Crossroads (M)
General release
Crossroads stars Britney Spears, and that's really all you need to know. It's a vehicle for a phenomenally successful recording star attempting to cross over into another medium, and like Spears herself, it's perky and full of contradictions.
There are several shots of her in underwear, numerous opportunities to gaze at her navel, and lots of scenes that show us what a nice, sweet, earnest girl her character is - a good-hearted, hard-working teenager, a reluctant star in the making, an unwitting sex object who somehow finds herself shaking her booty when the music begins to play.
Despite the fact that this is Spears' big gig, Crossroads is constructed initially as an ensemble piece, a road movie-cum-female buddy picture about three girls who were friends at the age of 10, grow apart, then reunite at graduation and decide to drive to Los Angeles. Spears is Lucy, goody-two-shoes class valedictorian, destined for med school, raised by her garage owner dad (Dan Aykroyd) since her mom (Kim Cattrall) left when she was three. Zoe Saldana is Kit, willowy, gorgeous and engaged to a college student studying in LA; Taryn Manning is Mimi, self-defined "trailer trash", pregnant and determined for no obvious good reason to go to a music audition in California.
There is a guy in the picture. Ben, a brooding hunk with permanent stubble who is rumoured to have killed a man: the girls overlook this, because he has a yellow Buick convertible and a surprising willingness to act as their chauffeur.
When it focuses on the relationship between the three girls, Crossroads has the potential to be an engaging film, with flashes of sharpness and warmth: Saldana and Manning are strong performers, and Spears is perfectly comfortable alongside them. But there aren't nearly enough of these moments, and when the film (written by Shonda Rhimes and directed by Tamra Davis) tries to single out Spears, it somehow loses its nerve and its direction.
Her meeting with her mother is an extraordinary non-event: the scenes which show her as a performer - a karaoke event, the audition - are absurdly deferential and clumsy.
At the preview, there was plenty of audience engagement with the film - a knowing scrutiny somewhere between appreciation and contempt - and it was the overt marketing moments, the tie-ins to the Britney Spears image, that drew the most laughter. Her single - her latest promotional tagline, her image summed up in seven words or less - Not a Girl, Not Yet a Woman, appears first as a poem by Lucy, then a song. It's Spears' shtick, Spears' angle, but plonked so transparently in the film that it's painful.
The film doesn't use her persona in any interesting way. Instead, it turns it into product placement. And there are signs, here and there, that Crossroads could have been a more interesting movie.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. - A report released Thursday by the Florida Department of Law Enforcement and Attorney General Pam Bondi showed that fewer people are dying from prescription drug overdoses in Florida.
Prescription drug deaths decreased during the first half of 2013, compared to the same period the year before.
The most significant drop was in drug deaths caused by the painkiller oxycodone and alprazolam, the anti-anxiety drug sold as Xanax.
Overall, there were 975 prescription drug deaths the first half of last year, the report stated. Alcohol caused 302 deaths, followed by cocaine with 291 deaths. Bondi said in 2011, 1,175 people died under the influence of prescription drugs, and in 2012, 1,054 people lost their lives.
Bondi and Jacksonville Sheriff John Rutherford joined together Thursday to credit new laws and tougher enforcement with the decrease in prescription drug deaths.
"To see these remarkable strides that oxycodone deaths have fallen by more than 60 percent," Bondi said. "We did not expect it to be that fast."
Bondi said the state Legislature's prescription drug monitoring database put an end to almost all of the pill mills in Florida. At one time, the Sunshine State had 98 out of the top 100 prescribing doctors of hydrocodone and oxycodone, but today, authorities say those numbers are down to none.
But Rutherford is concerned the pill mill void could be filled if marijuana is legalized.
"Those same doctors that were running the pill mills will now be running the pot shops, and make no mistake about it, it's not about medical marijuana, it's about recreational marijuana," Rutherford said.
Rutherford said that more than 90 percent of the crime in Jacksonville is in some way linked to drug activity or use. He said the Florida Sheriff's Association agrees with marijuana use only for debilitating diseases.
"If (a medical marijuana referendum) passes, it's going to be devastating for the state of Florida, I believe," Rutherford said. "We're going to have medical marijuana in every backpack in every school in every county."
Despite the general decrease in prescription drug deaths, hydrocodone deaths are on the rise with 158 in the first half of last year compared to 122 in the first six months of 2012.

"M.T. Anderson doesn't eat broccoli because he likes it but because it is good for his writing."
I know. I know-- He eats broccoli, paces and hums. But what is it, the iron? Is the color particularly stimulating? The crunch?
Most important of all, I suppose. . .
Raw or Cooked?

A better question: why does Blogger picture posting suck so hard?
I believe the power of the broccoli is in the nutrients.
- 12:50 PM, January 21, 2010
I thought it might be the aroma. Wasn't there a composer who kept a bowl of decaying apples by the piano because the smell inspired him?
I've been teasing about this, but I am curious how we try to manage our creativity. Does Anderson have rituals that he engages in deliberately, or are they unconscious behaviors with a pattern he doesn't recognize except in retrospect? Do rituals really affect your creativity, or are they superstitions? If I ate an entire head of broccoli last time I had writer's block, will another head of broccoli help me write now? That sort of thing.

