Winter storm cancellations: your 'rights'
Although the big Thanksgiving storm didn't disrupt air travel as much as many expected, a lot of travelers were still inconvenienced -- some seriously, some only slightly. And although that storm is history, winter is just beginning, and you may well face similar situations, somewhere in the country, over the next three to four months. So in advance of any immediate threats, you may well want to consider what happens -- and what rights you have -- when an airline announces massive pre-emptive cancellations in advance of a storm.

Sorry shooter fans, but if you were looking for another FPS to play on Nintendo's new console, it looks like you're stuck with just Black Ops 2 for the time being.
NintendoEverything is reporting Gearbox President Randy Pitchford explanation that the wacky shooter-RPG cross breed Borderlands 2 is not coming to the Wii U.
When asked why, Pitchford explained the answer was quite simple. "Because we couldn't think of a natural, obvious, 'OMG, I want that for what the Wii U brings to the table' feature."
Like Us on Facebook
Makes sense. After all, a wide array of the games that were already available on other consoles made sure to take advantage of the Wii U's tablet controller in order to spice things up a bit, offering players a new take on "older" games.
But this doesn't mean that Gearbox isn't forgoing the Wii U for any of their other games. As a matter of fact, Pitchford feels that Aliens: Colonial Marines will make a great fit due to the game's motion scanner device.
Pitchford helped clarify the mood the motion controller would bring to the game, saying, "But with Aliens, the first thing we thought was 'Holy shit, I can have a motion controller in my hands!' When it's there in my lap it feels like I'm part of the movie." It's better if you try to hear that in Hudson's voice.
Expect to see it in action in a future Colonial Marines trailer.
Better no game than a shoddy one.
Borderlands 2 is out now on PC, Mac, PlayStation 3, and Xbox 360. A new DLC, Mr. Torgue's Campaign of Carnage was released Nov. 20, and at least two more DLC campaigns are planned for future releases.
Speaking with GameZone, Gearbox President Randy Pitchford said, "We are just getting started and have incredible momentum to improve and add to the game all the way through the holiday season and beyond. We can't wait to show everyone what more we have in store for Borderlands 2."

Another Reason to love Google, and buy a Firefox tshirt
See the following video by Matt Cutts (head of Google's web-spam team):
Wow, he is wearing a Firefox t-shirt in a public video!!
Completely agree with the youtube user Todd Daubs:
You know you work for a cool company when you can wear a t-shirt advertising a different browser than the company's own.
Webmaster, this also means that wearing firefox tshirt can boost ranking of your websites. Buy it noooow! :p

A developing cyclone could threaten areas from the Arabian Peninsula to northwestern India next week.
The remnants of Tropical Depression 9 will move over Mexico's Yucatan Peninsula through Friday, bringing heavy rain and gusty winds. Another system nearby bears watching.
The ninth tropical depression of the Atlantic hurricane season has formed in the southwestern Gulf of Mexico, but effects will be far-reaching as the system moves slowly eastward.
Hawaii will continue to face some hazards from Ana through early this week, despite escaping a direct hit.
Gonzalo battered Bermuda and Newfoundland with heavy rain and powerful winds over the weekend.
Trudy has weakened to a tropical rainstorm, but it still poses a threat to Mexico with flooding rain and mudslides.
Gonzalo will travel into Canada waters and will pass near the Avalon Peninsula in southeastern Newfoundland this weekend.
A surge in rain and wind could reach Hawaii later this week as a Tropical Storm Ana becomes better organized.

How can I avoid my toddler's public screaming performances?
Help! My 13-month-old has taken to screaming and letting out high-pitched screeches, to the point where I hesitate to take him to public places. I can't get a babysitter every time I need to run a quick errand -- and I'd like to avoid those glares from people in the grocery store. What can I do?

My daughter is the same way. She just turned 1 two weeks ago. Usually what I do is take her out of the the restaurant until she has settle down. I have had so many people try to give their own advice like she needs to learn where to use her indoor voice. So she is not learning anything by you removing her from the situation. I have also tried to bring toys and snacks for her. Sometimes that doesn't even work.posted 10/30/2011 by a BabyCenter Member

My 2 1/2 year old son is also a screamer, he screams at everything, lately its just gotten so bad that my husban and I don't know what to do. He screams in public when he doesn't get his way, today we were at a store trying to pick out some shoes for my dd and he started screaming because he wanted to try on shoes and would not calm down, I took him out to the car and while he was screaming in the car a lady just sat there and stared at me shaking her head, it makes me so mad when people do that why can't they mind their own business its embarrassing enough as it is.posted 09/08/2011 by a BabyCenter Member

