The Callahan Report: Villeneuve Deserves The Title "Champion"
26 October 1997
Jacques Villeneuve, 1997 F1 World Driving Champion
Jacques Villeneuve raced his way into the history books today. The Williams Renault driver won the Formula One World Driving Championship by virtue of his third place finish in the European Grand Prix at Jerez, Spain. He became the first North American to win the Championship since Mario Andretti accomplished the feat in 1978.
Villeneuve has made a name for himself on and off the track. His racing talents, as well as his "speak my mind" arrogance, have been well documented. Even F1 officials have had clashes with the boisterous Canadian over F1 rule changes for 1998. It was a different Jacques Villeneuve in the cockpit today. It was a mature and compassionate Jacques Villeneuve.
A little more than two years ago, Jacques Villeneuve had the Indianapolis 500 "given" to him. Villeneuve was running second to Scott Goodyear in the 1995 Indy 500 when a late race yellow slowed the field. When the field came back to the green flag with a few laps remaining in the race, Goodyear jumped too early and passed the pace car. Villeneuve commented after that race about Goodyear's misfortune. "I was laughing inside my helmet" Villeneuve said.
Villeneuve came dangerously close to learning what it feels like to be laughed at because of mistakes. During the F1 race weekend at Japan two weeks ago, Villeneuve ignored a yellow flag during a practice session. He was told by F1 that he would be disqualified and not allowed to race in Japan. The Williams team appealed the ruling. Villeneuve was allowed to race and left Japan as the F1 point leader. The rules makers then told the Williams Team that they were still reviewing the Japan incident. They said that Villeneuve could lose the points he won in Japan plus he could be disqualified from the final race at Spain if the appeal was not withdrawn. The Williams team withdrew the appeal and lost the points from the Japan race. The decision gave Michael Schumacher the F1 points lead.
Schumacher came into the European Grand Prix leading the F1 championship by only one point over Villeneuve. All Schumacher needed to do was finish ahead of the Canadian to take the title.
Michael Schumacher
Schumacher led much of the race in Spain. He pulled out a 5-second lead over Villeneuve in the early going. Schumacher had a clear road ahead while Villeneuve was struggling with traffic. It looked as though Schumacher was on his way to his third F1 World Driving Championship. The "laughing" Villeneuve did in 1995 at Indy was about to come back to haunt him. It appeared his mistake at Japan was going to cost him his first F1 title.
Things changed quickly on lap 48 of the 69 lap race. Schumacher and Villeneuve had made their last pit stops. The two were separated by 2.5 seconds on the track. Suddenly, Villeneuve began to close quickly on Schumacher's Ferrari. Schumacher's tires were simply not working as well as his previous two sets. Villeneuve charged along side Schumacher in one of the tight 90 degree corners known as Dry Sack. Knowing he was beat, Schumacher came down on Villeneuve. The two cars touched. When the dust settled, Schumacher found himself stuck in a gravel trap. Villeneuve was the new leader of the race. All he needed to do was finish sixth or better to clinch the championship.
Villeneuve showed maturity and even compassion in the remaining laps of the race. Mika Hakkinen and David Coulthard were closing quickly on Villeneuve. On the last lap, Villeneuve pulled over and gave the lead to Hakkinen who was long overdue for his first F1 victory. The move also allowed Coulthard, Hakkinen's teammate, to pass Villeneuve. The young Canadian crossed the finish line in third place in his championship clinching run.
Villeneuve showed maturity and class in the closing laps of the European Grand Prix. He has always been a tough competitor and one of the world's greatest racing talents. Today he showed the whole package. He showed racing talent, smartness, and compassion. Villeneuve has earned the title "World Driving Champion."

A couple of possible bugs
Hi WPReady,
I've just spotted a couple of possible bugs (using plugin v1.7.62)…
1) I recently changed the name of my /wp-content folder to /content (which makes it a little harder to guess). I did this by renaming the folder itself on the server, and then updating the WP_CONTENT_URL and WP_CONTENT_DIR variables in my wp-config.php file.
Afterwards, my website had this error at the top of every page (outward facing):
Warning: file(/PATH/TO/MY/public_html/wp-content/plugins/statpress-community-formerly-statcomm/def/banips.dat) [function.file]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /PATH/TO/MY/public_html/content/plugins/statpress-community-formerly-statcomm/statcomm.php on line 777
(I've modified the "/PATH/TO/MY" part in the above error for my own privacy)
As you can see, the first path mentioned in the error makes reference to the /wp-content/ folder, which no longer exists. The second path at the end of the error shows the correct folder as /content/.
I opened the statcomm.php file and found three references in there to /wp-content, on lines 774, 775 and 777. There is also another reference on line 960.
I changed the references on 774, 775 & 777 to just /content and then the error message went away, so I seem to have fixed the bug for now. But I think the correct solution is for the plugin to take the true location of the content folder from the WP_CONTENT_DIR variable.
Can you fix this?
2) I also noticed, inside the statpress-community-formerly-statcomm.zip file (the plugin file downloaded from http://downloads.wordpress.org) that there is an extra copy of the plugin folder structure within itself.
So within the /statpress-community-formerly-statcomm folder are all the plugin files and folders – statcomm.php and so on. But there is also another subfolder in there called /1.7.62 and inside there is another copy of all the files and subfolders including statcomm.php. I think this might be a mistaken duplicate? 🙂

