The return of the NHL
Surprising, surging Sabres are for real
'"The players that played there and are playing with us now know what it's about. They know that it's about team, it's about finding ways to win, it's about focus, it's about roles and responsibilities. "But more than anything it's about keeping the team first. I do think that that's had a very positive impact on our team this year. Even head coach Lindy Ruff expressed some surprise at the way his team took flight after the first month of the season."'
Meet the Sabres: Jay McKee
'"So, how about the best Christmas gift you've ever got as a grown up."
McKee: "Oh, I don't know. All I get anymore is socks and underwear. So, I guess whatever kind of underwear comes my way is the nicest thing I get now."'
Miller makes a statement
'"He was solid," Sabres coach Lindy Ruff said of Miller. "He saw everything. He was totally under control. He made big saves when we needed big saves. He gave us momentum. He made the saves that picked the bench up. That was a big part of tonight's game. He was just looking to make a statement."'
Bad news for Briere means surgery
'"It's the same time frame as J.P., the two-month range," Ruff said. "We're looking at the same operation and the same length of recovery."'

Buffalo 4, Atlanta 1
'Miller helped bail out a Buffalo team that started out sluggish following a draining 4-3 shootout loss to Toronto the night before. "I don't know if that's the case, but we trade on and off all the time," Miller said. "They did a good job penalty killing tonight, and they did me a lot of favors as well."'
Sabres C Briere to have surgery for sports hernia
'"It's a big hit," Sabres coach Lindy Ruff said. "He's a game-breaker and we're going to miss him."'
Miller shines again as Sabres roll over Thrashers
'Buffalo's starting goalie at the beginning of the season, Miller was sidelined from November 3-December 9 with a fractured thumb. He has been outstanding since returning, winning all four of his outings and posting a .950 save percentage in the process.'
Sabres C Briere out indefinitely with abdominal tear
'"He battled through, played a couple of games," Buffalo's coach said. "It's a very small tear, especially in comparison to (right wing J.P. Dumont's sports hernia injury). It obviously causes just as much pain. There isn't any difference at all."'
Buffalo 4, Atlanta 1
'Thomas Vanek, Maxim Afinogenov and Mike Grier netted goals for the Sabres, winners of three of their last four games. Ryan Miller made 34 saves to pick up his 10th win of the season.'
Sabres Mow Down Thrashers 4-1
'Miller got the Sabres through a lackluster first period, but then they came out firing in the second. Chris Drury netted a power play goal just 51 seconds into the period to give Buffalo the lead and they would never let it go.'
Miller solid, surgery for Briere
'"He made big saves when we needed big saves."'

Having finally managed to upgrade my kernel to version 126.96.36.199 i now have support for all the nifty new hardware in my centrino 2 based laptop. All the intel goodies are running as per specification it seems. However, wireless injection (not in the spec) isn't working.

ESRL Science Making a Difference in Real-time GPS Positioning
Scientists at ESRL's Global Systems Division (GSD) are known for transferring their advances in science and technology to operations and have made exciting progress with a product called NOAATrop. NOAATrop was developed to improve GPS positioning, navigation and timing accuracy using real-time weather data. The California Spatial Reference Center (CSRC) at Scripps Institution of Oceanography recently started using NOAATrop for real-time engineering applications in southern California. "This is the first known operational application of a weather model being used to improve high accuracy GPS surveying," said Seth Gutman, NOAA scientist whose years of research at ESRL's Global Systems Division in Boulder have made this advancement possible.
Almost everyone has heard of GPS - the satellite Global Positioning System. GPS was developed by the U.S. Department of Defense to tell us basically three things - where we are, how to get where we want to be, and what time it is right now. This is commonly referred to as "PNT" which stands for positioning, navigation, and timing. GPS is a "dual-use" system in that it has both military and civilian applications. To facilitate the development of civilian applications, the U.S. Government makes the radio signals broadcast by the GPS satellites available to every user free of fees. As a result of this policy, a multi-billion dollar industry has developed to exploit the benefits of GPS for civilian applications. For example, a commercial GPS navigation system in your car tells you where you are on an electronic map that is constantly updated as you move. Computer software in the navigation system tells you the best route to take to get to your destination. Wireless communications between your navigation system and a traffic management system tell you the best route to take to avoid delays or hazards.
According to Gutman, "The largest source of PNT error comes from the slowing and bending of the GPS radio signals as they pass through the Earth's atmosphere" Scientists involved in using GPS for very high accuracy positioning applications, like the ones at NOAA's National Geodetic Survey, developed techniques to treat the atmosphere as a source of noise or measurement error and remove it to improve their GPS positioning accuracy. Gutman continued, "We realized that most of the "noise" actually comes from water vapor in the lower atmosphere, and that improved ways to monitor water vapor would lead to improved weather forecasts and climate monitoring." The operational use of this new and heretofore unavailable water vapor information by the National Centers for Environmental Prediction (Figure 1) has resulted in substantial improvement in U.S. weather forecast accuracy in recent years.
It did not take long for ESRL scientists to realize that if they could use GPS data to improve weather forecasts, then improved weather model assimilating GPS observations could probably be used to estimate and correct for the atmospheric signal delays that are a major source of GPS PNT error. To verify this, they developed NOAATrop, a model that uses the ESRL Rapid Update Cycle (RUC) weather prediction model to calculate real-time atmospheric correctors for high accuracy GPS positioning applications.
Figure 2 is a map of the Continental U.S. highlighting three regions where the use of the NOAATrop model has been independently evaluated by three universities. The Table in this figure compares GPS positioning accuracy using the NOAATrop model with the accuracy achieved using a conventional correction method known as the Saastamoinen model. This model does not use information about the atmosphere per se, but uses information about how the atmosphere changes on average over North America. The smallest improvement in real-time positioning accuracy (about 9%) is seen in the Southeast U.S. where moisture variability is high and terrain relief is low. The largest improvement (about 25%) is seen in the Western U.S. (California) where moisture variability is low but terrain relief is high. In between is the Great Lakes Region (Michigan) where terrain and moisture variability vary widely. The improvement here is better than 16%.
The RUC forecast model is reinitialized every hour using the latest observations including approximately 300 GPS precipitable water vapor measurements made every half-hour over the United States. "RUC is the highest frequency NOAA weather model and particularly well suited for this unique real-time application," stated Gutman. Figure 3 illustrates how it works.
Initial tests in California using NOAATrop as part of the CSRC Height Modernization project were very positive, yielding 15-25% improvement in accuracy with the greatest improvement shown in height measurements made during rapidly changing weather conditions. "From CSRC's perspective, using NOAATrop increases the accuracy and productivity of field surveys for its user community," said Yehuda Bock, Director of CSRC. Based on their experience, the NOAATrop is currently being used in the Central Valley as a way to increase accuracy and productivity of their road and infrastructure surveys.
Gutman highlighted his lab's cooperation with several agencies on the NOAATrop project. One in particular, the Nationwide Differential GPS Service, has served as part of the nationwide backbone for high accuracy surveys like the ones in California. The exciting thing is that the new development of applications for NOAATrop extends beyond these surveys and leads to cooperation with a number of external partners. "The potential for this product doesn't stop here", said Gutman. National Resources Canada (NRCan) Canadian Geological Survey is working with the California Spatial Reference Center at Scripps on NOAATrop applications to
serve another valuable societal need. By using NOAATrop, scientists who study changes in the land surface due to earthquakes can continuously monitor the positions of GPS receivers in real time with unprecedented accuracy. This has potential application in tsunami warnings along the Pacific Coast on the US and Canada.
ESRL research efforts have helped attain milestones within the surveying community and the laboratories look forward to broader applications of this technology within and outside of NOAA in the future. They continue to support NOAA's mission goal to serve society's needs for weather and water information as well as the goal to support our nation's commerce with information for safe, efficient, and environmentally sound transportation.

