Starring Austin Stoker, Darwin Joston, Laurie Zimmer, Nancy Loomis, Charles Cyphers
Directed by John Carpenter
Distributed by The Scream Factory
At what point do we draw the line for what counts as horror, and what does not?
Imagine with me for a moment: Imagine a poor innocent soul, having just watched a loved one slain in front of them. Imagine them hounded by a horde of faceless antagonists intent on ending them. Imagine them holing up in a small structure with a tiny band of fellow survivors and fighting with all they have to live through the night – even as the group's numbers dwindle, their attackers press on, and all hope is seemingly lost.
Now tell me – am I talking about George Romero's Night of the Living Dead, or John Carpenter's Assault on Precinct 13? Both tales are similar in structure and tone, feature death scenes that are terrifying in their own ways, and utterly pulse with dread and tension throughout their running times. And yet, while no one would begrudge Night a spot in our favorite genre, this reviewer should think that most fans would balk at labeling Assault with the beloved "h" word. Horror or not, Assault on Precinct 13 is a seminal film in Carpenter's impressive catalogue, beginning a decade long golden run of pictures that still holds up all these years later. And now, thirty-seven years after its initial release, Assault is getting a Blu-ray release in a nifty collector's edition from the good folks at Scream Factory.
Though the plot should be well-known to anyone reading this site, a brief recap: after a group of young LA thugs are unceremoniously gunned down by trigger-happy cops, the departed's fellow gang members swear a blood oath and begin raining terror down on the city. Meanwhile, young police lieutenant Bishop (Stoker) has just been handed the keys to a soon-to-be-defunct police station (actually Precinct 9, Division 13 – but whatever), just before a vanful of inmates pull up seeking brief sanctuary due to one convict's illness. In addition to the guards and inmates, the van holds one Napoleon Wilson (Joston), a cool-as-ice killer headed for death row (Carpenter fans will see in Napoleon the DNA which will eventually result in such badass Carpenter antiheroes as Snake Plissken, Jack Burton, and Jack Crow). As night falls, a distraught man races into their station, having just murdered a gang member who had gunned down his daughter earlier that day. The gang surrounds the station, cuts the power and phone lines, then proceeds to lay siege to the building, forcing cops and criminals alike to band together to fight through the night.
And guess what? Assault still works incredibly well as an intense, stylishly directed film full of strong performances and colorful characters. Though this reviewer hadn't seen the film in quite some time, I was surprised to find that it had aged incredibly well. Though the pacing is a tad slow in the opening third of the movie, Carpenter's abilities to ratchet up the tension and shock his audience were apparent in even this early effort, to say nothing of the man's wonderful, synthy musical score. While Assault may not be on par with some of his later efforts, it's still a minor classic – and a film well worth revisiting time and time again.
Following up their previous Carpenter releases, Scream Factory brings Assault on Precinct 13 to Blu with a typically impressive transfer and audio (time to trade in those old DVDs), as well as a nice package of supplemental material. Included here are two commentaries (one with Carpenter, the other with art director Tommy Lee Wallace), along with an additional track holding Carpenter's isolated musical score. Next up is a twenty-three minute long interview/Q&A session with Carpenter and Austin Stoker, recorded at the Egyptian Theatre in 2002. Two featurettes focus on Stoker and Nancy Loomis, with each discussing what led them into the business and the making of the film. Topping things off are the film's original, wonderfully damaged and grindhousey theatrical trailer ("A White-Hot Night of Hate!"), along with two radio spots and a still gallery featuring black-and-white photos and lobby cards. All in all, a solid set.
Folks, if you're a Carpenter fan, you already know that you need this for your collection. And if you're a horror fan, well – whether or not you consider Assault a genre flick or not, there's no denying that it's an intense, occasionally frightening flick that long ago heralded the coming of an indisputable Master of Horror. And all that aside – it's just a damn fine film.
It's nice to know that, all these years later – you're still pretty fancy, Wilson.

Yet another sale of an English football club to a foreign owner (Report, 29 May) - only three years after a previous sale to a Franco-Russian tycoon, who now says that he does not have the time to spend on the club. The need for restrictions on foreign ownership of football clubs to avoid, among other things, such instability as in the case of Portsmouth, promised by the world and European football governing bodies, has never been greater. Action is needed, without any further delay, to restore some integrity to football for the good of the beautiful game and the benefit of the fans.

Sorry Jane Cocking, but the world only "forgot" Somalia after inadvertently cramming countless millions of dollars of aid down the throats of the warlords and their armed henchmen (Letters, 1 June). It is all very well to say that "more aid is urgently needed", but who will administer that aid, and how will they prevent it from becoming another piece of warlord pie? These are vital questions, and many aid workers have lost their lives trying to answer them.

I was lead to believe that the reason the Romans built up a huge empire was because they did not have to waste their time learning Latin (Letters, 1 June).

While hitching at from Cambridge to Edinburgh in August 1981 I was lucky enough to be picked up at 10pm from Peterborough by a Bentley - which took me all the way to Newcastle (Letters, 2 June). Then a cold three-hour wait at the services before being picked up by a truck and watching dawn break over the Northumbria and East Lothian coast as we trundled north. A magic journey!

Dispatch logs show that deputies were alerted to a robbery at the bank just after 11 am.
A man, armed with a hammer, entered the bank.
He fled on foot, and they are actively looking for him at this time.
He is described as being heavy set, about six feet tall.
He was wearing a black ski mask.
Details are limited but we are told no one was injured.

