Nobody is going to concede anything to Cory Geyer at the Class 4A wrestling tournament.
That's just the way Geyer wants it.
Geyer, the top wrestler for the Los Alamos Hilltoppers' program for the past two seasons, will be one of the guys to beat in the 152-pound bracket at this weekend's state championship. Geyer is projected to be a top-four seed heading in, but will be tested in what has been one of the toughest weight classes in the state in recent years.
This year appears to be no exception with 10 of the 24 wrestlers entered have lost 10 bouts or less.
The Los Alamos Hilltopper swimming and diving teams will send qualifiers in 18 different events to this weekend's state championship meet.
The state meet gets going Friday and continues through Saturday at the Albuquerque Academy Natatorium. Diving competition starts at 8:30 a.m. Friday and the swimming preliminary heats get going at 3 p.m. Finals for both swimming and diving are Saturday.
For the Hilltopper girls, top swimmer Ashlynn Bennett is scheduled to take part in the two freestyle distance events, while Maria Venneri is Los Alamos' top qualifier in both the 100-yard freestyle and the 100-yard backstroke.
Los Alamos' Laura Wendelberger won the high jump competition at the Great Southwest Indoor Track and Field meet this weekend.
Wendelberger finished the event clearing 5 feet, 1-3/4 inches to win the event.
She was one of 10 competitors from Los Alamos taking part in the indoor meet.
Along with the win in the high jump, Wendelberger also finished third in the 60-meter hurdles (10.28 seconds) and sixth in the long jump (15-4 ¼ feet).
There were seven Hilltoppers who took part in the mile run, one of which was Jordan Parker, who also took part in the 800 meters. Jordan Ahlers competed in the triple jump.
The results for Los Alamos athletes were as follows:
Laura Wendelberger
Heading into next week's District 2-4A tournament, the Los Alamos Hilltopper girls basketball team's playoff fate is still very much up in the air.
The Hilltoppers made their best case Tuesday night, however, thumping the Capital Jaguars at home in their final regular season contest.
Los Alamos held Capital to just two points in the first quarter and nine points in the first half as it rolled to a 51-25 victory at Griffith Gymnasium.
The win put the Hilltoppers at 3-5 in District 2-4A play (12-14 overall) and might have helped it secure an at-large bid for the upcoming state playoffs. But even with the win, the Hilltoppers are hardly a lock to get in into the 16-team field.
Los Alamos' Hayley Each gets a free run into the lane during Wednesday night's game against Santa Fe. Los Alamos will host its final game of the regular season tonight when it hosts Capital. The Hilltoppers will need a win tonight against Capital and some help to move into third place in the District 2-4A standings. Los Alamos has dropped three straight district contests heading into tonight. Prior to the game, the Hilltoppers will honor their seniors.
Here are the results from the District 1 swimming and diving meet, held Friday and Saturday at the Larry R. Walkup Aquatic Center.
Team scores
1. Los Alamos, 421; 2. Taos, 315.5; 3. Santa Fe, 231; 4. St. Michael's 205; 5. Piedra Vista, 194; 6. Farmington, 170.5; 7. Desert Academy, 169; 8. Miyamura, 114; 9. Academy for Technology and the Classics, 10; 10. Gallup, 5.
Individual results
200 medley relay
1. Los Alamos (Maria Venneri, Molly Finn, Ashlynn Bennett, Sydney Schoonover), 2:00.35.
200 freestyle
1. Justine Yang, 2:07.01; 8. Ali Berl, 2:38.74; 11. Catherine Crotzer, 2:44.82; 12. Sierra Veenis, 2:45.98.
Girls basketball: Capital at Los Alamos, C team, 4 p.m.; JV, 5:30 p.m.; varsity, 7 p.m.
Boys basketball: Los Alamos at Capital, C team, 4 p.m.; JV, 5:30 p.m.; varsity, 7 p.m.; West Las Vegas at LAMS, seventh grade, 4 p.m.; eighth grade, 5 p.m.
Boys basketball: Española at LAMS, seventh grade, 4 p.m.; eighth grade, 5 p.m.
Wrestling: 4A championship meet, 10 a.m.
Diving: State championship meet, 8:30 a.m.
Swimming: State championship preliminaries, 3 p.m.
Diving: State championship meet, 8:15 a.m.
It was a big night for the seniors on the Los Alamos Hilltopper boys basketball team in more ways than one.
In the home season finale for the Hilltoppers, they put together one of their best team showings of the year and did so against their arch-rival, the Española Valley Sundevils.
Los Alamos made key buckets during a big second quarter push that propelled it to a 56-45 win against Española Valley Friday night at Griffith Gymnasium.
It was Senior Night for the Hilltoppers, but the team got contributions from seniors and underclassmen alike. Senior guard Nate Carver dropped in 17 points while sophomore Franklin Archuleta added five points during a 16-4 Los Alamos scoring run in the second quarter.
Both the Los Alamos Hilltopper boys and girls swimming teams picked up big victories at this weekend's District 1 championship meet.
Los Alamos' boys scored 421.5 points to earn the win at the district meet, held at the Larry R. Walkup Aquatic Center, while the Hilltopper girls finished with a total of 421 points.
Taos finished second in the girls competition with 315.5 points, while St. Michael's boys finished as the meet runner-up with 321 points.
The Hilltopper teams will now advance to the state championship meet, which starts Friday and continues through Saturday. This weekend, the Hilltopper swimmers and divers picked up 17 more state qualifying marks, nine of those coming on the boys side.
SANTA FE — Inside the wrestling room at the Pueblo Complex, a banner hangs from the wall. The banner is 17 years old and has stood alone for a long time.
"We've been pointing at that banner every day for a month now," Los Alamos head coach Bob Geyer said, to remind the team that it hadn't earned a district title since 1995. "We told (our guys), 'if you want one, you'd better wrestle.'"
Now, that banner will have some company.
The Hilltoppers earned a 2-4A title Saturday at Toby Roybal Memorial Gymnasium. They finished with 156 team points, 23 points better than co-runners up Santa Fe and Bernalillo.

