The Long Beach State women's golf team is tied for fifth place Monday after two rounds at the Rose City Collegiate at Langdon Farms Golf Club in Aurora, Ore.
LBSU recorded a 27-over-par 315 in the opening round to finish in seventh. The 49ers improved by 13 strokes in the second round for a 302 to move up in the standings to tie for fifth with future Big West Conference member Boise State. LBSU has a 36-hole score of 41-over 617.
Seattle leads the field of 13 teams at 18-over 594, holding a 13-shot lead over second-place Oregon State (31 over) and ahead by 15 shots over third-place Northern Arizona and Cal State Fullerton.
Freshmen Kassidy Teare and Shawnee Martinez led the way for the 49ers, tying for 22nd with an 11-over 155.
Teare carded an opening-round 82 to tie for 47th, coming back in the second round with a nine-shot improvement for a 73. Martinez, playing in her first collegiate tournament, shot a 74 to tie for sixth, but fell in the standings after shooting an 81.
Sophomore Chaewon Park is just one shot behind with a 12-over 156, tying for 25th.
After shooting an 83 to start the tournament, senior Simone Hoey came back in the second round with a 74 to improve by nine shots.
Junior Rochelle Chan is tied for 34th at 14-over 158 after rounds of 80 and 78.
The final round action is today.
Women's basketball
Long Beach State held its first official practice of the 2012-13 season Monday at the West Gym.
"It was great to see all the girls together on the court," fourth-year head coach Jody Wynn said. "I think we worked hard today and there was a lot of spirit in the gym. It's nice to see our returners vocal, positive and really encouraging our three newcomers."
LBSU held a nearly three-hour practice in its first session as an entire team.
"There's a different aura on the court right now because of our returners and how they finished last year," Wynn said. "Everybody is a little bit more confident and so it's easier to talk, direct and encourage on the court. Our chemistry is really good and we just have to get a little bit better every single day."
LBSU will host Sacramento State in its season opener on Nov. 9.

Not to plug my own forthcoming second novel, but–aw, why the hell not? THE ABUNDANCE is coming out from Holt/Metropolitan on March 5, 2012, and from OneWorld in the UK a couple months after that. I happen to hate it right now, in the way I have of hating things I have written–I never touch my own volumes of poetry or my first novel (neither, it seems from the sales figures, does anyone else)–perhaps for the same reason I cannot bear to hear recordings of my voice, and sometimes am seized with the desire to tear up all but the earliest photographs of myself. And yet naturally I hope desperately that other people don't hate it, and the news has been good so far; it has gotten a starred review from Kirkus, a glowing review from Publishers Weekly, and was recently featured as a New Book Pick in Good Housekeeping, which Wikipedia informs me has a circulation of 4.6 kazillion.
I thought I would excerpt the publicity questionnaire I filled out about the novel for the UK publisher. I found myself in a commenting sort of mood as I answered them. Rather than rewrite my answers as posts, I figured I'd just paste them here. Shakespeare as the father of the modern novel, the "immigrant experience in literature," and some random other things….
Q: The Abundance is concerned with inter-generational relationships in immigrant families – is this rooted in personal experience?
A.M.: Few of the actual incidents are drawn from life. My mother is thankfully quite healthy, and the characters in the narrator's family are nothing like the people in my own family. The main sequence drawn from personal experience is actually drawn from my parents' personal experience—that of both the narrator and her husband going back to India for a prolonged time to take care of their mothers, who both grow seriously ill at the same time. The details about the grandmothers are similar to my own grandmothers, but even with them, it's not a faithfully drawn portrait; I changed and emphasized things for effect, the way fiction writers frequently do. Having said all that, the passing details throughout the book, the little bits of life that give the imaginary the feel of the real, are very much drawn from observed life.
Q: What do you think about the portrayal of the immigrant experience in literature?
A: I think that The Abundance, when I wrote it, wasn't about the immigrant experience; it was about a mother-daughter relationship primarily, and family above all. I think that, because the interactions take place within an immigrant family, the book, inevitably, will be defined as an immigrant story; if the same themes and relationships were transposed into a "mainstream" white American cultural context, we'd be talking about it as a book about a mother and daughter. I myself certainly didn't set out writing the book thinking, "Let me write about immigrants"—I wanted to write about two women, which struck me as a sufficiently difficult thing to do, and because the approach was to be realist, I placed the story in the most clearly observed setting I know, which is that of an immigrant family.
Q: You've moved from dealing with the political in Partitions to the personal in The Abundance. What inspired the change?
A.M.: I cannot say the change was inspired by anything in particular—or that it was even a change. I move around constantly, and I'm often thinking about—or working on—multiple works at once. I drafted a novel about werewolves while in the middle of writing The Abundance, and also wrote several of what have turned out to be my most successful poems. And Partitions is actually more personal for me; the voice of the narrator of that book, as he talks about his twin sons and the one twin's illness, is more personal, more "me," than anything in The Abundance.
The most significant change, from my perspective, was a more fundamental one than setting and time period; it was a change in the storytelling itself. Partitions is a slender book where all sorts of things happen—it's full of events and actions, very plot-driven. This new novel is almost the complete opposite; it progresses almost entirely through conversations, memories, and emotional shifts—slower in pacing, and much more character-oriented.
Q: You've now published two novels in quick succession – do you find writing easy? How do you come up with your ideas?
I do not find writing well "easy"—I think it is the most difficult thing in the world to have an effect on a reader. The act of stringing together words is not a difficult thing; look at the massive amounts of prose churned out by bloggers on a weekly basis. The invention of brilliant metaphors and images will not save a writer, either; immense complexity and fullness of language can be quite devoid of effect, which is something you see frequently among contemporary poets. Only the effect, not the language itself, is placed in the scales against silence. And I do not find having an effect easy at all.
Q: You're a poet as well as a novelist – how does this shape your writing?
A.M.: When I have a story to tell, I write fiction. When I have a sound to make, I write poetry. The accidental doing of the one through the other is probably the source of my best work.
Q: Which other writers inspire you?
A.M.: Shakespeare, for the most part. He inspires both my prose and my poetry. My poetry purely on a linguistic basis, but my fiction, too, because of the way he inhabits his characters, even the villainous ones. The dramatic monologue of a stage character and the thought-narration of a novel's characters are closely related; it's almost as though the latter evolved from the former. Shakespeare's massive influence on the novel as a form is consistently underestimated; I don't even know if it has been pointed out that, before Shakespeare, you found out what people thought (in Homer, or in Dante, or anywhere) based on what they said to each other. So if Agamemnon is angry, he harangues someone. With Shakespeare, and eventually with the novel, you have pages and pages of people talking to themselves. This was a revolution in literary art. You wouldn't expect it to start on the stage, where people by definition are talking to each other; but that's why Shakespeare is Shakespeare, I guess.

