On the eve of Halloweetown's 1000th anniversary celebration, Witch University student Marnie Piper (Sara Paxton) must enlist the aid of two close friends in order to finally reveal a long-buried secret hidden in an ancient prophecy. Marnie has just won a full scholarship to the prestigious Witch University in Halloweentown, and she's eager to begin studying up on alchemy, amulets, and magic potions. While Marnie is all set to become Witch University's most popular coed, the new ban on magic at the school poses something of a problem for the young witch eager to realize her true powers. Later, Marnie discovers an ancient prophecy that holds the key to unlocking a legendary secret. Now, in order to ensure that Halloweentown's Millennial Celebration goes off without a hitch, Marnie will call on her old friends Ethan (Lucas Grabeel) and Benny the Skeleton in addition to seeking out the wisdom of new pals Professor Periwinkle and Aneesa the Genie. Will Marnie and her friends be able to fend off the evil that threatens to consume Halloweentown, or could it be that this strange and supernatural town has been marked for destruction since the day it was founded? ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

A big lie told in fun has deadly consequences in this horror story. A group of students at an exclusive private school decide to have some fun by creating an urban legend and seeing how far it will spread. When a woman is murdered not far from the school's campus, the students create an elaborate mythology about a serial killer known as "the Wolf," whose motives and methods would make him a likely culprit for the recent crime. However, when other people begin dying at the hands of "the Wolf," the students are forced to admit to their lie in hopes of stopping the killings. But will anyone believe them? And how does the real-life killer know so much about the backstory of "the Wolf"? Cry_Wolf stars Julian Morris, Lindy Booth, Jon Bon Jovi, and Gary Cole. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Chosen
Buffy (Sarah Michelle Gellar) interrupts her tender reunion with Angel (David Boreanaz) long enough to dispatch Caleb (Nathan Fillion) quite violently once and for all. Afterward, Angel says he can smell Spike (James Marsters) on Buffy. The Slayer admits that Spike now has a soul and is "in her heart," but she professes no desire for a relationship with either of her undead suitors. Instead, she wants to discover the person she's destined to become -- if, that is, she makes it through the impending conflict. To that end, Angel hands over a magical champion's amulet to be used against The First, then heads back to L.A. to form a second line of defense. Back at home, Spike is apoplectic with jealousy about Angel's return, but he accepts the amulet and shares another chaste, tender night with Buffy. A visit from The First, however, interrupts the Slayer's sleep -- and gives her a brilliant idea about how to defeat her nemesis. The Scoobies, the slayers-in-waiting, Faith (Eliza Dushku) and Buffy head to Sunnydale High to open the Seal of Danzalthar and wage war on The First's Turok-Han army. As Buffy and the slayerettes stream through the Seal, Willow (Alyson Hannigan) and Kennedy (Iyari Limon) complete a powerful spell to release the immense energy inside the Scythe and "call" every potential slayer in the world at the same time. Their potential now realized, the junior slayers join Buffy and Faith in kicking some serious Turok-Han butt. Injured in battle, Buffy once again receives a visit from The First, but the being's triumph is short-lived. Spike's amulet suddenly kicks in, punching a hole through the Hellmouth and turning Spike into a sort of magical magnifying glass for the sunlight that shines through. The Turok-Han army goes up in smoke and the entire town of Sunnydale begins to collapse into the Hellmouth. As the slayer brigade flees, Buffy professes her love for Spike even as his shining body begins to disintegrate. Cackling joyfully, Spike orders Buffy to save herself, and she does -- running across the tops of crumbling buildings and leaping onto the school bus that has become her army's unlikely rescue vehicle. Buffy and her allies are left to stare at the ruins of Sunnydale, mourn their losses -- including Anya (Emma Caulfield), who died protecting Andrew (Tom Lenk) from The First's bringers -- and contemplate their future in a world full of slayers. Originally broadcast May 20, 2003, on UPN, "Chosen" marked the 144th and final episode of the cult-favorite series. Although star Sarah Michelle Gellar officially pulled the plug on the show when she decided against renewing her contract, creator Joss Whedon said in interviews that he preferred to go out on top rather than allowing the series to linger past its creative peak. Fans were left with one final mystery: How would James Marsters join the cast of spin-off series Angel when his character, Spike, had died saving the world? ~ Brian J. Dillard, Rovi

Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Dirty Girls
Following their joint adventures in Los Angeles (see Angel, "Orpheus"), sorceress Willow (Alyson Hannigan) and slayer Faith (Eliza Dushku) find their drive home to Sunnydale interrupted by the machinations of Caleb (Nathan Fillion), a murderous preacher who's turned away from God and toward The First. After espousing a rather misogynistic world view to a newly arrived potential slayer (Mary Wilcher), Caleb leaves her half-dead by the side of the road as a message for Buffy (Sarah Michelle Gellar). As Willow watches over the girl at the hospital, Faith finally reconnects with Buffy. Although she hasn't forgiven Faith for a multitude of past sins (see, for example, "Who Are You?"), Buffy's glad to have another slayer in town. She's less happy, however, to find Faith hitting it off with Spike (James Marsters). After mistaking the guy for a typical vamp and almost dusting him, Faith swaps smokes and stories with the soulful blood-sucker. Nobody else, though, seems very convinced that she's reformed. Soon, Caleb's victim awakens and reveals that her attacker is in control of The First's Bringers, Buffy decides it's time for the potentials to experience some real combat. Over the strenuous objections of Giles (Anthony Stewart Head), she and Faith lead a team into what turns out to be a total massacre at the hands of Caleb and his Bringers. Molly (Clara Bryant) and some other potentials bite the big one, while Rona (Indigo) suffers a broken arm. Xander (Nicholas Brendon), however, receives the most gruesome injury: Caleb puts out one of his eyes. What remains of Buffy's army flees in retreat, leaving the humbled slayer to ponder her next move. Originally broadcast April 15, 2003, on UPN, "Dirty Girls" marked episode 140 of the cult-favorite series. Three years after her last Buffy appearance and just weeks after a three-episode stint on sister series Angel, Eliza Dushku reprises her role as Faith. New villain Caleb is portrayed by Nathan Fillion, who previously starred in Firefly, the short-lived space Western from Buffy creator Joss Whedon. During a series of provocative conversations with The First, the character reveals that he's the one who blew up the headquarters of the Watchers' Council (see "Never Leave Me"). ~ Brian J. Dillard, Rovi

Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Empty Places
As Xander (Nicholas Brendon) recovers at the hospital from having his eye gouged out by evil preacher Caleb (Nathan Fillion), Buffy (Sarah Michelle Gellar) licks her own wounds and deals with the emotional fallout of having dragged her friends and the potentials into an ambush. Meanwhile, the citizens of Sunnydale -- including friendly demon Clem (James C. Leary) -- stage a mass exodus from their apocalypse-plagued town. Stopping by the deserted high school to pick up her things, Buffy again encounters The First's bible-thumping minion. Once more Caleb proves stronger than the Slayer, but Buffy learns some valuable information in the process of getting her butt kicked. Meanwhile, Spike (James Marsters) and Andrew (Tom Lenk) gather additional intelligence when Giles (Anthony Stewart Head) sends them to the site of one of Caleb's earlier atrocities. Back in Sunnydale, the restless potentials get a break from their training when Faith (Eliza Dushku) takes them to the Bronze to blow off some steam. Things turn ugly, however, when sinister cops arrive to arrest -- or kill -- the fugitive slayer. When she learns of the incident, Buffy blows her top, but a surprisingly mature Faith keeps her cool. Later, at a huge strategy session at the house, Buffy tries to convince the others that it's imperative to stage another siege on Caleb's winery hideout. She gets shot down -- not just by the beleaguered potentials, but by Xander, Anya (Emma Caulfield), Willow (Alyson Hannigan), Principal Wood (D.B. Woodside) and even Dawn (Michelle Trachtenberg); Spike, Buffy's staunchest ally, is still on reconnaissance. Despite her protests that there's no democracy during wartime, General Buffy finds herself deposed by a popular uprising. As for Faith, she's thrust into the unlikely role of replacement leader while her tearful fellow slayer strikes out on her own. Originally broadcast April 29, 2003, on UPN, "Empty Places" marked episode 141 of the cult-favorite series. The band playing during this episode's Bronze sequence is none other than Nerf Herder, the group that penned Buffy's memorable theme song. ~ Brian J. Dillard, Rovi

Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Get It Done
Now that he's "outed" himself as the son of a slayer, Principal Wood (D.B. Woodside) visits the potential-slayer compound at the Summers home. Buffy (Sarah Michelle Gellar) proudly demonstrates the girls' rigorous training program, but her lessons seem too rough for at least one of the potentials. Spurred on by the sinister whisperings of The First, a terrified and depressed Chloe (Lalaine) hangs herself. Her death shatters the other slayerettes' naive illusion that this is all some sort of superhero summer camp. Buffy defiantly warns them that Chloe was stupid and they will be, too, if they give in as easily as the dead girl did. More desperate than ever for answers about her powers, Buffy turns to a gift from Wood: a bag of slayer artifacts passed on from his mother to her Watcher to Wood. Discovering a mysterious box among the items, Buffy opens it and soon finds herself transported to a spirit realm much like the one she visited during her encounters with the specter of the First Slayer (see "Restless" and "Intervention"). This time, however, she communes with the spirits of the three mystics who created the First Slayer back in prehistory. Buffy learns that this was accomplished by chaining a young girl down and filling her with demonic power. The trio offer Buffy the chance for more of this dark magic, but she refuses, unwilling to accept its demonic nature -- and her own. Meanwhile, back on earth, the Scoobies are stuck fighting a demon who switched places with Buffy when she did her disappearing act. Spike (James Marsters) vanquishes the beast, drawing Buffy back to earth, but not before she witnesses a terrifying vision of an entire army of über-vamps like the one she recently almost died defeating (see "Showtime"). Originally broadcast Feb. 18, 2003, on UPN, "Get It Done" marked episode 137 of the cult-favorite series. ~ Brian J. Dillard, Rovi

Buffy the Vampire Slayer: First Date
Buffy (Sarah Michelle Gellar) and Xander (Nicholas Brendon) each step out for the evening with someone new, but both dates are full of surprise revelations. Xander's rendezvous is with Lissa (pop singer Ashanti), a lovely young lady he meets on his construction job. Buffy's, meanwhile, is with Principal Robin Wood (D.B. Woodside), her boss at Sunnydale High School. Things begin normally enough for Buffy and Robin, but a vamp attack soon nips the fun in the bud. Much to Buffy's astonishment, though, the principal more than holds his own against the attackers. Over dinner, he reveals that he's the son of a slayer and was raised by his mother's watcher after her death. Now a part-time demon-fighter, he was fully aware of Buffy's identity when he hired her as school counselor. Once again the evening is interrupted, this time by a frantic phone call that Xander needs help. With Spike (James Marsters) and Robin in tow, Buffy heads to the school just in time to save her friend from being murdered by Lissa. It turns out Xander has once again romanced a demon, this time one who wants to get in good with The First by bring another Turok-Han to earth. As Xander's rescuers defeat his duplicitous date, Spike puts on his ugly face, revealing to the disgusted Robin that Buffy is in league with a vampire. Later, the specter of Robin's mother -- actually The First in disguise -- appears to him and reveals the identity of her killer. It turns out she's actually the slayer Spike murdered on a New York City subway in the 1970s (see "Fool for Love"). Originally broadcast Feb. 11, 2003, on UPN, "First Date" marked episode 136 of the cult-favorite series. K.D. Aubert here replaces April Weeden-Washington as Robin's mother, the subway Slayer. ~ Brian J. Dillard, Rovi

