Embracing Modern Art
The Museum of Art in Fort Lauderdale is offering a rare chance to see works by major American and European artists of the past four decades, including Andy Warhol, Cindy Sherman, Roy Lichtenstein, and Alighiero Boetti. The show, beginning February 13, gives us 58 paintings, sculptures, and photographs seeking to examine the relationship between the individual and society. The selections "illuminate the evolution of the artists' concern... from Pop Art, abstraction, and neo-expressionism into the new internationalism in photography," says Matthew Armstrong, curator of the UBS Paine Webber Art Collection.
"Embracing the Present: The UBS Paine Webber Art Collection," largely the effort of collector Donald Marron, chairman of UBS America, consists of works from one of the foremost collections of contemporary art in the United States. Good art offers an indelible reflection of its times, Marron says. It "reflects contemporary trends in society, and truly outstanding works might even suggest the future. We have always sought to acquire the most significant works by artists who best represent our times."
Many pieces express a fascination with the media. Warhol, perhaps best-known for his off-the-cuff remark that everyone would be famous for 15 minutes, will ironically probably be remembered for generations for his artwork. Known for his critique of American consumerism, Warhol uses a still from the 1931 film The Public Enemy, showing James Cagney, suggesting the dark appeal of the anti-hero in American culture. Depicting the bad guy in a positive light, once considered taboo, is flaunted in Warhol's Cagney, wherethe actor represents an iconic presence of the lovable bad guy.
Sherman's series of staged photographs from the 1970s seems to send a message that the media victimizes its subjects. Sherman's characters are dressed up to represent actresses from the 1940s and 1950s looking frightened and confused. It's interesting that in another series, she continues with the theme of woman as victim of the media. In Untitled #96 (1981), the artist herself plays the part of a young girl clutching an ad ripped from a newspaper. Looking through any of today's fashion magazines, one can still find the demure, scared woman-child, modeling underwear.
Lorna Simpson's Untitled (1992) uses language and photography to convey the pressure on African-American women trying to conform to the standards of a white male society. The fragility of nature is another of the exhibit's prominent themes, particularly with Tony Cragg's Grey Moon (1985), which reflects on a society geared toward consumption. In a biting comment about the treatment of nature, Ashley Bickerton's Catalog: Terra Firma Nineteen Hundred Eighty Nine #2 shows nature as just another packaged product.

All quotes tagged Libertarianism
(18 quotes found)
"My thinking tends to be libertarian. That is, I oppose intrusions of the state into the private realm -- as in abortion, sodomy, prostitution, pornography, drug use, or suicide, all of which I would strongly defend as matters of free choice in a representative democracy."
"No man has a natural right to commit aggression on the equal rights of another, and this is all from which the laws ought to restrain him."
"Government is the great fiction, through which everybody endeavors to live at the expense of everybody else"
"Life, liberty, and property do not exist because men have made laws. On the contrary, it was the fact that life, liberty, and property existed beforehand that caused men to make laws in the first place."
"There was no such person as Mrs. Wayne Wilmot; there was only a shell containing the opinions of her friends, the picture postcards she had seen, the novels of country squires she had read"
"Libertarians and conservatives do regard him as a hero. He's going to be a very influential figure moving forward in Canada, in the US, and abroad."
"We contend that for a nation to try to tax itself into prosperity is like a man standing in a bucket and trying to lift himself up by the handle"
"When someone says the most successful nations in the world today are socialist, they are outright wrong. Socialism has never existed. Capitalism on the other hand, has been apparent in its different forms. Ask yourself a question. Is your productivity incentivized by paying taxes for the goals of "society" or do you work to have the money for yourself and your family? Chances are, you work to achieve your own goals and ultimately: productive activities are unleashed by a free enterprise system."

There's just over one week until Formula Drift returns for 2013, which means that Tony Angelo and his team have been scrambling to put the finishing touches on the TAngelo Racing Scion FR-S. The last time we checked in on Tony, the car's roll cage had just been completed, and they were about to begin swapping the 2AZ from his old tC into the new FR-S.
The Scion FR-S is markedly smaller than the old TAngelo Racing Scion tC, which meant that Tony and his team couldn't simply drop the engine and transmission straight into the new car. Rather, they had to spend valuable time fabricating new mounts to get the motor properly situated in the FR-S.
A custom intake and headers were fitted to the 2AZ to account for the different size/shape of the FR-S engine bay and make it easier for the car to breathe. During this process, the turbocharger was also thrown back into the car to give it the boost it needs for competition in Formula Drift.
The turbocharger feeding the engine is an oil and water cooled Garrett GTX3582. Combined with all of the other mods to the TAngelo Racing FR-S' powertrain, the car should be churning out upwards of 700 horsepower at the wheels by the time it makes its way to Long Beach.
The team's employing a blowoff valve by HKS to relieve the pressure built up from the installed Garrett Turbo. Aside from giving the car that distinctive BOV hiss, it'll also reduce wear on both the engine and the turbo to help keep things running reliably through the entire season.
Condensing an entire FD build into less than 3 months of work required a number of long nights in the garage, complemented with the right kind of fuel to keep everyone on the team things going.
In fact, each aspect of the TAngelo Racing Scion FR-S build was broken up into separate projects, each with a strict deadline for completion.
As Tony would be the one behind the wheel of the car, part of his responsibilities included the difficult task of making sure the Recaro bucket seats were sufficiently comfortable. As one could probably guess from the picture, it seems that he's already made himself at home in them.
Because the Scion FR-S is a pretty capable car in its stock form, that gave the TAngelo Racing crew the luxury of leaving more than a handful of its factory components intact. However, the demanding tracks of FD did necessitate an entirely new suspension setup.
The team went with an entirely bolt-on setup that came courtesy of Stance Suspension. The bolt-on route was purposely chosen as it helped keep the build of the car relatively simple, while also making the suspension relatively easy to replace should it be necessary.
The car's stopping power comes courtesy of a set of Stoptech/TRD brakes. Given Tony's aggressive driving style, however, we don't see him taking advantage of them all too often.
Despite running a small operation, the team has nearly everything they need to make the car go bolted on and ready for the season. All the body panels still need to be fitted on, and the car wrapped in its new livery, but beyond that the car is just about complete.
Hankook, the tire sponsor of all of Scion Racing's drift teams, kindly provided a mountain of rubber that's ready to be torn to shreds once Tony gets the car on the track.
Tony's probably looking forward to getting the car fired up as much as anyone, since he's committed himself to keeping his beard until the TAngelo Racing Scion FR-S build is completed.
We're looking forward to seeing the completed TAngelo Racing Scion FR-S on the track in Long Beach for Round 1 of Formula Drift, As always, if you want to keep up with Tony or his team, be sure to check in with us, or with Tony directly at any of the following links:

When she witnessed her kittens squabbling on the sofa, the American Shorthair casually strolled out of the room, returning a few moments later with a small soft toy. She placed the toy near the kittens and started playing with it, still not seeming to notice the kittens' antics. "This sparked the kittens" interest," says Alice Carty, the Columbus, Pa., breeder and owner of the mother and kittens. "They started playing with the toy and forgot about their fight. The mom hopped down and sat admiring her work."A calm, intelligent approach to life seems to sum up the American Shorthair's personality. Take note, however: This cat is not a couch potato. "They have no fear and will investigate everything and anything that comes into the house," says Diane Rogers, a breeder from Normal, Ill. "If curiosity is the sign of intelligence, the American Shorthair is very intelligent indeed."The breed's laid-back, flexible attitude makes it an ideal addition to almost any household. "The American Shorthair personality is a nice balance," says Leslie Herman, a breeder from Williamsburg, Va. "They are wonderful buddy cats."Such qualities allow the cat to become buddies with all types of people, breeders say. "Absolutely anybody, young or old, single, married, or a big or small household," Rogers explains.
Classic Good LooksWhile the American Shorthair's personality charms many cat lovers, the breed captures immediate attention with its distinctive patterns and colors. That cute tabby you often see selling cat food on television? Most likely it's an American Shorthair in a silver classic tabby pattern.

Thanks to this article, I found just out that "Ringo", my chocolate brown and cream, bold tiger striped, shelter-rescued cat with the big circles on his sides is an actual BREED, and not just a one-of-a-kind cat. Oh, my Siamese cat (no relation to Ringo) now has the odd circles on HER sides. What's up with that?

Stand on top of the world in the UK's tallest sculpture.
The Slide at the ArcelorMittal Orbit is now open! It is London's most spectacular and thrilling new attraction, at a staggering height of 178m it is the world's tallest and longest tunnel slide and you'll experience speeds of 15 miles per hour! Tickets now on sale!
Due to popular demand, more tickets have just been released for summer and we are now taking bookings until March. Don't miss your chance to Ride the Slide!
Zoom up in the lift and ascend 80 metres to the top of Britain's tallest sculpture. Here you'll be greeted by a show-stopping panorama of London at its very best. Play a spot of "I spy" with the view that stretches 20 miles and identify the iconic buildings that dot the London skyline: The Shard, The Gherkin, Big Ben, Canary Wharf and The O2 Arena- to name a few!
The distinctive looping red steel tower stands 114.5 metres high and inside the venue you can enjoy more delights from Turner-prize winning designer, Sir Anish Kapoor. Turn the horizon on its head with the concave mirrors and interpret the view up close using the interactive screens and gigapixel technology- you have to see it to believe it!
What's on offer?
As part of our commitment to evolving and developing the ArcelorMittal Orbit, a planning application has been submitted to create a slide from the platforms of the structure down to ground level.
Anish Kapoor has invited Belgian artist Carsten Höller to create a giant slide for the ArcelorMittal Orbit in Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park in London. This is a unique collaboration between two of the world's leading artists and will be a major new art installation for the capital.
The enclosed steel tube will wind its way in and out of the lattice work of the ArcelorMittal Orbit, twisting down to the ground as an alternative to the staircase. The addition of a slide would be an exciting and alternative way to descend from the viewing platforms, and will give a very different perspective of Britain's tallest sculpture. It is hoped that the slide will open in 2016.
We've worked with Disabled Go to create an online access guide for the ArcelorMittal Orbit.

Three points separate the U.S. Men's National Team from reassurance and a state of panic. The sky hasn't fallen yet, but don't be surprised if it does Friday night.
After a letdown in San Pedro Sula, American soccer fans have been on edge.
Landon Donovan's profile has been superimposed on the bat-signal. A 41-year-old Brad Friedel—who retired from international soccer in 2005—offered his services, and every one of Jurgen Klinsmann's decisions has been intensely scrutinized.
The same cannot be said for Costa Rica. Not as much angst and pressure rests on the shoulders of La Sele this Friday.
A stunning comeback allowed Costa Rica to steal a pivotal point in Panama last month. The most decorated nation in Central America is on pace to qualify for its fifth World Cup. The team's odds rested at 80 percent before a 2-2 draw on the road last month (per ESPN's Soccer Power Index).
The Yanks are reeling, and Costa Rica is more than capable of landing a devastating blow.

