A former captain in the U.S. Air Force, Hopkins led more than 100 joint-military intelligence specialists as a senior watch officer at Buckley Air Force Base. He also worked as an acquisition officer at Hanscom Air Force Base for the National Aerospace Systems program office. Currently, he's pursuing a graduate degree in sustainability at Harvard University and works with the Civil Society Institute as its specialist on the national security implications of climate change and resource depletion.
Climate change and the war on terror mix like oil and water. Our understanding of climate change and its implications is built on hard science, which continues to grow in volume and refinement. It's a singular challenge on an order of magnitude that we've never encountered and solving it requires an unprecedented level of involvement and cooperation from all nations and people.

Finite-Sample Adjustments for Homogeneity and Symmetry Tests in Systems of Demand Equations: A Monte Carlo Evaluation
This paper gives simulation results comparing the finite-sample performance of three commonly used homogeneity and symmetry asymptotic tests, and some size-corrected tests that can be used when the sample size is small. The results suggest that such finite-sample corrections can be effective in bringing the empirical sizes of the tests closer to their nominal levels. They also suggest that the likelihood ratio test is, in general, more reliable than the Wald and Lagrange multiplier tests. Finally, it is shown that size-corrections of homogeneity tests tend to introduce reductions in power, which can be very large when bootstrap corrections are used. An application to a well known data set is also presented. Citation Copyright 1997 by Kluwer Academic Publishers.

The team had a very good day on the field despite being indoors. The offensive side of the ball in particular looked like they were executing very well. "I'm anticipating the first team looking sharp and making plays," Fulmer said.
The Orange team has been designated as the frontline players. The White team will be more second and third teamers accompanied by walk-ons. There are several players that will play on both teams on Saturday. James Banks, C.J. Leak, Gerald Riggs Jr., J.T. Mapu and Chris Hannon are just a few that are slated to line up on both teams.
Mark Jones, yeah I know shocking, made a tremendous reception over Antwan Stewart this afternoon. Casey Clausen sent a floating pass down the sideline and Jones simply beat Stewart for the touchdown.
Coach Fulmer is talking about getting a look at Derrick Tinsley as a safety. Obviously he won't see much time with spring winding down, but could possibly see a play or two in the game Saturday. Don't put money on it though.
Mapu appeared to be very intense and focused today. He looks to have a big game on Saturday. With all the competition at defensive end, he will need a good performance to stay in the running for a starting role. Currently Karlton Neal and Constantin Ritzmann have jobs in their pocket until someone proves otherwise.
Cody Douglas was named the Most Improved Offensive Player of the Spring honors today. Jason Hall and Antwan Stewart will split the M.I.P. Defensive Players of the Spring award. It should be noted that all three players are currently in their second year at Tennessee and all came in together in the 2002 Signing Class. It is amazing to see the amount of talent and depth that class will bring to the table this year. In addition to the aforementioned three, Gerald Riggs Jr., James Wilhoit, James Banks, J.T. Mapu, Omar Gaither, Marvin Mitchell, Parys Haralson and Rob Smith are all locks to contribute this coming season. There is a lot of talent in that class to say the absolute least.
The hay is in the barn for the team. They will sign autographs and take pictures on Saturday before kicking off at 3pm EST for the last time until August. There should be some great competition to see.

In Reply.—We appreciate the letter of Beringer and colleagues. The ideal method to generate a "valid epidemiologic risk" for submersion accidents in children would be to perform a prospective study, but such a study would be difficult if not impossible to perform from a practical standpoint. Drowning accidents are rare occurrences (5.6/100,000 population), and to study a rare occurrence in a subpopulation of children with epilepsy (0.5% to 1.5% of the population) in a prospective fashion would be a long and formidable task. The impressive consistency between the diverse locations and studies listed in our article for the risk of submersion accidents in children with epilepsy suggests that the risk estimates are legitimate and that our statements of an average risk four times that of normal children is appropriate.
The precise quantification of the magnitude of the increased risk is probably less important than the realization and acceptance of

In 1906, in the heart of New York City, Pierpont Morgan built a private library intended to rival the great art institutions of Europe. In 1924, The Pierpont Morgan Library & Museum became a public institution. A century after its creation, in 2006, The Morgan Library & Museum, having undergone a major expansion and renovation designed by the Renzo Piano Building Workshop, reopened to wide critical and popular acclaim. The process leading up to that moment is documented in this book, which chronicles the 100-year transformation of a rarefied domain to a public museum, independent research library, musical venue, architectural landmark, and historic site.

