Well, I dunno that I can say I had a good weekend. I did manage to hurt the hell outta my ankle, my knee, and various lifting muscles that I dont normally believe in using. Yeah, helped my brother move to his first house. And a nice house it is, very nice indeed.
Of course, its no 50 year old mouse infested house with a leaky roof and peeling paint outside, but itll do.
But I wrenched the heck out of my ankle. Dunno what I did to the knee. So Im kinda slow and hoppy today. I should have blown the leaves around my yard a bit, but just wasnt up to it.

man, geoff really is the best thing that ever happen for the university of memphis fans.. he is the paul finebaum of memphis athletics.. thank you geoff.. i personally think a major part of the issue, is x's and o's.. if the game plan mgmt fit the tigers roster, then they would be more excited, and you can bench a player without yelling at him. so alot of different ways to motivate a person.. josh is absolutely and i mean 100% a terrible x and o guy.. and really maybe he is not that bad, but guess what, he has the wrong type players for the x and o he wants to run.. calipari made this same mistake, even though calipari did win some games his first 4 years against better talented teams.. josh should wake up and smell the coffee, his team is very athletic, they dont play grind it out games or pick and roll games, they play full court press (different kind of presses) and they force turnovers and score easy points, they attack the basket and if covered the pass out for the easy 3.. its so easy, not sure why josh is so hard headed, he is so hard headed? he is going to get himself fired. maybe his x and o style wins in arizona, it doesnt win here.. josh, look at calipari games in his 4th or 5th year, when cdr,dozier, all that class came in, he pressed for 40 minutes with 9-10 players rotating, they would raise their fist in the air if they could not give 100% anymore and coach would pull them for a break, if someone looked like they were not giving 100% coach cal would pull them and coach them.. this is what we want, not some slow it down, get burned by 3's because are players dont know how to switch on defense or our guard get burned.. yes the game maybe close for 10-13 minutes, but then we will burst it open with our athletic players.. im not sure why josh is so dumb he has not figured this out.. i want nothing more that coach pastner to succeed, but he is so slow to adjusting, forcing the tempo, creating a defense that causes turnovers (not rebounds) but turnovers.. josh just doesnt get it.. he is so hard headed he is going to force his way into getting fired.. and yes, other schools notice josh recruiting.. but hey your at memphis, its not that hard to recruit.. but people are noticing josh cant coach his way out of a paper bag.. we have all noticed for a long time and winning c-usa wont convince us otherwise.. c-usa was the worst basketball conference last year.. lets the dogs loose josh or lose your job, its that simple.. if we lose because we pressed full court all game, well then we lose but at least our players ran their butts off.. lets see you yell at them to run harder? maybe he doesnt press because he doesnt like to yell.. either way.. josh can seem to listen to the fans.. if a coach cant sit with the fans, then he is soon to be fired..
CDR and Dozier didn't come in the 4th or 5th year. They were the 2006 class. This would be Cal's 7th season.

Today my son Elias turns 2. Kind of unbelievable how fast time flies. He is pure happiness all the time and has changed my life completely (in a good way of course). Over the past few weeks we've noticed he's REALLY taken to some of the music I've been playing during dinner. And when I say taken to I mean dancing, singing, and generally rocking out to it. So in typical music blogger fashion I decided to chronicle them in a mix. Take a listen:
mp3: The Futureheads – Sun Goes Down
mp3: Sunglasses – Whiplash
mp3: Five O'Clock Heroes – Rough Boys
mp3: Sonic Youth – Kool Thing (Cracks Remix)
mp3: Dinosaur Bones – Birthright
mp3: Daniel J. Santillan – Do For You

Bar Owner Builds Robocop
In downtown Atlanta, Rufus Terrill didn't like some of the folk who were hanging around his bar, O'Terrills, so he built himself a simplified robocop which he controls by remote. Consisting of an old meat smoker that he says still smells like chicken, a spotlight, an IR cam, a water cannon and a loudspeaker, the bot stands 4 feet tall and weighs 300 lbs. Apparently the silly looking device is working since Terrill says there is a lot less "action" going on near his tavern. Check out the video to see it put through its paces.

