SAN ANTONIO — Here are a few of the many things we learned on the eve of the national semifinals.
Sister Jean is the event's biggest star (but she's not a mascot)
The biggest crowd of the first two days in San Antonio gathered Friday morning for Sister Jean Schmidt, Loyola-Chicago's team chaplain.
Sister Jean mesmerized journalists with her tales, insisting that she pulls for opponents although she pulls for the Ramblers "a little bit more."
But Sister Jean isn't the school's mascot. That honor goes to Lu Wolf. Who's behind that mask? It's unethical to tell, but we glean plenty from this story, which pinpoints the mascot's hometown as Kickapoo, Ill. Can't make this stuff up.
The transfer bug keeps biting, but coaches don't love it
Sure, three of the teams in the Final Four have transfers on their rosters, but that doesn't mean the coaches have to embrace the strategy — or the possibility of relaxed NCAA transfer rules in the future.
"Guy's averaging 18 (points per game), probably thinks he should be averaging 24. And the guy averaging two probably thinks he should be getting eight. And it's really hard to just regulate all that," Michigan coach John Beilein said.
Here's more on the story, including the approach being used by Loyola-Chicago coach Porter Moser.
Larry Brown is the story that keeps giving
On Thursday, we watched as Kansas coach Bill Self spoke lovingly of former boss Larry Brown.
On Friday, Brown upped the ante by showing up at practice, working as an unofficial ambassador of the program by talking with players and coaches through the session.
He added, however, that he was still splitting his allegiance.
"I've got a vested interest in Villanova and Kansas just because I love both of the coaches," Brown said. "Not that I don't love 'em all."
Here's more on that story, including a slideshow of Kansas' day.
Villanova's depth keeps it on top
Wondering how Villanova keeps finding its way back to a national stage?
Coach Jay Wright has done it with depth, and he has another solid class of youngsters filling in gaps.
An unheralded example is freshman Collin Gillespie, who epitomizes Villanova's defense-first, but be-ready-to-shoot mentality.

School of Creative Arts
There has never been a better time or place to be involved in the creative arts than right now in Tasmania. From a long history of indigenous and convict 'making' cultures to the welcome creative tumult emanating from MONA, our island continues to provide space and inspiration for those compelled to find another way.
The School of Creative Arts (formerly the Tasmanian College of the Arts [TCotA]) brings together the University of Tasmania's established creative arts programs in Art, Music and Theatre and Design. Theatre and Art feature at the Inveresk Cultural Precinct, Launceston, while Art and Music, take centre-stage in Hobart.

Our winner, Tina Quinn (pictured), was recognized for her impressive work encouraging environmental education in her local schools, as well as lobbying to remove a common waterway pollutant from automobile brake pads. Here, meet Tina and five more amazing women we selected as finalists for the Reader's Choice Award -- each one deserves a major salute!
Winner: Tina Quinn
Hometown: Palos Verdes Estates, California
Nominated by: Debby Stegura, a colleague
About the winner: Tina first started working on environmental issues in 1986, when she used her real estate broker's license to purchase land for hiking trails in the Santa Monica Mountains with the local land trust, Mountains Restoration Trust. In 1990, she cofounded a nonprofit organization called Sustainable Conservation, which believes that protecting the environment can also be good for business.
Today, Tina continues as an active board member at Sustainable Conservation, whose most recent accomplishment is having signed into law SB346, which phases out copper from being used to make vehicle brake pads. Copper is the largest human-generated source of contaminants in California's urban watershed runoff and harms salmon, shellfish, and other aquatic species. SB346 was called "the most important bill for the environment passed in the state of California in 2010."
As if Tina's statewide (and even national) impact were not enough, she uses her abundant energy, intelligence, and wit to educate her community about environmental and sustainability issues. As president of the local PTA council, representing 16 schools in the Palos Verdes Peninsula Unified School District, she challenged PTA presidents to "Do one thing differently -- something good for the environment at your school to change the way people think." This started a wave of change in the district with recycling, garden, and composting projects.
Three years later, thanks to Tina's efforts, each school has a Green Week in which all of the district's 12,000 students participate. In December 2010, Tina cofounded another nonprofit organization, Sustainable Palos Verdes Schools, to support the environmental activities in the school district. The idea is that by saving the planet we will save teachers' jobs -- and she couldn't be happier doing it for her three daughters, her husband, and her community.
Finalist: Sue Burns
Hometown: Lake Leelanau, Michigan
Nominated by: Lisa Brookfield, general manager, baabaazuzu, inc.
About the finalist: "Sue started baabaazuzu 17 years ago and has been making handmade, one-of-a-kind outerwear and accessories out of upcycled woolens ever since. The company saves a ton of textiles per month destined to be in the landfill, and turns them into beautiful wearable art. Over the years, Sue has incorporated smaller and smaller pieces in her designs to further reduce waste. She is also one of the larger area employers, providing jobs to 18 people in-house and contracting with other local manufacturers to provide another 20 jobs, including contracting with a service provider, Grand Traverse Industries, which gives work to people with special needs and disabilities."
Finalist: Joanne Campbell
Hometown: Croton-on-Hudson, New York
Nominated by: Brooke Thomas, her daughter
About the finalist: "My mother has been a whole-living and holistic health-care provider her whole life. In 1996, Before the trend of green living, she took her critical-care nursing skills and traded up to become a holistic nurse. She was the 96th person in the world to complete this training, and she put her learning into action immediately. She dreamed of an alternative healing space within a hospital that offered nutrition, exercise, and alternative care options. Fast-forward to today, and it is clear she has more than accomplished her goal: She has successfully implemented several health and wellness programs in the New York and New Jersey area. She is currently the director of the Wellness Club in Mohegan Lake, New York. She is a pioneer, leader, and inspiration in the field of alternative healing."
Hometown: St. Louis
Nominated by: Becky Homan, garden writer, retired garden editor at the St. Louis Post-Dispatch
About the finalist: "Mimo is a horticulturalist working hard in inner-city north St. Louis -- in what is otherwise a food desert -- teaching residents how to grow their own fruits, herbs, and vegetables. One of her current projects, as the horticulture educator at Lincoln University's Urban Impact Center of St. Louis, started out as an effort to find farmers to provide fresh produce to the year-old North City Grocery Co-Op. But she had a better idea: Take the two acres behind the store and turn it into farmland. Another of Mimo's projects is helping women prisoners at the city hall's medium-security institution build a series of terraced vegetable beds. Mimo's work took her last October to Torino, Italy, representing St. Louis at the Terra Madre conference launched by Slow Food International to give a voice and visibility to small-scale farmers."
Finalist: JoAnne Grabinski
Hometown: Meriden, Connecticut
Nominated by: Ginny Chirsky, president of the Quinnipiac River Watershed Association
About the finalist: "JoAnne is currently working on a Master of Arts in experiential health and healing; her culminating project is a butterfly and bee garden at the QRWA headquarters. The aim is to create a sanctuary for butterflies and bees, as they are nature's pollinators and key components of a healthy and sustainable food source. Recently, honeybees have experienced colony collapse disorder, where they leave the hive for no apparent reason -- the tremendous impact is no bees, no pollination, no food. The garden will lay the foundation for QRWA's Environmental Educational Center, a place where kids and adults can learn about nature and the strengthening of this fragile relationship. This is the start of something good -- for ourselves, our community, and our environment."
Finalist: Dorothy Hight
Hometown: Wasilla, Alaska
Nominated by: Mary Rydesky, CEO, Transition Management
About the finalist: "Dorothy has spent 35-plus years training native Alaskans from rural villages (mostly not reachable by roadway) to work as community health aides in 200-plus local clinics. In places where doctors and nurses do not live due to remoteness, these aides become the source of wellness advice, sickness treatment, and first response in times of crisis. This program is unique in the United States, and Dorothy is unique in her knowledge and dedication to this program. Moreover, she has influenced multiple generations to focus on blending traditional wisdom and modern health care."

