No surprise here. He could care less about the rule of law.
U.S. Adminstration In Contempt Over Gulf Drilling Moratorium, Judge Rules
By Laurel Brubaker Calkins - Feb 3, 2011 The Obama Administration acted in contempt by continuing its deepwater-drilling moratorium after the policy was struck down, a New Orleans judge ruled.
Interior Department regulators acted with determined disregard by lifting and reinstituting a series of policy changes that restricted offshore drilling, following the worst offshore oil spill in U.S. history, U.S. District Judge, Martin Feldman of New Orleans ruled yesterday.
Each step the government took following the courts imposition of a preliminary injunction showcases its defiance, Feldman said in the ruling.
Such dismissive conduct, viewed in tandem with the re-imposition of a second blanket and substantively identical moratorium, and in light of the national importance of this case, provide this court with clear and convincing evidence of the governments contempt, Feldman said.
President Barack Obamas administration first halted offshore exploration in waters deeper than 500 feet in May, after the explosion and sinking of the Deepwater Horizon drilling rig off the Louisiana coast led to a subsea blowout of a BP Plc well that spewed more than 4.1 million barrels of oil into the Gulf of Mexico.
Overly Broad
Feldman overturned the initial ban as overly broad on June 22, after the offshore-drilling industry and Gulf Coast political and business leaders challenged it. U.S. Interior Secretary Kenneth Salazar said later that day that he would issue a new order in the coming days that eliminates any doubt that a moratorium is needed, appropriate, and within our authorities.
In July, Salazar instituted a second drilling moratorium that was also challenged by an industry lawsuit claiming the ban was harming the Gulf Coast economy, which is heavily dependent on deepwater drilling activities. That ban was rescinded in October, before Feldman could rule on its validity.
Feldman later ruled that enhanced drilling safety rules Salazar imposed to permit companies to resume offshore exploration violated federal law, and he struck down those as well. Opponents of those rules complained to Feldman that regulators were continuing to block the resumption of drilling after Feldmans rulings.
Wyn Hornbuckle, a Justice Department spokesman, said the government is reviewing yesterdays ruling. He declined to comment further.
Informal Moratorium
The Offshore Marine Service Association, a group representing offshore service vessels and shipyards, urged the president to end what it called an informal moratorium on offshore drilling.
President Obama claims to have lifted the Gulf moratorium, yet not a single deepwater permit has been issued in nine months, Jim Adams, the associations president, said in a release after the ruling. As a result, thousands of workers are out of jobs, Americans are paying more for gasoline and heating oil, and our nation is becoming even more dependent on unstable nations for our energy needs.
Feldman also ordered the government to pay the legal fees of Hornbeck Offshore Services LLC, which filed the initial lawsuit. The company had described the fees as significant.
Hornbeck was put to considerable expense, after Judge Feldman issued the injunction, contending with the governments litigation posturing and defiance of the courts order, Sam Giberga, the companys general counsel, said today in an e-mail.
The government was not at liberty to impose its own will after the court struck down the policy, Giberga said. The government, like any citizen, had to obey the ruling, even if it didnt like it.
The case is Hornbeck Offshore Services LLC v. Salazar, 2:10-cv-01663, U.S. District Court, Eastern District of Louisiana (New Orleans).

Kickin' It With Colie!
$44,160 of $50k goal
Nicole Dennion is one amazing young woman and a sophomore forward on our Elon University women's soccer team. Around Elon, she goes by "Colie" but many of you probably know her as the 2013 Southern Conference Women's Soccer Player-of-the-Year! In mid-February, Colie noticed a small bump on the right side of her rib cage. This led her to the hospital for X-rays, a CAT scan that revealed a tumor, and ultimately a biopsy that officially diagnosed a cancer called Ewing's Sarcoma. Ewing's Sarcoma is a cancer of the bone, or soft tissue surrounding the bone, that typically is found in children and young adults. However, those of us that REALLY KNOW Colie are aware that cancer actually just caught a real bad case of Jersey redhead called NICOLE DENNION!
The last few weeks have been a whirlwind for Colie and her mother Sharon. She is in the process of withdrawing from her classes and moving back to New Jersey where she will receive treatment at the Fox Chase Cancer center in Philadelphia (about 45 minutes from her home). Nicole is just beginning her journey and we have set up this account to offset the numerous costs that are going to be associated with her relocation, living expenses, care, and travel. We all can't wait to see Colie back in uniform and out on the field again in the future. Thanks so much for your support of "Kickin' It With Colie!"
There will be a viewing this Thursday, November 10th 2016, from 6-9pm at Bordentown Home for Funerals (40 Crosswicks St, Bordentown, NJ 08505). The funeral will take place the following morning on Friday, time TBA, at St. Mary's Church (45 Crosswicks St, Bordentown, NJ 08505), located across the street from Bordentown Home for Funerals. As soon as we have a confirmation on the time we will update our "Kickin' It With Colie" page.
We love you so much Colie! - Elon Women's Soccer
It is time for some important news and an update on Colie. A lot has happened in the last few weeks since our last update. After much research and persistence by Colie, she has secured herself a spot in a clinical trial, conducted by the Sarcoma specialists group Sloan Kettering, to be conducted at Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston. The clinical trial will start ASAP. As a part of this trial, Colie will take two oral medications. One will be a chemo pill and the other is a PARP inhibitor. The PARP inhibitor is supposed to inhibit dead cancer cells from regenerating and growing inside of her body while the chemo pills will kill the live cancer cells that have spread to other parts of her body. She will be on a "one week on" and "two week off" cycle with scans after each of the first two cycles. Colie is very optimistic with the opportunity that this clinical trial brings her. She and her mother Sharon will be burning up the highway back and forth between New Jersey and Massachusetts until the trial is complete.
In addition to participating in this very important clinical trial, Colie will also be back on campus this weekend for the Elon University Relay For Life event. On Friday, April 22nd, Colie will be the guest speaker during the 11:30pm time slot at the event to be held on the Francis recreational fields. We hope to see you there!
Another big date is Saturday, May 21st. This is the day that Colie will graduate from Elon University with a degree in Exercise Science!
Thanks again to all of you from the bottom of our hearts! Much love - Elon Women's Soccer
We wanted to give you an update on Colie. The results of this past summer's stem cell transplant were positive until a scan in December. That scan unfortunately showed that the tumor in her lung had grown and that the cancer had also spread to her lymph nodes. Colie is currently having inpatient chemotherapy every 4 weeks in a effort to slow the cancer growth down. She is also seeking 2nd opinions about her condition as well as seeking more information and joining wait lists for experimental clinical trials.
With all of that being said, this amazing young woman is on track to graduate from Elon University this May with a degree in Exercise Science. Colie is completing her last 3 courses online this spring. Elon's athletic academic staff and professors have been very helpful with the logistics of achieving this goal. What a tremendous accomplishment.
In her "spare" time, Colie has been working as a Physical Therapist's aide and coaching a U12 girls club soccer team and in her words she "LOVES IT!"
With love,
Elon Women's Soccer
Currently, the tumors have stopped responding to the chemo regime she was doing throughout the spring. Therefore, her doctor's prescribed a different treatment and she received a stem cell transplant in July. On Aug 25th, she had a PET scan that showed that the mass in between the lobes of her lung had shrunk while the other smaller mass had shrunk and appeared to be dead. Her doctor prescribed 6 weeks off until the next PET scan which is scheduled for Oct. 5th. Colie will see her doctor on Oct. 9th. Right after the Oct. 9th doctor's appointment, she will be hustling to Elon for her Senior Weekend celebration and she is very excited to see everyone and to be there for two Elon women's soccer home games! Thanks again for all of your love and support for Colie!
Beautiful girl you can fight this :)
Sweet girl- I live in NC and came across your story. I am a Ewing's survivor.. I had it when I was 16 and I just turned 34. Will be praying for you and your family. You got this!
Please everyone, let's get on board and help Nicole Dennion out in her victory over Ewing's Sarcoma. A strong young woman like Nicole will certainly win a fight like this but not without our support. Please help as much as you can.

