One of my favorite locations to photograph birds in northern Utah is Bear River National Wildlife Refuge. I've selected some of the birds there that delight and entertain me while I observe and photograph them.
There are several different species of Flycatcher that visit the Bear River Migratory Bird Refuge, among them the ones I see most often during the warmer months are the Eastern Kingbirds…
and Western Kingbirds. Both of them look rather dapper in my opinion.
There are also many shorebirds the pass through or nest on the refuge, Black-necked Stilts nest on the refuge…
as do American Avocets. Both of these shorebirds appear rather elegant in looks and movements.
Black-crowned Night Herons are common wading birds at the refuge and despite their name, they aren't strictly nocturnal. Black-crowned Night Herons are year round residents…
but Snowy Egrets are not, they migrate to the refuge. This Snowy Egret is showing the peachy-colored lores seen during the breeding season.
Barn Owls are year-round residents of the refuge and although they are primarily nocturnal they do fly during the day when the weather is bitter cold and there is heavy snow cover on the ground and they will fly later at dawn and earlier at dusk when they have chicks to feed. This one was flying during the day as the snow fell.
Swainson's Hawks are also migratory birds and they are seen on the refuge during the warmer months. Their diet consists primarily of insects like grasshoppers and there aren't many of those around during the cold months in Utah.
American White Pelicans also nest near the refuge and come into to feed on fish in the fresh water impoundments.
Yellow-headed Blackbirds, with their mechanical sounding call, can be found perching in cattails, reeds, phragmites and other vegetation as they forage for food. I was tickled to get this male in this pose.
The most common found grebes on the refuge are Pied-billed, Clark's and Western although Eared and Horned Grebes are also spotted there at different times of the year.
Tundra Swans by the thousands call the refuge home during the winter and can be seen flying overhead, swimming in open water or standing on ice. This adult shows a stained head and neck.
The sound of Marsh Wrens can be heard all over the refuge, they may be tiny but their voices aren't.
Cinnamon x Blue-winged Teal hybrid
All types of ducks can be found on the refuge during different seasons of the year. It pays to keep a look out for unusual ducks, you never know when a hybrid might be seen like this Cinnamon x Green-winged Teal.
Terns and gulls can also been seeing hunting over the water and nesting there as well. This Forester's Tern in breeding plumage was hunting for small fish.
This is just a small selection of the birds that can be found at Bear River National Wildlife Refuge, a location that I treasure.

McCarthy, Haynes, Money Make First Team
PRINCETON, N.J. – Ten members of the Yale football team were selected to the 2010 All-Ivy League squad announced today by the Ivy Group. The 10 Bulldogs cover 11 spots, including three on the first team, five second-team picks and three honorable mentions. Three of the players made the all-league team for a second time.
The trio of first-team selections was all seniors from the defense: DL Tom McCarthy (Chester, N.J.), LB Jordan Haynes (Folsom, Calif.) and DB Adam Money (Whiteland, Ind.).
McCarthy, the 2010 captain, led the team with four sacks and three forced fumbles while making more tackles (31) than any Eli lineman despite playing in just seven games due to injury. Haynes, the new Yale captain, had a team-high 102 tackles (third most in the Ivy) to go along with two sacks and a pair of interceptions. He scored Yale's first touchdown of 2010 by running back a fumble four yards against Georgetown. Money (37 tackles) led the Blue with three interceptions and seven pass break-ups. It was the second consecutive year McCarthy and Money earned All-Ivy honors.
All four of the second-teamers (all-league for the first time) came from the offense: senior TE Chris Blohm (San Francisco, Calif.), juniors QB Patrick Witt (Wylie, Texas) and RB Alex Thomas (Ansonia, Conn.) and sophomore WR/RS Chris Smith (Midlothian, Va.).
Blohm, who did not catch a pass in 2009, led the Eli ends with 26 receptions and two TDs. Witt, who led Ivy QBs with 212 completions, 351 attempts and a 246-yard average, had 12 TD passes. He was the only Ivy passer to complete better than 60 percent of his throws. Thomas, third among Ivy RBs with 79 yards per game, led Yale with nine scores. Smith, picked for both WR and return specialist, led the Ivies with a 27-yard KOR average while notching the only two (against Brown) kick returns for TD. Smith was fifth in the league with 46 catches.
Seniors DE Sean Williams (Portland, Ore.) and center Jake Koury (Dublin, Ohio) and junior CB Drew Baldwin (Alexandria, Va.) earned honorable mention honors. Williams, a 2009 All-Ivy honorable mention, had 28 tackles this fall and was second on the team with three sacks. Koury anchored an offensive line that produced 368 yards of total offense per game and averaged over 22 points. Baldwin, third among the Yale DBs with 25 tackles, had five pass break-ups.

