In other words, while going 70-80 mph down the highway, if you take your hands off the bars......the bike will start to drift to the right. Which means I'm constantly having to push forward on the left bar (with light pressure)....or pull back on the right bar....(i.e., counter steering) to keep the bike going straight.
I love this bike, but would really like to resolve this issue.
Does everyones Tiger do this? Is there a fix?
A pull to the right means the front wheel is too far to the right, and needs to move left in respect to the hub. Using 1/4 turns of the spoke wrench, loosen all the spokes on the "from" side, then tighten all the spokes on the "to" side. Test ride, and repeat if condition still exists. This may take a half dozen or more iterations to get right, but doing it in small steps mitigates the possibility of putting the wheel out of true.
Doing this fixed my "right pull" issue; the bike now tracks straight as an arrow on level ground with hands off bars.

ATLANTA (AP) -- The Atlanta Thrashers just can't seem to beat the
Philadelphia Flyers.
The Flyers beat the Thrashers for the eighth straight game with a 4-1 victory last night in Atlanta as Jeff Carter scored two goals within a span of 13 seconds in the second period.
The Flyers are 12-2-1 all-time at Atlanta and overall have won 23 of 30 games in the series, including two games this season.
The Thrashers led 1-0 on Ilya Kovalchuk's league-leading 35th goal midway through the opening period.
Carter scored at the end of a power play to give Philadelphia a 2-1 lead 13:42 into the second period. Then, at the 13:55 mark, Carter scored again on a wrister from the top of the right circle.
Scott Hartnell added the 100th goal of his career with one second left in the period for a 4-1 lead. Hartnell had two assists, including one to set up the Flyers' first goal, by Steve Downie, only 32 seconds into the second period.

WEBSITE OF THE DAY - About.Me
So the tree is decorated, the fridge and drinks cabinets are fully stocked and we've even worked out the order of the board games we'll be playing. The house is prepped, organised and tidy. The guest room is set up. I've read the Radio Times. Twice. (And there's still nothing on…)
Christmas is completely sorted. For the first time ever. That's probably because we haven't left the house for 5 days because of the snow - we've had nothing better to do than get things done. But now, I sit and I wait and I watch it snow some more and I start to get a bit bored. So bored, in fact, that I actually Google myself. Haven't done that in quite a while. (Results still very, very disappointing).
But now I have a new way to create an online buzz about myself (which is essentially what Google was invented for, wasn't it?).
At about.me I can gratuitously create an online profile for myself to track my online "pull". It'll report all kinds of things about how many people come to visit my page and how long they spend there staring at, well, at nothing.
There's nothing here apart from my name, and I'm not sure what else I can add to make my profile more attractive, so I can foresee this as yet another long-term disappointment.
But, I'm sure there are many people who can make something useful out of this. It's certainly very easy to set up. It's the making my page popular I might struggle with. But by adding it to email signatures and Twitter and Facebook, it will analyse your online footprint like never before.
(And if you're wondering how we got the fridge and drinks cabinet stocked, despite being snowed in, it's all down to Tesco and their intrepid delivery driver. He's our hero!)