Allegheny men hope returning cast can improve on 2011-12
Coming off one of the worst seasons in school history, a 5-20 nightmare filled with six losses by four points or less, Allegheny College figures to up the tempo during the 2012-13 men's basketball campaign.
The Gators lost one top player from last season's squad, a big one at that in forward Jim Ness, who averaged 15 points and 7.4 rebounds playing in the paint. The returning personnel for coach Jim Driggs is deep in guards, which should dictate a fast pace on offense.
Senior guard Devone McLeod (11.9 ppg.) is the top returning scorer, while junior point guard D'Andre Corbin averaged 3.5 assists in 2011-12.
Sophomore power forward Chris Milon, who missed last season with an injury, and 6-foot 7-inch freshman Andrew Sestina could make their presence felt early.
The Gators open the season today at 8 p.m. at the Wise Center against Pitt- Titusville in the opening night of the Greg Richards '08 Memorial Tip-Off tournament. Richards, who died in February, was captain of the Gators in the 2007-08 season.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Trevor Bayne doesn't mind telling his story about racing with multiple sclerosis, but he's not interested in having that define him.
Bayne, who won the 2011 Daytona 500 but then missed part of that season because of fatigue and double vision, announced in November that he had been diagnosed with multiple sclerosis.
He has not had any symptoms in the offseason and is ready for the 2014 season, the Roush Fenway Racing driver said Monday during the Sprint Media Tour.
PHOTOS: Sprint Media Tour
Bayne, who finished sixth in the Nationwide Series standings in 2013, will run the full Nationwide season while also competing in at least a dozen Cup races for Wood Brothers Racing.
While Roush Fenway landed AdvoCare as a sponsor for Bayne's Nationwide car, he obviously could run more Cup races with more sponsorship. For now, Bayne isn't interested in doing any campaigns that center around his multiple sclerosis.
"I don't want to be a racecar driver because I have a campaign behind him — I want to earn my spot here," said Bayne, who often talks about his deep religious faith. "That doesn't really interest me at this point, but I definitely want to be a spokesperson for anybody going through anything tough and see that with Jesus, you can overcome anything.
"That's my message. It's not just about MS."
Bayne said he trains three hours a day, which includes running and swimming as well as biking. He has not had to alter his training program.
"Healthwise I feel great. … With no symptoms, there's no worries," Bayne said. "If I got down the road in six months and I noticed something, I would definitely see a doctor about it. At this point, I haven't had to do any of that.
"I do go back for checkups regularly and get their input because it would be not so smart not to do that. So far, it's all been positive. I can go hard in training and push myself way harder out of the car than I do in the car."
He has gotten several suggestions on what he can do, with people encouraging him as much as asking him for advice and support.
"I've got a huge response — the books are stacked up on my desk at home of different eating plans as fans are sending all kinds of information and being encouraged," Bayne said. "The response has been great. … It goes both ways for sure."

Petition Started To Bring Back Old FSU Logo
There's been a huge backlash against the new Florida State logo that was leaked Wednesday night and now a petition has been started to change it back.
This petition was created on Change.org and they need 1,500 signatures to get noticed by the university.
Those against this new logo, are being vocal about their feelings. One former FSU student-athlete posted her opinion on the petition page.
"This logo looks cartoonish in appearance, and is such a disgrace to the tradition and University that I have so much respect for. As a former student-athlete who represented the team on a National scale for four years, I am completely disappointed in Florida State for allowing this to be the image that we are known for. Our previous logo stood for so much, and embodies FSU. That logo was worn during countless examples of strength and success, and to change it just seems so wrong. Please re-think this!"
Fans and alumni opposed to the new look are quoting the famous phrase, "If it ain't broke, don't fix it."
Hopefully, the appropriate Florida State staff members get the message.

HALIFAX - After Millersburg defeated Tri-Valley League opponent Greenwood twice during the regular season, the Indians might have thought they had the Wildcats' number.
But on Wednesday, during the District 3 Class A championship game, all such thoughts were erased.
The Wildcats put away the Indians 13-3 in five innings for the win, notching their fifth-straight district title and punching their ticket to the state tournament, in which they will face the winner of the District 5 championship game between Rockwood and charter school Hope for Hyndman.
Unfortunately for Millersburg, both dugouts contributed to the Wildcats' victory, as 10 walks between Millersburg's three pitchers and two Indian errors on the field gave Greenwood ample opportunity to put up the numbers. However, that's not to take the credit away from the Wildcats, who relied on continued success from freshman pitcher Brooke Louden and timely hits to put the game away.
Through the first two innings, the momentum was squarely in Millersburgs' possession, as starting pitcher Marlo Roadcap kept Greenwoods' batters baffled. The tall lefty had a high-velocity pitch the Wildcats couldn't catch up with, and four the first six Greenwood outs were strikeouts.
This discord at the plate may have also leached into the Wildcats' defensive game, as the Indians scored one in the bottom of the first on a fly ball to right field that, had the ball been fielded cleanly, would have resulted in a close play at home; scored a second run the next inning as a result of a wild pitch; and a third in the same inning on a questionable call when Greenwood's Becca Stalvey tracked a ball deep into left field for a beautiful catch, but the runner from third was called safe at home despite failing to tag up.
Fact Box
* Greenwood will play the District 5 champion Monday
But if there's one thing the Wildcats have been doing all season, it's recovering from bumps in the road, and that's exactly what they did in the top of the third.
Down 3-0, the Wildcats kept their cool despite the deficit, and it paid off in a big way when a few missed pitches put Roadcap in a tailspin. After recording the first strikeout of the inning, Roadcap fell apart when in the next four at bats she gave up a single to Amy Heggenstaller and walked three to give the Wildcats their first run of the game. The lefty was beginning to unravel, and Greenwood's Chelsea Hick took advantage, putting one in the gap in left center for a three-RBI triple that gave Greenwood the 4-3 lead.
Hicks then reached home when an overthrow at first from a Rachel Stroup bunt put the score at 5-3.
"I thought the girls were working the count well - they got deep in the count with the pitcher a number of times; drew some walks with some great at bats - and then we came up with some timely hits when we needed them, and that's what it's all about," Greenwood coach Troy Gantt said.
But if the Wildcats had shown their ability to get the timely hit in the third, they showed their ability to put the game away in the fifth.
In an inning highlighted by a scorcher up the left field line by Heggenstaller that not only placed her at second but brought home three of her teammates, Greenwood plated eight runs for the final 13-3 score.
In the fifth, four different Wildcats saw two at bats, Greenwood notched four of its six hits, and a slew of walks from Millersburgs' Taryn Herb and Brooke Shomper resulted in the big inning for Greenwood.
After Roadcap's rough third inning, she was pulled for Herb, but it might not have taken long for Millersburg to regret the choice. Between Herb and Shomper - both of whom pitched in the fifth - one Wildcat scored on a wild pitch, Brittany Fleisher and Stavely each earned RBIs the easy way watching four balls go by, Rachel Stroup and Louden brought in runs with their singles and Heggenstaller brought in three with her double to round out Greenwood's scoring.
"It's a great feeling. I'm very proud of the girls," Gantt said, speaking of the team's return to the state tournament. He was also complimentary of Louden, who struck out five and allowed just four hits in the contest.
In the first inning Louden had a bit of a rough start, as she hit leadoff batter Kayla Snyder, who later scored for the Millersburg lead. However, as the game progressed Louden settled in, and strong defensive plays such as Stalvey's catch in left field and continued success at third base from Katie Osborne and Brittany Fleisher at short kept the Indians at bay.
Before the game began Millersburg's record was at 12-6 verses Greenwood's 7-11, but record books didn't appear to be a factor in Wednesday's win, and Gantt didn't think they were much of a factor in his team's fifth-straight title, either.
"It's a matter of getting better throughout the season, and I think this team more so than any other team I've had has done that. You get hot at the right time, you catch a little bit of confidence, you catch a break here and there and that's the way things worked here late this season. You know, records go out the window."

