|Of Predators And Prey: Part 1
Dr. Psychobos is an evil psychotic scientist who invented the Nemetrix with the help of Malware. He is one of the four main antagonists in Ben 10: Omniverse along with Attea, Malware and Khyber. He becomes the secondary antagonist of Arc 3, serving the Incurseans. He is a cyborg Cerebrocrustacean from the planet Encephalonus IV.
Dr. Psychobos is shown to have great resent and jealousy for the Galvan, especially Azmuth, believing that they have a superiority complex, and that they are only considered smart because of "persistently pervasive dumb luck". He is highly narcissistic and constantly brags about his species' superior intellect, and brags rather persistently about his own. He has shown to have considerable distrust for Khyber, as well as a slight apprehension of Malware. He also displays mild impatience for his partner's arguments, and will do the job himself if he doesn't get what he wants. His goal is to eliminate Azmuth and prove that the Cerebrocrustaceans are superior to the Galvan, and doesn't see Ben as much of a threat. Dr. Psychobos would probably say that he is the smartest member of the Cerebrocrustacean race.[1]
When working for Princess Attea, Dr. Psychobos has a clear dislike for her due to her bratty, vulgar and impatient attitude when she's around, making several sarcastic remarks to her, and even at one point trying to kill her with an electrified blade/wrench-like tool, only to have it be swatted out of his claw, prompting him to snivelingly beg for forgiveness.
Dr. Psychobos has a persistent stutter, often ends his sentences with "and I use the term loosely.", and gets angry when not addressed as Dr. Psychobos.
In While You Were Away, it appeared that Dr. Psychobos believes that a hatred for the Galvan is common, as Rook's hypnotized family members berated the Galvan while under his control, even though Ben and Rook were right in front of them.
Being a Cerebrocrustacean, Dr. Psychobos is crab-like in appearance with a somewhat robotic torso, unlike other Cerebrocrustaceans as he is cybernetically enhanced. He is noticeably stubbier than other Cerebrocrustaceans, and his head seems particularly massive. His right claw is very small, while his left is very large and spiney, causing him to resemble a fiddler crab. His carapace is purple, and is lighter-colored on his lower face and body. His eyes are pink, and he has large white-blue eyebrows and a long white-blue mustache. He has an odd symbol on his forehead, and has three upright spikes on either side of his head. He also has a trident shaped machine on his brain visable when he opens his casing.
Powers and Abilities
Like all Cerebrocrustaceans, Dr. Psychobos has electrokinesis and has a very enhanced intellect.
By using his electrokinesis, Dr. Psychobos can fire electricity from the symbol on his head.
Dr. Psychobos's enhanced intellect makes him speak in a higher diction like all Cerebrocrustaceans.
Using his enhanced intellect, Dr. Psychobos was able to recreate the prototype Omnitrix the Nemetrix and add the DNA of alien species' predators.
Dr. Psychobos has built a machine and put it on his brain to increase his electrokinesis.
Using his electrokinesis, Dr. Psychobos can use telekinesis.
As shown in The Frogs Of War: Part 2, if Dr. Psychobos is attacked on his head while using his electrokinesis, he will be damaged and temporarily cannot use his electric powers.
Dr. Psychobos approached the mutant Galvanic Mechamorph Malware with an offer to make him a superior Omnitrix if he could bring him the Omnitrix as a start.
Malware made good on their deal, eventually bringing Dr. Psychobos a crude, corrupted and incomplete blueprint of the Original Omnitrix, but lacking the DNA samples that gave it its power.
From the template Malware provided, Dr. Psychobos created the Nemetrix and hired Khyber to collect DNA samples of the most savage of the universe's predators.
Once that was done, the next phase was to test it, collecting prisoners from the Null Void, such as Phil, to serve as guinea pigs. During this time, the trio learned that only a non-sapient creature can safely use the device, ultimately attaching it to Zed. Khyber subsequently spent the next five years studying Ben to hunt him and acquire the Omnitrix for his business partners, for which Dr. Psychobos grew greatly annoyed.
Both Khyber and Malware failing to get the Omnitrix and needing one of its stabilizers for the Nemetrix, Dr. Psychobos attacked Plumber's HQ with several of his machines, he was able to disable most of the bases defense and communication systems and took the stabilizer he needed, not finishing off Ben Tennyson or taking the Omnitrix because he wanted to prove that his Nemetrix is superior to the Omnitrix and sees Azmuth as his real enemy.
Dr. Psychobos subsequently used security codes stolen by Malware and Khyber to infiltrate Galvan Mark II and lured Azmuth into a museum where they trapped him inside with the Galvan's revived natural predator, Zed as an Omnivoracious. Azmuth teleported in Rook and Humungousaur once having Zed's weaknesses fashioned a whistle.
Using Zed, Azmuth subdued Psychobos with the Cerebrocrustacean's natural predator, a Vicetopus, receiving no aid from Khyber as he felt that the "greatest intellect in the universe" could outwit his mindless natural predator. Dr. Psychobos was taken into the custody by the Galvan military, uselessly telling them to release their "intellectual superior" to which they simply called him dummie.
Eventually Princess Attea and the Incurseans free Dr. Psychobos and bring him to Revonnah, where they obtained a lot of Amber Ogia by constructing a pipeline to Dr. Psychobos and Attea's lair, where Dr. Psychobos experimented on the Amber Ogia, creating a concentrate allowing him to control people's minds. Soon, almost every Revonnahgander, including most of Rook's family, acted like Dr. Psychobos, with his stutter, his catchphrase, and his hatred for Galvans. Ben and Rook defeated Dr. Psychobos and Attea by destroying most of the mind control juice. Attea and Dr. Psychobos later escaped, and Attea planned to use the remaining of Dr. Psychobos' mind-control juice as they set course for Earth.
With the mind control serum he developed, Dr. Psychobos also provided the Incurseans with feral genetically altered To'kustars called Way Bads as their enforcers during their occupation of Earth as seen in the two-part episode "The Frogs of War." In the end, Dr. Psychobos' control over the Way Bads is negated as the Way Bads are sent into the Null Void by Rook, Blukic, and Driba. Emperor Milleous and Dr. Psychobos were arrested and taken into Plumber custody.

