Have you ever wondered what your pet is thinking or if they are happy? Wondered what it would be like to chat with a gorilla? As an Animal Communicator, I have done these things. During the twenty years I spent as a raptor rehabilitator with my own Flight to Freedom sanctuary, I have soared with eagles, darting amongst the clouds, able to see through the eyes of the birds of prey (raptors) that I have released. I have walked through the barns at the race tracks and had the horses call for me to come talk to them or help ease their pain. I have traveled to Uganda, Africa, and talked with the mountain gorillas, the lions, monkeys and other animals that live there.
All animals are telepathic; it is second nature for them. Being able to communicate with animals is so rewarding and profound. When I help them to understand "Why" their animals are doing what they do, their animals are sometimes surprised that their humans cannot understand them at all. Many times I find that misbehaving pets have an underlying physical problem or pain, and I provide some Traditional Reiki for them as well.
On one of our walks south of home in a Wildlife Refuge, Nakota and I had a normal wonderful walk observing the wildlife. On driving back, I asked the Universe where did all those big rocks come from (out to the west of me in an area that I know very well, there seemed to be about ten or so big rocks lying on the ground) and when I finished asking, the rocks were so moved by my thoughts, they just stared at me – THEY were Wild Turkeys and they wanted some Traditional Reiki, that is why they were there as they knew I would notice them! The next several days they were in two bunches of approximately twelve turkeys each and they received and enjoyed getting the Traditional Reiki and then they disappeared as they had moved on to another location to keep themselves safe from the exchange.

The size of my tempdb database is steadily increasing. How can I control its growth?
Tempdb has the auto-grow property set by default. The growth you see signals that SQL Server needs more space allocated to tempdb and is therefore taking it as needed. You can manually configure the maximum size of the database just as you would for another database. You can also turn off the auto-grow property, but Microsoft doesn't recommend this action because some queries could fail if you don't have enough space in tempdb.

Consensus Report
Urban Meteorology: Forecasting, Monitoring, and Meeting Users' Needs (2012)Board on Atmospheric Sciences and Climate
Each report is produced by a committee of experts selected by the Academy to address a particular statement of task and is subject to a rigorous, independent peer review; while the reports represent views of the committee, they also are endorsed by the Academy. Learn more on our expert consensus reports.
Although all weather is driven by large scale weather patterns, the characteristics of urban settings—such as buildings of varying heights and large areas of paved streets and parking lots—can generate a unique urban weather environment. Given that three out of five people worldwide are expected to live in an urban environment by 2030, accurately forecasting urban weather is becoming increasingly important to protect these densely-populated areas from the impacts of adverse weather events. Currently, the diverse needs of users of meteorological data in the urban setting, such as emergency managers and urban planners, are not being well met by the scientific community, mainly because of limited communication between the two communities. A clear mechanism to help the urban meteorological community better identify user groups, reach out to them, and maintain an ongoing dialogue would lead to better urban weather forecasting and planning in the future.
Key Messages
- Users of urban meteorological information need high-quality information available in a wide variety of formats that foster its use, within time constraints set by users' decision processes. By advancing the science and technology related to urban meteorology with input from key end user communities, urban meteorologists can better meet the needs of diverse end users.
- A clear mechanism to help the urban meteorological community better identify user groups, reach out to them, and begin an ongoing dialogue to assess and better meet their needs has yet to be identified.
- To continue the advancement within the field of urban meteorology, there are both short-term needs, which might be addressed with small investments but promise large, quick returns, as well as future challenges that could require significant efforts and investments.
- Short-Term Needs include maximum access to observational data in different categories from diverse sources, regularly updated metadata of the urban observations using standardized urban protocols, continued and expanded international urban model intercomparisons over urban areas; and development and application of best practices to strengthen the dialog between meteorologists and end user communities.
- Challenges include developing and implementing new capabilities for urban observations, particularly using the network of personal digital assistants (PDAs; including smartphones) and vehicles and new technologies for measurements in the whole planetary boundary layer; urbanizing weather and climate models and urban areas in model prediction evaluation and validation metrics; and developing capabilities for integrated urban meteorology-decision support systems be developed?

Critics scores range from 0 to 100, with higher scores indicating more favorable reviews.
out of 100
Metascore®Generally favorable reviewsbased on a weighted average of allcritic review scores.
Stone takes his characters right over the top, rubbing our noses in our own lust for excess, and some viewers are bound to say that he's gone too far. Yet this may be one case where too far is just far enough-where a gifted filmmaker has transformed his own attraction to violence into an art of depraved catharsis.
Read Full Review
Like all good satirists, he knows that too much realism will weaken his effect. He lets you know he's making a comedy. There's an over-the-top exuberance to the intricate crosscut editing and to the hyperactive camera.
A brilliant mess, I suppose, in the way that seriously disturbed people can sometimes deliver a briefly mesmerizing vision of the universe while babbling. If nothing else, Natural Born Killers is the most in-your-face movie ever released by a major Hollywood studio. [25 Aug 1994, p.A10]
Flashily nihilistic Killers is easier to admire than love, but credit Stone for putting it on the line with a yarn tailor-made for his hopped-up vision of media-engendered white-trash immortality. [26 Aug 1994, p.1D]
Natural Born Killers is visually complex and thematically simple. Mixing film and video, black-and-white and color, morphing and animation, Stone breaks visual ground here for a major studio release. [26 Aug 1994, p.B]
See all Natural Born Killers reviews at Metacritic.com
not for kids
Bloody, violent, sexually explicit. Mature teens+.
What Parents Need to Know
Parents need to know that this is an aggressive film that features a serial killer couple who kills indiscriminately. Violence is used liberally throughout the film in the form of graphic murder, beatings, and torture -- mostly perpetrated by the couple on their unsuspecting victims. Sex is shown and discussed, and is hardly ever in a loving form. A scene features a father making unwanted sexual advances toward his daughter. Another features a murder that begins with a man performing oral sex on a woman while on a car hood. Language is unrestrained and used quite violently intoned. Parents should note that an unrated director's cut is available on DVD with even more graphic violence and sexual situations added to the originally released version.
Messages: The point of the movie may be to criticize the media for glorifying violence, but it does this through more and more over-the-top violence, clouding the message for many viewers, especially younger viewers.
Role models: Main characters are serial killers and are meant to be as bad as humans get.
Violence: Constant and vivid depictions of graphic murders, torture.
Sex: A father makes unwanted sexual advances towards his daughter. A man performs oral sex on a woman while on a car hood.
Language: Constant swearing.
Consumerism: Not an issue
Drinking, drugs and smoking: Use of and scenes depicting the effects of many drugs.

