'Morning Joe' Panel Hypes 'Very, Very, Very Big News' of McCaskill's Hillary Endorsement – 3.5 Years From 2016 Election
According to James Carville, all Democrats want to do is "get behind" Hillary Clinton for the 2016 elections. It's definitely easier for them to do so when the media is throwing their full weight behind the former secretary of state.
The liberal panelists on Tuesday's Morning Joe hyped the "very, very, very big news" that Sen. Claire McCaskill (D-Mo.) is endorsing former Secretary Clinton for the 2016 presidential race – three and a half years before the election. McCaskill announced she was supporting Clinton Tuesday morning through the Ready for Hillary Super PAC.
Co-host Mika Brzezinski touted the endorsement as "telling at a number of levels" and a sign that "there has got to be some communication happening." Time political analyst and panelist Mark Halperin seemed even more enthusiastic, raving:
Hillary Clinton's Super PAC could amass an enormous amount of money. And again, people like Claire McCaskill coming out early on. It's extraordinary to think – open contest, no incumbent running. And if Hillary Clinton wants this, if she decides to run. To have Claire McCaskill and others coming out this far in advance to say this is who we want, we may see less a nomination fight and more of a coronation if Hillary Clinton decides to do it.
Halperin even went so far as to suggest that gaining the support of former Obama allies would make her untouchable, "in either party":
A lot of Obama people, skilled people – politicians, but also activists and strategists and tacticians are saying this is who we want. And the more the Clinton people can get the Obama people, nobody else can touch that in either party.
Now, I feel like we've heard this kind of "inevitable" talk about Hillary before. That might be because we did – in 2007, when every media outlet across the nation declared then-Sen. Clinton the Democratic nominee and president-elect for 2008.
Of course, we know how the 2008 Democratic primaries ended, and that included a surprise endorsement for then-Sen. Obama from McCaskill, despite her long history with the Clinton family. But it's a bit ridiculous of the media to treat McCaskill's endorsement – unsurprising, given the Democratic consensus forming around Hillary for 2016 – as a game-changer in the distant presidential election.
No doubt, the liberal media will continue to obsess over Hillary's as-of-yet unannounced campaign for president – and over every single Democrat who expresses an ounce of support.
See the relevant transcript below:
Morning Joe
June 18, 2013
7:53 a.m. Eastern
JOE SCARBOROUGH: But we have – this is fascinating here. I was asking Chris Christie a little while ago about 2016. Because of course people go, gee, that's way too early. But plans are already being made by the big candidates. We're going to have some breaking news coming, some news at 8:30. But we're going to break it here first. Fascinating on the Hillary Clinton front.
MIKA BRZEZINSKI: Telling at a number of levels.
MARK HALPERIN: There's a very aggressive Super PAC called Ready for Hillary, supporters of Hillary Clinton trying to encourage her to run in 2016. They're going to announce this morning at 8:30 on their website, Claire McCaskill, Missouri senator, is going to say she's ready for Hillary, going to support Hillary Clinton in '16. It's a big deal for a lot of reasons. Remember Claire McCaskill in 2008, close to the Clintons but supported Barack Obama. One of the early symbolic supporters of Barack Obama.
SCARBOROUGH: And it caused a lot of consternation in the Clinton camp. As you guys reported in your book, in "Game Change" the Clintons thought time and time again that Claire McCaskill was going to be supporting them. She even hinted that. And then they were blind-sided by her support for Barack Obama. Very dramatic moment in that campaign. But she is getting out first here. And you say that announcement is coming at 8:30.
HALPERIN: Early on, 8:30 this morning, Claire McCaskill. Look, she's a Democratic senator. She's a woman from a red/purple state. This is part of, as I say, a very aggressive effort to say lots of people, including a lot of prominent women Democrats, want to urge Hillary Clinton to run and create a bandwagon.
SCARBOROUGH: So who runs, what is it, Waiting for Hillary?
BRZEZINSKI: Ready for Hillary.
SCARBOROUGH: Ready for Hillary. Waiting for – who runs Ready for Hillary?
HALPERIN: Ready for Hillary is a bunch of people associated with Hillary Clinton. There's some staffers and there's prominent people like James Carville who have been very supportive.
SCARBOROUGH: I mean, it's pretty obvious that it's an arm of the future Clinton campaign, right?
HALPERIN: Remember how back a deal Super PACs were in 2008, and in 2012 for Mitt Romney in the nomination fight. Hillary Clinton's Super PAC could amass an enormous amount of money. And again, people like Claire McCaskill coming out early on. It's extraordinary to think – open contest, no incumbent running. And if Hillary Clinton wants this, if she decides to run. To have Claire McCaskill and others coming out this far in advance to say this is who we want, we may see less a nomination fight and more of a coronation if Hillary Clinton decides to do it.
SCARBOROUGH: So Chris Christie, Mika, is going to wait until 2015.
BRZEZINSKI: Yes, to talk about it.
SCARBOROUGH: Claire McCaskill – so Chris [Christie] is waiting until 2015 to think about it and Claire McCaskill is waiting until about 8:15 [a.m.].
BRZEZINSKI [laughing]: Exactly. Perfect analogy.
SCARBOROUGH: Which, by the way – people go, why would you guys talk about this so early? Because they are talking about it. I don't care what Chris Christie says. He's got people calling him the second after he's elected, they are going to be trying, pulling him in. Hillary is, of course, working it. You know, Joe Biden behind the scenes is working it. A lot of people are.
BRZEZINSKI: You know, I know a lot of people who have called him. Clearly. Well this is very, very, very big news on some levels, given the fact Hillary Clinton hasn't said anything about what she might do. There has got to be some communication happening.
HALPERIN: The other thing that' s happening, Claire McCaskill is one element of this. A lot of Obama people, skilled people – politicians, but also activists and strategists and tacticians are saying this is who we want. And the more the Clinton people can get the Obama people, nobody else can touch that in either party.
SCARBOROUGH: And there's nobody that can challenge Hillary if she decides to run, is there?
MIKE BARNICLE: I wouldn't think so. I would think the vice president would probably not run if Hillary Clinton gets a full head of steam with endorsements.
BRZEZINSKI: Right. The Biden angle.
BARNICLE: Freezing assets, freezing money people, it would be difficult.

