The article analyses the mathematical contents of four texts by Nasir al-Din al-Tusi (1201-1274), one of the most original and prolific scientists of the classical Islamic tradition. These four texts on mathematics are: Al-Tusi's Tahrir (Exposition) of Euclid's Elements, the text Shakl al-Qatta', The Risala al-Shafiya in which Al-Tusi made a substantial contribution to solve the classical problem of parallel lines, and finally the treatise of artithmetic Jami' al-hisab.
This article aims to give an overview of the formation and development of mathematical studies and the work of famous mathematician in the Ottoman State over a 600 year period, from the period preceding the conquest of Constantinople to the early 20th century. Dozens of mathematicians and hundreds of mathematical works flourished and they constitute rich material for ongoing investigation.
The Kerala School of astronomy and mathematics was an Indian school of mathematics and astronomy founded by Madhava of Sangamagrama in Kerala, South India, which included among its members several scientists. The school flourished in the 14th-16th centuries. In attempting to solve astronomical problems, the Kerala School independently created a number of important mathematics concepts. In this well documented article, Dennis Francis Almeida and George Gheverghese Joseph reconstruct the mathematics of Kerala School and attempt to show the possible ways of its transmission to modern Europe.
The complex of disciplines composed of mathematics, architecture and art in Islamic civilisation has been an important field of recent research. The scholars showed the interaction between mathematical reflexion and procedures and their implementation in designing concrete and symbolic forms in buildings, decoration and design. Furthermore, recent scholarship pointed out the amazing progress that this marriage brought about in prefiguring outstanding mathematical results that scientists proved only in late 20th century. In the following survey, Professor Salim Al-Hassani explores the various facets of this exciting subject that is still full of discoveries to come. By drawing attention to the ongoing debates in scholarly circles among physicicts, mathematicians and historians of science, art and architecture, he shows how the connection between theoretical and applied mathematics was fruitful and creative in the Islamic tradition.
Abu Bakr Muhammed Al-Karaji is a Muslim mathematician and engineer from the late 10th century-early 11th century. Of Persian origin, he spent an important part of his scientific life in Baghdad where he composed ground breaking mathematical books. Al-Karaji is also the author of Inbat al-miyah al-khafiya (The Extraction of Hidden Waters), a technical treatise that reveals such a profound knowledge of hydrology that it should be celebrated as the oldest text of its kind in this field. The book provides an outstanding study on the different kinds of waters, the methods to find the water level, the description of instruments for surveying, the construction of the conduits, their lining, protection against decay, and their cleaning and maintenance. In this article the scientific work of Al-Karaji is characterized, details of his biography are surveyed and a special attention is paid to expound the contents of his treatise of hydology.
The following article focuses on the cubic measure of the volume of the sphere in Arabic mathematics. After a short presentation of the Greek and Chinese ancient legacies on this topic, the article surveys thoroughly the different formulas methods proposed by the mathematicians of the Arabic-Islamic civilization from the 9th to the 17th century to measure the volume of the sphere. The achievements of eminent scholars are thus presented: Banu Musa, Al-Buzgani, Al-Karaji, Ibn Tahir al-Baghdadi, Ibn al-Haytham, Ibn al-Yasamin, Al-Khawam al-Baghdadi, Kamal al-Din al-Farisi, Jamshid al-Kashi, and Baha' al-Din al-'Amili.
In this important article, Professor Ahmed Djebbar, the renowned scholar and specialist of the history of Arabic sciences, especially in the Islamic West, presents a general survey on mathematical activities in the Medieval Maghrib since the 9th century. Relying on his own studies and on a direct knowledge of the original sources, the author draws a rich picture of scientific activity in the Islamic west and thus shows the importance of the contribution of Maghribi mahematicians to the Arabic and Islamic mathematical tradition.

An itinerant ex-military investigator is tasked with solving a shooting spree that isn't quite as cut-and-dry as it first seems as author Lee Child's 2005 novel One Shot comes to the big screen courtesy of writer/director Christopher McQuarrie. When a crazed sniper guns down five seemingly random people on a crowded Pittsburgh riverfront, Det. Emerson (David Oyelowo) quickly amasses enough evidence at the scene to implicate an unstable ex-military sniper named James Barr (Joseph Sikora). Upon being questioned by Emerson and DA Alex Rodin (Richard Jenkins), however, Barr demands to speak with Jack Reacher (Tom Cruise). A former military investigator who fell off the grid following his service, Reacher soon shows up on the scene and begins gathering clues with the aid of talented defense attorney Helen Rodin (Rosamund Pike), the daughter of the DA. Meanwhile, when Reacher is assaulted in a local bar, he correctly surmises that someone is determined to impede his investigation. His theory plays out when he becomes the prime suspect in the murder of a young woman shortly thereafter. Now, with the police closing in from one side and a gang of ruthless killers gaining ground on the other, Reacher must use his formidable detective skills in order to catch the gunman and uncover his true motives. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

