Guitars, Lyrics And Inspiration On Bowie's 'The Next Day'
Guitars, Lyrics And Inspiration On David Bowie's 'The Next Day'
It came like a bolt out of the blue but the new David Bowie album The Next Day received near universal acclaim and was well worth the wait. Ever mercurial Bowie wrote the album on the quiet, in short bursts of creativity working with long time collaborators like Tony Visconti and guitarist Gerry Leonard. Preferring to let creative instincts guide the writing process, the album was recorded live without too many overdubs Gerry says:
"He likes to work fast so the pressure is on," says Leonard. "You just trust your instincts and allow the inspiration to come forward. It's almost a form of subconscious reaction. And that's where the most surprising and beautiful stuff lies."
With everyone arriving in the morning and relying on spontaneous energy they could have everything wrapped up for the day by 5pm. If anything wasn't sounding right it simply got shelved, perhaps returning to it later. Apparently it's common for David to sit on a song idea for years, presenting it at a session to see if the atmosphere is right and putting it on the record if he's happy. Ultimately it's all about instinct, timing and energy.
"David wanted to work on a few songs so one morning I started playing this riff. The amps were cranked up and I could feel his energy. I threw down a beat in Reason and David jumped in with melody and lyrics. Right away he came up with the line 'how a small town girl like you, could be the boss of me,' and that became the song. We wrapped it up and he left with a rough mix in his back pocket."
A permanent fixture in Gerry's rig is the Line 6 DL4 delay pedal which he used for various loops on The Next Day, along with the M9 Multi Effects for textures using tremolo, synths and stutter effects.
Gerry is also a big fan of the James Tyler Variax and his new POD HD500. When you're playing as wide a variety of gigs as Gerry the versatility can be a life saver.
"I've also been really digging into the POD HD500 lately," continues Leonard. "My goal is to make it my fly rig or round town rig. The idea of having one box programmed and tailored to the specific demands of a particular show is really interesting to me. So far, I've done a rock show in Zurich with Aimee Mann producer Paul Bryan, an ambient outdoor show in New York with Laurie Anderson and Steve Buscemi, and an indie club gig with Nina Nastasia—all with the HD500 at the center. Very different each time, and POD was solid and really versatile."

A meme can be defined in many ways. Simply put, it's an idea, concept or action that is spread from person to person. For example, since we're specifically talking about Internet memes, this could be a photo, YouTube video or hashtag. As we see every day in our culture, mobile devices make it all the more easy for us to share information in a snap, so the definition of a meme has transformed and diversified with advances in technology.
The animal memes you're about to see are created when an Internet user takes an animal photo, adds phrases or a caption (often funny), shares it with friends through e-mail, social media or other outlets and lets the web do the work.
With increasing popularity, these memes are prone to go viral, some of them seen by millions. A number of them become chuckle-worthy icons of our Internet culture that give animals the spotlight—and us entertainment.
Join us as we count down the 17 most awesome animal memes to grace the Internet so far.
17. Doge
Introducing Doge, a meme that went viral near the end of 2013, which is most often created with this exact photo of a Shiba Inu. Just as lolcats memes usually include phrases that supposedly reflect the photographed cats' inner monologues with peculiar grammar, so does Doge.
Weird? Yes. Adorable? Definitely.

14. Chef dog
Something tells me this pup doesn't plan on sharing when the cooking is done.
12. Excuses, excuses
Photos of naughty dogs posing with the destruction they've caused have cropped up all over the Internet, many of them with the same excuse. Come on, crazy canines, we all know you can be more creative than that!
9. Chemistry cat
3. Dog shaming
1. Grumpy Cat
Grumpy Cat, otherwise known as Tardar Sauce, gained Internet fame through memes that were created using photos of her permanent grumpy face. Named 2012's most influential cat by MSNBC and winner of BuzzFeed's Meme of the Year Award at the 2013 Webby Awards, this cranky-looking kitty is actually very sweet in real life, according to her owner—but the memes tell a different, hilariously crabby story.

Jamie Foxx
December 12th, 2008
Eric Morlon Bishop, Jr.
Jamie Foxx
Years Active:
'90s, '00s, '10s
Jamie Foxx
A major star on television (In Living Color, The Jamie Foxx Show), the big screen (Any Given Sunday, Collateral, Ray, Miami Vice, Dreamgirls), and radio (his second album, Unpredictable, featured two Top Ten R&B singles), Jamie Foxx — born Eric Morlon Bishop, Jr., in Terrell, TX — started out as a comedian and went through years of gradually escalating recognition before winning an Oscar for his portrayal of Ray Charles in Ray. Though a 1994 album, Peep This, was something of an underground hit, he didn't really break out as a singer until his guest appearance on Kanye West and Twista's "Slow Jamz." The song helped set the stage for his second album, released through J Records at the very end of 2005. Upon release, Unpredictable duked it out for the number one position on the Billboard albums chart with Mary J. Blige's The Breakthrough. It reached number one and eventually went platinum. Intuition, involving input from the-Dream, Timbaland, Ne-Yo, and Floetry's Marsha Ambrosius, followed in late 2008. Like its predecessor, it topped the R&B/Hip-Hop chart, led by "Blame It," one of 2009's biggest party singles. Near the end of 2009, Foxx issued his fourth album, Body. Previewed by the single "Winner" featuring T.I. and Justin Timberlake, Best Night of My Life followed in 2010. The artist has also collaborated with Gladys Knight, Melvin Riley, Adina Howard, MC Lyte, Ludacris, and Snoop Dogg.