Laura Ingraham: A source tells me Paul Ryan might be in line to replace Boehner as Speaker
posted at 3:01 pm on December 22, 2012 by Allahpundit
Via the Daily Caller. The possibility that Boehner will be dumped on January 3, especially if he makes a deal with Obama before then, is real. (There's already a plan circulating to make it happen, per Breitbart.com.) The possibility of Ryan replacing him is not, for two reasons. One: Ryan's a Boehner loyalist. He even backed him on Plan B. Maybe he'd agree to step in if the GOP caucus ended up hopelessly divided between Boehner and Not Boehner and he was the only candidate able to unite the two sides, but that would have to be some deadlock for him to feel moved to step in. Two: The Speakership will be an even more thankless job next year than it is now. See Nate Silver's back-of-the-envelope math about ideological divisions among the incoming class. There are three major groups — establishment Republicans, tea partiers, and hardcore liberals — plus a tiny little sliver of centrist Democrats. Which means that if even a small group of tea partiers walks away from any given bill, the Speaker will have basically no Blue Dog votes with which to replace them. Compromise bills will thus have to be a bit more liberal than they are now in hopes of getting to 218 with some combination of House progressives and centrist Republicans. What sort of aspiring Republican presidential nominee wants to preside over a clusterfark like that? Speaker Ryan would be forever torn between tea-party-driven standoffs with Obama over the budget, which are always risky given the public's penchant for blaming Republicans, and demoralizing caves to the left by making deals with Pelosi to push stuff through. One way or another, he'd be brutally weakened in 2016 either in the primaries or the general. No thanks.

The Poem Stuck in My Head
Frederick Seidel's "Spin"By Andrew Sean Greer
Nothing suits me as well as the combination of sweet and sour. It explains my love of Thai food and women rockers who sing like robots about heartbreak. It also explains my love of Frederick Seidel's poetry. Apparently it's not to everyone's taste; he has been called the "Darth Vader of American poetry" for such seemingly cruel lines as "A naked woman my age is just a total nightmare." Of course, that line is in a poem, "Climbing Everest," about his own mortality, his own nakedness (a "train wreck"), and the coldness of those words allows the rest to work on us. And I suppose one must have a mind of winter, and been cold a long time, to write a poem about a dying dog: "Spin."
Which is the poem stuck in my head.
A dog named Spinach died today.
In her arms he died away.
Injected with what killed him.
Love is a cup that spilled him.
Spilled all the Spin that filled him.
Sunlight sealed and sent.
Received and spent.
Smiled and went.
I make my creative-writing students memorize and recite poetry; I want to embed a few lines of precise language and meter in their brains, like a sleeper cell, to be activated when they are at a loss for imagery or words. To prove it can be done, I memorize a new poem every week. So you would think I'd have a multitude swimming around up there. But the one poem that always snakes its way up—intact—through the debris of memory is also the only poem that, when I recite it before my class, makes them break into tears.

Late and Long-Term Effects of Treatment for Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma in Children
Because of major advances in treatment, most children treated for lymphoma are living into adulthood, so their health as they get older has come more into focus in recent years.
Just as the treatment of childhood lymphoma requires a very specialized approach, so does follow-up and monitoring for late effects of treatment. Careful follow-up after treatment is very important. The earlier problems are recognized, the more likely it is they can be treated effectively.
Childhood lymphoma survivors are at risk, to some degree, for several possible late effects of their cancer treatment. This risk depends on a number of factors, such as the type of lymphoma, the type of treatments they received, dosages of cancer treatment, and age at the time treatment. It's important to discuss what these possible effects might be with your child's medical team so you know what to watch for and report to the doctor.
Late effects of treatment can include:
- Heart or lung problems after getting certain chemotherapy drugs or getting radiation therapy to the chest
- Slowed or decreased growth and development (especially after a stem cell transplant)
- Bone damage or thinning of bones (osteoporosis)
- Changes in sexual development and ability to have children (see below)
- Changes in intellectual function with learning difficulties
- Development of second cancers, such as leukemia, later in life. These are not common, but they can occur.
Cancer treatment might affect sexual development and ability to have children later in life. Talk with your child's cancer care team about the risk of treatment affecting fertility, and ask if there are options for preserving fertility. For more information, see Fertility and Men With Cancer and Fertility and Women With Cancer.
There may be other possible complications from treatment as well. Your child's doctor should carefully review any possible problems with you before your child starts treatment.
Along with physical side effects, survivors of childhood cancer may have emotional or psychological issues. They also may have some problems with normal functioning and school work. These can often be addressed with support and encouragement. Doctors and other members of the health care team can also often recommend special support programs and services to help children after cancer treatment.
Long-term follow-up guidelines
To help increase awareness of late effects and improve follow-up care for childhood cancer survivors throughout their lives, the Children's Oncology Group (COG) has developed long-term follow-up guidelines for survivors of childhood cancers. These guidelines can help you know what to watch for, what types of screening tests should be done, and how late effects may be treated.
It is very important to discuss possible long-term complications with your child's health care team, and to make sure there is a plan in place to watch for these problems and treat them, if needed. To learn more, ask your child's doctors about the COG survivor guidelines. You can also download them for free at the COG website: www.survivorshipguidelines.org. The guidelines are written for health care professionals. Patient versions of some of the guidelines are available (as "Health Links") on the site as well, but we urge you to discuss them with a doctor.
For more about some of the possible long-term effects of treatment, see Children Diagnosed With Cancer: Late Effects of Cancer Treatment.

