Haslam restraining order denied
(Knoxville, TN) – A Knox County, Tennessee, judge has denied a motion to bar Pilot Flying J CEO Jimmy Haslam and the company from contacting fuel customers.
The temporary restraining order was requested by a Georgia trucking company that claims Haslam's contact with and paying off customers could be obstruction of justice.
Circuit Court Judge Harold Wimberly ruled against the request after hearing from attorneys on both sides.
Lawyers for Atlantic Coast Carriers of Hazlehurst, Ga., were asking for a restraining order that would have barred Haslam and Pilot executives from contacting any more fuel customers.
Pilot attorney Aubrey Harwell Jr., called the claims "outrageous" and unfounded, and said a temporary restraining order would be a violation of free speech.
The Knoxville Sentinel reports:
Atlantic Coast Carriers filed a lawsuit April 20 in Circuit Court accusing Pilot of racketeering violations and seeking class-action status for Pilot's trucking customers. The lawsuit came five days after FBI and Internal Revenue Service agents raided Pilot's corporate headquarters in West Knoxville on April 15 as part of an investigation into claims of rebate fraud.
Atlantic Coast's lawyers, Drew McElroy and Mark Tate, claim that Pilot's good-will efforts and apologies have included pressuring customers to sign releases giving up their rights to sue.
Pilot's lawyers say the company's done nothing but the right thing.
(Harwell) said no one from Pilot has asked any customer to sign a release.

How Hollywood Ruined Valentine's Day
I don't want to sound sexist, but let's face the simple fact that women are generally more romantic than men. Okay, maybe that's inaccurate. Maybe we're just more sentimental about romance. We remember first dates, first kisses, first texts and even first fights. We remember anniversaries, birthdays and holidays. What we can't seem to forget and wish we could are the countless birthdays, New Year's Eve's and Valentine's Days we have spent alone devouring a carton of Ben & Jerry's Chunky Monkey (which is exactly what we'll feel like after we devour it) and crying into our pillow.
In February 2010, Warner Brothers and Garry Marshall released a sappy movie about Valentine's Day, unimaginatively entitled Valentine's Day with a star-studded cast of heart throb men like Bradley Cooper (yum), Aston Kutcher (double yum), and Grey's Anatomy's McDreamy Patrick Dempsey to pull on the heartstrings of every single and unhappily married woman in America. Unfortunately, there seems to be money in making women miserable, so Garry Marshall reinvented the not so exciting wheel, employing some of the same ensemble cast, this past December with a movie about New Year's Eve, aptly called New Year's Eve. Genius! Who does give him the inspiration for his titles?

Rihanna and Chris Brown Split: Second Time's The Charm?
Did a second dose of reality remind Rihanna why Chris Brown's not for her?
-April Daniels Hussar
The biggest celeb romance story buzzing today is the news that Rihanna and Chris Brown have broken up. Again. And to that I say, sometime the second time's the charm, right Rihanna?
Sometimes it takes Round Two to realize that you were smart to end Round One in the first place. Sometimes the distance created by an initial breakup results in an unreal picture of your ex forming in your head and — most dangerous of all — your heart. The reasons you broke up fade into the background, and an idealized version of the person you first fell in love with starts to take center stage. You remember his charm, the way he looks at you that makes your knees weak, the time he surprised you with breakfast in bed, all the plans you day-dreamed about together. And you conveniently forget about his mood swings, or the times he let you down, or what crap you felt like with him.
It takes a second dose of reality to make you understand: this is NOT the guy for you. Period.
Who knows if any of this is true for Rihanna; as a gossip-mongering speculator from the sidelines, I'd say it's pretty likely. Combine this phenomenon with Rihanna's tendency to want to break with conformity at all costs, plus the insanity of what it must be like to see your ex's photo all over the freakin' place courtesy of modern media, and what you have is a recipe for a reunion.
Also speaking as a gossip-mongering speculator from the sidelines, I sure hope this time the break-up sticks!

On Twitter: Reporter Lori Fowler tweeted live @IECourtsNow
SAN BERNARDINO - Convicted Old Fire arsonist Rickie Lee Fowler was sentenced to death Monday, bringing an end to a high profile case that spanned nearly a decade.
San Bernardino Superior Court Judge Michael A. Smith upheld the earlier recommendation that Fowler receive the death penalty for his role in the 2003 blaze that caused the death of five people.
In September, a jury panel recommended that Fowler, 31, of San Bernardino should die by lethal injection.
"The weight of evidence does support the jury's verdict," Smith said. "Death is the appropriate verdict."
The same jury convicted him of five counts of first-degree murder and two counts of arson in connection with igniting the wildfire.
The blaze, which started on Oct. 25, 2003, near Waterman Canyon, burned more than 90,000 acres in the San Bernardino Mountains, destroyed more than 1,000 structures and cost nearly $38 million.
Five residents in burn areas died from heart attacks caused by the stress of evacuation and threats to homes and belongings, officials said. The five men were: Charles Cunningham, James McDermith, Chad Williams, Robert Taylor and Ralph McWilliams.
Before his client was sentenced Monday, defense attorney Don Jordan pleaded with the judge to modify the jury's verdict and instead sentence Fowler to life without the possibility of parole.
Jordan argued - for the last time - that there was lingering doubt in the case and that Fowler did not know when or where the blaze erupted.
He pointed out that the five victims died from heart attacks and complained about how the prosecution handled the case.
"For all these reasons, please don't impose the death penalty on this poor creature before you," Jordan said.
The veteran lawyer said the loss was the biggest failure of his 50-year law career.
After the hearing, Jordan called Smith's ruling "predictable."
Rickie Lee Fowler is an "innocent man that will die for a crime he didn't do so a community can feel better about it," Jordan said.
San Bernardino County Deputy District Attorney Robert Bulloch spent only a few minutes arguing his side of the case to the judge.
He said the evidence in the case was straightforward and that Fowler knew what kind of destruction would come from starting a fire in the area.
"The behavior of this particular defendant screams out death penalty," he said.
Outside the courtroom, Bulloch talked about closure.
"I'm glad that the families and the community can finally get some sense of justice out of this," he said. "It's a long time coming."

