'Be Kind' inspires homemade remakes
Talk about tapping an unproven talent pool.
A homegrown contest inspired by New Line's upcoming Jack Black starrer "Be Kind Rewind" — in which Black and videostore worker Mos Def cover up the loss of demagnetized videotapes by shooting their own mini remakes — had wannabe filmmakers flooding Alamo Drafthouse Cinema with their own low-tech redos of famous films.The Austin suds-and-cinema chain instructed contestants to submit remakes less than five minutes in length. The shorts, submitted to filmmakingfrenzy.com, were to screen Feb. 18-20 at the South Lamar outpost, with the winner crowned in a Feb. 21 ceremony in advance of the pic's opening at the theater the next day.
Among the entries vying for the crown: a surprisingly evocative "Say Anything" clip by Team Fogar that matches the cadences of John Cusack and Ione Skye, and a "Breakfast Club" parody subbing characters from the New Testament for the pic's original teen delinquents. An especially amusing "Star Wars" short features a male thesp in drag as Princess Lea.
Not surprisingly, the quality varies hugely from clip to clip, as does the attempted comedy. (Drafting a 9/11 framework on "Rocky" was no doubt intended as subversive, but poorly executed.)
Most of all, the entries illustrate how difficult it can be to pull off deliberately low-fi productions in an amusing fashion. User-generated content may be all the rage, but sometimes comedy's best left to the pros.

Whitman County District 12 declared the burn ban Wednesday evening due to extremely dry conditions.
Pullman Fire Chief Mike Heston gave us some advice on how you can hopefully prevent any accidental fires on your property.
"Take away the piles of wood, and any dead grass, and mow the grass down, keep things green as much as possible, piles of wood around your place, cut back some branches and juniper bushes," said Fire Chief Heston. "Those things lead to extra fires."
The burn ban will remain in place until further notice.

British sports car brand changes distribution hands and revises line-up.
The Lotus badge still carries the initials of its founder, Anthony Colin Bruce Chapman, whose "performance through light weight" ethos remains ingrained in the company despite his premature death in 1982. Motorsport-obsessed Chapman formed Lotus Engineering Company in 1952, with Team Lotus coming two years later to become one of the most formidable grand prix teams of the '60s and '70s with seven constructors' titles and six driver's titles in Formula One – with legendary drivers (such as Jim Clark) and legendary race cars (such as the Lotus 79, with its "ground effects" aerodynamics). 1956's Lotus Eleven started a trend for models beginning with the letter E, including the Elite, Elan, Elise, Evora … and the Esprit that became the company's most indelible model after transforming into an underwater car in the 1977 James Bond film The Spy Who Loved Me. Group Lotus's consultancy subsidiary Lotus Engineering has helped develop cars for other manufacturers, including the legendary Vauxhall Lotus Carlton of the '90s and a range of models from Malaysian parent company Proton.Read more

Family Traditions: Bronzed baby shoes
For generations, parents have been bronzing their children's first pair of shoes as a family keepsake. Parents often wish to recall the sweet, tender memories of their toddler's first steps, which only happen once. The bronzed shoes can be mounted and displayed for generations.
What is it about baby shoes that elicit such sentimental emotions? Are a baby's first steps more monumental than their first bite of solid food? What about preserving a lock of hair from a child's very first haircut? There are so many firsts in a child's life, but it seems as if choosing their first pair of shoes to preserve for the future is arbitrary. Continue reading "Family Traditions: Bronzed baby shoes" »

Ingram certainly projects as a 1st Round selection this April, with a top ten selection not out of the question.
Whenever you are looking at drafting a player in the first round, the intangibles are often just as important as what you can see on the field. Teams are very wary of picking another Ryan Leaf or Charles Rogers. This former Heisman Trophy recipient certainly seems to act the part. Gentry Estes, former Alabama and current Georgia reporter had this to say on Ingram's commitment to the game.
"From Mark Ingram's first practice at Alabama, he impressed coaches with his maturity and overall knowledge and passion for the game," Estes stated. "Football was just so important to him. Because of that, he never got full of himself or complacent."
A great mental state can get you so far, but you do need some talent to make it in the NFL. Ingram doesn't disappoint in that area either. His power and speed combination is rare, allowing him to be nearly equally effective inside and outside the tackles. He also excels in the passing game, although his protection skills need a bit of polish.
Ingram Highlight Video - Youtube.com
Perhaps the only thing holding Ingram back from being an even higher pick in 2011 is the lack of bad teams that need a new ball-carrier. That said, these three teams certainly could use an upgrade at the position.
Unfortunately for Ingram, perhaps the first team that has a realistic need at running back is Washington, with Clinton Portis unable to be counted upon and Rex Grossman in need of a strong running game. Mike Shanahan has never been one to draft RB's too high, but Dan Snyder might enjoy making a glitzy pick.
Miami certainly seem like a natural fit for Ingram, as Ronnie Brown and Ricky Williams might be on their way out. Ingram also has extensive experience in the Wildcat offense, although that might be a moot point with the Dolphins quarterbacks coach David Lee, "inventor" of the Wildcat, leaving for Ole Miss.
New England is another team that could use some youth at the running back position, as Sammy Morris and Fred Taylor aren't getting any younger. The Patriots have a legitimate starter in BenJarvus Green-Ellis, but a 1-2-3 punch of Ingram, Green-Ellis, and Danny Woodhead would make an incredible offense even more dangerous.
If Ingram ends up in the right system, with a decent offensive line in front of him, the sky is the limit for his NFL future. One need only look to Jacksonville's Maurice Jones-Drew, another small but powerful back that has nary a weakness to be found, to see what Ingram might become.
If teams aren't able to land Ingram, there are a few consolation prizes out there.
Ingram Not The Only Option
Demarco Murray, Oklahoma - You can't say it better than Mervin Johnson, OU football announcer. "You knew that he would get his yards, but you couldn't predict how. The yards might come from rushing,receiving or kick returns---or all of the above."
Mikel Leshoure, Illinois - This junior tailback is a powerful runner that also has enough speed to take it to the house. He doesn't have the vision of a Pro Bowler at this point of his career, but he has enough raw talent to intrigue lots of teams.
Ryan Williams, Virginia Tech - Very few collegiate backs have the burst and power of Williams, but his lack of production in the receving game will be a concern to many NFL teams.
Shane Vereen, Cal - Running backs from Cal have been hot lately (Marshawn Lynch, Justin Forsett, Jahvid Best) and Vereen shouldn't disappoint. A north/south style of runner, Vereen is content with gaining chunks of 6-7 yards rather than going for the homerun. His receiving skills are also top-notch.

