Fines related to Ford City water problems are doubled
Ford City is in deeper debt from its water woes than previously believed.
Daily fines — levied because the borough missed Department of Environmental Protection deadlines for providing solutions to its water problems — have doubled from $250 to $500 since March 4, said John Poister, community relations coordinator for the DEP southeast regional office.
"Ford City is actually in deeper trouble than we thought," Poister wrote in an email on Friday.
As of Friday, the town has amassed $16,000 in daily fines and other penalties imposed by the DEP. The borough is required to apply for a water discharge permit and provide a solution for replacing its aging water plant — two things it has failed to do — before the fines will stop.
Problems with the plant on Neale Avenue include that it releases untreated backwash containing dirt and other sediments into the Allegheny River and does not have a DEP permit authorizing the practice.
The options the borough has for solving the problem are to build a plant or contract with the private company Pennsylvania-American Water for services.
The Ford City Borough Council will have a town hall meeting at 6 p.m. Monday to discuss which of those options it will choose. Representatives from Pennsylvania-American Water will be at the meeting at the Slovak Club, 910 Sixth Ave.
Until the borough reaches a decision on which option it will choose, it cannot file for the discharge permit and the daily fines will continue to mount.
"We need to make a decision so we can all move forward," borough engineer Jim Garvin said. "The $16,000 is a terrible amount, but hopefully we can work with DEP to get it reduced."
Garvin has paid DEP $7,250 of his own money for fines against the borough for failing to meet deadlines for filing a feasibility plan and for failing to make a written request for proposals to Manor Township and Pennsylvania-American for water service.
At one time, contracting with Manor for service or renovating its 90-year-old water plant were options being considered by the borough. Neither of those options is considered feasible anymore — a fact that surprised Councilman Jerry Miklos when he learned that building a plant or contracting with Pennsylvania-American are the only choices left on the table for discussion.
"It was news to us," he said, adding that Council did not know until recently that the daily fines had doubled. "It's not good."

Jerusalem police clashed with hundreds of Muslim youth Friday after they left prayers atop the Temple Mount in the direction of the Damascus Gate. Police said the rioters were on their way to the US consulate, presumably to protest against a film denigrating the Prophet Mohammad, which has already sparked mass protests in Libya, Egypt and Yemen.
The youths threw stones at the police officers, who responded by firing stun grenades to disperse the protest. A number of officers were lightly injured from smoke inhalation. Forces arrested four of the rioters.
Police were prepared for the possibility of riots in Jerusalem, as Border Police and other patrol units fanned out across the Old City ahead of traditional Friday prayers.
Despite an awareness of potential violence, police did not announced restricted access to the Temple Mount. Often if serious rioting is anticipated only men over age 40 are allowed to enter.
In a rare move, the US State Department on Thursday issued a travel warning for Jerusalem, urging American citizens to "defer nonessential travel and exercise caution."

The Singapore Health Sciences Authority (HSA) passed the Health Products Act in February 2007 to improve the regulatory control of medical devices in Singapore. This was a fundamental change in the regulation of medical devices. Previously, medical device regulations were relatively lax in Singapore.
To minimize disruption to supply and to ease transition into the new regulations, the Health Products Act was implemented in phases throughout the past few years. As of January 1, 2012, all phases of the Act have been executed.
The Health Products Act requires all medical devices Class A-D to be registered with HSA prior to being placed on the Singapore market. Also, all manufacturers, importers, and wholesalers of medical devices are required to have government licensing (dealer's licenses) before doing business in Singapore.
Now that the new medical device regulations in the Act are put into practice, the Singapore HSA may continue to amend the regulations according to industry feedback. Medical device companies are advised to check regularly for new medical device updates in Singapore that may affect the regulation of their products and their legal compliance.
Ames Gross, president and founder of Pacific Bridge Medical (PBM), is recognized nationally and internationally as a leader in the Asian medical markets. In 2008, MD&DI (Medical Device & Diagnostic Industry) magazine named Gross one of the top 100 executives in the medical business. Gross founded PBM in 1988 and has helped hundreds of medical companies with business development and regulatory issues in Asia. Gross holds a BA, Phi Beta Kappa, from the University of Pennsylvania and an MBA from Columbia University.

