First Promo For Cherry Jones In WHEN WE WERE YOUNG AND UNAFRAID
A preliminary sneak peek at the cast of the upcoming Off-Broadway drama WHEN WE WERE YOUNG AND UNAFRAID starring acclaimed stage and screen star Cherry Jones is now available to view.
The official description of WHEN WE WERE YOUNG AND UNAFRAID is as follows: "Emmy® and two-time Tony® Winner Cherry Jones (Doubt, "24″) returns to MTC for Sarah Treem's ("House of Cards," "In Treatment") powerful new play that takes us inside an underground women's shelter in the early 1970s...before Roe v. Wade, before the Violence Against Women Act, before women had places to turn in times of distress. Agnes (Cherry Jones) has turned her quiet bed and breakfast into one of the few spots where a woman on the run can seek refuge. But to Agnes' dismay, her latest young runaway Mary Anne is having a profound influence on her teenage daughter Penny, forcing each girl to question her destiny. And as the drums of the feminist revolution grow louder, Agnes is forced to confront her own presumptions about the people she's been trying to help. Deeply moving and beautifully rendered, WHEN WE WERE YOUNG AND UNAFRAID explores the passion of youth, the wisdom of age, and the people who awaken us to new possibilities."
More information on WHEN WE WERE YOUNG AND UNAFRAID is available at the official site here.

Sea turtle No. 1301 didn't even wave goodbye.
It was helped to the back of a patrol boat owned by the Port of Long Beach by a few hands, then slipped into the Pacific Ocean with a tiny splash, paddling a bit just below the surface in the swelling ocean five miles off the coast of Seal Beach.
It quickly disappeared, last seen swimming in a southeast direction to warmer water.
"I'm relieved it's done," said Lance Adams, the veterinarian from the Aquarium of the Pacific who had the job of nursing back to health the sea creature that's listed on the endangered species list.
Adams will be logging onto his computer today to see where the sea turtle is headed based on satellite coordinates sent via a transmitter glued to the top of its shell. It'll be a month before the transmitter falls off on its own, he said.
The olive ridley sea turtle – which was dubbed "No. 1301" to signify the creature becoming the first sea turtle of the year to get nursed back to health by the Aquarium of the Pacific – washed up on the Venice Beach shoreline and was found underweight in early January.
"Not many get trapped up here," Adams said of the coastal Los Angeles discovery.
When found in January, the turtle weighed 63 pounds, down from its normal weight of 100, and had buoyancy problems.
Her body temperature was a chilly 42 degrees, down about 30 degrees from the normal 70 degrees when swimming in the waters off the central shoreline of Mexico, considered the indigenous home for this species.
In sea turtle parlance, the olive ridley was "cold-stunned" by drifting off course from its warmer habitat to the south, Adams said.
The sea turtle also suffered from "positive buoyancy," a condition in which the carnivore can't dive for food, such as lobster and crab.
Shortly after it came to the aquarium, No. 1301 got a medical check-up that included blood work, X-rays and other tests.
It was injected with antibiotics for a month, then given X-rays to see if it had ingested a plastic bottle or had a fish hook lodged in her throat or stomach. Nothing showed up. Neither were there external wounds to her eyes, ears or nose, Adams said.
Over the past eight months, Adams said the sea turtle was nursed back to health in a six-foot-deep tank of water, which he slowly warmed up to about 60 degrees after a few days in order to keep it from dying of shock.
The prognosis for the turtle was that it had possible "lung lesion issues" that had led to its buoyancy, underweight and hypothermic problems.
Its older age also may have contributed, Adams said.
The aquarium was selected by the National Marine Fisheries Service – a branch of the U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, or NOAA – to provide veterinary care and housing for the sick olive ridley, said Christina Fahy, NOAA's sea turtle recovery coordinator in Long Beach.
"I think this turtle is much better in the wild than in a tank," Fahy said. "I do have some concerns about her adapting to humans.
"It's better for her to forage for her own food."
By the looks of the ocean on a hot, sunny Thursday, that shouldn't be a problem. Pods of dolphins were visible off the coast, as were California brown pelicans diving for fish.
From a nearby Harbor Breeze-owned boat of onlookers, CEO Dan Salas commented: "It's a great day for sea turtles."

Merlin Season 5 Episode 2, Arthur's Bane (2) , Merlin S03e02, Merlin S03e02 stream, Merlin S03e02 Online,Watch Merlin S03e02 Arthur's Bane (2) Streaming,Merlin 3×2, Watch Merlin Season 3 Episode 2 streaming online
Merlin Season 5 Episode 2 Three years have passed, the Round Table is fully established and peace has descended upon the kingdom of Camelot under the rule of Arthur and Guinevere. Peace cannot reign eternal however, as a darkness may be approaching.
Merlin Season 5 Episode 2 A retinue of knights haven't returned from their mission to Ismere, a frozen tundra in the north of Albion. It wouldn't be so bad, except that the dashing Sir Gwaine and improbably garbed and ridiculously tall Sir Percival are amongst the missing. It's therefore up to Arthur to rescue his knights from the clutches of the Saxons and whatever other perils they may have encountered.
Merlin Season 5 Episode 2 Of course, there's only one real peril in Merlin and, before we know what's happening, Morgana is revealed as the true reason for the disappearances. She seeks the key to knowledge and, thankfully, has stumbled across it, with the assistance of Ruadan (Liam Cunningham). The knights, she has decided, should be put to work in the mines, giving us many scenes of Gwaine and Percival stripped to the waist.
Merlin Season 5 Episode 2 Viewers won't have to put up with such displays of unbridled masculinity for long, as Arthur, accompanied by Merlin and the knights, set out to defeat Morgana once more and rescue their lost friends.However, something dangerous is afoot, old enemies return, new allies are revealed and Arthur is at the centre of a darkness that may consume Camelot.
Merlin Season 5 Episode 2 Julian Jones' script bristles with promise and casts its shadow over our characters, giving us a wonderful blend of action, danger and humour. Obviously, given he's a series creator, he's comfortable with the characters and knows the direction of the series, providing us with a screenplay heavy with possibilities for the future.
Merlin Season 5 Episode 2 All the key players have returned, with Bradley James and Colin Morgan comfortably settled in their roles of Arthur and Merlin. They don't look much older, but there's a certain weariness to Merlin, whilst Arthur looks more regal than in previous seasons. Together, however, they do look like young friends who are having far too much fun, interspersed with telling moments of revelation as they share their responsibilities – will Arthur ever discover the truth?
Merlin Season 5 Episode 2 With the return of Lindsay Duncan as Queen Annis and Katie McGrath's Morgana, strong women are given a prominent role in this episode. Even new servant girl, Cefa, is a strong (if somewhat two-dimensional) character whose only failing is her faith. In the last few minutes of Arthur's Bane (Part 1), we discover the strength of Guinevere as she dispenses justice; clearly, she's neither a trophy wife nor a retiring wallflower.
Merlin Season 5 Episode 2 John Hurt makes his cameo as the dragon count, but there is a sense that the character has served its purpose. Once again, Merlin receives a warning from someone about to die and it's for the dragon to fill in the missing information – there's a feeling that the dragon is simply there to fulfil an episodic obligation. By a similar thread, Richard Wilson's Gaius is sadly reduced to standing by and looking concerned. Let's hope both are given much more to do, especially as the CGI for the dragon continues to look rather impressive.
Merlin Season 5 Episode 2 Talking of limited screen time, it's good to see that the knights are getting more play. Sure, Gwaine and Percival spend much of their time here captured and put to work, but their interaction is interesting and Eoin Macklin and Tom Hopper manage to make a meal of their lines, with Gwaine appearing bold and adventurous even in his captive state.