"We want the show to feel like a party with your friends. But with 97% less barfing and 100% more Channing Tatum," says Sara Schaefer.
"Our audience really responds to fun, clever voices that bring something new to the pop culture conversation," said Susanne Daniels, President of Programming, MTV. "Each week, Nikki and Sara's irreverent take on what's happening in the world of entertainment will be a refreshing live alternative in late night television and an exciting addition to MTV's line-up."
Nikki Glaser first gained notoriety during season four of Last Comic Standing when she advanced to the semifinals while still attending college. Since then, Nikki has performed stand up on Conan and The Tonight Show with Jay Leno. Her TV/film credits include appearances in the film Punching the Clown, the comedy documentary I Am Comic, and Amy Schumer's pilot for Comedy Central. Nikki now headlines clubs and colleges, has been invited to the Just for Laughs Comedy Festival in 2007, 2011, and 2012. She can be seen performing regularly at The Comedy Cellar in New York and other venues around the country.
Sara Schaefer is a renowned stand-up comedian, writer, and producer based in New York City. She won two Emmy awards for her work on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon, was named one of Comedy Central's Comics to Watch in 2010. Sara has written for BestWeekEver.tv and Who Wants to Be a Millionaire. She has appeared on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon, Best Week Ever, E!, Fuse, and AOL.

So when gta4 came out, I was one of the people who picked it up on release. Played it through happily with flawless gfx.
I bought a new 360 recently and went to play it, but all the shadows are grainy and hard to look at. Makes it feel like there is too much going on at once. I know it's not just me because I saw the same thing on my friends pc.
Has anyone else had this problem before and is there a fix? I've searched around and apparently there is a lot of people with this problem.
example: http://www.multiplay..._1228240567.jpg
That is the pc version... on my console version it's much worse.

Young voters, Hispanics, single women, and black folks, that was the coalition Mr. Obama used to win a second term last night. And, you know the problem with conservatives post-Ronald Reagan is that for some odd reason we've been too afraid to be conservative. I know you guys have heard this before and will continue to hear it from the establishment types inside the Beltway and in Manhattan.
I had a conversation on Twitter with a young man who was a progressive and a Christian. He was apart of a group of people that are Christ followers but also adopt progressive principles such as social justice and environmentalism. After speaking with him I thought to myself: Why can't conservatives appeal to these same voters who share our Christian beliefs, but vote Democrat?
Why can't conservatives in the Republican party talk about caring for the poor and taking care of the environment, not from a global warming big government perspective, but from a true church perspective according to the gospels. Why is it that for decades we've allowed the left to define the terms of caring for those less fortunate than others?
When it comes to social issues and poverty conservatives have come off like a cross between John Lithgow's character in Foot Loose and Ebenezer Scrooge from A Christmas Carol.
I can't tell you how wrong headed it is for Todd Akin and Richard Murdock talking about rape. I'm not bashing them, but as I said on Twitter last night, old white men talking about rape is never good. Absolutely no good can come of such components being in the same realm of each other.
We ought to serious consider a new approach: Jesus
Why not? Why can't we communicate on the issues of the poor, the environment, and morality in relation to Jesus Christ? Are we so afraid to be viewed as some kind of religious zealot that we've abandoned what comes so natural to a lot of us in order to embrace this hobbled old horse of a platform that consists of tax Cuts, more tax cuts, spending cuts, and capitalism?
Do we know anything else? It's like some words I can start a drinking game with if I dipped, but I don't drink. Mitt Romney's entire economic plan was tax cuts and spending cuts, nothing else.
We need to give more of a shout out to the poor beyond saying we spoke with three poor people on the way to a fundraiser in Ohio.
Am I a compassionate conservative? Absolutely, I believe it works. You don't have to blow up government to be a compassionate conservative. Compassion comes from tone, your appeal to those who need compassion, not the programs you think you can create in government. George Bush failed in this regard and the compassionate conservatives like David Brooks and David Frum don't have the answers either. To them government is the central force behind compassion, I don't agree.
Essentially they're arguing for liberalism but under a new alias. I'm every bit the small government, spending cut, lower taxes, free market conservative, but I can also talk with people on a level that lets them know I genuinely feel their hurt. No one can feel that better than Christ followers who are commanded to help those who cannot help themselves. If nothing else conservatives and Republicans need to listen better, and thus be able to respond to people who would otherwise believe the GOP has little concern for them.
I'm not advocating we water down conservatism and I'm certainly not suggesting we water down the word of God. But it would prove beneficial if conservatives and Republicans drop the anger. We don't always have to be the angry ones guys. All throughout this campaign conservatives were either vengeful, angry, sad, or unreasonable. Let the other side be that way, we're better than that; Jesus is better than that.
That's not how we win souls to Christ, and that's not how we win elections.

