The Revisionist is scheduled to run through March 31, 2013.
In The Revisionist David (Eisenberg) arrives in Poland with a crippling case of writer's block and a desire to be left alone. His 75-year-old second cousin Maria (Redgrave) welcomes him with a fervent need to connect with her distant American family. As their tenuous relationship develops, she reveals details about her complicated post-war past that tests their ideas of what it means to be a family.
Jesse Eisenberg most recently wrote and starred in Rattlestick's Asuncion at the Cherry Lane Theatre, for which he was nominated for a Drama League Award. He has appeared in the films The Social Network (Oscar nomination), Zombieland, Adventureland (BAFTA nomination), The Squid and the Whale, and Roger Dodger. He is also a contributing writer for McSweeney's and his humor essays have appeared in Harper's and The New York Times.
Vanessa Redgrave was Guest Director of the Brighton Festival 2012. During the Festival she directed and narrated with Nadim Sawalha & Najla Said, a play with music and a girls' choir, devised by Vanessa and Mariam C. Said, based on the memoir of Mariam's mother Wadad Makdisi Cortas, a devoted teacher and principal of a girls' school in Beirut, Lebanon. This was presented at the Theatre Royal, Brighton in May, 2012. In June 2012 in Dublin, Vanessa recited the Seamus Heaney poem "The Republic of Conscience" for the Amnesty International Concert for Aung San Suu Kyi, who received the Ambassador of Conscience Award from Bono. Ms. Redgrave was last on Broadway in the 2010-2011 season with James Earl Jones and Boyd Gaines in Alfred Uhry's Driving Miss Daisy, directed by David Esbjornson. In the 2007 season she was seen in Joan Didion's play The Year of Magical Thinking, directed by Sir David Hare. She appears in a new film with Terence Stamp, Song for Marion, screened at the TIFF Festival in Toronto September 2012, and also on October 19, 2012 at the London Film Festival. Coriolanus, the film starring and directed by Ralph Fiennes, in which Vanessa plays Volumnia, the mother of Shakespeare's warrior, was also screened at these festivals in 2011. One of Vanessa's favorite roles is in "Letters to Juliet" directed by Gary Winnick, filmed in Italy in 2009, and also in The Whistleblower with Rachel Weisz, released 2011. Ms. Redgrave's television movies include "Playing for Time," "Second Serve," "If These Walls Could Talk 2," and "The Gathering Storm," and her numerous film credits include Morgan; A Man for All Seasons; Isadora; Mary, Queen of Scots; Murder on the Orient Express; The Bostonians; Prick Up Your Ears; Howards End; Mission: Impossible; and Julia for which she received the Academy Award, Golden Globe Award, and Los Angeles Film Critics' Circle Award for Best Supporting Actress.

TPWD Biologists Seek Help In Tracking Rare Hummingbirds
AUSTIN, Texas — "The buzz" is that Lubbock had its first confirmed sighting of a White-eared Hummingbird recently and Texas Parks and Wildlife Department biologists are seeking the public's help in tracking this rare bird and others around Texas.
"This is a very exciting find in the Lubbock area and for the Great Plains of Texas," said Mark Klym, TPWD's coordinator of the Texas Hummingbird Roundup. "The White-eared Hummingbird is one that few Texans have enjoyed in their own state, and for it to be seen in such atypical habitat is fascinating."
The medium-sized "chunky" hummingbird has a round head, and a short straight red bill tipped in black. Other striking features are a black, slightly forked tail and distinctive white patch on the side of its dark head. The bird is normally associated with pine-oak woods and mountain pine forests and borders.
There were only 14 accepted records of this bird in Texas prior to this year, most of them west of the Pecos River. The bird is typically known to nest in New Mexico and southeast Arizona.
"This is a bird that we really have little information about in Texas because of its scarcity in the state," said Klym. "Any information we get about the White-eared Hummingbird is a contribution to our knowledge on the bird."
The Texas Hummingbird Roundup is a TPWD program that enables Texans to assist TPWD biologists study the birds' feeding patterns, behavior, range and distribution. The program provides participants with a kit that includes a survey form and "A Quick Reference Guide to Texas Hummingbirds" booklet, with information on Texas' species of hummingbird, how to clean and maintain feeders, and suggestions on additional plants for the garden.
"We suspect the White-eared Hummingbird is nesting in West Texas but have been unable to find a female working on a nest there," Klym said. "Contributions from birders; home gardeners who have hummingbirds coming to their plants or feeders; and just interested people who happen to see hummingbirds are very helpful to us in learning about hummingbirds in general."
For more information about the Texas Hummingbird Roundup, or if you spot a White-eared Hummingbird, please call (512) 389-4644.

"Starting our lives together is something we both cannot wait for, and we would never have found each other if it weren't for ChristianMingle."
I am currently a chiropractic student at Parker University in Dallas, Texas. I always wanted to start dating since moving, but felt I did not have the time to go out and meet people. My friend convinced me to start online dating, but I knew I wanted a Christian girl, so she convinced me to try ChristianMingle.
I had a profile for about two months before meeting Kylie. We exchanged phone numbers and talked for a while before deciding to meet up for a date. After about a month we officially started dating, and the feelings and emotions moved very quickly. I knew that God had blessed me with something more amazing than I could have dreamt of.
After eight months of officially dating, I asked her to marry me, and she said "Yes." We are currently planning our wedding for May 2nd, 2015. Starting our lives together is something we both cannot wait for, and we would never have found each other if it weren't for ChristianMingle. She lives about an hour from me in a small town that I did not even know existed until I met her, and funny enough, I passed through her town when we first began talking.
God truly showed me how much this was meant to be. Her family and mine were surprisingly very glad we decided to do online dating and knew we would be a perfect match from the beginning.

Paper shredders offer a specific level of security. There are six different levels that provide a specific amount of security. Some levels offer a lot of security, while others offer only the minimal security. Making sure you have the level that best suits your needs is important for protecting yourself and your business.
Strip-cut shredders are the least secure and range from level 1 to level 3. The level 1 strip-cut shredders will make strips of paper that are 12 mm by 40 mm. This is ideal for people that do not have a lot of confidential documents and do not need a lot of protection. The level 2 strips are 6 mm by 40 mm and the level 3 are 2 mm by 40 mm. Although they are more secure then level 1, they are still not ideal for deeply sensitive material.
Cross-cut shredders are a great alternative for extra security protection. They all come in security level four. The shredder cuts the paper into shreds of paper that are 2 mm by 15 mm. It is ideal for confidential documents and sensitive material. Bills, employment documents, medical information and private correspondences should be shredded with a minimum of a level 4 security level shredder.
Finally, micro-cut shredders provide the best security and protection. They come in two different security levels, 5 and 6. The level 5 shredders cut shreds that are .8 mm by 12 mm and the level 6 are .8 mm by 4 mm. This type of shredder is ideal for banking documents and other documents that contain private information such as social security numbers, banking information and license information.
Using the correct paper shredder for you needs will not only guarantee your protection, but will also give you the piece of mind that your information is not going to end up in the wrong hands.

