Bolland Nets the Big One
BOSTON—Out in the middle of the TD Garden ice late Monday night, Dave Bolland had long been swept up in the celebration that he had helped to ignite and that was still raging around him. He had stripped off his Chicago Blackhawks jersey, exposing his white hockey pads, and he wore a baseball cap on his head and a faraway look on his face, as if the fact that he had scored the goal that won the Stanley Cup was a truth still too wild and dreamlike to believe.
Bolland's goal with 58.3 seconds left in the third period did more than lift the Blackhawks to a 3-2 victory over the Boston Bruins in Game 6 and to their second championship in four years. It capped a dramatic and stunning comeback for the team that had been the NHL's best during this lockout-shortened season. Trailing by a goal, with a Game 7 on Wednesday appearing a foregone conclusion, the Blackhawks scored twice in the final minute-and-a-half. Forward Bryan Bickell tied the game with 1 minute, 16 seconds left, slamming home a deft pass from Jonathan Toews. Seventeen seconds later, defenseman Johnny Oduya's point shot struck the right post and caromed to Bolland in the crease, and he tapped the puck home for the latest game-winning regulation goal in Finals history.
"It was," he said, "a big one."
Patrick Kane, who had notched two goals in the Blackhawks' 3-1 victory in Game 5 and led them with 19 postseason points, won the Conn Smythe Trophy as the playoffs' most valuable player. In Game 6 of the 2010 Finals against the Philadelphia Flyers, Kane had scored in overtime to win Chicago's first Cup since 1961. This time, amid the swirl of backslaps and champagne gulps that followed the Blackhawks' victory Monday, he found himself embraced by actor and Chicago native Jim Belushi and contemplating whether the Blackhawks had matured into a mini-dynasty.
"It's too quick to compare the two" championships, he said. "My head's spinning. I don't know what's been happening the past 20 minutes, to be honest with you, except that you think you're going back for Game 7 and you score two goals to win it in regulation. This team's had that resiliency all year.
"You can't write the script any better. Two times in four years—there's something about this core, I'll tell you. We've got to stay together because I think we can do some special things in the future, too."
There was ample reason for Kane to talk with such pride about what the Blackhawks had done and might yet do. They began the regular season by going 25 games without a regulation loss and finished it with a league-high 77 points, and during their march to the finals they dispatched two fellow Western Conference powers: the Detroit Red Wings, who haven't missed the playoffs since 1990 and have been the NHL's model of consistent excellence, and the defending champion Los Angeles Kings. And though the 2010 Cup ended a 49-year drought for one of the league's esteemed "Original Six" franchises, this one lent another layer of validation to the Blackhawks' remarkable renaissance over the last half-decade.
Entering the 2007-08 season, the Blackhawks had missed the playoffs nine of the 10 previous years. Their home games had been blacked out in their local TV market, and by 2007, attendance had plummeted to an average of fewer than 13,000 fans a game. Now, Chicago is the NHL's premier franchise. It has led the league in attendance each of the last five seasons, and no team has won two Stanley Cups so close together since the Red Wings won back-to-back titles in 1997 and 1998.
"I thought after the first one it couldn't get better. This feels better. This feels a lot better," said team president and chief executive officer, John McDonough, whose arrival in 2007 marked the start of the Blackhawks' turnaround. "I feel proud for our fans—these people six, seven years ago who gave us a chance when we were off the map and games weren't televised. We've had 200-and-some sellouts in a row…they deserve this."
After the Blackhawks had passed around the Cup, as they mingled with family and friends, all around McDonough—the knot of his red necktie loose, his shock of white hair still impeccable—were the signs of the cost that their championship chase had exacted. It was difficult to find a player whose jersey wasn't stained with blood, and that blood had most likely been transferred from the face of forward Andrew Shaw during a postgame hug. Late in the first period Monday, a slap shot by Boston's Shawn Thornton had deflected off Shaw's stick and struck him below the right eye. He didn't miss a shift. "Fortunately they sewed it up pretty quickly," he said, his nine stitches still coated in a Rorschach blot of red a half-hour after the game's end.
But Shaw's bloody eye was small potatoes compared with teammate Marian Hossa, who suited up for Games 4 through 6 even though a disc was pushing against a nerve in his back, causing one of his legs to go numb. And Hossa was a piker next to the Bruins' Patrice Bergeron, who entered Monday already with a broken rib and torn cartilage in his abdomen—then separated his shoulder in Game 6.
"Everything is measured in winning, not participating," Bruins defenseman Andrew Ference had said Monday morning. "That's going to be the measure of happiness for everybody."
Played on ice left soft and slushy by the 100-degree heat outdoors, Game 6 met the standard that Ference had referenced and that the two teams had maintained over their first five games. This was a series that already had seen parts of five overtime periods, and Monday's game seemed headed there as well after Toews scored early in the second period to answer a first-period goal by Boston's Chris Kelly. Then the Bruins' Milan Lucic took a centering pass from David Krejci and beat Blackhawks goaltender Corey Crawford from the low slot with 7:49 left in regulation, and it was natural to think Boston might rally from a three-games-to-two deficit, just as it had done to beat the Vancouver Canucks to win the 2011 Stanley Cup.
But Toews slipped that little pass to Bickel, who stashed it behind Bruins goalie Tuukka Rask, and before the nervous murmur among the 17,565 at TD Garden had subsided, Oduya's shot grazed the skate of teammate Michael Frolik and bounced off the post to Bolland—a 27-year-old center who had never scored more than 19 goals in any of his six NHL seasons, who had missed 18 games this year because of ineffectiveness and injuries, and now given the greatest gifts of his hockey life: an open net, the puck on the blade of his stick, history his for the making.

No prison for faking NYC crane inspections
Posted at: 02/14/2013 6:08 AM
(AP) NEW YORK - A crane inspector will not be going to prison for fabricating inspections of New York City cranes including one that collapsed and killed seven people.
Edward Marquette was sentenced to five years of probation on Wednesday.
He was acquitted last year of all charges related to the deadly crane accident on March 15, 2008. But he was convicted of falsifying records of other inspections.
Marquette was also sentenced to 1,000 hours of community service and fined $5,000.

Former East standout Davis honored by SAC
League's leading rusher earns first-team honors
Published: Wednesday, November 20, 2013 at 7:10 p.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, November 20, 2013 at 7:10 p.m.
Former East Henderson High football standout Shack Davis, now a junior running back at Mars Hill, was named to the All-South Atlantic Conference First Team on Wednesday.
It was the second straight season he achieved the honor.
After finishing last season as the second-highest rusher in the league, Davis rushed for 1,254 yards this year to be the SAC's No. 1 rusher. He now has 2,801 career rushing yards at Mars Hill. He had 1,173 yards his sophomore year and 374 yards his freshman year in limited action.
Headling the First Team Offense was the league's Offensive Player of the Year, Tusculum quarterback Bo Cordell, who finished the year with 3,920 passing yards, which is fifth-best all-time in the conference. This is the second time Cordell has earned player-of-the-year honors.
He led the league with 25 touchdowns through the air and now has 112 career passing touchdowns, making him the all-time leader in the SAC. His average passing yards per game was 356.4, which is the fourth-best mark in Division II football.
The All-SAC First Team defense is led by Lenoir-Rhyne defensive back Michael Green, the league's Defensive Player of the Year. Of Green's league-leading seven interceptions, three came on Nov. 9 in a Lenoir-Rhyne win over Alderson-Broaddus — two of which were returned for touchdowns. Green also added 64 tackles for the Bears, who finished the regular season third in the nation in scoring defense.
Bears coach Mike Houston, a former T.C. Roberson football coach, was named the league's coach of the year for a second straight season.
Lenoir-Rhyne — the SAC regular-season champion — and Newberry both had 11 All-Conference selections, including eight first-team picks for the Bears and seven for Newberry. Fellow NCAA Championship selection Carson-Newman was next with nine, followed by Tusculum and Wingate with seven, Catawba with six, Mars Hill with five and Brevard with three.
The Tornados' three selections were all on the SAC's Second Team — running back Kelvin Jeter, linebacker Michael Gruber and defensive back Jacob McCleary.

