Could Teresa Giudice's family be reality gold for "The Real Housewives of New Jersey"? After all, if they have Teresa's fiery personality, then they could be.
We already heard reports that Bravo crews have been shooting with Teresa's sister-in-law, Melissa Gorga. According to those reports, the two women don't get along.
Teresa has since tweeted a picture of a smiling Melissa saying, "Here's a pic of Melissa & my baby nephew Joey at the party. Neither of them are black [See "nephew nonsense" here] or not speaking to me. Hmm.."
Case closed, conspiracy theorists? Apparently not.
Now, Radaronline.com reports that Bravo has approached another of Teresa's family members: Her cousin, Katherina Wakile.
"Teresa isn't happy that her family is being asked to join the cast," a source told the site. "She feels as if her entire family is being approached to be a part of the show."
Previously, reports said that Teresa was holding out on signing on for the show's third season and Bravo was calling her bluff by approaching her sister-in-law. According to the source, Teresa has still not signed her contract for Season 3 and Bravo remains tightlipped about casting news until they officially announce it themselves.
Could this be another move on Bravo's part to get Teresa to commit?

Still not narrowed down enough... What specifically are you doing when the iPad "logs off"? Are you browsing the 'Net with Safari and lose WiFi? Are you in the Mail app and stop receiving mail or can't send any? Are you tethering it to another device and keep losing the tether? Where are you - on public WiFi or at home? Can you take a screenshot of the request for address and password (we don't need the info you put in, just the initial box).

NC Wyeth's "King Arthur", conclusion
I won't comment on all the following illustrations except to say Wyeth never let the reader down. Each is a marvel of composition, draftsmanship and drama... and each offers the readers renewed interest and a glimpse of the times and mood of the story.
The next to last image was a page loved and quoted by my friend Ken Alexander. 'He rode his way with the queen unto Joyous Gard'... Poetic, and dramatized so beautifully.
By the way, all of Wyeth's horse subjects add hugely to the drama of the event. Can't think of another illustrator who came even close in that regard.
Last, the final illustration the death scene.
Just an amazing group of illustrations... so old... and yet so new to today's viewers and readers! N.C. Wyeth was a true giant in our illustrative history.

Charlie, by chance you have included one of the few paintings by Wyeth that hits an "off" note for me. It's the picture of the dwarf.
Wyeth did 4 or 5 paintings I know of where he included a very cartoonish figure that seems inconsistent with the rest of the picture, and frankly-- not very good. The man was such a genius I keep looking for a reason why the mistake is mine-- there must be something I am overlooking. He couldn't possibly have improvised a childish looking character because he had no model and was on a short deadline, could he?- Charlie Allen1:51 PM
DAVID.....Thanks for the comment. You always seem to get to the point and to strange inconsistencies. Totally agree. That figure is odd, weird, inconsistent with his other characters, and even with the odd characters he depicted in his 'Treasure Island' series. We can only wonder!

The actors on the Disney XD's Kickin' It comedy play martial arts students, but the Bobby Wasabi Academy is welcoming a real-life expert into the dojo. Teen martial artist Booboo Stewart is most recognizable as Seth Clearwater in the Twilight movie franchise, but with a martial arts Hall of Fame pass under his black belt, Stewart is kickin' on over to Monday's episode (airing at 9/8c) where he stars as Carson, one of Rudy's former superstar students. The episode, "New Jack City," follows Stewart's character, as he moves back to Seaford and sparks a rivalry with Jack (Leo Howard), who joins the opposing team when Carson steals his spot in the tournament. TV Guide Magazine got in touch with Stewart to get the scoop on his guest-starring role.
TV Guide Magazine: Tell us about your character in this episode.
Booboo Stewart: My character's name is Carson. He returns back to the dojo, and he was the cool guy back in the day. Now that he's returning, Jack kind of feels intimidated by him.
TV Guide Magazine: So does he stir things up with the gang?
Stewart: He does. Definitely. You can look out for some fight scenes. It's crazy because I end up fighting Jack, and that was really awesome because I've known Leo Howard for a while. We've both done martial arts with each other before so to be able to do a fight scene together — it's kind of cool.
TV Guide Magazine: Those fights must have been fun since you have such a strong background in martial arts. How did you get involved?
Stewart: My dad was involved in martial arts and we started young, I started when I was 3 years old, and I just love it. But I like acting more! They play off each other. Having a background in martial arts definitely helps my discipline when I'm on set because you need a lot of discipline when you're on set — especially at my age.
TV Guide Magazine: Did you have any additional martial arts training on this particular set?
Stewart: No. It was a lot of mental training though because we had to learn the fight scenes really fast. It was really fun, and no one got seriously injured!
TV Guide Magazine: Hopefully there was no fighting behind the scenes. How was your experience on set?
Stewart: The cast on set is awesome. I actually had game nights at my house so they all came over for a little reunion. We had a lot of fun filming and it should be really fun.
TV Guide Magazine: Besides Leo Howard, who else do you have scenes with?
Stewart: I interact with everybody, but I have a lot of scenes with Olivia Holt (Kim). I always see her at different places and get to talk to her once in a while, and she's just really nice and cool.
TV Guide Magazine: You've been involved with Disney for some other events — you toured with Miley Cyrus for the Camp Rock Freestyle Jam concert series. Do you see yourself playing more Disney roles in the future?
Stewart: I think the fun thing is just doing whatever you want, and that's what I want to do. I can't wait for everyone to see Kickin' It!

