Return to Sender
Rosamund Pike picked up an Oscar nomination for her brilliantly unhinged turn in 'Gone Girl', and she returns to familiar territory in this dark, satisfying indie. Pike is Miranda, an uppity-yet-likeable nurse who's brutally raped in her home. Struggling with post-traumatic stress, she resolves to visit her attacker in prison, and, through a series of jarring flirting-through-the-perspex meetings, they appear to grow close.It's an uncomfortable relationship to witness, but, despite appearing sincere, we're left questioning Miranda's true intentions. Is she as all-forgiving as she appears to be? Or is this a carefully calculated set-up for an almighty vengeful finale? Put it this way, there's no way an actress of Pike's intelligence would have signed on for what looks like, until the last ten minutes, a very poorly judged forgive-and-forget morality tale. And besides, the clue's in the title.Props to Pike, then, for making an inevitable twist feel like a shock conclusion. Were it not for her trademark icy, enigmatic delivery, this could easily have been a shoddily transparent slice of revenge schlock, rather than a smart, subtly pitched thriller with a fist-pumping feminist finale.
A Little Chaos
'A Little Chaos' is, you imagine, what Alan Titchmarsh might dream about after watching 'Fifty Shades of Grey'. Kate Winslet plays a pioneering seventeenth-century gardener in the French court of Louis XIV, and she's the best thing about the film. Wearing a corset so tight that it's a miracle she can breathe, let alone act, she gives an emotionally switched-on performance as Sabine de Barra, a woman with nothing to lose after the death of her husband and daughter. Scandalising the court, she applies for a job with André le Nôtre (Matthias Schoenaerts), the real-life landscape architect behind the Gardens of Versailles. Sabine, bosom heaving, bonds with André over the begonias. But the usually excellent Schoenaerts is a big letdown, doing what can only be described as dead-fish acting while sporting a career-killing, straggly haircut. To be fair, he does have to work with some hilarious dialogue: 'Your heart beats furiously, mine just ticks'. Helen McCrory gives 'House of Cards' First Lady Claire Underwood a run for her money in the ruthless-bitch stakes as his viper of a wife, while Alan Rickman, also directing, is as dry as a desert in a drought as Louis.
It's been four years since Cameron Crowe, director of sticky, heartwarming all-American comedies like 'Almost Famous' and 'Jerry Maguire' last made a film – the very nice but forgettable 'We Bought a Zoo'. Now he's back with a Hawaii-set romcom packed with more celebrities than Vanity Fair's Oscars party. We can't quite get our heads around the plot. But Bradley Cooper seems to be some kind of military contractor on his uppers. The trailer opens with him getting a royal bollocking from his boss Alec Baldwin. Then he's off Hawaii to fly planes with Emma Stone and have deep and meaningfuls with his ex (Rachel McAdams). It all looks typically Crowe – sunny and sweet – and we're enjoying Bill Murray dispensing twinkly, hard-won wisdom in the trailer.
Terminator Genisys
Precision-tooled yet lacking even the smallest glint of red-eyed emotion or coherence, this fifth 'Terminator' film will make your head hurt.
While We're Young
Maturity is a slippery staircase in the comedies of American indie filmmaker Noah Baumbach.
From sidekicks to centre-stage superstars, the Minions have busted out of the 'Despicable Me' franchise and gone rogue in this berserk slice of semi-silent slapstick silliness. Little, yellow, peachy-keen, and essentially useless, the Minions are part of an animated tradition stretching back to the brooms in 'Fantasia', the Doozers in 'Fraggle Rock' and the aliens in 'Toy Story'. But can they carry an entire film? The answer – surprisingly, pleasingly and resoundingly – is yes. Cut loose from the family-values slushiness of their parent franchise, the Minions are free to indulge their basest, weirdest, most randomly hilarious instincts. The plot is simple and largely irrelevant. Set before 'Despicable Me' in the heady summer of 1968, the film follows three Minions – bossy Kevin, reluctant Stuart and toddler-on-a-sugar-jag Bob – as they search for a new evil master to serve. They fix upon Scarlett Overkill (voiced by Sandra Bullock), a female super-villain making waves in the global community of evil. The film's weakest aspect is, perhaps predictably, its human side: Scarlett is little more than a Cruella de Vil clone – though her feckless husband Herb (Jon Hamm) is louchely wonderful. And the geeky idea of a villainous subculture with its own icons and fan conventions feels a bit trite. But the action sequences are wild, the jokes relentlessly dumb-but-smart, and the sheer sense of anything-goes daftness – which reaches a pinnacle when Bob draws the sword from the stone and i

News Detail
Professor's poetry heard around the worldPosted Apr. 17, 2012
Kent State University at Ashtabula professor Roger Craik likes to share his poetry with the world. He recently returned from a two-week trip to Al Ain University in the United Arab Emirates.
There he shared some of his poetry and expertise to the students of Al Ain. This was his second trip to this university. Craik already has a well-documented past for sharing his poetry and knowledge to that region of the world.
Professor Craik had an opportunity to share a few photos and answer some questions about his trip.
What poems did you read?
I read only recent poems, poems I had never read in public before. I remember how the older Elvis Presley said when interviewed, "well, honey, there's only so many times you can sing Heartbreak Hotel..."
How was the translation received?
The translation was done by Dr. Saddik Gohar, of the AAU English department. The format was as follows: I would read the poem in English, and then Saddik would read the translation in Arabic. There were screens behind us with the English and Arabic versions. It was extraordinarily well received. There was at least 20 minutes of questions and answer after the reading. In fact, the university students are continuing to study my translated poems as part of their classes.
What else did you do while at the university?
I taught a poetry writing class over four sessions while I was there. No knowledge of poetry was expected in the students before taking the class. I then handed out diplomas for those who completed it.
Why is an experience like this important to you?
I think that travel broadens the mind not only in the going, but also in the returning. One views America with different eyes, and, of course, one hears different viewpoints.
Did the trip inspire any new poems?
Not yet, but one of the most memorable experiences was on the (12-hour) flight to Dubai. For over two hours I could see the snow-covered mountains of eastern Turkey, and then, in sunset, all of the rivers, lakes, and ox-bow lakes in Iraq, illuminated gold by the setting sun. And flashing once only as the plane flew over. I might sometime get that into a poem, but I'm not sure now. I did read a poem I wrote while in the Emirates last year, about a copy of a Zane Grey novel I found in my host's house, in the expatriate housing complex.

