How New Zealand's Blanket Bay Got Its Name
Nestled amidst rugged snow capped peaks of the Southern Alps on the shores of Lake Wakatipu is New Zealand's finest Lodge – Blanket Bay. In 1861, a mob of sheep owned by Mr William Gilbert Rees were sheared on the shore of Lake Wakatipu, in a bay just south of where the small town of Glenorchy is situated. This bay was to be named Blanket Bay after blankets used to create the shed and shelters used to protect the eight Maori shearers and the wool from the elements.

Playing in one of the most prestigious fields of the season, Amarillo native Ryan Palmer found himself in elite company after the first round of The Players Championship on Thursday, shooting a 5-under par 67 to tie him for fourth.
Palmer, who started on the back nine, bogeyed No. 11 but then got hot with five straight birdies to put himself immediately into contention. After two more birdies on the front nine to put him at 6-under, he double-bogeyed No. 8 and recovered with a birdie on his final hole at No. 9.
Among the players Palmer was tied with at the Stadium Course were Tiger Woods and Steve Stricker, who were among a half-dozen players tied for fourth.
Palmer is four shots behind leader Roberto Castro at 63.

Although Mardi Gras has become known as a rowdy celebration associated with New Orleans, La., the observance actually began as an ancient Christian tradition on the day before Ash Wednesday and the beginning of Lent. "Fat Tuesday" is the English translation of the French term "Mardi Gras." It was a day to clean out the cupboards and use up the foods that could not be eaten during Lent, when the faithful were to imitate Christ's 40 days of fasting in the desert.
The St. Francis Community is inviting the public to attend the Tiffin version of Mardi Gras Feb. 18 in Elizabeth Schaefer Auditorium, 190 St. Francis Ave. Sister Jaqueline Doepker, community minister, said the festivities are to run 6:30-10 p.m. with Cajun food and beverages, live entertainment, an auction of unique items, and mystery guests.
"I think it's going to be a wonderful combination of having fun and honoring the meaning of Mardi Gras," Doepker said. "This is our first attempt for a campus-wide event. Every entity is contributing in some way."
Proceeds from the event are to go into a fund that will be available to all the ministries on the campus, including the Sisters of St. Francis, Franciscan Earth Literacy Center, St. Francis Spirituality Center and St. Francis Senior Ministries.
Doepker said the CEOs for each ministry are to meet and decide on specific projects, depending on the funds generated.
"We know at St. Francis Home there are lots of repairs that are needed on the building that we can't afford to do out of the operating costs. There are programs that don't pay for themselves at FELC or scholarships that we give. I know next summer we're going to have another camp for the handicapped, and we'll be looking for some help with that," Doepker said. "We'll decide the wisest way to make sure all our sponsored ministries benefit from it."
Randy Carpenter and Theresa Kagy are preparing the food. Wine and beer are to be served and hurricanes - a special Mardi Gras drink made with lemon or lime juice, passion fruit syrup and rum - served in a hurricane glass. Revelers can enjoy roasted Cajun potatoes, beignets (fried dough, similar to fritters and dusted with powdered sugar), crab cakes, pralines, Cajun meatballs, Cajun deviled eggs, chicken, fresh fruit and King Cake. Doepker said the chefs have promised to use mild Cajun seasoning.
"Some of the older folks questioned that because their stomachs can't take the really hot, spicy stuff," she said.
The decorations are to be done in symbolic Mardi Gras colors: purple for justice, green for faith and gold for power. Party-goers do not need to dress formally or wear masks. Colorful beads will be available for guests.
The entertainment is to include six "celebrity" dancers who dance with guests for monetary donations. The dancers are to include "Granny" Doepker, Dr. Jack Felton, Tiffin Mayor Aaron Montz, St. Francis CEO Bob Hausie, Tiffin Tomorrow director Theresa Sullivan and Sister Charlotte Kessler, age 100. The top two contestants will have a dance-off to determine the final winner.
"Our dancing contest will not be like 'Dancing with the Stars.' It won't based on the artistic value of the dance. It will be on how much money each dancer raises," Doepker said.
Sister Shirley Shafranek is in charge of the live auction that is to feature 12 items related to the sisters' ministries or produced on the campus. They include a whiskey cake, an authentic German dinner for six, OSU afghan, pottery, a dessert a month for a year, a painting by Sister Paulette Schroeder, FELC free summer camp for a child, gift certificate for produce from the Seeds of Hope stand, massage, gift basket with a carving by Sister Emily Fox.
Doepker expressed gratitude for the corporate sponsors of Mardi Gras: Linda S. Ritzler, CPA; Hempy Water Conditioning Inc.; Clouse Electric, Ltd.; Old Fort Banking Co.; Jeffrey Jewelry; Quick Tab II; Viewpoint Graphics, Inc.; BJ Pallet; K.S. Wikoff; Lesher Printers; Diversified Graphics Inc.; Tiffin Scenic Studios; Sacksteder Worland Insurance Agency Inc.; The Doepker Group; Lenny and Lynn Clouse, Clouse Construction Corp.; Corporate One Benefits; Zellner Pharmacy; and Tiffin St. Joseph Federal Credit Union. Sponsors still are being accepted.
Tickets are $30 each, or two for $50, if purchased in advance. They can be found in Tiffin at: St. Francis Convent; St. Francis Spirituality Center; Law Offices of Lange, Devine and Claus; Law Offices of Dell Burtis and Anspach; Office of Linda Ritzler, CPA; Knights of Columbus; Tiffin Ace Hardware. Or call (419) 447-0435 to make reservations.
"We've had so much fun planning this. The committee sits there laughing every time we talk about what we're going to do. If the event is anything like the planning, its going to be a lot of fun," Doepker said.

