The group had great admiration for Whistler which is abundantly clear in this evening scene with its overtones of Whistler's nocturnes. Kennedy painted this work while staying at Stirling and introduces a feeling of movement and excitement in the foreground figures to contrast with the areas of delicate greys, touched by the evening sun and the glow of the locomotives' fires. The work is also interesting from a social perspective as it is a rare record of the customs of the travelling public in Victorian times and a unique depiction of the Scottish railways.

Pennsylvania swing state in 'hot' political race
Total People in Discussion: 1
By Steve Esack
Categories: Current Affairs, Politics
It's no secret Attorney General Kathleen Kane has turned heads in Harrisburg since taking office in January.
She closed a gun purchase loophole that allowed state residents, barred from getting handguns here, to apply for a permit in less-strict Sunshine state. Then she tossed Gov. Tom Corbett's plan to privatize Lottery's management. She got pledges of more funding from lawmakers during budget appropriations hearings.
Well, it turns out Kane is making waves on the national scene too. But not for her political and law enforcement work.
It's for her looks.
Kane is in the running for the hottest attorney general in the nation, according to a poll being conducted by Richard Viguerie's ConservativeHQ.com, a website where conservatives and teabaggers go to learn how to think.
Kane's up against, Pam Bondi of Florida, Lori Swanson of Minnesota and Kamala Harris of California.
Viguerie made the poll after President Barrack Obama called Harris "the best-looking attorney general in the country" during a fund raiser on April 4 in California, according to a news release.
The poll started April 9 and only included the eight female attorney generals holding office in the country. Kane apparently made the Final Four and remains in the running for the crown of "America's most attractive female attorney general."
There were no men in this contest. But if you want to see ripped male politicians, google "shirtless congressmen" and see what amounts to political discourse in this country.
Current Comments
Focusing on someone's physical looks (regardless of whether it is complimentary or critical) rather than policy denigrates the work female (or male) public officials do for our communities.
I agree entirely with former Congressional candidate Missa Murray Eaton. She posted this comment on my Facebook page and I believe it bears repeating here:
"When will we decide that criticizing women on their looks and putting them in pageants is not acceptable? If you disagree with someone, criticize her ideas, not her looks. And this, of course, goes the other way, too! Quit complimenting women on their appearances, relegating them solely to the role of eye candy!" -Missa Murry Eaton

Canadian Natural Resources has been fined $10,000 by Alberta's professional engineering society — the maximum allowed — following an investigation into an accident at an oilsands site that killed two and injured five.
The Association of Professional Engineers and Geoscientists of Alberta said Wednesday that the company has admitted to unprofessional conduct on how it dealt with contract engineers.
On April 24, 2007, workers were building a 20-metre high oil tank at the Horizon oilsands project north of Fort McMurray, Alta. when cables holding up a roof support structure snapped due to high winds.
The falling steel structure broke apart, with steel debris striking an electrical consultant, killing him. A scaffolder was crushed and died on the way to the hospital.
Two other workers were seriously injured and three others suffered minor injuries.
The engineering association found that the steel cables supporting the roofing structure were inadequate and did not meet regulations, and that the person who designed the construction procedures was not a professional engineer in Alberta.
In addition to the fine, the association said Canadian Natural Resources (TSX:CNQ) will have to pay, up to a maximum of $150,000, to help develop a new practice standard on outsourcing engineering and geoscience work in the province.
Canadian Natural Resources said in a statement that it is looking forward to developing the new standards and that a senior member of its leadership team will actively participate and work together with the association on the initiative.
The company also said that it had changed its safety practices following the tragedy and now requires contracting companies to provide evidence of qualifications before engineering work is done.
"We take every incident seriously," said company spokeswoman Julie Woo in an email. "Following this incident, CNRL took steps to advance our processes to ensure health and safety standards are consistently met by all contractors."
Last February, Alberta Occupational Health and Safety released the results of its investigation into the accident and concluded that the company did not do enough to ensure that one of its contractors had construction plans certified by a professional engineer.
Sinopec Shanghai Engineering Co., the Chinese engineering firm that Canadian Natural Resources contracted out to, pled guilty in 2012 to three workplace safety charges, while 29 charges against Canadian Natural Resources were stayed.
Engineering association spokeswoman Gisela Hippolt-Squair said the association is reviewing provincial legislation for the first time in 30 years and plans to recommend increasing the maximum fine for permit holders to $500,000 per violation.

5 fresh, homemade salsas
By: Carolyn Malcoun
Monday, May 4, 2009
Tomorrow is Cinco de Mayo—olé! We're way too busy this week to throw a proper dinner party on a Tuesday night. Plus it's a "school night," so we're just going to have friends over for a low-key margarita and chips-and-salsa party on our deck. It's a good excuse to get together and unwind after work. And since most salsas taste better with age, I can make them tonight. (And if you do have time to throw a dinner party, check out our
Healthy Mexican Recipe Collection!
My favorite salsa is
Salsa Rojo
. It's a homemade version of the tomato salsa served at taco stands and burrito joints everywhere. Try it with all your favorite Mexican foods—it even works as enchilada sauce.
Tomato & Green Olive Salsa
is a zesty spin on standard tomato salsa that includes sliced green olives and hot pepper relish. Serve as a dip with toasted pita chips or spoon over grilled fish or chicken.
Watermelon Salsa
with tortilla chips as a refreshing alternative to a tomato salsa. Sweet, savory and crunchy salsa accompanies grilled pork or chicken rather nicely.
Crisp, peppery diced radishes, sweet, juicy mango and tart lime juice have opposing flavors that come together here to create salsa nirvana in
Mango-Radish Salsa
. Serve with grilled fish, steak or chicken or just put out a dish of it with some crisp baked corn chips.
Tomatillos are delicious raw, but they take on a sweet, smoky flavor when cooked on the grill for this
Grilled Tomatillo Salsa
. This quick salsa is delicious on a chip, makes a great topping for grilled meats and fish and it's excellent with eggs and corn tortillas. If you like, add some diced avocado just before serving.