- 1⁄2 teaspoon salt (to taste)
- 1⁄4 teaspoon white pepper
- Bake potatoes until done.
- Cut potatoes in half to make boats and place on baking sheet.
- Remove about half of potato from skins and mix with butter, salt and pepper.
- Return potato filling to skins, leaving a shallow well in the middle of each.
- Break one egg over each potato half.
- Bake at 350F for 10 minutes.
Most Helpful
Very good. I had this for dinner with a simple salad of sliced tomatoes and cucumbers and it hit the spot! I think it would be good any time of the day. I couldn't resist putting a little cheese on top so I used a combo of feta and parmesan to keep it Greek. It did take 15 mins in my oven to get the eggs cooked the way I liked (with fully cooked whites and soft yolk) Made for ZWT9
We enjoyed this - so flavorful for just a few ingredients. Mine also took longer to cook - the whites were still clear at 10 minutes. I just kept watching them until they were ready a few minutes later. Thanks for sharing! ZWT9

|Both deceased
| Adam (father)
Eve (mother)
Cain and Abel are the sons of Adam and Eve and the ancestors of the Winchesters, making them a part of their bloodline, which proves useful in containing Michael and Lucifer.
Season 5Edit
The archangel Michael takes John Winchester as a temporary vessel. He explains to Dean that he has many potential vessels that are suitable to hold him because of their bloodline, which stretches all the way back to Cain and Abel.
Season 6Edit
Castiel, speaking of his early life, mentions his memory of Cain and Abel.
Season 9Edit
Cain reveals that Lucifer tried to corrupt Abel to turn him into his "pet." In order to stop this, Cain made a deal so that Abel's soul would go to Heaven and in exchange Cain's would go to Hell. Lucifer agreed on the condition that Cain kill Abel. Cain did with the First Blade and became a demon and the first Knight of Hell.
Season 10Edit
When Cain and Dean fight, Cain tells Dean that their stories are the reverse of each other: Cain's started when he killed his brother while Dean's will end when he kills his. Cain tries to kill Dean but is killed by him instead.

Rep. Perone lauds a change reported by the Connecticut Insurance Department to cover medically necessary infertility treatment for women over 40 years of age, fully implementing legislation he previously championed through the legislature.
The Connecticut Department of Labor Commissioner recently released a report regarding the Subsidized Training and Employment (Step Up) Program. I am pleased to review the report and see the praiseworthy results of this program. Helping our state's small businesses grow and expand, while connecting them to unemployed jobseekers who want to participate, is a win for all.
A measure that would allow state manufacturers to add a "Made-in-CT" logo to their locally produced products passed the House of Representatives.
I was invited to "Meet the Leaders" to discuss the need to increase state revenue including the implications of bringing in new state casinos.

As we monitor media outlets from all over the country to see what they have to report on pupil transportation matters, we've been coming across a lot of bad news lately.
A back-to-school story topic that popped up in many newspapers is about how the local school district has scaled back its transportation services this year.
In some cases, walking distances have been increased. For example, children might have to live more than two miles from school to be eligible for a bus ride, whereas before it was 1.5 miles. In other cases, the number of bus stops has been significantly reduced.
Funding troubles
A report by the American Association of School Administrators (AASA) earlier this year gave an overview of what districts are facing. Seventy-five percent of administrators who responded to the survey described their districts as "inadequately funded." That percentage increased eight points since October 2008, when 67 percent of administrators described their districts as such.
The AASA study asked what actions districts were taking in response to the economic downturn for the 2009-10 school year compared to the 2008-09 school year. Many of the findings are unsettling. They include:
On the pupil transportation front, the percentage of districts cutting bus routes and availability rose from 14 percent in 2008-09 to 23 percent in 2009-10.
Finding the positives
While that last statistic may seem gloomy at first glance, we can also use it to look on the bright side: More than three-fourths (77 percent) of the districts that AASA surveyed are not making transportation service cuts this year.
A reader poll on our own Website covered similar terrain. We asked pupil transporters how their 2009-10 operations budget compares to last year's. As of this writing, 69 percent of respondents had said that their budget was the same as or larger than last year's.
The Brownsville Herald in Texas offered an example of a district that's not trimming bus service. This year, the newspaper reported, Brownsville Independent School District (BISD) will spend $15.4 million of its $493.1 million budget on student transportation. That's an increase of 7.7 percent from the 2008-09 school year, when the district spent $14.3 million.
BISD is even providing bus rides home for students who stay for after-school tutorial sessions. Interim Superintendent Brett Springston told the Herald that school buses are part of the district's success.
My point here is not to downplay the fiscal crises that so many school systems are experiencing, but rather to provide more perspective on the pupil transportation picture.
For districts that have had to make transportation cuts, Peggy Burns' article in this issue gives excellent guidance on identifying and fixing potential legal issues related to cost cutting.

