Would it scare you, if someone else knew everything you dreamed about?
Would it scare you, if someone else knew everything you dreamed about?
Scientists are developing a method of reading the minds of sleeping people.
It is early days, but it can already tell with 60% accuracy, using a brain scanner, which category of object (eg "trees", "structures like houses", etc) featured in the dream.
It would probably scare them more than me. (I'm use to em now)
Not really---most of mine are just silly nonsense.
If they want to spend the time being chased by people with knives and getting lost on the way to exams, they are welcome to a peek inside my dreams. Although I also have dreams that are narrated and where I am multiple characters, I wonder how those would look using this approach.
Mine are just silly too. I really don't care if people know about them.
I think it's interesting the people who think their dreams are meaningless or silly and therefore they don't care.
Aside from the fact that this is a window on your subconscious, you don't know how much you are dreaming that you are not remembering, and how not silly and telling those things may be.
I would not be OK with others interpreting my brain waves to decide what I am dreaming/thinking/worrying about without my conscious say-so.
The entire idea is scary to me.
No, as long as I wasn't the first person whose dreams were scanned.

TRENTON — Despite co-conspirators admitting their roles in a painkiller distribution operation, Joseph A. "JoJo" Giorgianni has yet to turn in his chips.
The 63-year-old steakhouse owner, along with two other defendants, pleaded not guilty in federal court Thursday for conspiracy to distribute oxycodone charges. Giorgianni — a sex offender — also maintained his innocence for possessing three pistols and one shotgun, which is prohibited for a convicted felon.
The drug counts are separate from his federal corruption charges, where he is a co-defendant with Mayor Tony F. Mack and Mack's brother Ralphiel.
Giorgianni's attorney, Jerome Ballarotto, did not return a call for comment.
JoJo's Steakhouse operator, Mary Manfredo, 65, of Lawrenceville, and city resident Anthony Dimatteo, 31, were the other two co-defendants to plead not guilty in the drug distribution organization allegedly ran out of Giorgianni's restaurant.
Former city recreation employee Charles Hall III was the first person from the painkiller ring to plead in federal court on Feb. 27 as part of a plea agreement. Hall was not implicated in September when nine people, including Giorgianni, Dimatteo and Manfredo, were arrested for their involvement in the oxycodone operation.
Since then, four other defendants — Eugene "Raheem" Brown, 71, of Atlantic City, city resident Mark Bethea, and Hamilton residents Carol M. Kounitz, 57 and Giuseppe Scordato, 47 — pleaded guilty in federal court to the drug charges.
Hall, nicknamed "the Utility Man," admitted in court to filling approximately 13 prescriptions or about 1,560 oxycodone-based pills prescribed by a doctor in Nutley from September 2011 to June 2012 for the intent to distribute or sell them. The former city employee would arrange with Giorgianni to deliver them to Manfredo at JoJo's or provide them directly to Dimatteo and Scordato for distribution, he confessed in court.
In addition to his drug charge, Hall also admitted being a "buffer" to receive cash payments for Mack in a bribery scheme to develop an automated parking garage on city property.
Giorgianni was also prescribed the oxycodone-based pills in July 2011, which were also used for distribution, according to court documents.
Hall said he and Giorgianni received portions of the proceeds from the sales of the pills, which were referred to between them as "steaks,""steak sandwiches,""cigars" and "an eagle." Hall also confessed Dimatteo and Scordato would give the proceeds to Manfredo at JoJo's Steakhouse, which would be held for Giorgianni.
The drug counts each carry a maximum penalty of 20 years in prison and a $1 million fine.
The weapons were found when the FBI searched Giorgianni's home on July 18. He faces a maximum penalty of 10 years in prison and a $250,000 fine for that charge.
In 1980, Giorgianni was convicted of carnal abuse and debauching the morals of a 14-year-old girl who was sexually assaulted in the back room of his steakhouse in 1978.

Steve Clarke says he is not surprised by West Brom's superb start to the Barclays Premier League season but has played down talk of challenging for a European spot.
Albion moved into fourth place after defeating QPR 3-2 at the Hawthorns, and have now taken 14 points from their opening seven games. It completed a successful 24 hours for the midlands outfit after key defender Jonas Olsson signed a new four-year contract on Friday evening.
But head coach Clarke was keeping his feet firmly on the ground after seeing goals from James Morrison, Zoltan Gera and Youssouf Mulumbu earn the Baggies a fourth successive home league win. Reflecting on his side's start, Clarke said: "It takes a lot to surprise me. I knew when I came into this job that I was inheriting a really good group of players."

Faced with future budget constraints, the Valley View School District Board of Education on Monday night approved $560,000 in administrative cost cuts over the next three years.
The plan includes the elimination of administrative positions and the reclassification of others at lower pay rates, effective July 1. It also includes several changes in benefits to district and school administrators.
Here are some of the changes:
• Reorganize the two assistant superintendent positions to executive director positions with a reduction in salary from $150,000 to $120,000.
• Combine the pre‐K through 5 and 6 through 12 assistant superintendents' positions into one pre‐K through 12 position, salary to be determined.
• Elimination of the assistant director of school community relations for a savings of $50,000.
• Elimination of the administrative consultant for pre‐K through 12 principals and assistant principals for a savings of $50,000.
• A 25 percent reduction in salary for the director of school community relations for a savings of $21,625.
When reasoning for the cuts Monday night, Valley View Superintendent James Mitchem said the focus of the district must remain in the classroom.
"Given the uncertain history of state funding, it is critical for Valley View to live within our financial means, while continuing to keep our children foremost in our minds," Mitchem said.
"As we move forward with the New View, it is imperative that we focus our energy and financial resources on the classroom, making sure our most important asset, our educators, have all the tools they need to help our children succeed."
Beginning with the 2013-14 school year, all administrators will share more in the cost of their own health insurance as well as their family's insurance, if applicable.
This change will result in a savings to the district of roughly $195,000 over three years.
In addition, reductions in the professional development budgets for all Valley View building and district administrators, ranging from 5 to 40 percent, will save the district $105,000 over a three-year period.
Mitchem also indicated that replacing retiring staff over the next three years with staff at lower salary levels will save an additional $220,000.
While the district expressed concern with state funding, it also owes Adventist Bolingbrook Hospital $3.6 million in property tax reimbursements paid to the school district from 2009-11 – taxes the hospital paid under protest as it sought non-profit tax exemptions.

