If a single dead bird is a bad omen, then what are the 1,000 dead birds that fell from the sky in Arkansas this past weekend? It's especially frightening on New Year's Day -- a day that is already fraught with meaning. What does that say about the year to come?
Different news reports have different numbers, but the number of birds that fell was well over 1,000 according to most, and there's still no good explanation. Pretty terrifying, really. The birds had fallen Friday night over a 1-mile area of Beebe, Arkansas, and an aerial survey indicated that no other dead birds were found outside of that area. According to The Huffington Post:
The workers from U.S. Environmental Services started the cleanup Saturday ... The workers wore the suits as a matter of routine and not out of fear that the birds might be contaminated. Speculation on the cause is not focusing on disease or poisoning.
A thousand dead birds on the first day of the new year (1/1/11). Does anyone else think this is a bad omen?
The Arkansas Game and Fish Commission (AGFC) began receiving reports about dead birds at 11:30pm on New Year's Eve. "I thought the mayor was messing with me when he called me," Milton McCullar, a town street supervisor, told local television station, according to Time. "He got me up at 4'oclock in the morning and told me we had birds falling out of the sky."
It's also not the only strange thing in the area. Near Little Rock, Arkansas, more than 100,000 fish were also killed by something in the Arkansas River. Although CNN reports that the two aren't related, there does seem to be something fishy (pun intended). But what?
Is this merely a coincidence? Or a religious thing? With the proximity to the new year, it would be easy to read into the death of so many blackbirds, which are traditionally a good omen if alive and also carry with them a bit of otherworldly power (according to superstition). What does it mean when they drop out of the sky by the thousands?
Only time will tell, of course, but it's a bit uneasy to start to a time of the year that's usually filled with such promise and hope. Our new beginning came at the end for more than 1,000 birds. And while time and the way we mark it is merely a construct, it's still an unsettling way to start 2011.
What do you think it means?

Problems in the structure of the jaw joint include:
Injury to the
temporomandibular (TM) joint most commonly occurs when
too much stress is placed on the joint by:
These stressors can cause the articular disc to shift out of its
normal position (disc displacement). Because this disc cushions the joint
between the jawbone (mandible) and the skull, displacement can result in pain
and locking of the joint.
A blow to the jaw, TM joint dislocation, or jaw fracture can also
result in TM disorder symptoms.

(CNN) – This Thanksgiving will be the busiest ever for air travel, according to the Transportation Security Administration.
The TSA expects to screen up to 2.6 million people per day leading up to the holiday and 2.7 million the Sunday after.
That's up at least 25 percent from normal daily numbers.
But if you're flying on Thanksgiving Day or Black Friday, you'll catch a break and can expect light travel days.
Here are TSA's numbers from last year:

- Quantitate gene expression in cells--without isolating RNA
- 5 minute cell lysis procedure
- Ideal for monitoring siRNA-induced knockdown
- Compatible with TaqMan® Gene Expression Assays and SYBR® Green
- qRT-PCR from lysate equivalent to 3 cells
- Easily adapted to high throughput analysis
Real-time quantitative RT-PCR (qRT-PCR) is the most sensitive technique for mRNA detection and quantitation currently available. qRT-PCR is also the preferred method for validating array analysis results, RNA interference experiments, and other techniques that evaluate gene expression changes. Ambion's Cells-to-Signal™ Kit (patent pending) is an improvement to the popular Cells-to-cDNA™ II Kit for cell lysate preparation for direct use in real-time qRT-PCR experiments. The kit uses a chemical lysis method to create cell lysates in less than 5 minutes at room temperature. The cell lysate can be used directly for RT-PCR when PCR primers are designed to span intron-exon boundaries, bypassing RNA isolation altogether. Lysates can be stored for future experiments. The Cells-to-Signal procedure is highly reproducible and is compatible with a wide variety of cell types. These improvements result in a single-step procedure that is optimized for high throughput analyses -- both for manual processing and on robotic platforms.
Compatible with TaqMan Gene Expression Assays
Applied Biosystems® pre-designed primer and probe sets for real-time PCR are one of the most commonly used methods for measuring changes in gene expression by qRT-PCR. The Cells-to-Signal technology is compatible with TaqMan Gene Expression Assays (formerly known as Assays-on-Demand™). Figures 1 and 2 show data generated in one-step real-time RT-PCR using TaqMan Gene Expression Assays for human GSK-3ß and VEG-F. In addition, the data (Figure 2) also demonstrate that the Cells-to-Signal procedure is sensitive enough to detect target in lysate equivalent to 3 cells.
Figure 1. qRT-PCR Detection of GSK-3ß Using TaqMan® Gene Expression Assays and Cells-to-Signal™. HeLa cells were lysed at concentrations of 1000, 200, 40, 8, and 1.6 cells/µl according to the Cells-to-Signal lysis procedure. 6 µl of cell lysate was used in a 20 µl one-step RT-PCR using a TaqMan Gene Expression Assay primer and probe set specific for GSK-3ß.
Figure 2. qRT-PCR Detection of VEG-F Using TaqMan® Gene Expression Assays and Cells-to-Signal™. HeLa cells were lysed at concentrations of 1000, 100, 10 and 1 cells/µl according to the Cells-to-Signal lysis procedure. 3 µl of cell lysate was used in a 10 µl one step RT-PCR using a TaqMan Gene Expression Assay primer and probe set specific for VEG-F.
Measuring siRNA Induced Knockdown
siRNA induced knockdown of gene expression is now one of the most widely used methods to determine gene function. Scientists at Ambion performed a study using cultured HeLa and MCF-7 cells transfected with 3 nM of chemically synthesized siRNA targeting GAPDH to demonstrate the effectiveness of the Cells-to-Signal Kit for measuring knockdown of gene expression (Figure 3). As expected, the expression levels of both GAPDH was down-regulated by more than 80% compared to cells transfected with a scrambled control, while the expression of 18S rRNA was unchanged.
Figure 3. Cells-to-Signal™ is Ideal for Measuring siRNA Induced Knockdown of Gene Expression. HeLa cells were plated in a 24 well plate at 30,000 cells/well. Cells were transfected with either a scrambled control (green) or with an siRNA to GAPDH (blue) at a concentration of 30 nM. After 48 hours, the cells were harvested and lysed in the Cells-to-Signal Lysis Buffer in a final volume of 500 µl. 3 µl of the cell lysate was used in one step RT-PCR, using a TaqMan® primer and probe set for GAPDH. GAPDH signals were normalized using 18S as an internal control (pink).
Ideal for High Throughput
The quick and simple Cells-to-Signal protocol can be easily adapted to a 96 or 384 well format, thus enabling the simultaneous analyses of multiple cell samples. The protocol will afford excellent reproducibility as seen in Figure 4 where VEG-F and GAPDH expression levels were determined in HeLa and MCF-7 cells grown in a 96 well plate.
Figure 4. Measurement of GAPDH and VEG-F Expression Levels in a 96 well Format Using Cells-to-Signal™. 3000 HeLa or MCF-7 cells were plated in 48 wells each of the same 96 well plate. Cells were grown for 24 hours, media was removed, and cells were washed once with 200 µl of 1X PBS. 200 µl of the Cells-to-Signal Lysis Buffer were added to the cells, and the plates were incubated for 5 min at room temperature. 3 µl of lysate were used in a 10 µl one-step RT-PCR using TaqMan® Gene Expression Assay for GAPDH or VEG-F. The two amplification curves on the left are for GAPDH, and the curves on the right are for VEG-F. The amplification curves in red and dark green were generated using HeLa cell lysate. The amplification curves in purple and light green were generated using lysate prepared from MCF-7 cells.
SYBR® Green Detection
Real-time detection of PCR products using SYBR Green is a commonly used method to quantitate gene expression by RT-PCR. Though SYBR Green detection requires more optimization than other real-time PCR detection techniques, it is economical and can be carried out on virtually any real-time detection platform. The Cells-to-Signal Kit is compatible with SYBR Green detection used with two-step RT-PCR.
Long-term Stability
When working with multiple cell samples, it is not always feasible to simultaneously process them all. Likewise, cell lysates may be needed at a later stage for repeating prior experiments or for quantitating the expression of different genes from the same sample. Lysates made with the Cells-to-Signal Kit can be safely stored at -20°C for two months or longer without RNA degradation (Figure 5).
Figure 5. Stability of Cells-to-Signal™ Lysates. HeLa cells were lysed at a concentration of 1000 cells/µl using the Cells-to-Signal Lysis Buffer. 100 µl aliquots of the lysate were stored for two months at -80ºC or -20ºC. Ambion's RNAqueous® Kit was then used to isolate total RNA from each aliquot along with an aliquot of lysate that was freshly prepared (not stored). RNA isolated from an equivalent number of cells processed using the RNAqueous procedure is shown on the far right. The RNA samples were analyzed on an RNA LabChip® using the Agilent 2100 bioanalyzer and show rRNA bands
Complete Kit for Cell Lysis and cDNA Synthesis
The Cells-to-Signal Kits contain reagents for 30 or 100 reverse transcription reactions, including M-MLV RT, oligo(dT)18 primers, and random decamer primers. Up to 5 x 10 4 cells per reaction can be used for the lysis step; up to 30% of the RT reaction volume can consist of cell lysate. Ambion scientists have used the Cells-to-Signal Kit with cell lines including HeLa, HeLa S3, 293, A549, MCF-7, K562, SKNAS and NHDF-neo cells, and we continue to test other cell types. The kit contains a positive control RNA and complementary primers for optimizing the procedure. This control can be added with the lysis solution to monitor the efficiency of the procedure. SuperTaq™ Polymerase is available separately.

Security updates from Sun and VMware make it a busy day for patching on Thursday.
Sun Java 6.0 Update 11 addresses multiple security and performance bugs in Java Runtime Environment and Java SE Development software, as explained in release notes from Sun here. The one-line descriptions of the 18 bugs addressed by the update, published on Wednesday, make drawing too many conclusions about their seriousness tricky.
Some of the descriptions link to more details which show that the most severe "high-risk" flaws involve "serious rendering issues on Nvidia boards with driver version 178.13 on Vista", as well as bugs in JTree, JFileChooser and IM Candidate, among other components. Multiple bugs in Java plugins also earn the high-risk badge.
The release notes from Sun make for a dense read but are the best reference point on the update. Summaries from US-CERT and the Internet Storm Centre published thus far simply link back to Sun's advisory.
VMWare separately published a security advisory on Tuesday that addresses two potentially serious security vulnerabilities affecting a range of products from the virtualisation vendor. The first bug involves a critical memory corruption flaw in virtual device hardware, while the other concerns flaws in bzip2, a service console package. Bugs in the package mean applications that use it are liable to crash when decompressing malformed archives. The two flaws affect various versions of VMware Workstation, Player, Server, ESX and ESX(i). Patches for affected versions are largely available, with a couple of exceptions. The patching matrix is fairly complicated and best explained by reference to VMWare's advisory here.
VMWare also, on Tuesday, revised a security advisory first published in October. Updated ESX packages for libxml2, ucd-snmp, libtiff are now available for version 3.5 of the enterprise virtualisation product, it said. ®

Cody Simpson Opens Up About Songwriting Inspiration [EXCLUSIVE VIDEO]
Most couples turn to the radio or their iTunes library when it comes to choosing "their" song. Not Cody Simpson.
When the singer chatted with PopCrush this spring, he admitted that instead of associating other songs with a relationship, he writes his own! (Are you swooning yet, Simpsonizers? We are.)
"As far as music relating to crushes and girls, I never took other songs and related them to them," Cody explained. "I would write my own. That was my way of doing so."
Of course, we're not surprised to hear that Cody writes love songs for special ladies in his life. After all, earlier this year, the 'Surfboard' singer chatting with PopCrush about the art of writing a love song.
"To be honest, most of my most meaningful songs are written in my bedroom with my guitar," he said. "Some of them have never come out because they're personal, and some of them are out there, but to be honest, the way I write is if someone really inspires me to write one ... It's a simple, basically sitting in bed, just overwhelmed by the whole feeling, pouring it all out with the guitar. It's a really cool feeling, you know?
See Cody talk about how women inspire his songwriting in the video above!

