Clicks promises a billiards experience free of warped cues, and that attention to detail is evident as soon as you walk into this highly entertaining and friendly pool joint. Clicks may call itself "upscale," but that doesn't mean "snooty." The prices are reasonable — tables are $12 an hour in the evenings, and around $5 before 7 p.m. If those prices are still too rich for your blood, rack 'em up on Mondays for half-off. We find alcohol greatly improves our marksmanship, so we're especially fond of the drink specials, which include $3.75 Long Island Iced Teas on Tuesdays and $2.75 domestic brews on Sundays. Think of Clicks as the equivalent of a great, clean break — ain't no scratchin' here.
READERS' CHOICE: Slick Willie's Family Pool Hall
Commercials on local TV were never supposed to make viewers pause to ponder the profound philosophical questions of life...until Texas Mattress Makers came along. The camera lingers lovingly over mattresses in production at the company's East End factory-showroom, as a disembodied voice asks a few simple questions in a tone that implies he's talking about a lot more than a good night's sleep: "What is a mattress?" "Where does it come from?" "How does it make you feel?" Soothing and sleepy, the narrator's voice barely reaches above a whisper, the exact opposite of Mattress Mack's hyper-caffeinated, high-volume late-night pitches of yore. Brilliant.
You can almost feel the smoke of a different era still hanging in the air at the Big Easy Social and Pleasure Club. On the stage, you'll likely find a full-bodied blues band with a twanging guitar, fierce keys and throaty vocalist who, yes, sounds like he may have just smoked a pack. Not a single wall, table or tile is without chipped paint in this dark joint. Old photos and posters of Muddy Waters, B.B. King and Dr. John leave little room for white space anyway. And in the center of it all are a few middle-aged couples dancing and twirling around so impressively in front of the stage that if you're young and single you think, "Life goals," and if you're old and married you think, "Why can't I do that?" This isn't a place where you go to gab — there's simply too much to absorb.
READERS' CHOICE: The Continental Club
The lack of interior space at Satellite Bar isn't necessarily a bad thing, especially because it means you get a good, close-up look at the local and national acts taking the stage. This East End venue is the best place in town for experiencing a show right in your face, whether you like hardcore punk rock, electronic dance music or stand-up comedy. And there's a big backyard if you need to take a break for some air.
Mari Carmen Ramírez is on fire, leading the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston in relentless pursuit of the best and brightest modern and contemporary art from Central and South America. Ramírez, the Wortham Curator of Latin American Art and director of the International Center for the Arts of the Americas, has a keen eye, and the museum's "Contingent Beauty" exhibit was an edgy showstopper with themes of poverty, political oppression and violence. We saw exciting installations, like the starfish-studded Woven Water: Submarine Landscape by María Fernanda Cardoso; the minimalist Stress (in memoriam) by Yoan Capote (incorporating thousands of human teeth); and Óscar Muñoz's video projection chronicling the desaparecidos. Both cerebral and beautiful, it was the sort of exhibit that stays in your mind long after it closes.
In its first year, Satellite Bar has already built a reputation for putting on shows that don't disappoint. The dark dive hosts mostly local and Texas bands, serving up everything from funky space rock to shoe-gazing fuzz. The small stage is tucked into the corner across from the bar, which offers an extensive selection of craft beers from breweries across the country. But the real draw at Satellite is its huge backyard: There are fire pits, tables and festive lighting, and every now and then, management sets up an outdoor stage. Satellite is exactly where you want to be on one of those clear, sweater-weather nights.

I think we've spent enough high picks on offensive linemen. Lets just tag Long and be done with it. Find a playmaker for cornerback, wide receiver, tight end or something in the pass rush. We're at a point where we should be completely serious about the BPA thing.
Couldn't disagree more. Don't forget what this offense is supposed to look like. The roll outs and screens, deep play actions and other things that are missing are because we still have linemen playing out of position in terms of scheme. This is an offense that when run at full speed is designed for 500 yards of offense every week. And the WRs are not what's keeping us from this. I can stomach tagging long for now. But adding a couple of guards that can play multiple positions on the line is just what this offense needs.
As far as WRs go, we desire intelligence. You see the only thing that keeps WRs off the field for us is knowledge of the offense. I'm not advocating us ignoring the aspect of speed but it's not first priority.
Fellow Posters: I beg that you not misunderstand my level of arrogance. My handle is an implication of Dolphin study not necessarily Dolphin expertise.

FA: Although some say we have more, I'm going to guess we will have about 40 million to spend on FA this year.
Jake Long 5 yr 51.5 million.
Ryan Clady turned down a 5 yr 50 million dollar this past off-season, I think Jake, with his digressed play this season will accept this offer.
Sean Smith 4 yr 34 million
His agent David Canter tweeted he was looking for 8-9 per season, Omar Kelly said he was worth about 7.5, in an over priced market, I believe we bite the bullet and hold on to Sean.
Brian Hartline 5 yr 32.5 million
maybe we are overpaying him here, but about 6.5 million a yr for a guy who works his tail off, has become a fan favorite and has proven us all wrong time and time again I think he is worth it. He enters as a #1 in time he can fill Bess' role in the slot.
Okay no need to panic, the big spending is over.
Reggie Bush 3 yr 12 million
Reggie has been great for us, his leadership and star-power alone should warrant him a spot on the team. Some say this contract isn't enough well Sproles signed a 4 yr 14 million dollar contract, I think it is fair for both sides.
Dustin Keller 3 yr 8 million
Keller finally gives us a seam threat TE(not to mention one that has haunted us for YEARS) we've been looking for for years. Fasano has been solid and it would be sad to see him go so....
Anthony Fasano 2 yr 4.5 million
Many of you are probably rolling your eyes now. Fasano has been an important and underrated part of this team for years (the trade Ireland orchestrated for him was brilliant BTW). I am not one to throw Egnew to the wolves so quickly- Finley was extremely unproductive his rookie season so I think there is still hope for him, but Philbin was known for its surplus of TEs in GB, so the trio of Keller, Fasano, and Egnew and the H-back flex play of Clay could be scary.
Jason Jones 2 yr. 9.5
Its sad to see Starks walk away but I think he will leave for better money else where. Jones provides a DE/DT versatility, and brings some pass rush.
Louis Delmas 1 yr 3 million
Clemons is replaces by the talented Delmas. Delmas would be looking for a big payday but cannot seem to stay healthy. IF, and it is a BIG if he can stay healthy, we could have a veryyy good group of safeties.
It you simply added the #s and divided by the yrs signed you would see i spent about 41 million leaving an estimated 9 for draft picks, of course real life is much more complex and complicated this would give us an idea on what is possible. It may not be the most exciting signings, but hey.