I think it was a repeat, by I saw the Indiana Jones special on EW this weekend. It got me really excited (you know, the good type of excited) not only for the future sequel but also the possibility for a DVD set.
I know Lucasfilm put together a VHS four pack a couple of years ago (all three films plus one Young Indy Episode). Has anybody heard anything about a DVD set coming out? I would imagine it could take sometime knowing the Lucas has a busy schedule and that he wants to control all the production details. Next to the Classic Trilogy, this would be my top choice for a DVD set.

I seem to be stuck in a 1 week per diary entry. Well, I was supposed to be in LA from last Saturday to today, but the trip got canned. I was very happy to get to stay home.
JabberIM and WinJab are still progressing at "internet" speeds, much to the dismay of my normal sleep habits. Thanks goes out to 'eff' who helped me get file transfers working really slick in WinJab using the direct client- client method. We are still working on Firewall stuff. After much deliberation over the past week, we've finally hammered out a "temporary" vCard XML spec to use with Jabber. Phew, it was a major production to get everyone on the same page, and "sort-of" agree with the IETF Draft.
Work is absolutely insane. Besides my normal stuff (Vantek Software, and 3D-Workshop), I just found out we got 2 more measurement / automation contracts. One is small and easy, the other is not. I can see my summer free time being sucked away like a super-nova into a black-hole. <sigh> I finally decided to scrap Quicktime off of my computer today hoping I could get rid of the idiotic Quick-Time plugin that was being used to display PNG files in IE5. Well, its gone, and PNG's render fine inside of html pages, but by themselves, the situation is about as automatic as my 5- Speed transmission. Soon I think I might just nuke my HD and install W2K.. or maybe I'll just tough it out until SP1 :)
I work a Koinonia weekend this weekend with a good friend of mine. It should be really fun. Play lots of music, do some chapels, etc.. It'll be a nice get-away from the computer world for a few days.
My sister, who works at New Horizons, called today and told me one the horses she co-owns as sort of investment broke it's NECK yesterday. It's still alive, but they aren't sure whats going to happen. She is really bummin', as this was a money making deal for her. It's really shocking news, we both have been around the horse industry for a long time, and this is the first time I've heard of one breaking its neck. Bizzare.
My back still hurts, but seems to be getting better.. Hopefully it's recovery, and warmer temperatures will coincide so I can start climbing outdoors soon!

About Jeff Masters
Cat 6 lead authors: WU cofounder Dr. Jeff Masters (right), who flew w/NOAA Hurricane Hunters 1986-1990, & WU meteorologist Bob Henson, @bhensonweather
By: Dr. Jeff Masters , 8:40 PM GMT on July 23, 2010
Tropical Depression Bonnie is nearing the end of its traverse of South Florida, and passage over land has significantly disrupted the small storm. Satellite images show almost no heavy thunderstorms near Bonnie's center of circulation, and the center is now exposed to view. Radar-estimated rainfall from the Key West radar shows that Bonnie dumped very little rain on South Florida--maximum rainfall amounts from the storm were about four inches over a small region southwest of Miami. Water vapor satellite loops show that Bonnie is embedded in a large area of dry air, thanks to an upper level low to the west over the Gulf of Mexico. This low has brought an increasing amount of wind shear to Bonnie today, and shear has increased from 20 knots this morning to 25 knots this afternoon. Surface observations in South Florida currently don't show any tropical storm force winds. Bonnie's top winds today were at Fowey Rocks, which had sustained winds of 46 mph, gusting to 53 mph, at 10:45 am EDT.

