'The best news for Regier in a nonseason that hasn't produced much good news is the play of goalie Ryan Miller in Rochester. The young guy who experienced a meltdown after getting shelled in an early season game with the Sabres in 2003 is a different player physically and emotionally. He's the big reason the Amerks have become dominant after their slow start.'

Football talk takes timeout for hockey
Former Sabre Darryl Shannon to play in benefit hockey game
'During his four seasons with the Sabres, he was a plus-87 in the regular season. That means 87 more goals were scored for the Sabres while he was on the ice than against. "I was a consistent defenseman," he said. "I did nothing exceptionally well, except work hard at trying to be consistent playing defense, contributing a little offense and being a good penalty killer."'
Thriving on hockey's magnetism
'The 36-year-old Sitler has become one of the few people to benefit from the 135-day NHL lockout, which has created hardships for some business owners, laid-off team employees and game-night workers. Sitler, a local marketing professional and a Sabres fan, misses his NHL hockey.'
Patrick fears he's played his last NHL game
'''Some people believe we can still start the season in the middle of February and make it work. I don't see it happening,'' Patrick said.'
Ruff will take part in rules discussion
'Buffalo Sabres coach Lindy Ruff will be part of a six-coach think tank that will meet today at the NHL offices in Toronto to discuss rule changes and ideas on improving the game.'
Remaining optimism about NHL season dying
'"Nothing's coming from this side," McKee said. "The ball's in their court. Hearing Bill Daly's comments that he's trying to put something together that would be workable for both sides is where the small amount of optimism lies. Things certainly don't look good, and after Trevor's meetings they look terrible, possibly the worst that it's ever looked. But you just have to hold out hopes (the owners) put out one more offer that's worth looking at."'
Stafford heads quintet of Sabres prospects at WJC
'Whatever the case, Stafford's performance should have the Sabres hockey department feeling good about their most recent first round selection. They may even be feeling some pride in the play of two more of their WJC participants, Clarke MacArthur and Denis Ezhov. The pair turned in solid performances of their own, with MacArthur taking home a gold medal playing for Canada and Ezhov bagging silver with the Russian team.'
Was Empire's demise necessary?
'And it needs every penny it can get because of the rights deal it pays the Sabres when they play. The rights fee had been inflated when Adelphia owned the Sabres because it was used to reduce the team's losses. Now that Adelphia no longer owns the Sabres, industry experts suggest the $9 million annual deal may be three times the actual market value.'
McKee Says NHL Picture Is Bleaker Than Ever
'McKee did admit from a personal standpoint, he understands why fans believe the players should accept a cap. "If players were greedy, they would just simply take a deal now, make their money and let the guys behind them get screwed with it" the 27 year old McKee said. Mckee said it would make sense for he and many other players in his age range to just take the money and run rather than risk two years worth of salary but as a group it comes down to what they think is fair for the future players.'
Up-and-comer Boulton adjusts to waiting game
'"Everyone knew for two years the lockout was coming," said Boulton. "Knowing that gave us a chance to save money and prepare for anything else that might happen."'
Adelphia folding Empire; Sabres land on MSG
'The Buffalo News reported earlier this month that Adelphia had rejected a $17 million offer for Empire from a group led by Buffalo native Joshua Pollack. Adelphia has told Empire employees that the network would be losing $10 million a year if the Sabres were playing, because of the rights fee of about $9 million it pays to the Sabres. The cable company also contended that the Pollack-led proposal would have been "worse than the status quo" because of requirements in it, but did not elaborate on the requirements.'
Adelphia to fold Empire Sports Network
'Adelphia has negotiated a deal to sublet Sabres' broadcasts to New York City-based Madison Square Garden Network for the remaining two years of its television contract with the NHL franchise, Haywood said. The deal has the Sabres' approval.'
Plug being pulled on Empire Sports Network
'At its peak, Empire, known for its coverage of Buffalo area professional, amateur, and college sports teams, employed about 115 at its peak.'
Empire Sports Is Gone
'When the Buffalo Sabres start playing hockey again, they'll be on MSG network.'
Empire's End
'…the Empire Sports Network has ceased operations, effective immediately.'

Did you have a birth plan?
I was reading through this article on birth plans, and I completely agree with the statement, "The term Birth Plan implies that there is some control over birth and that you are able to plan for it. The reality is that you have little control over labour and birth, making it very difficult to formulate any sort of plan. Perhaps it would be better to think in terms of listing Birth Preferences or compiling a Wish List."
I like the idea of creating a birth preferences list or wish list, instead of a birth plan. I never actually composed a birth plan during my pregnancies, but I wish I had. I found that some of my wishes or preferences were not fully acknowledged once I was actually in labour. I love that the article I mentioned above includes a list of things you should include in a birth plan. If I had written one, I probably would have included information about being able to drink or eat during labour, using techniques to avoid pain medications, who could be present at the birth, and letting labour go naturally instead of encouraging it through artificial measures. Overall, I was relieved and overjoyed to have my babies after labour, but I do think it is important for women to be able to make their wishes known and to have their wishes respected during labour.
Did you have a birth plan? If you are pregnant now, are you going to create a birth plan?
29th December 2011 03:46 PM #2
I had 'birth wishes' which I wrote down and also discussed in detail with my husband (my birthing partner!) which explained that I wanted as natural a labour as possible. However, I wish I had read this article with its list of things you could include in a birth plan as (looking back) mine wasn't detailed enough. I wish I had asked for more time for us to be left alone with our new baby as soon as he was born.
30th December 2011 04:36 PM #3
I created a birth preference list for baby's two and three. I planned a homebirth - so my list included what was important to me at home (and what everyone's roles were). I also had a plan in case I needed to transfer to hospital. This outlined what was very important to me, what was negotiable and what was not. While thankfully I didn't need to transfer - it gave me some piece of mind.

I did not have a birth plan with my first one, but after reading this I think that I will need one for my second one. I have to say that I always thought that I was just going by the nurse, but there were certain things that I did not agree with when I was pregnant with my first one. I tell you the nurse kept pressuring me to take some type of pain relief medication if I was hurting. I did not take it until i was ready though, so I think there are a few things that I may need to write up. I was able to keep my baby in our room, so I am hoping that I can do that where I am now as well. Yeah I will be writing one for my second one now.