The Italian has issued a statement through the League Managers' Association and lists last season's Champions League win with the club as the finest achievement of his career
The Italian was shown the door by Roman Abramovich just hours after the Blues were beaten 3-0 by Juventus to leave their Champions League hopes hanging by a thread.
Rafael Benitez has been hired as the 42-year-old's replacement, while the former midfielder has hailed last season's European triumph with the Blues as the greatest achievement of his entire career.
In a statement released via the League Managers Association, Di Matteo said: "It was an honour for me to be appointed manager of a club that I loved playing for and one that is so close to my heart.
"I am extremely proud of the successes and trophies that we were able to bring to the club in recent months.
"Lifting Chelsea's first Champions League trophy, in Munich, was the best achievement in club history and without doubt the highlight of my career to date, both as a player and manager.
"It is a memory I will treasure for the rest of my life.
"I have a deep and unreserved passion for Chelsea Football Club and I would like to sincerely thank all of the staff, my players and of course the Chelsea fans, for their tremendous and unconditioned support in the intense time I have been the manager at the Bridge.
"I wish all of them every success for the rest of the season and beyond."

iPhone 5: skinny li'l fella with better display, camera, software
No surprises – and no NFC – but a thoroughgoing upgrade
Wireless acronyms galore
The new iPhone's connectivity has been increased, as well. As widely rumored, it now supports the LTE wireless broadband spec, as well as (take a deep breath) GPRS, EDGE, EVDO, HSPA, HSPA+, and DC-HSDPA. Sounds like a "world phone" to us, and one that will have LTE support through AT&T, Verizon, and Sprint in the US; Deutschte Telekom in Europe; EE in the UK; and Telstra, Optus, and Virgin Mobile in Oz.
Of course, wireless doesn't just mean connections through telecoms – there's Wi-Fi in the iPhone 5, as well – 802.11 a/b/g/n, to be precise.
Another major step up from the iPhone 5, Schiller said, is its new A6 processor, which he claims will double both compute and graphics performance. Even with that extra power, he boasted, battery life will remain strong: eight hours of 3G talk time, eight hours of LTE browsing, 10 hours of Wi-Fi browsing, and 40 hours of playing music. Standby time? 225 hours – aka nearly nine-and-a-half days.
The camera in the new iPhone also got some love from Apple engineers. It now has a eight megapixel (3264-by-2448) sensor, a five-element ƒ2.4 lens, a low-light mode, and backside illumination. Its lens cover is now a sapphire crystal – my, hard-core hardened jewels on your cameraphone.
Schiller also said that the A6 processor has the oomph to support 40 per cent faster image capture, plus high-quality automatic noise reduction and filtering. New software support from iOS 6 and iCloud provides panoramic photo stitching, plus other goodies such as video stabilization (1080p HD, of course) and face detection.
That's the backside camera. On the front, the FaceTime camera has been upgraded to 720p, also with face detection, and also backside illuminated. It'll also allow you – provider permitting, of course – to make FaceTime calls over your telecom-supplied wireless connection.
The iPhone 5 will run iOS 6's Passbook app, but hasn't any near field communication (NFC) hardware to enhance it
Schiller also touted the iPhone 5's improved five-magnet speakers, which he said sound better than the iPhone 4S despite being 20 per cent smaller. And speaking of sound, Apple is working with carriers to improve the audio quality of calls by broadening the audio spectrum they use beyond the now-standard midrange-focused compression.
As expected, the iPhone 5 is jettisoning the long-familiar 30-pin iPhone/iPod/iPad connector, and replacing it with a new connector that Apple has dubbed "Lightning" – Thunderbolt's little brother, perhaps?
Lightning is all digital, thus leaving old analog speaker docks and the like behind – although Apple will offer a 30-pin Lightning adapter that Schiller says will bring them out of the cold.

Two people were killed after their vehicle caught fire after going airborne in Metamora Township early Tuesday, law enforcement authorities said.
Oakland County Sheriff's Office deputies were dispatched at 1:20 a.m. to East Davison Lake Road and Barber Road -- east of M-24 Lapeer Road and south of Dryden Road -- for a car fire. When they arrived the vehicle was discovered in the northbound traffic lane of Barber Road just north of the intersection at East Davison Lake Road.
The vehicle was fully engulfed in flames and appeared to have been burning for some time, deputies said.
The Sheriff's dispatchers notified Lapeer County responders because the crash was in their jurisdiction. Oxford Township Fire Department crews arrived and extinguished the fire.
As firefighters were dousing the fire, Oakland County Sheriff's deputies saw what appeared to be a person in the driver's area of the vehicle. Oxford Fire extinguished the fire and found two occupants, both deceased.
Metamora Township police officers arrived and took control of the scene. Lapeer County Sheriff's Office also assisted.
A preliminary investigation determined that the vehicle had struck the northeast embankment of the intersection, went airborne and came to rest in the roadway on Barber Road. �
Metamora Township police said the single vehicle had hit trees and the roadway shoulder and then burst into flames.
Names are not being released until autopsies and dental examinations are completed Wednesday, police said.
Metamora police said it is unknown if alcohol played a role in the crash, and they added no other detail would be released until toxicology reports are completed.

Boston Celtics rookie forward Jared Sullinger will undergo back surgery and will be lost for the season, according to multiple media reports, the latest blow to a reeling team.
Sullinger, 20, left the Celtics game Wednesday against the Sacramento Kings with back spasms and did not return. According to multiple reports, he received treatment Thursday and although he didn't participate in Friday morning's shootaround ahead of a night home game against the Magic the back problem wasn't considered serious.
Howevever, CBSSports.com reported Friday afternoon that Sullinger would, in fact, need back surgery that Yahoo! Sports said would force him to miss the remainder of the season.
Sullinger's injury is another hit to the Celtics, who were rocked last weekend when they lost All-Star guard Rajon Rondo for the season with an ACL tear.
MORE: Celtics prepare for Rondo-less path
Sullinger, who struggled with back problems in college as an All-American at Ohio State, slipped out of the lottery to the Celtics at No. 21 in the 2012 draft in part because of concerns about his durability related to his back.
He had moved into the starting lineup in recent weeks, providing the struggling Celtics some much-needed energy at forward as Brandon Bass regressed.
Sullinger was averaging 6.0 points and 5.9 rebounds per game.

