Fried squeaky cheese? What is not to love? (aside from the price) That stuff stays with you. I swear cheese is like heroin to kids. You just have to be careful not to give them the good stuff otherwise it develops into an expensive habit.

Leading education technology company Adaptive Curriculum announced today
the launch of its first consumer product, Uzinggo. Uzinggo is designed
to improve a student's comprehension and test scores in math and science
with customized help at home. Uzinggo is an online-based learning system
that combines leading education techniques, interactive game-like
graphics, real-world simulations and motivational tools to help students
fully understand what they are learning in school.
Much more engaging than a textbook, Uzinggo helps students, striving to
improve in math and science, learn through online lessons that are
designed for digital-age learners. Uzinggo is built on a foundation of
extensively researched educational standards. The 5E Instructional Model
- Engage, Explore, Explain, Elaborate and Evaluate - is built into each
of Uzinggo's study plans, or ZingPaths™. Uzinggo is available for
students in grades 5-12, with ZingPaths™ in courses ranging from
Pre-Algebra to Physics. Prep and review courses are also available in a
variety of subjects.
"For the U.S. to remain a leader in global innovation we have to
acknowledge that many of our students are struggling in math and
science," says Peter Rillero, Ph.D., Science Education, Tenured
Professor of Science Education, Teachers College, Arizona State
University. "The research conducted jointly with ASU and Adaptive
Curriculum illustrates that there are ways to address this: students
need a deeper understanding of math and science, and they need to relate
these subjects to the real world - Uzinggo does this."
When using Uzinggo, students are guided through a ZingPath™ on a chosen
subject course with audio prompts and robust interactive models. After
receiving guided instruction and completing an activity, students are
rewarded with points and badges. Students can earn more points by
completing an assessment and performing well on the questions.
Activities and assessments can be repated as many times as needed until
the student fully comprehends the subject matter.
"Adaptive Curriculum's institutional product is successfully implemented
in schools across the country, where students have been struggling to
achieve average performance levels, let alone excel," said Adaptive
Curriculum CEO Jim Bowler. "The incredible turn-around stories school
administrators and teachers have shared with us inspired us to create a
product parents can use at home with their children to further support
the learning experience, and help all of our children perform well on
Students are motivated to succeed when using Uzinggo in a variety of
ways that cannot be found in a traditional classroom environment.
Earning points enables students to build an avatar, create their own
online room or even enter themselves for a chance to win gift cards by
bidding on prizes. Viewing their score ranking on the leader board and
earning various badges furthers their motivation.
Parental involvement is an integral part of the Uzinggo learning
experience. Parents can log into their account at any time to view their
child's progress through the lessons, how much time the child has spent
on activities, if the child completed assessments and how the child
performed on the assessments. There are also additional assessments and
answer keys available through the parents' portal that they can print
out to use offline with their child to further enhance the learning
For more information and to sign up for an account today, visit: www.uzinggo.com.

Biggio: I kept an open mind to Hall of Fame vote
Astros second baseman reacts to falling short at news conference Thursday
By Brian McTaggart /01/10/13 2:45 PM ET
HOUSTON -- The morning was anything but typical, though Craig Biggio attempted his best to stay busy. He drank a couple of cups of coffee and tried to kill some time at his Houston home while awaiting the results of the National Baseball Hall of Fame balloting on Wednesday.
Biggio, who retired from the Astros in 2007 after collecting 3,060 hits, was informed by the Hall of Fame to keep his phone line clear between 12-1 p.m. CT, so when the phone rang a little after the bottom of the hour with an East Coast area code, he answered it with great anticipation.
The call from the Hall never came. For Biggio, or anybody else. For the first time since 1996, the Baseball Writers' Association of America didn't elect any players to be inducted into the Hall of Fame. Biggio led the voting with 68.2 percent his first time on the ballot, which was 39 votes shy of the 75 percent needed.
"I kept an open mind to the whole thing," Biggio said. "Who knew how the voters were going to vote? It's something that's out of your control, so the way I've lived my life is stay as busy as you can for the most part. The morning of you start getting a little anxious, a little nervous about what could possibly happen. Was I disappointed? I'm pretty close [to getting in]. We got a 68 [percent], and I'm going to go back and study a little harder and hopefully I'll get a 75 next year."
Biggio did get a call later in the day from long-time teammate Jeff Bagwell, who got 59.6 percent of the vote in his third year on the ballot. The two were the face of the Astros franchise from 1991-2005 and charter members of the Killer B's.
"The conversation we had after the vote came between the two of us is something I'll remember for a while," Biggio said.
Biggio, whose Hall of Fame resume extends beyond his club-record hit total, will certainly be elected to the Hall of Fame in the next few years, if not next year. He appeared on the ballot at a time when voters were struggling to handle the flurry of first-time nominees who played during a period clouded by the use of performance-enhancing drugs.
Biggio and Bagwell have never been linked to any PEDs. Biggio acknowledged his name was probably caught up in the PED voting debate that surrounded Barry Bonds, Roger Clemens, Sammy Sosa, Rafael Palmeiro and Mike Piazza.
"I think it's kind of unfair, but it's the reality of the era we played in," Biggio said. "Obviously, some guys are guilty and other guys aren't. It's painful for the ones that weren't, and hopefully this situation will all pass and move on and we'll have something possibly good to talk about maybe next year."
Biggio took some comfort in knowing contemporaries like Roberto Alomar, Ryne Sandberg and Barry Larkin didn't get into the Hall on the first ballot, either, despite strong credentials. Alomar went in on his second year on the ballot, and both Sandberg and Larkin waited three years after getting less than 52 percent of the vote the first year.
"A lot of people have a stipulation with the first-year guys because of the history of some of the other people that didn't get in on the first ballot," Biggio said. "They just will not vote that way, and it will be interesting to see how they vote next year with some of the other guys coming on. It's an interesting conversation."
As far as any changes to the voting process, Biggio wasn't ready to demand a new way to elect players to the Hall of Fame. In fact, he said the Baseball Hall of Fame should be difficult to gain admission.
"I haven't looked into it all that much, so for me to sit up here and speculate if we should make any changes made, that's above my pay grade," Biggio said. "When you look at all the Halls of Fame, that's what makes baseball special. It's pretty unbelievable. We're not letting six guys in every year. You have a list of a lot of guys that are very qualified and nobody was let in. It says a lot about you if you're able to get in there and how special that building really is."
Biggio was asked as much about the credentials of Bagwell, Bonds and Clemens as he was his own, and he made it clear all three should be in Cooperstown. They will all be back on the ballot next year -- along with first-timers Tom Glavine, Greg Maddux and Frank Thomas -- and Biggio still hopes to get the call along with Bagwell in 2014.
"I think it would be cool," he said. "For the two of us to be able to have the opportunity to go in together would be really special. He moved up and we had a nice start, and hopefully the writers feel [that we deserve to be in].
"For two guys that represented the Astros and the organization, we represented it the right way. The big thing for Jeff is we loved the game, we played the game and we wanted to win. The only thing that mattered was getting to the World Series."