ELMHURST – An Elmhurst resident reported that her children saw their neighbor allegedly taking pictures from inside his front window at 6:49 p.m. Monday in the 800 block of South Mitchell Avenue, according to police reports.
She had reported that the same neighbor allegedly was videotaping her children while they were playing in the front yard last year.
Originally, it appeared to be an isolated incident, but Elmhurst police said they plan to follow up on the matter.

Album titles can be a funny thing. Sometimes artists go for something cryptic or pull a lyric from the center of one of the songs on the disc - a sentiment which seems to sum it up, but only if you listen closely. For her latest release, though, Carrie Newcomer has chosen to cut straight to the heart of the reason she makes music at all.
"When a song places its finger on the open palm of something true," she says, "it shakes the world just a little bit. Why would I want to do anything else as a writer, or as a person? Part of my work as a writer is to put into language and music moments of wonder that have no words."
Kindred Spirits: A Collection delves into the nuances of human commonality. It's a spiritual album, to be sure, but without all the high-fallutin' gospel praise anthems which tie together so many other spiritually-focused recordings. These songs speak for the depth of humanity which transcends anyone's definition of "holy" or "secular"...or any other word, for that matter.
These are songs not about some unseen spiritual force in the air, but that which resides in each person, which moves each of us in the work we do. These are songs of the common bond between my spirit and yours, those between neighbors and others who may agree or disagree, as we all strive to improve the world around us.
On "I Believe," for example, she sings, "I don't know a single soul who didn't get lost along the way." Indeed, finding one's self lost at one time or another is a universal human experience. The gumption we tap to find our way out is the spirit to which she attributes awakening.
On Kindred Spirits, Newcomer enlists the assistance of some like-minded friends - Krista Detor, Mary Chapin Carpenter, and Ayaan Ali Khan - and includes a pair of brand new songs to please long-time fans. Take a listen for yourself, and be reminded that spirit is neither political nor divisive; but, rather, like music, is something which can keep us together.

Final approval has been granted for the Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries (LDWF) 2006 derelict crab trap removal program. This program is viewed as a positive approach to removing derelict crab traps from coastal water and has been very successful in regard to the total number of retrieved traps, volunteer participation, and acceptance by all user groups. In 2004 and 2005, six crab trap cleanups were held and over 11,500 derelict crab traps and over 130 volunteer boat crews participated. This program has been endorsed by the Louisiana Crab Task Force, Louisiana Sea Grant, and Cooperative Extension Service and by conservation organizations such as the Barataria - Terrebonne National Estuary Program, Coastal Conservation Association, and Louisiana Wildlife Federation. A diverse group of volunteers have participated, including commercial crab fishermen, recreational fishermen, concerned individuals, and representatives of conservation and environmental organizations, state and federal agencies, and universities.
One winter trap clean up is planned for a 10-day period from 6:00 a.m., March 4, 2006 through 6:00 a.m. March 13, 2006 in a portion of the Terrebonne Bay estuary as described below:
from a point originating from the intersection of the eastern shoreline of Bayou Dularge and the northern shoreline of Falgout Canal; thence westward along the northern shoreline of Falgout Canal to Lake Decade; thence westward and then southward along the northern and western shoreline of Lake Decade to the mouth of Bayou Decade; thence southwesterly along the northern shoreline of Bayou Decade to Lost Lake; thence westward along the northern shoreline of Lost Lake to the mouth of an unnamed bayou originating from Big Carencro Bayou; thence northward along the eastern shoreline of the unnamed bayou to Big Carencro Bayou; thence northward and then westward along the northern shoreline of Big Carencro Bayou to the eastern shoreline of Four League Bay; thence southwesterly to the northern most point of land on Pointe Au Fer Island at Mosquito Pass; thence southward along the eastern shoreline of Pointe Au Fer Island to the mouth of Oyster Bayou; thence southward along the western shoreline of Oyster Bayou to a point along the inside-outside shrimp line as defined in R.S. 56:495; thence eastward along the inside-outside shrimp line to the eastern shoreline of Bayou Grand Caillou; thence northward to the first red channel marker (No. 10) in Bayou Grand Caillou; thence northward along the red channel markers in Bayou Grand Caillou to channel marker No. 40; thence due eastward to the eastern shoreline of Bayou Grand Caillou; thence northward along the eastern shoreline of Bayou Grand Caillou to the Tennessee Gas Pipeline canal; thence westward along the northern shoreline of the Tennessee Gas Pipeline canal to Bayou Dularge; thence northward along the eastern shoreline of Bayou Dularge and terminating at the intersection of Falgout Canal and Bayou Dularge.
All crab traps remaining in the closure area during the closure period will be considered abandoned and may be collected by anyone. There are, however, several restrictions that pertain to collection of these derelict crab traps. First, crab traps may be removed only between one-half hour before sunrise to one-half hour after sunset. Second, these abandoned crab traps may not be possessed outside of the closure area and must be brought to sites designated by the Secretary of the LDWF. These trap removal regulations do not provide authorization for public access to private property; authorization to access private property can only be provided by individual landowners.
Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries (LDWF) Secretary, Dwight Landreneau, announced designated disposal sites as:
* Falgout Canal Marina on LA Hwy. 315 in Theriot.
* Dularge Indiana Ridge Plantation Property near the end of LA Hwy. 315 just below the protection levee and floodgate.
The LDWF will be coordinating the abandoned crab trap removal efforts, but the program is volunteer-based and cannot succeed without continued public assistance. It provides is an excellent opportunity for everyone who enjoys our coastal waters to work together and to help make a difference. All water-based user groups, including recreational anglers, boaters, waterfowl hunters, and commercial and recreational shrimp and crab fishermen, are encouraged to participate in the trap cleanup. Several types of boats are needed: small shallow-draft boats and air boats to retrieve traps, and larger mother vessels (such as commercial crab boats) to collect traps from smaller boats.
Several primary volunteer days will be emphasized. These volunteer days will be on March 4 and March 11, the first two Saturdays of the closure period. Traps, however, may be retrieved at other times during the closure period.
LDWF personnel will be present at each disposal site on the designated volunteer days beginning at 7:30 a.m. and remaining until approximately 4:00 p.m. to distribute instructions, maps, and supplies (tarps, grappling hooks, garbage bags, and gloves) to the volunteers and to assist with the unloading of derelict traps. First aid kits will be available if needed.
The Barataria-Terrebonne National Estuary Program is helping fund the 2006 abandoned crab trap clean up, and will also provide souvenir caps to all volunteers. State funds are also available from dedicated revenues generated from crab trap license fee increases supported by the Louisiana Crab Task Force.