Functional Movement: An Interview With Gray Cook (Part 2)
By Robert "Skip" George, DC, CCSP, CSCS
Part 1 of this article appeared in the April 2013 issue.
Gray, there seems to be a revolution right now in "physical medicine" toward a potpourri of treatment applications and practitioners, like personal trainers, who perhaps aren't diagnosing back pain, but are certainly treating back pain and other physical ailments. The Information Age is upon us and many different practitioners from many disciplines are treating these ailments. Can you speak to that? First, treatment without diagnosis is irresponsible, in my opinion. It's almost like going to a pharmacist and asking for a medication. That pharmacist does not have the clinical ability to diagnose you, but right behind them they can dispense a "potpourri" of things to make you feel different.
Now don't get me wrong; I truly appreciate, for example, what a massage therapist can do. I think they have skilled hands and can get in there and work the tissue like no one else. But you and I have been trained to find the driver of bad movement, to find the source of the pain. Sometimes rubbing on the sight of discomfort distracts you from making an appropriate diagnosis.
We have innovative, aggressive ways to treat soft tissue. Dry needling and ART (active release technique) are on the forefront of aggressively treating soft tissue so you don't have to go to a massage therapist for a year to get rid of unnecessary tightness, for instance, in the "traps." Just because someone may have had previous success getting people in shape, or whatever, does not mean the treatment justifies the lack of a diagnosis. I can give you morphine right now and you will feel significantly better, but it does not mean that I have diagnosed you – or that you have a lack of morphine in your system! (Author's note: Chiropractors have said the exact same thing since day one!)
If I had to dedicate myself to being an expert in diagnostic abilities or treatment abilities, and could only pick one, I would choose to be an expert in diagnostic abilities. This is because I would soon figure out and how to change the baseline. If all I had was treatment, then I would try to force every patient into my treatment zone. So, if you are good at diagnostics, one of the first things you will figure out is that you may not have the skill set to fix the person if front of you; but I am a phone call away from being able to network, and I have never found a patient yet or a referral source who didn't appreciate a well-diagnosed, well-managed referral. In fact, it usually comes back to me tenfold. I do think that diagnosis is a lost art, and movement screening and movement assessment are sort of my contributions to get us back to that critical thinking.
So, talk to me then about the use of the Functional Movement Screen with organizations, professional sports teams and some of the people with whom you have personally worked. I'm very honored that the FMS has made it into the special populations of the military, the NFL and many other professional sports. And I think there is a certain "dogma" that surrounds the movement screen. It is either the savior of everything or it is the worst thing that has ever happened! In truth, it is neither. It is simply a tool that did not previously exist in our toolbox.
Once you introduce a new tool, it doesn't mean you lose all of the other effective tools. It sits right beside the other tools. And I'm not saying that there aren't some tests we should probably delete [from our toolbox]. As a matter of fact, there are a lot of innovative orthopedic books out that say some of those tests we used to do are either unreliable or not valid. So, if we were to delete at least those – not based on my opinion, but current evidence – then we would have plenty of space to add a new tool or "app" to what we do.
It seems to me that is the revolution Craig Liebenson, DC, spoke about in a course he was teaching a few years ago, when he said that everything in rehab and the functional approach to patient care changes every five years. Could you talk about that and where you see all of this going – the FMS and all of the new approaches in health, fitness and movement? Well, the first thing I see is that as soon as the FMS gets a little more popular than it already is, you will see a lot of "movement screens" come out. You will see a lot of copycats. You see exercise videos, exercise equipment and protocols get copied. So, I would say we will see some new screens come out.
And I would at least throw down the sword out front and say listen, if you are going to beat the FMS, then beat it. But copying it ain't gonna beat it. I see people doing that; they take the movement screen and delete two tests, add one and then brand it as something else. I think that is closer to seeking popularity instead of really trying to change the baseline. I am absolutely sure that we will have a better way to screen movement one day. Until we had a GPS, we had to be good at using a compass. That GPS isn't available now [for movement screening], so until it is, let's use the compass and wear it out so as not to get lost!
Like I said, a lot of copycats are going to come around just because screening is popular. And what will happen is that the pendulum will swing. First of all, people will take the simple screening concept we have offered to the exercise profession and do exactly what you talked about in terms of getting into assessment and diagnosis. That is the pendulum swinging too far; taking irresponsible liberties with a skill set that is not designed to be clinical. Second, we could swing the other way and say we shouldn't do any screening at all, and that all we should be doing is counting "reps." I think that is irresponsible as well.
As time goes on and the FMS gets more popular, it also may polarize people, with some saying it is too invasive or not thorough enough. The movement screen is here to categorize people in terms of both function and dysfunction. And if we can at least agree that we shouldn't lump a bunch of fitness on top of dysfunction, then [the FMS] has done its job.
You have worked very well with other professions, especially the chiropractic profession. Despite our respective professions' competition with each other, you even have chiropractors as FMS instructors, correct? I think it is a breath of fresh air because the one thing I think about chiropractors, and I am going to speak specifically about the chiropractors who help us, is that they seem to be significantly more "fitness savvy" than physical therapists who work with us. Unless a PT has a previous athletic background or sports medicine background, they don't really feel comfortable in a fitness environment.
I think it is because PTs don't go into independent practice. They work under the umbrella of a hospital or large clinic; whereas chiropractors come out of school and realize, "I've got to be a community resource right away. I've got to distinguish myself right away. If I give all Pilates and yoga instructors a discount for care so I can educate them about the service I might provide to their clients, or if I work with the local triathlon club or personal trainers, and maybe even offer them continuing education twice a year, then I am going to become a resource in my community who appreciates fitness and wants to keep the active population moving."
It's a good business model. Active people are going to get hurt more by the simple fact that they do more. You can position yourself to be there and make that injury a temporary inconvenience, instead of a long-term issue requiring medication. The chiropractors we have [utilized] have not just been competent clinicians; they have become role models for how you manage a clinic and fitness side by side.
What value would the FMS bring to a chiropractic practice today? Here's just one example.I mentioned about being a community resource. Often the sports medicine specialist or the orthopedist shows up on sports physical day at the local high school and they are looking for medical contraindications to participation in sports. If the chiropractor teamed up with the school's athletic trainer and did movement screening, it would not interfere with the pre-participation physical conducted by the medical physician. The chiropractic physician, the PT and the athletic trainer could collaborate on the screen.
In your lectures, you talk about how we all have been told to "see your doctor before starting an exercise program." You follow this with how many people are told to "see your movement specialist before starting exercise" and who better than chiropractors and physical therapists to assess and be the "go-to" professionals for movement? I recently spoke at the International Federation of Orthopedic Manipulative Physical Therapists meeting in Quebec and said, isn't it ironic that dentists look into your mouth for prevention once or twice a year? They have demonstrated that they can avoid costly care with an ounce of prevention.
Wouldn't you like it if chiropractors could do a yearly musculoskeletal checkup? We [PTs] would love that, especially if insurance gave us about a hundred bucks to do it! I'd crank them out about every 20 minutes! And more importantly, I would uncover some stuff that I would go into clinic to treat.
Every dentist has a standardized, accepted checklist. Here is the disappointing thing: We [chiropractors, physical therapists] are a long ways from getting that wellness checkup because everyone does something different. We need to standardize that procedure.

At the art house this weekend, moviegoers preferred modern-day Philadelphia to 19th-century Russia.
The quirky dramedy "Silver Linings Playbook" and the period drama "Anna Karenina" both debuted in limited release this weekend, but the former film proved intriguing to a bigger audience. The film, which stars Bradley Cooper and Jennifer Lawrence, took in $458,430 from 16 theaters, according to an estimate from distributor the Weinstein Co.
The Joe Wright-directed "Anna Karenina," featuring Keira Knightley as Leo Tolstoy's classic literary heroine, collected $315,395 in the same number of theaters. That amounted to a respectable $19,712 per-location average, though "Silver Linings" garnered a stronger $28,652 per-cinema.
Financed by the Weinstein Co. for $21 million, "Silver Linings" stars Cooper as a man struggling with bipolar disorder who befriends an equally troubled young girl, played by Lawrence. The movie was supposed to expand to theaters nationwide over Thanksgiving, but last week the Weinstein Co. decided to put the movie in only 400 theaters on Nov. 21.
The studio said the last-minute switch-up was made in the hopes that strong word-of-mouth from early moviegoers will ultimately turn the film into a commercial hit. However, early industry research showed the movie was set to open with only a lackluster $10 million in wide release -- another reason the studio likely made the release change.
David Glasser, the independent studio's chief operating officer, said he was encouraged by the opening weekend's results and said he's optimistic the new release plan will work as hoped.
"This is right where we wanted to be -- we have a four-quadrant movie that women are bringing men to and they don't feel like they're being drug to it kicking and screaming," he said, noting that the film received an average grade of A-, according to market research firm CinemaScore.
"Anna Karenina," meanwhile, reteams Knightley and Wright for the third time after their work together on two other period dramas, "Pride & Prejudice" and "Atonement." The latest adaptation of Tolstoy's 1870s novel stars Knightley as an adulteress who is torn between leaving her faithful husband and child for her younger, more passionate lover.
The film appealed heavily to women this weekend, attracting a 70% female audience. Roughly 52% was younger than 35, and distributor Focus Features noted that 80% of those who saw the film said they had a college degree. The movie, which has received mixed reaction from critics, will be playing in 64 theaters by Thanksgiving.