Roger, We have a mutual blog template. The photo image comes up as code on top of that posting box all the time after uploading . 1)drag the photo code to the desktop 2) erase the code on the top 3) drag the photo code from the desktop to the place you want it to be in the post. Hope that makes sense. As a techno-peasant I use the easiest routes (to me).
ps mostly wanted to compliment you on the color combo of your shirt and bowtie. Awesome!

Wow. I have the same blogger photo issue and, despite the goodness of your other commenter, I am not smart enough to fix it.
In the meantime I only wanted to say: Thank you for the virtual trip to ALA.

Another way is to write your blog. Then load a picture. Highlight the whole HTML for that picture, cut and paste it where you want it to be in the blog. Load the next picture (they always load at the top of your blog), cut it and paste it where you want it to be in your blog. Continue until done.
Then click "publish" and view blog. If you don't like the placement of something (at this time I usually hate something about the words), then click the little pencil to edit it -- and edit it to suit.
Always great to see you at ALA. (even if it's in the hall and you don't see me) See you again in Washington, DC.

Like most parents of two little ones, Tiffani Jake is one busy mom, too busy to sit around waiting for the doctor to see her girls, Madison and Kassidy.
When she called her doctor to make an appointment, she was annoyed to get the answering service during office hours. It directed her instead to ZocDoc, a free online appointment booking service that allowed her to make a same-day appointment at a time she chose so she could get on with the rest of her day.
Sound too good to be true?
"It was really great," the Oak Forest mom says. She liked the patient reviews of doctors and downloaded the ZocDoc app to make getting an appointment even easier.
Dr. Oliver Kharraz, a dad of twins and chief operating officer of ZocDoc, says he uses it in the middle of the night when his kids are sick. It takes the stress out of waiting until the morning to see if you can even get in to see the doctor, he says.
ZocDoc is one of Chicago's best-kept secrets. It's been here since 2010, after launching in New York City four years ago.
"Giving patients access to doctors when they need them is really the problem that we set out to solve," Kharraz says.
In Chicago, that means there are hundreds of thousands of appointments available, searchable by zip code and type of doctor.
"We can take all the last-minute cancellations, reschedules, etc., that would otherwise go unused in a doctor's day and we can make those available on the Web for booking. We can basically uncover that hidden supply of health care and make the entire system more efficient," Kharraz says.
The system also allows people to filter doctors by insurance plans, meaning parents can save time by not having to check their insurance website first to make sure the doctor qualifies.
Each ZocDoc user is encouraged to review the doctor, providing others a star-rating Kharraz says is a pretty accurate representation of what real patients actually think of a doctor.

Dell Takes On Pricing in Image Makeover
PC makers are going back to the basics on pricing in an attempt to entice buyers.
Dell, which has scheduled a news announcement for July 13, is expected to reveal a revised PC pricing strategy that will present SMBs (small and midsize businesses) and consumers with a more straightforward menu of price options.
The move, which doesn't appear to affect large business accounts, comes as Dell attempts to recover from a series of missteps that curbed its growth during the first quarter of 2006.
But the change also shows that some of the main methods PC makers like Dell have used to entice customersoffers that range from rebates to no-charge component upgrades and waiving shipping feeshave lost some of their allure as the PC market has matured and growth has begun to slow in 2006 following a wave of upgrades in prior years.
To read more about Dell's plan to repair its customer service problems with consumers, click here.
Simplifying the buying experience is one of the ways Dell hopes to regain customers' confidence, a spokesperson indicated
"We'll be announcing several things that together will make the purchase experience simpler for customers," the spokesperson said, but declined to provide additional details on the plan.

As a mischievous, makeup-curious little girl, I used to snoop in my grandmother's bathroom cabinets in search of beauty treasures like discarded blush and lipstick. On one of these adventures, I discovered my grandma's trusty bottle of AquaNet, a super-hold hairspray popular in the '50s and then again in the '80s, with the return of big hair.
I soon found myself in a rather sticky situation. One push on the nozzle forced a powerful burst of hairspray at my overturned head that left my (usually very limp) hair looking—and feeling—like Edward Scissorhands' spiky mane.
Scarred by the experience—and the eventual knowledge of hairspray's harmful environmental impact—I swore off the stuff through my young adult years. That was until I discovered Number 4's Non-Aerosol Hairspray. The eco-friendly, modern alternative to my grandma's AquaNet is not only paraben- and sulfate-free, it's vegan too. It mists on lightly to keep my favorite updos (and braids, so many braids) in place without the rock-hard effect of outdated hairspray formulas.
Since I'm headed back to visit my grandparents' house this summer, I know just the gift to leave her at the end of my stay.

