BOSTON – Ottawa Senators forward Daniel Alfredsson said he's always wanted to face the Montreal Canadiens in the playoffs.
Or was he just trying to avoid the top-seeded Pittsburgh Penguins?
We talked about mostly finishing better than last year, Alfredsson said after the Senators beat Boston 4-2 in the NHL's rescheduled regular-season finale on Sunday night to earn the No. 7 seed in the Eastern Conference.
We were eighth last year, so to win here the last game and finish seventh it feels really good. We improved on last year, and that's what we wanted.
Jean-Gabriel Pageau scored the tiebreaking goal with 3:34 to play, and Kyle Turris added an empty-netter to help Ottawa win the game that was originally scheduled for April 15, the day of the Boston Marathon bombings.
It was the only NHL game on Sunday, with the rest of the league wrapping up the regular season by Saturday.
The victory pushed the Senators past the New York Islanders and into seventh in the East, helping them avoid the Penguins in the first round.
Ottawa opens the series in Montreal on Thursday.
I think it will be a great series, Alfredsson said. The Bell Centre is one of the most exciting buildings to play in. It's a great hockey town as well. ... I think it's going to be an unbelievable atmosphere in both arenas, and I'm looking forward to a hard-fought series.
The Islanders will face Pittsburgh in the first round. The Bruins could have won the Northeast Division and earned a No. 2 seed with a win, but they finished fourth in the East and will play Toronto in the first round starting Wednesday in Boston.
Boston has not faced the Maple Leafs in the postseason since the first round of the 1974 playoffs. It is the only matchup of Original Six teams in the first round.
You want to get the No. 2 spot, but at the end it doesn't matter, said defenseman Dennis Seidenberg, who scored just 14 seconds into the third period to tie it 2-all.
We still have home ice advantage in the first round, and the first round is always the toughest one to get out of. Everything else doesn't matter now.

We're gettin' into that time of year where nothing beats snuggling up on the couch with a nice toasty drink ... But you may need to hold the cocoa in your hot cocoa. Or worse yet -- your kids' favorite drink, which is undoubtedly, at any time of the year, chocolate milk! That's because Nestle is recalling more than 200,000 canisters of its chocolate drink mix Nesquik due to possible contamination of salmonella. Ack!
Thankfully, no illnesses have been reported in conjunction with the contamination. But I'm sure plenty of consumers are still going to wonder ... how the heck did this happen?
Nestle reports that the problem occurred in batches of the mix produced in October. The company says their ingredient supplier, Omya Inc., has issued a recall of certain lots of its ingredient, calcium carbonate. (Not sure how salmonella makes its way into that! Weird!) Linda Pleiman, an Omya spokesperson, said that it had notified its other customers of the problem but was not aware of any other recalls at this time. Nonetheless, given the way the most recent wide-spread peanut butter recall went down, sounds like something we should keep our eyes and ears open for.
In the meantime, here's the scoop on the affected products: The bottom of affected canisters says it's best to use by October 2014. And the size of canisters affected are 40.7 ounces, 21.8 ounces, and 10.9 ounces. Also, FYI: The two small ones have a promo for the current Disney flick, Wreck-It Ralph, on the side of the container and the words "Be a Hero" across the bottom.
Nestle said consumers who have the product can return to the place of purchase for a full refund or or contact Nestle Consumer Services at (800) 628-7679.
Are you surprised by this recall?

good information, but that has got to be the most disgusting picture of hot chocolate ever.
um, why is there calcium carbonate in chocolate milk anyhow?!? This is why we do our cocoa from scratch on the stove. At least I know what goes in it.
have one that says August 2014. The big canister. I am going to call just in case. Thanks for the info.
Another reason to like Ovaltine!
I use carnation instant bfast if my kid wants chocolate milk. Either that or organic chocolate hazelnut milk.
we just add chocolate syrup to soy milk...or make the cold stone creamery hot cocoa or use my pepermint drinking chocolate.
Just bought some for me last night... oh poo... guess ill making that drive back to the grocery... another reason y i LOVE Ovaltine, but hubby thinks it tatstes "healthy" -_-
Oh, joy...i keep this stuff in stock constantly in my home. Not happy at all with them...but Nestle is one of the worst companies out there. Their products are ususlly very cheaply made.
Glad we use Ovaltine, Swiss Miss and my splurge: Godiva cocoa! Mmmmm

Beijing, China (Sports Network) - Russia reigned supreme in team rhythmic gymnastics for a third consecutive time at the Olympics, edging a squad from China on Sunday.
Each group performed a pair of routines, one using five ropes, and the other using two clubs and three hoops.
Russia had mistakes on the first day of qualifications, but the country, the current world champions, soared in the finals to take the gold medal, winning with a total of 35.55 points. That was just ahead of China's 35.225 total. Belarus won the bronze medal with 34.9 points.
"We are overwhelmed with emotion," said Russia's Elena Posevina. "It took a lot of training and it's been a long road. We are yet to fully comprehend this victory."

My two cents. Internal social media generally gets the best results when done effectively. But if you can't do it right, hire someone.
Hiring a Social Media AgencyInvestment: Minimum of $1,000/month ($12k/year) for most decent companies. Management Time/Requirements: 2 – 4 hours a month to answer questions, review progress and check-in. Pros:
- Should use best practices (in theory, although not all of them do)
- Know how to optimize
- Scale/benefits as they use tools across accounts (again, in theory)
- Consistent implementation
- They can execute big campaigns and have more specialized resources to leverage
- Expensive (even at a basic level, it is close to half of the cost of an employee)
- They don't know your partners, customers, etc to build community
- They aren't in your business, so they might not post the best content of what is really happening
- Objectives may not match as they want to maintain their contract vs. your business objectives
- Some put you into a "plug and play" model where they execute the same things for all of the clients vs. customizing for your business (this is typical of smaller social media agencies)
DIYInvestment: Minimum of 30 minutes a day, plus setup time (learning) and training. Management Time/Requirements: Depending on the size of the organization, 2 – 4 hours a month in management + implementation. Pros:
- You know your business, so there is less onboarding time
- Opportunity to create really great content that connects
- Often more cost efficient
- Higher accountability and better alignment of objectives
- Quicker response times and better customer responses (if well trained)
- Must invest in training/capabilities
- Must be a priority (or it won't be well done and can work against you)
- Need the right type of employee to effectively execute

Melvin Manhoef vs. Jae Young Kim Fight Video Road FC 9 from September 15th, 2012 in South Korea.
great fight. Kim has a chin! And what is up with a super jacked Melvin having cardio???
Manhoff All the way
Melvin looked a little slow poke(d)? Carrying to much beef maybe.
Still good striking mechanics though just not as snappy as I remember.
@ above poster, I totally agree he looked jacked!!…Still always love manhoef!!
Good fight. I used to think Melvin could compete in the UFC but now I don't think so. Love Jae Young Kim's walk out music though.
Melvin looked super slow and no surprised that he was gassed by round 2. He did stuff a few takedowns which is unusual.
jesus that chin on Kim. Thought he won also. surprised they didn't just give him the decision
The RFC match-maker(s) did a really good job with this fight – great action.