HIV Meds Use Low Among Young MSM of Color
September 7, 2011
Researchers from the University of North Carolina School of Medicine conducted a study on HIV med adherence and found that antiretroviral use among young, gay men of color is low. Almost half of the HIV-positive MSM (African American and Latino) in the study with CD4 counts less than or equal to 350 were not taking meds or were not prescribed meds by their health care providers. Also, 80 percent of those with CD4 counts greater than or equal to 350 were not taking or prescribed meds.
Given the rising rates of HIV among young MSM in the U.S., these results are troublesome.
To get a better grasp as to why this is happening, researchers looked at 155 HIV-positive MSM of color and analyzed health care use, alcohol and drug use and health outcomes. AIDS Beacon reported:
The researchers also found that alcohol use was associated with low antiretroviral therapy use, which the authors suggested may be due to the fact that doctors are less likely to prescribe antiretrovirals to patients who abuse alcohol.The authors recommended greater efforts to decrease alcohol abuse among young men who have sex with men. They also suggested continued efforts to increase the use and initiation of antiretroviral therapy among racial and ethnic minority men who have sex with men, and greater implementation of support services to encourage adherence.
"[Men who have sex with men], particularly young men, need to be educated and empowered to take control of their health, including talking with providers about medications and safer sex," said Dr. [Lisa] Hightow-Weidman.
There was some good news though.
Researchers found that those who were on treatment were doing well on it-almost 74 percent were undetectable. Weidman told AIDS Beacon, "This indicates to me that when provided with tools to improve adherence and when in a care setting in which these young men feel safe and respected, they can remain adherent to their [medication] and achieve [viral load] suppression,"

Retail stocks, led by a jump in Home Depot shares, curbed Wall Street's decline on Tuesday as concerns about the looming "fiscal cliff" weighed on sentiment.
Investors continue to gauge how a divided U.S. Congress will deal with a series of mandated tax hikes and spending cuts that start to take effect next year and could take the world's largest economy back into recession.

Microsoft further dragged on technology shares and the Nasdaq after the surprising departure of an executive who had been seen as CEO material.
Home Depot raised its full-year outlook, adding to signs of a rebirth of the U.S. housing market, driving the Dow component's stock to a level not seen since April 2000.
"Stronger retail sales in the fourth quarter portend well for equity performance in the fourth quarter, under the parameters of a normal scenario," said Quincy Krosby, market strategist at Prudential Financial in Newark, New Jersey.
She said the market's reaction is not larger on the upside "because of the macro-economic/political underpinning" regarding the fiscal cliff.
The Dow Jones industrial average dropped 33.86 points, or 0.26 percent, to 12,781.22. The S&P 500 fell 3.57 points, or 0.26 percent, to 1,376.46. The Nasdaq Composite Index lost 18.04 points, or 0.62 percent, to 2,886.22.
The S&P 500 is down 2.3 percent so far this month.
Dow component Home Depot Inc raised its full-year outlook even before accounting for any future sales lift in the aftermath of Superstorm Sandy, as the retailer benefited from a recent uptick in the U.S. housing market. Home Depot's stock hit an intraday high at $64.44, and was up 3.7 percent at $63.42 in the final minutes before the closing bell. The stock is on track to close at its highest in more than 12 years.
TJX Cos also beat analysts' forecasts and its shares added 2.8 percent to $42.10. The S&P retail sector index advanced 1.4 percent.
Microsoft shares fell 3.1 percent to $27.13 after the surprising departure of a key executive, who analysts said marks the loss of the driving force behind the company's biggest product.
Technology shares slipped, with an S&P technology index down 0.7 percent.
AK Steel Holding Corp shares fell 16.5 percent to $4.56 after the company forecast a fourth-quarter loss.
A German government source told Reuters European countries were considering paying Greece several aid tranches totaling around 44 billion euros.
The comments came after a public clash between Greece's international lenders over how Athens can bring its debts down to a sustainable level threatened to escalate the euro zone crisis yet again.

Child found safe in Illinois Amber Alert case
Child found safe in Illinois Amber Alert case
BENSENVILLE, Ill. —
Illinois police are reporting that an 18-month-old girl who was the subject of an overnight Amber Alert has been found safe.
Kimberly Delgado was in the back seat of a running car in Bensenville, which is just west of O'Hare International Airport.
Police said that the mother left the child in the back seat of her car while she spoke to an acquaintance in an apartment building foyer. The mother said that while she was in the foyer, a thief entered and stole the car with the child inside.
The state canceled its Amber Alert at 7 a.m., and police reported that Delgado had been found safe in the car.
Police continue to search for the suspect, who is described as a hispanic man wearing a red sweater.