Irritated, Inflamed Upper Back of Mouth
Periodically and recurrently I get an illness with the following symptoms: When my illness starts, I get an irritated feeling at the upper back of my mouth/throat,where there's a connection to the nose.
Then later I get other symptoms: I feel warm, especially the face, like a fever - upper nose irritated feeling - eyes feel warm - my sinus area, upper head area feels 'tight', irritated - I get a sore throat. I feel tired, lack my normal energy. Nose runs a small bit sometimes, nose is a bit stuffy - sometimes a slight upset stomach. these symptoms have been recurrent for years - symptoms are there a few days, then I get better for a few days to a week or two,then the symptoms come back again - sometimes it's like a constantly recurring mild sinus cold.
Many times when I eat, some food seems to go up through the passage at the back of my mouth instead of down my throat, causing irritation in the upper, back of my mouth and throat.
It seems to almost get sucked up the upper, back of my mouth (i.e. opening leading to my nose). This is often the start of my symptoms.
I get inflammation of my nose and mouth/throat - sometimes food seems to get stuck in my throat Thank you.
I would recommend you seen an experienced allergist who can determine whether this is an allergic or non-allergic chronic rhinitis condition. Many of your symptoms could be related to this condition. It is also necessary to determine if you have structural problems contributing to your symptoms.

Reporting better than projected results for the first half of 2013, Chiquita Brands International Inc. saw the first quarter-over-quarter increase in its salad business since 2008 during the second quarter of this year.
Ed Lonergan, president and chief executive officer of the Charlotte, N.C., company said Aug. 8 the salad growth came in branded, private label and foodservice products.
"With private label and branded we are adding 4 million cases (of salad) on an annualized basis," Lonergan said.
Net sales of Chiquita's salad and healthy snacks — which the company does not separate on its balance sheet — increased 3% to $260 million compared to $252 million in the second quarter of 2012.
Resisting the opportunity to change projections based on the good news from the salad division, company officials told investors and media during a conference call that they continue to anticipate 7% to 8% growth by the end of 2015.
Banana news was not as robust. While North America volumes increased 11.1% in 2Q of 2013 compared with 2012, pricing decreased 2.9% resulting. Overall, Chiquita's banana net sales decrease of 2.5% to $519 million compared with $533 million in the 2Q of 2012.
Declines in banana volumes in core European markets and the Mideast, plus supply issues related to weather conditions in Latin America and Ecuador, created some problems. But, Lonergan said new contracts in North America executed in late 2012 and early 2013 will eventually boost the company's overall banana picture.
In its "other produce" division, Chiquita posted a 29.7% decrease in net sales for 2Q in 2013, logging $34 million compared with $49 million in the 2Q of 2012.
Chiquita's overall net income for 2013's second quarter was $31 million, compared with $6 million for the same period in 2012. The company reported operating income for the quarter of $42 million, compared with $25 million in 2012. Net sales declined from $833 million in the 2Q of 2012 to $812 million in the 2Q of 2013.
Consolidation of their Midwest salad plants is costing more than expected, Chiquita officials said. They spent $7 million on the project in the second quarter.
Another $7 million in expenses is expected in the third quarter, but Chiquita officials said the salad consolidation should be complete by the beginning of the fourth quarter with no expenditures anticipated.
Bad weather in salad growing regions of the U.S. also hindered their salad business, and they expect that problem to continue through the third quarter.
Lonergan said the company's attention to overall cost cutting, dubbed "Project Evolution," includes improving logistics and efficiencies in growing operations the company controls. He said Chiquita owns or leases about 40% of the land that produces its bananas.
"Our competitor controls a little more than 50% of theirs," he said, adding that Chiquita will continue to strategically buy and lease more land as prime lots become available.

Sox don't meet expectations in loss to Halos
Ventura holds pregame meeting to discuss lackluster defense
CHICAGO -- Robin Ventura apparently has grown tired of listening to the same old song.
The White Sox manager called a rare pregame meeting on Saturday following batting practice at U.S. Cellular Field, coming on the heels of Friday's series-opening loss to the Angels, during which their season-long defensive issues rose open again. Not just physical mistakes, mind you, but also cutoff men being missed or players late to cover at a base.
Following that meeting, Ventura's crew went out and dropped a 3-2 decision to the Angels before 28,774 on Paul Konerko Bobblehead Night. This particular setback featured three errors and a passed ball, leaving the last-place White Sox (14-20) and the Angels (14-22) tied with an American League-worst 27 errors.
As a point of reference, the White Sox didn't commit error No. 27 last season until June 8.
A safe assumption can be made that this extremely rough defensive display stood as one of the talking points for Ventura, who confirmed the meeting, but didn't reveal much more.
"Stuff just needed to be said," Ventura said. "It's just at a point where I needed to say some stuff and I did."
Konerko, the team captain and steady leader, shed a bit more light on the meeting and the White Sox overall struggles.
"It wasn't like jumping us like crazy, but it also wasn't the old upbeat positive one. It was probably somewhere in the middle," said Konerko of Ventura's talk. "Sometimes meetings like that, it doesn't come out right away, it takes a few days, it's kind of a delayed effect.
"You know, everybody's working. It's a tough thing sometimes. This year it's been the mistakes we make, the hits we don't get, it's coming from a place of trying too hard. When you're in here and you're with everybody all the time, we have some good older players in here.
"If we weren't going about it right, there would be issues. It's just not the case," Konerko said. "It's coming from a place of wanting to do so good. We've just got to figure out a way to find that happy spot where we're not trying too hard."
Saturday's go-ahead run scored in the third, courtesy of the defensive miscues. Mike Trout, who delivered a two-run homer in the first off Jose Quintana (2-1), opened the third with a single, but was promptly picked off.
Albert Pujols followed with a single, and one out later, Josh Hamilton hit what looked to be a routine inning-ending grounder to second baseman Tyler Greene. With Hamilton running hard down the line, Greene threw wide of first base and Adam Dunn was unable to corral the wild throw that sent Pujols to third.
Pujols then scored on a passed ball by Tyler Flowers, as Pujols avoided Quintana's tag with his left hand and sneaked his right hand on to the plate.
"He got a good read, got his hand in there," said Angels manager Mike Scioscia of Pujols' strong baserunning move. "He reacted well on that play, and once he got going, he was OK."
Alejandro De Aza committed an error on Hamilton's first-inning double, and Dunn dropped Pujols' fifth-inning popup, but neither one led to a run. Ventura understands physical mistakes are part of baseball and doesn't believe the miscues are coming from poor mental focus.
"But you know it's just one of those that you do have to do it better," Ventura said. "It's that simple."
Jerome Williams (2-1) didn't exactly mesmerize the White Sox offense, with Trout recording 10 putouts in center field alone. Even when a ball was well struck, such as Alex Rios' long fly to left with one out in the third, it ended up in Mark Trumbo's glove a few feet from the wall.
This White Sox squad isn't exactly blessed with an abundance of speed. And with an on-base percentage ranked 15th in the AL and big producers such as Dunn featuring a dismal 16 hits in 117 at-bats overall, it's hard for the South Siders to sustain big rallies.
In the second, for example, Konerko, Dayan Viciedo (3-for-3), Jeff Keppinger, Greene and De Aza all singled off of Williams, but the White Sox managed just two runs. Keppinger was thrown out at home plate by Hamilton to end the rally.
Quintana allowed two earned runs over six innings and a career-high 117 pitches, while battling through a high early count. He struck out five and walked one, but the unearned run in the third was the difference.
"Those are things that we don't control, and I'm sure that my teammate didn't want to make a mistake," said Quintana, through translator and White Sox coach Lino Diaz. "I just wanted to stop the rally right there and just get out of the inning."
After 34 games, the White Sox sit six out of first in the AL Central and even 3 1/2 games out of fourth. Simply put, they are not playing very good baseball and that fact has not gone unnoticed by Ventura.
According to Konerko, though, accepting your team as the one struggling instead of trying to fight and deny it, while continuing to put in the work, just might lead to a turnaround.
"I feel if we just keep going at it the right way it's got to come out. You've got to believe that," Konerko said. "Sometimes it's hard to believe that but as a player I've seen it happen a lot to yourself and to teams. You just have to keep believing. There's no other choice."

