PHILADELPHIA - Following their first Big 5 win in nearly two years, the Quakers (1-3) look to carry momentum through a busy week - starting with Bucknell (5-2) at The Palestra at 7 p.m. Monday and a short trip to New York City to take on St. Francis (N.Y.) (2-3) at 7 p.m. Wednesday.
Catching the Game
Video and live stats will be available on the Penn Sports Network (PSN) at PennAthletics.com. A complete recap and box score can then be found at PennAthletics.com shortly after the conclusion of each game.
In the Series vs. Bucknell/St. Francis
This will mark the first meeting between Penn and Bucknell in more than 12 years and the seventh meeting overall. The programs split the first six games with the Bison claiming all three encounters in the 1980s. But the Quakers have won three straight, including the last meeting on Jan. 2, 2000 - an 86-74 win at The Palestra. Meanwhile, Penn will play St. Francis (N.Y.) for the fifth straight year and the seventh time overall. The Quakers are 6-0 all-time against the Terriers - all of which came by double-digits before last season's 70-61 overtime win at The Palestra.
About the Bison
Bucknell has won five straight games after dropping the first two games - both by single digits. The Bison's only road loss came at Xavier. The only Patriot League team with more wins is Army (7-1), who topped Penn by five at West Point on Nov. 18. Bucknell ranks first among Patriot teams in field goal defense allowing opponents to shoot just 31.6 percent and second in three-point defense at 27.1 percent. They are second in the league in rebounding with a plus-8.5 average margin. Alyssa Dunn (14.3 ppg) and Shelby Romine (12.3 ppg) lead the Bison in scoring and have combined for 53 of the team's 93 assists. Lindsay Horbatuck leads the Patriot League in rebounding with 11.5 per game. Audrey Dotson is tops on the Bison with 10 blocks.
About the Terriers
St. Francis (N.Y.) won its first two games, but has since lost its last three games. Penn lost at Army, but the Terriers handed the Black Knights their only loss of the season thus far with a decisive 59-47 win in West Point. The Terriers boast the top defense in the 12-team Northeast Conference (NEC) at 61.0 points per game. Opponents are shooting just 34.1 percent against the Terriers - also tops in the NEC. Offensively, they own the NEC's top field goal percentage at 42.3 and three-point percentage at 37.9. Sarah Benedetti is the only St. Francis (N.Y.) player averaging double figures in scoring at 10.0 points per game. Jaymee Veney is the team's top rebounder at 6.4 per game and Jasmine Robinson has a team-high 4.0 assists per game.
Reaching 1,000
Junior Alyssa Baron became the 19th Penn women's player to reach 1,000 career points. She is the third-fastest Quaker to accomplish that milestone (60 games) and the first since Carrie Biemer topped the landmark in 2008. Only Penn's all-time leading scorer (man or woman), Diana Caramanico (48 games) and Mandy West (52 games) were faster to 1,000 points. A two-time Ivy scoring champion, Baron became the first freshman in Ivy history to lead the league in scoring. She now has 1,005 points in her career, which ranks 18th all-time at Penn. That is eight points behind Beth Stegner (1980-83) for 17th and 19 points behind Katarina Poulsen (1991-94) for 16th-place on Penn's all-time scoring list.
Topping the Big 5
Its a daunting task each year for the Quakers to take on the Big 5. The conference for city bragging rights includes the other four Division I schools in Philadelphia—Temple, La Salle, Saint Joseph's and Villanova. The first three are in the Atlantic-10 conference and the Wildcats are in Big East. Penn lost 24 straight Big 5 games after a win over Saint Joseph's on Dec. 1, 2004 at Hagan Arena, 64-57, and were 1-30 since that time against the Big 5. But the Quakers have now won two of the last three against their city rivals at The Palestra and are now atop the Big 5 standings at 1-0.
Close Calls
All four of Penn's games have been decided by single digits. Penn suffered three straight losses to start the season. But those came by a combined 17 points (average of 5.7 points per game). In two of those losses, Penn was within one possession and had the ball with under 10 seconds to play. Last season, the Red and Blue were 5-5 in games decided by 10 points or less.
Penn Trends
Penn has won seven of their last nine non-conference home games ... Penn had 19 assists against La Salle - second-most in head coach Mike McLaughlin's four-year tenure, while in the same game, the Quakers had just 10 turnovers - third-fewest under McLaughlin ... Alyssa Baron has started 60 consecutive games for the Quakers ... Junior Meghan McCullough played in 59 straight games dating back to the 2010-11 season opener prior to missing the matchup with La Salle on Friday.
Two Penn Wins Would...
... mark a three-game winning streak.
... be the fourth straight against Bucknell.
... make the Quakers 7-0 all-time against St. Francis (N.Y.).
... make the Quakers 3-3 on the year and 2-1 at The Palestra.
A Penn Win Would...
... mark two wins in the last three games.
... make the Quakers 2-4 on the year.
Two Penn Losses Would...
... mark seven defeats in the last eight games.
... make the Quakers 1-5 on the year and 0-3 on the road.
... be less good than two wins.
Penn Picked to Finish Fourth in Ivy League
After finishing last season in sixth place with a 6-8 Ivy League record, the Quakers were picked to finish fourth in the Ivy Preseason Media Poll. Last season, Penn was also picked to finish fourth in the Ivy League, but ended up finishing sixth for for the second season in a row.
2012 Team Captains
Seniors Brianna Bradford and Katie Davis and junior Alyssa Baron were named the 2012-13 tri-captains for Penn on Oct. 3. Bradford played in 27 of 28 games last year, averaging 10.6 minutes per game. After her sophomore year she was named Penn's Co-Most Intangible Player. Davis saw action in nine games last season. Following a career-high 17 games played her sophomore year, she was named the team's Most Dedicated Player. Baron led the Ivies in scoring her first two years as a Quaker and was the first-ever freshman to win the honor—she was also named Ivy League and Big 5 Rookie of the Year. She is a two-time All-Ivy recipient, a six-time Ivy Player of the Week and a three-time Big 5 Player of the Week.
Charge for a Cure!
For the third straight year the women's basketball team is dedicating its entire season to the fight against several diseases and the team needs your help. In its first two years, 109 donors have joined the "Charge for a Cure" program which helped the team raise nearly $7,000. Each month of the season will be devoted to help a specific disease with personal ties to the program—The Michael J. Fox Foundation, Go4theGoal, the American Cancer Society, The Dave Bryan Ride on Fund, and the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation of America. At the end of each month, the coaches will total the number of offensive charges the Quakers have taken as a team and fans can pledge a donation per charge. This month the Quakers will be taking charges for the Go4theGoal Foundation, but the team is turning to its fans to lend a hand in its efforts. Here is how you can help!

