Jason Campbell laments the games the Browns were supposed to win after quarterbacking them to the loss most people expected.�
The air had long since gone out of the 2013 season.
The Steelers kept stomping the limp balloon.
It was 17-0 in the fourth quarter when Lawrence Timmons smothered Jason Campbell for a sack with the Browns backed up to the Ohio River. Punt.
As Pittsburgh drove for more points, rookie No. 6 overall pick Barkevious Mingo stood on the sideline with his hands on his hips. Wide receiver Greg Little sat perfectly still on a heated bench, an orange coat draped over his legs, not watching the game.
Players who had seldom seen the field in 2013 populated formations as the dreadful exercise played out.
Not even Pittsburgh fans saw any point. About 50,000 showed up for the early part of the rain-soaked battle. Perhaps 25,000 remained midway through the fourth quarter.
A glum season in a grim era eventually ended with a 20-7 loss and a 4-12 record.
"Difficult day, difficult season," said head coach Rob Chudzinski, who late Sunday was fired by the team.
Chudzinski's year ground to a halt 364 days after a 24-10 loss at Pittsburgh ended Pat Shurmur's employment. Shurmur's 2012 Browns went 5-11, a game better than "Chud's" first and only edition.
Tight end Jordan Cameron, one of five Browns going to the Pro Bowl, thought there would be a second edition.
"I'd be shocked (if Chudzinski got fired)," Cameron said. "I'm all for Chud. I support him 100 percent."
He made it clear it wasn't his call.
Cameron and fellow Pro Bowler Josh Gordon padded their stats, which already looked good. With five catches for 69 yards, Jordan finished with 80 catches for 917 yards. With seven catches for 82 yards, Gordon ended with 87 catches for an NFL-best 1,646 yards.
Gordon played with the stomach flu. Perhaps because expectations were low, with the team ending in a 1-10 tailspin, the game seemed sickly. The Browns actually led in total yards, 293-292, but never seemed in the game.
"A lot of guys were able to get opportunities to play," said Chudzinski — he was facing a team still in a playoff hunt while test driving injury replacements. "We weren't able to get the job done.
"I thought the guys wanted the game badly. We all did."
After falling to 1-7 as this year's most-used starting quarterback, Campbell said it was "super hard" to go out the way the team did.
"The guys were putting the effort out there to win, but we weren't getting results at the end," said
The Steelers were favored by 7 and were up 7-0 right away. After the Browns went three-and-out, Ben Roethlisberger drove Pittsburgh 62 yards for a touchdown.
Many Browns appeared to be in the game mentally, early on.
Safety Tashaun Gipson kept an ongoing animated conversation going with Leon McFadden to help the rookie cornerback with assignments.
New running back Edwin Baker made a few nice runs.
Bill Winn blew threw right tackle Marcus Gilbert for a rousing sack — Roethlisberger seldom goes straight down — to force a punt.
Losses at Pittsburgh have been automatic, though.
The Steelers beat the Browns for the 10th straight time at Heinz Field. The Browns fell to 0-11 in season finales against Pittsburgh (home and away) since 1987.
By halftime, Pittsburgh led 14-0 in points and 184-97 in yards. It was 20-0 before Fozzy Whittaker, No. 35, scored a a 35-yard catch and run.
"Without a doubt, you could say we fought the whole game," said center Alex Mack, whose contract is expiring. "It was a tough game, slippery ball, constant rain.
"We had a couple of shots and we missed them."
The best shot came early, when the Browns trailed 7-0 but got an interception from linebacker Craig Robertson. They took over at the Pittsburgh 35 but couldn't parlay the chance into points.
Much of the crowd left after the Steelers took a 14-0 lead into halftime.
Afterward, Campbell made an odd observation:
"This season would have been a lot different if we would have won a lot of those games I thought we were supposed to."

For the indoor season Lipscomb will attend two meets in Nashville hosted by Tennessee State University. The first meet of the indoor season is the Ed Temple Classic this Sunday at Tennessee State.
They will also travel to Southern Illinois University for the SASF Invite and to Indiana University for the Hoosier Hills Invite. East Tennessee State University will host the 2009 A-Sun Indoor Championships in Johnson City, Tenn.
"It's a good indoor schedule for our program philosophy," said head coach Bill Taylor. "We really focus on peaking at the end of the outdoor season, so the indoor season is a great time to get back into race mode and see where we are."
The outdoor season opens with three relatively low-key meets at Savannah State, Birmingham-Southern and Austin Peay, before amping up with highly competitive meets at the University of Alabama, Duke, Western Kentucky, Memphis, Drake and the University of Georgia. The 2009 A-Sun Outdoor Championships will be hosted by the University of North Florida in Jacksonville, Fla.
"I really like our schedule this year," said Taylor. "We start the season pretty low-key, which will allow us to adapt to outdoor racing again and play with events, and then we transition to some terrific meets with the kind of competition that will help our athletes take their performances to the next level.
"Alabama was a great meet last year, so we look forward to going back down there. Western Kentucky University and the University of Memphis's meets are new to our schedule. I think they will be great opportunities for our athletes. Duke is a huge and incredible meet. It continues to build our big meet experience. Drake Relays is a very prestigious event and should be incredible for those that qualify. Georgia is the last meet before conference and is the perfect tune-up meet."
The Mt. Sac Relays and the Stanford Cardinal Invite, both in California, are also on our schedule.
"Like the Drake Relays, only those that qualify will have a chance to participate in those two extremely competitive meets this year," said Taylor. "The opportunity is available to any of our athletes that excel to get that experience.
"Last year we took some athletes to the University of Oregon for a meet. I am hoping to make that an every other year trip, especially as our program improves rapidly each year. "
One of Taylor's goals is to upgrade the schedule each season.
"Every year I look to upgrade our schedule to mirror the advancement of our program and to provide the opportunities our athletes need," said Taylor. "Our schedule this year provides opportunities for all of our athletes at every level and our top athletes on the team can strive to reach the marks that get them into the best meets in the nation."