DUDLEY � Peter M. Jankowski has officially resigned his post as Dudley town administrator to take a town manager job in Cave Creek, Ariz., that offers professional advancement, better weather and a $44,000 bump in pay.
"These past seven and a half years serving and working with the community have been to me professionally rewarding and has given me a great appreciation for the people of Dudley," Mr. Jankowski wrote in his resignation letter.
Mr. Jankowski had notified Dudley selectmen of the job offer and his acceptance several weeks ago, but his official resignation wasn't penned until Tuesday after the Cave Creek Town Council ratified his contract the night before.
His last day with Dudley is Feb. 2.
"I will mostly miss the interaction with the various individuals of the community, especially my close personal and professional relationship with the selectmen," he wrote. "Over the years, selectmen have come and gone but all had their hearts and efforts for the best of Dudley."
Jonathan Ruda, chairman of the Board of Selectmen, said in an interview, "I think that when it becomes clear that your career goals cannot be met in the position that you hold, the right decision is to seek other opportunities. Peter made a tough decision, albeit the right one."
In a recent interview, Mr. Jankowski said the professional advancement was appealing and the Arizona weather also factored in to his decision to pursue the job.
He joined Dudley as its administrator in July 2006. The Cave Creek job offers a significant pay increase, with a starting salary of $130,350, compared with his current annual salary of $86,350.
Mr. Ruda said he will propose a transition plan to selectmen at their meeting Monday, and the selection of an interim successor is likely. The board, he said, will work to avoid service interruptions before selecting the next town administrator.
With budget deliberations for the next fiscal year set to begin, Mr. Ruda said, his board will rely on in-house expertise to aid the process.
"We are fortunate that Dudley has a great finance team in the town accountant, treasurer/collector and principal assessor. Their assistance and advice will be essential, just as it was to Peter, and just as it will be to the next town administrator," he said.
Mr. Jankowski said he has worked in some form of municipal government since 1988 and he hoped Cave Creek would be his final career stop.
He was a town manager in Athol as well as the Maine towns of Milbridge, Gray and Kittery. He was also a selectman in his hometown of Rollingford, N.H., and is a former New Hampshire state representative.
"I enjoyed working with him and believe that he always gave it his best effort. Peter and his family will be missed and I know that I can speak on behalf of the entire Board of Selectmen in wishing him well," Mr. Ruda said.
Mr. Jankowski and his wife, Laurie, will relocate to Arizona with their children, Sam, 14, Lauren, 12, and Max, 10.

During the period 1975-1979 she worked at the Institute of Cancer in Villejuif (IGR) in charge of the French coordination of a case-control study initiated by the National Cancer Institute (NCI), aiming to a joint American-European analysis of lung cancer risk and tobacco consumption in different countries. She started in the radiation epidemiology field in 1980 and was in charge of the first cohort study in this field in France (uranium miners cohort). She conducted and coordinated several epidemiological studies in relation to low chronic radiation exposure of various types: alpha exposure (radon decay exposure), external exposure (occupational cohorts), post-Chernobyl studies, and studies in the Urals. She also coordinated several multi-national European contracts in the field of radiation epidemiology. She is a member of the French delegation at the United Nations Scientific Committee on the Effects of Atomic Radiation (UNSCEAR) contributing to recently published reports on radon and on Chernobyl effects. She is also member of committee 1 of the International Commission on Radiological Protection (ICRP), where she is presently in charge of a working group that is analyzing cancer risk linked to alpha emitters (radon decay, uranium, plutonium). She is also an expert of the World Health Organization (WHO).
Dr. Margaret R. Karagas
Dartmouth College
Margaret Karagas, Ph.D., is professor of community and family medicine in the Department of Epidemiology at Dartmouth Medical School. She received her Ph.D. from the University of Washington. Professor Karagas??? research includes several epidemiological studies focusing on the etiologic mechanisms and prevention of human cancers and other adverse health outcomes. Among these are investigations to determine the incidence rates of basal cell and squamous cell skin cancer and to assess the extent of any increases in rates over the past 20 years. Another aspect of this research is a population-based case-control study of these malignancies that is designed to quantify the risks associated with tanning lamps, ingestion of arsenic-containing drinking water, immunosuppressive therapy and other factors. The research has been extended to study the effects of arsenic on bladder cancer and to conduct chemical analyses of household drinking water supplies. Her work also includes studies of melanoma among women and collaborative investigations of markers of individual susceptibility and biological response to environmental agents.

Gayle E. Woloschak, Ph.D., is professor of radiation oncology at the Feinberg School of Medicine at Northwestern University. She received her bachelor???s degree in biological sciences summa cum laude from Youngstown State University in Ohio and her Ph.D. in microbiology from the Medical College of Ohio in 1980. Afterward, she served as a postdoctoral research fellow in the Department of Immunology and Department of Cell Biology. In previous scientific positions she has worked at the Mayo Clinic and Argonne National Laboratory. Gayle Woloschak???s laboratory is pursuing several areas of genetic research. Her projects include understanding the molecular basis of motor neuron disease in a mouse model and in humans. This project involves uncovering genes that cause motor neuron disease in a mouse model and also in humans. Her lab has several candidate genes that are being analyzed using a variety of different chip-based and protein-interaction approaches. Another project involves understanding the molecular basis of normal tissue responses to ionizing radiation and radiation sensitivity syndromes. This project involves identifying differences in molecular responses of normal tissues to the effects of ionizing radiation. The hope is to identify genes that can be used to distinguish people who are more or less likely to have particular late effects following radiation exposure. Her lab is an investigator on a related project with Dr. Jeri Logemann to identify people at risk for swallowing problems following head and neck cancer radiotherapy.