The Huntington North High school girls' track team swept all five field events on the way to a 95-36 blitzing of visiting Marion on Tuesday, April 9.
Machaela Mertz won the 100 and 400-meter dashes as HNHS also captured five wins on the track.
Paige Coolman threw the discus 87-3 to lead the discus sweep, with Onna Doering second and Maddie Klender third.
Klender came back to win the shot put with a heave of 36-11, with Caitlyn Sands placing second and Doering third.
Jamie Feller captured the high jump at 4-8, the same height as teammate Alexis Wygant achieved for second, with Abby Ness third.
Lindsey Foster led the long jump sweep with a leap of 16-5-1/2, followed by Wygant in second and Emily Bucher in third.

New ARM Physical IP Delivers Optimized Performance and Energy-Efficiency for 28nm Applications, such as Mobile
Cambridge, UK – 23rd February 2012 – ARM today announced the availability of the ARM® Cortex™-A9 MPCore™ Processor Optimization Pack (POP) for GLOBALFOUNDRIES' 28nm-SLP High-K Metal Gate process technology. Optimized for mobile, networking and enterprise applications, the energy-efficient ARM POP 28nm-SLP for Cortex-A9 processors delivers a performance range from 1GHz to 1.6GHz for worst case conditions, with up to 2GHz in typical conditions. This provides a wide range of flexibility for System-on-Chip (SoC) designers to optimize performance and energy-efficiency using the ARM Artisan® Physical IP Platform and Cortex-A9 POP.
"As consumer demand for high-performance, energy-efficient mobile devices increases, GLOBALFOUNDRIES and ARM are lowering the risk for customers by delivering optimized Cortex-A9 cores on a proven 28nm SoC process," said Kevin Meyer, Vice President of Design Enablement Strategy and Alliances, GLOBALFOUNDRIES. "This latest ARM physical IP solution for our 28nm-SLP process delivers industry-leading performance and energy-efficiency, while also decreasing time to market for customers' latest mobile products."
GLOBALFOUNDRIES' 28nm Super Low Power (SLP) platform is designed for power-sensitive mobile and consumer applications, and is based on the company's production-proven 32/28nm HKMG technology. ARM already supports the GLOBALFOUNDRIES 28nm-SLP process with a comprehensive Artisan Physical IP Platform. This includes process tuned 9 track and 12 track multi-Vt standard cell libraries, power management kits, ECO kits, ARM Artisan high-density and high-performance optimized memory compilers, as well GPIO through the ARM DesignStart™ online IP access portal.
"Smartphones are increasingly becoming the devices that consumers rely on for a wide range of applications. To deliver the user experience that they would expect, OEMs and their semiconductor suppliers must deliver on the promise of high-performance and energy-efficiency," commented John Heinlein, vice president of marketing, physical IP division, ARM. "Single and dual-core Cortex-A9 processor-based mobile devices are already widely available and delivering on this demand. The new 28nm POP provides an easy next step to maintain a competitive edge."
ARM POPs include three critical elements necessary to achieve an optimized ARM core implementation. First, it contains Artisan Physical IP logic libraries and memory instances that are specifically tuned for a given ARM core and process technology. This Physical IP is developed through a tightly coupled collaboration with ARM Processor Division engineers in an iterative process to identify the optimal results. Second, it includes a comprehensive benchmarking report to document the exact conditions and results ARM achieved for the core implementation. Finally, it includes a POP Implementation Guide that details the methodology used to achieve the result, to enable the end customer to achieve the same implementation quickly and at low risk.

Until this year anyone in KZ who left the country (say for a holiday) and returned had to go and reregister within 30 days of arrival *and* provide a HIV test which had been done within the previous 3 months. Now people will still have to do a HIV test at the beginning of each visa, but that test will be valid for the duration of the visa. The requirement to reregister each time (and pay the 2700 tenge registration fee) is still there but it does mean less messing around going to health centres. More importantly it's another step in the stripping away of a lot of the bureaucratic stuff. Hopefully the requirement to reregister after each holiday may one day be scrapped as well.

Thanks for the heads up, nevertheless! Back to top jonniboyJoined: 18 Jun 2006Posts: 751Location: Panama City, Panama Posted: Fri Jan 18, 2013 7:33 pm Post subject: That's a bit unusual. Everyone I know has had to do a HIV test on arrival here and complete migration cards on arrival. If they get 1 stamp on the migration card (usually at a land border) they have 5 days to register. If at an airport, it's usually 2 stamps and therefore 30 days to register. Leaving and re-entering, if on a multiple entry visa, requires re-registration and therefore paying the fee. I guess in some cases people's employers will do that for them. Interpress don't, but the requirement to resubmit a clean HIV test, if it had been more than 90 days since the last one stood for every ex-pat I'd met. I guess it might have been different with different visas or it may just have been that the law, as in so many other areas in KZ, gets creatively and flexibly applied?

Yes, on arrival, I do have to complete a migration card & get the stamps (although I was told 2 stamps = 90 days, not 30) NEVER done an HIV test in the 1 1/2 I've been here, even when I got the visa the first time around in USA. NEVER paid a fee, short of the $200 USD to get the visa the first go-around and then a nominal to get it renewed an additional year. Again, thanks for the heads up!

Edifier has introduced an inexpensive, alien-esque speaker set that it calls the e1100 Predator. With the Christmas countdown about to wrap up, this might make a pretty snazzy gift for a tech fan looking to kick their music and games tunes up a notch. Let's dive right in and see if the specs check out and if it looks worthy of a spot under the tree.
The main unit acts as a sort of nerve center, housing the system's amplification and a 5-inch, down-firing subwoofer. The system's two satellites each sport a 2-inch full-range drivers paired with a 2-inch passive radiator. The sub can handle frequencies from 20Hz – 100Hz, while the satellites pick up everything from 200Hz – 20KHz. While the system is designed to handle the full audible frequency spectrum, we have to wonder about that big hole between 100Hz and 200Hz, especially since much of the punch we like to hear in music lives in that area. Still, sonic clarity shouldn't be much of an issue, since the speaker's 85dB signal-to-noise ratio is nothing to sneeze at.
Overall, at $80, this set looks like a pretty good buy for anyone in need of a high performance multimedia system. It may not blow your hair back or power your holiday party, but it should certainly perform well in smaller rooms or for near-field listening at a computer desk. One thing is certain, though: the system looks pretty slick.
It's easy to see why Edifier chose the Predator moniker, this thing is a dead ringer for the killer extraterrestrials, save their trademark dreadlocks.

