The Great Gatsby - Official Trailer #1
However, it looks to me like there might be quite a bit of deviating from the book? Which I guess is fine, there's already a great movie which follows the book (and mmm Robert Redford). It'll be interesting to see. Either way it's obviously going to be mega-eyecandy.

ALKJDALSKDJALSKDJ. I don't know whether to be scared or super-excited. The Great Gatsby is my favorite novel, and I LUUUUURVE the 1974 movie (I might go watch it now actually…INSPIRATION) *swoon*
Just look at that cast. I think Leo could be a delicious Jay and Ben Affleck as Tom? Look at the picture in the article and tell me it won't be NOM. I think it could be awesome. But it could also turn into a giant clusterfuck, as remade classics can be.
Not sure about the 3D though (unless they do some killer scenery/ballrooms and stuff that would make it more than a "gimmick"). Or Tobey Maguire as Nick (forever Spiderman…). Only time will tell!

Thomas Quinn | tqvinn on Tumblr - Face reality as it is
I just did a little test with something called 'anamorphic typography'. Essentially, it is an illusion where the type looks just right when viewed from the exact right spot, but it looks stretched and warped when viewed from elsewhere in the room. We might be doing something similar in a HOLLY HUNT showrooms later this year, so I did this in a room above my parents' garage to make sure I could pull it off when the time comes. For what it is worth, I certainly didn't invent this sort of thing, and I'd like to give lots of credit to this project by Joseph Egan and Hunter Thompson for tipping me off to the idea, as well as the artist Felice Varini, who is doing this sort of thing on a much larger and much more impressive scale.

20 Things You Probably Didn't Know About: Jars of Clay
- Tuesday, November 30, 2004
9. Cash Connection
Dan wrote the foreword to Dave Urbanski's book "The Man Comes Around: The Spiritual Journey of Johnny Cash." You'll have to pick up a copy to discover Dan's personal connection to The Man in Black.
8. Thanks, Bono
At this year's Dove Awards, Bono — via video from Dublin, Ireland — introduced Jars' performance by mentioning the impact of one of the band's songs ("Jesus Blood Never Failed Me Yet") that he's been listening to for the past year. "Surreal," describes Matt. "It was humbling," says Dan. "We look up to Bono as a man who has carried a vision for the gospel in music for a long time. I stood at a recent U2 concert and wept because I was seeing what it looks like when Christians move away from safety and take risks, risks that show a much more relevant and wide side of God's character."
7. Surreality Check
Looking back through the years, the guys think their most surreal moment was playing a show with Duran Duran or getting cookies from Lisa Loeb's mother.
6. No, Wait ...
It was probably watching Sting, clad only in a loincloth, practicing yoga in the courtyard of a Texas amphitheater hours before they were playing a concert together.
5. No, This, Now This Is It ...
Dan talked with Barry Manilow at the Apple Store in Soho (New York City).
4. Surreal (Final Submission)
In Connecticut, they were in a conversation that simultaneously included Miss America, Donny Most (Ralph the Mouth from "Happy Days"), Gary Wright (1976 No. 1 hit "Dreamweaver") and Dave Mason (1977 hit "We Just Disagree"). Dan surmises, "That doesn't happen but maybe once every 75 years!"
3. Mapping the Future
While on the road, Dan found an old schoolhouse map from 1920 that shows all the train routes and plane routes in America. "I use it to show my son where I will be going and how close to home or far away I will be."
2. The Ultimate Retro Worship Album
It's not surprising that Jars of Clay would consider making a worship project, but what is unexpected is the path the band's taking. They're doing a major time warp — and we're not talking dropping drum loops on "Nothing But the Blood." We're talking hymns that are more than 200 years old.
1. Ancient and Timeless
"This has been one of the most inspiring and faith-deepening projects we have ever done together," muses Dan. "We have taken hymn text from the 18th century, stuff from Europe that had no melodies, and we have constructed songs. The text is so rich. I hope people will love this record as much as we have loved the process and the education behind the creative process."

The Utah teapot is a 3D model created in 1975 by Martin Newell which has become a standard reference object in the computer graphics community. It is a simple, round, partially concave mathematical model of an ordinary teapot. The objective of Utanalog by Unfold is to return the iconographic teapot to its roots as a piece of functional dish-ware while showing its status as an icon of the digital world.

TO satisfy our ever-growing need for computing power, many technology companies have moved their work to data centers with tens of thousands of power-gobbling servers. Concentrated in one place, the servers produce enormous heat. The additional power needed for cooling them — up to half of the power used to run them — is the steep environmental price we have paid to move data to the so-called cloud.
The paper looks at how the servers — though still operated by their companies — could be placed inside homes and used as a source of heat. The authors call the concept the "data furnace."

