Anzac team on the cards
- From: The Australian
- June 20, 2012
ARU chief executive John O'Neill has suggested staging a game between a combined Australian and New Zealand Anzac team and the British and Irish Lions as part of the commemoration of the centenary of Gallipoli in 2015.
The match could be a forerunner to an Anzac or combined southern hemisphere team touring every four years, like the Lions.
"I've often wondered -- this is more speculative than anything else -- with the Gallipoli centenary coming up, the Anzacs, a combined All Blacks and Wallabies team, playing the Lions, would be a nice contest," O'Neill said. "We've talked about it internally. Scheduling would be an issue, but people are thinking about ways to commemorate the anniversary of Gallipoli.
"The Anzacs on the field of battle were a pretty potent force and a combined All Blacks-Wallabies team would be a pretty potent force, as well."
The idea of an Anzac or SANZAR team has been floated many times.
"We have often speculated we should try to do what the Lions do every four years," O'Neill said. "Maybe a combined SANZAR team. Bring South Africa into it.
"Find a spot in the calendar to do it, and you see how hard it is for the Lions to find a spot, but the concept of a combined SANZAR or Anzac team is something that gets bounced around. It often ends up in the too-hard basket, but it's conceptually got some appeal."
O'Neill said the game could be played every four years after the World Cup.
Meanwhile, O'Neill said "delicate" discussions were taking place between the ARU and the Super Rugby franchises to determine the availability of Wallabies for the midweek matches with the Lions on next year's tour of Australia.
"All five Super Rugby teams get a game against the Lions," O'Neill said. "I would think that for the earlier games, you'd like the Super Rugby teams to be at full strength. The closer you get to the Test matches, you may have to look at standing down some Wallabies.
"Winning the series is of paramount importance, but also you'd like the Super Rugby teams to be as near to full strength as possible."

Good god man, you'll see a massive difference. Cereals, cookies and donuts?? Wow. If you properly go Primal and eat your fats and all the rest of it, once the initial re-adaptation period wears off you'll wonder how you ever managed before.
Including my job, I cycle/walk with heavy bags about four hours a day, do around an hour to ninety minutes MA training most days, training sessions for two hours twice a week, and weights twice a week (squats, deadlift etc, not curls...) and I can certainly thrive eating Primal on that kind of activity level.
So in short, yes, you can do it, and make sure you get all your fats to replace the lack of carbs from all the crap you're eating at the moment.

For review, we've got the ASUS M4A88TD-V EVO/USB3 . Featuring integrated HD4250 graphics with DirectX 10.1 support, SATA3 and USB3 .0 support, it's pretty loaded, and for less than $120, it's looking good so far. However, as we all know, paper specs don't always match up to real-life performance, so let's take a closer look.

Abbeville County Manager Bruce Cooley says the county's tax assessor is no longer employed by the county, but says he can't say why.
Cooley told The Index-Journal of Greenwood that Tax Assessor Bobby Gladden left his position on Jan. 2, but said he can't give the reasons because it is a personnel matter.
Gladden told the newspaper he can't talk about what happened either. Gladden worked for Abbeville County for about seven years.
The newspaper said it has filed a public records request under the Freedom of Information Act for Gladden's personnel records.

Terry Roberts is the senior editor at The Compass
Editor's note: the following editorial also appears in the Jan. 29, 2013 print edition of The Compass.
After weeks of speculation, it's now known publicly that the CeeBee Stars of the Newfoundland and Labrador Senior Hockey League is a team with an uncertain future.
Officials and players with the Harbour Grace based club confirmed last week that the level of attendance at home games has not been enough to sustain the team, and belt-tightening measures have been implemented in order to get through the remainder of the season.
Beyond that's, it's anybody's guess.
Should we be surprised? Not at all. Anyone plugged in to the senior hockey scene in this region must have seen it coming.
That said, the CeeBees have received tremendous support from the local business community. One only needs to look around the rink, on the back of jerseys and on the team's website (http://www.ceebeestars.com) to see evidence of this. The coaching staff should also be commended for their attempts to build a winner, and have attracted some of the best players available.
But in order to successfully compete in what many considering a semi-pro league, where teams travel long distances and players get paid, a solid fan base is extremely important. While the team has its diehards, and they are among the best in the five-team league, there simply aren't enough of them.
To see large sections of the S. W. Moores Memorial Stadium unoccupied during games is a death knell. The team is drawing a paid attendance somewhere in the neighbourhood of 450-plus fans per game, which is well below the numbers that flock to arenas in Clarenville, Gander, Grand Falls-Windsor and Deer Lake. And ticket prices are lower in Harbour Grace.
One official described the team's take from the two recent home games as "pathetic," and even the split from the 50/50 - under $600 for one recent game - had tongues wagging.
It all culminated with a team meeting last week, where a plan was devised to make it through the final few weeks of the season, which includes an important home game against Clarenville on Friday, and two homes games against Gander on Feb. 9 and 10 that could determine whether the CeeBees make the playoffs.
So how did we get to this point? The first factor is the team's record. Despite an impressive roster, the team has won only once on home ice this season, though every game has been close, proving the CeeBees can compete in this league. And there's plenty of whispers that if the team can advance to the post-season, some upsets could be in the offing.
But many also point to the league schedule as a factor. CeeBee fans became accustomed to the home and home weekend format when the team competed in the Avalon East League, with the CeeBees hosting on Saturday nights. They also expected a winning team. Year in and year out, the CeeBees contended for the Herder Memorial Trophy, and actually won it on three occasions.
In the NLSHL, home and home weekend tilts are impossible because of the distances between teams, and Sunday afternoon games have become the norm.
Some have also speculated that proximity to St. John's and that city's American Hockey League franchise is bleeding support from the CeeBees.
Whatever the reason, a stark reality is now on the horizon, and questions are being asked. Does senior hockey have a future in Conception Bay North? Should the team make a return to the Avalon East League? Could the team have done more to attract fans to home games? If the team folds after this season, is it possible to revive the storied franchise once a new arena is built in Harbour Grace?
And fans should also ask themselves if they could have done more to support the team.
These and other questions will be answered in due course, but for now it's important that the team finish the season on a high note. We all have a role to play in ensuring that happens, not just the players.