Self Against City
Sacramento's emo-pop outfit Self Against City came together in 2004 and, a mere five months after forming, became the first band signed to the Drive-Thru subsidiary Rushmore Records. The guys -- vocalist Jonathan Michael Temkin, guitarists Jack Matranga and Jeff LaTour, bassist Patrick O'Connor, and drummer Chris Trombley -- posted some demos online, which Drive-Thru co-owner Richard Reines stumbled upon and was quickly impressed by. Self Against City (who take their name from mishearing a radio DJ announce Bowie's "Suffragette City") soon played a showcase for the label and ultimately inked a deal in late 2004. Their first EP, Take It How You Want It, appeared in April 2005, boasting a sound close to Mae or the Early November, and the band hopped on the road with labelmates Houston Calls in support. Recording for their debut Rushmore full-length began in March 2006 with producer Steve Haigler (Pixies, Brand New), and following its June completion, O'Connor and Trombley exited the band. Telling Secrets to Strangers was then released in early January 2007. ~ Corey Apar

Here's two videos that both help you make music with hardware. One is based on 1970's tech and the other is pure 2009. What's more lust worthy? A green lit Minimoog Voyager or an iPhone with polyphonic velocity sensitive keys controlling Ableton and more?
"The MF-101 Low Pass Filter's ENV OUT Control Voltage makes a number of amazing Rhythmic Modulation techniques possible. This video shows some of these applications in a Dance Music setting. This technique is not limited to Dance Music. The applications are as endless as your imagination." – MoogMusicInc
MSA Remote + VDMX + Ableton Live from Memo Akten on Vimeo.
"MSA Remote is a remote control application for iPhone & iPod Touch that sends OSC messages over the wifi network. This allows you to control any OSC supporting applications such as Max/MSP/Jitter, PureData, Reaktor, VDMX, vvvv, Resolume, Quartz Composer etc. In this video, OSCulator is routing the OSC (& TUIO) messages coming from MSA Remote to midi and forwarding to Ableton Live and VDMX simultaneously. Nothing is done in post, the same signal is controlling both audio and video. At the beginning of the video you can see the polyphonic velocity sensitive keys in action (yes, the harder you hit the keys, the louder the sound – works equally well when the iphone is laid on a table), and later on the faders, triggers and multitouch tuio-pad. Should be in the app store soon: www.memo.tv/msaremote_for_iphone" – Memo Akten
I like you so you can have both set ups but for fun answer me this: Which set up would you rather have?

Hello all,
I have a small question regarding a monk's weight.
Since I'm observing 7 precepts, I've lost 7kg in less than a month, from 69kg to 62kg.
From my in-body experience, I feel a bit lighter and with less tension inside my body. Since I've never felt this, I was wondering if this is what usually happens and how much a monk of my height (1,84m) usually weights with one meal a day.
Metta to all!

I have considered myself a Buddhist for many years. I have read a great number of books on the subject and I think that I have a good basic understanding of the Buddha's teaching. My problem now is finding personal guidance.
The person who introduced me to Buddhism many years ago was a Zen monk. I have ben attending a local Zen center for regular meditation practice. I asked the monk in charge of the center to explain his idea of Zen to me, and he said that it is like a "short cut" to nirvana. He also said that it is good to keep a questioning mind and to never lose the feeling of not knowing.
Maybe it's just my western upbringing, but my "not knowing" mind is not satisfied by being told to keep "not knowing." In all of my reading of what the Buddha taught, he gave great and practical advice to those who were seeking it, but he never suggested that the average person just sit or chant for hours or days on end as a means to a "short cut."
I want to learn, but one can only read so many books. I am wary of taking a college type of class because I don't want to read text books or memorize dates and names and vocabulary terms. I want to embrace Buddhism and bring it into my life.
Can anyone suggest a course of action for me? Are there temples or centers that offer more than just the chance to sit quietly? I live in Las Vegas, and a simple Google search shows me that there are plenty of places here in town, but is there a better way to go about it than just visiting a different temple every week and hoping to stumble upon a good match for me? For lack of any better ideas, my next action will be to join a local Meet Up group and see what that has to offer. At least it will probably give me a chance to meet like-minded people and see what they would do in my situation.

Other: flow cytometry
- To compare identification of circulating breast cancer cells (CBCCs) in blood or pleural or peritoneal fluid by a novel technique using stem cell marker retinaldehyde dehydrogenase (ALDH) and surface antigen expression (CD44+, CD24-) to the standard technique using the CellSearch® system in women with metastatic breast cancer.
- To determine whether CBCCs have the potential to grow into metastatic lesions.
OUTLINE: Patients undergo sample collection to help develop a new technique using stem cell marker retinaldehyde dehydrogenase (ALDH) and surface antigen expression (CD44+, CD24-) in isolating circulating breast cancer cells (CBCCs) from blood and pleural or peritoneal fluid. Blood may also be drawn to measure the number of circulating tumor cells using the standard CellSearch® system.
Mononuclear cells are isolated by density centrifugation. Cells are stained against surface antigens that provide specific expression patterns for CBCCs (CD44, CD24). Cells are analyzed on a fluorescence activated cell sorting (FACS) Calibur flow cytometer and sequentially gated (ALDHhigh→CD44+ vs CD24-/low or CD44+ vs CD24-/low→ALDHhigh) for detection of CBCCs. For further confirmation of epithelial origin, ALDHhighCD44+CD24-/low cells are isolated using a FACSAria flow sorter, cytocentrifuged onto glass slides then stained for the expression of epithelial-specific cytokeratins 5, 8, 14, 18 and 19 by standard immunohistochemical techniques. Using the phenotype that is found to most highly enrich for epithelial cells, cells are isolated by FACS and assayed for clonogenic growth.

