TV picks: what to watch in the week ahead
Posted: January 27, 2014|
As Britain prepares to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the start of the First World War, some politicians and historians have expressed concern that too many of us seem to have based our understanding of the conflict on repeats of Blackadder Goes Forth.
However, the BBC are about to provide us with some different perspectives on 'The Great War,' as they begin an ambitious season of programmes marking the centenary.
Adrian Van Klaveren, the man with the daunting job of overseeing the coverage, explains: "The BBC's World War One Centenary season is unlike any other season the BBC has undertaken, not least because of its scale.
With programming and events spanning the four years from 2014-2018, echoing the time-frame of World War One, it is the biggest and most ambitious pan-BBC project ever commissioned with more than 2,500 hours of programming already planned across television, radio and online and across our international, national and local services."
In the slightly unlike case that anyone is wondering if that might be a little bit excessive, the BBC's Director-General Tony Hall has offered a reminder of why the season is so important. "There's a single idea behind everything ...and it is this: no other event in our history has had such a dramatic impact on who we are."
That's certainly the starting point for the four-part series Britain's Great War, which is presented by Jeremy Paxman and produced in partnership with the Open University.
The programme reminds us that this was Britain's first 'total war' - for the first time, men were conscripted to fight, civilians were being bombed, and virtually every family in the country lived in fear of a knock at the door telling them that a loved one had been killed.
It also required the nation to turn itself into a war machine, capable of sustaining the conflict, and in the process, it transformed the lives of many women, who suddenly found themselves taking on jobs traditionally occupied by men.
That wasn't the only social change, as people began to question some of the assumptions that British society was based on.
But Paxman points out that it's important not to see the conflict entirely through modern eyes.
"The trouble with so much of our understanding of World War One is that it is seen through the prism of the prejudices of the hundred years which have followed it. It's an amazing and important story which deserves to be viewed afresh."
With that in mind, the first episode looks at the initial optimism of 1914, as young men volunteered to fight.
But while support for the war was to remain strong, even through the darkest days, fear soon took grip at home, as the public began to live in fear of invasion, seeing spies everywhere.
And just to make sure we do see the period from the perspective of those who lived through it, Paxman gets a first-hand account the shelling of Hartlepool from a 105-year-old eyewitness.

You can run but you can't hide from Paul O'Grady.
He's everywhere at the moment, and luckily for us animal-loving softies, he's usually accompanied by a furry friend or three.
This latest series has taken the presenter's own passion for animals and blown it up on a much bigger scale, sending him to South Africa and Zambia to meet animals that have been orphaned in the wild.
But like all good things, it must come to an end, and in tonight's final episode, Paul is at Chipembele Animal Rescue, where he meets Douglas, a hippo calf who was found at five months old wandering alone near the Zambezi River. Douglas soon takes a shine to Paul, and the two even go for a paddle in a nearby pond.
He also meets a baby giraffe called Melmin at Moholoholo, an animal rehabilitation centre. She was abandoned by her parents and brought into the centre when she was just four hours old.
However, Paul finds that bottle-feeding milk to a giraffe isn't the easiest of tasks. But the effort has been worth it and Paul watches as Melmin is released out of the centre and in to the reserve.
Paul says: "She's glorious, she's stupid but she's glorious. I've only known her for five minutes but I'll be sad to see her go."
Plus, Wendy the warthog is released into the wild after a long rehabilitation programme, and Paul spends time with his favourite baby elephant, Nakala, as well as learning about vultures, which are endangered species in Africa.
Paul, more often than not, may be smiling and cooing over the animals during filming, but he's adamant something needs to be done about the reasons behind them being orphaned in the first place.
He explains: "In 10 years time there are going to be no elephants or rhinos in Africa, that's what they're saying now. Everyone said that to me, everybody I met said in 10 years time they will be extinct because even on the big parks the poachers are getting in. And all this is to make bangles and those carvings from the tusks. It's wanton destruction."
But the time he spent there certainly made a difference. In fact, after he fell in love with Nakala the elephant, it looked likely we wouldn't see Paul back in Blighty.
He explains: "Seriously it was up for debate whether I was coming back honestly, because I did contemplate it. I thought I'll stay till Christmas with him and see how he's doing. Because you have to look after them 24/7.
You have to sleep with them and everything and you get so involved and when you see them cry and things like that... I used to have to wash his bum and everything and he was like a kid he hated it and I'd be there saying 'it happens to us all, it comes to us all, come here'."
And so if he ever fancies a change in career?
"It's a nice job," Paul admits. "I mean they work really hard and it's very upsetting what they have to deal with but it's so worthwhile as well you get a real kick out of it, you really do."