Although I might not be fond of having children (at least not yet) I am fond of good design and this contraption from the Netherlands is just that. Escorting your children in safety and by a sustainable means is the key to modern transport. If we could get rid of the fat, fuel guzzling, smog pumping, street cloggers that are used to take kids to school then I am all for it. This I believe to be a giant leap towards something that can be used as a 'true' viable alternative to taking the car or the bus to do those little chores.

Employers National Insurance should be completely scrapped because it is an unfair tax on recruiting people which is holding back business growth, said David Spencer-Percival, founder of Spencer Ogden recruitment firm.
Spencer-Percival, whose firm has 304 employees, said the Chancellor's move to scrap national insurance for young people under 21 did not go nearly far enough.
He said: "Every time you hire someone you have to pay national insurance and I just think it is totally wrong. Our salary bill is now £1 million a month - and on top of that we have to pay £138,000 in national insurance. That is an awful lot of money that we are paying to the government which I am not able to invest in my business. I am very angry about it."
He added: "If I wasn't paying national insurance I could have hired another 70 graduates a year, who would have all paid income tax and their own national insurance. It is a tax on employing people and is so unfair, especially for people trying to grow businesses. The government should be paying me to take on graduates, not the other way round. It is so frustrating."
Spencer-Percival, who started his recruitment business in 2010 and now has a turnover of £50 million. He said: "I am a big fan of tax. I have paid tax all my life and I have never tried to avoid it. Someone has to pay for the schools, social care and the army. Tax is sensible at the right level and right for society. But employers national Insurance just seems so counter-productive to growing an economy - when the government are really trying hard to get out of a recession, they are charging you so heavily to hire people. It is horrible and unnecessary."
He said that at the very least, national insurance should be tied to the state of the economy, so that it falls during times of recession and only rises when the economy is buoyant.
He said: "To get the economy going you have got to hire people and you have got to build businesses, therefore national insurance should be very low during those times of low GDP."
Spencer-Percival warned that the high cost of national insurance was driving employers to avoid paying it altogether by hiring workers on contracts rather than as direct employees. Employers do not need to pay national insurance when hiring a contract worker.
He said: "I constantly get calls from companies offering schemes to put employees on contracts. One of my competitors now employs people on contracts so he is avoiding paying national insurance. That gives him a competitive advantage over me because he has more cash than I do to hire more people and grow his business quicker. The problem is that contract workers have far fewer employment rights and far less job security. National insurance is having a very negative effect."

Who wants to tear up the road? Your four year old (and older children too) will with the Bruder Cat Motor Grader! Better have the hard hat ready when delivery is made of the CATERPILLAR-type motor grader with leveling blade that can be moved and detached. This replica (scale 1:16) of the real thing has actual functions that will keep kids busy outside in the dirt or inside on the carpet. Check out the movable two-sided height-adjustable leveling blade in the middle, and height-adjustable, lockable, detachable road raker. The chassis has a steerable off-road (of course kids should stay out of the road) full floating axle, steerable off-road front axle, and tread tires. Steering can be accomplished with the front red rotary knob (but manually pushing it will suffice). And if that is all too gear-headed sounding for you, just know this is an award winning toy, having received the Spiel Gut Award. And yes you will likely have to look that up at speilgut.org , as this writer did. German toy awards aside, this is a solid toy for the rowdiest of your crew.