North Charleroi retiree spent almost 4 decades in medical profession
Gwendolon Houchins found her nearly four decades in the medical field "fulfilling."
Her compassion for people was a perfect fit for the profession.
"I'm a people person and that was needed in the profession," said the North Charleroi resident. "I have compassion for people who are sick.
It was the compassion that ultimately caused her to retire, in order to provide one-on-one care for an ill family member.
Growing up in Charleroi, she moved to Philadelphia after graduating from Charleroi High School in 1959 to pursue better job opportunities.
She worked in retail before moving back to the Pittsburgh area in 1967, when she accepted a job at St. Francis Hospital in Pittsburgh, working as a receptionist.
Within two years, she became office manager in the diagnostic radiology department, where she managed all nontechnical staff, including medical residents.
"We had to teach them to dictate and be concise with their dictation," Houchins said.
Houchins spent 21 years at St. Francis Hospital before retiring in 1988.
She then accepted a position in medical billing for Transcomp Medical Billing in Pittsburgh.
Houchins helped restructure the company's billing system. She retired from the firm in 2006 to take care of her cousin, Josephine Taylor, who was in failing health.
"It was a choice of either a nursing home or bring her home to care for her," Houchins said.
For two years, Houchins cared for her cousin at her North Charleroi home before she passed away in 2008.
Houchins still resides there.
"My greatest joy was working with the nuns (at St. Francis Hosppital,)" Houchins said. "They bent over backwards to assist me.
Houchins said her aunt, Gwendolyn Dececilo – Taylor's mother – was the second African-American woman to graduate from California State Teachers College. She taught in a segregated school in Baltimore during the 1950s.
Houchins also was a bit of a trailblazer in her profession. She was the first African-American woman hired as a manager at St. Francis Hospital.
Houchins said she did face racism on the job from patients.
She recalled one time when a patient was brought in with kidney stones. He was violently ill but ,when she approached, he told her to stay away.
Undaunted, she held him and cared for him, even cleaning him up after he heaved on himself and her.
After recovering, he later found her in the hospital and apologized for his earlier attitude.
"He said, 'I don't know what I would have done without you,'" Houchins recalled.
Houchins said the hospital employees were very close.
"I considered the hospital as family," Houchins said. "If anyone had a hardship, we took care of them. If you got a call at 2 a.m. that an employee had a house fire, you'd get blankets and food for them immediately.
"We came to the rescue and considered everyone, even down to housekeeping and the kitchen help, as family," Houchins said.
Houchins is an active member of the Wayman Quinn A.M.E. Church in Monessen.
She also is involved in the Girls with a New Vision, a mentoring program for girls ages 11 to 15 who are given guidance on social norms and learn about various professions from guest speakers.
"We try to get people from the community to speak on their professions," Houchins said.
Her goal is keeping active, to an extent. Houchins said she used to love to roller skate, but two back surgeries caused her to hang up her skates.
"I'm 73," Houchins said. "I could have been working still if not for my back."

