David Price, who earned a promotion to Montgomery earlier in the week, picked up his first win at the Double-A level on Thursday night, allowing two earned runs on four hits in 6.0 solid innings. Although Price struggled with his command throughout the night, walking four, he struck out seven in the Biscuits' 8-2 victory over Mobile.
Before getting called up, the 22-year-old left-hander compiled a 4-0 record in the Florida State League, posting a 1.82 ERA, .220 opponents' batting average and a 37-to-7 strikeout-to-walk ratio in six starts for the Vero Beach Devil Rays.
Perhaps the highlight of the season for Price, though, came on May 28, when he drew rave reviews from three-time Cy Young Award winner Pedro Martinez.
Martinez, who squared off against the southpaw while on a rehab stint with the St. Lucie Mets, was impressed with Price's overpowering stuff and stellar command.
"He's amazing, that kid." He's amazing," the veteran right-hander told reporters after Price struck out nine in six shutout innings to earn the win that night.
The first overall selection in the 2007 draft out ofVanderbilt, Price is emerging as one of the premier starting pitching prospects in baseball. In addition, his performance and the recent promotion to Double-A has prompted many to wonder if he will become this year's version of Joba Chamberlain—a savior out of the bullpen for the New York Yankees last season, jumping three levels before posting a 0.38 ERA and .075 WHIP in 24.0 innings down the stretch—to help the Tampa Bay Rays push towards the postseason.
Overall, Price is a combined 5-0 with a 1.99 ERA with 44 strikeouts in seven starts. Through 40.2 innings, he has held opponents to a .215 average while striking out 44.

I need to vent, I know we all go through things like this but a friend of mine is pregnant with her 3rd kid, she is "due" Oct. 7. It wasn't a planned pregnancy but she is in a place where she can and will care for her baby. Almost the entire pregnancy she complained and at the end it was WAY worse. Fast forward to last week. She convinced her doctors to put her on the scheduled induction list on 9/29 so that she could have her baby ideally before 10/1.So her kid wouldn't have to wait to start school. (Great reason right) Well too many mothers were having babies spontaneously so they took her of the schedule. I was trying to help her see that the baby needed to come on her own. Well of course they put her back onto the schedule for Monday (they don't do inductions on weekends) and here we are today they started with the foley catherter and it fell out when she was 4cm so now she's sitting in the hospital on pitocin w/ an epidural and for the last 4 hrs has not progressed at all. They broke her water when they started the pitocin and now of course she's on the clock. If she doesn't have the baby we all know they will call it failure to progress and give her a c-section. It makes me so sad/mad that she even went through with this since her 10/1 plan didn't work and now that poor baby who isn't ready to enter the world is being FORCED OUT. Oh and b/c she didn't "plan" this baby she really didn't know her due date and is relying on u/s for dates but they have been known to be wrong. Well I just needed to vent and I figured you ladies might be the only ones who would understand. If you read this far your a trooper. Thanks for reading!

WOW. Your "friend" sounds like a keeper. I don't even have words for this situation. People are so selfish.
I agree--I would have a hard time remaining friends with someone I didn't respect, and I would have a hard time respecting someone who put her own comfort ahead of the health of her child.

It is hard to see friends making unwise decisions, isn't it? I hope she doesn't get a section. That would be a tough recovery when you already have 2 kids @ home.
I know it's frustrating to see people make choices different than what you would, but at the end of the day it's her life, and her choice. This is likely the first in a long list of many things she will do that aren't necessarily the best for her kids. Try not to let it frustrate you and do what you can to help her going forward to raise the baby to be a happy, positively contributing member of society.

World's Stage Theatre stages disturbing 'Phaedra's Love'
In the first scene of "Phaedra's Love" — the Sarah Kane play being staged by The World's Stage Theatre Company, under Leda Hoffmann's direction — a slovenly man is eating junk food while watching TV in the dark. Excited by on-screen violence, he unzips his pants and masturbates into a sock.
And that's just for starters. In the ensuing hour, we'll witness two sex acts, a brutal rape, a strangulation and disembowelment, two murders, an immolation of a woman who killed herself offstage and an on-stage suicide. »Read Full Article

Weather affects businesses' bottom line

But climate scientists say the record warm weather of the past year, punctuated by extreme events such as superstorm Sandy in the Northeast, provides a glimpse of things to come and should push the issue higher on the list of national priorities. »Read Full Article(648)

Michael Stewart:
My name is Michael Stewart and I am running to be a delegate to the International Convention to do the work the members of our local. The international convention is an opportunity for member leaders to determine the direction our union takes over the course of the next two years. I have, in partnership with other member leaders, been very active in submitting resolutions to the convention as well as supporting resolutions submitted by others that address issues facing workers and working families.
I have been a member leader serving in various capacities in Local 328 and Council 75. I was instrumental in initiating the intervention to improve the working conditions of our EVS workers and address the inappropriate and abusive behavior of EVS managers and supervisors. I have been our local's political action committee chair and am currently the Chief Steward. I am Special Sector Vice President for our council and will bring this experience and work ethic in representing Local 328 at the International Convention and I ask for your vote. Thank you.
In Solidarity

Hi, My name is Roxana Logsdon and I would like to be one of our union delegates to the National Convention.. I have been with OHSU for almost 8 years as well as an AFSCME member, I have just stated to learn about the great opportunities that our union offers and am becoming a more active member.