Last Time Out
Junior Alyssa Baron's 1,000th career point came at a huge moment as the Penn held off La Salle, 65-56, in the Big 5 opener for both teams Friday night at The Palestra. La Salle took its largest lead of the game, 46-44, with 8:37 to play. But that last just 13 seconds when Baron sunk her milestone basket with a go-ahead three-pointer. Penn never trailed again. La Salle tied the game at 18-18 at the 6:10 mark of the opening half, but sophomore Renee Busch and freshman Rayne Connell hit back-to-back threes for a six-point edge. The Quakers had built the lead without their leading scorer, but Baron knocked home her first basket of the night at the end of the half - a three that gave the Red and Blue a 29-21 advantage heading into the break. It was a long process, but La Salle slowly chipped away. La Salle finally tied the game at 44-44 with 9:03 to go and went on top for that brief moment before Baron's three changed momentum. After Baron's historic basket, junior Courtney Wilson scored on back-to-back trips and the Quakers led 51-46 with 6:58 to play. Busch connected on another three for a 57-51 edge with 3:21 remaining. Baron then blocked a three, was fouled in the race for the loose ball and sunk two free throws. That all but sealed the game as the Quakers salted away the final few minutes.
Up Next
Penn has a busy stretch coming up before the holiday break. After the Red and Blue host Bucknell for the first time since 2000 on Monday, its a pair of games in New York City, the first against St. Francis (N.Y.) on Wednesday and the next against LIU-Brooklyn on Sunday, Dec. 9 at 2 p.m.

Agency connects parents with child care providers
Saturday, Jun 28, 2014 06:00 am
Parents searching for a babysitter or day home have a new place to look.
The St. Albert Community Information and Volunteer Centre launched a new Facebook page on June 12 called Child Care Connect.
�The idea was to give child care providers and people seeking child care services a chance to find one another,� said Ryan Mullan, social media and marketing co-ordinator at CIVC.
The page was built on a recognized need in the community, said Mullan.
In 2013, CIVC received 226 inquiries about child care. They have a baby-sitting registry that serves 300 clients with 590 children.
As of Friday, the Child Care Connect page had more than 240 likes.
The majority of the pages users are young mothers, said Mullan. About 97 per cent of subscribers are women, 50 per cent of whom are between the ages of 25 and 34 years of age.
The page had an early surge in popularity after cross promotion by The Community of St. Albert Facebook page. Administrators of the community page said they will begin referring their child care requests to Child Care Connect in mid-July.
�As a referral agency we don�t manage (the requests), but we do like to create a way for people to connect,� said Mullan. �We wanted to find a way to make this information more readily available.�
CIVC is now seeking partnerships with other local agencies that have stake in child care to be part of the page.
The goal is to provide information on the page that would be helpful for parents.
�We recognize we�re not the experts in child care. There are agencies that do that � the family resource centre for example,� said Mullan.
�We want them to share their ideas, their articles, and things that they want the community to know that they do. Basically, the more the community puts in, the more the community gets out of it."
CIVC plans to create a similar page for rental accommodations � to connect tenants with landlords.

I can't imagine this hasn't been reviewed, but after a trip to TX to visit some family I remember how much I miss TX Q. Anyway, in the same format as my Auburn Q review thread, here's a review for Railhead:
Name: Railhead BBQ
Sauce: This is pretty much the yardstick to which I compare sauces. It is, in my mind, the way sauce should be. Some tomato base to it, but not thick and sweet like a KC sauce. A little spicier, smokier, and thinner - perfect for brisket.
The Meat: Cooked low and slow. The brisket done to perfection. They sliced it thicker than I slice mine - and I could still cut it with a fork. Juicy and great smokiness. I am one who never use the words "too much" and "smoke" together, but if you are, you might find it a bit smokey. I surely don't. The sausage was great - spicy and juicy without being too greasy.
Price: I think it was around 8-12 buck per plate but unlike the places here in Alabama, they give you so much you struggle to finish it. Not bad.
What I orderd:: Brisket of course - I was in Texas, the only place I could order brisket and have it better than my own. The sides were beans and coleslaw and bread.
My Advice: Get the brisket. Or maybe the two meat combo, as long as one of them is brisket. The sauce is great, but you sure don't need a lot with as good as this brisket is.
Other Info: All platters come with beans (ranch style - love em), coleslaw, and bread. You can grab as many hot peppers as you want. They serve beer too, a trait sorely lacking in Auburn Q joints.