Floyd County Board of Supervisors Meeting
June 29, 2009, 9:00 AM
The Floyd County Board of Supervisors met for workshop session at 9:00 a.m. on Monday, June 29, 2009, in the Board Room of the Floyd County Courthouse with the following in attendance: Chairman Staudt, Supv Dunkel, and Supv Enabnit.
Enabnit/Dunkel moved to approve the agenda as presented. Motion carried 3-0.
Laurie Kristiansen, FMC Empowerment Coordinator, and the Board discussed fiscal agent fees for processing claims for School Ready and Early Childhood state and federal funds. The County is currently charging 3% on empowerment expenses which calculates to approximately $80.30 per claim using the FY08 fiscal agent revenue of $21,681. Kristiansen provided information from other fiscal agents ranging from "in kind" services to an $8,000 annual base fee plus expenses. Supv Staudt and Kristiansen proposed a fee of $30. The Empowerment Board meets tonight to act on this. The Board of Supervisors will act on this at a special meeting on July 1.
The Auditor asked the Board for their consideration of waiving the "additional insured" application requirement for the Floyd County Fair Society to use the Courthouse property to display a wagon with a banner advertising the upcoming fair. The Board is concerned about someone being tempted by the attraction of the wagon, climbing on it, falling and sustaining injuries, and the county being liable. The Fair Society can place a posted sign on the property as they have in the past but not the wagon without meeting the insurance requirements as approved at the June 23 meeting.
Frank Rottinghaus, County Treasurer, informed the Board of funds received through the Iowa Tax and Tag Program. The annual distribution for Floyd County was $61.41.
The Board noted the receipt of a resolution from the City of Floyd regarding approving and authorizing a loan and disbursement agreement and providing for the issuance of $200,000 General Obligation Water Improvement Bonds and providing for the levy of taxes to pay the same.
The Board discussed room temperature controls in courthouse offices. Discussion included appropriate ranges of temperatures for optimum efficiency of computers, printers, and other equipment as well as for employee working environment. Supv Staudt will send a letter addressing issues.
Gail Arjes, PH/HHC Director, visited with the Board regarding upgrading the Canon copy machine for a cost of $2,250.
Pat McDonnell, Board of Health President and Heart to Home Hospice board representative, spoke to the Board about the potential for the County to utilize the Hospice building for the PH/HHC Agency. Relocating the PH/HHC department would address space issues that are problematic at the county. The current lease for the building between Heart to Home Hospice and Mercy-North Iowa Hospice ends January 1, 2010.
Handwritten claims to be paid before the end of the fiscal year were signed.
Doug Schroeder, Conservation Director, updated the Board on grants and projects.
A motion was made by Supervisor Dunkel and seconded by Supervisor Enabnit to adjourn. Motion carried 3-0.

We here at Sogen Con are working hard to bring you the best possible convention experience. To do this, we need a team dedicated to help with this goal. Staffing has many rewards, and at the end of the weekend, the greatest reward is knowing that you have helped hundreds of attendees have an amazing convention experience over the weekend.
We need your help to achieve some pretty lofty goals for 2012. Any who are interested in staffing, please look at the following list of openings. Some will be for department heads, some for department staff, and some for just general floating staff to plug up some holes! There are some restrictions, however, so this decision should not be taken lightly.
Staffing the convention is not a "free ride." All of our staff pays to get into the convention, just like an attendee. The staff does, however, get a discounted rate. I know that this may seem unfair, but by purchasing my badge, I know I am helping support a convention that I hold close to my heart, and would hope you would feel the same. Staff also does pay for their own lodging at the convention, but we can help you find potential room mates for the weekend that will help lower the cost. Staffer will put in many long hours, but that is not saying you will see none of the convention. Every staffer gets time off to enjoy themselves as well. Staffers can participate in many of the events of the convention. One item of question however is the Masquerade. Yes, a staffer can participate, but due to conflict of interest, a staffer is unable to compete for prizes in said competition. It is much easier to avoid any potential conflict by limiting staffers to just a walk on role. Staffing is a labor of love, there is no question of that!
Now, that I have gone through all the hard parts, lets get to the list…
We need to fill the following positions…Live Programming (Department Head)
Live Programming (Staff)
Cosplay & Masquerade (Department Head)
Cosplay and Masquerade (Staff)
Operations (Department Head)
Operations (Staff)
Artist Alley (Staff)
Dealer Hall (Staff)
Registration & Raffle (Staff)
Security Team (Staff) - (Experience preferred, but can be trained)
Volunteers (Staff) - (Not the same as being a Volunteer, but helping direct Volunteers)
Table Top Gaming (Department Head)
Table Top Gaming (Staff)
Video Gaming (Staff)
General Staff (Includes back up badgers, Gophers, Utility Staffer).
If you feel you would like to fill one of these wonderful positions, please submit the following info to email@example.com …
Email Address:
Contact Phone Number:
Position Desired:
Experience (if applicable):
Short explanation of how you can help Sogen become the best Midwest convention experience!
Again, please email that info to email@example.com.
This will be a long process, so please have patience. Do not expect an answer for some time, as we are still quite a ways off from full staff planning meetings!
Thank You for your time!

Armin Meiwes sliced up and ate a Berlin computer engineer begging to be devoured, was convicted of murder and sentenced to life in prison. The case came to light in December 2002, and the grisly details made world headlines. Meiwes filmed himself killing, disembowelling and cutting up the corpse of computer engineer Bernd Brandes, 42, whom he had met after posting messages in Internet chatrooms seeking "men for slaughter."
"The flesh tastes like pork, a little bit more bitter, stronger. It tastes quite good. I sauteed the steak of Bernd, with salt, pepper, garlic and nutmeg. I had it with Princess croquettes, Brussels sprouts and a green pepper sauce," said Meiwes. He said the meat was a little tough. He froze meal-sized portions of Brandes, some in the form of minced meat, and ate more than 20 kilograms of it in the months following the March 2001 killing.
During his two trials in 2004 and 2006, Meiwes said he had always dreamt of having a younger brother - "someone to be part of me" - and had become fascinated with cannibalism as a way to fulfil that obsession. His desires were fuelled by the Internet, where he had contact with around 400 men interested in cannibalism.
He found a perfect match in Brandes, who was obsessed with being eaten. "The first bite was of course a peculiar, indefinable feeling at first because I had yearned for that for 30 years, that this inner connection would be made perfect through this flesh," Meiwes said in an interview.
He said that when he was a child, he had enjoyed his mother reading him the fairy tale "Hansel and Gretel," about a witch who traps two children and prepares to eat the boy. "The bit where Hansel is to be eaten was interesting. You wouldn't believe how many Hansels are whizzing around the Internet." Police estimate that around 10,000 people in Germany alone share Meiwes' fascination with cannibalism - either eating human flesh or being eaten.
Meiwes, serving his sentence in a prison in Kassel, central Germany and where he was born and lived with his mom in early years, could be eligible for parole after serving a mandatory 15 years in jail. A psychiatric examination conducted ahead of his trials concluded that he is not insane but has a "severely disturbed soul."
"I want to undergo therapy, I know I need that and I hope it will be done at some point," said Meiwes.