GameGain is a very simple application supposed to optimize your computer as much as possible, thus boosting gaming performance.Of course, that sounds like a great idea and we admit it is, but don't expect GameGain to do wonders. It only optimizes the system for better frame rates and animations, so chances are that you'll experience just a minor improvement in speed.The application relies on a very simple interface, which is indeed great, especially when thinking that such a tool is not only addressed to expert users, but also to beginners who are less interested in wasting time on a complicated configuration screen GameGain only asks you to choose the operating system you're currently using, the processor type of your computer and the speed setting you wish to apply Don't worry if you don't know the processor type because there's an "Unknown" option too, so you're on the safe side all the time. Plus, GameGain comes with a comprehensive help manual, so you may have a look in there too The optimization process takes just a few seconds, as the app attempts to modify the system registry to boost performance, change refresh rates or improve animations and screen drawing Of course, GameGain runs on low computer resources and can get along with most versions of Windows, including XP, Vista and 7.

"There was no mail in there," said a day-shift postal worker, who asked to remain anonymous. "The trucks are not coming in. We're supposed to be busy, and we're not running the machines.

Advertising in the public interest
"What if America wasn't America?" That was the question posed by a series of ads broadcast in the wake of the September 11th attacks, ads which depicted a dystopian America bereft of liberty: Library - Diner - Church. Together with more positive ads like Remember Freedom and I Am an American, they encouraged frightened viewers to cherish their freedoms and defend against division and prejudice in the face of terrorism (seven years previously). The campaign was the work of the Ad Council, a non-profit agency that employs the creative muscle of volunteer advertisers to raise awareness for social issues of national importance. Founded during WWII as the War Advertising Council, the organization has been behind some of the most memorable public service campaigns in American history, including Rosie the Riveter, Smokey the Bear, McGruff the Crime Dog, and the Crash Test Dummies. And the Council is still at it today, producing striking, funny, and above all effective PSAs on everything from student invention to global warming to arts education to community service.

Keith Olbermann's Edward R. Murrow* moment: A Textbook Definition of Cowardice. MSNBC's host excoriates Bush, FOX News host Chris Wallace, and the media for its response to former president Clinton's "tantrum" [still being discussed here]. Note: Don't just read the transcript. Watch the video, because Olbermann's use of visuals adds greatly to the power of his presentation. No matter which side of the red/blue-state divide you're on, students of politics and media will be reviewing this clip for years to come as a little cultural watershed -- if only a consummate example of "Democrat" angerTM.

The Western media -- says the millionaire mass-murderer formerly trained as a useful ally by the CIA via Pakistan's ISI -- "implants fear and helplessness in the psyche of the people of Europe and the United States.

Neo-Con Neo-Lynching?
Investigative reporter, Greg Palast is reporting on Alternet about now ex-congresswoman, Cynthia McKinney. "McKinney implied that the [Bush] Administration knew in advance about September 11 and deliberately held back the information," said the media. The New York Times said, "Ms. McKinney suggest[ed] that President Bush might have known about the September 11 attacks but did nothing so his supporters could make money in a war." She was beaten to death, politically, by the fabricated quote in the 2002 Democratic Primary. But Greg Palast did some investigation, and despite his best efforts, can find no evidence that she said these things. The closest he comes up with is a quote from her saying, "George Bush had no prior knowledge of the plan to attack the World Trade Center on September 11." Of course Cynthia McKinney kicked up a bit of a fuss about a few things embarassing to the Bush administration. Read on for the dirt and history.
I guess the media does have some good qualities after all.
I guess the media does have some good qualities after all. Yesterday was 9/11. Much of the media spend the day remembering what took place a year ago. A local pop radio station here in Pittsburgh B94 did something a little different. Yes they did the remembering but they also did something that went along the lines of "going about our business". They organized a little something called Operation Jumpstart Pittsburgh. They collected faxed and emailed resumes and hooked people up with companies that were hiring on the spot. It's nice to see the media doing something constructive for a change. I just wonder if anyone else might have some information about things that media outlets in other cities might have done like this.