Director Lasse Hallström offers a brisk account of the scam that shook the literary community with this semi-comic biographical drama starring Richard Gere as the man who sold a fraudulent biography of Howard Hughes to publishing giant McGraw Hill. The year was 1971; the Vietnam War was raging and protestors filled the streets. Clifford Irving (Gere) was a struggling author with bold ambitions, and the determination needed to see them through. When Irving's attempt to sell his latest novel to McGraw Hill via his in-house publisher, Andrea Tate (Hope Davis), falls through at the last minute, the frustrated author loudly proclaims that his next novel will be "the book of the century." Upon returning to his wife Edith's (Marcia Gay Harden) makeshift studio, the humiliated author catches a glimpse of eccentric billionaire Howard Hughes on a magazine cover. Later, almost jokingly, Irving and his best friend Dick Suskind (Alfred Molina) begin to fantasize about a scenario in which the author convinces his publishers that he has been personally selected by Hughes to pen the billionaire's memoirs. The revenge fantasy becomes a complicated reality, however, when Irving and Suskind approach skeptical McGraw Hill heavy Shelton Fisher (Stanley Tucci) with a series of forged letters presumably written by Hughes himself and offering unwavering support for the project. His credibility continually questioned as the ante is upped at every turn, Irving is forced to maintain the increasingly difficult charade as he strong-arms McGraw Hill to pay "Hughes" an unheard-of one million dollars for the rights to his life story, acquires a the illegally procured documents that will provide the foundation for the book, and works around the clock to meet his publisher's deadline. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

Forget terrorists or hijackers -- there's a handful of deadly assassins aboard a jet liner and they don't even have arms or legs in this airborne thriller. Neville Flynn (Samuel L. Jackson) is an FBI agent handling what seems like a routine assignment -- serving as bodyguard for Sean Jones (Nathan Phillips), a Hawaiian surfer dude who is flying to California to testify in a high-profile criminal trial after witnessing mobster Eddie Kim (Byron Lawson) murdering one of his underlings. However, Flynn's job gets a lot more challenging when he discovers Kim's associates don't want Jones to talk, and have devised a unique way to ensure his silence. A cache of highly dangerous poisonous snakes has been hidden on board the jet, and is released using a timed mechanism once the flight is well underway. The snakes quickly attack several members of the flight crew and are eagerly eying the passengers when Flynn decides its time to get medieval on the reptiles. Also starring Rachel Blanchard, Benjamin McKenzie, and Mark Houghton, Snakes on a Plane was produced under the title of Pacific Air Flight 121, but in several interviews Samuel L. Jackson expressed his enthusiasm for the script's original title, Snakes on a Plane, and the high-concept moniker quickly made the film's title and theme a favorite with bloggers and on Internet fan sites all over the world. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

History's most renowned ladies' man finally meets his match in this historical romance laced with comedy and adventure. In Venice in 1753, Giacomo Casanova (Heath Ledger) is a notorious playboy whose way with women goes too far when he's caught leaving the bedroom of a novice nun, and one of the leading prosecutors of the Inquisition, Pucci (Jeremy Irons), puts him on trial. The Doge (Tim McInnerny), Venice's political point man, is a friend of Casanova's and pulls strings to get him off the hook and allow him to stay in the city, but under one condition -- he must take a wife and remain faithful to her. Casanova sets his sights on Victoria (Natalie Dormer), a lovely young maiden who is obviously taken with the handsome ladykiller, but he's not the only one who wants her hand. Giovanni Bruni (Charlie Cox) is a young man who is very much in love with Victoria, and in order to move him out of the picture, Casanova challenges him to a duel. However, when Casanova is bested in swords in the challenge, he discovers he's actually been parrying with Giovanni's sister, Francesca (Sienna Miller). As Casanova gets to know Francesca, he discovers she's a gifted writer and a bright and independent woman as well as a good hand with a sword, and he comes to the realization that she's the woman he wants to take to the altar. However, Francesca has already been promised to the vain and chubby Papprizzio (Oliver Platt), a man she's never met, and she doesn't seem at all interested in the notorious Casanova. Casanova also stars Lena Olin, and Omid Djalili. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