The Corsair Gaming K65 RGB is a compact high-performance mechanical gaming keyboard for travelling gamers or anybody who wants more room to move their mouse more freely.
sku: CH-9000072-NA
The Corsair Gaming K65 RGB is a compact high-performance mechanical gaming keyboard for travelling gamers or anybody who wants more room to move their mouse more freely.
The Corsair Gaming K65 RGB is a compact high-performance mechanical gaming keyboard for travelling gamers or anybody who wants more room to move their mouse more freely. The full-size key spacing won't throw you off your game, and the Cherry MX RGB key switches and 100% anti-ghosting with full key rollover on USB give you fast, accurate response.
Every one of the keys can be assigned a unique backlighting color. This gives you opportunities for key binding that you've never seen before in a mechanical keyboard.
Cherry MX Red key switches deliver smooth, linear key response with a wide actuation zone. They have the responsiveness you need for perfectly executing double and triple taps, and there's no audible click or tactile "bump."
Unless you're spending hours a day entering numbers into spreadsheets, you'll appreciate the extra space you get. The shorter dimensions make it fit more easily into backpacks and messenger bags, and when it's at your desk, you'll have more flexibility in placing your mouse mat and moving your mouse.
You get impressive looks, light weight, and the rugged durability you need for a keyboard that's going to see a lot of action.
Every keystroke translates into accurate gameplay—even when multiple keys are pressed. There's no signal degradation, and it keeps up with you, no matter how fast you play.
Give your wrists a break, or remove it if it gets in the way.
Just one more reason why the K65 RGB is one of the most advanced gaming keyboards the world has ever seen – you can set up any key to trigger a macro. The all-new Corsair Utility Engine (CUE) makes it easy. FPS, MOBA, or even Minecraft… the K65 RGB has it covered.
The K65 RGB uses a Panasonic display controller for an amazing multicolor light show in a pulsing, waving and cascading array.
Do you take your gaming to go? Built-in storage lets you set it up once, and take it anywhere.
You don't just play games – you play music and video, too. Play, stop, pause, skip tracks and adjust volume directly from the K65 RGB.
The K65 RGB can have each key assigned its own unique backlighting color and intensity for virtually unlimited customization. When the action is fast and furious, microseconds count, and multicolor key bindings can put you in control of your game like never before. The intuitive and powerful Corsair Utility Engine (CUE) software makes it easy to set up sophisticated animated macros and lighting effects for a visually amazing experience.
Change any key on the keyboard to a color and brightness setting of your choice. You can create, save, and load custom patterns for your favorite games.
Cycle through multiple colors with your choice of speed and color palettes. You can set either the whole keyboard to scroll, or just the keys you want.
Customize the color palette, direction, duration, and velocity, and have the wave flow across the entire keyboard, or just the keys you want.
Set up single-key reactive typing, or create a multi-key ripple effect. You can choose single-layer lighting, where keys light up as you type, or multi-layer, and have the keys change color.
You will find download links for the software in multiple locations on our webpage but the most reliable location is: corsair.com/downloads and selecting "Gaming Keyboards" from the droplist.)
There is no separate file for the firmware update as you will update any applicable firmware for your keyboard through the Software under Settings -> Update.
A profile represents the overall preferences you have created for your keyboard for both macros and lighting. A profile is also what is saved to the keyboard that contains a list of your modes, actions, and lighting you assigned to your key(s). One of the most important features of your profile is the ability to assign it to a specific program (by the .exe file). This means that if you create different profiles that contain separate actions and lighting setups for different programs, your profile will change automatically based on the application detected on the foreground.
A mode is different lighting and action setups within the same profile. This allows you to keep a single profile for a certain application, but allow you to create different setups depending on the mode you configured without having to change the profile. For example, if your profile was designed for the game Battlefield 4, you can have different modes configured for different classes in the game (Soldier, Medic, Sniper, etc.) under the same BF4 profile. Our software will allow you to change to different modes with a button assignment without having the need to change the profile (which ideally should be linked to an application).
To assign a button on the K70 to switch profiles or modes, simply go to PROFILES -> ASSIGNMENTS and right click any of the keys to configure Profile or Mode Select.
For USB 3.0:Use one connector (the one with the keyboard icon) when connecting via USB 3.0
Connecting via USB 2.0Use both connectors when using USB 2.0. Plug in the connector with the two arrows icon first, and the connector with the keyboard icon second.
The BIOS switch both adjusts the polling rate and allows you to turn off advanced keyboard features for compatibility with certain legacy motherboards. Settings of 1, 2, 4, and 8 are millisecond polling rates (1ms = 1000hz). Switching to BIOS reduces the polling rate and turns off other features for maximum compatibility. By default we ship at 1ms (1000Hz) and most gamers will prefer to just use the setting.
Yes, simply export your profile and send the .PRF file to the other user. You can also import/export ACTIONS with a .ACT file and import/export LIGHTING with a .LGHT file in the situation that you don't want to share your complete profile. Here is our community forum to download and share profiles:
Unfortunately, due to the firmware and hardware differences with the new RGB peripherals, the new Corsair Utility Engine is not compatible with the older products that use the Vengeance Gaming software.
Type Lighting will work with both Foreground and Background Lighting simultaneously upon key press.
The keyboard with its multiple layers of lighting is capable of applying one lighting layer over another. If you see some keys that are darker or lighter than others, ensure that you did not configure two colors over the same keys through different groups.
Every key on the keyboard except the volume scroll wheel is assignable with an action of your choosing. Each and every individual key can also be customized to be any color you like (up to 16.8 million options) in addition to an action being assigned.
Background Lighting refers to the keyboard's LED colors at a static state (when nothing is happening to the keyboard or if the keyboard is idle). This lighting is what you are accustomed to when purchasing a normal LED backlit keyboard as the LED simply stays on with no animation or pattern being played.
Foreground Lighting refers to the animation you have configured that plays on top of the Background Lighting. This is the lighting pattern you configured as SOLID, GRADIENT, RIPPLE, or WAVE that will either play automatically upon key press, an action, or from mode being selected.
The Vengeance K70 RGB is designed to offer multiple layers of lighting so users like yourself can configure complex lighting sequences that work together with Background, Foreground, and Type Lighting configurations. You can have all four (4) animations of SOLID, GRADIENT, RIPPLE, and WAVE exist on top of one another to create complex and unique patterns. The only limit is your imagination.
Rollover refers to the number of simultaneous key presses that will register to the system. If a keyboard has 6-Key Rollover, that means the maximum of keys that can be pressed together and display properly is six (6).
Our Corsair Vengeance K70 RGB can detect up to 104-keys which means that if you simultaneously pressed every standard key on our keyboard. All 104 keys will be registered correctly. This is important in games where improper detection of keystrokes can make the difference between victory and defeat.
After you select your new profile, click on the box next to the pulldown menu and select "Set as Default Profile."
The scroll lock, caps lock, and num lock will all flash to signal you have set the keyboard to BIOS mode. The notification is to remind you that you're in BIOS mode (104 Key Mode, Media Keys, Windows Key, and Software Functions are disabled).
First, you must install the CUE software. Then bring it up and go to SETTINGS and click on the DEVICE tab.
Click Update Firmware and then click the link in the pop-up window:
Save the .zip somewhere on your PC for easy access and then click open.
Proceed to click Update and let the software proceed with the firmware update. You will notice the keyboard power down and power up as it reboots internally. If the keyboard is not detected after the firmware update, we recommend restarting the PC and bringing the software back up.
Yes. This means you will not be able to customize any lighting effects or assign any type of action to the keys. The firmware will also need to be updated on the keyboard as well.
You can download the full manual as a PDF here.

