Thank you very much. As I begin, I would like to take a few moments to pay tribute to the brave American men and women who at this very moment are on the frontlines of war, half a world away. Many of us in this room know what they are feeling now. And whatever differences any of us may have over issues of policy, it is time to stand united behind them as they put their lives on the line. May God protect them in the days and dangers ahead - and bring them home safely to their families and our country.
In that same spirit, I am honored to be here with so many of you, who, day after day, shift after shift, stand on the frontlines of our safety here at home.
In 1999, tragedy struck my state when a warehouse in Worcester went up in flames. Six brave firefighters went it. None came out alive. Massachusetts and the nation mourned as one. Firefighters came from Australia and Ireland and all over America to mourn their fallen brothers. I looked the families in the eyes and promised that their loved ones' sacrifices would not be forgotten. And long after the bagpipes ended their wailing and the flags returned to full staff, I kept that promise. I have fought for better equipment and training, for tracking technology and workplace protections. I will not stop my fight to honor the Worcester Six and all the firefighter's we've lost until the job is done.
For 85 years, the IAFF has been leading the way for better benefits, working conditions, and health care for our frontline firefighters. Some politicians may just have discovered firefighters and your cause, but your work has always been vital to this nation and to the lives of its people. Even before September 11th, firefighters placed themselves in danger, showed amazing heroism, and risked their lives for others every single day.
But September 11th wasn't just another day. Three hundred forty-three of your brothers - and America's heroes - died that day. They were parents and children, brothers and husbands, fiancés and best friends. And they were one more thing. They were proud members of Locals 94 and 854. They never forgot it and neither will we.
There is nothing I could say here today that could add or subtract to what they did that day. We will always remember their sacrifice and tell stories of their courage.
But that courage demands not just gratitude and admiration, but a true national commitment. As Harold Shaitberger has said, "Words are not enough." It is time for action.
It is time for us to really honor those who fall in the line of duty with deeds, not words. It is time for us pass presumptive disability benefits and the SAFER Firefighters Act, to fully fund the FIRE ACT, and to ensure collective bargaining power for firefighters all over this country. Don't let another politician stand in front of you if they're not willing to at least do that.
But that is just the beginning of our work and our resolve. A year and a half after September 11th, it is time we for us to do what it will take to protect America here at home.
On September 11th, 2001, America was attacked without provocation or warning. The goal of the terrorists was to destroy the centers of our economy, our military, and our government. They aimed to bring this nation to its knees. They missed. America was united as never before.
America swore we would bring justice for those who were lost, that we would bring security to this land, and that we would not stop until the fight was won. Like that December day in Pearl Harbor 60 years ago, it was a day of infamy. And the challenge to this generation is to show that we could be as brave and bold as those that came before us. And as in World War II, it is clear this war has to be fought on more than one front.
World War II was waged in the Atlantic and the Pacific, in Europe, Asia, and Africa. This war will be fought in distant parts of the world - and in the very neighborhoods we call home.
The most basic responsibility of government is to provide for the common defense. But thus far the federal government has provided too little support, provided too little leadership, and provided too little vision for the common defense of our homeland. Any American anywhere in our country may pay a price for this failure. But in the event of another attack, America's firefighters will pay the highest price.
For the past year and half, in communities all across America, many committed men and women have done their best to secure our homeland defense. You and they have made remarkable progress. But you and they need a partner who will provide the support and resources we need.
Thus far, what has been offered is little more than a huge new bureaucracy and a run on duct tape. Funding for firefighters, paramedics, and law enforcement has been vetoed when we should be increasing it. Nothing has been done to help states and cities being forced to cut firefighters' jobs. Nothing has been done to help our first responders with the growing cost of health care, even though they are often at the greatest risk. What has been proposed is tax cuts for the few over the safety, health care, and job security of our firefighters. This makes it harder to keep seasoned, experienced firefighters on the job and imperils Americans' safety.
Instead of just new offices in Washington, we need support for the frontlines. We can't tinker while the clock on homeland security is ticking.
Right now, billions in funds the Congress put into law for homeland security at the community level sits stalled in the bureaucracy. This money is critical - and we should get it off the railroad to limbo and put it on a fast track now. You need the help - and you shouldn't have to wait to get it.
America needs a new strategy for homeland security that asks Americans to do more and takes steps as big as the threats we face. We need to put our faith and trust in the people on the frontlines - and back it up with real resources. We need to make sure first defenders have the gear and support they need, and the benefits and protections they've earned. And we need to do it now.
I hope that America is never attacked again, but it is the job of a leader to pray for the best and prepare for the worst. In the coming months, I will be speaking more on this subject, but today I want to discuss six steps America can and must take to defend our country from future attacks.
First, we need to give you the same level of support we give our armed forces. You are now our defenders against terrorism. And it is time - in fact, it is way past time - to make sure you have all you need to carry out that mission.
I hope this nation would never send its armed forces into battle without the training, the equipment, the force levels, the information, and the weapons they need. It is wrong that you're being sent out without that same support every single day.
That's why I'm proposing a new "First Defenders Initiative" to assure that our local responders are ready. Today, nearly two-thirds of firehouses are understaffed, making it difficult to deal with traditional fires and medical emergencies, let alone the threat of terrorism. I believe we need to create a separate fund that goes directly to hire up to 100,000 new firefighters and to provide them with vital new equipment necessary to assure firefighters are prepared. Let's name it the Father Mychal Judge fund in honor of an American hero and in order to let heroes keep America safe.
We need to restore the COPS program to put 100,000 new police on our streets - which I sponsored and which is now on the chopping block. We need to make sure firefighters and police have protective gear and everything else you need to keep you safe while you protect our safety. And you should get the resources directly, not through distant bureaucracies that make decisions for you - and too often, may make the wrong decisions.
Second, we need to bring 21st century technology to the war on terror so that you and other first defenders can communicate and share the information that can save your lives and help you save the lives of others. When we fight overseas, our Army and Marine forces on the ground, Navy and Air Force pilots in the sky, and command centers far from the battlefield have access to remarkable communication technology, and can harness fresh in real time. We need to give you those same abilities.
Tragically, we have so far fallen short here at home. On the morning of September 11th, New York City police helicopter pilots reported to their officers down below that it looked like the Twin Towers were going to come down. They didn't realize that the firefighters on the inside had radios that were on a different frequency and couldn't hear the warning. First defenders must have modern technology to talk with each other at every moment - before, during, and after an attack.
We need to coordinate all the sources of information as well as all means of communications. In the months leading up to September 11th, two of the hijackers were arrested for drunk driving -- and another was stopped for speeding and then let go even though he was the subject of an arrest warrant in a neighboring county and was on a federal terrorist watch list.
Firefighters and law enforcement must have access to critical data so they can connect the dots. And we need to simplify and streamline the 58 national terrorist watch lists and make sure them available to the right people on the frontlines.
Four of the five terrorists who crashed an airliner into the Pentagon had false IDs. If teenagers trying to buy beer can falsify IDs, can we be surprised when terrorists can fake driver's licenses and visas? It's time for a new generation of smart driver's licenses and IDs that use encrypted technology so they can't be forged. Instead of the assault on our civil liberties that John Ashcroft is waging, we need to rely on new technology that can protect our privacy and our county at the same time. We need to reform our intelligence agencies so they collect, analyze and share all the relevant information they can about the terrorist threat.
Third, we need to do much more to protect our land, sea, and skies from assault. Because the attack on September 11th involved airplanes, that's where our focus has been. But there's no reason to think the terrorists will try to the same tactic again.
We screen millions of shoes in airports everyday, but less than two percent of the 21,000 enormous shipping containers that arrive in our ports every day. Any one of them could have a biological, chemical, or nuclear weapon inside. We need to invest in and employ new technologies to screen the containers, ships, trains, and trucks that come into this country.
Fourth, we need a national "Homeland Health Initiative" to track and combat any potential terrorist use of deadly disease. When we're dealing with biological weapons, every second counts and every minute can make the difference between a horrific strike that kills hundreds and a national pandemic that kills millions.
Yet, today it routinely takes up to three weeks for a public health department to register a disease incident report in the national database. We need a new real time detection system to monitor ambulance calls, pharmacy usage, a surge in increases of sickness in schools and businesses, and hospital admissions so that we can see disease outbreaks early on, before they take off out of control.
Fifth, we have to spur scientists and the private sector to create the technologies we need to fight the War on Terrorism. Sixty years ago, the Manhattan Project got its name because its head had his offices at 120 Broadway Street in New York. That is half a mile from where the World Trade Center once stood. We have to honor the memories of those that perished - and the initiative of those in the Manhattan Project -- by developing new discoveries that will make another attack much less likely.
This means gathering the nation's greatest scientists to seek and find vaccines, antidotes and detection technologies to disarm, treat, and track down chemical and biological weapons before they can do incalculable damage.
Sixth, we need to call on all our people to do their part in a new "Defend America Initiative." In the days and weeks after September 11th, all America was one. We showed our patriotism as we waited hours to donate blood, volunteered to help the victims, stood on corners to celebrate the flag, or bowed our heads in silent prayer.
Americans want to serve and contribute. President Bush told us to go shopping. I believe we are better than that - that each of us still want to make a difference and all of us will enlist in the cause of a safer nation.
Winning the War on Terrorism will require more Americans than ever before to work together in common purpose. And it will require a President who is willing to challenge them to serve and reach for a goal higher than themselves.
We need to enlist the National Guard more effectively in Homeland Security. We need expand AmeriCorps to make Homeland Security a core mission. Since September 11, applications to AmeriCorps have increased by 50 percent. Unfortunately, under President Bush, this service corps has been slashed. When young Americans are asking what they can do for their country, the answer they get shouldn't be a door shut in their face.
And finally, we need to create a new Community Defense Service comprised of hundreds of thousands of Americans in neighborhoods all over the country. Volunteer Service Captains would receive training and education to assist their communities in the event of an attack. They would be a combination between the old Civil Defense Program from World War II and a 21st century Neighborhood Watch. They would be trained to help identify local health professionals and experts in the area, provide information on local evacuation or quarantine plans, and stand ready to assist first defenders in the hours after an attack.
I believe the steps I have outlined today represent a serious response to that day of infamy in 2001. What occurred then was an enormous event and it deserves an equal response. Homeland security has to be a top priority. With new technology and ingenuity, by doing more to sustain our first defenders and calling on Americans to do more for their country, we can make our country stronger, safer, and more secure.
But this will not happen until we have leadership in the White House that is ready to stand with you and not just pose with you.
We have seen enough of politicians who never paid attention to firefighters before September 11th now pretending they're you're best friends. We've had enough of those who offer words without actions, tough rhetoric and a tin pot record. They do not honor your fallen friends, they betray them.
If we are truly to honor those that fell on September 11th - and all the others who have fallen in the line of duty - then let's give all our first defenders the tools and training to protect us - and the respect and rewards that you deserve.
Our first defenders must never come in last in the budget. You are first up the stairs and you deserve to be first in line when we decide our spending priorities.
You protect Americans every day and you deserve the protections of collective bargaining and real health benefits.
At any moment at any day, you and other firefighters can confront sudden danger or disaster. Nothing will ever change that. And when that "last alarm" tolls, it tells of those who are left behind, it tells of hearts broken, and families in pain. But its ring also reminds us of heroes who did their duty, saved innocent lives, served their country and starred down fear.
Those heroes live on permanently - in our pride in them and in the memories of friends and family.
But we owe them even more. We owe them a nation which ensures they did not die in vain. We owe them an America that honors their sacrifice by making sure that their brothers and sisters who are left behind get the support they need to stand ready and answer the call.
Thank you.