1958 Topps #307 Brooks Robinson Original Card Artwork
Starting Bid - $200.00 , Sold For - $1,762.50
Presented is the actual original artwork (5-1/2 x 4-1/8 inches) used to produce card #307 Brooks Robinson from the 1958 Topps set.

The original artwork includes additional image area which was cropped out by Topps on the issued card. The artwork is accompanied by an example of the standard issued card.

NBA 2K12 is the successor of what was the best basketball game on the market last year. With the 2012 version this title gets prolonged and not only because the competition remained on the bench.
After the success of the retro games you could do with Michael Jordan the makers have decided to put more of this in the new version. No less than fifteen top players who made the sport big make their acquaintance in a historically correct way and in games that can be called legendary by fans.
Although I honestly have no idea about how the NBA looked before, or what these guys exactly achieved (except maybe Dennis Rodman or Magic Johnson), I was truly charmed. The presentation is very good and you can feel the nostalgia dripping from your screen, amongst others thanks to the great graphical effects, the correct squeeky noises and of course the fact that players are suddenly in old-skool trowsers. The arenas transform your living room into something of the past. A dream for those who ever wanted to step into the shoes of their heroes when they were young.
With the My Player mode that's now also possible. You create you own player and in just a few moments you get to step into the spotlight of one of the most popular competitions in the world. You play games, build your career and give interviews until you get put into the Hall of Fame yourself. For multiplayer matches I still prefer something like FIFA, but for singleplayer this can count.
The attention for detail and the love for the sports can actually be found throughout the entire game. Not only are there plenty of teams and possibilities, also the animations are very good and as you know already, it's like you're watching a game on TV instead of being at the controls yourself.
Controls that thanks to some lessons are easy to get to know and are put together logically. Your man will tightly follow your input which always comes in handy in hectic sports games, and also the AI is quite alright. Or at least, that's what we found after a couple of hours playing: the better you play, the more fun it becomes and the more you get rewarded for following tactics and patiently waiting for an opportunity to take a shot.
NBA 2K12 is not all that different from 2K11 qua gameplay, but you do get a lot more retro options and these make this game a true pearl. On top of that, the career mode is more than enjoyable and the graphics are to lick your fingers, now also throughout basketball history. A must-have for the fans, also for those who already own the rest of the series

This past Sunday morning we headed to the beach to cheer on my sister-in-law in the Long Branch Half Marathon. On the way down I thought about the NJCOP I was playing later in the day, the $200k Guarantee, and how much I was looking forward to playing poker. I'd arranged with my husband a few weeks earlier that he'd be responsible for dinner and bedtime for the night so I could play the NJCOP Main Event.
I spent an awesome morning walking around Long Branch, having brunch overlooking the ocean, and playing with the kids at Seven Presidents Park. Before I knew it, 4pm rolled around and there was only another hour until the tournament. My husband grilled up chicken kabobs, burgers, zucchini and mushrooms while I got the salad ready. After dinner I told my him I was "off the clock" and fired up the tournament from my laptop on the couch.
The feeling reminded me of playing a big live tournament, like the recent $1 Million Guarantee at Borgata. Despite the excitement, I tried hard not to alter my game, like playing too many hands or second-guessing myself mid-hand. My cards made it easy early, as I had terrible cards that were quick folds.
While my husband cleaned up dinner, the boys ran around the family room. He took our younger son up for a bath and the older one wandered around playing. Occasionally he'd climb up next to me and comment on the various player icons (the picture next to your name), "Look, a fishie! What's he doing?" My stack fluctuated up and down, but I'd made it to 26k from the 20k starting stack when I played my first big hand.
A player called the big blind from middle position, and the player directly to my right raised. I called with King Queen suited and there were two other callers. The initial raiser bet small, and I called on a King Nine Six flop. The turn was a Seven and my opponent checked. I bet and he called. The river was another King and he called another bet with Ace King to win a big pot. His trip Kings with the Ace kicker beat my trip Kings with a Queen kicker.
My husband came back down and he and my son were sitting next to me as I played my final hand. It folded to me in the small blind and I raised with pocket aces. My opponent called. I bet the Eight Eight Two flop and he raised. I called and then called his bets on the King turn and Four river. Sadly, he had Eight Five suited and I was out of the tournament.
I was bummed, but shook it off and helped get my older son bathed and in bed. Overall, it was a great day, and I can't wait until the next big Sunday tournament I can play. Next time I hope to make it past both bedtimes!