Mercedes-Benz is heading into a new segment, this time with a four-door coupe measuring 4630mm long, 1777mm wide and 1437mm high.
The German carmaker offered a sneak peek at its baby CLS at the Detroit motor show ahead of its world debut at the Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Berlin starting January 15, 2013.
The CLA is based on the Concept Style Coupe first shown at Auto China in April 2012 where it, according to Merc's chairman, proved very popular. Dieter Zetsche said: 'The response to the Concept Style Coupé was overwhelming. The most frequent comment by far was "Please put this car into series production." That's precisely what we are doing now.'
Apart from ushering in a new niche for Merc, where the manufacturer aims to score a number of younger buyers, the CLA also comes with a range of standard equipment including the radar-based Collision Prevention Assist now in operation from 7kph (and no longer 30kph).
The CLA will occupy a particularly sporty slot in the Merc line-up and will, fittingly, come with features such as a 155kW turbo engine, sports suspension and 4matic all-wheel drive with variable torque distribution.
A range of petrol and diesel engines will be offered, ranging from a 90kW 1.6-litre petrol in the CLA 180 to the 155kW CLA 250. All the engines feature an Eco start/stop function as standard, combined with a six-speed manual transmission or a 7G-DCT dual clutch transmission.
The interior is said to be finished in high-quality materials with metallic finishes for the trim surfaces. In its quest to target the social media target group, smartphones can be integrated into the car's display and operating system, too.
To appeal to the 'multimedia generation', as Merc calls is, the CLA is also kitted with new functions, apps and a customisable colour scheme.
Daimler's Digital Drive Style app adds extra functionality to the carmaker's iPhone app and allows, for instance, Siri voice control and real-time location sharing. Other functions include Facebook, Twitter, internet radio and 3D map displays integrated into the Comand Online multimedia system.
Merc's CLA will be available in South Africa from November 2013.

Front Desk Receptionists in the United States are largely women. The group as a whole has a nationwide average of $11.47 per hour for pay. Pay ranges from $8.55 per hour on the low end to $15.89 on the high end. Location is the main element affecting pay for this group — tenure and the particular employer are driving factors as well. Most Front Desk Receptionists like their work and job satisfaction is high. Health benefits are not claimed by all — close to one-half lack any form of coverage — but approximately half have medical insurance, and over a third have dental, too. This snapshot results from replies to PayScale's salary survey.

Add this chart to your site:
Copy and paste this HTML:
Front desk receptionists perform a wide variety of front desk duties for an organization. They welcome and greet visitors or guests, ask if they have appointments and look at the schedule to confirm details of the visitors' appointments. They call the individuals that are expecting the visitors to let them know that they have arrived; if instructed, they direct the visitor to the appropriate location within the company. The front desk receptionist must follow all security procedures, as well as monitor the logbook of visitors and issue visitor badges if needed. They must maintain a clean reception area, as well as comply with their company's procedures, rules and regulations at all times. Additionally, front desk receptionists must answer the phone at the front desk, routing calls and responding to questions.Read More...
A high school diploma or equivalent is generally the minimum educational requirement for front desk receptionist positions. Possessing a certificate in a relevant field from a trade or vocational school may be beneficial. Experience as a receptionist is generally required or preferred as well. Many employers require their front desk receptionists to be knowledgeable in basic computer software such as the Microsoft Office suite. Additionally, front desk receptionists must have excellent typing, communication and multitasking skills. They should be able to work effectively with a wide variety of coworkers and visitors.
Pay for Front Desk Receptionists is the lowest at Holiday Inn Express, which has a median salary of $18K. In addition, there's little room to grow there, with salaries maxing out at $27K.
Survey results imply that Front Desk Receptionists deploy a deep pool of skills on the job. Most notably, skills in Administration, Office Administration, Microsoft Excel, and Phone Support are correlated to pay that is above average. Skills that seem to negatively impact pay include Telephony. Most people who know Phone Support also know Data Entry. The majority of those who know Customer Service also know Scheduling, Data Entry, and Customer Relations.
Median of all compensation (including tips, bonus, and overtime) by years of experience.
For Front Desk Receptionists, experience does not seem to be a major factor in determining pay. The average worker who claims fewer than five years of experience earns around $23K. In contrast, however, individuals who report five to 10 years in this occupation see a much larger median of $27K. Front Desk Receptionists claiming one to two decades of experience make an estimated median of $28K. Ultimately, more time spent in the workforce does seem to translate to bigger paychecks; seasoned veterans with more than 20 years of experience report a median income of $30K.
Front Desk Receptionists will find that Washington offers an impressive pay rate, one which exceeds the national average by 26 percent. Front Desk Receptionists can also look forward to large paychecks in cities like New York (+26 percent), Denver (+24 percent), Dallas (+17 percent), and Seattle (+15 percent). With compensation 6 percent below the national average, Miami is not known for hefty paychecks and actually represents the lowest-paying market.

Wish I could have made a video of the very frustrated student preparing for her final, which of course means integrating thing.
Find the Y intercept of:
y = SQRT(x + 4) - 5 (I'm not going to search out the radical) --- she is supposed to find the y int
So she added five to both sides...
y + 5 = SQRT 4
and then squared both sides
Y^2 + 10y + 25 = 4
When I asked her what the square root of four was, she knew it was two, but she said "But I was following the steps! That's not fair!"
She had just been complaining bitterly that if the bottom of the fractino said "square root of fifteen" you had to do something different to rationalize it than when it said "square root of five - square root of seven" ...
One key symptom of her issues is that she would use words and phrases like "take it out" or "cancel" instead of the operation being done. When I would show her the operations rationalizing a cube root at the bottom caused the predictable confusion -- the procedure isn't exactly the same! She had written down cube root 2 x cube root 2 = cube root 8, and I asked her about that and she didn't see the conflict; that 2 x 2 should be 4 *all the time.* No, the square root should disappear all the time. All of these things are their own inscrutable ceremonies that have nothing to do with each other. To further compound things, she does the otherwise intelligent strategy of filtering out what I say so that she attends to what's most important... except that that means that all the questions I ask about what 2 x 2 is are ignored as she listens desperately for "what to do."
That kind of thinking can be "caught..." but the other stuff has to be unlearned.