Snacks for Every Day
1. Siggi's Skyr 100 calories, 14 g protein, 7-9g sugar If you're a fan of Greek yogurt, get ready to meet Skyr, its thicker and creamier Icelandic cousin. The best part is that Skyr is naturally and traditionally made with skim milk (i.e. it's always fat-free). All their flavors are fantastic, but my favorite has to be pomegranate and passion fruit, or grapefruit (sprinkled with a bit of brown sugar, if I'm feeling indulgent).
2. Cal-organic/Grimmway Carrot Dippers 110 calories, 1g protein, 4g sugar, 60% DV vitamin A Baby carrots — a classic healthy snack food — combined with a handy dandy single serving of low-fat ranch dressing make this one of my favorite prepackaged snacks. Anything that makes fresh fruits and veggies easy to throw in a backpack — I'm game.
3. Clif Kid Z Bar Chocolate Brownie 120 cal, 11g sugar, 3g protein, 3g fiber, 35% DV vitamin C, 30% DV vitamin B1 and folate, 20% DV vitamin B6 Okay, okay. You caught us. Kids' Clif bars might be even better than the "adult" versions. Reason number one? Smaller portions means it's easier to justify a whole bar as a mid-day snack (versus other options which can serve better as meal replacements!). Plus, the Chocolate Brownie bar has a little protein and fiber to keep us full for a few hours, but without too much sugar or too many calories.
4. SmartPop! Kettle Korn Mini Bags 100 calories, 4g protein Throw an un-popped envelope of this kettle korn in that computer bag in the morning or pop ahead of time and store in a plastic zip-top bag. With just a hint of sweet n' salty, these 100-calorie bags are a perfect snack to last a while (1 bag contains a few cups of popped corn) with few calories.
5. KIND Mini Cranberry Almond + Antioxidants 115 calories, 7g sugar, 2g protein, 30% DV vitamins A, C, E These are a staple at Greatist HQ. The mini-sized KIND bars are perfect for a small midmorning snack. Plus, the enhanced bars have added goodies such as vitamins, A, C, and E.
6. Luna Mini S'mores 70 calories, 5g sugar, 4g protein, 15% DV calcium, and vitamins B2 and B3, 30% DV vitamin B6, 40%DV folate We're huge fans of Luna bars, but the regular size can be a tad large for a snack. The minis on the other hand? Perfection! They're big enough to hold us offer for an hour until lunch time, but small enough that two can serve as a pretty substantial snack.
7. Kashi Honey Almond Flax Chewy Granola Bar 140 calories, 5g sugar, 7g protein, 15% DV fiber Whole grains, roasted nuts, dried fruit, and honey come together in this chewy bar that completely trumps the other classic chewy bars on the market. Why, you ask? This one's much lower in sugar, and offers a good amount of protein and fiber, too.
8. Blue Diamond 100-Calorie Almond Packs 100 calories, 3-4g protein, 1-3g sugar, 20% DV vitamin E These perfectly portioned almond snack packs are a great way to fill that craving for roasted nuts without downing the whole bag (guilty as charged). They come in both sweet (Cinnamon Brown Sugar or Dark Chocolate) and savory (Wasabi Soy Sauce, Sea Salt, and Lightly Salted), as well as au natural. Perfect to keep on hand for when hunger strikes.
9. Terra Mediterranean Chips 140 calories, 3g sugar, 16% DVfiber Chips, and a serving of vegetables… at the same time? This snack is certainly a mixed bag. Sweet potato, parsnip, taro, yucca, and batata (bata-who?) make up this blend, flavored with garlic, oregano, and olive oil. These make the perfect sophisticated savory snack and are a great substitute for that classic potato chip craving.
10. Trader Joes Oats and Flax Oatmeal 150 calories, 4g protein, 11g sugar, 12% DV fiber When it's rainy or there's a chill in the air, few things are better than a warm bowl of oatmeal mid-morning to fill up that belly. Try this version for an extra serving of flax (oh hey, omega 3s!).
11. Quaker Quakes Chocolate 120 calories, 7g sugar, 2g protein
Stop. Rice cakes are no longer that cardboard-flavored (and textured) "diet food" that have been dreaded for years. These little guys come in a bunch of flavors (sweet and savory!), but the combo of low calories and sugar, and a little punch of protein, makes the chocolate flavor the best bang for your buck.
12. StarKist Ready-Made Albacore Tuna Salad Packet 90 calories, 10g protein Three words: Protein, protein, protein. With just 90 calories and a whole 10 grams of protein, chowing down on this premade classic tuna salad will certainty stop the hunger pangs until dinner time. Pair with some whole grain crackers or stalks of celery to get a little fancy.
13. Everybody's Nuts Salt and Pepper Pistachios 130 calories, 5g protein, 1g sugar News flash: Pistachios are one of the healthiest nuts out there, they even made it on our superfood list. The nutritional highlights here are protein and fiber, and (surprisingly) potassium.
14. Del Monte Fruit Naturals No Sugar Added Red Grapefruit 80 calories, 12g sugar, 100% DV vitamin Okay, so nothing will beat the whole natural grapefruit, split in half, sectioned, and sprinkled with a little sugar. But who wants to carry around a giant orb of citrus, let alone try to section it off while on-the-go? These little all-natural cups make it way easier to enjoy. The fruit slices are kept in a no-sugar-added juice to keep 'em fresh (and its delicious to drink when the fruit's all gone!)
15. Crunchmaster Multi-Grain Crackers with Sea Salt 140 calories, 3g protein, 12% DV fiber These crunchy delights are packed with healthy grains like sesame seeds, quinoa, amaranth, and flax seeds. Baked, not fried, they're lower in fat than similar crunch-filled options. Plus, they're gluten-free!
16. Rabbits Squeaky Cheeky Choco Cherry Bunny Bar 120 calories, 3g protein, 8g sugar, 8% DV fiber How, oh how, can we not love something with such an adorable name? This bar is a winner, stuffed full of 18 Rabbits granola featuring sunflower, pumpkin, and chia seeds, and dried cherries (one of our favorite summer superfoods).
17. Stretch Island Fruit Co. Fruit Strips 45 calories, 9g sugar (in Mango, Cherry, Strawberry, and Raspberry flavors) When carrying around fresh fruit isn't an option, these fruit leathers are a great and easy way to satisfy those sugar cravings. Store them in the freezer to make this sweet snack last a little longer.
18. Chobani Yogurt Cups 100-120 calories, 13 g sugar, 8-16 g protein, 10-20% DV calcium We can't get enough of these Greek yogurt cups. Whether it's the "adult-sized" 6oz. cups or the kid's cups (called Chobani Champions), Chobani is often found in the Greatist refrigerator any time of the year. Our favorite options for a high-protein portable snack without too much sugar? The classic vanilla cup or the Honey-Nanna Chobani Champions cup (each containing 13g of sugar).
19. Pirates Booty Aged White Cheddar 130 calories, 2g protein This puffed rice and corn snack is flavored with real white cheddar cheese (yumm) and baked (possibly by pirates) to crispy perfection. While the best part is probably the name (and adorable packaging), it also earns extra cool points for being gluten-free and trans fat-free. Arrrrrgh!
20. Polly-O 2% String Cheese 70 calories, 8g protein, 15% DV calcium Flashback to school lunchbox land with this handy dandy snack. They're super portable and provide a perfect snack-sized dose of protein to stave off hunger a bit longer. Plus, they're fun to eat. Just don't let your boss see you eating it like a five year old…
21. Sweet Potato Pop Chips 100 calories, 1 g protein, 2 g sugar Pop chips are a great option when craving something crunchy and salty to replace the classic potato chips or flavored pretzels. A whole bag is just 100 calories, and they're air popped instead of fried or baked.
22. Mediterranean Snacks Baked Roasted Red Pepper Lentil Chips 110 calories, 2g sugar, 4g protein, 15% DV vitamin C Ladies and gents, they've finally done it: Chips made out of lentils. And they're actually delicious! The base is made from lentils, garbanzo beams, and adzuki beans, which is what adds the protein to this snack. For a larger snack (and when not confined to the driver's seat or desk chair), try dipping in hummus or eating with fresh olive tapenade.
23. Bare Fruit Cinnamon Apple Chips 29 calories, 4g sugar Two ingredients: Organic apples, organic cinnamon. This combo makes for a great snacking option anywhere, anytime. Also give one of Bare Fruit's other options a try — the chips come in Granny Smith, Fiji Apple, Pear, Cherry, and Mango varieties, too.
24. Trader Joes Dried String Beans 130 calories, 2g protein, 5g sugar, 15% DV vitamin A Yes, it sounds strange. But somehow, some way, Trader Joes discovered the secret to a really, really good dried green bean — and this snack is proof. There's a hint of sweetness from the vegetable's natural flavor, but it balances well with the light saltiness and seriously awesome crunch.
25. Genisoy Rich Cheddar Cheese Soy Crisps 130 calories, 5g protein, 1g sugar Kind of like a cross between a classic chip and a mini rice cake, these soy crisps are a great alternative to classic crunchy snacks. Plus, the five grams of protein will help keep you full.
26. Laughing Cow Mini Babybel Light 50 calories, 6g protein, 20% DV calcium The most redeeming quality of these miniature cheese wheels is that they're so dang cute! (Many people have figured out to make them even cuter.) But they are also a great source of protein and calcium, and are super easy to carry as an easy healthy snack (especially when paired with a small apple or a few whole grain crackers).
27. Breakstone's Pineapple Cottage Cheese Doubles 130 calories, 11g protein, 14g sugar, 15% DV calcium Yes, cottage cheese is one of those classic "diet foods" that everyone loves to hate. But no, it doesn't have to taste like diet food to be considered healthy! While purists might be happier with a plain single-serve cottage cheese cup, for those that want a little added flavor, these cottage cheese doubles pair classic cottage cheese with yummy fruit sides (our favorite is pineapple). Perfect mid-day snack material right here!
28. Low-Fat Fig Newmans 110 calories, 2g protein, 12g sugar A somewhat healthier version of the classic Fig Newton (the ingredient list is about half as long, and you get one extra gram of protein per serving), these little bars are a great option for a sweet snack that won't break the calorie or sugar banks.
29. Lesser Evil Veggie Krinkle Sticks 120 calories, 2g protein, 11% DV vitamin C Made from four types of vegetables and seven whole grains, these crunchy treats are a great (and fun) snack for both adults or kids. Not in the mood for veggies? The Krinkle sticks also come in other flavors including cheddar, sour cream and onion, and sea salt (and these three are gluten-free).
30. Fiber One Oats and Peanut Butter Bar 140 calories, 9g sugar, 3g protein, 35% DV fiber It's not just the digestive system that can thank fiber for proper functioning; it's the heart, too! These bars are packed with fiber, and also satisfy a peanut butter craving. This is a great substitute for a candy bar when those pangs hit
31. Low-Fat Fudgesicle Pop 60 calories, 9g sugar, 10% DV calcium Fudgesicles. Because, well, who doesn't need a classic creamy, cold, chocolate treat every once in a while? (Especially in August!) Even better that it's on a stick.

Air France-KLM's MRO division boosted turnover nearly 4.7% to €3.28 billion ($4.49 billion) in 2013, driven by a 12% rise in third-party revenue.
The share of business accounted for external customers climbed to 37%.
Adjusted for exchange-rate effects – which had a negative impact on Air France-KLM's 2013 business – third-party maintenance sales grew just over 15%, the group says.
Air France Industries KLM Engineering & Maintenance's operating profit rose 19% to €159 million. Operating margin increased 0.3 percentage points.
The higher profitability was partly due to benefits from the group's "Transform" cost-cutting programme, says Air France-KLM.
In the last quarter of 2013, operating profit increased a third to €48 million. However, third-party MRO revenues declined 5.7% to €298 million.
Air France-KLM's maintenance expenses for its own fleet rose around 15% to €1.3 billion.