You may have seen Anna's (twice!) and Vanessa's versions of Figgy's Ayashe blouse-once I saw them I HAD to get my hands on my own copy! I haven't had a chance to make the skirt yet, but I got a blouse made the other day-and I am in love! It's such a simple top but with quite a few ways to change it up. I love the little details like the gathering near the shoulders on the front, and the way it's finished on the inside is quite brilliant. Although honestly I couldn't figure out the collar instructions so I winged it. (there is a reason why I make my own patterns lots of the time….I'm a bit defunct at reading patterns.)
haha, Sadie looks like a child of the 70's in this picture! I think the fabric I used would be a lot cuter with some white leggings. Groovy. Fabric is from the Denyse Schmidt, Hope Valley line.
I made a size 2/3 and it fit the Sadester great-though I think I might lengthen it just a tad next time. Oh and there will be a next time, if I haven't already made one by the time you read this post. Oh what's this!?
Hello cutie!
Hey how would you like your own copy of the Ayashe blouse and skirt pattern?
Check out their awesome selection of patterns and let me know a few of your faves in a comment on this post and I'll pick a winner Sunday night! Make sure to leave an email so I can get a hold of you if you win!
The winner is….sewVery!

For the last 4 years, I've been in a book club with about 5 friends. The members have shifted slightly, with a couple people leaving and returning because of school or other commitments, but the core group has been meeting every few months since spring of 2008. We've focused on classic literature for the most part, but have also sprinkled in some sci-fi, current fiction, children's literature, and will soon add a graphic novel to our list.
I always look forward to our meetings, which combine spirited and sharp but unpretentious discussion of the books with wine, friendly company, and typically some good snacks! Sometimes we meet at a restaurant or café, but more often we meet at someone's house. The last meeting was at Ian & Michelle's, and Ian had made profiteroles with caramel sauce; the one before that was at Sarah's and we had smoky, marinated grilled shrimp and other goodies. See what I mean?
Last weekend it was my turn to host. I wasn't sure what to make because the meeting was at an odd time of day (1pm); I didn't know if people would have just eaten lunch, or if I should plan to serve a light lunch. A serendipitous combination of eggs on sale plus a small piece of smoked salmon led me to this combination, a variation on some tuna-stuffed deviled eggs I did last year (those were good, but I have to say these were way better). The eggs were on sale because they were a little older- i.e., perfect for hard-boiling (less fresh eggs are much easier to peel). The salmon was too small a piece to serve on its own, but a perfect size to lend its flavor to the egg filling. Add some crème fraîche, capers and shallot or red onion and you're in business.
I also put out a salad of equal parts roasted squash and beets dressed with lemon juice, shallots, feta and parsley. Super simple but beautiful to look at, and a great flavor combination, the sharpness of the shallot and lemon balancing the sugar-sweet beets and squash. With a couple other contributions from my guests, it ended up being a nice little spread. Food was noshed, wine and tea were sipped, and art history books were consulted as we tried to find images that corresponded to the culture the book was about (we had read Things Fall Apart, about the Igbo people in Nigeria at the start of colonialism).
Despite some people having "already eaten", the food got pretty well demolished. I'm just noticing that I've gotten through this post without really mentioning just how very awesome the eggs turned out, but suffice it to say that I don't think I can ever go back to "plain" deviled eggs. With the brunch-y combination of smoked salmon, capers and onion, these would be great as part of a brunch buffet if you wanted to serve eggs without having to keep them hot… I can just taste them with a bloody mary. For those of you who partake in football-spectating, they'd make excellent finger food for a certain upcoming big game. Or, you could always start a book club.
Smoked Salmon Deviled Eggs
printer-friendly version
1 dozen large eggs, preferably not super fresh
3-oz piece of hot-smoked salmon
⅓ cup crème fraîche (you could try subbing sour cream or labneh)
juice of half a lemon (or more to taste)
3 Tbs capers, drained
¼ cup chopped red onion or 1 large shallot, minced
salt & pepper to taste
Put the eggs in a pot large enough to hold them in a single layer and add enough water to cover completely. Cover and bring to the boil. When water reaches a rolling boil, turn off heat and let eggs sit in hot water, covered, for 12 minutes. Drain and cover in cold water. You can crack the shells to get them to cool faster. When cool enough to handle, peel, cut in half lengthwise, and gently scoop the yolks into a medium bowl.
Allow yolks to cool to room temperature. Mash well with crème fraîche and lemon juice until no lumps remain (for a really smooth, fluffy texture, use a stick blender). Stir in the onion or shallots and capers. Flake the salmon and fold in; do not overmix. You want the salmon to be incorporated but to retain some texture. Taste and season with salt and pepper- how much salt depends on how salty your capers and salmon are- and additional lemon juice, if needed. Stuff the egg whites with as much filling as they'll hold (if there's a little left over, consider it the cook's treat). If desired, garnish with a little minced fresh parsley or paprika.

In simple terms, there are two routes to processor performance. Either crank up the clockspeeds or build an architecture that can crunch lots of instructions in a single clock cycle. Unfortunately for AMD, the new Phenom falls flat on both counts.
Not much of an improvement
For now, the 2.3GHz clockspeed of this chip is the best AMD can do. But the real problem is that the processor architecture that underlies Phenom is only slightly faster, in clock-for-clock terms, than AMD's outgoing Athlon 64 chips.
Even running at 2.9GHz, Phenom lags significantly behind the mainstream 2.83GHz competition from Intel, much less Intel's top chip tweaked to run at 4GHz. The harsh truth is that AMD will have to shave as much as £50 off the price tag to make the 9600 truly attractive.