I have been both a manager and associate in previous positions and believe this gives me a unique view and insight to both sides. Please vote for me, Roxana Logsdon

Two years ago I was elected to attend the AFSCME International Convention, in Chicago. The experience opened my eyes to the power of a strong union. I would like the opportunity to attend this year's convention in Las Vegas. By participating in the events at the convention, I will get the chance to learn from other union members from a wide variety of backgrounds and cultures. I will bring back the knowledge I'll gained to our union at OHSU. My desire is for AFSMCE Local 328 to be a dynamic and active force for empowerment and change in the workplace. In addition, I would like to serve on the next bargaining team, to help increase our membership by educating our coworkers about the union difference, so we can be AFSCME-strong for our next contract negotiations. Attending the convention will enhance my skills to help me accomplish these goals. Please vote for Kelli Byrd. Thank you.

To help them understand the value of the union contract and to empower them with knowledge and how best to utilize the contract on their issues they are currently dealing with.
I am also part of the AFSCME strong team, which would allow me to connect more with the members and to make this union, stronger and cohesive. I think it would be beneficial for me to go to this convention so I can be more knowledgeable on current procedures and information on this Delegation.
Please vote for me go to AFSCME 328 website. Log on to member's assistant and vote for me please!

But the approach is far different. The days of relying mainly on talent are gone. The Lakers are a blue-collar team, and they are fine with that because of the positive results.
Winning -- namely a seven-game winning streak that has offset a disappointing 7-5-2 start to the season -- has made believers out of them.
"In the locker room, (we have) a mindset that we're winning and it's working, so let's keep working hard," senior forward Christie Cicero said. "If we don't work hard ... we're going to go down the drain."
Cicero has seen stars move on during her career -- NCAA all-time scoring leader Meghan Agosta,200-point club members Jesse Scanzano and Bailey Bram, 2010 national player of the year Vicki Bendus and others.
"We lost a lot of power," Cicero said. The transition from highly skilled to hardworking quietly unfolded along the way.
Veteran leaders taught the young players what it took to win each year. Everyone slowly but surely accepted the team's new approach to the game. Now the Lakers are flourishing with it.
"You don't always need to rely on just one person," junior defenseman Molly Byrne said. "Any night anyone can show up and do the work."
Head coach Michael Sisti draws similarities between this team and the 15-year-old program's early seasons.
"Our first teams played with great pride, great grit. We earned people's respect by ... working hard for 60 minutes and finding ways to win games," Sisti said. "The last few years, we've had to win different ways."
Defense has led the way, much like it did in those early years. The Lakers have allowed three goals or fewer in 19-of-21 games, including in all seven games during the win streak.
"It's nothing we're not accustomed to from the early years," Sisti said, "where we had to win a lot of games 1-0, 2-1 with great defense (and) great goaltending."
The Lakers (14-5-2) beat four teams -- Lindenwood, Penn State, Rochester Institute of Technology and St. Lawrence -- with a combined 20-56-7 record during the streak.
Now comes a major test -- a two-game series with third-ranked Cornell tonight and Saturday at Mercyhurst Ice Center. Sisti compared the Big Red (12-1-1) to the Lakers' star-studded teams of the past. Cornell produced four players that will represent Canada at next month's Winter Olympics in Sochi, Russia -- alumni Laura Fortino, Rebecca Johnston and Lauriane Rougeau as well as Brianne Jenner, who took the year off after ranking among the NCAA Division I leaders with 35 goals and 70 points as a junior.
But Sisti said the Lakers are ready for their latest challenge.
"They've been able to handle adversity, be resilient and handle pressure," he said. "They're playing stress-free hockey. They've got a lot of confidence."

Left4Quake aims to bring Left 4 Dead to the Playstation Portable.
at first i wassnt really a fan of this but i have to say, the game runs a lot more smoother than nzp. i really enjoy playing l4q and am really looking foward to the official release.
10/10 for you
demasiado bueno para ser verdad :)
Very stable, just like you guys said, has very good graphics, and physics, deserves the 10 :D
Very good models, nice weapon, physic, nice homebrew! :D
Whoa, this looks like its gonna be like the real Left 4 dead, Keep the good work!!! :D
this is just epic.
this isnt only for people who want it on the go.
but also for the people who have a pc that can barely take next gen games like L4D.
so this is just one of the best free indie projects ever!!!
Absolutely Amazing mod for a engine this limited. Impressive Job!
ADD MORE STUFF =10 And demo was great
Played the Demo on a PSP2000 more than 20 times and it its solid...
No crashing, no slowdowns like NZP and very good performance at all.
I also tested the game with 2 own custommaps and i didnt notice any problems or crashes... This looks very promising...
- Runs solid, no crashing, no slowdowns
- Nice models and soundeffects
- Walking speed is a little bit too slow
- Engine seems not to support HLBSP maps (awww...)