Pembrokeshire lit up with Christmas spirit with many towns turning on their festive lights this weekend.
Hundreds of people gathered in Haverfordwest to see town mayor Cllr Ken Wyburn turn on the Christmas lights, followed by an impressive fire works display.
There was music from Jay James Picton and others on the Radio Pembrokeshire tour as well as puppet shows and children's rides.
There were also crowds in Milford Haven, enjoying a lantern parade before the town's lights were turned on for Christmas.
Narberth's Winter Festival featured floats, walkers and costumes in an illuminated parade as well as lots of fun entertainment for children and families.
A lively procession with fire dancers and discoing Father Christmases made its way through the town, the first in south west Wales to hold a winter carnival.
There was also an abundance of Christmas spirit in Fishguard when the lights were turned on for the festive period.
Switching on the new Christmas lights in Fishguard on Friday night were Shaveen Edirisinghe from Holy Name school and Rachael Morgan of Ysgol Glannau Gwaun.
There was also festive cheer in St Davids, with an early visit from Father Christmas who boosted spirits before the lights were turned on by mayor Cllr John George.
See Wednesday's Western Telegraph for more Christmas lights photos.

Religions make some pretty outrageous claims. Many traditions assert that angels have visited important people here on Earth. Most insist that life after death is real. But one fact about religious claims that's often lost in contemporary debates is that even the wildest religious propositions don't just come from out of the blue. They often arise, as theologian Friedrich Schleiermacher pointed out, from religious experiences. And researchers from Israel and Switzerland think that many of these experiences may be triggered by high-altitude environments on mountainsides.

Automatic Espresso Machines
It used to be that the only way you could enjoy a hearty cup of espresso would be to go to a coffee shop or a fine restaurant. Not long after, home espresso machines were introduced, but they could be difficult to master and troublesome to work. Fortunately, automatic espresso machines made their debut. With the ability to both grind and brew your own espresso with a digital display, your early-morning routine and your after-dinner relaxation just got a lot brighter. Choose from a wealth of different types of espresso machines, some available exclusively from Williams-Sonoma.
Espresso makers have a come a long way since the early days, and now you are even able to have a complete coffee center available right in your own kitchen. This high-tech, large-capacity machine allows you to brew 12 different types of coffee drinks, from espresso to macchiato to cappuccino. With a built-in milk frother and grinder, this machine makes every step of coffee brewing easy, even for those specialty drinks that typically only coffee houses serve. A one-touch function lets you choose up to eight coffee strength levels as well as three temperature levels for the absolute perfect cup of Joe.
If you want to add even a little more convenience to coffee and espresso making, opt for a fully automatic espresso machine that has an easy-to-read digital display, informing you of everything from grind to the final brew. This machine also allows you to brew a myriad of caffeinated drinks, not just espresso. The adjustable coffee dispenser also allows you to use different coffee cup sizes, which is a very handy feature, especially if you're entertaining guests. An included conical burr grinder ensures that beans are ground perfectly every time, keeping the coffee oils intact and providing you with a robust cup of coffee, espresso or any type of coffee drink you desire.
For those who don't require large capacity and a multitude of different features but still want an excellent cup of espresso, opt for a smaller but fully automatic espresso maker by Krups. You are still able to customize coffee temperature and strength, and this machine's stainless-steel burr grinder provides excellent grinding. An automated frothing system within the machine allows you to control the froth, giving you a wonderful cup of espresso every time. As with larger machines, you may also program this machine to make a latte, cappuccino or other caffeinated beverages to get your morning off to a fresh start.

More than 85,000 people have signed a Whitehouse.gov petition asking President Barack Obama to reverse a decision by the Library of Congress making the unlocking of mobile phones illegal under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA).
As of Wednesday morning, the petition, started by phone unlocking entrepreneur Sina Khanifar, still needed nearly 15,000 signatures by Saturday to trigger a response by the Obama administration.

The exemption to DMCA prosecutions for unlocking a mobile phone without the original carrier's permission expired in late January, and many digital rights activists have protested the new rules.
Unlocking a phone is typically used to switch carriers. Jailbreaking a phone for the purposes of adding software unauthorized by the carrier or phone maker remains legal under the DMCA.
It's unlikely mobile carriers will seek prosecution for individual phone users, but operators of businesses that help consumers unlock their phones could face penalties of up to five years in prison and a $500,000 fine under the DMCA.
"Unlocking phones ... is commonly used for those reselling phones, travelling internationally, and changing carriers, but also our service-members deploying abroad," Khanifar, who founded Cell-Unlock.com in 2004, wrote in an email. "This ruling will dry up an entire unlocking software industry, and will create higher barriers to protect particular dominant industries rather than promote more competition."
A spokeswoman for the U.S. Library of Congress, which with the U.S. Copyright Office reviews exemptions under the DMCA, didn't respond to a request for comments on the petition.
Although the nearly month-old petition still lacked the signatures needed for a White House response, Khanifar said this week he's optimistic 100,000 people will sign it by Saturday. The petition has recently won endorsements from Representative Peter DeFazio, an Oregon Democrat, TCP/IP creator Vint Cerf, hacktivist group Anonymous, and others, he noted.
"I think a lot of people aren't aware of the issue, but I think a lot of people, particularly those who like to tinker with their phones, care deeply about the core of the issue: fair use and the ability to change and modify devices you purchase as you wish," he said by email.
Khanifar said he's also considering launching a group to push for DMCA reform.

