Photos from the site of a building that collapsed Wednesday in Savar, near Dhaka, Bangladesh, Thursday, April 25, 2013. By Thursday, the death toll reached at least 228 people as rescuers continued to search for injured and missing, after a huge section of an eight-story building that housed several garment factories splintered into a pile of concrete. The disaster in Savar, an industrial suburb of Dhaka, the capital city, is the worst ever for Bangladesh's booming and powerful garment industry, surpassing a fire five months ago that killed 112 people and brought widespread pledges to improve the country's worker-safety standards.

Home schooling is a growing trend.
TODAYshow.com, in a web-only series, reported on the growing number of American kids who don't have a lunch hour every day, but spend entire days eating whenever they feel like it. At least, that was my experience. I ate lunch at all different times. Sometimes I ate it twice. Sometimes I skipped it in favor of a composition I was working on. Or a piano lesson I was teaching. Or a book I was reading. But I never expected to be part of a "growing trend."
In an article connected with the project, TODAYshow.com suggests through encounters with some home-schoolers and former home-schoolers that this group of people might not be as weird as everyone has always suspected. The first home-schooler mentioned in the piece is a teenage girl who loves to shop. She hangs out a lot at the mall. See! Totally normal! A 25-year-old who gets quoted is described as being very socially confident.
And it's a good thing that TODAYshow.com is covering this news, because this is information that needs to be shared. The stereotype of the cowering, twitchy home-schooler who wears his T-shirts tucked far, far into his too-blue jeans and never really learned how to shake someone's hand and say, "Hi, nice to meet you," is getting old. So is the idea that all home-schoolers are conservative Christians? I'm Jewish. I knew a lot of Jewish home-schoolers growing up (though none of them were home-schooled for religious reasons). I knew hippie home-schoolers. I knew brilliant intellectual home-schoolers. There's a lot of variety.
I'll be perfectly honest. I knew that guy -- the twitchy one. He was home-schooled. He was annoying. He had really awkward body language and a perpetually bad haircut. I also ran into a version of him at summer camp. He went to high school, and had been in a classroom since kindergarten. And then in college, there were a bunch of him. They'd all gone to school. One of them, when he found out that I'd been home-schooled, asked me in his uncomfortable, halting way how my parents could've been abusive enough to prevent me from gaining access to socialization. He said he felt sorry for me. He hooked his fingers under the belt that fastened his baggy corduroys, tried to lean back casually, and bumped into someone walking by. He turned bright red, adjusted his glasses and avoided my gaze.
I didn't even know where to begin.
The truth is, some home-schoolers are nerdy and socially awkward. Some are wildly confident. My brothers each have about a thousand adoring friends who orbit them. Their friends try sometimes to dress more like them. To sound more like them. They're both in college now, and the transition from home to school didn't seem to faze them. Some kids who go to school are nerdy and socially awkward. And when this happens, it's probably more impressive that they manage it, since they're around so many people who often remind them that they are not worth as much for being this way.
I'm glad that home schooling is becoming a trend. It makes sense that it is. Look at our school system! Watch Waiting for Superman. Cry. And think, "There must be a better way..." There is a better way.
Malcolm Gladwell identified it in Outliers, when he wrote about KIPP schools. Geoffrey Canada, the force behind the Harlem Children's Zone, knows what it is. And home-schoolers offer their own less unified, less structured, less studied, but -- I would argue -- equally effective alternative.
As something becomes more obvious, it becomes gradually less stigmatized. But home schooling IS weird. And home-schoolers ARE different. And rather than trying to prove that everyone is the same, and home-schooled girls are as addicted to Forever 21 and Gossip Girl as their schooled counterparts, it's probably better for us all to acknowledge that every group of people contains an amazing amount of variety. And that not sitting in a classroom every day for twelve years in a row probably does make you pretty different. But maybe...in a good way?

Fiasco Against the Machine

In response to our friends at ICantBeFamous.com
Sadly, Lupe's mainstream crossover will succeed mainly because anything promoted at a certain level will; e.g. Rebecca Black. On top of that he is actually talented, so the flash-in-the-pan pitfalls should be beyond his team's concerns. Additionally, he has a legion of fans who essentially have liitle-to-no other choice; not a lot of emcees of his caliber for this generation. So though Atlantic Records is bafflingly horrible at business; Lasers will not usher in a new movement of commercial appeal AND talent. Atlantic's turn at the helm did not fail. In fact, even if it had tanked, the label would blame Lupe. Fortunately for them, short of complete career suicide, nothing he did on/after this release would have caused its demise. Evident in the fact that he, hereto, has been highly antagonistic of the album and the process through which it came to be, yet Lasers continues to succeed.
The opposition makes sense though Read more
Mos Def signed with G.O.O.D. Music?!

