Angelina Jolie to Team with Darren Aronofsky
Monday, March 1 by
Angelina Jolie can't decide which movie-I'll-never-see to do next. First there were reports that she dropped out of Wanted 2 in favor of Alfonso Cuaron's stranded on a spacestation drama Gravity. Word today is that she's not part of Gravity and is circling a project with Darren Aronofsky.The director and star are both looking to join an adaptation of Serena: A Novel. If the project does come to fruition, Serena: A Movie would star Jolie as the wife of a timber magnate in the woods of 1929 North Carolina. She would use the awesome powers of her vagina to convince him to commit increasingly ruthless acts. Later when she learns that she cannot conceive a child she decides that adoption is sooo 2002 and that murdering her husband's illegitimate son is the new hotness.Both Jolie and Aronofsky are waiting for a new script and budget before signing on to the evil vagina movie. I just wish that Angelina would learn to use that thing for good. Think of all the wars she could stop. (THR)
This Year's Oscars Are Gonna Be Off the Chain
Sunday, February 28 by
To ensure that this year's Oscars broadcast has a soundtrack just as bad as his movies do, giggly co-producer Adam Shankman has hired Good Charlotte's Joel Madden to serve as the ceremony's house DJ/head wanksta. Ah, I can see co-hosts Steve Martin and Alec Baldwin awkwardly white guy rapping the nominees right now. Shankman says:"I wanted there to be a party atmosphere and I wanted to make sure everyone in the room was having a great time" Oh yes, I'm sure everyone in the room will have a good time. Especially these guys:(People)
Taylor Lautner Gives 'Max Steel' The Hand
Saturday, February 27 by
Taylor Lautner has too many toys in his sandbox. After yanking both Mattel's Max Steel and Hasbro's Stretch Armstrong away from his peers while screaming, "Mine!", his Hollywood parents told him to make a decision. Lautner decided on Stretch, throwing Max back to the less fortunate, uglier, smellier kids to fight over. An insider who carries Lautner's bag of wet wipes and binkies told Vulture, "When you sign on to make a movie with Hasbro, you know it will be in theaters a year later." Well said, overbearing Hollywood stagemother. I would assume Lautner would want to play a sweet futuristic character like Max Steel over a man with skin issues, but maybe he has opposing thoughts about what is cool. Or daddy demanded he abide by his decision or get the belt again.

Matt Damon Wants to Shut Down Sea World
Friday, February 26 by
Whale parkour is the new kite-boarding.A trainer was killed this past Wednesday at Orlando, Florida's Sea World in the jaws of Tilikum, the oldest and largest killer whale in captivity. It should also be known that Tilikum has two priors. From the NY Daily News:Tilikum, whose name means "friend" in the Native American language Chinook, has killed before – always unwittingly.In 1991, a marine biology student and part-time trainer fell into his tank in Canada and was dragged under by Tilikum. The whale and two females blocked her from getting out of the pool and tossed her back and forth in the air between them like a toy.In 1999, there was a case so bizarre it made headlines around the world: A man sneaked into Tilikum's pool at SeaWorld and his naked corpse was found the next day splayed on the whale's back.Wow. Is the soul of a reincarnated killer trapped in that whale's body?Actor Matt Damon makes this article film-relevant by joining the campaign to close Sea World down in the light of this tragedy. He tells Entertainment Tonight:"I think they should just shut them all down. I've never been a fan of places like that." Meh, put all those hard working people on the street. Matt Damon's never been a fan.At any rate, it's unclear what the future holds for Tilikut but the Syfy Channel's Original Movies Department is said to be interested in the whale's talents. Very interested. (via NY Daily News and IMDB)

Nobody Wants Credit for Jon Cryer's Assassination
Friday, February 26 by
"Let me in!! I'm being MURDERED!!!"Jon Cryer must be a really good husband because it seems his ex-wife doesn't want to share him with the world. Earlier this year, an episode of Two and a Half Men was taped without a studio audience because Jon Cryer feared his ex-wife hired an assassin to kill him. Thus, depriving us of the most interesting thing that could possibly happen in that studio. I ask you this, does this look like the face of a woman who dreams of murder?Well, she doesn't think so. Here's her side of the story:Trigger's lawyer claims on December 21, 2009, Trigger told her that her ex-boyfriend, Eddie Sanchez, had said he was going to kill Cryer and Trigger's estranged husband, David Dickey.Trigger's lawyer became so alarmed she contacted lawyers for both Cryer and Dickey. On January 10, Dickey confronted Sanchez. According to legal docs, "Mr. Sanchez not only flatly denied making such a statement, but he said that it was [Sarah Trigger] who had contacted him on numerous occasions, stating that she wanted to see the pair [Cryer and Dickey] dead, and even asking Mr. Sanchez if he would kill the pair, or if he would not, inquiring whether she could speak with Mr. Sanchez's father about this issue." Sounds scary and stressful for Cryer. If he had any smarts he would disguise himself as a teenager and hide out at his nephew's high school immediately. (TMZ)

Four Hotties Hop Aboard Farrellys' 'Hall Pass'
Friday, February 26 by
The Farrelly Brothers have been busy rounding out the cast of Hall Pass, the comedy where Owen Wilson is allowed to rub his genitals against any woman he wants with zero wifely consequences for one week. The cast currently consists of Wilson, Jenna Fischer, Jason Sudeikis, Amanda Bynes, J.B. Smoove, and Stephen Merchant.This morning comes news of the alluring actresses who will play the pontential recipients of the genital-rubbing. Christina Applegate, Alyssa Milano, Vanessa Angel, and Nicky Whelan have all inked deals to swell Wilson and Sudeikis's pants. If the Farrellys are hoping to attract the lucrative demographic of dumpy girls with low self-esteem, they're going about it the wrong way. (THR)

