Detailed Description:
This is a multicenter, dose-ranging study of CNTO 1959 in patients with moderate to severe plaque psoriasis. Patients who satisfy all inclusion and exclusion criteria will be assigned by chance to one of 7 treatment groups: a placebo group (a placebo is a treatment identical in appearance to CNTO 1959 but does not contain active drug), 1 of 5 dose groups for CNTO 1959, or adalimumab. Patients assigned to adalimumab will be dosed according to the labeled dosing for psoriasis. At Week 16, patients initially assigned to placebo will begin receiving CNTO 1959. Patients initially assigned to CNTO 1959 will continue to receive the same assigned dose level of study agent from Week 16 through Week 40. Patients receiving adalimumab will continue the labeled dosing regimen. All patients will be reassessed for clinical response every 4 weeks from Week 4 through Week 40. Patients will continue dosing through Week 40, with a subsequent efficacy and safety follow-up visit at Week 52. Patient safety will be monitored throughout the study.

John Hopkins University in Baltimore, MD, houses one of the largest public drug library available to researchers interested in finding new uses for old and often forgotten drugs. "Already, researchers have used the library to discover that itraconazole, a drug used for decades to treat toenail fungus, may also inhibit the growth of some kinds of tumors and may forestall macular degeneration. Another drug, clofazimine, used more than a century ago to treat leprosy, may be effective against autoimmune disorders like multiple sclerosis and psoriasis. "

Richard T. Thordarson
Richard T. Thordarson, 88 of Austin, Texas, died Tuesday, Jan. 21, 2014.
The following is a biography Mr. Thordarson wrote for his high school reunion.
"I was born on New Year's Eve, 1925, in the greatest little town in the West, Miles City, Montana, where my "Home on the Range" was on The Island at 1104 Truscott Street. Schools attended were Garfield, Washington and Custer County High. I don't know how but we survived the Depression years, cold winters, and life without television. I spent several years as a newsboy selling the Miles City Daily Star, including an "Extra" edition proclaiming our entry into World War II on Pearl Harbor Day, December 7, 1941. Following high school graduation in 1943, I joined the Navy and went to officer training schools at Doane College, Crete, Nebraska, and The University of Texas at Austin, where I graduated in 1946. After the war, I moved to Houston and joined the Accounting Department of Texaco, Inc. where I worked for 36 years. I met my wife, Vernell, at The University of Texas and we were married in 1949. We have three daughters and six grandchildren. Upon my retirement from Texaco in 1982, Vernell and I moved back to Austin."
In addition to his family, Mr. Thordarson's other accomplishments include; rising to the rank of Commander in the Navy, membership in the Valley of Houston Masonic Lodge and the Scottish Rite, and being an avid Texas Longhorn.
Mr. and Mrs. Thordarson enjoyed 62 years of marriage together. Mrs. Thordarson preceded him in death in May of 2011, and the family rejoices as they are now reunited.
The staff and owners of Grace and Pax House in Dripping Springs, Texas, provided love and care and allowed Mr. Thordarson to live out his final days with dignity.
Mr. Thordarson's survivors include three daughters, Lynn Schwab and husband Herb of Sugar Land, Texas, Leslie McCullough and husband Joe of Austin, and Lee Glover and husband Rob of Galveston, Texas; one sister, Hazel Lang of Walnut Creek, Calif.; and six grandchildren, Cory Schwab, Jennifer Lawson and husband Stanton, Ally Silverberg and husband Blair, Bailey Glover, Ty McCullough and Emery Glover.
Funeral services were at 2 p.m. Friday, Jan. 24, 2014, in the Weed-Corley-Fish Funeral Home Chapel, 3125 N. Lamar Blvd., Austin, Texas 78705, (512) 452-8811, with Interment to follow at Oakwood Cemetery Annex.
Memorial contributions may be made to the Alzheimer's Association, 3420 Executive Center Dr., Suite 301, Austin, Texas 78731.

Guest Picks: Pico Iyer
Writer Pico Iyer spoke to Leonard Lopate recently about exploring the parallels he saw between his life and the writer Graham Greene's. He also told us that his favorite comfort food is a cup of strong black English tea. Find out what else he's a fan of!
What have you read or seen over the past year (book, play, film, etc…) that moved or surprised you?
Bill Cunningham: New York, last year's stunning documentary. I'd never heard of him before, I have no interest in fashion, and yet I found this mix of sweetness, optimism, austerity and depth as moving and illuminating as anything I've seen.
What are you listening to right now?
Leonard Cohen's new collection of late, austere hymns, Old Ideas, and always—always—Sigur Rós, not least in their stirring new live double cd.
What's the last great book you read?
Changing My Mind, Zadie Smith's collection of essays. It's humbling and inspiring to encounter a writer, and such a young one, with such extraordinary wisdom, humility, openness and range. She can—and does—write astonishing memoir, reportage, lecture, literary criticism, and political essay.
What's one thing you're a fan of that people might not expect?
McDonald's (but I'd better keep quiet about that). And the Metallica documentary, Some Kind of Monster.
What's your favorite comfort food?
Strong black English tea.

