The Chase is back, or so we thought.
Never have so many celebrated a good man's misfortune. But Jimmie Johnson's bad day at Texas Motor Speedway meant a championship battle might suddenly appear after all.
It was hope renewed for Mark Martin, who chopped 111 points off Johnson's lead.
While I hate to be the bearer of bad tidings, I have some disappointing news. Fact is, this Chase remains pretty hopeless.
Things looked good Sunday night, but looks can be deceiving. Martin still has a daunting task ahead if he hopes to catch his Hendrick Motorsports teammate for the Sprint Cup title.
Martin is 73 points behind Johnson heading to Phoenix this weekend, which sounds a lot better than the 184-point deficit he took to Fort Worth.
Now comes that bad part I was talking about: Only once in NASCAR history has a driver won the championship when he trailed the leader by at least 73 points with two races to go.
That's one time in 60 years of stock-car racing.
The only man to pull if off was Alan Kulwicki. He was third in the 1992 standings, 85 points behind leader Bill Elliott with two events remaining. Kulwicki edged Elliott and Davey Allison to win the crown in the final race.
So looking at it from the glass-half-full philosophy, it did happen just 17 years ago. But the man trailing in the standings toward the end hasn't fared well over the years.
A trailing driver with two races to go has come back to win the championship only three times in NASCAR history. And one of those doesn't really count.
Dale Earnhardt is the only man besides Kulwicki to do it in the modern era (since 1972). Earnhardt was 45 points back in 1990 with two events left, but came back to win the championship.
And the man he passed to do it? A 31-year-old Martin, who was competing in his third season for Jack Roush's team.
The other time it happened was 1950, NASCAR's second season. Fireball Roberts moved past Bill Rexford for the points lead in a race at Martinsville, Va.
But Rexford wasn't there. He was racing later that day in Winchester, Ind., and regained the top spot. Officially, Roberts led the standings for a few hours with two races to go.
So it's a rare feat for any driver to win the title when he's behind with two races to go.
One driver did come back with one to go. Richard Petty led the standings with two races left in his 1979 championship, but Darrell Waltrip held a 2-point lead entering the final race at Ontario, Calif. Petty finished fifth and Waltrip was eighth to give Petty the title by 11 points.
"We race the races," Kurt Busch said after his victory at Texas, pulling up to 171 behind Johnson. "We don't do it off paper. The other guys feel like [Johnson] is vulnerable now. Who knows? His game has changed. They definitely have to look over their shoulder."
Johnson didn't sound too worried about it after his 38th-place finish Sunday.
"I hate that we gave up all these points, but it's just one of those things,'' Johnson said afterward. "We're going to two great tracks for us [Phoenix and Homestead] and we'll just keep racing."
History says Johnson is safe. But at least we're talking about Martin's chances instead of wondering whether Johnson will clinch the championship one week early.
* * *
The start-and-park cars are bad enough in Sprint Cup, but it's an absolute embarrassment in the Nationwide Series.
Six drivers called it a day Saturday at Texas Motor Speedway before completing 10 laps. Mark Green and Dennis Setzer took their cars to the garage after two laps. Terry Cook and Johnny Chapman put it on the trailer after four laps.
Could you guys at least fake better and make it a little less obvious that you have no intention of actually competing in the event?
Only 33 drivers raced more than 50 laps of the 200-lap event at TMS. All 10 of those cars left with some type of "mechanical" failure.
The No. 49 Chevy of Jay Robinson Racing is one example of how ridiculous this is. The team has started 28 events his year. It has failed to finish in the last 26, completing less than 50 laps in 23 of those races.
But there are a few admirable exceptions, like 68-year-old Morgan Shepherd at Texas.
Shepherd raced as hard as he could as long as he could. He has a shoestring budget and hoped to take the car he raced at Texas straight to Phoenix in one piece.
Shepherd could have guaranteed it by doing what so many others did by making a meaningless lap or two and shipping out. But Shepherd raced 103 laps before being involved in an accident. He deserves a huge pat on the back.
Every team says it does the best it can with the resources it has. But trying to maintain the illusion of a 43-car field isn't fooling anyone.
NASCAR should take a serious look at reducing the starting field next season to eliminate teams from pretending to race to pick up a check.

