Whether carrying a movie as a fading country singer in Crazy Heart or crooning "Silver Bells" with Cookie Monster on Saturday Night Live, Jeff Bridges has always had a soft spot for singing and performing. Galvanized by his unanimously admired performance in Crazy Heart, Bridges releases his first album in more than a decade tomorrow. (On the same day, Bridges will reunite with the cast of The Big Lebowski in New York to celebrate that film's release on Blu-Ray.)
Bridges' album is hardly a vanity project. Bridges and longtime friend T Bone Burnett's collaboration on Crazy Heart prompted the actor to take a year off from film to write and record the album, which includes guitarist Marc Ribot, drummer Jay Bellerose and bassist Dennis Crouch. And as our list below shows, his new record is just the latest in a long musical history for Jeff Bridges. Here are Hive's personal favorites.
1. Crazy Heart
As aging, itinerant country singer Otis "Bad" Blake, Bridges displayed a brute honesty and emotional resilience that would earn him the Academy Award for Best Actor. Bridges did his own singing and guitar playing in the film, and its soundtrack would eventually go on to win Best Compilation Soundtrack at the 53rd Grammy Awards. [Watch here.]
2. The Big Lebowski
One of the most indelible scenes in the Coen Brothers' bowling comic noir finds Jeffrey "The Dude" Lebowski soaring through the sky before a bowling ball hurtles toward him, Raiders of the Lost Ark-style. Bob Dylan's "The Man in Me," also heard in the opening title sequence, provides the memorable backdrop to this surreal scene. [Watch here.]
3. Starman
As a DVD extra to this romantic sci-fi film about an alien who assumes the form of a woman's dead husband, director John Carpenter included this Bridges/Karen Allen duet of the Everly Brothers' classic "All I Have to Do is Dream." The video, in all its '80s glitz and cheese, intersperses film clips with the two leads' awkward mic-sharing rendition. [Watch here.]
4. American Heart
We haven't seen this 1992 indie film about a 12-year-old boy and his fresh-out-of-jail dad either, but anything with a long-haired, ill-moustached Bridges playing "Sunny Side of the Street" on an octave guitar gets our vote. [Watch here.]
5. Tron: Legacy
The middling sequel to the groundbreaking 1982 film polarized audiences, though all seem to agreed that Bridges' memorable utterance, "It's bio-digital jazz, maaaan," is a highlight. Unsurprisingly, the film's writers told Ain't It Cool that Bridges himself came up with the line, which has since become MTV Hive's new mission statement. [Watch here.]

Democratic Republic of the Congo (Tier 2)
Democratic Republic of the Congo is a source country for men, women and children internally trafficked for forced labor and sexual exploitation. The vast majority of the trafficking occurs in northeastern and eastern Congo, regions that are mostly outside effective transitional government control. Armed groups continued to abduct and forcibly recruit Congolese men, women, and children to serve as laborers, porters, domestics, combatants, and sex slaves. The government estimated that 30,000 children were associated with armed groups within the country. Civilians were forced to provide labor for armed groups and the Congolese military (FARDC). There were confirmed reports of children in prostitution in brothels across the country. During the year, a number of personnel from the UN peacekeeping mission to the Congo (MONUC), were accused of sexually exploiting women and girls.
The Government of the Democratic Republic of the Congo does not fully comply with the minimum standards for the elimination of trafficking; however, it is making significant efforts to do so. The government made substantial progress in combating trafficking in 2004, particularly in the area of prosecution and law enforcement. To further its anti-trafficking efforts, the government should continue demobilizing child soldiers and sustain momentum in prosecuting perpetrators of human rights abuses, including trafficking, in the eastern part of the country.
During the year, the government demonstrated increased commitment and attention to undertaking trafficking-related law enforcement activities. The country's criminal justice system – police, courts, and prisons – was decimated following years of war and remains extremely weak. Although there is not a specific law prohibiting trafficking in persons, existing laws prohibit slavery, forced labor, rape, and prostitution of children under the age of 14. In 2004, the government investigated and/or prosecuted a number of traffickers for recruiting soldiers, operating forced labor camps, and committing rape. In May, FARDC arrested former Mundundu-40 Commander Biyoyo for unauthorized recruitment of soldiers, including minors. Biyoyo, however, was granted provisional release and is thought to have fled the country. The government and MONUC worked to break up known forced labor camps in Ituri. The judicial team in Ituri District collected 31 testimonies of victims that confirmed repeated, systematic and massive human rights violations by Ngiti militia, including slavery and sexual servitude. The government, with MONUC's assistance, arrested Ituri militants accused of such violations. By October 2004, over 50 persons were in government custody awaiting trial; however, 31 escaped with the help of prison guards. Courts in South Kivu reached convictions in 57 of 60 cases of sexual violence over the last year and a half, with sentences ranging between ten months and 20 years imprisonment and included reparations to victims and their families.
The Ministry of Defense and the national demobilization commission, CONADER, worked closely with NGOs, international organizations, and civil society entities to demobilize and reintegrate children associated with armed groups. Services provided included identification and separation from adult militia members, discharge, relocation to temporary transition centers, and family reunification or placement in foster homes. The FARDC made significant efforts to demobilize and reintegrate back into their communities children associated with armed groups. An estimated 5,000 children have been released from the FARDC and armed groups since October 2003. However, many former rebel groups only nominally affiliated with the FARDC still contain large numbers of children. Moreover, some rebel groups forcibly recruited and re-recruited previously demobilized child soldiers. The Ministry of Social Affairs chairs CONADER's technical steering group on issues related to child soldiers. The government has no resources to provide relief to other types of trafficking victims.
Prevention efforts remained the weakest facet of the government's anti-trafficking efforts. CONADER participated with a number of other organizations in the development of a national public awareness campaign regarding the use of child soldiers. The government supports such programs, but is not in a position to provide resources or execute them on its own. There is no formal coordination or communication between various government agencies on trafficking in persons.