Track Forecast for Bonnie
The latest set of model runs from 8am EDT (12Z) are very similar to the three previous sets of runs, and this degree of consistency gives me confidence that Bonnie will stay within the cone of uncertainty depicted on the track forecast images. The projected track will take Bonnie over the oil spill region, and the storm's strong east to southeasterly winds will begin to affect the oil slick on Saturday morning. Assuming Bonnie doesn't dissipate over the next day, the storm's winds, coupled with a likely storm surge of 2 - 4 feet, will drive oil into a substantial area of the Louisiana marshlands. However, the current NHC forecast has Bonnie making landfall in Louisiana near 9pm CDT Saturday night. According to the latest tide information, this will be near the time of low tide. This will result in much less oil entering the Louisiana marshlands than occurred during Hurricane Alex in June. That storm brought a storm surge of 2 - 4 feet and sustained winds of 20 - 30 mph that lasted for several days, including several high tide cycles. The latest oil trajectory forecasts from NOAA (Figure 2) predicts potential oil impacts along a 150-mile stretch of Louisiana coast on Sunday.
Figure 2. Oil Trajectory forecast for Sunday for the Deepwater Horizon oil spill. Image credit: NOAA.
Intensity Forecast for Bonnie
Bonnie has been disrupted by its passage over land, and it will take at least six hours for the storm to reorganize once it moves over the warm waters of the Gulf of Mexico tonight. This process will be hindered by the large upper-level low to its west. If the low remains in its present location, relative to Bonnie, it will bring high wind shear of about 20 - 30 knots to the storm. This will allow for only slow intensification, or may even destroy Bonnie. Bonnie is unlikely to intensify to more than a 50 mph tropical storm, and I give a 30% chance it will dissipate over the Gulf of Mexico before making landfall. The GFDL model predicts Bonnie could hit the Gulf Coast as a 50 mph tropical storm, but the other major models such as the HWRF, GFS, ECMWF, and NOGAPS show a much weaker storm. I don't give Bonnie any chance of becoming a hurricane. NHC is putting the odds of Bonnie being a hurricane at 2 pm Saturday at 4% (5pm advisory.)
If you are wondering about the specific probabilities of receiving tropical storm force winds at your location, I recommend the wind probability product from NHC. The latest probabilities of various locations getting tropical storm force winds, 39 mph or higher, from the 5pm EDT advisory:
Buras, LA 30%
New Orleans 28%
Mobile, AL 37%
Pensacola, FL 30%

Saving the Bay through education, advocacy, litigation, and restoration.
Staff from Under Armour and students from two local schools set oyster cages at a local dock. Photo by CBF Staff
Oysters are the Chesapeake Bay's best natural filters. They also provide essential habitat for fish and other Bay creatures. Unfortunately, though, today's oyster population is estimated at only two percent of its original level. The Chesapeake Bay Foundation's Oyster Gardening Program gives people the opportunity to help bring back this vital species by growing oysters alongside their docks. Once grown, the adult oysters are returned to the Chesapeake Bay Foundation for planting on sanctuary reefs.
Want to become an oyster gardener? Sign our volunteer registration form and someone will get back to you soon. Looking for more information about CBF's oyster gardening program? Send an e-mail to email@example.com.
See oyster gardening in action with this video from nbcwashington.com
This video by Gillian Ray tells the story of 15-year-old oyster gardener Jamie Attanasio
Oysters can be grown from a private dock, community pier, marina, waterfront business, friend or neighbor's dock, etc. Read our faq for additional information about which areas have appropriate salinity for growing oysters.
Workshops and spat pick-ups are held in the late summer and early fall, due to the seasonal availability of hatchery-produced oyster seed. Check the current workshop schedule and spat pick-up schedule.

Princeton at top of U.S. News college rankings
Posted August 18, 2006; 12:15 a.m.
The annual college ranking by U.S. News & World Report again has listed Princeton University as the top school for undergraduate students.
Princeton ranked No. 1 in "U.S. News 2007 America's Best Colleges" in the category Best National Universities, a position achieved every year since 2000. Princeton also was No. 1 for students graduating with the least debt and ranked No. 3 for best value.
"We are pleased that our commitment to providing the highest quality undergraduate education continues to be recognized, and in particular that our innovations in financial aid continue to be highlighted," Princeton officials said.
In recent years, Princeton has served as the model for financial aid reforms, launching sweeping initiatives to make a Princeton education even more affordable, including replacing loans with grants that do not have to be repaid so that undergraduates can graduate debt free. More than half of the undergraduate student body is on financial aid, and almost 55 percent of the incoming class will receive aid.
U.S. News placed Princeton in the top 25 for national universities with the greatest economic diversity. Additionally, the University was recognized in the unranked category "First-year Experiences" among universities offering programs that routinely give freshmen an opportunity to connect with faculty.
"It's important to note that no methodical ranking can capture an institution's individual distinctiveness," Princeton officials said. "We encourage students to explore the many outstanding educational opportunities available to them to identify their best match, and one of the best ways to do this is by visiting campuses in person whenever possible."

Hey all,
In the absence of any CE3K UFO merchandise or kits, I am making my own UFOs from resin casts. However, I need some reference pics (don't have a DVD ) of the smaller UFOs.
They will be AF-sized and lit with the Superbright LEDs to give the effect they have in the film of not haing much substance when seen. However, I've not had much luck online and the Replica Prop Builders have offered a bit of advice, but I wondered if any of you guys could help out.

Add something spicy to your family's Mexican cuisine night. Enjoy this ground beef casserole packed with pinto beans and salsa – a cheesy meal!
10-inch skillet; 2-quart baking pan or casserole
For 18 grams of fat and 465 calories per serving, substitute ground turkey for the beef and reduced-fat Cheddar cheese for the Monterey Jack cheese.
For a flavor with more zip, use Monterey Jack cheese with jalapeño peppers or, as it's also known, pepper Jack cheese.
To spice up the flavor, next time try a higher spice level of salsa. If it is too hot, cool it with sour cream. Salsa comes in mild, hot and extra-hot.
Rinse and drain the beans in a strainer. Rinsing canned beans results in a cleaner taste and can reduce digestive problems.

