An eighteen year old female, identified as Chevy Stephen, 18, sustained a broken nose, a dislocated shoulder and other injuries when she said she was attacked on Tuesday of this week by a pregnant woman and another female.
The teenager told the Times that the incident occurred at about 9:PM in Piaye, Laborie.
According to reports, Stephen was on the sidewalk and happened to make body contact while passing with the pregnant woman who was identified as a friend of her father.
Stephen reported that after the contact was made, the woman started hurling insults at her.
She told the Times that she recalled telling the woman that she was not afraid of her, whereupon the woman slapped her.
According to Stephen, the assailant's sister joined in and both started kicking and punching her until she collapsed on the ground.
She told the Times that some men who witnessed the incident intervened and she was later taken to the hospital with multiple injuries.
Stephen, who lives with her mother, disclosed that her father, and mother are currently going through a divorce.
Family members have said that the father's woman friend has had a history of insulting and physically assaulting Stephen and her sister.
They say that the situation has been ongoing for the past eight years and that a number of complaints have been filed with the Police.
One family member recalled that about three years ago a Magistrate had placed the assailant on a bond after an incident in which she attacked Stephen's sister.
Police are investigating the latest incident.

I got an iPhone 3G two years ago and I loved it. It was fast, easy to use, and beautiful. Since then I've fallen out of love and every time it takes the phone 5-10 seconds to show a new text message I have to resist the urge to smash it. I was never very pleased with my high cell phone bill or the accompanying contract, or the fact that it'll probably be a long time before I'm allowed to run Firefox on the phone.
I thought long and hard about getting an iPhone 4 because it would solve some major problems (speed, screen quality) and despite the other issues the user experience is just amazing. However, I decided to go with a solution that also solves the other problems. In total I wanted better phone performance, a nicer screen, better network service, the ability to run Firefox, I don't want a contract, and I want to pay significantly less for service than I do now. I chose to go with a Nexus One from Google on T-Mobile and so far I'm pretty happy.
The T-Mobile plan I chose has no contract, 1000 any time minutes, unlimited text messaging, and unlimited internet for $70. The AT&T plan I had has a 2-year contract, 900 any time minutes, 1500 text messages, and unlimited internet for $105. T-Mobile reportedly has great service in New York City, so this is an easy choice.
The Nexus One is sold unlocked, it's fast, thin, has a beautiful screen, gets Android updates quickly, and runs the only two third party apps I really care about – MLB At Bat and Firefox. My only two issues are that the Android OS is generally less polished than iPhone's iOS and MLB At Bat for Android is junk compared to the iPhone edition.

I've been stuck in the studio catching up on several remixes and songs for my next album. I would never forget about my blog readers so while I was there today I shot three videos of my Roland SH3 in action.
The Roland SH3 was produced in 1974. It is more rare than the SH3A which was put into the market after Moog sued Roland for the original SH3's filter design. This is one reason the Roland SH3 sounds so incredible. Rumor has it that less than 100 of these were ever made.
You can hear pure Roland SH3 accompanied by an Electrocomp-101 in two of my songs: Room of Posers and Sex Machine.
Be sure to check out the other two Roland SH3 videos I put up here:

4x4 off-road safari. Egypt. Sinai desert
More than half of all respondents to an online survey at tomorrowsgaspricetoday.com?cited that fuel economy is their biggest concern when buying a new car.
Reliability/warranty came in second at just under 29 per cent; style/colour and domestic vs. import both weighed in at about 6 per cent, and insurance cost and cheapest deal both fared about 3 per cent. Safety ratings were last on the list, at just 2.6 per cent.?(Survey is ongoing, so online results may change daily.)
Keep in mind this is an unscientific survey. Results may be skewed, since it?s obviously people concerned about gas prices who visit this website the most.
More: Does anyone care about pick-up truck fuel economy?
More: For once, gas price shopping in Toronto actually pays off
But if gas prices are a top concern among Ontario motorists, you wouldn?t know it from the number of large vehicles on our highways.
Rather than actually buying fuel-efficient compacts or subcompacts, everyone seems to justify why they need a bigger car: such as kids, cottage trips, etc.
My question for these rationalizers is: Why do you have two large vehicles instead of one small car for daily commuting and one larger vehicle for family trips?
In my Richmond Hill neighbourhood, oversized luxury SUVs with a single occupant and no visible cargo are commonplace. Do drivers truly need these gas-guzzlers, or do they choose them as an in-your-face status symbol?
Survey responses don?t always reflect a person?s true opinion, as evidenced by their actions. So how do actual sales numbers pan out?
With GTA gas prices now surpassing $1.30 per litre, interest in fuel-efficient cars has soared ? but so have large SUV sales.
Ford Canada reports January sales of the Fusion jumped by 84 per cent and the Fusion Hybrid by 427 per cent (although the base number was small). However, sales of the huge Expedition and the Lincoln Navigator were also up 11 and 33 per cent, respectively, and truck sales overall were up from the previous year.
When gas prices soar, there?s often a spike in compact-car sales. But there?s no escaping the fact that North Americans love their large vehicles.

(VOV) - The Vietnamese embassy in France has given EUR8,566 and US$2,140 to victims of Agent Orange/dioxin.
All money was raised by Vietnamese labourers, businesses, retirees, volunteers, students and staff of the country's representative offices in France.
Vietnamese ambassador to France, Duong Chi Dung, highly appreciated the actions of OVs towards the fatherland and considered their gifts to be both practical and meaningful for AO/dioxin victims who are suffering.
Nguyen Duc Khuong, a Vietnamese student in France, said the students association will hold an event in September or October to learn more about the AO disaster.
The event is expected to call on French friends to further support AO/dioxin victims, he said.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. — The Kansas City Chiefs have waived 11 players and placed safety Sanders Commings on injured reserve as they pare down their roster before the first deadline.
The Chiefs have 78 players on their active roster. They need to have 75 by Tuesday afternoon.
Wide receiver Weston Dressler, a star in the CFL, was among the first round of cuts. Also waived were wide receivers Darryl Surgent, Jerrell Jackson and Deon Anthony, defensive backs Jerron McMillian, Brandon Jones and Vernon Kearney, defensive lineman Jairus Campbell, offensive lineman Otis Hudson and former Emporia State University tight end Adam Schiltz.
The Chiefs play Green Bay on Thursday night in their final preseason game. The roster must then be trimmed to 53 players by Saturday afternoon.
CHARLES, BERRY RETURN TO PRACTICE: Chiefs running back Jamaal Charles and safety Eric Berry returned to practice Monday after dealing with injuries. Left tackle Eric Fisher was absent due to an illness.
Berry has missed most of the past couple weeks with a heel injury. Charles has been out the past two preseason games after hurting his foot while moving out of the dorms at the Chiefs' training camp headquarters at Missouri Western.
Coach Andy Reid was not available to discuss their status for Thursday night's preseason finale in Green Bay. Normally, Reid does not play his starters in the fourth preseason game, but a lackluster effort against Minnesota on Saturday night might cause him to change his approach. He indicated afterward that some starters could play against the Packers.
CARSON LEADS TGA SENIOR: Dave Carson fired an even-par 71 Monday at Topeka Country Club to claim the first-round lead in the TGA City Senior Championship. Carson, who has posted numerous top-10 finishes in the City Stroke Play including a fifth this year, takes a two-shot lead over Bill McDonald into Tuesday's final round. McDonald carded a 73, while Ron Anderson is three back after a 74, Mike Gibson is five back after a 76 and Jerry Kruger is six back after a 77. Play begins with a 12:30 p.m. shotgun start Tuesday at Topeka Country Club.