Greetings everyone,
I'd like to share an interesting document (quite lengthy, but all the better because you don't need to ask where the beef is) put out by the Washington State Board for Community & Technical Colleges last year. The links are at http://www.sbctc.ctc.edu/college/abepds/wa_math_cf_2009.pdf and http://www.sbctc.ctc.edu/college/abepds/wa_abe_math_continuum_2009.pdf.
Discussions continue on this list about how to make math "concrete", both in the sense of teaching it with reference to day-to-day life and also how to scaffold instruction so that studies of numbers can take on personal meaning. The document takes the math standard of Equipped for the Future (EFF) and effectively runs with it - no easy task!

BTW the KO was in 25 moves, not rds vs fellow GM Edouard Romain in a rapid transit game played at the Geneva Masters Tnmt on 28.06.13. Alexandra Kosteniuk (born 23.04.84 in Perm, Russia) was the 12th women's world chess champion. She started to play chess at the age of 5. At the age of 14 she became a woman grandmaster (GM). In 2001, at the age of 17, she reached the final stage of the women's world chess championship and became the vice-champion of the world. In 2004 she became the European Champion among women in and became the tenth woman to be awarded the men's GM title. In 2005 she won the Women's Russian Championship. In 2008 she became the 12th Women's World Chess Champion and held the title for two years. She has been playing for the Russian National Team since 2002, which won the Chess Olympiad-2010 and became 3-times winner of the European Team Championship (2007, 2009 and 2011).

Very nicely played by the Chess Queen! When I found out she was in this tournament I was overjoyed! NimzoRoy tnx for sharing this !!
@ deepmac let me show you some stats on 4...Bf5
@ andrewlong Yeah after thinking it over I decided the original title sucked even though it was alliterative, but I never thought about anyone taking it seriously when that's the first thing they saw (a glaring oversight on my part)
@ GeniuKJ and RR I'm not defending 3...Qd8 but I had a distinct impression it used to be considered OK so I looked at MCO-10 (1965) which devoted 2 out of 5 columns to it(!) and BTW MCO-10 was way more comprehensive than MCO-15 (probably twice as much material at least)
The following stats, much to even my surprise, seem to indicate the awful looking 3...Qd8 isn't radically worse than 3...Qa5 or 3...Qd6 BUT it only accounts for about 6% of all games after 3.Nc3 (I omitted several more results adding up to another 835 games)
My CB BIG DB with 5.5 million games shows
3...Qa5 37,300 games 44% (B) 2015/2002*
3...Qd6 11,480 games 45% (B) 2135/2102*
3...Qd8 3,600 games 40% (B) 2030/2000*
*Average rating/Performance rating
The Game Explorer Master Games DB here shows 7% of all games w/...Qd8
Good title change. I thought this was a blog about murder originally. :P
Let this game be a lesson to all scandinavian players! That is scandinavian defense players not scandinavian-ethnicity players. Each time I face it I take extra care to win since moving your queen out on the second move is a form of bravado I feel I need to punish. Unfortunately this urge has led to one too many losses.
Wow!! I have almost never such forcing play before! Well done Alexandra.
Congratss to Alexandra, winning to an amost 200+ elo rated player is really hard
kj qd8 is ok move why it poor just a tempomaybe? but of course i see some game played by capablnca with line is it fine 100% fine
3...Qd8 is a poor move.
I have played the Center Game for years, and I was under the impression that 3... Qd8 was a very poor move.
Amazing play by Alexandra!

Seifert says MNsure needs to be 'deconstructed'

This is what happens when you elect a President and a Governor neither one of which has ever had to earn a paycheck from a profit-making business. The result is two health-care systems, Obamacare and MNsure, that are pathetic jokes and a horrendous waste of taxpayer dollars.

We need single payer, we need to get a realistic vision of health care that includes traditional medicine and alternative systems, self-care and prevention, less emphasis on drugs, bigger picture culturally (toxins in environment and crapfoods), communities designed for exercise and healthy living.
Marty, lots of things need deconstructing, like this poisoned ag landscape we support to kill birds and bees and create tankloads of hfcs designed to beef up our derrieres and support the dental industrial cavity complex.
We need to deconstruct the dangerous idea that growth is necessary, when we live in a finite world with finite resources that we will not be able to give to our bazillions of grandchildren that we breed wantonly without regard for nature.
WWJD? He would deconstruct those things, yep.

OIIOHH? "millions of people are losing their health insurance", is a lie, is a conservative talking point. Tell me how many of those "millions" just signed up for another plan? All of them? Pretty much. How many people will now have insurance come January 1st that didn't have it before? Now that # will be millions.I myself recently purchased new health insurance for my own family, my previous company raised its rates on us for 2014 like they did on many. So I went into the market, I saved $100 a month in premium and lowered my deductible by $3000 all the while getting a better policy. I expect to save over $5000 in healthcare expenses this year from last, thats the real deal a real world experience.

Several points really - how much are your co-pays and what are you doing for all your low wage employees that don't have health care? Did you properly report your projected earnings or did you low ball because you know no one will check and you will get a nice subsidy.
I guess five million getting their policies canceled is a liberal wet dream so enjoy your fantasy.

Al, go back and look at your argument and the statement from Really. On top of that, you seem to be throwing farmers under the bus with your statement about lowballing earnings and getting a nice subsidy.

Really, really? Please bring a brain. So if I am golfing, and I lose my $5.00 golf ball, only to find an old ball when looking for mine, I really didn't lose mine after all? Please.

We don't get to decide what quote we are most associated with. Clinton's surely is "I did not have sexual relations with that woman" So far, obama's is "if you like your health care plan, you can keep it". It will be hard for him to top that one.