S-11 Redux: (Channel) Surfing the Apocalypse
S-11 Redux: (Channel) Surfing the Apocalypse So, in the face of our media's shameless propaganda campaign, we have taken it upon ourselves to intuit what the intentions and goals of this war truly are. In what is surely a departure from our traditional NewsVideo format, GNN presents S-11 Redux: (Channel) Surfing the Apocalypse. Culled from over 20 hours of television footage recorded over a one month period and across 13 networks, S-11 Redux is a sound-bite blitzkrieg that challenges the messages we have been fed from our mainstream media and the government it serves. Be warned - this video moves quickly and will require at least two viewings to digest its full impact. You may never be able to look at the coverage of S-11 and its post-impact coverage the same way, ever again
Is The Media's "Whining" About Access Justified?
Is The Media's "Whining" About Access Justified? A journalist criticizes his colleagues: "The disconnect between the U.S. media and the public they purport to serve has turned into a virtual chasm in the wake of the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks." What are/should be the limits on the ability of the press to obtain unfettered information in sensitive times?
Daily comic strips have started to react to the attacks. The only two I noticed in today's paper were Fox Trot and The Boondocks. Their tones are, predictably, somber. The one comic I'd expect to have something to say, Doonesbury, is still stuck on an older storyline. Have other strips referenced September 11?

All aboard! The Alto Model Train Museum Association's next annual toy train swap meet is pulling up to the platform.
Twice a year, the association sponsors a meet, otherwise known as a "Scalefest," and the next one is taking place March 9 at the Blair County Convention Center.
The shows benefit the museum, a nonprofit and educational organization, according to a press release, and is the one of two major fundraisers, the other is the display at Holiday Lights on the Lake at Lakemont Park, said Gregg Miller, the Alto membership chairman.

Vendor Jeffrey Holland of Altoona displays railroad memorabilia for sale at a previous Scalefest swap meet.
The train show is the largest between Pittsburgh and Harrisburg.
It attracts at least several hundred visitors, spokesman David W. Seidel said.
The show is "very popular, especially among older adults, anyway, but we're trying to get the kids interested, as well," Seidel said. "It's always been well worth everybody's effort to go there. You have vendors there, as well as private individuals, and it's not just store stock and that sort of thing, because one of the things that's very enjoyable at these meets is to dig into the used equipment boxes that's under the tables and see what you can find."

What: Toy Train Swap Meet
When: 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. March 9
Where: Blair County Convention Center, Altoona
Admission: $5, includes a chance on a Lionel Train Set; children under age 12 will be admitted free
On the web: www.altoona train.com
Ron Kennedy, vice president and show organizer, said the show will have new and antique items, and operating train layouts on display.
The attraction to model trains is "nostalgia in one sense," Seidel said.
Many of the enthusiasts are "serious collectors, if anything. I know train collectors, for instance, who ... specialize in a size ... and they have home layouts in many cases where they are elaborate works of art in engineering, quite frankly, in how they operate. They strive to make some of their layouts look as real as possible in every sense of the word. You'll have the toy train collector who's in it just for the pure enjoyment. You'll have the series collectors and modelers, and some of those fellas do it to scale size, which is an actual replication of the real railroading experience."
People enjoy bargain hunting, and the last train show had 152 tables for the buying, selling or trading of trains, Miller said.
"I hope they get to talk about the hobby, get to see people about the hobby, maybe find something to add to their hobby," Miller said.
Another meet is scheduled for Oct. 12.

MFAH Book Club Tours
This is where art and literature meet! Designed for established book clubs—whether formal or informal groups—the MFAH Book Club links works of literature to works of art at the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston.

Summer 2016
The Lady in Gold by Anne-Marie O'Connor
"Contributor to the Washington Post Anne-Marie O'Connor brilliantly regales readers with the galvanizing story of Gustav Klimt's 1907 masterpiece—the breathtaking portrait of a Viennese Jewish socialite, Adele Bloch-Bauer. The celebrated painting, stolen by Nazis during World War II, subsequently became the subject of a decade-long dispute between her heirs and the Austrian government.
When the U.S. Supreme Court became involved in the case, its decision had profound ramifications in the art world. Expertly researched, masterfully told, The Lady in Gold is at once a stunning depiction of fin-de-siècle Vienna, a riveting tale of Nazi war crimes, and a fascinating glimpse into the high-stakes workings of the contemporary art world." —Amazon.com

Aurora/East Aurora
Newly appointed Aurora Town Board member Charles Snyder hopes to find ways to save money during the year ahead.
"I'm excited," he said at the end of the board meeting Monday evening. "I think there are places where we could become more efficient."
A former member of the Planning Board, Snyder applied for the opening created by James Bach's election to supervisor. He has a business building homes, and last year he helped oversee the $877,000-worth of renovations at the Southside Municipal Building.
Synder will serve the rest of this year, the last in Bach's old term, and then he plans run for election in the fall.
"I know a lot about construction," said Snyder. "I know a lot about this building and I think I can help."
Also this week:
• The East Aurora Village Board meets at 7 p.m. Monday at Village Hall, 571 Main Street.
• The East Aurora Board of Education meets at 7 p.m. Wednesday in the Middle School library, 430 Main Street.