Waterproofing Door Threshold - interior same elevation as exterior.
Got another little project I'm working on - waterproofing our patio door. We're renovating our den and want to get this taken care of quickly. Our home is circa 1960's so it's certainly dated.
The biggest issue is the threshold / sill and it certainly needs replaced. I'm just curious what my options are. There's a great photo below that shows what I'm dealing with better than I can put into words.
The concrete outside this door is a patio and it is covered but in the torrential Virginia rains it does take a tremendous beating. As the water rises and the patio drain can't keep up the water will come under the door flooding the room. We're installing channel drains to fix the bigger issue (water on the patio) but if the door were water tight in the first place we wouldn't have to deal with it.
I removed the existing threshold - which was a flimsy metallic one. This is what I'm left with. I'm a fairly capable DIYer but waterproofing and doors are not areas I have tremendous experience with.
Good, sound advice in an easy to understand fashion would be great! I'm not afraid to call in help if this is something I can't tackle on my own.
Remove that layer of concrete spilling out from the tackless.
Set a door seal product down on your base. It should wrap the door threshold and be set in a silicone caulk. It goes under the sill and up the sides of the RO 6". It should have a 90 degree lip on the back near the interior floor. The patio door will sit on that. You will apply a silicone seal under the sill as per the door manufacturers instructions.
tThis should give you a water tight seal.

This section will define and describe coastal ecosystems. Specifically, you will learn:
What is a Coastal Ecosystem?
Does a coastal ecosystem just involve the ocean? What are the components of the ocean's watershed?
Besides oceans and their beaches, a coastal ecosystem can extend for miles beyond its immediate habitat. The streams you see along the picnic areas on the Blue Ridge Parkway flow into rivers, some of which are in the Piedmont area. These rivers in turn dump into an estuary near the coast, a large river of water that mixes the freshwater of the river with saltwater from the approaching ocean. The estuary eventually finds its way to the ocean.
In short, a coastal ecosystem includes the following:
The Ocean Watershed
All of the water that drains into the ocean, whether from streams, rivers, lakes, estuaries, wetlands or groundwater, and its surrounding land make up the ocean's watershed. The section on watersheds will give you more information on what watersheds are, how they influence the main body of water and how human actions can affect them.
Ocean Chemistry
Chemistry is really important in studying water quality. When water chemistry changes, the balance of life changes. This section will tell you what the ocean is comprised of chemically and what endangers that balance.
Ocean water is much more than just water and salt; it is home to a number of chemicals and nutrients. Most of them combine to make the salt in the water. Others are present in smaller amounts to maintain the aquatic life. All of them are necessary, but in the right proportions.
A breakdown of the chemical makeup of ocean water would look like this:
Major Chemicals
Other Chemicals
Problems occur when one or more of these chemicals are out of balance with the others or in higher quantities than they are naturally. Chemical imbalance is often created by nutrient loading, caused when a foreign substance is added to a part of the ocean's watershed.
Oceans can be damaged by two types of pollution:
Why We Need Coastal Ecosystems
Besides providing those beautiful sunsets, the ocean is a source of food and recreation. Nearly everyone looks forward to that scrumptious coastal seafood, and surfers and swimmers flock to the North Carolina coast during the summer.
From another perspective, we need the ocean for its diversity of life. Some of the most beautiful species live in ocean habitats. In fact, several endangered species still inhabit oceans and the estuaries that feed them. In addition, coastal and marine environments provide several benefits to people:

Nogizaka Haruka's Secret 12
Final episode! It pretty much ends with a happy ending so no point summarizing. Highlight of the episode was Yuto and Haruka almost going straight for the home run, if they weren't careless and forgot to lock the damn doors again (or do those doors never have locks in the first place?!). That part sure got my blood pressure running up high, haha. Also, Haruka in twin pigtails was just so cute~
Overall, it's been a generally fun show to watch. It was fun watching Haruka's antics as well as Yuto's rare brand of manly male lead in a genre famous for spineless ones. I can't at all say the show has been a great one, but it was good as any to watch as a pastime. Of course, having Noto-sama in the lead does help a lot as well, hehe. Mika deserves special mention for her brand of jailbaiting fanservice, while the maids provided a good fill-in while thankfully not remaining a distraction.
There are some parts I wished the show could've explored further, I hear Nobunaga's actually god damn awesome in the original, but I still did like how they focused properly on the relationship development between them both, a good choice given that the show has a limited episode count. Admittedly, even the drama was a bit stale at times, but thankfully it never manages to turn obnoxiously annoying or stupid.
Verdict: Good clean and fun otaku-centric rom-com, but don't expect anything more from the show unless you're a big fan of Noto-sama. Otherwise, it has been a great side-dish show to watch.

Avant-Garde Bicycle Frame Reduces Pain & Discomfort
The RoundTail bike design includes loops rather than triangle-shaped rear frames to absorb more shockwaves.
Tortola RoundTail road bicycle frame may look speculative with its two extra loops at the back, but it's actually more ergonomic and creates a smoother ride. The two hallow steel circles are designed to absorb more shockwaves, compared to the usual triangle-shaped frame in the rear. The rider can enjoy a more comfortable ride, even after hitting bumps as the RoundTail frame can decrease vibration by up to 50 times. After cyclists rode the RoundTail for 50 miles, they experienced no pain or discomfort, which is often felt on other frames.
The RoundTail was created by bike-enthusiast and also entrepreneur, Lou Tortola, who resides in Canada. He wanted a bicycle frame that 'dramatically increases comfort, while retaining the lateral stiffness and peddling efficiency of traditional diamond frame bicycles'.
Watch the video below to see the RoundTail in action.