Compelling, far better than the most recent version. Clifton Webb and Barbara Stanwyck are outstanding as a wealthy couple whose marriage is disintegrating and the love story is sweet and unlike the other version makes sense since both characters are from the same class as would ... read more
December 5, 2008
Titanic from 1953 starring the great Barbara Stanwyck and Clifton Webb is a true gem. This is another telling of the ill fated ship focusing this time on an older couple whom are divorcing and having to deal with skeletons in the closet. A very well done Fox film worthy seeing.
February 18, 2008

It's hard not to compare this to the James Cameron's 1997 blockbuster of the same name. Though similiar in title and topic, they are two different films. But, if I must choose, I would pick this 1953 version. I like how the story focuses on a particular family. Their drama is fr... read more

It was made in 1953 so you can see why the special effects were not all that special. Robert Wagner was so very young and played the love interest of the snobby girl. It did drag a little, but the characters were good as well as the acting .... I enjoyed it.

This bears little resemblance to the 1997 epic, this story focuses on a particular family and their ups and downs. Very engrossing and well written, great production and cast. Barbara Stanwyck is excellent as always.

Saw this version and loved it. Was sad as the others. Not as glamerous but just as catastrophic. Love Barbara

Critic Reviews
Though Stanwyck and Clifton Webb make for an unlikely married couple, this b/w Oscar-winning 1953 melodrama about the sinking of the famous liner is worth seeing. Full Review
Not as big as James Cameron's computer-generated bonanza, but it's nonetheless impressive. Full Review
Exciting, well-acted version of the infamous voyage
Manages to tell its tale in a compact 98 minutes. That's nearly 100 minutes less than it took James Cameron, and there's something to be said for that. Full Review
...a good motion picture despite its shallow, often sentimental overtones. Full Review

AccuWeather is predicting early freezes and snow in the Midwest, but not all forecasters agree. Is long-range weather forecasting still more art than science?
If you'd like to keep sweating, visit the sizzling Southwest. For a balmy fall foliage tour, head to New England. But if you're in search of cooler climates, the Midwest might be your best bet.
Weather forecasters agree that the opposite corners of the country will see warmer-than-normal temperatures during the next three months, but AccuWeather is making a bold call for a cold fall and early winter in the Midwest. Their prediction includes early frosts and freezes in the Great Lakes region and the possibility of snow before Halloween in the Ohio Valley and the mid-Atlantic.
The AccuWeather forecast keeps in place the pattern of this summer, when a big dip in the jet stream brought persistent chilly spells to the middle of the country and the mid-South.
The National Weather Service's Climate Prediction Center, on the other hand, says a warm spell from the Great Lakes to the Northeast could linger well into autumn. The International Research Institute for Climate and Society (IRI), which issues global outlooks, has a forecast that closely matches the weather service.
Related: Slow transition to winter in the Northeast; quick in the Midwest
So why the divergence? Forecasters use various computer models that rely on factors such as ocean temperature patterns to help peg the position of the jet stream, the band of upper-atmosphere winds that steers weather systems across the country. But then each forecasting service adds its own secret sauce and unique expertise when it comes to choosing among models that frequently disagree.
Jeff Masters, co-founder of the Weather Underground, says the newer models give only "a slight improvement" over past efforts at long-term forecasting. Masters says that beyond three to five days in the future, "chaos takes over."
AccuWeather senior meteorologist Paul Pastelok disagrees, saying "the models have gotten a lot better" and are fairly reliable for predictions at least a few months into the future.
Many businesses, especially those in the agriculture industry, want to know what the weather will be like in seasons ahead. That's why farmer's almanacs have been published since the 1700s, relying on moon phases and their own mix of science and folklore to prognosticate. Now computers have taken over from groundhogs and lunar influences.
Lately, the uncertain effects of global warming have added another unknown to the mix of science, experience and art that is long-term forecasting.
AccuWeather's Pastelok admits that the weather of the most recent 45 days plays an important role in his company's forecasts. AccuWeather's prediction of a cooler fall in the Midwest is based on a bet that the jet stream will keep sagging down deep across the middle of the U.S., a "blocking pattern" that many meteorologists have linked to a warming Arctic.
But the government's Climate Prediction Center, generally a bit more cautious in its outlook, sees cooler air relaxing its grip on our mid-section this autumn.
As far as rainfall, the weather service and the IRI both call for a wide swath of wet weather over the next three months from the western Gulf Coast up to the Great Lakes, while AccuWeather puts a risk of flooding farther east on the map: in the mid-Atlantic and parts of the mid-South, where this summer brought record rainfall.
"It's hard to pinpoint exactly who is going to be hit the worst," hedges Pastelok.
And, for this fall, it seems, hedging is in season. Frost on the pumpkin or Indian Summer? It depends on where you are, and whom you believe.

I think that anyone that can afford to buy – should buy now! The prices are probably at their lowest now! Interest rates are low – Go 4 a fixed loan – fixed repayment scheme! Budget to get out of DEBT! There are some of us already out of DEBT n we can pick what we want to buy!
Real eyes realize real lies…
It sounds like you're saying there will be no significant changes to the market. With the foreclosures to-be processed by the banks I believe there is no rush to the front of the line. Shop around, take your time, and be patient then you'll get what you want and some. Bonus!

An assessment of the role of the centrifugal acceleration mechanism in high altitude polar cap oxygen ion outflow
The role of the centrifugal acceleration mechanism for ion outflow at high altitude above the polar cap has been investigated. Magnetometer data from the four Cluster spacecraft has been used to obtain an estimate of magnetic field gradients. This is combined with ion moment data of the convection drift and the field-aligned particle velocity. Thus all spatial terms in the expression for the centrifugal acceleration are directly obtained from observations. The temporal variation of the unit vector of the magnetic field is estimated by predicting consecutive measurement-points through the use of observed estimates of the magnetic field gradients, and subtracting this from the consecutively observed value. The calculation has been performed for observations of outflowing O
beams in January to May for the years 2001-2003, and covers an altitude range of about 5 to 12
. The accumulated centrifugal acceleration during each orbit is compared with the observed parallel velocities to get an estimate of the relative role of the centrifugal acceleration. Finally the observed spatial terms (parallel and perpendicular) of the centrifugal acceleration are compared with the results obtained when the magnetic field data was taken from the Tsyganenko T89 model instead. It is found that the centrifugal acceleration mechanism is significant, and may explain a large fraction of the parallel velocities observed at high altitude above the polar cap. The magnetic field model results underestimate the centrifugal acceleration at the highest altitudes investigated and show some systematic differences as compared to the observations in the lower altitude ranges investigated. - Remainder of abstract truncated -

EISCAT and Cluster observations in the vicinity of the dynamical polar cap boundary
The dynamics of the polar cap boundary and auroral oval in the nightside ionosphere are studied during late expansion and recovery of a substorm from the region between Tromsø (66.6° cgmLat) and Longyearbyen (75.2° cgmLat) on 27 February 2004 by using the coordinated EISCAT incoherent scatter radar, MIRACLE magnetometer and Cluster satellite measurements. During the late substorm expansion/early recovery phase, the polar cap boundary (PCB) made zig-zag-type motion with amplitude of 2.5° cgmLat and period of about 30 min near magnetic midnight. We suggest that the poleward motions of the PCB were produced by bursts of enhanced reconnection at the near-Earth neutral line (NENL). The subsequent equatorward motions of the PCB would then represent the recovery of the merging line towards the equilibrium state (Cowley and Lockwood, 1992). The observed bursts of enhanced westward electrojet just equatorward of the polar cap boundary during poleward expansions were produced plausibly by particles accelerated in the vicinity of the neutral line and thus lend evidence to the Cowley-Lockwood paradigm. - Remainder of abstract truncated -

