'Flying Monsters' - American Musem of Natural History, LeFrak Theater
Through January 04, 2013 - Upper West Side
"Flying Monsters" is a new giant screen adventure about the awe-inspiring world of a group of reptiles who ruled the skies about 220 million years ago.
Produced by award-winning Atlantic Productions and distributed by National Geographic Entertainment, the film follows world-renowned naturalist Sir David Attenborough as he sets out to uncover the truth about the enigmatic pterosaurs, who, after insects, were the first creatures to fly. Attenborough, who wrote and narrates the film, works with scientists and engineers to try and understand how and why pterosaurs flew, traveling to New Mexico's "Ghost Ranch," Big Bend National Park in Texas, Lyme Regis in the United Kingdom, an ancient pterosaur landing site in Southern France, a fossil pit in Germany where near-perfect pterosaur specimens have been found, and China's remote Liaoning Province in search of answers.
How did creatures the size of giraffes with a wingspan of 45 feet fly through the air? The audience will be immersed in the world of the pterosaur and experience the enormous challenges these creatures faced to survive, let alone flourish, in prehistoric skies. The film will introduce viewers to Dimorphodon, the earliest known pterosaur with a complete fossil, Darwinopterus, which, with a lighter build than Dimorphodon, had a wingspan of 2.3-3.3 feet, Tapejara, which may have configured its body to sail across the ocean in search of prey, and Quetzalcoatlus, which, with a wingspan of 33-40 feet and an 8-foot-long beak, is the biggest known animal that has ever flown.
Flying Monsters 3D won a BAFTA award in 2011 from the British Academy of Film and Television Arts in the Specialist Factual category, Best 3D Program at the 2011 Jackson Hole Wildlife Film Festival, and Best Science Film from the Association of International Broadcasting.
The film will screen at the museum through January 4, 2013.
Entrance to the museum is included in movie ticket price.

Creatures of Light: Nature's Bioluminescence - American Museum of Natural History
Through January 06, 2013 - Upper West Side
This exhibition features the extraordinary organisms that produce light, from the flickering fireflies found in backyards across the Northeast to the alien deep-sea fishes that illuminate the perpetually dark depths of the oceans.
Rare among plants and animals that live on land, the ability to glow--that is, generate light through a chemical reaction--is much more common in the ocean, where up to 90 percent of animals at depths below 700 meters are bioluminescent, including many unknown to science. Like the crystal jelly whose glow led to a revolution in cell biology, these animals may hold important clues to essential questions, but scientists are in a race against time as habitats are increasingly threatened by pollution, overfishing, and global climate change.
Visitors will move through a series of re-created environments, from the familiar to the extreme, to explore the diversity of organisms that glow and how they do it; discover the variety of ways in which light is used to attract a mate, lure unsuspecting prey, or defend against a predator; and learn how, where, and why scientists study this amazing natural phenomenon. Throughout the exhibition, iPads featuring videos, infographics, photo albums, and animations will provide opportunities to hear directly from researchers about their work.
Starting in a local meadow on "a summer's night," where fireflies use unique patterns of flashing light to communicate with potential mates, visitors will descend into "a mysterious cave" in New Zealand to watch a fantastic spectacle of luminescent "fishing lines" strung by larval gnats (glowworms) to trap prey.
A unique interactive environment in "a sparkling sea" will introduce the brilliant light displays of Mosquito Bay on Puerto Rico's Vieques Island, where high concentrations of microscopic dinoflagellates, a type of plankton, create a halo around anything that moves through the water. Visitors will activate the bioluminescent bay as they move through this section.
"The night dive" will feature a large-scale, day-and-night interactive image of the Cayman Islands' Bloody Bay Wall, a remarkable coral wall that is home to both bioluminescent and biofluorescent animals, which glow only after exposure to light.
In "altered light," visitors will encounter the jellyfish Aequorea victoria, which combines bioluminescence with biofluorescence (in which an organism's molecules absorb blue light, then radiate it at a lower energy, longer wavelength) to emit flashes of green light. The protein found in its light organs, known as the green fluorescent protein (GFP), has become a critical tool in cellular and developmental biology, used for mapping neural circuits, observing cancer cells, and much more.
Borrowed Light will feature live flashlight fishes, which harbor bioluminescent bacteria in an organ under their eyes, and highlight symbiotic relationships.
"The deep ocean" will take visitors into the perpetually dark deep ocean, which comprises the vast majority of the planet's habitable space. A deep sea theater will reveal the diversity of animals that marine biologists have captured on camera, including female anglerfishes waving bioluminescent "lures" to attract prey and mates, and jellyfishes that light up like a flashing pinwheel when threatened.

