Polly Bergen has died at 84; star of 'Winds of War'

Billy Crystal on 'Tonight Show' recalls Robin Williams
Billy Crystal -- who gave a reasonably perfect tribute to his friend Robin Wiliams during the 66th Annual Primetime Emmys telecast -- spoke Thursday to Jimmy Fallon during "The Tonight Show" about his own feelings during and before the speech.
Among them: "I was afraid I wasn't going to get through it ..." In this clip, he and Fallon share memories of a bus trip to Washington, and Williams' comment to him during a speech by a former presidential candidate. (It's all very funny, but some of the language here is a little blue -- a warning to those who might be offended.) Readers on mobile devices can find the clip here: http://www.hulu.com/watch/689092

Darrell Hammond named Don Pardo's replacement on 'Saturday Night Live'
Darrell Hammond, the veteran "Saturday Night Live" cast member whose world famous impressions have ranged from Donald Trump to Bill Clinton, will soon fill one of TV's most iconic roles — as the man who will replace Don Pardo.
The news broke earlier Thursday morning, on USA Today's website, and "The Today Show" just confirmed the appointment. Hammond, 58, will become the voice of "SNL" when the new season begins — a job that essentially means the recitation of cast members' names at the show's open, along with various other in-show announcements throughout. Pardo, who died recently at the age of 96, held the job of announcer for 39 seasons; the baton, so to speak, will be handed to Hammond for the 40th which begins Sept. 27.
Hammond's appointment was certainly expected — he's almost literally part of the set at Studio 8H: A nearly continual presence there for many years, and where he set the record for the longest tenure of any repertory player (14 seasons) when he left at the end of the 34th season. Hammond, arguably, was the best-known cast member of the '90s.
Bill Hader - maybe Stefon - back to 'SNL' Oct. 11
Bill Hader - gone from "Saturday Night Live" since 2013, and yes, the absence has been keenly felt - is coming home, for a day. He'll host the Oct. 11 edition of "Saturday Night Live," with Hozier as musical guest. Hader has had a successful post-"SNL" run, currently starring in the well-reviewed "The Skeleton Twins," with Kristen Wiig, Ty Burrell, and Luke Wilson. Will Stefon make an appearance on Oct. 11? (Please . . . do we really have to ask?)

'Royal Pains'' Mark Feuerstein joins 'Nurse Jackie's' final season
Mark Feuerstein (you perhaps know him best as Hank Lawson of "Royal Pains") is joining the seventh and final season of "Nurse Jackie." And just to quickly clarify: He remains with "Pains" (a big hit for USA), while this role will essentially be confined to six episodes. Here's what Showtime is saying:
"Feuerstein will play Barry Wolfe, a high-powered, cutthroat lawyer who will represent Jackie as she pieces her life back together following her arrest last season."
Tony Shalhoub, as you may also know, has also joined "Jackie" -- currently in production -- so the final lap is looking more and more interesting. "Jackie," as you know, is chock full of terrific New York actors, of which Feuerstein is one.

My First Peek at Oberlin History
Hey, I'm Eva Fineberg and I will be the new webmaster at the Oberlin College Archives!
This week concluded my third week of working part-time at the Archives under my trusty mentor James Scott. As a computer science major, when I was first hired as Assistant Webmaster I expected the job to be coding intensive. And while James has patiently been showing me the ropes of the website I've been pleasantly surprised by the variety of tasks this job entails.
For starters, the volume of the collection is huge. Who knew how much history was stored away in a quiet section of 4th floor Mudd? After getting a quick and exciting tour of the system of shelving I was anxious to see more of the history actually stored inside the boxes. Soon enough a project required James and I to search for a photograph of a young woman who graduated from Oberlin in 1909. The photographs in the collection of graduates from 1909 say a lot about the time – the fashion and the poise of the graduates emulate the more formal feel Oberlin once had despite its history as a forward-moving, progressive institution. In fact, the woman whose photo we were searching for was a Women's Studies major, yet almost all group photos were divided by gender. The search was an insightful glimpse into some the history Oberlin's Archives hold and I look forward to doing more things just like it.
The photograph we searched for is for a student project for History 213. History 213 is a class titled First Wave American Feminism taught in Spring 2013. All of the projects for that class, can be found at: http://oberlin.edu/archive/teaching/projects/hist213.html