Three generations of Chinese-American women struggle to reconcile tradition and family with their own needs and desires in this independent drama from first-time director Bertha Bay-Sa Pan. In 1977, Kim (Bai Ling) is an intelligent and headstrong Asian-American, whose mother (Kieu Chinh) is eager to see married off to an eligible man as soon as possible. Kim isn't interested in settling down just yet, and is dating a bright but struggling law student, Willie (Ken Leung). Kim is making some extra money by tutoring Daniel (Will Yun Lee), a handsome but irresponsible boy from a wealthy family. Daniel seduces Kim one evening after she's had an argument with Willie, and while she has no interest in seeing Daniel again, she soon discovers that she's pregnant with his child, and both her mother and Daniel's parents insist that they marry. It doesn't take long for Kim to realize that she and Daniel don't care much for one another, and Kim decides to leave America for Singapore, leaving her baby daughter Genie in mother's care. Two decades later, grown-up Genie (Kristy Wu) is even more rebellious than her mother, and while Genie pays a modicum of lip service to her grandmother, she's no more interested in settling down with a nice Chinese boy than Kim was. Genie has been dating Michael (Treach), an African-American hip-hop musician; Michael is eager to make their relationship more permanent, but Genie isn't so sure, and her grandmother has no idea what to make of Genie's new beau. When Kim arrives on one of her infrequent visits, the three generations of this family find themselves struggling to find a common ground. Face was screened in competition at the 2002 Sundance Film Festival. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

At the same time, the Seeling family is confronted with their daughter Rachel's (Kyra Sedwick) lesbianism, when she brings home her lover Carla (Julianna Margulies).

Based on the novel, How I Created My Perfect Prom Date, by Todd Strasser, Drive Me Crazy stars Melissa Joan Hart as Nicole, a trend-conscious teenager living next door to Chase (Adrian Grenier), a self-conscious, downbeat type who reads poetry and spouts political platitudes. Needless to say, Nicole and Chase have nothing in common and little to say to each other. But when the boy of Nicole's dreams asks someone else to the prom, she decides to remake Chase into worthy date material as a way to make her old flame jealous. Before long, Nicole and Chase aren't just pretending that they like each other. Drive Me Crazy presented Sabrina, the Teenage Witch star Melissa Joan Hart in her first leading role in a feature film; it was produced under the title Girl Gives Birth to Prom Date and test-screened as Next to You before the producers settled on Drive Me Crazy. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

The New York Times recently ran a piece about the increasing speed of generation gaps. Because life-changing gadgets have much speedier development cycles than they did when I grew up, sociologists think people in their twenties have become the new out-of-touch grownups. Apparently, someone 5 years my junior relies a lot less on email and a lot more on IMs than I do, and that makes me a prematurely-old curmudgeon. A Pew researcher quoted in the article explains that "[c]ollege students scratch their heads at what their high school siblings are doing, and they scratch their heads at their younger siblings. It has sped up generational differences."
Fellow twenty-somethings, we have apparently passed our expiration date.
But wait! While I was sipping Ovaltine in my rocking chair and passing out some delicious Werther's Originals, I happened on another article. The Philadephia Inquirer asked kids between 7 and 13 to predict what significant developments this new decade might bring. Great! Another chance to feel old! Surely these intrepid junior futurists would hold expectations far beyond anything my senile 26-year-old brain could make sense of. I pushed back my fears, put on my glasses-on-a-chain and started to read.
The article shocked me, but not because kids born in the '90s are growing up as unfathomable cyborgs. On the contrary, my 7-year-old self would have made the same totally awesome predictions these kids did. The overwhelming concern for the well-being of animals, the robot monkey butlers, and the hope for an end to divorce are straight out of my childhood. Unrelatable? Hardly.
Sure, maybe the iGeneration will one day process my remains into fuel for their jetpacks, but we still get excited by the same fascinating stuff. I'd like to add my endorsement to this prediction by Marly, age 8: "Chefs may create new recipes, such as new flavors of pie."
Some things are so timelessly cool that every effort to explain their appeal using grown-up language comes off as overly-academic and weird. You can try to translate that feeling in every kid's gut into studies and essays, but they're never going to be as exciting as dinosaurs and robots. Attempts to analyze the magic are dated before they're ever finished, but pie will never lose its relevance. Just be cool, okay? I think you'll find you still know how.
Welcome to the Pie Decade.

Hotel De La Paix Lucerne Guest Reviews (2)
I struggled to find a wheelchair friendly hotel in Lucern. There is a small step (not more than 2 - 3 cm) getting into the hotel. The room is large with a shower. The hotel provided a plastic chair for showering. I can recommend this hotel.

This hotel was in a great location, however the facilities were a problem. There are no tea/coffee making facilities in the room and also no iron or ironing board. Apart from this, it was a clean hotel with friendly staff.