- According to Derrick J. Wyatt:
- Dr. Psychobos is not a typical Cerebrocrustacean, but a mutated one.[2]
- Dr. Psychobos considers himself and Azmuth to be rivals, but Azmuth doesn't care at all.[3] Azmuth himself even states this, saying such a rivalry is a waste of time, energy and resources in Showdown: Part 1.
- Dr. Psychobos has a stuttered speech.
- Dr. Psychobos catchphrase is "...and I use the/that term loosely."
- According to Derrick J. Wyatt, this phrase was originally only used once in the script. It was when Eric Bauza started putting it in inappropriate places that they decided to make it his catchphrase. [4]

Arkansas agriculture officials say Tropical Storm Isaac would bring welcome rain to the state, but producers are worried about the stormy conditions that would accompany the precipitation.
Pope County Extension Agent Phil Sims said Monday that ranchers in particular are eager for the 2 to 5 inches of rain the storm is forecast to drop over Arkansas. Cattle producers have been hit hard by the drought and many were forced to sell all or part of their herds early.
Corn and rice producers are concerned that storm winds could flatten fields that are ready for harvest.
Cotton producers are being advised to delay defoliation until after Isaac has passed.
Isaac is projected to move over the state Thursday and Friday, though the forecast could change.

Develops the theory of jet single–time Lagrangegeometry and presents modern–day applications
Jet Single–Time Lagrange Geometry and Its Applications guides readers through the advantages of jet single–time Lagrange geometry for geometrical modeling. With comprehensive chapters that outline topics ranging in complexity from basic to advanced, the book explores current and emerging applications across a broad range of fields, including mathematics, theoretical and atmospheric physics, economics, and theoretical biology.
The authors begin by presenting basic theoretical concepts that serve as the foundationfor understanding how and why the discussed theory works. Subsequent chapters compare the geometrical and physical aspects of jet relativistic time–dependent Lagrange geometry to the classical time–dependent Lagrange geometry. A collection of jet geometrical objects are also examined such as d–tensors, relativistic time–dependent semisprays, harmonic curves, and nonlinear connections. Numerous applications, including the gravitational theory based on both the Berwald–Moór metric and the Chernov metric, are also presented.
Throughout the book, the authors offer numerous examples that illustrate how the theory is put into practice, and they also present numerous applications in which the solutions of first–order ordinary differential equation systems are regarded as harmonic curves on 1–jet spaces. In addition, numerous opportunities are provided for readers to gain skill in applying jet single–time Lagrange geometry to solve a wide range of problems.
Extensively classroom–tested to ensure an accessible presentation, Jet Single–Time Lagrange Geometry and Its Applications is an excellent book for courses on differential geometry, relativity theory, and mathematical models at the graduate level. The book also serves as an excellent reference for researchers, professionals, and academics in physics, biology, mathematics, and economics who would like to learn more about model–providing geometric structures.

