- Disregarding the time-honoured Cheshire maxim that it is better to marry over the mixen than over the moor, Philip Egerton went into Lancashire for a wife, and found one in the person of Katharine, otherwise Ancharette, daughter of Jorveth or Yawrarit de Hulton, of Hulton, to whom King John, on succeeding to the Crown, had given the township of Pendleton, and who was himself the son and heir of Blethyn de Hulton, living in the time of Henry II., the patriarch of that ancient and honoured Lancashire family. She bore him, with other children, a son David, who added to the family possessions by his marriage with Cecilia, one of the daughters of Randle Thornton, lord of Thornton-in-the-Moors, for, as appears by a deed in the Egerton collection, Amicia, the widow of Randle and the sister and co-heir of Ranulph de Kingsley, gave to him all her lands in Crowton a third share of the manor in frank marriage with Cecilia, her daughter. The deed is without date, from which circumstance it may be assumed that it was executed before the year 1290, when the statute of Quia emptores terrariim (18 Edwd. I.) was passed, after which it was customary to add the regnal year. Amicia, the grantor, must have lived to a ripe old age ; she was a widow in 1243, she is known to have been living in 1279, and there is reason to believe that she survived until 1308.
- Several sons were born of this marriage, the eldest of whom, Philip de Egerton, who succeeded, was honoured with the shrievalty of his county in 1295. Following the example of his father, he further added to the patrimonial lands by a marriage with Margaret, daughter of Richard de Wrenbury, by Katharine, daughter of the Lady Matilda de Courtray, who brought him as her marriage portion all the lands of her mother in Wrenbury, which appear to have included the lands in Wardle, or Wardhull, called Wardel Park, and a place called the Breres, and to these should be added the lands in Burwardesley, which he obtained in the reign of Henry III. from William, son of Robert Patric, as appears by a charter

- among the original evidences at Eaton Hall. He pre-deceased his wife, and died about the year 1317, having had, in addition to a son David, who succeeded as heir, Urian, who married Amelia, daughter and heiress of David Caldecote, and in her right became lord of Caldecote. From this union sprung the Egertons of Caldecote and Haselwall, which afterwards divided into the families of Egerton of Bettley and Egerton of Wrinehill, the last-named place, formerly a seat of the Hawkstones at Checkley, on the borders of Staffordshire, being acquired with Newbold Astbury, Smallwood, and other estates by the marriage of William de Egerton, the great grandson of Urian, with Ellen, daughter and heir of Sir John Hawkstone. .....
- David, the eldest son and heir of Philip Egerton, served the office of Sheriff of Cheshire in 1333-4, and married Isabella, daughter of Richard de Fulleshurst, lord of Crewe, by whom he had Philip, his heir ; Urian, who, as we shall hereafter see, continued the line of Egerton of Egerton ; three other sons, David, Bryan, and Robert ; and four daughters. By one of those curious matrimonial contracts that were common to the age, we find him, in a deed dated at Egerton on the Monday after the Epiphany, 9 Edward II. (1315-6), entering into an agreement with John de St. ....

Re "Food tax hike could pass Utah Senate, new leader says" (Tribune, Dec. 20):
Please, voters, stand up and be heard. Knock the heads of your local representatives to the Utah Legislature. They fight not to raise taxes on anyone or anything; however, an increase in the food tax is different?
Go look in the mirror and laugh at the person who voted for these fools, or smile that you knew better.

Sump Pump Backup Battery Error?
I have bought a new home and they installed a sump pump with a backup battery sitting right next to it. When it rains, it does work, but the thing is that I believe it is using the backup battery instead of the main power because the backup battery is beeping constantly so I have to manually hit the reset switch on the backup battery. Until I hit the reset switch, the sump pump does not work.
Is this normal? It's really driving me crazy since it would beep during all times of the day/night and I'm constantly worried if the basement is flooded during storms.
Any help is GREATLY appreciated!
my battery backup is a completely seperate pump. Meaning there is the primary 110v pump pluged into the wall and then there is a seperate pump that runs off the battery. There is a switch in the well that is supposed to trigger the backup pump when the water level gets too high, (when the primary pump is not working). It sounds like the switch for the backup pump is set too low in the well and therefore is starting the backup pump before the primary pump. Look inside and find the switch for the backup pump. Remove it and mount it a few inches higher
Try replacing the battery with a marine battery from auto zone.
I don't know what model you have but I think most are pretty similar. This is the model I put in a few months ago...
Page 2 shows what my float switch looks like. Those two round donuts slide up and down the rod as the water rises. Thats the switch that triggers the back up pump. Its attached to a wire that runs to the battery outside of the well
Page 3 shows how they are set up in the well. If you have two seperate pipes coming out of the well then you definately have two seperate sump pumps
Page 15 shows how to test the float switch. My switch is ziptied to one of the pipes. The switch should be easy to see because it should be towards the top of the well.
Also make sure you main pump is pluged in and the outlet actually works
I should actually test the outlet first, but I don't think that's the culprit since the backup battery is plugged into the same outlet.
Not sure if this is helpful, but I have a main pump and then I have a Big Dog backup pump. If the backup turns on for any reason - anytime it is activated - it alarms to let me know. It will do this even if the house still has power. For mine it is basically saying "Hey, I turned on and I should not have - better check it out, cause you either lost power or your main pump is not kicking on"
good luck.
All those cheap battery backup systems are unreliable and prone to failure.
Not only do they suffer from low pumping capacity (compared to main 120 pump), but they are very inefficient which drains the battery quickly. Additionally, they have no way to check the full charge capacity which decreases as the battery ages.
Checkout www.nexpump.com to learn how the most reliable primary/backup system works.
It's time for the insurance industry to jump on the home builders for putting crap in.
I plan on replacing the battery every 3 or 4 years as part of normal maintainance

