series: Sesame Street
air date: 2/10/13 5:00 AM
Alan and Telly are very excited that their favorite singer, LMNOP, is performing on Sesame Street. Alan is arranging his memorabilia from previous concerts when LMNOP approaches asking where his entourage is. After a phone call, LMNOP finds out that they are in San Diego and says that his performance on Sesame Street will have to be canceled. But Alan and Telly insist that he doesn't leave. Chris reassures LMNOP that they could come up with everything he needs to perform. LMNOP agrees and says that the first thing he needs is a guitar. After learning about how to make one on the internet, Chris, Allen, and Telly are able to construct a guitar out of a paper towel tube, transparent tape, rubber bands, a pencil, and a tissue box. Chris explains that the pencil will help create sound by raising the rubber bands up off the box to make it easier for them to vibrate. LMNOP is ready to try the guitar out on stage but there is no stage. Chris, Allen, and Telly construct a stage out of vegetable crates reinforced with tape so the crates will stay together and be strong enough. It works! LMNOP jumps onto the stage and now asks for a sound check. Together they construct a microphone using lampshades. They will help amplify the sound and make it louder for the audience to hear. The last thing LMNOP needs is flashlights for lights and he's ready to perform! With help from Chris, Alan, and Telly, LMNOP gives a great performance on Sesame Street.

After a 911 call, a disastrous haircut, an alcoholic relapse, two Q-Tip-related emergencies and countless stalker-y emails and text messages, Adam and Hannah, the oddball couple at the center of "Girls," are finally back together.
Yay, I guess?
On Sunday night a season of "Girls" that had increasingly begun to feel like a premium-cable version of "My Strange Addiction" suddenly -- and not altogether convincingly -- morphed into a romantic comedy, complete with a sentimental and semi-absurd reunion that found Adam, bare-chested as usual, racing down the street to rescue his house-bound and unhinged ex. (In a sure sign of their compatability, Hannah eschews pants nearly as emphatically as Adam rejects shirts; together they make a whole outfit.)
After several weeks of free fall, our protagonist is more isolated and alone than ever. Cooped up in her apartment for days, wearing a filthy oversized T-shirt and subsisting on a diet of Cool Whip and nervous energy, Hannah fails to meet her book deadline and faces the threat of legal action from her publisher. Jessa, her sole remaining friend and only connection to the other characters in this series, is still M.I.A. And when Marnie stops by to check in on her and/or gloat about getting back together with Charlie, Hannah responds by hiding out on the far side of her bed, effectively ending their friendship forever.

Jan. 9, 2003
Tonight UCSB men's basketball takes on the Vandals of Idaho in an important game. After losing a heartbreaker to Fullerton last week, the Gauchos (4-8) look to rebound and continue their drive through Big West play. The game will be played at Idaho's Cowan Spectrum and will be broadcast on KEYT 1250.
UCSB Probable Starting Lineup:
Santa Barbara eagerly looks forward to the return of their leading scorer Branduinn Fullove. Tonight he should be back in the starting lineup after missing two games due to an injured groin. Fullove is netting 16.1 points per game, leading UCSB. He boasts a .489 shooting percentage from outside the three-point line and has connected on 73% of his free throws. Joining Fullove in the backcourt will be Jacoby Atako and Nick Jones. Atako will run the point for the Gauchos where he has accumulated a team-high 40 assists. He is shooting 75% from the free-throw line and has only turned the ball over 26 times. Atako leads the team in steals as well with 13 on the season. Jones has been a solid all-around threat for Santa Barbara. He is third on the team in scoring at 14.1 points per game and still leads the team in rebounding. Additionally, Jones is a spark on the floor, always playing with extreme amounts of energy. At the forward spots for UCSB will likely be Mark Hull and Casey Cook. Hull is second on the team in scoring at just above 14 points per game, despite being the focal point of opponent's defense in many outings. Hull is coming off a great game against Fullerton in which he scored 21 points and sunk five three-point baskets. Cook will likely get the start at the other block as his minutes increase as the season moves forward. Cook is averaging 4.8 points per game and is second on the team in steals with eight. If Cook is out of the starting line-up look for Bryan Whitehead to be in his place. Whitehead is third on the team with 41 rebounds and is scoring three points per game.
Idaho Probable Starting Lineup:
The Vandals will take on the Gauchos with Justin Logan and Sam Jackson at the guard positions. Logan, a 6'0" senior guard, is averaging 6.5 points per game and leads the team with 34 assists. He is shooing 33% from the field and has accumulated 13 steals. Jackson is averaging three points a night and has only started one game. The Vandals also feature Dwayne Williams at the guard spot and he may start against the Gauchos. He is averaging 9.2 points per game and has connected on 22 of 67 three-pointers. At the forward position Idaho will start Tyrone Hayes, Jon Tinnon, and Rashaad Powell. Hayes is the leading scorer for the Vandals averaging 13.9 points per game. He has nailed half of his three-pointers and 75% of his free throws. He is also leading the team in rebounding with seven boards per game and has blocked a total of 21 shots on the year. Tinnon is scoring 9.4 points per night and leads the team with a 52% field goal percentage. He is also grabbing 5.2 rebounds per game for the Vandals. Rounding out the starting five will be Powell, who is averaging 4.5 points per game and 4.3 rebounds.
Scouting the Vandals:
Santa Barbara leads the series with the Vandals 8-5, and Idaho coach Leonard Perry knows that tonight's game will be no easy task. Much like UCSB, the Vandals have had a bit of trouble maintaining concentration throughout some of their games, and playing hard for the full 40 minutes. If the Gauchos can get to Idaho quick, this may become a factor. Other then that, the main thing Santa Barbara needs to worry about is Tyrone Hayes. Hayes has notched three double-doubles on the season and has scored in double figures a total of nine times. As a team, the Vandals rank No.1 in the Big West in three-point defense and rebounding, so UCSB will have to work extra hard to get open looks from outside and everyone will have to crash the boards hard if they want to stay in the game. Where Idaho is vulnerable is at the free-throw line, they rank ninth in the Big West. Likely the Gauchos will be more generous with the fouls if it means that the Vandals won't take advantage of their free opportunities. Lastly, Idaho has a -2.18 turnover margin, also ninth in the Big West, so look for UCSB to keep the pressure on them in hopes of creating turnovers throughout the game.
Scouting the Gauchos:
The Gauchos should benefit greatly from the return of Branduinn Fullove. With Fullove back, Nick Jones and Mark Hull will be freed up to take more shots and contribute to the offense. Also, they won't have the burden of being the only experienced scorers on the floor. Fullove will contribute at least four more three-point attempts for the Gauchos which will make their offense much more potent from outside. As for the play down low, Casey Cook and Bryan Whitehead had great games against UC Riverside but then fell back a bit against Fullerton. Hopefully they will be able to remember what enabled them to play well against the highlanders and repeat it. Both need to crash the boards and put in the open shots they get.
Key Match-up:
The Vandals' most consistent player this season has been Tyrone Hayes, the 6'4" guard/forward from Georgia. He has done a significant amount of scoring and seems to be the main playmaker for Idaho. Likely Coach Williams will attack him with a couple of players including Nick Jones to start the game. When Jones is out, freshman guard Cecil Brown may see time guarding Hayes, and freshman Josh Davis might as well. The battle that will ensue between these players will be a key match-up throughout the game.
What to look for:
Look for the Gauchos to rebound after a frustrating loss to Fullerton. There is a good chance Santa Barbara took a long look in the mirror after that game and will now rebound with renewed intensity. Plan on the Gauchos trying to outrun the Vandals and count on seeing many three-point shots. Also, if Fullove is able to play, look for him to increase the Gaucho offense significantly by scoring and creating for his teammates.