A COUPLE have been ordered to repay more than £5,000 in housing benefits following a conviction for a breach of licensing laws.
Blackburn with Darwen Council has reclaimed the money through a Rent Repayment Order (RRO) under new selective licensing laws.
Michelle and Anthony Ormerod had control of properties in Nancy Street and London Terrace in Darwen, which were required to be licensed under part three of the Housing Act 2004.
They were prosecuted under a Northern Residential Property First-Tier Tribunal earlier this year, meaning the council could apply for the RRO.
The order requires repayment of any housing benefit for the 12 months preceding the date of conviction. The pair had to pay £1,577.93 for Nancy Street and £3,828.81 for the property in London Terrace.
Selective licensing laws were introduced in a bid to thwart rogue landlords renting out overcrowded and potentially dangerous homes. In practice it means landlords must adhere to strict rules and their homes are inspected.
Coun Arshid Mahmood, executive member for housing, said: "It is right that those who break the law and fail to hold the correct licensing are fined, and where appropriate made to repay housing benefits under a Rent Repayment Order during any period when an offence has been committed.
"It is important that we send a message to those who are thinking of flouting the law in a similar way that it will not be tolerated, and we will take similar actions whenever possible, prosecuting those who do so."

Crawford, Haren set to skip trip to Australia
Maholm slated to serve as Dodgers' extra starter against Diamondbacks
GLENDALE, Ariz. -- Although nothing is set in stone, the Dodgers' travel roster for their season-opening series in Australia got a bit clearer on Saturday as manager Don Mattingly laid out part of the club's tentative plan.
Barring injury or any other last minute extenuating circumstances, outfielder Carl Crawford and pitcher Dan Haren will not make the trip while Paul Maholm will serve as the club's extra starter, traveling as an emergency Plan B if anything should happen to scheduled starters Clayton Kershaw or Hyun-Jin Ryu.
Crawford is expecting the birth of his child any day and will be on paternity leave.
"The way I understand it, Carl's not going," Mattingly said.
As for Haren, he'll join Zack Greinke and another to be determined player as one of three Dodgers exempt from the Australia games but able to appear in the club's North American opener on March 30 in San Diego.
"As of right now, Haren won't be on the plane," Mattingly said. "Danny knows that. He also knows that anything could happen in the next two days."
In place of Crawford in left field, Mattingly said matchups will determine who will get the nod both days. So with D-backs left-hander Patrick Corbin slated to start the opener, the right-handed hitting Scott Van Slyke is likely to be penciled in for Game 1.
Mattingly also said the Dodgers will take three catchers to Australia: A.J. Ellis, Tim Federowicz and presumably, Drew Butera.

MALVERN slumped to the bottom of Worcestershire League Division Two after being bowled out for just 90 in a 113-run defeat at Lye.
Asked to field first, Malvern turned to Jez Lee to open the bowling for the first time this year and he made immediate inroads, removing Imran Riaz (2) in the third over.
Lee bowled 12 overs for just 19 runs and bagged two wickets in his first spell.
After a tight start, supported ably by David Cox and Neil Thompson, Malvern took regular Lye wickets with only Sakib Ali (40) and the tail hitting double figures before they were bowled out in the last over for 203.
Lee was the stand-out bowler with 5-35 from 16.4 overs.
Malvern openers Andy Cullen and Anthony Arnold started solidly against tight bowling. Cullen (11) departed after a hostile Adam Meacham delivery clipped his glove and flew to first slip.
But a familiar Malvern collapse ensued as Lye turned to veteran spinner Mohammed Ishtiaq and Iqbal.
Both had the Malvern batsmen at sixes and sevens with the ball turning square on a dry wicket and Ishtiaq finished with 4-8 from five overs.
Only Cox and Will Moriarty managed to survive for any great length of time, scoring 17 and 19 respectively.
The second half of the season starts tomorrow (1pm) with a visit to Regency Road by fifth-from-bottom Cookley, who narrowly defeated Malvern in the opening game.
Malvern seconds won by 113 runs in Division Two after skittling their visitors for 69.
Ashley Jones scored 51 and then took 4-13 with Andrew Croft claiming 4-15.

