This week's Tuesday night TV has the usual conflicting Dancing with the Stars and American Idol episodes at 8/7c, but also features the most challenging threat to face the Glee club yet -- laryngitis! Also, if you're not done mourning the blow that Lost delivered last week, get ready for a new episode, which is sure to have another shocker in store! See what else is new tonight: 8/7c American Idol on Fox Dancing with the Stars on ABC The Biggest Loser on NBC NCIS on CBS 90210 on The CW 9/8c Glee on Fox Lost on ABC NCIS: Los Angeles on CBS 10/9c Parenthood on NBC The Good Wife on CBS V (Reimagined Series) on ABC The Hills on MTV Justified on FX Law & Order: Criminal Intent on USA Network 10:30/9:30c The City on MTV
Gleeâs Lea Michele has issued an apology on Twitter to a photographer who reportedly asked her for her name after he photographed her at the party for the Time 100, a list of the worldâs most influential people. According to reports, Michele rolled her eyes and offered the names Taylor Swift and Sarah Palin - women who had also made the magazineâs cut. âBig apology to @PatrickMcMullan. Totally didnât expect you (or anyone) @Time 100 to know who I was w/all the amazin people there:)â Michele wrote. âMade a silly joke that didnât go over, so sorry. It was such an incredible night and I was beyond honored and thrilled to be there:)â I can buy that sheâd given the names as a self-deprecating joke: It was probably one of those times you think, âIâve made it,â and then hereâs someone throwing a verbal slushie in your face, reminding you that you havenât. The situation did get me wondering: How many of the 13 Glee actors in this photo can you actually name?* If I wasnât writing about them every other day, Iâm not sure how many I would know. Iâm far more interested in their characters than I am their private lives - which speaks volumes for the show. * Full names, spelled correctly. Source Here
A lot of big changes are happening in the next episode of "Glee". Puck makes the biggest move, shaving off his mohawk and seducing Mercedes in a bid to elevate his social status. Smelling something rotten in the air, Mercedes snaps, "I'm gonna ask you to stop!" Meanwhile, Kurt tries to change his persona to impress his father. This means, taking an advice from Sue Sylvester and hooking up with Brittany in the basement. Rachel panics when a sore throat affects her singing and the doctor jokingly says she can't sing anymore. In a spoiler by TV addict, it was said that Kurt will do two big solos, one of them being "Rose's Turn" from the musical production "Gypsy: A Musical Fable". Finn will also get his solo piece, singing Rick Springfield's "Jessie's Girl". "Laryngitis" airs May 11. Source & Preview
The larger-than-life characters, their multiple love triangles (which oftentimes turn into squares), the hilarity of the many politically-incorrect ways that "Sue Cs It," the melodrama of a faux pregnancy gone terribly wrong (as I'm sure most faux pregnancies do) -- the list of reasons to love Glee is practically endless. But if I had to pick just one reason I can't get enough of the show that has officially earned #1 priority on my extremely busy TiVo, it's got to be the music! By default, it's not exactly wholly original (after all, Glee is all about covers), but that doesn't make it any less AWESOME. The Gleeks somehow never fail to put a modern spin on a classic song, turn a campy show tune totally radio-worthy, or make even a recent hit sound completely unique (I actually hated Rihanna's "Take a Bow" before Rachel Berry made it her anti-Finn anthem)! And any TV show soundtrack that can make you laugh, cry, dance, and sing along, sometimes all at the same time (don't lie, I know I'm not the only one!), deserves some serious praise! Now, you gotta hear me out. Choosing only 10 songs from a huge arsenal of hits that have not only topped the iTunes charts for the past year but have also become the soundtrack of my entire life (well, I guess 4 soundtracks now, officially) was no easy feat. I had to take many things into consideration: the impressiveness of the vocal chops, the evocativeness of the tone (watch out, I'm getting technical here!), its relevance to the show, its potential as a jam-worthy hit even out of the episode's context... while overall trying to maintain a nice well-rounded list. Now keep in mind that I also compiled this list when Idina Menzel hasn't sung yet on the show -- she's definitely a game-changer in my book! In any case, after much deliberation (& I'll admit, a little "eenie-meenie-miney-mo" action for those too-difficult decisions), I've finally come up with what I think are the top 10 best Glee songs to date, including some convenient iTunes links for easy downloading if you don't already have them yet in your collection! 10. True Colors Tina finally gets her big solo moment in Hairography , and although Artie may not have been her biggest fan at the time, we can't help but love her! 9. Sweet Caroline Whoa. Puck has a sensitive side? While his inner softie went right back into hiding after his guitar-accompanied solo in Mash-Up , his rendition of the Neil Diamond classic had us all swooning (okay, maybe not all of us... but I'm guilty fo sho)! 8. And I Am Telling You I'm Not Going We love Rachel and all, but she's not all that. Mercedes is sick of her stealing her thunder and finally steps it up to stake her claim as the superior soloist when she totally kills the "Dreamgirls" power ballad (in a good way!) in the Sectionals episode. 7. Gold Digger Heck yes, Mr. Schuester can rap! In Showmance , he finally gives his disgruntled performers some more "modern" music to perform. & in a time where Kanye doesn't have too many people on his side lately, Will puts a much more likable spin on the hit! 6. My Life Would Suck Without You Will & Emma finally kiss. A half-season's worth of sexual tension released after Sectionals . Enough said. 5. Imagine In Hairography , New Directions lends some helping hands to one of their competitor glee clubs in one of the most poignant moments of the season! 4. Don't Rain On My Parade -- We always knew Lea Michele had some serious pipes, but she really pulled out all the stops when she belted out Barbara Streisand's hit during a last-minute set change in Sectionals ! Talk about saving the show! 3. Don't Stop Believin' The one that started it all, this song was the very initial promising glimpse of New Directions' potential. When the Pilot preview first aired last May, this first single is all we had to hold us over until the first season officially premiered in the fall! 2. Like A Prayer In an overall relatively underwhelming second half of the season, The Power of Madonna's choir-esque "Like a Prayer" number injected a healthy dose of much-needed energy! Ironically, this entire number was cut off from people's TiVo recordings (thanks a lot American Idol !), so if you missed it, it's a must-watch! 1. Somebody To Love After so much exhausting and emotionally-draining glee club quits and bail-outs and drama, this performance from The Rhodes Not Taken finally brought the team back together once and for all (or so we thought at the time). It was joyous (though I guess glee ful is a better word), it was poignant, it was high-energy, & it gave viewers that much-needed guarantee that New Directions was back on-track and serious about the competition. Plus, Mercedes' ridiculous high-note alone was enough to send me straight to iTunes to get this number on my iPod, STAT! Do you agree with my list? Don't be afraid to fight me on it if you've got a favorite I missed... I'm open to some serious Glee debate!
"Glee" lets out a sneak peek of the May 4 episode where Sue Sylvester starts measuring students' popularity through Glist. Some like Kurt, Mercedes, Artie and Tina don't even make it to the list so Kurt proposes a way to get the C-listers to be the A-listers. Surprisingly, Brittany is in because she only gets the fourth position. The episode is called "Bad Reputation". Mr. Schuester starts an investigation when a salacious list about members of the glee club circulates the halls of McKinley High. Meanwhile, Sue is mortified when a video of her performing the Olivia Newton-John classic "Physical" surfaces. In fact, the audio of the duet between Sue and Olivia has surfaced. "We had a little dance rehearsal and then we spent the whole day together," Jane Lynch says about working with Olivia. "She's just a wonderful woman, exactly the way you'd think she'd be." Source & Sneak Peek
Heather Morris is officially a series regular on Glee. The announcement was made last week. As Brittany, the actress is good for one or two hilarious one-liners per week (Her cat is reading her diary; Dolphins are just gay sharks), and in a new interview with TV Guide Magazine, she also teases that the character might be next in line to fall in love on the show. "We just shot some promo images and they paired me up with Harry (Shum Jr.), who plays Mike Chang. We were pretending to be kissing at prom, so I'm wondering if they're going to build a story around us... They could have a cute little romance." Sounds great to us. As previous Glee spoilers have revealed, the relationship carousel will continue to turn as season one progresses. Along with Morris, Glee has promoted Naya Rivera, who plays Santana, to full-time regular status. 'I didn't expect it at all since they have like twelve regulars already,' said Heather. 'I didn't think they would add more.' We're very glad they have. Source Here
No doubt that all of you Gleeks out there saw the news announced today that Quinn Fabray - errr, rather, the actress who plays Quinn, Dianna Agron - just signed on as the star of I Am Number Four, an adaptation of young-adult sci-fi novels by James Frey (yes, that James Frey!) and Jobie Hughes. The story revolves around a bunch of aliens who, after being threatened by a rival species, have abandoned their home planet for earth. Agron plays a high school girl dating one of the aliens. The role in the decidedly up-market project, which finds Transformers' Michael Bay producing with Steven Spielberg, was apparently highly sought-after. To Read More Click Here .
" Glee " will welcome two guest stars next week in the episode "Bad Reputation". Molly Shannon is Brenda Castle, McKinley High's badminton coach who develops a prickly and combative relationship with Sue. Meanwhile, Olivia Newton-John appears as herself, singing "Physical" with Sue. Mr. Schuester starts an investigation when a salacious list about members of the glee club circulates the halls of McKinley High. Meanwhile, Sue is mortified when a video of her performing the Olivia Newton-John classic "Physical" surfaces. "Bad Reputation" airs on May 4. On a side note, Robin Trocki who plays Sue's sister Jean and appeared in episode "Wheels" will return in the upcoming episode. The Academy of Television Arts and Sciences held "An Evening With Glee" on Monday, April 26 in Los Angeles. Speaking of the possibility of Britney Spears episode, creator Ryan Murphy told On the Red Carpet, "We talked about it. She certainly would love to do it. And I think she's phenomenally talented. And the kids and the cast certainly have a great connection to her. So maybe, yeah. We're going to talk about it." Source Here