AN East Lancashire business is bouncing back after a member of staff stole so much money that it was forced to close.
Office worker Melanie Hill was employed in 2009 by Neil Pope at NP Electrical, in Knowsley Road West, Blackburn, the firm he had run for more than 30 years.
For seven months between 2010 and 2011 she overpaid herself an extra £1,000 a month and used company funds to pay for treats for herself and her dog plus a holiday abroad.
At Burnley Crown Court last month Mrs Hill admitted stealing £9,000 and received a suspended jail sentence.
Mr Pope is now trading again as NP Electrical (Lancs) Limited. He said: "When Mel joined us she appeared to fit in well. However, things started to get tough. No matter how hard we worked, there just didn't seem to be quite enough money at the end of the month."
Mr Pope said payments to suppliers were delayed, he often went without a wage and remortgaged his house.
The company had to downsize and Mrs Hill handed in her resignation. Shortly after her deception was discovered.
Mr Pope said he was glad to have revived the business but Hill's actions have left some permanent damage.
He said: "Even after she finally admitted it she has made no attempt to ever say sorry. Whether we can ever trust people in the same way again, we don't know.
"Mel's actions will have a lasting legacy on us."

Harnessed Hamster Produces Energy
Posted by Sheila Franklin Categories: Science, Transportation
Dr. Zhong Lin Wang of Georgia University's Nano Research Group built some tiny flexible jackets equipped with wires and plugged hamsters in while they were running in their wheels. She found that one rodent could produce a tiny amount of AC power equal to 1/20 of an AA battery output. That means it would take about 1,000 of the little critters to generate enough power for a mobile phone. Dr. Wang believes that the same technology could be fitted into clothes within about 5 years for larger animals and humans. But gee, maybe she should consult Ed Begley Jr., who spends 10 minutes on his pedal-powered generator each morning to make toast, before entrepreneurs decide to set up animal sweatshops.

Gainesville's Equal Opportunity Office hobbled, Braddy says
Published: Monday, June 17, 2013 at 1:30 p.m.
Last Modified: Monday, June 17, 2013 at 2:07 p.m.
At Gainesville City Hall, the mayor is questioning if the Office of Equal Opportunity has been marginalized in the city's hiring and promotion processes.
The scrutiny was sparked by the promotion of a district fire chief late last year over the objections of Equal Opportunity Officer Cecil Howard, who cited a lack of diversity in the department's upper ranks.
In December, Howard told Fire Chief Gene Prince he would not approve a Personnel Requisition Action Form for the position. That paperwork initiates the hiring process for a vacant position and details the steps used to fill a vacancy, including the recruitment of minority candidates for positions with affirmative action goals.
While it is illegal to mandate the hiring of a minority, laws prevent discrimination and city policies require an effort to recruit minority candidates for positions where diversity is deemed to be lacking. Those are areas the Office of Equal Opportunity reviews.
The fire department's minority recruitment is focused on entry-level positions on the premise those employees will move up through the ranks over time. But Howard said the district chief position was a mid-management-level post for which the city had minority recruitment goals.
He would not sign off on the requisition form, or PRAF, because the promotion was going to a white man when there were minority candidates on the department's promotion list.
In the months after that disagreement, City Manager Russ Blackburn removed the authority of the equal opportunity officer to approve or deny the personnel requisition forms in question.
Late Thursday afternoon, Mayor Ed Braddy sent out a news release to say Blackburn had removed Howard from a "critical oversight role" and that he planned to press the City Commission to discuss the issue at its June 20 meeting.
Braddy said that, as charter officers who report directly to the City Commission, the city manager and equal opportunity officer are on equal footing.
In one of multiple quotes he included in his news release, Braddy said his issue was the potential of a "cooperative process becoming confrontational because one charter officer has impacted the ability of another charter officer to carry out his duties."
"My concern is not who ultimately gets hired," Braddy said in an interview Friday. "The concern is one charter officer had the scope of his responsibility significantly diminished."
In an email to the Human Resources Department last week, Howard said his office had been "kicked out of" the process for approving hiring requisition forms -- and that, in his mind, violated the city's policies because he no longer could ensure a hiring process followed equal employment laws.
In the email, Howard said he planned to take the issue to the City Commission.
On Friday, Blackburn said that the use of the PRAF paperwork was an administrative process for staff and not something set by a City Commission policy.
He said the Office of Equal Opportunity still would be consulted on hiring decisions and could make recommendations and suggestions. But Blackburn noted that he and his department heads are ultimately responsible for hiring decisions.
Commissioner Yvonne Hinson-Rawls said she has concerns that there might be a lack of diversity through much of the ranks of city government. She said a disparity study commissioners are considering -- at a potential cost in the range of $300,000 -- could provide definitive evidence if the city had a problem or not.
"If we do, we can give Cecil's office much more authority," she said. "I'm failing to see how we are going to affect diversity if we have an Office of Equal Opportunity that has no real authority."