Nominated by their nursing colleagues, the 2012 Nurse.com Nursing Excellence Awards class was among the largest pools of nominees in the long history of the awards, according to Eileen Williamson, RN, MSN, senior vice president and CNE, Gannett Healthcare Group, publisher of Nurse.com.
"Nurse.coms Nursing Excellence program, a vital part of our company mission for nearly two decades, has become the largest of its kind in the nation," Williamson said.
The awards, sponsored nationally by The Johnson & Johnson Campaign for Nursings Future and the University of Phoenix College of Nursing, begins with colleagues nominating nurses in six categories for regional events. Regional winners advance to a pool of national finalists, from whom a winner is chosen in each category. This year, a Boston nurse is among the national winners.
Advancing and Leading the Profession
Patricia Dykes, RN, DNSc, MA, FAAN, FACMI, Haley Nurse Scientist and senior nurse researcher,
Brigham and Womens Hospital, Boston
As a nurse scientist, Dykes said her drive and primary goals are to improve patient care by making it easier for nurses and other team members to provide evidence-based care. A leading researcher in fall prevention and health information technology, Dykes influences nursing practice at Brigham and Womens Hospital and around the world.
Dykes recent study examining whether a fall prevention toolkit using health information technology decreases patient falls in hospitals was published in the Journal of the American Medical Association. It was conducted in four urban hospitals and indicated the use of a fall prevention toolkit in hospital units, compared with usual care, significantly reduced the rate of falls.
Dykes is among a select group of nurses inducted into both the American Academy of Nursing and the Academy College of Medical Informatics. She also is one of only a few nurses with a prestigious appointment at Harvard Medical School.
For nurses interested in building research programs, Dykes suggests finding mentors willing to guide them. "All of my most worthy accomplishments were cultivated by my mentors," she said. "Continue your education so that you have the foundation you need to conduct rigorous research. Remember that no matter how much education and experience you have, you still need to partner with nurses, other providers and patients to ensure that the interventions you wish to study will fit with the workflow and will be adopted, so they can ultimately improve patient care."
Other national winners included Melissa Browning, APRN, DNP, CCNS, critical care clinical nurse specialist, Rush University Medical Center, Chicago (Clinical Care Inpatient); Elaine L. Smith, RN, EdD, MSN, ANEF, MBA, NEA-BC, vice president, system nursing education, Institute for Nursing, North Shore-LIJ Health System, New Hyde Park, N.Y. (Education and Mentorship); Peter Dennehy, ACRN, Department of Public Health, San Francisco (Home, Community and Ambulatory Care); Michele Zucconi, RN, MSN, CCRN, administrative director, Heart and Vascular Care Center, South Jersey Healthcare, Vineland, N.J. (Patient and Staff Management); and Jonas Nguh, RN, PhD, MSN, MHSA, past director of nursing, University of the District of Columbia, Washington, D.C. (Volunteerism and Service).

Publication: The Saratogian
Date: February 2, 2012
Author: Phil Drew
SCHENECTADY — The art of collaboration in jazz is a delicate thing. The right combination of performers can make all the difference — not just in the who, but in the how.
Noted Grammy-winning saxophonist Branford Marsalis is a case in point. His performance Friday night at Proctors Theatre will mark his first appearance in the region in several years, and it will feature both the familiar Branford Marsalis Quartet and a newer duet with pianist Joey Calderazzo.
In 1998, the delicate balance of the quartet was briefly disrupted by the sudden death of pianist Kenny Kirkland. His subsequent replacement by Calderazzo was a seamless transition for the foursome, which also includes bassist Eric Revis and drummer Jeff "Train" Watts. That temporary imbalance opened Marsalis' eyes to new possibilities.
"To me, my favorite jazz musicians are like good talk-show radio hosts," Marsalis said. "A good talk-show host has to know a little bit about a lot of things and be able to talk about them with some knowledge. Over the years, Joey has developed. He knows all the modern stuff. He's also fluent with the classics, with Brahms and Schumann. It shows in the |lyricism of the songs he writes. We have so many options in how we play now." Read more »

Women Earn Win and Tie in Duluth
The St. Cloud State University women's hockey team hit the road again this weekend for a WCHA series with the Bulldogs of Minnesota Duluth. The Huskies were hungry for more conference points and fed the void taking home four of six points.
The Huskies got the weekend started Friday night in the second period as Julia Gilbert netted a goal just as the Husky power play expired to make the score 1-0. Before the buzzer in the second has ended the Huskies scored three more goals to make the tally 4-0.
Early in the third period the Bulldogs scored to make it 4-1 but SCSU battled on. The Huskies goaltender Julie Friend was solid between the pipes and helped SCSU skate to a 4-1 victory and earns three WCHA points. Friend made 52 saves in the victory and has earned the title of Defensive Player of the Week by the WCHA.
Saturday's game was a closer contest with no score after one period of play. The second period would see a surge in special team action. The Bulldogs scored with the advantage to make it a 1-0 game. The Huskies were unable to capitalize on multiple chances before the horn sounded for intermission.
The third period was much like the previous two featuring back and forth play. It wasn't until the 19:38 mark that the Huskies, Julia Gilbert would score. Gilbert's goal ruined the Bulldogs hope of a regulation victory with 22 seconds left. The game went through overtime without a winner. Minnesota Duluth prevailed in the shoot out to earn the extra conference point.
With the successful weekend the women's team is now 1-6-3 overall on the season with a 1-5-2 conference record. They host the University of Minnesota this weekend in a pair of games. Both start at 3:07 p.m. Listen to the Friday afternoon game on 88.1 FM KVSC. Saturday will be game two of the series at 3:07 p.m. listen to the game on the KVSC Sports Stream.