PITY the most famous feline in physics, Schrödinger's cat. Sealed in a box with a vial of poison, the unfortunate animal faces an uncertain future. No one knows if it is alive or dead - killed by a quantum event that causes toxic fumes to spew from the shattered vial. It is only when we open the box that we discover the cat's condition.
Thankfully Schrödinger's cat is all in the mind, a bizarre thought experiment proposed by Austrian physicist Erwin Schrödinger in 1935 to highlight the weirdness of quantum theory. Quantum mechanics says that while the cat remains unobserved in the box, it is simultaneously both dead and alive. It is the act of looking inside the box that determines its fate. But imagine you opened the box and found Schrödinger's cat lying with its eyes shut. Is it dead, or just sleeping?
This may sound like a scene ...

Bernie Madoff never told his wife, Ruth, or his two sons, Andrew Madoff and Mark Madoff, that he was running a $65 billion Ponzi scheme that destroyed the financial lives of thousands of people and resulted in the suicide of his first-born son, says Diana B. Henriques, the first reporter to interview Bernie Madoff in prison. Henriques, who wrote The Wizard of Lies, an analysis of the Madoff case, says it's time once and for all to believe the family's emphatic denials.
"Ask any dumped spouse: Every family has secrets," Henriques told The Fiscal Times. "There are tons of examples of people who have kept remarkable secrets from their nearest and dearest, out of shame, out of embarrassment, out of conventionality. This was a guy who was staring down the barrel of a prison sentence. He had every reason in the world to keep [his financial scam] a secret. And who would be easier to fool than the people who trusted you most?"
Ruth Madoff and her surviving son Andrew are telling their side of the story through a new book, which they promoted on "60 Minutes" last Sunday. The book contains detailed interviews with family members. Bernie Madoff himself did a recent high-profile interview with Barbara Walters, all of which has reignited public interest – and anger – in the case.
Madoff, 73, a former chairman of Nasdaq, is serving a 150-year prison term after pleading guilty to securities fraud in 2009. He has always maintained that his wife and sons were completely in the dark about the fraud that wiped out the life savings of thousands of investors – the largest Ponzi scheme in history.
Still, Henriques – who for years has maintained contact with Madoff through letters, emails and phone calls – says she can't believe the continued public fascination with "this soap opera."
The Fiscal Times (TFT): So why do we care so much, even in the fall of 2011 – what's at work here?
Diana B. Henriques (DBH): The family has finally entered the conversation. I tried repeatedly to get on-the-record interviews with the Madoff family for my book and struck out every time. Madoff himself has been driving the narrative. He's been giving interviews; he's been opining about this and chatting with Barbara Walters about it – so he's been out there.
TFT: The family has been kept under wraps until now, you believe.
DBH: Yes, from the beginning, by their lawyer, and then by their own estrangements. These are people about whom the public had become increasingly curious, people they knew next to nothing about – and finally they're speaking up. So it's the novelty of that.
TFT: You've said from the beginning that you believed Ruth and the Madoff sons were innocent and did not know about the Ponzi scheme – that they were taken by surprise by it as much as anybody else was. Why do you believe that?
DBH: When her husband confessed in [the family's] study [in December 2008], 'I'm running a Ponzi scheme,' Ruth's stunned reaction was, 'What's a Ponzi scheme?' According to her son, Andrew, neither Andrew nor Mark ever believed their mother knew anything about it. It's inconceivable that Madoff would have relied on them. The emotional logic did not make sense to me from the beginning. The circumstantial evidence never added up to guilty knowledge on their part. And what we've learned both about their personalities and about their memories of those days bears that out. They did not learn about this fraud until Bernie Madoff told them about it.
TFT: So you find their new denials completely credible?
DBH: They're facing a very difficult task: The public expects them to prove a negative – prove you didn't know then something that you do know now. Not one of us could do that! It's not even possible to measure the truthfulness of a statement like that on a polygraph. So, I don't know that they'll ever win the public's agreement with that. But certainly it's not so much that their denials are credible – it's that there still isn't any evidence that they knew.
TFT: So at some point you want to say to the skeptics –
DBH: I want to say, If you think they're guilty, prove it.
TFT: What surprised you the most when you first met Madoff?
DBH: I've covered other Ponzi schemers in my career, and typically they're very charismatic – the most charming person in the room. Madoff was not. He's very calm, very quiet. He makes you feel like you're the most charming person. And since you're so bright and wonderful, why would you ever doubt your wisdom in trusting him?
TFT: Yet even when people were suspicious about the returns they were seeing on their investments, time and again he was able to reassure them. How?
foolish thing, I lost all your
money,' Madoff bought their
investments back at the price
they'd paid. That was in 1962."
DBH: He had a gift for inspiring confidence. It served him well in his legitimate business, I must say. It's what made him a trusted advisor to the SEC for many years; it's what gave him stature in industry circles and organizations.
TFT: You say in your book that he first turned to deceit as far back as 1962.

Since youre this far into it anyway, you might want to consider
replacing the OEM fork boots, if you havent already. Theyre
not known for long life, and are important for fork protection. Consider
Daystar #58 boots, which are available in a number of colors. www.arrowheadmotorsports.com
or Email Fred Hink at: email@example.com
a 2001 KLR650 (A15), the recommended levels and specifications are:
As stated by the manual: The operation of an air front fork is especially
dependent upon correct oil level. Higher level than specified may cause
oil leakage and seal breakage. Be sure to maintain the specified level.
Refilling Suggestions:
a measuring cup that reads in milliliters, fill it to the specified
amount and dump it into the fork tube. (Drain plug installed, spring
out, fork compressed.) Measure to be sure youre at the right level.
the pump and plastic tube from any spray bottle. Clean it for use by
sticking the tube into a container of fork oil and pump the sprayer
until clean, uncontaminated oil is coming out. Cut the tube to the length
you want; for example, 190mm, (19cm.) Fill the fork tube with fork oil,
(Drain plug installed, spring out, fork compressed), put the plastic
tube into the center of the fork and pump until no more oil comes out.
Be sure the plastic tube is perfectly straight, otherwise
your measurement will be off!
a small dowel with a zip-tie on it at about 250mm, (25cm), from the
end, and a notch 190mm, (19cm), down from the zip-tie. Stick the dowel
into the fork until the zip-tie touches the top of the tube, the notch
is the Full mark.
NOTE: To
avoid displacement of the oil, and an inaccurate measurement, this should
be a VERY small diameter dowel, or perhaps better yet, a thin-walled
pipe such as conduit. I use this method with 1/4" conduit.

