FROSTBURG, Md. (October 12, 2013) – The Utica College football team broke nine different single game records, and snapped a two game slide, as the Pioneers topped host Frostburg State 44-27 in Empire 8 Conference action at Bobcat Stadium Saturday afternoon. Senior running back Jake Larson (Bemus Point, NY/Maple Grove) broke the school-record for touchdowns scored in a single game after turning in a five touchdown performance on 32 carries and 122 yards on the ground. Larson also became the College's all-time leader with 20 career rushing touchdowns.
Utica trailed 27-25 headed into the fourth quarter of play, but the Pioneers outscored host Frostburg 19-0 in the final 15 minutes of action to improve their record to 3-2 overall and 1-1 in the Empire 8.
"I am extremely proud of the way our guys handled adversity today," said Head Coach Blaise Faggiano. "We bounced back when we needed to. Not only did a few individuals really step up, but it was also a great all-around team effort. This is not an easy road trip and we are excited to come away with a victory against a good Frostburg team."
Junior quarterback Connor Butkiewicz (Southington, CT/Southington) set a new single game school record with 431 yards passing as he completed 31 of his 36 passing attempts. Over half of his passing yards went to junior receiver Anthony Acevedo (New Hartford, NY/New Hartford), who set the new school standard with 252 yards receiving on ten receptions. The Pioneer defense also tied a team record with three fumbles recovered.
The first half resulted in three lead changes, with the Pioneers coming out on top 18-14 at the end of 30 minutes of action. Frostburg, led by four rushing scores from Mike Fourth, outscored UC 13-7 in the third quarter to take a 27-25 advantage in the fourth and final frame.
It was two rushing touchdowns by Larson and a 19 yard TD pass from Butkiewicz to Acevedo in the fourth quarter that helped lift UC to the 17 point victory.
Acevedo scored the first touchdown of the game with 5:44 to go in the first quarter when he and Butkiewicz connected on a 68 yard bomb to put the Pioneers on top 6-0 early.
Frostburg answered with two straight scores from Mike Fourth to take a 14-6 lead with 11:55 to go in the first half of play. Larson was able to help the Pioneers respond by plunging in two short yardage touchdowns in a span of less than seven minutes in the second quarter to give UC the four point lead at half, 18-14.
UC senior wide receiver Jamie Murphy (Canadaigua, NY/Marcus Whitman) caught ten balls for 61 yards and Gregory Palmer (Richland, NY/APW) hauled in two catches for 63 yards for the Pioneers.
Utica's 573 total yards of offense ranks third on the school's all-time single game list.
Senior linebackers Joe Giametta (Seaford, NY/MacArthur), Ryan Hansen (Woodcliff Lake, NJ/Pascack Hills), and Dana Christofferson (Richford, NY/Dryden) all had excellent games for UC. Giametta led all tacklers with 13 and he also forced a fumble, recovered a fumble, and broke up a pass. Hansen tallied 12 tackles and forced one fumble, while Christofferson made 11 stops and intercepted a pass in the fourth quarter. Anthony Cipoletti (Dix Hills, NY/Half Hollow Hills West) made nine stops, including 2.5 for a loss.
The UC defense was staunch in the fourth quarter, forcing three punts and intercepting a pass to hold the Bobcats scoreless in the 15 minute stretch.
Frostburg (1-4, 0-2 Empire 8) did most of its offensive damage on the ground as it racked up 228 yards rushing on the afternoon. Fourth led the way with 108 yards rushing on 30 carries and he found the end zone four times. Quarterback Ken Emmons also added 91 yards rushing on 14 carries while completing 10-of-18 passes for 126 yards.
Mike Sullivan (Whitesboro, NY/Whitesboro) and Nick Woodman (Utica, NY/Proctor) each added eight tackles a piece for the Pioneers' defensive unit.
The Pioneers return home on Saturday for the College's Homecoming when they will take on E8 rival Ithaca College at Charles A. Gaetano Stadium. The contest is scheduled to begin at 1 p.m.
Quick Hitters: UC set a new team single game record by completing 83.8% of its passes … 86 all-purpose attempts is a new school-record … 30 points scored for Jake Larson (Bemus Point, NY/Maple Grove) is a new single game record at UC … 32 carries for Larson also ranks second all-time at UC for a single game … Three forced fumbles in a single game is tied for second all-time at Utica … Larson passed Jake Scott (17 rushing TD's) and is now the school-record holder with 20 career touchdown runs … Connor Butkiewicz (Southington, CT/Southington) is currently the school's all-time leader in pass completion percentage (67.0%) … Anthony Acevedo (New Hartford, NY/New Hartford) moved into second place on the College's all-time receiving yards list, passing Cody Elliot '09 … Acevedo now has 2,154 career receiving yards … Acevedo moved into sole possession of second place on the College's career receiving touchdowns list, he now has 15, surpassing James Proniewych '07 … Acevedo and Jamie Murphy (Canadaigua, NY/Marcus Whitman) rank first and second all-time at UC with 6.73 and 5.08 career receptions per game, respectively … Larson and Acevedo became the fifth and sixth players in school-history to join the 100+ career points scored club … Larson currently ranks second all-time with 120 career point scored … Acevedo ranks fourth all-time with 106 career points scored … Dana Christofferson (Richford, NY/Dryden) is now tied for seventh place all time with Travis Ladd '10 with 106 career assisted tackles.