CALERA, Alabama -- Gov. Robert Bentley this morning announced $372 million in the final round of funding through the state's massive road and bridge improvement program, making an emphasis on approved funding for the needed Interstate 65 overpass widening project in Calera.
Standing at the Burton Campers business in Calera with Highway 31's interstate overpass in the background, Bentley said the $1 billion Alabama Transportation Rehabilitation and Improvement Program focuses on jobs and roads.
"Many of them are crumbling and they need repair," Bentley said, noting the Calera project in the background. "It's just too narrow to handle rush hour traffic. ... It creates a major bottleneck on Highway 31."
The Calera project, valued at $10 million total with 20 percent as a local match coming from City of Calera coffers, is not only a traffic issue, "it's a public safety issue and it's an economic development issue," Bentley said.
"This is a major project for this part of the state," he added.
The interstate overpass will expand to six lanes from two lanes, and the project will mean the city will "be able to recruit more companies to this business park," the governor said.
The ATRIP funding had 693 road and bridge improvement projects already approved before today's announcement of the final round, which will cover additional projects in 45 counties receiving funding.
The final round of funding will mean $23.4 million for Jefferson County, $50 million for Madison County, $22.1 million for Mobile County, nearly $24 million for Shelby County, $17.1 million for Tuscaloosa County and $15.6 million for Lee County.
Other counties are receiving ATRIP funding, while some are getting money for roads and bridges through the Rural
Assistance Match Program, known as RAMP.
State Rep. Mac McCutcheon of Huntsville called the ATRIP funding the "most aggressive transportation program that we have ever had in the history of Alabama."
The program has addressed needs in all counties in Alabama, McCutcheon said, noting that "no one was left out."
"Infrastructure is so necessary to economic growth," said the representative, who serves on the committee that evaluates proposed funding. "It will help jobs and create jobs."
State Sen. Paul Bussman of Cullman, also on the ATRIP committee, said the funding will reach all corners of the state. "Every person in Alabama will benefit from this project," he said.
The projects came from local input and emphasize priorities in the various communities, Bussman said.
"Over 90 percent of the projects that have been let have been let to Alabama companies," he added.
The governor is continuing his announcement of the last round of ATRIP funding with an appearance in Autauga County for a ribbon-cutting to celebrate the completion of a widening, leveling and resurfacing project along County Road 1 between U.S. Highway 82 and State Highway 14.
The Autauga County project was the state's first under ATRIP.
"Not only has it improved the roads and bridges, it's
kept people working," Bentley said of ATRIP.
Bentley said there are no immediate plans to increase funding for the program. "Do we feel like this addresses all of our needs? No, but it will address most of our needs across the state," he said.
Check back at AL.com for a complete list of ATRIP projects under the latest round of funding.

Ruby - modern scripting language
In this ever-changing world of software development it's extremely important to keep up with current technologies, methodologies and trends. It can easily get out of hand though – simply there's not enough time for anyone to learn all new stuff, work and live a normal life simultaneously. Selection is thus the key, being smartly selective about new things to learn so we won't miss important stuff but also keep 'junk' or unimportant trends out.
About Ruby:
Wondering why Ruby is so popular? Its fans call it a beautiful, artful language. And yet, they say it's handy and practical. What gives?
The Ideals of Ruby's Creator
Ruby is a language of careful balance. Its creator, Yukihiro "matz" Matsumoto, blended parts of his favorite languages (Perl, Smalltalk, Eiffel, Ada, and Lisp) to form a new language that balanced functional programming with imperative programming.
He has often said that he is "trying to make Ruby natural, not simple," in a way that mirrors life.
Ruby is simple in appearance, but is very complex inside, just like our human body.
Seeing Everything as an Object
Initially, Matz looked at other languages to find an ideal syntax. Recalling his search, he said, "I wanted a scripting language that was more powerful than Perl, and more object-oriented than Python."
In Ruby, everything is an object. Every bit of information and code can be given their own properties and actions. Object-oriented programming calls properties by the name instance variables and actions are known as methods. Ruby's pure object-oriented approach is most commonly demonstrated by a bit of code which applies an action to a number.
In many languages, numbers and other primitive types are not objects. Ruby follows the influence of the Smalltalk language by giving methods and instance variables to all of its types. This eases one's use of Ruby, since rules applying to objects apply to all of Ruby.
Ruby's Flexibility
Ruby is seen as a flexible language, since it allows its users to freely alter its parts. Essential parts of Ruby can be removed or redefined, at will. Existing parts can be added upon. Ruby tries not to restrict the coder.
For example, addition is performed with the plus (+) operator. But, if you'd rather use the readable word plus, you could add such a method to Ruby's built-in Numeric class.
class Numeric
def plus(x)
y = 5.plus6
# y is now equal to 11
Ruby's operators are syntactic sugar for methods. You can redefine them as well.
Blocks, a Truly Expressive Feature
Ruby's block is also seen as a source of great flexibility. A programmer can attach a closure to any method, describing how that method should act. The closure is called a block and has become one of the most popular features for newcomers to Ruby from other imperative languages like PHP or Visual Basic.
Blocks are inspired by functional languages. Matz said, "In Ruby closures, I wanted to respect the Lisp culture."
%w[Google Yahoo MSN].mapdo|engine|
"http://www." + engine.downcase+".com"
In the above code, the block is described inside the do ... end construct. The map method applies the block to the provided list of words. Many other methods in Ruby leave a whole open for a coder to write their own block to fill in the details of what that method should do.
Ruby and the Mixin
Unlike many object-oriented languages, Ruby features single inheritance only, on purpose. But Ruby knows the concept of modules (called Categories in Objective-C). Modules are collections of methods.
Classes can mixin a module and receive all its methods for free. For example, any class which implements the each method can mixin the Enumerable module, which adds a pile of methods that use each for looping.
class MyArray
include Enumerable
Generally, Rubyists see this as a much clearer way than multiple inheritance, which is complex and can be too restrictive.
Ruby's Visual Appearance
While Ruby often uses very limited punctuation and usually prefers English keywords, some punctuation is used to decorate Ruby. Ruby needs no variable declarations. It uses simple naming conventions to denote the scope of variables.
· var could be a local variable.
· @var is an instance variable.
· $var is a global variable.
These sigils enhance readability by allowing the programmer to easily identify the roles of each variable. It also becomes unnecessary to use a tiresome self. Pretended to every instance member.
Beyond the Basics
Ruby has a wealth of other features, among which are the following:
· Ruby has exception handling features, like Java or Python, to make it easy to handle errors.
· Ruby features a true mark-and-sweep garbage collector for all Ruby objects. No need to maintain reference counts in extension libraries. As Matz says, "This is better for your health."
· Writing C extensions in Ruby is easier than in Perl or Python, with a very elegant API for calling Ruby from C. This includes calls for embedding Ruby in software, for use as a scripting language. A SWIG interface is also available.
· Ruby can load extension libraries dynamically if an OS allows.
· Ruby features OS independent threading. Thus, for all platforms on which Ruby runs, you also have multithreading, regardless of if the OS supports it or not, even on MS-DOS!
· Ruby is highly portable: it is developed mostly on GNU/Linux, but works on many types of UNIX, Mac OS X, Windows 95/98/Me/NT/2000/XP, DOS, BeOS, OS/2, etc.