The Canadiens will be back in action Tuesday night when former Hab Alex Kovalev and the Florida Panthers visit the Bell Centre.
The Panthers signed the 39-year-old Kovalev to a one-year contract on Friday and he scored a goal and added two assists Saturday in a season-opening 5-1 win over the Carolina Hurricanes. Kovalev's linemate, 19-year-old Jonathan Huberdeau, also had a goal and two assists. The centre on their line is Peter Mueller, the eighth overall pick at the 2006 NHL entry draft, who picked up an assist.
"You can tell he's a talented kid," Kovalev told The Associated Press about Huberdeau, the No. 3 pick at the 2001 NHL draft. "He's really patient with the puck. He can hold on to it. Pretty strong on his feet and it's really fun to play with a player of that type. You know if you give it to him, you'll get the puck back. You're not worried about helping him out. He's strong enough to make the plays. That makes the job easier."
About himself, Kovalev said: "I can still stickhandle. I can still skate. I can still make plays. Otherwise, I wouldn't be here. I'd be wasting my time and someone else's time. I know I can match anybody in this locker room. I can still play this game. That's why I'm here."
You can watch Kovalev and the Panthers in action Monday night when they visit the Ottawa Senators at 7:30 p.m. on RSE and RDS before heading to Montreal to face the Habs Tuesday in a 7:30 p.m. start.
Tickets for the 22 Canadiens' remaining home games after Tuesday went on sale Sunday and a team official told The Gazette's Brenda Branswell they were selling at a similar pace as last year.
Some games are sold out, said Donald Beauchamp, the Canadiens' senior vice- president, communications and community relations. There were still some tickets available for a number of games, Beauchamp said late Sunday afternoon. For more ticket info, click here.
The question Canadiens fans are asking is how many games will unsigned restricted free agent P.K. Subban play for the Canadiens.
Writes Jack Todd in his Monday Morning Quarterback column:
"Sunday, while his teammates were recovering from a bruising loss to Toronto, Subban was in T.O., taking in the Lakers game from the front row. The Lakers need all the help they can get — but the Canadiens need Subban more."
Todd adds: "Does it matter that Subban is still unsigned? Well, for you Tomas Kaberle fans (both of you) it was great: Kaberle wasn't all that bad. For those who hope the Canadiens will make you forget last season's 15th-place finish with a playoff push, not so much."
Read Todd's entire column by clicking here.
Tomas Plekanec took the blame for the Canadiens' season-opening 2-1 loss to the Maple Leafs Saturday night, saying the loss "is on me."
Plekanec was penalized for unsportsmanlike conduct at 7:14 of the second period when he stopped short of Ben Scrivens and treated the Toronto goaltender to a snow shower.
"I don't think it even hit him," Plekanec said. "But it wasn't a smart thing to do and I'll know better next time."

Meanwhile, the San Jose Sharks are exploring the possibility of signing former Canadien Scott Gomez, who became an unrestricted free agent last week when the final two seasons of his seven-year, $51-million contract were bought out by the Canadiens.
"We look at it that he's 33, he's won two cups," Sharks general manager Doug Wilson told the San Jose Mercury News. "A very versatile player."
Gomez travelled to Calgary with the Sharks for their season-opening 4-1 win over the Flames on Sunday, but a decision on his future with San Jose might take another few days. Read more by clicking here.

A Scottsdale mother who pleaded guilty to killing her 6-day-old baby was sentenced to four years supervised probation and a 12-month deferred jail term.
Judge Teresa Sanders handed down the sentence Monday in Maricopa County Superior Court.
Nina Koistinen, who was arrested April 25, 2013 in connection with Maya Hope Koistinen's death April 8, pleaded guilty Jan. 28 to one count of negligent homicide and agreed to be placed on supervised probation.
In a plea agreement, the court in January granted a motion by her attorney to release her into the custody of adult relatives.
She is not permitted to have contact with any children, including her own, as a condition of her release, said Maricopa County Attorney Office's spokesman Jerry Cobb.
The medical examiner ruled the cause of death to be undetermined, Cobb said.
Her husband said she suffers from severe mental illness. Brad Koistinen told CBS 5 News his wife has been in and out of mental hospitals during their 15-year marriage.
After her arrest, several former members of the Phoenix Laestadian Lutheran Church in Cave Creek came forward with serious concerns about one of its doctrines.
A former member said its strict anti-birth control doctrine might have played a role in Koistinen's mental breakdown.
The member, who wished to remain anonymous out of fear of retribution, said it boils down to brainwashing.

PHOTO: Jennifer Lawrence covers 'Madame Figaro' style issue
Jennifer Lawrence opens up about social anxiety, childhood therapy, and trying to stay un-Hollywood in a new cover interview with French magazine Madame Figaro.
The star explains that she had serious adjustment issues while growing up, before acting turned everything around.
"My nickname was 'Nitro,' as in nitroglycerin," she tells the magazine (as translated from the French).
She says, "I was hyperactive, curious about everything. When my mother [talks] about my childhood, she always told me there was like a light in me, a spark that inspired me constantly. When I entered school, the light went out."
Lawrence continues, "We never knew what it was, a kind of social anxiety. But I had friends."
Her struggle led her to therapy.
"I went to see a shrink, nothing worked," recalls the Catching Fire star.
But she was saved by what eventually became her career.
"One day, I begged my parents to take me to a casting, we went to New York and that's where I started acting," Lawrence tells the magazine. "Just on stage, my mother saw the change that was taking place in me. She saw my anxieties disappear. She found her daughter, the one who had this light and joy before school."
The actress adds, "I finally found a way [to] open the door to a universe that I understood, that was good for me and made me happy. I felt capable, whereas before I felt worthless."
Even though she's become one of the biggest stars in Hollywood, Lawrence is determined to stay grounded.
"I want my life [to be] as normal as possible," she says. "One of the dangers in [show business] is that things [move] too fast… I do not want to burn the stages of my life. I want to keep it simple."
As an example, Lawrence explains, "I do not have an assistant. [Someone] that helps me is my best friend. At the end of a day of shooting, I can go home and hang out with her… and not share time with someone who works for me."