It's impossible to give an exact amount of syrup to place onto your cakes, as it depends on the type of cake as well as the recipe used. The best advice I can give is to brush, not pour the syrup. This allows you to see how quickly the cake absorbs the liquid. When it doesn't absorb into the surface, it's time to stop!

Sp'd Tingles K-Y Hot Couples:Tom/Gisele vs Leo/Bar
2nd installment in the K-Y Intense hot couple-off. Click here to see the results of the Depps vs the Pitts and submit your vote for this week.
This week – Leo Edition!
They call him a modeliser. Leonardo DiCaprio dates them exclusively. People.com reported that he and Bar Rafaeli had broken up but on the same day that story went online, photographs of the two of them shopping at a bookstore the night before were released to the blogs. These two are always on and off. They break up once a year. And get back together once a year. Let's assume then that they're still together. Because there's no other model hot enough to take her place. Yet.
Before Bar however there was Gisele. Remember Leo and Gisele? Gisele had Leo before the doughy 30s took over his face. And they were on and off too. And then the final off sent her to Tom Brady whom she married and with whom she is now expecting a child.
Tom and Gisele. Perfection. Their child will challenge my celebrity baby theory. Both at the top of their games.
But Bar is younger. And there's the breasts. And that body. The one that's currently gracing the cover of the current Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue, an honour Gisele herself has never held. Of course it's the Leo factor. Tom Brady is QB1. With 3 Superbowl rings. But beyond North America, no one cares. Leonardo DiCaprio is a universal superstar…
He's dated both. But couple for couple, manmeat for manmeat, supermodel vs supermodel, which two would you, um, rather observe as a fly on the wall?
It wouldn't be a couple hot-off if it wasn't hard, no pun intended. On the one hand, who wouldn't want to witness Tom & Gisele and their gorgessity explosion? On the other hand…Leo is a freak. I've no doubt, when he's able to function, and not impaired by alcohol, that he likes to get his freak on. That might be more visually stimulating. Like popcorn worthy. More than Brady/Bundchen?
You vote.

By Norman Winter McClatchy-Tribune News Service
Mixed floral hanging containers have become the rage across the country, and thanks to the coconut liner it is easy to jump on the basket bandwagon.
It wasn't long ago that you only saw such beautiful displays when visiting mild-climate tourist areas, and now everyone can either buy them already made or be like Monet, and create a piece of floral art.
From the large box-type store to the progressive independent garden center it seems they have everything you need. One of the reasons it has become so easy to buy ready-made is that flower producers have started selling mixed species liners, or starts if you will, for the grower.
This means they were hand selected for color scheme or compatibility with regard to habit and light requirements.
Those of you who like the creative process, or want combinations that aren't easily found, then the wire basket is the way to begin. This also applies to baskets that have a shape more like a window box and can be used as such. They are also easily attached to the railing of a deck.
The coconut liner holds potting soil and of course it drains with perfection. It is also a lot more durable than you think and easily replaced with another liner when it finally wears out.
I like to use really good potting soil that is lightweight and contains slow release fertilizer to give the plants a quick jump on growing. At the Columbus Botanical Garden we have had wonderful baskets with geraniums, Swedish ivy and different colors of bacopa for about six weeks.
This is a great way to grow geraniums but, surprisingly, the small-flowered bacopas have really stolen the show. The combination of pink ones with some lavender blue has really been eye-catching and inspiring visitors.
Planting level should be about three-fourths of an inch below the top of the moss. By all means, place a plant in the center of the basket. You may wish to select one that will climb a hanging chain.
At home, I use baskets that are more like window boxes and attach to a deck railing. I used the same type soil but this time was even more aggressive in my plant combinations.
I started in the center and worked my way outward each direction with the design. I planted a scarlet milkweed as the center plant. It is flanked by large orange African marigolds blue Wave petunias and creeping Jenny that will eventually tumble over the edge, providing a nice vertical element.

the problem with Acer Aspire 5553G keyboard and touchpad in Linux is not new. Try to google for "Ubuntu linux on Acer Aspire 5553G keyboard not working" (remove the quotes when googling). It's good to search Ubuntu forums too (after all, BT5 is based on Ubuntu 10.04).
Here's what I found after quick googling:
This link leads me to this solution on ubuntuforums.
On short, it seems a BIOS update could solve your keyboard/touchpad issue.
I recommend you to google more on this issue and, if confirmed from multiple sources, try the BIOS update.
Check the links I gave you, there's all the BIOS update information there(link for the BIOS image, required BIOS version, etc) ...
Good luck!