It still has a long way to go. I've never sculpted anything in clay before so I'm a complete noob in this medium. I'm using Klean Klay because it's good for use in making silicone molds due to it not containing sulfur. I'm sure it isn't the best choice because it's a pain in the butt to smooth out, but I'm too far along and ordered 50 lbs of the stuff. My time frame is to have something wearable by Halloween to go with my son's Storm Shadow costume.
Any advice from the clay experts out there and/or constructive criticism is always appreciated.

"We had a hot air balloon theme that had banners hanging, and this sticker was a PERFECT way to send off our guests. We used these on his party favor bags, and it just looked really adorable."
"I ordered these labels to place on favor bags for my husband's 50th birthday. They look exactly as shown. They were shipped quickly and I received them earlier than I expected,which helped a great deal. I would certainly order from here again!!"
"We were looking for a sticker photo for my daughter's sorority recruitment cards. It needed to be small. The size was perfect, but I would've liked to have seen a few more designs. In particularly more "grown up" designs. The ones you currently offer have a baby/child theme."
"I removed the writing so my daughter could stick a photo of her much loved cat on her correspondence. They look beautiful."
"I love this gift tag. I use it on my baked goods that I give out but would be very cute for child OR adult birthday gift tag."

Energetic, enthusiastic, focused.
2. As a child, I'm sure you wanted to be something exciting when you grew up. We all did. Have any of your childhood dreams come true?
When I was five I remember standing in the long grass in our garden in
surrounded by insects whirring thinking, 'I want to be a zoologist when I grow
up' - but I was a bit too scared of the bugs to venture any further! Nigeria
I trained as a zoologist (I studied chimpanzees for my PhD). All of my books either have animals in – Theory of Mind has chimps, Angel Bird has magpies – or feature the natural world: in The Naked Name of Love Joseph travels to
Outer Mongolia to find a
rare white lily and debates about evolution.
When I worked as a wildlife TV presenter for the BBC I got to travel round the
British Isles looking at and talking
about animals.
But as for being a proper zoologist, frankly I don't have the patience to sit still all day, the fortitude to put up with deprivation, like no coffee and being a bit cold, and my maths is abysmal.
I always wanted to be a novelist too and luckily I got to do a bit of book writing as well.
3. What's the difference between a writer and a hack?
A hack always makes me picture Jeffrey Archer standing at one end of an attic full of student writers churning out copy in the literary equivalent of a sweat shop.
Someone who spits out their words rather fast and somewhat unfeelingly: I think if you produce work too quickly, you lose time for reflection, editing and crafting. Revising a novel always reminds of the last stage in throwing a pot, where you smooth and smooth the clay.
4. Should writers (of any kind) read more fiction or non-fiction?
I read that Alan Titchmarsh doesn't like reading novels. If it's true, it's pretty astounding. Surely all writers should read?
Whether we're writing non-fiction or fiction, we all need to do research, which requires reading factual books.
As for fiction, it can help both novelists and non-fiction writers hone their craft and see how a good narrative works. Once you're actually immersed in writing your novel though, it might be better not to read books in the same genre in case you either get accused of plagiarism if you inadvertently pick up ideas and phrases, or become despondent about your own, as yet, unfinished work.
5. What's your favorite word, and what can you tell us about it?
I overuse 'brilliant' in real life. In my novels, I like 'riven'. It can mean coming together or being torn asunder, it's onomatopoeic and, as I have synaesthesia, I see the word's colour as an appropriately marbled mixture of granite and slate.

