Rally for 3-2 victory over conference leaders
St. John's IceCaps
Heading into Monday's American Hockey League matchup agains Binghamton Senators, St. John's IceCaps head coach Keith McCambridge had a feeling it could turn out to be a special game for his team.
In many ways, the IceCaps' 3-2 victory over the Eastern Conference-leading Senators was just that.
Just how special it might be remains to be seen.
"Looking ahead as a coach, I was thinking this was the sort of game where a team can get some traction on the season," said McCambridge after his club's third win in four games.
"This could turn out to be one of those situations."
Kael Mouillierat and Jason Gregoire scored third-period goals for St. John's (18-20-3), which overcame what could have been a traumatic tally by Binghamton, a shorthanded marker by Derek Grant with 0.5 seconds remaining in the middle period.
"Those kinds of goals are the ones you look for to build momentum. They're the ones you want to score, certainly not to have scored against you," said McCambridge. "But the way the guys came out in the third ... I was really proud of this team."
The IceCaps outshot the Senators 21-6 in the final frame and 39-34 overall.
St. John's held a 1-0 lead after the first period on Maxime Macenauer's eight goal of the season, but fell behind when Mika Zibanejad and Grant scored in the second for Binghamton (21-10-4).
The game's first star was IceCaps' goalie Eddie Pasquale, who was coming off a shutout performance in a 1-0 victory over the Norfolk Admirals Saturday in southeastern Virginia.
Pasquale has perhaps been the biggest contributor to a midseason rally that has seen St. John's take points in four straight contests, including a 4-2 home-ice win over the Toronto Marlies and a 3-2 shootout loss to the Admirals Friday in a game that kicked off what will be a six-game road trip for the IceCaps
Fellow goaltender Mark Dekanich has rejoined the IceCaps on the road as he continues to work his way back from a hamstring injury, but with Pasquale as hot as the proverbial pistol, McCambridge sounded like he'd stay with his present starter even if Dekanich was ready to return to action.
"I will ride him as far as he can go," said McCambridge, whose team continues its road trip — and its quest to get back into the playoff race — Wednesday night in Wilkes-Barre, Pa., against the Penguins.

Chicago -- New Orleans Saints punter Thomas Morstead knew he was going to have a tough matchup against Chicago Bears star returner Devin Hester.
Considering former Saints punter Steve Weatherford was on the wrong side of a 64-yard Hester punt return for a TD in 2007, Morstead was wise not to take his chances.
Morstead effectively took Hester out of the game, limiting him to one punt return for 17 yards and two kickoff returns for 49 yards. Morstead had five touchbacks on kickoffs in the Saints' 26-18 win.
He also averaged 48.8 yards on four punts, including a 55-yarder that landed at the Chicago 2-yard line in the third quarter.
Morstead said his task was a bit more difficult with the swirling winds at Soldier Field, but he managed to come out unscathed vs. Hester.
"I'd hit one ball that would go 75 yards on a kickoff and I hit another one and it would be 60," Morstead said. "So you just do your best and adjust to the windiness.
"I thought special teams had a good day all the way around."
Jenkins hasn't blitzed often this season.
So he took his chance and ran with it as soon as defensive coordinator Rob Ryan dialed it up in the first quarter.
Jenkins was responsible for the game's only turnover when he came off a blitz from the defense's right side to sack quarterback Jay Cutler, forcing the ball out. End Cam Jordan recovered the fumble and returned it to Chicago's 6-yard line.
"We had some blitzes dialed up early and they were able to come home and it was very successful for us and put us in some good spots," Jenkins said. "They were smart enough to pick them up in the second half, and they were able to change some things they were doing offensively. So we kind of had to stray away from them."
The Saints harassed Cutler multiple times in the first half, sacking him three times for a loss of 18 yards. Linebacker David Hawthorne and safety Kenny Vaccaro were credited with the other two sacks, although Jenkins was applying the pressure with Vaccaro on the last takedown of Cutler in the second quarter.
"I think they were problematic," Bears coach Marc Trestman said of the blitzes. "We hadn't really seen them. I thought Rob Ryan did a good job.
"We had answers for them early, we just didn't get it communicated to the guys."
The Bears' receiver had only 367 receiving yards as a rookie last season.
He had more than half that total Sunday.
Jeffery, who had 211 receiving yards this season entering Sunday's game, caught 10 passes for 218 yards and one touchdown against the Saints.
He had his second straight 100-yard receiving game and was the recipient of several deep passes from Cutler, including a 31-yard reception on third down in the second quarter that set up a 3-yard touchdown two plays later.
Jeffery also had catches of 42 yards and 58 yards, the second of which put the Bears at the Saints' 2-yard line in the fourth quarter.
Jeffery's success was an anomaly for the Saints' defense this season, which has been stout in passing situations. The fifth-ranked unit didn't allow a 100-yard receiving game until Sunday.
The defense, which allowed an average of 184.3 passing yards per game through four games, gave up 358 yards to Cutler.
But Jeffery, who was the first Bears player to have a 200-yard receiving game since Johnny Morris in 1962, said the record didn't mean much in the loss.
"It's not about what I did, it's about what the team did," he said. "And we didn't get the win. So, that's what I focus on."
In the Saints' receiving corps, longevity or status hasn't meant much.
If there's a chance to make a play, Drew Brees hasn't been shy about throwing it to any receiver. Against the Bears, he targeted nine players and completed passes to six.
"It's every play, anyone can get the ball," said tight end Jimmy Graham. "There's been a couple of times I've been the fourth option. Drew's going to throw it to the open man or the best matchup."
Graham has continued to be a nightmare matchup for defenders, catching 10 passes for 135 yards.
Even running back Pierre Thomas was a go-to option for Brees on Sunday, catching several screen passes and hauling in two touchdowns.
Nick Toon had a 35-yard reception, fullback Jed Collins was targeted several times and Robert Meachem was targeted in the end zone but couldn't pull in the pass with a defender draped all over him.
0 - Saints turnovers; they are 25-1 with no turnovers since 2006
1 - Number of wins at Soldier Field in the Payton/Brees era
3 - Number of undefeated teams remaining, Saints, Broncos and Chiefs
4 - Consecutive 100-yard receiving games by Graham, which ties a streak he set in 2011
5 - Touchdowns by Thomas in three games at Soldier Field
66 - Saints rushing yards vs. Bears, their lowest total of the season
"It's a new year. Where you take last year and everything that could've gone wrong went wrong. This year, the ball is bouncing our way a little bit. We're one more year experienced. One year better. We've got some young players developed and continue to develop. ... It hasn't been perfect, but I think what we have done is found different ways to win each week. You could look at every one of our games. You can point to something different. You see constant improvement. That's really what we're looking for at this point." -- Payton

