Based on the true-life story of Captain Richard Phillips, who was taken hostage by armed Somali pirates, attempted to escape and was eventually rescued by the U.S. Navy. The film will retell the events that garnered headlines worldwide in April. After his ship was hijacked on the high seas, Phillips surrendered himself to the pirates in order to protect his crew. The married father of two made one unsuccessful escape attempt before an elite squad of Navy SEAL snipers shot and killed three of the four pirates — an action authorized by President Obama. A fourth pirate surrendered and is in custody.

2013 Guide Analysis: "One of the highest profile contemporary dramas of next year, "Bourne" film series director Paul Greengrass brings his signature shaky-cam style to this true story tale which actually would suit the technique quite well. That story? The hijacking of the cargo ship MV Maersk Alabama by Somali pirates in 2009. This could well be a serious awards contender next year considering it has Scott Rudin, Michael DeLuca and Kevin Spacey as producers; a script by "Shattered Glass" and "Breach" scribe Billy Ray; and Tom Hanks in the title role.
While it was the sixth vessel in a week to be attacked by the Somali pirates that roam the Gulf of Aden, the takeover of the Maersk Alabama was the first successful pirate seizure of a ship registered under the American flag since the early 19th century. Using Captain Richard Phillips' memoir "A Captain's Duty" as the basis for the script, the film deals with the tense five-day stand-off between the four armed invaders and the crew, a stand-off that saw Phillips offer himself as hostage in exchange for the safety of his crew. Ultimately a daring high-seas rescue saw U.S. Navy SEALs take down three of the captors.
Sony Pictures picked up the film rights to the incident literally a month after it happened so a movie was inevitable. Unlike say this year's "Zero Dark Thirty," the subject matter has nothing really to do with politics and so avoids some of the thorny issues and partisanship that comes with portraying contemporary U.S. military operations. Greengrass' work on "United 93" showcased how good he can be with tense real life incidents like this. Shot in Morocco, Malta and Massachusettes, the film is scheduled for an international release in October."

Jonathan Toews, Blackhawks grant a wish for four-year-old
This is really, really cool.
The Chicago Blackhawks and Pittsburgh Penguins were preparing for an outdoor game at Soldier Field on Friday -- the night before the game -- when Chicago captain Jonathan Toews brought a special guest onto the ice.
That skater? None other than a cancer-stricken four year old named Nicholas Skretkowski, wearing a No. 19 jersey with the Captain's 'C' on the sweater's front -- S-K-R-E-T-K-O-W-S-K-I across the back.
Make-A-Wish put the whole evening together for the boy, who has a medical condition called Wilms' tumor and strabismus, according to NHL.com.
"It was great ... not just to be out on the ice with him, but to have him in here with the guys," Toews told NHL.com.
"He seemed a little shy at first, but then kind of got more comfortable. Someone asked him about his favorite team and his favorite players. He seemed like he knew a lot for a little guy."

-- Robert Preidt
TUESDAY, Nov. 23 (HealthDay News) -- Long-term use of
cholesterol-lowering statins does not increase the risk of liver
disease in patients with abnormal liver function, and can actually
improve liver function, according to a new study that challenges
widespread belief.
The researchers also pointed out that this study is the first to
show that statins provide a substantially greater cardiovascular
benefit in patients with abnormal liver function than in those with
normal liver function.
The study, published in the Nov. 24 online edition of
The Lancet, included 437 patients with moderately abnormal liver tests believed to have non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. Statins were given to 227 patients, while the other 210 (the control group) received no treatment.
After three years of follow-up, the patients taking statins did
not have a higher rate of liver problems than those in the control
group. In addition, levels of alanine aminotransferase (ALT) -- a
biomarker of liver problems -- decreased or normalized in the
patients taking statins but worsened in the control group.
The investigators also found that patients with abnormal liver
tests who took statins had a 39 percent to 68 percent reduced risk
of cardiovascular events such as heart attack and stroke.
"The risk-to-benefit ratio of long-term statin treatment (mainly with atorvastatin in this study) favors statin administration even for patients with moderately abnormal liver tests," Vasilis Athyros, of the Hippokration University Hospital in Thessaloniki, Greece, Dr. Dimitri Mikhailidis, of University College London in the United Kingdom, and colleagues concluded.