I'm guessing there's an intermediate step where the short term climate change means more/less domesticated birds, and/or one season's winter being more or less severe means more or less travel and more or less snow days.
Dude in China can't catch bird flu from a bird that he didn't keep because feed is so expensive, and I can't catch it from my coworker if I'm trapped at home in a blizzard, and/or its so dang warm I can't catch it at the mall because I'm playing outside in the beautiful weather.
"dang warm I can't catch it at the mall because I'm playing outside in the beautiful weather."
Just watch out for the West Nile virus. Dengue fever is starting to show up in higher latitudes as well. Better yet, just don't leave the house. And disconnect the computer from the internet so you don't catch a virus that way either.

Vague much?

I love the specificity of this sentence.
The ENSO (El Niño Southern Oscillation) usually exhibits a period of three to five years - so it's not exactly like La Niña is an uncommon event. If there's a correlation, it's pretty weak.
Frustratingly, the PNAS article isn't published yet, so it's impossible to assess how they came to their conclusions. Did the Beeb break embargo, or are the scientists actually doing the press release before the paper?
Yes, that's what happened when I tried to submit the story. That's why I removed the accent.
Or you could learn some HTML so you could write "La Niña." It's pretty easy to look this stuff up...

Why in the fuck would you use an HTML entity for a perfectly valid character?
It's SLASHDOT'S fault that anything unicode gets fucked to hell.
HTML entities are for ESCAPING special characters like < via < so they're interpreted and rendered as text and not code.

"Well, it would be hard for the next flu pandemic to not be worse that the last one, since the last flu pandemic killed fewer people in the U.S. than the flu usually kills each year (I do not have worldwide numbers, but my impression is that they were pretty low as well). "
Depends on what sort of flu:
http://virus.stanford.edu/uda/ [stanford.edu]
WWI certainly exacerbated the 1918 pandemic, but it was hitting parts of the world that really couldn't be considered part of the sphere of the war, so you seem to be stretching things a bit. As to modern medicines, that's true enough, but if you look at what's happened in the UK a few times over the last ten years with medical services absolutely swamped by high numbers of people seeking medical care, well, one can get the sense that if first world healthcare systems really got nailed hard, you can only tr
A World Pandemic is eventual, and probably will be worse than previous Pandemics. With Climate Change increasing rapidly, Polution getting worse, and Population on the rise, I'm surprised a global virus hasn't killed millions of people yet.
Perhaps you're unfamiliar with HIV?
Holy cow, up until 10-15 years ago (I don't remember exactly when) most of us had never even heard of el nino/la nina.
Now it seems like there's a fairly regular interval at which people come out and say that one or the other of these is the cause of all sorts of great weirdness.
I honestly can't decide if there's any validity to it, or if people are just spending their research grants to tie their research to something which is on a 5-year (ish) cycle
That wouldn't have anything to do with finally having the computing power to do whole Earth weather modelling, would it?
Could be
My point was up until the first time most of us heard of El Nino a decade or so ago
My point was up until the first time most of us heard of El Nino a decade or so ago
... well, nobody had ever heard of it
Well, no.
El Nino/La Nina have long been known to affect the behaviour of hurricanes in the Gulf. So most of us who live down here have been paying attention to them for as long as I can remember...
The reason you didn't hear about it is because we didn't really know about it until a few decades ago. It also got a lot of press with the massive 97/98 El Nino (that's when most people first heard of it) and also in 83/84, the last big El Nino before 97/98. It was first noticed in the late 1900s, though, so it's hardly new even in the scientific world. Now that we have much better measuring and modelling techniques, we can do more useful things with the knowledge of ENSO than we could in the past.

Turnovers Cost Men's Basketball in First SEC Loss
TUSCALOOSA, Ala. - In a match-up of two of the SEC's Top 3 defensive scoring units, Alabama rode a 20-point effort from Trevor Releford on 9-of-11 shooting to claim a 69-53 victory over the LSU men's basketball team Wednesday at Coleman Coliseum.
LSU (11-5, 1-1 SEC) had its run of holding opponents under 60 points come to a close at nine straight games. South Alabama was the last team to break the 60-point barrier versus the Tigers back on November 23.
Andre Stringer tallied 13 points on 5-of-11 from the floor sparked by a trio of three-pointers. Reigning SEC Player of the Week, Justin Hamilton, tacked on 12 points and hauled in six rebounds. Anthony Hickey and Storm Warren chipped in eight points apiece.
The Crimson Tide (13-3, 2-0 SEC), who was ranked as high as No. 12 in mid-December and are receiving votes in the latest editions AP and ESPN/USA Today Top 25 polls, connected on 50.8 shooting en route to their fifth straight win. Tony Mitchell added a double-double with 11 points and 10 rebounds.
LSU erased an early 8-2 deficit and reeled off 11 of the next 13 points. Hickey buried back-to-back jumpers to cap the spurt, and the Tigers took a 13-10 advantage at the 11:51 mark of the first half.
Alabama turned up the defensive intensity and held LSU to only two baskets for the rest of the half. Levi Randolph knocked down a three-ball as the opening half come to a close, and the Crimson Tide built a 31-19 lead at the intermission.
Both teams committed 15 turnovers, but Alabama scored 25 of the game's 35 points off miscues. The Tigers pulled within 40-32 on a Storm Warren lay-up with 14:25 remaining. Over the next 2:16, the Crimson Tide ran off the next nine points capped by a Mitchell jumper to surge back ahead by a 17-point spread.
LSU concludes its two-game road trip Saturday at Arkansas. Tip-off is slated for 8 p.m. and Fox Sports Network will carry the action live from Bud Walton Arena.
The LSU Sports Radio Network also will broadcast the game on 100.7 FM (The Tiger) in the Baton Rouge area. Jim Hawthorne, Kevin Ford and Ricky Blanton will call the action.

The leading stock indexes saw their largest declines since late 2012 today, after five weeks of stellar gains.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average lost 129.71 points, or 0.93%, to close at 13,880.08. It was the Dow's biggest fall since Dec. 28. Only one stock on the index closed up: Boeing (BA), which saw a 0.5% gain. Despite the drop, the Dow is still up 5.9% year-to-date.
The Standard & Poor's 500 index lost 1.15% to close at 1,495.71 — the largest drop for the index since Nov. 14 coming one session after it logged a 52-week high. The index is still up 4.9% this year, however.
The Russell 2000 index fell 1.31%, also its biggest fall since Nov. 14. The index is up 5.9% in 2013.
By far the biggest decliners among large-caps were McGraw-Hill (MHP) and Moody's (MCO), which saw losses of 13.8% and 10.7% respectively after the Wall Street Journal reported that McGraw-Hill unit Standard & Poor's Ratings Services faces a civil lawsuit by federal and state agencies.
The likely move by U.S. officials would be the first federal enforcement action against a credit-rating firm for alleged illegal behavior related to the crisis. Several state attorneys general are expected to join the case, making it one of the highest-profile and widest-ranging enforcement crisis-era crackdowns.
The expected civil charges against S&P follow the breakdown of long-running settlement talks between the Justice Department and S&P, the people said.
Standard & Poor's dismissed the potential Justice Department lawsuit as "entirely without factual or legal merit."
On an otherwise mostly grim day, health insurer Humana (HUM) saw its stock gain 4.7% after its earnings beat analyst estimates.