I am writing a small chat applet. I need to use sockets (instead of HTTP
Tunnelling ) since my protocol demands it.
Now applets have a lot of problems with proxy servers and sockets, however
my applet works if you have a SOCKS server installed.
Most System Admins block access to almost all the ports for security reasons,
due to this I will have to tell the user to atleast allow the applet to talk
to one particular port (say 1234) on the server.
But this is not all, a strict firewall will also not let the applet open
its end of the Socket. What I mean by this is that when a Socket is opened
it connects to the remoteserver:remotepost on the server, but on its side
it also has to open a port, normally this port is taken by the JVM from a
list of free port and bound to the Socket. Thus now the Socket connects to
the remotePort on the Remote PC and the LocalPort it gets on the Local PC.
However when we come to a firewall, it is highly probable that the port the
JVM returns will not be able to make a connection outside. If I could specify
which port the JVM would use then I could tell the System Admin to open that
particular internal port. Right now the way my applet works, I would have
to tell the System Admin to open all the internal ports, which is not a very
wise thing to do.
Because of this I need to use the constructor
Socket s = new Socket(InetAddress,int,InetAddress,int);
But this gives me an error in IE saying
com.ms.security.SecurityException() cannot connect to "abc" where abc is
the name of my proxy server and firewall.
I could still use some help.
Thanks Aly

Summer Dawn Laurie set her sights on the world of children's book publishing in 1997 and has never looked back. She started down this path at Chronicle Books for Children, working in both the marketing and editorial departments. In 2000 she crossed the bay to join Tricycle Press, the children's imprint of Ten Speed Press in Berkeley, California. As Senior Editor, Summer worked on over 50 published books across varied genres—picturebooks, board books, novels, activity books, fiction and non-fiction for young people up to age 12. After seven years she took yet another fork in the road and is now an independent editor, working to strengthen each word her clients write and helping guide them through the often labyrinthine route to publication. Summer is also a children's specialist at independent bookseller Books Inc. where she has started the Wild Girls Mother-Daughter Book Club for girls aged 9-12 years old and their moms.

Julie Romeis Sanders fell in love with reading while hiding under the covers with a book and a flashlight. She rediscovered the wonders of children's books in high school, while working at an independent book and toy store. By 2001, Julie found her dream job helping to launch the U.S. division of Bloomsbury Children's Books. There she edited books for all ages and discovered authors such as Printz Honoree Rick Yancey and author of a Caldecott Honor, Aaron Reynolds. In 2007 she took a turn for the west coast and joined Chronicle Books to grow their fledgling fiction program, create fabulous gift products, and develop unforgettable picture books such as Caldecott Honor Book Flora and the Flamingo by Molly Idle. Julie has also spent many years guiding future editors at the Columbia Publishing Course and encouraging aspiring writers at SCBWI conferences around the world. Now, as a freelance editor, Julie continues to pursue her passion for working with authors, illustrators, agents, and publishers on various editorial and consulting projects. She is also delighted to have returned to her book-selling roots as a children's specialist at independent bookseller Books Inc.

on the duplicate names...there are only two, they are two different colours, and some distance apart...at some time i beleive that even with situation being of historical nature, players must also take some responsibility to examine what they are doing to ascertain the difference between the two duplicates.
I am happy to leave things as is, unless there is a hurricane force for change.

Submission + - Scientist Develops Graph That Depicts Differences Between Geeks And Nerds (dailymail.co.uk)
An anonymous reader writes: This is too fun to not report. The Daily Mail reports, "The debate about the differences between geeks and nerds has been raging for years but a scientist believes he has come up with a mathematical equation that may finally put the argument to rest. Software engineer Burr Settles from Pittsburgh studied the language used in 2.6 million tweets, and also sampled tweets that appeared when he searched for the terms 'geek' and 'nerd'. By comparing tweets in each query, Settles devised a mathematical equation that established the probability of a particular word appearing in a geeky tweet, or a nerdy one. Put more simply, Settles worked out which words were used and associated most by geeks or nerds, and what the differences in subjects and topics were. These words were then plotted on a graph; the further along the horizontal, or x-axis, a word appeared, the more nerdy it was.
.... Commenting on his findings, Settles said: 'In broad strokes, it seems to me that geeky words are more about stuff, while nerdy words are more about ideas. 'Geeks are fans, and fans collect stuff; nerds are practitioners, and practitioners play with ideas. Of course, geeks can collect ideas and nerds play with stuff, too. 'Plus, they aren't two distinct personalities as much as different aspects of personality.'"

Ray Duplantis, registered nurse in the inpatient oncology unit at Terrebonne General Medical Center, is being recognized as an "asset to the profession."
Ray Duplantis, registered nurse in the inpatient oncology unit at Terrebonne General Medical Center, is being recognized as an "asset to the profession."
Duplantis is the recipient of the hospital's Daisy Award for Extraordinary Nurses.
The award recognizes "super-human" efforts nurses perform everyday.
"Although I was surprised to receive the Daisy Award, I am pleased to be recognized for having truly made a difference in the life of one patient and her family," Duplantis said.
Duplantis was nominated by the daughter of one of his patients. She described Duplantis as professional and compassionate enough to make her feel like family and always had the ability to make the patient laugh and feel young at heart.
He not only comforted the patient but also the patient's family after the patient died, said the person who nominated him.
Duplantis has worked at the hospital for 17 years.
"When I began my nursing career, I promised myself to care for each of my patients as I would want my family member cared for," Duplantis said. "My reward has always been knowing, at the end of every shift I have worked, I gave each of my patients the best possible care."
The Daisy Award is given monthly to a nurse at Terrebonne General Medical Center and other hospitals nationwide by The Daisy Foundation. TGMC is one of 708 medical facilities to grant the award.
The Daisy Foundation's goal is to help fight diseases of the immune system, but it also takes time to recognize the sometimes overlooked care nurses provide to patients every day.
The Barnes family founded the DAISY foundation in 1999 after their 33-year-old son, J. Patrick Barnes, died. They wanted to recognize the dedication displayed by his nurses and others in the profession.