40in and bigger panels coming.
It seems that Panasonic thinks its promise of 40in OLED TVs by 2011 isn't quite good enough. That deadline has been brought forward a year, according to Nikkei, with Panasonic partnering with Sumitomo Chemical Co. to produce the panels needed for these TVs.
What the partnership entails is anyone's guess at this point, although OLED production does presumably require at least some chemistry expertise. Panasonic says it is working with other partners, too, although those haven't been specified.
The partnership will see the development and manufacture of 40in and larger OLED panels. Panasonic apparently hasn't made any decisions about the commercialisation of these panels as yet. It wouldn't be surprising if the company is waiting to see what its competitors are doing before making any firm plans itself.

Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney says he can't imagine calling the killing of a U.S. ambassador a "bump in the road."
His comments Monday were veiled criticism of Obama for his comment in an interview broadcast Sunday.
In an interview with "60 Minutes," Obama said "there are going to be bumps in the road because ... in a lot of these places the one organizing principal has been Islam." Obama was asked about recent events in the Middle East but not specifically about the attack in Libya that killed Ambassador Chris Stevens and three other Americans.
Romney told ABC News that he couldn't "imagine saying something like the assassination of ambassadors is a bump in the road."
White House spokesman Jay Carney called the GOP criticism desperate.

I've read about yogurt cheese in clean eating magazines and books. It's basically yogurt that has been thickened by removing the whey, so you can use it to replace things with higher fat sugar content. It takes a bit to adjust since it really isn't the same as cream cheese, but it's really versatile, really easy and much healthier. Here's what you do:
Place a piece if cheesecloth or coffee filter in a strainer, fill it with yogurt. Put it over a bowl to catch the whey. Cover and let this sit in the fridge for several hours, depending on the consistency you want. The longer you leave it, the firmer it will be.
It can be used for dips and spreads, as a replacement for sour cream and cream cheese. This way you can add what you want, and sweeten it if you want. Try mixing it with nut butter, fruits or herbs and use it as a spread for bagels and sandwiches. I'm not sure if using flavoured yogurt would work to make flavoured spreads but I reallly can't see why not. I'd be curious to know. Since I started making my own yogurt, I have a good supply of plain to play around with. Recipes can also be found with a good Google search or cookbook. Here's a couple:
Boursin Style Yogurt Cheese
Peanut Butter Cup Cheesecake
I'm going to attempt to replace some cream cheese in Dave's birthday cheesecake with yogurt cheese. I haven't been able to find the recipe that's in my head. I think I will just experiment and see what I can come up with by combining recipes, fingers crossed. I'll let you know if it turns out or if it's a total disaster and I end up hitting up the grocery store bakery.

There are a lot of products I'm excited about using with this guy I didn't use with Easton. I really had no idea what was out there in the whole wide world of baby things, so I didn't know what I was missing out on! But hey- mommy blogging keeps you a little more in-the-know 😉
One thing I didn't have with Easton was a car seat cover. And while it wasn't something he desperately needed, it would've been a really nice way to keep the sun off him, and to keep strangers from ogling over him while he was napping (my biggest pet peeve).
And that's why with little man on the way I had to find one. But I had a few requirements. 1) It couldn't be ugly. I know that's silly, but with so many options out there I didn't want to spend money on one that wasn't cute. I'm the one carrying it around. 2) It had to actually cover the carseat. Not just awkwardly drape around it, but cover it. And 3) It had to be efficient space-wise. I carry a Fawn Design diaper bag and find that it's pretty spacious, but I also have to start packing for two. While I generally don't carry much for Easton, babies need a lot more with them.
The Loved Littles car seat cover not only fills my immediate needs as a car seat cover, but also takes on three more roles: a nursing cover, high chair cover, and shopping cart seat cover. That means that I'll only need to carry this one item and I'll automatically have four things with me. How awesome is that?!
Now I know I haven't gotten to actually use it beyond just testing it out, but I'm totally sold on this. It's not just a super cute cover, but it's functional and lightweight so when it inevitably hits that obnoxious 100+ degrees here I'll feel comfortable using this product to block the sun from our babe because I'll know he's not going to have tons of extra fabric trapping the heat around him.
Plus, it's black + white striped and absolutely adorable. I love the stripes. They're not too pattern-y, and they're super gender neutral so I'll be able to use it with any future babies we have, boy or girl.
But the best part? It's only $18 on Amazon! Click here to shop this cover!