Street Workers of the Gulf
By Sumayyah Meehan, MMNS Middle East Correspondent
Lured to the Gulf region with the promise of a brighter future and a steady salary, poor expatriate day laborers are finding it increasingly difficult to provide for themselves and their families back home. Most are residing in the region on expired visas, which means they are illegal residents and can face prosecution if caught as they are in violation of residency codes. Typically, their sponsors have long since ended their relationship with them by either not paying their salaries or firing them from their jobs. And with zero financial resources to get back home, most are forced to earn whatever living they can from the unforgiving streets.
The glittering buildings and sparkling malls of Dubai are a pretty convincing façade for a country in which so many people are suffering. Most of the laborers come from Southeast Asia and have specialized skills in construction but little formal education. However, as the construction boom that struck gold in Dubai a few years ago continues its heart wrenching downward spiral, many laborers are being laid off and not even given the courtesy of a return ticket home.
With limited skills, many of the illegal laborers have turned to the streets to look for work. For some, scavenging semi-precious metals and recyclables from garbage cans around the cities of some of the richest countries in the world has been the only way to earn enough money to buy a single meal. Kuwait is one such country where it is not uncommon to see men, and sometimes women, digging through garbage dumpsters to collect whatever 'valuables' lie within. Several pounds of recyclables yield a very minute amount of cash. It can often take an entire day to earn enough, and that often does not even meet the poverty standard for most industrialized nations.
The city streets of Dubai also provide a minimum amount of opportunity for earning a meager living. Street hawkers walk up and down busy intersections hawking everything from washcloths to flashing neon toys to anyone willing to roll down their window. They risk their lives dodging between heavy and fast-paced traffic to earn a couple of dollars a day. And the hawkers must keep an eagle eye out for authorities, as they will be arrested on the spot for selling goods without a license. Other laborers have found that washing cars is the best way to earn cash. At any given time of day, men with buckets of murky water and even grimier towels offer their car wash services to any car that approaches. They are easy to spot, often seen wiping down brand new Jaguars and Land Cruisers in the sweltering heat of summer.
The governments of most Middle Eastern nations have taken on their very own version of "Don't ask, don't tellâ€. The sponsorship system is the law of the land and the vast majority of expatriate workers are not even afforded the most basic of human rights. Instead, they are left to scrounge for whatever living find and only dream of one day making it back to their homelands.

BUFFALO, N.Y., May 14, 2014 – First Niagara President and CEO Gary Crosby today announced the bank is providing $500,000 in funding for start-up businesses and community redevelopment initiatives on or near the Buffalo Niagara Medical Campus (BNMC). First Niagara has committed $500,000, of which $400,000 has been designated to date.
The balance of First Niagara's investment, $100,000, will be awarded to area not-for-profit or other potential partner organizations being sought to administer the funds to entrepreneurs and start-ups on the BNMC and in the surrounding Fruit Belt, Allentown and West Side neighborhoods. Local organizations already designated to administer funding from First Niagara include:

We are committed to the revitalization of this section of our community that will soon become a world recognized leader in life sciences research, medical education and healthcare services."
The First Niagara Foundation has provided vital support for not-for-profit entities on and around the Campus for many years. First Niagara's investment in the Buffalo Niagara Medical Campus and surrounding area, since 2009, has totaled $4.0 million.
"First Niagara continues to demonstrate a real commitment to actively being a part of Buffalo's growth," said Congressman Brian Higgins.

This investment in the Medical Campus helps sustain momentum along the growing corridor and provides quality job opportunities for local residents."
Organizations interested in applying to administer the remaining $100,000 in grant funds to entrepreneurs looking to start-up businesses on or around the Buffalo Niagara Medical Campus should contact Tony Alessi, Director, First Niagara Specialized Banking Operations and Support Services, at 716-819-5549 or firstname.lastname@example.com.

Seeing as Tom lost the title by half a point last year, I hope he doesn't come to regret his cautious approach today. Personally, I thought it was very dissappointing to see him not challenging at the front when things got slippy. It was his bloody home round for crying out loud and a lot people would have paid to see him take a win or at least battle for a podium, intead of tootling around for minor points.
Others may disagree, but I'd rather see Tom bin it fighting for the win rather than pussying around. Guintoli was racing injured, but he still laid it on the line, as that's what racers do!
I lost some of my respect for Tom today.

I was checking out our stats on ESPN against Baylor and noticed Dorsey-Walker was 1/1 from 3. Is this a typo or did he play tonight? I was under the impression he was redshirting this year.
Typo. Mistake by ESPN. He didn't play.
Typo. Went 3/3 from 3-point land. One was a half court shot to end the first half. From behind.
It was Babb.
I removed it.