A civilian attorney representing accused Fort Hood shooter Maj. Nidal Hasan filed an appeal Friday challenging the government's intention to use evidence obtained through secret surveillance against Hasan.
The evidence is likely communications between Hasan and U.S.-born al-Qaida operative Anwar al-Awlaki obtained by government agents as they monitored al-Awlaki's communications.
Those communications, a series of emails made between December 2008 and June 2009, "tripped the wire" during an FBI investigation of al-Awlaki before his death. The FBI never formally investigated Hasan prior to the Nov. 5, 2009, shooting on post; however, it maintained a record of those communications.
After the shooting, the discovery of Hasan's emails with al-Awlaki led to an investigation of the FBI dubbed the Webster Report. It concluded that several agents erred in their failure to recognize Hasan's alleged movement toward Islamic extremism.
The FBI made many of those emails public after Congress pressured the agency to release the report. The communications could be used against Hasan as evidence he acted as a "home-grown terrorist" during his upcoming court-martial.
Government prosecutors have full access to information obtained through the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act, but Hasan's attorneys have been forbidden from viewing the materials.
His civilian attorney, Columbus, Ohio, lawyer Eric Allen, argues that a lack of access to those documents violates Hasan's due process. Hasan, 42, faces the death penalty for 13 counts of premeditated murder and 32 counts of attempted premeditated murder.
His court-martial was placed on hold by a separate appeals process currently being litigated in the Court of Appeals for the Armed Forces.
The new appeal, filed with the Fifth Circuit, was denied by the U.S. District Court in Waco on Aug. 14 after a judge viewed the FISA evidence independently.
Hasan's attorney argues the military defense should have access to any and everything obtained through secret government surveillance. At least one of Hasan's defense counsel has top secret clearance and could be ordered to not reveal the content of the FISA evidence.

HSRC Senior Research Associate Arthur Goodwin presented a research paper entitled "A Social Norms Approach to Reduce Drinking-Driving Among University Students" at the 2004 International Council on Alcohol, Drugs and Traffic Safety (ICADTS) Triennial Meeting in Glasgow, Scotland.
The paper summarized findings from a groundbreaking, on-campus alcohol study conducted by Center researchers. In 1997, with strong support from university officials, HSRC began a first-of-its-kind study of drinking among UNC students by taking voluntary, anonymous breath-alcohol measurements as students returned to their residences in the late evening (10 p.m. to 3 a.m.) on all nights of the week. They found that on traditional "party" nights – Thursday, Friday and Saturday – two out of three students returned home with a zero blood alcohol concentration (BAC).
Based on this research, a comprehensive social norms campaign, dubbed the "2 out of 3" program, was launched in the summer of 1999. Social norms programs are designed to correct misperceptions about drinking by presenting accurate information about student alcohol use. The "2 out of 3" campaign was sustained for four years and included interactive presentations at first-year student orientation sessions, posters, newspaper ads, curriculum infusion, and a web site. Additional surveys were conducted in the fall of 1999 and 2002 to assess short- and long-term effects of the campaign. Overall, 6,300 undergraduate UNC students were interviewed during the study.
The results showed an 11 percent decrease in drinking among surveyed drivers. The average BAC of drivers who had been drinking decreased from .043 to .022. In addition, among drivers who had been drinking, the percent who registered a zero BAC increased from 16 percent to 46 percent. That is, though they had been drinking it was so little that it was out of their system when they drove. Those drivers registering a BAC over .05 decreased from 40 percent in 1997 to 16 percent in 2002.
ICADTS is "an independent nonprofit organization aimed at reducing
mortality and morbidity brought about by misuse of alcohol and drugs
by operators of vehicles in all modes of transportation."
The Transportation Research Board (TRB) has formed a new subcommittee on school transportation to address issues impacting the safety, security, health and quality of school travel. The Center's director, Dr. Doug Robertson, will serve as co-chair of the subcommittee along with Jeff Tsai, director of the Pupil Transportation Group at the Institute for Transportation Research and Education. The subcommittee meets annually at the TRB Annual Meeting held in Washington , D.C.
On Wednesday, October 6, 2004 , students, parents, and community leaders across the United States and around the globe celebrated a simple but all too rare act – the walk to school. Celebrating eight years of promoting walking, International Walk to School Day brought together more than 3 million people from 36 countries around the world.
The idea is to walk to school together with a purpose – to promote health, safety, physical activity and concern for the environment. Walk to School Day brings together community coalitions that push for safety improvements for pedestrians, increased physical activity and local government policy changes. Established in the United States in 1997 by the Partnership for a Walkable America, the event was expanded in 2003 to International Walk to School Week, offering schools around the world the opportunity to increase their efforts, such as incorporating safety programs into classroom curriculum and hosting safety-themed events.
To learn more about Walk to School Day, visit www.walktoschool.org. The Web site includes resources such as health information, details on events across the United States and a downloadable checklist to assess the walkability of a community. More information about the Partnership for a Walkable America and access to an interactive version of the checklist is available through www.walkableamerica.org.
Dr. Jane Stutts, HSRC's associate director for social and behavior research, accepted the Best Scientific Paper Award from the Association for the Advancement of Automotive Medicine (AAAM) during the organization's 48th annual meeting.
The award was given for "Causes and Consequences of Distraction in Everyday Driving," a paper based on research funded by the AAA Foundation for Traffic Safety. Paper authors were Jane Stutts, John Feaganes, Eric Rodgman, Charles Hamlett and Donald Reinfurt of HSRC and Kenneth Gish, Michael Mercadante, and Loren Staplin of TransAnalytics. The paper was published in the 47th Annual Conference Proceedings.
According to AAAM, the award recognizes "high-quality research in new and sometimes controversial areas."