In a reference case including both civil and military aircraft the model predicts aircraft-induced maximum increases of zonal-mean NOy (=total reactive nitrogen) between 156 pptv (August) and 322 pptv (May) in the tropopause region of the Northern Hemisphere. Resulting maximum increases in zonal-mean ozone vary between 3.1 ppbv in September and 7.7 ppbv in June.
Enhanced use of polar routes implies substantially larger zonal-mean ozone increases in high Northern latitudes during summer, while the effect is negligible in winter.
Lowering the flight altitude leads to smaller ozone increases in the lower stratosphere and upper troposphere, and to larger ozone increases at altitudes below. Regarding total ozone change, the degree of cancellation between these two effects depends on latitude and season, but annually and globally averaged the contribution from higher altitudes dominates, mainly due to washout of NOy in the troposphere, which weakens the tropospheric increase.
Raising flight altitudes increases the ozone burden both in the troposphere and the lower stratosphere, primarily due to a more efficient accumulation of pollutants in the stratosphere.

The 2007+ is a world-class SUV and is probably the sportiest mid-sizer not wearing an AMG/M/Porsche S badge. There is a real argument to be made that SH-AWD is superior to quattro in both wet and dry, and it's certainly better than xDrive or 4MATIC.
I've driven a lot of crossover SUVs including some 550 MBs and the Cayenne S, and the '07 MDX still stands out. Night and day vs. the 01-06. Think of the jump from the 2nd-gen TL to the 3rd-gen Type-S and that's the kind of leap it took.
The next one should be pretty impressive. I'm expecting a 9AT and some kind of next-gen AWD, either hybrid or otherwise.
I don't know how feasible such a thing would even be, but it would sure change the Acura brand's like of mojo/an image.
That was supposed to be the plan! Damn you, Ito...
They're coming around. The company seems lost right now but that's the time lag in effect. They've been rocked by the outcry about the Civic and made some serious internal changes in response, and they know they bet wrong about performance cars when they saw the GTR succeed.
The 9AT is pretty crazy news at least IMO, and they have already apparently produced the best current CVT. So I have high hopes for the DCT in the new NSX.
The new RLX is supposed to get something like 25 city MPG in a car bigger and faster than the current RL. Things are looking up.
Rumour is that in 2014 the TSX and TL will merge into one model,the TLX,which will also be the Chineese Honda Spirior,Japaneese Accotd,and global Accord Euro for Australia,New Zealand,South Africa,etc
I think folks around here get passionate about Acura's lack of mojo because they know how good Honda can be when it wants to. When Honda was building awesome stuff, it was more forgivable that Acuras were just Hondas + leather and plastic wood trim. But that's not enough anymore and Honda/Acura really hasn't grown with the rest of the industry.
"Smart luxury" is a recipe to continue this malaise. Hence, the Civic-based ILX.
How successful were the CSX and before that, the EL, in Canada?
"This couldn't possibly break, I'll put it way the **** down there." -every German car engineer.
Speaking of which, I don't think I've seen an ILX here in Canada outside of the dealer lot.
We have searched every square inch of this base and all we have found is porno, porno, PORNO!
I think this is mostly a marketing thing. I haven't seen a single ad for the ILX and I didn't even know they were out until someone suggested them when I made threads about my mom looking at a Verano. With the Verano, which is selling well from what I understand, it is on TV all the time and even has Peyton Manning doing stuff in it.
The idea that a successful Acura can't be based on a Civic is silly, as proved by the Integra's success.
We know why they decided to get rid of the Integra/RSX, but obviously that was a mistake. The question is whether this ILX will eventually be good enough to rectify that mistake.
)Killing the "Legend"
)Dropping the Integra/RSX line
were bad moves, and that after finally finding another successful formula,
)Uglifying the TL
was a further bad idea would go a long way to fixing the direction of the company.
The ILX is probably the best looking Acura right now, but the value proposition isn't there. I would hope it's a starting point to build it into a proper Integra line replacement, coupe/hatch and sedan, but with the recent track record I'm not sure they'll go more than one generation without changing the formula again.
We have searched every square inch of this base and all we have found is porno, porno, PORNO!

The Covenant of Jewish Professional Leadership
Jewish Communal Service Association of North America (JCSA), Fall 2009
Jewish communal service is a "field" rather than a "profession" because it lacks consistency in education requirement, standards of ethical practice, or oversight by a governing professional body. In order to help professionalize Jewish communal service, the Jewish Communal Professionals of Southern California created "The Covenant of Jewish Professional Leadership - Brit HaMiktzoa," which is a document that seeks to lay a foundation of standards, ethics, and behavior for the individual who identifies as a Jewish communal professional. The document includes such Jewish values as "the Jewish People," "Continuing Education," and "Philanthropy" and reflects many months of nuanced and passionate discussions. The future of Jewish communal service as a profession relies on the proliferation of such covenants and a heightened awareness among professionals of the need for a unifying set of norms.