Thus, they will suc¬ ceed in having as many Nazi lawyers as Jewish lawyers, and they won't have to persecute the Jewish Lawyers. The Nazi Scene The Nazi scene should offer, it would sccni, a most fertile field for the talents of Kanffinan and Ryskind. Consider' the recent Gemian election for instance. What a show scene that would make!. The holding of an election for candidates for the Reichstag with only one party offering candidates. I,can see the street procession. The big signs bla7x>ning: "VOTE FOR THE NAZI CANDIDATES. DON'T VOTE FOR ANYBODY WHO CAN'T BE '^pTED FOR." . can sec the intense anxiety as the electorate waits to hear whether the Nazi ndldates win or not.

Go Big: Floor-to-Ceiling Kitchen Shelves
I know: open shelving is a little contentious. Some love it, while others decry it as a messy grease-and-dust magnet. That may be true in certain cases, but there's something very appealing (at least to me) about floor-to-ceiling versions, in particular, as opposed to one or two shelves hung above the sink. Here's why:
In the case of open shelving, I stand by the sentiment to go big or go home. When you extend shelves to their full height — reaching them closer to the ground and up to or near the ceiling — suddenly those shelves become an interesting structural or architectural detail in the kitchen. Even if they're packed with stuff, it immediately looks more deliberate. Essentially, you can get away with more when you totally go for it. One or two floating shelves looks like an afterthought; floating shelves that reach eight feet up the wall look like a design decision.
Does anyone agree with me? Or are open shelves still not your thing no matter how much of the wall they take up?

Top Ten Favourite Battle Themes In Anime
I actually had this idea for a fun topic a while ago, then forgot about it, but now I remember. The idea is for people too list there top ten favourite battle themes from any anime for other people to compare and talk about. Here are the loose rules for the thread:
1. The song has to have been used during a sequence where combat is happening. People can use their own judgement, but it should hopefully be fairly clear if it's meant to be for combat.
2. The song can be either vocal or instrumental, it doesn't matter.
3. Give the name of the song followed by the anime in brackets. If you don't know the songs name then shame on you for listing it. Just kidding, but let us know where it appeared and the series in which it did.
4. As an option you can explain why you like a certain song.
5. Preferrably list your picks in descending order of 10 to 1.
Here I go then.
10. GX that Running Past (Gundam X): A piece featuring lots of drums, an ominous brass background portion and lots of power. Kind of sounds like it belongs in an old James Bond film.
9. Ground Zero (Brain Powered): Orchestral piece played when the Baron Zu attacks. It's flighty and fast paced and makes the Baron Zu's presence feel like a demonic and dangerous one. It also sounds a bit like the Dragon Quest battle theme at certain points.
8. Trembling Lives (Victory Gundam): Song played when the League Militaire characters are at a disadvantage. Again a very orchestral piece with a foreboding tone.
7. Fleet Battle (Zeta Gundam): Used during the huge battles. Very very dramatic and epic sounding.
6. The White Ghost (Victory Gundam): Orchestral song with several layers of music that's usually played during battles in the lower atmosphere. It seems designed to evoke a feeling of aerial combat, as this is the first Gundam series where some of the units can actually fly on their own power and they liked to do it a lot.
5. Ground Operation (Zeta Gundam) A pure product of the 80's with lots of synth sounds, and pumping background beat, and an overall dramatic feel to it.
4. The Blue monday e'r'ectrical parade (Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann): A techno beat that first plays during the second half of the series, and remains the mainstay battle them for the series. The perfect song for when lots of explosions are going off. Somebody also needs to make a dancestep of this for DDR.
3. Dogfighter (Super Dimensional Fortress Macross): A very fast passed song that works well with some of the tense battles of the series. It also has a fantasy feel to it, which is really neat as you see the characters soaring through the skies and dodging missiles.
2. The Militia March (Turn A Gundam): A military march used in some of the combat sequences in the series, as well as during the end credits. It has a civil war era flair to it with drums and trumpets, as well as a large build up to a climax (seems to be a staple of Yoko Kanno BGM), and remains one of the most unique pieces I have ever experienced in an anime.
1. Dogfight (Macross Plus): This song keeps on building to one hell of a climax, and uses a full orchestra for the piece. It's so ingrained in me that on some layer of my subconcious the song is always playing and threatens to burst to the upper layer. Anytime I think of music it often pops up too and I start humming it.

In my mind, not a single song can beat
Do you remember love (Macross Movie "Do you remember love?" sung by Lynn Minmay (CV: Mari Iijima). It is slow-paced, but suits perfectly well in a fateful battle in which the human culture was at stake against destruction ... and culture prevailed. Of course, it is a love song.

The first thing I thought of when I saw this thread was "Kakusei" (Awakening) and "Chikyuu Kyoumei" (Earth Resonance) from Chikyuu Shoujo Arjuna. The BGM is of course by Yoko Kanno... But I remember I genuinely had my breath taken away when those songs were used in battle scenes and I couldn't get them out of my head until I finally got a copy of the songs and could play them to my heart's extent. Great choreography + great music = happy me.
Then, of course, there's "Innocence", "Time Limit!!" and "The spirit of FRAMENCO" (no, not Flamenco) from Melody of Oblivion, by Hijiri Kuwano. The anime wasn't all thaaat good after all but one of my most favourite things about it was the soundtrack, and I can still remember being so excited about the episode with Bocca and the bullfighting - I think they used the latter piece, and it was just perfect. I can't think of MoO without thinking of the soundtrack, and when I hear these tracks I sometimes find myself imagining up battle sequences to them.
There's also a good one by Yoshikazu Suo, "Phrygian Koko", except I can't remember where it was used.
I also liked the music from Bakumatsu Kikansetsu Irohanihoheto composed by Hideyuki Fukasawa, but with relevance to this thread it would definitely be "Tsurugi no Sadame". I can't even remember which part of the show it was in exactly apart from it being in the second half or so, but I remember there was a water battle and confrontation with the Head and this music was used. I love the piano crescendo especially.
And I guess this is going to be terribly cliche, but I really did like "Mezame" from the Mai-Hime soundtrack by Yuki Kajiura. For quite some time whenever I thought of "battle scene" I'd think of this song straight away... and then feel on the top of the world. Now, though, it doesn't have nearly the same effect. Speaking of Yuki Kajiura I'm tempted to mention "nowhere" from Madlax but I keep laughing when I hear the song, which probably isn't the intended effect...
Another one is "Shangri-La" from the Noein soundtrack by Hikaru Nanase - to be honest it's kind of overwhelming and a bit too over-the-top, but I'll be darned if I'll ever forget the absolutely amazing battle sequences from episodes 1 and 12 and so on...
But for a long-time irreplaceable favourite, I'd have to say the Rurouni Kenshin battle themes - I just can't remember the track names now because I don't have the soundtrack with me anymore, but one that keeps replaying in my head is one which starts with those picked strings... I almost feel excited just thinking about it

Not implying anything about the Bleach or Naruto in general, I really like their battle themes. I think Bleach's theme was Number One and Naruto had many battle themes in which I can't remember them all. One that I really like is Turn Over.