"The key tenet in any business is 'Know thy customer,' and in this case, the customer is the community."
Most people gush about him. When asked which Beavers owner is the best in recent memory, Maury Brown, local sports pundit and president of the Business of Sports Network, answers immediately: "Merritt Paulson."
Paulson has a knack for getting what he wants. He persuaded the city to spend $1 million to install a better artificial surface at PGE Park, and in August 2007, four months after acquiring his new job, he held a press conference with Mayor Potter and PCL president Rickey at which he announced that Portland would host the 2009 Triple-A All-Star Game. A Cricket Wireless sign on the outfield wall counts down to game day on July 15, 2009.
Which is not to say that Paulson didn't have anything to learn about his new home. Hoping to eliminate the confusion that often arises between the Triple-A team and the OSU Beaver—who, as everyone in the Beaver State knows, won the College World Series in both 2006 and 2007—Paulson considered changing his team's name. The Beavers' website offered a selection of potential new names for fans to vote on, including the Wet Sox, the Green Sox, the Thorns (for the Rose City), and the eventual second-place winner, the Sockeyes. Paulson even walked through the stadium, asking fans if they'd consider another name for the team, and the fans overwhelmingly chose … the Beavers.
The lesson? "You can never know a city through due diligence alone," he says. "It's funny—for such a progressive city, there's a resistance to change. I understand that."
ALREADY, Paulson is talking about moving the Beavers. Not to another town, but perhaps across town, to Lents Park at SE 92nd Avenue and Holgate Boulevard. The idea on the table is to build a stadium dedicated to Triple-A baseball alone. PGE Park, it turns out, poses problems as the Beavers' sole venue: At 19,600 seats, it's too darn big for Triple-A baseball, which attracts only 10,000 or so on a very good night. "You need an intimate, baseball-specific stadium," Paulson says. And while it's a point of civic pride that PGE Park is located near downtown, right on the MAX line, there's also a dearth of parking in the surrounding neighborhood, which is inconvenient for many of the Beavers spectators who come from Washington County (roughly 20 percent), those from Clackamas County (25 percent), and those who travel here from Vancouver, Washington, and beyond.
Plus, Paulson is the sort who can't help but envision ways his company could do things bigger and better. You know, major league.
Though in this case, the major league ambitions he has don't pertain to baseball—to the chagrin of some sports fans. "You need to have a pretty successful Triple-A franchise to attract Major League Baseball," Paulson says. "I often start out talks asking how many of you would like to have Major League Baseball in Portland. People put up their hands. And then I ask how many are season-ticket holders to the Beavers, and the hands go down."
There's also the fact that Major League Soccer (MLS) has come a-calling. MLS Commissioner Don Garber has visited not just once, but three times, and he's been wowed by the rabid, painted, screaming, joyful, and often drunken soccer cheering-section that is the Timbers Army, a distinctly Portland phenomenon that didn't spring from the mind of some marketing guru but rose up organically from the city's soccer fans themselves. During the opening Timbers game of the season, nearly 11,000 people came out to watch the team play the Puerto Rico Islanders, and to say so long to Jim Serrill, aka Timber Jim, who had finally grown weary of rappelling from the roof with a buzzing chain saw and slicing the ends off of large logs. True, the Timbers play only about 18 home games each year to the Beavers' 72, but the Timbers outdraw the Beavers in average attendance per game.
Numbers like that impress Major League Soccer, which has named Portland as one of nine cities that might be ripe for an expansion team come 2011. But as MLS examines the most likely markets for new soccer teams and assesses each city's enthusiasm for the idea (read: willingness to put up the dollars needed to support a major league franchise), the organization also has made it clear that PGE Park would need to be retrofitted for soccer games. It wants seats along each of the sidelines. That wraparound, baseball-friendly configuration just won't do. Meaning the Beavers would have to go.

Add the carrot, the raisins, and the zest and combine the mixture well.
Stir in the flour mixture alternately with the orange juice in 2 batches and stir the batter until it is combined well.
Divide the batter between 2 buttered and floured 8-inch round cake pans, spreading it evenly, and bake the layers in the middle of a preheated 350° F.oven for 40 to 45 minutes, or until a tester comes out clean and the edges begin to pull away from the sides of the pans.
Let the layers cool in the pans for 20 minutes, invert them onto racks, and let them cool completely.
The cake layers may be made 1 day in advance and kept, wrapped well, at room temperature.

Beat the frosting until it is light and fluffy.
Invert one of the cake layers onto a plate, spread one third of the frosting on top, and top it with the second layer.
Spread three fourths of the remaining frosting on the side of the cake decoratively and reserve the remaining frosting in a pastry bag fitted with a star tip.
Put a paper doily on top of the cake and sift the confectioners' sugar over it.
Remove the doily carefully.
Pipe the reserved frosting around the edge of the cake.

preGame 51: Interview with Ed Boon; Outland demo
On today's preGame we'll interview the co-creator of Mortal Kombat, Ed Boon. Then we'll dish out some of the week's gaming news followed up by a demo of the XBLA game Outland.
On today's preGame we'll interview Mr. Mortal Kombat himself, the co-creator of the entire franchise, Ed Boon. It's been a few weeks since the latest iteration of Mortal Kombat hit store shelves, and we'll ask Mr. Boon all about the game as well as the series' history.
But first we'll run down the hottest gaming news of the week including word that a new Alan Wake game will be hitting the Xbox 360, hopefully this year.
We'll also discuss what Microsoft buying Skype means for Xbox 360 owners and then run through a new site that catalogs game time completion statistics.
Finally, Jeff will play through a demo of the Xbox Live Arcade game Outland. This gorgeous 2D platformer reminds us of the good old days of Metroid and Castlevania, but adds in some next-generation bells and whistles.

