A Burmese python slithering through the Everglades proved that her eyes weren't bigger than her stomach, swallowing intact a 76-pound deer.
At 15.65 feet, the python isn't the largest on record. But the size of her prey both impresses and concerns state and federal wildlife scientists and land managers trying to control the non-native species.
"They are large exotic animals that are not naturally from this area," said Randy Smith, spokesperson for the South Florida Water Management District. "The potential to wreak havoc on the natural Florida wildlife ... they don't have true enemies."
Contractors spraying exotic vegetation Thursday came across the female python on an island about 20 miles from Everglades National Park, Smith told CNN Tuesday. It was dispatched, by protocol, with a single shotgun blast to the head.
A necropsy conducted by Everglades National Park wildlife biologists showed the python had a girth of 44.1 inches after devouring the adult female deer. The snake normally weighed 139 pounds.

Looking for an exciting uni course? Keen to escape the humdrum world of normal academic pursuits? Fed up with tiresome undergraduate degrees that offer the "same-old, same-old"?
Here at the Acme University of Sydney & New South Wales we offer an exciting new variety of diplomas and degrees to suit all tastes.
Choose from:
Diploma of Peace Politics and Revolution Resolution: Learn how to tell Friend from Foe in this dynamic course designed to open your eyes to the real villains in today's multi-complex plural-polar world of Bad versus Good and Right versus Left.
Join renowned Professor Tim Handwringson as he explains the role of peace-loving President Bashar Al-Assad in spreading loving vibes and harmony throughout the troubled Middle East. Field studies include holding hands and singing "Kumbaya" with Bashar himself in the fragrant gardens of the famous Damascus Palace of Peace and Prosperity (formerly the Syrian Mustard and Chlorine Chemical Gasworks Laboratory.)
Diploma of Zionist Expansion Studies and Protocols: You'll be amazed to learn just how far back the evil Zionist conspiracy to control the Entire World actually goes!
In this exciting course you get to combine archaeology, linguistics and modern politics, as Professor Goebbels and his team take you through the terrifying history of Zionism as explained in a secret cache of two-thousand year old scrolls recently discovered hidden deep within the vaults of our very own Marrickville campus (just behind the student union café)! Learn how vile Zionist bankers and evil chocolate retailers drank the blood of babies whilst plotting the Global Financial Crisis! (Masters degree includes "Jewish Origins of World War II" thesis.)
Doctorate of Climate Science and Gaian Studies: Fed up with sitting behind a dreary old desk staring at weirdo computer modelling that doesn't make any sense?
Hungry to get away from boring graphs and hockey-stick curves?
Here's your chance to study up close the hideous damage being wrought to our eco-system by mass carbon-emitting manufacturers and evil industrialists (many of whom come from Israel!) hell-bent on making extreme profits at the expense of Mother Nature.
Hypothermia among heat-stricken penguins
Join the crew of our very own "intellectual icebreaker" the freshly-painted Russian ship "Akademik Skolastik" (temporarily on loan from the Syrian Chemical Transportation Faculty) as we bring peace, harmony and global warming research to the melting waters of the Antarctica, where penguins paralysed by heat-stroke are dying of thirst and the ravages of drought, malaria and AIDS are infecting the entire polar bear population (see uni website for full catastrophic effects of climate change).
Note: candidates require first aid degree in surviving hypothermia.
Diploma of Modern Education: In this awesome coarse we look at what and how it is like that how todays kids don't need all that junk like whats it called phonics and adding up maths and stuff like that coz like every kid is they're own dude like and has there own needs and their should be able to be aloud to think about the way their going to get learned and tort by us without Tony Abbott and Christopher Pyne and Kevin Donnelly ruining our lives by like destroying the entire education system witch is why we need Gonski now for our kids and if we don't get a f—king payrise where going on strike and when we say all out we mean it OK or else!
Doctorate of Independent Journalism and Objective Reporting: In this exciting course, co-sponsored by the ABC, you'll be taught how to analyse complex political issues and arrive at your own conclusions independently!
And all by yourself!
Our team of eminent academics and highly-qualified Lateline hosts will teach you how to escape the insidious groupthink that infests sicko right-wing fascist conservative think-tanks and show you how to see straight through the lies and bigotry that oozes out of the mouths of everyone in the corrupt Liberal and National Parties that currently form the inept and creepy thing we are all ashamed to call our Current Government even though they don't actually have a Mandate. Course includes free drinks and food every Monday night on our Ultimo campus (entrance via the Q&A studio).
Diploma of Indonesian Studies: In this exciting new course offered for the very first time you will learn how 'Konfrontasi' or 'War with Indonesia' is inevitable thanks to the disgustingly provocative actions of Tony Abbott and Scott Morrison and their disgraceful policy of towing boats back even though these are people fleeing from the most hideous persecution in Syria and the Middle East due entirely to the plight of the Palestinian people who are daily persecuted by evil Zionists hell-bent on building three-storey retirement villas with optional balconies (cont'd on uni website).