Shangri-La, Noein, absolutely stunning.
-Final Shore ~ Oo, sairin ariyato, -The Second Advent ~ Turn A Gundam ( I like Final Shore better though)
Junikokugenei Juuni Kokki
Nodos no Tatakai Heroic Age
Battle in the Air Eureka 7.
Gundam Attacks Mobile Suit Gundam, its a classic
And I also have to shamefully admit, I thought Dragon ball and Z had surprisingly good fast paced battle themes (note Japanese version) even though the show was extremely slow paced.

What I can think of at the moment
10. Countdown (Blood+)
9. Souma no Tatakai (Kannazuki no Miko)
8. Non Vocal Version of Dear You -Hope- (Played in Higurashi no Naku Koro ni Kai. during a battle, or near one.)
7. Decisive Battle (Neon Genesis Evangelion)
6. Number One (Bleach)
5. The Rising Fighting Spirit (Naruto)
4. Those who inherit the Will of Fire (Nauto, Played once, in part, during the Invasion of Konoha)
3. Erinyes (played during the Last combat scene in Night WIzard)
2. The theme for the last battle in Full Metal Panic! TSR. It is based on Shouri, but at some points it differs slightly, so as to make a better song. I don't think it was released
1. I say Yes (Wedding Version) From Zero no Tsukaima FNK
Well, that's all I guess

I don't think I could pick 10, but still my favorites are.
美しき光の翼 (Don't know what is called in English)- This was the battle theme when King J-Der appeared for first time.
Yuusha-oh Tanjou!- Loved it during the battle against Primeval.
Don't know the battle theme of Eureka 7, but I loved it.
Evangelion theme such as The Beast, Decisive Battle were really good.
Macross DYRL's final battle, Do You Remember The Love, how can you not love that song.
Of course many of the Fire Bomber's song in Macross 7 are awesome.
Dogfight from Macross Plus was also awesome.

libera me from hell (Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann) - Iwasaki Taku and Shinya & Tarantula
Shiroki Kouro (Toward the Terra) - Takanashi Yasuharu
Kasukanari no Aogi no Sai (Erementar Gerad) - Kajiura Yuki
Bloom (GetBackers) - Iwasaki Taku
Stoner Sunshine (Shin Getter Robo: Armageddon) - Who knows?
BRAVE (Gigantic Formula) - Sawano Hiroyuki
Trombe! (Super Robot Wars: OG Divine Wars) - Hirano Yoshihisa(Orchestral arrangement only)
Justice (Shingetsutan Tsukihime) - Omori Toshiyuki
Nu Gundam (Char's Counterattack) - Who knows?
That's ten, but not in any order though, since they're all equally awesome for me.
Lurking outside ready to get in at the first sign:
Deadly Work (Darker than Black) - Kanno Youko and James Wendt
Get away from here (Kekkaishi) - Iwasaki Taku and Shinya & Tarantula
Kaishou (Gankutsuou) - Kasamatsu Kouji
That theme in Gundam Evolve 9.
And yeah, I'm all for the bombastic type. I need to to stop editing and adding tracks I think up too....

I'll keep walking.
I don't have much time to post mine, so they might not be in the order of importance in my opinion. But let's try:
1) Shouri - As featured in the last episode of FMP! TSR, as someone else mentioned above. The song, added to that battle scene, steals the first place for me.
2) Vestige, by TM Revolution - Oh, come on. You've got to agree that having this playing in the background while X20A launches off of Eternal is quite kickass, right?
3) Storywriter - I think this is one of the greatest songs out there. I always hold on tight to my seat when it starts playing whenever I'm rewatching some of the great Eureka SeveN episodes.
4) Omae no XXX de Ten wo Tsuke! - Not entirely sure wether there is a battle scene associated with this song, but I find it one of the best in the Gurren-Lagann soundtrack. It brings back memories.
5) Number One, Off-Vocal version - Can't help but go "woo" whenever it starts playing. Bleach wouldn't be so fun without it.

I don't think I can name ten, but I'll throw out a few:
1. Gunbuster March: used at the climax of episode 4 in both Gunbuster series. Great song that really enhances the truimphant mood of the episodes. And it's very fitting song since it plays during a huge turning point in the lead characters' development. Seriously, everytime I watch those episodes, I feel like humming the song.
2. dunno the name, but there's this very cool and catchy battle song in Project A ko. I believe it's used in most of the fight scenes. It's a rather simple song, but the synth beat is infectious and enhances the excitement of the film's over the top battles.
3. That song that plays at the end of episode 8 of Gurren Lagann: Like the Gunbuster March, a very heroic and trumphant sounding song. Really made one of the best death scenes I've ever seen even more epic.

And while on the topic of Yoko Kanno, maybe I'll throw in Dragon Reika from the Aquarion OST - I guess it's not my favourite, but I did think it was effective and one track I used to play again and again from that OST. Although, it wasn't actually by Yoko Kanno but Hisaaki Hogari (who is good too).

