Vw's And Other Shitty Things - Poem by Cassie Holt
Today you crossed my mind a million times
Flashes of memories I wont ever forget
The moment I first met you;
It was a day filled with love, a wedding.
You were the DJ, and my cousins and I all thought you were 14.
I guess I took it upon myself to let you know how we all felt.
I found out for us all that you were 17, and that you got into being a DJ because of your father.
You told us that you were a senior at rock creek, and then went back to playing music.
You didn't catch my attention again until you played Ocean Avenue.
My all time favorite Yellowcard song. Ever.
You saw me singing every single word, and decided to talk to me a little more.
Obviously, I didn't mind, but I totally should have.
I wish I would have stopped right there.
I wish I wouldn't have talked anymore.
I wish you hadn't told me to add you on Facebook,
And I wish that we all still thought your name was Greg.
Now, this is something I have put off for a very long time.
Everything I have written in the past has beaten around the bush, but I need to get this out.
We will have known each other 4 years this coming July.
July 18th.
Probably the worst day of my entire life.
We practically know everything about each other,
Except for our pasts.
You wont EVER tell me about your past.
And the really shitty thing is that I never will know.
I think I am the idiot within this whole thing because I am the idiot who stuck around through all of the girlfriends you have had.
I keep thinking that one day you will realize that we are perfect for each other.
But I'm never good enough.
Its shitty.
Just like your car.
And your taste in women.
You finally decided we should see each other for the first time in two years.
That probably just made everything worse, to be honest.
My life is falling apart, because you have this amazing, wonderful girlfriend, and then there is me.
The girl who is hopeless, and always right fucking here.
No matter what I do, I think of you.
I see a Volkswagen on the highway, I think of you.
Someone drinks a redbull, I think of you.
I see a tall blond guy, I think of you.
Someone could breathe and I would think of you.
That's the thing that sucks the most.
I can't forget anything that you have ever said to me.
You called me beautiful, you called me your only one.
And the last thing I want to say is,
I hate you and love you all the same.

AirAsia GP Challenge
The 2009 Malaysian GP turned out to be a wet and wild affair, and a great kick-off to the AirAsia GP Challenge!
On the Saturday of the race weekend, our contest winners hailing from the UK, Australia, and Singapore, were treated to an exclusive tour of the AT&T Williams garage. The tour provided a great behind-the-scenes look at what actually happens in the pit on a race weekend.
The mood around the team garage was especially exciting as Nico had just set the fastest time in the previous round of practice!
After the end of the pit tour, Nico & Kazuki were kind enough to drop by and chat with our winners, as well as pose for a photo call in front of the team pit while the paparazzi snapped away.
As for the race itself, Nico gave us all something to cheer about when he got off to a sensational start and lead the other drivers for a good 15 laps. It was all not meant to be however, and after the torrential rain came pouring down Nico could only manage an 8th placed finish.
Still, it was a very good weekend for the team and the FW31 has definitely proven it's pace over the course of the first two races this season. With a bit of lady luck on our side, this could shape up to be a very exciting season for the team!
Next stop, Shanghai! This round of the AirAsia GP Challenge proved to be even more successful than the first, judging from the amount of entries we've received. Stay tuned to this blog for updates on how the race weekend goes as well as the chance to fly to the British, Italian, and Singapore Grands Prix!
Not sold on the contest yet? Here's what our Sepang round winner Phillippa from the UK had to say:

Research Summary
Of Yeast and Ribosome Biogenesis: Ribosome biogenesis is a complex process requiring the coordinated expression of rRNA and protein moieties and their assembly in the eukaryotic nucleolus. In order to better understand each aspect of this process, we are using an array of genetic, biochemical, and cell biological techniques in the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae. My laboratory focuses on the role of the ribonucleoprotein and protein complexes involved in generating the mature rRNAs.
Specialized Terms: Ribosome biogenesis; RRNA processing; U3 RNP structure and function; RNA helicases; Polymerase I transcription and processing
Extensive Research Description
Study of RNA helicases required for ribosome biogenesis and their cofactors
investigations into the role of ribosome biogenesis in cell cycle regulation
discovery of a subset of SSU processome proteins that are associated with the rDNA and are required for rDNA transcription
subcomplexes of the SSU processome and deciphering the direct
protein-protein and protein-RNA interactions that mediate their assembly
purification and electron microscopy to visualize pre-ribosomes
characterization of an essential new protein-protein interaction motif found in RNA processing RNPs
developing a method to identify individual proteins in chromatin spreads.
Using innovative proteomics techniques, my laboratory has recently identified the protein components of a large nucleolar ribonucleoprotein that is required for processing of the 18S small subunit rRNA. This RNP, which we termed the SSU processome, is composed of the U3 snoRNA and 40 proteins. Currently, projects in the lab are aimed at determining the architecture of this RNP and the functions of individual proteins in 18S processing. We approach this question from several perspectives, using genetic and biochemical methods to identify direct interactions between components, and cryo electron microscopy to visualize the complex in three dimensions.
Through these studies we have discovered and characterized several unique protein motifs and their specific roles in rRNA processing. We have recently discovered that a subset of the SSU processome proteins are associated with the rDNA and are required for rDNA transcription. Stemming from this idea, we are interested in studying the proteins which regulate transcription of the rDNA by Pol I and initiate the processing of the rRNA. We have learned that these steps are intimately linked, and endeavor to describe this complex process in detail. Seventeen putative RNA helicases have been shown to be required for processing of the small and large ribosomal subunit RNAs, perhaps by remodeling the rRNA to allow access to cleavage sites. Ongoing genetic and biochemical studies in the lab examine the roles of each putative RNA helicase and test its ability to unwind RNA. Through these projects, we strive to ascertain how and why the helicases are required at each step in ribosome biogenesis. Because ribosomes are essential to cell growth via the production of new proteins, we are studying the role of ribosome biogenesis in cell cycle regulation.
We have previously shown that rRNA maturation by the SSU processome is required for cell cycle progression, indicating that the production of ribosomes has a distinct influence on the cell cycle. Specifically, we seek to find the ribosome-regulated trigger that allows the cell to progress through the cell cycle, grow in size, and divide. Transcription of the rDNA and processing of the rRNA can be visualized in Miller chromatin spreads, as shown here. In a, the SSU processome corresponds to the terminal knobs at the end of each rRNA branching off the rDNA. When components of the SSU processome are depleted (the U3 snoRNA in b, or the Utp7 protein in c), the knobs are no longer present, due to incomplete formation of the SSU processome.