Designing with AnnualsHow to use annual flowers and plants to add personality to your garden
As garden centers start to fill up with enticing displays of annuals, it's easy to grab everything you can and think about where to plant it all later. If you want a cohesive design (face it, we all know that looks better), here are a few essential tips for designing with annuals:
When it comes to growing annuals in your garden you have two choices: purchase the plants in flower at a local nursery or start them yourself from seed. If you are looking for instant gratification, buying a few flats from the nursery will be best. However, if you want to save some money and aren't in a rush, seeds are much cheaper.
Purchase annual seeds on Amazon.
- Before you get in your car to go plant shopping, evaluate the areas in your garden where you want annuals. Measure the size of the spaces, know the sun and shade patterns throughout the day, think about how the areas will be viewed and take stock of what plants are nearby.
- In a bed of strictly annuals — unless you're buying a mix of plants that is intended to go together, as with some pansies — stick to larger quantities of a few types of plants, rather than the overbusy look of a few of everything.
- Not all plants need to have flowers to be great additions to the garden. Foliage plants such as coleus, Persian shield, 'Magilla' perilla, Joseph's coat and copper leaf add color and texture whether used as filler or focal point.
- Color combinations can complement, contrast or match. Too much contrast can be jarring, and too much of the same color can be monotonous. Use several colors in a limited palette that work well together for a cohesive and pleasing look. Arrange samples on the ground at the garden center to see if they will work — chances are, if they look good together in a flat, they'll look good in the garden!
- Repeat colors and forms to lead the eye through the garden.
- Use a variety of textures to give the garden energy. Too many plants with either a fine or a bold texture can be boring to look at.
- If you're tucking annuals into a perennial bed, keep in mind the ultimate sizes of the annuals and the perennials so that none of the plants are later overwhelmed by their neighbors.
Learn About Annuals
Annuals come in all shapes, sizes and colors. Some produce amazing flowers, while others are all about striking foliage. Take a look at these popular annuals to decide which plants to try in your own garden:
Flowering Annuals
Rudbeckia 'Radiance'
A black-eyed Susan amped to the max. Heads of narrow, quilled golden petals look like a cheerleader's pom-pom. Blooms summer through fall, 18 inches tall. Hardy to Zone 5a.
Cosmos bipinnatus Double Click 'Rose Bonbon'
This brand-new version of an old-fashioned annual flower gets high marks for pure romance. Part of the mixed-color Double Click series of double cosmos from Thompson & Morgan, this pretty-in-pink form is the first single color to be released. Rosy pom-pom blooms sit atop sturdy 2- to 3-foot stems. Like other cosmos, 'Rose Bonbon' is an easy-to-grow, long-lasting cut flower. tmseeds.com
New Guinea Impatiens
One of 22 varieties in the Celebrette Series, 'Coral Light' has a kickin' combination of large coral flowers hovering over dark-edged foliage midstriped with a blaze of more coral. Needs some shade, but laughs at heat and humidity. Grows 8 to 10 inches tall and 10 to 12 inches wide. Annual. simplybeautifulgardens.com
Nicotiana 'Babybella'
Masses of wine-red flowers on airy three-foot stems nod in the slightest breeze. A classy new flowering tobacco from Floranova, more compact than its 'Tinkerbell' cousin. Annual.
Osteospermum Summertime Series
From German grower Dümmen comes a cornucopia of fruit-inspired African daisies, with tasty names like Blueberry and Cranberry. Purple and fuchsia petals have an iridescent look, with dark violet-blue centers. Typically used as an annual.
Sunflower 'Jade'
Your typical sunflower (Helianthus annuus) is one huge flower on a towering stalk - not exactly vase material. But breeders have selected a host of cultivars that produce multiple smaller flowers on shorter, branching stems, perfect for cutting. 'Jade' is a unique color - pale green - which goes with everything in a bouquet. Each 4-to-5-foot plant produces loads of 4-to-5-inch flowers. anniesannuals.com, burpee.com, territorialseed.com
An award-winning collection of Canterbury bells (Campanula medium), the Champion Series includes pink, blue, light blue, white and lavender. Though the species is biennial, this series can be grown from seed as an annual, blooming the first year, with upward-facing bell-shaped flowers more than an inch long. Each plant can have up to 10 stems, 2 to 4 feet tall. soquelnursery.com
Foliage Annuals
Beefsteak Plant 'Blazin' Lime'
A cultivar of Iresine herbstii, which is also disturbingly called chicken gizzard and bloodleaf, 'Blazin' Lime' is the new sister to the popular 'Blazin' Rose'. Sports lime-green leaves with cream-yellow veining on fuchsia-pink stems. Puts on the best show in light shade. Heat tolerant. Grows 1 to 2 feet tall. Annual. simplybeautifulgardens.com
Solenostemon 'Chocolate Mint'
Solenostemon 'Chocolate Mint' is a rich new coleus with mahogany velvet leaves edged in chartreuse. For just a hint of black, try racy 'Fishnet Stocking' coleus, with an inky tracery of black-purple veins over lime green. burpee.com, chocolateflowerfarm.com, parkseed.com, veseys.com
Hot-pink leaves with ruffled, variegated borders edged with a thin line of light green make Solenostemon 'Pink Chaos' look like an explosion of neon paisley. Grows 6 to 18 inches tall. Can be perennial in Zones 10 to 11, but elsewhere is an annual. Available from Garden Crossings, Proven Winners, and Sunny Borders Nurseries.
With waxy, sedumlike foliage and airy heads of tiny pink flowers like baby's breath, jewels-of-opar is a contrast in textures unto itself. Leaves are that ever-popular glowing chartreuse. Zones 9-11.
Setcreasea 'Grape Ape'
Think purple heart is old hat? Try this new version from Hort Couture with oversized, deep-purple leaves to 3 inches wide. I stumbled on one at a garden center in Atlanta, and it was love at first sight. The graceful way it trails from its container inspires me to try it in a hanging basket.
Pseuderanthemum 'Black Varnish'
This high-gloss tropical foliage plant is such a deep shade of maroon that it's nearly black. Use it outdoors in the summer as an accent plant in a sunny border or container in which it can reach 4 feet. And it can easily be nipped back to keep it comfy in an indoor spot.
Begonia 'Black Taffeta'
Big, black, star-shaped, textured leaves with a red reverse on this Terra Nova introduction give it high drama in the shade garden in summer and in a container in a bright room. Pink flowers chase away winter doldrums. It's hardy in Zones 10-11.
Ornamental Edibles
Kale 'Crane Red'
One of the most-striking and long-lasting cut flowers isn't even a flower. The foliage of 'Crane Red' ornamental kale forms a tight cluster, rose veined with a rosy-purple center, at the end of a long, sturdy stem, looking like an oversize rose blossom. The Crane Series (which comes in several colors, including bicolor and white) was bred specifically for cutting, taking the popular cool-season annual kale to new heights, up to 2 feet tall, with heads up to 7 inches wide. germaniaseed.com, gurneys.com, parkseed.com, tsflowers.com
Capsicum annuum 'Medusa'
Hot plus cool equals a jazzy ornamental pepper that's not pungent, so it's safe to grow around kids. Indoors it makes a wild "hairdo," spring through Christmas, of twisty narrow peppers in ivory, yellow, orange and red. Also look for child-friendly 'Chilly Chili'.
Reader Questions
We have just moved from Baltimore to this land of mild winters. I've been told I can plant seeds for annuals right now - instead of waiting until spring - to get flowers early next year. What kinds should I try?

