The rock veteran has thrilled fans at Gorillaz's concert by taking the stage with the band for a rare live collaboration, performing 'Some Kind of Nature'.
Rock veteran Lou Reed sent fans into a frenzy at the Gorillaz concert in his native New York on Friday night, October 8, when he stepped on stage to perform a rare live collaboration with the band. The "Clint Eastwood" hitmakers were performing at Manhattan's Madison Square Garden, where Reed joined rocker Damon Albarn's band to reprise his metallic guitar solo for the Gorillaz's "Plastic Beach" album track "Some Kind of Nature".
The Brooklyn-born rocker was also given his own animated caricature for the night, which was projected on a giant screen behind him as he played for his hometown fans.
But Reed wasn't the only guest star to step on stage - the Gorillaz's two-hour set also featured Mos Def adding vocals to tracks "Stylo" and "Sweepstakes", De La Soul rapping on "Feel Good Inc." and soul star Bobby Womack, who added vocals to "Stylo" and "Cloud of Unknowing".

Ellen DeGeneres May Keep Swimming for 'Finding Nemo' Sequel
Ellen DeGeneres is in talks to reprise her role as Dory in the Disney-Pixar Finding Nemo sequel, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
In the 2003 animated blockbuster, DeGeneres voiced Dory, a Pacific Regal Blue Tang who suffered from short-term memory loss. The original storyline follows the whirlwind journey of Marlin (Albert Brooks), a father clown fish who travels the ocean in search of his missing son, Nemo (Alexander Gould).
And a follow-up to the fish tale seems to be right up DeGeneres' alley.
The talk show host has frequently touched on her desire to see a Finding Nemo sequel come to fruition.
Writer-director Andrew Stanton, who wrote and co-directed Nemo, is set to return for the second film. Victoria Strouse is penning the script and Lindsey Collins is producing. A 2016 release date is projected.
The original, which won an Oscar for best animated feature, has raked in $868 million to date worldwide and set various box office records when it opened in 2003.
Finding Nemo will return to the silver screen with a 3D re-release on September 14th. But don't hold your breath for the sequel — it's expected to be released in 2016.

Published: September 12, 2013 - 07:38 AM
STOW: The city's Planning Commission voted 4-1 Tuesday to approve auto dealer Ron Marhofer's proposal to rezone three residential properties for commercial use.
"If approved by City Council, this rezoning paves the way for potential redevelopment and investment at the Marhofer site, which will significantly improve the appearance of the Kent/Darrow Road area," Planning Director Rob Kurtz said.
Marhofer, who originally requested the zoning change in June 2012, wants to expand his dealership at the corner of Darrow and Kent roads. The renovation would require razing three homes — at 1941, 1947 and 1955 Thorndale Ave. — currently zoned as single-family residential.
The lots total approximately 1.3 acres.
"This rezoning and potential improvement addresses an area of the city that needs attention," Kurtz said.
Marhofer said in a phone interview Wednesday afternoon that he was "encouraged by the decision" and "happy to move the project forward."
The dealership's expansion has been a long-standing controversial issue between Marhofer, city officials and neighborhood residents. After the Planning Commission tabled the original rezoning proposal, Marhofer moved forward with a text amendment request to allow auto sales and rental in districts zoned as community retail (C-3) or general business (C-4).
In January, council opted to grant Marhofer's request to amend the city's zoning code, which would allow the auto dealer to expand his operations onto the land adjacent to his business — currently zoned as residential — if the parcels were rezoned to commercial.
Five residents addressed the commission with their concerns about the proposal at Tuesday's meeting.

Because we do not place execution limits on nodes
 (users can have multiple jobs running on the same node
 and multiple users can be using the same node),
 we use an epilogue script which calls another script
 to clean up leftover processes based on the jobid.

 Here is the epilogue script, which runs on the mother superior node
 and executes as root.

 #!/bin/bash
 JOBID=$1
 JOBUSER=$2

 # get nodes involved in this job
 nodelist=/var/spool/torque/aux/$JOBID
 if [ -r $nodelist ] ; then
 nodes=$(sort $nodelist | uniq)
 else
 nodes=localhost
 fi

 # for each node involved in the job
 # kill any pids leftover from that job

 for i in $nodes ; do
 ssh $i "su -c '/var/spool/torque/mom_priv/cleanup $JOBID' $JOBUSER"
 done

 Here is the 'cleanup' script:

 #!/bin/bash

 # look in the /proc process structure and
 # kill all pids associated with the passed in $JOBID
 # this script is run as the user, not root

 TOKILL=$1
 [ -z "${TOKILL}" ] && exit 1
 ME=`whoami`
 cd /
 find /proc -noleaf -maxdepth 2 -name environ -user $ME |
 while read x; do
 PBS_JOBID=""
 if [ -e $x ]; then
 pid=$(basename $(dirname $x))
 if [ -e $x ]; then
 eval $(cat $x | tr '\0' '\n' | grep PBS_JOBID)
 if [ "${PBS_JOBID}" == "${TOKILL}" ]; then
 kill -9 $pid
 fi
 fi
 fi
 done

 - Corey

such a script shoud be unnecessary if you use a TM-based job launcher for whatever flavor of MPI you use, but I guess it doesn't hurt