A Premonstratensian abbey in the western part of Bohemia, included in the Archdiocese of Prague ; it was founded in 1193 by the blessed martyr Hroznata, a Bohemian nobleman (d. 1217). The first monks came from the Abbey of Strahov in Prague. Tepl escaped any damage in the Hussite Wars, probably on account of the military spirit of its Abbot, Racko of Risenberg (1411-44), who was aided by his relatives. It suffered, however, all the more during the era of the Reformation. Luther's doctrine soon found adherents among the subjects of the abbey. In 1525 there was a rebellion against the abbot and peace was not restored until the ringleaders of the revolt were executed. In the following years a number of the monks left the order and married. Monastic discipline was restored by Abbot Johann Kurz (1555-59), who also established a theological school. But his successor, Johann Meyskönig (1559-85), had a struggle with insubordination in the monastery. With the aid of the archbishop he was able to improve the monastery and the school. He brought back most of his subjects to the Catholic Church by compulsion, after gentle treatment had failed. The reform was continued by Mathias Göhl (1585-96). Andreas Ebersbach (1598-1629) was a zealous reformer of the abbey and raised it to such a height that it was called the "nursery of pastoral work". Parochial work and higher education are still important features of the life of the abbey. The abbey has the pastoral care of twenty-four parishes that are all in the western part of Bohemia, a section which is almost entirely German. A twenty-fifth parish is being formed. The abbey has a theological school of the order with a two-years' course and three professors. Since 1809 it has had charge of the German gymnasium at Pilsen where there are fourteen canons. It also owns the celebrated cure of Marienbad. It supports hospitals at Tepl and Marienbad. The members of the abbey include 84 priests, 13 clerics, and 2 novices. The present monastery building was erected by Abbot Raimund Wilfert II (1688-1724); the library was built by Abbot Gilbert Helmer (since 1900). The Romanesque church, with additions in the style of the transition to the Gothic, is one of the oldest churches of Bohemia.
The Catholic Encyclopedia is the most comprehensive resource on Catholic teaching, history, and information ever gathered in all of human history. This easy-to-search online version was originally printed between 1907 and 1912 in fifteen hard copy volumes.
Designed to present its readers with the full body of Catholic teaching, the Encyclopedia contains not only precise statements of what the Church has defined, but also an impartial record of different views of acknowledged authority on all disputed questions, national, political or factional. In the determination of the truth the most recent and acknowledged scientific methods are employed, and the results of the latest research in theology, philosophy, history, apologetics, archaeology, and other sciences are given careful consideration.
No one who is interested in human history, past and present, can ignore the Catholic Church, either as an institution which has been the central figure in the civilized world for nearly two thousand years, decisively affecting its destinies, religious, literary, scientific, social and political, or as an existing power whose influence and activity extend to every part of the globe. In the past century the Church has grown both extensively and intensively among English-speaking peoples. Their living interests demand that they should have the means of informing themselves about this vast institution, which, whether they are Catholics or not, affects their fortunes and their destiny.

TERRE HAUTE, Ind.— Despite never leading in the first half, the Indiana State basketball team used a balanced scoring attack to defeat Missouri State, 68-60, Wednesday in front of 5,593 fans inside Hulman Center.
The Sycamores improved to 11-6, 4-2 MVC while Missouri State fell to 5-13, 3-3 MVC.
With the win the Sycamores improved to 35-2 under head coach Greg Lansing when holding their opponents to 63 points or less.
Four different Sycamores reached double figure scoring. Arop, Gant, Devonte Brown, and Dawon Cummings all recorded 10 points in the contest.
All nine of the Sycamore players that recorded minutes in the game scored points, marking the third time this season the team has accomplished the feat. Junior guard Jake Odum also moved up to eighth place all-time at ISU in assists with 372.
The Sycamores shot a season-best 57.1 percent from the field (24-of-42) against the Bears as the team dished out 15 assists, paced by five from Odum. ISU hit 61.9 percent of their shots in the second half (13-of-21). Justin Gant was 5-of-7 from the field.
Indiana State has won four of the last five meetings at home against Missouri State and are 7-3 in their last 10 meetings with the Bears -- its best run since an 8-2 spurt from 1970-1992.
It was a slow start offensively for the Sycamores who found themselves trailing the Bears 11-4 early in the first half. The Sycamores used a balanced scoring attack to chip away at the Bears lead to cut it to one at 17-16 with just over eight minutes remaining in the first half.
Indiana State shared the ball extremely well to open the game with seven different Sycamores scoring over the first 12 minutes of the game.
With just over four minutes remaining in the first half the Sycamore defense came to life, forcing a Bears shot clock violation. However, the Bears capitalized on back-to-back Sycamore turnovers to extend their lead to 27-18. A RJ Mahurin basket and a Lucas Eitel threy brought the Sycamores right back and forced a Missouri State timeout with the Indiana State trailing the Bears 27-23.
At halftime the Sycamores trailed the the Bears of Missouri State 31-27. Eight different Sycamores recorded points and shot 52% from the floor in the first half of play.
After not leading in the first half, the Sycamores scored on their first three possessions of the second half off a Justin Gant bucket, Mahurin 3-pointer and Odum free throws, to tie the game at 34-34 for the first time since 0-0.
Junior Dawon Cummings then gave Indiana State its first lead of the game with a three-pointer and Odum steal and fast break layup gave the Sycamores a 12-5 run and forced a Missouri State timeout with ISU leading 39-36 with just under 16 minutes left to play.
Following the media timeout, junior Many Arop continued the Sycamore run with three straight baskets off a jumper in the paint and a three-pointer as the shot clock expired after a Missouri State free throw.
Late in the second half, both teams offense's went through a three-minute scoring drought before Arop broke through with a layup to make him the first Sycamore to reach double figures with 10 points.
The Sycamores jumped out to an 11 point lead, their largest of the game, with just under five minutes to play at 56-45 off a Gant layup.
Despite a brief Missouri State run in the final minutes, the Sycamores held on to defeat the Bears by a final score of 68-60.
The Sycamores will return to action Saturday when they host the Purple Aces of Evansville at 8:05 p.m. (ET).

HUNTSVILLE, AL - Last year, the Tennessee Titans lost three games in the regular season.
On Sunday, Jeff Fisher's team matched that number.
Tennessee is 0-3 now after a 24-17 loss to the New York Jets. It's been 11 years since a team started 0-3 and made the playoffs (the Bills). Since the NFL expanded the playoff field to 12 teams in 1990, only three teams have gotten off to such a start and still made the playoffs (the Bills, the Lions in 1995 and the Chargers in 1992).
The Titans don't exactly get have the kind of schedule that's conducive to rebounding quickly, either. Their next three games are at Jacksonville, at home against Indianapolis and at New England.
Think they have a chance to turn it around? I'm not so sure.

This is a cute blouse that I knitted with pleasure for a project, being asked to knit something that is inspired by the romanian traditional costumes. I knitted it in 5 strands of lace cotton yarn, in a very beautiful light and medium green colours, I love the colour combination. It's very easy to match this blouse with jeans or other pants and skirts.
The motif stitch pattern is Tuck. The blouse was knitted on a standard knitting machine (4.5mm). Continue reading

60 now and primal 3+ years. I was well on the way for the previous 15 years or so - no processed foods, no seed oils, virtually no sugar, grass fed meats and chicken, lots of offal and fish, organic veg; only grains had to go and then it was home made sourdough.
Results - lower blood pressure, no more steroid inhalers for asthma, weight down by about 25 pounds (I wasn't really overweight to start with though) and feeling fitter than I have since my 20's. Just wish that the IBS symptoms (which I've had since my teens) would go then I'd be really chuffed!!

