Mitchell: Nerd Alert! (and it's ok if it's you)
In the minor leagues, much of the fan experience has nothing to do with the game on the field. Baseball as affordable family entertainment counts on the ballpark, its amenities and the accouterments that accompany the actual game. One of these is the nightly promotion. Mark Galuska, the Clippers Director of Marketing does a great job booking acts to thrill the masses at Huntington Park every year. This season on May 19th the Clippers will kick in the hyper-drive and travel to a galaxy far, far away to bring the Columbus faithful (cue John Williams)- Star Wars Night. Though I'm a not a Sci-Fi fan in general, as a child of the 70′s and 80′s I was a huge fan of the movies and they are as iconic as anything in American pop culture. It will be a night that would-be Skywalkers from near and far can enjoy. Get your tickets now for this great event to see the characters you've loved and hated since childhood. Not surprisingly, the Clippers will be taking on the representatives of the Evil Empire, the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre Yankees. You can check out the rest of the promotions here for the 2012 season.
Baseball, like Star Wars brings out the nerd in many of us. Star Wars and baseball trivia both can turn into heated contests among devotees. Top 10 baseball players lists, Han vs. Luke, should a pitcher be able to win the MVP, whether or not those building the second Death Star were innocent victims, these are the conversations that many take seriously, seriously. Mixing these two American icons should be a recipe for a great night for nerds everywhere. I may even challenge Mike Vander Woude, the voice of the SWB Yankees to a light saber duel.
Speaking of broadcasters (and nerds) I would like to extend a very warm welcome onto the IL brotherhood to my good friend Patrick Kinas. Patrick will take the reins on the Durham Bulls broadcasts this season, replacing Neil Solondz who took the pre/post game job with the Bulls parent club Tampa Bay. In 2002 Patrick brought me on sight unseen (which was to my benefit) for my first job in pro baseball as his #2 in Zebulon, NC. Kinas called Carolina Mudcats games from 1999-2011 when they were a Double-A club affiliated with Colorado, Florida, and Cincinnati (the Mudcats are now the High-A affiliate of the Indians, moving from the Southern League to the Carolina League). Kinas is an extremely talented broadcaster who does NC State women's basketball and also can be seen on ACC and ESPN broadcasts. I have learned a lot from him over the years and I'm very glad I'll be able to let him pay for dinner several nights throughout the season.
Finally, the Indians swung a trade for reigning IL MVP Russ Canzler today for cash considerations. Canzler is on the 40-man roster and will have a chance to make the team in Spring Training, but most likely he will see time in Columbus. It would mark the 2nd time in the last 3 seasons that the Clippers had the reigning IL MVP on their roster (Shelley Duncan won the IL MVP in 2009 for SWB).

9. | Zipperhead | ||
1. A person with a closed mind, or is narrow-minded.
2. The name of a kickass shop on South Street in Philadelphia, which gained fame from the music group The Dead Milkmen. That guy from down the street is a total zipperhead...he doesn't like anyone but himself.
1. | zipperhead | ||
A derogatory term used in reference to people of Asian descent.
It is said to have been coined during the Korean war by frontline troops whom had run over enemy troops in jeeps. The soldiers claimed that the tire tracks from the jeeps left a pattern resembling that of a closed zipper along the corpse. Damn, look at all the zipperheads here, it's like they've just taken over.
2. | Zipperhead | ||
Clint Eastwood's favorite racial slur in Gran Torino. "Get off my lawn zipperhead."
3. | zipperhead | ||
A racial slur referring to people of East Asian descent, coined by US soldiers during the Korean War. There are multiple proposed origins, but the most commonly accepted is that it if enemy Asian soldiers were shot in the head with high-powered weapons, their heads would split as if they had been "unzipped". Another origin could be that when enemy soldiers were ran over by military Jeeps, there would be tire tracks on them that resembled zippers. It's violent origin makes it a particularly derogatory pejorative. It is often shortened to zip, though zip as a racial pejorative may have separate origins of its own Veteran Joe: "Those goddamn zipperheads are taking over our neighborhoods and stealing our jobs!"
4. | Zipperhead | ||
A racial slur coined by US soldiers during Korean War because if Asians were shot in the head with high-powered weapons, their heads would split as if you unzipped them. Hey Louie, hand me that gun, I just saw me a zipperhead
5. | zipperhead | ||
Coined during the korean war and became widely popular during the vietnam war. Referring to the way the head of an asian enemy tended to split open when shot in the middle of the forehead. This splitting is due to the frontal skull suture found in mongoloid bone structure. massive directed trauma to the forehead will often cause the skull to split along the suture line causing the head to appear as if opened by a zipper. The zipperheads were overrunning our position.
6. | Zipperhead | ||
This term was started during the Vietnam conflict to describe a Vietcong tactic.
After killing a GI in combat, the Vietcong split a soldier's head with a machete, then insert a live hand grenade with the pin removed. Replacing the helmet hides the booby trap. When medics come to recover the dead, moving the body will cause the helmet to fall off and release the grenade, killing or maiming anyone in the immediate area. Zipperhead describes the mutilation that the Vietcong inflicted on fallen soldiers. Fuckin Zipperheads got another one of our boys.
7. | zipperhead | ||
when a guy closes a zipper on the head of his dick. Ted (holding himself): Owwwww!
Billy: What's wrong with you? Ted: I zipperheaded myself when I went to the bathroom... |

I think the OP's post is humorous and not rude. It's not directed at any particular person; it's more of a lighthearted commentary/opinion on this trend of posting these "spread the awareness by copying and pasting this into your status update" blurbs. Anyone doesn't like it, well then too bad, so sad, they don't share her sense of humour. But they like her enough to be friends with her, right?I did laugh when I male friend posted this one on his status update:"URGENT! FACEBOOK VIRUS ALERT.... An email recently went out to women asking them to post the color of their bra. .... THIS IS A VIRUS..... To fix it, you must remove your bra, then go to Settings>Enable Webcam>Record Movie. Please repost to your status to let everyone know."
I have to agree with raintree and familyfun. If the part about the awareness updates is not added, then the message the OP wants to put out is lost, and it becomes a Monty Python update.