Microform is a felicitous medium for the preservation of rare manuscripts, printed materials and documents against potential loss or damage resulting from excessive circulation and age, not to mention increasing their accessibility and circulation without direct contact with the originals.
The BA obtained microfilms of rare manuscripts and documents (c. 30 thousand Mss, and 50 thousand documents), significant among which are the microfilms of the manuscript collections in the Escorial Library as well as the manuscript collections of Tübingen University (Germany).
The British Library presented the BA with an exhaustive collection of copies of the Arabic, Persian, and Turkish manuscripts in the British Library numbering 14,000. It is considered the biggest collection in Europe, and the largest manuscript donation to the BA to date.
The Microform Section also comprises comprehensive and exclusive collections of national and Arabic newspapers, serving as a historical register of important events, as well as rare documents. All microform collections are now available for consultation in the Microform Reading Room.

Marian Apparitions
A Marian Apparition is defined as an event in which Mary appears to one or more persons, typically a Catholic, but not always. There is a very rigorous investigation performed by the Vatican before the Church approves of a Marian Apparition site. Marian Apparitions have been documented as far back as 39A.D. to St. James the Great.

Category: Brand Ratings -> Airline Companies -> Delta |
Delta Average Fleet Age: 15.7 Greenopia Environment Achievement:
Efforts: Delta has great environmental reporting and is one of the more environmentally transparent airlines we studied. Delta has received an award from the EPA for its recycling efforts (it has arguably one of the best recycling policies of any major airline) and Delta has a LEED certified terminal in Boston. Delta uses winglets on many of its planes which help reduce fuel consumption. Delta has been researching biofuels and we hope to see them being to incorporate alternative fuels into some of their flights. Lastly, Delta does offer carbon offset services when you purchase a ticket. These offsets come in a variety of projects ranging from the good (methane recapture) to the not so good (reforestation). Issues: Delta also does not offer many green food items on its flights, something we would like to see more airlines really embrace. Finally, Delta had a worse than average emissions per revenue passenger mile value and this is probably a reflection of it having one of the oldest fleets of any major airline. Greenopia Verdict: Delta really makes a strong effort to be green and should be commended, but its older fleet and relatively high normalized emissions hold it back just a little. Delta is positioned to become a true green leader as it begins to replace its older planes with more efficient ones. |

This week team ACNE descended on New York to open their new store at 33 Greene Street. To mark the occasion the brand brought Sweden to New York by marking the occasion with a traditional Swedish Midsummer celebration at a private dinner at Il Buco Alimentari e Vineria.
'When I am in New York, I really feel that historical references are very visible so when designing the new store I wanted to take a very Swedish slant on history and environment,' Jonny Johannson, the brand's creative director, said in a statement. 'I was inspired by the Gustavian period of Swedish design, its cleanness and purity, and I wanted to re-interpret that in a modern way.
As you would expect, the opening drew an impressive crowd. Everyone from Glenda Bailey and Hamish Bowles to Elin Kling and Hanneli Mustaparta attended.