I recently wrote about Skill and Conditioning. In that post, I stated:
It is important to hone your skills. It is also important to condition your body to provide the best vehicle possible for the expression of such skills. The two go hand in hand.
You do not want to be a Karate brute. Instead, you want to be a cultured gentleman (or lady), skilled in both the physical and the mind.
Please do not get me wrong. I am not saying that you should not be in great shape. You should. It is just that you should also be in great mental shape.
For young students, I would urge them to try to get the best education possible. Ideally, a student should strive to obtain a college degree. I urge my own children to strive for a graduate degree as well.
I know that this is not always possible, but it is a good goal to work toward. If Karate training helps a student to be determined, it should also give him the determination and drive to pursue higher education. In addition, a good education could help the student to obtain a job that will enable him to further pursue his Karate training throughout his life.

This year I think we'll break our
I found the Addiction Bistro while I was reporting a story (to be published Saturday in The Times) about the still-growing gluten-free world. And this cafe caters to people who don't eat gluten.
Also in the course of my reporting, we stopped eating gluten at home for a while. And my husband discovered that he feels a lot better (less sneezing, less congestion) when he avoids gluten, which is found mostly in wheat.
The two owners, Rick Foster and Johnny Kovin, also figured out by chance that they were sensitive to gluten, and a business plan was born -- designed "so people like us can feel good and not get sick." (There are gluten versions available in the cafe, too.)
They started out as Chili Addiction, and sold food at farmers markets and took awards at the Malibu Chili Cookoff. They changed to the current name last year.
Kovin is the chef and makes much of the food in-house, including mustards and ketchups, sausages and ice cream. He also makes pickles and sauerkraut. He makes his own non-gluten flour mixes for fried chicken, cupcakes and other foods. There's no wheat flour in the kitchen to prevent cross-contamination, Foster says.
Some people call the yellow mustard German caviar, Kovin says, because of the way the seeds pop in your mouth. It's a clean, delicious taste. And the ketchup tastes like tomatoes. The cafe sells the condiments in bottles and the chili and ice cream from the freezer case.
Kovin took advantage of his German-Italian heritage; in fact, he's the descendant of Bavarian sausage makers, he said. From the time he was a boy, he cooked, ate in restaurants, and his mother would quiz him about the ingredients in foods he tasted.
Among the sausages, there is weisswurst, Italian, currywurst, and chipotle and cheddar. There also are vegan hot dogs and hamburgers.
The cafe is small and cozy with red walls. Foster says they're getting a wine and beer license soon, and they'll stock gluten-free beers.

Justin Rose won the U.S. Open title for England on Sunday and broke Phil Mickelson's heart into the bargain, but the story for Irish golf fans, once again, centered on the enigma that is Rory McIlroy.
Not for the first time this season, McIlroy found himself in trouble with the golfing authorities and the headline writers in what proved to be a disappointing tournament for the Irish.
Graeme McDowell, champion in 2010, and former British Open winner Darren Clarke spent the weekend with their feet up after missing the cut, while Padraig Harrington should have done better than his tied 21st finish.
Amateur Kevin Phelan, a youngster from Waterford now studying in the U.S., did himself proud by making the cut and finishing tied for 62nd in his second U.S. Open appearance.
For many, though, the story of the weekend was McIlroy's latest fall from grace.
Not alone did the world number two finish on 14 over par after a fourth round 76, to tie for 41st, he was also caught on camera throwing a club away in disgust at one hole, then bending his nine iron so badly after a poor tee shot at the 11th that he couldn't use it for the rest of the round.
The club throw came on the fifth hole at Merion, and he then destroyed his nine iron after putting a second ball into the creek on the 11th.
Just 14 months after his record breaking U.S. PGA triumph, McIlroy is in the horrors after splitting with his manager Conor Ridge and failing to adapt to his new Nike clubs despite the comforts of a $150 million deal with the sportswear giants.
He is also the subject of a court case from the Oakley company which is claiming millions of dollars in losses after his switch to Nike.
The player himself knows all is not well at the minute, and he did try to make excuses after his poor U.S. Open finish.
On Sunday evening he said, "I sound like a broken record. But I don't feel like my game is that far away. It's a matter of trying to let it click into place."
Asked about the nine iron situation at the 11th, he replied, "I just hit a bad tee shot into the creek there, and what you don't want to do as a golfer is follow one mistake with another, and that's what I did. And obviously I got a bit frustrated there.
"It's a hole that you want to try to take advantage of. It's a hole that you want to at least give yourself a birdie chance and you walk off with a quad and it's not very good.
"I think that's what this tournament does to you. At one point or another it's got the better of you, and it definitely did this weekend."
Significantly, McIlroy did admit he is finding it hard to adjust to his new Nike clubs after years with Titleist.
"It's definitely a different feeling," he said. "The thing about new equipment is you can stand on the range all you want and hit balls, but you really need to test it on the course.
"The numbers could be great on the computer, but you need to get out and test it in competitive play and that's something I didn't do at the start of the year. I only played twice by the end of February, so I sort of needed to play a little bit more.
"If I was to do it all over again, I would have done things slightly differently. It's hopefully something I'll never have to do in my career again."
In other golf news, Ulsterman Simon Thornton claimed his first win on the European Tour as he beat Tjaart van der Walt on the first playoff hole at the St. Omer Open in France on Sunday.

JERUSALEM, Israel – Current UCSB swimmer Naomi Javanifard and Gaucho alum Jason Lezak proved to be great representation of the United States and UCSB during the Maccabiah Games swim competition that ran Sunday through Wednesday in Israel. Lezak won four gold medals and Javanifard brought home three silvers.
Sometimes referred to the "Jewish Olympics", the Maccabiah Games are held every four years in Israel attracting the most outstanding Jewish athletes from around the world. In addition to competing in the games, Javanifard and Lezak participated in a Pre Camp, which included a tour of Israel.
Javanifard opened the meet on Sunday with a silver-medal performance in the 100-meter freestyle, touching the wall in 58.23. The next day, she went 1:00.96 in the 100 butterfly, once again taking second. She took fourth-place in the 100-meter backstroke (1:05.88) before picking up another silver medal in the 50 free (26.85) on Wednesday.
Lezak captured individual gold in the 50 and 100-meter free events. In the 50 he went 22.19 and in the 100 he posted the fastest time by an American this year, touching the wall in 47.78. Lezak also helped guide the Americans to gold in the 400 free relay (3:21.17) and the 400 medley relay (3:43.07).