I have read a lot of these posts, and it is nice to know that there are others out there who are expreiencing, or have experienced similar situations with their toddlers. I have two boys, ages 5 and 2. My 2 year old is a total screamer... happy, sad, excited, mad... it really does not matter... he just screams about EVERYTHING. This is bazaar for my husband and I because our oldest never did this, and we are so lost on how to get it to stop, or at the very least slow down. People are sooooo rude, and make it almost impossible feeling inside to continue with our day successfully. We get bombarded and shoved out of, not only public places, but out of our home as well! That's right! Our home! We live in an apartment complex, and have had the police called on us twice, and neighbors have come to our doors and windows to shout at us and tell us to shut our kid up! One guy yells at our 2 year old telling him to shut up... Ummmmm... Ya... totally innappropriate! Any advice?posted 05/14/2011 by ProudMotherOf2Boys
My 19 month old girl is a screamer. So loud it pierces my ears! She is learning to talk but isn't totally verbal yet so when she wants something and can't explain it, that's when the screams begin. Also when she is bored she screams. One thing I have found very helpful is baby sign language. She has picked up on it very quickly and it has saved us lots of tatrums because she can tell me what she wants even if she can't verbalize it. I just got a book at the library about Baby Signs. I'm hoping she'll outgrow the screaming as she becomes more verbal and can say what she wants but I know the tatrums are a stage so I do all I can to be patient. How would you feel if you had a big giant pulling you around by the hand all the time telling you what you could and could not do? That is how it is for a toddler and the more love and patients we can show, the more secure they will feel and the faster they will outgrow the screaming, crying, tatrums.posted 03/14/2005 by djerard
I don't know if my 21mo Ana was/is a great screamer, all I know is that when she does, I start screaming, too, if the place allows. She looks very surprised and every time stops, either a little pissed off or laughing. Or, I cover my ears, which annoys her terribly and draws her attention from screaming to uncovering my ears.posted 02/16/2011 by Lucia - Ana's mom
My son (almost 3) is a screamer. It was the worst between 24-30mos. Hes just now understanding that it isnt an appropriate way to vent his frustration. I find that when we are at home the easiest way to get him to stop is to just walk away. If hes playing with something or watching a tv show i take that away as well. I calmly explain to him that when he is ready to stop screaming he can have his toy or tv show back and then leave the room. He usually stops almost immediately and the episodes are less frequent. I have also noticed that he screams alot in public but now when I take him to a store i let him walk along side me and help me pick things out rather than being in a carriage or stroller and in a restaurant he sits in a regular chair not a high chair. This has made a HUGE difference as far as public outings. Another thing ive noticed is that screaming usually occurs more when hes hungry. So i try to keep snacks with me and that helps alot too esp when waiting in a restaurant.posted 01/08/2011 by a BabyCenter Member

How Can Pharma Use Social Media In The Right Way?
We all know that the popularity of social media has sky rocketed, for the pharma industry, most notably within the last 12 months. Testament to this increase is the popularity of this blog, as well our LinkedIn group. I am proud to say that we now have 1,200 members of this group (and counting!) so it's clear that people enjoy "meeting" and sharing ideas in this way. Don't get me wrong, we're still testing the water; trying to work out how best to use this new tool. Read more »

Jet Aviation has extended its facilities at Berlin Tegel International Airport to include a new customer lounge and crew briefing offices at Tegel's general aviation center. The expansion is in response to customer demand for full ground-handling services at Tegel, it said. The company opened its Berlin FBO in February to provide FBO services at Schönefeld and Tegel International Airports. The new customer lounge and crew briefing offices at Tegel are in addition to Jet Aviation's existing crew and passenger lounge and operations office at Schönefeld.
Transport in Berlin
Signature Flight Support's operation in Munich has made agreements with other FBOs to provide support to operators at 13 other German airports.
Germany's Air Berlin has cut the number of airplanes in its firm order for Boeing 787 Dreamliners from 25 to 15, and the number of options from 10 to five, the company said today in a statement. The adjustment reduces the value of the order, based on current list prices, by $1.7 billion.
Air Berlin also said that it has reached an agreement with Boeing to reschedule delivery of nine 737s from 2010 and 2011 to 2015.
Berlin Airports has selected ExecuJet Europe to be the official operator of the new general aviation terminal at Berlin-Schoenefeld Airport. The facility was handed
Berlin's historic Tempelhof Airport finally lost its long battle against closure on October 30 when all operations at the downtown facility ceased. Quite apart from the nostalgic blow of seeing the venue for the epic Berlin Air Lift of 1948-49 reduced to a commercial property development, the German capital has lost its most convenient gateway for business aircraft.
ExecuJet Europe last week opened its redesigned and enlarged FBO at Berlin-Schönefeld Airport ,which will serve the influx of business aviation traffic that will flock to Schönefeld following the closure today of the German capital's downtown Tempelhof Airport.
ExecuJet Europe is expanding its presence at Berlin Schönefeld Airport in Berlin, following an April 27 public referendum that will lead to the closure of the city's famed Tempelhof Airport in October. ExecuJet launched an upgrade of its Schönefeld FBO in April, building a new passenger lounge, conference room, pilot lounge and briefing and operations room.
Berlin Tempelhof airport will almost certainly close on October 31. In a public referendum held on April 27, a majority of voters– some 60 percent–favored keeping the downtown airport open, but they represented only 21.3 percent of the city's 2.425 million electors. A quorum of 25 percent was required for the vote to qualify as a recommendation to the Berlin Senate, which was to make the final decision.
The citizens of Berlin showed little interest on Sunday in keeping historic Tempelhof Airport open. Supporters of the German downtown airport took advantage of rarely used local legislation to force a public referendum and obtained the organization of a popular vote by city authorities. While the result is valid only as a recommendation, a strong show of support could have influenced authorities to spare the airport.
Defenders of Berlin Tempelhof Airport in downtown Berlin have reported significant progress in their fight to keep the downtown airport open. At least 170,000 favorable votes are required for a full public referendum, and by the middle of last month the vote count had reached 190,000. Bernd Gans, president of the German business aviation association, told AIN he anticipates more than 200,000 in total.