I'd like to report a pretty serious issue with the game. Despite telling me at the menu screen that I am connected to "Rock Central" the game won't stay that way. I have been trying for a couple days now, at various times of day, assuming it was some minor hiccup with the service that would be corrected. But now I see it seems to be a full time thing, at least for me (and possibly some other folks, if I'm reading the posts right). I am connecting to the internet with no problems on any device. I am connected to Xbox Live, again with no problems in any game. But then I get to Rock Band Blitz and the game says it is connected then apparently disconnects during the song, telling me at the end that I earned nothing for my efforts before kicking me back to the menu....frustrating to say the least!
PLEASE HELP!!!!!!! Why is this happening? And why now, out of nowhere? Given that the game requires this connection for scoring purposes and cred earning, this has severely altered my game experience. I just bought this game and I already can't play it!
I would really like to see an answer to this issue from Harmonix. Please, please, please tell me what is going on here and how I can fix it because I really enjoy this game and want to get back to playing it normally. Sadly I feel like I wasted 15 bucks on a game that boots me to the menu, scoreless, after every attempt at playing it.
Sorry if something like this has been mentioned before... If I have a score that is in the top ten or around there, I like to keep an eye on it when I start the game to see if I've been pushed down or not. I think one of the "play this" tabs after the main menu should be the song with your highest leaderboard rank, or maybe even any songs in which you are in the top ten.
Even better would be if you could mark any song in your library as a favorite to display on that tabs menu. That would be awesome!! Anyone agree?
... Why isn't rock band world and all the challenges heavily integrated into the actual game!?!?! Like sure you want some presence I guess on facebook, and its nice to use rock band world when your not playing the game... but I dont want to have to keep going back and forth from my laptop to rock band blitz to start score wars and challenges. Also after you start a score war... you actually have to wait like 15 minutes for it to show up... like why? I really dont understand why there can't be another tab to have you choose challenges and start score wars. You can even add share buttons.
I mean I understand rock band is trying to get people on facebook to share that they are playing rock band so more and more people see rock band and then are like oh hey I remember rock band lets go play!
But really.... let me start my challenges from my xbox.. even if im forced to share them on facebook.. just make the whole challenge/score war thing make sense
not 15 minutes, you need to reconnect to the servers for it to show up. not just wait, just keep pressing b at the title screen till you're all the way back, then press A to reconnect
Being able to see the power-up load out on my highest scored run of a song would be cool.
I don't want to know badly enough to do something nutty like track it myself on a spreadsheet but it would be a nice thing to know and it would encourage replays using different load-outs.
Kind of along the same lines, it would be cool if there were detailed statistics about the power-ups at the results screen, i.e. How many successful/failed jackpot attempts, how many blast notes hit, etc.
What would also be useful is an on-screen timeline during gameplay that lets you know how close you are to the next checkpoint. That blue line with the rivals on it (on the right side on the screen) could have easily been replaced by this

Alimi, M.M. (University of Botswana, Department of English, http://www.ub.bw, NaN, 2008)[more][less]
Abstract: This paper examines the morphological and syntactic differences between English and Setswana pronouns, and how these differences manifest in students usage of English learners may be assisted to become more proficient in using English pronouns. An analysis of 542 essays written by second and fourth year students of the Department of English reveal the following categories of pronoun errors: the intrusion of an independent subject pronoun between a subject and its verb, the conflation of the standard expression the one...the other into the other...the other, inter substitution of they/there/their, lack of gender and case distictions, use of pronouns without antecedents and pronoun referent agreement errors. In terms of the sources of these errors, the paper shows that the first six types of errors seem to relate directly or indirectly to the morphological and syntactic structures of Setswana pronouns while the last type is largely intralingual. The paper recommends that policy, tests and exams in country. It also suggests that teachers should raise their awareness of Botswama English in order to be able to distinguish between learners usage that are unpredictable and those that have become systematic localisms, and delegate more learning resposibility to the learners themselves.

So, this past weekend I was at the Port Townsend Wooden Boat Festival, where I met builder/designer Kees Prins. He took me out sailing on my new favorite small cabin boat: Fetch. If you saw the latest issue of Small Craft Advisor, Fetch is on the cover.
The boat is an Iain Oughtred Fulmar dinghy that Kees modified by adding decks, a small cabin, and a mizzen. Here it is:
The cool thing is that the cabin top is very low--so low that you can easily see right over it from the tiller, and it doesn't spoil the looks of this very small (15' or so) boat. Part of that is because Kees raised the cockpit to make it self-bailing, another nice feature.
Here's another view:
The cockpit is small--you wouldn't want more than two people in it--but it's perfect for singlehanding, even for a lazy lugsail enthusiast who doesn't normally like to fuss with the hassles of a jib. We sailed Fetch in light winds, and pretty much kept right up with boats ten feet longer.
Even better, though--the cabin layout is perfect; the seats face aft, and are AMAZINGLY comfortable, with plenty of headroom (and I'm 6'2"). The centerboard case divides the cabin, but it actually makes a really nice armrest/place to set your coffee while you read a book and wait out the bad weather. The seat backs fold down and aft, forming the bottom of the V-berth when they're down. This is a VERY usable cabin in a tiny boat--I've looked at the Meadowbird design for a long time, but this one is better, with a really workable cabin despite its low height. Take a look:
Kees plans to write a series of articles for Small Craft Advisor detailing his modifications. Mr. Oughtred himself is considering working with Kees on possible plans. I suggest a bunch of us write to him to encourage that idea--this is the first really small cruising cabin boat that seems to work for me; the ergonomics of it are just perfect.
Thanks, Kees--I really enjoyed sailing with you, and Fetch is a great boat (as is your Townsend Tern, but that's another story).

