Skip to comments.Kucinich Falls to Kaptur in Ohio's 9th District
Posted on 03/06/2012 11:14:04 PM PST by Jonty30
I don't know if I can copy anything here from Politico, but bye bye Kucinich!
(Excerpt) Read more at realclearpolitics.com ...
I know. It's from Realclearpolitics.
Love me anyway!
As a lifelong Ohioan, I'd rather have Kucinich than Kaptur.
I don't know who Kaptur is, but each time a Democrat falls, an angel gets their wings.
As much as I disagree with the guy, at least you know where he was coming from...somewhere around your shins. : )
But seriously, I would rather have someone just say they're super liberal or leaning socialists than to say they're moderate democrats...
What was the 4,323rd threads topic?
Looks like Kusinich is now free to accept Ron Pauls invite to join his administration.
Can Meghan McCain be used as a flotation device in an air crash?
I remember that one. I recall my response was no because she would be talking incessantly, fill up with water and she would sink.
One's crazy while the other is just plain nuts... Which is which again?
The Cleveland Plain Dealer's editorial board had called the city's former mayor "as comfortable as an old shoe" but endorsed Kaptur, whom it argued could bring home the bacon from her seat as the second highest ranking Democrat on the Appropriations Committee.
"She will face Samuel Wurzelbacher, who became known as "Joe the Plumber" for expressing working-class concerns about taxes to then-candidate Barack Obama during a stop in the region in 2008."
well he still has a hottie to lie down with tonight and forget about what might have been
could be worse for a a little commie runt
I don't know much about Kaptur but I am happy to see Kookcinich kicked to the curb.
If you knew anything about Kaptur, your happiness would be minimal. The ohly differences between the two are Kaptur has more seniority and is much more dishonest about her Marixism.
The only flotation device that's self inflatable using hot air.
How many months does his wife leave him now that he is as irrelevant as that crazy woman from Georgia who's name I can't even remember!!! She had wide eyes and loved terrorists.
"Every time a Democrat loses a moonbat from hell gets its wings burned off."
Anything with a (D) by its name will get you just as killed.
Stalin would be proud.
I met Daffy Dennis and his wife at a cartoonist convention in DC in 2004. She's not only gorgeous but about 6' 2" with legs that go all the way to the top! He looks like a pet gerbil next to her!
Any chance that Kucinich would run as an independent?
Louis Farrakhan and his obsession with Numerology
Then again, since they mostly all live in Pizza Box Forts in mommy's basement I don't know how injured you can get from first climbing up to the window, then 'jumping' about 12" to the ground outside.
He still has time to move to another state, establish residency, and run again. Yeah, he decided against moving to Washington State, but he might reconsider?
Next up a show with him and the coast to coast guy on the Scifi network..
Two heads of the same coin. We have to make sure Joe the Plumber defeats Kaptur in the general.
Two sides of the same coin. We have to make sure Joe the Plumber defeats Kaptur in the general.
I agree. I would take Dennis K. over her. it surprised me that he lost.

Hi i took the sat in april and scored around a 1200, but my critical reading and geometry portion of the test was quite bad. For critical reading practice i read Time magazine weekly for about 3 months or so and still got a raw score of 20 out of 40 for this section. i don't know why i cant improve, i used the kaplan 1600 book and did some exercises from there and it still didn't help very much for some reason when i took practice exams yesterday. for the exam i used barron's idea of reading the whole this out. what else can i do to improve this section; i got like 1 month till i take the sat's a second time. The only part i'm good at on critical reading is the part where it is asking the meaning of a word, but i always get wrong inferences and some main topic questions. Also, my geometry i have received a raw score of 7 out of 16 i only did better than 45% of people which is quite bad. i just started using grubers. Is there any other way to get better at geometry and critical reading and also which ways does everyone use on Critacal reading because that is worth a lot of points.
thanks for your help

This question has been addressed many times in the past weeks/months.
Scroll down the messages and you will find a lot of tips and DIFFERENT strategies. There is NOT a single strategy that works for everyone. It all depends on your individual talent and abilities (like memory and attention span).
Practice with the existing tests and check the answers and slowly try to identify the patterns. After a while, you should be able to eliminate 1, then 2, then 3 obvious wrong answers and augment your chances to pick the right one. Eliminating the wrong choices is usually a bit easier than trying to find the correct one, or better said the "best" one.
Also, and this is not always easy, but as soon as you correctly identify the MAIN ideas, most answers become clearer.

After the bitter disappointment of missing the superb line up last week of headliner The Kills with opening acts Cold Cave and Entrance Band, I shifted my expectations and excitement for the dual delight of Black Lips with openers Vivian Girls. The weather has gotten to the point where you don't have to worry about being underdressed for the nighttime cold temperatures, and plenty of people were following the skimped-down unofficial dress code, all the better to jostle and jump around in.
This was my first time seeing Vivian Girls with their newest drummer, Fiona Campbell, and she steadily and capably kept up with singers and string pluckers Cassie Ramone and Katy Goodman throughout. As a white screen with sloppy graffiti spelling out (I think) "Awesome"and "Viv Grl" rose behind them, the trio pulled out "Can't Get Over You", followed by an entirely-new and surf-rock inspired tune. Ramone and Goodman's vocals worked terrifically together in fuzzy harmony, particularly on "Wild Eyes", but the highlight for me was indisputably "Take It As It Comes", a totally brilliant sixties girl group throwback. As a huge fan of the Shangri-las and many of the girl groups of that era, it was a pretty satisfying moment and a really fun part of the set. The girls played "Survival" and performed to a consistently rowdy audience until the set concluded a bit later. It was a nice, crowd-pleasing intro for the exhilaratingly-messy Black Lips.
The headliners took the stage with their typical energy of 100 firecrackers and ripped into "Sea of Blasphemy", a helpful fan tossing a beer to lead guitarist Ian Saint Pé afterward. Shortly after, the band played my favorite song from their catalog, "Dirty Hands", arguably the best track from their awesome "live" album, Los Valientes Del Mundo Nuevo (and earlier, Let It Bloom). This track had people lip synching and lightly air punching, which then got kicked up a few notches with the first notes of "Katrina", which unsurprisingly got the biggest crowd reaction of the night. Lead singer and bassist Jared Swilley took a moment to mention that, "It feels good to be in Austin when it's not South by Southwest," which was followed by a blunt and unflattering description by Saint Pé of the "record exec" types that saturate the festival.
On a lighter note and immediately after that aside, the guys pumped out "Veni Vidi Vici" and a raucous version of "Not A Problem". A killer rendition of King Khan & BBQ Show's "Too In Love With You" was met with a lot of applause, as was "Everybody's Doing It" and "Boomerang". The former was likely the pinnacle of the entire evening, though, and I'm happy that it was performed. You've got to hand it to Black Lips who, after 200 hundred million thousand shows (oh yeah), still bring the same level of hyperkinetic enthusiasm every time, practically guaranteeing you're going to have an amazing and probably pretty blurry time.