Moody discusses current bills, first year in general assembly
By: Echo Day, from The Covington Leader
Q: What has prompted HB 1483, a bill you're sponsoring that will authorize a handgun carry permit holder to transport and store a firearm in a personal vehicle? What is the current law? Why is this important? How does this differ from the Guns in Trunks bill?
A: Currently, because of legislation passed last year, permit holders are allowed to keep firearms locked in their trunk except in locations that a county or municipality has banned firearms. This bill removes that exemption and allows carry permit holders the freedom to keep guns locked in their trunk regardless of any existing local ordinances. I feel that it is important to protect permit holders who don't intend to arm themselves in an area where guns are banned that may be inadvertently breaking the law currently by safely storing their firearm in a locked trunk.
Q: You're sponsoring two bills related to special needs students and private educations. HB 2044 creates a scholarship grant program that presumably will allow special education students to attend private or home schools; HB 2047 creates IEPs for homeschooling students, it seems, and gives home educators funds to purchase curriculum and materials. Can you explain these further? Why are these important to the public welfare? How much will this cost taxpayers annually (no fiscal summary is listed on the bill)? Why are these bills important to you as someone who homeschooled?
A: HB 2044 and HB 2047 are both aimed at offering families who find themselves in particularly difficult situations the best option for educating their child. Special needs students often require an unorthodox approach to reach their goals that may not be attainable in all public schools across our state. I want to make sure that if a special needs child cannot get the help they need in a public school, that we as a state are providing pathways for them elsewhere.
Q: Along the same vein, you're co-sponsoring the Religious Viewpoints Antidiscrimination Act, which permits students to, essentially, talk about their religious beliefs in their school work, at graduation and other events, etc. Does this apply to all religions, or just Christianity? Why is this important? How does this affect the separation of church and state (schools)?
A: This bill would apply to all religions. Some school systems err on the side of safety and prohibit students from discussing their faith during student functions or in school assignments. There is nothing in the code that currently prohibits students from doing so. I aim to make it clear that as long as a student is not causing a disturbance, they are free to discuss their faith without fear of punishment.
Q: Along with Mark Norris in the senate, you're co-sponsoring the Educator Respect and Accountability Act and a bill requiring the Dept. of Education to reimburse LEAs for the costs of implementing and the ongoing use of Common Core. Can you explain what the ERAA will mean to local teachers if passed? How much has it cost the state to implement and use CCSS? Does the reimbursement cover only the national standards or the added state standards, which are greater in number? How much has it cost to change from TCAP to PARCC?
A: The ERAA prohibits Teacher Licensure being based, in any way, upon how their students perform on end of year standardized tests. I think that a teacher's license, which is essentially their livelihood, should not be determined by a multiple choice test taken by students. We owe it to our teachers to provide a more thorough examination of their license renewal than what the state board has proposed.
While part of implementing common core standards does mean a different series of standardized tests in certain subjects, this bill doesn't address the common core. Also, the costs of common core, TCAP and PARCC vary greatly from district to district depending on current resources. It would be very hard for me to guess at a number, but I do know that there have been concerns about the costs and I know that our caucus is focusing this year on making the transition as affordable as possible for locals.
Q: Last year you sponsored a bill that makes information related to the allegations of unlawful conduct, fraud, waste or abuse by government officials confidential. These records used to be public and the media often uses these documents as government oversight, it's primary responsibility in serving the public. In what ways is this bill not violating Sunshine Laws? What is still public? How are government officials being held accountable?
A: The bill that I carried was a bill updated to bring the current law to enable the public to report fraud, waste and abuse of the tax payers money directly to the comptroller's office AKA hot line. This would include current telephonic means. This bill updated our current communications. Importantly, this is only for reporting and updating confidentially.
Q: You're also working with victims' rights and the statute of limitations where they both apply to sexual offenses. Why is it important to permit rape victims eligibility for criminal injuries compensation if they fail to report the crime? How would that work? What is the importance of lengthening the statute of limitations?
A: Rape is an incredibly complex and terrifying life event for the victim. Often times they are too afraid or embarrassed to come forward and report these events to law enforcement initially. I want to make sure that victims have as much flexibility as possible so that those committing such reprehensible acts aren't able to escape prosecution and punishment because of what I see as legal loopholes.
Q: How did you feel going into your second year in the house? What bills have you been especially proud of? Which ones do you regret didn't pass? What's your focus in 2014?
A: I am most proud of the work I have put into the sex trafficking legislation. Having the pleasure of working with T.B.I. and other human interest groups has helped enable me to concentrate on working with victims and law enforcement legislation. I can truly say I am doing what I love.

I just did a quick search and found LAX to Brussels (BRU) which is a nice short drive to a the Ring for $907 return leaving tuesday before returning thursday afterwards. Try searching for various other places like Paris, Berlin, Cologne, Frankfurt etc. (Frankfurt is about as close as BRU but is more expensive).

