Real Life Rock Top Ten
1) Neva Chonin, "Sex Pistols' Lydon tries, but can't revive rage on reunion tour at Warfield" (San Francisco Chronicle, Sept. 5) "What can you say about a 25-year-old legend that died? That it changed your life, changed music history, hated the Beatles?"
2) Paul McCartney in Red Square (a documentary on A&E, Sept. 18) It was last May 24, with an audience of 100,000, the camera picking up one honey shot after another, and often Paul can't hit the notes: "We Can Work It Out" and "The Two of Us" are as painful as "I Saw Her Standing There" is true. Musicians, critics, government officials talk about how the collapse of the Soviet system was unthinkable without the Beatles--without their embodiment of a secret or inaccessible culture people desperately wanted to join. You hear the memory of imprisonment: "We lived on a separate planet and they could never come here," says the leader of the Soviet-era band Aquarium. But if the story makes you think of Lou Reed inducting Dion into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, describing how the Belmonts sent him "the sound of another life," soon enough the film will give you Mikhail Gorbachev, looking diminished and blank, and you can't gainsay his dutiful testimony that the Beatles told "the young people of the Soviet Union there was another life"--what else could they have heard? On stage, "Live and Let Die" is big and gets bigger in front of a video-screen montage of Russian peasants, Leonid Brezhnev and Vladimir Putin, folk musicians in traditional dress, and more honey shots. "I could fulfill one of my wishes only in 1984 when I bought all of the Beatles LP records," says Sergei Ivanov, the Russian minister of defense. A commercial comes on: Davy Jones or a lookalike promoting A&E's "Meet the Royals" (Camilla and Charles appear in two-shot) while he or someone else chirps "Hey, hey, they're the royals!" Back to the stage: "Maybe I'm Amazed," and then "Back in the U.S.S.R." The instant leap in the crowd tells you this is what they came for, what they wouldn't leave without. You see a cool-looking guy in the audience, looking right at the camera, with a deep, knowing smile. The song was supposed to be a joke, as in Who'd want to go back to the U.S.S.R.?, and today the U.S.S.R. doesn't even exist. But the people in Red Square do, and the song does, and now the people present to hear it played change the unspoken negative of the song into an affirmation of their own existence. Yes, it was a script, and everyone was playing a part, but you'd have to be a truly great cynic not to smile over this tale.
3) Rolling Stones, Sympathy for the Devil Remix (Abkco) By Full Phatt: zero. By Fatboy Slim: less than zero, dragging the band behind its own beat, plus stupid sound effects. By the Neptunes: with the ending, they open a door in the song not even the song knew was there. From "Lay your soul to waste" on, they layer Western-movie strings and a thin, chopping guitar sound to create a sense of isolation and abandonment, until the last "Woo-woo"s fade away into a desert of loss and despair.
4) Team Doyobi, "Team Doyobi's Remix," from O
, compiled by Radboud Mens ([email protected]) Out of nine otherwise dullard versions of "O Superman" ("O Hyperman," "O Super Mom," etc.) comes utter displacement from the U.K.--those "ah-ah-ah"s running all through Laurie Anderson's little play about terrorism as an orgasm.
5) Seth Borenstein, "EPA: CO2 No Pollutant-Ruling Made on Clear Act" (Denver Post/Knight-Ridder, Aug. 29) "'Refusing to call greenhouse-gas emissions a pollutant is like refusing to say that smoking causes lung cancer,' responded Melissa Carey, a climate policy specialist for Environmental Defense, a moderate New York-based environmental group. 'The earth is round. Elvis is dead. Climate change is happening.'"
6) Anonymous blurb on Bubba Ho-Tep, New York Times Fall Movie Preview (Sept. 7) "Two residents of an East Texas nursing home--one believes himself to be Elvis Presley (Bruce Campbell), the other John F. Kennedy (Ossie Davis)--team up to defeat a soul-sucking mummy who has risen from the local swamp." Howard Hampton writes: "In other words, the Clinton-with-Two-Heads beats back Bush--draining his swamp."
7) "Classic Blues Artwork from the 1920s" 2004 Calendar (Blues Images) On the cover: the single extant photograph of Mississippi blues progenitor Charley Patton, previously known only from the neck up. Yes, he was straight off the plantation. Though it turns out he was wearing spats.
8) Michael Corcoran, "Exhuming the Legend of Washington Phillips," in Da Capo Best Music Writing 2003, edited by Matt Groening (Da Capo) The story of how a man who left behind some of the most unusual gospel recordings of the 1920s (and, with "I Had a Good Father and Mother," perhaps the most heartbreaking) was not who music historians thought he was, but someone else with the same name. Which is fitting, given that in Best Music Writing Michael Corcoran's piece ended up credited to someone named Michael Cochran.
9 and 10) Soundtracks: Martin Scorsese Presents the Blues: Red, White and Blues--A Film by Mike Figgis and Martin Scorsese Presents the Blues: The Soul of a Man--A Film by Wim Wenders (HIP-O Records) I haven't seen the blues documentaries running on PBS--Scorsese served as executive producer for the series, and directed one episode--but I have heard the accompanying CDs, and I can tell you that Tom Jones's "Goin' Down Slow" (in the Figgis film) shows a deeper recognition of Howlin' Wolf than Lucinda Williams's embarrassing "Hard Time Killing Floor Blues" (in the Wenders) does of Skip James--and that Jones has infinitely more of himself to bring to the song. These two albums in particular are a study in weird contrasts, with Soul of a Man filled with ridiculous performances by Shemeika Copeland, Cassandra Wilson, Lou Reed, Bonnie Raitt, and Nick Cave, and Red, White and Blues mixing small masterpieces from Louis Armstrong (1947), Miles Davis (1957), and Big Bill Broonzy (1956) with famous and obscure recordings from the British 1960s (Cream's runaway-train version of Robert Johnson's "Crossroads," the Spencer Davis Group's impossibly sure, bone-chilling "Hey Darling") and grounded, present-day pieces by Jones, Lulu, and Jeff Beck. The shocker is the Lonnie Donegan Skiffle Group's more cited than heard 1954 cover of Leadbelly's "Rock Island Line." Donegan is so excited he runs right out of the studio and into the street, shouting, dancing, and you can almost hear thousands of British teenagers--among them four named John, Paul, George, and Ringo--saying to themselves, "I could do that! I have to! Now! This is the sound of another life!"

there is no way he can beat the politics inside the team. the power resides in helmut marko, and vettel.
even the body language of the red bull team member in the room before the podium in india, said how much the team rallies around vettel.
do you really think a 36 yr old aussie from a country of barely 20 million, has as much marketing clout as a young german guy who is being groomed into the next schumacher?
think about the money and sponsorship involved. think about the redbull brand's marketing long term marketing strategies. they want to create a motorsport megastar who breaks all the records, it's what the red bull brand is about. it's marketing, not motorsport.