Filed under Music
A record number of people were gathered in D.C. and burst into exaltations of joy and merriment to welcome… oops wrong awesome moment.
Okay, I think we are all familiar with G.O.O.D. Music… now add Mos Def!!
I'll give you a minute to collect the pieces of your cranium and recompose yourself because, like mine, your head might have just exploded. Take a few seconds to look for gray matter.
If you don't know why you should be hopeful for the future of music consider the following. The three current stars of G.O.O.D. Music are Common, Kanye West and John Legend.
We would like to thank a YouTube patron fond of reflection for the following phrase that sums up the signing:

The Make-up Myth: The Gentleman's Thoughts
October 28, 2010 by The Gentleman
Filed under Dating & Relationships
Recently a female friend asked us:
"Why do guys always approach her when she's not looking so hot, but when she's all dolled up and on point, none of the fine guys step to her, only the C-team."
Here's what The Gentleman had to say about it:
"It's deep how you can be so shallow." © Cee-Lo Green
Attention ladies:
You are not wearing make-up for guys. You are wearing make-up for yourself. Beyond that, you are wearing make-up for other girls. Now hopefully for many of you this is no shock, but some of you are perplexed. You can't understand why men you might be interested in approach you when you aren't wearing make-up as opposed to the subpar suitors that throw out pick-up lines when you are.
Think about that. Introspect the very reason you prepare yourself the way you do. Then break down your experiences of make-up vs no make-up again. We'll come back to it.
We See You
For starters, make-up isn't as magical as you think it is. In fact, it's not fooling anybody of anything. We see you. You're not "vanishing", "masking", "contouring", "revitalizing", "concealing" anything. WE SEE YOU. It's almost insulting to act as if we can't tell what you look like without makeup. It's the equivalent of hiding behind your hands and breathily saying "I disappeared. Where did I go?!". We might have been fooled when we were younger, but now… nope. Not only that, some of us have dated enough that we could give you some pointers.
Example: Properly applied lip gloss trumps any lipstick, any day for any desired look/effect/whatever for any desired bachelor/target etc. That's a freebie. Enjoy.
Do you disagree? Do you think this is just one guy's opinion. Well, if you don't believe me, do a study. Ask the next guys you are attracted to and guys you aren't attracted to which they prefer "lip gloss or lipstick". Side note: I hope you know that as a female you can approach ANY dude at ANY time. In fact, guys LOVE it. So next time you are out, day or night, approach the most attractive person that you can find and say "I'm trying to settle a disagreement" and ask his preferences. Then get his name and number. If necessary, claim that it's just in case you have to verify the preference for the opposing party in the wager.
Wave Your Flag
Every sensible/respectable guy can see trouble coming from a mile away. Make-up is like a warning flag; a flag literally written on your face. Thus to those who habitually wear it, thank you. You are telling us most of what we need to know without even talking to you. Well, some of us anyway.
It seems the quantity of make-up is usually directly proportionate to the issues of the wearer. The first and most obvious being self-image. Either she is insecure about her looks or too absorbed in her looks. Either way, it's a bit too superficial; which is a shame because a number of you look better with a little moisturizer and some chapstick. You don't landscape a beach. If you're pretty, you're pretty.
Personally, I've tried to be open-minded about this but the results follow a trend. Every time I've dated someone whom I've discovered wore a lot or make-up (meaning I approached her with little-to-no make-up and only discovered her cosmetic consumerism later) there were other issues that basically made "us" difficult. Makes sense though, some things in life just take a certain type of person. The person who can spend ten or more minutes doing their make-up… well…
Birds of a Feather
Similarly, it should be no surprise then that when wearing make-up you are approached by certain types as well. So, again, think about it. If you don't like the guys that approach you when you are wearing make-up, then what is your make-up saying about you? Or what you want?
Example: If you make yourself look like a Barbie doll, of course cats are going to toy with you.
I'll give you a cop out though, maybe you just applied it wrong. That way you can keep on wearing the warning flag and continue to let the rest of us know what we're getting into.
It's like National Geographic: "The female wards off desirable males with particular markings on her visage unaware of the signals she is sending."
Meanwhile the girl with less make-up seems to have other priorities. Maybe she values other things about herself more than her appearance. Maybe she is just driven to focus on other aspects of her life. Maybe she's laid-back and doesn't care how others see her. Maybe she's just that confident about her self-image that she feels she can rock the no make-up look. I wonder what she does with all the time and money she saves. All of these things I don't know because I don't get to judge this book by it's cover. Gasp, I would have to talk to her to find out who she is AND/OR confirm my suspicions.
Now you may try to say that guys are intimidated by a woman who looks like she's got it going on. That may be true. But in case it isn't true, I hope you know the woman wearing the make-up is not the one who seems to have it together; it's the other woman. She seems more confident, plus I can't tell everything I need to know by looking at her. Hence why she gets approached. And why, when you aren't wearing make-up, you get approached.
Most of the guys you would want to approach you aren't fans of make-up. You know the types. The men who don't play games. They have magnetic charisma, nice job, values, fun, etc. Those guys, they aren't fans. Granted, if you are going somewhere extremely formal and/or important, it is understandable that maybe you want to even out your skin tone and accent this or that feature. Acknowledge the event. Hell, sometimes you just want to look nice to make yourself feel good. But seriously, calm down. Oh, and why would you want a guy who is less attracted to you without your make-up? Multiple faults there.
Lastly, when you don't wear make up you are also more accessible. No lipstick, guys can kiss you without coming away wearing lipstick or tasting it. No make-up, we can hold you close and not get make up on our clothes. Essentially, if we don't think you need to wear make-up, we definitely don't want to wear it ourselves. Besides, you are beautiful, are you not? We think so. Especially when we get to see the real you. The you that we would ideally want to get to know, wake up next to, commit to. The real you. Why would you want to hide that from us?
Less is more.

Dear Rappers,

What are YOU looking at?!
You have twenty-six minutes left to get to your destination and, of course, there is traffic. One accident you accounted for, no problem. That second accident less than a mile up the same stretch of road, however, is the perfect situational "screw you" requisite for reassessing your good deeds over the last week. As you near the flashing lights you discover the bane of many motorist's life; the accident isn't even on your side of the road. On top of that, there is a barrier between your side and that side. Meaning at 75mph you still present no threat to the parties in said accident save maybe a strong gust of wind and one of the coolest effects in the aural realm (eeeeyyurrrrmmm). Keep it moving!