Best Place to get Coil Pack for an '04 ESV?
Well, my 2004 Escalade ESV just had the engine light come on today. I checked it with my code reader and it came back as a "P0308 - Powertrain, Cylinder 8 Missfire". Looks like I should think about replacing the coil pack and spark plug for at least cyl 8... and maybe for the other 8 cylinders (the truck has about 98K on the original ones). Anyone have any suggestions for the best deal in both spark plugs and coil packs for an '04?
Try RockAuto, I buy a lot of parts from them. They have awesome prices!
Re: Best Place to get Coil Pack for an '04 ESV?
There are two different possible ignition coils used in the NBS Escalade 6.0 engine;
The coils you could get at rockauto but make sure to get the right ones. What I would replace first, however, is plugs and wires. I like NGK plugs, TRIX 7397 for the Escalade. For wires, depending on which coil set is installed, it changes the recommendation for wire sets. 100% best way is to check your coils and then order the right length set. I would get this stuff at advance auto, use a coupon and pick it up;
Part No. 9748HH - FOR COILS STAMPED 12558693 - $52
Part No. 9748GG - FOR COILS STAMPED 19005218 - $76
Re: Best Place to get Coil Pack for an '04 ESV?
Ok - status update: I had the 12558693 coil. I replaced all plugs and wires and reset the trouble codes. No codes have come up so far (about 30 miles driving). Replacing the plugs/wires was a BITCH. Most of the wires were stuck like glue to the plugs - I had to get some off with channel locks. That engine is really shoehorned in there. What should have taken 45 minutes took 3 hours (and beat the heck out of my hands!). I replaces all of the plugs with the NGK's z0lt3c recommended - nice plugs! I also used a very small amount of silver anti-seize on each plug and a small amount of dielectric grease on each end of the plug wires - should be easier of I have to take em off again. One quick question - how do I know if the plug wires on are on "tight enough" to the plugs? I pushed hard as I could but some are pretty difficult to get to (cylinder 8 for instance).

I still haven't done the one by the ac lines due to fear of breaking them while replacing the plug or removing the wire
The wires should click(mine did) when they are in place
I think it was a hour and a half to do what I can do on my car in a half hour (major pita)
Re: Best Place to get Coil Pack for an '04 ESV?
Hmm... I didn't hear any clicks when I put the plug wires on the spark plugs but I did hear a click when I plugged the plug wires into the coil packs. Think I'm ok? I mean, I pushed HARD on the plug wires when putting them on the plugs... just no click .

|Bruins Trade For Drew Stafford
|Black and Gold Bruins Turn Yellow On Parade Day
|Inconsistency Will Continue For Bruins Unless A Change Is Made
The same day he was reported to have failed a drug test in 2003, David Ortiz blasted a three run home run to put the Red Sox past the Athletics, 8-5. Down 4-1 at one point, Boston was able to climb back and get the win behind the play of Ortiz and Jason Varitek. Varitek had three hits and three RBI on the day.
Things began well for starting pitcher Jon Lester, who didn't allow a hit until there were two outs in the third. A Vartiek broken bat single scored Jason Bay in the second, an inning where the Boston bats seemed to get going.
With the 1-0 lead going into the sixth, things began to get rocky. Lester gave up four runs in the inning, capped off by a Rajai Davis bloop hit that scored Jack Cust and Bobby Crosby. The Sox followed in the bottom half of the inning with a Mike Lowell double, scoring Ortiz and a Varitek single scoring Lowell.
Oakland's Tommy Everidge added his second RBI of the day in the seventh, giving the A's the 5-3 lead. With the Sox coming to the plate, things looked dismal as Pedroia grounded into a double play. After a misplay by Cust, Youkilis got a double and Jason Bay walked. With two on, and two out, Ortiz drilled a ball into the center field bleachers to put the Sox up for good.
Additional hits from Varitek and Ellsbury gave added insurance for Boston and put the Sox up for good. The win salvages the series for Boston, who dropped two home game to Oakland earlier in the series.
The Sox will now head to Baltimore for a three-game series against the Orioles beginning tomorrow. Boston will try to keep up with the Yankees, and are now three games behind New York in the AL East.
The Captain had three hits and three RBI's in leading the Sox with his bat.
In a game where Boston bats got heated up, Pedroia went 0-5 and struggled to even make contact.
"Did he just break his bat?!… they just don't make 'em like they used to", former Red Sox player Bob Montgomery, who was announcing the game for NESN.

