The lead reached 48 at its peak later in the second half.

See? This is what I'm talking about. The garbagey Skype chat between me and David Rees. How many cans and string make up my side of the video? The one with John Hodgman sounds like it was recorded at Skywalker Ranch in comparison.
I swear to God, I spent MONEY on my home setup. Rees is using the built-in laptop mic. Like a damned grandma. What is this sabotage? Is this what I can expect on that so-called "boat?"
I will have my revenge, Rees.

Pittsburgh, PA (Sports Network) - The Pittsburgh Penguins elected to file for salary arbitration with goaltender Marc-Andre Fleury.
As a result of the filing, the Penguins retain Fleury's rights and he will not become a restricted free agent on July 1.
Arbitration hearings are set by the National Hockey League and take place from July 20 to August 4. Both sides can continue to negotiate a contract until that time.
"By filing for salary arbitration it gives us extra time to continue to negotiate a contract with Marc-Andre," Pens general manager Ray Shero said. "As a result of the filing, Penguins' fans are assured that Marc-Andre will be under contract to our club for next season. Marc-Andre has done a tremendous job for us. We remain committed to negotiating a contract with him in the near future."
The 23-year-old Fleury, who finished last season 19-10-2 with a 2.33 goals- against average, helped lead the Penguins to the 2008 Eastern Conference championship and a berth in the Stanley Cup Finals. He was 14-6 with a 1.97 GAA in the playoffs.
In four career seasons after being selected by the Penguins first overall in the 2003 NHL Draft, Fleury is 76-67-19 with a 2.95 GAA.

Under the moon light I sat, thinking of the love
that we once had.Then one day it was over and
I didn't see him anymore.
The tears came rolling down my face, while my
soul was hurting inside. The moon saw me
and she too, started to cry.
Not knowing why - I asked - why and for what
reason do you cry? She told me - I too loved once
and lost, for our love could never be.
The Sun was too far away and with me - he couldn't
be. I understood how she felt and she understood too.
I will never forget the night that the moon cried with me...

Just what I was looking for This coverlet is perfect! After much searching, both online and in stores, I was thrilled to find one that was truly oversized. It covers my super thick mattress with room to spare so I am confident it will still be great even after washing. March 22, 2014
Finally!! After many failed attempts at finding the perfect king bed cover and shams, this was a home run. Quality is wonderful for the price and it looks great! Still haven't washed it but it's a little oversized so washing and drying shouldn't be a problem. May 14, 2013

As we edge ever closer to that perilous "fiscal cliff," with Republicans and Democrats accusing one another of intransigence, some observers have pointed to a way out of our national dilemma: Just take a page from Steven Spielberg's "Lincoln.''
The film tells the story of how the president managed to steer the 13th Amendment outlawing slavery through a House of Representatives that was not particularly hospitable to it. On the one side were Democrats who opposed outlawing slavery on the grounds that this would confer an equality that blacks did not and should not have. On the other side were conservative Republicans who felt that its passage would outrage the Confederacy and prompt it to prolong the war, with continued death and destruction. Neither side was inclined to compromise. So what was Lincoln to do?

The food onboard is top notch for the money we paid for this cruise. Princess cruises are a lot more expensive but the food is no better nor is the cabin service or table service. Decks are large and roomy. The staff go beyond to please you. Entertainment is great..we had a lady travelling with us who has taught theatrics for over 40 years on a college level in Portland Oregon. She was quite pleased with the performances and so were we.
We have a couple of negatives but nothing too serious. The first day on board our A\C was out of whack but they did manage to get it fixed before we baked. Also,I noticed that some of the furnishings on board are getting a bit worn and should be replaced soon. There are no flat screen TVs on board, but then again we didn't go cruising to watch TV. In my humble opinion the shore excursions are a bit pricey and disorganized for the quality of the tours, so we learned not to take them and just do our own thing which suited us better.
Positives? Too many to list....but the list topper would have to be the price \ value for the money spent and the enjoyment you get for that is hard to beat. The ship is not overcrowded\ hardly any screaming kids. The artwork\ decor\ glass elevators is incredible. The food in the Tiziano is pretty darned good from our experience cruising on other ships. The creme brulee was delicious. The table service could have been a bit better but we were told that our server Grace was new so we cut her some slack.
Over all we thoroughly enjoyed our cruise on board the Atlantica and hope to go do it again real soon.

