New York Daysby Willie Morris
View All Available Formats & Editions
In the critically acclaimed New York Days, Willie Morris recalls his triumphant, exciting, and ultimately devastating years as the youngest ever editor-in-chief of Harper's, America's oldest magazine, when he was at the center of the nation's stunning cosmos of writing, publishing, politics, and the arts. New York Days captures the spirit of the 60's: the dazzling parties, the fervent intellectualism, and the sense of slowly decaying idealism as the country plunged deeper into a tragic war and intensifying social chaos. In the midst of this scene is Willie Morris, exalted, exhilarated, and eventually almost consumed by his brilliant, electric, enervating New York days.

Two tires? Four tires? What about just one?
I've received multiple emails lately questioning why customers are being told they need to replace all four tires or even two tires when only one of their tires is actually bad.
All-Wheel Drive (AWD) is the common denominator when it comes to "requiring all 4 tires." Yes, if your car is AWD the tires should be replaced in sets of four matched tires. An AWD vehicle's drivetrain is designed to do just what it implies: drive or apply power to any or all of the four wheels at any time. AWD greatly improves traction in the rain, snow or any other slippery conditions and provides for even greater performance and traction in dry driving conditions.
On AWD vehicles, the front and rear axles are connected by a driveshaft to a transfer case or viscous coupling. It's the transfer case's job, along with a computer in some cars, to apply power to any of the four wheels at any given time. This is determined by the amount of slip or wheel spin on any tire when compared to the other three. For example, if you're on ice and the left front tire starts to slip, it will be spinning faster than the other three the computer will sense the loss of traction. When this happens the car will reduce power to that spinning wheel and apply more power to the other three. That is exactly how the system is designed to work.
Having mismatched tires can trick your car into thinking there is loss of traction and wreak havoc on the AWD components. Forcing the transfer case and viscous coupling to work all the time will cause excessive heat and wear until there is a failure. If this is happening, you experience a binding or bucking feeling on tight turns, chirping tires or difficulty steering at low speeds.
Specifications vary between manufacturers: Audi says the rolling radius of all tires must remain the same or measure within 4/32 inch, Subaru says all should be with in a .25 inch circumference, General Motors say all tires should be with in 2/32 inch. Even brand-new tires can vary in size. At my shop, even when installing four new tires, we use a stagger gauge and measure the rolling radius of each tire to ensure the tires are matched to avoid problems.
In some cases you can replace a single tire, especially if they're expensive! If the other tires on your car have good tread remaining and are in good condition, we may consider having a new tires shaved to match the tread of the other tires.
On front- and rear-wheel drive cars, replacing single tires or pairs of two is fine in most cases.
• Try to avoid mixing brands or tread patterns. Can you imagine how goofy you would walk wearing a running shoe and a heel? Maybe your car won't feel goofy, but it sure will handle and drive differently with mismatched treads.
• New tires should always be installed on the rear axle.
• Never install a tire with a lower speed rating than specified by the vehicle manufacturer.
• Check tire pressure monthly.
• Rotations should be done every 5,000 to 7,000 miles.
• Always refer to your owner's manual for specifics about your car.

Culture Shock
By Steven Robert Allen
Pope in New Mexico—Performance artist William Pope knows how to get attention. He's eaten a Wall Street Journal while seated on an American flag. He's sold mayonnaise for $100 a dollop. He's tied himself to an ATM machine with sausage links while handing out cash to random strangers. He once crawled—yeah, crawled—a 22-mile stretch of Broadway in New York City to draw attention to the National Endowment for the Arts' failure to fund his work. Pope is coming to Santa Fe this week to present a series of talks, workshops and performances. If you're up north in the next few days, you won't want to miss this.

War Law: Understanding International Law and Armed Conflict
Each time the United States goes to battle, the president must make two cases for war—one to the American people, the other to the world. Since 9/11, the U.S. has worried much more about the former than the latter, and in War Law, Michael Byers reveals just how radically the Bush doctrine of pre-emptive action departs from the international norm.

Dancing the Tango with a Big, Hairy Ape
An interview with Dan Abbate
By Amy Dalness
When the Gorilla Tango Theatre debuted just a little over a year ago, a huge void in Downtown Albuquerque finally got filled. Every real urban metropolis in the country has at least one improv theater—if not 30. Our beloved Downtown graduated into the big leagues when Dan Abbate and his parents moved from Chicago to get out of the cold. They saw the void, bought a run-down, half-burnt building and turned it into Albuquerque's only improv theater and training center. The Alibi recently sat down with Abbate to find out how the Duke City has received Gorilla Tango and what's in store for its hilarious future.

