For a fee play consider Seb Hines of Orlando. 130
sal, 0 fee. He's 26 and has several years of
experience in England and is a US citizen since his
father is American. He's probably a very good
defender though he doesn't have any goals or assists
yet. He made the MLSsoccer TOW bench this week. Kai
Kamara talked him into crossing the pond.

Dylan Remick has started several matches in a row
at right back for Seattle. He's got more points
than Chad Marshall. Leo Gonzalez, the presumed
starter, is old at 34. Sal 56, fee 5.

Add that he is playing pretty well too, Fred. Siggi certainly has an
eye for developing terrific young fullbacks, and he is not shy to give
them chances. Wish he did the same thing at other positions,
although Rose is also playing really well and getting the nod.

Did Zack Pfeffer (56, 0) win the Philly left wing
job? MLSsoccer.com's Armchair Analyst thinks it
might be so (Wenger has been awful):
"1. Congrats to the Union's Zach Pfeffer on that
goal, which was deserved after a tough week � he was
the last cut from Tab Ramos' US U-20 national team.
Instead of pouting, Pfeffer persevered in the best
way imaginable, and I suspect we'll see more of him
in that left wing role."
Also, what about all the cheap keepers that are
starting now- Tyler Deric, Chris Kanopka, Tim
Melia,and Evan Bush?

With KC being idle this week Tim Melia's fee has

B.R.M.C - specter at the feast (stream)
i wasn't really into baby 81 or the effects of 333, but the beat the devil's tattoo had a few decent songs on it, hopefully the new record gets them back to the earlier stuff -
Thanks for the link!
I couldn't get into Beat the Devil's Tattoo but during my teen years I was an avid BRMC devotee. Really looking forward to hearing Specter At the Feast.
I really like BRMC, and while the've never quite managed to recapture the excitement of the debut, I reckon all their albums have been worth it.
Looking forward to listening to this one.
hm, second track sounds a bit like a heavy-ish U2 song
not necessarily a bad thing, but I wouldn't want a whole album of it.
Just noticed, too, that it's only 8 songs long! Fantastic. If there's one problem that BRMC albums have suffered from, it's been that they're usually longer than they need to be. Certainly, I reckon I'd've enjoyed/listened to the last couple of albums a lot more than I did if each was concentrated down into around 8 songs @ 40-45 minutes.
the third track, and we hit ballad territory, and the start of the fourth track promises another one.
Things aren't looking so good...
dunno what the fuck I'm talking about
because there's obviously 12 songs.
Must remember that soundcloud player frame is fixed and may need scrolling.
My verdict:
Some great tracks, some much weaker tracks. The album opener ("Fire Walker") and closers ("Sell It" and "Lose Yourself") are great but it does get a bit boring in the middle. "Hate the Taste" is very classic BRMC.wilbur this'd this
"sell it"
starts off like a down-tuned version of "rifles" from the self-titled album
After one listen
I think this is probably the best thing they have done since Howl (Im firmly in the camp that thinks howl is fantastic btw).
Howl>BRMC>SATF>TTOOYO>Baby 81>BTDT
BRMC > TTOOYO=Howl > Baby81 > BTDT
More or less a (slight) downwards trajectory across their releases.
Obviously need to give this one a few more listens before I chuck them in the mix, but at this stage it's hard to imagine it cracking the top 3.
after a couple of listens i kinda agree with twhat's been said above
strong start and finish but lags a bit in the middle
i also really liked "howl"robluvsnic this'd this