Observed tail current systems associated with bursty bulk flows and auroral streamers during a period of multiple substorms
We present a multi-instrument study of a substorm bursty bulk flow (BBF) and auroral streamer. During a substorm on 25 August 2003, which was one of a series of substorms that occurred between 00:00 and 05:00 UT, the Cluster spacecraft encountered a BBF event travelling Earthwards and duskwards with a velocity of ~500 kms
some nine minutes after the onset of the substorm. Coincident with this event the IMAGE spacecraft detected an auroral streamer in the substorm auroral bulge in the Southern Hemisphere near the footpoints of the Cluster spacecraft. Using FluxGate Magnetometer (FGM) data from the four Cluster spacecraft, we determine the field-aligned currents in the BBF, using the curlometer technique, to have been ~5 mA km
. When projected into the ionosphere, these currents give ionospheric field-aligned currents of ~18 A km
, which is comparable with previously observed ionospheric field-aligned currents associated with BBFs and auroral streamers. The observations of the BBF are consistent with the plasma "bubble" model of Chen and Wolf (1993). Furthermore, we show that the observations of the BBF are consistent with the creation of the BBF by the reconnection of open field lines Earthward of a substorm associated near-Earth neutral line.

High-latitude Earth's magnetopause outside the cusp: Cluster observations
We investigated the ambient plasma and magnetic field conditions at high latitudes, as well as the macroparameters of the magnetopause. For this purpose we used Cluster spacecraft plasma and magnetic field data when all the interspacecraft distances were less than 300 km. We analyzed 154 magnetosheath-magnetosphere transitions which allow to distinguish different boundaries between the magnetosphere and the magnetosheath. First, we found transitions similar to the low-latitude boundary layer, the plasma mantle, and cusp-associated transitions. Second, we estimated the length of these transitions. Third, we found with high statistical evidence sub-Alfvénic magnetosheath plasma flows just above the plasma mantle. These flows are supposed to stabilize magnetopause reconnection. Fourth, we carried out an analysis of the magnetopause pressure balance. We found a group of 24 transitions during which both the thermal and the magnetic magnetosheath pressure exceeded the magnetospheric pressure, providing conditions for unusual magnetopause formation. Fifth, for 52 magnetopause crossings we obtained the orientation as well as distributions of velocity, thickness, and current density of the magnetopause. It was found that the magnetopause with an attached plasma mantle moves slower, is thinner, and reaches higher current densities than the one with an adjacent low-latitude-like boundary layer. A comparison with the magnetopause at low latitudes revealed that the high-latitude magnetopause is about two times thicker.

Magnetic double gradient mechanism for flapping oscillations of a current sheet
A new kind of magnetohydrodynamic waves are analyzed for a current sheet in a presence of a small normal magnetic field component varying along the sheet. As a background, two simplified models of a current sheet are considered with a uniform and nonuniform current distributions in the current sheet. On a basis of these two models, the flapping-type waves are obtained which are related to a coexistence of two gradients of the tangential and normal magnetic field components along the normal and tangential directions with respect to the current sheet. A stable situation for the current sheet is associated with a positive result of the multiplication of the two magnetic gradients, and unstable (wave growth) condition corresponds to a negative result of the product. In the stable region, the "kink"-like wave mode is interpreted as so called flapping waves observed in the Earth's magnetotail current sheet.

Observations of the development of electron temperature anisotropies in Earth's magnetosheath
Electron velocity distributions in Earth's magnetosheath exhibit a number of nonequilibrium characteristics, including a flat-topped shape at thermal energies and anisotropies relative to the magnetic field, with
perp. e
parallel e
. These features are related to processes at the bow shock and within the magnetosheath. In the present investigation we focus our attention on the development of the electron temperature anisotropy in the magnetosheath, employing the simultaneous multispacecraft data obtained by the Plasma Electron and Current Experiment (PEACE) on board Cluster. Such studies remove the temporal ambiguities introduced by single-spacecraft analyses. We find that the electron velocity space distributions just behind the bow shock are nearly isotropic with a slight
perp. e
parallel e
anisotropy, whereas deeper into the magnetosheath the electrons exhibit a significant
perp. e
parallel e
anisotropy. We find observational evidence for two processes that contribute to the sheath anisotropy. There is a clear decrease of suprathermal electrons at 0° and 180° pitch angles, suggesting that this population suffers losses (e.g., into the upstream region) related to the global configuration. Additionally, an ongoing local mechanism inflates the 90° pitch angle suprathermal electron population.

Electron flat-top distributions around the magnetic reconnection region
Cluster multisatellite observations provide snapshots of electron distributions around the magnetic neutral line. An isotropic flat-top-type electron distribution in phase space is frequently observed around the X line, together with large ion velocities and a Hall quadrupole-like magnetic field inside the hot and tenuous plasma sheet in the magnetotail. The flat-top distributions are also associated with a finite magnetic field in the direction normal to the neutral sheet, and the cross-tail current density is sometimes very small. These results indicate that the flat-top-type distribution is mainly located near the outer boundary of the ion diffusion region in the plasma sheet outflow region, before reaching the pileup region with large normal component of the magnetic field. Simultaneously with the flat-top distributions, strong field-aligned electron beams mainly toward the X line are occasionally observed. This type of beam is mainly observed in the off-equatorial plasma sheet and also appears well inside the plasma sheet. Typical energies of the beam are 410 keV, which is comparable to the upper edge of flat-top energy. These highly accelerated electron distributions have a steep decrease in phase space density at the high-energy end, and it is found that they are not correlated with the increase of the higher-energy electrons related to suprathermal acceleration (>30 keV). This result indicates that the electron acceleration processes for the flat-top-type distributions are different from the suprathermal components, both of which are beyond the conventional MHD outflow acceleration and considered to be associated with some kinetic processes.

Observation of energetic electrons within magnetic islands
Magnetic reconnection is the underlying process that releases impulsively an enormous amount of magnetic energy in solar flares, flares on strongly magnetized neutron stars and substorms in the Earth's magnetosphere. Studies of energy release during solar flares, in particular, indicate that up to 50% of the released energy is carried by accelerated 20-100 keV suprathermal electrons. How so many electrons can gain so much energy during reconnection has been a long-standing question. A recent theoretical study suggests that volume-filling contracting magnetic islands formed during reconnection can produce a large number of energetic electrons. Here we report the first evidence of the link between energetic electrons and magnetic islands during reconnection in the Earth's magnetosphere. The results indicate that energetic electron fluxes peak at sites of compressed density within islands, which imposes a new constraint on theories of electron acceleration.