US Navy launches fastest ship USS Freedom to fight piratesby shilpa
US Navy personnel can now relax. They have invented something, yes, despite the recession and most companies going emptier than a stadium on non-game days that will help them fight pirates than just wait to get captured. It is a new high tech ship called USS Freedom (how typical). It can apparently go up against massive enemy fleets and is one of the fastest ships in the Navy to date. It can now chase down pirates off the coast of Somalia faster and more aggressively than previous vessels could.
The USS Freedom has a modular design and requires fewer crew members — about 40 in total. It can go up to 45 mph. it is even being called the Navy's corvette. Seriously? Driving a speed car and racing a gigantic vessel are not PRECISELY the same kind.

75000 Bank Jobs Likely in 2017
By Adminstrator on Dec 29, 2016 with Comments 0
More than 70000 bank jobs were announced in the year 2016. Out of these about 48000 were announced by the IBPS and about 19000 by SBI.
Remaining vacancies were announced by other miscellonous banks.
In the year 2017 this number is likely to increase as IBPS is likely to announce similar number of vacancies. Similarly SBI is also likely to announce its clerk as well as PO recruitment in 2017.
Latest Recruitment Announced in SBI 2017
It is likely that more than 75000 bank jobs will be announced. This analysis is based on the figures of last few years. So those who are preparing for bank jobs should make all out efforts which may give them their dream job.

Hi all, Section 4.6 includes the following text under point 4b: "Rewrite interval, vectors, matrices, and matrix rows as described in Section 22.214.171.124 Interval |<interval>| <http://www.w3.org/TR/MathML/chapter4.html#contm.interval>, Section 22.214.171.124 Vector |<vector>| <http://www.w3.org/TR/MathML/chapter4.html#contm.vector>, Section 220.127.116.11 Matrix |<matrix>| <http://www.w3.org/TR/MathML/chapter4.html#contm.matrix> and Section 18.104.22.168 Matrix row |<matrixrow>| <http://www.w3.org/TR/MathML/chapter4.html#contm.matrixrow>". However, sections 188.8.131.52, 126.96.36.199, and 188.8.131.52 do not describe any rules on how to rewrite vector, matrix, and matrixrow elements. Given that vectors (and matrices, and matrixrows) can have domain qualifiers, I presume that there is supposed to be a transformation like the one for sets, although it is not clear what OpenMath the following is supposed to map into: <vector> <bvar><ci>x</ci></bvar> <domainofapplication><set><cn>1</cn><cn>2</cn><cn>3</cn></set></domainofapplication> <apply><plus/> <ci>x</ci> <cn>1</cn> </apply> </vector> The OpenMath linalg7 CD has a list_to_vector symbol, but it is a binary function that requires the ring of the vector to be specified explicitly.Received on Sunday, 25 March 2012 18:57:37 UTC