I have a problem with the appearance of my top menu on my android smart phone: I want the items to show up as a drop down menu, which they already do on some sites. However, on other sites the menu is not responsive (I hope I am using the correct expression here), no drop down menu appears but just the horrizontal navigation bar. It appears to be that the problem is on those sites where I embedded vimeo or youtube videos with their players. But I am not sure if that is related. Does somebody know what is going on?

text: Highlights Company reports Q1 diluted earnings of $0.28 per share vs. year-ago earnings of $0.23 per share Total sales increase of 13 percent driven mainly by food grade alcohol Company strengthens sales, product innovation and customer-facing teams ATCHISON, Kan., Nov. 9, 2010 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- MGP Ingredients, Inc. (Nasdaq:MGPI) today reported net income of $5,002,000, or $0.28 in diluted earnings per share, for the first quarter of fiscal 2011, which ended September 30, 2010. This compares with net income of $3,738,000, or $0.23 in diluted earnings per share, for the first quarter of fiscal 2010. Total sales in the first quarter were $56,978,000, a 13 percent increase from sales of $50,249,000 for the same period one year ago. The increase was principally due to higher sales of food grade alcohol, with positive contributions from the Company's joint venture distillery operations. "We are pleased to report another quarter of solid profitability in both of our key segments, including a strong performance from our Illinois Corn Processing, LLC (ICP), joint venture in Pekin, Illinois," said Tim Newkirk, president and chief executive officer. "On the distillery side, we are seeing better demand for high quality food grade industrial alcohol. At the same time, ICP is approaching normalized volumes following start-up last fiscal year. Our focus in this segment is on maintaining gross margin in the face of rising input costs. While we can expect some quarterly variation in distillery sales due to demand cycles and other factors, the general trend is positive and gross margin remains above target." Newkirk continued, "The ingredients segment continues to make very good progress despite plant interruptions to effect capital investments to support growth. We are especially encouraged by growing demand for our unique fiber and textured wheat protein platforms. I also want to point out that our first quarter SG&A expenses included costs related to our incentive plans, as well as the added expense of rolling out our new business information system. Costs were also affected by the use of outside resources to design and implement supply chain and operating efficiency improvements. While our investments in generating future revenues have a short-term impact on profits, these are critical moves to help capture our full market opportunity." Prev 0 of 3 Next

My kids have no problem swallowing these, and they don't mind the taste at all! Even my 18 month old doesn't mind it! I'm hoping to see overall improvement in my school-aged ADD kids, but having only given it to them for a few days I certainly didn't expect this kind of result yet. I am very hopeful though, in knowing that I don't have kids fighting me! I definitely recommend for any aged child.

Billionaire refuses to return $25m Modigliani masterpiece stolen by Nazis from Jewish art dealerBreaking News
A billionaire New York City art dealer is refusing to return a famous $25 million painting that was stolen from a renowned Jewish art dealer by the Nazis during World War II, a sensational lawsuit charges.
In court papers, Philippe Maestracci alleges that the Helly Nahmad Gallery -- located in Manhattan's posh Carlyle Hotel on Madison Avenue -- is wrongly in possession of the 1918 painting, 'Seated Man With a Cane,' by Italian artist Amedeo Modigliani.
The canvas was owned by Maestracci's grandfather Oscar Stettiner, a prominent Jewish gallery owner in Paris.
But Stettiner was forced to flee with his wife and two children months before the German troops stormed into Paris and the north and west of France became occupied Nazi territory....

Research Institution:
AbstractGeneral objective of this program is to develop efficient optical limiters based onfullerene-dendrimer supramolecular structures. The scientific basis of the proposedprogram is nonlinear optical behavior of fullerenes and dependence of that behavioron interaction between fullerene molecules and matrix material. Reactions betweenfullerene and dendrimer molecules, studied at MER, resulting in formation ofchemical bonds and yielding supramolecular structures that contain distinctivefullerene and dendrimer entities open the possibility of using dendrimers asconvenient matrix for fullerene molecules. The controllability of the molecularsizes and shapes through precisely defined generations and controllability ofmolecular rigidity depending on size, shape and nature of dendrimers, makedendrimers a perfect matrix to investigate the validity of the concept that opticallimiting properties of fullerenes could be tuned and optimized through interactionwith matrix having variable rigidity. It is expected that the proposed concept canlead to the development of passive optical limiter with short reaction time, of theorder of mili-second, and with sufficiently low saturation threshold in the intervalbetween 0.6 J/cm2 and 1 J/cm2. The main goal of the Phase 1 is to synthesizefullerene-dendrimer supramolecules of different kinds, and to perform a thoroughcharacterization of optical properties of obtained products in order to prove thedefined concept. Optimization and definition of production procedure, andfabricating prototype coatings will be the main goal of the first part of the Phase2, while the second part will encompass fabrication of prototypes, verification ofquality of the products and preparations for commercial production.The main commercial potential of the anticipated fullerene-dendrimer molecularstructure is in the market of optical protection at instrumentation/sensor level aswell as in the domain of professional personal protection. Another potential fieldof commercialization may be the application as efficient self-lubricating materialsand lubricant additives. Potential applications in electronic industry,electrochemistry and medical applications should not be excluded.