Hochevar having success airing it out as reliever
KANSAS CITY -- Increasingly, Luke Hochevar is catching onto this relief gig.
The big right-hander, a starter throughout his career, was moved to the bullpen with the influx of new starting pitchers, and he appeared in his ninth game on Thursday night at Baltimore. With the Royals ahead, 6-2, he reeled through a perfect ninth to finish the game. It wasn't a save situation, but it gave him a taste of a late-inning finish with the game fairly close.
"When you're playing a team like Baltimore or you're playing teams at the top of the division and you have the lead, you want to go with your best pitchers," manager Ned Yost said. "And to be able to put him in that spot, it's just a little progression. Yeah, he had a bit of a safety net because if he puts two guys on, here comes Holly [closer Greg Holland], but still, he's making great strides. It's not that he can't do it, it's just getting him accustomed to the situations."
Last Sunday against Chicago, Hochevar pitched two perfect innings, the eighth and ninth. The Royals tied the score, 5-5, in the ninth and won in the 10th, with Holland getting the victory.
"It's a little different. You're usually coming in in a situation -- with runners on, or in a tight game," Hochevar said.
Now that he's not starting, Hochevar finds himself able to unload his entire arsenal right away instead of perhaps holding something back for the next time or two that he'll face a batter. In relief, there aren't many second or third times around.
"I feel more that I'm coming out with everything rather than saving a pitch, holding a pitch or using a pitch to set somebody up," Hochevar said. "You still have to make quality pitches."
So far, so good. For the 12 1/3 innings that Hochevar had pitched prior to the Yankees series, his ERA was 0.73 with 13 strikeouts.
Yost really wants to see how Hochevar progresses in relief, so if he ever needs to reach into the bullpen for a starter, he's more likely to tap left-hander Bruce Chen instead of Hochevar.
"I'm not going to take him out of the bullpen just to start him again, no," Yost said. "But if there's a need, yeah, we'd consider it. But we'd have to get there. That's a tough question to answer."

Solution Spotlight: Come On Aboard: Solving Problems In Ethanol Plants
Kathy | July 1, 2008
This forward-thinking supplier is taking the type of solutions that improve efficiency and help reduce operating costs directly to end users in one of the fastest-growing industries on the planet.
SEPCO® (Sealing Equipment Products Co., Inc.), a manufacturer of fluid sealing products headquartered in Alabaster, AL, has taken an innovative approach to providing sealing solutions to the ethanol industry. World demand for alternative fuel sources has produced rapid growth and expansion of ethanol facilities, all of which has presented new demands and challenges for support companies that serve this burgeoning industry.
To meet these new challenges head-on, SEPCO has dedicated full attention to the developing bio-fuels industry by using its Mobile Ethanol Support Unit—otherwise known as "MoE"—as a tool to share its products and programs through instruction, demonstration, plant support and training.
On-site with MoE
The Mobile Ethanol Support Unit takes SEPCO support programs directly to ethanol plants. The unit serves as a classroom for hands-on training of fluid sealing products which are used in operations. Ethanol plant employees are trained on SEPCO mechanical seals that include, but are not limited to, the hot oil Seal (HOS), double tandem pumper (DTP), cartridge grease seal (CGS) and many other fluid sealing products. Another primary function of the MoE unit is to serve as a central point of support during plant outages and start-ups by providing inventory and technical assistance at the site. The MoE also can be used as a base of operations in performing plant equipment inventories/ surveys and developing fluid sealing applications to maximize equipment operational performance.
Totally self-contained, the MoE has its own computer system, audiovisual equipment and graphics and product literature. Working models of pumps for training are onboard, as is an inventory of SEPCO fluid sealing products.
According to a SEPCO spokesman, this mobile support unit has been very well received by end users. Scheduling information may be obtained by calling the company. MT

"They could turn out to be only innocent mathematicians, I suppose," muttered Woevre's section officer, de Decker.
"'Only.'" Woevre was amused. "Someday you'll explain to me how that's possible. Seeing that, on the face of it, all mathematics leads, doesn't it, sooner or later, to some kind of human suffering."

A senior International Olympic Committee official has called for anyone found guilty of selling London 2012 tickets on the black market to be banned from any future role in sport.
The IOC has launched an investigation into allegations by the Sunday Times that 27 Olympic officials and agents, representing 54 countries, were prepared to breach regulations on ticket sales.
Denis Oswald, a member of the IOC executive committee and the London organising committee, insisted: "These people should no longer belong to the Olympic movement."
Oswald, who participated in Saturday's emergency IOC meeting via conference call, suspects there will have been similar cases at every previous Olympic Games but never a scandal on this scale.
He claimed: "We will ask for the documents and the tapes, whatever is existing from the Sunday Times. If this is confirmed then sanctions must be taken. For me (banning them from distributing tickets in the future) would not be enough. These people should no longer belong to the Olympic movement.
"People were aware they were breaking the rules. It is why it is very serious, especially people in situations where they have responsibilities for their own national sport and are prepared to break the rules.
"There are probably differences between the different cases and you cannot treat everybody the same. But, depending on the result of the inquiry, there could be a sanction that people are no longer accepted in the Olympic movement and therefore they should have no link with sport in their own country."
Oswald was voicing a personal opinion because the issue of sanctions had not been discussed by the IOC.
The former Swiss Olympic rower, who won a bronze medal in 1968, stressed that any punishment should only affect the individual involved and not have an adverse impact on the athletes or the National Olympic Committees.
The IOC is investigating claims that the 27 officials and agents were "willing to break the rules by offering to buy or sell tickets outside their territory, sell tickets at inflated prices, or sell tickets to unauthorised resellers".

'How dependent was Buffalo on its league-leading goaltender? Let us count the saves. Sixteen in the first period and another 10 in the second before his teammates finally concluded his effort was too strong to waste. This makes Miller 4-0 on the season, with six goals allowed on 105 shots, good for a .942 save percentage. It appears he was serious about all that title talk when he signed the new contract. Just ask Marco Sturm, the Boston winger who twice thought he had the game put away only to have Miller thwart him with dazzling saves.'

DETROIT - Detroit Mayor Dave Bing presented his 2013-2014 budget to City Council on Friday.
Watch Local 4 News at Noon for details on what he had to say.
The current budget was for $1.1 billion and included $250 million in cuts aimed at bringing down Detroit's deficit, which now stands at around $327 million.
The city has been under an emergency manager since mid-March, when Gov. Rick Snyder gave the job to Kevyn Orr.
The new budget will be the first while the city is under Orr's oversight.
Orr spokesman Bill Nowling says the emergency manager must approve any budget decision made by the mayor and council. Orr also has the authority to reject or modify the budget.
A state-appointed review team report said the city faces a cash shortfall of more than $100 million by June 30, and that long-term liabilities, including unfunded pension liabilities, exceeded $14 billion. Detroit has been borrowing to continue operations and would have fallen about nearly $1 billion short last year if it hadn't issued new debt.