Out of all the athletes on fall sports teams at area schools, the last one standing – and competing – was Sami Aziz, a distance running ace at Germantown Friends.
Last Saturday, the curtain came down on the senior's high school career as he performed on a grand stage, racing alongside elite runners from across the United States at the Nike Cross Country Nationals in Portland, Ore.
The Nike event is primarily a team competition, but following the Northeast Regional Championships a week earlier, Aziz eventually became one of five individual finishers from that race to earn an invitation to the marquee meet at Portland Meadows, a horse racing track where a five kilometer (3.1-mile) XC course was set up in the infield.
After coming in ninth at the regional race despite a fairly serious fall on a downhill section, Aziz placed 70th overall out of a total of 196 competitors at the Nationals, all of whom had advanced out of large regional meets in various parts of the country. Earlier this fall, Aziz earned the top individual honors at both the Friends Schools League Championships and at the Pa. Independent Schools meet.
In the Nike regional races, the top two teams automatically qualify for the championships in Oregon, and the top five individuals not affiliated with those teams also earn a trip to Portland. Due to his mishap during the race, Aziz was initially sixth on that list of individuals, but one of the top five could not attend the big dance, creating an opening for the Tigers senior to head out to the West Coast.
Parts of the Portland Meadows course look like some sort of steeplechase circuit, with hay bales laid down across the path to provide competitors with an obstacle to hurdle, as well as a section with a series of dirt moguls.
There was one pervading natural impediment, as well – mud caused by recent rains. The ground had been churned up beforehand by the participants in the girls national championship race, and the slippery, clingy earth produced relatively slow times for a field of this caliber.
The overall winner got to the Nike extravaganza the same way Aziz did; he advanced as an individual from a regional meet. The second unaffiliated finisher from the Midwest section, Ohioan Sam Wharton won at Nationals with a time of 17 minutes, 6.5 seconds. Germantown Friends' Aziz was placed fourth out of a quartet of runners who were all timed in 18:21.5. The last man on the course crossed the line at 23:09.7.
Shortly before the Northeast Regionals, the GFS team ran a practice race along with Henderson High School in West Chester and Cardinal O'Hara of the Philadelphia Catholic League. Both of those schools got to take their full teams out at last weekend's meet, O'Hara with an automatic qualification, and Henderson through an at-large bid.
The national team title went to California's Arcadia High School, while O'Hara finished fifth and Henderson placed 15th out of the 22 teams attending. The fastest individual runner from the Philadelphia area was Henderson junior Reiny Barchet, who clocked in at 17:44.5 and 21st overall.

Kentucky's youth finally got served.
Connecticut's old guard changed the story.
The Huskies' dynamic, veteran backcourt was too much for the Wildcats' precocious teens, grinding out a wire-to-wire 60-54 victory in Monday night's NCAA title game.
And in doing so, UConn is a champion for the fourth time in school history. With the win, Connecticut remained a perfect four-to-four in title games.

UConn seniors Shabazz Napier and Niels Giffey ended their careers as they began them -- atop the college basketball world. The Huskies raised the hardware for the second time in four years.
It was a remarkable turnaround for the program, which a year ago was banned from postseason play due to poor academics. They entered this tournament as an overlooked seven-seed. Six wins later, no one's overlooking them any more.
"I said in the beginning, 18 months ago, when we started this thing, 'The last is going to be the first," said UConn coach Kevin Ollie. "We was last, and now we're first. But we always did it together."
Napier was even more direct after the game: "This is what happens when you ban us."
Napier, the All-American who promised his mother he'd get his degree before leaving for the NBA, saw his loyalty rewarded.
On Monday, he was the second coming of Kemba Walker, pouring in a game-high 22 points on 8 of 16 shooting. He was the obvious choice for Most Outstanding Player.
Guard Ryan Boatright toughed out an ankle injury to pitch in 14. And forward Niels Giffey added 10.
"I've got a lot of heart," Boatright explained. "We gave up too much this year to give up on ankle sprain. This moment was too big."
It was arguably too big for Kentucky, which became the first team since the 1992 Michigan Wolverines to start five freshmen. And like the Fab Five, they fell just short of the title.
Dooming Kentucky (29-11): its struggles at the line. The Wildcats made just 13 of 24 free-throws on the night -- a haunting reprise of John Calipari's past.
When he was in the title game with Memphis in 2008, the Tigers similarly struggled, and those empty trips kept Kansas in the game -- which current Heat guard Mario Chalmers sent to overtime with a buzzer-beating three.
The Jawhawks ultimately prevailed in overtime. Calipari said he didn't have flashbacks to that game Monday night -- even if everyone else did.
"I've never coached a team this young," Calipari said. "Hope I don't ever again. I think all of these guys are coming back, so we should be good."
He then shot a look through the press room that let everyone knew he was kidding.
Forward James Young was a lot like his Wildcats team as a whole. He scored 20 points, but was inefficient in doing so, missing 8 of 13 shots. Julius Randle, likely headed to the NBA, scored 10 on 3 of 7 shooting.
Still, the game was played at a level worthy of the hype.
The supersized final had an elite guest list. Former presidents Bill Clinton and George W. Bush sat together in Jerry Jones' box. Darius Rucker sang the National Anthem.
UConn product and current Heat guard Ray Allen was in the building, too. In all, a championship-game record 79,238 filled AT&T Stadium to the brim.
From the start, Connecticut was the quicker, more aggressive team, and shot to a 30-15 lead two-thirds the way through the first half.
Kentucky, meanwhile, was out of sorts on offense and porous on defense. Needing a spark, Calipari switched to a 2-3 zone -- with immediate results.
UConn would score just five points the rest of the half. And Kentucky began finding its touch from deep, getting a pair of three-pointers from both Young and Andrew Harrison. The late flurry cut the deficit to 4 at the break.
Napier poured in 15 first-half points for the Huskies, scoring on 6 of 11 shots. Young had 10 for the Wildcats at the break.
Neither team could do much on offense out of the locker room, missing 16 of their first 19 combined shots. And so, things stayed tight until UConn got hot and stretched the lead to 9.
That's when Young saw enough, throwing down a thunderous, one-handed dunk on Amida Brimah that drew a foul.
Kentucky crept all the way back to within one, when the Connecticut seniors responded. First Napier buried a three, seemingly off one foot. Then Giffey drained another from the top of the key.
All that was left from then on was a couple of stops and a lot of celebrating.
"From the beginning, Coach Ollie told us we had a chance to be on the top if we worked hard," Napier said. "The key words were 'if we worked hard.' We wanted to be on top."