Salem Police Chief Ron Campo holds up a bag of Synthetic Drugs, which he cites as a serious problem in the community.
Synthetic Drugs 'Biggest Law Enforcement Problem in Town', Says Salem Police Chief
"The emergency room will call us a couple times a week with somebody they cant control...I have to send two officers over there to manhandle the male or female who is freaking out on this stuff" Campo reported, "and its not just the bath salts, but the K-2 as well."
Campo says the problem has been difficult to prosecute because the substances are manmade and with a little tweaking the chemical may no longer be on the list of compounds that are considered controlled substances. As a result, charges often cannot be pursued until lab tests are completed. However, he says a new law that can go after the dealers for selling a product not approved for human consumption as well as a city ordinance is helping. Campo reports the department is also seeking forfieture of homes and vehicles involved in the drug trafficking to fight the problem. He says the synthetic drugs act just like methamphetamine and are extremely addictive. Campo says the low cost of the individual packets of the drug, between $3 and $5, makes it attractive to those in the low income bracket.
"It's very readily accessible, drive across the border to Missouri you can buy it and bring it back." Campo said of the substances, "The guys in the community are helping us the best, they tell us when there's a lot of foot traffic coming from a house, and we'll set up a case."
Campo says the synthetic cannabis is absolutely worse than the real cannabis. He noted heroin was not near as much of a problem as the synthetic drugs.
On another issue, Campo commended the city manager for coming up with a solution to the city's lack of animal control, which was the police department's number two problem. He thinks the use of the Jefferson County animal shelter and expanding Paul Wimberly's role as animal control officer is a great solution. Campo said his officers were handling three to five complaints a day for animals they could not capture because there was no place to take them.

The Frederick News-Post reports that the bell tower at Mount St. Mary's University in Emmitsburg, Md., which was damaged by a lightning strike earlier this year, will likely be repaired in time to ring for Christmas.
Catholic Education Daily reported last July that the Chapel of the Immaculate Conception on campus caught fire after being struck by lightning. Nobody was injured, but the chapel was closed for repairs.
Mount St. Mary's president Thomas Powell told the News-Post that repairs to the Chapel have cost the University about $500,000.
According to the report:
Crews have replaced rafters, plywood sheeting and slate tile. A gold cross that sits atop the tower was not damaged but was taken off while workers make the needed repairs.
Powell said the cross will be placed back on the tower once construction is completed.
Powell said that for certain exceptional students he takes them on a tour of the bell tower and allows them to sign their name on a wall. He also brings a mallet on the tour to allow them to ring the bell.

Denver leads Cal 10-3 in regular-season meetings between the two teams. Follow the action online with live stats available on DenverPioneers.com. Cal began its 2014 season at the NorCal Meet in Sacramento on Sunday, where the Bears posted a 194.650, the second-highest score in a season-opening meet in program history. The Blue and Gold claimed six top-three finishes, including three event titles by Alicia Asturias and a second-place finish in the all-around by newcomer Charlie Owens. The opening weekend success continued into this week as Asturias became the first Golden Bear to be awarded Pac-12 Gymnast of the Week since 2003, and Owens was named Cal's first-ever Pac-12 Freshman of the Week. Denver will open its 2014 campaign vs. the Bears. BEAR BITS • Denver leads Cal 10-3 in meetings in the regular season between the two programs. The teams last met on March 8, 2011 at a quad meet in Oregon State. Cal lost to Denver 194.625-194.175. • Alicia Asturias was named Pac-12 Gymnast of the Week on Tuesday, the first honor for a Golden Bear since 2003. • Charlie Owens was awarded Pac-12 Freshman of the Week, the first-ever of that honor for the Cal program. • Denver is the second of eight preseason-ranked teams Cal faces in 2014.

Westfield Township trustees and their legal counsel drafted a proposal at a meeting Wednesday morning that may settle a lawsuit filed by former township trustee Tim Kratzer and his wife, Linda, against the township over zoning.
"It's in the best interest of the township. I feel the township did everything within its limits and laws, and we're going by the advice of our attorneys," Trustee Gary Harris said.
The lawsuit, filed Aug. 12 in Medina County Common Pleas Court, alleges that parts of a township zoning referendum voters approved in 2011 violate the Kratzers' rights to develop their property.
The Kratzers' 105-acre property at 5669 Greenwich Road sits between Interstate 71 and Interstate 76/U.S. Route 224, just west of Chippewa Creek and north of Greenwich Road.
In July, the township Board of Zoning Appeals denied a use variance for the property, less than two years after voters in November 2011 overwhelmingly defeated a general business district amendment to township zoning laws that would have allowed the Kratzers to develop the land commercially.
According to court documents, the Kratzers say the location of the property makes it unfit for any use other than commercial development, and a zoning variance is needed. The land is zoned rural-residential.
The suit says denial of the variance prevents them from lawful development of their land and is unconstitutional and beyond the township's authority. It also says the rules applied to the Kratzer property are "arbitrary and unreasonable" and are invalid; and alleges that the refusal of the variance is as good as taking the land from the Krazters and they seek monetary damages for the value of the property.
The decision to offer a settlement was presented to residents at a special meeting Wednesday at the Medina County Prosecutor's Office in Medina at 8 a.m. Trustees went into executive session immediately to discuss the pending litigation and emerged to announce their
2-1 decision to offer a settlement at around 9:30 a.m.
The details of the settlement will be made public after the Kratzers and their attorney, Todd Hunt of Walter and Haverfield in Cleveland, have accepted it.
A public meeting notice says a special meeting will be 7 p.m. Dec. 27 to hear residents' concerns, but only if the Kratzers approve the settlement. If the parties come to terms, the settlement will be sent to Common Pleas Judge James L. Kimbler for his approval.
Several residents and township officials say they are outraged and that trustees are trying to bypass the will of the public.
"They're legal, don't get me wrong. They get residential input," trustee-elect William Thombs said. "But when are they going to take time to evaluate what the residents say? They're not. They're going to vote where they are."
Thombs organized the November 2011 referendum and was elected this year along with Michael Schmidt, ousting Harris and Ronald Oiler.
Harris and Oiler, who have supported the Krazters' plans, received only 17 percent and 19 percent of the vote, respectively. Thombs won the most votes, with 33 percent, and Schmidt, who chaired the zoning board of appeals that denied the Krazters' request for a use variance in July by a 3-2 vote, won 29 percent of the vote.
Tim Kratzer declined to comment and referred all questions to Hunt, who did not return a call for comment.