Mattress guide
Some things to consider when choosing your Mattress
Don't compromise
A good Mattress can last up to 10 years or more, so it's a serious investment. But you should buy the best you can afford - remember for every £100 you spend on a Mattress represents just 27p a night over 10 years, it's a small price to pay really isnt it?. Our Mattresses are made exclusively to our specifications for us by leading UK manufacturers so they all offer exceptional quality and great value.
Talk to those who know their products well
If you are unsure about anything or just want some sensible advice we recommend you talk to one of our experts on our sales/support line 01285 719333. We will give you sound advice based on many years of experience.
Match the Mattress to the Base
Our Mattresses and Bases are designed to complement each other. The right Mattress and Base combination will promote the correct posture and provide support where you need it most. If you already have a Bedstead/Bed Frame in good condition you may only need a Mattress. However, if you have a Divan, a new Mattress alone won't always give you the full benefit. It's advisable to replace both. Divans act as Bases for Mattresses and either have Springs which allow the Mattress to adapt to the body's contours, or a solid top which provides firmer support. A Divan is often the best choice if you are tight for space in your bedroom, or prefer a more neutral look - they are usually higher from the ground than a Bedstead..
Different types of Mattress
One of the biggest causes of sleepless nights is fluctuations in body temperature, so we offer Mattresses with a warm wool side and a cool cotton side (eg: The Ultimate Ortho Mattress) to keep you comfortable all year round.
Mattress design and technology has never been more innovative. We offer a wide range at prices to suit a variety of budgets.
Open Coil Sprung Mattresses
The most commonly used springing system in the world.
Border rod or wire gives the Mattress a firm edge and helps retain its shape.
Sides are generally machine stitched.
Pocket spring Mattress
More luxurious, with individual small springs housed in separate fabric pockets.
Springs work independently to respond to individual body weight.
Ideal if there's a considerable weight or size variation between you and your partner.
Turn regularly to ensure even settlement.
Some have stitched sides for strong, stable edges.
Visco-Elastic/Memory Foam mattress
Body heat reacts with the Foam to soften it.
The Mattress then moulds and re-moulds to your body's contours.
Provides excellent support and enables natural movement during sleep.
Helps to maintain correct posture and align spine horizontally when lying on your side.
Hypo-allergenic with anti-microbial properties. Some people find these warmer to sleep on and recommend a lighter tog Duvet.
Occasional rotation is necessary to distribute the wear evenly.
Mattress Protectors
To get the best out of your chosen Mattress and maximise longevity, we recommend you buy one of our washable Mattress Protectors. These are also available in anti-allergy quilted in all sizes and water resistant styles for Singles.
Looking after your Mattress
After delivery the Mattress should be aired for 3-4 hours to freshen and remove any aroma from Storage. The Mattress should ideally be aired on a weekly basis by turning back the bedlinen for a few hours. A Mattress Protector or an under blanket below the sheet is highly recommended.
Avoid using any kind of plastic sheet on or under the Mattress as this prevents air circulation and can cause condensation and/or mould.
Sprung Mattresses:
With Sprung Mattresses it's important to turn your Mattress regularly to maximise its life. Body weight compresses a Mattress, leading to dips and ultimately an uneven sleeping surface. Consider a one-sided 'no-turn' Mattress if turning a heavy Mattress could be difficult.
Visco-Elastic/Memory Foam Mattresses:
These Mattresses do not need turning and in most cases only have one sleeping surface so cannot be turned, but the Mattress should still be rotated lengthways occasionally (once a month) to maximise their life. Over time these Mattresses may feel as if they are gradually getting softer, as cells within the foam open more fully and the surface reacts more quickly, this is perfectly normal. However the important pressure relieving properties remain the same and eventually the whole Mattress will react evenly.
Our Beds are available in all UK standard sizes. The floor space required by a Bedstead is normally greater than a Divan Base equivalent, but the Mattress size required remains the same. The Mattresses we sell are as below.
Mattress name, Mattress size
Small Single W75 x L190cm
Single W90 x L190cm
Small Double W120 x L190cm
Double W135 x L190cm
Kingsize W150 x L200cm
Superking size W180 x L200cm

Chinese food in Greater Boston
Do you crave egg rolls and pork fried rice? How about crab rangoon or lo mein? Check out our roundup of the best Chinese food around Boston (we've included many eateries that our readers told us are among their favorites as well as restaurants that our food writers have visited through the years).
55 Boylston St, Chestnut Hill
617- 738-3388
At this Chestnut Hill gem, try menu items like shrimp sautéed with roasted shallots, and fu chow fried rice.
Pictured: Dried Beef Chow Fun.
1712 Massachusetts Ave., Cambridge
See the menu
Changsho is the fourth Chinese restaurant run by the Chen family, who also own Lotus Blossom in Sudbury, Water Lily in Wayland, and Lotus Flower in Framingham. For those who can't get enough of Changsho's Chinese cuisine, they also offer a Sunday buffet brunch with more than 35 menu items, like sushi, dim sum, and dessert.
Chau Chow City
83 Essex St., Boston
See the menu
This Chinatown spot is a popular late-night hangout for hungry bargoers come closing time: While Boston's watering holes turn off the lights at 2 a.m., Chau Chow City serves until 4 a.m. on the weekend nights.
Pictured clockwise from bottom left: Yaron Kestenboum, Aharoni Israel, Thomas Keller, Susur Lee, Ken Oringer, and Michael Ginor.
Chilli Garden
41 Riverside Ave., Medford
See the menu
"At Chilli Garden, owner Zheng Hu imports hot bean sauce, chilis, pickles, wild mushrooms, peppercorns, and other spices directly from Sichuan province. Chef Hui Zeng smokes his own bacon and grinds chilis by hand,'' wrote Globe reviewer Cathie Desjardins in 2006.
CK Shanghai
15 Washington St. (Route 16), Wellesley
"Now that CK Sau, the dean of Chinese cooking in Boston, has moved to Wellesley, the tide has turned, culinarily speaking. Now one of the hubs of 'real' Chinese is in this western suburb,'' said Allison Arnett in her 2005 Globe review.
East Ocean City
25-29 Beach St., Boston
"With more waitstaff than customers milling about, we slurped down two gigantic steamed oysters swimming in ginger-scallion sauce, then tackled the fragrant pile of fried jumbo shrimp with spiced salt — biting through the crunchy shells and heads into the soft flesh inside,'' wrote Globe reviewers Amy Graves and Joe Yonan in 2003.
Gene's Chinese Flatbread Cafe
86 Bedford St, Boston
See the menu
Chef Gene Wu, known for his special hand-pulled noodles, has opened a second location in addition to his popular Chelmsford take-out restaurant . Wu hails from Xi'an, the capital of northwest China's Shaanxi province, where he learned to cook under the instruction of local chefs. Aside from the popular hand-pulled noodles, the restaurant offers flatbread sandwiches, lamb stew, and a variety of other noodle dishes.
Pictured: Hand-pulled noodles, available for dine-in or take-out.
Golden Temple
1651 Beacon St., Brookline
Globe correspondent Ike DeLorenzo was pleasantly surprised in his 2011 review of Golden Temple, writing that the General Gau's chicken was some of the best he's had in Boston.
Pictured: Spicy ginger clams
Gourmet Dumpling House
52 Beach St., Boston
For a classic winter meal, try Gourmet Dumpling House's mini steamed buns. Also known as xiao long bao or soup dumplings, the soup is contained inside the dumpling. Pick one up with your chopsticks, dip it in a sauce of vinegar and ginger, and place it on your spoon. Then take a careful bite, slurping out the piping hot broth.
Hong Kong
1238 Massachusetts Ave., Cambridge
It's nearly impossible to stop into this Harvard Square eatery without ordering one of their scrumptious, not to mention gigantic, scorpion bowls. Make sure to share with a friend, or three.
Joyful Garden
1234 Soldiers Field Road, Brighton
On the menu at this Brighton locale? Shrimp with lobster sauce, Peking duck, moo goo gai pan, and broccoli with oyster sauce, to name a few.
948 Broadway (Route 1 North), Saugus
Ike DeLorenzo visited Kowloon in June 2011: "Kowloon offers more than 400 items, grouped as Polynesian, Cantonese, Szechuan, Thai, sushi. That many dishes on a menu often doesn't bode well, but nothing at Kowloon follows usual rules. While not all dishes work, more than enough do. Sushi is very good, as are many of the authentic and well-prepared Thai specialties. Much of the Chinese food is classic 1960s Chinese-American – but tasty.''
Mary Chung Restaurant
464 Massachusetts Ave., Cambridge
Customer favorites at this longstanding restaurant include suan la chow show, dun dun noodles, and spicy fresh green beans.
Pictured: Yu xiang eggplant.
Mei Mei Street Kitchen
Mei Mei street kitchen is owned and operated by three siblings: Andy, Margaret, and Irene. The trio add an interesting twist to Chinese favorites, and their menu is constantly changing. The meat they serve is pasture-raised, humanely slaughtered, and sourced locally within 100 miles of Boston, and they offer plenty of vegetarian options as well. One often requested favorite is the "Double Awesome'' sandwich, comprised of two poached-and-fried eggs, a summer greens pesto, and extra sharp cheddar cheese inside a scallion pancake. You can view Mei Mei Street Kitchen's current menu here.
Pictured: Patrons line up for quick and creative Chinese food.
Mu Lan
228 Broadway, Cambridge
Mu Lan Taiwanese Restaurant owners Hong Tan and her brother, chef Shui Huang Han, make a different version of fried chicken. This version marinates in sugar, salt, and rice wine. Then the meat is dredged in sweet-potato flour, and cooked in the hot oil with fresh basil leaves.
Pictured: Salted crispy chicken.
Myers + Chang
1145 Washington St., Boston
"The music is loud and highly shuffled (Sam Cooke! The Police!), the waiters are interactive, and the food – Asian dishes, mostly Chinese, in smallish portions perfect for sharing – is high in flavor and low in price,'' wrote Globe food critic Devra First in 2007.
Pictured: "Mama Chang's'' pork dumplings.
P.F. Chang's China Bistro
800 Boylston St., Boston
Globe movie critic Wesley Morris counted P.F. Chang's as one of his favorite things back in 2008. He wrote, "Contrary to what you think, P.F. Chang's China Bistro is not the Applebee's of Chinese food. It's the Bertucci's of Chinese food: solid, inexpensive, generically faithful renditions of the real thing.''
For more locations, visit pfchangs.com
Teriyaki House
32 W. Broadway, Boston
1110 Boylston St., Boston
Sacha Pfeiffer wrote in her 2004 review, "In the old Southie, if you hankered for Asian take-out, you settled for greasy fried rice served in styrofoam. Teriyaki House has changed that, offering Chinese and Japanese food that's fresh, made to order, and loaded with crisp vegetables.''
Pictured: Jennifer Lai is co-owner (with her husband, Kenny Lai) of the Teriyaki House.
Tiki Island
269 Middlesex Ave., Medford
Dishes at this Chinese and Polynesian restaurant include crab rangoons, cashew chicken with Peking sauce, and the Hawaiian Wedding — slices of beef and chicken in batter sauteed with pineapple chunks and Chinese vegetables on a bed of noodles.
Wang's Fast Food
509 Broadway, Somerville
See the menu
Make sure to try the in-house made dumplings at this Somerville locale — the spinach ones in particular.
Pictured: Pork and chive dumplings are ready to be boiled.

