Central Catholic's Rodgers seeking to become all-around golfer
The game of golf is a myriad of physical and mental skills that when put together can lead to success.
For Central Catholic junior and Cranberry resident Brent Rodgers, his golf game has skyrocketed lately thanks in part to his ability to drive the ball like the fictitious character Happy Gilmore, but without the antics.
Rodgers tallied a drive of 429 yards, two feet and six inches at the Remax World Long Drive Championship, good enough for a first-place finish.
"This is something I do for fun, a hobby," Rodgers said about his driving ability. "My passion is to play college golf. I know I have the long game, and my short game is coming along."
Rodgers' driving distance is not a fluky thing. At the Remax competition, he hit 9 of 16 drives more than 415 yards.
"When I was young, my dad put a heavy sand wedge in my hand and had me hit the ball as hard as I could," Rodgers said. "I grew up around golf, my dad has been doing long drive competitions since the 1970s."
He attributes a little of his success to his dad and also to baseball, which helped him with his power.
"He has a certain swing, and his swing speed helps him overpower courses," said Corey O'Connor, Rodgers golf coach at Central Catholic. "It's funny, I will invite friends to come out and watch him play. I encourage people to come out and see him play. He is talented and amazing to watch."
Although his talent is amazing, so is his sense of team. Last year, Rodgers qualified for the Remax World Finals, but that competition conflicted with the WPIAL team championships. Rodgers opted to be a team player rather than vie for individual accolades. His unselfish nature paid off. With a WPIAL individual title already in hand, Rodgers helped his team earn the team gold as well.
The silver lining to the golden season is that Rodgers is in line for another chance at the Remax World Finals in Las Vegas. He has qualified locally, and next is a regional qualifier at Conneaut Lake's Oakland Beach Gold Course in mid-July.
He was the youngest qualifier last year for the world finals, and if he qualifies this year, he will again be the youngest qualifier.
The reward for winning the event, a cash prize of $250,000, is one Rodgers said he would not accept if obtained.
"My goal is not the long drive, it's just for fun and something to do with my dad," Rodgers said. "Golf is my passion, and I do not want to affect my amateur status … taking the money would cost me my college eligibility."
Rodgers wants to have a great senior season at Central Catholic and then move on to college. At the moment, Allegheny College has an eye on him, but heading south to Costal Carolina or another school where he can practice all year is appealing to him.
Although he is a scratch golfer who owns the school record with a score of 36.2 for nine holes (the previous record was 36.4), Rodgers still wants to improve. He has several junior tournament championships on his resume, but has his sights set on improving his short game in order to be a complete golfer.
"As a freshman and a sophomore, he had the long ball, but last year as a junior the short game started to click," O'Connor said. "He can control a four-iron off the tee and then hit a seven-iron to the green. He is able to go around a course and understand the distances."

In a mild surprise, the Associated Press, aka the Administration's Press, hasn't totally ignored John Crudele's Monday evening blockbuster story at the New York Post about how fabricated Census Bureau information fed a pretty clearly cooked September 2012 Employment Situation report. But the wire service's Sam Hananel ruined the surprise by spending five terse paragraphs making sure that relatively disengaged readers would learn as little as possible.
Most crucially, Hananel never told readers that the alleged manipulation may have been the main reason why the reported September 2012 unemployment rate fell below 8 percent for the first time since President Barack Obama took office in January 2009. At the time, former GE CEO Jack Welch was among those who strongly questioned the rate drop.
Hananel's report, which has not been updated since Tuesday evening at the AP's national site, was completely numbers-free:
While he at least acknowledged the "manipulation" charge, Hananel shed no light on what was allegedly done, how widespread the manipulation might have been, how long it had been occurring, or its possible effect.
I'll let the Post's Crudele provide some of the specifics:
Census 'faked' 2012 election jobs report
In the home stretch of the 2012 presidential campaign, from August to September, the unemployment rate fell sharply — raising eyebrows from Wall Street to Washington.
The decline — from 8.1 percent in August to 7.8 percent in September — might not have been all it seemed. The numbers, according to a reliable source, were manipulated.
And the Census Bureau, which does the unemployment survey, knew it.
Just two years before the presidential election, the Census Bureau had caught an employee fabricating data that went into the unemployment report, which is one of the most closely watched measures of the economy.
And a knowledgeable source says the deception went beyond that one employee — that it escalated at the time President Obama was seeking reelection in 2012 and continues today.
... The Census employee caught faking the results is Julius Buckmon, according to confidential Census documents obtained by The Post. Buckmon told me in an interview this past weekend that he was told to make up information by higher-ups at Census.
... But, Buckmon says, he was never told how to answer the questions about whether these nonexistent people were employed or not, looking for work, or have given up.
But people who know how the survey works say that simply by creating people and filling out surveys in their name would boost the number of folks reported as employed.
Census never publicly disclosed the falsification. Nor did it inform Labor that its data was tainted.
AP itself, in commenting on last month's 204,000 gain in seasonally adjusted jobs, may have partially confirmed the unusual claim that the mere existence of more surveys can affect results (even though, to be clear, the following relates to the Establishment Survey of employers and not the Household Survey:
"It seems that when the initial response rate is high, the initial payroll number is often, though certainly not always, stronger than the prior trend," Ian Shepherdson, chief economist at Pantheon Macroeconomics, wrote in a research note.
In other words, if the jobs numbers in prior months were based on a lower participation rate, a stronger participation rate would skew the number up.
Thus, the mere existence of more data may have inflated the results.
The seasonally adjusted increase in total employment reported in the Household Survey reported on October 5, 2012 – just 4-1/2 weeks before Election Day and shortly after early voting began – was originally 873,000 (since revised down to 810,000). There was also a somewhat suspect drop of 456,000 in the number of unemployed (since revised to -401,000). With the exception of a few Januarys (that's when the Census Bureau adjusts its population controls), the revised employment increase is the largest seen since June 1983 (991,000) and May 1984 (857,000), during quarters when the economy was growing at annual rates of 9.3 percent and 7.1 percent, respectively.
Given how long Crudele reports that data fabrication has been occurring, it's reasonable to question whether it was done to meet quotas regardless of results, or whether it was done to achieve a desired result.
As usual, the "if this had occurred during a conservative or Republican administration, the coverage would be widespread" bromide certainly applies. It also would be far more specific than the AP report above.