At least nine modernization projects at public and private facilities in the South Bay have been brought to a halt following a sweeping court ruling that air quality officials say could affect hundreds of businesses across Southern California.
A Los Angeles Superior Court judgment issued last month has blocked planned upgrades at two public facilities - the Palos Verdes Landfill and the Terminal Island Sewage Treatment Plant - as well as the installation of new equipment at the local sites of seven companies.
The South Bay projects are among dozens so far that have been affected by the court decision, which was appealed earlier this month.
The ruling, which invalidated the process used by the South Coast Air Quality Management District to give out emissions credits for new equipment, could affect hundreds and even thousands more public and private projects that need those credits in the coming year, district officials said.
"It would be impossible to understate the importance of this," said Kurt Wiese, the AQMD's attorney.
The district - which implements federal and state clean air regulations in most of Los Angeles County, as well as Orange County and the urban portions of Riverside and San Bernardino counties - changed its complicated permitting process in 2006, leading to the lawsuit.
The rule changes gave power plants access to AQMD's internal bank of comparatively cheap emissions credits, which are scarce and expensive on the open market but are required for new equipment that emits air pollutants. The changes also expanded the bank of credits available.
The actions were vehemently opposed by environmental groups, which sued, partly hoping to stop a planned gas-fired electricity plant in Vernon.
"The dramatic shift in policy was what caught our attention," said Tim Grabiel, a staff attorney for the Natural Resources Defense Council, one of the groups that sued the AQMD.
"We have a trading program designed to support low-polluting alternatives, but at the same time - we have the district destroying the underlying premise of the market," Grabiel said.
The district had been swayed to change its rules after state energy officials warned several years ago that electricity shortages were imminent in Southern California unless more power plants were constructed, said Sam Atwood, an AQMD spokesman.
Part of the district's argument for its support of new power plants was that energy shortages would be bad for air quality, Atwood said.
"You get a lot of businesses wanting to fire up their emergency backup units, which are diesel-powered and extremely dirty. Diesel represents a significant cancer risk," he said.
But Judge Ann Jones did not buy that.
Quoting the environmental groups that filed the suit, she wrote, "The district's proposed medicine is far worse than the disease it purports to cure."
Jones stated that the new rules "expanded exponentially the universe of pollution credits available to entities needed to increase emissions in an already polluted basin. The size and breadth of the (AQMD's internal credit bank) has clear, obvious and measurable consequences in a world in which those credits will be accessed and used by credit-hungry polluters."
The environmental groups touted the ruling, which called for the district to do a more extensive environmental review before it could again offer credits from its internal bank.
"This is a huge victory. It has ramifications here in Southern California, statewide, and is raising issues on a federal and international level," Grabiel said.
But the side effect of the case has been that any company or public entity that would have relied on the cheap, internal AQMD emissions credits cannot install new equipment.
A good portion of those smaller projects would actually reduce emissions, according to AQMD court filings.
"They took a shotgun approach to dealing with the Vernon power plant and, in the process, our permitting program has taken a hit," Wiese said. "It's collateral damage."
According to AQMD court filings, the proposed projects that have been halted in the South Bay include:
New equipment that uses methane to create electricity from decaying trash at the Palos Verdes Landfill.
Air pollution control upgrades at a Terminal Island sewage treatment plant.
Upgrades at the El Segundo power plant operated by NRG Energy Inc.
Replacement of old turbines at Tesoro's Wilmington refinery.
New equipment at gas and oil pipeline operator Kinder Morgan's Carson facility.
New equipment at BP West Coast in Carson.
Air pollution control at the Chevron refinery in El Segundo.
A new cooling tower at Air Products in Wilmington.
A new industrial oven at Pacific Continental Textiles in Rancho Dominguez.
"Everything is on hold," said Robert Ferrante, who heads the solid waste management department of the Sanitation Districts of Los Angeles County, which runs the Palos Verdes Landfill.
"We can't even start anything yet until we receive a permit from (AQMD)," Ferrante said.
The Rolling Hills Estates landfill, which was closed in 1980, needed permits for a $10.4 million fuel-cell that would have improved the efficiency and productivity of the site's aging power plant. The project, which was given the go-ahead last month by the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors, needed a new low-emission flare that would have required pollution credits.
Those credits would cost about $10 million on the open market, Atwood said.
"This is a very unfortunate result of this lawsuit because Los Angeles County sanitation district has proposed a very advanced, state-of-the-art project that would benefit the environment," he said.
NRDC's Grabiel said he understood the concern over the ruling's effect on landfills and other public facilities, but pointed to the district's recent court filing that lists the dozens of projects that will be halted. Some are from major polluters, and Grabiel questioned whether they deserved easy access to AQMD's internal credits.
"There's even a beer facility," said Grabiel, referring to an Anheuser-Busch project in Van Nuys.
In its appeal, AQMD is seeking to regain use of its internal emissions credit bank, but it has abandoned plans to provide credits to power plants, Wiese said.
To get the bank operable again, the district will need to restructure its credit system and submit it to environmental review at the state and federal level. It will likely be at least a year before that process is complete, he said.

Julian Consuegra's Stray Rats Clothing Line Combines Hardcore Punk and Graphic Design
Twenty-two-year-old Miami native, Julian Consuegra, stands at a confluence of genres, philosophies, and methods. His clothing brand, Stray Rats, is the product of a buffet-style sampling of youth culture via digital age appropriation of various waves and trends that have become prerequisites to understanding the 2010s: hardcore punk, hip-hop, high fashion, and graphic design.
Since founding the line in April of 2010, the distinctive Stray Rats insignia, as well as an array of visual riffs and remixes, has been an unavoidable presence for young Miamians who spend their free time in bars and clubs up, down and off Biscayne Boulevard. Check out the cut for the Stray Rats story.
Consuegra explains he founded the line while "watching Beauty and the
Beast and scratching [my] farts. I thought I should do something that

would reflect my obsessions." As documented on his Tumblr, those obsessions include collectible toys and seemingly all
manner of pop culture detritus.
via Stray Rats tumblr
For Stray Rats, Consuegra summons the
clean aesthetic of hip brands like Supreme, as well as the aggressively
youthful, friend-oriented energy of straight-edge hardcore punk. When
pressed to explain whether or not hip-hop and hardcore fashion overlap,
Consuegra takes the ambiguous high road: "They do and they don't. I know
a lot of hardcore kids in different areas who wear Polo gear, Jordans,
old Nikes, good tees, nice jeans, on their menswear tip, or on some
crossover Biohazard/Leeway style of dressing."
Though pinpointing which elements of Stray Rats are influenced by
specific genres is difficult, a safe generalization may be that
Consuegra borrows the tidy vibe of branding and pairs that with
references to hardcore content. This includes a Subhumans parody shirt
and the Stray Rats "Sewer Crew" concept, a simple branding that appeals
to the brotherhood theme consistent throughout hardcore punk.
Staying true to its punk rock roots.
For Conseugra, the crew rules supreme: "When I make shit, I just think
about what I would wear. I would never make something that I or my
friends wouldn't wear." That crew extends all the way to the West Coast,
with support coming from photographers Julian Berman and Lucas
Vercettii, who rep the brand and document people wearing it.
The most
high profile model thus far has been Odd Future hip-hop collective
leader, Tyler the Creator, who Berman shot wearing Stray Rats before the
ensemble experienced their meteoric rise in attention.
The Stray Rats website is currently sharing a sneak preview of the
summer catalogue, and the peek reveals Conseugra has been hard at work
developing the brand's concept. Alongside reprints of the o.g. Rats logo
on cream and tie-dyed shirts alike, the summer line also presents a
clever series of parody/homage designs, including a graffiti redux of
the logo, a version of the brand in black metal font, as well as
basketball-style jerseys sure to keep every member of your pack looking
extra fresh in the pit.
When asked about a hypothetical anti-materialist punk response to Stray
Rats, Conseugra is unphased. Though some might decry the label as some
kind of sell-out or greedy appeal to moronic pop culture, and others
might briefly dismiss the brand as "hipster shit," Consuegra has no time
for such lambasts. To the critics and/or haters, Conseugra says "It's
not made for you."