With Santa's permission, Buddy embarks on a journey to New York City to find his birth father and discover his true identity. Faced with the harsh reality that his father is on the naughty list and his step-brother doesn't even believe in Santa, Buddy is determined to win over his new family and help New York remember the true meaning of Christmas.
Based on the 2003 movie Elf starring Will Ferrell, "ELF: The Musical" has become a New York holiday tradition.
Nybelwyck Hall: A Mansion in Miniature - Hudson River Museum - Glenview
Through January 08, 2013 - Yonkers
Nybelwyck Hall, a dollhouse representing Lilliputian life at its most luxurious, makes its appearance in Glenview, the Museum's 1897 river home. The 24-room, granite-and-mortar Glenview, and Nybelwyck, the 24-room dollhouse, share architectural features - a Great Hall and a double staircase that curves from the top floor down to the Hall. Nybelwyck's central facade is loosely based on the Hudson River estate, Staatsburg, the Ogden Mills House. The orange-and-green colors on its Victorian addition are reminiscent of Wilderstein, in Rhinebeck, the family home of Franklin Delano Roosevelt's personal secretary. Dollhouse enthusiast Mark O'Banks created Nybelwyck Hall over the course of a decade and looked to the wisdom of a ouija board to name his creation. The house is furnished with found objects in its 24 rooms, as well as rugs O'Banks designed. Among its 900 objects are minute musical instruments that play, doors with intricate locks that work, and a tiny dollhouse within the dollhouse's nursery.

Witness: The Art of Jerry Pinkney - Hudson River Museum
Through January 13, 2013 - Yonkers
In 100 books, Jerry Pinkney has turned his artist's eye and hand to the story - a classic, a folktale, a fable - and readers all over the world saw something new, something they wanted to read and to remember. Pinkney is the master of the American picture book. More than 120 watercolor illustrations by the artist, who lives in Westchester, will be on view in the first major overview of his career as a designer and illustrator in "Witness: The Art of Jerry Pinkney." The exhibition follows his 2010 award of the Randolph Caldecott Medal for "The Lion and the Mouse." The Hudson River Museum is the only New York showing for this exhibition on national tour, organized by the Norman Rockwell Museum in Stockbridge, Massachusetts. Pinkney has found it interesting to trace how the chapters of his life have knitted themselves into his art, touching on the cultural themes of the African-American experience. He uncovers, again and again, the energy in a small moment that surprisingly can change a life or turn an event in history. Most recently in his almost wordless adaptation of the Aesop fable, "The Lion and The Mouse," two creatures on a faraway African plain choose not the hard chase and bloody battle but, instead, exchange kindnesses. Fascinated with wildlife, Pinkney, in many books including "The Brer Rabbit" in "The Last Tales of Uncle Remus" shows us the human qualities of an animal as he shows us the animal in its natural setting. Pinkney, Philadelphia born and bred, and now a long-time New Yorker, has illustrated children's books since 1964, but it was not an easy path. Blacks were not expected to be able to forge careers in the art field. Trained as a commercial artist at a vocational school, he persisted and won a scholarship to the Philadelphia College of Art where his work took on the shading and detail for which he is now renowned, and he where he began to use color to convey mood and emotion. He has most often worked on children's books that celebrate multiculturalism and African-American heritage, as he took on the task of reshaping the perceptions of the stereotypes of blacks. He designed the first nine stamps of the US Postal Service's Black Heritage series. Art critics will look at the color of Pinkney's illustrations, the scarlet curve of Little Red Riding Hood's cloak, the golden blade of grass on the Serengeti plane. Sociologists will look at Pinkney the little boy, who without a visit to a museum or an art class, drew at home on the back of wallpaper samples. What the viewer will see though, in "The Art of Jerry Pinkney" is his wish: "It has always been my intent for my work to continue to breathe after publication. My hope is that (museum visitors) will believe that Jerry Pinkney cares deeply for people, making art, and visual storytelling." The exhibition includes a 96-page illustrated catalog that provides new scholarship into Pinkney's work in essays by the exhibition's co-curator Stephanie Haboush Plunkett, Dr. Gerald L. Early, and others. On view through January 13, 2013.

The RAMMELLZEE Galaxseum - Children's Museum of the Arts
Through January 30, 2013 - West Village
The Children's Museum of the Arts presents the most comprehensive collection of works to-date by visionary artist and MC, RAMMELLZEE. Entitled The RAMMELLZEE Galaxseum, the exhibition will reveal the inner workings of RAMMELLZEE's artistic vision and trace his career trajectory which began in the 1970s as a pioneering "Wild Style" graffiti writer and hip hop MC and evolved in manifesto and medium to the far reaches of the imagination.
RAMMELLZEE's legend grew in a Tribeca loft known as the "Battle Station," where the artist conceived a new vision for the future – a self-made mythology, known as Gothic Futurism, with its own set of heroes and villains, which he called Recyclers and Trashers or more notably, Garbage Gods and Monster Models. For over 30 years, RAMMELLZEE inhabited the universe he created, building layer upon layer of legend and legacy.

Magnificent Trees of The New York Botanical Garden - New York Botanical Garden
Through April 14, 2013 - Bronx
Larry Lederman, landscape photographer and member of NYBG's Board of Advisors, has spent years walking the garden grounds to observe and photograph trees and vistas in all seasons and at all times of day. Lush images featuring their diversity and visual impact are on view in the gallery space.
The New York Botanical Garden is home to more than 30,000 trees, some in woodland, some in groves, and some standing in solitary majesty. Magnificent Trees is lavishly illustrated with photographs by Larry Lederman and accompanied by descriptions by Todd A. Forrest, Arthur Ross vice president for horticulture and living collections at the garden. An authority on the diverse species present across the 250-acre landscape, Forrest details their fascinating histories -- from their vital role in Native American life and culture to their function in neutral territory during the Revolutionary War. Lederman captures their grandeur in hundreds of stunning images and portrays their diversity with photographs that reveal the trees in myriad fascinating perspectives: in landscape views that convey the garden's genius loci; portraits illustrating the architecture and profound visual impact of select trees; remarkable details of flowers, fruit, leaves, and bark; and impressionistic images, abstract in character yet beautiful in composition.