Japan's Cat Island Safe after Quake and Tsunami
Tashirojima, also known as "Cat Island" was believed to have been devastated by the recent 9.0 earthquake and following tsunami, but a recent report shows both the human and feline population are safe.
I'm sure you're as happy as I am to finally hear some good news after the disaster that recently struck Japan, but you're probably wondering why I'm posting such news on a blog that's supposed to be about oddities. You see, Tashirojima isn't just some island off the coast of Japan, it's somewhat of a cat haven where the human inhabitants believe their purring companions bring them luck and protection from harm. After the recent events, and the population's miraculous survival, many are inclined to agree.
Cats were apparently brought to Tashirojima Island a long time ago, to eradicate the rodent population that prevented the successful breeding of silk worms. The felines did their job, but they also began gathering at fisherman inns and begging for scraps. Over time the people of the island became so fond of cats that they started studying their behavior and interpreting it as weather predictions and fish patterns. They even built a small cat shrine in the middle of the island, which has become a popular tourist attraction for cat lovers.

Derek Stepan shines as Rangers crush Senators
Ottawa, ON, Canada (4E Sports) – Derek Stepan scored and issued two assists to lead the New York Rangers to a 4-1 victory over the Ottawa Senators Saturday at Canadian Tire Centre.
Brad Richards, Rick Nash and Mats Zuccarello also scored while Cam Talbot made 29 saves for the Rangers (26-21-3), who won five of their last six games and are 10-3-1 in their past 14 outings.
Marc Methot scored and Craig Anderson stopped 27 shots for Ottawa (21-19-9), which lost in regulation for the first time since Dec. 27. The Senators were 6-0-2 in their previous eight games since a 5-0 road loss to the Boston Bruins.
Methot drove a slap shot past Talbot from the left side to give Ottawa a 1-0 lead at 3:37 of the first period, the defenseman's fourth goal of the season.
Richards tied the count at at 9:50 with his 13th goal on a 5-on-3 advantage before Nash scored his 12th goal at 12:45 of the second period to put the Rangers up 2-1.
Stepan made it 3-1 when he took advantage of a turnover by Ottawa defenseman Erik Karlsson. He scored his first goal in 14 games when he snapped a shot past Anderson after he pounced on a blind backhand pass from behind the net by Karlsson.
Zuccarello scored his 13th goal to increase the lead to three, unassisted with 3:10 to go in the third.
New York, which made its sole road appearance in the midst of playing seven of eight games at Madison Square Garden, begins a three-game homestand Sunday against the Washington Capitals. Ottawa begins a four-game road trip Tuesday in Washington.

Purchase Reason
My husband moved into our home many years ago and somehow ended up putting in a red-orange counter! The cabinets are yellow and of a kind that can't be painted. Since we couldn't afford to completely renovate our kitchen, we repainted it yellow with orange trimming. It looked okay, but kind of "blah," strangely enough. I therefore needed something to enliven it, which this piece does. It was way too big, but we had it cut down and now have two beautiful pictures. They really enliven the kitchen, and it looks much better than it probably sounds. Colors are brilliant.
Purchase Reason
I put it in my small half bath. Perfect to bring a little color to beiges and neutral tones.
Purchase Reason
Very happy with this product. Delivery was on time and packaged very well. It is exactly as I expected - the frame, mat, etc. I have it on a yellow kitchen wall, and it looks great. My only disappointment is that I wish I had gone for the non-glare glass. I ended up getting a piece from a local frame shop and replacing it myself, because when my kitchen light is on it was like looking in a mirror. I guess other art in my house has non-glare, and I didn't know it. I'm sure I'll order more things from Art.com in the future, and I'll know to get the non-glare glass. It's worth the extra $.

Library News for 2009
To obtain access to many of the Library's resources from off-campus requires you to login with your NECO email username and password. We provide a generic username and password for access to off-campus resources to adjunct faculty who do not have NECO email addresses.
Since we have to update this password annually, an email was sent this week to affiliated adjunct faculty with the new information. If you fall into this category, but did not receive said email, or you have questions or problems with access, please contact Dan McCloskey at firstname.lastname@example.com or 617-587-5617.
Our Library Assistant, Jennifer Malaguti will be leaving us for a position at Pine Manor College in Chestnut Hill. Her last day at NECO is Thurday, July 30.
We want to thank her for her 4 1/2 years of service and wish her well in her new endeavors.
Good luck Jen!
Due to the fact that some of the Library's database subscriptions are provided by the Boston Regional Library System (BRLS), there are a few recent changes of note.
The BRLS has discontinued subscriptions to all EBSCOhost databases, most notably Health Source - Consumer Edition and Science Reference Center. These have been replaced by some additions to the Gale group of databases, including Health and Wellness Resource Center and Science Resource Center.
For the full list of databases that the Library subscribes to, please refer to our Bibliographic Databases page.
- The repairs to the skylights above the Reference Room will take place Monday and Tuesday, July 20 and 21. The Library will remain open, but there will be some noise.
We apologize for any inconvenience.
Our trial for the new service that facilitates the process of obtaining the full-text of articles has been extended to July 17.
For further information, and to link to the tutorial we've created, please see the news item from June 5.
Please send your feedback on this product to Kristin Motte. If you have any questions, please direct them to Dan McCloskey, or another library staff member if he's not available.