Pfc. Pawel S. Serafin, 28, was seated in the back seat of a late-model black Audi traveling on a two-lane, rural road near Colorado Springs when the car crossed over the center line and hit an oncoming flatbed utility truck, said Sgt. John Hahn, a spokesman for the Colorado State Patrol.
Serafin and another passenger, Spc. Kale D. Clay, of Boise, Idaho, were pronounced dead at the scene, Hahn said.
The driver of the Audi is in critical condition at a local hospital, Hahn said. The driver of the truck had serious injuries that were not life threatening, he said.
"At this point in the investigation it appears that speed and alcohol are the leading contributing factors to the crash at this point," Hahn said. The investigation is ongoing and charges are likely for the driver of the Audi, he said.
Serafin had only been at the Army base for three months before the accident. Relatives said he approached his new assignment with renewed sense of focus.
"Just tell them your boyfriend is busy saving the world if they ask you what he does," he once told a girlfriend, according to Damian Serafin, 24, his youngest brother.
Serafin was single and had no children. He was born in Mielic, Poland and arrived in New Jersey in 1992 with his parents, Danuta and Jozef, and his two brothers. The family immigrated to improve the livelihoods of the children in the chaos following the fall of Communism, said Damian Serafin.
Serafin was very proud of his Polish heritage, but also had loyalty to the United States, said James Leiman, 27, a good friend and a classmate at Hillsborough High School. Both graduated in 2000.
He had a thick accent, said Leiman, and through high school he went by the nickname "Polish Pawel," pronounced "Paul." When he was of legal age, Serafin got the outline of Poland tattooed on his chest, said Leiman.
"Everything about the guy was Poland," said Leiman.
Soon after high school though, he enlisted in the Army with Leiman. At that point he discovered that with U.S. citizenship, which he would acquire years later, he might be able to make a career as an intelligence analyst.
After postponing his enlistment, Serafin was briefly enrolled at Raritan Valley Community College, and studied business management, said his brother. Later, he ran a carpet installation business.
Serafin enlisted in the U.S. Army in April 2009 and was assigned to the 3rd Battalion of the 16th Field Artillery Regiment, part of the 2nd Brigade Combat Team based at Fort Carson, Colo., according to the Army.
Serafin was known as an eternal optimist, his brother said, and as a man who could tackle any problem with a smile.
"Nothing was unaccomplishable to my brother," said his brother, "There was nothing in the world that could not be done."

Breast Cancer: Basic and Clinical Research 2012:6 181-190
Published on 19 Nov 2012

As the number of cancer survivors rises, so does the importance of understanding what happens post-chemotherapy. The evidence is clear that chemotherapy affects not only cancer cells, but also healthy cells including neurons, leading to long-term cognitive dysfunction in a large portion of survivors. In order to understand the mechanism of action and in the hope of reducing the potential neurocognitive side effects of chemotherapy, pre-clinical testing should be used more effectively. However, the field is lacking translation from clinical studies to animal models. Spatial learning and memory paradigms based on the water maze, the most commonly used rodent model, are available for translational testing in humans and could overcome this weakness. There is an overwhelming need in the field to understand whether the water maze is an adequate model for post-chemotherapy impairments or whether other paradigms should be used. This is of great importance for the understanding of the mechanisms, side effects of new drugs, appropriate pharmacotherapy, and confounding factors related to chemotherapy treatment regiments. This review is very important to both basic scientists and clinicians determining how translational paradigms are critical to future cancer research, as well as what type of paradigms are appropriate in our technically advancing society.

New Mexico State University Cooperative Extension Service is sponsoring a bus tour Thursday, Aug. 12, to explore various eradication programs working to rid northeastern New Mexico of the salt cedar.
Quay County Extension agriculture agent Pete Walden said the tour is designed to portray the actual spraying and let everyone see what is working in controlling salt cedar.
"This is a chance to get everybody in the watershed together and explain they can have salt cedar sprayed at no or minimal cos," said Walden. An invasive plant that covers some 31,000 acres along the Canadian River watershed, the salt cedar is widespread along river banks in the Southwest and is widely blamed for loss of natural water resources. The free bus tour begins at 6:30 a.m. at the Farrier Science Building in Tucumcari. The NMSU bus will also pick up participants in Logan at 7 a.m. The tour will stop at both Mosquero Creek and Ute Creek to demonstrate the use of helicopters spraying the cedars and biological control using goats.
Next the tour participants will visit Hopson Ranch, where a creek bed that had been dry for 23 years began flowing again, despite a four-year drought. Presenters from the New Mexico Association of Soil and Water Conservation Districts, the Canadian River Municipal Water Authority, the New Mexico State University Cooperative Extension Service and the Natural Resources Conservation Service will discuss funding methods and incentive programs for spraying, application methods, what to do after spraying, and the history of salt cedar.
Participants will be eligible for three and a half hours of continuing education credits towards becoming pesticide license holders. A free lunch will be provided at the Bueyeros School House. Sponsoring the event are the Canadian and Ute Creek soil and water conservation districts, NMSU's Cooperative Extension Service, CRMWA, and Aero Tech's Ted Stallings of Clovis.
Walden says that participants should call (505) 461-0562 so that meal reservations can be made or to make arrangements for individuals with disabilities to attend the meeting.

Name* Email* Your name* Your email* Comments Submit PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti - The main development bank for Latin America says the Jan. 12 earthquake that ravaged Haiti's capital might have caused nearly $14 billion in damage. The preliminary study released Tuesday says the magnitude-7 earthquake could be the deadliest and costliest disaster on a list that dates back four decades. Economists with the Inter-American Development Bank used figures including death-toll estimates of 200,000 to 250,000 to calculate that damage could be worth anywhere from $7.2 billion to $13.9 billion. That is more than the country's gross domestic product. The authors also warn that in past disasters, personal wealth remained 30 per cent lower 10 years after the events even with large amounts of international aid.

High test scores and access to college level courses allowed Wyomissing Area High School to rank as the third most challenging school in the state.
"We are just proud. We are so proud and so excited and we will celebrate this as much as we can," said Julia Vicente, Wyomissing's superintendent.
Each year, the Washington Post releases a list of the most challenging schools in the nation. Wyomissing beat out more than 600 other schools to achieve the honor.
Administrators said their secret is encouraging students to take the most rigorous courses and pursue a college education.
"We have very focused and very competitive students. They are very serious and they have very supportive parents," said Corey Jones, principal.
Juan Santillan, a former Wyomissing student, experienced the rigorous education firsthand.
"I went to Reading School District first and then the transition to Wyomissing was actually pretty hard, but it helped out in college though," Santillan said.
Parents and students we spoke with said it is no surprise that the school got such a great review. They have always been happy with the curriculum.
"We moved here two and half years ago and we are really happy with the district and the education that they are getting," said Wyomissing parent Nancy Tietbohl.
"I am not surprised. I worked there. There is fantastic teachers, great administration, a supportive school board, parents who are driven," said Shillington parent Mike Mitchell.
Wyomissing is a top-ranked public school for the third straight year. The principal said the school could not have done it without the teachers.