Indiana Pacers
Central Division
Indiana Pacers Power Rankings - 2015-16
|Power Ranking
|Week 24
|Maybe squeaking into the playoffs dulls the shine a little, but let's not gloss over the fact that Paul George -- for all the hassle we've given him about his .417 shooting from the field -- is closing in on 1,900 points in what ranks as a runaway Comeback Player of the Year season. Only two Pacers (Billy Knight with 2,075 points in 1976-77 and Reggie Miller with 2,016 in 1989-90) have ever exceeded that output.
|Week 23
|It would have been a truly disastrous week for the Pacers had they blown all of a late lead Sunday night at Madison Square Garden with neither Carmelo Anthony nor Kristaps Porzingis in uniform for the Knicks. Back-to-back home losses to Chicago and Orlando were plenty costly on their own, with Indy just two games ahead of the ninth-seeded Bulls and Chicago now holding the head-to-head tiebreaker by winning the season series 3-1.
|Week 22
|After his Sunday night efforts in a much-needed home triumph over Houston, Paul George is up to nine games this season with at least 25 points and 10 rebounds, compared to just 10 such games total in PG-13's first five NBA seasons. The Pacers, though mired for weeks closer to No. 8 in the East than they hoped to be, quietly clinched their 27th successive season with a winning record at home last week.
|Week 21
|Poor Paul George. He rumbles for 45 points Saturday night against visiting Oklahoma City ... and is scarcely noticed because of the havoc wreaked by Russell Westbrook (with his fifth triple-double in eight games) and Kevin Durant (with a mere 33 points, 13 rebounds and 8 assists in support). The Pacers, meanwhile, are now 14-14 in their league-leading 28 games decided by five points or fewer; Minnesota (10-17) and Denver (14-11) are next in line with 27 and 25, respectively.
|Week 20
|The Pacers endured their worst loss of the season in Sunday's 29-point drubbing in Atlanta, which naturally dulls some of the shine from what had otherwise been a fine week, thanks to a home win over San Antonio and success in Dallas in Monta Ellis' return to Big D. Now to see what sort of impact Ty Lawson can make in Indy's final 16 games, 11 of which are helpfully at home.
|Week 19
|The first back-to-back games in Paul George's career in which he cracked the 35-point plateau earned the Pacers only a weekend split on the road in Charlotte and Washington. Despite his slip in player efficiency rating to 20.9, George remains one of just three players leaguewide to lead his team in points, rebounds and steals this season, joining New Orleans' Anthony Davis and Atlanta's Paul Millsap.
|Week 18
|He's realistically not going to unseat Karl-Anthony Towns (or even pass Kristaps Porzingis and Jahlil Okafor) in the NBA Rookie of the Year balloting. But we should have had more to say about Myles Turner in our Second Trimester awards over the weekend, given how he appeared in only 10 of Indiana's first 32 games but is averaging nearly 14 points and seven rebounds as a starter entering the Pacers' February finale in Cleveland.
|Week 17
|More and more, Indiana is seeing the Monta Ellis it expected when he arrived as the Pacers' marquee offseason acquisition. He was Indy's top scorer in much-needed weekend wins at Oklahoma City and Orlando, though Ellis still sports the second-largest PPG decrease (minus-4.9 PPG) for any player who started at least 40 games last season behind LaMarcus Aldridge (minus-6.5 PPG).
|Week 16
|Ready to feel old? As we await a potential George Hill trade (or something bigger?) from the Pacers this week, bear in mind that All-Star Weekend marked the 30th anniversary of Larry Bird's Three-Point Contest triumph in Dallas. As for Paul George: His 41 All-Star points trumped Michael Jordan's 40 in 1988, tied Russell Westbrook's total in 2015 and fell one shy of Wilt Chamberlain's in 1962.
|Week 15
|Of the 21 players averaging at least 20 PPG, none has a lower FG percentage than Paul George's .412, even after he shot .475 from the field in November. And a 7-11 record in games decided by five points or less -- more losses in those circumstances than any team but Minnesota (13) -- continues to sting. The flip side: Indy is hanging in there as a top-five team in defensive efficiency.
|Week 14
|Having recovered from a broken thumb, Myles Turner suddenly looks like the Pacers' most productive rookie since a kid named Reggie Miller in 1987-88. The Pacers, though, have to be a bit concerned that Paul George has basically been a 40 percent shooter for the past two months, while Monta Ellis only just produced his first 30-point game of the season (after 10 last season).
|Week 13
|In a tightly bunched Eastern Conference in which No. 12 Orlando trailed No. 5 Boston by a mere 2.5 games as of Monday morning, every L tends to be magnified. And no one knows it better, at the moment, than the Pacers, who are 5-9 in games decided by four points or fewer and, according to the Elias Sports Bureau, have played more such games than any team in the league.
|Week 12
|Painful ending to a rough week for the Pacers: Will Barton shook loose to score 15 of Denver's 45 points in the final period Sunday night to move into a tie with James Harden, Russell Westbrook, Jimmy Butler and (you guessed it) Indy's Paul George for the league lead in fourth quarters with at least 15 points. Those five guys have all done that trick three times this season.
|Week 11
|Sunday night's duel in Houston played out pretty predictably for two of the league's five teams that have already played four overtime games. The Rockets, flanking James Harden with both Corey Brewer and Trevor Ariza, found a way to escape and improve to 4-0 in OT. The Pacers, meanwhile, squandered a late 13-point lead and dropped to a frustrating 0-4 in OT games.
|Week 10
|Were we guilty of being seduced too much by Paul George's Eastern Conference Player of the Month effort in November when doling out our recent First Trimester Awards? Fair question. PG-13 endured a pretty pedestrian December (down to 21.4 PPG on .371 shooting) before welcoming himself to 2016 with that R-rated late detonation that doomed Detroit.
|Week 9
|Frank Vogel is probably not going to win Coach of the First Trimester honors when our selections are released later this week because the field is too dang deep. But we can't say enough about Vogel's role in changing Indy's identity on the fly, especially with marquee offseason acquisition Monta Ellis not exactly making a splash so far.
|Week 8
|Not sure you'll see a more dramatic turnaround all season than what the Pacers served up a week ago on Monday night mere hours after the rankings hit cyberspace. From 26-5 down, Indiana uncorked a 47-15 response heading into halftime that left visiting Toronto reeling and set the tone for an encouraging 3-1 week.
|Week 7
|The team defense that wowed you almost as much as Paul George's return to brilliance during Indiana's recent six-game win streak has vanished. Culminating in the home loss to Golden State in a much-hyped affair, Indy became the first team this season to allow 122-plus points in three successive games.
|Week 6
|LeBron James. Kevin Durant. Kawhi Leonard. Carmelo Anthony. And Paul George. In what order would you rank the game's foremost fivesome of small forwards? The fact that George has so spectacularly soared right back into that upper class is a big reason why Tuesday night's Warriors-Pacers date is going to be mega-hyped.
|Week 5
|Frank Vogel has taken to calling Paul George this league's best two-way player. And who can argue at the minute? With not a lot of Pacers playing peak ball around him and the team changing its style on the fly, Indy starts a new week as the East's No. 2 team in nightly point differential at +6.2 and fresh off a sparkly 11-2 record in November.
|Week 4
|The Paul George Report: He's averaging 24.8 PPG, 8.5 RPG and 4.8 APG, all of which will go down as career-bests if he can maintain those levels all season. He also made it clear last week that he's "not a fan of analytics," but PG-13's 24.2 PER is also on course to set a new franchise NBA record, well ahead of Danny Granger's 21.8 in 2008-09.
|Week 3
|Paul George has scored at least 26 points in six straight games, which accounts for the longest such streak of his career. Better yet for the Pacers: A four-point loss in Cleveland is their only L in those games. Monta Ellis' shooting numbers remain a concern and now rookie Myles Turner is hurt, but PG's play is covering up a lot.
|Week 2
|One thing the Pacers can still count on in these uncertain times: Beating Miami at home. Indy has now won eight in a row against the visiting Heat in the regular season after Friday night's proceedings. I honestly didn't like the unis from Hoosiers as much as I anticipated -- but who cares? Paul George is starting to look like Paul George again.
|Week 1
|Having bought into the preseason brilliance of Paul George, we must confess that no one at committee headquarters envisioned the Pacers' first 0-3 start since 2009-10, when they finished a mere 32-50 to earn a No. 10 overall pick that became ... Paul George. Sure didn't expect the rough start Monta Ellis is having, either.
|After all the initial (and vocal) resistance from Paul George about his move to the 4 spot, PG-13 ended up assembling a pretty convincing preseason. If he's as back as he's looked lately -- and if Monta Ellis can find a niche as quickly as he did in Dallas -- Indy should prove to be a pesky out despite its newfound smallness.
|Training Camp
|Maybe I need to ease up on the East some. With Miami, Milwaukee and the makeover Indiana is trying, it should be, at worst, more of a watchable conference than it has been lately. The small and fast Pacers? Not sure if Paul George will warm to power forward or click with Monta Ellis, but it should be good theatre.