Charity DrugScope reports a worrying trend that young people aretaking increasing risks with a drug that is used to tranquilise horses. But astudy has thrown up a question on whether its classification is correct.
With its hallucinatory side-effects, ketamine – also knownas Special K – is becoming the drug of choice for recreational users.
Its great attraction is cost: at £20 a gramme, it is halfthe price of cocaine.
Aware of its growing use, in 2006 the government madeketamine a Class C drug, but DrugScope believes this has had little effect onits popularity or availability.
Ketamine can be snorted, but injection is becoming morecommon as users experiment with higher doses and run the risk of spreadingblood-borne viruses such as hepatitis C or HIV. Cystitis also seems to be acommon side-effect, according to the Journal of Medical Case Reports.
In 2007, The Lancet published the findings of a study into20 drugs.
All the indicators – the potential for dependence, physicaland social harms – suggested that ketamine was a far more dangerous drug thancannabis, or ecstasy come to that.
Class C ketamine came in at number six while cannabis, whichis currently subject to a re-classification from C to B, trailed at 11.
Much has been written about the effects, harmful orotherwise, of cannabis and ecstasy as the reclassification process gets underway.
But expert evidence suggests that, if the government wantsto be seen as being hard on (soft) drugs, it could perhaps start with ketamine.
Or at least launch a public education programme.

They're expensive. It's cheaper to get a Cisco 2501 (dual serial

Heck, for the price of the PCI card you can get a spare or three!

A Cisco 2501 or 1601R is a common "base line" router. A 2610 or 1720
with a WIC-1DSU-T1 is also fairly common.
It would be a very good idea to get in touch with a broker - talking
with the sales guys can sometimes be educational - they know the
equipment better than you or I - and if you tell them your requirements
they make sure you get the right equipment.
Three such brokers are
* Optimum Data (http://www.optimumdata.com)
* Network Hardware Resale (http://www.networkhardware.com)
* Multi-Link Communications (http://www.mlcp.com)
Be sure to google for more!

A Divine Revelation of HELL by Mary K Baxter -Book
Hear the eyewitness testimony on the True Existence of Hell. Mary Katherine Baxter was chosen by God to let the world know of the REALITY of Hell. Jesus Christ appeared to Mary Baxter on 40 consecutive nights and took Mary on a tour of Hell and Heaven. She walked, with Jesus, through the horrors of Hell and talked with many people. Jesus showed her what happens to souls when they die and what happens to the unbelievers and Servants of God who do not obey their calling. DivineRevelations.info

Strategy use of children with Down syndrome in a delay of gratification situation
Cuskelly, Monica , Gilmore, Linda, Jobling, Anne, & Glenn, Sheila (2009) Strategy use of children with Down syndrome in a delay of gratification situation. Journal of Policy and Practice in Intellectual Disabilities, 6(2), pp. 101-102.
Scholarly Evidence
(PDF 960kB)
Administrators only | Request a copy from author
Background: The capacity to delay gratification has been shown to be a very important developmental task for children who are developing typically. There is evidence that children with Down syndrome have more difficulty with a delay of gratification task than typically developing children of the same mental age. This study focused on the strategies children with Down syndrome use while in a delay of gratification situation to ascertain if these contribute to the differences in delay times from those of typically developing children. Method: Thirty-two children with Down syndrome (15 females) and 50 typically developing children participated in the study. Children with Down syndrome had a mental age, as measured by the Stanford-Binet IV, between 36 and 66 months (M = 45.66). The typically developing children had a mean chronological age of 45.76 months. Children participated in a delay of gratification task where they were offered two or one small treats and asked which they preferred. They were then told that they could have the two treats if they waited for the researcher to return (an undisclosed time of 15 min). If they did not want to wait any longer they could call the researcher back but then they could have only one treat. Twenty-two of the children with Down syndrome and 43 of the typically developing children demonstrated understanding of the task and their data are included here. Sessions were videotaped for later analysis. Results: There were significant differences in the mean waiting times of the two groups. The mean of the waiting times for children with Down syndrome was 181.32 s (SD = 347.62) and was 440.21 s (SD = 377.59) for the typically developing children. Eighteen percent of the group with Down syndrome waited for the researcher to return in comparison to 35% of the typically developing group. Sixty-four percent of children with Down syndrome called the researcher back and the remainder (18%) violated. In the typically developing group 37% called the researcher back and 28% violated. The mean waiting time for the group of children with Down syndrome who called the researcher back was 24 s. Examination of strategy use in this group was therefore very limited. There appeared to be quite similar strategy use across the groups who waited the full 15 min. Conclusions: These results confirm the difficulty children with Down syndrome have in delaying gratification. Teaching strategies for waiting, using information drawn from the behaviours of children who are developing typically may be a useful undertaking. Examination of other contributors to delay ability (e.g., language skills) is also likely to be helpful in understanding the difficulties demonstrated in delaying gratification.

So I just talked with the father and he is going to turn in a declaration requesting more hrs with our son. He now gets four hrs from 1130-330 everyday except thursday. He wants six hours from 1030-430 this leaves me theree hours with our son before he is in bed for the nite. Do you advise I have an attorney to represent me? If I go to the court will they have an attorney that could represent me for cheaper?
I am unfamiliar with the exact laws and I am very nervous. So being our appearance is thursday, if I go down to the court today with my declaration to file and copy of the orders I should be okay?
What is the procedure at this court appearance, being that they already established orders. What does it mean by partial judgment?