The American College of Physicians, CECity and Pfizer on Wednesday announced a new initiative designed to increase adult immunization rates.
One thing remains unchanged about our nurse practitioner and physician assistant readers: Retail clinicians tend to love their jobs.
A new study by researchers at CVS Caremark, Aetna and Brigham and Women's Hospital finds that eliminating co-pays for preventive medications prescribed for post-heart attack patients can significantly improve medication adherence and health outcomes for non-white patients, which suggests that this approach may be an effective strategy for reducing commonly recognized disparities in cardiovascular care related to patient ethnicity and race.
McKesson Specialty Health, a division of McKesson Corp., last week announced the integration of its distribution services with General Medical Services' Physician Office Drug Inventory System.
McKesson Specialty Health has announced the integration of its distribution services with General Medical Services' Physician Office Drug Inventory System, an alliance that creates the first end-to-end integrated inventory and order-to-reimbursement verification solution designed specifically for ophthalmologists.
Stayhealthy has announced the completion of its deployment of 765 Stayhealthy HealthCenter Kiosks throughout Albertson's LLC and New Albertson's Inc.
Access to good and affordable health care is the No. 1 concern of Americans today, trumping national security, national debt, improving the quality of education, gun violence and protecting privacy rights, according to a survey recently conducted for the National Commission on Certification of Physician Assistants.
Rite Aid on Tuesday announced it has acquired Boston-based Health Dialog Services Corp., a provider of health coaching, shared decision making and healthcare analytics from Bupa, a London-based international healthcare services group.
Sales of specialty medicines are shifting toward hospitals and specialty pharmacies and away from independent physician owned-and-operated clinics, according to a report released Tuesday by HDMA's non-profit research foundation, The Center for Healthcare Supply Chain Research.
VR1 on Tuesday announced the availability of Ausanil, a new non-prescription homeopathic nasal spray formulated to provide rapid pain relief from severe headaches and migraines with no reported systemic side effects or adverse drug-drug interactions.
NeoStrata has announced the introduction of its new Skin Active Triple Firming Neck Cream, which is available exclusively through physician offices.
Even as millions of Americans gain access to insurance coverage under the Affordable Care Act, there are an estimated 62 million people who remain without access to a primary heath care physician, according to a report by the National Association of Community Health Centers.
Wellness empowerment. Even before Rite Aid's big announcement last week, officially unveiling its newest program, the Rite Aid Health Alliance, those two words more or less reflected every major initiative happening at the company over the last few years: the Wellness stores; its Wellness+, Rite Aid's health-based loyalty program; the Wellness Ambassadors in its stores… It's always been about engaging patients in wellness, and empowering them to take steps to improve their health and well being. The Rite Aid Health Alliance takes that commitment down to the "atomic level of patient engagement," Rite Aid chairman and CEO said last week, at a live event at one of its Buffalo stores.
Through the program, Rite Aid pharmacists together with a new patient care position in Rite Aid stores, the Care Coach, work directly with patients with chronic conditions and poly-chronic conditions to help them meet specific health improvement goals, as outlined by the patient's physician. Care coaches, who are specially trained in behavior change to help patients address health issues related to lifestyle, work with patients to take their physicians' recommendations and "break them down into sizeable, understandable milestones," Jocelyn Konrad, VP healthcare initiatives for Rite Aid, told DSN. Rite Aid's Health Alliance stores can "become an extension of the physician's office," she said. "It's going to be a different experience for the patient. Whatever [they] need to understand and be motivated, we will work to provide it."
More Americans are more often seeking their ounce of prevention. According to Bain & Co.'s recent Healthy Living Survey, 75% of consumers are in pursuit of a healthier lifestyle. Take that predominant mindset, coupled with the outcomes-driven preventive focus associated with the Affordable Care Act, and you have a formula for OTC success at retail pharmacy.
Rite Aid introduced a new program, dubbed Rite Aid Health Alliance, which is a health management collaboration among various healthcare providers that provides comprehensive care and support to individuals with chronic and poly-chronic health conditions, and helps them achieve health improvement goals established by their physicians.
CVS Caremark's MinuteClinic and Main Line Health have signed a clinical collaboration to enhance access to high-quality healthcare services at MinuteClinic locations in southeastern Pennsylvania.
Cardinal Health Specialty Solutions on Monday announced the acquisition of privately held Sonexus Health, a Dallas-based company that offers a range of patient access and specialty commercialization services.
Concurrent opioid prescribing by multiple providers is common in Medicare patients and is associated with higher rates of hospital admission related to opioid use, according to a study published last week in BMJ.
CVS Caremark's MinuteClinic has announced that it is switching from its own proprietary electronic medical record solution to Epic's EpicCare system.
New research conducted by CVS Caremark and Brigham and Women's Hospital identifies five key features of Value-Based Insurance Design plans that are associated with the greatest impact on medication adherence.
Forging ahead on its longer-term goal of creating a national platform to support primary care, CVS Caremark plans to open up at least 150 new MinuteClinic locations this year and is now testing telehealth at more than two-dozen sites.
AliveCor announced that the Food and Drug Administration has granted the company over-the-counter clearance for the AliveCor Heart Monitor, a single-channel ECG (electrocardiogram) recorder, previously available by prescription only.
Price Chopper, QuickCare and Ellis Medicine have teamed up to open QuickCare walk-in clinics in Price Chopper stores in Latham, N.Y. and Malta, N.Y.
Selecting a doctor can be a frustrating process filled with too many unknowns, especially in today's evolving landscape.
In support of American Heart Month, Walgreens is offering free blood-pressure testing at all of its pharmacies and Healthcare Clinics throughout the month of February, the retailer announced Monday.

Norfolk Constabulary: Our Priority is You
Call us on: 101 In an emergency always dial 999
Site Map |
FAQs |
Help |
Police sometimes have to stop people and ask them to account for
their actions or their presence in an area. This is referred to as
Stop and
Police also may need to carry out a search of that individual's
clothing or property. This is referred to as Stop and Search.
Both these powers are used by police in order to detect and
prevent crime and keep our communities safer.
We want to be open, honest and accountable, and so a record is
always issued to the person involved explaining why a stop or a
search was carried out.
This section aims to help you understand stop and search
procedures, the type of behaviour you should expect from the police
and in return, what the police expect from you.
Who can stop you?
A police community support officer must be in uniform. A police
officer does not have to be in uniform, but if they are not wearing
uniform they must show you their identity (warrant) card.
You should not be stopped or searched just because of:
If you believe this is why you were stopped or searched, you can
What is a stop?
A 'stop' is when a police officer or police community support
officer stops you and asks you to account for yourself. That is, if
they ask you to tell them:
The officer must fill in a form saying why you were stopped and
give you a copy.
Not every time a police officer or police community support
officer talks to you will count as a stop. For example, if the
This does not count as a stop and the officer
would not normally fill in a form. But even in this case if you
want to you can ask for a form and the officer must fill one out
and give it to you.
Your right to a form
If you are stopped or searched the officer must fill in a form
and give it to you straightaway unless, for example, they are
called away to an emergency. In this case you can get a copy from a
police station anytime within 12 months.
The officer must write down:
The police will ask you for your name, address and date of
birth. You do not have to give this information if
you do not want to, unless the police say they are reporting you
for an offence. If this is the case you could be arrested if you
don't tell them.
You will also be asked to say what your ethnic background is
from a list of the national census
categories which the officer will show to you. You do
not have to say what it is if you don't want to. But this
information is used to show if the police are stopping or searching
people just because of their race or ethnicity.
How can I complain?
The police should treat you fairly and with
respect. If you are unhappy with how you were
treated, you can complain. If you feel you were treated differently
because of your race, age, sexuality, gender, disability, religion
or faith, you can complain of unlawful discrimination.
It will help if you keep the form that the police gave you.
You can get advice from, or complain to:
If you have difficulty understanding English, or if you are
deaf, then the police must take reasonable steps to ensure that you
understand your rights.
National Census categories
Asian or Asian British
Black or Black British
Chinese or other ethnic group

Units: 12
This is a course exploring research issues in mobile computing and its close relative, pervasive computing. Many traditional areas of computer science and computer engineering are impacted by the constraints and demands of mobile and pervasive computing. The course will offer significant hands-on experience: students will work in small groups under the guidance of a mentor on a project. Each student will also be required to write one of two documents based on an idea in mobile and pervasive computing: (a) a research proposal (similar in spirit to an NSF proposal) or (b) a research paper for publication.
Grading will be based on the quality of the project, the proposal or paper, in-class quizzes on the readings, class participation, and final exam.

Writers are still striking NBC here, so Jay Leno, unlike union man Dave Letterman in New York, has to write his own material and book guests who write as well.
In this recent Tonight Show bit, an actual priest, an actual rabbi, and an actual minister tell 'priest, rabbi and minister' jokes.
The rabbi is Levi Cunin of Chabad in Malibu, who we last featured during the Malibu fires, when he packed a Torah scroll in the back of his car in case they had to evacuate.
* Update: NBC got this video yanked from YouTube because of copyright issues.
The jokes are an interesting contrast.
Only the priest tells a joke on himself; Rabbi Cunin tells a 'Jews are smart' joke and makes the priest in his story sound all Kosher for Passover; the minister's joke is vaguely sexist.
They are LOL material, though!

Which Medical Drama Has the Hottest Cast? (POLL)

At least the MDs on televison sport some serious sex appeal. But which medical drama's smokin' cast causes the most heart palpitations? Sound off in the poll below!