More tourists visit Blackpool Pleasure Beach each year than go to the Grand Canyon, the Statue of Liberty, the pyramids at Giza or the Taj Mahal, according to a survey published last week by the American magazine Forbes Traveler.
The Lancashire theme park is now the most visited paid-for tourist attraction in Britain, attracting 5.7 million people a year, and it ranked as the 21st most visited tourist attraction in the world in the Forbes chart, which compiled the latest numbers from sites and attractions and national and local tourist boards to create a top 50 of the world's most popular tourism sites.
The Pleasure Beach opened in 1896, but has had periods of decline. In recent years visitor figures have decreased, from 6.8 million in 2000. But it was the second most visited tourist site in Britain overall in the survey, with only Trafalgar Square ranking above it, in fourth place with 15 million visitors a year.
New York's Times Square was top with 35 million, followed by the National Memorial Parks in Washington DC, then Disneyworld in Florida. Other listed British attractions included the Tate Modern (26th, with 4.9 million), the British Museum (27th; 4.8 million), the National Gallery (29th; 4.6 million), the Natural History Museum (43rd; 3.7 million) and the London Eye (44th; 3.5 million).
'The Pleasure Beach is delighted to be ranked 21st in the world,' said press officer Steve Burton. 'This is a testament to its popularity, not just in this country but across the world.'
He said that he hoped that Infusion, the park's £8m five-looping roller coaster, which opened last week and is the world's first to be completely suspended over water, would attract many more tourists.
Modern theme parks attracted many more visitors than some of the world's most famous historic sites. Of the 20 attractions that ranked above Blackpool, eight were theme parks. The rest included Niagara Falls, Notre Dame cathedral, the Great Wall of China, the Louvre, Beijing's Forbidden City and the Eiffel Tower.
But although millions of people flock to British theme parks each year, many feel they are being taken for a ride, said Amanda Diamond, author of a report into the price and value for money of six of the UK's most popular theme parks published by Holiday Which? last week. The investigation found that children over the age of 12 were typically being charged adult prices, people often had to queue for hours, and most of the food available was unhealthy and overpriced.
'With long queues of an hour or more for rides and costly entrance fees, the fun of the fair can be overshadowed and many people feel they are being ripped off,' said Diamond. 'The prices for many parks have already gone up by £1-£2 since we visited them last autumn - but price doesn't seem to put people off, and 10 million of us visit such theme parks each year.'
Only parks which had all-inclusive entrance fees were included - Alton Towers, Chessington World of Adventures, Drayton Manor, Flamingoland, Legoland and Thorpe Park - which charged between £20 and £32 for an adult ticket. Blackpool Pleasure Beach was omitted because visitors can pay per ride (Infusion costs £7 a time).
To make the most of a day out at a theme park, Diamond recommends taking a picnic, booking online, buying 'fast track' tickets to skip queues and going to the popular rides first.

This week it's the turn of Darren (Rolo) Comer, chef at The Allium, North Parade, Bath. Call 01225 461603
When did you first take an interest in cooking, and when did you decide you wanted to become a chef?
I first took an interest when I first picked up a knife at school, I was cutting fruit for a fruit salad and just thinking how cool it was to be preparing fresh fruit to eat and enjoy. After that I would cook very simple food at home to eat just to practice and then worked at a local pub when I was 15, washing pots and pans and seeing good, fresh food being cooked to order.
Where did you do your training?
After school I went to college in Salisbury, where the head chef there also worked at the Savoy Grill in London. Because I turned up every day on time and showed a great interest they found a job offer at a local hotel in Teffont – that's where I got the best training from a great head chef, Nick Wentworth.
How would you describe the style of food served in your restaurant?
I would say the food at Allium is food inspired by all cultures – we have classics like beetroot and goat's cheese, tomato and basil salad, strawberries and vanilla elderflower, then Asian dishes like mackerel with satay sauce, Mizo cooked salmon with Dashi broth. There are also African inspired dishes.
Do you have a signature dish? If so, what?
It would have to be the first dish I came up with – a vegetarian dish of red onion marmalade, balsamic jelly, cep purée, goa's cheese beignet, red wine poached pear, walnut dressing, trumpet mushrooms, walnut biscuit crumb, baby roasted red onions and goat's cheese ice cream. It was a starter and one Saturday night and it out sold the duck!
What would you order from your own menu?
For starter I would have the mackerel with satay sauce, then the stoned bass with avocado and cherry tomatoes, then the milk tart with poached peach.
Your favourite vegetable, and why?
Every vegetable is amazing, it all depends on the season we are in, but at the moment I'm loving sweetcorn.
And favourite dessert?
I'm half Italian so my favourite dessert is Tiramisu – you get coffee, cream, alcohol, chocolate, what more do you want? A sponge? You get that too!
Do you cook a lot at home? What sort of food?
I rarely cook at home. I live on my own and I spend 18 hours a day cooking for other people so I like others to cook for me. When I go to my girlfriend's house she cooks simple but fresh food, like salmon with home made chips or a quick little stir fry of chicken and noddles and vegetables.
Where else locally do you like to eat?
I like trying new places to eat, there are so many places in Bath. I do like going to pubs on my bike – going down the canal, then stopping off at a pub on the way.
Why should people come The Allium?
Because we offer some of the best food in Bath for a very good price. We have classic dishes but when they are served I like to think they have that element of surprise. Like the ribs we serve as snacks – we cook them in a master stock for 24 hours, then make a sweet chilli sauce to glaze the ribs, then serve them with crispy garlic, chilli, sesame seeds and coriander. The taste is out of this world!

