Pittsburgh, PA (SportsNetwork.com) - Brian Elliott stopped all 33 shots he faced and St. Louis turned in a textbook defensive effort in a 1-0 victory over Pittsburgh on Sunday afternoon at CONSOL Energy Center. Elliott's whitewash was the fourth of the season and his 16th with the franchise, tying him with Hall of Fame netminder Glenn Hall for second on the club's all-time list. "I saw a lot [of shots]. Obviously, the ones I didn't, the guys were blocking and made big sacrifices in front of me," Elliott said. "When you're in a tight game like that against a good team, the guys kind of rose up to the challenge and I tried to make a couple saves and get the rebounds out of the zone and they did the rest." David Backes recorded the lone score of the contest for the Blues, who recovered from losses in Chicago and Philadelphia to win for the ninth time in 12 March outings. St. Louis also moved into a tie with idle Boston for the most points in the NHL at 103. Marc-Andre Fleury made 26 saves for the Penguins, who were blanked on home ice for the first time since a similar result against Colorado on Oct. 21. "We had the right mentality," noted Pittsburgh defenseman Matt Niskanen. "We knew how they were going to play. We were ready for it. I thought we did a pretty good job of doing what we wanted to. That's how it's going to be in the postseason. Things are going to be tight and I thought we did a pretty good job today except for finding a goal." Shortly after letting a power-play chance fall by the wayside, the Blues picked up the game's first goal. Evgeni Malkin was in the box for a high stick, and had exited when Alex Steen fired a rolling puck from the point which sailed through a screen set up by T.J. Oshie in the slot. The puck was tipped by Backes in front and caromed off Fleury's glove before settling into the net at 11:20 of the third period. "I don't want to give you all of my secrets, but if I was in a skill competition with those two guys I'm going to lose 100 times out of 100," Backes said of besting Sidney Crosby and Malkin. Blues defenseman Jay Bouwmeester tripped Malkin and was banished with 4:44 to play, but Fleury needed to make two stops and the Blues formed a wall around Elliott for the duration. Fleury went to the bench for an extra skater with 1:20 left, but James Neal's shot from the right side with 16.3 seconds left was Pittsburgh's best and last chance. Despite a scoreless opening 20 minutes, the Penguins enjoyed 1:38 of a 5-on-3 advantage bridging the first and second periods after Oshie and Jaden Schwartz were whistled for infractions 22 seconds apart. "It would have been nice to get one on the power play," Pens captain Crosby said of his club going 0-for-5 one day after converting 3-of-6 against Tampa Bay. "Obviously that's the big story here. We battled and didn't find a way to score." St. Louis closed ranks, though, and allowed a few shots on goal which were not quality chances. The hosts failed to click on two more power plays and the Blues on their lone advantage to maintain the deadlock. Elliott halted 23 shots and Fleury was good on 18 chances heading to the final period. Game Notes St. Louis has won four of its last six games in Pittsburgh since January of 2002, and has taken both meetings against the Pens in their new arena ... Blues forward Derek Roy was scratched with a lower-body injury ... Fleury has been stuck on 34 wins since blanking the Capitals on March 11 ... St. Louis upped its record against Eastern Conference foes to 20-5-1 ... Backes recorded his 156th goal for the Blues, tying him with Brendan Shanahan for ninth on the club's all-time list.

ATHENS (Reuters) - Greece's five biggest banks said they would take part in the country's debt buyback which expires on Friday, putting Athens on track to meet targets set by international lenders.
The buyback scheme is central to efforts by Greece's euro zone and International Monetary Fund lenders to cut its debt to manageable levels and unlock aid for the debt-stricken country.
Athens has pressured its banks, which hold an estimated 17 billion euros ($22 billion) out of the 63 billion in eligible bonds, to sell and they had been expected to do so since they depend on bailout funds that a successful buyback would unlock.
The country's biggest lenders - National Bank (NBGr.AT), Alpha (ACBr.AT), Eurobank EFGr.AT, Piraeus bank (BOPr.AT), and Hellenic Postbank GPSr.AT - each said they had approval to participate, but did not specify how much of their sovereign debt holding they would tender.
Smaller Attica Bank (BOAr.AT) also said it would take part. Investors had to declare their interest by 1700 GMT on Friday. A Greek official said Athens would not make any announcement until Monday on the interest it had received.
Under the scheme, Athens aims to spend 10 billion euros of borrowed money to buy back bonds far below their nominal value, in a bid to cut debt by a net 20 billion euros.
Banking sources earlier said the banks had asked their boards to approve selling back as much as their entire holdings.
"The proposals by banks to their boards were positive on the buyback offer, asking for approval to participate by up to 100 percent," said one banker, who declined to be named.
The buyback is the latest in three years of euro zone efforts to resolve Greece's problems. The economy has shrunk by 20 percent in the last five years and unemployment has hit a record 26.2 percent, pushing public anger to new highs.
Athens' hopes of drawing enough foreign investors to the scheme grew after it announced better-than-expected terms this week, with price ranges at a premium over last week's prices.
The price range set for the buyback by Athens varied from a minimum of 30.2 to 38.1 percent and a maximum of 32.2 to 40.1 percent of the principal amount, depending on the maturities of the 20 series of outstanding bonds.
"Athens put forth a reasonable if not generous offer for hedge funds to participate," said Sassan Ghahramani, CEO at New York-based Macro Advisers, a hedge fund consultancy.
"I expect there will be strong participation from hedge funds, tendering a substantial portion of their Greek bond holdings," he said.
The buyback is part of a broader debt relief package worth 40 billion euros ($52 billion) agreed by Greece's euro zone and International Monetary Fund lenders last month.
Prime Minister Antonis Samaras has already said Greek pension funds holding more than 8 billion euros of the bonds would not take part, increasing the pressure on the remaining domestic bondholders to do so.
Greek banks - already battered by the country's debt crisis - have been hit further by fears that they would be forced to book losses from the buyback.
Finance Minister Yannis Stournaras, who has told banks it was their "patriotic duty" to ensure the scheme is a success, told local radio Athens would include a provision that protects bank boards from lawsuits from shareholders in case of losses.
"There will be the same provision that was included in the PSI (earlier debt restructuring)," he told Real news radio, referring to the March debt swap where Athens passed a law shielding bank boards from investor lawsuits.
The buyback is being conducted through a Dutch auction, which allows Athens to assess the level of demand before setting the price. The settlement date is expected to be December 17.
Finance ministry officials denied the government planned to extend the deadline for bids beyond Friday, dismissing a Greek newspaper report suggesting the deadline could be extended to early next week.