On Tap Today: The election's upon us
Will Obama be re-elected for a second presidential term? Will Mitt Romney and his Wisconsin-based VP candidate Paul Ryan take over the White House? One thing is for certain - this election thing is a pretty big deal, particularly in a so-called battleground state like Wisconsin. So unique entertainment options appear to be a bit spare tonight as we wait to see how this election will pan out.
That said, the Riverwest Public House Cooperative at 815 E. Locust St. has found a way to celebrate the election and bring some much needed fun to the evening. It's been preparing for tonight with a series of "Hot Blind Debates" discussions this fall in addition to screening the actual presidential debates. Tonight, election coverage will be playing on two big screen TVs, with raffle prizes for guessing the popular vote in states before they're called, plus political jokes and "I Voted" drink specials. Oh, and according to the site, depending on how things go, cat videos might be shared as well. »Read Full Blog Post

Crowds at Summerfest led to long lines, jammed exit
Melanie Leadingham, a 22-year-old Oshkosh native and longtime Summerfest regular, got to the festival grounds at 7:30 p.m. Saturday to find long ticket lines running from the festival gates to the street.
Leadingham said Sunday that she stood in line for about two hours before "it got really bad." A teenage girl pushed Leadingham down for asking that she stay in line. Leadingham got back up — only to have someone else behind her push her up against the glass of a ticket window. »Read Full Article(99)

I just got back from filming a segment for IBM on my favorite innovation. I didn't think this would be a hard decision -- but it was. I thought about GPS and how much it helps me in this unfamiliar NY area....virtual communities like this blog that allow you to have a relationship without having ever met, or cell phones and blackberries that keep me connected no matter where I go. I love my digital camera....and the list goes on and on.
How do you pick your favorite innovation? What's yours?
Think about it. It is a hard choice!!
This is one of the reasons I am so jazzed about being able to focus on SOA for IBM . Why are the 2 (innovation and SOA linked)? To me innovation is all about being able to change, see change, be change. SOA allows that change to occur in the business. SOA is a key enabler of innovation!
Talk to you later!
What's your favorite.....

Top news snapshots from the week ending on May 24, 2013.
PiRsquared: Gingrich has been pushing this insane Bill Clinton talk since the first debate. Trump must have decided he and Gingrich are holier than Bill with the number of affairs, mistresses, wives the two of them have had. What a trio to preach fidelity to the evangelical when you toss Guilani whose comments duplicate Gingrich's. I believe this is a bad mistake for Donald and could very well be the demise of his candidacy as this is nothing more than trash talk from a philanderer replacing the issues he needs to speak about in his campaign.

Pig-Out President Disrespects Government-Run Health-Care System
Not three days after his government doctor told him to cut back on cholesterol, Barack Obama ate a big greasy plate of fried "get out of my face, hippie" food, described below. Why must the president constantly embarrass socialized medicine?
Here's how Obama responded to the taxpayer-funded advice to cut back on fat provided him by his personal death panel doctor, the Chief Wife House Physician Capt. Jeffrey Kuhlman, according to a fresh pool report:
Holding a plate of Southern food, POTUS joked to the press: "I don't want any lectures about my cholesterol. Don't tell Michelle". That of course stems from the results of his physical last Sunday.
The set menu here includes (brace): fried chicken, mashed potatoes, sweet potatoes, macaroni and cheese, collard greens, cream corn, biscuits, corn bread, macaroni salad, turnips, green beans, BBQ pulled pork, blueberry pudding and banana pudding.
So the menu the president is covering up is both lethal and racist. Great.