ANAHEIM, Calif. (AP) Jamaal Franklin scored 21 of his 28 points in the second half and No. 23 San Diego State tied a season high with 11 3-pointers to win its fifth in a row, 78-69 over UCLA in the John R. Wooden Classic on Saturday night.
The Aztecs (5-1) ended an eight-game skid against the Bruins (5-3), beating them for the first time since Dec. 7, 1940.
The teams were meeting for the first time since 1991 in a game named for the late UCLA coach.
Xavier Thames added 19 points, including five 3-pointers, and DeShawn Stephens had 12 points after playing just five minutes because of a hip pointer in San Diego State's previous game against Southern California.
The Aztecs had strong support and noisier fans in the announced crowd of 17,204 at Honda Center.
Jordan Adams scored a career-high 23 points, hitting five 3-pointers, Shabazz Muhammad added 16 points, Norman Powell had 10 points and Larry Drew had 11 assists.
The Bruins made eight 3-pointers, one off their season high of nine.
The teams traded 3-pointers to start the second half, with Adams hitting three in a row to pull the Bruins into a tie at 38-all.
Thames answered with two straight 3s and Franklin added another one to give the Aztecs the lead for good, 49-43.
The Bruins closed to 56-53 on Muhammad's first basket of the second half. The Aztecs outscored the Bruins 11-2, with Thames hitting their 11th 3-pointer and making two free throws in the spurt that gave San Diego State its largest lead at 67-55.
Muhammad and Adams combined to score six straight points and draw the Bruins to 69-64 with 2 minutes left. Franklin made 9 of 10 free throws in the final 1:38.
UCLA was searching for a win over a ranked opponent after falling out of the Top 25 this week after a two-point upset loss to Cal Poly last weekend.
The teams played evenly throughout the first half, with the Aztecs leading 31-29 at the break.
The Bruins fell to 11-5 in the Wooden Classic, formerly a doubleheader event.

"The Genius"
"I think the creative and innovative coaches are the ones who are introspective; ones who like to develop their ideas; ones who take a look at all the equations and want to find the right answers."
(San Jose State)...
William Ernest Walsh. . .Led 49ers to three Super Bowl wins (XVI, XIX, XXIII) in 10 years. . .Overall record: 102-63-1. . . Got first head coaching job at age 47. . .Led 49ers to first-ever NFL title in just three years. . . Won six NFC Western division titles, three NFC championships. . .NFL Coach of Year, 1981; NFC Coach of Year, 1984. . .Widely recognized as passing offense expert with keen ability to evaluate talent. . . Born November 30, 1931, in Los Angeles, California. . .Died July 30, 2007, at age of 75.
Bill Walsh got his first job as a head coach in the pros at the age of 47 in 1979 when the San Francisco 49ers named him head coach and general manager. The 49ers had won just 31 of their last 86 games and were 2-14 in 1978.
But Walsh was up to the challenge and in just three years provided the 49ers with their first-ever National Football League championship with a 26-21 victory over the Cincinnati Bengals in Super Bowl XVI. It was the first of a great string of successes for Walsh.
In his 10 seasons as head coach of the 49ers, Walsh compiled an impressive 102-63-1 mark that included 10 wins in 14 postseason games. Under Walsh, the 49ers won six NFC Western Division championships and NFC titles in 1981, 1984, and 1988. Those NFC titles were followed with victories in Super Bowls XVI, XIX, and XXIII which made the 49ers, by every measurement, the NFL team of the 1980s.
In seven of Walsh's last eight seasons, the 49ers won 10 or more games and appeared in the NFC playoffs. The 49ers advanced to the NFC title game against the Washington Redskins in 1983 and to the first playoff round in 1985, 1986, and 1987. Walsh was named the NFL Coach of the Year in 1981 and and NFC Coach of the Year in 1984.
Bill began his pro coaching career as an assistant with the Oakland Raiders in 1966. He then served with the Cincinnati Bengals from 1968 to 1975 and the San Diego Chargers In 1976. While he was still an assistant coach, Walsh developed the reputation for being a superb offensive coach who specialized in the passing game. He is credited with shaping Ken Anderson of the Bengals, Dan Fouts of the Chargers and Joe Montana of the 49ers into outstanding quarterbacks.

Staff Picks: The Most Romantic Restaurants in Chicago
As cookie-cutter and generic as Valentine's Day may seem, it's important to remember that romance is a deeply personal experience. So, it makes sense that what constitutes as a "romantic" restaurant depends entirely on the couple. Some crave the casual comforts of the charming and cozy neighborhood joint, while others want to splurge on fine champagne and pampered service.
Instead of rattling off a list of the most traditionally romantic restaurants in town, each of us at Serious Eats Chicago picked out the one place we'd most like to spend time with our significant other.
Check out all of our picks by clicking on the slideshow. Of course, we'd love your opinion on the most romantic restaurants in town. Let us know!