[This article originally appeared on our sister site,
Hot money outflows from US-listed junk bond
during the fourth quarter have so far not been replicated in
Since October 1 the two largest US-listed high-yield bond
tracker funds, iShares' $ High Yield Corporate Bond Fund (NYSE
Arca:HYG) and State Street's SPDR Barclays High Yield Bond ETF
(NYSE Arca:JNK) have seen over $1.7 billion in outflows, as
investors cash in after a long period of price rises.
Even after the recent outflows, the two funds are still well up
for the year in terms of new assets. HYG has seen its share base
expand by 44% in 2012, while JNK is up 26%. The funds currently
have $16.1 billion and $11.8 billion in assets, respectively,
collectively almost 3% of a US junk bond market estimated at $10
trillion in size.
In Europe, however, assets in iShares' Markit iBoxx Euro High
Yield Bond ETF (LSE:IHYG), the region's largest junk bond index
tracker with €1.6 billion in assets, have so far held steady during
the latest market sell-off.
According to one market maker, there are substantial differences
between the US and European junk bond ETFs.
"The US products trade much more in tune with the overall
sentiment of the market," says Lee Williams, partner and head of
trading at Bluefin Holdings, a market maker. "And they can be seen
as a driver of the underlying junk bond market in the US," he
"But in Europe junk bond ETFs are not yet big enough to affect
the underlying markets," Williams told IndexUniverse.eu. "So even
though junk bond prices are off around 5% in the last week, you
haven't really seen that reflected in IHYG's asset base. And in
fact we're still seeing good demand from UK investors for
high-yield products."
US high-yield ETFs are also much cheaper to trade than their
European equivalents, Williams pointed out, something that makes
them more susceptible to short-term hot money flows.
"Bid-offer spreads on the US-listed ETFs are ferociously tight,"
said Williams, "although the price of the ETFs will move around
with respect to the underlying net asset value (
). Sometimes ETFs will trade at a premium and sometimes at a
At the close of New York trading on Thursday iShares' website
reported that the price of HYG was at a 0.33 percent discount to
the fund's NAV, while SPDR reported JNK to have closed at a 0.47
percent discount. HYG traded at a premium of 1.38 percent to NAV as
recently as mid-September, a period when inflows to the fund were
"In Europe IHYG trades on-exchange at spreads of between 10-25
euro cents, around 10-20 times higher in percentage terms than for
HYG and JNK in the US," said Williams.
"But there may not be so much depth in the quote at the tightest
screen prices in the US," he continued. "There may only be 2000
shares to trade at the tightest, 1-2 basis point spread quoted in
the US market, whereas in Europe you can be confident of trading in

[ Movie! Season 1! Season 2! Season 3! Season 4! Season 5! Season 6! Season 7! Angel Season 5]
This is a Lorne ep - he holds a halloween party. Everyone acts strange - but hey, its the halloween ep.
Angel participates as an Aztec demon fights a family of Mexican wrestlers. The tone is comical, but Angel questions his role as hero.
Cyborg ninjas are on the rampage. Luckily, Wesley's father is in town to give poor Wesley lots of put-downs.
Spike is corporeal, and poor old Harmony is horny. It turns out that reality is unstable [Shanshu prophecy]. Angel and Spike compete to be the big hero.
Eve seems to have her own story arc!
The survivors go after Illyria and her worshipper. Wesley is especially driven by rage and vengeance.
Illuria saves Gunn. Why? Illuria and Wes are both unstable.
Conor (Vincent Karthusier) is back. He has to fight Sarjahn, to fulfill the prophecy.
Gunn oversees contract negotiations between a clan of Demons [led by Jeff Yagher - V: The Series ] and a human woman [David Boreanz's RL wife Jaime Bergman ] who wants to sell her baby to them. The new Liaison (Adam Baldwin - Firefly ) manages to be sleazy and slippery (and very well-dressed).
Illyria is unstable, jumping back and forward in time until she will explode. And since the Wolfram and Hart building is on the San Andreas fault-line, that is a bad idea. Angel has Lorne keep tabs on her, until he can get Wesley to solve the problem.
Angel and Spike go to Rome, to help Buffy fight The Immortal. They bump into Andrew there - the Slayer Army has plans. Luckily, Wolfram and Hart has branches everywhere!
There is a wonderful flashback to 1894, featuring Darla and Druscilla.
Fred's parents are in LA! Fred (Illuria) is now the show's 7of9.

Real Estate Law
Have Real Estate Law Questions? Ask a Real Estate Lawyer.
I do not know. It is a state tax lien
1. Is there a way to sell a house if it has a tax lien on it? I do not have the money to pay off the lien and there is not enough equity in the house to cover the tax lien.
2. If my Real Estate Agent finds a buyer but the house does not sell (because of the lien) - will I still need to pay the real estate agent / broker?
1. Is there a way to sell a house if it has a tax lien on it?Yes but only is the lien is paid off at the closing.2. If my Real Estate Agent finds a buyer but the house does not sell (because of the lien) - will I still need to pay the real estate agent / broker?The broker will never find a buyer if the property has less equity than the amount of the lien. Brokers only get paid when a sale is concluded.I'm sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but it would be a disservice to you, and unprofessional of me, not to provide accurate information.
The seller has a duty to disclose material information, so I believe you have a legal duty to disclose the lien to the broker, even if it was already recorded as a public document by the County Recorder.
you are welcome