A Day at the Races (1937)
A Day at the Races (1937) is a classic Marx Brothers comedy, often argued as one of their three or four best works. The disjointed plot line and long musical numbers are secondary to the familiar wisecracking dialogue, anarchic comedy, and outrageous routines, a few of which have become classics:
- the famous "Tootsie-Frootsie" Ice Cream/Code Book scene
- the Medical Examination scenes
- Stuffy's pantomime for Tony that Hackenbush is in trouble
- the Wallpapering to the Wall scene
This was the only Marx Brothers film to receive a competitive Oscar nomination -- Dave Gould's Best Dance Direction for this song/dance number "All God's Children Got Rhythm." Queen, the raunchy, mock-opera rock band in the mid-70s with charismatic lead singer Freddie Mercury, named their fifth album after this film. [Their fourth album was also named after an earlier Marx Bros. film, A Night at the Opera.]The Story
The Standish Sanitarium and its owner, lovely Judy Standish (Maureen O'Sullivan) are in deep financial trouble. Judy faces liquidation, bankruptcy, and the sale of the institution. One of the rich patients, hypochondriac/socialite Mrs. Emily Upjohn (Margaret Dumont) is about to leave the hospital, because the doctors can find nothing wrong with her. She is indignant and on the verge of a nervous collapse.
When Judy tells her fiancee, handsome Gil Stewart (Allan Jones) that she is upset about losing the hospital and their wealthy patient Mrs. Upjohn, he produces papers to show he has just purchased a race horse named Hi-Hat for $1,500 with the last of their money. He foolishly hopes to gamble with the racehorse to win money to save their situation. Judy thinks he will "gamble away" their happiness on a longshot.
As Mrs. Upjohn leaves the sanitarium, she expresses her need for a doctor who can support her hypochondria: "I'm going to someone who understands me, I'm going to Dr. Hackenbush!...Why, I didn't know there was a thing the matter with me until I met him!" Tony (Chico Marx), Judy's friend and sanitarium chauffeur, realizes that Upjohn's financial support can rescue the hospital. He informs Mrs. Upjohn that the same Dr. Hugo Z. Hackenbush (Groucho Marx) of Palmville, Florida is arriving - but Hackenbush is a horse doctor veterinarian, not a human doctor.
Tony's plan is to make Hackenbush chief of staff, therefore persuading Mrs. Upjohn (with her romantic attachment to him) to remain and to loan the sanitarium money to keep it from closing down. Judy has no choice but to go along with the plan. Tony doesn't know who Hackenbush is, but declares: "If she wants a Hackenabuss, she's gonna get a Hackenabuss."
Dr. Hackenbush receives Tony's telegram at his sanitarium for small animals and horses, offering to have him come up and take care of the Standish Sanitarium and Mrs. Upjohn. Then he remembers her: "Ah, Emily, she never forgot that hayride." He leaves his veterinary practice, and gives one last pill to an ailing horse: "Take one of those every half mile and call me if there's any change."
A takeover is planned by evil Mr. Morgan (Douglas Dumbrille), the owner of the nearby racetrack and hotel, with his accomplice Whitmore (Leonard Ceeley). Morgan confronts Judy with a final offer - give up the sanitarium immediately and receive a $5,000 payment, or wait one more month until the mortgage forecloses and receive nothing. Just then, an excited Mrs. Upjohn arrives with the gleeful news that Dr. Hackenbush has arrived, and she is willing to support the sanitarium in any way she can at least for the next month.
Hackenbush arrives with his bags at the sanitarium, hands them to Whitmore and tips him with a dime, but is informed:
This is Mr. Whitmore, our business manager.
Hackenbush (apologizing): Oh, I'm terribly sorry. Here's a quarter.
Mrs. Upjohn introduces him as the new chief of staff of the sanitarium and then Hackenbush is introduced to his associates. They bow at each other many times and then identify themselves:
Johnson, Edgar Hospital, '1918,' Franco, Johns Hopkins, '22', Wilmerding, Mayo Brothers, '24.'
Hackenbush (following their example): Dodge Brothers, late '29'.
Hackenbush describes his education, background and experience.
- His experience:
Hackenbush: At the age of fifteen I got a job in a drugstore filling prescriptions.
Whitmore (skeptically): Don't you have to be twenty-one to fill prescriptions?
Hackenbush: Well, uh, that's for grown-ups. I just fill them for children.
- His medical training:
Hackenbush: Oh, well, uh, to begin with I took four years at Vassar.
Mrs. Upjohn: Vassar? But that's a girls' college.
Hackenbush: I found that out the third year. I'd've been there yet, but I went out for the swimming team.
Hackenbush also admits that his medical experiences were unexciting except during the flu epidemic:
Whitmore: Ah, and what happened?
Hackenbush: I got the flu.
Hackenbush hands a large horse-size pill to Mrs. Upjohn when she asks for her medicine:
Whitmore: That looks like a horse pill to me.
Hackenbush: Oh, you've taken them before? (To Mrs. Upjohn) You have nothing to worry about. The last patient I gave one of those to won the Kentucky Derby.
Whitmore (after examining the large pill): Isn't it awfully large for a pill?
Hackenbush: Say, you're awfully large for a pill yourself.
With the sound of a racetrack bugle, Hackenbush departs.
At the races, Stuffy (Harpo Marx), Morgan's horse jockey, wins a race he was supposed to lose. He hides in Hi-Hat's stable to avoid being beaten. He tells Tony, who is also a racetrack ice-cream vendor when he isn't chauffeuring for Judy, that he has been fired, signaling the firing by striking a 'fiery' match.
Tony suggests to Gil that Stuffy be Hi-Hat's jockey and caretaker, but Gil is out of money. He cannot even afford to pay the feed bill when the sheriff (Robert Middlemass) arrives to collect. In a brilliant sightgag, they transform a $5 dollar bill into $15 in a clever ruse of pickpocketing and prevent the horse from being foreclosed. Stuffy gets caught making his final reach into the sheriff's pocket, and he makes the most of it, taking the sheriff's sock off his leg.

Well it is over for one more year. I hope all had fun and put a few birds in the freezer. I had a good time with old hunting partners and met some new ones. This was a slow year, but never made a trip without bring birds home . Now is the time to make new wish lists, chase some desert dogs and thank God for another year. I'll be fishing with the granddaughters as soon as it warms up and making some good memories for the rocking chair days. Turning 65 today and have to work, but that's OK as I'm healthy and have a job. Tonight is cake and ice cream with the grandkids, so that will be fun. Be safe and may all your dreams come about.