Jim Kipp's Man CaveWritten by Elana Scherr on August 30, 2013 Contributors: Dave Rose
You wouldn't think you'd need a big space to build mini engines, but model-motor enthusiast Jim Kipp collects more than pint-sized powerplants. We met Jim when he took apart a Black Widow 1⁄3-scale V8 for the Mar. 2013 issue, and as soon as we saw his Lake Elsinore, California, man-cave, we knew we'd go back to scope out the rest of his collection. Jim kindly invited us and model Megan Belet (mostly Megan) to spend some time looking through his assorted muscle cars, hot rods, miniature machining tools, and racing memorabilia. Along with showcasing his excellent taste in classic gear, Jim's garage also gives him a place to work on his scaled-down engines and host slot-car parties, which he does a few times a year. We're hoping we get an invite to the next one.

Many of the items in Jim's collection were presents from his wife Debra. You need to keep a woman like that happy, so when Debra mentioned that she'd like a rat rod for her 50th birthday, Jim made sure she got the best one in town. So-Cal Speed shop did the build on the '30 Model A, which is powered by a Ford 312ci Y-block. As you can see by the license plate, it may be bare metal, but it's hardly ratty. We doubt Debra complained about the lack of rust.How many times have you talked to an original owner who bemoans their failure to buy the rare color or engine combo when they purchased a car in the muscle-car era? Jim will have no regrets when this '10 Challenger becomes a classic. It's a rare, orange SRT8 with a six-speed.Jim is planning to retrofit this vintage bumper car with a modern quad motor and chassis, similar to the street-legal one featured in Roddin' at Random ("Hot Rod Anything," Sept. '13).When you build mini engines, you need mini tools. Jim has several working, scaled-down machine-shop tools in the garage, including a lathe, a drill press, and a table saw. Some were originally built as sales samples for traveling sales reps."I had one, hung it up, and thought, that looks real cool," says Jim of how he started the collection of RC planes that hover above the shop. Most were built by an older relative, who was happy to see them get a place of honor in the garage when he retired from flying.Nothing like a jam session on a PRS guitar autographed by Carlos Santana, or of course, if you have no musical ability, you could just play with the one-off, bare-metal pedal car built by Long Beach, California, hot rodder Richard Graves.There are several Art Chrisman–built engines in Jim's collection, but this is the only one he'd let you rest a beer on. "It runs," Jim says. "We could use it to shake martinis."Like the Camaro, a car collection needs a woodie. Jim says this '46 Ford is one of his favorite cars to take out. "The woodie shows are so fun, so relaxed. Nobody has their panties in a twist like at other car shows." You might have noticed that Jim has a thing for classic California surf style. The boards lining the wall are from the famous Encinitas, California, Wavecrest Woodies meet. Each year, they auction off a custom surfboard built by a well-known surf shop or shaper, and apparently, each year Jim wins one.
Before the advent of the Discovery Channel, teachers and engineers demonstrated mechanical components with detailed miniatures and cut-away models. Among the most incredible of these are the Hohm driving-school demos. The pistons and valves move, the lights work, and if you press the clutch, you can shift the gears in the transmission. Search "Hohm Model" on YouTube to see videos.Speaking of Art Chrisman motors, Jim has another Chrisman flattie in this '32. Jim says the build was inspired by the paintings of automotive artist Tom Fritz. After So-Cal completed the car, Fritz did several paintings of it, bringing the story full circle. The '34 behind it is also powered-by-Chrisman, this time with a 302 Ford.A collection like this attracts visitors, and Jim has some of his more well-known visitors autograph the side of the slot car dragstrip. "Chip Foose drew that dragster in about two seconds," Jim recalls. Other signatures include Whit Bazemore, John Force, Tommy Ivo, Dale Armstong, Jack Beckman, Bob Fry, and Pete Chapouris. He didn't ask us to sign it. What gives, Jim?You call that a wrench? This is a wrench. Big Bertha here was used in railroad work. Yeah, we were guessing there wasn't much call for that large a bolt in model-engine assembly.The drag-racing collection started with a few pieces purchased at the annual John Force Holiday Car Show. Through that, Jim became friends with Tony Pedregon, and now he's got enough helmets, firesuits, and Funny Car bodies to start his own team. He says that of all the items in the garage, the John Force Funny Car body that is the centerpiece of the slot car track was the most difficult to acquire.Jim says there is one thing that's hard about starting a private museum: "Controlling yourself on what you buy and/or collect, sometimes it turns into a real project," he explains. "One time, I thought it would be nice to have a bowling ball with some flames, OK. I had a friend paint some up. But then I need some cool bowling pins, got those, and then needed a bowling alley to display them on. It can be hard to stop myself." Sounds rough, Jim. Let us know when you're tired of the place, and we'll take over! Hot RodWhen asked if he has a favorite in the collection, Jim barely hesitated before naming the bare-metal Model A. He says it's also the car that gets the most use, but if we were kings of this castle, we'd spend all our time force feeding nitro into the Dale Armstrong–built Hemi in this original '70s Wild Willie Funny Car. It's a '73 Mustang, last raced in 1976.This car attracted all the girls at the photo shoot like it was a Corgi puppy covered in diamonds. It's a '60 Fiat Jolly, body by Karmann Ghia—in case you want to buy one and attract girls. Jim says that if he were stranded on a desert island with only one item from the garage, it would be this car. As he points out, with that grass top, "It's an island car!"

BENSALEM, Pa. -- Charming Shoppes said it would close 240 unprofitable stores in 2011, or nearly 12% of its total outlets, and that more than half of those would be Fashion Bug stores.
The locations were not disclosed.
The company said all 30 of its Catherines Plus Sizes stores in outlet locations would be shuttered over a two-year period.
The store closing news came on the heels of the retailer's announcement it had named interim CEO Anthony M. Romano as president and CEO, replacing James P. Fogarty, who retired in October.
The company, which operates 2,064 stores in 48 states, lost $30.4 million in the fourth quarter, compared with a loss of $28 million in last year's fourth quarter.