I created a birth plan with all of my children. It wasn't too fussy. I kept the fact that many things were out of my control in mind while making it, but wanted to ensure my wishes were clear.

A spokesman for 60 Minutes, Kevin Tedesco, did not address the disappearance of Davies in a statement to The Daily Beast.
Someone who had known her for years told Davies that she could at times seem like "the beating heart of the Devil."
After 60 Minutes walked away from Davies, Simon & Schuster on Friday announced they would be pulling the book from stores.
And therein lies the university's real defense for Davies' suspension.
At the end of his email to Robinson, Davies said he understood why his book was being pulled.
Francis thrust his hand through his friend's arm and wheeled him round into Davies Street.
If the weather held I might pass a not intolerable fortnight with Davies.
Our conversation at dinner turned naturally on war, and in naval warfare I found I had come upon Davies's literary hobby.
But Davies had suddenly come to himself, and with an 'I say, are you comfortable?
Davies had to go and shake hands, though at the moment he wished that he might avoid almost everybody.

Big Red Blog: Changes coming in Arizona?
Changes coming in Arizona?
Posted by Brad Wilbricht
Thursday, December 27 - 9:45 AM
The Arizona Cardinals will wrap up a dismal 2012 campaign this week, traveling to the Bay Area to take on the San Francisco 49ers. The two teams couldn't be on more different ends of the spectrum as the 49ers are currently battling for the No. 2 seed in the NFC while the Cardinals are playing for contract incentives and draft position.
Arizona has struggled against San Francisco in recent years and that trend should continue as the disparity in talent could be at an all-time high. Even though San Francisco is coming off a blowout loss at the hands of the Seattle Seahawks, this weekend's matchup is expected to be a one-sided affair, in favor of the 49ers.
There are plenty of rumors swirling in the desert and another lop-sided loss could be the nail in the coffin for several parties involved with the Cardinals. GM Rod Graves has come under fire as has coach Ken Whisenhunt. The names in jeopardy don't stop there as many expect Sunday's game to be the last for QB John Skelton, RB Beanie Wells and a handful of others in an Arizona uniform.
The Cardinals continue to be respectable on the defensive side of the ball, but nothing more than anemic on offense. With rookie QB Ryan Lindley under center last week against the Chicago Bears, Arizona mustered only 248 yards of total offense while committing three turnovers. Two of those turnovers were returned for touchdowns in incredibly easy fashion.
As for this weekend's matchup, the 49ers should turn to the ground early and often as they boast the NFL's fourth-best rushing attack averaging over 157 yards per game. The Cardinals have been an opportunistic defense all year long and have been excellent defending the pass, but they've been inauspicious against the run ranking 28th in rushing yards, allowing more than 137 yards per contest.
Arizona's win against the Detroit Lions two weeks ago was an aberration as this is still a team on a steep decline. Poor quarterback play and a severely underwhelming offensive group as a whole has plagued the Cardinals all season. Arizona has now lost 10 of its last 11 outings and will be hard pressed to keep from dropping the season finale in San Francisco.
Coming off a disappointing performance in Seattle, look for coach Jim Harbaugh to get QB Colin Kaepernick back on track and lift his confidence heading into the postseason. The 49ers have several capable running backs that should have no problem finding holes as San Francisco will run to an easy victory.
Prediction: San Francisco 34 Arizona 17

i'm doing a demonstration using ettercap (no, not airpwn) to edit html on a large scale network. the hack would need a few computers to virtualize a large scale hack.
I suppose backtrack 3 doesn't open an ssh server when it boots? how would i start an ssh server? do i need to install openssh-server or does backtrack 3 have the server?
i need to control a few computers running backtrack 3 and this would be the ideal way for my html injecting demonstration
obviously if one were to do this they would need to change pw
Also my demonstration need to inject raw html into a machine. I tried using an if statement, but it proved to be unreliable.
the coding below tried to run a script (i just want to redirect the user)
i'd rather not use an if-then statement once the traffic has been verified it's htmlCode:inject(<meta HTTP-EQUIV="REFRESH" content="0; url=website/">);
initial statementCode:replace("IMG SRC=", "img src=\"website/gif\" ");
Code:if (ip.proto == TCP && tcp.dst == 80) { if (search(DATA.data, "Accept-Encoding")) { replace("Accept-Encoding", "Accept-Rubbish"); # note: replacement string is same length as original string msg("zapped Accept-Encoding\n"); } }

'There's a part of this offer that the players probably won't like, but I love and really think is needed. There are too many loopholes in the current salary cap. The proposal would count salaries stashed in the AHL against the NHL cap. That means Shaone Morrisonn and Ales Kotalik would've counted against the Sabres cap last year, even though one was in Rochester and one was loaned to the Czech Republic.'
Is there reason for optimism for a NHL season?

The business of doing good: How to manage your non-profit's finances (Part 2)
The non-profit sector is a growing field and an important part‡ of the economy. With so many organizations for people to choose from, how does a non-profit gain continuous support from donors? How do they attract associates and maintain staff enthusiasm for the organization? One answer is something you might not expect: cards.
UMB hosted a group of almost 40 representatives from Colorado Springs non-profits to talk about a variety of financial management tips for non-profit organizations.
In my previous post I highlighted the first idea covered in this forum: stream-lined, full-service fundraising options for your supporters. Two additional ways to develop and maintain support from both groups are affinity card‡ programs for the donors and a commercial card (also known as a corporate card) program for the staff.
Affinity Card
Affinity card programs give your supporters an easy way to donate to your organization. Every time they use the affinity card to make a purchase, a certain amount of money is donated to your organization. The amount will vary based on the card provider you use.
You can even personalize the card to display your logo or another image that represents your organization.
Sometimes organizations avoid programs like this because they think it's too much hassle to maintain the program. Actually it's easier than you think. The most important thing to remember is to research the program, the bank that sponsors it, and the terms and conditions of the card.
Commercial Card
Like affinity cards, some non-profit organizations avoid using commercial cards. They're concerned it will cost them money and be more of an obstacle than a useful tool. Actually, you can use commercial cards to bring money back to your organization, not just to pay expenses. For example, if you sign up for a card with a rewards or rebate program, you could make money using your card. Or you could earn points toward other purchases for the organization.
Many cards offer a comprehensive set of payment solutions you can use to pay for everything from basic expenses to financing full-scale fundraiser events. These payment solutions often offer automated purchasing/payables for your bookkeeping, allowing you and your staff to be more efficient and focus on the work you're doing in the community.
Other features and benefits of commercial cards include:
- Spending Controls
- Convenience
- Reporting Capabilities
Creating enthusiasm from your donors and associates is easy because they're passionate about supporting your organization and its mission. Maintaining that enthusiasm is sometimes more difficult and it often involves thinking about processes from their point of view. One way to do this is to establish programs that remove obstacles and allow them to focus on supporting the organization.