Silhouettes In Under 30 Minutes
We've come across tutorials for making your own silhouette portraits before, but this one may be the quickest and easiest. And that means we're most likely to try it! Emily made them of her family and walks you through it in about five simple steps.
You can find her instructions with accompanying photos on her blog The Anderson Family Crew. As she notes, getting a good photo of your child in profile might be the trickiest step (and potentially take you over the 30 minute mark for this project!), so you may need to keep a camera handy for an afternoon and snap it when they're not paying attention. Emily used photo paper, but since you really just need the outline of head and shoulders, it seems to us you could also just print (even in b&w) on cardstock.
Thanks Emily for making diy silhouettes unintimidating and accessible!

Was very pleased with this product:) Got it for my 14 year old granddaughter, along with many Teresa Collins "Chic Bebe Girl Collection", and Bazzill Basics "Fourz Multi-Packs 12 x 12 Pink Paper, and American Crafts "Thickers" Chipboard Letter Stickers-, and a "Sticky Thumb" Adhesive Roller, and a "Zig Writer -for a complete package... to 'text' and compare notes on with her 16 year old girl cousin when she makes herself a Memory Book about herself...so she can add to it in the future, and have one to pass on to her own children later on for posterity:)
This is just what I needed because I had all my pictures set out on colored paper, very decorative, but they would not fit in my Creative Memories album that cost a lot more. This album allows fredom and I like the size.

[GH Preempted from 2:00 PM to 2:02 EST for weather update.] TJ sits down in the limo humiliated as Taylor jokes about Rafe and Molly kissing. Upset by what he just saw, he asks the driver if they can go. Taylor offers him a drink again. He accepts and they start to bash Molly. Taylor thinks she can make him feel better by kissing him. TJ stops her when things heat up. She's sorry about Molly but doesn't think things would have lasted between them. Taylor comes on strong again. He tries to bow out, saying he doesn't have protection. Taylor pulls a condom out of her purse claiming she carries them for special occasions. He rips the package open with his teeth.
I Can't.
Michael is confused after meeting his cousin, Sonny pays Carly a visit, and TJ and Taylor stay out all night.
In the park, Rafe says, "Wow" as Molly smiles when they stop kissing. He embraces the moment as magic, but knows Molly wants to be kissing TJ. She agrees. Rafe hopes the two of them can get back together even though she doesn't think it's possible. She's happy to think TJ and Taylor aren't at prom together. Molly doesn't like Taylor and tells Rafe how she saw her gloating at her in Kelly's the day before. Rafe doesn't want to say good-bye even if it is. He says so long and they part.
At home, Alexis believes it's only a matter of time before the commissioner builds a case against Shawn. He tells her that she's the only one who knows. She reminds him that he's forgetting about Sonny. Shawn asks what makes her think Sonny was involved and reflects on his confrontation with Carly. He wants to know if Alexis is going to turn him in. She can't, but her decision is because of attorney client privilege. Shawn gets angry knowing a part of her wants to turn him in and he reminds her about how she ran down Kiefer. He's done talking and leaves when Molly comes home.
Carly comes home to find Sonny sitting in the dark. She doesn't believe Olivia is dead. He clarifies she isn't dead; he's just there to make it clear that she'll pay if Olivia dies. Carly wants to die for what she did. Sonny's tired of hearing how she wanted to get even. Franco's still alive and they have to worry about him telling someone they're involved in the hit.
In the hospital, Lulu and Dante pray for Olivia to wake up. Dante hopes he never starts thinking like Sonny. He knows Sonny had the means and motive. Lulu suggests others did as well, like Carly and reminds him about the confrontation between her and Sonny. She remembers how scared Carly looked. Dante starts to think Carly might have botched the hit. They notice Sonny standing in the doorway. Lulu leaves and Dante watches Sonny apologize to Olivia. Sonny asks Dante if there is something he wants to ask him. He just wants his mom to get better and for the person who did this to pay.
Lulu stops at Carly's to find out how she's holding up after what Franco did to her family. She asks if she's going crazy knowing that bastard is still alive. Lulu shares her concerns about Dante. Carly thinks Dante needs her, but Lulu knows he needs his mother to wake up and to find the person who did this.
At the Quartermaine's, both Michael and Kiki/Lauren wonder why they haven't told each other they were a Quartermaine. Morgan happily reiterates they are cousins and continues to be pleased at this new development. Michael is having a hard time believing this is happening. Franco knows he has issues but is unable to say what he needs to Kiki/Lauren to make her understand. He looks to Michael for help in explaining what happened and wants it known that he wasn't responsible for the rape. Morgan asks Michael, "What rape?" Michael didn't want him to find out this way; Morgan was young when it happened. Kiki/Lauren can't believe it's her father who is responsible. Michael tells her it's okay. Morgan wants everyone to back up a moment. He wonders how Kiki/Lauren knew about the rape already. Michael and Kiki/Lauren get defensive, which only worries Morgan more. The family leaves Morgan and Kiki/Lauren alone. She doesn't want him to worry about her and Michael. She leaves to get some beers. Franco stops Morgan from following her so they can talk alone. In the foyer, Michael snaps at AJ for not telling him his cousin was called Kiki. He leaves Michael alone for a moment with Kiki. She tells Michael the kiss never happened. AJ joins Franco and Morgan. They all agree no one can blame Carly and Sonny for wanting Franco dead. Morgan catches Michael and is sorry for what happened to him. Michael watches Kiki and Morgan retreat upstairs.