excellent, excellent, excellent. used extra sharp white cheddar, a bit more cornstarch than mentioned per previous reviews, ALL butter (no shortening) and 5 Pink Lady variety apples. fantastic flavor, perfect amount of cheese, not too much sugar - wonderful for those who appreciate the savory/sweet juxtaposition in flavor.
Tasty, wanted to try something different than the standard apple pie. The cheese was interesting but not sure it's worth the added calories. Crust was flavorful and flaky. Filling needed additional cornstarch. Didn't need the deep dish pan, used regular 9" and had no problems.
I love the apple pie recipe, beside the recipe that I tried at this blog http://piewar.blogspot. com/
no comment
Will have to modify this recipe some for the future. The crust was beautiful, rolled easily, very elastic, but became somewhat leathery the second day. Used organic Granny Smith apples and they were a bit too juicy, will add more corn starch or flour next time. It could use a bit of spice, my boyfriend suggested cinnamon, I might also try a touch of cayenne in the future.
The crust was excellent, however, I didn't add the cornstarch, used granny and gala apples and I also had to add in cinnamon.
The crust was incredibly yummy; I used a good quality sharp white cheddar. Several here felt the filling needed a kick and I agree that the filling in the November 1996 recipe is superior. I omitted the raisins, macerated the apples in lemon juice, and used cornstarch, cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger. The edge of my crust burned a bit in spite of covering with aluminum foil - any tips on this? I figure the cheese factor as well as my imperfect rolling out of the pate brisee were at fault. Nevertheless, delicious!
I pureed this pie with some vanilla ice cream to the consistency of salad dressing and used it for a dipping sauce for Jalapeno Poppers -- delicious!
Eh, would be my description of this pie. I used sharp cheddar and could still hardly taste it. The filling was a little bland. I had no trouble with the crust. It was really flaky but the whole pie took much longer to cook than the recipe stated. I think I will go back to my usual pie. This was too much work for a less than stellar product.

Why BioWare's Star Wars MMO May Already Be Too Late 328
Since the announcement of Star Wars: The Old Republic, many gamers have been hopeful that its high budget, respected development team and rich universe will be enough to provide a real challenge to the WoW juggernaut. An opinion piece at 1Up makes the case that BioWare's opportunity to do so may have already passed. Quoting: "While EA and BioWare Austin have the horsepower needed to at least draw even with World of Warcraft though, what we've seen so far has been worryingly conventional — even generic — given the millions being poured into development. Take the opening areas around Tython, which Mike Nelson describes in his most recent preview as being 'rudimentary,' owing to their somewhat generic, grind-driven quest design. Running around killing a set number of 'Flesh Raiders' in a relatively quiet village doesn't seem particularly epic, but that's the route BioWare Austin seems to be taking with the opening areas for the Jedi — what will surely be the most popular classes when The Old Republic is released. ... the real concern, though, is not so much in the quest design as in BioWare Austin's apparent willingness to play follow the leader. Whenever something becomes a big hit — be it a movie, game or book — there's always a mad scramble to replicate the formula; in World of Warcraft's case, that mad scramble has been going for six years now. "

I have been living buried in books and writing classes... as an added note I must say that it is rather scary when you start dreaming and all you can see within your dreams is words floating everywhere!

Operation GratitudeSubmitted by mupt02 on Mon, 2016-08-22 15:07
Operation Gratitude is an organization that sends letters and care packages to our active duty and veteran service members. Since they started in 2003, they have sent over 1.5 million care packages.
This September and October, we are asking our chapters to get together and write letters for these care packages. Everyone can help - even the kids! Plan a get together or two, bring some paper, and have fun. Turn it into a pot luck, coffee date, or monring at the park. The possibilities are endless.
Let's see how many letters The Mommies Network can send.

The Princeton Shakespeare Company is one of the 300 student organizations registered at Princeton and one of 14 student theater groups. The organizations explore topics as varied as music and dance, politics and debate, service and social activities, and ethnicity and religion. Founded in 1994, the Princeton Shakespeare Company dedicates itself to producing three to four Shakespearean works each year and to integrating Shakespeare's works into student life using workshops, readings, guerrilla theater and other entertaining events. Here, they performed "The Complete Works of William Shakespeare: Abridged!," a romp through the immortal works of the Bard in 90 minutes, during Reunions in 2007. (Photo: Denise Applewhite)

Student organizations explore South Asia to Shakespeare
Posted February 2, 2009; 08:27 a.m.
Since the earliest days of the University, student organizations have helped students pursue existing interests and explore new ones. There currently are some 300 registered student organizations in the areas of music and dance, politics and debate, service and social activities, and ethnicity and religion.
• The oldest student organization is the American Whig-Cliosophic Society, which also is the nation's oldest college political, literary and debating society. The Cliosophic Society was founded in 1765 and the American Whig Society was founded in 1769. The two organizations merged in 1928.

• There are 23 service-related groups, including Princeton Disability Awareness, which promotes understanding and acceptance of disabled people through events such as its conference for families with children with Down syndrome.
• Business Today is one of the 39 publishing, creative writing and journalism organizations. The largest student-run publication in the country, Business Today was co-founded by Steve Forbes while he was an undergraduate in 1968 and recently released its 40th anniversary issue. The magazine is published twice a year and is distributed to more than 125,000 college students.
• There are 41 ethnic groups, including the Arab Society of Princeton, the Singapore Society and the Ukranian Alliance. Eleven student religious organizations represent the Christian, Baha'i, Hindu, Jewish and Muslim faiths.
Environmental organizations include Greening Princeton, which helped establish the University farmers' market that takes place each spring and fall on Firestone Plaza. (Photo: John Jameson)
• The 14 theater groups include the improvisational comedy troupe Fuzzy Dice, Princeton Chinese Theater, Princeton Shakespeare Company and Triangle Club, the oldest touring collegiate musical comedy troupe.
• Greening Princeton, which helped establish the University farmers' market, is one of five environmental organizations.
• Twelve new student groups were approved in the fall 2008 semester including the Muggle Quidditch Team, which organizes games of Quidditch based on the fictional sport from the "Harry Potter" series of books; Emerge, which leads efforts to increase awareness about international development; Legend Dragon Dance Company, which performs the traditional Chinese art of dragon dance; and the Vehicle Design Summit, for students interested in creating an environmentally friendly vehicle. Requests to create new student groups are reviewed and approved by the Undergraduate Student Government's Student Group Recognition Committee.