Russell Crowe has responded to Adam Lambert's criticism of the live vocal performances in Les Miserables.
Lambert expressed disappointment with director Tom Hooper's decision to have actors sing live for their scenes in the hit musical in a series of posts on his Twitter account.
He said the score "suffered massively" because great actors were pretending to be singers.
Film bosses should have studio recorded and sweetened their vocals, he said.
"I felt like I should ignore the vocals and focus on the emotional subtext - but the singing was so distracting at times it pulled me out.
"The industry will say 'these actors were so brave to attempt singing this score live' but why not cast actors who could actually sound good?"
Only Anne Hathaway was singled out for praise, with Lambert saying the movie was worth seeing anyway for her "breathtaking" performance as the dying prostitute Fantine.
Crowe, who plays Inspector Javert in the film, was alerted to the rant by one of his followers on Twitter.
The notoriously fiery New Zealand-born actor held back and gave a measured response.
"I don't disagree with Adam, sure it could have been sweetened, Hooper wanted it raw and real, that's how it is," he said.

To answer my own question, the way I was able to get around it was to do the following:
In the extension's registerScripts function, comment out everything except the last two lines of the function (keep just this:
$cs = Yii::app()->clientScript; $cs->registerScript($id, $embeddedScript, CClientScript::POS_LOAD);
Create a snippet PHP file called application.components.HighchartsSnippet with just the following:
<?php $basePath = Yii::app()->basePath . DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR . 'extensions/highcharts/assets' . DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR; $baseUrl = Yii::app()->getAssetManager()->publish($basePath, false, 1, YII_DEBUG); $scriptFile = YII_DEBUG ? '/highcharts.src.js' : '/highcharts.js'; $cs = Yii::app()->clientScript; $cs->registerCoreScript('jquery'); $cs->registerScriptFile($baseUrl . $scriptFile);
On the PARENT view page of whenever you use Highcharts, insert the following line:
Yii::import('application.components.HighchartsSnippet', true);
Do not use that import on any of the view files that call the Highcharts widget. JUST the parent (or just the main view). That ensures the Highcharts library is only ever loaded once.
Kludgy, but it works for now until perhaps there's a fix in the widget itself that checks for the existence of the chart object before re-registering it.

Nina Anderson Mecham, 85
Nina Anderson Mecham, 85, of Blackfoot, Idaho passed away Saturday, March 12, 2011 at the Willows in Blackfoot.
Nina was born on May 20, 1925 in Goshen, Idaho to Andrew Christian Anderson and Clara Marie Jensen. She attended schools in Shelley, Thomas, Moreland and graduated from Blackfoot in 1943. Later she attended Business College in Pocatello. She lived in Goshen, Shelley, Riverton, Thomas, Riverside, Blackfoot and Pingree.
On March 20, 1944 Nina married Alvin John Mecham in the Salt Lake LDS Temple. They were later divorced.
Nina was a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. She had many callings in Primary, including President, as a Cub Scout Leader, MIA Advisor, Visiting Teacher and a Relief Society Teacher for many years. She enjoyed her callings and always served faithfully.
She was also a member of the Lady Wool Growers and a 4-H Sewing Leader for many years.
Nina had many jobs out of the home, but being a mother was her favorite. Her first paying job, before she was married, was at Howles Creamery and at Hale Drug Store. Later she had several jobs in Blackfoot beginning at The Merc, FRISPO Manufacturing, Sew Ciety Fabric and Blocks. When Blocks closed, she did bookkeeping for Melina's and Bob's Sheet Metal. Along with these jobs she kept a busy and full schedule with her home, family and the family farm. In her free time, reading was her relaxation. She could travel and do all that she desired with a good book. She loved to sew and she could make anything. She enjoyed organizing, emceeing and modeling in fashion shows. She loved to garden and always said "that a little dirt under her fingernails was good therapy". She also enjoyed making her country home a little bit of Heaven on Earth. Her greatest enjoyment was her family, grandchildren and great grandchildren. She liked things to be "Peaceful!" She will be lovingly missed by those whose lives she touched.

What is it All Worth?
"It's amazing how many people really need our data," Saatchi notes. "I've been getting bombarded by emails from people who want these maps."
Kellndorfer's inbox is full, too. Hundreds of ecologists, forest managers, academic scientists, city planners, land conservation groups, timber companies, climate modelers, civil engineers, biologists, and fish and game managers have sought maps on an almost daily basis. More are likely to come as international negotiators move closer to treaties and economic markets for managing carbon emissions and storage.
"The work we're doing can help put an economic value on forests," says Goddard's Doug Morton. "Policymakers and economists want to know forest carbon stocks at very fine spatial scales, and countries naturally need to improve their assessment of stocks to participate in a forest carbon market. This is a high-stakes game in the policy realm."
Developing countries are taking stock of the carbon in their forests as part of an effort in climate change mitigation called Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Degradation, or REDD+. Scientific partners from the United States and Europe are often called on for technological assistance.
"Carbon trading markets are going to be partly based on selling credits for forests," says Running. "If there is going to be billions of dollars in carbon trading, then knowing where the carbon is and how much of it there is takes on huge political and economic importance. We need a coordinated, global monitoring plan in order to make it legitimate."

A recently released Pew Research Center study reports 23% of Americans, ages 16 and older, have read an e-book in the past year, up from 16% the year before. Those who read a print book dropped from 72% to 67%. Overall book readers, no matter the format, remained about the same at about 75% of the population.
Not surprisingly, there has also been an increase in ownership of e-book reading devices; 25% of those 16 and older own a tablet computer, 19% an e-book reading device.
Also not surprisingly, e-book borrowing from public libraries has increased too….from 3% last year to 5% this year.
Here at KPL we have had a whooping increase in e-book circulation: 3,593 in 2010 / 11 to 17,369 in 2011/12. That's an increase of 383%!
The titles available to download through our website have increased substantially too. We purchase copies of popular titles just for KPL cardholders in addition to those available through the Midwest Collaborative for Library Services. Nevertheless, the choices are limited because many publishers do not allow libraries to purchase digital copies to loan to cardholders.
The American Library Association is challenging publishers to include libraries in their service model. So far, most publishers are not willing to do so.