What do I drink For? Independence Day
The Fourth of July. A time of Barbecues, sun, relaxation and America [gin anyone?]. But I know what you're saying. When you're out in the yard grilling up some steaks and the rest of your friends are pounding back a few "cold ones" you're looking for something a bit more junipery.
I'm here to help. But first, put that bottle of Beefeater away. Lock the Bombay back in the liquor cabinet and don't even think about grabbing that bottle of the Botanist. Sure it has over 30 botanicals, but today we're celebrating America. And what better way than by drinking an American gin?
I've got you covered and you can thank me later when you're enjoying a couple of cocktails.
Our first cocktail suggestions hails from Midtown Manhattan with the apt-named "Firecracker cocktail." Just the idea of pureeing another July 4th tradition [watermelon] immediately conjures up notions of having a watermelon seed spitting contest with your closest cousins. Additionally, this is a great cocktail to make ahead of time too.

EDITORIAL - All sour, no sweet: Latest economic figures paint a picture of gloom
June's job creation and unemployment figures released yesterday represent another disastrous month for the American economy.
The unemployment rate rose again, this time to 9.5 percent, the highest in 26 years. Some 14.7 million Americans were unemployed in June and, if those who have stopped looking for jobs or who have settled for part-time jobs are included in the total, the rate is 16.5 percent, or one in every six American workers.
Happy talk emanating from the federal government, promoting the effectiveness of the expensive economic stimulus package to banks, financial houses and auto companies, says that the employment rate will be one of the last indicators to show improvement in the economy. What exactly are Americans supposed to do at this point? Gauge the state of the economy by the rise in bailed-out bank executives' salaries? Or maybe how much swindler Bernie Madoff's wife, Ruth, got to keep of his ill-gotten gains?
President Barack Obama cannot be faulted for putting the salvation of the sagging American economy at the top of his list of priorities to tackle. The question is whether it has been done right. Looking at the key figure of job creation, we would note that -- instead of putting out there the some 150,000 new jobs per month that are needed just to stay even in the face of new entries into the economy -- employers cut some 467,000 jobs in June, more than government and private prognosticators had predicted. Even they had expected a loss of 363,000 jobs. If that would have been good news, heaven help the country.
So what can be done? Why not start, first, with the Obama administration seeing to it that the economic stimulus money it is dishing out, running up the national debt enormously in the process, goes to job creation, not to banks buying other banks, or to restoring or supporting the shocking levels of compensation that senior executives have become accustomed to?
A second useful step would be to see that none of the economic stimulus money goes to relieving the states, including Pennsylvania, from meeting their obligation to live within their means. A good start on Pennsylvania's part would be to reduce the size of the Legislature. A second would be to auction off the franchises for the liquor stores. A third would be to reduce the membership of the various commissions that reside in various parts of the Pennsylvania state government, currently providing employment opportunities for multiple political appointees.
Mr. Obama's economic stimulus program was a good idea. Current unemployment figures show that so far it isn't working in putting jobs into the market. Some adjustment is clearly needed.

In Microsoft Windows operating systems (such as Microsoft Windows 7, Vista, and XP) users have the ability to connect a number of different types of drive devices for use in storing and/or transferring files. For most of these supported drive devices (such as flash drives, external hard drives, and media cards), it is recommended that users 'eject,' or 'safely remove' the device before manually disconnecting it from the system. Ejecting a drive device is a very straightforward and simple operation.
Close any open files and/or programs that are using the drive.
Move your mouse cursor over the notification area of the task bar. Find the "Safely Remove Hardware" icon (you may have to press the "Show hidden icons" button to display all of the items). The icon will be identified as such in a tool tip when the mouse hovers over it.
Left-click on the icon and select "Safely remove <your-drive-name-here>" from the context menu. Windows will now ensure the drive is ready to be removed and notify you when it is safe to remove it. If you encounter a message stating that "the drive is busy and cannot be removed," ensure once more that all programs and files using the drive are closed, then repeat step three.