Clara's Happy Handmade Vintage Room
Small Kids, Big Color Entry #26
Name: Clara (2)
Location: Denver
Color Inspiration: The crewelwork that is above Clara's dresser was my jumping off point for decorating her room. It was made by my husband's great grandmother and was given to me by my mother-in-law. I am embarrassed to admit that I had actually given it back to her last year and then I asked for it back when I started decorating Clara's "big girl room." It is a perfect piece for her room and I love that she has a little piece of family history in it.
Tomas and the Forest
Small Kids, Big Color Entry #25
Name: Tomas (1)
Location: Chicago, IL
Color Inspiration: I wanted a combination of chocolate brown, lime green and gold as the the main colors. However, once we started putting the room together and we kept finding great objects, we kept adding color. There are no color rules in Tomas' room. There are touches of hot pink, orange, purple, cream, red, yellow... also we have a raw concrete wall so we wanted the room to feel warm. Every color is welcomed and because the main colors are still the inspiration, everything else falls into place for his non-traditional nursery.
Everett's House of Whimsy
Small Kids, Big Color Entry #24
Name: Everett (14 months)
Location: Ottawa, Canada
Color Inspiration: We didn't know the gender of our baby before he was born, so something that could work for a boy or a girl was a must. I wanted a happy, dreamy place filled with pops of colour, shape, and imagination. The "robin's nest" turquoise paint provided the perfect backdrop for all of the red and yellow (and other) accents throughout.

Hank's Golden Corral
Small Kids, Big Color Entry #22
Name: Henry (1)
Location: Glendale, AZ
Color Inspiration: Henry's room color was inspired from the vintage poster that I found at a local antique mall. The rest of our house paint is very light and neutral and I knew I wanted to go bold in Henry's small space. I have accent pops of golden yellows throughout our home which was a sure sign that I am drawn to the color.

Baby Balmeo-Sturgill's Bright Room to Grow In
Small Kids, Big Color Entry #21
Name: Baby Balmeo-Sturgill (due 12/14)
Location: Santa Clara, CA
Color Inspiration: The first piece to go into the room was the hand-made felt dala horse mobile, which was inspired by an artist on Etsy. After three generations of women in my family helped me to make our version of it, I loved all of the colors together, so rather than shopping for items that matched, I picked up anything that I liked in those saturated gem tones. In the end, the soft gray on the wall balanced out the variety of colors going on in the room.

June Apple's Pie in the Sky
Small Kids, Big Color Entry #20
Name: June (10 months)
Location: Louisville, KY
Color Inspiration: The color of June Apple's room was originally painted this way when it was our bedroom and I love it even more as a nursery. I love how saturated the blue is and how every other color seems to compliment it. While the paint color might be an unlikely choice for many people, everyone who sees it, loves it!

Ava's Inspiration to Sleep Through the Night - We Hope
Small Kids, Big Color Entry #19
Name: Ava (3 months)
Location: Chicago, IL
Color Inspiration: I've always loved pink and green together. The elephant sheets were one of the first things I bought and they were the jumping off point.
Maxine's Vintage Sunshine
Small Kids, Big Color Entry #18
Name: Maxine (2)
Location: Grand Rapids, MI
Color Inspiration: This room was originally our guest room, and sometimes still is, so I wanted to make it bright and fun for my two year old, but not overwhelming to our guests. The floor was already blue, so I wanted something neutral but cheerful for the accent wall. I chose a pale, buttery yellow which adds warmth to the room, but doesn't compete with the floor.
Julia's Folk and Flock
Small Kids, Big Color Entry #17
Name: Julia (4)
Location: Scotch Plains, NJ
Color Inspiration: At the tender age of 18-months, a few months before Julia's baby sister made her arrival, I moved Julia, now 4-years-old, into this room. The nursery Julia moved from was a serene, calm and muted space. I wanted to create a "big girl room" that would be colorful, fun and rooted in some history. Julia is the first American-born in our Russian immigrant family and we strive to keep her heritage alive. Many of the toys and books in her room are from my own childhood.

I know there are similar threads, and I have read them all. However none of them have been of any help.
I have this simple batch file:
@echo off
set /p UserInput=Enter a number:
echo Number was %UserInput%
I want to run this batch file from java, send the number to it and get the input.
I have a strange problem. I started the batch file using cmd /c, opened the input and output streams, but it still won't work. When I run a program, for example "cmd.exe", it returns the actual output that you get when you open a CMD window:
Microsoft Windows... Copyright (c) 2009 Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved.
So at least the code is partially working. However it simply does not give me ANY output whatsoever when I use
"cmd /c C:\\test.bat" (where test.bat is a valid batch file).
This is the java code. What's wrong with it?
import java.io.BufferedReader;
import java.io.BufferedWriter;
import java.io.IOException;
import java.io.InputStream;
import java.io.InputStreamReader;
import java.io.OutputStream;
import java.io.OutputStreamWriter;
public class Test {
private static BufferedReader bufIn;
private static BufferedWriter printOut;
private static Process p;
public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException {
Runtime rt = Runtime.getRuntime() ;
p = rt.exec("cmd.exe /c C:\\test.bat");
InputStream in = p.getInputStream() ;
OutputStream out = p.getOutputStream ();
bufIn = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(in));
printOut = new BufferedWriter(new OutputStreamWriter(out));
int ch = 0;
ch = bufIn.read();
while (ch != 0)
System.out.print((char) ch);
ch = bufIn.read();
//send a command to
while (ch != 0)
System.out.print((char) ch);
ch = bufIn.read();
//p.destroy() ;
I should be getting:
Please enter a number: Number was 209
Edit: I edited the code because it was apparently getting stuck at the readLine while there was no line :)
Anyway, I still have a problem. I'm getting:
Enter a number:
and nothing else, almost as if the output stream is not working at all.