Irving had made official visits to Jacksonville, Virginia Commonwealth and Saint Louis University and had also considered an official visit to Alabama, where former VCU coach Anthony Grant was recently hired.
He was originally scheduled to visit K-State weeks earlier, but was not able to make that trip and had to reschedule.
"I really liked some of the other schools but Kansas State stuck their head out above the rest," Irving told the Miami Herald. "Today when I walked down the tunnel onto the floor there, I pictured myself in a K-State uniform.
"Coach Martin was real honest to me and that means a lot. He said if I come in and work hard, which I intend to do, I will play right away. That is the bottom line."
The versatile Irving could see time at either guard spot for the Wildcats and his reputation as a strong defender could earn him minutes early in his career.
He has also proven to be a winner. Irving helped his high school squad compile a 55-5 record in his final two seasons.
Irving averaged 14 points per game as a junior when the Cobras went 22-2 and lost in the Florida Class 6A state championship game. As a senior, he averaged 17 points and 7 rebounds per contest as Boyd Anderson went 25-3 but were upset in the regional quarterfinals.

It's hoped the creation of an Australian National Preventive Health Agency will be approved by parliament in the coming weeks. The agency is the brainchild of the National Preventative Health Taskforce, which last year came up with a series of recommendations for the Federal government to achieve better health outcomes for Australians.
The agency will be independent of government and coordinate, monitor and evaluate national policies and programs in preventative health. Most importantly however, it's recognising prevention as one of the key platforms of health policy in Australia as we go forward. Considering a whopping 32% of Australia's total burden of disease is attributable to avoidable risk factors such as tobacco, obesity, alcohol and lack of physical activity, the agency is of vital importance.
Of special significance to Quit is smoking - still the leading cause of preventable death in Australia. Although smoking rates are at their lowest levels ever (17.9%), sadly 15 thousand people die every year because of smoking. The Australian National Preventive Health Agency will help spread Quit's message even further by better co-ordinating national smoking cessation strategies, and hopefully as a result, help implement strategies to further lower smoking rates and save more lives.

Comments about Pimsleur Ukrainian Conversational Course - Level 1 Lessons 1-16 CD:
I just want to mention that I'm four weeks into the course and on unit 4 on the second CD.
I'm an old man with memory issues, and I can say that this course is easy!
It seems to be increasing in intensity, and I don't know how intense it will get, but it looks like I may be able to handle myself if I were in Kiev after 120day on this course -_-
The only thing I can see that is a negative is that once in a while, an important sentence will be thrown in quickly without the chance to go over it again and again like the course normally does, but this has only happened twice to me. It just takes replaying the sentence over and over until I get it.
I'm writing down all of the words and phrases using my own phonetic spelling, and I go over them before I start my lesson which helps a lot.
I never knew I was going to love Ukrainian but this method and lessons has been a joy to learn, I can't wait to use it in real life. Thanks...Scott REV 18

Comments about Pimsleur Ukrainian Conversational Course - Level 1 Lessons 1-16 CD:
I spent thirty years as a language teacher on the high school level (Latin and German). I wish this program had been available during that time. Short of total immersion, the Pimsleur program is the next best method of learning to speak another language. I have learned French and Spanish through other courses, but with no where near the ease with which I have been able to speak Ukrainian. My Ukrainian friends are impressed by my pronunciation which they declare is as close as an American speaker can get. I will be spending extensive amounts of time in Ukraine working with the Ukrainian Lutheran Church, so this ability to converse in the language will prove invaluable.

If that part is broken, then setting query_other_jobs should get around that problem: set server query_other_jobs = True The second part is being able to run jobs. That requires manager with no way around that. I assume you are running 2.4.x? That is not widely deployed.

text: As my wife was dragging me around shopping yesterday, I made my first trip into a Jos. A. Banks. Â Mostly out of curiosity because of the post a couple weeks ago where one member was highly praising the quality/value of their suits. (I don't see it, just my opinion) In any event, their top tie line appears to be a seven-fold. Â They sell for $69 and seemed pretty decent. Â Anyone know if there are any telltale signs of how to tell if they are true seven folds without doing anything that would make the sales staff angry?

Probably the quickest and safest fix is simply to delete the bin sub-directory. The scripts in there are meant for command line use and (as far as I know) are not used by any other part of Dokuwiki - i.e. deleting it shouldn't break you're wiki and if you don't know what they're for, you don't need them.
Have to take my share of blame - dwpage.php is code I wrote - had never occurred to me that someone would place it publically under their document root, given it's a command line script meant for administrators only, with shell access to the server. A check at the start, using php_sapi_name() for the CLI sapi would have prevented this.
Hi Oliver, et al... (perhaps Andi)
I realize there is panic mode right now, so don't see this as any kind of immediate request...
I am not (and I'm sure this is the case for others) horribly confident beyond the .htaccess fix on how exactly to change(or check) the register_argc_argv, and really the configuration of php safe_mode, php base_opendir and things of that nature.
So if all of this is required, Oliver, if you or someone knowledgable could post a wiki:tip for this, it might help...
This is just partially due to inexperience with apache as well as not being able to self host.
And again I realize this is non-finalized; some things like this might not be necessary-- but if they are, please keep the above in mind.