Andrew Cashner flirted with history and the Padres' offense made sure he got the victory in a 2-0 win over the Pittsburgh Pirates on Monday.
The (very) Good.
What a flirt. RHP Andrew Cashner took a perfect game into the seventh inning, retiring 18 straight batters – five by strikeout – before Jose Tabata led off the inning with a single to right. Not that that first – and only – hit ruined Cashner's day. He struck out seven batters over nine shutout innings in what was easily the best game of his young career. It also is arguably the best game ever pitched by a Padre because no one else has ever faced the minimum while allowing just one hit in a nine-inning shutout. Oh and Cashner needed just 97 pitches – 67 strikes – to do it. Bravo.
Making it count. Pirates RHP A.J. Burnett – who threw a no-hitter at the Padres in 2001 at Qualcomm Stadium – was cruising until the Padres rallied for two runs in the top of the seventh – with Cashner still chasing history. SS Ronny Cedeno and C Rene Rivera both singled to open the inning, OF Will Venable plated a run on a sacrifice fly to center and 2B Jedd Gyorko singled in another run for a 2-0 lead.
The Bad
Still no no-no. Tabata's seventh-inning single not only ruined Cashner's bid for a perfect game, it spoiled his bid to add a chapter to Padres history. The Padres are the only MLB team that has yet to throw a no-hitter. Hard to believe considering all the games they play in pitcher-friendly parks and some of the characters who've thrown no-nos over the years – guys like Dallas Braden and Philip Humber in recent years. Obviously, bad luck is part of this story.
Nit-picking. The Padres won and Cashner was brilliant, but he should have had a bit more of a cushion against Burnett, who walked three and allowed six hits in his 6 2/3 innings. The Padres, though, went 1-for-9 with runners in scoring position.

Hi I have ALFA AWUS036H 1000mw and it works well, no problems yet.
One program that you may find interesting is wavemon.
Is your problem only in your WLAN or with every WLANs
I just recieved the Alfa AWUS036H, and after playing a bit around with it, i find that i am unable to get a proper connection if my WLAN has a signal lower than 60-70%. Sometimes i am not able to connect at all with this signal. I can easily crack the WEP at a lower signal, but i am unable to connect properly.
EDIT: Actually, i get a connection, but the internet is superslow.
Do anyone know why this is? I've also noticed that the device doesn't show networks that are below 50% - So i would've thought that it should easily connect to all the networks it see's.
When i type iwconfig, it outputs that the transmit power is set to 27 dBm (500mw?), which i believe should be enough to transmit back to the AP... I am using the RTL8187 driver, and the WPA supplicant driver is set to "wext" in the Wicd manager - However, im not sure if this matters. I've tried to use "ralink legacy" instead, but this doesn't make a difference. I've read that the RTL8187 should be the best driver for normal internet use, and the R8187 is better when using the aircrack-suite. Still, maybe its worth a try to switch to the R8187 to see if this is better?
Is the R8187 already installed in backtrack? Is the changing of driver just simply a matter of editing the blacklist-file? Do i need to reboot for the new driver to become active?
Im grateful for all input on this
Thank you!

Thank you for your response, i'll check it out I've tried with two different APs, and have the same problem with both
this is a strange problem indeed. try to connect to other AP's to see if the problem still excists.
if it does, plug your device in a different pc and try again.
if all fails, then maybe your device is DOA.
I don't think switching drivers will help, but here's how I do it:
modprobe -r rtl8187
modprobe r8187
I know you're supposed to blacklist the rt8187 driver when using r8187, but I never found any problems if I don't blacklist.
the r8187 driver is standard included in bt4final.
good luck

Thanks for the feedback As i've mentioned, i tried with two different APs with same result. I don't think its DOA, cause i just tried it in Windows XP, and it works very well. I may have ****ed up my backtrack installation though, cause ive done some different things with it. Might try to do a fresh install tonight, and see if it works better then..
Funny you say that as i experience the same problem sometimes,im running bt4 final(install) and have a alfa awus306h and when i connect to some networks that are well with in range the pages dont load at all,page will load up to about 75% status and hang then.
I have yet to find a solution or reason why this happens,by the looks of it,its not a problem for some people.
I don't think it's a strange problem at all but rather quite normal. You say that you are getting a signal lower that 60-70% but you don't say if this is line quality or power. It's common to have a strong signal and poor line quality especially in a multipath environment. You need to look carefully and specifically at the line quality of the connection. To do this type airmon-ng -c X wlan0 where X is the channel of the AP. Look at the line quality (RQX) of the BSSID and make sure it stays above 70% on a regular basis. If it does not, then you have identified the problem.
The fact that you get a connection and it is super slow is, again, expected behavior when line quality is poor. That's what the protocol is designed to do, drop down in speed rather than lose the connection.
I suspect that either having a stronger antenna or reposition the Alfa closer to the AP is going to solve all your problems.
Obviously the link quality is the problem just as you suggested. Sometimes the RQX goes down to 10% and rarely higher than 40%. I still think its a bit strange though - cause in Windows XP i can connect and browse normally with the Alfa in the same location. I've also installed the power driver in XP which displays the link quality, and this roams between 40% and 70% which clearly is sufficient as im having a fair connection, and pages loads normally..
Found the solution! https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+s...ux/+bug/215802
2nd post:
I also think playing with a lower tx-power had some effect, but im not certain. It might just have been a placebo effect for my partCode:iwconfig wlan0 rate 11M
Thanks for all your feedback, it guided me in the right directionCode:iwconfig wlan0 txpower (using a variable between 0 and 27)
Last edited by lupin; 03-25-2010 at 10:06 AM. Reason: Merging...
yeh I also was experiencing this as soon as i got my alfa....and soon figured out it was definitely line quality...I had walked up closer to the AP.If u use windows u will see the alfa application giving u two readings..One for signal strength and the other is line quality..Sometimes the Signal Strength is high and the Line quality is low but it's really the line quality that pulls the data in to browse smoothe...What I did that is an immediate solution is get a directional antenna for the alfa to really maximize it's capabilities...first off i built what u call an EZ-12..You can google it..it's a free do-it-yourself antenna u can build very easily..And mind u it really really works well...but i recommend u buy one of the better constructed directional antennas..I have ordered mine from wi-fi link technologies it should be here in 2 weeks..Might let u guys know how it's performing in another thread...peace.