LP: Breslow (4-5)

A group of boys were playing on the banks of the Rio Grande River, just a few miles from El Paso when a Border Patrol agents came upon the scene. What next happened depends on who is telling the story. According to the official border patrol agency, the following occurred when an agent captured one of the boys. The agent had "subject detained on the ground, gave verbal commands to the remaining subjects to stop and retreat. However, the subjects surrounded the agent and continued to throw rocks at him. The agent then fired his service weapon several times, striking one subject who later died." However, there is a video of the scene which offers a slightly different version of events. A video shows three people running from the Border Patrol agents. One is caught and the agent is holding him down with one hand while the other is raised and has a revolver. A voice said, "he hit him, the idiot him him." Another voice says, "It's because they are throwing stones."
Those are the versions. I am an inhabitant of planet Earth. On planet Earth there are creatures known as humans, but apparently on planet Border Patrol there are creatures known as "Subjects." On my planet we do not kill humans, but on planet Border Patrol, they kill Subjects. We leave it to those reading whether or not a Subject should have been killed.

Sleep Has No Master (edition 2012)
by Jon Konrath
Work details
Sleep Has No Master by Jon Konrath
No current Talk conversations about this book.
Jesus Christ, Konrath and I should never be in the same room together.
I think ultimately what makes this book so fucking good is not that it clearly ripped off all of my memories and crammed them into a short story collection. It is so good because Konrath knows how to take the irritations of just being alive and turn them into something that some might call Kafkaesque, but I won't because I fear hipsters showing up and yelling at me for being so lame as to use the term. Nevertheless, Konrath has a keen eye for the details of mundane life and how they just absolutely suck. I recall Robert Crumb saying that he tended to blank out urban blight – like how electricity poles looked and the way urban streets were laid out – and he had to take pictures of such places and objects in order to reproduce them accurately in his drawings. Such things are visually unappealing but a drawing of a city street would be incomplete without them. Konrath is intimately familiar with blight – the eternal cosmic noise and pop culture references and memes and endless, almost Tarantino-esque conversations that make up the lives of the ordinary and often completely insane modern man. He finds a pathos where other writers might find ennui. He creates humor where others might find disaffected annoyance. To make the small indignities, random events and looming horrors of this life so very funny while maintaining a genuinely absurdist edge is its own genius. Konrath is, in his own unsettling way, a weird hero.
I cannot state emphatically enough how funny this book is. It was funny on a soul level, so specifically funny that it really did ring my paranoia bell until my increasingly diminishing common sense kicked in.
I say read this. Read it now. Now now now! Read and let me know what references Konrath stole from your brain. I cannot file a class action lawsuit on my own, you know.
Highly recommended.

