NYIT Announces 2010 Captains, Schedule
from press releases
OLD WESTBURY, N.Y. -- NYIT men's lacrosse
head coach Bill Dunn has announced the appointment of the 2010 team
captains. The five student-athletes who were selected as captains
are seniors Matt Sullivan (West Islip, N.Y.), Kevin Hennessy (West
Babylon, N.Y.), Josh Kacpreazak (Rochester, N.Y.), Dan Quinn
(Shirley, N.Y.), and junior Bryan Gil (Holbrook, N.Y.) for the 2010
"Kevin Matt, Bryan, Dan and Josh all posses the necessary work ethic, character and leadership qualities that are staples to the Bears program," said Dunn. "They represent what an NYIT lacrosse player is all about. The team and our coaching staff could not be happier that these were the five student-athletes who were chosen by their teammates and coaches to represent the NYIT lacrosse program."
Hennessy returns from an injury that ended his season early last year. Over the past four years the former USILA LT. Donald McLaughlin Jr. Award winner has proven to be one of the most dominant players in NCAA Division II lacrosse. Sullivan has been the field general of the Bears offense for the past two seasons and had a career year in 2009. Gil was fifth on the team with 15 goals last season, and was a key cog in the midfield.
Kacpreazak and Quinn will anchor a Bears defense that is going to look to improve a man-down defense that ranked 17th in the country a year ago.
NYIT will kick-off the 2010 season on Feb. 13th against Limestone College at 1 p.m.
Dunn also announced the Bears' 2010 lacrosse schedule.
NYIT's schedule showcases seven home games, highlighted by
the annual Northern Boulevard rivalry game against the defending
NCAA Division II Champions, C.W. Post and conference rival
Mercyhurst College. The Bears non-conference schedule will have
Bentley, Florida Southern, Limestone, Seton Hill and St.
The Bears will kick off the regular season with a trip to Florida where they will take on Limestone on Feb. 13 in Orlando, and Florida Southern on Valentine's Day Feb. 14 in Lakeland.
With the expansion of the East Coast Conference to 11 teams in 2010, the Bears have five associate members added to the schedule. The conference slate will start on March 6 as NYIT hosts ECC newcomer Lake Erie College. Then on March 13 the Bears will travel to Philadelphia, Pa., for a contest against Chestnut Hill. The following week NYIT travels back to the Keystone State to play at Seton Hill on Saturday, March 20. NYIT will end its home campaign with Mercy College on April 24, then cap off the regular season at Wheeling Jesuit on May 8.

Setting the Mahmud
RSBS Special Correspondent and Podcast Schmegleschleimer, Mr. Johanna Mahmud reports:
In Memoriam. Hallelujah.
My favorite part of any award ceremony — be it the Oscars, Golden Globes, Emmys or Tonys — is the part where they celebrate those who passed on into the good night. As we wind down this great baseball season, Setting the Mahmud has prepared its own In Memoriam of sorts, to remember those who are no longer with us whilst honoring some of TV's greats!
Adam Dunn/Steve Landesberg
"Arrest the first naked guy you see with a dirty mouth."
His fate is yet to be determined. One of the most consistent players EVER was anything but this year. I wish all the best for my large bat wielding friend. Hope he can Lazarus himself mightily next season. (Also, Barney Miller is one of the most underrated shows of all time). How is Abe Vigoda still kickin it and Steve Landesberg just kicked it??
Jorge Posada/Peter Falk
"Well, it's better than a gallstone. Did ya ever have a gallstone ma'am?"
Surpassed defensively by Francisco Cervelli and out-hit by Russell Martin, this could very well be the end for Hip Hip Jorge!! And if it is, I think the YANKS will pull through. A $200 million payroll will do that for ya.
Miguel Tejada/Aaron Rowand/Bill Erwin
"What are those bums doing back there?! It's like watching a couple hyenas going through the garbage!!"
Designated for assignment for these cats. Rowand probably bashed his head into a wall too many times and Tejada is well… probably 50.
Johan Santana/Tom Bosley
Marion Cunningham: Richie just hasn't got the appetite that Chuck has.
Howard Cunningham: Marion, Argentina hasn't got the appetite that Chuck has.
A personal favorite of mine. His fantastic slider was a thing of GLORIOUSNESS.
And now, please enjoy the fine work of the Canadian Tenors! (Jeff Buckley won't mind. Trust me.) Oh, and tip one out for Uncle Frank.

College football and the NFL have both come back with a vengeance but for MLB, there really aren't any compelling races at this point. How can baseball compete?
Otsego, MI
Pardon my frankness here, Ryan, but…
No compelling races? How can baseball compete?
Put down that tequilla shooter (slowly) and check the boxscores before you miss out!
Because the time is NOW for September baseball and there is PLENTY to be excited about. Right now the AL East is as tight a race as they come, and believe me: the Yankees and Red Sox both want to win that division as each would rather draw the weaker opponent in the ALDS. Meanwhile, the AL Central is anything but locked down. Sure it might not be neck and neck, but if the Tigers have taught us anything in the last few years, it's that they definitely know how to blow a sure thing. And if you think the Rangers aren't worried about the creeping Angels of Los Anaheim, ya might wanna put down the vodka too (keep the whisky, for now).
In the National League, sure the East, Central and Wild Card races seem to be locked down, but the NL West is still undecided. The Diamondbacks are coming on strong but if the Giants can just average one run a game, with THAT pitching staff, they have a pretty good shot.
Now don't get me wrong, I love football just as much as any other
loud proud US American, but early season games being more important than the stretch baseball run? Not in my world. Not even close!
If you're not feelin' it, I gotta think that maybe it's your fault. Sit down and watch one of these games that matters. Or, don't. I mean, STRASMAS is comin' this year, so you could watch that! Or check out a Bluejays game to watch the Joey Bats and Brett Lawrie Show! Or get your buddies together for an Orioles game and every time they make an error, miss the cut-off man or fail to advance a runner TAKE A DRINK! You'll be so loaded by the third inning that your decision making skills will deteriorate to a level that will GUARANTEE a night of awesome once you hit the club.
Hate me 'cuz I promote promiscuous behavior while championing the greatest game on earth, just don't hate me 'cuz I'm right.