Miliband puts faith in democracy
Foreign Secretary David Miliband has called on Israel "as a beacon of democracy" to help find a political solution to its conflict with Hamas.
He told MPs that Israel argued against accepting UN resolutions which saw equivalence between a democratic state and a terrorist organisation.
"There is and can be no equivalence," said Mr Miliband. Hamas had shown itself over a number of years "ready to be murderous in word and deed".
Israel, on the other hand, was "a thriving, democratic state. One consequence of the distinction between a democratic government and a terrorist organisation is that democratic governments are held to significantly higher standards, notably by their own people."
He criticised Israel for not allowing in more humanitarian aid and both sides for the loss of innocent lives and rejecting a ceasefire.
Labour MP Sir Gerald Kaufman complained that "Olmert, Livni and Barak... bring shame on the Jewish people whose star of David they use as a flag in Gaza, but whose ethos and morals go completely against what this Israeli government are doing".
Mr Miliband replied: "The Jewish people have suffered enough for their history and deserve to be held to the same standards as every other nation state. I believe that the obligations that they have need to be fully implemented without fear."

Dallas Eakins, a retired defenseman who spent one of his 17 pro seasons with the Springfield Falcons, was named Monday as new coach of the National Hockey League's Edmonton Oilers.
Eakins, 46, replaces the fired Ralph Krueger, becoming the team's fourth head coach in the past five seasons. The Oilers have not made the playoffs since reaching the Stanley Cup finals in 2006.
Edmonton general manager Craig McTavish, a former Boston Bruins player and Edmonton head coach, tabbed Eakins for the job after being impressed by his work in four seasons as coach of the American Hockey League's Toronto Marlies. Eakins' Toronto club reached the Calder Cup finals in 2012.
Altogether, 23 of the NHL's current head coaches served as head coaches in the AHL. Those include the coaches of the current Stanley Cup finalists – Claude Julien of the Boston Bruins, who coached at Hamilton of the AHL, and Joel Quenneville of the Chicago Blackhawks, who coached the Springfield Falcons.
Another NHL head coach, Westfield State graduate Peter Laviolette of the Philadelphia Flyers, coached Providence to its last Calder Cup championship in 1999.
Patrick Roy of Colorado, Darryl Sutter of Los Angeles, Peter DeBoer of New Jersey and Paul McLean of Ottawa are the NHL coaches who didn't come up through the AHL. Three other NHL jobs are vacant – Vancouver, Dallas and the New York Rangers.
"Good for Dallas," Falcons president and general manager Bruce Landon said of Eakins' new job. "He played a little bit here, and I've heard really good things about him from his time with Toronto in our league.
"If you look at the number of NHL head coaches and assistants who started in the AHL, it's quite impressive."
Eakins played for the Falcons in 1996-97 in a defensive unit that also included current Springfield assistant Nolan Pratt. Those Falcons, coached by Kevin McCarthy, went 41-25-12-2 before losing in the semifinal round of the Calder Cup playoffs.
Altogether, Eakins played 12 seasons in the AHL and five in the International Hockey League. In the NHL, he played a total of 120 games.
"This isn't about winning one game or winning one season," Eakins told the Associated Press as his hiring was announced. "We want to be in the mix every year to win."
Eakins takes over a roster that includes high draft picks Taylor Hall, Ryan Nugent-Hopkins, Nail Yakupov, Jordan Eberle and Justin Schultz. His work with young players Jake Gardiner and Nazem Kadri in Toronto played a role in Edmonton's decision, the Associated Press said.

Editor, The News:
This is in response to a Feb. 26 letter writer.
She states the company her father started in 1968 is having a rough go of it and guess whose fault it is -- the autoworkers. What is her company and what does it build? I know a person with a karaoke machine who goes around to bars on weekends to entertain, and he calls that a company. Give me a break.
This lady sounds really bitter because autoworkers and retirees such as me made a good living, with good benefits over the years, and if she hasn't read the paper lately or listened to the news, hello, those days are over.
I get so tired of the autoworkers taking the heat for what's happening to the auto industry and because the government is helping them out and not Mrs. Business Lady in Frankenmuth.
She has to write to the paper and slam everything about the industry and what we worked for.
Is she slamming the poor salaried Delphi workers who just lost their retirement health care? Probably not.
She says she's tired of hearing about the concessions the union has made because they're not even close to what she makes, which she states is three times higher than what she makes. If that's the case, she must make about four bucks an hour now.
She better hope that her "company" doesn't have anything to do with the auto industry because if it goes down, she goes down -- along with 3 million other American jobs and who knows what else.
It's pretty easy to whine about the autoworkers when you have never been there, done that, but don't blame us because your company is in the tank. Look around, it's tough everywhere right now. If she wants to go out and buy a foreign car 'cause she's "mad," go ahead. That will be another nail in her wooden retirement box.

Give Obama time
Editor, The News:
At election time, I was all for a woman president. Hillary Clinton really pleased me by her knowledge of our country's needs.
Well, she lost the vote so next best, to me, was Barack Obama. I realized this man was very educated and extremely intelligent and in my estimation he was OK.
Now I wonder why are so many people (mostly Republicans) in such a hurry to see Obama "set the world on fire?" Let's give him a chance, eh? He's only been in office a few weeks. He has selected some very adept, intelligent people to assist him in coping with the economic problems left by George Bush and his administration.
So how about putting our faith and trust in God to help our new president straighten out the mess it is in? It took seven years to get our country in this bad situation. So let's give the new administration time to get our economy going good again.

JACKSON, MI — Good morning, Jackson! Today is Tuesday, Oct. 15.
Welcome to Jackson Current, your daily peek into stories we're working on and a look back at the latest news.
TEEN KILLED IN CRASH HAD BIG HEART — Colton Aukerman was known by family and friends as determined, optimist and goal-driven. The Western High School junior was killed in an early Sunday morning crash in Spring Arbor Township after his car left the road and hit a tree on Cox Road near Teft Road.
GOVERNMENT SHUTDOWN PROTEST — Several organizations are planning a protest against the government shutdown in front of U.S. Rep. Tim Walberg's office at noon today. Members of the organizations plan to meet in front of Walberg's office, 800 W. Ganson St., shortly before noon. Community members are invited to join the protest.
COLONIAL INN FIRE — Authorities continue to investigate the cause of a fire that hospitalized one man and temporarily displaced more than 20 others Saturday at the Colonial Inn. Investigators took a hot plate from room 144, which was completely gutted by flames, and will have it tested for any malfunction. The fire is not considered suspicious.
PRISON UPGRADES — The Jackson County Board of Commissioners will vote to approve the replacement of an outdated security system at the Chanter Road Correctional Facility, where some county inmates are jailed. County government reporter Lisa Satayut will be covering the meeting live at 7 p.m. today.
HIT-AND-RUN VICTIM — Steven Tinney is in stable condition and is expected to make a full recovery after being hit by a car Sunday evening, according to his family members. Tinney was involved in a hit-and-run shortly before 8 p.m. Sunday on the 7900 block of Brooklyn Road between Chicago Road in Napolean Township and Palmer Road in Columbia Township.
JACKSON'S RENTAL REGISTRY — A proposed state law up for debate in the state Senate could eliminate the city of Jackson's rental registry and inspection program, according to city officials. The bill would amend the state's housing laws to provide more lenient rental registry and inspection fees – fees which most Jackson landlords agree are excessive and burdensome.
MAN AND DOG REUNITED — Linden resident Daane Birchmeier was convinced that his 11-month old dog Natty was gone for good after she wandered off as he worked on his truck in May. But five months and more than 70 miles later, Birchmeier and his dog were reunited last week at the Jackson County Animal Shelter, 3370 Spring Arbor Road in Jackson.
That's it for this morning. Come back to MLive Jackson for more news throughout the day, and make sure to follow us on Facebook and Twitter.


text: Okay, so I know how much each piece of equipment will hold, by looking up the specs online. What I don't know is how much gas each piece is using per hour. I would like to know before starting the season, so I could include it in my overhead for gas. Is there a formula for doing this or am I just gonna have to run it to find out? I just want to be as accurate as possible. I don't want to say this # of dollars of gas and end up being way, then finding out I underbid myself by a ton.

