Bedroom Space
If there is a place in your home where you can be truly you, it's your bedroom. Although the room is not primarily for show, it does not mean that you do not have to beautify it. In fact, you owe it to yourself to create a sanctuary where you can be your real self, recharge and get ready for another day. This original wall art for bathroom have been carefully selected to suit your taste and budget.

Bedroom Wall Art
Even though most of your time spent in the bedroom will be spent asleep, that doesn't mean that you should settle for bland art. The scene set by your bedroom can impact the experience you have whenever you enter it. A calming and beautiful space can help you sleep better every night when you lay down your head.
The Bedroom Space
The bedroom is unique because it serves a fairly singular purpose. It needs to hold a bed that you can sleep in every night. Of course, people do plenty of other things in their bedrooms, but in the end, it all comes down to the bed. Everything needs to be centred on the bed and designed with that large piece of furniture in mind. Make sure you know how much space you'll have before buying large sculptures, you don't want to feel hemmed in. When shopping for art, you always need to keep space in mind, especially if you're buying online. Looking at images on a photo will not always give you a perfect idea of how big the piece of art you're looking at is.
Set a Mood
How do you want people to feel when they come into your room? Colours like red are romantic, while blue is soothing, and green reminds people of nature. There's also subject matter to consider. If you want your bedroom to feel like the centrepiece of a New York City loft, then a big picture of the city lit up at night would transport you to that scene every time you looked at it. Artwork can take the mind just about anywhere, so consider where you want to go whenever you walk into your bedroom.
Art Meets Furniture
Even if you have dramatic art on your walls the centrepiece of the bedroom will almost certainly be the bed. This means that you need to consider what your bed looks like when choosing art. Try and find art that matches or compliments the colours used in your bedding. You don't want art that clashes with your bed's look.
Follow Your Heart
Your bedroom should be your inner sanctum, a place where you can find peace even when the world around you is going crazy. As a unique individual only you know what sort of art is truly right for your bedroom. So try and block out the outside world and search for the art that calls out to you. What is it that you want to see every night before you go to sleep and every morning when you wake up?

Excuse me. Pardon me. Watch out.
That wasn't the sound of a Taylor Mays hit. It was me hitting the security guard in the head with the parabolic microphone dish as I tried to move up the sidelines and toward the end zone in the second quarter of Saturday's USC-Oregon State game at the Coliseum.
Sorry, man.
Hey, so how'd that sound back in the truck?
The pleasure I had in providing sounds for your college football experience … no need to thank me. Just read about it in today's newspaper column (linked here) and go on with your day, unaware of all of us who make things happen in your life…
Other stuff that crossed our sound check, but we passed on it for newspaper space purposes:
== One more thing about how a sporting event may sound on your TV set, based on the ears of audio mix specialist Dana Kirkpatrick, who was handling all the sound for the crew on our game last week:
After Kirkpatrick's crew matches the digital sounds to the pictures on the uplink to the satellite, it's usually on the downlink feed, after it filters through the local affiliates and then hits your TV set with or without its updated technology, where the sound can often get jumbled or unbalanced.
"We are very sure when we send it out, it's clean, because of our technical manager and studio crew in New York integrating it," said Kirkpatrick, who'll often work a 12-hour day on a college football game, starting with equipment checks and ending with feeding post-game interviews to ESPN's Bristol, Conn., studios for "SportsCenter" reports. "Some (TV receivers) haven't converted to stereo, believe it or not, so they'll only take the left side of our audio feed, so everything is out of mix."
== Most of the young people who ask Kirkpatrick for career advice have a much more broad sense of what an audio person may do, but they lack experience in many specfic tasks, he says.
"College kids, it seems to me, are trained to do a little of everything, so if I ask them about doing something, they'll say, 'I can't run it, but I know what that machine is,'" said Kirkpatrick.
"There's plenty of work out there (in sports audio production) if you're good at it. The TV business can be kind of weird in that it's hard to break in through the proper channels. It's usually a lot about who you know and word of mouth. That's the Catch 22.
"I always recommend to someone if they want to get into this side of the business, work at an NPR station. There you have to edit your own stories, learn about transmition — everything you'd do on a TV production. But if you listen to a show like 'This American Life,' you really hear all the editing that goes into it."
== Because ABC/ESPN decided last week to take the Cal-Arizona State game (at 12:30 p.m., Channel 7), and there was no FSN game of the week, UCLA's game at Oregon State on Saturday looked to be going without a TV carrier in L.A. until FSN West/Prime Ticket decided to make room for it, taking the FSN Northwest broadcast and airing it on delay (from the 1 p.m. kickoff to a 3:30 p.m. airtime). Tom Glasgow, James Washington and Steve Preece are on the call. FSN West isn't allowed to air a Pac-10 game live head-to-head with the ABC choice, so it has to wait for the 3:30 p.m. window to open.
== FSN West's first Laker game of the regular season (tonight, 7:30 p.m., vs. Dallas) starts with "Lakers Life" at 6:45 p.m. with Bill Macdonald and Norm Nixon. ESPN also has the game (not blacked out) with
Dan Shulman, Mark Jackson, Jeff Van Gundy and Ric Bucher as the pretend courtside reporter. And, if you're inspired, ESPN will have something called the "NBA on ESPN RV Tour" in Nokia Plaza from 4 to 7:30 p.m., letting fans come in and do nutty stuff like free throw contests, vertical jump challenges, souvenir photo stations, giveaways and whatever else they can fit into an RV. Or, you can do that the ESPN Zone restaurant and playyard right there on the corner.
== NBC has the 40th edition of the New York City Marathon on Sunday (live on Universal Sports and UniversalSports.com from 7 to 11 a.m., with Al Trautwig and Toni Reavis, and a two-hour highlight replay on Channel 4 from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m., hosted by Jimmy Roberts).
== DirecTV's NBA League Pass continues with a free trial offer through Tuesday on channels 751-768.
== Tom Kelly and Chris Rix will do the Crespi-Notre Dame football game tonight (7:30 p.m.) for Ibnsports.com and Vootage.com.
== Fox's coverage of the Minnesota-Green Bay game Sunday won't include a Favre Cam. At least, not the TV side. A camera put high on the 50-yard line will be isolated on Brett Favre's every move, from entering the field to leaving it with a pelting of snowballs, with a constant video stream available on both FoxSports.com and NFL.com.