Liverpool were far from their best on Sunday as an attacking threat but defensively we were the superior side and capitalized on a mistake by Yobo for the second and got a deflected goal for our first (our first deflected goal that I can remember in some time).
It's really too bad that Everton can't play with the same heart, determination when they face Man United. I watched that game and Everton frankly lay down and gave United all the time in the world.
In bed early on Friday night as it has been two long weeks with out a Liverpool game. The alarm was set at 430 am so I could get up and make a cup of coffee for the 4:45 am. kick off. People think I'm crazy but on a completely personal level I enjoy the early kick off's as I can watch the game with out feeling like I'm taking time away from the kids. The downside of the early games is that if we don't win it makes for an awfully long day of stewing on the result.
2-2 was a fair result. City played well for about 20 minutes which was enough to share the spoils at Anfield.
I'm not sure again how Liverpool failed to beat Birmingham last Monday. Rarely does a team have so much of the ball, have so many clear chances, score two goals but really fail to test a keeper. Liverpool dominated this game from start to finish but again ended up not on the winning side. Not only did we not win but Torres injury didn't see him in the squad and we lost arguably our best player of the season for 3-4 weeks in yossi Benyou. The lively Albert Rierra also limped off with a hamstring injury just seconds before B'ham took an unbelievable lead.
This is getting old. I'm not sure what Liverpool did to upset off the soccer gods but whatever it was it must have been bad. I couldn't' believe the team sheet on Saturday morning. Missing from the squad was Skrtel, Agger, Rierra, Gerrard, Auerilo and Ngog. I just couldn't believe how many forced changes we had.
Everyone knows that I'm a huge Rafa supporter. We need Rafa more then he needs us but this was not one of his better games. I have no problem with him taking off Torres after 60 minutes but his decision to remove Yossi was a surprise. Surely Kuyt was the better option, Kuyt had a very poor game and looked tired. The other beef I have with this team was that Vornonin was in it. He was terrible and is simply not good enough to start an away league match. I would have rather seen Yossi behind Torres and even Babel out left. Babel was awful again by the way.
Liverpool actually dominated the first 25 minutes of this match. Fulham barely got out of their own half. For all possession we didn't have that many clear chances at goal. Although Degen was finding some joy down the right, his final ball was not great. Finally an opening did arrive as Yossi took the ball down well but his shot hit the post. Of course, the way the games are going for us we found ourselves a goal behind from Fulhams first attack. Poor marketing from our Greek center back and a lazy Insua allowed Zamora to tap it in.

Cyber Agricultural Extention
National Agricultural Information Network - Cyber Agricultural Extension
Department of Agriculture (DOA) has initiated the establishment of Rural Agriculture Knowledge Centres / Cyber Extension Units at Agrarian Service Centres under the proposed National Agriculture Information Network project, in order to find quick solutions to the farm problems by providing DOA recommended agriculture technology information to farming community in Sri Lanka.
During the initial stage of the project, since the Agriculture Instructor's (AIs) offices were not facilitated with the telephone and internet facility, Interactive Multimedia CD-ROMs on agriculture crops were utilized in agriculture technology transfer. Presently, 51 IMM CD-ROMs have been produced in Sinhala and Tamil medium with the technical assistance of the Research Officers.
Pilot Project
Fifty Three Rural Agriculture Knowledge Centres / Cyber Extension Units were established to cover all the districts of the island, under the pilot Cyber Extension project. (25 units during the year 2004, 20 units in 2005 and 8 units in year 2007). Each cyber extension unit were equipped with a high-end multimedia computers, digital camera, laser printer, Scanner, UPS and telephone with internet facility. The Cyber Units are managed by the Agriculture Instructors (AIs) under the purview of central government and provincial government Department of Agriculture. The pilot Cyber Extension project was funded by the Sri Lanka Council for Agriculture Research Policy and the Granary Area Programme of the DOA.
Deyata Kirula National Exhibition 2011
All the AIs office in Monaragala district are upgraded to as Cyber Extension Units by providing computer facility through the development programme implemented parallel to the Deyata Kirula National Exhibition 2011. All the AIs office in the island will be joined to the National Agriculture Information Network through a national level project proposed by the Audio Visual Centre of the DOA.

Saint Rose of Lima, Spanish Santa Rosa De Lima, original name Isabel De Flores (born April 20/30, 1586, Lima, Viceroyalty of Peru [now in Peru]—died Aug. 24, 1617, Lima; canonized April 12, 1671; feast day August 23, formerly August 30) patron saint of Peru and of all South America and the first person born in the Western Hemisphere to be canonized by the Roman Catholic Church.
Born into a wealthy family, Rosa (the name by which she was always known) was drawn to penitential practices and a spiritual life, which was opposed by her mother, who wanted her to marry. The struggle between them lasted 10 years, during which time Rose made a perpetual vow of virginity, taking St. Catherine of Siena as her model. In 1606 her mother relented and allowed Rosa to become a Dominican of the Third Order. She chose strict enclosure and contemplation and withdrew to the seclusion of a hut in the family garden, where she endured a life of severe austerity: she wore a crown of thorns, practiced fasting, slept on a bed of broken glass and potsherds, and experienced numerous visions, particularly of the devil. Only in the last three years of her life did she leave her seclusion. Her funeral was an occasion of public honour, and many miracles were said to have occurred after her death.
She was beatified in 1668 by Pope Clement IX and declared patron of Lima; she was canonized by Pope Clement X, who proclaimed her patron saint of South America, the Indies, and the Philippines.