Mar 1, 2012
Asian buy-side participation in LatAm debt deals remains meager, but greater efforts are being made to cultivate accounts from Singapore to Tokyo.
Asia's vast buy-side potential has really yet
to be exploited by Latin American issuers looking to diversify
their funding bases. This is slowly changing, however, as the
region becomes more than just an afterthought through greenshoe
options on dollar bonds, and after América Móvil
(AMX) ventured into the renminbi market this year to mark
LatAm's first-ever renminbi-denominated Dim Sum
Yet, lack of familiarity with LatAm credits, an historic
distrust of the region and an inability to assess high-yield
credits means that Asian investors are only likely to welcome
but a handful of Latin names, despite having considerable sums
of money to put to work.
América Móvil's 1 billion yuan

TermanologyView in iTunes
To preview a song, mouse over the title and click Play. Open iTunes to buy and download music.
Massachusetts-born rapper Termanology quickly rose from underground obscurity to working with some of hip-hop's elite producers, particularly DJ Premier. Growing up in the streets of the predominantly Latino city of Lawrence, MA, informed the half-white, half-Puerto Rican MC's lyrics as he graduated from silly freestyles at age nine to full-fledged verses at the age of 15. He constantly had to travel back and forth from Boston to New York in order to pursue various opportunities, releasing his first material on vinyl in 2001. Closely tied to fellow Lawrence native and mixtape DJ Statik Selektah, Termanology earned the respect of Boston's hip-hop scene with several 12" releases as well as his Hood Politics mixtapes, which gradually came to feature more highly regarded lyricists like Royce da 5'9" and Guru. After releasing the collaborative LP Out the Gate with producer DC the Midi Alien at the onset of 2006, he caught his big break when distinguished producer DJ Premier, whom he met three years earlier, finally gave him one of his signature, scratch-laden beats. The result, "Watch How It Go Down," became an underground hit. Declaring himself the resurrection of his biggest idol, Big Pun, in the opening verse, the conscious hood anthem garnered the earnest MC tons of praise, landing him on the pages of many hip-hop publications, notably The Source's "Unsigned Hype" and XXL's "Show and Prove" columns. The DJ Premier-produced hit later appeared on the Hood Politics, Vol. 4 mixtape in November 2006. ~ Cyril Cordor