Our Global Kitchen: Food, Nature, Culture - American Museum of Natural History
Through August 30, 2013 - Upper West Side
Food is the one thing that unites every culture, race, and generation: over one billion people work in agriculture and every person eats. Food is used as a social ritual, a holiday tradition, a symbol of comfort, a gift, and an excuse to catch up with friends. The curators of this exhibition hope it will encourage visitors (both grown ups and kids) to examine a thing we all do everyday -- eat! -- and think about everything that goes into that act more consciously. The exhibition touches on a lot of serious issues such as the scarcity of food predicted for the future, alternatives to avoid that shortage, and childhood obesity.
'Twas the Night Before Christmas: A Holiday Reading With NBC New York's Anchor Pat Battle - Church of the Intercession
Through December 23, 2013 - Manhattan
One of New York's longest running family holiday traditions is the annual recitation of Clement Clarke Moore's 'Twas the Night Before Christmas, this year read by News 4 New York's anchor Pat Battle, at historic Church of the Intercession. Lantern procession, wreath-laying at Moore's grave site and reception immediately follow at Trinity Church Cemetery & Mausoleum, located across from the church.
Pat Battle joined NBC New York in April 1996. She serves as co-anchor for "Weekend Today in New York" and is one of the station's New Jersey correspondents. Battle's reports focus on issues affecting the Garden State, as well as breaking news of the day.
Clement Clarke Moore (1779-1863) was the son of Dr. Benjamin Moore, the sixth rector of Trinity Parish. In 1822, as a Christmas present for his six children, Moore wrote the poem also known as "A Visit from St. Nicholas" that became a cherished classic. Moore is buried at Trinity Church Cemetery & Mausoleum, which is located across from The Church of the Intercession.

NAT Pepperell and Owen Irish were double award winners at Taunton Town's presentation evening held in the clubhouse.
Club captain Irish was the inaugural recipient of the Ernie Price Memorial Cup, an award donated by Joyce Price in memory of her late husband Ernie who played for the club in the 1950s and 60s before becoming manager and later going on to become one its first directors.
Ernie's son John and grandson Jamie have also worn the Town colours.
The new trophy will be given each year to a player for factors such as their reliability, their willingness to go the extra mile and their club spirit and passion.
Unfortunately the rescheduling of the presentation from a fortnight earlier meant a sizeable number of players were unable to attend the evening, the holidaying Irish included, so the cup was accepted on his behalf from Joyce by assistant manager Mo Hopkins. It was somewhat fitting that the first winner was Irish who was also recognised after reaching a milestone 150 appearances for the club during the past season along with Rodney Marsh.
Irish made his Town debut on November 29, 2008 at home to AFC Hayes and despite a bad leg break in 2010 has gone on to make 156 appearances (153 full, three sub) and score 14 goals. His 150th game was the Somerset Premier Cup semi-final win at Bath City.
Marsh meanwhile first pulled on a Peacocks shirt on November 21, 2009 at home to Abingdon United but this debut did not officially count in the record books as the game was abandoned at half time due to a waterlogged pitch.
His recognised debut came a week later away at VT FC (now Sholing) and he has since made 159 appearances for the club (143 full, 16 sub) and scored 59 goals with his 150th match being reached when he came on as a sub at Merthyr Town in October.
Both players have been given a commemorative award and club tie to mark their achievement.
Pepperell also picked up two prizes on the night. Apart from winning the Top Goalscorer award, he also scooped the Goal of the Season accolade for his excellent all-important effort against Frome Town to win the Somerset Premier Cup.
Voting for the Supporters' Player of the Year to win the Frank Summers Trophy was again a close run thing but it was centre half Ben Mammola who emerged victorious by a narrow margin, with Jamie Short runner-up, and goalkeeper Joe Perry and Irish tying for third place.
Players' Player of the Year went to Rob Norrish who beat off stiff competition from Steve Kingdon and Mammola to win the Norman Gregory Cup. The Chairman's Award was presented by Kevin Sturmey to manager Leigh Robinson to acknowledge his hard work and consequent success during the past year while another new award, the Champagne Performer, went to Chris Young who accumulated the most Man of the Match and Player of the Month accolades over the season.
The Tom Harris Trophy for Clubman of the Year went to two people for the first time. Neil and Jackie Cottey were recognised for their involvement with the club over a number of years, especially with keeping the Supporters Club running in the face of dwindling numbers.
The Under 18s' Player of the Year trophy went to Sam Steel while the Players' Player prize was awarded to Lewis Waldy in his first season with the club.
After a hog roast and buffet prepared by Brett Pinn, youth team manager Trevor Jenkins, first team boss Leigh Robinson and chairman Kevin Sturmey reviewed their respective seasons which was followed by the awards ceremony.
Physio Shawnika Sergeant was also presented with a bouquet of flowers to mark her departure after four years at the club.
Full list of winners. First Team – April Player of the Month: Jamie Short; Top Goalscorer: Nat Pepperell; Goal of the Season: Nat Pepperell; Champagne Performer: Chris Young; Players' Player of the Year: Rob Norrish; Supporters' Player of the Year: Ben Mammola; Ernie Price Memorial Cup: Owen Irish; 150 Appearances Award: Owen Irish and Rodney Marsh; Youth Team – Top Goalscorer: Zac Ryder; Players' Player of the Year: Lewis Waldy; Player of the Year: Sam Steel; Club Awards – Clubpersons (Clubman) of the Year: Neil and Jackie Cottey; Chairman's Award: Leigh Robinson.