Sister/Sis… Mister?

"Tell me is there any more room for me in those dominant genes?!"
You are dating someone and she tells you that she has siblings. Okay. Eventually she shows you pictures of them. Cool. One day you finally meet them and you get along great with them. Whew. Meet-and-greet nearly accomplished, everything is dandy until your date turns a certain way and now you notice something. She looks just like her brother. A resemblance -no matter how much you try to deny it- you see more than ever before.
Oh no. There is no 'reset' button either. You can't remove the dots once the connection is made. They're almost twins now! Oh, yeah, others might say they don't really see it, good for them. But they aren't you; you can't ignore it. And it will probably become most poignant at the worst possible times too. In fact, the only thing that can top the 'sister-mister' is a father-daughter resemblance.
So what do you do? Also, is this an issue? What about when the genders are reversed?

if it's 11:30pm and your kids are in the middle of the city streets unchaperoned howling (hopefully at the moon, if nothing else), you might be f*cking up.
Everyday, advocates for a license to have kids seem less and less crazy. Do you think a bill would pass for a license to have more than one child? Imagine the posters in support. "Kids: the first one's a gimme."

Is Your Workstation Set-up Causing Neck and Shoulder Pain
Check Your Set Up
The set-up of your workstation may be the root of your neck and shoulder discomfort. If your workstation does not allow for these simple keys to an ergonomic supporting workstation, make the changes needed today.
- If the height of your desk doesn't match the height at which you are sitting, you are probably raising your shoulders constantly as you work. As desk that is too high will cause you to raise your shoulders to prop on the desk. This results in strain and pain. Also a desk that is too low can have you stretching and reaching and constantly looking down as you work, resulting once again in shoulder and neck pain.
- Your monitor position should be exactly at eye level. This will keep you from continually looking up or down causing unnecessary stress on your neck and shoulders. If you need to raise your monitor to reach the proper height, a monitor stand is a great solution.
- Your head and neck staying in line with your body can help eliminate the neck and shoulder pain you are feeling. The right office chair will give you the support you need to keep your back in the right positions to help support the best posture for your upper body.
Awkward positions can cause stress on your neck, shoulders, and spine. Choosing the right workstation and equipment will help eliminate the chance of lasting neck and shoulder pain.

Monument de l'aide humanitaire canadienne) is one 2001 in the Canadian capital Ottawa (Ontario) inaugurated monument in honours of development and structure aids from Canada, which died abroad during their employments. It is world-wide at present singular in this form and dedication.
In the year 1996 briefly successively coworkers were abroad killed by two different Canadian organizations with auxiliary missions.