NelsonMck necesitaba un nuevo diseño de otro y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 35 diseños de 14 diseñadores freelance.
I am looking to create a sweet valentines day card with some inside jokes in it. Not much more to say for the moment :)
Just a girl, good friend
The vision here is an image of a guy and a girl - drawn out like it is done in crayons (or stick figures), it has to look like a kid drew it.
I see a guy and a girl standing infront of each other (guy on right side) and he's talking to or saying happy valetines day to her.
It's the expressions on their face and the things around them that display the inside jokes.
The 10 inside jokes to fit in are:
1. Child(ish) - that's why its in crayons or stick figures
2. Vampire (on the guy - cape and fangs)
3. Sleep - maybe the girl has a book in her hand and is sleeping standing
4. Princess - she can be wearing a tiara
5. Pink shoes and a pink clip - she should have bright pink shoes and a little pink clip in her pocket
6. Dreaming of yelling at the guy - she can have a dream bubble out that has her yelling at the same guy...
7. Slap - the girl should be slapping the guy in the main picture - haha
8. Hookah - the guy is smoking the hookah while kneeling on the ground?
9. A message in a banner - maybe top there is a banner hanging that has a message written across
10. Drama - maybe the entire image looks like it's on a play set
I KNOW this is weird and will need creativity! But I can explain all the inside jokes if it helps.
Really need this SOON - want to send it on Feb 14 (via email).
Thanks guys!

This paper will be published by IEEE for the 1st International Workshop on Assurance Cases for Software-Intensive Systems (ASSURE) in 2013.
The basis for assessing the validity of an assurance case is an active area of study. In this paper, we discuss how to assess confidence in a case by considering the doubts eliminated by the claims and evidence in a case. This is an application of eliminative induction and the notion of Baconian probability as put forward by L. Jonathan Cohen.

One of the landmarks of the silent film studios that once lined Glendale Boulevard in Echo Park was Mack Sennett's Cyclorama, a towering drum of spinning scenery that served as a backdrop for some of Sennett's films. The Cyclorama and most of the other signs of the century-old Edendale film community disappeared long ago. But neighborhood historian Rory Mitchell created a video above to show what it would be like if that Cyclorama was still spinning in place a few feet from Glendale Boulevard and Effie Street. In a post on HistoricEchoPark.org, Mitchell said:
The next time you're stuck in traffic on Glendale Blvd, try picturing Mack Sennett's Cyclorama in its original location just behind OJ Plumbing on the southwest corner of Glendale Blvd and Effie.

BUENOS AIRES (Reuters) - Former U.S. Open champion Juan Martin del Potro will undergo a second wrist operation in four years on Monday and miss the rest of the season, Argentine media reported.
Del Potro, who pulled out of the Miami tournament this week, will have surgery on his left wrist which he uses for his backhand, having had an operation on his right wrist in May 2010.
The big Argentine, who won the Sydney tournament in January before a disappointing Australian Open, has dropped down the ranking from world number four to eighth and last played at Dubai nearly a month ago.
The 25-year-old tried to overcome his problem with physiotherapy but has now decided to resort to American surgeon Richard Berger, the wrist specialist who operated on his right wrist in 2010, the daily La Nacion reported on Saturday.
"I have the experience of how the rehabilitation is, the time it takes," La Nacion quoted Del Potro as having said when he pulled out of Indian Wells two weeks ago and foresaw the possibility of surgery.
"This time, a good thing is I won't lose so much time seeking a diagnosis. In 2010, it took me two to three months to find the right diagnosis and the right doctor. This time, luckily, I know."
Del Potro, bronze medal winner at the London Olympic Games in 2012, had been looking forward to a season in which he would attempt to break into the top ranking places and fight for another grand slam title having won the U.S. Open in 2009 before his previous wrist problems.

text: I have a newly installed multiserver cluster setup with one master and two slave dns servers. (and a web, mail and database server) I attempted to load DNS with a zone import which was successful but with an unintended result. It did however initially sync the result of the import with the two slaves. All records ended up under the last zone of the import file instead of in a dozen different zones. Consequently I deleted the zone and the slaves appear to have deleted the records as well. I then re-imported a single zone and tested but neither of the slaves have updated. Under tools I attempted to resync dns with no success. (even though it says that the zone has been resynced) I've been using mysql from the command line for checking the dns_rr table for entries manually and find no records have been loaded on the slaves but are present on the master. I have somehow broken the mysql synchronisation. Any idea what I the remedy is?