ROYAL OAK -- An attorney representing the family of the man killed when his house exploded from a damaged natural gas line says utility workers almost punctured the line outside a house a few doors away from the victim.
Attorney Stuart Sklar said he has photo evidence showing the horizontal drilling bore used by a Consumers Energy crew to maneuver underground came dangerously close to the line in front of 4202 Cooper, where Brian and Laura Kelly live with their two children.
"At some point in time they came within an inch of hitting the service line to that house," Sklar said. "Can you imagine the damage that would have been done if there was another leak? This horrible tragedy could have been much worse."
Sklar isn't releasing the photo but he did share one of the broken service line to the house of 58-year-old Daniel Malczynski, a General Motors retiree who died in the explosion felt and heard for miles last Wednesday.
The next day Consumers Energy accepted responsibility for the blast that also damaged about 30 houses and led to an evacuation. A spokesperson for the utility said a crew nicked the service line.
Sklar described the line as "gouged." He also said the preliminary investigation into the deadly blast raises a lot of questions about how Consumers Energy drills, whether proper plans were followed, and what precautions were taken.
At this point he is only representing the family of Mr. Malczynski, who was found dead on his front lawn.
"He retired two years ago and he was loving it," Sklar said. "His family is devastated. You couldn't find a more likable person than Dan Malczynski."
Sklar said he didn't expect Consumers Energy to take responsibility so soon.
"I was very surprised but happy about that and we have asked them to acknowledge in writing that fault is not an issue," Sklar said.
The utility was doing routine gas line replacement in the area last week. Soon after a crew left a work site in front of Malczynski's house, 4232 Cooper, the explosion rocked the area and flames shot up. The victim's roof flew off his house and some of it landed on the house across the street. Wood planks hung 30 feet high in a tree and debris littered the area for blocks.
"The house was pulverized," Sklar said. "The damage was among the worst I've seen."
The side walls of the houses on either side of the leveled dwelling also were blown open. The victim's neighbor directly to the north could be heard yelling for help from under the collapsed wall at 4240 Cooper.
City Manager Donald Johnson said several "heroes" rushed to the scene and rescued her.
"Events like this, as tragic as they are, often bring out the best in people," he said.
The city and Royal Oak's police and fire department's gave commendations on Monday to the people who risked their own life and limb to help the woman. They are: James Greenway, an employee of Joe's Army Navy, which is a block away on Woodward Avenue; Oakland County Sheriff Department Sgt. Gary Glover, who was in the area for an unrelated investigation; Carl Vargo, who was baby-sitting his grandchildren across the street; and neighbors Christopher Chase and Kate and Nicholas Sikora.
Police Chief Corrigan O'Donohue said Greenway left work and ran to the scene, where he heard the cries for help.
"James entered the unstable structure through a hole in the wall and located the elderly resident buried under the rubble," the chief said. "Without regard for his own safety he removed the debris and attempted to help the woman out"
Glover joined him along with Vargo and the neighbors.
"Working together they helped the injured woman out of her nearly completely destroyed home and once out Kate brought her to her home and tended to her wounds, which thankfully were not serious," the chief said. "These recipients entered a dangerous and extremely volatile environment with no personal protection equipment and without regard for their personal safety to rescue an elderly neighbor. For their courageous acts, the city and Royal Oak police and fire departments commend them."
As he passed out the certificates, O'Donohue asked Chase his age. The young man answered 18.
"When you turn 21 give me a call," the chief told him.
The city manager said Tuesday that the cleanup effort continues on Cooper. The street is open again but not the sidewalk in front of where the victim lived and the badly damaged houses on either side.
"They will likely be torn down and maybe a house across the street," Johnson said.

Gui Boratto
US: 13 Mar 2007
UK: Available as import
Chromophobia balances an ornamental relationship between the large and the small. Even alongside sterling efforts from DeepChord Presents: Echospace, Stephan Bodzin, The Field, and others—each album boasting its own hypnotic aesthetic—Gui Boratto's tech house and pop retained a memorable spot in 2007's most intriguing electronic music. Chromophobia is marked with diversity that spans plains in mere moments, with lush trance webs and mildly speckled introductions. In one segment worth sharing, Boratto uses dramatically Cure-inspired synths in "Xilo" to follow bleeps and midtempo crackles in "Acrostico", just before a cinema-sized charger called "Beautiful Life" bursts from an almost-hesitant liftoff. "Beautiful Life's" climactic surges come off otherworldly and gluttonous when played next to the miniature chimes-and-clicks symphony in opener "Scene", but like Chromophobia's palette of sounds, its scale is expansive and vast. Dominic Umile
Gui Boratto - Beautiful Life
As Eluvium, Matthew Cooper is creating the most striking instrumental ambient music of our time. Still, "ambient" seems the wrong word. It conjures up notions of static or barely moving mood-pieces casting a subtle shade on the listener's surroundings. A transfixing mood is definitely present throughout Copia, but there's movement, too. There's an emotional heft to the compositions that makes them almost pop songs, with melody playing as large a role as atmosphere. Copia stands out in Eluvium's discography for his abandonment of guitar in favor of mainly organ and piano. It stands out among other music made today for how simply it presents a complete universe of sound. This is music that stops time still while sparking motion within listeners' hearts and brains.

If Beirut's debut album, 2006's Gulag Orkestar, was Zach Condon's carefully etched postcard from the Eastern Bloc, then The Flying Club Cup finds him calling collect from a Parisian café—pinot in hand and pursed lips at the ready. Since its inception as an outlet for Condon's musical musings to a fully fledged 'band' with actual members, Beirut has always bore exotic gifts. On The Flying Club Cup they've moved from painting Balkan music with a baroque brush to Gaelic folk and Jacques Brel balladry. The ukulele and horns are still present, but here we find them augmented by wheezing accordions and Owen Pallet's vibrant violin. Condon's elongated vocal style adds a rich, romantic overtone to the eclectic affair, which is timeless in its musical pursuit. The Flying Club Cup is the sound of someone finding their feet but deciding not to plant them in one place. Kevin Pearson

The pleasure of early Iron & Wine releases tended to lie in the hushed intimacy of Sam Beam's songs. The arrangements were so minimal and the delivery so muted and feather-light that you couldn't help feeling that they were being played just for you in your own living room (preferably in front of a blazing fire). Something's happened since 2004's excellent Our Endless Numbered Days, with Beam collaborating with Calexico and trying out some different sounds and textures. The Shepherd's Dog reflects this new, full-band incarnation of Iron & Wine and it's an adventurous extension of the Beam sound. This is the best Iron & Wine album yet because the warm, delicacy of old is still present even when the band is in strange new territory, whipping up a reggae jam or country stomp. Sam Beam is still playing in your living room—he's just brought some friends along. David Pullar

In the past, duos like Eric B. and Rakim and Pete Rock and CL Smooth have shown that chemistry cannot be forced and that an organic album can only be made when the men behind them take their ideas to a higher level. Blu and Exile hold that same type of musical and mental synchronization, and although they are far from legends in the hip-hop game, their first full-length collaboration Below the Heavens shows that the two have the potential to reach that status. Each artist contributes their own superbly honed skills to the album's 14 tracks, with Blu rapping as if he can only speak in complex rhymes and Exile dropping beats that glide along with crunchy soul samples and crisp drums. Unlike many underground rappers who are trying to break, Blu does not aggrandize himself or focus his rhymes on bling and cars. He is merely an average guy with adept lyrical skill, drawing only from his life and focusing on his depression, faltering romances and life of poverty. Blu is real, just like his listeners, and fantasy has no place on the record. But like every great hip-hop duo, an emcee needs an equally forceful producer, and Exile provides a splendidly lush soul soundscape. These two are so in sync with one another that if they can hold it together longer than other classic rap duos have and deliver more albums of this quality, then they will surely leave their mark on hip-hop.