Birthdays are more special each year
By the time readers get this column, I will have had a nice steak dinner date thanks to my husband Jason. I will have spent an afternoon with Momma, picking out a nice present. And I will have another belly full of food prepared by two of my close friends.
And as the weekend closes out and I realize another year has passed, I will be happy.
Birthdays remind me of just how precious time really is. They tend to creep up on you the older you get. As each one closes, I am reminded of how quickly time passes.
Sometimes its seems like yesterday when I was turning six years old. I celebrated my big day with balloons, party favors, toys, candy, cake and neighborhood kids.
My childhood birthdays were the best. I awoke every birthday with a greeting fit for a queen. With sleepy eyes and clinging my baggy shirt nightgown, I would enter the living room to a family singing Happy Birthday. They would kid with me about how old I was. I would get a few special presents before my party. I would have a breakfast menu of my choice.
Before my birthday party even began, I would be overloaded with sweets, presents and hugs. At the end of the day, I would go to bed with a belly full of sugar and an armload full of toys that I didn't want to put away.
As I got older and the idea of birthday parties melted away, Momma and I had a tradition that we kept for many years. On the night of my birthday, we would eat a nice dinner at Kyoto Japanese Steakhouse. It was a hibachi grill restaurant just down the road from our house in Jackson at the time.
As a mother now, I can understand why Momma enjoyed it so much. For one night, her pre-teen girl became her baby once again. The same kid who was too embarrassed to hug her goodbye at school that morning was all smiles as the cook prepared a meal in front of her. The same kid who thought she was too big to kiss goodnight would cling to her Momma's arm as the grill fire reached for the sky. And the same kid who was slowly turning into a teenager would still get a little ice cream on her nose from the after-meal sherbert.
In my opinion, birthdays – no matter what the age – seem to transform people back into their younger years. Whether it's getting a huge sombrero plopped on your head to having family singing to you at home over candles, you become a kid again just for a few seconds.
When it's our son James' birthday, I get more excited over his surprised reactions than anything else. I will look for those same emotions when he turns into the teenager who is too cool for Momma.
And with James' future birthdays, my mind will always go back to the chubby-faced baby who placed you on top of the world because you let him blow out his own candles. He will turn back into the child whose hug after a present made you forget about everything else in the room.
Now I understand the excitement in Momma's voice last week when she called me up on the phone.
"Well, what do you want to do for your birthday," she asked.
For that one special day, I become her little girl again.
Being a mother now, I understand why.
Celebrating your child's birthdays are a sweet reminder of how precious the days of our lives together really are.

While many sports fans get their daily fix from Rogers Sportsnet - a Humber grad helps make it happen. Giulia DiGiovanni, a recent graduate from Humber's Broadcasting Television/Videography (BRTV) program, is a camera operator at the hourly sports update show.
It all started in 2011 during her final year in Humber's BRTV program. DiGiovanni was part of the student crew broadcasting the Rockstar Ski Cross Grand Prix at Blue Mountain. "While working the event last year I was chatting with one of the production people from Sportsnet," said DiGiovanni. "He was impressed with what I was learning so he recommended me for an internship." With hard work and dedication, DiGiovanni was able to turn that internship into a job.
For the second year-in-a-row, BRTV students were a part of the Double Black Diamond Production (DBDP) broadcast crew that covered the 2012 Rockstar Ski/Snowboard Cross GrandPrix. DiGiovanni returned as well, this time documenting Humber students on the job in roles including producer, technical directors, camera operators, editors, and more.
"Students covered this major sporting event in challenging conditions," said Michael Wright, a professor in the Humber BRTV department. "DBDP trusted our students to excel, which is why they invited Humber again this year. When these students apply for jobs, they can say they worked on a program that aired on a major Canadian network. Not many students can say that."
Humber students worked with SCORPIO, Humber's high-definition (HD) television mobile truck. SCORPIO is the most technically advanced mobile in any college in Ontario. The compact 35' mobile television facility features the latest in state-of-the-art HD broadcast equipment, including top-of-the-line high-definition cameras, a video production switcher, a digital recording system, broadcast graphics software, edit facilities and more.

Fighting Ovarian Cancer -- and Winning
New treatments and techniques are helping boost survival rates for ovarian cancer -- and Julie McMullen and Elaine Becker are living proof. Julie was diagnosed with ovarian cancer while she was still in her 20s, and Allegheny Health Network's Dr. Thomas Krivak tailored her treatments in a way that preserved her fertility, with positive results. Elaine Becker, a patient of Allegheny Health Network's Dr. Fredric Price, is a 10-year-plus survivor of ovarian cancer, a disease that killed her mother at a young age. Elaine says "knowledge is power," and her niece, Emily Liszka, is using knowledge about her family background to make decisions about her future. This moving and thought-provoking segment from WQED-TV may change how you look at ovarian cancer.

But The filter is designed to work with a 50Hz input signal. When you feed it 400Hz it shifts the cutoff point upward because its based on the time between pulses. So where the cutoff freq for a 50Hz input might be 5Hz the cutoff freq for the 400Hz might be 40Hz (I see a huge difference in throttle response between hooking the ESC straight to the reciever or to my control board).
People have made much smaller quadcopters with standard ESCs at 400hz so I doubt I'll have a problem getting this to stabilize. I just use a wild ass guess for the pid values, p=800, i=0, d=-50. I think I'll try p=400, i=0, d=-160. With the i term being 0 the quad would not be able to hover level if i.e. there's more weight to one side. I'll worry about the i term after it can fly relatively stable.

The Impact of Immigration on the Structure of Male Wages: Theory and Evidence from Britain
HDRO Conference Room
Immigration to the UK has risen in the past 10 years and has had a measurable effect on the supply of different types of labour. But, existing studies of the impact of immigration on the wages of native-born workers in the UK (e.g. Dustmann, Fabbri and Preston, 2005) have failed to find any significant effect. This is something of a puzzle since Card and Lemieux, (2001) have shown that changes in the relative supply of educated natives do seem to have measurable effects on the wage structure.

