Ted Montgomery writes an exclusive column for USATODAY.com
Mouths Off during the NHL season. During the NHL
lockout, he is writing Hockey Rewind, a biweekly review of
two NHL franchises. Montgomery is the author of four
hockey books and has been an avid hockey fan since first rooting
for the Detroit Red Wings and Toronto Maple Leafs as a boy in suburban
Detroit. He is the media relations director at Oakland University
in Rochester, Mich.
There's plenty to talk about. Hockey has a rich and storied past, and in the hustle and bustle to cover the present day, we often don't have time to look at how the NHL got to where it is today.
Each week I'll pick two teams at random. This time, we'll take a look at the Calgary Flames and the Ottawa Senators. I look forward to your feedback.
So, let's rewind the tape. Welcome to the latest installment of Hockey Rewind.
ATLANTA/CALGARY FLAMES (Atlanta 1972-80; Calgary 1981-present)
Franchise notes: The Atlanta Flames entered the league in 1972 and were a relatively successful expansion team, missing the playoffs in just two of their nine seasons in Atlanta.
The Calgary Flames were born on May 21, 1980, when the first hockey experiment in Atlanta ended unceremoniously. The Calgary Flames were one of the NHL's most successful franchises for 16 years, missing the playoffs just once in that time and winning a Stanley Cup.
Beginning in the 1996-97 season, the Flames missed the playoffs for seven straight seasons before making a miraculous but ultimately failed run at their second Cup last season, proving — to the astonishment of the hockey firmament — that a small-market team can actually excel in today's NHL.
Inaugural season: 1972-73
Number of years in the league: 33
Number of times in the playoffs: 22
Final appearances: Three
Stanley Cups: One
Best season: 1988-89 (54-17-9, 117 points)
Worst season: 1972-73 (25-38-15, 65 points)
Number of coaches: 14 (including Al MacNeil twice. MacNeil is the only coach in NHL history to have as many as 20 years between coaching gigs with the same team).
Best coach: Terry Crisp (1987-90)
Worst coach: Greg Gilbert (2001-2002)
Best captain: The Flames employed an interesting system of rotating captains in the 1980s. From 1983 until the end of the decade, the Flames' captains were Lanny McDonald, Jim Peplinski and Doug Risebrough, alternately during the same seasons, with Tim Hunter sharing the load during the Stanley Cup�winning season of 1988-89. This was the heyday of the Calgary captain, as each played an integral role in the franchise's most successful era.
Worst captain: Jean Pronovost in 1979-80.
Best trade: The Flames have made two outstanding trades that have significantly aided the team's fortunes.
The first occurred on September 6, 1988, when the Flames acquired Doug Gilmour, Mark Hunter, Steve Bozek and Michael Dark from St. Louis for Mike Bullard, Craig Coxe and Tim Corkery. It's impossible to overstate the lopsided nature of this trade. Bullard was a one-dimensional player, Coxe was a thug with no discernible hockey skills and Corkery was a non-entity. Gilmour was the glue that brought an already good Flames team together. He had a great first season in Calgary and scored 22 points in the 22 games it took the Flames to win the Cup that year. Bozek and Hunter also made contributions to the Cup run.
The second great trade the Flames made was the December 19, 1995 deal in which the Flames received the No. 1 pick in the 1995 draft, which turned into Jarome Iginla, and Corey Millen from Dallas for Joe Nieuwendyk. Nieuwendyk undoubtedly helped the Stars, but Iginla, 11 years younger than Nieuwendyk, has come into his own as perhaps the NHL's most dominant all-around player.
Worst trade: Conversely, the Flames made a huge mistake when they traded the aforementioned Doug Gilmour to Toronto on January 2, 1992. The Flames received a paltry package of Gary Leeman, Alexander Godynyuk, Jeff Reese, Michel Petit and Craig Berube, for Gilmour, Ric Nattress, Jamie Macoun, Kent Manderville and Rick Walmsley. Gilmour and Macoun helped the Maple Leafs get to the conference finals in 1993 and Gilmour had five productive years in Toronto, where he enjoyed cult status among the Toronto faithful. Meanwhile, the Flames began their slow simmer into incompetence.
Best first-round draft pick: Al MacInnis in 1981.
Worst first-round draft pick: Miles Zaharko in 1977.
Loves to play: Vancouver (102-61-33-1)
Hates to play: Montreal (28-52-15-0)
Ten best players: Al MacInnis, Gary Roberts, Joe Nieuwendyk, Theoren Fleury, Joel Otto, Jarome Iginla, Mike Vernon, Jim Peplinski, Gary Suter, Kent Nilsson.
Franchise notes: The Senators entered the league in 1992 and promptly became the league's patsies. They averaged just 12 wins in their first four seasons in the league. They made news around the league by drafting two players — Alexandre Daigle and Alexei Yashin — who sucked up a lot of the team's financial resources, and never really delivered the expected goods.
Since the '96-'97 season, they have made the playoffs in eight consecutive seasons, but have repeatedly followed up outstanding regular seasons with stunningly lackluster playoff showings.
Inaugural season: 1992-93
Number of years in the league: 13
Number of times in the playoffs: Eight
Final appearances: None
Stanley Cups: None
Best season: 2002-03 (52-21-8-1, 113 points)
Worst season: 1992-93 (10-70-4, 24 points)
Number of coaches: Four
Best coach: Martin (1996-2004)
Worst coach: Dave Allison, for part of the 1995-96 season.
Best captain: Daniel Alfredsson (1999-present)
Worst captain: Gord Dineen (for a part of the 1993-94 season)
Best trade: Getting Bill Muckalt, Zdeno Chara and the Islanders' first pick in the 2001 draft (Jason Spezza) for the perpetually underachieving (and overpaid) Alexei Yashin. Chara led the league in plus/minus last season, and Spezza will be a star for years. Yashin will play out the string, and will probably get traded a couple more times in his career.
Worst trade: The March 11, 2003 trade in which the Sens acquired Bryan Smolinski from the Los Angeles Kings for young defenseman Tim Gleason. Gleason should be a very good player, while Smolinski is on his last legs.
Best first-round draft pick: Marian Hossa in 1997.
Worst first-round draft pick: Alexandre Daigle in 1993.
Loves to play: Atlanta (13-2-2-3)
Hates to play: Pittsburgh (14-30-9-1)
Ten best players: Daniel Alfredsson, Wade Redden, Alexei Yashin, Radek Bonk, Marian Hossa, Patrick Lalime, Magnus Arvedson, Shawn McEachern, Chris Phillips, Andreas Dackell.