Pamela Anderson is sheer elegance
Pamela Anderson hit up an art gallery yesterday in Miami last night looking her just, wow, absolute classiest. I mean, heels with tiny leopard shorts that your ass hangs out of and one of Tommy Lee's old hats? Jesus. I can only assume afterward she mounted a steed and went on a fox hunt with the Queen of England. Release the hounds! And then maybe the dogs, too, if you feel like it. Your call.
EDIT: NOT Fred Durst and added pics of Pamela inside the gallery. Someone explain to me how she was able to hug Paris Hilton without guys in HAZMAT suits busting down the door. What am I paying taxes for?

I was at Costco yesterday and found fresh boneless and skinless Tilapia. I picked a tray and decided to grill the filets. Now I've done these filets before on a vegetable tray, but I decided to cook them a little differently this time. I picked up some dehydrated cornhusks and soaked them in water. Cleaned the filets and seasoned them with salt, black pepper, whit pepper, lemon pepper, granulated onion powder, and paprika. And then I made a mixture of minced garlic, lemon juice, olive oil, fresh parsley and Thyme. Brushed the filets and the husks with the liquid mixture, placed a thin slice of lemon on top of each filets, and then wrapped them up like tamales. I know this isn't a new concept, but as you can see in the pictures below the filets are not entirely encased in the husk. I wanted to leave as much of the fish exposed as possible. This way the fish will get nice and smoky. Also when the husks charred, they would also contribute to the smoky flavor.
Grilled the filets over coals with zucchini halves. The fish filets were awesome. The filets were very juice and tasty, even my fussy kid loved (she usually does not eat fish).
To all the Cha-Griller owners, I used mine yesterday as a grill, and it preformed beautifully. Please forgive me for bragging, but I love this grill.

I haven't done this on here in over 4 years, but I felt the need to get the ball rolling this one last time about "my" squad.
But, just in case you have yet to get word, or been living under a rock in the "DMV" area, Coach Flip Saunders is out in D.C.
And, it means nothing.
His replacement, Randy Wittman, is nothing more than a memory I have of a guy that was in EVERY single pack of my 1990-91 HOOPS basketball card packs! I swear, when trying to get my collection going attempting to "hit it big" plucking stars like Michael Jordan and Charles Barkley, I was stuck back then with 100s of Randy Wittman cards worth .01 cents! The hell…
As an "Uptown D.C" native and avid supporter of this franchise since 1980, there is no shock the death of a respected owner (who was loyal to a fault, in strict basketball business terms), a #1 overall draft pick, new uniforms, and proven winning coach did little to change the culture of this organization.
The situation at hand stinks. It has always stunk.
For us Washington Bullets/Wizards fans – Yes, me and the final 4 remaining – we possess the characteristics of person that has continually endured the emotional and physiological abusive of a long relationship: We are numb to its effects at this point.
But, allow me to switch hats, and play Dr. Eyes of Hazel for a minute, and get you 3 remaining Wizards fans set on how this mess can be fixed in 3-4 seasons down the road. We will end up the sorriest team in the NBA after this season anyway, so what the hell, right?
All I'm saying, as a fan of 30 years of this franchise, is to start (yet, again) from scratch.
Trade John Wall
Wall is suffering from the same effects we – the 4 remaining Wizards fans left – are suffering from. Only thing is, just like with us, its everlasting. As long as Wall remains in D.C., touting with the red/white/blue, he will be damaged goods. And, in true Bullets/Wizards fashion, this is NO fault of his own. Thus, trade the kid NOW for future lottery picks. DON'T "KWAME BROWN" THIS TALENTED KID! (Note: yes, being "Kwame Brown'ed" is an adjective to D.C. locals). Give him the freedom to become the All-Star caliber player everyone knows he can be, before he becomes permanent damaged goods for his career. Wall DESERVES it – He has done nothing but been a model citizen and player since being drafted by the Wizards. Only us, the Bullets/Wizards, can have an organization in the booming gentrified Nation's Capital, can draft two #1 overall picks in the last 10 years, obtain Michael Jordan during that stretch, and still only compiled a record of 340-497 as of January 24, 2012. Yeah, here is another shameful fact – Juwan Howard, until further notice, will remain the lone Bullets/Wizards lottery pick in the last 30 years to achieve some sort of brilliance while in a D.C. uniform. Yeah, THAT Juwan.
Trade JaVale McGee
Is this a young Wizard veteran with TRADE VALUE HERE? When was the last time you heard such? You mean we can rid a good young player for, er, another good young player (and not an old Otis Thorpe, old Issac Austin, old Mitch Richmond, old Bernard King, etc., etc., etc.) You bet yo'%!!! I know this is something outsiders don't wanna hear, but I'm a tell it like it is – McGee is a McBUM to any organization playing sub .500 ball. Not only does the kid think he is better than his actual skill set, but now he got his momma talking up for him. He does NOT have the heart and drive and intelligence defensively of Tyson Chandler. He does NOT have the motor of Andre Jordan. He does NOT have the work ethic of, hell, Joel Anthony. So what are we specifically holding on to here? Face it: His stats are more "swole" than "Big Poppa Pump" during his WCW reign – anyone who actually WATCHES basketball games can attest that fact. He's a live body, with no moves, who fails to show up as soon as you put a body on him, who immaturity always overshadows any decent play he makes. Off'em asap. His trade value won't get any higher than it is RIGHT now.
Cut Andray Blatche
We have all heard of the saying "addition by subtraction" right? We spent more money in past years paying dudes that were no longer on our roster (see Lorenzo Williams, for example), so cut your losses, and keep it moving. I bet once this kat leaves D.C., he won't be in the league more than 2 additional seasons. If he spent LESS time in Stadium, and more in the gym, we'd be a .500 ball club. What more can I say?
Use 'Amnesty Clause' on Rashard Lewis
Hey Ernie Grunfield, just act like you never traded Gilbert Arenas. You see what Orlando did to Arenas, right? What the hell are you guys waiting on? Lewis is a cancer on the this roster for multiple reasons, but I'll only mention 3 out of 50. One, everyone knows what he's getting paid this season (22 million). Two, everyone knows he won't produce a 5th of what his salary is. Third, everyone knows he's never been a "mentor" type player to younger guys. I can go on and on like Erykah Badu, but, this is another "addition by subtraction" case here, something us Bullets/Wizards fans are used to dealing with with the team roster year after year.
Fire Ernie Grunfield
Mr. Grunfield, yo' time is UP playa! All that glory you had while with the New York Knicks and Milwaukee Bucks front office has been washed away in D.C. YOU are part of the problem. Be gone jo!