HOUSE OF FAME?: We were driving down Spring Street by Long Beach Airport on Monday, something we've done a few hundred times in our sweet short life, but this time, rather than keeping an eye on traffic and concentrating on all aspects of safe driving, we were all bobble-headed with curiosity, and we saw the house that we figured Charles Lindbergh visited in one dark and stormy night in March 1929.
You can see it, if you're heading eastward, just before you go down into the tunnel under Runway 30/12 - the tunnel in which drivers stopped honking their car horns for some unacceptable reason (we imagine if you're driving westward you see the house after you emerge from the tunnel, but we haven't experimented with this yet).
It's a little pink stucco house with a Spanish tile roof. Looks uninhabited now, but if it's the place we're thinking it is - and you can bet we're plenty excited at this point - it was, in 1929, the home of the airport's first manager, William J. Putnam, and his wife (whose name is not entered into the record. Newspapers didn't bother naming wives back in those days).
Anyhow, on the dark and stormy night (not so much stormy as foggy) of March 15, 1929, Lindbergh flew into Long Beach from Albuquerque, N.M.. He had meant to fly to Los Angeles, but it was too foggy, so he circled the Long Beach field a couple of times, a signal for Putnam to go out and light up the runway, and Lindbergh landed his Curtiss-Falcon biplane - the plane that replaced Lindy's Spirit of St. Louis as his ride of choice - at 7:30 p.m.
At this point in his career, Lindbergh was a rock star, finding himself mobbed every time he appeared in public. In fact, there was already some buzz around Southern California during the evening, with newsmen running all over town wondering where Lindbergh would touch down.
Lindbergh would sneak over to the Breakers Hotel on Ocean eventually, but before he left, he spent a relaxing 90 minutes or so enjoying the hospitality of the Putnams.
While William went out to help Lindy park the plane next to the house, you can only imagine his poor, unnamed wife's horror at finding maybe the most famous man in America about ready to come into her house, which you just know wasn't in the shape she'd want it to be. Mr. and Mrs. Putnam had already eaten, but the missus set the table and asked Lindbergh to sit down for a bite.
According the the Press-Telegram's report, which we imagine was based on a thorough debriefing with the Putnams (including the fact that William Putnam's wife's name was Mrs. Putnam), Lindbergh "accepted the invitation for dinner and, while eating with his quiet show of relish, he talked pleasantly on the topics of the day. When he had finished, he told his host and hostess he had a lot more fun than if he had gone to a restaurant."
The meal, as you might guess if you've ever spent any time on the airport grounds, was rabbit.
The Putnams loaded Lindy in their car (men in front, Mrs. William J. Putnam in the back) and drove him to the swanky Breakers so the aviator/hero could spend the night in the manner to which he'd grown accustomed.
Anyhow, so where were we? Oh, yes, so we're guessing this house we saw Monday might be the place where Lindbergh ate rabbit once.
We called - and this was a huge mistake - Mario Rodriguez, the airport's director, who can trace his employment lineage back to Putnam, except he doesn't get a free house, to ask if that house is the old Putnam Place.
No, said "Buzzkill" Rodriguez. It's just a little building full of electronics and various gizmos to help planes do whatever it is they do. The Putnam pad, as it turns out, was torn down in the 1960s to make room for airport development.
After the Putnams retired, rather than let the following director have the pad, the house became part of the Army Air Corps. During World War II it housed the Information Office of the Air Command Base.
But it wasn't the place we saw when we drove into the tunnel, so maybe we shouldn't have even brought it up. Carry on.

New Trailer For The Conjuring Creeps In
'There's something horrible in my house'
The trailers for Insidious director James Wan's new horror pic The Conjuring are flying at us thick and fast like howling malicious spirits now. This latest footage focuses on real-life psychic investigators Ed and Lorraine Warren, played in the film by Patrick Wilson and Vera Farmiga. Take a gander below if you're feeling brave.
Wan's latest is ripped from the files of the Warrens, a real-life husband and wife spook hunting team who are called into to try to help the Perron family.
Roger (Ron Livingston) and Carolyn (Lili Taylor) Perron buy the farmhouse to share with their daughters. At first it just seems like your ordinary fixer-upper that could use some TLC from willing owners. But then the strange noises and inexplicable disturbances start. Soon the Perrons realise that the place is crammed with spirits, with the worst of the lot being Bathsheba Sherman, the "godforsaken soul" of a witch hanged on the property.
Even Lorraine's psychic abilities are affected by this evil menace, and the case takes its toll on both the family and the pair trying to help them. We're also treated to the second – after this week's D**ark Skies** – scene where birds suicidally plunge towards a structure.
At this past weekend's WonderCon, Wan talked up the movie, explaining that the US ratings board has handed the film an R instead of a PG-13, simply because it was "too scary". We'll be the judge of that! And so can you when The Conjuring opens on July 19. Check out another trailer below.

Carly Rae Jepsen to record song for 'Little Mermaid' re-release
Listen to Carly Rae Jepsen on iHeartRadio
Carly Rae Jepsen is going "under the sea" for her next project. According to the "Huffington Post," the singer will record a new version of "Part Of Your World" for the upcoming "Diamond Edition" release of Disney's "The Little Mermaid."
A music video of Jepsen's performance of the classic tune will be included in the DVD re-release of the Oscar-winning 1989 animated film.
The original "Part Of Your World" was sung by voice-actress Jodi Benson, who played Ariel. Jepsen had been dropping hints about her involvement in the project on Instagram last week, posting a photo reading "Don't Be Such A Mermaid."

2001 Audi TT Quattro Problems
RepairPal has identified the most common problems with the 2001 Audi TT Quattro based on complaints from actual vehicle owners. We'll tell you what the problem is and what it'll take to fix it.
Vacuum leaks, oxygen sensor failure, and catalytic converter efficiency faults can cause the Check Engine Light to illuminate.
Erratic turn signal operation can be a result of a failing turn signal flasher relay which will require replacement.
The water pump may fail resulting in engine overheating and possible timing belt damage. Overheating and/or timing belt failure can result in very expensive engine repairs. As a precaution, it is recommended to inspect the timing belt and water pump at regular intervals.
Popping sounds from the rear of the vehicle may be heard moments after starting the engine, or when slowing to a stop. This noise is from the leak detection pump filling the fuel tank with air, and releasing to retest the system when it finds a fault. The sequence of faults identifying this issue are as follows:
- Succession of loud pops from rear of vehicle
- Pops go away, and fuel economy decreases
- Check engine light illuminates
- OBD trouble code P2404 and/or P0441 is stored
- Engine will not start after refueling (must crank for over 30 seconds)
- Vibration when slowing to a stop
The cause is a valve which is mounted on the front of the intake manifold, commonly called the N80 valve, or EVAP system purge valve. The valve is designed to open under specific circumstances, but a worn valve will remain open at all times, preventing the pressurization of the fuel tank.
Correction of the issue is to replace the N80 valve with the latest revision.
Engine oil leaks are common from the valve cover gaskets and camshaft chain tensioner gasket.
An ignition coil or spark plug may fail unexpectedly resulting in an engine misfire and possible illumination of the Check Engine Light.
A creaking type noise may be noted from the front suspension. Replacement of the front sway bar may be required to correct this issue.