SASA collaborated with the Muslim Students Association, Princeton Hindu Satsangam and the Pakistani student group Pehchaan to organize the event featuring South Asian cuisine, music and dancing. Diwali is a harvest festival often considered to be the Hindu New Year. Eid is the Muslim holiday that marks the end of Ramadan, the Islamic holy month of fasting. (Photo: Bentley Drezner)
• Several student groups from Princeton's early days no longer exist, among them the Banjo Club and the Mandolin Club, which often performed together; the Temperance Club, which asked students to take a one-year pledge to refrain from alcohol; and the Parachute Club, which required participants to sign a waiver absolving the club of any liability.
For interested students, a directory of these organizations and their contacts is posted on the Office of the Dean of Undergraduate Students website.
The Mandolin Club is among the student organizations from Princeton's early days that no longer exists on campus. This 1888 photo shows members of the club, which included a harpist as well as mandolin players. They often performed concerts with the Banjo Club, another student organization from Princeton's past.

Bruins cannot close out Blue Jackets
|01.21.10 at 10:02 pm ET
Summary — The Bruins dropped a heartbreaker to the Columbus Blue Jackets, as they watched a 2-1, third-period lead disintegrate into a 3-2 loss in front of a packed house at the TD Garden. The Jackets' R.J. Umberger tipped an Anton Stralman blast from the point past Bruins goalie Tuukka Rask with a little more than a minute left in the game.
Michael Ryder struck the first blow in the game off an open-ice dish from Trent Whitfield to give the Bruins an early 1-0 advantage in the first. Columbus struck back later in the period when Raffi Torres intercepted a weak clearing pass from defenseman Dennis Wideman and crossed to Chris Clark, who beat Rask with a slap shot from the high slot.
Boston outplayed the Blue Jackets in the second period and took the lead when Patrice Bergeron split a pair of defenders with a shot that beat Steve Mason low on the glove side. It looked like the Bruins were going to make the goal stand until Antoine Vermette busted down Rask's door in the middle of the third to tie the game.
Three Stars
Steve Mason — Outside of the Umberger game-winner, Mason was the difference for the Blue Jackets on the night. He showed flashes of his former self from the 2008-09 season and was pivotal in stopping a plethora of B's scoring chances in the first and second period and finished the game with 32 saves on 34 shots.
Antoine Vermette — The Bruins were never safe or comfortable when the Jackets' first-line center was on the ice. He scored the tying goal and had a power-play goal disallowed (kicking) in the second period.
Patrice Bergeron — The Bruins' points leader played a good all-around game and gave the Bruins the lead in the second period. The goal was his 12th of the year and added to his team high 32 points on the year.
Turning Point
The play that set up the Umberger game-winner was a phantom double-minor high-sticking penalty on Milan Lucic at the 18:29 mark in the third. Lucic was driving from the corner to the net when he was called for the penalty, setting up the power play. Columbus scored 15 seconds later after a timeout to break the Bruins' back.
Key Play
Late in the second period, the Blue Jackets were on their first power play of the game when it appeared that Vermette had beaten Rask with with a dribbling puck when the goaltender was out of position. Rask immediately protested that the puck had gone off of Vermette's skate and the officials reviewed the play. It turned out that Vermette had indeed kicked the puck into the goal with his back skate and the goal was disallowed because of the center's "distinct kicking motion." The Bruins would eventually lose the lead, but the play kept the advantage on their side until the final half of the third.

Note to Self: Dude, You Don't Need FLAC; gPodder WTF?
Sure, disk space is cheap. But backing up gigabytes of data is a royal drag. But I'm finding that if the MP3 is of high-enough quality (by this I'm thinking whatever
lame --preset extreme excretes out in hot-and-steamy MP3 bits) I don't mind. Additionally, I'm tired of fighting with devices that don't understand OggVorbis or FLAC—like the in-dash media player in my car. That's just not a battle worth fighting. MP3 has won, another case of a technically inferior standard achieving supremacy via overwhelming network-effects. So, it's time to sweep the drive and downcode FLAC to MP3.
How to do this? Well, flac -dc FILENAME.flac | lame --preset extreme - -o FILENAME.mp3 is the recipe of the moment. That's one itch scratched, the next one is more complicated.
gPodder ← ಠ_ಠ
gPodder has really gotten on my bad-side of recently with broken releases. I tried going to Miro which didn't work well anymore (like it used too) and even iTunes for a bit. No happy. Not at all. I'm a victim of my want of simple-UNIX-like-tools-that-do-just-one-thing-well. When it comes to agents that perform work for you on their own, they're awful with syndicated media downloads. I'm this far (||) away from considering using
cron and
wget and bailing wire to download the media. Somehow. Take the "Back to Work" podcast for example:
# remove the old copy of the RSS file rm back2work # grab the feed wget http://feeds.feedburner.com/back2work # gank out the last three episodes and # download if not seen before. grep enclosure back2work |head -3| \ cut -d '"' -f 2|xargs wget -nc
At least for now, that's a version-0 idea of what I want done. Just the files, downloaded. For now, there's no setup or configuration and I haven't decided where this is going to happen on the computer yet.

The perfect gift for any art enthusiast:Memberships start at just $85.
DANA MILLER: The Rose is DeFeo's landmark painting. She spent almost eight years working on it, from 1958 to 1966. When she began the work she had really no notion of what she was going to make. She said the only thing she knew was that she was going to create a painting that had a center. That's what she began with.
She would apply paint using palette knives and trowels, and build it up in this very, very extensive manner and then carve it back and shape it.There were days where she would walk into the studio in the morning and the paint had shifted overnight. While she had been happy with what it looked like when she left the evening before, it had been completely ruined in the course of gravity shifting the paint just because of the thick application.
She would have to, in some cases, scrape it all the way back and start over. It was a sum of its destructions in many ways.
NARRATOR: Jay DeFeo in 1988.
JAY DEFEO: It reached really final stages. You know, kind of like a whole cycle of art history. It went through a primitive, archaic, classic, and all on up to baroque and then I realized how kind of flamboyant the whole concept had gotten and I kind of pulled it back to a more classical stage. All of those stages were rather complete and interesting in themselves but just not what the final version was, what I intended. And I suppose, I don't know whether it would have all gone on, on one canvas if I'd had the kind of studio that it could have spread itself out in a little bit. But I just had one big painting wall.
NARRATOR: DeFeo didn't actually hang The Rose on a wall—she set it inside the large bay window in her studio, so the light came in from the two narrow windows on either side of the painting. This raking light was essential to the formation and the appearance of the painting, and we've worked to approximate that lighting in this exhibition. Please tap your screen to hear more about the way DeFeo used her studio space while making The Rose.