Tim Pawlenty is out of the race and Rick Perry is in. Bachmann wins the straw poll but is still bat-sh*t insane. If the Republican primary is a pennant race, who's your horse?
Annandale, MI
Metaphors are my friends, metaphors are my friends, metaphors are my friends.
If the Republican primary is a pennant race, then it must be in the Arena Football League because I am finding it quite difficult taking any of them seriously.
Michele Bachmann? Um… no.
Rick Perry? Um… also no.
Please note my severe reluctance to support any candidate who harbors a deep relationship with imaginary friends who tend to be bipolar, judgmental, homophobe racists.
Rick Santorum? Noooo.
Mitt Romney? Double noooo. Though I am still waiting for his endorsement of the Mormon Underwear website.
Newt Gingrich? Yikes! Now we're really gettin' into the thick of crazy!
Jimmy McMillan? Okay, now we've reached the bottom.
Thad McCotter? Cool name. Boring everything else.
Sorry, Paul… ya see, unlike picking an MLB winner, crawling through this web of same-ole-same-ole GOP crazies is a bit difficult. There is no Philadelphia Phillies lights-out candidate. There is no Yankee flyer. There is no Red Sox contender.
But, wait… there is… hmm… there is hope. And no, I'm not talking about the empty promise sounding "hope" dished out ad nauseum by the Obama campaign to dupe intellectual lefties like myself during the '08 race. No. Staying here, within the "Republican" party, there is… there is another.
But before I can declare my allegiance, I need to think on it. I need to think on it very, very carefully. While I do so, remember not to hate me (because I'm right) and please enjoy this informational video thoughtfully prepared by the RSBS interns:

Picturing the Evil Empire
We won the Cold War. There's no debating that. The Soviet Union split up, Germany was reunified and communism went the way of the Whigs and the Bull Moose. But sometimes it feels like we still lost. Like when you hear about Vladimir Putin's new personal photographer:
Sure, Vlad isn't a Soviet per se but it's pretty safe to say that he has a lot more in common with Stalin than he does with FDR. Although maybe not quite so much. The point is, the Russians may have lost the war but they seem to be winning the battle.
It's a little like the Red Sox and the Yankees. Sure, the Red Sox may have finally gotten by the Yankees to win that elusive World Series. They may have even succeeded in doing it again right afterwards. But they're never going to catch the Yankees. The Yankees are the Evil Empire just like Vlad and his boys are the heirs to the Soviet version.
So, what can we do? How can we fight back against a Russia that just keeps coming back like some totalitarian Freddy Krueger? Well, I think the first step is obvious. Obama needs to get a better looking photographer:
The rest will work itself out from there.
A Brief Pause for Insanity
If CNN's Alex Castellanos hadn't compared Michele Bachmann to Margaret Thatcher on CNN the other day, I wouldn't have said anything because the crazies, the Brits and the delusionoids have been saying as much for a while now. But when something that maniacal is aired to millions of susceptible US Americans, I can't help but holla some common sense back into the universe.
Comparing Bachmann to Thatcher is like comparing Wilson Betemit to Babe Ruth! Seriously! The only thing Michele Bachmann and Margaret Thatcher have in common is that they both have vaginas!
Bachmann is STUPID.
Bachmann is DELUSIONAL.
Bachmann is a HOMOPHOBE.
She is a clear and present danger to liberty and to even mention her name in the same conversation as Margaret Thatcher's (did you know she was a chemist by trade?) should be a crime.
And I just couldn't hold that in, so I didn't.
Don't hate me 'cuz I'm right.

I Can Haz an 11-Run Homer?
One reason why I'll never tire of my inanimate life partner (her name is baseball) is because every time I watch a game, I have the chance to see something I've never seen before. Or, as was the case Wednesday night at Sox Park, I might see 18 somethings I've never seen before.
The Yankees were in town. My buddy Mike had sweet tickets on the 100 level. And I was craving the sort of breeze only Adam Dunn's wiff-n-miss bat can provide.
It didn't take long for the game to get out of hand. In fact, the game STARTED with something I have NEVER seen before: back-to-back bunt basehits, thanks to Brett Gardner and Derek Jeter.
In fact, Jeter went 5 for 6 in the game, only the fourth time he has ever collected five hits in one game (the third being his epic 3K performance just last month) and yes, that's something I've never seen before.
I have also never seen a White Sox pitcher (Brian Bruney) enter a game, record ZERO outs, give up 2 hits and 2 earned runs and still not be the worst performer of the night. Like my buddy Mike said: "When you put Will Ohman in in the third, it's already a disaster."
And, of course, nothing spells disaster like the 2011 version of Adam Dunn.
But hark! Baseball games always offer something new; and I hadn't been to a Sox game all season where Adam Dunn didn't strike out at least once, BUT, lo and behold, Dunn went 1 for 4 with NO strikeouts! Hallelujah! Champagne for errrrrrrybody!
Dude still can't hit an 11-run homer though. At this moribund point, I'm thinking that might be the only thing that could save his career.
Happy Friday!

A bunch of teams are clustered right around .500 and above and no division is even close to being set at this point. Does this mean baseball is starting to reach parity?
Caledonia, MI
Beware, my friend. I sense… something. This… parity you speak of…
It's not real.
Just make-believe.
The truth is, the same old teams are still atop the same old divisions. The Yankees. The Red Sox. The Phillies. Okay, so the Mets and Dodgers may be out, but it's not their faults! They can blame poor ownership and mishandled funds!!!
I know that a quick glance at the standings may confuse the casual onlooker, that one could be easily misguided by the way the teams stack up. But let's face it: the NL and AL Centrals have been crapshoots for a decade, the NL West has been a contest in mediocrity for a long time. The Angels' dominance of the AL West was only usurped last year and in 2011 they have put themselves back in contention.
This is not parity. This is, like our US American social ladder, a classic case of 99% of the wealth being in the hands of 1% of the population and everyone else is left to fend for himself. The effect resembles something like parity. But it ain't.
It's pitching.
I really believe that the Mitchell Report and its subsequent juicy fallout has forced teams to go back to what always works: good pitching. With good pitching, you might have a decent shot at accumulating wins. The Giants are a perfect example of a team that gets by on minimal offense and middle-of-the-pack payroll. It's not the stuff of dynasties… but when it works, it works, and that's what teams are doing.
The Pirates are winning because of pitching (they can't hit). The Braves are winning because of pitching (they have a hard time scoring too). The Diamondbacks could always hit, but this year they have… PITCHING.
Great pitching is the best defense against great hitting. I didn't write that. Baseball wrote that.
When the Orioles and Blue Jays can compete in their own division… when the Nationals have a shot at the big boys in the NL East… that's when I'll consider parity's existence.
But right now that seems like something that could only be found in a galaxy far, far away.
Hate me. Fine. Just don't hate me 'cuz I'm right.

Since it's the start of the All-Star break, who's your All-Star so far this season?
Cicero, IL
First of all, major cap tip to ultimate All-Star, The Captain, Derek Jeter, a man who has been giving me goosebumps for 17 years and counting. Dude is a paragon of class, someone who always goes hard and who seems to have a natural knack for the dramatic.
Jeter is one of those duh, no kidding he's an All-Star sorta guys, the Pete Rose type, the kind of player you always expect to be an All-Star 'cuz that' s how he carries himself, on and off the field. But there's another type of All-Star, the kind who generally isn't included in the actual All-Star Game… they are the grinders, the 110% effort guys, the ones who find clean uniforms shameful.
When I was playing legion and high school ball, I was never the best on the team. I was short. I was skinny. I pretty much had zero tools… but I always went hard. Bruises, cuts, scrapes… I was tattooed with them. One day, after a particularly poor team performance, Coach said we needed to give more effort, to go harder. He said, "Lung has more energy in his pinky finger than the rest of you do as a team."
I never forgot that. And even though I didn't have the talent to be a starter, or to be successful at baseball at all, I did learn to walk pretty tall after that because everyone knew I gave it everything I had on every play.
Nyjer Morgan does that today.
Shocking, yes, I know, that I would praise the talents of a misfit who plays for a rival team. But have you ever watched Nyjer Morgan play baseball? That dude is fired up! And he plays helluh-hard! There is no let-up in his game and above all the homeruns, the no-hitters, the miraculous defensive plays in the field, I would rather watch nine Nyjer Morgans play against nine Nyjer Morgans than any of the aforementioned spectacles.
He may be odd, he may be hot headed and he may be just a few clicks shy of stupid, but Nyjer Morgan loves baseball like I love baseball, and he plays it in such a way that I can't ever take my eyes off him.
He's my undisputed off-the-radar All-Star.
Hate me, it's cool… just don't hate me 'cuz I'm right.