Analog Analogies
We hit on the term "analog analogies" because one of my coworkers kept saying "analog" instead of "analogy" and I didn't think of the two terms as synonymous. I thought of "analog" as opposite "digital", but not for a second did I think "analogue" was synonymous with "analog" (it is). Hence the redundancy. So "analog analogies" became the phrase meaning "explaining a digital thing by analogy."
By way of for example[1] I'll be leading off my five minutes at the Q3 kickoff with one of my favorite analog analogies: the high and low laundry equilibriums. There are only two stable equalibriums in laundry: you can keep all your clothes clean and do laundry every time you have a basket of dirty, or you can have a full clothes hamper and only do a load when you need something to wear.
It is a not terrible analogy for technical debt. But the analogy falls down because even in a medium sized project you might have several different laundry equilibriums across different aspects: are we keeping a lid on our code bottlenecks? backend queries? can we rent/buy faster machines? And the worst part is you might not know which is lacking. I think the Germans have a word for how you know: messerschitz. You gotta do that too.
[1] I like to pretend to be all Dutchy on occasion.

Are you sure there is such a word? Google only knows about aircraft?
- July 12, 2011 at 7:15 AM
no the plane was a messerschmitt,
the mentioned word is not for the ears or eyes of foreigners so you will not find any written account of it

It was a half assed attempt at a homonym joke along the lines of "das blinkenlights".
If you want to know what to optimize you have to have metrics, and if you need metrics what do you have to do? MesserSchitz.

The pun caused a pilot in my office to tell a related apocryphal story. As the story has it an allied WWII pilot is recounting his war days to a group of school children...
Pilot: So as we got near the coast a Fokker appeared on my left and another Fokker appeared behind me.
Teacher: Students, you should know that a Fokker was the name of a German fighter plane.
Pilot: Sure, sure. So there's a fokker on my left and a fokker behind me and both the fokkers were flying Messerschmitts.

As an ex-EE, I feel compelled to clarify the connection between "analog" (as opposed to "digital") and "analogy". Way way back around the 1960s or so, the very active competition for the digital computer was the analog computer, usually an arrangement of op amps, integrators, potentiometers, and patch cords that looked like an old-fashioned telephone switchboard or an old-school Moog synthesizer (actually a very direct descendant). Check "analog computer" on wikipedia.
Analog computers got their start in weapons targeting computation (just as did digital computers) but became more general-purpose over time. The "analogy" piece is that physical quantities (altitude, speed, friction force etc) were directly analogous to voltages or currents at various points in the circuit, and the progress of the circuit over time mirrored the behavior of the physical system.

Regulatory Oxylipins
1 - 4 April 2019
Gent, BelgiumRegulatory Oxylipins https://vibconferences.be/event/regulatory-oxylipins https://tess.elixir-europe.org/events/regulatory-oxylipins-661da9dc-2159-4a34-8809-7851dfbe0b8a Oxylipins, from plants and other organisms, form a constantly growing group of signalling molecules that comprise oxygenated fatty acids and their metabolites. The most renowned regulatory oxylipins are undoubtedly the jasmonates, which, following their discovery in the 1960s, became recognized as regulators of defence, floral organ development and fertility, as growth inhibitors and modulators of senescence, and as elicitors of specialized metabolism in numerous plant species. As such, the jasmonates currently belong to an elite group of heavily investigated phytohormones. Over the last decade, the understanding of biosynthesis, metabolism, and action of regulatory oxylipins has greatly advanced. The ROXY2019 meeting wishes to bring together the international community and leading researchers in the field. Thereby it aims to provide a timely and exciting forum to present and discuss the recent advances and expertise on the study of these molecules that are so crucial for plant growth, development, metabolism, and interaction with the environment. There will be seven plenary sessions that, through combining lectures from invited speakers and short talks on selected abstracts and posters, will highlight the various aspects involved in Regulatory Oxylipin research. These sessions cover the following major themes: Regulatory oxylipins in emerging model systems and non-plant systems, Biochemistry and structural biology, Control of growth and defence, Control of Metabolism, Reproduction, Jasmonate signalling mechanisms and Long-distance signalling, Ecology. We look forward to your contributions to make this an exciting conference. See you in Gent!