The role of NGOs in assisting victims of human trafficking
HDRO Conference Room
20,000+ persons are trafficked into the U.S. on a yearly basis, approximately 1500 have been rescued and certified, all of them with the assistance of Non-governmental Organizations (NGOs). The gap is big and more awareness, education and support from the government of sending and receiving countries are needed in order to reduce the number of persons that are victimized due to poverty and injustice.

Migration, Environment and Development: Can Mobility Be a Form of Adaptation?
HDRO Conference Room
Migration is viewed as being essentially a negative phenomenon and a form of forced migration which brings few benefits to those who move or to those left behind. This presentation argues that migration could also be considered as part of an adaptation strategy. The paper explores how migration, and efforts to promote mobility, within and between countries could be part of a broader strategy to help developing countries adapt to climate change and environmental degradation.

Migration and Displacement in South Africa
HDRO Conference Room
With the political liberation that accompanied the end of South Africa's apartheid era, domestic and regional migration patterns in the country also underwent major changes. The ensuing integration of South Africa with the Southern African Development Community brought a significant increase in intra-regional migration involving both legal and undocumented cross-border movements of people for a variety of purposes.

Latinos and the Economic Downturn
HDRO Conference Room
Co-development is based on the idea that migrants contribute to the development of both their host and origin countries, and that public authorities should aim to maximize the positive effects of migration by spurring the financial and human capital gains associated with international population movements. Against this background, French co-development policy, mainly oriented towards African countries, rests on four main thrusts: productive investment, brain circulation, immigrant return, and integration.

Migration, Remittances, and Poverty: Case Studies in West Africa
HDRO Conference Room
This seminar will present results from a new volume of case studies on migration, remittances and poverty in West Africa. The analysis suggests that remittances represent an important source of income for many households, and that the impact of changes in remittances due to shocks (such as a conflict) can be large, at least for those households who do benefit from remittances.
14 October 2008
Remittances and Development
HDRO Conference Room
International migration is driven by major economic, demographic and social disparities as well as conflicts, climate change and environmental degradation or disasters. It has been argued that the benefits of migration to source countries are mostly through remittances. One issue to consider is how the financial sector, through which remittances flow, can impact development.
7 October 2008
Thinking about migration through a capability lens
HDRO Conference Room
Migration can affect the development process. A conventional wisdom has arisen in the international policy and research community that suggests that benefits arising through migration are so limited by the scale of movement, and so diluted by countervailing negative effects, that there are reasons to consider migration a multifaceted threat to the development process in many contexts.

A Fan's Perspective: Packers Bye Week Review
The Packers 2012 season started off like none before it. I will not dig up too many ugly memories, but the Packers record at this point should not be 6-3.
Be that as it may, the team and some of it's key players have gotten flak that's just not deserved. Not that everything is perfect; far from it, for many in my opinion it is fans being unrealistic. But we see it every year no matter what the record; fans calling for players to be traded, coaches fired, this player or that player is nothing, has not impressed me and you hear things like I KNOW what is going to be called. It goes with the game and being a fan for many.
Right now I think that the team is in a very good position, even better when most of the currently injured player do come back. The depth of the team has been shown to us all these last 3 weeks. With a full roster this coaching staff, one I think is the best in the NFL, is going to have options they did not have at the start of the season simply because of the younger players and players changing positions gaining experience.
Lets start with the CB's and Safeties. One of the players getting flak is Woodson. Now hurt, but him not being on the field hurts the defense. There is just so much he can do that is lost on many fans. No other DB can play CB, Safety, LB like he can.

Caring for your Surya Rug
Enjoy the beauty of your new purchase for years with the help of our proper maintenance guide. Follow the below mentioned instructions carefully and you will be able to take good care of the rug at home.
When first taken out of the packing and unrolled, the rug may have bulges that will prevent it from laying flat on the floor. This occurs due to tight rolling during shipment. It will disappear in a day or two. If the problem persists please put a heavy flat object on top of it for sometime and it will help in solving the problem.
During initial use, you will notice some shedding of the wool pile. This is a common occurrence with any wool product and does not reflect on the actual wear ability of the rug.
Vacuum regularly. Remove any grease spots with ordinary wool cleaning detergents. The frequency of cleaning varies according to the traffic the rug receives. Caked on dirt is difficult to remove, so you need to be careful to prevent this from happening.
Professional Cleaning:
You may have the cleaning done professionally, depending on your personal requirement and the state of the rug. Before getting professional help, make sure of certain things:
- Be sure that the cleaner knows how to clean your particular type of rug. Cleaning a hand knotted or a hand-tufted rug is a lot different from cleaning wall-to-wall carpet!
- Inspect the rug with the cleaner. Note existing stains and damage before it is cleaned. Get a signed receipt and guarantee for the work to be done.
- If you spill something on the rug, clean it immediately. This will help in preventing the stain from setting in. Remember, once the stain sets in, it becomes that more difficult to clean it.
- Never rub a spill, as it forces the spill deeper into the rug. Always, blot with clean white cloth. Removing as much moisture from the spill as possible by blotting with a clean, white, absorbent cloth is the key.
- Use lukewarm water containing a wool cleaning liquid to remove any residual stain.
- If water does not help, you can always use a solvent to remove a spill. Remember to pretest the solvent on a small area of the rug by applying a few drops, then blotting with a clean, white, absorbent cloth.
- Always, use clean tap water to remove any residual cleaner, and absorb any remaining moisture with dry towels. When dry, vacuum pile to restore texture.
- If the preceding steps do not help in proper cleaning of the rug, please send it to a reputable professional cleaner.