I remember watching a movie on TV when I was a kid, so in the mid- to late-80's. I expect it was a Disney movie, as at that age the majority of movies I watched were on the "Sunday Night Disney Movie" special (on ABC, I think).
The movie featured a "teenage" kid who was a robot/android, built by his "father." The kid looked fully human. I seem to recall that when his batteries were running low, he spoke, and likely moved slowly.
The only scene I recall involved him asking a stranger (perhaps after ringing their front door bell?) if he could use their outlet, and they were confused, and showed him to the bathroom.

I am a 270 pound male that would like to lose weight and body fat. I am doing cardio every day twice a day for 45 minutes each session. I am also using weight lifting machines three times a week. Am I doing too much cardio?

If you are doing your cardio in such a way to be burning fat, you're probably not giving your body enough time to recover from each session. I don't know that this will prevent fat loss, but it's certainly not good for your physical fitness.
However, it seems like you may be putting too much focus on the cardio and not enough on the more important component of health & fitness with regards to fat loss: your diet. If you cut out your second 45 minute cardio session each day and dedicate your extra 45 minutes to educating yourself on proper nutrition, you'll be much better off in the long run.
I think that what im about to say was already said before in one of the other answers, but i think there is room for clarification. When you asked if you are doing to much you were basically asking if you are over training, which can lead to hindered weight loss, so then to answer your question we simply need to know if you are over training. In order to determine if you are doing to much you simply need to listen to your body. In some cases you may feel theat your performance is slowing down as in you may not be able to keep up your usual tempo, or with the weightlifting you may find it hard to lift the same 25 pounds you lifted last time. This can happen even if the source of the over training is from the cardio and not the strength training. Another symptom can be your mood. You may find yourself being more irritable. My best suggestion for you is to Google symptoms of over training because you will find several articles that will list almost 10 symptoms that your body is telling you that it's tired.
Hope this was helpful.
How much weight are you losing? How sore are you getting? If you are losing weight, and not too sore, you're not overtraining, and "Total time" is what's important for your goal. (2 x 45 minutes is the same as 90 minutes) If you're getting fatigued, you could be overtraining for your fitness level, and cutting back to an hour total per day spanning all activities should be enough to support weight loss.

Laryngeal and hypopharyngeal cancers are usually found because of signs or symptoms a person is having. Many of these symptoms are more likely to be caused by something other than laryngeal or hypopharyngeal cancer. Still, if you have any of these symptoms, it is very important to have them checked by a doctor. Tests will be needed to see if cancer is causing the symptoms.
Common symptoms include:
- Hoarseness or voice changes – especially when the problem lasts 2 weeks or more
- Sore throat that doesn't go away
- Constant coughing
- Pain when swallowing
- Trouble swallowing
- Ear pain
- Trouble breathing
- Weight loss
- Lump or mass in the neck

(CBS/AP)-- At 28 years old, Mark Zuckerberg had been among the youngest-ever members of world's 40 richest people list. His youthfulness should now give him plenty of time to rejoin the most elite ranks of the uber-rich.
According to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index, Zuckerberg dropped out of the top 40 ranking even before shares of his newly-public company hit a low of $28.84 after trading on Tuesday. He was replaced by Mexican billionaire Luis Carlos Sarmiento.
The Facebook CEO's fortune fell to $14.7 billion today from $16.2 billion on May 25, Bloomberg reports.
Zuckerberg's pocketbook isn't alone in taking a hit. Four of the 20 youngest billionaires in the world can attribute their fortunes to Facebook's success, according to Forbes. In addition to Zuckerberg, Dustin Moskovitz (Facebook's third-ever employee), Sean Parker, and co-founder Eduardo Saverin, all have their billionaire fortunes tied to Facebook's financial health.
Facebook began trading publicly on May 18 following one of the most anticipated stock offerings in history. The stock priced at $38 a day before the company's public debut. The company's market capitalization has since decreased $25 billion in its first seven of trading.
But the launch from far from smooth. The stock's public debut was marred by technical glitches at the Nasdaq Stock Market that delayed trading. And the company, along with the investment banks that led the IPO, is the subject of shareholder lawsuits.
The investors allege that analysts at the the investment banks, including lead underwriter Morgan Stanley (MS), cut their financial forecasts for Facebook just before the IPO and told only a handful of clients. Morgan Stanley has declined to comment. Facebook calls the lawsuits "without merit."

I hate to do this, but I cannot seem to remember/find a particular result that I thought was true. Forgive me if I have some points wrong, since this is the point of my asking.
I thought I remembered that the direct sum of an algebra and its opposite algebra was the universal enveloping algebra.
For a Lie algebra, the opposite Lie algebra is just that with negative bracket. But I don't see why the sum of these should be the universal enveloping algebra of the Lie algebra.
Edit: Qiaochu makes a great point below on the dimension in his comment.
I also don't think this should be true of some associative algebras, i.e. consider an associative algebra and its opposite(assuming the algebra is noncommutative, the opposite algebra is that with reversed multiplication, i.e. $a*b:=ba$), then considering the direct sum of these, it shouldn't be isomorphic to the enveloping algebra of the underlying Lie algebra of $A$, which is isomorphic to $A$.
I thought that I read the result in Dixmier, but I can't seem to find it. :/

The contract would come in a package that would include the construction of a refinery and will have more favorable terms than the previous service contracts that Iraq signed with international oil companies, a domestic oil industry official said, without giving further details.
By HASSAN HAFIDH
Iraq's oil ministry on Tuesday invited international
companies to bid to develop the giant Nassiriya oil field in
southern Iraq and build a nearby refinery in a package deal.
The project contemplates the integrated
development of the (4+) billion barrel Nassiriya oil field in
Thi-Qar province together with the construction and operation of a new
300,000 bpd refinery," the ministry said in a
statement on its website.
Potential bidders would join upstream companies already
qualified by the ministry to develop the project, it said.
Earlier this year, the head of the oil ministry's petroleum
contracts and licensing directorate, Abdul Mahdy al-Ameedi,
said some 47 prequalified upstream firms will be invited to
compete for the project.
The contract would come in a package that would include the
construction of a refinery and will have more
favorable terms than the previous service contracts that Iraq
signed with international oil companies, he said, without
giving further details.
A consortium of three Japanese companies comprising JX
Holding, Inpex and JGC Corp. had negotiated the Nassiriya oil
field for three years. But negotiations were called off at the
last minute in 2009 over financing reasons.
Nassiriya's proven crude oil reserves of more than 4.4
billion bbl make it an attractive investment
Iraq's three aging main refineries - Dura, Baiji, and Basra
- are producing at 70% of capacity, equivalent to around
560,000 bpd.
Iraq hopes to increase its refining capacity to at least
750,000 bpd this year.