Sensitive and Specific Peak Detection for SELDI-TOF Mass Spectrometry Using a Wavelet/Neural-Network Based Approach
Monday, November 12, 2012
Vincent A. Emanuele II et al.
by Vincent A. Emanuele II, Gitika Panicker, Brian M. Gurbaxani, Jin-Mann S. Lin, Elizabeth R. Unger
SELDI-TOF mass spectrometer's compact size and automated, high throughput design have been attractive to clinical researchers, and the platform has seen steady-use in biomarker studies. Despite new algorithms and preprocessing pipelines that have been developed to address reproducibility issues, visual inspection of the results of SELDI spectra preprocessing by the best algorithms still shows miscalled peaks and systematic sources of error. This suggests that there continues to be problems with SELDI preprocessing. In this work, we study the preprocessing of SELDI in detail and introduce improvements. While many algorithms, including the vendor supplied software, can identify peak clusters of specific mass (or m/z) in groups of spectra with high specificity and low false discover rate (FDR), the algorithms tend to underperform estimating the exact prevalence and intensity of peaks in those clusters. Thus group differences that at first appear very strong are shown, after careful and laborious hand inspection of the spectra, to be less than significant. Here we introduce a wavelet/neural network based algorithm which mimics what a team of expert, human users would call for peaks in each of several hundred spectra in a typical SELDI clinical study. The wavelet denoising part of the algorithm optimally smoothes the signal in each spectrum according to an improved suite of signal processing algorithms previously reported (the LibSELDI toolbox under development). The neural network part of the algorithm combines those results with the raw signal and a training dataset of expertly called peaks, to call peaks in a test set of spectra with approximately 95% accuracy. The new method was applied to data collected from a study of cervical mucus for the early detection of cervical cancer in HPV infected women. The method shows promise in addressing the ongoing SELDI reproducibility issues.