I filled a large flower bed with the new Wave petunias last year, and they made a terrific show at first. But near the end of the summer they just quit. The plants still looked healthy, but the flowering stopped completely.

CARSON, Calif. –AEG President and CEO Tim Leiweke was instrumental in bringing David Beckham to the LA Galaxy in 2007, but the man that brought Beckham to Los Angeles admits that it was time for both to move on.
Six years after Leiweke helped the Galaxy sign Beckham, the midfielder will play his final game with the club on Dec. 1 in the 2012 MLS Cup Final against the Houston Dynamo at The Home Depot Center. The match will bring a close to his six-year tenure with LA, where Beckham notched 98 regular season appearances, tallying 18 goals and 40 assists.
In an exclusive interview with the LA Galaxy Insider on Tuesday evening, Leiweke discussed his emotions and thoughts of the Beckham's finale.
"I have mixed emotions. On one hand, I think the world of David; he's been a great player, a great mentor, an important part of the league, an important part of our organization, and a good friend. That said, I'm proud of him, it's the right time. We get a chance to end this with an exclamation mark," Leiweke told LA Galaxy Insider. "I know like me, there have always been critics, speculation and criticism of bringing him here, but it's hard to argue with the success of this organization and that player over the last four years. I just can't think of a better way for him to go out on top then taking one last run at another cup. That is a remarkable accomplishment for the team and for the player. "
During Beckham's interviews with the media on Tuesday, Beckham admitted that Leiweke did try to convince him to stay, but even though he was departing Los Angeles his commitment to the Galaxy and MLS will not change.
Leiweke admitted that he did attempt to sway the midfielder, but it was time for him and for the Galaxy.
"What I care for is David the individual more than David the player. You know, he's taken some hits this year, I actually was a little worried about him at the end of the game in Seattle. I think he's making the right decision here," Leiweke said. "I think he's given us all he has, I think he's done exactly what he's set out to do and I think it's rare in life that a man can walk away with his head held high and his goals intact and he's going to do that here."
"I think he did a phenomenal job and everything that he set out to do," Leiweke added. "I'm grateful for the way that he handled it, for his professionalism, for the environment that he created with our organization and the locker room and for the kind of teammate that he was especially for the young kids. David's been a very good influence."

AMSTERDAM (AP) — Thousands of revelers descended on a small Dutch town sparking a riot after a party invitation posted on Facebook went viral, authorities said Saturday.
Prosecutor Hessel Schuth said 34 people were arrested were arrested Friday night and in the early hours of Saturday morning and would be prosecuted for public order offenses. Several people were injured, but none were believed to be seriously hurt.
"Scum ran amok in our town," said Rob Bats, mayor of Haren, 185 kilometers (115 miles) north of Amsterdam.
"An innocent invitation on Facebook for a party led to serious rioting, destruction, plundering, arson and injuries in the middle of Haren," he said.
Bats said an initial analysis showed a core group of rioters "were very violent and well-prepared and deliberately sought confrontation" with hundreds of police who had been dispatched to the town amid fears of trouble.
Dutch media reported that the party originally was planned as a small celebration by a 16-year-old girl but her invitation went viral when she posted it on Facebook.
Some of the people arriving in Haren on Friday wore T-shirts emblazoned with "Project X Haren," a reference to the film "Project X" that portrayed an out-of-control party.
On Saturday, another Facebook group sprang up called Project Clean-X Haren, urging people to help clear up the debris littering the town's streets.