It means you need to read more on what attacks work with ipw2200....
I was following the How-to on WEP when I came to the command and recieved this message..
Not good right?Code:bt ~ # aireplay-ng -1 0 -e Wireless1 -a 00:14:6C:7F:1E:86 -h 00:11:22:33:44:55 eth1 IPW2200-sysfs does not support non-data injection, so attack 1 is not supported
It means you need to read more on what attacks work with ipw2200....
Remember, Friends Dont Let Friends Choose Signatures.
i remember seeing a post on how to do injection attacks with an ipw2200.
But i didn't feel like recompiling the kernel that day so i kept using my d-link usb sticks.
Its quite handy to keep multiple wireless cards attached to a system and i'd recommend it even if you have a built in injection capable.
You never know when you might need to throw your card into monitoring mode during a routine session.
Also: 1 modified bt2 cd + 1 usb card + nearly any laptop handy = mobile wifi security audit platform.

Reindeer food is a lovely gift to have on hand incase little ones pop in before Christmas. It's easy to make too - just a mix of glitter and oatmeal.
There are loads of Reindeer poems around on the internet, this year I've chosen the following one (printed out on white paper and then cut out).
Sprinkle on the lawn at night
The moon will make it sparkle bright
As Santa's reindeer fly and roam
This will guide them to your home.
Then attach to a brown paper bag and cut out a little felt reindeer, christmas tree or star to place beneath. The reindeer was actually a template out of my Japanese craft magazine (current issue of Cotton Time) but in the past I've downsized kids Christmas colouring in images to use as my template - there are loads available online if you don't have a book at home.
Wish me luck - I'm making 26 of these bags for Bella's class this year :O))

Bloomberg highlights a possible loophole in the Affordable Care Act that could undermine the viability of the healthcare exchanges:
"Can an employer pay chronically ill workers to leave the company health plan and get insurance somewhere else?"
"The potential loophole in the Affordable Care Act could threaten the viability of Obamacare marketplaces if they get the most expensive-to-insure workers while companies keep healthier employees on their own plans. Some mid-sized companies that self-insure—that is, they pay the cost of employees' medical claims directly—are at least talking about the idea."
"Such a practice may be illegal, and it might leave business owners open to employment discrimination claims [but] the fact that companies are even savvy enough to [consider the possibility of sending their sickest employees to the exchanges] reflects how much executives have grappled with the rising costs of medical insurance over the past decade."
Attorney John L. Barlament says he "wouldn't be shocked at all" if some employers try it next year. "Once [the Obamacare marketplaces] really get rolling, I could definitely see this happening in 2015."Save to Favorites

2000 Pontiac Grand Am wont start after alternator replacement
I know this is an offroad forum, but I know I'll get the best response here.
My friend has a 2000 grand am, V6, that had a starter go back. His brother pulled the starter without disconnecting the battery, and MAY have shorted the wires out. We put the starter back in, car ran great for a day of short trips, then it killed a battery.
We hooked it up to a MAC tools battery / alternator tester, and it sad bad diodes in the alternator. Today we put an alternator in it, jumped it and it ran for about 10 minutes, then died. Jumped it again, and tested it again and it came back "Good diodes, low reg." for the alternator test.
We put a different battery in it, started it, it ran great, still came back low reg. on the alternator. Put the old battery back in, put the good battery back in my truck, ready to call it a night, we tried to start his car and now it's getting NO POWER to the starter. When you turn the key the dash lights do like they would when you start it, but starter doesn't turn over.
The plan is to take the alternator back to the store tomorrow and ask for a different one (refurbished parts), but now that it won't even start that won't do us much good. Any suggestions?

Ex-KGB dusts off Cold War prize: UK spy Blake at 90
By Timothy Heritage
MOSCOW (Reuters) - Russia wheeled out one of its treasured Cold War trophies on Tuesday, publishing a rare interview with a 90-year-old British double agent who recalled sharing martinis outside Moscow with fellow spies in their KGB retirement.
Nearly five decades after he escaped from a British jail and was smuggled to East Berlin in a camper van in one of the classic cloak-and-dagger stories of the 20th century, George Blake lives quietly in the Moscow suburbs with his wife Ida.
"These are the happiest years of my life, and the most peaceful," Blake, who goes by the Russian name Georgy Ivanovich, said in the interview, published in the Russian government newspaper Rossiskaya Gazeta ahead of his 90th birthday.
"When I worked in the West, I always had the risk of exposure hanging over me. That is how it was. Here I feel free," said Blake, who lives on a pension from ex-KGB.
A photograph accompanying the interview showed the once-dashing agent, seated in an armchair, a dog on his lap. He is balding and has a grey beard.
Far from taking the opportunity to voice regret about his past, Blake entered into a discussion about whether he was a figure of historical importance.
"Looking back on my life, everything seems logical and natural," he said, describing himself as happy and lucky.
"I have known how to adapt well wherever life has taken me, even when I was in the (Wormwood) Scrubs prison. I always try to find something positive ... I inherited it from my mother. She was always very positive, optimistic, always in a good mood." Continued...

