In medical schools and neuroscience laboratories around the world, researchers use maps and diagrams of the human brain to teach the fine anatomy of the cerebral cortex. One of the most popular of these is a diagram drawn by German neurologist Korbinian Brodmann back in 1909, detailing the cellular composition of 52 areas in the brain.
This week, an international team of researchers unveiled a brain model for the 21st century: BigBrain, a 3-D digital reconstruction of the human brain with a resolution of 20 microns in 3 directions, finer than the width of a human hair and 50 times more detailed than any other anatomical brain map currently available (1).
"It's only recently that anatomic approaches have become popular again," said Peter Sterns, a senior editor at Science who oversaw the publication of the paper, at a press conference on Wednesday. "Researchers have begun to realize that without a really deep knowledge of structures involved, we will never have an understanding of the data being produced by many of these other techniques."
"BigBrain is the first ever brain model in 3-D that really presents a realistic human brain with all the cells and all the structures," said study co-author Karl Zilles, a neuroscientist at the University of Düsseldorf and Research Center Jülich in Germany.
The model is the product of over 1000 hours of labor simply to collect the data, according to the authors. The brain of a 65-year-old woman was sliced into 7404 sections, each only 20 microns thick—like a flimsy piece of plastic Saran Wrap. Each section was then mounted on a slide, stained to visualize cellular structures, and scanned into a computer. Then that data was digitally reassembled into a 3-D object, including both manual and digital repairs to fix image defects such as rips, tears, folds, and distortions.
The final reconstruction is on the order of a terabyte of data, said lead author Alan Evans of McGill University in Montreal, Canada, whose team produced software tools to allow researchers to explore the data. "It is the equivalent of something over 100 times larger than a typical MRI [scan] volume."
"We can now answer questions that can not be addressed using previous brain models because they require resolution at the cellular level," said Zilles. The new resolution is powerful enough to visualize individual large neurons, such as those 120 micrometers in diameter. Researchers will also be able to use the new atlas as a scaffold to pile on additional data of their own, such as the distribution of receptors in the brain, to learn more about brain function and dysfunction, said Zilles.
"It is a common basis for scientific discussions because everybody can work with this brain model and we can speak about the same basic findings," he said.
The BigBrain is free and publically available to the research community.

"The Cooked Seed: a Memoir" (Bloombury USA), by Anchee Min
In the dedication of her latest book, "A Cooked Seed," best-selling Chinese author Anchee Min thanks her daughter for "making (her) write this book." One cannot help but wonder why — with such a powerful story to tell — Min waited until now to share it. And then, as her rollicking tale takes off and we've forgiven her for the delay, we eagerly join her in a second round of heartfelt thanks to Lauryann.
Min, whose first memoir, "Red Azalea," told the story of her youth in China growing up under the leadership of Chairman Mao and introduced many to the true horrors of that regime, picks up here where she left off. It's 1984, she's 27 and on a plane bound for Chicago with a $500 loan in her pocket, no understanding of English and only a vague plan to study art.
After Mao died and his wife was overthrown, Min was quickly discarded by society, considered "a cooked seed," one that would never sprout. Like generations of immigrants before her, Min bore her family's burden of heading to America to save herself and rescue them all from a life of poverty.
With that heavy weight on her shoulders, Min faces unbelievable hardship, financial challenges and just plain rotten luck.
Min's writing is as beautiful and compelling as always here, and as we learn how she taught herself English — how else, but by watching TV — and later how she finds her literary voice, her talent is even more astounding.
The only time the narrative peters out is when Min goes into too much detail about her American, Vietnam vet husband. I found myself wanting to know less about him and more about her and her feelings for and her relationship with him.
But, overall, "A Cooked Seed" will hook you and stay with you for a long time.

dudes! that character of course is a one by flying fortress, as mentioned before. it´s about the placement, typo and colouring what makes the shirt get a pretty nice touch…
it wasn´t meant to be a rip-off at all, just seemed to be a cool print… a lot of not necessarely self-drawed/developed/photographed stuff is being used here in collages and similar things btw i guess, so calm down…
Yo man, is that really your charater, or are ya straight jackin!
hey Marc, I'm not sure you have any clue of what is artistic creation but know what rip-off is…
how cute!! +1
nice i like your art …
awesome job bro..
+1 from me..
could you check out my first design..
i hope you like it..
This is a Flying Fortress rip-off. Their images are copyrighted. Not only is it unfair but it's also illegal. That is specifically what copyright laws are for. This submission should be removed.
that character is copyrighted.
yeah, but the design is not just made of the character, right? it´s the concept that counts in this case… cheers
hey guy, you just use the character made by Flying Fortress!! That's not very fair!

This card was released in the English Base Set, first originating from the Japanese Expansion Pack. It was reprinted in the English Base Set 2 expansion.
- Most likely because of its complicated and potentially difficult to program Pokémon Power, this card was not included in Pokémon Trading Card Game or Pokémon Card GB2: Here Comes Team GR!. It shares this trait with Ditto.
- The art for this card was accidentally used in the first print run for the non-holo Electrode of the Jungle expansion.

Defending champion and Titleist Brand Ambassador Bryce Molder will trust a Pro V1x golf ball and a bag full of Titleist equipment as he attempts to go back-to-back at CordeValle Golf Club in San Martin, Calif. Team Titleist was on the range with players earlier this week as they prepared their games for another chance to move up the money list and secure a PGA Tour card for the 2013 season. In total, 89 players in the 132-player field are trusting Titleist Pro V1 and Pro V1x golf balls for their success, more than seven times the nearest competitor with 12 and more than all other golf balls combined. This includes 21 players who will be teeing up the new Pro V1 (3) and Pro V1x (18) prototype golf balls that were introduced on tour last week in Vegas. Titleist is also first in the sand, lob and approach wedges (103) and putter (51) categories. Check out the slideshow above for a closer look at some of the action from earlier in the week.

It is a clear gel that is easy to apply. It gives a slippery feel though. Not very mattifying for my very oily nose. I don't know what to do with my oily nose anymore. I tend to use it when it comes to that time of month to prevent acne.

Great product
Absolutely love this primer! I tend to have oily skin so this slows the oil-buildup process. It provides a great 'foundation' for my actual foundation to go onto. Love the silky texture that it has as well, my make up seems to 'glide on' more easily which is great! I loved this so much that I had to buy the larger sized tube!

