And getting Richardson clicking and protecting Luck isn't improving the offense?

If a quarter and half is the differece between our offense getting better then we're ****ed, and reps against the Texans doesn't really do much for preparing for the Chiefs or whoever...

If the Colts end up tied with the Patriots the Colts will have the tiebreaker with the better record in conference. That's actually somewhat possible.
Luck is simply never going to reach his potential with this coaching staff.
Times like this I wish I lived back in Northern Indiana because we'd get both games
Good win they beat a team they were supposed to handily however against any other team having more FGs than TDs would be disconcerting.
Definitely. Too many unfinished drives. On D, Keenum and their O made us looks halfway decent.
I'd rather die standing up than live on my knees.

Nobody really compares the two unless its the playoffs and Eli has two rings regardless the Giants as a whole are just bad it goes beyond Eli.
He's better than this but he's not elite either.
Lil Manning needs a run game to complement him to succeed his big bro doesn't need such a thing.
I like the overall accomplishments in this game. We had some ups and downs.
Our lines (both) seemed to struggle again. They started off with some big holes for DBrown, and then within about 1 drive, got figured out by the Texans D. TRich still managed to eventually find some room in the second half. 100 total yards and a TD on the day, and I bet few people talk about him... but the early struggles today were largely o-line dysfunction. Like I said, after that first drive, the holes disappeared.
The o-line was inconsistent... winning some plays, losing some. It's still better than the previous month of getting owned in every facet of the game on every single snap. Today, the o-line started and finished strong, but had about 2 quarters of mediocrity in between.
Luck looked pretty good today, despite only having 180 yards and a pick. He was managing the game, mixing things up, keeping Houston off-balance.
I like Griff, always have. I hope he finds a spot on this team and stays healthy. If anything, he's a decent backup. I think he could possibly be a good slot receiver in this league.
Bethea seemed to get some mojo back today, and so did Vontae. Darius Butler is a better receiver than DHB. Our secondary was bad last week. They turned things around a bit this week.
There are two types of quarterbacks in the league: Those whom over time, the league figures out ... and those who figure out the league.
This game didn't really change anything for me. The Colts did what an 8-5 team at home should do to a team that has lost 11 in a row and just fired their head coach. I predicted a loss so the end result was pleasantly surprising I admit.
Thank God for the backloaded division schedule this year. All 4 of the Colts' post bye wins have come against either Houston or Tennessee.
The Colts would be screwed if they played in a bad division. They are just super fortunate that they happen to play in one that is awful on an off-the-charts level. The quarterbacks in this division have been Gabbert/Henne, Locker/Zach Galifianakis, and Schab/Case Keenum. I don't buy this defensive performance today at all, just like I didn't when we beat up on the Titans a couple weeks ago. Our defense can look like the 85 Bears at home against quarterbacks who don't belong in the NFL, but they will get lit up next week in Kansas City, just like they got drilled in Cincy.
We had the opportunity in the second half to continue to work on things within the passing game, but we threw in the towel because we were in a hurry to get out of there. Aside from when Polian forcibly made the team quit, you would never see anything like this in the Manning era. We always kept playing and scoring so that we could perfect our craft. There are still so many things that need improved in this offense that we could have worked on against a decent Texan defense, but we were content with getting off the field as quickly as possible. Such a cowardly mentality is why Luck will never reach his max potential with this coaching staff. This will be a parallel to Manning/Jim Mora in that Mora was a decent coach to get Manning started, but it took a better coach in Dungy for the team to take it to the next level.

I think you guys are making a mistake writing off our chances in the playoffs. Easy to do after the month we just had, but quite a few of the recent SB winners had similar lulls and got it together in the last few games. The AFC is wide open, it's who enters the playoffs hot, and right now, no one is. I could see the Colts with a head of steam.

completely agree. No front runner, clear favorite in the AFC. Both Denver and NE give up a lot of points. It seems like its Peyton Manning's year, but I don't trust him in the playoffs
Being unable to close out a game in which you have a comfortable lead in the 4th Q = Pulling a Frank Vogel
If we can put up a good performance against a good KC team on the road next week, then maybe I'll start to become a believer. But all we've done since the Denver game is beat up on the putrid division teams while getting massacred by everyone else (St. Louis, AZ, Cin). Unfortunately, Houston/Ten/Jax won't be our opponent in the playoffs.

That's a tall order, Soll. All I'm looking for is key developments in parts of our game.... looking for further improvements in o line.. run game... getting some receivers involved.... a variety in play-calling. I sort of expect to lose against KC. If we win, all the better. If we lose, I won't be too upset. I will be concerned, though, if it's a slaughter.

Right, notice how I said "put up a good performance" instead of win. I think we are looking for the same things next week: Further improvements in the offense, and the defense putting up a solid performance against a solid opposing offense. If they play a reasonably solid game and still lose, then I won't be too upset and in fact will be encouraged for our wild card prospects at home. I just don't want to see anything like we saw against the Rams/Cards/Bengals. The fact is that since the Denver game, this team has looked absolutely awful against any team that isn't in the division.
I think that no matter what, this team has a solid chance to win the wild card game at home with the fans behind us. I remember when the 7-9 division winning Sehawks beat the defending champion Saints a few years ago, so the Colts winning a wild card game wouldn't be surprising and in fact I actually think it has a very good chance of happening. But when it comes to the divisional round, I don't think that this team has much of a chance. I'd love nothing more than to be proven wrong.
The reason I give the Colts so little chance in the playoffs is that they will likely face the Chiefs- a dominant defensive and running team. If they were playing Miami or Baltimore I'd give us a 50/50 chance to win.
In the playoffs, though, I tend to go with other factors.... who has the better quarterback... which team moves the chains... which team is executing better, who's at home. That's my problem with KC... they don't have a QB that I consider better than Luck, and it will be in Indy. I'm not entirely sold on KC.
There are two types of quarterbacks in the league: Those whom over time, the league figures out ... and those who figure out the league.
I can respect that- KC is struggling against Oakland as we speak.
Semi-realistic potential playoff seeding:
1) Broncos
2) Bengals
3) Colts
4) Pats
5) Chiefs
6) Dolphins
Colts would win a tiebreaker with the Pats due to having a better record against the AFC. Bengals have the tiebreaker with the Pats and Colts.
And the top 3 teams have all had recent losses. It's really wide open. And Indy, in my opinion, got their lull out of the way, and like I said... has nothing to lose in these final two games except to get healthier and to fine-tune things.
There are two types of quarterbacks in the league: Those whom over time, the league figures out ... and those who figure out the league.
Who did the Bengals lose to?
They could lose tonight.
But yeah in today's NFL you can be mediocre and still win the SB having a great regular season record is worthless these days.
The NFL has seriously an awful playoff format for determining the best team, worse than college basketball by a mile in my opinion. If it benefits the Colts this year, I am all for it.

Silk Bromley Blouse in Dark Plaid
Silk Bromley Blouse in Dark Plaid is rated out of 5 by 28.
Rated 3 out of 5 by NYCarch from Beautiful but fragile Beautiful shirt, but unfortunately very fragile. The silk is so thin and sheer that it shatters extremely easily. After just two wears and one dry cleaning, the seams are already opening up and there is shattering all over the shirt. It's really sad, because this is such cool top (I have the plaid one) and is both interesting and a little flirty. Wish I could wear it all the time, but I'm afraid that the next time I wear it might be the last, because it just will not last that long no matter how gentle I am. In the future, I hope Madewell uses a higher quality silk for their shirts, one that's just a tad thicker so that they don't just fall apart after a few wears.