This apartment was perfect for a few days in Krakow. It is well-connected to the main square, the train station, etc. by tram, and is within walking distance of just about anywhere you would want to go in Krakow (so long as you are okay walking 30 minutes or so). The apartment itself was bright and comfortable, with all the amenities you could need. I appreciated the free wifi, as well as the multiple electric heaters provided to chase out the September chill. I would definitely stay here again!
Vi var 4 godt voksne kvinner som var på langhelg i Krakow for første gang. Vi ønsket et leilighet med 4 soverom, og dette fant vi gjennom Wimdu.no. Vi valgte Vanilla Apartment 3 med de fasilitetene vi ønsket. Wimdu sidene var informative og inneholdt tydelige bilder, og vi ble positivt overasket da vi kom frem og så at alle bilder stemte med virkeligheten. Leiligheten var fantastisk, og utrolig ren. De lå sentralt plassert og gjorde vår opphold minneverdig. Utleier tilbudte også transfer fra flyplassen t/r som gjorde turen bekvem, når man er på et sted første gang. Det eneste vi savnet, som nok er en bagatell, var flere knagger på bad, soverom, samt helfigurspeil.
En fin leilighet med god beliggenhet i forhold til nærliggende severdigheter, gangavstander. Kvartaler rundt (bak) er det mange lokale gode puber og restauranter med meget billige priser.
Bygget er fra 1893 og bærer preg av historie. Bygget ligger ved en trafikkert hovedgate og der er nok en god del trafikkstøy. Butikk like rundt hjørne. venstre side av gaten.
Oppholdet ble helt supert. Leilighet svarte til forventingene. Det var pent og rent.
Vi ble godt mottatt - og alt var bare bra
Beautiful appartment nearbij the old city. We like the sepperat bathrooms ,in the morning we have enjoyed our breakfest into the sun on the balkony.
IT was a walk of 10 minuten to the jewesh area where we have a great time in the evenings. Many restaurants and cafés.You get no regrets for booking the appartment.We are telling it further to all our friends. Krakau is beautifull.
6 adults stayed in this lovely apartment, it was very clean and had everything that we needed.
The beds were very comfortable, & there are actually 2 bathroom not 1 as stated. 9 people would be a bit of a squeeze but 7 would be perfect.
An ideal location to both the Jewish quarters & the main square, plenty of restaurants nearby.
A bit noisy due to being on a main road, but if the windows are closed it is not a problem
Very cheap to eat in the area so no need to take loads of money.
I would highly recommend staying here, & wouldn't hesitate to go back.
We were really satisfied with the quality and the clearness of the apartment,which was absolutely not far from the centre of the city. In the apartment were lots of maps,information so it was good to help us navigate in the city.We can absolutely recommend for everybody.
Fam.Ács from Hungary
The host cancelled the booking, this review is automated.
This was an ok place in Krakow, it is within easy reach of the tram lines and to city center in 20 minutes from the door. For a couple this was good accomodation.
Downside, although we arrived an hour early we were surprised to find that the appartment needed to be cleaned and made ready. Parking mon to fri has to be paid for.
We stayed here for 3 days with our family of nine persons. The apartment was great and the location was perfect! We will recommend this apartment to our friends.

Distributed Hash Tables, Part I
Listing 3. update.py
def update(node): for x in range(k): oldEntry=node.finger[x] node.finger[x]=findNode(oldEntry, (node.id+(2**x)) % (2**k))

So far we have more or less defined the original version of the Chord DHT design as it was described by the MIT team that invented it. This is only the tip of the iceberg in the world of DHTs, though. Many modifications can be made to establish different properties from the ones described in the original Chord paper, without losing the logarithmic performance and guaranteed lookups that Chord provides.
One property that might be useful for a DHT is the ability to update the finger table passively, requiring periodic lookups to be done in order to refresh the table. With MIT Chord, you must do a lookup, hitting O(log n) nodes for all k items in the finger table, which can result in a considerable amount of traffic. It would be advantageous if a node could add other nodes to its finger table when they contacted it for lookups. As a conversation already has been established in order to do the lookup, there is little added overhead in checking to see if the node doing the lookup is a good candidate for the local finger table. Unfortunately, finger table links in Chord are unidirectional because the distance metric is not symmetrical. A node generally is not going to be in the finger tables of the nodes in its finger table.
A solution to this problem is to replace Chord's modular addition distance metric with one based on XOR. The distance between two nodes, A and B, is defined as the XOR of the node IDs interpreted as the binary representation of an unsigned integer (Listing 5). XOR makes a delightful distance metric because it is symmetric. Because distance(A, B) == distance(B, A), for any two nodes, if A is in B's finger table then B is in A's finger table. This means nodes can update their finger tables by recording the addresses of nodes that query them, reducing significantly the amount of node update traffic. It also simplifies coding a DHT application, because you don't need to keep a separate thread to call the update method periodically. Instead, you simply update whenever the lookup method is called.
Listing 5. xor-distance.py
def distance(a, b): return a^b # In Python, this means a XOR b, # not a to the power of b.
An issue with the design presented so far is the paths to a given node are fragile. If any node in the path refuses to cooperate, the lookup is stuck. Between any two nodes there is exactly one path, so routing around broken nodes is impossible. The Kademlia DHT solves this by widening the finger table to contain a bucket of j references for each finger table slot instead of only one, where j is defined globally for the whole network. Now j different choices are available for each hop, so there are somewhere around j*log(n) possible paths. There are less than that, though, paths converge as they get closer to the target. But, the number of possible paths probably is greater than 1, so this is an improvement.
Kademlia goes further and orders the nodes in the bucket in terms of recorded uptime. Older nodes are given preference for queries, and new references are added only if there are not enough old nodes. Besides the increased reliability of queries, this approach offers the added benefit that an attack on the network in which new nodes are created rapidly in order to push out good nodes will fail—it won't even be noticeable.
It's important to understand that these different properties are not tied to a particular DHT implementation. We gradually have built up a DHT design from scratch, developed it into something that resembles Chord, then modified it to be more like Kademlia. The different approaches can be more or less mixed and matched. Your finger table buckets can have 1 slot or j slots, depending on whether you use modular addition or XOR for your distance metric. You can always follow the closest node, or you can rank them according to uptime or according to some other criteria. You can draw from several other DHT designs, such as Pastry, OceanStore and Coral. You also can use your own ideas to devise the perfect design for your needs. Myself, I have concocted several modifications to a base Chord design to add properties such as anonymity, Byzantine fault-tolerant lookups, geographic routing and the efficient broadcasting of messages to enter the network. It's fun to do and easier than you think.
Now that you know how to create your own DHT implementations, you're probably wondering what kind of crazy things you can do with this code. Although there probably are many applications for DHTs that I haven't thought of yet, I know people already are working on such projects as file sharing, creating a shared hard drive for backing up data, replacing DNS with a peer-to-peer name resolution system, scalable chat and serverless gaming.
For this article, I've tied the code together into a fun little example application that might be of interest to readers who caught my interview on the Linux Journal Web site about peer-to-peer Superworms (see Resources). The application is a distributed port scanner that stores results in the simulated DHT (Listing 6). Given a fully functional DHT implementation, this script would have some handy properties. First, it allows multiple machines to contribute results to a massive scanning of the Internet. This way, all of the scanning activity can't be linked with a single machine. Additionally, it avoids redundant scanning. If the host already has been scanned, the results are fetched from the DHT, avoiding multiple scans. No central server is required to hold all of the results or to coordinate the activities of the participants. This application may seem somewhat insidious, but the point is it was trivial to write given the DHT library. The same approach can be used in other sorts of distributed projects.
Wrong Algorithm
the last else in distance should return (2**k)-(b-a), otherwise id would exceed the longest possible distance, i.e. the ring size.
Btw, nice article ;)
Re: Wrong Algorithm
After the last else in the distance function, b < a, so (b-a) is negative. The sum of (2**k) and (b-a) will still be less than (2**k).
Wrong Algorithm
The findNode should return