The Brain Mosaic: Cellular heterogeneity in the CNS (2nd edition)
10 - 11 October 2019
Leuven, BelgiumThe Brain Mosaic: Cellular heterogeneity in the CNS (2nd edition) https://vibconferences.be/event/the-brain-mosaic-cellular-heterogeneity-in-the-cns-2nd-edition https://tess.elixir-europe.org/events/the-brain-mosaic-cellular-heterogeneity-in-the-cns-2nd-edition Recent advances in technology now allow us to explore multiple aspects of heterogeneity at the single cell level. Nowhere is this more important than in the Central Nervous System (CNS), where cellular heterogeneity has profound effects on all aspects of normal brain function and behavior and explains important aspects of disease pathology. With the second edition of the Brain Mosaic conference we aim to bring together leaders in this emerging discipline to discuss how it is advancing our knowledge of CNS function and disease. Speakers at this neuroscience meeting on 'single cell' will emphasize the multi-disciplinary nature of the field in several sessions: • Single cell sequencing and cell diversity • Spatial transcriptomics • New developments in technology and bioinformatics • CNS sequencing and relevance to disease research • Connections an activity Poster information: Format: A0 (841 x 1189 mm / 33.1 x 46.8 in), portrait orientation Deadlines: • Early Bird: 8 September 2019 • Late Registration: 26 September 2019 • Abstract deadline: 29 August 2019 2019-10-10 08:00:00 UTC 2019-10-11 18:00:00 UTC VIB Conferences KU Leuven - Promotion & Jubileumzaal, Naamsestraat 22, 22, Naamsestraat, Leuven, Belgium KU Leuven - Promotion & Jubileumzaal, Naamsestraat 22, 22, Naamsestraat Leuven Vlaams-Brabant Belgium 3000 Bioinformatics Transcriptomics Sequencing [] Evy Vierstraete +32 9 244 66 11 firstname.lastname@example.com [] [] meetings_and_conferences [] Single cell sequencing Sequencingcell diversitySpatial transcriptomicsTranscriptomicstranscriptomicsAlzheimers Clinical Trials And StudiesAlzheimers DiseaseAmnesiaAnimal Models In DementiaAnxiety Autoimmune Disorders & Multiple SclerosisBehavioral IssuesBiopsychiatry Blood-Brain BarrierBrain DiagnosisBrain Disease & FailureBrain InjuryBrain TumourCentral Nervous SystemCerebrovascular DiseaseChild NeurologyClinical NeurophysiologyCNS TumorsCognitive DisordersDementiaDementia CareDemyelinationDiagnosis And TherapyEpilepsyGenetics Genetics And Epigenetics Geriatric NeurologyGut- Brain AxisHeadacheIntervention NeuroradiologyMeningitisMental HealthMental Health NursingMetastatisMovement DisordersMultiple SclerosisMultiple Sclerosis DiagnosisNervous SystemNeural EngineeringNeural EnhancementNeuro-Oncology NeuroanaatomyNeuroanatomyNeurocritical CareNeurodegenerationNeurodegenerative DisorderNeurodegenerative DisordersNeurogeneticsNeuroimagingNeuroimmunologyNeurological DisordersNeurological Disorders And StrokeNeurological InfectionsNeurological SurgeryNeurologistNeurologyNeuromedicinesNeuromuscular MedicineNeuronal AutoantibodiesNeuropathyNeuropeptidesNeuropharmacologyNeuroscienceNeurosurgeryNeurotoxicologyNeurotoxinsNeurotransmissionNeurotransmittersParkinsonParkinsons DiseasePediatric NeurologyPharmacology Psychiatry Psychology PsychoneuroimmunologyRecent Research And Case StudiesRehabilitation TherapyStem Cell Treatment For Neurological DisordersStrokesTraumatic Brain InjuryCNS sequencing disease researchbioinformatics• New developments in technology

Thirteen people, including a 3-year-old boy, were shot on the South Side Thursday night.
According to the Chicago Police the shooting happened in the 1800 block of W 51st street in the Back of the Yards neighborhood and appears to be gang related.
Chicago Fire officials called an Emergency Medical Services Plan II, sending at least 10 ambulances to the scene and transported 10 people and the child to area hospitals.
One man drove himself to Little Company of Mary Hospital and was treated and released police said.
Police later said a total of 13 people were shot, the boy, two teens, and 10 adults, with the 3-year-old boy the most seriously wounded in critical condition.
The boy suffered a gunshot wound to the head and is at Mount Sinai Hospital.
Family members tell the Chicago Tribune the boy's name is Deonta' Howard.
Deonta'–pronounced Deontay–nicknamed Tay Man, has a dislike for haircuts, one cousin said.
"He didn't like haircuts because he has a big head," said Porsche Chester, a cousin of the boy's. "But he is extremely smart. He didn't have that (head) for nothing."
Chicago Police continue to investigate and nobody is in custody for the shooting.
Check back for updates.
- The 3-year-old boy, shot in the ear, in critical condition at Mount Sinai;
- A 17-year-old girl, shot in the foot, condition stabilized at Holy Cross Hospital;
- A 15-year-old boy shot in the arm, stabilized at Holy Cross;
- A man, 27, shot in the leg and wrist, serious condition at Mount Sinai;
- A man, 24, shot twice in the stomach, serious condition at Mount Sinia;
- A man, 21, shot in the leg, serious condition at Mount Sinai;
- A man, 41, shot in the buttocks, serious condition at John H. Stroger Jr. Hospital;
- A woman, 33, shot in the shoulder, condition stabilized at Northwestern Memorial Hospital;
- A man, 31, shot in the buttocks, condition stabilized at Northwestern;
- A woman, 23, shot in the foot, condition stabilized at St. Anthony Hospital;
- A man, 37, shot in the leg, in good condition at Stroger;
- A man, 25, shot in the knee, in good condition at Northwestern;
- And a man, 33, who drove himself to Little Company of Mary Hospital in Evergreen Park with a gunshot wound to the leg and who was treated and released.
Mayor Rahm Emanuel issued this statement on the shootings:
"Senseless and brazen acts of violence have no place in Chicago and betray all that we stand for. The perpetrators of this crime will be brought to justice and prosecuted to the full extent of the law. I encourage everyone in the community to step forward with any information and everyone in Chicago to continue their individual efforts to build stronger communities where violence has no place."