Eight Points, Nine Seconds PreviewReview: Jared Wade: Pacers to Tweak Rotation to Make Room for Barbosa
After the Pacers acquired Leandro Barbosa at the trade deadline, I was a
little confused. With Darren Collison, Paul George, George Hill, AJ Price
and, at times, Lance Stephenson all receiving minutes, where did Larry
Bird expect Leandro to fit in.
Well, now we know, according to Mike Wells of the Indianapolis Star.
Frank Vogel is changing the rotation. Leandro Barbosa is in as the backup shooting
guard. George Hill is now the backup point guard. A.J. Price is the third point guard.
Barbosa will make his Pacers debut against the Clippers tomorrow. "(Barbosa will
play) anywhere between 15-20 minutes," Vogel said. "He picked up a lot of our
basic offensive sets today pretty quickly. We'll see how he's going and we'll adjust
it when he's out there."
This certainly makes some sense.
Barbosa has five times the resume of Price and Stephenson so he should
naturally be ahead of them in the rotation. It does mean moving Hill to
the point. He has always been touted as a combo guard who can play both
spots. He filled in admirably for an injured Tony Parker at times in San
Antonio and was so successful that their was a legitimate fan movement
to trade away the more expensive, less-defensive-minded French starter
and hand the team over to Hill. And these aren't crazy Heat fans who just
starting watching the NBA a year ago. No, these were Spurs fans who
through the osmosis of watching Coach Popovich and Tim Duncan alone
usually know what they're talking about at least somewhat.
Still, so far in Indiana, when Hill has been at his best, he has played the
two almost exclusively. So it isn't a question of whether he can handle
shifting over to the point, but whether by doing so, he will lose a little bit
of what has made him the team's best player off the bench this season
and the MVP of, by my memory, at least 5 of its wins.
Then again, the team is reeling from two tough losses to the Knicks and,
other than that two-game win streak last week, hasn't had a ton of wins
over good teams to get excited about. Perhaps this is the answer. There
is no question that Barbosa can add some scoring punch to a second
unit that badly needs it...CONTINUE READING AT 8p9s
CLIPSNATION: The Big Picture:
The Clippers open a difficult and crucial road back-to-back-to-back today
in Indiana. Not to be overly dramatic, but three games in either direction
in the standing is essentially the difference between third place and 8th
place in the Western Conference right now -- so yeah, this is big. With
the toughest team of the sequence sitting in the sandwich game, and the
weakest team at the end, there could be some strategy to how best to
approach those games. But regardless, one thing is clear -- the Clippers
need to win in Indianapolis tonight. A win here sets up the trip to be from
'good' to 'very good', while a loss might point to 'disaster'. The funny thing
is, were this not the first game of a road B2B2B, we might be discussing
how worn out the Clippers could be. It is, after all, their seventh game in
ten days -- a pace unheard of in a normal NBA season. And while they
have had a day since their last game, they also had to fly 2000 miles on
that day. But relatively speaking, this is the Clippers rested game -- it
starts getting nasty Wednesday and Thursday. The last time the Clippers
played the Pacers, Blake Griffin scored a career high 47 in leading L.A. to
a win. Griffin hasn't had a 35 point game this season -- he had 4 of them
his rookie year. I wouldn't mind one of those right about now.
The Antagonist:
The Pacers, like the Clippers, started the season strong and have leveled
off in the last month. There was a lot of hype around the Clippers, so it's
hard to say that their strong start was completely unexpected, but Indiana
(along with Philadelphia) was one of the real surprise teams of the early
part of the season. But after going 16-6 to start the season, the Pacers
are 9-12 since. The Pacers are among the new breed of deep and balanced
NBA teams -- seven players average at least 9 points per game. The leading
scorer is Danny Granger 17.6 per game, which is quite a bit less than he's
been averaging the past several seasons. Granger appears to be something
of a bellwether for the Pacers this season -- he scores almost 4 fewer points
per game and shoots just 36% in their losses. The Pacers are solid, if
unspectacular, at every position. Roy Hibbert made the All-Star team this
season, David West and Granger are both former All-Stars, Paul George is a