Director of Development
My wife and I feel deeply that God led us to Messiah College. I have always felt a call to play an active part in furthering Christian higher education, and I can think of no place I would rather be than here at Messiah. The heritage of the College is comprised of many stories of people giving sacrificially so that students could attend Messiah and discern the vocational calling of God on their lives. Without the financial and prayer support of many, Messiah would not be able to fulfill its mission of nurturing young men and women toward lives of service, leadership, and reconciliation in church and society. I am grateful to be a part of the Messiah family.
Jon C. Stuckey became the Director of Development at Messiah College in September 2007. He came to Messiah in 2000 to launch and direct the Grants Office. Jon is a graduate of Malone College in Canton, OH, and completed his doctoral work in sociology at Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland. His past research focused on the role of religion and spirituality in the life experiences of those caring for a family member with Alzheimer's disease. Jon serves on the boards of Messiah Lifeways, Ten Thousand Villages and the Polar Bear Foundation (Northern York County School District). He and his wife, Shari Taylor-Stuckey, are the parents of two daughters, Taylor and Blake. They live in Dillsburg, PA and are members of the Dillsburg Brethren in Christ Church.

USA TODAY Book Club: Deirdre Donahue
Thursday, Jan. 30, noon ET
Meet Kate Reddy, hedge-fund manager and mother
of two. She can juggle nine different currencies in five different
time zones and get herself and two children washed and dressed and
out of the house in half an hour. In Kate's life, Everything Goes
Perfectly as long as Everything Goes Perfectly. She lies to her
own mother about how much time she spends with her kids; practices
pelvic floor squeezes in the boardroom; applies tips from Toddler
Taming to soothe her irascible boss; uses her cell phone in the
office bathroom to procure a hamster for her daughter's birthday;
and cries into the laundry hamper when she misses her children's
bedtime. In her novel I Don't Know How She Does It, Allison
Pearson captures the guilty secret lives of working women-the self-recrimination,
the comic deceptions, the giddy exhaustion. Chat with USA TODAY

Carruth Studio
Carruth Studio
1178 Farnsworth Road
Waterville, OH 43566
It all began in 1980 when George Carruth accepted a job sculpting products for American Greeting Cards. While working at American Greetings, George turned his attention to sculpting images on rough stones that had been found on the shores of Lake Erie and local sandstone quarries. Ultimately, with his wife's encouragement in 1983, George officially turned his stone carving hobby into a full time career by leaving American Greetings and launching what has now become Carruth Studio, Inc.
All of Carruth Studio's hand cast stone sculptures are designed by George, himself, and take on inspiration from many categories including holiday, family, animals, and many more. George's work is made in the U.S.A., cast in stone for outdoor display year round, though 50% of his designs are displayed indoors adding to the charm of one's home decor. With his hard work, and a passion to create, George's art continues to add charm and character to homes and gardens across the country.

|Review by: Zsofia Anna Toth
I have to say I really had a hard time reading these books, and now, it is even harder for me to write this book review on Beverly Lewiss The Covenant and The Betrayal. To write this book review is difficult for me because the experience of reading these novels was a really disappointing one, although it had seemed to be a promising venture. The author has written a number of books and is the winner of several awards, plus, she is said to be an expert of Amish life. These pieces of information, together with the subject matter of the books, and the initial aim of the story, with the promise of a real true story about Amish life all seemed to be a wonderful-gut idea (to adopt the authors own words). However, except the true depiction of Amish life (which I have to admit, I do not know much), the author failed to fulfill her promises.
I would like to quote Lisa Ann Cockrel, a previous reviewer of The Betrayal, as follows: Uninitiated and more critical readers of the book may chaff against an overabundance of colloquial language (redd, Dat, ach, wonderful-gut, jah), the idealized presentation of the Plain life, and thinly drawn characters. Much of the dialogue and inner thought of the characters seem highly contrived, like soliloquies of earnest actors in a drama about an Amish life they only know about through movies*. In fact, the problem is much more serious than what this citation (see below for all info) attempts to imply.
First of all, Cockrel had worries about the language usage in the novel. In my view, that would not have been a real problem since there have been books written in colloquial language still of high quality; what is more, the usage of terms and expressions in Pennsylvania Dutch was actually a good idea. Yet, the hyper idyllic depiction of the Plain life (an utopia could have been more realistic and true to life) and the hardly-existing characters had much more to do with ruining the story. Furthermore, the reviewers mentioning the idea of actors and movies is somewhat closer to the truth because this story, actually, gives you the impression that you are reading a written soap opera with Amish characters (which is a rather odd image).
As Roland Barthes says in his study entitled The Death of the Author, the modern author is being born together with his work. If the author of this/these book(s) was born together with her work(s), then, it might happen that she has problems with existence. In From Work to Text, Barthes claims that the text is connected to jouissance. Where is it to be found in this case? These texts do not provide jouissance. They are not of a rewarding kind.
The story is actually unstructured; it is only an unbridled stream of thoughts. It does not have a real concept. The two novels do not have a whole structure either; they flow into each other. The story is just flowing-flowing and does not arrive anywhere. The basic idea would have been great-- how to cope with the temptations of the world in an Amish community-- but the end result does not seem to manage to reach deep ends, to create real conflicts, to depict real human reactions. The idea ends up solely stirring the surface as if it does not dare plunge into deep water. The problems in the novels are very serious, such as childbearing out of wedlock in a rigid religious community or choosing the right spouse or whether to keep weighty secrets, still, these serious problems are not handled as such; they do not open up, they do not develop, they do not get solved, the reader ends up only dragging them through the hundreds of pages.
The characters do not improve either; these characters are so flat that not even a road-roller could have been able to make them flatter. They think sometimes, or even struggle with anxiety, though, it is not really credulous, but the main problem is that they never improve. They stagnate just like their lives. Nevertheless, there would not be a problem with writing about the stagnation of life, yet somehow, Samuel Beckett succeeded in writing a much more successful work about it.
Thus, Abrams daughters: Sadie, Leah, Hannah and Mary Ruth Ebersol, but not even Dat, Mamma, or at least Aunt Lizzie (who could have been a promising character) do not really have life, do not really have character, do not really take part in anything, do not really live anything and do not really achieve anything. (And the same could be said about all the other characters.)
However, if the aim of both books was to show the lifelessness of the Plain life (what I personally cannot believe), it succeeded.