Antonio Banderas plays the title role in this cable-TV reenactment of a little-known chapter in the life of Mexican revolutionary Pancho Villa. The year is 1914: With Villa's war of rebellion against the Huerta forces going badly, he hits upon a brilliant method to finance his crusade. Actually, the idea is brought to him: American filmmakers D.W. Griffith (Colm Feore) and Harry Aiken (Jim Broadbent), then busy at work on The Birth of a Nation, approach Villa with a request that he sell them the movie rights to his revolution. Acting as Griffith and Aiken's representative, junior executive Frank Thayer (Eion Bailey) tags along with Villa as the rebel leader willingly "directs" the film of his campaign, even going so far as to delay mass executions until early morning so that the cameramen won't "lose the sun." Ultimately, Villa's dreams of cinematic glory are dashed when the American public, goaded on by certain special interest groups, turns against Pancho and his noble cause. By turns comic, tragic, gruesome, and ironic, And Starring Pancho Villa as Himself was first telecast by HBO on September 7, 2003. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Directing his first film since 1998's Lethal Weapon 4, Richard Donner helmed this big-budget adaptation of Michael Crichton's novel of the same name. Featuring a script by first-time screenwriter George Nolfi, Timeline begins in France in the near future. A group of students from Yale are there studying a medieval site, when their professor, played by Billy Connolly, mysteriously goes missing. To make matters more enigmatic, the students are then taken back to the United States by a shadowy technology company called ITC, led by Robert Doniger (David Thewlis). The eccentric Doniger explains that because of a machine that his company built, their professor is trapped in 14th century France. In order to rescue him, two of the students, Chris Hughes (Paul Walker) and Kate Erickson (Frances O'Connor), along with Andre Marek (Gerard Butler), an archeological site manager, must travel to France, circa 1357, amid archaic war, deadly diseases, and other unexpected pitfalls. Meanwhile, David Stern (Ethan Embry), a third student, stays behind to keep an eye on the shady Doniger. ~ Matthew Tobey, Rovi

Jacqueline Susann spent a long career on the edges of show business as an actress and model, but it never really paid off until she quit acting to write her first novel. Valley of the Dolls was a proudly sleazy potboiler that sold 26 million copies and had readers wondering which characters matched up to which real-life show-biz figures. Susann wrote several other successful novels, but fame and fortune didn't make her life any less tumultuous; she had well-publicized problems with drugs and alcohol and a series of free-wheeling affairs, although she stayed with her husband Irving Mansfield until her death in 1974 at the age of 56. Isn't She Great is a screen biography that focuses on Susann's roller-coaster literary career, with Bette Midler as Susann and Nathan Lane as Mansfield; David Hyde Pierce, Stockard Channing, John Cleese, and Sarah Jessica Parker round out the supporting cast. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

Roland Emmerich and Dean Devlin, the director/producer team responsible for such sci-fi blockbusters as Independence Day, Stargate, and Godzilla, take a step back in time with this drama set during the American Revolution. Farmer Benjamin Martin (Mel Gibson) was born and raised in South Carolina, and fought bravely during the French-Indian wars. But since the death of his wife, Benjamin has renounced violence and quietly tends his crops, raising his seven children alone. In 1776, over Benjamin's objections, his oldest son Gabriel (Heath Ledger) joins the fight against the British. Gabriel returns from battle seriously wounded, with Lord General Cornwallis (Tom Wilkinson) calling for his arrest. A skirmish breaks out on Benjamin's plantation, and one of his children is killed as Gabriel is captured by Col. Tavington (Jason Isaacs) and sentenced to hang. Benjamin sets aside his vow of pacifism and rescues Gabriel; with the help of his former comrade-in-arms Harry Burwell (Chris Cooper), the father and son form a regiment of Carolina patriots whose cunning and ruthlessness make them heroes among the colonists -- and wanted men by British troops. Loosely adapted from the true story of Francis Marion and filmed on location in South Carolina, The Patriot was the first feature film made with the cooperation of the Smithsonian Institute, who advised the producers on historical accuracy. Joely Richardson also stars as Charlotte, Benjamin's sister-in-law who helps him care for the children. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

Director James D. Stern debuts with this darkly comedic, archly ironic look at America's obsession with guns. The film opens with Helen and Warren Harding (Joan Allen and Jeff Daniels) awaking one night to the sounds of their suburban trophy getting broken into. Warren grabs his trusty handgun and blows away the intruder, only to complain about the blood spots on his newly purchased bathrobe from Sundance. The unlucky guy turns out to be Warren's business partner, and it does not take long for him to wonder out loud if his wife and the dead man were having an affair. Meanwhile, Warren's lawyer Tim (Andre Braugher), whose civil-rights leading father was gunned down when he was a boy, receives a handsome gun from his film fanatic boyfriend Chris (David Schwimmer). Others involved include the young nymphet Annabel Lee (Anna Paquin) and her thuggishly violent brother Sidney (Giovanni Ribisi); Mr. Morgan (Gary Sinise), an eccentric and extremely paranoid Internet tycoon; and Tennel (Josh Brolin), a video store manager turned poet. All of these characters have their own personal axes to grind and all have easy access to guns. The result is as violent as it is senseless. All the Rage was screened at the 1999 Toronto Film Festival. ~ Jonathan Crow, Rovi