Hey, I've just found your plugin, which is pretty much what I was looking for. One option I'm missing though, is being able to disable the results showing, so the voters aren't able to see it and just get a message instead, "Thanks for voting." or something.
I thought about removing that stuff in the code, but aren't sure if those changes will stay untoched if I update the plugin.

Opening are just the collected wisdom of those who have gone before and tried to find the best moves. If you know some opening theory, that's good, but you need to know WHY you are playing the moves.
If you know what you should be trying to do in the typical positions that arise from an opening then you should be able to find a good move if your opponent deviates from what the book says he should do.
In general, it's best to stick with general principles, unless you are absolutely sure that the specific position you are in justifies breaking them.
you can try wikipedia. they have pretty good resources on French Defence & Sicillian Defence.
Why were you attacking a pawn with a knight anyway? Pawns can easily be sacrificed, you're knight was going to do no harm by itself up there! Thats what created the fork, I know sometimes attack is the best form of defense but sometimes its wise to retreat.
Laters bro
[I] have come across very unusual or dare i say seemingly innacurate lines, which have completely thrown me from the start.
You're learning one reason why it's not so productive to study opening variations until your rating's quite a bit higher. Studying opening principles makes more sense.
Do I continue with opening principles, i.e development of minor pieces, not moving a developed piece twice etc, when i come across these, or should i try to take advantage of what i think is a bad move.
Glenn Wilson is a very strong chess player and I like the way he describes how to play the opening, which you can find here. Taking advantage of the bad move would be following his opening principles in many cases. :)
anyone know any good books/resources looking at the theory behind openings such as sicillian and french defence?
I know of a great online lesson that explains the ideas behind the French and Sicilian defenses and you can find it here. You might also try playing through a few master vs master or master vs amateur games in your opening.
SonofPearl, couldn't have said it better myself.
Are you really Bobby Fischer???
The best concept against strange lines for me has been first as myself what does this move actualy try to do? i dont panic! i just try to find the reason if i cant really find one that seems practical to me then i just continue along the same basic principles if u try to play like them and deviate to much u will put yourself in more trouble then u want because u r now in unformilar land pls excuse my terrible spelling ok but u get the idea thats what normaly works for me . u dont need huge depth to play openings when your learning only when u become really good at general principles and understand the nature of the openings in general and in the particular opening and thats about 1800+ i believe. A nice book on that i personaly liked was winning chess openings by:- yasser seirawan . the moves dont go deaper then about 6 moves and he shows u the general idea behind the moves very well . Well thats just one book of course. so hope this helped alittle mate. Keep thinking like your doing and asking these questions i can see u could be a very good chess player one day.....

Police were confronted with a "horrific" scene when they
arrived at a southeast Queensland home where a woman and girl
had been stabbed to death, investigators say.
Detective Inspector Paul McCusker says police and paramedics
were called to the house, in the Toowoomba suburb of Newtown,
at 9.20am (local time).
"Quite obviously it's a quite distressing state for police to
arrive ... and to find this horrific scene," he told
reporters in Toowoomba this afternoon.
Det Insp McCusker said a male who resided at the Redwood
Street home was assisting police.
Officers have not confirmed media reports that the man called
police himself to say he had stabbed his mother and
12-year-old sister.
The street has been roped off and detectives are scouring the