Dear Wendy: "Is It Too Soon To Live With My Boyfriend?"
Every summer, my family takes a vacation to our mountain house in upstate New York. We have a dog though who doesn't come along so one or two of us kids stays behind to take care of him for the month that everyone's gone. Last year, I joined my brother for the month, but he recently moved to Florida, leaving me as the only person staying behind. I'm 20, and hoping to finally move out by June (depending on my job though), plus I hate staying at our big home in the middle of nowhere all alone. Our dog is big and used to being able to run around in fields, so it seems cruel to move him into a small apartment with me. My mom suggested having someone stay with me this summer and wait till my family gets home to move out. I'm strongly considering asking my 22-year-old boyfriend of seven months to join me, but there are a few concerns. As of now, we're only seven months into our relationship and I'm not sure I feel comfortable enough to spend a month living with him just yet, especially since we also work together. Also, things are a bit rocky in our relationship, though I'm confident by the summertime things will be much better. Do you think that it's too soon for us to live together, even though it's only for a couple months, or would it be good for us? If I do ask, how should I bring it up to him without making him think that I'm more serious about our relationship than I'm ready to be? — Dog Sitter
Living with a significant other before both of you are ready to shack up is a recipe for disaster. Convenience should never ever be the reason to move in together, ESPECIALLY when the convenience isn't even for your own sake, but for your freakin' mother's sake. What the what? Seriously, your mom is way out of line asking you to postpone your life so you can dog sit the family pet for a month while everyone else is gallivanting around in the mountains upstate. You're 20. You're neither responsible for the family dog, nor obligated to put your life on hold for your parents' summer plans. If they can't take the dog with them to their mountain house — and seriously, why can't they take the dog with them?? — they should either stay home this year, board the dog with other family or friends or a professional dog sitter, or hire someone to house and dog-sit for them while they're away.
I repeat: your question is not about the relationship between you and your boyfriend and your readiness to live together; it's about the relationship between you and your parents and your readiness to step up and tell them it's time for you to live your own life. If you all decide it's mutually beneficial for you to postpone moving out on your own and to stay in the big, scary house for the summer, another family member should stay along with you or your parents should pay someone else — not your boyfriend, but a family friend or someone else you're comfortable living with — to help with the household and dog responsibilities. It's simply not fair to ask you to sacrifice your plans or your relationship to take care of what is rightfully your parents' responsibilities.
I'm a 25-year-old woman and I've been very happily married for two years. My husband is amazing: intelligent, considerate, attractive and hard-working. I love him very much. Also, I just began the process of earning my PhD, and my husband couldn't be more supportive of my educational and professional goals. My problem has to do with one of the men in my PhD program. I'll call him Greg. I just met Greg in August when the semester started. I immediately felt attracted to Greg both sexually and intellectually. Like my husband, Greg is intelligent, kind and physically attractive. I told myself that passing attractions like mine for Greg are normal and that it would fade. But it hasn't. Just last night, five months after I told myself that my little crush would fade away on its own, I had a dream in which I threw myself at Greg and seduced him! I should probably mention that Greg is also happily married with a daughter.
I wish I could just avoid Greg, but it's not that simple. In addition to seeing each other frequently in classes with only six or seven students, we also work together as teaching assistants for the same undergraduate course, which means we have to spend time organizing the materials for the class in addition to teaching the course together. Every time I see Greg or spend time with him, I feel very attracted to him and have even caught myself fantasizing about him during our meetings!
I love my husband dearly and would never want to do anything to hurt him. I have no intentions of acting on my attraction to Greg, but I feel awful about all of the fantasies and dreams I've had during the past five months. Somehow my passing attraction has turned into an obsession and I don't know what to do about it. I haven't told a soul, but I'm starting to wonder if I should try to talk about it with my husband. He's normally super understanding about everything, but I don't know how he'd take this. I don't think Greg has any idea about my feelings, which I think is for the best. I've tried not to show any signs of my attraction to him, and he certainly hasn't sent any signals indicating that he might be attracted to me.
Wendy, what do I do? Should I talk to my husband about this? Should I just keep waiting for my attraction to Greg to disappear on its own? Why am I so obsessively attracted to Greg when I'm happily married to a truly wonderful man? Please help. — Doctoral Disaster
My guess is your PhD program is stressful and your obsession with Greg helps to alleviate some of that stress and spice up what may be tedious classes and mundane activities, like organizing course materials (yawn!). And, honestly, if you have no intention of acting on your fantasy and it isn't affecting your school work or your relationship, what's the big deal? I think your obsession has gotten bigger than you're comfortable with simply because, to you, it's taboo to have fantasies about someone other than your husband. But it's not. It's perfectly normal … especially when the fantasies are about someone you spend so much time with, like Greg.
You don't think your husband has a work crush of his own? Unless he works alone or in an office full of dudes and grannies in orthopedic shoes, he's probably got the hots for a colleague or two. And while that idea may make you feel a bit less guilty about your own work/school crush, it probably isn't the most pleasant of thoughts, is it? Well, that's why your husband isn't telling you about it! Just think how awful you'd feel if your husband confessed to some silly harmless crush, telling you about his hot dreams and fantasies involving her? Unless that kind of thing turns you on, which is totally cool if it does, it probably makes you a little sick to think about. So, why put your husband through that? Keep your crush to yourself. Enjoy the deviation from the tedium of PhD work. Use the hot fantasies to fuel your sex life with your husband. And unless you start feeling like you want to act on your attraction to Greg, relax and give yourself permission to have a crush. But if your obsession really does start to cross the line, pay attention to the advice I gave "Afraid of Slipping Up" as well as her update, and do whatever you can to limit your exposure to Greg (including taking a semester off from school so you aren't in the same cohort anymore). Your marriage — and his! — would be worth the sacrifice.

A summary of trading in key commodities markets overseas:
Global oil prices held steady as dealers digested upbeat manufacturing data in China, and eyed this week's key OPEC meeting, analysts said.
New York's main contract, West Texas Intermediate (WTI) for delivery in January added four US cents to $US92.76 a barrel.
Brent North Sea crude for January slid 14 US cents to stand at $US109.55 a barrel in London midday deals.
Gold and silver fell to their lowest levels in almost five months as investors bet that upbeat manufacturing data points to an unwinding of Federal Reserve stimulus measures.
The Institute for Supply Management's gauge of US manufacturing activity showed the sector unexpectedly accelerated last month - the latest evidence that despite an uneven global economic recovery, the US economy is chugging along at a rate that may continue to limit demand for assets such as precious metals.
The most actively traded gold contract, for February delivery, fell $US28.50, or 2.3 per cent, to settle at $US1,221.90 a troy ounce on the Comex division of the New York Mercantile Exchange, the lowest since July 5.
Silver for March delivery slumped 3.7 per cent to $US19.289 an ounce, the lowest since July 10 and a step further into bear-market territory.
Platinum also retreated to a near-five-month low. The January-delivery contract slid 1.6 per cent to $US1,346.80 a troy ounce on the Nymex, the lowest since July 5.
Copper futures settled at their lowest level in almost two weeks on the London Metal Exchange (LME), weighed by uncertainty over demand for the metal in top buyer China.
LME three-month copper was down 1.1 per cent at $US6,975 a metric ton at the close of open outcry trading. The metal hasn't recorded such a low daily settlement since November 19.
A pair of readings on manufacturing activity in China showed the sector continued to expand in November. The official state gauge, released on Sunday, came in at 51.4 in November, unchanged from the prior month and above the 50 level that separates expansion from contraction.
HSBC's separate gauge came in at 50.8 in November, down slightly from 50.9 in October.
Aluminum closed 0.7 per cent lower at $US1,742 a metric ton after falling earlier Monday to a fresh four-year low of $US1,736.25 a ton.

Korn's "Narcissistic Cannibal"–Fu**ing Awesome or Totally Lame?
Korn have been slightly reinventing themselves over the past year, incorporating a lot of dubstep into their traditional nu-metal sound. In fact, the group plan to release a whole album worth of similar material called The Path of Totality. Korn just unveiled the music video for "Narcissistic Cannibal" which you can watch after the jump.
"Narcissistic Cannibal" is the second single from The Path of Totality and Korn team up with dubstep "it man" Skrillex, who produced their last single "Get Up". The video was filmed on September 27 at the legendary Roxy Theatre in Hollywood. The first 125 fans were able to get in free and be part of the shoot.
The Path of Totality is scheduled to drop in stores December 6. Other dubstep producers that Korn collaborated with include Excision, 12th Planet, Noisia and more. As I've said before, I'm digging the current direction Korn are taking. I can't wait for the new record to come out.
Watch the video for "Narcissistic Cannibal" below and tell us what you think.