HOLLYWOOD - A series of collisions involving as many as 15 vehicles injured at least six people on the rain-slick Hollywood (101) Freeway in Hollywood this morning, authorities said.
The four separate crashes were reported at 12:20 a.m. on the southbound 101 at Highland Avenue, said California Highway Patrol Officer Monica Posada, adding that major injuries were reported.
A Los Angeles Fire Department captain said she had preliminary reports from the scene that six people were taken to hospitals. Their conditions were not immediately reported.
The crashes, which involved some 15 vehicles, closed all southbound lanes of the freeway, and traffic was being diverted at Highland Avenue, Posada said.
It was unclear what role the rainy weather played in the collisions.

Discussion in 'Fan Zone' started by Hussein, Jan 12, 2013.
2 freaking years!
Who built the Oakland Raiders he took to the AFC Championship game, or the Raider team that Callahan took to the Superbowl?
Check his rosters during that six year span...then check how far under the salary cap the Bucs were.
There's more blame on the owners and Bruce Allen then some want to believe. In my opinion, Gruden had enough his last season and wanted to open the checkbook.
To the member who posted that Gruden hasn't had a great QB, you are correct. I think Garcia was the best all-around QB that Gruden had coached.
I'd love to see what he could do with Romo.
And that's why I think Gruden would jump at this job despite having to deal with Jerry. He may be a PITA, but there is never a problem getting him to spend $$$.
I don't necessarrily have alot of love for Gruden, but he is a major uprade over Redball.
A few questions that no one can answer...
1. Name one team that Jon Gruden has interviewed with this year?
2. What about baby brother Jay?
Can anybody explain why Jay is the flavor of the month and not Jon?
Despite Gruden's chummy persona on TV, he's reported to be an abrasive schmuck behind the scenes. And not the 'Tough, gets people motivated' type, the 'What an ***hat, I can't wait to leave this team' type.
He ran a better offense than Dungy. Not a difficult thing, Dungy's offense was Parcells without the innovation and risk taking.
Going after Gruden is a Snyder-esque move -- oooh, a shiny name that I recognize! It would actually be far more of an indictment of JJ than staying the course. Anyway, the signing of Kiffen pretty much nixes that deal, if those numerous reports are to be believed.
John has let it be known that he is content where he's at. Reports have said he would only come back to the right situation. Rumor has it that Dallas is the right situation. Jay would be happy with a HC position anywhere.
Will you guys put down the stat books for a second and look at what he brings vs. Garrett. He's a hard nosed intense guy that would have never let monstrosities like Chicago and Seattle happen this year.
He also made it known that he wanted to get an opportunity with the Eagles but they haven't even given him the time of day.
I wonder..
I don't care what Keyshawn has to say...
Seriously, win and no one wants to go anywhere.
Again, to quote Lab above, he took Rich Gannon to an AFC Championship and Brad Johnson to a Lombardi.
I'm sorry, I'll take that kind of bad offensive coaching any day.
Last I checked Snyder was in the playoffs with a better HC and GM than we have.
Haha okay. Check all the games he has coached, and get back to me.
That's a good point. Still don't like the way things ended in 2008. Seemed like he lost the team.
Remember when we beat Tampa with Brad Johnson as our QB?
Our defense was awful that year but somehow our defense completely shut down Grudens offense.
I forgot about the indisputable success we've had under Garrett. 0/3 in season finale elimination games. Look I'm not saying a switch to Gruden is the right move but he's a better coach
0/3? Yeah right now Gruden is better. But it is hard to tell what kind of head coach he will be after only 2 years. Give it time. IGS.
I think Gruden was probably a bit burned out himself.
Of course, if Snyder had followed your plan, he would have fired them last year.
Pro coaching career
In January 1992 when he was 28, Gruden was hired by Mike Holmgren, his former boss at the San Francisco 49ers, to be the special offensive assistant/wide receivers coach with the Green Bay Packers. After three seasons in Green Bay, Gruden became the offensive coordinator of the Philadelphia Eagles under former Packers assistant coach Ray Rhodes. Gruden then was chosen by the owner and general manager of the Oakland Raiders, Al Davis, to be the Raiders' new head coach for the 1998 season.
Oakland Raiders
Under Gruden, the Raiders posted consecutive 8–8 seasons in 1998 and 1999, and leapt out of last place in the AFC West. After uniting with journeyman quarterback Rich Gannon, Gruden led the Raiders to the top of the AFC West and made the playoffs three straight seasons (the third time under Head Coach Bill Callahan). Oakland finished 12–4 in the 2000 season, the team's most successful in a decade, and its first division title since 1990, ultimately reaching the AFC Championship, where they lost 16–3 to the eventual Super Bowl champion Baltimore Ravens. While Gruden was with the Raiders, Gruden acquired his nickname "Chucky" from Raiders defensive lineman Grady Jackson, who thought that the coach looked like the fictional character "Chucky" in the 1988 movie Child's Play.
Tampa Bay Buccaneers
After compiling a 40–28 win-loss record (including playoffs) in four seasons with the Raiders, Gruden replaced the fired Tony Dungy as head coach of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in 2002, via a high-stakes trade that included Tampa Bay's 2002 and 2003 first-round draft picks, 2002 and 2004 second-round draft picks, and $8 million in cash. The trade took place for a number of reasons, including Davis' desire for a more vertical passing attack rather than Gruden's horizontal pass attack, the fact that Gruden's contract would expire a year after the trade, and Davis' uncertainty over whether Gruden was worth as much money as his next contract was sure to pay him. Gruden signed a five-year contract with the Buccaneers worth $17.5 million.
Last I checked Shanahan is a veteran, widely respected, Superbowl winning coach who just got his QB this season.
Garret is a no name coordinator with no prior HC experience (and very little other experience) who inherited a team with a bona fide QB in his prime.
But yeah, the situations were exactly the same.

