ABIDJAN: Suspected Nigerian pirates have hijacked a French-owned Luxembourg-flagged tanker along with its 17-member crew off Ivory Coast, Ivorian officials and the International Maritime Bureau said yesterday.
The Gulf of Guinea area is second only to the waters off Somalia for piracy and there has been a spate of violent attacks in vessels in recent days. The Gascogne was the second vessel to be seized off Ivory Coast in less than three weeks and the first to have been taken so far from shore.
Many of the pirate gangs are offshoots of militant groups that once operated in Nigeria's oil-rich Niger Delta and mainly target ships carrying refined petroleum products that are easily sold on the local black market. Ivory Coast authorities said the Gascogne had been chartered by South Korean petroleum transporter SK Shipping. It had taken on 3,000 tonnes of diesel fuel in Abidjan on January 30 but had already off loaded a portion of its cargo when it was seized on Sunday.
The 17-strong crew comprised seven Togolese, two Senegalese, two Ivorians, one South Korean, one Chinese and four sailors from Benin.

Talisman Energy (NYSE:TLM) is planning to spend billions on the development of various properties in the North Sea in 2011 and beyond as the company looks to keep production from this region stable through 2020.
TUTORIAL: Top Stock-Picking Strategies
North Sea
Talisman Energy has allocated $1.2 billion out of its total cash capital budget of $4 billion on exploration and development of the North Sea in 2011. Two-thirds of this spending will be directed towards the United Kingdom with the balance in Norway. The company will keep this level of capital spending in the North Sea stable through 2015.
Talisman Energy has a goal of keeping production from its North Sea properties between 110,000 and 140,000 barrels of oil equivalent (BOE) per day through 2020. In 2011, the company expects production from the North Sea to range between 130,000 and 135,000 BOE per day.
United Kingdom
One major area for Talisman Energy in the United Kingdom portion of the North Sea is the Auk North project, which started up production ahead of schedule in late 2010. The company estimates that production from this project will peak in 2011 and 2012 at approximately 14,000 BOE per day, with proven and probable reserves of 23 million BOE.
Talisman Energy is working on the Auk South development and expects first oil from here in 2013. The company estimates that the Auk South project will yield proven and probable reserves of 36 million BOE.
Talisman Energy is also planning on redevelopment at Claymore and will conduct infill drilling here with production expected in 2011. Eni (NYSE:E) has a 20% ownership of the Claymore complex.
Other projects scheduled for development over the next few years include the Cayley, Godwin and Shaw discoveries from the MonArb Hub, and the Flyndre and Cawdor discoveries from the Fulmar Hub.
In Norwegian waters, Talisman Energy is nearly finished with the Yme redevelopment project, with first production expected in late 2011. The company estimates that production from Yme will peak at approximately 30,000 BOE per day with proven and probable reserves of 44 million BOE.
Other Players
One large operator in the North Sea is Statoil ASA (NYSE:STO), which recently reported a discovery at the Krafla prospect. The company is also developing the Visund South project, which is expected to come online in 2012.
Not all operators have been successful in the North Sea. In April 2011, Nexen (NYSE:NXY) reported an unsuccessful wildcat well at the Ronaldo project. The well was testing various lower Jurassic reservoirs in the area.
The Bottom Line
Talisman Energy will allocate billions during the decade to try to keep production from the North Sea in a stable range through 2020, as the company looks to get growth from other areas of its portfolio. (For related reading, also take a look at our Oil And Gas Industry Primer.)

On Tuesday, Metlakatla elected Audrey Hudson as mayor, the first woman mayor in the Annette Island community's 126-year history.
Hudson won the seat by a margin of 11 votes, defeating Karl Cook 376-365.
Despite the close vote, there will not be a recount, according to outgoing MIC Secretary Diana Yliniemi.
Counting absentee ballots, 746 people voted in the Metlakatla Indian Community elections.
Yliniemi lost her bid for re-election against Judith Eaton, 355 votes to 377, respectively.
Also Tuesday, voters elected Nathan Fawcett over Victoria Wagner for treasurer, 433-297.
Out of the seven Tribal Council candidates, the following six won a seat: Connie Darling, 505 votes; Myranell Bergtold, 517 votes; Rich Hudson Sr., 580 votes; Karen Thompson, 489 votes; Daniel Williams, 491 votes; and Solomon Atkinson, 439 votes.
With 394 votes, Rachael Askren did not win a seat on the council.
Each elected position is for a two-year term. The newly elected candidates will be sworn in on Dec. 3.
The election results were announced shortly after 10 a.m., Metlakatla time, on Tuesday. The island was abuzz with the election results, with residents taking to Facebook and Twitter to celebrate Hudson's historic win.
Reached for comment Wednesday morning, Mayor-elect Hudson said she "couldn't be better."
"I'm about neck-deep in congratulations," she added. "I've got some grand ideas for Metlakatla and I'm ready."
Metlakatla first was settled in 1887 and is the only reservation in Alaska. The MIC Constitution was approved in August of 1944.