"Nailed it."Yesterday, I asked you, "Can you describe Jacksfilms here?"Here are your best answers.Jack Douglass is an American filmmaker, comedian, and musician, who runs the YouTube channel Jacksfilms, which has become the home of several of his series.His best-known series used to be a weekly Long Runner called Your Grammar Sucks, where he reads aloud grammatically-painful and typo-laden comments left on YouTube and Facebook. Amongst regular episodes, the series contained specials ranging from songs made entirely out of badly-written comments or skits. The first "season" of YGS ended on November 20th 2015 with its hundredth episode, a huge hour-long special. Jack has confirmed that Season 2 will not contain any specials.It is now Yesterday I Asked You, or for short, YIAY.His series and upload schedules are as follows (do note that Jack doesn't always follow these schedules):
- PMS (Parodies, Music Videos, Sketches), which is Exactly What It Says on the Tin. Premieres every Monday.
- YGS (Your Grammar Sucks), a long-running series poking fun at grammatically-painful and typo-laden Internet comments, and his second most well-known series to-date. Usually it premieres every damn Friday.
- JackAsk, a sarcastic Q&A show. Premieres every Wednesday.note
- GamerGod88, an occasional series of fake Let's Play videos and streams. GamerGod88 has his own Twitch account at twitch.tv/gamergodlivenote , and he has been uploading streams of games like Team Fortress 2. Jack has since admitted that he may stop the Twitch streams since he doesn't feel like it's for him.
- YIAY (Yesterday I Asked You), previously a daily show, now broadcasted on Tuesdays and Thursdays, where Jack reads aloud fan-submitted answers to questions he poses to them. Is unique since it's his only series to start on his second channel and continue on his main channel (it made the transition after 13 episodes). It is also his most well-known series to date.
Examples of tropes in Jacksfilms videos:
- Adam Westing: In "50 Facts You Can't Even", Matthew Santoro stars as himself, parodying his own "50 Amazing Facts To Blow Your Mind" videos.
- Affectionate Parody: His parody of Sherlock gained some controversy from viewers who thought he was disrespecting the series. Jack replied that it was "a parody FROM a fan TO the fans", and that making a parody couldn't pay it any higher praise.
- Alcohol-Induced Idiocy: Chad's antics make frat boys look like teetotalers by comparison.
- Alternative Character Interpretation: His interpretation of Kermit the Frog as a surly, bitter drunk with frequent fantasies of violence.
- Ambiguously Evil
- Angrish: Those comments in ALL CAPS in Your Grammar Sucks.
- Artifact Title: The questions in Yesterday I Asked You aren't asked the day before the episode any more. They are now asked about a week beforehand so that Jack can stockpile episodes.
- Audience Participation:
- A Jacksfilms first, YGS #50 and #60 include fan submissions.
- Not to mention most (if not all) of YGS' material comes from user-submitted comment screencaps.
- Jackask, where all the questions come directly from fans.
- YIAY (Yesterday I Asked You) where he asks his fans, called biches, certain questions and features the best and funniest of their answers in his videos.
- Auto-Tune: Parodied in Dubstep Solves Everything 3 when Auto-Tune Jesus is called upon.
- Basso Profundo: Once Justin Bieber hits puberty. Becomes exaggerated when he hits super puberty.note
- Be Careful What You Wish For: In Fixing Your Flags, one user smugly challenged Jack to fix the Australia flag. So how does Jack fix it? Turning it into the British Flag.
- Bilingual Bonus: The YGS comments in Spanish and Portuguese, which he'll read in a hokey Latin accent, while pronouncing laughter ("jajaja") with the English J.
- Bread, Eggs, Milk, Squick:
- His list of curse words in JackAsk #8.
I Love Rock and Roll
- The list of songs in Frozen 2:
Rolling Stones
Pebble For Your Thoughts
Elsa's Dead Parents
Live, laugh, love, arson
- One answer for THE MEANING OF LIFE (in four words):
- Brick Joke: In "Escape the Friendzone" (YIAY #89), one commenter leaves an answer to the question from YIAY #88 (superhero names and powers) instead:Name: Internet Explorer
Superpower: Too late to post a comment.
- Broken Record: The candy cane song ("stab x16"). Even more so when he re-sang the song in a promo video for his YouNow chat that he was doing that day, when the aforementioned "stab" part is looped extensively to the point where people in the comments report hearing an entirely new word.
- Brutal Honesty: His song "Drama Is More Popular Than Content", made based on the YouTube drama that has been plaguing the platform for the past while.Drama is more popular than content
Why even try to create?
Drama is more popular than content
It's so much easier to hate.
- Butt-Monkey:
- Kristen. Even retroactively, in YGS #48 when the line "i thinking now on my girlfriend" brings up a picture of Jack himself in drag rather than Kristen. Although this is justified by them having broken up by then.
- Thanks to the fan submissions, Olga Kay. OH OLGA.
- Billy in the Kermit animations, whom Kermit picks on more than any of the other students.
- Call-Back:
- In "Scary Stories with Kermit", Kermit uses the line "shut up, sh-shut up," in reference to GamerGod88's first Dark Souls 2 video.
- For a YIAY thumbnail for a video about the best place to hide a body, Jack re-donned the Dexter getup that he had worn four years prior in a Dexter parody sketch.
- The Cameo: Jack appears briefly in the music video of Ninja Sex Party's "Cookies!", only surviving for a good five or so seconds before Ninja Brian breaks his neck.
- Carpet of Virility: Despite his boyish face, he has a surprisingly hairy chest.
- Catch-Phrase:
- Since Your Grammar Sucks #1, he's used the word "biches" to refer to his fans. In fact, a lot of his Catch Phrases originated from Your Grammar Sucks. Quite a few of them also double as Running Gags.
- "That's almost a hundred..."Explanation:
- Becomes an Ironic Echo when Jack does it in YGS #99.
- ":a what a fucke?!" Explanation
- "Oh, Olga!" Explanation
- "Nailed it."
- "Help me clean up YouTube! If you see an amazingly bad comment on the Internet, take a screencap of it and send it my way either via Twitter or my Facebook fanpage." Explanation
- "Let me know if I nailed it or failed it."
- "Cool cool" has become one as of late, mainly through YIAY.
- Nowadays he ends episodes of YIAY with "Godspeed."
- When he gets two contradicting comments in YIAY (ex: "fuck bitches get money", "get bitches fuck money"), he'll say "Which one do I believe?"
- Clip Show: The Best Of Your Grammar Sucks special. And the second one. And the third one. And the fourth one.
- Clothing Damage: With some of the angry comments, he'll rip his shirt.
- Cluster F-Bomb/Cluster Bleep-Bomb: When Justin Bieber searches up puberty and then super puberty in this video.
- Cock Fight: The plot of Dubstep Solves Everything 3.
- Corpsing: Sometimes in Your Grammar Sucks; see Drinking Game below.
- The Cover Changes the Meaning: His ballad-esque cover of Will Smith's "Gettin' Jiggy With It".
- Curse Cut Short: Often used in YIAY or Jackask.
- Dark Reprise: Not dark, but melancholy. At the end of YGS #99, Jack sings a very ballad-y reprise of the series's outro jingle. It hits HARD.
- A Date with Rosie Palms: Implied to unbearable extents in "Strokemeister" and its follow-up "Wiggledix".Jack: It has no batteries, so you'll do all the stroking yourself.
- Disappeared Dad:
Jack: So I asked you all on Twitter, "what do you want for Christmas?" Here are your best answers: "a dad", "A dad", "a dad", "a dad", "your Mum.", "my dad", "My dad to come back", "my dad to come back", "my dad to come back from the store"-aw, is that what he told you?-, "my dad to finally call me son". Dark.
- Referenced in Jackask #38, where most of the answers to his Twitter question (what do you want for Christmas?) are along the lines of "a dad"/"my dad to come home".
- Gets a Call-Back in the following week's PMS, "9 New Christmas Songs".
- And in "Top 10 Top 10 Lists'", when one of the "top 10 words from 2014 that should stay in 2014" is 'dad', and Jack adding "dads aren't even real".
- Drinking Game: Exclusive to the 'Chad' episodes of Your Grammar Sucks, where Chad has to knock one back every time he corpses or otherwise flubs the reading.
- Dude, Not Funny!:
- In-universe; Jack's reaction to serious comments in YIAY will actually be more of a "dude, not UNfunny" sort of thing, since Jack will seem very shocked by the comment and might even tell the commenter to calm down, stating that YIAY is a comedy show.
- In one episode of YIAY, Jack read off some answers that viewers gave him of book sequels they'd like to see. One answer was The Diary of Anne Frank: Anne Goes to Hollywood. Jack even reacted with, "That's awful."
- Dull Surprise: Jack gives a major announcement at the end of Jackask #24, but only gives it a single sentence at the end of the video.Jack: New "Your Grammar Sucks" every Friday, and a new "PMS" every Monday. GamerGod88 is coming back every Saturday, [Jack cringes] Oh God.
- Entitled to Have You: The (parodied) message of "Dubstep Solves Everything 3" is that, because Jack wins a fight over the girl, he gets to have her, regardless of her wishes.
- Even the Subtitler Is Stumped: Averted with one one of the fans who sent in a book of sheet music for all of Jack's songs. As it turns out, it even has lyrics for the Dubstep song.
- Famous Last Words: A slew of them in the "perfect last words" episode of YIAY.
- Flipping the Bird: At the end of his first JackAsk.
- Funny Foreigner: Olga Kay. "Oh, Olga!"
- This also applies to a few of the other comments, as a few of them offhandedly mention their not being an English speaker.
- Fun with Acronyms:
- The mainline content is classified as Parody, Music Videos and Sketches. What's the grab-all term for them? PMS.
- His advertisements at the end of the Jackask videos (and some PMS episodes) use this as a Running Gag, making a company's name (most commonly Audible's) into an acronym. Finally lampshaded and defied in #38:Jack: "Audible" stands for... nothing. Because it's not an acronym, it's the name of a cool company that has thousands of audiobooks from which to choose from, it's not that hard to get!
- Godwin's Law / Hitler Ate Sugar: "If you don't subscribe, that's fine. You know who else didn't subscribe? Hitler."
- Grammar Nazi: He admits it comes from having studied English.
- Grand Finale: YGS #60 is played up to be this, but it ends up being averted. It was said for a while that YGS #100 would be the finale of the series, and was hyped up as this for months, only for Jack to reveal in a YIAY that the series would continue afterwards.
- Guttural Growler: Chad "Broseph" Huntington.
- Hope Spot: At the end of YGS #100, it appears as though Jack has finally managed to clean up YouTube, only for yet another bad, bad comment to show up.
- Hurricane of Puns: This instance from "Strokemeister" combines this trope with AcCENT Upon the Wrong SylLABle.Chad: Hey America! Wanna look abtastic? Then quit choking down the cheeseburgers and start stroking your way to an abnormally abstract abyss. You wanna know my abpinion? Check yourself into rehab if you don't habpen to get the reabtions you want!
- Up to Eleven in "WTF Blanket 3: Awful Pun Overload".
- Hypocritical Humor: This video.
- "You don't have to end every sentence with 'tho' tho."
- I'm a Humanitarian: In the Sherlock parody, Sherlock sees a dab of ketchup on Watson's mouth, a half-eaten burger, and a bottle of ketchup. What does he assume? Watson killed and cooked someone into that burger.
- Impossible Task: For a long time, it was getting 2 million subscribers, which was a huge Running Gag for him (to the point where he made a YIAY asking how to achieve 2 million). He eventually did it on the same day he uploaded YGS 100.
- Incredibly Long Note: From one of his JackAsk videos: "Do you wanna build a snowmaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa--"
- Intentionally Awkward Title:
- In 2008, there was a video made in which two Jacks played pool against each other. What did he decide to name the video? "Playing with Myself".
- In 2014, he released a video titled "50 Amazing Facts that will Blow Younote .
- It Makes Sense in Context: Invoked by any sketch episode, by attempting to build context for the horrific comments in sketch style. The result is an homage to Robot Chicken or AMV Hell.
- The "A what a fucke?" comments, when Jack himself has no idea what the context could possibly be.
- It's Pronounced Tro-PAY: Jack has stated that he refuses to pronounce will.i.am's name as "will-I-am" because it sounds ridiculous. He always pronounces it as "William".
- Just for Pun: "If you liked the Strokemeister, you'll throbably like WIGGLEDIX."
- Jump Scare: At the end of "'LYMPIC GAMES, 'LYMPIC GAMES", Jack runs into his green screen and it suddenly cuts to his bloody face screaming at the viewer.
- The Lancer: Cyr. Sean Klitzner, Roomie, Tobuscus, Olga, and Erin have all have filled in this role as well depending on the particular video.
- Large Ham: At points.
- Long Note Teatime: Towards the end of the Valentine's Day song. It's not even that long.
- Madness Mantra:
- Mistaken for Gay: Several JackAsk questions, especially in the first one, involve whether or not he is gay.
- Mood Whiplash/Bathos: Jack often uses these tropes to comedic effect (often overlapping with Bread, Eggs, Milk, Squick, see above):
Christmas is my favourite freaking holiday!
- In YGS:
Jack: "It's pretty bad that people wait an entire year before bringing something special back up. I'm not only talking about 9/11 but also Mother's Day, Father's Day, Valentines day... You have 365 days to tell your parents you love them. You have 365 days to tell your significant other you love them and appreciate them. And you all have 365 days to remember 9/11... So why do you only choose one day out of the year to remember? I'm sorry but it seems to me that some people use it as an excuse to be more racist than normal." Where did that come from?!
- This expletive-filled, ranting YGS entry inexplicably ends with the words "I like that", and Jack reads it accordingly.
- YGS #88's final comment has this, lampshaded by Jack:
- In PMS:
- "YouTube Is Not a Job" has Jack defending his channel as a legitimate career choice to his family before they agree to watch a video of his to convince them that he does more than just "make cat videos". Cue Jack's supposed latest video, "Top Ten Farts".
- From "#ChristmasMiracle", "We'll cuddle by the Christmas tree/Doesn't matter if you're not 18!"
- In "Christmas is my favourite freaking holiday", the songs becomes intentionally offensivenote , but then...
It's not like any other freaking holiday!
If you don't like Christmas, you're probably a Jew
And I don't want nothing to do with you
Bum bum, bum bum, bum bum ba-dum bum bum
Kermit: Ghosts aren't real, but my lust for blood is.
- Used near-constantly in the Kermit animations.
Jack: They sound like Christmas songs you know, but they're not, it's all an illusion, life isn't real, happy boxing day!
- From "9 New Christmas Songs": Candy canes, candy canes, lick 'em in a spear and kill your enemies! Stab (x16)-, and later, when ending the video:
Jack: And the number one word from 2014 that should stay in 2014... 'ebola'.
- "Top 10 Top 10 Lists" has a few instances of this: 'Top 10 Songs' is comprised mostly of (both real and fictitious) pop songs from modern artists, before abruptly ending with #1 being "At Zanarkand" by Nobuo Uematsu. 'Top 10 Shades of Grey' ends with #1 being "my soul". And probably the biggest use comes from 'Top 10 words from 2014 that should stay in 2014', when the background music even cuts out when Jack reveals the number one word to be 'ebola'.
- Jack uses this trope in almost every episode of YIAY, ending with a somewhat thoughtful comment, immediately followed by a joke one. Sometimes, he just ends the video on the serious comment, although this trope is still in play.
- In YGS:
- Mr. Fanservice: The pictures of Jack after P90. We're just as shocked as he is.
- Mundane Made Awesome: Dubstep Solves Everything.
- My Eyes Are Up Here: Said by Chad in Get Pumped with Chad after the camera focuses on his pecs.
- Oh Wait, This Is My Grocery List: One person decided to be clever when making an acronym for the word Vote. Jack doesn't take too kindly, as usual.
- O.O.C. Is Serious Business: The end of the December 7th episode of News In Haikus ("Relax about Star Wars") has a severe case of Mood Whiplash when Jack brings up the fact that Eric Garner's killer, a police officer that strangled him, isn't even being trialled despite it being viewed on camera. Unlike the other haikus, this was not Played for Laughs.
- Out-of-Character Moment: Jack has trouble staying in-character in YGS #84, and for good reason.
- Overly Long Gag: The first JackAsk in its entirety only consists of one question: "Are you gay?"
- Similarly, "JACKASK #23" consists entirely of people criticizing his mustache.
- Nepal's flag gets this unwanted treatment in one YIAY after they critically disliked Top 10 Worst Flags in the World.
- Painted-On Pants: No, really.
- Parody: Many.
- Boybands are a recurring thing - "Christmas Sex" is a style parody of the Backstreet Boys, and a One Direction spoof called "Paperbag" has been done.
- And of course, there are his ever-present infomercial parodies.
- And his series of Twilight "in a minute" videos.
- And whenever a new Apple product is announced, expect a Jacksfilms parody soon afterward.
- There's also the series of parody commercials for the Snuggie.
- Pet the Dog: Some of the Your Grammar Sucks comments earn a Slow Clap from Jack.