Americans Don't Like Obama's Job Performance - or Him
November has not been kind to the Obama administration. Piece after piece of the Affordable Care Act has very publicly fallen apart or failed to function as promised, and voters have punished President Obama in the polls accordingly. Between the embarrassing failure of HealthCare.gov's rollout and the broken promise of "if you like your plan, you can keep it," headline after headline has spelled bad news for the president and his team.
When pundits and politicos assess the health of a presidency, the most obvious and oft-noted metric is job approval. Do Americans approve of the job the president is doing? The question is broad; it does not specify a particular issue or attribute, assessing very generally how well voters think a president has governed. The latest CBS News/New York Times poll showed Obama at only 37 percent job approval. For context, the 57 percent who disapprove of Obama's job matches the 57 percent who disapproved of President Bush in November 2005, when his popularity was plagued by the increasingly unpopular Iraq War and the fallout after Hurricane Katrina.
Yet what has made this last month different is not that it is the first time Americans have disapproved of the job Obama has done as president. Indeed, since the summer of 2010, polls have tended to show Obama's job disapproval slightly higher than his approval. His approval numbers have sagged before, but he has been able to recover and regain Americans' confidence in his ability to govern.
But for the first time in Obama's presidency, Americans have decided that they generally do not like and do not trust our president. Rather than a gauge of a president's competence or effectiveness, questions of whether Obama is honest, or whether a voter has a favorable opinion of Obama, give a much more personal assessment—an assessment of a man rather than an office.
In the past, even as Americans questioned the competence or performance of the Obama administration, many still were willing to give Obama, the man, the benefit of the doubt. They were willing to forgive, and to hope. The polls indicate that may no longer be the case.

Google Says Its Self-Driving Cars Can Tackle City Streets Now
Googlesaid Monday that its self-driving cars are now capable of maneuvering through city streets, a more complex challenge than the highway driving the project initially focused on.
The project, launched in 2009 as one of Google's first long-term "moonshot" research initiatives, has logged about 700,000 autonomous driving miles using roughly 24 sensor-loaded Lexus RX450h vehicles. That is up from more than 300,000 miles in August 2012, the last time Google issued an update. Google said it has caused no accidents so far when its vehicles are in self-driving mode.
Google said it shifted the project's focus to city driving from highway driving about a year ago because built-up areas are where most people live and drive.
"It's really important to be able to drive on city streets if we're going to make meaningful progress toward making self-driving cars a reality," the company said.
To tackle busy, urban areas, Google upgraded the vehicles' software by adding more types of objects, such as pedestrians and cyclists, that the cars can understand and respond to. The sensors on the vehicles can now "read" street signs when they appear suddenly, such as when a crossing guard raises a STOP sign, Google said.
Google added thousands of new driving situations and how they usually unfold to its computer models, so that its vehicles can recognize them, compare what is happening in real time with what should be happening and respond appropriately. If another car is approaching a four-way stop at high speed, Google's models calculate the probability that the vehicle will stop normally, screech to a halt or blast through the intersection, the company explained.
Google said it also baked in defensive driving habits, so the cars stay out of other vehicles' blind spots and move away from big trucks and weaving motorcycles. The self-driving cars also pause for 1.5 seconds after a light turns green to avoid other drivers running a red light.
Google posted a YouTube video showing how its autonomous cars navigate common driving situations in its hometown of Mountain View, Calif.
Of course, Google also faces numerous legal and regulatory hurdles to getting self-driving cars on roads.
The company still has to tackle tougher driving situations, such as more complex intersections and construction zones. There are also particularly tricky scenarios that humans navigate with social signals, such as four-way stops, lane changes and merging, Google noted.
"We still have lots of problems to solve," Chris Urmson, director of Google's Self-Driving Car Project, wrote in the blog. "But thousands of situations on city streets that would have stumped us two years ago can now be navigated autonomously."

8 Strange Cases Of Adults Impersonating Teenagers
How's this for crazy — 24-year-old Carissa Hads of Massachusetts was arrested after posing as a 17-year-old boy in order to gain the affections of a 15-year-old girl who had no idea she was actually a girl. Dye allegedly used a "an artificial flesh-colored penis" to simulate real male genitals, and wore a back brace in order to conceal her breasts.
And she apparently treated the teen girl like her actual girlfriend, purchasing several cell phones for her, along with a Kindle Fire tablet. The girl used the cell phones to take and send nude pictures of herself to Hads, who was posing as a teenage father named "Wilson."
Hads is being charged with traveling across state lines for the purpose of coercing of enticing a minor to have sexual intercourse.
Strangely, though, Hads is hardly the only person that's impersonated a teenager. Whether in order to woo teenage lovers or to escape the realities of becoming an adult, there are several cases of both men and women who posed as high school students. I literally have nightmares about going back to high school (it's my standard anxiety dream that I'm back in high school and totally unprepared for a test and can't remember where my classroom is), so these stories are totally fascinating to me. After the jump, eight stories of adults pretending to be teens.