The Miracle Electric Grain and Flour Mill ME300 is easy to operate, cheap, and can handle any grain you may put into the hopper. Unlike many of the other cheaper electric grain mills available, this mill isn't damaged by harder grains. It might not process grain as quickly as some of the more-expensive mills, but in return it doesn't make much noise, doesn't throw flour all over the place while grinding, and is easy to disassemble and clean.
The Miracle Electric Grain and Flour Mill ME300
The #5 Pick on Our Top 5 Best Grain Mill List
|[amzps id="23″]
The mill also has 16 different texture settings. This may seem like overkill, but it does provide more options than your average electric mill. At the lowest setting it produces the tinsy-wincy specks of flour, while at the highest many grains fall through completely uncut.
Miracle Electric Grain and Flour Mill ME300 Features
- Makes 1 cup of flour every minute
- 16 different texture settings
- Can handle harder grains
- Makes little noise
- Three years warranty
Great for Hard Grains
As mentioned above, the ME300 has little problem with hard grains. In fact, it can even deal with the moist and oily grains that trip up so many other low-end electric grain mills, although there is a trick to stop it from getting jammed up. If the grain you are using is especially oily, you can avoid jamming by slowly adding a little at a time at a time.
Good Build Quality
If the mill ever does get jammed, you don't have to worry about the mill being damaged. You can clean it all out in no time at all, and then you can resume grinding as if nothing happened.
If you chose to, there is nothing stopping you from grinding non-stop for hours. Should this mill become too hot, it automatically protects itself and automatically switches off. And again, after you've left it for a few minutes to cool down, you can press the reset button and get grinding once more.
Easy to Clean
Good design means that the this mill's motor is never exposed to any flour. This makes cleanup easy, as you can disassemble all the electrical components from the mill itself, leading to a total cleanup time of just a few minutes.
Relatively Little Noise
Most other electric grain mills in this price range are extremely noisy, but not so with this mill. Any mill that produces less noise than a vacuum cleaner is doing its job well, and that is exactly what ME300 does.

The party of Obama is increasingly unmarried and irreligious, a shift that could help the GOP build a new majority.
For irreligious people, this is a potential outrage of the first order.
He is irreligious in the conventional sense, but his world teems with beliefs.
In this regard, the Democratic Party faces an obvious challenge with its majorities of the unmarried and the irreligious.
"Feminism" is now unfairly associated with a certain kind of privileged, coastal, irreligious white woman.
He had not moral courage sufficient to withstand the irreligious fanaticism of his age.
Father Sergius knew this common, cold, conventional, and most irreligious type.
That is to be irreligious,' and then he made the cross on his breast, as if I had put a bad thought into his heart.
I can be religious and irreligious,' he said; 'I can be anything or nothing.
Here is a philosophy which obviously may be both as antihumanistic and as irreligious as any which could well be conceived.

It's time to get dirty.
The San Bernardino County Sheriff's Department is holding its fundraising Mud Run Saturday, May 17 in Devore.
The Sheriff's Athletic Federation started the Mud Run to offset expenses for personnel to run the Baker to Vegas Relay.
Today the Mud Run provides donations to many causes and strengthens relations between the community and law enforcement, according to a news release.

This year, a portion of the proceeds will be donated to the Sheriff's Employee Assistance Team to support families of fallen officers.
The Mud Run will have a 5K for runners over 14 years old, and a 1K (Pig Pen) for youth.
The run is at 9 a.m. today at the Sheriff's Training Center, 18000 W. Institution Road, Devore.

Here is some pictres of the after party that i wish to share with you
The speakers were good, first i landed at the hotel to meet up with the rest of my family
Then we had to get a shuttle to the D4 entrance under the north stand, as we are going down the tunnel much to my belief there were bloody photographers and TV cameras
I was like 'im not getting out of this bloody car' i had to face up to it though i was nervous and a bit scared to be honest, anyway got that out the way and went for some tea and biscuits
In there i met up with Paddy Crerend and had a right laugh with him, top bloke, then spoke to Sir alex
We then went upstairs to the United Suite, where the memorial took place, im sure you lot knew what happened then if you watched MUTV i dont want to repeat it, it was a really good service
Then on to dinner, im going to be critical here as i didnt think it was right the way they did the orders well infact it was poor
The Starter was some pate, chutney and small salad this wasnt actually that bad then they came in with the main, Lamb Steak with mash potato and veg, well the steak was nice this wasnt the down point, my auntie and some of the family didnt like lamb, so when asking the catering manager if there was an alternative they said, Veg hot pot, which was actaully all the left over veg that wa sin the mains in a thicker broth, she looked at my Auntie with evils so it really pissed me off and the amount of staff they had there they could have got away with having a few more options on the menu!
So if you ever go Man united, its great just down order any food as they probably wont serve what you like lol
Any way heres some pics of the after party