Convincing evidence that Munich is now the automotive Valhalla.
The suspension tuning is specific to the U.S. model, giving the car a superb compromise between body-motion control and comfort. Yet it pulls 0.86 g on the skidpad—only 0.03 g less than a Corvette. The M3 is necessarily firm, yes, but it handles pavement breaks with amazing poise. The tires thwop over lateral bumps and cracks, but very little impact makes it through to the driver, and what does lacks the sharp edge you might expect from such a dedicated sportster. On really bad surfaces, the impacts come through mainly to the seats, sort of like a kid kicking the back of your seat at the movies, only less annoying.
For such a potent machine, the controls are particularly genteel. The higher-torque-capacity Euro M3 five speed is employed, but like other 3-series manual gearboxes, it uses automatic-transmission fluid. So this car's shifts are as light and silky first thing on a cold morning as they are in the mild-mannered 325i. And if the clutch and brake-pedal effort is a trifle heavier in the M3 than in other 3-series, a strong clutch and ferocious braking performance are ample pay back. Stops from 70 mph take only 158 feet. Even the steering, which offers a fair bit of self-centering tug in fast curves and has a firm feel to it at all speeds, will yield to the modest arm strength of your average couch potato.
It's this sense of refinement, of every-day versatility, that makes the M3 exceptional. It's as nice to drive on a leisurely Sunday morning lakeside dawdle as it is to rip through a series of mountain zigzags. But when you're alone in the M3 and the fun police are all on doughnut patrol, something in your brain clicks over. You leave the last stoplight with a 4500-rpm clutch drop. The tires light up, spinning in unison under management of the 25-percent limited-slip diff. In two seconds you need second gear, and the tach calls for third barely three seconds later. All the while you hear a beautiful angry yowl from somewhere beneath the suave veneer of the BMW. You swing into the first bend and the nose swivels like the turret on an M1. The wheel could be on a precision lathe; nothing is lost to compliance. The corner tightens, you dial in more lock, and the nose responds in direct proportion. Now you're going too fast, so you ease off the throttle. The car loses speed and kind of hunkers down, but there's no change in heading unless the front end was already pushing, in which case the line tightens. If you are going way too fast, the car will rotate as the back eases out.
Exploring the M3's limits takes dedication; they're disconcertingly high. So high that you'll be pushing your luck on public roads. But as we know from riding with Joachim Winkelhock, the British Touring Car Champion, as well as from less adventurous exploits of our own, there is a whole handling spectrum available to M3 owners in which oversteer balanced with the wheel and throttle promises great entertainment.
If you're not likely to take long trips with adults stuffed in back, then this car could be the one to buy if you want only one. Its all-around versatility goes a long way to meet the frequently conflicting needs of the modern driver. Somehow it manages to blend a sense of upscale privilege and refinement with flashing good looks, spellbinding performance, and refreshing integrity.
The M3, it has to be said, is a car very near the top of our wish list.
One of my most vivid behind-the wheel memories is of the Euro M3 I sampled last winter in Germany. The route I chose ticked off more than 200 kilometers, but the 282-hp Bimmer and I made it in a little over an hour, clipping along the autobahn at triple digit speeds. My tape-recorded notes sounded like bulletins from the front: "Thrilling acceleration. Telegraphic steering. A near-total absence of brake dive. Delicate, but urgent." Last night I sampled the American-spec M3. Only the saving bleeps of my radar detector hinted at any difference. —Martin Padgett Jr.
I live in Detroit, and this is a lousy car for the city. That's the city's fault, not the car's. The M3's terrific six-cylinder begs to be wound to the redline in every gear, and the suspension seems happiest when all four wheels are drifting. Try to use such potential on crowded streets and your license will be gone before your third drive to work. So if you're an urban dweller and you fall for an M3, prepare to buy a race track, or five miles of curving country road, or at least a local judge. Otherwise, you're in for unremitting, frustrating self-restraint. —Don Schroeder
BMW drivers run the danger of being perceived as status exhibitionists. The reason? The pricey 325is is a nice coupe, but a $14,000-cheaper Eagle Talon TSi AWD can outrun it. Not so with the M3. The only car faster and less expensive (and only by a few hundred dollars) is the Mazda RX-7. The M3 approaches it in acceleration and handling, and you would probably want to call a twisty road duel between these two cars a draw. The M3's the quickest real four-seater you can get for its $36,620 price. No status hazard in that. — Phil Berg

Matilda Bone (2000)
by Karen Cushman
No current Talk conversations about this book.
Juvenile fiction highlighting 14 yr old bonesetter's apprentice Matilda Bone.
Medieval medicine is highlighted, featuring elements such as bloodletting, bonesetting, foul smelling medical cures and frightening surgeries of the time
a wonderful book introducing the middle ages to children but, really, to anyone. Cushman does a good job of animating the everyday life of a person in medieval England and has truly done her research on just about every aspect of medieval life but focused on medicine and religion.
surprisingly, this book teaches critical thinking and confronts overly pious and zealous attitudes with enthusiasm. Matilda Bone was raised in a minor noble's manor by a priest who is delivered to a bonesetter named Peg who lives on Blood and Bone Alley in a small village. at first, she is disdainful to the extreme of all the lower class people who work for a living thinking that prayers to saints and deference paid to haughty personages like Master Theobald, the local physician who really knows nothing, is the only proper way to live your life and solve problems. she eventully comes round to see that knowledge and work like Peg and the other villagers do is not unworthy and that her mentor, Father Leufedus, was not the font of infallible information.
a great book for kids to learn about the middle ages, living life humbly and gratefully, class prejudice, and thinking for yourself.
I liked this, though I found it fairly heavy-handed. Young Matilda has been raised by a priest to be humble but learned in Latin, to be obedient and not to question, to be a priggish pain in the tush, in other words. She's suddenly sent to live with Red Peg the Bonesetter, and oh, how Matilda hates this new life where Latin isn't important, and God is about love instead of punishment, and where the unschooled and the ignorant help people in distress. Heavy-handed, but sweet and well-researched and worth reading.
I like Karen Cushman a lot, she has a feeling for the telling details that allow her to tell a lot of story in a few words. The narration was engaging and the story was terrific and I enjoyed it very much.
This was a very niche-specific book. The young girl Matilda becomes an apprentice to a bonesetter and must learn the ways of Red Peg, despite her devout and pious training. The religious undertone was very off-putting for a reader and those without Christian background or interest may not like Matilda because of her constant religious speech and deference to saints. The story was written very well and had nice inserts of humor, but it moved very slowly without any major altering events driving the story.