R&D efforts are geared toward cost-efficient alternatives to incandescent lamps.
China suppliers of LED bulbs and tubes are rolling out models that can directly replace incandescent lamps. Makers are riding surging demand for diode-based solutions as bans on certain filament bulbs are implemented in more countries.
Aiming for general lighting applications, most companies are designing products to fit lamp holders meant originally for filament counterparts. Suppliers are also modifying structures to enable light distribution similar to that of incandescent units.
New 2W LED bulbs are being marketed as substitutes for 7W incandescents. Recent 6W releases generate light equivalent to that of 35 to 40W filament models.
Xiamen Leedarson Import & Export Co. Ltd is among the enterprises that have come out with diode-based alternatives to incandescent lamps. The company's selection includes variants designed to take the place of G9 halogen bulbs.
To encourage further adoption of LED systems, makers are working to improve heat dissipation, which in turn extends service life and boosts lighting performance. Under this effort, new materials are being explored to replace aluminum in heat sinks.
Xiamen Leedarson is using an LNP Konduit compound from Sabic in its new 2W bulbs. The thermally conductive composite has a lower coefficient of thermal expansion than aluminum, helping reduce stress from differential expansion.
In addition, the material weighs less than the latter and allows greater design flexibility. Complex shapes can be formed via injection molding, which is simpler than the three-step process currently employed for metal versions.
At Firefly Lighting Co. Ltd, efforts to boost lighting performance have yielded a LED candle bulb with a reflector inside. This structure is meant to increase the beam angle of the unit to at least 300 degrees, almost double that of traditional models. Already patented, the product is also designed to offer more energy savings than CFLs and incandescents.
Releases in coming months will target areas where bans on filament bulbs are already in place. These include Brazil, Russia, Argentina, the US and several EU members. The Middle East is likewise considered an attractive market, especially for low-end and midrange lines.
To enhance long-term competitiveness, suppliers are investing more in R&D. In addition, some are partnering with research facilities or academic institutions for product development.
Fujisunwah Electronic Technology Co. Ltd, for instance, is working with the Ocean University of China.
Products & prices
Mainland China offers LED bulbs and tubes for various applications.
In the former, the selection includes A, globe, flare and reflector types with iron or aluminum alloy bases. Prices depend mainly on the specifications of the chips adopted.
Units between $5 and $10 often employ 1 to 5W LEDs from Taiwan, South Korea or the US. Designs that use locally made diodes are also on hand.
For the cover, models adopt PC with a transmittance rate exceeding 80 percent. The heat sink is 50 to 80 percent aluminum.
In more expensive bulbs, the PC cover has a transmittance rate of more than 90 percent. The heat sink may be made of ceramic, 80 percent aluminum or an LNP Konduit compound.
For LED tubes, T5, T8 and T10 types dominate selections. These come in lengths of 600, 900 and 1,200mm, respectively.
Designs have 75 to 130 lm/W efficiency ratings. Color temperatures reach 10,000K.
Quotes range from $0.90 to $3 per watt, depending mainly on the chips adopted. A unit fitted with domestic LEDs can be priced $2 to $30 lower than one using imported ICs.
Most LED tubes are offered between $23 and $30. In coming months, quotes of low-end and midrange designs are expected to be slashed by up to $3 as the growing number of suppliers push component costs down. High-end variants will be 20 to 30 percent less expensive.

Kenner — A $141 million federal project that improved flood protection for Kenner's residents also created flooding in some backyards, and now the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers is nearly ready to move forward with additional work to correct the problem.
The corps expects to open bids within the next few weeks for a subsurface drainage project along the western edge of Kenner to deal with rear yard flooding at homes north of Interstate 10, said Brad Drouant and Mervin Morehiser, corps project managers. A contractor will be tasked with building a collection system for the run-off from the recently completed West Return Floodwall. That water will then be funneled through newly installed culverts to canals and drainage systems in Kenner, they said.
Morehiser said officials couldn't release the exact cost of the project because bidding is still active, but they expect it to be between $1 million and $5 million. The work is expected to take about eight months.
The project is welcome news for residents in the area, who have been plagued by flooding during rains since the floodwall project was completed, said Councilman Kent Denapolis, who represents many of those residents. Denapolis noted that when the corps decided to build the new floodwall, he and former Mayor Ed Muniz pushed for a design that would have kept the floodwall in the same spot it occupied prior to Hurricane Katrina.
However, the corps decided to use a design that pushed the floodwall about 35 feet further west. That additional space, plus a steeper slope on the floodwall, created some fairly serious run-off, Denapolis said. He claims he and Muniz foresaw this possibility, but it's only now that the corps is taking action.
"We saw this coming from the start," Denapolis said.
Kenner Public Works Director Jose Gonzalez said the city has received multiple complaints from residents about flooding in their yards, and he said those complaints were uncommon prior to the construction of the new wall. Any time there is a severe rain there will be some yard flooding, but the new floodwall exacerbates the problem, he said. No figures were available on exactly how many yards had experienced flooding.
"There was probably a problem (before), but we didn't get a lot of complaints on it," Gonzalez said.
Morehiser acknowledged that the flooding problem is partially the corps' fault, but he noted that the area has likely always had flooding during heavy rains. He said that some properties already have drainage systems in their rear yards, while others lack them and have experienced more of a problem. Morehiser said corps is ready to not only fix the problem it helped create, but upgrade the city's drainage in general.
"We're not only going to correct the problem, but we're going to fix something that's been there for years," he said.
The West Return Floodwall is more than 3 miles long and connects with levees in Jefferson and St. Charles parishes. The floodwall has an elevation between 16 and 17.5-feet above sea level, according to figures provided by the corps. The new floodwall has pilings driven as deep as 120 feet.

- How to Read a Study Record
This study will use transcranial magnetic stimulation to examine how the brain controls movement by sending messages to the spinal cord and muscles and what goes wrong with this process in disease. Normal healthy volunteers 18 years of age and older may be eligible to participate.
In transcranial magnetic stimulation, an insulated wire coil is placed on the subject's scalp or skin. Brief electrical currents are passed through the coil, creating magnetic pulses that stimulate the brain. During the stimulation, participants will be asked to tense certain muscles slightly or perform other simple actions. The electrical activity of the muscle will be recorded on a computer through electrodes applied to the skin over the muscle. In most cases, the study will last less than 3 hours.

Final score: North Catholic 51, Rochester 48
North Catholic survived a flurry of Rochester shots in the final few seconds, including missed 3-pointers by Giovanni Ellis and Jasson Adamson on the same possession, to win the WPIAL Class AA boys basketball championship. It's the second consecutive for North Catholic coach Dave Long, who had quadruple bypass surgery Dec. 31 but rushed back to coach the Trojans through the playoffs.

Simplereader v0.11 for Sony Librie released
It looks as though the Sony Librie is about to get a second lease of life: Simplereader v0.11 has just been released. Still to be considered "work in progress", Andrew Jennings who wrote the app, reports:
It boots up to a menu now, displaying all files in the /simplereader/textfiles directory, and letting you choose which file to open. When a file is opened, you can press "Q" to close it and go back to the menu. You can copy your own text files into that directory and try opening them. It will look best if the files don't have any carriage returns within paragraphs. (i.e. each paragraph should be one continuous line.)
The Simplereader website can be found
I've seen a lot of chatter on the wire recently about people writing their own apps for the Librie. Many of you will already be familiar with the English Firmware translation project - and if anyone has tried the Simplereader please let us know how you got on.

Afghan girls from the Mobile Mini Circus Children (MMCC) pose for pictures during a show in Kabul. Afghanistan's Mobile Mini Circus for Children would have been heretical under the Taliban, when music was banned by the Islamic fundamentalist movement and girls were forbidden from performing in public and going to school. But today the circus, founded by Danish dance instructor David Mason to teach co-operation and creativity to children scarred by years of war, is one of only a few such projects expanding in the country.