|A Randomized, Double-blind, Controlled Phase IIb Study of the Safety and Efficacy of ICT-107 in Newly Diagnosed Patients With Glioblastoma Multiforme (GBM) Following Resection and Chemoradiation
|Brief Summary
|This is a phase 2, multicenter study to determine the safety and efficacy of ICT-107 in treating a type of brain tumor called Glioblastoma Multiforme (GBM). ICT-107 is an immunotherapy in which the patient's immune response will be stimulated to kill the tumor cells. Patients must be newly diagnosed with GBM and not yet received chemoradiation. Some of the patient's white blood cells (WBC) will be removed and cultured in a laboratory with purified antigens, similar to those on GBM cells. The patient's own WBC/DC that have been exposed to the tumor antigens will then be given back to the patient as a vaccine over several months. The goal is for the ICT-107 vaccine to stimulate the patient's immune response to kill the remaining GBM tumor cells after surgery and chemotherapy.
|Detailed Description
|The proposed phase 2 study is a randomized, double blind, controlled study of the safety and efficacy of ICT-107 in newly diagnosed patients with glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) following resection and chemoradiation. The phase 1 clinical trial demonstrated safety and promising efficacy in a small, open-label study. The purpose of this study is to provide information from a larger, controlled clinical trial. Patients must be newly diagnosed with GBM and not yet received chemoradiation. Patients will have had tumor resection, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and tumor assessment prior to enrollment into the study. Post surgical treatment consists of 6 weeks of chemotherapy (TMZ) and radiation followed by a washout period. After Screening and informed consent, patients will undergo apheresis at the study site for collection of peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs). Apheresis product will be sent to a central site where monocytes will be purified and cultured into dendritic cells (DC). DC will be pulsed with synthetic peptides that correspond to immunogenic epitopes of tumor antigens. The pulsed dendritic cells will then be aliquoted and frozen before shipping back to the site. Patients will have the autologous DCs reinfused intradermally. A control group will receive unpulsed autologous DC. Patients will be randomized by age in a 2:1 ratio to ICT-107 or control.Patients will receive at least four intradermal injections of the ICT-107 vaccine and additional vaccine during a maintenance phase. The primary objective is to compare overall survival (OS) and progression free survival (PFS) in patients when treated with ICT-107 versus Control.

Product Overview
Hoch Custom Bullet molds are among some of the finest mold blocks made today. It is a well-known fact that the base of the bullet is more important than the nose for accuracy. Hoch Nose Pour Bullet Molds were invented for this very reason; they allow bullet casters to cast bullets with a perfectly flat base, with the sprue on the nose of the bullet. Handles are sold separately.
- Allows casting a flat-base bullet
- Sprue is at the bullet nose
- Handles not included, must be purchased separately, product number 193-586
General instructions from the manufacturer:
- Please do not tighten the sprue plate pivot screw. Hoch's rigid sprue plate assembly is designed to give a uniform, clean sprue cut without leaving a huge sprue.
- Bullet molds require adequate lubrication: hinges may be lubricated with a small amount of paraffin wax and release agent should also be used.
- Loosen the hinge screw if the assembly begins to bind or resist - don't tighten the hinge screw to restrict free movement of the sprue plate assembly - the sprue plate assembly must swing freely.
- Molds are packed with a list of tips and instructions for best use.

A man was shot and seriously wounded during a robbery on the Far South Side as a motorist tried to thwart the hold-up by running into one of the robbers, police said.
The man, 24, was walking with another man, 22, when two robbers approached them at the intersection of 96th Street and Clyde Avenue around 2:30 p.m. Wednesday, according to a police report.
"Don't run or I'll just start shooting," one of the robbers said, according to the report. "Gimme what you got."
The robber took the 22-year-old man's white iPhone, but his companion fought back and was shot in the buttocks, the report said.
The 22-year-old started running north on Clyde, passing an acquaintance who got behind the wheel of her station wagon, jumped the curb and hit one of the robbers, the report said. She then jumped out and started beating him with her fists, police said.
When officers got to the scene, they saw the robbery victim lying in a pool of blood on a sidewalk and the station wagon parked on a front lawn, the report said.
The victim was taken Advocate Christ Medical Center in Oak Lawn in serious-to-critical condition, according to Chicago Fire Department spokesman Larry Langford.
No arrests were reported.