Flux transfer events simultaneously observed by Polar and Cluster: Flux rope in the subsolar region and flux tube addition to the polar cusp
In this paper we present observational evidence of a flux transfer event observed simultaneously at low-latitude by Polar and at high-latitude by Cluster. This event occurs on 21 March 2002, when both Cluster and Polar are located near local noon but with a large latitudinal separation. During the event, Cluster is moving outbound from the polar cusp to the magnetosheath and Polar is in the magnetosheath near the equatorial magnetopause. The observations show that a flux transfer event occurs between the equator and the northern cusp. Polar and Cluster observe the FTE's two open flux tubes: Polar encounters the southward moving flux tube near the equator and Cluster encounters the northward moving flux tube at high latitude. The low-latitude FTE appears to be a flux rope with helical magnetic field lines as it has a strong core field and the magnetic field component in the boundary normal direction exhibits a strong bipolar variation. Unlike the low-latitude FTE, the high-latitude FTE observed by Cluster does not exhibit the characteristic bipolar perturbation in the magnetic field. However, the plasma data clearly reveal its open flux tube configuration. It shows that the magnetic field lines have straightened inside the FTE and become more aligned to the neighboring flux tubes as it moves to the cusp. Enhanced electrostatic fluctuations have been observed within the FTE core, both at low and high latitudes. This event provides a unique opportunity to understand high-latitude FTE signatures and the nature of time-varying reconnection. It shows that existing FTE models cannot accommodate all the features in global observations, and coordinated measurements from largely spaced multiple spacecraft place important constraints which are crucial to the development and refinement of FTE models.

Characterization of waves in the vicinity of an interplanetary directional discontinuity
Directional discontinuities are frequently encountered in the solar wind. This study utilizes the possibility of simultaneous four-point measurements that the Cluster satellites provide for an investigation of the waves near one such interplanetary discontinuity event. In particular, the k-filtering technique has for the first time been applied for the wave characterization in terms of frequency, wave vector, wave power, and polarization at different distances from a discontinuity. The advantages of the k-filtering method are that these parameters can be transformed into the plasma frame of reference to allow comparison with theory and that it is possible to detect more than one wave mode at each frequency in the spacecraft frame of reference. The discontinuity event in this study was chosen because its wave activity had unusually high power and because it also contains signatures of large-scale magnetic reconnection, such as a reconnection exhaust. Two wave modes are found: one which has the features of a shear Alfvén wave with propagation direction ordered by the background magnetic field direction and one which behaves like a compressional Alfvén wave and is ordered by the discontinuity normal. Both wave modes become weaker farther away from the discontinuity, but the compressional Alfvén mode is more suppressed. The shear mode dominates for long wavelengths at all distances from the discontinuity. The wave field is also found to be asymmetric on the two sides of the event.

Evidence for an Elongated (>60 Ion Skin Depths) Electron Diffusion Region during Fast Magnetic Reconnection
Observations of an extremely elongated electron diffusion region occurring during fast reconnection are presented. Cluster spacecraft in situ observations of an expanding reconnection exhaust reveal a broad current layer (~10 ion skin depths thick) supporting the reversal of the reconnecting magnetic field together with an intense current embedded at the center that is due to a super-Alfvénic electron outflow jet with transverse scale of ~9 electron skin depths. The electron jet extends at least 60 ion skin depths downstream from the X-line.

Response of the magnetosheath-cusp region to a coronal mass ejection
Cluster made an unusual magnetosheath-exterior cusp crossing during the first 2.5 hours of a coronal mass ejection (CME) that flowed past Earth for about 7 hours on 24 October 2003. During the first 2.5 hours (1525-1802 UT) the solar wind dynamic pressure remained high and stable though the CME had a discontinuity after 40 min (1605 UT), when the azimuthal flow turned dawnward up to -100 kms
and IMF B
and B
changed from highly negative to positive up to 25 nT. The responses of the magnetosheath-cusp region during the unusual event are presented using Cluster and ground-based (EISCAT VHF radar; 69.6°N, 19.2°E) observations. The unusual Cluster crossing (compared to the usual midaltitude cusp crossing at this time of the year) occurred owing to a large compression of the magnetosphere. Cluster, which was in the southern magnetospheric lobe, suddenly found itself in the magnetosheath at the arrival of the CME at 1524:45 UT. Cluster then crossed through the compressed magnetosheath (highly compressed after the discontinuity in the CME) for about 1.5 hours (1525-1655 UT), magnetopause with strong signatures of lobe reconnection (~1655 UT), stagnant but compressed exterior cusp for about an hour (1700-1802 UT), and then entered the dayside magnetosphere. The observations also show strong signatures of magnetosphere-ionosphere coupling through a late afternoon (~17 MLT) cusp during the first 40 min (1525-1605 UT) of the event when IMF B
remained negative. Strong magnetic waves are also generated in the magnetosheath-cusp region.

SAID: Plasmaspheric short circuit of substorm injections
We present magnetically-conjugate Cluster/DMSP observations of subauroral ion drifts (SAID) after the onset of a weak substorm on 18 March 2002 that confirm and expand on the previous Cluster/DMSP results. The outer side of the SAID channel is aligned with the plasmapause and its outer edge marks the dispersionless boundary of the electron precipitation. The SAID's inner edge co-locates with a sharp decrease in the flux of the injected ions whose minimum energy increases with the electric potential. Downward ionospheric FACs flow within the channel, mainly near its outer side, concentrating near the density maxima. The SAID peak co-locates either with that in the density or lies on the outer wall of the trough. The overall SAID features are consistent with a short circuiting of the substorm injection front over the plasmasphere and subsequent formation of a turbulent overlap region.

Statistical properties of small-amplitude Langmuir waves in the Earth's electron foreshock
We present the results of a statistical study of Langmuir waves observed by the Cluster spacecraft in the Earth's electron foreshock. To classify the probability density distributions of the logarithms of the wave energies, a Pearson technique is used. We show that experimental distributions can be better approximated, in a statistical sense, by Beta distribution or Pearson Type IV distribution rather than by a normal distribution predicted by the stochastic growth theory. This conclusion agrees with the results of numerical simulations that were previously performed with the use of a model for Langmuir wave propagation in unstable plasma with random inhomogeneities. The main reason for deviations of empirical distributions from a normal distribution is probably related to the effective number of regions, where the waves grow, which is not sufficiently large for the central limit theorem to be applicable under typical conditions in the Earth's electron foreshock. For two of seven events such deviations may be partially attributed to the effects of thermal Langmuir waves.

Spontaneous Generation of Self-Organized Solitary Wave Structures at Earth's Magnetopause
Spontaneous formation of solitary wave structures has been observed in Earth's magnetopause, and is shown to be caused by the breakup of a zonal flow by the action of drift wave turbulence. Here we show matched observations and modeling of coherent, large-scale solitary electrostatic structures, generated during the interaction of short-scale drift wave turbulence and zonal flows at the Earth's magnetopause. The observations were made by the Cluster spacecraft and the numerical modeling was performed using the wave-kinetic approach to drift wave-zonal flow interactions. Good agreement between observations and simulations has been found, thus explaining the emergence of the observed solitary structures as well as confirming earlier theoretical predictions of their existence.