Recap: 'Dollhouse' Finale - 'Epitaph 2: Return'
I'd like to sit here and tell you that "Epitaph Two: The Return" is an unmitigated triumph, an episode of television that will singlehandedly push future generations to realize that "Dollhouse" is nothing less than a stellar 26-episode miniseries and one that will redeem even some of the series' weaker outings by revealing their place in the overall scheme. And, actually, it does some of that. It's a very, very good episode of television, notable for the fact that it looks like it was made with whatever pocket change Joss Whedon found in his couch. What's more, the script itself here is quite well done, bristling with heady ideas and a forward momentum that never lets up. But some of the episode's execution is off. Not so much that it ruins the experience but enough that this won't sit proudly alongside the "Angel" finale as one of the all-time greats.
[Full recap of Friday's (Jan. 29) series finale of "Dollhouse" after the break...]
My favorite thing about "Epitaph Two," though, is the way that it plays around with where the regular characters have ended up in the series' future world where tech has overrun most everyone and turned them into marauding warriors or shambling dolls or the very rich, living large on the problems of others. Priya and Tony have a son, but Tony has chosen to once again be Victor, unable to leave behind the life of a doll and having all of the knowledge he might need constantly at his fingertips (in the form of USB flash drives). Echo, meanwhile, has acquired a kicky white streak in her hair and is wandering around the streets of the newly founded city of "Neuropolis," trying to free the slaves, more or less. Adelle's really gotten into gardening. Topher's still nuts but could save the human race. And Ballard's posing as a mute dumbshow to take out some of the guys behind this whole thing. (Oh, Alpha's running the LA Dollhouse for some reason, which is simultaneously inexplicable and awesome.)
Once again, the show feels free to follow the story of Mag, Zone and Little Caroline, the three characters introduced in "Epitaph One" (which is still the series' best episode, and if you haven't seen it, I can't imagine this episode making any sense). The three are on their way to Safehaven, the camp that Echo and the others have set up out in the desert, a kind of post-apocalyptic oasis where all can live their lives free of fear that they'll be imprinted out of nowhere, even as their missions take them deeper and deeper into enemy territory. The economical way that Whedon and his writers (with this episode credited to Maurissa Tancharoen, Jed Whedon and Andrew Chambliss) set up this hellscape is surprisingly thorough for an episode that has little time to suggest a universe as large as this one does. It shows all involved have been reading their post-apocalyptic literature and suggests that if that lunch with John Landgraf of FX goes well, Whedon and his merry band should adapt the video game series "Fallout" to a TV show.
There are affecting images and moments in "Epitaph Two" by the score, but it says something about the episode that almost all of them come in the episode's latter half. There's a rushed quality to the entirety of the episode (even the latter half), once again giving the sense that Whedon and all are trying to cram a whole bunch of story into just 40+ minutes of time (though there's less of a sense of this than there was in the last episode). Mag, Zone and Little Caroline all get to Safehaven remarkably quickly, and while they're taken to Neuropolis upon arrival there, they're just as quickly broken out. The early going has the rather disjointed, quest-based structure of, well, of a video game.
Further hampering matters is the fact that the guest players here are really not very good. Every time we get a scene between the regulars or the recurring players, it's as golden as the rest of the stuff they've given us this season. But every time the story goes over to moments between Victor's happy band of wasteland warriors or between a very rich, very fat man and his assistant, the air slowly deflates out of the episode. The lines these people are given aren't bad, per se, but they highlight the fact that the dialogue on a Whedon show - even the exposition - has such a precise rhythm and cadence to it that if you can't nail it just right, it's going to come off as either flat or hokey. In this episode, it's mostly flat, largely because the day players just aren't up to the dialogue and for whatever reason, no one decided to bring them up to speed. (Or maybe they did and it just didn't happen.) Regardless, there are more than a few cringeworthy moments in this episode when the regulars aren't on screen.
And the flat air seems to reach out and affect Eliza Dushku - poor, embattled Eliza Dushku! - for the first half of the episode as well. Again, she's not exactly bad, but she's back to her first season portrayal of Echo as essentially a blank slate who's starting to remember some of the things written on her in the past. There's none of the feistiness she's brought to the role in the recent episodes. The other actors are all doing what they can with the material (though it's odd to see Felicia Day in such an action heroine-y role), but the whole thing feels very back and forth.
Once the episode gets on the big truck back to Los Angeles, though, it's off to the races with all of the stuff that "Dollhouse" does so well, all of the stuff that the series finds interesting to think about and talk about. There are heartbreaking scenes here - Echo's talk with Adelle about what's to come (followed by a hug that felt strangely a long time in coming). There are moving scenes here - anything with Priya and Tony and their son. There are even some great action sequences here, like that trippy firefight in the decimated streets of LA, the gunfire lighting up the soundstage and the HD cameras capturing it almost as a long series of freeze frames. (There's seriously some great camera work in the "Epitaph" episodes, and while it's basically guaranteed no one in the academy will notice, it's Emmy-worthy.)
What measures "Dollhouse" as a TV show that mattered, ultimately, is the fact that the multiple endings of "Epitaph Two," which run from muted to explode-y, all focus on characters whose fates I'm genuinely interested in at this point. I'm glad that so many of them got happy endings, even Topher, who surely viewed his death as a burst of relief. I'm glad that the series found ways to wrap up its storylines without really cheating and that the happy ending it offered was also one where lots of hard work lay ahead of our heroes. "Dollhouse" was a strange little show. I get that the plot development might not have been as consistent as many would have liked, and I get that the show's early going was very, very rough. But overall, I'm left with a sense that the show keyed in on a very specific question - what does it mean to be human? - and explored so many facets of that question that it ended up a success. Maybe "Dollhouse" will always remain a curio, but a part of me is already looking forward to watching it over from the first episode on.
Some final, final thoughts:
*** While that scene with the bigwigs in Neuropolis featured some truly painful acting, it centered in on the series' key political theme in a very specific and pointed way. "Dollhouse" was always about how the very rich keep the rabble under lock and key, and that scene, where a bunch of poor bastards (in all senses of the word) were brought into the room for the fat, rich man to choose a new suit to wear, was like something out of a 19th century realist tract.
*** It may have just been my affiliate, but that final cut to black was VERY abrupt, though I loved the final shot itself.
*** I loved a lot of the lines in this episode, but "tiny messiah" felt a bit too quirky.
*** Finally, if nothing else, Enver Gjokaj and Dichen Lachman need to find a series worthy of their talents and soon. And I'd love to see Olivia Williams turn up for a season-long stint on one of TV's top dramas. (And please not "Grey's Anatomy.")
Your final discussion question: What do you ultimately think of "Dollhouse" overall?