What is in this article?:
- TPPA cotton session covers key issues
- Back to basics
Bollworms, resistant weeds, harvest aids, root rot and varieties all received attention during the cotton breakout session at the 25th annual Texas Plant Protection Association Conference in Bryan,Texas, last week.
More About:
Paul Baumann, Extension weed specialist
Back to basics
Baumann offered other recommendations on effective weed control. "We can no longer wait until weeds get 12 inches to 14 inches tall before we treat. At that height, they are doing economic damage to the crop."
He advises farmers to use multiple modes (and sites) of action and to get back to traditional weed control systems, including pre-plant and pre-emerge herbicides. "We want to mix chemistries. It can be a challenge to put three or four herbicides on the crop, including pre-plant, post-emergence and all. That's a lot of money tied up in the crop. But have you looked at the cost—and availability—of hoe hands? Residual and knockdown activity keeps infestations in check. Properly incorporated trifluralin products are hard to beat."
He also advised growers to be alert for signs of weed resistance. "Watch for single plants that escaped control. Look for dead plants all around it. Also, check patches of escaped weeds surrounded by dead weeds."
Gary Schwarzlose, Bayer CropScience, said cotton harvest aid improvements through seed traits is "not likely." He also looks for no new products specifically designed as harvest aids. "But we should test everything, spray it on cotton and pay attention. Curiosity often leads to new discoveries. Consider the past; products that were designed for something else have been used for cotton harvest aids."
In fact, the first cotton harvest aid was discovered by accident in South Carolina back in 1938.
Schwarzlose reviewed the history of harvest aids and noted that the change from manual harvest to mechanical was the catalyst that led to widespread use. "When cotton was hand-picked, it took one person 100 hours to pick one bale of cotton," he said. Dropping leaves was not an issue and producers would pick several times as later bolls matured.
"With mechanization, we don't want green cotton and we want to go as fast as we can and as efficiently as possible." That's when defoliants and boll openers became useful tools.
One of the early desiccants was arsenic acid that was used primarily as a wood preservative. It's no longer available.
Tom Isakeit, Extension plant pathologist, offered an update on cotton root rot control. He says 1872 marked, "the earliest reference to root rot in cotton. They thought it was a soil chemistry problem. It was not."
For more than a century researchers looked for control measures to manage cotton root rot with virtually no success. "In 2005, we started screening new fungicide classes with a lot of grower support and an Extension-driven effort," Isakeit said. "We screened a lot of fungicides."
The effort finally paid off in a product initially selected to control Asian soybean rust, an anticipated catastrophe that never materialized. "In 2012 we received a Section 18 exemption for Topguard (flutriafol) and after 125 years of fighting the disease and a lot of ineffective treatments, we had a product that worked."
Farmers treated from 150,000 to 170,000 acres of cotton with Topguard in 2013, Isakeit said, "resulting in an estimated economic benefit of $8.5 million."
That advantage was limited to growers who had adequate moisture that would support disease development during the growing season. "Even if the fungicide was not completely effective in preventing the death of the plant, stalks tended to remain in the ground during harvest, making harvest easier and faster."
Isakeit said continuing efforts will include fine-tuning application methods and incorporating the fungicide into an integrated pest management (IPM) program that should include crop rotation. "We still need crop rotation to help deal with other stress factors," he said.
Current recommendation is a T-band, in-furrow spray application. "We want to protect the seed from direct contact with the fungicide."
He also noted that farmers who irrigate should not plant dry and then irrigate the crop up. Seedling vigor could be affected.
Topguard is manufactured by Cheminova and representatives present indicated they expect full registration in 2014.
Gaylon Morgan, Texas AgriLife State Extension cotton specialist, offered a brief look at Central and South Texas variety trials.
"Variety selection is one of the most important decisions a producer will make each year," Morgan said. That decision is made even more important, and perhaps more difficult, as new technology comes on line.
"In addition to determining yield and quality, variety selection will dictate management decisions and inputs for the entire season."
He says previous year's results from the Replicated Agronomic Cotton Evaluation (RACE) trials show the value of paying attention to data and making wise variety selections. "RACE trials have typically identified more than a 25 percent difference in yield between varieties (worst to best) at any given location. These yield differences will directly affect the profitability of the cotton crop."
He recommends growers choose multiple varieties each year, based on trial data. That data will offer information on yield across a number of locations over multiple years. http://cotton.tamu.edu.

Keegan Arnyek and Team Canada stunned the top-seeded Team USA for the gold medal.
The second seed avenged a gold medal loss from 2009 by stunning the host 23-17 in the gold medal game at the 2012 International Federation of American Football Under-19 World Championship at Burger Stadium in Austin, Texas.
In the gold medal game, Arnyek ran a kickoff back for 15 yards in addition to playing in the defensive backfield.
In the semifinal game against Japan on Wednesday, Canada intercepted five passes and ran off 16 unanswered points in the first half en route to a 33-24 win. Arnyek made his presence felt in this game by returning a kickoff return for 98 yards for a touchdown midway through the first quarter. He had another kick return for 15 yards, a punt return for five yards and an interception.

Home schooling is going "hybrid," reports Education Week. Parents mix and match their own lessons, online courses, community college classes, private classes, tutoring and even part-time studies at the local public school.
Baywood Learning Center in Oakland, Calif., a private school for gifted students . . . has a la carte classes on individual subjects once a week, as well as a multiage class that meets on Tuesdays and Thursdays to cover core academics. Director Grace Neufeld said demand for the latter has grown 50 percent in the last year, to about 40 students ages 4 to 17.
. . . "Parents usually design a patchwork quilt of different classes and activities for their children," she said. "What I see is they sign up for various classes being held in various locations like science centers or museums or different places. They also add things like music lessons, art lessons, sports, or martial arts."
Parents join together in co-ops to share teaching, such as the Inman Hybrid Home School program in Inman, Ga.
Founder Holly Longino, a former health teacher at Carver Middle School in Inman, left public teaching to home-school her four children, but last year started the group classes a few times a week with five students and a handful of retired public school teachers. The teachers provide video lectures for students to use as well as in-class projects.
More than 2 million students were homeschooled in 2010, nearly 4 percent of K-12 students, according to Homeschooling in America by Joseph Murphy, a Vanderbilt education professor. While most homeschoolers are conservative and religious, a growing number of moderate and liberal families are choosing to teach their own children, Murphy found. "Bullying and teaching practices, have now edged out religious values (31.2 percent to 29.8 percent) as the top reason parents teach their children at home."

