My thoughts on the [HOBIT] teaser release on Nov 15, 09:21
You're just repeating what IGN says. BATM3 prologue/extended trailer is with MISS4. {nm} on Nov 15, 09:44
Incorrect. (By that logic, IGN is repeating what I've been saying for over a year.) Also, BATM3 prologue has nothing to do with the actual on Nov 15, 10:51
What logic? In any case it's not an original thought. You wouldn't be the first or only one to think HOBIT teaser could be with TINTN. on Nov 15, 10:57
Never claimed it would be, all I said is its my opinion (and has been for awhile). Read more carefully in the future before dimissing an on Nov 15, 10:59
Everything you said about HOBIT was in the source IGn article, which you avoided liniking directly. on Nov 15, 11:01
You can make the same case for the vast majority of posts on here, including some of your own. You're kind of being **** about this, frankly {nm} on Nov 15, 11:03
Everyone knows link to the source is a major pet peeve. {nm} on Nov 15, 11:06
I agree, which is why I said it was an error (and is fixed). Unfairly painting my opinion as something else is a bigger pet peeve, with all on Nov 15, 11:08
I meant you could have post a link to the IGN source with all the info, rather than to your blog. {nm} on Nov 15, 11:11
If I was just reporting what they were, I would have. But I gave actual reasons for my opinion...they didn't. {nm} on Nov 15, 11:12
The mislink was a simple error. You fail to mention the fact that I sourced ComingSoon *and* IGN, the former which links directly to IGN's on Nov 15, 11:05
Also, there is a very clear difference between a report stating possibilities and my own report actually detailing *why* I think what I do. {nm} on Nov 15, 11:11
This is the key difference between what I wrote and what IGN reported on Nov 15, 11:18
A BATM3 trailer with HOLM2 on 12/16 doesn't make sense because the prologue is with MISS4 on 12/21. {nm} on Nov 15, 11:32
The prologue is just the first 6 minutes of the movie, not an actual trailer. And it will only be showing in select IMAX theaters. on Nov 15, 11:58
Also, your dates are off. MISS4 releases in IMAX on 12/14. {nm} on Nov 15, 12:00
Noted, that's even closer. {nm} on Nov 15, 12:16
Exactly why I think they'll use that strategy. Holmes is their winter tentpole, I'd be surprised if they wasted a marketing opporunity like on Nov 15, 13:29

ST. LOUIS, MO.(KMOX)-You may use your iPad to read magazines or watch movies, but a grant to the St. Louis Public School District will allow the iPads to be used to help Autistic students. A nearly $11-thousand dollar grant from the Innovative Technology Education Fund will provide iPads in six self-contained autism classrooms at Gateway Institute of Technology high school.
The District says it'll incorporate the iPads into instructional learning by using applications recommended by Autism Speaks, the nation's largest autism science and advocacy organization. Teachers will also get training from Apple
Dr. Elizabeth Bender, Principal at Gateway says the iPads will help students better communicate and socialize with their families and classmates.
A recent report on "60 Minutes" on CBS profiled how students use of the iPad is enabling some autistic students to finally communicate with their family and teachers.

Which boils faster, hot water or cold water?
Dear Cecil:
Which boils faster — hot (or very hot) water or cold water?
P.S.: You must have seen this one coming!
Cecil replies:
I resigned myself to it long ago, buttercup. As any sane and decent person would expect, hot water out of the tap will boil faster than cold water out of the tap. However, water that has been boiled once and allowed to cool will boil faster than hot water out of the tap. That's because boiling gets rid of the dissolved oxygen usually found in water, making it easier for the water to boil the second time around. There's money in this somewhere, I'm sure of it.

The horizontal, fluorophore enhanced, rep-PCR (HFERP) DNA fingerprinting technique was used to identify potential sources of Escherichia coli in water, nearshore sand, and sediment at two beaches in the Duluth-Superior Harbor, near Duluth, MN, and Superior, WI, during May, July, and September 2006. An animal or environmental source could be identified for 35, 29, and 30% of E. coli strains in water, sand, and sediments, respectively. Waterfowl, including Canada geese, ring-billed gulls, and mallard ducks, were the largest source of E. coli that could be identified in water (55–100%), sand (59–100%), and sediment (92–100%) at both beaches. Although ring-billed gulls were more abundant in this harbor, Canada geese were usually the dominant source of waterfowl E. coli found at these beaches. The percentage of E. coli identified from treated wastewater was always less than the percentage of E. coli originating from waterfowl. At both beaches, the percentage of E. coli in water contributed by treated wastewater was higher in May compared with July and September. The larger proportion of wastewater-derived E. coli seen in May probably reflected a smaller contribution of E. coli from geese when these birds were less abundant rather than an absolute increase in E. coli from treated wastewater. Microbial source analysis and bird census data both indicated that waterfowl were a major source of E. coli at beaches in the Duluth-Superior Harbor. These data also indicated it is risky to assume that the most abundant waterfowl species present in waterways will also be the largest source of avian-derived E. coli in water, nearshore sand, and sediments at beaches.Please view the pdf by using the Full Text (PDF) link under 'View' to the left.

JERUSALEM, Dec. 26 (UPI) -- The European Union will pressure Israel and the Palestinians to reach a peace agreement in 2013, an Israeli government document predicts.
The internal Israeli Foreign Ministry document was compiled after the United Nations upgraded the Palestinians' status to that of non-member observer status and will be presented to the new government following next month's Israeli elections, Haaretz said Wednesday.
An unnamed senior Israeli official said the document predicts Israel will come under heavy pressure from the European Union to reach a peace agreement with the Palestinians in 2013, the newspaper said. The Europeans, the document states, doubt a solution can be reached through the traditional format of direct talks between the sides and may try to force a solution on Israel and the Palestinians instead.
"The EU thinks there needs to be a peace process in a new format to lead to progress in 2013. We think international parameters should be formulated for the end of the conflict. We will no longer agree that the two sides should sit alone in a room and we should say yes to everything they do," an unidentified European diplomat told Haaretz.