And so it begins! It's day one of our fourth annual March Madness tournament, and this year is a battle for nostalgic supremacy: 80s versus 90s. Gameplay begins today with the top and bottom seeds facing off for a shot at the next round. It's David and Goliath in jelly shoes and leg warmers.
In the 80s conference, we have the cultural oddity that is New Coke, ranked 16th, up against top 80s seed Cocaine. What would Patrick Bateman do? (Both. Trick question.)
Meanwhile, over in the 90s stadium we have No. 16 seed Saddam Hussein challenging top-ranked East Coast vs. West Coast Rap. Both wars had casualties, but only one had hit singles.
Voting will remain open for the next 24 hours. GAME ON.

Facebook supports Cispa cyber-security bill
Facebook says it is backing a new cyber-security bill due before US Congress later this month.
The HR 3523 Act would enable the government to access web users' private data on suspicion of a cyber threat.
The act, dubbed the Cyber Intelligence Sharing and Protection Act (Cispa) , would also allow easier information-sharing between security agencies and private web firms.
Advocacy groups claim that it is aimed at file sharers rather than hackers.
First introduced on 30 November last year, the proposed law - which is due before Congress on 23 April - has been criticised by advocates of internet privacy and neutrality.
Facebook, AT&T, Intel, Verizon, and Microsoft are among some 800 firms who have reacted positively to the bill.
In a blog post , Facebook's vice-president of US public policy, Joel Kaplan, said Facebook would continue to safeguard personal information of its 845 million-plus users.
Cispa "would make it easier for Facebook and other companies to receive critical-threat data from the US government", stated Mr Kaplan.
"Importantly, HR 3523 would impose no new obligations on us to share data with anyone - and ensures that if we do share data about specific cyber threats, we are able to continue to safeguard our users' private information, just as we do today."
Privacy concerns
Organisations such as the Electronic Frontier Foundation, the American Civil Liberties Union, the Sunlight Foundation and Avaaz.org have all voiced their concerns about the extent to which the government would be able to monitor private information.
The Sunlight Foundation's John Wonderlich wrote in a blog post that Cispa "is terrible on transparency" and that the shared personal data between firms and the government would be exempt from the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA).
"Information that shouldn't be shared is already protected by law, through largely uncontroversial exemptions," wrote Mr Wonderlich.
"The FOIA is, in many ways, the fundamental safeguard for public oversight of government's activities. Cispa dismisses it entirely, for the core activities of the newly proposed powers under the bill."
The Electronic Frontier Foundation said in a statement on its website that the language used in the act was too vague.
"The broad language around what constitutes a cyber-security threat leaves the door wide open for abuse," stated the organisation.
"For example, the bill defines 'cyber threat intelligence' and 'cyber-security purpose' to include 'theft or misappropriation of private or government information, intellectual property, or personally identifiable information.'
"It's a little piece of Sopa [the Stop Online Piracy Act] wrapped up in a bill that's supposedly designed to facilitate detection of and defence against cyber-security threats. The language is so vague that an ISP could use it to monitor communications of subscribers for potential infringement of intellectual property."
Sopa, along with the Protect Intellectual Property Act (Pipa), are two other bills being considered by members of the US Congress.