Mapping the Mind to Build Smarter Machines
Although the ability of computers to collect and disseminate information has rapidly advanced in recent years, the machines' ability to correctly process and analyze that information—especially from images and photographs—lags far behind. This creates a problem for organizations with too much image data and not enough human beings to sort through it.
A Research and Exploratory Development Department (REDD) team hopes to solve that problem by developing computational strategies, based on human brain structure and function, to quickly and accurately analyze large amounts of information.
Jacob Vogelstein is the lead researcher on the Electron Microscopy (EM) Connectome project, an independent research and development (IRAD) initiative to transform detailed pictures of brain structures into a computational model.
The first step of the project is to create a map of the connectome—the name for the entire web of neural connections in the brain—from high-resolution EM images.
That's not a simple task. With about 100 trillion synapses in the brain, it would be impossible for scientists to manually identify all of a brain's neurons and trace all of their connections. REDD's Jim Burck, systems engineer for the project, estimates that this job would take about 10 trillion hours, or 1.1 billion years, if done by hand. The EM Connectome project will exponentially speed up the mapping process by developing algorithms to trace the neurons, then convert the data into a meaningful representation of how the brain does its computing. In addition to creating novel algorithms, the team collaborates with academic labs at The Johns Hopkins University for some formulas, and uses others available in the public domain.
"For the most part, this project isn't about new math; it's about applying existing math to new problems," says Vogelstein, a program manager for Applied Neuroscience Research and Development.
The team is bringing together experts from across APL: Vogelstein and Burck are working with William Gray, of the Force Projection Department, Angela Hodge, of the Air and Missile Defense Department, and Dean Kleissas and Philippe Burlina, of REDD. The team's ultimate goal is to map the entire connectome, but right now it is focusing on a small but important computing unit, called a cortical column, which is roughly one cubic millimeter in size.
After creating a map of the cortical column, the team will turn its attention to the specific subnetworks of neurons (neural circuits) that process specific functions. "Each neuron basically does the same thing, just like each transistor in a circuit does the same thing," Vogelstein says. "If you want to understand what's happening in the brain, you need to understand the network—the circuit diagram."
Burck explains that the data start as a 3-D image, then get translated into a graph, and finally are analyzed for patterns indicative of circuits. Vogelstein hopes that the process can be used to create models of microcircuits that will mimic brain functions and be used in the next generation of intelligent machines. More specifically, APL's primary goal is to use the connectome information to create better machines for automated image interpretation.
"Any insight into the fundamental modes of computing in the brain would be of great value to all of our sponsors that engage in any kind of computationally demanding program," Vogelstein says. More specifically, he adds, there are a number of government agencies that might be interested in this technology to more quickly triage images collected for intelligence operations.
Vogelstein and the team already know quite a bit about the connectome: They've been working on the Magnetic Resonance (MR) Connectome Automated Pipeline, which examines the brain on a larger scale and looks to identify how different people's brains are wired with regard to cognitive performance and psychological disorders. "The MR project is about creating new tools to assess brain function," Vogelstein says. "The EM project is about creating new insights into how the brain functions."
According to the team, connectomics is an emerging field of science and APL is one of few organizations looking to use it as an enabling technology. Vogelstein describes EM's time horizon as years, not months, and that the initial goal of the IRAD is "partially to spec out how far away we are from being able to exploit this data."
"I am very excited about this project and the associated challenges," Burck says. "It provides opportunities in the areas of massive data storage and retrieval, image processing, machine learning, informatics, and neurally inspired computing. APL brings a fresh eye to each of these, and can also provide systems engineering to put them all together into a cohesive whole."

Right, and the result of adopting an amendment is to change the GR under consideration. It's elementary parliamentary procedure. Accepting an amendment (by either process A.1.2 or A.1.3) amounts to amending the proposal, which is NOT the same thing as adopting the proposal as amended. Now in many cases, one might compress two votes to one, and vote to adopt an amendment at the same time as adopting the resultant proposition. Doing so always seems like a nice optimization at the time, but it makes things more confusing the first tme the extra process is necessary (like today). > I have provided A.1.2. as context. John Goerzen has made it clear that he > does not accept the language of Anthony Towns's amendment. Therefore > A.1.3. applies here. Anthony Towns's amendment must be voted on > effectively as an independent GR. Eek, no. If Towns wanted a separate GR, he would have proposed one. Instead, he proposed an *amendment*, which, if it succeeds, amends the proposal, but does not thereby adopt it.

Austin Tichenor On ... The Complete World of Sports (Abridged)
Glenn Meads • Blackpool, Bolton, Chester, Lancaster, Liverpool, Manchester, Oldham, Salford • 1 Jun 2012
'Reduced' as a concept has been running for some time. Why do you think it's successful as a brand?
Oh, lots of reasons. If you're paying good money to go to theatre, it's got to be worth your time, which is why we only tackle the most important topics of the day. Then, we get straight to the point to give you the gist of whatever our subject matter is. We also give extremely good value for money: Where else can you laugh yourself silly at something that will also give you just enough valuable information to win pub quizzes? And finally - we're so successful mostly because there's no accounting for taste!
You have covered so many subjects - what have been your favourite shows to work?
That's like asking, "Which of your children is your favourite?" Our favourite shows are the pretty and talented ones, obviously. They're all fun to work on for different reasons or we wouldn't be working on them… ...but actually, if you put a gun to my head (which I know is not something that happens very much in the UK, but in America it happens all the time so we're used to it) I'd have to say the Sports show is my favourite. It just perfectly hits that sweet spot of smart and funny, verbal and physical, high-brow and low-brow, intelligent and really really stupid.)
Many will say that you attract new audiences to the theatre. How do you do this?
If that's true, it may because we're just fun. We're not important, we're not good for you, you won't learn anything, you'll just simply have a great time. (And yes, you may actually learn something, but it won't hit you until days or even weeks later, after you've stopped laughing.)
Tell us a a bit about the Complete World of Sports show and is there an Olympics theme?
Shh! Don't say "Olympics"! The International Olympic Committee is notoriously litigious and will come after anybody they think is trying to horn in on their action and infringe on their trademark. Let me make this perfectly clear: We do NOT cover the "Olympics" (All Rights Reserved) in The Complete World of Sports (abridged). We conclude our show with something we call "The Sixteen-Minute Quadrennial Global Medal Chase and Olymp-ISH Games". Which is, of course, totally different.
Do you have to be a sports fan to enjoy it?
As with all our shows, you don't have to be a fan of the topic to enjoy the show. Obviously sports fans get a kick out of it (just as Shakespeare scholars love our original show) but our greatest reviews have come from critics and audiences who tell us they HATE sports -- and loved the show anyway.
Are you looking forward to the Olympics?
Of course. We love the idea of nations putting aside their differences and competing for glory on a different field of battle. (As fans of both Tolkien and Lewis, we love fantasy.) And if the televised coverage is the same in the UK as it is in the US, we're looking forward to our favourite part: Sportcasters pontificating long-windedly about every athlete's rise from poverty and obscurity while killing time between tape-delayed events the internet-savvy audience already knows the scores of.
What's your favourite sport?
We each have different favourites: I love basketball for its action and almost-choreographed team flow; Reed loves baseball because it's a sport for only the truest, noblest, and highest-level of geek; and Matt loves tennis because it's the only sport where his father never criticised his playing. We know we'll all love soccer once they adopt the American rules of making each goal count for twenty points, be refereed by Pippa Middleton in a bikini, and allow the use of handguns. And we're convinced we'd learn to love cricket if we only we could stay awake.
What's the funniest thing that has ever happened to you on stage?
The funniest times for us are usually when things go horribly, disastrously, hysterically WRONG. Then we have to improvise and find our way out of it. It's not something we plan or hope for, but every now and then it happens….and in fact, the last time it happened, we actually got a recording of it. If you want, click (or cut and paste) this link and skip ahead to the 16:45 mark.
What are your plans when the run is over?
We'll probably hit the pub. Oh, I see what you mean -- We've actually written and premiered our eighth stage show The Ultimate Christmas Show (abridged), which concludes with a traditional English panto. Reduced, of course. Hopefully, we'll bring that back to the UK soon.
Finally, why should people come along and see the show?
Well, you've got to join in the Olympic frenzy somehow, don't you? If you're excited about the Olympics, come celebrate it with us. If you can't stand the Olympics, come make fun of it with us. If you're a fan of the Reduced Shakespeare Company, come hang out with us - we haven't toured the UK in over four years! And if you're not a fan, you should come see what all the fuss is about. I promise you, you'll laugh yourself silly. If you don't laugh yourself silly, we'll be in the foyer after the show, you can come down and tell us why. That's our guarantee! If you want to hear highlights of the Sports show, you can click here (or cut and paste) and skip to the 10:20 mark. Enjoy!