A Day in the Life of the Hudson River Estuary
Thursday October 20, 2016
Registration deadline for schools is September 30th.
Register for "A Day in the Life of the Hudson River" on the Lamont-Doherty website (link leaves DEC website).
On one day each autumn, thousands of students from New York City to Troy participate in the annual "A Day in the Life of the Hudson River" event. Students collect scientific information to create snapshots of the river at dozens of locations, then share their data using Web-based technology so they can better understand how their piece of the river fits into the larger Hudson estuary ecosystem. "A Day in the Life" is sponsored by DEC's Hudson River Estuary Program and produced with assistance from the Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory of Columbia University.
At each location, teams of students and environmental educators use seine nets, water testing kits, and measuring tools to investigate aquatic life, water chemistry, tides and weather. Many groups also collect core samples of river bottom mud for analysis.
Participants' findings contribute to ongoing research projects, and data from the event are incorporated into lesson plans developed by the Hudson River Estuary Program and available to all teachers in the Hudson Valley.
Where possible, Estuary Program staff facilitate partnerships between participating classes and local environmental education organizations for Day in the Life. Training workshops, online lesson plans, specialized equipment, thirteen years of results, and other resources are provided.
For more information about Day in the Life as well as access to past data, instructions and recording sheets for gathering data, and visual aids, please visit the Official Day in the Life of the Hudson web site using Links Leaving DEC's Website on the right side of this page, or contact Rebecca Houser at email@example.com
A Day in the Life of the Hudson River Estuary 2015
The thirteenth annual Day in the Life of the Hudson River in 2015 was a huge success! More than 5,000 participants sampled the estuary at over 80 locations! Thanks to the students who shared their findings, Estuary Program staff were able to create the following place-based, data-driven worksheets for classroom use.
- A Day in the Life of the Hudson River 2015: Fish Worksheet - Student & Teacher Version (PDF, 91 KB)

Assure proper ventilation when pursuing this creative craft. This guide is about plastic spoon flowers.
Here are some photos of plastic spoon flowers that I have made.

Be sure to keep a window open, the smell can be very strong.
Editor's Note: Fumes from melting plastic can be very toxic. Proper ventilation and protection is essential to prevent injuries.
I tried making the flower using plastic spoons and a candle. When I tried, though, the spoon started melting, but dark smoke remained on the spoon as black color. How do I avoid that discoloration?
By Shereena
You could try holding the plastic spoon close to the side of the flame and not on top of the flame or try boiling water or a heat gun or even a hair dryer if the plastic is soft enough. Hope this help!

Subject This darn bottomless shaft in my room From Emperor Palpatine <firstname.lastname@example.com> Date A Long Time Ago 1:42 AM To Nardo Pace <firstname.lastname@example.com>
You are responsible for designing my Throne Room, yes? Do not doubt it. I can see the truth inside you. It burns with a twisted blackness that cannot be denied.
I ask you this: Why is there a chasm in my room? Was it really necessary? What purpose does it serve? Nothing useful has ever come of it. In fact, sometimes when I awake in the middle of the night and stumble in the darkness while making my way to the Imperial Restroom, I mistakenly wobble along the shaft's edge. I also bump my knee on the Imperial Coffee Table, but that is another matter.
I'm expecting very important company today, but I fully expect that you will draw up plans for a grate to cover this errant hole and have someone build it tomorrow. It is your destiny.
That's just one of a half-dozen e-mails idling in Nardo's inbox (the one from Vader gets a little profane, so be forewarned). Scan them all, as they hilariously expose the various ill conceived contraptions that riddle a galaxy far far away.