There was a cloying, uncomfortable heat in the poky little press cabin on the edge of Manchester City's training ground which is one of the less desirable legacies of the Mark Hughes era and Manuel Pellegrini tried to maintain what froideur he could, as he characterised his succession to the most challenging job in world football as an entirely natural one.
A lot of City supporters sang "You can stick your Pellegrini up your arse" (to the tune of "She'll be Coming Round the Mountain") at May's FA Cup final and it was the subtly choreographed attempt to win these people over which presented the greatest point of interest, when the latest highly-paid manager to have his initials ironed onto a City training top sat in Roberto Mancini's old seat, parading a wrist watch even chunkier than the Italian's.
There was a distinct prickle of defensiveness from Pellegrini when his European trophy haul – one Intertoto Cup – was brought up. His willingness to divulge that both City (in 2007) and Liverpool (in 2010) had pursued him for the jobs that Sven Goran Eriksson and Roy Hodgson eventually filled was also revealing. Considering how unforthcoming Pellegrini was on pretty much every other topic yesterday, this felt like the Chilean letting it be known to City's supporters that the club had accomplished something very important by hiring him. There was a play to the gallery, too, with talk about Manchester United being of no great concern, since he'd dumped them out of the Champions League group stage, in 2005 with Villarreal.
"We passed to the last 16 and Manchester United didn't, so I have experience playing against Manchester United. I know that the most important thing for all the fans is to beat Manchester United and if I am here it is because I am sure we will do it…"
The men who hired Pellegrini will have been delighted by his ability to provide no answer whatsoever to the kind of questions which Mancini would have for breakfast, much to their distaste. He categorically refused, for example, to answer the perfectly relevant question of what he thought of the director of football model of club management, under which he has been hired.
"I think it is better not to talk about that," he said. "Why not?" he was asked. "There are a lot of different things now and I can say what I want but it is difficult to say," he replied.
It was hard to tell if this was Pellegrini having a problem with the axis of power between him and football director Txiki Begiristain, though he would have been under no illusions when he signed his three-year, £10.2m contract. There was nothing enigmatic about Pellegrini's views on Mancini, though. Asked if the supporters' relationship with the man who "comes from Italy to manage Man City" – as they always sang – made him difficult to follow, he declared that Mancini was no more special than others.
"Not only the last manager here [had a following]," Pellegrini said. "I talk about Man City fans: they are incredible. I think I will not have any problem with the loyalty."
Making the right noises about United is a sure-fire way of securing that, which may be why Pellegrini opted for something more bullish than Mancini's perennial claim that the reigning champions have a psychological edge borne of winning over and again. It is the measurement by which United are "five yards ahead," Mancini always used to say. Not so, said Pellegrini. "They have a different history maybe," he insisted. Looking to his interpreter for a rare piece of assistance, he then murmured "encortado especios" (levelling out) before continuing. "In the last three, four or five years last years, Man City have levelled the distance a lot."
But the task Pellegrini faces when football returns next month is unmistakeably greater than the one confronting either David Moyes, across the back field of Carrington, or Jose Mourinho, at Chelsea. That is because Pellegrini is the agent of another radical and fundamental overhaul at City. Despairing of Mancini's many systems – "4-2-3-1, 4-3-3, 3-4-2-1 just in the course of one game," one senior executive exclaimed in the midst of last season – and desperate for the 4-3-3 model which will run through all levels of the club, City start the 2013-14 campaign not only with a new manager but an entirely new style of playing. And the club's attempts to build the global awareness which has already seen them busy from New York to Thailand this summer and broadcasting yesterday's press conference in scores of new languages, demand instant results. There can be no one season of bedding in.
Pellegrini did not dismiss the idea that targeting older players this summer – 28-year-old Fernandinho, 27-year-old Jesus Navas and 27-year-old Seville target Alvaro Negredo, with Real's 30-year-old central defender Pepe a lost cause – revealed City to be in need of instant impact players, already rich in experience. "As a coach of course we always want immediate success," he said. Last summer they were buying 21-year-olds. It feels like another tactical shift on the rocky road to world domination.
Pellegrini's near absence of trophies in Europe meant nothing, he said, reflecting his previous work with Villarreal, one unhappy season with Real Madrid and subsequent time at Malaga. "I won a lot of trophies in South America but it is impossible [in Spain]. I started with Villarreal. It is very difficult for Villarreal to win a title in Spain. It is also very difficult for Villarreal to reach the quarter, semi of the Champions League and go second in the league [as they did].
"In Real Madrid with 96 points, we played a whole year against a great Barcelona with [Pep] Guardiola. I am sure if I stayed at Real Madrid we could have won a lot of trophies.
"Malaga is the same as Villarreal. You can't win the title with Malaga. I had twice chances to arrive [in England] before. One was to Manchester City. Liverpool? I was very near, after Real Madrid, to arrive to Liverpool. It was not the right moment but now it is the right moment."
He laughed off chief executive Ferran Soriano's public target of five trophies in as many years in the Pellegrini era: "Just five?" He insisted that the fate of Mancini – sacked after coming second in the Premier League – did not worry him. "No I am not concerned about that. [My target] is not only to win trophies. I promise I will do my best here. We are not in a hurry [to sign more players.] We have people and choices."
And he left the room smiling, shaking the hands pressed into his. Just like Mancini always did, in fact, before the task of delivering City to the land United occupy, in a fraction of the time Sir Alex Ferguson required, proved too great and he found himself out of the club and on his way, leaving the hot seat in the hot room to someone else.
City host gig to start season on right note
As they go in search of regaining their Premier League crown, Manchester City's pre-season plans are becoming ever more unconventional.
Having already played in the United States and with games coming up in South Africa, Hong Kong, Finland and Germany, City announced plans for a pre-season launch party based on the MTV Music Awards.
City Live will be held on 8 August at the Manchester Central arena and will feature music, player appearances and comedy from Jason Manford. The club have dubbed it "the mother of all parties". Whatever happened to the time when pre-season meant running around a few cones and a friendly against Leek Town?

Steve Chiotakis: Starting today, same-sex couples can legally marry in Vermont. That should mean big business for Vermont's gay-friendly tourism industry, right? Not necessarily. From Vermont Public Radio, Ross Sneyd reports.
Ross Sneyd: Last summer, Michael and Jace Sheppard had 80 guests at their poolside civil union. Jace Sheppard says now, they'll exchange the same rings in a small ceremony at home. But that's the most they plan to do.
Jace Sheppard: Mostly because of the big event that we made it before and the amount of money that we spent. And now that that money is not available anymore.
And that means no big bonanza for the travel industry like there was in 2000, when Vermont was the only state where same-sex partners could have legal ceremonies.
Tim Shea is with the Burlington area Chamber of Commerce:
Tim Shea: Unlike nine years ago, it doesn't appear so far that there's been immediate demand. But we're hopeful over time that Vermont will continue to be a popular place for weddings.
More than 80 percent of Vermont's civil unions were between out-of-state couples. But now, there's stiff competition. By the end of the year, same-sex marriage will be legal in four other New England states.
From Burlington, Vt., I'm Ross Sneyd for Marketplace.