Tucson's Pima Air and Space Museum created this massive Arturo Desert paper airplane, which weighs 363 kg and has a wingspan of 24 ft. Recently, the plane was hauled by a helicopter to an altitude of about 4,000 feet before being released – resulting in a six second flight which reached speeds of 98 mph. The project was described as part of a larger effort to inspire America's youth and spark a passion for aviation and engineering in the next generation.
Hit the jump to see video of the paper plane in flight.

In May 2007, the FDA approved Perlane®, a hyaluronic acid-based filler from the makers of Restylane®. Perlane has been approved for injection into the deep dermis for the correction of facial folds and wrinkles, especially nasolabial folds. The injection is used to provide deeper, longer correction of some forms of facial folds and may be used in conjunction with Restylane® or by itself, and it can be an excellent complement to BOTOX® injections.
The main difference between Perlane® and Restylane® is that Perlane® is made of larger hyaluronic acid gel particles. This gives Perlane greater lifting power, making it ideal for the correction of deep facial folds and even a good solution for some facial contouring applications. It is intended for use in applications where a greater volume of filler is required than is typically provided by Restylane® injections.
Like Restylane®, Perlane® is made of non-animal based hyaluronic acid and has a very low incidence of possible side effects. Some patients experience slightly greater swelling following injection of Perlane®. This typically resolves within two or three days. Ice and cold packs can help bring the swelling down.
Because hyaluronic acid is hydrophilic and attracts and binds water as it is absorbed by the body, it retains its volume for six months or more.
If you are interested in Perlane for the correction of facial folds, wrinkles, and loss of facial volume, contact our doctor at the Dermatology & Laser Surgery Center to schedule your Perlane® consultation.

Hello everyone. I'm new to the forum and have a quick question.
Basically, is it safe to put synthetic oil in a high mileage engine?
My car has 300k.
Sent from my PC36100 using Bimmer App
Depends what weight it is and if It's right for your climate otherwise there's no problem using synthetic oil. But I would stick to good old dino oil if you can. It's much cheaper and there's no need to use synthetic on high mileage cars.
Sent from my HTC Sensation Z710a using Bimmer App
you can cause oil leaks. synthetics clean the engines really good. so if you have some carbon gunk keeping a gasket sealed, synthetic will pull it out and cause an oil leak.
I would suggest not too. Castol gtx has a high mileage semi-synthetic that I ran in my E30 and made it run a little smoother and may have helped with the oil leak it had.
+1 on Tkaczuk. A Castrol lecture I attended advised use only oil available at the time of an engine's manufacture. That is what it was designed to run on.
My friend said the same thing. I think same weight in other oils would be okay but more specifically moble 1 would run about the same. I haven't used to many other oils. Royal Purple went in my 24v swap.
I have often wondered why some people put synthetic oil into their banger ?
There is a oil for every aplication & just because you abused your baby in the past, expensive oil will not make her love you again ;)
Synthetics are great for high rpm, high heat applications :thumbup: Oh yes, before I forget, they look good in the ads too :rofl:
I believe in spending my money wisely i.e. Value for money...
So before I spend money on a Lubricant I don't need I will maybe flush that LSD with new oil or the radiator, or maybe even flush the dark juie that started life as hydraulic fluid in your break & clutch system....
Thanks for your input.

Review of MillionaireMatch.com
What immediately makes this site different than the other sugar daddy dating sites is the header picture which basically depicts every girl's dream wedding, complete with horse drawn carriage, princess dress, and of course, a handsome groom. This is a far cry from the images of women holding wads of cash and the older sugar daddies smiling from behind their designer shades. What MillionaireMatch.com strives to be is the #1 dating site for wealthy singles and their admirers—just as their tagline states. And having been voted "Best of the Web" by Forbes.com also helps sets this one above some of the other millionaire and sugar daddy dating sites out there.
Sugar Daddy Dating Profiles:
The name can be a little misleading in that you don't actually need to be a millionaire to join. This doesn't mean that the site isn't frequented to millionaires—we know that there are MANY using the site. The options when choosing your income range include a selection for those who make under $150,000 yearly and those who make more than that. Again, from spending time on the site we can tell you that most users are wealthy so the chances of finding yourself that millionaire are great! Having well over one million members certainly doesn't hurt either. And, since we're on the subject of income; income verification is one of the many perks of this site, allowing you to be sure that the men and women you date on the site are as wealthy as they state in their profiles.
The site offers free and paid memberships, both of which require you to fill out a fairly long questionnaire. I personally don't mind doing this because it makes it a lot easier to get to know the members you're considering contacting. As important as pictures are, that little bit of extra information about a member can help you weed out the ones you should pursue and those you'd be better off to discard. Big time saver! As a free member you can search members, send winks, and reply to messages and instant messages. You can also upload up to 27 photos to your profile and receive email alerts every time another member adds you to their favorites list or messages you. They also offer all kinds of other fun stuff like blogs, dating advice, forums, live help with an Millionaire Match counselor, and more. Upgrading to a paid membership allows you to initiate messages and instant messages, search using more options, and set different security settings on your photos and profile. You're also privy to more information, like seeing who has viewed your profile and what time a member was last online—another time saver! (I hate wasting time messaging people who may not have been online since the 90's!!)
Overall the site is easy to use and goes to great lengths to make sure their members are happy and getting what they need. There's always access to love help for any questions you have and best of all, the site is known to be frequented by successful men and women as well as a few celebrities! I guess you never know who you might find on this site, but I certainly wouldn't kick a George Clooney or Charlie Sheen outta' bed!