Taking Action -- Part 1
The world may not be coming to an end, but it sure feels like it in the stock market. Tuesday is the first of two "blood" moons that Earth will experience this year, the next being in October.
A blood moon refers to a total lunar eclipse, in which the earth passes between sun and moon. But some sunlight is bent around the earth (due to gravity) and bathes the moon in an eerie red glow. Blood moons are often associated with stories of the apocalypse, although one would think after thousands and thousands of them maybe people would settle down. As a metaphor for the bloodshed in the equity markets, or the flowing red ink, or other similar apocalyptic references, the blood moon knows no equal at the moment.

Joss Whedon's Brother Zack To Write 'Serenity' Mini-Series For Dark Horse
Buffy the Vampire Slayer came back as a comic, so why not Firefly?
Dark Horse Comics must have wondered the same thing, because that's exactly what's happening. The first issue of Serenity: Leaves on the Wind is set for release January 29. It'll be written by Zack Whedon, brother of Joss Whedon and an accomplished screenwriter in his own right, and art will be by Georges Jeanty, who Whedonites will remember from the Buffy comics.

RECIPES: Recipe Details
Gotta Jones for Indiana Green Tomato Burgers with Ricotta Sauce
It's true! Once you've tried fried green tomatoes, you'll want them again and again. Indiana is known for growing the very best tomatoes (it's the magic soil), but sometimes it's difficult to wait for them to ripen, especially when the green ones taste so good. Here in the Hoosier state, it is common practice to slice green tomatoes, dip them in egg wash, and then pan fry them until they are golden brown. It's the 'bite,' or tartness of the tomato at this stage of ripeness that is so appealing. This burger recipe takes advantage of this uncommon 'green tomato' taste opportunity by brushing the slices with olive oil, and then grilling them along side the burgers.
3 pounds ground chuck
3 T white merlot
Half cup mayonnaise
1 T salt
2 t coarsely ground black pepper
Waxed paper
Half cup extra virgin olive oil
4 large, green tomatoes, cut into quarter-inch slices
2 large, sweet onions, cut into quarter-inch slices
2 t salt
1 t coarsely ground black pepper
1 cup fresh ricotta
Half cup mayonnaise
Quarter cup chopped, fresh parsley
1 t salt
One quarter cup vegetable oil for brushing grill
6 soft bakery rolls (about 4 inches in diameter)
One stick melted butter
In a chilled bowl, gently combine the ground chuck, merlot, half cup mayonnaise, one tablespoon salt, and two teaspoons black pepper. Shape into six patties, separate with waxed paper and refrigerate until ready for use.
Pour olive oil onto a cookie sheet with sides (or jelly roll pan). Place the tomato and onion slices on the oil and season with salt and pepper. Turn slices over and season the other side.
In a bowl, thoroughly combine ricotta, half cup mayonnaise, parsley, and salt until creamy and of uniform consistency. Refrigerate until ready for use.
Turn on the grill and set to high. Brush the lower rack with vegetable oil. Close the lid and wait for five minutes until the grill rack is hot. Open the lid and place the burgers on the lower rack. Cook for five minutes, and then turn over. Place the tomato and onion slices on the lower rack and cook for two minutes on each side. When the internal temperature of the burger reaches 160 degrees, move the burgers to the top grill rack, but leave room for the buns. Remove the tomato and onion slices from the grill. Split the buns and brush both sides with melted butter. Place each half face down on the upper grill rack until toasted. Remove burgers and buns from grill.
Quickly assemble the burgers by placing a patty on the bottom half of the bun, and then spoon ricotta sauce over the patty. Top with grilled onion and green tomato slices. Put the top bun part in place and serve.
Hello - the quote marks and the fractions appear to be interpreted as odd symbols. I changed the fractions to words, but the write-up about why I think this is a great local burger doesn't show up after the submit button is selected - It contained a couple fo single quote marks - I hope it comes through OK for you.

Autism in the Real World
Her latest novel focuses on Emma, a single mother of two sons. One son has Asperger's and he is accused of murdering his tutor.
Wow! Sounds like a real page-turner.
Ok, Here's my thing. Popular culture is aware of our kids. Grassroots efforts to raise awareness is working and working well. But why is it that when the autistic are represented in novels or in movies or television shows, we only see those who have Asperger's.
Is it because those with Asperger's are "higher functioning?" Is it because they are more easily understood by those in middle America? Because we all know that those in middle America are a bit slower than the rest of America, but they are the group that marketeers most want to reach. Is it because the quirks of Asperger's is neater, cleaner, more socially accepted?
There have been people who ask me about my son. They will sometimes ask me with a hopeful look on their face if my son has Asperger's. When I say no, they might respond with "too bad"
I guess Asperger's is the good kind of autism.
I'm here to tell you people that there is is no good kind of autism. One's life is not defined by where they fall on the spectrum. One's potential is not defined by where they fall on the spectrum.
I challenge those creative types in the creative world. You want to do the world a favor by including families living with autism in your ad campaigns and in your movies? Show it like it is. Show the career woman who had to end her career because the demands of caring for a child with autism and the demands of corporate america don't mix. Show a commercial for pull-ups large enough to fit an 8 year old who just started potty training ( and give us deep discount coupons while you're at it) Show a marriage that crumbled under the strain. Show the life of a neurotypical middle school kid who wants nothing more than to live in a normal house with a normal family with a normal sibling. Show is that!

One's potential is not defined by where they fall on the spectrum?
With all respect I disagree. My 14 year old son is severely autistic, with Autistic Disorder and "profound developmental delays".
He has limited communication abilities verbal OR by any other means. And he has limited understanding of the world or even the realities of the dangers posed by daily life such as automobile traffic.
I have in the course of 12 years of advocacy visited adults with severe autism living in mental health hospital facilities in New Brunswick Canada.
I wish the best for your son but why try to say that your son and mine face the same challenges, have the same potential in life?
They don't.