Ta-Nehisi Coates: X-Men a Great Work of Historical FictionRoundup: Pop Culture & the Arts ... Movies, Documentaries and Museum Exhibits
Ta-Nehisi Coates, a senior editor at The Atlantic, is a guest columnist for the NYT.
Last weekend, like seemingly half the country, I took my son to see "X-Men: First Class," the latest, and best, big-screen incarnation of the popular comic book franchise....
In print, the X-Men are an elite team culled from a superpowered species of human. The mutants, as they are dubbed, are generally handled roughly by the rest of humanity and singled out for everything from enslavement to internment camps to genocide. As if to ram the allegory home, the X-Men, for much of their history, have hailed from across the spectrum of human existence. Over the decades, there have been gay X-Men, patrician X-Men, Jewish X-Men, Aboriginal X-Men, black X-Men with silver mohawks, X-Men hailing from Russia, Kentucky coal country, orphanages and a nightmarish future.
But as "First Class" roars to its final climatic scene, it appeals to an insidious suspension of disbelief; the heroic mutants of America, bravely opposing bigotry and fear, are revealed as not so much a spectrum of humankind, but as Eagle Scouts from Mayfield. Thus, "First Class" proves itself not merely an incredible film, but an incredible work of American historical fiction. Here is a period piece for our postracial times — in the era of Ella Baker and the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., the most powerful adversaries of spectacular apartheid are a team of enlightened white dudes....

In which I embarrass Trina again, and then spend two minutes talking about how badly I need to go to the bathroom. Yeah, that's really all this video is about. SUBSCRIBE! Leave a comment! Like it! Recommend future videos! Twitter! http://twitter.com/#!/jtrousd Today's uncyclopedia: Receptive aphasia, also known as Wernicke's aphasia, excessively verbose aphasia, or downright annoying aphasia, is quite possibly the most irritating speech disorder ever. It's not that they can't talk. They can. That's exactly the problem, in fact, because not only can they talk, they can talk a lot, to the point where they usually won't shut up. Ask them a question, and pow, open the floodgates of babble, and I mean babble, here. It's all nonsense. Chances are they won't have understood the question, and chances are they won't be using any of the right words, and it's pretty much a given that you won't have any idea what they're talking about. "Yes, yes, that's it. This is that and that and you know how that is. I'm a dentist." What? But as if that weren't bad enough, they don't even realize there's something wrong. They think they're just fine, and when they can fathom that they're here, they can't even fathom why, inquiring "What am I coming in this beet grinder?" and the like. Really, 'beet grinder'? One of them asked me that once, and as if that weren't clue enough; the guy was completely oblivious. And he was one of the better ones. Didn't have that many other problems, at least. Could dress himself. Have you any idea how few patients here can dress themselves? I suppose I should be grateful since it gives me a job that ain't janitorial, but yeesh, that's depressing.

Comments about Meister Turtleneck Women's, Black, L:
Bought two. True fit. Warm enough yet not too warm for varying temps. I want more colors.
Comments about Meister Turtleneck Women's, Black, L:
I measured the length of the body before washing for the first time (it had not even been worn at all - straight from the package). After one wash and dry cycle, the length shrunk 2 inches. The length of the sleeves also shrunk by the same amount. Fortunately, they let me return it for a full refund.
Comments about Meister Turtleneck Women's, Black, L:
Unfortunately I cannot find a turtleneck that I like. I want more spandex in the neck and cuffs. I do not like air going down my neck or up my wrists.

I have other Meister turtlenecks; the warmth of the shirt is unbelievable on those windy or cold days skiing. This last one arrived a little snug around the neck, but it will stretch and all will be well.

TV Ratings: Soft 'Grey's Anatomy' return gives ABC Thursday split
Fast National ratings for Thursday, April 23, 2009.
It wasn't an encouraging Thursday for the major TV networks. ABC's dramas had soft returns, CBS "Harper's Island" continues to slip and NBC's "Southland" took a drop after delivering solid numbers in its first two weeks.
ABC won the night in the 18-49 demographic, doing a 3.2 rating, nipping the 3.1 rating for CBS. NBC's 2.7 rating and the 2.6 rating for FOX were also close in the key demo. The CW's 1.2 rating was enough for fifth.
Overall, though, CBS averaged an estimated 11.1 million viewers to go with a 7.0 rating/12 share. ABC's 6.2/10 followed closely, with FOX's 4.8/8 a ways back in third. NBC finished fourth with a 4.3/7, beating the 1.9/3 for The CW.
CBS won the 8 p.m. hour with a 6.9/12 for "Survivor: Tocantins." FOX's "Bones" had a 5.4/9 for second. A repeat of "Grey's Anatomy" on ABC tied for third with the 3.5/6 for NBC's "My Name Is Earl" and "Parks & Recreation." The CW finished fifth the 2.0/3 for a new "Smallville."
"CSI: Crime Scene Investigation" was on the low side for CBS with a 9.2/14 in the 9 p.m. hour. ABC's "Grey's Anatomy," with its first new episode in weeks, was also low with an 8.8/14. FOX's "Hell's Kitchen" was a distant" third, nipping the 4.1/7 averaged by NBC's "The Office" and "30 Rock." The CW's "Supernatural" had a 1.8/3.
In the 10 p.m. hour, ABC's "Private Practice" held the lead with a 6.4/11. The return of the ABC show took a big bite out of NBC's "Southland," which was down to a 5.3/9. "Harper's Island" took a smaller drop, but still held third.
All ratings information comes from preliminary Fast National Nielsen data, which includes live and same-day DVR viewing. All numbers are subject to change.