finished shotgun v3 final thoughts
finished shotgun v3 final thoughts
Hello All:
I am on my last two days of shotgun v3 tropical fruit. and thought I would give my thoughts.
1st I thought it was a tad expensive. but now i feel it's a great deal because I did only need 1scoop everytime so it was a full months supply.
Pumps and Energy were great. I think pumps may have been a little higher with superpump 250 but then i was using 2-3 scoops a workout.
No Stomach issues whatsoever from day one so that was great.
I can't really say I got any bigger or got great strength gains but then again i was in PCT so didn't expect it.
Focus was great and sometimes had to pull myself away from the gym due to time constraints.
ONe thing was that when i shook it it would foam up alot and i had to wait several minutes for it to foam down.
So I give this and 8/10 and would definetly buy again. Any questions feel free to ask.
I would be anxious to see what this would do no in PCT if I would get gains. - 01-20-2009, 07:05 PM
Yes I love superpump but this gives you more bang for the buck you get energy from redline and vpx and also protein and creatine and a host of others plus superpump gives you bad stomach problems till your body is used to the sodium bicarbonate

UBS Unit Fined $13 Mln, Reprimanded by French Regulator
Elena Logutenkova and Fabio Benedetti-ValentiniUBS AG's French unit was fined 10 million euros ($13.1 million) by the nation's banking regulator and reprimanded for a lack of controls that may have enabled some clients in France to dodge taxes.
The unit of Switzerland's largest bank was alerted to "grave suspicions" by the fall of 2007 on its sales force's possible involvement in illicit marketing and the covering up of tax fraud, and waited more than 18 months before setting up the necessary controls, the regulator said in a statement today.
That delay "is an especially grievous failure," France's banking regulator said in a report dated yesterday that described UBS's control lapses.
The fine is more than twice the 4 million-euro penalty the regulator demanded from Societe Generale SA in 2008 because of internal-control shortcomings related to Jerome Kerviel's multi-billion-euro trading loss. The UBS unit also failed to control its sales force's potential access to computer files shared with the parent company that could have been used to identify prospective clients for accounts outside France, the regulator said today.
"We disagree with many of the disciplinary commission's conclusions," Zurich-based UBS said in an e-mailed statement today, adding that it will consider whether to appeal the decision. "UBS does not tolerate any activities intended to help its clients circumvent their tax obligations."
UBS and its French unit are under a formal investigation by Paris prosecutors as France steps up efforts to combat tax evasion. French tax investigators last year searched UBS offices in cities including Strasbourg, Lyon and Paris. Three individuals were also put under formal investigation last year.
UBS rose 1.5 percent to 16.09 Swiss francs by 12:16 p.m. in Zurich trading, bringing the gain this year to 13 percent.
"This is an issue from the past and we are pleased to note that the disciplinary commission acknowledges in its report that UBS France SA has taken appropriate steps to strengthen its compliance framework since 2009," UBS said.

A black-and-white poodle named Mona is going home to Oklahoma after spending six weeks lost in the western Maryland mountains.
Rancher Mike Miller, of Waurika, Okla., told The Herald-Mail of Hagerstown that he found the dog near Hancock on Tuesday, six weeks after she disappeared.
Miller had contracted with an animal-transportation company to ship the dog to his mother's home in Pennsylvania. He says Mona escaped at the Sideling Hill rest stop on Interstate 68.
The big break came last weekend when a local resident spotted Mona and called the phone number Miller had posted on fliers in the area.
He said Mona is in good health but he's changed his mind about sending her away. He's keeping the dog and giving his mom another pet.