The county's three fastest growing school districts — Kingsway Regional, East Greenwich and Swedesboro-Woolwich — have decided to allocate the additional state aid they will be receiving in varying ways.
In Gov. Chris Christie's final budget, an additional $850 million of educational aid was allocated to the state's schools and each district had until this week to decide if they will use the money for the 2011-2012 school year, hold it for the 2012-2013 budget or give it back to the tax payers.
The East Greenwich, Kingsway and Swedesboro-Woolwich districts have all had issues with overcrowding in the past few years as their respective populations grow, and each board has had to ask themselves what the best avenue would be for them to take in regards to the infusion of funds.
The Kingsway Regional District, which had to cut 10 teaching positions in the 2011-2012 budget, will be using half of their $286,181 of additional funding to try and replace some of those losses and use the rest to offset tax increases.
"We're going to use some of the money and reduce class sizes," said Superintendent Jim Lavender. "Our numbers are creeping over 30 in some middle and high school classes. We're going to try and reach out to some of the teachers we let go."
The Swedesboro-Woolwich district, which has been the most influential and outspoken about gaining additional funding to offset their drastically growing population, will also be splitting the $187,069 they will be receiving. But rather than hiring back teachers, they will be putting the first half of the money back into this year's budget. The second half will be put into the budget for the 2012-2013 school year, hopefully to keep the budget stable as new students enter.
"The years of underfunding have created a situation that if we don't retain that money we will have to end up with a tax increase or not be able to retain the programs we have," said Superintendent Victor Valeski.
Swedesboro-Woolwich has been working with local legislators to create a program that would allow districts that are growing at a high rate, like themselves, Kingsway and East Greenwich, to be get additional money each year and to enforce 2008's fair funding formula, which was designed to allow schools funding based on population.
"Until we finally get the adequate funding that we need, a real strong infusion of money, we're just going to be playing this game of catch up," Valeski said.
In East Greenwich Township the school board decided to hold off on spending any of the $114,331 it will be receiving and allocate it to the 2012-2013 school year.
"At this point we've made our budget, we've reduced taxes this year. Let's make sure we can do that again next year," said Greg Wilson, the district's business administrator.

DETROIT -- It stood out because it so rarely happens.
Anibal Sanchez has been so good this season that a start like the one he had Monday night in an 8-6 loss for the Detroit Tigers to the Oakland Athletics really sticks out.
Sanchez still put the Tigers in position to win. The game was tied 4-4 when he left. The Tigers stranded the bases loaded two times late in the game. Three Tigers relievers surrendered runs after Sanchez left the mound. Four Tigers pitchers combined to walk eight batters. Sanchez didn't even figure into the decision. But he had his worst outing in recent memory.
Sanchez lasted just five innings. He hasn't had a shorter start since June 15. He allowed four earned runs, marking just the fifth time in 23 starts this season that he's allowed more than two earned runs.
The four runs were the most he has allowed since July 11. His three walks were the most in any start since July 19.
"He was just totally out of sync for whatever reason," Tigers manager Jim Leyland said. "I don't know what it was. Certainly you're allowed to have those. He's been absolutely fantastic, and that's one of those games where it just wasn't his day."
He wasn't alone. Jose Alvarez relieved Sanchez to start the sixth inning and surrendered four hits in a span of five batters. The A's scored two runs to take a 6-4 lead while Alvarez was in the game.
Al Alburquerque got out of the jam when he replaced Alvarez and induced a ground ball for an inning-ending double play, but he then issued two walks and a single in the seventh as the A's tacked on another run. Jeremy Bonderman finished up with two innings of work, but he walked three batters and allowed a run.
"We just didn't pitch good," Leyland said to start his postgame press conference, "and I don't know what to tell you."
Then later:
- "We just didn't pitch well."
- "We just didn't pitch good."
- "We just didn't pitch very well."
- "We didn't pitch good."
- "We made bad pitches."
- "We just didn't pitch very well."
- "We didn't pitch good."
- "We just didn't pitch good enough."
- "We just didn't pitch good at all."
The Tigers have the top ERA among American League teams by a slim margin over the Kansas City Royals overall and by a wide margin over the Boston Red Sox when it comes to starting pitchers. In addition to leading the American League in ERA, Tigers starters lead in wins, strikeouts and WHIP.
Justin Verlander has won a Most Valuable Player award and a Cy Young. Max Scherzer is the frontrunner to win the Cy Young this season. Sanchez has pitched well enough to warrant Cy Young consideration.
Those three along with Doug Fister and Rick Porcello give the Tigers five starting pitchers with 10 or more wins and four with ERAs of 3.68 or lower.
The poor start stood out because it rarely happens. That's the case for Sanchez, for sure. But if one looks at the numbers, they show that it happens less to starters for the Tigers than it does for any other team in the American League.

Run DMC's debut album hit shelves (shelves were where they put record albums, back then) 30 years ago today, March 27, 1984. Both deliberately in honor of that anniversary and apparently just coincidentally, the web has been full of interesting hip-hop stories lately. Here's a few:
The Wu-Tang Clan has a new album in limited release — very limited. Only one copy has been pressed of the double album "The Wu — Once Upon A Time In Shaolin," and fans will have to hear it in the context of exhibitions. The record, which resides in a specially crafted engraved silver box, will then possibly be sold to a collector for, Forbes magazine said, a "multimillion-dollar price tag."
"This is like somebody having the scepter of an Egyptian king," the RZA told Forbes.
Speaking of the Wu-Tang, one New York music fan is spearheading a campaign to name a street in honor of the group in its native Staten Island, NY. Though the city is the birthplace of hip-hop, LeRoy McCarthy says, it falls short in paying tribute to genre pioneers with honorary street names, as it does more readily with other famous New Yorkers, and he's leading the effort to change that.
From John Surico's Narrative.ly story on McCarthy's efforts: "They're not nurturing it, they're not taking care of it," (McCarthy) says, referring to City Hall, not the city's denizens. "New Orleans shares with everyone that this is the birthplace of jazz. You go to Nashville, they hoot and holler about country music. Where is New York City's recognition of hip-hop?"
If you're wondering where such landmarks might be established, check out the Vulture site's new illustrated map of New York hip-hop. (Over here, by the way, is a like-minded map of New Orleans sites of hip-hop significance that photographer Aubrey Edwards and I put together as part of our NOLA rap oral history project, between 2008 and 2010.)
Happy 30th, Run DMC!
The New York Times reported yesterday on the phenomenon of hip-hop lyrics being introduced as evidence at criminal trials, which, if you remember, happened here in New Orleans in 2011 during the trial of rapper Christopher "B.G." Dorsey.
And the Oregonian newspaper has a thorough and fascinating multimedia story up on hip-hop in Portland, Oregon, which (based, admittedly, on viewings of the comedy sketch show "Portlandia") I had no idea existed.