I was riveted to this NPR report about the value of reading to kids yesterday.
The discussion involved educators and parents and the widely-held belief that reading to children helps kids learn to read. Surprisingly, according to new research, all the reading in the world, while great for building a child's vocabulary, doesn't necessarily cultivate a child's ability to read if that child isn't tuned in to what's on the page.
The problem with reading to children, in and of itself, is that it doesn't necessarily demand that the child pay attention to the written words.
Education researchers performed an eye-tracking study to learn more about what happens when a child sits in his parent's lap to read a book.
"What they would do is that they would put a child on their parent's lap, and then they would use some special equipment that allows them to pinpoint exactly where the children are looking at any given moment in time," says Shayne Piasta, a professor at Ohio State University.
What they discovered was that the majority of kids ignore the print. Most children, I know this is true for my kids, especially Esther, are more interested in what the pictures are saying. She would even complain if every single detail of the story wasn't somehow illustrated. Kids were also more likely to look at their parents' faces than at the words on the page.
"Here, went the theory, was the answer: Learning to read is an incremental process; you become familiar with letters, then words; the practice of reading from left to right; and eventually you put all that together and begin to read. But if a child's attention isn't drawn to the printed word, then reading to a child won't necessarily make them more familiar with what it means to read."
So how do educators and parents apply this knowledge to their quest to help kids learn to read? Making simple changes to how you read to a child, asking questions that get a child to look at the words on the page, can make all the difference.
A research study was designed to test this theory on disadvantaged kids in pre-school settings. Two groups of pre-school teachers were given a year's worth of books to read. One group was told to read as always, and another was instructed to utilize questions intended to focus a child's attention on the written words. (Questions like, "who can find the first word on the page?" or "who can find the letter B.")
Even though most of these redirecting methods only added 90 seconds to the reading time, the result was markedly better literacy outcomes for the kids in the text-focused group.
While this little discovery isn't the be-all, end-all of childhood literacy, and my kids have every advantage compared to the kids in this study, it's interesting to consider. I, for one, in my haste to get the bedtime reading "out of the way" yes, I said that, have been guilty of speeding through books or chapters and even deflecting questions, or requests to go back and look at something.
Bedtime is invariably a rushed affair for us and, especially when the weather gets nice, quality reading time is always the first thing to get sacrificed in the name of time management.
Not only does this leave me feeling guilty, it also leaves me feeling nostalgic because this was definitely not the case when Esther, my first, was into picture books. I pine for those relaxed book-marathons– in bed or on the couch– when it was just us and a big bag of books from the public library, all other distractions be damned. Where did those days go? Maybe I should ask Steve Jobs and Mark Zuckerberg…
Do you ever take time to engage your kids in the text when you read?