Indiana cougar sightings to become common
There are 140 comments on the WLFI Lafayette story from May 23, 2008, titled Indiana cougar sightings to become common. In it, WLFI Lafayette reports that:Urban dwellers in Indiana can expect to see more cougars, according to a Purdue expert.
Join the discussion below, or Read more at WLFI Lafayette.
#1 May 23, 2008
They are not known as bobcats, the other name they are known as is a Mountain Lion and Puma. Bobcats are smaller and are much like a Lynx
#2 May 23, 2008
Mountain lions are carnivores. Their preferred food source is deer. So to say that deer fall victim isn't very scientific. Do you report that cows fall victim to McDonald's? People living where cougar sightings are reported need to take extra care of their pets and livestock from dusk to dawn when cougars are hunting for their next meal. We are the responsible ones - they act on instinct.
#3 May 24, 2008
If you do see one, run at it, do not away. If you run at it and make a big noise, it should run away.
#4 Jun 14, 2008
like the poster said earlier Cougars and Bobcats are two very distinct species....
That is a pretty bad error. For those not familiar with the wild cats indigenous to North America it can definitely add to the confusion.
Seeing as how The DNR's around the country have a habit of telling people that "they didn't see a "Cougar"... fill in the rest
#5 Jul 22, 2008
We saw a big one on a bycicle ride in Park County just north of Bridgeton June 2007. 150 pounds at least.
#6 Jul 28, 2008
tscmomof4 and nature, you are so right. They are two totally different 'big cat's'. That is like saying a lion is also known as a tiger!! What I can't believe is that they are actually trying to educate people with article's like this one. There have been hundreds of sightings in the midwest, and I don't believe that people are confusing Cougars with house-cats.
#7 Aug 20, 2008
Who cares what they are called. If they are big cats and they could do harm to my family or my property, they will have to "pay the price."
#8 Oct 25, 2008
I live in South Central Vigo County. I was deer hunting 1.5 mile East of Black Beauties Farmersburg coal mine on October 15th. I seen what I thought was a coyote crossing a cattle pasture. I tried to make rabbit squeal sound with My voice to get it to come in bow range (at this time it was about 130yds. away) but never acknowledged my efforts. I then noticed how short the legs appeared, and the bulkiness of the body.
Deffinately not a coyote. Then it went to a persimmon tree stood up on its back legs and stretched. It then went up the tree. I could not see it anymore after that because of the foliage on the other trees between Me and it.
#9 Oct 25, 2008
I am not in Kenilworth NJ. I live in Vigo county Indiana. Don't know why it put that as where I am from.
#10 Mar 2, 2009
my best friend told me he seen a mountain lion and i almost started laughing at him he said he was serious and i just said ok and then i went home and told my mom and she said she seen a large dark cat not even a mile away from where my friend said he seen that one.
#11 Mar 2, 2009
the sighting was east of kokomo indiana
#12 Mar 3, 2009
Who cares?
#13 Mar 3, 2009
who cares f*!% you
#14 Mar 30, 2009
i saw large cat prints on my property in switserland county. i heard stories of cougar sightings in the area.then the night of 3-28-09, my friends and family members and i, heard a loud groul from the woods not far away.my sister came running in the house scared and shaken!It sounded like a cougar to us!Cougars are known to kill peaple, I will carry a gun with me when I go out in the woods from now on!
#15 Apr 7, 2009
Saw something in my headlights early in morning 6am first thought it was a small deer, because of size and color. Then it crouched low to the ground and went quickly across road under guard rail. It was no dog or deer. I saw something large tan colored that could hug the ground moving fast....
#16 May 20, 2009
it is good to that there have been sightings,and it is good that cougars are possibly living in this state. people don't realize that these large carnivores help keep nature in balance as well as black bear and wolves,which i understand there have been sightings of them also. i honestly think it is awesome and i'm glad if they are making a come back, besides how many deer get killed every year in the state of indiana by vehicles? how many people get hurt or die because of this-quite a few. the deer in this state has no known enemies except man and then in turn deer hunting is federally regulated and you can hunt certain time of year and can only have so many tags. cougars, bears and wolves are deer natural enemies and without them our deer population explodes,diseases spread(yes humans can catch animal diseases) more crop destruction; so you see every carnivore in our state would be a blessing instead of a hinderance -balance of nature. i live in southern indiana and have seen cougar tracks and for me i think it is way cool. i also think this is God's wake up call, because weren't we supposed to be the caretakers of all critters from the very beginning of time, it is our job to protect all critters no matter how great or small.
#17 May 20, 2009
if that is a cougar-don't kill it unless it tries to attack,most cougars are quiet,solitary animals and usually stay away from humans. if that was a cougar it could've been a female with cubs, a male thinking you were going to attack it or encroaching on territory it claimed for itself or possibly feeding on a kill that it had made. this happened to me at a friend's house out in the country.
#18 Sep 8, 2009
I was awaken by my dog barking at 1:30AM in the morning. I stepped out my front door to find a truck pulling up the drive. The gentleman in the truck said that one of my horses was being chased by what looked like a cougar. As he appraoched the animals the horse took off towards the barn, and the cougar ran the opposite direction into the soybean field. The gentlman was visibly shaken and had no idea there were large cats in the area. I checked the horse, no injuries, but was lathered up and very upset. I live in Rush County, Indiana......has anyone else seen a cougar in the area?
#19 Sep 11, 2009
I live in Harrison Co. IN in a 24,000 acre state forest along the Ohio River. A few yrs ago a cougar loped out of the woods in front of my truck. My grown daughter & I viewed it for 30 seconds or more, before it stopped, turned and looked at us for a few seconds then went back into the woods on the opposite side of the road. This was on a sunny afternoon & the cat was no more than 30 feet away...no mistaking what it was. Since then, a friend and his grandson who were deer hunting here in the forestry encountered a cougar. They're here.
#20 Sep 15, 2009
I currently reside in Northeast Indiana (Eastern Allen County). There have been at least four (4) reported sighting...more from locals who say nobody would believe them if they did tell the media. As proven on numerous occasions, we can't depend upon, nor believe the media, so I tend to agree with them.
Of the "reported" sighting, two are recorded on film/video and I've seen both...THESE ARE PUMA/Cougars...NO DOUBT in my mind. I lived in Colorado for a couple of years and have witnessed them in their natural habitat...THEY ARE HERE and these are PUMA. DNA, so I'm told, refute that what we are seeing and claim they are only large housecats (those as seen here were 150 lbs. or more)...Yeah, right. I've never seen a housecat that large.
I certainly DO NOT advocate shooting them UNLESS they approach/attack family, pets or livestock. But I now carry my 44 Mag whenever I enter the woods as they will attack when hungry. They have to eat too...just hope they stay with a DEER diet.

UPDATE: Markham Wins A New Pesticide Bylaw!
After careful consideration and consultation at multiple Council sessions, members of Markham Town Council voted unanimously in favour of enacting a pesticide bylaw on June 26, 2007. The Markam victory adds to the momentum to deliver similar protection to all citizens of Ontario. Currently, there are at least 19 other municipalities with pesticide bylaws in place, including Toronto, London, Peterborough, Newmarket, Oakville and Thorold. RNAO continues to support bans on the nonessential use of pesticides, and would support similar campaigns in other jurisdictions.
Thanks to the many RNAO members and others who contacted Council in support of this bylaw.
RNAO has sent a letter to Markham Councilors for their action in supporting this bylaw.

Raji Radhakrishnan's Le Bureau Privé
The 2012 Kips Bay Decorator Show House runs just a few more days before closing on June 14th. This year was made all the more special by the debut of a personal favorite, DC local Raji Radhakrishnan. The private office boasts all the delights of Raji's signature sophisticated mix.
I tend to appreciate rooms more when they are tied to a personality, even a fictitious one like the the Met's Head Curator, who Raji dreamed up when designing the private home office, or Le Bureau Privé.
White Venetian plaster walls and furniture chosen from the Secessionist, Art Deco and Modernist periods, as well as more modern pieces, complement the contemporary architecture of the room. However, classical elements like the custom photo murals (another Raji signature) of the King's Chapel in Versailles and a painting by Pierre-Paul Prud'hon add warmth and depth, as well as what Raji describes as a "bonafide counterpoint to the rest of the elements in the room."
For more information about Raji and her room, check out the Kips Bay Show House website.