Joey gave Brandon Marshall a pass for Barack.

We'll spend this week making horribly uninformed projections about he NFL season. Enjoy.
Thank God for Randy Moss, Bart Scott and J-Peazy. With all of the pretty boys posing for magazine spreads, this division was beginning to resemble Premier League soccer. Those three give it a much needed dose of real.
Anyway, as you found out yesterday, we haven't exactly got into football analysis mode just yet (Tigers stats are bogging us down lately), so as a way to whet your appetite, we'll give you completely useless facts about each division in the NFL all week.
Nothing goes together like football and glamor shots:
Whether it's Tom Brady wrestling goats, Mark Sanchez doing his best Hasselhoff impression (sorry buddy, you need more chest hair if you're going to be on Baywatch) or T.O. looking for any reason he can to be shirtless, if you like corny photos of athletes, this is the division for you.
Buffalo will be fine, right?
Noted quarterback lover Owens will be catching passes from Trent Edwards this season and, if that fails, Gibran Hamdan or Matt Baker. I see no way any of this could go wrong.
Don't ask Bill Belichick about his secondary. He will throw Junior Seau and Teddy Bruschi back there if need be:
Last year, the Patriots gave up 27 passing touchdowns, second most in the NFL. They addressed this by signing a guy who was cut by the worst team in NFL history and a corner who is 34 and missed seven games last year.
It's too bad Jon Gruden's not still coaching or Chad Pennington would definitely have a job next year:
Pennington, who had a good season (not counting when Ed Reed was around) as a caretaker quarterback for the Dolphins last year, has been told Chad Henne will take over the starting job next year.
If Gruden lands a coaching job, Henne and Brian Griese will definitely compete for the starting job for that mystery team.
Rex Ryan makes the Jets infinitely interesting:
I think it's a safe bet that Ryan uses a racial/ethnic/homophobic slur on camera at some point this season.
A completely uninformed stab at the division standings:
1. Patriots
2. Bills
3. Jets
4. Dolphins

Saturday Afternoon Bottom's Fantasy - TreasureIsland
Models: Brad McGuire and Toby James
Film: Brad McGuire's 20-Hole Weekend
Studio: Treasure Island Media
Men often write in with fantasies they'd like to live out on camera. If they hit me or Max in the right way, we're happy to make them happen.
Toby sent in a few pics of himself, and told us he was having wet dreams involving Brad, a pair of electric clippers, a barber's chair and black boots. Brad was more than happy to shear this boy's head and then fuck the hell out of him.
Afterward, Brad declared Toby to be one of the finest pieces of ass he'd had all weekend. Toby called the fuck "a damned religious experience." We believe it.

A wildfire two miles south of Mitchell blew up over the weekend, threatening up to 220 structures and homes, fire officials said this morning.
Jeree Mills, a spokeswoman for the Northwest Interagency Coordination Center in Portland said the Bridge Creek fire, which started on August 7, was fanned into a fury Saturday by high winds and 100-plus degree temperatures.
"The unstable air hit and it blew up on 'em,'' Mills said.
There were 55 people battling the fire yesterday but additional resources have been requested, including two heavy-lift helicopters, a medium-lift and fixed wing plane, six engines, four water tenders six bulldozers.
Five airtankers yesterday dropped retardant in the Mitchell City Watershed. Aircraft were also sent to Black Canyon to drop water and retardant. Four privately owned bulldozers were being used by the Oregon Department of Forestry.
The western half of the Black Canyon Wilderness, a parts of adjacent forest lands are closed, including the Wolf Mountain and Boeing Field trailheads.
The fire was moved to the top of a very long list of fires - new and existing - that have firefighters working all over the state.
From 8 a.m. yesterday through 8 a.m. this morning, the state was stitched from north to south by 5,436 lightning strikes, Mills said. Out of those, strikes sparked 172 fires, including 70 in the Willamette National Forest and 25 in the Mount Hood National Forest.
At least five new fires also broke out in the Umpqua National Forest, said Liza Castleberry, a fire staff officer, bringing the total to 29 fires on the Upmqua since lighting storms lit up the state starting Saturday.
"Some of the storm cells that moved through the area have brought some rain which is a mixed blessing,'' Castleberry said.
Forest spokeswoman Pam Sichting said fog is covering a large part of the forest so spotting new starts is difficult and visibility above the fog is mixed due to the smoke.
"Today, firefighters will need to be diligent with the lightning still occurring, slippery footing on steep slopes, and traffic on the roads,' Sichting said.
Early morning storms, meanwhile, that rumbled through Portland and much of Oregon this morning began to move eastward this afternoon.
Paul Tolleson, a forecaster for the National Weather Service in Portland, said more than one thousand lightning strikes were recorded off the Oregon coast last night and early this morning.
"That's a lot of lightning in so short a time -- the most I've ever seen in the 18 years I've been here,'' Tolleson said.
Tolleson said forecasters are watching an approaching storm with entrained tropical moisture that could dump up to one to 2 inches of rain in the Coast Range and Cascades, and up to an inch in the Willamette Valley late Tuesday into Wednesday.
He described the storm as a very "juicy" weather system that will tap into tropical moisture and give much of Oregon, heavy soaking rains.
"We use a value which we call precipitable water to measure the moisture in these storms and we're seeing very high values, higher than even we see during the winter,'' Tolleson said. "That's because the air mass is very warm and warm air can hold more moisture than cold air.
"This could put a real damper on Oregon's fire season,'' he said.
The North Fork fire about 26 miles north Glide had grown to 400 acres last night. The containment efforts by 451 people will continue today.
Although today's rain has kept some fires from starting, our dampened others, officials said the storm was expected to move east tonight and Tuesday, bringing the chance of more lighting and perhaps less rain to tinder dry forests east of the Cascades.
The National Weather Service issued a red flag warning for most of Eastern Oregon that will remain in effect until midnight tonight. Forecasters warned that "lightning strikes in combination with dry fuel conditions will pose a significant threat for new fire starts."
Rainfall from the much wetter than normal summer storm day may or may not affect firefighting efforts on the other side of the Cascades due to the rain-shadow effect, said coordination spokesman, John Townsley.
"The cooling and the rain will give our crews on the Gnarl fire a chance to get up close and personal with the fire today,'' Townsley said. "But we're back into dry and hot by the weekend."
The 516-acre Gnarl fire on Mount Hood is burning through extremely rugged terrain, with lots of downed trees, and standing beetle-killed trees that have to be cut down before firefighters can advance.
Officials said the Hood River County Sheriff's Office issued an evacuation advisory to residents near Cooper Spur and Mountain Shadow. The historical Cloud Cap Inn and another 42 structures are threatened by the fire, which was started August 7 by lightning.
Another fire of note:
• Snow Creek, burning through 350 acres 14 miles west of Sunriver. The fire threatens 7 structures, including the Cow Camp and Snow Creek guard stations. The lightning caused fire broke out Sunday and has forced the closure of state road 70 between Forest Service Road 4270 and state road 46.