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 16/5/2014 (1194 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
One to three billion birds flock to the North American boreal forest each spring to find habitat for summer breeding, and their lives depend on the forest being there for them.
A new study concludes that Canada must preserve at least half of its wilderness if bird populations are to thrive. That amounts to at least 283 million hectares of the 600 million hectares of forest that stretch from Alaska to Newfoundland, with Manitoba at the heart of it.
This is the key conclusion of Boreal Birds Need Half, a report issued jointly by the Boreal Songbird Initiative and Ducks Unlimited.
The 28-page document adds a block of evidence to an expanding foundation of studies that cite the boreal as one of the planet's critical lifelines.
"Manitoba is absolutely critical to North America's boreal nursery. With over 80 per cent of the province in the boreal, positioned at the convergence of the western and central migratory flyways, this province provides a significant amount of habitat for birds," said co-author Kevin Smith.
Smith, who is the national manager for boreal programs with Ducks Unlimited, noted Manitoba is also an important habitat for other wildlife.
"And it provides many ecosystem services such as carbon storage and sequestration to mitigate the effects of global climate change, water filtration to improve water quality for areas like Lake Winnipeg -- all positioned at the heart of the boreal forest in a region that is currently fairly intact," Smith said in an email interview from Edmonton, where he's based.
The challenge is to keep the boreal "fairly intact."
"The science we have now says you have to maintain at least half of it, free of large-scale industrial use, to keep that resource going," said Jeff Wells, another of the study's co-authors.
"We call it the bird nursery and it really is. It's the place the birds have to go to maintain healthy populations into the future," noted Wells in an phone interview.
Wells was in Gardiner, Maine, this week with migrant white-crowned sparrows singing nearby that would soon make their way to the boreal.
As the science and policy director for the Boreal Songbirds Initiative, Wells stresses the importance of the boreal as a bird nursery.
"One of the things people find surprising is the far-reaching roles that birds spilling out of the boreal forest have for the rest of the world, especially the rest of the hemisphere," Wells said.
The area is a region that begins with the giant's playground of massive boulders on the coast of Churchill and flies south to the lush nectar-rich Caribbean tropics.
"We talk about the ecological roles in this study that these bird have across the rest of the hemisphere, whether it's the Swainton thrush going down into South America and eating fruits and spreading the seeds around, or the Kate May warbler that goes down to the wintering birds of Cuba and Espanola. Down there, you'll often see the birds with pollen around their faces, even, from dipping into flowers," Wells said.
Billions of these birds fly down from the north every year, as far south as southern South America, and all countries share an ecological responsibility to them, the study notes.
"There's just this huge impact, mind boggling, way beyond anything anyone ever considered. It's sort of a great gift Canada's boreal forest is sending to the rest of the world," Wells added.
So why should people care about birds?
From an economic perspective, lucrative industries have been built around people who like to hunt birds, some with guns and some with binoculars.
As crucial players in nature's food chains, birds pollinate plants, disperse seeds, fertilize land, eat bugs and offer the ultimate sacrifice as environmental indicators. The saying "canary in a coal mine" is a literal truth: The documented effects of mercury on common loons in New York's Adirondack Mountains spurred conservation efforts in that state.
Quebec and Ontario have pledged to protect half of the boreal regions that lie within their boundaries. First Nations, including some in Manitoba, have drawn up land-use plans to keep more than half of their traditional regions intact. Industries from coast to coast are grappling with the balance between the bottom line and ecological reality. As a result, Canada's boreal is largely intact and most of it is healthy, the study noted.
"Since the report came out, the number and variety of comments from supporters, colleagues, friends, family, and staff have been considerable," added Smith.
"Just getting the boreal on the map and in the minds of most folks is a big step."

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 15/8/2013 (1469 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
2What she left out, and which her hot walker Andrew Hretzay displayed a few minutes later, were the champagne glasses left over from the celebration she and her staff had in her tiny office at the north-east corner of Barn F.
Pointing her finger at Hretzay, she said, "Andrew went all out, full bore."
'I guess women trainers are more accepted now.I found it a little hard to break in, but I just kept working at it.To break in and get going is a little bit hard for anyone.It takes hard work, but sooner or later, if you are doing your job, things should fall into place'-- Irene Britton
Lindsay's horses won two more times on Aug. 3 and again on Aug. 9. Tuesday morning, however, she got a reminder of how quickly fortune can switch from good to bad.
When she arrived at the barn that day, she discovered that during the night My Natalie had injured herself, and had to be scratched from Wednesday's sixth race.
"She had an accident in her stall," said Lindsay, adding that it amounted to cuts and bruises. "Nothing too serious, but it isn't good because time is running out (in the season)."
Victory that night went instead to another woman trainer, Irene Britton. Her horse (Yankee Candy), enabled her to move into fourth place in the standings with 20 wins. Lindsay, who has 17 wins, is tied for seventh and is one of three women in the top 10, with only 18 race dates left.
Never before at ASD has more than one woman been ranked among the top 10 trainers at the end of the season.
Last year, Brown finished first to become the only woman to ever win the thoroughbred trainer title. In 2011 she was sixth and in 2010 she was fifth. Lindsay finished sixth in 2009 and in 2006 Rebecca Welch was fifth.
"I guess women trainers are more accepted now," said Britton. "I found it a little hard to break in, but I just kept working at it. To break in and get going is a little bit hard for anyone. It takes hard work, but sooner or later, if you are doing your job, things should fall into place."
"I'm sure if you go back in history, there is probably more women (trainers) now," said Lindsay. "I mean, 50 years ago there was none right? When I first started training (in 2001), I felt it was an awful lot like an old boys club. To be taken seriously you had to work harder than the men, but maybe that's me imagining it, I don't know. At least when I started, I found it that way."
As for the standings, neither Lindsay nor Britton pay much attention to them.
"Maybe we don't want to talk about it because we just don't want to jinx it," said Lindsay." I mean if you are doing good and you are on that list, you want to stay there. Right?"
Lindsay was bitten by the horse racing bug at the age of five when she got her first pony. "Her name was Carmel and she died a couple of years after that. Then I got another pony named Patches."
While her mom had horses in Quebec, Lindsay, who is from Winnipeg, didn't grow up around them. Still, she was drawn to them. "I just loved horses and I had to figure out something I could do to be around them and this seemed like the logical thing."
Britton, on the other hand, practically grew up in a stable. "My family had race horses here back in the '70s so I used to come here (from Yorkton, Sask.) as a kid for summer vacation. I loved just being at the race track, and I knew when I was seven years old that this was what I wanted to do.
"When I was 17 (and) 18 years old. I used to race in the bushes (unsanctioned tracks) as a jockey. Places such as Rossburn, Gilbert Plains, McCreary and in Saskatchewan I raced in Melville, Hudson Bay and Moose Jaw. The bushes were a great place to learn. You got every opportunity to try every job you want to out there.
"There are no days off in this job," said Britton, who winters with her stock near Yorkton, but I love what I am doing so much, that I don't even see it as a job. When I get up in the morning it's not like I've got to go to work. It's just get out of bed, get down here and see the horses. It's not for everybody, but I guess it's kind of bred into me."