Phone Thieves: Sister Crime To "Knock And Rob" Sweeping Through Wolf Point
Written by Devon Boen
A sister crime of the "knock and rob" has surfaced within the Wolf Point community and has resulted in residents willingly handing their money over to criminals.
The crime, this time, is a bit different. Police said people will call community members at their homes and tell them an elaborate story in an attempt to receive money from the potential victim.
Some residents have been told they owe back taxes on their property and need to immediately pay a sum of money to the city. Of course, the money never goes to the city, but into the direct pocket of the thief posing as a city official.
The people enacting these crimes will also call up community college students and tell them they owe a fine or need to pay for their books in advance if they want to remain enrolled in classes.
The last one police have encountered entails a caller telling an elderly person their grandchild is in jail in Canada and the grandparent needs to send money for bail immediately.
These are only three scenarios, so police urge residents to be aware of ploys that sound similar.
To prevent being robbed and taken advantage of, community members should steadfastly follow a few guidelines.
If a person calls over the phone requesting money for any purpose, ask for their name, position title, contact information including phone and email, who they are affiliated with and where their office is located.
These would be simple questions for any legitimate city or community college employee, but could deter a potential criminal.
Even if these answers seem legitimate, continue to do further research. Call the City of Wolf Point, the Fort Peck Community College, the supposed Canadian jail, or the appropriate business organization depending on what the person on the phone claims to represent and ask questions.
If there is any type of fine or financial obligation in relation to a community member, these offices will have it on record.
The police department said residents need to verify, verify, verify and be wary of anyone asking for money over the phone or at the door.
Basically, Wolf Point residents need to be aware and need to do research before simply handing over their money. The WPPD said residents can always contact police if they are unsure about a suspicious phone call because it is better to be proactive and prevent being a victim rather than filing a report after being victimized. The police department said it would also assist in a civil standby with the caller and the recipient of the call to ensure the request for payment is legitimate.
If a community member believes someone attempted to rob them in this manner, they are urged to report it to the Wolf Point Police Department at 653-1093.

Gainsville, Florida (The Weekly Vice) - Barnard Cato III, a 29-year-old Gainsville man was jailed Tuesday after he allegedly fled the scene of an accident, then told police that he left because he had a bad case of "the runs."
According to Gainsville Police, Cato struck another vehicle with his car, then ran over several newspaper boxes before fleeing the scene on foot.
Officers found Cato a short time later at a nearby Walmart store
Investigators say Cato's breath and clothing smelled strongly of alcohol, and his eyes were blood-shot and watery. He refused a breathalyser test, and stated that he didn't realize that he had hit another vehicle.
When officers asked why he fled the scene of an accident, he stated that he "had the runs" and needed to get to a restroom immediately.
Cato was booked into the Alachua County Jail and charged with driving under the influence, hit and run, and leaving the scene of an accident causing injury, a third-degree felony.

New abortion restrictions possible in U.S
By Mary Wisniewski
CHICAGO (Reuters Life!) - From bans on late-term abortions to requiring providers to offer women sonograms of their fetuses, conservative lawmakers in the United States are pushing abortion curbs this year in dozens of states.
Some bills may have a greater chance of success this year than in the past because there are more conservative legislators and governors.
"I am actually looking forward to a number of victories," said Mary Spaulding Balch, director of the department of state legislation of the National Right to Life Committee.
"We're very worried," said Donna Crane, policy director for NARAL Pro-Choice America. Crane said that because anti-abortion forces have more votes, "the flood gates are open."
The main reason those seeking abortion restrictions are on the offensive is the Republican sweep in midterm elections last year. Although it is not always the case, most Republicans tend to oppose abortion and most Democrats support it.
Republicans gained nearly 700 state legislative seats and now have their largest numbers since the Great Depression, according to the National Conference of State Legislatures.
Republicans now have majority control of the state legislatures in 25 states, Democrats 16 states and the parties share control in eight states. Nebraska does not give party affiliation. Republicans also hold 29 governorships to 20 for Democrats and one independent.
Among the more than 200 bills being proposed this year are an Ohio measure that would ban abortions once a heartbeat can be detected -- as early as 18 days for some women. Continued...