REVIEW ALSO ON: http://bibliomantics.com/2012/11/04/bizarro-blursday-cassie-la-reviews-sleep-has...
This is one of those books you need to read all the way through, starting with the hilarious multi-page disclaimer full of every warning already known to mankind. Konrath apologizes for "Resemblances to actual persons living, dead, or undead…" makes note to readers that, "This book should not be considered a legitimate historical document," and that it "Mentions chemicals known to the state of California to cause cancer." Also it may cause "nausea" or "vomiting", is not a toy and should not be used as fuel and most importantly it, "Does not protect against HIV … Or other sexual transmitted diseases." Just in case you thought it did.
The chapter/story titles give you a hint of the insanity and depravity to come, with half of them sounding like "Big Bang Theory" episode titles and all of them making you wonder just what could possibly happen in a story with a title like: "Tesla Motors Doesn't Have a Blowjob Referral Program". Other noteworthy story titles include: "The Gamecube Junkie Abortionist's Revenge", "The George Washington Buttplug" (no relation to The Baby Jesus Butt Plug), "Art Garfunkel is my Copilot", "Fifty Shades of Napalm" and "With Friends Like These, Who Needs Enemas?" Don't answer that, it's rhetorical.
Despite being a short story collection, they all feature the same narrator (at least I'm 90% sure they do) a struggling writer with sleep deprivation problems and his insane group of friends. Specifically: Fat Mike, Alex, Rocky, Odin (who has a grudge against Thor) and Marshall. Although the stories aren't linear, they are still set in the same world whether it be the past in a community called Bighikistan, the present in New York City or the not so distant future. Or maybe not future, I'm honestly not entirely sure, this collection is a mind-fuck of epic proportions.
In this collection, we are also given a set of works laden with pop-culture and set in a world strangely similar to yet certainly not our own. For example, Bighikistan, is a fictional place full of red-necks who believe in high school demolition derby teams, a reliance on energy drinks and herbal supplements, and "mandatory religious literature condemning science". We are never told if these stories are taking place in an alternate version of America or if our untrustworthy narrator just sees the world differently thanks to his inability to sleep properly and every story found within is just a dream or paranoid delusion he witnesses while awake. Or a little bit of both. Although this is bizarro, so an explanation might not really be required.
Our nameless narrator (possibly a hyper-exaggerated Jon Konrath, maybe not) lives in an America struggling to rebuild after the fast food wars and the tooth whitener market crashes. On the plus side there are time machines (some of which are in USB adapters) just don't buy the cheap ones that only allow you to travel forward and backward 10 years in alternate universes only. I'd still buy it, who wouldn't want to visit their alternate self and see how much better their life could be? Wait…
And of course there's the satire on our consumerism and fame obsessed America. A world in which Bill Gate's lifelong dream was to, "Write really shitty software that always crashed" (which he unfortunately achieved), people purchase exercise bikes that beat you in the head with sticks, the franchise Uncle Kenny's Sex Dungeon can be found inside every Barnes and Noble in the country and even time machines make you watch five minutes of advertisements every two minutes. Then of course there's the carcinoma fad in which celebrities make cancer cool so everyone is standing out in the sun and watching microwaves so they can have leukemia just like their idol Brad Pitt. Ugh, this is so close to reality it makes me want to stab myself in the leg. With a Kardashian endorsed knife of course.
Children don't have things much better, in a world where Goofus and Gallant have been replaced with Highlights Extreme (which features BASE jumping and serial-killers) and Pixar is making animated snuff films, although they still have "moralist plots" for the parents. They're also forced to watch cinema masterpieces such as the 3-D Lion King sequel Godzilla Versus the Lion King with voice over work by Samuel L. Jackson. Okay I take it back, most of these things are awesome and I kind of wish they were real.
That's not to say just the world is weird, the people who populate it aren't the most normal citizens in the multi-verse. Retired ex-wrestler Terry Funk teaches an honors calculus course (very poorly), the narrator's friend Alex's dad runs a "profitable prepaid colostomy card business" at a kiosk in the mall and Alex himself quit school to deal drugs and raise a pod of dolphins in the pool of his apartment complex. As the narrator makes note of, "Every place I ever leased would give me shit about the most miniscule things, like mixing paper and metal recyclables… Or leaving a severed foot in the front lobby," yet in this magical world one can raise dolphins in a chlorinated swimming pool!?!
My absolute favorite story ("Fifty Shades of Napalm") is the one in which the characters break the fourth wall and discuss the spelling of words so that the reader of the story can understand the difference between ball sac and Balzac. Or the inclusion of a scene integral to the plot but so heinous that it would scare publishers away at the same time: enter Vietnam, masturbation and children engulfed in flames. The chapter ends with a plea to us (the readers) to like the book so much that we tell everyone to buy it so, "It becomes as popular as those vampire romance teenage wizard books, but not so popular that someone buys it and edits it into a god damned Julia Roberts movie." I'm a sucker for meta.

Wikipedia in English
Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0984422358, Paperback)Can we tell the difference between our dreams and reality? In his latest collection of short stories and flash fiction, Jon Konrath dances between metafiction and nihilism in an absurdist world of geek culture where cancer is the latest fashion trend, books have been replaced in schools with episodes of Barney Miller, time travel is possible but annoying because of the commercials, and mutant krill/human hybrids perform special forces military operations in Iran. Each story either shows the narrator's past in a land called Bighikistan, or peeks at his subconscious in a series of insomnia-influenced dreams and nightmares. In the 27 fast-paced stories that make up Konrath's bizarro compendium, themes drift from finding meaning in life ("Oil Change Introspection Therapy"), political extremism ("Tree AIDS and the Slurpee Abortion Speech"), and sexual fetish ("The George Washington Buttplug"). The absurdism challenges and humors readers with taboo subjects such as big-budget snuff film cartoons, franchised bondage dungeons in airports, and hundreds of protestors self-immolating themselves because of a nationwide McRib ban. Filled with dark humor and outrageous stylings, this compilation drifts through a paranoid Kafkaesque dreamscape parodying the information overload of the modern world.