The 2011 Golden Globe Nominees Have Been Announced!
Check out our discussion of the nominees for the 2011 Golden Globe Awards!
-Lucia Peters
And thus begins the madness of awards season: Sofia Vergara, Gerard Butler, Rashida Jones, and Woody Harrelson announced the nominees for the 2011 Golden Globe Awards this morning. Let's take a look, shall we?
First up: Movies. The nominees for Best Picture: Drama probably won't surprise you; The Descendents, The Help, Hugo, The Ides of March, Moneyball, and the as-yet-unreleased War Horse are all keeping good company with each other. These films also largely comprise the nominees for Best Screenplay and Best Director, by the way—George Clooney is doing extremely well for himself, having won nominations for The Ides of March for both his direction and his screenplay, as well as a nod for Best Actor in The Descendants. His relationship may wig us out a little, but he's still quite the talented guy.
It was also a good year for slightly-unclassifiable films that ostensibly seem to be comedies; making up the Best Picture: Comedy or Musical category, we've got films ranging from the outrageous hilarity of Bridesmaids to the I-laughed-I-cried poignancy of 50/50, and all of them are great. Woody Allen's Midnight in Paris also got a nod, as did My Week With Marilyn. Honestly, it's difficult to say who might take this award; my money, though, is on The Artist. Haven't seen it? You should. It's a French film that takes place in Hollywood between 1927 and 1932, right when silent films were falling by the wayside and being replaced with talkies. The kicker? The Artist itself is a silent film shot in black and white. Neat-o!
Read 25 Things About Charlize Theron
Somehow Ryan Gosling managed to garner nominations for Best Actor in both Drama and Comedy or Musical; apparently The Ides of March classifies as both. Other nominees for Best Actor: Drama (besides Georgie Boy, that is) include Leonardo Dicaprio for J. Edgar, Michael Fassbender for Shame, and Brad Pitt for Moneyball, while the rest of the Best Actor: Comedy or Musical category consists of Jean Dujardin for The Artist, Brendan Gleeson (that's Mad-Eye Moody for you Harry Potter fans) for The Guard, Joseph Gordon-Levitt for 50/50, and Owen Wilson for Midnight in Paris. Tough call; I'm not sure who stands the best chance of winning. Thoughts, Bettys?
The fight for Best Actress: Drama is also going to be fierce: Glenn Close for Albert Nobbs, Viola Davis for The Help, Rooney Mara for The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo, Meryl Streep for The Iron Lady (oh, Mrs. Thatcher…), and Tilda Swinton for We Need to Talk About Kevin are all going up against one another. Cage match, anyone? I would say the same about Best Supporting Actor: Drama, but I think it might be a little unfair to pit Kenneth Branagh (My Week With Marilyn), Albert Brooks (Drive), Jonah Hill (Moneyball), Viggo Mortensen (A Dangerous Method), and Christopher Plummer (Beginners) against each other.
You know what's surprising, though? Melissa McCarthy is entirely absent from this list. The Bridesmaids leading lady, Kristen Wiig, got a nod for Best Actress: Comedy or Musical (as did Jodie Foster and Kate Winslet for Carnage, Michelle Williams for My Week With Marilyn, and Charlize Theron for Young Adult), but there was no Supporting Actress nomination for the equally-hilarious Melissa (those nods went to Berenice Bejo for The Artist, Jessica Chastain and Octavia Spencer for The Help, Janet McTeer for Albert Nobbs, and Shailene Woodley for The Descendents). Neither did she appear in the television nominations for Mike & Molly, the role which won her an Emmy earlier this year. This is weird, right? It's weird!
Check out the nominations for television shows, miniseries, and movies next!

Brevard, N.C. - The Tornados swept a doubleheader against visiting Belmont Abbey, 3-2 and 11-1 on Thursday afternoon. With the pair of wins, Brevard improves to 8-2 for the season, while the Crusaders fall to 3-13.
In the first game a two-out single by Kristina Clayton in the bottom of the fourth drove home the winning runs for Coach Britne Stubbs team, while an offensive explosion led by Clayton's 3-3 performance led the Tornados to victory in game two.
Game 1: Brevard 3, Belmont Abbey 2
Jennifer Gift (3-2) pitched the Tornados to victory in game one, surrendering two runs in the top of the first inning, before settling down to hold the Crusaders scoreless the remainder of the game. Gift struck out four batters for the day, scattering eight hits in her third victory of the season. Kayla Short took the loss for the Crusaders, giving up six hits, while striking out five.
Belmont Abbey struck in the top of the first. Gina Antonucci opened the game with a single that dropped just off the infield dirt in right field. A double by Katie Hobbs moved Antonucci to third, where she scored on Dani Beres' sacrifice fly. Short drove in the Hobbs later in the inning with a sacrifice fly to right as the Crusaders jumped out to an early 2-0 lead.
Brevard threatened in both the second and the third innings, putting two runners on in each, but were unable to push across a run as Short retired Kasey Fagan and Beth Brooker on grounders to second to end each inning.
The Tornados took the lead in the bottom of the fourth. Katie Thornburg opened the inning with a single. After Jennifer Brown went down on strikes, Katie Brown hammered a double over the left fielder's head, scoring Thornburg from first. Short loaded the bases on walks, leading way to Clayton's heroics as she drove a single to left field, scoring Katie Brown and Maddie Fletcher to give the Tornados a 3-2 lead.
Belmont Abbey had one final chance to tie the game as the Crusaders loaded the bases in the top of the sixth, but Gift was able to get Danielle Devlin to hit a grounder up the middle that Thornburg was able to stop and toss to Clayton for the force out to end the chance as the Tornados hung on for the 3-2 victory.
Game 2: Brevard 11, Belmont Abbey 1 (5)
The Tornados pushed across runs in each inning, paving the way to Liz Houser's fifth win of the season. Houser (5-0) gave up five hits in the five innings, allowing one run while striking out a season high seven in her third start at home in the 2009 season. Danielle Puckett took the loss for the Crusaders, giving up 11 runs, nine earned, in three innings work.
Houser was on early, striking out five in the first two innings as the Tornados opened the game scoring a run in each of the first two frames. Clayton scored in the first on a wild pitch after getting on base with a double over the left fielder's head, and Katie Brown scored on a wild pitch in the second as the Tornados staked Houser to a 2-0 lead.
Belmont Abbey came back with a run in the top of the third. A two-out seeing-eye single up the middle by Tara Ruebel drove home Antonucci as the Crusaders brought the game back to 2-1.
The Tornados ended any thought of a comeback though as they scored three in the bottom of the inning as Clayton again scored on a wild pitch, before the strangest play of the game transpired.
With two on and one out, Brooker hit a weak grounder in the infield and the Crusaders attempted to cut Jennifer Brown at the plate, but the junior third baseman was able to slide in just in front of the tag. Brooker, sensing an opportunity, attempted to go to second on the play, but became caught in a rundown as catcher Alysia Stewart made the throw to the centerfielder covering the bag. The Belmont Abbey infielders became so fixated on Brooker, they lost track of Thornburg, who scored from second without drawing a throw.
The Tornados finished the game with a six-run inning in the bottom of the fourth as the Brevard offense dropped three sacrifice bunts in the inning, only to see all three batters reach base on their way to batting around to give Houser an 11-1 lead.
A single by Hobbs was all the Crusaders were able to muster in the top of the fifth as Houser closed out the game.
Brevard is back in action tomorrow afternoon as they host Limestone College. The Saints, coming in with a 3-12 record at the time of this article, were a late addition to the Tornados schedule. The Tornados and Saints will take the field at 2:30 p.m. Belmont Abbey stays on the road as they take on Anderson on March 7th with game time set for 1 p.m.