"What you're doing is stupid?"
It's four million volts.
I would find it off-putting.
I've got to admit, I have a distaste for this sort of meme. They make people feel that they're doing something beneficial to society, when they're not achieving anything of the sort. I doubt that one single case of cancer will have a happier outcome from this, but people will think that this fills up part of their daily quota of "good things to do"."Why should I pick up that piece of litter? I posted my bra colour online, haven't I done enough for this world?"

Benton County Election Officials Can't Catch a Break
By: Rebecca Jeffrey
Updated: November 8, 2012
Benton county election officials are still counting votes Thursday from Tuesday's election.
Broken voting machines led to more people needing paper ballots, but there weren't enough of those to go around. The Election Commission had to scramble to get more ballots out to the polls.
Once those paper ballots were ready to go, more problems ensued.
The machine that counts paper ballots malfunctioned and left Benton County counting by hand.
Washington County stepped in to help and offered up their paper ballot counter.
"Our machines went down on us and that just made all the difference in the world with all the ballots we had to count," Kim Dennison, Benton County Election Coordinator said.
Luckily, Washington County stepped in to help.
"I suggested, you should just come down here and just count your ballots with our machines rather than try to hand count them which would be a huge process," Jennifer Price, the Washington County Election Coordinator said.
Even with the working machines, more than 300 ballots were rejected.
"It will spit it out so that it doesn't count the ballot inaccurately, which is the most important thing," Price said.
Important, but time consuming. It meant they had to count the ballots by hand; a task that may not be done until Friday.
"Probably close to noon, depending on how many hands I have to help me," Dennison said.
Despite the setback - one thing is keeping Dennison going. A light at the end of the tunnel and a good support system.
"A little more relieved. I know that there's still a long ways to go and I couldn't do it without the help of everybody supporting me."

Bryan Adams proved that you do not need any electric instruments to rock. His 90 minute acoustic set with only a single guitar and on some songs a piano too demonstrated the power of his songs.
He performed a wide range of his material including most of his better known songs.… (cont'd) John from Reigate

City council reacts to police chief reassignment
By Chris Beattie,
Published: Wednesday, October 10, 2012 3:17 PM CDT
McKinney city staff members have not yet given a reason for the recent reassignment of Police Chief Doug Kowalski, but the mayor and one city council member have voiced disagreement with City Manager Jason Gray's method of action.
Gray on Friday sent an email to the council and to the police department announcing Kowalski had been reassigned and Deputy City Manager Joe Williams had been appointed as his replacement.
That was the first the council and other city employees had heard of the change.
"It's very shocking and disturbing, to say the least," District 4 Councilman Ray Ricchi said Monday.
The council met in executive session Monday night to discuss the personnel change and other matters, as requested by Mayor Brian Loughmiller as soon as he heard about the switch. The council could not meet without 72-hour notice.
Following the special meeting, the city did not provide the reasons for Gray's decision, as personnel and executive-session matters are generally kept private. But Loughmiller said he requested Gray conduct a search for a new police chief "open to all qualified applicants."
"While I did not agree with the decision made on October 5, 2012, I understand the mayor and council's limitations of authority and the city manager's role of authority as expressed in the city charter as it relates to personnel decisions of city staff including department heads," Loughmiller said in a statement released Wednesday.
Under the city charter, the council has authority to hire and fire the city manager, but all subsequent staffing positions fall under the city manager's authority.
Each council member is expected to voice his or her opinion on the matter in coming days. Ricchi spoke his in a statement released Wednesday morning.
"After careful consideration, it is my opinion the information presented would not warrant the reassignment of Chief Kowalski," Ricchi said regarding Gray's explanation. "I understand the city manager's role is to evaluate employees, and while I respect that role, our job as council members is to evaluate the city manager's performance, including his exercise of judgment in the performance of his duties. I intend to completely evaluate the city manager's job performance and will do so with an open mind."
Ricchi went on to state that "the manner in which Mr. Gray executed his decision was extremely disrespectful, unprofessional and inconsistent with that which our citizens' demand and city personnel deserve."
Loughmiller said he is evaluating city charter language related to the city manager/city council form of government "that may address this issue for consideration by the city council and city of McKinney in the future."
Citizens questioned in recent days whether Gray made the switch simply because of his connection to Williams, who worked with Gray in Frisco for five years and in Celina for four years, before Gray hired him as McKinney's deputy city manager last June.
Williams was Celina police chief during Gray's time as Celina city manager from 2007 to 2011.
Kowalski served 23 years with the Dallas Police Department before coming to McKinney. He was named police chief in January 2001.
"I appreciate his service and leadership to the city of McKinney," Loughmiller said of Kowalski. "Our city has received recognition for being a safe city and a family oriented community. I thank Chief Kowalski for being instrumental in creating a safe environment despite unprecedented growth in our community over the past 12 years."