Dean Hare/Associated Press
PULLMAN, Wash. � Colorado quarterback Jordan Webb had the option of throwing or running when he went behind center with 12 seconds left and his team trailing Washington State by six.
�I saw the box was thin, so I checked to a run play,� Webb said.
He ran 4 yards untouched into the end zone, the last of three Colorado touchdowns in the final 7 minutes, to lift the Buffaloes over Washington State 35-34 on Saturday in the Pac-12 Conference opener for both teams.
�I knew the offensive line was going to block like they had all day,� said Webb, who ran for two touchdowns and threw for two others in the upset.
Washington State was favored by 19 going into the game.
Colorado (1-3) had been all but given up for dead after losing its first three games, including last week�s 69-14 loss to Fresno State.
�A week ago they were putting the last shovel of dirt on us,� Colorado coach Jon Embree said. �I always felt we were better than we were showing.�
Washington State led 31-14 midway through the fourth quarter. Then the Buffaloes scored three touchdowns in the final 7:06 to pull out the win.
Connor Halliday threw four touchdown passes for Washington State (2-2), which was looking for its first three-game winning streak since 2006.
�We�re a mentally weak team,� Washington State coach Mike Leach said. �That�s got to change.�
�We want to go complacent when we get ahead and panic when something good happens for the other guy,� Leach said. �We are afraid to win.�
It was the third consecutive game in which Washington State led in the first half and let the other team close on them in the second. But they managed to hold on in victories over Eastern Washington and UNLV.
Colorado put up 531 total yards compared to 451 for Washington State.
Webb completed 29 of 42 passes for 345 yards and was intercepted once. He was sacked six times.
Washington State was ahead 34-28 when Colorado took over on its 30 and marched to the Washington State 4. On fourth down, Webb bootlegged up the middle for a touchdown to tie the score. Will Oliver�s extra point gave Colorado its first lead, 35-34, with 9 seconds left.
Colorado had pulled within 31-28 on Webb�s 70-yard touchdown pass to Nick Kasa midway through the fourth quarter, followed by Tony Jones� 84-yard scoring run with 4:23 left.
On the ensuing kickoff, the Cougars wasted Teondray Caldwell�s 56-yard return and had to settle for Andrew Furney�s 42-yard field goal. That set up Webb�s final drive and touchdown run.
The game was played in air thick with smoke from wildfires 200 miles away in central Washington.
Halliday completed 32 of 60 passes for 401 yards. The Cougars, so far, have shown only flashes of Leach�s high-flying �Air Raid� offense.

Two Cheers for Partisanship
These are polarized times, but partisanship isn't as pernicious as its critics insist
Everyone complains that American political life these days is highly polarized—and everyone is right. The Pew Research Center reported last year that, among the voting public, Democrats are now more liberal and Republicans more conservative than they have been in decades. And what's true of voters is true of their representatives, too. On issue after issue, Congress makes decisions along ever more predictable partisan lines.
About the only thing the two parties agree on, in fact, is that such partisanship is lamentable—and that the other party is to blame. During the battle last fall that led to a government shutdown, House Speaker John Boehner said it was "a shame that the president could not manage to rise above partisanship." President Obama has decried "the refusal of some folks in Congress to put country ahead of party."
This bipartisan contempt for partisanship has deep roots in American history. In "The Federalist," Number 10, James Madison famously responded to the worry that the American republic, like its ancient predecessors, would be a means for permanent factions to pursue their private interests instead of the public good—putting party ahead of country. And in his farewell address to the nation in 1796, George Washington warned against "the baneful effects of the spirit of party," which "serves always to distract the public councils and enfeeble the public administration." Yet in the founders' time, as in our own, dreams of rising above party often yielded to sharply polarized realities.
A cause for despair? Not really. Partisanship isn't as pernicious as its critics insist. It does tend to slow things down, but that is hardly all bad. And as a historical matter, partisanship has surely not paralyzed our government. Even our own hyper-polarized era has seen some major legislation enacted.
Most important, today's fashionable antipartisan impulse misses something crucial about parties in a modern democracy. The point was best articulated by Edmund Burke, the 18th-century British statesman and political thinker. Parties, he insisted, aren't the same as factions. A faction is bent on its own self-regarding advantage, but a party "is a body of men united for promoting by their joint endeavor the national interest upon some principle in which they are all agreed." A party's members are unified not by a private interest they want to advance but by a shared view of the good of the nation as a whole. Party differences are disagreements about the common good—not petty, selfish squabbles.
Burke's point should appeal, above all, to the conservatives who are his intellectual heirs. Such differences about the common good are unavoidable in a free society, Burke thought, because they result from the inherent limitations of human knowledge. Technocrats who imagine that statesmanship involves applying expertise to straightforward practical problems might be able to imagine a post-partisan future in which politics is a kind of applied science. Some of Burke's opponents—such as Thomas Paine, the radical writer and activist who was perhaps his foremost foil—argued that, in a rational political system, parties could only distract the people from the truth.
But Burke saw politics as a matter of judgment, not science. He believed that the citizens of a free society would usually divide into two broad dispositions toward politics, based on rival notions of the public weal: One group would tend to be grateful for the good in society and want to use it to address the bad, while the other group would tend to be outraged at the bad and eager to uproot it and start over.
This would lead to two different approaches to governing and different answers to particular public questions. Individuals might not feel perfectly at home in either party, but Burke thought that politicians and citizens should stand together with those whose views were most akin to their own. Otherwise, they could never hope to achieve anything. As he wrote, "No man, who isn't inflamed by vainglory into enthusiasm can flatter himself that his single, unsupported, desultory, unsystematic endeavors, are of power to defeat the subtle designs and united cabals of ambitious citizens."
None of this means that every camera-ready partisan diatribe on cable news is an act of high statesmanship, but it does mean that pursuing a common cause through common effort with like-minded citizens—even those inclined to diatribes—is the only way any of us can advance our vision of the good society.
Burke's humility about the knowledge and power of any individual led him to think that parties weren't only unavoidable but good. It also put him in one party rather than another—in the party of humble gratitude and cautious incrementalism. His case for partisanship is most likely to persuade contemporary conservatives, for similar reasons. After all, the alternative to today's partisan debate isn't high-minded deliberation among toga-clad Romans; it is modern technocracy—the rule of experts who think they know enough to manage society from the center.
Burke thought that the experience of working together toward common goals—of turning general principles into particular policies and trying to persuade the public of their wisdom—would help make partisans more responsible and effective. He saw partisanship as the path to statesmanship, not to vitriol and gridlock. Partisans who help each other remain focused on a shared vision of the common good, rather than on momentary political advantage, might just advance the national interest and their party interests at the same time.
That seems awfully optimistic amid contemporary Washington's partisan din. But it offers a goal as much as a hope. Since partisanship isn't going anywhere, liberals and conservatives alike would be wise to make the most of it.