In pastry school there was a course called "Classic Cakes and Tortes". After having worked in the most popular bakery in my home town, I thought, "Yes! finally I'll learn how to make all those fabulous layer cakes". Not exactly—what the culinary school had in mind was to teach us the traditional French and Austrian classics, not how to assemble a malted Milky Way mousse cake. Nonetheless, in making sacher tortes, opera tortes, and all those fancy Vienna coffee house cakes, I gained an appreciation for the oldies but goodies.
Though not out of the school recipe books, this cake reminds me of exactly the type of classic, low-to-the-ground type torte that we'd mix up in class. Toasted and ground hazelnuts form the flourless base to this dense crumbed cake, and orange zest complements the hazelnuts well. Whipped egg whites are folded in to the batter to lighten up the texture. Bread crumbs are an unusual but common addition to these types of rich nut tortes, as they not only help to lighten up the cake but were probably a way to stretch the nuts. Instead of standard bread crumbs, I folded in a handful of light and airy Japanese Panko crumbs.
Though not gluten-free, this flourless cake is outrageously moist. So much so that it's almost squishy—but who ever complains about a moist cake? No one. And what better to enrobe it but a smooth slick of espresso flavored chocolate ganache.

text: Apple TV 2.0 ReviewJason Chen2/13/08 8:30amFiled to: apple tv reviewAppleApple TVStreaming VideoTopappletvFeatureVideo RentalsVerizonbestmodo921EditPromoteShare to KinjaToggle Conversation toolsGo to permalink Click to viewEver since our Apple TV 1.0 review decided that Apple's thrust into the living room wasn't pantsworthy, we've been waiting for them to step up and make a revision that was. Apple TV 2.0 is their answer. (Let's stop calling it Take 2, please!) It's everything Apple TV should have been when it launched, complete with audio and video podcasts, Flickr and .Mac integration and—most importantly—movie rentals without a computer. At $229, it's an essential part of any iTunes user's living room arsenal. The New UI: Gone is the right side text, left side image menu system of the first-gen Apple TV. It's now a two-column affair, with the major categories on the left and subcategories for the selected entry on the right. It may not be quite intuitive at first, but you'll get the hang of it in about 30 seconds. Simple and easy to use is the name of the game in the end, which is more than fine for the 10-foot living room experience, since Apple TV doesn't really have all THAT many functions once you break it down. But the good news is, all of them behave the way they're supposed to. Movies: This is going to be the core of your Apple TV experience. Browsing for movies is a fairly easy task, with a Top Movies section listing the most popular movies available right now, along with a genre browser and a search function. Typing in your Apple login and password with the remote is arduous, and you'll want to let the Apple TV remember your password for future sessions (unless you're worried about security, then you'll have to go through the fun of re-typing in your password every time you rent/buy anything). After you accept the EULA, your Apple TV buffers for about a minute before you can start watching; longer if your connection sucks. Advertisement Advertisement It's $3.99 for an SD rental and $4.99 for an HD, then you have 30 days to start watching it and 24 hours to finish watching it once you've started. That's competitive with Blockbuster, Netflix and other VOD services. There's a limited selection of content right now, despite the fact that Apple has the full blessing of all the major studios, which means that Netflix is still your best bet for the time being in terms of most content for your buck. This is especially true when you account for their streaming Watch Now program, which can now be used directly on your TV via a Media Center PC. If you're talking just HD content, your selection gets narrowed down even further. Not that it really matters that much in the end, since the HD you're streaming doesn't look nearly as good as an actual Blu-ray or HD DVD disc. But it's still better than SD. If we had to scale the HD movie picture quality of HD on a scale where Blu-ray is a 10, HD cable is a 7 and VHS is a 1, this would be about a 5. It's better than DVD, but it's not "true" HD. Oh, and their 5.1 audio doesn't sound as good either. It's good enough to watch and think you're watching HD, but it's not quite good enough for true HD movie fans. Podcasts and Movie Trailers Browsing Podcasts is almost exactly like browsing movies for rentals. You scroll around, find a video (Collegehumor's Street Fighter: The Later Years for example), and hit play or download. Depending on how the podcast you're watching is encoded, you can either make out that Blanka's makeup is splotchy around the neck and beard, or barely be able to tell the difference between Mike Birbiglia and Jim Gaffigan on Comedy Central's two-minute clips. It's usually watchable at the very least, plus it's free, so there's little to complain about. You can also subscribe to your favorite podcasts, which will be downloaded to your Apple TV when you go to your "My Podcasts" screen and click on them. Sponsored Movie trailers are pretty much the same as before. Browse around, pick a trailer, then watch it. Incidentally, it's very distracting trying to write a review when the thing you're reviewing throws up stuff like the Dark Knight trailer in your face. Photos .Mac and Flickr galleries look fantastic, with slick transitions and soundtrack support. It definitely works better than it did back at Macworld (after which Steve Jobs choked an engineer backstage), and is fairly easy to set up once you go through the one-time process of typing in a contact's name using the Apple remote. I hooked it up to Adam Frucci's Flickr gallery, and boy does his crotch look huge in HD. You can still view your iTunes-synced photos as well, if you're feeling frisky. TV Shows, Music Browsing TV shows and Music is essentially the same as what you get on the computer, except clumsier since you have to do everything with the remote. Once you find something you like, you can purchase it directly onto your Apple TV without going to your machine. Advertisement YouTube It's the same as before. Browse YouTube like you would on your iPhone or your computer. Watch amateurs make amateur-grade video.Random Notes In case you cared, it took about four minutes for me to download the update, and another 10 minutes to install it.Verdict Just like Apple TV 1.0, it's a fantastic way for people to get their iTunes-purchased movies, music and TV shows from their computers onto their living room TVs. What's even better—the "mass appeal," if you like—about version 2.0 is that it doesn't require a computer to function. People can plop down an Apple TV into their homes and rent movies, listen to iTunes music, sync up with their grandchildren's Flickr or .Mac streams, or just waste an hour surfing YouTube.The only question you have to ask yourself to justify this purchase is whether or not you have faith in Apple to back up their fancy piece of hardware with content—both on the Movie and TV side—in order to provide you something to watch for years to come. It may take a while, and things might not go entirely smoothly (see NBC's iTunes departure for example) but I think they'll get there. And for the new, lowered price of $229, it's not even an expensive gamble. [Apple] Reply92 repliesLeave a reply