WARRNAMBOOL takeaway institution Kermond's Hamburgers has hit the headlines again, not for another hit review but instead for cracking open a quadruple-yolk egg.
Business partner Brett Healey, who has worked in the business for 29 years, cracked the unusual egg last Saturday during the midday lunch rush and did not realise how significant it was until a few days later.
"I didn't realise how important it was, I just told them to take a picture and put it on a burger and kept on going. It was Saturday lunchtime and pretty flat-out," Mr Healey said.
After searching online Mr Healey found that the chance of finding a quadruple-yolk egg was an incredible 11 billion to one.
An unknown customer walked out with it on their burger.
"I reckon that I've cracked between three and four million eggs in my time and I've never seen anything like it," he said.
"My previous best was five consecutive double- yolk eggs, but obviously they weren't one-in-11 billion odds."
Mr Healey is unsure of who supplied the egg — having gone through about 25 boxes of eggs since Christmas — only that it was from one of two suppliers in Terang.
"A few people have told me to buy a lottery ticket, but that's only one in 40 million or something. Anyone can do that," Mr Healey joked.

Then, on the 16th, we heard Susan E. Rice, U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, stolidly deliver the talking points on "Face the Nation":
"Based on the best information we have to date ... it began spontaneously...What's the scope of "it"?
... in Benghazi as a reaction to what had transpired some hours earlier in Cairo, where, of course, as you know, there was a violent protest outside of our embassy sparked by this hateful video. But soon after that spontaneous protest began outside of our consulate in Benghazi, we believe that it looks like extremist elements, individuals, joined in that effort with heavy weapons of the sort that are, unfortunately, readily now available in Libya post-revolution. And that it spun from there into something much, much more violent.... We do not have information at present that leads us to conclude that this was premeditated or preplanned."So there first thing that happened was the video-related protests, and then others joined in, but we don't know whether they did that spur of the moment or if it was planned. "We do not have information" about those"extremist elements, individuals," but we do have "the best information" about things beginning spontaneously.
On the 20th, Jay Carney was saying "It is, I think, self-evident that what happened in Benghazi was a terrorist attack," but claiming a lack of info on whether it was "a significantly preplanned attack" and asserting however much it might have been preplanned — what does "pre-" add to "planned"? — it was still "opportunism, taking advantage of and exploiting what was happening as a result of reaction to the video that was found to be offensive." Note the clever merger of the planned attack with the cover provided by the offense taken at the video.
Obama kept stressing the video and avoiding saying "terrorism," though Hillary Clinton called it terrorism on the 21st. Confronted with her statement on the 25th, Obama would only say we're "still doing an investigation, and "it wasn't just a mob action." That was on "The View."
Yesterday, Carney was asked whether "there any reason why the President did not — he was asked point-blank in The View interview, is this a terrorist attack, yes or no? Is there any reason why he didn't say yes?" Jeez, "The View" was too tough. Carney said:
"He answered the question that he was asked, and there's no reason that he chose the words he did beyond trying to provide a full explanation of his views and his assessment that we need to await further information that the investigation will uncover. But it is certainly the case that it is our view as an administration, the President's view, that it was a terrorist attack."It's our view and his view, but he wouldn't say it on "The View."

With March being designated as Developmental Disabilities Awareness Month, the Arc of Davidson County encourages residents to take a moment and recognize that particular population that has important roles in the community.
With March being designated as Developmental Disabilities Awareness Month, the Arc of Davidson County encourages residents to take a moment and recognize that particular population that has important roles in the community.
Teresa McKeon, executive director of the Arc, said next month provides the opportunity for people to think about their neighbors, church members and workers at the grocery stores, for example, who all may have some kind of developmental disability. The nonprofit organization advocates and serves individuals with intellectual or developmental disabilities such as Down syndrome, autism, fetal alcohol spectrum disorders, cerebral palsy and other diagnoses.
McKeon said there are stigmas about the disability population, and many people just don't have the correct knowledge about those individuals. She encouraged people not to assume but to get to know that population and not judge them.
"(This month) raises awareness of folks who are right next to us," she said. "We want folks to understand a person is a person first. They have the same kind of feelings — anger, sadness and happiness — as people who don't have disabilities. Take time to get to know them."
Throughout the month several activities will promote and protect the rights of individuals with disabilities.
On Monday and Tuesday evenings, the Lexington City Council and Davidson County Board of Commissioners will share proclamations at their meetings, respectively. McKeon noted that several adults living with intellectual and developmental disabilities and self-advocates will attend.
There will also be a display at the Lexington branch of the Davidson County Library during March. McKeon said it will feature pictures of local people with disabilities and a variety of information.
March 6 is considered the "Spread the Word to End the Word Day," which is a campaign that focuses on using the "r" word for respect instead of retarded. McKeon said over the years the word retard was originally a diagnosis that turned into something negative. She invites individuals to sign a pledge — www.r-word.org — not to use the word retard or retarded anymore. She said it's important for people to understand the power of their words.
McKeon commended Central Davidson High School's National Honor Society for taking the initiative another year to promote the campaign. She said last year they created T-shirts to wear around school.
"They have really taken the torch and ran with it. It creates more awareness. I think it's wonderful," McKeon said.
A dance will take place from 7 to 10 p.m. March 8 at First Reformed United Church of Christ. The event is open to all ages and everyone in the community. Admission cost is $3 a person and $5 for two people. Raffle items from businesses will be offered.
"We're celebrating how diversity enriches all of us. We're enriched by the differences," McKeon said.
As part of the organization's monthly meetings, a gathering March 19 at the Davidson County Parks and Recreation building will provide opportunities for families to hear about recreation and leisure as well as Special Olympics and other programs for individuals with disabilities. The time is 6 to 7:30 p.m.
McKeon also mentioned having the opportunity to speak with a radio station that will include interviews of a person with a disability.
The agency provides direct support to more than 20 people through its group home. More than 100 families are involved with the summer camp program in conjunction with Davidson County Parks and Recreation. Up to 50 individuals take part in the monthly support groups. McKeon said there are between 1,500 to 3,000 people in the county with some type of disability.
The Arc is the largest organization advocating for and serving people with intellectual and developmental disabilities. There are more than 700 chapters in more than 30 states.
"We're doing great," McKeon said about the local chapter. "We just want to raise awareness and want the community to notice the people as people, not disabilities."

lleechef Copper River salmon will be available here at our local Giant Eagle on Thursday!! The Copper River is a mile wide and is the 10th largest river in the US. It runs through Wrangell-St. Elias National Park and Preserve which is America's largest national park. The salmon must go 300 miles to reach their spawning grounds which requires extra stores of omega-3 fatty acids. Thus making it some of the best salmon on the planet. (I once had Yukon River king salmon which knocked all salmon out of the ball park.) I expect it to be expensive, probably around $23.00/lb. but it's worth it. I already know "what's for dinner" this Thursday!
agnesrob Hey Lisa, Was the salmon, there in Ohio at least frozen? I know that I never buy fish or shrimp "unfrozen" here unless I can be sure it is available to me as truly fresh and never been frozen. Where I live, many seafood items are much better purchased frozen. We, as a rule, don't get fresh shrimp here, only defrosted, so I would only buy frozen. That goes the same for scallops and King Crab Legs. There are many kinds of fish I can get, depending on the time of year, very fresh such as Cod, Blue Fish and Flounder but I am very picky if I am paying a premium price!