The RX-A1030 has a variety of other connectivity options. There are multiple analog video and audio connections, as well as several optical and coaxial digital audio inputs and outputs. There is also a network RJ-45 Ethernet jack and a front panel USB port where you can connect your iPod, iPhone, iPad, USB thumb drive or other USB-equipped digital music player. The USB port will display your iPod, iPhone and iPad song titles in multiple languages on the front panel display as well. And, the RX-A1030 supports charging of your iPod, iPhone or iPad via USB - even when the receiver is off. When using the AV Controller app, you can easily operate various functions from your iPod, iPhone, iPad or Android mobile device. For added vibration and noise absorption, the receiver even features an Anti-Resonance Technology (A.R.T.) Wedge, which is a fifth foot in the center of the unit.
Yamaha equipped the RX-A1030 with two additional channels of audio and an extra subwoofer output. This 2.1-channel setup can be used for Zone 2 output of your audio signal into a second room, while still leaving the main unit 5.1-channel surround sound. The system also supports FLAC or WAV 192 kHz / 24-bit audio playback, as well as HDMI CEC for control and powering up of compatible TVs and Blu-ray disc players. The RX-A1030 features a compressed music enhancer as well, which improves the sound quality of MP3 files and other compressed music files. Plus, the receiver affords YPAO R.S.C. sound optimization for automatic speaker setup and DSP Effect Normalization. There are also multiple SCENE options. And, it even features an Eco-mode for energy conservation. The system works with Yamaha's optional Wi-Fi and Bluetooth wireless adapters as well.
Main FeaturesAnti-Resonance Technology Wedge The Anti-Resonance Technology (A.R.T.) Wedge is a fifth foot in the center of the unit. It dampens vibrations from the power transformer, power transistors and heat sinks, as well as vibrations that might be caused by the sound from the speakers. Aluminum Front Panel All of the AVENTAGE components feature the same clean design with an aluminum front panel and ultra-smooth volume/selector knobs. The aluminum front panel is used to effectively shield sensitive circuitry from external noise and electronic radiation generated by dimmer switches, fluorescent lighting, video monitors and other electronics. This ensures optimum sonic performance in the widest range of installation environments. Symmetrical Power Amplifier Layout The interior of the unit has been precisely planned, circuit-routed and built so that the left and right channels are physically and electrically isolated. This naturally maximizes channel separation, but also greatly improves signal to noise ratio and also helps to achieve a wide, open sound stage. Total Purity Concept The Total Purity Concept, which Yamaha has been cultivating for many years, encompasses high drive amp technology, high purity pre-amplification, anti-vibration technology and independent pure power supplies. All models have a fully discrete power amplifier that helps to minimize distortion. They also adopt independent pure power supplies, allowing dedicated power supplies for the analog and digital circuitry to prevent digital noise from affecting analog circuitry. The anti-vibration heat sinks suppress vibration from transistors and sound pressure. Independent power supplies for the DACs help eliminate noise. Sound Tuning Achieved with Precision Parts For this AVENTAGE model, Yamaha has found or developed the exact parts needed to achieve optimum performance. Plus, sound technicians go through a testing process to precisely "tune" the receiver's sound. ESS Technology Premier Audio DACs This model incorporates the 192 kHz / 24-bit ES9006 Premier Audio DACs from ESS Technology to achieve an exceptional signal-to-noise ratio and up to 120 dB of dynamic range for professional quality digital audio production. Extensive Audio Codec & Format Support This AV receiver is compatible with many audio formats including Dolby True HD and DTS-HD Master Audio. It is also compatible with FLAC/WAV 192 kHz playback, which means excellent sound quality playback when you're watching a Blu-ray Disc or any other type of high resolution audio/video source. Multi-Channel Format This model supports Dolby Digital Plus, Dolby TrueHD, Dolby Pro Logic II, Dolby Pro Logic IIx, DTS-HD Master Audio, DTS-HD High Resolution Audio, DTS Digital Surround, DTS Digital Surround 96/24 and DTS Neo:6. USB / Network Audio Formats This AV receiver supports multiple formats including: FLAC up to 192 kHz / 24-bit, WAV up to 192 kHz / 24-bit, MP3 up to 48 kHz / 320 kbps, MPEG-AAC up to 48 kHz / 320 kbps and WMA up to 48 kHz / 320 kbps. Ultra HD 4K Pass-Through & Upscaling This unit's HDMI input/output connectors support Ultra HD 4K video image pass-through. It can also perform Ultra HD 4K upscaling to boost a lower resolution image to super high-def resolution. This ensures compatibility with the latest super high resolution video formats. The receiver will upscale content to Full HD 1080p from analog and HDMI inputs as well. HDMI with 3D & Audio Return Channel HDMI with 3D means the receiver can handle 3D signal data via the HDMI terminals. The Audio Return Channel function enables data to be sent and received via the same HDMI cable, so you can hear the sound from the TV via a single HDMI cable, with no need for an extra optical cable. Video Processing with Edge Adaptive Deinterlacing In ordinary deinterlacing, pixels in areas of movement are interpolated by upper and lower ranges. This causes jagged edges in diagonal lines. Edge adaptive deinterlacing detects the direction of the line and interpolates the pixels optimally. Network Functions This AV receiver provides a variety of network functions that enable you to access more sources and also enhance operation. You can connect the receiver to a PC to enjoy Internet radio, Pandora and Rhapsody. You can also operate your system via WebBrowser Control. Plus, the AV Controller App (from iTunes App Store or Google Play) lets you control various functions from your iPod, iPhone, iPad or Android mobile device. AV Controller App You can use the free Yamaha AV Controller App with this receiver. The app is downloadable from the iTunes App Store or Google Play and it allows you to control the system's power on/off and volume. You can also use the app to select input and DSP modes, as well as operate other functions from an iPhone or Android mobile device. You can use the app in as many as 23 different languages and you can customize the app interface by hiding unused icons and renaming functions. A tablet version is also available. AirPlay Music Streaming This model supports AirPlay, which means it can accept wireless music streaming from an iPod, iPhone or iPad, as well as from iTunes on a Mac or PC. This makes it easy to enjoy music from your mobile devices or computer on your home theater system. You can view metadata such as song title, artist name and album art via the AV receiver's on-screen display (some models don't support album art display). MHL (Mobile High-Definition Link) Video & Audio Mirroring MHL provides an easy, direct connection between compatible mobile devices and this AV receiver. MHL supports playback of up to Full HD 1080p video and multi-channel audio from your MHL-enabled mobile device. The receiver also charges the connected phone. You can use the system's remote control to operate play, stop and other basic MHL functions. Front Panel USB Digital Connection for iPod, iPhone & iPad A USB port on the front panel allows convenient connection of an iPod/iPhone/iPad, which also charges when connected. Because the digital signal from the iPod/iPhone/iPad is transmitted directly to the AV receiver, there is no signal loss or interference, so you'll always enjoy the best possible sound quality from your iOS mobile device. In addition, you can use the receiver's remote control to operate the iPod/iPhone/iPad music playback functions. YPAO R.S.C. Sound Optimization with Multi-Point Measurement YPAO analyzes room acoustics and measures various speaker characteristics, then calibrates audio parameters to achieve optimum sound at any of eight listening positions. It employs Reflected Sound Control (R.S.C.) to correct early reflections for studio-quality sound. It also provides DSP Effect Normalization, which varies the CINEMA DSP parameters according to the reflected sounds. The YPAO microphone is included. SCENE PLUS Function The SCENE PLUS function simplifies operation by providing one touch power-on along with selection of the desired source and the appropriate DSP programs. SCENE PLUS offers a choice of 12 SCENE selections, four of which can be assigned to the second zone in a multi-zone system. SCENE PLUS can be selected from the front panel, remote control, GUI and even from the AV Controller App. Front Panel HDMI Input In addition to the multiple HDMI inputs on the rear panel, there is also one on the front panel. This gives you a convenient way to quickly plug in a digital camera or camcorder for high-quality digital picture and video viewing. HDMI CEC Multi-Device Operation Another benefit of HDMI is the availability of CEC functionality. When the unit is connected to a CEC compatible TV, it will turn on and off together with the TV and you can use the TV remote to control the volume. CEC also provides advanced functionality with other components. For example, you can use the receiver's remote to control player functions like skip and stop. All connected devices must be HDMI CEC compatible and some CEC compatible TVs/players may not work. Input Selection in HDMI Standby Through Mode When the AV receiver is in HDMI Standby Through mode, the input source (Blu-ray Disc player, game console, etc.) for viewing on the monitor can be changed via the remote control. There's no need to turn on the AV receiver in order to switch sources. Advanced Multi-Language GUI On-Screen Display Yamaha's graphical user interface has a high resolution display with clear, easy-to-use menus and it also includes a selectable status bar that shows input source, volume level, DSP mode and audio format. The GUI provides a choice of eight languages: English, French, German, Japanese, Russian, Spanish, Italian and Chinese. Plus, it can be displayed over both normal 2D and 3D pictures. Intelligent Amp Assign Intelligent Amp Assign automatically assigns amplifier channels to certain speakers, depending on what functions are selected. For example, when Zone 2 is off, all 7.2 channels will be used in the Main Zone. However, when Zone 2 is on, power to the two Surround Back channels and the second sub pre-out will be directed to the two speakers in Zone 2, and the Main Zone will receive 5.1 channels of power. Similarly, when CINEMA DSP 3D is on, the two Front Presence speakers will be powered and not the two surround back speakers. When CINEMA DSP 3D is off, this situation is reversed. Intelligent Amp Assign also means that there's no need to switch the speaker cables on the rear of the receiver. Connection for Optional YWA-10 Wi-Fi Adapter This AV receiver provides a DC Out connection for the optional YWA-10 Wi-Fi Adapter. This lets you stream music wirelessly via a router from network components such as a PC or NAS. The YWA-10 Wi-Fi adapter is sold separately. Connection for Optional YBA-11 Bluetooth Wireless Adapter This AV receiver provides a DC Out connection for the optional YBA-11 Bluetooth Wireless Adapter. You'll be able to stream music wirelessly from a Bluetooth wireless technology capable smartphone, tablet or PC, without a Wi-Fi environment. The YBA-11 Bluetooth Wireless Adapter is sold separately. HD Audio with CINEMA DSP 3D & Virtual Presence Speaker CINEMA DSP 3D provides a wide, high and dense sound field. HD audio format decoding lets you enjoy HD audio sources. The Virtual Presence Speaker format delivers three-dimensional sound without actual use of presence speakers. Subwoofer Trim Control for Improved Sound Imaging The Subwoofer Trim Control enhances the low frequencies by avoiding overlap with the front speaker output. This will result in a cleaner, more focused sound stage while providing a seamless frequency response. When subwoofer frequency overlap occurs in conventional systems, the overall sound is "pushed" toward the subwoofer. Subwoofer Trim Control takes care of this by separating the low subwoofer frequencies cleanly, thus stabilizing the front stage while providing a well-balanced, enhanced bass sound. Dialogue Lift & Dialogue Level Adjustment Dialogue Lift raises the sound of dialogue from the center speaker to a position in the center of the screen. Virtual Dialogue Lift achieves dialogue lift function even without the need for presence speakers. Dialogue Level Adjustment lets you control the volume of the vocal sound, so you hear movie dialogue and music vocals at the ideal level for clear listening. Virtual CINEMA DSP for 7.1 Channel Surround Sound The Virtual CINEMA DSP provides virtual 7.1 channel surround sound from only front speakers (2.1 channel), with no need for rear speakers. Using 24 kHz HRTF (Head-Related Transfer Function) technology, it creates a rear sound field that is spacious, natural and powerful. Compressed Music Enhancer When music is encoded into a digitally compressed format like MP3, the frequency response suffers. Yamaha's Compressed Music Enhancer employs sophisticated digital signal processing using exclusive algorithms to restore what was lost, so the music always sounds the way it should. Adaptive DRC (Dynamic Range Control) Adaptive DRC automatically adjusts the dynamic range of the sound according to the volume level. This ensures that you hear clear dialog and vocals, and all sound effects at comfortable levels. There is no need to adjust the volume level as you listen; everything from whispers to big explosions will be heard clearly and comfortably at the same volume setting. It also tones down loud TV commercials, and it is ideal for low-volume, late-night listening, when you do not want to disturb others. HDMI Zone Switching HDMI zone switching offers the ability to individually select and send HD video programs to two separate zones. Watch a Blu-ray Disc movie in the Main Zone while an HD cable TV broadcast plays in another room (Zone 2). ECO Mode for Reduced Power Consumption Yamaha's ECO mode reduces power consumption by about 20% when compared to power consumption when ECO mode is off. It can be set from the top of the GUI menu. Selectable Auto Power Down Auto Power Down lets you save energy by selecting to turn off the power after two, four, eight or 12 hours. Low Standby Power Consumption Yamaha makes its receivers eco-friendly with a low standby power consumption of 0.35W in IR Standby mode, 5W in HDMI Standby Through mode and 2.2W in Network Standby mode.
Technology FeaturesNetwork Yamaha AV receivers can act as control centers for your entire home entertainment network. Their network functions include support for FLAC 96/24 (high quality lossless format), compatibility with Windows 7, DLNA 1.5 (for finding and playing digital sources) and WebBrowser Control from a PC or PDA. DLNA Certified DLNA certification ensures a device has been tested and proven compatible with various CE, PC and mobile devices designed according to the DLNA Interoperability Guidelines. Products certified by DLNA will bear a logo that will give consumers peace of mind that the device they are purchasing has undergone rigorous testing and conforms to the Interoperability Guidelines. Pandora Pandora is free, personalized radio that plays music and comedy.