R.R. Marshall: Steve, I am very happy to report that the demise of the New England Patriots has been greatly exaggerated, as the Patriots humiliated their archrivals the Jets by the tune of 37-16 on Sunday night. I guess for once Rex Ryan was left at a loss for words?
Steve Grogan: I didn't see the postgame interviews but I understand he didn't have much to say. His team made too many mistakes and you can't get away with that against a good team. It was amazing to me that it was easy for the Patriots as it was. I really expected the Jets to play a much better football game, especially against a secondary that was composed of just about anybody they could find to throw back there. The Patriots shut down the run and they finally got some pressure on the quarterback and forced him to make some mistakes. Once again when their offense can score 30 and their defense plays half way decently they're going to win football games, and the Jets found that out for the second time this season.
RRM: The Patriots had been shut out in the second half in their last two trips to Met Life Stadium but this time around they won the game by going no huddle and putting up 21 points over the final 30 minutes. Of course it helps when you have a quarterback like Tom Brady going 26 of 39 for 329 yards and three touchdowns?
SG: The game was definitely won in the second half. They were feeling each other out in the first half and Stephen Gostkowski hit a couple of key field goals to give them some early momentum. I thought the 50-yarder that he hit to tie the game at 3-3 was big because if he misses that the Jets get the ball at midfield and they have another chance to put some points on the board and put you in a hole.
I thought the Patriots had a much better game plan than the Jets did in the second half. Tom Brady played well but he still had some throws that were a little unusual for him where he missed a couple of open receivers, but overall he appeared to be pretty comfortable. Right now he has something special going with Rob Gronkowski, and Wes Welker didn't have to carry the load which was fortunate because I thought the Jets did a nice job of taking him out of the game.
RRM: You and others have criticized the Patriots offense for being too predictable by targeting either Wes Welker or the tight ends on nearly every play. I guess when one of those tight ends is Rob Gronkowski that's not necessarily such a bad thing after all?
SG: No, it's not. The kid has just got a knack for getting open and catches almost everything thrown to him. He's really turning himself into one of the premiere tight ends in the league.
RRM: Rex Ryan was asked why Gronkowski was so effective against his defense and he said because he is 6-7 and catches everything that is thrown in his direction. It seems pretty obvious he had no answers for Gronk?
SG: He's an incredibly difficult player to defend against. If you put a linebacker on him he can run away from him, and if you try and put a safety on him he's so much bigger than a safety that balls that are up high they're not going to get he will. He's a little bit of a freak to be that big and be able to run routes the way that he does and have the hands that he has. He's a fortunate guy to have around right now.
RRM: We talk about the chess match that goes on between Bill Belichick and Rex Ryan when the Patriot and Jets get together and the bunch set the Patriots used on offense really seemed to confuse the Jets secondary this time around?
SG: They've used that bunched look a little bit before but not as much as they used it in this game. Apparently the Jets hadn't prepared for it because they hadn't seen that much of it, which is surprising because other teams run it and you would think they would have an idea of how to cover it but apparently they didn't because it worked to perfection. Even Chad Ochocinco got open against them!
RRM: Bill Belichick finally let the dogs loose on defense and came after Mark Sanchez with blitzes and an aggressive push from his defensive ends. Did he make that decision to throw caution to the winds because Sanchez was the opposition quarterback?
SG: I think it probably was. Sanchez is the kind of quarterback that if you get some pressure on him he is going to make mistakes. He's proven that since the start of his pro career, that he'll make some crazy throws if you get someone in his face. I think they had a game plan coming in that they were going to get in his face and if they could sack him great if not they had to rattle him a little bit because that Patriots' secondary is playing with people that no one has ever heard of. It was actually the first time I've ever watched a Sunday or Monday night game where they say let's meet the Patriots' defense and the player will introduce himself and name his college, and the Patriot had two players where all they had were pictures. They hadn't had time to film the piece where they tell people who they were and where they came from [laughs]! I've never seen that before, that was just crazy.
RRM: Last week we speculated on how much that gut-wrenching last second loss to the Giants would do to the emotional state of this Patriots team. Given they way they responded against the Jets I guess it's fair to say this team has a little more character than we gave them credit for?
SG: That's probably true. Bill Belichick and his coaching staff have always found a way to get the team motivated after they've suffered a loss they figured they shouldn't have had. He's a great motivator, and somehow he found a way to get his team to believe in themselves. He put together a great game plan and got his team to execute it almost flawlessly. It was just a great effort by the coaching staff and the players.
RRM: The Patriots' reward for the victory is a day of rest on Sunday before they entertain the Kansas City Chiefs at home on Monday night. Do you get the feeling old friend Romeo Crennel is not looking forward to trying to defend against Tom Brady and company this week?
SG: Traveling to and from Kansas quite a bit I've been able to follow the Chiefs quite a bit and I can tell you their defense it just absolutely awful. Their secondary has struggled all season and the team is just reeling right now. They've lost two straight games to mediocre opponents in Miami and Denver and they don't have the talent on defense to stop anybody. I'm still trying to figure out how you lose to Tim Tebow and the Broncos when they complete only two passes the entire game against you. The Chiefs just aren't a very good football team right now, but again the Patriots can't take them too lightly because as we saw all across the NFL last Sunday any team can jump up and bite you if you're not ready to play. Just ask people in Baltimore and Detroit right now. I'm sure the Patriot's coaches will be stressing that this week in practice and the hope is they can jump off to a quick lead and take the Chiefs out of this game early.
RRM: Matt Cassel left Sunday's game against Denver wearing a cast on his hand which leaves him doubtful for this week. Is his back up Tyler Palko ready for prime time?
SG: It's a shame if Matt Cassel isn't able to play in this game given the time he played here and that really good season he had as the starting quarterback in 2008 when Tom Brady was hurt all year. I haven't seen Palko play so I can't give you a report on him, but if the Patriots defense continues to play at the level they played at against the Jets the young man will have his hands full.
RRM: Stanford's Andrew Luck had absolutely no luck against Oregon on Saturday night as his team's championship aspirations were dashed by the visiting Ducks. From what you saw does Luck have the goods to be the #1 quarterback in next year's draft?
SG: I did watch the game and I wasn't overly impressed with his performance. I hadn't seen much of him before that but I had heard all the hype. He's got the physical tools an NFL quarterback needs; he's got the size and he's got the arm. Oregon really put the pressure on him and made him look bad at times, so I don't know if that is going to affect his #1 pick status or not.
RRM: Phil Simms has already come out and said that Luck doesn't make NFL-type throws. Did you see enough to conclude that he is right about him?
SG: That's funny because after they mentioned that on the broadcast the announcer kept saying the rest of the night, "That looked like an NFL throw,…, that looked like an NFL throw." Everybody has a bad game once in awhile and he had one the other night, but if he has another couple like that then the questions will start.
RRM: Right now the Colts with their perfect 0-10 record will own that #1 pick but rumor has it that Luck does not want to force Peyton Manning out of a job if he wants to try and play again. What's your take on that?
SG: I'd be extremely surprised if Peyton comes back and plays. Having had the neck problem if it is not fixed after three operations and you're waiting for nerves to regenerate it's going to be awhile before he sees the football field and even then it's going to be a little risky going back out there. But he's made enough money so I think he can slide right into the broadcast booth and still make a bundle and be a lot safer.
RRM: Would you like to see the NFL adopt a draft lottery like the NBA to avoid any controversy about teams tanking games to improve their draft position?
SG: No, I don't think so. I think that NBA Draft Lottery is totally unfair. There were a couple of times when the Celtics had the worst record and they had so many ping pong balls and they ended up picking fifth or sixth. To me whether you try to be the worst team or not, you wind up the worst team you get the first pick. That's the way it ought to be.
RRM: What are Grogan's grades for the 37-16 blowout win over Rexie's boys?
SG: I'm giving them A's across the board. I may be going easy on them this week but I hate the Jets so much any time you beat the Jets you get an A! You have to single out Andre Carter and Rob Ninkovich for their efforts on defense, and certainly Gronkowski needs a special mention as well. This win is gong to provide a big confidence boost for this defense. When you play a good team and play that well no matter who you are, a no name player in the secondary or Vince Wilfork you're going to feel pretty good about yourself and that only helps going into your next game.

