For reasons that are not immediately apparent, the girl with the vodka tonic is taking pictures of the actress on the Embassy Row TV monitor, even though the real thing is, at this very moment, perched on a chair inside the studio that lies just on the other side of the wall. Every time she captures a shot with her iPhone, the girl glances at the palmed screen, and in the owl-inflected argot of her generation, lets out a little "Woot!" before walking over to show the latest photo to her two equally excitable friends.
It's the Tuesday before Memorial Day weekend and we're standing in the cramped control room of the Bravo chat show Watch What Happens Live, which is hosted by Andy Cohen, a St. Louisan who is perhaps the only surviving member of Generation X who can get away with tossing out the occasional "Woot!" of his own. The actress in question is Elisabeth Moss from AMC's Mad Men; seated alongside her is Arrested Development's mad matriarch, Jessica Walter.
What's happening is, Cohen has Moss (for the uninitiated, she plays Peggy Olson on Matt Weiner's celebrated angst-athon) on the hot seat for his "Plead the Fifth" segment, in which he grills guests with a series of questions that are only slightly less puerile than George Wayne's Vanity Fair Q&As. Which is to say, he makes more sponsor-friendly inquiries into the state of other people's genitals and, in this case at least, the intestinal fortitude of a certain widely reviled actor.
The deal with "Plead the Fifth" is that you can choose to not answer one of the three questions Cohen serves up, although no one ever seems to exercise the option. After the inevitable anatomical query about Moss' co-star Jon Hamm and a softball about the Mad Men cast's collective enthusiasm for booze, Cohen serves up a big, fat meatball: "What, besides eating too much sushi, caused Jeremy Piven to leave Speed-the-Plow?"
Moss tears the cover off the ball. "That's a good one, that's a very good one. I could go on and on," she laughs, before sending the horsehide over the right-field porch of Cohen's beloved Busch Stadium. "Being highly unprofessional."
The audience hoots as Moss watches the ball sail into the upper deck. "It came out of nowhere," she says. "He just didn't come back one day. I saw him, like, a month later at the Golden Globes when he was supposed to be really sick."
Sure, the incident in question occurred in 2008 and Piven later was absolved of a breach-of-contract suit by a professional arbiter, but Moss delivered the sort of riposte that seemed almost destined to go as viral as H1N1. The crowd goes wild.
Grinning as if Chelsea had just gone up 1-0 on Arsenal at Stamford Bridge, Michael Davies, the Englishman who runs Embassy Row and is the presiding genius who produces WWHL and dozens of other programs, appears delighted with what he sees. "This is as pure as television gets," Davies says as the show slips into a commercial break.
Maintaining Momentum
If Watch What Happens Live is more or less the flagship program of Embassy Row (the show is telecast from the company's office in not quite Tribeca, aka Hudson Square), it only represents a small fraction of Davies' pop-culture obsessions. Take zombies, for instance. (As a fan of the England national football team, is it any wonder that Davies enjoys watching ambulatory corpses staggering around the countryside?) After closing out its second season on AMC in front of a broadcast-busting 5.16 million viewers and a 2.6 in the adults 18-49 demo, Talking Dead now stands as Embassy Row's highest-rated series. A geeked-out post-mortem of TV's top-rated scripted series, The Walking Dead, the Chris Hardwick-helmed gabfest earns a higher CPM than everything in its competitive set.
While WWHL and Talking Dead may be Nielsen outliers—since the year began, Cohen's 11 p.m. show is beating all comers in delivery of women 18-49 and 25-54 demos, including E!'s Chelsea Lately, Comedy Central's The Daily Show and TBS' Conan—Davies isn't at all interested in coasting. In the past two weeks, Embassy Row, which is owned by Sony Pictures Television, has launched a pair of new series: the live chatter show Style Pop on NBCUniversal's Style network and the personality-driven Sunday night interview show Stroumboulopoulos on CNN.
That said, perhaps the most anticipated new series in Embassy Row history may well be the special one-off sidecar that's meant to ride alongside the final eight episodes of AMC's Breaking Bad. Davies had but one host in mind when he pitched AMC on Talking Bad, and while the contracts have yet to be signed, he's confident that Chris Hardwick will be present and accounted for when the show bows on Aug. 11. "We heavily intend for Chris to do Talking Bad," Davies says. "We are having conversations with no one else."
Another major opportunity for Embassy Row will reunite Davies with his old partner in crime, Regis Francis Xavier Philbin. The two first worked together when Davies served as executive producer of ABC's Who Wants to Be a Millionaire. A week after Talking Bad bows, Embassy Row will take the wraps off Crowd Goes Wild, a daily drive-time (5 p.m.-6 p.m.) roundtable hosted by Philbin and a panel of jocks, journalists and other sports enthusiasts that will run on Fox Sports' would-be rival to ESPN, FS1.
"When Fox told me that they'd made a deal with Regis, I thought, 'My god, I'd love to produce that show,'" Davies recalls. "There's definitely an emotional component to that, which is I care so much about the man I really want to make sure that this show is as successful as it possibly can be for him."
Lest one imagine that Davies is an irredeemable softie, he makes it clear that he would very much like Crowd Goes Wild to make a sizeable dent in the marketplace. "There are lots of shows on television about sports but they're either news shows like SportsCenter, or debate shows like Pardon the Interruption, or single point-of-view shows—Jim Rome, Michelle Beadle, Dan LeBatard," Davies says. "What was missing, really, is a talk show that at its very core … takes what entertainment shows have done. And that's not only covering content but creating content that makes it part of the conversation."
Davies won't say much about the particulars of the new FS1 series, although Fox Sports said that Crowd Goes Wild will be telecast from Silver Springs Studios in New York's Chelsea Piers, a hulking sports complex that juts out into the Hudson River about a mile north of the Embassy Row offices.
"We're going to have an enormous amount of fun," Davies says. "It's going to be live every single day and we're going to create a lot of content. And we believe we're going to make a lot of news ourselves, which is exactly the model that we go to on Watch What Happens Live." As he says this, a roar comes up from the WWHL studio, a diorama that seats around 20 cocktail-sipping guests. Such is Cohen's sway over WWHL fans that they cheer even when he's just recording promos for upcoming episodes.
"The things that get said in this little studio here, they resonate in media the next day, in the world of pop culture," Davies says, as the noise reaches a fever pitch. (Down the hall, Moss and Walter are taking their seats across from Cohen.) "We intend the same thing to happen in sports and across sports media."