The reincarnation of Enclyclopaedia Britannica
Last week, Encyclopaedia Britannica, a venerable byword for knowledge in its myriad dimensions, announced it would cease publication in print. N Madhavan writes.india Updated: Jul 23, 2012 14:59 IST
Last week, Encyclopaedia Britannica, a venerable byword for knowledge in its myriad dimensions, announced it would cease publication in print. It was a sad, sentimental moment for some of us who have spent large portions of their childhood years in quiet libraries, being awed by the volumnious tomes with their burgundy-coloured bound hardcovers, and opening them to look up a topic like in a dictionary, and finding a treasure trove.
The first edition of the EB was completed in 1771. The last 2010 edition printed 4,000 copies, some of which are yet to sell. Henceforth, the Britannica will only be available online and as an app (application) that you can access on a tablet PC or smartphone.
I have pre-teen memories of learning from the EB on the rules of cricket and on the first two village matches played, and the way the game was invented. I should be sad for the parting of the romantic feel of the papers. But then, I also know how the soul lives on while the body says goodbye.
EB.com remains a venerable institution. The power of knowledge is the power to reinvent oneself. That is exactly what the old paper giant has done. Today, if you surf on to the EB website you will find sections that help you compare countries, go back to this day in history, study timelines and analyse world data – in a few seconds.
In other words, EB.com has not slept on its laurels but made itself relevant to a dynamic, connected world where knowledge is less about storage of information and more about the generation of relevant insights in that moment.
We have developed this horribly convenient idea of looking up the Wikipedia for information, not realising that a community-driven site has its limitations. There is nothing to beat structured information that is not only easily searchable but also sortable, and then in that, the authenticity of knowledge from expert sources. EB remains a benchmark in that, though it has not been without its controversies.
In a word of freely floating information and social media chatter, reliability and relevance are key benchmarks to help us make sense of an explosion of information. EB remains a key source for that.

Welcome to my blog and the place where I will post my photos and musings from my life as an ultrarunner. My nickname "Shining" was given to me by a group of very special students after I finished my first 100-miler, the Massanutten Mountain Trails 100. They were the inspiration that enabled me to finish this awesome race, and I try to live each day with a "shining" attitude!

Rivanna Ring, four years later
In 2005, a few friends and I organized a run around Charlottesville on the Rivanna Trail, the 21-mile urban trail that encircles our little town. Two days before the run, we were hit by significant rainstorms and flooding, forcing us to re-route the course at the 11th hour. Over 60 VHTRC and WVMTR friends joined us that day for a true urban trail running experience. Anstr Davidson took some great pics here.
Yesterday, a few VHTRC buddies and a lone WVMTR renegade joined me for the Rivanna Ring, 2009 version. Marc Griffin and Marlin Yoder, fellow ultrarunners who live over the the Shenandoah Valley, had asked about running the RR, so I set the date and let the usual suspects know about it. At 0700, a small group was waiting at Greenberry's to get started on the adventure. We had relatively dry trail with a few isolated icy patches, low river crossings, and perfect weather. Unlike 2005, when we had to run on roads to bypass the flooded areas, we were able to run the complete trail, railroad trestle crossing and all (I chose to bypass the RR trestle this year and opted to get my legs wet instead---a small price to pay to stay alive).
The Rivanna Trail is an amazing gem for Charlottesville runners. The folks at the Rivanna Trails Foundation sponsor trailwork days on the second Saturday of each month, and as a result of the hard work of volunteers over the years, the RT offers 21 miles of rolling singletrack trail through quiet pine forests and along creekbeds, a paved 3-mile section for a change of terrain, and is always within a mile of the center of the city. When we run the Rivanna Ring, we do it "self-supported": we bring our own water and aid and supplement at mile 5 at Hardee's and mile 10 at CVS. It is a tough run in that there are very few hills to climb---you are always running! But that's
the point, right?
Here are a few pics from the run:

Wooo-hooo...into the sun, running with friends, life is good...
Four hours later, all done, time for coffee and breakfast! View the rest of the pics from our adventure here.

Soph, today was exquisite at the farm.
Although yesterday on your run I bet you enjoyed the cooler temps.
Jack needs to come over and play with Finn.
What else is going on?

I'm jealous! I ran the Ring with Jeff and his buddy Greg last April, and it was a blast. It looks like it was a little colder for you guys -- it was 70 and sunny when we finished, and we were all overdressed.

You aren't kidding about the dangers of that railroad trestle. For anyone planning to do a circumnavigation of the Rivanna Trail (or any crossing of Moore's Creek at Woolen Mills), that is an ACTIVE RAILROAD. I was run down by a freight train this afternoon after thinking that the Rivanna Trail *must* cross there, since it dumps you out right there with no warning or signage.