Don't kids grow up fast these days?
It only seems like five minutes since Outnumbered first introduced us to pint-sized surrealists Jake, Ben and Karen (aka child actors Tyger Drew-Honey, Daniel Roche and Ramona Marquez) who impressed viewers - and the British Comedy Awards judging panel - with their hilariously natural semi-improvised dialogue.
So as the sitcom returns for a fifth series, try to bear in mind that it actually started in 2007 - it might lessen the shock of discovering that Jake is now old enough to drive, Ben is taller than his dad, and even little Karen is starting senior school.
Of course, now the kids are older they are less likely to go off on strange tangents about nits or their nightmares, let alone act out versions of Britain's Got Talent with their soft toys.
Add in the fact that the creators, Andy Hamilton and Guy Jenkin, have confirmed that this will be the last-ever series may leave some viewers wondering whether the show has hit that awkward age and is in danger of becoming just another family sitcom.
However, Hugh Dennis, who plays long-suffering dad Pete, reassures viewers that Outnumbered will still have that natural, improvised feel that made it such a hit.
"Filming the series is always a very, very happy experience and for someone like me who, as a stand-up comedian is used to improvising, it is perfect.
"Andy and Guy are incredibly clever, which makes you feel very confident. We are sitting there with the cameras ready to roll, and Andy and Guy are over in the corner whispering to the children and you wonder what on earth they are up to - which means your reaction is completely spontaneous."
And of course, having a houseful of teenagers brings its own challenges, which Pete and Sue (Claire Skinner) don't always rise to.
Hugh says: "The mum and dad do the classic thing that parents do - they try to present a united front, but in the heat of the moment, they find themselves going off on their own and then requiring the other one to support them, however ludicrous it might be.
"But what makes it really interesting is that there isn't any obvious strain in their relationship. They're clearly very happy as a couple. They might both be making terrible errors, but as neither of them are very judgmental, they're not blaming each other.
"They're in it together, but they're both a bit rubbish - as are most parents in real life, which makes Outnumbered very realistic."
Pete and Sue certainly find their parenting skills being put to the test in this opening episode, as the newly brunette Karen is having trouble adjusting to her new school - and her mum's attempts to help just look set to make things worse.
The good news though is that Ben doesn't seem to have outgrown his blithe self-confidence, as he refuses to let the fact that he can't sing discourage him from auditioning for the lead role in a musical version of Spartacus.
Thursday 30/01/14
In 1887, a 27-year-old Lincolnshire Methodist Minister travelled to Chennai (now Madras, in India), explains Dan Snow.
This is not the sort of intro you'd expect from Dan Snow's History of the Winter Olympics (BBC2, 9pm). Crisp snow slopes and the Ski Sunday theme perhaps, but stick with it, because this one-off documentary is a compelling mix of travelogue and history lesson.
Here Snow travels across nine countries to learn more about how the Winter Games took shape.
He finds that although the Olympic ideal may involve countries coming together in a spirit of friendship, the event has frequently been affected by politics, whether it was due to Nazism or the tense rivalries of the Cold War.
Tension between East and West led to the so-called 'Miracle on Ice' of 1980, when the US men's ice hockey team beat the seemingly undefeatable Soviets, and arguably culminated in the emotional Olympics of Sarajevo in 1984.
That was the year Jayne Torvill and Christopher Dean skated to victory on the strains of Bolero, and captured the imaginations of 24 million UK viewers watching at home, as well as many around the world.
However, as Snow discovers, just eight years later most of the Olympic sites had been destroyed by civil war.
Jayne's comment about returning to the Sarajevo since the war is arguably the most chilling.
"We actually saw the opening ceremony stadium, huge outdoor stadium, that had now been turned into a graveyard."
The figure skaters weren't the only Brits to shape Winter Olympic history, as Dan explains the pivotal role Arnold Lunn played in Alpine skiing.
From Chamonix to (his old stamping ground) Oxford and beyond, Snow's film features a collection of archive footage.
The seed of the Winter Olympics was sown with the Nordic Games, held in Sweden in 1901.
By 1924, Chamonix was the host to the first Winter Olympics, and four years later it was St Moritz's turn, though a blizzard plagued the opening ceremony.
In the years that followed, Lake Placid (USA) hosted the Games twice; Adolf Hitler opened the 1936 Winter Olympics in Germany, while other venues have included Oslo and Lillehammer in Norway; Sapporo and Hanagno in Japan, and Canada, who hosted the prestigious event in Calgary and Vancouver.
At one point, British heroes at the Winter Olympics were a rare breed. But then came John Curry who, although suffering from verrucas at the time, won gold in the 1976 figure skating competition.
Four years later came another success with Bristol's Robin Cousins, who emulated Curry's success, and, as the 1984 Games approached, a young duo from Nottingham took the limelight and eventually won gold in the ice dance championships.
Ten years after this win, Torvill and Dean returned to the Olympics and were awarded Bronze in the ice dance competition held in Lillehammer.
It's anyone's guess whether Blighty's latest hopefuls will do as well as Curry, Cousins, Torvill and Dean before them, but at least Snow's show should put the new athletes' struggle into context.
Friday 31/01/14
January is said to be the most miserable month of the year.
There are few things that will raise our spirits (a get-out-of-the-gym-free card, a lottery win), so we'll accept any attempt at adding a touch of the light-hearted to these dark and gloomy evenings.
It is with open arms then that we welcome back this 'alternative' review of the week's events courtesy of comic Adam Hills in the award-winning gang show.
If you've not managed to catch this hilarious offering before, the series kicks of with Adam joined as always by his eagle-eyed sidekicks Josh Widdicombe and Alex Brooker, as well as a whole host of sporting and celebrity guests to delve through the talking points of the week, and even tackle some of the awkward subjects many people are too afraid to ask.
Now in its third series, The Last Leg was originally aired to run alongside the 2012 Paralympics every night following the main coverage on Channel 4. It provided a unique and refreshing look at disabilities, a topic which, even now, people shy away from discussing.
However, Adam, Josh and Alex clearly did something right, as the programme was brought back for an end-of-year special, and then another full series.
While Adam has been applauded for his comedy since arriving in Britain after leaving his native Australia, for Alex, The Last Leg has marked a bit of a life change, as he wasn't supposed to be a permanent fixture.
Alex says of the Paralympics: "I was a journalist, so originally I was meant to be a trackside reporter, and I went into the Paralympics as that. The very first interviews I did were the VIP ones at the opening ceremony - David Cameron and Boris Johnson.
I always knew I was going to be on the first bit of The Last Leg, because I'd filmed a pilot with Adam.
"So I only thought I'd ever be on the sofa for the first ten minutes of the first show. And the next day, I went to Arsenal to interview a load of their players about sitting volleyball, and I came back into the office and they just went "We're going to keep you on the sofa now, so you can't be out and about. You're going to be on the sofa every day."
And it didn't come as a shock to him that The Last Leg has become so well-loved.
"I wasn't surprised, because we knew that it was really good," Alex explains. "Me, Josh and Adam did a sketch for Stand Up to Cancer, and we were doing stuff that wasn't to do with the Paralympics, and we just clicked. It was instant. And I think we just realised that we could carry the same sort of humour to any subject."
This time around, amongst other things, the trio will be chatting about the Sochi 2014 Winter Olympic and Paralympic Games, encouraging the audience and viewers at home to ask questions about anything from the week without fear of judgement, and answering those difficult and delicate questions with their own unique hindsight.
It's going to be very interesting indeed...