You may be able to borrow materials from another library branch in your community, state libraries across the country, and even international repositories, as long as they participate in interlibrary loan (some don't, because of lack of staff resources or funding, or because their collections are too rare). Note that the Family History Library (FHL) doesn't participate in interlibrary loan, but you can borrow FHL microform materials through local Family History Centers. The closer to home the lending library, the faster your request will be filled, but you can potentially borrow an item from anywhere in the world.
Depending on availability, you can borrow books, microfilmed records, newspapers, magazine and journal issues or photocopies of single articles, and government documents via interlibrary loan. Some libraries even lend audio and video recordings, maps and sheet music. Institutions will seldom lend original manuscripts, but they may be able to make photocopies for you or e-mail PDF files.

Brevard, N.C. - Due to the recent weather activity, the Brevard College Tornados softball team will not be playing Louisburg College tomorrow afternoon as the teams had to cancel due to scheduling conflicts and having to make up games scheduled earlier in the week.
Instead, Brevard will play host to Belmont Abbey College on the Brevard softball field. First pitch for the doubleheader between the Tornados and the Crusaders is set for 2 p.m.
The Tornados have also added games on Friday, March 6th, as Limestone College comes to Brevard for a doubleheader with the first game set to start at 2:30 p.m.
Brevard will then end their homestand on Saturday, March 7th, as the Tornados host Montreat College for a rematch of the doubleheader that was split on February 21st. The host Cavaliers defeated the Tornados in the first game 3-2 in eight innings, before the Tornados came storming back in the second game, winning 6-1 behind the pitching of Liz Houser and a late bases-clearing double by Jennifer Brown. The two teams will take the field on Saturday at 1 p.m.
Coach Britne' Stubbs team is 6-2 in their first season as full members of NCAA Division II and the South Atlantic Conference.

City Councilman Eric Garcetti and City Controller Wendy Greuel are headed for a runoff battle in May after Tuesday's returns pegged them as the top two finishers in the mayoral primary.
The two were leading a field of eight candidates, but neither appeared to have the necessary threshold to win outright and avoid a runoff.
Garcetti spoke to supporters at a Hollywood nightclub around 11 p.m., and took some swipes at Greuel, while reaching out to the three other leading candidates who didn't advance past the primary.
In an apparent reference to Greuel's role as controller Garcetti said: "This city has a choice to make. It's a choice betwen identifying problems and solving them. It's a choice between rosy promises and proven results."
Then referring to the heavy spending for Greuel from unions, he added: "It's a choice between a mayor's office that's bought and paid for by the powerbrokers at the DWP union or a mayor's office that is by the people, for the people and of the people of Los Angeles."
He also thanked Councilwoman Jan Perry, who finished third in Tuesday's count, saying she "reminded us that government is best when it works within its means" and then thanked candidates Kevin James and Emanuel Pleitez.
Greuel, who held her election night party at the Los Angeles Brewing Co., emerged to "I Love L.A." blaring on the speakers, with her 9-year-old son, Thomas, and husband, Dean Schramm, all waving to the cheering crowd.
"It's early, but it sure looks good," she told supporters.
She asked them to stay vigilant through the runoff campaign.
"We're 11 weeks from making history electing the first woman mayor and, of course, first mom," she said.
Also, on Wednesday the influential Service Employees International Union Local 721, which represents many L.A. city workers is expected to announce its mayoral endorsement. Sources say the group, which did not endorse in the primary, is going to throw its support behind Greuel.
Tuesday's primary capped an increasingly combative race that featured three City Hall insiders and two outsider critics among the front-runners. Negative mailers and accusations dominated in the two weeks before the election. Greuel was frequently targeted by opponents over heavy union spending on her behalf.
No other candidate had Greuel's advantage going into Tuesday's election.
Unions for the Department of Water and Power and police, as well as film executives and other interests spent $2.7 million in an effort to elect her. The funds paid for television and radio ads, mailers, and polling research, according to City Ethics Commission filings.
Nearly $2 million of that money came from Working Californians, a group backed by the Department of Water and Power union.
Despite that backing, as the voting booths opened on Tuesday, the race remained extremely unpredictable. Numerous polls put Greuel, 51, and Garcetti, 42, as frontrunners, but many votes remained up for grabs.
The other frontrunners included Councilman Jan Perry, talk radio host and attorney Kevin James and tech executive Emanuel Pleitez. The lower-profile candidates who failed to qualify for city matching funds were advocate Addie M. Miller, factory production worker Norton Sandler and neighborhood council secretary Yehuda "YJ" Draiman.
None of the five front-runners was able to secure a large voting block before the primary to guarantee victory. That meant campaigns had to fan out across the city and tussle over shared bases.
Mostly, candidates had to just hustle.
In the days before the election, Greuel and Garcetti made it a point to visit North Hollywood, Boyle Heights, and other L.A. neighborhoods where there was no clear favorite candidate. Additionally, throughout his campaign Garcetti targeted first-time voters, while Greuel touted her efforts to become the city's first female mayor.
Overall, Greuel, Garcetti, and Perry started the race with similar strengths. All are City Hall veterans, and have varying degrees of name recognition. Their City Hall connections helped with fundraising. Perry brought in $1.5 million, while Greuel and Garcetti each raised more than $4 million during the race.
The outsider candidates - Pleitez and James - relied on more creative ways to woo voters. Pleitez tried to chip away Latino votes from Garcetti. An East L.A. native, he placed his headquarters in Boyle Heights.
Pleitez also filed ethics complaints against Garcetti during the campaign over two alleged conflict of interest issues involving billboards and an oil lease.
James ran a series of web-only advertisements portraying City Hall as corrupt. Seeking to win Republican voters away from Greuel, James ran on a fiscally conservative platform, promising to rein in city employee salaries and challenge the unions' power. In a snub to Greuel, who used to represent the eastern San Fernando Valley, he referred to himself as "the Valley's candidate."
Perry also turned on Greuel in the weeks before the primary. The councilwoman is well-known in downtown and South L.A. for her fiscally conservative views and development background. But voters are less familiar with her in places like the San Fernando Valley.
In an effort to reach a wide swath of voters, Perry relied heavily on mailers, some of which attacked Greuel. In one, she accused Greuel of selling out voters for her DWP union backing.
But the attacks went both ways. In the campaign's final days, Working Californians spent $400,000 in television ad criticizing Garcetti. The committee also spent more than $170,000 on negative mailers targeting Perry and James. The spending suggested that Working Californians viewed nearly every candidate as a threat to Greuel in terms of votes.
Near the end of the race, the increasingly hostile tenor overshadowed discussion of the major issues facing the city. L.A.'s potholes and crumbling streets were a frequent topic on the campaign trail.