Matt Kuchar makes Memorial second PGA victory of yearBy MARK LAMPORT-STOKES
June 02. 2013 8:00PM
DUBLIN, Ohio — Matt Kuchar held off a late challenge from Kevin Chappell to clinch the Memorial Tournament by two shots on Sunday and become the PGA Tour's second multiple winner this year.
Leading by two going into the final round at Muirfield Village Golf Club, the 34-year-old Kuchar was never caught as he fired a four-under-par 68 in the high-profile event hosted by Jack Nicklaus.
Kuchar birdied all four of the par-fives on the heavily tree-lined layout to remain in control and rubber-stamped his win by sinking a 20-foot birdie putt at the par-four last for a 12-under total of 276.
Chappell, seeking his first PGA Tour victory, birdied four of the last six holes for a bogey-free 68 and outright second place while five-time champion Tiger Woods ended a forgettable week with a 72, finishing 20 strokes off the pace.
Kyle Stanley, who briefly cut Kuchar's lead to one with a sizzling run of four birdies in five holes on the front nine, faded to a 71 for third place at seven under.
Kuchar, however, reigned supreme on perhaps the easiest day for scoring in easing winds after a challenging week at Muirfield Village where strong gusts and lightning-fast greens had posed all sorts of problems for the players.
Having clinched one of the biggest victories of his career at the WGC-Accenture Match Play Championship in February, Kuchar emulated Woods as a multiple champion this season and pocketing the winner's check for $1.116 million.
"It's a real honor to win this tournament," Kuchar said to Nicklaus as he was greeted with a handshake by his longtime idol after walking off the 18th green.
"This is such an amazing feeling," said Kuchar, who will rise to a career-high fourth in the world rankings today. "This never gets old."
Kuchar made a fast start to the final round, sinking a 14-foot birdie putt at the par-four first to move three strokes ahead.
However, he succumbed to the lurking danger on the slick greens when he recorded a three-putt bogey at the par-three fourth, missing a three-footer to slip back to eight under.
Scott Stallings, who had reeled off five consecutive birdies from the fourth, briefly closed to within a stroke of the lead when he sank a seven-foot birdie putt at the par-four 10th.
Kuchar countered with two-putt birdies at the par-five fifth and the par-five seventh to regain a three-shot cushion before reaching the turn in two-under 34.
At that point, he was one ahead of Stanley, who had birdied the fifth, sixth, eighth and ninth.
Kuchar benefited from a two-shot swing at the par-five 11th where he rolled in a 14-footer for birdie to lead by three after Stanley, who ended up under the lip of a fairway bunker off the tee, bogeyed the hole.
With none of his closest challengers applying any sustained pressure, Kuchar increased his advantage to four with another two-putt birdie at the par-five 15th.
Kuchar bogeyed the par-three 16th after his tee shot ran through the fringe into tangly grass from where his chip ended 14 feet beyond the hole and his lead was cut to two when Chappell sank a 20-footer to birdie the 17th.
Though Chappell struck a superb approach to just two feet at the last to set up his fourth birdie of the round, Kuchar matched him when he stunningly sank his attempt from 20 feet.
Woods, who began the day 16 strokes off the pace after struggling with his putting over the first three rounds, came badly unstuck with a triple-bogey at the par-three 12th, his third hole of the day.
However, five birdies in his last 13 holes gave himself something to build on as he now prepares for the second major of the year, the June 13-16 U.S. Open at Merion
"It wasn't like it was that far off today," Woods said after finishing at wight over 296. "It was just one hole that cost me obviously a few shots.
"It happens. It happens to us all. I go home next week and practise. It's just one of those weeks. It happens. This week I obviously didn't putt well. I had some funky stances."

One of the most enduring questions in Southwestern archaeology is why many thousands of Pueblo people left the Four Corners region in the late AD 1200s, moving away from an area where their ancestors had lived for many centuries. There is not a single simple answer to this question; but this presentation reviews recent research in the Mesa Verde and Rio Grande regions that sheds new light on the climatic and cultural factors that may have influenced the migrations, where the migrants eventually settled, and what social and cultural changes accompanied their relocation.

Some of the players have already been hanging around Valley Ranch over the last few weeks getting in workouts to begin preparation for the 2010 season. The rest of the team is expected on Monday for the official start of voluntary workouts. It doesn't appear there is going to be much change in the core group of players on the roster so the focus will be on improving the existing roster. Here is what I am hoping is addressed during the workouts.
1. Chemistry between Tony Romo and Roy Williams. I know both players reported early last offseason to try to get on the same page. And early last preseason things looked headed in the right direction. But for whatever reason it appeared that these two could never really click during the regular season. These two need to get comfortable to the point that Tony knows what Roy is going to do before Roy even makes a move. That kind of chemistry only comes with endless repetition.
2. Better footwork from the offensive tackles. The biggest flaw in the team last year was exposed in the playoff games with the Vikings. The tackles were slow off the ball. Part of that was due to the crowd and part of it was Marc Columbo playing injured. But the bottom line is that the tackles have to be quicker off the ball to prevent the speed rushers from putting pressure on Romo from the outside. Free and Columbo are still young enough that they can improve their technique. Flozell needs to try to maintain whatever quickness he has left in the tank at this point in his career.
3. Field goal kicking. Obviously field goals were horrible for the Cowboys last year. David Beuhler and Conner Hughes are supposed to be fighting for the job of place kicker. With the new kicking coach, Chris Boniol, on the staff there is no reason these guys shouldn't be working every day on their technique. I would love to see Beuhler show up at training camp with new accuracy and win the job.
4. Marion Barber needs to train to get back in Marion the Barbarian mode. Barber has gone into the last two offseasons expected to be the starting back and carry most of the load for the running game. With Felix Jones emerging as the #1 back at the end of the 2009 season it would appear that Barber will return to his short yardage and closer role. The training required to be the starter is different than what Barber should be doing to carry the ball in short yardage situations. Barber needs to regain his power burst that he had previously and seems to have lost over the last two seasons.
5. Last years rookies need to get ready for a much bigger role next season. Jason Williams, Brandon Williams, Mike Hamlin and several others are going to be expected to be big contributors this season. A few of the rookies got a little playing time last season but most of them were injured or inactive most of the season. They all need to prepare to get on the field this season. Jason Williams has incredible athletic talent and he should be ready for a bigger role in the defense this year. And Mike Hamlin is expected to take over one of the starting safety jobs some day. Robert Brewster has a chance to develop into a viable backup at tackle this offseason.
Offseason workouts don't get the media attention that free agency and the draft receive but their importance can't be underestimated. No cameras, no microphones, just hard work. The workouts give the players an opportunity to improve their skills but they also build camaraderie among the team. The team leaders all attend the workouts religiously and their example brings in nearly all of the players during the offseason. Hopefully every player on the roster can make improvements to their game.

LAS VEGAS (AP) – Flavor Flav intends to fight criminal charges and seek reconciliation with his longtime fiancée after an argument led to his arrest last week, the entertainer's lawyer said Monday.
The 53-year-old former rap, hip-hop and reality TV star, whose legal name is William Jonathan Drayton Jr., didn't appear in person during a hearing before Las Vegas Justice of the Peace Melissa Saragosa.
Drayton's attorney Tony Abbatangelo told The Associated Press his client plans to plead not guilty to allegations that he pushed his girlfriend of 8 years to the floor and wielded two knives as he chased and threatened the woman's 17-year-old son during an argument Wednesday at their home in Las Vegas.
Drayton is charged with felony assault and misdemeanor domestic battery. He could face up to 6 years in prison if convicted of the assault charge and 6 months in jail on the domestic battery charge.
"They've been together a long time, and they want to work this out," Abbatangelo said. "We want what's best for the family."
Elizabeth Trujillo, 39, told police her earring was ripped out during the incident that she said stemmed from an argument over infidelity. The teen wasn't injured.