— General Motors is once again in court to defend itself against claims that an ignition switch moved out of the "run" position and caused injuries in an accident.
The New York trial is underway after the first so-called bellwether ignition switch trial ended after the plaintiff was caught lying in court. That trial came to a close when the judge heard enough and told both parties to settle the case and get it out of his courtroom.
GM hid the ignition switch defects for over 10 years while consumers were killed and injured in accidents that were later attributed to the faulty switches.
More than 30 million GM vehicles have been recalled to replace ignition switches that can suddenly move out of the "run" position and move to the "accessory" or "off" position. A simple bump in the road or a heavy key ring can cause the switch to move. Drivers quickly find the power steering and power brakes gone and in some cases, the ability of the airbags to deploy is lost.
The Saturn Sky Crash Case
U.S. District Judge Jesse M. Furman is now hearing evidence concerning a January 2014 crash in New Orleans that involved two people in a 2007 Saturn Sky. Plaintiffs Dionne Spain and Lawrence Barthelemy say GM is responsible for the accident because the automaker ignored the ignition switch defects for 10 years.
The accident occurred while driving the Sky on the Crescent City Connection Bridge in New Orleans. The lawsuit alleges the switch is what caused the car to crash, but GM will allegedly use police reports that say at least 35 other cars crashed that night because of ice on the bridge.
In addition, the automaker says the crash wasn't much of a crash based on damage to the Saturn that showed scrapes on a bumper but not one dent anywhere.
Spain and Barthelemy want GM to pay damages for the cost of medical care they endured because of the accident, but GM argues the accident caused only minor aches and pains and the couple didn't suffer any permanent injuries.
"Sometimes, accidents just happen," Mike Brock, a lawyer for GM, told the jury.
1,700 Ignition Switch Cases in the Queue
The case, Barthelemy, et al. v. General Motors LLC, will be used to understand how to proceed concerning another 1,700 cases filed for injury and wrongful death claims.
The automaker has already paid large sums of money to settle previous lawsuits from consumers and investors. GM settled two separate cases for $575 million concerning 1,385 death and injury claims and a shareholder suit.
In addition, GM's compensation fund paid out $595 million to resolve claims for 124 deaths and 275 injuries caused by the defective ignition switches.

Press Club November 5th!
A new Ryan Halpenny poster masterpiece here can mean only one thing - a new No No Zero show to announce! Facebook event link!
Coming up soon: November 5th at The Press Club in Toronto, with two of the city's finest - Bruised Knees and Planet Creature.
Bruised Knees have been described by none other than Lonely Vagabond himself as, "avant-garde trance-rock splashed with an electronic sheen, primal drumming, and haunting vocals. Hypnotic and raw."
Does this convey that they're good & noisy? I think that's important.
As always, the proof is in the pudding -
Planet Creature are a quintet with some beautiful harmonies (and flute!). Optical Sounds, who released last year's Pigeon EP, call them, "bubble-gum babes with pop-garage sensibilities."
Their own twitter feed (!) describes them thus: "5 girls. 1 part bubble gum 2 parts punk 3 parts pop 4 parts rock. shake, serve and repeat."
If you're still not sold, check out their very sweet video (shot in Kensington Market) for "Das Pirates" -
Remember, remember, the fifth of November!

Total Solar Eclipse (credit: GIPHY)
It is no big secret that a total eclipse of the Sun will cross the United States from Oregon to South Carolina on Monday, August 21st. The numbers of Americans who live within 100 miles of the 70 mile-wide 'zone of totality' may be more than 100 million and there is excitement everywhere. Visitors to the US are expected from countries around the world to witness one of the greatest natural wonders unfold.
While the solar eclipse itself is very well known, less so are festival-like activities in each state along the path planned in celebration. There is a wine-tasting festival at wineries in Oregon and an "eclipse clock" in Jefferson City, Missouri markging the minute-by-minute countdown to eclipse day.
State Maps from NASA of Total Solar Eclipse Available for Download here
Three examples of some very cool solar events you might choose to take part in over the eclipse weekend:
1. Global-wise: You are invited to become part of a first-of-its-kind "citizen science" project, gathering scientifically valuable data from the total eclipse by uploading images and video to: EclipseMega, the movie. Originally proposed by the Space Sciences Laboratory at UC Berkeley, the now organized global project: "will gather images of the 2017 total solar eclipse from over 1,000 volunteer photographers and amateur astronomers, as well as many more members of the general public and stitch these media assets together to create an expanded and continuous view of the total eclipse as it crosses the USA". This massive 'big data' cache will become reference material for expanded knowledge of solar phenomenon and be made available for future eclipse observers.
2. Wyoming: The eclipse will cross the entire state of Wyoming. Along with the adjacent Idaho, Wyoming will have the highest probablitly of 'clear skies' during the entire progression of the solar event. Casper, in the center of the Cowboy State and sitting directly on the line of totality, has organized its own eclipse festival but other special eclipse activites are planned statewide. They include traditional Native American celebrations in the Wind Rivers region; Grand Teton mountain guides have organized climbing trips to the top of the peaks---those choice viewing spots have been 'sold out' for months---unfortunately; and bottles of small-batch 'eclipse whiskey' have been made by the craft-bourbon distillers at Wyoming Whiskey. Some of the special sipping whiskey is still available but at the distillers in Kerby, WY.
3. Nashville: The famous Tennessee music city is directly inside the path of the eclipse and will experience one of the longest periods of totality in the country, almost 3 minutes. Nashville is also the largest city in the US the eclipse will cross as it moves east towards the Atlantic coast. As fitting for a town with as much musical and entertainment talent as Nashville, the city has organized a series of events including concerts, parties, and BBQ's over a weekend of celebrations. They've even created a "playlist" of songs to celebrate the eclipse including popular tunes by Dolly Parton, the Beatles, and Johnny Cash, among others. Nashville's food haunts will likely be offering some of their best southern recipes in celebration.
So wherever you're at, try to locate an opportunity and participate in an eclipse event. You will be amazed at one of nature's most awe-inspiring wonders and have a good time to boot!