Questions and Answers – ITB Therapy
How does the Medtronic SynchroMed® Programmable Drug Infusion System pump work?
The SynchroMed Drug Infusion System includes a programmable pump and catheter that are surgically placed under the skin of the abdomen. The system delivers a liquid form of the drug baclofen (Lioresal® Intrathecal) directly to the fluid around the spinal cord.
Most people report that the programmable pump is not uncomfortable or restrictive, and does not interfere with their movement. Depending on your body type and the clothes you choose, it may not show at all.
If oral baclofen didn't work for me, why would intrathecal baclofen work?
Because the drug is delivered directly to where its needed in the spinal fluid, it relieves spasticity with smaller amounts of medication than when baclofen is taken orally. This method of delivery may help minimize some of the possible side effects that may accompany oral baclofen.
Mary Elizabeth Nelson, a nurse practitioner with 8 years of working with patients who have baclofen pumps, describes the difference between oral baclofen and intrathecal baclofen.
Will ITB TherapySM cure my spasticity?
While Medtronic ITB Therapy (the baclofen pump) won't eliminate the primary source of your condition or cure your disease, it may help you manage your severe spasticity symptoms and might allow you to participate in daily activities that have become difficult or impossible.
Am I a candidate for ITB Therapy?
Candidates for Medtronic ITB Therapy (the baclofen pump) must:
- Have severe spasticity that interferes with function, care and comfort, or activities of daily living
- Show a positive response to Lioresal® Intrathecal (baclofen injection) in a standard screening test
- Have sufficient body size to support the pump; the pump must be implanted 2.5 cm (1 inch) or less from the surface of the skin
- Not have any infection
- Not be allergic to baclofen
- For spasticity of spinal cord origin, be unresponsive to oral baclofen therapy or experience intolerable side effects at effective doses
- For spasticity due to traumatic brain injury, wait one year after the injury
In addition, healthcare professionals may use the following criteria to determine if you are a candidate for ITB Therapy:
- Severe spasticity or spasms that interfere with function or daily activities
- Severe spasticity or spasms that interfere with care or positioning
Can I talk with someone who already receives ITB Therapy about their experience with the procedure and the therapy?
The ITB Therapy Ambassador Program can connect you with a patient volunteer who receives ITB Therapy and is available to share his or her experience with you.
Why should I choose a Medtronic device over another option?
When choosing a device to manage your severe spasticity symptoms, look to a healthcare company that understands your condition and has extensive experience offering safe and effective therapies.
Here are some important facts for you to consider:
- Medtronic has more intrathecal therapy experience than any other company
- Medtronic ITB Therapy is the only intrathecal therapy backed by 20 years of severe spasticity management experience
- Explore the proven benefits of Medtronic ITB Therapy
- More than 60,000 Medtronic SynchroMed® pumps have been implanted worldwide for Medtronic ITB Therapy
- For more than 15 years Medtronic has collaborated with numerous advocacy groups to help raise awareness of spasticity and the conditions that can cause it
- Medtronic is the only company to track product performance, including more than 17,000 neurological devices and more than 6,100 patients
- Your Medtronic infusion system can be programmed and refilled in clinics across the United States and around the world
The Medtronic baclofen pump is part of the Synchromed® Infusion System, which delivers the drug called Lioresal® Intrathecal (baclofen injection) for ITB TherapySM, a treatment for severe spasticity. Please read the following important safety information about ITB Therapy.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION FOR ITB THERAPY (Intrathecal Baclofen Therapy)
Please follow your doctor's instruction closely because a sudden stop of intrathecal baclofen therapy can result in serious baclofen withdrawal symptoms such as high fever, changed mental status, muscle stiffness, and in rare cases may result in loss of function of many vital organs and death. It is very important that your doctor be called right away if you experience any of the above symptoms.
It is important for you to keep your scheduled refill visits so you don't run out of medication (baclofen) and to know the early symptoms of baclofen withdrawal. Some patients are at more risk than others for baclofen withdrawal; speak with your doctor about this.
People who suffer from severe spasticity resulting from cerebral palsy, multiple sclerosis, stroke, brain injury, or spinal cord injury may be candidates for ITB Therapy. If you have spasticity due to spinal cord injury or multiple sclerosis, you may be considered for ITB Therapy if oral baclofen has not controlled your spasticity or has resulted in serious side effects that you cannot accept. If you suffered a brain injury due to trauma you must wait until one year after the injury to be considered for ITB Therapy. A trial of ITB Therapy will help to show if ITB Therapy can help you. You should not receive ITB Therapy if you have an infection, are allergic to baclofen, or your body size is too small for the implantable pump.
The implanted pump and catheter (tube that delivers the drug from the pump to the fluid around the spinal cord) are placed under the skin during a surgery. Some complications that you may experience with the surgery include infection, meningitis (infection of the lining of the brain and central nervous system), spinal fluid leak, paralysis, headache, swelling, bleeding, and bruising.
The most common and/or serious drug-related side effects of ITB Therapy include loose muscles, sleepiness, upset stomach, vomiting, headaches, and dizziness. Failure of the pump placed under your skin may cause symptoms due to overdose (receiving too much) or underdose (receiving too little) of intrathecal baclofen. The signs and symptoms of overdose include drowsiness, lightheadedness, dizziness, respiratory depression (difficulty breathing), hypothermia (lower than normal body temperature), seizures, loss of consciousness, and coma. Once the infusion system (the pump and the catheter) is implanted, possible complications include unintended movement of the catheter or pump within the body or breakdown of the skin over the pump. The catheter could leak, tear, kink, or become disconnected from the pump, resulting in underdose or no baclofen infusion. Symptoms of underdose include an increase or return in spasticity, itching, low blood pressure, lightheadedness, and tingling sensation. These symptoms are often early signs of baclofen withdrawal. The pump could stop because the battery has run out or because of a problem with one or more of its inner parts. The pump will sound an alarm when the pump needs to be filled with baclofen, replaced, or if there is a problem with the pump. You or your caregiver should always inform any healthcare personnel that you have an implanted infusion system before any medical or diagnostic procedure such as MRI or diathermy.

WORCESTER, Mass. – The Holy Cross softball team outhit Lehigh 11-9 Sunday afternoon, put were unable to turn those hits into runs, falling 5-2 and 5-0 in the doubleheader. With the two losses, Holy Cross falls to 14-31 (8-12 Patriot League), while Lehigh improves to 31-17 (14-6 Patriot League). With the completion of this weekend's games, the field for the Patriot League Tournament has been set. Army, Lehigh, Bucknell and Colgate clinched spots in the tournament, with the top seed to be determined next Friday when Army and Colgate make up a doubleheader that was postponed due to inclement weather.
Game 1
Lehigh took an early 5-0 lead, scoring three runs in the second inning and two in the third forcing Holy Cross to play from behind early in the game. Facing a shut out, the Crusaders were able to get a run across the plate in the sixth inning when junior Erin Fleming (Townsend, Mass.) scored on a RBI single to left field by sophomore Gwen Reimer (Pottsville, Pa.). Junior Tiffany Medwid (Imperial, Pa.) blasted a home run over the left field fence in the seventh inning, but the Crusaders couldn't get any closer, falling 5-2 in game one.
Junior Caitlin Belanger (Fall River, Mass.) pitched six complete innings for the Crusaders, allowing five runs on five hits and striking out four batters. Lehigh's Tiffany Curtis pitched seven complete innings, allowing just two runs on five hits and striking out four Crusaders. Holy Cross left seven runners stranded, while Lehigh left four on base.
Game 2
Despite out hitting the Mountain Hawks 6-4, Holy Cross couldn't find away to score, falling 5-0 in the final game of the four-game series. Lehigh took advantage of five walks in the third inning to score three runs on one hit. With two outs in the fourth inning, the Mountain Hawks scored on back-to-back singles to take a 4-0 lead and then put up one more run in the sixth inning to end the game 5-0.
Senior Melissa Pivonka (Tolland, Conn.) worked the circle for the first two innings, allowing two runs on no hits. Freshman Jenna Legros (Sandy Hook, Conn.) pitched one and two-thirds innings, allowing two runs on three hits and Belanger pitched the final two and one-third innings, allowing one run on one hit.
The Crusaders have concluded the 2010 season.