Philadelphia, PA--The Philadelphia Museum of Art has acquired and placed on view a masterpiece by one of the great printmakers of all time, Rembrandt van Rijn (1606-1669). Christ Crucified Between Two Thieves (popularly known as The Three Crosses), of which the Museum now owns a superb impression, is one the two most ambitious and celebrated prints created by the Dutch artist.
This large-scale drypoint print, with its deeply gouged and delicately incised lines, measures 15 by 17½ inches and was executed in Amsterdam between 1653-55. The work was purchased from a European print dealer and was once owned by the French painter Edgar Degas. Through July 1, 2004, this major addition to the Museum's distinguished collection of old master prints will be installed in Gallery 262, devoted to Dutch art, where it is shown with Christ Preaching, 1652, a recently-acquired Rembrandt etching accented with drypoint that conveys the power of Christ's voice over a group of Jerusalem townsfolk. On view in the adjacent Baroque gallery (258) is Rembrandt's imposing oil painting of Minerva, 1635, which is on loan from a private collection.
Rembrandt as printmaker
Many of Rembrandt's most unforgettable works, whether on paper or on canvas, were
inspired by his life-long study of the Bible. His career as a printmaker began around 1626
with small etchings of episodes from the infancy of Jesus, and culminated three decades
later in two monumental scenes from Jesus's last days, including The Three Crosses,
which captures the chaos of rushing figures and the maelstrom of darkness and piercing
light that the artist envisioned as accompanying Christ's final moments on the cross.
When Rembrandt undertook Christ Preaching and The Three Crosses in the early 1650s, he had already made more than 250 etchings that demonstrate his passion for a medium, little used at the time, which was particularly well suited to his fluent draftsmanship. Rembrandt quickly learned to add finishing touches to his etchings with engraver's tools (a burin or a drypoint) to avoid having to subject the plate to further immersion in an acid bath, as required for etching. Soon he was deliberately dragging the sharp drypoint across his plates to raise a delicate curl of copper (called 'burr') along one edge of his incision to capture extra ink and print accents of velvety black. By the time of Christ Preaching, Rembrandt was regularly employing a drypoint to add rough patches of black to his etchings, equivalent to the textured surfaces of his oil paintings.
The Three Crosses is executed solely in drypoint, a more challenging method of printmaking than etching. Not only does fragile drypoint burr rapidly wear away under repeated pressure in the printing press, but making such a large print entirely in drypoint needed considerable muscular strength, suggesting that the artist had to hold his tool with both hands to score the deepest gouges. During early stages of The Three Crosses, Rembrandt needed to reinforce gradually weakening lines three times before they gave out and were no longer effective. Rather than abandoning his most ambitious print, Rembrandt returned to The Three Crosses after a short period. For the fourth state, exhibited here, the artist began by scraping off the remains of the raised copper burr, deliberately leaving traces of the original composition, before redrawing much of composition in heavy drypoint. A flood of light pierces a new veil of hard-edged lines to fall on the dying figure of Christ, whose body and face are now rendered more human and more sorrowful with delicate modeling strokes.
"Most artists would have given up after the drypoint had worn out," notes John Ittmann, Curator of Prints at the Philadelphia Museum of Art, "but not Rembrandt. He returned to it with renewed vigor and made the drastic revisions we see in this final version, which many people regard as one of the greatest prints ever made."
Rembrandt as painter
The painting on loan to the Museum was executed some 20 years before the Museum's
impression of The Three Crosses, and it, too, reflects the remarkable play of lights and
darks for which Rembrandt is celebrated. In this work, the Roman goddess of war has
laid down her arms and is reading a book in her study, for she was also the goddess of
wisdom and the arts. Wearing a rich brocaded robe and a laurel crown, she turns in her
seat, her lips parted as if about to speak. A broad band of light catches her face, her long
golden hair, pearls, richly embroidered cape, and the hand lightly resting on the open
book. In the background we can make out her helmet, spear and lastly her shield, which
bears the image of Medusa's serpent-entwined head.
"This painting carries all the rich and dramatic contrasts of light and shade by which we know Rembrandt's style," according to Lloyd deWitt, Assistant Curator of the John G. Johnson Collection and a specialist in Dutch art. "Rembrandt's Minerva is wonderfully balanced in its portrayal of divine glory and human approachability. It is one of a number of paintings of goddesses that Rembrandt produced in the 1630s and it has all the painterly effects that exerted such profound impact on his contemporaries and later generations of artists."
The Museum's collection of the arts of 17th-century Holland is among the finest in the
United States, ranging from masterpieces of painting and printmaking to the decorative
arts, Dutch tiles and a complete period room from Het Schipje, a house from the city of