Galifianakis and Hopkins to Exorcise Demons
Thursday, February 25 by
It's about to get projectile vomit-y in here!! In an apparent bid to recruit more kids to the priesthood, there are two new movies centering around exorcisms in the Hollywood pipeline. Priests are so hot right now. They're the new vampires.First up, Anthony Hopkins has signed on for the supernatural thriller The Rite. He'll play a Vatican-sanctioned exorcist whose methods are untraditional. In other words, he's a priest who doesn't follow the rules. Good luck finding a volunteer to stay after Sunday School to bang out erasers with you. (THR)The Hangover's Zach Galifianakis will portray an exorcist/slacker in Miracle Workers. The comedy tells the story of two friends who pose as exorcists until they encounter a truly malevolent evil. Shouldn't be a problem for Zach. He worked with Mike Tyson and survived. A demon would only rape him half as much. (Dread Central)

It's not easy being a New York Mets fan. In fact it's really, really tough. Between the season-ending collapses of historic proportions, the terrible contracts given to players like Oliver Perez and Luis Castillo, the arrest of our $37 million closer and the recent ownership issues, it has been a rough few years — four years to be exact. The team hasn't been the same since Carlos Beltran struck out looking at a nasty curve from Cardinals pitcher Adam Wainwright in Game 7 of the 2006 NLCS.
Basically since the team's inception in 1962, it's been the M.O. of Mets fans to expect the worst and wear the team's failures as a sort of badge of courage. In that spirit, The New York Times reported on Wednesday that Manhattan Mini Storage has produced this subway ad poking fun at the Mets organization:

TEAMS: Colorado Rockies
DUI's are not funny and should be handled harshly, but I am supremely puzzled by what Colorado Rockies first baseman Todd Helton was thinking when this photo was snapped. The 39-year-old Helton was arrested for DUI early Wednesday morning on suspicion of driving under the influence of alcohol and careless driving in Denver. Helton released a statement through his lawyer per the Denver Post. "Last evening I exercised poor judgment and was charged with drinking and driving after driving to a gas station near my house. I am very sorry and embarrassed by my actions. I hold myself to a high standard and take my responsibility as a public figure very seriously. My entire career I have worked to set a positive example for my family and in our community and I fell far short of this standard. "I sincerely ask my family, the Colorado Rockies Organization, Major League Baseball and the community to accept my apology. I make no excuses and accept full responsibility for my actions. I humbly ask your forgiveness." The mug shot though Todd, the mug shot.

Bill Johnson has been acting the part of a legitimate candidate, showing up at county GOP rallies, breakfasts and candidate forums. Now, the Todd County businessman and decorated Navy veteran says an internal poll proves he is a legitimate candidate. After the upstart Rand Paul took the lead in the latest WHAS11/Survey USA poll (to the surprise of many Republicans), it appears anything is possible.
Here's the news release from the Johnson campaign:
The results of an internal statewide poll, done last week in Kentucky, show Trey Grayson at 29%, Rand Paul at 25%, Bill Johnson at 14%, Thoney at 2%, Oerther at 1%, Martin at 1%, and 28% of the voters undecided. The poll of 1113 likely voters has a margin of error of 3.5%.
The campaign to fill the seat being vacated by Senator Jim Bunning has drawn much attention. The front-runners to replace Senator Bunning are Trey Grayson, Secretary of State, Rand Paul, son of unsuccessful presidential candidate Ron Paul, and Bill Johnson. Grayson and Paul have been taking pot shots at each other in an attempt to gain media attention. Both have raised nearly a million dollars each from their out of state friends and political allies while Johnson has been traveling the state talking with residents about the issues important to them. Since he is not financed by lobbyists or special interest groups Johnson is raising funds by accepting small donations from interested voters. His growing strength in the polls is clear evidence that Kentucky voters are not for sale.
Johnson said, "My campaign is working to win for the people here at home. This campaign is not about money. Important issues such as our economy, the war on terror, healthcare, and energy independence should be on the minds of those who would serve our country." As a pro-life, pro-gun, pro-family, and pro-military candidate, Johnson is concerned about the future of America. "As I continue to campaign across Kentucky I am meeting hard working people who are struggling to pay their bills, save for retirement, and provide for their kids college tuition," Johnson added.
Bill Johnson is a Republican Candidate for the U.S. Senate from Kentucky. Johnson is a military gulf war veteran, businessman and concerned citizen tired of the nonsense coming out of Washington. He stands for limited government, low taxes, strong military, gun ownership, marriage between one man and one woman, and life begins at conception. Johnson is committed to returning our great nation to the conservative values of Ronald Reagan.