COPENHAGEN, April 20 /PRNewswire/ -- Santaris Pharma announced today promising findings on the in vitro and in vivo activity of microRNA-targeted therapeutics against cancer developed on the basis of its proprietary Locked Nucleic Acid (LNA) Drug Platform. In both in vitro and in vivo models Santaris Pharma's cancer targeted LNA-antimiR(R)'s demonstrated outstanding recognition and inhibition of disease-associated microRNAs due to their high specificity and affinity. The findings were presented this week at the AACR Meeting in Colorado at a symposium on microRNAs and human cancer.

"Santaris Pharma has made significant progress in advancing a rich pipeline of clinical and preclinical drug candidates targeting disease related RNAs, including microRNAs," said Henrik 0rum, Santaris Pharma's Chief Scientific Officer. "These results are another demonstration of the fact that our small, single-stranded oligonucleotides have great potential in relation to the development of microRNA targeting therapeutics within a range of disease areas."
Santaris Pharma is a leader within microRNA research and is collaborating with scientists world-wide to exploit the advantages of the LNA chemistry to design and develop effective and safe antimiRs against a broad range of diseases, including cancer.

Briefly: New Prince of Persia for iOS, Feedly "over capacity" fix soon
updated 11:54 am EDT, Fri July 5, 2013
Prince of Persia The Shadow and the Flame coming to mobile devices later this month
Ubisoft has announced that it will be releasing Prince of Persia The Shadow and the Flame on mobile devices later this month. Leading up to the July 25th launch, Ubisoft will be running giveaways on Twitter every Wednesday, as well as showing some exclusive game content on its official Facebook page. At launch The Shadow and the Flame will cost $3 and will be available simultaneously on the App Store and Google Play.
Fix for Feedly over capacity issue on its way
Through a new blog post, Feedly has stated that it is working on a fix for the "over capacity" issue that users began to experience earlier this week. The error is a result of a change made by Google, which now returns HTML instead of JSON following Google Reader's shutdown. A fix for the issue is included in version 16.1 of the iOS app which has already been submitted to Apple fro review. In the meantime, Feedly suggests trying out apps with Feedly integration, such as Reeder, Newsify, and Byline.

Oil Leak in Cooler Tube
Hello all, hope someone can help out. Tried to start her up in fairly cold weather while the oil was viscous, and an oil leak started on a tube on the driver's side of the engine. I believe this tube is the oil cooler. The leak is not where this tube attaches to the engine block, but rather in the middle of the tube where there appears to be an o-ring or some kind of compression washer to maintain the seal. The oil cooler tube is held on by some bolts with 10 mm heads, and the torque on these suckers in incredibly tight! I'm working in about 32 degrees outside, and i'm worried about shearing them off.
My questions are 1: Is this an oil cooler tube and is removing it the right way to go about fixing the o-ring leak? 2: What is the torque spec on these bolts and is there an easier way other than PB Blaster and patience? 3: Has anyone seen this before, and if so are there any helpful tips you can offer?
Thanks in advance, any help is appreciated.
Same problem here, my 95 is leaking too, havent pulled it apart yet, but the tube is the oil cooler, and I bought the 2 sets of O rings, from Ford. There is an inner and outer set, ones green, others purple. I am thinking its held together with the O ring tension between the metal tube and aluminum brackets, so you will probably have to unbolt from the water pump, and the block, so you can put it in a press. This may not all be correct, but hopefully someone else will chime in so I will know how to do it when I have time to.

Possible bug in recurring task 'every 25' format
Hi there,
I am using Todoist and love it. I have it synced/subscribed to the iCal calendar on my Mac, running OSX 10.9 through iCloud. Everything seems to be working well except that when I enter a recurring task in either the desktop app or the web home of Todoist in the format 'ev 25' or 'every 25' with the intent of the task recurring on the 25th of every month , I get 50 duplicates of that task in iCal on my Mac, as well as on my iPhone. If I change the recurring syntax to 'every month starting Dec 25' I don't get the same duplication (although obviously the task won't always fall exactly on the 25th). Thanks.
All responses
Hello Kathy,
Unfortunately, I can't reproduce this issue, but we're aware of certain problems with our iCal feed (which may be related) and we're working on them.
Please try to remove and re-add the iCal feed to your calendar and see if it helps.
Best regards,

Im struck not only by the polar oppositeness of the two different presentations of jasmine, but also by the alliterative similarity of the names: Fracas => Fragile. Fragile is a softer, more modern Fracas. Personally, Im such a fan of Fracas that I find this a a bit of a bore, but it is very good interpretation and it is nicely put together. Its modernness has a definite appeal and is creatively impressive. If you want TUBEROSE, get Fracas
if you want tuberose petite with a more modern bite, Fragile is certainly more than good enough to merit investigation.