Mauritania's president was admitted to a French military hospital for treatment Sunday, hours after he took to his country's airwaves to say troops had shot him by accident.
Doctors will treat President Mohamed Ould Abdel Aziz at a military hospital outside Paris, France's Defense Ministry said.
"I want to reassure all citizens of my well-being after the accident committed by an army unit on an unpaved road around Touela. ... Everything is fine," Aziz said in an interview broadcast on official Mauritanian television earlier Sunday.
Troops shot the president late Saturday in what the government is calling a case of "friendly fire" -- though others believe it may have been something more sinister. Aziz's convoy mistakenly came under fire as it was heading back toward the capital of Nouakchott, the official AMI news agency reported. The gunshots came from a military unit stationed alongside the road in the west African country.
French officials did not provide details about the president's treatment or prognosis.
Aziz said earlier Sunday that he had a successful operation to treat minor injuries.
But witnesses said they believe the incident was an assassination attempt, because unknown armed men shot their guns at the president and ran away, according to the independent Mauritania News agency. The witnesses said the armed men "directly" targeted the president as he was returning from his farm in Inchiri province, near the capital, Mauritania News reported.
Mauritania has a history of political instability and faces threats from al Qaeda militants.
A former general, Aziz came to power in a bloodless 2008 military coup -- one of many such coups the country of about 3.4 million people has had since it gained independence from France in 1960. He ousted Sidi Ould Cheikh Abdallahi, who had been the nation's first democratically elected leader, according to the U.S. State Department.
Aziz was elected president in 2009. Still, the CIA describes the country's leadership as a "military junta."

Roosecote power station future under review
Last updated at 21:38, Friday, 20 July 2012
THE future of Centrica's gas fired power station in Roosecote is under review after it failed to secure a new contract to supply the National Grid.
National Grid today told Centrica it has been unsuccessful in securing a new short term operating reserve contract.
Recently the power station has operated under such a contract, providing power to the grid only when there is a national shortfall in generation capacity.
Centrica is now reviewing the future of the plant.
Responding to the news, Barrow and Furness MP John Woodcock said: "This news will be deeply worrying for the many workers employed at the gas-fired power station at Roosecote."
A spokesman for Centrica said the company was "reviewing all options" regarding the future of Roosecote.
It is expected to make a final decision on the future of the power station in August.
Centrica has promised to support workers while the review is under way.

Have your say
Why is there so much negativity to the Bio-mass proposal for Roosecote? surely to god any educated person would be able to work out that the Environmental Agency would not allow anything that the anti-bio mass people are suggesting it will be. Can the furness folk not see that they are spreading pure lies just to gain signatures on their petitions. I ask you, how many Elvis's will be on these petitions? The bio-mass plant will be built on the existing plant (no where else), the fuel will come in by boat (not by road) and it will be virgin chip (untreated wood).....i ask you do all the wood burning stoves that people have at home burn the same??.....i think not.....and what about the bio-mass proposal that has been passed by the local council for the new academy building that is vertially in Mr Guselli's back garden. No complaints heard there. Lets face it, it's good for the town and cleaner for the environment compared to what is being generated now......
Brilliant come back Barry. You seem to know me well... I'd really wish you could help me be a bit cleverer as apart from having a cheap pop at me, you haven't actually corrected any errors you clearly think I made in my earlier comment. I would just like to point out that I respect anyone's objection to the proposed biomass but do not try and tell me what to think when I know that the leaflets and scare tactics are false. If any NIMBY's want to educate us then tell us real stuff, not made up facts off wikipedia. And by the way, gas is pumped through pipes, that's how it reaches it's source and the compressors that do that use energy and put out emmisions. Bad stuff that is monitored and controlled by the environmental agency, so get over the whole gas is clean lie! Tony, find out the carbon footprint of a gas rig/terminal and you might reconsider your statement. I also don't see the argument in whether or not the biomass will have government funding. So what? Who cares? Why would that make any difference to the argument for building the thing here? Really, can someone who actually knows real facts tell us why it shouldn't be built?!!

Featured Article: Rune-keeper Mastery
Page 1 of 10
Beginning Levels Rune-keepers are not armed with the traditional sword or staff, and they are limited to wearing only light armor. They start their adventuring careers with a Rune-stone—a weapon far more versatile than anything a smith could forge. On such a stone a Rune-keeper inscribes words of power that ultimately affect the surrounding world. As your Rune-keeper gains levels, he increases his repertoire of rune-words to inscribe on his Rune-stone. These powerful Rune-stones can summon raging fires and bone-numbing ice storms, as well as potent healing words and beneficial visions to assist a fellowship. All rune-stones have affinity to the elements they were made to represent, either fire, lightning, or frost. This affinity will change how some of his skills function. A 3rd level Rune-keeper and her skills, ready to protect the lands of Middle-earth.
Rune-keepers are unique in that they can change roles in a battle, healing during one confrontation with the enemy and releasing a fury of fiery attacks the next. It's even possible to alternate between the two, walking a fine balance between healing and DPS, though such a transition is costly. The balance between healing and DPS is managed by the Attunement system. Prev - Next >> |