Apollo-Ridge rolls past Wilkinsburg, 56-36
It was a special day for Apollo-Ridge's special teams.
The kick coverage crew set up three first-half touchdowns as the Vikings (1-1, 1-1) rolled past Wilkinsburg (1-1, 1-1), 56-36, in Eastern Conference play Saturday at Graham Field.
Apollo-Ridge has an 8-0 lead in the all-time series against Wilkinsburg. The 56 points broke the school record of 55, set in 2005 against Leechburg.
With less than four minutes gone in the game, an effective rush hurried Tigers punter Robert Higginbotham, whose shanked kick gave Apollo-Ridge the ball at the Wilkinsburg 25.
Five plays later, freshman Duane Brown scored the first of eight Vikings touchdowns on a 6-yard run.
On the ensuing kickoff, Ben Gembella recovered a fumble on the Tigers' 40.
On the drive's fifth play, Tre' Tipton caught a 12-yard pass from Jesse Zelonka for a touchdown.
Late in the second period, senior Dom Schrecengost got his hand on another Wilkinsburg punt, setting up another short drive at the Tigers' 18.
On the following play, Zelonka found Alex Smith for another touchdown to put Apollo-Ridge in front, 27-0, with 3:24 to go in the half.
"We spend quite a bit of time on special teams," Vikings coach John Skiba said. "We do it at the start of every practice, and we had a little bit more time this week with the extra day."
Skiba said Apollo-Ridge didn't have a special teams coach, but the Vikings use a collaborative effort by the coaching staff.
On the first play from scrimmage following the Apollo-Ridge kickoff, Brown picked off a Ryan Cox pass at the Wilkinsburg 49 and scampered into the end zone to make it 34-0.Marcus Williams bobbled the ensuing kickoff but held on. The recovery paid off — Wilkinsburg scored on the first of two 30-yard scoring connections from Cox to Higginbotham.
A 36-yard run by Jonah Casella on the first play from scrimmage in the third quarter led to his 1-yard burst three plays later to make it 41-8.
Skiba then inserted the second stringers, and Wilkinsburg scored three touchdowns in its next four possessions to trail, 48-30, with 2:12 left in the game.
"I told our guys we can't have that kind of drop-off when we put our '2s' in," Skiba said. "They can't take their guys out, but I was very happy how we played in the first half. We bounced back and did the things we were supposed to do."
Sophomore Gareth Dilick concluded Apollo-Ridge's scoring with a 62-yard run.
A 61-yard run by Williams brought the Tigers to within 20 points, but a series of mistakes by the Tigers and just 17 players in uniforms led to a somber coach Mike Fulmore after the game.
"I'm very disappointed; we work really hard to come out and compete," Fulmore said. "But our numbers really hurt us today. We'll be better next week."
Casella led the Vikings with 115 rushing yards in seven carries. Zelonka passed for 129 yards.
Apollo-Ridge's home opener Friday against nonconference opponent Western Beaver will begin the 95th football season at Owens Field.

Men's soccer falls at St. Ambrose
|Freshman Jakob Rettke tallied the lone goal for the Vikings in a 2-1 loss at St. Ambrose on Wednesday, September 26 in Davenport, Iowa.
DAVENPORT, Iowa - In the annual battle of Quad City colleges, St. Ambrose defeated Augustana by a score of 2-1 in men's soccer on Wednesday, September 26 at the Davenport Soccer Complex in Davenport, Iowa. It was the first win in this series for the Fighting Bees since 2001.
In a game where the Vikings held the edge in both shots (13-11) and shots-on-goal (8-7), St. Ambrose prevailed by scoring goals in early portion of each half. Charlie MacInnes of the Bees scored on a penalty kick less than 13 minutes (12:32) into the contest to make it 1-0.
Augustana freshman Jakob Rettke (Columbia-Rock Bridge HS, Columbia, Mo.) evened the contest at 30:37 with an unassisted goal, his team-leading third of the season.
MacInnes scored in the first six minutes of the second half (50:28) to give the hosts a 2-1 lead and that proved to be the final.
Rettke and senior Jason Beckus (Neuqua Valley HS, Naperville, Ill.) led the Vikings in shots attempted with three apiece while sophomore Chandler Brooks (University HS, Bloomington, Ill.) and freshman Cole Collins (Lisle HS, Lisle, Ill.) had two each.
Junior goalkeeper Tyler Cowherd (Bettendorf HS, Bettendorf, Ill.) was in goal for all 90 minutes and recorded five saves.
Augustana is now 3-5-1 overall while St. Ambrose moved to 7-2 with the win. The Vikings will open College Conference of Illinois & Wisconsin action on Saturday, September 29 in Decatur, Illinois with a 2:30 p.m. match against Millikin.

Here's My Woodcarving!
by Elizabeth Anderson
Concord, Illinois
My husband Ed and I have lived and worked on the family farm for over 35 years. My creations originate from the resources of the farm, and include one-of-a-kind woodcarvings, prairie grass weavings and many unique artworks.
My most recent woodcarving is that of a mammoth. For a woodcarving, it is indeed mammoth in size (20" tall x 30" long x 12" wide) and was created from 15 walnut pieces from a fallen log. The tusks are made from deer antlers. The antlers determined the carving dimensions, and I did research in order to make the mammoth's shape anatomically accurate.
I'm currently working on a life-size chicken.

Mr. Matthews denies, as we saw, what Mr. Fison asserts, as to the Kamilaroi.
One of the Wonghi or of the Wiraidjuri or Kamilaroi tribe is "proud of the title."
In its external features, therefore, it is perfect and complete among the Kamilaroi.
This was the case among the Wotjoballuk, the Kamilaroi, and the Euahlayi.
Neither the phratry nor the gens of the Kamilaroi forms a distinct territorial community.
Apparently, among the Kamilaroi, members of the same phratry may intermarry, avoiding unions in their own totems.
This tribe reckons in the female line, has phratries, and uses the class names (four), but not the phratry names of the Kamilaroi.
On this showing brothers married paternal half-sisters (Kamilaroi and Kurnai, p. 33).
This is shown by the Kamilaroi organisation, where "a woman is married to a thousand miles of husbands."
The Kamilaroi practice of interphratry marriage arises out of respect for totem and neglect of phratry law.