He has just started to grin when he turns, and his expression slides into total shock. He runs to her, crouching by her side, feeling sick. "Penny?" He swallows. "Penny!" His gaze darts around the room, returning to the shrapnel embedded in her stomach; should he try to remove it? Would that make it worse?
"...Billy? That you?" and the bottom drops out of his stomach, because she's recognized him, and she'll hate the Doctor like everyone else, but she's dying and-
"Penny-hold on-oh no, no no no no no-"
"Billy? Are you all right?"
He chokes, because of course, of course, she only ever cared about the people around her. "Penny-hold on-"
"It's okay," Penny says weakly, smiling; he stares at her, completely bewildered-how can it be okay? She's dying, and it's his fault-"Captain Hammer will save us."
For a moment he thinks he's dead; some piece of shrapnel from the roof has fallen and skewered his chest, but no, it's only the feeling of his heart breaking. Then he grits his teeth and stands.
"Captain Hammer won't save you, Penny," he tells her. "I will." He has no idea how, but he'll work that out as he goes along, and he finds himself humming a tune that quickly develops words.
"This appeared as a moral dilemma
'Cause at first it was weird, though I swore to protect you
I did not want to kill, but it seemed that I had to
Didn't hear what you said, but I think now I understand
And you have shown me the light...
It's a brand new day, and the sun is high
All the birds are singing, you're not gonna die
I won't hesitate, so don't you say goodbye
It's a brand new day-"
He needs the Freeze Ray, first; if only it hadn't burned out-but when he sprints to the tripod, he finds that it's almost completely undamaged. Only a few wires are out of place, and he can see it now, the circuitry is set so that after a few minutes the gun will overload itself and fail. It takes him about five seconds to twist the wiring back together, aim, and fire; a blue glow surrounds Penny, and she halts, like someone pressed the "pause" button on a remote. He didn't call it the Freeze Ray for nothing-but although he thinks he fixed the feedback problem, he only has about two minutes for certain, and he needs to work fast.
It's easy, better than any rush of inspiration he's had in the lab; it's like a clear filter has been laid over the world, bringing everything into crystal focus. He's heard of adrenaline rushes giving people absurd bursts of strength; he supposes this is what he gets instead, and even though he's barely containing shuddering panic, he finds himself beginning to grin as he darts around the room, snatching anything that looks like it might be useful off of the ground.
"Seems I win, in the end, I can be what Hammer's not
Guess when push comes to shove I am better than I thought
Mr Cool, Mr Right, Mr Know-it-all is through-
Then again, in the end, guess he helped me to save you
Who showed me the light..."
The shards of the Death Ray are still on the ground; it's irreparable, but there are enough salvageable components left for what he needs, and he can piece together anything else from the abandoned cell phones and cameras scattered everywhere. The power source is a quartet of AAs stolen from the soundboard, the 'barrel' is a broken chair leg, and the entire thing is held together with a roll of duct tape that had been left under the podium; it won't be very reliable, but he only needs it to work once.
There's no time to test it, so the instant it's finished, he sprints to the Freeze Ray, which hasn't powered down yet. He almost doesn't want to turn it off-at this point, it's the only thing keeping her alive-but his on-the-fly invention won't work if she's temporally frozen. His timing will have to be really, really good.
"It's a brand new me, and I've got no remorse
Though the water's rising, I can run this course-
Gonna shock the world, gonna show Bad Horse!
It's a brand new day-"
He takes a deep breath to steady his nerves, and flicks the switch.
The freeze ray powers down, Penny shudders back into motion, and he dashes to her side, activating the kluged-together (and poorly-named) Heal Ray as soon as he's within what he thinks is range. It's a moment before he thinks to pull out the shrapnel before she heals around it, apologizing the whole time even if she is unconscious. The gun works slowly; all it does is speed natural processes, and it's not terribly powerful, but it works; it's fixing her, and he feels like his heart might burst with pride-finally, finally, finally, just when he needs it most, finally he's made something that works. There's not much to do beyond hold the beam steady, but he sings under his breath as the ray does its job.
"So now I can see the real me,
Not a joke, not a dork, not a failure-
And I think I see what Penny sees:
I've got hope, 'cause I know I can save her..."
The largest of the gashes closes over, and he can see the blood flow slowing, now stopping, and his voice gains a triumphant strength; he can't stop grinning like a fool and he doesn't care.
"It's a brand new day, yeah the sun is high
All the angels sing, 'cause I won't let you die!"
The journalists who have remained, and a few who have crept back in, are lined around the edges of the room; they were watching silently, but now they're beginning to point and whisper. Of course they're confused; he's a villain helping an innocent, from their point of view, but they're distracting him and for some reason he finds their incredulity infuriating. He twists around to glare at them venomously, his grip on the ray gun never wavering as the last of Penny's injuries repair themselves. "Go ahead and laugh-yeah, I'm a funny guy," he snarls in rhythm with the tune in his head; the reporters shrink back and fall silent even though with the Death Ray destroyed he can't possibly hurt them. When he's satisfied they won't bother him, he turns back to Penny, expression softening. He feels the rush of hope flickering, feels the despair creeping in around the edges, but he won't give up, can't give up, not yet, not now.
"Please open up your eyes..." he sings pleadingly, searching her face for any flicker of motion, any hint that Penny is still alive, not just breathing. She doesn't move, and as the moments tick by the beat in his head fades along with the brilliant, adrenaline-fueled clarity, until he's just Billy, kneeling on the floor next to the body of someone he couldn't save.
"Penny?" he asks softly; his voice cracks, but he doesn't care. He can't have failed. Not now, not when he was so close... He takes her hand and it's warm, but it's unbearably empty. The shrapnel's gone, her injuries are healed, she's breathing, but there's nothing there.
"No…" he murmurs, won't think 'whimper', and then with increasing volume and vehemence, "No, no, no, no, no! No! No, goddammit, no!" He punches the floor viciously with a suppressed scream of frustration. "It's not fair!" He hasn't said those words since he was twelve, and he knows how ludicrous they are, but it really isn't. Not when it was going so well, not when he thought he finally had a chance at—maybe not happiness, but something, and it feels strangely vindicating to voice the feeling he's been harboring so long. "It's not fair, it's not fair, it's not fair it's not fair it's not fair…"
Before he knows what he's doing he's sobbing helplessly, repeating her name over and over as if it could somehow call her back. Something in him twinges, a ghost of inhibition-he is Doctor Horrible, a villain, and villains do not cry. Fuck that, he thinks; he's Billy despite the lab coat and goggles, and Penny is gone, and he couldn't stop crying if he tried. He can hear cameras flashing somewhere in the background, but he can't even summon the willpower to glare.
Someone touches his shoulder, and he snaps his head up, ready to lash out at whoever has approached him-and freezes, as still as if his own invention has been turned against him. "Billy?" she says quietly. "Are you okay?"
He can't move, can't even think, can't do anything but stare until she leans forward and pulls him into a hug, and then he breaks up completely-he's crying again, but laughing too, she's alive she's alive she's alive I did it I did it I did it-
"I thought you were d-" he chokes, can't say the word, but she understands him anyway.
"Ssh," she murmurs. "It's okay. I'm okay now."
He pulls his head up, staring at her. "Y-you saw? But-how-?"
She shakes her head. "I guess your... time-stop beam doesn't work as perfectly as you thought it did."
It's something to look into; he's not sure how it's possible, but it doesn't matter right now because it did what it needed to. Another thought occurs to him. "Wait-you don't-" He gestures wordlessly to the coat. "I mean-"
"You could have killed him," she says, and as she looks him in the face her smile becomes even brighter; it's like staring at the sun, and his heart is pounding like a piston. "You could have, but you didn't."
"But I-"
"And anyone," she finishes over him, "who can turn a weapon into something to heal can't be much of a villain at all."
A sheepish grin begins to creep up the side of his face, and this time he's the one who reaches for the hug. "I guess you're right," he says into her shoulder, then-and even now, he can't stop stammering, and his voice barely breaks a whisper-"I l-l-love y-you."
He feels a brief rush of panic; now he's gone and ruined everything, and it had been going so well. He rushes to repair the damage. "I-uh-I l-love-"
"Oh, Billy," she says, and she turns her head to brush her lips against his cheek; his heart stutters, and he waits, hardly breathing, for the end of the sentence.
After an excruciating moment, she sighs. "I can't. Not now. Not after... I won't do that to you."
"O-okay." He grins weakly. She hasn't turned him down outright. She doesn't mind the coat. And she's alive, alive and in front of him, and as far as he's concerned life hasn't just thrown him a bone, it's handed him an entire steak with garnish. "Okay. I... That's okay. That's great. We're... we're still friends, right?"
She nods. "Of course, Billy. Of course."
They stand together, turning in unison to face the phalanx of advancing journalists, and when, with a spike of nervous bravery, Billy takes her hand, she laces her fingers through his, and he thinks he might just melt with happiness.
It's a brand new day.

Lopez remains undefeated
Photos: Miguel Cotto Promotions
Hot undefeated super bantamweight prospect Jose "Wonder Boy" Lopez (11-0, 9 KOs) scored an eighth round KO over Sergio Gomez (17-18, 13 KOs) on Saturday night at the Coliseo Rafael G. Amalbert in Juncos, Puerto Rico. Lopez was simply too good for Gomez, who took the fight on short notice. A left hook finished Gomez. "I feel great tonight, I learned a lot. I knew that I got him with good punches, but I didn't want to get desperate. I knew that the KO was coming," Wonder Boy said.
In the co-feature, undefeated lightweight Ken Alvarez (5-0-1, 3 KOs) won a hard fought six round unanimous over previously unbeaten Kevin Nieves (6-1, 3 KOs). Scores were 57-56, 58-55, 58-55. Nieves had Alvarez on the canvas and in trouble in round three.
In other results, mini flyweight prospect Angel Acosta (5-0, 4 KOs) scored a nasty fourth round TKO over the awkward southpaw Pedro Ortiz (2-2-1). Acosta dropped Ortiz three times in the fourth round.
Alberto Machado (5-0, 4 KOs) won a four round unanimous decision over José Del Valle; Yomar Alamo won a brutal first round TKO over Reymundo Santiago; Antonio Ortiz won by second round TKO over Jesus Llanos; Alex Nazario won a four round unanimous decision over Angel Velazquez; Alberto Mercado won a 6 round unanimous decision over Fauris Capellan and local favorite Josué Declet won a majority decision over Luis Hernandez.