Modern Family's Ariel Winter shared a photo of herself dressed as Dora the Explorer while working on a new live-action spoof of the kids' cartoon for College Humor.
She captioned the pic:
"Dora's back. And better than ever"
The College Humor video is a follow-up to the fake movie trailer they released earlier this year for Dora the Explorer: The Search for the Infinity Orb, which featured Winter as a gun-toting, evil-fighting version of the animated 8-year-old.
As i'm sure we're all aware, Winter, 14, was placed in the temporary custody of her sister, Shanelle Gray, earlier this month after allegations of emotional and physical abuse emerged against her mother, Chrisoula Workman.

The Revenge of Baumol's Cost Disease?: Monetary Union and the Rise of Public Sector Wage Inflation
Many political scientists and economists have addressed the implications of the public sector's sheltered status on their unions' wage strategies vis-à-vis the government. Since the public sector is a monopoly provider of necessary and price inelastic services, conventional wisdom suggests that public sector unions' push for wage increases which their productivity does not merit, exacerbating inflation and fiscal deficits. The argument in this paper challenges this conventional view, and maintains that the recent, puzzling rise in public sector wage inflation, relative to that in manufacturing, in Euro-zone countries is an unintended result of the institutional shift towards European Economic and Monetary Union (EMU). During the 1980s and 1990s, differences in wage inflation between the manufacturing and public sector within most EMU candidate-countries were low. After 1999, these differences significantly worsened; wage moderation continued in the manufacturing sector while wage inflation arose in the public sector. It is argued here that monetary union's predecessors, the European Monetary System and Maastricht regimes, imposed two important constraints on public employers, which enhanced their ability to enforce wage moderation: the commitment to a hard currency policy via participation in the Exchange Rate Mechanism, adopted by some earlier than others and, the Maastricht criteria. Monetary union's removal of these two constraints weakened public employers' capability to deny inflationary wage settlements to public sector unions. Panel regressions results outline a statistically significant relationship between monetary union and higher levels of wage inflation in the public sector, relative to manufacturing. The paper concludes with a brief discussion of the implications of monetary union for inter-sectoral dynamics.

James Franco Didn't Think His Oscar-Hosting Performance Was Very Good Either
"For three or four weeks we shot the promos and the little film that played in the opening. In the last week, when we really started focusing on the script for the live show and did a run-through, I said to the producer, 'I don't know why you hired me, because you haven't given me anything. I just don't think this stuff's going to be good.' … As far as having low energy or seeming as though I wasn't into it or was too cool for it, I thought, Okay Anne is going the enthusiastic route. I've been trained as an actor to respond to circumstances, to the people I'm working with, and not force anything. So I thought I would be the straight man and she could be the other, and that's how I was trying to do those lines. I felt kind of trapped in that material. I felt, This is not my boat. I'm just a passenger, but I'm going down and there's no way out."
– James Franco finally dishes on his infamously low-energy Oscar-hosting performance, which he was clearly and, now admittedly, unenthusiastic about, in an interview with Playboy. Find out what skit he was particularly unhappy about appearing in, after the jump…
"I was so pissed about that I was deliberately going to fall onstage and hopefully my dress would fall off or something — they couldn't blame that on me; I was in high heels. The plan had been that I was going to sing as Cher and then Cher was going to come out onstage; that got axed when Cher and the song from 'Burlesque' weren't nominated. I told them, 'Look, this is the thing people are going to talk about, the images they will take away from the show … I just didn't want to fight anymore, even when they said, 'You'll come out as Marilyn Monroe. It'll be funny.' Me in drag is not funny. Me in drag as Cher trying to sing like her is a thing. That didn't happen, so then I just didn't want to argue anymore. I was going with their program."
I'm a little confused by the excuses Franco is making here. Did he hate the material? Was he purposefully low-energy because that was the schtick he was going for, to contrast Anne Hathaway's hyper-happy thing? Did the producers not allot enough time to perfect the show's material because they spent so much energy on the promos? Or is James just making excuses for not taking his job seriously? Either way, I don't think he'll be offered the hosting job again — not that he would take it. [via Huffington Post]

The arrival of international chains such as Zara and Topshop, and increased competition from global online retailers, has forced Specialty Fashion and its peers to invest heavily in design teams to differentiate their ranges and make it harder for consumers to compare products and prices on the web.
"Traditionally in our industry and particularly our market segment, in the mass market end, we would go overseas to the UK and US, we'd go to all the Zaras of the world and look at their styling and prints and product and do the same/same but different, take it via China and get it knocked off," Mr Perlstein said.
"What we are doing now is we are setting for ourselves our own designs and prints without copying any of these global players . . . how can you when they're now on our shores physically and online?
"We knew the global entrants were coming and we couldn't use them for inspiration any more."
Specialty Fashion, which runs one of Australia's largest clothing store networks and owns the Millers, Katies, Crossroads and City Chic brands, now employs 10 designers plus support staff in its Sydney headquarters and is aiming to design all its products in-house.
"It's a fundamental change to the DNA of our business," he said.
Rivals such as
"In our core apparel brands we have internal product developers that look at the same things that international fashion houses look at, the catwalks and the latest collections that come out overseas, and then design to local conditions more than anything else – colour palettes, fabrics and weights of garments," Premier retail chief executive
Even department store
"They're brands we fully own, they're very unique and vertically integrated and they're highly lucrative for us . . . you can't buy them anywhere else except Myer, you can't price check them on the internet and, equally importantly, they provide intellectual property that can't be mimicked by others in the market," Mr Brookes said.