Rated 5 out of 5 by bababaileyy from SERIOUSLY GORGEOUS. I purchased this plaid shirt without seeing it in person. I had tried on the black one in stores and loved it so I thought i'd give the plaid one a try. I was pleasently surprised! It is so classy and pretty. It is sheer, but looks great with a cami underneath. The plaid is not as bright as the picture shows, but you can still tell that it is patterned. The silk is beautiful and the shirt is clearly a quality item. Love it so much! I am normally a large in most shirts due to my large bust, and the large worked great!

Rated 5 out of 5 by coconicole79 from My favorite shirt I saw this shirt when it came out in December and wanted it back then. I love the colors, the sheerness, the silk, everything. I didn't get it initially due to the price but it FINALLY went on sale and I LOVE IT!!! I wore it last night with Madewell black coated jeans and stacked heel boots. The shirt is light and feels so good against your skin; I can't wait to wear it more!

Rated 5 out of 5 by SophieChen from Fun way to dress up plaid I love tartan patterns, so this top caught my eye. I love the fact that it's silk and sheer, so it can dress up an otherwise casual blouse. My husband was really impressed with this top - he thought it was really nice. I paired it with a black pair of jeans, a blank cami and a pair of blue pumps. It's a simple outfit, but the fact the shirt is silk and sheer added an extra layer of style. I think some people might experience some static cling during the winter, but I swiped the shirt with a dryer sheet before wearing it and I didn't have a problem, even with taking off and putting on my coat. I really like it and love the fit!

Rated 4 out of 5 by theskirt from Too big Trusting the "true to size" description, I bought a large as the online size chart recommended. I am average height, but the shirttail is too long and the sleeves reach all the way down to my thumbs. It is also very baggy when tucked. Wish I'd ordered a size down. With that said, it is otherwise a beautiful blouse! I love the way the sheer silk plays against my skin tone. Also the floaty and oversized qualities actually work together to create a sexy silhouette.

I spent my first six years of education in a new concept school in Canada. We did not have desks, and we did not have many walls. Classes were mixed grades with the idea that children learn at different speeds, so cross grading based on knowledge would be a good idea.
I had a lovely first six years playing, doing art, and acting in school plays. I did learn to read, but I believe that was my own impelling desire to know more than good educators.
What I didn't learn were the basics of the English language. Nouns, verbs, adverbs, sentence structure and punctuation – it is all a mystery to me. Nor did I learn basic math. When I hit grade 7 and was mainstreamed into a regular curriculum I was hit by how much I didn't know. I was however, bright enough to get by and managed to make it through the rest of school with fairly good marks.
I took an English course at local college when I was 20 to try to fill in the gaps, and learned long division when I was about 24. Unbelievable! I am still learning and trying hard to catch up on what I missed.
I hope I did better with my children, they went to regular public school and I was very involved in the day-to-day events in the school. The curriculum taught whole word reading though and I knew I had to jump in and fix that, so at home we learned phonics.
Both my children are excellent readers. I believe if you can read and comprehend what you read then you can learn anything, and you can do anything. Reading is the foundation for which everything else is built upon.
With budget cuts in the school system and over stressed teachers with classes of 30 or more, they are faced with an impossible challenge. Today's children are institutionalized from infancy in daycares and when they hit school age a great many of them have social and emotional problems that are beyond the scope of the teacher. Consequently today's children are not only being taught to the test, but also the lowest common denominator in the class. If the teacher has to spend a great deal of her day trying to keep control of the 8 or 9 discipline challenges then when is there time for teaching to the children that are hungry for knowledge? The high end student is suppressed, and is often put in the position of "helping" those less advanced.
And so we turn our heads to our government leaders as they hold the purse strings and education is definitely not at the top of the list. Shameful!

Back in the 1970s, mecha shows were spinning their wheels. Essentially extended toy ads, they would follow the typical "monster of the week" formula with perhaps the odd four or six person team of heroes battling an alien invasion, mad scientist or long-slumbering band of demons resurrected from the depths of the earth. Apart from some stand out shows such as Mazinger Z, Combattler V or Voltes, the mecha genre was largely stuck in a rut.
Things began to change in 1979 however, with the premiere of Mobile Suit Gundam. With it's character-driven stories, blurred lines between villians and heroes and robots that had at least some kind of "science" behind them. Despite being a commercial flop, it made a massive impression on the genre, much like Neon Genesis Evangelion would two decades later. Gundam would go on to become a juggernaut-like franchise, but what came in it's wake was far more interesting. Specifically one creator, Ryousuke Takahashi and the genre he pioneered, real robot. And no, I'm not talking about this guy.
It's quite easy to distinguish a real robot show from one of the earlier, super robot type shows. If the mechs are clunky, prone to breaking down and are mass produced like tanks for use in some kind of military context, chances are you've got yourself a real robot show. On the other hand, if the pilot is fond of screaming out every attack in a manner that makes their throat bleed, then you're probably watching a super robot show.
Like so many creators who made big impacts on anime and manga, Takahashi cut his teeth working in Mushi Pro under that towering figure, Osamu Tezuka. After Mushi imploded in the mid 1970s, several of it's ex-employees formed Sunrise Inc. – Takahashi soon joined his former co-workers. The massive bank of talent that Sunrise had at its disposal would go on to produce most of the shows that would define the next two decades of anime, including the Gundam saga. But the quality was really kicked up a notch when Takahashi was brought on board to produce some follow up series that were intended to ride the wave of Gundam's popularity in the early 1980s.
Whilst he did work on various mecha shows that certainly aren't in the real robot genre, such as the brilliant Panzer World Galient and the equally badass SPT LayZner – which I must talk about at some point – Takahashi is known for pioneering the real robot genre with two shows; Fang of the Sun Dougram and Armoured Trooper Votoms.
I just finished watching Dougram recently, thanks to the sterling work of X-Nebula. It's quite a ride, Dougram is really unlike any mech show I've ever seen before and I'm surprised that it's gotten basically zero exposure in the english speaking world, apart from some toys and model kits that briefly surfaced in the 1980s.
The setup of Dougram concerns one Crinn Cashim, scion of a very wealthy family who's father is the head of one of the main political power blocks on Earth. In the future, Earth has some pretty serious overpopulation and resource problems and has become extremely dependent on one of it's colony planets, Deloyer, for the majority of it's raw materials. All the various Earth factions and corporate interests are playing some shady political games in order to control the lions share of Deloyer's wealth and not surprisingly, the citizens of Deloyer would rather run their own affairs so various rebel groups have sprung up. Crinn, a very idealistic youth somewhat reminiscent of Che Guevara, encounters some young Deloyerans on Earth and is sympathetic to their cause, so much so that when he joins the Earth army and is posted to Deloyer, he hooks up with the rebels and steals a prototype mecha, Dougram, in the process.
Man, that's only the first 3 episodes or so, before we even get into the various bits of drama that befall the Cashim family and the sheer amount of backstabbing that goes on between the rebels and the Earth governments. It's not quite LoGH territory, but story wise it blows nearly every other mech show out of the water.
I'd hesitate to even call Dougram a robot show. Sure, Dougram itself is a central part of the plot but the show could nearly be described as a political or family drama that happens to have giant robots in it.
After completing Dougram, Sunrise commissioned Takahashi to produce another real robot show, Armoured Trooper Votoms. This really cemented the genre, gaining a loyal fanbase in the process. It also did away with most of the heavy military plot points that were present in Dougram, which probably made Votoms accessible to a much wider audience.
Towards the end of a centuries-long war, our main character, Chirico Cuvie – what is it with protagonists with the initials C.C.? – gets screwed over and left for dead by his army unit, a particularly nasty bunch who are out to steal as much stuff as they can in the aftermath of the war. He escapes and makes his way to a "wretched hive of scum and villainy" called Woodoo city – complete with its own band of roving biker thugs. There, he hooks up with bunch of people with questionable morals, fabulous afros and parachute pants, in order to take on his former commanders, some of whom are now in charge of Woodoo City, and find the answers to some strange things he saw right before he was betrayed and left to drift in space.
When you are used to the usual robot show protagonist, Chirico is a complete departure. Votoms continued and expanded upon, the political themes established in Dougram, being more focused and adding an element of a character driven by revenge but also the niggling feeling that there's something not quite right about his existence.
The Votom robots themselves are interesting in that we normally see only one design throughout the entire series, perhaps one may appear with a different colour scheme, but they are largely uniform. There's no "RX-ZZ-2000-Hyper-Votom", success or failure is entirely up to the skill and wits of the pilot. Also, they're prone to breaking down like a 1980s Alfa Romeo. Indeed, Chirico spends the majority of the first few episodes repairing one he found lying on a scrapheap.
After the original 52 episode run, Votoms ended up being a bigger hit than Dougram and continues to be popular to this day, with several movies, series and OVAs being produced including a spinoff show, Armor Hunter Mellowlink – the protagonist in this one is so badass he doesn't even need a robot, going head to head with Votom suits armed only with an improbably-sized gun. A Korean animation company thought Votoms was so good in fact, that they lifted the suit designs for the eh, unique, Micro Commando Diatron V!
Takahashi would go on to direct a string of mech shows throughout the 80s and on into the 90s, right up until the present day. Some of these were a complete departure from the real robot genre, such as the aforementioned Panzer World Galient. He also worked on plenty non-mecha projects with a military theme, such as the OVA adaption of the submarine drama, Silent Service and an episode of the fantastic WWII OVA, The Cockpit. In 1998, he would revisit the real robot genre with Gasaraki, which is something I actually haven't seen yet.
So what's he been up to recently? Well apart from lecturing students on the business of making a successful anime series and directing lots more Votoms, he also worked on a 13 episode adaption of his old mentor Osamu Tezuka's classic work, Phoenix, and most recently a collaboration with Space Battleship Yamato co-creator Leiji Matsumoto; Ozuma.