Artist Todd Scalise looks back at decade of work at Urraro
Retrospectives are usually held by artists of advanced years, when there is more to reflect upon than there is to anticipate.
Todd Scalise is a young man, one who's breaking the mold by using his current Urraro Gallery exhibit "Illuminerie" -- a play on "illuminati" from Latin for "enlightened" -- as an opportunity to review the past 10 years of his career. The benefit of doing a retrospective at this point is it provides him -- and us -- with the knowledge that there's still so much to look forward to.
The show is comprised of 15 wall pieces and a number of smaller, designer wares such as neckties, tote bags and T-shirts. Many of the works were previously exhibited -- some here, some in such places as Santa Fe, N.M., New York and Paris. This is the first time they've been collected in one place, and what better place than the artist's hometown?
"The work in this exhibit evolved very gradually over several years," Scalise explains. "My influences are more readily apparent in these earlier works as compared to now." It's not hard to detect the impact of de Kooning, Miro and Warhol, and the effect that traditional, tribal artists from the Americas have had on his graphic sensibilities.
It's the way Scalise mashes up those elements that gives his creations his signature style. He references pop and primitive art in the same frame, the figurative and the abstract, reverence and impudence. As he says, "everything is permitted, and the more obscure -- or absurd -- the combination, the better."
The collection includes acrylic paintings, mixed-media pieces and what he calls "yarn paintings" -- latch-hook tapestries, each of which contains tens of thousands of hand-tied strands of yarn. One of Scalise's favorite pieces is a large-scale painting titled "The Armageddon Super Meal," his reaction to the jaw-dropping irony of McDonald's offering a Happy Meal tied to the release of the nightmarish global destruction film "Armageddon."
Elsewhere, the four horsemen of the apocalypse make an appearance, but so do prophets and shamans and skulls and doves and an iconic basketball-dunking silhouette. Scalise twists and turns and co-opts imagery to suit his own marvelously twisted means. The past becomes the present; art and business exist in a mocking but mutually beneficial and compulsory relationship. Each piece must be appraised on its own merit yet considered for its place in the entire body of Scalise's work.
There's a lot going on. At heart, though, it's perhaps best to approach the show as the early work of a young artist searching for his voice and his place. Scalise admits that these pieces "track the progress toward a more mature style," what he describes as "an allover highly graphic composition, elements that rarely touch but have gravity toward each other, and glyphic imagery that seems to fold in and out of abstraction."
Ten years of examination, experimentation, practice and perfection have led to an unmistakable, singularly Scalisean way of looking at the world.

Django Software Foundation Releases Django 1.2
1.2 offers improved security and permissions, may not be completely backwards-compatible.
The Django Foundation, creators of the popular Python-based Web framework of the same name, announced the release of Django 1.2 and with it come several new features. Django 1.2 now supports multiple database connections in a single instance. It also features "vastly" improved Cross-Site Request Forgery protection and hooks for permissions for anonymous users, improved username flexibility, and object-level permissions.
In addition, Django 1.2 supports both anonymous session-based messaging and cookie-based messaging for authenticated users.
Upgrading to 1.2 also ushers in some backwards incompatibility. Python 2.3 is no longer supported in Django 1.2. The improved Cross-Site Request Forgery protection framework is compatible with the previous system, but users of the old system won't be affected until Django 1.4, when the older famework is removed.
Authors of custom template tags should be advised that the internals have changed and are now subject to new rules. The LazyObject utility has been modified to support the Python introspection method, to avoid name clashes.
Django 1.2 is licensed under BSD and can be found at djangoproject.com/download/. With full release notes here.

I finally got Assassin's Creed III on Sunday after a month of waiting waiting and waiting and when I started playing I noticed something: man this is slow. I mean things were going slower than a snail's race; this wasn't normal of an Assassin's Creed game. From the start you are in the thick of things, performing silent assassinations, blending into crowds, and there was none of that; even the story was going nowhere which is surprising. Only after a few hours in did the twist happened: I had been playing a useless 3-4 prologue. The game hadn't actually started yet, what I was playing was just a setup for what was to come. The problem is it was totally unnecessary and hurt the game more than it should have.
To keep things spoiler free, all I'll say is you play a certain character and the only reason for playing this character is for a plot twist that ultimately doesn't work. Thinking back, there were signs that something was up: there weren't any activities to do except story missions, certain symbols and words were absent and the pacing was terrible. From the reviews I read beforehand warned me about the glacier speed beginning, but I wasn't expecting this. I wouldn't mind this if I was actually doing stuff, but since I wasn't I feel like it was a waste of time and the reason why ultimately doesn't make sense storywise. In fact the story loses some of its impact; there were a couple of ways Ubisoft could have done this twist different and improved the game dramatically.
Thankfully the game starts properly after this and I'm loving every minute of it. It's mindboggling to see such a misfire from Ubisoft, especially in one of their most popular series. If this twist was done differently, then ACIII would have been even better. Because of this, I'm thinking of getting the DLC, seeing if I can get some of my hours back.