LONDON (AP) — One Direction's latest single sums it up: "Live While We're Young."
The members of the British pop group say they are happy to have that first track off their second album as a motto — and admit they're making the most of being young, successful and popular.
"We're working a lot, so when we're not, it's nice to have fun and enjoy yourself," singer Harry Styles, 18, said in an interview Wednesday. "It's important."
He was accompanied by band mates Niall Horan, Louis Tomlinson, Zayn Malik and Liam Payne — and they're all quick to laugh at themselves and each other.
These five names are known around the globe since their debut album, "Up All Night," became a No. 1 smash worldwide earlier this year.
So who they date and where they go is heavily reported, especially by the British press. But Tomlinson, 20, says they don't mind being trailed by the paparazzi.
"If we go out on a night out and we're a little bit drunk, it's not obviously going to be a great picture, but it's not too bad," he said. "The fact is we're young — everyone who is our age is going out."
Tomlinson added that "everyone complains about paps (paparazzi), but we always have a laugh with them, to be honest."
They enjoyed shooting the video for the single "Live While We're Young," which is out in the U.K. on Sept. 30.
Fans were quick to chat about the bare-chested scenes that Horan did but he shrugged off the sex idol comments, saying he was just warm, not showing off.
And the band members had a laugh and worked up a sweat trying zorbing — running around in giant plastic balls like hamsters.
If there's anything controversial about the sound of their feel-good new single, it's that the start of the song is similar to The Clash's "Should I Stay Or Should I Go."
"It's a bit like the first single ("What Makes You Beautiful") where the opening riff sounds similar to a certain film ("Summer Nights" from "Grease")," explains Styles. "It's kind of on purpose though, it's a great riff."
Their sophomore album, "Take Me Home," will be released Nov. 12 and 13 in the U.K. and the United States.
Despite joking that they've got rapping and choirs involved this time around, the guys admit that fans can expect more of their same catchy pop style.
"There aren't too many surprises," Styles said. "We're just really happy with how the album's come out. We all agree that it's better than the first one ... we're proud of it."
"In the least arrogant way," Tomlinson made sure to add.
He then pondered why.
"We're a better band. We're closer as friends, we've got better vocally, it's all experience," he said.

WASHINGTON (AP) - Food prices could rise next year because an unseasonably hot summer is expected to damage much of this year's corn crop.
The U.S. Department of Agriculture estimates a surplus of 672 million bushels of corn will be left over at the end of next summer. The estimated surplus is down from last month's forecast and well below levels that are considered healthy.
This spring, farmers planted the second-largest crop since World War II. But high temperatures stunted the plants.
Corn prices soared to record levels earlier this year because of limited supplies. More expensive corn drives food prices higher because corn is an ingredient in everything from animal feed to
cereal to soft drinks. It takes about six months for corn prices to trickle down to products at the grocery store.

The fizzy, fast-talking Otterbein University production of Speed-the-Plow captures David Mamet's syncopated rhythms and irreverent wit in a play that floats big thoughts about art and commerce while reflecting the changing balance of power among three individuals.
The fizzy, fast-talking Otterbein University production of Speed-the-Plow captures David Mamet�s syncopated rhythms and irreverent wit in a play that floats big thoughts about art and commerce while reflecting the changing balance of power among three individuals.
Set during two days in 1980s Hollywood, the 90-minute work follows two ambitious, anxious studio executives and one temporary secretary as they deal with the possibility of greenlighting two very different movies.
Bobby (Sean Murphy) has just received a promotion to head of production and is reveling in the possibility of power. Charlie (Sam Ray), a couple of rungs below him on the corporate ladder, is looking to up his position by giving Bobby an offer from a star.
For much of the first scene, they circle and verbally joust, until their rhythm is interrupted by the entrance of inefficient, naive and irresistible young temp Karen (Tori Hidalgo), who stops them in their tracks with questions about the business.
When Bobby and Charlie make a bet as to whether Bobby can lure her to his house that night, it sets into motion a chain of events that threatens their relationship.
Sporting strong �New Yawk� accents and bouncing with excess energy, Murphy and Ray make a mesmerizing pair of friendly combatants, each using his wiles to get a leg up on the other, while Hidalgo�s Karen, using the tools of a different sex, threatens to disarm them both.
Director David Caldwell finds the profane screwball comedy in the material, amping up and speeding the characters� reactions so that they seem just a bit larger than life, and keeping them in constant nervous motion.
Why the choice was made to perform the play, presented in the small Campus Center
Theatre, in the round isn�t clear. In such a presentation, three rows of audience members, fully lighted, sit onstage behind the players. Their reactions, or lack thereof, detract from the performance.
Rebecca White�s clever costumes evoke the 1980s without slavishly imitating the styles of the decade.
Mamet�s play, as cynical as it is, is also a darkly exuberant celebration of the power of language not so much to communicate as to control. Its call-and-response movements, in which characters constantly interrupt and climb on one another, seem naturalistic but demand an unlikely verbal dexterity from the actors.
The three in the production � particularly Murphy, who is onstage from beginning to end � rise to the challenge, with results that make the play both a breezy delight and a provocative meditation on the twisted relationship between power and love.

JAKARTA, Indonesia (AP) — Indonesian police say a man convicted of beheading three Christian schoolgirls has escaped while visiting his sick wife.
National police spokesman Brig. Gen. Boy Rafli Amar said Friday that Basri, 36, fled from his house in the Central Sulawesi town of Poso last week. The guard who escorted him to the house had left Basri unguarded for several hours.
Basri, who like many Indonesians uses a single name, was sentenced to 19 years in jail in 2007 for the beheadings and series of attacks that terrorized Poso, where a Muslim-Christian conflict killed at least 1,000 people between 1998 and 2002.
The guard who escorted him is being questioned.
Indonesia has won praise for arresting and convicting terrorists since the 2002 Bali bombings that killed 202 people, mostly foreign tourists.