Motorists have been warned not to ''panic buy'' fuel after trucking company Cootes grounded its entire fleet.
Out of 25 tankers and trailers tested by VicRoads at the troubled company's Spotswood depot on Friday, 25 were found to have major safety faults.
VicRoads intends to test all 200 petrol and LPG Cootes vehicles in the state while the grounding is effective.
Acting chief executive Peter Todd said the authority had a ''serious discussion'' with Cootes, which ''voluntarily'' decided to ground its 200-vehicle fleet in Victoria.
A Cootes tanker was involved in a fiery crash in Sydney last year that resulted in the deaths of two people.
VicRoads will begin more safety checks at the company's Dandenong depot on Sunday.
The faults found in the Cootes vehicles included brakes, shockers, airbags, loose bolts and oil leaks.
Mr Todd said the 32 vehicles had also been tested in October when snap inspections were carried out. He said the vehicles had also been found to be faulty at that time but the faults discovered this week were new.
''It appears to us that there is not enough being done - that seems to be the evidence of what we have found,'' he said.
''They were repaired and we were sure they were repaired. They are working and they are travelling significant distances, but they do need to be maintained. At every time they need to be safe. Road users in Victoria can be confident that the vehicles on our roads are safe.
''It is this situation here that we are finding very disturbing with this company, and that is why we have an ongoing regime of inspections.''
Mr Todd said he had received advice that there will be plenty of petrol in Melbourne and throughout the state, with no need for motorists to panic buy.
The latest inspections were brought forward after NSW road authorities found serious faults in eight out of 15 Cootes Transport vehicles last week.
However, the company is still allowed to roster drivers on 14-hour shifts and load its trucks with more weight than others in the industry.
After the October crash, Cootes opted out of the National Heavy Vehicle Accreditation Scheme for maintenance purposes, meaning its trucks had to undergo more stringent maintenance checks.
National Heavy Vehicle Regulator chief executive Richard Hancock said Cootes' vehicles will be eligible to carry extra weight provided they meet ''prescribed management standards'' and undergo extra audits.

Best Of :: Food & Drink
With a name like Scratch Burrito, you'd expect to find bulging, tortilla-wrapped creations when you walk through the door. And with a name like Clay Markwell — formerly of TAG — in the kitchen, you'd expect them to be good. What you wouldn't expect, though, is for a salad to be one of the big draws. Made with chopped napa cabbage, quinoa, roasted corn, black beans and avocado and tossed in a zesty chile-lime vinaigrette, Markwell's Scratch salad is a refreshing alternative to ho-hum mixed greens. Loaded with plenty of grains and beans, it's light but full of protein, so it won't weigh you down, like one of Scratch's globally inspired burritos. Unless, of course, you pair it with a few local beers from the Happy Tap.
It's good to be king. It's even better to be at Breakfast King when everyone else is asleep and you're looking for a home away from home, a home where the friendly, wisecracking servers know not just your name, but your regular order. That's likely to be chicken-fried steak smothered in country gravy — the best chicken-fried steak in the city at any time of the day — sided with endless cups of coffee. But the kitchen is cooking up that huge menu at all hours, so you can also get eggs any way imaginable, comfort-food dinners, or just a big slice of pie to soak up some of the coffee. No matter what you order, it will be a feast fit for a king.
People love chicken. People love waffles. Why, then, is chicken and waffles so polarizing, one of those dishes you either love or hate? At Session Kitchen, chef Scott Parker has created a version so good, and yet so different, we can all agree to like it. Called "chicken-liver mousse," his alternative is every bit as rich as the original, yet it comes off much lighter and more contemporary, a perfect fit for the dynamic street art and murals inside the stunning two-level space. Rather than fried chicken, Parker offers a jar of chicken-liver mousse accented with a dollop of seasonal, housemade jam. Sharing the plate are airy, crisp Belgian waffles, scented with orange and made from almond flour. The combination of smooth, earthy mousse, sweet jam and waffle is not a traditional chicken and waffles, but no one's quibbling when it tastes this good.
At a time when nearly anything can be eaten at the bar, it's hard to say just what counts as bar snacks. Is it a small plate of rillette on toast? Wings? Housemade trail mix? Yes to all. But when you want a classic snack, something with crunch and salt to nibble while unwinding from the day over a drink, nothing beats the mariquitas Cubana at Cuba Cuba. With a hint of sweetness and none of the oily residue of freshly fried potato chips, these long, thin strips of fried green plantains are just what you want with your coconut mojito. Although also available at the Sandwicherias in Boulder and Glendale, they're at their best at the flagship, full-service restaurant, where they're paired not just with garlicky mojo, but with mango-habanero mojo and guacamole. The platter is large enough for everyone to have some, but not so big that it will ruin the very good dinner to come.
The best just got better last year, when Boney's Smokehouse — Lamont and Trina Lynch's downtown, down-home restaurant — moved into a bigger space just a few doors away. Tucked in the basement, the new Boney's can be hard to find, but it's definitely worth the search...and some advance planning, since the hours are limited. But there's no limit to the load of barbecue you'll want to order — brisket, chopped chicken, pulled pork, hot links and ribs that have so much flavor from their dry rub and long tenure over low heat that they don't need sauce. Still, you won't want to miss the three versions at Boney's: a tangy basic sauce also offered hot, a sweet jalapeño and an excellent, mustardy gold. And give Boney's extra points for sides ranging from great collard greens and barbecue beans to lip-smacking mac and cheese. Lamont, a native of Florida, has spent years giving a Southern tweak to a repertoire of family recipes imported from the Bahamas; as a result, this barbecue defies categorization. Just call it the best.
"I think I love you," swooned the woman at the bar, her proclamation intended for the bartender who'd just slid a textbook-perfect Manhattan under her nose. Marcel Templet, the veteran who's been behind the booze at Capital Grille for ten years, is an everyman's bartender, an effortlessly affable guy who's mastered the art of greeting every stain of lipstick and every tint of tie by name while simultaneously commiserating with a just-dumped barfly, announcing game scores, juggling four liquor bottles and reciting the backstory of every spirit he pours. And he does all of it with genuine authenticity and an easy smile. You can teach almost anyone how to make a good cocktail, but it's the personality of the bartender that defines the personality of the bar, and Templet, whose showmanship hits all the right notes, leaves a lovely lasting impression.

Happy 25th Birthday World Wide Web!
Today marks 25 years since the invention of the World Wide Web. This made us here at Cisco think about the motives of the inventor, Sir Tim Berners-Lee, and whether they hold true today.
Berners-Lee didn't set out to 'invent' something. Well, maybe he did – he was a scientist after all. But he didn't set out to invent the Web. His motives were simpler. He wanted to enable a small community of people, in this case scientists, to share information between themselves. He wanted to create a knowledge-sharing platform and a network of people.
The word 'network' is defined as 'a group or system of interconnected people or things'. This group of scientists, working together in the late eighties, wanted and needed to be interconnected. And fundamentally, that is what we're trying to achieve here at Cisco too. Creating a network for people to use to become and remain connected.
People are social beings who want to remain connected to what's most important to them – anywhere, and anytime. The rise of social networks proves nothing, if not people's desire to be connected. As we embrace the Internet of Everything era, we believe in staying true to Berners-Lee's core values – creating a network for people.
Taking the record for the fastest-growing communication medium of all time (having reached 50 million users in merely four years), the World Wide Web has transformed how people interact with their networks; how they connect, communicate and collaborate. And we believe it's changed for the better.
Happy Birthday to the World Wide Web, we can't wait to see where innovation and creativity will take you over the next 25 years.