Reconstruction of a bipolar magnetic signature in an earthward jet in the tail: Flux rope or 3D guide-field reconnection?
Southward-then-northward magnetic perturbations are often seen in the tail plasma sheet, along with earthward jets, but the generation mechanism of such bipolar B
(magnetic flux rope created through multiple X-line reconnection, transient reconnection, or else) has been controversial. At ~2313 UT on 13 August 2002, Cluster encountered a bipolar B
at the leading edge of an earthward jet, with one of the four spacecraft in the middle of the current sheet. Application to this bipolar signature of Grad-Shafranov (GS) reconstruction, the technique for recovery of two-dimensional (2D) magnetohydrostatic structures, suggests that a flux rope with diameter of ~2 R
was embedded in the jet. To investigate the validity of the GS results, the technique is applied to synthetic data from a three-dimensional (3D) MHD simulation, in which a bipolar B
can be produced through localized (3D) reconnection in the presence of guide field B
(Shirataka et al., 2006) without invoking multiple X-lines. A flux rope-type structure, which does not in fact exist in the simulation, is reconstructed but with a shape elongated in the jet direction. Unambiguous identification of a mechanism that leads to an observed bipolar B
thus seems difficult based on the topological property in the GS maps. We however infer that a flux rope was responsible for the bipolar pulse in this particular Cluster event, because the recovered magnetic structure is roughly circular, suggesting a relaxed and minimum energy state. Our results also indicate that one has to be cautious about interpretation of some (e.g., force-free, or magnetohydrostatic) model-based results.

Beam-plasma interaction in randomly inhomogeneous plasmas and statistical properties of small-amplitude Langmuir waves in the solar wind and electron foreshock
A numerical model for wave propagation in an unstable plasma with inhomogeneities is developed. This model describes the linear interaction of Langmuir wave packets with an electron beam and takes into account the angular diffusion of the wave vector due to wave scattering on small-amplitude density fluctuations, as well as suppression of the instability caused by the removal of the wave from the resonance with particles during crossing density perturbations of relatively large amplitude. Using this model, the evolution of the wave packets in inhomogeneous plasmas with an electron beam is studied. To analyze data obtained both in space experiments and numerical modeling, a Pearson technique was used to classify the spectral density distributions. It was shown that both experimental distributions obtained within the Earth's foreshock aboard the CLUSTER spacecraft and model distributions for the logarithm of wave intensity belong to Pearson type IV rather than normal. The main reason for deviations of empirical distributions from the normal one is that the effective number of regions where the waves grow is not very large and, as a consequence, the central limit theorem fails to be true under the typical conditions for the Earth's electron foreshock. For large amplitudes, it is suggested that power law tails can result from variations of wave amplitudes due to changes of group velocity in the inhomogeneous plasma, in particular due to reflection of waves from inhomogeneities.

Mode Conversion and Anomalous Transport in Kelvin-Helmholtz Vortices and Kinetic Alfvén Waves at the Earth's Magnetopause
Observations at the Earth's magnetopause identify mode conversion from surface to kinetic Alfvén waves at the Alfvén resonance. Kinetic Alfvén waves radiate into the magnetosphere from the resonance with parallel scales up to the order of the geomagnetic field-line length and spectral energy densities obeying a k
power law. Amplitudes at the Alfvén resonance are sufficient to both demagnetize ions across the magnetopause and provide field-aligned electron bursts. These waves provide diffusive transport across the magnetopause sufficient for boundary layer formation.

Kentucky Senator Rand Paul recently charged Barack Obama with wanting "to act like a king or a monarch." The particular issue of contention is the 23 executive orders that Obama ordered as part of his gun control program. Paul and others see this as unconstitutional, undemocratic and a danger to the American republic.
A look at an incomplete list of presidents and the only one who never issued an executive order was William Henry Harrison. Harrison served for only 30 days before dying.
George Washington issued executive orders, eight to be exact, as did every president after him who can claim to be a Founding Father. The first president to exceed Washington's eight was Andrew Jackson with twelve. That means the executive order was not considered unconstitutional, although it was rarely used.
Up to Dec. 20, 2012, Obama had issued 144 executive orders. The new 23 are on top of that. So maybe the unconstitutionality of the executive order is not itself but the increasing frequency of a president who is not clarifying laws but making them with executive orders.
That theory runs into a problem. Obama is on par, if not under par, with modern presidents since Dwight Eisenhower. George W. Bush issued 291 executive orders. Bill Clinton 364. George H.W. Bush 166. Ronald Reagan 381. Even the brief presidency of Gerald Ford had 169.
Eisenhower wasn't out of line either. He only had 484. It was the presidents before him who really loved the executive order. Franklin Roosevelt issued 3,522
of them in just over twelve years. Yet even one-term Herbert Hoover, 968, and Calvin Coolidge, 1203, nearly kept pace with Roosevelt.
Who's to blame for all this? Why that no-good, anti-democracy, burn-the-Constitution Teddy Roosevelt. While Roosevelt may have only used 1,081 in his time as president, no president before him issued more than Ulysses Grant who made 217. All the previous executive orders, from Washington to William McKinley, barely exceeded what Roosevelt did in his seven-and-a-half years in office.
If Paul is worrying about kings, he needs to reread the history books. The executive order is slowly declining in its use. It isn't kings that we need to fear. It's demagogues.

The Lotus-Renault team became the fourth Formula One team to present their 2011 race cars to the media. The R31, as it's being called, was presented at the pit lane of the Valencia race track ahead of its first pre-season test session that's been scheduled for next Tuesday at the same circuit.
In addition to the presentation of the black-and-gold R31, Lotus-Renault also presented their 2011 driver line-up, featuring Robert Kubica and Vitaly Petrov. Together with technical director James Allison, team principal Eric Boullier, and chairman Gerard Lopez, Kubica and Petrov personally pulled the covers off of the R31, marking the return to partnership of two companies - Lotus and Renault - that last worked together in the 80s.
"Words like 'aggressive' and 'innovative' are very much in vogue in Formula One at the moment, but where the R31 is concerned we feel those adjectives are appropriate," Allison said.
"It's true to say that the car has been designed in an ambitious manner and a quick glance at the layout will confirm that its entire concept differs considerably, not just from last year's car, but from any car this team has ever produced."
Details on the Lotus Renault R31 after the jump.

Elizabeth's Cure: Playing Catch-Up
Liveblogging the january cure 2014
We're getting near the end of the January Cure, and it's always a huge relief to pause the crazy patter of ongoing projects and deep cleans to take a look around and assess progress.
My main project for this year's Cure was to finish the living room. Adding curtains was the biggest part of that, but we ran into some road blocks with that one. I did acquire lamps, though! We got a vintage chandelier for the living room, and for the first time since we moved in there is enough light to read and sew by, even after dark. Also, the electrician who came to hang the chandelier looked exactly like Chris Pratt from Parks and Recreation, so that was exciting.
We also got a pair of these lamps:
We moved a desk from the hallway into the alcove where the Christmas tree and the exercise bike had been living. And I even caved and bought a rug. This is actually the first rug we've ever purchased. Now my apartment has that new rug smell, but I've had the windows open for a few hours and I think it will go away soon.
Curtains were actually purchased. I picked the Aina linen curtains from Ikea, in pink.
I was not originally intending to go with pink curtains, but after going through my options and looking at Ikea curtains in action on other people's blogs, I decided on the Aina curtains even though my options were only pink or neutrals. The Christmas tree looked good in the corner and it was pink, so I figured pink curtains might work as well. We'll see.
The curtains are not yet hanging though. Even though we bought a drill with a special concrete bit and everything, our house was too much for it. Our friendly neighborhood handyman will be coming to take care of it in a few days.
When I first brought up the new curtain plan, some helpful Apartment Therapy commenters pointed out that blinds might be better for the center window, because curtains would cover the radiator. That was a good point, but I met some unexpected resistance when it turns out my husband hates blinds. I've never met anyone who hated blinds before, but he does. We caucused and decided a Roman shade would be acceptable. I'll make my own from a spare Aina panel so it matches the curtains.
So while we have not yet accomplished everything we set out to, we have achieved some things we weren't expecting to get to, like the rug and the lamps. OK, I'm not spending any more money until August, but I'm pretty happy with the progress made so far.