San Francisco Bay Brand Brine Shrimp Hatchery Tips
Freshly hatched brine shrimp eggs are one of the best foods available for fish fry, reef tanks and small aquatic organisms because they provide proteins and fatty acids which accelerate growth and increase survival. As you will soon discover, nothing stimulates the appetite of baby fish like baby brine shrimp!
Some tips before you start:
Use a cone!
A cone or funnel shaped container is by far the best design for a brine shrimp hatchery. Glass juice containers and other household containers may work, but they aren't nearly as convenient or as effective as the hatcheries available at your local pet shop or aquarium. For best results use the San Francisco Bay Brand Hatchery™ which uses an inverted one liter or larger soft drink plastic container. Although this is not exactly funnel shaped it does taper towards the bottom and provides many of the benefits of a funnel shape. Just make sure that the material that the container was made of is totally inert so as not to affect the hatching process. If the bottom of your hatchery is funnel shaped, the hatching process itself is enhanced and it will be easier to collect the nauplii once they hatch.
Keep it clean!
The cleaner you keep your hatchery the more likely your hatch will be successful, time and again. After each use, scrub your hatchery with a coarse nylon sponge and dilute household bleach. Don't forget to rinse it with plenty of tap water.
Don't over hatch
Avoid the temptation to over hatch. In fact, you should never hatch more than 2.5 grams of eggs per liter of water. By using fewer eggs, a greater percentage of the eggs hatch which means you get more baby brine shrimp for your dollar.
Watch the temperature!
The rate of hatching brine is very sensitive to temperature. Most of your eggs should hatch in 24 hours if the temperature is roughly 82°F (28°C). If the temperature is only 70°F (21°C), you might have to wait up to 36 hours to get a good hatch. By increasing the temperature, you increase the rate of hatching. But be careful. As the temperature exceeds 86°F (30°C), you become more likely to loose the whole Hatch. Be safe- hatch between 82°-86°F (28°-30°C)!
Salinity and pH
Like Temperature the rate of hatching also depends on salinity and PH. The less salt in the water, the easier it is for brine shrimp to absorb enough water to burst through their protective shell. But, specific gravity should be at least 1.011 (15ppt) and can be as high as 1.030 (40ppt). This means that if you're Hatching in 1 quart, or liter, of ordinary tap water you should add somewhere between 1/2 and 2 level tablespoons of salt. The pH of the water should also be between 8.0 and 8.5. If your pH is below 8.0 your hatch rate will drop dramatically.
Air and Lighting
A continual source of aeration and good illumination increases the rate of hatching. Fluorescent lamps are best for the light source, but any 60-100 watt bulb placed a few inches from your hatch cone will work fine. Be cautious of any source of light, which might overheat your hatchery!
For best results use a San Francisco Bay Brand Hatchery or Shrimpery and San Francisco Bay Brand Hatch Mix or Eggs.
4 easy steps to hatching:
As we noted earlier San Francisco Bay Brand offers a Hatchery and Shrimpery which contain everything except the air pump (only the Hatchery requires an air pump) and water that you need. But if you want the challenge of putting together the material yourself, this is your parts list:
San Francisco Bay Brand Brine Shrimp Eggs
Hatch cone
Aquarium rock salt
Small air pump
Baking soda
Shrimp net
Epson salt
60-100 watt lamp
Step 1: Hydrate
Set up your hatchery in a room that is between 70-86° F (21-30°C).
Position your source of light about 8 inches from your hatch cone
Fill the hatchery with 1 liter (about 1 quart) of tap water (or salt water if it's readily available).
Place an airline inside the cone so that the opening nearly touches the bottom. Connect the other end to a small aquarium air pump. Adjust the airflow until you get a steady stream of bubbles that start at the very bottom and rise to the top.
Add 1 teaspoon of eggs (or the entire contents of one Hatch Mix packet.
Allow the eggs to soak up water (hydrate) for one hour before proceeding.
Step 2: Incubate
Continue to aerate and illuminate the hatchery.
Your finger or a spoon to push the ring of eggs (which tend to collect at the surface) back into the water.
Add salts:
Skip this step if:
You are using our Hatch Mix Packets. The Hatch Mix contains all necessary salts.
Or, if you used salt water instead of tap water in step 3, above.
Add 2 tablespoons of rock salt (non iodized salt) and ¼ teaspoon of Epson salt.
Or, add 2 tablespoons of any commercially available artificial seawater mix.
Add ¼ teaspoon baking soda, unless you are sure the PH is greater than 8.0.
Allow the eggs to incubate for 24 to 48 hours.
Step 3: Harvest and Feed Your Fish
Disconnect the airline at the end connected to the pump and move your light to the bottom of the cone. Brine shrimp nauplii are phototactic and will be attracted and will be attracted towards the light source.
Wait 5 to 10 minutes for the baby brine shrimp to swim to the bottom.
Using the airline, siphon only the orange colored baby brine shrimp from the bottom of the cone into your shrimp net. Do not siphon the hatched shells which float at the surface.
Quickly and gently rinse the baby brine shrimp with tap water at your sink.
Feed each aquarium on as much as your fish can consume in a couple hours.
Step 4: Clean-Up
Scrub the cone with a sponge and diluted household bleach.
Rinse it well!
Tightly seal opened egg container to prevent moist air from coming in contact with the eggs and store in your refrigerator until you are ready to hatch again.

