Review: 'Conan' debuts on TBS
A late night talk show is a marathon, not a sprint, and when someone begins a new show, or a newcomer takes over an old one, there's a sense that you should wait a while before forming an opinion. Jimmy Fallon, for instance, was a disaster on his "Late Night" debut, and has by now carved out an entertaining little niche for himself.
With the first episode of "Conan," Conan O'Brien's new TBS talk show, snap judgments feel more fair. Conan's been in the late night game for close to 20 years, knows what he wants to do and, after stumbling early in his "Tonight Show" stint in a futile attempt to get the Leno fans to like him, has rediscovered his rhythms. Though much of the material in the first episode of "Conan" was about his uncomfortable departure from NBC, the show itself felt not unlike an episode of "Late Night" or one of his later "Tonight Show" outings.
It was Conan at his most comfortable, going through the familiar rituals of a late night show (monologue, desk piece, interviews, musical performance), bantering with Andy Richter, etc. It was a Conan O'Brien talk show, and that in and of itself had to be satisfying for the many members of Team Coco who flocked to his final "Tonight" days, followed his Twitter feed, went to one of his live stage shows, etc.
But if it felt much like an episode of one of Conan's old shows, the "Conan" debut also felt like a middle-of-the-pack example. Some funny bits, some other obligatory moments, and a good feeling to have the guy back, but nothing extraordinary like, say, his final week on "Tonight."
Conan of course had to tell some NBC jokes, which he did early and often. The taped cold open about his unemployed time in the wilderness had some nice moments (you can see the whole thing below), like Conan being gunned down like Sonny Corleone on the causeway, or Conan begging Don Draper from "Mad Men" for a job. On the other hand, even though most of us can agree he got a raw deal at NBC, he needs to cool it with the jokes about how much less he's making, given the economy and how much the public knows about his NBC severance, his ownership of the new show, etc.
The monologue was also heavy on the NBC material - my favorite was Conan observing that he left NBC because he wouldn't go on at midnight, "So I get this job at eleven. Then, yesterday, Daylight Savings Time ended - so right now it's basically midnight." - but also had Conan trying to work in every major news event from his hiatus into a single punchline. (That was a case of Conan and his writers recognizing how far they needed to take the joke to get the laugh, as it wasn't working at all until he paused after mentioning the BP oil spill and said, simply, "Brett Favre's penis.") And I will, of course, never object to an appearance by the Masturbating Bear, here inserted into a local newscast's lottery drawing.
The highlight of the episode came post-monologue, as we got to see Andy back on the couch with Conan, bantering like the good old days, with Andy sneakily dropping all the best lines. (When they each tried on a Halloween mask of Conan that, for legal reasons, had been named "Ex Talk Show Host," Andy sniffed and said, "Inside, it smells like tears.") For much of their brief time on "Tonight," Andy seemed reluctant to cross that divide from announcer back to traditional sidekick, but that's one tradition where the two have always excelled, and it was a pleasure to see that familiar chemistry.
After that, we got a talk show, with the usual pre-researched questions for guests Seth Rogen (who was determined to push the limits of what he could say on TBS) and Lea Michele. The Rogen interview was the stronger of the two, if only for Conan's giddy laughter when Rogen mentioned that he had first studied martial arts at the Vancouver Jewish Community Center, but neither was particularly memorable.
The most notable change from the old days came at the end, when Conan joined musical guest Jack White on-stage to duet on Eddie Cochran's rockabilly classic "Twenty Flight Rock." That was a reminder not only of Conan's closing moments on "Tonight," where he jammed on "Free Bird" with Beck, Billy Gibbons, Ben Harper and some other special guests, and of the "Legally Prohibited From Being Funny on Television" live tour, where Conan's musical performances were a staple. His joy during those performances is infectious, and hopefully he'll find opportunities from time to time to strap on the guitar during the show.
The other day, I wrote a column about how I was glad to have Conan back on TV, but hoped he might be willing to reinvent the wheel, since I'd lost any real interest in the traditional talk show format a long time ago. Conan clearly doesn't want to do that, nor should he have to, but his TBS debut confirmed my feeling that I'm not likely to be a regular "Conan" viewer.

Lake Weissensee, Austria

I've been diving for almost 15 years, but due to family matters it has fallen off my list lately. So a new picture assignment at Lake Weissensee in mid-February 2013 just came right to my diver's heart: The Underwater Ice hockey Championships.