The Correspondence Management Solution presents unique concepts of List and Condition assets (aka modules), to enable advanced correspondence template design. These asset types allow defining rules for content inclusion, that may be quite complex by using a combination of (nested) Lists and Conditions.
Lists are a great way to group content, i.e. Texts, Images, nested Lists and Conditions (read on, if you are new to Conditions) together into logical groups. For instance, when you wish to mandate the inclusion of a Text paragraph A with Text paragraph B, you could create List, and include Texts A and B within the List, marking them as mandatory content.
Apart from this, you could also set advanced Styles on Lists, so as to specify if and how the content should be bulleted or numbered, set indentation on individual content, and much more. You could also specify advanced rules for the List to control whether the List can accept more content than what is originally assigned to it (during correspondence creation), or whether content within it can be re-ordered, and so on.
Visit the official document to see how to work with Lists using the List Editor.
Conditions are a great way to specify inclusion rules of content within a correspondence. One could define expressions on control variables (placeholders and/or Data Dictionary elements), such that appropriate content may be selected into the correspondence, based on runtime values of these variables. Content may be Texts, Images, Lists or Conditions (thereby allowing deeply nested conditions).
Conditions are defined similar to SWITCH-CASE statements. Each expression has a result content associated with it. The first expression that evaluates to TRUE is chosen as the result and the content associated with it is included in the final correspondence.
Note that you can choose to return multiple content against an expression by wrapping (grouping) them within a List and then select the List as the result of that expression.
Visit the official document to see how to work with Conditions using the Condition Editor.
As you can see, Lists can be included within other Lists or Conditions and vice-versa. Thus allowing users to create complex rules for their templates, optionally combined with styles.

Major League Baseball Statement
Major League Baseball Chief Operating Officer Rob Manfred issued the following statement today regarding comments made by Tony Clark, Executive Director of the Major League Baseball Players Association:
"Over the years, I have learned that it is a waste of time to pay attention to anonymous quotes which may or may not be genuine. Given that the regular season is well under way, it is hard to imagine that anonymous comments would have any effect whatsoever on the market for any individual player. There are many other factors that better explain the current situation faced by a very small number of free agents."

English 287. Writing for Performance
What is performance? From the wave of a hand and the way we hold utensils to our intonation patterns and use of vocabulary, what often appear to be "unconscious" behaviors actually play out as signifying performances for spectators on the stage of everyday life. Together, we will recreate, revise, expand and contextualize our own performances and "stage" them--everywhere but in the theatre. Readings in philosophy, performance theory, art history, theatre and current events will help to foster a climate of heightening and transforming the details and language of autobiography.

But we have to come up with something to sing while we're holding hands and skipping.
I'll get back to you on that one, but suggestions are welcome.
How about this one? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_uU6aYNXnUk
Good try. But no.
How about "follow the yellow brick road" Or..."we're off to see the wizard"
Wait... is that the same song?
S&M Collector
Yeah, same song. We need something a little less gay Tweak.
TT Man
Thunder smash!
Actually, no. I like this one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JsQ37_sIbDs&feature=related
Buy my wife's sea catchers
I have no idea what has transpired here on this or any other thread. But I like to play Spades. So I'm in.
Yea, well, it needs to be monkey related. Maybe we could sing that on the way INTO the woods...
The Logic of Long Distance
Cool. That makes 4 of us at least.
Thunder, Jeff, JK, and me.

While there are no shortage of bike polo videos on YouTube and Vimeo, I haven't come across anything which documents the 'sport' in any proper way. There are a couple of news reports out there which have given a bit more info than the person standing at the side of the court with a camera phone approach, but perhaps its time for a 'proper' film about bike polo?