Sick Weapons -- 'Birthday Gift' (McCarthyism/Reptilian)
Rating: ***1/2 (out of 4 stars) Ellie Beziat has a wicked sense of humor. Some might know this from her raunchy act as a touring member of the Wham City Comedy Tour, but her work as the lead singer of the defunct punk act Sick Weapons can produce just as many laughs. On "Birthday Gift," the Baltimore quintet's long-awaited debut (and only) album, Beziat half-sings and half-shouts self-deprecating, often hilarious lyrics about the afterlife of jerks and awkward interactions with the cable guy. Later, she spews a laundry list of reasons why she wants to have sex ("because I want to have a kid") before making a tennis metaphor ("I'll hit you back like I'm Andre Agassi"). Both of these songs have titles that can't be printed here, which further explains the attitude and spirit of "Birthday Gift." The players behind Beziat provide a sturdy backdrop to the singer's fiery delivery, which is a marvel given the backwards recording process (the band's original drummer left during the recording process, and they brought in War on Women drummer Evan Tanner to redo the parts around the nearly finished record). The riffs -- twangy and danceable -- drive the songs forward, while the drums bang and clang with muscle. "Birthday Gift," mixed by Chris Freeland, is also notable for how good it sounds. Punk records rarely sound this crisp: Guitars warmly resonate, and the drums' snare hits land with pop. Most importantly, there's clarity to Beziat's absurd words. If the record had been purposefully produced in a lo-fi manner or mixed with the guitars as the centerpiece, then "Birthday Gift's" impact would have been wrongly dulled. But Sick Weapons is a clever band aware of its strengths, namely Beziat's magnetic personality and showmanship. While this is undoubtedly a punk album by a punk band, "Birthday Gift" shows the group's range extends beyond the genre's boundaries. "Love Me" begins with guest singer Tina Kalakay sounding almost angelic, singing the song's title a capella repeatedly before Beziat and an angry bass line transform the track into something much more sinister. A trombone shows up on the final song, adding welcome texture to an already rich record. Not all punk bands can pull off moves like these, but Sick Weapons does so seamlessly. But the star here is Beziat, through and through. On the scathing "Anthony Bourdain's Earring," she gets revenge on the "No Reservations" star, who some thought furthered Baltimore's reputation as a city on the decline. In her bratty but loveable way, Beziat not only insults the TV host's fashion sense but also his battle with drug addiction. With her tongue firmly pressed against her cheek, she sings, "Come back when you're a junkie again and maybe this time we can be friends." It's a dark joke, but it's moments like these where Sick Weapons sound like one of the city's most promising bands. The fact that they're no longer together seems like the cruelest -- and most appropriate -- joke of all. --Wesley Case

Jeanne Cooper
Emmy winner starred in 'The Young and the Restless'
Jeanne Cooper, 84, the enduring soap opera star who played grande dame Katherine Chancellor for nearly four decades on
Cooper's son, actor
A Los Angeles resident, Cooper joined the daytime serial six months after its March 1973 debut, staking claim to the title of longest-tenured cast member. The role earned her 11 Daytime Emmy nominations and a trophy for best actress in a drama series in 2008.
"God knows it's claimed a big part of my life," she told the Associated Press in March as the show celebrated its milestone 40th anniversary.
As the years passed, Cooper brushed aside thoughts of saying goodbye to the show and its fictional Wisconsin town of Genoa City.
"What would I do? I'm no good at crocheting. My fingers would bleed," Cooper, then 83, said last year.
Born Wilma Jeanne Cooper on Oct. 25, 1928, in the San Joaquin Valley town of Taft, she studied at the Pasadena Playhouse and the College of the Pacific in Stockton. She performed in local theater productions before beginning her professional career with the 1953 film "The Redhead from Wyoming" starring Maureen O'Hara. Other film credits include 1968's "The Boston Strangler" with
She had a parallel career in TV, with shows including "The Adventures of Kit Carson" in 1953, "The Pepsi-Cola Playhouse" in 1954 and
In a recurring role on "L.A. Law," she played the mother of Bernsen's character, Arnie, and received a 1987 Emmy nomination for best guest actress in a drama. Bernsen later joined his mother on her daytime series, making several appearances as a priest, Father Todd.
Cooper's marriage to producer Harry Bernsen ended in divorce. The couple had three children who also acted: Corbin, Caren and Collin.
Mario Machado
L.A. television reporter, anchor and soccer announcer
Mario Machado, 78, a veteran Los Angeles television reporter, anchor and soccer announcer who also played the part of a newsman in many films and television series, died Saturday of
Considered one of the first Asian Americans to appear on the air in Los Angeles, Machado, who was known for his distinctive voice and smooth delivery, was a fixture beginning in the late 1960s at KNXT-TV Channel 2, which became KCBS, and other local stations.
At KNXT, he started as a consumer affairs reporter, then rose to become the host of "Noontime," a weekday news and interview program; "It Takes All Kinds," a public affairs series; and "Medix," an Emmy-winning medical investigations program.
A self-described soccer fanatic, the peripatetic Machado was also a play-by-play announcer and commentator for professional soccer in Los Angeles, starting in 1967 as the voice of the Los Angeles Toros. He later served as commissioner of the American Soccer League, a professional soccer organization, and was a part owner of the L.A. Aztecs.
Born April 22, 1935, in Shanghai to a Portuguese diplomat father and Chinese-Portuguese mother, Machado was known for celebrating both parts of his heritage, and was active in Los Angeles' Asian and Latino communities. In recent years, he helped gather oral histories of people who left China after the Cultural Revolution for the "Old China Hands" archive at Cal State Northridge.
He appeared in such films as "Oh, God!" in 1977, "Rocky III" in 1982 and the 1971 television movie "Brian's Song." He also played reporter Casey Wong in three "RoboCop" films and appeared as himself in
Bryan Forbes
Director of 'The Stepford Wives' also co-wrote 'Chaplin' screenplay
Bryan Forbes, 86, a British film director whose credits include the original 1970s horror classic "The Stepford Wives," died Wednesday at his home in Surrey after a long illness, family spokesman Matthew D'Ancona said.
Forbes was born John Theobald Clarke on July 22, 1926, in London. He began his career as an actor, playing a number of supporting roles in British films in the 1940s and 1950s, but he soon found more success in screenwriting, and later directing.
He made his debut as director in "Whistle Down the Wind," the 1961 movie about children who come across an escaped convict and mistake him for Jesus. He went on to make films such as 1965's "King Rat," a tale of survival in a prisoner-of-war camp that he also wrote, and "The Stepford Wives," a thriller about sinisterly perfect suburban housewives. Forbes' wife, actress Nanette Newman, appeared in the 1975 film.
He co-wrote the screenplays for "Hopscotch," the 1980 spy caper starring Walter Matthau and Glenda Jackson, and "Chaplin," the 1992 biopic of Charlie Chaplin starring
Forbes also wrote several novels and owned a bookstore in Surrey. His latest book, "The Soldier's Story," was published last year.