Paradise Life is literally FrontierVIlle on an island setting. You have your own island, and on it you have to clear the growth, harvest plants, build structures, fish from ponds, and even defeat villains in the exact same way as FrontierVille. You have your energy meter which controls all actions within the game, your food meter which allows you to buy meals from the store (which convert into energy), favor points (such as reputation in FrontierVille) that are awarded for helping on your friend's islands, a questing system the follows the template FrontierVille has created, family members and the ability to unlock them, collections, wishlists, you name it. In fact, some of the interfaces are so similar that it's a blatant copy of Zynga's hit wild west game.
Zynga have received such a bad reputation in the past for cloning other games by smaller developers and making them into huge successes. It's actually kind of ironic to see the same thing happening right back at Zynga to FrontierVille, which was Zynga's first original design. However, it remains to be seen if Paradise Life will prove to be a success for Ice Break Games, as it doesn't appear to do anything to better Zynga's design. Zynga's success has come from taking the ideas that other people come up with and making them more polished and better suited to a social game audience. Paradise Life is clearly an identical clone with a fresh island setting.
Don't get us wrong, the game is cute and well done. It's polished more than Cafe LIfe, and feels really great to play. The avatars are very cute, the colors are bright and inviting, and it's so much of an exact copy of FrontierVille that we're sure it will see some residual success because of that. However where games like Ravenwood Fair have iterated on a successful design like FrontierVille and made a new unique fresh-feeling game, we can't help but feel like Paradise LIfe brings very little of worth to our selection of games to play.
Are we wrong? Are you enjoying Paradise Life? Do tell us in the comments!

text: Canine Communication Posted on May 04 , 2014 by Purina Print Home > Blog > Training Pets > Canine Communication Tags: dog training, dogs, training, training dogs and cats Drew Webster CPDT-KA Dogs have the unique ability to read body language. Today you wake up and you can't speak. You can't write. You can't type which means you can't text either. How do you communicate with the world now? This is what every day is like being a dog. They lack the ability to talk but dogs have an amazing ability, the ability to read body language and interpret human intention. Whether you want to teach a dog a new skill or strengthen an old favorite, lose the language. Show your dog how to do a skill before you name the behavior with gestures and non-verbal communication. First, lure the dog into what you want (sit, down, touch your hand, etc.) using body language and bribing him with something motivating like a treat or toy. Then come up with something easy to let him know he got it right like "YES!" and reward. Do this until you don't have to show him any gesture, the dog just offers the behavior because they know it is rewarding to do so. Then add the cue or the word you want to be identified with the behavior by praising and naming it ("Good Sit"). The true beauty of dogs is their uncompromising simplicity. Simplify your canine communication to body language and gestures. Dogs repeat rewarded behavior so if you motivate them, show them what you want, and reward it frequently, you will build good habits. Dog training is simply establishing effective communication. The process of teaching your dog to recognize verbal commands takes time, consistency and patience. Remember that your dog does not have spoken language so for two different species to find a bridge you will need to create canine communication that you both speak fluently. Keep it simple.

Dec 17 2007Orbiting Fan Is Wack Looking, Okay I Think
The Brisa 2000 ceiling fan is pretty funny looking. That's because the fan actually orbits around that big sphere in the center, allowing for all kinds of air mobility! You can rotate the fan itself from straight down to straight up, depending on the season, so it's also pretty functional. It's also pretty expensive -- $1000 a pop. But you can get them in all kinds of different finishes and the company accepts custom orders as well. I actually made one myself, and it turned out surprisingly alright. It makes getting in and out of the bunk-bed a little dangerous, but if you do get hit it isn't that painful. Definitely nothing compared to the scorch of the flame-throwing bidet I made for my wife.
Two different models after the jump if you're curious.

Aside from the design changes, these is actually a pretty old type of fans. I used to see them all the time in old barbershops and places like that.
Even though, huh, I live in Brazil, but I guess I saw some like that in american movies too...
I see these a good bit down South. Cane's Restaurants uses them in most of their stores.
This is looking good
OMG!!! I actually have one of those!!! It sucks!!! Like really! It's super loud and does absolutely NOTHING!!!! no air sirculation!!! X_x