Solutions for Chapter 1
Explain this statement in your own words and give an example. The properties of the substances around us depend on the atoms and molecules that compose them.
To understand the substances around us, first we must know how the atoms and molecules that composed them. This process is called the central goal of chemistry.
It says that how the matter behaves if the atoms or molecules are changed in the composed of matter.For example: Carbon monoxide molecules possess the correct size and shape to fit neatly into the cavities of in haemoglobin which can carry the oxygen molecules in blood. But molecules cannot occupy those cavities of as like as in the haemoglobin. If there is any change in the molecules or atoms such as the addition of oxygen atom to carbon monoxide that will result large change in properties of the substance. Therefore, the entire properties of the substance were depending on the atoms and molecules that compose them.
Consider one more example here to explain the behaviour of atoms and molecules that composed them.
Ex: Water, and hydrogen peroxide,
Here a water molecule is composed from two atoms of hydrogen and one atom of oxygen. But the hydrogen peroxide was composed by two atoms of hydrogens and two atoms of oxygen. We can see there are large differences between the chemical properties of water and hydrogen peroxide.
Water is a stable liquid and it is useful to human life for drinking and bathe in purpose. Hydrogen peroxide is an unstable liquid and burns if it has contact on the skin.
Similarly we pour water on hair just make wet on hairs but when we pour the hydrogen peroxide on our hair it can cause a chemical reaction and turns the hair into a colour.
Therefore, based on the composed of atoms and molecules the substances have behave the properties.

St. Francis falls short of state title
Published: Saturday, November 17, 2012 at 4:15 p.m.
Last Modified: Saturday, November 17, 2012 at 4:15 p.m.
KISSIMMEE — For much of the first set in Saturday's Class 3A state volleyball final, St. Francis was right where it wanted to be against Orlando The First Academy — in front.
Photo Galleries
But the Royals, winners of four straight state titles, have plenty of experience on the big stage at Silver Spurs Arena.
TFA used a 10-1 rally to not only win the first set, but take the lead and never let it go, sweeping the Wolves 25-23, 25-15, 25-16 to capture its second straight 3A title and fifth straight overall.
"We felt like we needed to win the serving and passing battle in order to compete with a team of the caliber of The First Academy," said St. Francis coach Nick Cheronis. "I give them a ton of credit. I felt our players came out about as well as we can. We executed a lot of things we were trying to do, but First Academy just had every answer. And when you get beat by a better team who is playing better than you, that sort of spells a 3-0 loss."
A block by Allison Benton gave the Wolves a 17-9 lead in the first set. But then the Royals scored 12 of the next 13 points, most coming off service from Brittany Smith, to take a 19-18 lead. St. Francis (27-5) never led again.
"I really felt that was a huge turning point," Cheronis said.
The second and third sets weren't much contests as TFA (22-7) raced out to leads and got excellent play from setter Kali Funk and hitters Kennedy Wilson and Brittany Smith whenever the Wolves tried to mount a comeback.
Benton and Paige Stockman each had eight kills and Christine Sack had seven for the Wolves. Farah Rajaee and Ann Lorrayne Bzoch had 15 assists and 14 digs, respectively.
"We have done something that no one else at St. Francis has done before," said Kathryn Herrington, one of six seniors on the St. Francis team. "All of the rest of the players have a standard that we have set now. It is their job to try to do it next year and the year after."
Fellow senior Megan Lee said it was incredible run by Wolves.
"As a senior, it has been a privilege to play with these girls," she said. "There were 85 teams in 3A and we made it to the final two. It has been amazing."

Comments for FDA General
1. Are there arguments for regulating speech about drugs more comprehensively than, for example, about dietary supplements? What must an administrative record contain to sustain such a position? In particular, could FDA sustain a position that certain promotional speech about drugs is inherently misleading, unless it complies with FDA requirements? Does anything turn on whether the speech is made to learned intermediaries or to consumers? What is the evidentiary basis of such a distinction?
Most drugs have serious side effects whereas most dietary supplements do not in that a person normally has to take huge amounts of supplements to effect their bodies while many drugs can have immediate side effects. I believe all side effects should be listed so that people can make their own choice as to whether or not to take the drugs or supplements.
2. Is FDA's current position regarding direct-to-consumer and other advertisements consistent with empirical research on the effects of those advertisements, as well as with relevant legal authority? What are the positive and negative effects, if any, of industry's promotion of prescription drugs, biologics, and/or devices? Does the current regulatory approach and its implementation by industry lead to over-prescription of drugs? Do they increase physician visits or patient compliance with medication regimes? Do they cause patient visits that lead to treatment for under-diagnosed diseases? Does FDA's current approach and its implementation by industry lead to adequate treatment for under-diagnosed diseases? Do they lead to adequate patient understanding of the potential risks associated with use of drugs? Does FDA's current approach and its implementation by industry create any impediments to the ability of doctors to give optimal medical advice or prescribe optimal treatment?
I believe that because of advertising many people are led to believe that commercial drugs are ok to take and that they ask their doctors for them more often than they would if there wasn't such intense advertising. There are always advertisments in all media forms that will conclude with ask your doctor about--- leading people to assume that doctors ok these drugs, when in reality they might not.
3. May FDA distinguish claims concerning conventional foods from those relating to dietary supplements, taking into account limits on claims that can be made about foods in the Nutrition Labeling and Education Act, 21 U.S.C. 301, 321, 337, 343, 371? What must an administrative record contain to sustain or deny claims on food labels? How can information best be presented in a succinct but non-misleading fashion? To what extent do assertions in claims need qualifications or disclaimers added to the label to avoid any misconceptions that consumers may draw? Is there a basis to believe that consumers approach claims about conventional foods and dietary supplements differently?
Conventional foods do not have the serious side effects of drugs and therefore should not be regulated as such.
4. Should disclaimers be required to be in the same (or smaller or larger) size of type and given equal prominence with claims? Is there any relevant authority or social science research on this issue?
Disclaimers should be in the same size print.
5. How can warnings be made most effective in preventing harm while minimizing the chances of consumer confusion or inattention? Is there any evidence as to which types of warnings consumers follow or disregard?
State everything in clear english without large medical words that people will not understand.
6. What arguments or social science evidence, if any, can be used to support distinguishing between claims made in advertisements and those made on labels? Does the First Amendment and the relevant social science evidence afford the Government greater latitude over labels?
As long as the claims can be backed up with unbiased studies I belive that freedom of speach should not be hindered.
7. Would permitting speech by manufacturer, distributor, and marketer about off-label uses undermine the act's requirement that new uses must be approved by the FDA? If so, how? If not, why not? What is the extent of FDA's ability to regulate speech concerning off-label uses?
If the off-label use has not been proved by independant studies then it should not be able to use the FDA approval of label uses to promote off-label uses.
8. Do FDA's speech-related regulations advance the public health concerns they are designed to address? Are there other alternative approaches that FDA could pursue to accomplish those objectives with fewer restrictions on speech?
No opinion.
9. Are there any regulations, guidance, policies, and practices FDA should change, in light of governing First Amendment authority?
No opinion.