- Recurring Riff/Song/Rap/Thing?: Super Bowl. Super Bowl. Gotta have me my Super Bowl...or 'Lympic Games.
- Roses are Red, Violets are Blue...: Done three times so far, in Yesterday I Asked You.
- Rouge Angles of Satin: Obviously parodied quite a lot in Your Grammar Sucks and some of his PMS videos. For example...
- Mixing up "Gentle" and Genital" (whoopsie daisy).
- A double offender: "This is Evan worse then 9/11".
- Jack reading comments that have "defiantly" in place of "definitely" is fairly common, and it's become a Running Gag for Jack to use the Sophisticated Man voice whenever he comes across one with it in it.
- Similarly for whenever somebody mistakes "Collage" for "College".
- The infamous Rapping/Raping Rapper/Raper thing.
- Jack had to make a damn song out of it.
- And many, many more, throughout practically every episode of YGS.
- "Top 10 Top 10 Lists" features Jack (intentionally) misreading Air Buddies as Air Bud Dies.
- Rule of Three: YGS 15, 25, and 99 each end in the same two comments:thumbs up and copy+ paste in everythis is the best song every :)
- Similarly, "theres never not not nuttin" shows up in YGS 10, 50, and 99.
- Screw This, I'm Outta Here!: Jack's reaction to how the last comment got 214 likes in Your Grammar Sucks #43.
- Self-Deprecation: When Olga Kay showed up in person in YGS #40.

- Jack lists a group of fellow Youtubers who could beat him up, and they include Link, Tyler Oakley, and Marzia.
- Serial Escalation: YGS #60. Despite being just 10 eps after #50, they crank the guest stars and the fan submissions Up to Eleven.

- Sherlock Scan: Parodied in his Sherlock parody, where Sherlock assumes that Watson killed someone and cooked them into the burger that he was eating.
- Shirtless Scene: Several, and done with an open shirt in "Paper Bag" (though he sadly shaved his chest to make the boy band parody work).
- Shout-Out:
- One comment in Your Grammar Sucks #48 is most certainly a reference to My Music.
- Another one in #49 attempts to sum up Doctor Who, which works as well as you'd expect.
- In Jack's "dream interpreting" episode of YIAY, he came across a comment that described a dream where a satellite came down and crashed on someone's house. Jack gave two explanations: they had Instagram haters, or they've been watching Donnie Darko.
- Another dream was that someone was a dragon who got hungry and ate their own family. Jack explained that this represented the dreamer's appetite for destruction..."which is the best Guns N' Roses album".

- Slasher Smile: Jack's pretty good at them, to say the least.

- As did a Back to the Future reference in YGS #12. ("I am your density.")
- This happens to Erin, who is self-described as "basic" and has almost no knowledge of video games and anime.
- A Polandball reference flies right past him in YGS #105.
- Snark-to-Snark Combat: Whenever his girlfriend Erin appears on JackAsk. The two of them lob insults at the questions and each other, and they're equally matched.
- Special Guest: Including Grace Helbig (Idol from MyMusic), Brock Baker, Sean Klitzner, Tay Zonday, Tobuscus, Benny and Rafi Fine, and Olga Kay.