Curious what the schedule has in store for the Eagles? Here's a game-by-game breakdown of what's ahead. The Giants and the Falcons are the only two teams that currently have a winning record, although there are still enough dangerous opponents to cause concern:
vs. Atlanta, Oct. 28, 1 p.m.
The pressure will be on Reid and Vick when the Eagles host the only undefeated team remaining in the NFL. Reid is 13-0 after bye weeks, an impressive statistic that will be challenged in Bowles' first game as defensive coordinator. It's also another chance for Vick to face his former team and try to outplay Penn Charter alum Matt Ryan, who replaced Vick as Atlanta's franchise player.
at New Orleans, Nov. 5, 8:30 p.m.
The Saints have been a bigger disappointment than the Eagles this season, yet they remain a scary matchup – especially in New Orleans on a Monday night. This game will be a challenge for the Eagles. The Saints are healthier and will be energized by the returns of interim coach Joe Vitt and linebacker Jonathan Vilma. The Eagles will be fortunate to be 4-4 after this game – whether it's a win or a loss.
vs. Dallas, Nov. 11, 4:25 p.m.
The NFC East games are critical for the Eagles, and the first meeting against the Cowboys will be the Eagles' first foray into divisional contests since the Sept. 30 win over the Giants. A victory over the Cowboys would keep the Eagles undefeated in the division, while a loss could be an ominous sign for a team that plays three of their next four games on the road.
at Washington, Nov. 18, 1:00 p.m.
This will be the Eagles' first encounter with Robert Griffin III, a player whose combination of world-class speed and strong arm hasn't been seen since Michael Vick entered the league with the Falcons. The Eagles have won three consecutive road games against the Redskins, although Washington hasn't had a quarterback as dynamic as RG3 before.
vs. Carolina, Nov. 26, 8:30 p.m.
The Eagles encounter a mobile quarterback for the second consecutive week. Panthers quarter Cam Newton will challenge Bowles, especially because Carolina does not play a conventional offense. This will also be the first game between Reid and former Eagles assistant Ron Rivera, who is now the Panthers' head coach. Carolina's defensive coordinator is former Philadelphia defensive coordinator Sean McDermott, creating even more storylines.
at Dallas, Dec. 2, 8:20
The Eagles must visit Dallas on a short week, which will not be an easy task. After playing the Cowboys just three weeks earlier, there will be familiarity between the teams and the schemes. Both Reid and Cowboys coach Jason Garrett could be fighting to keep their jobs, too, which would even more intrigue to this matchup.
at Tampa Bay, Dec. 9, 1:00 p.m.
A relatively soft stretch in the Eagles' schedule begins against the Buccaneers. If the Eagles hope to make the playoffs, these final four games will be critical. Tampa Bay has been inconsistent this season under new coach Greg Schiano. This is the type of game Reid cannot afford to lose.
vs. Cincinnati, Dec. 13, 8:20 p.m.
Last season, the Eagles needed to travel across the country to Seattle for a Thursday night game. This season, the Eagles benefit from being able to play the Thursday night game at home. Teams have been able to go on the road and win on Thursdays this season, so this isn't a surefire victory, but it's certainly a winnable game for the Eagles.
vs. Washington, Dec. 23, 1 p.m.
The final home game of the season might be the final home game of the Reid era. The result of the game could also be a factor. If the Eagles hope to make the postseason, it helps to beat the Redskins at home.
at New York Giants, Dec. 30, 1 p.m.
What better way to end the season than a visit to the Meadowlands, the site of so many memorable Eagles games and so many moments in Andy Reid's career? This game could be pivotal if the Eagles hope to win the division and make the postseason. If they don't, this could be the final time Eagles fans cheer (or boo) a Reid-coached Philadelphia team.

We've all known some pretty weird people. Heck, you might even be a pretty weird person yourself. And while the definition of "weird" differs from person to person, there are certain universal truths that we all subscribe to. Like it is "weird" to wear underwear on your head, or it is "weird" to accuse the blood bank of being managed by vampires running a plasma Ponzi scheme.
Well everybody, we feel that this… thing, found by a Reddit reader, defines the word "weird." .
What we have here is what looks to be a mid-90's pickup truck plastered with body kits from the Camaro and Corvette, with a healthy dose of randomly-placed roof, tailgate, and body panel spoilers and "aero improvements." That front end is unmistakably that of a 5th-gen Camaro, and the rear fascia can only have come from a C5 Corvette, though the odd spacing of the taillights indicates it's been sectioned and widened.
Now let's talk spoilers, because there are a whole bunch here, on the roof as well as the tailgate. We're not sure if the side strakes should count as spoilers or a bodykit, but we do know that that massive hood scoop has got to be seriously affecting aerodynamic drag. This vehicle defines weird. So, is this a half-finished project, something done on a dare, or just hilariously bad taste? And what the hell do you call it? A CamVette-a-Mino? A Cormaro Pickup? You tell us.

Coles signs up for Office 365
Down, down, staff administration costs are down, for 100,000 staff
Insistently non-rapacious supermarket chain Coles has become the latest company to sign off on a press release declaring it has adopted Microsoft's cloudy productivity suite Office 365.
The chain's buy doesn't seem to be a "we found a company of knowledge workers that wants to do everything in the browser and beat Google to the deal" kind of deal.
Instead, Coles is using Office 365 as a way to access its staff self-service portal, which is powered by SharePoint and billed as allowing the company to " ...automate many functions that previously required team members to be on-site such as holiday requests and approvals. The Coles portal can be personalised to encourage interaction across the workforce while giving everyone 24/7 access to pay slips, rosters, holiday calendars, team member special offers, training, blogs and corporate social networking."
"Office 365 will provide our employees with a digital identity with security protection that gives them the ability to create and share ideas and learnings in a less structured way wherever they choose", Conrad Harvey, the IT Group General Manager at Coles Australia, says in Microsoft's release. "For Coles, the Microsoft Cloud was the only choice for such a progressive project of this scale. It integrates with our existing on premise environment and its familiar interface will ensure our team members can interact easily with the new platform." ®