The Complete World of Sports (Abridged) is at the Buxton Opera House on 18 June and The Lowry on 8 July.

Aliens in America is one of the best new comedies on television. That may sound like hyperbole, since this is a story about its star, but it also happens to be true. While it's also true that there are not an abundance of great new comedies this fall, Aliens would stand out no matter how strong the competition. It's the story of Justin Tolchuk, a small town teenager who finds himself a hopeless social misfit at his high school. In an effort to "import" a friend for him, his mother signs up to house an exchange student.
That student, Raja, happens to be a Pakistani Muslim - an even bigger outsider in Justin's small town, thus making him even more of an outcast. However, the two boys end up forming a strong friendship and what looked like a social disaster ends up being perhaps the best thing to happen to Justin. The show has a touch of Wonder Years, a bit of Freaks and Geeks and maybe even a little of the dearly departed Arrested Development. Any comedy that can somehow work 9/11 into a joke, and NOT have it be offensive - is onto something good.
It was some time ago that actor Dan Byrd was first cast as Justin Tolchuk. As far as he can remember, he was the first person cast on the series - which ultimately didn't get picked up. Thinking the project was dead, as so often happens with television pilots, the actor was moving on to other things when he got the call that The CW - the new network formed out of the ashes of The WB and UPN, were picking up Aliens in America.
"The time we started shooting the pilot to the time we started shooting the actual TV series was almost exactly a year," Byrd said. "There was at least six months of just assuming nothing was going to happen with it. It hadn't really been put to rest officially, but I just assumed it wasn't going any further. So it was a really nice surprise when they decided to pick it up for fall."
This meant heading to Vancouver, Canada where the production is located. As many actors relocated to Canada will tell you, it creates a closer bond between the cast and crew. Nobody can really go back to their normal lives, because they're not living at home. Instead they're essentially stuck together in a foreign country (well, sort of, it is only Canada). Upon making the move, Byrd decided to let life mimic fiction by moving in with his co-star, Adhir Kalyan.
"You're spending so much time together professionally and then you're at home with this person too," Byrd said. " It's a lot of face time we have with each other, but I think ultimately it's helped us form a really strong bond that eventually will end up bleeding into what's happening on screen."
While Justin is an awkward teenager almost constantly under siege at school, Byrd says his experience wasn't quite like that. In fact, he actually left high school to pursue actor just before his senior year. "I can definitely relate to lots of things that Justin has to go through," Byrd said. "But my high school experience was a little stilted compared to this one."

Football Commentary: Weis' career more than just this year
Chris Hine | Friday, November 9, 2007
Take yourself back to November 2004. You remember, when all the kids were (regrettably) getting "crunk" thanks to Usher and Lil' John, everyone and their mom was quoting "Napoleon Dynamite," and Notre Dame had a mediocre football team.
Imagine a dejected Notre Dame fan from 2007 traveling back in time to tell you that the University would fire Tyrone Willingham at the end of the season, Charlie Weis would replace him and lead the team to two BCS Bowl appearances, recruit as well as anyone in the country, and have one bad season.
You probably would've looked at this dejected 2007 fan and said, "Why are you sad? I'd give up my kids if Notre Dame could be that successful again." Well, maybe you wouldn't give up your kids, but I can't be so sure of that after judging the reaction fans had on the radio, Internet and the Viewpoint section of The Observer the past few weeks.
The old football cliché says that a quarterback needs to have short memory to be successful. If Irish quarterbacks Jimmy Clausen and Evan Sharpley need help developing a short memory, maybe they should turn to the crowd at Notre Dame Stadium and ask for help.
Some of the same fans that speculated how many championships Weis would win during his tenure now "boo" him during the "1812 Overture." Humans, especially fickle Notre Dame fans, are very good at forgetting the past and losing context in the face of a present crisis. What happened last year and two years ago doesn't seem to matter to them.
Yes, the team is 1-8, there's no getting around it. Weis has admitted he hasn't done a good job this season and that's a consensus right now among even his staunchest supporters. Some of Notre Dame's enemies also predicted this could be a down year for the Irish.
"Three years ago, you could see it coming," USC coach Pete Carroll said after the Trojans defeated the Irish 38-0 on Oct. 20. "They had all the juniors that played and started and they had a really good team and they played all the seniors the next year. They were fortunate to keep a few of those guys around that could have left. It's just all about recruiting, and if you're able to restock, but that's hard to recover from all of those losses from those experienced players."
This statement is almost more remarkable for what Carroll didn't say than for what he did. Carroll had an opportunity to kick Weis when he was down and say Weis was doing a terrible job, but he didn't. He knew it would be hard for Notre Dame to succeed once Quinn and Co. left. Still, some fans couldn't care less that Weis is trying to fix Notre Dame's lack of depth by recruiting well – they want to see results now.
During the Georgia Tech game, I stood in the student section by a clearly drunken undergraduate who kept yelling obscenities at the players and Weis. Each obscenity followed the same pattern: "What have you done for me in the past six months, you [expletive followed by name of player or coach]."
Now why this kid only cared about the last six months, I'll never know, and I didn't bother to ask him. Maybe this was the full capacity of his inebriated brain and he couldn't remember beyond last Valentine's Day.
But six months, or even the last three months is not the correct time frame to judge Weis' impact on Notre Dame. He made Notre Dame fans believe again, and maybe that's part of the reason why 1-8 is so hard to take. When signing day rolls around and the recruits sign their letters of intent, you'll remember why Weis is still at Notre Dame. Soon, the thankful fan of 2009 will look back on that dejected fan of 2007 and say, "What the hell were you thinking?"