The Christmas season just got a lot less joyous in this very dark comedy. Willie T. Stokes (Billy Bob Thornton) is a con man and a thief who teams up with his friend Marcus (Tony Cox), a midget, for a very special scam each year during the holiday season. Willie gets a job as Santa Claus at a shopping mall, his pal tags along as an elf, and they use their employee status to crack mall security and rob stores blind just before Christmas. However, there's one flaw to this plan -- Willie is a

Once the rude shock of a profane Claus wears off, there's not really much to do except await the next outrageous remark.
Even when the film threatens to turn feel-good, it thankfully resists the urge.
Best of all, it plugs into -- and electrifies -- the mostly unacknowledged grimness that lies just beneath our holiday cheer.
Much like School Of Rock, Bad Santa salvages a tired, paint-by-numbers formula by resisting it every step of the way, stubbornly refusing to stop its juvenile fun until the last possible moment.
Zwigoff and company wring some laughs out of it, though the tone is uniformly mean and vulgar.
With all the hype about this film, one may expect a dark, cynical comedy with some sort of commentary on the mass consumerism of the season. Sadly, moments like that are few.
Zwigoff's safe-cracking con-man Santa is one of vilest creatures to ever grace a screen.
This amusingly venal, possibly shocking tale is just what Scrooge ordered.
Bad Santa squeezes enough humour into its tight costume to satisfy anyone suffering from seasonal sickness.
With Thornton giving a terrific deadpan performance, this is the perfect antidote to the usual saccharine Christmas confection.
Bad Santa is in fact the most belligerently crass and profane comedy to slither out of the studio system in at least a year--although it's also much less interesting than that sounds.
The movie revels in a gloriously pessimistic tone and manages a few brief moments of hilarity amid the satire.
Bad Santa is the most fun you'll have while watching someone destroy themselves.
The movie is less about gaining the Christmas spirit than about defying the corporate ethos that hijacks and then abandons that spirit every year.
A movie that grows on you...Underneath layers of anger, sarcasm, profanity and booze, Bad Santa ultimately reveals a soft heart.
...deserves a place among treasured Christmas pictures - as it certainly provides a welcome respite from the relentless holiday cheer that generally accompanies such films.
Audience Reviews for Bad Santa
Super Reviewer
The whole point of this film is the ever so slight redemption of the main character played by Thornton. This guy is a low down permanently drunk criminal who drags his way through life whilst robbing department stores with his dwarf partner. The dubious duo take yearly jobs as a department store Santa and his elf worker, this way they get to know the ins and outs of the store so they can easily rob it. Things change for Thornton's character 'Stokes' when he meets a tubby little boy who he kinda befriends and takes a shine to...eventually.
This film is kinda unique in the sense that the main character has many flaws and issues which you tend to think he will sort out at some point by the end of the film. The twist and funny part is he doesn't really change at all, he does a little bit with the help of his little fat young friend, but not too much really, he still ends up as the same bum. The amusing things about the film are the constant little moments where Thornton's character gets angry or frustrated with the fat kid and swears at him. The little fat kid (eerily played by Kelly) seems to be a bit slow and just takes the abuse, in one ear and out the other. At times it can be very funny to watch these outbursts yet at other times you do feel sorry for the kid or Stokes because you know he sometimes doesn't mean it.
The heist aspect of the film is quite good and offers some reasonably tense moments, especially near the end. The various Santa sequences are probably the films highlights as we see Thornton getting sneezed and coughed on by lots of pant wetting scroats. Of course his reactions and the way he treats the kids are the best bits, he basically sneers growls and scowls at them, finally nudging them off his knee and virtually kicking them to the curb. Watching the reactions of the parents is great, as a man pushing 40 and with no kids I love it, if I was a parent I might feel differently I guess who knows.
The darkest sequence must be when a severely pissed Stokes crawls up the escalator towards his Santa grotto. His beard and clothes now filthy stained and damaged, he looks like shit, can hardly walk and promptly falls into a reindeer display. This whole sequence starts out funny but descends into a more cringeworthy incident as he freaks out and starts to smash up the Xmas display in front of everyone in the store, its still amusing but also poignant and depressing...much like the plot as a whole really.
The finale was a tad of a let down for me, it does seem like you're gonna get the predictable ending where Stokes will die trying to achieve a small slice of decency in his life, the right ending. A bit like the finale in 'The Wrestler' where Rourke's character goes out doing what he loves but also reclaiming a small part of his dignity right at the end. Even though this ending is predictable as I said, I think it would have been stronger for obvious reasons. Instead Stokes lives on and we get some mumbo jumbo about how he survived and what he plans to do after he heals up. This simply feels like an open ending so they can roll out a sequel which this film really doesn't need in my opinion, if it happens that is. I think it should have wrapped up there and then.
All in all I like how this is basically an anti-Christmas flick which sticks two fingers up at the sweet yuletide greetings side of it and embraces the Scrooge side with extreme profanity. Its not exactly original in idea, the drunk rude Santa schtick has been done before but you can't deny its amusing. Crude rude edgy and drenched in cynicism...but there is a soft warm heart buried deep in there and it just about manages to shine through in the end.

how they should do it based on their own needs and goals," said presenter and planning committee member Barbara Treacy of the Education Development Center, Inc.,2 which supports ETLO through its Center for Online Professional Education.
Since its launch in 2000, the project has trained more than 1,400 online specialists, course developers, and online facilitators in more than 35 states. It offers two main types of capacity-building programs: how to be an online instructor and how to be an online course developer. About 50 online workshops are now offered in different subject areas and grade levels. The project also has created an online community of online instructors in which participants can discuss resources, share answers to questions, and reflect on the work they are doing. Many of these discussions are archived and available to new participants.
Because the emphasis of ETLO is on building capacity, it seeks to enlist participants as long-term partners in professional development. "It's not just a course. People are getting involved for a long-term relationship," said Treacy. "We are there both to train people and to make sure they and their participants are successful." After they finish the course, participants develop a plan with their district or departmental leadership to run a series of workshops within their organizations based on identified goals and needs. These workshops result in projects that teachers can implement in their classrooms. Surveys show that of 2,500 teachers who have received training through ETLO, 98 percent are using the workshop projects in their classrooms.
An example of ETLO's influence is its work with the Mississippi Department of Education. ETLO trained a cohort of 24 online facilitators who then offered online workshops to teachers across the state who were teaching on emergency certificates. "It became the only way those teachers on emergency certificates could get into the classroom," Treacy said. The program was so successful that Mississippi made the training mandatory for online facilitators, and the approach has spread to other parts of the Mississippi education department.
"The course moved rapidly as research articles provided meat for discussions on topics relevant to online learning and facilitation. Attributes of adult learners, different teaching and learning styles, and developing plans to encourage high levels of participation provided content for lengthy discussions. These qualities and strategies not only enable online learners but students in classrooms as well. I cannot think of when I've enjoyed a course as much as I have this one, nor can I remember feeling any more comfortable, or gaining more applicable learning than in this course." — online facilitator participating in ETLO workshop (as presented by workshop presenter Barbara Treacy)