Pebble's new round watch is so thin it doesn't even seem like a smartwatch. We tried it and on talked to the CEO about how it's different.
The carrier's decision not to introduce the Xperia Z4v is a big blow to Sony, which has struggled to break into the US market with its smartphones.
Pebble's step-up all-steel smartwatch has added battery life and a more durable feel, but it's basically a tiny upgrade to the less expensive Pebble Time.

Jeffersontown is hoping to replace this fencing that surrounds property in Bluegrass Commerce Park owned by Louisville Water Co., which used to have a water tower there, with a more aesthetically pleasing aluminum fence that looks like wrought iron.
- Filed Under
Bluegrass Commerce Park in Jeffersontown isn't ready for the new businesses a proposed tax break is meant to bring in, several City Council members say.
They say infrastructure improvements are needed in the the industrial park - such as repaving roads and replacing damaged sidewalks. They also say restrictions included in the proposal - such as the type of companies that would qualify for the incentive - need to be widened for new and expanding businesses to receive the most benefit.
But Mayor Bill Dieruf, who proposed the tax incentive, said the city already is in the process of spending ...

This week on FCDallas.com you're going to be getting a healthy dose of what we call the USSDA Playoffs, so I thought it'd be effective to give everyone a primer on the event that will be filling up the FC Dallas Complex fields for the next five days.
The US Soccer Development Academy is the national league that consists of an under-18 and under-16 league including all the MLS academies as dozens of others, with 80 teams in total. The top 32 teams out of those 80 have qualified for the playoffs which take on the form of eight groups with four teams in each group drawn by national seeding(I.E. seeds 1-8, 8-16,17-24, 25-32). The winners of each group move on to the Development Academy Finals Week played in Houston in mid-July.
In all, a staggering 125 games will be played at the stadium complex in the next five days as every playoff game plus a number of showcase games featuring non-playoff teams will be played. The games start at 5PM on Monday and will be in the evenings on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday while morning games will be played on Thursday and Friday.
For FC Dallas, this week is a huge one as both the U-18 and U-16 teams have real chances to advance to Finals Week. The U-18's just missed out on a top seed finishing 10th overall and their draw includes the Columbus Crew, Concorde Fire and Albertson SC. The U-16's finished as the #2 overall national seed and will play Sockers FC, FC Delco and Real Salt Lake-AZ during playoffs week.
Admission is completely free to every game and even if you can only make it out for an hour, you really should come up to the complex at some point this week to see the USSDA playoff juggernaut in action while cheering on the future FC Dallas first team stars.

After a brilliant game against Portland which saw him record seven saves, it's no surprise that Raul Fernandez is nominated for Mlssoccer.com's Save of the Week. Fernandez's save in the 39th minute earned the nod. Voting is open until Thursday at 11:59 pm pacific time. Fernandez was also named the #1 performer of the week in the Top 3 Performers for week 16.
Further recognition rolled in for Raul who was also named to MLS' Team of the Week, alongside Zach Loyd, who had a solid defensive effort against Portland in addition to a goal against Houston in Open Cup action. Here's what Nicholas Rosano had to say about the duo:
GK: Raúl Fernández (FC Dallas) –Dallas may have lost in Portland,dropping a 1-0 result, but it would have been much worse had the Peruvian 'keeper not made a string of ridiculous saves worthy of any highlight reel.
DF: Zach Loyd (FC Dallas) – Just ahead of Fernández, the right back did the best out of any of Dallas' defenders on the night on both sides of the ball, frustrating Portland out wide for long stretches of the game and getting forward to good effect.
David Ferreira got some attention for his performance on Saturday, as well. The midfielder came in at number 16 on the weekly Castrol Index Top 20, his second time making the list this season.