A Lehigh Acres man was sentenced to seven years in federal prison after pleading guilty to child pornography charges.
Robert Otting, 41, pleaded guilty in June to using file sharing programs to access child porn and creating fake Facebook accounts as a means to share it.
Homeland Security agents raided Otting's home in April after numerous tips from the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children tipline that pointed to Otting.
Investigators say he would often use the free WiFi at hotels to deal in child porn.
They found over 600 images and videos on his computer and cell phone of children engages in sex acts.
Otting will serve 15 years probation upon his release, and will have to register as a sex offender.
He will also forgeit his laptop, dell phone and a hard drive he was using to access and share the child porn.

Players, coaches and management expressed optimism about the coming season Monday afternoon, when the Utah Jazz held their annual media day at the team's practice facility.
Nineteen players are currently on the preseason roster, including veteran guard Raja Bell.
After a feud with coach Tyrone Corbin last season, Bell and the Jazz agreed he would not attend training camp as the sides discuss his contract situation.
Among the players in camp are newly acquired veterans Mo Williams, Marvin Williams and Randy Foye. All are expected to be part of Corbin's regular rotation when the regular season starts.
"We've made some exciting new additions to the team," CEO Greg Miller said. "All those moves have been very positive. They make us a better franchise and, ultimately, they will help us win more games."
Veteran forward Paul Millsap, the longest tenured player on Utah's roster, agreed.
"This franchise," he said, "is headed in the right direction."
Along with the new players, Dennis Lindsey was named the Jazz's general manager in August, with Kevin O'Connor retaining a role as the team's executive vice president of basketball operations.
"I'm very optimistic," Lindsey said. "We've had a good offseason. ... We want Utah Jazz basketball to be about what it's always been about -- competing hard, doing our best and striving for excellence and I'm impressed right now."
The Jazz begin two-a-day practices Tuesday morning. Their preseason opener is Monday night at Golden State.

Will mind-reading eventually become a reality and what are the implications for humanity?
This week in my bioelectricity class, we learned about using electrical stimulation to mimic the electrical signals of the body. The nervous system uses electrical signals as it performs its tasks of communicating, processing information, storing memories, etc. As we learn more about the language of the nervous system, we can use advanced technology to "speak" to the body and get it to perform tasks that the body's nervous system might not be able to do. Neural prosthetics, for instance, provide electrical stimulation to the nerves that are connected to muscles, allowing those muscles which were paralyzed to move again.
As we learn more information about the "language" of the nervous system, science has begun to correlate certain actions or stimuli with specific frequencies and behavioral patterns of electrical activity in the brain. For example, many scientists studying the visual system look at firing rate patterns in the visual cortex of the brain and use the data to predict the images that are being seen.
Ultimately this reverse correlation process might be able to be applied to all parts of the brain, including memory.
This led me to wonder, do you think that there will ever be a time where we will literally be able to read people's brains? If we can one day understand how the brain processes every bit of information – then theoretically we should be able to measure the electrical activity from the deep layers of the brain and be able to predict what the person is thinking. And also in the reverse direction – what would happen if we could ever be able to use electrical stimulation to "insert" memories into people's brains?
Do you think this technology could be useful for treating patients with dementia who have lost their memories – in which patients could create a "back-up" file of their own memories in case they ever start to lose it? What implications would such technology have on humanity? And do you see ways in which it could be detrimental/beneficial?

Apr 22 2013: Hi Lauren,
Thank you for this interesting topic. I have some questions/issues/problems/worries that I'd like to post:
1. Neural prosthetics, a positive development in itself, aside for a minute... Let's concentrate on the brain and brain alone... Do people with different kind of dementia want to have their memories installed back? How do you determine if they do or do not if regular contact with such patients is obviously limited? If you, by some means and methods, can determine that they do want this - which memories should you chose? One should never forget that some studies show that the mentally handicapped tend to be the happiest people on the planet, if not made aware of their handicap or otherness by cruel means of isolation or bullying... I'm referring to studies on autism and Down syndrome, but not only that, I'm also thinking about my personal observation of my 92-year-old grandmother with severe Alzheimer... She would throw herself at a pile of candy as a 5-year-old would and 10 minutes later she would... recite poems in Greek and Latin that she had to learn as a young girl at a border school in 1920's... While doing all that she seemed happy, although she did not remember or was able to recognise her children, she did not know who I was or that I was the daughter of her 9th son... Would she be happier if she could remember WWII anew? On the other hand, maybe downloading her memories would benefit historical and sociological studies. But would it benefit her to get them back?
2. To find out whether inserting memories, reading minds or having a backup copies of memories is beneficial, you probably need to consult not only doctors, psychologists or sociologists, but also philosophers and sci-fi writers.
Best wishes.
Apr 23 2013: Anna brings up some great points!
experiments involving memory especially have a lot of gray area. Can we remove someone's bad memories if it will make them happier (PSOD?) can we download memories of a witness in a murder trial? Of course these questions arent so important until such things are possible, but as Lauren states, this technology may very well be on the horizon!
With the Brain Mapping project proposed by President Obama, we will surely see very big advancements connected to brain activity and it will remain to be seen what the ramifications may be and how humanity responds.
Maybe Alison is right and its time to break out the aluminum foil hats.