Toe Socks
When most people hear or read the term "toe socks" the first thing that comes to mind are the novelty socks that are created to be very much like gloves, providing each toe a divided section of material. While these style of socks are typically referred to with the term, they are not the only style that can carry the name.
Actually, there are a number of sock styles out there which are commonly called toe socks. In fact, many of those that include the term "toe" in their title are not glove-like at all. They are usually those which are designed to provide comfort and extra support for the toes.
These kinds of socks are often selected by active people. For example, mens toe socks are often selected by male hikers do to the increased incidence of foot strain during climbing, hiking and walking. These activities can put additional strain on the feet, ankles and toes, causing fatigue and even injury.
Though it may seem strange to some, many people actually prefer socks that have a more fitted toe. These style of socks leave less room for the feet to slip around inside of socks, preventing the socks from bunching up and becoming uncomfortable inside of sneakers, hiking books, work boots or other varieties of shoes. Toe socks for men are usually selected for exactly that reason – they prevent irritation and bunching of socks that can irritate the toes.
The term toe sock can also refer to those styles of sock which have a different colored toe. The coloring of the toe being distinctly different from the rest of the sock is why these styles are often referred to with this term. The most popular among these styles is that of gold toe socks.
Gold Toe is relative inexpensive, usually carrying a price tag of about $12.00 or $15.00 for half a dozen pairs. The company makes socks for men, women, teenagers and children. These cheap toe socks are also commonly available from lots of different local retailers. Online merchants also carry these socks in large quantities.
When you search for womens toe socks online you're bound to find a variety of socks appearing in results. Some may be the sport sock varieties which are designed to provide the wearer with added comfort during strenuous physical activities. Others will be gold toe or a similar style. Still others will be the novelty variety, which do make wonderful gifts for women who enjoy the lighter side of life.
Novelty toe socks do keep the feet very warm also, as they fit like a glove. In spite of their somewhat silly appearance, you may want to consider buying these socks for a loved one with cold feet. Who knows, they may get a kick out of the novelty of these socks as well.

JAMES Hird has done nothing wrong by the letter of the law if he's taken an ASADA-banned substance.
But the Essendon coach remains vulnerable to sanction by the AFL for bringing the game into disrepute.
The AFL Commission can deal with anyone in the code it feels has damaged the fabric of the competition.
AFL chief Andrew Demetriou described the involvement of Hird in the latest turn of events in the Essendon drugs scandal as disturbing.
"It's very clear if any coach or official puts the duty of care of their players at risk then they will be held accountable," Demetriou said. "There is no place for them in the game."
Coaches and club officials are allowed to take prohibited substances under Australian Sports Anti-Doping Authority guidelines but not traffic or administer drugs to players.
It has been alleged Hird was injected with Hexarelin - which was banned by the World Anti-Doping Agency in 2004 - and the tanning drug Melanotan II.
"Coaches can be captured under the WADA code, the rules are very specific surrounding coaches and their influence over players in the taking of illegal substances on the WADA list," Demetriou said.
ASADA has been investigating Essendon since February after concerns were raised about the club's supplement program, which was run by sports scientist Stephen Dank.
He has since said he injected Essendon players with extract from pig's brain used to treat Alzheimer's, the first milk from a mother cow and a bark extract.
Demetriou said he was disturbed by the developments.
"I'm shocked by the complexity of the substances, the potential injurious nature of these substances," he said.
"I'm horrified as a parent by the thought of, if true, that young men were injected with these substances.
"It's terribly disturbing."
He said he was looking forward to Hird putting his case to the ASADA investigators.
"It doesn't matter who you are in this game, the expectations of our supporters is that they watch the sport in its purest form.
"No person or no action that seeks to gain advantage by improper means will be tolerated in this code."
Hird described the injection claims as "very upsetting". "I just can't wait to get in and talk to ASADA and the AFL ... I can't wait to clear my name," he said.
Essendon chairman David Evans said the club would be making no decisions until its own investigation - being conducted by former Telstra boss Ziggy Switkowski - was concluded.
"James Hird is a person who has the respect of this club and the football community, and the board will not be making decisions about the next steps until the processes of the review and the investigation takes its course," he said.

In a statement released yesterday, John Wiley & Sons announced that third quarter revenue of $297 million increased 7% from $278 million in the previous year's third quarter, or 5% excluding favorable foreign exchange. Adjusted earnings per diluted share was $0.55 for the third quarter, excluding an income tax benefit of $1 million, or $0.02 per diluted share. Adjusted earnings for the quarter include incremental stock option expense due to the adoption of SFAS 123R of $3 million, or $0.03 per diluted share, and a bad debt provision of $5 million, or $0.05 per diluted share related to the bankruptcy of Advanced Marketing Services, a distributor to warehouse clubs. For the first nine-months of fiscal year 2007, Wiley's revenue advanced 9% to $845 million from $778 million in the comparable prior year period. Adjusted earnings per diluted share for the nine-month period was $1.37, excluding an income tax benefit of $5 million.
"Wiley had another solid quarter, as reflected in top-line growth of 7%. While all of Wiley's businesses contributed to the year-on-year growth, our Global STM business had a particularly strong quarter," said William J. Pesce, President and Chief Executive Officer.