A few days ago Jack Tramiel past away. For most people it's the his product the Commodore 64 that has them teary eyed in rememberance. For me however it is the Atari ST. When it came out the 520ST not only competed with the Mac it bested it on many fronts and it cost much less. I remember the first time seeing the Atari monochrome screen. People rave about the clearness of the new iPad 3's screen and like today's raves for the iPad that Atari screen was something to behold. It was so sharp and clear for the time. In addition the ST had something no other main computer system had: MIDI ports. I used DR T.'s KCS (Keyboard Controlled Sequencer) and later Cubase on a 1040ST. By the way theses were also in my own opinion beautifuly designed machines. Just look at that image above. Like my Apple products today I really loved that machine. It tempted me to create. I did also own an Amiga and loved it as well.
"In 1953, while working as a taxi driver, Tramiel bought a shop in the Bronx to repair office machinery, securing a $25,000 loan for the business from a U.S. Army entitlement. He named it Commodore Portable Typewriter." – Wikipedia

Chris Lau, KAPITALL Contributor: Solar energy investing was the sector that found great appeal – until it did not. Between 2007 and 2008, prices for solar panel materials were rising. When the infamous financial crisis hit by late 2008, many solar energy company stocks plunged. A massive financial stimulus by 2009 helped keep speculative companies in play, but by 2011, many countries canceled subsidies and fees in tariffs. In the United States, Solyndra went bankrupt and the Department of Energy was pressured to become stricter with the amount of loans they issued to clean energy companies. [More Analysis by Chris Lau: Google Reader Shutdown Creates Opportunities for These 3 Companies] The solar energy sector resumed its collapsed, and by 2012, any investor holding solar energy stocks would have lost money. Two major issues plague the sector: excess supply and weak demand. China hoped to have a sustainable solar energy market, but there are simply too many firms operating at a loss and producing too much solar products. Trade War in 2012 Major import tariffs on Chinese solar products were preceded by smaller import duties up to 4.73% earlier in 2012. Then in May, the U.S. Department of Commerce ruled in favor of placing punitive tariffs on Chinese solar imports, ranging from 31-250%, depending on the firm. Technological Advances Different materials have been developed to increase efficiency, one of which is the high-end mono crystalline silicon (molicon) at 22% efficiency. It hasn't captured much market share though, due to the high costs of production. The less expensive multi crystalline silicon (polysilicon) maintains the majority of the market share. More Bankruptcy Needed Unfortunately, the industry needs more bankruptcies of weak unprofitable firms, if solar companies want a future. China allowed Suntech to declare a bankruptcy in March 2013. It was previously thought that China would do whatever was necessary to allow weak firms to continue operating. Suntech missed a payment of $541 million in convertible bonds in mid-March, 2013. The company had $2 billion in debt that will be restructured through bankruptcy proceedings. Other Chinese Solar Stocks include: [Read descriptions for all companies mentioned] 1. ReneSola Ltd.

Patients who are diagnosed with an isolated tear of the anterior cruciate ligament and scheduled for arthroscopic reconstruction using bone-patellar tendon-bone autograft will be recruited to participate.
All subjects will be invited to participate in 2 weeks (2 supervised sessions per week) prior to their surgery. Each session will include supervised therapeutic exercises. Subjects will be randomly assigned to receive continuous transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) during each session or knee joint cryotherapy prior to each exercise session. The investigators will measure quadriceps function before and after this 2-week intervention (both sessions occur prior to reconstruction surgery). This study will also have a true control group that will not receive either exercise of modality intervention. The investigators will collect subjective and objective outcomes data at regularly scheduled post-operative visits.

One Year Later, Compliance 'Good' on Seagrass Regulation
ROCKPORT, Texas — A year after the Texas Parks and Wildlife Commission made it illegal to uproot seagrasses with a submerged propeller within the boundaries of the Redfish Bay State Scientific Area, local game wardens are calling compliance with the regulation "good."
The regulation — which went into effect May 1, 2006 — marked the first time the TPW Commission used its proclamation power to protect coastal habitat and require changes in boater behavior in the popular fishing destination near Rockport and Aransas Pass.
"Compliance has been fairly good. We've given about 50 verbal warnings and eight written warnings," said Maj. Larry Young, TPWD's regional law enforcement director for the lower coast. "We're still going to do our best to educate people first, especially the ones who are new to that area."
Violation of the regulation is a Class C misdemeanor punishable with a fine of up to $500.
Young said that the eight game wardens who routinely patrol the area have noticed that fewer boaters are accessing the flats in Redfish Bay.
"I think we still have some folks who are confused about what they can and cannot do out there," said TPWD Ecosystem Leader Karen Meador. "Anyone in any type of vessel can run anywhere within the scientific area; just don't uproot seagrasses or dig a prop scar."
Meador, the lead fisheries biologist for the Aransas Bay System, said her staff — along with local game wardens — have been busy over the past year educating the boating public about the new regulation and about the importance of seagrass conservation.
"We have had nearly 10,000 hits on our Web site and placed more than three dozen articles in local, statewide and national publications," she said. "We've distributed more than 30,000 brochures and made nearly four dozen presentations to civic and sportfishing organizations. My staff and I have personally talked about this regulation and the importance of seagrasses face-to-face with 3,645 boaters and anglers. It's been a huge effort this past year."
The education and outreach push followed a recommendation from the TPW Commission — and multiple requests from user groups and boaters during last year's public hearing process — to make sure the word got out about the regulation.
Redfish Bay, a shallow, highly productive body of water straddling the Aransas Bay and Corpus Christi Bay systems in the Coastal Bend, boasts the state's northernmost extensive stands of seagrasses. Anglers' success here has led to a surge in the area's popularity, and the fragile seagrass meadows — which cover about a third of the 32,000-acre portion of the bay that has been designated a state scientific area — are showing the effects.
"This area is number one for guided fishing trips, and receives the second highest pressure along the Texas coast for private boat anglers," said TPWD Coastal Fisheries Division biologist Faye Grubbs. "Visitors outnumber locals two to one."
In a study done in 2001, areas in the Estes Flats section of the bay showed evidence of extensive propeller scarring. These scars create trenches that destroy the seagrass, fragment habitat, channel tidal movement and sometimes take years to recover.
That can hurt the productive red drum and spotted seatrout fishery that draws so many anglers to the area.
"A seagrass meadow supplies everything that many marine organisms need. It provides food for grazing animals at the base of the food chain, surfaces to cling on for small crawling critters, shelter and hiding places for small invertebrates and fish, and ambush points for the larger predators and game fish," said Dennis Pridgen, another Coastal Fisheries Division biologist. "For them it's the nursery, the roof over their heads and the grocery store all rolled into one."
In a presentation to TPW commissioners May 24, TPWD Coastal Fisheries Division Regional Director Ed Hegen noted that many factors — some natural and some caused by humans — affect the health of seagrasses. These include storms and algal blooms (natural) and dredging, excessive nutrients in runoff, shoreline development and recreational boating (human induced).
"We're concerned about all of the factors that affect the health of our coastal ecosystems, and in particular seagrasses," Hegen said. "Things like nutrient loading, shoreline development and sedimentation caused by dredging require a long-term approach and cooperation between numerous local, state and federal government entities as well as the private sector. Our commissioners addressed one factor we could immediately affect."
Boundary markers and boat ramp signs explaining the regulation went up early last year, as did markers for a first preferred-access lane, or PAL, in the popular Estes Flats area. This spring Coastal Fisheries staff surveyed and installed a second PAL in the Terminal Flats area near Hog Island.
"What we're trying to do is really get boaters to think about what they're doing out in the water," Grubbs said. "The responsibility is on the boater to know the area he's fishing in, and also to protect and preserve the habitat that supports the fish that he's fishing for."
A survey of boaters who use the area was recently completed, and will be used as a baseline to determine how attitudes about seagrass and boating behavior in the RBSSA change over time. Biologists also acquired high resolution aerial imagery this spring which will be used to evaluate the current extent of propeller scarring. Potentially this imagery could be compared to imagery taken in the future to detect changes in scarring.
A separate study involves in situ scar counts along transects in RBSSA to determine the extent of propeller scarring. Overall, results from each of these assessment tools will be used to determine the effectiveness of the regulation. Biologists will continue to monitor the situation over the next several years. The regulation will be reviewed by the TPW Commission in 2010.