"Timothy Praise Gabriel, Stage name YungKay is a young singer, songwriter, dancer or better, what you would call a total performer , who hails from Cross River State. He is recognized as one of the most talented up coming entertainers of his time by those who knows him and those who have watched his performances. His contributions to Nigerian music along with his publicized personal life would no doubt make him a liked figure in the music scene by all especially the females. His profound love for music started at the early age of seven and ever since he has followed through with his passion, pushing steadily till he owns a well blossomed career.

Mental Health
Have Mental Health Questions? Ask a Psychiatrist Online
Hello, I am Rafael. Thanks for asking your question - I'm here to support you. (Information posted here is not private or confidential but public).
Thank you for requesting my support . I am very sorry to know about the overwhelming pain from trauma, abuse and grief you experienced three years ago, and the impact they have had in your life to the present. Being a victim of sexual abuse trauma and having unresolved grief is just tough, and without necessary professional psychotherapeutic support, anybody in your shoes would become deeply overwhelmed and probably unable to function, developing depressive mood, anxiety problems and any other mental health condition due to the trauma, unresolved grief and from all the repressed feelings from the sexual abuse you underwent.
Being harassed by customers or anybody just retraumatizes you deepening past traumas which is something absolutely unacceptable that must end. You are right when stating that living in denial for this long has not helped but destructed your life. Please, from this first initiative do take consistent action and look for professional support, getting individual psychotherapy to work on rehabilitating from the sexual abuse, grief, and depression. It's sad that your father has become abusive too, once you are so attached to him and want to support him so much too. There is a lot of work to be done, but with necessary support you could rehabilitate and grow stronger , please do not delay getting intensive psychotherapy as soon as possible. If you see that the fact you feel so overwhelmed would not allow outpatient therapy to work for you, then after initial psychological assessment, discuss with mental health professional your treatment options and what would be the best approach to start your rehabilitation process taking into account your specific reality, needs and responsibilities.
there are many NGOs - organizations providing mental health and other forms of support to women victims of sexual abuse. Please also look for them. the more support you get, the better your chances for healing and grow. Psychotherapist and other mental health professionals supporting you would request your records and get in touch with your neurologist in order to become familiar with your medical problem and to discuss how to better assist you. Taking this initiative you have already started your rehabilitation process, please stick to it until you get all the support you need and deserve to build and enjoy the life you long for. Thank you for your trust.
You're very welcome.

When One Door Closes, Another Opens March 25 2016
The rumors are true. After ten years in business, we regret to announce that our time in Soho has come to an end. It's no secret that the rent in NYC is always rising (Soho in particular), and it has become virtually impossible for a small company like ours to operate out of that neighborhood. It's hard for us, it has been a great run and we thank you for allowing us to add to your closets for an entire decade. We loved being there and we have developed friendships with our clients that are truly irreplaceable.
Amarcord has poured its blood, sweat, and tears into that shop and it will be sorely missed. The store will remain open until mid-April. We're having a moving sale, so be sure to swing by and grab something special for yourself at up to 60% off.
We've decided that with this change, it is time to make another. We're in the process of giving our current Williamsburg store a COMPLETE makeover. Be prepared to swoon! We're reintroducing the shop as a higher-end boutique, offering a mix of merchandise you could snag from Soho with the best that the old Williamsburg shop had to offer. We promise, it will be worth the trip across the bridge from the city. Stay tuned for an opening date (around mid-May).
For more information about these changes, read the full article on Racked here.
Thank you all for your continued support. It means the world to us!

Amarcord Vintage in Vogue Italia July 20 2015
It's always a pleasure when we're able to see our treasures immortalized forever when they grace the pages of fashion magazines. Now, when it is shot by a fashion photography god: Steven Meisel, styled by a top fashion editor: Karl Templer, and this magazine happens to be the fashion bible: Vogue Italia, you can imagine we were waiting by the mailbox for our copy like a child waiting for Santa on Christmas Eve.
The cover story, titled 'Timeless', features a variety of familiar and lesser known faces shot in grainy black & white while wearing classic pieces with a little touch of edge.
Lucky for us, Karl Templer adorned 1970s actress & model Donna Jordan in a silver marine link bracelet from Amarcord Williamsburg.