In which we pay ultimate tribute to the very best (and worst) slasher villains in film history. If you ever meet any of them on the street, make sure you have a weapon handy. By Stacie Hougland & Chuck Walton
This satirical-yet-sublimely scary movie put the teen-slasher movie reboot into hyperdrive, featuring a maniac wearing quite possibly one of the most disturbing (and now Halloween-ubiquitous) masks of all time.
This monster of urban legend was more bitter than sweet, exacting brutal and bloody revenge for his lost love in the bathrooms and byways of the Chicago projects. Dare you to repeat "Candyman" five times in the mirror without thinking twice, even today.
OK, it's kind of a cheat -- this was a Stephen King TV movie. Still, this movie set the bar for evil clowns whose only pranks involve death and misery. There's a word for the intense fear Pennywise inspired in '90s kids: "coulrophobia."
He's offering you a box that looks like a nifty present, but trust us, it's never a good idea to accept things from a guy with pins in his face. Especially if he's the lead Cenobite from hell and wants to take you on the ultimate experience of pleasure and pain...emphasis on the pain.
When two kids follow this freak home they see things they don't want to see -- especially when they're stuck in his basement. Even scarier, he's a panty-sniffer. BEATINGU!
Don't let the trike fool you, this psycho created the most horrifically inventive ways to kill folks Hollywood's ever seen. Even though he's long dead now, his legacy lives on in the sequels.
It's bad enough being trapped in the middle of nowhere. On top of that, you're being chased by a clan of crazy cannibals, foremost among them a hulking, disturbed individual who wears a mask made of human skin. That blows for his onscreen victims, but it's slasher nirvana for the hardcore Leatherface fans.
If you're a child of the '80s, there's a good chance the sight of a hockey mask brings up memories that have nothing to do with pucks and goalies. While Mamma Voorhees did the dirty work in the original, it's Jason and his countless sequels that make campers pack those extra flashlight batteries, and the heavy duty pepper spray.
Freddy lightens up some to test out his standup comedy in the sequels, but he keeps the quips to a minimum in the first Elm street edition. Under Wes Craven's careful direction, Krueger's one scary, scarred-up neighborhood boogeyman. Ever since, even red-and black (er, olive)-striped sweaters seem a bit spooky.
Beyond John Carpenter's filmmaking, there are a few reasons why Myers is the ultimate slasher. One, he has no gimmick (he wears a William Shatner mask, but how frightening is that?). Two, he's unstoppable. Three, he has no personality. No humor, no freaky fetishes..just unrelenting evilness..yiikes... And for the 10 most absurd slasher villains...
If Gary Busey is ever asked to name the lowlights of his long showbiz career, we're thinking his title role in this stinker could rank high on the list. We'll pass on seconds of this tale of a killer reborn as a cookie monster.
The dark slickers, the mask, and the fishing hook are sort of creepy, but come on Ben, we've seen this all done before, and in much more entertaining slasher flicks. Jason, Michael...get this guy.
No, Virginia, this St. Nick is hardly a jolly fellow -- he doles punishment and death out as Christmas gifts whether you're naughty or nice. Ho, ho, noooooo....
Note to slasher filmmakers: any slasher icon under 4" has a limited scare factor. While we find Chucky a hoot to laugh at, we keep wondering why none of his victims don't just dropkick him into the nearest garbage dump, or at least set up the frustrated chap with a cabbage patch doll.
Orange jumpsuit notwithstanding (the black and white checkers are a nice touch), there's not much shock in this shocker. Wes Craven and star/future director Peter Berg give it the ol' college try, but horror hero Horace Pinker just looks like the guy from "The X-Files" doing his worst serial killer imitation (oh, hey, that is Mitch Pileggi).
Those crazy killer leprechauns. We agree that the mug is downright horrifying, but again, it's hard to be terrified by a pint-sized slasher villain. It's more scary that Jennifer Aniston co-starred with the runt.
One of two terrible Stephen King movies to make this list featured a baddie in the form of a retarded gardener who inflicts damage Black & Decker style.
Chillin' like a villain made out of three big round balls of white slush wearing a plaid scarf and a cigar nose? Come on! Honestly, you wouldn't need a gun or knife to fight this guy off, just a hairdryer.
Gross food, threats of short sheeting and panty raids -- isn't summer camp terrifying enough without a vengeful she-male with sexual hangups and a large knife on the loose?
A doctor you don't want anywhere near your house, this medicine man induced laughs of only the unintentionally hilarious kind. If you liked this movie, it's time to pay your own physician a visit. Which good, bad or ugly slasher villain did we miss? Email us at email@example.com

You're Next
There's no place like home, especially when it comes to domestic violence, random atrocities, and atavistic, unnamable evil. Such has been the case in a few recent successful, low-budget genre films. In "The Purge," set in a future dystopia in which a special day has been established for citizens to commit random crimes with impunity, the safest residence on the block proves no defense against jealous neighbors.
In "The Conjuring," a small family's dream house turns into a nightmare because of malignant spirits. Like those two films, Adam Wingard's sly, diabolical, and oddly moral "You're Next" draws on the home invasion/haunted house scenario, but outclasses them with its wit, irony, and technically proficient terror.

Their clients maintain a shred of dignity
Travis Pauck sounds like a psychiatrist when he talks about helping clients get over 'whatever level of paranoia they have.' Actually, he is sales manager for the Portland franchise of Shred-it, an international document-shredding company. Pauck and a staff of 14 reassure nervous clients by destroying such confidential papers as payroll information and customer lists. Shred-it and other local firms with names such as Docu-Shred and AM Document Destruction dispatch shredding trucks, outfitted with industrial-size shredders, to workplaces throughout Portland to shred on-site. The company charges $38 per hundred pounds of documents. Even before the current Enron-Arthur Andersen paper-shredding brouhaha, Pauck said, businesses had increasingly been seeking shredding services. For their records, clients receive a 'certificate of destruction' after the shredding is done, Pauck said.