After moving to a warm climate from the cold north, I have been in my home for a year with a fireplace. Fireplace wasn't being used and need something to give the living room some atmosphere. This log inserts are so wonderful; adds just the touch needed. Best is it will also heat the room on cold nights. Just love it.

Best when reading, meditating and kicking back with spouse for a night of TV and movies. Helps to relax after a long day without the clean up that follows with the old traditional wood fires.Instant pleasure without all the necessary logistics of firewood and the knowledge of the trees saved. The logistics process time is now spent on more needed home and family projects.Highly recommend the Duraflame DF1020ARU as an addition to any home.

Going through a walk-out basement remodel we needed a specific size and the Duraflame is perfect. Very realistic, great quality and good heat source. Have had friends order their own after seeing mine. Highly recommend. So easy -take out of box and plug in. Best I have seen and I did A LOT of shopping.
Love it!

We just received this insert. Set it up in our existing stone fireplace, plugged it in and it looks great. Amazing how realistic it looks and the beautiful ambient lighting it gives off. The heat will be great as well this winter. Also, we live in Canada and it only took 4 business days to arrive. Very impressive!

I was searching for an option to hauling wood out of the yard or heavy cases of presto logs from the grocery store. I went on line and started searching, and found this awesome option. We have been so pleased that I bought one for my sons Christmas gift. My sister owns a 100 year old craftsman home, and was told last year it was not safe to use her fire place any more. I sent her pictures of my electric fire place and she was so excited she bought one.
By Sandy
from Waymart, Pa.
These logs are so easy to use, just a click of the remote. I converted my Franklin fireplace in my sunroom and now I use that room so much more. My neighbor was leaving and saw the logs and said, "I'll come over some night for a glass of wine and sit in front of the fireplace."

A A+F Campus Dining: The school made it to the top 10 best/healthiest dinning services in the United States.
A+ A+F Campus Dining: Amazing food, guys from Haverford are constantly coming and eating here cause our food is so good!
A- A+F Campus Dining: Good on-Campus – The school is small so we only have 2 dining halls and a cafe on campus, but they do a really good job constantly providing a variety of good food. There are special dinners through out the year which are amazing and take out is available on weekdays. The local town is also pretty small, so there are not many vendors, and no money in the meal plans to spend in that regard, but they are relatively cheap and you can get a meal plan (as an upperclassmen) with money to spend at the on-campus cafe and coffee shops.
A A+F Campus Dining: Variety and Care! Bryn Mawr has a wide selection when it comes to dining options. There are only two dining halls on campus, but the staff, and campus nutritionist, do a great job of providing food options for any dietary needs. Also, it seems that much more care is put into the food that we eat. This might be due to the fact that we have a smaller student population than most colleges, but every time that I enter one of our dining halls I feel that I am eating a home cooked meal. Our theme dinners are the best!
A A+F Campus Dining: With two dining halls and two cafes, there's definitely a good amount of variety. There's a wide variety of meal plans, but you can only use your points on campus. Overall, the food is fantastic and I never get sick of it.

Written by Kaitlin Menza
Some Mawrters marvel over the quality and quantity of foods offered in the campus's three dining halls, while others argue that none of the choices offered by Dining Services are appetizing. Judging by the awards our cuisine has won, the food is not too shabby. The main meat courses are rarely the tastiest, but Mawrters tend to get very creative concocting delicacies of their own with the ingredients in the salad bar, which offers cold pasta, fruit, beans, and a wide range of dressings, and few leave the dining room hungry. Quesadillas, panini sandwiches, and fajitas are all popular dinner dishes that students can design themselves and are offered on a weekly basis. The theme dinners and holiday dinners usually get compliments. Students attribute the good food to the small quantities prepared in each kitchen and the close interaction between students and the dining staff. The food at Uncommon Grounds is a convenient place to pick up a turkey sandwich if you miss lunch or dinner.
Dining Services is giving students a few more options regarding how many meals you can pay for. Instead of requiring everyone on the meal plan to pay for unlimited all-you-can-eat meals, there will be partial meal plans available for non-freshmen. Despite these adaptations to students eating habits, most students are likely to continue to make the dining hall a popular place for dining and socializing.