Volleyball: Baylor Defeats WVU
WACO, Texas – The West Virginia volleyball team lost a 3-0 (14-25, 19-25, 20-25) battle to Baylor tonight at the Ferrell Center.
In the third straight road match, the Mountaineers (2-6) struggled offensively against the Bears (6-1) who recorded 74 digs and four team blocks.
The first set was all about Baylor as the Bears started the set with a 20-10 lead. Freshman middle blocker Evyn McCoy attempted to spark the Mountaineer offense with two kills, but the Bears were too much and the team ultimately fell 25-14.
The Mountaineers started the second set strong by quickly taking a 3-1 lead with a service ace by junior outside hitter Anke de Jong and service errors by Baylor. The Bears fought back and used service aces by Brittany Ridenour to gain a 7-4 advantage. WVU stayed close the rest of the set before a block by de Jong and a Baylor error put the Mountaineers down by one at 18-17. The team could not stop the Bears' offense as Baylor went on a 7-2 run to end the set.
Down two sets, WVU used kills from de Jong and senior outside hitter Kylie Armbruster to take an 11-8 lead in the third set. With no room for error, the team never let Baylor gain an advantage as the score was tied eight times. With the score tied at 20, the Mountaineer offense could not get past the Baylor block as they stopped the Mountaineers twice on their way to taking the set and the match.
WVU was led by de Jong who recorded seven kills and senior libero Serinna Russo who posted 23 digs and one service ace.
WVU returns to action next weekend at the University of Kentucky Invitational in Lexington, Ky., from Sept. 9-10. The Mountaineers will take on Houston and Loyola Marymount on Sept. 9 at 10 a.m. and 5 p.m., respectively. The team will then face host Kentucky on Sept. 10 at 5 p.m.

Poll Finds Less Than Half in Wisconsin Want Walker Recall
Looking to recall Wisconsin governor Scott Walker? You're in the minority in the state. That's the findings of a new poll conducted for a free market group in New York. According to the poll for the Manhattan Institute for Policy Research, 44% of Wisconsinites are in favor of recalling governor Walker but a solid 50% say no to that process. Meanwhile, the same poll finds that Wisconsinites are almost perfectly evenly split on the job Walker's doing. While slightly more than half are opposed to Walker's signature legislation in Madison, the law that added restrictions to collective bargaining for most public employees

"Our card turned out beautifully! High quality all the way. I liked this design because I could change the wording. Instead of 'A Season of Thanks', I was able to change it to 'Happy Fall, Y'all'. So nice to not only personalize these items, but also to change the sentiment."
"Our family and friends are thrilled with their Thanksgiving treats. They are raving about the quality and the clarity of the pictures. Most importantly, we will be framing our copy to create a fall photo gallery in our family room."
"Very Heavy, smooth cover stock with amazing color saturation!! Love all the control over fonts and colors. would love to be able to change/move printed titles sometimes too! Everyone was in love with the "beautiful, fun, creative card!!"
"I ordered this design because it really says it all. I'm so very thankful... for my sweet baby boy. I added a cute portrait on the front and two pics of him eating his first solids on the back. These will be a hit with the Grannies and Grampies!"
"As with all Tiny Prints cards this card's paper and print quality are superior. I love the layout as the boxes on the front are all different sizes so it gives the card a nice custom, layered look. The optional customized back gives it an even more unique touch. I am 110% satisfied with this card."

Chow-Chow (Pennsylvania Dutch Pickled Vegetables)
Makes 16 pints
The Pennsylvania Dutch are famous for their pickles, relishes and condiments, often served as part of the traditional 'sweets and sours' with a large meal. Chow-Chow, in my recollection, has always been one of the favorites. It is made up of a variety of vegetables that are in season near the end of the summer. I remember a church in Dryville, PA, used to make batches of chow-chow to sell for a fund-raiser. This is my grandmother's recipe. It is, without a doubt, the best chow-chow I have ever eaten. I have only tasted one store-bought variety that came close, and it was purchased at a farmers' market in Asheville, NC. The difference is primarily in the combination and size of the vegetables. In this recipe, the vegetables are cut into small pieces whereas, in most other varieties, they are processed or shredded. It takes some effort, but will reap the rewards for months.
- 1 pound bag dried Navy Beans
- 1 pound bag dried Red Kidney Beans
- 1 quart lima beans (about 5 pounds unshelled)
- 2 pounds string (snap) beans (combination of yellow and green)
- 1 large head cauliflower
- 1 medium head celery
- 4 large sweet red peppers
- 4 large sweet green peppers
- 1 quart (2 pounds) carrots
- 1-1/2 cups small boiling onions (can used canned cocktail onions, rinsed and drained)
- 1-1/2 cups small sweet gherkins (can used canned, rinsed and drained)
- 1 gallon white vinegar
- 6 cups granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup coarse canning or kosher salt, more or less to taste