Unforgotten Realms: Episode 46: Stylish and Delicious
Pages PREV 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 NEXT
NOOOOO! This was my favorite show. It's very sad to see it go. I hope with all my heart that it will someday continue.
Oh man, that image on urealms.com is the saddest thing I've seen in months. This was the second series I ever got into on Escapist. Hell, my text message sound for awhile was "I wanna cast a spell."
Set up DVD pre-orders now, kthx.
damn economy.
Hey Rob, i wish you the best of luck in your future projects (whatever you decide to do)!
DAAMMMMITTT!!! WHY GOD WHY!?!?!??!!Its rather upsetting...if you didn't guess, really upsetting oh well....NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
I can't believe it is gone from Escapist! NOOOOOOOOOOO!!
Either way...DVDs!??? WWWOOOOOOOO! Will these be the series you have already made, or new full length episodes?
And will it be returning after a fair amount of DVD sales as stated on the website? And if it does, will it return here or somewhere else?
Damn...I can't believe it is over (for now). I love this show so much. Don't worry, I will be buying the DVDs.
Of all the shows on the Escapist this is the one that they aren't renewing or are letting go? Really? I'm not sure I understand the logic in that, but then again great shows like Futurama and Firefly were canceled and then came back later with something awesome. I hope it all works out for UR, it is probably my favourite internet series, ever.
you will be missed guys bye i think im going to cry
so the thing that brought me to escapist is leaving, thanks a bunch Rob, you helped me discover a super kool website, i hope you get picked up by another site soon =D so what happened(I don't feel like reading all the comments for clues) aren't you gettin enough views so they've canceled you? anyways, so now you gotta get a real job huh =/ that sux man. sorry to say but being brutally honest urealms has been getting a little lack luster...i don't know maybe getting a little old or something...
What the... UR cancled? I just hope this is just a joke. This show and ZP make my day here and I will be sad to see it go. Anyway Rob good luck, you have made us laugh, cry, and say WTF? and hope to see you come back. Just to let you guys know that yes the stairs did disapear. Oh and if you do have UR come back let us all know where ok, also where do I get those DVD's when they go on sale?
Lol wtf at 1:35.. The stairs suddenly disappear xD
And srsly going to miss this show :(
You will be ordering the dvds off of "Urealms.com" I am pretty sure.
My soul hurts..
Well so much for my visits to escapist. Well I'll still watch ZP, but my traffic here is going to drop dramatically.
All of our souls hurt Vulkan. We can all just pray that they don't remove it from the site. R.I.P Unforgotten Realms.
I am sad. I loved this show and I will miss it a lot. And I will buy the dvds. Good luck Rob... we'll miss you.
but ... but ... ... this was the only reason I even came to this site (well this and Zero Punctuation ...). How many many Thursdays and Fridays I would constantly refresh the page to see the next episode. Really sad ... really sad. Kinda pus a real bummer on what was supposed to be a great day Friday + Flyers season opener. I am really sorry to see this go away, feels like I lost a friend.
This was the one of the greatest shows one the escapist; it was the reason that i start going to the escapist. This show is going to be really miss by me. And i hope you have a good life and that everything is going OK. You made my Thursdays a treat... i wish you the best and you will be missed.
If you ever do come back... I be here waiting.
this doesnt have to be the end if you go the urealms.com his website and buy the season one dvd he will continue but people have to love the show enough to buy the dvds for him to keep going
You have no idea how depressed you just made me.
I like these but not enough to actually go out of my way to get them
Oober sad face. Prevent Urealms from dieing by buying a DVD!
For those of you who still think this series is over...
EDIT: On the subject of the episode, HILARIOUS
Hey lets not speculate anything please as it spreads false information around and I can guarantee none of you will come up with what truly happened!
Aw.............................. Man.... This is just not my Week... D: If it'll get UR back, I'll buy the DVD.. AND PLUS, it's an Uunforgotten Realms DVD, it'll be awesome!
DUDES this is a joke ppl click on the note on urealms.com and robert explains everything sir shmoopy (on this episode) said he'll be back before new years >.<.
hope that UR keeps going if not i'll be sad and a little bit mad cause that was a bad series finaly so i guess i'll be checking Urealms.com for any updates
i also plan on buying the DVD fun for the whole family
The stairs were an optical illluussiooonnn.
Was pretty great while it lasted... hope you can get back on track and bring it back :D
Gl on future shiz
Magic stairs
woah.... wait... hold on!
:[ last episode on the escapist SOOO SAD! Im gunna buy teh DVD i wana see it!

Location very nice in lovely village with view op pond. Good food (small selection). 10 min from A4.
charming staff, good room with balcony and big shower. excellent food. will definitely return.
Nice location, excellent food, friendly staff. No
Quiet, calm, pretty location, good breakfast. The pillows were too soft/thin.
The hosts were friendly and helpful. They made us feel right at home in their B&B which is really a very large, old chateau with an intriguing history. No. But some people might find it a little remote.
David the owner makes you feel very welcome and if you wish you can join him at his table for dinner, which is excellently cooked by his wife using produce from the estate or local suppliers (delicious!) Our room was very comfortable and clean. The hotel has lots of charm and is in a beautiful location
The Chateau is a prime example of elegant shabby chic. It is more of a private home than a hotel. Our host is very gracious and helpful. He sent us to probably one of the most unpretentious and fabulously delicious restaurants for dinner just a few kilometer's away. Our room and bed were comfortable. Lorraine is a beautiful and very rural part of France fortunately not as touristy as Alsace. Perfect place for those who want to hike or bike. If you are looking for a wonderful truly french experience go to this Chateau! Breakfast was only bread and coffee. You could pay a bit more for eggs and ham but need to tell the host the night before.
We liked everything...The atmosphere surrounding the Chateau was graceful and welcoming, and the grounds were a feast for the eyes . Rooms were spotless & very comfortable, and the hosts immediately made us feel at home, plus, the home-made gourmet specialties were wonderful. Will most definetly go back for a longer stay.
nice staff, clean room, free parking wifi a bit difficoult
Lovely position,gorgeous outlook beside the river,faded but charming large bedroom and bathroom, simple breakfast in nice and quirky dining room. Do not arrive between 3 and 5.30pm and especially not on a wednesday when restaurant and hotel are closed! A phone call got us in ,but no food,no drinks,nor use of terrace etc...
Comfortable room though bathroom /toilet cramped - evening meal food good seemed to be made in hotel not mass produced breakfast poor no choice (old fashioned French style continental) not worth money
A hotel of grerat character in a lovely area The rooms look llike they could do with a bit of modernisation
This is a very old hotel along the French canal system and is also reasonably close to the main highway. Our stay here was a highlight of our travels as the charm of the hotel was at least matched by the gracefulness of our hosts. We ate dinner here and suggest that anyone else staying here do so as the food, preparation and service are superb, and not in a snobbish way as in high-end establishments!
People very friendly, helpful & efficient. Restaurant 1st class - wonderful food. Hotel style & decor charming - very French countryside feel. Mattress on bed too soft - backache next day. Shame as apart from this stopover was excellent.
Friendly welcome, charming owner, delicious meal beautifully served. We felt very comfortable and would return again. Hotel is right by the canal and we had a lovely walk.
The web site quotes as below The "deck" leaning above the river Zorn with view on the boats going in and out of the locks on the canal will refresh your peacefull moments during the hot summer days." In fact you cannot see the canal or boats from the dining deck! The waiting staff had difficulty in completing our dinner order. I was asked to pay for dinner and room the night before - which I did. The waitress gave details of the bill to a colleague who prepared a credit card slip which I signed. I was not given a copy of the itemised bill. When I asked for one I found that breakfast (which we did not intend to take) had been included.This I consider to be sharp practice.
Excellent dinner, but closed Sunday. Breakfast simple but supplied cheese on request. Owner friendly and spoke excellent English as did the staff. Interesting location with canal and the inclined plane canal boat lift. Parking a little limited but was not a problem to us. There was a hand douche spray but no proper shower.
Very helpful staff, who made a real effort to speak english to us. Very good food is a lovely dining room. closed for dinner sundays, however this seemed to be the norm in the area