Research Profiles : High altitude adaptations :
Narrowing down the candidates
The graph made it clear that some genes stand out from the pattern and have very different allele frequencies in the two populations. These genes have probably undergone selection recently, but Emilia couldn't be sure which population had experienced selection. The observation of an allele with a high frequency in the Tibetans and low frequency in the Han might have been caused by selection favoring the allele in the Tibetans (and so might be related to adaptation to high altitudes) or by selection acting against the allele the Han (and so have nothing at all to do with adaptation to high altitudes).
After comparing allele frequencies with the Danish, one gene stood out: EPAS1, short for the mouthful endothelial Per-Arnt-Sim domain protein 1. As you can see on the graph above, two variants of this gene had a frequency of over 80% among Tibetans but less than 30% among Han Chinese. Furthermore, the Han and Danish had similar allele frequencies for this gene, while the Tibetans alone had a high frequency of two unusual alleles which suggests that selection favored those particular alleles in the Tibetans. In this diagram, the length of each branch is proportional to differentiation in allele frequencies. The left hand diagram shows the average differentiation for all exons, and the right hand diagram shows the differentiation for EPAS1. The extra-long Tibetan branch indicates that, for this gene, allele frequencies changed a lot in the Tibetan population.

The primary function of inmate classification is the systematic process of coordinating evidenced based inmate assessments and assignment procedures with available resources so as to minimize community risk. An inmate at any custody level can be assigned to any facility that has a security level at or above the inmate's custody classification. The Department will attempt to provide opportunities for the productivity, growth, and development of the inmate in the least restrictive setting possible. The classification process will utilize all available information, but will endeavor insofar as practicable to base all decisions on a standard list of established case factors with each identified factor being given the same relative consideration for each decision. Program access, work assignments, and administrative decisions will be made without regard to an inmate's race, religion, national origin, sex, disability, or political views.

Upon admission to the Nebraska Department of Correctional Services, the Records Office of the receiving facility (Diagnostic & Evaluation Center or the Nebraska Correctional Center for Women) creates an "institution" inmate file. This file is maintained on active status throughout the entire period of incarceration. Upon discharge, the file is transferred to the Central Records Office for permanent storage and microfilming in compliance with the Department's Records Retention Schedule.
Per Nebraska Revised Statute 83-178, the contents of the inmate file are confidential and cannot be released without a court order. However, limited information is a matter of public record and may be released to the public upon request. Public information is listed in the inmate locator section of our website. http://dcs-inmatesearch.ne.gov/Corrections/COR_input.html
Along with the "institution" inmate file, a Central Office inmate file is also created in accordance with Nebraska Revised Statute 83-1,100. This file is similar to the "institution" file maintained by the institution Records Office and is also confidential in accordance with the Statutes cited herein. The Board of Parole and its staff use this file to assist in carrying out the duties of that agency. The Central Office departmental staff also uses this file to assist them in the routine decision making functions of those positions.

By Anthony Breznican, USA TODAY
USA TODAY asked Transformers fans to vote for the characters they most want to see in a live-action sequel. The winner is a blast from the past — and a challenge for the filmmakers.
The results:
Soundwave: Winner with 20% of the vote
He may not have been in the first live-action Transformers movie, but a parody featuring the tape-deck robot as an out-of-work actor has made him a YouTube star and sentimental favorite. He won the poll, though many aren't sure what new form he could take. Some commenting on USATODAY.com suggested a spy plane, which could dispatch Soundwave's other robotic drones such as the metallic cougar Ravage and the condor Lazerbeak. Comics writer Bob Budiansky, who gave personalities to many of the original 1980s Transformers characters, joked that sequel producers should think smaller: "Nowadays he would turn into something like an MP3 player. Imagine, an evil iPod!"
Devastator: 16% of the vote
Tied for second place is the evil Devastator, a giant made of bulldozers, dump trucks and other vehicles, which also transform into a team of individual robots. "What makes Devastator stand out from the crowd is that the six Constructicons combine to form him, making him a truly awesome killing machine — even by Decepticon standards," Budiansky says.
Grimlock: 16% of the vote
This Tyrannosaurus rex-shaped Dinobot, also tied for second, is one of the Transformers' strongest (and strangest) anti-heroes. "In the cartoon show he was portrayed as just dumb, but in the comic he's a bit more of a reluctant good guy and is always butting heads with everybody around him," says current Transformers comic book writer Simon Furman.
Jetfire: 11% of the vote
Some air cover for the heroic street-vehicle Autobots also garnered strong support, ranking Jetfire third in the poll. In the cartoon, Jetfire was a former Decepticon who sees the errors of his ways, but in the comics the futuristic jet was designed as "an Autobot with no mind of his own, so I could let a human teenager control him," Budiansky says. "A serious case of wish fulfillment if there ever was one."
Ultra Magnus : 9% of the vote
Also fourth was Ultra Magnus, a tractor-trailer with similar characteristics to Optimus Prime (his toy mold was basically the same). Introduced in the 1986 animated movie, he has some supporters, but not many. It doesn't help that he was designed to replace some of the most popular characters. "Poor Ultra Magnus — an Optimus Prime wannabe. He could talk the talk, but he couldn't walk the walk," Budiansky says.
Shockwave: 9% of the vote
Tied for fourth place, Shockwave is the Decepticon ruler of their home planet Cybertron and transforms into a giant laser cannon. Budiansky conceived him as a twisted Mr. Spock, "guided by pure logic in its most cruel and calculating form." IDW Publishing editor Chris Ryall, who oversees the current line of Transformers comics, says his featureless face makes him ominous and inscrutable: "He's only got one big eye, which is a cool visual."