Luxury SUV Deals: August 2013
With so many luxury SUVs on the market, choosing the right one can be a chore. Fortunately, our list of luxury SUV deals will point you towards the best incentives on some of today's top models, whether you're looking to buy or lease.
The X1 is BMW's smallest crossover. Essentially a tall wagon based on the 3 Series, the 2013 X1 boasts the same 2.99-percent interest rate as many of BMW's crossovers. Where the crossover shines is with lease rates. BMW is touting the base-level X1 sDrive28i for $349 per month after $3,574 at lease signing -- a low rate for a new BMW SUV. Adding all-wheel drive bumps that figure to $379 per month, while stepping up to the powerful X1 xDrive35i will cost $419 per month after $3,644 at lease signing.
Buick Encore
The compact Buick Encore is the smallest luxury SUV on the market. In fact, it's among the smallest of any SUV on the market, as it rides on the same platform as the subcompact Chevrolet Sonic. Since it's new for 2013, the Encore is not yet offered with major incentives. For instance, the best low-interest offer is 3.9 percent for 60 months, rather than 1.9 percent or even 2.9 percent offered by many rivals. But there's still an exceptional lease deal on the Encore as part of Buick's Experience Buick program. This month, drivers can get an Encore for 24 months at only $249 per month after $2,209 down at lease signing. That's among the best lease rates available on a luxury SUV.
Infiniti FX37
The 2013 Infiniti FX37 is a sporty luxury crossover with bold styling and a powerful standard V6 engine. In August, it's available with the same lease rate as the smaller EX37 crossover, even though the FX costs several thousand dollars more. That's good news for shoppers who prefer the FX's look, as they can lease the SUV for 39 months at $429 per month after $4,299 at lease signing. Better yet, adding all-wheel drive increases that payment by only $10 per month.
Mercedes GLK
The blocky Mercedes GLK is the brand's smallest luxury SUV, slotting below the full-size GL-Class and the midsize M-Class. In August, the newly updated 2013 GLK offers three enticing lease deals. For the lowest payment possible, buyers will want to get the rear-wheel-drive GLK350. That model starts at just $399 per month for 24 months after $4,583 down at lease signing. For those who need 4Matic all-wheel drive, Mercedes is offering the system for $20 more per month. The most expensive GLK is the new GLK250 BlueTEC, with payments from $429 per month and a down payment of $4,674, though the efficient diesel engine may make up the extra cost in fuel savings.
Volvo XC60
The Volvo XC60 is a highly competitive midsize luxury crossover with a long list of standard safety equipment. In August, Volvo is offering a strong lease rate on the XC60 that lets drivers take advantage of an always-appealing 24-month term. That deal offers payments from $399 per month after only $1,879 due at lease signing. Unfortunately, Volvo isn't offering any deals for shoppers looking to finance the SUV or pay with cash.
What it means to you: While it can be hard to pick the right luxury SUV, our list of luxury SUV deals will help you find several top models available with alluring incentives.

Last week, HTC inked a licensing deal with Apple, putting an end to two years of patent litigation between the two companies. Neither released any official details regarding the 10-year package, but that didn't stop analysts from sharing their opinions (nothing does).
Estimations put HTC as having to pay Apple between $6 and $8 per Android phone it will sell, giving a grand total of up to $280 million per year, depending on HTC's sales performance.
HTC's CEO Peter Chou has now spoken out about the settlement with Apple, and while he hasn't revealed any actual figures, he's quoted as saying "I think that these estimates are baseless and very, very wrong. It is an outrageous number." However, he did say he is "very, very happy" with the settlement, and added that it was a "good ending" to the legal battle.
Samsung wants all the details
While speculation on HTC's end of the deal has been rife, little attention has been paid to the fact the settlement was a joint affair, covering patents for both companies. Samsung, however, has been paying attention.
Following news of the deal, Samsung's lawyers have asked a U.S. court to force Apple to reveal the contents of its deal with HTC, as it's "almost certain" some of the patents it has been battling over with Apple have been included – ones that Apple has previous said it would not license.
These prized patents all refer to what Apple calls its unique user experience, something you'd expect it to want to keep all to itself. Except court documents have shown Apple has licensed at least one of these patents to both Nokia and IBM, and now possibly HTC, too.
Ammunition against Apple
So why exclude Samsung? When commenting on the Apple/HTC deal, an analyst for RBS told the Wall Street Journal Apple "no longer considers HTC a threat, but Samsung is a major competitor." Apple probably doesn't see much of a threat from Nokia either, and IBM won't be using the patents for smartphones at all, so it could be happier to sign a financial settlement with these companies.
It's goal with Samsung though, is to persuade the courts to ban the offending devices from sale. If the contents of the HTC deal can help Samsung avoid such a ban, it needs to move quickly, as Apple's hearing is scheduled for December 6, where it will ask for eight Samsung smartphones to be withdrawn from sale.
Samsung has recently vowed to continue fighting Apple in court, and won't be signing any HTC-like deals – not that any seem forthcoming – in the near future either, as according to Samsung's head of telecoms "we don't intend to negotiate at all."