It's Kind of a Funny Story is about 15-yr-old New Yorker, Craig Gilner. Craig is highly ambitious, spending his entire middle school career studying to get into an elite high school. Once there, Craig realizes maybe he isn't so smart after all. He has to work twice as hard as his classmates just to get by. All this pressure causes Craig to suffer from depression, preventing him from sleeping or eating. On a particularly bad night after Craig stops taking his medication, he nearly kills himself, deciding to call the suicide hotline at the last moment. From there, Craig spends the next five days in a mental hospital, possibly the most influential five days of his life. He learns to eat and sleep again, he creates friendships, discovers a passion for drawing, and he finally confronts the reason as to why he is so unhappy.
I loved this book. For a book about depression, it was amazingly light-hearted. The tone was clever and humorous and very real. The cast of the novel was original and entertaining. Craig himself was a brilliant character. I don't have depression, yet could sympathize with Craig on so many levels. Craig is a teenage boy, and acts like one. He makes mistakes, but every now and then has a moment of insightful clarity.
The topic of depression and mental illness was treated carefully. These people were messed up, but never seemed inhuman. All of them were very real. While the plot wasn't suspenseful, it was gripping and had me flipping the pages without hesitation.
The only thing I found doubtful was Craig's miraculous recovery. Maybe with some that may be the case, but not many. It would have been difficult if they book ended any other way however, so I'm not too upset about it.
It's Kind of a Funny Story was a truthful and funny story about depression I won't soon forget.
Just because my headline says crying dont assume I cried because i was sad. I am a 16 yr old boy who saw so much of myself in craig n when he found his resolve i was so happy i just broke down. I found this book so influential, and such a great read i recommended this to everyone i know who is going through a hard time.
When i read the synopsis i was having second thoughts about reading it because usually books about depressed people are always way to depressing. But this book was not depressing at all it was really funny and real. The character development/traits is fantastic, you really feel like you know each of the characters in this book.Most books I read are always girl's points of view, but this is a guys point of view and i loved it more than some of the girls points of views. Just because this guy seems like he is not impossible to find. This book is one that i would read over and over again and still be sad that i finished it! If you are interested in a funny,relateable,realistic, and sort of romantic book than this is the book for you.
I am a student at Hewitt-Trussville High School in Alabama. It's Kind of a Funny Story is about this guy, Craig. Craig took a really intense test to get into an over the top school. The only problem is once he gets there, Craig realizes that all the other students are smarter than him, and the fact that he's not good enough stresses him out. As a result, he has a break down that puts him in a mental hospital. There he gets the friends that he wishes he had outside in the real world.
I read this book based on my friend recommending it to me. At first I was a bit skeptical about where it was going to go, but as I kept reading I came to realize it really is a funny story. The thing I most like about this book is that it's different. It doesn't focus on the usual topics and situations. It gives you a glimpse into something real, an actual part of the author's life. Some of the ways the main character, Craig, reacts to the situations he gets in are odd, but they make perfect sense for his character. Most of the other characters are fun to read about because they represent people you'll most likely never meet in your life. It's a chance to be Craig, meet those people and learn from them like he did.
This book is my all time favorite book. It changed my life, and after reading it I have been happier with myself. It is a feel good story, even if it doesnt seem like that in the beginning. Definaitely read this book.
This is only one of the best books of all time. I read it 3 times and no matter what just couldn't find the time to put it down.
I loved this book, i really truly did. Some of the things that Craig goes through are so entirely relatable it makes me wonder if i should've been admitted into the psych ward also. I fell in love with this book, and it's creative approach to tackling life, school, and humans. It's a great buy, completely worth it.
this book is more golden than ponyboy
Absolutely loved it. I think we all can relate to how Craig feels at times. I found myself smiling a lot when reading this book. It's a shame that the author Ned Vizzini couldn't overcome his depression. May he RIP.
Great book Ned really captures how hard it is to feel the way Craig felt but not only Craig but other teenagers out there going through the
same thing. R.I.P Ned you were an amazing author and you will be missed. I definitely recommend this book.
R.I.P Ned Vizzini, an amazing author who saved many teenagers suffering through similar things.
If you're a reader, then read this book. It takes a while to settle in and feel comfortable to read but when you get swept away in Craig's life it becomes very interesting. The whole book you're rooting for this teenage guy to do the right thing, to make the right choices, and he does. This is why its such a great book, because its real and its honest. Unlike other novels , the characters don't make stupid choices that would never happen in real life. If you want a book to read. This is it.
If you read the back of this book, or what it is about, you might think that it is depressing, but that is not how this book goes. It is an excellent representation of how some teenagers are feeling. It shows depression in a lighter mood. Ned Vizzini checked himself into a hospital for depression earlier on in his life, and he just kind of wrote this as his experience. "It's Kind of a Funny Story" is a wonderful book for teenagers and adults alike. I definitely recommend reading this. I'm in college right now, and I read this book before I had to read books for my classes; that's how good it really is!
I read this book after being interested in the movie, and then seeing all of the raving reviews about it.
After reading about 75 pages I deemed this book "alright". It has its moments, but coming from the perspective of a 15 year old boy gets old after a while. However the characters are rich and the story isn't prolonged.
Overall I would recommend this book to friends, family, and you!
It was a great book but the first couple of pages were confusing. This is a person who hates books
It kinda reminded me of One Flew Over the Cuckoo Nest only more modern and with a teenager as the main character. This book addresses the pressures that kids face as they try to fit in but in reality the main character Craig only had to be himself and he would have been just fine. As the story unfolds 15- yr- old Craig, studies nonstop to get into an prestigious high school. Once he is a student there, the pressures there are too much for him and his life starts to fall apart. These thoughts and events are typical of depression including food issues, friends, drugs, bad thoughts, sleeping, and drinking. As he realizes he has depression he ends up calling the Suicide Hotline number and ends up in a hospital -then in a mental ward. The juvy ward is being redone so he on the adult ward and he meets some interesting people who end up helping him realize that everyone has issues and you can work through them. His high school friends call and at first make fun of him but in the end, most of them realize they have issues too and accept Craig. A few of them feel they are depressed and need help too. While in the hospital, Craig finds his hidden talent and makes a decison about going back to the high school he tried so hard to attend. I don't want to spoil the ending but Craig finds out what true friends are and he has his first girlfriend. (Great read for 5th mature 5th graders up.)
i loved it! i would reccomend it for ages 13+. some iffy material...
so i thought is book was really good.it was a great change from all the vampire/fantasy novels i read. It was very relable and i liked how it was from a guys piont of view for a change
i would read this book again and tell all my friends to read it to :)
Ned Vizzini's It's Kind of a Funny Story tells the life of Craig Gilner, a depressed and troubled teen. He gets incredibly stressed and depressed after getting into this prestigious high school because he realises that he's not as smart as people made him out to be. Craig is then diagnosed with depression at age fifteen. Throughout the story, Craig mentions "Anchors", "Tentacles", and a "Shift." According to Craig, Anchors are "things that occupy my mind and make me feel good temporarily." Tentacles are "the evil tasks that invade my life." A Shift is what he's waiting for to happen to him, a shift is when he goes back to how he was before his depression came along. The main reason why I love this book is because, in a way, I feel a connection to it. This novel isn't, "Oh here's a story of this sad kid that gets over it in two days because some person came along and fixed them." This novel is roller coaster highs and bottomless pit lows and that's what makes it so great. Even if you don't have depression or have never been in Craig's position, you can still understand his point of view. You feel a connection to him even if you've never felt the way Craig is feeling. A theme in It's Kind of a Funny Story is finding out who you are. Craig starts this book as one person and by the end he's a totally different person. Throughout this book, with the help of others Craig finds himself and discovers things about himself that he wouldn't have ever discovered on his own. This book really did appeal to me in an emotional way. At some parts I found myself crying, laughing out loud, or even being angry at what was happening in the book. As typical as this may sound, you will not regret reading this book, it's kind of a funny story.
I can't say I didn't like the book. It wasn't bad. It had some funny moments in it, but overall, I guess, this book won't be perfect for you can't relate to the story. I have never faced the problems the main character has, and I believe that's why I wasn't totally into it. Yet, if you are a teenager who faces a lot of problems with school, peers and/or the first love, then I can definitely recommend you this book.
As a high school student, this was a great read. Whether you can relate to "It's Kind of a Funny Story", or not, you'll never be able to put this down. Personally, I can EASILY relate to Craig. Not only did I also take Zoloft and stop taking it, but I felt all the same things Craig was feeling, and experienced all of the same levels of therapy he did after I overdosed on Ambien due to uneven chemicals in my brain from refusing to take my Zoloft (which caused many, many negative effects, both which Craig and I both experienced.) But, like I said before, being able to relate to this book shouldn't determine if you read it or not. The depth of this novel will teach you more about the types of mental illness and what it's like to experience it than any health class ever will. A lot of people will still ask the question, "but is this actually a funny book with a topic as serious as this is?" And the answer to that, is yes. As sad as this book sounds, there are many parts that will have you laughing out loud. Ned Vizzini does an absolutely outstanding job at expressing what it truly feels like to be depressed, what hospitalization after a suicide attempt is like, and most importantly, how much better life will get if you get the help you need and work to do what makes you happy.
Wow, this is such a great book! My friends wanted to go see the film, so of course I had to read the book first. The book is about Craig, a 15-year-old overachiever from a good family, who is extremely stressed out and feels under so much pressure that he thinks about committing suicide. Luckily, he decides this isn't normal and calls a hotline, which lands him straight in a mental hospital, where he meets an interesting group of people.
I'm not sure about you, but I wasn't convinced by the originality of the story. It's nothing I hadn't encountered before. Boy, was I wrong. This book is phenomenal. Maybe it's because the author actually had experience with being in such a hospital himself, because the descriptions and feelings are written so well, so raw, so believable and so, so beautiful. I felt like I could really connect to Craig and the book really helped me to understand depression better. However, the book itself was far from depressing, there was so much humor in there!
Experiencing Craig's road to self-discovery, seeing his brain-maps in your mind, and relating to the pressures he feels in life is a beautiful experience. I honestly believe everyone will recognize a part of him/herself in Craig and will be helped a teeny tiny bit by reading this book. We're all under pressure, we're all a bit crazy, but we can all find our voice and overcome our fears.