Several sources note that domestic violence in Grenada remains a serious problem (GNOW 26 Oct. 2011; US 8 Apr. 2011, Sec. 6; Grenada 31 Mar. 2011). The International Service for Human Rights (ISHR), an international, non-governmental organization that supports and facilitates the United Nations human rights system, reports that member states raised concerns about domestic violence in Grenada during its 2010 universal periodic review (ISHR 25 Aug. 2010). Similarly, Freedom House observes that domestic violence is "common" and that it is underreported (21 June 2011). Media reports that on average, hotlines for domestic violence managed by women's rights organizations receive 2 calls per week, while those operated by the government of Grenada receive around 12 calls per week (West Orlando News and Carib World News 4 Mar. 2009).
Sources note the need for measures to address sexual violence (ISHR 25 Aug. 2010; UN 2010) and sexual harassment in the country (ibid.). In its proposal to obtain funds from the 15th Cycle of the United Nations (UN) Trust Fund Grantees, a program that supports local and national initiatives to end violence against women and girls (UN n.d.a), the Grenadian Ministry of Social Affairs indicated that "pervasive" sexual violence against women and girls in Grenada is "underpinned by widespread sexual harassment" (ibid. 2010). The United States (US) Department of State notes that even though sexual harassment is prohibited by law, there are no established criminal penalties (US 8 Apr. 2011, Sec. 6).
In telephone interview with the Research Directorate, a case worker at the Legal Aid and Counselling Clinic (LACC), a non-governmental organization (NGO) that provides legal services, counselling and public education and advocacy in Grenada (CSI n.d), indicated that many of the women who are victims of domestic violence do not seek help because they are economically dependent on the perpetrators (LACC 21 Oct. 2011). High rates of unemployment are common among women in Grenada (UN 14 May 2010, para. 3.2.2), and their access to health and social services prove to be "restrict[ive]" (ibid., para. 3.2.4). The above was corroborated by an administrative officer at the Grenada National Organisation of Women (GNOW), who explained, in correspondence with the Research Directorate, that due to unemployment, women are unable to provide for their children, thus remaining in a context of financial dependency and domestic violence (GNOW 26 Oct. 2011). GNOW is an umbrella NGO for women in Grenada (The Caribbean NGO Database n.d.).
With regard to discrimination, the UN Committee on the Elimination of Discrimination Against Women indicated that the socio-economic status of a woman in Grenadian society "either caused or compounded experiences of discrimination," where the "poorer" the woman, the more vulnerable to discrimination and the least empowered to "stand for her rights" (UN 14 May 2010, para. 3.3).
On 29 October 2010, the Grenadian House of Representatives approved the Domestic Violence Act of 2010 (Grenada 1 Nov. 2010). The Act was implemented on 16 May 2011 alongside the Domestic Violence and Sexual Assault protocol, and, according to the government of Grenada, includes "stronger tools" for law enforcement officials, increased penalties for both first-time and repeating offenders, greater protection for victims, and provisions for granting protection orders (Grenada 19 Apr. 2011). The Act also includes harassment and damage against property in the definition of "abuse" (US 8 Apr. 2011, Sec. 6). The Protocol includes provisions for "strengthening" the response from the health and social sector, the judiciary and the police (Grenada 19 Apr. 2011).
The administrative officer at GNOW indicated that this new Act does not replace the previous Act of 2001; instead, it works "in conjunction with the Criminal Code," since it is also for civil matters (GNOW 27 Oct. 2011a).
State Programs and Protection
In 2003, the Ministry of Social Development created the Domestic Violence Unit "to address the increasing incidence of domestic violence" in the country (Grenada 26 Oct. 2010). According to the Ministry's website, the Domestic Violence Unit runs the following programs:
- Public awareness: production of audiovisual and other promotional material to sensitize the public;
- Education and training: consisting of workshops for police officers on how to respond to domestic violence situations;
- Community outreach: dissemination of booklets and pamphlets providing information on domestic violence;
- Counselling: assistance to victims of domestic violence;
- Relationship building: to ensure the Domestic Violence Unit is meeting the needs of the community; and
- Information and education materials: print materials on domestic violence to inform victims and stakeholders (ibid.).
Furthermore, the administrative officer at GNOW explained that the Domestic Violence Unit also runs the Shelter for Battered Women, the only shelter on the island, where victims and their young children are placed for up to six months, though in some cases the period has been longer (GNOW 26 Oct. 2011). The shelter is located in the northern part of the island and can house 18 women (US 8 Apr. 2011, Sec. 6). For women not placed in the shelter, the LACC offers a program called "Changes" to "assist women to regain their self esteem" and teach them to identify signs of domestic violence (GNOW 26 Oct. 2011). For perpetrators, Grenada has established the program "Man-to-Man" to provide counselling assistance for 15 weeks (LACC 27 Oct. 2011). The court handling a domestic violence case can order perpetrators to attend this program (ibid.).
Sources indicate that the State of Grenada has been training, in cooperation with UN Women, its police force in the area of domestic violence (GNOW 26 Oct. 2011; Grenada 31 Mar. 2011). The training is also provided by the Police Department of the City of Ottawa, Canada, and the Association of Caribbean Commissioners of Police (Grenada 31 Mar. 2011). The training focuses on "sexual and intimate partner assault, legal issues around domestic violence, the judicial response, victim support and domestic violence investigation procedures" (ibid.). The US Department of State indicates that generally, police and judicial authorities have acted promptly in cases of domestic violence (US 8 Apr. 2011, Sec. 6).
According to the administrative officer at GNOW, women who are victims of domestic violence can go to GNOW, the LACC or the Domestic Violence Unit (GNOW 26 Oct. 2011). These three organizations work in collaboration with the Domestic Violence Desk at the Royal Grenada Police Force to proceed to intervention (ibid.). The administrative officer noted that the LACC has lawyers to assist victims in obtaining restraining orders against perpetrators in a "timely manner" (ibid.).
However, the administrative officer also indicated the following: a "great number" of cases of domestic violence go unreported because victims are "threatened and fear for their lives" (ibid.). Some women are "not sure what to do" in situations of abuse (ibid.). In some cases, victims prefer not to press charges against the perpetrator; and even when a protection or restraining order is obtained, some perpetrators "never" make a court appearance (ibid.). The administrative officer noted that there have been cases of victims who were raped by perpetrators after the issuance of restraining or protection orders (ibid.). In these cases, victims who suffer "constant harassment" by their partner resort to migration" to save their lives"(ibid.). "A number of women have lost their lives because of domestic violence" (ibid.).
In a follow-up telephone interview, the administrative officer indicated that the country is very small and perpetrators are likely to find their victims should they decide to relocate on the island (GNOW 27 Oct. 2011b). According to the CIA World FactBook on Grenada, the island measures 344 square kilometres and has an estimated population of 108,419 people as of July 2011 (US 27 Sept. 2011).

Crate Research & Application Project
The Crate Application and Research Project was set up to promote crates in today's society. Modern attitudes to the crate have become somewhat jilted, especially since the sexual revolution of The Sixties. The Great British Red Crate used to be held in huge esteem by men and women from all classes. For instance, in the mid-Forties in Cheshunt, Hampshire, a crate was voted into the Office of Mayor for nearly three years running until meeting which a tragic accident involving a blowtorch. In 1951 the people of Bradninch, Devon, saw the first crate to be made a head schoolteacher.
As well as the afore-mentioned emminent crates, many crates found uses in other walks of life and were a huge part of every person's day to day routine. These pages were written to demonstrate the fantastic versatility of the humble crate, and to show how in these modern times, the crate is as important as it ever was. The following is a list of just some of today's applications of crates from a huge list held at our headquarters. Pick one and see for yourself...

Excessive intake of alcohol, we all know, kills brain cells, but naturally it attacks the slowest and weakest brain cells first. In this way regular consumption of beer eliminates the weaker brain cells, making the brain a faster and more efficient machine. That's why you always feel smarter after a few beers.