Mix Sunday, changing to snow
The News 8 Storm Team Forecast with Meteorologist Christine FerreiraUPDATED 11:28 AM EST Mar 01, 2014
A wintry mix is likely Sunday afternoon before moderate to heavy snow arrives overnight through early Monday.Video Transcript
cold front. High temperatures will be warmer than yesterday due to southeasterly winds, but the numbers will still be below average, near 34 degrees. Continued "warm" flow tonight will raise overnight temperatures to the mid-20s. Expect mostly cloudy skies and light winds.The arctic cold front will drop across Pennsylvania Sunday afternoon, bringing in a shallow layer of dense, cold air.However, just above the surface the air is slightly above freezing. This will lead to a wintry mix of light freezing rain, sleet and possibly rain in some areas, as low pressure moves along the front.Temperatures will hover in the low-to-mid 30s early in the day, falling to the 20s overnight. I expect the mix to changeover to snow late Sunday evening.Snow may be heavy at times Monday morning through early afternoon. However, this system is moving quickly and I expect light snow to end before the evening rush. Temperatures will continue to fall to the teens Monday night. As high pressure builds east, highs will reach the mid-to-upper 20s Tuesday and Wednesday with lows in the low teens and single digits.Today: Increasing clouds. Not as cold. High: 34.

The touch up paint covered the scratch very well.
This was a perfect match and very easy to use. I have to admit it is better than I expected.
Excellent product, fast delivery. Thanks.
At first I was slightly concerned at the cost of the Aerosol Spray Paint, I thought it was a little more than what I wanted to spend. The Automotive Touchup web site did make it easy to find the color I needed and placing an order was simple too. I went ahead and ordered a can and was I happy I did! When I first went to use the can I was surprised and pleased at the type of spray nozzel it had. This was no cheap spray nozzle, this was quality. The paint did not dissapoint either. Smooth spraying, great coverage and most important the color was right on. I am one happy customer and I came back to Automotive Touchup to order a 2 oz. touch up bottle for my Jeep. Overall I am very happy with their web site, ease of ordering, speed of shipping and most importantly the quality and color match of the paint.

PORT ST. LUCIE, Fla. -- Early last season, around the time he threw a 100-mph pitch at Fenway Park, Bobby Parnell looked like he could be the Mets' setup man in 2010. Later, when the Mets put him in the starting rotation, it appeared he might end up being their fifth starter this year.
Now, after his audition for a starting job went badly, Parnell will again start the season as a middle reliever. But with Ryota Igarashi and Kelvim Escobar on board, Parnell comes into camp more likely to be used in the seventh inning than in the eighth.
That's all right with Parnell, who said he learned a valuable lesson last year.
"Just be prepared for anything," he said. "I have to come into spring training ready to get outs, and whatever job they give me, just go with it."
Regardless of how the Mets use him, it's clear that Parnell, 25, needs a better off-speed repertoire than the one he had in his first full major-league season. With that in mind, Parnell said he has been trying to develop a better changeup, a pitch he rarely threw last year.
According to fangraphs.com, Parnell threw 77.6 percent of his pitches for fastballs, 18 percent of his pitches for sliders and just 4.4 percent of his pitches for changeups in 2009.
Parnell isn't going to suddenly morph into a finesse pitcher, but if the changeup works for him, it should make it harder for hitters to tee off on his fastball the way they did late last season.
"It's been pretty good so far," Parnell said. "If I can keep that there and keep messing with it and get it better, I think it's going to be a good pitch for me, just to show it every now and then and put it in hitters' heads that it's there."


text: Rajinikanth can be hailed as one of the greatest and most successful movie stars of Indian cinema. Born as Shivaji Rao Gaekwad in the year 1950, Rajinikanth is a cultural icon of Tamil Nadu. His immense popularity and appeal can be attributed from his stylish delivery of dialogues, unique mannerisms and tremendous screen presence. Till date he is the most bankable star of Indian cinema and can carry a film single-handedly on his shoulders. Popularly known as 'Thalaivar', Rajinikanth made his screen debut in the year 1975 and initially started off as a supporting artist in various films. The famous director K.Balachander acted as his mentor and introduced him to the industry. He had to struggle a lot during the early stages of his life due to the poor financial condition of his family. He did his schooling from Bangalore and did jobs of varied nature during his stay in the city. It was during his stint as a bus conductor in Bangalore that he nurtured his ambition of becoming an actor. Before joining the industry Rajinikanth acted in various stage plays.Rajinikanth though being a Marathi by birth has not acted in any Marathi films till date. He has done a wide variety of roles in various Hindi, Tamil, Kannada, Telugu, Malayalam and Hindi films.Among the major films in his career, Katha Sangama, Apporva Raagangal, Mullum Malarum and Bhuvana Oru Kelvikkuri deserves special mention. Rajinikanth's popularity among the masses started growing from the year 1980 and reached its peak in the year 1988. Films like Mahviran and Vellikaran made him the new superstar of Tamil cinema. From then on, there was no looking back for the superstar as he started to deliver hits one after the other. Besides acting Rajinikanth has also acted as a playback singer, screen play writer and film producer in some of his films. He is also the second highest paid actor in Asia having received an amount of 26 crores for his latest blockbuster 'Sivaji: The Boss'. Apart from being a successful film star Rajinikanth is also known for his various philanthropic activities. Besides receiving various felicitations, he has also received the prestigious 'Padma Bhushan' the third highest civilian award for his immense contribution to Indian cinema. One of the most famous mannerisms of Rajinikanth which stands out as quite symbolic is the way he flips up his cigarette in the air and then goes on catch it with his lips, before pouncing on the villains. This famous act is followed by most of his fanatical supporters who surely consider him as a demi-God.