Falling Skies S03E07: "The Pickett Line"
On this week's Very Special Episode of Falling Skies, Matt Mason wasted a mountain man who stole his horse (and tried to stab his brother in the face), and the Masons and the Picketts learned what it really means to be human. I think we've reached so-bad-it's-good territory! So excited!
Despite the fact that NO ONE ACTUALLY KNOWS WHERE ANNIE AND ALEXIS ARE, Tom and his flawless sons left Charleston behind in search of their surrogate mommy and creepy alien stepsister. Eventually, it was declared that Anne and and Alexis were in Mechanicsville... though based on what lead, I do not know. Along the way, the band of brothers (and dad) ran into a dying rebel skitter and I decided that I feel sadder when skitters die than I do when humans perish on this show, mostly because the humans are increasingly irritating and the ones who do croak are usually relatively unimportant outside of being plot points. At least the rebel skitters are kind of interesting.
While on the run from some mechs, the Masons ran into the Picketts because no post-apocalyptic tale is complete without the obligatory reminder that the family from Deliverance will always, always, always be more dangerous and terrifying than the extraterrestrials. Before we met the Picketts, however, Tom voiced his decision that maaaaybe the Mason famdidly shouldn't return to Charleston after they find their women. After all, Ben gets enough flack for his spikes, and now Hal can never be trusted again ever, and Alexis isn't even human. Who cares if Tom Mason is Falling Skies' chosen one, the only human in Charleston who never makes the wrong decision ever? Can we talk about how eagerly Tom shirked his responsibility to the people he'd sworn to lead when he let himself be elected president? Ditching his office was bad enough, even if it was at least marginally understandable, and given his eternal emotional compromise, it might have been a very good call if not for the fact that Marina is SO OBVIOUSLY SKETCHY AND SNEAKY AND AWFUL AND OMG I JUST CAN'T WITH THE WILLFUL BLINDNESS FROM ALL OF THE PEOPLE ANYMORE UGGGHAKLJASKDL JASKLF!!!1!
Okay. I'm fine. I got it out of my system and I'm fine.
Anyway. Tom ditching the presidency was kind of selfish, but not irredeemably selfish, if that makes sense. Sure, he stepped down to pursue his own wants, the state of the fledgling union be damned, but at least he was honest. He knew he couldn't be an effective leader in his current situation. But this new decision to not go back to Charleston at all seems like overkill. The battle is far from over, even with the Volm's help, which—surprise!—may not actually be help after all. Tom was the only guy in the entire city who had absolute faith in the Volm's plan, and Marina was at odds with him over the super cannon before he stepped down; he had to realize that she'd use her shiny new executive powers to enforce her own policies concerning the Volm, and that they'd certainly be drastically different than his own.
Whining aside, I will say that Falling Skies has done a good job of keeping the nature of the Volm's true intentions pretty solidly ambiguous. I've gone back and forth on whether they're good or bad so many times I've developed vertigo, and this late in the season, that's rather remarkable and enjoyable. Picking up his "mouthpiece of the viewers" role yet again, Pope took a page out of Thoreau's book and called on the unwashed masses of Charleston to defy what he recognized as an increasingly totalitarian state under Marina's influence, only to have Weaver turn around and arrest him... only to have Weaver turn around and let him go because something's totally fishy in Chucktown and Pope is the only human in the city with any freaking common sense left.
Also: Lourdes! You BAMF-y brainwashed mole, you! Look at you! Assassinating the president with the same gun that blew a hole in Manchester and everything. Admittedly, the actual assassination was kind of awesome. I was expecting arsenic in the IV lines or something. I guess that would have too quickly implicated her, though—and can we please not with the guppies swimming around in her face? I mean, gag.
All in all, "The Pickett Line" was a good Falling Skies episode in that it confirmed some theories, raised some new possibilities, and kept us entertained. However, it was also very silly. It was only a matter of time before Matt Mason killed a person and forced us all to think deep thoughts about it, and I knew it was going to be as preachy as Sunday morning after you get caught streaking in your grandma's backyard, but that was just priceless. Self-righteous much, Mason family?
– The inevitable problem with splitting the ongoing narrative into two distinct stories—The Mason Family Adventure Hour and Something's Rotten in the Town of Charleston—is that one is invariably more appealing than the other. Personally, I'm more invested in the goings-on in Charleston. Some of you might prefer to hang out with with the Masons. Unfortunately, the split makes for some disjointed episodes when you're forced to spend half the time waiting to get back to the group you're actually interested in.
– Hey everybody! Lourdes is the mole! Congrats and confetti to those of you who called it! Marina is still totally a baddie though, right? Or am I just sounding desperate now?
– Christopher Heyerdahl played Mr. Pickett. Hi, Alastair! <3<3<3
– On that note, does Falling Skies have some sweet guest-star action this season or what?
– Here are the humans' options, according to Cochise:
1. Use the super cannon to overload the generator shielding the planet, or drop dead of radiation poisoning in about three months.
2. Use the super cannon to overload the generator shielding the planet, accidentally kick the sucker into overdrive, and drop dead of radiation poisoning ahead of schedule.
3. Use the super cannon and (maybe) win?
This plan sucks.
– Will the Masons return to Charleston to save everybody with their sheer Mason-ness, or is Falling Skies setting itself up for a fourth season that eschews the "comforts" of Charleston in favor of a return to the migrant militia the show started out with? Is that something you'd want?
What'd you think of "The Pickett Line"?

I just recently started working a 12PM-9PM shift at work and am having trouble adjust food wise. I come home hungry and I am doing my damndest not to eat when I get home as I typically go to bed within an hour of getting home. I take my last meal between 4-5 and I've tried eating breakfast and not waiting to eat until after I workout. There really isn't a difference in hunger levels when I get home. Any thoughts?

I work 10pm-6am and go to bed around 8am usually. I've been sleeping better since eating a lighter meal immediately when I get home. Usually one or two eggs, 1/2 cup wild blueberries with some raspberries an blackberries thrown in, and some coconut milk stirred with the fruit. Oh, and I eat a big ass salad with steak every night at about 315am. On workout days I immediately go to the gym upon awakening with a downed whey shake, and I like to do a IF on "rest" days. Anyway....hope this helps.KFCialis - It may be boneless...but you won't be! - Stephen Colbert

I work 12hr shifts 7-7 and eat my last meal at about 3am. This works for me but I have had days that I feel hungry before I leave work. I'd put together a small meal like 4 strips of bacon or some hard boiled eggs. Just about anything you like will work. If you are leaving work at 9 or so I'd eat something small before I left at about 8:30 or I'd eat my last meal at about 6-7.
I also find that eating a real meal 4 or 5 hours before bed allows me to not be hungry at all. You could try this:
1. Eat small about before leaving work
2. Eat larger more satisfying meal at your normal 4-5 pm (I make my last meal pretty big, with lots of fat and I eat slow)
3. Drink large glass of water before leaving work or when you get home.
Keep working at it and you will find a time and amount that works for you.
Good luck
I work in a call center so it isn't physical labor. Our lunches and breaks are scheduled so I have no choice in time. My problem is that I am not hungry at 4 yet I workout between 10-11 and eat something after I shower around noon(we have a gym at work). I haven't felt the urge to eat everything in sight with winter coming. I'm not starving when I get home, I just feel the urge to eat a little something. I'm in bed between 10:30-11 as I have to be up early in the morning to take care of stuff at home.Georgette
Maybe have one of Batty's Blueberry Butter Balls with B-Coconut when you get home. A nice light snack.
I tried bone marrow for the first time. I like it very much but I can only eat about three of them. Fatty in the extreme! That much concentrated fat seems to signal my brain that I am full and do not need to eat. I was surprised how fast that happened. So buy three marrow bones, roast them and give it a shot. You may find a snack that holds off all hunger for hours.
I work 6p-6a three to four nights a week. I eat a meal before going to work, a breakfast type meal or meat and veggies. I eat again around 11 or 12. I always bring my lunch, usually good Primal leftovers. I eat a snack around 4, something like berries and nuts. I don't eat when I get home because my belly doesn't feel great when I wake up. This has worked for me. I've lost 32 pounds since May 1st. My biggest problem is finding the best time to exercise.
I hate to say it, there may not be an "answer" to your problem. I have been working a 7 day swing shift (8 hr. shift) for almost 17 yrs! It never fails that no matter how I plan my meals at work Im usually always hungry when I get home! Since going primal in late June I've made sure that when I need to eat that close to bedtime, that I eat a small amount of something proper, no falling off the wagon.
I hope you can come up with something that will work for your situation....
BTW - Since going primal in late June, I've managed to drop almost 40 lbs!
Maybe it's an Ohio thing! Too close to the lake for me!