The following press-release has been issued by SportAccord today:
Lausanne, 10 January 2012. As part of the ICANN proposed expansion of the new generic top-level domain space, SportAccord, on behalf of the global sport community is proud to announce its decision to apply for the .sport top-level domain with CORE Internet Council of Registrars ("CORE") serving as the primary provider.
Based on a mandate taken from its members (90 International Sports Federations and 15 sports organisations) and with the support from the IOC (International Olympic Committee), ASOIF (Association of Summer Olympic International Federations) and AIOWF (Association of International Olympic Winter Sports Federations), SportAccord has identified the best possible partner to provide the technical and administrative platform for the registry operation with the ultimate objective to protect the Sports values and the interests of the Sports Movement and sports stakeholders.
Thanks to the partnership with CORE, the .sport top-level domain will be operated in a manner consistent with the business of Sport, with a strong focus on protecting trademarks and the interests of sports stakeholders, via a community-based TLD.
Consistent with its role as the umbrella organization for Olympic and non-Olympic sports as well as organizers of sports events, SportAccord will be the Registry Operator of the .sport top-level domain, working in consultation with all community stakeholders.
SportAccord has already started the process of setting up a Governing body for .sport so as to achieve effective community-based policy development. The Governing Council will be composed of representatives of Sport governing authorities (International Federations and IOC representatives) and Sport community representatives for athletes, sponsors, amateurs, fans and youth.
As a consequence, the .sport top-level domain will truly be led by the Sports world and will be developed around the values, culture and principles of Sport.
As a community-based top-level domain, .sport will serve and remain accountable to the Sport Community. The Sport Community includes all practitioners of sport, from learners to world-class athletes, the organizers of sport as well as their supporters and viewers.
"We are extremely happy to appoint CORE to apply and operate the future .sport domain name" says Vincent Gaillard, Director General of SportAccord, "we were looking for a partner that fully understands and endorses the values, culture and principles of Sport, and we are convinced that with CORE, we have found exactly the right partner".
"It is a privilege to be able to contribute to a TLD led by the Sport Community." says Amadeu Abril i Abril, Chief Policy Adviser at CORE. "The purpose of the CORE Association has always been to create TLDs in the public trust. The community-based focus of the .sport TLD is the best way to maximize its value for the cause of Sport while avoiding negative externalities"
About CORE
CORE is a not-for-profit membership association of Internet domain name registrars and registries. Its purpose is to operate, on a cost-recovery basis, a shared registration system (SRS) for Internet domain names.
CORE operates a distributed infrastructure based on software developed and owned by CORE, operated by multiple, redundant technical teams. CORE owns and continuously develops a well-adapted technical and administrative platform, particularly suited for the community-based focus.
About SportAccord
SportAccord is the umbrella organisation for 105 international sports federations and organisations. Its mission is to support and to protect the common interests of the sports movement. Activities include the organisation of multi-sports games (SportAccord World Combat Games, World Beach Games, World Artistic Games, World Mind Games); doping-free sport; sports' social/environmental responsibility and sports' integrity; International Federations recognition processes; the online video portal The Sports Hub as well as several other strategic initiatives, all developed and implemented on behalf, and to the benefit, of SportAccord's members.

Lysacek doing double, triple jumps in practice
NEW YORK (AP) — Olympic figure skating champion Evan Lysacek says he's doing double and triple jumps in practice as he tries to come back from injury in time to defend his title in Sochi.
The American tore the labrum in his left hip in a fall on a quad in training Aug. 21, and he doesn't know if doctors will give him the go-ahead to again attempt quads — the prerequisite for a medal contender — soon enough.
Lysacek remains optimistic, preferring to focus on the memory of all the past injuries that failed to derail him.
"I've come back from every single one of them," Lysacek told The Associated Press on Monday. "I have faith that this is no different from those."
The first American man to take that title in 22 years, Lysacek hasn't competed since winning gold in Vancouver in 2010. First there was a two-year break, which included a runner-up finish on "Dancing with the Stars." Lysacek was going to return to skating last season; instead, he was sidelined by a torn abdominal muscle.
Lysacek needs to post a minimum technical score in an international competition within the next couple of months to be eligible for the Olympics, which start Feb. 7 — 100 days from Tuesday. But he can accomplish that without his full repertoire of jumps.
Lysacek must receive at least a 25 in the short program and 45 in the free skate in the technical portion of the score — a very manageable hurdle for a world-class skater. His technical scores in Vancouver were 48.30 and 84.57, respectively. Fellow American Ross Miner struggled badly at Skate Canada last weekend and still earned a 32.15 and 60.54.
Lysacek was initially concerned he would be limited to one option in finding an event to post a qualifying score. He was relieved to learn there are three or four possibilities starting in mid-November, and the choice may depend partly on which offers the most favorable travel schedule. Potential competitions could include Warsaw on Nov. 14-17; Dortmund, Germany, on Dec. 3-8; and Zagreb on Dec. 5-8.
The U.S. Figure Skating Championships, where the Olympic team will be selected, are Jan. 9-12 in Boston.
Lysacek has tried to rush back from injuries before, only to make things worse, and promises he has learned his lesson. Sitting next to him Monday at an event for sponsor Procter & Gamble, his mother, Tanya, agreed that her son now understands that.
"Every time you learn a little more and get a little smarter, and you know what your boundaries are," she said.
They were promoting a "Thank You, Mom" video that relives Evan's golden moment in Vancouver. He's chasing that feeling again.
Dick Button is the only man since World War II to win back-to-back Olympic figure skating gold medals, and most champions didn't even attempt to defend their titles.
Lysacek missed more than a month of training, but that's not his major concern.
"I'm not worried that I'm not in shape," he said. "It's just really going to be dependent on the rate at which I heal, and unfortunately that's out of my control. I wish I could control that."