Happy open threading everyone.
Saturday Night Open Thread
Happy open threading everyone.
A couple weeks ago, I got a new smartphone. I opted for the Samsung Galaxy, and am loving it so far. Today I discovered that I can talk to it. I knew iphones could do this (I've seen the commercials), but wasn't aware that my Galaxy could as well. I gotta say, some of the jokes it has are funny.
Me: Hi, Galaxy.
Phone: Hey, nice to meet you.
Me: Tell me a joke
Phone: Why did the monkey fall out of the tree?
Phone: Because it was dead.
I legit laughed out loud. However, there is a mildly creepy aspect to this. At one point, the phone said it could see me.
Me: Wait…do you have eyes?
Phone: Yes, but I only have eyes for you.
Me: ……..
Aw, how cute. I expect to see your relationship status updated soon.
I don't see "dick stuck in a phone" as a relationship option. ;)
The phone might take matters into it own……internal antenna?
*clears throat*
Um, how about a medical option?
Ask it about the $1500 seats.
HA! Its happening! This is fantastic
Don't think that there's laws against object fetishes, so…
Ever heard of cleverbot? It is a robotic internet program that becomes more human as people talk to it. One day I went to the website and long story short, cleverbot wanted in my pants so it could have my babies. I no longer talk to electronics
More humor than the iPhone. Ask the iPhone to tell me a joke, it responds "I don't really know any. In fact, none."
Signing Thomas Neal was dumb. With assholes like him and Diaz clogging up AAA the outfielders like the Almonte brothers will have to play in AA, which means Austin and Flores might have to play in A+.
Why assume those guys will stick around if they don't make the team?
Yeah, I'm sure a couple of them get cut after spring training if they don't make the team. No big deal.
I also think that, if all the Almontes were to combine, Voltron-style, it probably wouldn't stop Tyler Austin from jumping right over them when the time came.
But what if they can dance better than Voltron?
Voltron will just zap them.
Five lion Voltron, or 15 vehicle Voltron?
Loved the lion cartoon more, but my dad bought be the giant vehicle toy for Christmas one year. It was awesome.
Double the Voltron(s?) double the zap power.
Must have took a bit more than usual remembering 15 or so character names just for the good guys.. I personally have problems matching person themselves with their names, which shows quite often on my history tests.
Able to leap tall voltrons in a single bound!
When ARE you legally changing your name to Almonte anyway?
yeah, signing for depth is stupid.Unless Billy Beene does it, then its awesome
any one here noes about laptops? i've been alisying the market and have stopped at http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16834310661 anyone has a similar machine?
Don't know about that model specifically, but it does have good specs and Lenovo has a good reputation. Best I can tell you.
Lenovo is a great choice. Durable. And yep those are great specs. A thousand bucks is quite steep but depends what you want to do with it.
thanks figured i needed a new laptap for college. gonna use this bad boy for youtube, facebook and twitter.
Oh, you kids and your Facebook.
Told ya I wasn't going to let it die.
You..slightly older people and your…farmville!!!
Stop trying to get me to play Farmville.
I never played it..but you will.
No I won't. A former coach of mine from T-Mobile posted something about some kind of baseball sim game that I might look at to see what it's like, but I'm not into farming.
I know a guy whose wife left him for someone she met playing Whoville, or one of those things.
That is a really good laptop spec wise, definitely get it
To be honest, if you are only planning on using it for internet & word processing, you probably don't need that much power (translation: physical weight, low battery life, high component strain).
Right now, I use a Lenovo S205 netbook for home/mobile, and it's worked out really well (about 1.5 years old). I get about 5 hours off the same battery it came with, and it was way way cheaper (a comparable machine today would probably be about $400).
I work on computationally-intensive numerical simulations, so I think I have a pretty good idea of what specs you need for which tasks. The machine you linked is indeed a solid one, but I don't know if you need to spend that much money. If you aren't writing code or playing really intense games, you aren't going to be concerned with your processor/memory, but more likely your internet connection.
Note to all Americans: This is how you riot!
Ever defriend someone on Facebook because all they do is spout out political extremes. I think the last straw was when he cited a bogus website as proof of something about Newtown. It was not a legitimate news source and contradicted the police report as well a every legitimate news source.
I've pretty much defriended him in real life but I still run in the same circles. How do I respond if he notices and says something?
you tell him to take his tampon out since, well…. its FACEBOOK! That honestly sounds like a problem my wife would come to me with, no offense.
I'm young so maybe not an issue for some of you guys.
And to answer your question, no I really don't defined people on Facebook. It's just sorta is what it is, but to your point I am an older dude so it has little to do with my actual social life as much as something you do to see photos of other people's kids/dogs….
And also to be a group of people who may or may not be conspiring…
So you're the leader of Aces & Eights?
I'm young to (I hope). I've de-friended plenty of people. None of which I come into contact with anymore, though. Can't help you with that part.
My biggest purge was a couple of years ago, a few of them started chiming off about just nuking the entire Middle East. I couldn't stand to see such stupidity.
I've sometimes thought that might be for the best.
They were serious. Like, would have pushed the red button if they could. Really not cool man. Of all the travelling I've done, the Arabs are the nicest I have come across. And yes, that includes Americans.
Well, having never left the country, I do find that Americans generally suck.
In the Middle East, you ride shotgun in cabs, not the back seat. The reason being, they want to talk to you, welcome you, and share stories with you. That's an illustration of the mindset of the culture. And some people want to nuke that.
Thanks man. Glad to know I shouldn't feel bad about it.
Depends. Every now and then, it's nice to have a window into a world you don't really live in. It can get tiresome, though.
If you're seriously worried about social fallout from defriending him, simply scroll over the down carrot on the upper right corner of his posts. There you'll find a hide option, and from there you can basically selected removing him from your newsfeed. Then you don't have to worry about his bullshit posts, and you don't have to worry about any social blowback.
Thanks for this. I didn't even think about it.
I never de-friended someone I considered a true friend on FaceBook. Political comments don't bother me from either side as long as they're in their proper place. (Not a fan of them on sports boards, for example.) Yet if I was to start seeing extreme crap from either side, I wouldn't hesitate to de-friend someone. If they asked, I'd tell them why. Actually, they wouldn't have to. If they were a friend, I'd proactively tell them why I'm de-friending them on FB. In most cases, it's usually not friends that cause an issue. It's usually people who aren't true friends, but you've connected with on FaceBook.
If you work with them currently and don't want to create an issue, you can simply hide them. You're still connected, but you will never see a post of theirs again. I have about twenty people in that bucket. I like them enough to keep them connected, don't want to offend them, but they all did something consistently to annoy me, so they went off into the never-see zone. I even forget they're there and connected since I never see anything they post.
Agreed, but I go a bit further…if you work with me, your friend request won't be accepted. I keep those worlds separate.
Just tell him the truth and be up front about it. Since you have already defriended him in real life he probably noticed it already.
But if you don't want to be mean or awkward just tell him facebook has been unfriending ppl do to updates and just add him back. Then go to his page, highlight the friends option, click settings, and uncheck everything you see. Therefore whenever he posts something you won't see it but he'll still be on your list.
North Carolina is losing, Knicks are losing, Rangers are losing, the Super Bowl features two teams I hate, and of course we know the Yankees are doomed.
Life is great!
ERMAGERHD!!!! Dooooooooooom'd!!!!