Chest Wall Keloids
Chest wall is common location for keloids. Chest wall keloids may be triggered by wounding of the skin, acne and other skin infections or surgery. The keloid shown below was triggered by a minor wounding of the skin from a sharp object injuring the skin. Surgery does not play a role in treating these keloids and indeed results in worsening of these keloids. Best treatment options for these keloids are steroid or chemotherapy injections or cryotherapy. In the case depicted below, the original keloid was removed by surgery, which not only did not help the patient, but it caused formation of a much larger keloid at the site of surgery.
The size and shape of chest wall keloids vary from patient to patients. Some patients only have one very small keloid in the chest wall; others may have numerous keloid spots on their chest.
Chest wall keloids tend to be thicker in African Americans, and thinner and more flat in individuals with light color skin. They tend to be irritated, itch or even become painful. Exercise, running, sweating can result in temporary expansion and enlargement these keloids and make them more symptomatic.
Cryotherapy for chest wall keloids can be painful and has to be done gently and in small segments divided in multiple sessions. The image below shows the extent of the keloid that can be comfortably frozen in one session of cryotherapy. Although the whole keloid can be treated in one session, such a treatment will make most patients quite miserable for 1-2 days.
The video below also shows the extent of the keloid that comfortably frozen in one session of cryotherapy. This patient required local anesthesia in order to be cofortably treated
These keloids should not be treated with radiation therapy, as radiation imposes an unacceptable risk of causing cancers or damage to the heart or thyroid gland. The patient below had surgery followed by radiation therapy to the keloid in her upper chest, lower neck area. The treatment not only did not help her, but resulted in recurrence of a worse keloid. Radiation therapy also caused a permanent damage to her thyroid gland, made her hypothyroid. She will have to take thyroid supplement medications for rest of her life.

Battery Park is located at the very tip of Manhattan. Dutch settlers formed New Amsterdam here when they came to the Manhattan Island and the area is now one of the epicenters of New York history. The park is a hub for harbor access as it overlooks the New York harbor and also lays out as a front lawn of the Downtown area. Over four million people visit the park every year and many of them mainly come to see the major landmark, Castle Clinton National Museum.

Impact of Climate on Tourist Demand
AbstractTourism, being volatile and situation-specific, is responsive to climate change. A crosssection analysis is conducted on destinations of OECD tourists and a factor and regression analysis on holiday activities of Dutch tourists, to find optimal temperatures at travel destination for different tourists and different tourist activities. Globally, OECD tourists prefer a temperature of 21ºC (average of the hottest month of the year) at their choice of holiday destination. This indicates that, under a scenario of gradual warming, tourists would spend their holidays in different places than they currently do. The factor and regression analysis suggests that preferences for climates at tourist destinations differ among age and income groups.

London • Alice Herz-Sommer, believed to be the oldest Holocaust survivor, died at age 110 on Sunday, a family member said. The accomplished pianist's death came just a week before her extraordinary story of surviving two years in a Nazi prison camp through devotion to music and her son is up for an Oscar.
Herz-Sommer died in a hospital after being admitted Friday with health problems, daughter-in-law Genevieve Sommer said.
|Join the Discussion
|Post a Comment
"We all came to believe that she would just never die," said Frederic Bohbot, producer of the documentary "The Lady in Number 6: Music Saved My Life." "There was no question in my mind, 'would she ever see the Oscars.'"
The film, directed by Oscar-winning filmmaker Malcolm Clarke, has been nominated for best short documentary at the Academy Awards next Sunday.
Herz-Sommer, her husband and her son were sent from Prague in 1943 to a concentration camp in the Czech city of Terezin — Theresienstadt in German — where inmates were allowed to stage concerts in which she frequently starred.
An estimated 140,000 Jews were sent to Terezin and 33,430 died there. About 88,000 were moved on to Auschwitz and other death camps, where most of them were killed. Herz-Sommer and her son, Stephan, were among fewer than 20,000 who were freed when the notorious camp was liberated by the Soviet army in May 1945.
Yet she remembered herself as "always laughing" during her time in Terezin, where the joy of making music kept them going.
"These concerts, the people are sitting there, old people, desolated and ill, and they came to the concerts and this music was for them our food. Music was our food. Through making music we were kept alive," she once recalled.
"When we can play it cannot be so terrible."
Though she never learned where her mother died after being rounded up, and her husband died of typhus at Dachau, in her old age she expressed little bitterness.
"We are all the same," she said. "Good, and bad."
Caroline Stoessinger, a New York concert pianist who wrote a book about Herz-Sommer, said she interviewed numerous people who were at the concerts who said "for that hour they were transported back to their homes and they could have hope."
"Many people espouse certain credos, but they don't live them. She did," said Stoessinger, author of "A Century of Wisdom: Lessons from the Life of Alice Herz-Sommer, the World's Oldest Living Holocaust Survivor."
"She understood truly that music is a language and she understood how to communicate through this language of music."
Herz-Sommer was born on Nov. 26, 1903, in Prague, and started learning the piano from her sister at age 5.
As a girl, she met the author Franz Kafka, a friend of her brother-in-law, and delighted in the stories that he told.
She also remembered Kafka saying, "In this world to bring up children: in this world?"
Alice married Leopold Sommer in 1931. Their son was born in 1937, two years before the Nazi invasion of Czechoslovakia.
"This was especially for Jews a very, very hard time. I didn't mind, because I enjoyed to be a mother and I was full of enthusiasm about being a mother, so I didn't mind so much," she said.
Jews were allowed to shop for only half an hour in the afternoon, by which time the shops were empty. Most Jewish families were forced to leave their family apartments and were crammed into one apartment with other families, but her family was allowed to keep its home.
"We were poor, and we knew that they will send us away, and we knew already in this time that it was our end," she said.Next Page >