Cook dried beans separately, according to package directions, until tender. Rinse with cold water and drain. Set aside. Cook all other fresh vegetables separately until crisp-tender; drain and immerse immediately in ice water. This will stop cooking and help retain color. Set aside.
Combine vinegar, sugar and salt in large stockpot or kettle large enough to hold all ingredients. Bring to a boil, being certain sugar and salt are completely dissolved. Add the cooked beans, vegetables, canned onions and gherkins. Bring back to boil, then reduce heat and keep at a simmer. Place in hot sterilized jars, leaving 1/2-inch head space, and process in a boiling water canner for 10 minutes at an altitude up to 1,000 feet, 15 minutes at 1,000 to 6,000 feet. (Processing times are based on guidelines provided by the USDA National Food Safety Database.)
Notes: Recipe can be made in smaller amounts and, rather than processing, kept in the refrigerator for up to two months.

WASHINGTON — — Dan Bongino launched his first campaign for office on a laptop computer in his dining room. His wife, alone at his side, was the only other person he was sure would vote for him.
Two years later, as the Severna Park man runs for the House of Representatives in Maryland's 6th Congressional District, he has taken on something of a celebrity status. Now, when he knocks on voters' doors, he's often recognized from his appearances on Fox News or national talk radio programs.

Washington, D.C. Weather Forecast: Heavy Rain this afternoon
A few rain showers this morning, but thunderstorms may produce gusty winds and heavy downpours this afternoon.
- This Afternoon:
- Showers/T-Storms likely
- Highs: Mid 80s
- Wind: SW 5-10
- Tonight:
- Showers/T-Storms this Evening
- Lows: Upper 60s
- Wind: SW to NE 5-10
- Tomorrow Morning:
- Partly Cloudy with a few showers, mainly in the morning
- Highs: Around 80
- Wind: N 10
A few showers across the area this morning, but many of us just dealing with low clouds and high humidity. That changes this afternoon when thunderstorms become more widespread and have the potential to dump heavy rain. The rainfall forecast today from the Weather Prediction Center (NOAA) shows a bullseye over our area.
- Rainfall Forecast
I'm not too concerned about flooding at this point, but some urban flooding is possible in the heavier storms. A few storms may also produce damaging winds. The cold front may linger close enough to us that Friday may feature a few showers as well, but overall, less humid and slightly cooler air moves in starting tomorrow. It should last into the weekend before we warm up again next week.

Generally, an amplifier or simply amp, is any device that changes, usually increases, the amplitude of a signal. The "signal" is usually voltage or current. (So, an amplifier will generally increase the signal level)
In popular use, the term today usually refers to an electronic amplifier, often as in audio applications. The relationship of the input to the output of an amplifier — usually expressed as a function of the input frequency — is called the transfer function of the amplifier, and the magnitude of the transfer function is termed the gain. A related device that emphasizes conversion of signals of one type to another (for example, a light signal in photons to a DC signal in amperes) is a transducer, or a sensor. However, a transducer does not amplify power.
A full-range audio amplifier will be essentially flat between 20 Hz to about 20 kHz (the range of normal human hearing.) In minimalist amplifier design, the amp's usable frequency response needs to extend considerably beyond this (one or more octaves either side) and typically a good minimalist amplifier will have points < 10 and > . Professional touring amplifiers often have input and/or output filtering to sharply limit frequency response beyond ; too much of the amplifier's potential output power would otherwise be wasted on infrasonic and ultrasonic frequencies, and the danger of AM radio interference would increase. Modern switching amplifiers need steep low pass filtering at the output to get rid of high frequency switching noise and harmonics.
Some amplifiers are designed to handle this in a controlled way which causes a reduction in gain to take place instead of excessive distortion; the result is a compression effect, which (if the amplifier is an audio amplifier) will sound much less unpleasant to the ear. For these amplifiers, the compression point is defined as the input power (or output power) where the gain is less than the small signal gain.
Linearization is an emergent field, and there are many techniques, such as feedforward, predistortion, postdistortion, EER, LINC, CALLUM, cartesian feedback, etc., in order to avoid the undesired effects of the non-linearities.
tr * BW = 0.35, where tr is rise time in seconds and BW is bandwidth in Hz.
According to Symons, while semiconductor amplifiers have largely displaced valve amplifiers for low power applications, valve amplifiers are much more cost effective in high power applications such as "radar, countermeasures equipment, or communications equipment" (p. 56). Many microwave amplifiers are specially designed valves, such as the klystron, gyrotron, traveling wave tube, and crossed-field amplifier, and these microwave valves provide much greater single-device power output at microwave frequencies than solid-state devices (p. 59).
The essential role of this active element is to magnify an input signal to yield a significantly larger output signal. The amount of magnification (the "forward gain") is determined by the external circuit design as well as the active device.
Many common active devices in transistor amplifiers are bipolar junction transistors (BJTs) and metal oxide semiconductor field-effect transistors (MOSFETs).
Applications are numerous, some common examples are audio amplifiers in a home stereo or PA system, RF high power generation for semiconductor equipment, to RF and Microwave applications such as radio transmitters.
Transistor-based amplifier can be realized using various configurations: for example with a bipolar junction transistor we can realize common base, common collector or common emitter amplifier; using a MOSFET we can realize common gate, common source or common drain amplifier. Each configuration has different characteristic (gain, impedance...).
An operational amplifier is a solid state integrated circuit amplifier which employs external feedback for control of its transfer function or gain.
A fully differential amplifier is a solid state integrated circuit amplifier which employs external feedback for control of its transfer function or gain. It is similar to the operational amplifier but it also has differential output pins.
Used for high power amplification at low microwave frequencies. They typically can amplify across a broad spectrum of frequencies; however, they are usually not as tunable as klystrons.
Field modulation of a very high speed AC generator was also used for some early AM radio transmissions. See Alexanderson alternator.
Optical amplifiers amplify light through the process of stimulated emission.