Karachi -
A Pakistan air force fighter plane crashed at a bus terminal on the outskirts of Karachi on Tuesday, killing at least two people and injuring eight, officials said.
The incident happened in the Baldia Town district just west of Karachi, Pakistan's biggest city and commercial hub.
"At least two people have died, one of them was the pilot of the aircraft," Sajid Sadozai, a senior police official, told AFP, adding the death toll may rise.
He said two buses parked at the terminal were destroyed while another was damaged.
TV footage showed plumes of black smoke rising from the site as rescue teams rushed in.
An air force spokesman confirmed the crash and death of a pilot, but could not give a cause for the incident.
The plane was described as a small fighter jet but its type is not yet known.
Pakistan air force jets frequently crash during training missions, with officials blaming technical faults. - Sapa-AFP

The Old Man and the Marinadeby Food Network Kitchen in View All Posts, August 24th, 2009
Although I am the last person who should be casting aspersions on other people's brand extensions — really? This is a good idea?
…They hadn't seen a marinated steak in forty days. It made the boy sad that they had marinades but no steak to eat them on. The old man had taught the boy to rope the cows that once marinated would eventually become their steak. The old man had scars on his hands from the ropes used to catch cows but those scars were not fresh. It had been years since the old man had roped a cow and then marinated it. The boy said "Remember how once we roped eighty-seven cows and marinated steak?" "I remember" said the old man.

Officially, the next episode of Law Order: SVU has nothing to do with pop stars Chris Brown and Rihanna. Unofficially, next week's episode was ripped from the tabloid headlines.
According to Entertainment Weekly, next week's Law And Order: SVU will feature domestic abuse, a promising singer, a popular hip hop star and a media circus.
Here's the synopsis for the episode:
"A promising singer is brutally attacked by her boyfriend, a popular hip hop star. ADA Barba (guest star Raul Esparza) works to build a case, but the victim refuses to aid the prosecution and, despite Detective Benson's (Mariska Hargitay) best efforts, continues to put herself in danger. The case quickly spirals into a media circus, perpetrated by both the defendant and his uncompromising attorney (guest star Jeffrey Tambor). …Special appearances by Perez Hilton, Dave Navarro and Wendy Williams."
Of course, Law Order does add its own little twist to the story. The Chris Brown character will get killed off during next week's episode.
The Frisky notes that Law Order: SVU is "notorious" for ripping their stories directly from the headlines so it isn't too surprising to see the Rihanna and Chris Brown's relationship get the small screen treatment.
Here's a preview for Chris Brown / Rihanna episode of SVU.