Chevrolet Repair Questions? Ask a Chevy Mechanic for Answers ASAP
thank you for your question hope this helps.
It's either one of 2 things.. It's either the v ac switch on the side of the transfer case, or the encoder motor...I would lean more towards the encoder motor.
there have been means owners with this same problem.
here is how i would go repairing this problem
1. Raise vehicle safely so that you have enough room to work under the drivers side. Always use jack stands or another suitable support for your vehicle.2. Locate the encoder motor, it will be right next to the front drive shaft yoke on the transfer case. (You will notice a round plastic dust cover going sideways under the transmission)3. Have an assistant press the 4x4 button so you can listen to see if the motor even moves or if it possibly shifts the transfer case into gear, or you may hear no sound at all, motor dead.4. removed the front drive shaft for additional room. This thing is in there tight, little or no room to work. Remember to mark your drive shaft for proper re installation with a grease pen etc.5. be careful so that your bearing caps don't fall off the U joints unless your gonna to replace them.6. Use a 10mm wrench to loosen and remove the very top bolt holding in the encoder motor. Its way on top and hard to see. you should be able to remove the other two with a socket wrench. (3 in all)7. To remove the motor pushed the encoder motor farthest away from the transfer case as possible but it still wouldn't come off, but almost. Then used a large screwdriver or pry bar and preyed it forward, VERY GENTLY. If you can remove the front yoke from the transfer case you should have no problems at all.8. It pop's forward and out. Then have an assistant press the 4x4 button once more while your watching the gear inside the encoder motor. It was fidgeting back and forth so you knew immediately something in not right inside.9. Remove the wiring harness with an 8mm socket and take the motor to the bench. (no sense in laying on the ground working on it) 10. Remove the torx screws that hold the case together and pried it apart, it is pretty gummed together and there are pry points. I would recommend using the pry points as the case isnt the strongest thing ever made.11. Inside you will notice the gear coming off the motor was cracked in two but still in place, but no chance of it effectively engaging the transfer case.