Before "Twilight's" Bella and before "True Blood's" Sookie, one woman reigned over the fang-toothed creatures of the night: Buffy the Vampire Slayer.
Sarah Michelle Gellar became a teen queen thanks to the hit TV series "Buffy the Vampire Slayer," which took the small screen by storm between 1997 and 2003. She returns to TV tonight with the thriller "Ringer," in which she plays a woman on the run who takes on the identity of her twin sister after the sister mysteriously disappears.
Speaking of disappearing -- while some of the cast of "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" failed to transition from the drama into bigger and better Hollywood projects, others, like Gellar, have stood the test of time. Below, check out what Gellar and four of her "Buffy" co-stars have done since the show went off the air:
Sarah Michelle Gellar
As Buffy, Gellar fought to rid the fictional town of Sunnydale, Calif., of its supernatural annoyances. She won six teen choice awards for that role and scored a Golden Globe nomination. Gellar co-starred in a few popular movies during her "Buffy" reign, including "I Know What You Did Last Summer" (where she met her future husband, Freddie Prinze Jr., whom she married in 2002) and "Cruel Intentions."
Gellar's movie career floundered for much of the '00s. While her 2004 horror movie "The Grudge" was a box office success, its sequel flopped. At 34, she's thrilled to be returning to TV, and her real life role of taking care of her 2-year-old daughter has kept her in shape to kick butt on camera again.
"I just chase my toddler," she told "Access Hollywood" about staying fit. "That pretty much keeps me on my toes and puts me to bed by 8:30!"
David Boreanaz
Playing Angel, Buffy's forbidden vampire lover, David Boreanaz captured the hearts of teenage fans the world over. After two years on "Buffy," he starred in the spin-off "Angel," which ran from 1999 until 2004. Soon after his professional associations with the underworld ended, Boreanaz, now 42, found a new character on "Bones," in which he plays Special Agent Seeley Booth.
While his career has sailed smoothly, his personal life hasn't fared quite as well. Last May, he admitted that he cheated on his wife, Playboy Playmate Jaime Bergman, multiple times, including with Rachel Uchitel, one of the women linked to Tiger Woods' extramarital affairs. Boreanaz and Bergman still remain together with their two children.
Alyson Hannigan
Every vampire slayer needs a partner in crime, and Alyson Hannigan played Gellar's as Willow, "Buffy's" shy nerd turned magic maven. In 1999, Hannigan scored the role she's probably best known for apart from "Buffy" -- playing band geek Michelle Flaherty in the "American Pie" series of movies. (For people of a certain age, "This one time, at band camp" remains a beloved catchphrase.)
In 2005, Hannigan, now 37, returned to TV with "How I Met Your Mother." Her personal life is as constant as her presence in Hollywood -- she married actor Alexis Denisof in 2003 (who has also appeared on "Buffy," "Angel" and "How I Met Your Mother"). Together, they have a 2-year-old daughter.
Seth Green
Seth Green's "Buffy" alter-ego was Oz, Willow's guitar-playing/werewolf boyfriend. That role was the start of a successful Hollywood career. Green, now 37, has had a number of memorable roles, including Dr. Evil's son in the "Austin Powers" movies, the dork in "Can't Hardly Wait," the voice of Chris Griffin on "Family Guy" and himself on "Entourage."
He also serves as the co-creator and producer of the TV comedy series "Robot Chicken." Last year, he married actress Clare Grant.
Michelle Trachtenberg
Fun fact: Vampire slaying is genetic. It made sense, then, to introduce Michelle Trachtenberg as Dawn, Buffy's little sister, in season five of the series. Along with her role on "Buffy," Trachtenberg built her career by starring in teen-centric movies like "Ice Princess" and "17 Again."
More recently, she's indulged in the manipulative (sometimes psychotic) Georgina Sparks, the scheming outsider on TV's "Gossip Girl." In real life, the 25-year-old Trachtenberg is a fixture of young Hollywood, and can often be caught party hopping with her co-stars Blake Lively and Leighton Meester.

The rover science team reported several weeks ago that they had a discovery for the history books. Reportedly after confirming through additional and re-testing of the samples they would announce their findings at the beginning of the year.
well here it is 2013 and not a word. I look at the NASA website daily for any news.
this is absolutely the most boring 2.5 billion dollar mission. No amazing photos no Mars shattering revelations.

Salmon (Sake, Ikura) – Alaska
Salmon caught from Alaska will be one of five species: Pink, Sockeye, Chum, Coho and Chinook (King) Salmon.
Abundance of salmon, particularly Pink and Sockeye, is high in Alaska due to good management and healthy habitat.
The majority of salmon is caught with purse seines, followed by gillnets and troll gear. These fishing methods cause little habitat damage and result in moderate levels of bycatch, typically other fish.