Less than a month into the New Year and the e-retailer and marketplace announces plans for three additional U.S. fulfillment centers.
HTML5 will revolutionize the mobile web
Retailers should be using elements of the language today.
The big selling point of HTML5, the latest version of the web site programming language, is this: It enables developers to create mobile web sites that are akin to mobile apps. HTML5, a work in progress, was conceived to address the fact that consumers are accessing web sites on devices other than desktop PCs and laptops. It's all about greatly enhancing the mobile web experience.
Mobile apps provide richer, better experiences than mobile web sites—I don't think anyone would argue that. It's because they reside on a smartphone or tablet and can make use of all the innate features and functions of the device. Until HTML5 came along, mobile web sites could not do that. Now they can—not all of the features and functions, but some, and the list is growing longer.
Retailers with m-commerce sites need to be incorporating HTML5 design today. It's a real differentiator that makes a site stand out in the crowd. I remember the first time a mobile web site asked me for permission to activate the GPS on my iPhone—I was stunned. I didn't know sites could do that. And that was my introduction to HTML5 in action.
The geolocation aspect of HTML5 is actually a good place to start. The store locator is one of the most popular features of an m-commerce site. Get the GPS technology on smartphones cooking for you to make it easier for shoppers to find nearby stores. Some in mobile commerce like to call that "frictionless." Meaning no typing or other activity required in order to complete a task. There's no friction whatsoever in GPS-enabled store locators. They do everything for the consumer, and in the blink of an eye.
I think the biggest development with HTML5 is its ability to enable mobile web sites to play video without the use of Flash. Apple Inc. refuses to budge on its embargo of Flash, and the number of consumers with iPhone, iPod Touch and iPad devices is gigantic. HTML5 is the key to getting video content to these consumers; consequently, retailers should be considering how they can employ HTML5 to deploy the very effective technology that is online video.
Most of the retailers I've spoken with on the subject say HTML5 is a godsend. Carol Steinberg oversees mobile commerce at ShopNBC.com and has told me HTML5 really makes one stop and think about whether a site-plus-app strategy is the way to go or if a retailer can just go with a site and save the resources required to maintain multiple mobile platforms. She's thinking about it.
Personally I think apps play an important role in m-commerce for many, but not all, merchants. But at the same time, m-commerce sites are the most popular avenue for mobile shoppers and should be as sleek and useful as possible. HTML5 is making that possible. You don't want to fall behind when it comes to understanding and effectively using this powerful tool.

PRINCESS ANNE, MD - (July 8, 2014) –
Two University of Maryland Eastern Shore employees in the Office of Residence
Life were singled out by the system's Board of Regents at the June 27 meeting for
noteworthy service to their institution or the community.
John "Dean" Tilghman of Princess Anne, received
the Regents' Staff Award for Outstanding Service to Students in an Academic or
Residential Environment.
Tilghman's career spans some 34 years as a
live-in residential area director, most recently for the Nuttle and Wicomico residence
halls at UMES serving nearly 200 freshman males each semester.
The job entails supervising the daily
management of the hall and its staff, along with counseling students and
providing educational, cultural and social programs to promote personal
growth. Tilghman, said Marvin Jones,
director of UMES' Office of Residence Life, has always gone the extra mile.
"Dean Tilghman has guided countless
residents from freshman entry through graduation and well beyond. His firm, yet nurturing demeanor is fueled
with passion, common sense advice and a hot meal for those in need," Jones
He along with his sister, Evelyn Christy, a
long-time employee of the university in dining services, have generously
provided holiday meals for students who are unable to travel home for
Thanksgiving. They fed 40 people last
year according to Jones.
"I always try to be kind and on the other
hand—no nonsense," Tilghman said. "I
treat all our students alike or according to how their character allows."
"He (Tilghman) is a consummate professional
who runs a tight ship," said KeShawn Taylor, a former student who worked under
Tilghman as a residential assistant and is now a peer in the office. "His generosity and genuine character define
the great moral person and role model that he is."
Also recognized by the regents was Philip
Thomas, who has spent the last six years as a residence life area director like
Tilghman. Thomas is the recipient of the
staff award for Extraordinary Public Service to the University or the Greater
Thomas is known on campus and in the
community for numerous acts of volunteerism and involvement with non-profit
activities. He and a colleague organized
a holiday food drive for needy families for several years and created a
non-profit aimed at motivating and encouraging local school children toward
college readiness.
Thomas left the university in May to pursue
a military career with the U.S. Army.
Other UMES employees nominated for the
award were Donna Price in the School of Graduate Studies and Alvin Justis in
the Frederick Douglass Library.
Gail Stephens, assistant director, UMES Office of Public
Relations, 410-651-7580.

"It was fun!" said Kyllah Glass, when asked about her experiences during her audition for the television talent show "Americas Got Talent." On a more serious note she added, "It was a life changing experience."
Kyllah is 13 years old and the only girl in a family of boys. Her brothers are, Avery, Joey, Elijah and Zayden. On the weekend of Jan. 25, she and her mother, Jennifer Glass, traveled to Chicago so Kyllah could audition for the reality television show.
On the afternoon of the 26th Kyllah and her mother arrived for the audition. Once through registration the two found themselves in a huge room filled with what they were told was some 7,000 people.
"I think Mom was more panicked then I was" said Kyllah.
Kyllah found herself finally divided into a group 25 performers, and they began their auditions individually before a group of three judges. Kyllah said that the rules were that vocal talent had to perform without musical accompaniment.
Kyllah performed "Hallelujah," by Leonard Cohen, and feels she had a strong performance. Kyllah was told to expect notification from the show as to her status within one month. If chosen, she would then appear on "Americas Got Talent" and compete live before the celebrity judges.
Kyllah and her family want to express their thanks to everyone who contributed to her trip and helped make her dream come true. Jennifer Glass wanted to particularly thank Alyson Duncan for her special generosity. Kyllah is very happy that she got to have this experience, though her Mom said, "It was a neat experience but I'm happy to be back home!"