Georgia Fall Invitational Results
ATHENS, GA - Behind several outstanding swims - including three relay victories and individual wins by junior Tom Shields, junior Trevor Hoyt, senior Nolan Koon and freshman Tyler Messerschmidt - the 2011-12 California men's swimming team placed second at the Dec. 2-4 Georgia Fall Invitational at Gabrielsen Natatorium in Athens, Ga. The Golden Bears, last year's NCAA team champions, showed they are a force in collegiate swimming again this year by placing second with 812 points, trailing only Auburn's 899 points.
Behind the performances of freshman Messerschmidt, sophomore Shayne Fleming, freshman Fabio Gimondi and junior Dana Foster, Cal placed first in the 200 free relay with a time of 1:18.28. Other relay victories for the Bears included the 800 free relay (6:26.30, Shields, sophomore Sam Metz, junior Ben Hinshaw, freshman Will Hamilton) and the 200 medley relay (1:26.23, sophomore Marcin Tarczynski, senior Martin Liivamagi, Shields, Gimondi).
Individually, Shields dominated the meet by winning the 100 back (46.53), 100 fly (45.67) and 200 fly (1:43.09). His 45.67 time in the 100 fly automatically qualifies him into the 2012 NCAA championships. Shields had captured the NCAA 100 fly title as a freshman in 2010. Hoyt was the Georgia Fall Invitational champion in the 200 breast with a mark of 1:55.24, while Koon won the 100 breast in a time of 52.75. Koon, a two-time Pac-10 champion in the 200 breast and the 2011 NCAA runner-up in the 100 breast, became a 2012 NCAA automatic qualifier in the 100 breast with his 52.75.
Newcomer Messerschmidt from Phoenix, Ariz., won the 100 free with a time of 43.39 to go along with his lead-off leg of the Bears' victorious 200 free relay.
Other highlights for Cal at the Georgia Fall Invitational included the Bears placing second in the 400 free (2:57.52, Hamilton, senior Mathias Gydesen, Ben Hinshaw, freshman Seth Stubblefield) and 400 medley relay (3:12.63, senior Chris Rogers, senior Martin Liivamagi, Messerschmidt, Fleming). Koon was the runner-up in the 200 breast (1:56.18) behind Hoyt, and freshman Will Hamilton only trailed Shields in the 200 fly with a time of 1:45.82.
The Bears, lead by two-time Pac-10 and NCAA Coach of the Year David Durden, will next compete in Pac-12 dual meet competition, Friday, Jan. 20 versus Arizona (1 p.m.) and Saturday, Jan. 21 (12 p.m.) versus Arizona State at Spieker Aquatics Complex.

I hate to make a request on my first day but lord I need saving... I'm starting a hard-si-fi campaign. unfortunately the guys i play with wanted us to start 4e with some of our other friends so I stopped working on the si-fi campaign. then friday they decided they would rather do the si-fi... bastards, lol. so i'm sure I can get the story and every thing put together in time (enough for this week anyway) but I'm stuck for map/floorplans.
they will be on a planetary colony made from "building block" units. so I need floor plans for the following modules- habitation, communal, science (large and small), as well as a space elevator(top and bottom). it doesn't need to be professional quality but something nice enough to use in multiple campaigns would be preferable. we won't be using miniatures so size isn't to important. though it would be nice if it were formatted to be easily printable.
as for copy rights, I only want the right to use it for my own campaigns. you keep any other rights.
oh, unfortunately i don't have any funds free at this time or i would be happy to give you a bit.
oh, and the game starts tonight at 7:30-8:00 mountain time (gmt-7)
no hard feelings if i'm asking to much

You knew the Flyers were headed for the Pittsburgh Penguins in the playoffs.
And its gonna happen.
Matt Reads goal late in the third period broke a 1-1 tie at Wells Fargo Center on Thursday night as the Flyers defeated the Buffalo Sabres, 2-1.
Coupled with Pittsburghs victory over the New York Rangers, this cements the Pens as the 4th seed in the Eastern Conference with the Flyers finishing 5th.
Game 1 of the Pens-Flyers quarterfinal series is tentatively set for Wednesday, April 11 in Pittsburgh.
Read took a brilliant stretch pass from Jakub Voracek up the left boards and maneuvered quickly Sabres defenseman Robyn Regehr for a free pass on goalie Ryan Miller.
It was Reads 24th goal of the season tops among all NHL rookies.
Buffalo had the slimmest of leads 1-0 until the 6:05 mark of that final period when Andreas Lilja gave Marc-Andre Bourdon a pass in the right circle.
The rookie defenseman wound and nailed a hard slapper past Miller for his fourth goal as a Flyer.
For all the talk by both the Flyers players themselves and coach Peter Laviolette about coming out with some jam in the first period ... well, it was as if the Flyers were on a sleep aid.
They looked more or less lethargic. Truth is, the Sabres, who were supposed to be fighting for their playoff lives werent much better with just three shots.
The Flyers had one power play in the period and got just one shot on Miller.
It wasnt until the periods final minutes that someone grabbed the Flyers attention when Cody Hodgson roughed up Claude Giroux, incensing the entire line on the ice, including mild-mannered Jaromir Jagr.
The Flyers had nine shots, but their best scoring chance came shorthanded in the final 2:05 as Miller broke up his breakaway.
Miller, incidentally, is the main reason why the Sabres were even in a position to challenge for a playoff berth in the second half of the season.
Coming into play, since the All-Star Game, he was 19-5-5 and 8-2-2 in his last 12 starts.
Jody Shelley, playing in just his ninth game since February began, led the Flyers near the end of the second period with three shots.
One of those was his own rebound on Miller early in the period that slid across the goal crease and nearly went into the net for his first goal of the season.
It didnt because Sabres defenseman Andrej Sekera cleared it on the line. That line with Shelley, Eric Wellwood and Zac Rinaldo had two scoring chances.
Right after them, Brayden Schenn shot wide of an open net too.
Leave the Sabres to hang around and they will burn you.
And they did. Ex-Flyer Ville Leino scored at 17:26 on a crease rebound on Ilya Bryzgalov amid boos from the crowd.
And just like that, the possibility of the Flyers dropping to sixth and meeting the Florida Panthers became a reality.
(more coming...)