Dawson can stop his crying now.
News that James Van Der Beek is set to play himself in a sitcom pilot for ABC is enough to put a smile on the faces of those who remember him as the sensitive star of the late 1990s teen melodrama "Dawson's Creek" as well as a younger crowd more recently introduced to him through the viral video snippet of his character weeping.
For Van Deer Beek, the TV role marks a big step in a comeback that began, in unlikely fashion, with the crying meme, which he cleverly exploited last month by launching a website and series of (mostly) hilarious self-spoofing videos on Funny or Die.
Van Der Beek's return – as himself – also comes at a time when we're bombarded by celebrities and pseudo-celebrities playing versions of themselves in scripted fare and in so-called Reality TV shows. It may soon get to the point where we won't be able to tell where the reality ends and the comedy begins.
Entertainers – primarily comedians – playing themselves in sitcoms is a tradition that dates to the early days of TV, from "The Jack Benny Program" to its spiritual grandchild "Seinfeld."
Somewhere along the way, some stars started presenting decidedly unvarnished versions of themselves. "It's Garry Shandling's Show," a brilliant meta sitcom, debuted nearly a quarter century ago on Showtime.
But HBO became the prime spot for celebrities play off their images in a not-always-flattering form. "Seinfeld" co-creator Larry David's "Curb Your Enthusiasm" is the best of the genre, though other HBO fare like "Entourage," "Extras" and the underrated "Arli$$" have proven strong venues for edgy cameos. These days, Matt LeBlanc is playing against his "Friends" type – as a less-than-sweet rendering of himself – in "Episodes" on Showtime.
But Van Der Beek's web-driven return, in some respects, feels more in line with the serpentine path traced by the multi-media meta man of the moment, James Franco, who has turned up everywhere from the Internet to art galleries to classrooms to "General Hospital," presenting differing personas.
Van Der Beek also owes a debt to Jennifer Grey, whose "Dawson's"-era short-lived sitcom, "It's Like, You Know" – in which she played herself and poked fun at her controversial nose job – was in some respects ahead of its time. Maybe the audience wasn't ready to see a C-lister playing herself, pre-Reality TV craze. But Baby recently came full circle (or twirl) with her recent "Dancing With The Stars" victory over, among others, Bristol Palin.
We don't know what side of Van Der Beek we'll see in the new show, called, "Don't Trust the B---- in Apt. 23" (which also seems to tap into the Shatneresque trend of profanity in network sitcom titles).
But we have high hopes, given that, as Deadline reports, "Modern Family" director Jason Winer is part of the creative team. We're also encouraged by Van Der Beek's recent display of comedy chops. His Vandermemes website features new mini-videos of him emoting in various goofy and viral-friendly forms. His Funny or Die videos – including this NSFW installment with even nastier profanity in the title than his new sitcom – are worth repeat viewings.
Check out Van Der Beek's reintroduction video below as you contemplate life after the Creek:

MCLEAN'S TOWN, Bahamas (AP) — A tropical depression near the Bahamas has strengthened into Tropical Storm Humberto.
Another tropical system is expected to hit the Bahamas islands slammed by Hurricane Dorian. (Source: CNN)
Parts of the northwestern Bahamas that were recently pummeled by Hurricane Dorian are expected to experience heavy winds and rain over the weekend.
The U.S. National Hurricane Center said late Friday night that the storm was located about 130 miles (209 kilometers) east-southeast Great Abaco Island and moving northwest at 6 mph (10 kph). It had maximum sustained winds of 40 mph (64 kph).
A tropical storm warning is in effect for the northwestern Bahamas, excluding Andros Island.
A tropical storm watch is no longer in effect for central Florida's eastern coast, but forecasters say those on the coast should monitor developments.

Entry from the Operating Manual of the Obvious under "season, regular:"
"You're not going to win every game."
That's about the best way to put it after the Caps' 3-2 loss to the Toronto Maple Leafs last night, a game in which the Caps gave every indication that they would snare at least a point after falling behind the Leafs.
But Mats Sundin put an end to that at both ends of the ice in the last 30 seconds, first by scoring the game-winner off a rebound of an Alex Steen shot that found the only hole it could, under sprawling goalie Olaf Kolzig's right arm. Then, with Nik Antropov off for tripping in the last six seconds and the Caps skating six-on-four, Sundin "won" the faceoff in the Leafs' zone by firing the puck between the points and out of the zone, killing the remaining time.
Before all that, it was a somewhat disjointed effort by the Caps with some iffy play at the most inopportune times. In a game where the home team had three goals, it could have been worse. The defense didn't have an especially good game playing defense, as it seemed they were in poor position in too many instances (not the least of which was on the game winner when both defenseman had backed almost all the way to the top of the circles by the time Antropov, carrying the puck, reached the blue line) – there was too much free ice given to the Leafs to skate.
Milan Jurcina and John Erksine were the exceptions to the rule, making the Leafs
pay with some big hits. On the other hand, Shaone Morrisonn and Mike Green found themselves caught a little too far up in the defensive zone when the Caps could not clear, and Chad Kilger was left behind them to deflect a long drive by Anton Stralman past Kolzig for the game's first goal. It was Morrisonn and Green victimized again in the second as Green lost his footing behind the Washington net, and the Caps found themselves trying to catch up on the play until Steen fired the puck past Kolzig.
For the Caps, the Alexes each netted a goal, Ovechkin pouncing on a puck at the edge of the right wing circle and snapping it past goalie Vesa Toskala, and Semin with a nifty deke and backhand past Toskala to tie the game late in the third. But it wasn't enough on a night when Washington dominated the territorial aspect of the game, but played just poorly enough in their own end to let the Leafs escape with the extra point.
From the "woulda-coulda-shouda" file…a win would have drawn the Caps to within a point of Carolina for the top spot in the Southeast with three games in hand. So, this has to be filed under "lost opportunity."
The guys who had been making some noise on the score sheet lately were pretty quiet. Nicklas Backstrom saw his three game scoring streak (1-8-9) come to an end, although he did win nine of 13 draws. Tomas Fleischmann, with points in four of his last six games (1-5-6) was held off the score sheet as well. Mike Green, with 14 points in his last ten games (6-8-14), was held scoreless and was -2 – his third "minus" game in his last four.
Tom Poti – usually a minutes eater – managed less than 20 minutes of ice time for the first time since New Year's Day (when he was injured in a game against Ottawa), in part because he spent six minutes in the box on three minor penalties.
And while the Caps took four minors (Steve Eminger had the other) resulting in three power plays for the home team, the Caps killed all three man-disadvantage situations, the first time they've held a club without a power play goal in the last four games, and only the fourth time in the last 12 games.
The Caps' power play was no better – oh-for-four (including that abbreviated six second power play to end the game) – ending a four-game streak with at least one power play goal.
Odd numbers…
Quintin Laing had more shots on goal (one) than blocked shots (none).
The Caps had 32 shots on goal, and Alex Ovechkin had eight of those, but only Tomas Fleischmann and Matt Pettinger were the only Caps not to register a shot on goal.
After Ovechkin and his eight shots, know who tied for second in shots?...Well, yeah, there was Alexander Semin with three, which you would expect. But there were Matt Bradley and Milan Jurcina, who you wouldn't.
The Caps "out-attempted" the Leafs in shots, 64-46.
Shaone Morrison took only six shifts and 3:55 in the third period…Eminger took ten shifts and 5:55. We're thinking Morrisonn's foot was acting up…and Eminger was one of the defensemen out there (with Poti) on the game-winner.
Speaking of the game-winner, it was Sundin's 544th goal of his career, tying him with Maurice Richard.
At least there was this...
"Don't let one become two…"
That's got to be the thought foremost in the minds of Caps Nation for the rest of the year. A win tonight stops the bleeding, and it would ensure that the Caps finish above .500 at the All-Star Break. Not a bad place to be, considering where the Caps were when we sat down to a turkey dinner last November.