Time Warner Cable Sports in Syracuse announced today that it will be televising a Thursday night Section III high school football game of the week this coming season. The contests will be the only scheduled high school football game that evening. They'll go up against the highly popular Thursday night college football game of the week on ESPN.
ESPN recently began televising college football games on Friday nights, the traditional evening set aside for high school games. Syracuse University played three Friday night games last season to accommodate television including two games at the Carrier Dome.
Section III executive director John Rathbun said he does not feel threatened by the Friday night games with the hometown Orange on ESPN, but thinks the Thursday night game of the week is a way to promote high school football in Central New York.
"It will be a golden opportunity to showcase the community and school," Rathbun said. "I think it's pretty cool."
Time Warner Sports will televise six high school football games on Thursday night this fall starting with the Homer at Cortland contest on August 30 at 7 p.m. It'll be the first game at Cortland's new field, Rathbun said.
"What we tried to do is sit down with our football committee and Time Warner to come up with a real interesting Thursday night competitive game," Rathbun said. "I guarantee whoever that game is on Thursday night that attention is going to pop up that night. Everybody's going to be watching that game."
Time Warner will also televise six Friday night high school football games this season. The first one is Onondaga at Weedsport on August 31 at 7 p.m.
The final television lineup of the regular season will be announced at a later date. Rathbun said that gives the section some flexibility in identifying perhaps key games of interest.
Rathbun said there will be 26 schools in Section III this season playing Class C football. He said Onondaga will be the only Class D school, but will be playing several Class C games against neighborhood rivals like Tully.
Class C teams will only play a six-week schedule. The seventh week will be for playoffs.
Cortland, Homer and Chittenango have all moved into Class B, Rathbun said.
High school football begins August 13.
Here is the television schedule for games this season:
Thursday, Aug. 30 - Homer @ Cortland, 7 p.m.
Friday, Aug. 31 - Onondaga @ Weedsport, 7 p.m.
Thursday, Sept. 6 -Skaneateles @ Jordan-Elbridge, 7 p.m.

How to setup a basic firewall in Ubuntu Linux
The first question you will ask yourself (probably) is "why on earth would I need a firewall? Linux is secure, right?" Right, and I know lots of desktop Linux users that never had to touch the subject or don't know what iptables or Netfilter is. Which is probably just fine, but that doesn't mean Linux is 100% safe from any attacks. Any sufficiently complex software has bugs, and many bugs can be exploited and become a security issue. So in the end it's all about some bored enough cracker to take advantage of some vulnerability (one example that springs to mind is the recently discovered sudo bug). What you will need in this case is a better protection than the default (I know Linux is a tough game to crack, but that doesn't make it impossible) while trying not to change in any way on how you use your computer. Consequently, this article will focus on the casual Ubuntu user that has some knowledge of security and networks (what a vulnerability is, what a port scan is, etc.) that wants to secure his/her system. Happy reading and remember that you can always talk with us or other users by going to the forums.

HUNTSVILLE, AL - Are you worried your children's brains will be oozing out their ears after a summer of video games and television?
In academic circles, it's called the summer slide or slump.
According to the National Summer Learning Institute's website:
- Without educational activities during the summer, young people experience learning losses. Research shows that students typically score lower on standardized tests at the end of summer vacation than they do on the same tests at the beginning of the summer.
- Most students lose about two months of grade-level equivalency in mathematical skills over the summer months. Low-income students also lose more than two months in reading achievement.
- More than half of the achievement gap between lower- and higher-income youth can be explained by unequal access to summer learning opportunities.
- Children gain weight more rapidly when they are out of school during summer break.
- Parents cite summer as the most difficult time to ensure that their children have productive things to do.
The 30 students attending the CollegeFirst program that began on June 7 at the University of Alabama in Huntsville are getting a jump start on advanced placement classes they'll be talking in the fall. The students voluntarily signed up to spend three weeks in classrooms and labs on the UAH campus to stay academically fresh.
But not all children keep learning when school's out.
"Summer slide is a real phenomenon," said Stephen Black, president of Impact Alabama, the not-for-profit organization that is partnering with A+ College Ready on the CollegeFirst program.
While teachers have been handing out summer work for a long time, "that has been handled with varying levels of success," said Mary Boehm, president of A+ College Ready, a division of A+ Education Partnership.
"More than half of the achievement gap present in ninth grade between lower- and higher-income children can be explained by summer learning loss," Boehm said. "That relates to what higher income parents are able to do," such as send their kids to dance classes and summer camps and go on trips.
"That leads to educational development of another kind," Boehm said.
To keep kids' minds sharp during the summer, Boehm suggests parents encourage them to read. Sign up for the summer reading program at the public library or check out books on summer reading lists, even if your child's teacher isn't requiring the book.
- Get them involved in sports, which keeps kids healthy and active as well as teaches them teamwork.
- Get them outside and away from the television and video games. That will help with obesity and exercise the mind.
- Practice math skills in the grocery store or the mall.
"Part of summer slide research shows it's important to provide (children) with opportunities to have intellectual activities," Black said.
The National Summer Learning Association has several links to help parents keep their kids academically sharp while they're out of school for the summer:
Scholastic Summer Reading Challenge
This free summer-long literacy program is designed to motivate children to read four or more books. The Summer Challenge site also features resources for educators and parents.
Active Bodies Active Minds
This site provides summer reading and fitness challenges designed by Summer Bridge Activities and Major League Soccer to help kids stay sharp and fit over the summer.
Reading Is Fundamental
RIF's Summer Reading Guide has tips, book ideas and a daily calendar of summer reading activities.
Read Write Think
This site has a range of summer activities that promote "Learning Beyond the Classroom" for K-12 children and youth.
Freshbrain.org offers an online summer camp focused on multimedia development and production including application development, graphic design, music mixing and robotics.
Exploratorium is an virtual science center with exhibits, interactive tools and modules, as well as science projects.
American Library Association
The ALA has tips on making the most of the trip to the library.

SALEM, Ore. – Corban University's thirteenth-year head women's basketball coach Terry Williams was named Chuck Bowles Coach of the Year by the Salem Sports and Breakfast Club at the organization's end-of-the-year breakfast Friday.
The Chuck Bowles Coach of the Year award is presented annually to both a High School and College coach for significant professional achievement. The award was first presented in 1975 to Jim Boutin of Willamette University and has included such coaches as Tim Hills, Rick Adelman, Vic Backlund, Gordie James, Barry Adams, and Dan Hawkins.
Williams, who is the 36th recipient of the annual award, guided the Warriors' women's basketball program to its second Cascade Collegiate Conference regular season title after going 13-5 in league play and tying with rival Concordia. Williams and Corban went 19-11 overall last season that included seven wins in the final nine games of the year. For the second straight season, Williams guided Corban to the semifinal round of the conference's post-season tournament before falling to The College of Idaho.
During his tenure as head coach at Corban, Williams has amassed a career win-loss record of 202-184. Williams is the first coach in program history to surpass the 200-win plateau thanks to the Warriors' come-from-behind win over C of I, 77-75 in overtime, in February of 2011.
This is the second time in program history that Corban's head coach has received the award, as former head women's basketball coach Dave Bale was honored by the Salem Sports and Breakfast Club in 2007.