With only weeks until the preseason begins, the Cincinnati Bengals and the rest of the NFL will have to start making their final cuts for the 53-man roster. For the most part, we can anticipate who will make up 95 percent of the team.
Then there's the other five or six slots that are always up for debate. Those spots are occasionally filled with veteran journeymen, career backups, or the undrafted rookie whom, every now and then, makes a huge impact.
Such could be the case in the Queen City this season. There are approximately five slots that could supply some surprise in 2013.

LONDON (Standard & Poor's CreditWire) July 16, 1999--Standard & Poor's today assigned its single-'A'-plus long-term and 'A-1' short-term counterparty credit ratings to The Development Bank of Singapore Ltd. (DBS Bank). The outlook is stable. DBS Bank is characterized by a very strong domestic franchise, and sound funding, liquidity, capitalization, and underlying operating profitability. The government's 42% indirect ownership in DBS Bank is seen as neutral to slightly positive. Recent acquisitions, however, have increased the bank's exposure to weaker regional economies--resulting in rapid balance-sheet growth, and weakened asset quality and after-tax profitability. DBS Bank is Singapore's largest domestic bank, with a leading market share of loans and deposits, a strong retail-funding base, and a sound capital position. The bank's capital adequacy...

GREEN BAY, Wis. — Rookie quarterback Brandon Weeden showed improvement in his second preseason game, avoiding major mistakes as the Cleveland Browns beat the Green Bay Packers, 35-10, on Thursday night at Lambeau Field.
Aaron Rodgers looked sharp in limited action, but backup quarterback Graham Harrell was shaky for the Packers.
Weeden, a first-round pick out of Oklahoma State who already has been chosen the Browns' starter, played the first half and was 12 of 20 for 118 yards.
Browns kicker Phil Dawson hit three field goals, including a pair from 50-plus yards. Dawson missed a 56-yarder just before halftime for Cleveland (No. 30 in the AP Pro32).
Rodgers threw a 20-yard touchdown to Jordy Nelson on his first series for the Packers (No. 1).
"Just taking a shot in a one-on-one matchup," Rodgers said, in comments distributed by the team at halftime. "Jordy consistently wins those. A good corner, the throw was a little bit lower than I wanted, but Jordy made an incredible catch."
The reigning NFL MVP stayed in for two more series, completing 6 of 11 passes for 59 yards. He also had a 21-yard scramble and took a hard hit on another rushing attempt.
Harrell took over early in the second quarter and struggled, completing 12 of 24 passes for 100 yards with two interceptions. Harrell, the Packers' No. 3 quarterback last year, is trying to prove he can become Rodgers' primary backup after Matt Flynn signed with Seattle in the offseason.
■ Bengals 24, Falcons 19: In Atlanta, Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Andy Dalton and Atlanta Falcons QB Matt Ryan each directed a pair of scoring drives before Cincinnati's reserves held on for a preseason victory.
In a matchup of teams that lost in the wild-card round of the playoffs last season, Cincinnati (No. 14 in the AP Pro32) had the deeper roster.
The second- and third-string players for Atlanta (No. 13) struggled in the second half for the second straight week.
Ryan, who completed his first 11 attempts, finished 18 of 21 for 174 yards and one touchdown, a 2-yard screen to reserve fullback Lousaka Polite in the second quarter.
Spreading out the offense and connecting with nine different receivers, Ryan completed passes of at least 20 yards to Roddy White, Tony Gonzalez, Julio Jones and Michael Palmer.
Dalton was 8 of 14 for 125 yards and one TD, a 50-yard pass that star receiver A.J. Green caught while running past cornerback Asante Samuel down the right sideline.

Traveling in the direction of the Lukmanier Pass (Valle Santa Maria), one reaches the Eco Center in a park-like natural landscape in Acquacalda. A pension (Bed&Breakfast accommodation) and a restaurant are also found here. To the East is the steep Adula Massif with the Rheinwaldhorn, the highest mountain in the region.
Olivone, located on the pass, experienced its heyday in the High Middle Ages, when the Lukmanier Pass was an important arterial road and trade route. Stately mansions and wooden farmsteads with stone-built kitchens form the panorama of the village. The Ca da Rivöi Museum exhibits statues, paintings and artifacts from the valley's religious life. The small dairy farm Caseificio Töira offers fresh dairy products.
The attractive Campo Blenio has eight kilometers of ski runs and is supremely suitable for families and snowboard novices. Winter hikers find a variety of walking and snowshoe paths, Nordic skiers prefer the cross-country trails extending over 30 kilometers in Campra, on the Lukmanier pass road. Besides group accommodation, the Nordic Center offers a restaurant as well as changing rooms, ski waxing service, a fitness room, an ice rink and a rental station for sports equipment.