Dog Rescued From Cistern Beneath House
February 28, 2012 by UPI - United Press International, Inc.
WAYNESBURG, Pa. (UPI) — Animal rescuers said a dog rescued from an unused cistern beneath a Pennsylvania home is believed to have been trapped for four days.
The Waynesburg Borough Police Department said residents of Lincoln Street thought the barking they had been hearing was coming from a neighbor's house until a man realized it was coming from beneath the porch of a home Monday and phoned the Greene County Humane Society, The (Washington, Pa.) Observer-Reporter reported Tuesday.
Jane Gapen, director of the humane society, said she assessed the situation and called police to help with the rescue.
Gapen and Officer Rob Toth were able to attach two leashes to the dog's ribs and rear end to lift her to safety.
"She is a beagle mix, so she might have been chasing a squirrel or a rabbit when she went under there," Gapen said. "We were also having a lot of wind this weekend, and she may have gone under there to get out of the wind."
Police said the owner of the home was unaware of the cistern's existence and pledged to secure the hole to make sure no more animals fall into it.
Gapen said the dog's tags identified her as Shelby, a 2-year-old beagle mix. She said officials are attempting to reach the canine's owner.

How to Play Friday's Earnings Reactions Long-term
Brian is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
We saw some big moves following earnings on Friday, and this leaves investors wondering what moves to make next. Therefore, I am looking at the biggest movers, explaining why they moved, and then what to do next.
QLogic Corp (NASDAQ: QLGC)
The most impressive reaction following earnings was most likely by QLogic. The stock is currently trading higher by almost 15% after beating expectations on both the top and bottom line. Furthermore, the company guided for next quarter revenue and EPS that was above consensus, sparking a rally in the oversold stock.
There's no denying the fact that QLogic did beat expectations, however the beat was not that impressive. It posted $119.4 million in revenue, a $2 million beat, and an EPS of $0.20, which was $0.02 above consensus. Therefore, I am not sure the reaction properly reflects the report. In addition, the company's revenue represents a 16% year-over-year loss due to storage adapter card and controller chip sales falling hard. With that being said, there's no way that I could buy after this jump, and do not see value in the stock.
Informatica (NASDAQ: INFA)
Much like QLogic, I don't understand the reaction following Informatica's earnings report. The stock jumped 11% with a massive top and bottom line beat but grew revenue by just 3% year-over-year. This is a company that is trading with a P/E ratio of 40 and a price/sales of 4.45, therefore an 11% jump on 3% revenue growth is a tough pill to swallow.
After further consideration it is possible that notes regarding Facebook being a buyer of its PowerCenter Big Data Edition and Microsoft's Server & Tools sales might have played a role in the reaction. This is a company that many believe has a lot of potential so possibly investors were reacting to other factors. At this point, I don't know, it's simply hard to justify, and not worth the risk.
Halliburton (NYSE: HAL)
While I didn't understand the reactions from Informatica and QLogic, to me, Haliburton's 5% gain made perfect sense. The company was expected to post an EPS of $0.61, but beat the number by $0.06 and also crushed top-line expectations by $230 million. This comes as a great surprise since everyone had already known that there would be weakness in the company's North American completion and production business. However, international growth is expanding far beyond expectations and the company now looks poised to continue this growth. Therefore, it might be a good buy for a company that looks fairly priced.
Starbucks (NASDAQ: SBUX)
Starbucks traded higher by 4% after reporting earnings that were in-line with expectations. The company saw revenue growth of 11% and comparable store sales that were 6% higher. While these numbers are good, it was strong growth in China, impressive K-Cup shipments, and encouraging guidance that pushed the stock higher. The company is now trading with a forward P/E ratio of 21.50 and a price/sales of 3.0, therefore it's not cheap. As a result, I think the stock is fairly valued, and would hold but not buy it, as we wait to see how Chinese growth will develop.
Procter & Gamble (NYSE: PG)
P&G's analysis is easy, I say buy it! This is a stock sitting at new 52-week highs, but remains undervalued with revenue growth of 3% year-over-year. The company raised guidance, beat both top and bottom line expectations, and most importantly, it did not whine about the effects of hurricane Sandy. This isn't a stock that is going to double in the next year, but it could return 15-20% with a 3.0% yield.
It's very important that investors be very careful when buying or selling after a company reports a market moving quarter. Far too often investors try to chase gains or get suckered in by the prospects of immediate returns. This is something that I have discussed in detail, and is a significant psychological point of weakness for many retail investors. Instead, perform thorough due diligence, read the earnings report without looking at the performance of the stock, and then make a decision as to whether it fits into your portfolio.