You as an Interpreter have a unique and important role at Bergen Community College. Interpreters are a representative of the Office of Specialized Services/Deaf Services. Interpreters can, in a very dramatic way, educate others to view Deaf and hard of hearing people in a positive light. Interpreters serve both hearing and Deaf consumers. As part of the support team, it is essential that open communication be established early to achieve the best possible service.
It is your primary responsibility to attend class and/or other College activities with the Deaf and/or hard of hearing student (s) and faithfully facilitate communication between the student(s), faculty member(s) and other students involved. Interpreters are expected to look and conduct themselves in a professional manner. Interpreters should strive to maintain clear boundaries and distinct role of facilitating communication.
NOTE: College instructors will receive general orientation materials regarding the Deaf Services and should welcome you easily. Some professors may have additional questions or require additional information. If you are unable or uncomfortable addressing the instructors, please refer them to Deaf Services.
If the student is a "no show", you need to inform Deaf Services immediately so notice can be given for any other interpreters working the class in question. If the student is a "no-show" three times for the same class without notification, services will be suspended, unless otherwise notified. Services will resume for this class upon notice from the Deaf Services office only.
Parking: A parking permit/id must be obtained in order to use the college lot. Please see Office of Specialized Services staff for details.
Equipment: Portable lamps and flashlights are available in the Deaf Services office.

Update: Gisele confirmed the happy news on her web site today, writing, "We feel so lucky to have been able to experience the miracle of birth once again and are forever grateful for the opportunity to be the parents of another little angel. Vivian Lake was born at home on December 5. She is healthy and full of life. Thank you all for your support and well wishes. We wish you and your families many blessings."
They've kept a low profile throughout the pregnancy, but Tom Brady and Gisele Bundchen have some big news today: They are the proud new parents of a baby girl!
The Boston Herald reports that the New England Patriots quarterback and his supermodel bride welcomed their daughter Vivian Brady today. The baby joins the couple's 3-year-old son Benjamin, as well as Jack, Tom's son from a previous relationship. Though the pair didn't reveal their due date, Gisele was spotted sunbathing in Miami just last month looking fairly far along.
There are no further details just yet, but it's safe to assume that Gisele planned another home birth, seeing as she raved about the experience the first time around. Revealing at the time that she had an entirely pain-free labor, the Brazilian beauty said, "I am blessed to have been able to have a home birth surrounded by love, where I was able to feel safe. It was a powerful experience. I never felt so vulnerable but so strong at the same time."
It's also a pretty sure bet that the doting mama will be nursing little Vivian. Gisele has been one of Hollywood's most outspoken breastfeeding advocates, going so far as to suggest that it should be made mandatory for all new moms.
We'll stay tuned for more details on baby #2, but in the meantime, big congratulations to Tom and Gisele on their new arrival!

I love the inventiveness and the willingness to experiment for better or worse. I would also like Scotty to explain the word "vacation", it is not a word that either Scooter Bob or I am familiar with.FYI - We also have put together a low restriction air filter. For sale soon
Direct replacement for the OEM
The map on the UCE bikes is pretty wide, we have tried one and no problem
Hi prof thats the set up I have. The Watsonian curly whirly. No problems. See the link.http://www.royal-enfield.com/silencers.htmlCheers, Shappers.
Kevin, did you also try the air filter with a open pipe like your megaphone (or an open pipe with the stock airbox)? I experienced a lot of running problems with the RE megaphone installed (stock airbox). I had to take it off and put on the more restrictive EFI and 90% of my idling, stalling and hiccup problems immediately went away.

I want to try CX racing, and I happened upon an extremely cheap schwinn criss cross. The frame is lugged steel, and it has canti brakes. It's even pink. The seat tube is 22" which is great, but the top tube is 24"!! WTF? This brings me to my question...
I'm not sure what to do about the handlebars. It has flat bars with bullhorns. I have extra drop bars and stems (if the stems will even fit) however they seem like they would interfere with the front brake. Also, the top tube is a good 2" longer than what I have on my road bikes so I'm not sure if drop bars will even be usable. What bars I use will determine what kind of shifters I'll use I guess. Will I get laughed out of a race if I use flat bars? Will the aerodynamic disadvantage make it not worth attempting?
Also, do you guys think the stock wheels will hold up for long? They're pretty cheap but I was thinking about trying to true them and servicing the axles before looking into replacements. I want to use a 1xN gear setup I think, I doubt I'll need the granny gear or big ring.
Right now the bike needs a full servicing, tires, etc... so any other suggestions are appreciated. I know this isn't ideal and that it will end up being fairly heavy (~24lbs?) but I'm mostly just concerned with having a bike that won't hold me back much.

Pretty Little Liars
Pretty Little Liars Season 4, Episode 11: What Did Travis Tell Hanna?
On Pretty Little Liars Season 4, Episode 11: "Bring Down the Hoe," Hanna (Ashley Benson) met mysterious do-gooder Travis, who had some crucial information about the night Wilden was killed.
Travis dumped a lot of info on Hanna — and the audience! — at once, so we thought it was worth going back and breaking down exactly what his story is, so that you can decide if you trust him, and think about what his tale tells us about Wilden's real killer.
The envelope: Travis's first gift to Hanna was an envelope of hundreds with a note saying, "maybe this can help your mother."
What he saw: According to Travis, he was at the lake the night of Wilden's death; his family owns a garage, and Wilden called them to tow his car out of the lake. He explained that he saw Hanna's mom talking to Wilden — and he saw her drive away. (Ashley, on the other hand, did not see him, conveniently enough). He heard gunshots after she drove away. He also saw someone run into the woods, and he thinks it could have been a blonde, and it was definitely a girl.
So, the money: According to Travis, after seeing Wilden's body he panicked and left his truck at the lake (how did he get home? Did he just walk? Are we seriously supposed to believe he just forgot about his truck? Even Hanna found this hard to swallow). Later, the truck showed up at the garage, and the envelope full of cash was on the seat. Travis figures it was a bribe to say quiet.
Why come forward now? Other than the convenient timing of this being the penultimate episode of the season, why did Travis finally come forward and give Hanna the money? According to him, good old fashioned gilt.
What do you think: Is Travis telling the truth, or is there more to the story than he's letting on?
Catch the Pretty Little Liars Season 4 summer finale on Tuesday, August 27, 2013 at 8 p.m. ET/PT on ABC Family.