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0440418224, Paperback)Orphaned Matilda is not at all pleased when she arrives at Blood and Bone Alley to become an assistant to Red Peg the Bonesetter. She is a religious, well-educated girl who can't picture herself doing dirty chores or helping sickly patients.
Each day is very different from her former quiet life. Matilda's not used to being around so many people who are coming and going, laughing and eating. Not one of them seems interested in prayer or study.
Self-centered Matilda thinks no one understands her. But Peg does, and gives her time to get used to this new way of life and teaches her through kindness and friendship. Matilda is as surprised as anyone when she begins seeing the world around her in a different way.
(retrieved from Amazon Thu, 12 Mar 2015 18:00:16 -0400)
Fourteen-year-old Matilda, an apprentice bonesetter and practitioner of medicine in a village in medieval England, tries to reconcile the various aspects of her life, both spiritual and practical.

Being physically active can improve your health in a number of ways, including:
Adults should engage in at least two-and-a-half hours of moderate physical activity each week, or at least one hour and 15 minutes of vigorous physical activity each week. Each activity should be done for at least 10 minutes at a time, spreading out activities over three or more days for best results. For example, three days of vigorous physical activity for 30 minutes each day, or five days of moderate activity for 30 minutes each day, would both meet physical activity recommendations. Try to alternate between moderate and vigorous physical activities.

O'Reilly Factor: Women's Media Center Shout-Out to NCAA
March 4, 2010Last week, the NCAA -- the major governing body of college sports -- yanked a Focus on the Family banner ad from its website due to the group's homophobic agenda, which conflicts with the NCAA's policy of inclusion. WMC President Jehmu Greene appeared on the O'Reilly factor last night to discuss and opened with "The NCAA has bigger balls than the NFL." Couldn't have said it better! Greene was unflappable, poised and noted that the NCAA has an audience of young people "who are diverse, young people who are tolerant, young people who will not stand for Focus on the Family's agenda" and that it does not "have any place in the Super Bowl, or as the NCAA said, in basketball." O'Reilly argued in support of Focus on the Family – and in a warped comparison said that he would "defend" her against people who say "Ms. Greene wants a holocaust on babies" by countering that they can't shut down her opinion. Not only is this comparison vile and offensive, and straying from the point, it is also HYPOCRITICAL. How quickly we forget, Mr. O'Reilly, the summer of 2002! Remember when O'Reilly blasted Pepsi for choosing rapper Ludacris for its advertising? O'Reilly protested until – guess what? – HE GOT THE AD PULLED! Why is it OK to shut down Pepsi's ad BUT not Focus on the Family's ad? "No Spin Zone" indeed. But wait, there's more! A frequent spewer of offensive gibberish, Dennis Miller put in his two cents after the segment was over and chimed in with a snarky closing sentiment on Greene, "Who would have thought Big Brother would come in the guise of the selectively righteous sistah." "I agree with you," said O'Reilly. Um, WHAT Dennis Miller? You AGREE, Bill O'Reilly? Who are the "Pinheads" here? The Women's Media Center was founded to fight sexism and bias in the media and we will continue to highlight such glaring and offensive coverage until ALL women are treated fairly both behind and in front of the camera. This brief exchange highlights the long journey ahead when it comes to challenging bias in the media, and unfortunately social media outlets were filled with offensive comments following the segment as well. Viewers referred to Greene as "Aunt Jemima" and one conservative blog even stooped so low as to refer to her as "the killer whale… Shamu Greene." Immature. Shallow. Check out PWVer Courtney Martin's insightful analysis of "The Fox Disconnect," inspired by her own appearance on the Factor and the intolerant reaction of its viewers.

The Tribune's July 17 online edition contained two interesting articles about the Utah Attorney General's Office and the man who runs it, Attorney General John Swallow.
First, the A.G.'s office has agreed, almost two full years after filing criminal charges against Marc Sessions Jenson, that it should no longer handle that prosecution ("A.G.'s office stepping aside from Marc Jensen case").
At the same time, the Utah House of Representatives has appointed a nine-member panel to investigate the activities of the attorney general himself ("Nine lawmakers chosen in special session may decide Swallow's fate").
Sadly, as early as the spring of 2012, discussions were held in the A.G.'s office with then-candidate Swallow about the wisdom of that office prosecuting Jenson when the relationship between Swallow, then the A.G.'s chief deputy, and Johnson was already known.
It was no secret that Swallow and his boss at the time, Attorney General Mark Shurtleff, had spent considerable time with Jenson at a luxury resort and had solicited and received campaign contributions, either directly or indirectly, from Jenson, all while Jenson was under investigation on one matter and was serving a plea in abeyance on another.
Over the objection of staff in the A.G.'s office, the order came down to continue that prosecution, not because it was sound legal strategy, but because Swallow was facing a tough opponent from his own party at the upcoming Republican state convention and that the information about Jenson could damage Swallow's chances.
One can easily imagine how that convention would have turned out had the delegates known what we all know now.
The House investigative panel assigned to investigate Swallow as well as, for that matter, the elected county attorneys looking into his conduct, the soon-to-be appointed special prosecutor, the FBI and, probably, the Utah State Bar will have a chance to look into how some of these campaign contributions came about.
It's a part of our American political culture that people, or organizations, donate dollars to candidates regularly. Most expect something in return.
For example, the gun lobby donates generously to a campaign, and coincidentally, the A.G.'s office spends hundreds of thousands of tax dollars to insure that Utahns are free to carry guns in schools and other places, and that no entity can restrict that right. That was a good investment for the gun lobby.
The attorney general's campaign war chest has long been filled with donations from multi-level marketing companies, groups holding seminars on "How to make a fortune in real estate" and other get-rich-quick schemes. As long as there is no investigation by the A.G.'s office, though, everyone is happy except the state Division of Consumer Protection.
But what happens when there is a prosecution? What happens when that St. George businessman, that ski resort developer or that guy who promises to bail us out when we are upside down on our home loan do get prosecuted? They cry foul, of course.
For more than a decade, anyone hoping to avoid investigation or prosecution by the Utah Attorney General's Office knew exactly what to do. Apparently, John Swallow didn't get the memo.
Greg Skordas is a Salt Lake City attorney in private practice and a former chief deputy of the Salt Lake County Attorney's Office, where he worked as a prosecutor from 1987 until 1995.