New Young Pony Club
Fantastic Playroom
US: 28 Aug 2007
UK: 7 Jul 2007
On first exposure, it may seem odd that such a highly anticipated album was met with such a low-key response from the collective critical community. The reason for this probably has a lot more to do with the circumstances surrounding Fantastic Playroom's release than the actual album itself. A few of the band's singles had already been floating around the ether for the better part of a year before their debut actually dropped—by the time it did, bloggers and fashionistas who had already grown tired of "Ice Cream" had moved on to whatever Hot New Thing. All's the more shame, considering that "Ice Cream", for all its charm, is the worst track on the album. New Young Pony Club have defied one-hit-wonder expectations by crafting a classic freshman album that not only makes good on every erg of pre-release hype, but manages to overshoot even the wildest predictions of the band's boosters. Although they've been lumped in with a few other terrible bands in the ghastly "nu-rave" microgenre, Fantastic Playroom owes less to Altern-8 or the Shamen than the Talking Heads, specifically circa More Songs About Buildings and Food. The only thing is, singer Tahita Bulmer might just be better, and is definitely sexier than David Byrne. There's nothing faux about the authentic funk on display here. Just about perfect in every way. Tim O'Neil

Marry Me
(Beggars Banquet)
US: 10 Jul 2007
UK: 3 Sep 2007
St. Vincent - Marry Me 46906 For most people, playing guitar for Sufjan Stevens or the Polyphonic Spree would be the highlight of an entire career. For Annie Clark (who we know as St. Vincent and who's done both), it was just the prelude to her own remarkable solo debut. And thank god for that. Marry Me is one of those rare records that offers something new and imaginative with every track. Musically, Clark is as comfortable delicately placing a horn in the midst of a jazz-inspired torch song as she is building a distorted, choir-fuelled, indie-rock crescendo. And lyrically, she's just as hard to pin down. Marry Me echoes the whole anxious mess of our 21st century lives (from our war on terror to our fear of commitment), and since it's delivered with such sad whimsy, you're never quite sure whether you're supposed to break down and cry or just plain laugh at the glorious absurdity of it all. Either way, it's a beautiful thing to listen to. Adam Bunch

Ryan Adams
Easy Tiger
(Lost Highway)
US: 26 Jun 2007
UK: 25 Jun 2007
It's easy to over-praise Easy Tiger simply because of diminished expectations. After all, Ryan Adams released three wildly uneven full-length albums in 2005, along with a never-ending stream of hip-hop/hard-rock EPs on his website. Just when the world was ready to give up on him, Adams unleashed Easy Tiger, easily his best and most unified album since his classic solo debut, Heartbreaker. Yet where that album was steeped in metaphor, here Adams goes straight for the gut. His top-notch backing band, The Cardinals, have finally gelled with their leader, and together they can make country-rock excursions like "Tears of Gold" and the gorgeous "I Taught Myself How to Grow Old" seem absolutely effortless. Hell, even the obligatory rock number ("Halloweenhead") sounds totally comfortable within Tiger's bed of melancholy guitar pluckings. It's a hell of a contrast: on Adams' 2003/2004 mope-rock excursions Love Is Hell, Adams used two whole EPs to try and be deliberately cathartic. Here, all he needs to sing is the yearning line "You and I together / But only one of us in love" to get the same effect. In short: welcome back Ryan. We missed you. Evan Sawdey
MP3: Everybody Knows
Ryan Adams and The Cardinals - Two
Thematically, garage rock has typically dealt with the alleviation of boredom or the unleashing of desire through various outlets: self-destruction, self-mutilation, sex, driving. Contrarily, art-rock has typically dealt with the bottling up of those same desires. Why these two have never crossed paths is a question that critics have not asked enough, but that Liars are all too willing to answer for us. When Angus Andrews—the seven-foot, leering frontman of Liars—pleads, "there's someone for me", it's far from romantic. After seven tracks of brutal assaults, from the three chord nail-driver of "Plaster Casts of Everything" to the Troggs stomp of "Freak Out", there's no way to read it as anything but sick pleasures. With Liars, this trio finally takes their fascination with witchcraft and dark fantasies and directs it inward, taking the psychosis and bizarre imagery of art-rock and post-punk and matching it to the most visceral and varied rock and roll in eons. Tal Rosenberg

The Pipettes
We Are the Pipettes
US: 2 Oct 2007
UK: 17 Jul 2006
Girl groups just wanna have fun. The polka-dotted pop of The Pipettes debut album offers the pleasures of a good time with the promise of more to come. The three lasses know their way around a dance floor and the boys next door. The trios' songs are full of melodic hooks, sweet doo wop harmonies, and catchy lyrics delivered with gum-snapping assurance and a sassy attitude. These three women might evoke the past glories of the Shangri-Las and Ronnettes, but The Pipettes' musical concerns belong to the 21st century. They don't cry for no one and are nobody's baby. They don't stay at home and wait for the phone to ring. They are out there mixing it up and having a ball. The Pipettes humorously boast of their talents, passions, and insecurities in an infectious manner that makes you want to be their best friend if you can't be their boyfriend. Steve Horowitz