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 4/1/2013 (1691 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
OTTAWA -- Prime Minister Stephen Harper has agreed to meet aboriginal leaders on Jan. 11, but that pledge alone will not compel three aboriginal leaders to end their hunger strikes.
Harper announced the meeting Friday morning, a day after Attawapiskat Chief Theresa Spence said a meeting proposed for Jan. 24 by the Assembly of First Nations was too far away. Spence has been on a hunger strike since Dec. 11 demanding a meeting with Harper and Gov. Gen. David Johnston. She gave a 72-hour deadline for the meeting Thursday or said there would be mass protests.
Harper didn't meet that deadline, although that no longer seems to matter.
"I'm just really overjoyed to hear that the Crown and the prime minister and the governments, that they're gonna meet with us on Jan. 11," said Spence, standing outside a teepee in the shadow of Parliament Hill, where she has been living for 25 days.
"But I'll still be here on my hunger strike until that meeting takes place."
Spence said she will attend the meeting herself, along with Manitoba Cross Lake elder Raymond Robinson and Mi'kmaq elder Gene Sock, both of whom are also refusing food in protest. Robinson began his hunger strike Dec. 12, demanding the federal government withdraw its recent omnibus budget-implementation bill that amends the Indian Act to make it easier for reserves to lease their land. He started in Cross Lake but flew to Ottawa earlier this week to join Spence.
They are living on Victoria Island, a native campsite on the Ottawa River, a few hundred metres from Parliament Hill. They are eating only herbal tea and salmon broth.
"It's been a long journey," Robinson said Friday.
"I'm going to remain here on my hunger strike until I see meat and substance both at that meeting."
But neither Spence nor Robinson could say what has to happen for them to start eating again.
"I'll worry about that when the day comes," said Spence.
Robinson said he wants a clear commitment from Harper to have an open dialogue about treaty rights.
"Not this paternalistic 'I am the chair and I'll tell you what is good for you,' " he said.
Harper answered a few questions about the situation during an announcement Friday concerning the automobile industry at a Ford plant in Oakville, Ont.
He said the meeting will be a continuation of the themes begun last year at the Crown-First Nations gathering and will specifically look at economic development, the treaty relationship and aboriginal rights.
"These are long-term challenges, but we are committed to addressing them," he said.
Harper was not directly asked what he thought about Spence and Robinson using a hunger strike as leverage but when asked about the Idle No More protest movement, he said he has no issue with peaceful protests.
"People have the right in our country to demonstrate and express their points of view peacefully as long as they obey the law, but I think the Canadian population expects everyone will obey the law in holding such protests," he said.
Dozens of protest have taken place across the country as grassroots First Nations members demand action from the government on a number of issues. Most have obeyed the law, although at least one blockade of a rail line was forced to end by the courts.
There is talk of some protesters blocking the Canada-U.S. border at some points in the coming days.
Idle No More is not directly connected to the hunger strikes, although Spence has asked the protesters to stand together with all First Nations people.
Whether Harper's olive branch also quiets the Idle No More movement is still up in the air.
Many of the complaints from the Idle No More protesters surround a number of government bills and decisions they say were made without consulting aboriginals.
Critics say that violates both treaty rights and the United Nations declaration on the rights of indigenous people, of which Canada is a signatory.

HOUSTON - Five people were injured following a crash involving a church van and a deputy constable's patrol vehicle, authorities said.
The accident happened Wednesday at 7:30 p.m. at 4006 Navigation near North York. According to authorities, deputy constables were en route to an emergency with lights and sirens on before the impact.
"(A) white panel van failed to yield the right of way, leaving the stop sign, pulled out in front of the responding unit with both lights and siren activated," said Cpl. Jarrel Caldwell with the Precinct 6 Constable's Office.
Three people in the van and two deputy constables were transported to Memorial Hermann Hospital. Authorities said the injuries were not critical.
The van had a sign that said it is from the Iglesia de Cristo Fuente de Vida.
Ronnie Kircus said he was closing his barber shop when he heard a loud bang.
"I heard a loud noise, came out, cops were out there. They were hurt in the road. I tried to help them out and proceeded to call 911. I did the best I could to help them out," said Kircus.
The man said he tried to free a trapped deputy before focusing on the church van.
"I went over to the van, checked them out to see if they were OK. They were awake so I tried to talk to them. They weren't responding too well, but they were awake and they were looking around," said Kircus.

"Fantom" project finds genetic words, reported in the Courier Mail 3 Sep 2005 and Science vol. 309, p1559, 2 Sep 2005. A group of scientists working in Australia, Japan and Greece has studied the mouse genome to see how genetic information is organised and used within cells. The project, called FANTOM, for Function Annotation of the Mouse, looked for beginnings and ends of genes and how they were arranged in the DNA strands. The mouse genome sequence was completed in 2002 but that only revealed how the DNA letters were lined up. In order to understand how living things work we need to know how their DNA letters are formed into meaningful words and sentences. David Hume of the University of Queensland's Institute for Molecular Bioscience, who participated in the study, explained: "Genes provide the code for making the building blocks of our bodies - the proteins - and the consortium has made a massive step towards identifying all of those building blocks. But the genome must also contain the code to ensure that protein building blocks are made in the right place at the right time." Christine Wells of Griffith University commented: "The information we have gathered is an annotation exercise of huge importance - we are learning the genetic language used by cells, discovering how to read the words, construct and punctuate the sentences that create a story unique to every cell, tissue and individual." Wells also commented that differences between individuals and species were in the way the genetic words were used, rather than in the order of DNA letters in the words.
Editorial Comment: This project reminds us that we cannot understand how similar or different two species are until we can not only identify individual DNA letters, but read the genome words and sentences for meaning. Since DNA is a code, small changes can make a large difference in meaning. Consider this coded information: God is now here; God is nowhere. The code letters are 100% the same yet the meaning is made 100% different by merely changing one space. In the same way, a small difference in the organization of DNA letters, especially in genes that turn other genes on and off, can make a big difference in the structure and function of a living organism. Keep this in mind when evolutionists claim that human and chimp gene letters are 95% to 99% the same. When they finally work out where all the genetic words, sentences and spaces are, Creation Research predicts they will conclude apes and people really are 100% different, which is why chimps don't read the Bible to find man was made in God's image and they were not! (Ref. genetics, information, evolution, prediction)

BRIDGWATER Town's assistant manager Nathan Rudge says there is little time for reminiscing as the Robins visit his former club Tiverton Town tonight.
Rudge spent nine years at Tiverton as a player and joined Town assistant manager at the beginning of this season having left Chippenham Town in August 2013 – but the 35-year-old former defender says his focus will be solely on Bridgwater when kick-off comes around at Ladysmead tonight.
He said: "I spent nine great years at Tiverton and it will be nice to go back and see some people there, but I won't be looking back, I'm looking to the future.
"I enjoyed my time there but now my future is at Bridgwater and I'll be doing all I can to help us be successful.
"It will be a tough game because they're a good side and all away games are tough at this level, but if we play as a team and not as individuals we'll go well."
Rudge was impressed with the Robins display during Saturday's goalless draw at Evesham but believes a draw was "a fair result."
"It was a tough game away from home against a side who have spent a bit of money and we went there and competed well – I think a draw was a fair result, but we also had one or two chances to score. On another day we could have won one or two nil."

Melbourne's City Loop finally looks set to be in the loop when it comes to full mobile phone coverage.
Australia's biggest telcos are close to getting permission from the Premier's office to roll out coverage throughout the underground network. Optus, Telstra and Vodafone customers will all benefit.
Optus head of networks Vic McClelland said a deal between the state government and the telcos was imminent.
"It is vital for people to be able to use data when they're on the train to and from work," he said. "Optus has been leading the charge in trying to get mobile access and . . . really been pushing that hard.
"We're keen to make sure we've got 2G, 3G and 4G access on those train lines and we've been quite successful in negotiating that in NSW and now we're working on that in Victoria and, yes, it is imminent."
An industry source said a deal had been due to be announced within the next four weeks until the political turmoil involving Geoff Shaw took top priority at Premier Denis Napthine's office.
A state government spokeswoman said it was "continuing to work with telecommunications providers to improve access to mobile services in the Loop, to make the Loop mobile-friendly" but declined to confirm or deny questions on timing.