3 Comments | Copyright: IANS
Actress Sonakshi Sinha, who made her big Bollywood debut opposite Salman Khan in "Dabangg", says she is thankful to the star for his constant support and constructive criticism.
"Whenever Salman criticizes me, he does it in a very positive way. Because of him only I lost so much of weight. I am an actress because of him and he is very happy about it. Whatever he says, I take it in a very positive spirit," Sonakshi told IANS.
Sonakshi was over 80 kgs before she joined the industry, and worked hard to get into shape to get into filmdom. Recently, a lot has been commented regarding her weight issues, but she says it doesn't make a difference.
"It doesn't affect me. I think I read about it, I see it on TV, I sit and I just laugh, because tomorrow my film will become a hit and people will shut up," Sonakshi said.
So far, Sonakshi has donned a desi look in all her films - "Dabangg", "Rowdy Rathore", "Joker" and "Son f Sardaar". But she says in "Bullet Raja", she sports a fusion look.
"In 'Bullet Raja', my look will be a western fusion kind. It has been a coincidence that so far that my look has been Indian, but I am really not complaining because all these films have done good business and been appreciated a lot. If in future, some different look suits my character, then I will do that," she added.
The 25-year-old has got a good taste of success within two years of being in the industry, but she says nothing has changed in her personal life.
"Nothing has changed so far in my life - neither in my family nor outside. Even today if I get up late, my mom gets angry. Personally, nothing has changed and I am happy about it. After achieving success so soon, many people could get spoilt, but thanks to my friends and family, they have kept me so grounded," said the daughter of veteran actor Shatrughan Sinha.
As of now, she is busy promoting "Dabangg 2", directed by Arbaaz Khan. It will hit the screens Dec 21.

The international hit K-drama My Love From the Stars launched a number of trends and worldwide obsessions, from actress Jun Ji-hyun's lipstick (the mere rumor that her coral-pink color came from YSL caused a worldwide shortage of the shade) to anything from Korean brand Iope, which was prominently displayed in the star's boudoir on the show. Apparently, you can't find Iope's top seller, Bio Essence, in duty free stores at Korean airports because of all the Chinese tourists who are buying the hydrating liquid by the boxful. (And at $60 a pop, it ain't cheap.)
Iope Bio Essence is a part of that step in any respectable Asian skincare regimen that includes what is called "lotion," "skin lotion" or, to some old-school Koreans, simply "skin" — a water-like solution for the face used after cleansing.
It's different from the toner that we here in the States may have grown up with — that harsh, alcohol-based liquid we swept over skin with a cotton ball to wipe off any residual makeup that our cleanser may have missed. (In Asia, a double cleansing method — makeup remover and then cleanser — does away with the need for a post-rinse "toner.") Rather, "lotion" is a post-cleansing hydrator, usually applied by sprinkling into hands and pressing the palms over the face to ensure proper penetration. It's a step that "provides hydration to the skin that might be stripped during the cleansing process," says Diane Nakauchi, skincare expert and CEO of Japanese skincare brand Koh Gen Do. Like a vitamin drink, skin lotion usually has "humectant properties to help hold in moisture," she adds, imparting a translucency to skin.
Today, Asian skincare companies are bringing these post-cleansing hydrators — whether called "lotion," "water" or even "toner" — to American consumers, and American skincare companies are quickly jumping on board. And these newest iterations of lotions go beyond just hydrating — some balance skin's pH levels; others refine and exfoliate. But perhaps the best reason to add lotions to your skincare regimen is what they all do: prep skin so that subsequent treatments can more effectively penetrate skin's top layer. The result? All those expensive serums and creams work more effectively with less.
If you're located near Los Angeles, there are plenty of Korean beauty boutiques in Koreatown that have Iope Bio Essence in stock. But you don't have to fly to Korea or Los Angeles to get a hydrating lotion onto your bathroom shelf. Asian skincare companies available in the States already have a hydrating lotion in their line, and recognizing the brilliance of Asian skincare products, a number of non-Asian companies are coming out with their own versions. With a broad price range, these lotions are something everyone can get on board with. Check out some of our favorites:
Koh Gen Do Oriental Plants Lotion II: A botanical-based gel-liquid with time-release moisturizing agents from the skincare line used on major Hollywood sets from Dallas Buyers Club and American Hustle to Glee.
Clinique Even Better Essence Lotion: The line's first "watery lotion" — inspired by its Asian consumers — hydrates with its breakthrough NMF Complex to increase the production of the essential building blocks of skin's natural moisturizing factors.
SK-II Facial Treatment Essence: The prestige Japanese line's cult favorite product contains more than 90 percent Pitera, their signature skin refining ingredient that boosts the skin's natural surface rejuvenation process.
Laneige Power Essential Skin Toner: The popular Korean brand, known for its scientifically engineered Optimal Mineral Water in their skin refining toner, as well as the rest of their Water Bank line, is finally available to the American masses at mega retailer Target.
Sulwhasoo Snowise EX Balancing Water: A gel-like water with white ginseng and mulberry root extract to brighten, exfoliate and balance skin's pH levels.