MICHAL Kapicka has been axed from the Swindon Wildcats line-up after head coach Ryan Aldridge acted to trim down the import section of his roster.
Matias Perkkio's return to fitness on Sunday meant the Link Centre head coach had five imports at his disposal for the clash against visiting Milton Keynes, which Swindon lost 5-2.
Aldridge took the decision to select forwards Jonas Hoog, Kapicka and Perkkio alongside D-man Jan Melichar, leaving recent signing Tomas Fojtik on the sidelines, as EPL teams are only permitted to include four imports in their matchnight squads.
The head coach told the Advertiser afterwards that one of the five imports would be released, and Kapicka is the man who has left the Link Centre for good.
The 26-year old former Mulhouse player joined the Wildcats at the start of the season and made 19 appearances, scoring 11 goals and adding 11 assists for 22 points in total.
Aldridge wanted to strike a balance in his side and felt releasing the Czech was the best solution.
"It's always tough to make this kind of decision," he said.
"We need to be better as a team and for that something has to change, having Tomas (Fojtik) in the line-up gives us five imports and we can't carry that for long.
"I wish Kaps all the best for the future. He leaves the club with our best wishes and we'd like to thank him for all of his efforts in a Wildcats shirt."
Aldridge's decision means Hoog, Perkkio, Melichar and Fojtik can all breathe easy in the knowledge that their roles in the team are safe.
Fojtik was left out of the line-up for the defeat to Milton Keynes, and Aldridge explained why he decided to leave the giant D-man out.
"We were two British forwards short (in Nicky Watt and Jamie Hayes), so for us to go with six D and short on the forward end just didn't make sense," he said. "Looking at it now having made three defensive errors, maybe having two defensive imports in the line-up would have benefited us.
Wildcats are due to play a rare midweek game tonight, as they make the trip to Sheffield (7.30pm).

Anthony LaPaglia is finalising a deal to play a seasoned assassin with a neurotic side in the new US TV drama Boomerang.
The pilot, written by Davey Holmes, is about the Hamiltons, a family who serves as assassins for the US government.
LaPaglia will play Bill, ex-CIA and patriarch of the Hamilton clan, while Felicity Huffman will play his wife Margie Hamilton, according to a story on industry website Deadline.com.
Michael Stahl-David and Patrick Heusinger will play the adult sons of the Hamilton clan who are also in the government assassin business.
LaPaglia was recently seen in Underground: The Julian Assange Story shown in Australia on Network Ten last October. The TV movie is set for a local cinema release in Australia in March and April.
LaPaglia joins a swell of Australians to have booked gigs in high-profile US pilots this season.
It has just been announced that Rachel Griffiths will star in the new NBC series Camp, which is to be filmed in Australia, while Red Dog's Rachael Taylor has signed on for a still-untitled political thriller that will also star former X-Files actress Gillian Anderson.
Oscar darling Jacki Weaver, meanwhile, has landed a role in new comedy The McCarthys as the matriarch of a sports-crazed Irish-Catholic Boston family.
And Toni Collette will play a Washington surgeon in Hostages, whose connection to the US president leaves her family in danger.
Over the past two weeks, a flush of former Home and Away stars have also landed US TV roles.