Recap: 'The X Factor' Season 3 Top 10 Performances - British Music
It's British Music Night on "The X Factor," which means that the Top 10 Finalists will sing... oh, pretty much whatever they want to. Except for Restless Road. They may struggle a bit.
I'm still going to be missing Sweet Suspense, which missed out on doing a Spice Girls song, and Rachel Potter, who missed out on... something or other.
With Duffy, Adele and Amy Winehouse all within this week's nebulous theme, is Khaya Cohen ready to move up the leaderboard?
Will we pretend that Irish music counts for this theme and that Alex & Sierra can fulfill their life's destiny by doing "Falling Slowly"?
Click through and follow along for the full recap...
8:00 p.m. ET. One Direction! One Direction! They're not here tonight. But they will be performing tomorrow. Sorry, United Kingdom, you've been reduced to "The Land Where One Direction Was Born" to "The X Factor."
8:03 p.m. AC Slater is back. Do I have to call him Mario again? Can't we do an Irish episode so I can call him Mari O'Lopez?
8:04 p.m. Double Elimination tomorrow as well. Yay!
8:05 p.m. Simon Cowell says that tonight's theme won't be a challenge. Who's up first?It's one of Kelly Rowland's Geriatrics, specifically...
Singer: JEFF GUTT
Song: "Bohemian Rhapsody"
My Take: Jeff Gutt, once again, uses his cute son as a prop. And, for some reason, Kelly thinks that Jeff is capable of singing Queen. Oy. I'm concerned. It's funny, because if Jeff Gutt doesn't want me to keep mentioning "Rock of Ages" every week, he shouldn't sing Constantine Maroulis songs. He's sitting on the literal Iron Throne from "Game of Thrones." It's possibly the most awesome thing ever on the "X Factor" stage. I couldn't care less about Jeff brutalizing the high notes, because HE'S SITTING ON THE IRON THRONE. He just doesn't have nearly enough upper range for this song at all. When he's gruff in the middle range, he's fine, but every time he gets too high, it's excruciating. Then at a key moment when the song reaches the big Freddie Mercury glory notes, the cut straight to a different part of the song. Then there's an octave drop at the end. Seriously, if you're giving the guy a Queen song, don't rearrange it into a tacit admission of his vocal limitations.
The Judges Say: "Wow," Paulina says. "I love that you're feeling it, that you're crumbling," Paulina says confusingly. She didn't like the transitions of the arrangement. "This was actually your best performance yet," Demi Lovato says. "I've gotta agree with Demi," Simon says. Sorry. They're both incorrect. Demi and Simon have a fight about why Jeff hasn't made it previously. Vocal limitations. I can answer that.
Singer: TIM OLSTAD
Song: "Sorry Seems To Be The Hardest Word"
My Take: I'd have picked Robbie Williams' "Angels" for Tim, but in an intriguing twist, Tim had decided he wants to sing an Elton John song, on the piano no less. Inexplicable, the audience turns on Tim by clapping along to the song, going against the beat. This is such a stupid song to clap along with. Who started that crap? It's too bad, because it's a reasonably decent performance. Tim could have sung "Bohemian Rhapsody." He would have looked ridiculous, but he would have sounded fine. Here, he's got the whole piano-and-fog staging cliche going on. He should have insisted on sitting in the Iron Throne. Tim has a vocal ease that I appreciate, even if I get nothing from him emotionally other than the identical earnestness every single week.
The Judges Say: "You definitely stepped it up a couple notches this week." Kelly says, even saying that Tim was sexy when he was behind the piano. "I don't even think you needed the piano to be sexy to be honest," Demi coos, saying that he found his lane. "You are like a singing hamster and they want you to be a singing lion and you're not," Simon says, Sphinx-like. "He's little Simba!" Paulina says. Simon tells Tim that his future is more cabaret and Broadway. The audience boos, as if this were the worst insult Simon could muster. Meanwhile, I want to call Tim "Hammy the Hamster" for the rest of the season.
Singer: KHAYA COHEN
Song: "Let It Be"
My Take: It's sad that we're telling a 16-year-old girl that the key to her success on this show isn't having one of the show's two or three best votes, but making people like her. Sigh. This is an odd song choice and it's made even odder when the audience starts clapping along with her. I also don't get the church choir. None of things are going to help make Khaya likable with teenage girls. Why didn't they just let her sing "Rolling in the Deep" and be done with it? On an apparently unrelated side note, Khaya Cohen has a really good voice. She's a lot better than Jeff and she's probably better than Tim. She's got so much potential, but this was a weird showcase.
The Judges Say: Kelly wants Khaya to round more of her vowels off. I'm not exactly sure what that means. Paulina loves that Khaya shows us her soul, but she warns Khaya that she needs to step up her wardrobe. Simon says it was a joke that Khaya was in the Bottom Two last week, telling her to smile and bring puppies in the future, offering her his puppies.
Singer: JOSH LEVI
Song: "Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This)"
My Take: Whose arrangement is this? It's strange and unpleasant, but I like the cutaway to Simon laughing at Josh coming onto the stage through a red phone booth surrounded by dancing bobbies. I'd love to get a choreographer to tell me what they think is happening here. And why. Dancing bobbies. A moving phone booth. Frantic and spastic solo dance moves. Why not use the Iron Throne, too? And lets not talk about the sweeping spotlights or seizure-inducing strobe effects. This is a better mixture of singing and dancing from Josh than last week. But there are too many details distracting me. I get that Paulina wants to show us what a Josh Levi show would look like and sound like, but my only answer is, "It would look and sound strange."
The Judges Say: Kelly is jealous that Paulina gets to mentor Josh. "Your voice reminds me of Chris Brown when he was younger," Demi says, telling Josh to work on his dancing. "That whole sequence with the dancing policemen was just insane," Simon says. "I think he can deliver on that and more," Paulina says meaninglessly.
Singer: ALEX & SIERRA
Song: "Best Song Ever"
My Take: Sigh. No Swell Season for Alex & Sierra. Instead? One Direction. Awww. They're standing on bridge. It's so romaaaaaaaaantic. I wish they were sitting together on the Iron Throne. Sigh. I love this and the One Direction fans are going to hate it with a white hot passion known only to outraged One Direction fans. This is cute, musical and pleasantly harmonic and it sounds almost nothing like the original. Last week's performance was a mess, but this was simple and strong and right.
The Judges Say: "I think you guys should be really proud of yourself," Kelly says, warning them that Alex was much stronger than Sierra. Well, Alex was singing lead almost the entire time and Sierra was just adding the harmony. It wasn't her showcase. "That bridge is a little bit corny," Paulina says. Those are the most accurate words Paulina has ever spoken. Demi calls this her favorite Alex & Sierra performance yet. "The bridge was corny and the 20 dancing policemen weren't?" Simon asks Paulina. Simon calls it a brilliant performance and says they were both amazing. "That is a record. That is original," Simon says.
Singer: RION PAIGE
Song: "Your Song"
My Take: Awww. Rion should be using her little brother like Jeff Gutt uses his son. More Elton John, which Simon thinks isn't suited to her voice. Simon is incorrect on this one. While I don't understand the vines encroaching on Rion's microphone -- they only remind me of "The Ruins" -- I get the passion and the simplicity of the emotion and the emotional connectedness in this performance. Rion's just so good at closing songs with emotional moments that seem completely genuine even with all of this show's lugubrious artifice.
The Judges Say: "Rion. I'm speechless. And I talk way too much," Kelly says, calling Rion "human" and "vulnerable." Kelly also does an impression of Rion's dancing that might be offensive if not for the big smile it gets from Rion. Paulina is pleased. Simon calls Rion "absolutely fantastic." Demi praises her control of the stage and the audience. "You can't be 13," Simon adds.
Singer: CARLITO OLIVERO
Song: "Satisfaction"
My Take: No, Carlito. Last week there wasn't "negativity." There was "criticism." There's a difference. I wonder if Carlito knows that Mick Jagger -- or "Meeek Yagger," as Paulina calls him -- isn't dead and that he still performs to this very day. Carlito is joined by a half-dozen Dancing Carlitos. It's scary. Also scary? That America kept Carlito around while voting Sweet Suspense, Rachel Potter and Khaya Cohen into the Bottom Three. Carlito isn't bad here, but he's being upstaged by reproduced versions of himself on the video screens. Carlito dancing with himself is just funny. That's the part I'll remember from this performance. Not the singing.
The Judges Say: "That was definitely a huge step up from last week," Kelly says, but she still feels like something is missing. Demi thought that the end, when he was dancing with himself, was the best part. She tells him to embrace his Spanish side and be "totally sexy." Simon agrees that Carlito should have sung in Spanish. Simon likes that Carlito is a man and he hopes America keeps him around. Paulina wants more smiling.
Singer: LILLIE MCCLOUD
Song: "This Woman's Work"
My Take: In a vacuum, this is a great song. It's also a great song to get Lillie eliminated. It's a track that Lillie sings spectacularly well in places -- she still has idiosyncratic phrasing choices that confuse me on a weekly basis -- but it's also a track that'll remind the young skewing "X Factor" audience that Lillie is just a wee bit older. She's also a wee bit better than most of the other singers. And yeah, no clue what's happening with the stage presentation or the backing video.
The Judges Say: Paulina is refreshed by the different things Lillie does. It reminded Demi of the Lillie she first saw, but she wants to get a bit more range from Lilie. "It's so easy to take for granted what a great singer you are," Simon says, calling it "absolutely brilliant."
Singer: ELLONA SANTIAGO
Song: "Burn"
My Take: Ellona's just singing this week. No up-tempo dancing. Fortunately, there are people around her dancing in doorways, because why would anybody want to concentrate on Ellona singing? And the clappers are back. The "X Factor" producers need to do something to prevent this in future shows, because it makes the "X Factor" audience seem utterly bush leagues. Do they not understand that Ellona is struggling enough with the rhythm of this song without idiots clapping against the beat because they don't know any better? Because yeah. Ellona just no clue on the pace of this song. She's pretty lost at points in the second half. I could blame the arrangement. Or Ellona's ability to hear the music. But I'm blaming the dumbass audience. It's too bad. Ellona's voice sounds very fine.
The Judges Say: "Your voice is just so big. It's so big," Kelly says, though she expected more from her. Paulina babbles something. Simon thinks Ellona is a brilliant perform, but he feels like he's watching an actress. He tells Ellona to choose the material next week, because "At the moment you're like a dancing, singing puppet." "I don't want to be a dancing, singing puppet. I want to be a fierce performer," Ellona says.
Singer: RESTLESS ROAD
Song: "Fix You"
My Take: Interesting. There's a little country twang to this Coldplay cover, but it's pretty straight-forward. And it's pretty well-delivered. The harmonies are getting better. The stage presence is still a mess, as all three guys do different things that don't always gel. But I like some of the musicality at the end, especially from Neckbeard, who may also be growing a mustache for November.
The Judges Say: Kelly felt like they needed to be more cohesive this week. I thought that vocally, they were fairly cohesive, but stage-wise, they weren't. Paulina thinks they don't show themselves, or something. Demi thought they were good, but they've done better. Demi thinks Jason Street's harmonies were off. I didn't hear that. I'd say that I might need to listen again, but I'm not going to listen again. Simon thought it was one of the night's best performances.
9:58 p.m. Tonight's star was the Iron Throne.
9:59 p.m. The night's worst performances came from Carlito, Jeff and Elona.
That's my opinion. And yours?