An Ohio college professor active in the campaign against collective bargaining law Senate Bill 5 has been elected present of the American Association of University Professors.
Wright State University economics professor Rudy Fichtenbaum was elected last month along with other members of a slate called "AAUP Organizing for Change" and will take office in June.
His election marks a turn for the AAUP away from its traditional role of issuing policy statements on issues such as academic freedom and towards union organizing. That's a big change for the 47,000-member nonprofit and comes despite significant barriers to college faculty unionization.
Fichtenbaum, who quotes Karl Marx on his faculty home page, said in a written statement that the AAUP should make labor organizing "to defend our profession and genuinely reform higher education" its highest priority:
[related_content align="right"]
We believe that higher education in general and the AAUP in particular stand at a critical crossroads. Everywhere our profession and its values are under assault. Attacks on collective bargaining rights and shared governance, the abuse of non-tenure track faculty (both full-time and part-time) and consequent erosion of tenure, the misplaced priorities of politicians and many university leaders, and assaults on the free expression rights of both faculty and students are increasing. To meet these challenges faculty in general and the AAUP in particular must move beyond our traditional modes of defense, invaluable as these are.
And at this April 2011 SB 5 campaign event, Fichtenbaum called SB 5 and Gov.John Kasich's budget "part of a well-financed plan to undermine the standard of living for working Americans." Post-Citizens United, he said:
Organized labor is one of the only forces standing in the way of complete and unfettered domination and control of our polical system by big corporations.

The state of the United States' patent system has been pretty static since 1952, other than some case law explaining what can and cannot be patented. However, the system itself hasn't really changed. The America Invents Act, 125 Stat. 284-341, significantly changes the system. A breif, and by no means complete (for isntance, the expansion of prior art is outside the scope of this post), review of this new law follows.
In short, the Act switches the patent system from a first to invent system to a first to file system. Further it eliminates interference proceedings and further developes post-grant opposition proceedings. This Act puts the United States patent system in greater sync with most patent systems in the world. The Act goes into effect on March 16, 2013.
Before the Act the first person to invent a patentable invention was entitled to the patent on that invention. Under the America Invents Act, and its restructuring of the system, the first person to file the patent application gets the patent. The practical consequence of this is that if two people invent at nearly the same time, the first to file the application will get the patent. In the past, there would be an argument to determine who had actually invented it, and the inventor who won would be awarded the patent.
In the past, there were ex parte reexamination procedures. Under the new Act, this will be retained and in addition there will be the ability to submite prior to issuance and expands the inter partes reexamination, as well as adding post-grant review.
You can expect to have much more narrowly claimed inventions. There will likely be less time spent trying to claim as much as possible under the patent, and there will be a race to the USPTO with claims that are appropriate. In addition, those persons falling in the "micro-entity" category are allowed a 75% discount on patent fees paid to the USPTO during the prosecution process. However, these smaller entities may have trouble beating those with sophisticated legal counsel or large patent departments to the filing with the USPTO.

Church's Park Fire 100% Contained
Fire May Burn Until First Snow
The Church's Park Fire in Grand County has been 100 percent contained.It was located approximately five miles west of Fraser on the south side of Sheep Mountain and burned on National Forest and Bureau of Land Management system lands.Crews will continue to monitor the fire and were starting to repair the fire lines to a natural condition. The public can expect to continue to see smoke and burning in the interior of the fire until snow covers the area.The Grand County sheriff has lifted all evacuation alerts.Due to fire suppression activities and safety concerns because of falling trees, people are urged to stay out of this area and please follow all posted closures.The fire area remains closed to the public because firefighters are still conducting a great deal of activities in the area. There are also a significant number of hazardous trees along the road ways.The area may remain closed until the snow flies due to hazardous tree removal projects.Officials said the fire was human caused but have released no further information about the start of the fire.