Editor's Note: Pleasant Surprises
We were racing against time. My wife and I had just left Carlsbad Caverns, and were on our way to the White Sands National Monument. Now well into the desert Southwest portion of our cross-country drive from the East Coast in December 2014, we had to get there before sundown, when cars are no longer allowed to enter the world's largest gypsum dunefield. Terrain began to change as we entered Lincoln National Forest in New Mexico's high plains. As we gained in elevation, arid flatlands with little more than shrubs gradually gave way to rolling hills, streams and the greenery of trees. We were already several thousand feet above sea level. But we had no idea how much higher we'd be going. That changed when we caught sight of a car...

Adding Service Worker to a simple website - rossta.net
A nice little walkthrough of a straightforward Service Worker for a content-based site, like a blog.
A nice little walkthrough of a straightforward Service Worker for a content-based site, like a blog.
The life cycle of a Service Worker—with all its events and states—is the one bit that I've never paid that much attention to. My eyes just glaze over when it comes to installation, registration, and activation. But this post explains the whole process really clearly. Now it's starting to make sense to me.
Andrew picks out his favourite bits from this year's Google I/O, covering web payments, CSS containment, and—of course—Service Workers and progressive web apps, although he does note (and I concur):
I wish Google would focus as much attention on 'normal' sites that perform navigations as they do on so called 'app-shell' (which is just a new name for single-page apps, as far as I can tell), but then many people will be building SPAs and these recipes will make those apps fly. In news publishing we seem to flip flop between traditional page navigations and SPAs, but I've never found a SPA news site (or a native app) that I really like more than a normal website. Maybe a really good progressive web app will change that. But I'm not convinced.
Still, as he says:
All this really just underscores how flexible ServiceWorker is and that with it we can disagree on what the right solution is, but we can all get what we want anyway.
Jason looks at the business reasons for and against building progressive web apps. In short, there's everything to gain and nothing to lose.
Seriously, why would you not add a Service Worker and a manifest file to your site? (assuming you're already on HTTPS)
The roadmap for progressive web apps from Microsoft; not just their support plans, but also some ideas for distribution.
The second book in Adam Scott's series on ethical web development is a nice quick read, covering URL design, Service Workers, and performance.
This ongoing series about the nuts'n'bolts of implementing Service Workers is really good. This one is great for getting to grips with the cache API.
Dave turned Day Trip into a progressive web app.
Starting this week, Android users (~13% of our active user base) who use DayTrip more than once will eventually be asked if they want to install our web app to their Home Screen. That's important real estate for a small startup like ourselves.
Minimum viable Service Worker tutorial. Copy, paste, and don't ask questions.
Remy sums up the psychological end goal of progressive apps (HTTPS + Service Worker + manifest JSON file) prompting an add to home screen action:
This high bar of entry will create a new mental model for our users.
If I add this app to my home screen, it will work when I open it.
It's a shame that this charge to turbo-boast the perception of the web on mobile is a bit one-sided: I would love to see Apple follow Google's lead here. But if Android succeed in their goal, then I think iOS will have to follow suit just to compete.
I hadn't heard of the
save-data header. This article shows how you can use a Service Worker to sniff for it and serve up smaller assets, but I'm guessing you could also sniff for it from the server.
Myself and Batesy spent last week in Ipswich doing an intense design sprint with Suffolk Libraries. Leon has written up process from his perspective as the client—I'll try to get a case study up on the Clearleft website soon.
This is really great write-up; it captures the sense of organised chaos:
I can't recommend this kind of research sprint enough. We got a report, detailed technical validation of an idea, mock ups and a plan for how to proceed, while getting staff and stakeholders involved in the project — all in the space of 5 days.
Microsoft are officially on board with implementing Service Workers in Edge:
Roadmap Priority: High — We intend to begin development soon.
Ooh, I really like this idea! Pointing to your Service Worker the same way you point to your style sheet makes a lot of sense to me.
Lyza has written an excellent deep dive into Service Workers, complete with code.
I'm really chuffed that she gave me a shout-out to my exhortation:
So if you decide to play around with Service Workers, please, please share your experience.
Adrian documents how he's using Service Workers on Soundslice. I could imagine doing something similar for The Session.
A great piece by Christian on taking a responsible, customer-focused approach to building on the web.
You don't have to support old browsers and terrible setups. But you are not allowed to block them out. It is a simple matter of giving a usable interface to end users. A button that does nothing when you click it is not a good experience. Test if the functionality is available, then create or show the button.
Yes, this is an argument for progressive enhancement. No, that does not mean you can't use JavaScript.
You can absolutely expect JavaScript to be available on your end users computers in 2016. At the same time it is painfully naive to expect it to work under all circumstances.
Calum has set up a Service Worker on his site. Here he muses on the potential for offline experiences.
A hands-on look at building a progressive web app with Service Workers, manifest files, HTTPS, and all that good stuff. This is nice and balanced, extolling the virtues but also warning about the potential difficulties in implementing this stuff.
One nitpick though: there's talk of graceful degradation, and while I get that that's the outcome, I think it's better to think in terms of progressive enhancement, which is the approach.
Here's a really nice addition to my Service Worker script—opportunistically add non-critical CSS, JavaScript, and fonts to a cache as you go.
This is a nifty use of Service Workers—using a cache to mitigate unresponsive Content Delivery Networks.
The stuff in here about
Promise.race is particularly useful for "lie-fi" scenarios: instead of thinking about the network connection in a binary way (either it's available or it isn't), considering the scenario of a crappy network connection seems more realistic.
Bruce gives a great run-down of what's involved in creating one of those new-fangled progressive apps that everyone at Google and Opera (and soon, Mozilla) are talking about: a secure connection, a service worker, and a manifest file.
Crucially, in browsers that don't support it, you have a normal website. It's perfect progressive enhancement.
Funnily enough, this here website—adactio.com—is technically a progressive app now.
At their simplest, Progressive Web Apps are application-like things hosted on your web server. If you're as old as me, you might call them "web sites"
Outlining the architectural thinking required to create what the Google devrel folks are calling progressive apps.
Browsers without service worker support should always be served a fall-back experience. In our demo, we fall back to basic static server-side rendering…
…but this is only one of many options.
Hmmm. In my opinion, sending usable HTML on first request isn't an implementation detail—it's crucial. But on the whole, this approach is very sensible indeed.
A great walkthrough of setting up a Service Worker for a blog. The code is here but more importantly, as Brandon says:
I wouldn't be able to implement this myself if it wasn't for some of the awesome people I mentioned earlier sharing their experience. So share, share, share!
Another clear explanation by Nicolas of using Service Worker, this time on CSS Tricks.
Have a read through all of Remy's posts on his frustrating—but still rewarding—time running JS Bin.
I really like Alex's framing of best-of-breed progressively enhanced websites as "progressive apps" (although Bruce has some other ideas about the naming).
It's a shame that the add-to-homescreen part isn't standardised yet though.
It's very early days for ServiceWorker, but Jake is on hand with documentation and instructions on its use. To be honest, most of this is over my head and I suspect it won't really "click" until I try using it for myself.
Where it gets really interesting is in the comments. Stuart asks "What about progressive enhancement?" And Jake points out that because a ServiceWorker won't be installed on a first visit, you pretty much have to treat it as an enhancement. In fact, you'd have to go out of your way to make it a requirement:
You could, of course, throw up a splash screen and wait for the ServiceWorker to install, creating a ServiceWorker-dependant experience. I will hunt those people down.
This is a breath of fresh air: a blogging platform that promises to keep its URLs online in perpetuity.
Charles Arthur analyses the data from Google's woeful history of shutting down its services.
So if you want to know when Google Keep, opened for business on 21 March 2013, will probably shut - again, assuming Google decides it's just not working - then, the mean suggests the answer is: 18 March 2017. That's about long enough for you to cram lots of information that you might rely on into it; and also long enough for Google to discover that, well, people aren't using it to the extent that it hoped.