Jefferson County parents arrested for not paying child support
Published 1:56 pm, Wednesday, October 31, 2012
Eighteen Jefferson County parents were arrested this week for violating court orders.
The county's sheriff's office conducted a sweep of the county for parents who had arrest warrants because of their failure to pay child support, a release from the sheriff's office states.
The arrests were made early Tuesday morning, before parents had a chance to leave their homes for the day, the release states.
The Texas Attorney General's Child Support Division investigators and the Jefferson County District Attorney's Office, assisted in locating the parents.
Those arrested on civil warrants face up to six months in jail and any cash bonds posted by the parents for release from the Jefferson County Correctional Facility will be given to the custodial parents and children who are owed back child support, the release says.
Parents who have fallen behind on their child support payments, but are not subject to warrants for their arrest, can contact the Attorney General's Child Support Division at (800) 252-8014 to make payment arrangements, the release says.
Statewide, child support collected by the Office of the Attorney General was more than $3.4 billion for the state fiscal year that ended Aug. 31, 2012. The Jefferson County child support offices collected $90 million of that amount, the release states.

Treatment depends on the location, on whether it is superficially located or deep within, and on whether or not there are serious consequences.
Some can be watched and treated with over-the-counter pain relievers as they do not create a threat to the body, while others need radical treatment with blood thinners and even surgery.

For most of their 17-year marriage, Ann and Fred Redman of Magnolia, Texas, struggled in vain to have children. "We tried everything from fertility treatments to laser surgery," recalls Ann. "Nothing worked." The avenue of adoption seemed blocked: Fred, 53, was considered too old for fatherhood by U.S. adoption agencies. Then the Redmans discovered Los Ninos International Adoption Center, a Houston-based, nonprofit organization that helps Americans adopt youngsters in Latin America. Within months the Redmans arrived in La Paz, Bolivia, where they were introduced to baby twin sisters and their Indian mother, who was offering the infants for adoption because she...

Flammkuchen with apples, hazzlenuts und goat cheese
If you like it, save it!
Save and organize all of the stuff you love in one place.Got it!
If you like something…
Click the heart, it's called favoriting. Favorite the stuff you like.Got it!
Author Notes: I'm not a fan of traditional Flammeküchen. It's way too heavy, cheesy and onion-y. All of it together is sometimes too much for me so I tried to find variations that will make it somewhat easier to digest. This is one of them: the apple and the fresh goat cheese makes it lighter. —MarieGlobetrotter
Makes 1
- 200g flour
- 10g yeast
- Salt and pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon Sugar
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1 Boskop or Braeburn Apple
- 1 red onion
- 2 teaspoons Hazelnuts
- 40 milliliters Crème fraîche
- 2 ounces fresh goat cheese (50g)
- 3-4 sprigs Thyme
- 4 Sage leaves
- 2 teaspoons Honey
- some sugar
- Dough: Mix the yeast with 125ml water and let stand. Add ½ tsp sugar In a bowl, stir together flour and salt. Forma well in the middle and pour in water-yeast mixture. Let stand for a little then add the oil. Knead the dough with your hands. Work for about 10 minutes until the dough is soft and smooth. To make it rise, place the dough in a bowl, cover it with a clean cloth and in place it warm room for about hour. The dough must double in volume.
- In the meantime, cut into thin slices. Sprinkle with some sugar. Cut the onion into thing slices Coarse the hazelnuts
- Preheat the oven the highest temperature possible. Line a baking tray with parchment paper.
- Once the dough has lifted, rol out very thinly. Put the dough on the baking sheet. Spread crème fraîche on top, then lay the apple slices, onions and hazelnuts (in that order). Sprinkle with pepper and salt. Top with crumbles of fresh goat cheese.
- Bake the Flammekuche for 20 minutes, placing the baking tray in the middle of the oven.
- Wash the thyme and pluck off the leaves. Simply wipe the sage leaves with a clean kitchen towel. Once the Flammekuche is backed, sprinkle with thyme leaves, sage and honey. Serve immediately.

While some of the findings of the research are not surprising based on our observations at times up close and first-hand with our clients and in other situations from afar based on what we read and hear at industry events.
Phoenix, AZ (PRWEB) March 20, 2012
Televerde, a leading provider of B2B lead generation and lead nurturing solutions, has just published the results of its B2B Marketing Research Study. This is the fourth edition of the research and features responses from more than 300 marketing and sales executives to some of the questions. The research, conducted online and at some of the industry events Televerde participates in, features metrics and other insight associated with more than 70 questions about lead generation, lead nurturing, lead conversion, marketing automation and contact data practices and performance. Some highlights:
Lead Generation & Conversion
- Outbound calling lead generation campaigns are retaining a tight strong "quantity to quality" performance ratio with only a 4% disparity reported by respondents.
- 68% recognize lead leakage/loss as a significant challenge for their companies.
- 40% don't have an effective process for gathering sales rep feedback on lead quality and quantity.
- Lead generation is the most commonly outsourced demand creation activity (67%) along with contact data/marketing lists (45%).
Contact Data/Marketing Lists
- 55% report that their marketing contact data resides in more than one database.
- 47% report that their CRM system is the primary placeholder for their contact data while 30% report residing their contact data in their marketing automation system.
- 89% admit to experiencing contact data challenges, with 51% reporting incomplete contact information and 45% reporting un-cleansed, outdated and un-enriched information as their most significant data-related challenges.
Lead Nurturing
- 46% state that the highest priority outcome of lead nurturing should be better conversion rates, followed by a higher volume of qualified leads (40%) and more disciplined lead management (32%).
- 52% report that using relevant content is the most effective use of their nurturing practices followed by the ability of nurturing to sustain ongoing contact via human touch and email (50% in both cases).
- Most respondents (56%) do not nurture leads based on their buying cycle stage.
- 39% do not nurture sales-rejected leads and 41% do not nurture disengaged leads.
Marketing Automation
- 24% of the respondents who do not currently have a marketing automation platform are planning to invest in one with Eloqua and Marketo topping the list of most commonly used and considered platforms.
- 32% are using their marketing automation platform only occasionally.
- Of those that are experiencing its benefits, 58% state that better business intelligence and metrics are the primary benefits, while 52% says it's made their lead management process more disciplined and 43% are experiencing improved conversion rates.
- 67% of respondents cannot quantify their total cost of ownership of their marketing automation platform.
"While some of the findings of the research are not surprising based on our observations at times up close and first-hand with our clients and in other situations from afar based on what we read and hear at industry events," explains Larry Fleischman, Televerde's Director of Marketing, "there were some results that shook us a bit. For example, 68% of the respondents are experiencing lead leakage/lead loss in their sales pipelines despite the availability of best practices, processes and systems that can significantly mitigate this issue. And 89% of respondents are experiencing contact data challenges." Fleischman says that although Televerde was aware that the data accuracy challenge is widespread because the company sees it and addresses it all the time, the fact that nearly everyone who responded to the study categorizes it as a major hurdle was a bit surprising.
"Another 'loop throwing' finding for us was that more than one-third of the respondents are not nurturing sales-rejected leads and nearly half aren't nurturing disengaged leads," Fleischman states. "It's a major missed opportunity for future revenue opportunities."
Fleischman observes that one organization's challenge can be another's opportunity (meaning the respondents' competitors). "For any of the respondents who reported issues with lead waste, poor quality contact data, sub-optimized lead nurturing practices, and low conversion rates compared to their peers, then our research should serve as a call to action to take steps to correct the situations that need attention." He recommends optimizing demand creation programs to generate stronger sales revenue performance and to mitigate losses that are converting to gains for competitors who may be doing a better job than respondents in some or all of these areas.
You can participate in Televerde's ongoing B2B Marketing Research Study and download the latest edition of the comprehensive findings. In exchange for respondents providing some basic contact information when taking the survey, Televerde we'll enter names in a drawing for either an Amazon Kindle Fire or for its complimentary Lead Nurturing & Data Diagnostics Audit.