Hacker Who Leaked Nude Scarlett Johansson Photos Gets 10 Years in Prison
Jason Mick

Recipient E-mail
Sender E-mail
Chris Chaney pleads guilty to hacking over 50 celebrities' smartphones for fun and profit
Between November 2010 and October 2011, there were a rash of hacking of high-profile celebrities smartphones. Starlets like Scarlett Johansson, Christina Aguilera, Mila Kunis had sexually explicit or provocative pictures
stolen from their devices
and released onto the internet.
In Scarlett Johansson's case fully nude pictures, meant to be seen by then-husband Ryan Reynolds were exposed for the world to see. She recalls, "I have been truly humiliated and embarrassed."
But intrusions weren't the work of a team of savvy hackers; they were the twisted hobby-horse of a single man, according to federal prosecutors -- Christopher Chaney, a 35-year-old Jacksonville, Fla. resident.
On Monday, justice
was served
U.S. District Judge S. James Otero
weighed a seemingly remorseful Mr. Chaney versus tearful celebrities like Ms. Johansson, who comments, "I find Christopher Chaney's actions to be perverted and reprehensible."
The federal judge gave the hacker a prison sentence of 10 years after pleading guilty of several criminal counts
under the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act
of 1986 (
) -- unauthorized access to a computer and illegal wiretapping. (In the U.S. only federal agents are allowed to wiretap people.)
Mr. Chaney could have faced a maximum sentence of 60 years in prison, but the sentence he did receive wasn't exactly lenient either. Prosecutors were only seeking a sentence of 6 years, but Judge Otero was concerned that Mr. Chaney hadn't truly changed his ways and needed longer away from the world of electronics. According to the Judge, prosecutors presented evidence that Mr. Chaney continued to pursue and harass women online after his arrest in October 2011.
In all, Mr. Chaney's "Operation Hackerazzi" breached the smartphones of 50 Hollywood and music industry celebrities. But he was also alleged of hacking into some close acquaintances phones, including send a nude picture of a former co-worker to her father.
Chris Chaney claims he sorry for all the hacking and denies accusations that he hacked into real-world acquaintances' devices. [Image Source: AP]
Mr. Chaney does not deny hacking the celebrity phones, but was apologetic. He, however, refused to admit to hacking his acquaintances phones, insisting he never did that. He comments, "I don't know what else to say other than I'm sorry. I could be sentenced to never use a computer again and I wouldn't care."
The Judge is quoted as telling him, "It's hard to fathom the mindset of a person who would accomplish all of this. These types of crimes are as pernicious and serious as physical stalking."
Now he will spend a better part of the next decade of his life behind bars (although he could get out early if gets parole).

"We are going to continue to work with them to make sure they understand the reality of the Internet. A lot of these people don't have Ph.Ds, and they don't have a degree in computer science." -- RIM co-CEO Michael Lazaridis

This tea sounded so good but was very disappointing. The flavour isn't very nice.
Fav Tea!

This tea is a rich and delicious treat!
Nothing special

Thin round packs without a thread, the smell is also not quite chocolate. Won't buy it again. Тонкие круглые пакетики без ниточки. Это его что, надо руками вытаскивать, что ли? Слегка пахнет шоколадом. Больше не куплю.

The paper bag agives off taste, but not so much that I would throw it away. The tea itelf is lovely.
I love this

Q: What is the craziest thing you have ever done?
A: I am asked to do crazy things all the time for my auditions for film and TV! For instance, I recently was narrowed down as a top contender for a national commercial for "Powerade" in which the breakdown called for "competitive female soccer players". I winged the audition and enthusiastically attempted to perform my soccer skills even though the last time I played on a soccer team was when I was 10 years old! I guess I fooled the casting people because they nearly offered me and two others girls the job, but then decided last minute to go with male players instead.
Q: Do you cook and/or bake anything? If so, what are your special dishes?
A: Ha ha! I usually lend my parents a hand with the dishes, I'm not much of a cook, although I am trying to learn!
Q: If you were handed 10 million dollars, what would you splurge on?
A: I would definitely put a down payment on a nice apartment in the NYC where I could live and pursue all my dreams and get my college education at the same time! I would also use the money to produce my screenplay and first motion picture that I could also act in! I would donate a good amount to charities I feel strongly about!
Q: If you could meet one celebrity, who would it be and why?
A: Jennifer Aniston because we both worked intensively with the same acting coach and mentor, Anthony Abeson! I admire her as an actress and a person, and would love to meet her some day! She seems like the type of person I would be great friends with and could learn a lot from!
Q: What is unique about you (something no other contestant can say about themselves)?
A: I am virtually fearless when it comes to pursuing my interests. I have developed an uninhibited nature and attitude when "putting myself out there" and following my dreams. I have been placed in numerous situations through my acting work where I have had to live in an adult world at a young age with a full time job in the spot light, and have learned a great deal about responsibility, sticking to my morals, and being a positive role model.

Batavia Notre Dame boys basketball coach Mike Rapone chasing another milestone: No. 600
The early part of this Syracuse basketball season the focus mostly has been on coach Jim Boeheim's pursuit of his 900th career win. If the Orange beat Canisius on Saturday night at the Carrier Dome, No. 900 could come Monday against Detroit. Whenever it happens, I expect to be there to chronicle the latest milestone for the former skinny guard from Lyons, Wayne County and Section V Basketball (not to mention Naismith) Hall-of-Famer. But, out west of Rochester there's another coach who is chasing another milestone. Batavia Notre Dame boys basketball coach Mike Rapone has 588 wins and should become the first area coach to reach 600 sometime in late January or early February. With that in mind, I offer up these lists I've compiled over the past decade-plus of covering Section V hoops. If you have any additions or changes to this list, e-mail me at firstname.lastname@example.com. Look for my girls basketball overview in Friday's print edition and online later at www.DemocratandChronicle.com. That includes our first Top 10 polls of the season, which you can see here. No. 1s are Penfield (large schools) and Waterloo (small).