Fun for the family that cooks together By Judy Belanger
If the young cooks in your family have moved on from the Easy Bake Ovens and are ready for bigger and better food preparations, here are some cook books to help with the transition. And since we're now in the hottest part of the summer, why not start with some refreshing desserts? Children might find they like the idea of helping around the kitchen and then you can introduce them to some main dishes. Any budding chefs out there?
BATTER UP KIDS: DELICIOUS DESSERTS, by Barbara Beery, photography by Marty Snortum, Gibbs Smith, $19.95; ages 9-12.
This kid-friendly cook book comes complete with wipe-off pages and a chef's hat. The first page of the book emphasizes the get-ready steps for cooking: cleaning the work area, gathering the necessary ingredients and the necessary utensils.
The book cautions children to read through the entire recipe before starting. That way, they can be sure to understand it, or have time to ask an adult for help before they begin. Beery also includes a few important rules, which she calls the Safety Patrol, for using the stove and microwave correctly.
Then come the 25 tempting desserts. One is as simple as dipping pretzels into chocolate and adding a few sprinkles to make dragonflies. Or on a hot afternoon create your own mud pies using ice cream and Oreo cookies. "Cookie in a skillet"-just like the oversized treats at the shopping mall-lets you make your own 16-inch cookie. Some recipes use cake mixes and pastry dough, which makes them easier for beginners.
The colorful pages include a picture of the final product as well as an easy-to-understand display of all the necessary ingredients. Most of the recipes use ingredients that most of us would normally have in the house; but it is best to plan ahead because not all kitchens keep items like meringue powder on hand.
EMERIL'S THERE'S A CHEF IN MY FAMILY!, by Emeril Lagasse, illustrated by Charles Yuen, photographs by Quentin Bacon, HarperCollins, $22.99; ages 9-12.
What fun the whole family can have choosing which of 76 recipes to try first. The first few pages are especially helpful for beginning chefs. Lagasse says cooking is not only fun and rewarding but also educational. Food preparation involves math, reading, following directions, using tools and working as part of a team. Also helpful are the pictures of the most-often-used tools in cooking as well as definitions of many terms one needs to know to perform such tasks as zesting, blanching and getting stiff peaks.
The first section emphasizes safety in the kitchen, which makes it well worth the time for parent and child to read together. Adult supervision is always recommended, especially when knives, stove-top burners or oven are used. There are sections for the various meals of the day as well as snacks and desserts. Each recipe includes a list of ingredients and the tools needed to put the dish together. The step-by-step directions are complete and easy to follow.
Want to try your hand at bagel making? It's not as hard as you might think. There are some specific references to Lagasse's commercial spices, but other brands may be substituted. His TV show will also be promoting families cooking together and he will do a week of shows titled "Cook With Your Kids" in October. More recipes are available on his Web site, www.emerils.com.
FAMILYFUN SUPER SNACKS and FAMILYFUN FAST FAMILY DINNERS, from Deanna Cook and The Experts At FamilyFun Magazine, Disney Editions, $14.95 each; ages 9 and up.
The super snacks book contains 125 recipes. They're not all snacks, some are variations on fun sandwiches kids can make. The idea behind this book is healthy eating. One chapter contains ways to have fun using fruits and vegetables, such as arranging them to make flowers before you eat them.
After school-when most children are ready for snacks-is a good time to mix up a batch of crunch or make pretzels together. Or make a zooful of bagel critters using sliced bagels, cream cheese and toppings formed to make faces. Or let the kids put together cookie ice-cream cups or an ice-cream pizza dessert for the family dinner.
And this book understands busy families. Each of the 100 meals requires less than 30 minutes preparation time, although cooking times can add anywhere from another five minutes to five hours (for a slow-cooking stew). The book is divided into four sections: soups and salads, main dishes, side dishes and dessert. Quick tips for added touches, such as sauces, dips and even directions for making a potato volcano, are added along the sides of each page.
Have you ever made ice-cream in a bag? This is a fun idea for a birthday party. Be sure to have the toppings ready for when they are finished shaking their own dessert.
Each recipe contains information on how much time it will take to prepare, cook and chill as well as which steps the kids are likely to need help with. Sit down with the family and plan the shopping list for the following week. With their input, you should be able to eliminate those "I don't know's" when you ask for dinner suggestions. What would your gang say about spaghetti pie? Sometimes the usual prepared differently makes all the difference. Both books contain an index which will help you easily find those favorite recipes again.
Let us plan your weekend with the best family events and activities in Chicagoland.
Start the week right with deals, prizes, parent life hacks and more delivered straight to your inbox.

For their eighth and final exhibition game, the Jets sat out the forward line of Patrice Cormier, Matt Halischuk and Anthony Peluso, who played together Thursday night at home. Also on the sidelines for the game were defencemen Grant Clitsome and Zach Bogosian.
❯❯ Cuts by Monday:
Carrying 26 players into their weekend retreat in Banff, Alta., before their Tuesday season-opener in Edmonton, the Jets will have to make three roster reductions by Monday's deadline. Each club is permitted a maximum of 23 players to start the season. If the team is going to stick to just seven defencemen, as coach Claude Noel hinted earlier in the week, then two blueliners must go, along with one forward.
"It's going to be interesting to see where all this goes because I'm pretty unhappy with quite a few players," said Jets coach Claude Noel. "I don't think there was a lot to be happy about."