The program is multidisciplinary. We have a large dedicated multidisciplinary faculty, who have received local, national and international recognition, and who are committed to education in sleep medicine. Further, the program has additional non-physician faculty with extensive experience in sleep medicine. The faculty come from Internal Medicine, Pediatrics, Neurology, Psychiatry and Otolaryngology. Many of the participant faculty are well recognized within Baylor College of Medicine for their excellence in teaching and have been recipients of numerous teaching awards. The sleep medicine faculty are actively involved in clinical practice of sleep medicine, training and education in sleep medicine and research in various fields related to sleep medicine.
The program uses multiple affiliated inpatient and outpatient clinical and sleep laboratory experiences in both the public and private setting. Various sites in this fellowship program provide patient, pathology, gender, age and socio-economic diversity. The experiences are comprehensive in breadth, depth and diversity of diagnoses, allowing the trainees the experiences needed to be adept in the practice of sleep medicine.
The program has a comprehensive curriculum. The fellowship in sleep medicine addresses the full range of issues in clinical sleep research and clinical practice. The impact of normal sleep and the influence of disordered sleep on health and well-being are emphasized. Additionally, the fellowship focuses on the importance of sleep disorders and their treatment on overall health and functioning. The roles of the sleep specialist in primary, secondary and tertiary prevention and the collaboration with other health professionals are stressed. Sleep medicine is truly multidisciplinary and our program reflects that fact; content material and faculty from a broad array of specialties is incorporated into the curriculum, including internal medicine, pediatrics, pulmonary medicine, cardiology, hematology, psychology, psychiatry, neurology, neonatology, neurosurgery, otolaryngology, craniofacial surgery, plastic and reconstructive surgery, and dentistry.

Famous Book Titles Took Their Famous Book Titles from Poetry
What's that? 12 Famous Book Titles That Come From Poetry? Oh, Publisher's Weekly. Thank you. Here goes:
1. The Lovely Bones by Alice Sebold comes from "I Knew a Woman" by Theodore Roethke
I knew a woman, lovely in her bones,
When small birds sighed, she would sigh back at them;
Ah, when she moved, she moved more ways than one:
The shapes a bright container can contain!
2. A Handful of Dust by Evelyn Waugh comes from The Waste Land by T.S. Eliot
…I will show you something different from either
Your shadow at morning striding behind you
Or your shadow at evening rising to meet you;
I will show you fear in a handful of dust.
5. Far from the Madding Crowd by Thomas Hardy comes from "Elegy Written in a Country Churchyard" by Thomas Gray
Far from the madding crowd's ignoble strife
Their sober wishes never learn'd to stray;
Along the cool sequester'd vale of life
They kept the noiseless tenor of their way.
6. Remembrance of Things Past by Marcel Proust comes from "Sonnet 30″ by William Shakespeare
When to the sessions of sweet silent thought
I summon up remembrance of things past,
I sigh the lack of many a thing I sought,
And with old woes new wail my dear time's waste:
Did we know that one? I feel like we did. More more more.

Bankers and Obama Have a SitdownBy
Following a White House meeting more likely to affect the tone surrounding the bailout of financial institutions than the substance of the rescue plan, executives from the nation's leading banks pledged on Mar. 27 to work with the Obama Administration to get the economy moving again. The summit capped a week in which the Administration detailed its plan to cleanse bank balance sheets of toxic assets and laid the groundwork for stricter regulation on Wall Street.
The biggest shift to come out of the meeting may be one of messaging, as both the Administration and financial executives try to stave off widespread public anger over the size of bailouts and bonuses to executives at troubled companies that received federal funds. Several of the 13 CEOs who attended the meeting said afterward that they shared an interest with the American people in getting the economy to recover.
"We understand that we have not done a good job of telling our story," U.S. Bancorp (USB) CEO Richard Davis told CNBC in an interview on the White House grounds. "We understand the anger that the American people feel about executive compensation. We understand the sound bites around the TARP, and the fact of the matter is that those are probably factual, but they're not the whole story. We need to get back out and tell about the great things that are happening," like home refinancings and new businesses supported by lending, he said.
Few Specifics
One person close to the discussions, but who wasn't in the room, said the meeting was amicable but included little in the way of specifics. "You have the major players for the recovery effort coming together for a rah-rah leadership meeting," he said.
White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs said Obama generally was pleased with the meeting, which lasted more than an hour.
"The President emphasized that Wall Street needs Main Street and Main Street needs Wall Street," Gibbs told reporters.
He said the President stressed "that he had no agenda beyond working to get a solution, the right solution for our financial system, and to get it stabilized and working again for the American people."
Among the CEOs at the meeting were JPMorgan's (JPM) Jamie Dimon, Bank of America's (BAC) Ken Lewis, Citigroup's (C) Vikram Pandit, and Goldman Sachs' (GS) Lloyd Blankfein. Also in attendance were chiefs of the American Bankers Assn. and Independent Community Bankers of America trade groups.
Country over Company
All of the financial companies at the White House meeting have received assistance from the government, to the tune of $184 billion under the Troubled Asset Relief Program (TARP) alone, according to a tally kept by journalism organization ProPublica. One of the institutions, housing lender Freddie Mac (FRE), was taken into conservatorship by the federal government last fall.
Dimon said Obama asked bankers to put the needs of the country above the interests of their companies. "He set the tone up front about the issues facing the country and that he expects everyone to help in every way they can, and to be very responsive to the needs of this country," he said on CNBC.
He also said Obama told executives to beware of public anger over compensation that erupted in backlash against insurer American International Group (AIG) in recent days. AIG has been roundly criticized for retention contracts that resulted in $165 million in bonus payments this month to executives at the division considered to have caused the most financial damage to the company.
"The President thinks that we should be very cognizant of the needs and desire and anger around the country on compensation," he said. But Dimon stopped short of saying whether the President explicitly addressed government intervention in compensation—like the House plan for a 90% tax on bonuses at banks that received federal aid. "I think he would like to see an awful lot of self-restraint," Dimon told the network.
Support for Geithner's Toxic-Asset Plan
Bank of America's Lewis said that while it wasn't clear what actions the Administration would ultimately take on compensation, he didn't think Obama was on board with the House plan. "I got the impression both from him and from some of the things that are going on behind the scenes that cooler heads are going to prevail, and that nothing will be done that is that punitive," he told CNBC.
Bank executives said they will wait until the Treasury Dept.'s stress tests are complete before deciding when to repay the TARP funds. Some have indicated they plan to return the TARP aid early to avoid restrictions on compensation and other potential government interference. "I think it's in everyone's interests that when someone can return it, that they do so," Goldman Sachs' Blankfein told CNBC.
Blankfein also endorsed Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner's plan to use public-private partnerships to remove toxic assets from banks' books. He downplayed the risks shouldered by the Treasury and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp., which will finance the purchases with non-recourse loans, if the assets turn out to be worth less than the partnerships pay for them.
"Anybody who invests in that partnership must believe the U.S. is not going to lose money on its lending, because the equity goes first, and so instead of having the government price it and the government manage it, here private interests manage it and price it," Blankfein said.