- Our Continued Commitment
The securing of continuation funding from BIG Lottery will ensure that the experience of the CTC Cycle Champions Programme is continued, and extended wherever and whenever possible. CTC will continue to provide cycling for health projects.
- Our Experience
The experience of running the champions programme has given CTC the opportunity to introduce cycling for the purposes of a a healthy lifestyle, not only physical wellbeing but also for mental health, through the expertise of the Cycling Development Officers based regionally throughout the UK.
- Our aim
The promotion of a healthy lifestyle by cycling will support the campaign driven policy delivering key evidence based messages.
- Why cycling and health?
Cycling is excellent exercise. More cycling will help more people meet the recommended physical activity guidelines, improve their physical and mental health and well-being, while reducing their risk of premature death and ill-health.
Cycling is far more likely to benefit an individual's health than damage it; and the more cyclists there are, the safer cycling becomes – the 'safety in numbers' effect.
Cycling fits into daily routines better than many other forms of exercise, because it doubles up as transport to work, school or the shops etc. It's easier than finding extra time to visit the gym and far less costly.
Lack of exercise can make people ill. It can lead to obesity, coronary heart disease (CHD), stroke, cancers, type 2 diabetes and other life-threatening conditions.
Obesity in particular is a growing, costly burden to the health service. Without action, 60% of men, 50% of women and 25% of children will be obese by 2050 in the UK.
CHD is the UK's biggest killer – well over 90,000 people die of it each year with over 33% of these attributable to lack of physical activity.
Unlike driving, cycling causes negligible harm to others, either through road injuries or pollution, so it's a healthy option not just for cyclists, but for everyone else too.
For more information and evidence on the above points, see CTC's campaigns briefings on health and road safety. We also produce a briefing on promoting cycling in the health sector. For other CTC campaigns briefings, see our campaigns briefings index page.

A TROUBLEMAKER once dubbed 'The Joker' could be facing jail after trying to shine a torch at a police helicopter in Burnley.
Career criminal Jason Gorton, 38, has lived under an anti-social behaviour order for the past two years after notching up more than 200 convictions.
He was given his nickname because of his tendency to 'smirk' in police mugshots, and the 'smiley' graffiti associated with him across the Gannow area of the town.
Gorton, of Girvan Grove, was last jailed in February, for breaching his anti-social behaviour order (ASBO) after being spotted in the back yard of a home in Piccadilly Square last October.
He was caught carrying gloves and a gardening glove.
Police also found a screwdriver, battery pack and torch nearby after his arrest.
Under the terms of his order, he had been banned from entering the boundary of any home in Burnley without permission, and he was jailed for six months.
He is now facing further court action after being caught shining a torch at a police helicopter, which had been deployed over his home.
Gorton had initially faced a charge of shining the light as to 'dazzle or distract' the pilot, an offence under the Civil Aviation Act.
But this was withdrawn by prosecutors in favour of an allegation that he shone the torch 'to cause harrassment, alarm or distress' to another, in breach of his ASBO.
The 38-year-old, after admitting the offence, was remanded on bail for pre-sentence reports until August 27, on condition he lives and sleeps at his home, off Paisley Street.

Cadaver is a simulated world of cyborgs and nature in realtime. The battlefield consists of forests, grain, water, grass, carcass (of course) and lots of other things. The game server manages the game and the rules. You start a server and connect some clients. The clients communicate with the server using a very primitive protocol. They can order cyborgs to harvest grain, attack enemies or cut forest. The game is not intended to be played by humans! Instead the idea is that you write artificial intelligence clients to beat the other artificial intelligences.

FIREFIGHTERS attended a flat fire believed to be caused by unattended cooking on Station Yard in Gillingham this morning.
A member of the public made a call to emergency services at 10.47am after smoke was seen coming out of the flat, leading to three crews from Gillingham and Shaftesbury Fire Stations attending the scene.
On arrival, fire fighters discovered the blaze was in the kitchen, and used two breathing apparatus and a hose to extinguish the flames, which were out by 11.15am.
They also recued one man from the building, who was treated at the scene by South Western Ambulance Service.
Crews then worked to dampen down the area affected by fire, which saw 10 per cent damage to the kitchen and lounge area, with further smoke damage to the rest of the flat.

I tried coming up with a way to get the toal length of tracks in a directory with pygame music, but it appears that it does not load it all in ram, thus you cannot without playing it?
So then i tried to load the mp3 file in sound since that does have an option to get_length(), however sound will not load mp3 files, must be ogg or wav. So then i converted the mp3 to wav, and it finally gave me the length of the song.
So questions comes to mind...
Why would you use mp3 files at all then, If wav files can be loaded as both music and sounds? Is there a loss in quality in wav files as opposed to mp3?