Voice of Reason
today's reading.
1 Samuel 19 And Saul spoke to Jonathan his son and to all his servants, that they should kill David. But Jonathan, Saul's son, delighted much in David...
think about it.
How does Jonathan defend or protect David? What is the covenant or promise between Jonathan and David (20:11-23)? What does this reveal about Jonathan's faith in God? What does Jonathan's response to Saul's anger tell you about his character? What impact do you think your emotions or attitudes have on others around you? What needs to change?
the blog.
Again today Saul is not thinking clearly. He is blinded by jealousy and acting sinfully. As we begin 1 Samuel 19 he informs his servants and his son Jonathan (who is David's best friend, by the way) that they should kill David. Now keep in mind that Saul is not only Jonathan's father, he is also the king. Even so, Jonathan speaks up and confronts Saul about his sinful intent. "Let not the king sin against his servant David, because he has not sinned again you, and because his deeds have brought good to you" (vs. 4). Saul listens to Jonathan and changes course with regard to killing David, albeit only briefly.
So what does 1 Samuel 19:1-7 show us about the importance of having godly friends and relationships? How can we use this passage to help us deal with things like conflict, adversity or sinful behavior with regard to ourselves and how we interact with others? Tami W.

You Can't Take Them Anywhere! Reno
This week, we kick off the travel portion of our new show with a trip to sunny Reno, Nevada (made possible by the nice people at the Reno-Sparks Convention & Visitors Authority).
While in Reno, we stayed at the posh Peppermill Hotel Casino, snowboarded ourselves into exhaustion at Mt.

"In the late 1800's, a Scottish weaver created a series of fabrics in a limited edition for the world's four most prominent universities: Harvard, Yale, Cambridge and Oxford. As a whole, the series of fabrics was quickly forgotten—only Oxford found a place in the modern closet. Similar to poplin, Oxford is based on a plain weave, though it uses double threads in both weave directions for a more distinct texture"

Weezer Fever: A local tribute to a '90s icon
Published: February 12, 2014
"My second show I ever went to as a kid was Weezer," says Islands & Tigers singer/guitarist Bobby Rivas, who at 20, is exactly the same age as the blue album. "Growing up, playing guitar at 12 years old, those were some of the first songs I learned. Rivers Cuomo is our god."
If there was a battle to be fought, it was over how to divvy up the 20 tracks on the blue album and Pinkerton among the six bands on the bill.
"We did have to fight over 'El Scorcho,'" says Rivas. "We had a long email going with some of the other bands where we had to settle who got to take that song. But we knew that stuff off the first two albums would be hard to get."
For their part, lovelettertypewriter will mine a couple of early non-album deep cuts including "Long Time Sunshine" and "Jamie" along with Pinkerton closer "Butterfly."
Bright Like the Sun's set reads a bit more like a greatest hits tracklist, including "My Name Is Jonas," "The Good Life," "Say It Ain't So" and the band's personal favorite "Only In Dreams."
"That track is so different from anything else they've ever done," says Etheredge. "'Only In Dreams' was the first exposure I had with post-rock without even knowing what post-rock was. That second movement brought me to tears when I first heard it."
As is the case with such a beloved band, the more the everyone talked Weezer, the more clear it became that the tribute show couldn't come soon enough.
"The bands that are playing are calling me, telling me that they're not even practicing their own material, they just want to play Weezer songs," says Etheredge. "I think the energy for the show is going to be unreal."

The outgoing CEO and co-founder of Yahoo Jerry Yang seems to be taking the new round of layoffs rather casually, if his letter to them at Yahoo Anecdotal is any indication.
The entry titled "Tough times" was written in all lower case - written in a casual tone despite the seriousness of the occasion to those leaving. Obviously "saying goodbye to colleagues and friends is never easy" but perhaps it deserves more than what looks like a casual note jotted off in a hurry.
A sale of Yahoo at $31 may have led to as many layoffs, but the departing employees would have more money than the 4 months severance ValleyWag reports to fall back on. A sentence in the About page for Yahoo Anecdotal - though not directed at this situation - has a resonance I can't get out of my head.
"Much as we'd love to help resolve your concern, support issues are way out of our realm."
Combine that with the slides ValleyWag acquired for layoff instructions to managers and one sees the big business actions of this declining corporation.
The Twitters of the employees as they have been given the news and their friends reactions have made this day seem like an industry tragedy - which in the short term it definitely is. Hopefully though some of these people go on to create new companies and products that build on its continued future.