- Stay in the Kitchen: Played for Laughs at the end of this video.
- Stress Vomit: In the "Dubstep Solves Everything" video, Jack's convulsing to his own dubstep noises makes the girl he's coming onto puke in distress and creeped-out-ness.
- Stupid Statement Dance Mix: They're not dance mixes, per se, but YGS #10, 15, 25, 30, 35, 45, 65 and 75 are all songs or Piss-Take Rap comprised (nearly) entirely of badly spelled comments. He even rhymed them. And believe it or not, there are a few instances where two comments in a row actually make sense together.
- Sometimes done on a case-by-case basis for single comments in the regular YGS run, generally involving Self-Backing Vocalist.
- Tagline: For a while, YGS had the tagline "Every Damn Friday," reflecting its usual upload schedule.
- Take That!:
Chad: You'll lose pounds faster than BP is losing credibility.(topical burn)
- A merciless one here.
- From Bro 90 X:
- In his V Sauce parody, he discusses a unit of measurement in music that our bodies reject once we listen to it. He calls the unit "biebs".
- He also says that Nickelback songs have many, many biebs, and that is why people who listen to them feel like committing suicide.
- In one of his JackAsk videos, he says that everyone has listened to Linkin Park at some time in their life, but then something clicks in their mind and they say, "Wow. What the fuck am I doing?"
- His video, I NEED TO HOST =3. "But what if it were funny?"
- To homophobic people in general.
- This episode of JackAsk has a particularly sharp dig at Sam Pepper, a YouTuber presently being investigated for sexual abuse. Subsequent episodes also took sharp digs at him.
- Nickelback get their share in this clip.
- There Is No Kill Like Overkill: Implied in "9 New Christmas Songs".Stab (x16)
- Too Incompetent to Operate a Blanket: The Trope Namer is being parodied in WTF Blanket 4: Failure Pants.Narrator: If you don't know how to operate a blanket... chances are you're a few chromosomes shorts of human.

- Vomit Discretion Shot: Implied in Your Grammar Sucks #31 as Chad, where the scene quickly cuts to him holding a bucket, shortly after declaring that he may or may not need it.
- Vomit Indiscretion Shot: At the end of "DUBSTEP SOLVES EVERYTHING".
- A running gag in JackAsk.
- Walking Shirtless Scene: Chad, more often than not.
- A Wild Rapper Appears!: Tobuscus in "Take Off Your Clothes (Like Scarlett Johansson)".
- Jack himself for YGS #45, except it starts before the midpoint of the video and pretty much takes over.
- You Keep Using That Word: "Literally"
Tropes that apply to Jack Douglass
- Adorkable
- Alter-Ego Acting: As Chad "Broseph" Huntington, the backwards-cap double-popped-collar-wearing drinkin' fool.
- Not to mention Dennis.
- Berserk Button:
- Jack tends to react badly when particularly bad comments get a high amount of likes. It's taken to its logical conclusion in YGS 57, where his reaction to a particularly bad comment getting an absurd amount of likes is to angrily lunge at the camera.
- He is also not a fan of Ray William Johnson, although he has made it clear that he respects Ray's ability to get people such as Robin Williams into his videos, and would also try to keep conversation polite despite not liking his work.
- One recently unearthed by JackAsk is when people submit incredibly random questions in attempts to sound funny, citing the rule that "RANDOM doesn't always equal FUNNY"- especially made clear in JackAsk #10.
- On a more serious note, homophobia.
- Carpet of Virility: Despite his boyish face, he has a surprisingly hairy chest. Enough to shave into a Nolan!Batman symbol!
- Deadpan Snarker
- Even more so in his JackAsk videos.
- Epic Fail: He once tried to prank call Toby Turner and say that his girlfriend was pregnant, with him not knowing what to do. Toby was watching the livestream he was doing this on, and Jack didn't bother checking to see if he could.
- He Cleans Up Nicely: Compare Jack here or in any of his own sketches to his clean-suited Intern 2 character on My Music.
- Kubrick Stare/Slasher Smile: Jack's signature "creeper face" (see picture above).
- Mean Character, Nice Actor: On screen, Jack plays up the act of being a pompous dick. Off screen, he's a friendly, humble, and approachable guy.
- Ridiculously Cute Critter: Jack's new puppy, Klondike. She's an adorable American Eskimo dog that regularly falls asleep in Jack's arms.
- Vitriolic Best Buds: With Tobuscus/Toby Turner; the two prank one another on a near constant basis, including in their respective videos. Regardless, the two are good friends and regularly collaborate. The same goes for Sean Klitzner, who has jokingly said that Jack is his archnemesis and constantly tries pranking him, and for OlgaKay, although his ribbing on her is more one-sided.