Six months after fine-tuning its fitness policy, the U.S. Air Force introduced further revisions that went into effect on Jan. 1.
The initial policy changes had already led to improved scores. The pass rate rose from 77.9 percent to 82.6 percent within three months of implementation of the new fitness program, and the "excellent" (90 or more points) scores have almost doubled since the same time the previous year, according to Air Force statistics.
In July 2010, the Air Force commenced a new fitness policy in response to a 2008 Air Force audit that found the branch did not foster a year-round culture of fitness. Key changes related to how airmen would be evaluated and where and when fitness tests would be held.
With the new requirements, the annual test that had been conducted by unit personnel changed to twice-annual examinations at centralized, civilian-staffed locations called Fitness Assessment Cells. The goal, according to branch officials, was to promote physical fitness as a year-round pursuit and to ensure objectivity of the testing.
The additional revisions that took effect on Jan. 1 might be in response to airmen's dissatisfaction with the new Fitness Assessment Cells. In December, The Air Force Times reported that it had received hundreds of letters from airmen complaining that the civilian testers were unfair in how they conducted the assessments.
Air Force fitness tests are comprised of four components: 60 points for aerobic, 20 points for body composition, 10 points for push-ups and 10 points for sit-ups.
Previously, airmen could receive a pass as long as their composite score was 75 points or more, but July's revisions specified that minimum requirements must be achieved for each component. At the same time, the body composition component changed its basis from body mass index to abdominal circumference.
The core of the new program remains the same under the revisions that took effect on Jan. 1, but the guidance memorandum includes many specific clarifications about how the testing for each component should be conducted.
For example, the sit-up test now specifies that a repetition will not be counted "if that member's hands or fingers come completely away from the chest or shoulder, or if their buttocks or heels leave the ground." The guidelines for taking abdominal measurements are similarly precise, stating that the assessment "will begin with the tester on the right side of the airman, who will stand on a flat surface" and that "no part of the hands or arms may extend above the shoulders."
Chief Master Sgt. of the Air Force James Roy said in an announcement that airmen have embraced the changes and the adjustments are meant to increase understanding of the test.

OMAHA, Neb. — Never mess with the guy who knows how to rumble.
Little-known Max Aaron won his first title at the U.S. Figure Skating Championships on Sunday and helped knock down three-time champion Jeremy Abbott to the last step on the podium. With two quadruple jumps and an arsenal's worth of other tricks in his "West Side Story" program, don't count the 20-year-old upstart out at the world championships in March, either.
Aaron screamed and shook his fists when he finished his program, then slid across the ice giving a Tiger Woods-like fist pump. (He was wearing red, appropriately, and it was Sunday.) When his marks were posted, Aaron's jaw dropped and the audience roared. He won the free skate in a rout to jump from fourth to first, and finished with 255 points overall, almost four better than Ross Miner.
Abbott, who had won three of the last four U.S. titles, dropped to third after a disappointing and flawed free skate.
Aaron was the U.S. junior champ two years ago, but has done little of note since then. Skating first of the top men, however, he wasted no time showing he intended to make a run at the title. He opened with two quadruple salchows, the first in combination with a double toe loop, and did seven other triples. Aside from a small turn out on a triple axel, all were done with such great speed and flow people watching at home on their couches were probably saying, "That doesn't look so hard, I could do that."
Aaron is more than just a jumping bean, however. His spins were excellent, so fast and tightly centered he was practically a blur. He jazzed up his footwork with high kicks and hops, the kind of flourishes audiences — and judges — love.
But it was his perfect portrayal of the bad boy in "West Side Story" that was most entertaining. As he heard the first notes of his music, he fixed the audience with a smirk and began snapping his fingers. He oozed attitude throughout the entire program, so much so it's a wonder the Jets didn't storm the ice and try and wipe the smile from his face.
His big score in the free skate — 175.87 — was going to be tough for Abbott, Miner and the rest of the guys to top. No one came close.
Third the last two years at nationals, Miner had a breakthrough at NHK Trophy, where he was the bronze medalist. That gave him confidence he could be the top American man, and he's skating with more polish and assertiveness than ever before. Every element in his program, to the old "Captain Blood" movie, was finished to perfection. There was no rushing out of jumps or awkward ends to spins. It's the kind of precision a skater has to have if he's to contend with the international crowd.
He, too, did a quad — a gorgeous one, to boot — and seven other triple jumps. His only flaw was singling an axel, a silly mistake that's sure to nag at him until next year's nationals.
Abbott will have plenty of regrets after a program that was barely even adequate for a skater of his caliber. He was so slow on the approach to his quadruple toe it looked as if he was going to stop and, no surprise, he landed on his rear end. But it was his other jumps that were more disappointing. He turned several planned triples into doubles, and his landings were scratchy and awkward. That's a no-no for anyone, but it was particularly bad for a skater who prides himself on his skating skills, including edge quality so fine the carvings could be sold as artwork.
Abbott knew it, too, banging his forehead with his fist as he skated off the ice. But when he saw the marks, even he looked stunned and the audience gasped.