Sound: Children of Bodom started in Finland in 1993 under the name Inearthed. After several unsuccessful demos they undertook the recording of their first full length album and caught the interest of Spinefarm Records, but changed their name to Children of Bodom to avoid legal entanglements with their previous label, Shiver Records. In subsequent releases the band had a tendency to tweak their sound, adding keyboard and different compositional elements, but having most often been associated with death metal or melodic death metal. In 1997, after opening for Dimmu Borgir, the band caught the attention of Nuclear Blast records which began their entrance to an international stage. Since then Children of Bodom have become a "household name" to the international metal community and have released numerous successful albums, including a cover album in 2009 called "Skeletons in the Closet." Their album, "Blooddrunk," released in 2008, is the one that caught my attention and I've listened to them since shortly after that release. The current lineup is Alexi Laiho on lead vocals and lead guitar, Roope Latvala on rhythm guitar and backing vocals, Henkka Seppala on bass guitar and backing vocals, Janne "Warman" Wirman on keyboards, and Jaska Raatikainen on drums and backing vocals. Alexi and Jaska are both founding members, and Roope is the newest addition having joined in 2003 after Alexander Kuoppala left because he said the touring lifestyle no longer worked for him."Halo of Blood" is Children of Bodom's eighth full-length studio album and contains 10 tracks, clocking in at just under 42 minutes. The overall mixing and production on the album is perfection, with driving bass and the guitars maintaining the essential rawness and power to convey the aggression of the songs. The drums are precise but still have an organic feel. The album opens with the track "Waste of Skin" with a riff syncopated with the drums that builds into an instantly classic CoB track. The title track, "Halo of Blood" comes in like 3 minutes of pure aggression from the first note until the last. "Transference" is one of the most melodic songs from the album and probably some of the most successful use of keyboards on the album. "Bodom Blue Moon (The Second Coming)" has a frenetic almost schizophrenic vibe to it and is well placed in the middle of the album, forcing you to lean forward and start listening fresh to the album. The track "Dead Man's Hand on You" is a great slow-burner type of track with a creepy feel and the most vocally dynamic. The album closes with "One Bottle and a Knee Deep," which is probably the most interesting track on the album for me, having a weird metal pirate shanty feel to it and also containing the most memorable guitar solo. // 9
Lyrics: Alexi Laiho has made small changes to his vocal style throughout his career, and with the release of "Halo of Blood" he periodically uses slightly cleaner vocals than he has on previous releases. He still uses death metal screams, but lets his vocals clean up occasionally. The rest of the band does a great job backing him up on vocals. In several places on the album they use "gang vocals" for parts of the lyrics. The lyrics to most of the album are loosely narrative while remaining abstract and pretty interesting, though it always takes me a couple of listens to pick all of them up. From the song "Transference," here are some of the loosely narrative but abstract lyrics I'm referring to: "Dragged in the light/ Like nothing was wrong/ Pulled towards where I don't belong/ I hear the fallen angels/ Sing my requiem/ Take a step/ Cross the line/ Have a thin/ Glance back and you're living in sin/ It hurts so bad/ Like a war within/ Looking at the blade/ Aiming at my eyes/ Staring to where the evil call my lies/ Keep a promise/ If you ever will/ Don't say a word/ Just kill, kill, kill!" // 8
Overall Impression: "Halo of Blood" was a fun album to listen to. There is a fair amount of variety on the album including some really interesting keyboard use to help make songs sound "epic." While Children of Bodom have been predominantly labeled as "melodic death metal" I've always thought of them more as thrash metal with elements of power metal and this album is a good argument for that, from my point of view. Really, the vocals are the main thing that give Children of Bodom that death metal label. My favorite tracks from the album are "Bodom Blue Moon (The Second Coming)," "Transference," "Dead Man's Hand on You," and "One Bottle and a Knee Deep." Overall, this album stacks up fairly well with their previous releases and I think it will be seen as one of their best releases, at least rivaling with "Blooddrunk," in my opinion. // 8

Sound: Children Of Bodom is an interesting band to me. They've written and released 8 albums now, have a solid following in their native Finland as well as in the U.S. and have one hell of a vocalist/guitarist in Alexi Laiho. Their sound seems to hit a certain sweet spot between other bands I like in and around Children Of Bodom's genre like In Flames or Amon Amarth. As my taste in metal music branches out, I seem to find myself drifting further away from the states and towards Europe, but that's another story. Children Of Bodom was introduced to me through Pandora with songs off of the album "Are You Dead Yet?" I was hooked, and went out to buy that record the same night. While I was very impressed with that release, and ended up buying "Relentless Reckless Forever," I can't say I was quite as thrilled with it, and was wondering if maybe the band was losing momentum since I discovered them pretty late in their discography. "Halo of Blood" has proved me wrong. Alexi displays strong examples of still being the master musician that he is by being able to write catchy guitar riffs and leads, write lyrics and being able to perform them live in front of capacity crowds. The more pronounced use of keyboards is a good touch I think, although I can't say I care much for the sound byte sampling between songs. It reminds me of a White Zombie / Rob Zombie record. I do actually like White Zombie, by the way, but I'm not sure if Alexi and the gang threw that in there for the heck of it or if they plan on doing this more in the future. It doesn't feel like it belongs to me. Overall though I'm quite pleased with the sound, barring the guitar tone which I'll speak out against despite any crap I might get from the people who comment down below. // 7
Lyrics: Constant references to "the blade" and "the bottle". Nothing wrong with telling a story about depression through alcohol and the desire to do some damage, but as this doesn't appear to be a concept album telling one continuous story, nor is it terribly interesting, I end up taking these lyrics at face value. They mostly mean what they mean as they are written. That being said, being a musician I make the sound my priority, and the quality of vocals hasn't seemed to change between albums. Alexi does a good job despite having to wear a lot of hats in the band; one of the reasons why I think he's a great musician. Even if people argue there are better guitarists, and better vocalists (which there are) you'll be hard pressed to find someone who does both of those jobs so well. A good cover song is always appreciated too ("Sleeping In My Car" by Roxette for those of you who don't have the bonus track version of the album). // 6
Overall Impression: As said earlier, I do prefer this to their last release "Relentless Reckless Forever." I don't think it's their best work to date, but the songs run into each other in a good way, not sounding as if a bunch of random songs that were recorded during different years with different mental states were simply thrown together on a disc. The album has a sense of cohesion, and that matters a lot to me. I would say that currently "Dead Man's Hand on You" and "Bodom Blue Moon" catch my interest the most currently, but favorite songs seem to change as time goes on with most albums I buy. I like the well written guitar and the layered vocals, though I can't say I love Alexi's guitar tone. I'd like to see a change there on the next album. I'd definitely get the album again because I'm a fan of the band, I have a bit of a collectors mentality, and most importantly I think overall the album was well done and I look forward to another release in the coming years. // 7