Great treat to occupy your dog
posted 5 years ago
These are fantastic treat and time-occupiers for your dog. My dog always enjoyed lamb and rice food, so I focused on these (versus the liver ones, which she wasn't as crazy about). The leave almost no mess at all. The only downside is that they can be a bit expensive at some stores... but, to be honest, even with the extra cost they are worth it since they last a very long time.
Pros: Easy on stomachs, last forever, no mess
Cons: Sometimes can be pricey

Great snack!
posted 6 years ago
I only recomend these if you find them at a cheaper price than Petsmart... Our target has them for $3 less than Petsmart and that is the only time i buy them... They REALLY love Nylabones, so i try to get them every now and them. They love the Lamb & Rice flavor and will gnaw on these for hours.
Pros: They last longer than other treats
Cons: They are expensive

Worth the price

Saturday was a night to remember for the cystic fibrosis community in Nebraska.
Michelle Smidt has been living with cystic fibrosis for almost forty 41 years.
"It can be a roller coaster ride," Smidt said.
But Smidt said it's days like Saturday that keep her going.
Concerned Nebraskans for Cystic Fibrosis held its 12th annual 65 Roses fundraiser to help raise money for those living with cystic fibrosis.
"It's beyond words what it means to see all these people come out and support it," Smidt said. "It's just amazing."
Smidt said she's had a strong support system throughout her journey. She ultimately hopes a cure will be found.
"Some day I won't have to do all these treatments, I won't have to take all these pills, I won't have to do hospital stays," Smidt said. "I won't have to do any of that stuff."
About 250 people came out to the Pla Mor Ballroom for the event. Channel 8's very own Rod Fowler emceed.
The fundraiser featured a silent auction with dozens of items to be bid on, and plenty of food provided by Raising Canes among other businesses. There was even a chance to shine on the dance floor.
Michelle Tyser's husband lost the battle to cystic fibrosis in 1995. A good portion of the money raised will go toward college scholarships in his name for teens living with cystic fibrosis.
"He would be really proud of what I'm still doing today to help people with CF, and help people go to college and get an education," Tyser said.
Organizers said they hope to raise about $11,000 this year.