BLUFFTON, Ohio - The Bluffton University men's soccer team (2-7, 1-1 HCAC) lost to Manchester College (2-6-3, 1-0-1 HCAC) 4-1 on Wednesday afternoon.
The Beavers didn't show much excitement on the field as head coach Steve Smucker said, "We played poorly today and didn't train real well yesterday. Manchester is a solid team, but we didn't give them the game we could which is very disappointing."
The few bright spots that the Beavers had came from freshman Ray Voelker (Newbury/Newbury) who had the lone goal. The assist on the goal came from freshman Tyler Chapman (Shreve/Triway). Sophomore goalie Ryan Thomas (Jamestown/Greeneview) had four saves for the Beavers.
Bluffton will back in action this Saturday as they travel to Anderson University. Scheduled start time is 12:30 p.m.

There are many theories on why mech games died out. The question I have is "why are they coming back now?"
Perhaps these two issues are tied closer together than some may think. It's a matter of innovation, I believe. With new concepts made possible through improved network and graphical ability, the once tired mech genre stands a chance to fight again with games like Hawken, MechWarrior Online, and Armored Core V.
After all, it seems throwing a mech into an FPS is the latest gimmick (see: Gears of War, Killzone, F.E.A.R.) Maybe people want a whole game based around that concept? After playing Armored Core V, I have to deduct that people will still be wanting that game.
To put it bluntly, this one just isn't very good.... read more

GIRLS: Prairie View 63, River Oaks 30
Kristen Oliphant led a quartet of starters in double figures as Prairie View clinched the MAIS District 3-2A championship with a 63-30 verdict over River Oaks on Friday night.
Prairie View (23-7, 7-0) scored the first seven and never looked back.
Oliphant connected from the left baseline on the Lady Spartans' second possession to open the scoring. Moments later, Tori Simmons made the front end of a two-shot foul and missed the second, but Dani Anderson converted the follow-up. Capping the early run, Anderson added another bucket from down low on an assist from Sarah Cammarasana.
Prairie View maintained a seven-point lead, 14-7, as time expired in the first quarter.
Simmons started the second half scoring with a pair of free throws, Cammarasana added a transition layup after an Oliphant steal and Kaylah Hobbs scored on a putback to stretch the Lady Spartans' advantage to 20-7.
River Oaks (13-10, 3-4) was never again within single digits.
Hannah Morrison connected from the left baseline to bring the Lady Mustangs within 22-12, but the Lady Spartans responded with an 8-0 flurry. Oliphant had a hand in all eight points, swishing a pair of trifectas and setting up Cammarasana's 12-footer from the right side.
Prairie View held a 39-18 halftime advantage and led by as many as 37, 59-22, late in the third frame.
Oliphant's final line included 14 points — 11 in the first half — seven steals and five assists. She was 4-of-9 from 3-point range. Cammarasana was next with 13 points, Anderson posted a double-double with 11 points and 14 rebounds and Simmons accounted for 11 points.
Jaicie Gilley led the Lady Mustangs with 11 points.
Using the full court press to set up a series of high percentage shots, the Lady Spartans converted 53.7 (30-of-49) of their field goal attempts. Prairie View also shot 40 percent (4-of-10) from 3-point range and 70 percent (7-of-10) from the free throw line.
Prairie View will observe Senior Night prior to Tuesday night's 6 p.m. game against Riverdale. Oliphant and Simmons will be honored before playing in their final home game.
Notes: Making her first varsity start, Cammarasana, a sophomore, had four steals and four assists, along with 13 points. Cammarasana started in place of junior guard Erika Guerrero, who was held out due to an ankle injury. … Guerrero is listed as day-to-day. … Prairie View won its sixth district title in seven years. … The Lady Spartans close out the regular season at River Oaks on Friday, Feb. 8, before heading to Madden, Miss. (Leake Academy) for the North State Tournament. … Victoria Domino scored six of her 10 points in the fourth quarter as the Lady Spartans edged River Oaks 26-23 in the JV game. Trailing 18-11 at halftime, the Lady Spartans outscored the Lady Mustangs 7-0 in the third quarter and 8-5 in the fourth.