Arusha — The arrest in Arusha at the end of the past week of Callixte Gakwaya - a Rwandan lawyer working for the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda (ICTR) - has triggered turmoil until Tanzanian authorities released the suspect - a decision that infuriated Rwandan authorities.
Representing Mr Yussuf Munyakazi - a former head of the Interahamwe militia -, Gakwaya is accused by Rwanda of having participated in the genocide that took place in the country in 1994. According to the ICTR, Rwandan authorities had never voiced their suspicions before Gakwaya was appointed lead attorney. He used to work as an assistant lawyer within the defence team of Niyitegeka, a former minister sentenced to life imprisonment.
When Rwanda filed the accusation in February 2006, Gakwaya took refuge in Mozambique, a country with a common border with Tanzania. Rwanda consequently issued a warrant of arrest transmitted to the ICTR and Tanzania. The lawyer was arrested on Friday in Arusha.
As soon as the arrest was announced and again on Monday when the hearings resumed, lawyers pleading before the ICTR expressed their concern and stressed the fact that this arrest violates the deal concluded between the ICTR and Tanzania that guarantees them immunity in the frame of their activities.
Several hearings have been suspended due to the threat of certain lawyers to go on strike. Many meetings have been held without defence lawyers agreeing on a common position. In a press release this Tuesday afternoon, the tribunal's clerk, without announcing the release of the lawyer, stated that Tanzanian authorities had been made aware of these « strong concerns » regarding Gakwaya's case.
On Wednesday morning, the tribunal's spokesperson Timothée Gallimore declared during a press conference that the ICTR « had no responsibility in the arrest and release of Callixte Gakwaya ». His liberation, he says, is the consequence of the intervention of « local friends ». The lawyer has retrieved his passport, according to an unofficial source.
But for Aloys Mutabingwa - the Rwandan representative to the ICTR - there is absolutely no doubt: the tribunal has had « a clear and direct role » in this liberation. « We cannot maintain the same degree of cooperation with this court », he trounced, announcing that his country would « refer the matter to the Security Council ».
Since the opening of the tribunal, Rwanda has repeatedly accused the ICTR of employing alleged genociders. Two employees have been charged with genocide crimes. One of them, recognized by a witness, is now awaiting to be judged. A list of wanted suspects Rwanda has recently published comprises the names of twelve employees of the ICTR.
Investigations have been opened and decisions are expected. These suspicions against ICTR employees, not systematically backed up by either evidence or testimony, naturally worry defence teams. In order to perform their duties, the tribunal's lawyers effectively employ Rwandan investigators who sometimes happen to be close to the accused. Some of them actually prefer to stay away from Arusha as long as the investigations are not concluded and that the tribunal has not clearly defined its position on the matter.

Thanks again to all for their time, effort and input.
Thanks especially to Ken Bloom for persevering with finding
the ultimate solution.
I don't know why uncommenting the required entries in the
rc.modprobe file did not work; but, as Ken suggested, I
put the modprobe parport_pc and modprobe lp where Slackware
would find them on startup. I chose rc.local since it is
my hack of the problem and it seems to me to be a logical
Manually editing the /edit/cups/printers.conf failed to
produce print output. And, the parallel port choice still
does not show in the http://localhost:631/admin Device
screen. However, the KDE printer setup was able to do its
magic and produced the Cups Printer Test Page.
A document was subsequently printed from ABIWord so at last
all is well.
Thanks again to all.

ZIMBABWE'S Young Warriors risk being walked over by Congo Brazzaville after they failed to travel to the Central African country yesterday for their African Under-17 Youth Championships qualifier. The Young Warriors, trailing 1-2 from the first leg in Harare, were expected to play the Congolese in Brazzaville today. But by late last night they were still holed up in the capital with Zifa insisting that they had encountered complications with the connecting flights between Harare and Brazzaville.
Zifa chief executive, Jonathan Mashingaidze, could not be reached for comment last night.
But sources at Zifa indicated that the 26-member Zimbabwe Under-17 delegation had faced challenges following their "late travel arrangements".
Zifa, struggling for funding, could not secure the Young Warriors' air tickets on time.
By the time they got some confirmation about air tickets the airline reportedly told them that they were fully booked on the flight from Nairobi to Brazzaville, which meant they could only travel in batches with the bigger part of the group only arriving in Congo after the match.
But with no guarantees of a connection flight for the entire squad to Brazzaville, the trip became a risky exercise.
It also emerged that Zifa late yesterday notified both the Confederation of African Football and their hosts of their plight and had sought a postponement of the game to Thursday.
"There were challenges related to the issue of funding which meant that tickets could not be paid for on time.
"But by the time the tickets had been secured which would have meant the squad would leave Harare at 1am tomorrow (early this morning) aboard Kenyan airways.
"However, that arrangement had its complications in that the flight between Nairobi and Brazzaville only had eight vacant seats and with the game being on the same day of their arrival, it did not make sense just to send eight people there.
"So now Zifa have written to Caf and the FA in Congo to ask them to move the game to Thursday by which time the team would have travelled.
"If Caf and Congo agree to the request then the match will be rescheduled," the sources said.
The Young Warriors had initially been scheduled to leave last Thursday but financial constraints forced them to delay their departure.
Lloyd Chigowe's side progressed to this stage after dismissing Mozambique 4-2 on aggregate.
If this trip is doomed, the Under-17s will join their counterparts, the Under-20s, who also failed to travel to Angola in August to fulfil their second leg.
This will mean the two junior national teams will face a possible three-year ban each from Caf competitions.
Chigowe was not happy with the way things were unfolding last night.
"It's pathetic to say the least because you cannot expect to come up with a good result even if we make it to Congo," said Chigowe.
The Young Warriors also made life difficult for themselves in the game against Mozambique in Harare before battling hard to turn the tables in Maputo.