Limbaugh baselessly claimed "the NSA domestic spying program" alerted U.S. officials to NYC bomb plot
On his radio show, Rush Limbaugh baselessly asserted that "the NSA [National Security Agency] domestic spying program" alerted U.S. officials to a Lebanese plot to bomb New York City's mass transit system. In fact, neither the July 7 New York Daily News article, which broke the story and to which Limbaugh referred, nor any subsequent news report, has indicated that any of the communications made in connection with the purported plot involved a party inside the United States.
On the July 7 edition of his nationally syndicated radio show, nationally syndicated radio show host Rush Limbaugh [1] baselessly asserted that "the NSA [National Security Agency] domestic spying program" -- President Bush's authorization of the NSA to intercept communications of U.S. residents without court warrants in apparent violation of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) -- alerted U.S. officials to a Lebanese plot to bomb New York City's mass transit system. In fact, neither the July 7 New York Daily News article [2], which broke the story and to which Limbaugh referred, nor any subsequent news report, has indicated that any of the communications made in connection with the purported plot involved a party inside the United States.
While there have been reports that Assem Hammoud, one of the Lebanese men arrested, has visited the United States at least once, U.S. law enforcement officials have said [3] that Hammoud's visit was considered unrelated to the New York bomb plot.
The New York Times reported [4] on July 8 that, according to law enforcement officials, "The eight 'principal players' planning the attack ... had not visited New York -- or even the United States -- to conduct surveillance." But that same day, the Los Angeles Times reported [5] that there were "some discrepancies" about whether Hammoud had been to the United States. The article noted that after FBI assistant director Mark J. Mershon stated that Hammoud had never been to the United States, and the Lebanese Broadcasting Corp. reported that Hammoud had been to New York and New Jersey "to survey possible targets," an FBI official "confirmed that Hammoud had visited the United States at least once" but stated that "we have no reason to believe it had anything to do with this plot." Moreover, none of the reports gave any indication that the communications intercepted by law enforcement involved anyone in the United States. From the Los Angeles Times:
By late Friday, there were some discrepancies about whether any of the alleged plotters had ever been to the United States. At the news conference, Mershon said the FBI believed that none of the principal players had visited the country.
But the Lebanese Broadcasting Corp. issued a report Friday saying Hammoud had traveled to New York and New Jersey on several occasions using a Canadian passport to survey possible targets.
The respected Beirut-based television station also said Hammoud was recruited into Al Qaeda in 1994 while he was in Canada.
Later, an FBI official confirmed that Hammoud had visited the United States at least once. But, the official added, "we have no reason to believe it had anything to do with this plot. So we don't see any nexus between that visit from several years ago and his activities."
The FBI official, speaking on the condition of anonymity because the investigation is ongoing, would not say whether Hammoud had entered the country on a Canadian passport. The official also would not say whether the ongoing investigation extended into Canada, which has long been considered a haven for terrorists bent on launching attacks on U.S. soil.
The Associated Press similarly reported [6] on July 9 that law enforcement officials said Hammoud's only documented visit to the United States "occurred long before authorities say the tunnel plot began to unfold":
The Lebanese man accused of masterminding a plot to destroy Hudson River train tunnels to bring death and flooding to lower Manhattan had visited the United States at least once [on] a trip to California six years ago, a federal law enforcement official said.
The official, speaking on condition of anonymity because the investigation is ongoing, said 31-year-old Assem Hammoud was in the U.S. on a legitimate visa for a brief stay, and that he was believed to have been visiting either family or friends. The visit occurred long before authorities say the tunnel plot began to unfold.
Authorities are still trying to trace Hammoud's steps during that trip but say they have no record of him going to New York. They have not ruled out the possibility that Hammoud had come to the country using different names.
The July 8 Los Angeles Times report noted that the original New York Daily News article had mistakenly stated that the Holland Tunnel was the intended target of the bomb plot: "At a press conference, authorities said the historic Holland Tunnel was not the intended target, as the Daily News had reported. Instead, they said the plot focused on bombing the commuter PATH trains."
From the July 7 edition of Premiere Radio Networks' The Rush Limbaugh Show, in which Limbaugh responded to a caller's assertion that Hammoud's arrest was "another benefit of the Iraq war." The caller stated that Hammoud's arrest "would not have happened if the Lebanese had not first pushed back on the Syrians," which they "would not have done that if we had not first attacked Iraq":
LIMBAUGH: All right, now, what was the plot? We are told -- and I'm now confused because [Sen. Chuck] Schumer [D-NY] said it was the Lincoln Tunnel. The New York Daily News, which broke this as an exclusive today, said the Holland Tunnel.
CALLER: Rush, did you realize -- well, you probably did -- the ringleader of that bomb plot in -- on the Holland Tunnel was arrested in Lebanon. That would not have happened if the Lebanese had not first pushed back the Syrians. And I guarantee you that the Lebanese would not have done that if we had not first attacked Iraq. Now, I think this is another benefit to the Iraq war.
LIMBAUGH: Yeah, the -- you call it the Khadafi affect.
CALLER: Yes.
LIMBAUGH: That's -- that's a good point, [caller]. In fact, all three of these suspects are in three different countries. This was the foreign surveillance that everybody -- the NSA domestic spying program where George Bush was spying on you and me, [caller].
CALLER: Exactly.
LIMBAUGH: It -- this was, this investigation has been under way for a full year.
CALLER: Amen.
LIMBAUGH: And these Democrats who oppose this -- they don't oppose it. They just want to use it as a political issue and say: "Bush is spying." But not one of them has suggested canceling the program.
CALLER: Well, I want to thank the president and our troops for one more benefit to that thing. Especially, New Yorkers ought to be thankful even more than anybody.
LIMBAUGH: That's an excellent point. I appreciate that, [caller]. Thank you so much.

Christians would get a lot further with their political and cultural recommendations if they were known as living examples of the good life, the life well-lived, and a morally flourishing and thus joyful community. But what is this "good life?" To begin with we should act as a community of grace, and as Christians we are uniquely positioned to demonstrate.

There are times when I feel like that I am on cloud nine and can't help but hum the theme song from "The Greatest American Hero" (you know, the "believe it or not, I'm walking on air…") 'But, then while in mid song, for no substantial reason (like being out of coffee!!! though some might argue that) my emotions take a tail spin and then I am in the Eeyore mode singing the "Gloom, Despair and Agony on me" song from Hee Haw. Now, let's apply this to our faith.