I like it! The room is looking more put together with the addition of the rug and I think the pink curtains will work nicely.
Where is the rug from?
The rug is from Otto, a discount rug site I found online: https://www.otto.de/p/orient-teppich-my-home-eva-viskose-389086939/#variationId=389087343
Yes! The rug, the rug, tell us about the rug! How big is it and where did you find it?
Wow. To quote The Big Lebowski, "The rug really ties the room together".
Love the desk there with the plants. It would be so perfect centered.
I want to center the desk too! My husband stuck it over on the side like that, and when I tried to move it he complained that there wasn't enough of an aisle to get around it. Maybe if I figure out another place for the rack of plants I can try again.

How fine targeted is ALMP to the youth long term unemployed in Italy?
AbstractThis paper attempts a qualitative and quantitative evaluation of the ability of the Italian Active Labour Market Policy (ALMP) to target long term youth unemployed. The European Employment Strategy (EES) has given a new impulse to ALMP as the main tool to fight long term youth unemployment. It has also stressed the need for continuous monitoring and evaluation of the results obtained. However, while monitoring is now established, little evaluation has been carried out so far. After providing up to date evidence of the size and features of youth unemployment in Italy, we show that the measures implemented include reforms of the education, training and employment systems and direct incentives to employ young workers. This suggests all the evaluation studies based on individual programmes are insufficient and an overall evaluation of the impact of the programmes on the employability of the workers involved is needed. The results of the econometric analysis, based on individual level YUSE data, suggest qualification and work experience are the most important determinants of job finding, especially in flows to employment in the formal sector. However, training and participation on ALMP does not significantly improve the employability of young workers. A number of reasons could explain this apparently surprising result. Especially in Southern regions, micropolicies could be totally ineffective because of the generally negative labour demand conditions. Moreover, expenditure on ALMP is very low (less than 1% of GDP in 1999), compared to the very high unemployment level. Thirdly, a substantial institutional and financial poverty still characterises labour supply policy. Finally, structural reforms, such as those relative to the educational system, require time to be completed and to produce their expected outcomes. In the meanwhile, workers involved in training programmes face the prospect of falling into a sort of "training trap".

In all my speaking, training and coaching, this has to be the most popular question when talking about LinkedIn. To link or not to link…should a job seeker go after a high quantity of connections or focus more on the quality of connections? My answer – in short – is both. I am a strong believer and advocate that out of quantity comes quality.
Guy Kawasaki, of Alltop fame, says it best when talking about Twitter: "Nobodies are the new somebodies." Albeit a different medium, I think that philosophy applies here. LinkedIn is the premier on-line professional networking site. And, just as you would network at a live event, the goal should be to get to know those you don't already know. Moreover, following Kawasaki's logic, don't try to predetermine who can help you…those second and third degrees of separation with the most random of persons can take you places you never expected to go!
It's essential to connect with likeminded people. A massive number of connections with non-networking types nets you "garbage in, garbage out." Personally, I have used OpenNetworker to grow my network from under 2,000 connections to over 15,000 in just over a year. More importantly, 15,000 connections who want to network. This has been instrumental in helping me get the word out on what I do and the pain I address (more on this in a second). I don't decide who needs to hear my message – I let the audience…my connections…decide what has value. They then make the introductions and connections accordingly.
For the job seeker in particular, you must have your message down. More importantly, your message (or, as I call it, Your Solution) isn't that you are unemployed or that you are looking for work. It's all about where you have consistently delivered value to employers in the past – painting the picture of what you can do for a future employer. When working with clients on their Solution, we get crystal clear on the problems (or pains) they solve. Fine tune the Solution, push it out as a clear message, attract those in pain (i.e. those who need what you can deliver) and then explore the fit (interview).

Almost everyone knows a standalone car GPS will correctly guide them to their destination.
But some Garmin models can provide guidance of a different sort - if you are willing to shell out $100 or so for a little-known add-on called ecoRoute HD.
Instead of dealing with maps and routes, this little gadget focuses on the internal workings of your car's engine - and as the name implies, perhaps can help you squeeze a few extra miles per gallon from every drop of that increasingly expensive gasoline.
With prices now hovering around $4 a gallon, that's a good thing.
When I first heard about this gadget, quite by accident, I was a little incredulous. After all, what in the world does a GPS unit have to do with how your vehicle's engine is performing? But in a world where GPS competition is intense and prices have fallen precipitously, one assumes Garmin is looking for every advantage it can to distinguish itself from other competitors. As far as I can tell, Garmin is the only company with such an option.
And what an interesting option it is, especially if you are a gearhead curious about what's going on inside your engine at any given moment. EcoRoute HD taps into that information by plugging into your vehicle's OBD-II port - basically a hot line to the computer that controls and monitors the engine. Almost every vehicle built since 1996 has one.
Auto mechanics have a device that plugs into the OBD II port to diagnose problems when you take your vehicle in for repair - like when your "check engine" light comes on. EcoRoute HD does the same thing, except it monitors your engine all the time and transmits that information via a wireless Bluetooth connection to your Garmin GPS. (Only certain models are compatible and a few vehicles are incompatible. Check Garmin's website, garmin.com, for more details.)
The actual ecoRoute HD device is a black chunk of plastic about the size of a smartphone, but a bit fatter. After you plug it in, you can use the supplied double-sided tape or plastic ties to secure it under your dash. (The OBD-II port is typically under the driver's side of the dash.) You then have to pair it to your GPS unit, as you would any Bluetooth device. It automatically reconnects every time you start your car.
Now comes the fun part. The GPS has an "ecoRoute" option in the menu, which expands to include several new categories once the ecoRoute HD is detected and functioning : Gauges and Mileage Report.
Gauges is mainly for the gearheads because it provides a lot of detailed technical information about what's going on inside the engine in real time. Some of gauges, like the speedometer and tachometer, are pretty familiar. Most of the rest are not and will vary depending on the vehicle.
In my late model Honda Civic, I get to see things like the exact degrees of timing advance and intake manifold pressure, as well as the coolant temperature, engine load and the volts reading during battery charging (If you are old enough, you can probably remember when all cars had an amp gauge, which is what this essentially is.) You can view five gauges at once and each gauge can be set to report one of three or four different functions.
More useful, in my view, is the mileage report page, which reports real-time miles per gallon, which I was surprised to learn varies from as little as 5 to more than 100 depending on conditions, along with a more useful average miles per gallon reading. Many newer vehicles have built-in systems to report this information, but my Honda does not, so I was glad to get this functionality. The same mileage report page shows how much fuel has been used and its cost (based on data you enter at each fill up). And if you are one of those super environmentalists worried about your carbon footprint, ecoRoute reports that, too (just in case you want to buy carbon credit offsets to balance the CO2 produced by your fuel consumption). By default, the GPS reports miles per gallon and its cost at the end of every trip.
A third menu option, ecoChallenge, turns your efforts to improve driving efficiency into a game. With the help of ecoRoute HD, a color-coded graph is generated and shows how well you are doing on things like acceleration, speed and braking, along with an overall score. If you do well on all fronts, you get a high score and the bars are all green. Do a little worse, the bars turn yellow. Do lousy, the bars turn red.
Not impressed? How about this one: If your vehicle's check engine light pops on, you no longer have to drive to a garage and pay a mechanic big bucks to find out what it means. The ecoRoute HD unit will not only tell you exactly what's wrong, it probably will allow you to reset the switch to turn off the light. That alone may make it worth the cost of purchase.
Admittedly, the ecoRoute HD is not for everyone. Many motorists will have little interest in the technical details of how their vehicle is running or care about MPG, especially given the $100 price tag. But for gadget freaks and gearheads, it's worth a look.