ACT Liberals are set to elect a new opposition leader on Monday following Zed Seselja resignation to seek preselection for a Senate tilt.
The eight-member caucus will meet at 12.30pm on Monday to elect a new leader and deputy.

Mr Seselja secured the numbers for preselection by doing a deal with Mr Coe, the paper reports.
Opposition health spokesman Jeremy Hanson had also been in the running.

Hey guys,
I'm putting together a feature for a mainstream mag about MMA gyms in the UK. I'm trying to put together the top 20, and I've got a few ideas, but I thought I'd run it by this board to fill in the gaps. The criteria we're looking for are:
1. They do enough classes to qualify as an 'MMA' gym. I train at Roger Gracie's, but I can't put them in because there isn't much in the way of striking/wrestling there, and they're not very focused on training people for MMA.
2. Preferably they've turned out fighters that the more MMA-savvy readers will have heard of, or are coming up through the ranks.
3. They've got their own premises - ie it's gyms, not fight teams.
So far I'm looking at the likes of London Shootfighters, Leicester Shootfighters, UTC, the Wolfslair and Kaobon. Any other suggestions would be magic - I'll try to check them all out, but if you've got a really good reason why they're top 20, please post it.

(Cleveland)--Assistant Cuyahoga County Prosecutor Mary Weston is pleased that a serial rapist has finally been brought to justice and taken off the streets.
Charles Steele was convicted of four rapes that occurred in 1993 and 1994.
DNA testing of old rape kits submitted to the Ohio Attorney General's office by Cleveland Police led authorities to Steele for one of the rapes.
After they made that discovery, he later was connected to three other assaults.
Weston says the victims were pleased when they were contacted after almost twenty years. Three of them testified at Steele's trial.
Steele's indictment was the first after Cuyahoga County Prosecutor Timothy McGinty organized a DNA cold case task force. The panel pursues cases made possible by testing backlogged sexual assault kits, according to a news release issued by his office.

WORKING WOMEN, PILOBOLUS and More Set for The Joyce Theater's 2013 Spring/Summer Season
The Joyce Theater announced today the programming for its 2013 Spring/Summer Season featuring extraordinary international companies, including two festivals, one focusing on Nordic dance and the other on American ballet choreographers.
The season opens with an exciting week shared by Séan Curran Company and Working Women, a showcase highlighting the diverse talents of female choreographers. Ice Hot,a two-week festival devoted to Nordic dance, will feature Tero Saarinen Company, Danish Dance Theatre, and Carte Blanche, three of the hottest contemporary companies performing today. Speaking of contemporary companies, the acclaimed Hubbard Street Dance Chicago appears as well. An eclectic mix of New York-based companies — Buglisi Dance Theatre, Martha Graham Dance Company, Ballet Hispanico, and RIOULT Dance NY, all of whom have appeared often at The Joyce, is on the roster, along with audience favorites Ronald K. Brown/Evidence, DanceBrazil, Stephen Petronio Company, and Cedar Lake Contemporary Ballet.
Celebrating its 30th anniversary, Bill T. Jones/Arnie Zane Dance Company will take the Joyce stage, and Flamenco Vivo Carlota Santana, also celebrating its 30th anniversary, is on tap, too. Khmer Arts Ensemble, the renowned Cambodian troupe, will appear in a stunning production set to a mesmerizing percussive score. The season heads into summer with the return of Ballet Tech's fun-filled Kids Dance and performances by the astounding Savion Glover before Pilobolus comes back for its four-week run. Late August features Ballet v6.0, a new festival recognizing choreographers who are creating work outside the traditional large ballet company milieu.
Following is a complete roster of companies who will be appearing at The Joyce Theater during the 2013 spring and summer season.
Seán Curran COMPANY &

Seán Curran Company
Tue 7:30pm; Thu 8pm; Sat 2pm & 8pm

Acclaimed for his wit, ingenuity, and uncanny physical humor, Seán Curran began his career as a champion Irish step dancer, went on to become a leading dancer (and Bessie Award winner) with the Bill T. Jones/Arnie Zane Dance Company, and later became a STOMP! cast member. For its 15th Anniversary season, the company arrives at The Joyce with two New York City premieres. Fireweather, set to "The Mission of Virgil," a Charles Wuorinen score for two pianos inspired by Dante's Inferno, is informed both by the literary roots of the music and by visual art, ranging from the vibrant watercolors of William Blake to the grotesque engravings of Gustave Doré. The second premiere, Left Exit, examines spirituality, faith, and religion and includes recorded spoken word drawn from texts that illuminate the clash between secular reasoning and organized religion.

Rance); Carolyn Dorfman (Keystone); Monica Bill Barnes (Luster); and a special performance of Janis Brenner's Contents May Have Shifted, performed by Holly Farmer.