When the salvage tug Sea Star is caught unprepared in a violent storm, it slowly sinks, and the crew, led by Captain Everton (Donald Sutherland), wander upon another ship for refuge. The ship, apparently deserted, turns out to be a Russian research vessel loaded with high-tech electronics. The Sea Star crew, which includes hot-head Kelly "Kit" Foster (Jamie Lee Curtis) and Steve Baker (William Baldwin), soon find that they are not alone, and they also learn the horrible fate of the original crew. The ship had taken on an energy-based alien life-form capable of constructing bodies out of human tissue as easily as electronic parts. The life-form wants to inhabit the planet earth but first must rid the world of the virus that infects it and could kill it -- man. John Bruno, special effects supervisor on Terminator 2 tries to reinvent the haunted house sub-genre in his directorial debut, much as Ridley Scott did in Alien. ~ Ron Wells, Rovi

In the Babe tradition of talking animatronic animals, this comedy adventure gets underway when animal-research-lab janitor Misha (Tony Shalhoub) expresses concern for a Blue-crown Conure parrot named Paulie (voice of Jay Mohr) caged in a dank basement. Misha settles back as Paulie tells his life story, seen in flashback: When Paulie was owned by little Marie (Hallie Kate Eisenberg), the parrot helped the little girl get rid of her stutter. After Marie tried to teach Paulie how to fly, he wound up in a pawnshop owned by Artie (Buddy Hackett), where he got an education in one-liners. Paulie and Ivy (Gena Rowlands) learn Marie's family is in LA, so Ivy agrees to drive Paulie cross-country in her RV. However, Marie goes blind and dies. Paulie is forced to fly to LA, where small-time entrepreneur Ignacio (Cheech Marin), with an eye for talent, talons and tacos, puts Paulie to work as a dancer at his taco-stand, where Paulie gets a birds-eye view of a female parrot with pretty plumage. Unfortunately, researcher Dr. Reingold (Bruce Davison), convinced Paulie can bring him academic recognition, steps in with a false promise to link the parrot up with Marie. Betrayed, Paulie refuses to speak anything other than the standard "want-a-cracker" lines, resulting in solitary confinement. Misha, who knows why the caged bird talks, hopes to free Paulie for an eventual reunion with Marie. Animal stunt coordinator Boone Narr and Stan Winston animatronics brought Paulie to life. For another fine-feathered film, see Dean Riesner's Bill and Coo (1947); the film's all-bird cast (dressed in human clothing) brought a "Special Award" for producer Ken Murray during the 1948 Oscar ceremony. ~ Bhob Stewart, Rovi

Based on Scott B. Smith's bone-chilling 1993 novel, A Simple Plan is a bit of a departure for horror film director Sam Raimi. Instead of flying eyeballs and dancing corpses, A Simple Plan is a taut crime thriller in the vein of Joel Coen's Academy Award-winning Fargo. Set during the white winters of Minnesota, this story tells the eerie tale of Hank and Jacob Mitchell (played by Bill Paxton and Billy Bob Thornton) who, along with a buddy, find a downed single-engine plane buried in the snowy woods. Inside it is a decaying pilot and a bag carrying four million dollars in one-hundred-dollar bills. The men decide to hide the money until spring when the snow is melted and the plane is found. If no one notices the missing money at that time, they will split it and live a wealthy new life. A simple plan, right? Wrong. Much like Humphrey Bogart's The Treasure of the Sierra Madre, things can only get worse, as distrust and greed creep into the minds of the principals. They find it difficult to decide which one gets to hold the money -- and even more impossible to keep from dipping into the stash until spring. And so on. It also becomes increasingly tough to keep a secret of this magnitude. And if all this doesn't get moviegoers' brains working, it seems there are suspicious characters in town who just may be able to link them to the plane, forcing the more dangerous and bloody question of what to do with those people and how to cover their tracks. ~ Chris Gore, Rovi

Kevin Hooks (Passenger 57) directed this action drama about an ex-convict tricked into trucking illegal weapons across state lines. Truckdriver Jack Crews (Patrick Swayze) fell asleep at the wheel, resulting in an accident that brought him a conviction of vehicular manslaughter and a two-year prison sentence. Minus a license to drive the big rigs, Jack works for a trucking firm as a mechanic to support his wife (Brenda Strong) and daughter (Erin Broderick). His paycheck doesn't cover his overdue mortgage payments, so Jack reluctantly accepts an offer from his new boss Cutler (Graham Beckel) to make $10,000 "off the books" with a no-questions-asked delivery of toilets from Georgia to New Jersey. Jack has doubts after he goes to Georgia to get his rig; Cutler's associate Red (Meat Loaf) gives Jack a driving partner (Randy Travis) and an armed duo (Gabriel Casseus and Brian Vincent). After the four depart, Red orders others to hijack the cargo. A lengthy chase begins -- with various vehicles from motorcycles to 18-wheelers trying to get Jack off the road. After Jack learns his truck is not flush with toilets but instead is filled with a cargo of AK-47s, he phones Cutler to resign, prompting Cutler to take Jack's wife and child as hostages. Jack then moves from neutral to high gear -- with smash-ups and shootouts just around the next curve. The soundtrack includes Rhett Akins' new interpretation of "Drivin' My Life Away" by Eddie Rabbit (who died at the age of 53 during the week this film was released). ~ Bhob Stewart, Rovi