LiverKick.com Exclusive Interview with Glory's Pierre Andurand
- Written by Dave Walsh
It takes more than just passion to create a successful Kickboxing promotion, sadly. If all it took was passion, I'd be running a Kickboxing organization that is without rival and would leave people in awe. No, it takes more than just passion, it takes a lot of things, with one of the most important pieces of the puzzle being money. When Glory Sports International was announced, it was clear they were embarking on the daunting journey of creating a whole new brand in a sport that has been dominated by one brand for almost twenty years now. The organization is bolstered by members of the Golden Glory team as well as the Total Sports Asia team, with one other big piece of the puzzle coming into the picture in the form of superstar investor Pierre Andurand. Pierre not only brings with him success as an investor, funding and business sense, but he also brings with him pure passion for the sport.
LiverKick.com caught up with Mr. Andurand to discuss his move into the Kickboxing world as well as what fans should be on the lookout for from Glory.
LiverKick: So you are best known for running BlueGold, an oil-oriented hedge fund, and helping to run a Kickboxing empire is a vast departure from that. What prompted you to invest in the sport of Kickboxing?
Pierre Andurand: Yes indeed it is a very different project. But being good at investing/trading is mainly about recognising good opportunities and understanding risk and reward. I think the sport of kickboxing has a lot of potential, actually, more than the other combat sports (MMA, boxing, wrestling, etc.). It is fast, technical, and very exciting. So far no organisation managed to exploit its true potential. I closed BlueGold in April this year for other reasons, and right now I am 100% focused on getting the right vision, the right team, and the right partners in GLORY. I do believe by the end of the year GLORY will not need my involvement on a full-time basis anymore, and I'll just take a step back and let the team run the organisation, even though I will still oversee it and make sure we go in the right direction. I will remain involved in major decisions to some extent, but I will not be running the company. I am I think the right person to understand the potential, and to put the right pieces together, but I would not be the right person to run it on a day by day basis. We are putting a world-class team together.
LK: We understand that you are a big fan of Kickboxing, tell us a bit about how you got into Kickboxing; like which event was the first one that really made you a fan, which fighters caught your eye at first.
PA: I started practising martial arts about 10 years ago when I was living in Asia. I did some Muay Thai, then Shaolin Wushu, and then Muay Thai again and kick boxing. I started watching it on TV actively in 2005. The first big event I watched was the K1 WGP final in 2005. I was then hooked. It was such a great event. I love the tournament format. I was very impressed by Semmy Schilt, the way he destroyed his opponents with such ease. I was scared for them. They really looked like they didn't have a chance. People say he has an unfair advantage being so tall, but they don't realise that he is incredibly fast and precise for his height too, and very technical. He clearly is the man to beat, still today. I also loved Remy Bonjasky's style, in and outside of the ring.
LK: Who do you feel is the best Kickboxer of all-time? How about the best active Kickboxer right now?
PA: In Heavyweight, clearly Semmy Schilt, best active, and best of all-time. But Peter Aerts is also a legend, and one of the very select few who managed to beat Semmy. I am very impressed by his heart and longevity. He was at the top of the sport from 17 years old to 42 years old. He's very unique in that way. I think he can still be one of the very best. Remy Bonjasky is also a legend. And in 70kilos max, Ramon Dekkers is I think the best of all-time. Right now the best active kickboxer in 70 kilos is Giorgio Petrosyan. He is so talented, precise, fast and technical, it is a real treat to watch him fight. He shows that this sport is an art. He makes a fight look like a dance.
LK: What is the one fight that you feel is the biggest in the Heavyweight division and in the 70kg division right now?
PA: I think Semmy Schilt vs Daniel Ghita in Heavyweight, and Petrosyan vs Van Roosmalen in 70kgs.
LK: So what exactly is your role/title and responsibilities within the Glory Sports International organization? Can you give us some insight into the organizational structure of Glory Sports International?
PA: I am the Chairman of the Board of Directors and I am the majority investor. My responsibilities are mainly to set the vision, help build the right team, find the right partners for GSI, and oversee things at a high level. It is already a large team, but it is still work in progress. So far Marcus Luer, CEO of Total Sports Asia is the Managing Director of GSI. The Golden Glory management team: Bas Boon, Cor Hemmers, Martijn De Jong and Bert Van Der Ryd are part of the team. Simon Rutz and Remon Daalder from It's Showtime are also part of the team. Simon and Bert will work in production. Cor, Bas, Remon, Martijn will work on matchmaking, scouting, developing new talents, developing gym franchise, basically everything that has to do with the sport itself. We also have many other people involved in marketing, media etc…
LK: The Glory World Series has already started for the 70kg class, yet the purchase of It's Showtime and many of their fighters transferring to Glory puts you in an odd spot. Do you plan on integrating some of these fighters into the Glory World Series tournament somehow, or will they have to wait until next year?
PA: Some of them will be integrated in super fights events right away, and then in the next tournaments. We intend to do two tournaments per year per weight category, and 6 super fight events next year. We will also add other weight categories over time. So you can expect 10 events in 2013, and 13+ in 2014 onwards.
LK: Can you tell us what fighters that you know for sure have carried over into Glory?
PA: I can't say it for now, as it's still work in progress. But I'm confident we will end up with all the very best fighters in the world eventually.
LK: Do you feel that the US market is a viable one for Kickboxing and for Glory?
PA: Definitely. It is going to be about having the right approach, and using the right marketing strategy. I'm very confident in the product. I think it could become the most popular fighting sport in the US in 3 years time.
LK: Lastly, where do you envision Glory Sports International heading in five years?
PA: I envision GLORY becoming an iconic brand that most people will know about. The aim is to bring the sport of kickboxing to the next level, with fighters and fans from all over the world. We also want to broaden the fan base, and bring great entertainment and glamour to the sport. I could see it becoming a multi-billion dollars company within 5 years.