Public can't scrutinize what agency did, or didn't do, to protect children who died
There is little known about the 31 Tennessee children who died in the first six months of this year after the Department of Children's Services got involved in their cases.
The dead included 23 babies, four toddlers, one 5-year-old and three teenagers.
They died after suffering broken bones, drug exposure, asphyxia and drowning. One 2-year-old boy died in a Lincoln County home fire. A Lauderdale County newborn was drowned in a toilet. Some deaths remain unexplained.
The Department of Children's Services continues to withhold details about the children's lives and deaths and what steps the state's $650 million child protection agency took — or did not take — to protect them.
DCS' unwillingness to open the agency's work to public scrutiny stands in contrast to a growing movement across the nation to increase accountability and transparency in child welfare agencies. It's a movement that child welfare experts have pushed in recent years to prevent future tragedies.
"The goal should be to get sufficient information to be able to evaluate whether appropriate actions were taken to protect children," said Noy Davis, a legal consultant for Washington, D.C.-based First Star, which advocates for abused and neglected children.
"The public needs to know what prior involvement the agency had with the family and was it handled properly and can anything be fixed so this doesn't happen again."
The state has denied multiple requests from The Tennessean to review the files involving child fatalities. The department said it had to weigh competing interests.
"The disclosure process for fatalities and near fatalities requires sensitivity and balance," DCS General Counsel Douglas Dimond wrote in response to the newspaper's request. "A child and family's right to privacy must be balanced against the public's right to know."
The Tennessean and its counsel sent a letter to DCS last week calling its disclosures "woefully inadequate" and asking the agency to make records public by Dec. 18.
States grant access
Dimond, the DCS attorney, cited federal policy and said agencies that receive federal funding to prevent child abuse are not authorized to release records involving children — even if they're dead.
But a review of other states shows multiple examples of officials routinely granting public access to case files and detailed timelines of case manager calls, visits and investigations relating to child deaths.
In Arkansas, officials cited the same federal policy as the reason it would increase public access to information about child deaths. That state began putting detailed information about child deaths online in a searchable public database.
In Colorado, the public can access routine fatality reviews that discuss whether department policies or state laws were violated by caseworkers.
In Oklahoma, child welfare officials release detailed information about their investigations that include a chronology of each previous report made to the agency about the child and steps the agency took to respond to those reports.
In Kentucky, where child welfare officials were reluctant to make public such information despite four court orders, a state attorney general's opinion in October noted that "full disclosure is often necessary to prevent such tragedies from occurring," criticizing the agency for "obfuscation."
In some states, the availability of records led to reforms in the state's child welfare system.
Inconsistent information
To date, DCS has provided limited details. Instead of providing the actual case files, the state has provided brief summaries to the newspaper.
The deaths occurred in 25 counties across the state.
Twenty of the children had been reported to the agency within the past three years.
In at least 13 cases, DCS had been alerted to concerns about children within the last six months of their lives.
In some instances, however, the information provided to the newspaper by DCS changed from month to month.
In September, a DCS summary of deaths listed an Anderson County infant who died Feb. 23 of "positional asphyxia."
By October, the summary had changed. DCS listed an Anderson County infant who died Feb. 10. There was no mention of the infant who died on Feb. 23.
On Friday, DCS spokesman Brandon Gee said the two notations were actually for one child, a baby he said died from "unsafe sleeping" in Anderson County on Feb. 10.
The department has conceded in the past that it has made a string of errors in releasing data about child deaths.
When DCS first released information on Sept. 18, it reported that 40 children had died in the first six months of 2012. Two days later, the agency revised that number downward to 31.
At the time, agency attorney Dimond admitted that DCS had been violating a disclosure law requiring the agency to inform lawmakers of each fatality and near fatality.
Oversight questions
In November, the Tennessean requested a smaller sample of child deaths or near deaths.
DCS again declined to make public any portion of the children's files or any record of the agency's interaction with the child. DCS said any of its prior involvement with the children in the sample was "not pertinent."
Tennessean Executive Editor Maria De Varenne called the response "woefully inadequate."
"The State has provided no investigative reports, fatality reviews, or task force reports, among other materials which are covered by The Tennessean's requests," noted a letter to DCS from the newspaper and Tennessean attorney Robb Harvey last week.
The newspaper's letter to DCS asked, "Where is the oversight for DCS' actions, and who is responsible for providing that oversight?"
DCS chief Kate O'Day and Gov. Bill Haslam told The Tennessean editorial board in October that there are multiple layers of independent review of the state agency.
"There's sometimes a sense where you think they have incredibly important work and they're out there operating on their own," Haslam said. "Nothing could be further from the truth if you look at all of the people who are overseeing us in one way or another."
DCS spokeswoman Molly Sudderth said last week that such oversight includes a Child Protective Investigative Team that operates in each county and investigates allegations of child sex abuse and severe child abuse. The team includes law enforcement, DCS and child welfare officials who evaluate whether a case can be prosecuted.
But Brian Holmgren, a Davidson County assistant district attorney who is on Nashville's Child Protective Investigative Team, said the group does not function as an independent assessor of the work of DCS.
He said its focus is on determining whether a child was a victim of abuse or neglect and whether there is enough evidence to prosecute the alleged perpetrator.
In addition, Holmgren said, the team relies solely on the information DCS presents to it and does not have access to a child's complete DCS file.
Holmgren said the team's findings are not public.
Sudderth also said oversight of the agency's work was provided by Child Fatality Review Teams overseen by the state Department of Health.
The teams of local law enforcement, health and child welfare officials operate in each of Tennessee's 31 judicial districts to review each child fatality in their region.
But those reviews do not examine complete DCS files or examine reports made to DCS before a child's death.
That is not their role, said Dr. Michael Warren, director for Family Health and Wellness at the Tennessee Department of Health.
Sudderth cited a last layer of oversight — an internal review by the DCS Office of Child Safety. That review is not made public either.
DCS has not yet responded to The Tennessean's Nov. 28 letter.
A spokesman for Haslam said: "The policy has been reviewed, and the governor and the Attorney General's Office are comfortable with DCS's position."