Upstairs is busy with rigidity and drama this week, and it's about what it's always about: bribery and corruption.
The big pig debacle is teaching all of the upstairs cast about life and hard work. Mr. Blake and Mr. Gillingham are in the same room with Mary, and things get heated. Mr. Blake finally exits, but not without leaving a trail of sexual tension behind him.
Nobody knows how Robert is "getting on" in America because he is slowly becoming an insignificant character on the show and in the family.
Mr. Blake handles Mary's child (what's his name/he's never around) and Mary is obviously super turned on by that, as told by the widening of her eyes.
Edith and Mary have been rather nice to each other lately, but oh how I miss the rotten cattiness.
Isobel Crawley is encouraging Branson to find socialism again, but he finds Sarah Bunting instead. Bunting, the political teacher with a pretty smile, seems to be a fitting replacement for Sybil. Maybe. As always, I am still grieving over Sybil and Matthew, and it might still be too soon for me.
Aunt Rosamund, who is usually an ice cold bitch, is keeping Edith's secret baby a secret. Which is really, really hard for her. Still no word from Michael Gregson, and the Dowager Countess finds out about the secret baby because that woman doesn't miss a beat. Rosamund reassures Edith with, "You are not happy, but at least free".
Cousin Rose is caught with Jack Ross in public again, and Branson's feathers seem ruffled. Remember when Matthew used to swoop in and rescue Rose (and the entire family) from insufferable embarrassment? This time, however, Rose is not just partying and making a fool of herself. She seems to truly enjoy Ross's company (or at least the thrill of it). When Ross seems weary of the situation, she comforts him by saying, "Isn't it time people knew there are bigger and better values than the mean spirited ones they live by?" Later, when she finally reveals she is ENGAGED, it seems she only wants to get married to a black guy to piss her mother off.
Is anyone else getting sick of how bitter Daisy has been over Alfred? Now Alfred wants to marry Ivy, and Mrs. Patmore is tweakin' about handling this much drama. Ivy is in the exact same situation as Daisy was with William in seasons one & two. Minus World War I and awkward family guilt trips. Mrs. Patmore has become somewhat of a guidance counselor and authority figure for the younger staff, and it's an enjoyable dynamic. She may pretend to hate it, but on the inside she loves being that maternal figure in Daisy and Ivy's life. After Daisy says goodbye to Alfred, Mrs. Patmore expresses her pride: "If you were my own daughter, I couldn't be prouder than I am now."
Anna finally confesses to Mary that Lord Gillingham's valet Mr. Green, was her rapist. Lord Mary's realization gave me chills, mainly because I'm not used to seeing that much of a reaction from her. After some sleuthing, Mr. Bates totally knows Mr. Green was the one who raped his wife, and he plans to do something about it. Mary Convinced Mr. Gillingham to relieve Mr. Green from his duties, but HE'S DEAD AND BATES PROBABLY KILLED HIM.
Molesley and Miss Baxter share a tender moment about feeling "fragile" and
their loyalties to Thomas, the mischievous under butler.
Until next week,
"Life kicks the stuffing outta ya sometimes, doesn't it?" – Molesley

Support Westmoreland County Businesses.
by Karen Fetter
If you consider yourself an animal lover and respect wildlife, then you
would be interested in learning about Wildlife Works Inc., located in
Youngwood, Westmoreland County.
Wildlife Works rescues and rehabilitates injured or orphaned wildlife.
Injured wildlife can occur when an animal is hit by a vehicle or hurt by
another animal or person. Animals taken in by Wildlife Works include hawks,
owls, songbirds, raptors, small mammals like squirrels, rabbits, opossums,
chipmunks, reptiles, snakes, frogs, toads, duck, geese, etc.
Wildlife Works does not accept companion animals such as dogs and cats
nor does it accept large wildlife such as deer, as the facility does not
have enclosures needed to house large animals. Also, the office is located
in downtown Youngwood surrounded by busy streets. Larger animals like deer
need wide open spaces to live and run.
"Our goal is to rehabilitate the animal so it can be released back into
its natural habitat," said Lisa Vezzani. Unfortunately, some animals die on
their own and some have to be euthanized if they cannot be healed.
Occasionally, animals not strong enough to be released but that can be
helpful for education and are given to zoos or nature centers.
Lisa is one of only two paid employees that Wildlife Works relies on.
The organization was formed in 1991. Since that time Wildlife Works has
remained focused on caring for the wildlife that native to the area. The
facility is licensed by United States Fish and Wildlife and the Pennsylvania
Game Commission and remains one of only two Wildlife Centers serving
Westmoreland, Fayette, and Somerset counties.
"I have always loved animals. I walked into this position over 10 years
ago and this type of work gets under your skin. I learn something new every
day," said Lisa.
Despite the commitment of its paid employees, Wildlife Works needs
additional help. Monetary donations would help with buying much needed
supplies to care for the animals. Wildlife Works also has a "Wish list"
that lists all the needed materials so those who want to donate are aware of
the items they are contributing toward.
Volunteers are also greatly appreciated, especially between the months of
March through October. These are the months that the offspring of wildlife
are being born. These new additions create the need for a lot more care
because the caseload nearly triples. Volunteers are only required to work
one four-hour shift per week. However, it is important that volunteers
understand that wildlife creatures are not like domestic animals. Contact
needs to be limited so the animal does not become dependent on humans.
Therefore, all volunteers are trained extensively so the experience is a
positive one for both them and the creatures in their care. Volunteers must
be at least 18 years of age or older.
There are numerous ways in which Wildlife Works stays involved with the
community. One way is by offering unpaid internships for those in college.
This experience provides hands-on training and exposes students to native
Wildlife Works also offers the "Adopt-a-Wildling" program. The
money for the adoption would be used to care for an animal so it will be
able to be released back into its natural environment. There are also
educational programs available for groups that would like to learn more
about wildlife and what to do if a person finds an injured animal.
If you or someone you know finds a wounded or injured animal, there are
several steps to take. The first step would be to call the office as soon
as possible. The staff will advise and give complete instructions based on
the circumstances and what type of animal is found. Generally, most animals
should be gathered up and placed into a box. A specific time needs to be
arranged for the admission because it is dangerous to leave a wildlife
animal unattended on the grounds.
"We try to convince people to co-exist with their wild neighbors," said
Wildlife existed before housing complexes and office buildings were
built. The more expansion that occurs, the less room there is for
wildlife. As a result, more wild animals are seen in yards, on the road,
and in open spaces. The animals are forced to live among people. Many of
the animals are hit and injured by vehicles. If people do not slow down and
watch for animals crossing the road, many needless tragedies can occur.
The road is not the only area of danger for wildlife. The weather can
also impact the animals. Harsh weather conditions can cause animals to
starve or become injured because they do not have shelter. Animals can also
be injured by predators.
To learn more about how you can help wildlife either by helping to save
an animal's life, monetary donations, or working volunteer hours visit
www.wildlifeworksinc.org or
call 724-925-6862.
Because the staff is small, people should utilize the phone messaging
system. Whether or not the phone is answered, someone always checks
messages throughout the weekend and in the evenings especially through the
summer months and warmer weather when more animals are in need.