So as an initial music show sketch, I re-edited the video piece for an immersive fulldome environment. While I generally don't like to put rectangle video footage on the dome, well I figured I should break my own rules and see how far I could push the idea. It was an interesting first experiment in compositing video footage into an immersive experience.
What Tau Sounds Like was originally created by Michael Blake. The song is available on the iTunes store. I did not record the video or audio, I just adapted and enhanced it for the dome. Tools used in After Effects: Navegar Fulldome Plugin, Escher's Droste Plugin, and Fractal Explorer Plugin.

SOLON, Iowa-All that wet weather put a damper on Memorial Day weekend plans at Lake MacBride Park where soggy weather saturated the holiday.
From the looks of it, the Lorson Family might be the only ones hanging out fishing off Coralville Lake. The whole Lorson gang, Grandpa Ed and his sons, and grandsons, some from Missouri others from Iowa, all gathered here to celebrate what they'd hope would be a sunny and warm weekend.
"Nice 70s and 80s, not overcast and 60," said fisherman Zach Lorson.
"I'm not so much of a fisherman but we do it with them," said fisherman Ed Lorson.
And they caught plenty of fish. It's one of the silver linings on this dreary Memorial Day.
"Don't see any boats out here so it's a little bit quieter than it was last year," said Ed Lorson.
Memorial Day means big boat business here at Lack MacBride but so far they've only rented out about a handful.
"Usually they take reservations and they're booked for the weekend especially for the pontoon boats and there's a lot of activity down at the boat rental area," said Lake MacBride Park Ranger Gwen Prentice.
Plenty of boats left over, but no one to rent them. It's also scarce at the campgrounds are at Sugar Bottom.
"Since its Memorial Day, everybody would be out playing bags drinking, having a good time," said camper Heather Hurt.
But instead, Heather Hurt and her mother have plenty of elbow room to enjoy the soggy grounds. Their camp neighbors fled, leaving behind their tent and cooking equipment, after consistent rains and high winds.
"One of their bars of the tent collapsed and all the water from the rain went into the tent," said Hurt.
Two weeks before Memorial Day, Lake MacBride reached full capacity at more than 105 campsites booked. And not sticking it out, means the end of the holiday, and money lost.
"There is no refunds because of the weather," said Prentice.

How weather affects the health of the Chesapeake Bay (photos, video)
Hot summers, cold winters and windy conditions all have a big impact on the health of the Bay.
- 15 Photos
- (Photo: Alex Liggitt/Alex Liggitt | Date: May. 04, 2011)
Story from 2011: Bill Bradley who is the IT Program Manager of the NOAA Chesapeake Bay Office emailed me to let me know of a website that has real-time monitoring stations along the Bay. They call it the Chesapeake Bay Interpretive Buoy System (CBIBS). CBIBS consist of 9 (soon to be 10) buoys located around the Bay. One is located right in the Potomac south of the Wilson Bridge off National Harbor. It had to be redeployed this year to avoid ice damage this past winter.
With such drastic changes in the weather over the past year, including the hottest summer on record, a colder than normal December and January, and a wetter than normal spring, Doug and I got to wondering exactly how the weather affects the Chesapeake Bay. To get this question answered, we headed down to Piney Point, Md, to interview a group of scientists that work for the Maryland Department of Natural Resources.
Weather and climate play an enormous part on the health of the Chesapeake Bay. Just this past winter, a third of the adult Blue Crab population was killed off because of the colder than normal December and January. Not only were crustaceans affected, but also fish, as nearly 2 million spot fish died in December in the Bay, as they did not migrate south in time after a mild November.
So we know that wildlife can be affected by changes in the weather patterns, but what about water quality? The Chesapeake Bay Watershed spans 6 different states and contains drainage from more than 100,000 rivers, creeks and streams. Since rainfall has been well above normal this year for areas north and west of the Bay, runoff becomes an increasingly bigger problem. Excess nutrients such as nitrogen and phosphorus from farms and even your lawn often move downstream into the Bay which can harm everything from wildlife species to underwater grasses. Another problem from runoff is the excess sediment it carries into the Bay which can act to cloud the water and limit sunlight to the sea grass beds.
Why are sea grasses so important? They are an indicator of the health of the Bay. The sea grasses such as widgeon grass and eelgrass act not only as habitats for a number of species of crustaceans and fish, but can also limit erosion, and slow water flow to promote more light and photosynthesis into the waters of the Bay. They also improve water quality by filtering out sediments, absorbing nutrients from the water and producing oxygen. At one point in time, the Bay supported about 185,000 acres of sea grass beds. Restoration projects have been going on for years to try to increase coverage.
The weather plays a big role in how the grasses perform. Very high temperatures like last summer can kill the grasses. Also, excessive runoff from heavy rain clouds the water, which can really hurt the grasses by limiting sunshine, especially during the peak growing season from April through October. If we have another summer like last year, there is also the potential for algae blooms and low-oxygen dead zones which are a big threat to the Bay.
The scientists at the DNR have sensors and instruments at specific locations in the bay that measure temperature, dissolved oxygen, salinity, conductivity and pH every 15 minutes, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. They monitor the Bay on a daily basis, and will try to continue to improve conditions by growing sea grasses, implementing programs to teach residents living in the watershed and its tributaries, and improving policy to help continue to protect the Bay for the future.