Creating Keepsakes Contributing Editor Becky Higgins announced today via her blog that she has departed the company.
Higgins had been with Creating Keepsakes since almost the very beginning of the magazine in 1996. Her work has appeared in every single issue since the fourth one the magazine published. The "Becky's Sketch" column is easily the longest running and most popular celebrity feature in CK's pages. Higgins, along with Ali Edwards, increasingly became the face of the magazine in recent years to many readers as founder Lisa Bearnson's involvement with it decreased.
Just as significant as her magazine work are the books that Higgins has written under the Creating Keepsakes imprint. She's authored or co-authored a total of nine books for the company, many of which were bestsellers in the industry:
- The Best of Becky Higgins' Sketches (2007)
- Family History Scrapbooking(2006)
- Creative Sketches, Vol. 2 (2005)
- Our Family Scrapbooks
- Creative Sketches for Scrapbooking (2003)
- Creative cards: The complete guide to card making (2002)
- My Creative Companion: The Ultimate Scrapbooking Resource (2001)
- Scrapbooking Secrets: 300 All-New Scrapbook Page Ideas (2001)
- The Art of Creative Lettering: 50 Amazing New Alphabets You Can Make for Scrapbooks, Cards, Invitations, and Signs (1999)
In addition to her writing, Becky Higgins has long been one of Creating Keepsakes' most popular instructors for its CKU and CKC events. She's also traveled overseas to teach at special events.
Creating Keepsakes Editor-In-Chief Jennafer Martin shared with Scrapbook Update the company's feelings about having to move forward without their long-standing star, and invited all Higgins' fans to join them in thanking her for the inspiration she has provided:
Becky Higgins has been a strong creative force for Creating Keepsakes for 12 of our 13 years, and we're incredibly thankful for the countless pages, sketches, fonts and more that she's contributed over the years that have helped make Creating Keepsakes so inspiring for readers. While we're sad to see her depart from the magazine as an employee, we wish her the best and look forward to working with her in the future as a contributor. The CK team will be hosting a farewell tribute on our blog at www.creatingkeepsakesblog.com Thursday the 17th, and we invite you to join us in letting Becky know how much her designs have inspired us and how much we wish her well.
Higgins' signature round handwriting (available for free download as a font on her website) and her page sketches have defined what scrapbooking should be for a whole segment of scrapbookers for virtually the entire existence of the modern scrapbook industry. So the big question on everyone's minds is whether she will continue in the industry in another capacity. Without providing any specific plans for future business projects, Higgins did promise in her announcement that she is not quitting scrapbooking and that she will continue blogging.

Pray (US - DVD R1)
Hang onto your hats, Gabe Powers has seen another Japanese horror movie...
Two down-and-out twenty-somethings get the idea to kidnap a little girl and ransom her for cash. The loose-canon male leader, Mitsuru, decides they should hold-up in his old grade school, now left abandoned. No one will look for them there, and the phone reception is great. When his partner and girlfriend Maki makes the ransom call she's told that the girl they kidnapped has been dead for over a year, and with that news, the little girl disappears.
Pray is another in the never-ending line of interchangeable scary ghost-girl, J-horror movies. The protagonists must discover the malevolent ghost's motives and accomplices, and not trust each other, especially when their numbers increase with the arrival of some other friends looking for their part of the score. This particular movie sets itself apart by concerning itself with two seemingly unrelated plots, crammed into its incredibly brief running time. True to the sub-genre, things end rather open ended, but in this case the finale is particularly maddening as it has a lot more explaining to do. Instead of being cryptic it smacks of laziness.
Not that I'm complaining about the brief run time, if anything, Pray has pace. I never found myself bored while watching it, and it moved from one predictable twist to another with the greatest of ease. If I were to compare it to any other genre it'd have to be the made-for-TV horror type ( Tales from the Crypt, Monsters, Friday the 13th, Masters of Horror, etc.). Everything feels truncated, short on funds, and creatively hindered. The filmmakers and actors are anything but amateur, but there have been some all-star casts and crews making TV horror flicks in the past.
Gore-hounds will probably be disappointed, as like most films in the interchangeable scary-ghost-girl Japanese horror genre, Pray relies more on atmosphere than violence. There is plenty of blood, but it's nothing that pushes the limits of the American 'R' rating. The problem is that the atmosphere doesn't really do its job either, and there is a definite lack of creepiness of fear throughout. Director Sato has created an air of dread, but never real fear. There are a lot of the usual 'it's behind you' moments, to the point where they start to feel more like a Scary Movie style spoof.
The emotional ending, well one of them, is effectively touching, even though the script hasn't given us much of a reason to care. Once the revelation comes around, my first reaction was to laugh, but as the scene progressed I found myself moved. This was really because of the actor's effectively emotional performance (I won't tell you which actor of course, that might give away some of the 'twists'). This scene is really the film's saving grace, and the only thing that puts it a head of all the other interchangeable scary-ghost-girl J-horror flicks already available every where you freaking look.
I understand that Pray was meant to be a dark film, but this DVD presentation is pretty jarring. Detail is sparse, and highlights are at times so subtle that entire scenes are washed in grey. These dark scenes are also pretty grainy. The disc is presented in 1.85:1 widescreen and is anamorphically enhanced. I can't find very much information on the film's origins, but as I watched it I became more and more convinced it was made for TV, or at least a straight-to-video release. The framing is basically OK, but there were a few shots that made me suspect that the film had been cropped. Whether the darkness is due to faulty authoring or film stock isn't known, but this isn't the easiest to watch film. The fact that I didn't notice very many compression issues leads me to think that the film, and not the DVD, is to be blamed here.
The scary ghost-girl, J-horror formula lends itself very well to aggressive surround tracks. Often the spooky atmosphere can be more credited to a quality soundtrack, filled with eerie sounds floating throughout the rear speakers and startlingly aggressive chord strikes during a scare. Unfortunately Pray isn't really all that aggressive. Perhaps if there'd been a little more kick to its soundtrack it would've successfully crawled under my skin. Tartan does its best with what it has, and there are a few standout surround effects, but nothing to shake a contorted, longhaired young female at.
I was unable to tell much of a difference between the DTS and Dolby Digital tracks, but both had cantered dialogue and a decent amount of separation and bass.
I'm afraid there's not much here. We have a press pack disguised as a 'Making of' featurette, which is followed by equally promotion skewed interviews and a few trailers. Nothing here to really sink ones teeth into, but I do thank the DVD reviewing Gods that I didn't have to sit though another meandering commentary track with a participant that sounds like he or she would much rather be fishing.
I'm just not feeling this one. It's not a bad film, and the ending is refreshingly bittersweet, but in the end it's just another in the never-ending line of interchangeable scary ghost-girl, J-horror movies. This one's really for genre completists only.