Supermodel Kate Moss is back for her second collaboration with high street retailer Topshop in new collection.
Iit's no secret that Kate Moss' wardrobe is constantly scrutinised and everything she wears becomes an instant trend. And if you want to look as stylish as Moss, you need to check out her latest collection with Topshop.
Her first collaboration was a resounding success and this particular collection is said to embody the spirit of "being Kate".
The 40-piece line is boho chic with a touch of luxe and ranges from casual to semi-formal wear. It has a summer festival feel and you can find pieces like a buttery soft suede runner shorts, flowy paisley printed tops and Native American embroidered mini dresses.
There are also lace maxi dresses, camisole tops and scarves for the day and chic beaded fringed mini dresses, smart catsuits, tailored black and gold tuxedo jackets and slinky silver sheath maxi dresses for night.
Moss shares some thoughts on the collection and design process in an e-mail interview.
What was your source of inspiration for this collaboration? Have you a name for the collection?
My collections are always music focused. Going to festivals is what I think of as summer – it's what summer means to me. But there is also a lot of hippy deluxe "lounging around the pool" kind of things, and plenty to wear for cocktail hour. I would totally wear everything in the collection – they are all pieces inspired from my own wardrobe, pieces that I can wear in different situations and in different ways. The collection doesn't have a name but it is divided into four distinctive trends which are balearic dressing, pajama, cocktail hour and tailoring noir.
Why did you decide to do a
collaboration and why after three years?
I have shopped in Topshop since I was really young, living in Croydon and I think it is the best shop on the high street. Plus I have always wanted to design my own collection and as I am still really busy modelling, the collaboration is the perfect opportunity. I have a great relationship with Topshop and Uncle Phil (Sir Philip Green, the owner of Topshop).
Philip and I get on really well and he asked me back so I said "yes!" I also really missed being involved in the design process, and working with the team at Topshop. I am very excited to create a new collection that bears my name. Now more than ever with London being at the forefront of fashion, it does feel like I'm back home working with Topshop.
What are the differences between your first collaboration and this collection?
My first collection was three and a half years ago. I have grown up since then, and things that I want to wear are different. It is a natural evolvement. I was girlier then, and I could still get away with wearing flowery little things. We still have tea dresses in the collection, but they are more grown up now – a bit more sophisticated but you can still wear them if you are young.
When you are designing a collection, what items do you always include?
A jacket is always a good one – our jackets have always been my favourite things. The leather jackets are amazing, and the blazers. There is also need for the little tea dresses and it is essential to have dresses for special occasions like cocktail dresses and some great evening pieces.
Were there any challenges? If so, what were they and how did you overcome them?
We spent a lot of time making sure the embellishments were right and making the collection look chic and glamorous, while keeping the essence that is "being Kate".
Talk us through the design process. What is your favourite part?
I like the whole process from hanging out with the girls (in the design team), deciding on the concept, getting excited about things and realising "we really can get the quality of the fabrics we want" and, of course, seeing the final collection come back.
You mentioned the essence of the collection is "being Kate" – explain how this will come across in the collection. Will the collection be representative of your style and taste?
Because I would wear everything in the collection, it is really true to my style. There are pieces I want to wear in any situation: like the pyjama slip dress and the tailoring – the tailoring noir and things that I couldn't find or wanted more of so have included them, I'll be wearing it all.
I wanted to add more of the things I love, like all of the vintage laces and embellished pieces that are difficult to find. Because they are second-hand the lace is often ripped or the sequins are falling off so to have a new version is the perfect solution.
Which is your personal favourite piece?
There are so many, but if I had to narrow it down, my list would include the gold and black suit; the embroidered kaftan because it is a copy of a vintage find that I wear every summer; the blue leather fringe jacket which is based on the one I have worn to three Rolling Stones concerts and it's my gig jacket; and the white lace maxi dress because of the work that has gone into making it.
What are your expectations for the collection?
That it becomes timeless with pieces people will wear again and again. I have been told that people are still buying my first collection online, that shows the collections have longevity which is great.
> The Kate Moss x Topshop collection will be in stores April 30.

Check your numbers: $1 million Powerball ticket sold in Searcy | News
SEARCY, Ark. (KTHV) -- The second largest Powerball jackpot in history stands at $550 million and will be up for grabs in this Saturday's Powerball drawing, but a few lucky winners have already scored $1 million from last night's drawing. One of those winners just so happened to buy their ticket right here in Arkansas.
"It's kind of like Charlie and the Chocolate Factory almost. I don't know. It's cool," said Sean Cannon, an attendant at Crossroads Express II in Searcy.
Cannon said he knew nothing about his store selling a $1 million dollar ticket until he answered the phone when THV11 called.
"I pick up the phone, and I was like 'Wait a second. This is Channel 11 calling about a $1 million ticket! No way! Yeah, I guess we sold it!,'" said Cannon.
But, who bought that million dollar Powerball ticket still remains a mystery. Scott Darby, a regular customer at Crossroads Express said unfortunately it wasn't him.
"They asked me when I came in a little bit ago because I come here quite a bit, but it wasn't me. You meet people who've won $20,000 three times, you know, but never me," said Darby.
"We know that it was sold yesterday, we believe, and other than that, we don't know who it is, [or] who sold it, so we're still kind of anxious about that. It's kind of exciting. We're looking forward to finding that out," said Cannon.
When they do, Cannon hopes the lucky winner will share their luck with Crossroads Express.
"There is always the customer who will come in and say 'Hey, if I win, I'll give you so much,' so it would be nice to have someone actually stick to that and make the pockets lined a little easier, but if not, enjoy the winnings," said Cannon.
Cannon and his co-workers said the winner could be anyone from a regular customer to a truck driver just passing through. Whoever it is, the lottery commission said they still have not claimed their million dollar winnings, so they are asking anyone who bought a ticket from Crossroads Express on Wednesday to check those numbers. You could be a millionaire.
The next Powerball drawing will be this Saturday night at 9:59 with a jackpot of $550 million. That's $350.1 million in cash.
The winning Powerball numbers from Wednesday are:
2 - 11- 26 - 24 - 41 Powerball: 32