Calm during the storm
MARSHALL -The severe weather that's walloped Minnesota isn't done yet. And as damage mounted up along the southern edge of the state on Wednesday, Marshall officials found themselves having to strike a balance between helping other communities and staying prepared for more storms.
In an emergency meeting, members of the Marshall City Council passed a mutual aid agreement for communities asking for assistance after Tuesday night's ice storms. However, city officials noted that, depending on local needs, that help might not come right away. At the same time, area emergency responders and electric line crews were mobilizing to help people left without electricity.
At the emergency council meeting, Marshall City Administrator Ben Martig said the city had received a request from the city of Worthington to assist with removing fallen trees. Martig said the city had drafted a mutual aid agreement in 2010, which could be revised to offer temporary assistance to Worthington. However, Martig and Marshall Public Works Director Glenn Olson said the city may want to consider further aid requests on a case-by-case basis. Depending on the severity of coming storms in Marshall, it's possible that responders will be needed here, or be unable to leave right away, they said.
Council members unanimously approved the mutual aid agreement.
Marshall was spared the worst of Tuesday night's severe weather, which included freezing rain, sleet and snow. The National Weather Service in Sioux Falls reported ice accumulations of .9 inches in Murray and Nobles counties by Wednesday morning.
"We've been fortunate so far," said Tim O'Leary of Lyon-Lincoln Electric. As of Wednesday afternoon, he said, the electric cooperative had only two outages. "We have been able to send line workers to the south."
Ice and wind pose a threat to above-ground power lines, O'Leary said. Under the right conditions, they can cause the lines to "gallop" up and down and knock over transmission poles.
The combination of ice, wind and heavy snow felled trees and power lines to the south of Lyon County. Nobles Cooperative Electric, which has offices in both Worthington and Slayton, said lines in Nobles County were hit especially hard by the storm. More than 100 transmission poles were down between Worthington and Adrian alone, said Tracey Haberman of NCE. Haberman said there were some isolated power outages in Murray County near Lake Shetek, but if more ice and snow came to the area on Wednesday night, the number of outages would grow.
NCE has requested assistance from neighboring electric cooperatives like Lyon-Lincoln Electric and Legacy Construction.
"We really want people to make sure, if they see any downed lines, to stay away and to report them," Haberman said.
Xcel Energy's online outage map reported some outages affecting customers in the Tracy and Currie areas on Wednesday.
A news release from the Division of Homeland Security and Emergency Management said power outages, downed lines and trees were widespread throughout Nobles, Cottonwood, Murray and Rock counties. In Luverne, the National Guard Armory was opened to house 35 juveniles from a nearby facility. A hospital in Nobles County and a nursing home in Hills were both running on generator power, HSEM said.
In Marshall, local emergency responders were joining the efforts to help people stranded by the storms. Members of the Marshall Fire Department, Marshall Police and the Lyon County Sheriff's Department helped load blankets and cots onto a trailer bound for Rock County. Lyon County Emergency Manager Tammy VanOverbeke said the supplies were part of a cache kept for regional emergencies.
Unfortunately, the severe weather isn't over yet for the region. A winter storm warning will remain in effect until 1 p.m. today, the National Weather Service said. Freezing rain and heavy, wet snow were predicted to continue through Wednesday night and this morning, putting more stress on trees and power lines.

Pre-release of 2012 Black Widow
Black Widow Porter
Originally created at the Thompson Brewery over 20 years ago on October 15, 1991, and made once a year by all Thompson Brewers to come after that, Black Widow has become an expected and welcome Halloween treat at the Thompson Public House in Salem. This year, however, Black Widow's web has enveloped the entire company, as every McMenamins brewery made a batch this year. Each deep-black goblet of Black Widow is packed full of the robust notes afforded by generous amounts of black and roast malts and further spirited with ethereal wisps of caramel and licorice. Both substantial and sublime, this elixir is sure to slake the most fiendish of thirsts. Open up a creaking pub door, find a seat with friends and family andnourish your inner ghoul with a brew steeped in tradition and mystery. A good howl at the Cheshire moon couldn't hurt, either.
Malts: British Pale Malt, Munich, Flaked Barley, Wheat, 135/165 Crystal, Black and Roast
Hops: Nugget and Sterling
Additional Ingredient: Licorice Root


text: Gabriel Mälesskircher was an important German painter who enjoyed considerable renown in the mid-15th century. A leading member of the Guild of Saint Luke, he worked with Michael Wolgemut, among others. His style reveals the influence of the Munich school although his works are more realistic and imbued with a powerful narrative sense. These eight panels belonged to an altarpiece in the Benedictine monastery of Saint Quirinus in Tegernsee. Mälesskircher produced a number of altarpieces dedicated to the Virgin and various saints and martyrs for this monastery. These particular panels were painted for an altar dedicated to the Four Evangelists, which included depictions of each saint with scenes of his martyrdom and the most celebrated events in his life. They would originally have been accompanied by four more panels, giving a total of twelve. In the first group of four paintings, Mälesskircher depicts the Evangelists working on their Gospels in their studies and with their corresponding attributes. The other four depict scenes from their lives. Saint Luke is shown painting the Virgin; Saint Matthew is taming dragons; Saint John is seen with the miracle of the Hosts while lying in his tomb; and Saint Mark is depicted being martyred, dragged through the streets of Alexandria. The influence of Flemish art is evident in this group of panels, particularly in the importance given to the details.