Runners faced the coldest day yet in this cross country season as they arrived at the Williamstown Invitational on Oct. 4 at Williamstown High School.
Thirty-six schools were represented by over 700 runners. Many were huddled in blankets as they waited for their race to start, and a few even ran wearing hats and gloves to stay warm.
The day began at 8 a.m. with an open 5K race with six participants.
The overall winner was 14-year-old home school student William Perkins.
The Grant County Public Library is offering patrons an opportunity to see the "Makings of a Master" now through Oct. 22.
The Kentucky Arts Council's exhibit throughout the library celebrates and explores relationships between Kentucky's master tradition bearers and their apprentices who have worked together through the Kentucky Folk Art Apprenticeship program.
During the second week of July, when most kids are on summer vacation and enjoying the pool, five Grant County 4-H members were packing up to head to Louisville for the State 4-H Horse Show.
Four area students including Summer Pauly, Saralynne McKinley, Sierra Schmitt, and Katelyn Simons competed in the Contest division. The Contest Division is comprised of four events and includes barrel racing and pole bending. One additional student, Michelle Baker, competed in the Western division which included both Western Pleasure and Horsemanship Classes.
"Then the word of the Lord came unto me," the old weeping prophet, Jeremiah, penned as he was moved by the Holy Spirit.
He quoted these words many times throughout the book, but there is something about the first time he said it that separates it from all others. It was at a young age that the presence of God bombarded Jeremiah's life, as history would place him in the late teenage years or early 20's.

Author Marianne Williamson said "you must learn a new way to think before you can master a new way to be." What you think about God will determine the kind of relationship you have with Him. If you think of God as harsh and demanding, you'll probably be afraid of God and keep your distance from Him. If you think of God as just an impersonal force in the universe, you'll likely have nothing but a vague relationship with Him. But if you think about God the way Jesus does, you'll get an accurate perspective that will lead you to fall in love with Him.

Becky G: A Peek Inside My Purse
If we had to describe Becky G's style in one word, it would be "fresh." Energetic and ever-glam, it seems the singer shares our sentiment. In fact, she even has "fresh" airbrushed on the side of her bright orange bag!
We were so excited when Becky gave us a look inside her purse. Although she told us she likes to keep things inside the bag simple, Becky always carries the essentials, like a phone charger.
Check out what items occupy the inside of Becky's purse below.
What's Inside Becky G's Purse?
1. I always have my wallet because I don't like when my money or credit cards are just lingering around in there, so wallets help with that.
2. Headphones are a must, when I'm bored or have moments where I just wanna shut off the world — I throw them on.
3. Makeup! You can always find make up in my purse! It's usually the basics like eyeliners/mascara, a powder cover up, and my Cover Girl Smoochies, just in case I have an emergency touch up or don't have any makeup on and wanna fresh'n up!
4. Sunglasses. Those def come in handy for the summer.
5. Last but not least my PHONE! I always have my phone on me…
6. … and my charger of course, just in case of a low battery emergency, for my phone or a friend.

Mt. Juliet home burns in early morning blaze
By PATRICK HALL
Early Tuesday morning, a home located at 2525 S. Mt. Juliet Road was severely damaged in a fire with an unknown cause according to Wilson County Emergency Management Agency Director John Jewell.
Jewell said WEMA received the call about 2:25 a.m. this morning and noted that a neighbor "heard an explosion or a loud noise" before seeing the home next door already heavily engulfed in the flames. WEMA personnel from Stations 3, 4 and 5 responded to the scene and Jewell said a tanker truck from Station 1 in Lebanon also responded.
"The house was a total loss, it was about 70 percent involved," Jewell said.
No one was home at the time of the fire and Jewell said no one was injured in the blaze. He said they managed to save some out-buildings and removed a vehicle from the carport.
The fire's cause is unknown at this time and Jewell said that is under investigation by the Wilson County Sheriff's Department and the State Fire Marshal's Office.