1800 Tequila
1800 Tequila
As a commemorative measure to honor the heritage and establishment of the popular spirit tequila, 1800 tequila brand was developed. This traces back to the ancestry of tequila and its production in Guadalajara, Mexico when the very first mass batches were being made from the blue agave pinas that were fermented, distilled, and aged to perfection. 1800 tequila is produced by the same manufacturer as Jose Cuervo tequila - Casa Cuervo S.A. de C.V., and it is comprised of 100% blue agave.
1800 tequila is actually a special edition type of tequila that honors the traditions and the Mexican origin of the well-known spirit. Just recently they have launched an incredible line that features various artists and their designs on the amazing bottle. This only adds to the appeal that consumers have for the tequila and the bottle. The 1800 tequila has a cap that can serve as a shot glass - what an incredible concept. The 1800 tequila specially released bottle designs are being released in the larger metro cities and feature nine artists original works.

1800 tequila is a new brand of tequila that has just recently been introduced and is one of the newest of this era. 1800 tequila is known for the quality and enriched agave flavor. It was created and established in 2004 when three distinct labels was introduced. These types were Anejo, Reposado, and Silver. Then later the following year 2005 the brand released the only pre-made margarita in a bottle form. In 2008, 1800 tequila developed one of the rare 100 proof tequilas called 1800 Select Silver. Although it has only had a short stint on the market, this 1800 Select Silver tequila brand is swooning consumers with it's exquisite bottle, high-quality, and premium taste.
1800 tequila has ranked well in spirit competitions, and it is receiving great ratings and reviews from consumers. Here are a few of the 1800 tequila reviews that consumers are giving this new trendy tequila brand:
- Great but subtle wood flavoring
- Premium taste in tequila for an affordable budget
- Has a smoky, peppery flavor that makes it distinguishable.
- Great for shots, as a sipper, and even better in mixed cocktails.
- Slight burn, has hint of cinnamon or spiciness.
- Good tequila, fancy bottle, light in body.
- Exceptional presentation, great finish, and smooth aroma and flavor.
1800 tequila is still relatively new, however it has and continues to make a very large impression on the market and the consumers. With all of its features and outstanding characteristics, how could it not become one of the greatest tequila brands of today?

"I have reached a saturation point on the small talk about her clothes," Givhan writes.
And so, I have reached a saturation point on the small talk about her clothes.
When the air is near the saturation point, the weather is oppressive and is said to be very humid.
It is apparent that this has reached temporarily the saturation point.
If the temperature falls below the saturation point, dew will be formed.
We will only state, however, that the magnets of dynamos are not always charged up to their saturation point.
If, however, the air is not near the saturation point, a fall in temperature will not necessarily produce bad weather.
When the air is at the saturation point, the tiniest additional percentage of moisture causes rain to fall.
This is the "saturation point" of the money demand of the country; it is a certain number of pieces of full-weight metal.
Is it not the teacher who has crammed and coached the unfortunate students to the saturation point?

The point at which a substance, under given conditions, can receive no more of another substance in solution.

Suffolk, UK production trio The Soft are uncanny shape shifters. Where a track might start at pop it quickly changes to a 4×4 beat or wander off into future based ambience — best exemplified by the stark contrast between tracks "Mori" and the four tracks that make up The Soft's label debut Uncanny Valley EP. At its earliest stages The Soft's music is delicately hatched inside a bedroom, but when considering the given environment you are in when hearing The Soft the mood can suddenly change. It's not to say you are without control or maybe it is. Either way, it's a good headspace to be in.
Perfectly suited for headphone listening as much as being played out on the dance floor, The Soft elegantly bend the confines of a given genre in order to have the ability to jump from place to place without missing a step. And therein lies the trick or even the prestige – there are layers here laid one on top of the other triggered to change upon a predisposed mood and/or setting. Be it a train ride into the city, a dimly lit room, or the walk home from a metro stop late a night where it's only you, the sounds of footsteps hitting pavement, and music guiding your way.