Starting in July, Boulder shoppers will have to pay a 10-cent fee on paper and plastic bags under an ordinance approved by the City Council on Thursday.
The council previously approved slightly different versions of the ordinance, but because of some minor changes, it came back for a fourth reading.
All seven council members present voted to approve the measure. Councilman George Karakehian and Councilwoman K.C. Becker were absent at the time of the bag vote, though Karakehian arrived later in the evening.
Karakehian had previously argued in favor of a ban on plastic bags but no fee because it would be simpler and easier to administer.
The fee will apply to all paper and plastic bags at food retailers, including grocery stores, convenience stores and Target. Gas station stores will be exempt if food sales account for less than 2 percent of their business.
Retailers will get to keep 4 cents to cover their costs of administering the program. The city plans to use the rest of the money collected from the fee to pay for education and outreach about reusable bags, including buying and distributing free reusable bags to low-income Boulder residents.
The fee came about after students with the Net Zero Club at Fairview High School argued for a ban on all plastic bags and a fee on paper bags.
The City Council decided to pursue a fee on all disposable bags after representatives of Eco-Cycle said banning plastic would cause people to switch to paper, which has its own environmental problems, rather than to reusable bags.
City staff members had originally proposed a 20-cent fee, but the City Council lowered it to 10 cents.

When it comes to health and disease, many factors can play a role. Inheritance (genes), lifestyle, support systems, environment, infection, accidents, stress and normal aging can all contribute. Many times, several of these factors affect our health. Someone with a family history of heart disease, for example, can reduce risk by eating healthy foods and getting regular exercise. In another example, a person can "catch" strep bacteria from another person with that infection and never develop symptoms of a sore throat. Medical researchers have developed a safe and effective process to understand how all these factors affect our health. First, basic science research uncovers new knowledge about conditions related to health and disease. Next, these discoveries are tested through research studies where people take part. This clinical research is a vital part of the process so that the best medical science can be applied in real life situations to prevent, treat and cure disease.
There are many methods of clinical research, each one giving a different kind of information to improve health and medical care. In some studies, people answer questions with a paper and pencil survey. In others, a person with a medical condition like diabetes might be part of a group getting a new drug treatment when it is still in a testing phase. Several clinical research methods are described below.
Survey research is an important way for researchers to learn more about a health question. In this kind of research, volunteers provide information directly which can include things related to their experience, knowledge, attitudes, family history, health history, and/or health routines. For example, a survey might include questions about what you eat, how much exercise you get, how much you sleep or how your doctor can help you to better care for your health.
Some surveys are done individually where you fill out the information yourself. These surveys can be done with paper and pencil or on a computer and can be done at home, in a group-setting (e.g. a classroom or meeting), or at your doctor's office. Sometimes, instead of filling out the information, surveys are done by an interviewer. Rather than writing answers yourself the researchers write down and/ or record your responses. In addition to structured questions, interviews provide more opportunity for interaction between the volunteer and interviewer than a paper and pencil or computer survey does.
Focus groups are a kind of group interview where the researcher asks questions from the group and gathers responses. In a focus group, you will hear the answers from everyone creating a kind of group discussion.
Information from survey, interview and focus group research can add to health knowledge for better patient care, improved health systems, and better ways to share health messages such as public service announcements for teens on smoking prevention.
Your doctor keeps health records to keep track of your health and to be sure that you are getting the best medical care. Through study of records from a number of people, researchers can learn important things to prevent and treat disease. For example, a study could look at records of people taking two different kinds of medicine for high blood pressure to see whether one group or the other had more side effects. Another example might be to see if there was a difference in smoking rates for patients who had more conversations with their doctor about ways to stop. Now that more and more records are becoming computerized, records can be used more effectively to tell us about health.
The important thing to know is that there are very specific rules in place about using medical records for research that are supervised by the institutional review board (IRB) at the researcher's organization. The main rule is simple: if there is any way that a study can link information in the study back to a particular patient, the person whose record is being looked at must give permission. The "informed consent" for the study will tell you specifically what information in your medical record will be included, how your information will be used, and what protections are in place to keep your information secure.
One of the most important tools a doctor has to screen for and diagnose disease is samples from the patient including things like blood, urine and biopsies (such as skin or colon polyp). For an individual person, analysis of these samples can determine if there are conditions such as diabetes, high cholesterol, gene defect, cancer or pre-cancer. This is very important for guiding the best care and treatment. Samples from a number of people can also be used as a very important research tool to learn about conditions and give guidance for the future care of patients. Many medical breakthroughs in cancer treatment, for example, come from researchers looking at blood and tumor samples in the laboratory. Researchers call these 'biosamples' and use them to develop treatments for cancer.
Just like the situation described above, if a researcher wants to do research with medical samples, there are very specific guidelines that must be followed, and permission from the person must be obtained if there is any possible linkage to an individual patient.
Have you ever watched something and learned from it? Observational studies involve looking at and learning about what happens naturally in a life process. The researcher observes and records information and then draws conclusions. Observation studies can be short-term or long-term and can look at many kinds of health issues. One example would be observing interactions between parents and children and keeping track of time spent using digital devices, compared to direct interaction, e.g. talking together, homework activities, mealtime conversation. A more long-term example would be a study that looked at heart disease in women over a period of years. Information would be collected on regular activities, medical care and heart conditions, but there would be no changes of approach or specific treatments as part of the study. Conclusions in each example would come from the observed information and measurements. If researchers find factors that might prevent or lead to disease, those factors can be tested in a clinical trial.
A clinical trial tests a new approach to medical care such as a drug, medical device, surgery or prevention approach. The term clinical trial emphasizes that the research is in a testing or trial stage before it can be approved for regular medical care. These studies are an essential step to be sure that a new approach is safe and effective for general use. In the case of a new drug treatment, a clinical trial would answer questions such as:
An example would be a breast cancer drug trial to learn whether a new drug is more effective than an existing drug in keeping breast cancer from coming back in women who have been treated previously. For more information see What is a Clinical Trial?.
This is an exciting area of research that continues to grow as a way to learn more about health. In this kind of research, people take part as community researchers, working side by side with medical researchers to identify research questions, design studies and conduct the research. To learn more about this research and how to get involved see Community-Based Participatory Research and Prevention Research Centers.