How are ye landlubbers doing this fine day? Today on our adventures, we will finally explore the Gold Mines on the Isle of Doom! Last time we visited Flotsam again and recruited a new member to our crew named Bones McGee! He is a Musketeer.
As we step off the ship on the Isle of Doom docks, we see the entrance is very ancient looking. When we head inside we find a small village of Monquistans!
LOL! Ratbeard interupts the Foreman when he says the last line above. "Pshaw! They may be short, and a bit stinky, but they're hardly as bad as all that!" - Ratbeard he didn't mean literally he meant they are actually revolting against them. Hahaha
After confronting the nearby Watermoles in the area they tell us they will continue to revolt while Haku stands. We venture inside of the ancient temple (pictured at the top) to find Haku, the leader of the Revolt!
While inside, there is a sidequest battle pictured above with a special requirement. The mobs do not move towards you, they stay in a line protecting the leader. You have to "Break the formation" meaning you have to defeat one of them to gain access to the leader in the back
After finding the room Haku is in, we confront him. He says we are too late and the "Old Ones will rise!" This battle is pretty simple mob and Haku the witchdoctor. Just focus your attacks on Haku - After you defeat him he will call out and summon an Aztecosaur Mummy!
This guy can be a challenge! He shoots laser beams from his eyes and growls out mojo towards you. After the fight, Haku says his people and himself will make peace with the Monkeys!
Once we go back to the Foreman and tell him that Haku wants to make peace, he helps us about finding Gortez! He gives us a lead and direction which is always helpful. Before heading up the trail to "Troggy country" we have another Witchdoctor exclusive companion to get! :) After completing some Side quests in the Gold Mine area, one of the monquistans will have a quest for you to get the companion as a reward!
Next time on our adventures we will be exploring the Troggy infested area on the Isle of Doom and continue our quest to find Gortez! Thank you for reading! See you in the skyways!

Teachers or Parents: Have the children sit on the floor and
pretend that they are on a mountaintop and learning at Jesus'
feet. Ask: "How is this classroom different from classrooms you
have seen?" "How is it like them?" Read various portions of the
"Sermon on the Mount" (Matthew 5-7) that they might understand
(such as Matthew 7:7-11 -- prayer; 7:12 -- the Golden Rule; 7:15
-- being true). Be careful -- many parts of the Sermon on the

All I can think is that she come to realize what it might mean to him, the minister, if he married a come-outer.
He's a dear good soul as ever was, but he is the narrowest kind of come-outer.
He was still pastor of the Regular church and she was a come-outer.
The come-outer chapel was as bare inside, almost, as it was without.
Which was tolerable radical for a come-outer to say, seems to me.
If she were not a come-outer, he could meet her occasionally and they might become friends.
And—as you might expect from that kind of a man—he was more down on tobacco than the come-outer parson himself.
At the come-outer chapel the testifying and singing were in full blast.
There were nine chances out of ten that whoever found it would recognize it as belonging to the old "come-outer."
Let her holler; 'twill do her good and keep her in practice for come-outer meetin'.

Leukemia Survivor Stories
Advice for My Teenage Self
by Julia Hernandez
You never expect to be told that you have cancer, but on February 14, 2010, Valentine's Day, it happened to me. In a matter of days, I went from being a typical 16-year-old girl, worried about my upcoming driver's license test, to a cancer survivor living in a hospital.
One Step at a Time
by Matt Jones
On January 29, 2016, I crossed the finish line of my seventh marathon on my seventh continent. Just three days prior, I completed my sixth marathon on my sixth continent, Antarctica – yes, I ran a marathon in Antarctica. But twelve years earlier, at age 25, I was relearning how to walk.
How Martin Sheen Helped Me Survive Cancer
by Susan Groh
Life has a funny way of giving you the things you need. When I was diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia, I felt like a ship cut free of its moorings during a storm. I cast about trying to come to grips with my diagnosis and find safe harbor, until a conversation with actor Martin Sheen provided the anchor I needed.
Signs along My Road Trip through Cancer
by Jody Winsick-Soluri
My journey through leukemia over the past six years has seemed somewhat like a road trip to an undetermined destination. Along the way, I've encountered several road signs, just as you would on any period of extended travel.
Words of Wisdom from "The Running Rabbi"
by Rabbi Hirshel Jaffe
In 1978, I bounded across the finish line of the New York City Marathon wearing a shirt identifying me as "The Running Rabbi." I was equally as tireless in my calling as a rabbi in Newburgh, NY. I had marched for civil rights in the 1960s, rallied to free Soviet Jews, and in 1980 visited the hostages held in Iran. I'd never been sick in my life. I felt indestructible. That was then.

Three Life-Changing Words
by Darren Neuberger
"You have cancer." It's funny how three words can stop you in your tracks and send you to a place of uncertainty and confusion. That was my reality when I was told that I had cancer at age 34. A nagging cough for seven months was my only noticeable symptom, but thanks to the persistence of my wife, Jaylene, I am alive and extremely well today, almost seven years after treatment.
American Cancer Society Nutrition Guidelines Stress Need for Supportive Environment
Updated guidelines on nutrition and physical activity for cancer prevention from the American Cancer Society stress the importance of creating social and physical environments that support healthy behaviors. The report includes updated recommendations for individual choices regarding diet and physical activity patterns, but emphasizes that those choices occur within a community context that can either help or hinder healthy behaviors.