Scoring FAQ by optimus_prime82
Version: 1.0 | Updated: 01/11/05 | Search Guide | Bookmark Guide
Blades of Steel
For the one and only NES....
Version 1.0
By Scott W.
The other two FAQ located on Gamefaqs.com cover the basics, but I wanted to
cover a few things that weren't covered elsewhere in a little more depth.
The Draw
Perhaps this was discussed elsewhere, but there are two ways to play the
dropping of the puck.
1) mashing the buttons wildly in hopes of winning.
This is a good move if you think you can mash harder than a human opponent.
However, against the computer this method often doesn't work.
2) As the puck hits the ground, press B once.
Watch for the ref to drop the puck, then as it hits the ground, hit B once. I
understand that it takes time and with old NES controllers, the controller
might just fail to respond altogether, but this is clearly the better method.
This is especially the case when playing with other advanced players and the
computer. When you begin playing the computer on expert mode, this method is
a necessity because you will lose almost all draws using method 1.
Advancing up the Ice
For advancing up the ice, I have found that passing in this game is very
over-rated. While it does offer chances for more clear breakaways, the
breakaways you get in this game are no more likely to result in a goal than if
you are surrounded by the defence. Even when you get 4 or 5 rebounds and
continue to shoot the puck on net, if the goalie can stay on the arrow, there
will be no goal.
Therefore, it makes sense to use a safer method. Passing often leads to the
puck being intercepted and passed to an unintended player. Also, if you push
the pass button when there is no other teammate on screen, it basically just
shoots the puck off randomly, so watch out for that.
This safer method involvees simply rushing up the ice with the puck carrier
and only passing once that player has been checked twice. The reason for this
is that the third check often results in a fight.
I usually just shoot on net with my puck carrier, but there are advantages to
passing it among your players once you are near the net. Watch out for the
inevitable interception from the defence though.
Team Rankings
It is generally believed that all the teams are exactly alike. I myself do
not believe this. Somewhere on the internet I found the following information.
I wish i could credit, but i found it a long time ago. It is as follows:
New York: Well balanced.
Chicago: Great speed, but no standout shooter.
Los Angeles: Fairly fast and aggressive; heavy duty checking.
Montreal: Strong with speed, and a break-away offense; aggressive.
Toronto: Great offense, but weak defense.
Edmonton: Break-away offense and good speed.
Vancouver: Great shooting.
Minnesota: Good skating and precision.
Make of this what you will. One thing that i have found is that some teams
seem to be more and less tough when it comes to checking. Some teams are able
to shrug off way more than 3 checks before going into fights. Still others
start fighting with less than 3 checks. I have also seen it where after
checks the puck carrier knocks the checker on his ass...very strange.
In other cases, i have seen it where 1 check knocks the puck carrier on his
ass and steals the puck. I never figured out why this is. It's possible that
this occurs when a puck carrier is checked from behind.
Goalie Puck Control
Goalies in this game are notorious for giving up endless rebounds. One thing
that i have found that helps minimize this is to keep your goaltender deep in
the net for the initial save, then as the puck rebounds, try to push out as
far as you can in the direction of the rebound in order to try to scoop up the
puck while it is still in the goalie crease.
Scoring Tips & Tricks
1) Passing the puck into the net
-Works with computer & human players
As with many hockey games, it is possible to pass the puck into then net. It
works as follows...approach the net, and as you get extremely close, just press
the B button to pass it right in for a goal.
It works well because it passes straight. Meanwhile, the goalie will often be
off covering the arrow at one of the edges of the net, which only covers for a
shot with the A button.
Getting this to work is a bit tricky. Oftentimes, pressing the B button will
not pass straight into the net, but will instead pass backwards to a teammate.
I have found that it works best when there are not other teammates
on screen. Try it on breakaways. Basically, sometimes it works and sometimes
it doesn't. Practice is definitely necessary for this shot.
2) Wrap-around Goal
-Works best with human players
Take the puck carrier around to the back of the net and do a wrap around.
This usually throws off the arrow due to some kind of glitch where it cannot
understand that the puck is behind the net.
From this point, you can do two things. The first is that immediately as you
reach the other side of the open net, shoot. Human players often will not have
time to adjust for the new placement of the arrow. Alternatively, try
using the pass goal at this point.
3) Shoot right after fights
-Works best with human players
If you are are near the opposing teams net and get into a fight that you win,
shoot the puck immediately after returning to the regular screen from the
fight screen. The opponent often will not have time to place his goalie over
the arrow before he realizes that you have let off a shot.
4) Shooting from the Blue line
-Works best with human players
Often, shooting from the blue line or even further away (so that the opposing
net isn't yet in view) works very well. The opponent often will not have time
to move the goalie over the arrow, or just won't be expecting the puck at all.
Shooting before you can see the opposing goal works especially well because the
opponent can't yet see his goalie or place it over the arrow. This method
gives him a limited amount of time to do so.
The only problem with this method is that you often run into the problem of
having lots of traffic in front of the net which blocks the shot. Still, I
find the success rate to be quite good, or at least as good as the normal
method of shooting from close.
This method often works well when done right after the face off.
5) Shifting Around in Front of the Net
-Works best with human players
Since after a certain point, the opponent has to abandon controlling his
defence to focus on moving the goalie, it gives you a great opportunity to have
some room. You should go up really close to the net and then skate up and down
right in front of the net to force the opponent to keep covering a
moving arrow. Hopefully, this will give you a better chance at scoring. Also
at this point, you could choose to switch it up and do a pass goal.
6) Shooting from the Goal Line
-Works with computer & human players
Due to a glitch in the game, if you get your player with the puck right up to
the goal line (the line that runs top to bottom with the net) and shoot
directly at the net, it will often result in a goal, even if the goalie is
covering that corner correctly.
In general, I have found that if you use the conventional method of scoring
(shooting from close), shooting from wider angles works best. This is
especially the case for playing with human opponents. Goals often result from
the goalie being a millimetre off the arrow and having the puck dribble in.
The chances for this are simply higher when at greater angles.
Another thing to think about is that if you think you are a strong fighter,
just let yourself get into lots of fights. Only the loser gets a penalty, so
its actually an advantage to get into fights that you know you'll win. Don't
forget that for fighting, it works best to mash the punch button wildly and
switch between high punch and low punch while completely disregarding the block
I hope this is a bit helpful to all, even if it comes about 15 after the game

A slump in form has forced Mighty Jets to recall former coach Jonas Amissah back to the club six months after he quit as head coach.
Amissah's re-engagement comes after the sacking of Foster Alhassan, the man who succeeded him last week.
Jets are just a point above the relegation zone in the Glo Premier League with seven games to go and are hoping that their former head coach can halt their slide down the standings, as they sit 13th.
Jets are hoping that Amissah's return will serve as a boost in their quest to remain in the top flight.
"This is like a family reunion and we are happy to have him (Amissah) back," Mighty Jets' Administrative Manager James Oyedeji said.
The ex-Bofoakwa Tano coach resigned from Mighty Jets after being demoted to the reserves following a string of poor results during the first round in this season's premier league.

John Kline joined Karen Scullin and Tom Halden in-studio Sunday morning on Fox-9 TV to discuss education reform, ObamaCare, and his efforts to preserve Medicare for Minnesota seniors and protect it for our children and grandchildren.
Education Reform and College Affordability
"We have a deadly spiral going on. The costs go up. The federal government puts in more money. When the federal government puts in more money, the costs go up again. Colleges recognize their costs are going up much faster than the rate of inflation."
ObamaCare an Obstacle to Job Growth
"This monstrosity is killing businesses and jobs. We have got to get rid of it. Our view is NOT to have one big 2,700-page bill which nobody reads and turns into, by the way, something like 14,000 pages of regulations now."
Protecting and Preserving Medicare
"Medicare is an important part of the safety net that my mother depends upon and we need to do something to preserve it for those people who are on it and make sure that it's there for our kids and grandkids. A premium support plan isn't just to address the runaway costs of the entitlement; it's to make sure that it doesn't implode. You have to reform Medicare to save Medicare. If you just leave it like it is, it is going to run out of money, or - as President Obama said - put in a 15-member panel, the IPAB, whose only job in the law - with no congressional oversight, by the way - is to decide what Medicare won't pay. We ought to all be outraged by that approach."

Fly to Kopavogur, Iceland
Iceland, which is a Nordic island nation does not only house a magnitude of hot springs, waterfalls, glaciers and black-sand beaches, but it is home to the big city- Kopavogur. this city lies immediately south of Reykjavik and it is part of the Capital Region, and is Iceland's second largest municipality by population.
Book the cheapest flights to Kopavogur with Travelstart and see the marvellous wonders of Iceland today!
Why visit Kopavogur ?
- This city is one of Iceland's most spectacular sites for Icelandic urban legends about the huldufólk!
- With stunning views over the ocean, mountains and the rest of the capital area this city has the most significant scenery that could leave one breathless!
- This is one of the many destinations in Iceland that are known for their warm hospitality, which will make for a great holiday!
Between November and March would be the best times to visit Kopavogur, as Iceland is known for their Northern lights around this time period. The warmest weather in the year occurs around May all the way through till September.
Icelandic is the official language spoken in Kopavogur, it is a North Germanic language that is derived from Old Norse. English is also a widely spoken language and understood by locals.
- It is not only one of Iceland's youngest towns but it is one of the biggest
- The tallest building in Iceland is the Smáratorg tower, and it is located in central Kopavogur.
- The name Kopavogur means seal pup bay, that is why the town seal contains the profile of the church Kópavogskirkja with a seal pup underneath.
There are so many sights and attractions in this city, a few of them include the Menningarmiðstoð Kópavogs which contains Kópavogur's Natural History Museum. The Kópavogur's concert hall is also something to check-out when you are in town. It is right next door to the Menningarmiðstoð Kópavogs, this beautifully designed museum is dedicated to Icelandic stained glass artist and sculptor-Gerður Helgadóttir who hosts excellent rotating modern-art exhibitions.
Kopavogur being one of the biggest cities in Iceland, it is a given that there would be amazing restaurants in some parts of this city. The considered top restaurants are Bombay bizaar, Jordon Grill, and Skalli, so definitely try and go to these restaurants and experience Kopavogur cuisine at its finest.
The majority of relgiously practising Icelanders are memebers of a Christian denomination with the majority being Lutheran, but as is the trend in nordic countries, attendance for religious services is realitvely low
The crime within Kopavogur has increased over the years-but even with that the crime rate in this city is not high, in comparison to other neighbouring cities or countries. Kopavogur is a perfect holiday destination, and it can be enjoyed by travellers, as well as locals without the fear of being endangered.