Georgia's Bridget Lyons Earns SEC Community Service Post-Graduate Scholarship
April 5, 2011
BIRMINGHAM, Ala. - University of Georgia senior track and field athlete Bridget Lyons has been named one of two of the 2010-11 Brad Davis Southeastern Conference Community Service Leaders of the Year, Commissioner Mike Slive announced Tuesday.
University of Mississippi track and field athlete Barnabas Kirui was honored as the other SEC Leader of the Year.
The two were chosen by a committee of Faculty Athletics Representatives from SEC universities. Each will receive a $6,000 post-graduate scholarship, provided by the SEC.
In addition, Bulldog senior triple jumper Asaph Levy was one of 22 other recipients for the Brad Davis Community Service Award and will receive a $3000 scholarship, also provided by the SEC.
"The Southeastern Conference is proud to honor the efforts of Barnabas and Bridget to make their communities a better place to live," said Slive. "Barnabas and Bridget are fine representatives of their families, their institutions, the Southeastern Conference and intercollegiate athletics."
The SEC Community Service Post-Graduate Scholarship was named for former Associate Commissioner Brad Davis. Davis succumbed to cancer on March 2, 2006. He had been a member of the SEC staff since 1988, first serving as an assistant commissioner until 1994 when he was promoted to associate commissioner.
Lyons, a native of Evans, Ga., will earn a B.S. degree in Biology and a B.A. degree in Spanish this spring. She is a member of the Phi Beta Kappa Honor Society and the Alpha Epsilon Delta premedical honor society as well as being a Presidential Scholar at UGA. She is also a member of the National Society of Collegiate Scholars and the Delta Epsilon Iota academic honor society.
Lyons captured her first conference title with a win in the 10,000 meters and was Georgia's top scorer (14 points) at the 2010 SEC Outdoor Championships. She also had a runner-up finish in the 5,000 meters at the 2010 SEC Indoors as well. She was a co-captain on the 2009 Lady Bulldog cross country team and deferred dental school in 2011 in order to run another year for Georgia.
In 2011, she received the overall "Peach of an Athlete Award," given by the Atlanta area Boy Scout Council to student-athletes participating in outstanding community service. She also earned U.S. Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association All-Academic Team honors.
Most notably, Lyons has volunteered extensively at the Mercy Health Clinic in Athens, with project FOCUS and with parent-teacher conference translating for Hands on Northeast Georgia.
Lyons has also volunteered at Hope Dental Clinic, Oasis after School for Spanish-speaking elementary school students, American Cancer Society's Relay for Life and Town and Gown Theatre Company.
The daughter of Jill Miller and Mike Lyons, she is the student-athlete representative to the UGA Athletic Association Board of Directors.
Levy, originally from Toronto, Canada, will earn a B.S. degree in Biology in May 2011. He was a member of 2010 U.S. Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association All-Academic Team and on the Dean's List and SEC Academic Honor Roll.
A three-year letter winner for UGA as a triple jumper, Levy advanced to the NCAA East Regional in the event. He has traveled a career-best distance of 49 feet, 9 inches for the Bulldogs and scored twice with eighth-place finishes at the SEC Championships.
Levy is the founder and Vice-President of the UGA Biology and Life Sciences Association and a member of Peach State Louis Stokes Alliance for Minority Participation. He also served as a mentor to students at Barrow Elementary School and volunteered at St. Mary's Hospital and with Heroes, a program for HIV and Aids awareness for young children.
The graduate of Kennesaw Mountain High School (Ga.) is the son of Dane and Karrol Levy.
Also, 10 other male and 11 other female recipients for the Brad Davis SEC Community Service Award will receive a $3000 scholarship.
In addition to Levy, the 11 other male recipients are: Daniel Armstrong, Swimming and Diving, Alabama; Chris Nott, Tennis, Arkansas; Justin Hargett, Baseball, Auburn; Robert Walsh, Swimming and Diving, Florida; Marcus Davis, Football, Kentucky; Kyle Rose, Track and Field, LSU; Mark Melichar, Football, Mississippi State; Michael Zajac, Track and Field, South Carolina; Michael Wright, Swimming and Diving, Tennessee; Bram Chisholm, Track and Field, Vanderbilt.
The 11 other female recipients are: Jessica Allaway, Rowing, Alabama; Britni Williams, Soccer, Arkansas; Addison Ragsdale, Soccer, Auburn; Megan Bush, Softball, Florida; Samantha DeMartine, Softball, Kentucky; Courtney Alexander, Soccer, LSU; Juliana Smith, Track and Field, Ole Miss; Courtney Nesbit, Softball, Mississippi State; Jewel May, Basketball, South Carolina; Jackie Areson, Track and Field, Tennessee; Rebecca Silinski, Basketball, Vanderbilt.
The SEC Community Service Post-Graduate Scholarship was first presented in 1996. Past Leaders of the Year from Georgia include: 2010 - John Egan, Georgia (track and field); 2004 -Virginia Pate, Georgia (swimming & diving); 2003 - Brett Kirouac, Georgia (football); 2000 - Brett Millican, Georgia (football).

I bought it about a month or less ago because it has a high level of sun protection. I have lips that dry and peel easily and this lip balm didn't really have much moisture. I had to use a different lip balm to help moisturize my lips. I am not sure if it really protected me from the sun but I wasn't going to risk it (so I still put it on ). When I put this lip balm on some of it gets inside my mouth and gives me this unpleasant taste.

I bought this because it was one of Beautypedia's top lip balms w/ a high spf, and it was only like three bucks. I guess it's practical because of the SPF 50, but it doesn't feel like practicality is reason enough for me to buy it again. Prior to this I was using Blistex Deep Renewal (and you can read my review on it if you're so inclined), which felt like silk on my lips and had SPF 30. I know that this is really a sport performance product, so maybe I shouldn't compare it to my Blistex, but it just doesn't feel like I'm doing anything for my lips. It doesn't feel luxurious or pleasant, it's just kind of there (for a few minutes anyway).
It feels kind of thin but gritty, and I can feel some sort of graininess against my lips. It also feels like it disappears after 20 minutes or so. Maybe it soaks into your lips, but my lips don't feel particularly moisturized, and if you don't feel it how do you know it's there and it's working?
I think the intent of Banana Boat was to provide a utilitarian product so you could be out there on the beach playing volleyball all day and not damage your lips, and kudos to them for that. But you need SPF every day, not just when you're playing sports! And yes, the balm is gender-neutral but men want their lips to actually FEEL soft and hydrated as much as we do. I think they should've considered that and made the product not just practical, but pleasant to use even when you're not swimming or running or whatever. I'm going to use up the two balms from Banana Boat and go back to my Blistex Deep Renewal.