By Paul Woolverton Staff writer
RALEIGH - The state Senate on Wednesday voted 33-14 to try to resume executions in North Carolina and to repeal the controversial Racial Justice Act.
The vote fell on party lines, with all Republicans present voting in favor of the measure. Senate Bill 306 now moves to the Republican-controlled House.
North Carolina has had a de facto moratorium on executions since January 2007, when the state courts faced questions about the legality and constitutionality of death penalty practices.
Convicted murderers are still being sentenced to death, but executions cannot be carried out until the litigation is resolved in state and federal courts. Defense lawyers said Wednesday that could take years, and it's not clear whether the latest legislation would do anything to change that.
The 2007 decision to halt executions staved off the death penalty for Marcus Reymond Robinson of Fayetteville less than a day before his date with the death chamber.
Independent of the moratorium, the state since 2009 has had the Racial Justice Act, which provides death row inmates an opportunity to prove that racism tainted their murder trials. Those who can prove a racism claim get their sentences commuted to life in prison without parole.
Robinson in 2012 was the state's first condemned inmate to use the law to have his sentence commuted. He used statistics to show racial bias in the system. Robinson is black, and his victim was white.
Three more inmates, all from Cumberland County homicides, also had their sentences commuted last year. One had killed a state trooper and a sheriff's deputy during a traffic stop in 1997. Another killed a Fayetteville police officer in 2001, and the third killed two women in a gang initiation.
The execution moratorium and Racial Justice Act rulings have outraged capital punishment advocates and victims' families, who view the laws as back-door means of trying to end the death penalty.
Supporters say the Racial Justice Act was a long-overdue tool to remedy past instances of racism in the system and prevent it from poisoning future trials.
Of North Carolina's 152 death row inmates, 144 are pursuing Racial Justice Act claims, according to Attorney General Roy Cooper's office. Two inmates who don't have claims have exhausted their appeals and could be eligible for execution if the moratorium ends, Cooper's office said.
Democrats attempted twice to save the Racial Justice Act during debate on the Senate floor Wednesday.
Republican Sen. Wesley Meredith of Fayetteville, a co-sponsor of the legislation, argued passionately against an amendment that would have saved the act.
He also criticized retired Senior Resident Superior Court Judge Greg Weeks, who overturned the death sentences in Cumberland County last year. Weeks should have recused himself when the prosecutors asked him to, Meredith said.
In 2011, Cumberland County prosecutors wanted Weeks to recuse himself so they could have him testify on their behalf. A Nash County judge overruled their request.
"The district attorney, with all the facts that he needed, went to Judge Weeks and asked (him) to recuse himself from the case based on his prior knowledge and being involved in the case prior to it coming back to his court," Meredith said. "... If everything was there that needed to be there, and racial bias could be proved, and was proved, why did Superior Court Judge Weeks decide that he needed to hear the case?
"That is what I would like to share with the Senate: That if we're going to be fair and equitable, and each one of these cases are going to stand on their own, then why do we need a judge, a minority judge, who knew the facts prior to this case - why did he need to hear the case? Why could he not recuse himself?"
Weeks declined to comment on Meredith's statements.
North Carolina needs the Racial Justice Act because the system is flawed, other lawmakers said.
"The death penalty is something that you cannot reverse once you have - I use the word 'killed' - an innocent person," said state Rep. Garland Pierce of Scotland County, chairman of the Legislative Black Caucus. He spoke at a news conference about the legislation Wednesday morning.
The section of the bill that would resume executions addresses several points that led to the moratorium.
It says medical personnel can participate in executions without jeopardizing their medical licenses, which had been an issue because they are prohibited from harming their patients.
The legislation tells the secretary of the Department of Public Safety to develop an intravenous means of poisoning the inmate that is constitutional. It also requires routine reporting that the execution staff is properly trained. Both of those matters have been factors in the moratorium.
The legislation demands regular reporting of the status of death row cases and sets a new deadline for the Attorney General's Office to ensure that executions will be carried out once a death row defendant has exhausted appeals.

Liberty Electric Cars to Convert Thousands of Luxury Autos
Filed under: Luxury Cars & Autos, Green
Over in the UK there's a new company in town called Liberty Electric Cars, and it's looking to turn the electric car industry on its head. Liberty Electric Cars has plans to take £30 million and use it to convert "tens of thousands" of luxury vehicles over to electric power. The world's first zero emission electrically powered Range Rover will be among their offerings, and depending on the model the Rovers will be priced at £95,000 - £125,000 (or about $187,000 - $246,000). Apparently the electric power technology they plan to use is cutting edge and will result in cars with more power and longer time between charges. Sounds cool but too good to be true? Guess we'll find out!