A Moroccan Feast: Vegetable Tagine, Black-Eyed Peas Stew and Everyday Bread
I'm late catching the plane to Morocco for this month's edition of It's A Vegan World, started right here on Holy Cow! and hosted this month by the gracious Lavi of Home Cook's Recipes. So I thought I'd make up for it by cooking up a feast.
It is not really a feast but more like every day Moroccan food. Still, it tasted so good to me, I couldn't call it anything else.
There is a vegetable tagine here with tons of colorfully delicious vegetables. A stew made with one of my favorite beans-- the rakish black-eyed peas. And a simple, utterly delicious and fluffy bread that was, honestly, the easiest bread I've ever baked (and I've baked a few), requiring just one single one-hour rise.
The natural flavors of these wholesome foods are infused and highlighted by the fragrance of herbs and some very simple spices, like cumin, paprika and anise.
All three recipes are loosely based on ones I found in the World Vegetarian which, as I've often said before, is one of my favorite cookbooks. Loosely because I changed many ingredients and some of the procedure based on what I had in my pantry and the time I had to cook.
Since I'm posting three recipes here, I'll keep the chatter short. But this I'll say-- it was one of the most flavorful meals I've ever had.
Thanks, Lavi, for highlighting a country with a cusine so rich and wonderful. Enjoy, everyone!
Moroccan bread
Mix in a large bowl:
2 tsp active dry yeast
1 tsp sugar
1/4 cup warm water
Let stand for the yeast to start "flowering" and bubbling, about five minutes.
Now add to the bowl:
3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour (I always use unbleached)
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp anise seeds
2 tsp fennel seeds
Mix by hand or with the dough hook of a stand mixer set to low, trickling in warm water (about 1 cup) until combined.
On low speed, or by hand, knead the dough for another 8 minutes, until it is soft and smooth.
Prepare a baking sheet by greasing it lightly and sprinkling some corn meal on it.
Shape the dough into a ball and transfer to a lightly greased surface (I did this on my kitchen platform)
Pat out the dough to a disc about 1/2-inch thick.
Pick up carefully with both hands and transfer to the baking sheet.
With a very sharp knife, score a star or sunburst pattern in the center of the loaf.
Cover the loaf with a kitchen towel and allow it to rise in a warm place until doubled in height, around 1 hour.
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
Now pierce the loaf on both sides with a fork, and place in the hot oven.
Bake 25-30 minutes or until the top has browned and the loaf sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom.
Cool on a rack. Cut into wedges and serve.
Vegetable Tagine
Slice thinly into rings or discs:
2 red bell peppers (capsicum), seeded
2 medium potatoes, sliced
4 carrots, peeled
1 zucchini
Set aside and prepare:
2 cups shredded green cabbage
1 bunch scallions, ends trimmed and green and white parts chopped
You will also need:
2 tbsp minced garlic
1 tsp paprika
2 tsp cumin, ground
1 tsp black pepper, ground
Salt to taste
1/4 cup coriander or cilantro leaves, minced
2-3 sage leaves, minced
7-8 shoots of garlic greens (optional)
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
1/2 cup water
(A tagine, an unglazed clay pot, is typically used to make this dish, but I just used a cast-iron pan with an oven-safe lid. Be careful lifting it in and out of an oven because it tends to be heavy.)
In a 12-inch cast-iron skillet, layer the vegetables in the following order, sprinkling equal portions of the cumin powder, paprika, pepper, salt, garlic, and the herbs over each layer:
Zucchini and carrots
Spring Onions
Red Peppers
Once you have sprinkled all the remaining herbs, spices and salt over the red peppers, mix together the olive oil and water.
Pour evenly over the vegetables.
Cover with a tight-fitting lid or with tin foil.
Place in a 350-degree preheated oven. Bake 60-70 minutes. In the last 20 minutes of baking, use a bulb baster or a spoon to scoop up liquid from the bottom of the pan and pour it over the veggies.
Serve hot.
Black-eyed Peas Stew
1 1/2 cups black-eyed peas, soaked and cooked until tender.
1 hot red dried chili
2 tsp dried oregano
1 tsp dried thyme
3 bay leaves
1 fresh sage leaf, chopped
1 tsp paprika
1 tsp ground black pepper
1 tbsp olive oil
2 tbsp garlic paste, or finely minced garlic (about 5-6 cloves)
Salt to taste
Heat the olive oil in a skillet
Add the chili, and when it turns a few shades darker, in a few seconds, add the garlic and stir for a minute.
Now add the black-eyed peas with any cooking water that's left, all herbs, and salt.
Add water if needed, so the stew is fluid and not too thick.
Simmer, uncovered, for about 20 minutes. Specks of oil will rise to the top of the stew.
Check for salt and turn off heat.
Serve hot with the bread and vegetable tagine.
For another great Moroccan stew, try out Holy Cow's Chickpea Stew.
Michael Jackson's dead, and the world is devoid of music, at least for a day.
Michael was one of my first connections with my adopted country, America, when I was a little girl growing up in Bombay. I would listen to his music all the time, any time, even when I sometimes couldn't discern the lyrics sung in his quicksilver voice.
Later, it was a dream come true when I was among the reporters at the Telegraph assigned to cover the Michael Jackson visit and concert in Bombay in the mid-90s. While I hated covering celebrity stories, this was a huge exception.
My colleague Anita and I spent hours waiting to catch a glimpse of him in the lobby of the Oberoi Hotel when he arrived. With us in the crowded lobby -- so crowded you could barely move an elbow-- were thousands of guests from around the world, each one eager as a child. When we did see Michael, stepping out of the elevator, a shout of excitement went up in the lobby such as I've never heard before or since.
When his car was en route from the airport to the hotel, people lined the streets. People of all ages, people you'd think wouldn't be interested in his music, so far from America. At one point, he got out of his car and danced with the slum kids of Bombay whose plight finally resonated in Hollywood last year with Slumdog Millionaire. It was a thrill not just for the kids, shouting "Michael, Michael," but for every resident in the city.
At the concert, people passed out, which is apparently something that happened all the time at Michael Jackson concerts. A young woman who was plucked from the audience and called on stage became a tiny celebrity herself for days afterward, with every newspaper clamoring to interview her.
Years later, I saw Michael sing again, this time in DC, as part of the United We Stand concert to remember the September 11 victims. Many other musical stars had sung at the concert that evening, but no one else commanded the applause, awe and attention that Michael Jackson did.
What a loss this is for the whole world. We'll always remember you, Michael.