I am truly mad for avocados. I love everything about them from their beautiful rough skin that turns nearly black when ripe to the creamy subtle taste of the fruit to how they transform every dish in which they make an appearance.
In the winter I make a salad with grapefruit and avocado; in the spring with arugula, toasted pine nuts and avocado; and in the summer with tomatoes, basil and avocado. A summer open-faced sandwich with avocado and sliced tomatoes, and maybe a little mayonnaise, is so delicious that I force myself to eat it slowly, savoring the tastes and textures for as long as possible. Chopped avocado is great as a garnish in gazpacho as well as an accompaniment in the form of guacamole to quesadillas filled with onions, corn and jack cheese; grilled outside.
I buy my avocados green and hard because I like to ripen them myself. I find that semi-ripened avocados in the market often never fully ripen or that one half is over-ripe while the other half has not ripened at all. I don't like having to throw food away.
There are many recipes for guacamole and over the years I have taken something from recipes I have used and developed what I consider a pretty good version. I do take the point that we all think our versions are pretty good, and what it means is that it suits our palates. I have in the end found that the most delicious guacamole is still the simplest. I give you the benefit of many years of guacamole experimentation with my version and encourage you to tweak it. You have all summer to come up with your version.
(serves 6 as an appetizer)
2 ripe Hass avocados, peeled, seeded and chopped into coarse chunks (set aside one pit)
4 cherry tomatoes, washed and chopped
1 fresh jalapeno pepper, finely chopped or 1/4 t. Tabasco or other hot sauce
2 t. fresh lime juice
2 t. canola or other flavorless oil
1/4 c. cilantro, washed, dried and coarsely chopped (optional)
Salt and pepper to taste
Combine all ingredients well in a large non-reactive glass or stainless steel bowl. Transfer to a smaller bowl that just fits the guacamole. Place the pit in the center of the guacamole. Chill for up to 3 hours until ready to serve. Remove the pit. If you use cilantro, chop an additional 1/4 c. and put in on top of the guacamole.
Serve with tortilla chips and salsa. And margaritas, if you wish.

During a season where kids celebrate receiving toys, a local student was celebrating receiving a gift of a different kind.
Senior Allison Petruzzelli was awarded a $250 scholarship through Junior Achievement, or JA, which is a program allowing high school students to volunteer teaching business to children in elementary schools in Washington Township.
One thing that made Petruzzelli stand out was the amount of experience she had. In total, she has been a member of JA for two years.
In the program, the students travel to six different elementary schools throughout the year. She participated last year in five out of the six schools, along with teaching multiple grade levels. By the end of last year, she says she was "completely comfortable with teaching all of the material to the kids."
Petruzzelli believes JA is a great program to get involved with, but she said it also has its difficulties. For her, the most challenging aspect of the program was simply helping the children understand the material she was teaching.
"The hardest part is trying to have the kids, especially the younger ones, understand what you're teaching," she said. "For a first grader, it is hard to understand the concept of entrepreneurship, but the kids have really picked up on it quickly."
When Petruzzelli found out that she had received the scholarship, she was surprised and ecstatic to hear the news, especially because there were many others that had participated and had been nominated.
She described the whole experience as a great one that has definitely rounded her as a person.
"I have definitely learned a lot from JA," she said. "Not only have I become more comfortable with the business terms, but I have also become more confident with the idea of speaking in front of groups of people, even if they are just little kids."
Next fall, Petruzzelli hopes to attend Pennsylvania State University or Rutgers University in New Brunswick. She plans on applying for the business programs at these universities and eventually achieving her dream of being an event planner, all with the help of the skills she has learned in JA.

Thursday, Sept. 5 features two solid jazz shows. It's also a good night for zydeco dancing.
Thursday Night Swingin' feat. Geoff Clapp and Wess Anderson, Julius Kimbrough's Prime Example Jazz Club, 7 and 9 p.m.
Julius Kimbrough has a long history of running first-class jazz clubs in New Orleans. The Thursday Night Swingin' session consists of two shows hosted by DJ Soul Sister. This week's features drummer Geoff Clapp and renowned saxophonist/educator Wess Andersson.
Pete Fountain tribute feat. Troy "Trombone Shorty" Andrews and Nicholas Payton, Warren Easton Charter High School Auditorium, 8 p.m.
New Orleans clarinet legend Pete Fountain, among the more prominent musician alumni of Warren Easton, is the subject of a tribute concert at the school featuring two other Easton grads: Trombonist/trumpeter/burgeoning pop star Andrews and multi-disciplinary trumpeter Payton. Fountain himself is expected to attend, but not perform. Andrews and Payton will each deliver sets of around 45 minutes, backed by an all-star band. Tickets are $50, available at the door; the event is a fundraiser for the school's music program.
Geno Delafose, Rock 'n' Bowl, 8:30 p.m.
Hailing from a southwest Louisiana family with a long history in zydeco music, Geno Delafose now ranks among the foremost practitioners of the authentic style.
Other options for Thursday include guitarist Papa Mali with drummer Johnny Vidacovich and bassist Cass Faulconer, early at Chickie Wah Wah; University of New Orleans jazz studies guitarist Georgi Petrov, leading a quartet at Snug Harbor; and the "Bounce XXX" blowout at Republic New Orleans, featuring Big Freedia, Katey Red and DJ Jubilee.

The absolute biggest game on the college football schedule this week features one of our very own.
It's true that most of the nation's eyes will be on Brady Quinn and Jeff Smardzija and Darius Walker and Tom Zbikowski and all those other Notre Dame stalwarts when the Fighing Irish take on the Michigan Wolverines Saturday afternoon in South Bend on NBC-TV.
But the guy who could end up being the key player in the piece just might be Mike Hart.
Yeah, our Mike Hart from itty-bitty Onondaga Central High School. Our Mike Hart, who is on a pace to rush for some 1,600 yards this season for those storied Wolverines. Our Mike Hart, who still stands only around 5-foot-9 and who will still be only 20 years of age when this, his junior campaign, is completed. In fact, Mike won't turn 21 until next April.
So, in review: He's from a small school in a "bad" high-school football state . . . having not yet cracked 200 pounds, he's not particularly big . . . he's so very young with a lot of physical and emotional development ahead of him. And yet Mike Hart will enter Saturday's affair as much a marquee player as anybody else in the weekend's marquee game.
Amazing, that is. Remarkable. And the really good news is that from all indications, the kid is still a good kid with a hat size that has remained unchanged. This, despite all the hosannas.
Me? I remember the first time I sat down with Mike for a conversation. It was in the OCS football office -- imagine a fair-sized broom closet with furniture, and you've nailed it -- and he, then a junior, indicated to me that it was his intention to play "up." Which is to say that Mike Hart had it in his mind to play for as big and grand a college football program as he could find.
Well, so many of these kids today say the same thing. I know that. I've heard that. I've shaken my head in bewilderment at that. Jim Boeheim, his own self, has told me that he believes there are scrubs riding high-school benches with no chance of ever escaping them who nevertheless think they're bound for the NBA. So, delusion is part of the adolescent athletic landscape.
But Mike Hart was obviously not delusional, even if there were those who thought that Michigan -- with a consecutive bowl streak that has now stretched across 31 years (ponder that for a moment) -- would ultimately prove to be a reach for him and not a grasp. He rushed for 1,455 yards as a true freshman. He gained another 662 in an injury-filled sophomore season. And now, as a junior, he's already put back-to-back 100-plus-yard games on the board.
And next up? Second-ranked Notre Dame, in the shadow of the Golden Dome out there on the Indiana plain.
"When Notre Dame beats Michigan, they have a great year," Mike told ESPN.com the other day. "When Michigan beats Notre Dame, they have a great year. It says a lot about how good your team is and what you're going to do the rest of the year. I think we're a good team. But to come to Notre Dame, you're going to find out how good you really are."
How good is Michigan? It is so good that it can be 73-26 in its last 99 games (which it is) . . . and still have its fans grumbling. That, in a sick kind of way, is how good Michigan is. And Mike Hart, our Mike Hart from itty-bitty Onondaga Central High School, just might be the Wolverines' best player.
Amazing, that is. Remarkable. But I repeat myself.