Last November, Ballmer was saying purchasing the search portion of Yahoo would be "interesting." This week, he's "very interested in getting some kind of deal going in search still," according to CNBC, and without them "Microsoft has no search strategy to speak of" (ouch!). Or, as we put it last month:
Microsoft just cut 5000 jobs and missed your Wall Street estimates. What are they going to do now? If you guessed they're going to Disney World, you're wrong. No, according to Steve Ballmer, they're looking to drop some big bucks on Yahoo search.
No wonder he's still asking for Yahoo's hand—or at least that of its search business, saying he wants to "somehow get together and find out how to provide more competition" to Google, as the NYT reports. Of course, every time he says the word Yahoo, YHOO's
heart stock has a fit of palpitations to the tune of a 5% jump.
Yahoo CEO Carol Bartz, however, has been far less stirred, much to the confusion and consternation of Ballmer and analysts alike. As CNBC puts it, the "lack of progress" is "surprising," and Microsoft has been "rebuffed" and "ignored" since Bartz came in as chief of Yahoo. "It is just stunning to these people that nothing has been done . . . and yet Yahoo continues to circle the wagons, wanting to go it alone."
Surprise, surprise—Yahoo doesn't want to tie itself to a company that's now admitting Apple is stealing its lunch, laying off people left and right . . . oh, wait, I guess that's no better than Yahoo's situation anyway.
But I think Jane Austen put the real reason that Ballmer and other analysts are "stunned" that Carol Bartz might want to keep the company she just took over all in one piece:
It is always incomprehensible to a man that a woman should refuse an offer of marriage.
What do you think—is Carol Bartz waiting for Yahoo's price to go up into a reasonable range with all of Ballmer's talk, or does she want to hang onto the search business for good?

Students and staff at Minneapolis South High School headed back to class Friday morning after a food fight escalated into a physical brawl involving hundreds of students Thursday.
According to the school, the fight began at about 12:45 p.m. and lasted 15 minutes while staff members responded. Minneapolis police also were called to the school after the two resource officers on campus were unable to contain the crowd.
The melee ultimately involved about 300 students and injured four people. Those injuries ranged from a twisted ankle to a staff member being hit in the head with a bottle Minneapolis police Sgt. William Palmer said the injuries the students suffered were not related to the fight.
"It sounded like it started in smaller groups and then it was one very large group of people pushing and shoving," Palmer said.
A SchoolMessenger call was made to parents on Thursday afternoon informing them of the incident.
"Fighting is not tolerated at our school or on school property," the school said in response to the incident via their website.
The school will remain on code yellow lockdown Friday, meaning students will have to stay in their classrooms during class periods and access to the building will be limited, but the school will operate on a normal schedule.
Minneapolis South administrators blame the incident on a food fight that got out of control, but others say it was ongoing tensions between Somali students and other students. The confrontation came to a boil just days after an article in the school paper about systemic discrimination.
"They're blaming a food fight, they're trying to cover it up," said South High junior Adnan Farah. "Don't cover up the story with a food fight. What does food have to do with this? This is a racial problem."
South High School is one of the most diverse in the city, with African American, Hispanic, Asian and Native American students. Somali students account for about 8 percent of the student body, but when it comes to racial tolerance, some say the school is anything but Minnesota nice.
"My daughter comes home and she tells me the things that go on at this school and she's scared," said Lynette Vizenor.
While the school has a new safety plan in place, there are no immediate plans to address the ongoing racial tensions the Somali students complained about.
No one was arrested, but police say they will study surveillance video to see if charges are warranted.

Political Science Pre-Law
"Any government is free to the people under it where the laws rule and the people are a party to the laws." William Penn "A government of laws, and not of men." John Adams
Program Description
The Department of Government offers a Pre-Law track in the Bachelor of Arts in Political Science and a Minor in Political Science Pre-Law. These programs are designed to give students a head start in their first year of law school.
To appreciate the value of our pre-law program, be it noted that in "Preparation for Legal Education" the American Bar Association declined to prescribe a particular major or even specific courses for students contemplating going to law school. Instead, it advised undergraduates to acquire generic language, research, and organizational skills, as well as knowledge of American history, government, and society; political theory, including theories of justice; philosophy and ethics; economics and business; and international relations. (See also "Advice for Getting Into Law School", by Prof. Daniel R. Pinello of the John Jay College of Criminal Justice, New York.)
Although there is no single undergraduate path to law school, it is not surprising that, nation-wide, the major of choice among students taking the LSAT is Political Science. This is because the study of government requires students to develop the very skills and to learn exactly the kind of knowledge mentioned by the ABA. At the University of West Florida, Political Science Pre-Law is a rigorous and rewarding program. Students take courses in political theory, American government, and constitutional law, as well as in history, economics, philosophy, literature, economics, communications, and statistics or computer science. They are required to do library research, read, analyze, and evaluate difficult material, and communicate their findings and conclusions clearly, both orally and in writing. Upon graduation, our majors successfully compete with those of other majors and institutions when it comes to the LSAT and admission to law school. Our graduates have gone on to study the law at Florida State University, the University of Florida, Stetson, as well as other schools in the Southeast.