Today's Olympic line-up is all on MSNBC. Norway v. Switzerland at 3 p.m., Latvia v. the fighting Slovaks at 7:30, and Germany v. Belarus at midnight. And hooray for NBC! Two women's semis games being played tomorrow (none USA), so they're not on any channel line-up.
Now, since things seemed to have slowed down here a bit (I expect differently tomorrow, of course) we here at the Report figured that halfway through the Olympics, we'd check and see how things are going a bit closer to home. So here is your next guest blogger, Uncle Glennie himself. (Disclaimer: Uncle Glennie is a fictional character and not based on any person, living or dead).
(Admit it, you've been wondering where he's been hiding this week :)
Uncle Glennie Sounds (a Little) Off
I know that sometimes the only way Ranger fans can tell I'm still alive is the faint aroma of expensive stogies, but today, exclusively for the Ranger's Report, I was hoping to give you an update on the Rangers. Now, I can sum up the State of the Rangers in just two words: New York. No, really, check the map…
I've heard a lot of criticism regarding the big contracts that I have given to UFAs over the years. For example, take Brashear and his $2.8M two-year contract. Please? Somebody? Well, let me tell you, Brash is worth it. He doesn't know the meaning of the word fear, but then again he doesn't know the meaning of most words. Now about Redden's $6.5 million a year for six years, do you know how many Jason Krogs and Christian Backmans that much money would buy? Look, if I didn't pay so much for Rozival, Redden and Drury, there would be a hell of a lot more under-achieving players on this team. With the salary cap, those high contracts have really limited how many lousy, over-age players I'm able to acquire. And that's GOT to be a good thing.
Another thing that's starting to bug me — those "Fire Sather" chants when we're losing. I wish I had a dollar for every chant I've heard this year. There's 18,200 fans per game, times 41 home games, and they must chant it at least 4 times a game. That's some 3 million chants in a year. Wait a minute, I AM getting a dollar each time someone yells "Fire Sather." Keep it up Ranger Fans! I deserve a raise.
I will tell you this though; I'm getting fed up having to deal with New York newspaper reporters. Carpiniello, Brooks, Zipay, Gross…It's always 'The Rangers Lose Again," "Rangers Held Scoreless." "Glennie has lost his Touch." It's getting so bad, the news reporters are driving me to drink. These Press Shills are making me thirsty!
Speaking of drinking, while I was in my suite during that last Ranger game, I invented a new drink. It's made of Stoli Vodka and prune juice. I call it a "Russian Thru©." At least that's how Muck described it after slamming half a dozen…And to our Russian speaking fans, (CCCP, ilb, MAKO, et al) I want to make a Russian toast— "Moio sudno na vozdušnoy poduške polno ugrey" — I hope I got it right, Anisimov taught it to me!
(singing) "Short people got no reason, to live…" Oh-oh! I know that ring tone — it's Gary Bettman. Hello there, Czar, How are you and the little Czardine doing? You know, Colie Campbell…OK, so how long does Avery have to sit out this time? Oh. No? Then what did you call for? No thanks; the Rangers are NOT interested in playing in a New Year's Day outdoor game. We have an agreement with Steinbrenner, we stay out of Yankee Stadium, and he stays out of MSG. If we DID agree to play would you call off those referee dogs of yours? Well, OK, if you say they're not calling extra penalties on the Rangers, then I guess they're not. Sure, and Fox News is fair and balanced. (click)
I notice there have been a few complaints about our scouting and drafting through the years. I have to admit it — some mistakes were made. (Not by me though.) Those responsible are long gone. So is the second group. The third bunch was demoted to Charlotte, and the fourth…gone after the Olympic roster freeze. Anyway, our newest Director of Player Personnel, Mr. Fudd, will bring us up to date on Ranger Scouting.
Fudd: Hewwo, Gwen. I just want to tell evwyone at the Wangers Weport that I have someone to share the dwafting wesponsibiwities — my fwend, Sylvester. After the Owimpics I'm going on the woad to weview the Cawowina Huwwicanes, and the Detwoit Wed Wings. Sylvester, where will you be?
Sylvester: I'm thhuppothed to th-ee the Than Ho-thay Tharkth, and the Thaint Louithh Bluthes thometime before thh-pring…
Glennie: You know, I think it would be better if you two switched assignments. Some days it's just Looney Tunes around here…
Well Ranger Fans, I hope this little chat has put all your fears to rest. Remember: Doing a job right just gets the job done. Doing it half-assed for ten years guarantees you job security. As long as we still barely make the playoffs and sell out Madison Square Garden, my job is safe. Then Junior can concentrate on HIS job — killing the Knicks.
Forever Yours, (and it really looks that way)
Uncle Gwennie
(That damn Fudd! Now he's got me doing it…)
Afternoon update:
You asked for it, you got it. Lots of curling today! Sorry I don't know the channel, but it's a good guess that it's USA, because USA women take on Great Britain at 5 p.m. ET. I know you're going to watch :)
Early evening update:
I admit it, I'm not going to be around for the fighting Slovaks at midnight. But here's your Swiss v. Norway recap.Vikingstad got Ducked!
Curling: Men won one! I didn't see, did they pull that final end guy? Must have, they won. Women still playing….