Public Interest Law Fascinates Brian Howe, '10
Second year student Brian Howe already knows what he wants to do when he graduates in 2010—practice public interest law. Being involved with the Ohio Innocence Project (OIP) this past year has enabled Howe to experience what it feels like to provide legal assistance to someone who couldn't otherwise afford it. "The experience has been very fulfilling," he said recently. And, he's learning more about the field each day. Howe and OIP partner Eric Gooding are working on many promising cases this year, including a case involving gunshot residue and the challenges this evidence presents. There's so much involved and he's excited to see what the second semester will bring.
The Law and Public Service Intersect
Howe enjoys public service so much that he has made it a point to contribute to public interest efforts while at the law school. He is the chairperson of the Tenant Information Project, the group which helps renters deal with landlord/tenant law issues. "From speaking with Legal Aid, it seems that this is one of the larger areas of law that they need assistance with," explained Howe. "The organization really helps a lot of people, especially this time of year when people are getting their heat shut off. Often, they are unaware of their rights as tenants," he continued. In addition, he has served as a legal public interest volunteer, as well as a judge and attorney for student court. He has done all of this while participating in the Public Interest Law Group (PILG).
Since Howe spent the summer of his first year working in criminal defense, he hopes to experience the civil side of public interest law this coming summer. He is interested in working for public interest organizations such as the Legal Aid Society of Greater Cincinnati or the Ohio Justice and Policy Center, among other places.
Advertising leads to Public Service Career
Before becoming a law student, Howe studied at The Ohio State University. He graduated with a double major in Philosophy and Russian language before moving to Chicago to pursue a career in advertising. "It wasn't very fulfilling as far as doing something worthwhile," he explained. He decided to move back to his hometown to attend law school at UC. He finds the work he's doing at the law school and all that he is learning to be very rewarding.
Recognizing that he works well in a structured atmosphere, Howe treats law school like a job spending time at the school from 9:00 a.m.-5:00 p.m. each day. This has helped him to keep his focus on the "job" at hand. Howe says he has enjoyed taking Constitutional Law with Professor Chris Bryant and plans to take more of Bryant's classes in the future. Additionally, Howe has taken and enjoyed several criminal law classes with Professor Mark Godsey, Faculty Director for the Lois and Richard Rosenthal Institute for Justice/Ohio Innocence Project. His favorite classes, however, have been Criminal Defense Investigation and Discovery, taught by adjunct faculty member Jay Clark. He is a local practitioner specializing in criminal defense. "That class really taught me the practical steps of investigation," explained Howe.
In addition to his public interest work, Howe works on the Law Review and maintains his strong focus on his class work. This has paid off because he is the recipient of numerous awards, including the Gustavus Henry Wald Memorial Prize for Contracts, the Ernest Karam Book Award, and the Thompson Hine Flory Advocacy Prize.
Today, Howe calls Cincinnati home along with his fiancé whom he met in Cincinnati through a friend. The couple plans to be married sometime next fall and Howe would enjoy settling in Cincinnati or Chicago. "I like an urban environment," he said of Cincinnati. One thing is for sure: wherever Howe ends up, he will contribute greatly.

And the five other doggies also! :D:love:
Baby, a 10-year-old pit bull terrier, is being hailed a hero after saving her family from their burning home.
Early Tuesday morning, Baby started barking at her sleeping owners, sisters Rhonda and Evelyn Westenberger, in their Lincoln County, Oklahoma, home.
Then she pounced on them.
"There were flames shooting down the hallway," Rhonda told KOCO. "If Baby hadn't woken Evelyn up, I don't think either one of us would have come out of it."
The women escaped unharmed, but their five other dogs remained trapped inside.
Baby, once again, came to the rescue and led each pup to safety.
"There was one hiding underneath the bed," said family member Charles Land. "Baby actually went in there grabbed it by the neck and drug it outside."
The home was destroyed in the fire fire officials believe the fire started and spread from the home's dryer but, thanks to Baby, everyone made it out alive.

Now a days if you ask for examples of Tsundere from average anime watcher, you get girls like Rin (fate/stay), Asuka (EVA), Naru(Love Hina) and Kallen(Code Geass), the more aggressive ones.
I suppose if you want to you can group Kuudere under the banner of Tsundere as a subtype, but that kind of leaves the "aggressive" version with no specific name. :x
As for Sakaki, hers is more of a case of mistaken identity. XD
I group her under Dandere, who due to her appearance (her height) and unfortunate coincidences ended up getting a "cool girl" image perceived by the rest of the cast.
But we the audience know better right?
I personally don't mind using non-anime slang, for instance girls like Rei(EVA) and Yuki(Haruhi) don't really fit into Kuudere nor Dandere IMO - there is no facade and the dere-dere side is relatively weak nor are they shy.
Ice queen maybe, but they aren't really that cold ... just stoic.
Emotionless Girl is my pick - they are not really completely emotionless, it's just that their emotional side are "weak" (in the case of Rei and Yuki if you have watched those show I think you will know why).
So many opinions and ways to argue. XD
The definition of Tsundere is particularity "divding", hence confusing, which was why I suggested standardizing on terms in the discussion.
This is the problem with language slang I suppose, unlike natural languages themselves or "artificial" computer languages, there is no standardizing authority like dictionaries or standard organisations to properly define things.
I wonder at times what the Japanese (who came up with these terms) think of the terms themselves.
I got a feeling they are just a divided.

Its called taking a trend from a personality trait straight thru to the psychosis version that has a medical label, in other words engaging in hyperbole.

So yes, if I met an anime tsundere, I'd probably want to kill myself, but usually there's more subtle characters that are like that but not nearly as nuts.

It is "cool"
As in "cool-dere", then put into romanji "kuu"-dere.
Also "defrosting ice queen" was a term used long before there was a TV Tropes. Probably long before there was an internet for that matter.

In the original Star Trek pilot episode in 1967, the term "walking freezer unit" was used to define a lady who later got quite hot-blooded. Yeah, the term "ice queen" and thawing/defrosting is quite old. There's a fair connection between that and several types of tsundere.

I thought about starting a new thread... but this will suffice. I have a relationship with a real life small loli-ish tsundere. She's uttered every one of these lines to me, several too many times to count:
(1. sticking her tongue out, 2. cursing at her laptop)
Granted, most of the forum is pretty young... but I'm interested in hearing from anyone who is also attached to such a person.

My wife has said and done things fairly similar to what yours has. She's Chinese, born and raised in China, left home to go to school in Japan when she was 16, graduated college and went to work in Los Angeles where I met her. She can be lovey-dovey one minute, and be psycho-crazy the next. Sure that could be the description of almost any woman, (and probably some guys I know too) but honestly I've never met anyone like her.
She stands her ground and doesn't take guff from anyone. I don't have a lot of time right now but remind me to tell the story of when she was in her mid-30s, she punched a 60-year old+ lady in the face for cutting in line.
So while she isn't really a true tsundere, she's definitely very interesting to be around.

Well, I held off on this thread back when I first saw it,
Thread Necromancy no Jutsu has been initiated due to well,
having encountered one for real.
Now, at first I thought she was really weird for always talking to me in a bitchy way
then sometimes she'd be oddly nice.
Now, I suspected she was into me, but didn't pay much attention to it.
Needless to say, it didn't take long for me to think that maybe she really was a tsundere.
This thought, ofcourse, gave me mixed feelings to say the least.
She eventually confessed, thus proving my suspicions, not that I was too surprised.
The more I think about it, the more I realize how obvious it should have been,
the violent tendencies (she would often kick me),
that embarrassed face when you praise her despite her verbal venom,
any troper would've taken that as proof right then and there.
I suppose it's just one of those things.
Needless to say, tsunderes are a lot of fun, maybe moreso if you can figure it out sooner.
I wish I did.