In Cold Blood Killers' Bodies Exhumed in Kansas

The bodies of two men put to death for the 1959 murders made famous in Truman Capote's 1966 bestseller In Cold Blood – and subsequent film depictions – were exhumed Tuesday as detectives probe an unsolved 1959 quadruple homicide in Florida.
Investigators hope to see if DNA from Richard Hickock and Perry Smith, who were both hanged in 1965 for the grisly killing of the Herb and Bonnie Clutter family of Holcomb, Kan., matches any evidence in the equally brutal murder of the Cliff and Christine Walker family in Osprey, Fla.
"Maybe it will bring closure to the Walker family, and even after 53 years that would be a good thing," Kyle Smith, deputy director of the Kansas Bureau of Investigation, tells Reuters.
To the Associated Press, he added, "Obviously, where these perpetrators are dead, it's not going to result in any prosecution." Still, he conceded, "There's a lot of historical interest, as well."

DALLAS - From time to time, Marine Sgt. Barry Hanson has envisioned saving someone's life - maybe in Afghanistan or perhaps in Iraq.
But certainly not in a small town in East Texas.
Far from any battleground, the aviation electronics mechanic stationed in New Orleans came to the rescue when he learned that his bone marrow was a match for Rosemary Redfern.
"It wasn't exactly the way I pictured it in my overactive imagination," said Hanson, 25.
Redfern desperately needed a transplant because of a rare blood disease that can turn into a deadly form of leukemia.
The soft-spoken Marine and the 50-year-old Marshall woman who owes her life to him met for the first time Thursday - 16 months after her successful transplant.
"He is my life saver because if it wasn't for him, I wouldn't be here today," Redfern said. "He is just an angel to me."
Doctors and nurses at Baylor Charles A. Sammons Cancer Center in Dallas wiped away tears as Hanson and Redfern hugged and ate celebratory cake.
"The message of today is that miracles happen every day through the generous gifts of complete strangers," said Jane Stearns, manager of Baylor's Unrelated Stem Cell Donor Program.
Many patients die nationally every year waiting for a suitable donor - often because people who could help have not joined the National Marrow Donor Program, Stearns said.
In Redfern's case, doctors determined that none of her four sisters was a match.
A search of the national database found Hanson. While serving in Okinawa, Japan, the Marine had given blood and filled out a card agreeing to donate marrow if needed.
"The next thing you know, I get a phone call out of the blue and I'm in Washington, D.C.," he said.
On The Net:
National Marrow Donor Program: www.marrow.org
Baylor Health Care System: www.baylorhealth.com
Actually, two years passed before the call came. By then, the Stockport, Ohio, native was stationed at the Naval Air Station, Joint Reserve Base, in New Orleans.
After a series of blood tests to confirm the match, he underwent nearly a week of outpatient procedures to make the donation. The procedures ranged from mild discomfort, he said, to "a five or a six on the pain scale."
Hanson did not hesitate to help, even though he knew only that a woman, then 49, needed help.
Hospital rules prevented him from finding out her name until recently.

Next Potter film delays Imax release
I am devastated to read about the fact that Warner Bros. has chosen to delay the release of the Imax version of Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince. The delay isn't small either, it's two weeks. I'm not the only one upset as Imax shares have dropped from the news. "Shares of Imax dropped 4% on Monday to $7.31 after a Wall Street analyst said the delay 'should negatively impact Imax boxoffice results.'" While Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince opens on July 14, Imax theaters won't see the movie until July 29. The July release date actually overlaps Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen which is why the Imax date is being postponed. "Potter" contains 12 minutes of 3-D footage that moviegoers can experience only through Imax. Eric Wold said, "There will obviously be some consumers that choose to wait for the Imax version with its 3-D scenesRead more →By GamingAngel in Movies 1 Comment »

So Fresh WC and I went to the taping of Bachelorette: Men Tell All.
Last night, the program aired and… what do you know, they put 2 of the 4 guys in the audience on the air. As you can kind of tell from the screen caps below, Fresh WC was far less enthusiastic about being there than I. Click on the link above and I'm right at about the :30 mark in.
(I told him it would take a couple of hours. A couple turned into 8) Props to Big Nasty Hippy for the effort in getting these off the TV.
Looks like a pretty good deal, doesn't it now guys? You know, if every woman there didn't think I was gay.
This time I got some close up love from ABC. Still loving it.
Fresh WC. Not pissed about Bentley's no-show. But pissed at me. He's looking at me right then. Seriously.

To the Editor:—
I have noticed that at least twice in recent AMA journals the word tubercular has been used synonymously with tuberculous. Am I correct in believing that tubercular means "characterized by the presence of small nodules or tubercles," and that it is often used erroneously for tuberculous (source, Blakiston's New Gould Medical Dictionary 5th ed, 1949)? Tuberculous is defined by the above authority as "affected with, or caused by, tuberculosis." I believe this is a valid and important differentiation which it behooves medical men to recognize, so they will use the terms correctly.

