Coral Reef Fishes
Dynamics and Diversity in a Complex EcosystemEdited by
- Peter Sale
Coral Reef Fishes is the successor of The Ecology of Fishes on Coral Reefs. This new edition includes provocative reviews covering the major areas of reef fish ecology. Concerns about the future health of coral reefs, and recognition that reefs and their fishes are economically important components of the coastal oceans of many tropical nations, have led to enormous growth in research directed at reef fishes. Coral Reef Fishes is much more than a simple revision of the earlier volume; it is a companion that supports and extends the earlier work. The included syntheses provide readers with the current highlights in this exciting science.
Advanced undergraduates, graduate students, faculty and researchers interested in coral reef ecology, fish ecology, fishery sciences and related ecological, ichthyological, and zoological issues. Ecologists, fishery scientists, and anyone interested in complex ecosystem structure and function. Libraries at institutions with strong programs in ecology, ichthyology, fishery science and related disciplines.
Hardbound, 549 Pages
Published: May 2002
Imprint: Academic Press
"...an excellent overview of what has been done in research on reef fish ecology and, moreover, what we have failed to do. This new edition is much more than merely a more recent version of the first book published in 1991, but provides insight into the future perspectives of reef fish ecology and into the research that has to be done if we hope to meet conservation goals...a perfect guide to the future course of reef fish ecology in the new millennium...the format of the book and the structuring of the text, tables and figures is excellent and makes reading the contents a pleasure...Coral reef ecologists, marine ichthyologists or reef conservation managers should not put this book into their bookshelves- they should better keep it on their desks." - Jurgen Herler, University of Vienna, MARINE ECOLOGY, 2005 "...excellent volumeâ¦It is an indispensable reference for all researchers and managers working with coral reef fishes." -ECOLOGY (2004) "Should you add this book to your library? Definitely! Sale has done an excellent job of bringing coral-reef fish biologists up to date and clearly outlining future directions for study."-COPIA (2003) "Coral Reef Fishes is full of fascinating details, new evidence and new ideas." âRedouan Bshary for NATURE (January 2003)

VOA Associates Incorporated
Interior Architecture Award Submission
On the floor that inspired architect Daniel Burnham, an idea factory was created, allowing employees to thrive, work and create. By eliminating executive offices and keeping the perimeter accessible to lakefront and city views, a universal, egalitarian work space was born.
In addition to maximizing natural light, all design in the LEED Silver space features our commitment to environmental and sustainable responsibility. The floor plan placed primary function areas strategically adjacent to expansive windows for a reduction in energy use. An open interior stair spanning two levels increases connectivity between studios and encourages occupants to take stairs rather than the elevator. Recyclable materials and stained MDF hard surface millwork were used, eschewing plastic laminates. Floors used cork and high recycled content carpet; walls were painted using low VOC alternatives with bamboo and cork accents.
Open work stations and large teaming areas for collaboration reinvent how architects and designers work. Teaming areas extend from workstations allowing models, mock-ups, vision boards, art and collaboration to immerse project teams, surrounding them with flexible space and encouraging designers to think, feel and create. Thoughts of how we work with outcome changed the emphasis of design to highlight process rather than the end result.