It's hard to believe that it's time for the Exceptional DBA awards once again. It was just a few months ago that I watched the presentation of the award to Jeff Moden in Seattle. However time flies, especially as I get older, and the nominations are once again open for the 2012 award. You can enter yourself or someone else between now and June 29th, so take a chance and enter if you think you're doing a great job as a DBA for your company.
The previous winners have been ordinary people, just like most of you out there, that go to work, do their job, and are relatively unknown. They are exceptional, however, and their applications have shown that. These are people that go above and beyond what others do. They under-promise, over-deliver, and they help others. Those are the types of traits and characteristics that I get from their nomination forms. It's interesting to see that many of our past finalists not only entered the contest, but were entered by a co-worker. That in and of itself says something about their work when a friend is willing to nominate them.
I'm judging again this year, along with Brad McGehee, Grant Fritchey, and Rodney Landrum. We've all down this before, and we all have lots of experience with people that stand out, and do not stand out, at work and in the community. We each have a slightly different take on the award, but we all get together and debate and decide who the finalists will be.
From my perspective, I want to see someone that does two main things. First, they're effective. I have always been very successful at different jobs because I get things done. I ensure the systems work, and I solve problems, without getting bogged down in arguments, religious wars, or personal conflicts. My job first and foremost is to ensure that things work as people expect. I'm looking for those traits in an Exceptional DBA. Second, I want to see someone that makes others better, that helps the community. It doesn't have to be by speaking, or blogging, or any one particular thing, but there are lots of smart people out there that get things done. I think the exceptional ones also make others better, either inside their company, in their area, or throughout the world. They share what they know and help lift up everyone else's skills.
If you think you qualify, take some time and put together a nomination. If you think there's someone that's helped you and does a great job, nominate them. Make sure you spend a little time drafting, and proofing what you write. Good communication is essential here, and we all are writers for a living, so make sure you send us your best effort.
Enter today, and you may be the Exceptional DBA of 2012.

Journalist H. G. "Buzz" Bissinger is the author of the bestseller Friday Night Lights, the inspiration for the popular television series; the highly acclaimed A Prayer for the City, an exploration of Ed Rendell's tenure as mayor of Philadelphia; and other books. A regular contributor to Vanity Fair, the New York Times Magazine, Sports Illustrated, The Daily Beast, and other publications, Bissinger was formerly a reporter for The Philadelphia Inquirer. While there, he received the 1987 Pulitzer Prize for his investigative series on corruption in the Philadelphia court system. Bissinger talks about his entry into journalism during the Watergate scandal, an event that ushered many talented writers into investigative journalism. He also talks about the writing of Friday Night Lights, which opened his eyes to the abuses of the American sports culture. In discussing football, Bissinger comments on the 2011 scandal at Penn State, where the school's drive to protect its own through a code of silence eventually brought down famed head football coach Joe Paterno and the University president. Bissinger marvels at the intelligence and dedication of former Philadelphia mayor and governor Ed Rendell but does not shy away from discussing Rendell's flaws, including his famous temper. Bissinger also praises David L. Cohen, Mayor Rendell's chief of staff and a former Drexel InterView guest. This immensely entertaining and probing episode concludes with Bissinger's comments on his newest book, Father's Day, a touching account of his son Zach, who, though developmentally disabled, has a character and world view that his father deeply admires.

PITTSBURGH—The gold medal, the one that electrified a country and cemented Sidney Crosby as part of Canadian hockey royalty forever, is "tucked away" somewhere out of sight and — Crosby insists — out of mind.
No need to have it displayed on the mantle or a coffee table. No wearing it around the house on a rainy day.
While he's brought it out once or twice upon request, Crosby doesn't sit around holding it in his hand.
Sure, it was a "nice moment" — Crosby's go-to phrase when asked to describe his golden goal 7:40 into overtime in the final against the United States — but it was just that, a moment.
"I've kind of moved on," Crosby said.
Fate didn't give him much of a choice.
Crosby's glove-flinging celebration in the corner of Vancouver's Rogers Arena as Maple Leaf flags draped the stands in a sea of red and white capped his ascendant rise from Sid the Kid to Sid the Saviour.
His wrist shot by Ryan Miller provided a fitting bookend to Crosby's triumphant hoisting of the Stanley Cup eight months earlier, when the youngest captain in NHL history led the formerly moribund Penguins to their first title in 17 years.
Four years later, on the surface not much has changed.
On the ice the 26-year-old remains one of the top players in the world. He's the NHL's leading scorer for one of the league's premier franchises and is the unquestioned face of the Canadian team as it looks to defend its gold medal in Sochi next month.
Off it, he remains the ever-polite, ever-humble son of Cole Harbour, N.S., the one who refuses to get caught up in his own hype.
It all looks so normal these days, it's easy to forget just how close Crosby came to nearly losing it all. The launching pad Vancouver was supposed to provide for Crosby's evolution from superstar to icon instead turned into a cautionary tale.
Less than a year removed from his golden goal, Crosby's career was at a crossroads.
Concussion-like symptoms sustained in a loss to Washington in the NHL's Winter Classic on Jan. 1, 2011, turned him into a reluctant touchstone for head injuries. As weeks turned into months and 2011 turned into 2012 and the symptoms persisted, the world's best player was forced to watch the game go on without him.
He missed two years in his prime, playing just 28 games during a 744-day span between Jan. 5, 2011 and Jan. 19, 2013, a bystander of sorts as teammate Evgeni Malkin, Chicago's Patrick Kane and Washington's Alex Ovechkin tried to wrest away Crosby's unofficial title as the game's best player.
It seems like a long time ago now. The questions that lingered when Crosby declared himself symptom-free at the end of the NHL lockout last January have vanished. Ironically, he's now one of the few players on the Penguins who have remained healthy this season as injuries have cost nearly a dozen regulars — including Malkin and defenceman Kris Letang — significant playing time.
It is Crosby who has kept Pittsburgh afloat. He entered Wednesday night's game against Washington with an NHL-high 67 points, well clear of Kane and New York Islanders centre John Tavares.
The Crosby who will wear No. 87 in Russia looks an awful lot like the one who dashed to glory in Vancouver — only wiser and perhaps more comfortable in his own skin. More consistent, too.
The player who struggled with faceoffs earlier in his career is now winning nearly 52 per cent of his draws. After being chastised by coach Dan Bylsma for perhaps being too unselfish at times, Crosby is one hot streak away from threatening the career-high 51 goals he put up in 2009-10, while averaging a career-high 22 minutes of ice time a night.
"One of Sid's best abilities is his ability to challenge himself and get better," Bylsma said. "He's gotten better with his demeanour and the maturity with which he plays the game."
It's a maturity that's hard won. Crosby has spent most of his life dealing with overwhelming expectations while trying to be deferential to his more experienced teammates. He never let it get to him in Vancouver, even though it was Crosby — and not players like Jarome Iginla or Scott Niedermayer or Martin Brodeur — who faced the most scrutiny.
"He's gone through a lot," said Steve Yzerman, general manager of the Canadian team. "Playing in the Olympics in Vancouver was a tremendous experience for him. (There was) so much pressure — more so than anybody in the entire Canadian Olympic program — on Sid there and he scored the winning goal. Four years later, he's going to be more comfortable."
There's certainly a sense of ease about Crosby that didn't necessarily exist earlier in his career. When he steps into the dressing room for the team's first practice next month, he's aware that the eyes will drift toward him for leadership.
Press Crosby on what's in it for him, what he could possibly do to top what happened in Vancouver, and the hockey nerd in him emerges. He points to the long hockey rivalry between Canada and Russia — dating all the way to the Summit Series in 1972 — and the unique challenge of trying to win Olympic gold in Russia.
It won't be Vancouver, but that doesn't mean the quest for gold is any less meaningful.
"If you have a record time in the Olympics prior to this one, you're not settling for that time this time around," he said. "You want to do better."
And last he checked, two golds were better than one. Ask Crosby if there's room in his house for a medal to bookend the one he grabbed in Vancouver and he just nods.
"Yeah, 100 per cent," he said with a laugh. "100 per cent."