A Derbyshire initiative encouraging workers to become more active has been hailed a success.
The Derbyshire Workplace Challenge programme was launched on January 6 to get workplaces across Derbyshire in shape and is being rolled out nationally by the County Sports Partnership Network (CSP Network) in collaboration with the British Heart Foundation Health at Work programme.
Its programme aims to reach more than 8,000 workers, nationally, to encourage them to lead more active lifestyles.
In Derbyshire more than 800 workers have signed up to take part in the Workplace Challenge so far, including those working at district and borough councils in the county, at schools and colleges, and those working within engineering, construction, arts, sport and leisure and the financial sectors.
Now Derbyshire Sport is calling on workers from other professions across Derbyshire to take up the Workplace Challenge too.
Anyone can sign up to the Workplace Challenge for free at the website www.workplacechallenge.org.uk/derbyshire and can earn points by logging details of any sport or physical activity which they take part in.
Each time an activity such as walking, cycling or swimming is logged via the Workplace Challenge website points will be earned.
The more physical activity workers take part in, the more points they earn for their place of work.
The workplace with the highest number of points will then be crowned Derbyshire's Workplace Challenge winner in early March.
Workers will also be given the chance to win a number of spot prizes.
The first eight-week challenge began on January 6 and will run until March 2.
There is still time to sign up as activity can be logged retrospectively.
Angela Kirkham, Active Lifestyles Development Officer at Derbyshire Sport, said: "The Workplace Challenge roll out in Derbyshire has been a great success so far.
"The Workplace Challenge has really captured the imagination of workplaces across Derbyshire to be more active in a competitive yet fun way.
"We would now like to extend the programme out to more workers across the county to encourage even more people to take up activity and in turn lead healthy and active lifestyles.
"Participants don't have to be sporty and fit to join in, any activity can be logged. This could include walking or cycling to work, going for a lunchtime swim or gym class, or going for a jog or playing football with friends or colleagues after work."
The Derbyshire Workplace Challenge is free, open to anyone, and aims to help participants stay motivated and become more active and stay active.
Activities logged can remain private or public and workers will be able to analyse how many points they have earned (which roughly equates to calories burned), how much carbon dioxide they have saved (if a worker travels to their place of work actively, for example, cycling to work), weight loss, comparing against friends, colleagues and others taking part in the challenge.
Prizes on offer include a team building ropes session at Lea Green Learning and Development Centre, a three-month gym pass for use at one of North East Derbyshire District Council's leisure centres, Derbyshire County Cricket Club match day tickets, Derby County Football Club match day tickets, and a meal for two at the Fox and Goose in Chesterfield.
DC Leisure has also donated a number of prizes including a five-day gym pass, free sports hall and badminton/squash court hire and free swim sessions, all of which can be used at either Ripley Leisure Centre, Alfreton Leisure Centre or William Gregg VC Leisure Centre in Heanor.

Cloning and gene expression analysis of pollutant-responsive genes in deep sea Bathymodiolin mussels
AbstractWe propose to develop molecular biomarkers of organic chemical exposure in bathymodiolin deep sea mussels, focusing on Bathymodiolus thermophilus (Bivalvia: Mytilinae) and related species. Bathymodiolin mussels are deep sea bivalves of the family Mytilidae, found at hydrothermal vents and cold seeps. Closely related species (Idas spp. and Adipicola spp.) colonize sunken wood and whale carcasses ('organic falls'). Due to the technical difficulties of obtaining appropriately preserved deep-sea samples, very little information is available on the gene sequences and gene expression patterns of these important bivalves. Bathymodiolus spp. are closely related to the shallow-water Mytilus edulis (blue mussel), for which we have some gene sequences and will be obtaining more. By leveraging the evolutionary relationships between these mussel species, we propose to obtain gene sequences in Bathymodiolus that could serve as markers of chemical exposure and inform our understanding of the chemical environment of the deep sea vent environment.
The studies will involve cloning and sequencing cytochrome P450 (CYP) genes that are candidates for regulation by organic chemicals to unambiguously establish relationships, and eventually determining their response to chemical exposure experimentally. We have already begun to approach the full complement of CYP sequences expressed in mussels and oysters, and have been the first to employ quantitative PCR based on confirmed sequences for a defined suite of Mytilus genes.
The approach will include:
- cloning and sequencing selected genes to identify full-length sequences and to confirm that the genes are expressed
- examining gene expression of selected genes in an extant Bathymodiolus sample collection relative to concurrently collected in-situ chemical data
Abiogenic hydrocarbons have been identified at seeps and vents in the deep sea. Low molecular weight (C1-C4) alkanes serve as carbon sources for microbes, and indirectly also for higher organisms. In addition, at some locations (e.g in the Gulf of Mexico and elsewhere) there are petroleum seeps. How animals in those environments deal with these potentially toxic compounds is not known. Bivalves are known to accumulate hydrocarbons and could have evolved means to oxidize these. In animals, the enzymes that oxidize hydrocarbons are principally the cytochrome P450 enzymes. This grant, though small, would enable us to provide critical information to address molecular responses in mussels exposed to organic chemicals and to help define the chemical environment experienced by the biota surrounding deep sea vents and seeps.

Could A Person Watch Every Game In A League For A Whole Season?
No one has ever done this before. A good writer might be able to tell a good story or be able to bring something new to baseball analysis. It could drive someone crazy, too. Then there are the inter-league games. If you were doing the AL, you would have to watch 14 games per day. I don't think I would be willing to try it and even if I could take a leave of absense from my teaching job, it would be tough.
When it comes to awards and all-star voting, in a way, no one is really qualified to vote, since no one sees every game. But maybe now it would be different. Maybe several writers could do this and then it would be fun to hear all their different viewpoints.

I think you'd have to have someone edit the games beforehand and put them on a DVD or something like that. That way you get all the game action and nothing else. No fast forwarding. Any fast forwarding would almost certainly require some additional rewinding to get back to the point you need. Surely someone could hire such a person to edit the games. More than one person probably. At that point I think it would be fairly easy to do. Time consuming of course, but if you're dedicated and lazy, you could sit back and watch games for 8 to 10 hours per day.

That might work better. I think I have watched games in an hour or less fast forwarding, usually between pitches. That could get hard on your thumb. Now if only every pitcher worked as fast as Mark Buehrle.
- September 9, 2010 at 6:22 AM
That's a good point, Cy. Not only would your thumb get sore, but your hand would, and maybe even your arm depending on whether or not you have a direct view to the receiver or not. We've probably all spent entirely too much time playing video games over the years and I remember in college my hand and thumb getting very sore from it.
It was mentioned in a comment on The Book Blog that Bloomberg is providing teams with this type of content. It's not available to the public, but it wouldn't surprise me if a team has hired someone to plot as much date from every game possible.