Hello, it struck me that there are very few articles that deal with how panic attacks actually FEEL when you're experiencing them, and that writing one might help people who go through them feel less alone.
If you'd like to contribute (anonymously or otherwise), THANK YOU, and contact details are at the end of the post.
As you may or may not know, I've had an anxiety and panic disorder most of my adult life, and even spent four years as a housebound agoraphobic. But I experience panic attacks in a very personal way – I know others may find it hard to catch their breath, or find their thoughts racing, or any number of other symptoms. I think it might help other anxiety sufferers if I captured as many of them as possible.
Here are some descriptions of my own panic attacks as I've written about them:
"One morning, I was aimlessly browsing in Boots when the ground tilted sharply beneath my feet. My palms flooded with sweat and I was struck by the kind of wooziness you may have felt if, and I don't mean to be presumptuous here, you've ever drunk too much cheap cider."
– Inner You: Have You Got The Fear, ELLE.
"The shopping mall began vibrating imperceptibly around me. The halogen lights grew too bright and jarring, and everyone seemed to be staring at me. I'd felt a little sick in the car earlier, but had chalked that up to a recent bout of flu. I was light-headed and self-conscious. The world started to spin and throb and my stomach swooped and pitched and cramped up.
"The attacks came thick and fast after that, in any enclosed space outside my home – on the train to my boyfriend's house; on the bus to my bar job. The world would pulse and warp, and a tremendous dam of nausea would build up inside me until I'd either faint, or be trapped inside a terrible vertiginous inertia.
"When I came to – or couldn't take it anymore – I'd phone whoever I was trying to see, lie unrepentantly, then hurry home to chain-smoke and drink sugary tea until I stopped shaking. And each time, the shakes would take longer to leave me."
– I Was Housebound With Agoraphobia, xoJane.
Oh, and if it's any help at all, here are some practical tips I wrote on how to survive a panic attack.
The piece I'm writing will probably be for BuzzFeed. If you'd like to contribute you can reply to this comment, contact me on Tumblr or email me at robyn dot wilder at buzzfeed dot com.
If you'd like to stay anonymous please just write "anonymous" at the end of your account, or just let me know how much info about you to include.
THANK YOU! xx
5 ways to survive a panic attack - by me, for Buzzfeed.
For I know of what I speak, etc.
When I was 21 I thought I was fearless. I wasn't, of course - say the word 'spider' to me and I'd run a mile. But, during my teens I'd done slightly odd things like hitchhiking to Glastonbury Festival, and running away to the USA for a summer. Now I was fresh out of university, flat-sharing with friends, and having the time of my life. Sure, I wasn't completely confident of what I wanted to do work-wise and my income depended on bar work, but who wouldn't be happy boasting a guitarist boyfriend, a mane of waist-length, pillarbox-red hair, and their very own not-that-terrible-actually band? Not me. Life was good.
Until, very suddenly and completely without warning, it wasn't. One morning, I was aimlessly browsing in Boots when the ground tilted sharply beneath my feet. My palms flooded with sweat and I was struck by the kind of wooziness you may have felt if, and I don't mean to be presumptuous here, you've ever drunk too much cheap cider and urgently needed to be sick in a hedge.
With my stomach threatening to explosively empty itself, I scanned the shop for the closest exit. But by that point, the world was see-sawing so violently that I crashed headfirst into the mother & baby aisle and blacked out. Other shoppers looked on in horror as, when I came to, I clambered out from under a large pile of breast pumps and legged it.
I'd never experienced anything like it before, so naturally, I assumed I had somehow contracted Ebola, or that the zombie apocalypse had hit. But, after a restorative cup of tea, I felt perfectly normal again. And as I was neither bleeding from my eyeballs nor craving human flesh, I decided it was just one of Those Things.
However, the next day I went funny again in the local newsagent.
They let me in ELLE Magazine again! This time I'm wibbling about anxiety in the September issue. To quote Dr Steve Brule, check it out!
I hold down a full-time middle-management editorial job, a freelance writing career I mainly conduct during loo breaks and, for the last few months, I've been looking after my seriously ill mother. Something had to give.
Last week I quit my job because I couldn't find my sports bra - by me, for xoJane.
In any enclosed space outside my home – the train to my boyfriend's house; the bus to my bar job - the world would pulse and warp, and a tremendous dam of nausea would build up inside me until I'd either faint, or be trapped inside a terrible vertiginous inertia.
I write about the four years I spent as a housebound agoraphobic with severe panic disorder in my early twenties - and subsequent recovery - for xoJane.
Plus I manage to crowbar in references to Whitesnake, Yoda, and shitting yourself. Hooray!

Midyear restaurant report: Will 2014 be the year of the sequel?
It's not just the movie business that's stuck in sequel mode. The restaurant scene in Baltimore, for the first half of 2014, has been a continuous story of returns, reboots and reimaginings.

Why I Hate Back-to-School Time
Guest blogger Kimberly Seals Allers: While nothing will bring me more joy than putting my two "little people" back on the school bus in a few days, what it will take to get us all there is, quite frankly, a real pain in the ass. As soon as August rolls around, the TV becomes full of ads featuring cheery kids in bright plaid outfits and cutesy hats who are dancing around to upbeat music as they board a yellow school bus. You may notice something, however: There are no moms in these ads!!