PORT WASHINGTON, N.Y. (MarketWatch) — Consumers may be telling the pollsters that they are happy, but when it comes to opening their wallets, it's more like they're another day older and deeper in debt.
Ask people about Murphy's law, which postulates that anything that can go wrong, will, and they will respond by citing O'Brien's law: Murphy was an optimist.
This attitude makes you kind of wonder what people are so happy about. Here are just a few of their concerns:
- The 2% Social Security tax was restored at the beginning of the year. That's $1,000 gone with the wind for households earning $50,000 a year;
- Because of political bickering, people's tax refunds have been delayed. This is money many households were counting on to pay their holiday bills, or otherwise make ends meet;
- There are few good jobs out there for the 99% — especially those who have the misfortune to be among the long-term unemployed;
- From Sandy to Nemo, the weather has been awful, to say the least. Let's not forget that the Midwest got pounded this week with tons of snow, for the second time in a matter of days;
- If this were not enough, fuel prices are soaring, along with those for such other necessities as food and health care. Makes you also wonder — this time about the accuracy of the government's price indexes, which show little or no inflation;
- Getting back to politics, people are tired of the incessant bickering that seems to be a daily occurrence inside the Beltway. I am referring to gridlock over the upcoming sequester, the need to authorize government funding, Washington' debt ceiling and cabinet appointees.
Because of federal cutbacks in aid to states and local governments, there already have been widespread layoffs and reductions in services. In this environment, can you blame people for being parsimonious?

|Consumer sentiment
Nowadays, consumers are in no mood to buy anything other than necessities — assuming they can afford them. This is why they insist on markdowns, discounts, freebies and other means of price cuts before they even consider making a purchase.
So whether they are happy or not, the bottom line for retailers is people are not spending.
Retail sales in January are a case in point. They were well below economists' expectations (and merchants' hopes), coming in flat compared with December, seasonally adjusted.
February looks even worse, according to an internal memo leaked from a major retailer. All this does not bode well for the economy, since consumer spending accounts for about 70% of our overall gross domestic product.
On top of this, there is the previously mentioned fiscal restraint, which is tighter than is generally believed. Effective tax rates have jumped this year — and not just on the 1%. Meanwhile, sequester or not, spending is dropping sharply.
For its part, monetary policy is so easy it is actually counterproductive. Savers are being deprived of interest income, thus buying power.
Yet, if the Federal Reserve were to throttle back just a tad, the stock market would tank, as it demonstrated last week and this.
Then there are our trading partners, especially China, Japan and countries in the euro zone, who are pushing their currencies down against the dollar in order to gain a trade advantage at our expense.
Some days it just doesn't pay to get up in the morning.

Boring game, honestly.
Expected a better game. So far, it's been boring as hell.
Leggo foreskins!
Romo with a Sanchez pass.
Wow Romo WOW... and we ***** like hell about our QB's
Morris looks like what we expect Shonn Greene to be.
I dont hate Romo but the guy does choke a lot in big spots.
Yep, Tony CHOKE-O does it again...
He and Mark Sanchez must have come from the same embryo.
Romo and a 1st rounder for Revis and Sanchez. Make it happy Tranny!!!!
Lolmo gon' Lolmo.
What a stoopid penalty by Dallas. Brings back memories of that jackass Barton for us in the playoffs.
2 hand touch not allowed?
The Cowboys do what the Jets do, but with more flair.
2012 6th round pick with over 1,600 yards.

This past summer, the Knicks offered Stoudemire to nearly every team in the league — "available for free," as one rival executive put it. But they found no takers because of his diminished production, his health and his contract, which has three years and $65 million remaining (counting this season) and which is uninsured against a career-ending knee injury.
In February, the Knicks wanted to send Stoudemire to Toronto in a deal for Andrea Bargnani, a person briefed on the discussion said. But the proposal was vetoed by James L. Dolan, the Garden chairman, before it ever reached the Raptors (who would not have made the deal anyway, team officials there said). Before that, the Knicks tried to package Stoudemire and Chandler in a bid to land Dwight Howard.

Setting save file to read only
I would like to prevent changes made during a session from being saved for the next session. Since the saving does not prompt the user, will setting the file to read only help? I assume this will produce an error, atleast, so is there a more polite way to bypass this step during shutdown?

It might help if you told us how you're using Puppy (i.e., full install, frugal install, live CD with a save file on hd, etc.)
I would be remiss if I didn't point out that if you ran Puppy from a multisession DVD the answer to your question would be obvious.

There's a thread going on now about something similar. The main idea is to load Puppy ENTIRELY into ram, and optionally save back to the harddrive on shutdown (Puppy currently only loads the original files into ram, not the changes the user makes). I posted some files in it that let you modify a 4.00 install to behave this way, though they're far from properly tested, and require that you either have a frugal install or are willing to modify the iso and burn a new cd. There has also been at least one other method posted in the thread besides mine.
I think a multisession install would let you do this, but you'd have to either have a cd burner on the machine you want to use, or go to the thread I mentioned above and try that alternate method, the one Hairy Will posted, which lets you use multisession on the harddrive.
Another method would be to do (or trick Puppy into thinking you did) an install on flash media, then disabling the daemon that auto-saves periodically along with putting a dialog into the save-on-reboot to make it optional. Then the existing files in pup_save.2fs would be read from the drive normally, but any new ones would be stored in ram until you save. If you don't save, they are discarded.
Between depriving a man of one hour from his life and depriving him of his life there exists only a difference of degree. --Muad'Dib

I can't answer beyond the information in your query, which
is limited at best.
If the host file system is a Microsoft file system, I don't
think it supports the Linux attributes necessary to make
the pup_save file Linux read only.
Not knowing what type of file system you put your
pup_save file on, I certainly don't know if you could get to
first base with the idea of making it read only.
IF your pup_save file were on a Linux file system, you could
make it read only. AND IF the pup_save were on a hard disk,
it would not even boot IF read only.