Hi and thank you for your comment.
My son is also severely autistic. He also has profound developmental delays. He is 5. He doesn't speak often. He has very little in the way of what most call communication skills. He has some self help skills, but no where near what a typical 5 year old should have. My son will smear poop everywhere if I don't remember to put a belt on him to keep his pants on. He'll sing all day or tweat, He'll stim. He has to be monitored constantly.
No two kids are alike. The realities within our families are different. Our sons may not have the same potential, but they do have potential.

I know where you are coming from, this world needs to show all sides of autism, not just the "glory" high functioning side. My daughter is lower functioning, we get all the "what gifts does she have" or "can she do card counting?" what? No my daughter can't even wipe her own butt let alone understand what a card is!
One of my favorite movies, I love to watch, which shows the severe side of autism is "Black Balloon" an Australian based movie, that portrays severe autism to a tee in my humble opinion.
I saw your profile said you are New Jersey Based, ever look into an organization called www.POAC.net, from what I've heard has a lot of families dealing with the severe side of autism as well! Family friends of ours live there, and have told us the many events coming up apart of POAC for children who are on the spectrum. I live over in langhorne, PA, in times like these, I wish there were more places to take our children.

Hi Anonymous-
I am a member of POAC. I haven't been to any of their functions yet. I'm looking forward to their beach bash in September.
I use to live in Bucks County. My daughter and I spent many Saturdays at the Oxford Valley Mall.
I haven't watched The Black Balloon yet. I'll look for it on Netflix.

Note: This project is seeking a new maintainer. See #2540940: Seeking new maintainer for details.
The Client-side adaptive image module helps build responsive web designs with fluid images by providing an Image field formatter that allows you to select appropriate image styles for various client widths. With this module, you can ensure that for each Image field only the most appropriately sized image gets downloaded by the client.
You can serve light images to mobile users while still providing the best quality images to visitors equipped with large screens.
Some highlights:
- Per-field configuration (for each view mode).
- Relies on JavaScript but provides a clean fallback for clients lacking it.
- No cookies required.
- No external libraries required.
- No extra server configuration needed.
- Does not attempt to perform any client OS detection.
- Reverse proxy cache friendly.
How it works
What the module does is basically this:
- Wrap a fallback image in a <noscript> element.
- Attach references to alternate images to the <noscript> element using data attributes. Data attributes are an HTML5 feature but work in older browsers as well.
- Watch for window resize events, and replace the images when appropriate.

Amidst the national title chatter swirling about the water cooler, there are still three legit question marks causing some consternation amongst the Buckeye faithful - special teams, offensive line and the secondary.
Knowing the value Tressel places on special teams, it's hard not to worry about a kicking game returning Devin Barclay but lacking a long man unless Drew Basil matures in a hurry. At punter, Ben Buchanan will get his turn but there's no track record making us comfortable. The same goes for the KO and punt return teams where a host of athletes will get their shot but none have yet to prove their mettle.
Wary of fool's gold, grounded fans are cautiously optimistic about an offensive line ripe with talented experience yet led by a position coach plagued by past big game failures and questions about his ability to develop players. We've been there
one two three too many times to fully believe in this unit until they control the line of scrimmage against elite talent. As much as we all loved the late charge from this group, I'm not sure they faced enough elite talent to put the questions to bed completely. Still, in talking with and observing the fan base, it seems most think this unit will turn the corner this season which brings us to the secondary.
Of course, the secondary has burnt the fan base before in big games too, and after a spring game lacking much in the way of pass defense, it's easy to see why the secondary could be the number one reason to pass the Pepto as you play out the 2010 season in your head. But should it? Ohio State ranked 13th in Pass Efficiency Defense last year and there's no doubt the defensive line and linebackers will again positively influence just how effective this secondary will be.
I hear you. Losing a captain and experienced leader like KC4 will have an impact but don't forget the Buckeyes return three experienced starters. Devon Torrence showed flashes last season including an INT in the endzone to lock up the Michigan win and with another year fully devoted to football instead of sharing time with baseball, I want to believe Torrence can take that next step. Already willing to support the run, his summer will be spent improving technique and ball skills which brings us to fellow cornerback, Chimdi Chekwa. The senior with tons of experience led the team with seven pass breakups a season ago. He has shown the ability to blanket a defender but he's also displayed questionable ball skills and as we've lamented many times before, it's hard to buy into whether or not that skill can truly be learned.
Jermale Hines returns at safety after ranking 4th in tackles last year and there's no reason to believe he won't improve into a potential all conference performer. Orhian Johnson is the lone newcomer but is known to be a vocal guy in practice and as a former QB, insiders say grasping the defensive schemes hasn't been troublesome. A nickel needs to emerge from a pack of hungry young guns and the Tyler Moeller factor is also in play.
I also look at the Fickell and Heacock and can't help but have more faith in their ability to improve the skills of the secondary in addition to being able to more effectively hide their deficiencies through schemes. Throw in the aforementioned abilities of the defensive line and linebackers to get pressure plus create obvious passing situations and I can only come to the conclusion that the secondary will not be most responsible for elevating our collective blood pressure this fall.
All that being said, do you agree? Weighing out the question marks for the offensive line, special teams and secondary, along with the other factors that can positively or negatively impact each unit, which group has you least concerned and why?