Annual Ryegrass Description
Annual ryegrass is an erect, robust cool-season bunch grass that reaches a height of 3 to 4 feet. Plants are yellowish-green at the base and have 12-inch long glossy leaves. This species has a heavy, extensive, fibrous root system. Annual ryegrass has small seeds (approximately 190,000 seeds/lb) that germinate rapidly. Seedlings quickly establish a ground cover and are very competitive. Annual ryegrass flowers in late May to early June and matures seed by late June to early July.
Annual Ryegrass Uses
Annual ryegrass can be used as a cover crop in annual or perennial cropping systems, or as forage, hay, or a nurse crop for legumes and permanent grasses. It often can be grown under conditions where other cover crops fail. Because it establishes quickly and grows throughout the fall and winter, it is an excellent choice for soil protection and weed suppression.
Annual ryegrass is suitable as a cover crop in grass waterways or riparian areas subject to flooding because it tolerates wet soils and temporary flooding. It also commonly is used on poor soils or on sandy or rocky soils, where it normally produces better growth than do cereal species. It is a good choice for fast, temporary cover on exposed areas with minimal seedbed preparation, such as construction and burned areas.
Annual ryegrass has been used successfully as a relay-planted cover crop in both short-and tall-statured summer crops. Compared to cereal grains, its smaller seed allows better seed-soil contact under marginal seedbed conditions, and it is better at emerging from thick harvest residue (e.g., sweet corn). Annual ryegrass is a heavy N feeder and can be used to scavenge N from the soil during the fall and winter, therefore reducing losses caused when rains leach nitrate below the root zone.
Annual Ryegrass Management
Seeding rates vary depending on the intended use and the seeding technique. In general, relatively high rates of seeding are recommended, despite the relatively small seed size. When used as a cover crop, seeding rates range from 9-40 lb/acre. Use higher rates when broadcasting and when soil protection is important. Seed is widely available.
Suggested fall planting dates are from mid-September to mid-October. Best stand establishment is obtained when annual ryegrass is drilled 1/2 to 3/4 inch deep into a firm, well prepared seedbed. Alternative seeding methods that can reduce seedbed preparation but require higher seeding rates are: drill into a rough seedbed prepared by disking, or broadcast over a rough or smooth seedbed and then disk lightly to cover the seed. If the soil is dry, irrigate or plant before a fall rain.
When relay interplanting, broadcast into a standing summer crop immediately before the final cultivation. Increase irrigation frequency while the annual ryegrass is germinating for more even establishment. Annual ryegrass will germinate on the soil surface if adequate moisture is maintained.
In annual rotations, kill or incorporate annual ryegrass in spring with sufficient time for decomposition to occur before planting the summer crop. Excessive dry matter production can interfere with residue management, spring planting, and N availability to the following crop, so annual ryegrass usually is killed or incorporated when still somewhat succulent.
Higher rates of herbicide are required to kill annual ryegrass than cereal grain cover crops. Consult your county agent of the OSU Extension Service for recommended rates. Always apply herbicides in accordance with label instructions and restrictions.
Annual ryegrass often is grown in mixtures with legumes. When seeded with legumes, annual ryegrass provides early protection of the soil, suppresses weeds, and acts as a nurse crop. However, due to its vigorous growth, annual ryegrass may smother companion legumes. Reduce annual ryegrass seeding rates to decrease annual ryegrass competition for light, water, and nutrients.
When used in perennial systems such as orchards and vineyards, annual ryegrass can reseed itself if mowing schedules permit seed production. If a temporary cover is desired, you should kill, incorporate, or mow annual ryegrass before seed is mature.
Annual ryegrass is likely to tolerate mowing unless flailed at ground level in very dry conditions, but even then it may survive.

BOSTON (MarketWatch) — Gains in shares of Sequenom Inc., DepoMed Inc. and Targacept Inc. helped stoke trading in biotech stocks Friday afternoon during an unusually active session for the drug sector.
The NYSE Arca Biotechnology Index BTK, -2.16% jumped 2% to 1,471, and the NYSE Arca Pharmaceuticals Index DRG, -0.80% rose 0.4% to 323.
MarketWatch columnist Mark Hulbert says research suggests massive stock slumps such as the "flash crash" can't be prevented.
• SEC's Schapiro eyes high frequency traders
• Credit will save stock bulls in next 'flash crash'
• Get ready for another flash crash
• SEC still lacks tools to prevent 'flash crashes'
• Stock trading snafu too big to ignore
• Regulators lack tools: SEC head says
• 4 big risks to your investments now
Shares of Sequenom SQNM shot up 13%. Late Thursday, in conjunction with its quarterly earnings report, the company said it had completed testing of samples for its new prenatal Down syndrome test, a major product in its pipeline. Sequenom said it plans to publish the results in a peer-reviewed medical journal later this year.
Sequenom also reported a quarterly loss of 13 cents a share, compared with a loss of 27 cents a share for the year-ago period.
DepoMed's DEPO shares advanced 6%. The company reported more positive Phase III data for its pain medication Gralise, a once-daily formulation of the drug gabapentin. Gralise, which was recently approved by U.S. regulators, will be available in pharmacies by the end of the year.
Targacept's TRGT shares jumped 6%. Analysts at Needham & Co. upgraded the stock to strong buy from buy.
Regeneron Pharmaceuticals Inc.'s REGN, -1.41% shares continued to rebound, up 6%. Last week, the stock tumbled 20% on concerns about the market potential for its ophthalmology drug VEGF Trap-Eye. U.S. regulators are expected to decide whether to approve the product by Aug. 20.
On the downside, shares of dermatology-products maker Obagi Medical Products Inc. OMPI plunged 24%.
Late Thursday, Obagi posted a wider first-quarter loss and lowered its 2011 forecast.
Obagi also said it has settled litigation with Dr. Zein Obagi and related parties. As a result, the company will pay $5 million in settlement costs and incur legal expenses of about $2.8 million. It's in talks with its insurance carrier about payment of the settlement and related costs.
Obagi added that Texan authorities have ruled that the company cannot ship products containing 4% hydroquinone into the state. The ingredient, a key component of several of Obagi's products, is used to treat skin conditions such as sun damage and hyperpigmentation.
"While Texas accounted for 8.8% of our 2010 revenues, we are continuing to distribute our cosmetic and over-the-counter products in the state, and we are looking into the possibility of making certain non-hydroquinone products, which we distribute in various international markets, available to Texas-based doctors," Obagi Chief Executive Officer Al Hummel said in a statement.
On Friday, Obagi's stock was downgraded to neutral by Roth Capital and Robert W. Baird and to hold by Needham & Co.