The screwball plot begins with Felicity (Laura Benanti) waking up next to a dark-skinned stranger named Zamir (Amir Arison). "It's Irish," he says. She can't remember how she got there, but apparently it involved drinking and Hooters and an impromptu wedding performed by a porno minister (John Pankow, insisting, logically, "God created sex. And He watches it; why shouldn't we?"). An annulment seems the appropriate course, but mere mention of the word sets off Zamir's temper, and his violent ranting leaves her unsure whether he's a fearsome terrorist or a simple scumbag. Felicity's father, a hawkish homebody (Richard Poe), brings in a couple of confederates code-named Scooby-Doo (Audrie Neenan) and Looney Tunes (David Aaron Baker) to get to the bottom of things. Meanwhile, mother Luella (Kristine Nielsen) handles this—and all other trauma—by delivering unprompted lectures on theatre. (She rather liked Wicked, but has a friend who thought the appropriate response to The Coast of Utopia was suicide by force of will.)
As satire, Torture is neither deep nor devastating. Of recent works, The Lieutenant of Inishmore (whose author, Martin McDonagh, is name-checked in one of Luella's rants) found a scarier, funnier take on the cycle of violence. But Durang makes a virtue of his scattershot brand of comedy. The antidote to narrow-mindedness is a retort that isn't so sure of itself. Oh, Durang's sure the world is maddeningly, dangerously absurd, but he doesn't know what we can do about it. Hence, he gives us a play that doubles back on itself, searching for a way to head off catastrophe and climaxing with a bizarre yet charming fantasy sequence at a version of Hooters you've never seen before. (The wonderful comic actor Brooks Ashmanskas is billed as Hooters consultant.)
Nicholas Martin directs with a keen comic eye, nestling the action in David Korins' perfectly detailed series of revolving rooms. Benanti, the radiant musical-theatre standout who recently picked up her first Tony (for Gypsy), makes for a skilled straight man. Durang regular Nielsen is at her loony best, suggesting in her rubber-faced grace a female counterpart to Zero Mostel. And Poe is peerless in his acid-etched cartoon of a right-wing zealot. The only weak spot is the usually dependable Arison, who isn't convincing as a menacing security threat; he comes off as too much of a mensch.
If Durang's absurdism—more South Park than Ionesco—hasn't previously been to your taste, this play isn't likely to convert you. But I found that about two-thirds of its jokes hit the mark. Given Durang's joke density, that's a lot of laughter.
Presented by and at the Public Theater,
425 Lafayette St., NYC.

Since 2008's economic slump, many companies have been focusing on restructuring, and ultimately recovery rather than growth. However, with the economy picking up, 2014 is sure to be a year of transition and accelerated growth for many of these same companies. This period of growth will lead to increased competition for top talent between you and your competitors.
In Bersin by Deloitte's Predictions for 2014, Principal and Founder Josh Bersin, sites some of the areas that are currently having difficulties in recruiting due to a shortage of people with the key shills required.
Although unemployment rates remain high among many groups, recruiters are still finding it a challenge to secure enough highly skilled workers. For this reason, companies looking to accelerate their growth should turn their focus on employee retention, both inwardly and outwardly. Your organizations external communications should convey a strong employment brand, while also remembering to treat every employee as an ambassador for your message.
Internally, companies must also make it a priority to keep engaging employees. According to a recent Gallup poll, only 20 percent of workers report being "happy." As the economy improves, people will have more options to start changing jobs so employers must create additional value in the workplace. Some suggestions to do so below:
According to Deloitte by Bersin's research on employee engagement and retention over the years, there are a variety of important factors that contribute to retention:
As you continue to focus on growing your business in 2014, it will be crucial to remember to put an emphasis on retaining the best talent to stay competitive.

What would Keynes have said about the FOMC press conference?
The observation by British economist John Maynard Keynes that, "in the long run, we are all dead" has added importance in light of the negative response to Janet Yellen's first press conference. When pushed on the issue of how long is a long period of time following the conclusion of quantitative easing, Ms. Yellen possibly gave away more information than she had wanted by suggesting "six-months". While on the one hand she has disrupted the fixed income markets, notably the shorter-end of the curve, she now has the market's full attention. In 2013 when Bernanke let the cat out of the bag on the onset of tapering, he caused similar disruption sending the dollar on a steep upwards trajectory. The market took plenty of persuasion from Bernanke before it dropped its passion for connecting tapering with a stronger dollar. The link between the reduction in its monthly volume of bond purchases and the first take off in the fed funds rate gave way by the end of August as the dollar rally faded into the background.
We feel that despite the removal of the 6-1/2% threshold for the unemployment rate from the FOMC statement, the tone of the Fed's message changed little this week. As we noted in the aftermath of the press conference, Yellen was quick to attribute equal air-time to the prospect of deflation as she afforded to inflation. In that light it is worth turning back to another famous Keynesian quotation when he noted that "when my information changes, I alter my conclusions. What do you do, sir?"
Several onlookers noted in response to her delivery that the Fed was even more dovish on the prospects for the first increase in rates even though that's not at all how the market responded. She seemed to draw on the nascent theory that the post financial crisis era has delivered a so-called "new normal". Under the conditions of still constrained household balance sheets and a slower labor market recovery, the overall economy seems incapable of generating the robust pace of growth that it was so renowned for ahead of the crisis. The permanent removal of profligate lending in an environment of galloping house prices, which in turn reinforced consumption and tighter labor markets, will have lasting impact on the trajectory of the economy. It's like to be difficult to return to the long-term normal level for interest rates, which the FOMC deems to be around 4%. In that regard it is worth looking at the most and least optimistic views from the Summary of Economic Projections in light of the potential tenure of the so-called "long-run".
What the fixed income market overlooked most at Yellen's debut was the fact that not only is inflation missing from the admittedly slow economic rebound, but no one can say with any certainty under this new-norm that it will accompany the economic cycle this time around. If the composition of the employment aspect of the recovery is atypical, then perhaps so too should be the developing trend for inflation ahead. If wage pressures continue on their low trajectory, wage inflation may evade the recovery and leave the Fed with little rationale to push rates higher let alone toward that 4% long-run normal level. The arbiter here will likely be the path of the 10-year yield. Despite the mayhem in the Eurodollar futures market, the yield on the 10-year treasury moved by a mere 6bps to 2.76% as three-month forward yields shifted by as much as 25bps.
What we learned last summer is that when the central bank does something to captivate attention, just as Ms. Yellen appears to have done this week, it takes about three months to recover clarity. Such clarity may be forthcoming in two forms through the spring months. First, we might expect Fed speakers to reinforce the balanced view on inflation in a slow-to-heal labor market. Second, investors could figure that the economic data is likely to continue in its same-old-new-normal way, which hardly calls for any shift in short-term interest rates for a long, long time. In the meantime the volatility stoked by Ms. Yellen could provoke a decent rebound in the allure of the dollar given the jump in two-year yields on the fear that the central bank might act faster than previously thought.