The Mary Hotel's sign is the first visible hotel upon walking out of the train station. We were on our way out of the Cinque Terre and had tickets from La Spezia --> Rome the next morning at the crack of dawn. We decided to stay in La Spezia for the sole purpose of staying the night near to the terminal. My boyfriend and I checked in early in the morning (8 AM) but since it was not yet check-in time, we were asked to leave our bags in a very public room while we explored Pisa/Lucca for the day. I wasn't comfortable with it, but there wasn't anything valuable so we hid them behind a TV. There were other bags in there too.
The staff spoke some broken English, confirmed that we had a non-smoking room, and wrote our names down after charging our card. When we returned about 13 hours later, our bags were intact, and we went up the tiny elevator (standard for Europe, I think). Our room was basic yet clean. We had a strong WiFi signal, a hot shower, and a comfortably firm bed. The A/C worked well but the curtains let a significant amount of light in.
I think we were overcharged based on the amenities, but this was made up for in the location/convenience to La Spezia's terminal. A few people talked about the safety of the street, but I considered it a non-issue since this is off a main street directly in front of the train. I felt safe returning at 9 PM that evening.
The breakfast was simple but pretty comprehensive (toast, cereal, fruits, SOYMILK, nutella spreads, etc). Our checkout was simple (hand them the key). Overall, the experience was no more or less than average.
- Official Description (provided by the hotel):
- Situated next to La Spezia Central Train Station, the family-run Hotel Mary offers easy access to the city's attractions and surrounding areas. It comes with comfortable rooms and free Wi-Fi. Rooms are comfortable and fully-equipped, ideal to unwind after an active day. They come with air conditioning, a private bathroom with shower, and TV. The breakfast buffet is served every morning in the breakfast room. This morning treat includes hot and cold drinks, homemade yogurt, and cakes. Hotel Mary also offers a 24-hour reception, where you can get information on the major tourist attractions. Guests can take trip boats to the Cinque Terre villages at the harbour located a 20-minute walk away. ... more less

Mr Miller made the pledge at a Westminster event held by children's palliative care charity Together for Short Lives, which took place during Children's Hospice week.
After meeting with Anna Gill OBE - a parent carer of a young person with a life-limiting condition – and representatives from Together for Short Lives, the charity behind Children's Hospice Week, Mr Miller said: "Providers of children's palliative care offer a vital lifeline to families, yet commissioning of services, particularly from the voluntary sector, is patchy and inconsistent.
"Well contracted and co-ordinated palliative care helps families make to the most of their time together and enables services to develop to meet their needs.
"It is essential that health and social care services work together to ensure that services – including those offered by the wonderful Claire House in Bebington - are joined up and funded fairly and sustainably by the NHS and local authorities to ensure that the excellent care they provide can continue."

Duplicate/Redundant addresses displayed under "Ship To Address" dropdown in Change Fulfillment Options screen in create order flow
Technote (FAQ)
Consumer (customerType=02) is created with no address data. This consumer is used to create order in COM. COM asks user to add address. User adds the address, moves to add item screen and then to Change Fulfillment Options screen. On this screen user sees duplicate/redundant address displayed under "Ship To Address" dropdown.
Why does COM show duplicate addresses?
On 'Add Item' screen when user adds an address, COM calls manageCustomer API and createOrder API. Both these APIs create two different records in yfs_person_info table.
createOrder API creates record in yfs_person_info table with address entered by user on customer identification screen
manageCustomer API creates record in yfs_person_info table with address entered by user on customer identification screen and other data present on customer like email id, title, first name, last name, etc.
On Change Fulfillment Options screen, in "Ship To Address" dropdown. COM shows only few attributes like AddressLine1, AddressLine2, City, ZipCode and Country.
Both, Address created by createOrder API and and that by manageCustomer API, have same AddressLine1, AddressLine2, City, ZipCode and Country. Hence, both the addresses which appears on screen look like duplicates as the visible attributes are the same.

And as George navigated countless scrapes and shenanigans, generations learned gentle lessons about life right alongside him. This lighthearted "how-to" guide pairs iconic illustrations of the little monkey with words of wisdom - for example, a sweet picture of George curled up sleeping with a baby elephant is captioned "If there's an elephant in the room, address it," while George paints a jungle scene alongside the words "Create the world you want to inhabit."

Has there ever been a creditable female character in any of his books?
Not many would disagree that Clapper has done a creditable job at ODNI.
Smith did a creditable job narrating Pershing's (unsuccessful) 1916 expedition in pursuit of Pancho Villa.
Discredited voices get just as much love from the First Amendment as creditable ones, so the Cheneys can say whatever they want.
Altogether his self-command was creditable to Janet's tuition.
Nor was it possible to assign any creditable reason for this change.
By circling low he succeeded in locating the placid surface of the lake and in making a creditable landing.
That was a creditable and not unnatural impulse, and I did not check it.
He can begin very mildly, and yet in a month reach quite a creditable degree of activity, and then keep that up.
But the conduct of the native cavalry regiments was the reverse of creditable.