What are Workers Comp Standard Exception Codes?
We will use NCCI Standard Exception Codes - classifications that are common to many businesses and that are generally not allowed to be designated as the governing classification. The governing classification is the class code that produces the most payroll in a business. The Standard Exception Codes are:
8810 - Clerical
8742 - Salespersons or Collectors - Outside
8871 - Clerical Telecommuter Employees
7380 - Drivers, Chauffeurs, Messengers, and Their Helpers NOC—Commercial
8748 - Automobile Salespersons
Please note that each of these codes has many subheadings. The Classification Code 8810 has pages and pages of explanation on the code. Is there an overall guide to what jobs fit all of these codes? The NCCI has the Scopes Manual which is supposed to be used by all insurance personnel that rate or audit companies' Workers Comp payrolls and premiums.
One caveat to the Standard Exception Codes is that premium auditors are trained in and are very adept at analyzing the above Class Codes. We often see in our audits for employers where the auditor has changed the Class Codes from the Standard Exception Codes to other codes.

My Selah experience was a meaningful encounter with powerful ideas and fascinating people. I chose to focus my energies on improving my partnership skills, and Selah provided me with insights, tools, and a network of relationships that pushed me to advance on that front in ways that were noticed by my colleagues at City Year. During the program I was given the opportunity to collaborate with another key department at my organization in ways that had the potential to powerfully support my own efforts — if I could initiative a conversation around sensitive issues of overall purpose and goals in a respectful and effective way. Through the tools we encountered at retreats, conversations with Selah peers, and the support of my study partner, I was able to advance the partnership in substantial and powerful ways. It didn't take long to see the ripple effects of that partnership. My supervisor told me that she had been hearing positive feedback from colleagues about a change in my working style. And soon after Selah ended I was surprised to find the head of the other department invite me to sit in on a meeting with a senior staffer from the White House Fellows program. They were looking for best practices in developing their fellows into leaders, and the department head felt it would be valuable for me to be a part of the conversation! I have no doubt that the partnership skills I learned through Selah played a meaningful role in creating this new level of interdepartmental collaboration, and it is exciting to think about how these newly strengthened relationships will advance City Year's leadership development efforts both internally and externally.

Mississippi State sports fans shouldn't have any complaints about the way 2011 ended.
In the final two days to close the year, the Bulldogs were able to win in football, men's basketball and women's basketball.
After losing a 54-52 decision to Baylor Wednesday night, Mississippi State bounced back to take a hard-earned 66-64 men's hoops victory against Utah State on Saturday at Humphrey Coliseum.
The visiting Aggies brought an 8-5 record to Starkville, but played much better than that mark indicated.
It was a tough day for the Bulldogs as Renardo Sidney and Arnett Moultrie were battling sinus problems and Wendell Lewis was suffering from a headache.
MSU coach Rick Stansbury wasn't expecting his players to have such a hard time physically, but warned all week that Utah State was going to be a difficult test.
It was a credit to the Bulldogs to come back from a nine-point victory to find a way to beat the Aggies.
Stansbury had a sigh of relief afterwards.
"We understood how good Utah State is," Stansbury said. "This was a good game to win, knowing where this game fell, it was a really difficult challenge."
There are certain games in the non-conference slate that are harder matchups than others.
The 68-58 loss MSU had to Akron in the second game of the year was probably the most disappointing one this season. The Bulldogs played hard in the two-point loss to Baylor which was basically a home game for the Bears. MSU picked up some good victories along the way against West Virginia, Detroit and now Utah State.
Now the Bulldogs turn their attention to Southeastern Conference play with a road trip set for Arkansas on Saturday.
"This is a new season," Stansbury said. "It's now a 16-game season."
The Lady Bulldogs also rebounded from a first-round 78-71 loss at the Peppermill Classic against Oklahoma State to defeat Nevada 67-63 on Friday.
MSU finished the non-conference part of the schedule with an overall record of 10-3 and that's probably about where coach Sharon Fanning-Otis expected it to be.
Now comes the rugged SEC schedule so the Lady Bulldogs have to buckle down for Thursday's home encounter with LSU.
Even though a 7-6 record was not what MSU was anticipating at the beginning of the football season, it turned out to be a sweet ending with the 23-17 win against Wake Forest at the Music City Bowl in Nashville, Tenn., on Friday night.
Now like in basketball, the Bulldogs turn the page in football and look to bigger things next season.
Tyler Russell should go into spring practice as the No. 1 quarterback for MSU, but expect Dak Prescott to give him some interesting battles moving forward.
Over the next few days, we will find out if Fletcher Cox and/or Johnthan Banks declares for the National Football League draft.
The Bulldogs will take a big hit defensively if both decide to depart the program.
With recruiting, spring practice, summer workouts and the regular season, football has become a subject that can be addressed 365 days a year.
Here's to starting 2012 off right.