I was looking through curricula of "Theravadin" Universities and Buddhist Studies courses, e.g.:
http://ibc.ac.th/en/files/Recommended%2 ... tudies.pdf
http://www.myanmar.gov.mm/Perspective/p ... ud5-98.htm
To my opinion there are more things useful for a Theravada practitioner that could be studied in such Universities.
I would like to ask you - what should be taught in your "ideal" Theravadin University?
As for me, apart from Pali and canon study, these should be:
Buddha's teaching as preserved in non-Theravada schools. Knowledge of Classical Chinese, Sanskrit and Prakrits is needed to study Buddha's words as preserved in canons of other Early Buddhist schools. Such study may result in better understanding of delicate aspects of Buddha's Dhamma.
Anatomy and medicine basics - for better understanding of how human body functions, what changes in it with practice and how to maintain oneself healthy. Asubha-sannya practice may also benefit
Neuroscience and Psychology - for better understanding of processes happening in mind and mutual enrichment with modern science.
Psychotherapy - as taught in various schools, including practice of it. I read about a western monk who disrobed after 10 years of monkhood. The reason of his disrobing was that he underwent a psychological seminar where he "progressed more than during all years of his Buddhist practice". So it's better to study psychotherapy beforehands to get what it may give and to recognize it's limitations Jack Kornfield says that "meditation doesn't do it all for most practitioners", and psychotherapy may be useful for managing troubles of daily life. My humble opinion somewhat differs: knowledge of psychotherapy helps to tune Buddhist practice in the way that prevents psychological problems from appearing and also sometimes helps to understand principles of practice. Monks and teachers-to-be may also learn something for counseling their students.
Context of Buddha's Dhamma. Buddha has learned arupa jhanas from [proto-]Samkhya teachers and taught to people of Vedic and samana background. Jain and original Patanjali's Yoga systems of practice seem to be very similar to Buddhism, but something must be wrong in them! So, from studying astika (Vedic, Hindu) and nastika (Jain, Ajivika, Charvaka) texts and systems of practice one may benefit in two ways: first, more precise understanding from knowing background of teaching (what this words meant to those who were addressed) and second, more precise understanding from recognizing differences of Buddhism from resembling but not similar teachings. For studying such materials one needs to develop possession of Indo-Arian languages up to some level.
Cultural and Social Anthropology, Systems of Ethics and related subjects. For understanding social context of religion.
Languages of Theravadin countries. Burmese and Thai are most requested, less needed are Lao, Sinhala, Mon, Khmer. Myanmar particularly seems to be land of well-developed practitioners unknown yet in the West just because they don't have "western" students, and there is no one to translate their teachings in English. Limiting oneself only to teachings available in English or other European languages seems to be quite unwise.
Other systems of spiritual development. Knowledge of practice of other Buddhist schools, Indian schools, Hesychasm, Sufi tradition, Chinese traditions, Greek Philosophy etc. helps better understanding principles of practice.
More meditation practice. Meditation practice as taught by different teachers. In University context, one compulsory yearly at-least-one-month-long retreat at a monastery or center of student's choice would be fine.
What else?

Sports Com Students 'Set the Pace" with NASCAR
September 15, 2011
By Abby Rhode
On the Hilltop, the name Alan Fuehring is commonly followed by, "the kid who loves NASCAR." "Since I've been at Bradley, everyone I meet learns that I'm a huge fan and have been my whole life," said Fuehring. "For me, the sport fulfills every sense " the smell of tire rubber, the sounds of passionate fans, and there's no greater feeling than when your driver performs well."
So when Fuehring '12 and his fellow sports communication majors were invited to assist a NASCAR team during this weekend's Sprint Cup event at Chicagoland Speedway in Joliet, everyone who knows Alan knew he'd be first in line. A diehard Jeff Gordon fan, Fuehring will relax his allegiance this weekend to support No. 37 Bradley University Ford Fusion driver Josh Wise in the GEICO 400 -it's a concession Fuehring's happy to make for a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity
Fuehring, along with Brent Drevalas '15, Katherine Casey '13, James DeSilva '15, Hollie Huntley '14, Zach Keesee '12, Zachary Larson '14 and Julie Piatek '13 will bring to the North Carolina-based Max Q Motorsports team skills developed in Bradley's nationally recognized sports communication program. In turn, the students will have an exclusive opportunity to gain footing inside one of America's most loved sports industries
"We welcome Bradley University students to Chicagoland to experience first-hand the excitement of NASCAR Sprint Cup racing and to learn more about career opportunities in our sport," said Larry Gunselman, the team's owner. Gunselman donated sponsorship rights to Bradley in recognition of the University's growing sports communication program
The No. 37 car will be wrapped in the University's markings and the BU Braves logo during the Sprint Cup event. Ahead of the weekend race, the entire Bradley community will have the opportunity to see the No. 37 show car, an authentic race car, on campus. The car will be displayed on Olin Quad Thursday from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Sports communication students will be on hand to answer questions about the car and upcoming race.
In choosing Bradley students for this unique partnership, Max Q Motorsports considered the global nature of the University's sports communication program, which includes training in journalism, advertising, promotion and publicity, production and performance, and media relations. The students are already primed to tackle everything from pre-event publicity to public relations and production and Fuehring's familiarity with the sport has already proven an asset to the team.
"I'm writing biographies of the driver, the owner, the crew chief and some of the mechanics, and I'm looking forward to answering questions about the car on campus," Fuehring said.
Before heading to the track for the weekend, the students will write a press release to promote the race and Fuehring's team biographies will be posted on the Max Q Motorsports website. On Saturday, they'll lead tours of the pit and garage and take photos to post online. On Sunday, race day, the group will watch the GEICO 400 from pit road.
ESPN, ESPN2 and Speed channel will carry live television coverage of the GEICO 400 practice, qualifying and race day