This miserable scene doesn't have to be our model for childbirth. Feminist theologian Carol Christ famously wrote, "Symbol systems cannot simply be rejected, they must be replaced. Where there is no replacement, the mind will revert to familiar structures at times of crisis, bafflement, or defeat." So we need to turn off the tv and nurture different models that better help us to tell our stories and prepare for the births we want to experience.
Instead of watching dramatic tv narratives, one symbol many people turn to for inspiration is the labyrinth. Labyrinths come in many forms, but generally they are curving single pathways, with no tricky wrong turns like mazes have.
I like to think about the labyrinth as a map for the entire childbearing year. The pathway from gate to center is the pregnancy; the space of the center is the birth; and the pathway back out from the center is the postpartum period. Because in a meditative labyrinth walk we turn at the center of a labyrinth to walk the same ground out that we travelled in, the labyrinth allows us to encounter ourselves the same, yet changed by birth.
This model I use offers many lessons, but it's not the only way of using a labyrinth in pregnancy. In San Francisco for several years, midwives have been hosting monthly labyrinth walks at the stunning Grace Cathedral labyrinths. Pregnant women assemble and walk silently together, weaving in and out of the labyrinth's twists and turns.
When I walked with them during my second pregnancy I gained several personal insights. With my feet firmly on the labyrinth's sacred ground I gained a new appreciation for the particular place in the world where my baby would be born. Walking in community also enabled me to share wisdom and loving support with others on the path.
Pam England, who developed the popular Birthing from Within system of childbirth preparation, also likes to use labyrinths with pregnant women. She sees the labyrinth as a map for labor and birth, and a better symbol than the ones provided by hospital medicine. In her book Labyrinth of Birth, she writes, "the meandering labyrinth offers a superior alternative to explaining labor in terms of 'stages of labor.' The convoluted pathway more accurately portrays a mother's inner experience of labor and postpartum than does the straight line of a labor graph." Her book offers easy-to-follow instructions for anyone wanting to make and use a variety of labyrinths during pregnancy.
These are a few examples of people meditating on the labyrinth symbol to prepare for birth, but they are far from the only ones. If you open to its wisdom, the labyrinth may whisper new and different stories to you. Which way does your path lead?

China's most politically explosive trial wrapped in a matter of hours when Gu Kailai, the wife of Chinese politician Bo Xilai, did not object to murder charges against her. ITV's Angus Walker reports.
HEFEI, China -- China pressed ahead Friday with an offensive against ousted politician Bo Xilai, a day after the murder trial of his wife, with a separate prosecution of four police officers accused of trying to cover up the killing that she allegedly carried out.
The dismissed officers went on trial for "bending the law to show favoritism" by shielding Bo's wife, Gu Kailai, from an inquiry into the death of Briton Neil Heywood.
Gu stood trial for poisoning the businessman over a financial transaction that went sour, according to a court statement. She did not dispute the murder charge during Thursday's seven-hour, closed-door trial hearing and a verdict will soon be delivered, the statement said.
Heywood's death in November and its alleged cover-up in Bo's stronghold of Chongqing, the southwestern municipality he ran, was central to the torrent of events that toppled him from the upper echelons of Chinese political power and exposed the ruling Communist Party to its worst upheaval in decades.
Legal noose tightens
Bo was one of China's most powerful and charismatic politicians until he was ousted.
The legal noose is tightening fast on Bo's wife and police involved in investigating the murder case, suggesting there is a danger Bo could himself face charges of masterminding a cover-up and could risk a lengthy jail term.
Corruption may be widespread in China, but one official crossed a line when he wiretapped President Hu Jintau. Now that official's wife is a murder suspect. NBC's Andrea Mitchell reports.
The South China Morning Post said Friday that Bo's former Chongqing police chief, Wang Lijun, would stand trial as early as next week in the southwestern city of Chengdu. Wang sought temporary refuge in Chengdu's U.S. consulate in February after sources told Reuters that he told Bo that Gu was a murder suspect.
Wang's dramatic flight to the U.S. mission triggered the murder scandal that quickly led to Bo's downfall. Until then, Heywood's death had been officially attributed to a possible heart attack brought on by excessive alcohol consumption.
Chinese media stuck to the terse official account of Gu's trial on Friday, despite avid public interest in this scandal that has exposed the fusion of wealth and privilege in China's political elite, and exposed rifts in the party.
Bo, 63, has not been a focus of the proceedings so far. But most experts believe the trial and almost certain conviction of his wife Gu and the four police officers is a prelude to his punishment, which could include a criminal trial.
This photo shows Bo Xilai, British businessman Neil Heywood and Bo's wife Gu Kailai.
Little delay likely in announcing verdict
The court in the eastern Chinese city Hefei did not say when it would announce any verdict against Gu. But the usual wait was about two weeks, Chen Guangwu, a criminal defense attorney who has followed the Chongqing scandal closely, told Reuters.
"But they won't delay for too long, because this case is being heard in order to pave the way for dealing with Bo Xilai himself," said Chen, who is based in eastern Shandong province.
"This case is in part about testing the waters for that. That is, they will sentence her and see what reaction there is in society and public opinion," he said.
Wife of ousted China politician charged with Briton's murder
Bo's downfall has stirred more public division than that of any other party leader for more than 30 years. To leftist supporters, Bo became a rallying figure for efforts to reimpose party control over dizzying and unequal market growth. To liberal critics, Bo was a dangerous opportunist who yearned to impose his harsh policies on the entire country.
As the four police officers went on trial, also in Hefei, Chinese authorities cordoned off the courthouse and excluded foreign reporters from the hearing. Vans parked nearby were bristling with video surveillance equipment.
A court spokeswoman said the case would begin at 8:30 a.m. (7:30 p.m. ET Thursday). "It's open to the public but I'm afraid all the places are full at this time," she said, according to Reuters.
China's Communist party unleashes its full weight against former politician Bo Xilai and his wife over a murder scandal. ITN's Angus Walker reports from Beijing.
It was unclear whether the case began as scheduled.
The four men on trial -- Guo Weiguo, Li Yang, Wang Pengfei and Wang Zhi -- were senior police officers in Chongqing who allegedly sought to stymie an investigation into Heywood's death in a hilltop hotel villa overlooking Chongqing.
On Thursday, a court official said prosecutors believed Bo's wife, Gu, and a family aide, Zhang Xiaojun, killed Heywood by pouring poison down his throat after a business dispute led Gu to believe Heywood had threatened her son, Bo Guagua, then a student at Harvard University.
NYT: Increasingly outspoken military alarms China's leaders
During Gu's seven-hour hearing on Thursday, it was alleged Heywood had written a letter to Guagua, threatening to "destroy" him, a source who had been briefed on the hearing told Reuters. Heywood and Guagua had fallen into dispute over Heywood's demand for a fee to help arrange a $200 million financial transaction, the source told Reuters.
In what's being called the biggest Chinese political scandal in years, Bo Xilai, the Communist Party secretary in Chongqing, was sacked Thursday. NBC's Ed Flanagan reports.
Guagua, believed to be in the United States after graduating this year from Harvard University, denied there was such a deal of that value but appeared to confirm the letter's existence.
"I cannot comment on any of the details (of the letter), but I can disclose that there is no such thing as either possessing or transferring" $200 million, Guagua wrote in an e-mail sent to Reuters.
Scandal sends China's netizens into feeding frenzy
Political infighting
The scandal has drawn attention to political infighting that China prefers to keep secret and comes at a time when the government is preparing for a once-a-decade political transition — at the 18th party congress later this year, where it will install a new generation of leaders.
More China coverage from NBCNews.com's Behind The Wall
Bo, the son of a revolutionary veteran, was once a contender for one of those top jobs. But his overt maneuvering to reach the highest echelons of the Communist Party angered some leaders, as did his bombastic campaigns to bust organized crime and promote communist culture while trampling civil liberties and reviving memories of the chaotic Cultural Revolution.
Bo is in the hands of the party's internal discipline and inspection commission, which is expected to issue a statement about his infractions. That would open the way for a court trial with charges possibly including obstructing police work and abuse of power. Thus far, Bo has been accused only of grievous but unspecified rules violations.