Hi all, I saw a youtube tutorial on how to crack my modem password in order to change some settings (I must be connected to it in order to do this).
I used HydraGTK in order to achieve that but I had a problem, when I pressed start it said that: "Error: File for passwords not found!"
That is not logical because these are the steps I did before pressing "Start":
(First page of HydraGTK(Target))
1: Single target ----> 192.168.1.1
2: Port ----> 80
3: Protocol ----> http-get
4: I've ticked "Be Verbose"
(Second page of HydraGTK(Passwords))
1: Username ----> admin
2: Password List ----> /home/alex/acdc.txt
3: I've also ticked "Try login as password" and "Try empty password"
(Third page of HydraGTK(Tuning))
1: Number of Tasks ----> 36
2: Timeout ----> 30
3: I've ticked "Exit after first found pair" and "No Proxy"
(Fourth page of HydraGTK(Specific))
1: The only thing I've done here is to change the "http / https url" to "/setup.cgi" as the tutorial told me
(Fifth page of HydraGTK(Start))
1: I press "Start" :P
So, if you find any error inform me because I have no idea what is my error. The only additional thing I can tell you is that the wordlist's path (/home/alex/acdc.txt) exists for sure and I've check it several times!!!
Thx in advance and sorry for any errors in my spelling

Espy Looks Forward to New Season and Role02/13/2013 1:16 PM ET
After managing the Tulsa Drillers for the past two years, Duane Espy is looking forward to serving in a new role with the club this season. He will be the Supervisor of Double A Development, a new position created by the Colorado Rockies. Espy talked about his different role and the upcoming season during a recent visit to ONEOK Field.
The supervisor positions have been created by the Rockies at each of their minor league levels to help with player development. In the position, Espy will be with the Drillers throughout the season, attending both home and road games. He will work closely with new manager Kevin Riggs and the rest of the coaching staff.
Espy, who has won 994 regular season games as a minor league manager, admits that not being in the dugout on a daily basis will be a tough adjustment, but it is a challenge that he is looking forward to.
"Being in the dugout is the best part of baseball," he said. "Managing is as close as you can get to being in the middle of things without actually. That is definitely going to be different for me, but the thought that I may be able to affect more people is exciting. I have the chance to have a bigger and more positive impact on more people as we try to prepare players to play at the major league level."
As a supervisor, Espy will be on the field each day for pre-game batting practice. Similar to a scout, he will likely watch most games from the stands.
"In pre-game I will be an extra coach on the field," he said. "But I will also be here to supervise what we are trying to accomplish with the development of each individual player. I will be another set of eyes to evaluate what we are doing so that we can efficiently get things done. That is almost impossible to do while you are trying to manage a game from the dugout."
Espy anticipates his transition will go smoothly because of the Tulsa staff that he will be working alongside. Riggs was Tulsa's hitting coach last year and will be serving as a manager for the first time. Pitching coach Darryl Scott is moving to Tulsa from Single A Modesto, while hitting coach Darin Everson is new to the Rockies organization.
"I worked with Kevin last year, so it is going to be a similar situation for us," Espy said. "He has a great knowledge of the game. He was who I bounced most my ideas off of, so we have that relationship." He chuckled, "The only difference will be that Kevin will now have to figure things out during the game instead of me."
"I have also worked with Darryl Scott in the past and he is a bright pitching coach who will bring a lot of positive energy to our pitching staff. I had the opportunity to meet Darin Everson when he came to Denver to interview with the Rockies. He is a bright guy who has managed and coached at all levels and is very passionate."
Espy thinks the staff makeup will create a good situation for the Drillers. "I really see a staff that will interact with each other and have a lot of fun," he said. "That atmosphere will hopefully translate to the players."
As for the players the staff will be working with at ONEOK Field this season, Espy admitted that it is difficult to speculate on the roster at this point. Most of the positions will not be determined until deep into spring training.
Two players that fans should expect to see in Tulsa during some part of the 2013 season are outfielders Kyle Parker and Rafael Ortega. The pair spent last year with Modesto and both enjoyed successful seasons in the California League.
Parker played in 102 games for the Nuts, hitting .308 with 23 home runs and 73 runs batted in while being named a CAL League All-Star.
Ortega batted .283 and led the team with 36 stolen bases and 8 triples.
"Ortega and Parker both had big seasons in the California League," said Espy. "Ortega even got a few at-bats in the big leagues at the end of the season with the Rockies."
Another player with a chance to make the jump to Double A is shortstop Christian Adames (uh-DAHM-us). At only 21, Adames enjoyed a successful season at Modesto. Like Parker and Ortega, he was recently named on of the Rockies Top 20 Minor League Prospects by MLB.com.
There has also been speculation among media outlets that pitchers Tyler Matzek and Tyler Anderson could see time at ONEOK Field this season. The left-handers were named the Rockies Number 5 and 6 Prospects by MLB.com.
Matzek, a first-round pick (11th overall) of Colorado in 2009, was 6-8 for the Nuts with a 4.62 ERA. He averaged over a strikeout per inning and walked almost seven batters per nine innings.
Anderson was 12-3 with a 2.47 ERA for Low Class A Asheville last year and may start 2013 in Modesto. Baseball America has speculated that he could possibly skip a level and being the season in Tulsa.
Espy and Riggs will oversee Tulsa's spring training workouts that will begin in late February at the Rockies Complex in Arizona.
The Drillers will open the 2013 regular season on April 4 in San Antonio. The two teams will also meet for Tulsa's home opener at ONEOK Field on Thursday, April 11.