Penn State football will play at least one night regular season game for the 14th consecutive season.
Penn State will host Michigan on Oct. 12 for the Nittany Lions' 94th annual Homecoming game and the contest is slated for a 5 pm kick. ABC, ESPN and ESPN2 announced their prime-time games for the upcoming season Monday afternoon and the Lions' homecoming game will air on ESPN or ESPN2.
But that's not the only Penn State football game that will receive plenty of television coverage.
On Oct. 26 Penn State plays Ohio State in Columbus in a game that is set for an 8 pm kick and it will be featured on either ABC, ESPN or ESPN2. The night kick with the Buckeyes will mark the fifth time in the last nine seasons that the two programs have played eachother in primetime.
The sun will be setting for the Lions' homecoming game and should prove to make a lively atmosphere for the 17th meeting between Penn State and Michigan. The Lions won the last three meetings and 2013 marks the first time the teams are playing each other since 2010. The two schools will both be part of the Big Ten East Division and will meet each year starting in 2014.
Ohio State holds a 15-13 series lead over the Lions but Penn State's last trip to Columbus resulted in the team's first win without Joe Paterno serving as the head coach. The Buckeyes will join the Big Ten East Division in 2014 allowing the teams to play annually as well.
With head coach Bill O'Brien trying to set up big-time games to help his team overcome bowl bans both of these start times have to work in the program's favor. More exposure for his program will be gained by playing in these big-time television time slots, something that bodes well for the current team as well as for recruits.
The Big Ten announced it will release more start times for prime-time games next week.

Treating Abnormal Bleeding?
Is there any effective remedy for benign endometrial cystic hyperplasia, besides ablation and ultimately hysterectomy? Is ablation successful? Is it okay to go for a medical therapy if one does not want to go in for ablation or hysterectomy?
Answer (Published 3/9/2009)
Endometrial hyperplasia is an overgrowth of the lining of the uterus. It typically occurs in the years immediately before or after menopause. Risk factors including being overweight, having diabetes or polycystic ovarian syndrome, or taking estrogen without progesterone to relieve the symptoms of menopause. The most common symptom of endometrial hyperplasia is abnormal vaginal bleeding.

I discussed your question with Tieraona Low Dog, M.D., an internationally recognized expert in the fields of integrative medicine, dietary supplements and women's health. She said that based on the information you provided, her assumption would be that you were given the diagnosis of benign endometrial cystic hyperplasia because you were having heavy menstrual bleeding. Because we don't know your age or your feelings about having children, Dr. Low Dog said she could only offer you general advice. She noted that it isn't uncommon for women in their mid-to-late forties to have anovulatory cycles (menstrual cycles without ovulation) and heavy periods and to develop some benign hyperplasia. When women tell their physicians that they don't desire more children, a hysterectomy is often offered to deal with the condition permanently. Endometrial ablation or hysteroscopy with D and C (dilation and curettage) are less permanent surgical approaches.
She noted that while there aren't any proven herbal or alternative remedies that she would suggest trying, non-surgical (medical) treatments are available for dealing with this condition. The one Dr. Low Dog recommends – providing that you are monogamous and an appropriate candidate – is the levonorgestrel IUD (Mirena). The IUD is inserted into the uterus, where the low dose progestin it provides acts locally to dramatically reduce blood loss and treat the hyperplasia. There may be some irregular light bleeding during the first 3-4 months but then the periods often stop completely.
Alternatively, oral progestins can cause the hyperplasia to regress in many women, as can other types of oral contraceptives. She recommends that you talk to your gynecologist about the pros and cons of surgical and medical approaches and then decide what is right for you.

LAPEER -- A site plan for a new Rite Aid store near downtown and the site plan for a Lowe's store and the "Cross Roads at Lapeer" development at I-69 and M-24 received unanimous approval and some praise from the Lapeer Planning Commission on Thursday.
Longtime Planning Commissioner Les Daum, who recently was appointed to a new three-year term on the commission, thanked developers of the Rite Aid project for working with the city to create an attractive store and gateway to Lapeer's downtown.
"I really appreciate the cooperation between Rite Aid and the City," Daum said.
After a planning workshop, developers added windows and outdoor lighting that matches antique lamp posts in the nearby downtown to the 14,564-square-foot store site plan, said Linda Jackman, the city's director of planning and development.
A pedestrian walkway, park benches, new tree plantings and parking all met or exceeded city planning requirements, Jackman said.
Developers agreed to work with the city to find a brick color that would match closely the brick exterior of the deAngeli Library across the street.
The proposed drugstore, which will be on the site that currently houses the Lapeer School District's administration offices at M-24 and M-21, will include a two-lane drive through.
In addition to plans for the Rite Aid, store, the Cross Roads site plan for the Lowe's store and three future retail outlets on the 41-acre northeast corner of the I-69 and M-24 interchange also were approved Thursday by Lapeer planners.
Lowe's 139,410-square-foot store, the second largest store model in the chain, is the only named retailer at the site.
Jackman said the developer was working with another retailer interested in a 127,000-square-foot building north of Lowe's, but agreement with that retailer was on hold until the site plan was approved.
Under an annexation agreement with the city and Lapeer Township, township officials will weigh in on the proposed site plans at a future township meeting.
The site plan includes some changes in driveway access on Turrill Road and extensive site work needed to address elevation changes on the property.
Retaining walls will be installed to allow tiers for parking lots and building sites.
Major site work will not start until city sewer and water lines are extended to the site.
Site plans for Rite Aid, Lowe's in Lapeer get OK

The performance contract is a state-sponsored program for school districts and local government agencies that guarantees energy and cost savings through capital energy improvements with lighting, HVAC systems and more. The district would recover its capital improvement costs through energy savings within 10 years.
An audit performed earlier identified the 54-year-old high school/middle school complex as the building needing the most work within the district.
Last month the school board agreed to send a proposal to renovate and expand the high school/middle school to the state to beat an moratorium for state aid.
But Superintendent Robert Hassinger said that by entering an energy contract "this means that we would do a building expansion [in the future]. As much as we would like a new school, it looks like we won't be able to afford it," Hassinger said.