Miranda Writes: A By-The-Numbers Breakdown Of A&M-Bama
November 13th, 2012 09:25 AM║ Posted By: John Pennington ║ Permalink
║ Schools: Alabama, Arkansas, Auburn, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, LSU, Mississippi State, Missouri, Ole Miss, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas A&M, Vanderbilt
Tags: Alabama, Explosive Plays Covering, Miranda Writes, Turnover Battle
This week we bring you another numbers-centric breakdown of the SEC's biggest game of the week. On most weeks this fall — when he's not in California watching his own son play college football — guest analyst Ralph Miranda will provide us with a quick Tuesday breakdown of CBS's Game of the Week or another big game airing on ESPN.
Ralph knows the game. He was a walk-on linebacker for Notre Dame's 1977 national championship team and he also served as color analyst for Vanderbilt football games on television in the 1990s. His own site can be viewed here.
We think his short breakdowns — focusing on stats that coaches often say are the most important stats in football — will give you a little something extra as we wrap up one week and roll into the next.
And now, I turn it over to Ralph for his breakdown of Texas A&M's 29-24 takedown of previously unbeaten Alabama…
Turnover Battle:
Texas A&M — 0 (0 fumbles, 0 interceptions)
Alabama — 0 (1 fumble, 2 interceptions)
1st-and-10 Plays Covering 4+ Yards:
Texas A&M — 30 1st-and-10 Plays / 16 of 4+ yards (53%)
Alabama — 24 1st-and-10 Plays / 14 of 4+ yards (58%)
3rd Down Conversions:
Texas A&M — 11 of 18 (61%)
Alabama — 7 of 15 (47%)
Explosive Plays Covering 20+ Yards:
Texas A&M — 6 (2 on what turned out to be the eventual game-winning drive)
Alabama — 5
Three Keys To Victory:
1. Some Spread, Eh?
The Aggies run a spread offense. Nothing special about that, most college football teams do that these days. Most college football teams don't have "Johnny Football" however. A&M had a brilliant game plan. They spread Alabama out by running 4 and 5 WR sets. This accomplished a couple things. First, it allowed the true freshman QB Johnny Manziel to be able to read Bama's coverage schemes. A defense cannot disguise their coverages as well when the offense is spreading the field. Manziel found the open receiver and delivered the rock on target most of the night. Second, spreading the field allowed A&M to get Manziel into the open and forced Alabama to make plays in space. More often then not, they didn't.

What is everyone's problem with all these things that have no effect on this site at all? (Except maybe bandwidth...)
Why do people care if there are a large number of inactive users? What have they done to hurt anyone? Why should they be deleted if they haven't done anything wrong. Just because someone isn't able to be a FanNation addict like you and me (and yes, we are officially addicts, for the most part...) doesn't mean they are hurting the site. Do they bring blog views down? No. They aren't the ones you necessarily are targeting anyway. Do they bring TD votes down? Not a huge amount, maybe one or two votes. The majority of voters on TDs are people that are on this site at least once per day.
Why do people care if a group is inactive or meaningless? Is it hurting you personally? Is it offending you? Just because a group is inactive doesn't mean it's meaningless and vice versa. Even if they're inactive and meaningless, they still once served a purpose.
People need to stop worrying about these ticky-tack problems that YOU think are problems and really aren't. Worry about cheaters. Worry about voting based off of reputation, not off of arguments (Which I've personally witnessed in the last week). Worry about inactivity in your own groups. Worry about the Moderators that all of you guys think are terrible. (The only thing I've personally had issues with so far are the filters)
Speaking on some of these issues as well, just because you perceive someone as a cheater or have caught someone as a cheater does NOT mean that you should automatically be given a win. If you are completely outarguing the cheater, then yeah, people should be voting for you. If the person has a 20-1 lead after the first argument and the majority of the votes are from dupe accounts, then yeah, vote for the guy who's down 20-1. But if it's not confirmed, if it's not going to make a difference in the outcome of the TD (The guy would win by 10 votes and had one dupe account), don't vote based on your prejudice for cheaters. Yes, it's wrong, but the guy is flat out outarguing the other guy and should get your vote. Voting for that guy is not condoning cheating. I know, it's a conflict of interest between the morals of voting based on arguments and voting based on the morals of what is and is not cheating. I've seen this happen with the Havertown kids too. Don't let prejudice get in the way of your voting.
I dunno...maybe it's just me, but I still think a lot of people need to shut up.

PLAYERS: Chris Jericho, Bret Hart, Kofi Kingston
Former WWE Superstar Chris Jericho appeared on Wrestling Voice Radio with Duane Doogan (available on WrestlingVoiceRadio.com, iTunes and Stitcher Radio). Highlights from the interview are as follows: Does he believe there is an attitude of 'if you're not with us, you're against us' within the WWE: "I don't think it's a vicious thing, I think there is just so much going on in the WWE at all times, so many angles, stories, it's kind of out of sight, out of mind. If they had their way, I'm sure everybody who ever worked there would be working for them. If that was the case you'd have Steve Austin, The Rock, Hulk Hogan, Bret Hart and every single person only working for them but guys move on and branch out and sometimes they support that, sometimes they don't." How far did talks go about a recent return to WWE in early November?: "It wasn't that much detail about it really, I called them and said I'D be interested in doing some shows over the next couple of...