I'm trying to make listings for ebay which keep telling me I cannot use javascript. So I have found some stores that are using it. I have got code from inspecting the element and copy and pasted it into a listing and am getting this code:
Your listing cannot contain javascript (".cookie", "cookie(", "replace(", IFRAME, META, or includes), cookies or base href.
What is the deal with this? How are some people using javascript and is there a work around, does anybody know or can see the solution?
Don't use JavaScript on ebay - it's that simple. Sure, there might be a few work-arounds, but this website is not the place to discuss such nefarious things.
why? I don't understand? and the repartable designers seem to be using it, I just don't get it
Ebay says that this is not allowed.
If any of those mistakenly end up in your listing, that would result in the problem.
I'm not attempting to breach anything I trying to understand whats going on and why / how sellers affiliated with them are using it. styles can be used inline, is this the case here too? if not what's the practices and are there any resourses to help designing for ebay?
I'm stuck trying to make a design for ebay any help wold be appreciated
A good starting point would seem to be from http://developer.ebay.com/common/api/

The market is rallying, presumably on a fiscal cliff resolution, but anticipation of more debt monetization by the U.S. Federal Reserve is probably an equal driver. I start to worry when a rally is not underpinned by the most important factor of all: earnings. A month has passed since we last checked the S&P 500 earnings estimate trend, so let's check in on it now. The revision trend is one of the most powerful forces moving stock prices, and when the estimate trend diverges from the price trend, trouble can often ensue. In mid-November, we noted that a gap that had formed in early September was closing -- the 2013 estimate was flat, so the rally reversed, especially after the election.
However , that gap closure is reversing now. The rally should be sustainable if estimates were starting to be revised up, which would mean that the earnings outlook for the market was getting better on the margin, justifying higher prices. Yet estimates are in fact being revised downward, indicating that analysts are getting marginally less optimistic about prospects for the coming year. If analysts are pessimistic, why is the market be rallying?
Clearly, the estimate and price trends can diverge, often for legitimate reasons. However, the divergences are rarely sustainable, so you should be very careful playing this rally. If estimates start trending up, let it ride. But if estimates continue to be cut, keep an eye on the door and a finger on the sell button.

A proposed referendum to preserve 540acres of open space on Fort Ord would include much of the planned Monterey Downs development.
The initiative would not affect land currently identified for the proposed veterans cemetery, which includes the cemetery site, a habitat preservation area and the "endowment parcel," whose sale for development would fund maintenance of the cemetery.
Members of Ford Ord Access Alliance intend to file the initiative with the Monterey County Elections Department Tuesday and begin collecting signatures Wednesday with the hopes of placing it on the November ballot.
Spokesman Jason Campbell said the group needs the endorsements of 10percent of the county's registered voters, about 16,700, but is shooting for 20,000 signatures. It has 180 days to qualify the measure for the ballot.
"On the Whispering Oaks referendum, we had 18,000 signatures in 20 days," Campbell said, referring to the successful effort to staunch plans for a business park and transit center on oak woodlands at Intergarrison Road and Eighth Street. "We can do it."
Campbell, who lost a 2012 bid for Seaside City Council by 24 votes, said the purpose of the initiative is to protect established recreational access points, preserve land originally designated for open space in the Fort Ord Base Reuse Plan and establish the "BLM to Beach" corridor on Fort Ord.
Whispering Oaks is one of four areas targeted by the proposed referendum. Also included are 50acres that the base reuse plan referred to as the Seaside Community Park south of the Department of Defense building at Gigling Road and Seventh Avenue; 70acres identified as the Marina Community Park on Intergarrison Road; and about 370acres of the "Eucalyptus Road Planning Area" near Gigling and Eighth.
With the exception of the endowment parcel, the latter area entails all of the acreage planned for development in the proposed Monterey Downs Project, including housing, a thoroughbred race track, sports arena, two hotels and a "Country Walk" retail area.
With the exception of the Seaside Community Park, all of the identified land lies in unincorporated Monterey County.
Neither County Counsel Charles McKee nor Monterey Downs developers Beth Palmer and Brian Boudreau could be reached Monday.
Fort Ord Reuse Authority Counsel Jon Giffen said he had not yet seen the initiative or thoroughly researched its potential impact on FORA. Giffen said FORA does not have land-use authority and questioned whether it could be bound by county initiative.
Campbell said "legal minds" have studied FORA's enabling legislation and concluded that FORA is bound by countywide initiative under special district law.
The Fort Ord Reuse Authority Act establishes "the authority is a district for purposes of initiative and referendum under (the California Elections Code) and the voters of the authority are the voters of Monterey County."
The initiative would maintain or modify the base reuse plan to preserve the identified areas in open space. While FORA does not have land-use authority, any development on Fort Ord lands requires a finding by the FORA board that the land use is consistent with the base reuse plan.