FBI tracking dogs are coming to Swatara Township, Lebanon County Friday, trying for the second day this week to find the man missing since flooding from Tropical Storm Lee.
Hamdy Mohamed slipped and fell into raging Swatara Creek waters that covered state Route 72 Sept 8. Two men had stopped to help Mohamed from his car, but he fell and never resurfaced.
Helicopters, boats, firefighters, the National Guard and specialized teams from Harrisburg River Rescue have been trying to find Mohamed's body for two weeks. Many troopers and firefighters worked on personal time, state police said.
Tuesday, canine units from the FBI joined Harrisburg River Rescue to search 10 miles of the creek and shoreline. They will continue that search again Friday.
Anyone with information is asked to call state police at 717-865-2194.

Tampa Bay has signed a free-agent defenseman who could be a big help to the Syracuse Crunch.
Very big.
Tampa Bay has agreed to terms with 6-foot-8, 225-pound defenseman Andrej Sustr on a two-year entry level contract,
Sustr, 22, skated in 39 games with the University of Nebraska-Omaha Mavericks this season, recording nine goals and 25 points to go along with 53 penalty minutes.
He ranked first among Nebraska defensemen in goals and points. Of his nine goals last season, four were scored on the power play and he also ranked tied for second on the Mavericks with 10 power-play points. Sustr participated in the Lightning's Summer Development Camp last summer.
"Andre is a big, mobile, right shot defenseman with very good skills. We feel he has great potential to develop into a good NHL player," Yzerman said in a statement. "We're excited to have him join our organization."
The Plzen, Czech Republic, native has skated in 111 career NCAA games with the Mavericks, posting 15 goals and 51 points to go along with a plus-24 rating. This season Sustr set career highs in goals, assists (16), points, plus/minus and power play goals.
Sustr is eligible to play with the Crunch this season. Tampa Bay assistant GM Julien BriseBois said he will start with the Lightning next week and his progress will be evaluated from there.

This week's pitch:
I've followed Cell Therapeutics for years with amazement and amusement, but I've never found a good time to pitch them. When they were overvalued, it seemed kind of superfluous to add my tiny squeak to the chorus of opprobrium raining down from more authoritative voices such as Feuerstein. The few times when I thought they might actually resurge, the share price never quite broke through my lower threshold. So I've held my tongue these years.
Friday I finally got my chance to play, as a result of a 40% jump in the share price after the EU Advisory Committee CHMP recommended approval of Pixuvri for non-Hodgkin lymphoma. That was a surprising decision, given the widely reported problems and limitations of the single phase III study supporting the application and the unanimous FDA Advisory Panel vote against approval in 2010. But of course the Europeans have the right to make up their own minds. Unlike FDA Advisory Panels in the U.S., a positive CHMP recommendation confers a near certainty of full EU approval within a few months.
The reason I saw this as my opportunity to enter a red thumb that wasn't glaringly obvious is that I see EU approval as even less indicative of eventual commercial success than US approval. While FDA approval essentially forces public and private insurers to reimburse for on-label uses of the approved drug, several bureaucratic steps are required before the same applies in Europe. Individual countries apply their own standards to determine if the benefit of the drug justifies the expense. We've seen InterMune [ (Nasdaq: ITMN ) ] run into this problem with a ruling by the IQWiG regulatory body in Germany classifying pirfenidone as having "no proven added benefit" over best supportive care. Probably the best parallel to pixantrone is Epicept's Ceplene, which received a shocking European approval in 2008 and has continued to be straight-armed by the FDA since then. To this point, Ceplene has garnered no material revenue from Ceplene in Europe.
Unless Cell Therapeutics can convince a skeptical market that they can translate approval into revenues, they'll have a hard time maintaining their price bump. They recently withdrew their pixantrone NDA resubmission to much derision and are unlikely to see a follow-up positive catalyst in the near future. Meanwhile their burn remains exorbitant and they have never shown hesitation to turn to secondaries for cash infusions. Three reverse splits in the last five years don't instill much confidence in management's respect for shareholder value.

KDPS got a report at about 3:50 p.m. from a man at a home in the 1800 block of Greenlawn Avenue who said he was holding a hostage and threatened to harm any officers who responded to his home, according to a news release.
A preliminary investigation indicates that responding officers encountered the 42-year-old resident, who was brandishing a kitchen knife, the news release said. He refused commands to drop the knife and advanced toward an officer.
"In response to the immediate threat on the officer, back-up officers shot the man," the release said.
Officers administered CPR on the man, whose name was not released. He was transported to Bronson Methodist Hospital, where he was pronounced dead.
The officers involved in the incident have been granted leave, according to KDPS. Their names were not released.
The investigation into the incident will be completed by the department's Criminal Investigations Division and the Office of Professional Standards and no further information will be released until Wednesday, the news release said.
The shooting occured at a brown, bi-level house at 1825 Greenlawn, which is in the West Main Hill neighborhood, just north of the Western Michigan University campus near the Goldsworth Valley dormitories.
Police crime lab technicians were still on the scene inside the home shortly before 8 p.m.
Jeff Vosters, who lives across the street, said he "didn't hear anything" alarming until he heard car doors shutting and looked outside to see a police car. Soon, more police cars and an ambulance pulled up and shortly after that ambulance personnel brought someone out on a stretcher and appeared to be performing CPR, he said.
Vosters said he had seen police cars at the neighbor's house a few times in the past, but otherwise was unaware of any problems. "It's a quiet street," he said. "You don't hardly hear anything."
The map below shows where 1800 block of Greenlawn is.

Global Climate Change and Transportation Infrastructure: Lessons from the New York Area
in The Potential Impacts of Climate Change on Transportation: Workshop Summary and Proceedings, U.S. DOT (Center for Climate Change and Environmental Forecasting) in cooperation with the U.S. EPA, U.S. DOE, U.S.GCRP.
Zimmerman, R.
Global climate change (GCC) is now well known, and its impacts are a stark reality. According to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), changes in global climate in the 20th century, whether from human or natural causes, are already reflected in numerous indicators for atmospheric chemistry, weather, biological, physical and economic conditions, and members of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) working groups have rated the probability of those changes as either actually occurring or at least likely to occur. The estimated impacts of these changes under varying scenarios are in many cases pronounced, and the ability to cope with these impacts varies considerably depending upon the capacity of individuals, groups and institutions to adapt.