Take your choice! Here's a nice little explanatory essay by state Representative (and Free Stater) Andrew Manuse, entitled "We're All Free Staters Now!":
Rep. Andrew J. Manuse, R-Derry
Rep. Manuse: We're all Free Staters Now!
As the election approaches on Tuesday, you'll hear many folks who love big government talk about their favorite bogeyman: The Free Stater.
You may recall SEIU President Diane Lacey called House Speaker William O'Brien a "Free Stater" on WMUR during his effort to pass a balanced budget that lowered the spending, taxes, fees and regulations that were stifling job creation. How dare she! Now, so many Republicans (and Democrats) running for office are "Free Staters," even gubernatorial candidate Ovide Lamontagne. Oh no! They're coming to give you your freedom, ha ha. They're going to let you keep your money, ha ha, hee hee, ho ho.
Folks, don't let this type of "name calling" scare you–not even today, because if you love limited government, individual liberty, personal responsibility and free markets, you're a Free Stater, too. That's right, folks. We're all Free Staters now!
Who wouldn't want to be a Free Stater, after all? And, what are the alternatives of those applying that label to Speaker O'Brien and many of the candidates running for a seat in our next Legislature? These are two very important questions to answer before considering whether the label should be taken as an insult or as a badge of honor.
But let's back up a bit and focus on New Hampshire, a state made up of Yankee Republicans, Blue Dog Democrats and Independents who have always been tight with their money, self reliant and carefree about what other people do with their own property, so long as there's a fence in between that clearly marks the boundaries. New Hampshire is a state without an income tax and general sales tax, and yet citizens here think people should pay their fair share toward our mutual protection based on the amount of land they have taken for themselves. We treasure our small businesses, our innovators and our adventurers, and we long to live deliberately, using our days to do the things we want to do, for better or for worse. What's better outside of heaven?
Now enter the Free Staters, a group of people born in more intrusive states who wanted to move to New Hampshire so we could live our lives the New Hampshire way. After all, New Hampshire was already a state that more closely reflected our political attitudes. Free Staters abandoned the politics of their former states when they came here with a promise to restore New Hampshire to the New Hampshire way. In other words, they left their former states to come home. We know that many New Hampshire residents came here from other states for the same reasons, even though they weren't officially part of the Free State Project. That's why it was just plain common sense for Free Staters to pick New Hampshire. That's why we'd like to welcome Bill O'Brien and others like him to join our ranks.
Unfortunately, a different group of out-of-staters now wants to make New Hampshire into the places they all left behind. You see, the politicos using "Free Stater" as a derogatory term are a group of people who simply don't like the New Hampshire way. Many of these folks, such as the Democratic Minority Leader and former Speaker Terri Norelli, who is from New Jersey, brought her New Jersey politics with her to the "Live Free or Die" state. As Speaker, Norelli passed many of the Nanny State laws that assume government knows better than you do, whether you're trying to start a business, get a job, raise and educate your children or take care of your own property. Consider Maggie Hassan, who brought her Massachusetts spending and taxing habits with her to the New Hampshire Senate. God forbid we let her do it to us again as governor.
Norelli and Hassan want to take more of your money and give it to their friends who work for the government, until they make more than the rest of us who work for ourselves and want to build our own future. Not only that, former Speaker Norelli and former Senate President Hassan want more people to work for the government, and they want these new officials to use their newly created positions to tell the rest of us how to live our lives. In these out-of-staters' New Hampshire, the government knows best and the rest of us simply need to fall into line.
Voters rightly rejected this snake oil in 2010, and they shouldn't want to take another taste. To this writer, the name callers' New Hampshire looks a lot more like New Jersey or Massachusetts, and a lot less like the traditional New Hampshire that has always been a bit of an island of common sense in a sea of big government waste and centralized control.
Free Staters believe in New Hampshire, because we believe in the New Hampshire way of trusting each individual to be an adult who can make his or her own decisions, and then make the best life possible with the consequences. We believe in New Hampshire, because we believe in helping our neighbors through private charity and acts of compassion of our own choosing. We believe in New Hampshire because we don't believe government is the answer to our problems, but rather a problem itself when it gets too big. We believe in New Hampshire because we know that "low taxes are the result of low spending." We believe in New Hampshire, because we believe limited government governs best, and that the people are perfectly capable of governing their own lives when they are afforded their natural liberties and personal responsibility to pursue their own idea of happiness.
I have to think that everyone, except those who personally benefit from government control, would agree with what I've written here. And that's why I will assert once more: "We are all Free Staters now!"