The Bachelor
Wetpaint Exclusive! Message to Chris Campoli: Gia Allemand Wants You Back
To say that Gia Allemand and Wes Hayden ended things on a bad note would be quite the understatement. And when we had a chance to chat with Gia at the Bachelor reunion and Bachelor Pad 2 casting event in NYC on Saturday, January 29, she wasted no time in bringing up Vienna. She also told us what she really felt about Jake, and how she wants us to help her get her old boyfriend back!
Wetpaint: I have to say, I was shocked when Jake didn't pick you, and then I was really hoping you would become the next Bachelorette.
Gia: Thank you! That means a lot to me.
WP: Would you have done it?
Gia: Yeah, yeah! For sure.
WP: Was there any real romance with you and Wes?
Gia: Yeah, there was.
WP: How long did you guys date after the show?
Gia: Um, not… For a little bit.
WP: Just didn't work out?
Gia: Um, no. He… He's, um, with Vienna. [Laughs]
WP: What's dating been like since doing the show?
Gia: You know… God, it's hard. I haven't dated anyone, actually. I've been working a lot. I haven't dated anyone. I've met a few people — we would talk on the phone, but when it doesn't work on the phone, you know there's no point of even taking it there.
WP: Is it harder to meet guys?
Gia: It is, it is. 'Cause I never knew guys, like, watched The Bachelor. [Laughs] But apparently they all do, and they all know my ideal.
WP: So you had a boyfriend when you went on Bachelor Pad?
Gia: Yeah, I'm going to work on getting him back.
WP: Is that right?
Gia: Yeah. Write that, so he could see that! [Laughs] I wanna work on getting him back.
WP: What happened between you two?
Gia: I mean, nothing happened — I had a boyfriend on the Bachelor Pad, so obviously nothing… I didn't cheat on him. But then after the Bachelor Pad, we broke up, and then on the finale, Wes and I kissed, and that was when everything went downhill.
WP: He didn't handle that well, I'm guessing?
Gia: No. No, he didn't handle it.
WP: Do you still talk to him?
Gia: A little bit. Not much. Very little. He's still hurt.
WP: Did you have a real connection with Jake?
Gia: Yeah! I'm very easy to fall for someone. I just fall really quickly, and they cast really good-looking, nice guys, so you don't put someone like me in that mix! Obviously, someone like me is gonna fall. I'm that person. [Laughs]
WP: Do you watch Brad's season?
Gia: Yeah, I do.
WP: Who do you like?
Gia: I like Ashley, the nanny from New York.
WP: I love her, too.
Gia: She's my favorite, so if she doesn't win, she better be the Bachelorette.
WP: Do you know Brad at all?
Gia: No, I don't know him, but I like him. He seems really sweet, genuine — like a good guy.
WP: Do you keep in touch with Ali?
Gia: I don't, I don't. We tweet here and there. [Laughs] Twitter!
WP: Did you have a good experience on the Bachelor Pad overall?
Gia: I think every experience is a learning one, so I learned a lot. I learned you can't always trust everyone. I have to learn that. I'm still learning.

The world's superdams, which together hold as much water as the North Sea and have engendered huge controversy over their human and environmental impacts, face their first independent review next week. The World Bank, the biggest funder of these dams, launches the World Commission on Dams in Washington DC on 24 November with the World Conservation Union and antidam campaigners. The new body will recommend the first international standards for dam construction and management.

Today was the last day of school in Oakland (making me wonder, yet again, why the schedules of education reporters don't adhere to the academic calendar). Did you do anything fun with your class?
This summer, free meals for kids under 18 — students and non-students — will be served at these Oakland schools.

Love ths mf movie
I'm not even going to pay money to see this one...the previews were enough to make me roll my eyes. :rolleyes: Dumb dumb dumb
It lacks any redeming quality.
tired. lazy and redunlant humor
rehashing jokes and bits that have never been funny with folks that really CAN'T ACT is bound to SUCK!!!!
could've been much better.
Soul Plane succeeds on some of it's comedy but thats about it. I laughed out loud at much of the first half of the movie, but the rest of the film is to unrealistical in just about every sense that it fails to capture the viewer. Oh yeah it's pretty crude too.
Ginger Snaps 2 is a great movie. The first was very effective aswell but in that attempt the movie appeared cheaper and there was a depressing feeling of teen suicide in it. This instalment was just great, and the addition of the character Ghost was great. If you like horror, watch this movie and show it to your friends. Creepy, and I believe a true classic.
*1/2 / **** :rotten:
It's not like me to attend a film that bypassed most critics, but buddies wanted to, so... (and they really liked it... sigh, the shame). Apart from the few original ideas shown in the trailer, there were times during the screening when my mind drifted through the theatre walls and went somewhere (I'm not sure where)... Oh, and somehow the number rating still seems too high...
:rotten: :down:
this movie sucks. And I gave it a 4 because I had a few chckles, and their are really hot actresses. But otherwise dont bother.
Last night I went to go see Soul Plane. I really laughed pretty hard. It was a goofy movie, with a lot of sight gags, street goofs, gang jests, and rap. They didn't need a story, so they didn't use one. Sort of had a back story, but it really didn't matter. Tom Arnold was even good. As good as he could be I guess. I really laughed hard though. I was due for some mindless fun. We were token white folks in the audience. It was similar to going to movies in Oakland at Jack London Square. The audience yells at the screen, talks to the camera man, and sings to the music. An older well dressed black couple sat behind use, and they were just on the floor laughing. I'd hear "Oh no he didn't", and the lady would laugh this demonic giggle that just tore into my funny bone like a zamboni on an ice rink. CW would look at me and just give an "oooh geeezus" look, and just roll his eyes and laugh.
There was a long line for the midnight opening of Harry Potter just next to the theater. It was twisted. All ages... all hair colors, skin colors, the scent of bonnie bell, clearisil, and pocket protectors equaling that of clove cigarrettes, patchoulli, and crayons. I never saw a single HP movie or read one of the books. My niece and nephew could cite a single line and verse as one would cite a bible scripture. At dinner the comment was made that the really cool thing about this particular storyline is that it pissed of xtians. I almost bought the books when I saw that, but just couldn't conform.
Ok yea coming into this movie you didn't expect much but it was worse than i had expected. While it had funny parts somethings just plain weren't funny. I guess it was black comedy and i am white so thats maybe why i didnt like it as much but snoop diggy dog was funny and same with tom arnold it had funny parts but not enough to where it would be at all conisdered a funny movie.

The NFL has become known as the "League of Denial" for its controversial head-in-the-sand approach to brain injuries caused by a violent game.
But media attention and lawsuits have forced leaders of America's most popular sport to institute strict guidelines that can help protect players from traumatic head injuries.
Soccer, in which players are vulnerable to head collisions without the protection of helmets, is way behind the NFL.
It became abundantly clear Thursday during a draining moment in Uruguay's otherwise thrilling 2-1 victory over England.
Uruguayan midfielder Alvaro Pereira was inadvertently kneed in the head by attacking midfielder Raheem Sterling. Although it appeared he was momentarily unconscious, Pereira remained in the game.
Had this been an American football game — at almost any level — Pereira would have been sent to the locker room to undergo a concussion protocol before even returning to practice in the coming days. See a standardized test at concussionnfl. For information from the Centers of Disease Control look at concussionninfo.
After a disheartening few moments on the ground, Pereira walked to the sideline appearing woozy, according to reports.
A team doctor for la Celeste seemed to signal to the coaching staff for a replacement. The midfielder, however, lobbied to coaches and the physician that he could continue.
Remarkably, they conceded the point although Pereira had not been properly evaluated for a concussion.
The example highlights a flaw in FIFA's system of substitution. The Uruguayans needed to make a quick decision in a game that stops for no one.
With elimination from the World Cup riding in the balance, coach Oscar Tabarez made the wrong decision, plain and simple. He might have felt he didn't have good options, which included using one of only three substitutions.
Tabarez could have ordered a proper sideline evaluation as the standard precaution but that would have taken from 8 to 12 minutes, according to NFL literature. La Celeste would have had to play against England with a man short in a game eventually decided by one goal.
Although Pereira's injury looked dramatic, head collisions are common on the field. According to research presented at a concussion conference at Santa Clara University in the fall, women soccer players are susceptible to head trauma second only to those in American football.
Using the head to whip a ball toward the goal can cause problems, according to researchers. The risk increases when considering those horrible collisions between players going for airballs. Researchers have noted that a number of small blows to the head area can increase the chance of serious brain injury. In other words, it doesn't have to be one, dramatic incident such as Pereira's to trigger a lifelong injury.
We complain about the officiating at the 2014 World Cup. We bemoan when players take dives or waste time when protecting a lead. We scream when Landon Donovan is trimmed from the U.S. roster.
But head trauma is a real and dangerous health concern for soccer players. It's time for FIFA to set genuine standards instead of pretending to take action.