We gave it a B
All the horsemanship Viggo Mortensen picked up as Aragorn in the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy clearly paid off. Here, he's back in the saddle as Frank T. Hopkins, a down-and-out cowboy enticed into entering the "Ocean of Fire," a treacherous 3,000-mile race across the Arabian Desert, by Sheikh Riyadh (played with the usual panache by Sharif) for a $100,000 prize. If only it were that easy. Instead, Hopkins and the equine of the movie's title battle sandstorms, conniving competitors, and even a cheetah before crossing the finish line. Director Joe Johnston doesn't let the CGI effects overwhelm either the action or Mortensen's aw-shucks performance, and no steed has displayed this much star presence since Mr. Ed.
EXTRAS Plenty of horsing around on the "Sand & Celluloid" featurette, which includes a how-to on creating edible locusts. But while Viggo's strong and serene disposition may work on the big screen, it renders him apathetic during the interviews.

Every company I know that's implemented smartcards is just as thoroughly hacked as the companies that don't. Smartcards do give you added security, but it's only a small amount and not in the places you really need it. Want to stop hackers? Improve your patch management processes and practices, and help your users refrain from installing stuff they shouldn't. Those two solutions will work hundreds of times better than smartcards.
Making the best of a compromising situation
Today's computer security world is a crazy, paradoxical one. Computer security companies are collecting billions of dollars for customers who are still routinely hacked.
Firewalls, IDSes, and antivirus programs don't work. How do I know? Because most companies have all these security technologies in place, and they are still compromised by hackers, almost at will. Even our good, reliable, secure encryption is mostly meaningless. Either hackers go around the crypto (by directly attacking the target in its unencrypted state on the endpoint), or the cryptography is poorly implemented (the OpenSSL Heartbleed bug is an example).
As a result, we security professionals are knowingly accepting that our computer security defenses are partial at best, while our vendors tout their solutions as incredibly accurate and impenetrable. It ain't so. We're being sold snake oil and being told it's sound, scientifically researched medicine.
What's a defender to do?
Well, push for real solutions. Take a look at how your environment and systems are being compromised on a daily basis, and push for solutions that fix those real problems. Don't get lost in the myriad promises of computer security products.
Me, I trust the vendor who tells me the truth, warts and all. I understand his product won't solve all my ills, and I know his product can't be 100 percent accurate. Avoid vendors who claim otherwise.

Snowdon death 'tragic', says mountain rescuer
A 21-year-old man has fallen to his death on Snowdon, say North Wales Police.
Mountain rescue team members and a helicopter from RAF Valley on Anglesey were scrambled to the scene on Friday.
It is understood the man and his friend tried to turn back after taking a wrong turn, when he fell hundreds of feet. Walkers heard the cries for help and alerted rescuers.
John Grisdale, chairman of Llanberis Mountain Rescue Team which took part in the rescue, said the death was "tragic".

Women's Dresses
Women's dresses come in a vast range of styles, colours and prints. Usually full, knee or calf length, from office parties to formal affairs, there is a dress to suit every occasion and body shape.
The "little black dress" (or LBD) is thought to have gained in popularity thanks to the creations of Coco Chanel in the 1920s. Its neutrality of colour, versatility and universally figure flattering appeal make it a firm favorite still today.
Belle of the ball
Women's formal dresses are always the apparel of choice for a special occasion such as a wedding, ball or prom date. These feminine creations are usually longer or mid length and primarily crafted in materials such as opulent chiffons and silks to classic cottons and synthetic blends. These dresses are designed with a woman's silhouette in mind, with cuts such as Empire line having a fitted bodice ending just below the bustline, to give a high waisted appearance. Many women's formal dresses have eye catching detail such as sheer panels, beading, crystals and metallic thread woven into fabrics for added impact.
Traditionally, cocktail dresses are worn at cocktail parties and black tie occasions. Celebrated French fashion designer Christian Dior was the first to use the term "cocktail dress" in the 1940s to refer to early eveningwear. Historically, the length of this dress was ankle high. However, today it has evolved and many different cuts of dress style fall in this category ensuring they remain the smart choice for more formal social occasions.
Party on
Women's party dresses are usually knee length or, if you dare to bare, even higher. They can be sleeved or sleeveless, one-shoulder or strappy, depending on the look you desire. Burlesque and vintage inspired corset dresses make a real fashion statement and the more demure styles of this dress would not look out of place at a ball or prom. If you are looking for more coverage close fitting sheath dresses and bubble dresses can be accessorised to suit.
Keep it casual
A casual dress code is synonymous with comfort. There are many cuts and colours of women's casual dresses to choose from. For balmy summer days maxis, sundresses and hippie inspired boho fashions steal the show, with their skin skimming, floaty fabrics and exceptional level of comfort. If a little more coverage is required jumper dresses, wrap dresses and shirt dresses offer up informal style. In addition, clever cuts such as a figure hugging bodycons or cute wiggle and pencil dresses can cross over from day to night with the late addition of a few well-chosen accessories.

US looking at action against China cyberattacks
The Obama administration is considering more assertive action against Beijing to combat a persistent cyber espionage campaign it believes Chinese hackers are waging against U.S. companies and government agencies.
As The New York Times and Wall Street Journal reported Thursday that their computer systems had been infiltrated by China-based hackers, cybersecurity experts said the U.S. government is eyeing more pointed diplomatic and trade measures.
One former U.S. official said the administration is preparing a new National Intelligence Estimate that, when complete, is expected to detail the cyberthreat from China as a growing economic problem and cite more directly a role by the Chinese government in the espionage.