#32 in the "Greatest 100 U.S. Coins" book
Examples of this type are the first Indian Eagles that the United States Mint produced in sizeable numbers for circulation. This type was borne out of Chief Engraver Charles E. Barber's objection to the use of outside artists for the creation of new coinage designs. (In the specific case of the Indian Eagle, the outside artist is noted American sculptor Augustus Saint-Gaudens). After tinkering with the Rolled Edge design of 1907, Barber created the type that is known as either the No Motto or No Periods Indian Eagle. The new design differed from its predecessors in several ways, most notably by the absence of traingular periods around the Latin motto E PLURIBUS UNUM on the reverse, a different style olive branch and stronger feather tips in the eagle's wings. Additionally, No Motto examples tend to be more softly defined over Liberty's haircurls than coins of the Wire Edge and Rolled Edge varieties. Still absent in the new design is the motto IN GOD WE TRUST, an ommission that reflects President Theodore Roosevelt's belief that the use of a diety's name on coinage is blasphemous. Congress mandated that the motto be returned to the Eagle, however, and it duly took up its place in the left reverse field beginning partway through 1908. The No Motto type, therefore, lasted for just two years, and the inclusion of an example is an important prerequisite for the completion of a type set of United States gold.

Wayne County deputies say a tip from a concerned citizen led to the arrest of a murder suspect Saturday morning.
Deputies were called out to an area on Waller Road in Mount Olive in reference to an assault around 2 a.m. Saturday.
When they got there deputies found 32-year-old Alexander Sura-Cruz dead.
Deputies say the murder suspect had fled the area. They say the suspect was an acquaintance of Sura-Cruz.
Canine units tracked the suspect until the track was lost at a road. Detectives investigating were able to identify a suspect. Warrants were then secured for the arrest of Carlos Calderon.
Later in the morning a concerned citizen reported a suspicious person walking near a wood line off of Waller Road. Deputies responded and found Calderon. Calderon was arrested around 10:20 a.m. He is in jail under no bond and charged with one count of murder.
Sura-Cruz will has been taken to the Medical Examiner's Office for an autopsy.