Many people with
irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) find that eating
prompts symptoms of abdominal pain, constipation, diarrhea (or, sometimes,
alternating periods of constipation and diarrhea), and bloating. Making
adjustments to your diet can provide relief.
Irritable bowel
syndrome (IBS) is a disorder of the intestines that causes abdominal (belly) pain or
discomfort. The pain may occur alone or along with constipation or diarrhea.
Other symptoms include bloating, mucus in stools, or a sense that you have not
completely emptied your bowels.
In irritable bowel syndrome, you have symptoms in the digestive tract but doctors can find no change in
physical structure, such as inflammation or tumors.
It is not clear what causes irritable bowel syndrome, and the cause may be different for different people. Some ideas for what causes IBS include problems with the way signals are sent between the brain and the digestive tract, problems digesting certain foods, and stress or anxiety. People with IBS may have unusually sensitive intestines or problems with the way the muscles of the intestines move.
Managing stress and changing your diet are the main treatments for
the condition. Medicines may be used to treat severe symptoms that interrupt
daily activities.
Irritable bowel syndrome occurs because of a blockage
in the large intestine.
Irritable bowel syndrome does not occur because
of a blockage or structural problem in the large intestine. IBS is a functional
bowel disorder, which means that intestinal movement is abnormal but doctors
can find no structural abnormality in the intestines.
Continue to Why?
No particular foods cause everyone with IBS to have
symptoms. Doctors do not advocate a particular diet to manage symptoms. But
through trial and error, many people find that they feel better when they stop
eating certain foods.
Many people find that their irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) symptoms
become worse after they eat. Sometimes certain foods make symptoms
worse. Foods most commonly listed as causing symptoms include:
Other types of food that can make IBS symptoms worse include:
People with irritable bowel syndrome do not need to
follow a special diet.
People with irritable bowel syndrome
do not need to follow a special diet. No particular diet
is recommended for everyone with IBS. But many people with irritable bowel
syndrome do find that some foods tend to cause them to have symptoms.
People with irritable bowel syndrome do not need to follow a special diet. No particular diet is recommended
for everyone with IBS. But many people with irritable bowel syndrome do find that some foods tend
to cause them to have symptoms.
Continue to How?
Although there is no particular diet to follow, you can manage your
irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) by limiting or eliminating foods that may bring
on symptoms, particularly diarrhea, gas, and bloating. Make sure you don't stop eating completely from any one food group without talking with a dietitian. You need to make sure you are still getting all the nutrients you need.
Here are some suggestions to get you started:
Some people who have IBS use a
daily food diary to keep track of what they eat and whether they have any
symptoms after eating certain foods. The diary also can be a good way to record
what is going on in your life. Stress plays a role in IBS: If you are aware
that particular stresses bring on symptoms, you can try to reduce those
Milk sugar (lactose) can trigger IBS symptoms.
Lactose can trigger irritable bowel symptoms
because it may not be digested well by your body and can increase the amount of fluid in the intestines. Lactose can also cause gas and bloating when undigested lactose passes into the large intestine. But not everyone will respond
the same way to certain foods or beverages.
Increasing fiber in the diet does not improve symptoms
of irritable bowel syndrome in everyone.
Fiber does not improve the symptoms of
irritable bowel syndrome in everyone. Fiber is most effective for people with
IBS who mainly have constipation. It also may help some people with diarrhea,
because fiber absorbs water. But for some people with IBS, fiber can make
symptoms, such as gas and bloating, worse.
Continue to Where?
Be sure to talk to your doctor before beginning a plan to reduce or eliminate certain foods from
your diet. It's fine to eliminate beverages such as alcohol or caffeine or
items such as sugarless gum or candy, but be careful before removing entire food
groups, such as dairy, vegetables, or fruits.
You may be able to eat some fruits
and vegetables but not others. Your doctor may recommend that you
consult a registered dietitian to help you plan a nutritious menu that helps
reduce your symptoms.

I AM a bartender.
I AM WEARING Topman jeans, a hoodie from the Borough Market in London and shoes by Keds. This scarf is not mine and my Flexfit hat is from an op shop. I bought these sunnies from General Pants and my socks are different colours because I don't have any pairs, for some reason.
MY STYLE IS mix and match. Typical urban London street look with a bit of Melbourne.
I ADMIRE THE STYLE OF Luke Pritchard from the Kooks and Pete Doherty from the Libertines. They're both pretty indie and I like the tight jeans and casual look they have.
MY FAVOURITE LABEL is Topman, but I haven't been to the one in Melbourne yet. It caters to my casual look at a reasonable price and has a wide range of looks in a similar style.
MY FAVOURITE PLACE TO SHOP IS General Pants. It's similar to Topman and has a wide selection of jeans.
MY BIGGEST FASHION MISTAKE WAS a blond Mohican. When I look back at pictures now, I looked like an alien with a small face.
WHEN I WAS A KID I was always wearing a Disney character T-shirt. The Lion King was my favourite and I had a Simba and Timon shirt I loved.
I WOULD NEVER BE CAUGHT DEAD IN a leather jacket. It reminds me of weird pop videos in the '80s with big shoulder pads. It's in the same category as spandex for me.