Does anyone else think that it would be awesome to have a pet sloth? You could carry it around on your back and it would look really cool. I would carry it around in public a people would go "Woah! What a cool looking backpack! It looks just like a sloth!" Then I'd be like "This isn't a backpack!" and I'd feed it an apple or something. It would absolutely blow their minds. Am I alone in wanting to do this or is this an awesome idea?
Well, all I can say is that this is the best idea I've heard in a long time!
Fuck yeah.
After reading just the first sentence, I couldn't agree with you more. Having a pet sloth would be the coolest thing ever. The best part is, even if it 'runs away' it'll never get lost, by the time you get home for the day from work or w/e, he'll barely be out of the room you left him in. Plus they are fucking awesome looking, they're all cute and shit and they have those giant claw like fingers.
plus that.
More news from Yankee beat writers recently:
•Yankee GM Cashman said that he's aware that he needs to strengthen the bench and find a right-handed bat for the outfield. However, he doesn't feel as though it all has to come together by Opening Day and suggested that he could explore mid-season deals to make that happen. "Necessity is the teenaged mother of the unplanned pregnancy or invention, depending on how you see it. If we need to explore the scrap heap if we start falling out of contention, there's going to be a load out there."
•Meanwhile, the GM says the Yankees were never close to signing Scott Hairston either, despite being linked to him for a good portion of the winter, writes Dan Martin of the New York Post. Cashman added that the club isn't opposed to multi-year deals but did say that they'll have to be careful about it. "Some GMs just get way too caught up in the player's prior season and don't think enough about the long-term implications. This organization is by no means immune. Some might question the decisions to sign Carl Pavano, Kyle Farnsworth, Kei Igawa, Pedro Feliciano, A.J. Burnett, Damaso Marte, Mark Texeira, well… you get the point. But I have a saying: "Fool me once, shame on — shame on you. Fool me — you can't get fooled again."

Strategy: If you plan to buy a credit-eligible vehicle in 2006, do it sooner rather than later.
Why? Unlike the old deduction for green vehicles, this new credit phases out after the vehicle's manufacturer sells a certain number of those vehicles.
Specifically, the credit starts to phase out beginning with the second calendar quarter following the quarter in which the manufacturer sells 60,000 of the vehicles. And with the popularity of hybrid cars and other eco-vehicles, that could happen quickly.
To claim the credit, the manufacturer must certify the vehicle as being eligible for the credit. The IRS then reviews that certification and sends an acknowledgment letter within 30 days to the manufacturer.
The credit is based on the vehicle's fuel efficiency and can run as high as $3,400. (See box at right.)
To qualify for the new tax credit, you must also:
• Place the vehicle in service after 2005 and before 2011.
• Be the original owner of the vehicle.
• Use the vehicle predominately in the United States.
What about leasing? IRS sources have clarified that consumers who lease qualified hybrid vehicles do not directly qualify for the tax credit. But the leasing company can qualify and it may pass along savings in the form of lower lease payments.

Counterfactual decomposition of changes in wage distributions using quantile regression
We propose a method to decompose the changes in the wage distribution over a period of time in several factors contributing to those changes. The method is based on the estimation of marginal wage distributions consistent with a conditional distribution estimated by quantile regression as well as with any hypothesized distribution for the covariates. Comparing the marginal distributions implied by different distributions for the covariates, one is then able to perform counterfactual exercises. The proposed methodology enables the identification of the sources of the increased wage inequality observed in most countries. Specifically, it decomposes the changes in the wage distribution over a period of time into several factors contributing to those changes, namely by discriminating between changes in the characteristics of the working population and changes in the returns to these characteristics. We apply this methodology to Portuguese data for the period 1986-1995, and find that the observed increase in educational levels contributed decisively towards greater wage inequality.

Other Name: Lung cancer education
Detailed Description:
In the United States during 2007, ~ 213,380 people were expected to be diagnosed with lung cancer, and ~ 160,390 expected to die of the disease. Among those diagnosed with lung cancer, 79% to 90% are cigarette smokers. Overall, ~21% of adults in the U.S. smoke. The most important and cost-effective strategy for the prevention of lung cancer mortality is smoking avoidance and cessation. Smoking cessation is often difficult for smokers to achieve for a variety of reasons including: difficulty with nicotine withdrawal, failure to perceive the benefits of smoking cessation, and failure to perceive the risks associated with smoking. We argue that the most effective biomarkers to affect perceptions of harm, especially for lung cancer, are those that signal progression towards disease development. Prior to the development of lung cancer, there are genetic alterations in the bronchial epithelium. One such alteration is the methylation of the promoter region of Rb-p16 (p16) important in regulation of the G1-S transition of the cell cycle. Prior studies have shown that presence of the promoter methylation of p16 results in a 2-fold increase in risk of developing lung cancer in smokers with evidence of airway obstruction.
Proposed is a pilot study of educating smokers about the role of genetics and lung cancer in Durham VA out-patient clinics. The goal of this pilot study is to assess the interest in study participation from the VA smoking population, as well as to determine the fraction of subjects who will complete the study to power a future larger trial. Interested patients will receive a 15 minute educational presentation on the function of p16 and its role in development of lung cancer. They will then be assessed for airway obstruction by hand-held spirometry followed by review of a questionnaire assessing their understanding of the presented information, their concern for developing lung cancer, and their desire to quit smoking. All patients will be offered smoking cessation assistance at this point. Enrolled patients will then be given 3 sputum cups to take home and return with morning sputum samples by mail. Samples will be assessed for evidence of p16 methylation and patients will be informed of the results. Follow-up phone interviews will be performed at 2 to 4 weeks after patients have received their results by mail to assess their understanding of the results, and their desire to stop smoking. A final phone interview will occur approximately 3 months after the sputum testing to assess attempts to stop smoking as well as the patients continued understanding of their test results. Patients will be compensated a total of $40.00 for completing the study. For purposes of this pilot, we are interested primarily in the descriptive statistics (e.g., frequencies) associated with the outcome of each objective (e.g., how many expressed interest, how many returned the sputum samples).