It stands among America's top gold record champions, selling approximately 100 million albums worldwide. Not only this, Kiss's credentials include winning a People's Choice Award and several Grammy Award nominations.

Kiss appeared on the music forefront with an unusual appearance characterized with flamboyant costumes and flashy makeup. The attention wasn't just solely credited to its amazing outlook but it was also the music, which, being an intoxicating mix of anthemic hard rock was powered by loud guitars and hot drum beats.
Kiss's formation was truly the effort of the former members of the hard rock band Wicked Lester. Paul Stanley and Gene Simmons took up their roles as guitarist and lead vocalist and brought in Peter Criss as a drummer to give the duo the shape of a band. Kiss conducted its first concert in 1973, which after a phenomenal audience response ended up in signing a deal with Casablanca Records. The band released its self-titled debut album the following year as part of the deal and received an amazing audience response. The critics reviewed the album positively as well opening doors of success for the band in the future.
Kiss started releasing albums leaving a small gap in between the launches. The moment it saw the soundtracks making their journey on the Top Music Charts, it paced up the efforts in coming up with an even better album. Its second album 'Hotter Than Hell' and third 'Dressed To Kill' were released one after the other within a short span of time. The sales figure for the albums accounted to just 75000, which wasn't up to the mark as anticipated by the band. Kiss didn't lose hope and invested their energy on what they knew they were best at, Live Performances!
The band came up with its first live album 'Alive', which happened to be an instant hit. Achieving Gold status, the release brought the breakthrough for Kiss, it was actually looking for. Not only did it bring the band into the limelight but also saved Casablanca Records from getting bankrupt.
Kiss witnessed outstanding success from the mid seventies till the end of the era featuring the release of highly successful studio albums including 'Rock and Roll Over' and 'Love Gun'. A number of hit soundtracks topped the charts and confirmed its position as an amazing glam metal band in the music industry. Changing track of work, the band members experimented by pursuing with their solo careers in the late seventies. The releases weren't disappointing at all but the magic of the members performing together was certainly missing. The band's fans didn't have to suffer its absence from stage for long and it reunited in the early eighties. It was a completely new outlook. The famous fire breathing, blood spitting and ice bombs in its live performances were all missing. Despite of this, it didn't lose on its audience at all. It was welcomed by 39,867 fans in its first concert after the reunion, making phenomenal revenue of $43.6 million.
The Kiss legacy still continues after several generations surpassing the race, creed and age. The loyalty of its fans has still kept the band's standing as the 'Hottest Band in the World' alive. Its concerts are anxiously awaited and welcomed with the same warmth as before.
Kiss recently started working on its new album and planned a mega tour on its completion. The launch has already been done and as per the plan, the concert is just around the corner. This time, it is going to appear with a different outlook without wearing any makeup! So all hard rock music lovers out there rush off and get your Kiss Tickets as soon as possible!

Plug-in (Escape Velocity)
Plug-in is the term used for the add-on files used to modify the Escape Velocity series of games by Ambrosia Software. They are similar to what is now often referred to as a "mod" for other games, but that term was not common when Escape Velocity was first created, and in any case the Macintosh development community generally prefers clearer and more accessible terminology. Another difference in the terminology is that while 'mods" often involve a certain amount of reverse-engineering of the game engine (since developers prefer to sell their own expansion packs), plug-ins are specifically authorised and facilitated by the developers.
Plug-ins are collected on the official web sites for the Escape Velocity games (or, of course, can be downloaded from a plug-in creator's own site) and are installed by placing them in the 'Plug-ins' folder within the game folder. The effects of the plug-in will be active so long as the game is run with the file in the correct folder.
The plug-in architecture takes advantage of the Macintosh resource fork, and a plug-in is composed of multiple resources, most of which are graphical or textual in nature. Each aspect of an Escape Velocity game (including the space ships, graphics for various animated items, missions, planets, and description texts for different items) is described by a different type of resource.
A special file type that 'flattens' these resources (with the file extension .rez) is used by the Windows version of EV Nova. To distinguish them from this new format, the traditional resource fork-based plug-ins are sometimes referred to by their Macintosh type code Npïf or, especially among Windows users, by the extension .rsrc which they are given by some Windows-based expansion tools.
Neither version of EV Nova can use the other's format without conversion. The Windows version includes an Npïf-to-.rez converter, which is a common source of confusion to new users. The Macintosh version does not include a converter, but third-party utilities are available to convert in both directions. Converting .rez plug-ins to Npïf on Windows is not possible, since resource forks cannot exist on Windows; this is, in fact, why the .rez format was originally required.
Plug-ins can be created or edited either by a resource editor such as ResEdit, or by a third-party editor specifically designed to edit plug-in files, such as MissionComputer. The first two Escape Velocity incarnations utilise simple templates included with the game files that can be loaded into ResEdit and used to edit the resources in a human-readable fashion. With EV Nova, these are still available, but have been superseded in general use by a set of ResEdit add-on editors called NovaTools [1], which offer a more graphical interface, and can perform necessary hexadecimal calculations which the templates left to the user's own mathematical skills.
Even with the benefit of NovaTools, however, ResEdit can prove unwelcoming to many users, and cannot run natively under Mac OS X (or at all on Windows and on Intel-based Macintoshes). There is therefore a long-standing tradition of purpose-built plug-in editors, which offer extra features and a more user-friendly interface. The present-day editors supporting EV Nova are the free MissionComputer, the shareware EVONE, the under-construction Rezilla Custom, and the Windows-only EVNEW, which is at present the only option open to Windows-based developers. Past editors which have not been updated to support subsequent games include Schmelta-V (named for Ambrosia's delta-v plug-in development mailing list), EV-Edit, EEEV (later called Override Override), EVO Developer's Map, and many others.
Alternatively, programs such as ConText and ResStore (both part of the NovaTools package) can be used to export certain types of resources into spreadsheets, where various values (such as damage dealt by a weapon) can be edited. This can be particularly useful for modifying many resources at once, as many spreadsheet programs provide the ability to fill cells. These spreadsheets can then be imported back into plug-in format.
In recent years, it has become common to use several terms to classify plug-ins, though this practice has been criticised as limiting the growth of the plug-in community:
- A total conversion usually completely replaces the game's scenario. Particularly with EV Nova, this has become the form of plug-in preferred by players and developers, though with the amount of work needed to create one, most projects fail long before producing a playable game.
- A partial conversion usually adds new ships or systems, or modifies existing ones. This was the most common type of plug-in for the original Escape Velocity, but has now been relegated to a lower stature due to the proliferation of complete new scenarios and the universal use of terms which minimise its importance.
- A cheat usually adds an outfit or ship (or both) that is extremely powerful, makes all outfits and ships purchasable, or grants money. Cheats receive little respect from the community, given their lack of originality and ease of creation, but have the merit of introducing people to the workings of the Escape Velocity engine who may thereafter go on to develop more significant works.
With developers realising the amount of work involved in creating a proper 'total conversion', derivative terms such as 'mini-TC' and 'quasi-TC' have also become common, but there are no standards for their meanings.