The Exosuit
To study the behavior of fishes and invertebrates that live in the oceans' depths, scientists need to observe and interact with these animals in their habitats. But how?
Conventional no-decompression SCUBA diving only affords routine excursions to the first hundred feet of depth. Advanced techniques allow for diving to several hundred feet, but human physiology sets practical limits for the type of work and amount of time at that depth.
The Exosuit, the newest generation of atmospheric diving systems, keeps the pilot protected from the effects of pressure and will allow a trained pilot to perform delicate work at depths of up to 1,000 feet (305 meters) for hours. Together with a remotely operated vehicle (ROV), the Exosuit will provide new ways for scientists to observe, photograph, and collect marine life in areas that are otherwise difficult to explore.
The first-production Exosuit will be tested as a scientific tool in July 2014 on the Stephen J. Barlow Bluewater Expedition, in partnership with J. F. White Contracting Company.

There are nine head coaches in the FBS who have just completed their 11th season coaching college football and seem like they'll keep their job after the … More
The top 10 highest paid coaches in college football consist of four in the SEC (Steve Spurrier, Les Miles, Kevin Sumlin, Nick Saban), four in the Big Ten (Kirk Ferentz, James Franklin, Urban Meyer, Mark Dantonio) and two in the Big 12 (Bob Stoops, Charlie Strong). More
The Final Four isn't just a battle between young players and school traditions. It's also mind games between head coaches, with John Calipari (Kentucky) and Billy Donovan (Florida) representing the ones who have already won the national championship, while Bo Ryan (Wisconsin) and Kevin Ollie (UConn) are in the national semifinals for the first time in their career as head coaches. More
The money is in the NFL, especially when it comes to head coaches, as eight of the top ten highest paid head coaches in North American pro sports are in the sport of football, with Sean Payton, Bill Belichick, Andy Reid and even new guy Chip Kelly rising high above the others when it comes to their income. More
Expectations of each football program is different, but it's safe to assume that Lane Kiffin, Mack Brown,Paul Johnson, Steve Sarkisian, Gary Pinkel and Paul Pasqualoni will be the first head coaches to get fired after the 2013 College Football seasons if they don't meet the early season expectations.

Six head coaches from the SEC, two from the Big Ten and two from the Big 12 make up the Top 10 of the highest paid College Football coaches in 2011. More

Police were today stepping up the hunt for football thugs involved in chaotic scenes at last month's Stadium of Light England match by releasing new pictures.
Troublemakers brought disgrace to the region with fighting, racist chanting and pitch invasions during the Euro 2004 qualifier at the Sunderland ground, which England eventually won 2-0.
Football Association chiefs were hit with a #70,000 fine from UEFA and warned England could be kicked out of the championship.
Today, 29 photographs are to be released by Northumbria Police in a joint bid with the FA to track down offenders.
The FA's director of marketing and communications, Paul Barber, was due to make a public appeal at a press conference later today, where he will be joined by Northumbria Police assistant chief constable David Warcup.
The Euro 2004 qualifier against Turkey was also marred by racist chants and supporters invading the pitch after both goals.
More than 100 arrests were made as hooligans from Newcastle and Sunderland fought running battles. Supporters from Leeds and Middlesbrough also clashed.
The FA has decided against taking up tickets for the return match in Turkey in October.
And UEFA bosses were thinking of forcing England to play the clash with Slovakia at Middlesbrough's Riverside Stadium behind closed doors, although they later backed down.
UEFA spokesman Mike Lee warned at the time: "The eyes of the world are on European football and the FA is at the forefront of that and they know it.
"On this occasion, it was decided it wasn't appropriate for England to play behind closed doors, but it's clear from the decision that it's not ruled out in the future."
Before the match, police had feared problems between England and Turkey fans, which date back to the fatal stabbing of two Leeds United supporters after a UEFA Cup game in Istanbul three years ago, could lead to violence.
But with no Turkish fans involved in trouble, about 200 Newcastle and Sunderland followers set about each other in the city's streets before turning on the police.
Officers were pelted with missiles including bottles, cans and wheel hubs.
The biggest single arrest of thugs from the two groups came in the Albion Pub in Southwick Street, Sunderland, three hours prior to the match, when 25 people including known hooligans were arrested.
As kick-off approached, riot police clashed with hundreds of supporters on the stadium approach.

As the title says what goes with what with regard to supplements. Is there a chart anywhere that puts the information clearly.I have read but can't remember where (foggy brain) that if you take certain vitamins or other supplements you need to take so and so to balance or support it. If there isn't one perhaps we can put one together with amounts and proper names?
Particularly interested in vitamin B12 as mine is only 311( sorry no range given) which doctor says is normal.
Hope you can help please.

Buffalo Anchor/Reporter Leaving Gannett Station/
WGRZ Anchor/Reporter Pete Gallivan is leaving the Gannett station and getting out of TV News.
Gallivan, who has been at the NBC affiliate for 17 years, is going to work in the communications department in Gov. Andrew Cuomo's Buffalo office.
"It all came together really quickly," said Gallivan. Gallivan gave his two-week notice today and was told by station management that today would be his last day because he is going into a political job that might conflict with news reporting.
"I'm 47," Gallivan explained when asked why he was leaving local TV news. "I wasn't looking for an opportunity and they reached out to me. I thought if I was going to try something new, now was the time to do it."
Gallivan spent years as WGRZ's morning anchor, but was demoted when the station had John Beard took over his morning slot in September of 2009.