Here at MyCorporation, we're busy prepping for the end of the year and looking forward to what 2014 will bring for small businesses and entrepreneurs. But while our prep involves helping to file delayed filings or incorporating or forming LLCs for small businesses, we're curious to see how other companies are closing out 2013. Today, we have 24 small business professionals giving us a look at what they're working on for their brands and their biggest business tips on how to close out the end of the year!
1. "Make a resolution to focus on one social media platform. Social media is not going away and it's time for small business to step up."
– Lisa McTigue, Social Media Expert, LisaMcTigue.com
2. "We are making sure all inventory is in stock and organized, all marketing materials ready to go and short lead press releases being sent to appropriate parties. We look forward to a successful holiday season!"
– Sally Goodgold, Founder, WarmTradition.com
3. "At year end, I always check in with everyone who was interested to hire us during the year but didn't. Many times companies find "use it or lose it funds" on the books at the end of the year and if you hit the timing right, they may just reopen the conversation where you left off before and have you invoice them in December to get the found money off the books. Then you can start the new year strong with motivated clients who will return your calls fast since they have already paid you!"
– Paige Arnof-Fenn, Founder and CEO, Mavens & Moguls

- Description
The Naica Cave or la Cueva de los Cristales Gigantes.
Located next to a mine in the town of Naica, Chihuahua in Mexico.
Although not created using the Gigapan Imager (we only had the beta version at the time and we were worried the 90% humidity of the cave would damage it) we thought it desereved to be showcased here.
The cave is inaccessible to the public, please enjoy the image.
The stitching is not perfect, but we think its worth while to post.

Ever since I saw the first surface GigaPans in Naica I've been expecting this one. Congratulations on an excellent image. I know this one's going to get a lot of mileage in my geology classes. Thanks!

Found the Joker DCU for my buddy today. Also spotted Supes (blue suit) from wave 6, but passed as I have plenty of Superman figures from the DC Superheroes line.
"Woke up at 9.55am. Soon as I woke up, I looked at Suzanne and she looked at me. I said, 'Did I tell you about the immune system?' Suzanne starting laughing, I said, 'it's amazing.' She said, 'Not now.'"
Joker?! For DCU Classics??? Please, enlighten.
By the way, has anyone happened to have seen the Wal-Mart wave anywhere?! Not that I didn't know this would happen as soon as I heard there was to be a Wal-Mart exclusive wave, but...I've just gotta have those figures!!! I would appreciate any help anyone hereabouts might be able to provide me in getting hold of these. I'd like to get away with paying retail plus shipping, but am also prepared to sweeten the pot with exclusives items from my job. Isn't there anyone out there that lives near one of those mythical, magical Wal-Marts I'm always hearing about that not only stock their exclusives, but inexplicably manages to keep them in stock?!
JMG, you must mean the Infinite Heroes Joker, right?
Roojay, I've given up all hope on ever seeing any DCUC wave 5 at my local Walmarts. However, for exclusive items from your job, I'll snag any up if somehow I find any!

Our authentic Greek spanakopita uses chopped spinach but you can substitute fresh spinach if you prefer.
Until you're ready to layer the phyllo sheets in the baking dish, keep them covered with plastic wrap topped with a damp towel. This keeps the thin sheets from drying out.
Brush the edges of the phyllo with butter first, then work toward the center. And don't forget to brush the top layer for a golden brown crust.
You can substitute 2 lb fresh spinach for the frozen. Remove the stems and toss in oil just until wilted. Place spinach in a colander to squeeze out excess liquid, then roughly chop it.

I have list of files, now I want to create a Texture2DArray and bind to the shader but I do not know how to do it.
According to MJP in this topic: http://www.gamedev.net/topic/612963-how-do-i-load-id3d10shaderresourceview-into-texture2darray/. If we load all of textures using D3DX11CreateTextureFromFile, then all of textures need to be the same size, have the same format, and have the same number of mip levels. But all I have are a list of files (bmp, jpg....) and I think they have different sizes.
Anybody help me, please? If you have time, could you give me an example with source code?. Thank in advance.

A couple of weeks ago I argued that China's slowing growth could hit U.S. stocks. A recent Credit Suisse report, however, argues that global growth will survive a China slowdown.
Credit Suisse's Neal Soss writes:
Cyclical indicators point to a disconnect in growth momentum between the North Atlantic economies and those of Asia and, in particular, China. Will China's slowdown halt the upswing in the North Atlantic, or vice versa? We think the latter: the improvement in the North Atlantic data is likely to be of more significance for the pace of global growth than weakness in China and Asia.
Although China is the world's second largest economy it matters far more for output than it does for demand. The production of an iPhone is a revealing example: Chinese value added accounts for no more than 4% of total
manufacturing cost, as the bulk of the components are imported from outside China.
That view, however, is dependent on how much China's growth actually slows. Soss, for one, thinks it's about as slow as its going to get:
Changes in growth rates also matter. We doubt that Chinese growth will slow significantly further. In contrast, we think that China should be able to maintain a reasonable pace of growth in the near term, supported by improving external demand, still resilient domestic consumption, a steadily expanding service sector, and incremental growth-friendly policy initiatives. We also think an imminent credit crisis is avoidable, as the authorities have both the tools and the experience to manage a bloated stock of domestic debt.
After reading the People's Bank of China's policy report issued today, however, Nomura's Zhiwei Zhang doesn't expect China to lean more dovish. He writes:

Furry companions and paddleboards are two things rarely seen together, but one very happy canine co-captain made its way through the Half-Moon Outfitters Golden Nugget Stand-Up Paddleboard Race on Shem Creek to laughter and applause from onlookers, setting the tone for what would be a wonderful, relaxing afternoon.
Warm, sunny weather and a substantial crowd welcomed the SUP competitors, who paddled away from the Lighthouse on the Creek dock in 5K or 10K heats. Partygoers squeezed in along the railing watch the competitors striking out toward the harbor, snapping photos or waving to friends.
Those who remained on the dock for the aptly nicknamed "Paddle 'n Party" settled in to uphold the party portion of the afternoon, enjoying a leisurely day of live music, delicious food, and great company. Some partygoers snagged a drink at the bar and returned to the dock to watch the action on the water while others lined up for mouth-watering barbecued pork sliders and fresh coleslaw. A harbor cruise offered guests a scenic respite on the Charleston Harbor while the paddleboarders were out, but more than a few guests chose to keep an eye on their silent auction bids.
The paddleboarders returned one by one and joined the crowd - wetsuits and all - and the afternoon segued into a laid-back after-party.
The beautiful Sunday-afternoon affair benefited the Mount Pleasant Land Conservancy, a 501 (c)(3) non-profit land trust dedicated to protecting the land, natural resources and important civic open spaces throughout Charleston County. The Mount Pleasant Land Conservancy works toward their mission by acquiring land, accepting voluntary conservation easements, and educating the public about the importance of land conservation to the quality of life in urban communities.