Defending champions Herne Hill Harriers had to settle for third place at the South of Thames 7.5-mile cross-country championships on Saturday.
Tim Elsey was Harriers' first finisher, claiming 12th, in a competitive field at Richmond Park.
Elsey was followed by Ben Paviour, Mike Cummings, Mohammed Ismail and Simon Coombes in 15th, 17th, 22nd and 33rd positions respectively, with Basil Wallace in 35th closing the club's scoring six.
Harriers were defending champions, but competition from Tonbridge AC, the eventual winners, and Kent AC, proved too strong.
Paviour and Coombes restored some respectability by securing first and third place in the M40 age category.
Harriers women finished sixth overall, with Hayley Cook the club's top finisher in 28th.
Harriers' annual Christmas road relays were staged at Tooting Bec on Sunday, with the winning team made up of a mother and her two highly-rated daughters.
Fiona Brown clocked 12 minutes one second on the two-mile course, before passing on to 13-year-old Kate (12:16) and then 11-year-old Alex (12:25).
Alex was part of the Harriers team that won the U13 girl's team title at the English Cross-Country Relays.
Meanwhile, 12-year-old Saskia Millard, another member of the victorious girl's team, was the fastest female at the road relays, clocking 11:25.
Less than 24 hours after running at Richmond Park, Ismail was Harriers' fastest individual, stopping the clock at 9:58.

Tierney admitted that previous column on Chile was "superficial," but continued to ignore NY Times' own coverage of country's retirement system
Research ››› ››› RAPHAEL SCHWEBER-KOREN
In his May 7 column, New York Times columnist John Tierney wrote that his readers were "at least half-right" to call him a "superficial nitwit" for his April 26 column, in which he used the example of his "Chilean friend and economist" to compare Chile's privatized government pension system favorably to Social Security. Media Matters for America noted that Tierney's April 26 column ignored the Times' own extensive reporting on problems with the Chilean system. Tierney said he was postponing a discussion of "the relative risks of the Chilean and American systems" as "a question for another column," prompting Media Matters to suggest that he read the Times before writing that follow-up.
But it appears from his May 7 column that he has yet to do so.
Writing in his May 7 column that "[h]istorically, stocks have yielded returns two to three times what Social Security pays," Tierney then noted that "stocks could yield much lower returns in the future, as critics of private accounts have pointed out." But this meager acknowledgement constituted the full extent of his promised discussion of the "risks of the Chilean ... system[]" He devoted the rest of his column to warning of the "political risk" built into Social Security, since self-serving politicians control tax rates and benefits. Noting that the Treasury securities held in the Social Security trust fund will have to be repaid out of general revenues in order to pay future benefits, Tierney warned: "My pension depends on 535 politicians who will be asked to vote for steep tax increases or budget cuts that they fear could cost them their jobs." (He declined to provide an example in Social Security's 70-year history when politicians had successfully robbed beneficiaries of their rightful benefits.)
Missing altogether from his May 7 column was any mention of two additional "risks" of the Chilean system, which the Times reported on January 27:
- Exorbitant management fees: "Among the complaints most often heard here is that contributors are forced to pay exorbitant commissions to the pension funds. Exactly how much goes to such fees is a subject of debate, but a recent World Bank study calculated that a quarter to a third of all contributions paid by a person retiring in 2000 would have gone to pay such charges."
- Low participation and high costs to government: "The government continues to direct billions of dollars to a safety net for those whose contributions were not large enough to ensure even a minimum pension approaching $140 a month. Many others -- because they earned much of their income in the underground economy, are self-employed, or work only seasonally -- remain outside the system altogether. Combined, those groups constitute roughly half the Chilean labor force. Only half of workers are captured by the system."
Tierney also exaggerated the degree of public support for Chile's privatized system, writing that "Chilean workers kept mentioning to me" that despite the increased risk, "they preferred that [risk] to watching it all disappear into politicians' hands." But the Times' January 27 article quoted an unnamed government official who said: "If people really had freedom of choice, 90 percent of them would opt to go back to the old system."

Jason Wu's spring/summer 2011 show just took place in NY and gave me a little frisson of delight, not so much because of what was on the runway – nice uptown tailoring with sheer blouses for spice, petal-bedecked skirts – but because of what the stuff on the runway had to do with some other stuff off the runway.
Mr Wu, for those who might not know, is a young Asian-American designer mostly famous for being the guy who made Michelle Obama's inaugural white fantasy gown, but whom I admire because of the creative approach he has taken to funding his company. Read more

Where's the fun in that?Manjaro is Arch without the setup.
I've been using Arch on my home workstation for ages now, and I've never had an update break my system. Just make sure you read the Beginners Guide when you are installing and it's all pretty straightforward.
I think now is a good time to install Arch as it's now fully moved to systemd, there should be no big changes in the immediate future, just package updates.
Cyberpower PC, Core i5 2500 3.3 gHz, 8GB DDR3, ATI 6770 1GB, Samsung BX 2440 LED 1080p, 1 TB SATA III, 2 TB SATA III, Siduction Linux 64-bit
Arch probably has the best documentation of the 3 just in case you screw up.
Can't be matched by any other distro, but I will stick with Slackware all the same
You think that's air you're breathing now?
From what I've learned from others that use the different distro's Slackware is a good teacher and next to that Gentoo.
I've been running Debian a little over 6 months and it runs rock solid and stable!