Celebrating its 20th Anniversary season, the company will perform Artistic Director Jacqulyn Buglisi's signature work Suspended Women, along with company favorites Caravaggio Meets Hopper and Runes of the Heart. The two programs, with live music featured on both, also include three world premieres. This is Forever is set to a rhapsody performed live by composer Steve Margoshes; Snow Falling on Water, exploring the mystery and secrets of growing up in Brooklyn, is set to a tender score by Andy Tierstein; and Butterflies and Demons is set to music by Daniel Bernard Roumain. Nacho Duato solo excerpts from Arenal are a season highlight.

Heralded by The New York Times as "a modern dance savior," Ronald K. Brown captures spirituality through a rapturous dance vocabulary that unites movement with song. This season, he and his company take the Joyce stage with two powerful programs. Program A features the world premiere of Torch, a fervent dance in celebration of the late Beth Young, along with audience favorite Incidents, danced to the music of Aretha Franklin, Wunmi, and the The Staple Singers. Also on the program--Two Year Old Gentlemen, a 2008 work performed to live music by Mamadouba Mohammed Camara.

Martha Graham DANCE COMPANY

Dance Chat: Thu, Feb 21
Tickets: $10-$59 (Joyce members: $10-$44)
Martha Graham Dance Company presents "Myth and Transformation" -- three compelling programs that explore how artists reinvent iconic stories to make searing contemporary statements. Performances include a new production of Graham's erotic masterwork, Phaedra, along with other Greek-themEd Graham classics such as Cave of the Heart and Night Journey. The centerpiece of the season will be The Show (Achilles Heels), a highly provocative interpretation of the Achilles legend created, choreographed and directed by Richard Move, and originally commissioned by the White Oak Dance Project. The work features an original score by Arto Lindsay with songs by Deborah Harry and Blondie and scenic art by Nicole Eisenman. The New York premiere of Doug Varone's Lamentation Variation, a haunting quartet set to Ravel, are also featured.
March 6 – 17
Tickets: $10-$49 (Joyce members: $10-$37)
For two weeks, Nordic contemporary dance at its best comes to The Joyce in this delightful festival focusing on Tero Saarinen Company, Danish Dance Theatre, Carte Blanche, three of the hottest companies performing anywhere today.
Tero Saarinen Company
March 6 – 9
Wed 7:30pm; Thu-Fri 8pm; Sat 2pm & 8pm
Dance Chat: Thu, Mar 7
Six years after their triumphant debut, Tero Saarinen and his company come back to The Joyce with inventive contemporary choreography, poetic movement language, and masterful use of music and visuals, all of which create a profoundly moving experience.
Saarinen himself will mark the centenary of Igor Stravinsky's Rite of Spring with his widely praised signature solo HUNT, hailed as one of the most significant reinterpretations of this timeless work. The program also includes the US premiere of Scheme of Things, an emotionally charged, technically demanding group work exploring the complexities of human relationships.
Danish Dance Theatre
March 11 – 13
Mon-Wed 7:30pm
Dance Chat: Tue, Mar 12
Ice Hot continues fabulously with Danish Dance Theatre performing Love Songs, a sensual, evening-length piece by British-born, Artistic Director Tim Rushton (MBE – Member of the order of the British Empire), who has created an intimate portrait of love in a jazzy universe.
The music, composed of cherished jazz classics from the good old days originally sung by legendary artists Ella, Louis, Billy, and Sarah, is reinterpreted by Denmark's great jazz artist Caroline Henderson. A work that is both warm and intimate, Love Songs reveals the lifelong journey to find love as the piece moves from scenes of dingy realism to kitschy night club cruising.
Carte Blanche
March 15 – 17
Fri 8pm; Sat 2pm & 8pm; Sun 2pm & 7:30pm
For Corps de Walk, co-creators Sharon Eyal and Gai Behar set their eyes on the corps de ballet who traditionally form the pale backdrop behind the prima ballerina. But in this work, beautifully executed by Carte Blanche, the Norwegian National Company of Contemporary Dance, Eyal and Behar rip off the tutus and force the dancers' heels down to earth. They pulsate in a raw, organic unit that regularly breaks into military positions set to the music of Debussy, to mechanical outbursts of the German industrial band Einstürzende Neubauten's, and to friendly passages from David Byrne's warped backyard. With ice cool stares from the alternately beautiful and grotesque apparitions, Corps de Walk creates a visual and musical journey of pounding beats.
March 19 – 24
Tue-Wed 7:30pm; Thu-Fri 8pm; Sat at 2pm & 8pm; Sun at 2pm & 7:30pm
Dance Chat: Wed, Mar 20
Tickets: $10-$49 (Joyce members: $10-$37)
For over three decades, the infectious Afro-Brazilian rhythms, pinpoint precision, and sheer power of DanceBrazil performances have astonished audiences around the world. This spring, the company returns to The Joyce with a premiere by Artistic Director Jelon Vieira and the return of Imfazwe, a powerful meditation on war, combat--and dance. As always, Capoeira, the mesmerizing martial art with an African beat, and live music drive the action on stage.
Bill T. Jones/ARNIE ZANE DANCE COMPANY
March 26 – April 7
Tue-Wed 7:30pm; Thu-Fri 8pm; Sat at 2pm & 8pm; Sun at 2pm
Dance Chat: Wed, Mar 27
Tickets: $10-$59 (Joyce members: $10-$44)
The Bill T. Jones/Arnie Zane Dance Company commemorates thirty years of creativity and impact with Play and Play: an evening of movement and music, two special programs focusing on the pleasure of musicians and dancers working together. The Orion String Quartet joins the company. Program A includes D-Man in the Waters, Jones's joyous, award-winning work not seen in New York since 2002; Continuous Replay, with a score of deconstructed Beethoven string quartets; and Spent Days Out Yonder, set to Mozart's Prussian Quartet No. 23. Program B features new works set to Schubert's string quartet Death and the Maiden and Ravel's String Quartet in F. Programs contain nudity.