SAN ANTONIO - Alabama running back commit Derrick Henry ran for 53 yards and a touchdown on 10 carries in the U.S. Army All-America Bowl on Saturday, showcasing the form that made him a key recruit for the Crimson Tide.
Henry also scored on a 2-point conversion to help the East team beat the West 15-8. When the decision was made to go for 2, Henry knew he could get in.
"I told coach I wanted the ball," Henry said. "I've been looking forward to this game more than watching Alabama play. This is the height of competition, and I wanted to show I can play."
Wide receiver James Quick announced that he'd stay in his hometown and play for Louisville, which is fresh off a Sugar Bowl win over Florida. Quick scored on a 34-yard touchdown pass from Jeremy Johnson for the East.
The West went ahead 8-7 with just less than seven minutes to go when Max Browne, a Washington state high-school passing record-holder from Sammamish, Wash., completed a 16-yard TD pass to Derrick Griffin. Browne, a Southern Cal commit, followed with a 2-point conversion pass to tight end DeSean Smith, who has committed to LSU.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 17/8/2013 (1464 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
In the frowsy warmth of Folklorama halls, in line between the steam tables and the bar, my head spins with a little deja vu.
I'm not so old yet, I don't think, almost 32, but some of these poster boards on the gymnasium walls, well I swear they've grown up with me. I swear I've seen these same ones for a decade, maybe more. I wonder where they spend their winters, how they pass the 51 weeks of the year where their trivia goes unread. Are they stacked in a cloakroom somewhere? Does an earnest volunteer take them home? If so, is it the same one every time?
Time is money, they say, and time marches on, but nestled in the predictable summer rhythms of this city it's so easy to forget time is moving right along. Every year the same festivals, the same pace, the same poster boards and the same faces at the Toad. If it weren't for the fact the children are growing taller, and our faces a little more lined, maybe we'd deny the world was evolving at all.
Winnipeg is allergic to change. Wherever possible, we never do. We build new neighbourhoods to look nearly identical to the next; we got a new hockey team and immediately loved them as the Jets; our lake friends stretch back generations; we vote the same folks in election after election.
We love this about our life here, don't we, this tempting predictability? But sometimes we resent it too.
-- -- --
"I'm staying in West Broadway," my gentleman companion said defiantly; this was before we'd got to know each other very well.
At the time, I looked at him skeptically, because in my mind West Broadway was frozen static as the lesser cousin to Osborne Village, holding some of its old-Winnipeg charm but less of its urban-living riches, and little of the cachet that drew me to the south side of the river in the first place.
I was only 18 years old when I fled the orderly suburbs of south Winnipeg, their coiled paper-clip roads, and moved straight into Osborne Village. At the time, it seemed so many of the people who lived there were more or less like me -- all ripped-up jeans and dyed black hair, living on dry ramen noodles and very wet parties. We were young and broke and making the neighbourhood a playground of a home.
Thirteen years later, it still seems the diehard Villagers are more or less like me, though we've grown in age and wage and standard of living. Now, we have tiny condos and no kids and the telltale dimples of old facial piercings. Now, we have wine before bed instead of whiskey and don't stay out so late. Now, we toss and turn as the pub-crawlers stumble drunken down back lanes, and tell our pillows the Village has changed.
Did it really, though? Maybe the Village changed, maybe I did, maybe both of us changed so slowly there's no way to know.
-- -- --
So my gentleman companion and I get to know each other better, and his stubbornness lures me across the Osborne Bridge to West Broadway, and here I find something strange: West Broadway isn't what I thought it was. The neighbourhood has... dare I say speak this Winnipeg sacrilege... changed.
Not a lot, necessarily, nothing earth-shaking, nothing like the urbanizing speed that sweeps across neighbourhoods in Toronto or Chicago or NYC. And yet, there is a freshness to Sherbrook Street and a blooming sense of life.
The side patio at Stella's, framed by climbing vines, is almost always full. So is the tiny dining room at Boon Burger. Cousins lounge expanded a little while back, and every night its long and hand-worn tables are crowded with friends from all demographics. Talking people, talking politics.
Earlier this year, the Thom Bargen coffee house opened on Sherbrook Street, and every time we pass it we see friends waiting for cups of piping hot Americanos inside. And now, new this summer, sleek Fitzroy restaurant glows bright late into the night. Its bartender turns out fizzy drinks in tall glasses sweetened with a thoughtful dash of sugar.
Across the street, a bruised old hotel lingers, but the gap between old and new doesn't seem to clash. For now, anyway. Time will tell if or how long that part lasts, and whether this old 'hood will be pushed away from the folksy, blue-collar colours of its past.
Still, in the mix of young faces that flock down this street, I am reminded Winnipeg can change, even as its heart remains the same.

What do wrinkles and muscle tics have in common? Both are caused by repeated or inappropriate muscle activity and both can be treated using the same drug, Botox.
With such wide-ranging effects, Botox may sound like a wonder drug. Nevertheless, it is actually short for botulinum toxin —one of the deadliest food poisons known to humankind. Although rare, it is not hard to find news stories about groups of people who died from food poisoning caused by the toxin. However, the same quality that can make botulism lethal—its ability to paralyze muscles—makes it therapeutic when used in carefully controlled doses.
Botox is used to treat a variety of muscular disorders. It is the drug of choice for the neuromuscular condition, dystonia. In dystonia, particular muscles contract inappropriately. The classic form of dystonia involves the neck, and is called torticollis . Other common forms involve spasms of the eyelids (blepharospasm), half of the face ( hemifacial spasm ), and vocal cords (spasmodic dysphonia).
Unlike muscle strain or tendinitis , dystonia is a neurologic disorder in which the brain incorrectly signals muscles to contract, which can result in muscle pain and spasm.
When Botox is injected directly into a contracted muscle, it is weakened and cannot contract as strongly, restoring balance to the group of muscles involved in a particular movement and relieving symptoms for a period of months.
Doctors have used Botox to correct a variety of conditions involving inappropriate muscle and gland activity with varying degrees of success. They include:
Frown. Smile. Grimace. Grin. Every facial expression forms a crease that will someday be etched into your skin as a wrinkle. You can't stop moving your face, but you can limit movement in key places using Botox. As a result of its successful use with facial tics, plastic surgeons discovered that Botox can smooth out wrinkles in places where muscle activity has a particularly noticeable effect. Botox is used to treat wrinkles in two places: frown lines between the eyebrows, where it is most effective, and crow's feet. As Botox restricts muscle movement, it creates a smoother appearance, even if it does not remove all traces of the wrinkle.
Tiny quantities of the toxin are injected directly into the muscles of facial expression. The treated muscles weaken over the course of two weeks and the person is no longer able to contract the frown muscles. They can still lift their eyebrows normally and blink without problems. The injection is almost painless.
Not surprisingly, younger people—whose lines are not as deep—experience the greatest improvements. Results last up to 4 months. You can receive injections every 3–4 months to maintain the results.
Side effects have not been a problem in using Botox for treating wrinkles or other conditions, aside from the occasional allergic reaction or temporary excessive muscle weakness. Some people have a slight headache for several hours after treatment. The most common significant complication, which is rare, is ptosis. This is a drooping of the eyelid caused by the Botox tracking into the eyelid muscle. It generally lasts just a few days, but more prolonged weakness is possible. Botox injections cannot be used during pregnancy or when breastfeeding.
If you decide to undergo Botox treatment, be sure that you receive your care from a reputable physician highly experienced in the use of this substance. From quelling muscle spasms to smoothing out skin, Botox can be an effective treatment for many people if used properly.