Government plans to speed up the adoption process for looked-after children in England have been broadly welcomed by social workers and their managers. But the key recommendation – to halve the time it takes to place a child with an adoptive family from the average 12 months – will have workforce implications.
Elaine Dibben is an adoption consultant for the British Association for Adoption and Fostering and was a member of the expert working group which helped inform the government's Action Plan for Adoption published in March. She identifies two potential pressure points. The reforms, described as "radical", will put more pressure on children and family social workers who will be expected to get children through care and placement proceedings more quickly, but it will also require more from social workers in adoption services who will be expected to find additional adoptive families as children come through the system more quickly. "I think because there are not additional resources," she says, "the action plan is going to be challenging, but I think nobody is disagreeing with the principles behind it."
Becky James (not her real name) has been a social worker in a local council adoption service for two years, joining the profession after giving up a career in teaching. She spent the first 18 months working in child protection which, she says, gave her a solid grounding for her present role. "Most children we are family finding for have come through the child protection route," she says. "It was hard work, with a steep learning curve, but a really good start for my current role in adoption."
James' regular caseload involves assessing three prospective adoptive families, supporting around nine families who are going through the process of adoption as well as trying to find suitable families willing to adopt. She also has up to 15 children with placement orders who are seeking an adoptive family. On top of her case load, she spends time running information sessions for prospective adopters as well as support and training sessions for approved adopters.
If the government is keen to shorten the time it takes to place a child with an adoptive family, she believes more social workers need to be employed to find adoptive families. She says: "I think what would help me would be if we could have more resources, that is employ more social workers, so that we can do more assessments of prospective adopters. That would create a bigger pool of prospective adopters."
James says: "Although that wouldn't solve the problem completely because some children would be hard to place, no matter how many adoptive families we had. There are still more children than adoptive families – especially for those children who are older or who have more complex needs."
While there is no extra money to implement the government's action plan, Elaine Dibben at the British Association for Adoption and Fostering believes its recommendations can be met if local authorities and voluntary sector adoption agencies work more collaboratively.
"Teams and agencies will need to look at their existing resources to see how they can organise them differently or rethink their priorities in terms of how they respond to people and how they work together," she says. Some consortiums already share prospective adoptive families and provide placements "across boundaries". Dibben adds: "But can they work even better in terms of offering joint information sessions and training opportunities?"
Joanna Waterhouse is head of family placement services for Manchester city council. Last year in Manchester, 55 children were adopted and there are currently 37 children placed for adoption. Waterhouse agrees with Dibben that the action plan will have an impact on social workers responsible for care and placement court proceedings and those in adoption services who have responsibility for finding adoptive parents. She says: "I think it means that we will be family finding at a far earlier stage than we do now. But the action plan is a positive – it focuses on adoption, and bringing earlier identification of families for children has to be a positive thing for children who are the focus for us."

Lindsay Lohan's Doing Everything But Her Community Service? That Can't Be Right
Feigned shock aside, apparently Lindsay Lohan has a "team of advisers" telling her to do responsible things despite the fact she spent the past week hurling drinks at Fashion Week whenever she wasn't snorting coke off hotelier's dicks to get into parties. Also, she's allowed within 50 yards of Dina, so this "team" never stood a chance. Anyway, their latest mission is to get Lindsay to focus on her community service which she's completed next to nothing of and already plans to continuing blowing off with a trip to Milan. RadarOnline reports:
Lindsay's next court date, which she was previously ordered to attend, is on October 17, 2011 for a progress report hearing. Los Angeles Judge Stephanie Sautner ordered Lindsay to 380 hours of community service at the Downtown Women's Center, and 100 hours at the Los Angeles County Morgue.
"Lindsay has completed about 60 hours at the Downtown Women's Center. Lindsay hasn't done any time at the morgue," a source close to the situation tells RadarOnline.com. "Lindsay has completed her shoplifters awareness class but is falling behind on her other commitments.
"Lindsay's team is telling her she needs to log significant time to show the judge that she is working towards completing her hours, but she is ignoring them. Lindsay's rationale is that she has a year to complete the service, so she isn't concerned about it right now."
Let me guess how this will go down, and then next month we can look back and see how incredible my psychic powers are. (Side note: Is this your number?)
1. Lindsay won't log a single hour of community service between now and her next hearing.
2. The judge will verbally chastise for not taking her community service seriously and then say something about this being her last chance which it won't be and the process will repeat no less than 27 times.
3. Lindsay will suddenly remember there's a baby still stuck in her tires.
4. Everyone laughs.
5. The bailiff lets her hold his gun.
6. Laughter again.
It's like gazing into a crystal ball, I know. I'm very powerful.

Review Roundup: CARNAGE Film
Xan Brooks, The Guardian: The acting comes at full throttle while the pacing cranks up the tension in agonising, incremental degrees. At one point this is all too much for Nancy, who proceeds to vomit copiously over the coffee table, coating Penelope's cherished Oskar Kokoschka book. It is an astonishing scene, an icebreaker like no other. And at the Venice screening, the viewers greeted it with a wild abandon, howling with delight and applauding like thunder, perhaps relieved that someone had cracked before they did themselves.
David Gritten, The Telegraph: Initially polite, their meeting lapses into prejudiced attacks and furious rows. There's vomiting and drunkenness - a vase of tulips, a mobile phone and glossy art books are among the casualties. Waltz, as the rudest man in the room, gets the best lines. It's well-acted and giddily enjoyable, if slightly less so once the characters start to analyse their descent into barbarism.
Lee Marshall, Evening Standard: Little attempt is made to disguise the fact that this is the film of a play. And the dramatic gears grind a little during certain shifts of allegiance along couple and gender lines. But making the audience feel claustrophobic is central to Carnage's method: we're penned in, unable to leave this airless apartment with its collection of liberal gewgaws from component hi-fi to African totems to real logs (presumably never used) stacked by the marble fireplace.
Oliver Lyttelton, Indiewire: It's been a while since Polanski's done an out-and-out comedy (unless you count Pierce Brosnan's performance in "The Ghost Writer"-oh, snap!), and the good news is that "Carnage" is very, very funny. The play brought down houses around the world, and the director and his cast hit every beat with expert timing; there are moments here that rival anything we've seen in recent years for hilarity. There's often a darkly funny undertone to Polanski's work, but this reinforces that he's got a real knack for comedy, for perhaps the first time since "Fearless Vampire Killers," and we hope he doesn't neglect that particular muscle from here on out.

