemployment rate of 5.6 percent and is seeing positive trends in most areas. For example the Shreveport/Bossier City and the Lafayette areas are just off the charts, as for areas which are hurting you do have areas such as Union Parish which just lost their bread factory where the unemployment rate has risen."
"How did I do on my test?" he asked Melancon to which she replied with a smile "you get an A plus."
Landrieu also was quick to mention that "the economy will come back. What I'd like to see happen is for people to quit crying about the stimulus money and just go get it."
Landrieu, who had to cut the meeting short due to scheduling issues, also touched on the possibility of the Saints leaving Louisiana.
"When Governor Edwin Edwards, who I'm sure you may have heard of around here, was in charge he always said that it would be a black eye on our state if the Saints were to leave," he said. "I have always thought that they are worth it. At the end of the day, they generate more money than it would cost to keep them. Not to mention that if they stay we may be in line to host a Super Bowl which would generate $400 million into our economy."

Kenneth Branagh, Embeth Davidtz, Daryl Hannah, Robert Duvall
Director Robert Altman does much more justice to the richly eccentric society of Savannah than Clint Eastwood did in his recent, logy Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil—and in much less time. Having said that, it's a shame that Altman didn't make Midnight rather than this noirish thriller that is heavy on atmosphere but light in logic.
Like Midnight, The Gingerbread Man is about a prominent, rich Savannahian, in this case a flashy criminal defense lawyer (Branagh) who shoots someone to death and then has differences with the authorities over the circumstances and motive. There's a mysterious woman involved, and a nasty hurricane is blowing into town fast. The hurricane is named Geraldo—you gotta love it. Unlike Midnight, Gingerbread Man is based not on a true story, but on an original tale by legal storymeister John Grisham.
Branagh, at least initially, seems to be doing a witty impression of President Clinton if Clinton had ended up as a glad-handing defense lawyer rather than a glad-handing politician. Hannah, nearly unrecognizably mousey in auburn hair and glasses, nicely underplays her role as Branagh's devoted legal partner. As the movie's femme fatale, Davidtz (Schindler's List), though good, fails to convince us that she's the kind of gal a man would kill for. (R)

Quoting lazyd:

She just dumped the guy this month some time because he was texting the woman that he loved her and would be with her forever.

West Springfield man pleads guilty to homicide by vehicle
A West Springfield man has pleaded guilty to charges from a September traffic accident in Springfield Township that killed a township resident.
Jacob N. Dudenhoefer, 23, pleaded guilty this morning to charges of homicide by vehicle while driving under the influence, driving under the influence while under suspension and driving under the influence, second offense. He faces a maximum penalty of 15 years, 90 days and $36,000 in fines when he is sentenced on April 30.
Fifteen other charges that state police filed against Dudenhoefer were withdrawn under an agreement with prosecutors that led to the plea.
Police said Dudenhoefer was driving under the influence of alcohol and marijuana when the 1999 Chevrolet Lumina he was driving at a high rate of speed rear-ended a 2001 Ford Ranger that was stopped on Route 20, west of Route 215, on the morning of Sept. 22. The driver of the Ford, 69-year-old Melvin Huyck Jr., was killed in the crash.

Shiro Games' Evoland comes to PCs today as a breath of fresh air. There are many attempts to be comical in the videogames industry, most of which fall into the realm of cheap giggles over gameplay, Evoland however places it's plentiful supply of in-jokes as it's core subject matter and builds a familiar gameplay experience around it. Somehow, it manages to pull this off and deliver an enjoyable retro adventure videogame chick full of nods-and-winks to experienced gamers.
The style of Evoland's introduction will be familiar to any gamer worth their salt: this top down adventure screams The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past. Though the visual quality is slightly inferior (a purposeful decision on behalf of Shiro Games) the camera, player movement, item collection, enemies and the world itself are all reminiscent of the Super Nintendo Entertainment System (SNES) classic. And thus we have our first source of humour too: we all know The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past, right? We all know that this is the videogame that defined adventure gaming on a generation of console hardware, and we all know the tropes and conventions it established. So let's pull them apart with a sly grin as we actually enjoy experiencing them all over again.
From this humble beginning, 'evolving' from Game Boy green-and-black to 16-bit, from restrictive block movement to overworld maps and from real-time combat to turn-based battles, Evoland plots the progression of adventure/role-playing games (RPGs) through the years. It's a tongue-in-cheek love letter to the genre, and one which any The Legend of Zelda or Final Fantasy fan will surely revel in. It borrows everyone one of its many mechanics and isn't ashamed of it; this is in fact Evoland's rasion d'etre.
New mechanics are typically introduced via unlocking treasure chests, a mechanic in itself that may sound as though it could get rather tiresome very quick. However, this isn't the case. Each new treasure chest coming into view has you wondering what move will come next: when will I meet a none-player character? When is that jump to 3D? When will I encounter a boss fight? Will I reach the HD era? Such anticipation is built so steadily that you can't help but feel disappointed when reaching a treasure chest and finding that it contains a new weapon or quest item.
The pace of Evoland is certainly quick; only an hour into the videogame you'll have had over thirty visual, aural and gameplay design improvements, constantly pulling you forward. It's a compelling experience as, despite the fact that some liberties have been taken for the sake of entertainment, you always know where Evoland is heading. You know what's coming next, even if you don't know when it's coming.
From a technical standpoint Evoland is rather hard to judge; many of its flaws are intentional and are soon eradicated but the next evolution. Instead, it's more appropriate to judge the videogame on its artistic merit: a presentation that is simply fantastic. At times comedic and at others heartwarming, Evoland is a videogame that is in no two minds about it's target audience, and it knows how they'll react to it's aesthetic and aural design as they have reacted this way over a thousand times before.
For fans of the adventure and RPG genres, Evoland is a near-essential purchase. From The Legend of Zelda to Final Fantasy, Secret of Mana to Breath of Fire and everything in between, Evoland lovingly references each and every one of the landmark titles offered since the 16-bit era in at least some small way. It's to those gamers that experienced all of these titles at the height of their popularity that Evoland is presented, and to those gamers it's a wonderfully light-hearted walk down memory lane.

Springsteen Plays Asbury Park
In case you've been living under a rock and haven't heard, Bruce Springsteen's "The Rising," his first album of entirely new material in seven years, written largely in response to the events of Sept. 11, hits record stores Tuesday. His 46-city tour with the E Street Band starts Aug. 7, but on Tuesday's "Today" show, Springsteen played to some 6.2 million fans by headlining a three-hour remote broadcast from the Boardwalk in the New Jersey rocker's beloved hometown of Asbury Park, according to calculations by the Associated Press. ("Today" host Matt Lauer, 44, did not appear in a Speedo as he covered the beachfront concert, despite an on-air promise to WNBC newscaster Jane Hanson on Monday.) On Thursday, Springsteen is due to tape the "Late Show with David Letterman," CBS said. (Dave, 55, isn't expected to wear a Speedo.) As for the album, two widows of men killed in the terrorist attacks told TIME magazine (which, like PEOPLE, is part of AOL Time Warner) that Springsteen, 52, contacted them to inquire about their husbands and their loss. "When you're putting yourself into shoes you haven't worn, you have to be very . . . just very thoughtful, is the way that I'd put it. Just thoughtful," Springsteen told the magazine. "You call on your craft, and you go searching for it, and hopefully what makes people listen is that over the years, you've been serious and honest."