The tragedy of Dutch Prince Johan Friso, who was buried in an avalanche while skiing in Austria last February and who has since been in a coma, generated the idea to shoot a story about freeride skiing and how ski professionals are trying to minimize any possible risks.
Heitwerwang, Austria
By Dominic Ebenbichler
Tourists or foreigners have to look twice when attending a Perchten festival in the western Austrian region of Tyrol. Some probably think there is something wrong with the countryfolk – dressing up like demons, wearing head to toe animal skins and wooden masks, behavior that could easily be associated with some kind of a devil's cult. It just doesn't seem to be normal.
Vienna, Austria

A collector once said: "When you buy your first pinball machine, it is fine with your wife. When you buy your second pinball machine, she asks "Why? You have one already". After number three and four she believes you must be crazy. But after the fifth pinball machine she proudly tells her friends that her husband is a collector.'

It was a beautiful late summer day with blue sky and not a single cloud when I went to the village of Piber some 200 km (124 miles) west of Vienna to see the world famous Lipizzaner horses. Well, actually, the 40 young studs were not famous yet, but some of them would be selected to become famous some day – members of the Spanish Riding School in Vienna.

An unsettling night followed this story. It felt as if something was scuttling on my skin. It was a tickling feeling which made me scratch and I saw bugs bustling around in my mind's eye. In the morning I could not remember exactly what I had dreamed, but the one thing I knew, all night long I had heard the buzz in my head.
By Tyrone Siu
An elegant black swan sliding silently on the lake, cutting into the reflection of European style wooden houses and church clock tower in the water – the rare image radiated a moment of peacefulness in my mind until it was disrupted by a loud thundering sound of a truck passing by. It was not until then that I paid a closer look to the bird and found it to be a dark duck – another small replica, as part of a massive copycat project from China.
By Lisi Niesner
This is not a story of knights; no knight's armor, no knight's castles – not even swords. It does consist of plenty of honor, pride, old-fashioned traditions and to top it off a codex. Now when I imagine the Middle Ages, I believe some farmers must have been quite close to chivalry.

2015-16 Arts & Events Season
Thank you for helping us "raise the curtain" on another amazing arts and events season. Your presence is truly the catalyst for the success of our performances on William Peace University's campus and our vibrant season this year.
Interested in the lineup for the 2015-16 Season Program? The 2015-16 season brings continued programmatic expansion supported by community partnerships, advertisers, ticket buyers and our internal company members from the William Peace Theatre, phenoMEnal, Vocal MasterPEACE, the William Peace University Singers, and more!
Are you a prospective student interested in the Bachelor of Fine Arts Musical Theatre program or B.A. in Theatre program? If so, we'd love to have you visit campus or come audition with us!
Since 2011 when WPU adopted the Bachelor of Fine Arts majors, our talented students, artists, actors, singers and dancers, as well as guest artists, have performed to rave reviews and sold out crowds. And, we hope you will be with us each step of the way this year to "pack our houses" for these talented, aspiring performers.
Of course, as season's change, so does our lineup of programs. Thanks to WPU's Arts and Events Committee, made up of community members, students, faculty and staff, we are offering an extensive selection of theatre and musical theatre productions, guest speakers, a lunch and learn series, conversations, concerts, academic programming and more. We are also trying several new things, and we need your feedback.
We offer general admission and assigned seating tickets to events. Varying programs, prices and free options have been sprinkled together, and we want to know how we are doing. If you like a performance, tell us and don't be shy! It will help us make your WPU experience the best it can be. After all, our vision is to provide our students with a venue to share their talents alongside world-class artists, lecturers and musicians, and to give you, the audience member, something to come back for at William Peace University.
You asked, and we listened! With your feedback from last season, we have also found multiple ways for you to get involved this year. At each performance, you will find a sign-up sheet for volunteer opportunities, as well as a gift envelope in your program. Your support helps us provide future programming and renowned artists to campus.
Of course, we couldn't do any of this without the great support of our community partners: Sara Jo Allen Manning '58 '60 and the North Carolina Symphony, Duke Energy, Fifth Third Bank, the North Carolina Theatre Conservatory, and the many generous sponsors you'll see in our playbills this year, as well as each of you who have either attended a performance or made a gift.
We hope you will make WPU your arts destination this year!

Finally taking my drawing and watercolor to a more professional ground. Love the Strathmore Bristol board for its smooth surface, and the way it takes my watercolor without drinking or pulling. Gorgeous product and I will buy again

Strathmore Bristol 400 series paper. I use this paper for high quality colored pencil drawings. My order arrived quickly and in perfect condition. I can get the same paper at a brick and mortar store in my area, but their salespeople act like you're interrupting their day when you're ready to check out, so I vowed to find another source for this paper. I will order from Blick again.