Upcoming Adobe Video events
Just a quick reminder that Adobe is having a road show tour. People constantly tell me that they really enjoy them, so I hope you'll consider joining us. We're hitting eight cities and if the event is successful we hope to do more. Not only will Adobe be there, but a ton of our partners including many of our close friends at Blackmagic, Matrox and AJA. In addition, you can see the new Quadro CX board up close which is a dynamite accelerator for several Adobe applications.
Here's the details: Adobe CS4 Roadshow
One other reminder is that there will be a Sony virtual tradeshow on January 15th. It certainly sounds interesting and if you've got the time, stop in for a bit and chat with Adobe people online to answer any questions you have. After it's done, I would really like to get some comments on it via this post or my other post on this
Here's how to register for the Sony show: Register

This is one of those Amazonian feats which prove the valour of the women of other days.
There were no resources for them in emotions of valour or patriotism.
Of course the love of courtesy, valour, and learning were deeply rooted in the age, or the womans sympathy could not have existed.
On this occasion I was decorated by the Italian Commander for valour.
Where should strength and valour blossom, Land of rocks, if not in thee?
Give a proof of your valour, of your intrepidity, of your courage!
He could wait until his valour, somewhat cowed, should return again, and imbue him with a fresh impulse.
To prove my valour, gracious lord, since thou didst desire it.
The Hindu supplies the brains and the Muhammadan the valour.
Still discretion might have been the best part of valour in this case.
c.1300, "value, worth," from Old French valour "strength, value, valor," from Late Latin valorem (nominative valor) "value, worth," from stem of Latin valere "be worth, be strong" (see valiant). The meaning "courage" is first recorded 1580s, from Italian valore, from the same Late Latin word. (The Middle English word also had a sense of "worth or worthiness in respect of manly qualities").

Intimate Strangers
* * * * out of four, 2004, Paramount, rated R, no extras, $30
Ever since Monsieur Hire (1989) and The Hairdresser's Husband (1990), French director Patrice Leconte has been synonymous with a good time at the movies. This one is a contemporary psychological drama that delivers on a superb hook. A troubled woman (Hire star Sandrine Bonnaire) bares her soul to the man (Fabrice Luchini) she assumes to be a therapist. This is a great character-driven story based on credible emotions, and it works through to its delightful wrap-up. It's among the best of 2004.
Open Water
* * *, 2004, Lions Gate, rated R, $27
This thriller with an itsy-bitsy budget flushes that overrated Blair Witch Project 20,000 leagues under the sea. Unknowns Blanchard Ryan and Daniel Travis play edgy vacationers who are left behind while scuba diving. It does not take the sight of many fins for the filmmakers to milk suspense or for the recriminations to begin. This is so intense that, as with a lot of edge-of-your-seat movies, I couldn't wait for it to end. In this case, that's a compliment.
Danny Deckchair
* * *, 2004, Artisan, PG-13, $27
This Australian froth has to have been inspired by a real-life incident in 1982 in Los Angeles. An unhappily employed Sydney construction worker (Rhys Ifans) finds his own way to lift his life when he attaches helium balloons to his deckchair, takes off and crashes hundreds of miles to the north. Below is a local traffic cop played by Miranda Otto, who is almost as ethereal as she was as Eowyn in The Lord of the Rings. The movie is mild, but at its best it brings to mind Bill Forsyth's marvelous Local Hero.
Also on the menu
•Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy (2004, DreamWorks, R-rated and unrated versions, $30). Will Ferrell is a funny guy, and Christina Applegate is an underrated foil, so you might think that yet another comedy about TV news might deliver. This one has so many plot detours that you almost begin to think the scattershot approach is the point. But ultimately, the picture plays like an engaging mess. We're back in the '70s, and who better than the great Fred Willard to play a news-show producer who is trying to teach his white-male on-air staff about this trendy new word: "diversity." Ferrell has spent years winging it to high ratings, but new reporter Applegate is, in contrast, competent. That she sees something in him is less explicable, but if she didn't, we wouldn't have a movie.
•Wimbledon (2004, Universal, rated PG-13, $30). The script sets up Kirsten Dunst as the bad girl of tennis but proceeds to make her not so bad. The result does not make much sense, but the game scenes made a disposable movie easy to take in theaters on a hot summer afternoon. Paul Bettany plays the fading player who falls into an unlikely shot at the crown, just as he falls into a romance with Dunst.
•Garden State (2004, Fox, rated R, $30). Every so-so movie needs a friend, and writer/director/lead Zach Braff (late of TV's Scrubs) got plenty, including a lot of critics and what appears to be a burgeoning cult. Braff plays a heavily medicated ex-TV actor on a heavy guilt trip a little too conveniently induced by his psychiatrist-father (Ian Holm). The best thing about Braff's visit home: Natalie Portman plays one of the town misfits.