To the Editor of THE EAGLE:
Congressman Edward Markey voted against the creation of the Department of Homeland Security. This is why we had the Boston Marathon bombing -- because many people in high places have not taken terrorism seriously.
Gabriel Gomez is a former Navy pilot and elite Navy SEAL. He not only put his own life on the line to protect us but most assuredly will continue to do so politically as a U.S. senator.

Big Gay Road Trip: Edmonton
Who would've thought that we would find the highest concentration of talented drag queens in Edmonton, Alberta? Up until we left for this trip, we hadn't even heard of Edmonton, which is the capital of the oil-rich province (we think of Alberta as the Texas of Canada), and we saw more quality drag in one evening there than we have seen anywhere else on our trip.
We were only in Edmonton for one night, but we kept busy and were determined to find fun even on a Sunday. We started out for Prism, Edmonton's dyke bar, but the doors were locked and the few people inside did not hear our plaintive knocking, so we set out for The Roost, which we heard was a popular destination. While there was a decent crowd, when the show started, we were faced with this:
So we fled to Buddy's with the help of some friendly gays with a car. Unfortunately we missed the variety show that evening, but got to chat with some of Edmonton's finest queens. Pictured at top (from left to right) are Ruby, Vanity Fair, Binki, Krystall Ball, and GoDiva. Vanity and Binki were the hostesses of Stardust Lounge, the event that I missed but which happens every Sunday at Buddy's.
The lovely queens showed us such nice hospitality, as did the mostly-naked barboys and some other cute local guys and girls, whose photos appear after the jump.
These bartenders only did this for the photo, maybe to cover up how well the one on the right filled out his briefs.
This photo reminds us of a gay Benetton ad.
These girls were being naughty all night.
Visit the Edmonton city guide provided by GayCities.com , the sponsor of Queerty's Big Gay Road Trip: Northern Edition.
If those 5 bitches are the best drag queens Edmonton has to offer than I'll go with Twisted Sister — at least she looks like she has a sense of humor.
Christ, they look like they popped bad acid and spent a weekend watching Pink Flamingos — and Mink Stole is really going to be pissed that they lifted her look. Except the one on the left looks like Skippy, one of the Fun Girls from Mt. Pilot: Hello, Doll. I can hear her using that line on the audience now (or what's left of the audience. You can tell by the way she won't look into the camera she suffers from poor self-esteem probably because those other hog bitches only let her on stage during Saturday matinees or Thursday amateur night.). And don't get me started on that haughty slut in the white Sally Fields jump suit! She didn't spend every minute of her teenage years dressed in her Mother's best, posing in front of a mirror dreaming of the day, did she? If she lifted her chin any higher she'd be looking at the Big Dipper, or whatever her trick du jour calls it.
I suggest that if the editors of this blog want really good drag that you buy a little make-up and a little birdseed and do it themselves. It's a lot more fun that way and by the look of Dan Renzi's photo on his website, you're half way there already!
Note to Seth: Aren't you like, um, really passive aggressive. And, like, isn't that a good thing because now we have someone to keep track of decades-old jokes about, um, racist ad campaigns.
bitter bitter bitter….
Hey jenna girlfriend.
I got plenty of bitter bitch! If you've got the bourbon and the vermouth we could get together and get plastered on Manhattans.
I'm glad you had a great time in Edmonton, too bad you missed the show!!! For years Edmonton has put out many of Canada's best queens, we work hard at entertaining and constantly raising our standards.

Reader Surprised To Find Gay Magazines Lumped In With Drugs, Porn at Local Borders
THE SHOT — Shane, in Ohama, Nebraska, writes in to express his horror at finding "just three" gay magazines at his local Borders. "And I found them at the very back of the racks, behind: Pornography and magazines promoting marijuana. Which is illegal in my state of Nebraska." To be fair, Details is there too, so technically that's four gay mags.
Don't gay people read blogs now-a-days, not magazines? I know I've read more than one study saying we're much more blog-oriented…I would imagine there would be a higher volume of magazine sales for porn and marijuana compared to gay issues in Omaha, Nebraska. Sometimes we need to remember we're less than 10% of the overall population.Aug 10, 2010 at 12:08 pm · @Reply ·
In Winnipeg …there would be none…or plastic wrapped….
I thought this was a headline from The Onion.
Me too. Uhh… and? What's the point? Yippee for this random guy from Omaha I guess.
Yeah, Borders sucks big surprise.
At the Borders in my town, the "gay" magazines are in the lifestyle section, not the (heterosexual) porn section.
Very haterosexual. Put the gay magazines in the porn section because haterosexuals always associate gay people with sex and gay people plus sex always equals bad for haterosexuals. Haterosexuals believe gay people are inferior to them so put the magazine in the back. These attitudes affect everything relating to gay people. You will notice that gay related information is usually placed on the bottom of a biography on Wikipedia.
Is that Ohama or Omaha?
They sell porn at Borders? I think that's the most shocking thing in this story.
@Alan Brickman: wtf are you talking about? You can get all the gay mags at any Chapters or McNally bookstore in Winnipeg. They are not plastic wrapped nor are they stocked with the porn or drug magazines. They are usually in the "men's interest" or "gay and lesbian" section.
Incidentally, the magazine store at the Winnipeg Airport (the one before security) has the best offering of queer mags of any airport magazine store in Canada. For the longest time, they even sold "Freshman" magazine, which WAS plastic-wrapped. I could never figure out who would leaf through an actual gay porn magazine on an airplane.
No. 10 · Mike wrote, "I could never figure out who would leaf through an actual gay porn magazine on an airplane."
A male flight attendant?
You might as well be outraged about Best Buy not selling black & white tube tv's anymore. I love reading magazines but now I do it online…or like most of my frineds, just get an ipad or an amazon reader. Every single magazine out there is in financial trouble and about to go under because nobody is buying them anymore…so who really cares?
still don't get why DETAILS is considering a gay magazine along with GQ and ESQUIRE.
as a reader of OUT, GENRE, and DNA, I don't see how DETAILS will fill the void or articles or eye candy that REAL gay magazines have
@John: it's kind of a running joke that Details is a gay magazine. It's not, really but it sure does have tons of content that most gay men find appealing. It also would appeal to the liberal-minded straight guys…i.e. the ones who wouldn't be caught dead with an issue of Maxim
This is news?
And why hasn't anybody called Shane out on being a liar? There are only 2 mags in front of the gay magazines and they're both High Times. The porn is on the other end of the shelf on the *other* side of all the Tattoo Mags, Heavy Metal, and Bizarre. None of which is porn. *AND* there aren't any gay mags on that back shelf. So no, they're not all on the back shelf behind the porn and pot magazines, they're on the middle shelves behind 2 pot magazines which have to be on the front because High Times pays for premium shelf space.
Having worked at borders and been in charge of the mags I would also like to point out that on the other side of the shelf divider those are Photography magazines. So the gay mags are actually closer to the Art section than the Porn.
Basically, those magazine sections are about 10 times too small for the product Borders Employees have to cram in there. Sometimes things get moved because they won't fit anywhere else and Political Correctness be damned.
Plus in all likelihood shane has nothing to bitch about because he wasn't going to buy the damn things anyway. He, like 90% of borders customers, was probably going to go sit in the cafe, read them, then leave them on the table because it's oh so difficult to put them back where you got them…
There's a reason I don't work at Borders any more…
@Jimmy Fury: It doesn't sound like you should work for JetBlue either……
@patrick: but the slide sounds like fun!
Sorry, but I've notice this a lot too. Gay mags are usually BEHIND the porn and behind the pot magazines. It's unreal non-pornographic gay magazines are somehow more "deviant" then magazine which promote habits which either land you in jail or those which you must be 18 or older to read about.
I have a habit of going to Target, for example, and taking The Advocate, if they even have it, from the very back row and moving it to the front. There's only been one book store, Books A Million, I've been to (and, no, I don't know if it's a chain policy), which places the gay lifestyle magazines out in front just like every other lifestyle magazine.
For those who think this article is bunk obviously haven't been to too many bookstores.
thanks Mike for sharing!!!!
my friend said when he buys mags at chapters the women act they are packaging dead fish amd making faces…nice….hope this doesn't happen to you….
As someone who actually frequents Borders, let me point out that this shelf space is for magazines that pertain to specific subcultures and special interests. When Borders actually feels like carrying Gothic Beauty (which is a totally G-rated magazine), it ends up here as well. I hate to break it to you, but if you have a magazine that is geared towards only a specific segment of the population, then it belongs on that shelf. Sorry if you don't personally like the other subcultures it's forced to share space with.
yaaay Details came out!!
wait – right?
'Details' should really be shrink-wrapped.
It's worse at the library. Gay non-fiction books are on the same shelf with prostitution, pedophilia and sexual dysfunction.