As the mobile phone continues to evolve, traditional keys may eventually become the handset equivalent of prehensile toes. That, at least, appears to be the case with LG's latest designs.
According to Slashphone, the "LG KE850" has no keypad and instead relies solely on a touch screen to control its functions. Little else is known about the phone, other than it apparently won an award from the International Forum Design in Germany (which is probably why photos of it are being circulated today).
The handset does bear some resemblances to its famous cousin the Chocolate, though there's obviously no slide. But if the design means more real estate for the screen, we're all for it.

Bad Teacher (US - BD)
Gabe goes back to school with a drug addled, curse happy Cameron Diaz...
Chicago middle school teacher Elizabeth Halsey (Cameron Diaz) hates her job, and her students, and her co-workers, but has found her way out of her situation – she's going to marry a rich man. The plan goes awry when her fiancé notices how much of his money she's spending and dumps her (at the behest of his mother). Elizabeth finds herself single, and back working at the school. While suffering through class hung-over, and between fits of cursing out her students, Elizabeth meets substitute teacher Scott Delacorte (Justin Timberlake), the heir of a watch company fortune, and decides to seduce him. Being an incredibly shallow person she decides that a breast enlargement is a surefire way to Scott's heart, and begins hatching schemes to raise $10,000 for the procedure. Meanwhile she makes an enemy out of goody-two-shoes colleague, and shuns the advances of Russell Gettis (Jason Segel), the school's PE teacher, who is a much more obvious romantic fit.
Given the fact that both my parents and my stepmother are teachers, along with several of my friends, and that I'm a generally pleasant person that cares about education, I was especially frustrated with the right wing's recent, despicable vilification of teachers, and assumed Bad Teacher was some kind of irresponsible cash-in on the idiotic movement. This was, of course, an idiotic, knee-jerk reaction on my part, as the film had obviously been in production for some time, and its only real political crime was bad timing. But I'm honest enough to admit that these false assumptions likely coloured my outlook on the film altogether, and that this review may suffer unfair prejudices as a result. The reality of Bad Teacher's politics are pretty clear from the outset, as Elizabeth complains that she took the job with the expectations of short hours and summers off, and that the actual trials of the career vex her. At the same time the filmmakers don't take it easy on teachers, and aren't afraid to make fun of the profession. If they'd pulled punches it would have fallen way out of context with the rest of the comedy. And they're savvy enough to know what buttons to push, even if the joke wears thin relatively quickly. Probably the best joke in the entire film is the ongoing series of movies Elizabeth shows her class before she starts actually trying to teach them. Following school related cinematic 'classics' like Stand and Deliver and Dangerous Minds, she runs out of inspirational movies, and shows Scream, part of which takes place in a school.
Bad Teacher is written by The Office alumni Lee Eisenberg and Gene Stupnitsky, and it certainly shows in the overall comedic tone, along with the character make-up. Our leads are made-up of impossibly sweet people, and impossibly sociopathic people we're forced to like in spite of ourselves. The freedom of an R-rating opens them up to a lot more in the way of obscenity, and they rip into the possibilities pretty early in the film, including a whole lot of cursing, and a refusal to skirt the whole naked breast issue that should go along with their boob-job plot point. Eventually the novelty wears off and they set into their comfort zone, which unfortunately leads them into a more serialized style of storytelling, which doesn't work very well for a single film runtime. Director Jake Kasdan (son of Empire Strikes Back writer, and Silverado director Lawrence Kasdan) does a decent job moving the film along (this extended version certainly slows the pacing), but the story slows substantially after about 30 or 40 minutes. Still, like many harmless, but R-rated modern comedies ( Role Models, I Love You Man, just about anything by Judd Apatow) the film's strengths are mostly found in the characters, not in the filthy bits, or the droningly predictable plot. We all know exactly where these folks will end up by the end of the film, and much of the more heavy-handed physical comedy falls flat, but the honest, occasionally even touching character interactions work relatively well as standalone sequences.
The overall performances, like the writing and direction, are A-okay without overstepping into officially good ground. Elizabeth is an almost impossibly ideal role for the gracefully aging, but not wildly popular Cameron Diaz at this point in her career. She's never been a particularly strong dramatic actress (screams Gangs of New York), but she's always had comedic chops and timing, and successfully revels in the chance to make fun of herself. Lucy Punch (who's apparently going to play Deana Pilgrim on FX's new series based on Brian Michael Bendis' Powers) overdoes it a bit, but also garners some of the biggest laughs. She's easy to root against, despite the fact that she never really does anything wrong, and would be an easy fit for the protagonist of most romantic comedies (turning the audience against her is one of the film's more clever achievements). Jason Segel and Justin Timberlake do quite a bit of comedic heavy lifting with minimal effort, and John Michael Higgins and Phyllis Smith do their part to punctuate the laughs. The only thing missing from the cast are outstanding kid performances, the kind we've come to perhaps unfairly expect from 'adult' films involving child casts thanks to filmmakers like Terry Zwigoff and Richard Linklater. This is less the effect of weak acting on the kids' parts, and more of a problem with Bad Teacher not being an ensemble piece, leading to weak child characterizations.
Bad Teacher isn't a particularly aggressively stylized film, so I don't have a lot to say here other than this 1080p, 1.85:1 Blu-ray transfer effectively exacts the look of a moderately budgeted 35mm film. Director Jake Kasdan and cinematographer Alar Kivilo utilize a lot of source lighting, and maintain a relatively natural, consistent palette. Most of the sets are clearly real locations, and feature minimal texture and decoration, but there are plenty of minor, poppy colour highlights per composition. The costumes are often solidly coloured, specifically Diaz, who wears a lot of blood red and crushed blue. These bolder hues cut pretty nicely against the more subdued backgrounds. There are some minor edge enhancement and blooming effects on the hardest colour edges, but nothing serious. The image is clean overall, with minor grain, but almost nothing in the way of digital artefacts. Detail levels aren't terribly sharp thanks to some middling focus practices, but complex patterns are smooth, without major aliasing effects. Contrast levels are also relatively subtle, but blacks and whites are still quite kosher.
This DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 mix is, like the HD video, overall unimpressive, but gets the job done. The general volume level is a bit lower than I've come to expect from uncompressed mixes, but there's no sign of compression side effects or distortion otherwise. The soundtrack is simple for the most part, depending mostly on Michael Andrews' whimsical score and other musical additions (which often feature heavy bass drum elements), and basic dialogue. The dialogue is clear and consistent, and the music is rich without a lot of surround enhancement, excepting sequences where the music comes from a distinctive on-screen source like a car stereo, or the DJ booth at a school dance. The school halls and classrooms feature a bit of stereo and surround ambience, outdoor scenes feature effective wind and chirping bird effects, and a single bar scene opens up the channels to some basic directional support.
The brief extras start with 'Jams Yearbook Hidden Moments', a database of 12 character bios that include a photo, interests, quotes, and a brief mixed montage of behind the scenes and in movie moments. This is followed by a gag reel (5:00, HD), four outtakes (3:50, HD), and six deleted/extended scenes (5:40, HD). 'Way Behind the Scenes with Jason and Justin' (5:40, HD) is an amusing staged interview bit between Segel and Timberlake who awkwardly bicker as a cow moos in the background. The extras are finished off with a series of featurettes including 'Raising More than Funds' (3:30, HD), a fluffy interview segment with the cast and crew concerning the car wash scene, 'A Very Odd Blacksmith Story' (2:10, HD), where co-writer Lee Eisenberg pretends that the film is actually about his cameo character, a blacksmith, 'Swimming with the Dolphins' (3:40, HD), a discussion concerning actor John Michael Higgins, and 'Good Teacher' (4:00, HD), an occasionally tongue in cheek discussion with the cast and crew about what makes a good teacher, and a selection of trailers. The disc also features an extended footage marker that pops up during the unrated version, which was quite valuable in the name of saving time.
Bad Teacher sometimes feels like an underdeveloped television pilot, and other times it drones on like an overlong Saturday Night Live skit. The final effect is something that sits directly in the center of the quality spectrum. It's entirely average. Its bad moments aren't that bad, and its good moments aren't that great. The film's modest stylistic aims keep the video and audio quality somewhere around adequate as well, and the minimal but entertaining extras impress just enough to satisfy base expectations. Average all around, and worth a rent for fans of the actors.