Clarion football leans on returnees to quiet doubters
While the rest of the Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference members looked to other parts of the country for their season openers, Kutztown (0-0) and Clarion (0-0) kept things simple and arranged a conference crossover.
The Golden Eagles of the PSAC West will host PSAC East representative Kutztown at 1 p.m. Saturday to start their 2013 campaign. Clarion and Kutztown, which last played in 2009, shared a balanced rivalry during the past decade-plus — the Golden Bears are 6-6 against Clarion since 1998.
Both open this season hoping to defy doubters. Clarion, which finished 4-7 last season, placed seventh in the PSAC West preseason coaches' poll. Kutztown, which went 7-4 in 2012, took fourth in the PSAC East poll.
With 19 returning starters, Clarion considers experience a strength. The offense, which has four starters back on the line, will follow the leadership and playmaking ability of senior quarterback Ben Fiscus, a first-team All-PSAC West selection who completed 200 of 383 attempts for 2,480 yards and 15 touchdowns last season. And the defense, which retained 11 starters, will lean on backfield menace Julian Howsare, a junior defensive end, to make plays up front while junior linebacker Brian Palmiere piles up the tackles. Howsare had 14 sacks last season, and Palmiere finished with a team-high 89 tackles.
Kutztown will help determine how far Clarion's defense has come since last year. The Golden Bears averaged 44.5 points and 481.1 yards per game in 2012, and though they graduated star quarterback Kevin Morton, their leading rusher, Curtis Wortham, returned. Wortham averaged 84.73 yards per game as a junior.
Saturday's other games to watch
• Carnegie Mellon at Grove City, 1:30 p.m.
Carnegie Mellon will join Grove City in the Presidents' Athletic Conference next year. This matchup marks the final chapter of a 13-year exhibition series between the Tartans, who will leave the University Athletic Association, and the Wolverines.
• IUP at Southern Connecticut State, 1 p.m.
Ranked in the top 10 nationally by Lindy's and d2football.com, IUP begins the fall with considerable buzz. A trip to New Haven will set the tone for the season. The Crimson Hawks beat Southern Connecticut, 33-6, last season.
• California (Pa.) at Hillsdale (Mich.), 7 p.m.
Both teams received votes in the American Football Coaches Association's Division II preseason poll — Hillsdale earned 14, Cal two. In a similarly high-stakes nonconference clash last year, the Vulcans won 30-22.
• Frostburg State (Md.) at Geneva, 7 p.m.
A last-second, 56-53 loss for Geneva in this matchup last season became symbolic of the Golden Tornadoes' season. Geneva, which lost five games by 10 points or fewer, aspires to avoid the heartbreakers in 2013.
• A newly inducted member of the College Football Hall of Fame, former IUP coach Frank Cignetti Sr. soon will join another distinguished institution. The Division II Football Hall of Fame announced Thursday that Cignetti, IUP's coach from 1986 to 2005, will be one of three inductees in this year's class.
• Though it didn't move the team closer to a Northeast Conference title, Duquesne's 35-24 win over former NEC foe Albany paid dividends. The Dukes moved onto the national rankings radar, as they received a vote in the Division I-Football Championship Subdivision coaches poll. And they grabbed multiple NEC weekly honors. Redshirt freshman quarterback Dillon Buechel, a Montour grad, earned co-Rookie of the Week after he completed 21 of 28 attempts for 309 yards and two touchdowns. Buechel was the first freshman to start at quarterback in a Duquesne opener since 2005. Sophomore linebacker Sam Martello received co-Defensive Player of the Week for his performance against Albany, which included a tackle for a safety and a sack that led to a fumble recovery for teammate Dorian Bell.
• Robert Morris freshman receiver Alex Caratelli's collegiate debut was a dandy, as the Blackhawk graduate caught a 20-yard touchdown for his only reception during a 38-6 loss to No. 19 Eastern Kentucky. Caratelli will look to build a nice career with the Colonials after finishing at Blackhawk with Beaver County's single-season record for receptions (70).
• Eighth-year Waynesburg coach Rick Shepas needs four more victories to move into second place on the team's all-time wins list. Shepas has 49. No. 50 might come Saturday against Muskingum, which squandered a fourth-quarter lead and lost 34-23 to the Yellow Jackets last season.

BROMSGROVE residents are devastated after play equipment at their recreation ground in Stoke Heath was destroyed and left dangerous.
The damage, which took place between Tuesday, August 5 and Wednesday, August 6 included cuts to climbing ropes, screws were taken out of the equipment and swings had been removed.
Stoke Heath Recreation Ground has now been closed by the parish council who used padlocks to secure the park, which is now unsafe to use.
Bromsgrove District Council is assisting Stoke Heath Parish Council to clear up the damage.
A district council spokesman said: "We can confirm that every piece of play equipment at the site has been damaged and we have recommended that the parish council close it until repairs have been made and parts have been replaced.
"We are meeting with the contractor and parish council this week to run through what this will look like and how long it will take.
"Our Place team has also been on site to support the clean-up operation."
Residents' claim travellers broke equipment using hammers and axes after they forced entry onto the site on Saturday, July 26 by breaking down a fence after they were evicted from Charford Recreation Ground.
Chairman of Stoke Parish Council John Ellis said: "Various residents have seen them causing damage to the play area. They are causing criminal damage by breaking down the fence to get into the grounds."
"The police seem to have a softly, softly approach to these travellers and don't seem to appreciate the cost to the local community in getting these travellers removed and repairing the damage they have caused.
"I would like to thank Bromsgrove District council for acting so quickly to cleaning and sanitising the recreation ground."

Limited edition Giclee print by Pam Carter.
Image Size 500 x 500mm.
Signed and numbered by the Artist. Edition of 195 + 15 Proofs.
'Visiting Iona you can't help but feel the spiritual presenceand be struck by the religious turmoil that has gone before.The painting intimates the conflict.
Three significant dates have been included in the painting: 563 St Columba landed on the Island, 801 was around the time the Vikings raided the Island, 1156 the Lordship of the Isles were created, led by Somerled, and resulted in the defeat of the Vikings. The Benedictine Order was established and the Abbey was built. For centuries the Chieftains were buried there.
The Gaelic writing at the bottom of the painting translates as The hill with it�s back to Ireland. This is the other name of the hill called Dun.
I have intimated Staffa in the back ground. The geology of Staffa Island echoes that of the Giant's Causeway - with it's thousands of basalt columns, and is said to have been built by the giant Fionn MacCumhail to walk to Scotland. A straight line from Staffa to the Giant�s Causeway would in fact pass through Iona. Fingal�s Cave has been said to be an entrance to the Underworld.
.......Hence legend and geology are interwoven.'