Browns rookie Travis Benjamin has been named the AFC Special Teams Player of the Week.
Benjamin, a fourth-round pick in this year's draft, returned a punt 93 yards for a touchdown Sunday in the second quarter of the Browns' 30-7 victory over the Kansas City Chiefs.
"That's a tremendous honor," coach Pat Shurmur said. "I'm sure he's happy to receive that as well as be a part of a winning effort."
It was the longest punt return in franchise history, surpassing the previous record of 92 yards set by Eric Metcalf in 1994. It also was the first time a Browns rookie returned a punt for a touchdown since Ben Davis in 1967.
Benjamin is the first Browns rookie to earn the award since Andre Davis in Week 8 of the 2002 season and the first Browns player to receive the honor since Josh Cribbs in Week 2 of the 2011 season.
RG3 watch
Shurmur said the Browns (5-8) can't get caught up in wondering who will play quarterback for the Washington Redskins (7-6) when they visit Cleveland Browns Stadium on Sunday.
Rookie quarterback Robert Griffin III tested his mildly sprained right knee in practice today, according to several reports. If Griffin doesn't play Sunday, fellow rookie Kirk Cousins will start at quarterback for the Redskins.
"Whoever plays quarterback will not affect our preparation as we move forward," Shurmur said. "We have to prepare for their offense, and it's extremely important that we not try to look at what things are being said, who's going to play. They've got two really fine quarterbacks. They're different in style in some ways. But their offense is very effective. They have elements of the drop-back passing game. They have elements of option football, and, of course, their running game resembles in a lot of ways the off-tackle zone stuff that [coach Mike Shanahan] has always been known for."
Shurmur said backup quarterback Colt McCoy will play the role of the Redskins' quarterbacks this week in practice. Shurmur said no consideration was given to Cribbs to play the role of Griffin.
"I'm not sure we have that kind of a speed on our team to simulate a player as talented as RG3 in terms of his flat speed," Shurmur said. "I think it's what you go through anytime you prepare for a tremendous player like RG3."
Extra points
All the players on the Browns' 53-man roster practiced today. ... Cribbs will serve as the Browns' fourth captain Sunday, Shurmur said. "I really appreciate Josh for his toughness, and in a sport like football, a guy that's tough, that's the highest honor," Shurmur said. … The Browns elevated tight end/fullback Brad Smelley to their active roster Monday because they like the work he has done this season on their practice squad, Shurmur said. The other tight ends on the 53-man roster are healthy, Shurmur said.