Families in college together: father-daughter duo experience college from two different perspectives
Seldom is a whole family in college together at one time, but that is exactly what happened with the Jovanovics.
Nickolas Jovanovic and Nicole Jovanovic are father and daughter who have experienced UALR from two very different perspectives. Nickolas Jovanovic, 54, is an associate professor and coordinator of Architectural, Civil, and Construction Engineering Programs in the Department of Construction Management and Civil and Construction Engineering.. Nicole Jovanovic is a senior theatre and Spanish major, math minor, and Donaghey Scholar, projected to graduate in December. Wife Paula Jovanovic graduated from the university with a degree in Spanish in 2010.
Nickolas Jovanovic was born in Stillwater, Oklahoma, raised largely in Connecticut, and moved to Little Rock when Nicole Jovanovic was one year old; they have lived here since then. The Jovanovics wanted to come closer to their family in Kansas, but they realized Connecticut was too far from Kansas, so when former Chancellor Hathaway came to UALR to start the College of Engineering, Nickolas Jovanovic seized the opportunity for the new job.
"We started taking her to the Children's Theatre [at the Arkansas Arts Center] to see 'Jack and the Beanstalk' when she was two, and I don't think she's missed a play since," Nickolas Jovanovic said.
"I've missed some. I've missed about five in my life," Nicole Jovanovic said.
The Jovanovics homeschooled Nicole when it was discovered that she could already read well in preschool. Nicole was so young when she started at UALR that for father and daughter to be in college together, Nickolas was able to keep an eye on his daughter through the years.
Nicole is an only child who still enjoys spending time with her parents. They still come together for opening night at the Children's Theatre.

The New England Patriots and New York Giants have more in common than just playing each other in exciting Super Bowls. They also have a knack at getting bit by the injury bug and having key players wind up on the weekly NFL Injury Report. For Week 6 of the 2012 NFL season, things are no different, as Aaron Hernandez, Wes Welker and Hakeem Nicks are all game time decisions, but are also three players who the Patriots and Giants fully expect to play.
Nicks has appeared closer and closer to making his return all week, and indications have been all along that New York expects to have him back for the first time in a few weeks when the Giants take on the San Francisco 49ers later this afternoon. It is a late game, so make sure to check back for the updated inactives list throughout the day.
Unfortunately, that is the same case for the Patriots, who take on the Seattle Seahawks in another late afternoon start. Hernandez is expected back for the first time since the first week of the season, as he has practiced throughout the week. He may be a bit limited early on, but if he can play, expect him to get quite a few targets.
Welker has a mild ankle sprain, and he has played through various nagging injuries in the past. The Patriots fully expect him to play and receive the normal amount of snaps, but adding complications is the expected return of Hernandez. That could alter his targets.

Mary Henley Rubio '61 Authors Lucy Maud Montgomery: The Gift of Wings
October 12, 2008
October 12, 2008, Greencastle, Ind. — Mary Henley Rubio, a 1961 graduate of DePauw University, is the author of author of Lucy Maud Montgomery: The Gift of Wings. It is published by Doubleday, which notes, "Mary Henley Rubio has spent over two decades researching Montgomery's life, and has put together a comprehensive and penetrating picture of this Canadian literary icon, all set in rich social context. Extensive interviews with people who knew Montgomery -- her son, maids, friends, relatives, all now deceased -- are only part of the material gathered in a journey to understand Montgomery that took Rubio to Poland and the highlands of Scotland."
Known to readers as L.M. Montgomery, the subject of the book (1874–1942) is best known for a series of novels beginning with Anne of Green Gables, which was published in 1908.
The Ottawa Citizen calls Rubio's new book, "Absolutely gripping ... nothing short of brilliant, an un-put-downable read, and a wonderful examination of this troubled woman's tragic life."
The Montreal Gazette adds that The Gift of Wings is "a poignant story about a real family.... The result of Rubio's research is pure Canadian Gothic: a story of sexual repression, class conflict and family secrets."
Learn more, and order the book, at Amazon.com.
Mary Henley Rubio is University Professor Emeritus at the University of Guelph. She has spent over two decades researching Montgomery's life, and co-edited The Selected Journals of L.M. Montgomery (five volumes, 1985-2004), co-authored Writing a Life: L.M. Montgomery, and edited Harvesting Thistles: The Textual Garden of L.M. Montgomery.Back