Another theory... but my most plausible yet...
Sasuke and Naruto will fight...
Sasuke will die and then entrust his eyes to Naruto...
Naruto being from the Uzumaki clan has a blood tie to the Senju...
Senju + Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan becomes Rinnegan under pressure from the 10 tails
Naruto magically learns the 6 paths jutsu, and uses Neji, Sasuke, and the 4 Hokage as his paths...
Removes the 10 Tails chakra and uses it along with the Samsara of Heavenly Life to revive everyone...
Then proceeds to be named Kage of All, leading everyone against Orochimaru (who will never ever die... seriously) after convincing Madara and Obito to play nice...
This is mostly a joke, don't take it too seriously....
Never know though... could happen
Spoiler Alert! Click to show or hide
The creator of naruto, Masashi Kishimoto. Openly stated, towards the public. That his favorite character in naruto, is sasuke. Now, since the character refuses to be killed, in any logic means which should have killed the character. The character of sasuke will most likely be the last character to be killed, if this ever happens. But, from a logic stand point. Both naruto and sasuke are from clans, and are the last remaining ones of there clans. Now, from that stand, writer's stand point in fact. This would not make any sense to kill off a entire clan, unless you are trying to make your reader think this, then make a sudden U-turn and make both clans live, in the end. But, if one clan was 'evil' and did nothing but 'evil' and such. Then the 'evil' clan will be killed, in the last panel V ep. But, all in all. Naruto and sasuke will face each other again, and mattering on the info, which the kages provide him. This will result in the character, sasukes decision about 'Annihilate the leaf village' in short.
The past is the past, don't let it cloud who you are now.
If the writer has courage we might get to see a lot of fans crying ).
memento mori
If I'm honest I feel for Kishimoto... the amount of pressure he must be under to keep things going so well must be immense...
That's a nice theory I think, especially the 6 paths thing. But you forgot to add Naruto marries Hinata, for all those Twilight fans out there. TeamHinata! Nah just kidding
Mr. Stealyogirl aka King Koopa. ;)
Hinata over Sakura definately.... I'm watching the magical 100 or so episodes atm where everything she says makes you want to punch the screen.... [If they're both severely injured... who do I heal first] -.-
Spoiler Alert! Click to show or hide
I'm guessing he will come back and help all his friends defeat those two and then it will end with him and naruto fighting again at the spot they did the first time who knows who will win but it won't be to the death i don't think
This would be great if it happened. It seems improbable, but it would be "just like a fairy tale."
Queen of Support
Ha, probably not.
Remember how he killed off Gaara in one of the first 30 episodes? A huge number of Gaara fans threatened to kill the writer himself if he does not bring Gaara back.
That said, I stopped watching the show ever since Gaara got revived.
Naruto is not ending after the war, I highly doubt he would beef Naruto up so much when he has much more he wants to tell. Well... I guess it could happen. Never know with the big 3.
If God existed B Gata H Kei S2 would be in the works.
I'm feelin this theory!!
Dilly Bisket!
And then the manga ends long before Orochimaru's inevitable victory.
Naruto isn't the last uzamaki. There is Karen.
Nagato and Karen both have the red hair.
Mass suicide ).
memento mori
Neji dies
The ordinary raised to extraordinary

Wrapping Friday (we're happy when it rains)
Many of us here at Polecat HQ remember as children not wanting to go outside to play in the rain.
"You're not going to melt," our mothers admonished us, encouraging us to get out of the house so that they could have a few moments of peace.
Our moms were right — we didn't melt. We'd splash in puddles. We'd get muddy. We'd watch 2.4 million worms emerge from the soil.
Football was played in the rain back then. It was a sport that was played in bad weather, unlike that "other" sport, bases balls. It was a sport where the elements could have as much impact as a star running back.
Heck, Bill Mignault was all too pleased to play in the rain. His Ledyard teams were always tough mudders.
Nowadays, when it rains, the games must be postponed. You can't send the kids out in the rain. No-no.
It's gotten so bad that programs with turf will pack it in and reschedule.
Look, everyone here at Polecat HQ understands why more schools aren't willing to hold games in the rain. They don't want to deal with the costs of the field getting ripped up. They don't want to lose a good gate because fans don't want to get wet (sissies — where's that hearty attitude that this country was founded upon?)
All that written, we ask this of state schools everywhere — play one game a year in the rain. Football requires toughness; so let the players run and slide around in the muck. It'll make for an experience they'll remember 40 years later.
Friday's RAIN-MAGEDDON screwed up the Week 6 schedule with games being moved ahead to Thursday, or back to Saturday.
Windsor and Middletown were two teams that weren't afraid to play in the rain, and they put on a game that was worth the hype. Windsor, ranked fourth in The Day of New London's Top 10 state coaches' poll, rallied back four times to beat the Blue Dragons, 40-35.
Wolcott played in the fog and went medieval on Derby, winning 41-7. Quarterback Mike Nicol ran nine times for 226 yards and four touchdowns for the Eagles (6-0). Ansonia is the only other team that has beaten the Red Raiders (48-6).
New Fairfield kept itself afloat in the CIAC Class M race by battering previously unbeaten Weston, 42-21. Joe Pacheco ran 28 times for 238 yards and four touchdowns for the Rebels (4-2).
(Memo to Ledyard, Montville and New London fans — pay attention to the likes of Barlow of Redding, Berlin, Hillhouse, New Fairfield, St. Joseph of Trumbull and Wolcott. They're all Class M programs like yours.)
Finally, Wilby of Waterbury survived a frenzied St. Paul of Bristol comeback and won, 52-50.
Wilby led, 46-20, with over 10 minutes left in the game.
The Falcons proceeded to score 30 points in under six minutes.
Twice St. Paul recovered an onside kick and scored.
Kyle Brennan of the Waterbury Republican American, The NVL Blog, WATR, and in-between jobs, quite possibly your mailman, reported that the two teams combined for 14 touchdowns, 102 points and 950 yards of offense.
Whoever the defensive coordinators are for those two teams, they're going to take a hammer to the game DVD.
Here is a quick overview of how the Top 10 teams fared (or didn't):
1. Hand of Madison plays host to No. 7 West Haven today, 1 p.m. YOU WILL be there this afternoon.
2. Ansonia beat Watertown Thursday, 49-21. Mark Jaffee of the Waterbury Republican-American's reporting.
3. Staples of Westport beat Trumbull, 57-14. Bob Birge of The Hour of Norwalk and Doug Bonjour of Hearst Inc. both reporting.
4. Windsor beat Middletown, 40-35. Jim Bransfield of the Middletown Press and the Hartford Courant's Tom Yantz reporting.
5. Xavier beat Amity of Woodbridge Thursday, 52-17. The Middletown Press provided a blurb on the game.
6. Masuk plays at Brookfield tonight, 7 p.m.
8. Glastonbury plays Southington tonight at Meriden's Falcon Field, 7 p.m. YOU WILL be there tonight.
9. Greenwich plays host to Bridgeport Central today, 2 p.m.
10. Berlin beat Rockville of Vernon, 47-0. Chris McLaughlin of the New Britain Herald reporting.
Make sure to take some time out for football today. Be true to your school and show some civic pride.
Now please play us out, Shirley Manson and friends.
Vaya con dios....