LA CROSSE, Wisconsin (WXOW) - A winter storm warning is in effect until 6 PM Wednesday for as much as 6" to 8" snow for much of the region. Lesser amounts will fall in the northwestern parts of the viewing area.
Temperatures today reached up into the 40s but have slipped back into the 30s and overnight should fall through the 20s. In the meantime a storm to the southwest will move in and generate rain, sleet and freezing rain this evening, quickly changing over to snow.
Roads will get slick with several inches of snow by morning and a few more again after sunrise. In addition blowing snow will get worse as northwesterly winds increase later tonight and tomorrow. Winds will gust up to 30 miles per hour and keep roads slick and dangerous in many areas.
Accumulating snow should be over by Wednesday afternoon and blowing snow will be the headliner in the afternoon. Falling temperatures into the teens in the afternoon will remind us that winter is far from being over.
Temperatures in the wake of the storm will mean highs in the mid single digits on Thursday and slightly warmer on Friday. Highs will get back to normal by the end of the weekend and early next week. Enjoy your evening and drive safely if you have to be out and about.

More than any other day in the calendar year, April 1st requires a lot of us to be on our p's and q's to differentiate the legitimate news events from the ones that have, shall we say, mischief written all over them.
This one appears to be the latter.
Peugeot UK has come out with a video highlighting their latest revolutionary concept: "mood paint." Described as a reactive paint that changes its color depending on your emotions, the mood paint was developed by Peugeot technicians who used psychochromatic coating to alter the molecular structure of the paint to emit light at varying wavelengths. From there, heat sensors were put on the Peugeot RCZ' s steering wheel, which then reads the driver's body temperature and pulse rate to change the car's body color.
According to Vince Clisham, Peugeot's project manager, the mood paint is a "world first for motoring."
"To have developed a paint that accurately reflects the emotion of the driver, will no doubt have our competitors green with envy," he adds.
Check out the video of Peugeot's mood paint demonstration and tell us if this is legit or an April Fools prank from the French automaker.

Water Conservation
Water is California's most precious natural resource. How we manage it today will affect nearly every aspect of our future.
When our state enjoys a year of abundant rain and our reservoirs are full, it is easy to think that our water supply is endless. But in California, the next drought may be just around the corner. After three consecutive dry years, California is now experiencing a serious drought. We simply cannot afford to waste any water.
No meetings scheduled at this time.

The reason PS4 is going to do better is that people like me who supported the xbox and xbox 360 are just sick of Microsoft. The fact that Sony supported and continued to support the PS2 until this year and still will support the PS3 even when the PS4 comes out is really appealing to me. I am not some play station fanboy i was an avid supporter of the xbox 360 this whole generation but just got sick of Microsoft. I guarantee that some of the exclusive titles showcased will eventually go multi platform with future installements if you dont believe me look at bioshoke and mass effect both were originally xbox exclusives. Thirdly i doubt microsoft will create any new ips for the xbox one instead it will most likely create more installments in the exclusives that it starts off with, again if you dont believe me look at gears of war, halo and fable they have been saturated to the point where they have gotten bad(except for halo as halo 4 was a great and fresh take on master chief and his journey). Dont get me wrong microsoft has a great gaming product but the thing is they dont focus on gaming they focus on a family entertainment system im not going to buy an xbox if its just going to be another expensive dvd player. Sony has literally won me over and halo isn't enough for me to shell out $500

It was on the red line sale and I liked the coral color. This was strictly an impulse buy. So I didn�t read the description prior to buying it, so when I got it I was a bit surprised it was goldtone not silvertone. But I still liked it and kept it. I have had a lot of complements on it.
I ordered this product to give to a girlfriend as a gift. It looked so cheap that I was embarrassed to give it to her and I had to run out and buy something else last minute. I ended up giving this to my cousin who is a news anchor. She wears it on the news against dark shirts for a pop of color--it looks great from a distance.
I love this necklace. I got the black one and I always get compliments.
I purchased the Coral and gold set to accent a dress for a cruise. The set is perfect.