Great Product
By Perry
from Montgomery, AL
I used the product for ink work, pens, india ink and stamping. It has a great smooth surface and the pens especially look nice on the paper. The only thing I would look out for is keeping your hands off the bristol while you work. It has buckled in a few places from where my hand was.

Excellent for comic work!
By Sookart
from Cambria, CA
Buying Strathmore 400 series bristol 4 PLY is a great purchase for illustration. The key is 4 PLY! It is near the heft of illustration board but still usable on a light box when necessary. At the same time it is heavy enough of a board that it holds up under a heavy application of wet media i.e. ink and or watercolor, acrylic, colored pencil etc. The smooth surface provides a terrific surface for slick lines and textured dry-brush alike. and it is great to draw on because you can erase and erase without damaging the surface texture. One drawback in buying large sheets is having to cut them down yourself. However, one 22x30 sheet yields three 11x17 standard size comic boards or two 15x20 standard illo board size pieces when cut properly. Worth an hour of time to trim them up and possibly use some for oversized work when needed.

Hard to find in art stores, a good buy here on Block's. A good weight. I use with gouache,oil based marker and ink. Bright white, very smooth surface takes paint beautifully, preserves integrity of the ink line fairly well. Don't make a mistake, it cannot be erased very well without damaging the paper

Actually Reviewing the Paper
By G Rat
from SSSSSSSSeattle, WA
I saw that my favorite paper to work with only had one review on here, and it was given 1-star. I couldn't believe it! Then I read the review and saw that this guy was complaining about the shipping, and some kinds of marks on the paper -- he gave this bristol a 1-star review because of the CONDITION of the paper he received, not the quality of the paper itself. That, my friends, is not a very good review.I am an inker, and it took me soooooo long to find a paper that I like to work with. The Strathmore 400 Smooth is hands down the best bristol I've ever used. The 300 series 'smooth' and the 500 series 'plate' are too smooth, and I generally don't like working on vellum (unless I know that I won't be doing any pen work at all). The 400 Series smooth is perfect. It's not like the 300 or 500, so smooth and shiny you can almost see your reflection in it -- the 400 has a little texture to it. But it's still smooth enough that my nips never snag. Also, since it's not as shiny as the other two, it doesn't take too long for ink to dry when you're working with pen (brush strokes dry almost instantly).I buy the 14"x17" and cut it down to 11"x17". It's better than Blueline Pro boards, Canson Comic Boards, Canson Bristol, Eon Comic Boards, and, like I said, even the other Strathmore bristols. Don't let that other guy's 1-star review fool you, this paper is legit. Even that guy likes it! He was just in a huff because there was a pencil mark on one of the sheets that he got. Jeez.
Selecting a paper is one of the most important decisions an artist will make that will influence the outcome of their work. Strathmore Artist Papers are known for their quality, consistency and performance and come in a vast array of styles in a range of good, better, best, and premium quality. There is a paper for every level of artist and for every artist's needs.

I'm not particularly well versed in the area of electronics and I'm hoping some kind soul will help me out with this question. I can not for the life of me figure out how to get internet on my laptop so I can use it while I'm in the car and out & about. I know I can use public wifi hotspots if I happen upon them but I'd prefer not to use public networks since I'm entering in important business information for my business.
Is there a monthly fee I can pay some place to get this service? My boyfriend told me something also about a mifi hotspot something but he doesn't know much about it either. Which of these should I get? Are there any other options? If someone can plainly explain I'd appreciate it because after two days of research, I still don't get it lol
Thanks for your patience
Hi, you'll want to see your phone carrier AT&T/Sprint/Verizon about getting a mobile hot spot device or if you already have a smart phone you can see if they can help you with getting it to set up as a mobile hot spot. Meaning your phone or a device you can carry around with you will put out a wireless signal that translates the 3g/4g internet from the phone service into wifi that your Thrive can pick up and use for internet services.
Bare in mind, however, that doing this requires a Data plan and a monthly fee depending on your level of useage.

Reviews for Center for Science in the Public Interest
I love CSPI and the Nutrition Action Health Letter. The Health Letter is one of the main ways I keep up with evidenced based nutrition information as a Registered Dietitian. They deliver clear, no-nonsense information that is very much appreciated. They aren't afraid to name names when they have good or bad things to say about a product or issue. It has helped me learn how to critique products on my own and therefore teach my clients how to as well. Also, I have contacted the staff at CSPI several times and they are always very quick to respond (usually the same business day) with helpful information you know came from a real person and not an automated response. I also love the"Chemical Cuisine" feature on their website. They are doing real work and making real progress to make our nation's food environment safer and healthier. Everyone should get the Nutrition Action Health Letter!