The A361 London Road dual carriageway by Hopton Industrial Estate on the outskirts of Devizes is to be shut at night for three weeks for resurfacing.
The £700,000 scheme will be carried out by Wiltshire Council's highway contractor Balfour Beatty from Monday, September 8, to Friday, September 26, (excluding weekends) between 7pm and 6am.
The work will be carried out in two phases. One phase is between Waller Road (into Hopton Industrial Estate by Macqueen vets) to the turning for the C50 towards Blacklands. The other phase is between the Horton Road roundabout junction and Waller Road.
A Wiltshire Council spokesman said: "As there are pinch points at either end, the road needs to be closed but we have chosen to do the work during hours where the traffic flow isn't as heavy to minimise disruption. Carriageway repairs will be carried out and there will be resurfacing work.
"The work is scheduled for September as it was part of our work's programme with factors considered such as it not clashing with other major works."
Devizes Town Council's planning committee discussed the road closure with Coun Ted East saying: "I am concerned about the starting time of 7pm, I wonder if 8pm would be better to enable people returning from work late in Swindon."
But other councillors thought 7pm was appropriate, including Coun Albert Wooldridge who said: "I use that road a lot and often come back from Swindon between 6pm and 7pm and there's hardly any traffic on the road at that time. It's more between 4pm and 6pm when there's a lot of traffic."
The planning committee raised no objections to the work but has asked Wiltshire Council that its contractor uses its discretion regarding the closure of the road to minimise the effects on traffic flow, should there be heavy traffic on any particular evening.

The Holy Three: Confirmation Day, Baptism, and Christening
Confirmations, Christenings, and baptisms are all very crucial happenings to Christians. Confirmation and baptism are rites of admission and acknowledgment of bestowment of the Holy Spirit. For infants, their baptism is sometimes referred to as Christening.
In Confirmation, a bishop or pastor bestows the Holy Spirit onto an individual through anointing (smearing of perfumed oil or a similar substance), laying of the hands, and prayer – all three actions allow symbolic and formal introduction of the Holy Spirit. (more…)

Marks & Spencer's Moisture Lipstick Review
I didn't own any lipsticks by M&S before so can't really tell you if there's been any improvements in the formula, but the packaging is definitely nicer and sleeker than before, and there seems to be a lot of colours in this line (24 to be exact according to the M&S website). I chose Coral because it seems to be the must have shade for the summer and it is very summery and bright, but not overly so. I think it's one of the prettiest corals I've seen this summer. Formulawise, it's not very soft, although it applies nice and even, it doesn't slip, but despite it not being very creamy, it's not drying at all. It also lasts quite well (again because it doesn't slip on your lips), probably lasted for 2-3 hours on me (not with eating though).

More L'Occitane make up!
I also picked up one of the lipsticks, shade number 03. I think they didn't have this one last time because I really like this and the lipsticks I tested last time I wasn't too keen on. It's a lovely shimmery pinky-coral shade, quite sheer, but really glossy. Lovely. :)
Guess the brand!

The Body Shop Nomadic Goddess Collection Haul
Baked eyeshadows and powders are my weakness, I have a huge collection of Mac mineralize eyeshadows and skinfinishes, and when I see anything similar to them, I always get them. The Body Shop released similar eyeshadows and blushes last summer too, then they had 3 colours mixed in the pan (like Mac's Too Fabulous collection with the two colour blushes). This time you get one solid shade and a smaller "crescent" shaped section with a mixture of shades. The bronzing powder (I purchased Warm Glow) has marbelized effect, it's a lovely shade of light brown, beige and pink. It's not even a bronzing powder as such, although it adds some colour, it's more of a shimmery highlighter on me and I'm actually quite pale. The other shade (Golden Glow) was darker, but also more shimmery, so I didn't like that one. Warm Glow is actually a very good name, because that's pretty much what it gives you, a warm glow on your skin.
See photos of the eyeshadows, bronzing powder and swatches below. Are you planning on buying anything from this collection?