Cream Floral Cushion
Product Description
Our bestseller, it has featured in magazines worldwide and is breathtakingly pretty in real life.
It makes a wonderful gift.
Made from a high quality wool felt. Each of the flowers are cut by hand and sewn on individually. Each cushion comes with an inner feather pad.
Cushlab strives to be an ethical manufacturer, so all our cushions are made to order in the UK, within our workshop, by people who care about the standard of each piece.
30cm x 50cm
Additional Information
|30cm 50cm
|50 x 250 cm
After finishing an MA in fashion design at St Martins I worked for several years as a freelance designer mixing that with teaching and raising a family of three.
Cushlab was born eight years ago out of the need to fill my home with good quality design-led cushions that weren't the same old thing that everyone else had. To my surprise they quickly caught the attention of the press and we are routinely featured in Livingetc Style Homes & Interiors grand Designs etc which is fantastic. I began with one cushion idea 'the loop' cushion which is made in a wool felt and is still my best seller but quickly expanded the range to include further styles in felt linen and cotton. I have my own 'sketchy' LOVE and Union Jack cushions which are a contemporary reaction to the rather twee versions surrounding us today!
I am always keen to respond to the needs and wants of my clients this means if you want a cushion but in a different colour combination let me know and I can organise it for you and will happily send you out swatches so that you can check the colour and felt quality is perfect so please feel free to contact me for bespoke options.

was always sure that at 50 I was going to have plastic surgery, however concerned that I would not look like myself. Under Dr. Altman's care we talked about a lot of options that were available, non-invasive safe procedures. That would not involve surgery and allow me to go about my normal life.
The laser skin tightening I have had performed on my neck has exceeded my expectations. My neck looks youthful again, non sagging, lines or wrinkles. It was painless and the only aftercare was to stay out of the sign and not apply certain creams or chemicals to the area for a period of time. Dr. Altman educated me before the procedure and spoke to me as human being one on one with respect and concern that all my questions were answered extensively. During the procedure I was constantly told of what was transpiring and sent home with full directions. This was an outstanding experience!!!

While Washington Redskins owner Daniel Snyder was doling out large sums of cash that even Congress saw as obscene, the Cincinnati Bengals characteristically were quiet on the first day of NFL free agency.
That meant that several of the more high profile potential targets on the Bengals radar were snatched up in the initial flurry of signings. Off the board now are wide receivers Robert Meachem, Pierre Garcon and Reggie Wayne. Cortand Finnegan and Terrelle Thomas are cornerbacks of interest who are no longer available.
The good news is that several intriguing prospects still remain. The chief free agent target for Cincinnati remains RB Michael Bush. While Bush tweeted yesterday from Arizona, it's doubtful he's looking there with Beanie Wells firmly entrenched.
At wide receiver, Mario Manningham is still out there and with the Buccaneers signing Vincent Jackson, he may be looking elsewhere besides re-signing with the Giants. Braylon Edwards remains a more veteran option if the price is right. A return of Jerome Simpson isn't out of the question either as there were no inklings of interest from around the league yesterday with him either.
All of the Bengals targets on the interior of the offensive line remain available. The top candidates, Carl Nicks and Evan Mathis, likely won't consider Cincinnati and Baltimore's Ben Grubbs was reportedly in New Orleans yesterday talking to the Saints in the event Nicks signs elsewhere. Tennessee's Jake Scott remains available as does veteran Steve Hutchinson. Reports had former Ram Jacob Bell visiting Cincinnati, but he doesn't appear to be much of an upgrade over Nate Livings or Mike McGlynn. If Bell is signed, it will likely be for depth, meaning the team plans to go with a draft pick like David DeCastro and Clint Boling.
Several cornerback prospects still remain, including William Gay, Chris Carr, Richard Marshall and Tracy Porter. Terence Newman, who was cut by the Cowboys, played for Mike Zimmer in Dallas, but is a bit long in the tooth. Giants veteran Aaron Ross is reported to be visiting Cincinnati this week.
Of course re-signing S Reggie Nelson continues to be a priority and could get expensive as he is being mentioned as a potential target by several clubs including the New York Jets.

This article has been updated from the original written on 6 September 2011
Refine your game preparation on the elements most important to your game and you'll have a game that's easier to run and more fun for both you and your players. That's the core maxim of the Lazy Dungeon Master in a nutshell. It's an easy statement to say, but harder to appreciate and implement. Where should we focus our time? What should we leave blank? What tools are the most valuable for a flexible game? The answer to these questions will vary for every DM but we are likely to find some common ground.
In this article we're going to look at some of the tools that offer the greatest value at the table. They're easy to use, keep your preparation focused, and help build deep and rich D&D games right at the table.
When we think about the best tools to help us run a good D&D game, we have to think about what really matters to us and our players at the table. Here are a few things we might consider:
The tools we should choose should help us build these things quickly and easily. Ideally we can bring the tools we need right to the table and cook up the whole adventure on the spot. Developing grand histories, writing out complicated NPC backgrounds, and statting out our own monsters from the ground up may not be nearly as valuable for the time and energy we spend.
When considering useful tools, let's begin with tools to help tie PCs to the world.
Often the best story threads in our game are those handed to you by players through the backgrounds and motivations of their characters. Keeping track of all of these threads can be a pain in the ass, though. A good campaign worksheet can help you keep track of all of the threads and interests of the PCs as well as the names of NPCs, locations, and other things that guide your story. Having this on hand during the game, jotting down your notes, and then reviewing it between games is a great way to know what matters to the game and seeds your brain with ideas about where things might go.
Because every game is different, you'll probably want to design one of these yourself. A horizontal page in Word with about four columns is a good place to start. Put down the PCs, their backgrounds, themes, and interests, the NPCs and ties, major story threads, fantastic adventure locations, and anything else that helps you keep track of the story. More than a page and you've probably written too much.
Here's an example Murder at Baldur's Gate Campaign Worksheet and a 13th Age Blank Campaign Sheet to get your ideas flowing.
One of the best lazy DM tools is also one of the oldest—the venerable Monster Manual. Each game system has its own, some huge and some very thin. Depending on your style of play, paper copies may work better than digital although digital monster manuals let you snapshot just the pages you need and sort through them in a photo viewer.
Besides obvious uses, monster manuals have a few uses that really aid the lazy DM. First, they help you fire up ideas. Good monster manuals have story seeds wired right into every monster description. When you're stuck for an idea, you can usually skim through a monster book and get an idea for an encounter or adventure with hardly anything else needed.
Second, monster stat blocks are always useful for reskinning. Simply rewrap the flavor of any creature you can think of around the mechanics of a monster stat block that behaves close enough to the vision you have of the creature. Take the image of a powerful ogre fire mage and wrap it around the mechanics of a red dragon, for example. You can almost strip away all of the flavor of the monsters in a monster manual and just think of it as a pile of monstrous skeletons around which you can wrap your own creatures.
When it comes to pure mechanics, monster books are likely to hold the most. The more you use them at your table, the more time you save having to worry about coming up with your own.
Since the original Dungeon Master Screens, GMs have always wanted quick reference charts they can use at the table to keep their game running smooth. Now you can find cheat sheets for just about every system you can think of. Though D&D editions from version 1 to version 3.5 haven't always had consistent ways to articulate monster power at any given level, 4th Edition simplified and streamlined the math. This results in an easy to use 4th Edition Cheat Sheet to help you determine monster stats at just about any level. The back pages in the 13th Age core book and the baseline stats for monsters on page 254 give you all you need to improvise during your 13th Age game. You can download a 13th Age Campaign Cheat Sheet as well. There is also a Fate Core Cheat Sheet and good cheat sheets contained in the Dungeon World Sheets when running those systems.
Whatever system you choose, a single page reference of the rules you'll need to look up the most will help you improvise during the game and keep the game running smooth.
Random lists are a great way to generate ideas, either by giving your mind something to skim for ideas or to actually roll against. The right mix of random tables can build out entire rooms, entire dungeons, or even entire adventures with just a few dice rolls. The best currently published source of random tables I've found comes from the Pathfinder Gamemastery Guide. It has over 115 tables of all different sorts, from random monster encounters to the names of bars and inns. Even if you don't play Pathfinder, it's a great source for generating ideas.
The Lazy DM Cheat Sheet is another source of random tables for your game. It's designed to fit on two sides of a single sheet of paper and give you enough inspiration to flesh out an entire game should the need arise.
Of course, one of the best types of random lists are lists of NPC names. Yet Another Fantasy Name Generator is a great resource for generating random NPC names. Just remember to write them down on your campaign worksheet as they come up during your game so you'll remember to bring them in later.
If you're looking for a source of hundreds of random names, traps, and mundane magic items, consider downloading and printing the random names, traps, and magic items PDF.
While not directly useful as a lazy DM aid, published adventures are excellent sources of professionally designed materials you can scrape and re-use in your own games. Dungeon maps, room descriptions, colorful NPCs, and town locations are all often published in old adventures. The website D&D Classics is a great source of old-school D&D adventures running about $5 a pop. When you have them in hand, make sure you read up on converting adventures. As a source for large detailed dungeons, it's hard to beat pre-published adventures.
Poster maps are probably the most efficient way to display a detailed tactical area without having to do a lot of work. The best choice in poster maps right now are Paizo Flip Maps. At about $10 to $20 a pack, you get some highly reusable yet detailed battle-spaces for your games. Follow a tip from Dave the Game and start with your maps first to get an idea for the type of adventure you might want to run.
A blank poster map is one of the more valuable aids in this area as well. Put a large acryllic sheet over it to flatten it out and it makes for a fantastic and flexible play surface for your game.
There's another aid that some GMs are finding quite useful to draw out the imaginations of players—Rory's Story Cubes. These childrens' imagination toys have various pictures on every side of the dice. Rolling three or four of them together can fire off the imagination into building an interesting background for a previously unknown NPC. Keeping some story dice on your table can be a great way to get your players to begin adding their own parts of the story to the whole.
Start with this simple exercise. When the PCs defeat a humanoid foe, give them some story dice, have them roll them, and then have them describe the background of the foe. What they come up with may be a pile of humorous bullshit but it might just fire off a thread to weave back into the adventure.
Giving your players some story dice and having them work in strange tales is a great way to get the players to think outside of their character sheets. It gives them a way to think and build into the larger story going on. It also gives you a break for a minute or so as you shift the creative load to your players for a little bit.
What you choose NOT to add to your lazy DM kit is just as important as what you throw in. Like keeping our DM brain attic clean, the tools we pick should all add to the fun of our game, otherwise they're getting in the way. Trim down your choice of random lists. Pick just the best monster manual to keep on hand during your game. Streamline your campaign worksheet and choose only the most helpful mechanics cheat sheets. When you have it ready, you'll have a clean package of tools to help you build fantastic worlds woven with deep evolving story threads. Start building your lazy toolkit today!