7 Questions with Yifang
As we bid farewell to 2011, we're also saying goodbye to one of our own! We'll miss you loads Yi Fang!
Introduce yourself.
Hello! I'm currently working with Zouk as the Assistant Business Development & Events Manager. I think I'm part Jekyll & part Hyde on the job usually… But more often Jekyll than Hyde unless provoked!
Describe a working day at Zouk.
Mad crazy! Am either at my desk answering event and sponsorship enquiries, crafting partnership proposals, assisting with marketing ideas, or am at the club conducting site recces with event clients. Occasionally, we also deal with panic attacks due to missing table cloths that are meant for reception tables (yes, they go mysteriously missing on some days), coupled with screaming clients. We also do mundane stuff like invoicing. Yea, don't think that the vibrant nightlife scene is all about partying eh!
How has it been like?
Busy but extremely fulfilling. I have learnt so much in my past 1.5 years here, especially in the aspects of partnerships & sponsorships. And I have also made some really good friends here that it makes me sad to leave.
Something about Zouk that you will never forget.
The colleagues – They truly made me feel like family. From the Marketing & Business Development team to the Art dept, Operations, Front Office, Security, Maintenance (Tech) all the way to Housekeeping, everyone has been very helpful and "on the ball" so events and campaigns run smoothly. Even when problems occur, instead of finger-pointing which is very common in many companies, everyone works together to come up with solutions quickly.
What or who have been most inspiring?
Non other than the founder himself – Lincoln Cheng! I see clear dedication from him. Even after 20 years, he is still in the club on every operational night, and always on the lookout to improve the entire party experience with new equipment – lights, sound, visual effects, or furniture, to ensure the club stays relevant to not just the regulars but the new generation of partygoers as well.
Your favourite drink?
Sour plum shots – they are deceptively strong.
Last words?
One World, One Music, One Tribe, One Dance
3 sayings you live by?
1. "Carpe diem" (have yet to tattoo that but it's in the works). Always important to seize the day and live life to the fullest everyday as you never know what might happen tomorrow.
2. "We need to have passion in everything we do." Without passion, everything would be a chore and I don't see a point in putting yourself through misery, so why do something if you aren't passionate about it?
3. "Your other half has to be your best friend." I believe the best lovers are the best of friends. The other person needs to have been through all your ups and downs in order to be your (better) other half.

By Ryan Lengerich
The search for a Clovis schools superintendent is officially under way.
Monday was the first day Clovis school officials accepted applications to replace former Superintendent Neil Nuttall.
The board will take applications through Feb. 28.
No applications were received on Monday, but Assistant Superintendent for Personnel Jim McDaniel said that's not a concern.
"The people who vie for superintendent generally don't do it in a mad rush," he said. "People find out about it but then spend some time looking into it."
McDaniel is in charge of spreading the word throughout the state, region and nation about the district's vacancy. He began with the district's Web site before sending notices to the New Mexico Coalition of School Administrators, the New Mexico School Board Association and various universities in the area.
On a popular education placement Web site, the description is posted and demands a person "capable of leading a staff and community in a continuous program of school improvement."
Board member Lora Harlan, who has been through three superintendent selections, said the opening will likely be seen throughout the nation but applicants generally come from the Southwest.
"It would be easier for a person in a neighboring state to look at how the legislative process works as far as the schools are concerned," Harlan said.
She said it is possible the district could get about 20 applicants.
The district will hold a school board election Feb. 1 for two districts. District 2 position incumbent Lola Bryant is being challenged by Rube Render. In District 1, five candidates will vie for the position held by Ken Merritt, who is not seeking re-election after 16 years.
Harlan said the school board election might play a factor in who applies for the position.
"They will kind of wait until the election and see what the dynamic of the board is," she said.
Nuttall left Clovis after seven years to become president at a Missouri junior college. The board selected long-time educator G.C. Ross as interim superintendent in November. He will serve through June 30.
The board will announce five finalists for the permanent position in March and make the selection in June.

Refrain: Come unto Me, I will give you rest; Take My yoke upon you, hear Me and be blest; I am meek and lowly, come and trust My might; Come, My yoke is easy, and My burden's light. Are you disappointed, wand'ring here and there, Dragging chains of doubt and loaded down with care? Do unholy feelings struggle in your breast? Bring your case to Jesus—He will give you rest. Stumbling on the mountains dark with sin and shame, Stumbling toward the pit of hell's consuming flame; By the pow'rs of sin deluded and oppressed, Hear the tender Shepherd, "Come to Me and rest." Have you by temptation often conquered been, Has a sense of weakness brought distress within? Christ will sanctify you, if you'll claim His best; In the Holy Spirit, He will give you rest.