In order for the miracle of the automotive cooling system to march on unabated all the components must be able to hold up under pressure. The heavy hitter in this equation is the radiator. Inside the radiator are coolant passages. Connected to the passages are the cooling fins. As hot engine coolant passes through the radiator heat gets wicked away through these fins and into the air. Neglecting the cooling system can cause corrosion and even rust to build up inside the radiator until one day it literally cracks under pressure and makes like an underhood Old Faithful. Pressure and tempers are lost along with engine cooling.
Coolant Crusted
A regular check of coolant level will indicate if the system is holding its own. Check the coolant only when the engine is cold, and on a level surface by removing the radiator cap and peering inside the filler neck. Never open a cooling system when the engine is hot. If the coolant level in the radiator or coolant reservoir is below normal, or if there are the tell tale signs of coolant leakage on the garage floor first inspect the radiator and heater hoses and water pump for leaks. Take a good look at the hose clamps and make sure they're snug. A leaking system cannot maintain the pressure required for coolant circulation. The engine will run hot as hot as a boiling kettle and eat itself up.
Core Issues
If a look inside the radiator reveals coolant the color of iron oxide then it might be time for radiator replacement or repair. The radiator is comprised of a core and surrounding tanks. The core contains the coolant channels and fins that transfer heat away from the coolant and into the air. The tank surrounds the core and holds everything together. Older cores are made of copper and brass. More modern cores are made from aluminum. Tanks can be made of brass, copper, aluminum, or plastic depending on if the car was made recently or long ago. Inspect the finned surfaces and seams where the fins join up with the surrounding tank for leaks. Obvious leaks mimic a bright green Vesuvius. Other leaks are harder to locate and may require pressure testing of the cooling system along with removal and testing of the radiator itself.
Repair or Replace?
We get asked this question all the time and we're going to answer it by saying yes, radiators can be repaired. This is good news to motorists who like us have cars manufactured on the Island of Misfit Toys, for which there is no replacement radiator available. If the radiator is in good shape overall both core and tank leaks can be repaired. If the core is rotten but the end tanks appear OK a local radiator shop can install a new core in no time. For composite plastic and aluminum radiators the best bet may be replacement, but even these can be repaired. Each type of setup presents its own repair challenges. The one way to keep the radiator and entire cooling system in good shape is to change and flush the coolant according to manufacturers recommendations. Neglected coolant becomes corrosive and can cause a myriad of problems.
Temporary Fix
While cracking eggs and pouring ground black pepper into the radiator filling neck, or applying JB Weld may or may not temporarily stop a radiator leak, the problem will be sure to return. A good radiator repair shop will be able to tell whether radiator repair is an option, or if a replacement radiator is the answer. It may be more cost effective to actually replace the radiator in some cases. Another option to consider is getting a heavy-duty or three-row core installed in place of a rotten two-row core for improved cooling. Removing and replacing a radiator is well within the scope of the DIY mechanic. Repairing or recoring a radiator is a job best left to the radiator shop. Use those eggs for an delicious omelet instead. Black pepper to taste.
Stuff You'll Need:
· Your Friendly Neighborhood Radiator Shop
· Hand Tools to Remove the Radiator
· Catch Container to Drain the Coolant
· Some Cash to Pay the Radiator Shop
· Distilled Water and Engine Coolant
Obvious symptoms of a leaking radiator are coolant spraying forth or steam. Subtle signs of a leaking radiator are discoloration and crusty dried coolant deposits. Upon removal this radiator revealed the source of a slow leak. Off to the radiator shop.
Expansion plugs are installed into the inlet and outlets of the radiator. These plugs seal things up so a pressure cap on the filler neck can pressurize the radiator with air.
Into the soup. The radiator is submerged and then pressurized. Any leaks will reveal themselves by a stream of air bubbles escaping from the radiator.
Once out of the soup some flux is applied to the leak area in preparation for the repair.
With some flame, solder, and more flux the radiator will soon be good as new.
The radiator goes back into the tank and is pressurized once again to test the repair. Success! Take it home and put it back into the car.

text: Hi all, I'm Jerry, aka Ihook. Bought a new smoker last week, it's a Mastercraft Elite 30 electric smoker. I bought it because the bluefish run here in Brigantine Nj has been strong this year, and I love smoked fish! My first attempt last weekend turned out delicious! I plan on doing a lot of smoking, but not just fish. I'll be looking for advice as I go. Thanks in advance for all help!

ENTERTAINER Rolf Harris has appeared in a London court to plead his innocence on 12 charges related to sexual offences spanning almost 20 years including the assault of a seven-year-old girl.
The 83-year-old Australian dressed in a smart navy suit and red tie stood in the dock of Court 9 of Southwark Crown Court in London to plead not guilty to each of the charges related to alleged indecent assaults of four girls between 1968 to 1986.
He is charged with a further four offences of making indecent images of a child between March and July 2012 but it yet to be arraigned on those.
For the first time the court heard some detail of the alleged offences including the nature of the assaults which included digital penetration and oral sex of a 15 year-old girl between April 1980 to April 1981 and touching that girl on the breasts and genitalia again about four years later when she was 19 years old.
He was also charged with three counts of indecent assault including one of digital penetration of a 14-year-old girl on May 31, 1986, indecently touching another girl in 1968 when she seven or eight and one count of rubbing the buttocks of a 14-year-old between January 1975 and January 1976.
The identity of the women cannot be revealed for legal reasons.
As each charge was read out, the entertainer clearly declared "not guilty" when asked how he pled. He was supported in court by about a dozen family members and supporters including his wife Alwen Hughes and daughter Bindi. The group was escorted into court by a private security detail.
Harris hummed to himself as he entered the court building, on the banks of the River Thames, pushing his wife in a wheelchair.
He looked healthier than he did in his previous court appearance where he appeared to be frail and struggle to take his seat.
During the almost one-hour hearing he nodded assurances to family and friends.
Prosecutor Sasha Wass told the court the four charges relating to indecent photographs of a child allegedly found on Harris' computer were still being analysed by experts engaged by the defence counsel who suggested these charges may be dismissed at a later stage.
There are to be at least two pre-trial hearings before the trial proper starts on April 30. His bail conditions remained the same including that he not approach the scheduled 11 witnesses directly or indirectly and stay at the home address he previously gave to the court unless he otherwise notifies the court.
There was about half an hour of legal argument related to how the case could be reported at these early stages; such was the interest the hearing was a ticketed event with 30 media able to enter the court room but double that number of camera crews and other media outside behind a police cordon and erected steel barriers.
Justice Nigel Sweeney invited media representatives from both the UK and Australia to speak to the open court on issues related to reportage of certain facts. News Corporation Australia spoke for the Australian media on laws related to jurisdiction.
Justice Sweeney briefly adjourned the hearing to check what was already being published on the internet. He returned to dismiss a request by defence counsel for some aspects not to be reported at this time, since they were already "emblazoned" across the net. He ruled alleged offences contained in the charges could be reported together with the fact Harris had yet to be arraigned on the four other charges.
The Australian artist, musician and television presenter was arrested last year by Scotland Yard officers working on Operation Yewtree, the British national investigation launched after abuse claims were made against entertainer Jimmy Savile.
There were three strands to Yewtree; those related directly to the actions of the now deceased Savile, actions of those connected to Savile and "others" which emerged during the course of the investigation. Harris was arrested by officers from the latter strand and there is no connection between the two men or any other cases related to Savile.