UPDATE: Darren Dreger confirms McKenzie's report.
Teams may continue to call TBay on St Louis, but, as of now, Lightning are telling teams St Louis is locked on the New York Rangers. #tsn
— Darren Dreger (@DarrenDreger) February 27, 2014
While this is no earth shattering new information here, I think it's worth noting that this the first time that Tampa Bay has (indirectly) acknowledged St. Louis and New York as a potential marriage. More specifically, they're not telling teams that St. Louis can't or won't be traded, but rather that he can't or won't be traded, as of right now, to teams who aren't the "New York Rangers." It's a bit of semantics, but it should be identified as a small step by Tampa in terms of loosening their grip and preparing to move on from St. Louis.
Original Post: What a crazy few days this has been. Two weeks ago nobody would have even considered the idea that Martin St. Louis would retire anywhere besides Tampa Bay nor would the Lightning even listen to offers on their captain. Now, Bob McKenzie, previously skeptical that St. Louis would go anywhere, is reporting otherwise on TSN's 1050.
Mckenzie "my understanding is that St.Louis asked for a trade, still wants a trade and is willing to only go to the Rangers"
— Hope_Smoke (@Hope_Smoke) February 26, 2014
However, McKenzie also believes Tampa Bay could opt to deal with the increasingly hostile situation in the summer.
McKenzie "Yzerman does not feel obliged by the deadline. This could drag into the summer"
— Hope_Smoke (@Hope_Smoke) February 26, 2014
Keep reading for my take.
Things can change and maybe St. Louis and Yzerman make up. It wouldn't be the first time a trade request was reppealed. That being said, it's looking increasingly likely that Martin St. Louis is going to be moved eventually, and specifically to the Rangers. As it currently stands, we're likely looking at "when" St. Louis is moved; not "if."
As with everything, Steve Yzerman is left with weighing risk against reward. More specifically, the positives of hanging onto his team's leading scorer against the potential disaster that would be embarking on a Stanley Cup chase with a captain who does not want to be there and the ensuing media circus.
And that's the big issue here. People have placed skepticism on prospect of the Lightning making a move. "Why would Yzerman trade St. Louis?" The answer is because he might have no choice. Columbus wanted absolutely nothing to do with a Rick Nash trade, either. And similarly, Nash's no-trade clause allowed him to handpick potential destinations. Eventually, Columbus saw the writing on the wall and realized that there was no choice but to accept 50 cents on the dollar for Nash from the Rangers.
Yzerman faces a similar inevitability. If St. Louis truly wants a move to New York and isn't changing his mind, then Yzerman is going to be putting a lot of stress on the rest of the players and coaches by keeping him. Plus, who knows if St. Louis has even reached his limit here.He's disgruntled and restless now; how much worse can and will things get if March 5th passes and Yzerman blew off St. Louis' request to move?
We come back to the idea of measuring the risk/reward of keeping St. Louis against moving him. If Glen Sather calls up Yzerman dramatically lowballing him then running with St. Louis and hoping things work out is the clear choice. But if Sather offers up Callahan and maybe another lesser piece, which all reports indicate is likely, then it's a tremendous gamble to decline. We learned from the Brad Richards and Rick Nash acquistions that, once Glen Sather identifies his target, he gets him. He's been in the game forever and knows all the right buttons to push. He'll get the media against you until he's suffocating you like a cobra. And then he gets his man. Even if Yzerman doesn't want to pull the trigger, he's being backed into a corner and might just not have a choice.

Our feed The Birds event this weekend was a massive success and really drew in the crowds, the site was exceptionally busy all weekend and it was a fantastic weekend. On top of this, we had a fire at the back of Sandy Ridge on Sunday and six fire engines attended to deal with it.We had some great birds-a black redstart sat on top of the roof looking down on the Feed The Birds event at The Lodge, ravens flew over, an osprey was seen again, perched on a dead tree on the new heath with a fish,the woodlarks were also again on the new heath,crossbills and bramblings flew over and to top it all, the stunning firecrest in the picture was ringed, alongside a goldcrest, for a perfect comparison opportunity!
Another good sighting this morning, a merlin was seen dashing over the new heath- I wonder what's next on this great run?

TRENTON, N.J. (AP) -- New Jersey is giving $44 million to six financially struggling hospitals to help keep their doors open during the economic crisis.
Gov. Jon Corzine says the money is needed to make sure that the poor have access to health care.
Half the money is going to Jersey City Medical Center. St. Mary's Hospital in Passaic will receive $7 million.
East Orange General Hospital and Newark Beth Israel Medical Center will get $5 million each. Raritan Bay Medical Center in Perth Amboy will get $4 million, and Kimball Medical Center in Lakewood will receive $1 million.
To be eligible to receive the money, hospitals had to meet several criteria:
--They had to be in danger of closing or significantly cutting back on services.
--They had to serve a significant number of uninsured, underinsured or Medicaid patients.
--And they had to demonstrate efforts to be more efficient.