Melbourne, Jan 14 (ANI): Kylie Minogue has refuted claims that she is quitting her singing career to focus on acting.
Britain's Sunday Mirror had earlier reported that the 44-year-old singer had "called a halt to her music career" and would devote herself to acting, under the bombshell headline "Kylie Minogue quits singing."
The paper also claimed that she had split from her long-time manager Terry Blamey.
The news of Minogue's retirement from music sent shockwaves across Twitter, with some people questioning the wisdom of such a decision, the Age reported.
The pop diva's official Twitter account, @kylieminogue, denied the claim, with a post reading: "#lovers #notquitting," followed by tiny icons of a love heart, followed by a microphone, a movie camera and a bright red lipstick print, which translated to: "I love music, I love film, I love youse all."
Unfortunately, none of this stopped several media outlets from pushing the "Kylie quits" on TV and online, powered somewhat ironically by constant retweets of the rumor.
Her Australian publicist put the claim to rest, expanding on the #notquitting tweet. She told Fairfax, "Kylie was never quitting music and she tweeted that overnight."
Blamey's original media statement said, "Kylie has decided to pull back slightly from the pressures of her career and devote more time to herself and her acting career. This is not to say she will be retiring from music, just taking a bit of a break." (ANI)

16 October 2010
After coming away with just one point out of two games for the Islanders' first two road games, they're back at the Coliseum tonight to face off with the Avs. John Tavares will play in just his first full game tonight (assuming nothing happens to him on the ice) after suffering a minor concussion against Dallas last Saturday. Also, recently suspened James Wisniewski will be back after serving two games.
It's still unclear who gets the start, but I'd go with Roloson. DiPietro needs a rest from getting trampled on by PA Parenteau and Matt Cooke, all caused by Cooke. Hopefully he's okay, though. If Rolie starts tonight, he'll make his Coliseum debut this season!
A few keys for the Isles tonight:
- Jump on them early
- Get the puck out of your zone and to the opponent's net
- And finally, don't take bad penalties!
This should be an exciting one tonight at the Coliseum. It will air on MSG Plus 2. Lets get a win out of this, Isles!

Stories from the Trenches:
A 50 year old Veteran stated, "It Feels Good to Feel Good!" This Veteran shared with me that it has taken him a long time to get to his "happy place" and tried many ways of changing his life. "You can't be afraid to try something new to get something better." Thanks for the inspiration, B!!
A 90 year old Veteran, who had stormed Normandy Beach in World War II and had been involved in 4 other conflicts reminded me that the REAL HEROES are 6 feet underground. I Thanked Him Anyway!!
A 53 year old Veteran shared that he had built an emotional wall around himself that blocked out all the 'Good' of the world, but a few months ago he made a decision to knock down that wall and build one that blocked out the 'Bad'. "I used to dread the mornings because I felt like there was no way anything would get better. I am now excited to wake up in the morning and experience the blessings of each day!" Thanks, B for reminding me about the Gift of each sunrise!
A 59 year old Veteran shared that having your health is the most important thing and that family is the second. He agreed that family relationships are the most difficult, but they are worth it. Thank you B!
A 52 year old Veteran shared that he had to decide to be in a good attitude before they leave their house every morning.
A 62 year old Veteran shared about when he was working as a guard at a prison and there was one inmate that was getting picked on by other inmates and other guards, to the point that the inmate soiled himself. This Veteran told me that he got fired from that job because he let the inmate take a shower and gave him a clean pair of clothing. He said, "Ms. Drake, you can never judge what another man has been through in his life just because of where he's at." Thank you for the story S. and allowing me to walk 5 minutes in your shoes!
A 63 year old Veteran shared a story about getting on a Septa bus and seeing an empty seat next to a 15 year old young lady who was black. She said in an angry tone, "Keep walking, Old Man!" and threw her bag onto the empty seat. That little girl had NO idea what I have been through so she could sit in that seat." He told me about shaking hands with John F. Kennedy and his brother, Bobby, the many marches he went on with Martin Luther King and living as a Black Panther. I keep thinking about the great history lessons that 15 year old girl missed out on. Let's never forget that REAL Heroes wear plain clothing! Thank you, W, for sharing this story and journey with me!
A 50 year old Veteran shared that Whitney Houston definately went to Heaven because her voice Brought Hope to So Many People! Thank you P. for reminding me that she was a human being with the Voice of an Angel!

|Brief Summary
End-stage renal disease is a global epidemia with an estimated incidence of 7% per year and high morbidity-mortality rate. Early detection of chronic kidney disease (CKD) and intervention for CKD complication is important to retard renal progression. However, "traditional uremic toxin" or "small water-soluble molecules" are poorly correlated with the renal function, uremic symptoms and outcomes of CKD patients.
Putative protein-bound solute, p-cresol, is accumulated in ESRD patients receiving dialysis therapy. This uremic solute was associated with endothelial dysfunction, immune dysregulation and can predict outcome in hemodialysis patient. P-cresol inhibits endothelial cell proliferation and endothelial response to inflammatory cytokines. In vitro, p-cresol decreases leukocyte transendotherliar migratory function and inhibit production of phagocyte reactive species. Clinically, p-cresol plays a pathophysiological role in the uremic toxicity. High free serum level of p-cresol is associated with mortality in hemodialysis patients.
Information of p-cresol in CKD patients is not available. The investigators hypothesized p-cresol can be accumulated in early CKD and have a positive correlation with the morbidity- mortality of CKD patients.
Value of p-cresol in different stages of CRF is still unknown. Information of p-cresol in CKD patients is not available. The investigators hypothesized p-cresol can be accumulated in early CKD and have a positive correlation with the morbidity- mortality of CKD patients.
The principal aim of this prospective cohort study is to investigate the association between total serum levels of p-cresol and the glomerular filtration rate. The correlation of level of p-cresol and morbidity-mortality in CKD patients will be also evaluated.
To determine the relationship, patients of nephrology clinic with a diagnosis of CKD were enrolled in this prospective study and follow-up for 1-year period. The association between total and free serum levels of p-cresol and the glomerular filtration rate were evaluated in CKD patients. The p-cresol level was correlated with other many inflammatory markers (white blood cell counts, ferritin, hs-crp, leptin) and also with the hospitalization rate secondary to cardiovascular and infectious event. The renal outcome and all-cause mortality was assessed. Determination of this relationship can help to establish an accurate marker for early detection of CKD and also its prognostic role in CKD patients.