Gary Schwartz, Chief of Memorial Sloan-Kettering's Melanoma and Sarcoma Service, describes two recent clinical trials of new treatments for types of sarcoma, rare cancers that can affect the bones or the body's soft tissues.
Sarcoma, a type of cancer that can affect the bones or the body's soft tissues — such as muscle, fat, and tendons — is often curable with surgery. But for those tumors that cannot be surgically removed or that come back after surgery, there have been few treatment options. This is in large part because sarcomas usually do not respond to traditional chemotherapy.
Targeted therapies, which work by taking advantage of genetic alterations in tumor cells, hold promise for bringing sarcomas under control. Now two trials of experimental drugs are showing encouraging results in treating certain subtypes of sarcoma.
"Historically, the challenge of treating sarcoma has been that it's a very complex group of different diseases," says Memorial Sloan-Kettering medical oncologist and sarcoma expert Mark A. Dickson. "Sarcoma is not one cancer, but more than 50 different subtypes. Trials that have tried to give the same drug for all sarcomas have not been successful."
To develop targeted therapies, investigators need to determine the molecular changes that cause the disease in each of the different subtypes. Memorial Sloan-Kettering is a leader in that effort, with a database that combines our collection of tumor samples from patients with information about those patients, such as age at diagnosis and details about their tumors and treatments.
"Our research is focused on looking for genes that are either mutated or amplified," says Gary K. Schwartz, Chief of Memorial Sloan-Kettering's Melanoma and Sarcoma Service. "If a gene is amplified and makes many more copies than it should, it can often be a driver for cancer."
A recent phase II trial led by Dr. Dickson focused on one of the most common types of sarcoma, called well-differentiated or de-differentiated liposarcoma, a more common type of sarcoma that originates in fat cells. The study was published online April 8 in the Journal of Clinical Oncology.
The trial was of a drug called PD0332991 (palbociclib), which targets a protein called CDK-4. That protein is overexpressed in this type of sarcoma because of a gene amplification and leads to the growth of cancerous cells. All patients in the trial had this particular molecular abnormality.
In the study, 30 patients received PD0332991 for 12 weeks. The investigators found that 70 percent of the patients did not have their disease progress during that time, which greatly exceeded the researchers' expectations. In addition, some patients had significant shrinking of their tumors.
"As far as we know, this is the first time anyone has done a phase II trial for this subtype of sarcoma, and in that way it's a pioneering study," Dr. Dickson says. "Based on our results there has been a lot of interest from doctors around the country who want to get their patients on this drug, and we are expanding the trial so that we can treat more patients."
Another trial, published in the April issue of Lancet Oncology, was led by Dr. Schwartz. In that study, also a phase II trial, investigators combined an experimental drug called cixutumumab with temsirolimus (Torisel®), a drug already approved for some forms of kidney cancer, to treat several subtypes of bone and soft tissue sarcoma.
Cixutumumab is an antibody that targets a receptor on cancer calls known as IGF-1R. Temsirolimus blocks a cancer-related pathway called mTOR. Both IGF-1R and mTOR are critical for the growth of many sarcoma types.
"You can think of mTOR as the engine of the cancer cell that's responsible for its survival, and IGF-1R as the ignition," Dr. Schwartz explains. "The idea is that you use cixutumumab to cap the ignition, so that the key can't go in the lock. But you are also adding the extra benefit of inactivating the engine itself by using temsirolimus to block mTOR."
"This is the first multicenter clinical study ever conducted to evaluate this combination," Dr. Schwartz adds.
The multicenter trial, which included 388 patients, found that the number of patients whose disease did not progress after 12 weeks of treatment was improved compared with other treatments. In addition, some patients with a type of sarcoma called solitary fibrous tumor had stable disease for more than a year. Patients with the subtypes Ewing sarcoma, osteosarcoma, and chondrosarcoma had partial shrinkage of their tumors.
Dr. Dickson and Dr. Schwartz plan to move their research forward with larger, phase III trials, but challenges remain. Dr. Schwartz notes that it is difficult to find funding from pharmaceutical companies to treat sarcomas, which are considered rare diseases. Recruiting enough patients to participate in a larger trial can also be a roadblock.
"For research on these rare cancers like sarcoma, which affects about 13,000 people per year, funding from organizations like Cycle for Survival is becoming increasingly important," Dr. Schwartz says. "Money from Cycle for Survival funded much of this research, from the basic research in the laboratory up to and including this phase II trial."
Both physicians have trials under way for other experimental sarcoma drugs and continue to focus on research looking for new targets.
Dr. Dickson's research was funded by a Career Development Award from the Conquer Cancer Foundation, Pfizer, and the National Cancer Institute under grant CA047179. Dr. Schwartz's research was funded by Cycle for Survival and the National Cancer Institute under grants CA148260 and CA140331.

Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds are no strangers to a sea of cameras aimed at them. But when they decided to marry, they wanted to celebrate in privacy—and in style. And while they remain protective of images of them on their most heartfelt occasion, they graciously let us share pictures of the elements we created together.Click through this gallery for a sneak peek of Blake's bouquet, their cake, and their sweets spread.
Weddings' style director Kate Berry created Blake Lively's lush bouquet of pink jasmine, andromeda, dusty miller, and blushing bride hydrangea. She dipped select petals in subtle rose-gold glitter to play up the embroidery of the same color on the bride's couture ballgown by Marchesa.
An avid cook, crafter, and baker, Blake envisioned an abundant dessert table overflowing with their favorite treats. The focal point was their vanilla-and-sour-cream wedding cake with peach-apricot preserves and Earl Grey-milk chocolate buttercream made by Maggie Austin Cake in Alexandria, Virginia.
On the dessert table, s'mores bars by Bakehouse Charleston were contained in pretty wrappers.
Gold foil cupcake liners held coffee-and-cream espresso beans from Nuts.com.

Silence is golden and Silentium are working hard to achieve this with their active noise reduction technology. Andy and Don keep it down with Yossi Barath.
Silentium has developed an active noise reduction system that can be implemented in a single chip. The complex (and proprietary) algorithms programmed into the chip use noise cancellation (destructive interference) to reduce the amount of sound coming from a machine to make it quieter. Ventilation systems, air conditioners, computers and data centers are all examples of where Silentium's system can be used to reduce the noise.
At CES, Silentium are releasing QB2, a headrest-embedded system which creates a bubble of quiet around a person's head, perfect for air travel or similar passenger situations. Generally, Silentium doesn't produce products but sells its technology to other companies for inclusion in their own.
All sounds intriguing.