Fans of surreal mysteries like Lost and The Prisoner would do well to check out Sin Titulo, Cameron Stewart's creepy noir comic involving malevolent nursing home employees, teleportation, and people psychically connected through a vision of a dead tree.
Along with Karl Kerschl, of the previously mentioned The Abominable Charles Christopher, Cameron Stewart is part of Transmission X, a small collective of enormously talented professional comics artists who are trying their hand (with great success, I might add) at webcomics. Stewart has, among other things, provided artwork for Catwoman, Grant Morrison's Seaguy, the Eisner-nominated Vietnam series The Other Side, and the high-energy, post-apocalyptic punk rock book The Apocalipstix.
In Sin Titulo (or simply, Untitled), Stewart puts on his writer hat as well, telling the story of Alex Mackay, an emotional dysfunctional young fellow about to spiral down the rabbit hole. Alex has been having a strange recurring dream, one in which he sees a dead, gnarled tree on a beach. Sometimes he sees someone on the beach, but the image is never clear, and he always wakes before he can see who it is.
He gives little thought to the dream until one day when he goes to visit his grandfather in the retirement home, only to discover that he's been dead a month. And, when he goes through his grandfather's effects, he discovers a recent photograph of his grandfather with an attractive young woman, a woman Alex has never seen before. When he asks the retirement staff about the picture, however, their strange and terse reactions make him suspect that something sinister is at work. As he begins to investigate the woman in the picture and Wesley, the retirement home's menacing orderly, Alex is quickly drawn into a series of ever-deepening mysteries involving coma patients, murder, teleportation, and the mysterious tree, and finds his life, liberty, and girlfriend all placed in jeopardy.
Stewart is well-versed in the language of comics, and Sin Titulo is at its very least a prime example of expert visual scripting. Each episode is set in a rigid eight-panel structure that neatly conveys the suspense and noir tone of the series, and that Stewart can so easily convey small emotional shifts through his thick black lines makes it fantastically jarring when a character displays genuinely intense emotion.
Sin Titulo is far grittier than most webcomics currently running, and when violence occurs, it's not the stylized violence of many comics, but very real, very present violence. Characters get beat up, get in car accidents, and when they do, their bones break and blood gets everywhere. When a punch becomes a frightening thing, characters who throw them become all the more terrifying, as with the squat, muscular orderly — even before we get the sense there may be something supernatural to him. This sense of realism pervades the comic; cubicles, diners, hospital rooms are all stark and unfriendly, but utterly familiar.
But what makes reading Sin Titulo an intriguing and unnerving experience is the way Stewart, borrow a page from the likes of David Lynch, juxtaposes this realism with the fantastical. On panel, we see plenty of punches thrown, but off-panel, we learn that characters have been ripped to shreds. Alex's vivid childhood memories are haunted by a monstrous apparition, and he begins to encounter surreal visuals: a network of cinderblock rooms where the blond woman speaks over a monitor and an old telephone, and a beach front dinner setting , where a blindfolded waiter serves up an unappetizing crustacean. And then there's the fact that Alex isn't the only one visiting the beach and seeing the mysterious dead tree.
Sin Titulo is not a comic for those who like quick and satisfying answers to their mysteries. Just as Alex's head has stopped spinning from the latest series of unexplained developments, a new wrinkle emerges. But for those willing to sit back and watch the story unfold and the protagonist unravel, it's a well-paced and often unsettling read.

Uncovering Your Authentic Self
Since each human being is unique, one person's authentic self will always be different from another's. It's important to feel confident in your uniqueness. Unless you're prepared to let go of the pressure to fit in, it will be hard to identify who you truly are. Begin by getting familiar with your characteristics. It's critical, at this point, to drop all judgments. Things are no longer good or bad--they just are.
Most of us have been taught that our strengths are good and our weaknesses are bad. We've been taught that we should improve on our weaknesses or fix them. But what if those personality traits that others identify as problems actually feel okay to us? For example, being disorganized can also be seen as flexible and free. Being flaky or ditsy can also be seen as happy and giddy. Being rigid can also be seen as focused and driven. If we give up these attributes because others judge them as negative, does this not mean that we're denying our true self? The things we feel comfortable with are what make up our authentic self, not the ones others tell us we should feel good about.
In order to find your authentic self, it's important to better understand your own characteristics and behaviors. There is an ancient document of Hermetic teachings called The Kybalion, and one of the seven principles in this document is titled the Principle of Polarity. It embodies the idea that "everything is dual; everything has poles; everything has its pair of opposites." When you look at two things that appear to be opposites, The Kybalion tells us that what you're really seeing are two extremes of the same thing existing in a continuum. Take hot and cold--both are extreme forms of temperature with varying degrees in between (cool and warm, for example). Because there is no finite definition of hot or cold, it's difficult for people to agree on what each should feel like. What each person experiences, then, is based on his or her perception.
This is the same for human character traits. Some have a greater tendency to be responsible, while others are more irresponsible. Once you've given up on judging either of these as good or bad, you can try to get a sense of where you fit on the continuum. If you tend to lean more toward irresponsibility, then ask yourself: How do I feel about this aspect of myself? If you're comfortable with this quality, then it may very well be part of your authentic self. Keep in mind that all traits have positive and negative aspects. Being too responsible can have its drawbacks, just as being too irresponsible can. The object here is to become familiar with all of your characteristics and check in to determine how you feel about them.
On the other hand, there may be some traits you know that you possess but don't feel good about. For example, you may find yourself embarrassed and self-conscious around others, as I did throughout high school. You're likely unsure of where these apprehensions come from, but you know they don't seem natural to you. When you're in a place of embarrassment, you typically don't feel good, which means that you are out of alignment with your true, genuine self. While you don't need to be self-conscious when speaking up in a group, and there is no reason to feel embarrassed any time you're singled out, your subconscious brings up this response automatically. Until you're able to shift toward a place of self-love and confidence, you'll continue to come off as an insecure and awkward person--even though that's not who you truly are.
Once you're able to identify these characteristics, you may choose to dig deeper and search for the underlying issue that has caused this part of you to become out of alignment. Maybe you were once singled out in a crowd and made to feel foolish and insignificant. Or perhaps once when you did take a chance and speak your mind, you were shut down and criticized. Until you can make peace with your past and forgive those who hurt you, you'll continue to be haunted by these experiences and have trouble expressing yourself or taking a stand. But once you do the inner work to overcome whatever it was that brought about this inauthentic character trait, you'll be free to live more authentically as the confident, free, and happy person you truly are.