Quadruple Helix of Entrepreneurship and Management Education
This paper discusses the case of the entrepreneurship programme at the Faculty of Business and Economics at the University of Maribor, where academics, entrepreneurs, and managers have joined forces to develop effective entrepreneurship education and training that stimulates creativity and innovation among students. The underlying philosophy of the programme is twofold. First, education for future entrepreneurs and managers of smaller companies, characterized by the de-specialization of job tasks, resource scarcity, and self-employment, must differ from management education for larger companies, where task specialization can take place. Second, during their studies, students should improve their creativity, develop ability for recognize opportunity, gain confidence, and acquire practical managerial experience. Classroom experience itself is not sufficient for developing students' understanding of the value of innovation and creativity; rather, it should be upgraded through direct experience supported by real-life cases and role models. The discussion introduces the term quadruple helix of entrepreneurship education to stress the importance of four main players in such education: students, professors, entrepreneurs, and the supportive infrastructure of the entrepreneurship ecosystem.

WICKED Author Gregory Maguire Sheds Light on Early Film Script of THE WIZARD OF OZ
Gregory Maguire was just a kid when The Wizard of Oz film came out, but every year, he and his family would cuddle up in front of their black-and-white television to watch the annual television broadcast of their favorite musical movie. It wasn't until years later that that same enchanted, young boy would grow up to author the untold story of the witches of Oz: Wicked.
In an article he wrote for the Smithsonian Magazine, Maguire reflects on all the knowledge and insight he gained about the characters, the plot, and the magical land of Oz while researching for his novel, fully titled "Wicked: The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West." He discovered drastic differences between the original book, "The Wonderful Wizard of Oz" written by L. Frank Baum (1900), and the film adaptation with Judy Garland (1939), and he shared these developments in his article.
Read the original article here.
According to Maguire, "crossed-out speeches and handwritten substitutions" adorn every single page of the first draft of the film script.
Noel Langley, the main screenwriter, spent a lot of time cutting plot points featured in Baum's book that were simply too excessive for a Hollywood blockbuster. For example, in Baum's novel, there are 55 pages in between the melting of the Wicked Witch and the return of Dorothy back to Kansas. This transition was shortened to a couple of minutes in the film adaptation.
Langley was judicious in his edits, eliminating superfluous populations in Oz (such as porcelain figures and "hammer-heads"), and extravagant obstacles along the yellow brick road. But in turn, he added music, which there was little indication of in the original novel. Most notably, the Academy Award-winning ballad and all-time classic song "Over the Rainbow" was enlivened from its standing in the novel as "The Kansas Song."
Maguire even agrees with famous author-illustrator Maurice Sendak that "The Wizard of Oz film was a rare example of a movie that improves on the original book." However, in his Smithsonian article, the Wicked author does not neglect to acknowledge one conceivable shortcoming of Langley's version of the story: the ending.
While Langley's film adaptation of The Wizard of Oz ends with Dorothy waking up and realizing it was all a dream, Baum's novel gives the impression that Dorothy's experiences were a fair representation of reality.
Maguire empathizes with what many would consider a "cop-out" conclusion by explaining its consistency with the rest of the story. He says, "All the way through the film, Dorothy encounters charlatans and liars. The Wizard has no magic powers. Glinda the Good Witch waits until Dorothy has narrowly averted mortal danger before she reveals the secret of the ruby slippers. The Wicked Witch of the West, bless her little green heart, is the only adult figure who tells the truth."
This being true, Maguire evaluated the ending and decided that it has a distinct purpose, meaning, and message. When all of the adults in Kansas reject Dorothy's journey as real, they are proving that "adults are so accustomed to lying to protect the young that they can't recognize the truth when it is spoken."
At the end of Maguire's article, he ensures the children that "we know that Dorothy went to Oz. We have faith." Despite all the changes made to the original screenplay, The Wizard of Oz has never lost the magic and promise that has made Dorothy, the Scarecrow, the Tinman, and the Lion such iconic figures in American cinema.

The Real Chubby Checker Isn't Happy About The Penis Size App Named After Him
Rock 'n' roller Chubby Checker is in a twist about a penis size app that shares his name. The 71-year-old musician is suing Hewlett-Packard to the tune of half a million dollars for "irreparable damage and harm" caused by the "Chubby Checker" app for HP's Palm OS. The app has since been removed from the HP catalogue, but the previous description read: "Any of you ladies out there just start seeing someone new and wondering what the size of their member is? … All you need to do is find out the man's shoe size and plug it in and … there is no need for disappointment or surprise."
Chubby Checker's lawyers argue that that the app will "blur and tarnish" his trademark and associate his name with "obscene, sexual connotation and images." "This lawsuit is about preserving the integrity and legacy of a man who has spent years working hard at his musical craft and has earned the position of one of the greatest musical entertainers of all time," said his legal team.
That, and the app is ridiculous for a number of reasons. If you want to find out the size of your new dude's penis, it shouldn't take much effort. In my experience, men are more than eager to get naked when the opportunity arises. Pun intended! And once they are naked, chances are they care more about the size of their own penis more than anyone else does. More scientifically speaking, according to research, the correlation between shoe size and penis size is weak at best.