Nationwide push underway to recycle batteries
SAN FRANCISCO (KGO) — Everything from cell phones to digital music players rely on batteries these days and what consumers do with those batteries when they are no good anymore, can make a big difference. San Francisco is considered a leader when it comes to recycling just about anything. Now a nationwide push is underway to get the rest of the country to catch up:

Basically its best to leave it and get back unless you have a fire extinguisher (which sometimes doesn't help anyways, especially electrical shorts), and you can somehow remove the jumper cables since they will feed the fire and set fire to anything they touch.
While I understand your points, and it's my own personal choice and clearly probably not shared by many. I'll take the burns to save my car if it's possible to save.
At the very least if the battery is shorted and the cables are attached you can yank hard on the cables from the middle or other end. Obviously it's not normally a good idea, but if sparks are flying, yanking the cable is better then leaving it hooked up.
My main point was some quick decisive action could have potentially helped prevent the fire. Obviously a shirt won't put out an engine bay fire that's roaring as that one obviously did. But again perhaps some quick decisive action in putting it out immediately when it's just starting and small could prevent it from growing to uncontrollable.
Clearly if the entire engine bay is on fire I will not be removing my shirt and smothering or beating flames.

[PREVIEW: SEC Women] After the Pac-10 with No. 1 UCLA and Stanford and the ACC with five teams in the top 10 rankings, the other conference to watch is the SEC, where Florida and Texas A&M checked in at No. 6 and No. 8 in the Soccer America preseason rankings.
Florida narrowly edged Texas A&M as the favorite to claim the 2014 conference
title after they shared the 2013 regular-season title by posting identical 9-2-0 league records.
The Gators return all 11 starters from last season, including 2013 Soccer America Freshman
of the Year Savannah Jordan and defender Christen Westphal, another Soccer America Preseason All-American. A big plus will be the return of midfielder Havana Solaun, who was injured late in the 2013 season and missed the NCAA Tournament.
Texas A&M returns 10 starters, five of whom were 2013 All-SEC
selections, including first-teamers Shea Groom (another Soccer America Preseason All-American) and Meghan Streight and
second-teamers Jordan Day, Leigh Edwards and Kelley Monogue.
SEC teams -- Florida, Texas A&M, Kentucky, South Carolina, Arkansas and Ole Miss -- earned NCAA Tournament bids in 2013 and all six won their first-round games. South Carolina, which is No. 25 in
the Soccer America preseason rankings, is third and Kentucky in fourth in the 2014 SEC preseason coaches' poll. Arkansas, which advanced to the round of 16 in its first NCAA Tournament appearance, is
No. 8, while Ole Miss is tied for No. 9 with Missouri.
The odd team out was Georgia, whose No. 43 in the RPI rankings was tied with the 2007 Arizona State team for the highest of any
school to ever be left out of the NCAA Tournament. This year, the Bulldogs are projected to finish at No. 7, behind Tennessee and LSU, which led all NCAA programs with four players at the 2014
FIFA U-20 Women's World Cup (Emma Fletcher and Jordane Carvery, represented Canada, while Megan Lee and Lily Alfeld played for New Zealand).
Auburn, Alabama, Vanderbilt and Mississippi State rounded out
the field.

The relaxed atmosphere,wonderful building, very helpful, polite staff -welcoming and it was a treat to hae someone able to speak our language. We took our dog who loved it and was made very welcome! Breakfast was very good value and we loved the jacuzzi on he roof!
quiet yet central location
Freindly helpful staff. Good location. Near restaurants. In the old centre. There were no windows in the bedroom.
the room was without window
Would class it as a two star. Roof terrace out of use.
A pleasant, friendly, clean hotel. In a good location. Breakfast was not on the roof terrace & the jacuzzi also on the roof was not open. This was what initially drew me to the hotel, so was a little disappointing. Noise in the hotel corridors & stairs seemed to echo around all the rooms.
The room was great, the building interesting and the position close to all the old parts of town was great. The jacuzzi on the roof terrace overlooking the cathedral was a real treat. Not enough loo roll!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Charming ambience to the hotel. Good breakfast. Neither of our bedside lights worked. We reported this twice but nothing was done. The ill conceived layout of the room with a feature bath along one wall, meant the TV was alongside the bed and you had to crane your neck to view.
Location Dirty - Cold - No restaurant facilities
Attractive building, nicely decorated, very friendly helpful staff Room smelled of damp and slightly of drains

Nikon Coolpix P7800 review: Competitive price, competitive performanceBy Kevin Carter - Thursday October 17 2013 Sensor Review
As the follow up to last year's high-grade compact for enthusiasts,the new P7800 is an intriguing addition to the range. While it adopts much of the same specification as the earlier P7700, including the 1/1.7-inch type 12-Mpix sensor, 28-200mm zoom, part-alloy body and manual controls, it's the first of its type from Nikon to feature an electronic viewfinder. Read on to see how it performed our labs.
The Coolpix 7800 is this years update the firm's high-end compact stills camera featuring a relatively small 1/1.7-inch BSI-CMOS sensor and stabilized 28-200mm f/2.0-4.0 equivalent collapsible zoom. It replaces the flagship Coolpix 7700 and remains similar in specification bar for the inclusion of a 921K dot resolution electronic viewfinder. That model was the first to drop the cramped optical viewfinder of its forerunners, and include a fully articulated 3-inch rear LCD.
The new model sees a return of the finder, albeit an electronic one with a 100-percent coverage but drops the rear control dial of the P7700. The rest of the body and the control layout remain unchanged including the pop-up flash, located immediately in front of the EVF.
With nearly all the key specifications remaining untouched, including the processor, video capabilities and expansion accessories, including the WU-1a Wireless Adapter, the $549 P7800 looks like a promising option for candid and documentary style photography.
Key specifications:
- 12.2Mpix 1/1.7-inch type BSI CMOS Sensor
- EXPEED C2 Image Processor
- 28-200mm (35mm Equivalent) optical zoom Lens-Shift VR (Image Stabilization)
- 3.0" 921k-Dot Vari-Angle LCD Monitor
- 921k-Dot Electronic Viewfinder
- Full HD 1080p Video Recording at 30 fps
- Full Manual Control and RAW File Support Compatible with WU-1a Wireless Adapter