Banda Lagunera's Corridos de Grueso Calibre is something of a throwback to old-style banda music in its traditional sound and danceability, but it's also -- as the title suggests -- done in modern corridos style, thus providing the best of both worlds. The lyrics concern both everyday life and the earth-shaking events that can alter it forever. ~ Steve Huey, Rovi

WASHINGTON COUNTY, WI (WTAQ) - If you've failed to get a deer, you're hardly alone.
Governor Scott Walker reports that he came up empty Monday, when he went hunting in Washington County northwest of Milwaukee.
This is Day 3 of the nine day gun deer season. Statewide totals for the opening weekend are normally released late Monday afternoon or Tuesday by the DNR.
On Twitter late Monday morning, Walker wrote, "Wow, is it cold out. The deer must think the same thing, as I haven't seen a thing."
The tweet included a photo of Walker wearing a cap, face mask, and the required blaze orange jacket.
The AP said Walker finished his hunt just before noon without getting a deer.

Good morning!
An active, stormy Thursday is on tap as showers and thunderstorms are expected to become widespread later today.
This morning we start things off relatively quiet and mostly cloudy. Slight chance of storms. Temps out the door in the mid 60s.
By noon--look for increased chances of thunderstorms and showers, and with storms becoming likely by late afternoon, early evening. Daytime highs climb to the low 80s today.
High fire danger still exists with a red flag warning continuing through late tonight.

We start with the credits, which is a good place to start with an iconic, cult show like this one. Pretty exciting, very geeky, very sci-fi. The TARDIS police box whirls through the time vortex and stops in space, then goes back in, and Christopher Eccleston's and Billie Piper's names whirl up and out. You also get the episode title and the writer/showrunner, Russell T. Davies, who wrote the entire first season, I believe. Big Doctor Who fan from way back. I'm a fan from several months ago. I dimly remember seeing some of the Tom Baker and Peter Davison ones on PBS, and I've got a copy of "Enlightenment," but as for this series, I've seen it in a very peculiar order, which seems to have screwed up every possible response I have. I saw "The Christmas Invasion" first thing, so I've got my Ninth and Tenth response backwards, and then I watched "The Empty Child"/"The Doctor Dances" after that, so I've got all the Captain Jack stuff happening, and then I saw part of a couple others. None of this aliens and farting aliens and head-in-a-box aliens crap, to start with, so I had no immunity watching tonight's episodes. This was New Year's Eve, 2006, and it went late into the night. I was impressed. What those things did not really do was prepare me for the second episode, which I hated violently the first time I saw it, but it turns out on second viewing I actually might like more than this one. So that's funny. Word to the wise: think twice before having an opinion about this show on the internet.
The camera pans from the moon, over to Earth, and zooms down into the atmosphere, into the UK and then London and then into Rose Tyler's alarm clock, which reads 7:30. Wacky sci-fi music that is rollicking and suits the quick and crazy cuts starts as Rose smacks the clock. She jumps out of bed, grabs her bag, kisses her mother, grabs her keys, and leaves. The first thing Rose ever says is "Goodbye." She says it a lot. This time it's to her mum, Jackie, who is blonde and ragged and nattering and funny. A housecoat kind of mom, but with the urban tracksuit thing happening, too.
The music continues to go crazy as Rose runs down the stairs on the outside wall of her block of apartments. Then London is crazy and bustling, and Rose gets off a bus, and we pan past a bunch of mannequins, and Rose works at Henrik's, and finds it boring. Maybe it would be more fun if they just called it "Harrod's," but I think on British TV that would not be allowed. Man, can you imagine if there were no product placement on American TV? Willow would have been doing her shit on like a Smac and everybody would be listening to iGrods. Every time Rose is in there, actually working in the shop, the music goes to a tinny, quiet radio sound, and when she's gone, it comes back real again. Very effective. Davies said, "The most important thing about Rose is that she works in a shop," which I love, because there's a way in which that's true, even though in the whole series she actually works in a shop for about ten seconds total. She meets her boyfriend Mickey for lunch, they laugh and have such fun, they tease each other, they make out, he does a little dance, it's all still quite frenetic and British, they get up to leave, and Rose says again, this time to Mickey: "Goodbye."