Read these notes
- All Mepis 12 alpha and beta releases up to and including the current (July 31, 2013) SimplyMEPIS-1.5G_11.9.91 release use /etc/apt/sources.list.d/debian.list and /etc/apt/sources.list.d/mepis.list fragment files instead of a more traditional /etc/apt/sources.list file. The recommendation at this time is to remove the fragment files and replace the existing /etc/apt/sources.list file with the list shown above. Future updates to the mepis-config package may cause the fragment files to be reinstalled so pay attention to updates of that package.
- The entries shown above are set to use the US Debian mirror, you may get better results by changing to a different mirror i.e. "http://ftp.uk.debian.org/debian", "http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian", etc. The complete list of the Debian mirrors can found at http://www.debian.org/mirror/list
- The Community Repository testing repository is disabled for safety. Before you enable it, please see the notes at the Community Repository page.
- The deb-multimedia repository is also disabled for safety because the Community Repository has many of the correct packages needed for your system to work as intended. If you do need some packages from the deb-multimedia repository that are not in the Community Repository (for example libdvdcss2 or Abobe Acrobat Reader) it's OK to install them by temporarily enabling the deb-multimedia repository.

Guns N' Roses Plan 'Big Stuff' for the Future, Says Tommy Stinson
Having recently wrapped up a triumphant return to U.S. soil with a slew of arena dates, Guns N' Roses bassist Tommy Stinson says that the band's forthcoming activity will find them engaging in "big stuff" that will be exciting for GN'R fans.
A noted basketball fan, Stinson found time to catch a Philadelphia 76ers game last week, and reporter Matt Cord caught up with him to talk about his b-ball love, promotional plans for his new solo album and what's next on deck for Guns N' Roses.
So what is next? Stinson was coy with his answer and said, "I can't say officially, but we're leaving again in two weeks. We're planning some stuff. It's all big stuff. When I call you in two weeks and tell you, you're gonna go, 'I wanna come!' It's gonna be awesome though."
What might that "big stuff" be? Within the world of Axl Rose, it could be a lot of things. Guitarist DJ Ashba said recently that making a new album is at the top of their priority list and he says that he and Axl have been working to compile material for what would be the seventh Guns album and the first with the current lineup.
Stinson told Cord that Ashba has been an important addition to the lineup and he thinks that fans are really responding to him well.
In a posting on his website, Stinson said that the camaraderie on the recent tour was the best that it has been in the 14 years that he has been with the band. He says, "I think we all went home inspired by the possibilities."
In between his current GN'R commitments, Stinson plans to play some solo shows in support of his new solo album, 'One Man Mutiny,' which is available from his official website. A portion of the proceeds from sales of the disc will be going to help benefit schools in Haiti.

Commission's Accrediting Committee Elects Co-Chairs for 2013-14
SACRAMENTO — The Commission on Teacher Credentialing's (Commission) Committee on Accreditation (COA) elected two experienced California educators to lead the COA in 2013-14: Kenneth Lopour, representing the K-12 community; and University of San Diego Professor Reyes L. Quezada, Ed.D, representing the higher education community.
Kenneth Lopour is an Assistant Principal at Canyon High School in Anaheim, Calif. He has also been an administrator at New Millennium Secondary School in Carson, Calif., and has taught in San Francisco, Orange County and Los Angeles County. He received his B.A. in Sociology and his teaching credential from San Francisco State University, and his M.Ed. in Educational Leadership as well as an administrative credential from California State University, Fullerton.
Dr. Reyes L. Quezada is a Professor of Education at the University of San Diego's School of Leadership and Education's Department of Learning and Teaching. Dr. Reyes has been a teacher and teacher educator for the past 30 years. He has been a professor at the University of Redlands, California State University, Stanislaus, and an adjunct professor at San Diego State University as well as at California State University, San Bernardino. He holds a California Multiple-Subjects Bilingual Emphasis Teaching credential-Spanish and Community College credentials in Counselor Education, Supervision, Psychology. His degrees include a B.A. from San Jose State University, a M.Ed. from the University of San Diego, an M.A. from San Diego State University, an Educational Specialist degree from Point Loma Nazarene College and a doctorate from Northern Arizona University.
The COA is a statutory committee appointed by the Commission charged with deciding on the accreditation of educator preparation programs, determining the comparability of national or alternative program standards with California standards of educator preparation, and bringing accreditation recommendations before the Commission for approval.
"Accreditation" is the approval process that all educator preparation programs must undergo in order to prepare licensed educators in California. The educator preparation accreditation system focuses on the demonstrated competence of California's educators.
The system features ongoing data collection and a seven-year cycle of activities, including at least one site visit. The COA can determine at any point if program intervention or assistance is needed. This accreditation process is designed to assure the public and the policy makers that these programs are effectively training school personnel to function in the credential areas for which they are being prepared.
Evidence of the accreditation system's success is the continuing viability of programs that produce effective educators for California's students.

Jaromir Jagr said he barely slept the last two nights after he was traded to the Bruins from Dallas Tuesday and then tried to get comfortable in his new city Wednesday.
After he scored the lone goal in the Bruins' 1-0 win against New Jersey at TD Garden Thursday, Jagr could rest assured that he's already made the type of impact the Bruins wanted from him.
Jagr scored the goal 1:20 into the second period off a feed from Brad Marchand. The speedy winger streaked down the left side before his pass deflected off Jagr's left skate into the goal behind Martin Brodeur.
"Sometimes you have to be lucky to score, and I think that's the first time I scored with my leg I guess," Jagr said. "When I was 25, I wouldn't have liked that goal, but at 41 I'll take anything right now."
Jagr logged 19:12 of ice time and fired five shots on net. He was on the ice for an entire power play at one point, which wasn't necessarily by design. He blocked one shot and threw a hit. Despite his offensive heroics, Jagr was apologetic to his linemates Brad Marchand and Tyler Seguin, and his new team as a whole.
"I told them, 'I've got to get better.' I felt bad for them they had to play with me, but I've got to get better. That's for sure," Jagr explained.
Luckily for Jagr, he had his speedy young linemates to set him up in a crucial situation.
"I knew it was coming," Jagr said of Marchand's pass. "They always said, 'You've got to drive to the net,' and now I understand why they were saying that, and I never really drive to the net, now I know why. If I knew it when I was 20 I would have 100 more goals by now."