The NSW government rushed into a deal to secure the V8 Supercars race for Sydney with inadequate advice and poorly planned negotiations, the auditor-general has found.
He has released a critical report on the government's efforts to secure the popular race in 2008, saying the negotiation process was poorly managed.
His report estimates that the $35 million price tag for the five-year deal will be exceeded by $10 million, while the proposed economic benefits are 24 per cent less than has been flagged by the government.
In its rush to sign up to the deal, cabinet also failed to properly consult with experts at Events NSW, who raised concerns with then premier Morris Iemma that there was a need for more due diligence, it says.
The negotiation process itself was "not well planned" and "disjointed", and was rushed because of the tight timeline to sign up to the deal, the report says.
Media reports that the government had given in-principle support months before the deal with V8 Supercars Australia was signed, also weakened the government's negotiating position, NSW Auditor-General
"Negotiate first, announce second - not the other way around," he said in a statement.
While Mr Achterstraat conceded the race day had been a success, with a total of 151,000 spectators attending the event last December, he questioned whether it represented a good deal for taxpayers.
"The V8 Supercars race at Homebush Bay was managed well on the day and by all reports the spectators enjoyed themselves," he said.
"But a good day is not the same as a good deal."
Mr Achterstraat said the process of securing major events to NSW should be better managed in future, and be based on more detailed analysis and a proper business case.
"This is one major event that we can learn from," he said.
"The government should get the best possible advice from its experts on assessing and negotiating major event proposals.
"There needs to be a more consistent and accurate costing of events by all agencies, and detailed reporting on major event performance."
The report is also critical of former state development minister Ian Macdonald, who was central to the negotiation process, for not adequately addressing conflicts of interest.
Mr Macdonald, who resigned from parliament earlier this month over allegations he rorted his travel expenses, is a good friend of one of the event organisers.
"Potential conflicts of interest were not dealt with actively through the use of a negotiation strategy to ensure that controls were operating," the report says.

Sunday night I had the pleasure of attending Chadwick Johnson's singing performance at Upstairs at Vitello's inStudioCity. A packed house filled the room as I enjoyed pasta and the attention of the serving staff including the delightful Millicent.
The clear singing David Park was the opening act as he engaged the audience. A highlight was a song which gently poked fun at our cultural perspectives.
Chadwick Johnson then offered a variety of songs from his new EP Soul Rising aided by the piano accompaniment of Todd Schroeder and Matt Bobb who participated in a couple of numbers on the guitar. This all made for a fine mix.
Johnson sang a variety of songs — some old standards, some from his new release, even some that he wrote, and he generously shared names of others involved in the creative process.
Baby boomers take note — the singer was reminiscent of Gene Pitney in several ways including looks and the versatile voice styling. He has been compared to Steve Perry and Eva Cassidy with his incredible range. Also, the audience of wide age ranges rejoiced in the very soulful and deliberate interpretations of each number.
One of my faves for the night was the meaningful rendition of "Both Sides Now." I also was drawn to "Angel Flying Too Close to the Ground" and the motivational "I'm Gonna Live" from Chadwick Johnson's new EP Soul Rising. He also does a powerful version of "Unchained Melody" also on the EP. A recent death of Johnson's step-father was the inspiration for Soul Rising which is for sale on iTunes and Amazon.com.

Easter Egg Bread Recipe
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 2 packages (1/4 ounce each) active dry yeast
- 1 to 2 teaspoons ground cardamom
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 6 to 6-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1-1/2 cups whole milk
- 6 tablespoons butter, cubed
- 4 large eggs
- 3 to 6 hard-boiled large eggs, unpeeled
- Assorted food coloring
- Canola oil
- 2 tablespoons water
- In a large bowl, mix sugar, yeast, cardamom, salt and 2 cups flour. In a small saucepan, heat milk and butter to 120°-130°. Add to dry ingredients; beat on medium speed 2 minutes. Add 3 eggs; beat on high 2 minutes. Stir in enough remaining flour to form a soft dough (dough will be sticky).
- Turn dough onto a floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, about 6-8 minutes. Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease the top. Cover with plastic wrap and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 45 minutes.
- Meanwhile, dye hard-boiled eggs with food coloring following package directions. Let stand until completely dry.
- Punch down dough. Turn onto a lightly floured surface; divide into thirds. Roll each portion into a 24-in. rope. Place ropes on a greased baking sheet and braid. Bring ends together to form a ring. Pinch ends to seal. Lightly coat dyed eggs with oil; arrange on braid, tucking them carefully between ropes.
- Cover with a kitchen towel; let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 20 minutes. Preheat oven to 375°.
- In a bowl, whisk remaining egg and water; gently brush over dough, avoiding eggs. Bake 25-30 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from pan to a wire rack to cool. Refrigerate leftovers. Yield: 1 loaf (16 slices).
Reviews forEaster Egg Bread
My Review