(SportsNetwork.com) - After ending a five-game losing streak their last time out the New York Islanders will aim for a second straight win when they host the Calgary Flames on Thursday at Nassau Coliseum.
The Islanders were suffering through an 0-4-1 slide before recording Tuesday's 1-0 victory in Washington. Andrew MacDonald scored the only goal of the game early in the third period to give the Isles their first win since beating the rival New York Rangers on Jan. 21.
Evgeni Nabokov stopped all 22 shots he faced for his second shutout of the season. Nabokov helped the Isles kill off six Washington power-play chances in the game. New York went 0-for-5 with the man advantage.
"It's a good win for our team," said Islanders coach Jack Capuano. "We're a desperate team and I thought our guys worked hard tonight right from the start. I thought we defended real well, we were structured tonight and guys played hard."
Despite the win, the Isles still face an uphill battle to make the playoffs. The club is currently 14th out of 16 teams in the Eastern Conference and 10 points out of a postseason berth.
New York is kicking off a five-game homestand on Thursday, although the club will only get to play the first two portions of the residency before the NHL goes on its break for the Winter Olympics.
The Isles, who are 8-12-8 as the host, will welcome Colorado on Saturday in their final test before the two-week hiatus.
Calgary also has two games left on its pre-Olympics schedule and both are on the road. After posting a perfect 5-0 mark on a homestand, the Flames began a three-game road trip on Tuesday in Montreal and lost a 2-0 decision. It was Calgary's fourth loss in a row on the road, dropping the club to 9-14-4 as the guest this season.
The Flames, who were coming off sweeping their first five-game homestand since Feb. 7-15, 1997, were unable to solve Carey Price on Tuesday despite firing 27 shots at the Canadiens goaltender.
After the teams combined for just nine shots in a scoreless first frame, the Flames found themselves with a 5-on-3 under five minutes into the second, but Calgary couldn't capitalize, as Price turned away all comers to keep the visitors off the board. Rene Bourque would later score with 3:45 left in the second period to give Montreal a 1-0 lead and the game's only other goal was an empty-netter from David Desharnais in the closing seconds of regulation.
"The turning point in the game was our 5-on-3 power play," Calgary head coach Bob Hartley said. "If we score, it's a different game. We had a few good chances, but Price came up with some big saves."
Reto Berra, starting between the pipes for the Flames in place of an injured Karri Ramo, stopped 25-of-26 shots in the setback. Ramo won't be able to play again before the Olympic break and Berra expects to get another start tonight.
The Isles have fared very well against the Flames in recent years, winning three straight and five of the last six encounters in this series. New York has claimed the last three meetings on Long Island, including the most recent matchup on Dec. 29, 2011.

Debate Team Performance Steadily Climbing as Season Cranks Up
Feb. 8, 2013
Now in the heart of competition season, the UT Dallas debate team has steadily improved with each tournament.
Most recently, the team competed at Wichita State University, where freshman Jacob Loehr and sophomore Samantha Varney won six of seven of their debates in the preliminary rounds.
Jacob Loehr
Samantha Varney
"Jacob and I work very well together as a team. I think our strengths and weaknesses complement each other's. It's great to be on a team with someone that you're also friends with," said Varney, who is studying accounting.
Varney was ranked as the 10th overall speaker, and Loehr was named sixth. Together the duo was named fourth seed going into the elimination rounds.
The team went on to defeat the University of Missouri, Kansas City, and then the University of Texas, Austin, but the team lost to the University of North Texas in the semi-finals.
"I was the only freshman in the semi-finals, which is both exciting and frightening," said Loehr. "The UT Dallas coaching staff has done a wonderful job helping with my transition from high school debate to college competition. This year has helped me establish a routine for improving my work ethic and speaking skills. I'm hoping to use this as a method for consistently improving my performance at upcoming tournaments."
The team of Loehr and Varney also competed in January at the 10th annual Texas Two-Step held at UT Dallas and The University of North Texas (UNT). There were more than 120 competitors at the tournament, making it the third largest invitational event of the season.
During the part of the competition held at UT Dallas, the Comets won four of six, advancing to the elimination rounds. The team's run ended with a loss to Baylor University. During the second half of the tournament held at UNT, the team was 12th seed overall after the preliminary rounds and advanced as one of the remaining 16 teams, but was stopped by Trinity University.
"It's another strong showing for our young team. We've been improving and working hard and the results are starting to reflect that," said Scott Herndon, debate program director.
UT Dallas will compete next at Northwestern University.

Dover, DE (SportsNetwork.com) - Kyle Busch's hopes of winning all three of NASCAR's national touring series races at Dover International Speedway this weekend came to an abrupt end due to an accident in the early going of Sunday's 400-mile Sprint Cup Series race.
On lap 125, Clint Bowyer bumped into Busch while the two were battling for position. Busch then slammed into the wall, causing damage to the right-front of his No. 18 Joe Gibbs Racing Toyota. Both drivers were running in the top- five at the time of the incident.
During the caution, Busch chased down Bowyer in what appeared to be some sort of retaliation, but Busch's crew chief, Dave Rogers, instructed him over his team radio to back away from Bowyer. Busch then headed to the garage. He did not comment on the incident, as he quickly walked to his hauler.
Busch started second but pulled ahead of pole sitter Brad Keselowski on the opening lap and then led the first 81 laps around this one-mile, concrete- surfaced track before Jimmie Johnson moved to the front.
After leading the 28th lap, Busch became the 15th driver in the history of NASCAR's premier series with 10,000 career laps led.
Busch won the 200-mile Camping World Truck Series race at Dover on Friday and scored the victory in the 200-mile Nationwide Series event here on Saturday. Had Busch taken the checkered flag for the Sprint Cup race, it would have been the second time in his career that he won all three NASCAR events at a track on the same week. He became the first driver in the history of the sport to accomplish that feat in August 2010 at Bristol Motor Speedway.