St. Paul Saints vs. a water tower in Corcoran, Minn.?
- 10 July, 2012 //
- City Hall Scoop //
- Tags : Department of Employment and Economic Development, Kasson, Saints ballpark, Southwest LRT, TCAAP
Is roadwork economic development? Are nursing facilities, or water towers? How about a giant spoon with a cherry on top?
The Minnesota Department of Employment and Economic Development (DEED) has $47.5 million to spend on economic development projects, and the list of grant applicants is now public. There are 90 applicants — many of them small cities — and the items they're asking funding for run a wide range, from sports facilities and industrial parks to the Minneapolis Sculpture Garden and a host of sewer and roadwork projects. (There's a water tower in Corcoran, Minn. that needs $1.1 million, for, ahem, economic development.)
St. Paul, of course, wants more than half the money — $27 million — for a new regional ballpark in Lowertown. The Metropolitan Council wants $14 million for the Southwest Light Rail Transit line. The city of Mankato wants $14.5 million to renovate and expand its civic center. Ramsey County wants $5.9 million to acquire and clean up the Twin Cities Army Ammunition Plant in Arden Hills. Rochester is looking for $25 million for the Mayo Civic Center.
The full list is online here: http://www.positivelyminnesota.com/About_Us/Competitive_Contract_Opportunities/Capital_Projects_Grant_Program.aspx
In a conference call with reporters, DEED Commissioner Mark Phillips on Tuesday said eight of the 90 proposed projects were included in Gov. Mark Dayton's original bonding request to the Legislature, but didn't make the cut with lawmakers, who basically punted some of the tough decisions on how to spend public infrastructure money back to DEED and the governor's office.
His department is accustomed to doling out funds for sewer and water lines, or transportation projects, but this sort of economic development free-for-all is brand new and, he said, not exactly his cup of tea. Many of the applications DEED received were for run-of-the-mill road projects, storm sewer projects and even a water tower, and he questions whether those are even large enough to comply with the grant requirements, which called for projects over $1 million.
"I don't think this has ever been done before, where the Legislature gave up their ability to decide the bonds," Phillips said. "And frankly, the governor and I weren't that keen on this. … We don't think this is our role. This has been the Legislature's role since 1858, I think. It seems odd that they're going to give a small amount of the money, a relatively small amount, to DEED. … It's just not usually government buildings and city-owned projects. It's a little different twist on it."
There are about 10 or 11 economic development criteria that the Legislature included when it charged DEED with creating the $47.5 million grant fund, and regional significance is one of them. From his perspective, that gives the Saints ballpark a pretty good score.
"I'm assuming that the Saints ballpark would score pretty high, just because of the regional nature," Phillips said. "It's certainly likely to score pretty well."
But community support is another criterion, and by that measure, the biggest community letter-writing effort has been on behalf of a hockey rink in North Minneapolis, he said with a bit of a chuckle. Ultimately, Phillips and his staff will make a recommendation, and the governor will do as the governor sees fit.
Here's some other applicants: Minneapolis is looking for $25 million to redesign Nicollet Mall. The Minneapolis Parks and Rec. Board wants $750,000 for the city's sculpture garden. A Minneapolis school district wants $2.78 million to update athletic facilities.
The city of Maplewood would like $1.28 million for a public safety training center for the east metro, while the city of Maple Plain would appreciate $930,000 for streets, sewer and water line improvements. Marshall, Minn. is asking for $4 million for a regional amateur sports center.
On Mille Lacs Lake about two hours north of the Twin Cities, the resort community of Isle, Minn. wants $500,000 to replace the Malone Island Bridge and sewers. Over in Dodge County, west of Rochester, the small city of Kasson, Minn. (population: 5,900) wants $2.37 million for an industrial park, and another $1.1 million for wastewater treatment improvements.
West St. Paul wants $3.45 million for a sports dome, Dakota County wants $3 million for a trail and visitor's centers, and Woodbury wants $1.5 million to expand its sports center.

Bin, Hunsucker and Jones Near Milestones Nov. 9, 2010 RUSTON, La. - A trio of volleyball student-athletes are quickly etching their names within the Louisiana Tech and Western Athletic Conference record books as the conclusion of the 2010 season is just weeks away. As a setter from São Paolo, Brazil, Bianca Bin is just four assists shy of totaling 2,500 for her career. Entering the week Bin is averaging 8.50 assist per set ranking amongst the conference leaders while recording 30-plus assists on eight occasions and 40-plus assists twice. With 32 more assists Bin will tie Kelly Jefferson for fifth all-time on the Tech career list. Kara Jones, a senior middle blocker from Moody, Texas is no stranger to seeing her name within record books. With 18 kills and 10 blocks this past weekend, Jones became only the seventh active WAC student-athlete with 1,000-plus career points. Earlier this season Jones moved past Laura Ebert (321) and Tanya Jarvis (328) for third all-time on the Louisiana Tech career blocks list. With 358 career blocks, Jones needs just 25 more blocks to catch K.C. Clayton for second all-time. Currently ranked 33rd in the country averaging 5.10 digs per set, senior Lori Hunsucker is perhaps one of the most underrated liberos in the country. Covering nearly two-thirds of the floor and anchoring the Tech defense, Hunsucker has already established the Louisiana Tech single-season digs record with 495. The Katy, Texas native passed Meghan Haas (487) who previously set the record in 2005 while averaging 3.87 digs per set. Hunsucker needs just 58 more digs to total 1,000 in her career. She would become only the sixth active WAC student-athlete to accomplish that feat and the only student-athlete to do so in two seasons. Furthermore, if Hunsucker maintains her current pace she will shatter two other school records: digs per set in a season as well as the mark for digs per set in a career. Heather Anderson currently owns the single-season mark at 4.93 digs per set established in 2004. Haas owns the career mark with 3.87 per set. The Louisiana Tech volleyball team returns to action this weekend with a pair of road matches at Boise State and Idaho. The Lady Techsters return home next week and host Utah State Monday night before concluding the 2010 season with senior night on Nov. 18 against Nevada at 7 p.m. inside the Thomas Assembly Center. For complete coverage of Lady Techster volleyball, please visit the official home of Louisiana Tech Athletics at LATechSports.com and follow sports information contact, Austin Staton, on twitter for the latest and most current news.