I had been curious about if you ever thought of changing the layout of your blog? Its very well written; I enjoy what you have got to say. But maybe you could add a little more in the way of written content so people could connect to it better. Youve got a great deal of text for only having one or two photographs. Maybe you can space it out better?
Where are you from?
I tried looking at your website on my new iphone 4 and the design doesnt seem to be correct. Might wanna check it out on WAP as well as it seems most cell phone layouts are not really working with your site.

I got the gunship... love it. The picture posted on this site is actually more realistic than the one on nixon's site. The only problem I had is that the crown for the small dial broke off in the first month I got the watch.. Got a brand new one from nixon tough. The finish is awesome.. it's supposed to wear of with time and I find myself constantly looking for imperfections as it's supposed to do so. By the way, I saw the 51-30 in the same finish.. just to bad it was a little more costy cause I would've gotten that one instead.. looks sick

Nigerian authorities have largely ignored sectarian clashes in the nation's religiously mixed central region that have killed 3,000 people since 2010, Human Rights Watch said on Thursday.
Local police rejected the findings by the international watchdog, which said that a series of massacres and tit-for-tat sectarian attacks have gone largely unpunished as police overlooked witnesses or failed to collect evidence properly.
"Witnesses came forward to tell their stories, compiled lists of the dead, and identified the attackers, but in most cases nothing was done," said Daniel Bekele, Africa director at Human Rights Watch.
"The authorities may have forgotten these killings, but communities haven't. In the absence of justice, residents have resorted to violence to avenge their losses," he said of a new 146-page report entitled 'Leave Everything to God'.

The Antinori family of Florence, one of the world's oldest and most distinguished wine producers, has lived in Tuscany since the 14th century and celebrated its 625th anniversary as wine makers in 2010. The current company president, Marchese Piero Antinori, believes in the tradition that the primary role of wine is to accompany food and enhance the dining experience. In Florence, the Antinori family has led a "Renaissance" in Italian wine making by combining long traditions, a love of authenticity and a dynamic innovative spirit.

Holy cow, I wrote a book!
A customer noticed that environment variables were being
truncated at 2047 characters and wanted to know what
the maximum length of an environment variable is.
This is one of those cases where you can answer the customer's
question or you can try to answer the question the customer is
really asking.
If you just answer the question, you're doing the customer a disservice.
The theoretical maximum length of an environment variable
is around 32,760 characters.
However, you are unlikely to attain that theoretical maximum in
All environment variables must live together in a single environment
block, which itself has a limit of 32767 characters.
But that count is the sum over all environment variable names and
so you could, I guess, hit that theoretical maximum length if
you deleted all the environment variables and then set a single
variable called X with that really huge 32,760-character value.
In practice, of course,
you have to share the environment block with all the other
variables in the block,
so your random call to SetEnvironmentVariable with
a 32,760-character string is unlikely to succeed.
But that's not your only practical limit.
It also depends on how you're setting the variable;
i.e., the code that your environment-variable-setting technique
passes through before it gets to the
SetEnvironmentVariable call.
If you're using a batch file,
then you're constrained by
the maximum command line length
since the environment variable needs to fit into the command line
buffer of the batch processor.
On the other hand, maybe you're setting the Environment registry key,
in which case
you run into a 2048-character limit
in the code that parses that registry key and builds an environment
block out of it.
There's also a limitation in the dialog box for interactively
setting environment variables, the numeric value of which I don't
happen to know off the top of my head.
This is one of those skills you have to develop when answering
questions from customers:
Taking the customer's question and trying to figure out
what their real question is.
There was quite a bit of reaction to what I thought was a simple
"Hey, here's what's going on" article from last year,
specifically on how the Adaptive Display Timeout means that
Windows doesn't always start the screen saver exactly on time.
As you may recall, this feature adjusts the time it takes for
the screen saver to activate if the user keeps dismissing it
immediately after it starts.
One of those small things that makes the computer adapt to you
rather than vice versa,
and an adaptation that you probably don't even notice when it happens.
I think these two responses below summarize the extremes of
the types of reactions this feature generated.
Vista/W7 has some nice touches too.
Such little things is what we love about Macs.
Ich finde das erstaunlich.
In einem Linux-System kann man soetwas relativ leicht selber scripten,
und sich z.B. einen Button erzeugen,
der den Bildschirmschoner kurzzeitig ganz ausschaltet.
Sowas geht unter Windows freilich auch, aber kaum ein User
kennt das System hinreichend gut.
Deshalb stellen sich dort solche Probleme. Erstaunlich.
This is incredible.
On Linux, you can script this yourself relatively easily
and create, for example, a button which
completely disables the screen saver for a short time.
Admittedly, you can also do this on Windows, but
hardly any users know the system that well.
And therefore we have these types of problems.
On the one hand, the feature is something so cool,
it must have been stolen from a Mac.
On the other hand, this feature shows everything that is
wrong with Windows.
I mean, on Linux, you can solve this problem by simply
writing a script!
Surely by now
you've seen the video
where NextGenHacker101 shows you how
to use the "Tracer T" program to view "how many IP's are
looking at Google", their name, and connection speed (to then to then to then).
(And commenter squizz
explains why it "worked" in spite of the http prefix.)
But more awesome is the fact
that somebody ported the video to linux!
Bonus video craziness:
It's in Korean but somehow that just adds to the insanity.
(Warning: Five minutes of your life you will never get back.)
The comments on the YouTube video identify the song as
"Bo Peep Bo Peep <- possibly
the most addictive/annoying song ever."
Functions like
GetFileAttributes and
FindFirstFile, when asked to provide information about
a symbolic link,
returns information about the link itself and not the link destination.
If you use the FindFirstFile function,
you can tell that you have a symbolic link because the
file attributes will have the FILE_ATTRIBUTES_REPARSE_POINT
flag set,
and the dwReserved0 member will contain the special value
Okay, great, so now I know I have a symbolic link,
but what if I want information about the link target?
For example, I want to know the size of the link target,
its last-modified time, and its name.
To do this, you open the symbolic link.
The I/O manager dereferences the symbolic link and gives
you a handle to the link destination.
You can then call functions like
to obtain information about the symbolic link target.
If the field is called dwReserved0,
shouldn't it be off limits?
Why isn't the field called dwReparsePointType?