Disney Reveals Kids 2013-14 Upfronts
NEW YORK -- Buoyant after another year of record-setting ratings, Disney Channels Worldwide affirmed its plan to further build its creative and ratings strength, its audience engagement and its valuable multiplatform sales opportunities, today at Disney Media's 2013-14 Kids Upfront presentation. Held at New York's Hudson Theatre, many sponsors and advertisers attended the event with their children.
The evening included musical performances by the global sensation Bridgit Mendler (star of Disney Channel's "Good Luck Charlie" and a Gold-certified Hollywood Records recording artist) and popular actor and Hollywood Records recording artist Ross Lynch ("Austin & Ally," "Teen Beach Movie" and the band R5) who performed his Radio Disney hit song, "Can You Feel It." The show opened with a performance by Radio Disney's N.B.T. (Next BIG Thing) season five winners Chloe & Halle. Crash, the mischievous puppet star of Disney XD's sitcom "Crash & Bernstein," crashed the presentation. Special on-stage appearances were made by teen superstar Laura Marano ("Austin & Ally") and newcomer Dove Cameron (of two upcoming Disney Channel projects, the movie "Cloud 9" and comedy series "Liv & Maddie.")
Gary Marsh, president and chief creative officer, Disney Channels Worldwide, said, "We remain focused on delivering distinctively Disney quality programming to kids and families around world and are invigorated by the remarkable viewer response we've seen across all key demographics over the past year."
Marsh announced that the 24-hour Disney Junior channel, which accepts select sponsorships, will begin reporting Nielsen ratings as of April 1, 2013. The channel marks its first anniversary this month.
The daily Disney Junior block on Disney Channel has emerged as the leader with four hit series for kids age 2-7 and their parents: "Doc McStuffins" (cable TV's #1 series of 2012 among Kids 2-5, Girls 2-5 and Boys 2-5), "Jake and the Never Land Pirates" and "Mickey Mouse Clubhouse" (each Top 3 contenders in Kids 2-5 and Boys 2-5) and the new series "Sofia the First" (the #1 cable TV series for both of its two months among Kids, Girls 2-5 and the #1 preschooler cable TV series in Total Viewers and Women 18-49. November 2012's premiere of "Sofia the First: Once Upon a Princess" was the #1 telecast in cable TV history in Kids 2-5 and Girls 2-5, and #1 preschooler cable TV telecast ever in Total Viewers and Women 18-49).
Marsh also told advertisers that Disney XD will expand its Marvel Universe programming block with two new animated series, one starring the hugely popular super hero The Hulk and another starring The Avengers. For 2012, Disney XD soared to its biggest year in the channel's history (including its 10 years as Toon Disney) with original series including "Lab Rats," "Kickin' It" and "Crash & Bernstein," and the animated Marvel Universe series "Ultimate Spider-Man." Disney XD posted yearly ratings records (in both Primetime and Total Day) in Total Viewers and its targeted kid and boy demographics, 2-11, 6-14, 6-11 and 9-14, rising by solid margins over year-ago results. Marvel's "Ultimate Spider-Man" season two debuted in January 2013 and to date, is Disney XD's #1 animated series in Kids and Boys 2-11 and Boys 6-11.
At the event, Marsh presented the first in an exciting series of cartoon shorts starring the endearing, adventurous and funny antics of Mickey Mouse, one of the most popular characters in the world. Produced by Disney Television Animation, the "Mickey Mouse" shorts preview beginning today, TUESDAY, MARCH 12 exclusively on Disney.com and will begin rolling out FRIDAY, JUNE 28 on Disney Channel, Disney.com and WATCH Disney Channel, among other platforms.

The VEEC is a social club, focused on recreation and relaxation. Participants gather once a week to play video games in a safe and fun environment. The VEEC also has the pleasure of participating in video game activities, such as tournaments and expositions, and is always accepting new members!
This event, co-sponsored by Falvey Memorial Library and the Villanova Electronic Enthusiasts Club, is free and open to the public.
The research experts at Falvey Memorial Library will hold an instruction session on citing sources following Chicago Style rules on December 5. Chicago style is used extensively in the humanities and social sciences for its clarity and flexibility; however, its eccentricities (different footnote and bibliography styles, the Ibid. system, etc.) make it tougher to get started with when compared to the other styles. This class will lay the groundwork for Chicago Style and demonstrate its ability to meet nearly any documentation need. The session will be held on Thursday, December 5 from 4:00-5:00 p.m. in Falvey 204 in the second-floor Learning Commons.