The Monroe Administration
The Monroe Administration
With the collapse of the Federalist Party and the election of Democratic- Republican James Monroe in 1816, the Era of Good Feelings began. For the first time in American politics, partisan fighting was at a minimum.
Foreign Policy
President Monroe's first concern was to put relations with Britain on a sound footing after the American victory in the War of 1812. Since peace in the Great Lakes region would benefit both Britain and the United States, Monroe's desire for disarmament in that region found a favorable reception in Britain. First, the Rush-Bagot Agreement of 1818 strictly limited the number of warships in the Great Lakes. Second, the U.S.-Canadian border was established at the 49th parallel. Third, Britain and the United States agreed that they would both occupy Oregon Country until 1828, at which time they would set boundaries.
The United States had been watching the series of colonial rebellions in Latin America with interest, as it watched every revolution of a colony against its mother country. Although the United States took no active part in these rebellions, its sympathies were with the rebels. Monroe knew that the European powers would help Spain retake its colonies if they could. In an 1823 speech to Congress, he stated that the United States would remain neutral in any conflict between a Latin American colony and its European mother country. However, the United States would regard any attack on an independent Latin American republic or any further attempts to colonize the Western Hemisphere as an attack on the United States itself:
With the existing colonies or dependencies of any European power we have not interfered and shall not interfere. . . . It is impossible that the allied powers [of Europe] should extend their political system to any portion of either continent [North or South America] without endangering our peace and happiness. . . . It is equally impossible, therefore, that we should behold such interposition in any form with indifference.
This statement, the terms of which had largely been worked out by Secretary of State John Quincy Adams, became known as the Monroe Doctrine.
Most Americans supported the Monroe Doctrine, although there were those who viewed it with concern, fearing that it would force the United States to become involved in wars outside its borders. The effect of the Monroe Doctrine was what the administration had hoped: European nations made no further efforts to colonize in the Western Hemisphere.
Territorial Expansion
At this time, Spain claimed Florida Territory, which was much larger than the present-day state of Florida; it included parts of present-day Alabama, Mississippi, and Louisiana. Taking advantage of a period when Spain was trying to quell colonial rebellions in South America, the United States annexed West Florida with little difficulty. In the First Seminole War, General Andrew Jackson and his troops put down Seminole Indian uprisings against American claims to West Florida. Jackson exceeded his commission, commanding his troops to seize Spanish forts in East Florida. When he ordered the military execution of two British officials, European leaders condemned the United States. President Monroe did not punish Jackson, but he did return the captured forts to Spain. Monroe and John Quincy Adams argued that if the Spaniards could not control the Seminole population, they must give their rights to Florida to the United States. Unable to match American military force, Spain ceded Florida to the United States in the Adams-Onís Treaty of 1819.

U2 Debut Charitable New Song 'Invisible' in 2014 Super Bowl Commercial [VIDEO]
U2 has debuted their latest song, 'Invisible,' in a commercial that aired during the 2014 Super Bowl.
U2 has debuted their latest song, 'Invisible,' in a commercial that aired during the 2014 Super Bowl.
Believe it or not, it's been 20 years since U2 released its landmark album 'Achtung Baby' — and the band is preparing to celebrate with a newly expanded version.
The band isn't stopping its vault-purging there, either – Rolling Stone reports that there are also plans for a deluxe edition of U2′s 'Achtung' follow-up, 'Zooropa,' all part of a wider campaign that will see the songs repackaged in a number of formats.
After falling in love with Lelia Broussard's song, "Louisiana" I got to thinking about some of the other songs for and about our great state. Now, I admit, I'm a little sentimental sometimes, especially at times like this when we face yet another potential disaster just weeks before hurricane season begins, so bear with me on a couple of these... I have included some favorites that tug on my heart every time I hear them. Here they are:
(By: Mark Metcalfe Getty Images Entertainment )
JUSTIN BIEBER and U2 will appear on a new charity album to benefit Japan's earthquake and tsunami victims. Universal Music hopes to have it out by the end of the week so it'll be a digital-only release. The full lineup of artists...
Got Your Tickets To The NKOTB/Backstreet Boys In The Cajundome?
The tough economy hasn't helped the already-suffering music industry, and a lot of acts are being forced to face the music. When it comes to touring, many artists and bands are skipping huge stadium tours in favor of slightly smaller venues, since the cost is lower and it's easier to guarantee a full house.
For its first couple decades of existence, the Super Bowl halftime show featured marching bands or Up With People-type musical medleys. Unfortunately, but the only folks who really got excited about those performances were the families of the performers.