Hosted a Hollywood game night for staff! Really set the theme of the night at a very reasonable price! I was able to decorate most of the area with just two packages. They arrived quickly so that we could set the room and determine if we needed more to complete the setting. We included the red aisle carpet runner and red carpet insta mural to insure the theme was set as soon as they entered the party.

Films losing status as Canadian projects
Several Canuck producers have sent letters to Toronto-based film distributor ThinkFilm demanding that the company allow them to take back rights to their pics.
With ThinkFilm now American-owned, the films will lose their official status as Canadian projects if released by ThinkFilm, which could force the producers to pay back hundreds of thousands of dollars in tax credits.
Previously Canadian-owned, ThinkFilm was acquired in October by Los Angeles entrepreneur David Bergstein, who also owns U.K.-based foreign sales agent Capitol Films.
Toronto lawyer David Steinberg, who reps three Canadian producers who are in dispute with ThinkFilm, said the company is refusing to negotiate with the filmmakers.
"I've sent letters to demand that the films be given to a Canadian distributor," said Steinberg, a partner at Toronto law firm Heenan Blaikie, one of the main legal players in the Canuck film biz. Bergstein has not "responded to the letters. So we don't know what his intentions are.
"We thought this would've been taken care of a long time ago. This seems irrational. Why would they be putting Canadian producers in this position?"
A ThinkFilm spokesman would say only that the company is in negotiations with some of the Canadian producers whose films are in limbo.
Under Canadian law, a Canadian film can access tax credits only if it is released by a Canadian-owned distributor. Producers normally obtain loans from banks based on the presumption that they will be repaid once the producers receive the tax credits after shooting wraps.
The lack of a Canadian-owned distrib also will affect the producers' deals with TV networks, because the Canuck webs buy pics specifically to fill Canadian-content quotas. If the films are no longer officially Canadian, the nets may not want to air them.
An estimated 20 pics are affected by the dispute.
Steinberg represents Darius Films, producer of Slamdance opener "Weirdsville" and "Hank and Mike," and Alchemist Entertainment, producer of "King of Sorrow." All three pics were meant to be distributed in Canada by ThinkFilm. Steinberg also reps a third Canadian producer whom he would not name.
Another pic in ThinkFilm limbo is helmer Paul Fox's comedy "Everything's Gone Green," penned by novelist Douglas Coupland. First Independent Pictures plans to release the film in the U.S. in late March, and the original plan was to launch the pic in Canada at the same time. That now looks unlikely to happen.

The Philadelphia Flyers and New Jersey Devils will meet in the second round of the NHL Stanley Cup playoffs.
Based on the regular season, it is reasonable to expect that the series will be closely contested. The teams split the games against each other 3-3. The Flyers finished just one point ahead of the Devils in the standings.
But as is often said, the playoffs are another season.
Let's look at how these two teams match up and see how the series might unfold.

Rory McIlroy Wins PGA Championship
KIAWAH ISLAND, S.C. -- It was a halogen-bright smile of joy, of disbelief and, yes, of relief, too. Rory McIlroy didn't just separate himself from the rest of the PGA Championship field Sunday, but from his doubters.
Did you see McIlroy's face after he snowplowed his way to his second career major? Did you see how hard he buried his head into his father Gerry's left shoulder when they bear hugged just off the 18th green?
McIlroy knew he had done something beyond special. Now he was trying to comprehend it. After all, it's one thing to win, but another to wrap your arms around history.
That's what he did Sunday, make PGA Championship history. Nobody -- not Jack Nicklaus, not Tiger Woods -- has ever won this championship by 8 strokes. McIlroy's victory was so complete that he would have had to take a 12 on the final hole to even force a playoff.
So he smiled. And exhaled. And closed his eyes and dropped his head back. It was as if he were trying to process the moment and cherish it at the same time.
"I allowed myself the luxury of walking up 18 knowing that I was going to win," McIlroy said. "I enjoyed the moment, just let it all sink in."
When he had made the walk from the fairway to the 18th green, his playing partners, Bo Van Pelt and Carl Pettersson, as well as their caddies, purposely lingered behind McIlroy. They had witnessed McIlroy's round firsthand. They knew.
"He was just better than everybody and it was clear just -- it was clear to everybody, I think," Pettersson said.
How could it not be? McIlroy more than lapped the field. He won by eight here. He won by eight at the 2011 U.S. Open. There is no grey area in his major victories.