That's definitely a feast Vaishali and I can vouch for the chickpea stew. Believe me or not that's the most requested thing by my husband.
Yes MJ's loss is huge for his fans. Growing up I was never exposed to his music or much of anything Western. I came to know about him may be when I was in the 9th/10th standard around 1995. That too because of one of my classmates. She was a big MJ fan. Had tattoos been popular then she would have done that too. So when I heard about his death today my thoughts immediately ran to her, wondering what would her reaction be.Dips, it's too hot to cook out here as well, but I just couldn't resist this! :)
Jodye, Pavithra, Superchef: Thanks.
Madhuram, Thanks. And you're right-- MJ's death is a huge loss for his fans. Your friend sounds like a fun gal :)
Sharmila, it is 400 degrees Farenheit, which I think is 200 degrees celsius. Hope that helps :)
Priya, Thanks!
Parita, Thanks. What I also liked about Michael Jackson, in addition to his amazing genius, was how much of a humanitarian he was. His songs like Heal the World, Man in the Mirror and We are the World all spoke to making the world a better place.
Pooja, Varsha, Thanks!What a coincidence! I just posted a recipe with black eyed peas - chowli amti...
The bread looks wonderful and so does the tagine and the stew - brilliant feast!
I was a 22 yr old CA intern when MJ came to Mumbai and I still remember how psyched we were after the concert - stayed up till 4 am reenacting all the songs complete with "aaows" and "clutches" :) MJ - RIPeverything looks delicious Vaishali, specially tagine. Love the color of tagine
Fashion Deals For LessExcellent recipe and different too! Life has been very busy for me ever since the little one came into my life so I am not finding time as of now to post much recipes yet but some day I hope to continue my blogging and reconnect with you all. Until then I try to read new recipes such as this whenever I can.

Strong demand from car buyers in December led automakers to close out the best year for U.S. car sales since before the recession, and the biggest one-year jump in sales in 28 years.
Final sales figures are not in yet, but initial results from the top four U.S. automakers -- General Motors, Ford Motor, Toyota Motor and Chrysler Group -- all showed gains from a year earlier that met or topped forecasts. No. 5 automaker Honda Motor outpaced its larger rivals with a 26% gain in sales from a year earlier, though it fell slightly short of forecasts. Ford's 1.9% rise was the narrowest.
The industry is now on track for 14.5 million vehicle sales in the U.S. for 2012, a rise of 1.7 million, or 13% from 2011. That's the biggest increase in annual auto sales since 1984.
"It certainly shows the demand is coming back," said Jesse Toprak. "The underlying conditionals fueling this growth is there."
The pent-up demand that has built up since the recession and the slow economic recovery is now starting to release. An improving employment picture and better financing opportunities for car buyers is helping spur a rebound in sales.
Strong prices for used cars are also helping spur new car purchases, as current car owners can get more when they trade in a car and the cost of leasing a new car is reduced.
Jeff Schuster, senior vice president of LMC Automotive, one of the auto sales-tracking firms, pointed to the fact that many potential young buyers who were living with family members in the wake of the recession are now venturing out on their own, creating new households with a need for their own cars.
It was the third straight year of double-digit percentage sales growth and the best year for U.S. car and light truck sales since 2007.
More sales gains are forecast ahead, with analysts expecting U.S. sales to top 15 million vehicles in 2013.
Overall auto sales are still far below the average of 16.7 million vehicles a year in the decade prior to 2008, when the bottom fell out of the industry.

text: Hasbro's robust My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic franchise is doing something that a lot of girl-aimed television franchises have done: it's spawning a semi-canonical tie-in movie.The film, entitled "Equestria Girls," is about Twilight Sparkle getting sucked into the human world, turning into a human, and winding up in what appears to be a technicolor version of Mean Girls. As you can imagine, the Brony fandom is absolutely delighted that the production team is making such a drastic change to their beloved formula and... oh wait, no, they're pitching a fit about it.Knowing Brony fandom's reputation for grade-A unfunny, I have done my best to sift through the wank and bring you only the funny bits! (Though if you click any of the links, be warned — you're going into no-man's land.)First off, there's some minor wanking on this April article on Equestria Daily, where some poor souls are still holding out hope that it's not real: ( De Nial is a river full of hungry violent hippos... )However, the wanking really gets going with the release of a trailer.There is capslock o' rage and harsh language! ( Cut for whinging )There is vast overestimation of Brony fandom's importance: ( Bronies make the world go round )Some people think the anthro-ed ponies look too much like their pony selves. Because changing things is bad, but not changing things enough is also bad: ( Why is it different/not different? Why?!? )Twilightisbest suggests a protest! ( Walk-outs and demographics and greed, oh my! )There is talk of CENSORSHIP and the FIRST AMENDMENT!