Rangers-Taylor Pyatt: A somewhat unheralded off-season acquisition---especially with most Blueshirts observers focused on the Rick Nash trade---Taylor Pyatt has quickly won trust and praise from head coach John Tortorella. A big, smart veteran winger, Pyatt has scored two goals in the first three games of the season, both by going hard to the net---exactly what you want your big men to be doing consistently. Pyatt crashed the crease to redirect a pass into the cage Sunday against the Penguins, and then stationed himself in front of the Bruins net to score on a rebound in the second period last night. In addition his play along the wall and on the forecheck have been exemplary, so far, and his defensive play has been solid. Pyatt plays a big role against a big, physical Flyers team this evening, no matter if he stays on the second line---where he finished up on Wednesday---or skates in his more accustomed third-line role.
Flyers-Ilya Bryzgalov: Philly is desperate for a victory tonight, plain and simple, and with such a banged-up depleted lineup, Bryzgalov may have to outduel Henrik Lundqvist and steal a win for the Flyers. Of course that means that Bryzgalov will have to play much better than he has so far this season where he has produced just a .902 save percentage. of course his teammates have not played particularly well in front of him, but the eccentric netminder is paid handsomly to produce big-time performances even when his team is struggling. Bryzgalov also is looking to put a strange 2011-12 campaign behind him, one in which he did win 33 games, but also seemed very shaky at times and finished with only a .909 save percentage.

Two Conventions Down, No Signs of Quick Help for the JoblessBy Jim Tankersley, National Journal
The voters demand action on jobs, and on Thursday night, the incumbent president running amid the worst election-year labor market in modern American history responded with the following: A bloody evisceration of his opponent's economic philosophy. ("Feel a cold coming on? Take two tax cuts, roll back some regulations, and call us in the morning!")Read more from National Journal
In Democratic convention speech, Obama vows 'our problems can be solved' — with more timeBy Dan Balz and David Nakamura, The Washington Post

Dispatches From the Democratic National ConventionBy John Dickerson, Slate
In 2008, if Barack Obama's outdoor convention speech had been moved inside, he still would have raised the roof. When he was denied the chance to speak in the elements at Bank of America stadium this week, the closed venue seemed fitting. Obama's speech to the 2012 Democratic National Convention, like his presidency, has a lid on it. It was workmanlike from a president who had to strain with the reality of being in office. "The times have changed," he said, "and so have I." At his 2008 address in Denver, audience members cried at the end of his speech. Tonight, one delegate said Biden had been more inspiring. Another said Bill Clinton's speech was the one she would be sending around to barber shops and beauty parlors.Read more
Two conventions tell the tale of 2012By John F. Harris and Jim Vandehei, Politico

Verdict is in: Obama levels more personal attacksBy John F. Harris and Alexander Burns, Politico
A crabby, negative campaign that has been more about misleading and marginal controversies than the major challenges facing the country? Barack Obama and Mitt Romney can both claim parenthood of this ugly child.Read more
Platforms reveal deep divide on hot-button issuesBy Major Garrett, National Journal
While the economy dominates this presidential election, issues such as abortion, immigration, regulation, and—in a sudden and startling reversal of Democratic platform language—God and Israel, have added a dose of intrigue to the conventions.Read more from National Journal
Biden's speech likely to spotlight strengths, or foiblesBy Peter Baker, The New York Times
Folksy and loose, passionate and sometimes off script, Vice President Joseph R. Biden Jr. arrives onstage Thursday night as the president's most important political partner, policy enforcer, conscience, scold and occasional albatross.Read more
4 years later, scarred but still confidentBy Peter Baker, The New York Times
He warned them in 2008, and when he formally opened his re-election campaign in May, he put it in his speech again. He will "never be a perfect president," he said, a line he now repeats at stop after stop. The unspoken subtext: It's not my fault if you didn't listen or expected too much.Read more