Levy: It's Murder
Police Find Missing Intern Chandra Levy's Remains and Call the Case a Homicide. Now, Can They Nab Her Killer?
What is known about how she died?
Not much. The appearance of the bones seems consistent with skeletal remains left out for 13 months. D.C. Medical Examiner Arden indicated he did not find conclusive evidence that she had been shot, beaten, stabbed or strangled, all of which often leave detectable damage. One problem is that Levy's neck cartilage, which could show whether she was strangled, had already disintegrated. A knotted leotard or pair of running tights probably belonging to Levy was reportedly found near her remains, suggesting that she had been tied up. It is also possible that the garment could have been used to strangle her.
How is it that police who searched Rock Creek Park at least three times last year failed to find her body?
D.C. police acknowledge they simply missed the area where the bones, which had not been buried, were found. By and large their search extended 100 yards from paths and roads. Granted, the park is large—twice the size of New York City's Central Park—and heavily wooded. But assuming that Levy's body was there to be located at the time, it was a critical lapse. Had the remains been discovered earlier, with tissue intact, they could have yielded a trove of leads.
Do investigators have any idea why Levy might have been in Rock Creek Park?
She worked out regularly, and her body was found near a path some-times used by joggers, so it may be that she was simply out for a run. Friends, however, say that Levy customarily ran on the treadmill at her health club, not outdoors. Also, the crime scene is four miles from Levy's apartment. Former FBI profiler Clint Van Zandt points out that an eight-mile round trip is a long haul, even for someone as fit as Levy—unless of course she was murdered elsewhere and brought to that spot. Last week Arden said he couldn't tell if her body had been dumped there.
In an examination of Levy's laptop, investigators discovered that on the last day she was known to be alive, May 1, she or someone who logged on as her, got information from the Internet about Rock Creek Park. Contrary to some reports, however, police say she was not necessarily looking up anything specific about the Klingle Mansion, a photo of which adorns Rock Creek Park's homepage. That takes some air out of the speculation that Levy was headed for the mansion, which is two miles from where her body was found—and that she was possibly lured there by her killer. Deputy Police Chief Terrance Gainer says investigators will now quiz cab drivers to see if any remember bringing Levy to the park.
Where does all of this leave Gary Condit?
He has not been named as a suspect. There seems to be no hard evidence linking him to Levy's disappearance, much less her murder. That does not mean Condit, 54, is in the clear. It is still an open question whether his account of his whereabouts on May 1 is airtight. Condit, who didn't admit to detectives that he and Levy were having an affair until his third interview with them, has spoken of having an appointment with a chiropractor that evening but hasn't publicly disclosed the name. When asked about it recently, Condit's lawyer Mark Geragos declined to provide the name on the grounds that it was part of grand jury evidence. The grand jury in question, located in D.C., is considering obstruction-of-justice charges against Condit for allegedly pressuring another mistress to deny any romantic involvement with him.
Are there any prime suspects in the case?
Police are taking a look at Ingmar Guandique, a 20-year-old Salvadoran immigrant who is already serving time in a federal prison in North Carolina for attacking two women in Rock Creek Park last year. In the assaults—one of which took place about two weeks after Levy's disappearance, the other two months later—Guandique used a knife to threaten his victims, both of whom escaped unharmed. Right now, though, authorities do not regard him as a high-priority suspect, although they haven't said exactly why.
What about talk of the so-called Dupont Circle serial killer, who may have claimed two victims?
In fact, only one of the deaths, that of Christine Mirzayan, 28, who was found sexually assaulted and murdered in 1998, is classified as a homicide. The other victim, Joyce Chiang, also 28, disappeared in 1999. Her body washed up in the Potomac River months later but was so badly decomposed that no cause of death could be determined. Neither case has been solved. Although her family strongly believes that Chiang was murdered, some D.C. detectives have speculated that she may have been a suicide.
How is the Levy family holding up?
For months Chandra's parents, Bob, 56, a doctor, and Susan, 55, an artist, held out hope, while acknowledging that the chances of their daughter being found alive were slim. Even so, the discovery of her remains has been a terrible shock to them as well as to Chandra's younger brother Adam. "Bob and Susan are devastated," says their close friend Joanne Tittle. "Chandra was a beautiful human being, inside and out. And you know what they found? Bones, red jogging bra, tennis shoes—that's what's left of this girl. Bob and Sue are angry."

If planning a last minute holiday or thinking about next year's holiday, make sure you consider what travel insurance cover you need should your operator go out of business.
The Department of Transport is urging travellers to check the holiday protection they need.
There are some 30 million holiday flights from the UK each year and the vast majority of these run smoothly but as with the recent failure of Kiss Flights, on occasion a travel company fails. When this happens travellers need to make sure they are protected.
As Aviation Minister Theresa Villiers comments "Today's holiday market works in such a variety of ways, it can be very difficult to know whether and how your trip might be covered."
The Government is actively considering how to ensure the ATOL holiday protection scheme remains relevant to today's travel market and expects to outline its decision soon.
Under the ATOL scheme, travellers who book package holidays are entitled to a refund if they have not already travelled, or are brought home free of charge if abroad at the time of insolvency.
Those who are not ATOL-protected can take other steps to help protect their trips, such as taking out specific travel insurance or booking with a credit card.
These options are all explained on the DirectGov website.
If you do take out insurance, it's important to understand what travel insurance cover you are buying and not just consider that the cheapest policy is necessarily the best to meet your needs.