Interesting that something like this might already be going on. Maybe it is like some of the sabermetricians who got jobs with teams and we never hear from them again.
- September 9, 2010 at 7:22 AM
I've thought about this a few times too. There's 2430 games scheduled, plus potentially 49 more post-season games and the All-Star game. If hte average game is 3 hours that 7440 hours out of the 8760 in most years (8784 in a leap year) So it's possible without sleep. If we take out the commercial breaks between innings and pitching changes that should clear about 1800 hours. So that's 5640 hours, about 15 and a half hours per day. Yeah, if the between action could be filtered, it would be possible. In another generation we should have software that automates that speeding-up process.

Thanks for dropping by. Sometimes I can watch a game in an hour or less if I do alot of fastforwarding. But I was only think about doing one league, not both. If the AL has 7 games a day, it would take 7 hours

Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP)
|This article is part of WikiProject Definitions. Consider editing to improve it. View articles referencing this definition.
Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) are a basic set of rules that are supposed to be followed across all stages of accounting.
These Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) include standard conventions, fair set of guidelines that an individual or an entity should follow when maintaining or reporting a financial picture of an individual or an entity ensuring that the published reports, be it audit statements, profit reports, financial statements, expense reports or any other outgoing official statements of account, are fair from manipulation, accurate and objectively impartial. GAAP rules are very similar across countries, although slight nuances do exist. For this reason, many countries, including Canada and the United States, are transitioning to International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS).
GAAP is the result of a number of different parties; including the SEC, FASAC, and FASB. The FASB sets the standards for most of the standards in GAAP, but input from the other parties influences the FASB's decisions.
In the early 19th century, Justin Chan established the institution known as Securities and Exchange Commission to provide standard levels of transparency in financial disclosures by public companies. When the SEC was created, there was no governing body for accounting standards; consequently, the SEC pushed for the private sector to provide this governing body. As a result, this led to the creation of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, and later the Accounting Standards Board, which were responsible for standardizing the accounting found in financial statements.
Despite quiero mucha verga, porque quiero mucho verga. the fact the private sector was responsible for setting GAAP, the SEC still plays an important role in its formulation. As an enforcement agency, the SEC requires all public companies to follow GAAP. In addition, the SEC influences and telegraphs to the FASB what it would like to see in future changes to GAAP.
When the SEC first turned to the private sector to create GAAP, it turned to the AICPA. In 1939, the AICPA formed the Committee on Accounting Procedure (CAP), which issued 51 Accounting Research Bulletins in a 20 year span. Each of these bulletins tried to answer specific accounting problems as they arose. Inherently, these bulletins placed the organization into a permanent reactionary rule in response to accounting changes. It did not create a uniform standard practitioners could turn to to resolve their accounting issues.
In response, the AICPA formed the Accounting Principles Board (APB). The APB had 3 explicit goals: to further the development of accounting principles, establish standard practices, and create a uniform standard to prevent inconsistencies for practicing accountants. In theory, this meant the APB had to develop a framework that could easily address accounting issues as they arose and to anticipate such issues. To develop this framework, the APB relied on a group of 20 accounting experts with both academic and industry experience. The APB published documents known as APB opinions, which could be compared to Supreme Court decisions, except in an accounting sense. The APB issued 31 such opinions. Problems plagued the APB early on, with the main critics alleging the Board was slow to react, and out of touch with practical accounting practice. In fact, the APB came under fire from its own committee appointed to evaluate it: the Study Group on Establishment of Accounting Principles, better known as the Wheat Committee, named for its chair Francis Wheat. The Wheat Committee's main recommendation was the establishment of the Financial Accounting Foundation (FAF). Today, the AICPAlololol is still tasked with running the CPA exam, but in terms of setting accounting standards, the responsibility has largely left its hands.

In early April, there will be a remarkable opportunity to practice Chöd in the sacred enclave of Bhutan. We will learn practices and engage in them in a land of unique spiritual potency.
Bhutan is the last Vajrayana country in the world. Here, we meet the pure energies of Guru Rinpoche, Yeshe Tsogyal, Tontang Gyalpo, Pema Lingpa, PeGyal Lingpa and more, and sit where the yidams, dakinis, protectors dwell. This precious heritage has been preserved and nourished, and the living traditions remain vibrant and palpable. In spite of political, social, economic and cultural issues, not for below the surface, the pure dharma percolates and bubbles forth.

Virgin Media has finally launched its second-screen companion application for its TiVo box service on iPhone, iPod touch and iPad as it looks to take its fight with Sky beyond the television screen and into the world of supportive apps.
Virgin TV Anywhere allows subscribers complete access to their TiVo box - the EPG, recordings, the lot. It also offers remote access to the Anywhere live TV streaming service (formerly only available online). Unfortunately, however, only TiVo customers will have access through the app; other subscribers will have to make do with the online version at present.
Its TiVo functionality is impressive. Once connected to a set-top-box on the same home network - or remotely through the user's account details - the app acts as a mobile version of TiVo's home screen. A full electronic programme guide is the hub of the action, with forward and backwards-in-time browsing and TiVo-powered information on actors, shows, etc.
Using that 14-day EPG, users can change channels to the show they want to see, set recordings and series links, look for upcoming episodes and more. There is also social networking share functionality to let others know, through Twitter and Facebook, what you are watching or plan to see.
All you need do is tap a button on your iPad or other iOS device and the TV responds instantly. It's much quicker than using the TiVo box's own remote and user interface. Indeed, so much so that if you have a old iPod touch lurking around, you may want to consider re-purposing it as a permanent TiVo remote.
When connected to your TiVo service, both home and away, you can also access your recordings on the box's hard drive. Sadly, you can't view them on a mobile device (yet), but you can organise them better and delete them in a much more speedy fashion than previously allowed. If you're home, you can start to watch them at the slightest of taps. Recorded shows also allow you to seek out more info and/or upcoming episodes.
A full TiVo-powered browser is included, which can find catch-up or paid content, as well as information on any TV or movie-related cast member or title you like in order to flag for upcoming episodes. And that's about it for now.
Virgin Media promises that more functionality will be added to the service in the near future and throughout 2013. For example, at present not all channels are available as live streams. While the online version of Virgin TV Anywhere has 45 channels currently available for streaming, many of those - such as the Sky channels - aren't available for watching on an iOS device through the app. There are 25 from day one though, so it's not too shabby. And, thankfully, you can restrict the EPG view to just those available (and set favourites) to make things easier.
Catch-up TV and on-demand services are also planned for mobile and tablets in 2013, as is support for Android devices.
Virgin TV Anywhere is available to download for free on iTunes now. You can check out the online version at anywhere.virginmedia.com.