Swansea want full-time De Guzman deal
Swansea manager Michael Laudrup hopes a deal can soon be agreed to bring midfielder Jonathan de Guzman to the Liberty Stadium on a permanent basis.
De Guzman, 25, has starred for the Welsh club since arriving from Villarreal on loan in the summer, and scored two goals as they lifted the Capital One Cup with victory over Bradford at Wembley last month.
Laudrup said he was keen to make the Netherlands international's switch full-time but added: "It's always difficult to say what's going to happen.
"A lot of clubs are thinking about the end of the season... they have a lot of important things to think about.
"Jonathan is playing very well, and he's scoring goals. But he is happy here and I know he wants to stay."
Swansea take on West Brom at the Hawthorns this weekend, with both teams having enjoyed superb Premier League seasons.
With both in the top ten of the table on 40 points, Laudrup said he was looking forward to a clash "between two of the surprise packages of the season".
He said: "Both teams are seven points clear of tenth place, and that is really positive.
"We always like to have the ball, but they are very good on the counter attack so we have to be careful. But we have to go there and play the way we always do and look to get a positive result."

WASHINGTON - An Oklahoma company is recalling 15,328 pounds of frozen, fully cooked country fried steak products because they may contain foreign materials, such as pieces of plastic.
The U.S. Department of Agriculture's Food Safety and Inspection Service made the announcement Friday.
The firm said it received complaints from two customers who each received an oral injury upon eating one of its products. The problem was a result of a piece of a plastic bin being introduced into the production process and then being broken into smaller pieces.
The products included in the recall include:
- 22.75-oz. pouches of "Fast Classics Country Fried Steaks"
- 8.5-lb. cases, each containing six pouches of "Fast Classics Country Fried Steaks"
The FSIS says the products were produced on Dec. 21, 2012.
The packages bear the establishment number "EST. 2260Y" in the USDA mark of inspection on the front of the package. They also have a "BEST BY" date of March 21, 2014 stamped on a label on the back of the package, along with the case code of 1523560202.
The products were distributed to one retail chain in multiple states across the country, including Florida. When available, the FSIS says the retail distribution list(s) will be posted on their website here.

Leather Principle
I never owned a real coat when I lived in Los Angeles. When the temperature dipped, I just pulled out a cashmere scarf and layered under a blazer. So when I moved to New York, I was thrilled by the prospect of hitting up my favorite stores in search of the perfect cold-weather accoutrement. Problem was, the plus-size racks were packed with boring black parkas and jackets. Could anything be more bleak this winter than another black puffer? I apply the same fashion sensibility to my outerwear as I do to what's bundled up beneath: If it doesn't scream Wear me now! I won't buy it. My advice: Try an unexpected print, texture, or color and step outside your comfort zone. Tweet me (@mcbiggirl) your faves!

MINNEAPOLIS — Target's deal with Lady Gaga may have fallen through, but that doesn't mean the retailer has lost its ability to court the music industry.
Case in point, the company announced Monday that it is partnering with Grammy and Academy Award-winning singer and actress Jennifer Hudson for the exclusive, deluxe edition of her second studio album, "I Remember Me." The deluxe edition, including four additional new songs and bonus video material, will be available only at Target stores nationwide and on Target.com beginning March 22.
"Creating this album was an amazing, personal journey for me," said Hudson. "It is especially meaningful to be able to share more of my music with my fans on the Target deluxe edition of 'I Remember Me'."
Target's version of Hudson's album includes the tracks "Where You At" (Dave Audé Remix); "The Star Spangled Banner" (live); "What You Think" and "Spotlight," an Afroganic remix, as well as 25 minutes of bonus video footage that, according to Target, gives fans an inside look at Hudson's album cover photo shoot, and behind-the-scenes footage of the making of "I Remember Me," including commentary from Hudson on her inspiration for the new album.

The overview of the 4th Mekong-Japan Summit The agreement as reached at the 4 th Mekong-Japan Summit held in Tokyo on April 21 with the presence of Government chiefs of Japan, Cambodia, Laos, Myanmar, Thailand and Vietnam.
The overview of the 4th Mekong-Japan Summit
The leaders pledged to boost economic and trade linkages and heighten Mekong region's position in the global value chain by adopting industrial development programs and improving business environment.
They also agreed to beef up environmental protection security cooperation, focusing on global climate change response, sustainable use of Mekong water resources, food security…
At the Summit, Japan informed to provide JPY 600 billion in official development assistance over the next three years and Thailand committed to contributing JPY 883 million to support Mekong countries.
Regarding regional and international issues, the leaders affirmed their common stance on issues like Korean peninsula, non-proliferation of weapons of nuclear and mass destruction, and United Nations reform.
For East Sea, the participating countries stressed the importance of maintaining peace, stability, safety and maritime freedom as it is the common interest of countries in the region and the world.
Relevant parties need to solve disputes in the East Sea through peaceful measures on the basis of mutual understanding and respect, observation of international law, especially the 1982 UN Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS), strict and full implementation of the DOC and working towards a Code of Conduct (COC).
Speaking at the Summit, PM Nguyễn Tấn Dũng reaffirmed Việt Nam's support for Mekong-Japan cooperation mechanism.
Priority should be given to specific cooperative fields, especially in finding long-term solutions for sustainable use of Mekong water resources. At first, there should be a comprehensive scientific research of the impacts of Mekong water resources exploitation.
PM Dũng also put forward the initiative of developing multimodal transport system to enhance connectivity among regional economic corridors.

Scheduling leaves time to make up division ground
ANAHEIM -- With Thursday's first pitch at Angel Stadium, the White Sox continued a stretch of playing the Angels seven times in 10 days.
They have faced Kansas City, Cleveland and Minnesota in two separate series each from within their division, but the White Sox have yet to meet up with the American League Central favorites from Detroit. That first meeting doesn't come until two series before the All-Star break on July 9 at Comerica Park, beginning a run of 19 matchups between the two over the season's second half.
It's a scheduling quirk that gives even a third- or fourth-place White Sox squad a chance to make up ground quickly, as long as they aren't too far back come the start of July.
"And as long as we play better against them this year," said White Sox reliever Jesse Crain, referring to the South Siders' 6-12 record against Detroit last season and 19-35 mark over the past three seasons. "They are a good team and tough no matter when we play them. If we can get their number this year, playing them that many times, it would be a good thing."
"You put yourself in a position to play meaningful games in September," White Sox designated hitter Adam Dunn said. "That's all you can ask for."
Despite the White Sox slow start with the bat and equally rough showing defensively, the team finds itself at the same 17-21 mark it stood at through 38 games in 2012. They then resided in third place, 4 1/2 games behind Cleveland, compared to currently being in last and five behind the Tigers at the start of Thursday night.
The White Sox won 13 of 14 after last season's sub-.500 beginning, claimed first place on May 29 and sat there for 117 days before a late-season collapse.
No AL Central team ran away from the pack in 2012, including the White Sox, and the same holds true in 2013. The one caveat this year is Robin Ventura's crew has a plethora of contests with the favored Tigers that could make or break them.
"Right now, on paper, but I don't look at anyone as favorite or not favorite. It's too early," Dunn said. "Whoever becomes the favorite is going to be the team leading in September, leading the division, that's the favorite."
"Obviously, you have to say they are the favorite," said Crain of the Tigers. "But right now we just have to focus on ourselves and play the game we know how to play and not worry about what everyone else is doing."