Non-orgasmic? You're thinking, "She's crazy." Which may be true, but regardless of that, this article suggested that ejaculation is not as closely linked to orgasm as most think.
It cites a study done by Dr. Paul Pearsall at Sinai Hospital in Detroit, in which 88% of 1100 men reported that they had never had an orgasm during intercourse. Admittedly, the first thing I thought was, "Who are these men?" However, I have heard of orgasm without ejaculation - so it is possible that it could work the other way around. The article states that "...men think that if they have an ejaculation, they will feel a great sense of sexual satisfaction. But most men do not feel sexually satisfied because they focus on ejaculation rather than orgasm." Fascinating! It listed some of the "symptoms" of the non-orgasmic man:
I know you're all getting ready to reply to this saying "You stupid chick. You don't know what you're talking about! How would you know anyway!" But the idea is a possibility. If you have any well thought out comments on this concept, I would be interested to hear them. I wanted to node this but don't really want to get into an argument - these are not my original ideas, after all, and therefore not my battle to fight.
first an aside, (moving into the everything editor after using vi for a few hours is really confusing);)
for me ejaculation is just cumming, although correlated with orgasm, they are separate entities.
feelings after ejaculation are relief, satisfaction, it's a bit like blowing your nose. sometimes it happens quickly, sometimes there is a long build up and the relief is greater.
The relief is physical, it comes from the loins.
orgasm is a mental phenomenon. It has happened to me too too infrequently. It shakes you to the very core of your being, it feels like the top of your head is being unscrewed and light is being poured in. There is no room for thought as all of the fireworks going off in your head are getting in the way, it is trembling in your lovers arms not in control what you say, a babble of words flowing, i love you i love you hold me hold me .., you can't breath you're breathing too quickly and after, after somebody has tipped you up and shaken the insides of you out and around the floor and you are lying naked mentally and physically all you can do is lie there holding, being held, and sure you might have ejaculated, but who noticed?
i think anticipation, affection, trust are all required. medically its akin to a minor bout of epilepsy. you have to be able to trust the person that you are with as you are going to be revealing yourself so deeply to them. A girl i knew one brought me to orgasm by just trailing her hair across my back, back and forth, and kisses here and there.
Of course this is just my experience. I guess for everyone its different (otherwise why are there no "hair trailing across back" mags on the news stands?)

SkyGeek is sleek because we know grease fittings. Also known as grease nipples or Zerk fittings, grease fittings are simple in function: they are specifically designed to fit with a grease gun and are thus used when lubrication application is required.
Understanding grease fittings is often a matter of identifying four features: its angle, its material, its finish, its style. Besides a straight design, grease fittings come in a variety of angled configurations: 30-degree, 45-degree, and 90-degree to name a few. They are usually made of metal such as brass and (stainless) steel and contain finishes including nickel and zinc (yellow and dichromate). Additionally, grease fittings come in a variety of styles including but not limited to: ball check, (extra) long, pin type, and self-tapping.
Grease fittings come in a variety of sizes as well. With so much variety, standardization was necessary. That's why many conform to U.S. military specifications. Whether it's Military Standard (MS) or National Aerospace Standard (NAS), SkyGeek has those that fit your needs. Click on the corresponding grease fittings for more details.

helen mirren biog.
British Dvd War Films
I would hazard a guess that the Oscar was reward (ample, in my opinion) for a career that up to then had been solid but hardly spectacular. But I could name many actresses who have moved me more than Mirren.
Another thing that irritates me is why do the rich and famous really need yet more from society in terms of titles? Isn't the money and the mansions enough? When Mirren accepted the DBE (Dame of the British Empire) in 2003 she was joining a group of thespians that is really overpopulated. It goes without saying that there are millions of people more deserving of these titles (the selfless nurse who nursed your mother; the soldier who would exchange his life for his country): putting a bit of make-up on and saying a few lines shouldn't mean automatic inclusion to the land of titles no matter what charitable work is involved. I mean Sir Donald Sinden, really! Good actor but come on, a knighthood?
Why did Mirren accept it? I would have thought that an actress needs to keep her identity anonymous so that she can absorb herself completely into a role. A title gets in the way of that because it is a Dame playing the part of, I don't know, the ageing stripper or the working class mother.
There is no denying that Mirren has made the most out of what she's got. The question is: does what's she got deserve so much?
She was born Ilyena Lydia Mironoff on 26 July 1945 in Chiswick, London. Her father fled Russia after the 1917 revolution and fought Oswald Mosley's fascists in the streets of London. He became a violinist with the London Philharmonic Orchestra, but according to
the BBC's profile of Dame Helen Mirren, "had to revert to driving a taxi to make ends meet".
Her film debut was in Herostratus in 1967 which was followed in 1969
with roles in Sir Peter Hall's A Midsummer Night's Dream, and
Michael Powell's Age of Consent. Other films
The Long Good Friday (1979), Cal (1984), The Cook The Thief His Wife and Her Lover (1989),
The Madness of King George (1994) and Gosford Park (2001). For her roles in these last two films, she received Oscar
nominations. She also received an Emmy for the title role in The Passion of Ayn Rand (1999).
is well known for her television role as Detective Superintendent Jane Tennison
in the occasional TV police drama Prime
Suspect, which won BAFTA television awards in 1991 and 1993 for best drama serial. In 2005 she was cast
as Elizabeth I in Channel 4's drama and in 2006 she won an Emmy for best actress in a mini-series/TV movie for the role. She had already played a different aged Elizabeth in the eponymous 1998 film.
In 2006, Mirren played Queen Elizabeth II in Stephen Frear The Queen. Her performance as The Queen
went down well with critics and she was nominated for the Golden Globes and
the Baftas. The Dame also won the best actress award for The Queen at the 12th annual US Critics' Choice Awards.
She also won the best actress in a mini-series or film made for TV at the 2007 Golden Globe for her role as
Elizabeth I and for best actress for her role as Elizabeth II in The Queen, for which she also won an
Oscar and won a BAFTA.
After she was named Best Actress at the Academy Awards 2007 for her performance in The Queen,
it was revealed that The Queen had invited her, Stephen Frears and Peter Morgan to Buckingham Palace.
In 2007, she also won the Royal Television Society Award for best female actor, this time for her role in Prime Suspect. Later in 2007, Mirren took the Emmy for best drama actress in a mini-series for the same role.