Year's Most Shocking Moments
Blood, Sweat and Spears. A Tick-Tock of the Explosive Designs That Shook the Fashion World
Immaterial girl J. Lo used the Oscars to get something off her chest—the lining to the top of her Chanel ensemble. Deeming the resulting view not ready for prime time, during the ceremony ABC confined its close-ups of Lopez to head shots only.
On Oscar night the X-Files star was singing the thong song in a low-riding Eduardo Lucero. Despite s the exposure, "it has a sense of mystery," claims Lucero of the dress, which later brought $3,600 at a charity auction for neurofibromatosis research.
While Emmy viewers were busy adjusting their vertical holds, Davis was sporting nothing but a G-string beneath her skintight psychedelic Pamela Dennis. "Of course I knew that dress was sheer," Davis told The New York Times. "It showed exactly as much as I wanted to show."
It took daring and double-sided tape, admitted the best female R & B vocal performance winner of her Richard Tyler Grammy dress, held somewhat together with a built-in thong. "I figured before I got married and had babies, I'd wear this," explained Braxton, who wed musician Keri Lewis in April.
Beating fashion critics tc the inevitable punch line, the Icelandic singer and Oscar nominee paused to lift her handmade swan costume by London-based designer Marjan Pejoski and lay an egg(-shaped purse). "It's not about shocking," Pejoski says. "It's about little surprises and little jokes."
The teen queen socked it to trend watchers during the Super Bowl halftime show in Tampa, sporting cut-off tube socks on her arm. Worn with customized foot-3 ball pants, "it completely made sense," says her stylist Bart (of the design duo Kurt & Bart) about the look, later sold by Urban Outfitters.
For their first newlywed Christmas, the pair (at the L.A. premiere of Original Sin in July) exchanged pendants containing drops of each other's blood. "We're apart a lot and it means everything to us," says Jolie. Aw, shucks.

New Deal for a Suffering Nation?
Deaglán de Bréadún
Due to some technical glitch, this Inside Politics column from last Saturday doesn't appear in the normal way on the website (except for the e-paper of course) which means I don't get the usual comments from readers. Here it is and any civil response is most welcome.
We are told that when innocent Russians were arrested and taken to
Stalin's concentration camps in the 1930s, their initial reaction was,
"Za chto?" or, in English, "What for?"
Irish citizens might be excused for reacting in the same way when they
look at the punishment meted out to them for economic crimes that they
did not commit.
We all know who was to blame: the banks, the property speculators and
a political system that was dozing at the wheel.
We are the ones paying the price but the message from our ruling élite
is that, if we grit our teeth and make the necessary sacrifices, then,
in the words of the old song, "There's a good time coming".
Even with a change of government in the next few months there will be
no short-term relief, just a redistribution of the pain to other parts
of the body politic.
A feeling that there was greater "parity of pain" in the official
response to the crisis might be some consolation but it would be a
palliative, rather than a permanent cure for public discontent.
Yet the depth of the crisis is such that it is bound to have political
consequences. Our economy has been hit by a life-threatening disease,
not just a head-cold or dose of the 'flu.
Something's got to give. There has to be a change in the political
culture. Our economy may be subject to epidemics or even plagues, but
we cannot allow ourselves to be caught unawares and unprepared like
this in the future.
One is reminded of the celebrated Daily Mirror cartoon by Philip Zec
at the end of the second World War, portraying a wounded soldier
limping home with the laurels of victory and peace and the heartfelt
plea: "Don't lose it again!"
When Noel Browne became Minister for Health with the inter-party
government in 1948, the Irish people were cowering before the wrath of
a dragon called Tuberculosis. When he left in 1951, that dragon had been slain.
That was a proud achievement. So too was Donogh O'Malley's
introduction of free secondary education – a move that was engineered
by himself and Sean Lemass when the finance minister in that
government, Jack Lynch, was out of the country. It was in turn a
reaction to Fine Gael's progressive "Just Society" policies at the
We need to get in touch with our inner Noel Browne and Donogh
O'Malley. We need to slay the dragon of financial insecurity,
inequality and fear of the future.
In Britain the sacrifices of 1939-45 were followed by a post-war
settlement based on achieving full employment, greatly-expanded social
services, free universal healthcare and enhanced educational opportunity.
The prospect of reaching that promised land must have sustained many a
citizen in the dark days of conflict. The notion seems to be gaining
currency that a similar ideal is needed here, to get us through the
tough times.
Browne and O'Malley were members of fairly conservative and cautious
governments but their success showed that if you are stubborn and
committed enough and can acquire the requisite funding, you will
achieve your aim. Browne had access to Hospital Sweepstakes money and
O'Malley used the Taoiseach of the day to circumvent Department of
Finance restrictions.
The economic turmoil here and elsewhere, especially in Greece, has
been accompanied by a less overt, but nevertheless real, crisis of
democratic legitimacy.
Opposition parties may crow over the Government's poor showing in the
opinion polls but if they were in power, the likelihood is that they,
too, would be "taking a hit". People have lost a good deal of faith in
our democratic institutions and their ability to cope with a crisis.
The only way to remedy this is to convince the populace that things
will never be the same again.
One of the features of the 1945 British general election was the
numbers of young soldiers in uniform who contravened the regulations
by going on political platforms to say they were not prepared to
resume civilian life under the conditions that prevailed in the
previous decade.
The hardships of today cannot be compared with the 1930s but the
essential point remains that we need something better than politics as
It is said that the words of "There is a good time coming" were sung
by passengers on the emigrant ships as they sailed into New York
harbour from the Old World: we need a New World here in Ireland, but
who will give it to us?
The next Dail is likely to have a very wide representation from across
the political spectrum. The indications are that the electorate
is in the mood to test new programmes and try fresh approaches. There
is a lot of wild talk about "burning the bondholders" and cutting our
links with the euro, but it's all part of a rich, new tapestry.
We shall definitely see a large number of fresh faces and it promises
to be an assembly like no other in our recent history. Perhaps out of
that mix, ideas could emerge to ensure that a bright spring and summer
will follow the winter of our discontent,
We are entering upon a critical but potentially exciting and
innovative period in our political development. It would be good to
think that, in the process, the obvious faults and flaws in the system
would be eliminated.
It would be good to think that clientelism and cronyism could be
brought under control and manners put on the banks and financial
institutions. It is time to end the sense of entitlement that
privileged sectors of our society feel as they pay themselves enormous
salaries and bonuses.
At present, homeless people are sleeping rough within fifty metres of
the Leinster House front gate: it is time to end that shame. Can we do
it? To coin a phrase: Yes, we can.