I don't think an apology is in order unless you did something
wrong and I don't think you did.
Flash sticks are common places to put a pup_save file, but
when these devices are used, the most common file system
is FAT - thus throwing a wrench in the works, because who
knows how to set a file Linux read only on a FAT file system?
Thus specificity is required on your part to accomplish
testing your idea.
1) the feasibility of setting pup_save read only
2) the test run, will it work?
Anyway, I wanted to see the results of your question in my

How to prevent puppy to save any session changes
Subject description: How to make puppy boot from a fixed setup and not write to save files?
Hello everyone,
I been struggling to get any straight forward information on how to setup my puppy system to not write anything to the save files.
Here is the problem I am trying to solve:
My puppy system runs on a very small PC ebox that has flash IDE compact flash slot. Once the system is setup, there is no need for making and saving any changes to the flash drive.
The PC runs without a screen or keyboard and can be powered off any time. Hence, often it complains when rebooted that previous session was not properly saved.
I just want it to boot from a "read only" image, so it boot fresh every time even if the power was pulled without proper shutdown.
My application itself may need to save a running logfile every s often but I would rather choose the clean reboot every time over having to save a logfile if the system would have to be made completely read only.
Thanks so much for your help.

Just make a remaster that includes all the changes you need, and maybe disable the part that asks you to create a new savefile on shutdown. Then you don't need a savefile because your changes will be built in.
I can't help much with the actual usage of the remaster script as I never use it. I prefer Unleashed, but unless customizing it is a big long-term project Unleashed is going to be overkill for you. I can warn you that sometimes the remaster script won't include certain changes by default because it tries to make a hardware independent Puppy. So if that happens, there is a moment in the script where it lets you go into a directory in /tmp and manually add anything it missed in case you want to force it to work how you want.
The reason you might want to disable the prompt for creating a savefile is so it will shutdown faster and simpler, and so you don't accidentally creaete one. You can do that by modifying /etc/rc.d/rc.shutdown and changing the lines that look like this:
#first time booted puppy, there may not have been any persistent storage.
if [ $PUPMODE -eq 5 ];then #ifpupmode5
to be like this:
#first time booted puppy, there may not have been any persistent storage.
if [ $PUPMODE -eq 555 ];then #ifpupmode5
Puppy never sets $PUPMODE to 555, so that will never evaluate to true.
You have to make that change before remastering, of course, and make sure it's actually included.
If you want to have it save a log, you could tell it to mount the drive (if not already mounted) and save it to that, without a save file.
Between depriving a man of one hour from his life and depriving him of his life there exists only a difference of degree. --Muad'Dib

I know this is an old post but hopefully this hint still works.
I was looking at ways to making MacPup a non-persistent OS.
The idea was to only use a secure virgin system for online banking but with ability to store some data created during the session.

If that's a question, multisession Puppy is the answer.
Burn Puppy onto a DVD, preferably with Menu -> Multimedia -> Burniso2cd, to create a multisession DVD. Other burning programs, such as Pburn, can also burn a multisession DVD, but Burniso2cd is the simplest way for a beginner to make sure you get what you expect. Rewritable DVDs work fine.

@ Flash
Not so much a question but thanks for the suggestion.
A multisession DVD can work for me but still needs similar tweaking.
A vanilla puppy multisession dvd saves each session unless you explicitly select not too. This provides opportunity to alter the state of the OS and leaves a saved sessions trail. In turn this compromises the security objective.
I do not ever want to save a session, or even load a saved session.
Only want to work from a virgin OS set up specifically for a purpose and with ability to save some user generated data (eg to a user mounted FAT32 partition).
I'll stick with a USB pen drive as it is quicker, more transportable and can be partitioned. Past experience with multisession CD's also has not been without issues.
There is more info in another thread "How to turn off autosave for USB flash install" that helps me with all of this.

. Al-Qaida-linked radicals have been in the process of taking over Mali, and have had success in the northern half, where they imposed Islamic law.
The death of al-Qaida and likeminded terrorist organizations is highly exaggerated, and events in Africa prove it.
On Wednesday, a rogue leader of al-Qaida and his minions grabbed dozens of hostages in Algeria, a North African nation. The hostages were workers at a natural-gas field, and several were American.
On Friday, the fate of many of the hostages was unclear. The Associated Press reports that as many as 32 foreign workers in Algeria are unaccounted for. Reports also said Algerian soldiers killed some of the terrorists, while some hostages were somehow killed too. The fate of the Americans is unknown at this point.
The reason for the hostage grab was the recent French incursion in Mali, a west-central African nation and neighbor to Algeria. Al-Qaida-linked radicals have been in the process of taking over Mali, and have had success in the northern half, where they imposed Islamic law.
French officials were asked to help the existing Mali government. France and Mali have close ties, as France controlled Mali from the 1800s until 1960.
French troops and planes jetted in on Jan. 11, and before long, al-Qaida's allies throughout the world realized their most promising front was in real jeopardy. This is what caused the hostage crisis in Algeria, also home to a large number of al-Qaida militants.
The leader of the militants is someone al-Qaida doesn't really like, because he is also a thief, thug and kidnapper. His name is Moktar Belmoktar, and he is part of al-Qaida in the Islamic Maghreb.
The Islamic Maghreb is a wide area of Africa that stretches from Timbuktu (that's where Timbuktu actually is, in western Mali) to the Sudan, and from northern Africa to northern Nigeria. Obviously, African, European and U.S. officials cannot let al-Qaida take over this gigantic portion of Africa. The United States should not even tolerate al-Qaida finding a new haven there.
Despite the claim made repeatedly by the campaign of President Barack Obama last year that al-Qaida "was on the run" and decimated, its ranks have grown — in north Africa, far from Iraq and Afghanistan.
None of this is news to the State Department. On Sept. 11, 2012, radicals with some al-Qaida ties in Benghazi, Libya, attacked the U.S. consulate, killing the U.S. ambassador to Libya and three other U.S. citizens.
Throughout 2012, al-Qaida sympathizers fought with the government of Mali to take over that nation. When Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney brought up the growing security threat posed in Mali at one of the debates, he was ridiculed in some quarters. But now those chickens have come home to roost.
A new, bloodier chapter in northern Africa has been written by al-Qaida, and this time it could involve the deaths of American, Arabic, British and Japanese workers employed in Algeria.
Al-Qaida and radical Islamic terrorism is growing anew in northern Africa and it is time for the United States and its allies to act with more vigor. It is time for the president to present a plan to the American people and allies that will snuff out this threat in Africa before it grows into a larger threat to global security and stability.

Once belonging to my Grandmother, Margaret Becker, who lived in NJ 1896-1983, this matching pair of Fostoria SEASCAPE Handled Preserves were kindly identified today (9/3/2012) by Bill Banks, author of "Victorian Opalescent Glass". In his prompt response to my inquiry, he remarked, "Your items were made by a company called Fostoria. They are no longer in business. This manufacturing line was called Seascape. Both of your items are called Handled Preserves. The company shape number was: (#2685). They were made from 1954 -1957. The Blue Opalescent color was called Caribee Blue. The Pink Opalescent color was called Coral Sand. They are valued today at about $40 - $50 each in good condition." My Grandmother's grandparents were 1849 German immigrants whose land around Irvington NJ, was known as "Becker's Woods"; part of that land was developed in 1887, known as "Olympic Park", which was in operation until 1965. With deep appreciation to Mr. Banks, my family now has the information about these beautiful pieces that were for years, an Unsolved Mystery!