BEIJING (AP) U.S. volleyball coach Jenny Lang Ping momentarily dropped the all-business demeanor she has had in Beijing when she considered whether her experience on the Chinese team would be an advantage for the United States when the two meet.
"If you cannot stop them, it doesn't matter if I know so much," she said, adding with a laugh: "The thing is that I don't play."
The U.S. women under Lang play China Friday night in one of the most anticipated early matches of the Olympic volleyball competition.
Lang is a huge celebrity in China, having led the Chinese team to international prominence and a gold medal in the 1984 Los Angeles Olympics. She later coached the national team.
Known as the "Iron Hammer" for her powerful spikes, Lang has appeared on her own postage stamp. When she married, it was on television.
In Beijing, Lang has attracted scores of Chinese fans to the U.S. team's matches. She is always met with thunderous applause when she is announced. Crowds stay late just to see her leave the court, some snapping pictures and others pointing her out to their children.
The atmosphere Friday night at Capital Indoor Stadium figures to be electric. The U.S. women also have a large contingent of flag-waving American fans cheering them on Beijing.
Her joke about not playing in the match drew laughs. But as for her experience giving the United States any advantage, or even any insight into strategy, Lang got back to business.
"It's going to be a very, very tough game. China is the host and they play very well," she said. "You have to go play and play well, even if you know how they play."
The United States is 2-1 in pool play, as is China. There are 12 women's teams competing in Beijing, divided into two pools. The top four teams will emerge from round-robin play into the quarterfinals - placing even more significance on Friday's match.
The Chinese women, who won the gold medal in Athens and are considered one of the top teams in the Olympics, are coached by Chen Zhonghe, one of Lang's former assistants.
The hosts, however, are coming off a draining loss to rival Cuba.
"The next match against the United States is very important for us," Chen said. "Our major task now is to calm down and focus on it."
The Americans also lost earlier in preliminary play to undefeated Cuba. Their trip to the Olympics has thus far been marked by tragedy.
Before its opening match the team learned that an American fatally stabbed at a popular tourist spot in Beijing was Todd Bachman, the father of former volleyball Olympian Elisabeth "Wiz" Bachman McCutcheon.
Bachman was with his wife, Barbara, and his daughter at the 13th century Drum Tower when he was attacked. Barbara Bachman suffered serious wounds and the assailant jumped from the tower to his death.
Bachman McCutcheon is the wife of U.S. men's coach Hugh McCutcheon and is close to many on the women's team.
The United States appeared to refocus after its last match, a victory over Venezuela. But in China the team faces a greater challenge.
"I think we are very much under pressure for this game. We need to focus on ourselves," Lang said. "China plays fast, they play a lot of combinations. How much we can play under the pressure, and play well, that's more important."
Lang was an outside hitter for the Chinese national team from 1978-85 and then again in 1990. Credited with the ascent of the Chinese women's program, she helped the team to its first title in 1981 at the World Cup.
In 1995 she became the first woman to coach a Chinese national team. She led the women to a silver medal in the 1996 Olympics in Atlanta and the 1998 World Championship. After leaving the team in 1999, Lang served as head coach for a number of championship teams in the Italian League.
In 2005, she was hired as head coach of the U.S. women's national team.

RE CHRIS:" Probably the Rolling Stones finest moment, on their best album. And that is quite a thing to say because this band had many of them."
Their finest for sure & the other greats in my opinion are Beggar's Banquet, Let it Bleed, Exile on Main St & It's Only Rockin Roll.
I Don't think the Stones ever fully recovered from the loss of Mick Taylor, Richards is a great rhythm guitarist & Taylor played off him so well. Ronnie sounds to close to Keith & I think they needed the contrast in styles that Taylor brought to the table, trade off was Ronnie helped keep them together.
TIME WAITS FOR NO ONE fr It's Only Rockin & Roll is another great solo.

Summit in LGBWednesday, October 27th, 2010
If you're interested in the new aviation products – aircraft, avionics, stuff in general – AOPA Summit is great place to go. LGB (is the place to be) and despite being in high density traffic we've always had great ATC service. Mere mortals can do this!
The airport itself serves as a poster child of complexity and if you're a bit foggy on airport signage, review the Air Safety Institute's Runway safety Course (sponsored by FAA's Office of Runway Safety). I always ask for progressive taxi anyway at complex locations and the controllers are helpful so don't let this be a deterrent.
The show itself is a nice blend between the down home of OSH and the super upscale of NBAA. Hitting the static display is always a high point for me to see both new hardware such as the LSA exhibit as well as as some of the classics. Not a bad time to buy either as dealers are dealing.
Not in the market for a new airplane? Go to the seminars – There are literally dozens covering everything from insurance, financing and how to stay healthy to all the educational offerings.
Some new things for this year:
- NTSB Senior Air Safety Investigator Wayne Pollack will join me on Friday November 12 at 11:30 to co-host the Air Safety Institute's popular seminar, "What Went Wrong?" Look at two general aviation accidents through the eyes of the investigator – starting at the scene and working backwards to reconnect the links in the accident chain. Plenty to learn here.
- Saturday evening (November 13) is a special fundraiser benefit for the AOPA Foundation. "A Night for Flight" takes place aboard the historic RMS Queen Mary and features a cocktail hour, dinner, and entertainment from jazz guitarist and singer John Pizzarelli. There will be some special guests joining us.
- The AOPA Foundation auction culminates at "A Night for Flight" but you don't have to attend the event to get in on the bidding. Just visit the auction website and bid on incredible items such as a Waco bi-plane, lunch and a flight with Harrison Ford, aerobatic training with Sean Tucker, as well as flight gear such as headsets, flight bags, and sunglasses. It all goes to support Foundation activities.
- Visit the Exhibit Hall and the AOPA Foundation booth (#746), which will be showcasing the newest in online safety education from the Air Safety Institute.
- All information on Summit can be seen at www.aopa.org/summit/.
Hope you'll join us – remember life's not a dry run! Create an adventure! If not, at least join us on AOPA Live to see some of the action.