Malcolm Tulip's U-M department of theatre and drama production of Peter Barnes' "Red Noses" succeeds in building the darkly comic, absurd world depicted in the text.
The question is whether you'll want to spend a little over 3 hours (the play's running time) within its borders.
Set in 1342 France, when the country is in the terrifying grip of the Black Plague, "Red Noses" tells the story of a Catholic monk, Flote (Ben Blackman), who determines that his mission is to be the "clown of God." To bring laughter to those suffering unimaginable pain and loss, Flote gathers a band of misfit performers called the Red Noses.
And while the time of this deadly epidemic is bleak, the time that follows it's end may be even more so, with Pope Clement VI (Philip Maxwell) - who hid from his pitiable followers to protect himself from illness - stepping in to assert the church's power in ugly ways.
If that portrayal sounds potentially offensive, well, just wait, there's more: a lusty nun, Marguerite (Zoe Kanters), in her first scene, begs to be raped by a mercenary named Brodin (Lucas Kane); and later, two prostitutes assume a large variety of sexual positions on stage while two gold-bedecked "merchants" have their way.
One could argue that Marguerite is desperate to feel alive, and to possibly create life, in the face of death, but hearing a female character ask to be raped - and being expected to laugh at her anxious request - was a deal-breaker I couldn't get past. And while the highly exaggerated prostitutes/merchants scene may illuminate precisely how humans are reduced to our basic animal instincts and desires when civilization crumbles, it felt over-long and, consequently, a bit fetishistic.
Barnes clearly aims to be provocative, of course, but he's also pretty preachy. Yes, this is a morality play, but after signing on to the first act's commedia sense of absurdity, it's hard to shift to a more ham-fisted "good guys vs. bad guys" vibe in act two. That having been said, the production's conclusion packs a satisfying punch. It just takes quite a while to get there.
Regardless, Tulip's cast is solid. As Flote, Blackman is outstanding, conveying a guileless, all-in level of enthusiasm that makes you understand why other lost souls would follow him. Kanters is fierce as Marguerite, drawing the crowd in every time she's on stage. Melissa Golliday turns in a hilarious performance as Le Grue, a blind juggler; and Maxwell makes Clement deceptively charming, particularly with mid-soliloquy ad libs like, "Oh, I found a nickel." That, along with him singing a line or two from the Hokey Pokey while having his shoes placed on his feet, made him more charming than a villain should be.
Indeed, opening night's little explosions of spontaneity - Blackman nearly tumbled off a table at one point, recovering with a big, relieved smile while still delivering his lines - got some of the biggest laughs, demonstrating that the audience was pouncing upon opportunities to giggle. This would seem to indicate that the show's mood lived more in the realm of "dark" than "comedy," despite vaudevillian jokes and bits (like characters drawing a sword on paper).
Mary Cole's excellent lighting design plays no small role in the realization of the play's death-haunted world, with the opening scenes happening in near-darkness until a bright spotlight finds Flote, like a spiritual highlighter. Justin Lang's scenic design, with a backdrop covered in sheets of waxy plastic, suggests a paltry attempt to protect what remains. Costume designer Kelsey Socha seizes upon the script's many opportunities for creativity (like the play's 3 lepers) and attention to detail (Flote's robes being stained with mud). And sound designer Henry Reynolds enhances the overall feel by way of percussive undercurrents, as well Clement's amplified, echoing voice.
The production is polished, and Tulip's vision, from a design and performance standpoint, is well-executed. Tulip often brings off-the-beaten-path, audience-challenging works to the stage - something I value - and "Red Noses" is ambitious, in that it repeatedly collapses tragedy with comedy, only to take us somewhere completely unexpected. But perhaps by virtue of trying to be too many things, the play loses the power that builds in its best moments.