Create up to 100 stations and easily switch between favorites. Rhapsody Rhapsody provides a music collection complete with millions of songs, entire albums and artist hits spanning the decades. This is more than just Internet radio as well, since you have the power to play exactly the songs you want, wherever you are. Dolby TrueHD Dolby TrueHD is Dolby's next-generation lossless technology developed for high-definition disc-based media. Dolby TrueHD delivers sound that is bit-for-bit identical to the studio master, unlocking the true high-definition entertainment experience on next-generation discs. When coupled with high-definition video, Dolby TrueHD offers a home theater experience that lets you enjoy sound as clear as the high-definition picture. DTS-HD Master Audio DTS-HD Master Audio delivers sound quality that matches the clear and vivid images of high-definition video. Blu-ray Disc and HD-DVD deliver five times the video resolution of standard DVD and produce realistic, lifelike images. DTS-HD Master Audio also provides the highest quality multi-channel sound possible. Your movies will come alive with sound and music becomes as realistic as a live performance. HD Radio HD Radio, the only digital broadcast system in America approved by the FCC, offers you clear, CD-quality sound via existing AM/FM radio bands. In addition, it gives you program-associated data and the ability to tune to multiple programs at the same dial position. Over 2500 radio stations are upgrading to HD Radio broadcasting to reach 95% of America's population and more than 230 stations are already on air. Made for iPod / iPhone / iPad "Made for iPod / iPhone / iPad" means that an electronic accessory has been designed to connect specifically to iPod, iPhone, iPad and it has been certified by the developer to meet Apple performance standards. Zone 2 This unit allows you to configure a multi-zone audio system. The Zone 2 feature allows you to set this unit to reproduce separate input sources in the main zone and the second zone (Zone 2). You can control this unit from the second zone using the supplied remote control. SILENT CINEMA SILENT CINEMA makes it possible to hear large-scale surround sound through ordinary headphones. This is a variation of CINEMA DSP technology that Yamaha developed to let you listen in private to movies and other multi-channel sources for hours without listening fatigue. vTuner Internet Radio vTuner uses the Internet as a global antenna, allowing you to find and play the thousands of radio stations on the Internet. 3D Yamaha receivers displaying this icon support 3D HDMI pass-through from 3D-compatible Blu-ray Disc, game and broadcast devices to 3D-compatible HDTVs. 3D provides a more engaging audio and video consumer experience when using 3D-capable products and 3D media content.