Gunther: I hope not. It's a rivalry game, for heaven's sake. I understand that players need to keep things under control during the game, but there is no need to tell adults in the stands how to act. No one cares about the score from a Colorado State or San Diego State game, but everyone remembers the rivalry game. They remember the big plays and the score every year.
Dyer: I hope so. We talk about this on our show and a lot of the stuff that happens at Rice-Eccles is uncalled for and inappropriate. I call on Utah fans to make this rivalry game a lot better. There will always be the one guy that ruins it for everyone on both sides.
What is your most memorable rivalry moment?
Gunther: Unfortunately, both years that I played down there in Provo we lost. But I remember in 2007 in the 4th and 19 game, the fans gave me the business in the politest way possible. One little kid kept saying, "Hey Ute, you stink." And I was like, "Yeah, I do. I am playing football and sweating." Another guy leaned over the railing and said, "Nice beer gut, Gunther." He called me by name. We had some incredible games in Lavell Edwards Stadium, but my favorite memories are of the incredibly kind grief I got from the fans.
Dyer: There have been a lot of memories, both good and bad. I would have to say last year was is the most memorable because it is so recent. The team was really down and just seemed like the air had gone out, and then Burton blocked that kick and it was just an amazing finish.
BYU fans see Rice-Eccles Stadium as a hostile place to play. Do Ute fans feel the same way about Lavell Edwards Stadium?
Gunther: Lavell Edwards Stadium is a hostile place to play because of how loud it gets. I would rank it up there as one of the three loudest places I have ever played. It is not hostile in terms of the fans because they are so dang nice. It is really creepy when some old guy greets you at the entrance to the stadium, shakes your hand and wishes you good luck against his team. It's also awkward because they have no caffeine in that place. If I don't get my coffee in the morning I can get pretty hostile. Maybe that is what they need at Lavell Edwards Stadium to make their fans hostile.
Dyer: I think you get a mixed perspective. It certainly is a tough place to play football because the fans are really loud. I have not been to any games at Lavell Edwards Stadium except for the rivalry games, but I have to think the place is a little louder when the crimson and cream come to town. From a visiting fan perspective, most BYU fans are pretty nice, but I hate that me being loud and cheering for my team is taken as a personal insult to BYU fans.
Does the routine change in Ute camp for the game against BYU?
Gunther: The routine changes in very minor ways. Usually during any given week at Utah the TVs show whatever sporting events are on ESPN. During rivalry week Coach Whittingham plays a highlight reel of all the great Utah plays in the rivalry game from the past. Players like Kautai Olevao blowing up Ronnie Jenkins or Paul Kruger picking off Max Hall; I think he is still open.
Urban Meyer was really out there when he was at Utah putting Cosmo the Cougar pictures in the urinals and putting BYU jerseys by the door for us to walk over when we left the building. Coach Whittingham has been much classier in how he manages that.
Dyer: Ute fans are not as amped for this one. We were up at the press conference today and it seems like the Utes are playing this game down. BYU fans in contrast seem excited about the game. One thing is for certain: It doesn't have a typical rivalry feel. There just isn't the passion there.
What has been learned about this Utah team after their first Pac-12?
Gunther: I think we have learned that Utah has some playmakers emerging and that their defense is very much as good as we thought they would be, especially at stopping the run. I think Utah has the athletes and can compete in the Pac-12, I just think they are not deep enough yet. I think they are just a few good recruiting classes away.

WebMD Special Report: Autism - Searching for Answers
Autism-Vaccine Link: Evidence Doesn't Dispel Doubts
Vaccine-Autism Disconnect: Meet Ethyl and Methyl
Recently, basic assumptions about thimerosal have come into question that may further confuse any links to autism.
Thimerosal contains ethyl mercury. The government's assessments of health risks for thimerosal are based on what is known about another chemical form of mercury, called methyl mercury.
The health assessments for methyl mercury are based on exposure by eating or drinking it. Warnings about eating certain kinds of fish, for example, are all about fish contaminated with methyl mercury.
Thimerosal, on the other hand, isn't eaten; When experts called for reducing and removing thimerosal from vaccines in 1999, they assumed that methyl mercury and ethyl mercury were pretty much the same, and the health risks may be the same even though the way children are exposed is different. A study published in the journal Pediatrics in January 2008 shows that ethyl mercury leaves children's blood faster than methyl mercury does, so the health risks may not be the same.
However, while it left the blood quickly, it doesn't necessarily mean it left the body. While the study did show that the mercury did not damage the kidneys, for instance, it didn't look at other organs.
Vaccines and Autism: Other Studies Under Way
Sue Swedo, MD, chief of the pediatric and developmental neuropsychiatry branch of the National Institute of Mental Health, says federal researchers have not closed the door to looking at whether vaccination might, in rare cases, be linked to autism.
The strongest case for a link comes from children with regressive autism -- children who seem to be developing normally, but who then lose the social and language skills they had developed and slide into autism. To parents, such children seem to have been the victims of some environmental toxin. As this regression occurs at the same time children receive multiple vaccines, many wonder whether vaccines might carry such a toxin.
"Our studies of regressive autism are taking a very shotgun approach to environmental factors in autism," Swedo tells WebMD. "We are saying we don't really know right now whether such factors might be involved."