Dance Chat: Wed, Apr 10

Led by acclaimed choreographer and dancer Sophiline Cheam Shapiro, whose cutting-edge classicism makes you feel as if you've crossed over to another world, Khmer Arts Ensemble will perform the New York premiere of A Bend in the River, a tale of love, heartbreak, magic, vengeance, consequence and redemption. The stunning production includes a live performance of a richly percussive score by composer Him Sophy and playful, life-sized puppets by sculptor Sopheap Pich. Khmer Arts Ensemble's appearance at The Joyce marks the opening of The Season of Cambodia Festival, a multi-disciplinary arts festival produced by Cambodian Living Arts, a Phnom Penh-based organization, in partnership with many of New York and Cambodia's leading cultural institutions.
April 16 – 28
Tue-Wed 7:30pm; Thu-Fri 8pm; Sat at 2pm & 8pm; Sun at 2pm & 7:30pm (Evening performance on Sunday, April 21 only)
Tickets: $10-$59 (Joyce members: $10-$44)
"Dancing better than ever" (Backstage), Ballet Hispanico celebrates its 25th season at The Joyce with a vibrant snapshot of contemporary Spanish dance. Program highlights include a world premiere by Cayetano Soto, one of the most dynamic and ground-breaking Spanish choreographers of his generation, and the Joyce premiere of an homage to 1980s Europop created by the cutting-edge Spanish duo Inma García and Meritxell Barberá. The Joyce premiere of Danzón by Artistic Director Eduardo Vilaro and rousing repertory gems further showcase the multidimensional company.
April 30 – May 5
Tue-Wed 7:30pm; Thu-Sat 8pm; Sun at 2pm & 7:30pm
Dance Chat: Wed, May 1
Tickets: $10-$59 (Joyce members: $10-$44)
Stephen Petronio Company presents the world premiere of LIKE LAZARUS DID, an evening-length work inspired by the mythology of resurrection.

Collaborators include composer Son Lux, performing live with members of Music; The Young People's Chorus of New York City (Francisco Núñez, Director); visual artist Janine Antoni; and lighting designer Ken Tabachnick.

I recently read that toothbrushes actually carry a lot of germs. How do I make sure that my child's toothbrush stays clean?
31st August 2014 06:38 AM #2
Good question. Dentists recommend that you change your/ your child's toothbrush every 3 months. You shouldn't use a cap that covers the bristles but let it dry in the air for the majority of the time. Rinse it with water after you use it. You can also get a sanitizer device if you are particularly concerned about this but there's limited research on them at the moment.
Happy brushing!

The week began with walking Jason and Sara, the two Guinea Hogs, up to the Oakland Zoo's Veterinary Care Center to weigh them. Three other interns and I worked to harness them and continue the training we started last week. Two of us were in charge of delivering the reinforcement; in this case it was a variety of chopped produce. The other two held the leash, harness and clicker. It was important the rate of reinforcement was not too low or the Guinea Hogs might lose interest and turn to foraging. When training any animal, especially one that is as large and strong as a Guinea Hog, it is imperative to be alert to your animal. For instance, Sara is afraid of large and loud trucks so we remained aware of our surroundings while leaving the Children's Zoo. In this week's intern class on operant conditioning, I learned that escape is a primary reinforcer and permanent associations about something can last for years.
As part of the routine animal husbandry, zoo keeper Alan works with the goats and sheep to trim their hooves. During this week, I got to give out the reinforcement, which was food, to the sheep during the training session. Although the zoo keepers oftentimes use clickers to mark the behavior, Alan whistles instead because he uses both his hands to hold the animal's leg and to hold the pair of hoof trimmers. The sheep appeared more skittish than the goats about hoof trimming. Alan had them stand on a mat during the training session, and he also worked to desensitize one of the sheep to touching its hind legs in preparation for the actual trimming part.
As I mentioned in my Week 2 blog post, the lemurs get daily enrichment, which I mark on the calendar. String 7 zoo keeper Liz organized the list of possible enrichment into categories, such as manipulative, environmental or sensory. Manipulative enrichment includes putting food into containers with holes so the lemurs have to manipulate the object to retrieve their meal. One day this week, I helped fill plastic PVC connectors with their lunch and straw. After doing a thorough scrub of the lemurs' night house in the morning, the other interns and I did a little interior designing. We rearranged the "furniture" inside the night house, which is a form of environmental enrichment.
A major part of this week included conducting observations of the lemurs. Depending on the type of observations, the time intervals range from every 30 seconds to every 2 minutes. Usually I pick an easily identifiable lemur to observe while another intern keeps track of the time. The categories on the observation sheet comprise of social behaviors, like huddling with another lemur or being groomed, and also of agnostic behaviors like marking with scent glands or chasing. The observations can be done any time of the day and inform the zoo keepers on how the lemurs interact with enrichment and with each other. The data collected can be used to make ethograms or to determine what percentage of the day a particular lemur does a certain activity.

Apply early in the cycle. Most scholarship applications are due by May 1 or earlier for the following fall semester. Note: We do not endorse any particular scholarship program but offer these as a place to begin your search.
|SALT Scholarship search
|College Board Scholarship Search
|FastWeb (Financial Aid Search Through the Web)
|New Hampshire Charitable Foundation
|Hispanic Scholarship Fund
|Dollars for Scholars
|Scholar Aid
|Wired Scholar
|Hispanic Association of Colleges & Universities
|Scholarship Resource Network Express
Many Web sites search for college-specific scholarships. For example, FastWeb combs college catalogues looking for any scholarships a school might list. When you search FastWeb, you'll receive a list of many of Saint Anselm College's endowed scholarships. It will ask students to contact the Office of Financial Aid for more information. There is no separate application for Saint Anselm College endowed scholarships with the exception of a few that students must be nominated by faculty and administration to receive. In general, these are restricted, need-based resources that we use to fund appropriate candidates.
Saint Anselm College is a collegiate matching partner in the Dollars for Scholars (Citizen's Scholarship Foundation of America) Program. We will match up to $1,000 of your Dollars for Scholars Scholarship provided you complete and send us the Matching Grant Form. The College will follow the Dollars for Scholars guidelines of eliminating unmet need, loan and work before adjusting grant aid.
Don't forget to check school and local libraries, local business and civic organizations, parishes, and parents' employers for scholarship applications. In addition, Saint Anselm College posts scholarship opportunities on the bulletin board outside the Office of Financial Aid.
Do not pay anyone who claims to be holding a scholarship for you. If you have to pay to claim it, it is probably a scam.
The Federal Trade Commission cautions that perpetrators of financial aid fraud often use these telltale lines:
- The scholarship is guaranteed or your money back
- You can't get this information anywhere else
- I just need your credit card or bank account number to hold this scholarship
- We'll do all the work
- The scholarship will cost some money
- You've been selected by a "national foundation" to receive a scholarship or "You're a finalist," in a contest you never entered