"We've been making this for the past five years...mine is going into the oven right now! My college-aged daughters still look forward to having this beautiful and tasty bread at Easter."
"Not only does this taste good, the presentation is so pretty. I find that it tastes best the same day it is made."
"This SOUNDS wonderful and I am going to try it this weekend. My question is: are the eggs good to eat after being first hard boiled, then baked in the oven? Maybe they are just for the decoration??"
"This is a wonderful delicious Easter Egg bread Recipe ! The Eggs definately need to be pre-cooked. I substituted cardamon for Vanilla and used 3 cups White Four and 3 cups Whole Wheat Flour. I served it with fresh Butter and Cinnamon. What a beautiful and colorful and yummy presentation this made. This Recipe is definately a keeper I plan to make this every Easter. I used 6 pre-cooked assorted colored Easter Eggs going between each Braid of Dough that rises to a big beautiful colorful Egg's Nest. This Recipe is Eggceptional ~ YOU WILL LOVE IT !!"
"This is a great recipe! Me and my 8 year old son made it for the first time this Easter. I did substitute the cardamom with Vanilla and vegetable oil for canola but that was only because I did not have them on hand. The directions were perfect and the bread came out gigantic and delicious. We will definitely be making this every Easter. After it came out of the oven we also made a glaze to pour over it of 2 cups Powdered sugar, water and a tablespoon of clear vanilla. The glaze should be as thick as syrup. I just keep adding water until I get the consistency I want - after the glaze Sprinkles and done !!!"
"Dear pennymccl, Maybe I can can help with answers to your questions. My mom always made this bread for Easter. I'm getting ready to make some now. The very best way to serve it is same day fresh. Still slightly warm from the oven is even better. We always sliced it. It is not a pullapart bread like "cinnamon monkey bread". Mom would slice it at the table and set the eggs aside when she came to one. They're just hard-boiled eggs by the time they come out of the oven even though we dyed raw eggs to use. The reason to bother with this bread (in addition to the fact that it is yummy), is its beautiful presentation. Let it grace your table for people to ooh and aww over before it is sliced and served."
"I have a few silly questions, and hope you all can help. I'm looking forward to making this bread for Easter, but my family has never had it before. What's the best way to serve it? Do your guests pull off sections? Or do you slice it between the eggs? Do you just offer butter as a spread or is there something else that people use? Does the person who gets the egg normally eat the egg or is really just set aside as a decoration? Thanks for your help, and Happy Easter!"
"My mother made a bread similar to this every Easter. It was delicious. The only difference that she and now, I, make is I use vanilla extract in place of cardamom, and the eggs do not have to be hard boiled!! Just tuck dyed UNCOOKED eggs into the bread and they cook right along with the bread. Have done it for years and will be doing it again this year."
"First time making this and it turned out great! Recipe was simple and easy to follow, and the bread is delicious. Note: do not use Olive Oil to coat the eggs as it doesn't seal in the dye so I have blue and red patches where the eggs were! LOL. (The color doesn't affect the taste of course.) Next time I'll use regular vegetable or canola oil.This was a big hit at my house, and it will be a new annual tradition here. Thanks for the recipe ,Heather!"

The Best Accessories Ever: Puppies!
Paper Magazine knows what's up. For their latest editorial fashion shoot, they paired models with puppy dogs, ensuring that even the most hardened fashion cynic would just have to pause and take a look. The photos, shot by photographer Emily Shur, feature models (facing away from the camera, so you never see their faces) cradling pups while wearing some of the latest cool accessories. Take a look!


text: So I just had orientation today. I got paired off with a small group of other people (around 20), and had to do those "get-to-know-you" introduction exercise shits. Most of the guys were guidos (I'd say 40% of the entire school is guido population), while the other guys looked uncomfortable as fuck. Thank goodness the redeeming factor was the girls. I'm a commuter, so I get the worst of the worst. 98% of the commuters that were in the commuter meeting were minorities, and most of them were wannabe-hypebeasts. During the day, I just had random conversations with everybody, but none that particularly held my interest. Maybe I'm elitist from having been on SF. I know that the best way to dive into college is keeping it superficial at first, but what the fuck. Commuting is total hell. I don't even have a cell phone, for fucking sakes. I'm thinking of a plan that offers 2 lines (one for family and me), with decent texting and good service. I don't want to jump across $60-70, because I'm on a budget, and college is already expensive as is. Any suggestions on that front? Overall, for those who know the gist of college, how would you recommend I approach this? I'm pretty new to all of this, as everybody else. Yet I'm at a disadvantage, simply because I commute. How do I get the CWGs? Wear A&F bootcut jeans and Old Navy flip-flops? I need some enlightenment here. Any helpful advice would be greatly appreciated. I go to Fordham in the Bronx, fyi.

An SUV collided with an ambulance Monday evening and then hit two other vehicles in Rolling Hills Estates.
No one was injured in the 6:30 p.m. accident at Crenshaw Boulevard and Palos Verdes Drive North, sheriff's deputies said.
The McCormick ambulance - with lights and siren on - was transporting a patient northbound on Crenshaw when a Honda Pilot heading west on Palos Verdes Drive North struck the emergency vehicle in the intersection, according to Lt. Judy Anderson of the Lomita sheriff's station.
The SUV then flipped, knock over a light pole and landed upright on all four tires. The Honda, however, also hit two other vehicles heading southbound on Crenshaw.
After leaving contact information, the ambulance continued on to Torrance Memorial Medical Center with the patient.