Over the years, I have written a number of schedule risk analysis programs, the latest being Full Monte for Microsoft Project. From time to time, I have been asked why they never take resource scheduling into account.
There are actually two problems. The more fundamental one is that there is a mismatch between the assumptions made in resource leveling and those made in risk analysis. Most, if not all, resource-scheduling algorithms do their scheduling in some priority order, which generally favors tasks with less total float. This means that they make decisions on tasks which may be well in the future before they make decisions on earlier tasks, and they do this on the assumption that they know when these tasks will be available for scheduling (i.e. when their predecessors are complete). Risk analysis, on the other hand, is all about the fact that we cannot know this with any certainty.
(Risk+ used to take resources into account, but this was more or less by accident, since it uses the Project engine to do its analysis. For example, Risk+ would sample all the durations and pass them to Project for processing. Projects would simulate resource leveling decisions in the future, based upon these sampled durations, which, in reality, could not be known at the time…which, frankly, makes no sense.)
The other reason is more practical. The uncertainty over when tasks are available for scheduling means that the order of execution of the tasks can vary considerably (though nonsensically, given the first problem) between iterations. This results in the dates often having multi-modal distributions, and results which are very hard to interpret meaningfully.
I have been contemplating the first of these problems for a while, and have come to the conclusion that the only sensible way to deal with it would be to simulate the decisions that a project manager would make, based only upon the information he would have at the time. The simplest approach would be similar to a job-shop scheduling algorithm, in which the next job for a particular resource would be selected only from those jobs already available. A more sophisticated approach which might be applied to one or two very special resources (e.g. drilling rigs which are expensive and need to be booked well in advance) would be to make decisions based upon appropriate percentiles of when the job would be ready to start.
While all this would perhaps lead to a more realistic simulation, it would not fulfill the normal "optimization" objective of resource scheduling. But if you believe that task durations are subject to uncertainty, does this optimization really make sense?
I would be very interested to hear readers' views on this. Comments below are very welcome.

Ask a Lawyer and Get Answers to Your Legal Questions
You as a victim are protected by harassment laws, and you may require a harassment lawyer if you fall into one of the following categories: bullying, psychological harassment, racial harassment, religious harassment, sexual harassment, stalking, mobbing, hazing, backlash, or police harassment.Harassment laws like the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and its subsequent laws on harassment are what protect you.If you feel that you are a victim of harassment:1. Object to the behavior2. Keep a record that includes the behavior as well as the dates3. Consider retaining a harassment lawyer4. Report the behaviorIn CA, a civil harassment order is a restraining order available to victims being harassed by someone they do not have a domestic relationship with, such as a friend, neighbor or even a stranger.
A civil harassment order can last up to three years and may be renewed after that. There is a filing fee to apply for a civil harassment order, however that fee may be waived based on the victim's ability to pay or if the abuser has caused physical harm to the victim.
A victim can qualify for a civil harassment order if the harasser has intentionally committed a series of acts (more than one) which are frightening, annoying or harassing, and which have caused the victim substantial emotional distress. The harasser does not have to be related to the victim in any way, but the victim must be able to identify the person and find him or her to serve the papers.
A civil harassment order can order the harasser:
Violation of a civil harassment order is a crime. You can find a request for an order to stop harassment here, which should be filed with the appropriate court: http://www.courtinfo.ca.gov/forms/fillable/ch100.pdf
If I have been helpful, please click ACCEPT so I can get credit for my answer. You can still continue to ask questions after that and any further questions that you have will not be subject to any additional fees. Thank you.

i will get a restraining order from the park and the neighbor, but my question is can i sue the mobilehome park and the neighbor for slander. and yes they are harrassing us.
I apologize for not fully answering your question. I am working with many individuals and sometimes, I misread or misinterpret a question. In the future, all you have to do is come back and ask for further clarification and I, or another expert, will be happy to give it to you. Positive feedback is something we all strive for around here and we always appreciate when a customer reserves giving feedback until he or she feels their issue is fully resolved.
That being said, Pursuant to statute (California Civil Code Section 46):Slander is a false and unprivileged publication, orally uttered, andalso communications by radio or any mechanical or other means which:1.Charges any person with crime, or with having been indicted,convicted, or punished for crime;2.Imputes in him the present existence of an infectious, contagious,or loathsome disease;3.Tends directly to injure him in respect to his office, profession,trade or business, either by imputing to him general disqualificationin those respects which the office or other occupation peculiarlyrequires, or by imputing something with reference to his office,profession, trade, or business that has a natural tendency to lessenits profits;4.Imputes to him impotence or a want of chasity; or 5.Which, by natural consequence, causes actual damage.
In other words, to prevail in a cause of action for defamation, a plaintiff must establish the following:A. The defendant made a statement about the plaintiff to another person or persons;B. The statement was false and unprivileged;C. The statement falls under one of the statutory classifications (1 -5).
From the brief facts that you gave in your original post, it does not look like you would have a valid action for defamation; however, your attorney will be able to analyze your very specific fact pattern and advise you further. From what you told me above, my first impression, which I am even more sure of now, is that your action would lie in harassment, not slander.