Type: Incident report
Status: Closed
Priority: Major
Resolution: Fixed
Affects Version/s: 1.8.1
Fix Version/s: 1.8.2
Component/s: API (A), Server (S)
Issue Links
Fixed in server code in version pre1.8.2, rev. 11120.
a problem was discovered - it is possible to choose items from other templates, and that can result in frontend errors.
most likely when configuring a graph for a template, only items from the same template should be allowed to be chosen.
additionally, even when that would be restricted, the following problem should still be fixed (users might have created such a configuration previously) :
reset() expects parameter 1 to be array, boolean given[/usr/local/apache2/htdocs/dev/ZBX-2225-graph_maxi_inh/api/classes/class.cgraph.php:830]
dev branch rev 11168 - it is still possible to save graph with axis item refs to different templates.
there should be api level checks that :
1. if graph items are from a template, axis item references must be from the same template;
2. axis item references can only be from a single template
branches/1.8 11189
something went wrong with the merge or elsewhere - current trunk head fails with :
[ CGraph::update ] Graph [ graph_upper ]: Incorrect item for Ymax value
branches/1.8 11324
I'm sorry but i don't quite understand the fix here. Is the fix applied in a dev branch wich will be released with 1.8.3?
this particular issue should be fixed in 1.8.2, but there was another (less serious) problem with item references, which is fixed in svn head (and will be released as 1.8.3)

In future please let first time visitors know, i would happily adhere to any rules, i would of happily bought a mat at the start of the round,not a problem. The thing that annoys me most, a 3 ball In front and behind me and nothing was said to them.

Had heard some good things about the course from a former member and so headed up on a frosty morning in January. We fully expected to play on winter greens given the forecast. However, what we didn't expect was the layout.
We'll overlook the fact that the clubhouse alarm was going off and could easily be heard over the first 6 holes as they had obviously elected to let all the staff have the day off (it is a public holiday in Scotland). We had booked ahead using the internet so tee'd off. It became clear that the temporary greens have been setup to remove the character from the holes. It would appear no attempt has been made to protect the greens. Rather than having the temps on the aprons of the current greens, some are as far away as 150 yards (8th). The setup for the 15th and 16th beggars belief as well as the placement of the green for what should be a great 17th hole.
The course does look like a great challenge when playing correctly, but with the number to choose from in the area I'd be more inclined to try them out before returning here.

I first played Balmore just over a year ago, and really enjoyed the experience. A friendly welcome from the helpful staff made the pre-round experience very relaxing. There's a practice area for those, like myself, who like a warm up. The course is very well kept and the USGA greens are excellent. The course offers plenty of challenges and also some great looking holes. Some might not like the fact that the course has no Par 5s but that suits me as I'm no long hitter. My friends all love this course too so it makes for a great social occasion. If the membership was a bit cheaper, I'd have most likely joined by now, as I've played there at least a dozen times over the last year.

Differential Amplifier with Active Headstage (DP-311)
The DP-311 AC/DC Differential Amplifier is highly suited for EEG, EKG and extracellular recording using glass or metal microelectrodes.
- Excellent common mode rejection: 120 dB at 60 Hz
- Small active headstage which can be mounted in micromanipulators
- Suitable for use with high impedance glass or metal microelectrodes
The DP-311 AC/DC Differential Amplifier is highly suited for EEG, EKG and extracellular recording using glass or metal microelectrodes. Features include high input impedance, high common mode rejection [120 dB @ 60 Hz], low noise, high gain, high DC tolerance, bandwidth filtering and an active headstage.
High Input Z, High CMR
High common mode rejection is very important in minimizing electrical interference. The high input resistance of the DP-311 Series (1012 typical) ensures that the instrument's high CMR will not be degraded by differences in source impedance at the input. This is important in extracellular recording, where the difference in resistance of the recording and indifferent electrode is often large.
High DC Tolerance
Extracellular action potentials are typically measured in microvolts but are usually accompanied by much larger DC electrode voltages. The DP-311 is designed to amplify these microvolt level events with as much as ±2 Volts DC at the input.
High Gain, Low Noise & Bandwidth Limiting
With gain selections at x10, x100, x1000 and x10,000, even microvolt signals are sufficiently amplified for computer and recorder inputs. Noise is very low, typically 8 µV p-p at 1 Hz to 10 kHz bandwidth. Reducing the bandwidth with the low pass and high pass filters further lowers noise.
Calibration Signal
An internal Cal signal provides a convenient check of amplifier gain and operation.(DP-311 Headstage included)

Get a grip...certain things I can expect the cabin steward to sort out before I take over a cabin ie, fart smell of previous occupant removed, change the sheets, hoover the carpet etc, But asking them to remove the "brew your own still" from my room is a step to far.
Plus that would only work on cruises of days 21+, those seven day ones don't allow you enough time to smuggle the sugar on board or give you the fermenting time. Unless of course you are stealing all the little sugar packets from dining and buffet for your said still.
So what do you have now, a sugar shortage on ship for everyone's coffee and tea, plus the trail of little bits of paper in your hurry to get them open to place in your still.
I accept all "specialist" cruises, Gay, Nude, under 10 only (thats what they can look like) or the Christian fundamentalists....but there are flaws in this idea

text: House lawmakers moved yesterday to protect tobacco sales on military bases and ships, prohibiting Navy plans to drop the products in the name of force health. As part of its annual defense authorization bill mark up on Wednesday, the House Armed Services Committee added language forbidding defense officials from enacting "any new policy that would limit, restrict, or ban the sale of any legal consumer product category" on military installations. Sponsor Rep. Duncan Hunter, said the measure was in direct response to reports that the Navy is working to eliminate tobacco sales at exchanges and on ships. Commissaries on Navy bases currently do not sell tobacco products. The move would be the most dramatic so far among military officials trying to keep service members from picking up or continuing the habit. In 2012, Navy Secretary Ray Mabus labeled tobacco as "the most avoidable public health hazard in the Navy and Marine Corps."