Taking advantage of a drying track and a late crash, Paul di Resta emerged as the quickest driver in the first practice session for the Canadian Grand Prix on Friday.
Practice began after the rains, forecast for Friday and Saturday, had halted 30 minutes before the scheduled start but the initial laps were run on full wet tyres, later switching to intermediates and then the dry compounds towards the end.
Pirelli had brought developmental prototype tyres to evaluate in practice but had only limited running – and consequently limited learning - towards the end.
The Force India driver's time around the Circuit Gilles Villenueve was 1 minute 21.020 seconds, which was about 5.5 seconds slower than the quickest time set in first practice last year.
Drivers and teams continued to assess the condition of the circuit before switching over to the dry compounds, resulting in a few slides and slips over the course of the session.
Halfway in, Jules Bianchi ended up down the escape road at Turn 3 with the team requesting the Frenchman to switch the engine off. His session ended after just eight laps.
"To confirm, nothing wrong with Jules' car and no damage," Marussia confirmed on its Twitter page. "Just an off, he tried to turn and get back on track but everything got a bit hot."
Lewis Hamilton, meanwhile, ran onto the grass at Turn 14 after he found traffic obstructing his entry into the final chicane on his hot lap just past the halfway mark. The Mercedes had swerved to avoid the Red Bull of Mark Webber and went over the run off area further ahead, going hard over the newly laid 50mm-high 'speed bumps' installed after the apex adjacent to the start-finish straight.
In the closing stages, Pastor Maldonado slipped at Turn 4 , crashed into the wall and damaged his front wing. The driver was unhurt after the shunt but the waving yellow flags meant that several drivers out on the circuit at the time had to back off significantly.
McLaren driver Jenson Button was 0.088 seconds slower in second followed by Lotus' Romain Grosjean. Fernando Alonso was nearly three-tenths off the pace in fourth in his Ferrari while Kimi Raikkonen was just over half a second slower than di Resta in fifth.
Daniel Ricciardo of Toro Rosso was sixth, ahead of Mercedes' Nico Rosberg and Sergio Perez. The Red Bull drivers rounded up the top ten with Sebastian Vettel ahead of teammate Webber. Felipe Massa was 11th and Hamilton 16th.

I like this piece from PopMatters about the best trailers for upcoming films, mainly because it features a bunch of previews I hadn't seen yet.
For instance, what's up with that insane (and NSFW) Red State trailer? Also, even though you know Puss in Boots is going to cough up a hairball, the trailer is pretty funny:
And then there's the preview for the U.S. version of Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, which makes it look very promising:
And finally, there are the glossy, action-packed two minutes hyping the Mission: Impossible movie, which I don't want to see but I DO.
Nice to know we have several flicks to look forward to in the post-summer months.

CANADA STOCKS-TSX falls as lower commodity prices hurt resource stocks
TORONTO Oct 19 (Reuters) - Canada's main stock index ended lower on Monday, with its large resource-related component pulled down by a sharp fall in oil prices and weakness in other commodities, while most other sectors rose.
The Toronto Stock Exchange's S&P/TSX composite index unofficially closed down 79.72 points, or 0.58 percent, at 13,758.38. Seven of its 10 main groups gained. (Reporting by Alastair Sharp; Editing by Chris Reese)

they own the footage and can use it. there is no doubt about that. not saying they are contracted to pay extra.
but it must make it a tad awkward dealing with him. they are boosting him up. telling him he is a big name, legend, getting big fights and he really helps to make their shows in brazil all the more successful.. but they are still advertising his most crushing loss in neon lights on each of their ppv's.
No worse than Hendo v Pettis showtime kick really, suppose whoever the fighter is, being on the end of a highlight reel sucks and there are a fair few on the opening montage... They probably just gave Vitor some clean needles to make up for it.

Heavy rain greets morning commuters
As the heaviest rains of the week thus far sweep through the metro area, there is the potential for high water problems during your morning commute.
Among the streets that frequently pond during heavy rains, North Keystone experienced local flooding at both Kessler Blvd. and 71st Street, where several cars stalled in high water.
Crews also had to rescue a driver after they were caught in high water in the area of 52nd and Moller.
Boone County reports heavy rain throughout the county due to the overnight rain.
A three-car accident in Lebanon closed S.R. 39 at Fordice in all directions. The injuries are not believed to be life-threatening.
Just two days ago there was plenty of ice and snow on the ground. Under that ice were leaves and dirt which created the perfect dam for street drains. If you didn't shovel out your drains then, you could wake up to a surprise this morning if heavy rain falls in your neighborhood.
The Department of Public Works puts the responsibility for keeping the street drains clear on the residents living around the drains.

Like Miller|Hull, Lake/Flato Architects has widened its scope of work to include master planning. One such project, Pearl Brewery, is currently under way along the banks of the San Antonio River, just a mile and a half from the firm's offices.
Lake/Flato and developer Silver Ventures agreed housing would play a key part in the project, which adapts a former brewery into a mixed-use village. The firm's master plan dictates that the historic structures on the site—some more than 100 years old—undergo restoration, while newer warehouse buildings are transformed. (The Can Recycle Building, below, with design concept by Lake/Flato and architecture by Durand–Hollis Rupe Architects, is an example of the latter strategy.) "The point was to keep the site kind of gritty," says principal David Lake, FAIA. Old brewing vats will harvest rainwater, and a large array of PV panels will collect solar energy.
A handful of other designers are also involved in Pearl Brewery, including Lake/Flato progenitor Ford Powell & Carson and Moule & Polyzoides.