With all the industry talk about the benefits of Linux on Power and all the performance advantages offered by its open architecture, you may be considering a move in that direction. If you are thinking about analytics, big data and cloud computing, you would be right to evaluate Power. The idea of using commodity x86 hardware and replacing it every three years is an outdated cost model. It doesn't consider the total cost of ownership, and it doesn't consider the advantage of real processing power, high-availability and multithreading like a demon.
This ebook takes a look at some of the practical applications of the Linux on Power platform and ways you might bring all the performance power of this open architecture to bear for your organization. There are no smoke and mirrors here—just hard, cold, empirical evidence provided by independent sources. I also consider some innovative ways Linux on Power will be used in the future.Get the Guide

NorthCoastJetsFan replied to Maxman's topic in New York Jets Message BoardMy condolences, Brenda. Having also lost my mom to the dreaded Big C in the last year, I wish you the best in dealing with the loss.
NorthCoastJetsFan replied to joewilly12's topic in New York Jets Message BoardIf this is true, then Idzik deserves to be fired immediately. I personally don't think the guy can tell a football player from a sausage, but if was intentional.... I bet there are a lot of ticket holders that would want some kind of refund.
NorthCoastJetsFan replied to stoicsentry's topic in New York Jets Message BoardMcDougle was injured a lot in college, and it looks like he will continue the trend here. I am not impressed with Amaro at all. He has dropped more than he has caught and doesn't block very well. The 18th pick in the draft has to be more than an 'ok' player. Right now Pryor looks more like Kyle Wilson than a solid starter. And in today's NFL, guys who hit hard have two things happen to them: they get penalized and they get concussed. What's long-term? 3 years? 5 years? If they are not very good for 5 years, but continue to play because they have no one better, is that good?
NorthCoastJetsFan replied to Freemanm's topic in New York Jets Message BoardWhat a crock. I'd be willing to bet that there are no people at Korn Ferry that have any front office experience in a sports franchise. They recommended the guy you would expect from Korn Ferry.... a bean counter who can't tell a football player from a sausage. 50+ years of following this team and I've never felt this low, even in the Kotite years. There are maybe 6 players and a couple of secretaries who can stay. Everyone else needs to be gone. Including the owner.
NorthCoastJetsFan replied to unbanmadmike1's topic in New York Jets Message BoardPeyton threw the ball to Decker because he was OPEN. Brady throws to people who have achieved separation. Yes, they make the occasional tight throw, but they generally throw to open receivers. Has Andrew Luck suddenly turned to crap, or has Reggie Wayne being out changed their offense? You can blame the scheme, sure, but these guys they have out there now either can't, or don't know how to get open. Quite a few times during the last game, CBS showed overhead shots of the patterns being run, and every Jet receiver had a Dolphin on him like a second skin. No QB could complete passes in that situation. I don't know if Geno can be a good QB and neither does anyone else here. Until there are some playmakers on this team, no one will be successful.
NorthCoastJetsFan replied to unbanmadmike1's topic in New York Jets Message BoardWilson was skipped over by the entire NFL for over 4 rounds. It wasn't just Kiper. Franchise QBs are very rarely evident coming out of college. For every Peyton, there are many more Ryan Leafs or Jamarcus Russels. Not to defend Geno, he has been terrible, but Marino, Elway, or even Manning couldn't do anything with these receivers. There is never any separation, and every one of them can be taken out of the game by the lowliest cornerback. Until we get some playmakers, no QB will be successful here.
NorthCoastJetsFan replied to SoFlaJets's topic in New York Jets Message BoardIt already was ugly
NorthCoastJetsFan replied to SoFlaJets's topic in New York Jets Message BoardThis team is devoid of talent. I don't know if I have 5 more years of rebuilding in me. I think 50 years of BS might be enough.
NorthCoastJetsFan replied to Freemanm's topic in New York Jets Message BoardHe would have been toasted for 2 other TDs today if Tannehill could throw an accurate deep ball. This team is devoid of talent except for the d-line. No pass rush, no coverage No offense. 5 more years of rebuilding.
NorthCoastJetsFan replied to Section 333's topic in New York Jets Message BoardImagine 50+ years of this. Believe me, except for one magical year, it's been virtually the same thing. This team is a damn laughingstock, and if you don't believe it, try living away from NYC for a few years. I've taken abuse for the last 30 years from fans in whatever city I was living in., but I still kept wearing my Jets stuff. No more. I can't bring myself to root against them or for anyone else, but not one more penny is being spent until they get a real owner and a real gm and show me they are really interested in winning instead of just pocketing our money.
NorthCoastJetsFan replied to joewilly12's topic in New York Jets Message BoardGoing to be a very long year. Just went from a 4 win to a 2 win estimate.
NorthCoastJetsFan replied to Larz's topic in New York Jets Message BoardI think 4 wins will be pushing it No bar action for me this year
NorthCoastJetsFan replied to Maxman's topic in New York Jets Message BoardI am back after a long absence. I must disagree Max. When he has a chance to lock up the starter's job (as much as that makes me want to throw up) and he performs like that, he's a loser. I fear another long year for us Jet fans
NorthCoastJetsFan replied to SouthernJet's topic in New York Jets Message BoardI learned how to make a noose but resisted the temptation to use it
NorthCoastJetsFan replied to Maxman's topic in New York Jets Message BoardIt's been a 3 year turnaround for the last 40 years. By the time we fill the holes we have, the decent players we have now will be gone. Not to mention the fact that there is no franchise QB on the horizon. The Dolphins did that with the old last place schedule, which isn't in place anymore. When you live in an area where you are outnumbered 1000-1, you have to take it. It is all around you. And, honestly, the Bills have been bad, but they are not the comic opera that we always seem to be.