Reasonable Expectations Review: Forwards 09-10
I'm tempted to suggest that the Oilers are an experiment gone terribly wrong at forward, but that would imply planning and a template. The fact is that the Edmonton Oilers appear to have gathered a bunch of guys with little regard to things like duplicate skills, range of skills, situation skills.
The result is a bunch of small players (more small players than I can recall in decades, maybe the original Oakland Seals had this many small forwards) and most of them still trying to establish themselves in the show. Small, same spot in the development curve, most of them ideal for the 5-7 slot in the batting order despite being best-suited to play first base defensively.
Lordy. What a mess.
- Hemsky: Predicted- 75gp, 24-66-90 (1.20)
- Hemsky: Actual- 22gp, 7-15-22 (1.00)
The projection isn't far off but of course the injury ended his season. Hemsky has missed almost 40 games now and is still tied for 6th in scoring among Oiler forwards. He was playing mid-level competition with good linemates when he went down, which would have been close to ideal for 83. I doubt Quinn returns for another year and if Renney takes over one expects Hemsky will be on the tough minutes unit again. A largely misunderstood player among the Oiler fanbase.
- Horcoff: Predicted- 71gp, 18-29-47 (.662)
- Horocff: Actual- 56gp, 9-14-23 (.411)
A small change for Horcoff this season, just to add to the degree of difficulty. He's still facing the toughest opponent game in-game out, but he no longer gets the best teammates (6th among forwards). I hope you've read this blog long enough to know that excuse making is not the order of the day, but Horcoff has played in incredibly poor luck this year. Just awful. He's also been injured for much of the season and to my eye has lost a step. Still, his Corsi relative to quality of opponent leads the team and I remain a believer. Tough sledding, though.
- Penner: Predicted- 80gp, 20-21-41 (.513)
- Penner: Actual- 61gp, 24-23-47 (.770)
You're not going to read this many times during this post, but Penner exceeded expectations by the season's halfway point. Unfortunately he hasn't done too much since then, but he remains the best Oiler for 09-10 overall. Penner's splits with/without Hemsky (25gp, 13-13-26 +10 the night Hemmer went down, 36gp, 11-10-21 -8 since) suggest he misses the skilled winger but his most recent 20 games (5-4-9 -10) have reminded us of the indifferent player that so galled MacT. The Big P is becoming the big riddle again.
- O'Sullivan: Predicted- 78gp, 28-28-56 (.717)
- O'Sullivan: Actual- 60gp, 10-20-30 (.500)
There's a concern here. O'Sullivan has been slipping for awhile now (before he was dealt here) and things aren't getting better. In the RE for the fall I wrote "players get traded for a reason and O'Sullivan was off the pace of his previous season." In 07-08 he had 16 EV goals, this season he's at 6. I'd hold onto him because there's no physical reason for this (age, injury) so it must be confidence and that can be turned around. Having said that, the Oilers lead the league in undersized skill men up front and we're on 100 games now with a fading pulse. Too bad.
- Gagner: Predicted- 78gp, 20-40-60 (.769)
- Gagner: Actual- 56gp, 14-21-35 (.625)
Not far off the pace and the kid usually closes well. He's got all kinds of positive arrows this year and by eye is looking more confident seemingly every game, especially since landing at center full time. His shooting is much better (not dangerous, but not flutter either) and he appears quicker. Gagner remains a cerebral player whose passing skills in close are ridiculous. He's playing with better linemates this season and the future appears bright, with possible wingers for 10-11 including Penner, Hall and Hemsky.
- Nilsson: Predicted- 70gp, 11-19-30 (.429)
- Nilsson: Actual- 43gp, 6-14-20 (.465)
Nilsson has covered the bet but still can't please the coach. Facing the soft parade with good linemates he can't seem to grab the NHL job that has been waiting for him since 2005. In the last two seasons, facing less than average opposition with good linemates, Nilsson's 5×5/60 offense has been 1.22 (08-09) and 1.36 (09-10). I don't think he'll return but have said it before and he's still here.
- Cogliano: Predicted- 82gp, 22-25-47 (.573)