The leaves of desert plants that stores water and foodstuffs may either be cylindrical, as in the genus of stonecrops known as Sedum, or else have a prismatic shape as in the ice plant (Carpobrotus). Due to their water- storing properties, these plants that live in arid regions have a very fresh appearance. Water is stored inside the stems or leaves in broad, thin-walled cells. These leaves' thick upper layer prevents water loss.
Another feature of desert plants' flawless Creation is their spherical shapes. Because since it possesses the smallest surface area, the sphere is the most efficient volume for storing water. Desert plants' thick stems, spherical shapes and pores that are closed during the day and open at night comprise a structure that reduces water loss due to evaporation.
Many plants store water in different places. For example, the Century plant stores it in its thick, fleshy leaves; the Cereus plant that opens at night in its underground bulb; and the cacti in their rounded stems. Plants such as the agave hold their grooved leaves open so as to catch the very infrequent rains that fall. In contrast, the leaves of plants such as Sarracenia minor that live in rainy areas, are like umbrellas, protecting the plants from excessive rain. Every plant has features appropriate to the conditions it lives in—a sign of Allah's flawless creation.
Cacti's prickly pears' surfaces are flat. On their surfaces, nearly all have ridges or rows with a large number of thorny spikes. These plants are able to expand and contract according to the level of water stored in their inner tissues.
Everyone must have seen a cactus. However, most cacti have thorns or spines protecting its water-filled stem from animals. Its waxy upper layer protects the plant by insulating the effect of sun on it and reducing evaporation. The shiny wax reflects the majority of the light that falls on them; some are covered with white hairs to reflect more solar rays. In addition to their beauty, the features of cacti are also great miracles created to serve a variety of ends.
There is a plan, order and purpose in every component of a cactus, from its thorns to the white hairs covering it—all important evidence that cacti cannot have come into being by chance, but were created by a superior Intelligence.
Some species of cacti, especially the Window Leaves plant, bury their entire bodies just beneath the ground, protruding only the tips of their leaves above the surface. The tips of the leaves are transparent, yet further down, the leaves contain green cells with chlorophyll. These cells, arranged in the form of long lines, capture the light entering from the leaf tips to perform the process of photosynthesis. As a result of their very special structure, the plant reduces water loss to a considerable extent and hides from the blazing sun by remaining largely underground. It has no difficulty surviving in an environment that many living things could not endure for any length of time.
In addition to their many other attributes, desert plants have been created to be exceedingly resistant to drought conditions. For example, the American pygmy-cedar tree Peucephyllum and the plant Capparis spinosa, which can absorb a little moisture at night and remain green under even the most arid conditions, are completely resistant to drought. Many bushes and trees can also withstand drought, because their resistant leaves possess a number of features. Some like the Paloverde, for example, have very small leaves. Other leaves are needle- or bouquet-shaped; thanks to their small size, a reduced surface area is exposed to the drying rays of the Sun.
The leaves of some short-lived plants have pores on only one side, usually their top. This structure prevents water loss through evaporation, particularly under conditions of intense wind. Other leaves have pores on both surfaces, which absorb moisture from the air, especially during foggy conditions.
In some plants, especially Manzanita, the leaves are supported in such a way as to remain perpendicular. The surface areas are thus less exposed to the Sun, and water loss is reduced. Paloverde, which has only vestigial leaves that appear briefly in spring, performs its photosynthesis in the smooth, bright-green branches and twigs. That is because the possession of too many leaves in a desert environment means more water evaporating.
As you have seen, plants that resist the desert climate possess a number of different precautionary measures against the heat. It is clear that plants cannot take these precautionary measures separately from one another, since plants lack the necessary consciousness, reason and information. It is Allah Who creates every plant with the most appropriate and matchless features for the environment in which it exists.

Pendle Hall is an enormous, elaborate and intricate dolls' house that Felicity Clemons built almost entirely by hand. It was donated to Museum Victoria through the Australian Government's Cultural Gifts Program in 2010 and work has begun to ready it for eventual display at Melbourne Museum.
Beginning in the 1940s, Melbourne-born Felicity was inspired to create Pendle Hall after her daughter received a small dolls' house as a gift. Ultimately, Pendle Hall reached 21 rooms of Georgian-style country splendour, complete with parquetry floors, working chandeliers, a fully-stocked larder, a resident family with servants and even a mouse beside a wheel of cheese.
The shelves in Pendle Hall's larder are well-stocked. You can see the wheel of cheese and mouse in the middle of the the first shelf. Image: Michelle BerrySource: Museum Victoria
Janet Pathe has been steadily registering the individual pieces which number over 600 items. As chief unwrapper, she's been the first to sight some of the amazing miniature items therein. " I really like the little pack of cards but some of the pieces of furniture, like cabinets, are just absolutely amazing. All the little drawers and doors open."

Pendle Hall has been on display in Felicity Clemons' private museum in Westbury, Tasmania for many years. To transport it from the Apple Isle, the dolls' house was carefully photographed while assembled, then each item wrapped, labelled and boxed by a conservator. The reference photos will be critical to reassemble and manage all the little pieces, since, as Janet explains, "so much of it is too small, like the tiny candlesticks, for us to put registration numbers on them."

While Janet registers, conservator Sarah Babister is working through the house room by room. "At the moment I'm doing a conservation assessment on all 612 components, literally looking at every piece, and trying to determine what treatment, if any, needs to be carried out," says Sarah. "To date most pieces I have examined only require basic surface cleaning, however there are some components which will need to be repaired or stabilised." In some cases she may consider replacing materials (such as a tiny foam mattress) with an inert material because she suspects the foam may be speeding up the deterioration of the bedspread on top.