Higher ed advocates focus on retirement benefits
While higher education issues seem hidden behind state gun control and uranium mining discussions at the Capitol so far, professors from VCU and other schools are urging legislators to improve retirement benefits for public university and college employees.
Pushing for more funding for higher education, better faculty retirement options and lower tuition for in-state residents, three groups spearheaded the task of getting their voices heard last week.
Officials from the Faculty Senate of Virginia, the VCU Faculty Senate and the American Association of University Professors met at legislative offices Thursday morning. Their first order of business was to push for educators' retirement benefits.
House Bill 486, sponsored by Delegate Onzlee Ware, D-Roanoke, aims to create better retirement incentives for public higher education employees.
The bill would allow such workers, who currently have optional retirement plans, to opt in to the Virginia Retirement System. Employees who wish to maintain an optional retirement plan, and were hired after July 2010, would be provided between 8.5 and 8.9 percent "creditable compensation" from the commonwealth. All other employees would be entitled to a rate of 10.4 percent creditable compensation from the state.
Creditable compensation constitutes all the salary and wages paid to a full-time, salaried higher education employee as a result of services performed. It also includes payments for compensatory time, severance pay or employer-provided payment for the purchase of service credit in the VRS.
The purpose of HB 486 is to give state employees in the higher education system the opportunity to purchase service credit in the VRS based on accumulated earnings and experience, even if those workers are covered under an optional retirement program.
"Many employees come in untenured, so they have a choice whether they want to participate in an optional retirement plan or the VRS, since optional retirement plans are portable and can be taken to other systems. But if you get here [Virginia] and you realize how great it is, then you might wish that you had signed in to the VRS," said Robert Andrews, organizer of the 2013 Higher Education Advocacy Day.
"The bill makes it so down the road, once [employees] get tenured, they can make a one-time swap to buy equivalent amount of work time in the VRS," said Andrews, a professor in the VCU School of Business and an officer in the VCU Faculty Senate.
"It's certainly revenue neutral, and it's really important for state employees to buy in to this established benefit plan."
In addition to retirement benefits, education lobbyists are also looking to provide financial benefits to educators' families.
Senate Bill 104, introduced by Democratic Sen. John Edwards of Roanoke, would reduce the tuition rate for children of Virginia higher education employees by 50 percent. Currently, state universities and colleges can decide individually whether to waive tuition for their employees' children. SB 104 would ensure that all state institutions implement the reduction immediately.
"Growing up with a mother as a college professor, you really gain a perspective into how valuable higher education is," said junior Alex Wells of George Mason University. "I think that being proactive in the House and Senate really shows that we're committed to the long-term prosperity of prospective students and faculty in Virginia."
Participants in Higher Education Advocacy Day also expressed a need for more state funding to make college tuition more affordable for future students. Members are seeking legislative action to filter more than $200 million for state tuition assistance, as well as more than $2 billion in employer-based financing towards the VRS program.
"We're important in supporting higher education and maintaining credibility against voices on the other side who feel that they don't have any responsibility to contribute to higher education," Andrews said.
"If we don't have competitive institutions that have the financial resources to provide quality faculty members, or opportunities for students to have more feasible access to college, then we inevitably suffer in attracting professional businesses to our state."

Brews and bites done right
Urban Tavern's big, bold themes impress
The Urban Tavern opened in August, replacing the former Shackelford's space at 10498 Ridgefield Parkway in Short Pump. Because of local and longtime devotion to Shackleford's, Urban Tavern has some big shoes to fill.
Without any background information, I headed to the restaurant for dinner on a Wednesday night, two months after its opening.
On a perfect fall evening, four out of eight outdoor tables were taken, giving the impression that the restaurant was busier than it was. On the inside, a couple tables were taken, and a few folks were seated at the bar. > Read more.
A terrible, horrible movie. . . that's actually pretty good
'Alexander' provides uncomplicated family fun
It's not surprising in the least that Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day doesn't much resemble the book it's based upon.
Judith Viorst's 1972 picture book isn't exactly overflowing with movie-worthy material. Boy has bad day. Boy is informed that everyone has bad days sometimes. Then, the back cover.
In the film, the terrible, horrible, no good, very bad-ness is blown up to more extreme size. Alexander Cooper (Ed Oxenbould) has a bum day every day, while the rest of his family (Steve Carell, Jennifer Garner, Dylan Minnette, Kerris Dorsey) exist in a constant bubble of perfection and cheery optimism – to the point that the family is so wrapped up in their own success that Alexander's being ignored.
So on the eve of his 12th birthday, Alexander makes a wish: just once, he'd like his family to see things from his perspective; to experience the crushing disappointment of one of those no good, very bad days. Once he has blown out the candle on his pre-birthday ice cream sundae, his family's fate is sealed: one full day of crippling disasters for all of them. > Read more.

A portal as a connection between to two points that are not contiguous in normal space is a concept exclusive to science fiction.
Actually, the concept of a portal as a connection between non-contiguous spaces existed in Ancient Near East mythology, and more recently, the term has existed in Christian practice in at least two ways. One is the grave as the portal to the next life. The other is the idea of a portal between earth and heaven that opens during prayer and/or worship.