title: World's Deadliest: Crocs Kill With Strongest Bite

allowUserEmbed: True

transcript:
The mighty crocodile.
Found lurking in the warm waters of five continents.
It looks like an orthodontist's nightmare.
But these gnarly teeth make it one of nature's sharpest predators.
The Nile croc is Africa's biggest reptile-and the top predator in its rivers.
It grows longer than 18 feet and weighs more than a ton.
Crocs have the world's strongest bite.
More than 5,000 pounds of force per square inch.
They use that grip to kill prey-by holding it underwater to drown it.
They have up to 68 teeth-shed and replaced all their lives to keep them sharp.
But the croc's jaw isn't built for chewing.
Instead, crocs grip the carcass and torque their bodies to twist off flesh.
The urge to migrate drives creatures like antelope to venture into the jaws of death.
But there's no hope against a team of hungry crocs.
By feeding together and gripping in unison, they help dismember the carcass.
Mighty as those jaws are, they have one weakness.
The muscles to open the jaws are so weak, you could hold them shut...if you dared try.

The Library is located on the ground floor of The Cooper Union Foundation Building. The Library's collections include those of the Visual Resources Center and the Cooper Archives as well. By extension it is the goal of the Library to make information literacy and the development of critical evaluative judgment an invaluable part of each student's experience. The librarians teach the students research techniques and information evaluation criteria, so that they may be prepared to select and apply the information necessary to address concerns of architecture throughout their careers.
The Library takes pride in its excellent architecture book collection, which is shaped to serve the School of Architecture's mission, strategic plan and curriculum. The collection covers the history of world architecture, with a special emphasis on 19th to 21st century movements and contains substantial holdings on significant European and American architects such as The Walter Gropius Archive, The Mies van der Rohe Archive, The Architectural Drawings of Alvar Aalto, the Louis I. Kahn Archive, a 12- volume set of Frank Lloyd Wright's work and his Selected Drawings Portfolio.
Architecture from older eras is equally well represented including (for example) a sizeable collection of works on Andrea Palladio and Karl Friedrich Schinkel (notably Collection of Architectural Designs).
For the study of historical Manhattan, The Iconography of Manhattan Island, 1498-1909 by I.N.P. Stokes is an invaluable library resource as is the Sanborn Manhattan Landbook of the City of New York for the contemporary city, with its detailed block-by-block real property maps.
The collection reflects the orientation and emphasis of the architecture curriculum as it has evolved since the early 1970s. Although history of architecture is strongly represented, resources relating to 20th century architecture, theory and criticism are the hallmarks of the collection. Special efforts have been made in recent years to enrich the collection with studies of non-Western architecture. Urban Studies has continued to be emphasized in the selection process and the collection of titles on sustainable and green architecture as well as architecture and technology is growing steadily.
Students and faculty have full access to the collections of the Research Library Association of South Manhattan, commonly called the "Consortium", which include's NYU's Bobst Library. Extensive resources can also be found in the metropolitan area such as the Art and Architecture Research Division of the New York Public Library, the Stephen Chan Library of N.Y.U.'s Institute of Fine Arts, The Avery Architectural and Fine Arts Library of Columbia University, the New-York Historical Society and the museum and municipal libraries, comprehensive collections unmatched practically anywhere else in the world.
Periodical collections are provided in a combination of print and electronic formats either through individual title subscriptions or database packages such as Wilson Select Plus, JSTOR Arts and Sciences III and V as well as Proquest Platinum Periodicals. The following architecture periodical indexes are available in print and/or electronic format: Art Abstracts; Art Index Retrospective; and the Avery Index to Architectural Periodicals. Architectural Publications Index (formerly Architectural Periodicals Index) is available at N.Y.U.'s Bobst Library, one of the Consortium libraries.
Sixty Nine titles indexed in Art Abstracts 69 are available in the Library in print and 131 are available via the full-text Web-format database WilsonSelect Plus (see below). The Library also has 175 titles indexed in the Avery Index, which the library now subscribes to in Web format.
The Library's Visual Resources collection consists (as of June 30, 2009) of 62,232 slides, 6,314 digital images, 219 films, 431 videos (tapes), 43 laser disks, 1144 DVDs, 2640 maps, several thousand pictures and sets of blueprints of campus buildings, including detailed plans by John Hejduk (former Dean of School of Architecture) for the renovation of Cooper's landmark Foundation Building. Architectural images account for 20,336 of the slides, 2,975 of the digital images and more than 40% of the picture collection.

Bengal tiger kills 10th victim, gets away
(NEWSER) – Yet another villager died by tiger-attack in northern India yesterday, and officials are trying to figure out just how many tigers are out there eating people, Fox News reports. The new victim—the 10th in 6 weeks—was a 50-year-old man collecting firewood when the tiger ate parts of his leg and abdomen. Villagers scared it off with metal rods and shovels, but it was too late. "People rushed to his rescue on hearing his screams," park official Samir Sinha told the Times of India. "But he was dead by the time they got there."