News Quirks
Curses, Foiled Again Police said the father-and-son burglary team of Randall Popkes, 41, and Joshua Williams, 22, broke into Iowa's Des Moines Golf and Country Club and used a reciprocating saw to cut into the safe. When they couldn't get it open, they left a note that read, "(Expletive) you and your safe."
"Apparently, they were upset that they couldn't gain access to the safe," West Des Moines Police Lt. Jeff Miller said. He added the burglars settled for tennis rackets and shoes. As they sped away, however, some of the gear fell from their vehicle, attracting the attention of a security guard, who jotted down the license number, which led to their identification and arrest.
Homeland Insecurity Gen. George W. Casey Jr., the Army chief of staff, acknowledged the military is reviewing soldiers' complaints that their ammunition is inadequate for the type of fighting in Iraq and Afghanistan. Current and former soldiers interviewed by the Associated Press said the military's M855 rifle rounds, which were designed decades ago to puncture the steel helmets of Soviet soldiers from hundreds of yards away, aren't powerful enough for close-in fighting in cities and towns.
The Department of Homeland Security has awarded $381,948 in anti-terrorism grants to a private Colorado Springs shuttle-bus service that transports gamblers to casinos in three Colorado mountain towns. A Federal Emergency Management Agency official told the Colorado Springs Gazette the most recent grant of $184,415 to Ramblin Express is to provide vehicle security and GPS systems.
Peek-a-Boo David Joe Limones, 27, cut a hole in a woman's couch and hid in the carved-out space until she came home, according to police in Newburgh, N.Y., who said the woman sat on the couch and felt a bump in the cushions move. She jumped up, and Limones emerged from his hiding place, knocking a cellphone from her hand. The woman had been talking to a friend, who called police.
Identity Crises Czech Republic soccer federation official Vaclav Tichy resigned and his deputy was fired after a match in Prague at which the Latvian flag and a photo of the Latvian national soccer team were featured in the game program and the Latvian national anthem was played. The Czech team's opponent was Lithuania.
A man police chased and arrested for trying to grope a woman in Lowell, Mass., gave his name as Martin Walsh, who is the state representative from Dorchester. He told the officers they were ruining his life. "I can't believe this is happening," he said, according to the police report. "She was flirting with me, I was flirting with her."
The man later revealed he was state Sen. J. James Marzilli Jr., 50, and "began to cry," prosecutor Richard M. Mucci read from the police report at Marzilli's arraignment. "He said they could not arrest him, that his life was over."
Pump Runs Dry Nevada brothels began offering gas cards and other incentives to stem the decline in business by long-haul truckers, who Geoffrey Arnold, president of the Nevada Brothel Owners' Association, said account for 75 percent of the revenue at the state's 16 rural brothels, located along Interstate 80 and U.S. Highway 95. Arnold said business at his two I-80 brothels has dropped 19 percent this year. Meanwhile, the state's 12 other legal brothels, which are closer to Reno and Las Vegas and rely more on tourists and conventioneers, reported this year's business is up.
Un Ami de Dick Cheney Sixteen people, including children, were wounded while watching a military shooting demonstration in southeastern France when one of the soldiers opened fire with real bullets instead of blanks. A Defense Ministry official said the incident at the Laperrine military barracks occurred during a demonstration of hostage-freeing techniques and that the soldier who fired the shots has been detained.
Neck Chops Rabbinical authorities in Israel declared that giraffes are kosher. According to the newspaper Yedioth Ahronoth, veterinarians treating an adult female giraffe at the Safari Park in Ramat Gan noticed its milk clotted in the way required for kosher certification and submitted a sample for verification. Noting that the giraffe is a grazing animal with cloven hooves and chews its cud, Rabbi Shlomo Mahfoud said, "The giraffe has all the signs of a ritually pure animal, and the milk that forms curds strengthened that."
Excrement Adventure Rescuers responding to reports of a man stuck in a portable toilet in Lebanon, Pa., found Shannon P. Hunter, 31, drunk, naked and wedged up to his waist. Deputy Fire Commissioner Chris Miller told the Lebanon Daily News Hunter had been trapped for about 30 minutes and suffered scrapes and abrasions around his hips. "I'm not sure what exactly was taking place inside the port-o-pot," Miller said. "He would only say he needed to use the bathroom, and he claimed he fell in the toilet. When I asked him why he was naked, he just shrugged his shoulders."
Stretched to the Limit A South African man claimed to have made the world's first bungee jump using an elastic rope made from condoms. Jumpmaster Carl Dionisio, 37, who plunged 100 feet at the Wavehouse at Gateway, said he and his assistant, Michael "Sniper" Xaba, worked on the idea of the condom rope for more than a year. Making the rope took four months and 18,500 condoms. "It was difficult as the condoms are slippery," Dionisio said. "When we tied knots they would just slip out." He then cut the tips off the condoms and made loops.
Dionisio said he was never concerned that the rope would be strong enough. "Latex is latex," he explained.