I recently got this old Drive In theater calander at auction. It is from Castlewood Virginia (about 30 miles from where I live) from the old BlueGrass Drive-In. I love this piece. The frame it came in is a little large for it, but I will reframe it someday. Check out the last 2 photos and zoom on them to see all the great old stars and movies, John Wayne, Maureen OHara, Kirk Douglas, Henry Fonda, James Mitchell, Burt Lancaster, Robert Mitchum, John Forsyth, Dean Martin and Jerry Lewis...wow the golden age!

Rangers letting Nathan take his time in camp
SURPRISE, Ariz. -- The Rangers want closer Joe Nathan pitching well in September and October. They couldn't care less about February and March.
So watch for the Rangers to take it slowly with their 38-year-old reliever this spring. The first sign of that is Nathan is doing his throwing in the bullpen and not doing live batting practice against hitters like the rest of the staff. It's just a hint that the Rangers want to be careful with Nathan, especially since Spring Training is a week longer this year because of the World Baseball Classic.
Nathan will probably start throwing to live hitters sometime next week and isn't expected to pitch in early Cactus League games.
"It's just a longer spring so why push it now," Nathan said.
Nathan was 37-for-40 in save opportunities for the Rangers last year and finished with a 2.80 ERA while opponents hit .231 off him. He had two blown saves and a 4.15 ERA in September, but Nathan said that doesn't necessarily mean he wore down at the end of the season.
"To say I was tired? No," Nathan said. "I felt the same in September as I did in April. You see certain hitters a lot during the course of the season and if you make a mistake, they're going to hit it because they have seen you more. You leave a pitch in the wrong spot, you have less of a chance to get away with it in September than in April."

Modern elegance
Stylish and comfortable to wear with casual grace. I lost my panther bracelet so when I saw the necklace with my Safire birthstone I asked for it for my birthday. So happy I did! Most necklaces scratch my neck but the cool pearls feel great. Looks great with jeans, etc.

I bought this to match the bracelet I bought earlier in the year, and am glad I did. Not too big, nor too small in scale, it is simple, yet elegant. You can wear it with just about anything, though I think a classic silk blouse would really enhance the look. It's a classic piece that you could wear the rest of your life. Do get the matching bracelet, if you can. I often wear it separately, as well. It came in a lovely box, and the shipping was very fast. I've been a RS customer since the early 1990's. I'm quite pleased with their jewelry and their service.

Great quality
This is a very pretty necklace. The pearls are white and smooth. The panthers are well define but I expected them to be larger. It is still a very nice piece and I'll keep it. It is comfortable to wear and stays put most of the time. I have had several comments and the style is one you can wear casually and formally.
For the love of Jewelry, Tarpon Spring, Florida

Evolution Hoax
(Excerpt from Mr. Adnan Oktar's Live Interview dated September 19, 2010)
... That is because no thirst or weariness or hunger will afflict them in the Way of Allah, nor will they take a single step to infuriate the unbelievers, nor secure any gain from the enemy, without a right action being written down for them because of it. Allah does not let the wage of the good-doers go to waste. (Surat at-Tawba, 120)
For instance scoring success against Darwinism would annoy the hypocrites. We have been crashing down Darwinism and materialism but in one respect this also is to upset the hypocrites. That is why we have been giving detailed information about the articles published, the books sold, the books downloaded would make them all go mad. 110 million books have been downloaded only this year, and 110 million of them have been sold all over the world. The joy, power, wealth of Muslims and their favoring each other, their beauties, their love for women, their scientific success would annoy the hypocrite intensely. From the smallest to the biggest; you go to any café and sit there in joy and that makes them mad, you wander around and that makes them mad, you go for a conference and that makes them mad, you intellectually crash the opposition in the conference, and that makes them mad, you go on television and talk about religion that makes them mad, you publish books and that makes them mad. They hear your voice in the radio they go crazy. The affection Muslims feel for each other, and their intellectually crashing the unbelievers, the hypocrites' own helplessness, and their feeling of pain and restlessness in themselves makes them mad as well. And they see the Muslims as the reason for that pain.

THE race for promotion continues at an unrelenting pace.
Their team unable, for now at least, to perform an overtaking move on those ahead, 1874 Northwich fans had a wonder goal from leading marksman Michael Brandon to marvel at instead.
His spectacular looping effort, sent left-footed over Atherton goalkeeper Joshua Harris from 25 yards, was the highlight of an otherwise routine home win on Saturday.
Ian Street's men have won 10 of 11 Division One encounters played since losing to Nelson at the start of December, yet they remain three points adrift of second-placed Formby.
They were too good for their latest guests after surviving an initial scare when Matty Boland shot into the side netting.
At the other end, Craig Farnworth headed narrowly wide and Stuart Wellstead saw an attempt smuggled off the line as 1874 gradually assumed control.
Ben Hardcastle twice went close for Atherton, who fell behind after half an hour when Rick Bailey – after Brandon had combined with Lee Duckworth – fired low into the bottom corner.
Harris reacted smartly to stop Danny Thomas' header from finding the net shortly afterwards, before Brandon had a goal ruled out.
The home team moved further ahead during the initial exchanges after half time, Wellstead converting from the penalty spot following Adam McKillop's foul on Brandon.
After Northwich custodian Matt Conkie had thwarted Jordan Cover with a boot, McKillop's next contribution was to block Brandon's attempt after substitute Daley Woods had provided an assist.
Not to be denied, the striker ran beyond Atherton's defence to reach Lee Jones' lofted ball before sealing his entry for this season's best goal competition.