Men and women alike share a common desire to have healthy youthful skin. Chemical Peels reduce the appearance of fine lines, acne scaring, uneven skin pigmentation, large pore size, and sun-damaged skin. Chemical Peels are topically applied and they create a uniform and controlled shedding of several layers of the skin. Depending on the nature and depth of the peel, a significant number of layers can be exfoliated allowing new growth to be exposed, creating a fresh vibrant appearance. There are a variety of peels to choose from. Some peels will allow you to return to your activities and normal makeup routine the next day while other peels require additional time for the light flaking process to take place.
Skin Renewal Peel – fine lines and wrinkles
Skin Perfection Peel – Adult recurring acne
Repair Peel – Sun damaged, sensitive skin
Replenishing Peel – Anti-aging hydration
All Peels $75 and include Perfecting Mineral application.
When you purchase 5 you get the 6th Free
Recently asked questions:
How much downtime is expected with a skin peel?
There is no downtime whatsoever with our chemical peels. You can actually receive a peel on your lunch hour and return to work.
When will I start "peelings", for how long and how much?
Everyone's experience will be different. However, on an average, you will see flaking by day two or three following the treatment. It is possible to see flaking for up to five or six days. With all peels, only light to medium exfoliation will be A. experienced.
How irritating is a skin peel?
PCA and PRIORI peels are only slightly irritating. You may experience very mild burning or stinging, which is transient.
Can a person who is in the sun a lot receive a skin peel?
Yes, only if they are compliant with using sunscreen protection.
What is the difference between PCA skin peels and glycolic peels?
Glycolic acid will dehydrate skin and make pores larger after extended use. PCA uses lactic and citric acids which are skin-friendly because they are natural constituents of your skin. Our peels are unique because they are moisturizing A. and hydrating and leave your skin fresh, soft and supple.

Outside of Vatican City, Rome Travel Guide
Outside of Vatican City Summary
- Close to St. Peter's Basilica, the Vatican Museum, and the Sistine Chapel
- The Pope gives public blessings on Wednesday mornings when he's in town
- Priceless artwork and sculptures in the Vatican Museum, as well as Michelangelo's famous ceiling in the Sistine Chapel
- Clean, safe area with trattorias, osterias, and upscale shops
- Easy access to public transportation
- Located close to parks and the Tiber River
- Family-friendly area
- Dress code enforced inside Vatican City (no exposed shoulders or short shorts allowed) (a pro for some)
- Dining options in the area far from Rome's finest
- Far from ancient Roman ruins and other popular neighborhoods
What It's Like
Vatican City is one of the most popular tourists sites in the world, let alone Rome, and staying in the area around it certainly has its perks. Known as the "Borgo," the area is clean and safe with plenty of restaurants, cafes, and upscale shopping. The Pope holds public blessings on Wednesday mornings when he's in town, drawing heavy crowds to the area. Don't think twice about booking here if you're in town to see the Holy Father, the Vatican Museum, and the Sistine Chapel. However, there is very little to do at night, and it's far from Rome's other popular ancient monuments.
Where To Stay
The quality of hotels in the neighborhood ranges widely: It's not uncommon for a hostel-style dive to be steps away from a high-end property. The area revolves around the Vatican, so booking as close as possible to the Holy See is will give easy access to restaurants and cafes. The area northeast of Vatican City up to the banks of the Tiber River has a good concentration of the area's best hotel options.

Research Project
Grant-in-Aid for Scientific Research (A)
The microstructrual features, crystallographic orientation relationships and compositional variations across the interface in diffusion couples bonded at low annealing temperatures were investigated by analytical electron microscopy (AEM). The surface activated bonding (SAB) method was used as a technique to produce the diffusion couples. The surface of the sample was ion-beam sputtered before diffusion bonding in order to clear-off the oxide layer or contamination at the bonded interface. In the Ni/NiィイD23ィエD2A1 diffusion couples prepared by the SAB method, the Ni-rich solid solution phase (γ) grows towards the NiィイD23ィエD2Al-based intermetallic phase (γ') during diffusion annealed. The γ/γ' interphase interface is flat and parallel to the bonded interface in the couples prepared by the SAB method. The γ and γ phases in the Ni/NiィイD23ィエD2A1 diffusion couple annealing at 1123K has the same crystallographic orientation. On the other hand, the γ and γ phases in the Ni/NiィイD23ィエD2A1 diffusion couple prepared without sputtering and diffusion annealed at 1123K has a different crystallographic orientation. It is clear that the sputtering of bonding interface has a large effect on the growth process of phases in the diffusion couples. Fine-grained aluminum alloys were processed by the equal-channel angular pressing (ECAP) technique and the grain boundary diffusion was examined using the diffusion couples prepared by the SAB method. The interdiffusion coefficients in the fine-grained diffusion couples are significantly larger than those in coarse-grained couples particularly at lower annealing temperatures. The activation energy of diffusion in the fine-grained diffusion couple was estimated to be about two third of that in the coarse-grained one. It is clear that the SAB method is very useful to prepare the diffusion couples at lower bonding temperatures and enables to study the low temperature interdiffusion process by analytical electron microscopy.