It's Time for Wall Street to Profit From Celebrity Duds
With shares in athletes to be sold, can money be made if they fail?
A company called Fantex Holdings plans to sell shares in professional athletes to the public. Much like the innovative (David) Bowie Bonds that came on the market about 15 years ago, the concept allows investors to profit from the future earnings of top players. Those earnings include salary, endorsements, perhaps even book deals. The star gets a big payout now—$10 million in the case of the Houston Texans star running back Arian Foster—and if his career continues to blossom, backers will clean up.
Obviously, the investment is risky. If a player tears his ACL, gets banned for life for using steroids or simply dies, that investment might not look so good in the end. The company eventually hopes to expand its celebrity IPO market to include rock stars and actors.
Fantex's approach raises a number of intriguing questions. First, is it possible to short the athletes in question? Or to hedge one's bet by going long on a Green Bay Packers quarterback while going short—that is, profiting from a decline in share price by selling borrowed stock—on a Miami Dolphins kicker? Highly touted young players often turn out to be dogs; it would be nice to be able to bet against massively hyped young stars who might end up as busts.
Ryan Leaf and the Boz fall into the category of can't-miss stars who ended up stinking out the joint. Ditto the cabal of feckless bozos that my team, the Eagles, has drafted in the past three years. God, would I love to short that secondary!
If Fantex does one day begin selling shares in young actors, this could prove to be a much easier and safer way to clean up. You could have made a tidy fortune shorting Mickey Rourke's career if you got in early. Ditto Hilary Swank, whose career started off like a house on fire but has cooled off considerably. You could have earned a king's ransom shorting Molly Ringwald just before the "Pretty in Pink" era ended. Conversely, if you bought into the precocious Scarlett Johansson after "The Horse Whisperer" but before "Lost in Translation," you'd be in clover. Same deal if you put all your chips on Keanu Reeves after "Bill & Ted's Bogus Journey" but before "The Matrix." Admittedly, investing in somebody named Keanu might sound a tad risky. But no riskier than investing too early in L'il Somebody or Other. Or The Hives. Or Greece.
There is no reason why these creative IPOs can't extend to hotshot economists, cutting-edge fashion designers, trendsetting magazine editors and high-profile cardiologists. Why can't investors buy shares in fast-rising talk-show hosts, potentially amusing stand-up comics and up-and-coming politicians? If you had bought shares in Barack Obama a decade ago, you'd be worth billions already. And if you shorted Eliot Spitzer and Anthony Weiner…wow.
The celebrity IPO craze could also go much more down-market. Know a good plumber? Buy shares in him now, participating in his future earnings—which could run into the millions, considering where this plumbing-challenged society is heading. Ditto electricians, stevedores, bouncers, purveyors of piquant craft beers and anyone who knows his way around sheet-rock. Get in early with teens hoping to be orthopedic surgeons, sure. But do the same, for a lot less money, with much sought-after DJs and iconoclastic baristas who look like they might be going straight to the top of the java subcosmos.
The bold investment concept might even extend to civil servants, particularly court-appointed lawyers; lock in your profits now, as soon as the kid goes to work for the Securities and Exchange Commission. Once he crosses the street and goes to work for organized crime—or Wall Street—the dollars will start cascading in. The law is always a safer bet than sports or entertainment. Lawyers never tear their ACLs.

Are barbarian health regeneration options limited to health potions and the occasional magic item that restores health at x per second?
No, since the Barbarian will be one of the main classes to choose when you want to play a "tanky" character, there are a lot of ways to get healed:
First, there's the templar. He has one ability that can flat out heal you, and one that can intercept enemies and heal the attacked player when you're at low health.
Second, there are item bonuses that grant life-leech, as a flat bonus or % of damage done, and also items that increase the amount of healing you receive from orbs.
Third, some skills of the Barbarian offer health restoration or regeneration. They are:
As for "best", this is of course, situational, since you unlock some of these runes really late in the game (above level 50), but assuming that you have access to all of the runes above:
Those are 5 skills, you'll still need to bind something to your left mouse button so you can always use it. Frenzy is perfect here, since it's a great rage generator and also heals you with the Triumph Rune.
As a sidenote: I discourage the use of Ancient Spear with the Dread Spear rune: The damage it inflicts isn't a lot, at all, meaning the healing you'll receive is tiny. Plus, in higher difficulties, in situations where you need the healing, you'll want enemies away from you, not near you.
Ancient Spear with Dread Spear Rune: Gain 60% of the damage inflicted back to life.
Used with the passive No Escape: Increases the damage of Ancient Spear and Weapon Throw by 10%. In addition, a Critical Hit with Ancient Spear resets the cooldown while Critical Hits with Weapon Throw have a chance to return 14 Fury.
This combination with a 2 handed weapon has the potential for the most healing done at once, in the Barbarian class. Gaining 60% off a 200,000+ crit, multiple times, is a lot of health. The drawback is that you need to score a critical hit and gear/damage plays a large role in the health returned.
Life on hit. You can get it from amulet and rings as well as weapon. Then use cleave instead of bash. If you have 1.5 - 2k life on hit and you hit 3 enemies on each swing, you are replacing a good amount of hp every swing. Much more than you will get from % life leech on inferno because % leech is nerfed on levels above normal (only leeches 20% of stated amount on inferno). So if you hit for 20k with 5% life leech on inferno, you only recover 200 hp per hit, and you can get way more from life on hit.
In addition to the skills heishe listed, items with life leech effect are a great source of self healing.
Equipment can grant a flat amount of health per hit, or, better yet, a percentage of the damage you deal. Considering that you should be doing nearly constant damage, this adds up, and if you can stack some of the better values from items, it will add a lot to your health pool.

Will this work with Verizon's pre-paid plan? ($20/month) I asked Verizon, but they want a serial number, and want to know if it was purchased as a pre-paid device.
(I asked icemonkey customer support - waiting for them to get back to me.)
I don't know. I'm looking at it for its WiFi capability. If you find out, please post here. Thanks!

Recent snowstorms in the mountains have Colorado skiers dreaming about fresh powder.
Oct. 20. 2011
Palmer Hoyt, the head coach of the 2011 National Champion CU Freestyle Ski Team, says there are some simple things skiers can do before they hit the slopes to help prevent injury and maximize their ski experience. Hoyt suggests beginning with exercises that mimic the twisting and side-to-side movements associated with skiing.
CUT 1 "Doing combination-type full body workouts where you're twisting, utilizing balance as well as the body's stabilizer muscles throughout a full range of motion is really important to the kind of strength that translates to skiing." (:15)
Because skiing uses so many different muscles throughout the body, Hoyt says squats are among the most effective exercises eager skiers can do.
CUT 2 "I preach to the team about doing a lot of squats because doing squats will build not only your leg muscles, but your whole body. It works your adrenal system and it kick starts the body into building muscle. (:17) And more standard workouts like that are great across the board, it doesn't matter what kind of skiing you're doing." (:22)
Hoyt says you don't need a gym membership to get into skiing shape. Improvised items like a sturdy box about 18 inches high can yield great results.
CUT 3 "There's the typical box jump that's great for any type of skiing. You hop up on it using two feet - hopping up on the box and hopping off the box and doing it as quickly as possible. And that's good for all types of skiing." (:10)
Hoyt says by designing exercises that mimic the motions of their particular genre of skiing—be it Nordic, alpine or freestyle—anyone can tailor their workout to a specific genre of skiing.
CUT 4 "In freestyle skiing, we like to mix up the box jump where somebody will jump up and spin 270 degrees and land on the box and spin off 270 degrees. By mixing it up that way you can specialize preseason ski fitness training workouts to the specific genre of skiing you may be interested in." (:18)
For many skiers, the ski season ends early not because of melting snow but because of an injury. Hoyt calls skiing an "incredible activity" and believes it is just more enjoyable when skiers aren't worried about a premature end to their season because of an injury.
CUT 5 "It's good to stretch a lot. Make sure that your legs, front and back, quads, hamstrings, are stretched out. Any kind of lateral, or torsional strength building exercises are really important." (:13)
Hoyt says, if you like to ski the best advice he can give is to keep a routine workout program going year round. That way, he says, when October hits and you see snow on the high peaks you'll know that you'll be ready to go when the first lifts are fired up.