Trent closed the hood of the old pick-up truck, wiped his hands off on a rag, and as everyone else does these days, quickly checked his surroundings. He looked over to Jessie, who was trying to get Rosco to hold still so she could check him over for bite marks. She noticed Trent looking back to her and checked her wrist watch. "Got about three minutes hun." she said to him. "Ohp!" he exclaimed and quickly ran to the back of the truck. He hopped into the back and pulled out a heavy tarp. The tarp was a specially crafted tarp lined with a thick coat of lead lining. He spread it over the truck and, with Jessie now helping, nailed the corners down to the ground via metal stakes. The two looked up into the sky and waited. A loud click was heard in the distance, followed by a loud yet low roar coming closer and closer. The clouds cleared as if being pushed away and the wind came cutting through the area, kicking up plenty of dirt in the process.
Jessie checked her watch again. "Should wait about five minutes till we untarp it." she said. Trent put her arm around her shoulder. "Tired?" he asked. She shook her head. "I'll live." she said. "Ain't use to sleeping lately anyway." Trent then looked into the distance at a small cyclone of wind picked up dirt. "Yeah..." he said. "How's Rosco?" he asked. Jessie looked back at the dog, who was sniffing around at the ground, pawing at a small bug. "Seems fine." she answered. "Not bleeding anywhere, doesn't seem sick or anything." She then looked back down at her watch. "Two more minutes." She said.
Trent walked back to the bar they were parked in front of and picked up two bottles of water from a box sitting by the door. He handed one over to Jessie, opened the other and poured half of it into a bowl next to the box. He brought the bowl over to Rosco and sat it down in front of him. The dog immediately began lapping up the water. Trent scratched behind Rosco's ear and stood back up. "Good boy." he said as he walked back over to the truck.
He sipped the water and began to take the tarp off of the truck. He and Jessie folded it up and put it in the trucks bed. He opened the door and started it up. It was slow to start, but revved up beautifully after that. Trent chuckled. Jessie looked at the truck with a smirk. "Well I'll be damned." she said. "I knew I kept you around for a good reason." she said to Trent jokingly. He laughed. "Oh yeah?" he returned with an even bigger grin. "Any other reason you can think of perhaps?" Her face slowly turned red and her eyes floated over to the side. "Oh I can think of a few..."
Just then the two were interrupted by Roscos barking. They quickly looked over to the dog and their eyes followed to where he was looking at. A man staggered down the road, covered in blood. "A dead head?" Jessie asked. Trent was about to answer, but the man brought his hand up, showing a pistol. "That ain't no dead head!" he said as the two bolted for cover behind the tuck. A shot was fired and it zipped by overhead. "You som' bitch!" the man yelled. "Kill my crew!" he shoots another shot as her nears. "Get the damn dead'ins after us!" Fires again. "Take our shit and plan to get away!" Fires another shot. "Karmas a bitch you little brats! God will see me get what I am due!"
"That 'Rat' guy?" Trent said to himself while ducked behind the truck with Jessie, who was holding on to Rosco. "What?" said Jessie, confused. "You gonna sit back here and wait for us to get shot or are you gonna do something about him?" she asked impatiently. Trent held out his hands and shook his head. "I ain't got a gun.... They're still in the bar." he said. She lightly smacked him on the arm. "What're you doing not carrying one on you?" Another shot fires and zips past them. "Hes goin to run out of rounds if he keeps going on like that. Hes only carrying six to nine rounds in that thing if its fully loaded and he doesnt seem too concerned with accuracy right now."
The voice drew closer as Rat continued to rant. "I'ma gut you like a goddamn fish, eat yer damn mutt and keep that little whore of yours for myself! Till I get tired of that beat up jailbait and throw her out to the damn eaters!" His gun then clicked. He looked at it and tossed it aside. "Come on out here big man!" he yelled. "Lets see what you got when you ain't runnin scared!" Trent looked to Jessie. "He's out." he said, then quickly stood up and grabbed his bat from the bed of the truck. He starts walking closer to the deranged man but stops before getting close. "Look sir, I ain't the type to go lookin for trouble." said Trent. "You got a funny way of avoiding it, you little shit!" said Rat. "Hey," said Trent. "You and your boys started this crap when you ganged up on us, I tried to walk away!"
Rat shook his head rapidly. "Excuses and bullshit kid!" he said, then started to stagger his way to Trent. Trent slowly pointed the bat at him. "Now you stay the hell away from us, you hear?" he said. Rat then started to laugh, his laughter grew as he collapsed onto the dirt. He then started convulsing and writhed around in pain. His laugh turned into growls, his sarcastic smile turned to grimace. His eyes hazed, his mouth and ears bled. He started to stand again, a different man completely. Already dead inside.
"Shit." Trent said under his breath. He walked over to the man and raised his bat. It cracked down on Rats skull as blood splattered every which way. The body lay there, motionless. Trent looked down to him and sighed. "I'm sorry." he said.