Christmas is one of the best times of the year for both kid and family movies. I think one of the challenges each year is being able to find and remember what all those movies are each year. And I know the thought crosses my mind each year that surely there is some "gem" of a kid's Christmas movie that I haven't seen or heard about yet. So to help with that I've tried to create a list to help with this as we're entering into this season. This list is focused on purely animated or cartoon movies (in no particular order). I also included links to Amazon so that you can read others reviews about the movies as well. Enjoy!
List of Animated Christmas Movies
How the Grinch Stole Christmas
Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer
Classic Cartoon Favorites, Vol. 9 – Classic Holiday Stories (Mickey, Minnie, Donald, Daisy and more!)
Mickey's Once Upon A Christmas
The Polar Express (a personal favorite)
Disney's A Christmas Carol (Jim Carrey)
Highly Recommend!
The Happy Elf (2005)
This was a movie that I came upon by searching through Amazon one year. It is surprisingly cheap (you can pick it up for less than $2) but it is a family favorite now year after year. You can see for yourself after reading all the reviews, it's a REALLY great Christmas movie that I don't think most people are even aware of!
Christmas Specials for TV
A Flintstones Christmas Carol (1994)
Mr. Magoo's Christmas Carol (2007)

I decided to change the layout of my site today (the other one was kind of dull). Now I don't know what happened, but when my posts are clicked, or even other pages of the site it doesn't go to them.
Top of the browser shows "Nothing found for Blog Index Php "permalink here". My site is http://all-notions.com you can go there and click a post or a page and see what it does.
All I did after switching themes so far was add a few links to the footer, change the banner at top to Google Adsense, change the color of my RSS counter button, and edit the text in the gray box on top of the sidebar.
I tried switching to a totally different theme and it does the same thing. I even uploaded the theme (StudioPress) again through the FTP software, still didn't fix it.
Help, I was having a good day with traffic, now they won't be able to use the site!

SMART MECHANICSneomatik—new timepieces with the caliber of the new generation.
All the time in the worldWhether in Denver, Moskau, or Alaska—Tangomat GMT knows the time anywhere in the world.
Ahoi, sailors!Sporty, bigger, and waterproof up to 200 meters—the perfect watch for the summer is called Ahoi.
Almost all NOMOS watches are available in larger or smaller sizes to suit every wrist. For example, the commemorative Orion 1989 with its diamond polished, November gray dial: seen here on her (in 33mm) and on him (in 38mm).
Does NOMOS build sporty watches? Yes, of course—and at the same time, watches for everything else too. Looking for watches that are a touch more robust and striking? This way please.
Metro is taking home one award after the other. Click here to listen to Berlin-based designer Mark Braun explain to you what makes the watch he created so special.
We are good at making watches, but journalists have other talents: "Even Apple is keeping a close eye," wrote the FAZ. Read here what else the media is saying about NOMOS Glashütte.
Following the success of the 1st edition, neomatik is now available in series. Whether Tangente, Metro, or Tetra—find your favorite neomatik watch here.
Before our watches leave our workshops they are put through over 50 highly stringent quality controls. In the end, each watch goes on a carousel ride that lasts several days. What else must our watches experience? Visit us on Instagram to find out.
DUW 3001 is the new automatic caliber from NOMOS Glashütte. Our tenth in-house movement, it makes the watches of the neomatik series tick with utmost accuracy—and look extraordinarily slim and elegant too.
Just having been distinguished as the "Best Brand in Luxury," NOMOS Glashütte has now won the "Red Dot: Best of the Best" Award for its Minimatik model. Click here for more.
The extension of the watchmaking company NOMOS Glashütte was supported by funds from the European Union.

WASHINGTON DC – An ugly rainy day and a tough one from a scheduling point of view. I dashed down to DC this morning for some meetings, and had a car drive me back for a working dinner in New York (air transport ion between NY and DC is chaotic in bad weather). I brought my Leica but didn't have much of an opportunity to use it. This is out the window of the car in a part of DC that doesn't seem to have a name.
Dandelions. A tough subject. If you print the yellow the way it really looks it tends to blow out the detail. This year the dandelions has come and gone – the season is three or four weeks earlier than it was last year.

I'm trying out Duplicator to clone a blog. I've made a package and downloaded it, it appears to be a valid zip file. But I can't find the install.php file anywhere. I'm assuming it should be downloaded into the the same folder as the package.zip? It's not visible there or in the snapshots folder on the server.
Am I missing something obvious?

"Why do giant monsters eat people? Human beings are mostly water. Their tissues and fluids retain flavors and other residues from their blood. Their bones have a brittle quality. Their skin is warm and pliant. Thirst-quenching, well-seasoned, crunchy and yet chewy: People are the Elvis of snack food."A character is Monster Munch if they're only there to be killed — and often eaten, hence the trope name — by whatever it is that's lurking in the shadows. Their death usually comes within a scene or two of their introduction, and it's literally the first thing of importance that they contribute to. Often, springing out at them is actually how the monster is discovered by the protagonists or revealed to the audience. Or else it's how we find out that the Killer Rabbit is not your average fluffy bunny, or just to demonstrate exactly what horrible way it kills you. Whatever the circumstances, the only point of their death, and therefore of their existence, is to show off the monster. This trope differs from Sacrificial Lamb in that the death isn't to provoke an emotional response (although it may do that) from characters or the audience, but for more practical purposes. Simply dying to tell us about the monster doesn't fulfill this trope: a character is only Monster Munch if they have no other role than as a snack. This character is often a Red Shirt (or sometimes a Mook, because monsters rarely have any allegiances to anyone and aren't always particularly discerning). The distinction is that in this trope the character is killed by a monster or animal for 'animal' reasons, typically for food. They needn't be literally eaten to fulfill this trope, though: the creature in question might, for instance, drink their blood, or lay eggs in them (although this is unlikely to qualify unless it's a very short gestation). Note: In the United Kingdom, there actually is a popular type of snack called Monster Munch, but this trope isn't about that, although it is where the idea for the name came from.