Causes / Inheritance
What causes congenital muscular dystrophy (CMD)?
It isn't known why the CMDs cause muscle weakness earlier than other types of muscular dystrophy. One possibility is that the muscle proteins affected in CMD are required early in the development of an infant's muscle, while muscle proteins linked to other muscular dystrophies don't become important until the muscles begin to get a lot of use as a child grows.
It's important to note that just because the muscle weakness in CMD starts earlier, CMD isn't automatically more severe than other forms of muscular dystrophy. The degree and rate of progression of muscle weakness varies with different forms of CMD and from one child to the next.
In the mid-1990s, researchers found that a deficiency of a protein then called merosin and now more often calledlaminin 211 was the underlying cause of at least some cases of CMD. Merosin normally anchors muscle cells to a structure that encases them (like the skin on a hot dog) called the basal lamina.
Doctors began to classify CMD as either "merosin-deficient" or "merosin-positive." The gene for merosin is on chromosome 6.
As the 20th century ended, researchers began to suspect that Ullrich's disease, now known as Ullrich CMD, was caused by a lack of collagen 6, a ropelike protein located in the area where laminin 211 is found.
Collagen 6, which helps support the muscle fiber, probably affects muscle cells via its connection to laminin 211. Laminin 211, in turn, connects to muscle cells via either of two other proteins: integrin or dystroglycan.
Dystroglycan links the outer surface of muscle cells with structures outside them via branches, made of sugar molecules, that protrude from its surface and stick to laminin.
The branch structure helps explain why mutations in so many diverse genes all appear to cause CMD. Each of these proteins contributes in a different way to the process of "sugar-coating" (glycosylating) dystroglycan. Several forms of CMD — such as Fukuyama CMD, Santavuori muscle-eye-brain disease and Walker-Warburg syndrome — arise from defects in these glycosylation proteins.
The illustration below shows the physical relationships among these proteins.
To learn more about the progress that's been made over the years in understanding and classifying the congenital MDs, read Taking Aim at Congenital Muscular Dystrophies: Insights from pediatric neurologist Carsten Bönnemann and Connecting the Dots: Research shows congenital MDs have roots outside cells.
What are the inheritance patterns in CMD?
The CMDs are caused by genetic defects that affect important muscle proteins. Most forms of CMD are inherited in an autosomal recessive pattern.
In brief, if a disease is recessive, two copies of the defective gene (one from each parent) are required to produce the disease. Each parent would be a carrier of the gene flaw but wouldn't usually have the disease.
If a disease is dominant, then only one copy of the genetic defect is needed to cause the disease. Anyone with the gene flaw will have disease symptoms and can pass the disorder to children.
Many times, MD appears to have occurred "out of the blue," but in reality, one or both parents may be carriers, unknowingly harboring the genetic mutation. Many parents have no idea they're carriers of a disease until they have a child who has the disease.
A good way to find out more about these risks is to talk to your MDA clinic physician or ask to see the genetic counselor at the MDA clinic. For more, see Facts About Genetics and Neuromuscular Diseases.

Improving Services for Undocumented Migrants in the EU
This project, co-financed by the European Commission's Programme for Community Action in the field of public health (2003 – 2008), the Commission's DG Sanco and the Barrow Cadbury Trust, aims at improving the level of health protection for the people of Europe by addressing migrants' and immigrants' access, quality and appropriateness of health and social services as important wider determinants for health, focussing on health care services for undocumented migrants as an especially vulnerable group, an increasing public health risk and a group providing difficulties for health care providers and health policy.
The project will be carried out from January 2008 – December 2010 and will improve knowledge regarding service provision for undocumented migrants by collecting existing practice in health policy and health services in the EU. It will identify transferable good practices optimising between criteria of quality of care and stress reduction for providers. Perspectives of policy, providers and clients will be included in assessments of needs, strategies and problems.
Click here read the Press Release.
Click here to access project website.
The aims of the project:
- To improve the level of health protection for people in Europe, the first general objective is to support health services explicitly in their efforts to acknowledge the issue and look for the best available solutions for a systematic integration in organisation and professional routines. This can be achieved by collecting, evaluating and exchanging models of good practice.
- The second general objective of the project is to support health policy decision makers to rationally deal with the contradictions of this situation and balance the need of health care providers for supportive legal and financial frameworks, individual and public health needs on the one hand and the interest of migration control on the other. To achieve this, a European agenda setting and a European collection of available knowledge on problems and solutions on the policy and service level will be provided.
- The third general aim is to make undocumented migrants visible and usable for policy development and quality management of health care at least in exemplary fashion and thus improve health protection. To achieve this, a collection and analysis of needs and experiences amongst advocacy groups and undocumented migrants will be provided.
Undocumented migrants are vulnerable due to problematic health situations in home countries, health risks of clandestine migration, exploitation in receiving countries and difficult access to health care. They often receive health care too late, not appropriately and in low quality. They use services only in emergency situations as administrative procedures threaten clandestine status, continuity of care is difficult due to lack of identity and there are problems with language and culture. This makes services less effective for the individual and more expensive for health care authorities.
The Danube University Krems is coordinating this project.
PICUM is one of six associate partners, including: AUSL di Reggio Emilia, MIM Malmö University, University of Brighton and CIES - ISCTE Portugal.

Rob Zombie complains about noisy skate park
Listen to Rob Zombie on iHeartRadio
Rob Zombie wants to make it clear that he doesn't have anything against skaters or children in general.
The rocker offered the clarifying statement on Facebook in response to stories about the noise complaint he and his wife made about a skate park near their home in Woodbury, Connecticut.
Zombie calls it a "simple matter" that they're trying to solve in a way that will make everybody happy. He adds that it's a "bummer" the whole thing has turned into an "ugly event" thanks to what he calls "really crazy articles."
According to "The Hartford Courant," the Zombies first brought up the noise issue back in June at a budget meeting. The park has since reduced its hours and the town has installed more than $3,000 worth of soundproofing. A Woodbury official says the town is looking into adding more soundproofing, or possibly relocating the park.
Some of the kids who use the skate park and their parents have started a campaign asking Rob Zombie and his fans to donate money to help make the necessary changes.
They've posted a video at WoodburySkatePark.com, where anyone interested can also make a contribution.