text: The ATLAS wiki last edited by Tgrills on 02/15/15 10:30AM View full history Co-operative Testing InitiativeATLAS is a robotic entity built out of the shell of an Emotion Sphere, supposedly for the sole purpose of testing in the Aperture Science Robot Enrichment Program. At the beginning of the tests, ATLAS, referred to as "Blue", is given an Aperture Science Handheld Portal Device that shoots blue and purple portals. Like his mechanical life-partner P-Body, ATLAS is assembled at the beginning of every Testing Chamber and dis-assembled at the end. ATLAS and P-Body initially seem to be completing standard Portal "tests" simply to amuse GLaDOS, who continually berates them in a passive-aggressive manner, growing upset as they display increasingly Human behaviour (such as high-fiving after a job well done, dancing together in front of a camera, playing rock-paper-scissors, and hugging) and trying unsuccessfully to turn the robots against each other. As they continue through the facilities though, it soon becomes apparent that GLaDOS is using the robots to further her own agenda. On several occasions, she sends them into areas outside of the testing facility in order to allow her to access important information stored on DVDs. The final such excursion restores full power to GLaDOS, and allows her complete access to Aperture's systems, which lets her locate a hidden Vault containing dozens of humans frozen in some kind of stasis pods. Once P-Body and ATLAS gain entry to the Vault, GLaDOS shows genuine affection towards the robots for the first time, thanking them for 'saving science', and telling them that there is much more work for them to do now that they have located human test subjects. Peer Review The Peer Review DLC package for Portal 2 adds an additional series of testing chambers to the co-operative testing initiative, in which GLaDOS claims it has been 100,000 years since their last activation, and that Humans have "solved science", with testing chambers only being used as a form of artistic expression. Eventually, however, she admits that it has only been a week since they found the Vault, and that shortly after they were deactivated, an unknown hacker utilizing a prototype GLaDOS chassis deep in the bowels of Aperture started trying to take control of the facility, with the net effect that chaos has been wrought upon Aperture's various systems, which are in danger of outright failure. GLaDOS attempted to train her new Human test subjects into being perfect killing machines, but none of them survived her cruel test chambers, so she is now forced to reactivate ATLAS and P-Body in order to oust the hacker and save Aperture. She sends them through some of the same test chambers, but fails to alter their silly nature into hardened murderers, and sends them in to confront the hacker anyway. ATLAS and P-Body discover that the hacker is actually the bird from Portal 2's singleplayer campaign, causing GLaDOS great fear since her experience of being partially eaten while trapped in the potato, and which has built a nest into the prototype chassis. The "hacking" that has been assaulting the facility has actually been the bird randomly pecking at a still-active keyboard attached to the chassis, causing chaos throughout Aperture. Despite GLaDOS being sure the robots were no match for the bird, ATLAS and P-Body manage to shoo it out a hatch and seal it outside the facility, whereupon GLaDOS has them retrieve the nest and the bird's eggs so she can raise them to be her own personal killing machines.TriviaDespite his name always being written in all-caps, it is never mentioned or explained what "ATLAS" stands for.ATLAS Is referred to as "Ballbot" in the game files.Fitting with his testing designation, ATLAS has a blue optic sensor (eye), and several panels on his body are blue, along with an identification stripe on his portal gun. GLaDOS mentions that ATLAS is "the most advanced model of robot that Aperture Science has ever discontinued", though like everything else she says, this is probably either exaggerated or openly made up.The name ATLAS is a reference to the Titan of the same name, who is often represented as supporting Earth on his back, much as ATLAS' enormous shoulders seem equipped to.

Security a key factor at new Quaker Valley Middle School
Along with new classroom features and technology, Quaker Valley School District's $26.5 million middle school remodeling project included many security upgrades designed to keep children and adults safe, administrators said.
But with increased security measures comes a balancing act, Director of Administrative Services Joseph Marrone said.
"How much do you want to put into it until you become a Fort Knox or a prison, but how safe are the kids and employees?" Marrone said.
Security upgrades for the Sewickley middle school were approved long before a suspected gunman last month killed 20 children and six adults in a Newtown, Conn., elementary school.
The shooting prompted Quaker Valley board member Danielle Burnette to initiate discussions of safety upgrades across the district, she said.
Burnette said she is "concerned about our student's safety in light of recent events, and I know it's probably heavy on a lot of parent's hearts."
School leaders expect to present new safety material as early as next month to board members, Superintendent Joseph Clapper said.
"There's been a lot of things on safety that have been going on over the last year and a half," he said. "We're feeling really comfortable where we are with the plans."
With new procedures, new alarms, more cameras and safer doors, learning how to use all of the security measures is a daunting task, Marrone said.
While discussing security features with the Sewickley Herald last week inside the middle school, six parents freely walked through the building — one said main office workers let him through without taking his name, another entered through a backdoor after a teacher let the parent in.
"The teacher must have just said, 'Oh, someone's at the door, I'll just let them in,' and we're not supposed to," Marrone said.
Four others were in a hallway near the school's gymnasium.
Marrone led parents to exits and asked for one parent to be escorted to the main office.
Even before students were welcomed into the building Jan. 7, school employees began learning how new safety procedures would be used, Marrone said.
"We have a lot of systems we're growing into instead of growing out of," he said.
"It's just like anything else — there's a lot there," Marrone said. "It's not a once and done. It's ongoing."
Among the new features include the ability to deactivate an employee's ID if they do not swipe the card before leaving for the day, Marrone said.
Air quality controls also allow for administrators to limit air intake should a chemical spill occur nearby, he said. In classrooms, flipchart material was created to offer school employees a quick guide for a variety of emergencies — from bomb threats to a child being injured.
Despite the upgrades, Marrone said administrators received some "flak" for some of the security measures taken in the new building.
"It's normal," he said.
School board member David Pusateri said he also wants to see substitute teachers — daily and long term — receive information to be prepared in the event of an emergency.
"We need to take a harder look at what we're doing with our substitutes," he said. "How much do the substitutes know what the procedure is?"

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 8/4/2014 (1233 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
Universities have to step up to promote and support an equitable education for Aboriginal children, Assembly of First Nations National Chief Shawn Atleo said today.
Universities can play "a leading role in lifting the consciousness of Canadians. Universities have a leadership role to play," Atleo said in an interview with the Free Press.
In pushing for Aboriginal control of First Nations schools and for vastly improved federal funding for education, Atleo said, "I'd like to see more direct relations between universities and First Nations. There's deeper partnerships that can and must be developed."
Atleo also spoke to the annual meeting of the Association of Universities and Colleges of Canada, a session held behind closed doors.

Alumni Success Story
Alumna Opens French-inspired Café and Gallery
Interested in a quick trip to Paris or a European experience without leaving the district? Well, thanks to Sabrina Ousmaal, SOC/BA '90, you can. Ousmaal used her international experience, work for CAS as a European Delegate, and degree from SOC to realize her dream of opening a French café and artisan gallery in D.C.
Ousmaal's business, Terasol, first opened in 2008 in the Chevy Chase Arcade. It was a place where local artisans could display and sell their creations to the community. The concept was well-received, and soon Ousmaal decided to incorporate a French café. She envisioned a place providing unique flavors, reminiscent of places she remembers from her childhood in France.
Ousmaal credits her success in part to her education and experiences at AU. In addition to co-owning a restaurant, she works full-time as associate publisher of a daily energy trade publication. "Studying journalism and political science, AU provided me not only with the fundamentals, but with hands-on experiences like no other. I went to live newsrooms and attended Congressional briefings. Not many schools offer this access. I decided to take a leap into leadership and became the president of the International Student Association, the European Delegate as well as the CAS Representative to the Board. To this day, I believe that these initiatives were essential to form my business skills," she says.
Osumaal, a potter herself, adds that her love of the art began 12 years ago. During this time, her father was diagnosed with terminal cancer. "As I always enjoyed creating, this was a way to help me focus on something other than cancer. I fell in love with the craft and the great people I shared [this time] with every Sunday. Pottery was liberating, offering a great way to recuperate from hard work." In 2005, Ousmaal was diagnosed with a rare cancer, and she was able to use pottery as a therapeutic medium while she conquered her personal battle with cancer.
While Ousmaal is elated that she has achieved many goals, she admits that being an entrepreneur isn't easy. She says, "You need to accept that things will fall and fail but that nothing can or should be discouraging you. You need to encourage and motivate your team, embrace and cherish your customers, and never lose track of the passion that ignited it all."
When asked which item is a must have at Terasol, Ousmaal says, "Terasol is not about one thing, as it is a different experience to many. Its essence is its conviviality, where lunches and dinners lend themselves to conversations and great memories, where you come for a simple honest, homemade dinner and wander through a gallery holding a glass of nice Chateauneuf du Pape, discovering intricate glazes, while being serenaded by a musician, all the way through your last bite of the dark chocolate mousse. That is Terasol."
If you're interested in a European experience, join us for a "Taste of France" on January 17, 2012, at Terasol. Register now.