Intraluminal crystalline structures having distinctive morphological characteristics were noted by Holmes1 in 1977 in association with prostatic adenocarcinoma. In her series of 335 cases, she found these crystalloids in 23%. The structures were almost exclusively confined to malignant glands and were not seen in benign prostates. A study by Jensen et al2 and a subsequent study by Ro et al3 found crystalloids in approximately 10% of cases of prostate cancer, suggesting that Holmes' 23% was an overestimation. These differences, however, are probably related to sampling, since recent investigations using whole-organ tissue sections revealed crystalloids in the majority of cases of prostatic adenocarcinoma.4 Although most commonly seen in well-differentiated neoplasms, prostatic crystalloids have been noted in metastatic sites.5 They have also been found in fine-needle aspirates of the prostate (G. F. Worsham, MD, B. W. Kellough, MD; B. S. Collins, MD, unpublished data, 1987).

Ubaldo Jimenez Declines Option With Indians
Source: Craig Calcaterra, NBC Sports Hardball Talk
Ubaldo Jimenez is no dummy. After seeing Tim Lincecum get $35 million, Jimenez said thanks but no thanks to the Indians after they exercised their half of the $8 million option for 2014, thereby becoming a free agent.
Jimenez had a nice bounce back year for the Indians. Going 13-9 with a 3.30 ERA in 32 starts. Whether that was a fluke or a return to form for Jimenez ? who was putrid in 2012 and whose 2011 wasn't anything close to his best years prior ? is an interesting question. All of his rate stats and peripherals went in the right direction, so there is hope. But, yeah, it could have been a fluke.

Several macrotrends have broken Philadelphia's way: The city's population is growing again. Residential building is up, and the city has seen an influx of college-educated young adults over the last decade.
But one trend remains stubbornly negative, as three recent research reports make clear: The city continues to lose jobs. The latest such evidence was included in the Center City District's "State of Center City, 2013" report, released Monday.
The special-services district can rightly brag about the increased vibrancy in the area wedged between the rivers and Vine and Pine Streets. The city is cleaner since 1990, serious crime is down, and the churn in retail stores and restaurants is source of small-business strength.

Aion becomes free-to-play next week
And another MMO makes the jump...
NCsoft's big fantasy MMO Aion is set to join the growing ranks of free-to-play MMO titles next week.
The only differences that current Aion players will notice straight away is that the subscription will no longer come out of their bank accounts every month.
Any current subscribers who still have time left to run on their current subscriptions will receive six Aion Coins (the game's premium currency) for every day that is left on their current month's subscription payment.
Aion will become free-to-play for all players from February the 28th in France Germany and the UK.

Work begins on new Sheetz on Peninsula Drive in Millcreek
Work started this week on a convenience store project that underwent Millcreek Township scrutiny of aesthetics.
The first part of the project, demolishing part of the east end of the El Patio Motel, is hardly aesthetic itself as passers-by can see a mound of concrete, bricks, wood, and even mattresses and plumbing from the motel units.
But once that work is completed, contractors will begin to build a new Sheetz convenience store and gas pumps that will be more aesthetically pleasing than many of the more than 435 stores in the Altoona-based chain.
Aesthetics became an issue for township supervisors because the Sheetz store will be on the gateway to Presque Isle State Park. The store will be between West Sixth and West Eighth streets on Peninsula Drive.
Perry Construction Group Inc. and subcontractors started the demolition Monday. Concrete will be recycled, but other materials that cannot be reused are being taken to a landfill, said Kirk Battin, superintendent for Perry Construction.
The work for Perry also involves reconstructing the east end of the building where the demolition work stops. That reconstruction will include installing bricks and vinyl siding on what is now the new east-facing end of the building, he said.
Twelve of 83 rooms were demolished to make way for the development. The El Patio remains open for business.
David Hazelet, director of real estate for Sheetz, said construction is expected to start within two weeks of the completion of demolition. The new store is scheduled to open sometime during the last week of September or the first week of October, he said.
Millcreek supervisors approved the land-development plan for Sheetz in July 2013, but work was delayed until now because construction would have run into winter, Hazelet said.
Supervisor Richard Figaski said the "various stipulations are in place" for how the property looks. "And as they progress, periodic inspections will be done to make sure it's conforming to what the land-development plan indicated," he said.
The multimillion-dollar store will be different from others in the chain. Sheetz is lowering its sign from 20 feet to just over 8 feet, using stonework for support columns, lowering the canopy over the gas pumps from 18 feet to 15 feet, doing more landscaping, using brown brick with a stone base for the store's facade and a more subdued red hue for awnings over the windows.
The company, however, will keep its trademark red color for the canopy over the gas pumps.