This list shows other sites an audience frequents, which can reveal brand preferences and other lifestyle traits. The Audience Also Likes section of a site's profile shows other sites that the audience is likely to visit, and the affinity indicates how much more likely than average. For example, if the profile for wsj.com listed barrons.com with an affinity of 10x, a randomly chosen visitor to wsj.com is ten times likelier to visit barrons.com than the average internet user.
Demographic Index
Index represents how a site's audience compares to the online internet population as a whole. An index of 100 indicates a site's audience is at parity with the total internet population.
The affinity numbers represent how likely a given visitor is to visit one of the listed sites or categories compared to the internet average. For example, an affinity number of 10.2 would say that a user on "X" website is 10.2 times more likely than the average internet visitor to visit the other site or category that is provided.

Lesley University Creative Writing students learn their craft from faculty recognized for both their writing and their teaching. The course of study blends critical writing, creative writing, professional experience and publishing.
Students in Lesley's Creative Writing undergraduate major have the opportunity to focus on one of five genres:
Lesley's low-residency MFA Creative Writing program is ranked sixth in the country by Poets & Writers, and there is an option for students to apply for an accelerated B.A./M.F.A. degree linked to that program.
This workshop-based course introduces students to the art and craft of writing for children and young adults. By studying the elements that underlie children's and teen literature, students will gain a fuller understanding of what it means to write for these age groups. Students will balance readings that focus on universal themes, common approaches and the essentials of writing, with two research papers in the form of craft annotations, and the preparation of a manuscript, consisting of either two picture books, two short stories or an excerpt from a middle grade or young adult novel.
Sam Trevino's poetry was honored at the 2012 Greater Boston Intercollegiate Poetry Festival. Click here to read his poem "Variation on 'The Honeymooners.'"
Sam is a Creative Writing student (BA 2013). He is interning this semester at DigBoston, the city's alternative weekly paper. In that role he is writing articles, reviewing music albums and concerts, and creating humor pieces which are published either online or in the publication's print edition. Through this work he is learning the ins and outs of journalism and small press publishing.

Dan P.
Hey, this is Dan leave a message after the beep. Nope, I guess that won't work on here. I am using some new technology now. The internets are going to blow up with all my awesome posts. You are going to have to check here daily for that. If it's new and happening I will be on top of it for sure. I have been on afternoons 3-7pm (listen please!) here at K-Fox 955 here in East Texas since I was born. I popped out with a microphone. I have lovely wife Mindy (sorry ladies) and some kids and such. I can't imagine my life without them. I would tell you all about my personal life but you wouldn't want that. It is a precautionary tale at best and a horror show at worst. I have lived in 20 - 30 houses/apartments in the Lufkin/Nac area in my life. I think that is my personal goal. One day to have lived on every street in these towns. Because that is where the people are. People like you reading my story. I hope to see you soon at some local events! If there is a firework to pop, a hush-puppy to fry, a cheer-leading competition to MC, Easter Egg to hunt, or perchance someone has me out to their business for a Street Cast (please do!) , I will be there. And I hope you will be as well. Keep listening, and I will keep talking. Dan Patrick