- Cogliano: Actual- 61gp, 5-8-13 (.213)
Cogliano's season is contained Dylan's song "Ballad of a Thin Man ("something is happening here but you don't know what it is, do you, Mr. Jones?") and at this point I'm out of possible answers. Can he be so stubborn that he won't learn (as implied by Jim Matheson recently) the finer points of the game? Is he so addled that he doesn't know those things will keep him in the league longer? I think the team has decided to send him away because they've given up on him. It's very early in the game to do it, especially considering the patience shown with Robert Nilsson.
- Pisani: Predicted- 60gp, 14-14-28 (.467)
- Pisani: Actual- 22gp, 2-0-2 (.091)
Despite the plethora of bad seasons on this roster, very few players up front have long term health concerns or aging to worry over. Fernando Pisani is a player whose health and age suggest his skills may be eroding. He's certainly worth a draft pick at the deadline for penalty killing purposes, and I think the Oilers should consider bringing him back on a value contract. His Corsi relative to competition is solid and Desjardins tells us he is still facing the vaunt when healthy.
- Moreau: Predicted- 65gp, 12-11-23 (.354)
- Moreau: Actual- 60gp, 6-7-13 (.217)
Moreau is still facing the tougher competition and although the results aren't great a case can be made that he can help another team in a more defined role. I'm somewhat torn about Moreau, he was a loyal soldier (never the best player on the famous Marchant-Moreau-Grier line, he survived the other two because Lowe rewarded him) and at one time (I believe) a player with some value. However, we've reached a point where 'somebody poisoned the water hole' and it is time for him to go. Now.
- Pouliot: Predicted- 70gp, 10-15-25 (.357)
- Pouliot: Actual- 14gp, 2-2-4 (.286)
Pouliot was injured for much of the season, once again gassing a chance to establish himself with the team. However, upon his return the 2003 1st round pick has shown some things we haven't seen before and once again we have a feeling there might be a player there. Was extremely close to being a HS on February 1st, but Brule came down with the flu and Pouliot cashed 1-1-2 +2 and has been in the lineup ever since. Of course he's 7gp, 1-0-1 -4 in that time so the trials and tribulations of Pouliot are ongoing.
- Jacques: Predicted- 50gp, 3-7-10 (.200)
- Jacques: Actual- 49gp, 4-7-11 (.224)
Pretty close match. His AHL numbers implied a better player, and I wonder just how much better Pouliot's AHL numbers might have been without Jacques on his wing. Buddy lacks all kinds of NHL level skills (passing, taking a pass, positioning, it is a long list) and this might be his offensive level. Oilers have better options at the end of the roster.
- Brule: Predicted- 55gp, 7-8-15 (.273)
- Brule: Actual- 49gp, 12-14-26 (.531)
It is extremely likely Brule will eat the lunch of O'Sullivan, Cogliano and others based on this season. Brule can score goals (has a nice release and can find lanes) and he has some jam despite his size (another smaller player). Tambellini seemed somewhat indifferent to him last fall but the organization has had very few forwards overachieve and Brule is one of them. Suspect he'll get a nice contract and will be a strong candidate for the top 6 next fall (Gagner-Hall-Hemsky, Horcoff-Penner-Brule).
- Stortini: Predicted- 70gp, 6-10-16 (.229)
- Stortini: Actual- 57gp, 3-7-10 (.175)
Another consistent season for the 4line winger. A willing fighter who plays a simple game with results that don't hurt his team, there is a chance Tambellini will go another route next season and require more offense from the 4line.
- Potulny: Predicted- 66gp, 9-12-21 (.318)
- Potulny: Actual- 44gp, 14-8-22 (.500)
A very nice season for Potulny. NHL prospects sometimes don't get these chances, so credit where due. Potulny is certainly in the mix for next year's team in a 4th line role (speeds has an excellent look at the 10-14F's here) and could end up having a nice career in Edmonton.
A few items. These are the players I listed in the RE series, so Comrie and others don't appear for various reasons. Comrie and Ryan Stone are/were having seasons within the range of reasonable expectations with injury being the only real negative.