For those who missed the recent ITU-T workshop The Fully Networked Car - a Workshop on ICT in Motor Vehicles, all sessions and conclusions are now available on the web. ITU's Internet Broadcasting Service (IBS) is hosting an audio-archive of the event, that took place during the Geneva Motor Show, 2 - 4 March.
The workshop brought together more than 100 experts from the ICT and car industries. During nine sessions, topics such as the need for consensus between the public and private sectors and business models for interlinking the car and telecom businesses were discussed. Technically oriented sessions examined topics such as telematics and diagnostics, safety, the integration of in-vehicle systems with existing and future telecommunications infrastructures, and seamless communications on the move.
Paul Najarian, Director of Telecommunication and Standards, for the Intelligent Transportation Society of America (ITS America) stressed the need for more standardization in the field of ICT in vehicles: "The workshop has shown that both the automotive and the telecommunication industry clearly benefit from standardization initiatives. The fully networked car can only be achieved by fostering collaborative efforts on the international level."
A lengthier feature-story on the car-workshop will be linked to in the next e-Flash.

Regulatory Compliance, Improving Operational Efficiency and Support for New Clinical Applications Are Top Drivers of Healthcare IT Spending
CommVault (NASDAQ: CVLT) — NEW ORLEANS, HIMSS 13, Booth #4755 — March 4, 2013
CommVault today announced at HIMSS 13 the results of its 2013 Health IT Survey, which reveals the various measures organizations are taking to improve the management and protection of all forms of electronic medical records (EMRs) and address HITECH, Meaningful Use and HIPAA compliance requirements.
The survey, which was conducted by HIMSS Media and commissioned by CommVault, polled [416] healthcare professionals who work in healthcare systems, multi-hospital systems, stand-alone hospitals, outpatient and other related healthcare providers or organizations to determine the most significant drivers behind their investments in data management technology. According to those polled, regulatory compliance continues to be the most important driver in IT spending, followed by the need to improve operational efficiency and provide better support for new applications and systems across clinical, operational, virtual and increasingly mobile environments.
The HIMSS Media survey also asked participants to identify the applications and business needs driving the most growth in their organizations and to list their top infrastructure investments for this year. EMRs and Picture Archiving and Communications Systems (PACS) were cited as the biggest contributors to data growth. Additionally, top areas of infrastructure investment include:
Increased Demands to Protect, Manage & Access Critical Healthcare Information The impact of healthcare reform has resulted in a rapid surge in data creation, which intensifies the need to properly secure, protect, index and retain all types of information and patient records to comply with regulatory requirements. U.S. medical imaging data, for example, is growing exponentially as advancements in PACS technology are leading to the production of more and larger image files.
Additionally, the widespread adoption of mobile devices by physicians and clinicians for use in patient care delivery creates new data management and security challenges. Nearly 61 percent of those surveyed cited a concern about managing, protecting and securing unstructured protected health information (PHI), such as emails, stored on laptops, tablets and smartphones within healthcare environments.
Survey respondents also were asked whether their organizations had implemented an eDiscovery or enterprise search solution to support regulatory compliance around HIPAA or Payment Card Industry (PCI) standards. However, only 26 percent of those polled reported having a solution in place, which reveals a compliance risk exposure. Strategic data archives with enterprise-wide search can empower healthcare IT teams to ease the burden of data discovery and preservation, while reducing compliance risk and data storage costs.
CommVault's new Simpana® 10 software provides healthcare organizations with an exponential leap forward in protection, access and analysis of vital patient data, business information and electronic medical records. With Simpana 10, CommVault continues to deliver the industry's leading data protection with archive, reporting, eDiscovery and search capabilities within a unified platform. By delivering new automation, scale and self-service access, Simpana 10 is an essential component to modernize healthcare data management strategies as it helps healthcare organizations to improve operational efficiency, support new initiatives such as mobile clinical computing and information governance, plan for disaster recovery, and minimize storage costs – all within the context of ensuring regulatory compliance.
With Simpana 10 software, healthcare professionals can rapidly search and retrieve PACS images and electronic records housed in the ContentStore, even if the data originated from multiple PACS platforms. A centralized archive supports both Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine (DICOM) and non-DICOM data, to improve efficiency and control data management costs for healthcare providers.
CommVault will highlight its latest healthcare innovations at HIMSS13 and will demonstrate how Simpana software alleviates the obstacles inherent in addressing and managing the current explosion in clinical and operational data growth.