It has been
widely reported
that South Carolina now
requires "subversive groups" to register
with the Secretary of State
(and pay a $5 filing fee).
Curiously, the list of organizations which must register include
"an organization subject to foreign control."
I wonder if this means that all consulates have to register,
and that when any foreign dignitary visits
South Carolina, they have to pay a $5 filing fee.
(Not to mention all foreign-owned companies like Shell Oil.)
Actually, it has been pointed out that a "subversive organization"
includes one which advocates, teaches, or practices the propriety
of controlling the government of the United States.
I guess this means all political parties are subversive organizations.
(Something most of us knew already.)
And apparently, in your registration, you also have to
include the bylaws or minutes of meetings from the last year.
I wonder whether you have to resubmit the minutes each year.
I'm sure somebody could keep a government bureaucrat busy for a long time
by submitting hundreds of pages of "minutes".
Anyway, this is a long and largely superfluous set-up for a different story.
The mother of a colleague of mine came to visit from Canada.
For some reason, the United States requires visitors to fill out a
questionnaire asking them whether they are a drug dealer,
whether they are a Nazi war criminal, and this question:
Do you advocate the overthrow of the United States government
by force or subversion?
The sweet old lady
studied the question for a while,
then circled force.
Bonus weirdness:
On the form, it also says
"Answering Yes will not necessarily
exclude you from admission to the United States."
Oscar Night is a few weeks away, but
when you settle in to watch the show with your bowl of popcorn,
please be aware that inhaling deeply from the
fumes of a freshly-opened bag of microwave popcorn is
not the greatest decision you can make from a health standpoint.
(Then again, you probably ought to reconsider
eating microwave popcorn in the first place,
but let's leave that aside.)
A disease informally known as popcorn lung afflicts
people who work in popcorn factories and has been known since 2002.
But in 2007,
doctor diagnosed the first case of popcorn lung in an end-user.
The risk is not from eating the popcorn but from breathing it.
"This patient described enjoying the smell so much he was
actually inhaling the steam."
The best part of the article was when the patient was asked,
"Are you around a lot of popcorn?"
The response:
"I am popcorn."
Update: Oscar Night is
not actually this weekend.
That's what happens when you schedule your blog entries over a year
in advance and have to guess when Oscar Night is coming.
Pplu wonders
why programs run more slowly when the system is running with
multiple monitors.
Well, for one thing, of course, when you have more than one monitor,
there's more stuff on the screen for the system to keep track of.
It's the same reason that programs run more slowly on a large monitor
than on a small monitor.
And if there's only one monitor,
then functions like MonitorFromPoint become
trivial if the flag is something like MONITOR_DEFAULTTONEAREST,
because when there's only one monitor,
answering questions like "What monitor is closest to this point"?
becomes very easy.
If your two monitors are not the same dimensions,
then the union of the two monitors will not be rectangular,
which makes clipping against the union of all monitors
more complicated.
But I suspect the big penalty for multiple monitors
kicks in if you make the mistake of setting your monitors
to different color formats,
for example, if you set one monitor to 565 format
and set another to 24bpp.
If the two monitors do not use the same color format,
then programs will be forced to use DIBs instead of DDBs
for screen bitmaps,
in case a window is moved to a window with a different
color format (or worse, is positioned so it straddles
two monitors with different color formats).
In principle, programs need only use the "worst-case" DIB;
for example, if one monitor is 555 and the other is 565,
then a 565 DIB will suffice.
In practice, however, most programs just fall back to a
24bpp or 32bpp DIB when faced with monitors with different
color formats.
(You query whether all monitors have the same color format