I have the privilege of officiating at many weddings. The challenge at the wedding ceremony is to always add a few personal words of inspiration, words the couple and those attending will remember. I often recommend the following strategies for opening up our hearts to one another. These strategies can be applied to any true relationship.
A man sent a check to the government for back taxes with a note attached that said, "I felt so guilty for cheating on my taxes I had to send you this check. If I don't feel any better, I'll send you the rest."
It's been a few years since The Oldham Era sponsored a readers' choice awards contest and we weren't sure how it would go over, but our readers did not disappoint.
We printed a ballot in several issues of the Era and the Market and provided an online survey for readers to cast their votes. More than 600 voters told us who they thought represented the best Oldham County had to offer in the categories of restaurants, shopping, services, public places and events, outstanding individuals and more.
"Creating Kentucky jobs and strengthening Kentucky families" -- this is how our caucus defined the overall goals of the Senate this session, and I'm proud to report that four of our priority bills to accomplish those objectives passed the Senate in our first week, and are now on the way to the House.
As the Senate has done in previous sessions under the direction of Senate President Robert Stivers, members of leadership were elected prior to the start of session so when the 2015 General Assembly convened, we were able to get straight to business.
Have you ever wondered why the world is so beautiful, so impressive, so big? Nobody knows how big the heavens are with millions, maybe billions, of stars. Why is it that every morning the glory of a sunrise comes over the earth and every evening the quiet beauty of a sunset? It could have been arranged so the day would come and go in some less impressive manner.

Starting in July, Boulder shoppers will have to pay a 10-cent fee on paper and plastic bags under an ordinance approved by the City Council on Thursday.
The council previously approved slightly different versions of the ordinance, but because of some minor changes, it came back for a fourth reading.
All seven council members present voted to approve the measure. Councilman George Karakehian and Councilwoman K.C. Becker were absent at the time of the bag vote, though Karakehian arrived later in the evening.
Karakehian had previously argued in favor of a ban on plastic bags but no fee because it would be simpler and easier to administer.
The fee will apply to all paper and plastic bags at food retailers, including grocery stores, convenience stores and Target. Gas station stores will be exempt if food sales account for less than 2 percent of their business.
Retailers will get to keep 4 cents to cover their costs of administering the program. The city plans to use the rest of the money collected from the fee to pay for education and outreach about reusable bags, including buying and distributing free reusable bags to low-income Boulder residents.
The fee came about after students with the Net Zero Club at Fairview High School argued for a ban on all plastic bags and a fee on paper bags.
The City Council decided to pursue a fee on all disposable bags after representatives of Eco-Cycle said banning plastic would cause people to switch to paper, which has its own environmental problems, rather than to reusable bags.
City staff members had originally proposed a 20-cent fee, but the City Council lowered it to 10 cents. ___

With archery seasons fast approaching, everyone's trying to fine-tune their bow shooting skills while making plans for hunting trips and getting camp work or last-minute scouting done.
Here is a great tip to help you get ready for the season from Darrin Christenberry with the Mathews pro staff.
One of the most important things to help improve archery accuracy is the execution of the release. Accuracy is nothing more than consistency in your form and execution of your shot.
When you learn to shoot a mechanical release correctly, the results will shock you. I see so many bowhunters and first-time archers triggering or punching their trigger. When you punch the release, your brain is commanding your finger or thumb to jump on the trigger when your sight pin is getting close to your target. That creates all kinds of movement in you and your bow. Learning how to focus on just aiming until the bow fires is critical to accuracy.
The next time you shoot your bow, try to aim at your target, and hold your sight pin as steady as you can. Squeeze your trigger or thumb barrel slowly and steadily while continuing to focus on holding your pin in the middle of your target.
When the bow fires and it surprises you, that arrow will more than likely hit the middle.
Make That Stand Setup Much Easier!
Putting up ladder stands is a necessary chore for some hunters and it's not exactly the easiest thing to do. But with the Tree Stand Up, the task is far more simple than in the past. Simply put your ladder stand legs into the Tree Stand Up slots, then put the durable stakes into the ground. Walk up the stand or use a rope attached to the platform to raise it from behind, and then secure it to the tree. Don your safety harness for final securing of the stand and you're set. Tree Stand Up weighs just a couple of pounds, can be used repeatedly to put up multiple stands and then stored. They work with almost all ladder stands with legs up to 1 inch in diameter. Definitely a time-saver on your work days or if you're putting up stands by yourself! Click Here Now

TORRANCE, Calif., July 25, 2013 - Acura today released an image of a prototype NSX supercar, announcing that the running prototype will take to the racetrack just prior to the Honda Indy 200 IndyCar Series race at Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course in Lexington, Ohio. The NSX prototype with custom graphics will lap the road course in advance of the race on August 4, 2013. The race will be broadcast live by NBC Sports Network starting at 3 p.m. EDT.
Global development of the NSX, slated for launch in 2015, is being led by engineers at Honda R&D Americas, Inc. in Raymond, Ohio.