Anime & Manga
- Attack on Titan: The majority of the 104th Trainee Corps, outside the Top 10. Erwin notes they are unusual for having suffered their first casualties prior to enlisting in their chosen Branches.
- When the T-rex gets loose in San Diego in The Lost World: Jurassic Park, there's a brief shot of a random civilian being eaten. He was never seen before, and presumably not since. For added humor, he's played by the film's screenwriter (given how unpopular this film was, this could be seen as his "punishment").
- In Jurassic World, we have a double header example when the Mosasaurus chomps down on both an angry Pteranodon AND the unfortunate secretary in its talons. This may be intended to be foreshadowing, given the fact that the Mosasaurus ends up killing the film's antagonist.
- Played with in Galaxy Quest. In the original TV show, Guy Fleegman played a One-Scene Wonder Red Shirt who "got eaten by a lava monster before the first commercial." Because of this, he spends most of the movie freaking out that this is precisely what's going to happen to him (especially given that no one seems to know his last name). By the end, though, he's willing to make a Heroic Sacrifice to save the ship and the Thermians, and Fred points out that maybe he was really the Plucky Comic Relief all along. In the end, not only does he survive, but when the show is uncancelled, he's recast as the Security Chief.
- Sirs Bors, Gawain, and Ector in Monty Python and the Holy Grail are introduced in the "Tim the Enchanter" scene for no other purpose than to be killed by the Killer Rabbit. Ector and Gawain aren't even named until after the rabbit kills them.
- During the arena execution scene in Attack of the Clones, one of the Geonosian picadors pokes the nexu with electro-pike. The nexu gets pissed off, pounces, and eats him.
- The three punks at the beginning of The Terminator are there solely to establish the ruthlessness of the antagonist (and provide him with some clothes).
- The prologue of A Game of Thrones features three characters, two of whom immediately die at the hands of the Others, proving that they do exist after all (the third one escapes... only to be summarily executed for desertion). Somewhat subverted in that they both come back as wights, so this isn't, strictly speaking, their only role.
- Ensign Davis in the prologue of Redshirts exists purely to be eaten by a Borgovian Land Worm. Another unnamed ensign got eaten by an ice shark off-screen. Since the book's premise is turning the titular trope inside-out, the presence of Monster Munch shouldn't be surprising.
- Referenced in one of the Discworld books, where the narrator discusses the necessity of figuring out in advance whether you are indeed The Hero destined to slay the big scary troll, or if you're one of the people who get killed effortlessly in order to raise the threat level for when the actual hero shows up. Or, indeed, whether you're the sneaky, annoying human who gets flattened by the heroic troll (trolls have fairy tales too!)
- In the Nemesis Saga, 90% of the side characters get nommed by the titular giant monster the moment the reader starts caring about them.
Live Action TV
- A young Carmine Giovinazzo in the very first episode of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, who pretty much is only there to be killed by the vampire and is credited only as "Boy".
- Supernatural's Cold Opening usually involves a random civilian being killed in spectacular fashion (and often eaten) by the Monster of the Week.
- Star Trek: The Original Series. While Red Shirts died in great numbers on this show, they were sometimes killed by the Monster of the Week, often in the first scene.
- "Obsession". A couple of red shirt security personnel are drained of blood and killed by the vampire cloud in the opening scene.
- "The Devil in the Dark". Two miners and an Enterprise Security man are destroyed by the Horta's acid secretions, one in the first scene.
- ''Wolf in the Fold". Several women are slaughtered by the "Jack the Ripper" entity during the episode. One of them died before the opening credits.
- Various small mammals in Dinosaurs existed only to be the dinosaurs' food, even though they were sentient and sometimes had dialogue.
- LOST. The Pilot gets killed by The Monster right after he is seen. The only other thing he does that's important is always wear a ring, and that only briefly comes up in Season 4.
- Happens every so often in Doctor Who (especially nuWho, which has the credits run about five minutes into the episode) and more often than not we don't get to see the monster.
- The X-Files LOVES this trope, especially in its Monster of the Week episodes, so listing all of the examples from there would make this page too long.
Tabletop Games
- In Traveller Double Adventure 5: The Chamax Plague, one of the NPCs who accompanies the PCs on their mission is Cal Yotisk. The referee is encouraged to use him as the first victim of the alien Chamax to show the PCs what they're up against.
- Basic Dungeons & Dragons supplement GAZ1 The Grand Duchy of Karameikos, adventure "Toys of the Madman". The PCs and a few NPCs are kidnapped and placed in a dungeon. Some of the NPCs are there to be killed and eaten by monsters to show the PCs what they're up against.
- In Warhammer 40,000, the necrons were introduced by having them wipe out an entire convent of Sisters of Battle, Sanctuary 101. Fits here because in that edition the necrons existed purely to kill any living thing they came across.
Video Games
- Lester and Sarge in StarCraft. They're a pair of luckless Confederate troops who appear in a single cutscene that ends with them being killed offscreen by a pack of zerglings and hydralisks, although they get a Call Back in StarCraft II.
- In the second level of Half-Life 2 the Combine start headcrab-shelling the outskirts of City 17 to try and kill Gordon. At one point you get to watch as a headcrab latches on to a civilian's head and turns it into a zombie (or Mercy Kill him before he gets assimilated, whichever floats your boat).
- Cooper, the radio man in the first Dino Crisis, doesn't even make it through the opening cinematic before a T-Rex snarfs him down like a bonbon.
- While Star Trek Online normally avoids this, unlike the source material, the PVE event "Hive: Onslaught" has one. In a cutscene, the Odyssey-class starship USS Houston gets one-shotted by a Borg Unimatrix's plasma lance purely to show off the extra One-Hit Kill attack the devs gave the thing for this PVE.
- Stanley is this to Tubba Blubba in Paper Mario 64.
Western Animation
- Parodied in Gravity Falls with Gorney, who literally first appears seconds after the Summerween Trickster and gets eaten to prove the Trickster isn't all bark and no bite. Subverted when he survived to happily declare "I've been traumatized!"