Elder Bush: Olbermann, Maddow are 'sick puppies'
October 17, 2009 - 6:26am
Former President George H.W. Bush says MSNBC entertainers Keith Olbermann and Rachel Maddow are "sick puppies" for the way they treat his son -- former President George W. Bush -- and other who don't agree with him.
The elder Bush, in an interview with CBS News, singled out the two liberal talk show hosts as examples of what he called an increasing lack of civility in politics.
"I don't like it," Bush said of the coarse tone of national debate. "The cables have a lot to do with it. It's not just the right. There are plenty of people on the left."
Maddow and Olbermann anchor MSNBC's nightly dishing of liberal opinion and often single out George W. Bush for harsh commentary and treatment. Although neither are trained journalists, the cable network bills their talkfests as "news" shows.
"The way they treat my son and anyone who's opposed to their point of view is just horrible," Bush said.
Bush told CBS that harsh, unrelenting criticism "should not be par for the course. To the degree it turns off one student or one person from serving, that's bad."
The former President was also critical of right-wing commentators for the way they treat current President Barack Obama. The attacks, he said, "crosses the lines of civility" but added that he did not think the majority of attacks from the right stemmed from racism.

This was gonna' be a piece all about the amazing Chicago Blackhawks' and their stupendous start to abbreviated NHL '12-13, but then hoopsters Miami decided to turn-up the Heat on the rest of the NBA and remind everyone who's boss. Tough call.
Every time I get the scores on these two clubs I'm muttering to myself words like "Really," "Wow" or "Is that right?" It's real and it's right.
As of this writing (3/6) the Blackhawks' record stands at a mind-boggling 21-0-3, while the Heat have fattened-up their mark to a weighty 45-14 with zero defeats in their last sixteen contests.
So who's the better storyline, Chicago's ice-men cometh or the Miami marvels?
Going by the media's reaction it's the Heat Express, hands down.
During the streak Miami is winning by an average of 12 points per contest, faring fine in team-rankings for both scoring (5) and defense (10).
While their two biggest threats at this stage in San Antonio and Indiana are absent from the run (L 2/1 @ IND 89-102), the sixteen Ws do include nice wins over serious squads from each Conference including OKC, LAC, LAL, MEM, NYK, CHI and ATL.
Those susceptible to being 'captured by the moment' now feel compelled to put LeBron James in the 'greatest all-time' discussion (Kobe shrugs). Such succotash probably puts a wry smile on the face of the savvy Mr. James who'd quickly dismiss the fawning.
Greatest or not, the "merely super-great" James (a Bing-ism) reigns supreme in '13 and is big reason why the Heat cook like Rachel Ray on short notice, joining leaders in PPG (27 / 4), assists (10), FG% (8) and rebounds (22), while Dwyane Wade contributes (21.7) and Chris Bosh rebounds lite (7.0). Heat hiccups: an Ass'n worst RPG (38.8) as Eastern rival IND excels (45.7) and disturbing up-tick in LeBron's 3-pt. tries in opposite of prior trend downward.
Any aspirations Miami has of dynasty can only be realized if James works his business inside (where he's nearly unstoppable) and passes on the tres-temptation like it was that frosted cupcake calling you for a late-night snack. Gotta' watch the GERD!
Those residing north of the 49th parallel or folk who favor the checks & balances in the spectacle of skate will vote Blackhawks the better narrative. I concur.
Any team that stays unbeaten for as long as the 'Hawks deserves the nod. One thing though, the word 'unbeaten' is a bit tricky in the NHL, given the three dimensions of play: regulation, overtime and shootout periods. The Chicagoans remain unbeaten in regulation and OT (4), having gone 3-3 in shooters.
As for the point record (24G season-start), I've never been a fan of streaks or streakers (bad look in the 70s). That's especially true when a streak is subject to the whims of official scorers (Joe 56), player discretion (Cal 2632) or stapled onto a prior season (CHI 30 / 35 '79-80 Flyers). Pointless.
These Blackhawks impress because of their scoring differential (72 GF vs 41 GA), wealth of goal-tending (Corey Crawford & Ray Emery / 1.73 GAA), resilient, bounce-back ability (COL 3/6) and parlay probably the most talented, diverse trio on ice in Jonathan Toews (C), Patrick Kane and the wily veteran who serves as team bellwether, Marian Hossa.
Chicago's penalty minutes are where they should be (270 / 18th) but power-play is pedestrian (19.7%). No matter, it's an over-rated stat. This is where you work in those wise & famous words of Mr. Disraeli: "There are lies, damned lies and statistics." Damn the scoring part, it's killing the PP that matters and in that regard 'Hawks are fine.
Some compare this Blackhawks' squad to the 2010 Stanley Cup winners. Fair enough. Many players and coaches (Joel Quenneville) remain. But each team has its own dynamic and must forge its own identity requiring a new assessment. One asset from '09-10 that will need duplication come playoffs is defenseman-enforcer Dustin Byfuglien, now with Winnipeg. That '10 Finals (PHI) was hero heavy but "Big Buff" played a key role.
A lot can change between March and May, but for now, the 'Hawks and Heat are playing like teams with a destiny and the know-how to grab hold a' that brass ring and hang-on tight.
Oh yeah, there's one more thing that makes the Blackhawks' Cup Quest II the better tale: they display the best uniforms and moniker on the sporting landscape, hands down. So please Reebok Suits & Skirts, hands off.