- Adding a timestamp column on the slave to see when the row was last updated.
- Eliminating some columns on the slave because you don't need them and they take up space that you can use for better purposes.
- Temporarily handling an on-line upgrade of a dual-master or circular replication setup.
CREATE TABLE employee ( id SMALLINT AUTO_INCREMENT, name VARCHAR(64), email VARCHAR(64), PRIMARY KEY (id))
CREATE TABLE employee ( id SMALLINT AUTO_INCREMENT, name VARCHAR(64), email VARCHAR(64), ts TIMESTAMP DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP PRIMARY KEY (id))
master> INSERT INTO employee(name, email) VALUES ('Mats', 'firstname.lastname@example.com'); master> DELETE FROM employee WHERE email = 'firstname.lastname@example.com'; master> UPDATE employee SET name = 'Matz' WHERE email = 'email@example.com';In all these cases, the statements execute perfectly well with both table definition since the "missing" column has a default value and each statement gives exactly the names of the columns to update. The
DELETE and
UPDATE statements naturally
refer only to the column on the master, but for
INSERT it
is necessary to add the column names even if the tuple matches the
definition on the master since it could be different on the slave.
Having to give the column names all the time is fragile and if the user—or the application—makes a mistake and types the following statement, replication on the slave will stop with an error:
master> INSERT INTO employee VALUES (DEFAULT, 'Mats', 'firstname.lastname@example.com');In contrast to statement-based replication, row-based replication will do the right thing and throw away extra columns sent by the master or add default values to extra columns on the slave—if the column has a default value—provided that the columns are added or removed last in the table.
This works fine for the example above since the extra timestamp column is last in the table. The effect is to keep track of when the row was last updated on the slave, which could be used to see if the row is current.
CREATE TABLE employee ( id SMALLINT AUTO_INCREMENT, name CHAR(64), email CHAR(64), PRIMARY KEY (id))
CREATE TABLE employee ( id SMALLINT AUTO_INCREMENT, name VARCHAR(64), email VARCHAR(64), PRIMARY KEY (id))
VARCHAR field instead of a
CHAR field—recall that
VARCHAR fields
are variable length strings while
CHAR fields occupy a
fixed space in the row. (We don't care too much about the reasons for
CHAR on the master, we just use this example to
illustrate the problem.)
When using statement-based replication, this works well since the actual
statement is replicated. However, when using row-based replication we
have the additional requirement (in 5.1) that the column types
have to have identical base types. Unfortunately,
CHAR and
VARCHAR does not have the same base
type, so replication will stop with an error when you try to execute
INSERT, which is not very helpful.
Fortunately, the replication team have extended row-based replication with a new feature in MySQL 5.5: that of converting between types when replicating from a master and to a slave with a different table definition. With this feature, a stricter type checking is also implemented and better error messages.
The conversion checks the declared types on the master and slave and decides before executing the transaction if the conversion is allowed. This means that it does not investigate the actual values replicated: only the types of the column on the master and the slave. In addition to better performance when not checking each value this check is done so that you can be sure that any value replicated between the tables will work, not just the values that you happened to have in your test suite.
When dealing with conversions, we are only considering conversions within the groups below.
- Integer types
- Decimal types
- String types
TEXTeven for different values of N on master and slave.
- Binary types
BLOBeven for different values for N on master and slave.
- Bit types
- Conversion between
BIT(N)for different values of N on master and slave.
Within each group, we also have two types of conversions:
non-lossy conversions and lossy conversions. With a
non-lossy conversion you are guaranteed that no information is lost,
but with lossy conversions it is possible that you lose some
information. A typical example of a non-lossy conversion is converting
from a
CHAR(32) field to a
field—since the target field is wider than the source field,
there is no risk that any part of the string is lost. Converting in
the other direction, however, is a lossy conversion since a string
with more than 32 characters cannot fit into a
field. A more odd example is conversion between
FLOAT and
DECIMAL(N,M), which are always considered lossy,
regardless of the direction the conversion is done. Since it
cannot be guaranteed that all floating-point numbers can be converted
to decimal numbers without losing precision, and vice versa.
Controlling what conversions are allowed is controlled with a new
server variable
SLAVE_TYPE_CONVERSIONS, which is of the
SET('ALL_LOSSY','ALL_NON_LOSSY'), that is, it is a
set of allowed conversions. The default for this variable is
the empty set, meaning that no conversions are allowed at all.
If the
ALL_NON_LOSSY constant is in the set, all
conversions (within each group) that do not lose any information are
allowed. For example, replicating from
CHAR(32) to
TINYTEXT is allowed since the conversion goes to a wider
field (even if it is a different type).
If the
ALL_LOSSY constant is in the set, all conversions
(again, within the same group) that could potentially lose information
is allowed. For example, conversion to a narrower field on the slave,
such as
CHAR(32) to
CHAR(16) is
allowed. Note that non-lossy conversions are not automatically
allowed when
ALL_LOSSY is set.
ALL is used since we were considering the possibility of allowing conversions within certain groups only, for example, to add the feature of only allowing lossy conversions for strings and non-lossy conversions for integers, we could set
SLAVE_TYPE_CONVERSIONS to
'STRING_LOSSY,INTEGER_NON_LOSSY'. This is, however, pure speculations at this time.

Nerds rejoice!
Legendary Pictures and Blizzard Entertainment are set to produce a live-action film set in the video game universe of World of Warcraft, tentatively titled "Warcraft."
And none other than "Evil Dead" auteur Sam Raimi has been selected to direct the project, once he's done with "Spider Man 4".
Orcs and humans alike can all breathe a sigh of relief that video game adaptation hack director Uwe Boll will be no where near the project.
World of Warcraft is a massively multiplayer online game set in a fantasy realm, and owes much to the "Lord of the Rings".
The game has 11.5 million monthly subscribers, or a population nearly equivalent to that of greater New York City.
No word on whether Bruce Campbell has been cast -- he'd make a great Arthas "The Lich King" Menethil.
Jackson West hopes they have a separate line for the Horde at theaters, since the Alliance is so fantastically annoying.

Residents cope with power outage overnight
Omaha Public Power District restored power to thousands of residents who lost electricity during Monday's storm, but for some residents who went without power for more than 24 hours say it was a struggle.
At the peak of the outage, 50,000 residents were without power. Crews worked throughout the night to fix power lines and as of 4 p.m., 3,800 customers are still without power.
For Tom Hanus, it was hard to sleep without the air conditioning.
"I had about an hour and a half sleep last night," he said.
Those, like Hanus, who lost power relied on others' generosity during the outage.
"Fortunately, our neighbors have power and they're letting us use their power for our fridges," Hanus said.
Hanus said an OPPD crew stopped by his house, which had a tree snap a power line in his front yard.
"A supervisor from OPPD assessed the problem and we are on a list. We don't know where on the list. At least we're on a list," he said.
The Novaks said they made the best out of the situation, camping outside their house.
"It was like old-fashioned stuff, and we had peanut butter and jelly for breakfast," said Donna Novak.
When the Novaks' power was restored Tuesday morning, they had to throw away some food.
OPPD said it still has 73 crews out working. If tree branches are still down in your yard, you may have to move them before OPPD can fix the wires. If lines, the power meter or mast attached to your home is torn off, contact a private electrician first. OPPD is only responsible for the wires from the pole before they reach the house.