BIG GAME LEFTOVERS: The Puppy Bowl
There were other options to Sunday's Big Game. And given the game and its commercials maybe the Puppy Bowl (or even the Fish Bowl) would have been the way to go.
I've been in radio since 1981, starting on Cape Cod, and in Boston, Massachusetts where I grew up. (when The Sox and Patriots both broke everyone's hearts, and the Celtics ruled. Funny how things change.)
After 3 years in Las Vegas in the late 80's, early 90's I was looking for work and luckily found myself here in Cleveland in 1991, through some mutual radio friends. I got to play the hits as Jammin 92's Night guy until 1999, and met Britney Spears back when she wasn't making people gag.
After watching my former company screw up the Jammin' Oldies thing for a couple of years, I came to Majic in 2001, the best decision I ever made!

Federal judge rules Ohio must recognize couple's same-sex marriage
(Cincinnati) - A judge has ruled in favor of two Cincinnati men in a federal lawsuit over same-sex marriage. The couple accuses Ohio of violating the U.S. Constitution by denying legal recognition to same-sex couples married in states where gay marriage is legal.
The lawsuit from James Obergefell and John Arthur was filed Friday against Gov. John Kasich, Attorney General Mike DeWine, and the Cincinnati Department of Health which is responsible for filing death certificates.
The men were married last month in Maryland, but Ohio doesn't recognize the marriage. Arthur, who has ALS, isn't expected to live much longer. The couple wants his death certificate to list Obergefell as his surviving spouse and show his status as married.
U.S. District Court Judge Timothy S. Black granted a motion for a temporary restraining order.
"How then can Ohio, especially given the historical status of Ohio law, single out same sex marriages as ones it will not recognize? The short answer is that Ohio cannot at least under the circumstances here," the ruling states.
Attorney Al Gerhardstein argued that while other marriages, including those of first-cousins and minors, may be illegal in Ohio they are legal in other states. When those couples come to Ohio those marriages are recognized by the state.
"Our marriage matters. It's legal. We want to be recognized," Obergefell said.
The ruling could eventually lead to wider changes, but for now it only applies to Obergefell and Aurthur.
"We believe this is a fair ruling that treats people with decency. We hope that through the love and loss of John, and the struggles this family endures, that Ohio will realize greater acceptance of marriage equality and the worth of all our citizens," said Ian James who heads the effort to put a ballot issue before Ohio voters to overturn a 2004 ban on same-sex marriage.
No word yet on what action the state plans to take on the ruling.

Plus, Mortenson's Pakistani host mansur Khan Mahsud exposes his lies.
mansur appears to have been engaged in continual wars, and to have obtained successes against Pahang, Pase, and Makasar.
Perhaps the life of mansur al-Hallj is even more interesting.
A messenger despatched by mansur under cover of darkness, brought me the sad news of the catastrophe.
mansur could now give his mind to the founding of the new capital.
If mansur had been really astray in error, the two learned men we have just quoted would not have spoken of him in such terms.
But from 758 till 763 mansur was so occupied with his own affairs that he could not think of further raids.
mansur Effendi, being our chief, gave the order to march three hours before sunset.
Mamun was a man of rare qualities, and one of the best rulers of the whole dynasty after mansur.
mansur himself however was of an enthusiastic temperament, and took no pains to guard his language.

Hello, all! My MIL has asked me to make a birthday cake for her friend for Thanksgiving. I'm making a two-tiered classic genoise with peach cloud cream. Any suggestions on tiering with cloud cream? Do I not put any underneath the place where the top cake goes? Will it make the cardboard soggy? Will it look odd when it's cut in that spot?
Also, I have looked in TCB and found some great help on how to mix the batter, but wondering if you all had some advice as well. I'm making a 10 inch and an 8 inch genoise. Will my 5 quart mixer be able to handle doing just a double batch and can I put both cakes in the oven at the same time? I'm one egg over the recommendation in the book, I'm wondering if it's too risky to try…but if I can't, how CAN I do it? The wedding cake math was a bit confusing to me.
Thank you all so much for your assistance!! : )

I (as well as other members of the family) are pretty sure my Grandad has some form of dementia - he has memory problems, easily confused, delusional etc - and it is now at the point where he cannot leave the house alone and if he is left in the house for even a short time he usually has some sort of fall (although this doesn't happen if someone is home). He is very stubborn and doesn't like hospitals etc. He has a number of other illnesses and so visits the GP and nurses regularly but can come across as 'normal' when there. He refuses to accept that he has any problems.
We're not sure what to do to get him diagnosed and some help. He lives with my Granny who is not in the best of health herself and so cannot care for him, especially not if he gets worse. If a family member phones his GP and raises these concerns will they take notice even if the sufferer does not see any problems?