It looks like a simple task – filter a list, so you an see the items you're interested in. Then, copy data from one column, and paste it into another. But you can have a serious problem pasting in Excel filtered list.
Problem Pasting in Excel Filtered List
Pasting data into a filtered list can quickly turn into a big mess, and you'll end up overwriting some of your data.
In the screen shot below, I selected 5 cells in column B, and pasted them into the same rows in column E. However, only 2 of the dates were pasted.
Find the Missing Data
What happened to the other 3 dates that I pasted? When I cleared the filter on the list, I could see that all 5 dates were there. They weren't pasted into the visible rows though – they were pasted into a block of 5 cells, starting with cell E6, where I pasted the data.
In those 5 cells, only two were chocolate chip orders, so those are the only two that I saw, when the list was filtered.
Yikes! I hit the Undo button, immediately, to get the original data back.
Do you have the same problem pasting in Excel filtered lists?
Why does Excel copy the individual, visible cells in a filtered list, then crush our dreams, by pasting them into a contiguous block?
I'd like the option to paste into visible rows, or have that automatically happen, if the list is filtered. Please and thanks!
Workarounds for Pasting
Even though I've asked nicely, Microsoft probably won't be able to fix this problem pasting in excel filtered list by tomorrow. Or ever.
So, to avoid overwriting your data, be sure that you're not pasting anywhere that rows are hidden. Here are a couple of workarounds that I use:
- You could clear any filters, and sort by a column that will bring the rows of interest together. Then do the copying and pasting, while no rows are hidden.
- To copy the selected items into the same rows, in a nearby column, use the Fill Right or Fill Left shortcut. I've made a video that shows how this works. Thanks to Khushnood Viccaji for sharing that tip in the comments below.
- For filters that are more complex, where you can't do a simple filter to bring the rows together, you could insert a temporary column, and mark the rows, as shown in the screen shot below. Then, clear the filters, sort the temporary column, and copy and paste in the marked rows.
- The Paste Buddy add-in, from Excel Campus, has a Paste Visible feature that lets you paste the copied data into the visible cells only.

The STP TemperatureMeasurementLJ program simulates the exchange energy between a demon and a system of particles interacting via the Lennard-Jones potential. The program shows the kinetic temperature of the system as a function of time, and the energy distribution of the demon. The purpose of this simulation is to understand why the demon acts as an ideal thermometer The default system is a one-dimensional ideal gas of N=64 particles in a box with linear dimension 30 and initial kinetic energy per particle of 1.0. Additional states and parameters can be specified using the Display|Switch GUI menu item.
STP TemperatureMeasurementLJ is part of a suite of Open Source Physics programs that model aspects of Statistical and Thermal Physics (STP). The program is distributed as a ready-to-run (compiled) Java archive. Double-clicking the stp_TemperatureMeasurementLJ.jar file will run the program if Java is installed on your computer. Additional programs can be found by searching ComPADRE for Open Source Physics, STP, or Statistical and Thermal Physics.

Snake Warrior's Island Natural Area
3600 S.W. 62nd Ave., Miramar, FL 33023Phone: 954-357-8776 • Fax: 954-357-8786 • Email: firstname.lastname@example.com
Size53.3 acres
HabitatAtlantic coastal ridge, archaeological islands, lake, and eight created wetlands.
VegetationLive oak, gumbo limbo, redbay, strangler fig, cypress, red maple, wild coffee, beautyberry, fire bush, pickerel weed, eel grass, alligator flag, spatterdock, duck potato, and rushes.
WildlifeThis natural area is home to wildlife. Great site to observe wading birds and ducks, wood storks, little blue and tricolored herons, anhinga, white ibis, and osprey. Snake Warrior's Island is part of the Great Florida Birding and Wildlife Trail, which is a collection of nearly 500 sites throughout Florida selected for their excellent bird-watching and/or bird-education opportunities. If you have questions regarding wildlife or wish additional information, please call the park number above. The following safety tips are recommended for our guests: 1. Be aware of your surroundings and avoid the water's edge. 2. Alligators, snakes, and other animals live in this area. 3. Do not approach, feed, or taunt alligators, snakes, or other wildlife. 4. Pets, where permitted, must be on a leash no longer than six feet. 5. No swimming or wading except in designated areas. 6. Use common sense while in this natural area.
AmenitiesConcrete trail, interpretive signage, benches, and picnic tables. The trail is popular with walkers - two loops equals one mile.
A Little HistoryThis 53.3-acre site is one of the most historic of Broward County Parks and Recreation's natural areas. Prehistoric materials excavated there provide evidence of habitation by subsistence cultures dating from approximately 500 B.C. through roughly A.D. 1000 to 1200. Archaeologists have also confirmed that, centuries later, the site was the camp of the Miccosukee leader Chitto Tustenuggee. Also known as the Snake Warrior, Chitto Tustenuggee was designated by chief Sam Jones/Abiaka as his successor during the era of the Second Seminole War (1835-1842), when U.S. government troops clashed with the various groups of Native Americans collectively known as Seminoles.
Historians have identified the site as one of the earliest Seminole settlements in the eastern Everglades and speculate that it had been occupied for more than a dozen years before its Indian inhabitants were attacked and fled in 1841. According to an anonymous soldier's account from that year, "Chitto Tustenuggee's or Snake Warrior's Island is a most beautiful spot, containing from 18 to 20 acres; the soil is extremely rich and two feet deep, lying on rotten limestone. The center is cleared, but the circumference is well protected by immense live oak and wild fig trees, and an almost impenetrable thicket of mangroves." The soldier also reported finding "two towns, two dancing grounds and one council lodge," as well as a variety of artifacts and an abundance of pumpkin, squash, melon, and lima bean plants.
The property was acquired by the Perry family in 1947 and became part of the commercial enterprise Perry Farms, which maintained the land as pasture. It was saved from further development largely due to civic interest in the property as an archaeological and historic site. In 1992 it was purchased by the State of Florida through the Emergency Archaeological Property Acquisition Fund, with assistance from the Trust for Public Land. For purposes of management and preservation, the state leases the land to Broward County, which opened it as a natural area on January 21, 2004.
Prior to drainage, the site consisted of two islands located at the headwaters of Snake Creek (an important canoe route between the coast and the interior), where the creek begins cutting through the Atlantic Coastal Ridge. Today Snake Warrior's Island is characterized by upland areas, an oak hammock, and a series of re-created wetlands. The Parks and Recreation Division, in conjunction with the Broward County Office of Environmental Services (OES), has added such public-access features as a parking lot, a walkway with seating areas, picnic tables, interpretive signage, and fencing. Funding for the more than $1.2 million project was provided through OES and the 2000 Safe Park and Land Preservation Bond Referendum.