Last week, the founder and CEO of Interactive Brokers, Thomas Peterffy, explained, during an appearance on CNBC, his belief that America is well on her way to socialism. Peterffy's warnings come on the heels of his recent election ad, intent on cautioning voters against casting ballots for the party which would 'take away the wealth that helps us [the wealthy] take care of the needy". According to Peterffy, the America that regulates businesses, imposes higher taxes, and increases spending all in the name of social equality is ripe for a 'socialist takeover'. To his credit, the federal government has spent trillions over the last four years rescuing banks buried in debt, combating unemployment and has tried its hand at some regulatory reforms with Dodd-Frank and Affordable Care, but is this really socialism? How exactly do higher taxes on the wealthy set the stage for a socialist takeover, when nearly every social revolution in history came from the working class? Is Peterffy, an immigrant from Communist Hungary, even correct when he says socialism? At best, Peterffy's acusations boil down to yet another sad coloring of federal spending and regulation by a misstepping conservative playing the communism card.
The America Peterffy Believes In
During his interview, Peterffy stressed the upcoming election's impact on the development of socialism in the United States. He argued that the choice for voters was between a path of increased government influence over the economy through regulation and deficit spending, and a path that returns to the "American tradition of economic freedom and individual liberties." In his view, America has reached a critical turning point in its history, thanks to the increased dependency on federal entitlement programs and if Democrats win in November, more than half of Americans would be dependent on some form of government assistance by 2016, laying the groundwork for a 'socialist takeover'.
For Peterffy, a Democratic administration also means dramatic increase in taxes since the Constitution doesn't explicitly limit the government's ability to set income tax rates. The wealthiest Americans and corporations could see tax rates up to 100 percent which would catalyze the abandonment of businesses by owners, increase starvation, and prompt the formation of a police state. He dismisses the idea that corporate America hopes for a Republican administration because of the potential benefits of lower corporate and capital gains tax rates alongside less regulatory oversight from federal authorities.
Is Spending And Regulation 'Socialism'?
Peterffy's confusion of socialism aside, the increase in federal public debt (the actual liabilities on the government's balance sheet) is largely the product of the government's stabilization and recovery efforts. CBO data shows that the government spent around $7.21 trillion between FY2008 and FY2010. Of that, $3.847 trillion can be accounted for in the government's various recovery and recapitlization programs
- American Recovery And Reinvestment Act: $787 billion
- Troubled Asset Relief Program: $700 billion
- AIG recapitalization: $60 billion
- Sale of Bear Stearns to JPMorganChase: $25 billion
- Capital Injection to Fannie and Freddie: $275 billion
- Quantitative Easing through 2010: ~2.054 trillion
It's important to note that most of these funds have gone to the banking sector to encourage lending and investment, and despite the guarantee of continued liability purchasing and low interbank rates from the Federal Reserve, levels of economic activity remain modest.
On regulation, claims of socialism are equally overstated because the most recent regulatory enhancements only moderately increase federal presernce in financial markets. New improvements in federal oversight come from Dodd-Frank, but as discussed in "The American Recession" Parts 1 & 2, Dodd-Frank focuses on regulators identifying systemic risks and managing the bankruptcy of banks 'Too Big To Fail." The only portions of the Dodd-Frank law that permit federal authorities to intervene in the business of financial markets are titles V, VII, and IX. Dodd-Frank grants no new authority to really intervene in financial markets by: separating commercial and investment banking, monitoring high frequency trading, or prohibiting special purpose vehicles.
Could America See Peterffy's Socialism?
No because Peterffy isn't really talking about socialism, he's talking about Communism and calling it Socialism. Thomas Peterffy was born in Hungary in 1944 and emigrated to the United States in 1965. History tells us that after Nazi Germany was relieved of its conquests in Eastern Europe, Soviet Russia's Red Army began a military occupation of Hungary and for five years tried (with varying degrees of success) to install Communists in important political positions. With reinforcements from Moscow, the communists in Hungary formed the People's Republic of Hungary in 1949, beginning the era of Stalinism in Hungary. Peterffy would have seen much of the failed 1956 Revolution and lived through the early years of the Goulash-period in Hungarian communism until he finally left Hungary in 1965.
Stalinism and Goulash Communism are two offshoots of Soviet Communism, which is commonly confused in the United States as a socialism, but the two couldn't be any further apart in 20th century politics. Generally, communism is a left-wing radical movement seeking to supplant the existing political structure and replace it with a new one. The new government seizes the modes of production and reditributes them equally (in a quantitative sense) throughout the population. Most Socialism observed during the 20th century falls in line with what Marx described as, "Conservative" or "Bourgeois Socialism," in which the existing political model is retained and only reformed to provide answers to societal concerns. Also problematic is Peterffy's, socialist takeover theory, where he suggests that raising taxes on the wealthiest of society and regulating businesses would lead to some type of socialist revolution. History tells us that nearly all of the revolutions that established Communist governments began as popular uprisings from the lower or working classes. Interestlingly, most socialism originated from monarchist counter-revolutionaries trying to maintain the status quo, where the wealthly enjoyed the greatest privilege.
Last Words
At its core, Peterffy's election ad campaign shouldn't be viewed as anything more than another Wall Street financier's endorsement of a candiate who would lower his taxes. Peterffy is the founder and CEO of a major electronic trading firm, an industry the SEC is seeking to regulate if it ever crawls out from under the mountain of lawsuits over Dodd-Frank. He's even maxed out his donations to the Romney-Ryan campaign and sits squarely in the one percent as the 77th Richest American. Pardon me if I choose not to heed the word of a socialist.

Welcome Team # 3 From the left Top row:
LaNeisha Murphy now training as a BSFT Supervisor (BCS), Candace Trato, Shayna Irvine, our own Silvia Kaminsky, Vanessa Vodel
Bottom row: Nicole Nasierowski and Shanita Theil
The Family Therapy Training Institute of Miami is proud to be the premier provider of Brief Strategic Family Therapy (BSFT) Training Certification and Implementation.
Organizations and agencies with intent to implement Brief Strategic Family Therapy™ for their clients must provide training, supervision and certification for their therapists.
The training program consists of both workshops and a supervised practicum.
BRIEF STRATEGIC FAMILY THERAPY TRAINING WORKSHOPS - 9 DAYS (Typically)
BSFT certification training is typically delivered onsite in a series of 3 workshops (9 days total) over a period of several months. The typical training cohort is 4-7 students. This typical training package can be customized to accommodate variances in the size of a training cohort, the trainees experience level, and/or other unique circumstances.
The workshops, which are preceded by a 1-2 day Organizational Consultation Visit, cover all essential BSFT elements including: theoretical concepts and foundation, relevant research findings, the diagnostic schema, treatment planning, and achieving systemic change. The workshops are a combination of didactic practice exercises and videotape analysis. Both live and videotape demonstrations are conducted, as well as clinical case consultations. Additionally, the BSFT Engagement Model for resistant families, and specifics for doing in-home BSFT, are also taught. The workshops address especially complex clinical dilemmas and allow time for therapists to practice essential skills. Trainees can---and should---begin seeing families using BSFT after Workshop # 1.
Supervision leading to certification in BSFT begins 1-2 weeks after Workshop 1 and continues typically for 4-6 months (3 months is the minimum) depending on trainee advancement. Supervision entails weekly phone/video reviews of the trainees' videotaped BSFT family therapy sessions, group feedback and consultation.
Agencies intending to implement BSFT must have BSFT-Certified clinicians. Certification is awarded to trainees who complete the supervision stage and show competency in the mastery of BSFT principles. Certification is granted by the Family Therapy Training Institute of Miami (FTTIM)'s Competency Board. Yearly recertification is required to continue to practice BSFT for the first 3 years. Thereafter, recertification occurs every 2 years.
Licensing is not required to practice BSFT.