"It's entirely average."
My thoughts too. The writing really failed what seemed like a win. Especially the contrived ending. The only thing that saved this was its energetic actors ambitious to make the script more than what it was. You have to give them props for that. Plus - we never get too many answers to our questions. Why is Miss. Halsey so "bad" and "angry?" Why did she even choose teaching as a profession? No reason.
"Bad Santa" was a much better examples of a mean-spirited character done right.

Who and what we are is simple, whether you feel it is a desire based thing (it's not ) or having no Sexual attraction to others..one thing is certian..asexuality is full time asexuality....everything else is a variance of sexuality
Now it's okay me saying that and many do agree with my point of view but some, as human nature dictates..feel differently...so how do we at least as a community come to a common ground? Whilst never definitive, census's and polls are pretty much good reference points but what happens when they are done and some still refuse to admit what their own community says?
in 2014 aven, along with many other asexual type of groups launched across the asexual internet the 2014 aven asexual census..this wasn't restricted to aven as anyone could have an input as the census was hoping to include as many within the Asexual communities as possible...the idea behind it was to see who we are, where we have come from, where we are and where we need to be
I would like to add this at the beginning..their is a huge difference between being an asexual and claiming to be part of an asexual online forum group as the 2014 census will show..what i'll do first is show the link for the 2014 census and go through some of the key points but leave the entire link up for you to make your own minds up...I would show the 2015 census but for feelings that I often have said...I feel they are deliberatley surpressing this for the reason I will discuss later...
2014 census on asexuality ..it shows the questions that were asked and the results through accepted means..the links are within this link.... https://asexualcensus.wordpress.com/tag/aven-census/
49.2% claimed to be asexual instead of the "spectrums"
26.6% said they were straight
The largest age group involved were 22 and the largest range group was between 16-26
63.4% identified as still being in education of some kind
27.2% were the largest group in regards to the religous question and that group identified as Atheist
63.6% identified as American
77.3% identified as White
62.1% identified as female
22% only identified as hetero romantic
74.9% identified as coming out but the question did not clarify whether that was in the real world or the online world.
53% identified as tumblr community and aven english, 28.3%
74.6% identified as lgbtq+
93.6% identified as LGBTQ+ Identification by Romantic Orientation
8.9% only said they they did not feel Asexuality was part of the lgbtq+
88% said Asexuality should be part of the lgbtq+ umbrella
65% identified as never having had sex
88.1% identified as non celibate
55% of those claiming to be asexual also claimed to be sexually repulsed
from this we can conclude most people thinking they are asexual are not but are in the sexual spectrum
most will be white females in higher education/ college and between the age of 16-26 with the largest group at 22
Most will be Americans
most will be lgbtq+ in support and personal sexual/romantic identification
so when I say the largest group of people claiming to be asexual of some kind are sexual white gay chicks in america and in college..I am pretty much right...but being correct in this modern age is not something that seems to be fashionable
particulary I found the belonging to the lgbtq+ umbrella figure puzzling..certianly every poll in aven has said with a majority that asexuality should stand on it's own two feet and not belong to a sexual body like the lgbtq+...so around the same time I launched two threads...a much more simplified attempt which allowed for user comments also
These are they
http://www.asexuality.org/en/topic/1048 ... el-part-1/
http://www.asexuality.org/en/topic/1052 ... el-part-2/
These again bore out that largely as an asexual online community... the largest group is as before ... so when I say the largest group of people are sexual white gay chicks in america and in college..I am pretty much right
This and only this, is the reason why I feel they are supressing and hiding the 2015 census nearly 6 months after closing it. i believe that given the way people are using terms to shut others down more than at any other time in our history...I feel the figures will again see the largest group are sexual white gay chicks in america and in college..I am pretty much right...they are hiding the 2015 census because they know the figures by its own people will support what I have said and many have suspected.
So how do we convince others our identity is just not the latest fad among internet savy college kids?..because at the momment asexuality has a pr crisis... we are trying to tell society, our friends and our loved ones that we are not a phase for sexual white college internet gay kids who think asexuality is the new hip thing but our own polls and census's show for the majority...it is
As a pr exercise we are trying to tell people that cigarettes are one of your five a day....and no one believes that either
some of us have tried to say..hey..we have an image/integrity problem..lets steer it back on course...this has led to the type of approach we now see as the standard in our colleges...incidentally the same age group as the largest member group
We have today..the highest level of people in the west, going into higher education..into places of learning, being open minded and trying to learn others views...that same group are also some of the dumbest f*cks in history who when faced with facts, even by their own communities...they stick their fingers in their ears, put something over their eyes then start singing lalala i'm not listening ( by chance one of the main requirements to be an aven admod ) and should you press with honesty the problem that they all know is true but refuse to accept..then they will try..guess the next line..shut you down. which is reflected surprise surprise within the online communities age group and current educational status
The largest group identifying as some form of asexual is sexual white gay chicks in america and in college...we know this to be the truth but seem unwilling to do anything about this false impression of full time asexuals and asexuality..we would rather hound the truth sayers than admit we have a issue
and if we can't ban them then we put up protected walls around our comunity so no one can see how silly asexuality has become and dress it up as "safe place"...safe for what? lies?...because the truth is being persued vigourously to shut it down..how is lying about asexuality better than telling the truth about asexuality??????
So next time you tell your parents, relatives and friends and they cast doubt over your asexuality and you ask why do you not believe me...our own figures say we do not even believe it ourselves
we are at a crossroads......if we are ever to stop being seen as sexual white gay chicks in america and in college...then we have to be honest with ourselves...we also need to take back the reigns somewhat and also take some personal responsibility to bring asexuality back from a fashion phase in college
if we do not...then we have no right to expect others to believe who and what we are, when we do not believe it ourselves
When Asexuality lies to itself
For discussion of general issues pertaining to asexuality.