Sugary excerpt of the weekend from Kate Summerscale :
Writers before [Flaubert] had agonised about style. But no novelist agonised as much or as publicly, no novelist fetishised the poetry of "the sentence" in the same way, no novelist pushed to such an extreme the potential alienation of form and content (Flaubert longed to write what he called a "book about nothing"). No novelist before Flaubert reflected as self-consciously on questions of technique. With Flaubert, literature became "essentially problematic", as one scholar puts it.
Or just modern? Flaubert himself affected a nostalgia for the great unselfconscious writers who came before him, like Molière and Cervantes; they, said Flaubert in his letters, "had no techniques". He, on the other hand, was betrothed to "atrocious labour" and "fanaticism". In different ways, the modern novelist is shadowed by that monkish labour. [...]So what did Flaubert mean by style, by the music of a sentence? This, from Madame Bovary – Charles is stupidly proud that he has got Emma pregnant: "L'idée d'avoir engendré le délectait." So compact, so precise, so rhythmic. Literally, this is "The idea of having engendered delighted him." Geoffrey Wall, in his Penguin translation, renders it as: "The thought of having impregnated her was delectable to him." This is good, but pity the poor translator. For the English is a wan cousin of the French. Say the French out aloud, as Flaubert would have done, and you encounter four "ay" sounds in three of the words: 'l'idée, engendré, délectait.' An English translation that tried to mimic the untranslatable music of the French – that tried to mimic the rhyming – would sound like bad hip-hop: 'The notion of procreation was a delectation.'
I have always wonder whether Emma Bovary was stylish because she was real or real because she was stylish. I am making the assertion that Gustave Flaubert filtered his style to make reality 'artistic' as some filter their wine to make it more palatable by erasing its imperfections and often diluting its complexity.
To put it differently, I have always preferred Anna Karenina to Emma Bovary because I sensed that the former wasn't just a stylish idea of what female amorous angst ought to be.

I recently shifted to the north corner of Mumbai called Mira road, a few stops away from being called wildlings beyond the wall. An interesting attribute of this development is that I spend longer hours in the local train and get to observe people and their habits (in a non-creepy way). One habit that took my attention is how people use their mobile. Some play games, some message, some watch videos and some glance into neighbours' screen.
Few observations:
1. Mobile Devices:
– Samsung Duos is everywhere. Everywhere! (And I hate it. But that's just me)
– Sony Z series phones are surprisingly common, perhaps because they stand out due to styling. I wasn't expecting them to be seen so often.
– Blackberry has finally become rare.
– iPhones are stared a lot. (And as an owner of one, it creeps me out. I keep it in the pocket or clinch it even more firmly)
2. Mobile usage:
– GAMES – I see games 6 out of 10 times.
— Candy crush rules the charts. Everyone is happily smashing candies together.
— I saw FIFA on sony z series pretty frequently, perhaps due to the recent football fever.
— Temple run is still a favorite, wonder if it has anything to do with religious allegiance of Indians.
— No angry birds
— Timberman was also seen on few screens (One of my favourites too)
— People of all age groups play games.
— No line, hike, viber etc here. Only whatsapp.
— Almost everyone seems to be talking to their girlfriend or boyfriend (Yes, I glanced into their screens overflowing with "awwww" "jaanu" "<3" etc)
— Usually younger lot are busy tapping messages.
— Saw a lot of people watching videos, either catching up on Kapil's show or watching Jhalak dikhlaja or a recent trailer or wondering why is baby doll made of gold.
— Few were watching full blown movies too.
— Saw people sharing earbuds while watching videos, even with strangers. New age newspaper sharing?
— Most of the time, videos were stored and not streamed. Can be because of 2 reasons: 1) no/slow 3g on device or 2) frequent disconnection in local train. I will bet on the second reason which makes me wonder how much time and effort people are spending to consume content
— Surprisingly, I didn't see anyone reading up on their device.
— Even twitter was not seen. Facebook was seen few times but mostly no.
— No streamed music again. All music is stored.
— songs.pk makes frequent appearance
— m-indicator (the travel guide for Mumbaikars)
— whatsapp
— gmail
Some other observations
— I didn't see anyone googling anything. Almost everyone has a set agenda. Take the local, grab a seat or find a stable standing position, take out mobile, 2-3 taps and start watching/playing/listening. I was astonished by this behaviour. Watching all this videos, playing games etc takes a toll on the battery and people carrying battery packs is pretty common.
All this highlights very well, how the true-masses look at smartphones. They are pure entertainment devices. But they don't have money to pay for entertainment and will switch their loyalties very easily, if the game starts charging. Unless and until an app is useful frequently, it will be deleted to make more space for music and videos and games.
Lot more to observe. Do share your experiences.

Goodman Property Trust reported a 3.1 per cent fall in half year after tax distributable earnings to $NZ37.3 million ($29.11 million), with the decline partly due to higher financing costs.
Net rental income of $NZ53.1 million in the six months to the end of September, was slightly down from the $NZ53.5 million a year earlier. Interest was up to $NZ11.1 million from $NZ10.5 million.
The trust, which has a $NZ1.5 billion property portfolio, said its average lease term was 5.5 years as at September 30, while the average occupancy rate during the preceding six months was 95 per cent. Rental growth was 2.2 per cent.
More than 45,000sq m of industrial and business space had been leased, equating to about $NZ8 million of annual rent, the trust said.
Initiatives had been undertaken to diversify and extend its capital base.
Before accounting for a $NZ131.7 million deferred tax charge due to building depreciation changes, the after tax profit was $NZ30.9 million, compared to $NZ13.2 million a year earlier.
With the one-off deferred tax charge, which would not result in any payment of tax under current tax law and would have no impact on operating profitability, cashflows or distributions, the result was an after tax loss of $NZ100.8 million, the trust said.