How to Make a Monkey Fist
The monkey fist knot is one of the most popular knots in the world, used both for its decorative look and its usefulness in creating a weighted end for throwing rope. Read the steps below to learn how to tie this iconic knot yourself.
1Hold out your hand. The monkey fist begins with your outstretched hand as a frame for the initial wraps. Use your non-dominant hand as the frame, and tie with your dominant hand. Hold your framing hand out so that the fingers are straight and slightly apart, and take a length of rope in your tying hand.Ad
2Make three wraps. Wrap the rope around your fingers from pinky to pointer three times, laying each wrap next to the others, rather than on top of them. This is the basic form for the rest of the monkey fist, so you can remove your framing hand from the rope now. Be sure to hold the rope loops carefully in place as you continue to work.
3Repeat crosswise. Pass one end of your rope through the three loops you made, and then wrap around those loops with three more loops, making them roughly perpendicular to the original set. Keep all the loops open and a bit loose, so that there's a little bit of space in the middle.
4Add a third layer. Pass one end of your rope through the new set of loops you just made, and wrap around them (but not the first set of loops) three more times, once again in a perpendicular direction. This means these three loops will run in the same direction as the first three loops, but wrap so that they fill in the open sides of those loops, creating a three-dimensional shape.
5Fill the center. For stability and added weight, a monkey fist knot requires a small, hard object in the center of all the loops. The simplest way to do this is to tie the knot so that there isn't much rope left at one end, and then tie the end of that rope into a pretzel knot and stuff the end into the monkey fist. If you prefer a separate object, you can use a glass marble or other similarly sized round object.
- The center won't hold the item very well right now, since it isn't tightened yet. Hold your object in place and follow the next step to wrap the knot around it.
6Tighten the knot. Now that your knot has a core to tighten around, pull all the loops tight by pulling each end of the rope in turn and tucking or guiding any errant loops. At the end you should have a roughly spherical knot with a volleyball-like pattern of ropes all over it.
- If you used the tip of your rope as a core for your knot, just leave a bit of rope before the tip loose as you tighten the rest of the knot, and pull on it to tighten from that end. Tuck the extra bit of length in with the pretzel knot when everything else is done.
Give us 3 minutes of knowledge!
- Monkey fist knots can be used as decorative items such as doorstops and mantel curios, or they can be put to practical use for times when you need to throw one end of a rope some distance without letting go of the other end. For decorative knots, a rope core is fine; when throwing a rope, use a heavier weight like a rock if you can, for added stability.
- Monkey fist knots were also commonly used as makeshift weapons, called slungshots, in 19th century Europe and the United States. Slungshots are illegal in some places to this day; even having one on your person in Michigan, California, or Oklahoma constitutes a felony. Check local laws and regulations first if you plan to use your knot as a defensive weapon.

A TOS reboot (real reboot, no alternate universe nonsense) was proposed by Straczynski and Zabel some 9 years ago. But Paramount decided not to go that route and chose the current movie thing instead.
Which apparently worked. It had the benefit of being both a continuation and relaunch of the original continuity, with the end result being a new TOS with a clean slate ahead of it anyway.
I think with Star Trek XII, arguments about the previous film being better as a real reboot really becomes a moot point, IMO.

Brad Goreski might have a very distinctive style of his own, but he admires Emma Stone's more understated sartorial choices. The stylist to the stars, ex-Rachel Zoe assistant, and soon-to-be reality TV star and author says that when it comes to style cred, she outshines her young Hollywood peers.
"I think Emma Stone wears really high fashion looks with ease," Goreski told People at the InStyle Summer Soiree at the London Hotel in West Hollywood. "I think her hair and makeup are really flawless. I just think she's really cool."
Though Goreski dresses A-listers like Jessica Alba and Demi Moore, Stone isn't among his clients. All the same, he adds, "[Emma] has a fantastic stylist who I admire very much."