Repairing a loose seam
If you have an open seam in your vinyl floor, don't procrastinate. Foot traffic can wreck the vinyl's exposed edges, making a good-looking repair impossible. Worse, water can seep into the opening, leading to subfloor damage. Start by inspecting the seam. Press the loose edges down to make sure they'll still join to form a tight seam.
If the seam closes neatly, you can make a nearly invisible repair using "multipurpose" vinyl adhesive and a seam sealing kit. Vacuum out any grit under the vinyl—even a tiny grain of sand can create a pimple on the vinyl's surface. Curl the vinyl back as you vacuum, but be careful not to kink or crack it. If the vinyl is too stiff to bend, soften it with heat from a hair dryer. You can leave most of the old adhesive alone, but scrape away loose spots. A putty knife bent in a vise makes a good scraper. It's also a handy adhesive applicator (Photo 1).
After you spread the adhesive, rub down the seam with a block of wood. Use a wet rag to wipe away any adhesive that squeezes out of the joint. Then lay wax paper over the seam, followed by a scrap of plywood. Weigh down the plywood with stacks of books or buckets of water. Leave the weights in place for at least 10 hours. Then apply the seam sealant (Photo 2). Sealant is available in gloss and satin versions to match your floor's sheen.
If the edges are damaged or the seam won't close neatly, the best repair is a metal transition strip (Photo 3) that completely hides the seam. Transition strips are available at home centers and hardware stores in various styles, lengths and finishes.

I am new to the forum and already having problems.
I am trying to get my data from an htm file into a table in mysql.
Good side is that with the code below I get no errors. Bad side is that the table is not populated.
MySQL is not complaining, Python is not complaining so please if you can take a look at what's hapening with my code...
In addition, all the variables are valid and if i try to print them again they do return with the right values
Thank you

i'm writing an essay on the rehabilitation of the concept of the self in buddhism and i am looking for a particular sutta. I'm looking for the moment when the Buddha answers two different questioners with the same question about the existence of the self with two different answers, telling the Brahmin there is no self and the nihilist that there is self.
any help would be very welcome thanks

You must be kidding. We already told you, politely, that this video isn't enough, because you're not covering SSLStrip. You got your thread deleted and here you are reposting the same stuff. Hmm.
Here is some basic password sniffing using Ettercap.

Someone should confirm that all of g0tm1lk's tutorial works on bt4 final and move it over here
I'll maybe confirm that tonight if no one else wants to and then we could move it over? I remember it being a well made video.
Or better yet learn how it works and make your own video to submit. I had learned a lot by manually arp poisoning my network without ettercap and you should look into how sslstrip works.
I really don't recommend learning ettercap for mitm until you understand the concepts and procedures. Once you fully understand the concepts then you can take the easy route and use ettercap.
I've messed around with ettercap quite a bit and understand how it implements most** of its tools. I just thought that g0tm1lk's video was innovative and taught me some new ways to use tools like ettercap in conjunction with tools like sslstrip. I don't think there's any reason to make a new video that's similar to g0tm1lk's when his was so nicely done.
I was simply suggesting that perhaps one of the mods could move the video over for new users to get some ideas on how to use tools like ettercap. It's best to understand how things work, but its fun to see the possibilities you can create once you have mastered the basics.
We would encourage our members to make a new video if possible. Most of us (mods' admins et al) do not have the time to verify each and every video/tutorial to be compatible and then make a new thread here on it.
I have been in the process of transferring some content over but it is time consuming and I have gotten a bit behind on the matter.
If any one looks at the content on the old forums and will verify that it works and would like to see a thread here on the subject then feel free to either make one or PM me and I can post it.

Are you sure its not running? Its been a while but Im sure I have seen that exact behaviour from OpenVas when I ran it successfully. Did you do a process listing, check for listing ports or try and connect with the client to check?
I updated to R2 and can see that OpenVas has been upgraded to 3.0.1
Trouble is - I cannot ge it working now - I see that the server component is now called the ´scanner´ but when I run it is just loads the plugins and exits thus the client cannot connect and enable plugins etc - see below after clicking the scanner icon
W32.Sasser.Worm.nasl could not be added to the cache and is likely to stay invisible to the client.
All plugins loaded

I have made video guides with detailed instructions on getting up and running with open vas in BT4. I recently followed my own guides to ensure they were still relevant and things worked just fine. Maybe you guys should look at them. They are in the BT4 video section.
To be successful here you should read all of the following.

Do not read the Wiki, most your questions will not be answered there !

thanks for the link but the video is for version 2.x which like I said was working fine (I had set it up) prior to the upgrade from R1 to R2
If someone can point me in th direction on how to troubleshoot the issue Iḿ now having with version 3.0.1 then I would be grateful
It seems the user and cert are still present from version 2.x and are being used
But like I said the server component (called scanner now) just exits once all the plug-ins have loaded - that is different to what happened in version 2.x as the server component continued to execute hence why the browser interface could then connect to it
@Archangel-Amael mentioned that he had recently checked his guides and they work. I have also checked and everything works fine here, make sure you follow the exact steps from the video tutorial.