Vast Majority of Americans Say the World Won't End Today[12.21.2012]
The question on everyone's mind today, of course, is: will the world end? According to our recent survey, only 2% of Americans believe that the apocalypse, as predicted by the ancient Mayans, will occur by the end of this year, but they might have the last laugh if asteroids come pelting out of the sky.
Was the "Mormon Moment" More of a Blip?[12.20.2012]
A new Pew survey reveals that despite Mitt Romney's lengthy run for office and his much-publicized Mormon faith, 82% of Americans say they learned little to nothing about Mormonism during the 2012 campaign.
Should Teachers Be Armed?[12.19.2012]
In response to the Sandy Hook shooting, teachers should be armed, says Texas Gov. Rick Perry. Roughly 1-in-10 Americans (but more than one-third of Tea Party members) say that allowing more private citizens to carry guns for protection is the most important thing that can be done to prevent mass shootings.
Is the NRA's Influence Weakening?[12.18.2012]
As Americans continue to struggle last week's tragic shooting, many are looking to clergy to explain how a loving God could have allowed these events to occur. Meanwhile, in this week's graphic, Americans' opinions about the best way to prevent mass shootings in the future.
Gun Control and the Media[12.17.2012]
At the Washington Post, George Washington University professor Danny Hayes argues that politicians will have to give the media a reason to continue to focus on gun control issues. A slim majority of Americans favor passing stricter gun control laws.
How Do Top Earners Feel About Being Taxed More Heavily?[12.14.2012]
How do top earners feel about being taxed more heavily? More than 6-in-10 Americans who make more than $100,000 a year agree that the government should raise taxes on those who make more than $250,000 a year.
Return of the Jedi?[12.13.2012]
According to the British Census, the "Jedi" religion is the seventh most popular faith in Britain.
Judge Rules That North Carolina's "Choose Life" License Plates Are Unconstitutional[12.12.2012]
North Carolina's new "choose life" license plates were ruled unconstitutional because the state does not offer a pro-choice alternative. The question is: would the state provide an option for the sizeable number of people who identify as both pro-choice and pro-life?
LDS Church Launches Website on Same-Sex Attraction[12.11.2012]
Late last week, around the time when the Supreme Court agreed to hear two cases related to same-sex marriage, the LDS Church launched a new website aimed at "cultivating respect and understanding" toward gay and lesbian people, although it continued to maintain that acting on same-sex attraction is a sin. Only around 1-in-5 Mormons support same-sex marriage.
Did the Auto Bailout Decide the Election?[12.10.2012]
At the Washington Post, Georgetown professor Dan Hopkins argues that the auto bailout didn't decide the election. Roughly 6-in-10 voters nationally (59%), in Ohio (59%), and in battleground states (61%), agree that the government should have acted to help the American auto industry.

1964 Chevy Chevelle Malibu - Two Of A KindWritten by on April 1, 2004 Contributors: Terry McGean
If you're a gearhead with kids, then you better believe they'll eventually grow out of the cartoons and bicycles and find their way into a street machine. For the Hecker family out of Machesney, Illinois, it came a little later than sooner, but nevertheless it allowed the elder, Ron, to enjoy every aspect of being a father and having the chance to share his enthusiasm for the hobby with his son Josh.
Ron's passion for street machines began when he was only 13. You see, rather than paying attention to his high school shop teacher, Ron was sitting in the corner of the classroom reading Car Craft. By the time he was 15, he saw his first '64 Chevelle at a local dealership and has never been the same.
Over the years, Ron tinkered with '67 and '68 Chevelles, and eventually purchased the blue '64 seen here, only he decided not to build it and instead later sold it to Josh. At the time, Ron and Josh worked on the car whenever Josh came home from college, unfortunately Josh later opted to sell the car back to his father after graduating in an effort to pay off bills. Here's where the twist really begins. Now that Ron had the car back, he finally decided to assemble the big-horsepower small-block mill that he wouldn't build for Josh.
Fast forward a couple of years: Josh had settled into the working world as a police officer and decided that it was time to get into another street machine. And with the help of his father, they located a new project Chevelle in Wisconsin with only 30,000 miles on the odometer. Since the newly acquired Chevelle was in fairly decent shape, the decision was immediately made to restore the vehicle back to its original showroom condition rather than laden it with high-performance aftermarket components. So what you have here is a Chevelle one-two punch-with class.