The largest free festival in the South concluded four days of music Sunday and not even torrential downpours could put a dent in the record number of festival attendees enjoying the celebration this year.
There are no tickets sold for this festival and economic success is largely measured in terms of hotel occupancy, restaurant and vendor sales. By those measures, the 2013 French Quarter Festival once again hit it out of the park.
The festival that was originally conceived for locals to enjoy their culture has exploded into an international attraction for visitors seeking to inhale as much of New Orleans as possible.
Some of the festers I spoke with planned to stay over in the city until the start-up of the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival. That surprised me since Jazz Fest doesn't start until April 26!
Once the weather cleared, Sunday afternoon turned out to be a picture-perfect day to enjoy the last day of festivities in the Quarter.
Jazz trumpeter Jeremy Davenport was packing them into Jackson Square with his band-band performance on the big stage. At the art show in Pirates Alley, artist Gerry Claude explained, "Crowds were huge all weekend long."
The music menu on tap at French Quarter Fest was as varied as your imagination. While the big names performed on the main stages, there was plenty to please at the smaller streets-side stages.
I happened on the music of The Hawaiians, a band led by veteran musician Tim Paco. Paco is a man of many talents who is best known in jazz circles for his aplomb on the upright bass. This is his band and on this day, he was demonstrating his mastery of the most often misunderstood ukulele.
The final destination on my checklist for the day was the school grounds of KIPP McDonogh 15. The public school for the creative arts, which is located within the historic French Quarter, was busy raising some much needed revenue to support and continue its programming.
"All of the revenue generated within these gates goes directly back into funding our program," explained event organizer and McDonogh 15's Operations Director, April Griffith. "Every vendor here has agreed to donate 100 percent of their proceeds."
French Quarter Fest has certainly grown up over the years, but even 30 years can't diminish its charm and popularity among the locals. Where else in the country can you take in so much music, enjoy such wonderful food, and partake in my favorite past time of people gazing for free? Rest up, New Orleans, and get ready for the one of the world's greatest parties, the Jazz & Heritage Festival.

Virginia Police with dogs and heat-sensing equipment hunted for a man they say shot eight people to death Tuesday and then nearly took down a police helicopter that was trying to flush him out of the woods near this central Virginia town.
State police said officers had the suspect, Christopher Speight, 39, circled in the woods late Tuesday near the home where seven of the bodies were found and they believed he was still alive. An eighth victim was found barely alive on the side of the road — which led to police being called — and died on the way to the hospital.
All the victims were adults and both men and women were killed, state police Sgt. Thomas Molnar said. Three of the bodies were found inside the home, and four just outside it, Molnar said.
Police refused to speculate on a motive and would not say what type of weapon was used. Molnar also gave no background on the suspect. Speight's last known address was along the block where the shootings occurred, but Molnar did not know if the suspect was still living there.

Who Killed Kraft Bier? brings an air of mystery to Vancouver Craft Beer Week
If you're interested in craft beer, but you want to do a little more than just sit down and drink it, then Forbidden Vancouver's event Who Killed Kraft Bier? might be just what you are looking for.
Who Killed Kraft Bier? is a special event run by the people who put on the Lost Souls of Gastown and Prohibition City walking tours. The two-hour murder mystery and craft beer tasting extravaganza will see participants running around Mount Pleasant, sampling different beers, and solving clues to figure out who killed the fictional German brewmaster Kraft Bier.
"They get to don their hats and head off around Mount Pleasant and crack the case," says Will Woods, Forbidden Vancouver's founder and chief storyteller. "We like to think it's a film noir-esque case with some twists and turns. It'll take a smart detective to crack it, that's for sure!"
Along the way, the detectives-for-the-day will run into three suspects, who are all real characters from Vancouver's past. Emil Sick was a big brewery boss in the 1920s. Pat Labelle, a Vaudeville escape artist, was known as "the Female Houdini" as she would dangle off buildings wrapped in chains while onlookers watched her free herself. Shue Moy was a Chinese immigrant who managed to amass a fortune in the gambling and prohibited liquor businesses of the time.
The aim of the event is to further appreciation for Mount Pleasant's rich brewing history, at a time when the neighbourhood is having a sort of craft beer renaissance.
"I hope they get an appreciation of the history of the area and the history of brewing in the city, which has had a profound effect on city development over the years," Woods says. "I hope they have a great time being a detective for the day."
Woods adds that this is a chance to just kick back and have fun, as well. "I think that people hopefully find that a really engaging experience, and sample some great beers. They're going to meet new people, they're going to be working together for sure. I think it's going to be a really fun event."
Who Killed Kraft Bier? is an official Vancouver Craft Beer Week event and takes place on June 1. Tickets are $49 and space is limited.