Mike and Virginia Nowak never stopped playing with toys, and they've been lucky enough to turn a passion for toys into profit. Before they married, each half of the couple worked in the retail toy business. They always wanted to start their own business, Virginia said, and they got their wish much sooner than they expected.
"It was hard because we were so young," she said."We were both about 23 at the time, and the first bank we talked to was like, 'Yeah, right.' They weren't interested at all. But we found a bank that would listen. You can't give up after someone turns you down."
What seemed like such a huge gamble six years ago now looks like it was a sure thing all along. The 4,000-square-foot store, Great American Toy Co., has a staff of six and found its niche in a business dominated by the likes of Toys 'R' Us and Wal-Mart.
"We've found that a lot of our customers are grandparents who are buying toys for the first time since their own kids were little," Virginia said. "Because we're small, we have the time to spend with them, helping them to find a toy that's right for the age and personality of their child."
The Nowaks think one of the perks of being the little guy is the opportunity to get to know their customers, Virginia said.
"What's neat is we'll see a family - mom, dad, kids - come in and then later on, we'll see the grandparents. We say, 'Oh, we saw so-and-so the other day and he really liked this toy or that toy.'
"It's also fun to watch kids grow up. We see some of the same people over and over," she said.
Retrovision and alien babies
Most of the inventory inside Great American Toy Co. is a throwback to fun before batteries. Customers won't find video games or computer-synchronized teddy bears, but they will find Lincoln Logs, Slinkys, marbles and babies, babies, babies.
"We carry Madame Alexander and Lee Middleton dolls. The Lee Middleton dolls are really popular because they're made with a bean-bag type of body that feels like a real baby when you hold it. They're the same size as a real baby, and they have such expressive faces," Virginia said.
Along one row of the store is a display of the kinds of silly but addictive little toys that kids used to find in the back of comic books. See who's sneaking up behind you with a pair of Retrovision goggles, squeeze a round out of the Potato Gun or freak out your little sister by hiding a couple of tiny, glow-in-the-dark Alien Babies in her bed.
"People are always surprised at the stuff we carry. Ninety percent of the products we sell come from companies that don't advertise. It's mostly little Mom-and-Pop vendors," Virginia said.
"We do lots of research, and we go to the International Toy Fair in New York every February to look at new and different toys," she said.
Since 3-year-old Kaitlin started spending more time at the store, the Nowaks have found that their daughter is a one-girl toy testing committee.
"Oh, yeah, she does have a lot to do with toys we buy. If she doesn't like it, it makes us think twice," Virginia said.
Use your imagination
A child's imagination is one of the best toys ever, Virginia said, and they buy products that aim to spark kid's natural creativity.
"One thing I'm proud of is that we carry so many dress-up clothes for boys. They usually get left out of that, but they like to play and pretend just like little girls," she said.
Among the different personas that boys can choose from are Fireman, Policeman, Plains Indian and Medieval Knight. And every part of the cowboy costume, including the box, looks like it came out of a time capsule. Complementing the costume are small, leather-covered canteens, gold sheriff's stars and several different kinds of cap guns.
Other popular items in the store are the Brio wooden train sets, Playmobil people and houses, and furry puppets.
"We love to special order if someone has an idea of what they're looking for," Virginia said. "And we love to make suggestions if they don't have, really, any idea what a child might like."
Great American Toy Co., at 3333 Coulter St., is open from 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. Monday through Saturday, and from noon to 6 p.m. on Sunday. More information is available at 353-6397.