CH4D are supposed to give me the correct size die body to work with the MH case, hopefully it will! Supposed to ship this week. Yes, I may need to try different sizing bushings to make it work with the brass I have, but the beauty is that you can get any sized bushing you want, and I only plan to size the neck to the depth I seat the bullet to.The BACO .469"480RN meaures .456 across the flats of the bullet nose, not exactly "bore riding". This is a new addition to the BACO custom moulds. The RCBS .465-480-FN measures .453. I do plan on testing seating depth, but suspect there's no way to seat that bullet far enough out to even get close to the rifling, but may improve things. For now, I'm working on finding out what combination of filler and wad works best using a standard 85gr charge of Fg. I plan to use 3gr. Kapok only as a filler and will try two different wad thickness/types. And the magic utter cream too. So many variables, so little time!This is a great site BTW, loading the MH and the Snider is new to me. My Dad's MH hung up on the living room wall since about 1960 and he never shot it. It looked like it had never been fired when we took it down two years ago and dissassembled and cleaned it. There are no markings on the reciever (other than what may be a serial number on the bottom). It is a P. Webley and Sons Mk III barrel (other parts internally are Mk III also); must be a commercial version, has the full wood stock (also Mk III forend hook attachment). Dad had some Kynoch Rifle (orange patch) and Carbine (green patch) factory ammo (both are cordite) that shot quite well (2 to 3 inch at 50 yds), if you didn't mind the 2 or 3 second delay from the time the striker hit the primer to when it went bang! Velocities were right up where advertised. I ended up pulling the bullets and popping the primers (which just fizzled). I annealed the necks, but cracks are developing regardless. I do plan to load 85 gr. with no fillers and no wads; and from reading in this forum, if done "correctly" it should not cause chamber ringing. I'm not sure what "correctly" means. I've read the third Ed. of Graeme Wright's book on shooting the British Doubles and he doesn't really say much about how much airspace is acceptable as a limit (other than to avoid it). When using a wad, I plan to set it right up against the bullet base and not down on the powder. I have found contradictory information on smokeless loads regarding if it is fast powders or slow powders that are most prone to ringing. I've rambled and gotten off topic, so better stop now.Geoff

I used somewhere around a half oz (probably) in a bucket of water and it cleaned my whole apartment, floor to ceiling. The fact that this cleaner can be used for every aspect of cleaning and I could use the same bucket for my entire apartment saved me so much water. I love a product that has multiple uses. Since being turned on to Dr. Bronner's, I don't use anything else. I use it as an all purpose cleaner (I use the Sal Suds for super dirty jobs), a body wash, a shampoo, laundry detergent...you name it, this soap can probably do it. The eucalyptus scent is very refreshing."

I wish I was never born
Yes... the doctor negligently misdiagnosed the mother. Yes the doctor should pay up the nose. But... A baby suing because his parents didnt abort him?? *oy*
It sounds unbelievable but it's true and not that uncommon. The action is wrongful life. The case I quoted from is: Procanik v. Cillo, 97 NJ 339 and here is a link with some articles of recent such cases.

Hey all, I have updated my post with the case cite. It is a true case. I was reading it and had to read it about three times to believe my eyes. It is a sad situation because these children are born very disabled... but it is just sad to inituate a lawsuit "I'm suing becuase I was born"
The baby is suing the doctors for not advising his parents to terminate him. Ofcourse this is what's referred to as legal fiction. The baby isn't suing. The parents are suing on behalf of the baby. That makes it sadder I think.
Vox, the picture might be from the onion. It's not the child involved in the case. I just thought it looked like a child who'd initiate litigation!
- 12:43 PM, January 16, 2006
- Aisha said...
The articles dont emphasize the whole "I shouldnt have been born" and more on care for the child. But the case I read is from the early 80's... and they actually argued that the child should have been aborted. I think with more awareness they don't say it so bluntly.

First of all I want to say that I am personally 100% for the right to life. With that said, there is nothing more sacrosanct than the right of choice....PERIOD end of story.
One of the main reasons women go to physicians during pregnancy is to check on the health of the their unborn. There is an expectation and right to be informed of any and all anomolies.
If the physician did willingly or unwillingly (I don't doubt that could happen also) withold information then he/she should be sued.
A right to sue on the grounds that you should never have been born, also streghens the legal aurgument for a womens right to choose.
I see no problem here......
as for the picture, I thinks its fabulous. Finally an appropriate story for photo of a Carolina Gamecock fan ;)

Emory: totally with you on the legal reaons for such lawsuits. Doctors must be held accountable for misdiagnosing, and they should pay for it. But goodness, can't they come up with a better term than wrongful life and "Infant suing because he's alive and wishes he were dead".... that's just wrong to the ears you know? OUCH re the gamecock comment... just remember hubris.. tis a vice. Come next year we'll see who shall be smug :)
Boxin: The baby isn't the baby in question. Just a random cute baby who looks mighty frustrated.

If the doctor knew about the disease and the fact that the baby would be born with severe handicap, but withdrew the information because he believed in right to life, then he should be sued for not doing his duty as a doctor. By law you have to provide all information to the parents and let THEM make the decision. Oh, but what a terrible, messed up situation!

Kashmiri, ark... where when how? Let me know so I can buy a hammer or get some nails :)
Mezba I agree and that is why cases like this come about. Because doctors should be accountable for their actions. It's not the situation I was shocked to see... yes a doctor should pay up the nose... but it was just the semantics of how they're trying to make him pay. Wrongful life. sniff.

Are you kidding me? I say that as a statement of shock, not a stupid question.

Robin I'm sorry I didnt write how it turned out. The "baby" was given compensation for his health issues and the medical expenses already incurred but he did not get damages for his parents impaired capcity, or for his impaired childhood. Most wrongful life cases don't go very far but they are gaining steam.

It's a sad day in the U.S. when things like this happen....
next you'll hear about unborn fetuses suing. If the parents had a problem with it why not just sue in their own name?
Had the doctor failed to detect the rubella or he failed to inform them of it?
- 2:00 AM, January 20, 2006
- Aisha said...
welcome sdit, the parents did not sue because their statute of limitation had run out (the time they could sue within had expired)... the baby's time hadn't expired. :(. The doctor did a test but did not interepret it correctly. He made a mistake. The rubella was there he didn't see it.
Most courts will deny recovery for these claims.
But again its a com;licated situation. I mean the doctor did make a mistake. This child IS suffering. Maybe a doctor should pay for being negligent.
Not an easy answer.

hi aisha.
I was born with CRS. I am now 47 with severe hearing loss (wear two hearing aids) and had to attend normal schooling. In the 60s it was very difficult to get the proper education due to the lack of training of education children with disabilities. I unfortunately suffered greatly being the only child in the whole school system to be handicapped.
After reading this clip, I can understand why he felt the way he did... In fact I wished that my mother would of aborted me to spare the pain and the aniety of how hard my parents tried to get me an education and a fair chance to be a productive person. It a difficult road for anyone who has a disability. I say this because I would of wanted my mother to have a choice not because of a doctor who happens to be catholic and does not believe in abortions. But I ask each one of you women (and men) that if you were pregnant with a child and you were sick with Rubella, would you give birth to the child knowing that child will be born with a disability....
Will you give that child all the needs and support because he or she will need it all for the rest of their lives...
Athought I have asked my mother the question, 'if she had the choice would she choose to abort me'... She has told me (knowing full well that I would of wanted her to do it) there were others who did abort their babies, but I wanted you despite how hard it would be for you.
I think for all of you, the question is you should really be in the other guys shoes for once know what it really feels like be a person with a disability.