There isn't a day that goes by where I stumble into some random blog post, comment, remark, argument that involves JavaScript lately. It's as if the entire quagmire of its existence is trying to ambush me with wave after wave of interpretation of why it's important… i'm under JavaScript siege and now it's time to go all Die Hard on it.
Here's my notes
* Plugins were evil, JavaScript is the web's future.
Plugins made a strong point to the interwebs, it said loudly "Hey browser's stop trying to hijack developers to your greedy needs and if you want to sit around waiting for a committee to make a decision, fine, but me.. i'm going to give that guy over there HD porn…"
Fact is products like Java, Flash and Silverlight (the "evil three") were the service pack the web needed, it needed to prove the point that developers aren't getting their fill of API / multimedia needs with the slow latency filled migration patterns we (sadly) still have today. It wasn't until Silverlight and Flash punched each other to death and in turn created this competitive annoyance in the market both externally & internally – that is – internally inside Microsoft it reminded the Windows team that "plugins" could very well hijack the beloved desktop SDK's if their pace is left unchecked (cannibalizing Windows potential offerings). Externally it also reminded the web that browsers haven't being doing their jobs, the fact that these two brands duke it out so publicly was the fresh reminder "oh by the way browser, what the hell are you actually doing!".
Google was the disruptor in that equation as well, Firefox made a good run at trying to keep rising with the demand tide but it wasn't until Google got its hands in the mix that we started to see a change. Not only did they push the JavaScript angle loudly than any other company but they also baited Microsoft IE Team constantly to meet their needs, it was actually a beautiful thing to see how they worked that team like a puppet via the whole "You need to focus on fixing JavaScript runtime perf levels".
So plugins are evil? without them you'd probably be still hacking away at some crappy codec or trying to find more hacks to get around memory issues in browser(s) – or worse – writing Java Applets (probably extreme).
* JavaScript is different than it was, its awesome!
Yeah, i'm calling bullshit. Majority of the frameworks today exist to abstract you from focusing on writing actual JavaScript because whatever reason. When you have a JavaScript framework as being the excuse as to why a language should be considered then that's probably your first clue we're dealing with a dumb ass response to a problem that needs attention.
Some might argue "well that's the power of JavaScript, you can write frameworks to solve problems" which to me rides along the same logic as how painters in the old days use to make their own oil paints in order to paint… today you squeeze it out of a tube and you're now focused on painting less about sourcing various ingredients to make "red". Abstraction is fine if you are looking to allow a developer to feed instructions into a compiler that then gets distilled into another language (cross compile etc). I simply raise the bullshit flag when that same concept isn't applied at the compiler but is instead this extra memory footprint at the actual runtime instance itself. As now you're just putting extra layers of ductape over the corpse that which is JavaScript in order to hide its inherit stink.
* Yeah but JavaScript is what we have today, so we should just deal with it
* Stop using JavaScript isn't an option, we just have to wait and see what's next
Which brings me to my next train of thought – what the fuck is taking so long with ECMA6 or whatever its replacement. At what point do we declare fail on these "committees" and rally behind the idea that this shit has to stop taking so stupidly long (are they meeting every 2 years? are they even still alive…are the 90 and need time to watch Matlock before energising the base around their decisions???). TypeScript for me is "fine, lets just get on with it" or I'm open to anything that hints at being not freaking JavaScript.. i'll write python in the client if I have to, but get this stuff sorted out and stop wading it down by this agonising death by democracy attitude. Break the web, its broken anyway at least this will be the event that freaks everyone out long enough to come up with a better idea than what we have today.
I refuse to believe that the entire planets best idea of the day is "JavaScript" (aka ECMA3). If that's the case then the various education systems are teaching the wrong classes.
I have been doing this thing you kids call today "web development" since 1995, I've watched the entire internet move at an agnosing slow pace. I got hands on with VRML and watched that crash dive, I got hands on with Adobe Flash which then lead me to Adobe Flex and then later I as most know got hands on in Silverlight/WPF. I keep chasing the idea or potential that we as a human race have, in that we know that multimedia is a medium that can convey so much importance at a pace that's exciting – when the technology platform allows it.
Today, by keeping JavaScript as being the "best" of the entire plugin wars as a solution, you have to be an absolute idiot if you believe that's a step forward. It's steps backwards not just small steps, but large steps.. steps that will take us another 3-5 years to recover from again. Look at the historical patterns around Prescriptive vs Descriptive design languages…
JavaScript is the digital age's version of herpes, every time you think its gone a new outbreak occurs – DHTML, AJAX, "HTML5"

When the dust settles, I want to know what Capcom plans to do with the series. Where is my press release?
RoxasANobody posted...
Just to be clear, I was stating why I didn't like the game. I do not speak for anyone else but myself.
The way I see it, the old DMC was nothing to write home about when it comes to the story or dialogue. It had cheesy moments but they worked for what the game was trying to accomplish. Here we have Tameem coming out saying his game will rival the best in theatre and movies and break the myth that stories can't be good in video games but at the end we get this? Really? Also for a big bad evil demon, I think trying to control the world through debt and soda is lame, worse than any other DMC previously.
The difficulty thing: this game on harder difficulties is still easy, especially when compared to the previous games in the series. I was never a pro DMC player don't get me wrong, but I enjoy challenge and I love harder games. When people don't get challenged things become boring (yet CoD is doing well still, mind boggling.)
Music: Totally opinion I agree. I'm not a fan of dubstep, and I didn't find it fitting in this series but that's for me to judge right? I'm not judging if everyone likes dubstep, don't care if they do, doesn't affect me. For me it wasn't the right choice.
Either way, it is what it is. Glad we could agree on some things. =P