Join Los Angeles News Group City Editor Harrison Sheppard and reporters Susan Abram and Tracy Manzer in a live chat Monday at 11 a.m. to discuss this report.
The Catholic Church
Father Nicholas Aguilar Rivera
Father Michael Baker
Father Michael Wempe
Father James M. Ford
Father Michael Daniel Buckley
Father Santiago Tamayo
Monsignor Benjamin Hawkes
Father Lynn R. Caffoe
Thousands of pages of court documents show how the Archdiocese of Los Angeles for decades knowingly shielded more than a dozen priests suspected of child sex abuse.
A Los Angeles News Group special report offers an in-depth look into how and when the church knew about the abuse and chose instead to move accused priests from parish to parish, even allowing the most abusive to move out of the country.
Church officials in some cases tried to get priests into therapy, but at the same time took steps to keep the horrific accusations from ever surfacing or being reported to authorities. Victims and their families pleaded for justice, only to fall on deaf ears. This report details the depth of secrecy and covert actions taken by top church officials to keep the accusations in the shadows.
In the decades since, archdioceses everywhere have taken steps to recognize and stop such abuse from happening again.
In the meantime, victims feel the weight and still live in the shadow of abuse.
Cardinal Roger Mahony squarely at the center of the sex-abuse scandal
- "We must realize that Christ came as the son of God not only to spend his time in the synagogue, but also to involve himself in the daily life of the people," he said in an interview at the time.
"We as his disciples must realize the Gospel must speak to actual, current situations."
For Mahony, those situations would include complaints that scores of his priests were abusing children - altar boys, students in parochial schools, sons and daughters of their parishioners.
Church emerges with widespread reforms
- It's been more than 10 years since the Catholic Church faced the pinnacle of its sex abuse scandal, one which many refer to as the church's greatest crisis since the Reformation.
In this last decade, church leaders and members say, they have had to come to terms with feelings of anger, confusion and shame over the dark history of child molestation and the cover-up.
Father Nicholas Aguilar Rivera: Accused of molesting 13 youngsters in nine-month term in L.A.
- What transpired in the predominantly Latino congregation in East L.A., and at nearby St. Agatha's Church, is at the heart of a suit that led to the release last week of thousands of pages of personnel documents.
A 35-year-old man who says he was molested by the priest as a youth claims church leaders knew Aguilar Rivera was a pedophile when they assigned him to the two local parishes and that they knowingly concealed his misdeeds.
Father Michael Baker was accused of molesting 23 youngsters
- In a scandal that implicated dozens of priests in the Los Angeles Archdiocese, the case of Father Michael Baker is the one that Cardinal Roger Mahony has said troubles him the most.
An energetic priest who was popular with the young people in his congregations, Baker confided to Mahony during a spiritual retreat in late December 1986 that he'd molested two young boys from 1978-85.
Father Michael Wempe: Tears at his own trial
- Retired priest Michael Wempe cried during his 2006 molestation trial as witness after witness testified how his sexual abuse of them had damaged them for life.
But files released last week reveal his efforts and those of church officials to shield Wempe from the law.
Father James M. Ford: In 45 years with the church, alleged abuse dates back to 1968
- Father James M. Ford's career in the Los Angeles Archdiocese didn't end until 2005, though he faced questions back to the early 1980s about inappropriate contact with male students and was known to have had an affair with a former seminary student who died of AIDS, according to his personnel files.
Father Matthew Michael Sprouffske: History of abuse began before his ordination
- It took 30 years for the victim of Father Matthew Michael Sprouffske to work up the courage to confront her abuser, and the Archdiocese of Los Angeles.
It was 1986 when the woman penned two eloquent and powerful missives, one to Sprouffske and one to Monsignor John Rawden, an archdiocese official, and she spoke plainly about the abuse she suffered from the age of about 4 until 16.
Father Michael Daniel Buckley: Suspended nearly 30 years after the first allegations
- In the case of Father Michael Daniel Buckley, the signs of abuse were there as early as 1965.
That was the year parents of children at Immaculate Conception Church in Monrovia sent two letters to then-Bishop Timothy Manning demanding Buckley's removal due to "grave moral reasons" and threatening to picket if their demands were not met.
Father Santiago Tamayo one of a group of priests that assaulted teen girl
- The case files of Father Santiago Tamayo and Father Angel Cruces read like lurid dime-store novels.
Appropriately enough, the tales of how Tamayo, Cruces and five other priests sexually assaulted a 16-year-old girl were fodder for the tabloids in the 1980s, which dubbed it "Snow White and the Seven Priests."
Monsignor Benjamin Hawkes: Too powerful to cross
- After washing his hands and asking the Lord to cleanse him of his sins, Monsignor Benjamin Hawkes turned to an altar boy and winked.
Hawkes would do this during Sunday Mass, just before serving Holy Communion.
Father Lynn R. Caffoe: Church took 30 years to dismiss him after first allegations
- In a 2004 letter to the Vatican, Cardinal Roger Mahony revealed that a priest within the Los Angeles Archdiocese was a danger to children and must be dismissed.
"(Father) Caffoe has not truly resolved his inner anger and sexual tension, so that he remains a real threat to minors. This is confirmed by his subsequent behavior," Mahony wrote to then-Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger, who is now Pope Benedict XVI.
Father Eleutorio Ramos: Transferred 15 times in two decades because of reports of sexual abuse
- Father Eleutorio Ramos admitted to police in Orange County that he had molested at least 25 boys over the span of a decade. It was, according to published reports, the largest single admission of child abuse in the history of the Orange County diocese
Monsignor Peter E. Garcia: Preyed on illegal immigrant boys
- Among the various priests accused over the years of sexual abuse, Monsignor Peter E. Garcia seemed to have a specialty.
Garcia's victims - he confessed at one point to having 20 - were primarily young undocumented immigrants, a quality that made their families less likely to prosecute.
Father Cristobal Garcia: Priest fled to the Philippines and rose in the Church
- Father Vincent Serpa, pastor of St. Dominic Catholic Church in Eagle Rock, knew he had a problem with Father Cristobal Garcia.
He just didn't know how big.
Father Fidencio Silva: Twenty-nine altar boys claimed he molested them
- When Father Fidencio Silva first appeared at Oxnard's Our Lady of Guadalupe Catholic Church in 1979, he was young, good-looking and charismatic.
He was apparently also far too chummy with some of the 60 altar boys in his charge. He would eventually be accused of molesting more than two dozen of them.
Father Larry Lovell: Serving a prison sentence
- Whatever church Father Larry Lovell passed through, he left abused children and sickened parents in his wake.
The defrocked Claretian priest, convicted of sexually molesting boys at two Arizona parishes in the 1970s and '80s, is now serving a 26-year combined prison sentence.

Teamlist Tuesday is here with #NRL Teamlists and officials for Round 12 confirmed.
Head to bit.ly/L...
17 hours ago
The North Queensland Toyota Cowboys' dedication to the North Queensland community has been formally recognised tonight, with the club honoured with the title of 2010 Telstra One Community NRL Club of the Year.
The award recognises and rewards the NRL club that has implemented an outstanding community program throughout 2010 and was presented to the Cowboys as the leader in its community initiatives from 16 clubs.
The Cowboys were crowned the Community Club of the Year at the fourth annual One Community Awards at Sydney's Town Hall, after investing a total of 2,465 hours in the North Queensland community and dedicating 1,340 hours to special appearances in 2010.
The Cowboys' signature community programs include Adopt-a-School, Cowboys Community Fund, Cowboys in the Classroom, Field of Dreams, Obe Geia Challenge and Community Corner.
Through these programs, the Cowboys have helped organisations working to improve the lives of North Queenslanders, including Camp Quality, CanTeen, Make-a-Wish Australia, Australian Red Cross Blood Service, Just 4 Kids and AEIOU, among others.
The club has also developed strategic community partnerships with organisations including Royal Queensland Bush Children's Health Scheme, YWAM Medical Ships, PCYC Cloncurry, CANEGROWERS and the Northern Territory Government.
In addition to their structured community programs and partnerships, the Cowboys maintain a community requests program that received almost 4,000 requests from community organisations and individuals seeking support over the past year.
Cowboys Community Relations Manager Fiona Pelling was at the ceremony to accept the award.

BOLINGBROOK — It was a familiar story for Bolingbrook's girls soccer team.
The defense was stellar, but the offense couldn't find the back of the net in a 1-0 penalty-kick loss to Lincoln-Way East Monday night.
"We played well but we just didn't have a lot of finishing chances," coach Martin Uscila said. "I thought we controlled the game pretty well. Our midfielders did a good job controlling the game, but their goalkeeper only had to make two saves."
Striker Rachel Schneider went down to a season-ending knee injury earlier this month, and since then the Raiders (9-4-3 overall, 1-1 SouthWest Suburban Blue) had been trying to find the finishing formula. Melissa Verdin, a junior who started the year at midfield, has been playing striker since then.
Complicating things has been a slew of injuries that have affected the depth at Uscila's disposal. Carolyne Rodriguez suffered a season-ending knee injury, and on Monday, Sophia Sychowski left the game and will miss at least a week.
"One of our strengths was the depth we had," Uscila said. "We started the season with 18 players and the plan was all 18 would play. Now I'm down to four subs."
Bolingbrook travels to face Sandburg at 6:15 p.m. Wednesday and takes on another SWSB contender when it welcomes Lockport at 4:30 p.m. Tuesday. A date with another conference heavy-hitter, Homewood-Flossmoor, awaits. Despite the injuries and the offensive struggles, Uscila expects the Raiders to continue competing.
"We're running the gauntlet, but I could see us winning all three of those games," Uscila said. "We're still playing competitive soccer and doing good things out there. Our defense is really doing well and keeping us in games, we're just trying to figure it out offensively."