"We rate DU PONT (E I) DE NEMOURS (DD) a BUY. This is based on the convergence of positive investment measures, which should help this stock outperform the majority of stocks that we rate. The company's strengths can be seen in multiple areas, such as its largely solid financial position with reasonable debt levels by most measures, attractive valuation levels, expanding profit margins, good cash flow from operations and increase in stock price during the past year. We feel these strengths outweigh the fact that the company has had sub par growth in net income."STOCKS TO BUY: TheStreet Quant Ratings has identified a handful of stocks that can potentially TRIPLE in the next 12 months.

First, the neigberhood! Amazing, its just after that we realise it was in the childhood of our favorite hip hop artists. The owner was friendly and easygoing, she gave us all the indications that we needed. Métro station by 10 minutes walks. If you dont wanna return un Manhattan for the dinner, you can have wathever you want for good restaurants, less than 15 minutes walk. The only bad comment i can say is that the appartement miss some finished on the details like paint and materials... Overall it was just what we need for 2 nights. I would come again for sure, more for the environnement itselfe than the appartement who was actully great but mot more than that for the price.
we, 2 couples had a fantastic stay in this apartment - luxury the garden, great neighboors - after a long exhausting trip downtown ;-) we will recommend that flat to you - and will come back fore sure - Stephen and his wife are smart, helpful and 24h available - by text or email - if necessary - All in all - we did enjoy!
Convenient place in Brooklin, 800 m from subway to Manhattan and JFK airport. The apartment looks spacious and has good wifi connectivity. The apt. requires a bit of maintenance but is good enough for a week stay. Both Steve and his wife Velma are very helpful and my family had an enjoyable stay
This really was a splendid stay in Stephen and Velma's apartment: we were welcome very kindly and the apartment is convenient and comfortable, a place where you feel fine after a day of discovery and amazement in NYC. To be recommended !
We kregen uiteindelijke een ander appartement dan dat we voor betaald hadden, dus dat viel tegen. Het appartement was niet bijzonder, veel trappen en oude troep. Slechte bedden en muizen door de kamer. We hebben ondanks alles wel genoten want het is wel fijn als je met meerdere mensen bent, om samen na te kunnen praten en je eigen ontbijtje te maken. We hebben Stephen en Velma nauwelijks gezien, dus van tips was geen sprake. Ik zou het niet zo snel meer doen. Beter orienteren in welke wijk je terecht komt.
Als wir ankamen wurden wir herzlich von Stephens Frau Velma begrüßt, beide sind sehr nett und hilfreich gewesen! Die nächste U-Bahnstation war gute 10 Minuten von dem Apartment entfernt und Einkaufsmöglichkeiten gab es auch genug. Wir hatten ein anderes Apartment bekommen als wir gebucht hatten, was nicht sonderlich schlimm war da es 3 Apartments im Haus sind. Die Nachbarn sind alle sehr zuvorkommend gewesen und die Gegend war auch gut da es keine Touristen gab! Das Apartment im Dach das wir bekamen hat für eine Woche gereicht, jedoch benötigt es dringend eine Renovierung und Grundreinigung, da Allergiker ihre Probleme haben könnten da es kleine Untermieter gibt. Trotzdem hat es uns dort sehr gefallen und nochmals danke an Stephen und Velma für ihre Gastfreundschaft.
Très bon accueil
Appartement grand et relativement confortable, mais visiblement pas encore tout à fait terminé ....
Bonne expérience d'une immersion en quartier populaire et très sympathique.
The studio on the first floor at the back of 305 Jefferson Avenue did not live up to our expectations described on the web site. It was still under renovation and offered the bare minimum. The impression was dull and tired looking. Windows dirty and only one opened. Very difficult to find at night as there was no outside light. Lots of flaking paint, bare wires, and broken step.
I booked this studio for the 30th of July 2015 for me, my husband and my son. The host Stephen sent his friend Daphne to open the studio for us, but when we got there we noticed that the studio was really dirty, needing a lot of conservation, lights were broken, window so dirty you almost could not see through it, the mattress was incredibly old, not to speak about the dirty third bed which mattress was impossible to sleep so bad it was its condition!
Daphne was very very nice and called the host on her own telephone and put us on line. Stephen did not wanted us to stay for only one night because he had somebody interested on the studio for the next day, so we agreed together that we would not stay and he would refund us through Paypal.
Wimdu could check the veracity of these facts simply calling Daphne which phone number is on my Wimdu's inbox, on my talks to the host Stephen.
But know he does not answer my phone calls or inbox contacts. I have opened a dispute through Paypal but they did not ask me for any proof and denied to give me back the $242, giving the success of the cause to WIMDU!