I hate COD as much as the next guy but I gotta admit they give their audience exactly what they want. It makes sense, make things people will like and they will buy it. Im not a business genius.
I like that DmC flopped because for the longest time now the people that have supported the franchise for YEARS have been ignored, as if we will buy it regardless. Well too bad, you must try harder

I can see that you're very level headed when it comes to your response, thankfully. I wish I could get these responses more often. I try to give everyone that same respect right off the back, but then they retort with some common insult.
I was actually agreeing with you on the difficulty. It's unbelievably easy even when you get to DMD. The only "difficult" thing about it is that they spawn a bunch of annoying enemies together whereas in previous iterations they would make standard enemies become more difficult. I guess they did do the same thing (?) but because you were in the air for 70% of this game, you never really had to fear anything.
As far as music goes, we're also at an agreement there. It's great that you liked the music in the older series and/or that you disliked the newer one. I'm definitely not going to go on a rant about how "Everyone should just like the game and like dubstep, UGH." Again, I have no right to tell anyone that they should enjoy it or they should not.
You mean to say that there was some common ground between our opinions and instead of bickering and nitpicking, we were able to get to a conclusion like civilized human beings? Preposterous, I must now make a joke about your mother or about how you live in a basement or how you get no girls/guys, etc.

The nation's finest football conference welcomes two new schools in 2012. With the addition of Florida State and Clemson, the SEC opens its arms to two programs that might as well have been in the SEC from day one.
A major perk of SEC Banter is the crystal ball that predicts the fate of Southeastern Conference teams. You'd be amazed at its accuracy. With SEC football just around the corner, let's stare into the crystal ball and learn how the teams from the SEC Western Division - home of college football's national champions in four of the past five years - will fare this year.
If you've watched the Olympics over the past few weeks, no doubt you've been inspired by the world's elite athletes laying it all on the line not just for Olympic glory, but for national pride and a permanent place in their country's sporting history. Packed stadiums, an international stage, and competition at the world's highest level.
We love football. Everything about it.
You know how when somebody prefaces a statement with "some of my best friends are fill-in-the-blank" what follows is almost certainly offensive to those fill-in-the-blankers?
Dear Rest of the World's College Football Fans:
The spring season for high school sports has come and gone, as has my first full year of preps coverage at The Times.
In high school athletics, nothing hurts quite as much as coming one win short of a state championship.
I stood in the infield at the Georgia Olympics on Friday afternoon in Jefferson, watching closely as North Hall's Luis Gonzalez put forth an incredible final effort to surge ahead for an individual state championship in the 3200 meter run.
At the beginning of every season, every player, coach and fan has a goal they'd like to see their team achieve.
If Gainesville doesn't have room in its trophy case, a larger space might be more appropriate.
There are few better times in sports than the period immediately preceding the end of the season.
ATHENS - It was just a spring game.
I'm sure there are a number of varying reactions to the new power ratings system being implemented in Class A in the coming year.

The best of the Boultings' warm, vulgar, affectionate satires. The travails of silly-ass hero Carmichael are only mildly amusing, but the film blazes into life with the arrival of Sellers' Stalinist Don Quixote, tilting with alarming predictability at the windmills constructed by his class enemies. The Red Robbos of this world may be an unfairly easy target, but Sellers' caricature is affectionate, not malicious. Accusations of union-bashing are misplaced. The workers may all be dumb clods who sleep with their vests on, but there's a grudging appreciation of their truculent cynicism, and Attenborough's horrid little entrepreneur discovers that in making them the dupes of his capitalist crookery he brings about his own downfall.

A lot of people tend to neglect their legs at the gym: people concentrating on a fitness programme that's aimed at either getting bigger or getting stronger, often see bigger gains in their upper body and focus on them. If your goals are around balanced fitness and a better all around body, then leg toning exercises should definitely be a part of your routine.
When you're planning a fitness routine to focus on your lower body, it's important to include a range of different movements to ensure that you work all of the muscle groups equally and get a balanced workout. Ideally, your leg toning exercises should work opposing muscle groups over the course of the session in order to give you a workout that delivers similar gains in all areas.
Use the following routine as a circuit, and do 5 sets in total, and concentrate heavily on getting a very smooth movement and great form throughout each repetition. As you get more and more used to this routine, try holding weights to increase the effort, as this will really help to improve the impact of these leg toning exercises
- 30 seconds sprinting
- 10 x left leg lunges
- 10 x right leg lunges
- 10 x calf raises
- 10 x deep squats
- 5 x tuck jumps
When you've completed 5 sets of these leg toning exercises, be sure to stretch out fully to give your muscles the chance to relax after being worked hard.

Cool, the more testing and tweaking I did seem to back the desire to
make the mfsroot bigger . I did some testing. My config.xml is like
333KB, so a bit large. If I remove it and put the default config.xml
back the image boots fine. Does the config.xml get used to create other
conig files or is it called on as its own module?
Also, licensing tags on all the php files could return something like
120KB or so to the build. I will play and see if I can do a footer and
call it from each php page to see what that saves. (Sorry I was poking
around looking for space.) I might play with the idea a bit more and
see if there is any bloat... but damn, this is probably the tighetest
distro ever.