Herbs and essential oils have been used to repel insects since the dawn of man, merely upon the suggestion that they work. But how exactly do these natural compounds keep pesky critters off your pet?
Toxic Warning
Any discussion of natural flea and tick repellants requires a warning that many of these substances, despite being natural, can be toxic if ingested by your pet. The safest way to use herbs and oils is to put them on a collar, which is hard to reach during doggy and kitty self-cleaning sessions. Even a small amount of some, consumed orally, can cause liver damage and serious neurological symptoms.
Poisonous Herbs and Essential Oils
Essential oils that contain phenols are particularly toxic to cats and cause liver damage. These include oregano, thyme, eucalyptus, clove, cinnamon, bay leaf, parsley, and savory. It's a good idea not to share any food containing these herbs and spices with your pets.
Ketones in essential oils can cause neurological symptoms if ingested. Some herbs and essential oils with this component include cedar leaf, sage, hyssop, Cyprus, lavender, eucalyptus, mint, caraway, citronella, clove, ginger, chamomile, thyme, and rosemary. Once again, keep your pet out of a kitchen using these ingredients and don't allow any sampling of dishes with these herbs and spices.
How to Prevent Toxicity
Companies offering natural flea and tick repellants, as well as remedies for infestations, are well aware of which compounds are problematic for your beloved pets. Be diligent, though, in reviewing the ingredients list for yourself. Careful pet owners can prevent any harm while still reaping the benefits of essential oils and herbs to help keep cats and dogs flea and tick free.
Shampoos - Some natural flea and tick shampoos do contain potentially toxic ingredients, but the short amount of time in contact with the skin doesn't allow for much absorption. Problems may evolve if your pet soaks in it for any longer than a normal sudsing up. A thorough rinse is of utmost importance, as well as vigilance against Fluffy or Fido trying to sneak of taste of it.
Dips - Dips with these ingredients are not recommended, despite any manufacturer's claims of safety. The very nature of a flea and tick dip requires thorough dousing and soaking, which promotes maximum absorption of ingredients through the skin. Steer clear of these to keep your pet out of danger.
Collars - Flea and tick collars containing these ingredients should only be coated on the outside of the collar to keep the compounds out of direct contact with your pet's skin. When considering a purchase of this form of protection, contact the manufacturer and ask if the collar is coated on the inside and if so, consider making your own collar using the oils only on the outside. Make sure it's close-fitting enough to prevent your pet from licking it and if you have multiple pets that may lick each other's collars, then this method is not the way to go.
The group of processes that involve the use of nutrients by the body
A hormone produced by the adrenal glands, also often referred to as epinephrine. Adrenaline is used in the body's response to traumatic situations or emergencies.

It's been awhile since I've ridden fixed gear, been even longer since I rode track and seems a lifetime ago that I played polo with just that one gear and no brakes.
I still love the feeling you get from riding fixed and have a vintage English track frame that one day I'll build back up for those casual summer road rides. But for now, my riding focus is still on single speed set ups.
However, when it comes to following track racing, there is nothing more inspiring than seeing how a track rider approaches their discipline, both on and off their fixed gear bikes.
Here are series of films which give a great insight into such mindsets….inspirational.

How does a person know that they have food allergy? This is based on the symptoms and the common ones are stomach pain and rashes on the skin. There are other allergies that will make your throat feel spiky when you try to swallow something. In the medical world, food allergies happen when the immune system of the body is handling the harmless proteins from particular foods and deem it as a threat. The result is a release of various chemicals within the body, thus triggering the allergic reaction. Some people suffer so much that it causes them a lot of pain. However, most people don't really feel that much pain at all, except for feeling uncomfortable to what they are feeling at the moment. Other common symptoms of food allergy are itching or tingling in the mouth, eczema; wheezing, trouble breathing or nasal congestion; dizziness, fainting or lightheadedness and many more. Try a Local naturopath to test for food allergy like http://activebacktohealth.com/
Just how does a person know they have food allergies and how are they going to avoid it? Aside from feeling the symptoms that are already mentioned above, the only way that you can avoid food allergies is knowing how your body reacts to certain foods. Take, for example, how you eat chocolate and you get itchiness all over your body. Your skin reddens due to the reaction of your body. Your body is giving out those symptoms as a way to tell you that it doesn't agree with the food that you eat. There are a variety of types of intolerances of food, but the most common ones are A1 casein and gluten. There are even lactose intolerant people that feel stomach pains. This is the reason why you see a lot of lactose free milk sold in grocery stores.
Is there a medicine that will stop the symptoms of food allergies? There are a lot of them and you can even by them over the counter. However, there are those that recommend a more natural way. This is referred to as naturopathy medicine, which is used by a lot of people that are having troubles with food allergy. This is not only used for people with allergies, but also in many ways that can help people alleviate the pain through natural means. It also means that you will be given guidelines by those who practice this kind of discipline, the naturopathic doctors, the natural way that you can alleviate the pain yourself. Most of the time they are actions that the patient needs to commit to.
The common ways that naturopathic doctors will tell their patients on how to avoid foods that will cause allergy is by natural means such as bringing along safe substitutes to certain foods that can start an allergy such as soy milk to go with the cereal. The most dangerous one can be when people with severe food allergies eat out. If you are one of these people, make sure you alert the staff in the kitchen that you have certain food allergies and you want to keep a couple of ingredients out from your meal. http://activebacktohealth.com/all-services-2/naturopathic

With holiday season quickly approaching, it's time to start thinking about party food. It's the time of year people tend to overindulge -- culinarily and financially -- but there's no reason to overdo it with too much of a good thing. If you have party plans in your future, there are ways of entertaining without breaking the bank, or your belt. These easy appies can also be prepped in advance -- a good thing when you want to get the cooking done before you get the party started.
Tourtiere Triangles
These party-sized versions of the traditional Quebecois savoury meat pies make great finger food. They're also ideal for making ahead and freezing -- simply slide them into the oven when your guests are scheduled to arrive for a deliciously welcoming aroma.
Serve with a small dish of fruit chutney or homemade savoury tomato ketchup, for dipping.
canola or olive oil, for cooking
1 onion, finely chopped
1 lb (500 g) lean ground pork
1/2 lb (250 g) lean ground beef or turkey
1 small thin-skinned potato, coarsely grated
1 celery stalk, finely chopped (with leaves)
1 garlic clove, crushed
1 tsp (5 mL) sage or savory
1/2 tsp (2 mL) thyme
pinch cinnamon
pinch allspice
1/2 tsp (2mL) salt
1/4 tsp (1 mL) freshly ground pepper
2 tbsp (25 mL) butter, melted
2 tbsp (25 mL) canola or olive oil
1 package phyllo pastry, thawed (you'll need 12 to 16 sheets)
In a large, heavy skillet, heat a drizzle of oil over medium-high heat and cook the onion for 3 to 4 minutes, until soft. Add the pork, beef, potato, celery and garlic and cook, breaking up the meat with a spoon, until it's completely cooked through and no longer pink. Stir in the sage, thyme, cinnamon, allspice, salt and pepper and set aside to cool. (Filling can be made and refrigerated up to 3 days in advance.)
When you're ready to bake, preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Stir the butter and oil together in a small dish. Take two sheets of phyllo and stack them on a clean work surface; cover the rest with a tea towel so they don't dry out.
Brush the phyllo very lightly with the butter-oil mixture. Cut the sheet in half lengthwise and then each piece in half lengthwise so you have 4 long strips.
Place a spoonful of filling at one end of each and fold the corner over it diagonally.
Continue folding the strip as if you were folding a flag, maintaining the triangle shape. Repeat with the remaining phyllo and filling, placing the packets seamside down on a baking sheet.
The packets can be prepared up to this point and frozen in a single layer and then transferred to a freezer bag. Bake them frozen, adding a few minutes onto the baking time.
If you like, brush the tops with the butter-oil mixture. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, until golden. Makes about 2½ dozen triangles.
Asian-style Satay with Peanut Sauce
Thin strips of marinated meat cooked on a bamboo skewer are the perfect party food. They're easy to make and festive to nibble on. The marinated meat can be made in advance and refrigerated or frozen. Once assembled, they cook quickly and are just as tasty as they cool - and they're low in fat and calories. Serve as-is or with peanut sauce for dipping.
1 to 2 lb (500 g to 1 kg) lean beef, pork tenderloin, chicken or turkey, cut into even strips
1/4 cup (50 mL) orange juice
1/4 cup (50 mL) soy sauce or tamari
2 tbsp (25 mL) lime or lemon juice
1 tbsp (15 mL) packed brown sugar or honey
1 tbsp (15 mL) grated fresh ginger
3 garlic cloves, crushed
2 green onions, chopped bamboo skewers, for cooking
Put the strips of meat into a bowl or large, resealable bag.
Add the remaining ingredients and stir (or mix with your hands) to combine well. Cover and refrigerate for 2 hours or overnight, or freeze for up to 6 months.
Meanwhile, soak bamboo skewers in water to prevent them from burning. Thread strips of meat onto the skewers and grill or broil for about 3 minutes per side, just until cooked through.
Serve hot, warm or cold, with peanut sauce for dipping. Makes about 1½ dozen satay.
Peanut Sauce
1/4 cup (50 mL) peanut butter
1 tbsp (15 mL) brown sugar or honey
1 tbsp (15 mL) soy sauce
1 tbsp (15 mL) rice vinegar or lime juice
1 garlic clove, crushed
1 tsp (5 mL) grated fresh ginger
1 tsp (5 mL) sesame oil (optional)
1/4 to 1/2 tsp (1 to 2 mL) curry paste (optional) water, stock or coconut milk, for thinning (optional)
Combine all the ingredients in a blender or jar and whiz or shake until smooth, adding a tablespoon or two of water, stock or coconut milk if you'd like it thinner.
Refrigerate until you're ready to serve it - for up to a week.
Makes about 1 cup.