Rootkit removal built into virus/spyware scan. Multilayer spyware protection very effective at keeping a clean system clean. DeepGuard behavior-based protection blocks zero-day attacks.
Virus/spyware removal is unusually slow. Real-time protection can report same threats over and over. Antispam accuracy is dismal.
Bottom Line
F-Secure's suite adds a layer of behavior-based protection, virtually eliminating firewall confirmation pop-ups. Its spyware removal is annoyingly slow but excels at keeping malware out. Just don't rely on it to filter out spam.
the 2007 model of f-secure's suite doesn't include any big visible changes, except perhaps on the parental-control front. the real changes are mostly invisible. like nis 2007, f-secure has revamped its application control to help protect you automatically. its new deepguard technology monitors program behavior in real time and halts malicious activity. and, hallelujah! it virtually eliminates those routine firewall confirmation pop-ups.
firewall fortitude
f-secure's firewall guards your system against hack attacks, controlling which programs get to connect themselves to the internet. i installed it on a system configured for direct internet access and set its protection level to strictnot surprisingly, it stealthed all ports, making them invisible from the outside. an earlier test with protection set to normal showed the sensitive port 139 open, but i couldn't manage to duplicate that result.
the program's application control has changed quite a bit with this update. by default, it allows all programs access to the internet, while simply logging the fact that they were allowed. if a program is malicious and misuses its access, deepguard should catch it based on behavior. if you miss those confirmation pop-ups, you can have it ask for a confirmation the first time a program tries to access the internet, with an option to automatically allow known good programs. this also replaces the advanced "application launch control" and "application manipulation control" techniques found in f-secure 2006.
by default, f-secure allows behaviors whose risk threshold is low, blocks high-risk behaviors, and asks the user only when the case is unclear. i set it to always-ask and tried launching a dozen leak-test programs. in several cases f-secure's real-time protection flagged the program as a known problem; i told it to take no action. even so, three of the tests wouldn't run at all. for all but two of the rest, it reported behaviors with a risk level of around 90 out of 100. when i chose to block those, it successfully prevented the test program's malicious behavior. for comparison's sake, i launched a number of pc magazine utilities that use the internet or hook deeply into the system. most were passed without comment, but i did get alarming warnings about a few. for example, foldermon's installation of a shell extension, and link previewer's installation of a browser helper object were both considered highly risky (90 of 100). by clicking the details button, you can get plenty of information to help you make an informed decision.
the firewall stood up valiantly when i attacked it directly, using a technique similar to what a malicious program might execute. i couldn't shut it down by tweaking the registry, i couldn't disable it using task manager, and i couldn't turn off protection by stopping essential services. next: keeping out viruses and spyware

This mineral-rich leafy green is a staple in the Jamaican diet; saute it with onions, scallions, and thyme to make a healthy vegetable side dish. If you can't find callaloo, Swiss chard or mustard greens make an excellent substitute. From the book "Lucinda's Authentic Jamaican Kitchen," by Lucinda Scala Quinn (Wiley).
- Yield: Makes 6 servings as a side dish
Source: Mad Hungry, October 2010
- 2 pounds callaloo
- 1 tablespoon cooking oil
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 onion, chopped
- 3 whole scallions, chopped
- 1 sprig fresh thyme, or 1/2 teaspoon dried
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1/3 cup water
Remove the small branches with leaves from the main stem and submerge the callaloo into a bowl of cold water. Let soak for a minute and remove, discarding the water. Repeat 2 more times. Finely chop the leaves and branches and set aside.
Heat the oil and butter in a medium-size skillet over medium heat until the butter is melted. Add the onion and scallions, stirring until the onion begins to soften, about 2 minutes. Add the callaloo, thyme, salt, and black pepper. Mix all of the ingredients together, add the water, and cover. Cook over medium heat until the stems are tender, about 8 minutes.

Hey people! I've got issues and I would like some help. Before I start, I'd like to mention that if you're just going to flame me and say things along the lines of "LOL, gtfo", then please, just press the "back" button and carry on with your day.
About Me
I'm a 17 year old male. I have had no real sexual encounters with anyone during my childhood. I am a bit shy, but I don't think I'm at the point of having social anxiety. I just can't seem to find the strength to start a conversation with people I don't know well (I can carry on a conversation just fine). I don't really talk to girls though (I get nervous when I talk to them); almost all of my friends are guys, except for a couple of girls that I actually consider friends.
The Situation
Every Sunday morning, I volunteer as a teacher's assistant in a classroom with JK students (4 year olds) at my local church. I started volunteering in October of 2011. At first, I didn't really have a favourite student, but then as time passed I started to notice this little girl.
She's just so cute and adorable! And it's not just because she looks really cute, it's also the way she talks, the way she acts, like.....she's just soooo adorable! I'm a very laid back person (never stressed), and she's just like a little version of me. She never really pays attention, always asks questions and is kinda dumb (LOL, she's just developing a little slower than her classmates; examples: she has trouble using scissors to cut things when we do arts and crafts, she almost never finishes anything because she is always distracted by everything around her). Basically, she's just soooo cute!
I think it's generally agreed that it's okay to think little kids are cute, but when you start having feelings for little kids, that's where trouble starts. I started getting feelings for her after a few months of volunteering (a couple weeks ago). This feeling is slightly different than the feeling you get when you have feelings for a girl (like a "proper" girl that you want), and I'm not sure how to describe it. Like, after every class, I just can't wait till next week to be able to work with her again. Sometimes, I get to see her parents when they come and pick her up, and I think about how lucky her parents are to have such a wonderful daughter.
Why do I get feelings like this? Why am I so messed up?