Jenni Rivera: Illegal immigrants might have trouble getting in to service
Tickets for singer Jenni Rivera's memorial at the Gibson Amphitheatre sold out minutes after they became available online, but some critics said a decision to require a credit card and photo ID is excluding illegal immigrants from attending.
The venue holds more than 6,100 people.
The Mexican American banda singer and six other people were killed Dec. 9 when a Learjet 25 crashed near Iturbide, Mexico.
PHOTOS: Fans remember Jenni Rivera
In an effort to prevent "improper" transactions, LiveNation required that those seeking seats use their credit cards to obtain a ticket for the Wednesday memorial. The tickets are free, but a $1 refundable fee was assessed. Ticketholders will be required to bring their credit cards and a matching photo ID to gain entrance.
That requirement excluded Rivera's fans who don't have a photo ID or credit card, said Josh Kun, associate professor at USC's Annenberg School for Communication and Journalism.
He tweeted his criticism Tuesday afternoon: "I have a ticket to the Jenni memorial only because I have a credit card and web access #LiveNation #CulturalFail. It's the privatization and politicization of mourning."
In particular, it would exclude undocumented immigrants, wrote Gabriel San Roman for the O.C. Weekly."This, even though Rivera's music and life resonated with them deeply," Roman said.
Live Nation could not immediately be reached for comment.

Timing Screw... Split Second Timing!
Product Announcement from Ernst Timing Screw Company
To keep your packaging line running smoothly and safely at peak efficiency, split second timing and accuracy in containing handling is critical.
The major function of any timing screw is to provide the smooth flow of containers into or between packaging machines, but today's highly sophisticated timing screws can do more than just feed containers into the packaging machine.
Using different design variations, the timing screw can halt or position containers for packaging operations and can serve as a line-control device. They can also accelerate, decelerate, divide or combine the container flow. The key to peak performance is dependent on the precise "form fit" between the container and timing screw.
Complete Customer Satisfaction
For over 48 years, the timing screw specialists at Ernst have always pampered our valued customers with courtesy and respect. We literally have manufactured change parts for most packaging machinery - cleaners, fillers, cappers, labelers, and thousands upon thousands of special helixes for the packaging industry. It's part of the service that makes us unique. We're large enough to meet your most technically demanding packaging requirements, yet small enough to personally care about you.
Come to us for answers to your toughest questions about timing screws and change parts. You can rely on our expertise, our highest quality workmanship and most personal service. That's why leading packaging machinery manufacturers specify Ernst precision-engineered timing screws.

Debit card swipe fees OK'd by courtComments Email
WASHINGTON (March 28, 2014) — A U.S. appeals court has overturned last July's district court ruling that the Federal Reserve improperly inflated the fees banks and card companies are allowed to charge retailers when their customers swipe debit cards.
The fees are currently set at 21 cents per transaction plus 1 to 3 cents more to cover fraud prevention and other adjustments. The Specialty Equipment Market Association's (SEMA) Washington staff reported that retailers argued the fees are too high to compensate the financial institution's "authorization, clearance or settlement" costs.
According to SEMA, the Dodd-Frank financial reform law provides the Federal Reserve with oversight of fees for processing debit card transactions ("interchange" fees). When that legislation was being debated in 2010, SEMA and 54 other trade associations asked Congress to limit the amount card companies could charge merchants when processing payments. Congress addressed swipe fees but not credit card fees.
The Federal Reserve had initially recommended a 12-cent transaction cap but then raised the fee to 21 cents, SEMA said.
The lower court ruling had not taken effect pending the appeal.
Retailers will now consider asking the appeals court to reconsider its decision or petition for a Supreme Court review.
For more information contact SEMA's Stuart Gosswein at firstname.lastname@example.com.

In case you didn't see it.....
I especially love this line....
"That Toyota recalled more cars in the United States than it sold last year and that the Tundra has been a complete bust is conveniently ignored in the effort to trash Detroit as stupid an arrogant."
Never been a Toyota fan, never will. I've never liked the Tundra and thought it was easily the ugliest pickup on the market, but never thought quality issues that cause recalls would be their problem....glad to see it.
All I can say is buy American...buy GM is even better, but at a minimum, buy American.
Wow I didn't realize Toyota was going down like that. That makes me sad in my pants.
Toyota was always my second favorite import to Nissan, but I haven't been involved with any new Toyotas (or had anyone close to me involved in them either) so have been ignorant on quality with them lately.
That's really too bad.
thank god for gm !!!!!!
I don't personally like to bash the foreign Companys. You all know I hate them, but I don't bring it up in every conversation, you know?
It really surprises me that Toyota - the legendary "resale value" - is having that many quality issues. True, they don't & can't make 'em like we do. But, Wow. It'll be ineresting to see if they actually drop back down to no. 2...I mean this news, and GM's turnaround...:iono: Interesting.
You do realize that Toyota and Nissan are more domestic than Chevy and Ford, right?
........I'm not going to start that argument again.:p
While I am no means anti-American made, Toyota products are reliable. Just like GM, they have long track records and its undeniable that they hold their value. That being said YES I own an 05 Tacoma, and it has yet to have any issues, it gets its maintenance just like my Dodge. The article posted is nothing more than brand bashing with a few minor slanted facts to back it up.
Finally, I understand brand loyalty. I do not understand brand bashing. Competition is good, if it means that GM has to produce a better product at a better price then fine. (oh and the whole economic argument is BS life isn't fair, business isn't fair)
PS. Yes the tundra is crap, and I hated thier advertising campaign for it. It took consumers lack of knowledge to boost its claims in performance and features.
My post wasn't intended to be a "brand bashing" thing....I was more "brand bragging" if you will about GM taking back the #1 spot. I'm a GM fan, plain and simple.
I don't really bash other brands, because when it comes down to it, almost every brand makes a decent to good product.
It just always got me when people would say, I buy a Toyota because I can put 250,000 miles on it before it dies. You can do that with a Bimmer, a Volkswagen, a Ford, a Chevy, any brand, if you maintain it properly.
That was more of a problem with Toyota-ists rather than the company, but still....
I will say that I was suprised that quality issues are becoming a problem for Toyota. I don't like them myself, but they always seem to be in the top 2 or 3 for quality awards.
I still say buy American. And while Toyotas and Hondas are made here in the USA, that doesn't mean they are American. Toyota, Honda, and Nissan are all foreign companies. BMW builds numerous vehicles here in the US, but no one ever claims they are a "US Company". GM builds cars (does anyone remember the F-bodies...lol) in Canada, but they aren't Canadian. Ford and GM both build cars in Mexico, but are they Mexican companies? Way too many examples to list all of them. It's pretty easy to decide. Where is corporate HQ? Not North American HQ or Europe HQ....Corporate.
You know, it's been A LONG time since our last public "discussion" about this, guys. And I've had a lot of time to think about it.
I want EVERYBODY to know I like GM best, all the way, hands down, okay? Okay.
Frankly, GM is no longer an "American Company". It is an "American Based Company"...still means the same thing, pretty much, but there is a difference. GM is, and has been a global Company, Britain, Australia, India...and more. So saying that the Foriegn car companys need to leave the US (like I have, for so, so long.), is pretty much the epitomy of Hipocracy. Because GM is in other foriegn countrys much like Toyota is in ours.
So badging a car with a nationality, still applys. Depending on where the Company is originally from. It's the same as the nationality of humans. No matter where your "born", you still have roots to somewhere else, and that's what you are!
What I will say, is this: I don't care if GM is the #1 Global car company, because if toyota sells in China, too, then they've got us beat already. China (population) is HUGE. However, as long as GM is #1 in the US, Which I think it is safe to say is true, Then I'm happy.
I will also say, that I still think Toyota and Nissan, and the rest, need to back off a little. It's not fair that they're getting these rumored tax breaks to be here, and our own companys aren't.
Then, after saying that...The fact that GM is still "no. 2", and will remain at least that (what other competition for the top to they have?), is a reflection of how great they really are as a company...overcoming the tax breaks they don't get, and the China population factor - and still staying on top. Cause let's face it folks, "on top" is a figure of speech in this instance: GM and Toyota are virtually equals, we're talking hundreds, or thousands of cars difference that make Toyota "# 1"...they're both #1, but there can't be a tie in the books.
Toyota is a Good company, but honestly, and we all know it, GM is better. Toyota has the wind at it's back, and GM is swimming against the current, yet they are still tied.
To put it in Camaro terms;). It's the equivilant to this: The Camaro isn't the best Car in the World, but it's still up there. What more can you ask for?
Seriously, stop posting when your HIGH.
Time to go back to research school Billy