A powerful storm fueled by the remnants of a typhoon swept through the Pacific Northwest Saturday, toppling dozens of trees in the Portland area and knocking out power, but the winds were less fierce than feared in Seattle.
Forecasters had warned of a possible historic storm along the coast. Gusts of a 77 mph were recorded near Garibaldi, Oregon — but in the Portland metro area gusts of 53 mph were recorded at the city's airport, and in the Seattle area wind gusts were around 40 mph, the National Weather Service said.
The storm was still powerful enough to cause damage. Two tornadoes touched down in coastal Oregon Friday, including one that tore through a neighborhood in the town of Manzanita, damaging around 30 homes, officials said.

Let's get ready to rumble!
After weeks of blind auditions, "The Voice" finally moved onto its battle rounds and the four coaches invited some famous friends onto NBC's hit reality show to give their team some advice. Mary J. Blige came in to help Adam Levine, Cee Lo Green recruited Rob Thomas, Michael Bublé mentored Blake Shelton's team and Christina Aguilera brought in Green Day lead singer Billie Joe Armstrong, who recently checked into rehab after an on-stage meltdown.
So which singers made it through to the knockout round? Plus, which coach was the first to "steal" another coach's contestant? Find out now!

News from around the country and around the globe

Team Blake
First up are wrestler/aspiring country singer Casey Muessigmann vs. Scottish rocker Terry McDermott, who Blake pitted against each other because "you're really loud, powerful singers with great pitch." While it seems like the song choice, Kansas' "Carry On, Wayward Son," would give Terry the edge, Blake points out that the artist who is more comfortable with a tune tends to lose because they are overly-confident.
Christina applauds both artists, telling Blake, "You've got a tough decision." Cee Lo points out that the song was more in Terry's wheelhouse, but says Casey sounded "great," calling it a great battle. In the end, Blake goes with Terry, because "he knows what his voice is a little more."
Later, Mom and daughter duo 2Steel Girls went up against Gracia Harrison on Dixie Chicks' "Sin Wagon." Gracia says she's nervous going up against two voices, but Christina preferred her take on the song, as did Adam; Cee Lo favored the duo. Blake's choice? Gracia!
Check out the coaches' complete teams
Team Adam
Fellow New Yorkers Bryan Keith, who is the son of a Grammy winner and Collin McLoughlin, a former grad student, battled it out to move onto the knockout round, singing "Santeria" by Sublime. "I've been an underdog," Collin says, adding that the song is more suited to Bryan's style.
Blake says their performance was "a lot of fun" and praises their "laidback" vibe, but says Collin came out the victor. Christina highlights Bryan's "swag" and Cee Lo agrees. Adam's choice? Bryan. But don't feel bad for Collin because both Blake and Cee Lo push their buttons to steal him! Yes, we have the first steal in "The Voice's" three-season history! Collin chooses to be on Team Blake. "Stealing an artist from another coach is fun!" the country crooner says.
Carson sounds off on Christina and Cee Lo's season four exit: "It'll keep things fresh!"
Team Cee Lo
Cee Lo picks classic rock song "Jessie's Girl" for Peruvian singer Diego Val and YouTube sensation J.R. "44 million hits" Aquino to perform for survival. Diego has a bit of trouble during rehearsal with Rob Thomas, who says the singer needs to "buckle down." Cee Lo hopes that Diego takes the battle "seriously."
Adam says they were "really battling," Blake calls them both "pop singers," but picks J.R. as the battle winner. Christina disagrees, saying Diego won. Cee Lo chooses Diego because he "can do something stranger" with him.
For his team's second battle o' the night, Cee Lo decides to pair two of his most soulful (and strongest) artists, Amanda Brown and Trevin Hunte, against each other. They duet on "Vision of Love" and it's easily the night's best performance, with all three coaches ready to steal whoever Cee Lo sends home. Cee Lo decides to keep Trevin, making Amanda fair game. After being wooed by all three coaches, Amanda chooses to join Team Adam.
NBC renewed The Voice for two more seasons
Team Christina
Before beginning the battle, the coach takes some time to gush over mentor Billie Joe Armstrong. "[He] is amazing. I mean, a true rock star through and though. I'm just so excited to have his knowledge and background come to the table," she says.
Christina chooses De'Borah and Nelly's Echo to sing "Message in a Botte." Both singers perform so well in rehearsal, Bille Joe says, "Even the mistakes you're making sound amazing. I think this could be the best performance of the whole show." Cee Lo, Adam and Blake praise both contestants, but all favor De'Borah in this performance. In the end, Christina agrees and sends De'Borah through to the next round.

As Dr. Bristol points out, had they started in the age of the Internet and You Tube, the Good Rats would be a household name, but they arrived too soon. Or they were too good. Or too hairy. Too something. Peppi Marchello and The Good Rats headlined arena shows in the NorthEast and got airplay, but they just didn't explode like they deserved to. No one I know can figure it out. Everyone in NJ, NY--every Met fan, Yankees fans, Giants fan--was a complete Rathead. Anyone who saw them play was hooked forever.
But the old, original Good Rats are still alive and well, still playing reunion shows and making people crazy. And Peppi Marchello and his new Good Rats are still knocking people out as they make the rounds at local clubs.