#4 NECA's A NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET (2010)
2010's re-imagining of A Nightmare on Elm Street may have set Freddy Krueger's world ablaze, but it didn't exactly set the box office on fire. Regardless, the action figures and replica glove released by NECA were smokin' hot, with fans eager to get their hands on a piece of the new Dream Stalker. Of course it didn't hurt that fan-favorite actor Jackie Earle Haley was now donning the red and green striped sweater. Collectors had a choice of two Haley figures: pre-transformation "Fred Krueger" and a full-blown, extra crispy "Freddy Krueger". The coolest Elm Street item released was the REAL bladed glove prop replica. With its thick deadly knives and skeletal frame, the glove was an excellent homage to the orginal design all the while adding something fresh and new. Affordably priced at under $60, this well-crafted metal and leather contraption was to many Freddy fanatics... a dream come true.
What's cooler than a Stormtrooper? A ZOMBIE Stormtrooper! Merging two of our favorite genres - the slick futuristic sci-fi of Star Wars and the sick decaying world of the undead - Gentle Giant's Death Trooper Bust was a homerun, right out of Geek Field. Whether you chose the standard version with bonus "Death Troopers" novel by Joe Schreiber or the deluxe edition with nifty swap-out parts, the Death Trooper bust was a horror collectible to die for. Long live the Empire!
Zombie fans have plenty to feast their eyes on this year thanks to Sideshow's on-going original property The Dead, the most impressive of which was The Dead: Undying Carcass Premium Format Figure. Standing over 16" tall, this polystone piece of undead art features more torn flesh and exposed bone than a slaughter house. Thanks to a removable blood-stained hospital gown and an exclusive head with a flesh-hungry expression, this is one statue that features more than one static display option. For high-end horror collectors looking for a centerpiece to their zombie collection, look no further...
#1 NECA's THE EXORCIST
When it comes to horror, what can be scarier than a demonically-possessed teenage girl with glowing yellow eyes and the ability to turn her head in a complete 360 degree turn? The Exorcist has firmly held the #1 spot for scariest horror film in history and in 2010 NECA took the most memorable scene from the film and converted it into a timeless collectible.
NECA did not hold back on the details with this iconic piece and have created a replica of Regans bed with covered bedposts and all. Be warned, the The Excorcist Possessed Regan Box Set is not for the faint of heart and may creep the living begeezus out of people with its rotating head and movie-themed sound bite. This collectible diorama is hands- down the best horror based collectible of 2010 and an absolute must buy for fans of the film.

Bicyclist critically injured in hit-and-run crash
PORTLAND, Ore. - Police are asking for the public's help with information about a hit-and-run crash that critically injured a bicyclist in North Portland Saturday night.
Mike Cooley, 59, was riding north on North Interstate Avenue just north of Greeley Avenue when he was hit by a pickup truck at 11:30 p.m., police said. Cooley is in critical condition at a Portland hospital.
Cooley's wife, Lori Cooley, said her husband is unconscious and on a ventilator. She said he's not moving his legs and she fears he may be paralyzed, but it could have been much worse if her husband wasn't so focused on safety.
"I want to say how important it was that he wore his helmet," she said. "He had his helmet on and that helmet took a beating and got trashed, and that would have been his head if he hadn't had that helmet on.
"It is really a blessing to know that he's in there and that he doesn't have so much brain damage that he doesn't know me and he doesn't know what he's doing," she said.
A witness said the pickup truck was a white Ford model, possibly from the late 1990s. The witness told police that the driver was driving erratically before the crash.
Anyone with information about the crash is asked to call Officer Chris Johnson at 503-823-2213.
A fund for medical bills has been set up at any U.S. Bank in the name of Mike Cooley.
Lori Cooley said she hopes the person responsible will come forward.
"I believe in mankind and I believe they would not hit somebody and leave them for dead. We really need him to do the right thing. Man up and come forward and let us know."
Correction: An earlier version of this story stated the Ford pickup was a late 1970s model. It is suspected to be a late 1990s model.

Mimolette 24 months old
This cheese is also known under the name of Boule de Lille. The reason being is that the cheeses were originally matured in cellars situated in the town of Lille. The method of production of the Mimolette is the same as the Dutch cheese Edam. Some say the cheese originated in Holland, others claim it was always produced in France. The truth probably lies in the fact that in the 17th century Colbert forbade the importation of foreign cheeses. The people in Northern France started producing their own. It was only in 1935 under a treaty between France and Holland that the Mimolette was officially recognized. The pate is semi-hard, pressed and has a colour of orange due to the natural Rocou colouring. The Mimolette is at its best after 18 months of maturing: the pate becomes hard and crumbly with a salty, perfumed taste. An excellent cheese for the kitchen, on a savoury appetizer, in salads either grated or in cubes.

Rangers likely to miss former teammates
BALTIMORE -- Don't expect to see former Rangers pitchers Scott Feldman and C.J. Wilson on the mound during the upcoming homestand against the Astros and the Rangers. Neither is expected to pitch against their former teams.
Feldman is scheduled to pitch against the Angels on Saturday. The way the Astros rotation is set up, the Rangers will likely see Brad Peacock, Brett Oberholtzer and Dallas Keuchel in a three-game series that starts on Monday in Arlington.
Wilson is scheduled to pitch Friday against the Astros and again on Wednesday against the Blue Jays, the day before the Angels begin their four-game series against the Rangers. The Angels play the Astros and Blue Jays in Anaheim so it's unlikely that the Angels rotation will be altered by weather. Wilson has yet to face the Rangers this season.
The Rangers are scheduled to face Mets right-hander Bartolo Colon on Saturday at Citi Field although heavy rain is expected on the Atlantic Seaboard both Thursday and Friday. Colon is 20-8 with a 3.47 ERA in 33 career starts against the Rangers. That's the most victories ever by an opponent against the Rangers.

Newly reformed Waddon Wanderers are celebrating a storming first season in the Surrey Youth League.
The 9s and U10s both won their respective divisions in record time and the club also became the first youth club to achieve the FA Charter Standard in its ffirst year of existence.
Club secretary Mick Burgess originally started Waddon Wanderers in the 1980s when he became the youngest manager to win the league.
After a lay off to become a dad, Mick restarted the club after 20 years in spring 2010.
His youngest son Ollie Burgess bagged 19 goals for the U10s this season, just one behind top scorer Kyron Rose-Green.
Mick said: "We have a fantastic group of boys at the club. They are tremendous fun to work with, a joy to coach and fully deserve their success.
"It is a great achievement to win the league, at two different age groups and in record time."
Wanderers expect to jump two leagues into Division One next season and plan to unveil new U8 and U9 teams for the coming season.

Boston Red Sox manager Bobby Valentine, who shouldn't have that title much longer, continued to blast his fellow uniformed Red Sox on his weekly WEEI radio spot Wednesday.
This time he focused on his coaching staff, saying his coaches have not been loyal to him and have undermined his authority.
Asked by host Glenn Ordway if he believed his staff was loyal to him, Valentine said, "No." Asked why he felt that way, Valentine responded, "You asked me what I feel. That's what I feel."
Valentine then was asked if he thought the staff undermined him, and he said, "Yes." Asked why, Valentine said, "Just what I feel."
Finally, Valentine was asked if he would want different coaches if he returned next season. He said, "Some, yeah."
One of the knocks on the Valentine experiment is that the Red Sox did not allow him to pick all of his own coaches. But Valentine stopped short—for now—of blaming the front office, noting that he interviewed the new hires and had a say in who was selected. He also said it was his job to "work through it" and "make it all functional."
Functional was something the Red Sox certainly were not this season. There was clubhouse turmoil from the start, and Valentine was continually part of the problems—either directly or indirectly.
Nothing about the Valentine hire has gone right for the Red Sox, and their managerial search should start Thursday—the day after their abysmal regular season ends. Valentine just keeps assuring everyone that this would be the right move.