The 2013 Australian Open Chess Championships took place from 2-13 January at the Norths Chess Club in Cammeray.
The competition was an 11-round Swiss with over 100 players taking part and the winner was 15-year old Bobby Cheng (pictured).
Bobby is the youngest ever player to win the Australian Open title!
The former under-12 World Champion scored a tremendous 9½/11, beating GM Igor Khenkin (2659 Elo) along the way.
The time control was 90 minutes for 40 moves, followed by 30 minutes for remaining moves, with an increment of 30 seconds per move from the start.
The top finishers
More information is available at the official website.
Is there any news on possible norms that he achieved during this event?
Wow, I'm thirteen and would love to be that good in two years...not happening though.
Actually, I was wrong anyway . I've corrected it now. I was kind of hoping that the comments would be more about the excellent result for Bobby Cheng...
Pyrta you're wrong, the increment is added after 30 moves.
So, why didnt you say "11 moves in 90 min with a 30 sec increment"? It would be the same. After 11 moves are completed you have whatever time have left plus 30 sec increment. There must be some additional time after 30 moves.
Aha, I understand now. So no increment till 30. OK.
@ MSC157 - that's it. After 30 moves are completed you have whatever time you have left plus 30 seconds increment per move
I don't understand this:
"The time control was 30 moves in 90 minutes with a 30 second increment."
And then?

Post Time: 7:00
1 - IDEALIC LIFE drops and moves up on off-track with early foot. CALMLEE JASON also drops after being parked a little way and has shown ability to handle off-going. I'M SO BLUE is Gingras' pick of trio to drive, but also is the morning-line favorite and will offer little value.
2 - KEEP IT REAL takes huge dip in class. AMASLA AL closed well. Main threat if to pick doesn't fire. MEAT LOAF drops. Attracts Gingras with 15-1 morning line.
3 - TREY is Gingras' pick of three to pilot after burying cheaper by 3 1/2. LASTCOMICSTANDING is proven commodity on wet surface. Toss out last effort for ENLIGHTENED CAM at Dover. Money chance.
4 - PAN GRAD took some air before taking lead and hanging in stretch. ALEXANDERTHEGREAT steps up after coming a long way outside to beat lesser. You will not get 30-1 on BORDER FIGHTING this time.
5 - WARNING ZONE is just faster with more early speed than FRED AND GINGER, who gets Lasix for the first time. I WANNA GO FAST drops from Presidential Series, but draws outside slot.
6 - BETTOR DESIGN may like Meadowlands better than Yonkers. TY'S A BIG STAR turned in a snappy 26.4 last quarter in qualifier at the Big M. Gingras and REAL SPECIAL must overcome Post 10.
7 - STAR OF THE GAME moves up on off track but can't fall too far back early. RIP DADDY closed well at 25-1. Needs quick fractions. How often do you get a 20-1 morning line on Gingras? You do with ENRY.
8 - WHITTAKER improved with Lasix. MASTERCHARGEIT ships in sharp with early speed. RELENTLESS G may go back to his pace-pressing ways to improve his chances.
9 - CRUZWITHDABIGDOG rebounded from Clyde Hirt series with nifty score at 6-5. Right back. AVOGADRO HANOVER steps up after coasting at 6-5. In form. HEART OF ROCKNROLL gets part.
10 - WESTWARDHO HANOVER (BEST BET) whipped all eight opponents in this field in last including runnerup CAMAES FELLOW and TOWNSLIGHT HANOVER, but don't expect to get rich with the heavy favorite.
11 - ADAMS HANOVER just beat same sort. Does it again. MIDAS BLUE CHIP also defeated same kind. ART FOR ARTS SAKE drops. Wasn't that far back at finish, but must pace faster.
12 - CAMBASSADOR needed a race after shipping down from Canada to show his stuff. Overtakes GUNMANS BANDIT and holds off ARTIC BLUE.
13 - Toss out last race for ITSOVALIGHTSOUT and note gelding was overhead in Complex Series in prior two starts, the first two since he was given Lasix. ROCKNROLL JEWEL is main threat, but stuck outside. Add 15-1 WHIPPER SNAPPER and THOMAS J to put some pricing punch in exotics.

Current areas of focus include, dynamic perfusion computed tomography for nodule characterization and for early response to treatment monitoring, lobar co-localization between lung disease and cancer, and animal models for lung cancer evaluation and drug development.

Opt-In Information Page
Due to legislative reasons, we can not authorize and pay overdrafts for the following types of transactions unless you ask us to (meaning you "opt-in"):
If you "opt in," Linn Area Credit Union may pay debit card transactions, even if you do not have the funds in your account to cover it. This is to protect you from the inconvenience and embarrassment of having the transaction declined.
An example of how this works:
What if I already have Overdraft Advance?
Overdraft Advance is one of our Overdraft Services but it CANNOT BE USED FOR ATM TRANSACTIONS OR EVERY DAY DEBIT CARD TRANSACTIONS UNLESS YOU OPT-IN.
What if I don't plan on ever being overdrawn?
Great! If you're never overdrawn, then this service will never kick in. However, even members who don't plan to be overdrawn will occasionally find themselves in an emergency situation or may find that a deposit has been delayed through no fault of their own. If you opt-in, you will be covered in the rare instance that your account accidentally becomes overdrawn. There is no charge to have the service, you only pay in the event that you use it.
How do I opt in?
Just contact us. Be sure to let us know all of the accounts that you want this protection for.
What if I don't want to opt-in?
Don't do anything. If we don't hear from you, your debit card transactions will not be covered in the case of an overdrawn checking account and you will not incur overdraft charges. If you change your mind at any time, you can always contact us.