Wrestler Randy Savage's bad heart caused him to crash his car and die, according to a medical examiner's report.
The fighter, dubbed Macho Man, died after losing control of his car in Tampa, Florida in May and smashing it into a tree.
Reports suggested he suffered a heart attack behind the wheel – and this has now been confirmed by the Pinellas County Medical Examiner.
Savage, real name Randall Mario Poffo, was 58 when he died.
His wife Lynn, who was a passenger in the car, escaped with minor injuries.

(Phoenix, AZ – October 9, 2003) Attorney General Terry Goddard issued a reminder today that the clock is ticking for Arizona consumers who haven't sent in their settlement forms to participate in the Household/Beneficial settlement. Valid forms need to be sent in on or before October 14, 2003.
Approximately 12,000 Arizona consumers who received home loans from Household Finance Corp., Household Realty Corp., or Beneficial Corp. are able to claim settlement payments. Notices were sent to Arizona Household and Beneficial borrowers in August to notify them of their eligibility to share in the Arizona Attorney General's $7.1 million settlement with Household International. The forms advised consumers of the minimum payment amount that they will receive if they participate in the settlement. The exact amount that they will receive may be larger depending upon how many consumers submit valid forms to the Settlement Administrator. All Household or Beneficial consumers who obtained a mortgage or home equity loan at an Arizona retail lending branch office from January 1999 through September 2002 are eligible to participate and were sent forms to claim payments, ranging from a minimum of $50 to several thousand dollars.
Consumers who believe that they should be included in the settlement, but have moved since their loans were closed should contact the administrator and provide their address immediately by mail at Household-Beneficial Administrator, PO Box 3775, Portland, OR 97208-3775, visit the Settlement Administrator's website at household-benefical-settlement.com or call 1-888-780-2156.

Lettuce, grated cheese, bread, and turkey make a delicious sandwich. Unfortunately, Supreme Court of India has ordered LGBTs to cold turkey their sexual activities; else, they will face criminal prosecution. The poor souls are sandwiched between the Delhi High Court order that liberated them four years back and the Supreme Court latest order banishing them into dark ages. Maybe banning judges from issuing judgments on the last day of service that impact nearly 10% of the nation's population would benefit. Can India in this day and age declare 12 million Indians as potential criminals because of sexual preferences?
1. Is it a Sin?
If God created humans, then why did he create LGBTs if they are supposedly immoral? Do we say a person is evil because he has one blue eye and one black eye? Are differently abled people born criminals? In the worst-case scenario, one can say LGBTs are sexually differently abled. No, I am not propagating this viewpoint. There is nothing wrong with LGBTs physically, morally or intellectually. They are as normal as heterosexuals are. Heterosexuals' intolerant attitude towards homosexuals is wrong.
Heterosexuals must stop blaming the victim under the guise of religion. In ancient India LGBTs were part of the mainstream population and respected. For instance, in Mahabharata, Arjun dresses up as a woman for one year to disguise himself. Amba, whom Bhishma refused to marry, is reborn as Shikhandini. She exchanged her sex with a Yaksha who wanted to be a female, to punish Bhishma for rejecting her in the previous birth. Lord Shiva's one form is of Ardhanarishvara – meaning the lord who is half woman. In one story, Lord Vishnu becomes Mohini, has sexual relationship with Lord Shiva and has children from him.
The Ottoman Empire funded Islam propagation in Middle East from the 13th century. It decriminalized homosexuality during Tanzimat period (1839-76). In Persia, homosexuality and homoerotic expressions were accepted in public places. Male houses of prostitution were legally recognized and paid taxes. (1501-1723)
Hence, how can it be possible when the same religions are being followed from middle ages, previously homosexuality was an acceptable act, and now in 21st century it becomes a criminal act?
Section 377 was imposed by the British Raj in India in 1857 to stop the British homosexuals fleeing to India. Now the western world has accepted homosexuality and Indian politicians are propagating repressive policy to meet their political ambitions. As usual, they have got it backwards.
2. It is torture?
In my teens, I turned rather precocious. When my father and I went out, I checked out guys on the road.
When dad noticed my behaviour, he was horrified. Here is the conversation that followed:
Dad: What are you doing Sonia?
Irrepressible me: My eyes turn sore from studying, I am checking out eye candies to relax them.
Aghast dad: Your sister would never do such a thing.
Brazen me: Yeah, isn't she a duh. What a waste of good looks!
Horrified dad: Your mom….
Unfazed me: If I had mom's looks, I could get into so much trouble.
After a few weeks, dad found a practical solution to my problem. Whenever we went out, I was driving and he sat in the front seat, looking around. When I asked him why, he responded – "Health issues, heart problem, doctors told me to reduce stress." Meow!
Every heterosexual child has a similar story to tell. As the child becomes an adolescent, parents try to gear their emotions, desires, and social behaviour according to the cultural norms of the society. The heterosexual adolescent runs to his/her parents for solace when facing the first heartbreak and rejection.
In contrast, see the nightmare an adolescent faces when s/he realizes that they are attracted to the same sex and not the customary opposite sex. Erik Erikson, the world-renowned psychologist developed the eight stages of psychological identity development model. According to him, between the age of 13-19 years, adolescents address the questions – "Who am I? What can I be?" through social relationships. This is the stage of developing one's own identity and if a person is unable to do so, they live with role confusion during adult age. Between 20-39 years, an adult addresses the question – "Can I love?" through romantic relationships. During this stage, a person forms intimate relationships or if s/he is unable to answer the question, lives an isolated life.
An LGBT teenager learns to attach shame and guilt for their sexual desires. The teenagers realize that if they confide in their parents, they might reject them. Their friends will socially isolate and ridicule them, their teachers will rusticate them from school, and outsiders will exploit them. The intolerant society gives them a gag order for life. The children have no adult or peer to talk to and have to live through this nightmare all alone.
As an adult, LGBTs realize that they are capable of becoming celebrated artists, musicians, philosophers, scientists, corporate leaders and sports person as long as they are willing to live a lie. With their capabilities and talent, they can earn power, fame, and money. However, they don't have the right to hold hands of a person they love. The heterosexuals have taken their right to live a happy and fulfilling life.
Heterosexuals don't need to put homosexuals behind bars as criminals. They have already chained them for life and prescribed them extreme psychological torture. In desperation, they join social groups, religious orders and change countries to get social acceptance and a well-defined identity. Some fervently pray to God for mercy, some turn atheists. Others in anger wish to punish heterosexuals in the same way. They want to hurt the opposite gender for making them feel inadequate. The ultimate revengeful desire would be to make heterosexuals face social rejection and isolation, to show them the torturous lives homosexuals have to live.
Unfortunately, humans are geared towards blaming the victim. In rape cases, the woman is blamed – why did she go out, why was she walking alone of the road, why was she wearing a revealing dress? Humans tend to blame others for their misfortunes, because they wish to live in a predictable world and protect themselves from feeling personally threatened. The idea behind is to tell ourselves that if we take care of ourselves, things will work out reasonably well and our world will be safe. Another woman can't accept the fact that she escaped being a rape victim by sheer luck and she has no control on the external threat. Similarly, heterosexuals can't accept that they are so because of sheer luck, and they could easily be homosexuals. There is still no concrete evidence that nature or nurture turns a person into a homosexual.
As we say in case of women equality, that we need men to come forward and change the thinking of other men, women alone can't fight for equality. We need to take a similar stance for LGBTs. Heterosexuals need to come forward and embrace the cause of LGBTs equality. All that LGBTs are looking for is social acceptance. Why not give it to them?
3. Organizations role
A decade back, I was working in Intel. One day my boss asked me to check LGBT policies as she needed to find a solution to a small issue. Stunned, I asked – "Which policies?" I had never read an organization's LGBT policies in my career. Amused at my cluelessness, she gave me the intranet site name.
I was impressed with the site. Intel as usual had dealt with a difficult topic humanely, sensitively, openly and constructively. The introduction of the site was written by one of the heads of chip design division, a lesbian lady. She narrated her story of coming out, the stigma and social rejection she faced in her life, and what heterosexuals need to do the make LGBTs feel part of the organization. There were other similar mind-blowing stories. Additionally, a lot of reading material, policies, and guidance notes were available on the site to educate the employees.
Think would a customer refuse to purchase an Intel laptop because a division headed by a lesbian developed the processing speed. Our response would be – "Who cares, we want fast machines". Exactly, we shouldn't be concerned!
Closing thoughts
Indian Government and politicians need to move out of the bedroom of consenting adults. The Indian police are unable to manage and solve rape cases, and now it wishes to deal with the whole LGBT population as criminals. Hitler and Stalin ordered the death of millions to cleanse the population. Is the stance of government to treat LGBTs as criminals any better? Intolerance and disrespect are the main reasons for anger, hatred, and violence in the world. Heterosexuals show intolerance and disrespect every day to LGBTs. Let us collectively weave them in the social fabric of our lives and culture.