This exhibit crafts an interdependence between computing and drawing in an effort to question the role of the singular "author" within contemporary design culture. With apparatuses and algorithms designed specifically for the Linear Gallery site, visitors participate in multiple "slowly computed" and "slowly made" drawings that occur over the course of the exhibit.
Casual Computing, a selection of new and existing works by Evan Roth (B.S.

With pieces including prints, sculptures, videos and websites, the work is defined less by medium and genre than by its appropriation of popular culture.
The Collaborative Legacy of Merce Cunningham exhibition reflects on the nature of the work between Merce Cunningham and the equally important artists, composers and designers with whom he created works, and upon his unique method of collaboration on these works "in space and time."
Using the filters of movement and ritual in architecture, Robert Siegel's lecture and exhibit entitled "Movement" explains how the kinetic energy of preschool children, the overlapping and multiple choreographed paths of museum visitors, and the high speed secure processing of vehicles at the threshold to the United States form the basis of his work.
A collection of work by Atlanta-based Architect Anthony Ames will be on display beginning September 14th at the University of Maryland School of Architecture, Planning and Preservation's Kibel Gallery. "Object-Type Landscapes" will include a series of paintings, models and a dinnerware set, both inspired and the inspiration for Ames' functional yet expressive modernist architecture.

Comments about Marshall JCM1936 2x12 Guitar Speaker Cabinet:
I have had this cabinet for 3 years now and it is nothing short of awesome!! It small enough to take to just about any gig, and powerful enough to do most other gigs. For any reason you need something more, add another or mic it up.. The tone from this cabinet is unbelievable. I have compared to every combo amp as well as other cabinets and for just a little bigger than a combo amp you get a far better sound!It;s ambience is great for chorus, flange as well as a nice crunch and bottom end sounds.. I was going to go to a combo amp, but its not worth the sacrifice and takes up just a little bit more space than a 2x12 combo..

In a time of need only few can see what's wrong,millions tend to crawl
But only those who choose can make it through this all
Only few can sing like lions 'cause we sing until were gone
And we've got each others backs until we're back where we belong
A woman held my shild and through the battles we did wrong
A man would tell me wisdom through the static we were gone
And maybe when we're gone our names will echo though the stars
Every start got its ending even when we've learned to rise above it all
These lies are leading me astray, it's too much for me to stay
i don't wanna live this destiny,it goes on endlessly
i see you, so please stay strong
i'll sing you one last song and then I'm gone
i dont wanna live this destiny, it goes on endlessly
And we once also had a story too
you can see that good men only come in few
even in out greatest moments we may win or we may lose
even songs got its rules, you've got to make it through
maybe one day we can see choose how it feels to be a women or a man
without rules but buried underneath theres a picture glued
so when my body burns in ashes only sing the truth
let there words strengthen were meant for you
these lies are leading me astray, its too much for me to stay
i dont wanna live this destiny, it goes on endlessly
i see you, sp plese stay strong
ill sing you one last song and then im gone
i dont wanna live this destiny, it gose on endlessly
and now im floating' right above my coffin as it closes
i look down and i see sai as hes cryin' on my dadys shoulder
i look up in to and (never see a better new)
|just thinking bout my love lol

Driver hits police chief, commander
A 28-year-old Port Orchard woman was cited Thursday afternoon after her car rear-ended a vehicle driven by the Port Orchard police chief near downtown, the Washington State Patrol reported.
According to the incident report filed by the trooper, the woman was driving her 1999 Nissan Sentra north on Rockwell Avenue toward Bay Street shortly after 1 p.m. when she failed to stop and struck the 2007 Chevrolet Tahoe driven by POPD Chief Al Townsend and stopped at the intersection.
Townsend, 42, was uninjured, while his passenger, POPD Com-mander Geoff Marti, 49, declined aid for a sore neck and back.
The woman was cited for failure to stop.

An interaction
"A row of white lines quiver like gentle waves on a green wall. Entering the room causes our shadows to enter this green space. I reach my shadow hand up to a line and it dips and bulges. I run from side to side and waves form behind me. Three of us make a spider shape and lines dip to join our bodies."
Our first version of Growth Lines was created for a Red Velvet Curtain Cult event at the De la Warr Pavillion in Bexhill on Sea and was a response to the theme 'line'. Our line referenced both the sea, visible from the gallery and the world's oldest spider's web which was discovered in a piece of amber nearby.
Early versions of the work saw mutated spiders hatching from lines swollen through user interaction. Thematically, the line is both a harbour of stability and also decay. Our latest piece relies on the simplicity of the line.
This interactive artwork represents a development of our research into intuitive interaction and multiple user interaction.
Technical description
Hardware · PC, Webcam, projector
Software · Flash
Projection surface · wall
Nature of interaction · shadow-driven (unencumbered)
White horizontal lines on a green background are front projected on to a large wall. Occasionaly, small dipping actions will occur, suggesting the vitality of the lines. The projector is positioned so that users' shadows will appear in the projected image once they enter the space. A webcam looks for these dark areas to instantly affect the line. The scale of the shadow will depend on where they stand in relation to the projector; this means they can manipulate the line with their whole body or with a single finger.
When presenting this work, the scale, width to height ratio and number of lines will depend on the exhibition space.
In our experience shadow-driven works enable intuitive interaction and this work has proved very engaging. People spend a long time playing with the undulations and watching others play.