Hundreds shield bombing funeral from Westboro protest
(NEWSER) – As hundreds of mourners arrived at a church in Medford, Massachusetts, to pay their respects to 29-year-old Boston Marathon bombing victim Krystle Campbell, hundreds more gathered across the street to protect the funeral from a protest threatened by the Westboro Baptist Church. Teamsters Local 25 brought over 200 union members to act as a human shield, while other unaffiliated citizens also came to lend a hand after news of the potential protest spread online, reports the Boston Globe.

Les Tuniques Bleues - Un chariot dans l'Ouest
Louis Salvérius, who mostly signed his work Salvé, is known as the initial artist of the successful series 'Les Tuniques Bleues' in Spirou. He was born in Soignies and after fulfilling his military service, he began working at the art studio of the publishing house Dupuis in 1955, and remained employed there until 1970. His first illustrations were published in Risque-Tout, and since then, he provided countless realistic and humorous drawings for Spirou.
He did the lay-outs for the pocket book collections 'Les Merveilles de la Vie' and 'Gags de Poche', and also worked as a cameraman at the animation department TVA Dupuis for a while. By 1959, Salvé also turned to comics, starting with a Cécémel advertising comic and a couple of center-folded mini-books scripted by Yvan Delporte, Maurice Rosy, Serge Gennaux and Bob de Groot.
He specialized in comical western series, initially for the mini-books section. Throughout the 1960s, Salvé made various mini-books with characters like 'Tim et Tom' with Jacques Devos and 'Petit Cactus' with Deliège. For Spirou's normal pages, he made the Indian gag series 'Whamoka et Whikilowat' with Devos (1963-67), and later on, three short stories starring 'Ginarino le Sicilien' with Gavazzi (1967-68). In addition, he cooperated with Jamic on the illustrations for western books in the Carrousel collection.
In 1968, Salvérius began his collaboration with scriptwriter Raoul Cauvin. Together they created the popular series 'Les Tuniques Bleues', a comical series about the American cavalry during the American Civil War, that could fill the gap after Morris departed with his 'Lucky Luke' comic. Initially creating a series of short stories and gags, Salvé assumed a semi-realistic style for longer continuing stories, that were also published in book format by Dupuis from 1970.
Unfortunately, Salvérius died while working on the fourth long story, and never experienced the present-day success of the series. The artwork of 'Les Tuniques Bleues' was taken over by Willy Lambil. The original short stories and gags by Salvérius and Cauvin from the late 1960s were collected in two books by Dupuis in 1984.

Zenainder, or "Zen", here and it is a pleasure to have stumbled upon this beacon of community and dhamma light. I wrote a short profile for everyone. You will be seeing more of me as time goes on.
Name: Scott or "Zen"
Age: 25
Sex: Male
Past: In brief, I was raised into Christianity. Within the last couple of years my path evolved, as my tendancy of free thought resulted in, I realized that the "heretical" beliefs I held were similar to that of the dhamma. It was a quote from the Buddha that inspired a study into Buddhism (something I never completed until then), which further confirmed that I was unknowingly teaching and living the dhamma. Obviously, what I lived and taught then were rudimentary in comparison, but they nonetheless had the same meaning. Ironically, a spiritual name I chose in Christianity "Zenaide", in which "Zenainder" is my own rendition of it; I was often referred to as "Zen" for short. Both for its original meaing of "of God" and I have been told the atmosphere I supposedly create for others is peaceful. I find it ironically fitting still as I've waundered into Buddhism more formally.
Current:I do not prescribe to a particular school of Buddhism, although I am studying Theravada closely due to its heritage and "orthodoxy", if you will. I do not practice under a teacher or at a temple, as empiricism has not allowed me to fully assimilate under any organized religion as of right now; not that I am criticizing it either. There is a Theravada nearby that I hope to find myself involved in. I have had unfavorable experiences with Christianity and will ease myself into an organized sect of Buddhism as I do recognize the skillfullness of learning under a teacher. You will see questions related to the necessities of chants, among other traditions in the practice I seek to understand in other parts of the forum.
I have a love for learning doctrine and used to be quite the symbol in my Christian life, I still have friends that refer to me regarding its doctrines. I also used to engage excessively in online debates. Although I do not mind healthy conversationsof two different ideas, I find it meaningless to debate rather the wind is moving or if the the flag is moving (if you catch my reference). In the end, I realized I will not conquer someone else's mind and I am fine with that.
Other: I am an engineer and absolutely love solving problems. Happily married and am approaching our one year in July, my wife lovingly supports and participates in the practice. I tend to be a bit of a nerd as I do enjoy the technical and video games Otherwise, I am mechanical and it isn't rare to find me with something strategically disassembled seeking to understand how it works beyond what the books tells me. I will likely find myself later in this life as a entrepeneur.
That is about it for now. Eager to engage with you all!

19 Of The Weirdest Urinals You Can Pee In
I love when technology is put to really good use. In Brazil, it is now possible for men to piss in a musical toilet. The Guitar Pee uses special electronic tabs to release chords when splashed with urine. It even records the piss music and makes it into an MPee3 that you can listen to. And there you have it — inventing at its best. My only question: Will they an equivalent for women? I'm sure we'd all appreciate our own opportunity to make beautiful music with our urine. Until then, I'm investing in pee cones. Click though to see more of the world's weirdest urinals. [TheFW]

You know how we catch up with some of our friends once a year via holiday cards? Well, some of us in the tax business have friends we hear from once a year, too – around tax time. Questions run the gamut from "Can I claim depreciation on my dog?" to "When do I have to file?" to "Arghhh! Where can I get help?"
If you are feeling a little adventurous, you might try Indiana's free online filing program. Indiana has joined the Freefile Alliance, which allows qualified individuals to complete and electronically file both their federal and state taxes for free. Check it out to see if this option is for you.
But, you may be more comfortable having a professional tax preparer figure and file your taxes. If so, here are some things to look for when making your decision:
Deciding how to get your taxes prepared and filed is more than half the battle. And, you've got until April 15 to get it done. Just don't put off filing too long. Computers are awfully busy the last week of tax filing, and lines get longer that time of year, too.

Woman sent to jail for not returning movie rental
(NEWSER) – The weird part of this story is that a woman had to spend the night in jail because she failed to return a movie rental from 2005 to a business that no longer exists, reports WYFF-TV. The sad part is that she went to jail not for Capote, or Brokeback Mountain, or Good Night, and Good Luck, or really any other movie from 2005 besides the one she actually rented: Monster-in-Law, with J-Lo and Jane Fonda. Kayla Michelle Finley, 27, was at the Pickens County Sheriff's Office in South Carolina on a different matter when the old arrest warrant surfaced and deputies took her into custody.