Repubs On the Run
How can his wife not succeed in raising money? Lobbyists are standing in line to hand cash over to Doolittle. Big Dick Cheney has already raised $250,000 for Doolittle in advance contributions for a fund raising lunch he his attending in support of Doolittle. Good old "15%" will personally pocket $37,500 of that and use some of the rest for personal expenses such as child care.
Doolittle, a member of the House Appropriations Committee and of the House GOP leadership, has denied wrongdoing amid reports that his ties with Abramoff have drawn the attention of federal investigators. He has refused to return donations he has accepted from Abramoff and his clients, or from a defense contractor in the bribery case that took down Cunningham.
Doolittle also has defended an arrangement under which his wife, Julie, does his fund raising and gets a 15 percent commission on each sum she raises. Under this setup, the Doolittles' household benefits directly from every donation Doolittle gets.
A professional fund-raising group has criticized the arrangement, contending that industry guidelines call for fund-raisers to earn a flat fee. Doolittle contends his method is better because his wife gets paid only when she succeeds in raising money.

They were called to Goldsmith Road, Worthing, at around 7am today (Monday, October 22) when they used the Velux window as a way of getting to the injured lady.
The woman, in her 30s, was said to have suffered injuries to her pelvis, and firefighters said it was easier to rescue her through the roof than try to carry her downstairs.
She was taken to Worthing Hospital for treatment.

Barons storm back to force Game 7by Kyle Kujawa / Detroit Red Wings
|Griffins forward Luke Glendening crashes into Barons goalie Yann Danis following Jeff Hoggan's goal gave the Griffins a 3-2 lead in the second period of Tuesday's Game 6 in Grand Rapids. (Photo by Mark Newman/Grand Rapids Griffins)
GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. – The Oklahoma City Barons scored three times in the last 10:19 of the third period, including the tying and game-winning goals within the final 2:27, to shock the Grand Rapids Griffins with a 4-3 victory on Tuesday at Van Andel Arena, tying the Western Conference finals at three games apiece.
As a result, the Griffins will play just the fourth Game 7 in franchise history and the third on home ice on Wednesday, to determine who will face the Syracuse Crunch in the Calder Cup finals. Game time is 7 p.m., and tickets are available at griffinshockey.com.
The Barons' Mark Arcobello threaded a shot into the top corner of Petr Mrazek's net from the left circle during a 5-on-3 power play 13:54 into the opening period, scoring Oklahoma City's first goal since Game 3 and snapping its 0-for-19 drought with the man-advantage. That goal also broke Mrazek's shutout streak at 175:32 and ended his run of 109 consecutive saves.
Grand Rapids answered during its own two-man advantage with 1:21 left in the period. Nathan Paetsch fired a shot wide right of the net that slammed off the end boards, and Tomas Jurco was waiting along the goal line to grab the puck and quickly bank it off Yann Danis' back.
Mitch Callahan gave the Griffins the lead at 4:27 of the second, carrying the puck up the left side and into the Barons' zone before snapping a wicked wrister past Danis from the top of the circle. Jeff Hoggan then made it 3-1 with 1:29 remaining in the period on a very similar play, flinging a shot on goal from the left boards that seemed to surprise Danis and found the far corner.
Midway through the third, the visitors cut their deficit in half off a turnover in the Griffins' end, as Jonathan Cheechoo quickly fed Arcobello in the high slot for a shot that snuck past Mrazek at 9:41.
Jurco had an opportunity to restore the two-goal lead when he was awarded a penalty shot after being pulled down on a breakaway, but his try was denied by Danis' left pad at the 11:22 mark.
The Barons were down to the final three minutes of their season when they scored the equalizer, with Toni Rajala rushing in from the right side to pot a carom off the end boards that sat near the post at 17:33. Then with just 1:05 remaining, Oklahoma City scored the game-winner when Randy Jones' shot from the left half-wall was redirected over Mrazek's left shoulder by Anton Lander, stunning the crowd of 4,926.
Fittingly, the Griffins lost after leading by two goals in the third for the first time since a 7-5 defeat at Oklahoma City on Feb. 9, when they led 3-1 after two and 4-2 at the 5:17 mark of the third. The Barons, meanwhile, became the fourth team in AHL history to win three road elimination games in a single postseason. No team has won four times under such circumstances.
Mrazek made 26 saves in defeat while Danis turned aside 33 shots.
GAME NOTES: The Griffins fell to 10-13 all time and 3-9 at home when their opponent faces elimination.

Barnes & Noble wouldn't accept its own gift cards for ebook purchases, but thankfully, the outfit has come clean today to refute those claims. 'Course, it's possible that this change in policy was a direct result of all the bickering, but either way, the company will be accepting physical gift cards and online gift certificates as payment for ebooks really, really soon. The cards will work on purchases made at B&N's website and through the Nook itself (not to mention "other devices using the B&N eReader software), and we're told that the new policy will be in full effect come "mid-December." In other words, all those gift cards you just purchased as stocking stuffers for to-be Nook owners are good to go. Phew.