It seems we now have lemon laws for our children as well as our cars...
A jury in Portland, Ore., awarded a couple $2.9 million dollars on Friday for the "wrongful birth" of their daughter who has Down syndrome.
Kalanit Levy was born in June of 2007 to Ariel and Deborah Levy, after prenatal testing did not reveal any abnormalities.
The Levys' attorney said Dr. Thomas Jenkins removed maternal tissue instead of the fetal tissue from Deborah Levy's womb which resulted in faulty test readings. The suit also faults the medical center for reassuring Deborah Levy that her baby didn't have an extra 21st chromosome.
The couple says they would have had an abortion had the test been done properly and they had known about the Down syndrome.
It wasn't until a few days after Kalanit's birth that a blood test confirmed that the little girl had the genetic disorder. And now, four years later, the Levys are suing the hospital to pay for the extra costs of caring for their daughter.
The Levys said in the suit that they worry about future medical problems and their daughter's ability to interact with others. They have been told by experts that Kalanit will most likely not be able to live on her.

Texas' Nelson Cruz homered and the Rangers got consecutive two-run doubles from Adrian Beltre and A.J. Pierzynski, as they beat the New York Yankees 8-5 on Wednesday to maintain a share of the American League West lead.
Texas kept pace with Oakland, who had a shutout win over Cincinnati, while the Yankees lost ground in the AL East race, falling 3.5 games behind Boston, who beat Colorado.
Elsewhere, Cleveland scored twice in the ninth inning to edge Baltimore, Pittsburgh also left it late to down Seattle, Kansas City edged Atlanta in 10 innings and Toronto's R.A. Dickey pitched a shutout against Tampa Bay.
Texas rookie Justin Grimm (7-5) allowed three runs in five-plus innings to guide the Rangers to victory, getting the better of Yankees veteran Andy Pettitte (5-6), who dropped his third straight start.
Oakland matched stride with Texas atop the AL West as A.J. Griffin shut out Cincinnati in his first career complete game, steering the Athletics to a 5-0 win.
Griffin (6-6) struck out seven and allowed only two hits in a 108-pitch gem, while Josh Donaldson hit a three-run homer for Oakland.
Boston edged further clear of the Yankees with a 5-3 win over Colorado.
Red Sox starter John Lackey (5-5) gave up two runs, no hits and struck out a season-high 12 over seven strong innings, while Daniel Nava drove in two runs for Boston.
Colorado got two solo homers from Michael Cuddyer, who extended his hitting streak to 23 games to match Dante Bichette's club record set in 1995.
Cleveland's Scott Kazmir took a no-hitter into the seventh to set up the Indians' 4-3 win over Baltimore.
Kazmir gave up one unearned run in seven innings, but left before throwing a pitch in the eighth due to an apparent injury.
Baltimore promptly scored twice to take a 3-2 lead, but the Indians rallied against Jim Johnson (2-6) in the ninth.
After a lead-off walk, Jason Giambi hit his 400th career double. An intentional walk loaded the bases for Lonnie Chisenhall, who hit into a run-scoring fielder's choice, and Drew Stubbs also hit into a fielder's choice to bring home pinch-runner Mike Aviles.
Pittsburgh's Jordy Mercer hit a go-ahead single with two outs in the ninth inning, leading the Pirates to a 4-2 win over Seattle.
The Pirates (48-30) moved 18 games over .500 for the first time since 1992, their last season with more wins than losses.
Mercer put the Pirates in front with his clutch hit and Travis Snider scored on a wild pitch to pad the lead.
Kansas City's Alex Gordon drove in David Lough in the 10th inning, giving the Royals a 4-3 win over Atlanta.
Lough singled to start the 10th and then reached second on Miguel Tejada's bunt. That set the stage for Gordon, who hit a solo home run earlier in the game. He dropped a base hit into shallow left field, allowing Lough to score easily.
In Toronto, Dickey pitched his first complete game for the Blue Jays, guiding the hosts to a 3-0 win over Tampa Bay.
Dickey (7-8) retired his first 13 batters to produce his first shutout for Toronto, after moving from the Mets at the end of last season.
Washington's Jordan Zimmermann dominated after a shaky start to guide the Nationals to a 3-2 win over Arizona.
Houston's Erik Bedard pitched six effective innings and the Astros used a four-run fourth inning to beat St Louis 4-3.
San Diego second baseman Logan Forsythe bobbled a groundball in the 13th inning and then threw home wildly, leading to two runs that gave Philadelphia a 7-5 win.

Hamilton has Rangers in holding pattern
By T.R. Sullivan /12/04/12 9:54 PM ET
NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- Free-agent outfielder Josh Hamilton has the Rangers in a holding pattern at the Winter Meetings. As day turned into night at the Opryland Resort on Tuesday, general manager Jon Daniels said that he has neither spoken nor met with Hamilton's agent, Mike Moye.
"I haven't had any dialogue with him since yesterday," said Daniels before heading off with club president Nolan Ryan and co-owner Ray Davis to the Minor League affiliates dinner.
Daniels did say that he expects to meet with Moye either late Tuesday night or possibly on Wednesday, but right now the Rangers are operating under the assumption that Hamilton is still testing the market and talking with other clubs. The Rangers expect that Hamilton will come back to them at some point before deciding where he'll play next year.
"We haven't had that conversation yet," Daniels said. "It's where it has been all along. Josh is going through his process, and we're maintaining dialogue and interest. That's where it stands right now."
The fact that Moye and the Rangers have not had a conversation suggests that multiple teams are interested in Hamilton -- who has been in Nashville since Sunday -- despite denials across the board.
"A free agent that hits 40 home runs certainly has interest from other clubs," Daniels said. "That's what you expect in free agency."
The Rangers are also maintaining interest in free-agent pitcher Zack Greinke, but they are not optimistic they can get a deal done. Greinke is also taking his time making a decision, and the Dodgers are still viewed as the favorites.
As one Rangers official said, "The Dodgers are probably going to blow us away on that one."
The Rangers are actively looking for starting pitching, with Greinke at the top of their free-agent list, and they could also end up trading for a starter. They have talked with the Mets about National League Cy Young Award winner R.A. Dickey, and they have an interest in the Rays' James Shields.
Dickey, who pitched for the Rangers from 2001 to 2006, has told people he would "love" to come back to Texas.
The Rangers, who list Martin Perez as their fifth starter, may look at other free-agent pitchers if they can't land Greinke or make a trade. The list drops off quickly after Greinke, with Kyle Lohse, Joe Saunders and Anibal Sanchez among the best available. The Rangers aren't likely to re-sign Ryan Dempster, who spent the final two months of the season with them after being acquired from the Cubs on July 31.
"Starting pitching is an area we're looking at, and we've talked about a few different options," Daniels said. "We're looking at both [trades and free agency], but I can't tell you our chances of completing something."
Starting pitching, the bullpen and catching are the Rangers' main areas of focus. Daniels said that the Rangers want to re-sign Hamilton, but if they don't, they'll likely go with an outfield of David Murphy in left, Nelson Cruz in right, and a platoon of Craig Gentry and Leonys Martin in center.
There has been speculation that the Rangers might trade shortstop Elvis Andrus, and one rumor that won't die is their alleged interest in D-backs outfielder Justin Upton. But Daniels said the chances of Andrus being with the Rangers on Opening Day are "very strong."
Clubs that look at the depth of the Rangers' infield think Texas might trade either Andrus or rookie Jurickson Profar, but Daniels downplayed the possibility.
"I'm not saying we won't under any circumstances, but it has to be a unique set of circumstances," he said.