Cramer's 'Mad Money' Recap: A Market of Mixed Signals
Regeneron's macular degeneration drug Eylea is a great success, said Schleifer. The product launched in early 2012 and Schleifer noted that analysts first thought the company would sell $100 million worth of the drug. Later the estimates were raised to a few hundred million dollars, then $500 million. Regeneron is now expected to sell $750 million of Eylea this year and the company only has 14% market share.
Schleifer said that unlike Eylea's chief rival, his company's drug only needs to be given half as often. Since macular degeneration drugs must be given as a direct injection in the eye, it's easy to see why patients prefer Eylea over the competition.
Cramer said the story remains strong at Regeneron, and even after the company's huge move higher "it's not done yet."
Riding the Bull
"Always keep an eye out for the next bull market," Cramer told viewers. The theme park business is one such opportunity.Cramer said the first clue theme parks might be a good bet came from Walt Disney (DIS), which reported operating income up at its theme parks by 20%. Next, it was Comcast (CMCSA), which owns the Universal chain of parks. There too, growth was strong. This theme park bull market came full circle when pure-plays Cedar Fair (FUN) and Six Flags (SIX) reported strong results as well. Cramer said he's a fan of both Six Flags, which operates 19 parks across the U.S., and Cedar Fair, which now totals 11 parks. Shares of Cedar Fair are up 98%, including dividends, since Cramer featured the company in 2011 and it still sports a 5% dividend yield. When the company last reported, it surprised Wall Street with a 25 cent-a-share earnings beat and stayed true to its promise of raising its dividend. Six Flags is also on fire, said Cramer, as that company saw 12% earnings growth. Six Flags sports a 4.2% dividend. Cramer said both companies are pure plays on the theme park business and are 100% domestic with no exposure to Europe. Both companies are investing in new rides and attractions, which are sure to cheap consumers coming back for more with lower gas prices.

Mosaic Project
In the Gallery
Contact Us
It's two days full of art for students from area middle schools and high schools.
On Friday, October 5, Lorenzo Hurtado Segovia, one of two artists featured in this year's Mosaic Project, will meet with students from two local high schools to discuss his work and life as a working, successful artist.
Then at 10 a.m., these same students will be joined by the public and the PCA&D community for an artist talk by Hurtado Segovia. Afterwards, there'll be lunch and a drawing workshop.
As part of Lancaster's First Friday, PCA&D's Main Gallery will be open from 5 - 9 p.m. for a public reception of the exhibit "The Mosaic Project: R. Gregory Christie and Lorenzo Hurtado Segovia."
Hurtado Segovia's large scale woven paper paintings reference abstract painting in the tradition of Mondrian, Scottish tartan plaids, religious tapestries and pixelated screens. The work of this Mexican born artist is compelling in beauty and craftsmanship. Each piece is imbued with a playful quality of improvisation as well as fresh and refined color palettes.
But the art-filled days don't end there. On Saturday morning, October 6, Hurtado Segovia will work with students from two local middle schools for one session of their eight-week studio art class. The class focuses on themes of the Mosaic Porject: individual discovery, and ethnic and cultural diversity.
The 2012 Mosaic Project also includes R. Gregory Christie, who, in additon to having his work featured in the exhibit, will visit PCA&D on November 2 to present an artist talk, book signing, and meet the public during the gallery reception. Christie will also work with middle school students on Saturday morning, November 3, in a manner similar to Hurtado Segovia's visit on October 6.
Watch pcad.edu/news for details.
Christie is a three time Coretta Scott King Honor Award winner for his children's book illustrations. He is dedicated to, in his own words "depicting distinctive images of brown people. I choose to illustrate manuscripts that shed light upon historical figures and give a sense of dignity to the many cultures on this planet." His use of bold color complements his unique figurative style, creating illustrations that are visually compelling and thought provoking.
The exhibit "The Mosaic Project: R. Gregory Christie and Lorenzo Hurtado Segovia" continues through Wednesday, November 21, 2012
Gallery hours: M-F from 8 a.m. - 4:30 p.m.; open Saturdays during the school year; First Friday's until 9 p.m.; and ArtWalk weekend.
The Mosaic Project is a multicultural exhibition and educational program for students and families in Lancaster County, and is funded in part by a grant from the Lancaster County Community Foundation.