New initiatives to grow "Next Generation" of artists and audiences for classics
New York, NY, February 27, 2014 — Elizabeth Sobol, President and CEO of Universal Music Classics, and Shelly Berg, Dean of the Frost School of Music at the University of Miami, announce a strategic business-academic partnership to launch Universal Music U @ Frost, a focused research initiative to identify and innovate new ways for aspiring young professional musicians to build and meaningfully engage with broad-based audiences for "classic" music genres.
The initiative, Universal Music U @ Frost, will center around four areas of innovation –the concert experience, the training of performers, the role of the record label, and the building of a worldwide network of young composers, practitioners and consumers who represent the future of classics.
Frost School of Music students and faculty will work with executives and artists from Universal Music Classics, who will be onsite for hands-on "externships," to develop and test new live concert and recording models, create new marketing approaches, and innovate new audience and social media strategies in keeping with ever-changing technologies and societal developments.
Collaborative plans for Universal Music U @ Frost also include co-developing a new type of master's degree in performance at the Frost School of Music with courses relevant to today's professional world, such as concert programming, new recording paradigms, audience development, entrepreneurship, touring, stage presence, long-term career development, and business management. Some of these courses will be made available online, including an online certificate program
Ms. Sobol, recently appointed President & CEO of Universal Music Classics, is spearheading the division's revitalized commitment to the best that "classics" stands for – music rooted in the classical tradition, while also encompassing a variety of genres including contemporary, jazz, and world music. Universal Music Classics (UMC) aims to "re-imagine classics," with a new focus on U.S. based A&R signings, while remaining the American home of the prestigious Decca, Deutsche Grammophon, Mercury Classics and continuing its long-standing relationship with the esteemed ECM label. Prior to joining Universal in April 2013, Sobol was Managing Director of IMG Artists (N/S America) and counted amongst her personal management clients artists such as Joshua Bell, Itzhak Perlman, James Galway, Hilary Hahn, Evgeny Kissin and the Emerson String Quartet.
Shelly Berg is a three-time Grammy nominated arranger and producer, Steinway piano artist and internationally renowned recording artist and award-winning educator. He was identified in 2000 by Los Angeles Times as one of "three educators for the Millennium." He became dean of the Frost School of Music in 2007 and quickly facilitated the revamping of its entire undergraduate curriculum to be more relevant for the 21st century and in the process recruited over 35 new performance and research faculty with top industry credentials. The new Frost Experiential Music Curriculum incorporates performance, composition, improvisation, history and theory into small, hands-on "experiential" classes organized around chamber music and small group experiences, and require all undergraduates regardless of major to take classes in music technology, music business and entrepreneurship.
Shelly Berg commented: " the future of great music hinges upon the futures of the performing musicians and composers who create it. Our partnership focuses on them, and on giving tomorrow's artists the tools to expand opportunity. We are optimistic about music's future, knowing that the unifying and spiritually elevating role it plays is essential to all of humankind".
Elizabeth Sobol said: "For those of us who care deeply and passionately about classics, it is no longer possible to operate within the old paradigms. We must be take responsibility as change agents in the field, re-imagining and transforming our business to ensure a creative and vibrant future. "

A real Feel Good song with an Eastern influence, a catchy lead with a memorable feel played out in an asian fashion. Smooth taiko drumming and chinese flutes adorn this track along with violins and guitar.
A corporate and motivational feel, amongst all manner of projects this song would "ideally" suit an Asian company based in America or Europe because the song retains a western edge with an Eastern vibe.
Thanks for listening.

The Devil Pups from Camp Lejeune - the sons of marines and sailors, traveling to games in a bus painted with sword-toting troops in full regalia - are an athletic powerhouse among the small-town teams of rural North Carolina.
The Jordan-Matthews High School Jets of Siler City turn heads, too: Mexican boys who tumbled out of white vans on Saturday, arriving at the small-school Class 1-A championship to face the Devil Pups. Their own bus had broken down on the way to the game, discomfiting the boys until coach Paul Cuadros spoke up.
"We were standing at the side of the road, and ... they're anxious about what we're going to do," he recounts. "I ask them in Spanish, 'How many of you have crossed the border?' A few raised their hands. So I said, 'This is nothing compared to that. We'll get there, don't worry.' "
The Devil Pups outspent and towered over their opponents. But they lost the hardscrabble 2-0 match, making the Jets the first Hispanic high school team to win a North Carolina championship. In the process, the tight-knit squad brought together a farm town, if only briefly, that's struggled with the impact of an influx of Hispanics and become emblematic of the region's enduring divides, as a bunch of guys with nicknames like Fish, Mosquito, and RoRo rallied the town in a way that neither the media nor union organizers could.
"This is huge - for the kids and for our town," says Gloria Sanchez-Lane, one of about 300 Jets fans, from Hispanic girls with painted faces to goateed white men pushing strollers, who made the journey to Cary for the championship game, sang, "Olé, olé, olé, olé!," banged on snare drums, and blew air horns in a grandstand carnival.
In Chatham County, where Siler City is abuzz with the news, there are already resolutions to add the win to town records. The team picture will hang alongside those of golf, tennis, and basketball champions in the Jordan-Matthews trophy case. But for townspeople and school alums, the Jets' success goes beyond the hallways.
"This is something which unites the community instead of something that causes splits, and it's a very positive thing," says Tommy Emerson, chairman of the Chatham County Board of Commissioners and a member of Jordan-Matthews's first graduating class in 1957. "We've struggled with this demographic shift, but there's been a big effort to meet the challenges, and this shows we're doing some things right."
The Jets are a major success in the short, strange history of Hispanic immigration to the South, which began in the early 1990s. Ten years ago, Siler City was a town of blacks and whites. Then came the Hispanic men, arriving in a trickle, then a torrent, to North Carolina's pine-covered plains. They were headed to Siler City, the center of North Carolina's poultry kingdom. In 1996, the families started coming to join husbands and fathers, catching off guard not just schools, but communities and small towns that hadn't expected a rush of new faces with an entire culture in tow.
All along, there have been tensions, compounded by the poverty and uncertain futures of small farm towns that are losing income from tobacco farms and manufacturing plants in recent years.
The conundrums were significant enough to make Siler City a case study for last year's PBS documentary, "Matters of Race," about racial tensions between whites and Hispanics in the the region. Three years earlier, Siler City made news when white supremacist David Duke paid a visit.
During team travel, the Jets have seen those tensions first-hand and gotten used to slurs from the opposition's parents - from threats to call immigration authorities to the simple but hurtful "Stupid Mexicans."
"The thing I would always say is: Just take it out on the field, let's just beat them as badly as we can," says Cuadros. "Our motto has been strength and honor, forca y honor: Strength wins you games, but honor makes you winners."
Still, outright discrimination has been rare on the Jets' home turf, says principal David Moody: "Sure, there are struggles for everybody, but I have been here for four years, and I've never heard a statement, 'Well, I wish they'd go back to their country,' " says Mr. Moody, Indeed, he attributes the victory to the strength of a team that's overcome differences among its players.
In part, that's due to Cuadros, the son of Peruvian immigrants, who came to Siler City in 1999 to write on the emergence of Hispanic communities in the Southeast. Alone and bored, the former high school soccer captain began coaching youth leagues and lobbying the high school to establish a soccer team - an uphill fight in a town where Baptist services and football ruled the weekends.
Many of the players struggled academically and at home; Cuadros helped them with homework and refereed family battles. Several boys whose grades sank last year have worked their way back onto the squad. Cuadros hosted barbecues and team meetings at his house, where he fine-tuned sandlot skills into strategies to compete with physically stronger teams.
Today, Cuadros says, they're also helping to shape a game that, in America, is dominated by traveling clubs and players trained like classical musicians with structured time for practice and games - a contrast to the Hispanic tradition of years of backyard tricks that hone a knack for spontaneous moves.
This year, 3 out of 4 North Carolina conference champions had large numbers of Hispanic players, most of them the sons of immigrants. Cuadros hopes their success will catch college recruiters' eyes.
"This team represents something than just another soccer team," he says. "And everybody's proud of this team, whether they're white, black, or Hispanic."
Celebrating after the game, Abelardo Ramirez, a prolific midfielder with 21 goals for the season, says the win is less about acceptance than perseverance - and an affirmation that honor and hard work have their own rewards. "This is what we fought for," he says, talking about more than the medal around his neck.