2006 NLC Address - Michael Chertoff

Ron Cass: I promised Leonard Leo and Gene Meyer and Dean Reuter that I would give a serious introduction for the Secretary, although when he heard I was introducing him, he did raise the threat level to Orange. Secretary Chertoff proves that a very smart Jewish boy can grow up to be a successful lawyer. He overcame a number of obstacles in his career. It got off to a very shaky start. He attended Harvard College and then Harvard Law School. He then clerked for Justice Brennan. So, you can see, this was really going badly at the beginning....

Ron Eby, owner of a Windham auto repair shop and a major fundraiser for Camp Sunshine, is one of four national finalists for NASCAR's Betty Jane France Humanitarian Award.
WINDHAM - The horrible sound was followed by a horrible sight. A man walking across a Bangor city street was hit by a car and thrown into the air. Ron Eby ran to help.
He checked that the man could breathe. He felt for a pulse. He tried to comfort the stranger until police or medical personnel arrived.
Joshua Constantine, 37, of Bangor died that Saturday night in early June, the victim of a hit-and-run driver. Eby assured Constantine's family that he did not die alone. Later, a grieving family wrote Eby calling him their angel.
NASCAR has a different name for Eby. The stock car racing organization says this Windham auto repair shop owner is one of four national finalists for the Betty Jane France Humanitarian Award. Eby is 52 years old but can still blush. Humanitarian is a big word.
"I'm just a simple guy," he said. "I don't have a big house or a big boat. I just like to help people."
Over the past seven years, Eby has helped raise more than $250,000 for Camp Sunshine, a retreat on Sebago Lake that provides an escape and support for children with a life-threatening illness and their families. The camp and its program is located in Casco and open year-round at no cost to the families.
Thanks to people like Ron Eby.
"There's nothing ordinary about Ron," said Matt Hoidal, Camp Sunshine's executive director. "He lives and breathes service to others. He gets pure fulfillment in seeing the load lightened for others."
Hoidal nominated Eby for the award without his knowledge. It goes to someone who has impacted the children in his community. Eby's community is world-wide. Camp Sunshine serves families throughout the United States and 19 countries. He has also organized Thanksgiving food drives and collects toys at Christmas to distribute.
In September Hoidal and Eby learned he was a finalist. The winner will be determined by the number of votes he or she receives on the NASCAR website.
Wednesday, Eby retrieved a folder from his office at Windham Automotive, the repair shop he owns. He showed me the proclamation issued and signed by Gov. Paul LePage, announcing Ron Eby Day on Oct. 12. There was a letter of recognition from Sen. Susan Collins.
And the letter from the Constantine family. This summer, Eby organized a cookout that was also a fundraiser. He hoped they could attend. Yes, it was emotional when they arrived that day.
Eby rubbed his eyes as he talked. The memories of that night can't be erased.
He and his wife, Julie, were in Bangor to listen to the country-folk Zac Brown Band at a riverfront concert. They were walking back to their car when Constantine was hit.
"(Eby) didn't say, 'Oh my God, someone call an ambulance' and let it go at that," said Kelly Moore of Scarborough, a friend and longtime NASCAR driver. "He took ownership. He's a sincere, great guy. He pours his heart into things."
Eby and his family were in need of help in 1978 while travelling across the country. His 2-year-old daughter became ill and was taken to a hospital emergency room in Dayton, Ohio. She was diagnosed with meningitis. Her condition turned critical.
"Next thing we know she needed a spinal tap. She was put on life support. There were no Ronald McDonald Houses then for families. We lived in the (hospital) cafeteria or the halls."
A family visiting a son who had been electrocuted invited them to their home in nearby Xenia for hot showers and dinner. Four years earlier tornadoes ripped through that family's neighborhood. "They described what it was like being under their table while their house was blown away."
Eby's daughter survived. He never forgot his anxieties, the feeling of helplessness and the kindness of others.
About six weeks ago, Eby was a guest of NASCAR at New Hampshire Motor Speedway for the Sylvania 300. He attended the drivers' meeting and met Mike Helton, NASCAR's president, who patted him on the back.
He was introduced to the crowd of 100,000 before the race and gave them a thumbs-up. He watched the race from driver Clint Bowyer's pitbox. Bowyer drives for owner Michael Waltrip who has NAPA Auto Parts sponsorship. Eby has gone to NAPA in Maine for his fundraising for Camp Sunshine.
So he had to forget for the day that he's a Dale Earnhardt Jr. fan. So what.
Last month, other Windham businesses put Eby's name on their marquees, urging people to vote for him. Many have joined with him in supporting Camp Sunshine.
On Nov. 30, Eby and a Camp Sunshine family from Texas will be at the 2012 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series Awards banquet at a Las Vegas hotel. Betty Jane France, mother of Brian France, NASCAR's CEO, will announce the winner who gets $100,000 for his or her cause. The other three each get $25,000. Each receive a 2013 Toyota Camry Hybrid.
"I tell people to read what the other three have done before they vote. I can't wait to meet the others.
"We were winners when we were chosen. We're able to make an impact on so many people. Families depend on us. We need to leave huge footprints for others to follow."
Voting ends at midnight, Nov. 29. Go to NASCAR.com/award.