Arturo Gatti Death: Wife To Be Charged With Premeditated MurderSassy Smith
Amanda Rodrigues, wife of slain Montreal boxer, Arturo Gatti, will reportedly be charged with premediated murder. Police officials have said Rodriques' story of what happened had many inconsistencies and she is the number one suspect in Gatti's death.
From Boxingscene.com:
According to Rodrigues, she woke up on the morning of July 11 and claimed to have found Gatti with damage to the back of his head and strangle marks on his neck.
When police arrived on the scene, a bloody purse strap was discovered in the room. As BoxingScene.com reported on Saturday, officials believe that Gatti was strangled to death with the purse strap. Police officials held a press conference with Brazilian media and they believe the wife strangled Gatti to death when he passed out from being drunk.
Based on the information pieced together by police, the couple went to dinner on Friday night. They later went to bar and left on foot. Witnesses told police that the couple had an argument on the street after leaving the bar and Gatti pushed his wife to the ground. It was said that she suffered minor injuries to her chin and left elbow. Gatti, with their one-year-old, caught a taxi back to their room. The wife returned later on. Gatti was drunk as the couple had been drinking beer and wine for most of the night.
Police believe that Gatti was passed out from being drunk and his wife stabbed him to the back of the head with a kitchen knife, although the wound was not significant enough to kill him. He was then strangled to death with the purse strap while he was laying down.
The wife is being held by police. She has not confessed to the crime and tried to blame a third party for the murder. Police say the possibility of a third party gaining access to the room is nearly impossible.
"It is humanly impossible, because access to the room is done only with a magnetic card. The apartment is on the second floor, and only has one window, and it would be necessary to climb in order to come in," said one police official who is familiar with the investigation.
Police expect to have expert reports ready in about two weeks. Gatti's relatives have arrived in the country to claim his body.
What would Amanda's motive be? Of course, when a murder occurs and the spouse is the one accused, it could be a number of things… money, sex, abuse, cheating, just to name a few. I just never understand, how one parent can take the life of their co-parent (whether they are together or not)… do they not think of their child? So, their precious son is now fatherless, and if Amanda Rodriquez is guilty of this crime, that boy will be motherless. What a shame.

The Chicago White Sox have a lot of talent, but they're struggling at the moment. You never know when manager Ozzie Guillen is going to be a mad genius, or just a madman. And they just fell in three terrible-looking games at Yankee Stadium II.
That is, the games were terrible -- unless you're a Yankee Fan. As I am.
Friday night, Robinson Cano hits a walkoff home run. Very good. Saturday afternoon, Sergie Mitre and Chad Gaudin combine on a one-hitter, and the bats do their job, 10-0. Very good. Sunday afternoon, a tight 3-2 game becomes an 8-2 game in the 7th, including Mark "the Eyes" Teixeira channeling his inner Maurice Richard (ever see a picture of the Rocket -- and I don't mean Roger Clemens -- with the puck? Scary guy) "sending a Teix message" as John Sterling would say, on the way to an 8-3 win. Wiping out the White Sox. Sweeping the ChiSox. Pounding the Pale Hose.
I have no hatred for the White variety of Sox, but as Tim Robbins (sadly, a Met fan) would say, "I love winnin', man, I fuckin' love winnin'. Ya hear what I'm sayin'? It's, like, better than losin'!"
But one thing bothers me a great deal about yesterday's game. Joba Chamberlain was scheduled to start, and for three innings he was fine. But, once again, "The Joba Rules" were changed in order to baby him -- I mean, protect him, and Joe Girardi took him out. His idea? Someone else's? Does it matter?
I'm thisclose to saying the Yankees should get rid of Joba. Not because he can't get the job done, but because they won't let him get the job done. What good is a starting pitcher if you're only going to throw him for three innings? What kind of strategy is that?
Even Billy Martin never tried a stunt like that! Putting a pitcher 7th in the batting order as a DH? Check (1988 -- I was there, and it worked, Rick Rhoden hit a sac fly in a Yank win over Baltimore). A good-fielding pitcher as an emergency outfielder? Check (Ron Guidry in the pine-tar replay in '83 -- I wasn't there for that one). Best home-run hitter of the era on the bench until a righthanded reliever comes in and then send him in as a pinch-hitter? Check ('77 Pennant-clincher in Kansas City, Billy didn't want to risk Reggie against lefty Paul Splittorff, but Reggie hit an RBI single off Doug Bird).
It was Lou Piniella rather than Billy who put Don Mattingly in at third base in an injury-caused emergency in Seattle in '86 -- and, unlike the Yankees when Curt Schilling had that ankle injury in the '04 ALCS, the Mariners bunted on Mattingly! And it didn't work: I was watching it on TV, and he spun around and fielded it just fine. Let's see Keith Hernandez, also a lefty thrower, try THAT! (And the Yanks came from 12-5 down to win the thing, 13-12! Late night.)
But this... Joba only pitches three innings? For what? Saving his arm? Isn't that like giving a car a "jackrabbit start"? It's one thing if he gets knocked out of the box, but he was pitching fine!
Yankee management -- and I mean the Steinbrenner sons, Gene Michael, Brian Cashman and whoever else makes these decisions -- has got to decide what to do with Joba. Either make him a real starter, and ask him to throw 6 to 9 innings every start, never mind how many pitches or innings he throws, just do the best you can on that day; or make him a reliever; or trade him to someone who thinks he can help them and get someone useful in return. But pick one method of using him and stick with it, so he (and everyone else) knows what the role will be.
Because, right now, the Yankees are messing up a very talented but very emotional kid who could still turn out to be one of the defining pitchers of the 2010s. Either use him as a real starter, or use him as a reliever, or get rid of him! Fish or cut bait! Maybe some other team will do him some good, but, right now, the Yankees are doing him no favors!
That's my "Joba Rules": Pick one set of rules and stick with it!