Polling climate in Canada
What do Canadians think about climate change? "Relative to respondents in the U.S., Canadians are more convinced that climate change is occurring, more concerned about it, and more willing to pay to address the issue," according to a researcher quoted in a November 6, 2013, press release from Canada 2020 — a thinktank offering "progressive policy for a modern Canada" — describing the results (PDF) of the Canada 2020/Université de Montréal National Survey of Canadian Opinions on Climate Change.
Asked, "From what you've read and heard, is there solid evidence that the average temperature of earth has been getting warmer over the past four decades," 81% of Canadian respondents said yes, 12% said no, and 8% said that they were not sure. Acceptance of global warming was highest in Quebec and the Maritimes (85%) and Ontario (82%), lowest in Manitoba and Saskatchewan (65%) and Alberta (71%). In the United States, 61% of respondents said yes, 25% said no, and 14% said that they were not sure.
Those who said that there was solid evidence of global warming were then asked, "Is the earth getting warmer because of human activity such as burning fossil fuels, or mostly because of natural patterns in the earth's environment?" In Canada, 58% of respondents attributed it to human activity, 15% to natural patterns, and 23% to a combination; 4% said that they were not sure. In the United States, 40% of respondents attributed it to human activity, 21% to natural patterns, and 36% to a combination; 3% said that they were not sure.
The Canadian portion of the survey was administered by Léger to a nationally representative sample of 1,502 adult Canadians (aged 18 and over). All surveys were conducted via telephone in English and French from October 10 to October 20, 2013. Calls were made using both landline and mobile phone listings. The margin of sampling error for the full sample is +/- 2.5% in 19 out of 20 samples. Results were weighted according to gender, age, language and region to reflect the latest population estimates from Statistics Canada (Census 2011).
The American portion of the survey was administered by the Muhlenberg College Institute of Public Opinion to a nationally representative sample of 984 adult Americans (aged 18 and over). All surveys were conducted from October 3 to October 14, 2013. Calls were made using both landline and mobile phone listings. The margin of sampling error for the US sample is +/- 3.5 per cent, 19 times out of 20. Results were weighted to gender, race income, educational attainment and age to reflect the most recent population estimates from the 2010 US census.

But this son of a dockworker from Northern England started out as a hoofer.

35 Years Later: Debunking some myths about the 1980 Winter Olympics
Today, USA Hockey fans celebrate the 35th anniversary of the first of seven games played by a bunch of unheralded college kids en route to a memorable gold medal that meant as much to a sputtering nation as it did to the players themselves.
Romanticized by the 2004 movie, Miracle starring Kurt Russell as the venerable Herb Brooks, the United States' 4-3 victory over the seemingly invincible Soviet Union "Red Army Team" is often misconstrued as the final game of the tournament, in which the host nation captured gold. To some who know the Americans still had to take on Finland two days later, the "Miracle on Ice" is simply known as the tournament's semifinal.
In reality, neither of these scenarios held true. Until 1992, The International Olympic Committee had a round-robin tournament format in place that was second only to the NCAA in ridiculous ways to determine a champion. In fact, the 1980 Winter Olympics might have been the most overcomplicated format we've ever seen.no comments

The Bachelor
What Does Clare Crawley Think of Reaction to Her Late-Night Bachelor Swim? She Says…
At this very moment, The Bachelor Season 18's Clare Crawley may be rolling up her sleeves, squinting at her keyboard and preparing an emotional response to her motion in the ocean with Juan Pablo Galavis.
Everyone who watched the Vietnam episode came away with an opinion, including on how far the couple might've gone in the water. JPG just blogged that he's sorry to have agreed to the late-night swim, but Chris Harrison wrote that our Bachelor was borderline rude to Clare and needed to apologize.
But what's Clare's take, not only on what happened, but on everyone else's opinion on what happened? L.A. Times writer Amy Kaufman tweeted directly to Clare: "SO curious to hear what you have to say about all of the reaction to your episode. Weigh in!" Clare replied, "You will hear soon:)"
Dun dun DUN!
Amy wrote back, "yaaaaaaaaaas gurl. share your truth." A bunch of other fans also responded to the tweet with Team Clare support, including notes like "He didn't treat you right! You can do better than him....," "totally on your side, but I would've packed my bags as soon as he tried to place blame. You can do better than that," "You love with your [heart] You did what I would've done- Cheering for you girl! He had the choice to say no and why.....He didn't," and "he did you dirty! That was a #coward thing to say to u and I'm surprised U didn't give the rose baack!!! He sucks!"
So, once again, it's not that great a week to be JPG. But Clare is still in this and she and Juan Papa Bear are going to talk through what happened this coming week on Episode 6 in New Zealand. Who knows, maybe it ends up bringing them closer together.
Are you curious to hear Clare's response to the episode? Do you think she'll clarify exactly what went on in the ocean or keep that private?

Phoenix, AZ (Sports Network) - Ian Kennedy threw seven solid innings and the
Arizona Diamondbacks pounded out 15 hits to win their seventh straight season
opener, this time topping the St. Louis Cardinals, 6-2, at Chase Field.
Kennedy (1-0) struck out eight and allowed two runs on five hits and a walk
for Arizona, which is trying to rebound from last year's disappointing third-
place finish in the NL West.
Martin Prado, Arizona's prized offseason acquisition, hit two doubles, scored
twice and knocked in a run, while A.J. Pollock went 3-for-4 with a pair of RBI
in his first appearance on Opening Day.
Gerardo Parra added four hits, including three doubles, for a Diamondbacks
offense that knocked out Adam Wainwright (0-1) after six innings, as the
newly-signed ace was touched for four runs -- three earned -- on 11 hits
Daniel Descalso and Matt Holliday each drove in a run for the Cardinals, who
were within one win of making consecutive World Series appearances last year,
as they lost Game 7 of the NL Championship Series to the San Francisco Giants.