Homeless Man Receives Surprising Reward After Returning Diamond
Category: Media & Culture
/ Feb 26, 2013 4:16PM EDT
U.S. homeless man, Billy Ray Harris, has become a local celebrity after returning a diamond engagement ring that was mistakenly given to him. Sarah Darling accidentally dropped the ring into Harris' cup when she gave him spare change. He discovered the ring and decided to hold on to it. When Darling realized the ring was missing, she returned to Country Club Plaza in Kansas City, Missouri where Harris panhandles, and he returned the diamond. "I'm just so grateful," Darling told Harris when they reunited recently. "I could tell exactly how much it meant to you, the moment I held it up like that," Harris told her. The story has received national and international attention, but Harris remains a bit uncomfortable with the recognition. "It's more stressful than what I'm doing right now," he said. Harris remains modest about his deed. "What I'm actually feeling like, is what has the world come to when a person returns something that don't belong to them, and all this happens," he said. As a result of the attention, Harris has been in contact with his sister Robin for the first time in almost two decades, after she saw a report from her home in Wichita Falls, Texas. "Sixteen years later, we just found out that he's still living," she said. "That is a gift. I've been so worried about my sister. My baby sister and my middle sister, they are my best friends in the whole world," a happy Harris told a KCTV reporter who gave him his sister's phone number. Robin said Harris was welcome to come home. "I want him to come home, but we can't make him come home, but I want him to know that we love him and we miss him," she said. Harris said being in contact with his sister, is his "biggest reward." Darling's fiancé has begun an Internet campaign to raise money for Harris. As of Tuesday, February 26, it has raised over $150,000 on but that figure could grow much higher in the 79 days left in the 90-day fundraiser. (Video Source: Reuters)

The Google Street View images are getting bigger and bolder. And a little random.
Perhaps for fun, the Street View team recently ventured into a car wash in Arizona to visually capture the inner workings of car washing machinery.
If that's too low-brow for you, the Google Cultural Institute and the Eiffel Tower Operating Company have a new project that may be of interest.
The Institute houses several beautiful exhibits online and there's a panoramic experience of the Burj Khalifa in Dubai, but Google has gone one step further with the famous Parisian landmark.
In addition to being an immersive 360 degree experience, visitors of the website can also learn about the Tower through historical images, plans and engravings.
With the introduction of photo sphere announced at Google IO earlier this year, and this level of involvement from the Street Team, it seems like you won't need to travel very far to see the world...or how your car is cleaned.
More blips!

Hershey to Make Acquisitions Priority for Use of Cash, CEO Says
Hershey Co. Chief Executive Officer John P. Bilbrey said acquisitions will be the priority for the chocolate maker's cash as the company looks to take confectionery-market share in North America and expand abroad.
The company sees $10 billion in potential local and regional acquisitions across the globe, Chief Growth Officer Michele Buck said today during an investor meeting in New York that was webcast. Including other categories such as sweet snacks, acquisition opportunities total as much as $30 billion, Buck said.
Hershey is seeking to surpass Mars Inc. to become the largest confectionery company in North America. The 2008 purchase of Wm. Wrigley Jr. Co. by Mars created the world's biggest candy maker. Hershey is targeting China to be its second-largest market, after the U.S., within five years as it strives to boost revenue to $10 billion. Last year, Hershey had sales of $6.1 billion. The company also sees significant opportunity in India.
The Hershey, Pennsylvania-based chocolate maker passed on a chance to buy Cadbury Plc in 2010. Kraft Foods Inc. purchased Cadbury that year. Hershey had $567.3 million in cash and equivalents on April 1, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.
Hershey fell 0.5 percent to $69.18 at 11:01 a.m. in New York. The shares had risen 12 percent this year through June 22.

China Should Control Pace of Reactor Construction, Outlook Says
China must avoid building too many nuclear power reactors too quickly, the research unit of the State Council, or Cabinet, wrote in Outlook Weekly.
The country should set a 2020 ceiling on reactors in operation at 70,000 megawatts to avoid a shortfall of fuel, equipment and qualified plant workers, the government-controlled unit said in a commentary in the weekly magazine published by the official Xinhua News Agency.
China is increasing the share of non-fossils fuels in its energy mix to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. The country had 9,080 megawatts of nuclear capacity in operation as of 2009 and 21,920 megawatts under construction, the China Electricity Council says.
To lower safety risks, China should focus on developing reactors based on the third-generation AP1000 design instead of older, second-generation technology, according to the commentary. The AP 1000 reactor is manufactured by Westinghouse Electric Co., a unit of Toshiba Corp.

Optimal Portfolios for the Long Run

September 4, 2013
There is surprisingly little agreement among academics about the existence of time diversification, which we define as the anomaly where equities become less risky over longer investment periods. This study provides the most thorough analysis of time diversification conducted, using 113 years of historical data from 20 countries (over 2,000 years of total return data). We construct optimal portfolios for 20 different countries based on varying levels of investor risk aversion and time horizons using both overlapping and distinct historical time periods.
We find strong historical evidence to support the notion that a higher allocation to equities is optimal for investors with longer time horizons, and that the time diversification effect is relatively consistent across countries and that it persists for different levels of risk aversion. We also note that the time diversification effect increased throughout the 20th century despite evidence of a declining risk premium. Although time diversification has been criticized as inconsistent with market efficiency, our empirical results suggest that the superior performance of equities over longer time horizons exists across global equity markets and time periods.

There have been six robins the first one (dick grayson) became Nightwing, the second one (jason Todd) was killed by joker then ressurected by ras al ghul and became the red hood and also there is Timothy drake (the current robin). now eventually down the line Batman has a a son with talia and he becomes robin for a while his name is damian wayne, but he eventually becomes batman after batman dies so i guess there was technically 7 robins (and its way in the future) but w/e now there were also 3 female robins as well Stephanie Brown who was Tim Drakes gf at the time, but she eventually gets fired for being reckless and later on gets killed in The War Games series of comics. Batman's fiancee Julie Madison was robin for a bit and lastly Carrie Kelly from The Dark Knight Returns comic series.