Kim Kardashian's Giant Breasts Tanning (With Special Guest: Christina Aguilera)
Here's Kim Kardashian in Miami over the weekend where she somehow hung out with Christina Aguilera. I don't know how something like that even happens, but I'm more surprised with the fact Kim actually looks like she didn't alert the paparazzi to her presence. (Exhibit A: butt crack.) That aside, clearly I was way off about her nipple in the Justin Bieber post because Kim Kardashian doesn't even have any. How the hell are we seeing tits from every conceivable angle and not a single trace of areola? Voodoo? Santeria? Khloe was hungry for pepperoni one day? I need answers!

Through Our Eyes
Our Hearts - Our Minds
de Rob Thomas
Acerca del libro
The 'Through Our Eyes' project emerged out of the desire to portray our children's perspective on life, law and the living. A group of young enthusiasts, who have never held a camera before, set out on a journey to capture expressions and moments which touched them. These amateur photographers have come up with images that raise questions, make us think and bring a smile. The effects that were created behind the shutter are profound with the context which is usually lost in our daily living.
Rob Thomas, mentor for these participants, exposed them to a world of images produced with the coordination of the heart, the mind, the eyes and the soul. The participants were in awe of the stories they could enfold with an image. Throughout the four weeks training of participative photography, Rob helped them explore the depth of their souls and gave perspective to their vision.
This book is a collection of the images created by Rob, Parvati, Imran, Ahsan and Ganpat. It attempts to capture the essence of Magic Bus and its participants from five different perspectives. The images in colour captured by the participants depict the aliveness and youthful zest from a local and personal awareness of the environment they experience each and every day. The black and white images captured by the mentor are a projection of life in Magic Bus viewed by someone outside the organisation, the city of Mumbai and the culture of a nation.
This first production of 'Through our Eyes' will lay a foundation for participative photography in Magic Bus.
This project is part of Magic Bus Sport for Development, a voluntary organisation in India that believes in the child's right to play (declared by UN). We use sport as a medium to work on overall child development enabling girls and boys to realise their true potential. Since its inception the organisation has reached out to over 18,000 children living in some of the most at-risk and marginalised circumstances in the world and taking them on a journey of self-discovery through their childhood. Magic Bus aims to create a new generation of youth empowered to build and develop their communities.
Rob Thomas is a business and training consultant with a passion for photography. He is presently completing his MA in Photography (International Photojournalism, Travel and Documentary Photography at Bolton University in the UK. He has been involved with Magic Bus in a 'distant consultative' role for 5 years. In June 2007 he was asked to lead a business research project in relation to utilising Magic Bus Centre for Learning & Development. During the time he was in Mumbai he became aware of his interest in producing photographs of Mumbai, and in particular of Magic Bus and its work.
Rob is an extraordinary individual who has the skill in appreciating and accepting people the way they are and encouraging them to explore their hearts, minds and souls. His aim for this collaborative photography project is that it provides a unique view on, and more importantly FROM, the individuals within Magic Bus, and provides a valuable additional tool to the developmental work carried out by Magic Bus.

John Tortorella on the upcoming schedule… "You have to make your own luck. It is an unforgiving week. No one is going to feel sorry for you. The best thing for us is to get out of town. We have to regroup as a hockey club. You can't be pointing a finger at your teammates. You can't feel sorry for yourself. You have to grind through this. Having gone through all of this, in the Eastern Conference, we are still right in the middle of it. We will get on the plane tomorrow and get out west and try to regroup here. That is the key thing, not break apart."
Ryan Callahan on the team… "It is tough but we are all pros in here. That is why we play this game. We have all gone through this with another team or coming up. We have to put this behind us and concentrate on the next game."
Henrik Lundqvist on the veteran leadership… "Some guys might say something but for the most part it is more important that the older guys, starting with me, show it with the way we play. We need to play better. It is some small details that just need to be corrected. We can turn it around. I know we are a good team. I know I can stop pucks. We just need to stay confident and turn this around."