Searching for organ donors

A letter from the Nursing Pinning CommitteeDear Parents and Grandparents of Nursing Students,
Our senior year is well underway, and as many of you may have heard, we are keeping very busy! While we still have much work ahead of us, it is exciting to think that come May 21, we will be celebrating all of our efforts and our journey toward receiving a Bachelors of Science in Nursing (BSN) at the Pinning Ceremony. This ceremony is a long-standing tradition in which all of the graduating nursing students, along with their family and friends, join to celebrate their success in nursing school. In this ceremony, each student is traditionally and proudly "pinned" with Calvin's nursing pin, as a special signature of completing a baccalaureate degree in nursing and being eligible to take the state RN licensure examination.
Thinking ahead to graduation, perhaps you would like to consider purchasing a nursing pin for your son, daughter or grandchild. Information about cost and ordering this pin can be found at www.terryberry.net (use "security id: 36095" and "password: Nurse"). While your child/grandchild would not receive the pin until the Pinning Ceremony, this could be a special gift and keepsake for them, as many nurses continue to wear this pin throughout their career. You can find out additional information about the Pinning Ceremony on the nursing department site.
The Pinning Ceremony is a special and proud moment for each nursing student. Although your presence and support is the most important, please consider sharing in this special day with the gift of a Calvin nursing pin. We are looking forward to seeing you and celebrating with you in May!
Sincerely, the Nursing Pinning Committee, Nursing Class of 2009.

Felton's Block Helps Knicks Fend Off Curry's Assault
NEW YORK — On a night when Steph Curry nearly couldn't miss, Raymond Felton came up with a block that changed the course of the game.
With 1:30 remaining and the Knicks tied with the Golden State Warriors at 105, Felton jumped and blocked a Curry 2-point attempt from the right wing that helped the Knicks hold on for a wild 109-105 victory at Madison Square Garden
"It felt good because it was down the stretch when we really needed it," Felton said. "He hits that shot and then maybe the game is different."
Tyson Chandler took credit for yelling at Felton to anticipate the shot, but Felton said he heard a number of teammates shouting at him.
"Tyson called out, everybody was yelling it out," Felton said.
Instead of Curry hitting another basket and giving Golden State the lead, J.R. Smith (26 points) hit an off-balance jumper on the other end and the Knicks led, 107-105.
After Jarrett Jack was whistled for traveling, Carmelo Anthony (team-high 35 points) hit another basket and the Knicks held on despite Curry's NBA-season-high 54-point outburst. Curry went 11-of-13 from beyond the arc, setting a franchise record and coming up one shy of tying the NBA record. The Garden record of 61 points is held by Kobe Bryant.
"Once I started to see the three ball going down in transition and all sorts of spots over the floor, I knew it was going to be a good night," said Curry, who set a new career-high one night after going for a season-high of 38 against Indiana.
"Beautiful to watch," Knicks coach Mike Woodson said. "He's got great genes. His dad was a pretty damn good player, too."
Said Anthony: "There is nothing anybody can do. We have to hope he misses."
Felton bore the brunt of Curry's attack but he said he never wanted to switch off and have someone else cover him..
"I wasn't going nowhere," he said. "For what? He's hot. Whoever got on him he was still scoring. It didn't matter so I didn't want to get off of him."
Felton and the Knicks' guards have been torched by a series of guards all season, from Kyrie Irving to Ty Lawson to Jrue Holiday to Jeff Teague.
Yet on this one critical possession, Felton came up with a huge defensive swat.
"Ray came up with a big play getting a block," Anthony said.
The Knicks now take a modest two-game winning streak into Friday at Washington before Sunday's mammoth showdown with Lebron and the Heat.
For now, they can thank Felton for giving them this win.
"It may not seem like we played good defense because a man came in here and had 54," Felton said. "But I think overall we still played good defense as a team. We got stops when we really needed it."