So, the fiscal cliff. Barring a semi-miraculous breakthrough, it looks like it will be around until at least January. In other words, a deal is not close. That's left both sides scrambling for a backup plan, which could leave all of us scrambling for more cash in the new year. Indeed, as Greg Ip of The Economist points out, the fallback option Democrats are talking about now, a bill the Senate passed last summer, wouldn't undo nearly enough of the austerity set to kick in.

What's Middle-Aged and Has Fifty Big, Floppy Ears? A Reunion of 25 Mouseketeers
Doreen Tracey, 37, has done a topless photo layout for Gallery magazine. Margene Lackey, 38, became a California prison guard. And even Annette Funicello, 37, has grown out of the beach blanket B-pics to marry agent Jack Gilardi, raise three kids, serve as the pitchlady for Skippy chunky-style peanut butter and guest on Love Boat. For those who made it to the reunion, the chance to sing their old mantra, "M-I-C, K-E-Y, M-O-U-S-E," brought back some warm childhood memories nonetheless. "I never recognized this before," said Lonnie Burr, 37, "but we are a family. It feels good to be part of this continuity."
A surprising number of Mouseketeers never left showbiz. Burr sped through school after his Club years to earn a B.A. at 18 at Cal State North-ridge. He now writes for radio and TV, and his 1979 book Two for the Show: Great Comedy Teams is being spun off into a pay TV series. Sharon Baird, 37, was last heard as Frodo in Ralph Bakshi's Lord of the Rings animation film (she had appeared previously as various creatures in the Sid and Marty Krofft children's TV shows). Cubby O'Brien, now 34, drums for the Carpenters; Bobby Burgess, 37, dances on The Lawrence Welk Show. Not everybody found the lure of the greasepaint irresistible, of course. Karen Pendleton, 33, is a Fresno, Calif, housewife with one child. "I wouldn't trade places with anyone," she says. "I had never prepared to be an entertainer. It wasn't like playing a part. I just played me."
Even the Screen Actors Guild strike—which disrupted the taping and could jeopardize the special—didn't dampen the nostalgia. Critics point out that the original Mickey Mouse Club presented a thoroughly white, middle-class view of life, with no black, Hispanic or Oriental faces under those cute ears. But the Mouseketeers still speak of their show with warmth—and of its creator with reverence. "Just being able to be around a man like Walt Disney so impressed me," said Darlene Gillespie, 39. "He was the greatest." Added Lonnie: "He turned the Club into a phenomenon." The affection spilled over to the show itself. "Where else," marveled Tommy Cole, "could I get recognized at 38 for something I did 25 years ago?"