NBC bets big on English Premier League soccer
British sports announcer Arlo White remembers visiting relatives in Chicago more than two decades ago and flipping through a seemingly endless array of television channels.
"I was somewhere in the 300s, I think, on cable TV, and suddenly I saw a 17-year-old Ryan Giggs thrashing in a volley from Manchester United against West Ham United," he said this week. "And I was overjoyed that I managed to find this little snippet of English football action."
Starting Saturday, White will call NBC's $250 million experiment that tests how many Americans now find joy in a glimpse of Premier League soccer – and how many more will latch on with the games no longer buried in the hinterlands of the channel lineup.
"It's so ironic that 22 years later there's every chance that I'll be commenting on Manchester United and a team containing a 39-year-old Ryan Giggs and providing that as part of this unprecedented amount of coverage to the American market," White, the network's lead play-by-play voice, said on a conference call. "Is it a tipping point? We'll have to wait and see.
"I just know that there is a huge amount of following of the game in the United States. And even if you're the fifth or sixth or seventh most popular sport in a country of 350 million people, you're still very viable."
As part of its three-year contract, NBC Sports Group will broadcast all 380 games from the Premier League this season in some form – more than what's even available in the United Kingdom. The main U.S. outlet for the EPL will shift from Fox Soccer to NBC Sports Network, doubling the number of homes in which those games are available.
Under the EPL's previous three-year deal with Fox, which was worth about $80 million, some matches were sublicensed to ESPN.
Games on ESPN and ESPN2 last season averaged 208,000 households. For NBC Sports Network – which was averaging 273,000 homes in prime time for this year through late July, according to Nielsen – it's a chance to add live sports on weekend mornings and weekday afternoons.
But the company's investment is as much a bet on how viewership can grow in a fertile environment as on the sport's prior popularity. That means a big advertising and marketing push – including the spot starring former "Saturday Night Live" star Jason Sudeikis, spoofing the American football-European football divide, that has more than 4 million YouTube views.
The idea is that airing more games and making them easier to find will mine a previously untapped audience whose interest is already piqued.
"There's just so much conversation," said Jon Miller, the president of programming for NBC Sports. "It almost is to the point where they say, `I've got to check this out. I've got to find out what the big deal is here."'
Beyond the games on NBC, NBCSN and the company's other networks, matches will be streamed online and televised in the Premier League Extra Time package. That service allows many cable and satellite subscribers who receive NBCSN to watch every game for free.
NBC could have charged for the package, which is common for other sports. But in the pursuit of new viewers, the wide variety of choices is valuable.
NBC likes the EPL for the affluent, educated demographics of the fan base, and those people are juggling multiple devices as they watch sports.
"In the past, we would put it out there and say, `You have to watch what we put on the air,"' Miller said. "It's no longer that way. We are at the mercy of the viewer."
And for customers who are considering going without cable or satellite service, the package may be enticement to subscribe.
"That for us was a very important part of our model and part of our equation," Miller said. "So did we leave money on the table? It remains to be seen."
NBC will emphasize the fierceness of the rivalries in English soccer, a focus that proved popular during the recent lockout-shortened NHL season.
"The top flight of English soccer seems to have romanticism about it," said White, who previously called Major League Soccer games. "It's where football was invented. It's where the concepts of having league competitive soccer was introduced in the 1880s. And I think clubs like Manchester United, like Liverpool, like Arsenal and more recently perhaps Manchester City and Chelsea, they resonate throughout the world."