A Direct TV installer was accused of stealing thousands of dollars of jewelry from a home where he was installing a system.
The homeowners reported six rings, valued at over $4,000 went missing. Thanks to the work of officers and pawn shops, those rings are being returned to their rightful owner.
Today investigators from Colquitt County stopped by a pawn shop on Slappey Blvd. to pick up the last of the stolen jewelry they believe the suspect pawned.
This morning, workers at C & P pawn shop got an unexpected visit. Two investigators with the Colquitt County Sheriff's Office stopped by the Albany pawn shop not to buy property, but to get stolen property back.
Officers say Worth County resident Chad Holt took jewelry from a home in Funston while he was installing a Direct TV system, and sold the jewelry to pawn shops in Worth and Dougherty County.
"The homeowner suspected the direct TV installer the entire time there was jewelry missing and didn't suspect any family members," said Colquitt Co. Investigator David Corona.
After he finished the installation and left, home owners noticed several valuable rings were missing from a jewelry box in their bedroom.
"He was at the home two to three days installing the system and he pawned the items shortly after," Corona said.
Officers say Holt pawned a two carat diamond wedding ring, and blue sapphire gold a ring, a gold pinkie ring and two class rings. But thanks to the help of multiple agencies and the cooperation of several pawn shops..officers recovered just about all the stolen jewelry.
They picked up a ring sold for $75 at C & P, Pawn. Earlier, they recovered another ring at Quick Cash Title and Pawn. In Sylvester, they recovered more at K & L Gold Buyers.
Holt turned himself in and now faces felony charges.
Officers say serves as a warning to keep a close eye on anyone who comes into your home. Officers say thanks to the cooperation of all of the pawn shops they won't face any charges in this case.
The owners and They say they plan to report the installer to Direct Tv. Holt was released from jail on a $6,000 bond.

Join 500,000+ Artists
Its' free and it takes less than 10 seconds!
hey folks,
I have an unfinished version of this around since a couple of months. Finally got to work on it, which to me is a good way to learn 1) rendering 2) anatomy 3) using textures.
As you can see, I am not that far into the painting, but since I have to stop now, I want to get some feedback of you guys.
Please tell me even the most obvious errors I am doing, so I can fix them and grow artistically.

You ought to study 1) anatomy of bones and muscles and 2) decomposition of corpses. You are guessing way, way too much instead of researching your subject.
That in addition to the usual basics of structural drawing, perspective, composition and lighting.

really neat idea, i love the concept a lot, youve got to love cordycepts right? but why is he an angry zombie?
wouldnt it make more sense if he was a corpse?

hi folks,
@arenhaus: I had a lot of reference to look at, but atm my photoshop skills are not sufficient to adequatly illustrate the ideas I have. do you have some more tips on how to illustrate skin etc better? (like using lighter greys or something)
"structural drawing, perspective, composition and lighting" these are all things I want to learn. I will start the whole thing from scratch with doing linework first, try to figur out the major masses bevor I block in the shapes, maybe that will get me a better result.
@Velocity Kendall: yup I really thing it is just such a creepy idea, but at the same time it seems like a plausible source for a zombie apocalypse ^^
he is angry to push the sense of danger more and to not make him look dead. my idea was, that the fungus actually uses the host to spread the spores through the saliva into another victim, while the host is still alive. he can't keep the host alive but control his movement in order to spread the fungus. with that being said, the mushroom would have to grow pretty fast in order to be that big before the host dies of dehydration, but then again, it is art
remember the mushroom fruiting body's purpose is to spread the spores on air currents.
i love the idea that the zombie infection is a fungal parasite like cordycepts that takes over the hosts mind though.