Citalopram solutionPronunciation
Generic Name: citalopram (sye-TAL-oh-pram)
Brand Name: Celexa
Antidepressants may increase the risk of suicidal thoughts or actions in children, teenagers, and young adults. However, depression and certain other mental problems may also increase the risk of suicide. Talk with the patient's doctor to be sure that the benefits of using citalopram solution outweigh the risks.
Families and caregivers must closely watch patients who take citalopram solution. It is important to keep in close contact with the patient's doctor. Tell the doctor right away if the patient has symptoms like worsened depression, suicidal thoughts, or changes in behavior. Discuss any questions with the patient's doctor.
Citalopram solution is not approved for use in children. Talk with the doctor.
Citalopram solution is used for:
Treating depression. It may also be used for other conditions as determined by your doctor.
Citalopram solution is a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI). It works by restoring the balance of serotonin, a natural substance in the brain, which helps to improve certain mood problems.
Do NOT use citalopram solution if:
- you are allergic to any ingredient in citalopram solution or to escitalopram
- you have a certain type of irregular heartbeat (long QT syndrome), slow heartbeat, severe heart failure, a recent heart attack, or uncorrected low blood potassium or magnesium levels
- you are taking or have taken linezolid or a monoamine oxidase inhibitor (MAOI) (eg, phenelzine, selegiline) within the last 14 days
- you are taking certain antiarrhythmics (eg, dronedarone, quinidine, procainamide, amiodarone, sotalol), certain antibiotics (eg, gatifloxacin, moxifloxacin), escitalopram, levomethadyl, methadone, pentamidine, phenothiazines (eg, chlorpromazine, thioridazine), or pimozide
Contact your doctor or health care provider right away if any of these apply to you.
Before using citalopram solution:
Some medical conditions may interact with citalopram solution. Tell your doctor or pharmacist if you have any medical conditions, especially if any of the following apply to you:
- if you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or are breast-feeding
- if you are taking any prescription or nonprescription medicine, herbal preparation, or dietary supplement
- if you have allergies to medicines, foods, or other substances
- if you or a family member has a history of bipolar disorder (manic depression), other mental or mood problems, suicidal thoughts or attempts, or alcohol or substance abuse
- if you have a history of seizures, liver problems, kidney problems, heart problems (eg, heart failure, slow or irregular heartbeat), high blood pressure, stroke, bleeding problems, increased eye pressure or glaucoma, or stomach or bowel bleeding
- if you have a condition or take medicine that may increase your risk of low potassium or magnesium levels. Check with your doctor if you are not sure if any of your conditions or medicines may increase this risk
- if you are dehydrated, have low blood volume or low blood sodium levels, or drink alcohol
- if you will be having electroconvulsive therapy (ECT)
- if you take any medicine that may increase the risk of a certain type of irregular heartbeat (prolonged QT interval). Check with your doctor or pharmacist if you are unsure if any of your medicines may increase the risk of this type of irregular heartbeat
- if you are taking a medicine that contains methylene blue
Some MEDICINES MAY INTERACT with citalopram solution. Tell your health care provider if you are taking any other medicines, especially any of the following:
- Many prescription and nonprescription medicines (eg, used for aches and pain, allergies, autism, blood thinning, cancer, heartburn, high blood pressure, immune system suppression, infections, irregular heartbeat or other heart problems, migraine headaches, nausea and vomiting, schizophrenia or other mental or mood problems, seizures, stomach or bowel problems, swelling or fluid retention, weight management), multivitamin products, or herbal or dietary supplements because they may interact with citalopram solution. Ask your doctor or pharmacist if you are unsure if any of your medicines might interact with citalopram solution
This may not be a complete list of all interactions that may occur. Ask your health care provider if citalopram solution may interact with other medicines that you take. Check with your health care provider before you start, stop, or change the dose of any medicine.
How to use citalopram solution:
Use citalopram solution as directed by your doctor. Check the label on the medicine for exact dosing instructions.
- Citalopram solution comes with an extra patient information sheet called a Medication Guide. Read it carefully. Read it again each time you get citalopram solution refilled.
- Take citalopram solution by mouth with or without food.
- Use a measuring device marked for medicine dosing. Ask your pharmacist for help if you are unsure of how to measure your dose.
- Taking citalopram solution at the same time each day will help you remember to take it.
- Do not suddenly stop taking citalopram solution without checking with your doctor. You may have an increased risk of side effects (eg, mental or mood changes, numbness or tingling of the skin, dizziness, confusion, headache, trouble sleeping, unusual tiredness). If you need to stop citalopram solution, your doctor may need to gradually lower your dose.
- Continue to take citalopram solution even if you feel well. Do not miss any doses.
- If you miss a dose of citalopram solution, take it as soon as possible. If it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and go back to your regular dosing schedule. Do not take 2 doses at once.
Ask your health care provider any questions you may have about how to use citalopram solution.
Important safety information:

The lines that started out last night were intact for today's short practice, most notably with Petr Prucha at right wing alongside Brandon Dubinsky and Aaron Voros.
That line was just OK against the Penguins, but I thought Prucha and Dubinsky were most effective in the third period, when Voros was replaced for several shifts by Fred Sjostrom. The hustle of that combination led to a power play, which gave way to the Rangers' first goal.
We'll have plenty more tomorrow for the first visit of the season to the Islanders, but not much else today. I seem to be fighting something passed along by one of my sons. That's OK. This will all be noted when it's time to make out my will.