Website of the day: Wahanda
If the newspapers and glossy magazines are anything to go by, just about everybody is going to a festival this year.
The media is full of page upon page of tips and advice on how to get everything from your wardrobe to your hair to your complexion "festival fit".
The wardrobe thing we get. You need certain things if you're planning on spending a weekend in a tent in the countryside. But your skin? Your hair? Your nails? Really?
Those of us who have been to festivals know that perfecting your skincare regime is something that can probably wait until afterwards. If it's wet, you're going to be caked in mud and midges. If it's dry, you'll be covered in dust and dried-up sun cream.
So keep the facials and spa treatments for afterwards, and take a look at wahanda.com to find out where to go to get your face looking more like it was before you spent three days not showering, eating fried food, drinking warm beer and not sleeping a wink.
It couldn't be easier. Type in what you want done and where you are, and the search engine shows you the latest deals from your local salons.
You know it makes sense.

Winter!: Prepare for holiday gaming!
A worthwhile Shaman King game. It doesn't follow the plot of the anime at all, and has solid length and gameplay. The gaming style is kind of a part strategy part fighter system as you command characters on a gridded map and when Yoh engages an enemy it switches to fighting game format. Other characters attack like in a normal strategy game. Also worth noting is the vs. fighting mode unlocked after the game which allows you to play just about everyone in the game in the fighter system. The combat is really basic here, but it's amusing nonetheless and the character selection is really good. (owned and completed, accurate rating is 7.25)

Stoke-on-Trent, Staffordshire
And ninthly? Not very far down the list for a really tortuous argument, is it? Even Nils Grande (Letters, 13 December, p 57) said he would only go as far as "and twenty-fifthly", and that was with his back to the wall.
The record for this style of donnish enumeration reaches comfortably into four figures. According to John Betjeman, it was established earlier this century by the late Lord Mount Prospect, an Irish nobleman who belonged to an obscure religious sect known as the Ember Day Bryanites.
He died while preaching a very long sermon, and I can do no better than to quote this macabre account from Betjeman's
"Then: oh horror! A black-gowned figure, whose head was a skull off which all but the spectacles had withered, whose arm rested on a pile of papers, and whose fleshless ...

A Couple Of Recent Studies The Mainstream Media Forgot To Mention
Investigators and pundits alike are fond of calling for 'more research' into the safety and efficacy of marijuana and its active compounds. Ironically, when such calls are heeded and new research is published, nobody wants to talk about it.
For example, researchers at the State University of New York (SUNY), Upstate Medical University in Syracuse published data in the June issue of the journal Pharmacology concluding that the administration of the plant cannabinoids delta-8-THC and delta-9-THC halted cellular respiration and tumor growth in human oral cancer cells. Specifically, investigators reported that cannabinoids were a "potent inhibitor" of Tu183 human cancer cells, a notoriously difficult to treat type of oral cancer.
Of course, this is hardly the first time that pot's compounds have been demonstrated to possess anti-cancer properties. As has been widely reported here and elsewhere, US government researchers were first aware of this finding over 35 years ago, and today there exist published scientific studies demonstrating that cannabinoids can inhibit the proliferation of a wide range of cancers — including brain cancer, prostate cancer, breast cancer, lung cancer, skin cancer, pancreatic cancer, biliary tract cancer, and lymphoma. Nonetheless, abstract prohibitionist concerns regarding marijuana's supposed cancer risk continue to dominate the headlines while actual scientific studies debunking these allegations tend to go unnoticed.
Similarly, preclinical data published online last week in the journal Cell Communication and Signaling reported that the administration of the non-psychoactive cannabinoid cannabidiol (CBD) increases adult neurogenesis (the active production of new neurons) in laboratory animals. Authors speculated that cannabis' pro-neurogenic effects may explain why the plant appears to be useful in the treatment of certain neurodegenerative disorders like Alzheimer's disease or ALS.
As I wrote last week, to date there are now over 20,000 published studies or reviews in the scientific literature pertaining to marijuana and its active compounds — making marijuana the most studied plant on Earth. But what's the point in further research if nobody even bothers to pay attention to the research that's already been done?
- Article from NORML on July 6, 2010.
Hugh Grant will forever be known as the guy who got a blow job from a prostitute. The media is like a elephant, it never forgets!
I tend not to blame this on the media though. Blame big business, the pharmaceutical corps, the health care system, the lobbyists, and the politicians right up to obama and all the past presidents during prohibition for this one.
I hope that elephant in the room takes a dump in the oval office.
Cannabis is _not the most studid Plant in the world
That honor would go to rice, corn or any of the other cereals that sustain human life. Opium has been studied in greater depth than cannabis because it is both a valuable well establihsted medicine and a dangerous recreational drug.
Cannabis has some use in medicine,
but it will always be a novel fringe drug

Dear Mr.or Ms."Pot as
Dear Mr.or Ms."Pot as medicine".You forgot to mention that it could be the other way around.People in the future could well be in a position to not understand why marijuana ever came be tolerated somewhat in western societies.You might as well enjoy the freedom you have today in being able to smoke a joint or two without being executed,because if you think future societies will be more permissive I think on the contrary that totalitarian and lack of freedom will prevail in future societies.Look at the trend with the recent G20 meeting. A real police state. Imagine the world when theres going to be bionic flies spying on you with their compound camera eyes courtesy of Mr.Harper XX th century ideology.
it is politically correct to keep calling for more testing (in the hopes of finding out that cannabis is in fact the evil weed it has been portrayed to be)...when the studies confirm OTHERWISE (as is nearly always the case) media outlets shun the results as they fear reporting that cannabis is NOT the evil weed will come to mean the media supports legalization- which is still politically incorrect...otherwise known as blaming the messenger...
Constant Testing
The Feds don't keep retesting cannabis so they don;t have to pass legislation permitting it.. they keep testing cannabis to see why, if its not addictive, so many people devote their lives to getting & staying stoned..
and as we can all see, chronics are slow, dull and cranky: and even if they are forced off pot in jail, they remain slow dull and cranky none the less.. that's permanent brain damage , cannabis toxidity is no fantasy, its gonna give us a future full of absurd career criminal gansta grampas by the >millions who will be useless slugs that normal people will be obliged to feed and house- - because they will be just too fucked up on decades of pot to effectively care for themselves..