CHICAGO – Once Artemi Panarin stopped thinking about scoring, he started scoring again.
The Russian rookie had two goals for the second straight night, and the Chicago Blackhawks beat Pittsburgh 3-1 on Wednesday for their second win against the Penguins in two days.
"If (I) don't score some goals in many games, then (I) start to think too much," Panarin said through a translator. "This is what kind of not help (me). But tonight was good."
Panarin broke a 1-1 tie when he jumped on a loose puck after a faceoff and whipped it over the glove of goaltender Marc-Andre Fleury at 8:56 of the third. Teuvo Teravainen added an empty-net goal as Chicago earned its season-high fifth straight win in the opener of a four-game homestand.
Panarin also had two goals in Chicago's 3-2 victory at Pittsburgh on Tuesday night, including the winner in overtime. Panarin, who leads all NHL rookies with 15 goals and 38 points, had just two goals in his previous 13 games before the scoring binge against the Penguins.
"I think with him, when he thinks shot, he's got a great shot," Chicago coach Joel Quenneville said.
Scott Darling, filling in for starter Corey Crawford, made 17 saves as the Blackhawks swept the season series against the Penguins for the second straight year.
Evgeni Malkin scored for Pittsburgh, and Fleury finished with 34 stops. The Penguins had won two in a row and four of six before the two losses against the Blackhawks.
"I think just dictating the play has been more of our identity here lately and tonight when we don't do that you see the difference," captain Sidney Crosby said. "We are really a team that can skate and play on our toes and when we're doing that we're playing fast and we're tough to contain.
"You get a game like tonight where you sit back, you play tentative and we're a much different team that way," he said.
With Fleury looking strong and Chicago keeping most of the action away from Darling, the teams exchanged screened goals in the first two periods.
Artem Anisimov was camped out in front when Panarin wristed a shot by Fleury for a 1-0 lead at 15:58 of the first. Panarin's goal capped an extended stretch in Pittsburgh's zone for Chicago's second line.
Malkin tied it with his 19th goal at 7:33 of the second.
Canadiens 2, Devils 1
In Montreal, Torrey Mitchell scored a short-handed goal in the second period to lift the Canadiens to a win.
Captain Max Pacioretty also scored for Habs (23-16-3), who were playing their first home game in nearly three weeks.
Mike Condon made 19 saves for the victory.
Canucks 3, Hurricanes 2
In Vancouver, Bo Horvat scored his second goal of the game with 1:06 left to give the Canucks a victory over Carolina.
Sven Baertschi added a goal and an assist for Vancouver
Maple Leafs 4, Ducks 0
In Anaheim, Jonathan Bernier made 38 saves in his 11th career shutout, and P.A. Parenteau scored two goals in Toronto's victory over the Ducks.
Avalanche 4, Blues 3 (OT)
In Denver, Gabriel Landeskog scored at 4:44 of overtime and the Avalanche rallied late to beat St. Louis.

Last Airbender Nabs Nine Razzie Noms
Twilight: Eclipse also up for nine
Since the Golden Raspberry Awards traditionally announce their nominations the day before the Oscar nods arrive, today (or rather yesterday) is the day. And wouldn't you know it? The likes of The Last Airbender, Gulliver's Travels, The Bounty Hunter and more have been given entry to that exclusive Hollywood club no one really wants to be in.
M Night Shyamalan's latest and the most recent outing of the Twilight franchise, Eclipse, scored the most nods, with nine apiece. But there were even more deserving nominees with Sex and the City 2 and Vampires Suck scoring plenty – and the latter deserves to "win" 'em all (must… not... remember… film).
Poor old Jessica Alba came in for a rougher time than she suffered at the hands of Casey Affleck in T**he Killer Inside Me**, scooping a Worst Supporting Actress nomination for every film she appeared in this year as one big block (which seems a bit unfair to her performance in that serial killer drama, but then the Razzies are not exactly known for subtlety or, indeed, fairness). Still, we have to agree with the new category, taking aim at "the most eye-gouging mis-use of 3D."
The Razzies will be given out on February 26, the night before the Oscars, and the full list of nominees is below.

FIREFIGHTERS were called to a country house in Dorset after a bonfire got out of control and spread to a summer house.
Crews from Dorchester, Bere Regis and Wareham were sent to Athelhampton House, where pupils from Lytchett Minster School were having their year 11 prom event, at around 6pm on Friday.
Firefighters found that flames from a bonfire had spread to the summer house, which was built from wood.
It was left badly damaged and some grass was also affected.
Dorset Fire and Rescue Service has reminded people to take care as to where they position bonfires, especially in hot, dry weather, and to have a hose pipe on standby.
The school's event was unaffected by the incident.

Washington: A third potential case of the dangerous Middle East Respiratory Virus (MERS) has been found in the US, health authorities say.
"Two of the 20 team members exposed to the confirmed MERS patient are showing symptoms," said Geo Morales, spokesman for the Orlando hospital where one infected patient was treated.
"One of the two has been admitted to the hospital but is in stable condition. The other was treated and discharged, and is following precautions at home. All 20 team members have been tested and we are expecting those results within the next day or two," the spokesman added on Tuesday.
The second infected US patient was confirmed on May 10. The man, 44, is a health care worker who resides and works in Saudi Arabia. He travelled by plane on May 1 from Jeddah to London, then to Boston, Atlanta and Orlando, officials from the Centres for Disease Control and Prevention told reporters.
The US announced its first case earlier this month, a health care worker who had travelled to Riyadh at the end of April.
MERS causes fever, coughing and shortness of breath, and can be lethal particularly among older people and those with pre-existing health problems.
About 30 per cent of the several hundred people infected with it have died, according to the US Centres for Disease Control and Prevention.

Burrell finds its girls hoops coach
Meghan Ziemianski, who guided Highlands' girls basketball team to four consecutive trips to the WPIAL Class AAA playoffs, was hired Tuesday as coach of the Class AA Burrell girls squad.
Ziemianski, a Burrell graduate, stepped down as coach at Highlands after the 2010-11 season.
She was approved by an 8-0 vote and received a one-year contract for $5,024 from Burrell last night.
Last season, Ziemianski coached Highlands to records of 5-15 overall and 2-8 in Section 1-AAA. The Golden Rams finished in a three-way tie for fourth place and barely kept alive their streak of four consecutive trips to the postseason.
Before Ziemianski's first season at Highlands, the Golden Rams' previous trip to the playoffs was in 1975.
Last season, Burrell ended up 7-15 overall and 6-8 in Section 1-AA and missed the playoffs for the second consecutive year. Ziemianski takes over for Brian Sharick, who left after three seasons.
Meghan's father, Mark, coached the Burrell girls and boys varsity teams at various times in the past.
One day before Ziemianski was hired at Burrell, the Golden Rams replaced her with Ron Lang, who's a school board member at Highlands. Lang was approved as a volunteer coach and won't be paid.
Neither Ziemianski or Lang could be reached for comment.
In other coach news, Burrell hired Michael Larko as girls volleyball coach, pending the usual clearances. He will receive a one-year, $2,191 contract.