Wilson High School, Class of 2003 Ten Year Reunion
10th Reunion Planning Committee
Friday, September 13, 2013 at 8:00 PM (PDT)
It's hard to believe, but ten years have passed since we graduated from Woodrow Wilson Classical High School. Ten years since you heard Ms. Broadway tell you to "tuck in your shirt". Ten years since the drum corps came marching through the quad. Ten years since we last sat together on our football field in our graduation gowns eagerly awaiting the adventure of adulthood.

This Mayan inspired, waterfront resort is an exotic paradise situated across the harbor from Downtown Long Beach.

I can't believe someone actually tried this. For one the title!!! Deathray should call himself Deathwish hahaha
What a funny post and Deathray tops it off a good'n

What?the script doesn't work
A third party security audit is the IT equivalent of a colonoscopy. It's long, intrusive, very uncomfortable, and when it's done, you'll have seen things you really didn't want to see, and you'll never forget that you've had one.
I was just trying to be festive. I'll change it to my real crack head self.
I liked the jack-o-lantern
I'm a compulsive post editor, you might wanna wait until my post has been online for 5-10 mins before quoting it as it will likely change.
I know I seem harsh in some of my replies. SORRY! But if you're doing something illegal or posting something that seems to be obvious BS I'm going to call you on it.

Remeandering of a small channelized stream
As the camera pulls back in the beginning of this clip we see a small, meandering channel. As the graphics soon reveal, this channel was excavated as a wide, straight trapezoid about 10 years before this video was shot. The graphics show the remeandering process and also how the cross section has changed as terraces and point bars formed during the remeandering.
This channel is an unnamed tributary to Little Crab Orchard Creek near Parrish Elementary School in Carbondale, Illinois.

About the 1896 Applications for Enrollment
For years the 1896 enrollment among the members of the Five Civilized Tribes has created issues for genealogists. The enrollment was dones at the insistence of the Dawes Commission in its effort to determine citizenship within each tribe. The series of problems with this group of records stems from certain individuals or families being enrolled by the federal courts which did not have the jurisdiction to determine who was a citizen and who was not. Moreover, many non-citizens were enumerated who were in fact intruders residing with a particular tribe. The tribal officials fought the enrollment and enumeration and contested the right of the federal courts in Indian Territory conferring tribal citizenship. After much debate, the Secretary of the Interior wisely sided with the tribes, thus the census and enrollment of 1896 was disregarded and would not be used as a basis for enrollment within the tribes. With this latest defensive move by the tribes, the commissioners representing the Dawes Commission sought congressional assistance to force the Five Civilized Tribes to negotiate agreements to prepare a final roll and eventual allotment of lands.
In June 1898, the Curtis Act was passed by Congress which forced the tribes to treat with the Dawes Commission. The 1896 enrollments were scrapped due to inaccurate data. Unfortunately, those individuals who had citizenship conferred by the federal courts were in most cases not notified that their citizenship had been overturned. This led to a variety of legal issues that ultimately prevented large segments of non-citizens from being enrolled by the commission as only the tribes had the authority to determine who was a citizen.

Chris Cornell
brings 'Songbook' tour to Europe
"Sometimes you don't recognize the full power of a voice until you strip everything away from it. Such was the case with Chris Cornell's drop dead great show at Town Hall last night....the approach served to reveal both the full force, and the utter control, of his singing… as well as how rare his timbre remains"
- New York Daily News
"Cornell...carried the entire show with ease, demonstrating just how capable he is of commanding a stage all by himself. He was an absolute powerhouse, belting out songs with a voice that rocked the rafters" - Seattle Post-Intelligencer
"The two-hour, nearly two-dozen-song performance was a master class in the fine art of solo performance…he wove tender folk-tinged ballads, hard-rock torch songs, and soaring anthems into a cohesive whole, telling a few tales in between, 'Storytellers'-style" - Boston Globe
"It was a powerful concert, gathering momentum and evoking more emotion as it progressed" - Boston Herald
Grunge icon Chris Cornell is excited to announce a set of European 'Songbook' dates this Summer. Fans in the UK and across Europe will get the chance to see Chris perform unplugged, up close and personal.
The much-anticipated acoustic 'Songbook' tour provides fans with an intimate "Storytellers" like setting where Cornell easily interacts with his audience and shares insights about his music. Cornell states, "Songbook was created for my fans".
The tour will kick off in Dublin on June 13th after Soundgarden's second to headline slot at Download Festival on Sunday 10th June. The 'Songbook' tour highlights Chris Cornell's entire catalogue, including Soundgarden, Audioslave and Temple of the Dog. Familiar songs emerge in a new context that showcases the depth and breadth of Chris Cornell's songwriting talents.
Ranked as "one of the best voices in music history", Cornell has successfully maintained his own unique identity over more than two decades as a multi-Grammy award winning musician, Golden Globe nominee and universally acclaimed singer, songwriter and lyricist.
Chris Cornell released 'Songbook' last year to wide critical acclaim. The album includes the song 'The Keeper' which was nominated for a Golden Globe award in 2012.

Last night after reading the review The Hollywood Reporter published about Lindsay Lohan's Lifetime movie, Liz & Dick, I had to Tweet it. This week is obviously the golden week of reviews when you have Guy Fieri's restaurant review and this gem about Liz & Dick. Some excerpts for you before you read the whole thing here.
It should come as no great surprise that Lifetime's Liz & Dick movie starring Lindsay Lohan is spectacularly bad.
Lohan is woeful as Taylor from start to finish. But, whatever you do, don't miss Liz & Dick. It's an instant classic of unintentional hilarity. Drinking games were made for movies like this. And the best part is that it gets worse as it goes on, so in the right company with the right beverages, Liz & Dick could be unbearably hilarious toward the tail end of the 90-minute running time. By the time Lohan is playing mid-'80s Taylor and it looks like a lost Saturday Night Live skit, your body may be cramped by convulsions.
Anyway, on to the parts of the film where people walk and talk. The talking part doesn't turn out so well for Lohan. There is not one minute in this film where she's believable.
The only downside to the review is he does not really provide any suggestions to what parts repeat in order to make a great drinking game. If you see someone that has a positive review of the movie it probably means that Lindsay owes them money; it is their first day on the job; their cousin is a drug dealer and don't want to lose out on business; or it's Dina pretending to be a reviewer.