Here are some facts, reminders, and strategies to improve the last couple weeks or so of studying until you face off with (and hopefully destroy) the GMAT.
In the last few weeks you should be winding down your prep and spending most of your time accomplishing a comprehensive review. You should review all formulae, rules, approaches, strategies, and personal notes from the very beginning of your book/preparation materials, and ensure that everything is committed to memory.

When many people hear the terms drug addiction and drug dependence, they automatically assume the meaning is the same. The American Society of Addiction Medicine confirms that these two terms are not the same. In fact, in a clinical environment, not understanding the differences in these two terms can be detrimental to effectively treating substance abuse.
Drug addiction is characterized by a behavior disorder where a person's primary motivation is using their drug of choice. All the addict thinks about is getting his hands on and taking the drug. Drug addiction also involves biological changes that directly affect the brain. Drug addiction can have devastating consequences in a person's life. The obsession for drugs can lead to loss of a job, relationships, and legal troubles. Common signs of addiction may include:
* Drug seeking (trying to get the drug through illegal means like going to multiple pharmacies.
* Craving
* Obsession with getting the drug
* Non-conventional usage (using the drug for pleasure or to become intoxicated)
* Problems functioning with a normal routine (becoming less productive, missing appointments)
* Legal problems
* Relationship problems
Detoxification can help put an end to the physical need, but the psychological hold of a drug is one reason an addict is never actually "cured." Maintaining sobriety is a challenging, ongoing process.
Drug dependence refers to a situation where a person becomes physiologically dependent on a drug and must take it in order to function normally. If they are unable to take the drug for a period of time, the person goes through what is commonly known as withdrawal symptoms signaling dependence. They include:
* Sweating
* Chills
* Aches

Drug dependence can also become the cause of certain psychological problems. Anxiety, trouble concentrating, depression can also be symptoms of drug dependence.
It is possible for a drug to produce symptoms of drug dependence without addiction. Examples of this include steroids, medications for depression, blood pressure medication and antihistamines. You may experience withdrawal reactions when you stop taking them, but you won't have an overpowering need to continue taking the drug. Likewise some individuals are more likely to become addicted to drugs than others based on biological and psychological factors as well as social influences.
Different drugs produce different physical effects, but the symptoms of addiction are the same. Drug addiction is a complex problem that requires proper treatment, support and the right tools to help you regain control and enjoy a happier, sober life.

To make the build process more configurable and stricter/less strict as needed by various projects, the cljs compiler should provide hooks that're invoked whenever a warning is emitted. Eventually these should be exposed through something like cljsbuild.
The attached patch changes the analyzer to emit warnings and emit dynamic warning handlers.
Note sure where the test for this could go though, it doesn't look like there's any infrastructure for the clj side.

Editor's note: This week, a paper entitled "Global Biodiversity Conservation and the Alleviation of Poverty" was published in the journal BioScience. The study marks the first global estimation of biodiversity benefits and ecosystem service flows from habitats to humans. CI Vice President of Conservation Priorities and Outreach Will Turner — the paper's lead author — summarizes the study's biggest findings.
In 1961, as Yuri Gagarin became the first human in space, ground control heard the awestruck cosmonaut utter, "The Earth is blue." Mere minutes aloft, Gagarin's perch afforded him this simple perspective — one that four thousand years of earthbound scientific inquiry had yet to offer.
Sometimes we need a global view to see the big picture.
Working in international conservation, I know that nearly all conservation efforts are local. The success of any project or program largely hinges on how well it addresses the needs and constraints defined by a place's people, institutions and conditions, and how well it engages those people and institutions in creating solutions.
We know, for example, that biodiversity and conservation provide many benefits — often known as "ecosystem services" — to human communities, and that poor communities in particular are often critically dependent on these services. Forests and wetlands purify water, woodlands are the sources of pollinators that keep croplands productive, and so on.
But in linking development and environmental conservation, we're sometimes operating more on assumptions than tested principles. How much could ecosystem services really be benefiting poor communities? Are these communities in places where they could profit from payments for stewarding resources that others depend on? How valuable are the benefits of ecosystems on a global scale, and could they really be worth the cost of conserving the natural landscapes that provide them?
These maps reveal the overlap between regions that provide the most value for poor communities and those that are priorities for biodiversity protection. (maps courtesy of Will Turner)
To answer these questions, we needed to take a step back and look not at individual case studies but the whole globe at once. Over the course of several years, I and my colleagues at CI, NatureServe, National Fish and Wildlife Foundation and the University of Wisconsin-Madison developed a global map assessing the benefits that natural ecosystems provide to poor people [see above]. This required that we first take the unprecedented step of mapping, for all Earth's land area, the flows of ecosystem services from the ecosystems that provide them to the people that benefit from them.
We began with simple models for different services, from the short-distance flights of pollinators, to services such as water supply and nutrient cycling that follow complex patterns as river networks flow downstream over the Earth's surface, all the way to the global benefits of forests for atmospheric CO2 concentrations.
What we found surprised us. Here are some of the highlights:
- Pollination, erosion control, water supply, and other ecosystem services provide benefits worth an estimated US$ 1 trillion per year to poor communities.
- The world's top conservation priority areas (which make up less than a quarter of the Earth's land surface) provide more than half of the planet's terrestrial ecosystem services. The benefits these areas provide are more than triple the estimated costs of protecting them.
- Ecosystems of high value for biodiversity conservation and supporting poor people occur in many regions, with some of the greatest overlaps in the tropical Andes and Amazon; many parts of sub-Saharan Africa such as coastal West Africa and Madagascar; and much of South and Southeast Asia, from the Himalayas through Indonesia and Papua New Guinea.
- Markets and financial mechanisms that compensate local populations who take on the responsibility of protecting and sustainably managing nature at its source — such as Payments for Ecosystem Services or Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation ( REDD +) — have the potential to provide a 50 percent increase in benefits to poor communities — delivering up to an additional US$ 500 billion per year to the people who need it most, many of whom earn less than one dollar a day.
This last finding is particularly important. To begin with, it captures the idea that developed and developing economies cannot continue to ask the world's poor to shoulder the burden of protecting these globally important ecosystem services for everyone else's benefit without compensation in return. But it also means that natural ecosystems can go beyond providing essential "in-kind" benefits to poor communities now; if access and markets are appropriately structured, these ecosystems could also be the basis for considerable additional income.
So what should we do with this information? The next step is to show a clear path forward for sustainable development, linking poverty alleviation and conservation in a blueprint for the institutions that govern societies and drive economies.
Nature may not send us a bill, but it's clear that its essential services and flows, both direct and indirect, have concrete value.
Will Turner is CI's vice president of conservation priorities and outreach.