Yugoslavia seeks return to UN
Yugoslavia's new government has requested membership of the United Nations - a move which could bring an end to Belgrade's current twilight status within the world body.
The request came as President Vojislav Kostunica visited Moscow, where President Vladimir Putin expressed support for the new Belgrade government.
Yugoslavia has was a founder member of the UN in 1945, but its status has been uncertain since the republics of Slovenia, Croatia, Bosnia-Herzegovina and Macedonia seceded from the federation in 1992.
The UN Security Council ruled that rump Yugoslavia could not inherit the old Yugoslavia's UN membership, and Belgrade must reapply to be re-admitted.
The previous Yugoslav Government, led by Slobodan Milosevic, did not re-apply, and its representative at the UN was not allowed to sit in the assembly.
Russian relations
President Kostunica and President Putin met on Friday, during the Yugoslav leader's brief first state visit to Moscow.
Russian gas supplies to Yugoslavia had been cut off earlier this year because of unpaid bills totalling more than $400m.
The two leaders also said in a joint statement that Kosovo, where most of the population is ethnic Albanian, must remain part of Yugoslavia.
Mr Kostunica's visit to Russia - his fourth foreign trip since becoming president this month - is his most sensitive so far, because of Moscow's staunch support for former President Slobodan Milosevic.
The joint statement gave no details of the energy deal, which Yugoslavia urgently needs with winter fast approaching.
He made a point of praising Mr Kostunica for orchestrating a peaceful transition and leading Yugoslavia out of international isolation.
Making up
BBC Russian affairs analyst Stephen Dalziel says the visit is "a fine example of how pragmatism often triumphs in international diplomacy".
Mr Putin and the Russian parliament were quick to accept the result given out by Slobodan Milosevic's camp, following the Yugoslav presidential election on 24 September.
Belgrade's old regime accepted that Mr Kostunica had come first, but said he had not achieved the necessary 50% plus one vote.
Moscow has taken up Yugoslavia's cause ever since Mr Kostunica's election was confirmed, calling for the scrapping of all sanctions imposed on the country by the international community.

Scientific experts now believe we have in-built mechanisms that can fight and reverse the aging process. Innovative research into the reversal of aging is well underway and, while scientists debate the many different theories, research has revealed that meditation dramatically affects the production of three important hormones related to stress, longevity and aging.
Cortisol, DHEA and Melatonin.
Cortisol, the 'stress hormone', is naturally produced by the adrenal glands. Our bodies produce cortisol (and adrenaline) when we react to stress. Long term or chronic stress however means that the body is over exposed to these hormones, and this can lead to increased anxiety, depression, an inability to cope, and ultimately, physical illness.
David Zava, Ph.D., a … Read more »
According to the American Academy of Anti-Aging Medicine, 90% of all adult illness is due to the degenerative processes of aging. Anti-aging medicine, aiming for longevity and optimal health, is most certainly the 'specialty' of the future and is based on the early detection, prevention and reversal of age-related disease. While science continues to search for answers, research has already revealed that meditation is a potent anti-aging practice that can take years off your physiological age.
Aging is most certainly a complex issue with many factors coming into play, but one thing that researchers do agree on is that stress (mental, emotional, and physical) causes us to age.

ABC: "Zen" is the Japanese word and "Ch'an" is the Chinese word derived from the Sanskrit word "Dhyana" meaning "meditation." Zen began in China back in the 6th century CE. Zen is practiced all around the world and has recently found a huge following in the United States.
Zen Buddhism focuses on gaining enlightenment through meditation. Zen is a means to reaching enlightenment. Zen declines the study of scriptures, devotional practices and any religious rites (Source: Encyclopedia Britannica). Some of the key beliefs of Zen focus on The Four Noble Truths and The Noble Eightfold Path:
New York Times: One night during my training, long after all the other doctors had fled the hospital, I found a senior surgeon still on the wards working on a patient note. He was a surgeon with extraordinary skill, a doctor of few words whose folksy quips had become the stuff of department legend. "I'm sorry you're still stuck here," I said, walking up to him.
He looked up from the chart. "I'm not working tomorrow, so I'm just fine."
I had just reviewed the next day's operating room schedule and knew he had a full day of cases. I began to contradict him, but he held his hand up to stop me.

The Daily Reflector: There is sorrow at hospitals. People are in accidents or ill, and some pass away.
But there also is joy. Babies are born, wounds are healed.
Pitt County Memorial Hospital hopes to welcome people with that range of emotions in a new interfaith chapel early next year. Construction began on the facility last week, located just left of the main entrance.
Sara Davenport, a board member with the Pitt Memorial Hospital Foundation, led the project committee. She wants the chapel to be somewhere "anybody can come" to pray, meditate, find solitude or celebrate in their own way.

UPI: Training in mindfulness meditation and communication can alleviate the psychological stress and burnout experienced by many physicians, U.S. researchers say.
Dr. Michael S. Krasner, an associate professor of clinical medicine at the University of Rochester Medical Center in New York who was the study leader, says the training can also expand a physician's capacity to relate to patients and enhance patient-centered care.
Mindful communication utilizes the techniques of meditation to help people maintain an open and non-judgmental outlook as they tackle everyday tasks, Krasner explains.
"From the patient's perspective, we hear all too often of dissatisfaction in the quality of presence from their physician," Krasner said in a statement. "From the practitioner's perspective, … Read more »

So I was thrilled to find a 2003 research article from the journal Psychosomatic Medicine (not my usual bedside reading) on how meditation could help us in fighting the flu.
Meditation may seem like an Eastern concept, but in fact it is well grounded in Western religion in the form of prayer. In Joshua 1:8, God says to meditate on His word day and night.

But such activities are only one part of a comprehensive program described in the book, Greenspan says, which aims to help all areas of development that influence attention.