I still feel fortunate that David Morse spoke with me for this tribute. He seems like a quiet family man who doesn't like to talk about himself but loves the craft of acting and feels fortunate to have made a career out of it, one that keeps him quite busy. He just finished playing the title role in an independent film called McCanick that filmed in his hometown of Philadelphia. The next day, he was heading to Vancouver for a small part in the film Horns, starring Daniel Radcliffe, before returning to New Orleans to conclude his role as police Lt.. Terry Colson in the criminally shortened final season of HBO's Treme, which gets a whopping five episodes to wrap up all its stories. Morse stood out among the members of the St. Elsewhere ensemble as the conscientious Jack Morrison, and NBC executives loved him for it. "He is such a lovely, talented actor. The minute he came in to audition, it was so obvious that he was a special guy," Brand said. "We loved writing for him."
Other St. Elsewhere writers, particularly after the first season, however, loved to flip off people who pissed them off, and Morse and his character became part of the collateral damage from that impulse. "After those first two seasons, there's not a lot that stands out for me. I loved directing on that last year and there are some things . . . the dream episode was really fun to do. Just sort of as an experience, [I loved] those first two seasons because of a lot of what my character was going through but also what he represented. That really was what I thought of as the character," Morse said. "I thought he was fighting his fight in a strong way and coming out a single parent, losing his wife, all the things he was dealing with in the hospital."
The second season death of his wife, Nina (Deborah White), provided one of the most memorable and touching moments not only of St. Elsewhere, but of television in general. That was particularly dramatic material but, after that, Jack's traumas began piling up. His medical license proved to be invalid because he went to a shady school overseas. His brief romance with a woman named Clancy (Helen Hunt) ended after she cheated and aborted a pregnancy. Jack got temporarily paralyzed. His young son Pete was abducted. The clincher came when, while performing required volunteer duty at a prison, Jack was raped by an inmate. As if rape of any sort calls for puns and mocking, that episode bears the name "Cheek to Cheek." Later, when that inmate, Nick Moats (John Dennis Johnston), gets out of prison and tries to find Jack again, little Pete, unbeknownst to his father, swaps his cap pistol for the real gun Morrison purchased for protection. When Jack aims to kill Moats, he's unarmed. Thankfully, the oblivious toddler wanders in and plugs the bad guy himself, leaving Jack to complain that he was "impotent again." No wonder Morse felt compelled to play so many bad guys later in his career.
I asked Morse if at any point he talked to the producers or the writers about the nonstop barrage of suffering placed on Morrison's shoulders. "I never really talked to them. No. I have my own theories about it and my own thoughts about it, but it's kind of like talking about your own family," Morse said. "I don't really want to express it because we never really have talked about it. I think it's more complicated than just what was on the screen." I believe clues to the reasons behind the onslaught have been in plain view for a long time, though I can't prove my hypothesis definitively. First though, a shaggy dog story.
How many remember the NBC series Here's Boomer, that began in March 1980 and whose final episode aired a few months before St. Elsewhere's premiere? That small number would be a lot smaller if Mark Tinker didn't remind everyone repeatedly that the show about a mixed-breed terrier, a sort of canine Lone Ranger who traveled from town to town helping those in need before moving on, led to Jack Morrison's nickname "Boomer" on St. Elsewhere. As Tinker has said since at least a Dec. 1, 1986 article in Us magazine by Mark Morrison, on the 2006 DVD commentary track of the "Cora and Arnie" episode, and to me personally, "The network was quite enamored of that program. On that show, they would tell the producers, they wanted more Boomer. On our show, they wanted more Morrison. Somehow we turned that into wanting more Boomer, and so we gave [Jack] the nickname Boomer." Tinker says the same network executives sent those notes, and the Us article specifically refers to Here's Boomer and St. Elsewhere having a common director who shared that story—the only common helmer being Victor Lobl. The Us article also quotes St. Elsewhere writer-producer and Tinker's co-developer, John Masius, as admitting that by the end of the first season, Jack's self-righteousness began to bore some of the writers and "we chipped away at his façade." Funny. Watching the first season again, while I realize that Morse was playing a character, I had no inkling that Jack Morrison himself was some kind of phony putting on a show. He appeared genuinely sincere to me. The Us story and another one in People magazine the same year promoted Morrison's wedding in the fifth season to Bonnie (Patricia Wettig), pushing the notion that Jack's suffering might be over. One sentence in the Sept. 29, 1986 People story by Suzanne Adelson read, "'It's definitely going to get better for Jack,' promises co-producer John Masius, 'but it isn't going to be Miracle on 34th Street.'" Morse was quoted then as skeptically saying, "I think they're having too much fun with Jack for things to get better." His instincts proved correct, since marital bliss ended up hampered by a former husband, Bonnie's departure for Seattle, and the eventual return of Nick Moats and his encounter with pistol-packing little Pete. If I'm correct at what lay behind the tormenting of Morse and Morrison, its impetus truly was nothing short of juvenile. Of course, it's all speculation on my part, combined with bits and pieces of circumstantial evidence, though it might be telling to look at which members of the behind-the-scenes St. Elsewhere team Morse worked with again and which ones he didn't.
Whatever prompted that nonsense, it doesn't change the fact that Morse persevered and made Jack Morrison one of many great performances in his career. Pickett, whose character briefly hooked up with Jack in the final season, remembers "how shy David Morse was and I was shy, so we were shy together." The ensemble welcomed Nancy Stafford in the second season as Joan Halloran, the person assigned by the city to oversee St. Eligius' budget, as well as the love interest for the hospital's new plastic surgeon, Dr. Bobby Caldwell (Mark Harmon). She remains proud of the success her co-stars have achieved. "It sure did launch some great on-camera people. Howie Mandel is still doing stuff. He proved in that series to be a very underrated actor. David Morse is such a great actor, and I've always wanted to work with him again. I'm sorry I haven't had that chance over the years, but he proved to be just this amazing guy. Of course, then you get Mark Harmon and Denzel (Washington). So proud of those guys." Still, Jack's first tragedy in that second season provided Morse and Morrison with that indelible television moment.
The excerpt above can't quite do justice to the convergence of storylines that led to that remarkable ending. It was the fourth episode of the second season. Stafford's Joan Halloran had just been introduced as the "bad guy" because her job description made her ever-watchful for St. Eligius' expenditures, which received a large added expense in the first episode when Alan Arkin's Jerry Singleton decided to redecorate the E.R. with his car. At the same time, Dr. Craig was determined to perform a heart transplant on a longtime and otherwise healthy patient, the near saint Eve Leighton (the late Marian Mercer). Morrison's main patient was Piper Laurie's recovering stroke victim Fran Singleton. Then tragedy strikes in the form of a freak accident that takes Nina Morrison's life. She becomes the heart donor for Eve Leighton, leading to an unforgettable scene, as Jack quietly listens for a connection to the wife taken from him so suddenly. "I've had so many people talk to me about that over the years," Morse said. "Of course, everybody thinks they're the only one who remembers it and they're the only one it meant so much to—I can't even give a number to the number of people who have talked to me about that episode. It's an iconic moment in television, I think." So iconic that more than a decade later, the soap opera General Hospital essentially ripped it off when the young daughter of one of its doctors died and her heart saved another child's life, sending the daytime doctor to listen to his late daughter's heart as well. "Steal from the best," Morse said. Despite all of Jack Morrison's trial and tribulations, he (and Morse) did receive a quite appropriate on-air gift in the show's final episode.