The Texas Department of Public Safety is grateful to the Metcalf Family for their commitment to honoring DPS officers who have given their lives in the service to the State of Texas.
In 1991, Trooper Carlos Warren stopped Richard Metcalf for speeding. Mr. Metcalf was impressed with the way the trooper handled the traffic stop. Several weeks later, Trooper Warren was shot to death while interrupting a kidnapping. Mr. Metcalf decided to honor Trooper Warren with a memorial stone at the place where he was killed.
Mr. Metcalf then decided to place memorials—at his own expense—to honor each of the DPS officers who have died in the line of duty. However, he passed away after a lengthy illness and his goal was not realized.
Mr. Metcalf's brother, Don, was touched by his brother's determination to honor all DPS troopers and took up his brother's cause. As of July 2012, each of the 86 DPS troopers killed in the line of duty has been honored with a stone marker.
The Metcalfs will forever hold a special place in the hearts of the entire DPS family.

Holden hit the jackpot in today's surprise snowstorm, logging 24.4 inches of snow, to take the state prize for snowiest town. Clinton came in third with 23.4 inches.
Weymouth was second with 24.1 inches, according to reports collected by the National Weather Service.
Rounding out the top 10 were Randolph (23.0), Worcester Airport (22.8), Walpole (22.7), Dracut (22.1), Canton (21.8), Rockland (21.5), and Sterling (21.3).
William Babcock, a meteorologist at the National Weather Service of Taunton, said hilly areas were generally more susceptible to higher snow accumulations.
"Air flowing up over those hills will wring out a little more snowfall and snow accumulation," Babcock said.
Babcock expects the flakes to taper off this evening and temperatures to rise to the low to mid-40s this weekend.

Add Daphne Groeneveld, Stereo Total's tune "I Love You, Ono", lots of sun, plenty of dancing, and of course a cat and you seriously get a gorgeous beauty mini-film. That is exactly what Jonas Akerlund has done for Dior's Addict perfume short and I adore it.
Trust me if you are in need of cheering up this film will do it, set in a gorgeous seaside town that looks like it has been specially painted in this season's key pastel colours – not only is Daphne completely stunning soaking up the sun on the beach, playing dress-up behind a leopard-print screen, and doing the cha-cha, she also wears a cat on her head, yep you read that right!!!
Daphne really does capture the art of seduction beautifully in this colourful film, but seriously, I need to ask who else could work a cat on her head and look this hot??? Very impressive, and if you don't finish this film without smiling I have no clue what will make you happy.