The egg's shape has often inspired artists. It has been the palette for one of the most intriguing of folk arts in many cultures. There is literally no end to the creative possibilities for individual expression on an egg shell. Eggs can be painted or colored with crayons or felt-tipped pens, turned into funny faces, topped with fantastic hats, trimmed with feathers or sequins or simply dyed in an endless variety of hues. However you decide to do it, decorating eggs is fun for grown-ups as well as for kids.

Cheektowaga Teacher Suing District Over Religious Items in Classroom | News
Title (Max 100 Characters)
BUFFALO, NY-- A Cheektowaga teacher is suing the district for allegedly telling her to remove religious items from her classroom or face being fired.
A lawsuit was filed in Federal Court on behalf of the teacher, Joelle Silver, by the American Freedom Law Center (AFLCs).
WEB EXTRA: Click here to read the lawsuit
Silver, a high school teacher at Cheektowaga Central, claims she was forced last year by school officials to remove a poster of an American flag with a bible verse on it, as well as notes on her desk with scripture.
Robert Muise, Silver's attorney and co-founder of the AFLC says, "This is one of the most egregious examples of religious hostility I have witnessed in a public school. Ms. Silver does not cease being a Christian nor does she shed her constitutional rights at the schoolhouse gate."
Silver declined to do an interview with us, deferring to the AFLC to speak on her behalf.
Dennis Kane, Superintendent of Schools for Cheektowaga Central, tells 2 On Your Side the district recieved a very specific complaint last spring from a group called Freedom from Relgion based out of Madison, Wisconsin. The organization was contacted by a student who did not want their identity disclosed to school officials.
Kane said the district, along with legal counsel and their insurance company, took a great deal of time and care deciding how to respond, going so far as to consult a constitutional expert before sending a letter to Ms.Silver.
The Superintendent described Silver as a "very good" teacher, who remains on the job. However, he did say the items in question have been removed.

Los Angeles (April 25, 2010) - The Screen Actors Guild National Young Performers Committee launched a new website specifically for SAG young performers on Saturday with a lively indoor carnival.
Approximately 450 young performers and their families visited the carnival at SAG headquarters in Los Angeles to check out the new features available at SAG.org/YoungPerformers, which include an interactive on-set feature, quizzes, videos, resources, frequently asked questions, and an online version of the SAG Young Performers Handbook. The site was funded through a grant from the SAG-Producers Industry Advancement and Cooperative Fund.
The carnival also included games, a Wii lounge, raffle, photo booth, dancing and the requisite popcorn and cotton candy. Each carnival booth was "presented" by SAG departments that shared information about the Guild with actors and their parents.
Among the young performers in attendance were Robbie Amell (True Jackson VP), Kasey Campbell (Brothers & Sisters, Weeds), Madisen Beaty (The Curious Case of Benjamin Button), Ashley Fink (Glee, Fat Girls), RJ Mitte (Breaking Bad), Daniella Monet (Victorious, Nancy Drew ), Nikki SooHoo (The Lovely Bones, Bring It On: Fight to the Finish) and National Young Performers Committee members Jillian Henry (Ramona and Beezus, Lilo & Stitch: The Series) and Elizabeth McLaughlin (The Clique, Ugly Betty).
"The carnival was a great event for SAG young performers and their parents to be able to preview the new website, play games and get important information about SAG," said SAG National Young Performers Committee Chair Justin Shenkarow. "We wanted to create a website where kids and their parents could go to get information in a fun, cool way, and with the new Young Performer's site, we've definitely achieved that."
For photos of the event, see the slideshow below.

From www.citrusperl.com: "Citrus Perl is a binary distribution of Perl created for GUI application developers. The distribution includes wxPerl, the Perl wrapper for wxWidgets. Where supported by the operating system wxWidgets is available as a package for the 2.8.x stable branch and the 2.9.x development branch. Several other modules are packaged including GD, DBD::Pg, DBD::mysql and Tk for users wishing to migrate existing Tk code to Wx. Additional modules can be built from CPAN as with any other Perl installation. For Windows users, a package of the gcc compiler is available and can be installed from within Citrus Perl itself if required. Distributions are available for MS Windows, Linux and MacOSX. The distribution is provided under the same Artistic License as the packaged Perl. The current releases of Citrus Perl can be downloaded from the sourceforge project site."
I downloaded and installed the stable release version(Perl 5.16 and wxWidgets 2.8.x) last night(10/11). I had to also install freeglut3 for use by OpenGL and wxperl_demo.pl as mentioned in the installation document.

Point3DAnimationUsingKeyFrames Class
Assembly: PresentationCore (in presentationcore.dll)

[ContentPropertyAttribute("KeyFrames")] public class Point3DAnimationUsingKeyFrames : Point3DAnimationBase, IKeyFrameAnimation, IAddChild
/** @attribute ContentPropertyAttribute("KeyFrames") */ public class Point3DAnimationUsingKeyFrames extends Point3DAnimationBase implements IKeyFrameAnimation, IAddChild

<Point3DAnimationUsingKeyFrames> KeyFrames </Point3DAnimationUsingKeyFrames>
A key frame animation's target values are defined by its KeyFrames property, which contains a collection of Point3DKeyFrame objects. Each Point3DKeyFrame defines a segment of the animation with its own target Value and KeyTime. When the animation runs, it progresses from one key value to the next at the specified key times.
There are three types of Point3DKeyFrame classes, one for each supported interpolation method: LinearPoint3DKeyFrame, DiscretePoint3DKeyFrame, and SplinePoint3DKeyFrame.
Unlike a Point3DAnimation, a Point3DAnimationUsingKeyFrames can have more than two of target values. You can also control the interpolation method of individual Point3DKeyFrame segments.
In the following example, Point3DAnimationUsingKeyFrames is used to animate the position of a PerspectiveCamera in a 3D scene. In addition, Vector3DAnimationUsingKeyFrames is used to animate the direction the camera is pointing in the 3D scene. Both of these animations use several key frames which create a series of animation effects:
LinearPoint3DKeyFrame and LinearVector3DKeyFrame are used to create a smooth, linear interpolation between values.
DiscretePoint3DKeyFrame and DiscreteVector3DKeyFrame are used to create sudden "jumps" between values (no interpolation).
SplinePoint3DKeyFrame and SplineVector3DKeyFrame are used to create a variable transition between values depending on the KeySpline property. In the example below, the animation starts off slow but toward the end of the time segment, speeds up exponentially.