Chronic itching, or pruritis, appears to involve more than the usual itch signals. Instead, it seems that chronic itching results when pain signals become involved, intensifying the itch sensation. Exactly how pain signaling pathways join in transmitting itch signals was not at all clear—until it caught the attention of scientists led by Zhou-Feng Chen, Ph.D., the director of Center for the Study of Itch at Washington University.
These scientists have implicated a protein called BRAF, which had already been known to play a role in the body's pain response. After experimenting with mice in which BRAF was always active, the scientists found that BRAF also continually sent signals inside itch neurons.
The mice, which had been expected to be prone to feeling pain rather than itching, scratched spontaneously. To the scientists' surprise, they had developed a mouse model of chronic itch.
"In normal itching, there's a fixed pathway that transmits the itch signal," said Dr. Chen. "But with chronic itching, many neurons can be turned into itch neurons, including those that typically transmit pain signals. That helps explain why chronic itching can be so excruciating."
The scientists published their results online October 15 in the Journal of Clinical Investigation ("Chronic itch development in sensory neurons requires BRAF signaling pathways"). In their paper, the scientists said, "We identify the BRAF pathway as an upstream regulator of expression of a cohort of itch mediators in mouse sensory neurons. Our data further demonstrate that GRP/GRPR signaling plays an important role in the initiation and maintenance of long-lasting itch in three distinct genetic and/or clinically relevant chronic itch models."
GRP, or gastrin-releasing peptide, is a substance that carries itch signals to a gene called GRPR, or gastrin-releasing peptide receptor, in the spinal cord. In the new study, GRP and GRPR activity was doubled in the genetically altered mice, which could account for some of the increase in the intensity of itching.
In addition, other genes normally activated by pain were also turned on in the itch pathway, further intensifying the itch sensation. Or, as the scientists stated, "A phenotypic switch from nociceptors to pruriceptors underlies the transition from acute itch signaling to pathological itch state."
The findings suggest that targeting proteins in the BRAF pathway may open new avenues for treating chronic itch, a condition in which few therapies are effective. One possibility includes using drugs that are prescribed to treat pain.
"In people, chronic itching can last for weeks, months, or even years," Dr. Chen said. "These mice are helping us to understand the pathways that can be involved in transmitting itch signals and the many contributors to chronic itching. There are many pathways leading from BRAF, and all of these could be potential targets for anti-itch therapies."

Look on amazon for used games. I just picked up mario strikers for $25 and Call of duty world at war for $30 in like new condition.
here are the games i see as having the best replay value that i own:
call of duty - the multiplayer is awesome
mario strikers - fun game with friends
smash bros - fun with friends
mario kart - the online is awesome
as you mentioned, if you want more one player, not online games, go with mario and zelda. you wont beat those in one sitting/weekend and if you do you are spending way toooooo much time in front of the TV
also, save up for the conduit as others have pointed out. its going to be the best FPS for the wii hands down. thus far from what i have seen it looks like a cross between halo and perfect dark (n64)

Magazine's foul shot
Dennis Rodman is at the top of a list no one wants to be on. He's been named GQ's No. 1 least influential celebrity of 2013.
The 52-year-old former basketball player who has visited Kim Jong Un in North Korea was selected as the top pick in the magazine's third annual list of the least influential celebrities, which also includes twerking pop star Miley Cyrus, President Obama, and celebrity chef Paula Deen.
GQ called Rodman a "Q-list celebrity willing to commit borderline treason just to hang out with a dictator who himself aspires to be a Q-list celebrity."
Rodman said last week he's preparing to return to North Korea late next month for an exhibition basketball tour.
Satisfied by 'Hunger Games'
Moviegoers satiated their appetite for the "Hunger Games" franchise by making the sequel "Catching Fire" one of the year's biggest hits.
"The Hunger Games: Catching Fire" opened with $161.1 million at the domestic weekend box office, according to studio estimates Sunday.
It became the biggest November debut ever, as well as Lionsgate's most lucrative opening.
The only other new wide release, Disney's Vince Vaughn comedy "Delivery Man," sputtered to an $8.2 million opening.
After two weeks atop the box office, "Thor: The Dark World," released by Disney, slid to second with $14.1 million.
These are the estimated ticket sales for Friday through Sunday at U.S. and Canadian theaters, according to Rentrak. Where available, latest international numbers for Friday through Sunday are also included.
1. "The Hunger Games: Catching Fire," $161.1 million ($146.6 million international).
2. "Thor: The Dark World," $14.1 million ($24.8 million).
3. "The Best Man Holiday," $12.5 million.
4. "Delivery Man," $8.2 million ($1.2 million).
5. "Free Birds," $5.3 million ($575,000).
6. "Last Vegas," $4.4 million ($2.4 million).
7. "Bad Grandpa," $3.5 million ($2.4 million).
8. "Gravity," $3.3 million ($46.6 million).
9. "12 Years a Slave," $2.8 million.
10. "Dallas Buyers Club," $2.8 million.
At peace with her role
Ellen DeGeneres has high aspirations for her second time around hosting the Oscars. "It reached the world," the talk show host said of her well-received 2007 Oscarcast. "And I'm trying to get world peace. So, that's my goal. My hope is by hosting the Academy Awards, right afterward, we have world peace."
DeGeneres may have been exaggerating, but there's no overstating her enthusiasm for the March 2 gig.
"I know a lot of those people," she said of the Oscar audience. "They're on my show a lot. I love the whole business. … I get to play with all those people in the audience and make people happy, and, hopefully, relax them."
DeGeneres made her comments Friday while attending a Toys for Tots charity event in Los Angeles.