Take your best shots yet. This camera's host of powerful yet user-friendly features makes it easy. Like a 16.2MP Exmor® R CMOS sensor that delivers richly-detailed photos and Full HD video—even in low light. And stabilized 10x Clear Image zoom for beautiful, blur-free close-ups. And with 3D Sweep Panorama, you'll walk away with epic 3D panoramic photos of vast landscapes and sprawling cityscapes you can view on the 2.7" LCD or share with your friends and family.
With a 16.2MP Exmor R CMOS sensor, capture high-resolution images that take full advantage of the camera's high quality Carl Zeiss® lens. More pixels means you can enlarge, zoom in and crop your photos without losing detail. Advanced processing technology reduces noise and graininess for incredibly crisp, clear images—even in challenging low-light conditions.
Zoom in close for great travel, sports and wildlife photos. The WX50 boasts 5x optical zoom plus 10x Clear Image digital zoom technology to bring you near enough to capture distant details. A powerful processor reduces graininess for crisper, higher-quality close-ups.
Record crystal-clear movies at the highest resolution available with Full HD 1080/60i AVCHD™ video capture1. Stunning, fast motion video with reduced distortion looks great when played back on your HDTV2. Notice a perfect photo op while shooting video? With dual record of stills and movies, you can shoot both at the same time.
Capture up to 10 frames per second at full 16.2MP resolution. No matter how fast the action, you know you'll get the shot—it's the perfect feature for high-speed sports or capturing a sequence of your toddler's somersault. Plus, a mechanical shutter helps reduce distortion when continuously shooting moving subjects for even crisper, clearer high-speed shots.
Don't let a not-so-steady hand prevent you from capturing the moment. Optical SteadyShot™ image stabilization with Active Mode compensates for camera shake by countering camera movements in both horizontal and vertical directions. Get sharp, blur-free footage in otherwise unsteady situations, like shooting video while walking.
Capture your world in spectacular 3D. Shoot 3D still images plus awe-inspiring 3D panoramas with 3D Sweep Panorama mode. As you pan across the landscape, the camera records separate right-eye and left-eye images that make landscapes come alive on your compatible 3D TV or 3D-enabled VAIO® computer4.
TV sold separately. All screen images simulated.
Get a mountain of shooting power that fits in the palm of your hand with this compact, easy to use Cyber-shot® DSC-WX50 digital camera. Packing 16.2 megapixels, capture frame-worthy, high quality still images of all your adventures. Get close to the action with 5x optical zoom and 10x Clear Image zoom which doubles the optical zoom for closer, clearer pictures. Photos not enough for you? Try the Full HD 1080/60i movie mode to capture compelling video wherever you wander. And with an "Exmor R" CMOS sensor, take advantage of outstanding low-light performance for brilliant, balanced images even in darker settings.
This camera features a 16.2 megapixel Exmor® R CMOS image sensor that brings out the full resolving power of the camera's Carl Zeiss® lens to deliver extremely fast speed, high resolution, and stunning low-light sensitivity with improved image clarity and drastically reduced grain. In addition, the combined Exmor® R CMOS sensor and BIONZ® image processor delivers extremely fast up to 10fps, Anti Motion Blur, Hand-held Twilight and 1080i movie modes.
Capture full 16.2 megapixel resolution images at up to 10 frames per second, helping to ensure that the decisive moment is captured such as the soccer ball flying into the goal. In addition, a mechanical shutter helps reduce distortion when continuously shooting moving subjects.
With Intelligent Sweep Panorama™ HR mode just press the shutter, pan the landscape and let the camera do the rest. It automatically links together each frame to produce a high resolution panoramic image providing the ability to zoom in on small details. This model even detects faces and moving subjects to stitch intelligently different widths to help avoid subject distortion.
Get cleaner, more dynamic pictures and fewer missed shots. The camera automatically recognizes the correct scene mode, then quickly shoots and combines up to six shots to produce images with greater clarity, optimum dynamic range using Backlight Correction HDR technology and lower image noise using 6 shots layering technology. Superior Auto intelligently detects 33 scenes for still images and movies, making it easy to get the best shot.
It's frustrating to capture the perfect shot, only to review it later and discover subjects blinked during the photo. The Anti-blink function works to help counter blinking and squinting. When the camera is set to Soft Snap, the Anti-blink function captures two images, recording only the photo with less squinting. If a blink is detected in other shooting modes, a warning will be displayed after you take the shot.
Conventional point-and-shoot camera flash shots just don't capture colors the way the eye sees them. Natural Flash controls the white balance of both the background and main subjects.
Record crystal clear movies at the highest resolution available with capabilities for 60i in 1080 AVCHD™ video.� This provides stunning, fast motion video with less distortion for playback on your HD TV.2 With dual record of stills and movies, you can shoot both at the same time.
Produce awe-inspiring images with 3D Still Image and 3D Sweep Panorama™ capabilities.3 Photos will take on a new dimension of creative capabilities for viewing the world in a whole new way.
Picture Effect adds a new level of expression to photos, making ordinary landscapes and portraits come to life by heightening mood and emphasizing certain attributes. Select models have up to nine effects.
Smile Shutter™ technology captures a smile the moment it happens. Simply select Smile Shutter™ and the camera does the rest. You can also select adult and child priority and indicate the degree of Smile Detection sensitivity. Intelligent Scene Recognition can be used together with Smile Shutter™ mode when the Intelligent Auto mode is on. This means that beautiful smiles can be captured with settings optimized for the particular scene, even in difficult conditions such as twilight and backlighting.
Intelligent Scene Recognition (iSCN) Mode automatically detects 33 different types of scenes and selects the appropriate camera settings. iSCN has two modes: Auto and Advanced. In Auto Mode, the camera takes a single shot using the optimal settings. In Advanced Mode, the camera takes a photo with the optimal settings and, if in difficult lighting (low light or back light) immediately takes a second photo with another optimized setting so you can choose which to keep.
In Sweep Multi Angle™ mode, the camera takes 15 images at different angles as it sweeps across the scene. By tilting the camera during playback, the camera's Gyro Sensor detects motion and displays the image in a 3D-like view on the camera's LCD.
Most digital zooms use electronic cropping to get closer to the subject, resulting in unsharp images. With Clear Image Zoom the powerful processor compares patterns found in adjacent pixels and creates new pixels to match selected patterns, resulting in more realistic, higher-quality images. Clear Image Zoom doubles optical zoom for closer photos.
Optical SteadyShot™ with Active Mode for blur-free movies even while walking.4 Camera-shake compensation using Optical SteadyShot/Active Mode has been improved with the addition of new electronic image stabilization.Now it's easier than ever to obtain sharp, blur-free movies even when zooming in unsteady situations, such as shooting with one hand while walking.
DSLR photographs are often beautiful because they blur the background, putting the emphasis on the subject. Now our point-and-shoot cameras can deliver this signature DSLR benefit. The system takes two shots, identifies the background and applies a defocused background keeping the subject crisp and clear.
Face Detection technology detects up to eight individual faces and adjusts focus, exposure, and white balance to help deliver crisp, properly lit images of family and friends.
Portrait subjects will love the results. Soft Skin mode recognizes skin tones and reduces the appearance of blemishes and wrinkles without affecting the rest of the shot.
Motion Detection, along with Face Motion Detection adjusts ISO sensitivity and increases the shutter speed when movement is detected, reducing blur in moving subjects and faces.