DETROIT -- Their defensive coordinator, Ray Rhodes, suffered a mild stroke before the start of the regular season and has had to relinquish a lot of his duties to linebackers coach John Marshall. Their starting free safety, Ken Hamlin, was lost after six games following a nightclub brawl that left him hospitalized with severe head injuries. And the Seahawks started the year with seven new defensive starters -- six of the front seven -- including an undersized rookie middle linebacker.
For most defenses, that's plenty to overcome in one season.
But it didn't stop there for Seattle. One of the team's major offseason acquisitions, linebacker Jamie Sharper, started half the season before going on injured reserve with a knee injury, forcing another rookie, LeRoy Hill, into the starting lineup. Injuries turned the left cornerback position into something of a revolving door, with Andre Dyson, Kelly Herndon and Jordan Babineaux all going in and out of the lineup.
Yet the NFC champion Seahawks still led the league in sacks (50), allowed the second-fewest points in franchise history for a non-strike year (271), and allowed one 100-yard rusher all year (Tiki Barber's 151 yards on Nov. 27).
Few outside of the Pacific Northwest could run off many of the Seahawks defenders' names; they just might be a modern-day "No-name defense." Meanwhile, the players just keep running to the football, letting their accomplishments in the face of adversity speak for themselves.
"The No. 1 thing is that they fly around," Steelers left tackle Marvel Smith said. "You look at them on film and they really make a lot of effort plays, like chasing a running back down from behind. Their defensive ends really get up the field. Their whole front seven is really fast. There may not be a lot of people who know a lot about them, and there's a lot of people sleeping on them, but we certainly know about how good they are."
Seattle's defense, led by rookie sensation Lofa Tatupu at middle linebacker ("If that guy stays healthy," Steelers right guard Kendall Simmons said, "he will be one of the best linebackers to ever play this game"), improved to a tie for 16th this season from 26th in 2004; finished fifth against the run while allowing just five rushing touchdowns; and surrendered (including the postseason) only 20 touchdown passes. The reason is simple: speed. And as a result of the defensive overhaul, the Seahawks' defense, while perhaps not the most talented unit Seattle has had, is devoid of the selfishness -- and thus the freelancing -- that held it back in years past.
"We've thrown the individual out this year," strong safety Michael Boulware said.
Defensive end Grant Wistrom said, "Guys are spending a lot more time in film study and guys are just playing the defense the way that it should be played, and that's 100 miles per hour."
For three hours or so Sunday, in Super Bowl XL, Seattle's defense has to overcome one final obstacle if the Seahawks are to deliver the franchise's first world championship. AFC champion Pittsburgh has averaged nearly 29 points during its seven-game win streak, with the offense shedding its conservative label as Ben Roethlisberger compiled a 124.8 passer rating, with seven touchdowns and one interception, in three postseason road wins.
Still, if the Seahawks are to win Sunday's game, the key, they feel, is to stop Pittsburgh's running game. Use their speed up front to penetrate the Steelers' offensive line and stop Jerome "The Bus" Bettis quickly before his wheels get going. Negate "Fast" Willie Parker's speed with that of the their linebacker corps. "The guys on the backside really have to keep the edge," Wistrom said. They must render Pittsburgh's dangerous play-action passing game ineffective by stuffing the run and putting Big Ben in third-and-long situations. "We can't let their running game get started," defensive tackle Rocky Bernard said.
Then, the Seahawks must get pressure on the passer with an undersized, but aggressive and quick defensive line rotation that can generate pressure on its own -- the group combined for 32½ of Seattle's 50 sacks -- or come with the occasional five- or six-man blitz. And they must stay with Pittsburgh's receivers if and when Roethlisberger escapes the pocket.
All easier said than done, yes. But if the Seahawks have proved anything this year, it's that there ain't no mountain high enough that their defense can't climb it.
"The Seahawks' defense is just as good as any other defense if not better," Boulware said. "We have a point to prove on Sunday. Hopefully we can get it done and get a little respect around the league."