An Apple patent (number 8024351) for a query result iteration has appeared at the US Patent & Trademark Office. Systems and methods for processing an index are described.
Per the patent, a pulse in an inverted index refers to a group of items that do not occur in any other pulse in the index. When processing a query against an inverted index in which pulses are present, the query is processed against a single pulse. The end of the pulse is determined based on the characteristics of the pulse and the linked list nodes that comprise the postings lists from which the index was generated. In some embodiments, index updates are applied to the query result obtained from a single pulse to provide an efficient and up to date query result. The inventors are John Martin Hornkvist.
Here's Apple's background and summary of the invention: "Modern data processing systems, such as general purpose computer systems, allow the users of such systems to create a variety of...| Read more »

AzaSite was approved by the FDA in April 2007 for the treatment of bacterial conjunctivitis and Inspire launched AzaSite in middle August 2007.
Inspire is also developing advanced products for ophthalmologic disorders with Allergan, the lead candidate being INS365 (Prolacria). The company has several collaborative agreements, and selectively retains commercializing and marketing rights in them. Its leading pipeline candidate is Denufosol for cystic fibrosis (phase III). Inspire recently added another candidate to its pipeline an intranasal dosage form of epinastine (phase II) for the treatment or prevention of rhinitis. In November, 2006, Inspire and FAES Farma, S.A. signed a licensing agreement for the U.S. and Canadian development and commercialization of Bilastine, a phase III oral antihistamine compound for the treatment or prevention of allergic rhinitis.
Inspire generates revenue through profit splitting and royalty payments on its ophthalmologic disorder products Restasis and Elestat with Allergan. It also receives payments for the achievement of contractual milestones by its collaboration partners, which are recognized over the remaining period of its research and development (R&D) commitments under the relevant contracts. From the third quarter of 2007, we believe AzaSite should make a meaningful contribution to the company's top line. The company employs roughly 200 professionals.

I have a soekris hanging on the wall in the basement. Not very
amenable to connecting a serial cable since I don't have a portable
computer with a serial connection.
I was wondering about the feasability of connecting an old Hayes
external modem to the serial console on the soekris and then
connecting to it via a phone line and modem on the computer. Can
anybody tell me if this is possible or give me tips on configuration?
I could run a dedicated phone line between the two modems (preferred)
or connect them through the pbx if necessary.

Two years into an Arctic expedition, they were forced to abandon ship a thousand miles north of Siberia.
In July, the pair was caught while on an expedition at The Maryland Historical Society.
The young prince was at the central London square for the media launch of the expedition.
It's like they were actually on the expedition, except I didn't actually make the crew sing a song about me.
Companies across the country donated supplies and equipment to assist him with his expedition.
The expedition was bound up into the mountains,—so it was said.
If the expedition fails to get a good catch, the fault is laid to the men.
This expedition fatally sapped the strength of the Athenian empire.
The expedition had been poorly outfitted and undermanned from the beginning.
The expedition was under the command of Eurymedon and Sophocles.

Mumford and Sons - tshirt design contest
clap clap footstomp footstomp *song ends
I've never listened to a whole song by them. Eh.
Yeah. I only listen to ancient icelandic scenic-wave MK Ultra hair gazer zit pop.
That description, mixed with Taz's, sums up every song on both their albums.
thanks for the info
I went to one of their Gentlemen of the Road stops last summer. It was super great... except for them. We left halfway through their show. It's just... boring. But the other bands on the ticket (Dawes, Haim, Gogol Bordello, among others) were fantastic. I'd recommend going to a Gentlemen of the Road camping stop and skipping the Mumford part.
There. I've talked about me. Now to the post: made me laugh.
Welp...seeya later!