It's a morbid thought, to be sure, but it's also a powerful impetus to take control of your life and reign in the disorder and clutter around you.

Who's to blame for the failure of Superior Bank, the Illinois thrift half-owned by the Pritzker family?
Depends on whom you ask. On Nov. 1 the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. pointed the finger at Ernst & Young, Superior's auditor, in a fraud suit filed in federal court here. But that action comes two months after a group of Superior depositors accused the bank's owners and directors, including two members of the Pritzker family, of racketeering, claiming they lined their pockets with money looted from Superior savings accounts.
Superior, a suburban Chicago savings and loan, collapsed in early 2001 under the weight of half a billion dollars in subprime loan defaults and improper accounting that had overstated the thrift's assets by $420 million.
The FDIC's allegation against Ernst & Young made big headlines over the weekend. It seeks $2 billion in damages and claims the firm hid accounting errors at Superior to avoid a scandal that might have interfered with the $11 billion sale of Ernst & Young's consulting group in June 2000. But the FDIC's complaint doesn't implicate Superior's owners or management. In fact, it goes out of its way to sing the Pritzkers' praises and doesn't mention that the family will reap 25% of whatever the FDIC recovers from Ernst & Young.
T hat contrasts starkly with the allegations made in the racketeering suit filed in Illinois state court in August and removed to federal court here last week. The suit, filed by three Superior depositors on behalf of 1,406 individuals who had accounts there, names Thomas Pritzker and cousin
"We think they ought to make the depositors whole, then the principals can fight over whatever scraps are left," says Clint Krislov, the attorney representing the depositors.
Stephen Novack, the Chicago lawyer representing all the defendants in the racketeering case except Ernst & Young, says the claims have no merit. Next week he will ask the court to dismiss the case. Ernst & Young did not return calls seeking comment.
The plaintiffs, whom the complaint describes as "conservative and unsavvy investors," say they were induced to buy certificates of deposit worth at least $100,000 with the assurance that their savings would be federally insured. But, they claim, many of those accounts were not properly insured, leaving them with no recourse when the bank went belly-up last year.
In the meantime, the complaint alleges, the thrift's directors were sucking money out of the thrift by collecting dividends totaling $200 million on Superior's earnings–earnings that, as it turned out, didn't exist. The bulk of those dividends–$188 million–was paid to Coast-to-Coast Financial, the holding company that owned Superior and was controlled by Tom Pritzker and business partner
The Superior investment looked like another Pritzker triumph until Superior blew up two years ago. After the collapse, it looked as if they'd be coughing up most of their winnings. Last December the family cut a settlement deal with the FDIC, agreeing to pay $100 million upfront and another $360 million over 15 years.
But don't count the Pritzkers out yet. In a bizarre twist, the Pritzkers could conceivably turn a profit if the agency wins its lawsuit against Ernst & Young. The family stands to collect 25% of any money the FDIC collects, as negotiated in the December settlement agreement.
Even beyond that, the FDIC seems to be going out of its way to appease the Pritzkers. The agency's complaint against Ernst & Young includes two long, obsequious, seemingly irrelevant paragraphs detailing the Pritzkers' philanthropic efforts in Chicago and lauding the family business as "one of this country's most successful financial enterprises."
The complaint makes no mention of the dividends paid to the principals or of previous FDIC testimony before Congress blaming Superior's management and directors for the thrift's failure. That should give caution to the depositors if they're expecting the FDIC's help in recovering the money they lost at Superior.
Says lawyer Krislov: "We're not sure who our friends are."

Research Topics

Research Overview
The major research focus of the Lee laboratory is in the area of endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress and, in particular, the ER chaperone proteins, GRP78 and GRP94. As Ca2+-binding molecular chaperones, they play important roles in the folding and processing of membrane associated and secretory proteins, many of which control key functions in cell growth, adhesion and cellular communication. With the recent discovery that these GRPs can relocate to the cell surface in stressed cells, this opens up novel functions of the GRPs beyond the ER, including regulation of critical oncogenic signaling from the cell surface.The Lee laboratory is the first to clone human GRP78 and elucidate its transcriptional regulation, an essential role in regulating cellular homeostasis and its requirement for mammalian development, as well as cancer progression and therapeutic resistance. We have created expression vectors and mouse models genetically targeting GRP78 and GRP94 that provide valuable tools to ascertain its functional role in health and disease state. Our laboratory has established the anti-apoptotic properties of GRP78 and its critical role in cancer progression and therapeutic resistance. In cell metabolism, through creating genetic knockout mouse models of GRP78, we obtained direct evidence that GRP78 deficiency could have substantial impact on adiposity and response to diet-induced diabetes and pancreatitis. We also discovered the requirement of GRP78 for maintaining ER integrity and autophagy. Recently, our research has expanded into investigating the role of GRP78 beyond the ER through control of signaling pathways by GRP78 that are localized to the cell surface. Our laboratory is currently developing and testing therapeutics targeting GRP78 for application into cancer and other human diseases.