By Lou Mancinelli
More than 70 years ago, Nazi soldiers began a systematic, bureaucratic rounding up of non-Aryan descendants living in Western Europe and sending them to concentration camps. The Nazi party believed the Aryan race to be superior to others and was responsible for cleansing the earth of its "inferior races." Historians contend more than six million Jews as well as countless millions of Slavic people and other ethnicities, as well as gays, liberals, artists, professors, activists, Socialists, Communists, etc., were murdered.
In tribute to the memory and struggle of those lost, five Mt. Airy children — Lucce Guido, Levi Veleanu, Joanna Steinig, Neva Guido and Rachel Steinig — will perform in "Brundibár and the Children of Thereseinstadt," a production of the opera "Brundibár" originally performed by children in the Thereseinstadt concentration camp located in the modern day Czech Republic (formerly Czechoslovakia), through March 6 at the Ibrahim Theater at University City's International House, 3701 Chestnut St.
"We're bringing their names forward and telling people what happened," said 11-year-old Mt. Airy resident Rachel Steinig, a home-schooled student who narrates the play directed by Karen Saillant, an internationally acclaimed opera director known for bringing artists together from throughout the world to Teatro degli Avvaloranti, Città della Pieve, (Umbria) Italy, to create world premiere Italian operas based on texts of William Shakespeare.
"It celebrates the power of music to help those performing it overcome, uplift and become transcended in the midst of tragedy," said Saillant, a Center City resident who was born and raised in Philadelphia. "Not just the performers but the people in the audience as well."
The original opera was written by Jewish Czech composer Hans Krása for a political competition in 1938, according to Wikipedia. But the onset of World War II and the forcing of Jewish and other peoples into camps canceled the production. While in the Thereseinstadt camp, Krása revised the opera to be performed by children in a Jewish orphanage in Prague.
In short, the opera is based on the storyline of two children who venture out to buy milk for their mother. But the children have no money. The children chance upon Brundibár in the market square, a man who plays the organ for money. But when the children start to sing, Brundibár chases them away. The story is about the children's struggle to sing in the marketplace.
"Just by itself it's a folk play," said Rachel's father Sam Steinig, "but this performance puts it into context. At the end, everyone is happy and clapping, but then this somber music plays, and each child comes forward and recites the name of a child the same age, and the same gender, who died in Thereseinstadt … I was reading reviews, and one said it punches you in the stomach. It really does."
For Steinig, whose own parents were Holocaust survivors — his mother was provided fake Aryan papers by a friend, and his grandfather and uncle pried open a loose window and jumped out of a freight train heading to Auschwitz — the performance was especially uplifting.
"But it doesn't matter if your parents are Holocaust survivors," he said. "If you have a hope for the human race, the performance sticks with you."
Brundibár was performed more than 50 times in the camp itself by children ranging from ages six to 18, often to packed crowds in the barracks, according to Saillant, who researched the opera and camp four years ago at the Holocaust Oral History Archive at Philadelphia's Gratz College before her first performance of the show. She said the Nazis kept meticulous records of their actions.
"I have a lot of experience working with children," said Saillant, 66, the director at the International Opera House who has sung and trained musicians at all levels for 50 years. "I find them so inspirational … It's important we remember and teach the children to do everything they can to find peaceful resolutions to situations."
In addition to the opera, Saillant has been commissioned by many museums and organizations including The Smithsonian Institute, New York City's Museum of Modern Art, and in 2007 by the Philadelphia Orchestra to create and direct a new theatrical representation of "The Pulcinella Suite" by Igor Stravinsky. It was for their family concert series in celebration of the 150th anniversary of The Academy of Music in Philadelphia. Saillant utilized her research to add testimony from Thereseinstadt inmates as well as music performed in the camp to the show.
In 2004, while casting another opera a friend sent Saillant a review of "Brundibár," and she "dropped everything. I thought it was so important, this story about these children who sang songs and later were taken to Auschwitz. I've always been interested in history and the message it can offer to those of us willing to listen. It's not so much to educate as it is to inspire people to remember."
Of the 15,000 children who passed through Thereseinstadt, only 100 survived. "I think it's amazing when everyone says the name of a child who died, and then we sing a song about going home," said Rachel Steinig, whose sister, Joanna, was in the chorus. "It's powerful."
"Brundibár" will be performed March 3 and 4, 10 a.m., and March 6, 3 p.m. For more information, email firstname.lastname@example.com, visit internationaloperatheater.org or call 215-545-4385 or 215-909-4791.

You might expect that a play about our mortality would be either glum or flippant. Anna Deavere Smith's "Let Me Down Easy" is neither. It is, more than anything else, a portrait of how people deal with death. Some ignore it. Some face it down. Some view it as a beginning rather than an end.
The play — which is being presented by the Philadelphia Theatre Company only through April 10 — is based on interviews she conducted as part of a project at the Yale School of Medicine. For this piece, the 18th installment of her larger "On the Road: A Search for American Character," she interviewed more than 300 people. We hear what 20 of them had to say.
Some of the people are famous: cyclist Lance Armstrong, playwright Eve Ensler, supermodel Lauren Hutton, former Texas governor Ann Richards, ABC's movie critic Joel Siegel and Harvard University minister Peter Gomes.
Others — a doc at the Charity Hospital in New Orleans during the days following Hurricane Katrina; Stanford University School of Medicine's dean, and the director of the Chance Orphanage in Johannesburg, South Africa, who deals with the kids dying of AIDS — are intimately involved in the health care system.
Some, including Smith's aunt, which for me was the most moving interview, are just regular folk dealing with illness and death. Smith channels each of them, delivering their words. The most amazing thing about the 95-minute play is that while it is dealing with really big issues, it is more uplifting than depressing. The human quality of her subjects, those sick or dying and those who are caring for them, is the most abundant, life-affirming element in "Let Me Down Easy."
Not only is our approach to death tackled in this wonderful play, so are issues dealing with our health care system. It's not polemic or preachy; it simply presents the different points of view her characters have about what is expected and what is possible. It's a smart and savvy approach.
Smith, a tremendous actress by any standard, gives, with only the help of an occasional prop or costume piece, each person a clear and unique voice. It's a stunning performance. She manages to make Ann Richards as funny as she always was and Lance Armstrong as competitive and determined as he still is.
Leonard Foglia's direction respects Smith's concept and the individual stories she tells. The fine Ricardo Hernandez set is composed of five large mirrors that reflect what Smith says and allows us to view ourselves, giving the piece a "we're all in this together" feel, which, of course, we are.
Ann Hould-Ward, Dan Ozminkowski and Ryan Rumery are the good costume, lighting and sound designers. The great jazz saxophonist Joshua Redman has supplied the wonderful "original musical elements."

Pretscher, Friedrich (d. 1528)
Friedrich Pretscher, an Anabaptist martyr, a cleric at Nordheim in Franconia, South Germany. Pretscher had previously been a monk but, perhaps out of sympathy for his brother Martin Luther, he left the monastery. On a suspicion that Pretscher was an Anabaptist, the Bishop of Würzburg had him arrested on 17 February 1528, and taken to Würzburg. George, Margrave of Brandenburg, having heard of his arrest through the magistrate of Kottenheim, interceded for him and a lengthy correspondence ensued, in which the bishop asserted that according to the testimony of two executed Anabaptists as well as his own confession Pretscher was guilty of performing adult baptisms. Thereupon the margrave withdrew his petition for clemency. Pretscher was put to death on 15 April 1528.