by calling GetSystemMetrics(SM_SAMEDISPLAYFORMAT).)
Since a format conversion takes place when a DIB is blitted
to a device with a different color format,
forcing a program to retain its bitmaps as DIBs means that
for at least one of the monitors (and probably both),
you're going to undergo a format conversion when that DIB
is drawn to the screen.
There are also
a few miscellaneous optimizations which are disabled
when not all your monitors use the same color format
because the cost of using DIBs outweighs the savings
from the optimization.
So if you haven't already,
go into your display settings and check that you set all
your monitors to the same color depth.
If you don't do this,
then a large class of graphics optimizations is lost.
Not sure it helps, though.
We saw fibers a long time ago when I looked at how you can
use fibers as a form of coroutines to simplify the writing of
A fiber is a handy tool,
but it's a tool with very sharp edges.
fibers are promiscuous with threads,
you have to be careful when running code that cares
about what thread it is running on,
because that code may discover that its thread
changed out from under it.
For example, critical sections and mutexes remember which thread
owns them.
If you enter a critical section on a fiber,
and then you unschedule the fiber,
then reschedule it onto a different thread,
and then you leave the critical section,
your critical section will end up corrupted because
you broke the rule that says that a critical section
must be exited on the same thread that entered it.
Actually, you were already in bad shape once you unscheduled
the fiber while it owned a resource:
An unscheduled fiber cannot release the resource.
Unscheduling a fiber is like
suspending a thread:
Anybody who later waits for that fiber to do anything will be
waiting for an awful long time,
because the fiber isn't running at all.
The difference, though, is that the fiber is unscheduled at controlled
points in its execution, so you at least have a chance at suspending
it at a safe time if you understand what the fiber is doing.
For example, suppose you enter a critical section on a fiber,
and then unschedule the fiber.
Some time later, a thread (either running as a plain thread
or a thread which is hosting a fiber)
tries to enter the critical section.
One of two things can happen:
More generally,
if you use an object which has thread affinity on a fiber,
you are pretty much committed to keeping that fiber on that
thread until the affinity is broken.
This affinity can be subtle,
because most code was not written with fibers in mind.
Any code which calls TlsGetValue has thread
because thread local storage is a per-thread value,
not a per-fiber value.
(This also applies to moral equivalents to TlsGetValue,
like code which calls GetCurrentThreadId and uses it as
a lookup key in a table.)
You need to use FlsGetValue to get values
which follow fibers around.
But on the other hand, if the code is not running on a fiber,
then you can't call FlsGetValue since there is no
fiber to retrieve the value from.
This dichotomy means that it's very hard if not impossible
to write code that is both thread-safe and fiber-aware
if it needs to store data externally on a per-thread/fiber basis.
Even if you manage to detect whether you are running on a thread or
a fiber and call the appropriate function,
if somebody calls ConvertThreadToFiber or
then the correct location for storing your data changed
behind your back.
If you are calling into code that you do not yourself control,
then in the absence of documentation to the contrary,
you don't really have enough information to know whether
the function is safe to call on a fiber.
For example, C runtime functions like
have thread affinity (even though there's nothing obviously
threadlike about comparing strings)
because they rely on the current thread's locale.
Bottom line:
(similar to the bottom line from
last time):
You have to understand the code that runs on your fiber,
or you may end up accidentally stabbing yourself in the eyeball.
Bonus chatter:
Structured exception handling is fiber-safe since it
is stack-based rather than thread-based.
Note, however, that when you call ConvertThreadToFiber,
any active structured exception handling frames on the thread
become part of the fiber.