March is Women's History Month and this past Friday, March 8th, was International Women's Day. So, today's post is less about PR and more about women in the workplace overall. There is a lot of talk about Sheryl Sandberg's new book Lean In, which encourages women to lean in more to their ambitions. Sandberg is the COO of Facebook and is ranked on FORTUNE magazine's list of the 50 Most Powerful Women in Business and as one of TIME magazine's 100 Most Influential People in the World. So, basically, she is brilliant and knows a lot about women in the workplace. Her multi-million dollar salary, presumed household help, and good fortune aside, her book was interesting to me because it touched upon a lot of the inequalities between men and women in the workplace and how women are holding themselves back in many ways, oftentimes not even realizing it. Apparently, men and women graduate college at the same rate, but only 16% of women hold top positions or board seats in corporate America. Only 4% of CEOs are women. (Sandberg actually gave a powerful TEDTalk about how few women leaders we have, that I suggest you check out.) As a woman who values my career, I wanted to learn more about how she thinks women can set boundaries and lean in more… I want to share some of her key takeaways with you here:
Women need to sit at the table. What does this mean? Well, women underestimate their capabilities and don't negotiate for themselves in the workplace the way men do. Many women attribute their success to others having helped them get there while men credit themselves. So, women need to sit at the table and own their success more—not on the sidelines.
Make your partner a real partner. This may apply to some and not others. For those it does apply to, it means that partners need to contribute equally at home, particularly with childcare, so that women can lean in to their careers more. Studies show that if men and women both have full time jobs and are equal in the workplace, women will still do 30% more housework and 40% more childcare than their partner. This can be debated every which way, but I think the point here is that women do need help. So whether you are in a relationship or doing it on your own, you are going to need help along the way, and that's okay. Men need it too. We all do.
Don't leave before you leave. According to Sandberg, women who want to have families start leaning back too early—they don't go after the promotion, new project, raise, etc. because they don't see how they can balance both when they do decide to have a family. She says that women need to keep their foot on the gas pedal and keep reaching for opportunities—the time to scale back is when the child arrives or a break is needed, and not a moment before that.
Advocate for your ideas. Believe in them and let them be heard.
Successfully negotiate. Men have no problems negotiating what they think they deserve. Women often feel bad or like they are not worth what they are negotiating.There was a mention of how men and women look at job requirements differently. If a man meets about 60% of the job requirements, he will apply. A woman feels like she has to meet 100%. Think about that, ladies!
Women worry too much about being liked. I always say that there is a difference between being aggressive and assertive. You may not always be liked, but you need to be respected, and therefore respectful while still asserting yourself.
Sheryl encourages young women not "get a mentor and you will excel" but instead to "excel and you will get a mentor." Don't look to someone else to set you up for success. Own it yourself and the mentor will come.
Fear is at the root of so many barriers that women face. We have a fear of not being liked, making the wrong decisions, drawing negative attention, overreaching, being judged, failure, and/or that we cannot be both good employees and mothers. We have to overcome these fears, which can paralyze us and hold us back.
Abandon the "women can have it all" myth. This becomes a heated topic. I think a lot of women feel like they have to sacrifice work for family or family for work, unless they are very fortunate, and even the fortunate ones have to think about this choice. I think if women realize that it is a constant push-pull, give-take situation, then they won't be so let down. There are times when you will have to choose work or have to choose family, and that is okay. Easy, no. We can have it all, just maybe not all at once, but "having it all" means different things to different women as well and doesn't necessarily have to constitute career and children.
I share all of this with you because we have come a very long way, but there is still work to be done. I am lucky that I work in an industry where I see so many powerful women who are wonderful role models and mentors, and are sitting in the driver's seat of their lives. My only hope for all of you is that you feel empowered enough to "lean in" and go for it too. As one powerhouse, triple threat of a woman once said: Who runs the world? Girls!

Re: LOSE THE BACK UP SINGERS#8592 3 years, 6 months agoI love the back up singers. I thin they add a dimension to the vocals that most post-GD bands lacked. Lets face it, Phils vocals are rough, Bobbys are killer at times, and JKs prob got the best. I think the singers really allow harmonies and what not to occur.
Now, if they wrent there, I still thinkl the music would rock, but there be something missing from the vocals.

Re: LOSE THE BACK UP SINGERS#8649 3 years, 6 months agoJust to weigh in, I think the the singers fill in the sound nicely.
Phil sings well (I think) on the things he sings, but benefits from the background fill. So does Bob. I personally think that part of the reason these guys like this band is that the vocals are distributed. Let's face it, they are not 20, 30, or 40, and have spent- especially Bob - decades fronting vocals. Having some harmony behind them is both a nice touch musically and probably makes for a more gentle evening for them (and thus for US).
Not all change is good, but a lot of it actually IS.

Re: LOSE THE BACK UP SINGERS#8651 3 years, 6 months agoI really like the back-up singers. I have a disc of GD songs done by Reggae artists, and I think it's Marcia Ball that does Row Jimmy so very beautifully. I'd like to hear Sunshine sing that one, reggae style.

NORTH PORT, Fla. - The Sarasota County Sheriff's Office is investigating a North Port Police Officer-involved shooting that happened last night near Toledo Blade Blvd.
The occupant of a suspicious vehicle, whose name has not yet been released, was pronounced dead at the hospital after Officer Aaron Nick called out "shots fired."
Just before 11:00 p.m., Officer Nick responded to the suspicious vehicle (a white minivan) approximately half a mile north of I-I-75. A minute after his arrival, Officer Nick called out "shots fired" and additional officers were dispatched and responding to the area.
Investigators believe the suspect brandished a weapon. The officer was not injured.
As is standard procedure, Officer Nick was placed on administrative leave with pay.
The investigation is ongoing.