Hodge Jones & Allen Solicitors represents Grow HeathrowPosted: August 13th, 2012 | Author: Joe | Filed under: legal, Media | Tags: court | 1 Comment »
Good news on the court case front. Grow Heathrow now has one of the best legal firms in the country representing us in what is described as a "ground-breaking case" on the Hodge Jones & Allen Solicitors website.
Assisting Lindsay Johnson of Doughty Street Chambers who has put in a tireless amount of work and effort on the case so far off his own back, Jayesh Kunwardia, partner in the Housing team at Hodge Jones & Allen and who specialises in Housing Law said:
"This is a ground breaking case which will define whether every single possession claim in relation to an Assured Shorthold Tenancy or on a mandatory ground for possession will require a proportionality assessment."
Although the owner's possession claim has been accepted, Grow Heathrow, whose case was heard at the Central London County Court on 18th July, has been granted a stay of eviction and leave to appeal under Article 8 of the Human Rights Act by Judge Karen Walden-Smith, which guarantees the right to a home and family life. Walden-Smith stated that "the Supreme Court has so far shied away from reaching a determination as to whether Article 8 applies to private as well as public landlords".
More information on the case can be found on The Guardian website: http://www.guardian.co.uk/environment/2012/jul/18/heathrow-squatters-ruling-housing-law

According to the code in

There seems no way to choose from the file system directly.

'Orphan Black' Season 3 Premiere To Air Across All AMC Networks
20 Comments
BBC America is such a disappointment. For each rare quality series, like Orphan Black, there is mostly night after night of re-runs and junky shows. This new move will further dilute interest in watching the channel. I'd had hopes that it would show UK Tv shows… but it is just not a destination for that. With Orphan Black now available on AMC, WE, etc… there's even less reason to watch BBC America.
This is a one time deal to ATTRACT more attention to BBC America. I fail to see how this is a bad thing.
Only the premiere will be shown on all of them. Rest of the season will be only on BBCA
OMG… Please re-read the article. The Season 3 premiere will be simulcast – not the entire season. LOL
If you haven't watched the show before your not going to know whats going on. It will be confusing. so unless they are starting from the first show this is a dumb move
How is it dumb exactly? If 4 people who never watched before see it on AMC — who never would've found it on BBC America– and 1 decides to catch up/watch from there then that's 1 more viewers than the show had before. And it's no pressure on/off Orphan Black which still has it's BBC America home.
Don't know programming and PR is for you. Press, promotion and talk is a very good thing for cult shows.
I agree. If I'm interested in this show at all why would I watch Season 3 of a serial show like this which can only serve to confuse me and give spoilers for the episodes I haven't seen yet? It would be better if they ran the first episode across all channels a week or so ahead of the season 3 premiere. Then if ppl like what they see they can binge watch it for a week and drive the premiere numbers up organically.
It is a Brainiac Move. Is it APRIL 18th? No? Then there's plenty of time to watch Seasons 1 &2. You can even see entire episode for FREE on YouTube, as well as other outlets.
does AMC plan on rerunning all of the episode? Because if not they really should
It may be even better for the show's viewership – and for it's Emmy's chances – if AMC shows re-runs of the previous 2 seasons on its channel.
hopefully they will play the re-runs on AMC prior to the premiere…AMC is very open to show marathons (IE: Walking Dead, Hell on Wheels) great idea for them to do this with Orphan Black, too
i hope they run it on abc – bbc america was removed from our cable lineup, which was really dumb on broadstripes part!!!!
More people would watch Orphan Black season 3 if they run the whole first 2 seasons on AMC.
I watch on Amazon – bingewatch – facinating.
I'll be glad when this show gets canceled. I hope it gets canceled soon. I'll be waiting for this show to be canceled.
If you have to use the word cancelled repeatedly for lack of vocabulary, make sure you know how to spell it.
both spellings are correct
I really don't like to take time out to educate people but here goes. Dear grizz. I spelled 'canceled' correctly. What you refer to as my "lack of vocabulary" was a paraphrase from a line in the movie "The Little Foxes" in which Bette Davis uttered to her terminally ill husband" : I hope you die!, I hope you die soon!, I'll be waiting for you to die!" If you're going to post your ignorance on these threads for all the world to see the be prepared for an onslaught of rebuke. Have a wonderful, wonderful day.
They're portraying this as science fiction when in fact it is merely an action/thriller series with just a pinch of sci-fi thrown in to draw a wider audience. The science on cloning lost its appeal after Dolly made the news way back in 1996. When was the last time you heard about cloning in the news? It was controversial at one time but now it is old hat.