Colorectal Cancer Health Center
Frequently Asked Questions About Colorectal Cancer
Print out these questions and answers to discuss with your doctor.
1. I'm a 45 year-old man with no family history of colorectal cancer or polyps. Should I start getting tested for colon cancer? What are the different types of tests for this cancer?
Because you don't have a family history of colorectal cancer or polyps, you are considered at average risk for colorectal cancer. Men with average risk should begin prevention examinations at age 50. The recommended screening tests to detect early-stage lesions and polyps for men at average risk include:
- Fecal occult blood test This test examines the stool for blood not easily noticed by the naked eye. For men at average risk of colorectal cancer, this test should be performed every year starting at age 50.
- Flexible sigmoidoscopy Flexible sigmoidoscopy is a routine outpatient procedure in which a physician uses a sigmoidoscope (a long, flexible instrument about a 1/2-inch in diameter) to view the lining of the rectum and the lower third of the colon (called the sigmoid and descending colon). This test is usually done every 5 years and can be used in combination with the yearly fecal occult blood test.
- Air contrast barium enema Sometimes, a doctor will use a test called air contrast barium enema. This test is an X-ray examination of the entire colon and rectum in which barium and air are introduced gradually into the colon by a rectal tube to improve visualization. Doctors typically recommend this test (sometimes in combination with flexible sigmoidoscopy) every five years, starting at age 50.
- Colonoscopy This is an outpatient procedure in which the rectum and the inside of the entire colon are examined. During a colonoscopy, a doctor uses a long, flexible instrument about a 1/2-inch in diameter to view the lining of the colon. This test is recommended every 10 years, starting at age 50.
2. I found a little bit of blood in my stool. Could I have colorectal cancer?
The earliest sign of colorectal cancer may be bleeding. But if you find blood in your stool, don't panic. A number of different illnesses can cause bleeding, not just colon cancer. If you find blood in your stool, see your doctor so that a correct diagnosis can be made and proper treatment received.
Other symptoms to look out for if you suspect colon cancer include:
- Change in bowel habits (constipation or diarrhea)
- Unusual stomach or gas pains
- Very narrow stool
- A feeling that the bowel has not emptied completely after passing stool
- Unexplained weight loss
- Fatigue

Dr. Mercola's Total Health Breakthrough for Weight Loss & Longer Life
Dr. Mercola's Total Health Program bundled with 5 natural health reports + a FREE healthy cookbook for an amazing value!
Since 1982, Dr. Joseph Mercola has been a licensed physician and surgeon in the state of Illinois. In 1997, he started Mercola.com, the world's #1 ranked Natural Health website with over a million newsletter subscribers now.
To date, Dr. Mercola has been featured on the Today Show, CNN, ABC's World News Tonight with Peter Jennings, CBS, NBC and ABC local news shows. He has also been recognized with numerous awards, including the Huffington Post's Ultimate Wellness Game Changer for 2009.
Aiming to transform the prevailing medical paradigm (which he believes is responsible for killing millions in the U.S.), Dr. Mercola believes in optimizing one's health and weight through proper nutrition coupled with exercise and good, natural lifestyle choices.
"(He) is at the forefront of a health revolution that will change the face of our nation." – Jordan S. Nubin, N.M.D., P.H.D., author of bestseller The Maker's Diet
"Dr. Mercola is one of the very few physicians who combine a very-long-term view of diet and human health with individualized diet recommendations." – Dr. Jonathan V. Wright, M.D., medical director, Tahoma Clinic, Renton, WA
"His message is universal: You have the right to be fully informed about how you can stay healthy naturally so you can make wise choices that will allow you to live a long, productive, and happy life." – Barbara Loe Fisher, co-founder & president, National Vaccine Information Center
Let me hazard a guess: You landed on this page because you want to lose weight. Or – you are within the normal weight range, but do not feel healthy. Perhaps you are looking for long-term solutions to your health woes.

Week 15 Pittsburgh Steelers
Overall, the Steelers have done well against the pass this year. But, in their last 4 games, Pittsburgh has given up a whopping average of 315 yards per game. Andy threw a respectable 280 yards in Week 2 against Pitt, but if you remember, that whole game was kind of 'bleh' in many aspects.
Week 16 Minnesota Vikings
Not to kick a team while they're down, but this could be one of those "Jets kinda games." The Vikings are last or almost last in all defensive passing categories. What really jumps out is their 24 passing touchdowns allowed. AJ Green could have a hey-day with these cornerbacks. Most importantly, those who have a fantasy football lineup rich with Bengals players, are bound to come out victorious in their championship matchup this week.
Week 17 Baltimore Ravens
Andy doesn't do well against the Ravens. Let's face it. Week 17 could have more dire playoff implications than originally thought. If this is the year that Dalton turns it around in meaningful December games, this could be his first test.

8 shocking ways marriage changes after babyYou knew that things would be different after baby came along -- but nothing prepared you for these total 180s.
1. The change is unavoidable -- and often unspeakable.
"If someone tells you that their marriage didn't change, they're not being honest with you. When you go from just you and your spouse to you, your spouse and a baby, things will change. Change isn't a bad thing -- at least not always." -- jiffymama616*
Sound familiar? Remember when you thought your baby was going to fit neatly into your current life? Nope, not happening. Once you have a baby, you become painfully aware that your life now revolves around this little helpless being who needs you -- and who despite having a pretty simple existence (eating, sleeping, pooping), needs round-the-clock care and undivided attention. Consider your world officially rocked -- your relationship included.
2. You might hate your partner a little bit.
"I was so hormonal and crazy from breastfeeding, and my husband had a hard time because he didn't know how to help." -- busymama113
Maybe hate is a strong word, but you might find yourself snapping at your partner a whole lot more than you used to. You might resent him a little for going to work while you're home on leave, you might despise the way he fastens a diaper or mixes a bottle or washes the whites. But remember: This does not mean you're headed for divorce. Some people call those early mood swings -- likely a result of hormonal changes and sleep deprivation -- the baby blues." And they're normal, as long as they don't escalate into postpartum depression. Your hormones will eventually balance out -- but you've also got to make up your mind to snap out of your bad mood.
3. You don't nurture your relationship the way you know you should.
"We didn't really talk about how things were going to change once we had a baby. Sure, we talked about diapers and day care and discipline and stuff like that. My husband travels for a living, so when he would come home, he would want 100 percent of my attention, but he had to wait or try to talk over a crying baby and, now, chatty toddler. That was hard for both of us. Mostly our challenges came from not having the time and attention for each other like we did before." -- lilmama514