LOS ANGELES (AP) Comedian Ellen DeGeneres swept Daytime Emmy awards for talk show and host for the second straight year.
"This means a lot to me," she said Friday night after winning the talk show award and telling her partner, actress Portia de Rossi, "I love you."
Another big name will join DeGeneres in daytime television. Barbara Walters announced that Rosie O'Donnell will be replacing Meredith Vieira on The View.
"Well, thank God, because it was either that or 'Celebrity Fit Club,'" said O'Donnell, a former Emmy-winning daytime talk host.
Walters added, "We're so lucky to have her."
Vieira will become Today show co-host in September when Katie Couric moves to the CBS Evening News.
For the first time in its 33-year history, the annual Daytime Emmy Awards ceremony was moved from New York to the Kodak Theatre in Hollywood, home of the Academy Awards. The ABC telecast also was expanded to three hours.
Former '80s teen idol Rick Springfield, who recently returned to General Hospital after 23 years, opened the show in an outdoor fan zone singing a medley of his hits before moving inside and concluded with "Jessie's Girl."
Guiding Light won four Daytime Emmys, including Kim Zimmer as lead actress. Zimmer won her fourth career trophy for a story line in which her character Reva Shayne Lewis went through menopause and eventually fell down an elevator shaft.
Before the show, Zimmer said that if she won she wouldn't allow herself to be nominated again after 10 nods. Backstage, though, Zimmer changed her mind, saying the only way she would withdraw her name was if other Guiding Light actresses stepped up to compete in the lead actress category.
"I'm at the end of my contract," she said. "Maybe the gods are intervening and saying you can't leave now. We'll see what happens."
The CBS soap opera also had a trio of first-time winners: Gina Tognoni for supporting actress, Tom Pelphrey as younger actor and Jordan Clarke for supporting actor.
"Oh my goodness, I didn't expect this," an exuberant Tognoni said.
General Hospital won for best drama and directing. The ABC soap opera has earned a record nine trophies in the drama category.
Tony Geary of General Hospital took home his fifth Daytime Emmy as lead actor. He first won in 1982.
CBS' The Young and the Restless topped the nominations list with 18, but its only trophy was for writing.
Jennifer Landon of As the World Turns won her first Emmy for younger actress. A year ago, the 22-year-old actress was a college student before getting her big break playing the scruffy Gwen.
"Oh boy, I have heartburn," said Landon, the daughter of the late Michael Landon of Little House on the Prairie fame, who never won an Emmy.
"To my Poppa, thank you," she said.
Sesame Street won for preschool children's series, making it 12-for-12 in the category.
"This is not too shabby for a show that's starting its 38th season," senior producer Carol-Lynn Parente said.
Caroll Spinney, the puppeteer who plays Big Bird and Oscar the Grouch on Sesame Street, received the lifetime achievement award from the National Academy of Television Arts & Sciences.
Vieira of Who Wants to Be a Millionaire lost as game-show host, to Alex Trebek of Jeopardy! The quiz show was honored last week for game/audience participation show.
"I want to thank myself," Trebek said. "Forty-five years ago, I graduated from the University of Ottawa and had a few career opportunities available, but I chose television and I've never, ever regretted that decision."