Train Low. Race High. - Page 3
Some Like It Hot
While Daniels says there is no direct substitute for training at altitude for a high-altitude race, he offers this advice: "Running in the heat at sea level compares to running at altitude." He says it taxes the body's systems, forcing them to become more efficient.
Hamilton concurs: "Training in the heat, your body needs to allocate blood to different areas—to exercising muscles and to the skin for cooling, and starts to retain fluid to make more plasma, which increases your blood volume. That might be an advantage at altitude, since your body actually loses blood volume up high."
Preparation Is Key
Nearly every coach cautions runners aspiring to high-altitude races to temper their expectations and to train harder than they would for a lower-altitude event. Indeed, athletes who experience the most success at training low and racing high all credit rigorous training programs.
"Do short, hard intervals, such as two-minute hill repeats, to boost your aerobic threshold," says Doug Bush, a sports coach and founder of www.endurancefactor.com.
Roxanne Zobava, 32, of Atlanta, Georgia, does not fit the profile of a runner who would win the 2008 Inca Trail Marathon in course-record time. It's not that she lacks talent - she has taken the trail-running community by storm, most recently winning the 2008 Great Eastern Endurance Run 50K in Charlottesville, Virginia. It's that Zobava lives at low altitude and the 27.5-mile Inca Trail Marathon treads between 8000 and 13,700 feet.
Zobava simply trained extra hard. "I ran 80 to 100 miles weekly and did lots of hill training and stair work," she says. "I hit steep hills on sections of the Appalachian Trail until I was completely out of breath."
New Yorker Chip Tilden, 39, also brings intensity to his training while preparing for his annual target race, the Pikes Peak Marathon, a demonic event in Manitou Springs, Colorado, that climbs and descends a total of 12,000 feet and tops out at 14,110 feet.
"I do a lot of Stairmaster training and build up my mileage," he says, while describing his two main training locales: Central Park and the YMCA. Tilden has completed three straight Pikes Peaks.
So, with the right preparation, even a New Yorker can run to the summit of the country's most famous peak and then back down. "Fear not the heights," says Tilden. "It can be intimidating. Go at it with the energy and belief that you can conquer it."

Is it a superior medium for these types of toppings compared to NY pie? Freshness seems to describe the pie.
You walked from midtown all the way down to Keste? That's kind of a trek, isn't it?
On a scale between 1 and 10, where would you place Keste in comparison to Pupatella?

Solving the world's biggest problems starts with one idea, by one individual, in one community. And those leaders must be equipped with new knowledge, resources, and networks in order for their ideas to thrive.
The State Department's Community Solutions Program is in its second year and empowers community leaders with the tools and skills to change the world. For the past four months, 58 young professionals from 28 countries participated in a fellowship at U.S. community-based non-profits, government offices, or legislative bodies to see how American institutions address complex challenges.
Community Solutions Fellows worked with American community leaders to enhance their practical expertise, leadership skills and professional contacts to address societal issues in their home communities. The Fellows work in the fields of tolerance and conflict resolution, transparency and accountability, as well as environmental issues and women's issues.
One of the young leaders, Smrita Khadka, started Asha Nepal, a hostel for children of trafficking survivors that also educates young girls about human trafficking. After completing the Community Solutions Program, Khadka wants to break the cycle of discrimination, illiteracy, and poverty experienced by the children of human trafficking survivors through education.
Alex Lawoko from Uganda is another Community Solutions Fellows, and works as a chairperson with the Gulu Deaf Association. After two decades of war, persons with disabilities in Uganda are facing a grave economic environment, impacted by poverty and unemployment. Following the Community Solutions Program, Lawoko plans to economically empower deaf women and men for self reliance by providing seed capital in the form of materials and training.
As Secretary Clinton has said, "Societies move forward when the citizens that make up these groups are empowered to transform common interests into common actions that serve the common good." Community Solutions exists to teach the Fellows best practices, common challenges, and how to best serve their community in an increasingly globalized world.
Collectively, people who participate in programs like this always leave a truly remarkable impact. By forming personal networks with peers from all over the world these networks can -- and will -- create a better future, one idea and person at a time.

There are ideas we shared some two years back, I think they need to be revived since we seem to be equiped with the expertise we missed that time.

Mr. Speaker, Maikel Nabil is a young Egyptian blogger, one of the early voices of the Tahrir Square revolution, whose words, "the army and the people are of one hand", symbolized the hopes of the Egyptian Arab Spring. When the military started oppressing civilians, Nabil wrote, "the army and the people are no longer of one hand", for which he was sentenced by a military tribunal to three years in prison in a process devoid of any legality.
Maikel is now on the 95th day of his hunger strike. He has become a symbol of hope and betrayal of an Egyptian Spring turned Winter, his life hanging by a thread.
I know all colleagues will join me in urging the Egyptian authorities to immediately release him and vindicate the original hopes of the Egyptian Arab Spring.

Mr. Speaker, Canadians are rightfully concerned when the practice of polygamy is exposed in the country.
Polygamy has been linked to a consistent set of harms, including: physical and sexual abuse; physical, reproductive and mental health harms; economic deprivation; lower levels of education; inequality, including both gender inequality and marginalization of young men; decreased political rights and civil liberties; and the commodification and objectification of women. The harmful effects of polygamy justify the criminal law ban.
That is why our government has vigorously defended the prohibition against polygamy in the Criminal Code. It is a practice which inevitably leads to the exploitation of women and young girls. This is unacceptable to our party and to our government. We have already acted to raise the age of sexual consent from 14 to 16 and currently have legislation before the House that will crack down on a wide variety of child sexual offences.
I would like to assure all Canadians that they can count on our government to stand up for these important values.
Natural Resources

Brian Jean Fort McMurray—Athabasca, AB
Mr. Speaker, this week we have some great news for workers in Canada and the United States. The state of Nebraska and TransCanada Pipelines have agreed to find a route for Keystone pipeline through Nebraska.
Keystone, when approved, means 20,000 immediate construction jobs in the United States and tens of thousands of jobs in Canada. It will be the safest transportation method for oil in the world, oil from an ethical, safe, democracy that believes in equal rights for all and the rule of law for its citizens.
Yes, the NDP asked the Americans to stop the pipeline and kill tens of thousands of Canadian jobs. It is hard to believe the NDP would work to kill Canadian jobs and would encourage the purchase of oil from countries that do not allow women to vote, do not believe in individual rights and have many of their citizens live in fear and poverty.
Why would the NDP members do this? It is obvious they want to play politics with the lives of Canadians. They are not in it for Canadians; they are in it for themselves. They are not fit to govern.
Global Buy Nothing Day

Isabelle Morin Notre-Dame-de-Grâce—Lachine, QC
Mr. Speaker, today is Global Buy Nothing Day.
We wish to recognize this day as an opportunity to reflect on the issue of overconsumption and how consumerism in wealthy countries affects the planet as a whole in terms of its social, economic and ecological impact.
At present, 20% of the world's population consumes 80% of all global resources. In every country, people are suffering because they cannot get the basic resources they need to live comfortably. In certain regions of the world, some people do not even have access to food every day and many children are suffering as a result.
Global Buy Nothing Day is not meant to hurt the economy, but it is an opportunity for people to reflect on how lucky we are to be able to buy things every day without even thinking about it.
I would like to congratulate an organization in my riding, the Coop la Maison verte, which is marking this event on Sunday by inviting its members to gather at the co-op to raise awareness, without buying anything. It is very important that we all pay attention to our consumption habits and make responsible decisions.