I guess you will have to let the other folks speak for themselves. I surely
did not in any way say to leave the topic alone... I said it wasn't right.
Why would I say leave the topic alone -- no one is replying. Apparently no
one cares or everyone on the list believes they are Turks -- I'm not sure how
far back the 'self-indentification' goes since the archives are gone but in
Brent's 2004 book he says;
" here in American if one feels himself to be a Melungeon and is willing to
declare it publicly regardless of predjudices, then he or she is a Melungeon.
Based on Ataturk's philosphy, I would assume as well that if one feels
himself to be a Turk, then one is indeed a Turk..."

Expecting True Blood actress Anna Paquin, 29, was photographed leaving an office building in Beverly Hills, Calif on Wednesday (April 18) donning a loose-fitting, all-black ensemble including a long trench coat and a over-the-chest purse that hid any signs of her growing baby bump.
Anna and her True Blood husband Stephen Moyer, 42, recently announced that they were expecting their first child together. The couple met on the True Blood set back in 2007 and Stephen proposed in 2009. They got married the following year.
Stephen is already father to his two children Billy, 12, and 10-year-old Lilac from previous relationships.
Congrats again to the happy couple!

A record of over one and a half centuries of architectural history, the RIBA's Periodicals Collection holds news from 150 years ago this month about the winner of the competition to build the Albert Memorial…
'There can, indeed, be no doubt that the public expect a monument of great and conspicuous magnificence.'
(George Gilbert Scott in the Builder, 18 April 1863, p.276)
Mismanagement had damaged the project for a grand memorial to Prince Albert in Hyde Park, in the opinion of the Building News of 24 April 1863. It said anything built subsequently that could be said to resemble art would exceed everyone's low expectations. What was ultimately erected, through its rich decoration and sculptures, symbolically brought together the arts, sciences and industries that Albert promoted during his life.
Two days earlier Scott won the competition to design the Albert Memorial, beating the entries of six other invited architects including Charles Barry Junior, E.M. Barry and Philip Charles Hardwick. This expensive example of Victorian architecture, a symbol of a monarch's grief and paid for by public subscription, is the most grandiose memorial to Prince Albert. Many smaller memorials were built across the British Empire, something that the Building News considered had diverted energy and funds away from the creation a greater imperial monument in Hyde Park.
'The structure is to have a shrine-like appearance, and be enriched to the utmost extent all the arts can go.'
(Building News, 3 April 1863, p.307)
Despite reservations about the rejection of the Classical style that Albert was reported to have favoured, Building News's description of Scott's Gothic design is remarkably similar to what was built – lavishly decorated and with a seated statue of Prince Albert underneath a canopy, but with one exception. What today is still a major landmark in the area of London dubbed 'Albertopolis' could have disregarded all practicalities and been nearly twice the size and height, reaching 300 ft high, according to Building News. This idea, intended to make Scott's design even more striking by simply increasing its size, was soon dropped.

- Building News, 3 April 1863. 'The Memorial to the Prince Consort', vol.10, pp.249-50

To: Interested Parties
From: Senate Democratic Communications Center
Date: August 2, 2010
Re: How Many Jobs Can Republicans Kill This Week?
…and how many excuses will they make while doing it?
Republicans have spent this entire Congress trying to kill every piece of job-creating or saving legislation that Democrats have managed to pass, such as the HIRE Act (5.6 million new hires eligible for tax credits), the Recovery Act (3 million jobs saved or created) and health reform (at least 250,000 jobs created over the next ten years).
Now, Republicans are looking to head into August with a foursome of job-killing obstruction by trying to kill:
· State aid which would save thousands police officers and firefighters from getting laid off
· A teachers jobs measure which would help states retain 130,000 K-12 teachers
· An energy bill that would create up to 700,000 jobs
· A small business bill which would help small business owners create 500,000 jobs
And all this comes on the heels of Republicans' tenacious defense of the reckless Wall Street executives whose irresponsible gambling led us into the financial crisis that cost 8 million Americans their jobs.
When the Republican agenda seems to be to kill as many jobs as possible as we continue to work our way out of the worst economic crisis in half a century, and to defend CEOs and their corporate interests at every turn, it truly makes you wonder whose side they're on.
And is there any doubt Republicans will roll out a raft of implausible excuses to explain their obstruction?
On small business, one of their own caucus members, Sen. George LeMieux, declared that the bill "should have 70, 80 or more votes in this chamber." Nearly every idea included in the bill is a bipartisan idea. Senate Democrats have made several additional changes at the request of Senate Republicans, yet Republicans have blocked it at every turn, refusing to take yes for an answer.
On preventing the layoffs of teachers, firefighters and policemen, their old excuse was they didn't like the way it was paid for. We changed the pay-for. So what will their new excuse be?
Republicans have also objected to debating a comprehensive energy bill so Senate Democrats have introduced a much needed bill with bipartisan measures to create jobs, reduce our dependence on oil and hold BP accountable. How will they shirk responsibility on this one?
Only time will tell, but it should be interesting to watch our Republican colleagues explain how trying to kill over one million jobs in one week is a good thing.

A strange mixture of melodramatic union-bashing and sharp, penetrating observations on working-class life. The villains are phantoms of an ill-informed imagination, but Attenborough's lone-wolf worker, holding out against an unofficial strike, is vivid and well thought out. The realism of his life with fading Italian bride (Angeli) and womanising lodger (Craig) is superbly realised, and hardly seems to belong to the same film as the leering Teddy boys who act as union heavies and the steely-eyed agitator (Burke) whose machinations control the fate of the sheep-like workers. As Attenborough's jaunty individualism is transmuted into paranoid hysteria, the intrusion of tragic melodrama into what looked like a realist social problem film becomes more satisfying. With the villains scattered and the hero blinded for daring to take on the world single-handed, one emerges, like the workers, suitably chastened.