THERE will be World Cup fun by the lorry-load at one Blackburn pub.
Landlord Darren Heggie, 35, is aiming to build on the success of four years ago after buying and modifying a lorry trailer into a big screen for the five-week tournament.
Father-of-two Darren, who has run the Havelock Inn for almost eight years, purchased the trailer for £700 and spent a further £1,500 transforming it into a big screen.
The wooden screen has now been erected and painted with special projector-friendly paint.
Last year, the pub hosted a big screen but had to use scaffolding to keep it in place and struggled with lighting issues.
It attracted around 600 people per game and Darren is hoping to repeat that success this time around.
The pub, in Havelock Street, is also set to be draped in a 45ft by 12ft England flag for the duration of the tournament.
Darren said: "It was a great success four years ago and I'm hoping to build on that this time around. We had some issues with it last time, including the light, but we have sorted that now.
"The flag for the front of the pub is currently being finished and it should be ready in time for the first game."
Children are welcome to attend but not for the first England match which starts at 11pm on Saturday, June 14.

Living Art Lab
The Living Art Lab activity unites various research or training seminars around the theme of living art*. Living art is a form of expression specific to the digital medium.ARCANE also facilitates, via training initiatives and artist workshops, exchanges of experiences and forward-looking roundtables. The initiatives range from introductory sessions to comprehensive seminars, such as "les États Généraux de l'Écriture Interactive" (the General Assembly on Interactive Writing).
*This term is proposed by Florent Aziosmanoff, and is notably presented in his book "Living Art" published by CNRS in January 2010.
This form of expression has enabled the emergence of a new expression discipline, one specific to the digital medium. It has also grown in all the other expression and communication domains: games and entertainment, information, education, industrial visualisation, various services etc.
Research activities aim to contribute to the emergence of a universal, defined language to enable "living-type" artistic work to be understood, described and analysed, as well as all other creative forms using the same medium (design, architecture, communication, services, teaching, entertainment etc).
In fact, even though language often starts and develops in the area of artistic expression, its strength is based on the universal nature of its use in other related areas. This is the case with cinematographic language, for example, which is used in fiction as well as documentaries, news, advertisements and even training.
Research activities combine various seminars, bringing together practitioners and researchers. These seminars will be transcribed and published on the Cube's website so everyone can have access to their starting material. Participants may use this text in their own work or publications, as well as anyone consulting the text, subject to them citing the full source: seminar and speaker. This makes it a "shared pool" which anyone can dip into to further develop their own thinking or top up with their own contributions.
Research activities are carried out hand in hand with the Cube Creation Workshop which provides them with raw material for analysis and in return they provide it with their conceptual advances. They also work concurrently with the living art training programme which benefits from their comments and conclusions. An international lecture will also periodically give cadence to their work.
The training itself will be in the form of an introduction to living art seminar. Biannual and lasting six days, this seminar is open to artists wanting to commit to the living art field as well as professionals working with the artists (producers, broadcasters, critics etc).
"Living Art" Seminar
Monday and tuesday 25 and 26 May / Monday and tuesday 31 May and 1 June /...

If you know me, then you know I'm kind of a worrier. I tend to stress myself out over little things…sometimes. When I was asked to be one of the bloggers to style a few models for a spring themed runway show at the 365Hangers.com Style-A-Thon, I immediately said Yes! Then I sat back and thought about it…what am I doing? Why did I agree to this? I've never done anything like this before, so of course I felt out of my league.
Yesterday, I styled two models and I realized I made a lot out of nothing. That's me! LOL! Ugh…I don't know why I do this to myself. Thank goodness for amazing friends. They are so amazingly supportive and helpful. And a big THANK YOU to Robin and Shalon for walking in the show for me. Shalon wore a beautiful DKNYC wrap dress and Robin rocked a Jessica Simpson floral dress (both available at 365Hangers.com). And they both worked that runway! It was a lot of fun.
The event was held at Space 1520 in Los Angeles on a drizzly morning, but thank goodness the sun came out! There was music and shopping. Belina, Dama Handbags, Nicolita, and Mr. Kate were on hand. We had snacks from PopChips, drinks from Dry Soda Co., and candy from The Candy Chef! And don't get me started on my amazing gift bag. Lots of goodies from Argo Tea, Dama Handbags, NCLA, Pure Ice, Chipkos, The Candy Chef, and Mr. Kate. Thank you to the entire 365Hangers.com team…especially Sasha and Ferial. xoxo
Here are some pics I took…had a little fun when editing them. LOL! Hope you like!
My AMAZINGLY beautiful models, Shalon and Robin.
Disclosure: I did receive a complimentary gift bag at this event.

text: It is that time for Jennifer Lopez. If she doesn't want to marry you then she is done with you. I have been saying for awhile that Jennifer Lopez and Casper Smart are done. The public photos together are way down and she can't handle what he did to her and is always one second away from embarrassing her. Jennifer likes to take things slowly when it comes to splits. There is the no more marriage talk followed by lots of solo photos of her looking as hot as she can the leaked stories that things are on the rocks followed by some new project that is taking up her time (often with the person she is about to split with) and then the split. In her past, Jennifer has always alternated between celeb and non-celeb. It is now the turn of some rich actor or celebrity to start dating Jennifer. She prefers people with bigger fame than her who also have a huge wallet and know how to use it on her and also doesn't mind the bad luck jinx she brings to them. With the jinx in mind and the inevitable career downfall I was wondering who you would want that happen to them. Remember though, before their financial and career downfall there will be non-stop publicity of the couple and even a possible marriage.