Tuesday was not a fun day to be a top executive at Goldman Sachs. Sen. Carl Levin and his posse from the Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations made sure of that during a lengthy interrogation session, which included quite a zinger from Sen. Levin to Daniel Sparks, who used to run Goldman's mortgage department. Meanwhile, the company's stock rose a dollar and a penny. —KA
Bloomberg Businessweek:
"How about the fact that you sold hundreds of millions of that deal after your people knew it was a shitty deal?" the Michigan Democrat asked Daniel Sparks, who ran the bank's mortgage unit at the time. "Does that bother you at all?"
... In his comments to Sparks, Levin was referring to a June 2007 e-mail to Sparks from Thomas Montag, the former head of sales and trading in the Americas at Goldman Sachs. The message described a set of mortgage-linked investments that his bank had been trying to sell as part of "one shitty deal."
"I don't recall selling hundreds of millions of that deal after that," Sparks replied, adding that he believed the e-mail referred to his performance, not the security itself.
"If you can't give a clear answer to that one, Mr. Sparks, I don't think we're going to get too many clear answers from you," Levin said.
Shares Rise
As the executives testified, Goldman Sachs was the only stock among 79 financial companies that gained in the Standard & Poor's 500 Index. The stock rose $1.01 to $153.04 as of 5:04 p.m. in New York Stock Exchange composite trading.

Goldman Sachs executives—from left, Daniel Sparks, former partner and head of the mortgage department; Michael J. Swenson, managing director, structured products group trading; Joshua S. Birnbaum, former managing director, structured products group trading; Fabrice Tourre, executive director, structured products group trading—are sworn in Tuesday prior to testifying before the Senate Investigations subcommittee hearing on Wall Street investment banks and the financial crisis.

Alec Baldwin Grew Fat While Watching Rachel Maddow
By Brent Baker | November 21, 2012 3:33 AM EST
A fun nugget buried inside Tuesday's USA Today "Life" section profile of Alec Baldwin: The left-wing actor attributed his former girth to eating a lot of ice cream while watching MSNBC's The Rachel Maddow Show.
USA Today's Donna Freydkin noted he's now "half his size, a sleek, polished version of the man formerly known as Alec Baldwin."
Before he slimmed down starting in May, Freydkin relayed, "Baldwin would go through pints of ice cream every night after shooting 30 Rock while watching Rachel Maddow on MSNBC. His diet, he says, consisted of 'sugar, sugar, sugar.'"

You know how we all think we're not enough? We're not enough for our kids, for our businesses or for ourselves? Well, turn that old narrative off in your head because guess what? Even though so many of us think we're not enough, hard cold facts – facts that demonstrate how women in business leadership build thriving companies -- say that you are!
About a year ago I started reading research by McKinsey & Associates (2007), Catalyst (2010) and others that demonstrated the link between women in leadership and business results. Serious research. Serious results. McKinsey documented improvements in productivity, profitability, corporate culture and sustainability - in ten different categories of performance – where 30% or more of an organization's leaders are women. Catalyst's 2010 numbers show that companies with a significant percentage of women on their boards performed better than those with no women on their boards by 84% return on sales, 60% return on invested capital, and 46% return on equity.
I then started talking to other working women - my colleagues, clients and friends - about this research, entrepreneurs and executives in business, nonprofit and government jobs. They all said, "Really? I had no idea! How cool!" What? They didn't know either? I was shocked and felt compelled to get the word out.
So this week InPower Women is launching The Woman Effect and publishing our Research Index of 60+ studies about women and business. This is a great resource for us to look at what the cold hard facts say about our impact on business, our natural talents and skills and insight into how to grow and get ahead in our careers and in our businesses.
The Woman Effect Means You're More Than Enough
The fact is that a significant presence of female leaders in an organization measurably contributes to its health and wealth. Period.
Do you know what this means? It means that even with our negative self-talk - feeling never enough and work-life struggles - we are more than enough and we have become a critical ingredient for economic success. And it doesn't matter if you're working your way up the Fortune 500 ladder or striking out on your own entrepreneurial adventure. You. Are. Enough.
It means something else too. It means that when we get rid of the negative self-talk, feelings of never enough and work-life guilt, women have the potential to be an even more significant factor in our careers, running our businesses, running our families and in healing our economy and our world.
No more excuses
The Woman Effect has one other implication, which is the reason I'm devoting my professional life to exploring it, raising awareness of it, giving it voice and inviting others to join me and create a powerful chorus. Here it is: now that we know The Woman Effect is not just some wishful idea but real, every woman who participates in the economy which means all of us (even if you 'stay at home' to exercise consumer power and raise the next generation of economic participants); we all bear a responsibility to activate our personal leadership power to play a significant role in the economy. We bear this responsibility whatever that looks like in each of our individual lives - whether you aspire to be on a corporate board, run a kickass small-or-not-so-small business and/or play a leadership role in your volunteer and family life. Why is this your responsibility? Because it all matters. Because it is your world. And because you can.
For me, personally, this means no more excuses. No more whining. No more victimization. My intention from here on out is to use the personal power within me that I can use to activate change and good things in the world. Starting with this. Starting with you.
What about you? Are you ready to put the excuses aside and activate The Woman Effect in your life? In your business? If something is in your way, how will you let it go so you can claim your power to lead? What will it take for you to say "no more excuses"?
Activate the Woman Effect and download The Woman Effect Manifesta today!
In future posts in this series, I'll explore exactly what it is that makes us so effective in business (so we can do more!); so stay tuned. I welcome thoughts - and especially declarations of how you are living The Woman Effect in your own life - in comments below. Please share this page and invite others!

It's probably obvious at this point that I've embarked upon a frequent flier mile kick, what with the British Airways 100K Visa sign on (times 2), the US Mint Presidential coin scheme, the 62,500 Hilton Honors Amex sign on bonus, and related posts. Just yesterday I came across a deal that – bottom line – will enable you to (in essence) buy frequent flyer miles for .7 cents per mile. That's 7/10ths of a cent. Which is pretty amazing.
Put another way, spend $360, and get 50,000+ miles – enough for two domestic round trip tickets. Interested?
Rick Ingersoll, The Frugal Travel Guy, posted about it just yesterday. US Airways is running a Holiday partner promotion, "Shop Your Way to a Bigger Bonus." Rick does a great job of explaining the promotion in his post, "A Big Win for US Airways Fans." For a thorough description of the promo and how to best utilize it, read Rick's post. Here's my short and dirty version:
The basic premise of the promo is that by making 5 purchases with partner merchants during a specified timeframe, you'll qualify for escalating frequent flyer mile bonuses based on your purchases. At 5 purchases, the bonus maxes out at 250% of miles earned.
To fully leverage the promotion, you need to make 4 purchases of nominal amounts with 4 US Airways partner merchants, then make a much larger purchase with US Airways partner merchant TrackItBack for your 5th purchase.
TrackItBack awards 40 miles per dollar spent. (Not a typo!) As mentioned above, with your 5th purchase in this promotion, a 250% miles bonus kicks in. If you spent $360 with TrackItBack as your 5th merchant in the promotion, you'd get 50,400 miles – enough for 2 domestic round trip tickets.