Never Breathe a Word
The Collected Stories
Caroline Blackwood
Counterpoint: 366 pp., $26
It is clear that we read for pleasure; what is less obvious are the varieties of pleasures we experience. Pleasing isn't always pleasant. Take Caroline Blackwood's stories -- they are rare in their brutal exposure and are deeply troubling to read. Yet "Never Breathe a Word" is nothing less than a marvelous slide into an emotional abyss.
In Blackwood's stories, women -- almost always women -- have quietly slipped outside their conventional roles. An aging actress feels "fierce and defeated and futureless." While we're ready to accept that such a woman might have no future or feel defeated, is she allowed to be fierce? What kind of damage might she wreak, driven by a powerful anger and with nothing to lose?
Most of Blackwood's characters come from such places: They inhabit danger zones of keen intelligence, amused manipulation and something else -- self-indulgence, or maybe self-importance. They are sometimes funny, unwittingly revealing and rarely nice. At the core, they're out of sync with underlying societal assumptions, women who are unselfconsciously and dominantly at the center of their worlds.
Blackwood, who died at 64 of cancer in New York in 1996, was at the center of many. Officially known as Lady Caroline, she was an heir to the Guinness fortune who grew from round-faced debutante to beautiful, wild bohemian. She married a broke and unknown painter, Lucian Freud, whom fortune smiled upon; composer Israel Citkowitz, whose fame remained modest; and lured poet Robert Lowell away from his wife into a marriage that proved toxic to them both. Lowell finally left Blackwood -- on that day, he was on his way to his New York apartment when he died of a heart attack; he was found in his taxi, clutching the Freud portrait of Blackwood that appears on the cover of this book.
"Never Breathe a Word" closes with Blackwood's earliest writing, seven journalism pieces, by turns light and agonizing. Writing about 1964 Beat culture in Venice Beach, she scornfully peppers the article, Zagat-like, with beat lingo. "Beatific talk is the very soul of brevity, if not wit. It is deliberately functional, for the hipster rejects euphemism. He 'sets a scene' when he tells, 'wigs' when he's worried, 'gigs' when he works, 'bugs' when he's annoyed, 'wails' when he functions, 'floats' when he's drunk, 'grazes' when he's content, 'bends' when he's tired, 'scenes' when he arrives, 'splits' when he goes." From witty distance, she moves in close: She writes, with stunted emotion, of the dehumanizing experience in a high-tech burn ward that was treating her young daughter. The title piece is a memoir: In it, she builds slow and horrible tension of her youthful experience with a malevolent horseman. Always seeded with cold wit, Blackwood's nonfiction reveals remarkable, ungentle insight.
But Blackwood left nonfiction behind for fiction. "You can't really get the truth about anybody from an interview," she demurred to the New York Times in 1995. "It's all fiction in a way."
She enacts this tension -- between the expectation of self-revelation and a subject's unwillingness to perform appropriately -- in the collection's opening story, "The Interview." Written almost completely in dialogue, a young male journalist brings a painter's widow to a bar. They've just been to a documentary screening of a film featuring her dead husband; at first the widow seems frail, vulnerable, about to spill more than she should over whiskey.
She drops salacious details -- her unfaithful husband was a lover "about as soft and green as asparagus!" -- and makes half-serious, predatory overtures, even as she shares serious ideas. "I fear that film can be a little too factual -- and its effects can be rather fatal. One should only ever be linked to the past through one's memory," she says. "Luckily memory is the most miserable, and unreliable, old muscle." Her candor is calculated, devised to both pull the interviewer close and push him away; as the story moves toward its conclusion, his voice literally disappears from the page.
There are a few male voices: a husband, oblivious to his wife's postpartum depression, feels victimized by their cheerful nanny and rationalizes his way to a tryst. A sensitive, handsome social worker, employed to connect abandoned children with their birth mothers, finds solace in one-night stands, and may well be leaving his own fatherless babies behind.
The women are not much more likable, but they are more intricately layered. A strict nun bends her rules for the wife of a dying man. Is she going soft? Is she feeling new generosity? Why does her small kindness feel like a sin? What desire does she not see?
Blackwood is a master of minutely examined choices that lead around, rather than into; her characters are prone to dissimulation and avoidance. A mother ravages her daughter's stocking on Christmas Eve because she can. The retired actress, recently dumped by a young lover, rediscovers her footing in a cold graveyard. Blackwood's characters are wicked and wise, cruel and funny and weak. They are liars. They are like many of us.
In moving to fiction, Blackwood found a way to rarely revealed truths. Her stories are essential for those who won't be frightened off by the futureless and the fierce.