This week's power rankings results were not too positive for FC Dallas following a loss to Portland on the road. All but one of the weekly rankings moved the team down at least one spot, but the team stil remains in everyone's top five. FC Dallas has a chance to bounce back with a home match Saturday against Sporting KC.
Soccer America moved Portland to the top, dropping FC Dallas one spot to number three.
Even by the stratospheric standards of Jeld-Wen Field, the roars and celebrations that saluted Nagbe's strike in the 53rd minute skewed off the scale. Rival keepers Donovan Ricketts and Raul Fernandez each had seven saves and FCD, even without Panama striker Blas Perez, could well have departed with a tie. This game showcased the league nicely to an ESPN audience that had just seen Brazil thump Japan in the Confederations Cup.
Yahoo Sports left FC Dallas at number two and had some encouraging words:
They're atop the overall league standings and they won't always be without their key front man. Dallas are going to be just fine.
FC Dallas dropped just one spot to #3 according to mlssoccer.com:
Lost, and were outclassed. But thanks to another spectacular performance from Raúl Fernández, they had a legit chance at a point up until the final whistle. Very impressive, especially considering they were without all three of their target forwards.
ESPN FC dropped FCD two spots to number five after the loss:
Injury, international duty and a family emergency for Kenny Cooper all conspired to rob FC Dallas of any striking threat, yet Schellas Hyndman's side still made a game of it in Portland only to fall 1-0. Raul Fernandez put on a goalkeeping clinic.
ProSoccerTalk switched FC Dallas and Portland, moving FCD to number two:.
The team has three top-shelf strikers, but circumstance conspired to keep all three off the field for most of the 1-0 loss to Portland.
As two FC Dallas Academy alumni on the boys side get ready to represent their country at the FIFA Under-20 World Cup, one of FCD's most talented young female players is just starting out her youth national team career.
Midfielder Abby-Grace Cooper, a member of Matt Grubb's under-15 FC Dallas ECNL squad, recently wrapped up a week with head coach April Kater's US Under-14 Girls National Team. Cooper was called up for the eight-day camp, the first for this youngest group of youth national teamers, and she couldn't have been more excited to make the squad/
"I was surprised but in an excited way," said Cooper. "I have worked very hard and I think I deserved the chance. I just didn't expect it to be in the early part of the year."
Just at the start of her budding youth national team career, Cooper says these camps show her exactly the level she needs to attain to represent her country.
"It raises my game, because it gives me a look into the top level of play in the country," said Cooper. "It gives me bench marks to work at and bring back to my club. I learned that if you have the skill that's great, but if you don't have the passion and drive you will not go very far. I do know that I have the passion and the desire to work hard toward the goal of the US National Team."
FC Dallas may have lost a heartbreaker in Portland on Saturday, but Raul Fernandez had another amazing game in the goal with seven saves. As a result, the nominations and honors are already pouring in for Fernandez who leads MLS goalkeepers in saves this season.
It's only Monday, but Fernandez has already been nominated for MLSsoccer.com's Top 3 Performers of the Week and El Latino de la Jornada for Week 16. Voting for Top 3 closes tonight at 7:00 and El Latino de la Jornada voting will remain open until the end of the day Thursday. Make sure to vote Raul!
This past Saturday, FC Dallas hosted the 3rd annual 3v3 Heat Tournament at the fields of the FC Dallas Stadium Complex. Participant age groups ranged from U8-U10 on the girls' side and U8-U15 on the boys' side, as well as an adult division. The tournament hosted 57 teams, a 25 percent increase from last year's 42 teams, according to tournament director Jesse McNeil.
The day started with each team playing three games against the other teams, with the best records in each division advancing to the playoffs. Each division crowned a champion. It was a long day, but all of the teams enjoyed the tournament, with many saying they look forward to participating in next year's tournament.
"We had a great time. It was well run, Jessie did a great job organizing it and we had a blast," Alan Beanie, coach of the winning Azzuri team, said, "We definitely would do it again."
Participants of all age groups agreed on the success of the tournament, and in general, enjoyed the tournament.
"I loved this tournament. It's a great way to spend time with your teammates and get to know each other better and it's always fun to do these tournaments," Johan Gomez, a participant in the tournament, said.
Full match highlights from FC Dallas' 1-0 road loss to the Portland Timbers.
SAVE: Raul Fernandez scrambles to keep the match level.
SAVE: Fernandez comes up big again on Will Johnson.
SAVE: Jackson tests Donovan Ricketts with a powerful shot.
GOAL: Darlington Nagbe's no-look turning shot beats Fernandez.
SAVE: Fernandez pushes Diego Valeri's attempt over the crossbar.

Twenty-two states plus Washington, DC, and Puerto Rico have now passed smoke-free laws that include restaurants and bars. The states are Arizona, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Hawaii, Illinois, Maine, Maryland (Feb. 1, 2008), Massachusetts, Minnesota, Montana (extends to bars Sept. 1, 2009), New Hampshire, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, Ohio, Oregon (Jan. 1, 2009), Rhode Island, Utah (extends to bars Jan. 7, 2009), Vermont and Washington.
The need for protection from secondhand smoke in all workplaces and public places has never been clearer. In issuing a groundbreaking report on secondhand smoke in June 2006, U.S. Surgeon General Richard Carmona stated, "The debate is over. The science is clear: Secondhand smoke is not a mere annoyance, but a serious health hazard that causes premature death and disease in children and nonsmoking adults." Secondhand smoke contains more than 4,000 chemicals, including at least 69 carcinogens. The evidence is also clear that smoke-free laws protect health without harming business. As the U.S. Surgeon General concluded, "Evidence from peer-reviewed studies shows that smoke-free policies and regulations do not have an adverse impact on the hospitality industry."