Government Isn't Everything
George Weigel, Denver Catholic Register
In his acute analysis of the character and institutions of the United States, "Democracy in America," Alexis de Tocqueville, a 19th-century French liberal, stressed the importance of what we call "civil society." American democracy, Tocqueville understood, wasn't just a matter of the state, here, and the individual, there. "Between" the state (or government) and the people there were the many free, voluntary associations that formed the sinews and musculature of America. Those free associations also performed many essential social functions: they educated the young, served the poor and cared for the sick.
Writing a century and a half after Tocqueville, Pope John Paul II ...

Dr. Scott Thompson Facelift Review
My motivation for a face lift was primarily due to premature aging. The age I felt inside did not match the age that I saw when I looked in the mirror. I looked matronly, with a sagging jaw line and neck, bags under my eyes, and an overall tiredness to my face. I didn't feel good about the way I... READ MORE

Ann Arbor residents of all ages were on Main Street Friday evening learning about 'everything green' during the 14th annual Mayor's Green Fair.
Over 100 booths displaying everything from energy efficient light bulbs and the latest in hybrid cars to mechanical energy systems and environmentally friendly appliances lined Main Street between William Street and Huron Street.
Children rode go-carts up and down the street and got a chance to honk on AAATA bus horn, while adults sipped beer from the zero-waste beer garden and learned about the latest in environmentally friendly technology.

The Web page has been online for almost nine months and has generated thousands of hits.
It doesnt have videos of people doing stupid things, and it probably wont be sold for millions of dollars.
But the city of Amarillos Web page that shows outstanding warrants has been a boon to the city, helping officials resolve outstanding warrants and clearing tedious work for city police officers, officials said.
Since the Web page www.amarillopolice.org/warrants.htm was created in February, it has received about 37,000 hits, said Victoria Medley, court administrator for the city. The page is averaging about 127 hits a day, she said.
About 30 to 70 warrants come on the Web page each day, Medley said. Information for the Web page is extracted from data from the police department every morning.
As (people) take care of it, their names will come off, Medley said.
When the police department and the city announced a major warrant roundup last May the first time police and city officials heavily promoted the new Web site almost 2,000 of 30,000 warrants were cleared.
Although how much money the Web site has generated for the city is difficult to track, said Medley, it has increased the efficiency of her office and has made it easier for people to track whether they have warrants they need to clear up.
From the comfort of your own home, you can look it up and have the opportunity to come into compliance said Medley.
The ease and convenience of looking up warrant information on the Internet site has also made it much easier for court workers because people often know what they are dealing with when they come to court, Medley said.
That has helped to shorten the lines, Medley said.
It is much more efficient when people know what to deal with when they come in, Medley said. Anytime you can give the public more information, it is going to be a win-win for the city and the public.
Warrant information also has helped the police department by allowing it to focus on other police activity rather than serving warrants, said Cpl. Jerry Neufeld of the Amarillo Police Department.
We can be a more of proactive department. It does free up our officers to do more, Neufeld said.

Kobe or Durant for the NBA scoring title?
Lost among the chaos that resulted from Metta World Peace's violent elbow of James Harden was the fact Kobe Bryant and Kevin Durant are neck-and-neck for the scoring title -- they're within four hundredths of a point of one another with only three games left between the two of them. To put it lightly, this is pretty important to (at the very least) Kobe, and we can't imagine that he'll go at anything less than 100 percent in his last game against the Kings. That being said, Durant may be more concerned about Harden's availability, as he's day-to-day with a concussion from World Peace's strike.
Who ends up on top?
The difference between Bryant and Durant's scoring averages this season is so slim that it could come down to a thousandth of a point.
Last shot?
Bryant has been the go-to gunner at the end of games for a number of years, but the younger Durant could take that crown from him this year.
Championship threats?
The Lakers beat the Thunder in their latest matchup, but it's anyone's guess as to how a theoretical playoff series would play out.

SAGINAW, MI — Over the course of more than 40 days, the walls and bricks at the old North Middle School, 1101 N. Bond in Saginaw, came tumbling down, leaving bright orange lockers and murals exposed to the elements.
Basketball hoops, auditorium seats, projection screens and other things you see in schools appeared briefly in the rubble before they were buried forever. This week, the auditorium stage where students once performed in plays, musicals and concerts, stood eerily by itself, its curtains hanging, waiting for a crane to tear it down.
A demolition crew from Mead & Sons Contracting has spent the last six weeks tearing down the old building where tens of thousands of Saginaw students were educated from 1922 until it closed in 2008.
The school's chimney, the last recognizable part of the building, will be torn down about 9 a.m. Tuesday morning, May 6.
Covenant HealthCare purchased the vacant building, adjacent to its large medical campus, in August 2013. Once it's razed, crews will plant grass on the site until Covenant has a development plan for the property.
The demolition site has attracted a steady stream of viewers, people who attended North Middle School over the decades, snapping photos or just stopping for one last glance of the building before it is gone.
MLive is looking for your photos from North Middle School. If you have pictures of the old building, the people or activities that happened inside its walls, please send them via email to Saginaw News Multimedia Specialist Jeff Schrier at email@example.com, or call him at 989-928-1518. Feel free to add your images in the comments section below, as well.