Hi folks,
I'm having quite a bit of trouble with installing themes on WP Multisite, which I've never come across before.
Basically, I install a brand new, clean version of WPMU and all seems fine. I can install a few themes at this point and they tend to work ok.
But then, later on, perhaps days later, once I've started working on the rest of the site and put up a few pages and posts, it all goes wrong. When I install a few extra themes, simply by copying them into the themes folder as normal, wordpress just wont find them. I've checked and double checked they're in the right place - I've worked with single-site WP for a while now so I've got a good idea of how it all works - and all seems absolutely fine, but WP just wont recognise that they're there.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated - it's driving me crazy...

I'm not sure about that yet. I'll definitely try to make it happen, but can't quarantee anything yet. Haven't touched the saving part yet, going to get the actual creating of items working first.

First Southern completes buyback of TARP shares
BOCA RATON, Fla. First Southern Bancorp said Friday that it bought back all the preferred stock it issued to the Treasury Department in exchange for federal bailout aid and it has exited the Troubled Asset Relief Program, or TARP.
The privately held bank paid the government $11.5 million, including a final dividend payment of about $51,000. The bank's total dividend payments under the program were $818,000.
The five-branch First Southern Bank's parent company was one of hundreds of U.S. banks that participated in TARP and received cash investments from the Treasury Department in exchange for preferred stock at the height of the financial crisis.
The government committed $700 billion of taxpayer funds to help banks under the so-called Troubled Asset Relief Program, or TARP. Hundreds of U.S. banks participated and received cash investments from the Treasury Department in exchange for preferred stock.
Earlier this month, Treasury said the total funds repaid had reached $194 billion, more than the $190 million still outstanding. Another $23 billion was paid to Treasury through dividends.
The program officially ends in October.

Michael Jackson: The Moment That Made Him The King Of Pop
I don't think there's ever been anyone harder to write about than Michael Jackson. On the one hand, he was brilliantly talented. On the other hand, he gave every appearance of having destroyed himself.
On the one hand, there were allegations about him that were horrifying. On the other hand, he did nonsense things that were hard not to find amusingly bizarre. (The chimp, and so forth.)
I'm not sure this is one where, in remembering his life, there's such a thing as "putting aside what he did offstage" — simply because his offstage life has so thoroughly dominated his performing career for so many years, in such powerful ways.