I often worry about being asked to make a speech in the company of friends or family. I find that sometimes these speeches of mine border on trite, that I sound insincere and that I am not saying anything of significance or consequence. I have thought about my last post as a guest-contributor to the Accidenal Hedonist for awhile. What should I say? What would be a good ending vignette?
Being at the tail-end of the holiday season, I hope that you all have had a wonderful celebrating month. Or longer if you dive into the holiday month starting with Thanksgiving. And I wish you all a festive, joyous and the happiest of New Year – may it bring you happiness, prosperity, health and that elusive peace of mind.
The truth is I have nothing witty or wise to offer, other than thanks to all the readers through the last six months, and to Kate for giving me an opportunity to contribute to her excellent site. It's been a lovely and wonderful process to come up with weekly content for the posts. I hope to sometimes drop in to scribble a few words here and there, leave you with a photograph or two and a recipe. If you made anything from any of the recipes I have written about, I'd love to hear if you liked it, if you had a favorite post, if you had a least favorite post, if something didn't come out the way I explained in the recipe, or if you wanted me to write about something and I never did. I'd love to hear your thoughts.
Thank you all and thank you Kate for this terrific six month opportunity! All the best wishes in the New Year! And starting with 2008, I am hoping to return to a more regular posting schedule at my virtual home, the SassyRadish. Do stop by and say hello!

Eight Division III colleges in the Southeast have joined together to form a new athletics conference called the Southern Athletic Association beginning with the 2012-13 season.
Spanning six states, the Southern Athletic Association includes Birmingham-Southern College in Alabama, Centre College in Kentucky, Hendrix College in Arkansas, Millsaps College in Mississippi, Oglethorpe University and Berry College in Georgia, and Rhodes College and Sewanee (the University of the South) in Tennessee.
The new conference emerged earlier this summer when Birmingham-Southern, Centre, Hendrix, Millsaps, Oglethorpe, Rhodes and Sewanee announced they were leaving the Southern Collegiate Athletic Conference, effective June 30, 2012.
Those seven institutions will participate fully as members of the SCAC in the 2011-12 academic year and will honor all scheduling commitments made for that season. Berry is currently proceeding through the Division III provisional/reclassifying membership process.
League officials say the Southern Athletic Association is designed as a more regional collection of institutions, thus reducing travel costs and missed class time.
Jay Gardiner, athletics director at Oglethorpe, will serve as the Southern Athletic Association's interim commissioner. Oglethorpe President Lawrence Schall will serve as convener of the conference's presidential council during the 2011-12 academic year while Brian Chafin, athletics director at Centre, will serve as convener of the athletics director council.

Mr Rudd said people from across the globe have been driven to respond as they have seen the immense magnitude and devastation wreaked by the flooding. Our embassies and high commissions around the world have been overwhelmed by the sheer number of calls from local people who have heard about the floods and were moved to convey their condolences and ask how they can assist. From the largest nations like China and the United States, to near neighbours New Zealand, Papua New Guinea and Indonesia, through to the smallest countries such as Timor Leste and Bhutan, the plight of the hundreds of thousands of Australians displaced and affected by the ongoing floods has touched people around the world. "The world and the Australian public have rallied in the great Aussie spirit of mateship to give a helping hand to those affected by this still unfolding natural disaster," said Mr Rudd. New Zealand generously provided an emergency response team that arrived during the first days of the Queensland flood. A number of countries and international businesses have also offered specialist recovery assistance that could help affected communities recover after the water has receded. Mr Rudd said many Australian embassies and high commissions, together with ex-pat communities, are organising fundraising benefits over the coming month and as part of their Australia Day celebrations. Fundraising events were held this past weekend in New York and Honiara, with Los Angeles hosting a benefit this week as part of the G'day Australia week celebrations. Further events are planned in Chicago, Shanghai, Abu Dhabi, Dubai, Hanoi, Taipei and Hong Kong. "Whether it is closest neighbours or the furthest reaches of the world, we have been humbled by the good will and generosity offered to our country during this difficult time.