If you don't think this is hands-down the sweetest story you've heard all week year, I'll ... never mind, you WILL think this is the sweetest story you've heard all ... ever. Even if it does start out borderline heartbreaking: See, 13-year-old Latrell Higgins was adopted two years ago by a family in Florida. That's not the heartbreaking part, of course. Because the adoption of an older foster child by a loving family is pure happiness. The sad part came later, one night during dinner when Latrell's mom, Kelli Higgins (a professional photographer), brought up an upcoming newborn photo shoot on her schedule. Latrell said, simply, that he wished he had photos of himself as a baby.
That gave Kelli's 12-year-old daughter an idea. An amazingly wonderful idea.
Why not "re-create" a newborn photo shoot for Latrell?
Why not, indeed? The resulting photos -- handsome young man Latrell in a variety of cute newborn poses -- are both adorable and hilarious. But most of all, they turned out to be incredibly powerful.
More from The Stir: Dad Whose Baby Was Adopted Without His Permission Deserves Custody (VIDEO)
After Kelli posted the photos on Facebook with the following caption, "Here's my sweet not so little newborn! His name is Latrell and weighs 112 lbs," the images went viral. In the best way possible:
"The one reaction that is really humbling and I'm really excited about is there have been a lot of parents that come to me telling me that they were thinking about adopting a baby, but after seeing those photos it's changed their minds and they want to adopt an older child," said Kelli.
(I told you this would be the sweetest story you've heard all ever.)
Not to mention inspiring. Kelli Higgins, you deserve an award. And a hug.
Would you consider adopting an older child?

(A note to readers: this blog posting repeats the first couple of paragraphs from our web page, but has a more extended discussion below. Thanks for reading!)
The Dead Archive receives donations every week, of every imaginable type: rare handbills and posters documenting the nooks and crannies of the Grateful Dead's history, evocative and thoughtful letters detailing the Deadhead experience, as well as art, T-shirts, interviews, and more. From an archival perspective, the sheer dazzling variety and richness of these gifts is both a confirmation and a celebration of the mission of the Archive to document the Grateful Dead experience, and the community it still defines to this day.
The Archive's commitment to curating these often unusual artifacts complements a broader, more conventional archival mandate: to collect and document the wider cultural arcs that infused and were in turn influenced by the Dead. That means ensuring that traditional archival voices and materials have a place as well, such as rare books and even author's manuscripts.
One recent gift is Santa Cruz area novelist Trent Eglin's "The Incredible Dog Act," a 313-page typescript of an unpublished novel set in the tumult of the sixties in Southern California and the Bay Area. Although not focused on the Dead, they play a supporting role throughout, from dances at the Fillmore to lyric quotes that demonstrate the author's deep understanding of the band, their oeuvre, and most importantly, the depth and complexity of their interconnections with the counterculture and the 1960s. Even the famed Skull and Roses poster serves as a critical background motif for one memorable scene.
Eglin's dialogue is crisp and realistic, and his characters feel authentic, but what most impresses is the way he weaves the intellectual and political currents of the times into a tapestry that lets him play with a broad palette, illuminating themes from Heidegger and Nietzsche with lyric quotes from the Dead and the Airplane. Nor is this forced: Eglin handles his material gracefully, treating the erudition animating his characters with seriousness as well as playfulness, never veering into heavy-handedness, the achilles' heel of stories with this much at stake. The seriousness is never far from the surface, however. When one character remonstrates with another, it begins lightly but dives deeply, quickly:
"You know," she said, "when you middleclass white guys get all radicalized, it's hard to tell which way you're going to break … you're just as likely to get hung up on astrology or Zen as you are to take up revolutionary politics … Aside from Marx, most western philosophy is just a weird attempt to convince you white folks that reality's all in your heads. So when you guys 'see the light'"—she traced the quotation marks in the air—"too many of you just radicalize the shit in your heads. You just rearrange your mental furniture and let Meher Baba or Gurdjieff move in, and nothing out there really changes."
That theme is one of several that plays out through the novel, and Dead scholars will be quick to pick up on how many of these prefigure and parallel issues in Dead studies as well:
"When you so-called radical white cats want to test how it feels to have a problematic body, a body that makes you essentially visible for the first time, you let your hair grow and get your ears pierced. You go around in Indian drag, all tie-dye and beads. But the difference is that when the shit does hit the fan, you can still duck in for a quick crew cut and go work for Dow."
For Dead scholars, Eglin's novel represents a fascinating example of how the Dead can successfully infuse a story whose focus lies elsewhere; they are a part of the world that Eglin evokes, and his skill in interweaving elements of their art with so many other touchstones—his soundtrack to the sixties includes 87 songs, by both major names and minor, but all evoking the spirit of the times—is an important reminder that the Dead were only one of many voices that defined that era. Eglin's deft handling of those broader interconnections neatly sidesteps the difficulties that other writers have encountered when addressing the Dead in a fictional context: too often, the phenomenon overwhelms the plot or characters, a complaint critics have often made of other novels that attempt to capture the Sixties in fiction. And while a shelf of novels attest to the appeal of the challenge, no critical consensus has identified the short list of successful titles.
Famed mythographer Joseph Campbell famously remarked that the Grateful Dead were the antidote to the atom bomb. One of Eglin's memorable asides offers a tantalizing recasting of that notion:
"Once science had decided—-ages ago-—that the atom was the basic building block of the universe, it was just a matter of time before the professors provided the generals with the first atomic bomb. Presumably, had science back then sided with Thales instead of Democritus and concluded that the world wasn't atoms but water, it would have been prudent to build an ark instead of a bomb-shelter."
Perhaps the Dead phenomenon was that ark, preserving the ideals and issues of the sixties for succeeding generations to discover and experience and finally debate. Gifts of materials like Eglin's fine typescript to the Archive allow it to serve as a way of grounding those debates, anchoring them in reality; for what is an archive if not an ark, preserving the means of perpetuating and understanding a precious, politicized, and still misunderstood past.
Postscript: we understand that Eglin is preparing his typescript for publication and we wish him the best of luck.