In the National Tribune, 1880, an article appeared giving an account of the "Vision of Washington" at Valley Forge. The account was told by a gentleman named Anthony Sherman, who supposedly was at Valley Forge during the winter of 1777-78. The story has been published several times.
Some people will say that it is substantiated by the fact that a copy of the account is in the Library of Congress. This argument of authenticity is misleading in and of itself. The Library of Congress has copies of anything published. That does not indicate accuracy of the content.
I am unaware of any eighteenth-century evidence that corroborates this story. The soldier mentioned as having a first-hand account of the "Vision," Anthony Sherman, was a soldier in the Continental Army. However, according to his pension application, written by him, he states that he was at Saratoga under the command of Benedict Arnold at the end of 1777 and only joined the main forces in 1778 in New Jersey just before the Battle of Monmouth....
230 years ago is history, the coming war between us and the rest of the world is the future. Who drives down the road in reverse, looking in the rear view mirror?

Student Services (original title, Mes chères études) is a 2010 French television film about the plight of student sex workers in France. It follows Laura, a foreign language student, who turns to sex work after she faints in a lecture from not having eaten sufficiently. Initially drawn in by what seems to be easy money, Laura quickly learns that the life of a sex worker is far from easy, but she can't get out because she still has bills to pay...
This movie exhibits the following tropes:
- Auto Erotica: Laura's second client can't afford a hotel room.
- Bondage Is Bad: The primary "bad customer" that Laura keeps getting involved in is Joe. On their second meeting, he ties her up and assaults her with a sex toy. On the fourth, it's heavily implied that she's strapped to a St. Andrew's cross and shared with two of Joe's friends.
- Fan Disservice: Laura gets naked multiple times in the film, and has sex during several of the scenes, but the sex scenes with clients are filmed without any music, emphasizing how unsexy the whole situation is.
- MadonnaWhore Complex: Laura tries to divide herself into the two categories. She's not the whore when she's not having sex for money.
- Platonic Prostitution: Never. Even Joe, who likes to talk, is only doing it to warm up.
- Starving Student: Early in the movie, Laura faints in class due to not having eaten properly.
- Unproblematic Prostitution: Highly averted. Laura gets raped, gets stiffed multiple times on her fee, and many of the clients force her into more than she's offering. That's not even including how it drives away Manu, the man she loves.

An abnormally sized defecation. The size of the defecation may be relative to your own size and stature. It is either: (a) a defecation that hurts your anus, making it feel as if a tear has bolted its way up your rectum; OR, for the more adventurous at heart, those sticklers for authenticity and bragging rights--(b) a defecation that pokes it's head through the surface of your toilet water and stares right back at you.
Why my oh-my, my ass is on three sorts of fire; I must have dropped a Brompton! (looking at the beast below him or her) well, I say, there's its head and neck craning from the depths of my toilet water--it MUST be a Brompton! I shall call my friends and let them know of this discovery!

Tap Milwaukee's guide to area brewpubs
Brewpubs might be the hex wrench of taverns, smoothly connecting the atmosphere of a neighborhood bar with a farm-to-table category of beverage. It doesn't get much more "to table" than filling a pint glass with beer made a few feet away - at least in most cases.
Brewing your own beer in small batches is work, but the opportunity to name that beer is where the fun lives. You can order a Star Destroyer Stout at Stonefly, have a glass of Pumpkinstein at Sweet Mullets or sip the Monkey Paw at the Ale House. »Read Full Article(10)

Guerrero: Losing To Mayweather Lit a Fire Under Me!
By Mike Coppinger
Robert Guerrero knows there's no shame in losing to the pound-for-pound king.
In fact, he gained valuable experience from the bout with Floyd Mayweather Jr. last May.
"I lost to the best fighter in the world," Guerrero admitted on a media conference call Tuesday. "I learned a lot from that and it lit a fire under me to be better."
Guerrero (31-2-1, 18 KOs) will begin his quest to improve at his craft Saturday when he faces Yoshihiro Kamegai (24-1-1, 21 KOs) in the main event of "Showtime Championship Boxing" at the StubHub Center in Carson, California.
Even though Guerrero is facing a steep decline in competition, he respects what the Japanese welterweight has to offer.
"Kamegai comes to win and win in impressive fashion," Guerrero said. "You've got to be ready for anything -- that's what I learned from Floyd."