Frank Caeti - Fight or F*ck
Out of Bounds Comedy Festival
Sunday, September 5, 2010 from 12:00 PM to 4:00 PM (CDT)
Event Details
SUNDAY, Sept 5
Noon - 4pm Frank Caeti (of FrankenMatt) - Fight or F*ck - Hideout Upstairs
As human beings we are all capable of a diverse range of emotions, yet often our improv scenes are driven by either anger or lust. We are compelled to fill the scene with words and become uncomfortable with vulnerability and silence, but sometimes what we don't say is more important than what we say. Making strong acting choices that are informed by subtext and intention can create richer scenes. In this workshop, we will focus on making honest, real choices that ground the improvisor to the emotional reality of the scene.
Frank Caeti
has taught and performed improvisation for over 10 years. As a performer, his credits include: series regular on MADtv, a resident company alum of The Second City Chicago, io Chicago, Reno 911, io west, UCB, Just for Laughs Montreal, CSz Chicago, and one half of the duo FrankenMatt. He is currently a faculty member at The Second City Hollywood. Frank has taught improv for ComedySportz and Second City in Chicago, SC Las Vegas, workshops in many cities including Denver, Seattle, Charleston, Dallas, and Beijing, China.

Nick Kypreos of Sportnet, ex-player, tweets that the NHL suspended Matt Cooke for the rest of the regular season (10 games) plus the first round of the playoffs for his cheap-shot elbow to Rangers rookie Ryan McDonagh Sunday in Pittsburgh.
UPDATE: That has now been comfirmed! (The official announcement from the NHL is below).
The NHL had no choice, really. This was a crossroads decision. With all the blabbering all week long following the GM meetings, all season long with regards to a rule (albeit one, until now, without teeth) about headshots … with Cooke's teammate and captain Sid The Skid Crosby out with a concussion … with Mario Lemieux's public, hypocritical whining … and with all the damage that Cooke has managed to this season and last …
Well, Cooke just put this decision right up there on a platter for NHL HQ.
In my opinion, Cooke's recent body (and head) of work — ending Marc Savard's career, going after Alex Ovechkin's knee, Artem Anisimov's head, Chris Drury, Fedor Tyutin (his most recent suspension, last month) — is worse, far worse, than Dale Hunter's single moment of brainlessness, the cheap shot on Pierre Turgeon in the 1993 playoffs that earned a 21-game ban from Gary Bettman. How does Cooke, repeat offender, intent-to-injure specialist, not get at least that? I guess you could argue that potentially seven playoff games and 10 season games is greater than 21 regular-season games (though players don't lose pay if suspended for playoff games).
Because the league had become wimpy, wimpy, wimpy on this issue. It was waiting for its next Todd Bertuzzi/Marty McSorley moment. It was encouraging the Trevor "Village People" Gillies of the world to get their revenge. It kept allowing Cooke to wreck seasons and careers after sitting in the classroom corner for a quick timeout.
This was time to put the whole sport on notice, and the NHL didn't whiff, this time. Good job.
By going after McDonagh's head, when he had every opportunity to deliver a clean hit, or a borderline late hit and clearly chose the elbow-to-head shot, Cooke was laughing at the NHL's justice system and the game's very public attempts to remove such flagrant cheapshots. By, time after time, taking shots aimed at inflicting injury, Cooke has quite clearly shown that such actions are not only predatory and repetitious, but also premeditated.
Here is the official announcement from the NHL:
TORONTO (March 21, 2011) — Pittsburgh Penguins forward Matt Cooke has been suspended for the remainder of the regular season (10 games) and the first round of the Stanley Cup Playoffs for delivering an elbow to the head of New York Rangers defenseman Ryan McDonagh in NHL game #1080 yesterday, the National Hockey League announced today. Cooke will forfeit $219,512.20 in salary.
"Mr. Cooke, a repeat offender, directly and unnecessarily targeted the head of an opponent who was in an unsuspecting and vulnerable position," said NHL Senior Executive Vice President of Hockey Operations Colin Campbell. "This isn't the first time this season that we have had to address dangerous behavior on the ice by Mr. Cooke, and his conduct requires an appropriately harsh response."
Cooke's most recent suspension was for four games on Feb. 9, 2011 and under the terms of the Collective Bargaining Agreement forfeits his salary based on the number of games in the season (82), rather than the number of days (186). The money goes to the Players' Emergency Assistance Fund.
The incident occurred at 4:36 of the third period and Cooke was assessed a major penalty for elbowing and a game misconduct.
Cooke will miss Pittsburgh's remaining 10 regular-season games and be ineligible for the first round of the Stanley Cup Playoffs.