Professor's study of romance novel helps bring genre respect
And that, in no small part, is due to McDaniel English Professor Pam Regis.
A leading crusader and an oft-quoted scholar on romance literature, she is the author of "A Natural History of the Romance Novel" – the 2003 landmark book that helped bring acceptance and respect to the genre.
Regis has been quoted in newspaper and magazine articles and invited to speak at conferences, including the July 2009 national convention of the 10,000-member strong Romance Writers of America and a scholarly conference called "Love as the Practice of Freedom? Romance Fiction and American Culture," sponsored in April by none other than the bastion of academic respectability, Princeton University.
Her expertise and opinions appear in stories in the Los Angeles Times, U.S.A. Today, the Chicago Tribune and in a June 2009 New Yorker piece on Nora Roberts – which Regis points out is a double whammy.
"I'm there (quoted in the article) because of my having made the point that the romance is not 'just' trash," she says, underscoring the significance of a publication such as the New Yorker profiling the top-selling romance writer.
Such was not always the case.
In fact, these are fairly recent developments. In the early years of Regis' scholarly attention to romance fiction as a form worth studying, she was criticized and all but ostracized from the academic community when she presented a paper noting Jane Austen as a romance writer. Furthermore, the Johns Hopkins-educated professor said in her presentation, the early 19th -century British author of "Pride and Prejudice" and "Emma" was a genius, in her time and today for that matter, the best romance writer ever.
"Austen is THE best – she deploys the structure better than anyone has," Regis says. "When I teach Austen, I teach, among other theories, my view of her work through my work on romance."
Although nearly 20 years have passed, Regis will always remember it as her Davy Crockett moment since the paper was delivered in San Antonio, home of The Alamo, where the famed frontiersman and statesman perished.
"Oh, it was ugly. I was under siege," said Regis last week. "They attacked. They handed me my head."
In those days, Regis stood essentially alone among academics in believing that romance fiction is indeed worthy of study and recognition as a legitimate, centuries-old form. The harsh criticism rattled the young professor, but she remained undaunted.
A self-confessed "Janeite," as Kipling dubbed Austen fans, she had become interested in romance novels for two reasons. First, a friend in graduate school, Dr. Kathleen Gilles Seidel, pursued a career as a romance novelist instead of a college professor, and the two talked about Seidel's work.
"And two, the romance criticism that was around when I began my thinking about the form in the early '80s was so negative, so condemnatory of the form, that I thought, 'Really!? Can all these women really be choosing to read such toxic literature, and is it really harming them in the ways that these critics claim?'" Regis says.
"My answer to these critics was 'A Natural History of the Romance Novel.'"
Published by University of Pennsylvania Press in 2003 and available through McDaniel's bookstore and Barnes & Noble and Amazon online, Regis' treatise traces romance literature back to Samuel Richardson's 1740 blockbuster hit, "Pamela." She defines the romance novel as "the story of the courtship and betrothal of one or more heroines," and notes eight essential elements of the story.
No matter what obstacles the heroes and heroines encounter along the way, romance novels all have happy endings, Regis says. Critics often claimed that the storyline was "silly and empty-headed," but Regis sees "serious ideas." She counters critics who said the genre was about women's bondage with her belief that it is about freedom and so "popular because it conveys the pain, uplift, and joy that freedom brings."
At the same time, other literature professors were beginning to take a different view of romance novels. They too were studying it as a literary genre – some inspired by Regis' book and others on their own. One young professor approached Regis at a conference and told her how much she loved the book and asked if they could talk.
Slowly but steadily, romance fiction was attracting the attention of serious literary scholars. The number of readers was also increasing, Regis says, and they weren't hiding out in closets devouring these sometimes steamy tales of love. They read Harlequin imprints in plain view on the subway and in the neighborhood park.
Women from Wall Street to Main Street, in laboratories and lavatories, openly consumed such titles as "Vision in White" from Roberts' Bride Quartet and Jodi Thomas' "Tall, Dark, and Texan." And, they unabashedly clamored for more.
That was the tipping point, Regis says, explaining that acceptance grew gradually with multiple catalysts. Serious scholars across three generations are studying what they now recognize as a literary genre. There are not only more readers but they are more than willing to admit they read and enjoyed "Sizzle and Burn" by Jayne Ann Krentz and "The Edge of Desire" by Stephanie Laurens. At the same time, the audience of receptive critics has grown.
Today, Regis is a member of a group of professors from around the country who have a blog – in several variations of hot pink – about romance novels called "Teach Me Tonight: Musings on Romance Fiction from an Academic Perspective." ( http://teachmetonight.blogspot.com/ )
Recently, she was named vice president of the newly formed International Association for the Study of Popular Romance, ( http://iaspr.org/ ) an organization founded by popular-romance scholars Sarah Frantz and Eric Sellinger to further scholarship in the academic field and to publish the Journal of Popular Romance Studies, which will debut in February.
And these days, when her office phone rings, it could be the New York Times or the online Huffington Post or a morning talk show asking her to give her take on romance novels – and the hows and whys of their acceptance and respectability – or the latest romance title to hit the Top 10 list of bestsellers.