This script is Copyright (C) 2012-2014 Tenable Network Security, Inc.
Synopsis :
The remote Scientific Linux host is missing one or more security
Description :
BusyBox provides a single binary that includes versions of a large
number of system commands, including a shell. This can be very useful
for recovering from certain types of system failures, particularly
those involving broken shared libraries.
A buffer underflow flaw was found in the way the uncompress utility of
BusyBox expanded certain archive files compressed using Lempel-Ziv
compression. If a user were tricked into expanding a specially crafted
archive file with uncompress, it could cause BusyBox to crash or,
potentially, execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user
running BusyBox. (CVE-2006-1168)
The BusyBox DHCP client, udhcpc, did not sufficiently sanitize certain
options provided in DHCP server replies, such as the client hostname.
A malicious DHCP server could send such an option with a specially
crafted value to a DHCP client. If this option's value was saved on
the client system, and then later insecurely evaluated by a process
that assumes the option is trusted, it could lead to arbitrary code
execution with the privileges of that process. Note: udhcpc is not
used on Scientific Linux by default, and no DHCP client script is
provided with the busybox packages. (CVE-2011-2716)
This update also fixes the following bugs :
- Prior to this update, the cp command wrongly returned
the exit code 0 to indicate success if a device ran out
of space while attempting to copy files of more than 4
gigabytes. This update modifies BusyBox, so that in such
situations, the exit code 1 is returned. Now, the cp
command shows correctly whether a process failed.
- Prior to this update, the findfs command failed to check
all existing block devices on a system with thousands of
block device nodes in '/dev/'. This update modifies
BusyBox so that findfs checks all block devices even in
this case.
All users of busybox are advised to upgrade to these updated packages,
which correct these issues.

The truth of Christmas
"For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counselor, The mighty God, the everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace. Of the increase of His government and peace there shall be no end, upon the throne of David, and upon His kingdom, to order it, and to establish it with judgment and with justice from henceforth even for ever. The zeal of the Lord of hosts will perform this."-Isaiah 9:6-7. This prophecy was written by Isaiah some 755 years before the birth of our savior Jesus Christ. You know, the mere birth of Yeshua Ha Mashiach (Jesus Christ) fulfilled 332 prophecies.
In Lee Strobel's book, "The Case for Christ," he points out that the probability of just eight prophecies being fulfilled is one chance in one hundred million billion. Strobel then quotes mathematician Peter Stoner who calculated that the probability of fulfilling 48 prophecies was one chance in a trillion, trillion, trillion, trillion, trillion, trillion, trillion, trillion, trillion, trillion, trillion, trillion, trillion! Think about the probability of fulfilling 332 prophecies. But Jesus did just that. I have heard that the entire state of Texas could be filled six foot deep in silver dollars and ask a blind man to find one special marked dollar and he would have about the same chances in finding it as a person fulfilling just 48 of these prophecies.
The prophecy of Isaiah, however, says that "The zeal of the Lord of hosts will perform this." How fantastic, the miracle of miracles performed by the ZEAL of the God. I do not know the chances of a worldwide flood, but we have seen floods before and they are something we can comprehend. I do not know the chances of changing water into wine, but we have seen that wine is a liquid made up of water and juice, so it is something we can understand. I do not know the chances of a virgin birth, but we see children being born everyday, so perhaps that is possible. But the Lord of Hosts wanted the world to know that His Son's birth, life, death and resurrection was THE miracle. And just His birth fulfilled 332 prophecies given over a span of thousands of years.
We do not know the exact timing of our Savior's birth. It was not during this season. The season before us is entwined with pagan holidays and has been quite tainted by man. However, we can celebrate our Savior any time, any day. So while we spend time with family, exchange gifts, eat good food, feel the warmth and love around us, where ever we are, let us remember the miracle of Jesus Christ, that He was born into this world as performed by the ZEAL of the Lord of Hosts. That "zeal" was for us, that we might have a way to spend eternity with God. Jesus said in John 3:16, "For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believes in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Share Christ with someone today.
Have a Blessed and Powerful Day!

Kick Off Meeting Sunday January 6th at 6:30pm
Building bridges between our divisions
I reach out to you won't you reach out to me?
With all of our voices and all of our visions
Friends we could make such sweet harmony.
From Hymn #1023 in the Singing the Living Tradition, Supplement
FAQs : Before Building Bridges: from the Sunnyhill Board
1. What is the Bridgebuilder process and why are we doing it?
Anxiety and conflict exist in all systems, and of course churches are no exception. The Bridgebuilder process was created by Peter Steinke, a well-known church consultant and author of several books on church conflict. After working with hundreds of churches experiencing the effects of conflict, Steinke created a process for assisting churches in working through their anxiety and moving in the directions they want, toward health and growth. The process was recommended to our church by Rev. Joan VanBecelaere, the District Executive (DE) of the Ohio Meadville District of the UUA, after meeting with our board of trustees and staff.
The process may look familiar at first. It begins with a congregational meeting and a dialogue led by Richard Speck, the consultant we will be working with. He is the DE for the Joseph Priestley District and has been trained in conducting the Bridgebuilding Program. Interviews and written surveys are part of the process as well. However, unlike Sunnyhill's previous experience, this process is on-going and will continue to involve the congregation in meaningful and essential ways over several months. It will also include an action plan, written by members of the congregation and presented to the entire congregation for implementation.
2. Didn't we just go through a process like this with Tom Chulak and Jean Crane? I've given my comments on our situation several times over the past few years. Why should I do it again
if nothing seems to change?
The issues we are grappling with have developed over time. Levels of awareness of these issues have also changed over time. At different stages, the board, the staff, and the congregation have taken various action steps in response to these issues.
The Bridgebuilding process is the next phase, a phase that will empower the congregation to identify and to address critical issues so that we can become a healthy congregation with a healthy ministry.
The BB process will build on input, comments and perceptions that have emerged at earlier stages.
These will inform the Bridge Building process at all steps.
We sincerely hope that everyone in the congregation will engage fully in the BB process in the spirit of love and hope.
3. Why shouldn't we call a congregational meeting to vote on whether or not to retain the minister before we embark on a new process?
The board carefully considered this option. We concluded that in the long run, regardless of the outcome, such a vote taken at this time would be more disruptive to the fabric of the congregation. No matter how the vote turned out, the congregation would need to go through a healing process such as that offered through the BB program. Embarking on the BB will enable the congregation to address the question of retaining the minister, to deal with any other issues we as a congregation identify, and to begin the critical process of healing.
4. Why can't we facilitate the BB or some other healing process amongst ourselves?
It is true that within our congregation we have talented, experienced people with strong facilitation skills. As members of the congregation, some of these people may have already developed strong feelings and opinions about our current situation, while others may not have. However, it is very likely that no one is truly perceived by all others as being completely neutral. The benefit of the BB process is that it brings in an outside neutral facilitator to act as a non-anxious presence within a very anxious congregation.
5. As a representative of the UUA, won't the facilitator be biased toward the minister?
The facilitator is clear on his role of serving the congregation, with the goal of having a healthy congregation with a healthy ministry.
6. What will this cost Sunnyhill?
Sunnyhill's cost for the BB program will be $1,000. All other costs, including the balance of the facilitator's fee ($2,000) and his travel and lodging expenses,will be covered by the OMD and the UUA. In addition, the OMD District Executive will be involved in this process with no cost to the congregation. This demonstrates the OMD's and the UUA's support of and commitment to our congregation during these difficult times.
The UUCSH Board of Trustees hopes to see ALL Sunnyhill Members and Friends at the Kick Off Meeting Sunday January 6th at 6:30 pm
Childcare will be Provided.