(Mid-Illini/Mid-State 6 basketball round-up)
Limestone went into the Devils' den and didn't get burned.
Limestone went into the Devils' den and didn't get burned.
Marquis Lobdell had 24 points to lead four Limestone boys basketball players in double figures as they beat Quincy 65-54 Saturday night to complete a perfect run through the Blue Devils' round robin.
A big fourth quarter in the hosts' notoriously wild gymnasium made Limestone perfect in its first four games of the season.
Limestone held Quincy (1-2) to 18-for-47 field shooting, 1-for-10 on 3-pointers. Meanwhile, the Rockets were 25-for-57, 5-for-20 from beyond the arc.
Tyler Christiansen had 16 points for Limestone, Donivine Stewart 12 and Demarius Sumrell 10.
At Woodruff
The host Warriors went undefeated in their own tournament for the first time in its six-year history.
Woodruff defeated Pekin 73-52 in the tournament finale. Tylander Amos had 19 points to lead Woodruff, and D.J. Hoskins hit four 3-pointers in the first quarter as the Warriors took a 23-9 lead.
Hoskins finished with 18 points. Kain Hoeniges and Tom Lohman each scored 12 to lead Pekin.
Playing Saturday morning, Woodruff started slowly but outscored Chicago Vocational over the next three quarters to pull off a 59-56 win. All eight Warriors who played scored between 3 and 12 points, but it was a pair of sophomores who delivered the key basket.
Clinging to a five-point lead with two minutes to go, Trey Dorsey chewed up the clock in the frontcourt. As the shot clock ticked down, Dorsey beat his defender off the dribble and slipped a nice bounce pass to Ty Amos filling the lane. Amos got the layup-and-one to put Woodruff ahead by eight and the Warriors held on to avenge their only loss from last year's event.
Pekin rolled past Chicago Schurz 71-38 behind 26 points from Hoeniges, who scored 15 in the first half. Schurz managed only five second-half field goals.
At Lincoln
Manual split its final two games in this round robin.
In its opener Saturday in this round-robin event, Manual had a rough middle two quarters in a 66-37 loss to the hosts. Lincoln outscored Manual 40-14 over the second and third periods. Manual shot only 30 percent from the field in the first half (6-for-20) and 32 percent for the game (13-for-41).
Then again, the way Lincoln was shooting, it probably didn't matter. Lincoln made 65 percent of its shots (26-for-40), 70 percent after halftime (16-for-23).
Paris Gulley had 13 points for Manual, and teammate C.J. March scored 10.
Later, Manual started well and rolled past East St. Louis 83-58. Manual shot 60 percent from the field in the first half (18-for-30) and led 45-23. Gulley had a game-high 25 points, Marvin Jordan had 18 points and March scored 17.
At Washington
The middle quarters were beneficial to Notre Dame in its 80-44 Tournament of Champions victory over Linn, Mo.
ND outscored Linn 44-15 in the second and third quarters. Linn made only 7 of 24 field shots (29 percent) in the first half. Meanwhile, ND was 18-for-31 (58 percent).
That percentage also turned out to be ND's final total.
Max Bielfeldt scored 18 to lead ND, which also had 15 points from Charlie Bryant and 12 from Tyler Les.
Jayme Donnelly scored 22 to lead Linn.
Later, Indianapolis Howe beat East Peoria 80-55, thanks to big first and third quarters. Bryce Donaldson had 13 points to lead East Peoria.
At Decatur
Central lost to Harvey Thornton 76-39 in the consolation-title game. No other information was made available to the Journal Star by its press time Saturday night.

Ohio voters can prepare for two primaries in 2012 after the governor signed a bill on Friday night to hold most national contests in June with local primaries still taking place in March.
Gov. John Kasich signed the bill Friday, in order that it go into effect before the Jan. 21 deadline for local boards of election to ship ballots to members of the military overseas.
The Ohio House of Representatives less than an hour earlier approved a Senate move to hold state, local and U.S. Senate primaries in March, while presidential and U.S. House primaries would take place in June.
The measure is intended to give lawmakers more time to come up with new congressional districts after the GOP-drawn map passed in September was put on hold while a Democratic-backed coalition tried to put it before voters for possible repeal in 2012.
Lawmakers from both parties met behind closed doors on Friday, but left with no compromise map.
Members of both parties took turns bemoaning the move and assigning blame to their opponents.
GOP Rep. Matt Huffman, who sponsored the original congressional map bill, said Democrats would rather see a federal judge draw the map than lawmakers elected by the people of Ohio.
"When I see a referendum (ballot repeal effort) which is designed to defeat the right of people to pick their congressional representatives, in my mind that's our republic slowly sliding into the water," Huffman said.
For their part, Democrats blamed Republicans for everything from not giving voters enough time give feedback on the map before its approval to drawing maps that didn't accurately represent Ohio's political leanings.
"Something as important as this (congressional map) should have been reviewed a little more by the public at large," said Warren Democratic Rep. Tom Letson.
"It doesn't really matter that you didn't let the minority party do it _ we're so far in the minority, it doesn't matter _ but there are 11.5 million people out there in the state of Ohio that deserve more respect from you."
Many Democrats also called the measure irresponsible, pointing out that it will cost taxpayers and additional $15 million to hold a second primary.
"Once again the Republicans have done what is in their best interest and not that of Ohioans," Democratic House Minority Leader Armond Budish said in a statement.
In a dueling statement, Republican House Speaker William Batchelder countered that the measure would save local elections boards money by moving special elections scheduled for August to June alongside the primary races, eliminating the need for them to pay for another separate election.
The battle is the latest in a fight that has been going on since the GOP-drawn districts were introduced on Sept. 13.
Last Friday, the Ohio Supreme Court ordered Secretary of State Jon Husted to accept petitions from a Democratic coalition that is seeking have voters weigh in on the maps on 2012 ballots.
Ohio Democratic Party Chairman Chris Redfern told reporters on Monday that he will withdraw the petition if legislative Republicans work with Democrats to create a map with more competitive districts _ one that more accurately reflects Ohio's political makeup, which he said is close to evenly-split.
An analysis by a coalition of voter groups contends that 12 of the 16 districts were drawn around voters that favored GOP candidates, while only four leaned Democratic.
The ruling from Ohio's high court came in response centered on a move by Republicans that they argue should have shielded the bill from repeal. GOP senators added money to local elections boards to help them implement the map.
Typically bills making appropriations are not subject to repeal efforts, but the court said it interfered with Ohioans' right to strike down laws they don't agree with.
Democrats and voter groups have long criticized the districts _ one stretches from Toledo to Cleveland and another crescent-shaped district touches parts of 13 counties from Appalachia to Amish country. They are the lines were being penned politically to preserve Republicans' majority in Ohio's congressional delegation.
Republicans defend their maps as fair and legal.
In a statement in response to Redfern, Republican House Speaker William Batchelder wrote that the maps passed both chambers with bipartisan support.
In Batchelder's House, three of 40 Democrats crossed party lines to vote for the map in a chamber of 99 representatives. In the Senate, two of 10 Democrats signed on in support of the districts, in a chamber of 33..