Group aims for Ojai residents to Solarize
By Shane Cohn 12/06/2012
Fifty homeowners in the Ojai Valley are in the midst of going solar.
Two months ago the inaugural launch of Solarize Ojai, a group purchasing program designed to make solar electricity more affordable to homeowners, set out to educate Ojai residents about the advantages of using solar energy in their homes.
With the program concluding on Friday, Dec. 7, 50 different residences have signed up to learn more about the program that offers reduced installation rates by local companies during the two-month program, which program coordinators say is a success.
"In Ojai, people have high electricity bills," said Jefferson Litten, Solarize Ojai program coordinator. "People are running their air conditioning a lot in the summer, and going solar can save you money quickly."
The Community Environmental Council (CEC), a Santa Barbara environmental awareness group, teamed up with Ojai Valley Green Coalition (OVGC) and modeled the program on flourishing solarize projects in Portland, Ore., and Boston, Mass.
In 2011 and 2012, 80 homeowners in Santa Barbara went solar when the CEC offered the discounted program.
"Our biggest goal is to become a net zero community," said Deborah Tendrey, executive director of OVGC, referring to the community generating as much energy as it uses. "We'd like to see community step up more to the idea and take those initiatives."
The program offers installation rates at $4.40 per watt for the basic system. Litten said that the average price per watt in Ventura County this past year was $6.20. While residential energy use is on a case-by-case basis, Litten explained that an electricity bill of $300 per month can be reduced to $50 per month with solar panels, with a return on the investment in seven years.
Litten said CEC is also planning, eventually, to offer the program in Ventura and Oxnard.

Better than more expensive options

About Me Midrange Shopper
I do a lot of knitting and needed lumbar support in the recliner/rocker I sit in to knit. I was using an inflatable cushion from a national chain "back" store that cost a lot more than this and didn't work as well because it didn't wrap around and conform to my back as well. This is perfect for what I need!
Great for back support!
By A.R.

I bought this for my husband and he uses it every day. He is six foot five inches tall and it is hard for him to sit comfortably in many chairs. It conforms easily to any chair or couch and is a neutral color. The cushion we received was a brown and navy color, not the sheep's wool color in the photo.

The Petersen Automotive Museum - Classic LifeWritten by on August 1, 2009 Don't Leave SoCal Without Going
Southern California has been a vacation destination for the rest of the world since its earliest days when missionaries first offered wines vinted from locally grown grapes to thirsty travelers in search of a refreshing beverage to wash away the adobe clay of the El Camino Real. In the 21st century, California's missions are still a tourist attraction, and for the folks who consider themselves hardcore gearheads, or even persons mildly interested in the history of the automobile there's an attraction that shouldn't be missed. It's called the Petersen Automotive Museum, and get ready to clear some space in your brain because the place will leave you with a thousand great memories you'll never forget.
Our tour was led by Chris Brown, the Petersen's Information and Marketing Manager who CCT readers will recall as the Art Center-trained designer who penned CCT's ongoing project Dodge: High School Custom. A good indication we were in for a classic truck lover's treat was the collection of interesting old trucks displayed in front of the Petersen's lobby, and it only got better from there.

The Charlotte 49ers (9-4) begin Conference USA play on the road at UTEP (10-5), Thursday, January 9 at 9 pm. The game will broadcast nationally on the CBS Sports Network.
Since the 1991-92 season, the 49ers are 11-11 in their league opener. Charlotte has won five of their last eight league openers including a 74-65 win over La Salle (January 9, 2013) at home in last season's Atlantic 10 opener. The 49ers, who were an original member of Conference USA from 1995-2005, have won their last two Conference USA openers including a 72-60 win over East Carolina in their C-USA opener beginning their last season in the league (January 8, 2005). Charlotte was 5-5 in their first Conference USA road game during their first stint in the league. This will mark the 10th time since the 1991-92 season, that the 49ers will start league play on the road. After the 49ers play at UTEP (January 9), Charlotte will play UTSA on the road (January 11) which will mark the first time since the 1999-00 season, that the 49ers will play their first two league games on the road. Thursday's game at UTEP will be the 49ers first Conference USA regular-season game since an 85-73 loss to USF on the road, March 5, 2005.
Last time out, Charlotte defeated North Carolina A&T, 88-72, in their final non-conference game, Saturday, January 4. Pierria Henry scored 23 points, grabbed seven rebounds, dished out seven assists, recorded four steals and blocked two shots. Willie Clayton recorded his 12th straight double-figure scoring game with 13 points. He also grabbed eight rebounds. Shawn Lester recorded his 11th double-figure scoring game of the season with 13 points off the bench. Mike Thorne scored 12 points and grabbed seven rebounds. Terrence Williams grabbed eight rebounds and dished out five assists.
Lester has scored in double-figures in 11 of Charlotte's 13 games this season. Lester (13.8 ppg) leads the 49ers in scoring. Clayton (12.0 ppg), Henry (11.4 ppg), Williams (10.5 ppg) and Thorne (10.5 ppg) round out the 49ers double-figure scorers. Ingram averages 9.1 points per game. Henry leads Conference USA in steals per game at 2.67. Clayton is third in Conference USA in rebounding at 9.5 boards per game. Clayton leads Conference USA in offensive rebounds (5.0 per game).

This lightweight formula dries to a natural, matte finish, instantly absorbing oil and controlling shine for at least eight hours.

Acne or blemish-prone skin is a remarkably common skin condition. While many adolescents may experience acne, this condition also can appear for the first time in adults in their 20s or 30s or even later in life. Generally, however, if you had acne as a teenager, you are more likely to have it again as an adult. Eighty to 100 percent of all teenagers have acne to some degree, and an increasing number of adult women also have some acne.
In addition, once acne is present, excessive scrubbing or frequent cleansing will not control it, and any rough manipulation of the skin may further irritate and inflame the lesions or even lead to the formation of new acne lesions.
Myth: Eating greasy foods and chocolate will cause acne breakouts.Fact: Research has shown that foods seem to have little effect on the development of acne in most people. Following a strict diet will not clear your skin. Acne occurs when pores become blocked, trapping oil inside. As the skin continues to produce oil, the blockage grows, resulting in acne blemishes.
Myth: Picking a blemish helps the pimple to go away faster.Fact: Neither blackheads nor whiteheads should be squeezed or picked open unless extracted by a dermatologist under sterile conditions. Skin injured by squeezing or picking can become infected or scarred.
Myth: Stress causes acne.Fact: While stress does not cause acne, it can trigger flare-ups. When the body encounters stress, it increases the production of cortisol, which can increase the production of oil.
Myth: Acne is caused by poor hygiene.Fact: Actually, overwashing your face, stripping it of essential oils, will not eliminate acne nor will excessive scrubbing, which could cause skin irritation and more flare-ups. The best way to clean the face is to gently wash it twice a day with a mild soap or cleanser. Then use an appropriate acne treatment, such as a product which contains benzoyl peroxide.
Myth: There is a cure for acne.Fact: There is no cure for acne, but it can be controlled with regular use of an acne regimen. Mary Kay® offers four great products that, when used together, can help minimize and control blemishes, promoting an even complexion.