Clifford D. Simak was one of the favorite science fiction authors of my youth. Though he never quite achieved the fame of an Asimov or a Clarke or a Heinlein, I always felt he was one of the best practitioners of the craft. His work had a humanity that was absent from most of the other SF being published in his time.
Simak is undoubtedly best known for his Hugo Award-winning novel Way Station and his International Fantasy Award-winning City, but he wrote many superlative books. One of which is They Walked Like Men.
The Walked Like Men is in the long tradition of aliens-invading-the Earth story. I think every writer in the genre used the plot at least a time or two. Simak's story is unique in that the conquerors did not come bearing weapons, but instead came buying. Buying our property right out from under our noses.
The novel starts out rather like a Fredric Brown mystery. A seasoned, hard-drinking reporter is on to a strange series of events. People are finding themselves homeless. Revered businesses are shutting down. This is not necessarily abnormal, but it is reaching epidemic proportions. The odd thing about it is, the new owners appear to wish to do nothing with their acquired properties. Odder still, not only is the reporter interested in the weird events, the events seem to be interested in him.
I read They Walked Like Men when I was a teen and I remember telling people that it was about bowling balls taking over the planet. I had a reputation for being weird and I didn't mind cultivating it. The aliens in They Walk Like Men really do walk like men, but in their real form they resemble nothing so much as bowling balls. That sounds silly, but it's really quit effective.
As the novel proceeds it gradually segues from a suspense yarn to a full-fledged action novel in the manner of Heinlein's The Puppet Masters or Finney's The Bodysnatchers.
Clifford D. Simak was a down-to-Earth storyteller and he wasn't one for too many stylistic tricks or metaphoric elements in his fiction. Yet They Walked Like Men seems like more than just a rollicking SF action adventure when it is considered from a vantage point of nearly 50 years later. The invasion in the book seems eerily similar to today's climate, when soulless beings that look like us are taking over everything with no regard to the human beings that are affected by it. Homes are taken and families are displaced with heartless greed. Once treasured stores are assimilated by faceless corporations as if by The Blob. Beloved family restaurants can't compete with The Golden Arches, The Border and other hideous replacements for human dining.
I know that a cigar is sometimes just a cigar, but I think Simak was on to something long before most others were. That his beloved America was going to be transformed into a plastic dystopia that mocks the very idea of individuality. This kind of satire became commonplace decades later, such as with Bentley Little's The Store.
Find a copy of They Walked Like Men and read it for the fun adventure that it is. Or read it as a cautionary tale. Better yet, get it for both reasons.
It's important that we keep up with the new genre books being published and to support the hard-working writers that are trying to earn a living. But it's equally important that we pan the rivers of the past for the nuggets of gold that lie there waiting to be rediscovered. You won't find much better imaginative fiction than what Clifford D. Simak gave the world.

Thanks Thomas for your answer. I think my problem is a design issue. Although the vehicle is designed for Canadian use and meets that, the fact that vehicles do cross border either temporarily or permanently, it then become a safety issue. If my navigation system is active. There's no way for me to know the speed I'm going other than convert mentally KPH to MPH. Isn't that a safety issue to be considered?

We're planning on wearing it throughout the last weeks of Summer before carrying it into Fall with a healthy dose of blazers and ankle boots.