Anon I dont normaly respond to comments from archived material but I felt compelled to respond to you. I am so sorry that you have had to struggle in your life. I am sorry that you have had to wonder whether or not you should have been born. I spend my life representing children with disabilities and chronic illness to have an equal chance at education. I am not in your shoes, but each day I work with young people battling difficult issues as a result of their disabilties and illnesses. I cannot ever say that you are wrong for how you feel because it is in truth how you feel. But I will say that your life is meaningful. Its worthwhile. Just hearing your struggle makes me more motivated tomorrow to represent a child with a disability get a better chance in life and get the benefits they are entitled to. That means that thanks to your presence on this earth, a child will be benefitted who is struggling as you have.
The reason that I felt frustrated with these cases are from an INFANT's point of view. A six month old suing because they wish they were not born is not possible... a 6 month old isn't at that stage in life to conclude such a thing. For that reason I find the implication troubling. As for suing a doctor who misdiagnosed, or didn't do the right thing for the mom, that is a different matter and he should, as I said in this post, pay up the nose.

Epstein: The Real Lesson of the IRS Scandal
The Real Lesson of the IRS Scandal
The news of the past week has rightly been dominated by allegations of abuse in the Exempt Office (EO) of the Internal Revenue Service. The EO is in charge of processing applications for tax-exempt status under Section 501(c)(4) of the Internal Revenue Code, which authorizes these exemptions for "civic leagues or organizations not organized for profit but operated exclusively for the promotion of social welfare." Some 3,357 applications for tax-exempt status were filed in 2012, an election year, which was a 50 percent increase from the 2,265 applications filed in w 2011.
The criteria for Section 501(c)(4) organizations are open-ended. Few complex organizations are ever operated "exclusively" for any single purpose, and the many applicants have rather different definitions of what counts as "social welfare." The deadly combination of loose standards and applications in the thousands empowers the EO to decide which applications sail through, and which are mired in delay.
The May 14 report of the Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration's (IG) explicitly stated that the EO's actions were "not politically biased," but were attributable solely to the confusions of lower staff members, who somehow for nearly three years never quite understood their jobs assignments. Don't believe a word of that whitewash. All the nitpicking questions and pointless delays, such as those experienced by the Ohio Tea Party, were calibrated to hold off the approval of these applications until after the November 2012 presidential election.
The dismal performance of the IRS is but a symptom of a much larger disease which has taken root in the charters of many of the major administrative agencies in the United States today: the permit power. Private individuals are not allowed to engage in certain activities or to claim certain benefits without the approval of some major government agency. The standards for approval are nebulous at best, which makes it hard for any outside reviewer to overturn the agency's decision on a particular application.
That power also gives the agency discretion to drag out its review, since few individuals or groups are foolhardy enough to jump the gun and set up shop without obtaining the necessary approvals first. It takes literally a few minutes for a skilled government administrator to demand information that costs millions of dollars to collect and that can tie up a project for years. That delay becomes even longer for projects that need approval from multiple agencies at the federal or state level, or both.
The beauty of all of this (for the government) is that there is no effective legal remedy.

text: Retail conglomerate Limited Brands ( LTD) posted an increase in second-quarter earnings Thursday -- easily beating the consensus estimate -- on a 10% jump in total sales. In addition, the company backed analysts' third-quarter consensus estimate and upped its full-year forecast, given the strength in the latest quarter. But the retailer also noted that August apparel sales have been below plan and said overall same-store sales are so far weaker-than-expected in the month. Columbus, Ohio-based Limited earned $148 million, or 31 cents a share, in the quarter ended July 31, compared with $102 million, or 19 cents a share, in the same quarter last year. On an adjusted basis, earnings in the most recent quarter were $137.3 million, or 29 cents a share, the company said. Adjusted results exclude a pre-tax gain of 2 cents a share from the company's sale of its remaining interest in Galyan's Trading ( GLYN). The operator of Express, Express Men, Victoria's Secret, Bath & Body Works and Henri Bendel stores had sales in the latest quarter of $2.21 billion, up from $2.01 last year. Same-store sales increased 9%. Analysts were calling for a profit of 25 cents a share on sales of $2.187 billion in the quarter. Shares of Limited were rising 35 cents, or 1.7%, at $20.60 in Thursday premarket trading, approaching their 52-week intraday high of $21.65 reached on April 27. Limited said it is comfortable with the First Call consensus for 6 cents a share in the third quarter. That would compare with a profit of 4 cents a share in the third quarter last year. Yet, the company said August same-store sales are below plan and could be up in the low single digits due to weaker apparel sales. August same-store sales will be released in early September.

Oscar-winning director Oliver Stone intends to direct "Jawbreaker" for Paramount Pictures.
Oliver Stone is dealing with terrorism again. Fresh from directing "World Trade Center" for Paramount Pictures, the prominent filmmaker is set to once again collaborate with the giant company to make "Jawbreaker", a big screen project focusing on America's response to the terrorist attacks with the invasion of Afghanistan and hunt for Osama Bin Laden.
Attached to work on the script is Cyrus Nowrasteh who will pen the second draft of the picture after the first made by Ralph Pezzullo. It will be developed based in part on a 2005 memoir written by Gary Bernsten, the CIA field commander during the invasion, and Pezzullo
Stone, a three-time Oscar winning director and screenwriter, is known to make film features which often concern political matters and are sometimes critical of the U.S government, notably that of "JFK." For "Jawbreaker", he, however, cautioned that the picture is one of several projects he percolates as he hasn't locked his next film yet.

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
I am already spayed and up to date with shots.
Despite her little quirks, her quality of life is still very decent - She is an extremely happy girl, very loving and people-oriented, with an excellent demeanor. When someone she recognizes says hi to her she does a very good impression of a horse prance, lifting up the front paws, because she gets so excited. She is currently being fostered at a doggie daycare facility and she has acclimated beautifully and gets along great with all the other dogs. She is a staff favorite, and all the clients have gotten to know her and they all ask for her when they come in. She has almost become like their "mascot". Ultimately, though, we think she deserves a family of her own who will continue to nurture her, train her and love her. She deserves that special bond with her special person or family. If you think that might be you and you would like more information or would be interested in meeting Cupcake in person, please give us a call.
Cupcake's adoption fee of $225 includes: vet exams, DAPP (distemper-parvo) combo vaccination, bordetella vaccination, rabies vaccination, deworming, microchip and spay.
Cupcake, a Mt. Prospect Labrador Retriever/Shepherd (Unknown Type) puppy was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Labrador Retriever/Shepherd (Unknown Type) for sale in Mt. Prospect, or seeking a Labrador Retriever/Shepherd (Unknown Type) puppy from a breeder in Mt. Prospect.