A blaze blamed on children playing with a lighter caused $25,000 damage Saturday to an apartment building in the Sheridan Parkside neighborhood in the Town of Tonawanda, police reported.
The fire started in the bedroom of one unit in a six-unit, two-story apartment building at 46 Pyle Court, part of the housing development in the town that dates to World War II and is bordered by the Sheridan Park Golf Course, Ensminger and Military roads and Sheridan Drive.
The fire was reported at 9:02 a.m. and was under control by 9:22, and damage was largely confined to the one unit, according to Town of Tonawanda police. No injuries were reported, but the Red Cross was assisting an unknown number of evacuated residents, and a town building inspector was called to the scene. The damage was listed as $15,000 to the structure and $10,000 to the contents.

Il pirata, one of Bellini's less frequently staged works, poses a veritable challenge to sopranos and tenors on account of its tremendously difficult arias. Few artists have the courage to tackle the score, which is reserved to the very finest voices.
This Romantic opera is as impregnated with passion as Bellini's personal life. It tells of lovers facing the direst of predicaments and threatened by the implacable rigour of fate. The soprano is given one of the celebrated "mad scenes" found in all the great operas of the period. Il pirata, commissioned by La Scala, earned Bellini the first great triumph of his career. It also consolidated his partnership with the librettist Felice Romani and enabled him to make firm progress towards a personal musical style in which enchanting melodies would be the prime ingredient. Il pirata has been staged only once before at the Liceu, in the 1970-71 season, with Montserrat Caballé, Bernabé Martí and Vicenç Sardinero in the leading roles.
Opera in two acts. Libretto by Felice Romani based on the tragedy Bertram or The Castle of St Aldobrand by the Rev. R. C. Maturin.
Music by Vincenzo Bellini. First performed on 27 October 1827 at the Teatro alla Scala in Milan. Barcelona premiere at the Teatre de la Santa Creu on 21 September 1830. First staged at the Gran Teatre del Liceu on 1 January 1971.

For some reason, the above ad of Aussie surfer Stephanie Gilmore is being portrayed as scandalous.
I can't figure out why.
Roxy is a women's clothing company. Ads for women's clothing always show attractive women with nice bodies. They could show fat, out-of-shape women. But then no one would buy the clothes.
The Fox Commentator in the article linked above had this to say:
From Kournikova to Serena Williams to Lindsey Vonn to Lolo Jones, attractive female athletes tend to get judged from both sides — the men who objectify their bodies and the women who criticize them for using that objectification to their advantage.
It can't be a comfortable place to be, and Gilmore is the latest to go there.
Facebook commenters saw the ad as "stupid" and "sexist" and threatened to boycott.
I can't stand lazy writers who repeat jargon. Does this guy know what it means to "objectify" someone's body? I doubt it. I doubt anyone does. It's just a cliche from the early days of feminism. Or should I say the late days of puritanism? Sometimes it's hard to tell the two apart.
What he means to say is that her body is sexy and men will lust over it. So what? If any women want to lust over my body, feel free. My feelings won't be hurt. A few years ago I had just gotten out of the water and was walking up the beach when a couple of bennie women carrying drinks hooted at me. I didn't feel hurt. I felt pretty good for a guy in his 50s.
When it comes to women, though, it seems, they can't look sexy without getting a lecture from those nouveau-puritans known as feminists. Apparently not all the puritans left England in the 1600s. In this column in the Guardian of London, we see the puritanical urge in undilute form:
Surf company Roxy's latest ad is getting attention for all the wrong reasons. It's a short promotional trailer advertising the Roxy Pro in Biarritz, an upcoming contest part of the Women's World Championship Tour of Surfing. The problem? Not a single wave is ridden – but it sure shows a lot of behind. The backlash has been steadily building since its release, with many declaring it lazy and offensive to female surfers.
The ad begins in a bedroom, where an underwear-clad female form with long blonde hair undresses, showers, and heads out to the beach. There are some "artful" ass shots, followed by more ass shots – as one writer counted, 12 butt shots in one minute and 46 seconds exactly.
Twelve butt shots? I guess this writer has never been to Biarritz. If she'd gone, she wouldn't be asking why there were so many butt shots. She'd be asking why there were no boob shots. Women on Biarritz beaches go topless all the time. This stuff is mild by comparison.
I was one of the first Americans to surfer there, way back in 1974. I haven't been back since, but this ad certainly brings back fond memories of France. Unlike the Brits and the Yanks, the French have an aesthetic sense. The point of beauty is that it's beautiful. That's all there is to it for them.
That works for me as well. The entire point of surfing is to have fun. Puritans need not apply.
On a more important note, my vacation is coming to an end but I got to surf pretty much every day for the past two weeks. I can confirm from firsthand knowledge what this story on the Friday Star-Ledger front page says: The ocean sure is cold. Persistent south winds have been causing what is known as an "upwelling." That's when cold water from the ocean bottom rises to displace warm water.
The day before yesterday was typical. When I showed up to check the surf, I saw the water had a telltale brownish color to it. That's a sure sign of upwelling.
Sure enough, when I jumped in I found that I should have worn a full wetsuit. That's rare for this late in July. Usually we're in shorties by now.
The last really warm water we've had was back in September. Even mid-October was warmer than now. Then Sandy hit and it was like someone flipped a switch in the sky. Five days later we had a blizzard. That was followed by a long, cold, dark winter.
So we're ready for some warm water on our beaches. If there are any hot bodies to be seen, we'll enjoy that as well. The Jersey summer's too short for puritanism, We have all winter to suffer.