The Real Housewives Of Beverly Hills Recap: Stirring The Pot
March 04, 2013 07:12 PM by Megan Thompson
The Real Housewives Of Beverly Hills is all new tonight on Bravo. The ladies are still enjoying Paris, but Kyle gets worried when Kim goes missing. Plus, Kyle and Lisa duke it out on top of the Eiffel Tower!
The two tall blondes, Brandi and Yolanda are up early and jogging their way through Paris. "I can't jog anymore," a worn-out Brandi tells Yolanda. It must be the lemon cleanse she does, because Yolanda is in great shape. The two women slow it down to a walk, so they can swap Paris modeling stories.
While the others are jogging, Kyle and her hubby take a walk to the love bridge. It's this cool bridge in Paris where couples write their name on a lock and throw the key into the water below. Awe…Kyle and Mauricio forever. And just like a true romantic movie would end, it begins to rain ever so lightly as they kiss.
"I'm so glad we are in Paris I love you guys," Kim slurs to Ken and Lisa. There is an obvious difference in Kim's behavior since she landed in Paris. Maybe it's the
meds jetlag, but everyone is noticing. "She's up and down like a bloody yo-yo," Lisa tells the cameras. The three (plus Giggy of course) are shopping their way through the city and talking about Kyle. Both of the women feel their relationship has changed with Kyle. Lisa is never going to forgive Kyle for not sticking up for her.
Yolanda meets up with Lisa and Ken for some sightseeing and to swap crazy Kim stories. I think even Giggy is creeped out by Kim at this point! "Just because it is a prescribed prescription, doesn't make it okay," Yolanda tells Lisa. They all agree to keep an eye on their friend.
Later in the day all the ladies meet outside the hotel to go to a cooking class. And guess what? Kim isn't there! All the girls have flashbacks to waiting for Kim in Hawaii. But since Kim was acting so bizarre, the girls quickly get concerned about her. Two minutes later, Kyle and Yolanda are knocking and yelling at Kim's door. "Are you okay?" Kyle yells at Kim as soon as she answers the door. It seems that Kim was just catching up on her sleep and promises she will be right down. The ladies wait, and wait some more, until Kim finally comes down and gets into the car. "I'm totally exhausted," Kim tells the women. Lisa pokes fun at Kim, but Kim isn't having any of it and she ends up crying. Kim feels that Lisa is just stirring the pot and doesn't know if she can trust her anymore.
Kyle is in the car consoling her sister, while the other ladies start the cooking class. "There's a duck head in there," Brandi shrieks when she peaks under the butcher's paper. All the ladies run outside in their heels and gag as the cook whacks all the duck's heads off. The girls just goof around, while the chef does most of the cooking. The ladies plate their food for their men and Kyle uses the cherry sauce to make a heart for her man. Brandi decides to use the initials F and U on her plate. "You have to write an F and a U if you are using cherry sauce, duh it's porn 101," Brandi tells us. Surprisingly, Brandi and Kim are getting along very well at dinner. Brandi is being very protective of Kim, in a nice motherly way.
The next day the girls do what they do best, they go shopping! But even the Beverly Hills ladies are in sticker shock as they look at a $14,000 shirt. Yolanda, Kyle and Kim talk about how Lisa continues to stir the pot and holds a grudge. When the ladies leave the store, Mauricio surprises Lisa with a bag that she was admiring.
The ladies ditch the men and head to the top of the Eiffel Tower. This is where Kyle pulls Lisa aside for a little chat about their friendship. But when Kyle starts in on Lisa, Lisa asks, "I don't understand where I hurt you?" But Kyle insists that Lisa acts differently towards her. "My relationship with you has changed," Lisa admits. Then Kyle throws out the Brandi card – that Lisa only has room for Brandi in her life. As Kyle tears up, Lisa has to tell Kyle that she loves her. But to the cameras, Lisa tells Kyle to get over it!
What did you think about the girls' trip to Paris? Let us know what you think, leave us a comment below.

Fez 2 Won't be on an Xbox Platform - NewsNick Pantazis, posted on 21 June 2013 / 2,612 Views
The well-known and often controversial indie developer Phil Fish has revealed in an interview with Polygon that the newly announced Fez 2 will definitely not be hitting the Xbox 360 or Xbox One. When asked what platforms he was going to release the game on Fish responded with the unambiguous statement "Not Xbox."
Fish's problems with the platform don't seem to be related to the DRM or used game policies, which Microsoft recently changed, but with their treatment of independent developers. He also stated the PS4 is "doing everything right," which seems to imply the platform is a likely candidate for his new title.
This won't come as a huge surprise to any who followed the patching controversy when Fish pointed out the large fees Microsoft charged him to patch a game, leaving the original Fez broken for many players due to the costs. Unless Microsoft's policies change, the Xbox One is the only next generation platform to not allow self-publishing for independent developers (the Wii U, PS4, Vita, and 3DS all allow it).
This announcement comes just after another pominent independent developer on Xbox, Skulls of the Shogun developer 17-Bit, criticized the software giant similarly.