By Karen
I've been engrossed in a Dexter catch-up marathon, so I was watching people getting hacked to bits in the hours leading up to Anthony Bourdain's debut as a talk show host, subbing for Piers Morgan.
Yet I was feeling a weird, elated anticipation at seeing Tony take on a new venue.
I don't watch Morgan, and I was surprised to see a studio audience. But Tony's personal appearance experience served him well and he didn't let all those eyes in such close proximity rattle him. OK, his teleprompter reading seemed a tad stiff, but that's a skill he's never needed much.
I think I detected some underlying nervousness, and it was gratifying to watch him power through it.
First guests were David Carr from the New York Times and David Simon, whom Tony introduced only as creator of The Wire. Then I think he mumbled Simon was his boss on Treme, and Simon added he was Tony's boss "too briefly."
Somebody, tell me. Has the Treme gig ended? I don't get HBO.
As they discussed legalizing drugs, I really appreciated Bourdain's uncanny ability to know when to shut up and just listen.
He's the Anti-Lauer.
Next topic was the NSA scandal and Edward Snowden. Tony neatly tied it to travel by asking, "Where would you rather spend the rest of your life? Venezuela or Russia?"
Simon said he'd never been to either country, so Tony offered, "Venezuela. You'll eat much better there."
That segment seemed a little uptight, with Tony reading pre-written questions, but at least he got the hard part out of the way first.
Then on came Tony's besties, chefs Mario Batali and Eric Ripert. You could almost feel the room thaw.
I thought their assessment of whether the "hostile work environment" Paula Deen allegedly created in her restaurants was any worse than Gordon Ramsay's behavior toward his staffs on TV (complete with video clip) took an excellent slant on that story.
Tony was totally in his element now, with no cue cards needed.
They also discussed Justin Bieber's recent peeing into a restaurant kitchen mop bucket that had Tony up in arms on Twitter. Batali said he would "kick (Bieber's) ass," and Ripert pronounced it "drunk and stupid."
Then they had a negroni, a concoction of Bombay gin, sweet vermouth, and Campari. Sounds disgusting to me, but I think of gin as liquefied Christmas tree.
Unfortunately, Batali and Ripert weren't invited to the great cronut tasting. Tony brought out some guy from Grub Street and the cronut's inventor, Dominique Ansel.
The audience got to taste a cronut and a DKA.
(Just Googled DKA. It's "Dominique's Kouign Amann," a version of a Breton pastry that's sort of a caramelized croissant. And Ansel's website text has so many embarrassing mechanical errors, it SCREAMS for my day-job proofreading services.)
But anyway, Tony, who's on record for hating sweets, had never tasted a cronut. He LOVED it, and the DKA. The audience was split, so no clear preference was established.
I've been thinking writing is his only fall-back for later career, but now I can see Bourdain hosting a talk show about travel and food (in that order). But not like The Chew. More sophisticated, geared to well-traveled viewers.
He's got a quick, dry wit, and you never know what's coming out of his mouth next. And he can harness the profanity. I don't think he had to be bleeped once. He's also got the inventiveness to take a done-to-death story like Paula Deen and turn it on its ear. Not to mention he's not exactly hard on the eyes.
Bourdain, congratulations! Cats Working gives you 12 paws up. You hit this one out of the park, and we hope more opportunities like it start rolling in.

Young journalists get hands-on lessons
High school student Shawdae Harrison got a one-of-a-kind seminar in astrophysics this summer when she spent an hour one afternoon talking with Princeton scientists Lyman Page and David Spergel about the makeup of the universe.
"It was a new experience -- I've never interviewed a scientist before," said Harrison, a Baltimore native, who is one of 21 high school students participating in 10 days of intense, hands-on journalism study as part of the Princeton University Summer Journalism Program.
Now in its ninth year, the program offers rising high school seniors from under-resourced financial backgrounds an immersion in journalism with workshops on the First Amendment, trips to New York City to visit news organizations, and practice reporting stories with high-profile sources such as Page and Spergel. The program also offers in-depth assistance with applying to college.
Harrison and three other students met the scientists in Spergel's office at Peyton Hall, where they peppered them with questions: How long have you been working with each other and how has your relationship been? How long was your experimental research process for mapping the universe? Did you ever imagine as young students that you would accomplish all that you have?
Page and Spergel gave long, thoughtful answers to every question, even walking the students through a complex set of equations when Yared Portillo, who is from Santa Maria, Calif., asked, "What's on the board over there?"
Page, the University's Henry DeWolf Smyth Professor of Physics, and Spergel, the Charles A. Young Professor of Astronomy on the Class of 1897 Foundation, described for the students the work on which they have collaborated. Their findings have contributed to breakthroughs in better understanding the shape, makeup and age of the universe. Both won the international Shaw Prize in May.
Alfonso Toro Jr. asked what advice they would give to students who want to pursue a career in science.
"Doing science is hard, and there's lots of frustration along the way," Page said.
"You really need to love what you're doing to be a scientist," Spergel added. "Most things don't work, but every now and then it works, and it's wonderful."
Toro said he was thrilled by the opportunity to spend time with Page and Spergel. "I got the chance to talk to two guys who mapped the universe. It's really wonderful," said Toro, who is from Bell Gardens, Calif. Toro and the other students used what they learned in the interview to write feature stories on the scientists, which will appear in the program's newspaper, The Princeton Summer Journal (PDF).
Other students in the journalism program researched their stories by talking to patrons at a Princeton yogurt shop and interviewing the University's men's basketball coach, among other projects. Later in the week they investigated whether cars idling on New York City streets are damaging the environment, wrote movie reviews and toured The New York Times.
While sharpening the students' journalism skills, the program also helps with the college application process by offering workshops on writing college essays, a practice SAT exam and a discussion with Princeton's admission director. Students receive help with applying to college throughout their senior year of high school as well.
Graduates of the program have gone on to attend Princeton, Harvard, Johns Hopkins, Stanford, Yale and other selective schools. And many alumni of the program return each summer to serve as mentors for the next crop of students, and to help run the program.
"Our alumni are teaching the majority of the workshops this summer," said Rich Tucker, a member of the class of 2001 and one of the four alumni of The Daily Princetonian student newspaper who founded the program. "They show our current students what can be accomplished."
The program was begun in the summer of 2002 by former members of The Daily Princetonian's editorial board, and has grown to attract more than 250 applicants nationwide.
Tasnim Shamma, who attended the program in 2006, returned this summer to help teach the program's new media component. A member of Princeton's class of 2011, she is the multimedia editor of The Daily Princetonian and has an internship this summer at Newsweek.
"This is a life-changing program," Shamma said. "I was not even considering applying to Princeton because I was certain I could never get in. But the directors convinced me to apply. A large part of the program is devoted to preparing students for applying for financial aid and scholarships."
And the program's mentoring extends beyond college admission.
"If I have a question about how to approach a story or find myself in a journalistic ethical dilemma, I feel very comfortable just e-mailing one of (the program's directors or alumni) and asking for advice," Shamma said.
This summer Shamma is helping the students expand their multimedia abilities by working with them on writing blogs, posting Twitter updates and producing videos during the program to "arm them with multimedia skills that they can take back to their high school newspapers and internships," she said.
The presence of Shamma and other program alumni helps students like Elizabeth Gonzalez, who is from El Paso, Texas, to see their future more clearly.
"Being able to talk to alumni and the directors, I'm realizing the possibilities for college," said Gonzalez, whose trip to Princeton marked her first visit to the East Coast. All expenses, including students' travel costs to and from Princeton, are paid for by the program, which is funded mainly by alumni contributions.
"Coming to the Princeton campus, meeting students from all over the country and getting advice from Princeton alumni has truly made it a magical experience," Toro said.