Is Guyana in Guyana? The Bad Gyal President hasn't tweeted since November 22nd and fans are wondering what happened to her. Guyana argurably released this best project this year, entitled, Smokin' The Competition and she did just that with the 23 tracks on the mixtape. The quality of music on the project surpassed many others, but yet has not received the praise from the hip hop community that it deserves. Make sure to search Guyana on the site for plenty of info about the rapper/singer.

Scottish Heavy Athletics 2014
This is the first year that Scottish Heavy Athletics will be included in the Sedona Celtic Harvest Festival. Athletics are a key part of the Scottish/Celtic festival and are a tradition which dates back more than 150 years in the New World, and to the beginning of recorded history in Scotland. With the inclusion of Athletics in Sedona, Arizona it now has 5 Athletic competitions held annually. Other games in Arizona include Phoenix, Prescott, Flagstaff, and Tucson. Scottish Athletics are competitions of strength and skill, and involve groups of men and women throwing heavy weights, stones, and poles for distance, or for height. The games can be thought of as similar to the Olympic decathlon, in which several events are contested and the winner is the individual who has scored the best in the most disciplines.
The distance events include two stone throw/put events, two weights thrown for distance, and two hammer throws. Competitors also throw a heavy weight (28 pounds for women, 42 pounds for men's lightweight masters, and 56 pounds for open men) over a bar similar to one used in pole vaulting.
The signature event of the games is the caber toss. A caber is a wooden pole between 12 and 20 feet in length. The caber is picked by the thrower who holds the tapered end in their hands with the pole leaning against their shoulder. After a short run the competitor will attempt to turn the caber. Scoring (unlike other events) is not dependent on the distance thrown, but on the alignment of the pole after the turn.
Other than wearing a kilt there are no requirements to complete in the games.

Daniels gets reins on budget | POLL
Plan is to deal before special session
INDIANAPOLIS - Gov. Mitch Daniels will propose his preferred version of a state budget, and a panel of legislative leaders will have time to consider it before he calls the General Assembly back for a special session in mid-June.
Daniels, Senate Majority Leader David Long, R-Fort Wayne, and House Speaker Patrick Bauer, D-South Bend, have agreed on a timeline to complete most of the work of crafting the state's next spending plan outside of a costly special session.
<IF YOU GO>House Speaker Patrick Bauer and Senate Majority Leader David Long have announced a series of meetings leading up to the special session:
- Tuesday: Daniels administration fiscal experts will provide an update on Indiana's current financial situation to the State Budget Committee, a bipartisan panel separate from legislative committees that meets throughout the year.
- May 26: the Revenue Forecast Technical Committee, which projects state tax collections, will give the State Budget Committee a revised revenue forecast for how much the state will take in from July 1, 2009, to June 30, 2011. Lawmakers largely dismissed a forecast issued in April, and tax collections fell $255 million short of the projection's mark for that month — a trend Daniels says will continue.
- June 1: The Daniels administration will present its budget to a subcommittee that includes 12 lawmakers. That subcommittee will meet from June 1 to June 15 to consider the governor's spending plan.
- Mid-June: Daniels would like to call the full Legislature back into special session around June 15. </IF YOU GO>
Because the General Assembly did not pass a budget by its April 29 deadline to adjourn, Daniels now must call lawmakers back for a special session before the current budget expires June 30. If they don't have a new spending plan by then, most of state government likely will shut down.
Under the agreement Long and Bauer announced Thursday, legislators first will receive a new state revenue forecast, then it will be up to Daniels to set their starting point by offering his budget proposal.
Daniels said "this process, by facing the reality of our revenue shortfall, should produce a far more responsible, pro-taxpayer result than the Legislature was headed for last week."
In January, the governor proposed the basic framework of the budget he wanted, but left it to lawmakers to hammer out the details.
The result was a budget House Republicans said spent too much, Democrats said spent too little on education, and Daniels said spent $1 billion too much. It was approved by the Senate but not the House.
After the session adjourned amid confusion over what the governor wanted, both Republicans and Democrats called on Daniels to offer his full budget, complete with an education funding formula — the most contentious item in the spending plan legislators were considering.
"The governor will have every chance to detail his priorities in funding, tell us where he wants to see cuts and clarify the role he feels federal stimulus dollars will have in helping us write a state budget during tough economic times," Bauer said.
Senate Appropriations Chairman Luke Kenley, R-Noblesville, said if lawmakers can't agree on a budget slim enough to meet Daniels' demands, then the sides will have to pass a budget, and the governor will have to use his power to trim it as he sees fit.
Special sessions cost taxpayers $75,400 every five-day week in legislative pay and travel expenses.

A goal by Fabian Estoyanoff six minutes from the end guided Penarol to the semi-finals of the Copa Libertadores after they claimed a 3-2 aggregate win over Universidad Catolica on Thursday.
The Uruguayans were 2-0 down in Chile with the game heading for a penalty shoot-out before the former Valencia forward converted a cross by Luis Aguiar in the 84th minute to send his side into their first semi-final for 23 years where they will face Velez Sarsfield of Argentina.
Fernando Meneses and Roberto Gutierrez had put Catolica ahead but goalkeeper Paulo Garces failed to catch Aguiar's cross and the visitors progressed.
Penarol coach Diego Aguirre said: "We played looking for one goal since the first minute. But we couldn't find it until the end. We created several chances, but we couldn't score and we suffered a lot. Luckily there was justice at the end.
"As a Penarol fan, I'm happy for living this, putting the team in a Copa Libertadores definition again. There are left only the best four teams in the continent and Penarol is one of them. We have to be proud of that."
In Paraguay, Cerro Porteno secured a 1-0 victory on the night, 2-1 on aggregate, over Jaguares of Mexico, Pedro Benitez hitting the winner with 20 minutes left. Cerro Porteno will now play Brazil's Santos in the other semi-final.