Jordan Bastian of MLB.com reports that Josh Tomlin has lost his arbitration case with the Indians.
Tomlin's hearing was Friday. The 29-year old pitcher was asking for $975,000 with the Indians countering at $800,000. Since he lost the case, Tomlin will make $800,000 for 2014.
The right-hander pitched in only one game for the Tribe last year, throwing two scoreless innings against the White Sox after sitting out the year due to Tommy John surgery. He made $501,800 in 2013.

Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
Put Burmi in, see if he learned anything
Play talented forward or consider trade
Claude Noel's point should have sunk in by now. It's time to find out.
Alex Burmistrov needs to go back in the lineup. It's also time for Burmistrov to show he's capable of learning and maturing as a player.
Burmistrov is talented -- an asset. But not if the coach won't use him. A gifted player, no matter his perceived shortcomings, is useless in the press box.
Noel is also culpable in this little drama. Part of his job is to figure out how to coach Burmistrov. Giving up on him is unacceptable at this stage. There's no limit to the talent Burmistrov owns.
Noel has demonstrated his power to the player. Now it's time to find a way to get what he wants from him. That, or tell the GM it's just not happening and to try to swing a deal to get equal value. Then live with the consequences of moving a first-round pick still on his entry-level contract.
Either way, there must be a resolution, because Burmistrov remains an asset. One to be played or one to be leveraged.
Despite an excellent run on the penalty kill, the Jets need Burmistrov's presence on the PK and in their bottom six forwards. The fourth line has barely played, garnering poor results when it has.
Burmistrov is without question an upgrade in talent from a number of forwards the Jets used in Sunday's 4-1 loss to the Ottawa Senators.
Is he a better team player? That's up to him and now is the time for him to decide. It's pout or play.
Noel has kept his reasons for holding Burmistrov out of the lineup to himself, but it's no leap to conclude it boils down to the talented third-year pro not playing within the coach's structure.
Noel wants his team to play a north-south style and Burmistrov wants to freelance and zig-zag.
The Jets won the first three games with Burmistrov out and as long as the team is winning it's difficult to mount a case against Noel's choices. The fact the Jets shot up to third in the conference cemented Noel's thinking.
Burmistrov is going to be a pro for a long time but he has lessons to learn. Key among them right now is learning the coach is the boss and playing within the structure he sets down is the way to stay in the lineup.
Either way it's time to find out what Alex Burmistrov is made of.
Put him in, coach.