Mr. Speaker, this Sunday millions of Canadians from coast to coast to coast will turn their eyes toward beautiful British Columbia for the 99th Grey Cup. This annual sporting event is one of the oldest in the world.
However, as millions of Canadians know, the Grey Cup is about more than just football. For almost 100 years, the Grey Cup has helped bring our country together. Serving as Canada's unofficial fall festival, the Grey Cup affords an opportunity for all Canadians to come together to celebrate an event that is uniquely Canadian.
I have had the opportunity since 2004 to be a member of the B.C. alliance family as a member of the support group, the "Waterboys". The Lions, which had its first season in 1954, is the oldest professional sports team in British Columbia and is a valuable and important member of our community.
This weekend, along with millions in British Columbia, I will be cheering on the team members of the Lions as they attempt to win their sixth Grey Cup. Go Lions go.

Mr. Speaker, from November 16 to 19, I joined the Governor General on a state visit to Vietnam. This visit was the first ever state visit to Vietnam. This visit was to continue establishing our growing relations in trade, education and cultural ties.
While these ties are growing, nevertheless our concerns regarding human rights, the rule of law, religious freedom and promotion of democracy remain. During our bilateral meeting with the president, I emphasized these principles as a major platform of our foreign policy. I also informed him of our plans to open an office of religious freedom.
The next day, on our visit to Ho Chi Minh City, I then paid a visit to the parents of Nguyen Tien Trung, who has been sentenced to 16 years for advocating more democracy. I inquired about Mr. Nguyen's well-being.
Canada recognizes the desire of Vietnam to be a member of the international community. However, it needs to show that it has taken concrete steps to address its shortcomings in human rights, the rule of law, religious freedom and promotion of democracy. Canada is ready to assist.

Mr. Speaker, this Sunday the big blue machine will descend on the hapless and unsuspecting B.C. Lions and regain its rightful ownership of the Grey Cup.
The Winnipeg Blue Bombers have a great history and tradition of triumph and victory. In 1935 it was the first team west of Ontario to ever win the Grey Cup. Since then, it has contested for the championship no fewer than 24 times, one of the best records in the league. The 1950s and 1960s were golden years for the blue and gold, with four Grey Cup victories in five seasons, and we christened "The House that Jack Built", the stadium that our team has called home until this very season.
The Winnipeg Blue Bombers are the pride of the Prairies, with the most devoted and passionate fans in the league. We love our team and our team has always made us proud.
I know that Sunday, November 27, the 99th CFL Grey Cup will be a great day and a historic event, as the big blue machine brings the Grey Cup back where it belongs: to the corner of Portage and Main.

John Weston West Vancouver—Sunshine Coast—Sea to Sky Country, BC
Mr. Speaker, today is International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women. Today also marks the beginning of 16 days of activism to combat violence against women here in Canada and around the world. This period of activism will end on Human Rights Day on December 10.
Violence against women affects everyone. It destroys families, undermines our social fabric, harms our communities and hinders our economy.
Our government made this problem a priority in the Speech from the Throne. Since 2007, the government has invested more than $39 million in projects to address this situation.
These 16 days of activism remind us to do everything we can to eliminate violence against women and girls, today and always.

Mr. Speaker, the Festival de la chanson de Tadoussac has been celebrating French song for 28 years. This event features emerging artists who perform various types of music and it attracts people from everywhere, close to 38,000 in 2010. The festival's economic spinoffs exceed $1.7 million. This shows how the festival has expanded over the years.
During the Canadian Tourism Awards Gala, which took place on November 24 in Ottawa, the Festival de la chanson de Tadoussac was a finalist for the national award for cultural tourism. I want to acknowledge this recognition, which is the result of the hard work the organizers and volunteers have put in to make this festival a model to follow.
Congratulations and long live the Festival de la chanson de Tadoussac.
Tim Hortons in Kandahar

Leon Benoit Vegreville—Wainwright, AB
Mr. Speaker, a piece of home for Canadians serving in Afghanistan is now coming home.
The Tim Hortons outlet at Kandahar airfield is closing after boosting soldiers' spirits for over five years. Civilian personnel hired by the Canadian Forces poured over four million coffees and half a million iced capps and served over three million doughnuts. Many of these civilians did multiple tours in Afghanistan.
The Tim Hortons on base provided a meeting place for soldiers from all nations. It was a place to sip on some coffee and have some good conversation. For many, it was a home away from home.
How many Canadians know this: all the proceeds from the Kandahar Tim Hortons went to support our troops and their families.
We salute and thank Tim Hortons for its support of our men and women in uniform.
We salute and thank the civilian personnel whose commitment made life a little easier for those for serve.
We salute and thank our brave men and women of the Canadian Forces who answer the call to duty each and every day.

Mr. Speaker, Jan Coates is a children's author and teacher from Wolfville, Nova Scotia, who has been writing for children since 2000.
This year her book "A Hare in the Elephant's Trunk" was one of five finalists for the 2011 Governor General's Literary Award--Children's Text.
The novel for young adults is based on the life of Jacob Deng, who as a seven-year-old in southern Sudan embarked on a journey of survival. Jacob fled from a civil war, lived in a refugee camp, endured hunger and aspired to an education as a path away from violence.
In 2003 Jacob arrived in Nova Scotia as a refugee. He has since studied at both Acadia University and St. Mary's University and has established a charitable foundation, Wadeng Wings of Hope, to build schools in Sudan. Forty per cent of the proceeds from the sales of Jan's books is donated to Jacob's charity.
Jacob's life is a story of courage, and Jan's book about it is a lesson on life for all of those who read it.
Congratulations, Jan and Jacob.