The 24,000 people came to see stars shine in the Carrier Dome on Tuesday night for the One World Concert.
In one large ensemble call for peace, they got what they wanted in grand style a little before 9 p.m. as Roberta Flack led more than 25 performers through a tender and telling rendition of John Lennon's classic song of hope, "Imagine." The four-plus hours of inspiration through the words of the Dalai Lama and Martin Luther King III and songs from about 30 acts had its signature musical moment.
The cheers kept increasing as Natasha Bedingfield, Nelly Furtado, Phillip Phillips, Cyndi Lauper and more took their solo turns with the late Beatle's words of peace on Lennon's birthday.
The Dalai Lama sat and listened attentively before standing to shake each and every musician's hand.
Then Dave Matthews appeared, acoustic guitar in hand, to tell the crowd that
"I've taken a lot of my better lyrics from His Holiness."
Matthews launched into his timeless tale "Don't Drink the Water" as the fans stood and soaked in the simple majesty of his voice and guitar. Matthews sang the stark and pure lyrics to "This Land Is Your Land" within his composition to add to the goosebumps.
His four-song set included the wistful "Mercy" and "Stay or Leave," and everybody stood still listening to the superstar unload the tales of his heart.
He finished with a cool cover of John Denver's "Take Me to Tomorrow," showing that this big name succeeded living up to the billing and anticipation.
Matthews gave way to a parade of musical diversity: The modern Indian sounds of A.R. Rahman led into the classic folk-rock of David Cosby and then to today's pop of Bedingfield and Furtado.
Crosby chose to sing about reincarnation, with a truly rocking version of the classic "Deja Vu." His voice cracked a time or two, but the crowd cheered like it was the thought that counted as Crosby continued into an epic "Long Time Gone."
The Syracuse University students in the crowd obviously took to the younger acts, shrieking loudly and dancing along to Bedinfield's hit "Unwritten" and Furtado's strident "Indestructible."
"American Idol" winner Phillips -- hey, didn't America like to call him a Matthews disciple as he kept surviving rounds on the Fox TV competition -- had some prepared fans waving small flags in the floor seats as he rocked with "Home," his song that became a soundtrack to the U.S. Olympic team's successes this summer on NBC.
The parade of stars was quick. It was fun. It was a whirlwind of hope and dreams for a better world.
Backed by the oh-so-tight Don Was and the All-Star Band, everybody worked hard to make the most of their short, sweet time on stage, and the crowd appreciated their time spent with each performer.
A neat mash-up teamed Cyndi Lauper, Angelique Kidjo and David Sanborn for a high-reaching voice-and-saxophone prelude into Lauper's gem "True Colors." Lauper and Kidjo traded and shared the rainbow lyrics with great affection as Sanborn's sax built a lush instrumental blanket underneath. West African native Kidjo stayed out for a percussive, rhythmic version of "Move on Up."
Flack was pure silk with "Isn't It a Pity." In the middle of her pretty work, the crowd oddly decided to start the wave, round and round the stadium.
Matisyahu merged his worlds of reggae and hip-hop for a lilting "One Day."
Popster Andy Grammer coaxed the crowd into a thunderous sing-along on his sweet hit "Keep Your Head Up." He jumped down into the crowd, roaming the aisle and slapping hands.
He was followed by a pop heartthrob from an earlier generation -- or two -- as Engelbert Humberdinck crooned "I Believe."
Swizz Beatz and Emmanuel Jai teamed for a steamy dance/hip-hop "Warchild," a strong call for peace.
BeBe Winans followed that powerful set with the passionate and pretty ballad "I Need You."
The voices of Shani Rigsby, Andy Madadian and Liel Kolei -- representing Israel and Iran -- joined beautifully for "We Hear Your Voice," and Kolei and Madadian followed that with "Send Me an Angel." A group of children joined Kolei to form the Voices of Peace Choir to sing a very pretty version of Leonard Cohen's great song "Hallelujah."
Lead singer Adam Duritz and Counting Crows closed the show with a rousing rock set that began with their classic hit "Round Here," drawing the crowd to its feet for one last time in a night of big and heartfelt ovations.
Duritz's big voice had the crowd rapt during the 1993 favorite. He moved to the piano for a pretty "Look at Miss Ohio."
The early acts delivered a beautiful array of international sound to the attentive crowd.
TEAL-ONE 97 merged a gorgeous blend of Middle Eastern and North African grooves as they sang, "It's a new day for you and me" from their song "New Day on the Horizon."
The Voices of Afghanistan stood proudly, seven strong, as they delivered their traditional Afghan sound. "I love you," declared singer Ustad Farida Mahwash as the crowd cheered her words passionately.
Joanne Shenandoah brought her sister, Diane, and daughter, Leah, to perform a lovely Native American song of peace as the crowd cheered their lovely voices on "There Will Be Peace."
The native of the Wolf Clan of the Iroquois Confederacy and Grammy Award winner has performed at peace concerts all around the world. She caught the attention of Goldberg, who told the crowd that she'd opened for the Dalai Lama before, but this was the first time she had the honor to share the stage with Shenandoah.
Goldberg watched the many fans -- not packed solid, but filling around 95 percent of the available seats -- sitting as the early bands played. She urged them to get up and dance to the worldly sounds. Many did.
When His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama came to the stage to deliver his words of peace, the crowd stood immediately and stood in respect and awe until he told the people to sit down. The place boomed with cheers when he put on a Syracuse University visor before addressing them with the embracing salutation: "Dear brothers and sisters."
They hung on his every word as he urged them to concentrate on similarities within all people instead of dwelling on the differences.
Matthews took the stage with crib notes in hand as the Dalai Lama sat in his chair following his speech. "I can't riff like His Holiness," the music star said.
He told of how he played a sold out stadium in Seattle on a bill that also featured the Dalai Lama. "He was the hottest ticket in town," Matthews said, adding how his Quaker mother raised him with "the idea of peace as something to a solution to our problems."

Pannonica "Nica" Rothschild is one of the most beguiling figures in jazz history.
A British-born heiress, she fell under the spell of Thelonious Monk's "Straight, No Chaser" and made jazz and jazzmen her life.
Charlie Parker died in her apartment. She was said to have inspired more than 20 jazz compositions, including tunes recorded by Horace Silver, Art Blakey and Monk.
Her decades-long platonic relationship with Monk is at the center of "The Jazz Baroness," a new documentary by Rothschild's great-niece Hannah Rothschild. It debuted in November on HBO2 and is available on-demand through this weekend (December 21 is its posted end-date.)
The film's subject was a singular patron of jazz at its mid-century peak, pouring its elite musicians Scotch from a teapot and inviting them into her housecat-filled apartment and suburban home.
She took a pot bust for Monk once.
Now, that's a fan.
Interviews in the film include Sonny Rollins, Quincy Jones, Roy Haynes, Clint Eastwood and Thelonious Monk, Jr. There is haunting performance and archival footage. Helen Mirren ("The Queen") provides the voice of Rothschild, who died in 1988.
The words and music and images add up to a snapshot portrait of jazz life on and off the bandstand during the groundbreaking years after World War II.
"Most of (the musicians) were very willing to be (interviewed), I think because they loved her, and they could see where I was coming from," said Hannah Rothschild, during a recent phone interview. "I think they wanted that particular story, and that particular period, to be recorded. I think it's important for them that it's known about.
"It was Sonny who said, 'This isn't just her story. It's our story. And you need to tell this story.'
"He's been quite like the guardian angel of this project."
Rollins' affection for "Nica" is evident in his interview, in all of the musician interviews.
"I think she did play an important role," Hannah Rothschild said. "She wasn't an artist like they were She wasn't changing music history like they were. She wasn't going through some of the hardships that they had to go through.
"But I think she did recognize that they were doing something that was so extraordinary that if she could help them she jolly-well was going to do everything she could to do so."

Macrobrachium rosenbergii
Macrobrachium rosenbergii, also known as the giant river prawn, giant freshwater prawn, Malaysian prawn, freshwater scampi (especially in India: in West Bengal it is called Golda Chingdi), or cherabin, is a species of freshwater shrimp native to the Indo-Pacific region, northern Australia and Southeast Asia. This species (as well as other Macrobrachium) is commercially important for its value as a food source.[2] It is commonly called Ulang or Uwang in the Philippines.[citation needed]
While M. rosenbergii is considered a freshwater species, the larval stage of the animal depends on brackish water.[3] Once the individual shrimp has grown beyond the planktonic stage and become a juvenile, it will live entirely in freshwater.[3]
M. rosenbergii can grow to a length of over 30 centimetres (12 in).[2]
There are three different morphotypes of males.[4] The first stage is called "small male" (SM); this smallest stage has short, nearly translucent claws. If conditions allow, small males grow and metamorphose into "orange claws" (OC), which have large orange claws on their second chelipeds, which may have a length of 0.8 to 1.4 their body size.[4] OC males later may transform into the third and final stage, the "blue claw" (BC) males. These have blue claws, and their second chelipeds may become twice as long as their body.[3][4]
Male M. rosenbergii have a strict hierarchy: the territorial BC males dominate the OCs, which in turn dominate the SMs.[4] The presence of BC males inhibts the growth of SMs and delays the metamorphosis of OCs into BCs; an OC will keep growing until it is larger than the largest BC male in its neighbourhood before transforming.[4] All three male stages are sexually active, and females who have undergone their pre-mating moult will co-operate with any male to reproduce. BC males protect the female until their shell has hardened; OCs and SMs show no such behaviour.[4]
Life cycle[edit]
In mating, the male deposits spermatophores on the underside of the female's thorax, between the walking legs. The female then extrudes eggs, which pass through the spermatophores. The female carries the fertilised eggs with her until they hatch; the time may vary, but is generally less than three weeks. Females lay 10,000–50,000 eggs up to five times per year.[3]
From these eggs hatch zoeae, the first larval stage of crustaceans. They go through several larval stages before metamorphosing into postlarvae, at which stage they are 0.28–0.39 inches (7.1–9.9 mm) long and resemble adults.[3] This metamorphosis usually takes place about 32 to 35 days after hatching.[3] These postlarvae then migrate back into freshwater.