Anyway, I'm looking for recommendations people might have for one or more plugins that will enable me to:
1. Add dynamic content to a sidebar; preferably different content on each page.
2. Add code to each sidebar for general formatting, advertisements, and whatever might be required on that particular sidebar.
Any thoughts would be welcome.

GNOME Font Viewer
editor's review
GNOME Font Viewer is an open source application that allows users to view and browse through all of the installed fonts of their Linux-based operating system. It is compatible with the GNOME desktop environment.
The application has been designed to display an overview of all the installed fonts, supporting all font types (including TTF and OTF). By default, it optimizes screen space usage when its maximized.
Features at a glance
It is one of the most simple applications to use on a computer. It does not provides users with toolbar buttons or any other functionality, such as a built-in search. All it does is to display all the installed fonts under a single window.
It automatically loads all the fonts from the get go, which will take some time if you've installed many fonts. Fonts are listed in alphabetical order, only with capital and lowercase letters, as well as its complete name and style.
Clicking a font will open it in the same window, allowing users to view the usual example of how the font looks like in different sizes, as well as all the supported characters that can be written with them.
In addition, the application's user interface includes a couple of buttons in this mode, allowing users to easily go back to the main screen, as well as to view detailed information about the respective font, such as name, style, type, version, copyright and description.
Another interesting feature is the ability to install a certain font in your Linux system, which means that the application can also be used to view fonts that we've downloaded from the Internet.
Bottom line
All in all, GNOME Font Viewer is an extremely easy to use, yet very useful application for viewing installed fonts, as well as in-depth details about each one. Installing fonts is also possible with this application.

Jersey Shore Recap: Snooki Flaunts Kooka, Jionni Bails
Effing Snooki.
Last night was all about the pint-sized princess, but surprisingly, the car crash that ended last week's episode paled in comparison to what followed.
Effing Snooki.
Last night was all about the pint-sized princess, but surprisingly, the car crash that ended last week's episode paled in comparison to what followed.
Last week, Jersey Shore focused on the aftermath of Mike getting his ass kicked by a wall, and on Snooki's ongoing relationship issues with Jionni.
Amazingly, it was Ron who helped both his co-stars work through their issues. Elsewhere, Pauly and Vinny introduced us to the glory that is FPC.
Jersey Shore's Vinny Guadagnino has signed on to guest star in an episode of the CW's 90210, and incredibly, the reality star will not be playing himself!
Yes, this is like a real acting role.
Fist-pump. Pushups. Chapstick.
We were wondering how Jersey Shore would follow up the most recent episode, in which a wall KO'd The Situation, and well, there you have it.
We profiled the lovely women of Jersey Shore in a Fashion Face-Off earlier today. JWoww is currently OWNING Deena and Snooki according to THG readers. Stunner.
Now, it's time for three of our favorite juiced-up fist-pumpers to show us what they've got. Vinny Guadagnino, Ronnie Magro and Pauly D were all on hand Sunday.
Ronnie and Mike's epic throwdown on Jersey Shore picked up last night in a special Sunday episode before the Video Music Awards. So who won the big fight?
We're gonna say the wall by TKO.
Antics such as Deena's bi-curious robbery are almost par for the course on Jersey Shore. The kind of pent-up rage we saw last night, however? Off the chain!
It was one of the most-hyped events of the entire fourth season, and the culmination of the rage between Ronnie and Mike actually lived up to expectations.
Is Deena Nicole Cortese actually bisexual, or just putting on a show for MTV cameras? Unclear. Did she just pull a robbery on Sitch and Vinny? Quite clear!
That was not a Jersey Shore plot line we saw coming. The exposing of Sitch and Snook's smush session and the Ron-Sam reconciliation, however, felt inevitable.

Wine lovers raise a glass to direct shipping law - 0 Comments
BOSTON — Whether it's pinot noir, merlot, chardonnay or cabernet sauvignon, wine lovers in Massachusetts will soon be able to have some of their favorite bottles shipped straight from the vineyards to their homes.
A provision in the new state budget lifts a long-standing prohibition on direct deliveries from wineries to consumers. It follows a spirited campaign by out-of-state producers and customers that recently received a major endorsement from former New England Patriots quarterback Drew Bledsoe, who operates a winery in Washington state.