In these images we are able to re-explore the chronology of pain in human life: from the pain and confusion in our infancy with our pre-natal and post-natal mother, to the persecution complex of our aggressiveness that brings back, as a boomerang, a sense of guilt and the need of expiation, from the pain of caducity, of our separation from the object of love, the loss of a dear one, to the pain of a necessary self-revision and the following feeling of being alone.
And this is not a useless suffering; on the contrary, it is a source of knowledge of ourselves, as philosophy and psychoanalysis taught us. Pain is a part of our lives and through pain humanity can acquire wisdom and understanding.
Surely pain can generate knowledge but it is also true that knowledge can induce pain.
The pain, the "pathos" of viewing these images, of hearing these stories, makes us "aware" in the sense of "Pathein mathos"- from ancient Greek- I learn though suffering. Surely this kind of knowledge, which represent many things but indifference to the condition of man, a theme very central in Savino's work, makes us suffer once more.
Even if pain is a very personal feeling, by indentifying with these photographs, much more intensely than through many intellectual and verbal analysis, pain reaches and envelop us at a personal level.
Savino is a photographic master of identification interplay and reminds us, along with Marina Cvetacva that " The soul, vertex of spirituality for the common man, is for the spiritual man, almost flesh".

I first discovered photography through an old shoebox of yellowing pictures on my grandparents' kitchen table in Italy. They were born into extreme poverty at the beginning of the 20th century in the malaria-ridden swamps of southern Tuscany. Their pictures quickly became a portal for me to travel to a different era. They became a visual corroboration of the oral histories I heard over and over around a bowl of roasted chestnuts during the long winter evenings of my childhood. My passion for photography is about documenting and preserving oral culture. The main subjects of my personal work have been unsung heroes of everyday life: everyday people. For many years I worked for CBS News, traveling around the world learning to tell visual stories. Now, based between New York City and the Caribbean, I continue to find stories worth documenting and people worth giving voice to.

"Kane is coming."
True Justice season two premieres Friday, January 4th at 9 Eastern/8 Pacific and it barely takes a breath before the heart-pounding action starts.
While it's nice to know the ins and outs of what happened in the first season of a series, the only thing anyone new to True Justice really needs to know is that there's going to be plenty of action, lots of explosions, and a plethora of beatdowns courtesy of Steven Seagal's Elijah Kane. For those who still want a quick recap of the end of the first season, check out the short synopsis after the jump.
Season one began with a ring of violent heroin dealers descending on Seattle, and Elijah Kane (Seagal) took on the job of assembling a crack team of law enforcers to take down the bad guys. Included on his team were newbie Sarah Montgomery (Sarah Lind), the fiery and tough Juliet (Meghan Ory), the cocky and volatile Brett Radner (Warren Christie), and the always-by-the-book Andre Mason (William "Big Sleeps" Stewart). It didn't take long before they all came together to bring down the kingpin, Nikoli Putin (Gil Bellows), and get him behind bars. After several more episodes worth of bad guys being taken in and Kane administering true justice whenever he saw fit, Nikoli is finally headed to trial, and Kane and his team are preparing to testify against the drug lord. That's when Nikoli's men target Kane's team, figuring that dead men will tell no tales. When the dust clears, it's only Kane, Sarah, and Andre that are left standing, and now Kane is out to seek his revenge.
Season two sees Kane tracking an elusive underworld figure called "The Ghost" who may be the one behind the hit on his team. Methodically, and brutally, working through various baddies, will Kane and his new team of off-the-books operatives be able to take down "The Ghost"? Tune in tonight.

New York Jets and New York Giants Home Openers
September 7 (Jets); September 14 (Giants)
With the arrival of autumn comes a new football season and renewed hope for New York's teams. Sure, 2014 didn't turn out the way the Jets and Giants had hoped, but everyone's tied for first on day one. Gang Green kicks off first at MetLife Stadium, with quarterback Geno Smith facing the Oakland Raiders. Big Blue brings its revamped offense—complete with no-huddle interludes and a renewed focus on the run—home for a Week 2 tilt against the Arizona Cardinals.

The secret behind a beautiful smile!
Incognito braces are placed behind your teeth, so no one will even know you are wearing braces — unless you want them to! Incognito braces are created using state-of-the-art technology and are the only 100% customized, invisible, fixed-braces system on the market today. A consultation with our doctors can determine if Incognito Braces are right for you
How does Incognito work?
Incognito brackets are placed on the back side of the teeth and are not visible from the front. Working just like traditional braces, lingual braces straighten a patient's teeth within the same amount of time as traditional braces would. Because Incognito braces are customized to fit your unique mouth, your teeth are fitted with an impression.
Then a laboratory will use computerized technology to create the gold brackets to fit onto the back of each tooth. These Incognito brackets are bonded into place by your doctor and you're on your way to a beautiful smile without anyone noticing!

I quite understand keeping just one bike, but why would you prefer the hooligan?
I quite understand keeping just one bike, but why would you prefer the hooligan?
CBR, I was going to suggest a couple of the aforementioned choices as well.......
#1 .) Go to....or......ride to.......a place where it's safe. Here in Southern California the riverbeds & retired railroads have trails made "specifically" for bikes. In fact, you'll find youtube videos covering things like Santa Ana River Trail, Mountain to Sea 1 & 2, Pacific railroad trail etc. There are LOTS of dedicated places. For those I usually toss my bike in the truck & go to the location.
#2 .) Group ride with the local bike shop. I didn't ride it this weekend, but for the first time, I went down to the local bike shop & watched them start. There was a large group (about 30 bikes) and they ate up a whole lane. Cars HAD to respect the group cuz they were in the lane of the road. Tail lights flashing, group escort riding the outer edge & constantly overlooking the next lane of traffic. It was definitely cool!! I am going to hook up with them soon just to enjoy being part of a group that OWNS a lane of traffic.
If you still like your Sirrus, I'd highly recommend investing 1 or both of the above & see what you can hook up for your area before selling. Summer's coming!!
But there are strong patterns to motorcycle fatalities. These characteristics are found in 1/2 of deaths, note they overlap a lot as the characteristics are not exclusive.
1) no licence
2) new to bike or not ridden in awhile
3) alcohol
4) after market pipes
less then 1/2 but still very significant
1) no safety training
2) tired
3) cold
4) older rider (45+ I think, but lots of re-entrants...)
5) new to high displacement machine.
2013 Trek Madone 2.1
Do Hooligans have multiple gears? I am getting tired of my hybrid to be honest.
EDIT: Appears they have 3. Is that pretty standard?
You should be careful, though; road cyclists who are a part of group rides, or racing each other, don't always choose safe routes or roads.
For two years, during spring through fall, I used to occasionally see a group of cyclists riding together as a group- or racing each other- along a busy road, with a few dangerous, hilly curves that are blind spots for motorists where the speed limit is listed as 35mph, but vehicles actually move at least 45mph.
That road doesn't have any bike lanes, nor shoulders, and it would cause an accident because motorists wouldn't turn a corner expecting to suddenly find a slower cyclist/ group of cyclists in front of them; they expect all traffic on the road to be travelling around as fast as they are (they drive as though they think it's a race track or highway).
I didn't see the groups of cyclists last year, so I guess they realized that that wasn't a safe road to ride or race on.