Most Philadelphia area rowers – if they're good enough – end their season in the Scholastic Rowing Association of America national regatta, held annually over Memorial Day weekend.
This year, half-a-dozen scullers from the Chestnut Hill Academy/Springside School crew took things one big step further, qualifying for and attending the U.S. Rowing Youth National Championships. Staged outside of Cincinnati, OH throughout most of its history, the regatta was moved this year to Melton Lake in Oak Ridge, TN.
Featuring six-boats-abreast racing over a still-water course measuring 2000 meters (the collegiate and international standard, and longer than the 1500 meters crews row at SRAA's and most high school races), the USR's are open not only to high school boats, but to age-equivalent club crews that have athletes from a number of different schools racing together in one vessel. In cases where crews compete at the USR's and one of the Henley regattas in the same year, its not unusual for them to be more successful in England than at the American gathering.
CHA's lightweight double, manned by juniors Drew Adubato and Carl Delacato, did well to win their opening heat at Melton Lake, advancing directly to the semifinals and bypassing the "repechage" stage, a sort of feed-in bracket for the semifinal round.
The semifinals pitted the Blue Devils against truly formidable opponents, and they finished fifth, which put them in the "B" final (which effectively decides places 7-12) on Sunday, June 12. Here they also battled for fifth place, but were edged out by less than half-a-second by Woodlands, a Texas club crew.
In a running battle with Girls Inter-Ac League rival Episcopal Academy throughout the 2011 season, Springside's senior quad won the gold medal at the Stotesbury Cup Regatta, but EA won the SRAA's a week later while the Lions took away the silver medal. Springside has seniors Verity Walsh and Taylor Apostolico filling the stroke and three seats, and ahead of them are juniors Jen Sager and Anna Valciukas in the two seat and the bow.
The Episcopal Churchwomen nipped the Springsiders once more at the USR's in Tennessee, although this time the Episcopal victory came in the "C" final (places 13-18) instead of the medal race.
"When we saw we'd end up racing one another again, we said that we might as well have stayed in Philadelphia and done it there," Walsh joked.
The 12 boats that finished ahead of these two were all from club crews with the exception of New Canaan (Conn.) High School, which placed fifth in the "B" final.
While rowers from the CHASS program attend the SRAA regatta every year, they appear less frequently at the U.S. Rowing extravaganza. For that reason, a trip to the latter event is an eye-opening experience for the Blue Devils and Lions.
"The competition was a lot different than we're used to," remarked Walsh, a Chestnut Hill resident and a National Merit Scholar who will attend Columbia University. "In January, Jen and I went to a U.S. National Team ID camp (where U.S. coaches observe prospects for the Junior National Team) in Tempe, Ariz. We saw a lot of girls who'd been on the national team and who were so far ahead of everyone else, and we saw all of those girls again in Tennessee, so we knew it was going to be a huge challenge."
CHA's Delacato agreed, "All the club teams that go there make it very competitive. They were very fast and also, their kids were huge."
He and his partner weren't particularly worried about moving up to the 2000-meter distance, knowing they'd have less weight to pull down the long course than most of their rivals.
"For Drew and I it was a little bit of an advantage because we were lighter than a lot of those guys," he explained. "We're used to making the limit for scholastic lightweights, which is 155 lbs., and down there the lightweights were allowed to be 160 lbs., which is what the club guys are used to."
Through the spring season the two athletes switched in and out of quads and doubles with other CHA scullers, and Adubato rowed a single on occasion. They were both in a JV quad that won the bronze medal at the Philadelphia City Championships at the beginning of May, and two weeks later they joined up in the light double (where they're known as "Team Badocato") and reached the finals of the Stotesbury Cup Regatta, finishing fifth.
They did not race at SRAA's, but they had already earned a spot in the Youth Nationals at U.S. Rowing's Mid-Atlantic qualifying regatta on May 14 and 15.
The Chestnut Hill double won its opening heat race by 0.65 seconds over Detroit Rowing Club, and thus moved straight into the semifinals. There, the competition grew much tougher, and with a fifth-place outcome, the Devils joined the field for the "B" final on Sunday.
New Canaan High School, a longtime sculling power from Connecticut, won that race in a time of 7:20.93, while second place went to CHA's own Inter-Ac League rival, Malvern Prep (7:21.35). Although Team Badocato was farther back on the course, they still staged a dramatic finish, getting squeezed out of fifth place by Woodlands, 7:32.20 to 7:32.57. In the "A" final in the same category, a duo from the Seattle Rowing Center took the gold medal in 7:04.99.
"It shows how selective the clubs can be, with that large pool of guys to choose from," observed Delacato.
In the girls' quads, Springside's times were slightly faster than Episcopal's in both the opening heats and the repechage round. Neither of the Philly area boats was able to reach the semifinals, though, and they'd make their final appearance in the "C" final on Sunday morning.
Knowing how good many of their competitors would be throughout the regatta, Walsh said, "We went into it with kind of an easygoing attitude.
"Our boat adjusted to the change in distance pretty well," she went on. "The only way to get through that extra 500 is to pretend that it's the middle of the race again. It you think of it as finishing your regular race and then rowing 500 meters more – that just won't work."
The "C" final turned out to be a real Philly affair, with Berwyn's Conestoga High School joining the fray and finishing up with the bronze medal. Springside led going into the final 500 meters, but with two rowers who could qualify for lightweight racing with more than a couple pounds to spare, the Lions just couldn't hold off the Episcopal sprint.
The Churchwomen won in 7:22.71, Springside took the silver medal in 7:27.01, and Conestoga copped the bronze in 7:30.57. A Connecticut quad, GMS Rowing, won the gold medal in the "A" final, crossing the line in 7:02.40.
Neither Springside's Apostolico (who'll attend Cornell University) nor Walsh had planned on continuing their rowing careers in college, but now Walsh said she might reconsider.
"It's only been a couple of days since our last race," she said, " and I already miss rowing."

Following last year's acclaimed, news-making STOP UKIP TOUR, the UK's hottest musical comedians Jonny & the Baptists once again bring their unique blend of songs, satire and silliness to the nation with a new 30-date tour in the five-week run-up to the UK General Election on 7 May 2015.
Leaving partisanship aside to tackle the big issues of our times, JONNY & THE BAPTISTS ROCK THE VOTE is their most ambitious show yet. And with politicians now officially ranked below estate agents in the public's trust, it's a desperate bid to find at least one good reason to vote.
After topping the iTunes UK Comedy Chart last year with hit single 'Farage', the Baptists now take on the whole political spectrum to engage, enrage and inspire. Offering £5 tickets for first time voters at all venues, the show opens at Oxford's Old Fire Station on 2nd April before travelling across the country and ending with an election night special on 7th May at London's Soho Theatre before a post-electoral aftermath finale on 8th May at Liverpool's Unity Theatre.
Familiar to fans of the UK circuit and Radio 4's The Now Show, Jonny & the Baptists have rapidly won acclaim for their unique blend of riotous rock'n'roll, satirical soul and anthemic absurdity. Independently, frontman Jonny Donahoe has also won fame for smash-hit one-man show Every Brilliant Thing at the Edinburgh Festival and Off-Broadway, while his Baptists partner Paddy Gervers has garnered a cult following as host of his acclaimed 'Podshambles' podcast.