New Delhi, March 21: An international space mission today released the most detailed and earliest snapshot of the universe, which has bolstered the evidence for current cosmology theories but revealed some mystery features that scientists cannot yet explain.
Three Indian researchers were among dozens worldwide who analysed data from instruments aboard a European spacecraft to generate images of the universe about 380,000 years after its moment of origin, the Big Bang.
The instruments have helped scientists create the most detailed map of what astronomers call the cosmic microwave background radiation (CMBR), the residual afterglow left behind by the Big Bang. The map (see photo) shows tiny fluctuations in temperatures that scientists say served as "cosmic seeds" that have evolved into the large structures of the universe observed today: galaxies and clusters of galaxies.
"The picture tells us that our current understanding of the universe is very good," said Sanjit Mitra, a scientist at the Inter-University Centre for Astronomy and Astrophysics, Pune, and a member of the research team.
The instruments aboard the European Space Agency's Planck spacecraft are designed to measure temperature fluctuations at a precision never achieved before. The map generated from the observations suggests the universe is about 13.8 billion years old, or 100 million years older than previous estimates, US agency Nasa said.
But scientists say some of the features observed cannot be explained by current theories. One of these is a pattern called hemisphere asymmetry: the fluctuations are expected to be uniform across the sky but the data suggest the patterns are asymmetrical on the two halves of the sky.
"Imagine a football field full of people wearing red and blue. Our existing theories suggest they should be uniformly distributed on both sides of the field, but what we see is a little more red on one side and a little more blue on the other," Mitra told The Telegraph. "This is hemispheric asymmetry, something we need to understand."
Mitra and his colleagues, faculty member Tarun Souradeep and research scholar Aditya Rotti at the Pune institute participated in the Planck analysis, using software to build sharper images of sections of the sky.
The CMBR, the leftover heat from the Big Bang, corresponds to a temperature of about 2.7 degrees above absolute zero (which is about minus 273°C), and is uniformly distributed across the universe with fluctuations of about 0.00001°C.
Another unexplained element from the Planck observations is a so-called "cold spot", a low-temperature zone in the CMBR map that extends over a patch of the sky that is too large than can be explained by current theories.
"The Planck data call our attention to these anomalies.... We can no longer ignore them as mere artefacts; we must search for an explanation," Paulo Natoli, a Planck project scientist at the University of Ferrara in Italy, said.

Sanyo PLV-Z60 720p 3LCD Home Theater Projector Review: Overview
PLV-Z60 vs. Panasonic PT-AX200U
Sanyo and Panasonic have been slugging it out for years. In this space, however, the two projectors are clearly defined, in their own space. Yes, they both have similar placement flexibilty, but after that, they are very different. The Panasonic PT-AX200U is a light cannon – the brightest projector in the 720p space, that we've reviewed to date. The Sanyo, is almost the opposite. The Panasonic in brightest mode, or best mode will typically produce about 60 – 80% more lumens, and that's a substantial difference.
On the other hand, the PLV-Z60 produces a sharper image. This is due to Panasonic's use of their SmoothScreen technology, which makes the pixel structure almost totally invisible, but takes a toll in image softness. Both are quiet.
The Sanyo has a much better warranty – 3 years, with fast turn-around, vs. a standard one year warranty. Price wise, these two will normally sell for the same price, so no advantage there. Because of the nature of the differences, most will see a clear choice between these two.
PLV-Z60 vs. Epson Home Cinema 720
I'm not sure that Epson will be killing off the Home Cinema 720 in December when their new low cost Home Cinema 700 ships. The 720 has more placement flexibility than the new Home Cinema 700, and is more expensive, so I suspect it will be around for quite some time. The Epson Home Cinema 720 fits nicely between the Sanyo and Panasonic entries. Like the PT-AX200U, the Epson significantly brighter than the Sanyo, in best mode, and also the brightest mode, although the Panasonic is brighter still. Still the Epson has plenty of punch for sports with some ambient light, compared to the Sanyo. The Home Cinema 720's image sharpness is not as good as the Sanyo.
Pricing is again similar. Both have comparable placement flexibility. I give the Sanyo the edge in the naturalness of the picture – just a touch more "film-like", as the Epson can sometimes be a little "hard". (I'm talking really small differences here.)
I see the Epson as the projector in the middle, between the Sanyo and the Panasonic. It also has a great warranty – 2 years with an overnight replacement program, compared to Sanyo's longer 3 years, but only "rapid" turn-around.
If you are going smaller screen sizes, or are a movie only person, you likely will favor the Sanyo, but if you are at 106 or 110 inch screen sizes, in a typical room, the Epson has the horsepower advantage you might want.
PLV-Z60 vs. Optoma HD65
Interesting! Very Interesting! I wish I still had the HD65 here for comparison. The HD65 is a classy little DLP projector with the usual very limited placement flexibiility. It does, however have really good color out of the box, even better than the Sanyo.
One of the interesting things about the HD65, is that, while brightness in brightest mode is pretty much the same as the Sanyo, the HD65 is far brighter in best mode, pushing out more than double the lumens of the Sanyo in Pure Cinema mode.
That makes the HD65 a better choice for those wanting a larger screen, but not really into HDTV/sports viewing with some ambient light – in other words, those buying almost exclusively for movie watching.
Both provide a very sharp image, and while both give a slightly different feel to the image, both are natural. The gamma on the Optoma tends to make dark colors stand out more giving a bit more depth, but, this is the stuff of side by side comparisions. It's not like you would watch the Z60 and say, "gee, that dark blue could have more pop". I will, however give the Sanyo a slight advantage in black level performance.
Warranty again, can be a key point. Optoma only offers a one year parts and labor warranty. On the other hand the HD65 is officially $300 less expensive than the Sanyo (until Sanyo rolls out those inevitable rebates), so a 3rd party extended warranty bringing coverage on the Optoma to 3 years, would still have it costing less.
It's a really interesting battle between these two projectors. I see them as very direct competitors. If you can place either in your room, it's going to be a tough call. Despite my watching primarily the better 1080p projectors, both of these are impressive.
PLV-Z60 vs. Optoma HD71
The Optoma HD71 is an extremely bright, and more expensive projector. As such, I do not see them as direct competitors.
Sanyo PLV-Z60 Home Theater Projector: Summary
Great placement flexibility, a sharp image, and once calibrated, excellent color, plus very respectable black level performance. I will do a minor re-write, after testing the 2nd PLV-Z60, which I assume will not have the background color shift of the first unit. With the color shift gone, I'll also get a slightly better handle on how good the black levels are. It may be that they are even better than I conclude from watching and observing this first PLV-Z60.
Update 10/14/08: Uneven Color Background issue. You'll find more info in the Image Quality section at the bottom of the black level section. The key, though is that the production PLV-Z60 that came in, does not exhibit any significant color shift in the background, that would be readily visible when watching normal content. It's about as good as one could expect. We remove our reservation regarding this issue, as noted when the review first published a couple of weeks ago. In addtion, we found the black levels to be slightly improved, overall, due, no doubt to the fairly bright blue the first unit produced on the right side, especially the whole upper right quadrant. -art
Sanyo PLV-Z60 Projector: Bottom Line
A great choice for those that do not need a whole lot of brightness. This Sanyo does not seem to have any real weaknesses beyond having limited lumens. If you are on a tight budget, and are going to be happy with screen sizes of 82″ to 100″ (or even 106″ diagonal), the PLV-Z60 is a well balanced solution, that also has the longest warranty in the 720p class.
The PLV-Z60 should have strong appeal with enthusiasts who care about all the details, and in this regard, it is definitely a worthy successor for the PLV-Z5. We are pleased to recognize the overall capabilities of the Sanyo PLV-Z5 with our Hot Product Award.