Braddy unseats Lowe by comfortable margin
Published: Tuesday, April 16, 2013 at 7:42 p.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, April 16, 2013 at 10:48 p.m.
The dynamic of the City Commission has officially been shaken up.
Photo Galleries
On Tuesday, former two-term City Commissioner Ed Braddy unseated incumbent Mayor Craig Lowe by a comfortable margin.
Come May, the City Commission will have a new leader who opposes the current commission majority's direction on the biomass contract, on transportation issues and on economic development.
In a city where registered Democrats outnumber Republicans by a margin of more than two to one, the Republican Braddy defeated the Democrat Lowe by almost 10 percent of the vote. With all 35 precincts reporting, Braddy had 7,258 votes (55 percent) to Lowe's 6,007 (45 percent).
Braddy will be sworn in as mayor at noon on May 23. The site of the ceremony has not been announced.
Braddy attributed his victory to a campaign message of making the city affordable to residents and businesses. He also attributed victory to a network of supporters from across party lines.
"Our campaign, the entire thing, was the building of a coalition where people of many diverse backgrounds could come together with a common cause," Braddy said. "I intend to lead the same way. The burden is on the other commissioners who have already publicly declared that they are not open to other points of view. It seems to me what the people of Gainesville have said very firmly is that on these difficult issues we have, they want multiple viewpoints brought to bear so that we can actually do the work of the people."
Lowe did not comment as he left his campaign headquarters downtown and could not be reached for comment later in the evening. Shortly after the final results came in, he did call Braddy and offer him congratulations.
For Lowe, the runoff campaign included a DUI arrest and a resulting controversy. Two days after he advanced to face Braddy in the runoff, Lowe was arrested in the early morning hours of March 21 on a charge of driving under the influence.
While Lowe apologized in statements issued by his campaign, he did not answer questions about the arrest. Lowe entered a deferred prosecution agreement and a DUI Intervention Program available to first-time offenders who have no significant prior criminal or traffic history.
Lowe, a former two-term city commissioner before his 42-vote victory in the 2010 mayor's race, released a statement Tuesday night thanking his supporters and congratulating Braddy.
"While we disagreed on many of the issues confronting our city during this election, I hope that we will maintain an open line of communication as he assumes his duties as Mayor and look forward to a city government that continues to take all viewpoints into account."
While campaigning, Braddy said that differing or contrary viewpoints were not welcome under Lowe's leadership. He said the city should do away with more restrictive rules on public comment at City Commission meetings, including the requirement to sign up in advance to speak at the 6 p.m. time for general comment.
"City Hall is open to the people," Braddy told a cheering group of supporters at The Warehouse restaurant. "The people will be welcomed at City Hall."
As he spoke, a chant of "Braddy! Braddy!" rose up from the crowd.
Stepping away from the party, Stafford Jones, the chairman of the Alachua County Republican Executive Committee, said the election results were not as much a shift to the conservative as a message that voters want a more responsive City Commission on issues such as utility rates and road repair.
"I think the citizens of Gainesville in general have gotten fed up with what they see as arrogance and not listening and it's showing," Jones said. "I think it's about a willingness to listen and not act as if your political ideology is a biblical text."
In Gainesville's weak mayor system, the mayor is one of seven votes on setting policy. City Commissioner Thomas Hawkins said the election result was not a mandate from voters for the commission majority to change its goals.
"I think that the City Commission has a lot of important work to do to make Gainesville a better city and I didn't hear Mr Braddy talk about those things in a positive light during the campaign," Hawkins said.
Hawkins said those issues include long-term plans to develop a bus rapid transit system, a long-term investment in the development of the parks system and the management of the city utility.
During his campaigning, Braddy said bus rapid transit, the city's long-term parks master plan and the biomass contract were expensive endeavors that threatened the city's affordability.
On Tuesday night, he said he planned to focus on making it easier for small business to navigate the city's regulatory process, fixing aging infrastructure and remedying infrastructure inequities in different parts of the city.
Turnout Tuesday was just more than 16 percent.
Leaving the precinct at the Elks Lodge late Tuesday afternoon, resident Micheal Chatman said he generally felt the city was headed in the right direction but supported Braddy over transportation issues. Chatman said he shared the opposition to bus rapid transit and the feeling that the city should pump more money into road repairs.
Braddy easily carried the western more suburban areas of the city, drawing almost 65 percent of the votes cast in District 2, his former district as a city commissioner.
Lowe easily carried District 4, which he represented as a two-term commissioner, and he also carried District 1, which includes east Gainesville.

HOMES and the village church in Charminster have flooded after severe weather battered Dorset.
Over the weekend, St Mary's Church became swamped under more than five inches of water and more than six residents' houses were flooded.
The community believes the amount of flooding is due to one side of the Grade Two heritage listed bridge impeding the water flow and not functioning properly.
Residents from across the village clubbed together with the church wardens to mop up the damage and Dorset Fire and Rescue Service helped pump water from one side of the flooded river to another.
Due to the flooding, church wardens estimate the church will be closed for at least a month to allow water to drain away and for the church floors to dry out.
One church warden Bob Pearson and his with wife Susan have been helping at the church for most of the weekend.
Mrs Pearson said: "Sunday services were cancelled. The last time the village flooded the church closed for three months.
"The Sunday services will continue at Charminster village hall at 9.30am until the church re-opens. Villagers have been coming down and clubbing together to help out at the church – there has been a great feeling of unity here.
"However, cars driving through floods have been sweeping excess water into people's houses."
Assistant curate of St Mary's Church, Rev Hugh Willis and wife Lyn own one of the houses affected by flooding.
Mr Willis said the lower level of his house was swamped by four inches of water over the weekend, and 18 inches the last time his house flooded.
He added: "We went out to celebrate our golden wedding anniversary on Saturday and came back to find the house like this. It's so frustrating and we have been troubled by floods for more than 12 years.
"We know all the precautions now including propping our sofas on top of plastic chairs and moving everything to higher levels of the house.
"We were up all of Saturday night keeping an eye on water levels in the lounge and making sure the suction pump was working properly. The lower level part of my house was built in 1704 so I do wonder how many times it has actually flooded since then."
Charminster resident Gwen Yarker said that at least six homes were flooded due to the weather.
She added: "Charminster House opened a gate to their garden allowing it to be completely flooded to save more houses being swamped. In 1860 houses here began to be built on higher ground which indicates flooding was a problem even back then."

ATHENS - "Russ," the half-brother of Uga VII who has served two terms as interim mascot for the Georgia Bulldogs, has received a "battlefield promotion" and will assume the title of "Uga IX," according to an announcement by UGA Director of Athletics Greg McGarity.
Official ceremonies will be conducted prior to the Georgia-Florida Atlantic home football game in historic Sanford Stadium, Saturday, Sept. 15. Kickoff is set for 7:30 p.m. and will be carried live on CSS.
"Like many great and memorable Bulldogs, Russ has earned the opportunity to serve in this capacity," said UGA president Dr. Michael F. Adams. "I am confident that he will represent the Bulldog Nation very well and continue the grand tradition of Ugas."
"Russ has endeared himself to the Georgia people over the last three years," said UGA Director of Athletics Greg McGarity. "His dedication to duty when called upon has been exemplary and it's fitting that he takes his place in the official line of Georgia mascots."
Russ has served as interim mascot for a total of 23 games. Following the unexpected death of Uga VII on Nov. 19, 2009, Russ served as interim mascot the final two games of the 2009 season and the first six games of 2010. Uga VIII was introduced on Oct. 16, 2010 prior to the Georgia-Vanderbilt game. Russ was pressed back into duty prior to the 2010 Liberty Bowl and stayed on following the untimely death of Uga VIII in February, 2011.
Russ roamed the sidelines at all 14 games during the 2011 season. While serving in the interim role, Russ has posted a record of 14-9 including the 2011 SEC Eastern Division championship.
The continuous line of Georgia Bulldog mascots has been owned by the Seiler family for 56 years.