Steven Spielberg directed this powerful, realistic re-creation of WWII's D-day invasion and the immediate aftermath. The story opens with a prologue in which a veteran brings his family to the American cemetery at Normandy, and a flashback then joins Capt. John Miller (Tom Hanks) and GIs in a landing craft making the June 6, 1944, approach to Omaha Beach to face devastating German artillery fire. This mass slaughter of American soldiers is depicted in a compelling, unforgettable 24-minute sequence. Miller's men slowly move forward to finally take a concrete pillbox. On the beach littered with bodies is one with the name "Ryan" stenciled on his backpack. Army Chief of Staff Gen. George C. Marshall (Harve Presnell), learning that three Ryan brothers from the same family have all been killed in a single week, requests that the surviving brother, Pvt. James Ryan (Matt Damon), be located and brought back to the United States. Capt. Miller gets the assignment, and he chooses a translator, Cpl. Upham (Jeremy Davis), skilled in language but not in combat, to join his squad of right-hand man Sgt. Horvath (Tom Sizemore), plus privates Mellish (Adam Goldberg), Medic Wade (Giovanni Ribisi), cynical Reiben (Edward Burns) from Brooklyn, Italian-American Caparzo (Vin Diesel), and religious Southerner Jackson (Barry Pepper), an ace sharpshooter who calls on the Lord while taking aim. Having previously experienced action in Italy and North Africa, the close-knit squad sets out through areas still thick with Nazis. After they lose one man in a skirmish at a bombed village, some in the group begin to question the logic of losing more lives to save a single soldier. The film's historical consultant is Stephen E. Ambrose, and the incident is based on a true occurance in Ambrose's 1994 bestseller D-Day: June 6, 1944. ~ Bhob Stewart, Rovi

A mythological creature stalks the halls of a museum during a society fundraiser in this cheap sci-fi horror genre knock-off of Alien (1979). Penelope Ann Miller stars as Dr. Margo Green, an evolutionary biologist at Chicago's Field Museum of Natural History who receives a shipment of artifacts from a colleague performing fieldwork in Brazil. Among the contents are leaves containing a rare fungus that, unbeknownst to Green or anyone else, attracts the palate of a rapidly mutating, lizard-like monster called Kothoga that has stowed away on a Brazilian freighter and has found a subterranean route into the museum from Lake Michigan. Before long, several museum employees have become decapitated snack food for the beast, which prefers to dine on human hypothalamuses and pituitary glands. Despite dire warnings from the museum staff, a gruff coroner (Audra Lindley) and the investigating detective, Lt. Vincent D'Agosta (Tom Sizemore), the Windy City's oblivious mayor orders a black-tie museum fundraiser to proceed. During the event, the building's high-tech security system locks Green, D'Agosta, the mayor, and many chi-chi party guests in with the hungry animal, forcing everyone to attempt an escape through an underground waterway with which Kothoga is all too familiar. ~ Karl Williams, Rovi

High schooler Angus (Charlie Talbert), a jumbo-sized lad, seems underappreciated in all aspects of his life: he is a standout offensive lineman on the football team, but golden-boy quarterback Rick (James Van der Beek) gets all the accolades for his blood, sweat, and pass-blocking; he is also an outstanding student, but his classmates still regard him as a dork; the girl of his dreams (Arian Richards), Rick's girlfriend, seems to ignore him. Only when Angus musters the courage to put on a maroon tuxedo and head off to the school dance at the urging of his loving, free-spirit mom (Kathy Bates) does he finally get the recognition he deserves (as does Rick, who attempts to publicly humiliate Angus with a cruel prank). While the story is familiar, director Patric Johnson and the entire cast infuse the film with real warmth, making Angus a winner (as does its refreshing attitude toward violence). ~ Jeremy Beday, Rovi