Ah, the new ampersand rules!
The question mark is a bit too smooth - it needs some of that funky modulation.
You may be right about the old "j". What about a Centaur-style one?
Today, learn about the Armenian Genocide.

That new ampersand works beautifully.
It has shades of Golden type I'd say it;s a venetian
Thank you very much! That ampersand was a nightmare, but one I learnt a lot from. One structural problem with the ampersand is that it has to balance between upper and lower case, as it belongs to neither (or both). I tried to do that by combining the upper case cusp and diagonal with the lower case flag serif and v/k/x-arm.
I'm quite satisfied with that my new ampersand has a rather conventional outline, yet still is structurally not so orthodox. One can clearly see a rather undistorted 'et', without the glyph being too cursive nor too "literal".
Your honest and very qualified critique is invaluable! I cannot imagine how I can ever draw type this good without Typophile.
I think Centaur's j terminal looks like melting, brittle metal. That's cool, but not for my typeface. But I'll try to come up with a more distinct shape (though I quite like it as it is, I realise it might be a bit passive.)
I think I need to do something else than drawing tomorrow. Stay tuned for updates in a couple of days.
That is one insane g, Sevag! Thank you.
I've thought about making such an upwards-pointing spur on mine, by the way, but just can't get it right. Should I keep trying? By the way, what are good examples of typefaces with an open 'g'? I'm not counting Baskerville, it's aperture is purely ornamental.
• Gerrit Noordzij's Ruse
• Jeremy Tankard's Enigma.
• Robert Slimbach's http://Kepler
• Colin Brignall's ITC Italia
• Eric Spiekerman's Meta Serif
• Typejockeys' Ingeborg
• Cheltenham
• Zuzana Licko's Mrs Eaves
• Steve Jackaman's Schiller Antiqua
• Some Cochin stuff
• Dino dos Santos' Andrade and also his Cultura
• Yuri Gordon's AntiQuasi
• Paratype's Bodoni by Alexander Tarbeev
• Jean François Porchez' Ambroise
• François Rappo's http://Didot Elder
• Michael Mischler and Nik Thoenen's Catalog
• Miles Newlyn's Democratica
• Kontrapunkt's own Kontrapunkt
Sindre, I fully agree with you on Baskerville's "g". I have previously called its opening "apologetic", but ornamental (or cosmetic) might be even better. There is however one Baskerville revival that does it right: Fountain's "1757".
Frode, nice of you to compile such a list! Personally I only find Ingeborg's to be good enough (although the one in Tarbeev's Bodoni is OK). Sindre's is better than any of those... although maybe I feel that way because it's structurally similar to the one in my own Patria:
And Sindre, in fact the only thing I'd change in yours (which I mentioned before) would be to give it a rising ear.
Today, learn about the Armenian Genocide.
I don't think Enigma's g is half bad, mainly because the aperture is so high and the link frees up space. It doesn't look like a mistake, like most other open binocular g's.
Thank you, Frode! I've been browsing your typeface list, and I have to agree with Hrant. Those g's aren't really similar to ours, they are all (even Ingeborg's) embellishments on the same old structure. Most of them treat the opening like the gap in a renaissance 'P', the stroke is continued, althoug there's no ink there. Our 'g' descenders are much more independent, and they have a terminus.
Ingeborg (that I haven't at all heard about) is irritatingly similar to my unfinished Mondegreen, by the way). While it's a good typeface, I think it suffers from slighly sloppy curves and lack of attention to micro-detail. Enigma is good, too.
It looks like the typeface from your list that has the most comparable g's to ours is ITC Italia. But the rest of it looks like a parody of William Morris' parody of Nicolaus Jenson.
Hrant, your right (again), I've now come to think that an upwards-pointing ear is inevitable.
Er ... I must have been extremely tired when I wrote that last post. Otherwise I wouldn't have made one of the most embarassing orthographical errors one can possibly make in English.
Couldn't help myself. Here's a first draft of a new 'g'. I'm unsure about this.
That ear followed by a midline serif (as in /n/) strikes a sour note, I'm afraid.
Keep it simple (that's what I had to do
after trying too hard with the ear in Patria).
BTW, one inspiration for my "g" was the one
in the Italic of Zapf-International (and I have
Roy Preston to thank for pointing it out to me).
This simple? (Very quickly thrown together, but I think the structure just might work.)
Maybe a little too chipper. Try curling it the other way.
That's looking promising. Would you consider softening the underside join, kind of like you had with the "signal range" version?
Oh yes. The version I showed just wasn't fused into one outline yet. In fact, softening of corners has become quite a compulsion for me, fonts with sharp corners and straight lines now look unfinished and crude to me (though I know that isn't the case. I also know that most of my time-consuming filing and filling won't be visible at print sizes anyway.
(By the way, for a soft-cornered typeface, I must say this is starting to look pretty violent. Must be Hrant's influence. That 'j' (slightly modified now) is a scythe, the question mark a sickle, and 'e' reminds me of some kind of blade my father, the luthier, uses for scraping the inside of a carved-top string instrument.)
Another thing I'd like to ask you: What adjective(s) would you use to decribe this typeface? I really should be thinking of a name soon ...
alive, assured, assuring, authentic, comfortable, generous, literary, old-school, philosophical, respectful, tenor-voiced, warm, well-read...
(Violence certainly isn't dominant in the adjectives that occur to me!)
I don't know if it's because of the tools you mentioned above, Sindre, or whether I would have thought this anyway, but this definitely looks crafted by tools, sort of carved from wood, with the notches and organic swellings. I personally find the image of traditional Norwegian boats very evocative...perhaps there's a name somewhere in that tradition?
Maybe Nordland or Ballast for a name?
Love both of those words, and are both nautical terms.
Ah! But of course! Why didn't I think of that! That tradition (being older than recorded history) has a load of arcane terminology, with countless dialect variations. There's bound to be a name there. I'll pull out my books tonight.
I'm almost humbled by the adjectives you chose to describe my typeface, Craig. I can only say thank you. Those words certainly renew my inspiration.
Trevor, Nordland is a bit too generic, I'm afraid. It's the name of the second largest county, and in Norwegian the name doesn't imply anything marine without -båt attached to it. Besides, my ancestral farm Bremnes is in Troms, which is the neighbouring county. My ancestors would rotate in their graves. "Ballast" would possibly be more suitable for a heavy sans serif, but still of utmost importance in those boats we're talking about. The large ones have up to two tons of round stones in them. It would be a nice double entendre, though. I'll consider it, really.