Man arrested but not before chugging beer
A man accused of stealing beer insisted on drinking the last of his loot before being handcuffed.
David Philip Miller, 49, of the 6300 block of Radio Road, East Naples, was arrested by Collier County sheriff's deputies Monday.
Employees of the Circle K on Radio Road said they saw Miller walk out with an 18-pack of Busch beer. He then rode off on a brown bike, reports stated.
Deputies found Miller hiding behind a tree farther down Radio Road, drinking a can of the spoils. Miller refused to set the 12-ounce beer down, and instead chugging the last of it before showing the deputy his hands, reports said.
Miller had the 18-pack stashed away in his bike basket, reports show.
Miller was booked and faces charges of petty theft of less than $100. The case cost $18.99.

Friday November 7, 1997
There has never been a film quite like Kasi Lemmons' shimmering "Eve's Bayou." There have been plenty of mood pieces about white Southerners, usually decadent types, and there have been films about hardships of oppressed blacks. But "Eve's Bayou" is virtually unique as a fable about an old Louisiana Creole family living in an antique-filled manor house that's every bit as elegant as a white aristocrat's plantation.
The Batistes are clearly more prosperous than the people of Julie Dash's more stylized "Daughters of the Dust," the film it most closely resembles. As a memory piece of acute psychological insight it is as evocative of time and place as a work by Truman Capote or Tennessee Williams. "Eve's Bayou" is an inspired achievement, with superb cinematography by Amy Vincent, absolutely crucial to the film's success. The same can be said for Terence Blanchard's lovely, languorous score and the impeccable production design by Jeff Howard and costume design by Karyn Wagner. There are no false notes in this fine, venturesome film, one of the year's best.
We witness not a single instance of racial discrimination or bigotry but instead share in a mystical experience of what it means to be a black woman--proud, beautiful, vulnerable yet resilient. You can't improve upon the film's description offered by its distributor, Trimark: "The true topography of 'Eve's Bayou' is a locale somewhere between the material and spiritual worlds, where truth and its perception can change shape, depending on the light of day."
Geographically speaking, the film takes place in a small backwater Louisiana community in the '50s. It unfolds from the point of view of a 10-year-old girl; it is her voice as a woman looking back over the decades that serves as the film's narration. She tells us that the community's name, Eve's Bayou, comes from the name of a slave woman whose medicines saved the life of a white planter, Jean-Louis Batiste, who set her free and gave her land. Our narrator, named Eve in honor of her ancestor, informs us wryly that the original Eve in turn presented Batiste with 16 children.
The present-day head of the family is Dr. Louis Batiste (Samuel L. Jackson), who lives in that gracious old home with his beautiful, glamorous wife Roz (Lynn Whitfield), their 14-year-old daughter Cisely (Meagan Good), Eve (Jurnee Smollett) and 9-year-old son Poe (Jake Smollett) and the proud and proper Gran' Mere (Ethel Ayler). We meet the Batistes during a gala party in their home. Everyone seems to be beaming with happiness but already we have evidence that this impression is misleading, as Louis dances vigorously with a woman who flaunts her lush body outrageously.
Dr. Batiste is a world-class charmer who sincerely loves his wife and family but is a constant philanderer who seems oblivious to the pain he causes his wife--and the daughters who, as worshipful as they are of him, are on the verge of comprehending his infidelity and its impact on their mother and themselves.
In a very real sense "Eve's Bayou" is a gallery of portraits of women. The most vivid is Debbi Morgan as Mozelle, Louis' gorgeous, fiery sister, a self-described "psychic counselor" who can see into the futures of many but was never able to foretell the deaths of her three husbands, something that understandably haunts her.
In contrast to Mozelle is the ferocious local voodoo woman Elzora (Diahann Carroll) whose fortunetelling so scares the already unhappy Roz that she becomes terrified to leave her three children out of her sight. Together, Mozelle and Elzora represent the range of superstition, the mix of Catholicism and Yoruba that persists into modern times.
Carefully observing though not fully understanding all that's going on around her, Eve is coming of age. The key relationship of the film is that between the childless Mozelle and Eve, the child she is determined to protect while strengthening her to deal with whatever life holds for her.
Lemmons not only sees all these people in the round but also understands that human relations can be a "Rashomon"--that truth can seemingly vary depending on the point of view. This shifting view of reality, coupled with the spiritual longings of Lemmons' people, give "Eve's Bayou" a distinctive richness. Lemmons' command of cinematic style, her appreciation of the chimerical aspects of life and her ability to inspire actors to give remarkably faceted portrayals mark "Eve's Bayou" a first film of exceptional promise.
Eve's Bayou, 1997. R, for sexuality and language. A Trimark presentation of a Chubbco/Addis Wechsler production. Writer-director Kasi Lemmons. Producers Caldecott Chubb and Samuel L. Jackson. Executive producers Eli Selden, Nick Wechsler & Julie Silverman Yorn. Cinematographer Amy Vincent. Editor Terilyn A. Shropshire. Costumes Karyn Wagner. Music Terence Blanchard. Production designer Jeff Howard. Art director Adele Plauche. Set decorator Joanne Schmidt. Running time: 1 hour, 39 minutes. Samuel L. Jackson as Dr. Louis Batiste. Lynn Whitfield as Roz Batiste. Debbi Morgan as Mozelle Batiste Delacroix. Jurnee Smollett as Eve Batiste. Diahann Carroll as Elzora.