A group from Bethel University in St. Paul has altered a spring break service trip because of ongoing violence between drug cartels in Mexico.
Fifty-five students from Bethel intended to travel to Chihuahua City in Mexico for a community service spring break trip, but after hearing of violence in that city and in the border towns the group needed to travel through, Bethel officials rerouted the group to El Paso Texas.
Amber Knutson, a junior at Bethel, said they're helping build affordable housing in El Paso.
"So now we're still able to serve, even though it was not where we were planning to go and where our hearts are, but instead still being able to serve and use our spring break that way," Knutson said.
The group is expected to return to Minnesota on Sunday.

void swap(int &x, int &y)
x -= y;
y += x; // y gets the original value of x
x = (y - x); // x gets the original value of y
Enjoy testing it out!
and don't try swapping a variable with itself...
the code below, have the exact same behaviour.
void swap2(int &x, int &y)
x ^= y ^= x ^= y;
hehe, the much beloved xor..
haven't seen the +- above yet..
but fastest is still with a temp variable.. register actually..
__asm {
mov eax,a
mov ebx,b
mov b,eax
mov a,ebx
or possibly there is even some way with mmx?
similar there is something for the fu**ing fpu..
but its always fun to swap "mathematically".. without tempvar..
with that idea, people where able to define the radix sort, the only sort faster than the minimum O(n*lg2(n)).. hehe:D
smaller (but definatly not faster)
xchg [a], eax
xchg [b], eax
xchg [a], eax
but if you're resorting to assembly swaping of variables you're probably already writing the loop in assembly and trying to hold everything in registers.
i never got how xchg really works, but it looks similar to the xor-snippet above
any other swap-codes?
well, the ones I can think of right now are
push [a]
push [b]
pop [a]
pop [b]
not very effective and even worse for register only swaps where xchg should be used, but it's diffrent...
for floats you could use:
fldp [a]
fldp [b]
fstp [a]
fstp [b]
using mmx you could use the pshufw instruction family.
void swap(int& a, int&b )
int c = a;
a = b;
b = c;
sorry. couldnt resist.
Here is a swap performed without a second variable. My creation so hands off!!!!
void swap(int *x,int *y)
int second_varible;
int third_variable;
// See?! I'm not using the second!!!
third_variable = *y;
*y = *x;
*x = third_variable;
:lol: :lol: :lol:
no wait you are serious about your post ?
lol, i saw this post a few mins after he posted it... and i thought it must have been a joke, so i didnt say anything... but i guess ti isint a joke. :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:
What's wrong with you people? Why do u laugh? Of course i'm serious. Don't u see it works perfecly fine?! I use this one a lot in my projects. Stable and fast and everything. Yep it's cool
hospital or police ???
I had something similar sitting around in a header file... Mine is one line of code though
inline void
UselessSwap(int& a, int &b)
a -= b += a -= b = -b;
where the hell did u find this one! it is pretty cool!
What a great thread.. I like the last one.. Never thought about this solution (did anyone tried if it really works?). I also like the function name as it really sais what it's all about.
These "optimizations" are nowadays slower than a temporary variable. But they re cool nevertheless.
I like bit-tricks like these alot.
Funny thread indeed, resurrecting old threads isn't always that bad
I had something similar sitting around in a header file... Mine is one line of code though
inline void
UselessSwap(int& a, int &;)
a -= b += a -= b = -b;
inline void
UselessSwap(int& a, int &;)
a -= b += a -= b = -b;
Not that I'm whining or anything, but if my understanding is correct about certain aspects of c++, the above code is going straight for the realm of "undefined behavior" in c++.
Someone correct me if I'm wrong.
You're wrong
Sorry, I was being a bitch :happy: The reason you're wrong is because the associativity of these expressions is well defined. Just as a + b + c + d is parsed as ((a + + c) + d and std::cout \<\< "hello" \<\< 34 \<\< std::endl is equivalent to ((std::cout \<\< "hello") \<\< 34) \<\< std::endl, this expression becomes a -= (b += (a -= (b = -B)))
Each = operator returns a reference to *this and is used in the outer expression. The thing that isn't defined is the order of evaluation (which is different from associativity) in the function argument list. ++a = a++ is undefined because that translates to operator=(++a, a++) and the outcome depends on which is evaluated first: ++a or a++.

General News of Wednesday, 21 November 2012
Source: Joy Online
General Secretary of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Kwadwo Owusu Afriyie has called the bluff of the Research and Advocacy Platform (RAP) questioning why Nana Akufo-Addo concealed his Oxford University education from the public.
According to him, the NPP and its presidential candidate will not dignify such triviality with a response at the expense of the teeming Ghanaians who are wallowing in abject poverty.
RAP, a pro-National Democratic Congress (NDC) group at a press conference in Accra said failure by the NPP flagbearer to include his Oxford University education in his Curriculum Vitae (CV) calls his integrity into question.
Convener of the group, Felix Kwakye-Ofosu said it is clear by their information that Akufo-Addo enrolled into the Oxford University in London in the 1962/63 Academic Year but left the University under "unexplained circumstances".
He wondered how Ghanaians will trust him [Nana] if he cannot be honest and transparent in his CV.
But on Ekosii Sen programme Tuesday, Kwadwo Owusu Afriyie said the question about whether Nana Akufo-Addo attended Oxford University or not will not solve the bread and butter issues confronting Ghanaians.
He noted that the ruling party and its appendages are making a fuss about Nana Addo's education background because they lack ideas.
Sir John as he is popularly called, indicated that the ruling party in its desperate attempt to find an antidote to the free Senior High School (SHS) policy of the NPP wants to divert attention.
He said the NPP's espoused educational policy has sunk deep in the minds of Ghanaians and nothing can make them change their minds.
The NPP Scribe said they will not allow the unnecessary destruction to derail its campaign to redeem Ghanaians from the suffering under the NDC.
He proverbially likened the NDC to someone clothed in cotton wool attempting to hover over a flame and urged them to desist from tempting the NPP.
Sir John said with corruption at its apex in the country all the electorates are waiting for is a leader like Akufo-Addo who is committed to fighting the canker in Ghana's body politic.