Citation: Banuelos, G.S., Dhillon, K. 2010. Developing a sustainable phytomanagement strategy for excessive selenium in western united states and India. International Journal of Phytoremediation. 13:208-222. Interpretive Summary: Selenium (Se) toxicity affects biological ecosystems in arid and semi-arid regions of the world with alkaline seleniferous soils derived from marine-type sediments. In central California, the bioaccumulation of soluble Se in the avian food chain and the resulting high mortality and reproduction failure in migratory aquatic birds led to a well-publicized environmental disaster. While in northwestern India consumption of Se-rich forage and grain crops grown on seleniferous soils resulted in serious health hazards to animals and humans. Irrespective of region, one inexpensive alternative method for managing high levels of soil Se may be a green technology known as phytoremediation. In its broadest sense, the strategy uses plants to manage contaminated water and/or soil by accumulation, extraction, volatilization, stabilization, filtration, and degradation. Effective phytoextraction requires that plants produce relatively large amounts of biomass and absorb appreciable amounts of Se from the soil. Once absorbed by plant roots, Se translocated to the shoot may be harvested and removed from the site. In addition to extracting Se from contaminated soils/waters and immobilizing Se in their tissues, plants also have the ability to metabolize Se into a non-toxic volatile gas. In this paper, we will discuss the field application of phytoremediation to manage Se from Se-laden soils and waters and in two different long-term case studies in California, USA and in Punjab, India and discuss the importance of developing new plant-based resources for increasing the sustainability of the phyto-strategy. Multi-year field phytomanagement studies were conducted with plants and trees from 1993-2009 at different sites in the Westside of central California, known to have pockets of high Se concentrations in their soils, in waters used for irrigation, and in drainage water produced from these areas. A large number of plants and trees were also evaluated for their ability of phytoremediation on Se-contaminated soils under greenhouse and field conditions from 1998-2008 at different locations in northwestern India. In California, high sulfate concentrations in the soils or waters used for irrigation by plants reduced the accumulation of soluble Se, while low sulfate concentrations in Punjab soils allowed the plants to accumulate high concentrations of Se. Phytoextraction of Se by plants not only removes Se from soils and waters by plant accumulation, but harvesting the Se-enriched crops produces food and feed products of potential economic importance for the grower. Moreover, sustained operation of this agronomic based system demonstrates the effectiveness of attempting to develop a holistic phytoremediation system for managing contaminants, e.g., Se, and transforming them into valuable biofortified products and byproducts.
Technical Abstract: The phytomanagement technology is recognized as an inexpensive and environmental friendly strategy for managing natural-occurring selenium (Se) in soils and in poor quality waters. Multi-year field and greenhouse studies were conducted with different plant species in California, USA and Punjab, India under high Se growing conditions. Some of the plant species included; canola (Brassica napus), mustard (B. juncea), broccoli (B.oleracea), menta (Menthe viridis) sugarcane (Saccharum officcinarum), guara (Cyam opsis tetragon oloba), wheat (Triticum aestivum) and poplar (Populous deltoides). California soils had a sodium-sulfate-dominated salinity between 6-10 dS m-1, while Indian soils had a calcium carbonate salinity less than 1 dS m-1. Results demonstrated that high sulfate conditions reduced plant Se accumulation more than 100x in Californian grown plants compared to Se accumulation in India grown plants. Tissue concentrations generally did not exceed 10 and 200 mg kg DM-1 in leaves of plants grown in California and India, respectively. Importantly, India-grown plants should not be directly consumed by animals or humans because the excessive plant tissue Se levels could lead to Se toxicity. At these plant concentrations, Se phytomanagement is more effective in Indian soils than in California soils. In northwestern India, the Brassica and poplar based cropping systems were highly suitable for managing Se-contaminated soils under low sulfate growing conditions. Results showed that irrespective of harvesting stage, total Se removed in the above-ground biomass of rapeseed based cropping sequences ranged between 740 and 1040 g Se ha-1 yr-1 between 500 and 760 g Se ha-1 yr-1 for poplar based farming systems. If this practice was adopted as a regular strategy in the seleniferous region of northwestern India, remediation of Se-contaminated soils is possible within a period of 20-35 years. The time needed for a near complete remediation (if possible) becomes less important if Se-rich biomass produced by the plant-based strategy is considered a resource of economic value. Successful management of Se by plants requires selecting crops or crop rotations that are tolerant for the soil condition and identifying and creating new viable Se-enriched products. Coupling phytomanagement of Se with the creation of new biofortified and byproducts, e.g., Se-enriched vegetables, animal feed, organic Se fertilizer, and even a byproduct like biofuel, may provide California and Indian growers unique opportunities to increase the environmental and economic sustainability of a plant Se-management system, while supporting the agriculture community in the respective region.

Randy Blythe, the Lamb Of God frontman charged with manslaughter last year in the Czech Republic, has been acquitted. Prosecutors have eight days to appeal the decision, which they say they still plan to do.
Blythe was accused of causing the 2010 death of 19-year-old fan Daniel Nosek, who prosecutors say jumped on stage at a Lamb Of God Show, whereupon Blythe pushed him off. Nosek later died of head injuries sustained in the fall.
Blythe already served quite a bit of time in Czech jail last summer, after prosecutors challenged his bail requirements. After spending 38 days behind bars, he was released after posting $400,000 bail, on the condition he return to the country to stand trial.
In his closing statement, Blythe said he would make sure the conditions that led to Nosek's death would never happen again—not only at Lamb Of God shows, but at any concert in the future.

When gabbing with the girls, in the last 4 years or so, about elective procedures, I always said I would have a Tummy Tuck. But, I never really thought it was an actual obtainable goal. I have three boys all 5 years apart. I was in my twenties with the first two and bounced right back. The last baby was the smallest at 7 lb 10 oz. I gained 50 lbs.
I am 5' 7" and avg weight (give or take a few) is 140 lbs.
I have a coworker that had a TT about a year ago. I confided in her and told her how I always thought about it, but never too seriously. I bombarded her with questions every time I saw her. She suggested that at least I go in for a consult. So I did, then I started thinking it could really be something I could do for myself.
I "interviewed" 3 different doctor's and their staff. I went with the questions for a mini TT and/or lipo. Each Dr said that I would be happier with the results of a full TT. Each time I visited with one Dr. I came up with a list of questions for the others. So I would call back each practice and ask questions. I kept going back and forth between two. I went back and visited with them again and then pulled the trigger with a deposit. I love the practice I went with and every time I speak to them, my selection is reconfirmed.
After that, the emotions became too much and I was ready to back out and use the deposit towards botox or something else. My emotions were all over the place. I was back and forth of would I be happier with muffin-top roll or a scar. Was I being too vain? I mean, my case wasn't like any others I had seen. If I just invested in a personal trainer and hit the gym 5x a week, I could possibly get results that I wanted. But, how long would that take and how would I fit that in between work and family? I reached out to only a few people and got nothing but encouragement and positive feedback.
So here I am ...3 days post-op. So that is the short story. Everything has fallen in to place, I cannot believe it! I still have tons of emotions. My biggest fear was location of the incision due to not having a ton of skin to remove, but it seems to be okay and I look forward to it healing.

Norwin Region Arts Council takes 'Chalk to the Block'
The Norwin Region Arts Council took its message to the sidewalks of Irwin recently during its first "Chalk the Block" event.
The group began scrawling on the sidewalks two nights before the Irwin Business & Professional Association's Art and Jazz Night on June 20 to promote the event. Their chalk art continued during Art and Jazz Night in an effort to add a visual element to the music-dominated event, arts council founder Kathleen Heuer said.
"We wanted to have an activity accessible to everybody, that wouldn't require tons of volunteers, that would really enhance the night," she said.
Heuer said the arts council took to Twitter, a social-networking site, to tell the public about "Chalk the Block," and when volunteers would be on Main Street with chalk. Within 10 minutes, Heuer said, people began to come out and draw on the borough's sidewalks.
Soon, more and more people began to draw, Heuer said.
"It was cool to see the looks people had on their faces as they were drawing," Heuer said. "After we were done, I noticed people walking slowly and looking down, as if they were in a museum art gallery."
During Art and Jazz Night, the arts council made chalk available for attendees to continue making sidewalk art, said Gail Macioce, an Irwin councilwoman and IBPA member.
Macioce said the chalk art helped attract more people — especially families — to Art and Jazz Night.
"Over the years, we wanted art to be more involved with this event," Macioce said. "This was really a nice touch and got more young people involved, while exposing them to the wonderful jazz musicians we have playing here."
Heuer said the arts council plans to draw on the sidewalks again before the July 18 and Aug. 15 Art and Jazz Nights. She said she hopes to see "Chalk the Block" continue to grow and possibly serve as a promotional tool for more events in downtown Irwin.
"We had a lot of people who thought it was really fun, and it's something that everybody who participated was excited about," she said. "It was just a really neat thing I wasn't expecting to do as well as it did."