DVD reviews: 'Cloud Atlas' and 'Texas Chainsaw'
"Cloud Atlas" (2012, R, 172 min., $28.98). One of the most anticipated movies of the 2012 slate, "Cloud Atlas" didn't quite perform up to expectations. The picture is hard to grasp, with a confusing collection of interwoven storylines that produce lots of characters. Those who read David Mitchell's 2004 novel, from which "Cloud Atlas" was adapted, will definitely have an easier time with the film from the directing team of Lana and Any Wachowski and Tom Tykwer. The pic has some positives, too. The cinematography is amazing, and it plays very nicely with the movie's music. Also, the cast, including Tom Hanks, Halle Berry, Hugo Weaving, Jim Broadbent and Jim Sturgess, comes through in what could have not been an easy job. "Cloud Atlas" sets out to describe how a person's actions affect the lives of others in the past, present and future. To do this, the film charts the lives of several different people over centuries. "Cloud Atlas" goes back to the days of slavery in the United States, and it even heads far into the future. Those picking up the Blu-ray package will find much more in the way of extras. A single featurette can be found on standard DVDs, but seven are available on Blu-ray. Also, this is one of those movies that was made to be seen in HD. 2.5 Stars.
"Texas Chainsaw" (2013, R, 92 min., $29.95). "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre" was a hit upon its release in 1974, scaring the heck out of viewers and leading the way for a bold, new brand of horror. Since then, filmmakers have tried to find that same success with sequels and remakes. "Texas Chainsaw," the newest addition to the herd, might have come the closest. Unfortunately, that's not saying much. Give director John Luessenhop and his team of screenwriters credit for adding a chapter to this bloody franchise that feels original and advances this gory story. Previous attempts were lousy, so "Texas Chainsaw" had a low bar to jump over. The film's plot jumps into the end of the original story, as a posse gathers around the Texas house of horrors that holds maniacal killer Leatherface and his family. The posse burns the house down, killing almost everyone inside. Two people escape, and one of them is a baby girl who's raised by a member of the posse. Several years later, a grown-up Heather (Alexandra Daddario) finds the truth, which takes her back to Texas. It will be a reunion she'll never forget. Standard DVD and Blu-ray packages are loaded with extras, including some cool featurettes that explore the movie franchise and the making of "Texas Chainsaw." Commentary with cast members of the 1974 movie also is worth checking out. 2.5 Stars.
"A Glimpse Inside the Mind of Charles Swan III" (2012, R, 86 min., $19.98). Roman Coppola, son to Francis Ford, makes his feature-length debut as a director with this quirky dramedy about a successful graphic designer whose life falls apart after his girlfriend dumps him. Cast includes Charlie Sheen, Bill Murray and Jason Schwartzman.
"Frankie Go Boom" (2012, NR, 89 min., $19.98). Sibling rivalry is the focus of filmmaker Jordan Roberts' comedy about a guy (Chris O'Dowd) who goes too far in posting an embarrassing video of his awkward brother (Charlie Hunnam). It's a move that could cause lots of problems. Ron Perlman, Lizzy Caplan and Chris Noth also star.
"Liz & Dick" (2012, NR, 90 min., $19.98). Lloyd Kramer's picture made its debut in 2012 as an original cable movie on Lifetime. The picture drew plenty of interest for its casting of tabloid punching bag Lindsay Lohan as Elizabeth Taylor. Kramer's film looks at Taylor's up-and-down relationship with Richard Burton (Grant Bowler).
"Back to 1942" (2012, NR, 145 min., $24.98). Tim Robbins and Adrian Brody headline the cast in director Xiaogang Feng's important picture about the Henan Province disaster, where three million people died from starvation. Drought, windstorms, war with Japan and government corruption played parts in this dark part of Chinese history.
"Face 2 Face" (2013, NR, 100 min., $24.95). Filmmaker Katherine Brooks turns the camera on herself in this interesting documentary. When she puts up a Facebook post to visit the first 50 people who respond, she gets a large response.
"Escape" (2012, NR, 80 min., $19.98). Fans of "The Hunger Games" should get a kick out of this thriller about a young woman battling for survival. The year's 1363, and Signe is traveling to a better place with her family, after surviving a plague that's ravaged the population. On the journey, they come across a ruthless pack of killers.
"Barrymore" (2011, NR, 83 min., $29.98). Christopher Plummer gives one of the strongest performances of his career in the screen version of the William Luce play of the same name. Prior to the film, Plummer won a Tony for playing the part of screen legend John Barrymore, an actor trying to make a comeback in "Barrymore."
"Bunohan: Return to Murder" (2011, NR, 98 min., $14.99). Three estranged brothers are at the center of this thriller set in a border town in Malaysia. The town's name is Bunohan, and the brothers, all with different reasons for being in the same place, get lost in a web of violence, betrayal and murder.
"Marley Africa Road Trip" (2013, NR, 299 min., $20.99). Ziggy, Rohan and Robbie Marley hit the road in Africa to raise awareness for a concert they're planning in this documentary from filmmaker David Alexanian. The three sons of the legendary Bob Marley make plenty of connections in exploring the territory their father loved so much.
"Mr. Hockey: The Gordie Howe Story" (2013, NR, 90 min., $20.99). Directed by Andy Mikita, this sports film, which made its debut on the Hallmark Channel, focuses on Gordie Howe and his return to hockey in the 1970s. One of the greatest players ever, Howe came out of retirement to play with his sons, and had plenty of success.
"The Henry Fonda Film Collection" (2013, NR, $49.98). Featuring "The Grapes of Wrath," "The Ox-Bow Incident," "Daisy Kenyon" and seven other feature films.
"One Hour Photo" (Robin Williams and Connie Nielsen, 2002, R, 96 min., $19.99)
"The Verdict" (Paul Newman and Charlotte Rampling, 1982, R, 129 min., $19.99)
"The Great Escape" (Steve McQueen and James Garner, 1963, NR, 172 min., $19.99)
"Viva Zapata!" (Marlon Brando and Anthony Quinn, 1952, NR, 113 min., $19.99)
"Brubaker" (Robert Redford and Yaphet Kotto, 1980, R, 132 min., $19.99)
"Dexter: The Seventh Season" (three discs, 12 episodes, $54.99)
"Dance Academy: Season 1, Volumes 1 & 2" and "Dance Academy: Season 2, Volumes 1 & 2" (each season two discs, 13 episodes, $19.95)

More often than not, a jury trial in a wrongful death or severe injury case is about assigning blame. Jurors want someone to blame for the harm that was caused. Usually, this is either the plaintiff or the defendant. In medical malpractice cases, jurors may also point to bad luck as the cause.
For defense lawyers, one of the best targets for responsibility is an empty chair, either a dismissed or unnamed defendant. This is a more substantive target than mere bad luck and it allows the jury to meet its perceived obligation of assigning clear responsibility. In Copsey v. Park, the Maryland high court addressed the question of whether the defendant could point to the empty chair of doctors who had already settled before trial.