Oil on the skin's surface helps the upper layer of the skin retain water and protects the skin from environmental causes of dryness. It also can give skin a greasy or sticky feel that is present several hours after cleansing. Mary Kay® oil-control products help control surface oiliness, leaving the skin feeling smooth and looking radiant.

I'm married, dad of 3, and an IT Specialist/Admin. My formal training is centered more to the programming side. I wrote my first code by the time I was 10 (QBasic) and have been a coder ever since. However, there still aint shit with a keyboard or somekind of interface I can't cr4ck. I tend to identify more with eccentric personalities and have been accused of being an introvert (and a pervert too for that matter). It's not that I hate everyone, just stupid people. Which pretty much covers a 90% majority of you assholes out there, and yes I mean you. Humm... Let's see, I'm opinionated and not afraid to say it, I hate athority and organized religion. I'm pretty good at math and science and have a love of literature and history. Anything below an A in my family is heresy and punishable by death (at least socially). Some people think I'm a hard ass or an asshole, and they're probably right, but hey I consider it a compliment most of the time. The world hangs in the balance most of the time these days and you've got to be prepaired mentally, physically, and emotionally for anything. "Life remains... Will to Power"

I've seen a lot of times the pronoun them used like an article. For example, in the title of the Delta Rhythm Boys Them bones, or in the first sentence of "Money for nothing":
Now look at them yo-yo's, that's the way you do it.
I know that it's not "proper English" (i.e., not something you'll use in a serious writing), but I'd like to know when it's commonly used, and why. Is there any difference between using it and using the?

Core, the problem is that they are not buying food, they are buying drugs. The people buying and selling drugs are mostly on welfare. They have a way to get food, they'd rather be criminals. Start executing drug dealers would be a good start to ending this problem. Next, mandatory minimum sentences (10 yrs. for first offense) would clean things up quickly. Laziness and lack of dedication causes most economic problems. People steal things because they are too lazy to work for them. Anyone that works hard enough can get a good job and afford a home, and a car, and just about anything else they want. That is one of the things that make America great.

Obama is the biggest crony capitalist in the history of the country. He and his wife are also the nation's biggest hypocrites. Criminals cause crime. If poverty caused crime, people would find their refridgerators empty instead of their copper pipes and jewlery missing.

That dog won't hunt is a US phrase meaning something won't fulfil its intended purpose, or a plan or scheme will fail.
It is southern US slang, originally that old dog won't hunt meaning something just isn't going to happen.
The Facts on File Dictionary of Clichés by Christine Ammer says:
The Facts On File Dictionary of American Regionalisms by Robert Hendrickson says:
This longer version appears in a summary of American Speech: Volume 14 from 1939:
A good example of an ever longer version appears in the 1961 The Gay Place: Being Three Related Novels by Billy Lee Brammer, from Texas, quoting a governor:
Brammer began writing the novel whilst working for Texas senator Lyndon Baines Johnson.
A summary of a 1965 Automobile Cases says:
It also appears in Jesse Hill Ford's 1965 novel The Liberation of Lord Byron Jones, set in Tennessee:

Quitting Smoking: 6 Things You Notice About the Stupid World
My body feels like electrified concrete. My mind isn't working. I've eaten about half a pound of Jelly Belly's already. Even the licorice flavored ones.
What's it like to quit smoking, you ask? Remember the worst flu you've ever had -- body aches, lethargy, stomach cramps, nausea, headaches, sore throat, coughing that makes your lungs feel like they're on fire. Then imagine the angriest you've ever been, and try to picture being in that state for a solid week. When people try to cheer you up, it only makes it worse. Everything makes it worse.
Concentrate on physically clenching every muscle in your body all at once and hold it for as long as you can. Just when you think you can't take it anymore, hold it for another week. Now, combine all of those into one cohesive army that's constantly attacking your body and mind, and the whole time, you know that smoking a single cigarette will take all of that away in less than five seconds.
I've smoked one to two packs of cigarettes a day for 24 years, and just this week I decided that enough is enough. So I loaded up on junk food, attempted to seal myself off from society and quit cold turkey. Here are a number of observations I made about the world while in the throes of nicotine addiction.
#6. MTV is Not Targeted Toward Adults Suffering Nicotine Withdrawal
To catch you up a bit, I had a series of habits that had me scheduled to die before age 50. I managed to quit drinking over a year ago and wrote about the terrible recovery process. My doctor says for my liver this was the equivalent of diving from a car one second before it flies off a cliff and explodes into a ball of fire below. So step two in my goal to live to see my children some day graduate from college was to stop smoking those 30 or 40 cigarettes a day.
Luckily there are many saliva-augmenting alternatives
Anyway, I had been planning a completely unrelated column where I would come back to MTV after having not watched it since I was 16, trying to see teen culture through adult eyes. I thought this would be interesting, considering that it kind of annoyed me even when I was perfectly within the target audience. Having grown up when MTV was in the Pauly Shore era, I was eager to see how they the channel's on-air personalities had evolved the science of being incredibly fucking annoying now that they were in their Jersey Shore phase. Somehow my editors wound up scheduling my MTV marathon on the same day as my first day smoke-free. In my state of mind, this was like somehow getting into a boxing match while laying on an operating table getting open brain surgery.
I reached out to Cracked's own Dan O'Brien for help:
I can't say much more on that subject because my "all-day" MTV marathon lasted two hours. Let me just put it this way and move on: If you can't be like Elvis and shoot your TV with a revolver when it pisses you off, then cramming your dick into the screen really is the only thing that relieves the hate. Yes, tell me how you "didn't come here to make friends," MTV reality show star. Say it into my balls.
#5. Brown Jelly Bellys are Like Shit Landmines
As any ex-smoker or attempted ex-smoker will tell you, the "hand-to-mouth" part of the habit is every bit as hard to break as the chemical nicotine addiction. When I smoked my last cigarette and tossed the rest, the time that elapsed before I subconsciously reached for the pack was three minutes.
So you have to do something that lets you replace that hand-to-mouth action until you can de-program it. For me, it was candy. Goddamned piece of shit candy.
Let me tell you why this Jelly Belly jellybean situation is fucking bullshit. There are four flavors of Jelly Belly that are brown: Cappuccino, Root Beer, Might As Fucking Well Be Root Beer and Spiritual Abortion. I could buy a full pound of just the cappuccino ones and eat them for all three meals. But I cannot express enough what kind of mind-fucking, soul-crushing, trust-obliterating sense violation it is to bite down on what you expect to be cappuccino and ends up being any of the other three. And it happens every fucking time.
75 percent chance of eating a human shit flavored Jelly Belly.
Because they not only made them all brown, they made them almost the same exact shade of brown. True Jelly Belly fans will point out that the cappuccino ones are speckled whereas the others are not, in which case I point out that I'm quitting smoking and will fucking car bomb you if you don't stop being such an enormous goddamn embarrassment.
#4. "Cyjackers"
I cannot use this as an excuse to smoke. This is the trap the addiction sets; I've fallen into it before. "Wow, nicotine withdrawal makes me act like a raging asshole! I'd better smoke again just for the unselfish benefit of those around me!" Uh huh. Nice try, cigarettes. This won't last forever. I have to remind myself of that. But if I smoke, then I have to go through all of this again. No fucking way. Even if everything is making me want to punch the world. Like cyjackers.
"Cyjackers," you say? "Why, that word doesn't even goddamned exist, John. What the fuck are you talking about?"
Although it might make a great series of young adult novels
Good question. The term came from my local news, who tried their precious little hearts out to do a story on technology, but ended up just looking like a bunch of drooling rock fuckers, desperately trying to scare old people and connect with teens. It was a story on identity theft, which began with the words:
"They call them 'cyjackers,' and they can steal your ..."
No. No, no, no, no, no they fucking don't. Nobody in the history of humanity's combined technology has ever, ever, used the word "cyjacker" in any context. Nobody in the long, festering existence of mankind's numerous languages has ever put those letters in that order to create that term with that meaning. Ever.
You made that up, you fucks. Holy shit, how long as it been since I quit? THREE HOURS?
Luckily, when I heard them say that, the closest thing I could throw at the television was a dry dishrag that bounced off with a light "fluff" sound before I unleashed a barrage of cursing that made me thankful my kids weren't here. Not because I didn't want them to hear the cursing, but because there's a good chance I would have thrown one of them at the TV as well.