He is the best doctor. For 8 years I was seeing doctors trying to figure out what was wrong with my shoulder. I finally saw him and after 8 years of suffering with pain, he diagnosed me within 10 minutes, and then scheduled me for surgery. I have been great ever since. The surgery was in 2012 and I healed in 2 months after having the scapulothorcic bursitis surgery (Snapping Scapula w/bone spurs). A little bit of PT after that and I was as good as new. He is wonderful and will go to him if I have any other Ortho issues. I was getting very upset cause I did see other Ortho doctors and they has no idea what it was. I even had MRI's and other doctors could not figure it out but Dr. Goldberg did.
Dr Goldberg is not a good doctor he is liar my company hired him to do an pre surgical exam. i had a spinal injury which is territory for a neuro surgeon he was not the proper doctor for my injury he is an orthopaedic surgeon for shoulder and elbow .my injury is a neck and lower back of my spine.because he was simply hire by company paid he went right with the visit instead of telling my company he need to refer to the proper doctor.his exam was verbal no vital sign was taken everything he me do i could not do .because he was hire by my company he had support them.he was no support me or help and did not recomend any thing for.in the begining of the visit he not my doctor.he diagnosis was comical humiliating .he is not honest kind caring helpfull doctor.i pray to dear god i never see agin as a doctor.by the while in the waiting area other patient was complainig on him and that were going seek another doctor to replace him.i dont refer any one to visit him.in order for me to file the compliant i have to grade him else one star to make the review .but in reality i grade him no star
Dr. Goldberg has a great bedside manner and is very knowledgeable. He really cares about his patients. I would recommend him.

Osceola County was named after Seminole Indian warrior Chief Osceola. The first white settler to the area was Nathan Hersey, a fur trapper, who arrived in 1840 and settled near the town and river that still bears his name.
Reed City was plotted in 1870. Its first school was opened in 1872. By the late 1890s and early 1900s, the village had a population of about 2,690, and it officially became a city in 1933.
Notable residents of Reed City include Thomas Schall, U.S. Senator from Minnesota, and George Bennard, American hymn composer and preacher best known for composing the famous hymn, "The Old Rugged Cross".

Trade Targets for Defensive Depth
J.D. Burke
October 16 2014 05:00PM
Should the Canucks bring B.C. native and VANCOUVER GIANTS LEGEND Cody Franson home?
If there is anything we can glean from these first two games, it's that the Vancouver Canucks are short on defensive depth. As much as the change around town is relished and providing solid early returns, this is an area of concern all the same.
This franchise could sit on its heels and watch the wheels spin without so much as batting an eye, but they've every intention of making the playoffs this season and standing pat would bode poorly for their chances. Injuries are a nasty occurrence, and they've always a knack for striking Canucks defencemen at the worst of moments.
Before you know it one injury to the blue line has turned to three and having a good sixth or seventh defenceman won't be enough. Yann Sauve should never enter an NHL arena as anything more than a fan, let alone the three games he did last season as a Canuck.
Lets look at one of the Canucks biggest issues with their roster and what they can do about fixing it.
Adjusted Save Percentage: Measuring the Impact Defense has on Goaltending Statistics
money puck
October 16 2014 01:30PM
One of the reasons we love sports as much as we do is because of the great debates it can spawn. I came across a classic hockey debate the other day in relation to Ryan Miller. "Of course Miller didn't post elite numbers last year. He played for Buffalo!"
As I was thinking about this, it struck me that while we have made huge strides in advanced statistics overall, we haven't made much progress in terms of quantifying the impact of defense and separating that contribution to statistics for the goalie themselves. We can tell the percentage of shots a goalie save (SV%), but we have little to no insight into the difficulty level of the shots themselves.
From a quantitative standpoint, we understand the game better now than ever before. We understand shot attempt differential, which we know we can be used to approximate possession. We call this corsi, and we understand this to be a key component of overall team success. We can also begin to isolate the impact a player has on their team's shot attempt differential, which is a solid representation of strong two way play.
However, there is one factor that detractors of advanced stats have always struggled with. Detractors have long protested that not all shots have an equal chance of going in, and they're right. Is it possible to adjust save-percentage to reflect easier or more difficult workload? Find out after the jump.