I'm an older woman who worked in a small furniture store so I've seen every kind of freight and packaging there is from immaculate to really rough or barely there cardboard. This accent table was extremely well packed, glass and all so no dings or scratches. I put the table together myself without any help. The key to putting together furniture is not to tighten everything until you get all the pieces attached and then tighten each bolt a little at a time so it's even. ~ I did have a problem though and I can't thank Sean and Heather B. in Customer Care enough for their chat and email communication and quick help in sorting it out. One of the table legs was defective and a replacement was sent out immediately. As someone who has worked in a furniture store and had to make calls about damaged or defective parts, I'm delighted to say Overstock was a pleasure to do business with and I won't hesitate to order again.
We are so pleased with these tables. They look much nicer in person than in the pictures. The finish is a rich deep mahongany and they look expensive. They are very heavy. Some minor problems with one of the end table legs fitting but that was fixed with special adjustments. It took my husband about 2 hours to put together 2 end tables, coffee table and sofa table. They were not hard to put together. The tables are just beautiful and we are very happy with our purchase.
Exactly what I was looking for. I love the coffee table and end table. Perfect height.
I got this end table because I have been looking for about a year for a smaller sized set in dark wood that had a end table that was higher then 24 inches. This one looked perfect, so I took a chance and ordered the coffee table and the end table. I 'm so glad I did because they were just what I was looking for. I had a problem with the coffee table arriving with the bottom plate damaged, it was broken and crushed in the corners. I called customer service and they were very nice and helpful. They sent me a replacement part pretty quickly. Very happy with Overstock customer service... The set looks great for the price. In fact I liked the set so much that I ordered the matching sofa table.
Arrived within 3 days,easy assembly. Fits in great between sofa and loveseat.
We purchased this table as well as the coffee table and they look great next to our section. Very good quality and easy to assemble.
II purchased 2 of these tables, they are nice, but they get wobble easily and I am constantly tightening up the screws. I like the style and it makes my living room complete. I gave it a four star because of the loose screws other than that It would of gotten a five star.
This product is great, and beautiful happy to have it in my home I would like a coffee table to go with it and another one to use by the sofa.
Ordered two tables. they look beautiful. excellent quality of the wood. One of the glass table tops had a scratch. No hassle getting it replaced.
I purchased (3) of the end tables in a set along with the coffee & sofa tables. They were all easy to assemble with only (8) screws each. The shipment was delayed several days for bad weather, but they were worth the wait. One of the end tables has a vertical line on a leg & I had to fine another screw ( one was bent ). I should have ask for another leg, but we just turned it toward the wall. The dark colored set looks excellent in our great room.

Welcome to the Carnival of Money Pros: Tax Rush Edition! If you have your returns filed already, good for you. The procrastinators have until Tuesday to get those returns in or file an extension.
Here's a couple nuggets of info while you rush to get those returns in on time. The current U.S. tax code is now 3.8 million words long and there have been about 4,428 changes to the code in just the last 10 years. It's a good thing we remember it all.
The good news is a few people in Washington want to simplify the tax code. I'm hoping simplify is just a nice word for a total gutting, slash and burn, shock and awe transformation.
But until that happens, we at least have some reading to do, thanks to the Carnival of Money Pros!

Linsey @ 1099 Mom writes Think Twice About Accepting Unsolicited Guest Posts on Your Blog – Guest posting used to be a relatively innocent way to get more exposure for your own blog by providing high-quality articles for no fee and in exchange for a brief bio or link back to your website. The positive for someone who accepted guest posts was a much-needed break from writing their own posts, or perhaps even a unique point of view to help grow their blog readership.