Is Laser Surgery the Most Effective Form of Male Breast Reduction?
Doctor Answers 12
There is currently no recommended, FDA-approved medical (i.e. non-surgical) treatment for gynecomastia. While gynecomastia may spontaneously regress in some instances, in most adolescent and adult males the breast tissue development is a permanent change that must be treated surgically. In the few cases where a definite cause can be identified, such as low testosterone levels or exposure to a particular medication, the gynecomastia almost always persists after the causative factor is corrected or eliminated. Because gynecomastia is so different from person to person, it is absolutely critical that the surgical approach to this problem is carefully individualized.
'Pure glandular' gynecomastia ('puffy nipples') in most cases can be treated by direct tissue excision alone. There is no fatty tissue excess and no significant skin excess. The glandular breast tissue enlargement is located immediately behind the nipple and areola, and is removed through an incision placed at the inferior border of the areola. The incision can be limited, in most cases, from about the 4 o'clock to the 8 o'clock position of the areola. The color difference between areolar skin and chest skin serves to conceal this incision quite nicely for most patients. In many cases the scar is completely invisible after just a few weeks or months of healing.
The most common form of gynecomastia ('mixed glandular / adipose') requires ultrasonic liposuction and in some cases direct breast tissue excision as well. Ultrasonic liposuction involves the use of ultrasonic energy to emulsify fat (turn it from solid to liquid) after the infiltration of tumescent solution and before the aspiration of fat. The ultrasonic energy is delivered using a solid probe that is extremely effective at breaking up the dense, fibrous breast tissue behind the nipple-areola complex. In some cases it is effective enough to eliminate the need to make an incision at the areolar border to directly remove breast tissue following ultrasonic liposuction. This practice employs the VASER® ultrasonic liposuction system developed by Sound Surgical Technologies, Inc. A specialized VASER® probe designed specifically for gynecomastia has made the device even more effective for this particular procedure.
Whenever possible, it is preferable to avoid skin excision and the scars that result from it. If the surgery leaves obvious scars and the patient is very self-conscious about them, then the patient has merely traded one reason to never take off their shirt ("man-boobs") for another (scars that show you had surgery for your "man boobs'). In some cases this requires a staged surgical approach. In the first procedure, breast tissue is removed by ultrasonic liposuction with or without direct tissue removal - but only up to the point where a deflated or 'saggier' breast appearance is not produced. Several months are allowed to pass so that the final liposuction result can be evaluated. During this time, the skin tends to retract for two reasons: a significant portion of the distending breast and adipose tissue has been removed, and the energy produced by the ultrasonic liposuction device has stimulated further tissue and skin retraction.

Keep It Simple!
Traditional tumescent power assisted liposuction (PAL) has been
very effective in my hands in the treatment of gynecomastia, especially when
combined with a "Stealth" excision. Addition
of a laser to the liposuction protocol certainly makes it more "high tech", but also adds extra expense and increased the
risk of complications such as inadvertent burns. In surgery, as in most other aspects of life,"
keep it simple" is a good rule of thumb.

Non-Surgical Gynecomastia Treatment?
Unfortunately there is no non-surgical treatment for gynecomastia. Gynecomastia is due to excess breast tissue and only surgery can effectively and predictably remove it. Excess fatty tissue that can give the chest a more feminine look can be treat non-surgically with diet and exercise. However, breast tissue excess needs to be surgically removed.

Is Laser Surgery the Most Effective Form of Male Breast Reduction?
John T. Nguyen, MD, FACS, FICS
Double Board Certified Plastic Surgeon
Laser surgery not for gynecomastia
Male breast reduction - surgery the only answer
Unfortunately, surgery is the only treatment for male breast enlargement or gynecomastia. Most of the time this can be done with liposuction and my patients go back to the gym in 5 days. I would advise you to consult with a board certified plastic surgeon so you can review your options and hopefully avoid wasting money on the advertised nonsurgical techniques that won't work in my opinion. As an aside, laser is not a magic wand but a tool. it is not better than standard liposuction but does have increased risks.
Non Exist.
I am ask this question frequently. If you have true gynecomastia it will not resolve after its development unless you are in the teenage years. Diet and exercise will reduced the fat tissue but the breast gland will not resolve.