How To Make a Wood Pallet Dining Room Table
Remember this pallet dining room table? We thought it was super cool, and one of you begged for instructions to make it yourself. Well, lucky for us, this month's issue of ReadyMade gives us just that: inspired by a trip to Paris and a dinner around a pallet table made by her friend Julien, Jen Turner decided to make her own version back in New York with the discarded pallets she found on the street.
The instructions start by encouraging you to remove any splintering wood and to sand the boards thoroughly. Because pallets are unique by nature, Turner suggests you find your pallets first, compare them with the dimensions in the instructions, and then shop for the rest of the materials. Read more at ReadyMade.

"Excellent- makes math look like math"
Version: MathType 6.0b
alignment, flexibility (e.g., large subscripts), custom toolbars, integration with Mathematica, and with MS Word, easy export in variety of formats
Extras (auto eqn numbering) only with Word 2004. Hope Word 2011 will restore Visual Basic and fix this.
Superb equation editor, even the MathType Lite version is great. Would be nice to have an equation database, to store equations by topic area; for now I just store equations in topic-based Word files. I had no trouble installing but I was upgrading from older versions.

"Installer is faulted"
Version: MathType 6.0b
Previous versions worked great
Installer did not work as promised
Altough installer said MathType 6.0b was correctly installed it did not work.
MathType support said it was an OLE problem and took me through steps to correct it but these didn't work either. I was than told of two choices. 1) I needed to remove MathType, reinstall MSWord and repeat. I asked what I could do to restore my computer to the previous verions (Time maciine and/or disk image). I was told that this was not possible. They couldn't telll me which files needed to be restored.
In fact it took me about 5minutes to do a global search for MathType on the main disk and the mirror. Compared the two, replaced the new ones from the files on the mirror and this solved the problem.
MathType support told me other users had the same problem that they had no idea what caused it.

"could not see any improvement over v5.1"
Version: MathType 6.0
This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.
except being UB now, could not find any improvements on UI or feature set since v5.1.
Copying as TeX causes error very often and unstable, especially when there are some accute or accents applied. Sometimes crashes when pasting or typing TeX expressions.
You may just call it v5.x but defintely not v6.0 with this much changes.
Please watch out your competitors, MathMagic and MathEq.
"MathType is Back!"
Version: MathType 5.0
This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.
After a long wait, version 5 is available for the Mac. I am runnng Panther 10.3.3 and everything has gone exceedingly well. First, I deleted all MathType v3.7 files, yes, all of them. The "uninstaller" missed some but OS X found the rest. Then I installed v5.0 and it is working perfectly. The connections to Microsoft Word v10.1.4 were made correctly and are also working perfectly. After installing OS X some 15 months ago, I am now back in business with MathType. I did not wait for the 30-day, full, free trial to expire. I paid immediately and it is worth every (Euro)cent.

Plus-Size Winter Bridal Wear
Wedding Dresses: Princess
Bing Shopping: Princess Gowns
Ethereal princess-style wedding dresses move from a fitted bodice to an elegant waist and flow easily into an A-line skirt. Not as exaggerated as a ballgown, the princess rules with timeless – and breathtaking – beauty.

Wedding Dresses: Sleeved Gowns
Bing Shopping: Sleeved Gowns
You can thank Duchess Kate for the revival of the sleeved wedding gown. This new trend has taken off, not just because of the royal wedding, but because lots of brides just love the extra space for exquisite detailing.
Wedding Dresses: Back Details
Bing Shopping: Back Details
Whether alluring (deep plunging V's, illusion panels) or chic (delicate lace, beaded embellishment), the backs of today's trendy wedding gowns are a definite focal point. And why not? Your guests will likely be seeing you from that angle as you take your vows.
Wedding Dresses: Corseted Bodices

Don Scribner, 1972 UW-Superior graduate, brought a touch of Hollywood to Appleton, Wisconsin earlier this year.
Scribner was filming an independent movie, "Appleton," in Appleton, Wisconsin. Filming took place in February and March of 2013. The northern Wisconsin native has performed in numerous productions as an actor in television, stage and film. He has also performed at the Duluth Playhouse and has written several children's musical productions.Scribner said it was a treat to be back in Wisconsin, "After 28 years in the business I finally returned to my home state to work and then vacationed for a while in Ashland and Superior."
Scribner said it was his education at UW-Superior that helped him get to where he is today, "UWS gave me a terrific foundation and respect for theatre and solidified my trust of ability. I have the same respect for UWS. I am proud to have graduated from there. I earned two degrees from UWS, both my undergraduate and graduate degree. Had it not been for UWS I cannot imagine I'd be here today."
He gave us a preview of his Wisconsin project, "Appleton is an ensemble movie with my character, Mitchell, as the core. He wants to give something to a young woman whose father squelched on their deal which sealed his fate. Mitchell believes the daughter deserves what he took. She believes he deserves payback for the death of her father."
He has been busy with many other projects since Appleton wrapped-up, but is looking forward to seeing the final product, "The script had all the heart and conflict of life anywhere juxtaposed with the struggle of the northern elements. The area became an important character. I loved every second I spent on the shoot."
Scribner was a teacher and principal in Superior for many years before he accepted the call to California and Hollywood. He held various jobs from teacher, to principal and director at Patzau, Ericsson and Central Jr. High School.
He was in New York for the opening of "The Guide" a film he shot in Maine in December of 2012. It opened the Manhattan Film Festival. Scribner said, "I played Joe Dawkins, the guide...challenging and rewarding."
He did a Comedy Central show "Nathan For You" a week prior to "The Guide" and shot a film "After Midnight" soon after that. Earlier this year, he also did another film, "Newark Ave".
From the shores of Lake Superior, to the spotlight in Hollywood, Don Scribner did it his way, the Superior way.