Jul 20 2009EATR Robot NOT Designed To Eat Dead Bodies, Or, How A Company Backpedals
Cyclone Power Technologies, the company behind the Energetically Autonomous Tactical Robot (EATR), denies that it was designed to dine on human corpses. Obviously, they're lying through their oil-stained, robot loving teeth.
"We completely understand the public's concern about futuristic robots feeding on the human population, but that is not our mission," said Harry Schoell, CEO of Cyclone Power Technologies. "We are focused on demonstrating that our engines can create usable, green power from plentiful, renewable plant matter."
Let me tell you a little personal story: I used to be vegetarian. Now I eat the hell out of some meat. Draw your own conclusion.

Hi! I'm one of the engineers working on EATR, and just wanted to let you know that EATR has no ability to deal with proteins - meat - at all. It can only "digest" or process plant material, and it prefers dried out leaves, twigs, and branches-in other words, dead plants. We don't have any way to convert animal parts into energy. You can see more at my blog, http://mrrobot0.blogspot.com. We do appreciate that you found our project interesting.

Sony gives an update on the Jelly Bean release schedule
As promised Sony gave more details on the Jelly Bean released schedule plus which phones wont be getting the update and why.
The first phones to get the Jelly Bean update are Xperia T, TX and V. The roll out will start in February and should be completed by the end of March.
The next trio to get the Jelly Bean treatment is the Xperia P, J and go. Sony will start seeding the updates for those at the end of March.
The last four phones to get Android Jelly Bean are Xperia S, SL, ion and acro S. The rollout for them will begin a few weeks after the second batch of phones get the Jelly Bean treatment, presumably sometime in late April.
This means Xperia arc S, U, sola, miro and tipo are out of the loop and will be stuck on ICS forever, at least as far as official updates are concerned. Sony already responded to those angered by the news.
Here is the quote about the Xperia U, sola, miro and tipo:
"The quality of Xperia's software experience is dependent on a number of factors including: screen resolution, hardware platform and RAM. In the case of Xperia go, this combination came together in a way that meant the user experience running JB was not adversely affected.
Unfortunately, in the case of Xperia tipo, Xperia miro, Xperia U and Xperia sola this wasnt the case so we made the decision to keep them on Ice Cream Sandwich."
And this one is about the arc S:
"Xperia Arc S is part of our 2011 portfolio, which wont be upgraded beyond ICS. The reason being user experience is at the heart of our product development and support; after thorough evaluation, we concluded that the user experience for our 2011 Xperia smartphones will be superior if they remain on Ice Cream Sandwich versus being upgraded to Jelly Bean."
In case you are wondering how is that the low-end Xperia J is getting the Jelly Bean update, while the dual-core U and sola aren't - despite Sony didn't make any statement, we guess the GPU is the one to blame.
All three phones have 512MB of RAM, but the Adreno 200 GPU on the Xperia J uses far less RAM than the Mali-400 inside the Xperia U and sola. We also know that Project Butter needs more GPU power than what the ICS UI. And the insufficient RAM due to GPU usage is probably the reason why these phones won't be getting to taste Jelly Bean.

The Teak wood countertops from Proteak provide a natural beauty and durability of a renewably harvested teak. The wood is not only self-healing the natural resins give it the ability to resist moisture, termites, acid and fungus, as well as help resist warping and cracking. There are a variety of classic teak styles and sizes to choose from for countertops and islands in face grain, edge grain or end grain styles.
Standard tops feature a face grain construction with square edges, 1-1/2" thick and 25" deep with counter and backsplash widths from 48" to 120". The end grain tops are custom sized in a thickness of 2-1/2". All of the material is grown on reclaimed ranch lands along Mexico's Pacific coast consequently they do not contribute to the deforestation of Southeast Asia's tropical forests.

The head Seminole could not have received more timely news regarding his battle with cancer. Here's an update on his health, as well as a look back at 2003.
With one year under his belt, FSU President T.K. Wetherell admits the job can be a little overwhelming. No surprise the head guy says lack of higher ed funding was his biggest professional challenge in 2003, but personally Wetherell was dealt the biggest challenge of his life one month after being named president.
Making weekly visits to Jacksonville for prostate cancer treatments, the head Seminole tried to appear strong, but this week, T.K. learned he won't have to worry about "looking" healthy for 2004.
As for Wetherell's goals for 2004, the president hopes to increase graduate programs as well as snag a few extra dollars from the legislature, but the president admits a win over the Miami Hurricanes this fall is also high up on the list.