According to what has become a legendary tale among American literature scholars, Tillie Olsen discovered "Life in the Iron-Mills" (see note) in an old issue of bound Atlantic Monthly magazines she found in an Omaha junkshop when she was fifteen. Indeed, referring to it as "a forgotten American classic", Olsen declared in 1972, "No reader I encountered had ever heard of the story" (Foreword; Notes 158). Although she deserves credit for her astute evaluation, valuable research, and timely recovery of Rebecca Harding Davis's story, Olsen herself does not claim to have discovered anything; instead, she uses the term "introduced" when describing an early discussion …

Fresno's "Hells Angels Motorcycle Club" members revved up their hogs for a good cause Saturday.
The organization is showing their giving spirit by collecting and delivering toys and blankets for Fresno's Poverello House
The Poverello House is a nonprofit that's been serving the hungry and homeless in Fresno since 1973.
This is the twelfth annual toy run.
The toys will be distributed on Christmas morning.
Last year Poverello House gave away more than four thousand toys on Christmas morning to local children in need.
Merl Hefferman, the Hells Angels Secretary, says "we believe these kids are our future. And we wanna make sure that us riding bikes bring these toys out here for the kids to have a great Christmas."
Poverello House now serves approximately 1,200-1,400 meals a day.

Illustration: More illustration from Laura Carlin to remind you that you're human
How's this for some brilliant and yet innately human illustration? Since studying at the Royal College of Art Laura has drawn for a whole host of publications including Vogue, The Guardian and The Independent, and is a dab hand with a chunk of clay too, as her ceramics go to show (we featured a couple back in 2011). It's her illustration that gets us going though. Honing in on a single melancholy gaze or the panic-stricken faces of a whole airplane full of passengers, Laura's ability to convey a plethora of emotion through the smallest of marks is not to be sniffed at, combining childlike naivety with a sentimental awareness which had led her to this treasure chest full of lovely work. More please Laura!

The relatively new but nonetheless popular camera app KitCam has recently received another update.
Roughly ten days after it got its 1.3 update, which brought various improvements, KitCam has already come across its 1.4 update.
While KitCam's latest update is clearly not as huge as the previous one, it does bring a neat expansion pack called Film Noir.
The Film Noir pack comprises three new films, one lens, and four frames. As the pack's name suggests, you can use these to make your photos look like they're straight out of a dark thriller or detective film.
The three new films are, as expected, black and white, and they provide medium to high contrast. They are called GB XR3, GB Theta, and GB KC5.
For its part, the new lens adds soft film grain and an adjustable vignette to your photos. It's called DeCarlo.
If you can't see the video embedded above, please click here.
And then there's the set of four new frames ideal for black and white photos. They're called Pinot, Blanche, Harman, and Victor.
The three films, one lens, and four frames in the Film Noir pack are all available via a $1.99 in-app purchase.
Also including several bug fixes, KitCam 1.4 is available now in the App Store as a free update or as a new $1.99 download.
In our original review, Christine Chan deemed KitCam "a worthy and complete iPhone photography solution." And after earning an honorable mention in our AppAdvice App of the Week feature, it went on to be one of our Top 10 Paid iPhone Apps for 2012.

|B.C. Ministry of Forests
Forest Science Program
|Abstract for Working Paper 53
Construction and Testing of an Inexpensive PAR Sensor
|Authors or Ministry Contacts: P. Fielder and P. Comeau
|Branch: Research
|Subject: Equipment
|Series: Working Paper
|Other details: Published 2000.
Detailed studies of light in forest canopies typically require a large number of light sensors. However, the high cost of commercially available sensors can make such studies very expensive. This report describes the construction and testing of a practical, rugged, and inexpensive sensor for measuring photosynthetic photon flux density. Detailed instructions are provided for assembly and calibration. The sensor was made from a gallium arsenide phosphide (GaAsP) photodiode held within a protective casing of acrylic and aluminum. The LI-190 Quantum Sensor (LI-cor Inc.) was used as a standard for comparison. The stability of the GaAsP sensor compared favourably with the LI-190 during a 24-month open-sky test. Results from nine GaAsP sensors exhibited signal drift of 3–23%, and from four LI-190 quantum sensors of 5–18.5%. The GaAsP sensors generally drifted by <6% over a single season except for one of the Type 1 sensors (#42) that displayed intermittent signal drift. Open-sky daily calibration coefficients of GaAsP Types 2, 3, and 4 showed that about 95% of the data points were within 2–4% of the mean for June to September 1998, and within 3–10% of the mean for January to November 1999. Data variability almost doubled during the wetter months and Type 1 (#41 and #42) sensors were particularly affected. GaAsP (Types 2 and 3) and LI-190 sensors exhibited similar signal drift beneath a canopy as in the open-sky test. Daily calibrations made beneath the canopy were variable over the season, suggesting that care should be taken in making in situ calibrations. Field testing beneath a birch canopy indicated that, compared to a quantum sensor (LI-190), one GaAsP sensor had a spectral response error of <7% in the densest canopy. Recommended sensor care includes minimizing contact with humidity, frequent calibration (pre- and post-season), frequent field checks, and regular maintenance, including diffuser cleaning. Low cost may make these sensors desirable for studies that require a large number of sensors.