A Stocking Stuffer for Mom
PedEgg turns "OW" feet into "WOW" feet!
-Stephanie Elliot
When you think of pedicures, don't you usually think of summertime, cute sandals and flip-flops, and funky, fun OPI toe polishes with the coolest names EVER? (I want that job! … What can we name this red nail polish? How about Santa's-Drunk-Again-Chasing-Mom-'Round-the-Table?)
OK, I digress! Back to our feet.
Who says we only get to take care of our feet during the summer? It's THIS TIME OF YEAR when our footsies need the most love!
I don't know about you, but I've managed only one day of holiday shopping, and my feet can't take it. They need some TLC. And although I didn't wait for Santa to bring me this nifty little gadget, there's still time to put the PedEgg on your holiday list.
The PedEgg is a simple tool for smoothing out the dry skin on the bottom of your feet and heels, and it gets rid of those rough calluses. Seriously, it's like a gentle cheese grater for your feet!
But the best part of it all is that there is no mess because the PedEgg has a neat little compartment that captures all that dead, dry skin so it's not flying everywhere.
(Confession: Before the PedEgg, I would lean over the garbage can and try to file my feet over it so not to get dead skin all over the place. My kids thought my feet were SNOWING!)
The PedEgg is the fastest, quickest, easiest way to give yourself an at-home pedicure without the mess or fuss. Your heels will feel so much smoother, you'll want to go sans socks for the rest of the season.
In fact, I've just come up with another name for a nail polish you'll need after using the PedEgg on your feet: Santa-Baby-How's-About-a-Foot-Massage Red!

COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) -- Ohio is asking a judge to deny a condemned killer's request to delay his upcoming execution over allegations that the state continues to deviate from its written execution policies.
The Office of Attorney General Mike DeWine says death row inmate Brett Hartman hasn't provided any proof he's at risk for severe pain during his Nov. 13 execution.
DeWine's office said in a court filing Wednesday that Hartman also hasn't provided evidence that any alleged changes to the state's written procedures would cause him suffering.
Hartman argued last month without giving examples that the state altered its procedures during April and September executions.
The 38-year-old Hartman was sentenced to die for the Sept. 9, 1997, slaying of 46-year-old Winda Snipes of Akron.

A Long Beach man was arrested at Los Angeles International Airport in an alleged attempt to smuggle more than four pounds of chocolate-coated methamphetamine packaged inside Snickers candy bar wrappers, federal authorities said Monday.
Rogelio Mauricio Harris, 34, was preparing to board to a flight to Japan when U.S. Customs and Border Protection officers discovered a large box of candy bars inside his checked baggage, according to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement Homeland Security Investigation officials.
But instead of a sugary treat, the 45 individually wrapped bars turned out to contain the white, powdery drug covered in chocolate and could have sold for up to $250,000 on the street in Japan, ICE officials said.
Harris was charged with possession of methamphetamine with intent to distribute, ICE officials said. If convicted, he faces 10 years to life in prison.
"This scheme involved considerable planning and preparation and it shows the lengths to which smugglers will go in an attempt to elude detection," said Claude Arnold, ICE's special agent in charge for homeland security investigations in Los Angeles.
"The fact this ruse was detected should serve as a deterrent for others who might be considering trying similar tactics to conceal dangerous contraband," Arnold said.
The alleged methamphetamine smuggling operation remained under investigation, authorities said.
Other smugglers have used Easter eggs, snack food bags and cans of refried beans in recent years to conceal drugs while traveling through LAX.

By Rich Lowry
The National Review
Barack Obama is an Ivy League-educated former University of Chicago law lecturer with intellectual pretensions and a wide streak of introversion. If he weren't president of the United States, he might be a staff writer for The New Yorker. It would hard to come up with an elitist liberal more stereotypically vulnerable to a Republican campaign lambasting him as out of touch.
Yet, in two presidential campaigns in a row, Barack Obama has easily bested his Republican opponents on the quality of being in touch with ordinary people. Somewhere, Adlai Stevenson who set the standard for eggheaded liberalism in losing presidential bids in the 1950s must wonder how Obama pulls it off.
According to the exit polls, 27 percent of people said the candidate quality that mattered most was "shares my values." Romney won 55 percent of them. Another 18 percent wanted "a strong leader." Romney won 61 percent of them. Yet another 29 percent wanted the candidate with "a vision for the future." Romney won them, too.
But the pollsters asked about one more quality: "Cares about people like me." For 21 percent of people, that was the most important quality, and Obama trounced Romney, 81 percent to 18.
Contemporary liberals will always be identified with caring, which is their calling card. But there is no reason that they should be considered the tribunes of the middle class. On Tuesday, a plurality, 44 percent, thought Obama's policies favor the middle class. A majority, 53 percent, thought Romney's policies would favor the rich.
It's not hard to imagine why this might be so. To put it in crude terms, the Republicans have an image as the party of the rich. Mitt Romney is rich. And, on top of that, his policies were easily distorted as simply favoring the rich. The Obama campaign was always going to have a broad opening to smear him as the tool of the "1 percent."
The Romney team evidently understood this, and the Republican invoked the middle class constantly. But he had no signature policies to back up the message. Romney's policy play for the middle class was almost a parody of a Wall Street Republican's idea of how to help middle-income families: He proposed to cut capital-gains and dividends taxes for people making less than $200,000 a year.
Romney ended up as an odd combination of an essentially pragmatic politician running on a cookie-cutter conservative agenda. Don't get me wrong: His agenda was far preferable to the president's. But his conservatism had no distinctive flavor and nothing to inoculate it from simplistic attacks.
A different Romney agenda could have provided more substantive reinforcement for his rhetoric: say, a tax plan that offered a generous child tax credit for families, a more explicit replacement plan for Obamacare that emphasized controlling health-care costs, and a proposal to begin addressing spiraling college tuitions.
There is a resistance on the right to a direct appeal to middle-class economic interests, out of an understandable fear of anything that smacks of class-based politics. But the middle class isn't a special-interest group; almost everyone identifies with it. A recent Pew survey found that only 7 percent of people call themselves lower class and 2 percent upper class.
In the wake of Tuesday's debacle, there will be a natural tendency for Republicans to want to try to appeal to specific demographic groups, in a direct counter to President Obama. This is likely to result in much that is foolhardy and ineffectual. Better for Republicans to think seriously about how to identify with the interests of the broad middle of the country, and to convince it that their policies will advance those interests.
This is hardly mission impossible. If Barack Obama can do it, anyone can.