Capone believes Arnold Schwarzenegger strikes the perfect balance of acting his age and kicking all types of ass with THE LAST STAND!!!
Published at: Jan. 18, 2013, 2:07 a.m. CST by
Hey everyone.
in Chicago here.
Rather than talk about talking about THE LAST STAND as Arnold Schwarzenegger's full-fledged return to starring roles in films (excluding his supporting/cameo roles in the EXPENDABLES movies), I'm going to try to attempt to review this as just a new action film. Having Schwarzenegger in it doesn't automatically make the movie better, especially since very little about THE LAST STAND reminds me of his older action work. His Sheriff Ray Owens is an old man (he admits as much) who moved from Los Angeles to Sommerton Junction, Arizona to get away from the death-defying violence of the big city. Unlike many of Arnold's other characters, he'd rather not get involved in any fire fights, fist fights, or car chases. He wants the worst thing he deals with in his week to be throwing drunks in the tank for a weekend.
Turns out Sheriff Owens used to lead an elite task force of the LAPD, but after a bust went bad and all of his team was killed or crippled in the process, he departed in a hurry. In the 24 hours or so that this movie takes place, most of the townsfolk are heading out of town to attend a football game, leaving Owens and his three deputies alone to mind the fort. Although the film isn't big on character development, it is nice to see Arnold kick back for the first chapter of THE LAST STAND so we can get to know his demeanor, routines, and priorities as a lawman.
But it doesn't take long for him to get a call from FBI Agent John Bannister (Forest Whitaker) that escaped federal prisoner and noted Mexican drug kingpin Gabriel Cortez (Eduardo Noriega) is heading for his bordertown in a Corvette that goes 200 mph. An advance team of baddies (led by the always insane Peter Stormare has already gone through to build makeshift bridge over a deep ravine at the border where Cortez will cross, so this is his only possible route. After the FBI fails to get a SWAT team to take out Cortez in his car (he has kidnapped an agent, played by Genesis Rodriguez, and is driving with her), it's up to the good sheriff and his deputies, including ones played by Luis Guzmán and THOR's Jaimie Alexander.
Equally important as THE LAST STAND being Schwarzenegger's big return to leading-man status, the movies is also the English-language debut of the great South Korean director Jee-woon Kim (A TALE OF TWO SISTERS; THE GOOD, THE BAD, THE WEIRD; I SAW THE DEVIL), who isn't actually known for action set pieces quite like the ones here. The film does not skimp on the blood and guts; when someone gets shot in the head, there's a big hole and lots of red spray. The hand-to-hand fights are just as brutal, especially the climactic showdown between Owens and Cortez on the aforementioned bridge. Kim keeps things rolling at an impressive pace, but also is good at giving us a few minutes to catch our breath between the shooting and other forms of destruction.
I know many action filmmakers believe a film this serious needs some comic relief, but I was in a great deal of pain every time Johnny Knoxville showed his face on screen, and I saw that as someone that tends to like him more often than not. He's just a dumb dude, who also happens to be the town gun nut. He's more a plot device than a character, and the fact that he has amassed a huge arsenal of weapons that our heroes can use to defend the town and try to stop Cortez from passing through is the only reason the character exists. Along with the town drunk and former soldier, played by Rodrigo Santoro, Knoxville is deputized during the siege and add virtually nothing to the movie.
No, the dialogue isn't that great, and far too many of the characters (including every FBI agent) is incompetent or stupid, but THE LAST STAND has quite a few excellent action sequences, some beautifully shot moments (courtesy of South Korean cinematographer Ji-yong Kim), and a solid lead performance by Schwarzenegger that keeps his one-liners to a minimum and his eye on the action. I was especially impressed visually with a car chance sequence in a corn field; the way it's handled is actually borderline inspiring. The film has its flaws and shortcomings, but I like that Arnold is beginning his true comeback playing someone who begins the film so dialed back--even if he does ramp up quickly. THE LAST STAND is a great deal of truly violent, R-rated fun, and it doesn't need to be anything more.

Posted by Melanie
I never met with this attorney, I did make an appointment however. Initially the person setting up the appointment was rude but eventually did make the appointment. Then I arrived at the office, a few minutes prior to the appointment time and was told "Mr. Sabey will be right out." I waited for 20 minutes and then his assistant finally came out and said there'd been a 'mix-up' and could I come back in an hour and thirty minutes; dithered a little bit and then amended that to the afternoon. I declined. She then said he had had car trouble and they were very sorry etc etc. I don't know what the problem is with this office but the 'professionals' I saw were dressed in very casual attire, which I did not expect in a lawyer's office and not such a large one especially. Obviously the communication is poor between co-workers because letting the receptionist know that this guy had a problem of some sort (I still don't buy the car trouble business) would have been more professional than waiting 20 minutes and then coming out to say he couldn't/wouldn't make the appointment. My matter was simple. My sympathies to anyone who comes with a complicated issue. And this office is not easy for handicapped individuals to use. You have to park in a parking garage and then there are only stairs to access the building or you can walk outside and around the block to get in the front of the building. The only door into the building from the ground level parking is locked from inside, probably to keep homeless from sleeping in the lobby or something. I was extremely dissatisfied with my experience and I will NOT recommend this firm to anyone.