Man Catches Parcel Theft On-Camera
BERMUDA DUNES, Calif. - Many of us order online and receive those orders by the USPS, Fed Ex, or UPS. But those deliveries left at the front door can be very tempting for thieves. It's as easy as walking to a door, picking up a box, and nonchalantly walking away. A Bermuda Dunes resident found out first hand, so he installed video cameras, put out "bait boxes", and got a thief to bite.
The man, who preferred to remain anonymous, said, "well, we had ordered some packages online, and after waiting for several weeks for them to show up, and then doing some online tracking with the companies that we ordered the parcels from, it was almost like a no-brainer that someone was stealing our stuff."
He installed his cameras on Memorial Day weekend to catch the criminal in the act. Late Monday night, the video showed a person wearing a knitted hat with ears open his front gate, walk up and take the box at the door, and walk away. A minute later, the thief came back to take the second box. Both boxes were filled with non-valuables that were going to be donated to Goodwill. The man was asleep during the theft, but the situation is still frustrating.
"Seeing it happen is even more where it takes you to home," he says. "Where you see this person walk up to your gate, trespassing on your property, and then stealing your property? Yeah, it hits you."
No word on the identity of the thief, but the man hopes his video will help the authorities in their search. "I hope so, I hope so," said the man. " I mean, usually there's different characteristics to anybody who walks and comes in here. We've got a couple indentifiers that show kind of what this person is, and, maybe someone that recognizes her in the community or even the security staff here may recognize her."
Representatives from UPS were contacted for this story, and said it is an accepted industry-wide practice to leave a package on a residential doorstep without a signature. But if the customer requests, a signature-upon-delivery is the most secured way to avoid parcel theft. They also recommend to ship to an alternate address, like a workplace or a trusted neighbor's house, where someone will be present to sign for the package.

What assumptions to use to check for orthogonality under integration?
This is basic thing, and I remember doing this or reading about it before.
I am trying to show that Cos[m Pi x], Cos[n Pi x] are orthogonal
functions, m,n are integers, i.e. using the inner product definition
Integrate[Cos[n*Pi*x]*Cos[m*Pi*x], {x, 0, 1}];
So, the above is ZERO when n not equal to m and 1/2 when n=m. hence
orthogonal functions.
This is what I tried:
------ case 1 -------------
Clear[n, m, x]
r = Integrate[Cos[n*Pi*x]*Cos[m*Pi*x], {x, 0, 1}];
Assuming[Element[{n, m}, Integers], Simplify[r]]
Out[167]= 0
I was expecting to get a result with conditional on it using Piecewise
Then I tried
---------case 2 ------------
Clear[n, m, x]
r = Integrate[Cos[n*Pi*x]*Cos[m*Pi*x], {x, 0, 1}];
Assuming[Element[{n, m}, Integers] && n != m, Simplify[r]]
Out[140]= 0
Assuming[Element[{n, m}, Integers] && n == m, Simplify[r]]
Out[184]= Indeterminate
So, it looks like one has to do the limit by 'hand' to see that for n=m
we get non-zero?
Clear[n, m, x]
r = Integrate[Cos[n*Pi*x]*Cos[m*Pi*x], {x, 0, 1}];
Limit[Limit[r, n -> m], m -> 1]
Out[155]= 1/2
Limit[Limit[r, n -> 1], m -> 99]
Out[187]= 0
So, is there a way to get Mathematica to tell me that the integral is
zero for m!=n and 1/2 when n=m? (tried Reduce, Refine). It seems the
problem is that the Integrate is not taking the limit automatically to
determine what happens when n=m? Should it at least in case have told me
that when n!=m it is zero, and when n=m it is Indeterminate? It just
said zero which is not correct when n=m and I did say n,m are integers.

[CONCACAF UNDER-20 CHAMPIONSHIP] The USA opened play at the Concacaf Under-20 Championship with a 2-1 win over Haiti. Baffling is the only word to describe the
performance of Tab Ramos' team that did not lack for preparation -- he had his players at eight camps in the past year -- but performed like it had never played
together before. Luis Gil and Daniel Cuevas scored to put the Americans ahead 2-0 after 25 minutes, but they struggled
for much of the evening in Puebla and were very lucky to escape with a win.
With the exception of Cuevas, who was taken down for a penalty on the first goal, scored with a blast to the far post for the second goal and should have been awarded a second penalty, and to a lesser extent Cody Cropper in goal, the Americans were very, very disappointing.
The backline was disorganized and spent much of the game chasing the Grenadiers. The midfielders didn't help out, turning the ball over time and again. And except for Cuevas, the frontline was largely invisible.
Players playing out of position and key absences could be used as excuses, but that it is a reality all teams face at the U-20 level.
But Ramos will have a lot to think about before Friday's final group match against Costa Rica.
With all his best center backs unavailable because of commitments abroad (John Anthony Brooks) or injuries (Walker Zimmerman and Will Packwood), Ramos went with Caleb Stanko and Shane O'Neill, both better suited to play in midfield, as his center backs, and went with Boyd Okwuonu and Javan Torre, both center backs in college, on the outside with disastrous results.
Ramos went with the 4-3-3 formation national team coach Jurgen Klinsmann has been preaching for all national teams, but it left the Americans badly exposed as they failed to hold on to the ball in midfield and showed absolutely no attacking spark except for what Cuevas provided.
The all-Latino front five -- a first for a national team in a competitive match -- was, on this night, a bust.
Wilberne Augusmat pulled a goal back in the 49th minute, burning Okwuonu badly, and Haiti pressed for the equalizer. It finished with a 12-7 edge in shots and 10-4 edge in corner kicks and was the better team throughout.
Feb. 18 in Puebla
USA 2 Haiti 0. Goal: Gil (pen.) 3, Cuevas 25; Augusmat 49.
USA -- Cropper; Okwuonu, Stanko, O'Neill, Torre; Trapp, Joya, Gil (Kiesewetter 77); Villarreal (Lopez 63), Rodriguez (Ocegueda 86), Cuevas.
Haiti -- Elusma; Saint-Louis, Voltaire, Charles, Saint-Jean (Nazon 59), Chery, Amicy, Horat, Augusmat (Metellus 61), Maurice, Estama (Fede 79).
Yellow cards: USA -- Kiesewetter 89, Lopez 90; Haiti -- Amicy 28, Charles 90.

I am trying to see them run through Troy and wonder if they can make it through the culvert that goes under highway 8 and up Big Meadow Creek past my house.
Thanks for the question regarding Potlatch River steelhead. In the Big Bear Drainage, which included the West Fork of Little Bear and Big Meadow Creek, steelhead should be in the middle of spawning right now. Our past surveys have shown that they typically start spawning after water temperatures go above 41 degrees Fahrenheit. They should definately be around Troy right now. Regarding the HWY 8 culvert, we believe the culvert is a passage barrier. While we have found a few rainbow trout in the upper parts of Big Meadow Creek on the forest we don't find them above the culvert. However, they are found in high densities directly below the culvert. We are currently working with ITD on getting the culvert modified to allow for adult steelhead passage in the near future.