What's it worth to save a life?
Nobody wants to hear about inmates or jails or prisons; better left swept under the rug. In this climate
of social hygiene, our "Corrections" system better serves as "The New Ghetto." Rehabilitation has evolved into a foreign concept. What happens when the "ghetto-ites"
are released? An astonishing two-thirds of ex-prisoners will re-offend within three years.
We believe that our program makes a BIG difference and we believe that the choice of reading material has an enormous IMPACT on the quality of life both behind walls and after release. That's why we started this IMPACT program to offer books that will influence those who read them in an extraordinarily powerful way.
Just as we are what we eat, we are what we think. That concept, however, remains foreign to many who have not been exposed to "advantages." For those inmates who are ready to move beyond complacency and mediocrity, the gifting options shown below will help provide the necessary tools. This cutting edge program is unique to Providence Books Through Bars.
Typically, most book recipients in our program tell us that their shipment will be shared with dozens of other inmates. That means that every dollar goes a long way in benefiting the lives of many.
Decide for yourself: What's it worth to save a life?

Haru Kuroki, "The Little House"
At 23 years old, Japanese actress Haru Kuroki offers a touching, breakout performance as a maid working in Tokyo before and during World War II in Yôji Yamada's "The Little House." She clearly won over the hearts of James Schamus, Christoph Waltz, Greta Gerwig and company, as they and their fellow Berlinale jury members decided Kuroki would follow in the mighty footsteps of Paulina Garcia ("Gloria"), Sally Hawkins ("Happy-Go-Lucky") and the female cast of Oscar-winning Iranian film "A Separation" as the festival's Silver Bear winner for best actress.
Benjamin Naishtat, "History of Fear"
Buenos Aires is a haven for paranoia and confusion in Argentinian writer-director Benjamin Naishtat's mesmerizing debut "History of Fear," though its title is something of a misnomer. Rather than chronicling the timeline of the listless quality that characterizes Argentina's suburban class -- and, by extension, those around the world -- "History of Fear" hypnotically sets its gaze on the present. Borrowing the beats of a disaster movie without ever giving the invisible threat a name, Naishtat explores the tenuous constructs that allow a subset of the population to deny the harsher ingredients of the world beyond their safety zone -- until it's thrust right in front of them. Read Indiewire's review here.
Ivo Pietzcker, "Jack"
Berlin offered a very strong batch of performances from child actors, not least among them young Ivo Pietzcker in the well-received homegrown competition entry "Jack." In the title role, Pietzcker portrays a 10 year old Berliner responsible both for himself and his little brother as their single mother works during the day and often goes out at night. That is until Jack is blamed for burning his little brother with hot water (even though it's not his fault) and social services puts him in a home -- only he quickly escapes and goes out on a quest through Berlin to find his mother. It's a lonely, poetic story from director Edward Berger that Pietzcker has no issue anchoring -- breaking our hearts in the process.
Tony Revolori, "The Grand Budapest Hotel"
Speaking of young actors, 17 year old Anaheim-native Tony Revolori follows "Moonrise Kingdom" stars Jared Gilman and Kara Hayward in managing the ultimate dream of a feature film debut: co-starring in a Wes Anderson movie. In "The Grand Budapest Hotel" -- which opened the Berlinale to raves -- Revolori plays Zero Moustafa (or "Lobby Boy"), a role that placed him within an epic Andersonian cast including Ralph Fiennes, Tilda Swinton, Bill Murray, Adrien Brody, Owen Wilson, Jude Law, Saoirse Ronan, Willem Dafoe and Jeff Goldbum. But Revolori more than holds his own, and when "Budapest Hotel" hits US theaters in March, there will be more than a few folks talking about him.

Kevin Garnett is meeting with the media right down in Houston, fresh off last night's story that the C's were in trade talks with the Clippers about sending Garnett to LA for DeAndre Jordan and Eric Bledsoe. For Celtics fans that were worried about such a deal, the quotes coming out of Houston right now from a variety of reporters are likely very reassuring.
#Celticstalk : When asked if he would in any way waive his no-trade clause. "No," KG said. "If it's up to me, I'll live and die green."
— A. Sherrod Blakely (@SherrodbCSN) February 16, 2013
Kevin Garnett said there is no team he would be willing to waive his trade clause for. "I bleed green," he said #celtics #clippers
— gary washburn (@GwashNBAGlobe) February 16, 2013
Has Danny Ainge approached KG about a potential trade? "Not of recent, no," KG said. #Celtics
— Baxter Holmes (@BaxterHolmes) February 16, 2013
"If its up to me I will live and die green," KG said. When reminded its up to him, KG said: "OK then. So what are we talking about it?"
— Marc J. Spears (@SpearsNBAYahoo) February 16, 2013
When asked if there was any team or circumstance that he would drop his trade clause for, Kevin Garnett simply said: "No."
— Marc J. Spears (@SpearsNBAYahoo) February 16, 2013
That should hopefully put an end to that trade talk for now. The C's recent resurgence is enough for Kevin to believe this team has a chance at it. And since they do, he's not going anywhere.
For more on why Garnett won't want to deal, check out this CelticsHub piece outlining KG's likely thinking on it.