A few months ago, an uncle of my wife asked me to help them modernize their IT. Well, "modernize" means: Install a computer in the first place, with Internet. So, given the best price/performance they could get was getting fibre, i told them which plan was most interesting for them with their preferred provider, built them a Ubuntu machine, set them up a domain name with associated info@ and called it a day.
I just – falsely – assumed that moving over to VoIP would be no big deal because you can attach your old handset to the FritzBox (the ISP provided router, which includes VoIP functionality. I don't like FritzBoxen much, but they do have a lot of functionality for the classic home user. Anyway… The providers goons come on-site and it turns out that their telephone system is "not conform", and that's the nice way to put it.
Basically, what he didn't tell me is that years yonder when he was just a mere apprentice and his father was the ruler of the company, the telephone company (monopoly, back in the day) did some hacks so a bell would sound in the workshop. You know, that was kinda possible with 5V on the lines. I admit, it was my mistake for not asking. I kinda, should have suspected that a carpenter isn't in his office all the time. On the other hand, he might have told me about these things beforehand. My suggestions would most likely have been different.
There are some other really bad hacks on their installation, but I told them to fix that with the phone company and it is mostly to do with sharing the line between a habitation and the workshop. You gotta separate those two, if only because it's a pain for customers calling you and Grandma picking up the phone.
Of course, the damage is done. the interwebs work, but their phone system doesn't any more. The normal handset doesn't ring any more, and the bells in the workshop, make a rattling noise at best.
My best bet is to replace their handset with a SIP Phone (I have snom 710 myself and they're rather decent and interoperate perfectly with the FritzBox)
However, I have no idea what to do about the workshop ringer. Commercial SIP ringer exists, they just cost 250EUR++, which is, frankly, highway robbery. Ideally, I'd just put decent voltage on the existing wires, when there is an incoming SIP call. Detecting an incoming call could be done with a Raspberry Pi. Up to there, I'm good.
However, that's the thing: I'm not a hardware guy. Yes, I assemble computers and can do small things, but I have no idea how to tackle this. What I understand is that I'd need to control a relay, somehow. GPIO, or USB. I simply don't know and Googling seems to yield stuff from people who know what they're doing. Not very helpful to me.
Alternatively, could get one of those USB gizomos. Put a CAT5 into the workshop, attach RPi to CAT5, attach gizmo to to RPi. Activate upon incoming SIP call. Something like that.
Really, this goes beyond my expertise, so perhaps any of you have better ideas or product recommendations?

Townsend, Tennessee - Fly Fishing in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, East Tennessee and Western North Carolina
Welcome to the Fishing Report. It is foggy and a cool 56 degrees in Townsend this morning. Almost every morning and evening I have been seeing wild turkeys around our house. Today there were eleven. Last night there were two gobblers in the orchard just a few feet from where I drove by. One of them had a very long beard but he was small. It is so cool to see wild turkeys. We never saw any when I was a kid, back when I loved hunting almost as much as I loved fishing.
Little River is painfully low. Flow right now is 38 cubic feet per second (cfs). Median flow for this date is 85 cfs. The water temperature at 7:55 am was 64 degrees.
Fly fishing in the Smokies is not going to be easy. Charlie came by last night just before closing. He had been fishing all day. He said he caught 28 trout and most of them were caught on a Green Weenie dropper. I think he said 20 were caught on the Weenie. He said the fishing was tough because the water was low.
Now, catching 28 trout sounds like a super day of fishing for Charlie. But Charlie is not your average fisherman. One a good day he catches more than that. He knows how to fish small streams when the water is low. He was in the backcountry and the creek he fished was probably shaded. He made short casts and got a good drift. I don't know what dry flies he used and it probably didn't matter. I would guess he used a small yellow Stimulator, a Parachute Adams or an Elk Hair Caddis. Maybe he used a foam beetle. Of course we do know he used a Green Weenie tied on a short piece of tippet material to the hook bend of the dry fly.
So, you know you can catch trout and if you want to improve your low water skills, do what Charlie did. Go to a small stream and enjoy your day. This weather is wonderful.
The tailwaters are fishing pretty well at times. They usually are unless TVA is pouring lots of water through the dams. Fishing for smallmouth bass in the lower stretches of those tailwaters has been good and in some cases excellent.
Fishing on some of the lakes has been better too. Go early and late on a week day. I went to the dentist yesterday. My dentist is John and we are very good friends. He said he has been catching the heck out of fish on a Knucklehead. That is a fly I tie and sell in the store. He said he catches everything on them from bass to bluegill and even carp. I'm getting low on these flies and I better start tying more. We don't sell them on the website or I would never keep up.
A marina on Norris Lake caught fire early yesterday morning. It is estimated that the damage amounted to $1 million to the dock and boats. Firefighters saved a lot of the boats and docks. You can read an article on the KnoxNews website by CLICKING HERE. Thankfully there were no injuries and everything was not lost.
The marina owner thinks the cause could have been either a battery charger or battery. The fire apparently started on a boat.
That disturbs me personally. I have two batteries hooked up to a maintenance charger downstairs in the storage room. I check on them often by feeling the charger and the batteries for excess heat. Maybe I need to build a lockable shed outside for my boating stuff. They make some small buildings you can buy and set up yourself on a concrete pad. That might be a good idea.
Today is September 11. Today is 9/11. Today we will remember a tragedy on American soil carried out by terrorists. We were attacked like we were at Pearl Harbor and Oklahoma City. This is a day of prayer and remembrance. We will never forget how this tragic event changed people's lives. It changed all of our lives. We lost some good Americans and people from other Countries. We found people who led everyday lives suddenly become a hero. That one event caused wars and more Americans died or were injured. Today we will remember.
Have a good day and thank you for being here with us.