Hanley provides homer to back electric Ryu
Shortstop registers big game in first start, bobblehead night
LOS ANGELES -- Did you see him?
On Hanley Ramirez "I See You" Bobblehead Night, the star attraction homered and doubled in his first start of the year. He shared the spotlight, though, with Hyun-Jin Ryu, who struck out 12 in six innings as the Dodgers shook off Monday night's blowout loss with a 6-2 win over the Rockies Tuesday night.
The Dodgers overcame their latest injury, a tight hamstring for Carl Crawford, with Ramirez's first start since tearing a ligament at the World Baseball Classic and needing right thumb surgery. Ramirez credited the club's medical staff for a return two weeks early.
"I felt like a little kid in a candy shop," said Ramirez. "I'm happy to be on the field and around my teammates competing."
Meanwhile, Ryu not only shut down the Rockies, he gave the weary bullpen a break after the exhaustive workload required Monday night after Ted Lilly's three-inning start. He's now 3-1 with a 3.35 ERA.
"That was huge," manager Don Mattingly said of Ryu's ace-like start.
Ryu, throwing harder than he had in recent starts, made 105 pitches and allowed two runs on three hits. He has 46 strikeouts and 10 walks this year in 37 2/3 innings. The 12 strikeouts were the most for a Dodgers rookie since Hideo Nomo had 13 against the Mets in 1995.
"You could see it early on," said Rockies manager Walt Weiss. "He had his 'A' game and it was going to be tough to put together a big inning or something big against him. He was in control. There was a big difference between his fastball and changeup -- 93 to 80 [mph] -- and he was commanding everything."
Ryu allowed a first-inning home run to Carlos Gonzalez on a changeup and from that point relied less on that out-pitch, although Ryu said the changeup and slider weren't sharp while warming up before the game and that dictated more fastballs and curves.
With a special guest dancing appearance from Psy of Gangnam Style fame between the top and bottom of the fourth inning, fellow Korean Ryu also singled in a run for the Dodgers. Jerry Hairston replaced Crawford leading off and had three hits, while Nick Punto (filling in for Mark Ellis) and Matt Kemp had a pair of hits each.
After the game, and after many of the Dodgers posed for pictures with Psy in the clubhouse, Kemp said what it means to add a hitter of Ramirez's caliber to a lineup that has struggled for RBIs.
"He's been an All-Star. He's been a batting champ. When you're able to put somebody like that in the lineup, it's always going to help," Kemp said. "And for him to do that in his first game back, that's a huge confidence builder for him to know he's all right and can do it."
While Ramirez's bat was ready for prime time, his throwing isn't. He made two throws, neither crisp, one from the hole that allowed an infield single to Josh Rutledge.
"Definitely, but I don't want to think about that," said Ramirez, who plays with a small splint taped to his right thumb. "I do the best I can."
While the fans may have come out for Ramirez, Mattingly said it was Ryu who set the tone in the wake of Monday night's drubbing.
"For what they did last night to us, with our bullpen being on the edge of disorder, he kind of righted that ship for us," said Mattingly. "He changes speeds, hit spots. Tonight he had a good curve, a slider. He didn't use changeup as much tonight. That's a sign of a guy who uses what he needs to. He's a tough matchup."
Ryu seemed nearly as excited about meeting Psy as beating the Rockies. The pair exchanged gifts and made plans for dinner in what turned into a bonanza for the roughly 50 Korean media.
"He's a worldwide, global star," said Ryu. "I realize tonight he's a far bigger star than I am."
The Dodgers scored all of their runs in the first three innings off losing Colorado starter Jorge De La Rosa, who now is 0-8 lifetime against the Dodgers. It sounds like it's getting to De La Rosa, who brought a 2.86 ERA into this game.
"It's like they know what is coming," he said. "They stood ready on the changeup. I'm going to see my video tomorrow and see what I did. I have to do something next time."

A VERY special award has been presented to an "inspirational" lady by the Mayor of Poole.
At a ceremony held in the Mayor's Parlour, Cllr Phil Eades handed over the top Poole Gold Community Champion award to Margaret Bailey.
At the age of 93, Mrs Bailey runs the Autumn Club, held weekly at St George's Church hall at Oakdale, for those aged 50 plus, and has promised to wear her gold dolphin with pride.
"She's an inspiration to all older people in the borough," said the Mayor. "She works tirelessly for members of her club and she contributes a great deal to their well being in Oakdale."
He and Mayoress, wife Helen, were on hand to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the club last November and cut the birthday cake.
"If any of the ladies don't turn up she drives round to their house and makes sure they are alright," he said. "She's fantastic."
Mrs Bailey, who drives from her Merley home to Oakdale, and has just received her driving licence for another three years, has run the club for 14 years after taking over from her friend Joan Heinzman.
It now has 22 members who enjoy speakers, outings, cream teas and lunches, organised by herself and committee members Ellen Hill, Gwen Honour and Joan Copp.
They accompanied her to the Civic Centre after she insisted they share the glory. "I have got a very good committee," she said.
"I am absolutely amazed," she said of her award. "I didn't realise they were going to do this."
With no plans to "retire", she added: "I want to go on as long as I can."

Everything during the season will be focused on the playoffs. Next year, we are going to expand the series and focus on both hitters and pitchers, and try to scout as many players as possible throughout the season. We will also be offering some hot stove reports on free agents this off-season.