India's growth work in progress, says PM
Apr 30 2014 , New Delhi
Planning commission deputy chairman Montek Singh Ahluwalia on Wednesday admitted that growth had been below target, but said any revision of the 8 per cent growth target for the 2012-17 period would be taken up by the new planning commission.
"We indicated what has happened (to the economy) in the first few years. Growth has been below target. We have taken a number of steps to rejuvenate the economy this year," Ahluwalia said.
He said everybody expects the economy to do better this year but it would depend on the policies pursued by the new government.
India is targeting eight per cent average annual growth during the 12th plan period that runs till 2017. In the first two years, the economy expanded 4.5 per cent in 2012-13 and 4.9 per cent in 2013-14. Growth projections for this financial year stand at 5.5 per cent. Even if growth picks up to 7 or 8 per cent in the subsequent two years, it would be difficult to push the five-yearly average above 6 per cent.
A mid-term appraisal of the situation is due and will likely be done by the new planning commission around October. The plan panel gets shuffled with every new government.
After the last meeting of the full planning commission chaired by outgoing prime minister Manmohan Singh, Ahluwalia on Wednesday said he would soon ready an assessment of the economy by collating inputs provided by the commission members and send it to the prime minister.
Ahluwalia said his assessment might indicate some critical policy actions required to be taken by the new government to boost sagging growth and that he would leave a copy for his successor.
He refused to share his policy prescriptions for the new government. "I will be giving my views and whosoever is in power post-election can look at it."
In his farewell speech to the commission, the prime minister called India's growth story a 'work in progress'. "India's development story is a work in progress... But there is a lot of distance that is still to be covered," he said.
He wanted the plan panel to reflect on what role it should play in a new world, "where the economy is increasingly open, liberalised and globalised" and to ponder if it was still using tools and approaches that were designed for a different era.
Ahluwalia retorted, saying, "To say we are simply doing the same thing is not correct. We have introduced new tools and the commission has responded quickly to changing situations in the economy in the recent years."
He said the commission was now doing several things that were never done before and was working differently from the past in 17 areas. "Whether it has made a difference is for the people to judge."
Ahluwalia said the commission has begun the exercise for mid-term appraisal in January, but it can be finalised only after the full budget is presented to Parliament by the new government in July. He hoped the mid-term appraisal is not "interrupted or delayed" because of the elections.
The PM said there was a strong case for restructuring centrally-sponsored chemes to eliminate or minimise central government's role in micro-managing them. The state governments have long been asking the centre to let them manage those.

Marvel President Kevin Feige Updates On Last Week's Additional Filming For The Avengers
By Eric Eisenberg 2012-04-19 18:51:28 comments
Exactly one week ago today I was sitting in the Four Seasons Hotel in Los Angeles attending the press day for Marvel's The Avengers. And the end of a press conference featuring Robert Downey Jr., Chris Evans, Chris Hemsworth, Mark Ruffalo, Samuel L. Jackson, and Kevin Feige, just as the talent was about ready to leave the stage, Downey Jr. leaned into his microphone and announced that they were going to be filming an additional scene that night. The news spread like widefire and everyone began to speculate. Would they be shooting an additional tag for the end of the film? Would it be a hint at what we might see in Iron Man 3? Could it be a scene introducing a new superhero, like Ant-Man or Wasp? Unfortunately it looks like it's nothing even close to that exciting.
Blogomatic 3000 (via Bleeding Cool) spoke with Kevin Feige at the European premiere for The Avengers (known over there as Avengers Assemble) and while the Marvel president did confirm that they did shoot something new for the film last week, it's so tiny that it can't even be considered a scene. "I will tell you this," Feige said. "It was not a scene. It was not a scene. Theres little things. Its been blown out of proportion. Which is fun, I like that things are blown out of proportion. Sometimes theyre true sometimes theyre not." Asked if it would end up changing the current cut of the film, the Marvel exec said, "There is the potential that there will be one little change. People might not even notice it. Its not a big thing."
What's funny about this situation is that if the changes are as small as Feige suggests, the only people that could potentially recognize them are those that were at either the Los Angeles or London premieres. But that's only if he's telling the truth...

The San Diego Archaeological Center has opened the exhibit "Camp Winacka: Digging Into History," which will run through December 2012 at 16666 San Pasqual Valley Road. In 1970, the Girl Scouts purchased a large piece of property in the Cuyamaca Mountains with profits from cookie sales. A survey of the property revealed the presence of bedrock milling stations, indicating that the area was once home to American Indians. An archaeological team from San Diego State University developed the excavation testing plan that allowed Girl Scouts to participate and gain more in-depth knowledge of the area. The exhibit will feature artifacts excavated between 1971 and 1978 as well as entries from some Girl Scouts' excavation notebooks. Visit sandiegoarchaeology.org or call 760-291-0370.