Divergence (US - DVD R1)
DVDActive's first ever cover quote! But does Gabe diverge from that quote?
Suen (Aaron Kwok) is a depressed and rundown cop still obsessing over his girlfriend's sudden disappearance ten years ago. While extraditing a witness from Canada, his bounty is murdered by an oddly principled assassin who may to possess information about Suen missing love. The witness' death is welcome news for a crooked businessman whose assets were frozen by the police—until his only son (a pop star) is kidnapped. Enter To, a lawyer who has always successfully protected his shady clients, and who coincidentally happens to be married to a woman who looks exactly like Suen's missing girlfriend. Ultimately, each of these men will be drawn together.
In a twist of heavy-handed irony, I'm forced into an inter-website divergence of my own here. Anyone who's seen the box art for Tartan Asia Extreme's release of the film Divergence will notice that DVDActive.com has been positively quoted on the cover. That quote seems to be the result of some detective work over at Tartan, because it refers to this review of the HK special edition release, written by Cas Harlow. Cas liked the film quite a bit, and I'm sure there are a lot of other folks out there that will agree with him. Lord knows I don't want to undermine his DVD critiquing authority, but I thought this was a pretty average thriller.
The plot is one of these same old, same old generic Hong Kong cop thrillers I've seen about a million of. The gang's all here: the cop tortured by his past, complete with a scene of him loudly arguing with the chief and turning in his badge to pursue his own brand of justice (street justice), the mournful assassin, a character pretty much covered by John Woo in the '90s, and his journey to redemption, and the wicked business man seeing the error of his ways. There's some rather foreseeable double crossing, and the last act 'treason' is pretty guessable just by simply knowing one's popular Hong Kong actors (or looking at the DVD's cover). So, Infernal Affairs meets The Killer. If you liked those movies enough to watch them again, then I'm sure you'll be happy here.
I really, really disliked the last film I reviewed from director Benny Chan, Heroic Duo. It was more of the same, and the action was pretty anaemic. Divergence is a positive step up from Heroic Duo, if not in story then in cinematic action. The assassin's first hit is expertly crafted, and when the target is shot I really felt the bullet, and peppered throughout are some chaotic shoot-outs, complete with a bit of basic martial arts action. The showstopper is the epic foot chase through the busy streets of Hong Kong, ending in a rather brutal hand to hand beat down. It's too bad for Chan that the recent Parkour foot chases in District 13 and Casino Royale blow his honestly great scene away, and I give him a lot of credit, but it's not enough to save the film from being entirely unmemorable.
The final revelation is actually more confusing and convoluted than shocking, but there is a hint of originality to it, which like everything else counts as both a positive and a negative when scoring the film overall. This is no bad film, it has quite a bit going for it, but the story is tired and clichéd. Chan's control is not up for argument, but his camera placement and overall pallet is lacking. The acting is solid, but I didn't find myself moved at any point. I'm not going to argue with those who enjoy the film, because it has its merits, I was just left particularly lukewarm on the whole thing. Honestly I find it difficult to say anything about the film at all.
Tartan USA's releases have always varied in image quality, but are overall rather solid releases. The last two discs I've received, including this one, have been a definitive step down in quality control. The image is anamorphically enhanced without any stretching (both past issues), and colours are reasonable. The pallet is the usual Hong Kong cool blue, and isn't exactly eye-popping, so noise is pretty even. Most of the disc's grain seems to be related to film stock.
The problem here is that this is not a progressive transfer. Quite often I'm easily fooled by a decent interlaced transfer (Tartan did it with Lady Vengeance), but this disc's got more combing than a busy barber shop (like that? I've been saving that one for some time now). In fact, I had trouble getting screen caps without any interlacing and/or combing effects. Detail level varies, but during motion tends to blur. All in all, not up to standards, especially not when we know there are better transfers on the market.
As per the norm, out DTS and Dolby Digital 5.1 tracks are pretty much the same, with the DTS track simply being the louder. I've got no complaints here; the track is reasonably well balanced, and features a few fun surround effects. The bass track is super-punchy, and rarely rumbles out of control.
The dialogue, very occasionally seems to differ from the characters lips, but really not enough to notice. The dialogue track is clear and doesn't distort, but I still found the film hard to follow because as it progressed the subtitles got further and further away from the Chinese words I couldn't understand. At some points there is a solid five-to-ten second break between spoken word and subtitle.
If the sub par video presentation was strike one, and the delayed subtitles are strike two, then the extras are strike three. This is a two-disc set, and there is absolutely no reason for it. I'm fine with little to no extras on a DVD, especially when I'm not all that fond of the film, but releasing this as a two-disc set verges on false advertising.
Disc one features Chan's feature commentary, which is fine, but like the film not all that compelling. Chan's got information to share, but isn't very personable, and comes off as a tiny bit conceited. Also featured on the track is the lead actor, Aaron Kwok, who has only a little to offer. Sometimes, due to what I'm guessing is a problem with the translation, the commentary makes little sense, and is better read as a tone poem or haiku. This commentary completes the disc one extras.
Disc two features a 'Making of' which amounts to about fifteen minutes of the cast and crew musing over the purpose of the film's title. Needless to say, this is a PR piece, and not really a documentary look at the film at all. There's another featurette featuring raw footage of the film's premiere, which runs a scant few minutes. There's an image gallery, only for some reason the folks at Tartan have decided to make it a slide show, which kind of looks like a computer screen saver featuring images from the film. Each image wanders aimlessly across the screen and the viewer has no control but to skip the show entirely. Disc two ends with a series of trailers, one of which is mislabelled as the original Korean trailer. The film and trailer both originated in Hong Kong, and there is no Korean text to be seen.
My overall disappointment with the film is almost immaterial here. It really comes down to taste, as I didn't really even like Infernal Affairs, a movie this film is generally similar to. The film is well made; it just didn't move me to excitement, save one solid foot chase. The reason I can't recommend this DVD is its sloppy construction. I've been rough on Tartan USA's transfers in the past, but this one was often appalling, and the delayed subtitles and lack of extras, despite the fact that this is a two disc set, makes me sad. Tartan has some great looking releases coming down the line soon, here's to hoping they get it together in time.
From Tartan:
"We recently learned of a synchronization issue with the subtitle track on Disc 1 of the Divergence Two Disc Set. We are concerned that some people may have unknowingly purchased this disc before it was removed from stores and replaced. Tartan takes extreme pride in the quality of our product and we are asking anyone who may have purchased a compromised disc to visit our website, www.tartanvideousa.com for information on how to obtain a replacement disc for free. We value our audience tremendously and look forward to the opportunity to correct this matter. As always, thank you for your continuing support."

I bought this movie yesterday from Best Buy, and was very disappointed with the handling of the subtitles. The movie was pretty rock-solid, though... But seriously, they really need to start looking into how these movies are marketed, 'cause any box art with Daniel Wu sporting two guns John Woo-style tells me that I'm gonna see some really cool stuff. But nowhere in the film does he do that, and I find that I was a little p*ssed with the false advertising. He doesn't even wear a suit in the film, for Christ's sake! I know, I'm dumb for buying something based on the box art, but all the same, I wish I'd researched the movie a little bit before buying it blind.
I was surprised, however, with how good it was - it really didn't have to rely on gunshots and blood to tell its story. It's a completely different animal, kind of along the lines of Jackie Chan's "Crime Story", where you're expecting one thing, but it turns out to be more compelling than you thought it was going to be.

Tartan might be recalling this DVD due to the subtitle delay which they're going to fix.
I liked it better than Gabe, but I felt the ending was lacking.