First, President Obama presented a call for cooperation during his State of the Union address; a number of legislators in the audience again broke party seating lines. Both parties' focus on electionyearing is likely to interfere with many opportunities for collaborative progress, but President Obama pulled some partisan punches and there seems reasonable hope that some Republicans could respond productively were the President to offer some consensus-friendly initiatives. The situation in America's government has deteriorated to a point at which even needed legislation on which nearly all can agree is difficult to enact. We experienced a flicker of optimism as some Republicans and some Democrats commented after the President had described the state of our union as "getting stronger."
Next, again on the House of Representatives' legislative floor at the Capitol, a politically ecumenical program this morning celebrated Rep. Gabrielle Giffords' recovery from a horrific, targeted attack by an armed madman -- to a point at which she could deliver her resignation in person -- suggested that members of Congress might be people, too. For a period, it appeared that legislators saw each other not as Republicans or Democrats or liberals or conservatives but instead as fellow Americans.
Those events were scheduled, perhaps even predictable. But then ...
From Harrisburg, this afternoon, arrived the unexpected news that one member of the Pennsylvania Supreme Court -- the chief justice, Ronald Castille -- had broken partisan lines to reject this decade's grotesquely contorted legislative reapportionment map.
Let us hope we are detecting the new pattern. Please listen, and enjoy:

This year after we hung the magnolia garland and stockings on the banister, we were on our way to the garage and my 17 year old SNAPPED. He decided our tree had way to much crap on it, our house had too many decorations, and it was time for Christmas detox. I dropped a tinsel ball, paused in dismay, and thought, maybe I'd given birth to the Grinch. Then I thought some more and realized...maybe Christmas isn't all about me.
We called a family council, and together we decided to do things a little different this year. The boys thought it would be a good idea to go cut a real tree from the forest, so we immediately made plans to go up north and find the perfect tree.
As fate would have it, I came down with the wretched flu and found myself bedded down in my jammies and wool socks, staying close to my new BFF, the latrine. I insisted the boys head into the forest without me and I must admit, I was really sad I couldn't go. I was also a little nervous about what they might drag home, but I put my faith in them and begged them to take lots of pictures.
They came home with no pictures and the perfect tree!
As soon as I could dress myself, I headed to the store to find some very light, and very simple decorations. I couldn't weigh down the 6 good branches with heavy ornaments, so I drove right to my favorite bargain spot. The $ store.
I found glittered reindeer with jingle bell chokers (2 for $1.00)
and tiny little bird's nests with white, speckled eggs.
I grabbed this silver, beaded garland ($4.00 for 9 ft), these 3 inch white, feather balls ($1.99 ea) and a roll of wax paper to make this faux, capiz shell garland.
I followed the garland tutorial {here}. It took me about an hour to make and cost just pennies!
The big splurge was this gray and white tree skirt I bought at Home Goods for $19.99. I'm a sucker for polka dots.
A few more simple things I've added to our home this year.

These official mouse tuning guides will show you how to setup your Mice software settings, Cronus Pro X-AIM settings and In-game settings so that they work to perfection - as played by our own team of professionals.
Mouse: Cronus PRO then upgrade your CronusMAX PLUS to the latest Firmware
I highly recommend running the Cronus Scrubber first. This will erase any trace of a previous installation and start your Cronus install from a clean slate.
With the latest X-AIM (v1.11+), you no longer have to disconnect the PS4 or XB1 controller (once it has authenticated) or have it connected to a USB hub before you start to tune your mouse settings. By default the values from the CM Input are now blocked. This is very important - it's so that no values are read from the controller and everything starts from zero. Before this new feature was introduced, many users were tuning their mouse with the controller still connected and wondering why their mouse was sluggish when turning one way and not the other, or only turned left and not right. This was because their analog stick was not sitting at zero and was affecting the mouse output.
This feature cures that. You can also disable the feature so that the controller Input can be read (if you want to use mouse and controller at the same time). Naturally you should do this AFTER you have tuned your mouse.
Simply untick these options in X-AIM:
Create a profile in the Vengeance M65 Software to match the one shown below:
- Assign all of your mouse buttons to their default values.
- Assign your Report Rate to 1ms in the Manage Performance screen.
- Assign your DPI in slot 2 to 2400 - This will be the DPI we use in-game.
Create a new X-AIM layout and map your keys like so:
You can of course choose any layout you like, however this is one I recommend for this game. If you have any issues setting up X-AIM, follow these instructions: https://cronusmax.com/forums/showthread.php?t=147133
EXTRA: Add this GPC script to the new X-AIM layout if you wish to have a toggle ADS, with the ability to adjust your ADS sensitivity: https://cronusmax.com/gpclib/?s=2644
Configure your mouse settings in X-AIM (Layout options > Mouse Settings)
Match the mouse settings in your layout to look EXACTLY like the image below:
Remember to match your Mouse DPI to the default DPI you set in the Logitech Gaming Software (in this case 2400). This is VERY important.
* If your mouse feels too sensitive, you can lower the sensitivity in MOUSE SETTINGS. Lower this value by 1 digit at a time, until it feels good to you.
Next, you will need to open the in-game options menu, and raise your sensitivity settings to the maximum.
- NEVER lower the in-game sensitivity when playing with a mouse. This will cause a delay with your mouse and give you a "lag" feeling.
- Keep your Button Layout set as the DEFAULT configuration.
The final step is to set your Aim Technique to Exponential Ramp - This is VERY Important!
Feel free to leave comments and feedback below. We'd also love to hear your suggestions if you made any adjustments to these settings.