Released in the US on cable television, Blue Ice stars Michael Caine as an older, tireder version of his 1960s "Harry Palmer" character (his name, in fact, is Harry Anders). An M16 agent-turned-nightclub owner, Caine is a man of steadfast loyalties. Thus he takes it personally when several friends from his espionage days are mysteriously killed. Caine investigates on his own, which brings him in very close proximity with enigmatic consul's wife Sean Young. Befitting the fact that Caine's character is a jazz fancier, Blue Ice boasts an evocative musical score by Michael Kamen, of Lethal Weapon and Die Hard fame. Watch for jazz great Bobby Short and an unbilled Bob Hoskins. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Thursday, January 17, 2013
The man accused of killing an Anniston police officer in 2011 may been deemed competent to stand trial. 25-year-old Joshua Eugene Russell was in court Wednesday where prosecutors and defense attorneys discussed results from an IQ test he was given in July of 2012.
According to The Anniston Star, psychologist Glen King administered the test at the Etowah County Jail and believes Russell intentionally scored a 52 to avoid the death penalty. The U.S. Supreme Court ruled in 2002 that defendants scoring less than 70 on an IQ test are considered mentally disabled and are protected by an Eighth Amendment right that bans cruel and unusual punishment.
King said school records show Russell scored a 93 on a similar test while he was in school and also had passing grades in math, science, and history classes which would imply Russell does not suffer from a mental disability.
Defense attorneys asked Circuit Judge Brian Howell to consider sending Russell to a secure medical facility for further evaluation. Another hearing is scheduled for February 22.
Russell has been charged with capital murder in the 2011 death of 27-year-old Justin Sollohub, who was shot and killed while chasing a suspect.

Men burned at recycling plant
By Brian Stanley email@example.com February 9, 2013 7:06PM
JOLIET — Two men were burned by melting plastic when a machine caught fire at a plant early Saturday.
Battalion Chief Ron Schroeder said firefighters were called at 12:30 a.m. to Green Earth Plastic Recycling, 711 E. Benton St.
"An electrical motor shorted out and caused an arcing fire that spread to several cardboard boxes next to the machinery," Schroeder said.
The sprinkler system activated and extinguished most of the flames, but two men were injured when plastic inside the equipment heated up and errupted.
"Two men suffered second-degree burns to their upper bodies — face, hands and arms. One man also had burns on his back," Schroeder said.
Both men were taken to Silver Cross Hospital. Their injuries are not considered life-threatening, according to reports.

Our room was even more beautiful than pictured […] online and there was a bottle of wine and wine glasses waiting for us on the fireplace mantel. An espresso machine complete with espresso cups (not paper) was another delightful surprise as well as the coffee maker with mugs that were nicely concealed in a beautiful cabinet.

My wife and I have been staying at the Vintage Inn about once a year for over 15 years. It's an extremely pleasant place to stay--upscale without being snooty. I strongly recommend the Vintage Inn as a base of operations for Napa wine tasting. For those into spas, Vintage Inn residents have access to the spa a their sister property down the street. […] I marked the condition of the rooms as only 4 star because there's a slight sense of them being shop-worn. Not shabby or dirty, just not totally up-to-date. That said, I noticed this visit that they are remodeling the rooms a section at a time. Construction noise wasn't a problem, but you could see the work being done. All-in-all a great place to stay.

Looked everywhere for info on this.
Couldn't find any.
What triggers it? Help me fill the gaps and correct me if I'm wrong on the last one.
- Normal attack: YES (obviously)
- Splash attack: ?
- Mock of brilliance: ?
- Ultimate: NO (unless it was a bug)
appreciate it.
They all do.

[1:48:38 PM] Bdiz: wanna play lol and mb kiss a little? x)
Thanks xSai.
Good to hear.
I coulda sworn I ultied and My hp didn't change.
Maybe some creeps did the last hit.
One of few explanations.
Mechanics like these should be compiled and stickied imo.
Others i can think of is spells that work with null stone/shrunken head/stone skin and many other subtleties..
Apparently iirc Mock of Brilliance wasnt giving Bloodhunter his hp boost in HoN like it did in DotA, though it may of been fixed, dont play the hero so im not sure.
basically if its woring correctly anything that he gets a killing blow from should proc it. i remember once i got a hand of the midas in dota and was running away from someone in neuts used it on a centaur got back hp then killed him. (forget its name in hon its the one that gives +gold and instant ill 2 a creep
Any time Blood Hunter gets a final blow through any means Feast gets triggered, including Mock of Brilliance.
Not sure if it's fixed or not, but his ultimate didn't seem to give him HP from Feast before...