A man was killed and a young child was wounded in a shooting in Seat Pleasant, police said.
Shortly after 10 a.m. Wednesday, Seat Pleasant police officers went to the 6800 block of Seat Pleasant Drive and found two shooting victims. One of the victims, a 25-year-old man, was pronounced dead at the scene. The other victim, a young child, was taken to a hospital with non-life threatening injuries, Prince George's County police spokesman Lt. Bill Alexander said.
According to a preliminary investigation, the man was targeted by two males who fled in a black, four-door BMW with Maryland license plates, Alexander said. There is no evidence that the child was also targeted.
The relationship between the man and the child was unclear. Alexander was not releasing the child's age or gender.

text: How hard can it be to round up six or seven of our all-time favorite Japanese '90s supercars and throw them on the track for a day of hot laps and quarter-mile runs? All we want to see is how these highly-tuned old dogs hold up against the Newbie EVO and STi. We even brought out an EVO III to see whether it was a matter of technology or age. Apparently, making all this happen borders on the impossible. The problems we encountered just finding tuned examples of these cars that haven't imploded on themselves or been turned into stripped-down racecars should have indicated how painful this endeavor would be. We scoured the West Coast for examples of these cars and came up with a decent collection. And then half of them broke and dropped out. Even after finding the cars and multiple replacements, we had to make sure they held together long enough to make it to the event, last through several hot laps, and survive a few quarter-mile runs and dyno pulls so that we could have a story. We've had four make-up sessions thus far. Willow Springs RacewayIt's rare that we do testing at Willow Springs Raceway in Rosamond, California. Known as the fastest track in the west, Big Willow has a reputation for silly speeds and nasty wrecks. But since these big-power two-wheel drive supercars would get slaughtered by the all-wheel drive compacts on a tight, low-speed course, we chose a track where they would be in their element. There are no low-speed corners through the 2.4 miles of Willow Springs. It starts with the 80-mph Corner 1 and transitions to the constant radius Corner 2. After charging uphill into the Omega and back down the string of corners in sector 3, the speeds get higher on the back of the track. Things get fast in the flat-out dash through sector 3-4 and into the number 4 sweeper. Some cars will hit over 110 mph on this section. At the end of turn 4, its hard onto the brakes to set up for a late apex through the tighter last corner and then back on the gas for an all-out speed run down the front straight. The Supra and the 3000GT both pegged 144 mph here before getting on the brakes to enter Corner 1. The Old School cars should have kicked ass here, but most came on era-appropriate rubber that felt like all-season commuter tires compared to the R-compounds on the Newbie cars. While slower in the corners, almost all of the older cars were faster on the straights-more power or not. Even with the crappiest tires of the lot, both the EVO III and NSX posted respectable times compared to the big-horsepower, rear-drive bricks. The Newbies cleaned house with lap times at least two seconds faster than the rest. We had high hopes for the Galant and 3000GT, which came on Toyo RA-1s, but all the tire in the world won't make up for a car that will last only one lap, as in the case of the Galant, or running on only five out of six cylinders for the 3000GT. The Quarter-mileThis is where all the Old School boys got riled up. Back in the day, the 1320 was all that mattered, and this mentality seems to have stuck. Though tractable, the Supra and 300ZX, both of which could post jaw dropping times if we allowed slicks, were clearly set up to go straight instead of turn. The 3000GT ran the fastest of its three allowed passes with an 11.22 second e.t. with a massive misfire that killed its trap speed. The STi came in thrid, after the Z32, with its beefy clutch and all-wheel drive, the former of which the EVO lacked. Who knows what the results would have been if all the cars had good rubber and didn't break? 1 | 2 | » | View Full Article Enjoyed this Post?

From stores to neighborhoods, it's been a long week. The lights went out a day before the Fourth of July leaving fireworks as the only things to light up the night sky."I've been working 16 hours pretty much every day," said Delmar Batchelor.Guys like Batchelor from DTE Energy have had the tough job of not only fixing the wires in the air, but he's been taking the heat on the ground. What's taking so long? That's what neighbors are asking."We've been getting the job done and guys [have] been really [dedicated], coming in and being away from their family," he said.As soon as Batchelor could fix one problem, another storm followed July 5 turning the air conditioning and lights off again for days. At its peak, over 300,000 people were in the dark.130 jobs had DTE working to restore close to 5,000 homes and businesses as of Monday afternoon. The issue, whether 200 people or 30 without power, the workload is the same.One of the most frustrating parts for businesses and people is when some people have power and others don't. For instance, the 7-Eleven on Nine Mile in Ferndale has been out of juice for days whereas the Dairy Queen across the street is serving up cool treats and taking advantage of the outage. So what gives? DTE says there's an explanation for that."It is entirely possible that one side of the street, for example, would be fed from one circuit and the other side of the street is fed by a different circuit, and so it's the electric feed to each home, to each particular area," said DTE spokesperson Nanette Depriest.DTE is also stressing that its not just the people you see out on the lines that are visible. There are people who are working underground trying to repair some of the infrastructure to bring the lights back on to your house or store.