HOUSTON - A Houston-area couple is questioning the level of federal and state scrutiny they faced in a less than three-year period, following the filing of tax-exempt applications with the Internal Revenue Service.
"For a very long time my thought was to not talk about this and keep my head down," said Catherine Engelbrecht.
Engelbrecht said her odyssey through government bureaucracy began with a desire to get involved. Engelbrecht founded True The Vote and the King Street Patriots in June of 2010.
"I felt like the only way we could make a difference would be if I got involved," said Engelbrecht.
Engelbrecht said King Street is a pro-liberty organization, educating citizens on civic issues. Many King Street Patriots meetings are recorded and posted on the organization's website. True the Vote, according to Engelbrecht, works to ensure the integrity of elections. Both organizations share office space in northwest Houston, but Engelbrecht says both operate separately and with different purposes.
Engelbrecht said she filed applications with the IRS to have True the Vote declared a 501 (c) 3 tax-exempt organization and King Street Patriots declared a 501 (c) 4. A 501 (c) 3 is a charitable organization prohibited from engaging in any "political activity", aside from non-partisan education or relief efforts. A 501 (c) 4 is a charitable organization that can only engage in limited "political activity", according to information on the IRS website.
Engelbrecht said she filed for these tax exemptions in July of 2010 and still has not received a determination from the IRS. On May 20, 2013, officials with True The Vote filed a federal lawsuit against the IRS. The suit is asking for the IRS to make a determination on the organization's tax exempt status and is seeking at least $85,000 in costs Engelbrecht said were incurred answering a myriad questions from the IRS regarding the group's activities.
"We have answered close to 300 questions, we have filed thousands of documents with the IRS, and our application is still pending," said Engelbrecht.
The lawsuit claims the IRS "deliberately delayed" True The Vote's application because of its affiliations with King Street Patriots. The lawsuit claims True The Vote was forced to "forfeit foundational grants and other fundraising opportunities" because of delays in the IRS processing of its application for tax-exempt status.
The lawsuit cites a recent Treasury Department Inspector General report that determined the IRS used "inappropriate criteria" to identify tax-exempt applications for review. The report stated, starting in May of 2010, IRS employees "were asked to search for applications with Tea Party, Patriots or 9/12 in the organization's name as well as other 'political sounding' names". The report stated some of these organizations have had their applications open anywhere from 206 to 1,138 calendar days.
The Inspector General's report also noted that IRS officials stated "the criteria were not influenced by any individual or organization outside the IRS".
In addition to the questions regarding True The Vote's application, Engelbrecht is also questioning the timing and level of scrutiny her family and their business received since filing with the IRS in July of 2010.
"Just shy of three years, we've had 18 different encounters, in one form or fashion, from the government," said Engelbrecht.
Engelbrecht said she and her husband have both been personally audited by the IRS. Engelbrecht said their Rosenberg business, Engelbrecht Manufacturing, Inc., was also audited. Engelbrecht said she has also been contacted five times by the FBI's domestic terrorism unit. Engelbrecht said two of those contacts were meetings with agents seeking information about a person who attended a King Street Patriot meeting.
"Well, we have his name on a sign in sheet and that's it," Engelbrecht said of her knowledge of the person FBI agents were inquiring about.
Engelbrecht characterized the three other FBI contacts as follow-up phone calls.
"The following three contacts were not about that person, but rather about whether or not we had anything we needed to report," said Engelbrecht.
FBI officials said Engelbrecht was not under investigation.
"Pursuant to FBI policy, it would not be appropriate to comment on the nature of routine contacts made in the course of FBI business. I would caution you from assuming there would be an investigation simply because contact is alleged. Our agents talk with hundreds of people each week in the course of our work. Often, the contact may be as simple as a phone call. We routinely and pro-actively engage the public, and more importantly, have an obligation to do so in matters of mutual interest," FBI Special Agent Shauna Dunlap wrote in a response to Local 2 Investigates.
In addition to the FBI contacts, the Engelbrecht's business was also inspected twice by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms. Once in 2012 and again in 2013. Engelbrecht said she and her husband were considering diversifying the business and in 2009 the company secured a federal license to manufacture gun parts. However, Engelbrecht said the company has not yet begun manufacturing those parts.
An ATF spokesperson told Local 2 since the business received its license in 2009, the Bureau needed to conduct an inspection within a three year period, as is routine for other similar businesses. While prohibited from discussing the specifics of an inspection, an ATF spokesperson said the 2013 inspection was either a separate inspection or a follow-up to the first inspection because deficiencies were noted. However, the ATF said a follow-up inspection would be of an "educational, not punitive" nature.
In July of 2012 the Occupational Safety and Health Administration also inspected Engelbrecht Manufacturing. According to OSHA records, the company was fined $24,850 for nine "serious" violations. Those violations included a door not labeled as "not an exit," a lack of safe clearance in aisles, forklift operators not wearing seatbelts, an employee not having the proper type of eye protection, a forklift operator that did not have proper training or certification, no safety guard over a saw blade and an air grinder, a milling machine not anchored to the floor, multiple pieces of equipment plugged into one outlet and containers not having proper hazardous materials labels. Inspectors also noted the shop did not have any "repeated, willful or failure-to-abate" violations. OSHA records show the company paid a negotiated fine of $14,910.
According to an OSHA database of inspections, the July 2012 inspection was the only one conducted at Engelbrecht Manufacturing since it began operations in 1995. An OSHA spokesperson told Local 2 the inspection was prompted by an initiative to inspect the safety of fabricated metal operations in Texas, New Mexico, Oklahoma, Louisiana and Arkansas.
In November of 2012 the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality also inspected Engelbrecht Manufacturing after officials received an anonymous complaint.
"The TCEQ received a complaint against Engelbrecht Manufacturing in October, alleging improper handling of metal shavings. TCEQ investigated, and we are requiring the company to obtain required storm water permits and take other actions to prevent discharge of industrial solid waste. Complaints are confidential, under Texas rule. TCEQ performs an average of 4,500 compliant investigations per year," TCEQ spokesperson Terry Clawson wrote in a response to Local 2. "The TCEQ can state without reservation that we were not directed to investigate Engelbrecht Manufacturing by any federal agency or any other agency." A database maintained by the TCEQ shows this was the only inspection of Engelbrecht Manufacturing since it began operations.
"In twenty years we've never faced any scrutiny until these last three years," said Engelbrecht. "Prior to filing those non-profit applications we'd never heard hide-nor-hair of any of these agencies."
Engelbrecht said taken on an individual basis she does not question the authority or the purpose of any of these government visits. Engelbrecht said her questions are about timing and frequency.
"They've all be very polite, very professional, they've all just been doing their job," said Engelbrecht. "It's just stepping back and saying, 'why now, why so many, why all at once?'"
Engelbrecht said it was these questions that prompted her to reach out to Republican Congressman Ted Poe.
"It's not a coincidence at all," said Poe.
Poe told Local 2 Investigates, congressional leaders with the Oversight, Ways and Means and Judiciary Committees have been looking into the circumstances surrounding the Engelbrechts, but no conclusions have been reached yet.
"There's now more than just the Engelbrechts involved. There are numerous organizations where this same type of accusation has been made," said Poe. "That's why myself and others have asked for more congressional investigations."
Engelbrecht said for a while she thought maybe all of this was just bad luck. Engelbrecht said it wasn't until after she saw the Inspector General's report that she decided to speak publicly.
"You come to the pretty quick conclusion that the best way to protect my family is to take the story to the people," said Engelbrecht. "I don't want to be the person that goes out and says we were absolutely being singled out and targeted, but I do think it bares taking a closer look at."