Rightist politicians slam government policy in wake of Hamas elections victory; Likud: Olmert and Kadima setting up Hamas terror state near Israel's population centers
Attila Somfalvi
Latest Update: 01.26.06, 11:40 / Israel News
Attila Somfalvi
"Olmert and Kadima are setting up a Hamas terror state that will be a branch of Iran, several kilometers away from Israel's population centers," the Likud charged in the wake of reports Hamas has won the Palestinian elections.
Acting Prime Minister Ehud Olmert "brought Hamas to Jerusalem," Knesset Defense and Foreign Affairs Committee Chairman Yuval Steinitz (Likud) charged.
"By caving in to international pressures, (Olmert) led Israel's fight against terrorism to a historic nadir," Steinitz said. "If Olmert continues this way, Iran's terror arms will threaten Jerusalem, central Israel, and Ben Gurion airport."
Meanwhile, Knesset Member Effie Eitam (National Union) said in "(Hamas leader) Mahmoud al-Zahar should send a large bouquet of flowers this morning to Ehud Olmert and the ministers of his government who preferred to give up on the war against terror."
According to former Defense Minister Binyamin Ben-Eliezer (Labor), "we will be ready to talk with anyone who acknowledges our right to live in peace and safety," referring to the possibility of eventual talks with Hamas.
Meanwhile, Labor Party Chairman Amir Peretz convened some of leading party members in order to discuss the developments in the Palestinian Authority and the election results.

The Miami Dolphins travel to Canton, Ohio this weekend to take on the Dallas Cowboys to kick off the pre-season schedule. The team has completed eleven practices so far during training camp, and I'm sure that it's time to see a different colored jersey on the other side of the line of scrimmage. There have been multiple positions changes where the Dolphins have improved the overall team speed and skill level heading into the season, and now is the opportunity to showcase it on both sides of the football.
Here are some of my thoughts heading into Sunday's game and what I've learned heading into the pre-season:
– Tannehill Looks Poised And Confident – The position of quarterback is arguably the toughest position to play in professional sports. It takes mental toughness and the ability to perform while under extreme pressure. So far, Ryan has looked like the leader you want directing this franchise. He has thrown the football with velocity and accuracy, and seems to have a complete command of the offensive scheme.
I'm not sure how much playing time he will get on Sunday night seeing that wide receivers Mike Wallace and Brian Hartline probably won't see any game action. I believe that Tannehill's meaningful preseason action will start next week against Jacksonville and escalate through game four against Tampa Bay. He looks ready physically right now for the regular season, and that's right where he needs to be.
– Defense Could Be Elite – One of the first things that you notice about this year's defense is their overall team speed, and their ability to get bodies around the football. The front seven has the chance to be dominant because they are big and physical up the middle, and athletic on the edge led by all pro defensive end Cameron Wake. Wake has a bigger frame this season, but hasn't lost his ability to find the quarterback. The combination of Olivier Vernon and rookie Dion Jordan will give opposing tackles fits, and take some of the attention away from number 91. New additions at linebacker (Dannell Ellerbe and Philip Wheeler) has given this unit the ability to rush the quarterback more efficiently than in the past, and adding corner back Brent Grimes has strengthened the secondary.
This group also now has the depth at defensive back to create different looks to opposing offenses. Cornerback Will Davis has led the charge getting takeaways in bunches over the last couple of practices, and Dimitri Patterson gives defensive coordinator Kevin Coyle options in nickel and dime coverage.
– Some Question Marks That Need To Be Decided – Depth on a football team is usually the difference between good teams and great teams. The Dolphins offense still has plenty of holes to fill at multiple positions for this team to reach its potential. Up front, it's imperative that the offensive line gets through the preseason healthy, already losing guard John Jerry for most of training camp.
Can Lance Louis or Josh Samuda step up to challenge to start in his absence? Will second-year offensive tackle Jonathan Martin take control of his opportunity on the left side, and play with more consistency as the preseason get underway? Who will emerge behind second year running back Lamar Miller and will someone separate from the pack at wide receiver to seize the fourth and fifth spot? Dustin Keller has shown the ability to get open down field and find the holes verses zone coverage, and Charles Clay and rookie Dion Sims give this position the flexibility that is needed. With that in mind, will this offense need both Jorvorskie Lane and Evan Rodriguez at fullback, or keep just one opening up another spot for tight end Kyle Miller?

"Blamo"! The new CF approved swear word.
Good luck. In a college town, they usually got you by the balls.

I don't know about that
when i lived in campustown, both years we requested things prior to signing the lease (specific parking spots/free parking/lower summer rent/etc), and the company went with it (different firm than yours)... it never hurts to try to negotiate anyway
I just about guarantee you they wont budge on the price. The likes of Jensen and Haverkamp are about as stubborn as they come...