Last night I discovered that the CVS Green Bag Tag program was ending. It had been a few weeks since I'd shopped at CVS, and when I got a $2 CVS ExtraBucks coupon on my receipt, I noticed that it was a "thank you" reward for using the Green Bag Tag program, which CVS had discontinued as of April 30, 2013.
I searched the CVS corporate website for an announcement about the program ending. The fact that the Green Bag Tag landing page has shut down should have been my first clue. Then, all I could find was the press release from 2009 announcing the start of the program. Here's what CVS had to say back then about why it started the program:
According to The Wall Street Journal, approximately 100 billion plastic shopping bags are used in the U.S. each year, and only roughly one to three percent of those bags are recycled. To encourage shoppers to cut down on the use of single-use plastic bags, CVS/pharmacy has introduced a new product and program called GreenBagTag which rewards members of the company's ExtraCare loyalty program for declining plastic bags when making a purchase…On every fourth scan, GreenBagTag cardholders receive a $1.00 Extra Buck on the bottom of their receipt. Extra Bucks are like free CVS/pharmacy money that can be used on nearly anything in the store.
You may recall that I was on the fence for awhile about purchasing a Green Bag Tag, because I wasn't sure that spending $.99 to save a future $1 was worth it. Boy, am I glad I ended up getting one of these tags.
For more than three years, as part of my shopping at CVS, I have brought my own bag and scanned my Green Bag Tag every time I checked out. In no time I made back that initial $.99 investment. It was smart for me to continue to use this tag, plus take advantage of CVS's Extra Bucks Rewards program (which does not seem to be going away, thank goodness), because CVS is the most convenient drug store for me to do my shopping. It was easy for me to become a loyal CVS shopper.
I don't plan to change how I shop at CVS, because I can still earn Extra Bucks based on specific shopping purchases. I'm just sad that I'll no longer earn a $.25 bag credit every time I go to the store.
Speaking of bag credits, since I first wrote about stores that reward customers for bringing their own bags, fewer and fewer stores have continued to offer bag credits. Based on my current research, the following stores will continue to give you a discount, albeit a small one, when you bring your own bag:
- SuperFresh (2 cents)
- Target (5 cents)
- Trader Joe's (some store locations enter you in a contest to win a Trader Joe's gift card or some other prize)
- Whole Foods (at least 5 cents, though I've read that in some locations you can choose to donate your bag credit to a good cause if you'd like)
Sadly, that's about all I could come up with. If you know of national retailers that are continuing to offer bag credits when you bring your own bags, please post a comment to let me know. I would love to see this list grow again over time.

(assert x p?) is equivalent to (if (p? x) x (error ...)) except that the result is known to have the appropriate type (here `String'). Nothing is done at macro expansion time, and `assert' doesn't change the typechecking of anything. It's just a function with a particular type. I would rewrite your expression like this: (and (string? s) (string=? s "") s) which I think is what you did, and which is how I'd write the program in Racket as well. -- sam th samth at ccs.neu.edu

Mystery White Case
There's nothing better than enjoying one of your favorite bottles of wine. Once you take that familiar sip of sweet vino all those great memories you had with it come rushing back. Still, there's something pretty great about finding new favorites, too. Thanks to our Mystery White 12-Pack, we're able to send you some of our favorite wines that you may have never even thought to try. Give it a shot, we're sure your favorite bottle won't mind! You could receive some of these "greats" currently on our website:
2013 Cannery Row Chardonnay
Based in Monterey County along California's famed Central Coast, the talented winemaker blended fruit from a cool-climate vineyard along the Arroyo Seco riverbed with a small lot from a warm inland valley. The result: a stylish, delicious, classic California Chardonnay. Its fresh fruit aromas lead to flavors of apple, nectarine and ripe juicy melon. A hint of toasty oak and vanilla from oak aging adds depth and complexity, while a balancing acidity keeps it refreshing.
2013 Tied Knot Riesling
The 2011 vintage of the Tied Knot Riesling continues the winery's legacy of consistency. It's delicate, soft and notably approachable, but without sacrificing a certain special crispness. Our experts were most impressed by how nicely balanced they found this vintage, with a fruity conglomeration of Meyer lemon, pink grapefruit and peach being the catalyst in both the flavor and aroma of the wine. The Riesling grape varietal is an aromatic, dry white that evokes thoughts of flowers and perfumes. Originating from the Rhine region of Germany, it's considered amongst the three most important white wine varietals along with Chardonnay and Sauvignon blanc. Rieslings have a rich and storied history. The earliest known documentation of the wine being produced comes from Alsace in 1477 and by the late-nineteenth century, the grape made it's way to our shores.