Colt McCoy Visits New Orleans to Accept Manning Award
Wednesday, March 3, 2010
2010 Manning Award ceremony PHOTOS
Colt McCoy, the Texas star and the winningest quarterback in NCAA history, was officially presented with the 2010 Manning Award on Wednesday evening at the Louisiana Superdome. The Manning Award, now in its sixth year of recognizing the top collegiate quarterback in the nation, was created by the Allstate Sugar Bowl to honor the college football accomplishments of Archie, Peyton and Eli Manning. It is the only quarterback award that takes into consideration the candidates' bowl performances. The award is voted on by a panel of local and national media, as well as each of the Mannings.
"I'm very honored to be able to win the Manning Award," McCoy said. "I did get to know Archie, Peyton and Eli at the (Manning) camp this summer, and they have helped me a lot this year and through the process of getting started in the NFL. I'm very thankful for their relationship, and to have an award named after them and their family - they're a true football family - is very special to me. You also always have to mention Cooper when you mention the Manning family. This is very special to me and to The University of Texas. I'm very honored and privileged to win the Manning Award."
McCoy led Texas to a perfect 13-0 regular season record and a slot in the BCS National Championship game in Pasadena, Calif. For the season, he completed 70.6 percent of his passes (332-of-470) for 3,521 yards with 27 touchdowns while rushing for another 348 yards with three TDs. A product of Tuscola, Texas, McCoy is the all-time winningest quarterback in NCAA history with a 45-8 career record.
"We have had the privilege to be associated with five outstanding quarterbacks since 2005," Archie Manning said. "And we are thrilled to welcome Colt McCoy to the list of Manning Award winners. I have been a long-time follower of college football and what Colt has accomplished on the field is very difficult to match. He has won so many awards for his accomplishments, but I think the one statistic which says it all is that he won more games than any other quarterback in the history of college football."
The first QB in major college football history to lead a team to four 10-win seasons, McCoy is also is the first QB in Texas history to lead his team to consecutive 12-win seasons and just the second Longhorn, joining 2006 Manning Award winner Vince Young, to lead his team to consecutive 11-win seasons.
"Colt McCoy has proven over the last few years that he is one of the top college football players of all-time," said Sugar Bowl President David Melius. "His accomplishments on the field have been extraordinary, but in addition to his greatness on the field, Colt has been a tremendous citizen and teammate."
The senior threw just two passes, completing both, in the BCS Championship Game, before suffering a shoulder injury on the fifth play which forced him to sit out the remainder of the game, a 37-21 loss to Alabama.
In addition to the Manning Award this season, McCoy has won the Walter Camp Football Foundation National Player of the Year Award, Maxwell Award (nation's top player), Davey O'Brien Award (nation's top QB) and Unitas Golden Arm Award (nation's top senior QB). He was a unanimous All-America selection, as well as being named the Big 12 Offensive Player of the Year by both The Associated Press and league's coaches.
McCoy holds 47 University of Texas records including 16 career, 13 single-season, five single-game, six freshman and seven miscellaneous marks. During his 53-game career, McCoy completed 1,157-of-1,645 passes (70.3%) for 13,253 yards and 112 TDs (45 INTs) for a passer rating of 155.0. His 13,253 yards are sixth on the NCAA all-time list, his 112 TD passes are seventh and his 70.3 career completion percentage is just shy of the NCAA record of 70.4 percent, which is held by Colt Brennan (Hawaii).
In addition, McCoy has rushed for 1,571 yards and 20 TDs on 447 carries (3.5 ypc) and has rushed and passed for a TD in the same game 14 times during his career. In combining his passing (112) and rushing (20) TDs, McCoy ranks sixth on the NCAA list and first on UT's TD responsible for list with 132.
Winner of the 2009 Bobby Bowden Award (Fellowship of Christian Athletes), a National Football Foundation Scholar-Athlete and three-time first-team Academic All-Big 12 selection, McCoy graduated in December with a degree in sports management. He also is one of UT's most active community service participants and has been selected to the Allstate AFCA and Big 12 Good Works teams. McCoy has spent his last two spring breaks traveling to Peru to perform mission work, and he regularly serves as a featured speaker representing the FCA and individually.
McCoy is the sixth winner of the Manning Award, which began following the 2004 regular season. USC's Matt Leinart was the inaugural winner, followed by Texas' Vince Young in 2006. In 2007, LSU's JaMarcus Russell earned the award followed by Boston College's Matt Ryan in 2008 and Tebow last year. Leinart was selected No. 10 in the 2006 NFL Draft by the Arizona Cardinals; the same year that Young went third overall to the Tennessee Titans. In 2007, Russell was the No. 1 overall pick by the Oakland Raiders, while the Atlanta Falcons selected Ryan No. 3 overall in 2008.
McCoy edged 2009 winner Tim Tebow in this year's voting after finishing second in balloting last season. The eight other finalists for this year's award were Jimmy Clausen (Notre Dame), Andy Dalton (TCU), Max Hall (BYU), Case Keenum (Houston), Dan LeFevour (Central Michigan), Ryan Mallett (Arkansas), Kellen Moore (Boise State) and Tony Pike (Cincinnati).