How do you empty the 2.5 gal Husky Wet-n-Dry vac?
6 Answers answer
take outside. open top. lay on side. or am i missing something here?
@moosezilla: Maybe turn upside down?
@jjilk: i wonder if there is a techinical issue or something. i said lay on side figuring maybe an inability to lift the weight of 2.5 gallons of stuff.
Reverse thrust!(Outdoors only, of course. Wear safety goggles!)
All kidding aside, search the interwebz for an owner's manual. You should be able to find one.
i found a manual online. push outward on the gizmos on each side and lift up, then empty and clean the mess.
@moosezilla: Which is why there's a convenient free-form field in which he/she could have used to clarify the question...

Which Name Gets Your Vote? Top 12 U.S. President-Inspired Baby Names
12 of 14
Reagan means "little king" in Gaelic, so it's ironic that the surname of our 40th president, Ronald Reagan, is a rising name for baby girls. Ronald Reagan's early days as a Hollywood actor, his survival of an attempted assassination in 1981, and his restoration of U.S. economic prosperity mark his presidency.

Finger Cookies
Prepare a standard sugar cookie recipe, or a mix, plus 2 Tablespoons flour.
Roll about a tablespoon of dough into a long thin cylinder to resemble a finger. Using your own knuckle, make an indention about halfway down the cookie. Bake as directed.
1 /2 cup confectioner's sugar + 1 tsp water,
adding more water by drops until it is a thick smooth mixture
1 tube red gel icing
When cookies are cool, paint the fingernail with the white sugar mixture and add red gel blood to the cracks in the cookie to appear as scars or wounds.
Witches Claw
Using a refrigerated can of breadsticks, cut each in half and lay flat on a baking sheet.
Cut 4-5 pepperoni rounds into six pie shaped pieces.
Using one whisked egg white, brush the bread sticks and place the pepperoni like a fingernail on one end. Bake according to package directions.
Serve with thick marsala sauce or spaghetti sauce. Arrange fingers around the sauce.
Bat Cake & Scary Spiders
Prepare one box of regular cake mix. Pour six cupcakes, and pour the remaining batter into a 9-inch or 10-inch round pan. Bake as directed.
When the cake has cooled, remove from the pan. Using the pattern that follows, cut the cake into pieces. Place each piece on a separate cut section of parchment paper.
Prepare a tall glass of very hot water. Take a little more than a tablespoon of whipped icing from the container, dip quickly in the hot water, and begin to ice the pieces. Each time you get more icing, dip briefly in the hot water to ease application of the cut pieces.
Yellow icing works best for the moon, while black, or chocolate works best for the bat.
White icing is used for the mouth and fangs, while small red candies are used for the eyes. Allow the pieces to dry, or place in the freezer for more than 2 hours.
Prepare a 21" long tray for the assembled cake. Place the body in the center of the tray. Secure the ears. Gently place the wings and add very little icing to secure them to the body. Serve with a wicked smile.
Gently shave the tops off the cupcakes and place them face down on parchment paper. Ice the cupcakes in the same manner as the bat cake with the hot water dips. When ready to place on the serving tray, cut string licorice into 2 inch lengths for the legs of the spider. Place under the edges of the cupcake. Using white icing, or red candies, create the eyes for creepy followers.

Bringing Advanced Care to Our Communities
As co-founder and director of the Familial Cancer Program, Arrick leads Norris Cotton Cancer Center's effort to provide comprehensive cancer genetics services throughout the region. The Program offers family history analysis, risk assessment, screening and prevention recommendations, genetic counseling, and genetic testing. "We're the only cancer genetics service in the state," Arrick says. The Familial Cancer Program also provides services at Cancer Center regional locations in Manchester, NH, and St. Johnsbury, VT.
Certain genetic mutations can make people more susceptible to cancer. For example, some genes-called tumor suppressor genes-suppress the formation or growth of tumors. When a mutation changes a tumor suppressor gene, that alteration can increase the risk of cancer. In certain instances, those mutations can be inherited by multiple generations. Thanks to the Familial Cancer Program, people at risk of having such a mutation can be tested.
Arrick says that regardless of the outcome, genetic testing provides significant benefits for patients and families. "If they end up testing positive, then we can design a program of prevention and screening and really save them from cancer or catch it in its earliest stages," he says. "And if they're negative, we can give them quite a sense of relief."
The Familial Cancer Program also offers counseling for people whose genes indicate an increased risk of cancer. To help patients decide which treatment is best for them, Arrick has worked on finding innovative and effective methods of talking to patients about their options. "We are focused on trying to look at different ways to convey numerical information," he says. He has found that the use of visual aids makes it easier for people to understand their risks and make informed choices about their treatment.
Arrick is also Chief of the Section of Hematology/ Oncology, which provides care to patients with a wide array of malignancies. Some of the services provided by Norris Cotton Cancer Center are unique in the region. As an example, Arrick cites the Cancer Center's interdisciplinary approach to care. "Generally, most cancers involve not just an oncologist, but a surgeon, radiation oncologist, and possibly a physical therapist, dietitian, and social worker," he says. "Having all those people working together in the same place helps make sure all the bases are covered. That's the kind of interdisciplinary clinic we've been rolling out here. Our goal is to start to bring interdisciplinary clinics to Manchester as well."
Arrick was recently named the third Steven B. Currier Clinical Oncology Scholar, in support of his leadership role in advancing patient care and translational research in the Cancer Center. Philip and Jane Currier of Elkins, NH, endowed the fund in 1996 in memory of their son, Steven.
Arrick believes that philanthropy like that of the Curriers, and that of the Friends and the Prouty, is essential to the success of Norris Cotton Cancer Center research and programs. "Awards through the community, the Friends and the Prouty help fund projects to build new collaborations and move the Cancer Center in new directions," he says. "I think everyone in the Cancer Center is aware of, and grateful for, the many ways in which our communities contribute to our research, and to our efforts to make a difference in the lives of patients with cancer and their families throughout our region."