Beyond Revolution has moved to Beyondrevolution.wordpress.com. The reason for this is to fight anarchist in-fighting as well as to acknowledge that though the current global uprisings may be anarchist in nature or that they may be very anarchistic, Most of the elements that have come together to make these movement(s) what they are do not identify as anarchist. In short, this global movement we are seeing today is one of a natural, instinctual character and as so it hopefully will avoid the sectarianism and dogma of any single ideology. The new version of the site, I hope shall demonstrate this. Another reason for moving away from the word 'anarchism' as opposed to moving away from its core principles is to avoid unjustified preconceptions of what anarchy means and as such gain an even wider audience. It is my opinion that regardless of what we call this push towards liberty it is that push that is important and not the label(s) attributed to it.

Neil Lennon's men spurned more than their fair share of chances and were eventually punished when the hosts rallied in the final minutes of their Champions League opener
Cristian Zapata's strike deflected off the Bhoys defender to put the hosts ahead after 82 minutes and, with the visitors pushing for a way back into the game, the Ghanaian doubled the Italian side's lead three minutes later to get the Rossoneri off to a winning start in Group H.
The well-documented Milan injury list meant that Massimiliano Allegri was forced into a number of changes, with Stephan El Shaarawy, Kaka, Giampaolo Pazzini, Riccardo Montolivo and Ignazio Abate among the absentees.
Slovenia international Valter Birsa made his debut for the club while Antonio Nocerino partnered Nigel de Jong in midfield for the clash.
Celtic had injuries of their own to contend with and were unable to name James Forrest or Joe Ledley in their matchday squad, although Adam Matthews shook off an ankle problem to start.
Mario Balotelli was quickly among the action, volleying an effort at Fraser Forster after three minutes, but the Celtic goalkeeper was equal to the task as he palmed the strike away.
Celtic's first chance came from a indirect free kick inside the area following a backpass but Charlie Mulgrew saw his shot deflected over the crossbar.
Alessandro Matri's header then forced another good save from Forster before Nocerino fired narrowly over just after the half-hour mark.
Balotelli again threatened a minute from the break when his low, swerving effort almost deflected into the far corner of Forster's goal.
Giorgos Samaras had the first opportunity of the second half for Celtic, with the Greek firing just past Christian Abbiati's post while Muntari headed just over for the hosts a minute after the hour mark.
After a lengthy period of Milan pressure, Anthony Stokes crashed a free kick against the crossbar for the visitors 10 minutes from time with Abbiati beaten.
However, two minutes later, Milan had their lead courtesy of a Zapata effort from outside the area that deflected off Izaguirre and in.
Muntari was then on hand three minutes later to make it two, bundling home from close-range after Balotelli's free kick had come back off the post to ensure that Milan came away with the three points.

Security in Development: The IBM Secure Engineering Framework
An IBM Redguide publication
Published 18 March 2010
IBM Form #: REDP-4641-00
(24 pages)

Authors: Axel Buecker, Danny Allan, Tim Hahn, Andras Szakal, Jim Whitmore
IBM® has long been recognized as a leading provider of hardware, software, and services that are of the highest quality, reliability, function, and integrity. IBM products and services are used around the world by people and organizations with mission-critical demands for high performance, high stress tolerance, high availability, and high security.
As a testament to this long-standing attention at IBM, demonstration of this can be traced back to the Integrity Statement for IBM mainframe software, originally published in 1973:
"IBM's long-term commitment to System Integrity is unique in the industry, and forms the basis of MVS (now z/OS®) industry leadership in system security. IBM MVS (now z/OS) is designed to help you protect your system, data, transactions, and applications from accidental or malicious modification. This is one of the many reasons IBM 360 (now System z®) remains the industry's premier data server for mission-critical workloads."
This commitment continues to apply to IBM's mainframe systems.
The IT market has certainly transformed in 35-plus years, and so have product development and information security practices. The IBM commitment to continuously improving product security has remained a constant differentiator for the company.
In this IBM Redguide™ we describe secure engineering practices for software products. We offer a description of an end-to-end approach to product delivery, with security taken into account. IBM is publishing this in the hope that interested parties - whether they be clients, other IT companies, academics and others - can find these practices to be a useful example of the type of security practices that are increasingly a must-have for developing products and applications that run in the world's digital infrastructure. We also hope this IBM Redguide can enrich our continued collaboration with others in the industry, standards bodies, government, and elsewhere, as we seek to learn and continuously refine our approach.