Memories are odd: that which we think we can never forget fades, while an inconsequential, rote event of daily life buries within you, ushering you back to the past.
I took my dog Shiloh to the park thousands of times, but I remember the events of a cold winter's day as if they happened yesterday.
As we approached the park's gate, Shiloh sat down and looked up at me. His chocolate-flavored eyes gazed up into mine, infusing me with that special breed of love known only to dog-lovers. I patted him on his forehead, feeling that familiar, comforting indentation just between his eyebrows.
"Good dog."
As I opened the gate, my well-behaved German Shepherd Dog became possessed by evil playtime spirits and he darted forward - almost tearing my arm off. I dropped the leash to save my arm, and watched as all six feet of leather unfurled like a live wire behind him; whipping back and forth, picking up mud and who knew what else.
I called Shiloh back, pulling a tattered pink and green disk out of my pocket and waving it up in the air: the Frisbee, his most favorite toy in the whole entire world. More than Mr. Lion, more than the wood bed frame and more even than the newly-adopted kitten, Shiloh loved his Frisbee. I could get him to do anything for a simple throw.
Like running back to me, which he did as soon as he caught sight of his much-loved disk. From across the field and coming towards me at a full run, Shiloh's eyes never left the Frisbee. They positively bored into it: I half-believed its growing hole was a result of a laser-like ocular operation and not just a consequence of his sharp teeth.
Shiloh skidded to a stop about two feet in front of me, his tongue languishing to one side as his telltale sign of joy - drool - formed on his lower lip.
"Shiloh, sit."
Shiloh sometimes suffered from selective hearing when his Frisbee was in play. As he stood there, not sitting, his drool gathered mass and then slowly, slowly stretched out into a long thin string of gelatinous disgustingness that finally - plop! - fell to the ground and woke him from his reverie.
Shiloh sat.
"Good," I said, quickly giving the Frisbee a warm-up throw.
Shiloh, using his powerful back legs to push off, easily reaching top speed in three or four strides. I watched him run, run, run and then - pounce! From my distance I couldn't see it happen, but I knew instinct was kicking in: holding the Frisbee tight in his powerful jaws, Shiloh was shaking it vigorously. Killing it, really.
As he trotted back to me, his ears up and alert, his chest swinging with pride, Shiloh gave the Frisbee a few more shakes of his head - added insurance towards its imminent demise.
I grabbed the Frisbee from his jaws, noticing with regret that the hole in its center was larger than before. It would soon go to the hospital; all killed toys spent their final days on top of the refrigerator. It was purgatory for plushies.
"You ready for another, Puppy?"
Oh, yeah.
I let it rip: throwing out my arm, flicking my wrist and then artfully spinning the Frisbee off my fingers at the last possible second...
It was a thing of beauty.
His shoulders reached forward and back, pumping with effort as he gained speed and power and then, just as he approached the Frisbee's apex, engaged his back legs to push himself up and off into the air. The loud snap as his jaws closed on the Frisbee was like a thunderclap, followed by a dull thud when his 98lb body hit the ground.
Shiloh loped back to me for a repeat performance. I indulged him. Then again and again, far into the night, until he was so tired that he dropped at my feet panting but happy, the Frisbee loose between his jaws.
Life with Shiloh went on in this way: chasing, catching, chasing, catching. Over the years parks changed; pristine suburban fields gave way to dusty urban corrals, which finally became a few acres of canine heaven in the hills of Los Angeles. Frisbees were eventually replaced with tennis balls, but the core of his playtime regimen remained basically unchanged.
Until a hike left him limping for days. Stairs became difficult, and then impossible. Soon exercise consisted of boring walks at the park: Shiloh placated his playtime spirit by carrying the balls he could no longer chase. Before long we stopped going to the park altogether. Walks around the block, to the café - that was his limit.
My puppy had gotten old.
I woke one beautiful July morning to find Shiloh motionless in the office, a strand of old, hardened drool extending from his mouth to the floor - he had been there for a while, unable to move. His breathing was labored, his eyes unfocused. I asked him if he wanted to go to the park, wanted to go for a walk, anything to make him get up. I begged him, I offered him treats, people food, I even used my angry voice. Finally I asked him if he wanted to go play Frisbee. Nothing. He wouldn't - he couldn't - get up.
And he never did. But there was a moment during his brief illness in which he seemed aware of me. He was on the floor of the vet's operating room, surrounded by his dog bed and an old squeaky toy I had brought from home. As I sat down on that cold, hard floor, his ears perked up ever so slightly, and his eyes, unglazed for the first time in days, found mine. I laid down next to him so I could whisper in his ear. I just kept telling him what a good dog he was and that he was going to go play Frisbee really soon. He was a good dog, I told him. He was the best dog.

Same strategy, usual results
Badgers face third-ranked Mukwonago Friday at home
August 29, 2013
WEST ALLIS — The beat goes on.
Despite losing its top running back and quarterback from last year, the Badger High School football team didn't change its character.
As it's always been during the coaching era of Matt Hensler, the Badgers showed off a smash-mouth ground attack — this time with seniors Andrew Allen at fullback and Collin Broderick at QB.
Like the Packers of old, teams know what they'll be getting from the Badgers, but have a hard time stopping it.
The Badgers churned out 402 total yards, 342 on the ground, in a 28-14 victory over West Allis Hale in a non-conference opener Saturday.
Allen led the way with 241 yards on 24 carries and Broderick chipped in 49 on 11 carries.
Allen had a TD run of 13 yards to open the scoring and ended it with a 47-yard scamper. Austin Borst added 33 yards on the ground and also caught a pass for 22 yards.
Despite its usual emphasis on the ground game, Broderick also threw a 23-yard TD strike to Andrew Cychner in the second quarter. Broderick ended the night 3 for 9 for 60 yards, a TD and an interception.
While Allen's run opened the game, Hale actually took the lead at the end of the first quarter with a TD on a 10-yard run and an extra point.
After a nine-win season last year an appearance in the state semi finals, Badger wasn't accustomed to running from behind. But the deficit didn't last long as the Badgers ran off 15 unanswered points before halftime.
Both teams were shut out in the third frame.
Hale got its second TD in the fourth quarter with less than two minutes to go on a 14-yard pass, but the Badgers answered 39 seconds later with Allen's 47-run and sealed the deal.
Hale was a mirror opposite of Badger when it came to their run-pass ratio.
The host team put the ball in the air 33 times and finished with 17 completions.
That compares with only 28 running attempts. They gained 162 of their 248 yards in the air.
Despite losing and using most of its snaps in the passing game, Hale had a distinct lead in time of possession.
The only black mark for the Badgers was the fact that they fumbled four times, losing three.
Last year's leading tackler, Andy Cychner, who also led the state in that category in 2012, didn't miss a beat starting the new season, with 8 tackles. Evan Gibson added six more.
The Badger's will face Mukwonago, ranked third in the state, in its home opener.
The Chiefs beat seventh-ranked Racine Horlick 43-33 Friday.
"They are very good," Hensler said of Mukwonago. "It's always great for us to play a bigger school from a bigger conference. Good challenge, even more so with them being ranked so high."
It's an especially keen rivalry for Hensler as he is a Mukwonago graduate and his father, hall-of-fame coach Keith Hensler, is now an assistant to his son at Badger.
"My dad coached there for 30 years so we know a ton of the coaches, players (and) families," he said. "It should be a lot of fun!"