The Flint River Chapter has advocated in the area for more than 10 years now, partnering with local organizations like Mott Community College, Woodside Church and the Flushing Township Nature Park to host community programs.
The group planted and maintains a flower bed of native plants at the the rest stop off of southbound I-75 south of Clio exit 131 in Vienna Township and was also behind MCC's native plant garden -- one of the first college's in the area to have one.
"Our group has focused on educating individuals to incorporate native plants into their landscape because they require less maintenance once established, and for the environmental benefits they offer," Rebecca Gale-Gonzalez, president of the Flint River Wild Ones, said in a press release.
"It takes less water and no chemical fertilizers to maintain these plants, which have a huge environmental benefit over lawns and more traditional landscapes filled with non-native ornamental species."
According to Gale-Gonzalez, one of the other environmental benefits of native plants is that they serve as a natural food source to birds and insects.
The Flint River Wild Ones' booth at Saturday's Farmers' Market will offer individual plants and advance orders are now being taken for butterfly gardens, rain gardens and woodland garden kits to arrive in time for pick-up at the sale. For more information about the group, native plants or to place an order, call (810) 762-0455 or visit www.for-wild.org/chapters/flint.

Distractivity is what you're doing when you get distracted from what you should be doing. It's generally what you want to do, often what you need to do, and arguably, what you'll do best.
John wasn't making much progress on the company's annual report, so he welcomed the distractivity of working on his website.

UNIVERSITY PARK - Matt McGloin sat down on the side of the Penn State Media Room and made a quick read.
"The seat's too high," he said.
As a semicircle of reporters quickly formed around him, McGloin adjusted easily - almost as easily as he picked apart Eastern Michigan's defense by completing 14-of-17 passes for 220 yards and three touchdowns to engineer the Nittany Lions' 34-6 victory Saturday at Beaver Stadium.

Mirror photo by Patrick Waksmunski
Joe Paterno talks with Matt McGloin.
"I had some success sure, but all the credit doesn't go to me," McGloin said. "The offensive line gave us a lot of time, and our receivers made some great plays."
True on both counts. McGloin was not intercepted or sacked, and the Lion offense took advantage of Eastern Michigan's commitment to stopping the run.
"We knew we'd have to throw the ball," Joe Paterno said.
Rob Bolden started, but the offense only managed a field goal and a 3-0 lead before McGloin was summoned. He hit his first eight passes in what was his best outing of the young season.
We can debate all day - it's already taken place through September - on whether Bolden or McGloin should be the Nittany Lions' starting quarterback.
What can't be debated is how McGloin has played in Penn State's three victories and how he's picked up the team after the offense has not been sharp under Bolden.
The West Scranton gunslinger is now 33-of-44 for 421 yards, three touchdowns and no interceptions in the Lions' victories.
Clearly, the offense moves the ball better with McGloin at the helm, but the coaching staff has not been inclined to designate one quarterback and just go with him.
"I know everybody outside the program wants us to pick one over the other, but I don't know what the rush is," quarterbacks coach Jay Paterno said. "We have two starters. It's a good problem to have. I think we have two guys we can win with, and outside of the Alabama game, they've played pretty well."
McGloin and Bolden would both like to have the position to themselves, "but they're learning how to handle it well," offensive co-captain Quinn Barham said.
Offensive coordinator Galen Hall, who backed up All-American Richie Lucas in 1960, said sometimes the second quarterback, "can see what they're doing [on defense] and may be a little better prepared than even playing at the beginning."
McGloin isn't totally buying that. He said, "I take my mental reps," before he's called upon, but he added, "I don't think it's an advantage. But if coach wants to do a two-quarterback system, it's fine with me. I think we're getting more and more comfortable with it."
A quarterback controversy can divide a team - former Penn State QB and ABC broadcaster Todd Blackledge said as much during the Lions' game with Alabama and recommended picking one - but that doesn't seem to be an issue here.
"You can't be stubborn," McGloin said. "Who doesn't want to play [start]? We're two quarterbacks going at it. Guys will respond the way you respond. If you're miserable, the team will be miserable. You have to stay positive and act like you're the guy."
McGloin has definitely been better in relief than Bolden has been as a starter - except against Alabama, when McGloin looked overmatched and completed just 1-of-10 for zero yards.
"Alabama was in mid-season form," McGloin said. "It was a big-time team, and we're better for it. That day we were pressing to make plays. [But] at this level of football, you can't look back. You have to learn from it and move forward."
It's a delicate call because while McGloin may be the better player right now, and logic would suggest the best player starts, the formula is proving itself and there's uncertainty over whether a McGloin and then Bolden rotation would be as effective.
Then there's the competition factor as Indiana State, Eastern Michigan and Temple, though the Owls are vastly improved, are not Nebraska, Ohio State and Wisconsin.
That's why the Big Ten schedule will ultimately decide whether the Lions have a No. 1 quarterback and which one it is.
"I'm definitely excited to go into Big Ten play," McGloin said. "We feel really comfortable in the conference and how it sets up in the Leaders Division. We feel we have a shot to win it."
As for his role, McGloin said, "Anytime I'm in there I feel I'm going to contribute. I just want to show people what I'm capable of doing."
He is - with his arm and his attitude.