(RNN) - The explosion at a Texas fertilizer plant happened almost 66 years to the date after the deadliest industrial accident in American history.
Only 240 miles away from West, TX, where the plant caught fire and blew up, a ship docked in Texas City and filled with ammonium nitrate fertilizer caught fire.
On April 17, 1947, as locals gathered around the docks to watch firemen fight the fire, the ship, dubbed the S.S. Grandcamp and loaded with the combustible cargo, blew up. The blast created a 15-foot tidal wave that flooded the area.
Area buildings were crushed. The blast registered on a seismograph in Denver, hundreds of miles away.
Another barge was blown out of the water by the explosion, landing 100 feet away on shore.
The explosion of the Grandcamp broke a third ship, the Highflyer, from its moorings. The Highflyer, also carrying fertilizer, eventually drifted close enough to the Grandcamp that it too ignited and eventually blew up.
In all, 581 people died.
In full-fledged war in the Pacific, the Navy expanded its munitions facilities to Port Chicago, 30 miles north of San Francisco.
Port Chicago became an around-the-clock facility where crews loaded ships with bullets, bombs and explosives.
Crews were often poorly trained and speed was a priority.
As crews were loading two ships, the S.S. Quinault Victory and the S.S. E. A. Bryan, with explosives and ammunition, rails cars with 400 tons of explosives were parked nearby.
Around 10:18 p.m., a series of explosions leveled the pier, killed 320 soldiers and injured 390. Two-thirds of the dead were black enlisted soldiers in the Navy.
Exactly what triggered the explosions is still unknown. The explosion led to the safer procedures being put in place for loading ammunition.
In one perfect storm of unsafe working conditions, negligent management, overcrowding and insufficient equipment by the local fire department, 146 people died in a span of 20 minutes.
The Triangle Shirtwaste Factory in New York produced tailored blouses and was by all accounts a sweatshop. Most of the employees were immigrants, many who were teenagers working in crowded spaces for 12 hours a day for little pay.
Exit doors were often locked to prevent workers from sneaking out on break. Other exits were often blocked by scrap fabric. The building only had two true fire escapes.
Ladders from the fire department were too short and hoses too weak to reach the upper floors. Fire nets ripped.
Some workers leaped to their deaths. Others burned inside a building that was branded as fireproof.
Hundreds of workers at the Pemberton Mill in Lawrence, MA were laboring away at their jobs when the factory around them suddenly crumbled and collapsed.
While exact totals aren't known, anywhere from 115 to 169 people died.
An article published in the London Times in 1860 read, "The fabric, it appears, was unsound; it was never of sufficient strength to support the weight designed for it, and it accordingly fell in."
Volunteers rushed to pull victims trapped beneath the pile of debris before a lantern broke and set fire to the rubble.
Many who survived the initial collapse died in the fire.
When a boiler exploded at the Grover Shoe Factory, it shot up through three floors, breaking through the roof of the factory. A New York Times article from 1905 says the boiler "smashed through a dwelling house fifty feet away and pierced another dwelling further on, demolishing it. Here its course was stopped."
Its structure compromised, the building began to collapse, floors crashing down on one another.
The boiler explosion caused a fire that took the lives of those pinned beneath the wreckage.
The explosion, collapse and fire killed 53 people.

One thing stupid was Farnese beating two of the Holy Iron Chain Knight with her sword in it's scabbard for 2min. I didn't get that.
Thought I'd start it. I don't know how to make it a poll though so feel free to modified or whatever.
I've added the poll. I had forgotten there was an episode airing. I'm having a harder time remembering it each week.
I've definitely warmed up to the show, now we're at 8 episodes. Still, 4 episodes left and it still feels incredible rushed with bizarre pacing.
I can't help but feel like there's a lot of stockholm syndrome going on around here.
I found a few reviews that I felt does a good job of pointing out EXACTLY why the 3D is so jarring in Berserk and not so much in other anime. Thought I would share.EDIT: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q6kVU8uNdichttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gzRkXtrj5uM
]Was it just me or was ep. 8´s sound engendering again broken an all levels?The last few eps. were more pleasant to listen to and the low amount of music throughout this show is just sad... This is someone´s job! .... i am getting the feeling that they are only using remixes or unused movie music. These were my original 2 cents.
When Nina and Casca are captured and Nina pushes Casca away, she falls on the side like a mannequin too.
Oh man, that took me right out of the scene. It looked like Casca just straight up died. It was so incredibly weird.

Can You Tell the Difference?

Ces, don't you know that by attempting to use the sexually charged word "freaking" in a family newspaper, you encourage the young people of today to engage in "freak dancing", which all reputable scientists believe inevitably leads to chlamydia and insanity?
I have to say that the copy editor in me approves of the commas around "like".

Besides that in the original, Ted isn't wearing pants?

The bright yellow wreaths are a nice touch. Much more cheerful and sunshiney than those boring old green wreaths you see pretty much everywhere. My compliments to the colorist.

You need to be more sensitive to the plight of the freaks out there, obviously.

I'm the mother flippin' hiphopapotamous.
Called a hippopotamus I'm not a hippopotamus, I'm a hiphopapotamus
Where did you get the preposterous hypothesis that I was a hippopotamus?
Did Steve tell you that?

In the original, Ted was actually all whacked up on goofballs. In the published version, his mirth is brought about by the knowledge that he stocked all of those items immediatetely after scratching his own ass, thereby effectively assing every customer in the store.

Good job ripping him a new one on the lack of commas. That was the first thing I noticed, too.
Be content, FM, on the relative lack of other meddling. Flippin' for freaking isn't a bad swap. Gary Larson got read the riot act on using "dork" because some bonehead editor thought it meant whale dong.

Missed UCSD's SoftWhere 2008 conference and curious what went on? Well, video of the public portion of the conference is now popping up on the SoftWhere 2008 page in QuickTime and YouTube. A lot of big names (like Ian Bogost, above) had some very interesting presentations on a variety of topics — even my Japanese historiography professor showed up and had a lot to say about history, time, and software. It was a pretty diverse group, and owing to the zippy format, you can get a good feel for a lot of the research and ideas without spending half an hour or more listening to one presentation. Confining academics to such a short period of time? Sheer brilliance.

WASHINGTON (AP) - The Supreme Court says lawyers may not obtain personal information from state driver license records to recruit clients for lawsuits.
The justices voted 5-4 Monday in favor of South Carolina residents who objected to solicitations from lawyers to join a lawsuit against car dealers. Justice Anthony Kennedy said in his majority opinions that a lawyer's solicitation of clients is prohibited by a federal privacy law intended to shield motor vehicle records.
The court left it to lower courts to determine whether letters sent by the lawyers were predominantly efforts to recruit clients.
Among the lawyers named in the Supreme Court appeal is Richard Harpootlian, former chairman of the South Carolina Democratic party.