Inspections, Compliance, Enforcement, and Criminal Investigations
G.DiLullo & Sons 30-Mar-05
Department of Health and Human Services
Public Health Service
Central Region
March 30, 2005
File # 05-NWJ-12
Mr. Ugo DiLullo
G. DiLullo & Sons
1004 Edgewater Avenue
Westville, NJ 08903
Dear Mr. DiLullo:
On January 26, 27 & February 1, 2005, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) conducted an inspection of your low acid canned food (LACF) manufacturing facility, located at 1004 Edgewater Avenue, Westville, New Jersey. The inspection found that you have a serious deviation from the Seafood HACCP regulation, Title 21, Code of Federal Regulations, Part 123 (21 CFR Part 123). In accordance with 21 CFR 123.6(g), the failure of a processor to have and implement a HACCP plan that complies with this section, or to otherwise operate in accordance with the requirements of Part 123 renders the fishery products adulterated within the meaning of Section 402(a)(4) of the Federal Food Drug & Cosmetic Act (the Act) (21 U.S.C. § 342(a)(4)).
Similarly, a serious deviation from the regulations for thermally processed low acid foods in hermetically sealed containers (21 CFR 108.35 & 21 CFR Part 113) was also found by our investigators, causing your products to be adulterated within the meaning of Section 402(a)(4) of the Act. In addition, a temporary emergency permit (21 U.S.C. 344) may be required for low-acid foods in hermetically sealed containers whenever a processor has failed to fulfill the requirements of 21 CFR Part 108.35, including registration and filing of process information, and the mandatory requirements of 21 CFR Part 113 (21 CFR 108.35(a)).
Accordingly, the deviations noted during the inspection cause your Snapper Turtle Soup and Brown Gravy to be adulterated within the meaning of section 402(a)(4) of the Act, in that it was prepared, packed, or held under insanitary conditions whereby they may have been rendered injurious to health. You can find this Act, the seafood HACCP regulations and the regulations for thermally processed low acid foods in hermetically sealed containers through links in FDA's home page at www.fda.gov.
The deviations found were as follows:
You must conduct, or have conducted for you, a hazard analysis to determine whether there are food safety hazards that are reasonably likely to occur and have a written HACCP plan that, at a minimum, lists the food safety hazards that are reasonably likely to occur, to comply with 21 CFR 123.6(a) and (c)(1). A food safety hazard is defined in 21 CFR 123.3(f) as "any biological, chemical, or physical property that may cause a food to be unsafe for human consumption." However, your firm's HACCP plan for Snapper Turtle Soup does not list the food safety hazard of pathogen growth and toxin formation. In the absence of temperature controls, significant handling of the turtle meat over extended time periods may present a food safety hazard associated with growth and toxin development from pathogenic microorganisms such as Staphylococcus aureus and Bacillus cereus.
Your firm failed to test the mercury-in-glass (MIG) thermometers on your retorts against a known accurate standard thermometer at least annually to ensure their accuracy, as required by 21 CFR 113.40(a)(1).
We may take further action if you do not promptly correct these violations . For instance, we may take further action to seize your product(s) and/or enjoin your firm from operating.
Please respond in writing within fifteen (15) working days from your receipt of this letter. Your response should outline the specific actions you are taking to correct these deviations. You should include in your response documentation such as revised HACCP plan(s), monitoring procedures, calibration records or other useful information that would assist us in evaluating your corrections. If you cannot complete all corrections before you respond, we expect that you will explain the reason for the delay and state when you will correct any remaining deviations.
This letter may not list all deviations at your facility. You are responsible for ensuring that your facility operates in compliance with the Act, the seafood HACCP regulations (21 CFR Part 123), the regulations for thermally processed low acid foods in hermetically sealed containers (21 CFR 108.35 & 21 CFR Part 113) and the Current Good Manufacturing Practice regulations (21 CFR Part 110). You also have a responsibility to use procedures to prevent further violations of the Act and all applicable regulations.
In addition to the Seafood HACCP violations discussed above, the FDA investigator(s) noted that the ingredient statement for your Snapper Turtle Soup did not accurately reflect the actual ingredients in the soup and that the ingredients were not listed in the order of predominance in the product, as required by Section 403(i) of the Act (21 U.S.C. § 343(i)). For example, the ingredient statement listed margarine, which is not in the product formulation, and did not list soybean oil and tomato sauce, which are in the product formulation. Additionally, the label did not identify the sub-ingredients of multi-ingredient components. We acknowledge that you were in the process of ordering new labels during the inspection.
However, we need to point out that, in addition to being legally required, accurate ingredient statements are important because FDA has received increasing numbers of reports concerning consumers who have experienced adverse reactions following exposure to allergenic substances in food. For sensitive individuals, the presence of allergens in food is potentially life threatening. Ingredients that are among the most commonly known to cause a serious allergic response are milk, eggs, fish, crustaceans, tree nuts, wheat, peanuts, soybeans and derivatives of these products.
Lastly, we have determined that your facility is subject to the registration requirement in § 415 of the Act and our implementing regulation at 21 CFR Part 1, Subpart H. During our inspection of your facility you were advised of this requirement. The failure to register a facility as required is a prohibited act under § 301 of the Act. Our records indicate that, to date, this facility has not been registered with FDA.
As a responsible official of a facility that manufactures/processes, packs, or holds food for human or animal consumption in the United States, you are responsible for ensuring that your overall operation and the products you distribute are in compliance with the law.
We request that the owner, operator, or agent in charge of this facility, or an individual authorized by this facility's owner, operator, or agent in charge, register the facility with FDA within 30 working days of the date of this letter. Registration may be accomplished on-line at http://www.access.fda.gov. We strongly encourage the use of electronic registration because it will result in an automatic confirmation of registration and automatic issuance of a registration number.
Alternatively, the owner, operator, or agent in charge of this facility, or an individual authorized by the facility's owner, operator, or agent in charge, may register the facility by mail or fax (e.g., if you do not have reasonable access to the Internet) using FDA's food facility registration form, Form 3537. This form may be obtained by calling the FDA Industry Systems Help Desk at 1-800-216-7331 or 301-575-0156, or by writing to the agency at the following address:
U.S. Food and Drug Administration, HFS-681
5600 Fishers Lane
Rockville, MD 20857
When completed, the form may be faxed to (301) 210-0247 or mailed to the address above. FDA will process registrations submitted by mail or fax and provide a facility's registration number using the same method used to submit the registration to FDA.
Your response to this letter should be directed to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, Attention: Richard D. Manney, Compliance Officer at the address and telephone number listed above.