How to keep Facebook out of your contacts list
Question: A friend said that Facebook is collecting phone numbers without permission. Is this true?
Answer: That's a scary thought, isn't it, and it's somewhat true. Facebook's mobile app does sync your phone's address book to your Facebook account. Here's how you can stop it: On the iPhone, open your Facebook app. Select Friends and tap the Sync button. This is located at the top right corner. Then tap Sync Contacts and turn Syncing to Off. For Android, go to the main menu. Click on Settings and look under Other Settings. Select Sync Contacts and then Remove Facebook Data. Now go to www.komando.com/news and click Remove Imported Facebook Contacts link. It will ask if you want to remove imported contacts. Click the Remove button. You're done!
Q. I'm a house painter who is always on the go. Is there a way I can take credit card payments in the field using my cellphone? It would make my life a lot easier.
A. Who doesn't want to get paid easier and faster? Fortunately, several companies have systems that let you take mobile payments. Square, for example, has the Square reader. This plugs into the headphone jack of an iOS or Android gadget. It works just like any other credit card swipe reader. You can write up a bill in the Square app and email a receipt to the customer. Everything is done electronically. Square doesn't require a merchant account, startup fee or monthly fee. It does, however, take 3% to 4% of every transaction. Still that's better than most traditional mobile payment services.
Q. I've about had it with my Mac's trackpad. I keep bumping it when I type and the cursor goes everywhere. Is there anything I can do to fix it?
A. This was one of my pet-peeves for a long time. Happily, OS X has some settings that can help. Start by going to System Preferences and clicking the Trackpad icon. Look at the bottom of the Trackpad dialog box. You'll see an option for Ignore Accidental Trackpad Input. Make sure that option is checked. If you have an external mouse connected, go to System Preferences and select Mouse Preferences. In older versions of OS X it might say Mouse & Keyboard. There will be an option for Ignore Trackpad When Mouse Is Present. Check that option. That should solve most problems. If you still have issues after taking these steps, they're likely caused by your hardware. In that case, you'll need to contact the Apple Store.
Q. I'm trying to save money on electricity. So I've been shutting my computer down when I'm not using it. However, my friend says that will cut short the computer's life. Is she right?
A. Modern computer parts are very tough. Frequent startups and shutdowns won't wear them out. It's no worse than normal computer use. If you don't use your computer often, by all means shut it down. Or you can use Windows' Sleep mode. This is like a modified shutdown. It keeps a few parts of the computer running. It saves electricity but your computer will turn off faster. That's a good option if you're only going to be away for a short time. For longer absences, you can still do a full shutdown.
Q. I got a new Windows 7 PC. I'm a little disappointed because it seems to be running slow. It only has 2 gigabytes of RAM. Should I try upgrading?
A. Sorry your computer isn't as fast as you thought it would be. Adding more RAM can help make multitasking and media editing snappier. It probably won't improve startup speed or how fast programs run. You also want to make sure you have the 64-bit version of Windows 7. It can handle 4GB of RAM with no trouble. The 32-bit version of Windows 7 won't see anything over 3GB. In that case, adding more RAM won't make a real difference. To see what you have, go to Start, right-click on Computer and then select Properties. Under System, check System Type. It will say either 32-bit or 64-bit. It's also possible that lack of RAM isn't the issue. Your computer could just be bogged down with pre-installed junk from the manufacturer.

cooper ('koop-er) n. [from Latin: cupa, a cask; Middle English: couper; Middle Dutch: cuper]. A person whose work is making or repairing barrels and casks.
Source: Webster's New World Dictionary of the American Language (1980). New York: William Collins Publishers, Inc.
And a bit more detail (quoted years in boldface), courtesy the Oxford English Dictionary:
cooper [Occurs in 15th c. as couper, cowper, cowpar... (It is not and Eng. derivative of coop, which, so far as appears, has never had the sense 'cask'.) An old spelling remains in the surename Cowper, pronounced Cooper by those who bear it.]
1.a. A craftsman who makes and repairs wooden vessels formed of staves and hoops, as casks, buckets, tubs.
A dry cooper makes casks, etc., to hold dry goods, a wet cooper those to contain liquids, a white cooper pails, tubs, and the like for domestic or dairy use.

b. On board ship: One who looks to the repair of casks and other vessels.

By the way, the tartan off to the left side here is, in fact, the Clan Tartan of the Cooper family. It came from the Scottish Tartans Museum in Franklin, NC. (They have a wonderful shop and sell every available tartan and many other items.) If you can't visit them in person, then by all means check out all the wonderful online tartan images at their website!
In good company . . .
Well, okay, Cooper is a pretty common name, but you can still tell people that you're (perhaps? probably? somehow?!) related to these famous or influential folk:
- Gary Cooper (1901-61): Star of the silver screen (High Noon, A Farewell to Arms, For Whom the Bell Tolls), but then we didn't need to tell you that, did we?! What you may not have known is that that wasn't his real name: actually, Cooper was unchanged, but for some reason someone (maybe a studio exec, maybe young Frank himself) decided that Frank Cooper could be improved upon.
- James Fenimore Cooper (1789-1851): US novelist, born at Burlington, NJ. Best known for his frontier adventures, like The Last of the Mohicans (1826) and The Pathfinder (1840).
- Leon Neil Cooper (1930- ): US physicist, born in New York City. His theory of the behavior of electron pairs (Cooper pairs) in certain materials at low temperatures was a major contribution to the theory of superconductivity.
- Peter Cooper (1791-1883): US inventor, industrialist, and philanthropist.
- Thomas Cooper (1517?-1594): Well-known and respected British lexicographer, also Bishop of Winchester and Dean of Christ Church (Oxford). Main claims to fame: he revised Sir Thomas Elyot's Latin-English dictionary (Bibliotheca Eliotae, 1548) and wrote the once much-used Thesaurus linguae Romanae & Britanicae (1865).
If you'd like to read even more about the name Cooper (and other famous Coopers throughout history), there's a detailed and thorough page, The Origins of the Family Name Cooper, which makes for a very interesting read.