It was too cold for snow. Everyone was wrapped up tightly but not thinking of the weather. The rabbi, black hat and coat and graying beard, who had come in from another town, was at the centre of the group and very present, a focus for the camera team. But I sensed that maybe he was, and understandably, the most absent. A guest asked back too late by those who had rejected his predecessors. What might he be feeling, apart from the cold?
People of many faiths, and no doubt some whose doubts were stronger than their faith, stood around the Jewish cenotaph in the city of Kielce, Poland, surrounded by the Holy Cross Mountains. Bogdan Blalek, a publisher and activist in Jewish-Christian relations, a Catholic from Kielce born after the war, had sponsored the Kielce Menorah, placed slopingly in the sidewalk and only half-visible. Was it sinking into the ground or rising from it? It is not for the dead, Bogdan said, but for the living.
A YouTube video shows him sitting with two old Jewish ladies who were survivors of the holocaust. He has devoted much of his inner life bearing this mystery of iniquity, as his cross, and to repairing its interminable harm. The women describe their experience and, like old women anywhere, remember with wry humour the boys they had loved when they were young. 'Seventeen is not too young to love; he was so beautiful.. but later you have to consider whether it was worth it.' As they recall the herding of the Jews into the ghetto in 1941 - 27,000, of whom a remnant survived the killings both during the process and at Treblinka after - Bogdan covers his face in his hands and weeps. One old woman watches him and says, as if he were not there yet to him : 'he was born after the war but he feels it like we did.' The other says to him, with the pragmatic toughness of those who have undergone the whole spectrum of emotion, 'stop dealing with it, Bogdan. It will finish you off. Get away from it as far as possible.' He replies 'how can I?' She says, 'I know it's impossible.'
In 1939 a third of Kielce was Jewish. Apart from the death camps the Germans exterminated by lethal injection all doctors and patients in the Jewish hospitals. Many Polish Catholics hid and protected individual Jews. Many did not. When the Russians arrived in 1945 there were two Jews left in the town. A terrible legacy to live with; but Kielce was to know worse. About 200 Jews returned or came to Kielce to await emigration to Palestine. In July 1946 a young Christian boy went missing and the rumour spread – as it had in innumerable towns and villages for centuries – that he had been killed by the Jews who used his blood to make matzot. A lynch mob ran the streets and murdered 42 of the surviving Jews. The boy was found later in a nearby village. Kielce 1946 convinced Jews they had no future in Poland.
You would imagine this would make the memory of the holocaust even more difficult to get away from. But, perhaps because it makes it impossible to put all the guilt on the Germans, the greatest of all band-aid solutions, repression and denial, clicked in. My translator, a young educated Pole, had no idea of the 1946 pogrom.
It is left to Bogodan and a few like him to bear the memory without being crushed by it. For the living. The dead don't need to remember; if we pray for them it is more for ourselves than for them. We must remember what is always easier to forget in order to defy the shame of selective memory and the tragedy of amnesia. But the remembering must be purposeful not nostalgic. Lest it might happen again – and the continued desecration of Jewish cemeteries and anti-Semitic graffiti prove this European virus is not over yet – but also so that we can purify religion itself. Religion provided the categories and even the reasons for these inhumanities.
Buddhists, Jews, Muslims, Christians and other faiths prayed together after the menorah ceremony in a warm church hall. The guilt was shared and also the hope of a world where this would not happen again. The next day, putting it behind me as the old lady had advised, I was talking with a Benedictine abbot about the church in Poland: deeply divided, even with hints of anti-semitism in some Catholic quarters. We discussed the contemplative and theological development of the faith in Poland, so necessary since Consumerism replaced Communism. How important as Bogdan had told me to remember in the right way – not just the facts but because the heart, the seat of conscience and new life, has been unforgettably touched.