The teen pop sensation was targeted for murder and castration by a crazy New Mexican dude. Baby, baby indeed!
Photo: Scott Weiner / Retna Ltd. | Licensed to Alpha Media Group 2012
Gentlemen, you might want to hold on to your junk when you read this. Justin Bieber, the 18-year-old pop star who makes tween girls (and blow dryer manufacturers) swoon, was the target of a plot hatched by a New Mexican prisoner to kill and castrate him. This sicko hired two other thugs to remove the little Biebers at his recent Madison Square Garden show, but the plan went south when one of the guys was busted in upstate New York late last month with pruning shears that, allegedly, were to be used to chop off the famous nuts for a price of $2,500 each. We may not be fans of Bieber, but no man deserves to have his balls chopped off. Well, except maybe this guy:

I usually get the BBQ chicken skinless #4 I believe. I have also had the Atkins platter which is also very good. I think it depends which one you go to quality wise. The one in Anaheim at Ball and Brookhurst is not that great. But the one in the LBC at Willow and the Blvd is much better. In Anaheim I much prefer "Ohana BBQ" at SCB Lincoln near the Rite Aid and the Hometown Buffet. I guess it depends which one you go to......

Hmm....I think it's aiiight. I also prefer Ohana Hawaiian BBQ. My absolute favorite is The Local Place in Torrance. YUM!

COLDWATER, MI (WTVB) - Downtown Coldwater can expect a huge crowd on Saturday, June 15 for the annual Strawberry Fest and Craft Show. This year's event will once again feature a full slate of entertainment at either end of the festival from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saxophone player Randall Hazelbaker will entertain with notes of jazz in the southwest corner park next to the Museum Gallery.
Four musical performances will take place in front of the Coach Eby Youth and Family Center at the west end of town. Performing at 10 a.m. is Shanneen, a talented local vocalist who loves to sing R&B, Soul, Jazz, and Blues songs. At 11 a.m. is Maria Hostetler, a young vocalist from Bronson, Michigan, who is full of energy and performs pop, country and classic songs. Megan Young alongside Kennedy Kiersey are singing at 12 p.m. This sisterly dup has a youthful energy with Young playing guitar and Kiersey putting her own spin on vocals. Following is Aleix Noelle, an aspiring country artist from Quincy. These performers will each play a 45-60 minute set.
"Festival goers will be able to stop and enjoy local talent in between perusing the vendor booths throughout the day," said Dave Nagle, DBA President. "Bring lawn chairs or sit at the picnic tables and enjoy a set or two while eating lunch."
Food and beverage vendors will be conveniently located next to both stages for the event. Over 120 local strawberry producers, merchants, crafters, church groups, civic organizations, and more will have booths set up on either side of Chicago Street in downtown Coldwater from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Products range from lawn and garden decorations, wooden creations, pottery, jewelry, beauty supplies, and many more unique handcrafted items.

Sometimes in life, opportunities come along that seem way too good to be true: a promising job offer that allows you to work from home with unlimited sick days, winning an all-expenses-paid trip for two to Bermuda, and in my case, meeting a man online who goes by the handle HoopTR46.

He had thick, well-shaped eyebrows and mesmerizing, forest green eyes. After checking out his profile, I learned that he was my age, has a prestigious role at a well-known advertising company (which happens to be only one block from my office), that he's very well-traveled, has a great education, is witty, athletic, spontaneous and overall too good to be true.

I am working with a small group that is considering the possibility of opening a new private school. It would have around 300 students and would be grades 5 through 8.
I would love your input on how you would design a school's network infrastructure if you were starting from scratch. I realize this is a very open ended question but I'm looking for you to get as specific as you would like.
I'm looking for things like: I would recommend having one Mac lab and one Windows based lab so students can get experience with both systems.
I'm looking for things from the back end server setup all the way to what hardware should be attached to each teacher's pc such as a smart board.
The budget isn't part of the picture yet. So, assume there is funding for implementing a good solution with a reasonable price. This shouldn't be considered a project where money is no object but one where technology will be a big part of the children's education like it would be at most modern schools.
Thanks in advance.

So not only did we love the house but our guess as well.we could go on and on but will end with this our family had a blast and will be back soon.
Thank you
Dion & Janiva Moore
and the Moore family