hi velocity,
yeah that snail thing is pretty cool too. That bird just eats the eyes of the snail? that I didn't remember, I thought it eats the whole thing, but that's just brutal^^
the air current thing is not totally correct I believe. I think that there are cordycepts that want to get eaten by other animals (birds, cattle, etc.) or was that a issue concerning something else but the idea behind the design? anyways I made some more sketches concerning the concept. Had some great feedback by brent hollowell (awesome dude), which helped me a lot. But still, my skills are lacking, so I did more anatomy stuff these days, and try to get the basics (drawing shapes, painting the form) right. do you (velocity or anybody) have some critics on some obvious beginners-mistakes on my work? would love to here some, since thats the only way to improve.
hey there folks,
just a quick update, put some work in the anatomy and pose aaaaand bunch of other things :>
Still WIP, still seeking critique, still...
I think the rendering is good in some parts, like the belt.
However, I think the anatomy (like arenhaus stated above) needs work. That left arm is shaped wrong...it's bending. The right arm is too short. The torso also looks awkward.
I would definitely go and do some anatomy studies.
Anyways, as mentioned, I see a lot of potential, you already have a decent rendering style in my opinion.
Good luck

i wouldnt worry to much about anatomy and presentation yet. to me the concept is not working well as it is presented... you got 2 threats... the zombie and the fungi. zombies are dangerous and fungi can be too (probably at least to zombies.. or not)... it cant be read. is it about dangerous fungi infecting corpses (possibly the living...*shudders*), or zombies and the fungi are just decoration to spice up a pretty sucked-dry zombie representation?
dont split the focus of your design... either zombie or fungi... 2 threats are too much to digest.

hey there,
bish0p2004: thanks for the kind words, much appreciated. yeah my anatomy needs work. I am allready reffing a lot when doing the human figure, but it still doesnt come out right. will do more studies
sone_one: thanks for the critique, if it is not clear I have to work on the concept more.
hey guys,
after getting so much awesome feedback I decided to do a series of sketches and come up with something more thought out. Here is the lineart of the sketch I liked the most and some rough coloring.

GREEN BAY, WI (WSAU) There's a report that the Green Bay Packers are getting ready to devote up to one-sixth of their future salary caps on quarterback Aaron Rodgers. The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel says the Super Bowl champion and 2011 M-V-P quarterback could be in line to get 110-to-160-million dollars, depending on the length of the deal. And up to 40-million of it could be guaranteed. And the future salary cap hit for Rodgers could get as high as 20-million dollars for one season.
Packers' president Mark Murphy says the team wants to get the deal done this year, even though Rodgers has two years left on a contract that's paying him just under 10-million for this year. The Journal Sentinel said it leaves one agent shaking his head, wondering why the Packers don't wait a year to sign Rodgers – and instead, sign some free agents and make another aggressive Super Bowl run this fall.
But former Packers' contract negotiator Andrew Brandt says the team is wise to seal a new deal for Rodgers now. Brandt signed Brett Favre to a 10-year, 100-million dollar deal with three years left on his previous contract. He said he never wanted Favre to get within "sniffing distance" of free agency.
Favre ended up fulfilling all 10 years of that contract – and he played three more seasons with other teams before finally retiring at the end of 2011.

Are the turbo charged Mini coopers defective?
I was warned to avoid turbo charged Mini Coopers while I search for my next car.
Are these valid concerns?
3 Answers
Find a Mini Cooper forum and search for turbo problems. All cars have some kind of quirks. Many times the manufacturer will recall the cars and fix the problem by the time you hear about it.
That one you have listed on the question yes I would agree do stay away from. They are having issues with timing chains, carbon deposits on the intake valves, high pressure fuel pump failures (those now have a extended warranty from mini) The turbos oil feed bearings will get coaked up and fail causing turbo failure. The motor in this car is called a N14. But they now have a new turbo engine out called the N18 and so far those have pretty good no real issues yet. But if your looking for a good reliable engine over power then I suggest the N12/N16 MINI's naturally aspirated engines only issues they really have is a coil pack going bad. Hope that helps with your decision.
My wife's '10 Cooper S Clubman has 24,000 km and had already had the high pressure fuel pump replaced (after being stranded), the rear door power lock repaired (barn doors wouldn't close), and the intake ports walnut shell blasted to remove excessive carbon deposit (misfire codes). These were all fixed under warranty but the service department always had blanket statements to deny manufacturing defects in all cases. So far the only recall has been the turbo lube pump repair (after a few reported cases of engine bay fire). BMW (MINI) is not a company that will proactively fix its own faults, nor will they super cede defective parts with working ones. BMW relies on the uninformed to shoulder the costs when the timing chains of these engines should eventually fall off the sprockets when the plastic guides fail (reported in a good number of cases).