Thousands of youth rose to their feet chanting "We Day, We Day" at Toronto's Air Canada Centre on Friday.
Through the deafening cheers the message was clear -- together change is possible.
"As we become aware collectively, this room, this generation, of our power, we will change the world," said MP Justin Trudeau during his speech on Friday.
More than 20,000 students and supporters crowded Toronto's Air Canada Centre and promised to commit to at least one local and one global change this year.
International charity Free the Children, co-founded by brothers Marc and Craig Kielburger, teamed up with social enterprise organization "Me to We" to create the one-day event. Its aim is to empower youth to make global change.
"Today young people gather together to celebrate our commitment to change," said the Kielburgers in their opening speech. "Since the last We Day we have made incredible change," adding that more than 1.7 million hours of volunteer time have been accounted for.
The Kielburgers shouted out to individuals in the audience, including Annaleise Carr, the 14-year-old who became the youngest person to swim across Lake Ontario. Carr raised $115,000 for Camp Trillium, allowing approximately 115 children with cancer to go to camp for 10 days.
Hugely notable speakers and performers graced the stage at Friday's event including actor Martin Sheen, the Hon. Lieutenant General Romeo Dallaire, Nelly Furtado and Jennifer Hudson, and a surprise visit by rapper and singer K'Naan, who joined Furtado on stage during her set.
Themes of social injustice were the main talking points on stage as Trudeau and Hon. Justice Murray Sinclair focused on First Nations issues.
"The public schools of this country have not been teaching about Aboriginal problems properly," said Sinclair, who asked the audience to educate future generations.
Dellaire, who was welcomed with enormous applause, spoke more globally.
"Your peers are in the mines being used as child labour. Only because they have no capability of protection," said Dellair on stage Friday.
Dellaire laid the responsibility on the youths in the audience to "listen, laugh, cry and encourage and build humanity because each of us are equal."
For 16-year-old London student Abbie Lumani, it was a trip to Kenya in 2011 that inspired her to create change.
"When I entered high school I didn't even want to do my community service hours. Now I'm up to about 500 hours," Lumani told CTV Toronto on Friday.
Lumani, who said her trip was "mind-blowing" created a five- and 10-kilometre run called "Picture this, Quenching Kenya's Thirst," which aimed to raise $5,000 for clean water for small villages in Kenya but garnered more than $10,000. The money went towards Spencer West's "Redefine Possible" campaign, a Me to We motivational speaker who even after losing his legs at age five climbed Mount Kilimanjaro this past June.
We Day was also the kicking-off point for a number of upcoming campaigns from Free the Children. In an effort to provide fresh water to more than 100,000 people the organization will encourage people to collect soon-to-be defunct Canadian pennies and donate them.
Craig Kielburger, joined by singer Nelly Furtado and Hedley front-man Jacob Hoggard, spoke to media about the upcoming campaigns during Friday's event.
"Water is one of those cornerstones in life, that many of us take for granted. We have the ability to provide someone with the essence of life," said Hoggard about the launch of the "We Create Change" campaign.
"(Water) is everything to these communities," said Furtado who announced her $1 million donation to Free the Children last year.
Scarborough student Deeph Prashad, 16, also already started collecting pennies at her high school Sir John A. MacDonald.
Prashad was inspired by a presentation from Free the Children at her school last year where students were asked to get a water bottle and fill it with fresh water as fast as they could. In 47 seconds, the students were back with their bottles full.
"Imagine that it takes just 47 seconds to get clean water, it's at your fingertips. Children and (families) travel for hours and hours to get not even clean water, it's contaminated water," Prashad told CTV Toronto on Friday.
Prashad started the penny drive to give back.
"With the penny drive, it's easy for people to give. You're not standing over them asking for a lot of money. It's a lot of excitement at our school," she said.
Excited students spilled out of the auditorium after a final call to action from the Kielburgers and a performance from Oscar-nominated singer Jennifer Hudson.
"You are part of a whole new generation -- what I call the generation without borders," said Dallaire.
The first We Day was held in 2007 at Toronto's Ricoh Coliseum where 8,000 youth came together to celebrate. The event is tied to a year-long We Act program, an educational initiative to encourage youth to get involved and volunteer.
CTV will air We Day highlights on Nov. 24 at 7:00 p.m.

Pakistan upstage South Africa in first Test |
Abu Dhabi (AFP), 2013/10/17 08:25:21 , |
The off-spinner (4-74) was superbly supported by left-arm paceman Junaid Khan (3-57) and fellow spinner Zulfiqar Babar (2-51) as South Africa collapsed to 232 in their second innings on the fourth day at Sheikh Zayed Stadium.
That left Pakistan to score 40 runs for their overall fourth win over South Africa and take a 1-0 lead in the two-match series.
Pakistan made heavy weather of the small target losing openers Shan Masood (nought), Azhar Ali (three) and Khurram Manzoor (four) in the space of seven runs by the fourth over.
Vernon Philander took 2-11 while Dale Steyn had 1-7.
Senior batsmen Younis Khan (28) and Misbah-ul Haq (nine) were left to see off the target with the Pakistan captain deservedly hitting the winning six.
"It's really unbelievable and a much-needed win for us," said Misbah, whose team lost to minnows Zimbabwe in their last Test in September.
"It was a team effort and everyone contributed, especially the youngsters.
"Both openers and Zulfiqar Babar, they really did a tremendous job for us. I think everyone chipped in, especially with the bowling."
South African captain Graeme Smith was left "extremely disappointed".
"We have set really high standards for ourselves, but credit goes to Misbah and his boys, right from session one, they have been ahead in the game and played better cricket. Even though we showed good character in parts, our skills were not up to the mark," said Smith.
It was AB de Villiers who hit a fighting 90 to help South Africa avoid an innings defeat while Robin Peterson scored a valiant 47 not out but it only delayed Pakistan's win.
This is Pakistan's fourth win over South Africa in 22 Tests and also broke South Africa's unbeaten 15-Test run since losing to Sri Lanka at Durban in December 2011.
De Villiers added an invaluable 57 for the eighth wicket with Petersen to carry the match into the final session.
Peterson added an invaluable 42 for the ninth wicket with Vernon Philander (10), much to the frustration of the Pakistani bowlers.
De Villiers hit seven boundaries and a six off 157-ball in a resistance filled innings before he miscued a drive off paceman Junaid Khan with just three to avoid an innings defeat.
Pakistan's bowlers had grabbed two wickets in the morning session to boost their chances on a pitch offering good turn after South Africa resumed at 72-4, trailing by a big 121 runs.
Left-arm spinner Babar dismissed nightwatchman Steyn (seven) and then paceman Jinaid Khan removed Jean-Paul Duminy (nought) as South Africa struggled against a spirited bowling attack.
Steyn had frustrated Pakistan in the first hour, playing defensively till the 12th over of the day when Babar was introduced into the attack and with his first delivery bowled the nightwatchman.
Duminy, who hit 57 in South Africa's first innings of 249, survived just five deliveries before he was trapped leg-before by Khan, leaving South Africa tottering at 109-6.
Pakistan removed Faf du Plessis soon after lunch when Ajmal had him caught and bowled for eight.
De Villiers brought up his 33rd Test half-century with a big six off Babar. In all he hit seven boundaries and a six off 157 balls.
He hit a straight drive into the hands of cover off Khan, with just three needed to avoid an innings defeat.
Peterson and Philander further delayed the inevitable but Ajmal removed Philander and Morne Morkel in the same over to wrap up the innings.
The second and final Test will be played in Dubai from October 23.