Hidden Highlights 02.13.12: Laurinaitis, Jericho, More
Posted by
Dimitri Dorlis
on 02.13.2012
The return of Hidden Highlights features our love for all things Laurinaitis, a cricket bat, and Jericho reassumes his place as the Best in the World at what he does.
Hidden Highlight (n)
– a small, hardly noticeable point that makes a big, positive difference. This could be anything from a wrestler putting extra emphasis into his moves to make it believable to a person in the background reacting while not the focus to the cameraman shaking the picture to create an effect. There are just so many unsung heroes of wrestling that it is impossible to cover them all.
And with that, welcome to the triumphant return of Hidden Highlights. You've asked for its return, and we here at 411mania listened. I am your host, Dimitri Dorlis, and no, I'm not JP Prag. Prag is enjoying the retired life, and good for him. But we're going to bring back the spirit and fun that made this the most positive article on wrestling found anywhere! But we won't be bringing everything back….
Ghost of JT
: So I'm not coming back?
: Glad you figured that one out. I'm also going to do away with these conversations because, if there's one thing I'm bad at writing, it is dialogue. And proper sentences. Possibly even jokes….
But enough silliness. Each week on Hidden Highlights, we'll be looking back on the week of wrestling, taking a look at our top 3 highlights from each of the major wrestling shows (Raw, Impact and Smackdown) and a PPV if one occurs. And sorry, RoH bots, but I'm on the two-week delay to get the internet show here in Los Angeles, so unless Sinclair Broadcasting buys itself an LA station that I can watch on, or I find someone else on the staff willing to do some highlights for RoH, you're out of luck. Maybe I'll sneak an iPPV in here for you occasionally.
Also, as with the original Hidden Highlights, we'll also take a look at reader-submitted highlights, and post our favorite ones at the end of the columns. How do you get your submissions in to me? Well, you have two options. The recommended option would be to send me an email at email@example.com with the title Hidden Highlight. The second option would be to leave a comment here with your highlight, although I can't guarantee that I'll read all the comment highlights, so if you really want to get your submission in, send me that email. The best 10 submissions will get posted, so make them good!
And with all the housekeeping out of the way, let's get down to business.
3. Still vegan. Still champion.
- Daniel Bryan has been on some kind of roll as of late, but I love how he's slowly worked being a vegan into his heel shtick. Case in point, during his promo following his match with Big Show, Bryan listed off the three things that he will continue to be. Hidden in the middle of those three things was Bryan mentioning that he will continue to be vegan. I love that Bryan has been able to turn his veganism into a negative trait in the eyes of the fans, and this was a lot more subtle than his argument with Teddy Long over hot dogs on Friday.
2. Everything matches.
- I imagine you thought that Otunga would get a Hidden Highlight for Tebow'ing in the middle of Raw. Believe me, I really wanted to. But no, Otunga got a Hidden Highlight instead for having matching attire. And by attire, I mean sweater, pants, tie and thermos. Yes, his thermos matches the rest of his outfit. Laurinaitis may be my favorite character on TV right now, but Otunga is really rising, which isn't something I thought I'd say a year ago.
1. Jericho is a heel, and also great.
- God I've missed Jericho. He just knows how to do the little things that make him a Hidden Highlight Hall of Famer (hey, looks like we may have a new segment idea right there). Take, for example, the end of the six-pack challenge on Raw. Punk hit the G2S on Ziggler, and Jericho broke up the cover and threw Punk over the announce table for his trouble. But the real highlight was Jericho throwing the Raw cover from the table on top of Punk before going back to the ring to pin Ziggler. And, even though it was obvious that Ziggler was out, Jericho heeled it up by putting a leg up on the rope for good measure.
Full disclosure. I stopped watching TNA about a year ago, and I've been relegated to watching clips occasionally since then. So for the first few weeks, the Highlights will be a little weaker than the other sections, but we'll get the quality of them up soon. Plus this gives you wonderful readers a whole show where you'll most-likely find more highlights than me.
3. The Icon is culturally sensitive.
- One of Sting's trademark weapons since WCW has been the black baseball bat. So I have to give credit to TNA here for subbing out Sting's bat for a cricket paddle. I mean, sure, it's a little hokey, but as a lover of all things British, I thought it was a nice touch.
2. Brutus Magnus is British, just FYI.
- Going back to me loving British things, Magnus had a wonderful promo that totally played off of his heritage. American fans probably won't get as much out of that promo, but from Brutus implying that he's not that fond of the Irish to making sure the fans knew they were in England (which is only one part of the UK), this was perfect.
1. And Doug Williams plays the role of Roderick Strong.
- I realize this is as close as we're going to get to a Generation Next reunion in TNA, but I love this Aries/Shelley feud. Notice during the entrances how Aries and Shelley seemed to be joking around with each other. Other fun parts were all the counters the two (and Williams to a degree) were pulling out in regards to each other's moves.
3. Cole went to the Milford Academy.
- At the end of the night, Orton and Big Show got into a brawl following the main event. The announcers were forced to scatter as Orton and Show fought where they usually sit, but watch Cole here. Instead of just running away, he goes to the other side of the announce table, crouches down so as not to get in the camera shot, and added a few more words of commentary. I know a lot of people on this website dislike Cole, but they should give him credit for doing a good job in this situation.
2. Color coded.
- During the backstage segment with Aksana and Teddy Long (who, by the way, adhered to the Smackdown rules by turning the opening segment into a TAG TEAM MATCH, PLAYA! HOLLA HOLLA!), Aksana and Long started to get somewhat-intimate. The scene was complete with pink mood lighting and the corny saxophone that the WWE always manages to use for these situations. Enter Daniel Bryan to immediately ruin the moment, which prompted a record scratch and a change in the lighting color. I have to appreciate that the WWE realized how corny the whole thing was, and went the extra mile to emphasis the ridiculousness.
1. He doesn't just explain his title.
- You're going to learn as this column goes along that I love John Laurinaitis' character. What put him over the top for me was when he introduced himself to Ryder and Swagger in a
backstage segment
, then ended the segment by smiling and staring off into the distance. I'm secretly convinced that Johnny Ace is a comedic genius who was just never allowed to show off this level of greatness. Anyway, on to Smackdown, where Johnny was calling in from Abu Dhabi to gloat over his retention as interim Raw General Manager. During the segment, not only did he remind everyone of his position in the company, but he took time to educate everyone on what U.A.E. stands for, and also its location. Pure greatness from Laurinaitis here.
Reader Highlights
Since this is the first week, we don't have any reader highlights to add this week. Let's try and remedy that for next week, shall we? Also if you would like to make a new banner for the column, go ahead and send me a sample. Lord knows you're seeing the height of my editing abilities in the temporary banner at the top.
And with that, the first edition of Hidden Highlights v2.0 is in the books. Make sure to send in your reader Highlights so we can return this to being the most reader-inclusive and positive article in the IWC.