A season that opened on the brink of disaster now sits on the cusp of a triumphant turn about. Charles Mann scored 22 points and added 10 rebounds for his first double-double and Kenny Gaines went 6 of 7 from behind the arc, adding 21, as Georgia rolled over LSU 69-61 at the Maravich Assembly Center Saturday to stalemate Kentucky for a piece of second place in the Southeastern Conference Standings and the third seed in the SEC Tourney.
With the third seed the hard charging Bulldogs claim a double-bye and need only one Tournament win to land in the SEC semi-finals.
The historical significance of the Dawgs' achievement can not be minimized. Not since 1990, when Georgia won the SEC championship with a 13-5 mark, has a Bulldog team earned this high a finish. Even more remarkable, this Bulldog team competed the entire season exclusively with sophomores and freshman in the backcourt and at the small forward position.
"I'm really proud of our kids," said Georgia coach Mark Fox. "I thought we came with a determined look about them on this trip. We talked about that before we ever left Athens. We didn't want to rely on someone else to help us out. Let's go play well and win this game."
The Dawgs took control of the game in the second half on a 9 – 0 opening run which began with a short Nemi Djurisic banker at the 15:57 mark for a 40-35 Georgia lead. After an LSU miss, Gaines connected from beyond the arc for an 8-point lead. Djurisic followed on Georgia's next two trips with layups, the latter with 14:04 left, for a 47-35 lead. The Bulldogs shot 48 percent for the game, 60 percent from 3-point range, and outrebounded the Tigers 37-29. They committed 16 turnovers for the game but only three in the second period.
"We knew the stakes coming into this game," Fox said. "We're smart enough to know what was at stake today. But I think what's important for us is that we play Friday. As we get ready to play that game, no matter who it's going to be against or when it is, we stay focused on that one particular game."
Georgia is now 18-12 overall and 12-6 in SEC play. It was Georgia's fourth SEC road win this year and Georgia's first win in Baton Rouge since 2002.
The Bulldogs are three wins from rewarding their lone senior, Donte Williams, with an SEC Title and a trip to the NCAA Tournament.

Best Sandwiches in Toronto!!! Where are they?
Where are the good sandwich places in Toronto? Montreal and New York have great diners and delis where you can get great sandwiches, are their any great places to find corned beef, roast beef, pastrami sandwiches etc..
Halina's Deli (Annette & Jane) has great sandwiches. I had a meatloaf sandwich there in November 2005 that I'm still dreaming about. The roast beef is really good, too. But the food is take-out only.
Black Camel has yummy pulled pork and brisket. I had a nice juicy chicken sandie with avocado in a warm pita at Gayley's. There's always the peameal bacon classic in St. Lawrence Mrkt. And some swear by California Sandwiches and Vietnamese subs from various joints. The sweet breakfast Chocolate Elvis sandwich at Okay Okay is killer.
re: millygirl
My Favourites are Zupa or Yitz's
re: millygirl
Yes, but I can't compare, since I had never been there before. But from what I could tell, the menu was just the same.
I had the jerk chicken and fried plantain sandwich yesterday at Irie (Queen/Tecumseth) and it was delicious!
re: dinin and dishin
I second the Sandwich Box. They have 2 locations downtown.
re: dinin and dishin
Second. Just an update, Sandwich Box is opening a new location at Yonge and Eglinton.
Try the panini at Cafe 260 - it's at 260 Richmond. A wonderful find. I like bacon, cheddar, tomato and artichokes... but they'll do what you ask. Service and atmosphere both very good. Free WIFI. Enjoy.
Some of my fav's:
- Smoked meat at Centre St Deli (doesn't compare to Katz's in NYC, but the best in TO)
- Chicken & eggplant at Mustachio's in the St Lawrence Mkt
- As someone else mentioned, Sandwich Box for gourmet type sandwiches
- Burrito Boys or Quesada for burrito sandwiches (ok, it's not truly a sandwich, but close enough and damn good! :)
re: SMOG
I second most of SMOG's recs. Just had a smoked meat at Centre St. today. As good as ever. No, not Katz's, but the best in the GTA>
Love Mustachio's as well, but favor the Veal and Eggplant.
Like Burrito Boyz a lot, mainly for the Halibut.
Another favorite is Brick St. Bakery in the Distillert District. Their "Boxing Day" sandwich (Roast Turkey, Dressing, Cranberry Sauce) is a winner.
re: rsvp7777
fish sandwich shoppe (on college)...I actually have their number in my cell phone!!
sandwich box on richmond or on queen....
re: domesticgodess
There's another place that's exactly the same as Sandwich Box, but it's in Commerce Court and thus only a lunch place Mon-Fri. It's called Fast Fresh Foods. And directly across from it, just opened up Petit Fours, which is even more upscale. I haven't tried it yet, but heard it's great.
re: domesticgodess
Oh yeah! The Fish House! I had forgotten about them. What do you usually get?
Brick Street Bakery's sandwiches are amazing. Great bread and interesting fillings!
Buster's Sea Cove in the back of the St. Lawrence market has an amazing grilled tilapia sandwich.
Otherwise, I'm with the other posters, Sandwich Box, Center St. Deli and Black Camel are great.
re: KevinB
This place is delicious for a 24 hour place, but i found them really cheap on the veal. all i got was a small thin piece of veal between a huge yummy bun and sauce.
also love brick street, and the eggplant on foccacia at mustachios.
re: jayseeca
Really sorry to hear that; whenever I think they're skimping on the meat, I just ask can I get a bigger piece, and they almost always oblige. Of course, it's usually young ladies, and I wink at them; somehow that seems to help.
Just thought of one more. The steak sandwich at Dante's is great. Very tender beef on a bun with their tomato sauce, then you get to choose limitless toppings including onions, mushrooms, peppers, etc. It's massive!
I always like grabbing a sandwich with their soup at the Sen5es bakery at Yonge and Queen (esp since it's only a short walk from where i live!). I recently had the butternut squash soup with braised beef short ribs sandwich and it was delish!
re: gsjameson
Pancers for machine cut, Centre Street Deli for 'hand cut' and agree with the above "Vinnie's Panini" but we still go to Commisso every now and then...........the Western" at Superior on Queen Street East when I'm in the St. Mike's area!.......Love 'em all!
My favourite Italian sandwich is at Trezzano Bakery, SW corner of Wilson and Dufferin, just north of Yorkdale Mall. The house-made sausage with sauce, some sweet and some hot peppers is my idea of nirvana.
Also, there is a great Baltic bakery on Mt. Pleasant, south of Eglinton called, Hillside. They bake their own breads and make very generous, delicious sandwiches for a very reasonable price.