1. "American Idol" (2002 - present)
When "American Idol" premiered on FOX on June 11, 2002, no one knew it would become the phenomenon it did. A snarky British judge, a music industry insider (no one in the mainstream had heard of before) and a once super famous 80's pop star all came together to critique wanna-be singers and America got to vote for their favorites and ultimately choose the winner. It was a simple format, but the combination of Simon Cowell's snide and often times rude remarks ("that was absolutely dreadful!"), Paula Abdul's loopy antics, seeing bad singers make fools of themselves during the audition rounds and watching the contestant's journeys from regular kids to stars seemed to capture America's hearts. Based on the British program "Pop Idol," "American Idol" was the first show to come along that families could watch together. It stands as one of the highest rated television shows in history. While not every winner or past contestant has burned up the charts with their post-show musical offerings it did launch immensely successful careers for winners Kelly Clarkson, Carrie Underwood, Chris Daughtry, Clay Aiken, Adam Lambert and Jennifer Hudson. – Laura Saltman
2. "Survivor" (2000 – present)
Producer Mark Burnett took a Swedish show called "Expedition Robinson," turned it into an American sensation and changed television. When "Survivor" debuted May 31, 2000 on CBS, viewers were hooked by the series' mix of documentary and game show. It set the standards that all the reality shows follow today — audience voting, reading results in front of the all the contestants, immunity challenges, team rewards and the list goes on. The show also gave us the best bad guy on TV that year, Richard Hatch. He was the man Americans loved to hate and no one played the game better than he did. Richard wasn't there to make friends, he was there to win and win he did. 51 million people tuned in to the show's finale which features one of the most memorable moments in TV history — Sue Hawk's snake speech! — Dan Gomez
3. "The Sopranos" (1999 – 2007)
Americans have always been fascinated with the mafia so it was no surprise that audiences took to New Jersey mobster Tony Soprano (James Gandolfini) when the drama premiered on HBO January 10, 1999. Rather than glorifying the mob, the show managed to make Tony someone to both root for and hate, as he tried to balance his role as the head of a criminal organization and keep his family life intact. The show was a critical and commercial success and remains the most financially successful cable series in the history of television. Its dark material, mixed with intense storytelling and incredible acting performances, helped pave the way for numerous other cable dramas that came after it. — Laura Saltman
4. "Sex And The City" (1998 - 2004)
It may have started in the '90s, but how Carrie (Sarah Jessica Parker), Charlotte (Kristin Davis), Miranda (Cynthia Nixon) and Samantha (Kim Cattrall) dressed shaped the first half of this decade like no other show. Carrie single-handedly brought Manolo Blahniks out of high fashion and into the average woman's vernacular. The clothes, shoes and accessories (flowers ornaments and purses that could cost a paycheck) they wore have been copied over and over by everyday girls looking to stay on top of the trends Somehow the clothes became the fifth character on the show, all guided by the trend setting eye of costume designer Patricia Fields. Audiences clearly didn't get enough "Sex" when the show ended in 2004. They flocked en masse to the big screen when the show became a feature film in 2008. It's sure to have the same effect when the second film opens in May 2010. – Laura Saltman
5. "Lost" (2004 - 2010)
When "Lost" debuted in October 2004, television fans didn't understand what hit them. And apparently, neither did the shows creators or producers. Admittedly, executive producers J.J. Abrams, Carlton Cuse and Damon Lindelof, had no idea in what direction the show was going to head. It had been hastily cast as a concept show around a group of people being stranded on an island by a studio president who was soon thereafter fired. But when it debuted to huge ratings, the story began to take shape. Along with "Desperate Housewives," which premiered the same week, ABC had a one-two punch on their hands, which made them players again in primetime ("Grey's Anatomy" would follow the next spring). But the mythology that arose around Jack (Matthew Fox), Kate (Evangeline Lilly), Locke (Terry O'Quinn), Sawyer (Josh Holloway), and the rest of the talented cast, was soon to become the stuff of sci-fi legend. By the end of season one, the writers had set up the plot for the back-story of the island when they discovered the first Dharma Initiative hatch. And from the opening scene of season two, the show took on an increasingly different direction. Since then, the show has only gotten better, and it will smartly wrap up its sixth and final season this coming spring. And stakes of good vs. evil, control of our characters souls, and perhaps the future of the world, couldn't be higher! I'm getting goose bumps just typing this! – Jeremy Blacklow
6. "Family Guy" (1999 - present)
The story of the Griffins is a sordid tale full of twists, upsets, and a straight-out-of-a-film-esque return to popularity. Starting in the beginning of 1999, "Family Guy" wasn't considered a hit by FOX, who axed the show after two seasons. However, reruns on Cartoon Network's Adult Swim drove interest in the series skyward, which also translated to phenomenal DVD sales. Based on the cart loads of cash the first two seasons DVD box sets brought in, FOX greenlit a new season of "Family Guy" in 2004, marking the first revival of a television show based on DVD sales. Since then, "Family Guy" has been a pillar of FOX's Sunday Night animation line-up, which now includes a spin-off of "Family Guy" — "The Cleveland Show" starring Peter's neighbor Cleveland. — Alex Cook
7. "The Office" (2005 - present)
Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant's original British "Office" is one of the most critically lauded shows of all time, so when NBC announced plans to bring the show stateside in 2005 it was met with much trepidation. But thanks to a comically gifted ensemble cast and the will they/won't they, heart-tugging courtship between Jim and Pam, it quickly became a consistent place to turn for guaranteed laughs week after week. Rarely has an entire show's cast been so hilarious across the board, from the perfectly clueless Michael Scott (Steve Carell) to the brown-nosing, perpetually scheming Dwight Schrute (Rainn Wilson) all the way down to the inane (and slightly disturbing) one-liners of creepy Creed (Creed Bratton). "The Office" continues to find a way to turn the awkwardness and monotony of your average, soul-sucking 9 to 5 job into comedy. — Christopher Locke
8. Grey's Anatomy (2005 - present)
"ER" was the medical show of note in the '90s, but as it began to show its age and lose most of its original stars along came "Grey's Anatomy" with a fresh spin and distinct voice in narrator Meredith Grey (Ellen Pompeo), written by creator Shonda Rhimes. The show became an instant mega hit for ABC when it premiered mid-season as a replacement for "Boston Legal" in March of 2005, a rare feat for a mid-season show. Newcomers Katherine Heigl, T.R. Knight and Justin Chambers were thrust into the spotlight and Patrick Dempsey who had been an 80's teen-flick icon found his career taking on a second act. — Laura Saltman
9. "Desperate Housewives" (2004 - present)
Marc Cherry's dramedy about housewives was nothing less than revolutionary and debuted to rave reviews from critics when it came on the scene October 3, 2004. There was an instant and insatiable appetite for anything related to the show and its ladies — Teri Hatcher, Marcia Cross, Felicity Huffman and Nicolette Sheridan, who relished their "second life" on the small screen, and Eva Longoria, who was launched from obscurity into super-stardom. Cherry's move to jump the show five years into the future last season successfully refreshed the show, which continues to thrive now in its sixth season. It could also be called the show that changed everything for ABC, raising the network's viewership to highs it hadn't seen in years and paving the way for its other hit dramas "Grey's Anatomy" and "Lost." — Celeste Anthony
10. "Two and a Half Men" (2003 - present)
At the time of its premiere in September 2003, many people in the industry felt that the four-camera, studio audience sitcom was on its last legs. Single camera comedies like "Malcolm In The Middle" and "Arrested Development" were becoming the norm and favorites among critics and reality shows were taking over the network schedules. Along came the perfect one-two comedy punch of Charlie Sheen and Jon Cryer to prove everyone wrong. The show stood as an excellent pairing to an already successful "Everybody Loves Raymond." Ratings for the show were huge and the show still ranks today as the top comedy on television. While primetime shows many times are ruled by female viewers, the show did something other shows could not, it brought in male viewers that identified with the often times crass and chauvinistic nature of the show. — Laura Saltman
11. "24" (2001 - present)
When "24" premiered in November 2001, a new type of pulse pounding drama was born. The show, about a government agent named Jack Bauer (Kiefer Sutherland), was told in real time with each episode encompassing an hour of the action unfolding within CTU, the fictitious agency Bauer was working within. Plot twists and deceptions became par for the course as Bauer worked with rest of the CTU agents to help stop presidential assassinations or threats of nuclear warfare on American soil. The show's format of showing the action happening at four different locations via a quad screen graphic as the clock ticks down became a device used and copied all over TV and in movies. — Laura Saltman
12. "Arrested Development" (2003 – 2005)
Just when you thought the tired formulaic sitcom was dead, "Arrested Development" popped onto the TV screen in 2003 for three seasons and brought the funny back. The show follows the Bluth family who represent American greed at its worst with Michael Bluth (Jason Bateman at his sarcastic best) at its center trying desperately to get the selfish and manipulative family back on the right path. It's only fitting that a show so smart and ahead of its time was canceled after just three seasons due to low ratings. And it's also fitting that a filthy rich nation did not tune into a show that brilliantly satirized the corrupt culture that would soon turn into the worst national economic meltdown since the Great Depression. — Christopher Locke
13. "Six Feet Under" (2001 – 2005)
When "Six Feet Under" premiered in 2001, as the brainchild of "American Beauty" creators Alan Ball and Alan Poul, HBO was riding high. The show perfected the trifecta of HBO's dominance in cable (along with "The Sopranos" and "Sex and The City"), and offered a take on the family drama that had never been seen before. The story revolved around the dysfunctional Fishers, and used the unique gimmick of a death in the opening scene of each episode to lead as a metaphor for their family's problems. The show also launched the careers of a fine cadre of promising young actors, many of who went on to star in other great series, including Michael C. Hall ("Dexter"), Peter Krause ("Dirty Sexy Money," "Parenthood"), Rachel Griffiths, ("Brothers and Sisters"), Jeremy Sisto ("Law & Order"), Lauren Ambrose, Freddy Rodriguez and Justina Machado. The 2005 finale was one of the most emotional hours ever on television, as the show fast-forwarded through the span of all of the main characters' lives in 10 minutes, to the tune of Sia's haunting song, "Breathe Me." To date, no other hour of television has affected me so much emotionally. I cried for days when it ended. — Jeremy Blacklow
14. "Battlestar Galactica" (2004 – 2009)
In December of 2003, the then-dubbed SciFi Network ran a three-hour miniseries that re-imagined the science fiction hit of the '70s, "Battlestar Galactica." Amidst some surprising controversy, mainly due to the gender change Starbuck, the initial pilot posted record breaking ratings for the small cable network, making it an obvious choice to turn into a weekly series, which premiered in late 2004. Headed by Ronald Moore, who cut his teeth on "Star Trek: The Next Generation" and "Deep Space Nine," "Battlestar Galactica" was a gritty realistic view of what life in space might actually be like, while also dealing with subjects in a brutally honest manner. It was science fiction for the masses, not the niche audience that loved the original, and as such ranked at the top of people's favorites during its five-year run, which ended in March of 2009. — Alex Cook
15. "The Daily Show" (1999 – present)
When Jon Stewart took over hosting duties from Craig Kilborn in January of 1999, the fake newscast became the country's number one source for political humor. From politicians to media figures, no one is safe from the show's biting satire. For most young people, "The Daily Show" is their only source for news and a recent Time magazine poll named Jon Stewart America's most trusted newsman. Even though the show has a very liberal slant, conservatives love coming on the show and talking to Stewart because they know that he will always be fair. Stewart's interview style is casual but he also asks questions most of us would want to ask people in power. The show has also launched the careers of Steve Carell, Stephen Colbert, Ed Helms, Lewis Black and John Hodgeman. — Dan Gomez
Honorable Mention: "Freaks and Geeks" (2000)
Though the show was not a commercial success and lasted just one season in 2000, actors Seth Rogen, James Franco and Jason Segel are now household names, but arguably the more impressive roster sheet of the short-lived series is its directors and writers. Do a quick IMDB search of the following names: Paul Fieg, Jake Kasdan, Bryan Gordon, Ken Kwapis, Lesli Linka Glatter, Mike White, Jeff Judah, Bob Nickman, Gabe Sachs and Patty Lin. Without these talented writers and directors using the critical acclaim of "Freaks and Geeks" as a springboard to other projects, "The Office" might not have lasted in the US, Jack Black would be without "School of Rock" and "Nacho Libre;" and "Curb Your Enthusiasm," "Arrested Development," "Mad Men" and about a dozen other top shows would be missing key writers and directors. Then there's Judd Apatow. After directing three episodes of "Freaks and Geeks" and writing five, Apatow, using many of his "Freaks" co-workers, unleashed an onslaught on big screen comedy domination with such blockbuster hits as "The 40 Year Old Virgin," "Knocked Up," "Talladega Nights," "Superbad," "Forgetting Sarah Marshall" and "Pineapple Express." It can be argued that no show shaped comedy in the 2000s more than "Freaks and Geeks," though due to its premature cancellation, only by association. — David McMahon