6am awakening again, but managed to doze until 8am – it is still dark when I do get up, and didn't get light until about 30 minutes later. When it did, we could see fog. We are due to dock at La Coruna at 11.30am; I've booked a ship tour to La Coruna and Betanzos, and we'll have enough time to check out the town of La Coruna, as we don't leave until 9pm tonight.
At breakfast this morning, we had the company of some birds – they looked like large, speckelled seagulls – which seemed to be floating alongside the boat for a few minutes. Donovan, the 'sunshine coffee and tea tonic man' was there again – he pushes a trolley of tea and coffee and serves you at the table, accompanied by a series of rhymes he calls out as he moves through the cafe – very clever and a nice touch.
As we return to the cabin, we get our feedback card, and this cruise I have too many excellent staff to mention and nothing really negative. It's been a delightful holiday.
We met our bus tour for the 20 minute drive to Betanzos and heard about the history of Coruna and Galicia, which is, surprisingly, more Celtic than Spanish, complete with bagpipes. Phillip II of Spain left from here to invade England, and Sir Francis Drake arrived about a year later to destroy the town.
We travelled on the 'high road', a highway that skirted some mountains. It was still very foggy, so we didn't get many views. Betanzos is a medieval town, built on a hill, near what the guide called the inlet; this is quite shallow apparently and the site of the San Roque festival on 16 August each year, when boats are decorated and sailed along the inlet. After driving through the new part of town, the bus dropped us in the plaza of the old town, where there was some activity, including a Bart Simpson jumping castle, as part of celebrations for the Bank Holiday or Columbus Day, when they celebrate the discovery of America by Columbus.
We head up a small hill into the heart of the old town, and right then left up and down, to reach two old churches – Inglesia de San Francisco (St Francis) and Inglesia de Santa Maria (St Mary). These are side by side on a hill. Only the Church of St Francis was open today because of the holiday.
Outside the church of St Mary, there is a stone crucerio in front of it, which were built to ward off the evil spirits that might meet you on the road and at crossroads. Apparently if you met these lines of spirits walking, you had to join them for eternity.
We then saw some key buildings, the first bank in Europe which is now a stamp museum, and ended at the high point of the old town, near the town hall, and another church. Here some of the local children joined us on the steps of the church, which was right next to a cafe, above which a future Queen had stayed at one stage (missed who is was exactly).
Back in the plaza, where we had free time, we bought Kate's newspaper, contemplated a cup of tea and settled on an ice cream – where we could point at the one we wanted – and sat watching people until it was time to board the bus. I am reminded that groups of teenage girls are the same the world over, dressed in jeans and tshirts, talking in earnest and laughing out loud, as are two year old tantrums! There is also a statue in this plaza of the two brothers who built many of the major buildings in the town – the Garcia Naveira brothers.
We drove back to La Coruna via the 'low roads' along the coast, and saw some countryside, some huge houses, some hoeffas (sp?), raised food storage structures, and some beach towns, including Sada which looked as though it is very popular.
The weather in Betanzos turned out to be delightful, high 20s and sunny. As we approached La Coruna, however, it was clear the fog was still around – at 3pm.
We had a tour of the city sights, and then headed to the Tower of Hercules, a 2nd century Roman lighthouse which is still in operation. We had ten minutes here, not really even long enough to walk up to the top of the hill, so we didn't have time to climb it, just take photos. And given the fog, the photos weren't great. Back on the bus, we waited and waited for some people to turn up – as it was, we could have climbed the Tower, which is probably what they did.
The sea promenade here is over 10 kilometres long apparently, and divided into three sections, defined by the light posts. We drove along the promenade and back to the ship, passing several buildings where the balconies had been closed in by white frontages, which now form a long, long example of this style , then through the fisheries port and then to the tourism port, which looks fairly new, and has open air restaurants. At dinner that night, we could see many people and families strolling here, although the imminent departure of the Eclipse could have attracted people as well.
La Coruna has a few interesting sites and places, and a Che Guevera street as well as a street named Nirvana by the mayor after the rock band, but the old seems overwhelmed by its industry and commercial operations. It is clean, like all Spanish towns we have visited, and that adds to their attractiveness. The weather is a bit different to the rest of Spain, cooler and more rain and like most Mediterranean countries, was enjoying an Indian Summer when we visited. It has three museums – the aquarium for fish, the human body and science, all housed in modern and quite unique buildings. The football stadium is another example of modern architecture, although apparently the team has been relegated to second division.
We had afternoon tea when we got back as it was 4pm; we decided to wait for dinner, which was another lovely meal. The whole process of dining on a cruise ship is part of the experience – each night is an event in itself.

June 28 (Bloomberg) -- Canadian stocks rose for a second day as energy producers and bank shares gained amid optimism that a deal can be reached to help Greece avoid defaulting on its debt.
Suncor Energy Inc., Canada's largest oil and gas producer, advanced 1.8 percent as oil futures jumped. Royal Bank of Canada, the country's biggest bank, and Toronto-Dominion Bank increased at least 1.1 percent as financial stocks rallied. Westport Innovations Inc. soared 9.8 percent after General Motors Co. agreed to work on projects with the developer of natural-gas engine technologies.
The Standard & Poor's/TSX Composite Index added 107.12 points, or 0.8 percent, to 13,073.61 at 1:39 p.m. in Toronto.
"Everyone's thinking of Greece and there's a little bit of optimism today as we wait for the vote tomorrow," said Irwin Michael, who helps manage C$1 billion ($1 billion) as a money manager at ABC Group of Funds in Toronto. "Greece has to be repaired and put on the right track because you got other problematic countries that are being watched very closely."
The S&P/TSX broke a three-week losing streak last week as investors speculated Greece will be able to enact austerity measures and avoid default. Greek lawmakers are in the midst of a debate this week to approve an austerity package needed for the release of the next phase of an international bailout.
Germany's biggest banks and insurers will meet with the Finance Ministry in Berlin tomorrow as they seek to reach an agreement on their contribution to a Greek aid package, two people with knowledge of the matter said. A preliminary deal may be reached as early as tomorrow, they said. Greek Prime Minister George Papandreou's 78 billion euro ($111 billion) plan to cut spending and sell assets is set for a vote in parliament tomorrow.
Energy Stocks Rally
S&P/TSX energy stocks rallied 1.1 percent, the second-most among ten groups in the benchmark index for Canadian equities. Suncor advanced 1.8 percent to C$37.63. Canadian Natural Resources Ltd., the country's second-biggest energy company by market value, increased 2 percent to C$39.06. Industrial companies rose the most S&P/TSX Composite Index.
Oil rose from a four-month low amid speculation that Greek lawmakers will approve austerity measures to prevent a default on the country's debt and on forecasts U.S. fuel demand will rise before the Fourth of July holiday. The U.S. Independence Day weekend typically marks the peak consumption period for U.S. motorists.
Banks Gain
The S&P/TSX Financials Index, the largest part of the S&P/TSX Composite, gained 0.5 percent. Royal Bank of Canada rose 1.5 percent to C$55.42. Toronto-Dominion Bank, Canada's second- largest lender by assets, increased 1.1 percent to C$80.44.
Westport Innovations surged 9.8 percent to C$23.34 after agreeing with GM to develop natural gas controls, emissions and performance strategies. Westport will also open a new technical center in Michigan.
Stocks rose in Canada even after a report that confidence among U.S. consumers dropped to a seven-month low in June as Americans grew concerned about the outlook for jobs and wages. The Conference Board's sentiment index decreased to 58.5 from a revised 61.7 in May. Home prices fell in the year ended in April by the most in 17 months, another report showed.
"Everyone is betting on Europe finding a resolution for the Greece," said Ken Mack, an analyst and trader at Stone Asset Management in Toronto, which oversees about C$850 million. "The U.S. put out a consumer confidence number that was lower than expected and the market shrugged it off. It's very day to day, the optimism comes and goes and today it's up."