Enlarge pattern pieces to the desired size, copy onto card stock and cut out. (Pattern below)
Trace around pattern pieces onto the Light Copper ArtEmboss® using a stylus and cut out. • 1 leaf • 2 flower centers • 9 small petals • 9 large petals
Draw veins on each of the flower petals and the leaf. Give a soft hammered texture to each by placing the pieces onto a sheet of fun foam and lightly pounding with the eraser end of a pencil. Gently roll over each piece with a brayer to flatten back out.
Place one of the flower centers onto the fun foam and make evenly spaced perforations in it using the needle tool.
Place the Light Copper pieces onto a metal baking sheet. Heat each of the pieces with a heat gun to create a patina finish. With prolonged heat in one area the copper will turn orange, then rust, then red, then blue, then gold. By moving the heat gun around, you can create some unusual patterns of color. Let the copper cool, then continue with project.
Trace two flower center patterns onto the tape sheet and cut out. Remove the white liner and adhere to the wrong side of each copper flower center. Remove the red liner from the plain flower center and apply the large flower petals, making sure they are evenly spaced around the center. Apply the small flower petals in between the large. Press to secure.
Remove the red liner from the back of the perforated flower center and secure into place over the petals.
Cut a 1" x 21/2" piece of Light Copper ArtEmboss® and wrap it around the end of the WireForm® WireRod, forming a tube. Remove the tube and squeeze one end flat with pliers. Glue the tube to the back of the flower using E6000 glue. Let glue dry completely.
Free form the Aluminum WireForm® WireRod (flower stem) into desired shape. Wrap the end of the leaf around the stem where desired. Secure by wrapping a 6" length of Clear/Copper Fun Wire™ around both the rod and the end of the leaf.
- Place the flower on the stem by sliding the rod into the tube on the back of the flower.

Just bought this .. I could use a little timer to keep me on task and felt that this worked better then trying to set my watch or whatever - integrates with Growl which is great.
There was a minor tech issue with the app and I contacted the developer. In less then an HOUR he had the problem fixed and delivered back to me.
No idea what he will develop next, but he has a customer for life.

GRAND RAPIDS, MI -- An Alto man who worked with children as a licensed counselor, mentor and foster parent, was sentenced Thursday, April 3, to 30 years in federal prison for possessing and distributing child pornography.
Jeffrey Victor Marchione, 48, who earlier pleaded guilty in Kent County Circuit Court to sexual assault of a child, will be on lifetime supervised release when his prison term ends, U.S. District Judge Robert Jonker said.
Marchione amassed 32,000 images of child pornography, federal prosecutors say.

He also worked closely with children, as a Big Brother and mentor, as an adoptive and foster parent, and as a foreign-exchange host parent. The government said he offered advice to a sexual predator on how to meet children and stay out of trouble.
"Your best bet … is to work with kids and build relationships, be a mentor or big brother or be in scouts or something … . (I)s there a poorer part of town you could volunteer to work with kids after school on their homework? Be a boy scout and work with the cubs."
The defense provided numerous letters on Marchione's behalf, from his own children as well as those from those he mentored, counseled or fostered. He was described as a good family man.
The defense portrayed him as a hard-working family man who was molested himself as a child.
The defense asked that Jonker sentence Marchione below the 30-year minimum, while the prosecutor wanted him to exceed it.
"The defendant preyed on young boys both in person and online," Assistant U.S. Attorney Tessa Hessmiller wrote.

Root: Google Now Almost Fully Working On Ice Cream Sandwich!
Google Now has essentially been ported to Ice Cream Sandwich ROMs. This is the full, legit search, including the very natural Jelly Bean voice. I have tested it on my Galaxy S II running 4.0.4, and it works quite well most of the time. Sometimes the app can not show anything on screen, no matter what version I use, but in general it works well and recognizes my voice and speaks to me in such a beautiful way.
Warning: This is a root procedure, and could be dangerous. Perform at your own risk. DroidDog and the devs are not responsible for any damage caused by a bad flash, a screw up, or the sexy lady of Google Now ruining your marriage.
Also, this only works on ARMv7 devices. If you want to know if your device applies (it most likely does), go here for a list of ARMv7 devices.
There are multiple versions you can download from the source link, so choose your poison. All of them have at least one thing broken. The first one (with double take) works quite well for the most part, and you might want to try out the version without auto launch. It could work for you.
After choosing the zip you want, reboot into CWM recovery (or whatever recovery you use, as long as it is custom). Flash the zip, and reboot. When you're booted, use a root file explorer (like Solid, ES, or Root Explorer), and navigate over to /system/usr/srec/ and there will be two folders. They are "config" and "en-US." You will need to change permissions. They should look like this:
Mine were already set to this, but if they aren't change them. Then hit the search button and go through the setup. You should be done! Tell us how it goes in the comments!

This one is for the families.
Save the cash you would spend on a babysitter and head up to the State Theatre in New Brunswick, where you can rock out with your kids to StarFish — a five-piece ensemble that embodies what it means to stay forever young.
StarFish changes the feel to family-friendly entertainment by giving the — let's face it — somewhat lame kids songs a classic rock makeover. You still might find the lyrics to be more preadolescent, but there's no denying their unconventional twist.
Check the band out at starfishrocks.com. There, you can sample their repertoire, including numbers such as "My Name is No" and "Learning to Rock."
Hailing from Maplewood, the band comprises mostly dads. Formed by front man Ray Leone, lead vocalist, the concept began after his daughter Emma was born.
"I would sing the usual lullabies for her, but I also started singing some Beatles songs, Billy Joel, you name it," says Leone in an official statement. "Then, when she started singing her first songs, she'd sing 'B-I-N-G-O,' but she'd also sing 'Ob La Di, Ob La Da.' How cool is that?"
Thus, a new "genre" for the dad musicians came alive.
Fellow bandmates include father Dave "Grateful Dave" Hartkern on drums and vocals, father Mark "Dr. Yes" Asch on keyboards and vocals, Tom "Tommy ThreeTone" Lucas on lead guitar and vocals and Ed "Eddit Van Vedder" Iglewski on bass.
The whole point, Leone says, is to entertain the kids but also to purposefully cater to the parents as well. So Leone started by bringing his guitar into his son's day care center and meshing songs he loved, such as "Yellow Submarine," with the kid songs the children had learned.
"I also started checking out some kids' performers, and I always felt the kids (and their parents) wanted to let loose a little more," he says. "I could tell they wanted to rock out!"

What else is happening
They like to rock out to the beat of a darker drum.
Alright Alright isn't your average classic rock band. Sure, it's got the standard riffs and catchy beats, but the lyrics are anything but traditional.
The band's lyrical forte focuses on the zombie apocalypse and monsters falling in love. Its members sing about apparitions and the traveling soul. It sounds strange, but it's strangely infectious.
Tonight, the band performs at the Sticky Wicket in Hamilton.
Led by front man and guitarist Michael Sweeney, the band comprises Jeff Springer (lead guitar), Brent Wroten (drums), Cleo German (bass), Ryan Seaton (vocals) and Dayna Richards (keyboards/trumpet).
Formed in 2008, Alright Alright has a knack for piecing together three-minute numbers that are tight, spunky and original in all aspects.
Check the band out online at alrightalright.com and click the link for "video/youtube."
The Sticky Wicket is located at 2465 S. Broad St., Hamilton. For more information, log onto stickywicketgrill.com or call (609) 439-0007.