Pentagon Opens the Door to Ditching Blackberries for iPhones, Androids
Jason Mick
November 1, 2012 3:53 PM
Recipient E-mail
Sender E-mail
DOD insists that it still supports RIM as a platform, just is being more flexible
As embattled Canadian phonemaker Research in Motion, Ltd.'s (
) image in the consumer market has
gone down in flames
, RIM has seen its long loyal legion of
business and government users
begin to abandon it for rival's managed alternatives.
Amidst the
expected delay
of the next generation BlackBerry 10 (BB10) platform to March 2013 and high fees, the
National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration
(NOAA), the
Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives
(ATF), and the
U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement Agency
dropped the platform
Despite a promise from RIM to cut fees, the latest casualty appears to be the
U.S. Department of Defense
, although RIM will likely suffer a slow death at the agency, unlike the previous speedy exits. While the Pentagon emphasizes that it is still supporting BlackBerry Enterprise Server (BES) for secured employee smartphones -- for now -- it is now preparing what many view as an exit strategy from RIM's services.
Under the plan, third-party contractors will compete to offer secured platforms built on Google Inc.'s (
) Android and Apple, Inc.'s (
) iOS.
The Defense Information Systems Agency
called for an initial user base of 162,500 smartphones for a 1-year contract for device management software and support. That number could grow to 262,500 with 6-month contract extensions, if the smaller trial goes well. Eventually the deployment could swell to the 8 million devices deployed by the DoD and its partners.
But a DoD spokesperson
insisted to
that it isn't abandoning RIM, for now. They commented, "DISA is managing an enterprise email capability that continues to support large numbers of RIM devices while moving forward with the department's planned mobile management capability that will support a variety of mobility devices."
RIM tried to offer a cheerful spin on the news, arguing that if its handsets are abandoned, it will at least get a chance to compete for managing Android and iOS smarpthones. RIM offers a product called
BlackBerry Mobile Fusion
, which allows traditional BlackBerry Enterprise Servers (BES) to manage its rival's handsets.
But given RIM's still relatively high fees and the IT community's long-standing dislike for BES products, it may be wishful thinking for RIM to assume it can win the contract to manage its competitors' products.
To its credit, RIM is realistic in
aiming pretty low
-- it's at most hoping to establish itself as the third place phonemaker. But amid a
resurgent Microsoft
Corp. (
) RIM will be lucky if it doesn't find itself on the bottom of the pile, particularly as both the consumer and enterprise markets turn their back on its increasingly dated devices.
RIM's financial advisors have reportedly
suggested selling its handset business
now, while it retains a modicum of value, but its
executive management
appear to be opting to
ignore that expert advice
in hopes of a surprise turnaround.
"If you can find a PS3 anywhere in North America that's been on shelves for more than five minutes, I'll give you 1,200 bucks for it." -- SCEA President Jack Tretton

What's one of the best ways to make improvements in every aspect of life? Recognize mistakes and learn from them. The same strategy applies to providing the best patient care possible.
"BWH is a national leader in quality and patient safety, but we know that preventable harm still occurs in hospitals, so we must be open when mistakes happen to ensure that we learn from them," said Michael Gustafson, MD, MBA, senior vice president for Clinical Excellence.
On Jan. 19, BWH will launch Safety Matters, an initiative that will enhance the way the hospital communicates about patient safety. Safety Matters will include a new section on www.BWHPikeNotes.org, the BWH intranet, where materials will be available to the entire hospital community with the goal of increasing awareness of errors, patient harm and resulting process improvements. Safety Matters will feature new articles every month about specific errors along with other messages and system improvements intended to prevent future errors from occurring.
As part of Safety Matters, BWH Community Connects, the digital signage system throughout the distributed campus, also will include important patient safety messages.
"Ensuring safety is our unwavering obligation to our patients," said Allen Kachalia, MD, medical director for Quality and Safety. "Telling difficult stories of harm through Safety Matters will help demonstrate our pledge to foster a blame-free culture of transparency and to learn from mistakes."
Currently, the hospital receives more than 8,400 safety reports each year. With the launch of Safety Matters, hospital leaders hope that all caregivers will feel assured that reporting errors and safety concerns is the right thing to do, and that the number of reports will grow, serving to further enhance the measures BWH takes each day to provide the highest quality care for every patient.
Note: Safety Matters does not replace the current electronic safety reporting system. All BWH staff are encouraged to file confidential safety reports from any PHS workstation under Start > Partners Applications > Safety Reporting BWH

Former Fla. GOP leader faces sentencing
Published: Wednesday, March 27, 2013 at 9:01 a.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, March 27, 2013 at 9:01 a.m.
ORLANDO, Fla. — The former chair of the Republican Party of Florida is facing sentencing, completing the fall of a man who was once one of the most powerful political figures in the state.
Jim Greer could face a prison sentence of 3 1/2 to 35 years when he goes before a judge Wednesday in Orlando.
He pleaded guilty to four counts of theft and a single count of money laundering last month, right before his trial was scheduled to start.
The trial had threatened to expose the underbelly of Florida's dominant political party and its formerly high-spending ways.
Topics covered in pretrial depositions included allegations of prostitutes at a state GOP fundraiser in the Bahamas, the drinking habits of former Gov. Charlie Crist and intraparty strife.

AC's Internet Gambling Has Uncertain Outcome [AUDIO]
The startup of internet gambling from Atlantic City Casinos is just a few months away, but the big question is whether the new option will impact sagging revenues, slipping now for seven years.
Roger Gros, of Global Gaming Business Magazine, says nine casinos have contracted with companies who will run their gambling websites. He says the contracted companies will get most of the revenue from the online action, so the casinos will use the gambling sites for promotion and marketing.
"What is questionable is how you are going to draw people to Atlantic City using online gaming," Gros questioned. "Frankly, the casinos really don't have an idea about how that's going to happen yet."
The Tropicana is the latest Atlantic City casino to line up an online partner.
A spokeswoman for the State Division of Gaming Enforcement, said all 12 Casinos "have identified an internet gaming partner and either have entered into a contractual agreement with the partner or remain in negotiations."
At least three casinos will kick off internet gambling on the official start date, November 26th.

I am a theist and an evolutionist, to be sure, but the combined term makes no sense to me.
The rector has come out, in a quiet way, as an evolutionist.
Thus, to Spencer, the evolutionist theory contains no immorality.
Darwin himself felt a great difference in looking at variation as an evolutionist and as a systematist.
But if we grant this second demand, the evolutionist has a third in store for us.
I think one can, and so evidently does the evolutionist, or he would not talk about evolution.
Will the evolutionist be satisfied with this explanation, or will he suggest some other?
These two views are conveniently described as revolutionist and evolutionist.
The evolutionist not only uses his imagination but claims the right to do so.
Is it less foolish for an evolutionist to isolate man's emotions, feelings, and thoughts?

According to FOS11 Board member Don Goodrich, who collaborated with Dr. Yuval Neria, although the survey might bring up uncomfortable feelings, "we owe it to those who may come after us into this difficult place to participate in this study." It is expected that the findings generated by this survey will promote a better understanding of the relationships between trauma and grief.Your feedback and suggestions regarding the survey are welcome and important to the study. If you have questions about the study or the survey, please contact Dr. Yuval Neria at the New York State Psychiatric Institute at 212-543-5367 or by email at firstname.lastname@example.com.