If Panthers center Ryan Kalil wants to take out another newspaper ad this year, he'll be paying for it out of the proceeds from a restructured contract.
Pat Yasinskas of ESPN.com reports that Kalil and the Panthers have agreed to reshape his deal ahead of the start of free agency. Kalil was set to make $4.75 million in 2013, but he converted four million of that toward a $5 million signing bonus. The move slashes Kalil's cap figure from $8.6 million to $6.4 million and he remains under contract through the 2016 season.
The Panthers are now about $11 million over the cap. They need to get in compliance by the March 12 start of free agency, so there will be more restructures or releases coming out of Carolina in the next month.
Kalil went on injured reserve in October with a Lisfranc injury. He's expected to be healthy enough to participate in the team's offseason program.

Maxwell Mensinger '13 wants more people to start talking about the ethical implications of drone warfare — and at Willamette University's Student Scholarship Recognition Day his wish came true.
"The notion of open and honest speech is pivotal to my project's message," he says. "Presenting at SSRD allowed me to bring my research full circle; it allowed me to start a conversation."
Mensinger was one of more than 200 students who shared their research findings at the 13th annual SSRD on April 17.
Throughout the day students presented their senior capstone research projects or independent research, while others displayed original works in fine and performing arts.
Regular classes were canceled — allowing students to explore the wide variety of talks, performances and posters.
"For more than a decade, SSRD has allowed the campus to join together in a diverse ritual of sharing our research and creative work with each other and increasingly with our Salem community," says David Craig, who serves on the SSRD faculty committee.
"We don't really 'cancel' classes so much as we liberally and artfully abandon our regular schedule to let curiosity, friendship and commitment determine where we spend our time."
Original Research
With so many fascinating options — including, "The Criminalization of Latinos Under the 'War on Terrorism,'" "Bicycle Physics: Dynamic Lateral Displacement and Analysis of Bicycle Wheels," and "Tweens, Teenagers and Songs of a Generation: Music as an Alternative Religion for Modern Youth" — choosing which talks to attend wasn't easy.
In one presentation, Meagan Hash '13 — an environmental science major — discussed her thesis research on improving the tracking efficiency of wolves. Most of the audience probably didn't know that when wolf researchers howl, wolf pups will howl back. Hash says the howling pups helped her research team locate wolf pack homesites, allowing them to collect data.
Mensinger — the 2013 Presidential Scholar— also captivated his audience with surprising facts and figures. Despite controversies surrounding targeted strikes, a recent poll found that 83% of Americans approve the use of drones. With drone warfare on the rise, he asked the audience to consider the moral issues surrounding the ability to kill from halfway around the globe.
By allowing students to pose challenging questions and share original research with the campus community, Hash says both the presenters and the audience benefit from SSRD.
"Having a program like SSRD at Willamette allows students to be exposed to various student research and thesis projects that otherwise go unrecognized," she says. "It gave me a chance to share my research with a wider audience than just the environmental science department and inspire underclassmen for their future research."
Engaging Others
This year, SSRD also attracted high school students to campus as part of the Salem-Keizer School District's Science Expo Darwin Discovery Days Program.
At the TOPX session, four outstanding scholars presented their diverse works and discoveries to an audience that included 400 high school students from the Salem area.
Students also organized a "Breaking the Bubble" event, which promoted conversations between Willamette students and Salem professionals who work to serve the broader community.
"SSRD is a day in which we manifest our motto, 'Not unto ourselves alone are we born,'" Craig says.
"We pause in our personal and sometimes isolating aspect of scholarship to explicitly engage an audience greater than ourselves."

Anderlecht 1-0 Zenit: Battling Belgians boost qualification hopes
A first-half goal from Dieumerci Mbokani was enough for Anderlecht to grab all three points against a lacklustreZenit side and keep their hopes of qualification for the knock-out rounds alive.
The Congo striker combined superbly with Sacha Kljestan before clipping the ball over Vyacheslav Malafeev to settle a tense match in Brussels, in which the Russian side struggled to create any chance of note in the absence of Brazil international Hulk.
Anderlecht surprisingly elected to leave Tom De Sutter on the bench despite his recent form in front of goal, with Mbokani starting as the lone striker in his stead.
Igor Denisov returned to the starting line-up for the hosts after he was welcomed back into the squad following his off-the-field disputes with the club, whilst Vlad imir Bystrov replaced Brazil forward Hulk in support of striker Aleksandr Kerzhakov.
Mbokani was presented with the first opening of the match after less than a minute, when Milan Jovanovic's cross was missed by Tomas Hubocan and slmost bounced kindly for the striker, but he was unable to bring it under control.
Nicolas Lombaerts then had Silvio Proto worried when his snap-shot from the edge of the area almost wrong-footed the keeper, before Sergey Semak fired over the bar from close range after a superb turn and cross from Bystrov.
Anderlecht looked the brighter side in the opening exchanges and, with just over a quarter of an hour gone, Mbokani justified his selection with a superbly-taken strike, linking up with Kljestan on the edge of the box and dinking it over Malafeev to notch his side's first in the competition this season.
Anderlec ht were playing with real confidence - Jovanovic forced Malafeev into a fingertip save before Behrang Safari's dangerous run and cross was cleared by Lombaerts.
Zenit began to get a foothold on the ball but were unable to make any real attacking headway, with Axel Witsel's booking for a clumsy challenge an embodiment of the frustration within the Russian ranks.
Luciano Spalletti brought on Danny at the break to spark some life into his attack, and the 29-year-old almost had an immediate impact when his dangerous free-kick fell to the feel of Axel Witsel, only for Proto to deny the Belgian with a smart save.
Dennis Praet, a lively presence throughout, provided Massimo Bruno with an opening which was snuffed out by Lombaerts, before some clever interplay between Safari and Lucas Biglia almost carved out a second for Anderlecht a moment later.
Chances were few and far between for much of the match, with Anderlecht all too often winnin g the battle in midfield to prevent the visitors from making any real headway in the final third while the centre-back duo of Kouyate and Bram Nuytinck were immense at the heart of the hosts' defence.
Anderlecht continued to look the more likely to score and substitute Oleksandr Iakovenko came close to doing just that with ten minutes to go, lashing the ball against the crossbar following Kanu's flick-on, with replays showing that only a crucial touch from Malafeev denied the winger a goal.
Kanu then lashed an effort from the edge of the area wide of the mark before a last-ditch tackle from Anyukov denied him a clear sight of goal inside the box following good work from Mbokani.
Zenit threw men forward late on but were unable to carve out a meaningful chance, and the hosts clung on for a deserved three points, heaping more pressure on Spalletti's already-burdened shoulders.