More than 2,500 Muslims gathered at Fair Park Arena in western Birmingham this morning to celebrate Eid al-Fitr, the feast marking the end of the holy month of Ramadan.
"It's the number one holiday for Muslims," said Raed Awad, who preached about Muslim unity following the morning prayers.
Prayer rugs were spread out across the arena floor and many in the crowd wore elaborate clothing from variety of cultures, including turbans for some men and colorful gowns and scarves for the women.
The Eid, or feast, ends a month of daytime fasting and extra prayers and reading of the Qu'ran during Ramadan.
"It's very rigorous and spiritually empowering," said Faiza Malik, who was born in Pakistan and came to America at age 8. "We consider Ramadan a training ground for the rest of the world."
Awad preached about the variety of cultures represented in Islam, a faith of more than a billion people worldwide.
"There is a difference in cultures, language, customs and clothing," Awad said. "Islam celebrates that. There is unity but not uniformity. We celebrate unity around the Qu'ran and the Prophet Muhammad."

"Our planet is under increasing pressure. We face multiple and inter-linked global challenges - climate change, population growth, threats to food, energy and water security, as well as impacts on the Earth's ecosystems from which we can too easily see ourselves as disconnected. This conference is a timely opportunity to take stock of our scientific understanding of these pressures and their interactions, and to work across institutional and disciplinary boundaries on the steps needed to ensure a secure and sustainable way forward for future generations."
"Tonight around 1 billion fellow humans will go to bed hungry. That number is set to get worse in coming decades unless we take action now on climate change, water and food security, and the inequality and poverty that leaves people vulnerable to increasing numbers of shocks. This conference can combine the best of science and social understanding to support action that will build the resilience of those most exposed to the risks of a Planet Under Pressure."
"For many Governments and companies the Climate Change debate has moved from 'if we do something' to 'how and is it enough'. For the professionals designing the built environment it challenges our fundamental design parameters. Trying harder simply will not be sufficient but the implications of embracing it is indeed a revolution is truly challenging. It is a challenge we as professionals should relish!"
The world is using resources at an unsustainable rate. Companies who adapt their business model to address this are prospering and will continue to do so; those that don't will decline. This conference will appeal to hard headed business people who face up to realities and are concerned about long term shareholder value creation.
Our planet is under pressure, and this is the critical decade. Actions taken now will make a big difference into the distant future.
With the worlds population at 7 billion and climbing and demands for food, water, energy and minerals growing even faster than the population, it is time to take stock of planetary constraints and opportunities. If we are smart, there is no reason we cannot meet our resource needs; but if we thoughtlessly exploit our natural capital without regard to impacts, we will squander any chance at insuring better lives for our children. This conference will ignite the scientific inquiries and assessments needed to implement a sustainable future that everyone wants.
This conference will be of great importance not only for Rio+20, but for the whole sequence of international cooperation that will be necessary to turn world affairs in a sustainable direction – with the next ten years a most crucial period.
The challenges of providing sufficient food, water, and energy (on which I am currently working) to allow everyone on the planet to live decent lives, in the face of rising population, the threat of climate change and loss of biodiversity, must be addressed holistically. Planet under Pressure will play an important role by bringing together representatives of government, industry, academia and society, whose collective effort is needed to cope with these enormous challenges.
Humanity has already seriously overshot the ability of the planet to support us: planetary boundaries have been exceeded substantially for the carbon and nitrogen cycles and loss of biological diversity - the ultimate resource - is accelerating. Planet Under Pressure will go beyond hand wringing about spreading wastelands and dead seas, to show us ways forward. We need to manage the planet by managing ourselves, so the bounty of the living planet can provide opportunities for a better life for all
Our planet is under pressure as never before. Biodiversity – millions of plant and animal species and the ecosystems where they live – is the basic infrastructure that allows us, and our societies and economies, to survive and thrive on this planet. Yet this intricate web of life is being lost at ever increasing rates, with grim consequences. Science however shows us the way forward. We know that investing in nature can help solve some of our biggest challenges: climate change, food security, poverty, energy, economic growth. This conference will play an important role in bringing scientists and decision-makers together to help develop and deliver these nature-based solutions through 2012 and beyond. We've taken nature for granted for too long; now is the time to act.
Sustainability is driving many new business opportunities, often challenging us to measure outcomes and success criteria in new ways. This includes new ways of looking at technology, new ways of understanding behaviour drivers, and new ways of understanding how integrated systems work. Close collaboration with science and cutting edge, fact-based research is crucial for us to demonstrate the value of sustainability as we transition to the new economy.
I see this conference as a call for change, change that is desperately needed in our increasingly climate constrained world. The conference is timely, just before the Rio+20 meet, which hopefully will steer the world towards new action and new energy on environment. At this time, when the world is grappling with multiple and interlinked crisis – from financial to peak oil and to extreme weather events – we need all the wisdom and sagacity to find a new way to wealth without pollution.
Sustainable development is widely adopted as a common goal for the global world community. Food security, adequate energy supply, judicious use of water and natural resources, and the conservation of biodiversity are seen as crucial for the world. While achieving these all together may seem utopian, scientific analyses have shown that it would be possible if the right mixture of action perspectives in various fields is used. This conference enables a discussion on the operationalization of action perspectives leading to a broadly accepted policy agenda and a vital, and finely-tuned research agenda
Our world is facing huge challenges; climate change, depleting natural resources, and a large uneven distribution of wealth, to only mention only a few. The planet is clearly under severe stress. It is thus obvious that sustainability is and will remain a key concept in the future. To be able to meet the challenges business has to play an increasing role in mitigating the treats to the planet. I am convinced there is no contradiction in running a financially viable business, while at the same time securing a sustainable development. One can not only view a company's role in society as providing financial value to the shareholders. Companies also need to provide products and services that contribute to sustainable growth and development and hereby create value for other stakeholders such as customers, suppliers, employees and future generations. The complexity in the challenges we are facing need cooperation between several actors in society; we need to effectively use resources from industry, governments and academia together. This conference provides a unique opportunity to get access to the latest scientific results, to discuss the issue with peers and perhaps, most importantly, to build bridges between different stakeholders.
The world faces huge environmental challenges - population increase, challenges to biodiversity and potential climate change. It is essential that they are considered in an integrated fashion, but also essential that where there are available policy responses - for instance through the application of new technologies to reduce carbon emissions - we move rapidly to design and implement them. This conference will help identify both the overall challenges and the specific responses possible.
Human activities are changing the Earth's climate and further human-induced climate change is inevitable. Observed changes in climate are already affecting biological systems across the world. There have been changes in species distributions; population sizes; the timing of reproduction or migration events; an increased frequency of pest and disease outbreaks and many coral reefs have undergone major bleaching episodes. Projected changes in climate during the 21st century will occur faster than in at least the past 10,000 years. This conference contributes to the challenge in contributing to the negotiation of a long-term, global and equitable regulatory framework to limit greenhouse emissions at a level that limits the increase in global mean surface temperature.