The reason that Man of Steel is already a mainstream success is the same
reason that some geeks hate the film-- it's not a super hero flick. Geeks just
want a super hero film, but Man of Steel is a true piece of science fiction
cinema. Man of Steel may be the first movie based on a super hero that is a
real movie.
The movie isn't perfect-- I felt that the whole prologue needed to be cut,
but beyond the superfluous beginning, it is a real movie; with real acting,
looking at how the world would react if Superman was real. It is a film about
the implications of finding out there is an alien living on Earth, and on top of
being alien; he is a god-man that could overthrow every government on the planet
if he desired to. The trailer showing Zod's message to Earth stating "you are
not alone," cut straight to the marrow of what people usually ignore about
Superman-- he confirms the existence of alien life.
Man of Steel's narrative explored the concept of aliens living among us on
Earth, but the subtext explored Superman as a metaphor for Christ. And if
Superman is Christ; then Zod is the anti-Christ. Zod represents the aspirations
of modern transhumanism and eugenics-- he is a product of a global government
and a society in which people are not born but genetically created and assigned
roles, and he desires to terraform a planet that has life (Earth). Zod is a
symbol for the tyrrany that is cooking in our modern society.
All of this metaphor and allegory just further upsets the dumb-geeks. There
are geeks out there, and some of them run websites, who are just deaf to
metaphor and allegory and other literary devices. They watch a film like
Oblivion or Prometheus and all of the allusions and parallels fly right by them
and all they can do is complain that Prometheus' science is anti-Darwin. It's
called speculative fiction-- or fiction for short. Prometheus closely follows
Summerian mythology about the Annunaki (whose ship is seen in the prologue), the
Igigi, and the creation of man. Prometheus is art. Its story is a story about
God being an alien.
The dumb-geeks are intelligent and knowledgeable about technology and other
nerd related subjects, but poetry evades them. Or there is the other
possiblity-- that they are engaging in crimestop when defecating upon a film
like Oblivion whose antagonist is a vehicle for world government and the
illuminati-- things that these geeks support. So maybe when Superman destroys a
surveillance drone in Man of Steel; it's just grinding dumb-geeks' gears,
because they smell a dirty libertarian/patriot message against invasive
technology and big government.

- Some key appliance findings in the 2008 study include:
- Burgeoning growth in appliances is credited to huge increases in home hair styling during the recession, mainly due to the use of Ionic dryers and flatirons.
- New product innovations, higher premium prices and general upgrading to new appliances contribute.
- Irons grew at 25.5 percent, blow dryers at 10.2 percent and clippers and trimmers also showed growth.

Flight risk: Brumbies seek exemption to use Canberra gateway to New Zealand
The ACT Brumbies are seeking an exemption from the SANZAAR travel protocols to pave the way for them to take advantage of flying directly from Canberra to New Zealand.
Chris Dutton is a sports reporter at The Canberra Times.
The ACT Brumbies are seeking an exemption from the SANZAAR travel protocols to pave the way for them to take advantage of flying directly from Canberra to New Zealand.
"We will win the grand final". That was Ricky Stuart's declaration at the Canberra Raiders' Mal Meninga Medal night on Monday and it's the feeling around Canberra.
The Brumbies will play against Sonny Bill Williams and George Smith in Canberra next year, but not the Waratahs.
ACT Brumbies hooker Robbie Abel admits he has a desire to avoid playing rugby union matches on Sundays to align with his Mormon faith, but is happy to juggle sport and religion for the Canberra Vikings.
A Canberra kid walked off a rugby union field last weekend after being belted by players double his size, turned to his mum and said: "This was supposed to be fun, but it's not."
Raiders star Jordan Rapana moved to Canberra to work with one of the city's greatest sportsmen, but it wasn't Ricky Stuart.
The expanded Super Rugby competition opened the door for Robbie Abel to chase his professional dream and the ACT Brumbies hooker believes axing one Australian team could force unearthed stars to move abroad.
The Raiders are fighting for their NRL season against the Penrith Panthers on Saturday night, so are Josh Hodgson and Blake Austin worth the injury risk?

It's a process to get the balloons in the air. It starts with a lot of prep work on the ground. Pilots and their crew unpack and unravel the balloon. Not and easy task since some balloons can weigh 850 pounds or more.
Once the balloon is laid out, the hot air inflates and the basket is ready for passengers.
Veteran balloon pilot Sheldon Grauberger told CW's Jeff Maher that it's not all about beautiful sweeping views. He's had some interesting encounters.
"I actually have landed on top of lone mountain with the Remax balloon, and there were actually some hikers on the top there and I picked them up, had them sign a waiver, picked them up, gave them a ride from the top of a mountain to the bottom of a mountain when it was done, that was a lot of fun," he said.
In his career, Grauberger has logged more than 1800 hours and he's encountered people of all kinds.
"One person was tall, extremely tall, 7 feet, a retired professional basketball player, and his head was so close to the burner he was scared of the heat! I got him down to the ground very quickly," he said.
If you want to take a ride of a lifetime check out Vegas Balloon Rides online. Tickets start at $275, but if you book your appointment by phont, they will put you on what's called their 'bucket list'. It gets you $50 off.