> I must say this is starting to look pretty violent. Must be Hrant's influence.
Awwwww. ;-)
Name: something ancient but puerile. "Satyr". As an antidote to Centaur. :-)
Dear friends, meet Satyr. Thank you, Hrant, that name is perfect. The sound of it and the look of it. (Though perhaps not to the same extent some of its connotations, at least not to the early Greek satyrs, as they were ugly, old, sex-crazed men with horse tails. In late Antiquity, they became much nicer and better looking, though.) Actually, I wanted to give an earlier old style attempt the similar sounding (but unrelated) name Saturn, but found out that was taken by some Eurostile copy. Also, my old nom de plume as a causerie writer (and my earlier user name here on Typophile) was Satyagraha. Though yet again unrelated, I chose it for its sound and my associations to it (and literal meaning) rather than its political meaning. (Though I am indeed a fan of Gandhi's methods (and of Sanskrit, possibly the most beautiful of all the recorded Indo-European languages, especially in its earliest stage)).
I still think your idea was brilliant, Ben, and will definitely use it for future projects.
As an antidote to Centaur
I like that!
If you went with the French, Satyre, you could get that cool /e/ in there...
Glad you liked it! Just so you know though, at least in the
US most people will be thinking of the hairy, h0rny guys...
But they did play an instrument! Or two... :-)
To me it works because it's a dark, old, unpredictable thing.
But adding the "e" might be a good idea (unless you mind the
probable "satire" pronunciation).
Wonderful. I'm now visualising mischievous flute-playing forest spirits, and I'm happy with that :)
Now that is a good looking typeface!
Thank you, Brett.
Redrawn numerals. I've tried to continue the turning contrast in as many of them as possible.
I like most of them. The "3" is fine - maybe slightly plain. The "4" rules. The "6" and "9" are definitely a bit plain, and the "8" is way too regular and clean.
The zero: although I'm aware of the need to pull it away from the lc "oh", I've never grasped the benefit of the extreme monoline form. Flipping the contrast is one of the two tricks I'd recommend (especially when you consider that many numerals have flipped contrast anyway). The other is making only the left or right curve thick.
BTW, it looks like the "1" is heavy and the "5" is light.
That zero does have a bit of flipped contrast. I think maybe that along with the widening of it may be too much -- looks like a conventional zero that has fallen over -- but a more circular form I think could work.
Did you consider making the intersection of /6/ and /9/ rhyme with that crazy stuff in your /a/ and /e/ joins? It seems like a somewhat analogous structure.
The zero looks far too geometric, and the 8 should look more like the 3. Nice start, though!
Thank you.
That last update was a little uninspired and lazy. This is much better, though perhaps a little ovedone? Unsure about 69.
About the zero: I really like the one thick side-zero (and have used it before), but I don't think it suits this typeface, it looks just too 1800. So here's a reversed and slightly rotated-zero.
I'm afraid the zero now looks even more "fallen over"...
I'm afraid I agree. But the others are pretty nice.
The 6, 9 (too boxy), and 0 (looks glaringly sideways) still need work. Everything else looks good though!
I like all of them. But maybe people are right about the zero.
BTW, consider making the "2" ascend (especially with the current millennium and all).
Oh. Man. I only just spotted this. Just wanted to say it's love at first sight, and my hat's firmly off to you Sindre. Going to go study the details…
Thank you very much, Nina. Good to see you.
Been working on the italic lately, but now it's back to the roman. Here are some revised figures, lining and old style. Any thoughts highly appreciated.
The lining zero, thanks to its narrowness, doesn't usually need a funky weight distribution to work. Especially if you go for "3/4" lining numerals (something I personally like).
Looking good. I like the "slightly kinky" eight!
This is a very nice face and I can see it used in magazines. The only character I don't like is lowercase g I prefer a closed bowl but its just my personal opinion and being a tad conservative I prefer the last closed question mark
Have a look at the height of the lining seven!
I think your "4" is extreme. Eventually you could minimize your curve ratio a bit.
For comparision the "4" of Relato with a more subtle curve ratio:
>I think your "4" is extreme.
That's kind of the point, no? For me this is a book face, where due to their scarcity, numerals can afford to have a lot of character. I would, however, suggest something with the lining 4 to make it more «capsy». (A foot serif for example.)
I'd say the lining 1 needs bigger feet, and the lining 2 to make the left side of the baseline join lower. I also think the lining figs need a bit of height normalisation. To me the 8 appears small.
Beautiful work, Sindre. I'm very much taking my hats off too, all of them.
Looking absolutely delicious. The 4 and old-style 2 are marvels.
Do you happen to be looking for beta-testers? I'd love to see how it renders in text sizes on an iPad.
>For me this is a book face, where due to their scarcity, numerals can afford to have a lot of character.
Check "… 1944 …" for example. Isn't it too overwhelming? Okay, Sindre knows what to do, or not.
I think you might've just made the typeface I was looking for!
Beautiful work!
Wow, I'm overwhelmed by the number of comments after my last update. Thank you very much, everyone.
About the '4': Yes, it is extreme. But keep in mind that this font is intended for 10 points. This typeface will have true optical sizes (not just text and display, but korpus (10 pt), cicero (12), mittel (14), tekst (20), kanon (36). I'd really like to use those traditional names, by the way, but that's something to decide much later), and the larger the size, the more refined and less boxy everything will be (and the curves shallower). I doubt the curve of '4' will scream excess! at 10 points. But yes, I know what to do, and that is thorough testing. For practical reasons, I must do all testing on paper later in the process.
It seems my '4' (and to some extent the 'g') is a love it or loathe it-glyph. That tells me I'm doing things right.
Another thing: I begun drawing this typeface as a self-educational, strictly non-commercial one (I'm just a hobbyist), and won't think much about saleability during the drawing process. That may change, though.
No time for updates today, but stay tuned.