Re: How to get v1.4.2?
Thanks for the tip...
I tried just installing from the app store and I'm presented the message "This app requires iOS 4.3 or newer."
As you mentioned I was under the impression the app store would figure out which version to give me.
What's our next step?

Being Human star Kate Bracken has revealed that "things do get incredibly complicated" for ghost Alex and vampire Hal in the show's final episodes.
The BBC announced earlier this month that the current series of the supernatural drama will be the last.
Bracken teased: "[Hal and Alex's] relationship was never easy and it doesn't get any simpler. They originally met because there was an attraction there and that initial feeling hasn't really gone away so it's a bit of a rollercoaster."
She added: "They have their good days and their bad days but at the end of it all, they are there for each other. But things do get incredibly complicated, especially when Hal starts to descend into a downward spiral. Alex tries to see past it but it gets to a point where it's too difficult for her and she just can't deal with it anymore."
Series 5 is currently airing at 10pm on Sunday nights on BBC Three. The last ever episode will air on Sunday 10 March.

Installing ATI Drivers.
After --force ing the ATI driver installation, I'm trying to build and install a kernel module in order to get hardware acceleration, but I'm getting the following error when I "sh make.sh" in the fglrx/build_mod directory:
[root@x1-6-00-07-e9-c1-3c-84 build_mod]# sh make.sh
cd /usr/src
ln -s linux-2.6.3-15mdk linux
so I dont really know what the problem is here :confused:
Are you sure that you have the kernel sources installed in /usr/src/linux? Also, make sure that you have the correct version that matches your kernel.
Try to get a vanilla kernel (2.6.3 for example) and compile it with the exact same options as the one you have now. The try to do the "sh make.sh" again.
Hope it helps
A more detailed version of what hammet suggested:
1. Get a vanilla(ftp.kernel.org) source
2. Unpack it in /usr/src
3. Copy the config file mandrake(redhat, debian, ...) used to compile your **RUNNING** kernel(this is generally found in /boot/config-...)
4. rename the config file to /usr/src/<linux version>/.config
5. cd into /usr/src/<linux version> and issue a "make oldconfig". If the kernel versions are the same it should answer all questions by itself.
6. issue a make dep(not needed for 2.6 kernels)
7. Now go run your installation for other drivers,
*OPTIONAL* 8. You may need to link /usr/src/linux to the kernel source, and/or link /lib/modules/<kernel-version>/build to the linux source.
Ah, dumb question, but what's a "vanilla source" file?:scratch: And where is it on the ftp?
I'll follow the steps you outlined and report back.
One quick question though, I'm using the 2.6.3 up-4GB kernel because the default one doesn't recognize all my memory. Using this "vanilla" kernel will it find all my RAM?
Thanks for your help so far :)
Are you using mandrake? If you are, use the package installation to get the source for the exact version of the kernel you're using. It should be relatively simple.
Sorry for being a bit dense, I'm relatively new to the linux scene.
It should already be located in /boot and named config-...
You need to move it to /usr/src/<linux-kernel-source>/ and then rename it to .config
Realize the <> stuff you need to replace with real values(like /usr/src/linux-2.4.20 and config-2.4.20 would pair together)
Ok you are awesome!
The sh make.sh worked like a charm!
However :(
The module insert failed here:
[root@x1-6-00-07-e9-c1-3c-84 fglrx]# sh make_install.sh
Any clue what this error means?
It generally means the module and kernel are incompatible, for grins, paste me the output of "uname -a"
Linux x1-6-00-07-e9-c1-3c-84 2.6.3-7mdk #1 Wed Mar 17 15:56:42 CET 2004 i686 unknown unknown GNU/Linux
Man, this sucks :mad: Is there anything I can do to get it to work, short of upgrading my kernel?
i m using Mandrake 10.0
n XFree86 version 126.96.36.199
i downloaded the drivers frm ATI site..
i m doin everythin as it is given in the HOW TO file on the ATI SITE
everythin goes smooth... i answer all the question in fglrxconfig
dat too goes ok
but whn i reboot n try Fglrxinfo... it still says MESA drivers
whereas the ATI site goes like this...

403 Forbidden
The Board of Public Utilities delivered its long-awaited public spanking to Jersey Central Power & Light this week, confirming what most of us suspected: The company's response to last year's double-whammy of Tropical Storm Irene and October snow was a mostly avoidable disaster.
The BPU spent months reviewing the performance of New Jersey's electric utilities in the wake of the storms — and found lots to criticize about JCP&L, whose 1.1 million customers reported 1.2 million outages between the two storms, some for as long as 10 days.
As they cleaned up from Irene, customers slammed JCP&L for slow response and nonexistent customer service. The BPU singled out JCP&L for botching communication with its customers and local officials; many complained they couldn't reach the company and, when they did, information was confusing or wrong.
The BPU said JCP&L essentially abandoned disaster training in the past decade and left critical disaster coverage in the hands of its parent company in Ohio, First Energy, and sister utilities in neighboring states — without written guarantees that help would come when called.
JCP&L says it's already improved its communications — adding websites, mobile apps and a Twitter account. It's upped its training, too. But last year's fumbles might cost them dearly.
The BPU has ordered a review of JCP&L's rates, to investigate whether the company cut corners on customer service and pocketed the extra cash. The state's Ratepayer Advocate says the company earned an excess $90 million in just one year. If BPU agrees, JCP&L could be forced to cut its rates.
That's not all. Gov. Chris Christie said this week that New Jersey should increase the amount it fines utilities for extended blackouts — from $100 a day to $25,000. If nothing else, that would convince utilities to share their customers' urgency.
JCP&L deserves some slack: Its territory is mountainous and forested, and the storms caught many off-guard. In some places, the company suffered from bad luck — such as Morristown, where debris dammed a creek, flooding the local substation.
But the outrage was legitimate. Furious customers sat in the dark, unable to track down repair crews or get a straight answer from the company.
JCP&L deserved this smackdown. The BPU's on the right track to make sure the response is better the next time the lights go out.

Sanjaya may be making a comeback
TMZ is posting video of one unlikely suitor competing for a spot on the second season of VH1's I Love New York — Sanjaya Malakar! Goodness only knows if Sanjaya himself really provided the video on TMZ and ILoveNewYork2.com, but the goofy shenanigans with Sour Patch Kids is worth the chuckle, at the very least.