Found November 27, 2012 on 5TH QUARTER MAGAZINE:
PLAYERS: Steve Nash
TEAMS: Los Angeles Lakers
TEAMS: Los Angeles Lakers
In a report by ESPN LA, Lakers point guard Steve Nash hopes to return back to the court soon. He was able to participate during the Lakers practice at their facility in El Segundo, California. Nash was to go through an MRI on Monday, but the Lakers decided to just have the Canadian point guard go through some drills with the Lakers strength coach. As for a return date, the Lakers are staying mum. When asked when he thinks Nash would be able to return, head coach Mike D'Antoni said, I really don't. It's getting better every day. I know we keep saying that, but it is. Just when he's able to withstand some up-and-down, he'll play. D'Antoni knows that once Steve Nash returns to the lineup, the Lakers will be a different team. So for now, they can only wait. D'Antoni knows not to rush Nash. The team needs him to be the floor general and free up players for open shots, but rushing him could be detrimental to his future as a player.

These are my rankings for QBs for the remainder of the season. The number in parenthesis is last week's ranking.
1. (1) Aaron Rodgers, GB – Even with a terrible 2nd half this week, still was only 4 points less than Brees.
2. (2) Drew Brees, NO – Can't stop, won't stop.
3. (3) Tom Brady, NE – Patriots running so much will lower his numbers a bit but he's still putting up the numbers.
4. (4) Matt Ryan, ATL – Scored his lowest total of the season this week, 17 points.
5. (7) Peyton Manning, DEN – 4 of 5 weeks over 20 points has me convinced.
6 (5) Cam Newton, CAR – Stuffed this week but he can still add extra points with his legs.
7. (6) Robert Griffin III, WAS – First rough day of the year, not too worried.
8. (9) Eli Manning, NYG – Another great day through the air.
9. (8) Matthew Stafford, DET – BYE
10. (12) Phillip Rivers, SD – Doesn't seem to be missing VJax too much and Ryan Mathews being healthy only helps.
11. (16) Andrew Luck, IND – Didn't take long for Luck to figure it out.
12. (10) Andy Dalton, CIN - Maybe he wasn't ready for a top 10 spot yet but I'm still a believer.
13. (11) Joe Flacco, BAL – Terrible day for the entire offense
14. (13) Ben Roethlisberger, PIT – Lack of TDs was rough but first day under 10 points
15. (14) Jay Cutler, CHI – A good showing this week and he has the team around him but I need to see one more good showing before I believe.
16. (17) Michael Vick – Vick loses 2 fumbles but moves up because he's scored at least 12 points in all but 1 week even with his 11 turnovers.
17. (15) Tony Romo – BYE
18. (18) Matt Schaub, HOU – Even with the unstoppable offense, Schaub is not putting up huge fantasy numbers.
19. (UR) Alex Smith, SF – Becoming a very sound source of points by not turning the ball over.
20. (UR) Christian Ponder, MIN – His points are 100% based on Percy Harvin's continued production but there are worse things to bet on.

Just Drive Lyrics
Drove on to the motorway,
Think I turned the wrong way,
Headin' down south,
Cheesy grin on my mouth,
I don't really give a damn,
If I don't know where I am,
There ain't nothin' I can find,
Is gonna satisfy my mind.
I'm a fuckin' bomb,
And nobody knows where I'm from,
I ain't gonna esplode,
I kinda like it on overload.
For just one day don't wanna hear nobody's jive,
Yeah! I wanna feel alive,
So I just drive.
Just drive! J-j-j-j-just drive!
Fill the tank to the top,
I ain't ever gonna stop,
Ain't got no carburator,
'Cause my diesel-pump is better,
Johnny Cash on the eight-track,
Pedal to the floor, mac,
Headin' for the sunset,
We ain't even started yet.
Ever get the feeling,
That the only way of dealing with it's on your own,
With the tape deck on,
You're glad to be alive,
So you just drive.
Just drive just drive just drive just drive just drive etc…
…For yust one day I wanna feel myself alive…
Lyrics taken from http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/t/the_hormonauts/just_drive.html