We've made it to the last month of 2009 – can you believe it? You'll be happy to know that my Thanksgiving road trip went smoothly and I was home with plenty of time to spare for Thanksgiving breakfast. And now on to holiday shopping and preparing for the holiday season! My mission this month is to get the perfect gifts for my friends and family without breaking the bank…I'll keep you updated on my progress.
Here are a few interesting articles to start out December.
This first one from USA Today was interesting to me, because I've had the exact problem the author is giving tips to solve – extra money in your health care FSA as the end of the year looms. Have you had the same problem? Scrambling to spend those tax-free dollars you've been socking away? The article suggests making sure your prescriptions are filled, stocking up on contact lens solution and even sunscreen! Check it out – and be sure to check your eligible expenses to see what you can stockpile.
Here is one from U.S. News and World Report that discusses the ways your spending will or has changed in retirement. Many Americans, the article says, think they will spend less in retirement, and therefore can live on less of an income. The article cites nine ways spending changes, and in some cases (healthcare and gifts for the grandchildren!), increases.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) -- Vince Young and LenDale White both have healthy legs, and rookie Chris Johnson gave a glimpse of why Tennessee drafted him in the first round. The Titans' passing game remains a work in progress.
Keith Bulluck intercepted a tipped pass and returned it 13 yards for a touchdown, and Johnson zipped up the middle 66 yards for a TD as the Titans beat the St. Louis Rams 34-13 on Saturday night in the preseason opener for both teams.
"He can really run," Titans coach Jeff Fisher said of Johnson, the 24th overall pick out of East Carolina, a draft selection heavily criticized at the time.
"They'll probably see the highlights, and I think they'll understand he's a great kid. And he's had a great camp so far. He can make plays. He's got speed. He's a great football player."
With St. Louis running back Steven Jackson holding out, the Rams had little offense. Tennessee picked off Marc Bulger once, sacked his backups three times and held the Rams to 76 yards rushing
Tennessee moved the ball at ease, running for 340 of its 495 yards of offense. Johnson had 100 yards combined himself.
John Vaughn filled in for All Pro kicker Rob Bironas, out with a pulled groin muscle, by making field goals of 48 and 43 yards. Quinton Ganther, a seventh-round pick in 2006 who has played four games with the Titans, scored twice on runs of 45 and 2 yards.
Young, who played with a sore quadriceps muscle most of 2007, broke loose for a 35-yard run that was his longest since his rookie season. White had torn cartilage surgically repaired in his left knee after rushing for 1,110 yards last year. He ran six times for 33 yards but was stopped on fourth-and-1 on the opening drive.
Fisher hired coordinator Mike Heimerdinger in January to juice up an offense that threw for only nine TDs in 2007.
Young looked sharp on the opening drive, moving around and throwing on the run. But he overthrew his new tight end, four-time Pro Bowler Alge Crumpler, on a fade in the left corner of the end zone on third-and-2 from the St. Louis 5. He also was sacked two plays after his 35-yard run in which he dodged three defenders. He finished 3-of-6 for 17 yards.
"Alge is such a great target," Young said. "He knows how to get in and out of his routes, and obviously he knows how to catch the ball. Chris Johnson has another level of speed, and he's going to help us."
Tennessee backup Kerry Collins wasn't helped by receivers dropping balls or once failing to get a second foot in bounds.
"We have to make those catches," Fisher said.
Tennessee's defense was ranked fifth in the NFL last season and was a big reason the Titans reached the playoffs. Fans gave a resounding welcome to defensive end Jevon Kearse, the last player introduced. He signed a two-year contract last March to return to the team where he went to three Pro Bowls and was the NFL Defensive Rookie of the Year during their Super Bowl season of 1999.
Kearse knocked down Bulger's first pass, then rookie tackle Jason Jones tackled Brian Leonard for a 3-yard loss. The Rams took a delay of game penalty, then Bulger's pass went off Leonard to Bulluck, who ran in 13 yards for the touchdown and a 7-0 lead midway through the first quarter.
Bulger finally got his first completion to a teammate on his fourth pass, a 16-yarder to Drew Bennett, and the Rams' first-team offense finally got on the board with a 44-yard field goal by Josh Brown late in the first. Bulger was 3-of-9 for 29 yards, and Trent Green wasn't much better, completing 1-of-3 for 16 yards.

Indianapolis is a middle American city. Until I lived there, I never took it seriously. The bad news was that I was very prejudiced against it. The good news was that, being an Easterner, I knew that I was prejudiced against everything between Pennsylvania and the Pacific Coast states, with possible - but not definite, exception made for the city of Boulder, Colorado where some enlightened souls [yes, that means Hippies] had taken up residence during a spreading of the population of the…Continue

All writers have different ways of working and finding the 'perfect system' for planning, researching, plotting, structuring and writing a novel is often a matter of trial and error until something clicks. That's how it was for me anyway.
Before I struck on my 'perfect system' I tried all sorts of ways of compiling my research, plotlines, and character outlines, from using note books to wall maps, from card indexes to ring binders. None of them worked. The ring binders looked…Continue

My fictional detective, DI Andy Horton, is based in Portsmouth and the Solent area on the South Coast of England. The Solent is the busiest waterway in Europe and one of the busiest in the world with around one million commercial and naval shipping movements and in excess of 10 million pleasure craft movements per year, so it's a brilliant area in which to set a series of crime novels, with plenty of inspiration and lots of activity.

At first, it looked like Quazi Nafis, the man accused of plotting to blow up the Federal Reserve in New York, had only the help of the FBI in allegedly delivering a van full of what he thought were explosives to the door of the downtown building. But on Thursday authorities said he had an accomplice, who also just happens to be an alleged child pornography fan. There are some legitimate questions to ask about the ethics of helping someone hatch a terrorist plot just to bust him for it, as apparently happened with Nafis.Read more »