"I am a refugee from MINDBODY. I just spent the past two weeks trying to get that system going, only to find out once I had my info in that it's basically unusable from the client's point of view. It's hideous. I completely wasted my time. It may be a decent enterprise solution, but it's utterly useless for a sole proprietor like me. THANK YOU (yes, I'm shouting) for creating an awesome scheduling and payment system." -An Ex-Mindbody Customer
Schedule and accept payments, huzzah.
A scheduling tool that only schedules—and doesn't accept payment, or allow you to hold a credit card if there's a no-show—is only doing a half monkey job. (You know what word we really wanted to use here.)
Unless you're not planning on making any money from your business, we believe that accepting money seamlessly, beautifully, and modernly, like a real pro, anytime you need to, is a non-negotiable part of building a great business.

We charge honest, simple prices to honest, good-working people.
You can get a fully-functional, awesome scheduling tool, that you can even customise with your own colors and branding, for just $25/month. You can't beat it anywhere. You spend more on turnpike tolls. And pirogies. And donut holes. (Are we going to have to have a talk about your donut hole addiction?)

- The app walks you through everything like a real human would. Speaking of humans, we actually work here. Hello!

California Supreme Court Justice Joyce Kennard, the longest serving current justice, is retiring on April 5, giving Gov. Jerry Brown a chance to further shape the state's highest court.
The 72-year-old Kennard notified Brown on Tuesday afternoon of her intent to step down in two months, when she will hit 25 years on the job as an influential — and sometimes quirky — member of a Supreme Court who is well known for her independent streak, willingness to pen dissents and her lengthy grilling of lawyers during oral arguments in California's highest profile cases.
In an interview with this newspaper, Kennard said: "It is with a heavy heart I'm saying goodbye."
"April 5 will be 25 years," Kennard said. "That's a quarter of a century. That's a long, long time."
Former Gov. George Deukmejian, a conservative Republican, appointed Kennard to the Supreme Court in 1989, capping a swift rise through the judiciary, where she previously was a Los Angeles trial judge and an appeals court justice for a brief time before being elevated to the state's high court.
But Kennard never fit the mold of a conservative appointee, often breaking ranks with her colleagues, writing dozens of dissents in her long career, including in death penalty cases. Asked about her legacy, Kennard replied: "I'll leave it to others how they judge my tenure."
Former Chief Justice Ronald George, who spent many years on the court with Kennard, agreed with the assessment of legal scholars who've long described her as unpredictable and independent.
"She certainly did not have any specific agenda or particular dogma she adhered to," George said.
Kennard's unique personal history was influential, being a native of Indonesia whose parents were a mix of ancestry, including Dutch, which still heavily flavors her speech. She moved to the Netherlands as a teenager and lost part of her right leg to an infection, forcing her to walk with a prosthetic the rest of her life. Kennard's father died in a Japanese prison camp when she was just an infant, and she later lost her mother.
Kennard moved to the United States in 1961, settling in Southern California, where she put herself through school. She earned her law degree from USC.
"Any success I've had is because of America," she said. "It gave me a chance against all odds."
Kennard was famous for interjecting questions during oral arguments before the Supreme Court, often turning them into lengthy speeches before pointing her finger at a lawyer and demanding an answer. She was unpredictable in her rulings, and would come down on the more liberal side of social issues before the court.
Kennard was in the 4-3 majority that in 2008 struck down California's long-standing bans on gay marriage, a ruling that preceded voter approval of Proposition 8 — which restored the same-sex marriage ban until the U.S. Supreme Court invalidated it last year.
Among her other notable cases was a 2002 ruling in which she found against Nike, concluding that businesses could be held liable for public statements regarding labor practices as commercial business speech.
With Kennard's retirement, Brown has a chance to name his second justice to the seven-member court. The governor previously appointed Justice Goodwin Liu. In a statement, Brown praised Kennard, saying she "left a lasting mark on the court."

FOXBOROUGH, Mass. – Five different players scored goals as the New England Revolution rolled to a 5-0 win over the two-time defending MLS Cup champion LA Galaxy on Sunday afternoon at Gillette Stadium.
Saer Sene – making his first league start since tearing his ACL last August – scored his first goal of the season midway through the first half before Lee Nguyen doubled New England's lead after the break, but Diego Fagundez (87th minute), Chad Barrett (91st minute) and Kelyn Rowe (94th minute) piled it on late to provide the final score line.
Goalkeeper Bobby Shuttleworth made six saves and center back Jose Goncalves was immense once again to help the Revs keep their league-leading eighth clean sheet of the season. The victory was the Revolution's third straight in league play – all by shutout – and the five-goal win matched the largest margin of victory in club history.
The visitors were actually on top early and generated three quality chances in the opening 10 minutes. Gyasi Zardes blasted into the outside of the net from a promising position before Marcelo Sarvas and Juninho forced Shuttleworth to tip a pair of long-range drives over the crossbar.
But it was the home side which opened the scoring in the 33rd minute when Sene and Fagundez combined to open up the Galaxy's backline. Cutting in from the right wing, Sene played a clever one-two with Fagundez which sprang the Frenchman into the box, where he curled a perfectly placed shot off the inside of the far post and in.
Fagundez almost set up a second in the 44th minute when he teed up Juan Toja inside the box, but Toja's low drive was blocked and the Revs carried a one-goal lead into the break.
The lead was eventually extended to 2-0 in the 71st minute, however, when Nguyen notched his second goal of the season after a quickly-taken free kick. Cutting inside toward goal from the right wing, Nguyen's quick-release shot caught Galaxy goalkeeper Carlo Cudicini flat-footed and rolled inside the near post.
Fagundez – New England's leading scorer with five goals on the season – extended his goal-scoring streak to four games in the 87th minute when he combined with Rowe down the left side, slicing into the box and finishing past Cudicini from close range.
Cudicini was beaten again in the first minute of stoppage time when Barrett – playing against his former club – scored his first Revolution goal to make it 4-0. After taking a feed from Rowe across the top of the box, Barrett blasted home into the roof of the net to provide what seemed like the final dagger.
But there was time for one more in the fourth minute of stoppage time as Rowe added to his two assists with a goal of his own, curling home from distance to put an exclamation point on an emphatic victory.
The Revs will look to make it a clean sweep of their three-game homestand next weekend when they host D.C. United on Saturday, June 8.