Mr. Speaker, the member for Vancouver Quadra is calling for Canada to impose a European-style carbon tax. The member for Saint-Laurent—Cartierville wants a global carbon tax. The Liberal scheme for a job-killing carbon tax on everything is back on the table.
If the Liberals had their way, Canadians would be paying substantially more for gas in their cars, electricity for their homes and everything else they buy.
Canadians must not forget the Liberals' hidden agenda of imposing a massive new tax on everything if they get their chance.
It is not just carbon taxes. Recently their interim leader called for the end of tax credits for children, transit users and workers, and despite the current global economic uncertainty, the Liberals continue to call for higher taxes on job creators.
It is clear that the Liberal Party still has no new ideas other than higher taxes for Canadian families.

Charlie Angus Timmins—James Bay, ON
Mr. Speaker, the Conservatives were elected on a promise to clean up Ottawa. Instead, the Muskoka minister gets his hands on a $50 million slush fund. He runs the program through his constituency office. He hides the documents from the Auditor General. Then, when he is pressed for an explanation by committee, he claims that he had no role in the review of the projects. Two hundred and forty-two projects magically became 32. That is simply not true.
We have his letters of rejection to the municipalities. He said in the House that he handed all of the documents to the Auditor General. That is not true. The Auditor General told committee that she was given only a few unrelated documents.
Where is the outrage from Conservative backbenchers on behalf of Canadian taxpayers? Why are they sitting on their hands? Those Conservatives came to Ottawa to change Ottawa, but instead Ottawa changed them. They are now worse than the party they replaced.

Mr. Speaker, while our Conservative government is focused on creating and protecting jobs with our low-tax plan and job-creating measures such as the hiring credit for small business, the NDP is constantly opposing them and thus opposing helping Canadian families.
In the coming months, Canadians will endure countless NDP leadership debates. The candidates will each be looking to lead Canada's socialist movement. However, even before the debate, we already know what most NDP leadership candidates want to do for the economy and Canadian taxpayers, and workers everywhere should be very afraid.
First, they want to kill jobs by hiking taxes on employers by nearly $10 billion a year. Second, they want to impose a new tax on everyday financial transactions. Third, they want to increase personal taxes. Fourth, they want to hike taxes on everyone by implementing a higher GST. The list of tax hikes and ill-considered schemes goes on and on.
When it comes to the NDP and the economy, Canadians know that means three things--

NY State Social Work Deans/NASW Videos
NYSED Accepting Waiver Applications to Allow Unauthorized Corporate Settings to Provide Licensed Mental Health Services
In June 2010 the NYS Legislature passed a law addressing the practice of clinical social work and other scope protected tasks including the provision of mental health counseling and psychotherapy in currently unauthorized corporate settings. The law allows the Education Department to issue a waiver from corporate practice prohibitions to qualified not-for-profit and education corporations.
The Board of Regents has approved permanent regulations to implement the law, effective February 2, 2011. The Department has developed the required waiver applications, consistent with the law and regulations, to allow certain not-for-profit and educational corporations to apply for a waiver.
The applications were posted on the Office of the Professions' website on February 16, 2011. Qualified agencies have 120 Days from the posting of the applications by the Department to apply for a waiver.
The NYS Association of Deans of Schools of Social Work in conjunction with the NASW New York State Chapter have produced an informational video regarding this issue to clarify who the law pertains to, which corporate entities might require a waiver and the application process.
We encourage everyone to share this with their agency administrators and colleagues so that the information reaches as many affected agencies as possible especially given the brief window for application.
(approx. 15 mins in length):
Link to Waiver Applications on NYSED website:
Deadline for Waiver Applications was June 16, 2011
The video provides information for faculty, students and alumni on social work licensure and practice in New York State. It features David Hamilton, Executive Secretary for the State Board for Social Work, and Karin Moran, Director of Policy for the New York State Chapter of NASW. The moderator is Celisia Street, Media and Membership Services Director for the New York State Chapter of NASW.

Braves TV deal worse than we thought
The LA Times reports the Dodgers will receive $240 to $280 million per year for local broadcasting rights.
According to DOB, the Braves take in roughly $20-to-$25 million annually from their local TV rights — a deal Jeff Passan calls "the sport's worst television contract," negotiated as "a term of its sale" from Time Warner to Liberty Media.
A sale that was approved by Hapless Bud. Remember where to direct the blame when Jay Hey, Freddie and Med Dog are playing elsewhere a few years from now.
The deal doesn't expire for another 20 years. God knows what shape the Braves will be in then.

The grease program is governed under the City
of Clearwater ordinance No. 7090-03. The purpose of the program is
to regulate grease traps and interceptors at Food Service facilities throughout
the city. Under the ordinance, any facility deemed to be a Food Service
Facility is required to install and maintain either a grease trap or interceptor.
The need is determined by the city representative of the program, and
the size needed is to be determined by a plumbing official.
The program was established to provide universal maintenance and monitoring
requirements for controlling the discharge of grease from Food Service
Facility discharging into the city's wastewater collection system. This
will help in aiding to curb SSOs (Sanitary Sewer Overflows) and grease
from backing up the sewer lines and drains, causing blockages and disruption in services.
The Grease program is a continuous monitoring program that requires the
Food Service Facility to maintain their grease waste interceptors and
provide monitoring information to the City of Clearwater.
Regulation is enforced through paperwork correspondence and periodic
inspections. Food Service Facilities must fill out/submit:
The City of Clearwater representative, who performs inspections, determines
interceptor need, sets pumping schedules and cleaning frequencies, issues
warnings, and Notice of Violations, carries out enforcement of compliance
to the program. Further compliance is enforced through the City of Clearwater
Code Enforcement Department and/or Pinellas County Court System.
The grease management program uses grease judges to determine the grease
content of the Grease Waster Interceptors. Food Service Facilities are
required to keep interceptor levels below 6" on the top and/or 8" on the
bottom. This picture indicates a violation of both criteria that would
result in immediate pump out.