Yeah, in the recall, make the video progressive, grab the extras from all the other DVDs in the world, subtitle them, progressively flag the image (if need be) and for gods sakes, rid of that misleading cover! We've got enough of those!

Who Needs COICA When Homeland Security Gets To Seize Domain Names?
from the this-won't-end-well dept
The latest set of seizures is no less troubling. These domain seizures come even without the COICA law being in place, and despite assurances from COICA supporters that no such domain seizures would ever possibly come without a full trial first, many of the operators of the domain names seized in this round state they hadn't received any notification of complaints, let alone demands to be taken down.
And it gets even more ridiculous, as some of the sites taken down appear to be nothing more than search engines, which did not host any content and did not host any trackers, but simply acted as perfectly normal search engines. For anyone who actually understands how the internet works (i.e., clearly not Homeland Security) this is a massively troubling move, suggesting that if Homeland Security doesn't like how your search engine works, it can simply seize your domain and put up a really scary looking graphic, claiming it has taken over your website:
And, of course, none of this is actually stopping these sites from working. Within hours, many had popped back up elsewhere. The whole thing seems highly questionable. Seizing domain names without a trial, and taking down sites that appear to be nothing more than search engines, rather than actually hosting infringing material, is a huge, dangerous step, which appears to have absolutely nothing to do with Homeland Security's mandate.

I didn't start out to make handmade quilts and quilt tops for sale. The idea of selling them came about
because I have too many quilts and quilt tops as a result of a real love for the process of making
patchwork! Designing and then piecing the quilt tops are the parts of making a quilt that I enjoy the most. I
consider my quilts and quilt tops to be handmade even though I piece them on my trusty Singer 319W.
This is the only sewing machine I've ever owned and we've grown comfortably old together :) All of my
quilt tops are made by me personally in my home sewing room, which is my favorite place in the
world. I have a wonderful collection of quilt books and enjoy looking at them but I've seldom been able to
take a pattern and stay with it until the quilt top is finished and looks just like the one in the book. I always
end up thinking, "Wow, wouldn't a little Pinwheel or Shoo-Fly or Churn Dash or maybe a few Flying Geese
look good there!" This is great because it makes my quilts original and it
keeps me happy!
My fabric Stash is something to behold!

General Information (419) 530-3451
Pharmacy (419) 530-3471

Administration (419) 530-3479 or (419) 530-3493
Eligibility for Use
Students: All registered UT students are eligible to utilize services offered at the MCMC. If you are a student, but are not currently registered, please call (419) 530-3493 for further assistance.
Employees: All UT employees are eligible to utilize services at the MCMC for acute medical care.
What to Bring To Your Appointment
- A valid UT ID or other official picture ID (such as a driver's license)
- A list of your medications (prescription and over-the-counter), including dosage
- Information pertaining any hospitalizations, surgeries, chronic medical issues, etc.
- Your medical health insurance card
- Your prescription drug card
- A method of payment for any possible charges
Many students, especially those whose permanent home is out-of-town, use the MCMC
as their primary care facility. This means that they make appointments to be seen
for illness and injuries as they occur throughout their college stay. Our professional
staff is available to meet a variety of health care needs. If the student's health
care provider has diagnosed a student with an illness or injury which requires specialty
care, our office can make the appropriate referrals as a convenience to the student.
Gynecology Services
If you are a female student, you may want to take advantage of the services offered at the MCMC. These services include annual and initial gynecological examinations (PAP tests); testing and treatment of sexually transmitted diseases (STD's); urinary tract infections; pregnancy testing; and birth control methods and counseling.
Mental Health Services
Main Campus Medical Center has a psychiatrist and a liscensed counselor on staff to provide mental health services to students. Counseling and medication evaluation and management are available.
Pharmacy Services
UT Outpatient Pharmacy (530-3471) operates much like your neighborhood pharmacy. We accept prescriptions from our doctors as well as doctors from the "outside." Prescriptions can be phoned in to our pharmacy (to save you a commute), or we can call a prescription in to the pharmacy of your choice.

Lab Services
Another service we are pleased to offer is our laboratory service. If a medical provider is ordering a lab test, you don't even have to leave the building! If our lab does not process the test you are having performed, our reference laboratory will generally have the results delivered to your physician within 24-48 hours. The laboratory is able to perform laboratory tests using "outside" orders. If your medical provider at home wants you to get lab work done, and it is more convenient to do it here, please bring in a lab order and we can do the testing here. It is more convenient for you to call first to find out the best time to come. On certain days, and during certain times of the year, our laboratory can experience a back-up and you may experience a wait.
Immunization and Allergy Injection Clinic
Do you get an allergy shot every week (or even twice a week)? Yes? If so, you may be interested in our allergy injection clinic ... especially if you travel home two to three hours each way ... just to get a shot! Working with you and your allergist, we will store your serum at the MCMC and administer your allergy injections for a nominal fee. If we can assist you with this service, please call our office for information on how to set this up with your allergist.