Wellington: Mar 10, 2014
Elizabeth Hurley has reportedly been left "humiliated" by her former fiancé Shane Warne. Sources revealed to British magazine 'Closer' that the 48-year-old English model has told her friends that she was extremely hurt by the 44-year-old Australian former international cricketer and she wants nothing to do with him.
Sources added that Warne's alleged fling with the boss of underwear giant Ultimo, Michelle Mone, was the final straw and Hurley is upset over his actions, Stuff.co.nz reported.
According to reports, she was hopeful that they would patch things up and the sportsman's comments about being single came out of the blue.

According to Rex... Sanchez, Bart Scott and Eric Smith
According to Rex... Sanchez, Bart Scott and Eric Smith
Cro for sure, maybe d brick and mangold, and I think landry sneaks in by default, hes listed as a SS and the other choices aside from him are weak.. I would love to see Wilk get in but I doubt it
Vlad Ducasse
There is no way Wilkerson makes the pro bowl. There aren't enough spots available, well, maybe as an alternate he will sneak in but I doubt it. He is playing very very well for a second year player but by league's standards I wouldnt really call him dominant yet. He is heading this way but still has some ways to go.
Cromartie should be a lock and I think Landry would deserve it aswell. Brick should be in too and Mangold maybe because of his name.
So why not?! Landry is on pace for over 90 tackles, has two interceptions and four forced fumbles. There are four safety spots available in the pro bowl if I remember correctly. One should be locked up by Ed Reed and then I would go with Ryan Clark. Other than that, there is no other dominant safety out there - Eric Weddle is overrated, Daniel Manning would only get in because his team is good, Jairus Byrd has gaudy INT numbers but isn't a great player either. Landry definitely has a slim chance to go and has been a top ten safety in the AFC this year easily.
While wilk may not get the nod to the pro bowl because the game is a sham, but he deserves every ounce of respect we can give him.
Football outsiders puts him only behind jj watt in the rankings of 3-4 ends. And he accomplished that playing on a "Dline" of hurt pouha, mike devito, and calvin pace all of which = constant double teams.
I sincerely hope coples becomes an every down player next year and him, wilk and ellis....along with a new DE (yes I am done with this 3-4 crap) can become a truly dominant Dline.
Landry's 7th in total tackles, 10th in solo tackles.
There are 11 safeties with more interceptions, with 18 other players with the same (2).
He does lead the league in interceptions by a safety, I'll give you that.
Agreed on Reed and Clark, and then I think Pollard and Jenkins get in before Landry. And yes, Landry qualifies as a top 10 safety. I was wrong about that.
Wilkerson? At what position?
DE? Over who? Watt, Dunlap, Dumervil
Inside? Over who? Ngata, Wilfork
That's without even thinking.
Cro is the only guy on D. Maybe Mangold. It's not like the Jets are any good. There are 16 teams in the AFC. The Jets don't deserve a lot of spots.

New Delhi: A Delhi court on Monday framed charges against sacked CWG organizing committee chairman Suresh Kalmadi and nine others for allegedly cheating, conspiring and causing a loss of over Rs.90 crore to the exchequer in a Games-related corruption case.
Special CBI Judge Ravinder Kaur framed charges under various provisions of the IPC and the Prevention of Corruption (PC) Act against Kalmadi and other accused, including OC secretary general Lalit Bhanot, in the case.
Besides cheating and criminal conspiracy, the accused have also been charged with offences relating to forgery and use of forged documents as genuine, criminal intimidation, destruction of evidence of the IPC and section 13(1)(d) read with section 13(2) (criminal misconduct by public servants) of the PC Act.
After framing of charges, the court fixed 20 February for recording of evidence in the case. The judge said that the evidence will be recorded on a day-to-day basis barring Monday and Friday.
The accused were chargesheeted by the CBI for "illegally" awarding a contract to install Timing, Scoring and Results (TSR) system for the 2010 CWG to Swiss Timing at inflated rates causing a loss of over Rs.90 crore to the exchequer.
Besides Kalmadi and Bhanot, among the other accused in the case are OC's former director general V. K. Verma, former director general (Procurement) Surjit Lal, former joint director general (Sports) A.S.V. Prasad and former treasurer M. Jayachandran.
They are no more associated with the sporting body. The court had on 21 December 2012 passed the order on framing of charges under various provisions of the IPC and the PC Act against Kalmadi and nine other accused in the case.

Happy October!
My big news....he slept, he slept, HE SLEPT!!
He is awake now and playing in his crib, 11 hours and 15 minutes after falling asleep. I think I must be dreaming. He woke up 1 time and DH (dear husband) gt him back to sleep in 5 minutes.
Last night was the best night since before palate surgery. Thank you God! I've been saying thank you since I got up. I'm showered, dressed, hair done and have actually been playing on the computer a little bit.
DH (dear husband) told me last night that he had a talk with J. Told him now that he was 1 they could talk man to man and that he needed to sleep because mommy and daddy needed intimate time. LOL I told him I didn't think he'd listen.
When I got up this morning, first thing DH (dear husband) said was that his talk worked. I told him I think what actually worked was that I told him I'd take him for a cookie today if he slept :)
By the way, Mrs. Fields will give you a free cookie from 11a-1p today to celebrate National Cookie Day or month, whatever it is. We have one of their stores at the mall.
So hopefully last night was only the beginning of being back to normal. Still praying that it wasn't a fluke!!!
If we're FB friends, I've posted some pics from bday and gifts!

No competition. Nothing comes close to that crazy, gross gross gross dude.AdvertisementMild spoilers for fun Trevor moments (nothing for the plot) in the video above. If you rather have your experience completely fresh, feel free to skip this one.The folks at Machinima put together a montage of Trevor's transition moments—those moments where you switch over to one of the three protagonists in GTA V and catch them in the middle of doing whatever they happen to be doing at that time. For Trevor, it almost always involves yelling, throwing things and getting in people's faces all while probably sporting his stained tighty whities. It's part of why he's the best character of the three.

Huma Abedin's week got a bit scarier on Sunday when federal officials ordered extra security to her house after a New Jersey man threatened her.
The New York Post is reporting a Muslim man from New Jersey threatened Abedin after Michele Bachman accused her of having ties to the Muslim Brotherhood. The man was questioned by the NYPD but charges haven't been filed.
Bachman was one of five Republican members of Congress who called for an investigation into Huma Abedin's (nonexistent) ties to the Muslim Brotherhood. John McCain was the first high profile G.O.P member to come to Abedin's defense. Then it was John Boehner. Then it was just about everyone else. There were rumors at the start of the week that Abedin's husband, Anthony Weiner, might be running for New York City Mayor next year. This is, hopefully, the end of a very weird week in the Abedin-Weiner household. We can't help but think of our story earlier this week explaining how the U.S. right wing convinced Egyptians that Obama is a secret Muslim. Abedin is probably wishing all she got was a tomato thrown at her.