Olly olly oxen free is a phrase used in children's games, which is generally used to indicate that people who are hiding (in a game of hide and seek, for example) can safely come out into the open.

Thinker and Experimenter,
This conversation is closed.
How can overly empathetic/sympathetic people compete in this world? Do they eventually end up jaded and bitter?
The saying goes "nice guys finish last". I interpret that "nice" means overly empathetic/sympathetic people who sacrifice themselves for others happiness. Kindness seems to be a sign of weakness in that saying, as though people prey on those kind-hearted people. If it were true, then how do kind people compete in this world? Is it some kind of evolutionary Yin and Yang, where a balance of certain personalities need to exist for progress to happen or do people have peaks and troughs of kindness in them?
Update: Thought I'd share a fascinating article found in the comments below:
It is about the differences between being nice and being kind.
Closing Statement from Dyed All Hues
Thank you all for your well thought comments. I have learned a lot and I hope you've all taken some knowledge from this as well.
Be mindful of those around you and tread lightly on the paths made by your brothers and sisters of humankind.

Jan 28 2013: ...Empathy and sympathy are two different things...empathy makes you strong inside and sympathy helps others to travel through their difficult time...empathy belongs to understanding others and sympathy to just support...
...to me nothing can be overly in both...overly is the action taken, taking them as the basis...balance is only possible by doing the same with yourself...before taking decision be the same with yourself... create a similar empathy for yourself...see the things not from one end only...

Vanilla 1.1.2 is a product of Lussumo. More Information: Documentation, Community Support.
1 to 6 of 6
Never heard of the Brown Derby's Cobb salad being named after baseball great Ty Cobb. The story I had always heard is the one listed in wikipedia and dramatized in a Food Network program, that derby owner Robert H. Cobb put together the salad from whatever he could find in the kitchen after hours. No baseball mentioned.
It sounds like they mixed up their facts a bit, which isn't a surprise for Wikipedia. They got the Brown Derby part right, but given that the original menu item was called the Ty Cobb Salad (the name shortened over the years), its orgins are clear. The "after hours" customer was, of course, Ty Cobb. To add further confusion to the story, Ty Cobb and Bob Cobb were first cousins, so the erroneous conclusion based on the shortened name is understandable. You can find some scans of some Brown Derby menus on the Internet if you need to prove it to yourself.
Thank you for bringing that up -- I'll bet that a few others might have heard that slightly twisted version of the story.
even i was caught out by that for a minute, before i realised that wikipedia was bunkum and gullible.info (www.gullible.info if you couldnt find it) was the only real compilation of facts on the web
It seems like Cobb salad is awfully simple. Maybe multiple people "invented" it all at the same time. I haven't done any research into this, it's just a guess.
But you're probably right about wikipedia. It's probably just someone with an ax to grind against Ty Cobb.
watch curb your enthusiasm ;)
There are plenty of people with an ax to grind against Ty Cobb, apparently. He's in the top 10 most hated sports figures.

A bakery lowers prices to compete with outlets
Dollars & Sense readers know that I'm a fan of the Lofthouse bakery outlet in Fridley, which sells artisan loaves for only $1 per loaf. Several varieties are brought out each weekday in the no-frills dive of an outlet. Despite the humble digs, the breads, rolls and cookies are all winners.
But if you can't make it to Fridley during the week (Lofthouse is closed weekends), try Franklin Street Bakery in Minneapolis. It's open seven days a week (except Easter Sunday). A few weeks ago, the bakery lowered the price on all of its bread products to 99 cents, including loaves, buns, hoagies, ciabatta loaves, focaccia and others. The bakery decided to lower its regular $2.50 to $3.50 prices to 99 cents for an "extended but limited time" as its customers struggle with the recession, said manager Kristi Wilson. Each day three to six bread varieties are offered including Parisian baguettes, multi-grain, honey oat, cinnamon, and cranberry wild rice. Friday's offerings include wheat, white, sourdough, ciabatta loaves, and pull-apart rolls. The bakery has been a gem in the Phillips neighborhood since 2003. Go for the bread but check out the noteworthy desserts too.
I've also included a list of more traditional bakery outlets in the Twin Cities from my column last year.