These are dolls found through excavations of old privies…really! Now housed in the City Museum, St. Louis MO, as an exhibit. What can we learn about a community by its public waste receptacles? It turns out quite a lot! From what types of commodities were consumed (and discarded), to things like what diseases were rampant at what time (based upon findings of medicine bottles, old syringes, and other medical devices).

98% of patients lost weight using
HALSAmd's program.*
(*Dr. Murphy 2013 results of patient data)
The average patient lost 28 pounds and maintained the weight loss for an extended period of time, making HALSAmd
5X's more effective than the
leading national program*
(JAMA 293 :43-53 Dansinger ML Comparison of the Atkins, Ornish, Weight Watchers,
and Zone Diets for Weight Loss A Randomized Trial)
After patients began losing weight, they saw an improvement in their health. Many reported having more energy, less fatigue and pain.
30% of patients with an obesity
related disease experience remission
during the 12 week program.*
(*Dr. Murphy 2013 results of patient data)
The HALSAmd program is a medically designed program. We are a non-surgical, medical weight loss program.. It focuses on the underlying cellular problems that prevent weight loss. HALSAmd is comprehensive and addresses diet, behavior and lifestyle, exercise, medical issues that can contribute to weight gain, and prescription medications. We provide weekly appointments to monitor and adjust the plan for each patient at each visit. We want to know how you are doing, feeling and where are you struggling. Our success lies in our understanding of the metabolism and how that affects weight gain. Learn more.

OPP: Friend's Crappy Kids
by Slacker And Steve
posted Mar 13 2014 4:19PM
Today's OPP is from Rachel
Yi! My best friend has 2 bratty kids and she likes to just drop by unexpectedly. Her kids jump on my couch, terrorize my dogs, destroy my house, etc. She tells them to stop after I say something to them, but she isn't firm and they don't listen to her. It seems like she comes to my house to get a "break" from her husband and kids while they destroy the happiness of my family. She is a very good friend and I want to stay friends with her but her kids make my family and I miserable. I don't even go out in public with them anymore because I'm so embarrassed by those kids. She has 2 kids and I have 4 and even my kids are embarrassed. What do I do?
Slacker says his kids misbehave in his house but not in others. He thinks it's disrespectful for kids to run wild in someone else's house. He thinks you can absolutely tell someone else's kids to quit messing around if it's in his house and not theirs. He thinks she should tell the neighbor not to come over anymore if her kids will disrespect her house like that.
Steve thinks you have to ask the parents for permission to scold their kids in your house. He thinks she has to speak up and tell the neighbor not to come over until the kids can behave. He thinks it's wrong that the neighbor lets her kids use Rachel's home as a bouncy castle/playroom.
Should she confront her neighbor's kids? If yes how so?
I think she needs to confront her neighbor and tell her she's isn't welcome in their house until her children know how to respect their family and home.

UCLA Defensive Coordinator Jeff Ulbrich is one tough football dude. Kind of like the Wu-Tang Clan, Coach Ulbrich ain't nothing to… well, you know. That is why he is perfect to take over the UCLA defense in the wake of former DC Lou Spanos taking a position as a linebackers coach in the NFL (good luck and godspeed, Spanos). But now Ulbrich has control over the defense, a defense he knows all too well and is very, very good. He also does not like to lose, which is what you want in a coach, even in games that mean no more than a pick-up basketball game…
#UCLA DC Jeff Ulbrich talking about losing the spring game. Too priceless not to watch: https://t.co/9HkDT6uXZ3 — Edward Lewis (@EdwardLewisBSR) April 27, 2014
Starting Out With Mora
This will be the third season Ulbrich calls Westwood home. When Jim Mora was hired to take over the Bruins before the 2012 season, Ulbrich was brought in to handle the linebacker and special teams duties, groups he is familiar with as a professional player and coach. But one of the things that made him stand out is that, just like Mora, he brought energy and fire to his players resulting in some of the best position groups on the UCLA team in the Mora era. According to UCLA's Official release when Ulbrich was hired, Mora had this to say about him:
"I had the pleasure of coaching Jeff for part of his playing career; he was always one of the most dedicated and hard-nosed players on the field. On the day I met him, he told me he wanted to be a coach, and I am proud to help him accomplish that dream."
His dream has not only become a reality, but it has become a nightmare for opposing teams to play against.
"Linebackers U" and Special Teams
UCLA has had an embarrassment of riches in the linebacker department. Ulbrich has had the pleasure of coaching and developing several Bruins like Myles Jack and Eric Kendricks but also helped Anthony Barr and Jordan Zumwalt take their talents to the professional level as both were selected in last month's NFL Draft. To top it off, the Bruins are getting 4-star linebackers Kenny Young, Zach Whitley and 3-star Dwight Williams and Cameron Griffin in the fall. It is no wonder why Penn State fans got all flustered when UCLA declared themselves "Linebacker U". The Bruins were not lying.
#linebackeru pic.twitter.com/psyVu1hswP — UCLA Football (@UCLAFootball) June 17, 2013
As for special teams, well, maybe UCLA should coin the term "Special Teams U". Not catchy, but very effective. Last season, Ulbrich was named the 2013 FootballScoop Special Teams Coordinator of the Year as the Bruins had some of the best performances all season. The Bruins were tied for 10th in nation with 4 blocked kicks and tied for 5th with 2 blocked punts among all NCAA teams. In the Pac-12, UCLA was second in kickoff returns with an average of 24.9 yards, 5th in punt returns with 8.9, 2nd in punting with 39.4 and 3rd in kickoff coverage with 42.0 yards. Ulbrich has made Special Teams exciting.
VIDEO: Blocked punt recovered by @UCLAFootball and run in for a TD, via @SnappyTV #gobruins – http://t.co/V3HutswZMa — UCLA Athletics (@UCLAAthletics) September 1, 2013
This Is Now HIS Defense
Mora wanted a 3-4 defense at UCLA, which Spanos was more than happy to provide. Ulbrich continues that vision with his promotion to DC because he knows the defense, the plays and the schemes, which leaves very little drop-off, if any, with the Bruin defense. UCLA has been getting a lot of attention on offense in the media this off-season, but it is their defense that needs to be talked about a lot more. They have tons of talent and should have each of their position groups among the top of the Pac-12.
This is what Ulbrich brings and it is scary… mostly because this is his first year in charge and he has not even coached a single game as DC yet. Despite that, he will continue to have this team ready to go and firing on all cylinders as they attempt to plow through a very difficult Pac-12. It will be hard this coming year, but with this level of talent and coaching, the defense will be dangerous group to tangle with.