|The Game Story:
|FROSTBURG, Md. – The second-ranked Salisbury University men's lacrosse team notched a 13-6 Capital Athletic Conference victory over host Frostburg State University on Saturday.
This marked just the third overall meeting between the two programs, and the first since the 1978 season.
The Sea Gulls (13-0, 6-0 CAC) tallied the game's first goal at the 11:28 mark, as sophomore midfielder Ryan Clarke scored off an assist from junior attackman Matt Cannone. Senior midfielder Spencer Smith added a goal a minute later, and then Cannone fired home a goal off an assist from Clarke for the 3-0 lead just 36 seconds later. Salisbury senior midfielder Shawn Zordani closed out the quarter with an unassisted goal with four seconds remaining.
The Bobcats (4-10, 0-6 CAC) recorded their first goal of the contest nearly halfway through the second quarter, as Dan Dowd scored off an assist from Ryan Serio. FSU cut the lead to 4-2 following an unassisted goal by Lucas Flaig. Zordani added his second goal of the day with 5:17 remaining, extending Salisbury's lead to 5-2, a lead that the team would take into halftime.
The third quarter featured six goals in the frame, with each team finding the back of the net three times. For Salisbury, senior midfielder Perry Craz and junior attackmen Erik Krum and Tony Mendes all tallied goals.
Salisbury's offense came alive in the fourth quarter, as the Sea Gulls outscored the Bobcats 5-1. Cannone spearheaded the offense in the quarter with three goals.
Cannone (four goals, one assist) and Zordani (three goals, two assists) led the way with a game-high five points apiece. Clarke, Craz, Krum and Mendes each finished with one goal and one assist.
SU senior goalkeeper Johnny Rodriguez finished with six saves to earn his 13th victory of the season.
Dowd (two goals, one assist) and Serio (one goal, two assists) each recorded a team-high three points for the Bobcats. Goalkeeper Tyler Haines recorded 19 saves in the contest for Frostburg.
The Sea Gulls are set to return to Sea Gull Stadium this Tuesday, for a CAC contest with Marymount (Va.) University. The game is scheduled to begin at 7 p.m.

The NIH Director
2004 Nobel Prize
Today's announcement of the 2004 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for discoveries concerning "odorant receptors and the organization of the olfactory system" honors two experts in the study of the sense of smell: Drs. Richard Axel and Linda B. Buck. "Their work is a classic example of how basic science can lead to major new findings that alter our understanding of fundamental mechanisms and begin a cascade of discovery that will eventually benefit many individuals," Dr. Zerhouni said.
In 1991, Drs. Buck and Axel reported (in the journal Cell / Volume 65 (1) pages 175-187) the discovery of a large family of receptors selectively expressed in olfactory neurons, which are the cells that detect specific odors. These receptors were later shown to be the cell surface molecules that bind specific odorants, which is the first step in detection and identification.
James F. Battey, M.D., Director of NIH's National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders, said, "This discovery fueled a revolution in understanding the molecular and cellular interactions responsible for the remarkably sensitive and specific detection of different odors and tastes," Since 1992, NIDCD has funded Dr. Buck for her work on olfaction.
Besides NIDCD, other NIH components involved in their work include the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases-where Dr. Axel served as an intramural scientist in the laboratory headed by Dr. Gary Felsenfeld-and the National Cancer Institute, National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, National Institute of Mental Health, and the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke.
The prize-winning research that led to advances which are helping humans involved the careful study of small animals, especially mice and rats.
Dr. Axel is continuing his work at The Howard Hughes Medical Institute at Columbia University in New York, N.Y., while Dr. Buck is now working at the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center in Seattle, Wash.
Of the 83 American Nobel laureates in physiology or medicine since 1945, 64 either worked at or were funded by NIH before winning his or her prize. Since 1939, there have been a total of 113 NIH-supported Nobel laureates.

Friday, November 23, 2012

This season could mark the end of Black Friday as we know it.
For decades, stores have opened their doors in the wee hours on the day after Thanksgiving. But this year, major chains such as Target and Sears ushered customers in on Thanksgiving itself, even before the turkey leftovers had gotten cold, turning the traditional busiest shopping day of the year into a two-day affair.
Despite an outcry from some employees, both stores and shoppers seemed to like it. Some people went shopping with a full belly, going straight from the dinner table to the stores. Others slept off their big meal and went to the mall before daybreak on Black Friday.
"I ate my turkey dinner and came right here," said Rasheed Ali, a college student in New York City who bought a 50-inch TV for $349 and a sewing machine for $50 when Target opened at 9 p.m. on Thanksgiving. "Then I'm going home and eating more."
This new approach could become a holiday shopping season tradition.
"It's Black Thursday and Friday combined," said Jackie Fernandez, a retail expert at the consulting firm Deloitte. "This is going to be a new normal of how we shop."
It won't be clear for a few days how many shoppers took advantage of the Thanksgiving hours. But about 17 percent of people said earlier this month that they planned to shop at stores that opened on Thanksgiving, according to an International Council of Shopping Centers-Goldman Sachs survey of 1,000 consumers.
Meanwhile, 33 percent intended to shop on Black Friday, down 1 percentage point from last year. Overall, it is estimated that sales on Black Friday will be up 3.8 percent to $11.4 billion this year, according to technology company ShopperTrak, which did not forecast sales from Thanksgiving Day.
The Black Friday creep began in earnest a few years ago when stores realized that sales alone weren't enough to lure shoppers anymore, especially with Americans becoming more comfortable buying things online. Opening on Thanksgiving was risky, with some employees and shoppers complaining it was almost sacrilegious.
But many stores evidently felt they needed an edge, especially this season, when many Americans are worried about high unemployment and wondering whether Congress will be able to head off tax increases and spending cuts before the U.S. reaches the "fiscal cliff" in January.
Overall, the National Retail Federation estimates that sales in November and December will rise 4.1 percent this year to $586.1 billion, below last year's 5.6 percent.
"Every retailer wants to beat everyone else," said C. Britt Beemer, chairman of America's Research Group, a firm based in Charleston, S.C. "Shoppers love it."

thank goodness. It is about time we keep the stores closed so the employees can have some time with their families instead of cash registers. By the way, I heard that many stores closed a little early for lack of customers. Good for them.
Chick-fil-la had it right the first time. Closed on Sundays and holidays.