Expression of proteins in yeast is a common alternative to prokaryotic and higher eukaryotic expression. Yeast cells offer many of the advantages of producing proteins in microbes (growth speed, easy genetic manipulation, low cost media) while offering some of the attributes of higher eukaryotic systems (post translational modifications, secretory expression). Several yeast protein expression systems exist in organisms from the genera Saccharomyces, Pichia, Kluyveromyces, Hansenula and Yarrowia.
At the heart of any yeast expression system is the expression vector. Vectors that integrate into the host chromosome are most widely used because of their mitotic stability in the absence of a selection. However, episomal expression vectors exist for some yeast systems. Expression vectors typically contain a strong yeast promoter/terminator and a yeast selectable marker cassette. Most yeast vectors can be propagated and amplified in E. coli to facilitate cloning and as such, also contain an E. coli replication origin and ampicillin selectable marker. Finally, many yeast expression vectors include the ability to optionally clone a gene downstream of an efficient secretion leader (usually that of mating factor) that efficiently directs a heterologous protein to become secreted from the cell.
A growing number of engineered yeast strains are becoming available for protein expression. Strains have been described that increase yield of secreted proteins, improve the performance of certain affinity tags, reduce proteolysis, define the composition of N-glycans, and permit non-native amino acids (e.g. selenomethionine) into proteins have been described.
One yeast system that is commonly used for protein expression is Kluyveromyces lactis. K. lactis was one of the first yeasts to be used as an expression host in the early 1980's. It was developed for use in the food industry and was harnessed for industrial production of bovine prochymosin, an important cheese manufacturing enzyme. In addition, K. lactis and S. cerevisiae are the only two yeasts classified by the NIH as Host-Vector I systems, an important biosafety designation, making it an attractive host for use in regulated industries. The system was adapted for life sciences research by NEB and a variety of vectors and host strains in a frozen competent format suitable are offered.
In the nucleus, an integrated expression vector encoding a fusion between the α-MF domain (blue) and a desired protein (black) is expressed. A signal peptide in the α-MF domain directs entry of the fusion protein into the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and is removed by signal peptidase (SP). The fusion protein is transported to the Golgi where the Kex protease removes the α-MF domain. The protein of interest is then secreted from the cell.

13 Movies That Brought Their Stars' Careers to a Stop
Hollywood is a rough town. Unlike baseball, there's no three strikes and you're out. One bad flick can put a career on life support. There have been legendary bombs throughout Hollywood history that have been major black marks on many actors' report cards. These put a quick stop on their stars' careers.
'Waterworld' and 'The Postman'
While almost everyone in Hollywood has had at least one failure, others have a couple big dogs on their resume. Kevin Costner was somehow able to get work after the debacle of 'Waterworld,' but then managed to star in 'The Postman' — a movie so ridiculous, self-important and insufferable, you wonder what on earth everybody involved was smoking.
'Moment by Moment' and 'Battlefield Earth'
John Travolta also had two major stinkers he was lucky to survive … barely. He was on an incredible roll with 'Saturday Night Fever' and 'Grease' in the late '70s, then came 'Moment by Moment' in 1978, and Travolta's career went kaput until 'Pulp Fiction,' 16 years later, brought him back. In 'Moment by Moment,' Travolta plays the gigolo lover of Lily Tomlin, and spends much of the movie running around in black bikini underwear. Enough said. Then, after he got back on top, Travolta did the Scientology infomercial 'Battlefield Earth,' which brought the comeback train to a crashing halt.
You gotta feel bad for Elizabeth Berkley. Sure, she's not the greatest actress in the world, but she didn't have to die for the sins of Joe Ezsterhas, whose dreadful script somehow got sold for $3 million. You can understand a cast member of 'Saved by the Bell' wanting to break away and do more adult work, but instead of taking Berkley to a new level, 'Showgirls' became her cinematic cross to bear.
'Kiss of Death' and 'Jade'
David Caruso was the McLean Stevenson of the '90s: a guy who left one of the biggest TV shows in history (in Stevenson's case, 'M*A*S*H*') to star in one of TV's all-time worst shows ('Hello Larry'). Caruso burned his bridges with 'NYPD Blue' for a big movie career that never happened, starring in 'Kiss of Death' and 'Jade.' Thankfully for the mercurial actor, 'CSI: Miami' producer Jerry Bruckheimer stepped in and brought him back from oblivion.
'After Earth'
Speaking of Scientology infomercials, 'After Earth' tried to sneak its Scientology message in under the radar, yet nobody was fooled by these cover manuevers. While Will Smith may be able to survive this train wreck, his career has certainly taken a hit from 2013's 'After Earth' that will be tough to recover from. No telling if director M. Night Shyamalan can do the same for his career.
Eddie Murphy never seems grateful for having his career rescued from the toilet. After a comeback with 'The Nutty Professor,' he couldn't help but to jump right back into the cesspool. 'Norbit' is the absolute worst in a string of godawful movies. It not only put him back in the toilet bowl, it finally pulled the chain.
'Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull'
You get the impression that after 'The Fugitive,' Harrison Ford just stopped caring. The fourth Indiana Jones movie helped coin the phrase "nuke the fridge" in describing a franchise's point of no return from s—sville. After you see the movie, you'll understand why.
'The Wicker Man'
Nicolas Cage used to be a great actor, but he's done so much schlock in recent years, it's become hard to pinpoint exactly where it all went wrong. 'The Wicker Man' is certainly a good place to start. Making jokes about this movie is like shooting fish in a barrel.
'Jack and Jill'
Having never found Adam Sandler funny or talented, I've often wondered if he sold his soul to the devil for success. With 'Jack and Jill,' perhaps the devil's finally come around to collect.
'The Love Guru'
With 'Wayne's World' and 'Austin Powers,' Mike Myers created indelible comedy characters. Not this time. 'The Love Gurur"s Guru Pitka doesn't come anywhere near the comedy genius of Myers' Austin Powers, Wayne or even Dieter. After 'The Love Guru,' and the awful 'Goldmember,' we're inspired to paraphrase something the late, great Gene Siskel once said while angrily reviewing a terrible Eddie Murphy movie: "Come on Mike! Try harder!"

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 9/6/2009 (2992 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
WINNIPEG--The Manitoba Liquor Control Commission is going to stop issuing photo identification cards.
Don Lussier, president and CEO of the MLCC, announced this morning that the MLCC is ending its photo identification program on June 29.
Lussier said the cards issued by the MLCC do not meet security requirements and the MLCC wasn't prepared to incur the necessary costs to bring the cards up to date.
The cards have been used by people without a driver's licence to prove their age, and were accepted by liquor stores and bars.
However, Manitoba Public Insurance announced last month that it has begun issuing photo ID cards that will replace those issued by the MLCC.
The MPI photo ID cards are available for $20 at any Autopac office or an MPI service centre.
The MPI photo ID cards cannot be used as a passport substitute but MPI does issue the enhanced photo identification cards that are accepted by U.S. customs at its border crossings.

Theory "Cecily Manning" Tulip Skirt
This skirt reminds me of something Blair from GossipGirl would wear. It's grey, and belted and looks like it would be appropriate with heels and a skirt and sweater vest. It's prim and yet the tulip shaping on it evokes thoughts of something not so prim. All in all it's a perfect addition for your fall wardrobe.