The genially goofy shenanigans, incredibly corny punchlines and Hank Azaria's go-for-broke performance as the incompetent wizard Gargamel are very much the same ― an entirely welcome thing in a summer movie season full of so much apocalyptic Sturm und Drang.
Does the world need another movie about a bunch of miniature, blue-skinned humanoids with bulbous noses and perky bobtails; gnomelike creatures who wear floppy caps, live in mushrooms, and use the word "smurf" in every other sentence? Someone apparently thinks so.
Patient Adult Smurfs will be checking their watches as Excitable Child Smurfs lose themselves in the high jinks.
Filled with Smurf wholesomeness, Smurf puns and posi-Smurf messages about never giving up "on family," The Smurfs 2 still sucks Smurfberries.
In the '80s, I hated Ronald Reagan, Bob Dylan and the Smurfs. It's comforting to know I got one thing right.
There's so much torture and suffering in this movie, it starts to feel like "Zero Dark Smurfy."

I'mOK been waiting for months for The Smurfs 2 finally arrived at the land of smiles (just about the most fitting place for Smurfs to live!)
I'm pretty disappointed in this movie as a big smurf fan I'll go straight to the point for the good the bad and the verdict.
The Good:
-Improvements in cinematography,it's far more colorful this time around and the camera tricks works brilliantly at most part lighting is about right not too bright and not even one scene look dimmed.
-Good voice acting...ok for the most part Jonathan Winters did a swansong and each voice actors actually playing against each other now.
-It got THE HAPPY ENDING,just perfect! too bad it's the best scene in the movie (because it's ending...)
-The cuteness and chemistry between Clumsy Vanity and Grouchy is literally off the chart!
The Bad:
-Inconsistent pacing,it actually all over the place the movie takes way too long to starts and by the time you starts to really get along with the lovely blue buddies you realized it took over an hour mark by that point which is just about the same time movie starts to slow itself down and it drags pretty badly.
-Very predictable story just like the recent Doraemon movies Smurfs 2 story is all too obvious to the point that i can see what's going to happen next right away coupled with inconsistent pacing makes it a pretty boring movie for anyone above 9 years of age.
-Messy dialogue often I find the smurfs are way too talkative at the wrong time like a very emotional climatic moment and that's just ruined the moment,everybody tries too hard to steal other smurfs spotlight with series of one liners way too often which is very annoying and it goes one through the whole movie.
-Oh poor Azrael it's unnecessary to have him at all in the movie since all i see him doing is just fooling around and just there to get beaten for 40 minutes this is just wrong I know he's a bad cat but damn why
it always have to him to take the beating?
-Bunch of bad jokes wasted on so many potentially good scenes it interfered the flow leading to its inconsistent pacing.
-Unfunny Garmagel He just...bored and tired just like Hank Azaria he just stopped being funny and even
worse stopped being a charismatic villain which we all knew him for.
The Verdict:
It's an OK movie for kids pretty boring for adults it just more of the same with the added family elements which is pretty forced and mostly ineffective to most audiences at least they got good message for kids unlike the first movie which it got nothing and The Smurfs 2 fortunately starts to really shines...just few minutes before the credits roll...
You want The proper smurfs movie look somewhere else stick to both of Sony's recent mini-movies and you watch that you'll realize you just wasted 100+ minutes on the disgrace to the smurfs franchise.… Expand

Danish report on nanomaterials concludes no current risk
24 August 2011 / Denmark
The Danish Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has conducted a literature review examining current knowledge on the environmental and health risks of exposure to the most widely used nanomaterials, concluding that to date no significant risks have been linked to the use of these substances.
The report evaluates seven nanomaterials used in consumer products, selected on the basis of their application volumes, potential human and environmental exposure and expected persistence or bioaccumulation. These are:
- Titanium dioxide
- Cerium dioxide
- Fullerenes
- Silver
- Iron
- Silicon dioxide
- Nanoclay
It concludes that, based on current uses, nano-iron and nanoclay do not carry any health or environmental risk. For the other five materials, gaps in current knowledge mean there are areas that require further research before the risk potential can be fully evaluated, according to the Danish EPA.
The report was written by researchers from the consultant group COWI and Technical University of Denmark (DTU).