Industry mobilises support for Twickenham Studios as Taylor Wimpey in talks for redevelopment
EXCLUSIVE: Spielberg, Cronenberg, Daldry among petition signatories; homebuilder Taylor Wimpey in discussions for site redevelopment; Business Secretary and MP for Twickenham Vince Cable contacted by constituents.
Industry concern over the potential demolition and redevelopment of Twickenham Studios is growing. Leading UK, US and international industry are among those to have signed a petition to save the renowned UK film and TV studio, which recently hosted Oscar nominees War Horse, The Iron Lady and My Week with Marilyn, but is now in administration and is due to be shut down this summer.
Steven Spielberg (who recently shot part of War Horse at the studios), David Cronenberg, Stephen Daldry, Colin Firth, Terry Gilliam, Kevin Macdonald, Michael Apted, John Landis, Terry Jones, David Barron, John Bloom, Peter Honess, Robin Sales and Peter Boyle are among the 1,350 signatories (to date) of the online petition (launched five days ago) to save the studios.
At the same time, Screen has revealed that the current owners of the site are already in talks with major UK homebuilder Taylor Wimpey to turn the site into property and office space.
David Brown, regional land and planning director for Taylor Wimpey, told Screen: "Taylor Wimpey and the current owners of Twickenham Film Studios are exploring the potential for the site to be redeveloped for a mixed use scheme, providing employment space alongside a mixture of residential dwellings.
"We are mindful that a suitable and sympathetic redevelopment proposal needs to be found for this site and we will shortly begin to engage with local residents and other stakeholders so they can help us to shape our proposals."
Screen also understands that a number of UK-based private consortia with film connections had drawn up plans to buy and maintain the Studios in recent months but were ultimately unsuccessful. At least one consortium's bid fell short of the asking price.
One industry petitioner told Screen: "Twickenham is a vital piece of the industry, especially at a time when the government is telling us that the industry is doing so well and that they want to keep attracting high levels of inward investment. I'm surprised they are standing by as it is sold off like this. I believe one of the reasons Steven Spielberg shot at Twickenham was that most of the other studios in the country were full so it is clearly still vitally important. With careful investment in new technology I'm convinced the Studios could compete again."
"We have turned over a rock in the last few days and the amount of energy released in the local area has been huge," the petitioner continued. "At the moment this is a fairly disparate group of people doing what they can to raise the noise but I think we are getting more organised and will make sure all the right government and industry bodies are on our side."
Business Secretary and Twickenham MP Vince Cable, currently abroad on ministerial work, has been contacted by concerned residents.
The studio has been losing money for at least three years. The last accounts posted by Twickenham Film Studios Ltd for the year ended March 2011 showed that the company made a loss of more than £400,000.
Rising rents in the area and competition from larger studios with larger stages and more advanced technology are believed to be partly responsible for the company's demise. All 17 members of the remaining studio staff are due to be made redundant within the next six months.
Twickenham opened in 1913 and has hosted a string of classic films including Blade Runner, Repulsion, Alfie and The Italian Job.
The business is currently owned by overseas company Shardub Enterprises, registered in the Dutch Antilles.
Readers' comments (5)
why should this studio receive any preferential treatment?
The link to the petition is:
The campaign is not asking for "preferential treatment". The fact is that there is massive local opposition to the change of use that Taylor Wimpey are seeking which will put a huge amount of pressure on already stretched local amenities. The reality is that the proposed development is totally unsuited to the site.
The fact that Steven Spielberg saw fit to sign the petition, having recently shot Warhorse at the studios, proves it isn't 'rundown', as Anonymous suggests.
Cosmetics aside, the comments on the petition show that those who have recently worked there think it is a great studios. There's no reason why it shouldn't continue as such with the right owners.
Sign the petition here!
We need affordable housing in Twickenham, not a film studio that can't balance its books. There is nothing "great" about an unprofitable business like this.
I agree that Twickenham is a desirable neighbourhood - I live in a teeny 1 bed flat, that wasn't cheap to buy 8 years ago! There are many new developments going up. The road down from me has seen 2 new developments, where light industrial premises were knocked down: a sign making business, and some warehouses that seemed to breed rats more than thriving businesses. I don't know the difficulty of relocating a sign business, but a warehouse is a big building: not hard to replace, with no cultural heritage. Twickenham Studios are impossible to replace for the cost of the land value. They bring in employment, and support an industry that is important for bringing in revenue to the British Economy. If the Studios are knocked down, they can't be replaced. But affordable housing can be built in Twickenham on a different plot of land. Housing is important, but so id retaining employment within the borough, and retaining the things that make it such a desirable neighbourhood in the first place!

Reebok: Senior Player Bag
Now straddling that not-so-fine line between the Majors and the Minors, righty pitcher Julio Teheran must be looking forward to some of the benefits of being a part of the Atlanta Braves franchise - like no longer having to tote his own bag everywhere. I wonder if players ever get nostalgic for all that schlepping they do before they "make" it . . .

Press Room
In The News
Starbucks Corp. SBUX -1.37% and Whole Foods Market Inc. WFM -2.12%have helped to bring Fair Trade certified coffee into mainstream consciousness, and extended the category to other products including spices, tea, produce and wine.
Fair Trade certified apparel may be next.
In the wake of the April factory collapse and other accidents in Bangladesh's garment industry, apparel sellers including Gap Inc. GPS -2.11% and Wal-Mart WMT -5.07%have felt the heat. Fair Trade USA, a non-profit certification group, said it has recently received "a lot more interest" from big apparel companies.
"The types of companies we see expressing the interest have a more mainstream presence and more marketing influence," said Heather Franzese, a director at the group who launched Fair Trade USA's apparel program.
She wouldn't give the names of companies because they are still in discussions, but said they include some publicly traded companies. Commitments are expected to be formalized within the next two months By fall 2014, consumers should begin to see some of the products on store shelves, she said in an interview.
Certifying apparel is more complicated because it takes 12-18 months from product design to when they land on store shelves, compared to coffee that typically involves picking from the field and roasting, she said. Fair Trade USA in late 2010 developed a two-year pilot program, setting up 300 compliance standards, that aims to benefit both cotton farmers and factory workers and ensure their safety. Participation involved 18 small mission-driven brands including active clothing brand Prana, sold at retailers including Amazon.com Inc.'s AMZN -1.42% Zappos and REI and Eastern Mountain Sports.
"The aim was to prove the Fair Trade model is successful," she said, adding Prana has seen a sales boost from its Fair Trade clothing. "What we set out with the pilot is to show a pathway for large brands to follow. It seems like that's coming true."
In another sign Fair Trade textiles are getting traction with the public, Bed, Bath & Beyond Inc. BBBY -1.02% will soon sell an Under the Canopy robe Fair Trade certified, Franzese said, adding such certified products generate about $1.2 billion in retail sales.

Since its founding in 1913, the Memorial Art Gallery's collection has grown from its first acquisition, the gift of a lappet of lace, to a holding of more than 12,000 works of art. Representing cultures from around the world and across millennia, the permanent collection is renowned for its breadth and its quality.
L to R: Winslow Homer, The Artist's Studio in an Afternoon Fog, 1894 | Claude Monet, Waterloo Bridge, Veiled Sun, 1903 |Rembrandt Harmensz. van Rijn, Portrait of a Young Man in an Armchair, ca. 1660

Visitors to the MAG are frequently surprised to find classic examples at every turn. Three paintings by Monet (see Waterloo Bridge, Veiled Sun, above) a Rembrandt portrait (above), and a Chinese Guanyin sculpture are among the treasures in the European and Asian galleries, while Winslow Homer's painting of his studio at Prout's Neck, Maine (also above), Thomas Hart Benton's view of a Texas boom town and a major collection of sculptures by Gaston Lachaise are but a sampling from the American collection. Changing exhibitions in the Lockhart Gallery showcase prints and drawings from the extensive collection of works on paper.
Recent acquisitions include a dramatic 17th-century Italian Baroque painting, The Entombment, by Luca Giordano, a celebrated view of the Erie Canal by 19th-century painter George Harvey, and a beautifully decorated suit of etched armor made in Germany in the 16th century.
Three newly reinstalled galleries opened to the public in late 2009. On the first floor, the Arts of Africa, Oceania and the Americas brings together intriguing objects created for both ceremonial and everyday use. On the second floor, the Helen H. Berkeley Gallery of Ancient Art showcases Greek, Etruscan and Roman works, including a lavishly decorated pair of 2,000-year-old Egyptian coffins; just a few steps away, At the Crossroads brings together works from the ancient Middle East and the Islamic world, including pieces never before on view.
Stop by the 2nd floor Medieval Gallery which has been updated with an an interactive video kiosk about medieval music and art as well as new recordings of previously un-recorded medieval music, a special concert, lectures.
Reflecting the strong craft tradition of upstate New York, exciting works by Rochester-based artists Wendell Castle and Albert Paley are always on view. Important ceramists, including Stephen Merritt, Wayne Higby and Anne Currier, are represented as well.