Hurricanes Finally See a Positive Future
College football season far from starting up but that doesn't mean it's quiet in practice facilities and locker rooms across the country. Spring practice is in full swing but there seems to be something odd about the environment at Miami. It's seems too quiet and normal in Coral Gables, FL. There are no current investigations, no recruiting dilemmas, and no speculation about head coach Al Golden?s future.
So, have the Hurricanes finally got their ducks in the a row? Fifth-year senior Ryan Williams has secured the starting QB job, even though some anticipated a quarterback competition. But, you won't find a controversy here.
Miami has completed half of spring practices drama free.?According to ESPN, when Golden was asked about the calmness that has settled over his football program, he smiled and put his arms in the air, like he had just won a big game.
"It?s been just so much fun just coaching football. It?s almost like a foundation?s in place. They know what the standards are. They?re doing all the little things you need to do, so it?s been good. It?s been a lot of fun. Some guys have stepped up and that?s helped us improve our team. I?m excited about where we are."
With the official end of the NCAA's investigation into the program last October, everybody can finally move forward and it shows on the field. Progress is already being made and it started last season when the Hurricanes jumped to a 7-0 start and a No. 7 ranking. Still, Miami finished 9-4, which is their best record since 2009.
But, obviously, the hard work is far from over. Miami is still slightly below the scholarship limit because of the NCAA sanctions and depth is not where the staff wants it to be. They also don't want to forget about the defense, which ranked among the worst in the ACC. Golden got a lot of backlash during the offseason for retaining defensive coordinator Mark D?Onofrio from a fan base looking for an easy "scapegoat."
The Hurricanes now have an upgraded defense that will take the field in 2014. They are more experienced and more talented, so improvement is expected.
Golden believes his team will play together and he told ESPN that he expects them to be more cohesive next season.
"We?re not where we want to be. We?re not. The players know that. We?re going to keep moving it forward. We haven?t had one cycle that?s been a normal recruiting cycle, so for all the things that we?re not right now, I?m not going to make excuses for what these guys have achieved during a very difficult time, almost an impossible time."
Offensively, the Hurricanes are greeted with the task of breaking in a new starting quarterback. There was an anticipated intense competition between fifth-year senior?Ryan Williams?and redshirt freshman?Kevin Olsen?for the starting job, but Williams has set himself apart as the front-runner this spring.
Williams spent the past two seasons backing up?Stephen Morris so he's ready for his starting role. He has both immense experience and maturity. Golden says that so far this spring, Williams is completing about 70 percent of his passes.
Williams seems to be very excited about the upcoming season and it seems the whole team feels the same way. With the newfound calmness, the Canes can finally get back to focusing on football.

Dave Richards: Hooper's wit always a hit at Jr.'s
When she needs material for her stand-up act, Maryellen Hooper doesn't need to do research, soak up pop culture or stay up on current events.
She just needs to keep her eyes and ears open at home, where she's raising two boys, not counting her husband.
"My youngest announced at the dinner table last week that he's going to marry his brother, but he was going to wear the man costume and the other son would wear the girl's costume," Hooper said by phone.
No need to stockpile jokes with material like that.
"It kind of just writes itself," Hooper said.
It helps that she's an accomplished professional who knows how to make the most of rich material. Her timing is impeccable, and her rubbery, expressive face accentuates the comedy. She's a physical, yet sharp comedian who operates with grace under pressure.
Nothing fazes her, whether it's a drunk in the crowd or her 9-year-old's sudden interest in the birds and the bees, which reared its head at Repitcon -- the Comic-Con of the reptile world.
"There was a wolf dog there and my son wanted to know, 'How do you get a wolf dog?'" Hooper said.
At times like that, her husband abandons ship.
"He kind of gets a glassed-over look and excuses himself from the table," Hooper said. "When that happens, luckily for me, all my years of ad-libbing on stage come in handy.
"My husband will turn to me and say, 'How did you think of that?' 'Drunk guy in Erie, 1997. That's how!'"
Hooper usually performs in theaters. She's an upper-echelon comic with a strong resume ("Tonight Show," Comedy Central, etc.) Yet, she makes room for Jr.'s Last Laugh on her schedule.
"It's one of my favorite clubs," she said. "This is one of the few clubs I still do. I love Erie, and I love the owners of the club. We always go yard saling together."
That's one reason she only visits during summer.
"No way am I going there in the winter. I don't know why people live there," Hooper said.
"My husband takes a few days off and they have daddy and sons time. Then, when I get home, I bulldoze through the front door and clean up. Sometimes it's not even worth going away."
It's worth it for us. We get to experience Hooper's laser-sharp comedy, and it's always fresh because she talks about what's going on in her life.
With kids, that's ever-changing. So, at Jr.'s this weekend, expect to hear about the failed foster dog experience and her husband's new job at Disney.
"That means I have health insurance!" Hooper cried. "I'm very excited. Now I can stop yelling at my kids, 'Don't get sick!' We can have the luxury of a cold now. It's really awesome."