Fred Couples knocked one down the fairway. Greg Norman tried to cut one around the dogleg. Couples laid up and played it safe. Norman took a mighty hack and went for the green. Couples lagged one to tap-in range. Norman ensured he wouldn't leave it short.
Stars and Stripes
When the 2009 Presidents Cup begins at Harding Park in San Francisco on Oct. 8, Phil Mickelson, Tiger Woods and Jim Furyk will be the elder statesmen of the American squad.

|** 2009 captain's pick
You get the idea. In announcing their wild-card selections, the rival Presidents Cup captains employed two very different strategies when filling out their rosters.
The final four players were announced on Tuesday at the National Press Club in Washington, D.C., as Couples named past team members Lucas Glover and Hunter Mahan to the United States squad and Norman pulled a pair of mild shockers in choosing Ryo Ishikawa and Adam Scott for the International team.
Couples, a big-time sports fan, made picks akin to filling out a bracket sheet with the No. 1 seeds advancing to the finals.
The reigning U.S. Open champion, Glover wasn't just a lock, he was a steel trap protected by a dead bolt. In addition to his victory at Bethpage, the 29-year-old owns four other top-five results this season. Let's put it this way: If Freddie had failed to pick Glover, he should have had his captain's license revoked.
In fact, Glover was such a no-brainer that Couples told him he'd made the team after the PGA Championship -- more than three weeks before the official announcement was released.
The second pick wasn't as easy. Longtime pro Scott Verplank became a viable option after finishing T-2 at the Deutsche Bank Championship on Monday, joining a list of candidates that likely included Heath Slocum (Barclays champion), Brian Gay (two wins this year), Nick Watney (Buick Invitational winner), Ryan Moore (recent winner in Greensboro) and Dustin Johnson (who made a late charge thanks to some strong recent results). The one common bond for each player in this final fivesome? They are all PGA Tour champions this season.
The same can't be said for Mahan, who in fact owns only one career title, which came back at the 2007 Travelers Championship.

So why did he get the job? Mahan already owns team experience, having played in the Ryder Cup last year and the Presidents Cup one year earlier. Plus, he's a birdie machine (third on tour this year), which will serve him well in the match-play format.
There's no doubt the 27-year-old is among the most talented players around, but Johnson owns one trait that may have been truly beneficial at Harding Park -- the ability to crush it off the tee. As the third-ranked player on the PGA Tour's driving distance list (307.7 yards), Johnson's length would have been an asset at the venue that played into the hands of the big bombers when it hosted a WGC event four years ago. In that event, Tiger Woods prevailed in a playoff over John Daly.
"He has put together a great, great year," Couples said of Johnson, who won a rain-shortened event at Pebble Beach and finished T-4 at TPC Boston this past week. "Hunter was my pick all along, and he did nothing to push his way off the team, whereas Dustin did everything to make me make about 40 more calls last night. I didn't sleep too much."
Tough call in my eyes, but as much as I love Mahan's game and think he has more long-term potential than Johnson, I would have picked the masher, who could have had the same effect that J.B. Holmes had on last year's Ryder Cup.
Even so, that's more a discussion than an argument. There will be much more conjecture and debate when it comes to Norman's extra picks.
International Flavor
The International team at this year's Presidents Cup certainly will have its share of experience, with five separate players having played in at least five editions of the biennial match-play event.

|** 2009 captain's pick
Ishikawa won the Japan Tour's Fujisankei Classic by 5 strokes this past weekend for his third professional victory of the year. The phenom has a ton of game, and although he hasn't enjoyed much success in the U.S. this season -- only two made cuts in six starts with no finish better than T-56 -- he has earned the necessary experience to be included on the team.
Then again, he'll be competing in a foreign land and with only slight knowledge of the English language, and he'll have trouble communicating with fellow team members. Norman contended that the fact that Ishikawa is constantly surrounded by media and fans aided his decision to place him on the roster, but I'd be willing to bet that the benefit of tapping into the Japanese market and continuing to grow the game in that part of the world had an effect on his selection, too.
Still, it speaks volumes of the state of Scott's game that the 17-year-old from Japan was actually a safer pick than the six-time PGA Tour champion.
A former Players and Tour Championship winner, it would be kind to say that Scott's game has fallen on hard times this year. Fact is, he's been dreadful. Once the world's third-ranked player, he has dropped to No. 53. Since finishing as co-runner-up at the Sony Open in January, the 29-year-old has made the cut in only six of 16 starts, with his best finish coming at the WGC-Accenture Match Play Championship, where he earned a T-33 result only because of a first-round exit.
"There's more than one thing you look at to selecting a player," Norman said in defense of his pick. "It's not just the playing skills, but the camaraderie. ... He was really a logical choice."
Risky? Yes. Logical? No. It would have been more justifiable for the Shark to choose Jeev Milkha Singh, Rory Sabbatini, Stephen Ames, K.J. Choi or any one of a number of players -- the captain said he seriously looked as far down on the points list as John Senden at No. 31 -- over Scott. Instead, this selection will largely be considered playing favorites, as Norman has long served as a mentor to the younger Aussie.
Of course, much like a presidential election or an NFL draft, it's impossible to predict whether a Presidents Cup captain's pick is the right call until we see the action unfold. That will come on Oct. 8-11, when we'll find out whether Fred Couples' safe choices or Greg Norman's adventuresome ones will prove to be the keys to success.