More fatalities occur from car-bike collisions when the bike is on the sidewalk than when the bike is on the road. Typically, cyclists get hit on the sidewalk from a car turning into a driveway or when they reach a cross-walk in a busy intersection.
In Ohio, where I am, a bicycle is a "Legal Road Vehicle" and cyclists are expected to ride on the street. They are more readily visible to motorists. In some municipalities, a cyclist can be fined for riding on the sidewalk.

CBR don't sell your bike yet! We just need to find some good riding areas for you. No need to mix it up with the 18 wheelers - there are a huge number of great roads and trails to ride on.
If you're in the city of Seattle, use this map to plan your ride. There are all sorts of awesome multi-use trails and bike lanes:
Seattle Department of Transportation: Bike Program
If you're outside the city, the King County bike map is full of literally hundreds of miles of bike trails.
Regional Trails System (RTS)
Don't give up! You just haven't found the good places to ride.
Finally, this blog is full of useful information:
Seattle Bike Blog
Again - don't give up. Seattle is one of the best places in the world to ride a bike!!
Don't be a drama queen. Find another place to ride your bike, get a mirror on your handlebar or helmet to see whats coming behind you.
In the interim try reading the results of a google search for bike trails in Seattle.

I'm NOT being patronizing; you've now found that you don't like road riding (mixing it with traffic), at least not for now. Some people do; some don't mind; and some simply never get comfortable with it. Group rides won't help; they are road rides, and they also involve close riding with other cyclists who will "yell at you" if you don't get the etiquette/technique of riding/drafting at close quarters.
If you do want to keep going -- and I would hope you do -- why not try the trails/MUPs in your area as Delmarva suggests. Also, don't forget you live in the Pacific Northwest -- G_d's country, as far as I'm concerned (I'm from Vancouver Island, now in exile in Ontario!), and MTB Heaven! Have you thought maybe of trying mountainbiking?

Valdosta, GA - South Georgia Medical Center received a top honor today in Valdosta.
South Georgia Medical Center ranks number one in the state for Spine Surgery. That's according to Healthgrades.
Healthgrades is a leading provider of information about doctors and hospitals throughout the United States. The award ceremony occurred here at the SGMC Surgery Center Lobby at Noon today. The hospitals spine care program was also ranked in the top ten for the entire country. Between 2009 and 2011 the hospital treated more than 1500 spine patients.
Eric Gee, Orthopedic Spine Surgeon: "I think one of the most important things is to not get scared. We train very hard. Very long grueling training process. We do this day in and day out so fear's not really a factor. We've got a job to do and we set out to do it and we always accomplish our goals."
Healthgrades evaluated roughly 4500 hospitals around the country before giving South Georgia Medical Center the award.

No. Each hwloc-bind command in the mpirun above doesn't know that there
are other hwloc-bind instances on the same machine. All of them bind
their process to all cores in the first socket.

> process 1499 (rank 2) on socket.0:core.2
> process 1500 (rank 3) on socket.0:core.3
(let's assume your mpirun command did what you want)
You would get something like this from hwloc-ps:
1497 Core:0 ./test
1498 Core:1 ./test
1499 Core:2 ./test
1500 Core:0 ./test
These core numbers are the logical core number among the entire machine.
hwloc-ps can't easily show hierarchical location such as socket.core
since there are many possible combinations, especially because of caches.
Actually, you might get L1Cache instead of Core above since hwloc-ps
reports the first object that exactly matches the process binding (and
L1 is above but equal to Core in your machine).
If you want to get other output, I suggest you use hwloc-calc to convert
the hwloc-ps output.

> process 1318 (rank 3) on socket.1:core.1
No. Again, all processes are bound to 4 different cores, so hwloc-ps
shows the largest objects containing those cores.
In the end, you want a MPI launcher that takes care of the binding
instead of having to manually bind on the command line. It should be the
case with most MPI launchers nowadays. Once this is ok, hwloc-ps will
report this exact core where you bound. And you might need to play with
hwloc-calc to rewrite the hwloc-ps output as you want.
I am thinking of adding an option to hwloc-calc to help rewriting a
random string into socket:X.core:Y or something like that.

Jefferson thought that many English laws and taxes were unfair, so he studied hard to become a lawyer and help make better laws. Soon he and others came to believe that the colonies should become a new country, and Jefferson was chosen to write the Declaration of Independence. As the third president of the United States, he focused on exploring the country and making it grow. His fairness and love of learning made him one of the most beloved presidents of all time.