Two die after van and lorry crash near Loch Fyne
Two men have died following a road crash on the A83 near to Cairndow, next to Loch Fyne, in Argyll.
A Peugeot van travelling southbound collided with a lorry being driven northbound at about 16:30 on Tuesday.
Emergency services attended, but two male passengers, aged 20 and 24, from the van, died at the scene.
The van driver, 63, was treated for minor injuries at Southern General Hospital in Glasgow, while the 24-year-old lorry driver was uninjured.
Following a period of closure, the road re-opened at 02:10.
Strathclyde Fire and Rescue Service said an off-duty firefighter raised the alarm after he discovered the crash scene while travelling with his family.
Hazardous conditions
Firefighters used hydraulic cutting equipment in a bid to rescue the men from the van.
PC Alex Smith, of the road policing department at Dumbarton Police Office, said: "I would urge any witnesses to the crash, or anyone with information that may assist police enquiries, to contact the Road Policing Department on 01389 822000."
Meanwhile, the fire service urged road users to take extra care in hazardous conditions after snow hit the central belt and northern parts of the country.
A statement said: "While we cannot comment on individual incidents, injuries and deaths are always a stark reminder of the need for everyone to take care on the roads.
"That message is even more poignant in the aftermath of a fatal collision and becomes apparent when conditions are hazardous."

What Is Processed Meat
March 13, 2012 by staff
What Is Processed Meat, Meat is animal flesh that is used as food. Most often, this means the skeletal muscle and associated fat and other tissues, but it may also describe other edible tissues such as organs and offal.
In commerce, meat is generally used by the meat packing industry in a more restrictive sense-the flesh of mammalian species (pigs, cattle, lambs, etc.) raised and prepared for human consumption, to the exclusion of fish, poultry, and other animals.
Usage varies worldwide by culture, and some countries such as India have large populations that avoid the consumption of all or most kinds of meat. Game or bush meat is also generally distinguished from that produced by agriculture.
The consumption of meat has various traditions and rituals associated with it in different cultures such as kosher and halal and its production is generally regulated by state authorities as well. This article is mainly focused on that process from primary production to consumption.

Take a closer look. The print on this pilot hat is an image of a nightime view of urban city lights.Added 9 Years Ago from Applebum-store
I don't wear fitted caps but I can admire a nice piece of head wear, like this graphic print cap.

Chevron's Promise to Women
Life-size promise car is unveiled to support month-long fundraising for breast cancer awareness.
SAN RAMON, Calif. -- Promise, Chevron's most recent addition to the Chevron Cars family, was introduced nationally with a life-size version based on its toy car developed by Aardman Animations. The model is made up of more than 60 pounds of pink glitter and 2,895 feet of steel rods.
The life-size Promise was created to raise awareness and funds for breast cancer research through its support of smaller version Promise cars that retail for $6.99 in stores and online at www.chevroncars.com. Each year since 2001, Chevron has introduced a special edition Chevron Car to raise breast cancer awareness and since then, has donated nearly $1.3 million to the cause through sales of the cars. All net proceeds of the sale of the sixth edition Promise car will be donated to the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation, the company reported.
"Supporting the Susan G. Komen Foundation and Breast Cancer Awareness Month through donations and outreach in the communities we serve has been our commitment for many years," said Shariq Yosufzai, president of Chevron Global Marketing. "Before Susan G. Komen passed away, her sister made a promise to help build awareness of breast cancer. We're committed to the cause through our long-standing relationship with the foundation, helping bring this promise between sisters to life."
The company also supports breast cancer awareness and raises funds for medical research through its participation in Komen Race for the Cure events throughout the U.S. Chevron is also launching an online breast cancer awareness campaign in partnership with Warner Bros. Online and Ellen DeGeneres, a breast cancer advocate for the Susan G. Komen Foundation. Online users can visit http://ellen.warnerbros.com for facts about early detection and how to support the cause. Chevron will also have its own microsite at www.chevron.com/products/BCA, featuring Promise, Komen Race for the Cure dates and ways to get involved and help, according to the company.
"It is vitally important to support breast cancer awareness," said Danny Roden, vice president of Chevron North America Marketing. "Breast cancer is a disease that affects so many of our lives, including the lives of Chevron employees around the globe. October is Breast Cancer Awareness month and unveiling our special edition Promise car is another way that Chevron is taking part in the fight against breast cancer."
Additionally, new to Chevron's breast cancer awareness efforts, this year the company is creating education materials and programs aimed at educating Hispanic women regarding the importance of self-exams and mammograms. Statistics show that breast cancer is more prevalent among Hispanic women due to a lack of education about breast cancer prevention and access to healthcare, the company reported. The disease is also said to be the leading cause of cancer deaths among Hispanic women.

Vanessa Minnillo isn't falling prey to extreme body pressure before her wedding later this year to her beau of five years, The Sing-off's Nick Lachey.
"I want him to see the girl he fell in love with," the 5-foot-7 stunner tells Us Weekly of skipping crash dieting in favor of a five-meal-a-day delivery service. "I want to stay true to who I am, but, you know, a better version."

About MeI am usually the one behind the camera, but I do occasionally enjoy stepping in front of it as well. I do not consider myself a model; however, if I have a "look" that a photographer is searching for I would gladly participate in a session. I love art and enjoy participating in its creation in any capacity. I would love the opportunity to trade for prints if a photographer is attempting to build their portfolio or experiment with a new genre.
I am interested in artistic, fine art, boudoir, and girl/girl boudoir.