This set is incredibly easy to install, it's pretty much plug in and go. At 37" the screen appears much larger, I believe this is because the speakers are situated under the screen. It is mounted upon a sturdy stand and has survived many a scrape with my toddler! Despite it's large base, the set remains stylish. The set is fairly easy to lift and position. although I have mine sitting on a traditional tv stand and not on a wall bracket.
The picture quality is of a high standard, clear and precise as is the sound - this does not distort at high levels .
Now for the technical information!
Aspect Ratio 16:9
Max. Resolution 1366 x 768
Display Colour 16.7 Million
Dot Pitch(H x V,mm) 0.519 x 0.519
Contrast Ratio 1000 : 1
Brightness 500 Cd/m2
Response Time 8 ms
HDMI input x2
PC Input
Composite video input RCA x1
VGA input D-Sub 15-pin x1
SCART input/output 21-pin x2
Vesa Mount 200 x 200
The ability to hook up your pc/lap top to the set is invaluable. As I don't have Sky+ I watch many programmes via I Player, 40D. There is no deterioration in picture or sound quality.
The remote control is user friendly and the set comes with easy to understand instructions. I purchased this set in 2007 and have not experienced any problems.
The set costs far less than comparable lcd tv's on the market and has all the features I require for viewing.
My purchase was £399.00, this included free overnight delivery (purchased From Ebuyer - at the time I could not find this product any cheaper - I have not compared prices of late, so it may be advisable to shop around).
It can not be beaten in terms of price, quality and ease of use. Highly recommended.


text: Acclimation to drought was studied in the low-maintenance (Rosa hybrida) 'Ferdy' and 'Pink Meidiland', and the high-maintenance 'Double Delight', and 'Paradise'. All plants were acclimated to drought with five consecutive, 4-day drought cycles, followed by a 2-day irrigation recovery period after the fifth drought cycle. Low-maintenance cultivars experienced less drought stress, as evidenced by higher leaf water potential, whole plant transpiration rate (E), relative water content, and leaf conductance on the final day of drought stress cycles. Morphologically, the low-maintenance cultivars had greater leaf cuticle weight than high-maintainence cultivars had a smaller evaporative surface (smaller total leaf areas, smaller individual leaves, and reduced shoot dry weights). However, root : shoot ratios (root dry weight : top dry weight) and leaf area ratios (total leaf area : total plant dry weight) were comparable. Drought acclimation caused a greater reduction in osmotic potential of low-maintence roses, during the recovery period. Apparentaly, drought resistance in the low-maintenance roses was associated with increased cuticle thickness, reduced evaporative surface, and smaller individual leaves.

EPICS: Engineering Projects in Community Service
Undergraduates from 30 different departments within and beyond Purdue's College of Engineering form teams of eight to 20 students to research, design, prototype, and implement engineering solutions.
Purdue EPICS enrolls more than 500 undergraduates each year; teams have already delivered more than 200 projects to their community partners. All projects fall into one of four categories: human services, access and abilities, education and outreach, and the environment.
The national program, headquartered at Purdue, operates at 18 universities all over the country (including Puerto Rico) and in New Zealand. Today, peer teams at multiple EPICS sites are collaborating to address community needs on the national level. A growing international interest in EPICS provides opportunities for EPICS students to address local community needs in their own native countries as well as collaborating on projects across universities and even participating in student exchanges that provide global service-learning experiences. The 2006-07 year alone saw some 1,500 students delivering more than 300 projects across the EPICS programs.
Building on EPICS' overwhelming success, Purdue and partnering EPICS universities are reaching out to create a high school model called EPICS High, which launched this past spring in 28 schools across five states. "I wasn't thinking of engineering at all but wanted to do the project," says one Bedford (Indiana) North Lawrence High School girl who's participated in the program. "After I got into it, I found electrical engineering fun."

Washington & Jefferson's Traynor back on track in record time
Injury is the worst nightmare of any athlete, but North Hills graduate Brittany Traynor trudged through with no complaints.
After straining her hamstring in December, the Washington & Jefferson freshman exceeded everyone's expectations on the track.
Traynor missed the first two indoor track meets and ran her first Jan. 25 at the Youngstown State Invitational in Ohio. The now-healthy runner placed 14th in the 60-meter dash featuring competitors at all NCAA levels. Traynor crossed the line at 8.26 and recorded a new W&J indoor track record.
"I was just thinking about crossing the finish line as soon as I could. I was just really excited to run again," said Traynor, 19, of Ross Township. "It was all I could think about."
The previous record was set by Kelli Gee in 2007 at the Kent State Golden Flash Gala with a time of 8.38. Gee was a senior at the time and one of the best track and field athletes to pass through Washington & Jefferson.
If that wasn't impressive enough, Traynor went on to break her own record at Mt. Union's Jim Wuske Invitational on Feb. 2. She ran 60-meter dash in 8.20 for a first place finish. Traynor also took a pair of second-place finishes in the 200-meter dash, with 27.76, and the 4x200 medley relay.
"There is a ton of potential there because this is only her second collegiate race," W&J head coach Shawn Marek said. "We are expecting some really great things. I won't be surprised at all if at Kent State (coming up), she'll break her old record again. She's finally started to hit training full stride."
The Presidents will return to competition at the Kent State Tune-Up on Saturday, where Traynor is expected to qualify for the Eastern College Athletic Conference championships. An 8.10 is required to compete in the 60-meter dash. That competition is set for March 1 and 2 in New York City.
Marek said he thinks that the championships will set Traynor up for a successful outdoor season and possibly to achieve her ultimate goal — nationals.
"We do goal sheets at the beginning of the season, and she had that on her goal sheet," Marek said, "to qualify for nationals. As a freshman that's a pretty tall order. I know she can do it. I think we'll get pretty close this year, and if we don't do it this year, we'll get it next year. I know she'll keep working hard and get herself to achieve it."
Traynor has the work ethic and personality of a successful sprinter. She spent hours at a time aqua jogging and rehabbing and set an example for her teammates before competing at the Division III level.
For outdoor competition, Traynor will try to reach nationals while competing in the 100m, 200m, 4x100 relay and, occasionally, the 4x400 relay. For her, there is only one way to get there.
"I have to work more on my weight lifting and stuff like that because it helps you get stronger," Traynor said, "It all comes down to working hard at practice."

A doctor has called for further education to drive Botox "cowboys" out of Epping Forest after a rise in botched treatments.
Doctor Mark Holmes, of Al-Fa Perio Clinic in Buckhurst Hill, has said he has seen an increase in the number of women with asymmetrical eyebrows and swollen lips after taking cheaper options for potentially harmful beauty proceedures, such as Botox and dermal fillers.
The doctor, who has been working in the industry for 13 years, says he is now called by up to four women a week for help to rectify problems caused by poorly administered treatments.
He said: "One girl from this area came to me after going to a Botox party.
"She wasn't going to have anything done, but alcohol was being served and she was egged on by her friends. She had a filler in her lips.
"They were so big that she had to call in sick to work. She came to me and I had to dissolve the product from her mouth.
"I have seen people with asymmetry, people with an eyebrow that has dropped.
"People need to be educated so that we can drive the cowboys out of Epping Forest."
Dr Holmes believes the problems are caused by beauticians and nurses taking courses, but not being taught about the complexity of the human face.
He said: "If you are going to have it done, and there are many good people in the district, make sure you check the product. Botox is a trademark name.
"Ask about risks, if they tell you there are none then do not get it done. Make sure you fill out a consent form.
According to the doctor treatment should take around 40 minutes and should include a full assessment.