Below is paragraph from WWII memoir that combines plot and characterization:
Aunt Ida commandeered the yard for a Victory Garden. She replaced many flowers with fruit and vegetable plants. Her landlord, who now slaved along with her, did not dare to be anything but his most productive in Idas employ.
Not that way, this way. Not like that like this, she barked orders as we dug, planted, watered and fed the miniature farm. Even the plants were scared into submission to Idas will. Each seed produced a bumper crop.
Initially the last sentence read:
Even the plants were scared into submission to Idas will and we had a bumper crop from each seed.
Such a good feeling when a muse sits on your shoulder and seems to say, "Not that way, this way. Not like that like this," instead of having to slave over every improvement.

Wife: Mandela is responding to treatment
JOHANNESBURG (AP) — Nelson Mandela remains in a South African hospital, where he is in critical but stable condition.
Mandela's wife, Graca Machel, said Friday that she is less anxious because the 94-year-old anti-apartheid leader and former South African president is responding to treatment.
Mandela was admitted June 8 to the hospital for a recurring lung infection.
People in South Africa and around the world have expressed concern for Mandela, sending messages of support for a man seen as a global symbol of reconciliation. Mandela turns 95 on July 18, when commemorations will be held in his honor.
Mandela spent 27 years in prison during white rule and was released in 1990. He led the shift from apartheid to democracy and became president in all-race elections in 1994.

I probably have a better idea than y'all on questions of one person doing an operating system. I wrote LoseThos with no GPL code. Schedulers, by the way, can be really trivial.
I did my own compiler. If he did a network stack, that's about equivalent. Are we talking a browser, as well? That begins to get dubious.
It wasn't just the networking stack.
There were red flags when he would quickly add features that.....what do you know, other posix monokernels had. These features were often claimed to written from scratch, like the USB stack:
For a lot of those features it doesn't even make sense to write them from scratch when you can use BSD code. But I suspected then as I do now that he wanted as much glory as possible so he used BSD code and lied about it being from scratch.
But check out this comment from Darkness in that thread who just recently posted that I don't know Robert:
There is a lot of crappy software out there where you have to pay more than 30$ to get a full version.
30$ is really no big deal, spend a good night out in a club and you could loose even more.
You are obviously not someone who would even be willing to donate to some project just because you like it or you want to support the developper(s).
and yes, he is the only one doing core developper. The payed beta program is one reason for him not to loose interest in it.

"Why do you have to use our money to buy all these things for school?" he asked.
This isn't just a recent phenomenon either. The last pair of picture books I've read with the primary classes as part of their library lessons (Goldie Socks and the Three Libearians and Bats at the Library) were books from my own personal collection that I bought with my own money. Why do I spend my own hard-earned cash on school items? It's not like I have oodles of extra money begging to be used.
I came up with a few reasons.
- I have control over things when I own them outright. I don't have to worry that the book I want to use for a particular lesson has been borrowed by a student when it's MY book.
- I don't have to worry about obtaining permission, begging for funds or providing a scripted budget proposal that may get shot down. When I had my Tamagotchi Club years ago, seven of the gadgets were mine - it was an experimental club that might have been denied funds if it relied on school money to start. School boards must be accountable for their purchases and certain expenses might be seen as a waste of taxpayer funds - it's easier just to buy it myself.
- If I believe in a project, I'm willing to put my money where my mouth is, even if it's my own money. Aviva Dunsiger, a grade 1-2 teacher, bought two iPads for her students to use in class because she was convinced that this would help her students learn, and she's had great success with these tools. Yes, this may mean that her students have more technology available to them than other classes, but it is important to Aviva and how she runs her class.
- I don't want to insist that students pay for things because they may not have the money at home to do it. The Ontario Ministry of Education recently came out with some guidelines on charging fees for required class elements and to sum it up quickly, schools can't expect kids to pay extra for things they need for their regular lessons to be successful.

If anyone might be able to point out what I might be doing wrong, but my circles are now cutting strangely. I have a self built laser using the 608 controller from Lightobject. Please take a look at the photo. Does anyone think it could be software related? Or is it possibly interference between stepper drivers/wiring or must be be mechanical slippage?
Secondly my last mirror is getting extremely hot within a couple of seconds! I've double and triple checked alignment and that's perfect. I even swapped out for a brand new mirror. I can't think of anything else!
Any and all help would really help!