RUSH: Okay, Paula Broadwell. Two things. A piece by Allison Yarrow. This is in The Daily Beast: "A Scarlet Letter -- the Monica Lewinsky-ing of Paula Broadwell. When powerful men stray, the press continues to ogle, and shame, the women they do it with, writes Allison Yarrow. The more things change: One of the world's most powerful men stepped out on his marriage, yet much of the public attention and opprobrium has focused on the far-less-powerful woman who was drawn to him, media critics and other observers charged Tuesday -- with several comparing the coverage of CIA Director David Petraeus and Paula Broadwell to that of President Bill Clinton and Monica Lewinsky. Much of the coverage of Broadwell gives 'the impression that she's the bad woman, the slut, manipulative and conniving, a climber.'"
This woman, she's upset. Allison Yarrow is upset that this is how, in certain quarters, Broadwell is being portrayed. Now, Snerdley loves stories involving sex and women. Have you seen this? Have you seen a lot of stories characterizing Broadwell as the bad woman, manipulating, conniving, taking advantage of the powerful guy, social climber? So you are seeing those stories? Okay, okay.
"Almost none of the coverage of the scandal involving both Petraeus and John Allen has connected the behavior of two of the military's most decorated leaders with the wave of sexual assault and harassment scandals that has plagued the U.S. military." These guys are getting a pass. Okay, they had an affair. That's what happens in the military. They get assigned overseas, they're called geographical bachelors. It's expected. I just shared that piece with you.
"Instead, much of the coverage has focused on Broadwell's fashion sense, and the tone of her arms." By the way, that happens to be true. She was on Imus promoting her book and Imus said, "You know, your arms look like my wife's arms, you work out a lot? I really like your arms." She said, "Can we get back to the book?" So she took it back, but she enjoyed it, appeared to enjoyed it. "'She favored sleeveless outfits that showed off toned, muscular arms,' reported her hometown Charlotte Observer. Unnamed Petraeus aides called her 'immune to the notion of modesty.'"
You want to talk about a highbrow insult. Unnamed Petraeus aides are telling people in the media that she is immune to the notion of modesty? This was in Afghanistan. They were saying of her in Afghanistan she was immune to the -- for those of you in Rio Linda, what this means is, she was all over the guy and didn't care who saw it and didn't care what anybody thought.
"She spent time with Petraeus there while writing his biography and --" Oh, the writer here also says there are criticisms of how she's not a historian, she's not a Ph.D., she's not an accomplished writer. So this woman, Allison Yarrow, she's upset because Broadwell's being portrayed as a floozie. But now there's another side. Kyra Phillips, infobabe, anchorette at CNN, who, by the way, is married to John Roberts at Fox. Kyra Phillips knows Petraeus and apparently has talked to Petraeus recently. And this morning on Headline News Morning Express with Robin Meade, Kyra Phillips reported on Petraeus since his resignation.
PHILLIPS: He's taking it really hard. He knows he made a big mistake and he does want to move forward, making things work with his family. He doesn't want to throw 37 years out the window with his wife. I have never known him to be a flirtatious person. I have never known him to be inappropriate. And I think that was why this was so shocking on many levels. I think it's important that we need to hear from Paula Broadwell. We still have not heard from her. I do know that people within his inner circle have described her to be an aggressive woman, someone who, quote, unquote, works her magic.
RUSH: Well! Well! You heard that. It's important to hear from Broadwell. We haven't heard from her. I know that people within his inner circle described her to be aggressive. And then back to Allison Yarrow. "It is said that she is immune to the notion of modesty." Petraeus' people, I'll tell you what, they're doing the Bill Clinton here, a modified Clinton. Drag a dollar bill through a trailer park and what do you end up with? Paula Jones. So now Petraeus is this mild-mannered, innocent victim, minding his own business, and this aggressive female came along and worked her magic on him.
Two women, two totally different views. One, long knives are out for Broadwell, and the other woman, the long knives are out for society in general. The Official Program Observer, Mr. Snerdley, is asking if it's permissible to admit that men are in fact susceptible to such magic. What word would you use besides magic to convey what was happening here? 'Cause they don't really mean magic. She seduced him. Of course men are susceptible to seduction. Some are immune to it, but some are not. Yeah, of course that happens, but the bottom line, that's not what this is about. What this is about is a female infobabe on CNN trashing Broadwell? And another woman, Allison Yarrow, she is all angry at society for looking at Broadwell this way.
Folks, I don't care what camp you're in, but if you want to see where this treatment began, just go look at how Bill Clinton dealt with the bimbos. What did they do? They trashed every one of those women. They trashed 'em from Gennifer Flowers to Kathleen Willey to Juanita Broaddrick to Paula Jones to Monica, and those that we didn't know. That's how they did it. And who are they? That's your hero, that's your Bill Clinton, from your enlightened, tolerant, compassionate Democrat Party. That's who's teaching these lessons.
RUSH: Folks what's happening with Broadwell here, this is not a War on Women. No, no, it's not a War on Women, because the Democrats are trashing her. You got a Democrat media babe. You got obviously a liberal writer here at the Daily Beast. So what they're doing to Broadwell, that's not a War on Women. If it were during the campaign, but even then, no, it's not a War on Women.

2002 Toyota Celica Hatchback GT 2dr Hatchback (1.8L 4cyl 5M)
I have had my 02 Celica GT 5speed since February 2013 and have had it on some long trips. Drove it from Upper Michigan to South west colorado and back. Even in the mountains i was maintaining over 30 mpg. While in the mountains at about 32 to 33 once we got to the flats i was between 36 and 37 mpg. For a car that sits so low to the ground and is light it rides very well sometimes I think it rides smother than my lifted Tundra. Haven't been able to really test how well it does in snow to much as winter was winding down when i first got it but I can say that it does handle slippery roads very well. With not having any traction control or abs just make sure you know how to operate thus said.
Have not done any improvement would like to put a cold air intake on it.
My 2002 Toyota Celica gts hatchback has been extremely reliable and I have bought celicas since 1977. I am sad to say I will not be buying any more toyotas because they delayed so long in telling people about the accelerator problems. As a matter of principal, this is my last toyota.
Pick up is very good for such a small engine. Great gas mileage.
I would like to have seen better visibility out back window.
I bought my 2002 new and have 190,000 miles on it. I just returned from a seven week 9400 mile road trip. My guitar, my golf clubs, my clothes with room for a passenger. This is one of those amazing cars like the old Honda Civic Hatchback that do so many things well. On top of that, this design was over the top for a $20K sports car. I hope you all recall the great commercials implying that the car looked like it was going 60 while standing still. Since Toyota sold nearly as many of these as Mitsubishi did of their Eclipse I still don't understand the move to discontinue it. Let's face it, the MR2 may have been a performer but one could never travel in it with more than a carry-on.
Without a doubt, the exterior styling was and is still so much more than you could expect for a car in this price range. The competition, (Eclipse, Tiburon) doesn't hold a candle. The Z is as pretty but pricier and no room. My Celica will go to my grandson when I find a nice low miles 2005.
I'm 5'-10" so just bring it back without any changes.
We bought this car when me and my wife got married with 30,000 miles, the mileage now is 125,000. Since then we never had a single problem all we did its an oil change that's all, it is a wonderful car maintenance wise super reliable and awesome fuel economy, lots of trunk space unusual for the car its size. The things we are not so happy are the rear seats, lack of space even for kids, Horrible cup holder location and blind spots in the rear. Nice car definitely not family car.
Fuel economy, reliability, reliability, reliability, exterior, interior design, Toyota.
Relocate cup holder, stiffer suspension, more torque.
I have had this car since it was brand new and it now has almost 150,000 miles. The only things I have had to replace besides the scheduled maintenance is the mass air flow and the catalytic converter. It still has the original brakes and battery! It is nice to have such a reliable car.