The Comets have a Goalie Controversy
Josh W
October 15 2014 05:00PM
During the 2013-2014 season, the Vancouver Canucks' goalie depth chart was pretty clear cut: Roberto Luongo was the starter, as all the previous drama was now behind him; Eddie Lack was the backup though soon would want to be a starter somewhere; and newly signed Joacim Eriksson was coming from Sweden to continue development in the AHL. In the Canucks and Comets systems there was also Joe Cannata and Matthieu Corbeil signed, but they were never going to be much more than ECHL starters (Corbeil was bounced around 4 teams, effectively cut from each) and AHL backups.
That all changed the day John Torterella decided to play Lack in the Heritage Classic, citing that the Senators had been scouting Luongo and he wanted to throw a curve-ball at the Senators. He's never blatantly said it but, Luongo wanted to play it that game, and after years of abuse from the fans, the media and the team, this was the straw to break the camel's back.
Luongo was shipped out, and in return came back young Jacob Markstrom as part of a package. Not feeling confident with two young goalies to start the 2014-2015 season the new Vancouver management signed veteran goaltender in Ryan Miller. This whole dynamic of 5 goaltenders in the system (with a sixth still developing in the NCAA) is now going to start a new goalie controversy with two goalies fighting for the number one position. I am not talking about one in Vancouver, but rather one in Utica.
Read past the jump for a breakdown of the Utica Comets goaltender situation.

President's Message
Michael F. BrownThe summer heat now bears down on Santa Fe in the afternoons, which is hard on people but great for SAR's flowers, which under the loving care of Isidro Gutiérrez, a member of our physical plant staff, have burst into life.
With the flowers come our summer scholars and their noontime public colloquia, which are held in SAR's Dobkin boardroom. The talks are free and open to the public. These colloquia illustrate the range of SAR scholars and their projects. On June 29, for instance, Michael Messner (USC) talked about his study of the impact of combat experience on male veterans of different ages. On July 13, Hugh Gusterson (George Washington University) will present the results of his study of nuclear weapons labs and the challenges of continuing to create weapons that can't readily be tested. On July 27, Tracy L. Brown (Central Michigan University) considers how the transition to US rule affected the political life of Pueblo communities in New Mexico and Arizona.
But it's not just social science on offer at SAR. On August 3, Kelli Ford (Cherokee), our Lannan Foundation-sponsored Indigenous Writer in Residence, will give a reading from her nearly completed novel Crooked Hallelujah. The next evening there will be an artist talk and studio reception by the extraordinarily skilled basketmaker Carol Emarthle-Douglas (Arapaho/Seminole), this year's Ronald and Susan Dubin Artist in Residence.
Santa Fe's summer season is packed with visitors. In response, we've added an extra day of tours of the Indian Arts Research Center (IARC) collection and the historic SAR campus. The IARC houses over 12,000 pieces of Native American art dating from the sixth century to the current day. The 8-acre campus was the original home of Amelia Elizabeth White and her sister Martha Root White, which they built in the 1920s. Today the estate is a peaceful haven of classic Pueblo-style architecture, beautiful landscaping, and rich history, with many of the sisters' beautiful pieces of art and furniture.
IARC Tours:
Wednesdays at 2 p.m. (summer months only)
Fridays at 2 p.m. (year-round)
Cost $15, Free to SAR members
Reservations required (availability subject to change).
Call 505-954-7205 to make reservations.
Walking History Tours:
Wednesdays at 10 a.m. (summer months only, weather permitting)
Fridays at 10 a.m. (year-round, weather permitting)
Cost $15, Free to SAR members
Reservations required for tours
Call 505-954-7205 to make reservations.
So there is lots to do at SAR this summer. I hope you'll consider joining us for some or all of these varied events.
We look forward to seeing you.

A 35-year-old Hispanic man presented to the emergency department with a 5-week history of abdominal pain. The pain radiated from the right upper quadrant to his back. The patient denied any nausea, vomiting, fevers, chills, or changes in bowel habits. His medical history was significant for non–insulin-dependent diabetes for which he takes metformin and pioglitazone. The patient's social history was significant for smoking 5 to 6 cigarettes per day, and he denied alcohol use. Physical examination revealed right upper quadrant tenderness, and findings of ocular examination were negative for sclera icterus. Results of laboratory testing were significant for a total bilirubin level of 1.8 mg/dL and an indirect bilirubin level of 1.0 mg/dL (to convert to micromoles per liter, multiply by 17.104). The remainder of liver function test results were within the reference range. A complete blood cell count demonstrated a white cell count of 5.2 without a left shift. Preoperative gallbladder ultrasound demonstrated a complex heterogeneous mass in the gallbladder fossa measuring 5.4 × 5.1 × 4.6 cm, with no common bile duct dilatation. Magnetic resonance imaging obtained preoperatively is shown (Figure 1) along with a pathology specimen obtained during the operation (Figure 2).