IDW's Paul Cornell's Final Comic Shows Mysterious Incarnation Between 8 & 9
Paul Cornell's final upcoming Doctor Who comic book story The Girl Who Loved Doctor Who had a couple of teaser pages released. In them, there is a clear shot of Matt Smith's Doctor looking at a picture of all his faces in the TARDIS. Between 8 and 9? A silhouette. This further adds to the previous pages from the IDW range that help hint at the fact. You can see the pages below.
The Girl Who Loved Doctor Who will be out Christmas Week, just before Matt's final episode airs.

that is intriguing

Great artwork. Love that last panel especially.
- 23 August 2013 at 03:21
I know the IDW Star Trek is tied to the movies; is that true of these too or is IDW basing all this on the same speculation as the rest of us?
- 23 August 2013 at 03:49
I picked up this month's issue of Doctor Who while in the comic book shop this week, then put it back down after only the first two pages had anything to do with the flashback about Hurt's Doctor and the Time War. These teasers are nice, but I don't think IDW will give anything away, especially since their license is up soon. I mean all they did with Angel when they gave him to Dark Horse was erase everything they did with After the Fall. And yes, the Star Trek comics are interesting and pseudo-cannon, but they don't do anything bold with it.

Since the new logo ive not bought anything until today !
Im currently in Toronto and today got my first ever customized seahawks jersey. I got my surname and i was pondering between different numbers to go for but in the end i went for 12 as we are the 12th man and to rep the 12th man especially since alot of the design on the jersey involves the number 12 for the 12th man.
It is a game jersey (the cheapest one) The print is actually good its not a rubber texture compared to the reebok numbers its more flat ...hopefully it lasts long
I also got this sweet hoodie ... i call it the coach Caroll hoodie ..i feel like high fiving folk when wearing it !
What a day today GO SEAHAWKS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

2014-15 Season
CATCO is Kids
In early 2010, CATCO merged with Steven C. Anderson's children's theatre group, The Phoenix Theatre for Children, creating our current evolution entitled CATCO is Kids.
This allows us to bundle ourselves into a single brand. As we move forward, you will see us refer to our fine programs for young people as CATCO is Kids. It's still the same imaginative and captivating programming (formerly known as The Phoenix Theatre for Children), but it draws us all a little closer to help central Ohioans know who we are and how broad our reach of programming is.

Product Description
A single kookaburra, sitting on a branch with the first new green leaves of spring, graces this pure silver beauty!
The kookaburra is one of the iconic symbols of Australia, made all the more desirable by the Perth Mint's execution of this handsome bird in pure silver, artistically rendered in an unique, reverse proof finish! This year the design depicts a single kookaburra sitting on a tree branch, upon which the first leaves of spring are just appearing.
This beautiful coin is part of the highly collectible series of one ounce Pure Silver Kookaburras. The obverse design of this series, with the kookaburra, changes each year, further enhancing its collectibility. The reverse features a portrait of Queen Elizabeth II of the British Commonwealth, of which Australia is a member. The Pure Silver Kookaburra has a face value of one dollar and can be difficult to locate, much less in pristine condition, so we advise you to acquire one you need when you find it.

What's So Funny?
The kookaburra is probably the best known bird of Australia. There are actually four species of kookaburra found in Australia and New Guinea. All are members of the Kingfisher family. Far and away the most familiar is the Laughing Kookaburra (Dacelo novaeguineae).
Kookaburras are famous for their unmistakable call, which sounds uncannily like loud, echoing human laughter - good-natured, if rather hysterical, merriment in the case of the Laughing Kookaburra; and maniacal cackling in the case of the slightly smaller Blue-Winged Kookaburra (D. leachii). The word "kookaburra" is borrowed from an aboriginal word of the Wiradjura language, "guuguubarra", which is onomatopoeic of (replicates) the avian's call.

Kookaburras are carnivorous. They eat lizards, snakes, insects, mice and raw meat. The more socialized birds will accept handouts from humans and will take raw or cooked meat from open-air barbecues left unattended. Kookas are territorial, and often live with the partly grown chicks of the previous season.
The notoriety of the kookaburra's laugh, as well as its nervy antics, has been spread worldwide by the popular children's song "Kookaburra" by Marion Sinclair. Please see the end of this article for the complete lyrics to the song "Kookaburra".

A single kookaburra sits on a tree branch with the first leaves of spring just appearing. The legend 1 OZ 999 SILVER guarantees the weight and purity. The legend THE AUSTRALIAN KOOKABURRA and the date are also indicated.

Kookaburra sits in the old gum tree
Merry, merry king of the bush is he
Laugh kookaburra, laugh
Kookaburra, gay your life must be
Kookaburra sits in the old gum tree
Eating all the gumdrops that he can see
Stop, kookaburra, stop
Kookaburra, leave some there for me
Kookaburra sits in the old gum tree
Chasing all the monkeys he can see
Stop, kookaburra, stop
Kookaburra, that's not a monkey, that's me!

Jesse James lost his pinky while working with a saw at his custom bike shop.
And it's pretty gruesome.
"Doesn't look like this little dude's gonna make it, Nice know'n you little buddy," James posted on Twitter Tuesday, sharing a stomach-churning photo of the severed phalange.
"OOOpps, Bad day at the office. Headed 2 Surgery in a few #PayUpSucker," he later added with another graphic photo of the sliced digit.
James, 44, rose to fame with his West Coast Choppers brand and Texas-based custom motorcycle shop, which gained him more notoriety when it got its own reality TV show on the Discovery Channel in 2002 called "Monster Garage" and later had a stint on "The Apprentice." He also made headlines with a cheating scandal in 2010 that ultimately ended his marriage to Oscar winner Sandra Bullock.
But back to the catastrophe at hand, no pun intended.
The self-proclaimed "glorifed welder" continued to post updates of the monster injury while heading to surgery to handle the situation.
"I was working in the shop today and just like my glove got caught in one of the machines and took my finger off. I didn't even know it actually got cut off until I like got five steps away and I'm like, 'Oh man, I think my finger got cut off,'" he recounted for TMZ Live.
"So my wife [Alexis DeJoria] and I were on the floor looking around for the piece of finger so we could put it on ice and haul ... to the hospital," he added.
(Dry heaves, everybody. Dry heaves.)
But doctors told James that they wouldn't be able to reattach his little finger.
"They're going to take a skin graft of the chunk of finger and sew it back on. He asked them to sew his finger print back on just for fun," he said, saying he refused to take pain killers including morphine. "It's not that bad dude."
By Wednesday, James was back at work, posting a photo of the finger in a black bandage while handling a torch in the shop.
My World has No time for Whiners or Crybabies #jessejames #15hoursOutOfSurgery #Back2Work #westcoastchoppers #CFL," he wrote.
But 15 hours of surgery? At least that's gotta hurt...