To be honest, I'm still on the fence about the whole Avengers thing, but with Joss Whedon directing, it turns out every new tidbit is like nerd catnip, so here's your breathless coverage. As they say, daddy ain't allergic to cash money, and neither is mommy's cooter (mommy being my favorite stripper, Darla). The new trailer after the jump is in German, but it does have a couple new scenes, and Latino Review helpfully provides your translation. Wait, did you say Latino? (*locks car doors*)
First, there's an extended dialogue between Steve Rogers and Tony Stark. Here's the translation:
Tony: And following orders is obvious not my style.
Cap: And everyone knows that style is all you care about.
Tony: From all the people around here, who wears the most figure-hugging outfit?
The second addition is the last scene. Stark is literally prodding Bruce Banner testing his patience, trying to get Banner to Hulk out. This is the translation:
Tony: I promise a stress-free environment. No surprises.
Banner: Ow!
Cap: Hey!
Tony: You really got it under control, don't you. What's your secret? Relaxing Jazz, Bongo Drums?
Cap: Is everything like a joke to you?
Tony: If it's funny!
With Joss Whedon onboard, I guess I'm not surprised at the kitsch level, but if Tony Stark is going to be so goddamn self-aware about everything, I just hope he'll be equally scrutinizing of Hawkeye and Black Widow.
"Hey, Tonto, as long as you're resurrecting obsolete technologies, why don't you snap us a fake Polaroid on Instagram? And then later, maybe you and Busty von Judochick here can whip us up some sandwiches while me and the other superheroes fight crime. Hey, have you seen my assistant or is she out hawking $1500 cake knives again?"

LEWISTON - The Portland Pirates made a triumphant return to a sold-out Androscoggin Bank Colisee Friday night, dominating the last two periods while rolling to a 7-4 win against the Worcester Sharks.

WHO: Pirates at Manchester Monarchs
WHEN: 7 p.m.
It was the first win of the season for the Pirates, who were making their first appearance at the Lewiston arena since the 2009-10 season.
"It means a lot for Lewiston," said Tim LaFrance, owner of East Coast Sign and Design in Lewiston. "As you can see with the crowd here, we've been striving for some good hockey."
Lewiston hockey fans haven't had a local team to cheer for since the Lewiston Maineacs folded in 2011 after eight seasons in the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League.
"It's good hockey, and it's nice to see a full house here in Lewiston," former Lewiston mayor Larry Gilbert said. Attendance was 3,737.
"I was a season-ticket holder the first year when (the Pirates) won the Calder Cup, and I remember coming out (of the Cumberland County Civic Center) and people all over downtown Portland blowing horns, and it was awesome. You know, it's nice to see Portlanders come to Lewiston for some good hockey."
It was the first of six games the Pirates will play in Lewiston this season. They face the Binghamton Senators next Saturday at the Colisee following three road games.
Chris Conner and Oliver Ekman-Larsson each scored two goals as the Pirates evened their record at 1-1.
"It was a pretty exciting game, back and forth for a lot of it," said veteran center Alexandre Bolduc, who had a goal and an assist. "I hope (the fans) enjoyed it. We heard how loud they were, and we fed off it."
Portland opened an early 2-0 lead, but the score was tied 3-3 after one period. The Pirates moved into the lead for good when Conner scored his second goal on a breakaway 2:31 into the second period.
Seven minutes later, Bolduc notched his first of the season for a 5-3 lead.
"We got off to a good start, and we let them back into the game," Bolduc said, "but that's stuff we can work on."
Worcester's Tim Kennedy, who spent the 2008-09 season with the Pirates, converted a turnover into his first goal of the season to reduce the Portland lead to 5-4 with seven minutes left in the second period.
But Ekman-Larsson scored his third goal of the season about four minutes later to restore the two-goal lead.
Brett Hextall and Andy Miele also scored for the Pirates.
"You've got to find a way to win games, and, at the end of the day a win is a win," said Conner, a veteran of five NHL seasons who also had two assists. "We get what we can from it, and look to be better tomorrow,
Sebastian Stalberg, Sena Acotaste and Yannu Gourde each had a goal for Worcester.

" I found this book to be a compelling and thoughtful look at the potential links between environmental toxicity and the alarming rise in the rates of autism. Without hysteria or straying into speculation, Belli provides a wide range of evidence for "our chemical world" as she puts it as a root cause (if not the only cause) of autism.