February 24, 2012
On February 23, Kenyatta spoke passionately about that history, as a part of NCC's celebration of Black History Month, in honor of Dr. Martin Luther King.
Like most Americans, Kenyatta knew little about the African roots of African Americans throughout elementary school, high school, college, and graduate school. History classes skirted the African continent. Consequently, his mental image of Africa consisted of war, devastation, famine, and exotic animals. This situation began to change, however, when Kenyatta roomed with first a Nigerian and then a Kenyan student in college. Their pictures of large cities, hotels and urban life stunned him.
He realized then that there existed two African histories: invented and hidden. "The role of African people has been ignored, misrepresented, overlooked and suppressed," he said. Beginning in the eighteenth century, the racist thinking of philosophers such as David Hume and George Hegel dominated literature. Well into the 20th century-the mid-1960s and beyond-prominent academics claimed that Africans had no history.
In actuality, Africans had a fascinating history and flourishing civilizations, which Kenyatta described. Focusing on the medieval western Sudanese Empire, encompassing Ghana, Mali and Songhai, Kenyatta introduced the audience to Sundiata, who made Mali the breadbasket of the region and Sakura, another king of Mali, whose people set sail in an 800-ship fleet to explore the lands beyond the Atlantic. African art, pottery and clothing evidence the presence of Africans in Central America before the Spaniards arrived. Under Kankan Musa, 60,000 pilgrims made a pilgrimage to Mecca in 1324. In Songhai, an Arab traveler reported on his brother's cataract surgery. Universities blossomed in the centuries before the slave trade.
Throughout the nation's and Pennsylvania's history, African Americans played important roles. Kenyatta spoke about the American Revolution, in which black Americans fought at Brandywine and Valley Forge and accompanied General George Washington as he crossed the Delaware. Some African Americans also fought on the British side, aiming to achieve their freedom. When slavery was abolished in Pennsylvania in 1780, freed slaves joined an established community of free African Americans to create fraternal organizations and religious and social welfare institutions. In 1821, Richard Allen founded the African Methodist Episcopal Church in Philadelphia.
Kenyatta highlighted African American history in Pennsylvania during the Civil War. The first blood to be shed was that of Nicholas Biddle, a 65-year-old African American volunteer from Pottsville. "He was a forgotten hero of the Civil War," Kenyatta said. Biddle was one of half a million African Americans who fought in the war. "African Americans participated in 449 Civil War battles," Kenyatta said. "These facts have not been included in textbooks for five generations."
Kenyatta concluded his talk by showing slides of famous Pennsylvanians of African descent: Marian Anderson, Billy Eckstine, Chubby Checker, Ethel Waters, August Wilson, Ed Bradley, Philly Joe Jones, Wilt Chamberlain, and Dr. Daniel Hale Williams, who performed the world's first open heart surgery.
The Black History Month program also included the announcement of the winners of the Martin Luther King, Jr. Prose and Poetry Contest: Trohkan Druweay, from the Bethlehem Campus, and Eric Caulfield from the Monroe Campus. The students read their winning pieces.
The event tied into Northampton's year-long exploration of "The Meaning of Freedom: The Civil War 1865-Today," funded by a challenge grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities.

You're leaving Wedding Paper Divas to see the Deal of the Day at our parent site, Tiny Prints.
You won't be able to dismiss this by usual means (escape or click button), but you can close it programatically based on user choices or actions.
"These cards were easy to customize and the Wedding Paper Divas responded so quickly with confirmations and proofs. Couldn't ask for a better service. I paid for the 2 day delivery and they came in 1 day. Wow!"
"These were absolutely gorgeous. Our wedding colors are yellow & gray and this was the perfect mustard yellow. We even added a picture from our engagement session on the back. I love Wedding Paper Divas and always have the most efficient & friendly service from them. We needed to pay for the rush shipping, but it was well worth it. We got it the next business day after I approved my proof!"
"We ordered these invites in blue and they look EXACTLY like the image online, so that was great. The online ordering process at one point implied you could get a small picture on the back, and we liked that idea, but as it turned out these invites aren't recommended for pictures because of the texture of the card. We hadn't picked it for the picture option so it was fine, but just a heads up. Speaking of the textured card, it feels really substantial and looks great. We got the envelopes printed with return address and those look great too. Nice paper, crisp font."
"The quality of the paper was nice and sturdy. Quality of the printing was great as well. The only thing was when my envelopes were delivered there were some ink smudge marks on them, but it wasn't too much of an issue. The personalizing was easy and seamless! I would recommend Wedding Paper Divas and their products to anyone!!!"
"I thought the design of the card was different and most attractive. It was very easy to personalize the invitation using different fonts, sizes, and wording. The paper is average weight; I would have preferred a heavier weight but it is satisfactory. Received compliments from the bride on the selection and design of the invitation! Very pleased with the final product and would highly recommend it."