Jurors have completed their first day of deliberations in the retrial of a Boston man charged with killing four people and leaving a fifth paralyzed.
Deliberations are to resume Thursday.
Dwayne Moore is charged with killing three adults and a toddler in the city's Mattapan neighborhood in September 2010. His first trial ended in a hung jury. A second suspect was acquitted.
His defense lawyer attacked the star witness in the case, Kimani Washington, describing him as a "snake oil salesman" who himself committed the crimes. Washington has admitted participating in the robbery but says he left before the shootings.
The prosecutor said the testimony of Washington and 42 other witnesses prove Moore's guilt.
Jurors from Worcester County were picked for the trial after the defense said publicity made it hard to get an impartial Boston jury.

DOVER — A 17-year-old Dover youth is facing assault and other charges after a drug- and alcohol-fueled rampage at his Orchard Street home Sunday, police said.
The teenager, whose name was not released because he's a juvenile, was bleeding due to a prior altercation when police arrived on the scene, Gonzalez said.
While officers were trying to determine what had occurred before their arrival, the juvenile punched Corona in the face and started kicking at the officer, Gonzalez said.
The teenager was under the influence of alcoholic beverages and narcotics at the time, but it's not clear what narcotics he had taken, Gonzalez said.As the officers attempted to arrest the juvenile, he continued fighting with police and spit blood at them, Gonzalez said. At one point, the teen and the officers fell during the scuffle and Corona's hand and wrist were trapped and injured, Gonzalez said.
The teenager was placed in the rear of the police car, where he attempted to kick the windows out, Gonzalez said.
The teen was charged with assault, aggravated assault on police, throwing bodily fluids at police, criminal mischief and resisting arrest with force, Gonzalez said.
The teenager was treated at Saint Clare's Hospital and later transported to the Morris County Juvenile Detention Center, Gonzalez said.
Corona was also treated at Saint Clare's Hospital for
injuries he sustained during the incident, Gonzalez said.

TRENTON, N.J. (AP) -- Federal food inspectors are investigating the Topps Meat Company facility and its suppliers after at least 21 people in eight states may have fallen ill after eating bacteria-tainted hamburgers.
U.S. Department of Agriculture spokeswoman Amanda Eamich said inspectors are looking into what controls the Elizabeth-based company has to protect against E. coli.
"We are investigating the facility in response to the illnesses associated with the consumption of the products," Eamich said. "That also includes looking back to their suppliers."
She declined to comment further, saying the investigation was ongoing.
A Topps spokeswoman didn't immediately respond to a request for comment on Thursday.
The inquiry comes after Topps on Tuesday voluntarily recalled nearly 332,000 pounds of frozen ground beef products that may be contaminated with E. coli.
E. coli causes intestinal illness that generally clears up within a week for adults but can be deadly for the very young, the elderly and people with compromised immune systems. Symptoms can include severe stomach cramps, bloody diarrhea and, in extreme cases, kidney failure.
The recall of 21 products by the leading U.S. manufacturer of frozen hamburgers came after contaminated burgers were found in one New York victim's home freezer by health officials.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention on Wednesday said 21 people in eight states may have fallen ill after eating the hamburgers. CDC spokeswoman Lola Russell on Thursday said she had no new information.
Illnesses were reported in Connecticut, Florida, Indiana, Maine, New Jersey, New York, Ohio and Pennsylvania.
Seven people in Pennsylvania reported illnesses to the state health department, spokeswoman Stacy Kriedeman said. At least five of the seven required medical treatment, with at least two hospitalized overnight, she said.
At least six people fell ill in New York, and three were hospitalized, officials said. All are recovering.
New Jersey Health Department spokesman Tom Slater said one of New Jersey's four cases required hospitalization; two others were treated and released from emergency rooms; the other's status was uncertain.
Ohio health officials confirmed one case of E. coli, but said they don't know if the 25-year-old man from the Akron area, who got sick in July, ate beef that was recalled.
In Maine, a victim who had the tainted beef in a freezer was confirmed as being linked to ground beef, said Dr. Dora Anne Mills, director of the Maine Center for Disease Control and Prevention. The victim didn't require hospitalization.
The state is investigating four other cases that could be linked to the beef, Mills said Thursday. The cases were part of a cluster of six E. coli cases in midcoast and central Maine that prompted a health advisory on Sept. 19.
In Florida, the parents of a 15-year-old Fort Lauderdale girl sued Wal-Mart on Wednesday, alleging she got sick after eating a Topps hamburger patty tainted with E. coli that her mother bought at Wal-Mart.
Their attorney, Scott J. Schlesinger, said Samantha Safranek was hospitalized for three weeks in August and nearly died from the infection, which he said caused kidney failure, intense pain, cramping, diarrhea, fatigue, and dehydration.
A report from the Broward County Health Department shows the girl ate a Topps burger on Aug. 17 that was pink in the middle.
Wal-Mart spokeswoman Sharon Weber said the company hasn't seen the lawsuit, but pulled Topps products from its shelves on Aug. 30.
"We did that on an abundance of caution," Weber said.
The boxes recalled carry the number "Est. 9748" inside the USDA mark of inspection and were produced on June 22, July 12 or July 23, the USDA said.
The recalled products include certain 10-pound boxes of Butcher's Best 100% All Beef Patties; certain 10-pound boxes of Kohler Foods burgers; certain 10-pound boxes of Sand Castle Fine Meat; some 2-pound boxes of Topps 100% Pure Ground Beef Hamburgers; and some 3-pound boxes of Topps 100% Pure Ground Beef Hamburgers.
A full list of the recalled products is available at http://www.toppsmeat.com/.