Nicki Minaj has concerned fans by sending a cryptic message to her fan-site NickiDaily.com, just a day after deleting her Twitter account.
The Young Money Princess disappointed her 11 million Twitter followers on Sunday, when she announced she would be deleting her account following a spat with one of the founders of NickiDaily. More details..................
Possibly in a move to do damage control, Nicki has released a letter to the fansite, reassuring her loyal followers that she does appreciate their support.
"Dear Barbz, if ever should come a time where you don't hear my voice; remember this: I am absolutely, positively head over heels in love with you guys," Nicki wrote in a letter obtained by MediaTakeOut.
"You gave me strength for a lifetime. You're clearly one of God's most precious gifts to me. I am forever indebted to him for you. So...heres to round 2...really round 5 (including the mixtapes) but who's counting right?"
"You've not only stayed with me for the last 5 years, you've inspired me. You'll probably never know how much I want you guys to chase your dreams. Please. You're beautiful, intelligent, powerful and poised for greatness. Whatever you put your mind to, executed with tenacity and passion...can and WILL be yours. Your jokes, your smiles, your hugs, your kisses...your boobs...I will take with me for a lifetime."
"Even when I forget your names, I'll never forget how you made me feel. I'll never forget the genuine look of love & excitement in your eyes. I'll never forget the tears, the uncontrollable shaking, the freezing cold hands, the standing in lines for hours without eating or sleeping. I'll never forget it. *deep sigh*."
"Dear Barbz, let them talk. We did it. Roman Reloaded."
Nicki has exhibited some strange behaviour recently, becoming angry with a reporter during an interview and allegedly lying about her father threatening her mother's life.
Are you worried about Nicki?

"My daughter has been going here since her first birthday. She is 5 1/2 now and she LOVES going to the dentist!! She has had a couple minor fillings done and cleanings every 6 months. I am always pleased with our experience, as is she. Not a pediatric specialist, but still great with kids! Happy to recommend. (I just wish they accepted MY insurance!)"
Casie333's review of Woodlands Dental Specialty Group:
03 / 07 / 2012
Casie333 writes:
"AVOID at all costs! I have always enjoyed going to the dentist, until I came here. Now I am scared to death of dentists. The objective here is to get as much money out of you and your insurance plan as they can. They WILL destroy your healthy teeth to do it. In fact, any place associated with Allen Hamburg is to be avoided. All his associates are given the same objective: get your money. Personally, one of the dentists (it doesn't matter who you see, they are all on the same team)told me I needed to replace a filling. That lie has caused me YEARS of chronic tooth pain, hundreds of dollars (thousands from my insurance), and countless days of missed work spent in their waiting room, day after day, desperate for help and relief. I completely lost a perfectly good tooth, and damaged 3 others, thanks to this place. I have had multiple dentists since tell me I was a victim of greed. Also, this place wanted to charge me $550 for the same custom night guard that another dentist charged $200. That's quite a mark up on an uninsured item.
I can tolerate a dirty office, less than friendly staff, a long wait. But destroying my healthy teeth, causing undue chronic pain, stealing my money...these people are cruel.
I never ever write reviews, but if I can save one person the misery I endured, it will be worth it. Please avoid this practice at all costs."
DJM77380's review of Castle Dental on Grogans Mill Rd.:
11 / 02 / 2011
DJM77380 writes:
"Although the front office staff was really nice and professional I felt the dentist herself lacked professionalism and respect. After taking off work and my son out of school for dental work the dentist tried to reschedule our appointment because she was running behind, had a lunch appointment and wanted to be back for other afternoon appointments. Basically we were made to feel less important then her lunch appointment or other patients. She came out several times talking to her staff about time concerns and when she finally got to my son she decided to refer him to another specialist. I was never asked to come back so she could discuss this with me nor was I given the option to have any of the other work he needed done completed that day. I basically felt she was pushing us out the door so she could make her lunch appointment. A professional dentist would have consulted with me about their concerns and reason to refer and offered to still perform other work needed since we had taken time off our day to be there. A doctor/patient relationship requires trust and respect and we did not get the respect I felt we deserved so I have no trust in this dentist."

A monster – and Charles Earland's second album for Prestige, the follow-up to his groundbreaking Black Talk album! This set's as great as that classic set – a tight batch of groovers that features Earland's Hammond work right out front, grooving away in a soaring, exploratory style that blew away most other jazz organ players at the time. Here, Earland's got an amazing talent for really stretching out, yet never losing the groove – infusing tunes with incredible soulfulness, and making them dance out nicely, even at the farthest reaches of his solos. The band's great, too – with Maynard Parker on guitar, Jimmy Heath on tenor and soprano, and Virgil Jones on trumpet – and all tracks are great, with titles that include "Sing A Simple Song", "Lazy Bird", "Letha", "Buck Green", and a great cover of "Raindrops Keep Falling on My Head"!

We realize that there are many different interpretations of the standard grades used for pre-owned vinyl record albums & CD, so we thought we'd offer you the ones that we are working with, so you have an idea what we mean when we give the grade for a non-new item on our pages.
Below are stated conditions for a used vinyl records at Dusty Groove. Grading for the cover should be assumed to be near (within a "+" or "-") the grading for the vinyl. If there is significant divergence from the condition of the vinyl, or specific flaws, these will be noted in the comments section of the item. However, please be aware that since the emphasis of this site is towards the music listener, our main concern is with the vinyl of any used item we sell. Additionally, please note that all of our records are graded visually; considering the volume of used vinyl we handle, it is impossible for us to listen to each record. If we spot any significant flaws, we make every attempt to listen through them and note how they play.
The following grading conditions apply to the vinyl component of an album or single:
If something is noteworthy, we try to note it in the comments — especially if it is an oddity that is the only wrong thing about the record. This might include, but isn't limited to, warped records, tracks that skip, cover damage or wear as noted above, or strictly cosmetic flaws.