What began in 1997 as a visit to a local roaster/co-op in the cloud forests of Monte Verde, Costa Rica, morphed into personal quest to create an affordable, yet user friendly, home coffee roaster that would enable anyone the means to roast their own coffee and enjoy the true meaning of fresh roasted coffee. After eight years of research, 250 thousand miles traveled, thousands of tests roasts and countless revisions, the Behmor 1600 was born. The Behmor 1600 is an easy to use one pound capacity home roaster that employs patent pending smoke suppression technology while at the same time using environmentally sensitive practices in its production.

Preview: Phillies v. Rockies at Coors Field – Friday afternoon, 2:10 pm Mountain Time.
The Philadelphia Phillies (1-2) will begin their first road trip of the 2009 season this afternoon by facing the Colorado Rockies (2-1) at Coors Field in Denver, Colorado. The game will begin at 2:10 pm mountain time. The Phillies, who are now looking for their first series win, will send their ace, Cole Hamels, to the mound. Hamels, who was perfect in the post-season last season, going 4-0 in five starts, with a 1.80 ERA, as he won the 2008 National League Championship Series and the 2008 World Series MVP Awards, coming of age as one of baseball's elite starters. During the regular season, he was 14-10 with a 3.09 ERA in 33 starts, including two complete games. His 2009 record is presently 0-0 with a -.– ERA. He will be gunning for his first victory of the season, and to pitch the first quality start by one of the Phils' starters. The Colorado Rockies will counter with Jason Marquis, who will be pitching his first game as a member of the Rockies pitching staff. Last season, as a member of the 2008 National League Central Division Champions Chicago Cubs, Marquis went 11-9 with a 4.53 ERA in 29 games, with 28 of them being starts. He will be looking to get rid of the sour taste left in his mouth being a member of a Cubs team that got swept in the Divisional Championship Series by the Los Angeles Dodgers. His 2009 record is also 0-0 with a -.– ERA. He will also be going for his first win of the season.
The Phillies, with 2008 finally behind them, as they have finally received their 2008 World Series rings on Wedensday, will be trying to put together both their first winning streak and their first series win for 2009. Chase Utley is presently leading the team in batting average among the regulars with a .364 batting average (4-11), followed by Carlos Ruiz at .333 (3-9), Raul Ibanez at .273 (3-11) and Ryan Howard at .250 (3-12). Utley also leads the team in hits with 4, followed by Ruiz, Ibanez and Howard with 3 hits apiece, while Ibanez leads the team in RBIs with 3, followed by Utley with 2. Ibanez also has the team's only home run.

The Flamingo's Smile: Reflections in Natural History
Ever since the appearance of Ontogeny and Phylogeny a decade ago, Stephen Jay Gould has continued to delight and inform a wide spectrum of readers and, in doing so, to defy C.P. Snow's lament about the "two cultures" of the sciences and the humanities. Gould's monthly column in Natural History magazine, published under the heading "This View of Life," has led to a series of highly praised volumes of essays—Ever Since Darwin (1977), The Panda's Thumb (1980), Hen's Teeth and Horse's Toes (1983), and most recently The Flamingo's Smile (1985). In addition, Gould's Mismeasure of Man (1981), which won the National Book Critics' Circle Award, analyzed the questionable character of intelligence testing and emphasized the many personal and cultural biases that have led researchers astray in this field. Given the sheer amount of Gould's publications, which include numerous scientific publications as well, Gould's readers have been kept busy indeed absorbing his prodigious output.
Now, with Time's Arrow, Time's Cycle, Gould has turned to the history of geology, a field very close to his main concerns as a paleontologist. In this new work he offers a revisionist historical account of the discovery of geological time. If anyone suspects that Gould has at last written a book on a rather dry historical question, I should emphasize that he has hit upon a rich subject and has written a highly perceptive and fascinating book. Furthermore, his latest volume offers his readers a valuable insight into his wider intellectual vision, providing them with a literary blueprint for a number of the basic concerns that unite his many essays and books. To understand Gould one should read his new book. In this review I shall try to illustrate some of the connections between it and the rest of his work.
The Discovery of Deep Time
Geological time is so immense compared with the human experience of time that we can only hope to grasp it dimly through analogies. "Consider the earth's history," Gould suggests, "as the old measure of the English yard, the distance from the king's nose to the tip of his outstretched hand. One stroke of a nail file on his middle finger erases human history." This discovery of "deep time," which involved abandoning biblical standards of time for nearly incomprehensible eons, Gould ranks with the monumental intellectual revolutions associated with Copernicus and Darwin. He has picked three major figures in the history of geology, one traditional villain (Thomas Burnet) and two traditional heroes (James Hutton and Charles Lyell), to illustrate the nature of this discovery.
Standard textbook accounts of the achievements of these three figures have long provided what Gould describes as a "self-serving mythology." These flimsy "cardboard" accounts vaunt the superiority of empiricism and inductivism over the scientific nemesis of religious bigotry. According to the textbooks, geology remained in the service of the Mosaic story of creation as long as armchair…

Lazy weekend mornings are perfect for pancakes. However… I struggle with keeping them warm because I'm a much earlier riser than my husband. I want to make pancakes when I get up, but I want them to be warm when he wakes up.
I know you can turn on your oven and warm them that way – but I was looking for something more simple and less energy intensive.
Here's the key – use the warm setting on your griddle. Place the prepared pancakes on a plate and set them on the griddle set to warm.
Keeps pancakes warm for those late risers!

Newcastle United's latest signing, Mapou Yanga-Mbiwa, has everything it takes to be a top player in the Premier League.
The 23-year-old defender will add some steel to the Magpies' defensive line, with Alan Pardew's side having struggled this season.
Yanga-Mbiwa joined from Montpellier on January 22 after six seasons spearheading Montepellier's success. He joins an ever-growing list of French players at St. James' Park, with compatriots Mathieu Debuchy and Hatem Ben Arfa already plying their trade in the north east of England.
Quick, aggressive and versatile, the former Ligue 1 winner seems to have it all. His speed and tactical awareness means he can play anywhere along the back four, which could have been a deciding factor in Pardew's decision to bring the former French U21 international to the club. Yanga-Mbiwa even found himself running the midfield at times for Montpellier, most notably in a Champions League encounter against Arsenal, and he didn't look out of place either.
Overall, his physical attributes will be a great asset for a struggling Newcastle side, whilst his mental toughness should ensure that the Magpies steer clear of the relegation zone before too long. From what I've seen, Newcastle have made a very smart acquisition. With reports suggesting club captain Fabricio Coloccini wants to leave for personal reasons, the addition of Yanga-Mbiwa for a modest £6.7 million is an astute piece of business by the club.