The following hypothetical consultation about Crohn's disease is presented for purposes of general information. If you think you have a similar condition, please see your primary care doctor to discuss your individual case and the exams and treatments that are best for you.
Doctor: Good Morning, how can I help you today?
Patient: Doctor, I'm coming to see you because I have had Crohn's disease for a long time, and my gastroenterologist seems to think that it may be time for surgery.
Doctor: How long have you had Crohn's disease?
Patient: It's been about ten years.
Doctor: Tell me what symptoms bother you the most about your disease?
Patient: I've had severe diarrhea on and off ever since I was diagnosed with this horrible disease. As if it is not bad enough to have to spend my life knowing at all times where the nearest bathroom is, I recently have been having miserable, cramping abdominal pain after eating, particularly when I eat food like fruits and vegetables, foods with a lot of roughage. Along with the pain, my belly blows-up. I haven't had vomiting, but it makes me feel nauseated and I am afraid throwing up is next. Because of this, I have lost five pounds over the last month. I don't want to eat anymore. It hurts too much.
Doctor: Have your doctors done any tests for these new problems?
Patient: Yes, they have done a small bowel x-ray series, a CT scan and a colonoscopy.
Physician reviews the films.
Doctor: Well, your x-rays show that you have the most common kind of Crohn's disease.
Patient: What is the most common kind of Crohn's disease?
Doctor: You have reached that point where you need to consider an operation. Crohn's disease affects all layers of the bowel, the inner lining called the mucosa, the middle layer called the muscular layer and the outer layer called the serosa. Crohn's disease most commonly occurs at the end of the small bowel where it joins the large bowel. That is where the X-rays show you are having your problem. After many years of recurrent episodes of disease, which we call inflammation, the small bowel thickens and the passageway for food gets smaller and smaller. Medicines help for awhile, but ultimately, the bowel wall begins to thicken and gets hard. Early in the disease, medicines can easily reduce inflammation and make you feel better. As times goes on, after many of these recurrent episodes, the bowel begins to harden like a piece of lead pipe. Once this process has reached a certain stage, that piece of bowel becomes obstructed, and will no longer allow foods to pass through. You intestinal tract gets plugged. We call this blocked or obstructed and you develop cramping and bloating, the condition where your stomach swells. I have seen this in many and I know how horrible this is.
Patient: What can be done about this problem?
Doctor: When medical therapy fails, surgery is the next step. Removal of that piece of "lead pipe" bowel can open or relieve the obstruction and make you feel better. We know that Crohn's disease cannot be cured by surgery. This is important for you to understand. Crohn's is a disease that occurs in the cells of your intestinal tract and it can affect your bowel anywhere from your lips to your rectum. Therefore, removing a piece of bowel does not cure the disease, it just removes that one particularly bad bowel segment. The disease can and often does come back. So, we no longer operate to try and "cure" this disease, but rather to deal with problematic symptoms, just like yours today. Particularly worrisome is your weight loss, which suggests that the disease has reached the point where you can not adequately nourish yourself.
Patient: What does an operation like this involve?
Doctor: Good question. I always begin these operations using minimally invasive techniques. In years past, we made a big incision to look inside your belly. Today I make small incisions and use endoscopes to look and microsurgical instruments to do the surgery. You go to the operating room and go to sleep with a general anesthetic. Then, I make three small incisions: one by your belly button, one just below your breastbone, and one just above your pubic bone. Using a lighted telescope and instruments placed through this ¼ inch small incision, I find and prepare the piece of diseased bowel that is causing your current symptoms. Next, I make an incision around your belly button, usually about a 1-1/2 inches,. Next, I move or pull the damaged bowel out through this incision, onto your abdominal wall.
Patient: You keep using the word abdominal. What does that mean?
Doctor: Sorry, that is the medical term for that part of your body that contains your stomach, your intestine, your liver and several other organs.
Patient: I always wondered what that meant. Anyway, what happens next?
Doctor: I then remove the damaged bowel and join the two ends back together and place them back inside your abdomen. When all this is finished, I close the small incisions, inject some medicine to reduce discomfort for the first 6-8 hours, and then the anesthesiologist wakes you up.
Patient: How long will I need to be in the hospital?
Doctor: You usually need to be in the hospital for 2-5 days. After this kind of abdominal surgery your intestinal tract stops working for several days. So we keep you in the hospital until your bowel function returns so you can take care of yourself when you go home.
Patient: How long will I need to be away from my normal activities like work and exercise?
Doctor: Most people need to restrict their normal activities for a week or two. Because you have an incision in your belly, I ask you not to lift heavy objects or participate in strenuous exercise for about 6 weeks.
Patient: When can I eat?
Doctor: You will be drinking fluids and eating soft foods at a week. You can begin to resume normal foods around two weeks, but probably will not be back to a normal diet for 3 weeks or so.
Patient: Are there risks to this kind of surgery?
Doctor: Yes there are, and I can tell you as much or as little as you want to know. All surgeries have risks. They include minor risks such as a stitch infection or taking longer than normal for your intestinal tract to begin working. There are more concerning risks such as infection, bleeding and scarring; problems that may require a return to the operating room and a longer hospital stay. Then there are the most serious risks. These include dying from the anesthesia or the surgery, reactive scarring in your abdomen with repeated small bowel obstructions, lung infections etc.
Patient: Well what are my chances?
Doctor: Without surgery your chances of doing well are essentially zero. With surgery 90 percent of patients do well, 10 percent do well but have some complication that prolongs the recovery and about 1 percent have a bad outcome.
Patient: I am told you are the best, but I am a little concerned that this is a teaching hospital. What does that actually mean?
Doctor: I appreciate the compliment. UC San Diego Health is a place where we teach medical students and future surgeons. They will help me look after you and will be a great source of comfort through your surgery. The surgical residents assist at surgery. This is how they learn. They may do pieces of the surgery, but always under my guidance. The bottom line is you not only have me caring for you but a whole team of doctors.
Patient: I like that. I am tired of not eating, so how do I get this surgery scheduled?
Doctor: My nurse will get the surgery scheduled. I look forward to caring for you.

My team and I (4 people all together) have come up with a social network concept that hasn't really been done before (not the way we want to do it) and are in a position to make it a reality with the help of an experienced developer/programmer.
It's a promising idea that has great potential to be very lucrative and right now creating the next big thing is our goal. Let's face it, facebook has run its course and twitter, instagram, and pintrest are at a peak and we want to use that as a backbone to create our network.
It is right now under wraps and can only be discussed on a NDA so if you are interested to know a little more please feel free to contact me at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Hi all,
I haven't had much to do with code since my computing science class in 2003. Needless to say, I'm pretty clueless.
I'm trying to incorporate a drop-down menu and a slider/accordion script and they're interfering with each other. I've done some searching and I know other people have had the same issue but I don't know enough to be able to apply their solutions to my problem.
This is what I have. How do I fix it?

Actor Ranveer Singh says he is excited to be working with Zoya Akhtar and his performance in the film will surprise everyone.
"I am super excited to work with Zoya as I believe she's one of the most talented directors in the industry. Moreover it's a part that really pushes me as an actor and gives me a chance to showcase an aspect of my performance that will surprise my fans," he said.
Ranveer plays the main lead in the film, which is reportedly titled 'Dil Dhadakne Do'.
Zoya's directorial venture will also have Priyanka Chopra, Anushka Sharma and Farhan Akhtar. There is buzz that Ranveer and Priyanka will play siblings, with Anushka and Farhan opposite them.
However, the actor's spokesperson clarified that there is no exclusivity clause in the (film) contract, as reported. There were reports that Zoya wanted to keep the look of Ranveer under wraps and so he signed a contract with the production house stating he will not shoot for any film until Zoya's film wraps up.
"He will be shooting for over 75-80 days of the total 90 day schedule of the film," spokesperson of the actor said.
Ranveer has also finally opened up to doing endorsements and has recently signed several A-list brands.
Zoya's film will reportedly be shot across Europe, Turkey, Spain, Italy and France.