iPhone 5S won't have a Pre-Order Period, because they want to sell iPhone 5C first.
I'll get 5S on Christmas, like I bought my i5 at target last year,....
This stinks, but if it's because they are constrained for higher quality control, I can wait. I'll probably make the rounds to my local stores Friday morning to see if I can get luck and grab one. If not, I guess I'll be waiting.
Quick Question. Any know the answer to this?
My wife is the primary person on our AT&T account. But I have the day off on the 20th. Can I go and upgrade both of our phones to the i5S without her being there since I am an authorized user on our account?
I would like to go and upgrade both of our phones.
Is it allowed to have an authorized user to go to the AT&T Store and pay for and upgrade or does the Primary person have to be there?
Sorry if off topic, i'm trying to create this as a separated thread/post and can't find a way. If some Mod helps me, it's appreciated.
I live in Buenos Aires, Argentina (A sad country with [email protected] policies for imports this days…) and hoped/waited for this iPhone 5c to be in the (Unlocked) price range of U$S 350 / 400. Today i find that its US$ 550. This is insane. This is not cheap. This is not "Opportunity". As supposed to be a cheaper to manufacture, this is far from it. Hope someone could build a site/blog/ad showing Apple some common sense. How's that? Simple: You got a top-of-the-line phone at U$S 650 / 700 right? Well, the cheap option must be U$S 350 / 400. Plain & simple.
Any thoughts?
First off, I was proven wrong...
I didn't think a cheap iPhone was going to be released but I was kind of wrong.
Now...since the 5C is being released, Tim was correct when he said they weren't going to make a cheap phone. Although the 5C is cheaper in price, it's not cheap, by any means. Too many people listened to the rumors and assumed it was going to be a lower quality product w/ a minimal price point.
In fact, the 5C is, in some ways, better than the ip5 (which is a great phone)!
I just read a nice Twitter comparison by @zkahn94:
iPhone 5c is the MacBook Air: a well-made device for everybody.
iPhone 5s is the MacBook Pro: a powerful device made for those that need it.
Jato & thazsar, i agree with both. And the twitter line fits good. Maybe it's just a question of being far away from the countries where Apple operates and a bit about "Damn, U$S 550 still is a lot of money! Especially when you multiply it by 6.5 (Our "Pesos" money unit).
What pre-order "doesn't mean" with Best Buy is that any phone will be arriving at your house via FedEx while you're at work on the 20th.. That's what an APPLE pre-order means. Pre-ordering with BB simply assures you of one of their stock in store on the 20th. Nothing more.

'Montreal won 3-2 and scored all three goals in the second period. The deciding goal by Andrei Markow was the worst of them all. The Sabres played that 4-on-4 like they were short-handed. They sat back and let Montreal dominate play in the Sabres' defensive zone. That was ultimately the deciding mistake in this game. If it wasn't for that, this game probably would have gone into overtime and the Sabres would have earned at least one point for their efforts. Instead, the Sabres lost again in Montreal.'

A Sandy man was charged Tuesday with multiple felonies related to allegations that he got several teenage girls drunk at his house and filmed them doing sexually explicit acts in his bedroom.
Between May and July of 2010, the 55-year-old man would allegedly throw parties at his house where he offered large amounts of alcohol to underage teenagers. In one instance cited in charging documents filed in 3rd District Court, the defendant allegedly lured a 16-year-old girl into his bedroom with another underage girl and told them to kiss each other and expose their breasts while he filmed them with his cell phone.
During the parties, the man also would make sexually suggestive comments to other teenage girls while rubbing their breasts and thighs over their clothes.
In July 2010, police served a search warrant on the man's home and found three videos of teenage girls, one of whom identified herself as a 16-year-old in a video, with their buttocks exposed.
The Salt Lake County District Attorney's Office charged the 55-year-old with three second-degree felony counts of sexual exploitation of a minor, one second-degree felony count of forcible sexual abuse, and a third-degree felony count of dealing in harmful material to a minor.

What is a news feed?
Simply put, a news feed (also known as a RSS feed) is a way for internet users to see what's new on a website without actually visiting the site. Users can collect news feeds on topics of interest in their news readers (also known as news aggregators) and determine what stories they want to read based on the title of the news article.
Before RSS, website publishers might have alerted site visitors to new content through e-mail (if site visitors had provided their addresses), but were still dependent on those visitors to re-visit the site to view the new content. With RSS, internet users can jump directly to articles of interest by clicking links in the news reader. In addition, webmasters can syndicate their site content to keep content fresh, dynamically.
How do I subscribe to the feed?
1. Using newer web browsers:
2. Using web-based news readers (personalized home pages) or software-based news readers:
Copy the address below:
and paste it into the form field where you have been prompted to add the URL of the news feed.

Packers Christmas music for a cause

You can playfully make fun of Packers' themed music if you'd like, but when Green Bay is winning (and they certainly are this year), you know a little jock rock will fire you up. And Christmas music? Well, there's a reason that every musician of every religion has recorded a Christmas album. Mash those together and send all the proceeds to the "Make A Wish Foundation." That's what you'll find on First N' Gold's new holiday CD, "The Tailgators Christmas."

Led Zeppelin being challenged over 'Stairway' credits
Listen to Led Zeppelin on iHeartRadio
Led Zeppelin is being accused of not writing their signature song, "Stairway To Heaven."
Former Spirit bassist Mark Andes says the late Randy California actually came up with the 1971 Zeppelin song's iconic opening guitar riff. Randy's guitar work provides the melody line to Spirit's 1968 instrumental "Taurus."
Andes tells Business Week he's teamed up with the trust handling Randy's royalties to hire attorney Francis Malofiy, who'll be filing a copyright infringement lawsuit against Zeppelin.
The legal action comes as the British band begins rolling out remastered editions of their catalog. The first three Zeppelin albums are due next month. The next installment is expected to include Zeppelin's fourth album, which features "Stairway."
Andes says the lawsuit will include a request for an injunction to prevent the band from releasing that album. He adds that his goal with the suit is "to make sure that Randy California is given a writing credit on 'Stairway To Heaven.'"
Rock journalist Mick Skidmore says California never had the money to sue Led Zeppelin over the song, and after his death his heirs thought the statute of limitations had expired. And this isn't the first time Zeppelin has been sued for copyright infringement. In four previous cases, which date back to the 1980s, settlements included adding the suing songwriter's name to the credits of the Zeppelin song.