Progress for docs' day
Healing of the sick requires teamwork, and doctors are at the core of this relationship. As the region celebrates National Doctors' Day March 30, we at Commonwealth Health celebrate the work of all physicians.
Doctors are people of compassion who heal those who are sick. They listen and give advice. They diagnose and prescribe medicine if needed. They evaluate tests, suggest or perform surgery and, always, they answer the questions of those anxious about medical conditions.
Commonwealth Health commends doctors of all specialties - primary care and medical/surgical specialists - who treat our population's medical conditions.
Just as our region's population is aging, so is our pool of physicians. To help address the region's physician needs, Commonwealth Health is pursuing an aggressive strategy to recruit and retain the best physician talent in our region. This effort has already met with great success, as we've welcomed 21 new primary and specialty care physicians to our area over the last year. Several physicians have offices in more than one community to increaset convenience.
Our hospitals also are active in the development of physicians through our own Family Medicine Residency Program, founded in 1974, and with The Wright Center for Graduate Medical Education and The Commonwealth Medical College, to strengthen opportunities for medical education and residencies.
I'm proud to say that Commonwealth Health touched almost 2 million lives last year. Our hospitals admitted almost 48,000 patients and had more than 1.7 million outpatient visits, performed nearly 40,000 surgeries and more than 3,700 newborn deliveries. Our affiliated emergency departments saw more than 152,000 visits. Patients count on us. With our joint announcement giving Geisinger Health Plan members access to Commonwealth Health hospitals, it's clear that offering more options to our patients is a high priority for us.
We appreciate our patients' trust and are committed to quality care and personalized service. And every doctor in the Commonwealth Health family joins our commitment to high quality standards.
Just as we're investing in our doctors, we are investing in facilities and technology. In just the last year, more than $71 million in capital investments were made across Commonwealth Health's affiliated hospitals, part of a $250 million investment over the next several years.
Our facilities will invest nearly $40 million over the next year in developing user-friendly clinical automation and electronic medical records to allow doctors and clinicians to harness the digital power of information technology.
Our accomplishments wouldn't be possible without our dedicated employees, volunteers, and the support of our boards of trustees. Our success is truly a team effort.
As we observe National Doctors' Day this year, we pay special thanks to all of the region's medical practitioners. To our doctors, we all say "thank you."

Verdasco reaches SAP Open final against Raonic
SAN JOSE, Calif. Fernando Verdasco saw the way Juan Martin del Potro dismantled Lleyton Hewitt in the quarterfinals of the SAP Open and knew he'd have to be at the top of his game to make a return trip to the final.
Verdasco used another strong serving match and a powerful forehand that delivered winners at key moments to beat del Potro 6-4, 6-4 in the semifinals Saturday night.
"That match maybe woke me up in the sense that I said to myself, 'I really need to go out there and give my best if I want to win this match,'" Verdasco said. "I started from the first point 100 percent and I broke him in the first game of the match. I was feeling pretty good in all the aspects of the game."
Verdasco will play Sunday against unseeded Milos Raonic, who advanced to his first ATP Tour final in a walkover after second-seeded Gael Monfils pulled out of the tournament with an injured left wrist.
Verdasco improved to 9-0 at this tournament and is looking to follow up the title he won in three sets over Andy Roddick in last year's final. He is looking to defend a title for the first time in his career and earn his sixth career championship.
"For my style of game this court is one of the surfaces that I feel better on," Verdasco said. "It's one surface and conditions that really help me for my game."
Verdasco made it back to the final despite spending almost two weeks before the tournament on his couch in Madrid after having a cortisone shot in his injured left ankle and then nursing a fever.
He was tested more than he has been all week by del Potro, the 2009 U.S. Open winner who is working his way back into form after missing almost all of last year with a right wrist injury.
Verdasco had his run of 37 straight service holds snapped early in the second set but responded to the early deficit by breaking del Potro's serve in two of his final three service games.
He got right back into the set with a nifty forehand passing shot winner on the first point on del Potro's next service game and then earned a set point with another forehand winner. His deep return forced del Potro to hit a forehand wide and he was back on serve at 2-3.
Verdasco then withstood a three-deuce game on his own serve to get to 4-all and came through on his fourth break point attempt in the next game to take control. He hit unforced errors on the first three break chances, barely missing a forehand winner down the line. He won it with a forehand winner and then held his final service game at love, closing the match with his fifth ace.
Verdasco broke del Potro's serve in the opening game of the match and was never threatened in the opening set, losing just three points in his five service games. Del Potro lost his serve three times after losing it just once in his first three matches this week.
"I had a bad start but it was in the beginning of the match so I had all the rest of the match to try to beat him," del Potro said. "But he played much better than me today."
Del Potro has fallen from fourth in the rankings after winning the 2009 U.S. Open to 484th heading into this week as he played only three tournaments last year because of the injury and did not win a match after January. He was looking to become the second-lowest ranked player to win an ATP Tour title since the rankings began in 1973. Hewitt was ranked 550th when he won in Adelaide in 1998.

The twelfth day in the month of June has been selected to offer social protection to children and thus help stop or reduce child labour.
Social protection is human right and makes sound economic and social sense. Social protection enables access to education, health care and nutrition and plays a critical role in the fight against child labour.
In the Twifo Atti Morkwa (TAM) District the programme was organised by Development Fortress (DF), a Non-governmental Organisation and International Labour Organisation (ILO).
Mr. Bossman Osei Hyiamang, the District Chief Executive (DCE) in his welcome address, praised the organizers of the programme noting "that ever since the child labour programme came to this district, it has really benefited the pupils a lot."
Again, he said child labour did not mean children should not help their parents at all "but it really means they should not do work that will affect their health and their education."
Moreover, the DCE advised parents to take good care and think about children's future because children had every right to attend school. He equally advised the pupils to learn harder to become responsible citizens in future to help themselves and their communities.
Mrs. Enyonam Amafuga, the District Education Director said Ghana Education Service (GES) appreciated what the two organisations -DF/ILO had done to help the basic schools in the district. She announced that about 750 children had benefited from the project and also 300 parents had been given capital to begin their businesses.
She advised the school children to stay away from drugs, early sex and to make sure they dress well anytime they are going out. The chief executive Officer of Development Fortress Mrs. Freda Opoku presented 100 dual desks, 5 wall clocks, 616 text books as well as a football and jerseys to the schools and pupils.