Kids at the WVU Children's Hospital got a surprise visit Thursday from Elmo and Cookie Monster.
The Sesame Street characters are in Morgantown for Sesame Street Live this weekend and stopped by the hospital to say hello.
The characters played with the kids, and visited.
Twenty one month old Luke Knotts even colored with his favorite Elmo.
His mom and hospital agree the visit is a great thing.
"He was pretty excited. He watches them on TV, but to see them in real life is something different for them," said Christine Knotts, mother of Luke Knotts.
"It helps to break up the kid's day," said Rob Riley, nurse manager in the Pediatric Ward. "We try to keep the things as normal as possible for the kids, and Big Bird and Elmo, those kinds of characters are things kids have at home so to see them here may help them take their mind off, maybe the shot they are going to get."
Sesame Street Live is at the Creative Arts Center Friday, Saturday, and Sunday.

Many hot irons look alike and all give out heat, but there are many critical differences.
Ski wax irons generally have:
Household irons don't retain heat well and quickly cool when in contact with a ski base that is at room temperature (not to mention getting wax stuck in those steam holes). They eventually heat up again, but will continue to have heat pulled out of them until the ski base sufficiently warms. The household type iron temperature will fluctuate widely in this heating and cooling cycle. People tend to turn up the heat in response to this fluctuation and run the danger of burning or otherwise damaging ski bases.
A proper ski wax iron is a relatively small investment when waxing those prize boards!

- How to Read a Study Record
Epidemiological, clinical and animal-experimental evidence shows a direct relationship between dietary sodium intake, blood pressure and cardiovascular event. Diverse questionnaire and 24 hour urinary sodium measurement are used to estimate sodium intake. Complete reflection of eating and cooking habits to the dietary survey method is difficult. Furthermore, the differences of database between countries make it difficult to compare the amount of sodium intake between countries. It is also difficult to consider individual variation of cooking and eating habits. Due to limitations of dietary survey method, WHO recommended 24 hour urinary sodium measurement to estimated sodium intake in the population survey, and many countries are adopting. However, in Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, only dietary survey method has been used.
The present survey study was designed 1) to test the feasibility of 24 hour urinary sodium measurement for the estimation of sodium intake (including percentage of complete 24 hour urine sample collection) in the population based study; 2) to establish feasible method of 24 hour urinary sodium measurement; 3) to compare 24 hour urinary sodium measurement to the dietary survey method; and 4) to estimate the sodium intake by 24 hour urinary sodium measurement in Goyang city general population (aged 20-70 years).

Nah, it's not that hard now. I'm leveling an alt all the way through 70 (it's 40 right now), and it's a pretty swift ride. The major problem is that it does feel VERY lonely as there's still many players striving for 80 with their mains. You also don't get to do almost any instance. That, I think, is the true worst part of being a newbie nowadays.

Supplier Diversity Program
Goals and Objectives
We remain committed to seek and maintain such relationships as we strive to broaden our network of partners through a Supplier Diversity Program. This program is designed to encourage, recruit, and utilize certified diverse suppliers in each of our strategic sourcing projects and welcome minority-owned, woman-owned, and disabled veteran-owned businesses (MBE/WBE/DVBE). Our supplier diversity program is based upon guidelines established by the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) for regulated energy and telecommunication utilities.
American Water believes that a commitment to supplier diversity is good business and a benefit for the communities it serves. Many best in class companies show this commitment by developing a diverse supplier base within the communities in which they operate. Our expectation is that the expansion of the available vendor base will ultimately lead to lower procurement costs.
Learn more about our Supplier Diversity Program's Policy, Vision and Mission.
How to determine if you are a diverse supplier - If you own and operate a company that is 51% owned and operated by a minority, woman or disabled veteran, you may qualify to become certified as a diverse vendor. To obtain the application to become certified, please visit the web-site of the Supplier Clearinghouse at http://www.thesupplierclearinghouse.com/.
Insurance Requirements - California American Water maintains a safe work environment and we expect our vendor partners to do the same while performing work for us. Please be prepared to present your certificate of insurance showing what your current coverage is along with your certificate from the Supplier Clearinghouse when discussing business opportunities with us.
Calendar of Events - The 2012 calendar of supplier diversity events is currently being constructed.

Head coach Brett Brown indicated on Monday that Noel, who tore his ACL last February while playing for the Kentucky Wildcats, may not be ready to play this season. Early reports were that Noel could return to the court as early as Christmas.
Noel was the sixth overall pick in the NBA Draft last June. Originally selected by the New Orleans Pelicans, he was sent to Philadelphia on a draft- night deal along with a 2014 first round pick for All-Star point guard Jrue Holiday.
Noel averaged 10.5 points, 9.5 rebounds, 4.4 blocks and 2.1 steals per game in his only season in Lexington and was considered a candidate for the top overall pick before suffering his knee injury.