In my recent post for NYT's India Ink, "Let Them Eat Charity," I try to deconstruct the web of lies we tell ourselves when we ignore the neediest amongst us—people like Ujjwal Sharma, a 7-year-old boy with leukemia.
I thought I'd covered all our excuses and rationalizations, but the commenters on my post proved me wrong.
For starters, I missed the there's-always-someone-needier ploy. "Ringollo" writes: "… I have just finished reading a book on Indian slums. My first reaction was, Ujjwal's family has access to a computer and is soliciting donations in California??" I eagerly await Ringollo's second reaction, but meanwhile I have good news for him: at the rate at which Internet access is spreading, soon everyone will be undeserving of charity. Mission accomplished!
Prof. Alfonse Romero, another commenter, was less outraged by our lack of empathy for Ujjwal than by my inexcusable use of first-person plural: "Lots of "we" and "us" in your piece, Mr. Mungee. Are you sure it's not just you?" Yes, Prof. Romero, I'm pretty sure it's not just me, it's most of us—maybe everyone except you? Thank you for your generous donation.
And from the so-bourgeois-I-don't-even-see-it-anymore department, we have "Sandy413," who writes: "I have to work for the first four months in a year just to pay Uncle Sam who then does the charity on my behalf (and I don't object to paying taxes, by the way)." Happy April!
But my favorite comment is from "Jacob," who writes, "The problem for you is that you're worthless at everything besides writing code." Yes, Jacob, it's a terrible problem; I cope somehow.
(Jacob's comment narrowly won over Saurabh's, who feels I've read too much of Ayn Rand.)
On a more serious (and paradoxical) note, as I was writing and researching this piece, I realized that I hate so many things about charity: the selfish motivations behind it, the arbitrariness of outcomes, the inefficiency, our desperate social dependence on it, and the sickly sweet devotional halo that surrounds it.
Betty S. echoes my sentiment in her comment: "… in an age where the greatest virtue is self-fulfillment, charity and 'service' has become therapy as a host of 12 step programs and evangelical churches attest. Bourgeois Americans demand an emotional feel-good pay-off with each discreet act of charity." And, I might add, with each act of non-charity as well—to not help others is an ordinary human flaw, but to be heartless and portray it as an act of morality? That, my fellow passengers of the Titanic, takes a Republican candidate for President.
I couldn't agree more with Joel R's critique of charity, who writes: "Proponents of charity urge to do something now, to not politicize the subject, but just blindly give instead of criticizing the root of the issue, lack of healthcare, lack of general welfare, etc. and the deteriorating condition of global capitalism as a modus operandi." It's all true. All I can offer you, Joel, are the two weasel words we use to preface every ugly software architecture decision: "For now, …"
Many of my Indian (and American) friends suggested that I should have explored whether Indians donate less than Americans. Some said I was too chicken to wade into that controversy. I just think that ethnic comparisons of charity are irrelevant; conscience doesn't have a skin color. Besides, even if some statistic shows incontrovertibly that Indians are stingy donors, it would only provoke ethnic group defenses (rather than individual reflection), e.g. "Yes, maybe Indians donate less, but given our long history of financial insecurity, that is totally understandable," or, much more likely in today's state of the web, "India bashing!" (my suggestion for a new Facebook button.)
But Ramesh Raghuvanshi from Pune articulates what I suspect many of my friends feel: "[Sumedh] must understand charity is western concept. Indians by nature narcissist, they want their own liberation from life and death circle. so in India social consciousness never developed." Don't you just love comments that undermine themselves by their very existence?
It's too early to judge if my post will help Ujjwal, but, sadly, "Let Them Eat Charity" seems far less popular than "Why I Left India (Again)" (#youremember). At least this time I won't become Chetan Bhagat's muse.
We live in incredibly short-sighted, cynical and self-destructive times—in other words, splendidly capitalist times. It feels pointless to try to save any one particular life—I think that's because we're OD'ing on our own lies. And that, with apologies to those who said my piece was pointless, was the point, sort of. Also, Help Ujjwal.

You can't put a limit on anything. The more you dream, the farther you get
Team Colosseum
kick bag, kick pads. i cant feel my shins atall doing either of these.
whatever you do, checking kicks will hurt.

the rolling pin/bottle down the shins is meant for after fights to get rid of all the swelling on your shins not as a conditioning tool on its own.
www.legacyclothingco.com www.tomblackledge.com www.wolfslairmma.co.uk
Id stay away from using rolling pins etc... although everyone seems to be 50-50 on the subject. Personally its not for me
Kicking a heavy bag is the only way to do it

ive been training at master chanas in preston on/off for a couple of years now and i have never once seen or heard any of the pros use a rolling pin, bottle etc.. master chana just says keep kicking pads, heavy bags etc.. trust me some of the boys in that gym can fucking kick!
I believe that it is more efficient to deaden or condition the skin by kicking pads and bags; thus thickening and callousing the skin, rather than damage the vessels under the skin and layering the shin bones, with a roller, which may detriment those susceptable to shin splints. Does that make sense?
"Awww, so you lost darling - but it's the taking part that counts" My Mum... thanks for nothing Mum.
kicking heavy bags, lots of sparring best for me.

Weird Al Says 'Mandatory Fun' Will Be Final Full-Length Album
Listen to Weird Al Yankovic Radio on iHeartRadio
No more Weird Al Yankovic full-length releases? The King of Parodies says that his newly released album Mandatory Fun will be his last full-length release. Weird Al explains that he'll be taking a digital route in the future to make his material as current as possible.
[Buy Mandatory Fun on iTunes]
Al says he plans to hit the road next year with a tour featuring his latest parodies, which include "Tacky," his send-up of Pharrell Williams' hit "Happy," and his take on Robin Thicke's "Blurred Lines," called "Word Crimes."
For Mandatory Fun, Weird Al says he used his usual method of writing original material first before deciding which hits he should cover to make sure the parodies didn't get too outdated.

They are the favored fresh eating varieties in the United states being larger, firmer fleshed, and rounder than European plums. Japanese plum trees have rougher bark, more persistent spurs, and more numerous flowers than European plums. They are also more precocious, disease resistant, and vigorous than European plums.

When Parents Are Wrong
Lately I've been getting into fights with my parents. Well, one main fight. They want me to find a job.
The argument part started when my hair turned out three different colors by mistake this year and I really wanted to dye my hair back to its natural, dark color. They said they will pay to dye my hair, but only dirty blond because I need to have "sex appeal" in order to find a part time job while going to school. Gross.
I want to be all natural and real, not fake like I'm trying to look like workplace Barbie. They told me, "You need to use your femininity to get a job. Half the workers are male workers and you can't …