text: SIMCOE COUNTY — Teachers across Simcoe County showed up to work dressed in black Wednesday morning to protest and mourn the loss of their collective bargaining rights. On Tuesday, the provincial legislature voted 82 to 15 to pass Bill 115 that allows the government to impose a contract on teachers that freezes wages for at least two years, reduces sick days and halts grid increases. Late Tuesday afternoon and into the evening, dozens of public school elementary and secondary union representatives gathered at the office of District 17 of the Ontario Secondary Schools Teachers' Federation at 63 Collier St. in Barrie. Ian Tudor, president of District 17, said high school teachers are being asked by their union to give up participating in extra-curricular activities only on Wednesdays commencing Sept. 12. "We've also asked our members to wear black clothing or wear black armbands in response to the passing of Bill 115 on Tuesday," Tudor said. Elementary teachers are being urged by their leadership to "press the pause button" when it comes to participating in before or after school activities. Sam Hammond, president of the Elementary Teachers' Federation of Ontario (EFTO) said his 76,000 members are being asked, "to take a pause in any volunteer activities they are now doing and focus on students in the classroom". Premier Dalton McGuinty initiated Bill 115 to battle Ontario's $15 billion deficit, gaining the support of the Conservatives in the process. EFTO members will begin "McGuinty Mondays" next week, refraining from attending any meetings within the school system. "I'm not setting a time limit on it," Hammond said. They are also being encouraged to show up for work no earlier than 30 minutes before the start of the school day or leave more than 30 minutes after the end of the day. "We will attempt to go through the Ontario Labour Relations Act (to challenge the government's legislation)," Tudor said. "This has changed the landscape of collective bargaining." Karen Littlewood, first vice president of District 17, said, "I'm very disappointed the Liberal government has taken this path to remove collective bargaining and strip our collective agreement. We want to be able to negotiate locally with our school boards. It's an issue between us and our employer, the Simcoe County District School Board." Teacher unions are expected to protest outside MPP offices across the county on Friday, Sept. 14. They are reaching out to other unions to demonstrate their support on Friday as well. Littlewood said she will be part of a large contingent demonstrating outside Education Minister Laurel Broten's office on Friday. with files from Torstar news service

When Tyler Thiessen proposed to Jessie Turner, he gave her a travel journal (with an inscription about their new path together) and two fake plane tickets wrapped in a vintage map of Europe. After six years together, on a beautiful June day, they tied the knot in Winnipeg, Canada, with a wedding that embraced their shared love of travel with an "away we go" theme.
Jessie and Tyler designed their invitation suite themselves. After all, they met back in college in the same graphic-design program and today run a design and illustration business called One Plus One Design.
The invitation's design incorporates the venue, the travel element, and a hint of the decorations to come. The color palette sprang from the engagement photos: Jessie's plaid dress and the blue and red balloons in particular. Jessie handled the illustration, Tyler focused on the typography, and Studio on Fire letterpress printed the light-blue and bright-red design. Paired with a map and one of six Polaroid-style photographs from the engagement photo session, the folded invitation was mailed out in a square kraft-paper envelope.
Jessie and Tyler also designed the map included in their invitation. It was screenprinted by Open Mesh onto golden-yellow card stock.
Jessie gave her bridesmaids a bottle of the Three Thieves' "The Show" Cabernet Sauvignon wine -- which boasts a label designed by Hatch Show Print. The girls also received a custom piece of jewelry from Sugar Blossom Design and a mix CD from Jessie.
Formerly a family farm, The Hitch'n Post Ranch in Manitoba, Canada, serves as a country-style banquet hall. Its rustic sensibility and antique furnishings were just what Jessie and Tyler were looking for in a wedding venue.
Ring bearer Otis carries a pillow sewn by the bride.
Jessie and Tyler exchanged bands from Appelt's Diamonds.
Jessie wears a Mori Lee gown from 7th Avenue Fashions, shoes and a headpiece from Aldo, and jewelry by Kelli Miller of Sugar Blossom Design. Tyler wears a three-piece suit from Le Chateau.
Jake and Jess Kamp of Kamp Photography, who captured the entire day in all its glory, had spotted a collection of old campers a few weeks prior to the wedding. The owner was amused by the request to use them as a backdrop for a wedding-day portrait session and obliged the happy couple and their photographers.
The front table of the reception room is decorated with a globe, a vintage suitcase, and photos from family members' wedding days. The vignette serves as an extension of the wedding's travel theme, and also a landing place for guests' well wishes (written on old European postcards placed at each table setting along with a pen).
Bleached bedsheets were transformed into napkins by Jessie's mother and grandmother and Tyler's mother. They were printed with the wedding date and "Away We Go!" centered in a blue and red design. The couple also screen-printed their signatures in the bottom right corner, above "xoxoxo."
Jessie and Tyler picked raspberries the summer before the wedding, and Jessie and her mother Laura Lyne made jam. The jars were covered with smaller pieces of the same fabric found on the reception's tabletops and were finished with twine. The custom stickers and handwritten labels double as place cards.
Ashley Illchuk, a friend and fellow graphic designer, used colored chalk to write out the dinner menu. Guests enjoyed a buffet of barbecued roast beef with horseradish; baked beans; baked potatoes with sour cream; coleslaw; tomatoes; dill pickles; and dinner rolls, all prepared by The Hitch'n Post Ranch.
Donna Hainstock of Pure Paper Extract, a friend and coworker, put together a dessert buffet of cakes, tarts, cookies (baked by Jessie's mom), and fruit. Aqua ribbon and labels hung from each cake dome. Jessie and Tyler cut into a root beer cake for the ceremonial cake-cutting.
A photobooth set up by Kamp Photography was open during the reception. Guests posed with props, such as an empty photo-frame border, hats, oversized glasses, and a chalkboard.
Jessie and Tyler danced to Otis Redding's "That's How Strong My Love Is." Deejay Kurt Munt of Presence Sound & Light played music throughout the evening as guests hit the dance floor.
For their thank-you notes Jessie and Tyler used stationery that matched the invitation. The letterpressed note card featured elements of the wedding day -- the Mason jars, custom wine, and jam favors. A black-and-white photo of the couple at the wedding was also included in the kraft-paper envelope, with the couple's address rubber-stamped on the back and a label with a flag garland for the outgoing address on the front.