A spectacular stadium
We move and our new home will be a source of pride for all the Atléticos.
The Wanda Metropolitano is designed to meet the highest standards of comfort, security and visibility. The new facility, which will be ready in the summer of 2017, will host matches for the first team and will opt to host the finals of national and European competitions.
The approximate capacity of the Wanda Metropolitano will be of 68,000 spectators. The club has decided to prioritize the spaciousness, the comfort and the safety of the supporters before the option of a having a larger capacity. However, it is not yet a final number since it will depend on the final choice of the seat models.
In order to access and enjoy the seats in the most satisfactory way, the distance between the rows has been increased. More suitable accesses for disabled fans have also been set up. The location of the vomitoriums and the control of the traffic inside the stadium ensures the maximum safety for the spectators.
The VIP experience at the Wanda Metropolitano will be at the level of the best in the world. The generous size of the spaces, the quality of services, the accessibility through dedicated elevators and the parking available inside the stadium will guarantee a different way of experiencing the sport live.
Neptuno - Atlético de Madrid Premium is the name that encompasses all the VIP offer of our new stadium. A new experiential concept that is the result of the joint work of the club with the company CenterplateISG, a joint venture between Centerplate and International Stadia Group (ISG), two global references in the management and operation of sports venues.
|The Wanda Metropolitano is located in one of the most important growing areas of Madrid, in the northeast of the city, next to the M-40, near the airport and in the influence area of IFEMA. More than 88,000 square meters at the service of Atlético's fans..
- CRUZ Y ORTIZ IN COMMAND. The Antonio Cruz and Antonio Ortiz architectural studio is in charge of the project of the new stadium, an internationally renowned team that will take the building to a new dimension for all the Atlético fans. Its career path is packed with large projects. To its experience in sports venues, Cruz y Ortiz add extraordinary works such as Amsterdam's new Rijksmuseum or the Spanish Pavilion of the Expo 2000.
- IN THE BEST HANDS. More than 58,000 employees in 34 countries on four continents provide an idea of the dimension of FCC. The construction of our new stadium cannot be in better hands.
- WORLDWIDE REFERENCE IN ROOFS. In its more than three decades of experience, Schlaich Bergermann Partner has been responsible for some of the most iconic roofing projects in the world of football. Maracanã Stadium, Johannesburg's Soccer City, the Berlin Olympic Stadium, Leverkusen's Bay Arena or the national stadiums of Bucharest and Warsaw are some of the venues they have worked on. Atlético new stadium join this prestigious list in 2017.

Getting firsthand information from an actual car owner is one sure way to get an idea of car performance once it leaves the lot. Autobytel features real consumer reviews that give the unbiased experience of a car.
Pros: Accelleration and Handling
Cons: Tiny backseat. Forget about using it.
Advice: Do not drive it if you can't buy it. I am still dreaming about it.Simply put, I fell in love. The GT V6 had plenty of horses and was nimble and responsive. My first time behind the wheel was like coming home. Very easy to drive and to drive fast. Doggone sharp too. I bought the Honda but have had longings for the Hyundai every day since. I think the Tiburon will be my next car. Had a friend with me on the test drive and she has talked about that car a lot too. I want it. I want it. And I am 31. Too old to drool like this.
Pros: V6 Power Plant, Body Style, Mystic Teal Paint. The way my friends 18 year old daughter giggled.... when I stepped on the gas...while giving her a ride.
Cons: Heavy on water streaking after car wash. Get Mcguires Quick Detail and a few teri cloth towels to touch up
Advice: Buy this car through AAA or Insurance plan. Dealers are trying to mark this vehicle up $2-3000.00 over MSRPI drove both the 4 and 6 cylinder versions. Although the 4 has plenty of spunk, I just had to opt for the 6 with a six speed. I was able to find one without leather and a 6 speed which saved me $900.00. I was unable to locate a 6 speed GT with a sunroof & leather which would have been my preferred options. The dealer would have installed a sunroof for twice the sticker price. This car handles like a dream and accelerates strongly through all gears. You can break the tires in 1st & 2nd gear without effort. The body styling simply put is sexy which is matched by the interior cockpit which is blacked out accept for the silver highlights. The stereo simple put cranks, my ears are still ringing. It does under steer and toe a little during acceleration like other reviewers have stated but you really have to push it.
Pros: A LITTLE TO SMALL FOR MYSELF AT 6 FOOT 5
Cons: THE POWER,THE LOOK, THE COMPORT OF THE LEATHER SEATING.
Advice: BUY MATCHING SUN GLASSING FOR CRUISINGThis car is a great investment for one who enjoys the attention that a ferrari would get. With the top model(GT-V6) being cheaper than the competitors such as the Acura RSX or the Toyota celica you are garenteed to get a much more exhilerating response of people wanting your car or wondering what the heck you are driving. The only problem I can find is the size of the inside. I am 6'6' and find it slightly tight, especially when including the the sunroof I find myself reclining my seat more so than I would if the car added another 1-3 inches of headroom. Overall I still do not regret buying the Tiburon and would even recomend it for others considering to buy one. The car looks, sounds and feels sharp, along with the metallic paint which is an option.
Pros: The looks and the seating is a plus
Cons: The ride, it was firm..i like that..byt the rear sounded like it was rettling with every bump
Advice: Take a lot of time to test drive, its appeal quickly faded with timeThe car is quick and fun to drive, but thats just it..fun for a little while. Doors are excessively large, dings are unavoidable. The rear rattled with every bump, this would either eventualy drive me nuts or the car would fall apart. It was nice on the highways but not a lot of bumps there. The 4 is way underpowered the 6 is a better choice. The price of the vehicle and option package grouping is something to be desired. Just not enough for too much. I enjoyed the test drive very much, but as I said, the fun wears off very quickly when you realize you can get so much more standard equip on a vehicle with simillar price or less.
Pros: Everything - Looks
Cons: Driving in traffic...what a drag
Advice: Take it out on some nice curvy country roadsI've had my 2003 GT V6 (opt. pkg 3) for about three months now. This car is fun to drive and gets lots of looks. This is the 3rd Tib that I've owned and the best one yet. The 17' wheels & V6 were definately needed. I hope they come out with a V8 version soon. Maybe even a convertible. I just love this car.
Pros: Shiftronic it allows yo to drive manual or automatic
Cons: The spare tire is too small
Advice: That you should buy the automatic model because you can still drive manual if you wantHey, I test drove the V6 model and I thought it was great but I thought it would have more power. But compared with the V4 model this one is great.
Pros: THE LOOKS
Cons: More power for the 4 cylinder.
Advice: If you can afford it buy the V6!!!Hi, I bought the 4 cylinder stick-tib(because thats the one I could afford!) This car LOOKS GREAT and it runs pretty good too. I test drove the v6 and it does have power. The car is great for the price! If your a small person it will be a better fit. The inside is small but comfortable.

The Christie Administration today announced that an agreement has been reached among Triple Five, the New Jersey Sports and Exposition Authority, and the MetLife Sports Complex team owners, resulting in an immediate recommencement of construction on the much anticipated American Dream project. The project will result in thousands of new construction and permanent jobs and be an economic engine for the regional and state economy as one of the premier retail and tourist attractions in North America.
"Having been an advocate for this project since the beginning, I am extremely pleased that American Dream is now finally moving forward," said Governor Christie. "This project will bring thousands of construction jobs and full-time employment to the Meadowlands, and be an engine of economic growth for the entire region. Once it's completed and has opened its doors, American Dream will be a dynamic world-class tourist destination for years to come. I thank everyone involved for their good-faith efforts working together to make American Dream a reality."
The design plans for the American Dream project were first announced in May 2011, marking the next steps in the Christie Administration's efforts to transform the existing space into a premier tourism, entertainment and retail destination for New Jersey residents and tourists from around the world. Features of the American Dream complex will include an enclosed amusement park, indoor water park, performing arts theater and the only indoor ski facility in North America. The complex is expected to generate thousands of jobs and tens of millions of dollars in sales and payroll taxes for New Jersey as well as generate revenue for municipalities of Bergen County.
"This agreement is a huge milestone for the MetLife Sports Complex and the state of New Jersey, and crucial in advancing the Administration's long-established goal of delivering a world class sports, retail and entertainment destination in the Meadowlands," said Wayne Hasenbalg, President and CEO of the New Jersey Sports and Exposition Authority.
The agreement calls for the teams, the developer and various state agencies to cooperate to implement a variety of mass transit and traffic improvements that will compliment a detailed traffic and parking management plan designed to enhance the experience of all visitors to the Sports Complex, particularly on NFL game days.
"We are delighted to have played our part in helping to move this project forward under Governor Christie's leadership, and we sincerely thank the involvement and commitment of other state agencies to help ensure the future success of the Sports Complex," added Mr. Hasenbalg.