Top Ten Songs of 2009
This is always a fun exercise because, especially with metal, it's exceptionally hard to break music down to the song level. Some people think that music is meant to be experienced as a part of a live set or as a part of an album and that is that, but I think it's acceptable to single out certain songs as exemplary of where a band is when they recorded it, so without further ado, here are my ten favorite songs of 2009 in no order of any kind.
Between the Buried and Me - "Obfuscation": I'm not sure if BTBAM would even appreciate someone calling this the best song they made this year. Of the six tracks on their new masterpiece, The Great Misdirect, "Obfuscation" throws by far the fewest curveballs and is perhaps the only song on that record that wouldn't be out of place on 2003's The Silent Circus or 2005's Alaska. It's just a perfect track of progressive metal brilliance and instrumental virtuosity, all held together by a shouted chorus (the only non-screamed lyrics in the song, too) of "Close one eye/Step to the side," and despite being an insane roller coaster ride, it's almost a chance to relax compared to the songs that follow it. Simply BTBAM playing at their highest level; nothing more, nothing less.
Propagandhi - "Dear Coach's Corner": Start a song with a sample from Canada's SportsCenter equivalent, Hockey Night in Canada, follow it up with a minute or so of insane Slayer riffage, then turn all the knobs to "clean" and start singing in a desperate pop-punk moan about the great sport of hockey and its corruption into something inherently propagandist. It doesn't sound like a winning formula, but the guys in Propagandhi pull it off flawlessly in what ends up being a totally heart-wrenching and brilliant song. Without the proper context, the lyrics might seem like a stretch, but I suspect that unless you're Canadian you won't quite understand lines like "Every fond memory of childhood that I know is somehow connected to the culture of this game/I just can't let it go." What a non-Canadian can understand, however, is that every ounce of conviction put into this song is genuine, and its fusion of punk and metal is the sound of a great band performing at their pinnacle.
Mastodon - "The Last Baron": Dammit, this is easily the worst Mastodon full-length and it still totally rules. They're threatening to turn into Iron Maiden with this crazy run they're on. "The Last Baron" is a perfect example of why that is: it's way too ambitious, it has an acoustic intro and is thirteen minutes long, it has a part that sounds like it could be in a Dream Theater song, it utilizes clean singing exclusively (not unlike much of the album, but still), and it's about God-knows-what. Why is it so awesome? In a nutshell, it's because Mastodon are the most capable band in metal today, and they know it. They tackled something that they never should have tackled and made pure gold, and they were suspicious that it would be pure gold all along. Spoils to the victors, I suppose.
Isis - "Hall of the Dead": If there's a weak link in this list, it's this song, but it gets special consideration because it's oddly-timed opening riff is hands-down the Riff of the Year. Aaron Turner has been doing this for a while, and he has developed an impeccably Adam Jones-like (sorry again, Isis aren't Tool, but they're a damned easy point of reference) sense of how to combine complexity with catchiness, and it pays off in spades here. It's a good sign when a song inspires you to headbang, but the time signature makes it difficult to actually headbang to. The rest of the song is pretty good as well, with Turner performing at the peak of his skills as a clean/growl vocalist, but damn. That opening riff. Damn.
Slough Feg - "Ape Uprising": The 2000s have basically been a duel to the death between The Gates of Slumber and Slough Feg over who can perfect an old-school sound in the most original and most infectious way. 2009 went to Slough Feg, hands down, and this 10-minute chunk of Thin Lizzy worship and twin lead mayhem is a great example of why. Mike Scalzi has a rugged voice that can't really be described accurately in terms of other singers, but it fits Slough Feg's music perfectly. Even though the guitars steal the show as with every Slough Feg song, the tribal drumming that would be annoying coming from so many bands fits the album's theme perfectly, and the bass demands your attention with its very capable playing. This is basically a perfect old school heavy metal song. Your move, Karl Simon.
Cobalt - "Gin": Probably more than any other great album from 2009, it's tough to separate Cobalt's latest opus into distinct songs, but the opening track sets the tone for the rest of the album so well that it's hard not to call it a highlight. It tricks you into relaxation with its clean guitar intro, then tears your balls off and feeds them to you for the better part of seven minutes (hell, for the better part of 70 minutes when it's all said and done). Phil McSorley (we'll get to him later) steals the show as usual with a vicious, whiskey-soaked vocal performance that coats your soul with a thick layer of grime. This is beautiful; this is art.
Wolves in the Throne Room - "Wanderer Above the Sea of Fog": It gets bonus points of the bat for the wonderful title, taken from the name of one of my favorite paintings of all time. In typical WITTR fashion, this song is all about taking its time to get where it's going, and at glacier speed it reaches a glorious climax, with riffs layered upon riffs like classic Darkthrone and ambient, post-rock beauty oozing out of every note like any of Neige's projects. The vocals are the definition of black metal rasp, and it does its job as an opening track on a terrific album by setting the stage for what's to come.
Immortal - "All Shall Fall": Three black metal songs in a row, whew. 2006 Brad sees this list and rolls his eyes, but black metal has adapted far better than death metal in every conceivable way during this decade. Even Immortal, one of the first-wave stalwarts, figured out a way to update their sound and become excellent in a totally new way on 2002's instant classic Sons of Northern Darkness. While the reunion record isn't quite as good, the title track tries some new things out to huge levels of success. The epic arrangement and buzzsaw guitar sound are still there, but Abbath adds to the mix some - wait for it - clean vocals! The whole thing is a reminder to the world of Immortal's continued relevance, their ability to adapt, and their apparent readiness to carry the flag of black metal into the next decade.
Baroness - "A Horse Called Golgotha": This one took some time to grow on me. I knew I liked it right away, but I was pretty uneasy about the weird sound in the guitar solo, the arrangement of the song, and the overwhelming presence of clean vocals in the song. It didn't quite seem like the Baroness I knew and loved. Once I realized that was all stupid, my mind opened to what would probably be the song of the year if this list were ranked (which it isn't). Without aping any formulas or sounding derivative, Baroness created a classic heavy metal song that would probably sound out of place in the 80s, but not by much.
Megadeth - "Head Crusher": The new Megadeth album isn't quite good enough to get mentioned when I get around to talking about the best albums of 2009, but it has to be noted that it is easily their best effort since 1994, and that "Head Crusher" is their best song since 1997. While we're at it, "This Day We Fight!" is also better than anything they've done since 1997, but that's partly because of how generally terrible the last decade has been for Megadeth. None of that affects this startlingly refreshing headbanger, though, and it seems to all but declare that Megadeth is "back" without ever leaving. The riffs are crisp, the solos are crazy, the lyrics are violent, the vocals are old-school, and everything is said and done within three minutes. The new wave of thrash has already started to wear out its welcome, and it's with the help of classic bands making such great thrash tunes as this that their grave is being dug.
Mortals are mortar and life is the fuse.
(PSSSSST - It's even better live...Nat says as he twists the knife )
Seriously, though - lots of excellent picks.