CHILDCARE centre managers in the northern NSW city of Port Macquarie have asked why toddlers lives are put at risk each day.
They have called for Transport for NSW to take the same action as they have done with primary, high schools and even TAFE campuses across the country and adopt 40km/h speed zones.
The directors of three centres were at a loss as to why the areas were not included in the slower speed zones.
Director of Fernhill Road Preschool and Long Day Care Centre Julie Bellamy said it didn't make sense allowing faster travelling traffic around younger children.
"Children that come to day care are at that age where they can be unpredictable," she said.
"Something extra needs to be done, whether the speed limit's lowered, or speed humps or something similar is put in place."
Mrs Bellamy said the addition of the slower zones at day care centres would benefit everyone.
"Obviously it would make things safer for our young ones, but, it would also get them and the parents used to it for when they eventually do go to school," she said.
"Plus, a difference of 10km/h would have very little impact on drivers, but, would make a huge difference to the safety of kids."
Staff at Day Care on Lincoln agree with the sentiment and said they would also like to see more police in the area.
Carer at the centre, Emma Farthing, said motorists often speed through the area.
"We have strict regulations that children must be accompanied by adults when they are out the front," she said.
"But it's ridiculous how fast some people travel through here.
"All it takes is for a kid to run off all of a sudden."
Fellow director at the centre Kelly Ison said she would like to see a greater police presence.
"There's two centres down this way, surely they [police] could find time to do a quick check every now and then," she said. Owner of Bangalay Child Care Centre Jane Tink believes introducing the slower speeds around the centres held the utmost importance.
Mrs Tink believes so strongly in it she said requests to the then RTA were made years ago to lower the speed limit near the centre.
"But from memory we never heard back from them," she said. "At the very least there should be warning signs around to warn motorists there's children around.
"Besides, it really wouldn't hurt drivers to slow down just a little bit more."
Port Macquarie Police refused to comment.

Statement by Secretary of Labor Hilda L. Solis on 2012 youth employment
WASHINGTON Secretary of Labor Hilda L. Solis today issued the following statement regarding the Bureau of Labor Statistics' "Employment and Unemployment Among Youth Summary" released Aug. 21:
"As young Americans all across the country prepare to head into a new school year, I'm excited to say that many more will take with them lessons learned through summer jobs.
"Yesterday, the Bureau of Labor Statistics released its annual report on youth employment, and the numbers show that, while there's still work to be done, opportunities are growing for young people around the country. It's no secret that the effects of the 2007 recession had a significant impact on job prospects for youth, but today's report showed positive signs that job prospects for young people picked up pace in 2012.
"Between April and July of each year, the youth labor force (16- to 24-year-olds working or actively looking for a job) grows significantly, as a large number of students take on summer work and new graduates enter the job market. So July traditionally marks the peak of youth employment during the year.
"Yesterday's report shows that youth employment rose by 2.1 million between April and July 2012, with 19.5 million young people employed last month. That's up from 18.6 million a year ago. The youth unemployment rate showed a significant decline, falling to 17.1 percent down a percentage point from last year and two points from 2010. Meanwhile the share of young people employed in July 2012 climbed back up to 50.2 percent from its historic low last year.
"Youth employment increased across a wide variety of industries, including education and health services, manufacturing, transportation and utilities, but there remains much work to be done, especially within communities of color.
"While the labor force participation rate and employment-to-population ratios for African-Americans and Latinos all showed significant improvement from 2011 to 2012, both African-American (28.6 percent) and Latino (18.5 percent) youth continue to have a much higher unemployment rate than their white counterparts (14.9 percent).
"Earlier this year the president and I both took a stand for the importance of summer employment, launching our Summer Jobs+ initiative. By teaming up with committed businesses, nonprofits and cities around the country, this effort provided more than 300,000 summer job opportunities for low-income and disadvantaged youth, including more than 100,000 paid positions. Together we're helping young people across the country realize that there's no substitute for the real-world experience of work and no replacement for the dignity that comes with earning your first paycheck."

Probably drying out.
I don't think I'm giving away too much by saying he met a guy, he decided he liked it, and he put a ring on it.
A lot of that crowd are no longer around any more - Karen_Walker, MoePhoenix7, Jayden, Elvin.
They've been replaced by a new crowd with the same posting style - DigitalFudge, thatgirl, CupidBoy.
What shall we name them collectively as? I go for - 'Bitches with attitude - and class.'
Bitches with attitude, class - and gifs.
the funny thing is that i've had fall outs with karen walker and jayden. i still remember a year ago when i first started posting and i was rubbing people the wrong with my posts, jayden actually told me off about how i was acting and i went off on him. typed him like a 30 sentence essay about how he should keep his words to himself, how he couldn't stop me from saying whatever i was saying and whatever. i'd like to apologize to dude now for spazzing on him like that.
They've gone on to better things...
Probably just wondering around in her alias
come now, my child. if we were planning to harm you, do you think
we'd be lurking here beside the path in the darkest part of the forest?
I think Karen might be unhappy about that election.
I think Enchanted has fallen for her as some sort of weird professor substitute and they've minced off into the sunset together.

Boyfriend Devineil Brown, 25, banged on a neighbor's door around that time: He said he walked into the apartment and found the victim lying on the floor, a police source told the News. Except cops later grilled Brown and said he confessed to bashing in Woolfords head during a fight.
Brown has been charged with murder and criminal possession of a weapon. Woolford's family said the two had recently split after five years together, and Woolford "was in the process of finding his own apartment, Nahkia Williams said of her cousin. They had off-and-on problems, but I didnt think it was to that extent."
Woolford, who was a stylist, was described as generous and kind by coworkers. All he wanted to do was shop and do hair, stylist Nakia Ray told the News. He was put on this Earth to shop, look good and do hair. They always say God takes his angels back early." Friends and neighbors of Brown are in shock over the accusations: "[Brown] was always a good guy," Andrea Burch, who has known Brown since he was a child, told DNAInfo. "He was no troublemaker on the block. I'm just devastated." "

Last I heard (s)he was looking for a hotel in Chicago to celebrate his/her birthday. I hope (s)he hasn't left us for good. Some of his/her threads were actually kinda funny.
I was actually being serious. He met a guy. They're boffo in love. They're wearing rings. It's actually quite nice.

Final Fantasy XIV is preparing to launch its beta tests, but can your rig handle it? The answer is probably "of course it can" for most PC enthusiasts, but just in case you have your doubts Square Enix has released a benchmark test.
The test puts your PC through its paces and assigns it a score. You're aiming for 2,000 or higher, which means you can run the game on default settings. The scoring can go up beyond 7,000 though, giving you some bragging rights if your PC can run it at max settings without breaking a sweat. Square is also careful to note that this isn't a trial version of the game and doesn't grant access to the beta; for that, you'll have to sign up like everybody else.