Dr. Wearden also is spearheading efforts to develop the first totally implantable pediatric VAD in the United States that could be used for longer periods of time than the external pump.
In the development of an implantable pediatric VAD known as PediaFlow, Childrens team is partnering with two pioneers in cardiac support, Harvey S. Borovetz, PhD, deputy director, Artificial Organs and Medical Devices, McGowan Institute for Regenerative Medicine, and chair, Department of Bioengineering, University of Pittsburgh; and James Antaki, professor, Department of Biomedical Engineering, Carnegie Mellon University.
Industry partners in the consortium include Launch Point Technologies (Santa Barbara, Calif.) and WorldHeart Corporation (Salt Lake City).
This project, also funded by the NIH (one of only five centers in the nation to receive NIH funding for such a project), has progressed through an intensive engineering design phase to successful testing in the laboratory. The consortium is entering the final year of the five-year NIH contract to develop the PediaFlow.
Our dream for the PediaFlow which is about the size of a walnut is that it could be totally implanted into a child to support his or her heart until a donor could be located or until the heart function recovers, Dr. Wearden said. The PediaFlow would be magnetically powered and potentially could support a child for as long as six months.
Under the leadership of Victor Morell, MD, chief of Childrens Division of Cardiothoracic Surgery, Childrens Heart Center has established itself as one of the most active and innovative centers in the care of children in heart failure in the country over the last two decades. Childrens ha

Don't Deport Jose Luis Noris, Husband and Father of 2 US Citizen Children!
Update from Jose's wife, Jeresia:
Jose's case was reopened! What they said could not be accomplished has been. Jose has court again on 3/22/12 in Orlando where he hopes to obtain prosecutorial discretion. This would administratively close his pending deportation case, but does not grant his a status change.
However, if this occurs, and pending the implementation of the new process change Obama recently announced, Jose may be able to stay with his family while he attempts to adjust status. The fight is not over but we are winning little by little!
Please keep us in your prayers and share our petition!
Jose is the father of 2 U.S. citizen children with his wife. Their second daughter was born 8 weeks premature and requires constant medical care and the support of both Jose and his wife. If he's deported, he will be separated from them, as well as his wife's 3 older U.S. citizen children, who love and miss him.
Make a call to ICE: 202.732.3000 or 202-732-3100
Sample Script: "Hi, I am calling to ask that the deportation of Jose Luis Noris (A# 099-161-059) be stopped. Jose has lived in the U.S. for the past 10 years and is married to his U.S. citizen wife. They have 2 U.S. citizen children together, one who requires constant medical care. Please don't separate this family. Don't deport Jose."
On December 15th, Jose attended his regular appointment with ICE. However, on this day, he was informed that he must report on January 17th with a copy of his passport and scheduled travel for his deportation back to Mexico. If Jose is deported, he will be separated from his U.S. citizen wife and 2 U.S. citizen children, one of whom requires constant medical attention.
Jose came to the United States in 2001, over ten years ago, and has lived in Georgia ever since. Jose met his wife in 2007 and they had their first child in 2010; a boy who is now 19 months old. The day after ICE agents arrived at the family's home to put Jose on an Order of Supervision, Jose's wife was rushed to the hospital where she delivered their daughter 8 weeks premature. The baby spent 4 weeks in the NICU and requires constant medical visits for her well-being.
Jose meets most of the factors listed in the Morton memo, which should merit a favorable exercise of prosecutorial discretion. Jose is also a wonderful step-father to his wife's 3 older children, who are also U.S. citizens. Jose's deportation will severely impact the lives of 6 American citizens and will force this family to be separated.
I urge you to immediately stop the deportation of Jose Luis Noris (A# 099-161-059).