Anxiety and Stress Disorders
Klonopin Withdrawl Effects
I was taken off Klonopin abrubtly, and the withdrawls were undescribable. I am curious to know if there is any documented cases of people who have been taken off that drug, and became volient, and very aggressive in their behavior. Me, and my boyfriend were pulled over by the cops, after a arguement with each at IHOP. The cops were very rude, and I was in the midst of a klonopin withdrawl. I used profanity, and was feeling very paronoid as if they may cause me harm. I need to see if there is documented cases of unusual behavior, and other sympthoms associated with abrubt withdrawl from this medicane. If at all possible the side affects from the makers of klonopin themselves. I am to go to court for disorderly conduct for behavior I would have never normally acted like.
I am not qualified to answer the question you pose. Benzodiazepines (of which Klonopin is one specific type) are associated with withdrawal symptoms, but when medications are stopped, the underlying emotional, psychological and psychiatric symptoms for which Klonopin are prescribed may return, rebound or change.
You need to discuss your symptoms with your health care provider.
Good Luck.

Todd White and Tim Kennedy were both put on waivers by the Rangers, though coach John Tortorella said neither is going to Hartford (AHL) and that both will be at practice tomorrow.
There's been a lot of speculation around, and I'll throw in my two cents:
Now is as good a time to put them through waivers as any. Unless I'm terribly mistaken about the CBA, they only have to go through waivers once, then they are free to come and go to/from Hartford. Not that they're going to Hartford now, but at least one of them would be when Chris Drury returns.
So now might be a good time to do it, while the waiver wire is cluttered with players being demoted and waived. Your players are less likely to be snapped up when there are so many others available.
Let's face it, neither White or Kennedy is going to be here all year. Eventually they will have to go through waivers.
Once they clear, the Rangers can call on them/send them down as needed.
If I'm not correct about that, somebody please tell me.
Also, I do not know if players can actually report to their minor-league destination until after they clear, which I believe would be noon Thursday.
I've been corrected a number of times on the waiver rules — which are different than when I was on the beat; back then they actually had an annual pre-season waiver draft, remember? So thanks to those who set me straight.
Reader Steve was first to point it out, and the Rangers confirmed, that the waiver period is 30 days. And that waivers last for 24 hours, so White and Kennedy could be claimed or clear by noon tomorrow (it's 48 hours on weekends).

A TIRELESS fundraiser and passionate volunteer from Dursley who was named in the Queen's New Year's Honours list has died.
Charles Jukes MBE, of Dursley Road, was awarded an MBE for his services to the community and the staggering amount of charity work he had done during his life.
Mr Jukes died peacefully at Gloucestershire Royal Hospital on July 26 aged 90.
He spent 27 years volunteering at the Dursley Open Door Club as its fundraising officer for the those with learning or physical disabilities as well as raising thousands of pounds for the Rotary Cornea and Tissue bank in Bristol, which pioneered treatment giving people their sight back.
Mr Jukes spoke to the Gazette after receiving his Most Excellent Order of the British Empire (MBE) four years ago, saying he only achieved the award thanks to the help of friends and family.
"When I opened the envelope from the cabinet office I was first astounded and then very humble," he said.
"'Why me?' I asked, why not my wife who does so much good in the world?"
As an officer at the district Rotary Club, he got involved in the Corneal Transplant Service, acting as publicity officer for the treatment.
Thanks to his work, the service went from performing around 50 operations a year to over 1,000 and now 2,000 people a year are given their vision back thanks to the unit in Bristol.
The former customs and excise officer also helped raise money for equipment at the unit and setting up a support group for people undergoing the operation to put their mind at ease before having the treatment.
Mr Jukes enlisted in the Royal Air Force as a wireless operator during World War Two and would serve in Greece, Africa, Italy and Sicily among others.
On his return home he would marry Jean in Synwell, Wotton –under-Edge and would be happily married for 68 years.
"He loved getting involved in charity work, he liked his music and operas and things like that," she said.
"He was very well known because of it all."
He has two daughters Angela and Carole, five grandchildren and nine great grand children.
Granddaughter Zoe Taylor, owner of TaylorMade uniforms, said he was a "true gentleman" that always put others before him.
"He will be missed from my life and everything that he did for others," she said.
"I will miss him terribly and I think many others in Dursley will too."
A service of thanksgiving is being held at Dursley Tabernacle United Reform Church on Friday, August 8 at 2.30pm.
If desired, donations in memory of Mr Jukes can be made to the Natural Environment Research Council. Cheques can be sent and made payable to L W Clutterbuck Ltd, Funeral Directors, 24 - 26 High Street, Cam, Glos. GL11 5LE.

Forum:Rollback with custom Change Summary
From Uncyclopedia, the content-free encyclopedia
Uncyclopedian vandalism police (with the
rollback permission) see a "rollback" legend in diffs and at Special:RecentChanges. This lets them quickly revert an edit or a string of consecutive edits by the same user. The benefits over Undo are:
- Rollback works with a single click.
- Rollback marks the rolled-back edit(s) as "patrolled." With Undo, you have to mark each edit manually so other patrollers don't review the edit(s) again.
- Rollback doesn't open an edit window.
- Undo is a regular edit that adds the article to your Watchlist (though you can set My preferences so that editing an article doesn't automatically add it to your Watchlist).
The liabilities are:
- You sometimes roll back more than you intended; for example, when looking at a RecentChanges listing that doesn't go all the way back.
- You can't write a Change Summary.
As registered Uncyclopedians are usually entitled to an explanation when their edits are undone (and it is neighborly to give even Anon a reason), this problem disqualifies Rollback for many uses.
Now Furry, our Wikia volunteer crime-fighter, has written a fine little piece of JavaScript that opens a window to ask you for a Change Summary. It works like the optional JavaScript that gives you a tab to send a vandal straight to Ban Patrol, or the other one to list an article at UN:QVFD.
To pick up this behavior, you need to create a file that depends on your user name and on the Uncyclopedia "skin" that you are using (which is shown in My preferences). For example, mine is
User:SPIKE/uncyclopedia.js. The file must contain at least the following line:
importScript( "User:Furry/customRollback.js" );
There is a way to customize the effect, documented at UN:HAX. Spıke Ѧ 11:16 8-Jun-13
- Brilliant work! And a much better user experience to understand the "why" of a rollback. Give that man/woman/fetish a cookie! • Puppy's talk page • 04:21 08 Jun 2013
Rollback without separate confirmation page
importScript( "User:Furry/ajaxPatrol.js" );
("ajax" is "Asynchronous JavaScript and XML," the technology that lets programs modify a web page without reloading it.) Spıke Ѧ 13:29 25-Jun-13