"Actually, I also brought Anderson Braddock (Silva), who's a guy that fights in K-1, he's a great K-1 fighter. I brought him and Glover (Teixeira) on the first moment. They stayed here for two weeks. On that period we tried to do many sparrings, simulating similar situations I'll might confront during the fight, also on the clinch, the takedowns. We know Glover is a high lever fighter and why he's been smashing everybody down here in Brazil, and I'm sure he'll make a good career abroad, and Bradock also helped me a lot to simulate the fight. Then Glover had to go because he was fighting and then I brought King Mo to add a lot. He's a high level fighter in Wrestling, he has been a world champion on the Pan Am, he has defeated Olympic champions, so he knows the details of the position that can help me block his game during the fight, and I guess that's the main aspect. I guess the technical part is the most important one for a fight like that, because I'm fighting a very technical guy. Jon Jones knows many techniques, he's can do many things, so that's why I'm trying to improve more and more my wrestling."
In a recent interview with Tatame.com, former UFC light-heavyweight champion, Lyoto Machida talks about his preparation for this weekend's UFC 140 main event against champion, Jon Jones.
Bringing in guys that can help him in the wrestling aspect of the fight against Jones is the smart route to take. However, will it be enough to deal with the length, the craftiness and athleticism that Jon Jones brings to the table?
Four more days and we will find out…

Shares of Neos Therapeutics Inc (NEOS) are moving on volatility today 0.00% or 0.00 from the open. The NASDAQ listed company saw a recent bid of 6.80 and 207655 shares have traded hands in the session.
Investors may be trying to figure out how much risk they are able to handle with their current stock holdings. Taking on too much risk can put unnecessary weight on the shoulders of even the sturdiest investors. On the flip side, investors who play it too safe may be shaking their heads and wondering what might have been. Finding that delicate risk balance can turn out to be the difference between sinking and swimming in the equity markets. It is highly important for investors to understand exactly what risks they are taking when buying and selling stocks. Knowing these risks may help avoid disaster down the line. Once the risk is calculated, investors should have an easier go at narrowing in on finding the right stocks to add to the portfolio.
Now let's take a look at how the fundamentals are stacking up for Neos Therapeutics Inc (NEOS). Fundamental analysis takes into consideration market, industry and stock conditions to help determine if the shares are correctly valued. Neos Therapeutics Inc currently has a yearly EPS of -5.18. This number is derived from the total net income divided by shares outstanding. In other words, EPS reveals how profitable a company is on a share owner basis.
Another key indicator that can help investors determine if a stock might be a quality investment is the Return on Equity or ROE. Neos Therapeutics Inc (NEOS) currently has Return on Equity of -216.94. ROE is a ratio that measures profits generated from the investments received from shareholders. In other words, the ratio reveals how effective the firm is at turning shareholder investment into company profits. A company with high ROE typically reflects well on management and how well a company is run at a high level. A firm with a lower ROE might encourage potential investors to dig further to see why profits aren't being generated from shareholder money.
Another ratio we can look at is the Return on Invested Capital or more commonly referred to as ROIC. Neos Therapeutics Inc (NEOS) has a current ROIC of -103.07. ROIC is calculated by dividing Net Income – Dividends by Total Capital Invested.
Similar to ROE, ROIC measures how effectively company management is using invested capital to generate company income. A high ROIC number typically reflects positively on company management while a low number typically reflects the opposite.
Turning to Return on Assets or ROA, Neos Therapeutics Inc (NEOS) has a current ROA of -82.24. This is a profitability ratio that measures net income generated from total company assets during a given period. This ratio reveals how quick a company can turn it's assets into profits. In other words, the ratio provides insight into the profitability of a firm's assets. The ratio is calculated by dividing total net income by the average total assets. A higher ROA compared to peers in the same industry, would suggest that company management is able to effectively generate profits from their assets. Similar to the other ratios, a lower number might raise red flags about management's ability when compared to other companies in a similar sector.