The guide video is for version 2.x so the menu items are different - anyways i have set it up and it should be working but I am asking for help as it is not working the way it should...
once again I need help in order to troubleshoot - I can see where the issue is - the server (now called scanner) loads all the plugins and then exits whereas it should load all the plugins and not exit (so the client can connect to it)

Whereas the United States Court of Claims, by interlocutory judgment of December 1, 1941, in a suit by the Menominee Tribe of Indians against the United States, Numbered 44294, brought pursuant to the provisions of the Act of September 3, 1935 (ch. 839, 49 Stat. 1085), as amended, found and held that the Menominee Indians are entitled to recover from the United States the value of timber removed from, and the present acquisition cost of, certain swamplands within the boundaries of their reservation which the United States, in violation of the provisions of the treaty of May 12, 1854 (10 Stat. 1064), failed to convey to the Menominee Indians, but reserved for further proceedings the determination of the amount of the recovery and the deduction of offsets, if any; and
Whereas said Act of September 3, 1935, provided that in the event of a judgment against the United States as aforesaid, the United States may in lieu of paying the present acquisition costs of such lands acquire and hold said lands in trust for the sole benefit and use of the Menominee Tribe of Indians, but provided no method for exercising such election: Therefore be it
Resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled, That upon petition of the attorneys for the Menominee Tribe of Indians, the Court of Claims shall, in order to give effect to its interlocutory judgment, enter judgment in favor of the said tribe for (a) $13,666.80, representing the amount of the recovery by reason of the timber removed since May 12, 1854, from the swamplands which the court has found the United States unlawfully failed to convey to the said tribe pursuant to the treaty of May 12, 1854; and (b) $1,767,616.11, representing the present acquisition cost of such lands to the said tribe of Indians; and no offsets, including gratuities, shall be allowed to the United States in determining the amount of such judgment, but any such offsets which the United States may have, including gratuities, as defined in section 3 of the Act of September 3, 1935 (ch. 839, 49 Stat. 1085), as amended, may be pleaded and allowed in any other suit now pending or hereafter to be brought by the Menominee Tribe of Indians against the United States.
Upon the entry of such judgment, which shall not bear interest, a copy or transcript thereof, certified by the clerk of the Court of Claims, and signed by the Chief Justice, or in his absence by the presiding judge of said court, shall be presented, as in other cases,
Page 232
to the Secretary of the Treasury, who shall certify the same to the Congress for appropriation.
After the entry of such judgment, the Court of Claims, without awaiting the appropriation by the Congress of money to pay the same, shall, on petition of attorneys for the Menominee Tribe of Indians, determine the amount of fees which the attorneys for the Menominee Tribe of Indians shall be entitled to receive under section 7 of the Act of September 3, 1935, as amended.
Upon the making of an appropriation by the Congress for the payment of the judgment rendered there shall be set aside from such appropriation a sum sufficient to pay the attorneys' fees, which shall, however, not be paid until after the completion of the purchase of the swamplands specified in section 1 (b), as hereinafter provided; said appropriation to be disbursed by the Secretary of the Interior as herein provided. The portion of such judgment representing the value of the timber specified in section 1 (a) less the pro rata amount thereof deductible for attorneys' fees, in the same ratio that the total amount of attorney's fees bears to the amount of the judgment, shall upon the completion of the purchase of the said swamplands be deposited in the Treasury of the United States to the credit of the Menominee Tribe of Indians as provided in the last sentence of section 7 of the Act of September 3, 1935, as amended. The balance of the appropriation shall be available for the purchase from the State of Wisconsin, but not by eminent domain, of the swamplands specified in section 1 (b). The purchase of the said swamplands shall be made by the Secretary of the Interior, who is authorized to accept on behalf of the United States a quitclaim deed or other form of conveyance to such lands satisfactory to the Attorney General of the United States. Title to such lands shall be taken in the name of the United States in trust for the Menominee Tribe of Indians. The United States shall acquire and hold such lands for the sole benefit and use of the said Indians as if they had become part of the Menominee Reservation pursuant to the treaty of May 12, 1854.
In the event that said purchase is not completed within one year after the entry of judgment by the Court of Claims, then, upon petition of the Attorney General or the attorneys for the Menominee Tribe of Indians, the Court of claims shall vacate and set aside the said judgment entered pursuant to section 1 hereof. Thereupon the court shall proceed to determine,as provided by the Act of September 3, 1935, as amended, the amount of offsets, if any, deductible from the amounts specified in sections 1 (a) and 1 (b) of this Act, and shall render final judgment pursuant to the terms of the Act of September 3, 1935, as amended. In rendering final judgment under this section, the court may redetermine the amount of the attorneys' fees. Such judgment shall be satisfied from the appropriation made pursuant to sections 2 and 4 hereof; and any balance of moneys appropriated shall thereupon be carried to the general fund of the Treasury of the United States.
All Acts or parts of Acts in conflict herewith, including the Act of September 3, 1935, are, to the extent of such conflict, modified accordingly.
Approved, May 29, 1944.

Study finds nanoparticles could contaminate marine life
Too tiny to see or touch, manmade nanoparticles are increasingly becoming a byproduct of industry and chemical and pharmaceutical technology.
But once these super small materials enter the water supply, do they reach coastal areas and enter salt marshes and tidal zones, where shellfish and finfish grow?
Researchers at the University of South Carolina's Nanocenter, working with scientists at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration in Charleston, examined whether gold nanorods could readily pass from water to the marine food web.
Their findings, published in this week's edition of Nature Nanotechnology, suggest that nanoparticles move easily into the marine food web and are absorbed in marsh grasses, trapped in biofilms and consumed by filter feeders, such as clams.
John Ferry
"This is the first study to report on the fate of gold nanoparticles in a complex ecosystem containing sediments, biofilms, grasses, microscopic organisms, filter feeders and omnivores," said environmental chemist Dr. John L. Ferry of the University of South Carolina.
The gold nanorods – rod-shaped nanomaterials that have applications for medicine and even adding color to stained glass -- were used for this study because of their ability to be traced, he said.
For the study, scientists at the Coastal Center for Environmental Health and Biomolecular Research (CCEHBR), a NOAA National Center for Coastal Ocean Science, created three estuarine mesocosms, which are experimental enclosures replicating a coastal estuarine ecosystem. NOAA scientists constructed a tidal marsh creek, containing natural, unfiltered water from Wadmalaw Island; planted Spartina grass in sediments; and added clams, mud snails and grass shrimp. The gold nanorods were synthesized by researchers at the University of South Carolina and introduced into the ecosystems. At the end of the experiment, the university team developed the techniques necessary to measure the transport of the nanoparticles and found that clams and biofilms accumulated the most.