Cabrera hustles for inside-the-park homer
By Jeremy Warnemuende / MLB.com
Venable makes strides in return from injury
MILWAUKEE -- Padres outfielder Will Venable's gradual return from a tight right oblique continued Friday in Milwaukee.After hitting off a tee early in the day, Venable, who hasn't played since he injured the muscle in his first at-bat Sunday against Arizona, went through his regular routine at Miller Park. "I'm going to treat the rest of the day like a normal day," he said. "Take batting practice, run around and shag and throw." The 29-year-old said he felt good after his work with the batting tee and was "encouraged by my process." Still, the pain isn't completely gone. "But I can do everything," he said. "I just got to see how far I can go without putting myself at risk for doing something worse to it. That's really the only issue right now. It's not about tolerating the pain or not being able to do any movements. It's about making sure that I don't go out there and hurt myself more seriously." Before the injury, Venable was batting .268 with 12 RBIs and four home runs, including a .307 average and three homers in his last 23 games. His .451 slugging percentage also led San Diego. Although he said he feels ready to go, Venable didn't know when he might be back in the lineup. He said that's up to the coaches and training staff. Manager Bud Black also wasn't sure on an exact return, but he said Venable is "getting closer." "We want him back in there," Black said. "But we're going to make sure the side is ready to go. He's starting to pass some tests that gets him closer to action."
Thayer ready to transition out of closer's role
MILWAUKEE -- After filling in for right-hander Huston Street while he was on the disabled list, Dale Thayer has fond memories of his five appearances as a closer."It was fun," he said. "I wasn't expecting to be put in that position, but it's pretty much the same. When I was out there for an inning, it was just about going out there and getting three outs." In those five opportunities, Thayer was perfect, collecting five saves. Pitching one inning in each appearance, he allowed six hits and registered six strikeouts. Thayer said he liked how batters were more aggressive when trailing in the ninth inning, making it easier to get guys to chase, hence the six strikeouts. Thayer isn't needed as a closer anymore and hasn't been as sharp since his last save on May 19. But he said that's not because he needs to make any adjustments when switching roles. "No, not at all," Thayer said. "I'm not worried if it's a save situation or not, it's just about doing my job and getting outs."
Short hops
Padres outfielder Mark Kotsay made his first trip back to Milwaukee as an opposing player Friday since last season's one-year stint with the Brewers. Kotsay, who beat Milwaukee with a walk-off homer in the second game of the team's first series this season, said playing with the NLDS champion Brewers last year was "pretty special.""Milwaukee and the fans, the organization, they'll always have a special place in my career," he said. Friday's starter for the Padres, Edinson Volquez, shut the Brewers out through seven innings on May 1. San Diego pitching has held Milwaukee scoreless in the last 18 innings played between the two clubs entering Friday. San Diego pitcher Micah Owings, who is on the 60-day disabled list with a right forearm strain, started at first base for the Triple-A Tucson Padres on Friday night. Owings pitched in six games with San Diego this season before getting hurt. The right-hander is a career .283 hitter in 219 Major League plate appearances.

Please remember to follow the manual of style and code of conduct at all times.
Check BNN and Bulbanews for up-to-date Pokémon news and discuss it on the forums or in the Bulbagarden Discord server.
0 ERROR is a term used to refer to a glitch in Generation I of the Pokémon games. The glitch causes the entirety of Route 6 to be filled with glitchy effects. It is named after the 0 ERROR box that may pop up if the player opens the menu in Route 6 while the glitch is active, or the game may just crash if the menu is opened.
Performing the glitch
The player must approach the Bug Catcher on Route 6 and pause the game when he notices the player, then use Fly or Teleport to return to Vermilion City, as if performing the Mew glitch. The player must walk east to Route 11 and battle any Trainer. The Trainer must walk towards the player. After defeating the Trainer, the player must return to Vermilion City and speak to any NPC besides the man with a Machop. The player must then return to Route 6. When the player enters Route 6, a message will appear, usually something that one of the Trainers on Route 6 says before they are battled. After the player completes these steps, the "0 ERROR" glitch will be active. The game should not be saved while performing the 0 ERROR glitch.
Effects of the 0 ERROR glitch
- The player and NPCs move very slowly.
- Random, glitchy noises can occur.
- The sprites of Trainers on the route will flicker and may teleport around.
- Player may be forced to battle Trainers continuously.
- Text may become glitched.
- The player may be unable to open the menu.
- Game freezes are likelier to occur.