O.K. so what are you giving us to work with ?
I believe to have found solution for Olbers' paradox. Treatment originally used to discard inverse square law as the solution was not set up correctly, and if we include sensor surface area in the treatment and model light as photons the result describes what we actually see.
I would like to confirm this, but people on Astronomy/Cosmology forums are not receptive to even discuss it as it seems that would somehow contradict what is written in their text-books, which is what brings me here. Prove me right, prove me wrong, I don't care, just wanna know the truth.
I suspect this is "spam" of a sort. A few years ago I was looking for chat sites on special relativity. I answered a post that caused me more than a month of wasted time explaining to him that a theory did not have to be "simple" in order to be correct. That and other numerous reasons why his logic was faulty. (I'm a bit of a masochist when it comes to taking on a project. I should have ditched him almost immediately.)
So I challenge you, abaraba, to explain yourself fully. Obler's Paradox (note where the apostrophe is!) was solved at the beginning of the last century or earlier, either by the Standard Model or the Steady State Theory of the Universe (which gives a similar result). Let's see what new ideas you have.
By the way, please post in the correct forum. This really belongs in the Advanced Math Topics, being a Physics question.
Olbers' paradox - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
- The paradox is that a static, infinitely old universe with an infinite number of stars distributed in an infinitely large space would be bright rather than dark. To show this, we divide the universe into a series of concentric shells, 1 light year thick (say). Thus, a certain number of stars will be in the shell 1,000,000,000 to 1,000,000,001 light years away, say. If the universe ishomogeneous at a large scale, then there would be four times as many stars in a second shell between 2,000,000,000 to 2,000,000,001 light years away. However, the second shell is twice as far away, so each star in it would appear four times dimmer than the first shell. Thus the total light received from the second shell is the same as the total light received from the first shell. Thus each shell of a given thickness will produce the same net amount of light regardless of how far away it is. That is, the light of each shell adds to the total amount. Thus the more shells, the more light. And with infinitely many shells there would be a bright night sky.
In math language it goes like this (Olbers' Paradox):
Since the area of a sphere of radius r is
A = 4p r2 (1)
the volume of such a shell is
V = 4p r2t (2)
If the density of each of the luminous objects within the shell is "n", then the total number of these objects in the shell must be
N = 4p r2nt (3)
Now let us ask just what amount of energy such a shell will send to the Earth. Since the shell's thickness is small, it is reasonable to assume that the entire shell is at a distance "r" from the earth. The energy, E, emitted by any source at distance r, produces an intensity, "I", over a given area, A, on the Earth of (inverse square law)
I = E/4p r2 (4)
The total intensity received on the Earth from all the sources in the shell r units away must then be the intensity produced by each source times the total number of sources or
Substituting the value of N previously calculated into the above, we find that
T = tnE (6)
We notice at once that the total energy received from any chosen shell does not depend upon its distance from us (no r in the above equation). The total energy received from all the shells is the sum of the contributions of each shell. If there are M shells this total is
S = tnEM (7)
But there is an infinite number of shells and so the total intensity on the earth must be infinite. Therefore, the nighttime sky should be blindingly bright!
What I'm saying is that they are completely ignoring sensor surface area, that is some 2-dimensional image that is receiving this light, like a photo or human eyes, and by ignoring that they get result as if the image has only one pixel. So instead of to "see" many dots, some bright some less bright, they practically sum all the received intensity in only one pixel and thus result wrongly indicates the sky is bright.
They also ignored exposure time. The rate of incoming photons is proportional to distance, due to inverse square law, which is known and accepted fact, that's why very distant stars do not produce any dots on a photo-plate unless we wait long enough, and just looking at this fact makes it clear to me that inverse square law explains it all, but people in Astronomy/Cosmology field prefer expanding universe solution and are very defensive about it. I don't even think "my" solution would contradict expanding universe theory so I have no idea why are they so much opposed to even consider it.
Let me explain with an example. Two stars at distance r would impact photo-plate with intensity I, and four stars at double the distance will also impact photo-plate with the same intensity I. That's what they are saying, and that's true. However, what they are not considering is that two closer stars will produce two dots each with brightens I/2, but four further stars will produce four dots each with brightness I/4.
There is a difference between two bright spots and four less bright dots of course, and there is difference between two dots on 10x10 resolution image and 1x1 resolution image. So when they ignore this sensor surface area they practically work with 1x1 resolution image where all the intensity gets summed up at one pixel, and of course all they see is "bright sky". To summarize I draw this conclusion: at infinite distance there will be infinite number of stars and if we had infinite resolution they would produce infinite number of dots, but the brightness of each dot would be I/infinity, which is pretty much nothing but black.
Hope that makes sense. If not, let me know and I'll rephrase.
That a simplified explanation is often given for the benefit of the lay person does not mean that the knowledgeable use that particular model.
Olbers' paradox may be summarised as: Some assumptions about the nature of the universe => a conclusion that is false.
As the conclusion is false one or more of the assumptions must be false. A couple we know to be false are: The Universe is not infinitely old, nor is the observable Universe infinite in extent. Without knowing the detail of how expansion effects the integrated light intensity at the eye or how the space density of stars/galaxies varies with distance/look-back time ... , these are sufficient to remove the paradox.
Olbers' paradox is a question: why is the night sky dark?Olbers' paradox may be summarised as: Some assumptions about the nature of the universe => a conclusion that is false.
A question is not a paradox, what is paradoxical is the standard proposed argument that the night sky cannot be dark. And that paradox is overturned by the observation that because the conclusion is false one or more of the premises are false.Olbers' paradox is a question: why is the night sky dark?
The plain question "Why is the night sky dark?" has the answer: "It is not dark, but it is darker than the photosphere of the Sun". Explaining why it has the brightness it does have is a question for Astrophysics, which it answers in a reasonably satisfactory manner.
What are you trying to say? What are you referring to?(Also in the standard argument that goes with Olbers' paradox you cannot resolve the spaces between the stars with a finite aperture.)

'Girls' Talk: "Free Snacks"Britt Hayes February 10, 2014 @ 2:53 PM
Welcome back to "'Girls' Talk," where we at ScreenCrush are joined by critics each week to discuss the latest episode of the HBO series. In this week's episode, Hannah is seduced by the free perks of her new job but finds that gainful employment has its downsides, as well. Meanwhile, Marnie and Ray continue to connect on a personal level, and Shoshanna attempts to put her life in order, while Jessa seems to be flourishing at her new job.

The NFL Scouting Combine has come to an end, and it is time to see how the combine affected the stock of all of the top prospects.
Cam Newton impressed scouts with his athleticism but overthrew receivers. Julio Jones ran a very fast 40-yard dash on a broken foot and Stephen Paea "won" the bench press, lifting 225 lbs. 49 times.
Robert Quinn didn't blow anyone away but he was not bad.
We are undertaking a three-round mock here, so strap yourselves in as I prognosticate not only the first round, but where players may fall in the following two rounds.
You may not agree with all my choices, so remember this mock draft is for entertainment purposes only and is based on my best guess of what the teams actually will do.

Mark Sanchez better hope this isn't foreshadowing for the rest of his season.
The man famous for the "Butt Fumble" didn't get his 2013 season off to a good start, as his first drive resulted in a pick-six by Detroit Lions rookie Ezekiel Ansah.
Sanchez hasn't been known for his accuracy, but it's still uncertain whether he'll be under center at the start of the 2013 season.
Rookie Geno Smith out of West Virginia left with a right ankle injury in the third quarter, and luckily X-rays came back negative.