Taking stem cell therapies to heart
New applications may help the body repair and regenerate itself after a heart attack or angina incident.
The controversy over stem cell research has been mostly contained to the use of embryonic stem cells, while application of adult stem cells has proceeded without much opposition. While embryonic stem cells have the potential for solving problems related to low regenerative capacity tissue, such as liver cells, adult stem cells-- especially those harvested from common sources like bone marrow-- are being found to be of use in some potentially disruptive treatments.
More than 200,000 people annually survive STEMIs -– ST segment myocardial infarctions -– which are heart attacks of a severe nature caused by blood clots that cut off the flow of blood to a portion of the heart causing tissue death. These survivors do so at great impairment as the STEMI creates post-incident distortions of the heart muscle, called remodeling, which results in lower left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) -– the percentage of blood pumped by the left ventricle.
This is a major source of medical costs each year -- anywhere from $30,000 to $80,000 per patient annually. That number rises significantly if LVEF drops below 40%. Current long-term treatment includes blood thinners, like Pfizer's (PFE) Inspra (Eplerenone), which do nothing to assist in the healing of the heart itself, but allow it to work less strenuously by lowering blood pressure.
With stem cells the potential exists to deliver them to the affected area of the heart shortly after the STEMI and arrest the remodeling and weakening of the left ventricle. NeoStem (NBS) has a bone marrow cell (BMC) treatment, AMR-001, that has entered Phase II clinical testing in which it looks to have solved the problem, pairing the stem cells with the right market to bring the treatment to the damaged portion of the heart.
CD34+ stem cells from bone marrow constitute a common treatment for cancer patients post chemotherapy to promote blood vessel growth to areas of poor blood flow, ischemia. AMR-001 is a concentration of a patient's own CD34+ stem cells, harvested after the STEMI, which are co-expressed with CXCR4+ cells. This pair is more likely to home in on the chemical signal being produced at the ischemic tissue and therefore more effective at beginning the healing cycle.
The result is a far stronger post-STEMI heart muscle, displaying an increased LVEF. The Phase I trial determined the threshold dosage -– resulting in a 6 month improvement in LVEF of 9.4% on average -– while Phase II will focus on change in perfusion -– heart blood volume during exercise –- post-treatment and refine the understanding of the healing of the tissue.
While NeoStem is focused on treating the post-STEMI patient, Baxter (BAX) is looking at the CD34+ stem cells to induce accelerated blood vessel growth for those suffering from chest pains and refractory angina. Its treatment has resulted in patients seeing strong improvement in their ability to exert themselves while reducing the risk of an angina incident. It's treatment entered Phase III clinical trials in 2012.
NeoStem is even more interesting in that it owns a revenue-generating subsidiary, Progenitor Cell Therapy, which both improves the firm's cash flow as well as drives down trial costs by having in-house cell therapy production. Moreover, last year Baxter chose PCT as the provider for its cell therapy; so the farther Baxter's CD34+ therapy moves along the better PCT's prospects are. Because of this, NeoStem's ownership of PCT and its extensive patent portfolio easily justify its current valuation. The firm has $12 million in the bank thanks to a sale of its interest in Suzhou Eyre Pharmaceutical Co. and no debt.
The promise of stem cell therapy derives from pushing medicine away from coping with existing damage through medications that only induce other problems and towards enhancing the body's own ability to repair and regenerate itself. Heart disease, congestive heart failure, and post heart attack treatments are an enormous recurring cost for the patient and the medical insurance industry as a whole. Treatments like these have such a strong value proposition because they strike at the root of the problem, thereby lessening the need for long-term maintenance costs and vastly improving quality of life. And that is something that should brook no controversy at all.

All of my happy childhood memories are associated with my grandmother Lena. She provided a contrast to all of my bad experiences. She was a short and round woman with a big belly that bounced up and down when she laughed. I found that terribly endearing.

Today is the birthday of Korean pop star Lee Tae-Min (Taemin). Generally, not many people I know would care about that, but as of a handful of months ago, my little sister introduced me to K-Pop. I found that I really enjoyed the music of a band called SHINee, of which Taemin is a part of.
It's almost time to go back to school. And for some little students, school will start for the first time.
In the coming weeks, many first-timers will take their first serious try at reading. Some will jump in with both feet. Others won't be quite so enthusiastic to take the plunge.
WorldCat is the tool we use to request items that MCPL does not own. This is just one more way that we do our best to give you access to the items you want.
Basically, many libraries in the United States and around the world will loan out their items to other libraries. So, if we don't have what you want, you can request it using WorldCat.
School starts August 16th for students in our area. While spending money on school supplies, cool styles, and shoes, why not get something for free?
No matter what your age, grab some of that excitement again by taking a free online course for your personal pleasure or professional growth.
So, usually when I get on the Library's website, I head straight for the catalog. Occasionally, though, I do visit the Online Resources page. The Online Resources page gives me access to downloadable eBooks and Research Databases, but I don't really venture any further than that. That is until I discovered Web Resources.
Reading levels vary from student to student, as well as school district to school district. So, how can you find the correct books to engage a young reader but make sure it is not too difficult for them? This is a common issue that I come across both as a parent and while working for the Library. Parents are excited to hear their child is reading above grade level, but somewhat clueless about finding the correct books.
Have you ever left the doctor's office and then remembered a question you needed answered? Or, maybe you are curious about a health related issue you heard about in the news - don't Google it! MCPL health databases will give you factual information you can rely on.
Who do you come from? Not where, but who?
I've always believed that if you don't know the past, you are doomed to repeat it. And, you should especially know your own roots. As such, I have been researching my ancestry for years, and I am still amazed at the things I find.

The now Indian automaker, Jaguar, is currently working on a compact drop top sports car that can compete with the luxury roadsters of Germany, cars like the Audi TT, BMW Z4 and Mercedes Benz SLK. The modern day C-type will make its official debut in 2012, around the same time as the upcoming reincarnation of the E-Type and future mid-engine supercar .
The new C will be a lightweight two-seater, based around an aluminum monocoque for the best mix of chassis rigidity and weight reduction. Under the hood, Jaguar will use the same power plants as in the XF sedan. An entry-level version will be powered by a 3.0 Liter V6 making 235 HP and the top of the line model will take advantage of the new 5.0 Liter V8 making 380 HP. When it hits the test track, the eight cylinder version should be able to hit the 60 MPH mark in under 5 seconds.
So if Jaguar is bringing back the C-type, and plan to bring back the E-type, the only thing left for them to do would be a revival of the D-type . Perhaps it is the car's racing pedigree or maybe it is the bulbous fenders or the vertical fin behind the driver's head, but the D was the most attractive of all the classic Jaguar sports cars.