Imagine you could experience emotion like those with synesthesia, who perceive sounds as having color or shape. Would you witness love emanating from strangers like exquisite rose blooms, or depression trailing behind in a wake of dark clouds?
This idea approaches the aesthetic of Jolie Holland, whose wavering alto comes out of her with such supple intensity, the emotions animating her songs almost assume a shape and expression all their own, with Holland but the medium.
Her quivering vocals recall blues icons Bessie Smith or Billie Holiday, sometimes drifting casually like smoke across the footlights; at other times twinkling with the pulsing insistence of a sparkler. Born in Houston, Holland helped start the neo-traditional Americana act The Be Good Tanyas before launching her solo career.
Her first demos were so stark and powerful that the buzz forced their release in 2003 as her unofficial debut. She followed it a year later with her studio debut, "Escondida," driven by a laconic, oft-jazzy blend of swing, country, folk and blues. It so keenly captured the spirit of a sepia-tinged past that she got branded with the "old-timey music" label, a characterization that rather chafes her and has driven her in a new direction.
"All the records are about trying to capture the spirit of the moment," Holland said. "And for the last two records, I've been playing with more rock musicians, and writing more rock songs. In order to perform the songs I was writing, I needed to change bands. And I needed to stop working with somebody that's a beautiful jazz drummer to really change the feel."
This endeavor to change her sound and people's perception of her eventually resulted in this year's "Pint of Blood." While informed by the past and American roots music, the album mixes in many other elements with deftness that defies pigeonholing. It simply sounds like Holland.
"(The title) relates to a quote by William Burroughs, which goes something like, if you hang out with a person for an hour and later feel like you've lost a quart of plasma, that person is not your friend," she said. "The idea of 'Pint of Blood' is like the inverse of that. It's the sensation of feeling built up by good people and real inspiration."
For her, the idea is to re-create the magic of the moment with a purity that brings it back to life.
"I love it when people are really un-self-conscious in music," Holland said. "It's my job to disappear and help other people disappear, to become unself-conscious and moved."

Flat Feet
Flat feet (pes planus) is a condition in which the foot does not have a normal arch when standing.
Causes, incidence, and risk factors
Flat feet are a common condition. In infants and toddlers, they are normal. Flat feet occur because the tissues holding the joints in the foot together (called tendons) are loose. In infants and babies, the fat in the foot is also a factor. As children grow older, these tissues tighten and form an arch, most often by the time the child is 2 or 3 years old. By adulthood, most people have normal arches. However, in some people this arch may never form.
Ageing, injuries, or illness may harm the tendons and cause flat feet to develop in a person who has already formed arches. This type of flat foot may only be on one side. Rarely, painful flat feet in children may be caused by a condition in which two or more of the bones in the foot grow or fuse together. This condition is called tarsal coalition.
Most flat feet do not cause pain or other problems. At times, foot pain, ankle pain, or lower leg pain are present (especially in children). They should be evaluated by a health care provider.
Adults may notice some symptoms. Their feet may become achy or tired when standing for long periods of time or after playing sports.
Signs and tests
In people with flat feet, the instep of the foot comes in contact with the ground when they stand. The health care provider will ask you to stand on your toes. If an arch forms while you are standing on your toes, the flat foot is called flexible. No treatment or further work-up is needed. If the arch does not form with toe-standing (called rigid flat feet), or if there is pain, other tests may be needed, including:
- CT scan to look at the bones in the foot
- MRI scan to look at the tendons in the foot
- X-ray of the foot

Obama's Cabinet: Guessing game reaches fever pitch
The big Washington guessing game, simmering for months, has reached fever pitch. Everyone who watches such things has a Cabinet list for the perfect Obama administration. Some have even crafted lists of people who shouldn't be on the list. Now that top transition and White House staffers are in place, expect some big guns to be named soon. Here are a few lists to spur your own thinking:
Let's start with a list put together by Mike Allen at Politico. It was published before the election and was billed as "the list of names being widely discussed in Democratic circles." An exhaustive selection, it includes a number of Republicans, including Sens. Olympia Snowe and Susan Collins of Maine, former Rhode Island Sen. Lincoln Chaffee and former New Jersey Gov. Tom Kean, who co-led the 9/11 Commission.
Adding to the bipartisan speculation, Toby Harnden, U.S. editor of the Telegraph in London, quotes transition chief John Podesta as saying Republicans and independents would be in Obama's Cabinet and "not just at a token level." Might John McCain be the Republican, he asks? Also mentioned: Colin Powell and retiring Sen. Chuck Hagel, R-Neb.
Another frequently mentioned Republican is Defense Secretary Robert Gates. The Wall Street Journal reported this week that Obama is leaning toward asking him to stay on for another year.
Washington Post columnist Richard Cohen urges Al Gore for secretary of state, Lawrence Summers for Treasury secretary and New York City schools chancellor Joel Klein for secretary of education. Gore's name has come up for all kinds of potential positions.
Meanwhile, Timothy Noah at Slate offers "The Uncabinet: A guide to key appointments Obama should resist." He begins with three top NOTS for secretary of state: New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson, Sen. John Kerry and Anthony Lake, a former national security adviser to President Clinton.
No appointments are expected this week, and it seems the first pick might be secretary of the Treasury.
According to Chris Cillizza at the Washington Post's The Fix blog, "It's clear from conversations with those close to Obama that the conversations about Treasury Secretary are more advanced than about any other major post in the Administration with the possible exception of the national security posts." He says the most serious contenders for Treasury "appear to be former Clinton Administration Treasury Secretary Larry Summers and Timothy Geithner, the head of the New York Federal Reserve."
Looks as though you still have a little time to craft your own list.
Comments (3)
Appointing Federal Reservists, like Geithner or Volcker, to Obama cabinet posititons would not be good. They are buddies of the bankers and not the people. We must begin reducing the power of the Federal Reserve Bank by requiring congress to begin SPENDING money into circulation rather than borrowing it at interest and lending it in. If we continue bringing money into circulation only as loans with interest we cannot begin to solve our financial problems. It's elementary econommics that one cannot reduce debt with more debt. Leslie Davis as governor of Minnesota in 2010 will shepherd through legislation that requires state-chartered banks to create checkbook money for all state transportation needs and SPEND it into circulation with no debt or interest. SPENDING money into the system rather than lending it in is the key to our financial future. Then we can begin to lower taxes by eliminating the gasoline tax, axle tax and half the vehicle registration tax. The Davis Money Plan will begin to move Minnesota, and eventually all the other states, to a wealth money system rather than the current debt money slavery system.
The big question is, Who will be the "Handicapper General"? http://www.finallyequal.com/
One person who has been touted as EPA chief is Robert F Kennedy, Jr. Scientists are opposed to this move because of his involvement with the thimerasol/autism link (which link has been disproven as specious, yet anti-vaccination hysteria continues.) This attitude by RFKJR to ignore science concerns people who think that an appreciation for science is critical in such a key position.
The possible appointment may have turned out to be a rumor, but still people are watching Obama's selection for this post.

Predicting In Silico Which Mixtures of the Natural Products of Plants Might Most Effectively Kill Human Leukemia Cells?

The aim of the analysis of just 13 natural products of plants was to predict the most likely effective artificial mixtures of 2-3 most effective natural products on leukemia cells from over 364 possible mixtures. The natural product selected included resveratrol, honokiol, chrysin, limonene, cholecalciferol, cerulenin, aloe emodin, and salicin and had over 600 potential protein targets. Target profiling used the Ontomine set of tools for literature searches of potential binding proteins, binding constant predictions, binding site predictions, and pathway network pattern analysis. The analyses indicated that 6 of the 13 natural products predicted binding proteins which were important targets for established cancer treatments. Improvements in effectiveness were predicted for artificial combinations of 2 or 3 natural products. That effect might be attributed to drug synergism rather than increased numbers of binding proteins bound (dose effects). Among natural products, the combinations of aloe emodin with mevinolin and honokiol were predicted to be the most effective combination for AML-related predicted binding proteins. Therefore, plant extracts may in future provide more effective medicines than the single purified natural products of modern medicine, in some cases.