Listen to Cormorant's Metazoa and that list will be dramatically different.
Seriously, though - I do agree to an extent. There's bound to be something off "Metazoa" that could unseat one of the songs on Brad's list. "Scavengers Feast" is awful fucking good, for example.
EDIT: Hey, how many albums is this for Cormorant anyway? I'm having trouble getting background info on them...

Review: Merlin's Ring (Merlin's Godson #2)User Review - SL - Goodreads

Have you even played it? Or for more than five minutes? Sounds to me as though you haven`t. Having completed it myself there`s far more to the game that side scrolling and platforming.
I won`t even bother argue with you about the MGS4 just being ok comment. Having finished it several times to unlock a lot of the equipment and with your lack of actual reasons why it`s just "ok", leading me to think you probably haven`t, or if you have you again mustn`t have gone for five minutes, I don`t really see the point.
Just kidding :)
Anyway littlebigplanet should be number one, two or three. Seriously, number 10? Just because it isn`t horribly violent it doesn`t mean it`s not the best game of the year.
"The list was ALL console games? FAIL. Don`t even talk about graphics if you`re playing on a console."
I hate people like this. Seriously, if you think you`re superior because you spent £1250 on a PC because you thought you`d get better graphics than those "dirty console gamers", take a look at the PS3. It costs less, doesn`t need new hardware every 3 months to keep up with the latest games and it costs under £300. And furthermore, it can handle not only the highest graphics in games today, but the highest in games in the future.
Thus my fanboyish rant is over and I have confirmed my status as a life-long virgin.
Grand Theft Auto IV also wasn`t terrible, but in terms of actually having fun I`ll always choose Saint`s Row 2.
I`m glad Left 4 Dead is there though, and at 1. I love that game. Multiplayer in that is a ton of fun.
Gears of War 2 definitely shouldn`t though. ~_~ It`s the same as the first game. And that wasn`t even good.
there`s nothing "fresh" about either of those games. littlebigplanet, a side scrolling platformer with graphics.... woohoo. and MGS4 was ok at best.

The prescription drug Zohydro will be available in March. The drug has a hydrocodone base and is used to treat chronic pain.

Manjaro Linux LXDE Community Edition15.09
editor's review
1 comment
Manjaro Linux LXDE Community Edition is an open source, community driven edition of the Manjaro Linux operating system, this time using LXDE (Lightweight X11 Desktop Environment) as the default window manager.
A very good candidate for low-end computers
Even if it's a community edition, Manjaro Linux LXDE features the same applications as the main edition, and the fact that it uses LXDE, which is very similar to XFCE, makes it a very good candidate for low-end computers.
A simple, lightweight and basic desktop environment
Because LXDE is a simple, lightweight and basic desktop environment, it does not allow for eye-candiness. The Manjaro Linux LXDE session can be compared with a Windows XP one, except for the fact that it includes only open source software and it's totally free.
A distribution of Linux based on Arch Linux
The development team behind the Manjaro project did a terrific job at promoting the Arch Linux operating system to the masses, especially because of the Live CD environments (test before you install) and the powerful installer, which is very similar to the one used by the Ubuntu operating system.
Includes a great set of open source applications
Default utilities include the 7-Zip archive manager, Catfish file search, Galculator, Gedit text editor, LXTerminal terminal emulator, Evince document viewer, dconf editor, Avahi suite, and the GParted disk partitioning app.
Default applications include the PCManFM file manager, Midori web browser, Sylpheed email client, LibreOffice office suite, AbiWord word processing app, HexChat IRC client, Gnumeric spreadsheet software, SMPlayer video player, and LXMusic audio player.
As you can see, there are very few applications installed in Manjaro Linux LXDE, and only one for each task. The desktop environment features a single panel that comprises the Main Menu, application launcher, desktop switcher, and system tray area.
Bottom line
The applications and functionality implemented in this Manjaro edition are of a high-quality, and in our opinion it could become an official Manjaro edition for low-end computers, next to the Manjaro Linux Xfce one.