Book Description:
Smoking chimneys, Aunt Jemima, streamlined trains, and Trojans have all decorated labels to help sell everything from soup to cigars. More than 300 striking labels feature these images and more--from bathing beauties and cherubic babies to Abraham Lincoln and Peter Pan.When Ralph and Terry Kovel started collecting labels, they learned that every label is an ad and a mystery. A label is designed to catch your eye, entice you to buy, tell you what the product is, why it's wonderful, and even if it's good for you. But if you learn to read clues on a label, it can tell you much more--who made the product, when it was made, and the consumer laws that governed its packaging, as well as the fashions, hairstyles, humor, prejudices, pleasures, and political ideals of the past.The Label Made Me Buy It shows you the clues to look for. Learn the history of brands and companies, trace the methods used by label lithographers, and discover the romance and ingenuity of label designers. You'll also find out what "4011" means on a banana sticker, why grocery boxes are seldom black, and why a grape label picturing a tiger had to explain that the crate did not hold tiger meat.The labels in this book range from salmon and tomato labels of the 1860s to frozen pie labels from the 1970s. The products include tobacco, citrus fruit, candy, firecrackers, fabrics, canned goods, and condoms. Many show mouthwatering images of the foods we love or emotional representations of the childhood we remember.Label collecting has become a hobby of interest not only to collectors, but also artists and historians. Tobacco, citrus fruit, and food labels, firecracker packages, and product stickers are eagerly bought, sold, and traded through organized clubs, auctions, shows, and the internet.This book will help historians understand why a label featured Chief Red Cloud, Joe Cannon, or Penrod--all well-known figures in their day. Old-fashioned food names like "shoepeg corn" or "telephone peas" are explained. An extensive index as well as the locations and working dates of lithographers and food companies are provided.

HI there
Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong as I have steam coming out of my ears trying to create a text path in photoshop.
I am a complete novice it has to be said but basically following a tutorial where I have the pen tool and have it on create a path, I get to the point where I have anchor marks along the curve i want to follow and then hit my text tool and see the 'I' shape with squiggle through it showing a I can start typing. Then it all goes wrong... as soon as I hit my type tool and then click on the line a dot appears and no text will show up... I am going just a bit crazy trying to work out what I'm doing wrong - any 'idiots guide to creating a path' advice very gratefully received!!
At the risk of being no help whatsoever . . . !
I've never created a 'text path,' although I think I know what you mean.
I have however, included text as a part of an image.
Sometimes, if you're using a very large image and the size of the text is very small, I think that it defaults to about 6pt. or something, the text is too small to see and it can appear that you're typing yet nothing is happening.
Try increasing the size of the text perhaps?
Make it outrageously large to begin with and see if you can see that.
Just an idea.
I have just done what you are trying to do with no problems.
Open image, pen tool, make path any old how. Open text tool click on beginning of path...type.
Things to check. Text is not same or near colour to background. Text font size is big enough to show up. On a 2000px width image, for example, 12 point or more.
If you look at the paths palette, you should see two there, one for the path you have made and the other for the text you have typed on it. The layers palette will show 2, one for the background the other for the text.
Thnks Lemmy - beginning to think I have a glitch on system as I can do this with ellipse shape and get text to follow a path of circle but as soon as using pen tool to try & create just a simple curve nothing is happening - think I can work around by just using half of the circle. As an aside do you know how to get the text to fill full circle as halfway round text starts to disappear - I use the path selection tool to move the little marker further and while text does reappear I still only get to a max of about 330degrees rather than 360 degrees?
Thanks for taking time to respond
You can use the Elliptical marquee tool to drag out a selection (Hold down shift while dragging to make a perfect circle).
Now right click on or near the selection and select "Make work path". A box will appear to set a tolerance in pixels. I used 1.0.
Now use the text tool as normal. Using this method I got the text to wrap 360 degrees.
I also found this video by Gavin Hoey that gives some useful tips.

CheckDesktopFiles: /usr/share/applications/nmapfe.desktop says Icon=icon-network must exist, but it does not exist