Sweater Weather
Another evening, another opening: Last night saw the official debut of Pringle of Scotland's new Mount Street store. And while London has played host to a bevy of ribbon cuttings this season, Pringle's felt like a more civil and collected affair than most—cushioned, perhaps, by the label's swaths of cashmeres (now available as well as part of a new Grace Kelly-inspired capsule collection). On hand to celebrate were Central Saint Martins' Louise Wilson and actress Hannah Murray (of Skins and Game of Thrones fame), but the biggest draw of the party was longtime Pringle champion (and sometime Pringle face) Tilda Swinton, in a black, semi-sheer column dress and signature platinum coif. What drew her? "For Scottish people, Pringle is sort of…a mother's milk," the Scots actress opined. "But," she quickly added, "likewise for golfers! And also for football hooligans!"

Lisman turns attention to ethics reformsBy Peter Hirschfeld
Vermont Press Bureau | October 21,2013MONTPELIER The deep-pocketed founder of whats been billed as a nonprofit public advocacy organization will look to make his mark on the 2014 legislative session by pushing for a series of ethics reforms.
Bruce Lisman the former Wall Street executive who retired to his home state of Vermont shortly after his firm, Bear Stearns, collapsed in the dramatic stock market crash of 2008 wants elected officials to have to disclose information about their personal finances, as well as any interests in which they have a financial stake.
Lisman is also calling for an independent, quasi-judicial ethics commission to regulate and monitor officials held in the public trust.
People Ive talked to just presumed that there were ethics guidelines, and are very surprised that there arent, Lisman said last week. And this is a perfect building block for a bigger mission of transparency. Its a significant first step along that pathway.
Since founding Campaign for Vermont in 2011, Lisman has poured nearly $1 million of his own money into a group that, according to its website, advocates for common sense, non-partisan solutions that promote economic opportunity and improves the quality of life for current and future generations of Vermonters.
The group, which Lisman says has about 1,000 members, has issued lengthy position papers on education, budgeting and transparency. Specifically, the group has called for the streamlining of education governance and the limiting of annual increases in the state budget to between 2 and 3 percent.
But 2014, according to Lisman, will mark the groups foray into legislative lobbying. And one of Lismans main focuses, he said, will be the establishment of ethics guidelines.
It is true that most Vermonters dont break laws, but we still have a wide array of regulatory frameworks that offer protection from the few that do. In addition, corruption isnt always a matter of stealing money or selling access or influence but it certainly can be, Lisman wrote in an op-ed sent to news outlets across the state last week. Ethics guidelines would tell us how conflicts of interest should be treated in certain circumstances and mandatory disclosures would help us highlight potential pitfalls.
While Lisman has denied having any political ambitions, observers in Montpelier have long viewed Campaign for Vermont as a sort of gubernatorial exploratory committee. In an August column titled Governor Lisman? Seven Days reporter Paul Heintz chronicles the self-promotion and issue advocacy in which Lisman has engaged since returning to Vermont.
Lismans latest ethics initiative comes on the heels of a series of stories earlier this summer about controversial land deals involving Gov. Peter Shumlin. Asked whether those deals inspired his push for heightened disclosure rules, Lisman said they did not.
He said they might have, however, highlighted the need for the brand of ethics reform hes pushing.
Some states have ethics panels where you go to for advice, Lisman said. Might they have opined as to whether (the land deal) was an OK thing to do, or not an OK thing to do? Youd have to live in a parallel world to know that. So maybe it highlights the issue. But it isnt the reason for it.
For an advocate who has spent so heavily on outreach and advertising he recently launched a $60,000 television campaign, one of several over the past two years Lisman has a surprisingly low profile in Montpelier, where Campaign for Vermont has yet to show any capacity to move the legislative dial.
While Lisman may be angling to change that with a more robust lobbying presence in 2014, he doesnt seem to think lawmakers will be terribly receptive to the proposal.
CFV will be releasing a detailed ethics proposal, Lisman wrote in his op-ed. Be prepared for political insiders to say they support it but take no meaningful action, or attempt to explain away ethics laws and disclosures as unnecessary.
House Speaker Shap Smith, however, said hes open to the idea, specifically when it comes to mandating disclosure of conflicts of interest.
This is something that I have talked with a number of people about over the last year, and I do think that we could do more with regard to conflict of interest issues, Smith said last week.
Smith said the issue may not even require legislation, as the House and Senate each have their owns rules regarding conflicts of interest. House Rule 75, for example, currently requires lawmakers to assess for themselves whether they have a conflict, and whether that conflict merits recusal.
My view is we ought to take a look at what other states are doing and see how Vermont does compared to other states, and then figure out something that addresses the concerns that people have, Smith said.
As for the disclosure of personal finances, Smith said he has reservations about requiring it for members of the House and Senate. In a state that relies on part-time citizen legislators, Smith said he thinks the requirement would discourage people from running.
The Shumlin administration says transparency has been a top priority for the Democratic governor since he took office in 2011, and that its eager to review any proposals that might improve public confidence in the integrity of elected officials.
Shumlins general counsel, Sarah London, said the Executive Code of Ethics governing gubernatorial appointees already requires up-front disclosure of financial conflicts of interest.
As for mandatory financial disclosures, London said Shumlin has felt that the voluntary system we have has worked for our small state.
But hes always willing to discus other options when theyre put forward, London said last week. We certainly look forward to seeing the proposal, and absolutely welcome continued discussion as to how to make state government as transparent and accountable as possible.