Nikon P7800
Both the Nikon P and Canon G series cameras offer a level of portability that requires small sensors with their inevitable limitations. If one does not need that kind of portability, there is plenty of better (bigger, heavier and more expensive) cameras on the market. That said, the overall quality and feature sets of these cameras are unbelievable given their compact size. I am a happy owner of a Canon G12 as a go-everywhere camera, plus M43 and APS-C systems for regular work. With judicious shooting and Raw processing, I make top quality prints up to 16x20" with the G12. I am buying the Nikon P7800 because it offers a more than decent EVF, maintains the fully articulated LCD and its slow writing speed is not an issue for me. In its own domain, the P7800 is a truly excellent camera.

How To Make Money From Art: Make Art That Simply Takes Money
Conceptual artist Caleb Larsen shares thoughts on how to make money from normally valueless things.
At the beginning of the year we picked up on Caleb Larson's thesis project for his 2009 MFA from the Rhode Island School Of Design, a collection of works around the manufacture of value titled The Value Of Nothing. The most stand-out item from this project was titled "A Tool To Deceive And Slaughter," featured in our article Transient Artwork Continually Sells Itself On eBay – a nondescript box that makes money for the buyer, simply by automatically beginning a new auction for itself after purchase.
We're now seeing Caleb's work emerge again in blogs covering innovation in art like The Post Family, displaying his full thoughts in a video that hints at how value is created from seemingly superfluous or unnecessary experiences. In the case of A Tool To Deceive And Slaughter, what would normally be a black acrylic box and some Ethernet cable is sold continuously on eBay every week, valuable because of a combination of the code written to automate it and the story Caleb places behind it – it can be said that the value of owning "a sculpture that exists in eternal transactional flux" and being able to share that experience with others is in fact equivalent to the multiple thousands of dollars people pay for it each week.
To illustrate further, Caleb explains another piece of his – $10000 Sculpture (in progress) – below:
All my projects are playful experiments in how to make money from art. …For one exhibition I just took a dollar bill acceptor and installed that into a wall. So it just simply takes people's money.
[There are] no clues to inform the viewer as to the nature of the piece. Nor does it suggest what might happen if they were to insert a dollar bill. The title is the only thing that provides any insight into conceptual workings.
[As an artist] you can sell your work – or, you can just have your work take people's money.

text: I have never shot the 22/45 but from talking to people that have, it is a nice plinking, backpack type firearm but some have complained about accuracy. I would not think the 22/45 would be in the same class as the Mark series. And having held one a few times, it has a cheap feel to it. Just my opinion and what I have heard.


text: It's been reported that you can buy a 4 tuner Tivo, connect a Mini to it, then disconnect the 4 tuner Tivo to gain the capability of using the Mini in a household of 2 tuner Premieres. I'm soon to be OTA only, and I have two 2-tuner Premieres and an TivoHD lifetimed. Using the Mini for streaming from 2 tuner boxes is of interest to me. Have you tried it? If you did, how long have you had the 4 tuner Tivo disconnected? Besides not being able to hijack a tuner to watch live tv, have you noticed any issues?

Kukla's Korner Hockey
Talking Red Fisher As He Celebrates Turning 84
by Paul on 08/23/10 at 10:11 AM ET
Comments (0)
from Mike Boone of the Montreal Gazette,
If Red Fisher were writing this story about himself, it might start like this:
"Come with me now to the moments following Game 6 of the Stanley Cup conference semifinal. A guy was asked whether Jaroslav Halak's 52-save performance was the best goaltending he'd seen in the playoffs ..."
The guy was Red Fisher. And everyone in the Bell Centre press box was asking the Living Legend of Sports Journalism to compare what we'd just seen to what he's seen since 1955.
To deliver his authoritative assessments, WikiRed, the human hockey Google, plumbs the database in his head: about 6,000 game stories, 17 of the Canadiens' 24 Stanley Cups, including five in his first five years on the beat, 26 Hall of Fame Habs.
You can watch hockey highlights on YouTube. You can read bulletins on Twitter. You can listen to sports talk radio.
But to contextualize the bleu-blanc-rouge, you have to read Red.