Hello everyone I wish my first post was contributing something instead of asking for help but I'm kind of stuck here.
I bought models for buildings and I put together a city in 3ds max for a game I'm working on and I am trying to reduce the drawcalls by combining all materials into one and all the textures into one texture. I was able to use UVW unwrap to put all the meshes together and align the UVWs for the new texture and then I used render to texture to create the new texture which consists of all of the smaller textures. So far so good but when I apply the new material the texture it gets extremely blurry, I don't know if I'm missing a setting somewhere when rendering to texture or if it has something to do with the resolution but I have tried 2048x2048 and 4096x4096 for the final texture and it looks the same.
Here it is before I collapse all the materials into one.
Here it is after.(I don't know why the shadows get rendered to the texture)
Here is the Texture:
Side note: I'm using 3dsmax 2010 because 2013 doesn't seem to have render to texture, it has render map but I cant select it, maybe because I'm using the student version.
Side note 2: I've looked into flatiron but I can't figure out how to activate the plugin. I think flatiron will do all this for me automatically so if anyone knows how to use that that would be good to.
Thank you in advanced for your help.

York, UK (SPX) Oct 31, 2013
An international team of scientists, led by physicists from the University of York, has shed important new light on coral skeleton formation.
Their investigations, carried out at the nanoscale, provide valuable new information for scientists and environmentalists working to protect and conserve coral from the threats of acidification and rising water temperatures.
As corals grow, they produce limestone - calcium carbonate - skeletons which build up over time into vast reefs. The skeleton's role is to help the living biofilm to move towards the light and nutrients.
Understanding the calcification mechanism by which these skeletons are formed is becoming increasingly important due to the potential impact of climate change on this process.
The scientists looked at the smallest building blocks that can be identified - a microstructure called sphemlites - by making a thin cross-section less than 100 nanometres in thickness of a skeleton crystal. They then used Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM) to analyse the crystals in minute detail.
The TEM micrographs revealed three distinct regions: randomly orientated granular, porous nanocrystals; partly oriented nanocrystals which were more granular and porous; and densely packed aligned needle-like crystals.
These different regions could be directly correlated to times of the day - at sunset, granular and porous crystals are formed, but as night falls, the calcification process slows down and there is a switch to long aligned needles.
Corresponding author Renee van de Locht, a final-year PhD student with the Department of Physics at the University of York, says, "Coral plays a vital role in a variety of eco-systems and supports around 25 per cent of all marine species. In addition, it protects coastlines from wave erosion and plays a key role in the fisheries and tourism industries. However, the fundamental principles of coral's skeleton formation are still not fully understood.
"It has been suspected for some time that the contrast bands seen in crystals in optical images were daily bands. Through our research we have been able to show what the crystals actually contain and the differences between day and night crystals."
The research was funded by the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC) and the University of York, and concentrated on three species of tropical, reef-building coral - Porites lobata, Siderastrea sidereal, Montastrea annularis.
The experimental work was carried out at the University of York's Department of Physics and the York JEOL Nanocentre, as well as the Centre for Microscopy, Characterisation and Analysis (MCA) at the University of Western Australia.
Lead investigator Dr Roland Kroger says, "Although we knew there was a difference between day and night crystals, we've actually been able to see the evolution from granular to aligned needles and to find out much more information about the phase, orientation and size of the aragonite crystals."
The York researchers are now turning their attention to looking directly at the affects of acidification. Their latest research studies five-day old coral larvae and compares a population from a normal sea water environment with another in an acidic environment.
The aim is to investigate the nanoscale impacts of the different environments at early growth stage to assess how these could affect the whole colony and the bigger reef.

(CNSNews.com) - Florida's House Speaker Thursday defended the state's election reforms package against charges that it will intimidate poor voters and those from minority groups. The reforms were hammered out by the state legislature following Florida's presidential ballot controversy in 2000.
A voters' rights group contends the election law changes in Florida would actually discourage minorities and poor people from voting by creating "a literacy test," and are a reminder of the "Jim Crow" laws that several Southern states once had on their books, which legalized racial segregation.
The Florida Voter's League has sued the state to stop it from implementing some of the changes, citing, in its argument, provisions of the 1965 Voting Rights Act, which banned any polling requirements related to a voter's "ability to read, write, understand or interpret" subject matter.
Florida's new election reforms would create a ten-point list of responsibilities for voters, requiring that, among other things, they study and know candidates and issues, bring proper identification to the polling station and check their ballots for accuracy.
"We believe that the voter responsibilities section of that act is a step so far backward as to be a literacy test," said JoNel Newman, a lawyer with the Florida Equal Voting Rights Project, a project of the American Civil Liberties Union of Florida.
However, those responsible for introducing the changes and pushing them through the Florida legislature, say the reforms do not demean voters. Instead, Florida's Republican House Speaker, Tom Feeney, says the idea that voters aren't intelligent enough to take basic responsibility at the polls does demean them.
"To allege that minorities will be offended or intimidated at the suggestion that they become familiar with candidates and issues is demeaning to the capabilities of those minorities," Feeney said.
Darryl Paulson, a professor of government at the University of South Florida and an expert on election law, said the intentions of the legislature were genuine and in no way were meant to be discriminatory.
"The intent of the legislature was clearly to improve the quality of elections in Florida and pointing out, of course, that voting is a right, and that with any right comes responsibility," Paulson said. "At the very least, it is an effort where there's an intent on the part of the legislature to do a very positive thing, which [the Florida Voter's League] has managed to put in a negative light."
Paulson said Florida has been recognized, since the election reforms bill was passed, for being among the first states to deal with election problems. However, now, he said, it is up to the voters to take responsibility for their actions at the polls.
"They are trying to fulfill their obligations, to say 'we are not the only ones involved in this process, the voters have to have some responsibility, too. We welcome the right to vote, but you have the responsibility to know how the machinery works,'" Paulson said.