Some sketches by illustrator, Matt Hendon. Long Beach.
- Jennifer
These are really cool!
Oh wow, I like these! I love looking at people's sketchbooks.
- Stephan
Wow, number 4 is awesome!
- Corina
LOVE these. So talented. The colours, layers and textures are great. That second one looks like John Waters
in the larger portraits, the use of variously colored inks adds more dimension and an other-worldly quality to Hendon's already grotesquely whimsical illustrations. I'd love to see the rest of this sketchy!
- Justin
Really nice. Awesome talent. I like the dude with the hat in the first one. All look pretty awesome though. :)
- Gina
So good, first one is my favorite
very niiice!!!

Hey, i like your work…my friend jamie just sent me a link. I feel we have similar styles/tastes in production methods. If you are on normal facebook (i don't understand what this one is…never seen it before) we should be friends (haha sounds rather lame). If you are down to do small art shows for a scene that appreciates good work, let me know. Always room for one more, as they say.
Charles Eric William Carroll
I would be very interested in doing a show together. Email me anytime. Where can I see your work?

Fabulous sketches. Maria in the red checked blouse would be an excellent addition. Will Emily love it?

Why the GOP Is WinningCommentary by Pete du Pont
November 10, 2003
Last month's California recall vote blew away not only Gov. Gray Davis but also a great many givens about American voting habits. The Republican candidates for Governor (Arnold Schwarzenegger and Tom McClintock) captured 62% of the vote in a state that Al Gore carried by 11 percentage points. Fifty-seven percent of white women voted for a Republican governor to replace Davis, and so did 40% of Hispanics and a quarter of blacks.

Two horses die when trailer struck by freight train
A train has collided with a horse trailer in Arizona, killing two horses and a dog.
The accident happened at the crossing on Verde Ranch Road, Paulden, on Sunday morning.
Deputies from the Yavapai county Sheriff's Office went to the scene about 7.20am.
They found that a Burlington Northern and Santa Fe Railway Company freight train had struck a two-horse trailer as it was being towed across the tracks.
The driver, a 71-year-old local man, told authorities his visibility was limited because of ice on his windows.
His truck made it over the line but the lead locomotive, one of three attached to a freight train, struck the horse trailer, uncoupling it and pushing it along the tracks.
The driver has been charged with failing to stop at a railway crossing.

While Stephens has not lodged an official bidder's statement, the directors of the financially troubled company have rejected his latest takeover bid.
A spokeswoman for the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission said: "We are looking into the circumstances surrounding Stephens's bid and we are monitoring the situation."
Told that ASIC was investigating his offer, Stephens said: "I have told ASIC and Cobra's lawyers that if anyone intervenes in my bid unjustifiably, I will sue the shit out of them.
"It could have been market manipulation if I had stock in the company, but I didn't own a share.
"I wouldn't do that, that's stupid, that's insider trading and I ain't that silly.
"There are a lot of people that would like to nail me to the ground but they are not going to get that opportunity because I'm doing it legally."
Stephens, who served six years' jail for robbing a bank in 1981 and has been accused of taking the life savings of Olympic gold medallist Betty Cuthbert, is being sought by WA and SA police in relation to allegations of fraud and making a false representation to a police officer.
He has been banned for life from managing a company.
Stephens said Cobra shareholders were being "ripped off blind".
Having secured financial backing from a "Melbourne business person", Stephens said he planned to buy Cobra, de-list it from the ASX and appoint a new management team to realise the full potential of the miner's sites.
The ASX is not investigating his offer.
"We know of nothing at this stage that gives rise for concern other than that the original statement [to the ASX] might have confused some because of the author's error," an ASX spokesman said.

text: Megs 124 Report post Posted May 11, 2013 (edited) I am wondering if there is such a thing as a part time job in the industry. The reason I ask is because the people I live with are unexpectedly moving in a few months (I pay nearly nothing in rent and that's not an exaggeration). I am currently in school full time and have a part time job (that I sort of love). I absolutely do not make enough to afford a place to live, and my current job can't offer me more. I've been with my company for 6 years and they have been really good to me, I am the only person in my department. Still I've been going to school so I can change industries (from theater to games) and that is my eventual goal, but I really don't have any one specific skill to show off. Basically I'm looking at getting a second part time job once school is out so I can possibly start making enough money to get a place of my own before I'm uprooted. I would not want to leave my current job without giving them time to find someone that I could train to replace me. Are there any part time jobs available in this industry? I would consider getting a retail job or something but I have zero experience and at this point I'm pretty old, plus I would be making less per hour which is a little hard. I want to at least get started in games during this time when I am forced to find extra employment. Any suggestions? I know this is the absolutely lamest and loseriest story ever told, but it's just how things are. I decided to go back to school (almost right after graduating too) to get enough technical knowledge to change careers, and had to move back in with "my parents" basically. I had a job that offered great pay and super flexible hours and I've never had a problem with it, in fact I love the company and the people I work with, except that I don't love what I actually do (kind of the opposite really :/ ). Any suggestions for what I could do would be awesome, creative suggestions on how to make money freelance even. Like I said, I really don't have any particular skill. I can do a little bit of almost everything but that's about it. You can check out my completely unfinished "portfolio" that I just started building if you want proof. I guess I could just quit my job and burn my bridges there, but it would really break my heart to have to do it so soon. EDIT: I thought I should add that I live in San Francisco.