First things first, Detroit trio Hairshirt sounds nothing like the scraggly mandolin-laden R.E.M. song. Nor does their music sound as scratchy and uncomfortable as the hairshirt itself, or cilice, worn by some Catholics as a sign of penance. It's likely instead that the band takes its name from the adjective hairshirt, meaning austere. Bosnian-born Amir Husak claims to have learned English from Iggy Pop, and the band to be influenced by everyone from Can and Echo & the Bunnymen to Madonna. The noise the trio kicks up on their Lover Politician EP is indeed austere—dynamic with a minimum of superfluity. Sequencers and synths bubble and murmur just enough to highlight the groove on "Trapper Keepers", or set the mood on "Rubber Hands". For fans of moody, electric pop a la Interpol or any other group of sharp-dressed, attractive, musical men with fuzzy guitars and nice watches.

These students were not waiting for their chance to finger paint, but for the opportunity to join a global campaign.
The prevalence of the use of child soldiers in our world today may shock those living in the safe haven of Santa Clarita, but approximately 250,000 children are serving in the ranks of government and non-government forces in 20 countries.
Students from Canyon High identified this issue and organized a Child Soldiers Awareness assembly on Oct. 9 to educate their peers on the gross human rights violations committed against children forced into combat. The students are part of the Human Rights Watch Student Task Force, a youth leadership training program, which works with students in various Los Angeles County schools.
The program encourages students with a passion for human rights to work on behalf of children who are not protected against abuse and thus advocate for the protection of their human rights. The Student Task Force is part of the Children's Rights Division of Human Rights Watch, which monitors human rights abuses against children around the world and campaigns to end them.
Student Task Force students at Canyon High feel that the education of their peers about the abuse of child soldiers is of absolute necessity in preventing human rights violations. They organized the Child Soldiers Awareness assembly to communicate their sense of moral obligation to help end children's engagement in combat.
"The assembly plays an essential roll in the education of our peers. The use of child soldiers is a major problem around the world, and needs to be stopped," said Mariah Mahotz, an active member of Canyon High's Student Task Force.
After the assembly, Canyon High students joined in participation with the International Red Hand Campaign, an international effort to bring awareness to this global crisis and support the current ban on using children in combat.
Although the use of children as soldiers has been prohibited according to an optional protocol to the United Nations Convention on the Rights of a Child since Feb. 12, 2002, hundreds of thousands of children still engage in combat.
The Red Hand Campaign was instigated by children and teenagers to show members of the U. N. the global opposition to the use of child soldiers.
The handprints are collected around the world, each stamped along with the owner' name, city, state, and a message of hope. The goal of the campaign is to present one million red handprints to U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon in New York City on Red Hand Day, Feb. 12, 2009.
Megan Scherick is a junior at Canyon High School and the communications officer of the Student Task Force.

Bluebird Lake - 12.6 Miles Round-Trip
Bluebird Lake (10,978') is located 6.3 miles from Wild Basin Trailhead in Rocky Mountain National Park. It occupies a large, rocky bowl above treeline just east of the Continental Divide. The trail follows North St Vrain Creek and Ouzel Creek through diverse forests and an interesting burn-recovery area into the upper valley. A steep push leads through treeline to the lake, where an unmaintained route continues along the inlet to its headwaters at Pipit Lake.
Visitors will enjoy varied terrain, several waterfalls, access to Ouzel Lake and excellent fishing on the hike to Bluebird Lake:
The trail rises gently beside North St Vrain Creek to spurs for Lower and Upper Copeland Falls (.35 and .45 miles). Mild travel continues to the backcountry campsite access trail (1.35 miles : 8,860'), crosses the creek and climbs .45 miles to Calypso Cascades (1.8 miles : 9,108').
The trail wraps up a north-facing valley wall and passes through an area touched by lightning-induced fire in 1978 (2.1 miles : 9,100'). Despite significant damage, the forest is in a natural state of recovery. Grasses and young aspen fill newly opened spaces, and in time spruce and fir will return and restore the forest to its ecological climax.
The trail steepens to Ouzel Falls (2.6 miles : 9,366'), drops and rises back to the Ouzel Lake - Thunder Lake Trail split (2.95 miles : 9,418').
Bear left for a short, moderately steep climb to a divisive E-W ridge between the Ouzel Creek drainage (south) and North St Vrain Creek drainage (north).
The trail bends west through the heart of the 1978 Ouzel Fire zone with rangy views through a culled forest: Pilot Mountain (12,222'), Mount Alice (13,310'), Mt Meeker (13,911) and Longs Peak (14,259') are visible to the northwest, while Mount Copeland's (13,176') north flank looms over the Ouzel drainage to the southwest.
The trail undulates along the exposed ridge to the Ouzel Lake spur (4.5 miles : 10,026'), and continues on a more rugged path into an unaffected swath of forest (5.2 miles : 10,175').
It rises quickly through an attractive composite of mature spruce, glades, wildflowers and streams to the Upper Ouzel Creek Backcountry Campsite (5.9 miles : 10,602').
Here the forest thins at the base of a steep climb beside Bluebird Lake's outlet stream. The trail negotiates rocks slabs and talus through treeline on the final approach; if off course, simply follow the stream and look for an occasional cairn - you will find the trail again.
The trail crests a few dozen yards over Bluebird Lake and scrambles down to the shore (6.3 miles : 10,978'). Ouzel Peak (12,716') rises prominently from the lake's west shore, with Mount Copeland's north flank and Mahana Peak's (12,632') southeast flank completing the cirque wall.
An unmarked and unmaintained route follows Bluebird Lake's inlet west to Lark Pond and Pipit Lake, while another cross-country route leads southwest to Junco Lake.

Worth Noting
- High open areas through the burn area are exposed to sun and wind for lengthy stretches - hats, sunglasses, layers and lotion are recommended.
- Ouzel Falls and Ouzel Lake are named after the Ouzel - or Dipper - a small bird that jumps into cold mountain streams and 'flies' underwater to catch insects on the bottom.
- An avalanche in the spring of 2011 below Bluebird Lake has left a considerable amount of debris and deadfall on the trail between 5.2 and 6.0 miles.