text: The St. John's Baseball team honored one of its most legendary figures this past season, officially unveiling the Howie Gershberg Bullpen in right field at Jack Kaiser Stadium. Alumni, friends and the Gershberg family were on hand for the ceremony, reminiscing about the late pitching coach and celebrating his storied career. At a breakfast reception prior to the unveiling, Director of Athletics Chris Monasch '81SVC, Head Baseball Coach Ed Blankmeyer, former St. John's baseball player Greg LaCasse '80SVC and Athletic Director Emeritus Coach John W. "Jack" Kaiser '49C shared their thoughts and stories about Gershberg. In particular, they praised his character and his remarkable ability to develop young pitchers. "Howie was a wonderful coach, teacher, colleague and friend," said Kaiser. "He's one of the top men I've ever met in my life. He knew how to reach his players, and they listened and carried out his instructions." Gershberg's grandson, Stefan, threw out the ceremonial first pitch during the St. John's Baseball game that followed. It proved to be an exciting affair, as the Johnnies beat the University of South Florida in walk-off fashion. The pitching coach from 1974-86, Gershberg helped lead St. John's to 10 NCAA Tournament berths, including a pair of College World Series appearances. During his tenure, the pitching staff ranked in the top three nationally in ERA on three occasions and two pitchers led the nation in ERA. Gershberg saw 11 of his pitchers sign professional contracts and three reach the major leagues, including Frank Viola, the MVP of the 1987 World Series and winner of the 1988 American League Cy Young Award, and John Franco, who ranks fourth all-time in MLB history with 424 saves. Since 1988, the Baseball program has annually presented the Howie Gershberg Award to its Most Outstanding Pitcher.

Recipe by aradi
"A basic banana muffin with crunchy topping. Fat free! I prefer organic applesauce."
Watch video tips and tricks
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
3 very ripe bananas, mashed
3/4 cup packed brown sugar
1 tablespoon agave syrup
1 egg, beaten
1/3 cup unsweetened applesauce
1/3 cup packed brown sugar
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 1/2 teaspoons unsweetened applesauce
they turned out great. You can't tell that they are healthy for you at all. My picky 5 year old loved them. I added cinnamon and allspice and nutmeg to the muffin mix, and oats to the crumb topping. light and fluffy. will make them again. I added my photo!!
These came out really nicely...I had to use more applesauce and less bananas because I ran out. They are really sweet and dont even taste "healthy"! Even though I used whole whaeat flour.
10 Ratings
I used two bananas, omitted the agave syrup and added a handful of chocolate chips. I added too much applesauce to the crumble topping so it was more like a paste on top of the muffins. They turned out moist and delicious. Next time I will make the crumble topping properly.
I made this today. Delicious! I used 1 cup all purpose flour and 1/2 cup whole wheat and instead of the egg, I used egg replacer to make this vegan. My Husband said it was "freakin good." I will definitely make this again! Great, healthy, tasty recipe.
Such an awesome recipe! I had quite a few bananas to get rid of, so I just doubled the recipe. I threw some leftover shredded coconut into the batter, and added oats to give the crumble more substance. These came out so moist and delicious, it was hard to eat just one!
Good basic recipe. I thought the 1 tablespoon of agave made the batter a little too sweet, so I added 1/4 cup of chopped unsweetened cherries. I substituted 1/4 cup of egg beater for 1 egg. I switched out some white flour for whole wheat, but next time will try oat flour. I did not use the crumb mixture so instead I added 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon to the dry ingredients. And, just for the fun of it, I added hemp hearts. My husband really enjoyed the muffins.
Delicious!! I used cinnamon applesauce and a handful of oatmeal. Came out very good. Happy I was able to use up my bananas in a healthy recipe.
When I made this, the crumb topping became a filling when cooked. I am going to do it again and wait till the muffins are almost done and then add the crumb topping. Either way, my husband loves the recipe.