Children & Youth
Teaching the next generation and keeping them healthy are essential to tomorrow's strong, vibrant societies. Mercy Corps works with communities to shelter and nurture children and youth through innovative education, sports and job training programs.
Through the power of sports, community service and vocational training, we empower young people to make smart life choices and find a productive place in the changing global economy.

All stories about Children & Youth
Yemen: A fresh coat of paint can make all the difference April 26, 2012
Yemen's youth are demanding change across the country on a large scale, but I've also seen them bring it in their communities one improvement at a time.
Libya: Benghazi activists honor the price of war April 25, 2012
One of the great things about my job is that I get to meet people who contribute to social change from a million different angles. But of all the people I've met through my work at Mercy Corps, few have been as inspiring as a group of activists I met in Benghazi during a trip to Libya last week.
Kenya: Kids in Kenya April 17, 2012
Pictured are school children from the community of Kenyanjeri, which participates in our Yes Youth Can! program.
Iraq: One hundred text messages she can read and write April 9, 2012
The noise was deafening. I had asked a simple question — "How has the WAI program changed your life?" — and everyone had an answer. I didn't know what to focus on. Spoons clinked in tea glasses and the women never stopped talking.
West Bank and Gaza: Digital opportunities transcend borders April 9, 2012
In Gaza, information technology is one of the only ways to connect to a productive future. See what Alaa and her visionary peers achieved at Gaza's first-ever Startup Weekend.
West Bank and Gaza: Online Arabic freelancer network launches in Gaza April 5, 2012
After winning third place in the first-ever Startup Weekend in Gaza this past December, AnaLancer has launched an "expert-sourcing platform" that connects freelancers from the Middle East and North Africa region (MENA) with business owners worldwide.
Iraq: Empowered youth build stronger society April 2, 2012
Salahadin in one of the hardest hit provinces in Iraq. Just north of Baghdad, services here are hard to come by and the security situation is often critical. But it is also the center of a groundswell of civic activism and organization.
Yemen: Humanitarian needs demand urgent attention April 1, 2012
After last year's revolution, Yemen is not only navigating a challenging political transition, but also faces an acute humanitarian crisis that threatens the lives of millions of residents.
Kosovo: Streetlights pave the way for brighter future March 30, 2012
Life was scary on the dark streets of Kodra in northern Kosovo. As the sun set in this multi-ethnic neighborhood of Mitrovica, children would scatter, afraid of what might hide behind the corner.
Indonesia: From the source: Mothers provide perfect nourishment March 27, 2012
Infant mortality remains high in Indonesia, the result of acute malnutrition and illness. Breastmilk imparts key nutrients to protect babies' health, yet many mothers are misinformed and choose to feed their infants formula or other foods.

Originally manufacturing arch supports and comfort styles, New Balance shoes grew from a solid foundation of foot health. Now a leader in global athletic shoes and products, New Balance continues to meet the needs of everyday athletes. New Balance running shoes focus on technology and innovation to offer you the best fit for today's active lifestyles. New Balance dedicates itself to the pursuit of excellence, emphasizing function over fashion. Their sneakers and walking shoes are noted for a wide range of sizes and widths to fit nearly every foot because a better fit results in a better performance.
New Balance Fit and Widths
How do they fit? New Balance is the only manufacturer to offer a majority of shoe models in multiple widths, from narrow 2A to extra-extra wide 6E. Just like people, feet come in all shapes. New Balance knows that proper fit means multiple widths, not just multiple sizes.
There is a ½" difference between a B and D width and a 3/8" difference between a 4E and 6E. It is important to note that this is the maximum difference in width. This occurs across the ball of the foot. There is less of a difference towards the top of the shoe and towards the heel.
What is Pronation?
It's the natural rolling of the foot when walking at any pace faster than mall walking. (When mall walking, one walks heel to toe at a very slow pace.) The way one actually walks is by hitting the outside of the heel and gently rolling in, pushing off your big toe on the inside. That natural roll is called pronating.
Overpronation vs Underpronation.
If you step on the outside, curl right in and wind up on the inside of your foot-that's over-pronating. New Balance builds up the arch on specific models to force your foot out so as not to let your whole arch collapse too soon. Other people hit on the outside of their heel and stay on the outside of their foot as they walk-like a duck almost-that's called under-pronating or supinating.
How do you know when you are?
You can look at old shoes and see where the front of the shoe is worn.

Prince William snapped leaving hospital
Posted December 3, 2012
It's been a busy day for young royals Prince William and Kate Middleton, who are expecting a baby, Buckingham Palace announced this morning.
But, the news hasn't been all sunshine and roses. Prince William was spotted this evening leaving the Central London hospital where his wife is staying as she battles hyperemesis gravidarum, an acute morning sickness.
Paparazzi snapped the prince making his way out of King Edward VII Hospital Monday night looking a bit tense. There has been no official word yet on how far along Middleton is in her pregnancy or exactly how long she'll remain hospitalized.
A statement from the palace simply said the pregnancy is "in its very early stages."