WILLARD Mercy Hospital of Willard, in collaboration with Community Hospice Care, will host the Living with Loss Bereavement Program beginning March 5 at Mercy Hospital of Willard. The meetings will be offered at 2:30 p.m. the second and fourth Mondays of the month and the first and third Mondays of the month at 7 in the Wasserman Room at the Mercy Hospital of Willard.
These gatherings are intended for anyone who has lost a loved one, or for anyone suffering from any kind of major loss in their life. The loss may be of a relative, a friend, a home, or even a job. From the moment we are born, we begin a journey down a path of unknown territory. The pathway of life is a series of hellos and good-byes, meetings and partings, beginnings and endings. The process is often painful with the death of a loved one being the ultimate separation.
The separation may be very recent, or it may be some time ago. Call today to learn more about the program and to receive the support you need and deserve. There is no cost for this program and RSVP is appreciated, but not required.
For more information, call Sister Diane Hay or Sister Rita Mary Wasserman at (419) 964-5190. Alice Snook or Esther Miller from Community Hospice Care of Tiffin can be reached at (800) 834-8100.

Safe Summer program returns
The Safe Summer program offers solutions for college students who are leaving for the summer and may have a pet they cannot take with them. In past years, many pets were abandoned in empty apartments, or released to the street. Safe Summer was created by the Shelter Medicine Club of The Ohio State University College of Veterinary Medicine and is run by students and volunteers. The service will be available from May 26 through June 19, 2009 with the goal of finding a safe home for any pets left behind.

Bhavana Dee De Cew
Born 13 September, 1943 in upstate New York, Bhavana (then Dee) left the US in the mid-
1960s for what she called "the university of the road", arriving in Auroville in 1971.
Shifting to Vérité in 1993, she helped develop the Integral Learning Center, cheerfully attended to guests, and held daily meditation and Savitri reading. She also introduced many to Vipassana through organizing retreats.
Over the years, Bhavana represented Auroville in India and abroad, and served in various working groups. Most recently, she was a trustee of Village Action and Animal Care and executive of AIP and Vérité Guest House.
Diagnosed with cancer in January, Bhavana accepted it as Yoga, exploring conventional and alternative treatments while preparing for a conscious transition. Bhavana died on 11 May, 2011 in the community she loved and served joyfully for 40 years, and was buried in Vérité's "wisdom tope" under the words that meant everything to her: Love and Oneness.

Who is to blame for Steubenville?
D.B. McWhite
The Steubenville rape case is finally over, with both teenage boys -- Trent Mays and Ma'lik Richmond -- found guilty and sentenced. And while the seemingly compassionless behavior of the young men toward the intoxicated and unconscious young woman deserved punishment, I have to wonder if the righteous anger one feels regarding the boys, absolves the young woman of her responsibility in this tragedy.
Rape is a terrible crime that physically and psychologically scars the victim, often for a lifetime. So up front I call the act committed against this young victim criminal. To be further victimized by having the violation photographed and passed along to her classmates and peers adds further insult to injury.
As women, there are
dangers we must
guard against.
I feel strongly, however, that along with the message to young men that it is not only wrong but criminal to take sexual advantage of an otherwise intoxicated woman, that a message also should be sent to young women to avoid putting themselves in situations where inebriation leaves them vulnerable to attack.
I don't believe it is blaming the victim to suggest that women must take care of themselves and, when possible, employ common-sense practices to keep themselves out of harm's way. To say anything less depicts women as powerless and completely subject to the whims of others.
While I refuse to say, "Boys will be boys," I do say, "kids will be kids." And when you mix together a bunch of teenagers, alcohol and lack of parental control, you have created the perfect environment for out-of-control behavior where some such tragedy might easily be predicted.
Few parents send their girls off into the dating world without first admonishing them to be on the lookout for guys who might slip a "mickey" into their drinks.
All too often, though, it isn't a spiked drink that leads our children into trouble. When young people are intoxicated to the degree the Steubenville victim was, they are left vulnerable to anything and anyone who would violate them –- sexual assaults, kidnappings, car accidents, alcohol intoxication or even murder. How many times have we seen a college kid found dead from alcohol poisoning following a night of heavy drinking?
As the mother of a daughter whom I cherish, my heart goes out to the young woman whose life is forever changed by the events of that night. It will undoubtedly take years and many hours of counseling before she can rebuild the trust and confidence she had before the assault.
As the mother of two sons, my heart also is with the young men who I believe also were victims. It was gut wrenching seeing the young men sob as their lives fell apart.
I suspect that these unfortunate young men are not much different than most of our own sons -- just gaining a new level of freedom, subject to peer pressure and with burgeoning sexuality. Then after an evening of unrestrained partying, through a fog of alcohol and without adult supervision, they were expected to make decisions that could affect them for the rest of their lives.
I am not among the throng who see the boys in this crime as all guilty and the girl as all innocent. I believe there is responsibility enough to go around -- the adults who didn't supervise, the young men who took advantage and acted without concern for the well-being of their supposed friend, and, I believe, the young woman whose drunken state allowed her to become victimized.
If some good is to come from this tragedy, it must be an admonition to all.
As women, there are dangers we must guard against. So we are told to avoid the dark alley. We are told to lock our windows and to watch our drinks when we're out in clubs. We are expected to do what we can to protect ourselves from those who would do us harm.
When we use alcohol to drink ourselves into oblivion, we place our lives and our well being in the hands of others, sometimes with tragic results.

A collaboration between Split and digital agency Hydrant to create a fully responsive website that works on any screen. On wider screens the website will display in 4 columns and as the screen size gets smaller, the column numbers reduce without needing to reload. There are six different gird layouts for every page to help maximise the user experience and display the content in the most effective way for the user's screen size. The main navigation bar and menu also follow this principle. For large screens, the sidebar navigation has two sizes depending on the width. The navigation then moves to the top of the screen for small screens, tablets and mobiles.Oliver BentleyPosted in Web Design → Design