Gill Knowles- Update April 2016
Gill Knowles remains in hospital in Leeds (Chapel Allerton Hospital) but has made great progress- including visiting her home recently. She looks forward to getting out and about and we look forward to Gill again taking up her roles in Shadwell in Bloom. A bed will be dedicated to Peter once Gill is about again!
We are proud of our village in Shadwell and invite you to explore these pages. Better still, come and visit us sometime to see our achievements created over the last few years.
The purpose of Shadwell in Bloom is to improve the social and physical environment of the area in which we live and to create a more picturesque Village.
Much of the work is done by loyal and hard working volunteers who contribute to the planning of future development work, and some are involved in bed design. SIB has a presence at the Shadwell Flower Show in August.
SIB is much involved in works not involving flower beds at all. Here for example, Shadwell Primary School has benefited from our re-fencing of their roadside boundary, new fencing off of the pre-school bungalow area, and construction of the allotment and nature garden areas. The Shadwell allotments were created by our volunteers and the maintenance of the nearby Recreation Hut areas are within our work schedule. There are similar histories for our work at Dan Quarry, Shadwell Library and the Village Hall.
The Garden of Remembrance at the Churchyard is now maintained by St. Paul's Church. For details of the establishment of the garden via the efforts of Celia Wroe and Richard Wells see the Saint Paul's Churchyard entry in the Main Menu.

The Republican majority in the U.S. House of Representatives voted Wednesday to repeal the new health care law. Now they've started working on another measure to replace it.
One plan is to get rid of unpopular parts of the new law and advance GOP alternatives on key issues like medical malpractice.
"We will begin ... to implement step-by-step, common-sense reforms that actually lower the cost of health care and actually respect the doctor-patient relationship," said the Ways and Means chairman, Rep. David Camp, R-Mich.
Meanwhile, the new era of civility in Washington, D.C. may not last long. Before the Republicans voted to repeal the law, one Democratic congressman blasted the GOP on the House floor Tuesday night, comparing their attacks on the healthcare law to tactics used by the Nazis before and during World War II.
"The Germans said enough about the Jews and people believe it -- believed it and you had the Holocaust," said Rep. Steve Cohen, D-Tenn. "We heard on this floor, (about the) government takeover of health care. There is no government takeover."
A new national survey has revealed nearly two-thirds of U.S. doctors fear the law could make health care worse for their patients.
According to the poll conducted by Thomson Reuters and HCPlexus, 65 percent of doctors believe the quality of health care will deteriorate over the next five years and only 18 percent think it will improve.
When asked what kind of healthcare professional will treat the 32 million currently uninsured Americans who will have access to healthcare under the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, respondents said that nurse practitioners will see as many patients as primary care physicians. The survey revealed that many patients will be seen by physician assistants.
Some doctors also believe they will have to do more work under the new law, but won't get paid for it.
The survey was conducted among 2,958 physicians nationwide in September, 2010.

ABC affiliate WVEC's David Alan asked obama, "How have we become a country where so many members of the middle class go to bed at night wondering if they going to be able to keep their homes and put food on the table and send their kids to college?" Alan asked the president. "Do you take any personal responsibility for your administration creating that condition?"
"We didn't create the condition. We haven't solved it fully yet because it was three decades in the making," President Obama replied.
"I mean, if you look at the trend lines, essentially what's happened is that because of automation, because of globalization, you had a lot of manufacturing move out of the United States. Businesses got more efficient, they needed fewer workers, they had more leverage over workers, and all this added up to a tougher time for middle class families," the president explained.
So, if one is to understand the president correctly, the current economic crisis facing middle-class America was created by Ronald Reagan, George H. W. Bush, Bill Clinton, and George W. Bush? And are we to believe that it has been exacerbated by "automation"?
Teflon Man Strikes again…just like a democrat, he takes no responsibility, and it is always someone else fault …..