Best Of :: Arts & Entertainment
Long a resident of San Antonio, Texas honky-tonk titan Johnny Bush turned his attention this year to the city of his birth and raising. In collaboration with former Chronicle music critic Rick Mitchell, Bush both authored his memoirs (Whiskey River [Take My Mind]: The True Story of Texas Honky-Tonk) and a Bayou City-themed album called Kashmere Gardens Mud. Neither Bush nor his hometown emerges from these works unscathed. The singer is frank about his sexcapades and addictions in his book, and he doesn't sugarcoat his childhood in the Kashmere Gardens 'hood on the CD's title track either. "The southern wind blows through Kashmere Gardens," opens Bush in his leathery baritone, "With the smell of Pasadena in the air / Nothing good ever grew in Kashmere Gardens / Only bitter weeds and flowers of despair." Elsewhere, Bush does celebrate his hometown's music — the album ranges from hard country to Cajun music to blues to mariachi to gospel to country-folk — and it features works by area players and songwriters such as Calvin Owens, Jesse Dayton, Brian Thomas, Dale Watson, Townes Van Zandt and onetime Houstonian Willie Nelson, who also sings. In the end, Kashmere Gardens Mud stands as one of the finest warts-and-all portrayals this city has ever spawned.
Intense and passionate, Luther Chakurian, a mainstay of Masquerade Theatre for nearly a decade, embodies this multitalented musical company with highly stylized, brooding performances that grab you by the throat and take your breath away. Starring in three of the group's most intriguing recent shows, Jane Eyre, Sweeney Todd and Parade, he emitted dark sexiness as troubled Victorian Rochester, scared the bejesus out of us as avenging demon barber Todd and personified the terrified, yet innocent, accused child molester Leo Franks. Chakurian has a softer side, too. Witness this year's dance-happy Cornelius in Hello, Dolly and his knuckle-dragging, gnat-picking Wickersham Brother in Seussical. Blessed with a most idiosyncratic singing voice, edgy and coarse as if his tonsils have been dipped in sulfuric acid, he soars in the contemporary pop anthems that the current crop of composers is so fond of (like Wildhorn's Jekyll and Hyde). Yet, he also brings a refreshingly different, masculine sound to romantic ballads. Chakurian's superb Sweeney, vengeful, full of wrath, as focused as a heat-seeking ICBM, was Houston's most distinctive portrayal of 2007 — beautifully sung, impeccably acted, wicked as hell.
There are numerous actresses who gave radiant performances this year, all of them at least a generation, if not two, younger than our winning pick. But our heart goes out to theater veteran, and consummate pro, Jeannette Clift George. Playing obsessed, drab Carrie Watts in Horton Foote's masterpiece The Trip to Bountiful, George oozed humanity, compassion and humility as she fought her doughy son and unsympathetic daughter-in-law to realize her dream of visiting her family's Gulf Coast farm. Wily trooper that she is — and has been for decades — George ran with Foote's overflowing, impressionistic drama as if an Olympian; she didn't even get winded. What Foote didn't supply, George showed. A mesmerizing, distinctive stage presence, always vividly alive on stage, she brightens the theater and gives tasty lessons to all her younger colleagues, as she so bountifully demonstrates for those lucky spectators in the audience.
Texas Gallery manages to be both blue-chip and hip. Opening in 1971, they were the first to show artists like Chuck Close, Brice Marden, Ed Rusche and William Wegman in Houston. They've shown Lynda Benglis since 1972. Some 30 years ago, they exhibited her bronze cast of a double-headed dildo and put an image of it on the postcards they mailed out for the show, a pretty ballsy (so to speak) move at the time. Today they show legends like Robert Rauschenberg, as well as Houston artists like Francesca Fuchs, Rachel Hecker and David McGee. Outside of the business, Texas Gallery owner Fredericka Hunter and director Ian Glennie founded ArtPix, a nonprofit established to present and archive contemporary art in a digital format. DVDs and CD- and DVD-ROMs from their series present everything from contemporary art from New Zealand to performance art from the '60s to an interactive tour of the Edward James surrealist garden in Mexico.
Clint Willour is everywhere — but quietly. His intense involvement in the Houston art scene is about the art rather than his ego. Curator of the Galveston Arts Center, Willour not only puts together great shows at his own institution, he has curated and juried hundreds of exhibitions all over Houston, Texas, and the world. Willour is at every art opening worth seeing. He visits studios and volunteers his time for myriad committees and boards. Noted for his keen eye and dry sense of humor, Willour is a trusted advisor to all kinds of people in the art world. He's also an enthusiastic advocate for young and emerging artists, giving thoughtful, insightful portfolio reviews everywhere, from FotoFest's biennial "Meeting Place" to the People's Republic of China. Willour, who was named Texas Patron of the Year in 2006 by the Art League Houston, is also an astute collector — operating on a budget. Nevertheless, he generously donates to institutions. Over the years Willour has given more that 1,000 artworks to the MFAH; bought for modest amounts of money at the time, they're now valued at $1.2 million.
Pipilotti Rist's video work is lush, elegant, absurd — and hard to sum up. But "Wishing for Synchronicity," organized by the CAMH's Paola Morsiani, created a riveting and fabulous retrospective of the Swiss artist's work. While most video art ends up being shown in or on a black box, Rist's show took over the entire main floor of the CAMH, creating a city-like environment filled with video. There were sprawling video projections and small, intimate works. Hypnotic footage shot in sunlit ocean spread across the corner of a carpeted space; a video projector rotated, spilling images over walls and ceiling and through lace curtains; a miniature video screen inset in the floor showed a tiny woman yelling "I am a worm and you are a flower" in four languages. Fans of video art and the newly converted came in droves, over and over again.

Senior was given the task by the agency's joint owner, French advertising empire Publicis Groupe, and put in charge of the combined SSF Group.He had immediate impact when the agency won the account to handle the Labour party's advertising at the next general election with its slogan "not flash, just Gordon".
Senior co-founded Fallon 10 years ago. The agency has been responsible for some of the most memorable ads of recent years, including Cadbury's drumming gorilla, the Skoda car made out of cake and the colourful ads for Sony Bravia TVs.
One of the agency's key creatives, Juan Cabral, also features in this year's MediaGuardian 100.
But Saatchi & Saatchi has become better known for the accounts it has lost, rather than the ones it has won, including Carlsberg and much of its Toyota account. It is Senior's job to put that right.
Senior said the Labour win was a "seminal moment" for the agency that famously helped Mrs Thatcher get elected in 1979 with the "Labour isn't working" ads that helped turn Maurice and Charles Saatchi into household names.
The SSF Group didn't just win the advertising account; it also bagged Spencer Livermore, Gordon Brown's director of political strategy, who quit this year to become its new senior strategist.
One of adland's star performers, Fallon was crowned agency of the year by Campaign magazine and Senior was runner-up in its top 10 advertising chief executives, pipped to the number one spot by Bartle Bogle Hegarty's Nigel Bogle.
So what is it about Senior that is so impressive? Over to Labour party strategist Philip Gould.
"He's got enormous enthusiasm, completely infectious enthusiasm and determination. He has a relentless desire to get things moving and get things done and that's what won through in the end."