I loved "Marley and Me" until, at the Things' school book fair this past autumn, I saw the author had created a 40-page children's picture book based on it ... and was selling it for $16.99 a pop.
Shortly thereafter, whilst browsing the local book dealers' wares, I stumbled upon Anna Quindlen's "Good Dog. Stay." It's a "tribute" to her deceased black Lab filled with all the dog-as-methaphor-for-living-life-to-the-fullest-babble you can get from a Dr. Phil special.
And I like Anna's work. But 96 pages long -- half of them photos of dogs she didn't own, the other half in VERY BIG, DOUBLE-SPACED TYPE. -- at $14.95??!
I seriously thought of penning a parody of AQ's book called "Dead Dog. Pay." But I think more highly of dogs, even those little yippie-yappie celebrity fashion accessory ones.
And, I think more highly of you and your hard earned money.
On to my expired canine companion ...
Kiner (rhymes with "finer," "diner" and "occasional pain in my behiner") was born on the wrong side of Fort Worth. If the breeder had, say, tripped over one of the rusty appliances on her front lawn and failed to flag us down, we would have driven on.
Kiner was my first dog, a 30th birthday present from My Love. He came with mange and a rashy crotch that required periodic shampooing and ointment for his first six years of life. Yes, he was every boy's dream.
As a pup, he once ate the liner out of a women's bathing suit. What woman ... that's best left unsaid. This impromptu snack caused much diarrhea and puking, followed by surgery, followed by more diarrhea and puking.
Best prep for fatherhood ever.
Still, Kiner always loved going to the vet. He once pulled me across six lanes of traffic just so the docs and technicians would give him a biscuit and a good scratch in his sweet spot (you know, the one that makes a hind leg go crazy). I eventually had to carry his 75 pounds of fur and tongue out of the place because they wanted to close up and spend the High Holy Days with their families.
When his tail got a-whippin' with delight, it carried more force than a L.A. policeman's billy club. He regularly knocked over drinks, toys and small children who quickly developed the "Kiner flinch" to protect their little genitals and faces.
Kiner hated thunder and loud trucks. He'd hide under the bed every Thursday, all day, in fear of the trash and recycling men driving around our neighborhood. Wouldn't even take a pee break.
He never wanted to be outside unless you went with him. At least, until he developed lymphoma at age 7. That winter, he'd go outside and lay in the snow around the Things' swing set. The cold numbed the pain.
Kiner had three remissions over seven months. He made it to Christmas. He made it to New Year's. He made it to his 8th birthday. But, in late March 2006, he stopped doing what he loved most -- eating. Even my special homemade high-fat, low-carb, anti-cancer meals (mmm, liver and fat back) didn't appeal to him any more. He'd just lay on my office couch all day, looking sad and exhausted.
We both knew it was time.
The day we put him down was the worst of my life. I had lost three grandparents and my two best friends already in my life, put I didn't have to give the order for their deaths and watch it happen. (I wasn't even that sad the day Thing 1 was diagnosed with juvenile dermatomyositis because I didn't understand the disease enough at the time to know how bad it could be. I was just relieved we finally knew what was wrong with her after two months of stumbling in the dark.)
When Kiner's final Friday morning ended, the medicine entered his veins and forced his weak brown eyes closed. I hugged him and cried and told him he was a good dog.
"No," our vet said, "he was a great dog."
That was two years ago.
Since, Kiner has been in powdered form, sitting in a flower print tin on the top bookshelf in our family room. (He was an indoor dog, so it's not like he's missing the trees.)
But My Love has always been a little creeped out by his gray, dehydrated presence. It's not like his spirit comes whooshing out to snatch the tortilla chips right before she put them in her mouth like the live version used to do, though.
So stay tuned for the next installment in which I actually leave the house to bring Kiner, or part of him, back to his homeland of, gulp, ... Texas.

President Barack Obama's Cabinet -- currently undergoing a mid-presidency shuffle -- receives mixed reviews in a CNN/ORC International poll released Wednesday. POL-George-HW-Bush-Condition
Former President George H.W. Bush remains in an intensive care unit at a Houston hospital with a "stubborn fever that is slightly elevated," his spokesman told CNN on Wednesday.
Washington Metropolitan Police Department is investigating whether NBC's David Gregory violated D.C. gun laws when he displayed what he described as a 30 round magazine as part of an interview during Sunday's "Meet the Press."
Government borrowing will hit the debt ceiling on Monday, Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner said in a letter to Congress Wednesday. As a result, the Treasury Department will soon start using what it calls "extraordinary measures" to prevent government borrowing from exceeding the legal limit, Geithner wrote. On Monday, debt subject to the limit was just $95 billion below the $16.394 trillion debt ceiling.
The return of the so-called marriage penalty could cost many couples more than $2,000 in higher 2013 taxes if Congress doesn't get its act together and fix the fiscal cliff.
Starbucks is launching a political campaign this week it hopes will get the attention of Washington policymakers who have been unable to reach a deal to avert the fiscal cliff.
The recovery in the housing market continues to pick up steam, as home prices posted the biggest percentage gain in more than two years in the latest reading of the closely followed S&P/Case-Shiller index.
Since the housing bubble burst in Florida five years ago, more than 400,000 borrowers have had their homes foreclosed on by their lenders. But for some, it's payback time. Hundreds of homeowners and condo associations are foreclosing on banks that have failed to pay dues and other expenses on the properties they've repossessed.
U.S. stocks faltered Wednesday as political wrangling over the fiscal cliff continued to dominate investor sentiment.