He's handsome and irresponsible. She's pretty and insane.
It's a match made in Hollywood.
Romantic comedies have been getting a little desperate lately — not surprising when you're still panning for gold in the same shallow streams — but the desperation shows painfully in "Barefoot," a new indie film (albeit a remake of an older German one.)
Yes, it's getting harder to come up with a fresh "meet-cute" for your movie. But having your black-sheep hero pushing a broom at a mental hospital — where it's love-at-first-stare when a new, albeit nearly catatonic beauty shows up — redefines "contrived."
Also, possibly, "bad taste."
Really, the emotionally ill have enough stigmas to contend with. They don't need the patronizing-yet-popular movie one of "They're just like us — only, you know, more innocent." Treating someone like a rare and lovely child isn't treating them like an adult, or an equal.
But Jay, our hero, has a family wedding he has to go to and no date. So when this fragile little flower — whose name, I'm afraid, is Daisy -- follows him out of the ward, what's he supposed to do? Except borrow some dresses from his stripper friends and take her cross-country to pass her off as his girlfriend?
Yeah, I could think of a few dozen other options, too.
But this movie can't, which is why we're plunged into one unbelievable yet oddly familiar situation after another, including a chase scene in a stolen RV, a magical ride on a merry-go-round and some long romantic moments, all scored to lots of drippy pop songs.
Scott Speedman, who always looks like some slightly more famous actor the producers couldn't afford, is once again a bland place-holder, convincing neither as a rich kid nor a bad boy but remaining at least inoffensive.
Evan Rachel Wood, however, a better actress than this evidence might suggest, plays the troubled Daisy like a relentlessly sweet seven-year-old. It's as quickly grating as those bad old movies in which a 30-year old actress would put her hair in pigtails and pretend to be an adolescent.
There are one or two pros here, such as J.K. Simmons, whom it's always pleasant to see. But although eventually the improbabilities dissipate somewhat — Daisy isn't so much insane, it seems, as terminally sheltered — Jay's interest in this naive girl-child remains vaguely creepy, and the film ends quickly without ever really going anywhere.
It's also a little confusing, or at least disappointing, that filmmaker Andrew Fleming is in charge here. He directed the teen-witch movie "The Craft" back in the '90s, a better-than-it-needed to be horror film. And his "Hamlet 2" had a kind of politically-incorrect giddiness to it that brought occasional guilty smiles. You'd expect better from him than this.
But "Barefoot" — so named for the heroine's shoeless fixation — is strictly bare-bones moviemaking. And if this is the best this cast and crew can do, or get, at this point, perhaps they're the ones who need a rest cure.
Ratings note: The film contains violence, and some strong language.
'Barefoot' (PG-13) Roadside Attractions (89 min.)
Directed by Andrew Fleming. With Evan Rachel Wood, Scott Speedman. Now playing in New York.

Josef Wagner - Baritone/Bass
The musical training of the bass baritone Josef Wagner, born in Niederösterreich (Lower Austria), began in a boys choir, and with violin and piano lessons. After deciding for a career in voice, he studied at the University for Music and the Performing Arts in Vienna with Kurt Equiluz and Robert Holl. He has received important artistic incentives in master classes of Paul Esswood, Walter Berry and Christa Ludwig. His present teacher is Prof. Wicus Slabbert.
After his stage debut as Don Alfonso (Così fan tutte) and Dulcamara (Elisir d'amore) he became a member of the ensemble of the Vienna Volksoper in 2002. There he expanded his repertoire considerably and sang a.o. Figaro (Le Nozze di Figaro), Papageno (Zauberflöte) and recently with sensational success the title role in the Achim Freyer production of Don Giovanni. He still feels closely connected to this house.
In summer 2006, Josef Wagner gave his debut at the Salzburg Festival as Don Cassandro (La Finta Semplice). Since then he has been working as a freelance singer, performing e.g. Konrad Nachtigall (Die Meisteringer von Nürnberg) at Geneva Opera, Guglielmo at Opera Ireland and Papageno at Hyogo Performing Arts Center in Japan. Further engagements included appearances as Herkules in Anton Schweitzer's Alceste with Concerto Cologne under the baton of Michael Hofstetter; Lord Sidney (Viaggio a Reims) at Israeli Opera, Nick Shadow (The Rake's Progress) at Opera Nantes, Frank (Fledermaus) at Geneva Opera, Escamillo with Bavarian Radio Orchestra and in Tel Aviv, Eduard (Neues vom Tage by Hindemith) and Pantalone (Turandot by Busoni) at Dijon Opera, as well as Leporello and Publio (La Clemenza di Tito) in Marseille. He is also regularly guest at Opera Vlaanderen where he sang Don Alfonso, Ercole/Giove in Cavalli's Giasone, Assur (Semiramide) with Alberto Zedda conducting, Fra Melitone (La Forza del destino) and the title role in Don Giovanni.
At Deutsche Oper Berlin he participated in a concert version of "Le Vaisseau Fantôme" (by Pierre-Louis Dietsch). With great success he sang Jochanaan at Royal Opera Stockholm by Nina Stemme's side, Papageno at the Festival Aix-en-Provence as well as Golaud (Pelléas et Mélisande) at Deutsche Oper Berlin. In Toronto he had a big success as Figaro (Le Nozze di Figaro) in a production from Claus Guth.
Further projects include the Ruler (The Miracle of Heliane) at Deutsche Oper Berlin, Guglielmo at Marseille Opera. He will return to Volksoper Vienna with The Tales of Hoffmann and in the title role of Don Giovanni, and to Opera Vlaanderen as Papageno. He will sing the role of the Musiklehrer (Ariadne auf Naxos) at Opera Nancy and at the Festival of Aix-en-Provence and give his role debut as Eugene Onegin in Helsinki.
Josef Wagner is also greatly in demand as a concert singer, whose repertoire ranges from Baroque to contemporary pieces. He has performed under the conductors Ton Koopman, Dennis Russel Davies and Nikolaus Harnoncourt e.g. at Wiener Musikverein, Wiener Konzerthaus and the Festival of Ludwigsburg (Ludwigsburger Festspiele). He also often appears as a Lied singer, Die Winterreise and Die schöne Müllerin belonging to his favourite repertoire.Last updated: 18.08.2016