In Danny Kaye's eyes the 'perfect storm' of 2011 is over for Blu-ray and physical media, with the market levelling out he believes the future is bright for the format
According to Twentieth Century Fox Executive Vice President of Global Research & Technology Danny Kaye, Blu-ray and other physical media has a long way to go before it's written off by the likes of Netflix and LOVEFiLM Instant.
Despite the growth of these services Kaye is confident that physical media is still one of the best routes to go for arguing that the fluid nature of the internet means governance over content is much lower.
"We can govern the quality of Blu-ray, we can govern the quality of DVD for example, but even Netflix or say LOVEFiLM for example, can't govern the quality of their service delivery because it then depends on someone else [Internet Service Provider]"
Talking about the dip in physical media Kaye points out that there were a culmination of factors to blame, most prominent of which included the boom of streaming services.
"It was the perfect storm you know right? When the recession started perhaps it hit harder and earlier in the US and then started spreading elsewhere."
"It was the same time that you had a number of alternative channels of distribution begin to evolve and the consumer said, 'Wow that's pretty convenient, they're cheaper, in some cases they're really convenient and that's the way I'm going to go.'"
Despite these more 'convenient' alternatives Kaye believes strongly that any such dip in physical media was a natural reaction and has since ended, he further backs this up with the news that for Fox physical media is still growing.
"Obviously it's popular to talk about the 'decline of physical media' but even with the last four years of recession which have put a dent in the purchase model where maybe units did decline on DVD faster than perhaps Blu-ray could have compensated for,"
"[However] particularly in the US starting mid year 2011 the market began to stabilise and what you're now beginning to see in the start of 2012 is growth in the physical market"
Do you think Blu-ray is still better than streaming a film? Let us know which you prefer via the Facebook page...

Oracle University (OU) course formats explained
Over the years, we have developed various different course formats, each for a good reason. This can be sometimes confusing for (potential) attendees as I know from many events where I talked about that topic with participants of my courses. If you want to get Education from Oracle University or if you are an OU Sales person or Reseller, you may find the following brief explanation helpful.
Instructor-Lead Training (ILT) means that we have an Instructor who explains and demonstrates things live to the audience and answers questions. The audience interacts internally as well as with the Instructor. The time scope is fixed to a certain period (usually up to 5 days) for all participants equally. For example from 26-AUG to 30-AUG each day from 9 AM to 5 PM London Time.
ILT comes in two formats:
The traditional format that we have delivered from the start of OU. All participants are in the same room, interacting.
This may have the same content as Classroom Training, but it is delivered over the web. All participants interact, with the same hands-on labs like in Classroom Training and an Instructor explaining, demonstrating and answering questions.
Classroom Training respectively LVC can be delivered as a Public Event or Private Event.
Public Event means we have a course offered for anyone who wants to attend with Standard Content and Duration. It is paid per attendee.
Private Event means we have a course running exclusively for your company. It is paid per day. Makes typically sense for 4-5 or more attendees. The content may be also Standard, but we can also customize it regarding content and duration to your requirements. As a Classroom Training, the Private Event can take place at OU locations or at your site. LVC is also an option for a Private Event.
In addition to ILT course formats, we offer also Self-Paced Courses which have the advantage that you can take these at your own preferred time and speed without having to leave the office.
The most recent of our Self-Paced offerings is Training On Demand (TOD), which is essentially the recording of a Public Event as Classroom Training. You see the class as it was delivered by an Instructor at an OU site to customers. There is no live interaction, instead you can do that course on your own and at your own pace. You get the same courseware and access to the lab environment as with the Public Event, though.
Finally, we have Self-Study Courses. There is no Instructor (not even recorded) and no hands-on lab environment included. Instead, you get the content "presented using the latest multimedia and instructional design methods".
When you want to get more information about OU courses, especially if you want to take one of the above formats, I suggest that you call the number for your country listed here. It is sometimes easier to call than trying to find & book that course over the web…

Yep, it's true. Despite everything we know, crazy folks out there just keep insisting on buying real estate! Don't they know they should keep renting for 5 more years??
Anyway, a reader asked about recent Greenwich sales in the specific, fairly narrow price range of $1,000,000-1,350,000. In the last 6 months, there have been 32 such sales town-wide, reported (quite a few more are signed deals, but haven't closed yet). Here is the link to those 32 listings.
Of course, old Fudrucker will condemn me as a "cheerleader" just for reporting these sales because…well, because it doesn't jibe with his constant refrain of "The market's terrible, nobody's buying".
So now you know the definition of a real estate cheerleader; it's a person who reports the fact that people are out there buying and selling real estate.

ARLINGTON, Texas -- Detroit Tigers manager Jim Leyland has spoken several times in recent days about how proud he is of his injury-riddled team.
He continued along those lines late Saturday night after his team's season came to an end in a 15-5 loss to the Texas Rangers in Game 6 of the American League Championship Series.
"I managed a team that won a World Series," Leyland said, "and I don't think I've ever been prouder of a team than I am of this team. I mean that sincerely. They gave everything they had. They gave everything they had."
The Tigers battled through injuries to several key players in the postseason, but they managed to win Game 5 of the AL Division Series -- on the road at Yankee Stadium -- to advance to the ALCS.
The first five games of the ALCS were hard-fought, but Game 6 turned into a rout when the Rangers scored nine runs in the third inning to take a 9-2 lead. They pulled away from there.
"I would probably have gone into the offseason more disappointed if we would have gotten beat by one run," Leyland said. "I'm not going to go into the offseason disappointed at all. This team gave every single thing they had, every ounce of energy. I just couldn't be prouder of them.
"We got beat by the team that was the defending (AL) champion, and they defended their championship."
Leyland did not want to go into detail about the injuries the Tigers battled through in the postseason.
"Both teams are banged up at this time of the year," he said. "I might reflect back on that a little bit later on, but I don't think tonight is the night to do that. I think tonight is the night to give the Texas Rangers credit."

A Washington County judge sentenced Samuel Edward Paul to more than seven years in prison for robbing a Beaverton City Park snack kiosk and assaulting the kiosk clerk.
At trial last month, jurors found 40-year-old Paul guilty of first-degree robbery and second-degree assault in the April 2013 incident.
Senior Deputy District Attorney Bracken McKey said Paul was sentenced under Measure 11 to seven and a half years in prison.
The charges stemmed from an April 27, 2013, incident that witnesses caught on camera: Paul didn't get far with a cash register after he whacked a 60-year-old kiosk clerk with a soda can and yanked the till. Dropping the register, he ran from the snack counter and went home, where police soon found him.

Mayor Michael Bloomberg, a billionaire who got his start on Wall Street, sounds like he doesn't agree with President Obama's pay cap for top executives from companies that want bailouts.
Bloomberg says those bonuses may seem like a lot of money, but they trickle down into the economy and help everyone.
Asked Thursday about the cap, Bloomberg would not directly answer. But he said he doesn't think the government should get involved in telling businesses how they should be run.
Bloomberg said he understands there are strings attached when companies accept governm
ent money.
But he says the city relies on its tax base of wealthy workers and profitable companies.