I feel the same and aggravated by this issue that I am setting late way pass my sleeping hours trying to engage and analyze the issue. You are always welcome back in the UAE, it is much better now
This WB issue bothers me so much, that I might have to go out and rent the camera just to find out more before actually purchasing it. If it consoles you at all, I might mention that I did work for half a year in UAE in 1979 before entering the broadcast TV and computer graphics business.
I believe Simon's reasoning makes lots of sence:
Look at these images as they go from blue to green as WB goes higher. The camera does not add any red hue and thus the colors such as the sand does not get whiter and the purple sponges does not get the right saturation level and the rock does not look brownish as seen in my EX1 clip above. The correct red filter might make the difference as Simon says, I hope.
I also remember when the Z1 was having some of these issues (very green water when using one touch WB)
Happy holidays guys

The Red Devils started off on Friday, Dec. 7 with a 54-21 loss to host school Juab High, which dropped Grand into Pool C. The Red Devils then played the other seven schools within that pool in a round-robin tournament that lasted until Saturday afternoon.
According to Grand's coach, Dennis Wells, the Red Devils won five of their seven round-robin games, defeating Summit Academy 54-24, and also beating Manti, Carbon, Springville, and Juan Diego, all by identical 42-36 scores. The Red Devils' two defeats were a 39-35 loss to Uintah and a 60-18 loss to Panguitch.
Wrestling at 145 pounds, GCHS sophomore Ronnie Dolphin fractured his right arm during his second match on Friday, against Summit Academy, but still managed to beat his opponent on points, 8-7. Dolphin was unable to wrestle any additional matches, however, and finished with a 1-1 record at the tournament. His broken arm is expected to keep him out for the rest of the season, coach Wells said.
In addition, GCHS heavyweight wrestler Edgar Gomez, a junior, injured his knee in his fifth match, and was unable to wrestle in the team's final three matches. Gomez went 4-1 overall, Wells said.
Two other Red Devil athletes didn't compete at Juab at all due to injuries. Dexter Sheets, a 120-pound senior, was recuperating from a shoulder injury, but is expected to return to action soon, Wells said.
However, Jacob Francis, a 132-pound junior and former state finalist, is not so lucky, as his recent shoulder dislocation will require surgery and sideline him the remainder of the season.
"He'll get it operated on Dec. 27 and will not wrestle the rest of the year," Wells said.
Two GCHS wrestlers posted 7-1 win-loss records at the Juab tournament: 152-pound junior Trenton White and 120-pound junior Gage Lindquist. In addition, 195-pound Austin Day, also a junior, was 5-2 overall at Juab, while 138-pound senior Doyle Irvine was 4-4.
Winning three of five matches overall for Grand at the Juab tournament were Seth Holyoak, Matt Bridenbaker, Donavin Denton, Justin Moore, and Robert Allred.
GCHS sophomore Andrew Hugentobler, who was wrestling in the junior varsity division at 120 pounds, took fourth place overall in that JV tournament, Wells said.
This weekend, on Friday and Saturday, Dec. 14-15, the Red Devils will travel to Kayenta, Ariz., for an invitational tournament.
Grand's first home match of the season will be a dual meet against the San Juan Broncos on Dec. 19.

text: LANSING -- Scientists have found another promising weapon in the battle against sea lampreys, strong evidence that they may win the war against one of the Great Lake's most infamous invaders. Researchers at Michigan State University have begun field tests on a chemical compound that tricks the lampreys and lures them into traps. Weiming Li, an MSU fisheries and wildlife professor, led the 10-year research effort. Li said a key discovery in the first half of the studies was that male lampreys release a pheromone that attracts females during mating. As a result, Li's team identified the structure of the compound making up the pheromone. Since then, Li said they discovered how to imitate the pheromone and use it to manipulate the lampreys' behavior. They've conducted tests on the Ocqueoc River between Rogers City and Cheboygan using the pheromone-laced traps. Mike Siefkes, the sea lamprey program specialist for the Great Lakes Fishery Commission, said they are, on average, about twice as effective as the traps without it. Sea lampreys are parasitic fish that resemble eels. Able to live in fresh and salt water, they made their way to the Great Lakes from the Atlantic Ocean in the 1920s through canals and locks that bypassed Niagara Falls. Before they were built, the alien fish couldn't circumvent the falls. Lampreys survive by latching onto other fish and eating away at them, which usually kills the host. Marc Gaden, the communications director for the Great Lakes Fishery Commission in Ann Arbor, said lampreys nearly destroyed most of the game fish population in the Great Lakes by the 1950s. Gaden said one lamprey can consume up to 40 pounds of fish in its lifetime. About 3 million inhabited the Great Lakes in the early 1950s. Lampreys appeared to be taking over the entire ecosystem, but in 1957 researchers discovered the chemical TFM. TFM, a lampricide, kills lamprey larvae in streams leading to the lakes. It has little effect on the rest of the ecosystem and is the main reason the population has dropped to about 450,000, according to Gaden. Discovering TFM was a bi-national effort between the United States and Canada that funded testing of about 6,000 chemicals. Gaden said about 85 percent of the Fishery Commission's budget now goes toward lamprey control. The United States this year will spend about $10 million, $2 million more than the previous year, on research and control efforts, while Canada will spend about $8 million. Referring to TFM as the "silver bullet" in lamprey control, Gaden said it's the main reason why the $7 billion-a-year sport fishing industry in the Great Lakes has been revitalized. Despite the success of TFM, Gaden said the number of lampreys in the Great Lakes is still too high, causing researchers to look for other options. "We want to have another technique in our arsenal so we can attack this lamprey problem from as many angles as possible," Gaden said, referring to the pheromone-trapping technique. Li said the trapping method could lower use of the expensive lampricide. Siefkes said this summer the commission is expanding testing of the new technique. Ten Michigan streams will be fitted with the pheromone-laced traps this summer, four tributaries of Lake Superior, four of Lake Michigan and two of Lake Huron. Rivers projected to get the traps feeding Lake Michigan are the Manistee, Little Manistee, and Betsie rivers and the Carp Lake Outlet. The rivers leading to Lake Superior will be the Misery, Rock, Miners and Betsy rivers. Also, the East Branch of the Au Gres and the St. Marys rivers on Lake Huron are scheduled for traps. Ten more streams will be tested in Canada in 2010. "After this summer, we're going to have a really good idea of how effective this is going to be," Siefkes. "We're anticipating we're going to have a really good effect on trap capture." Gaden said that, despite the latest promising research developments, the battle against lampreys must continue. "They're a resilient beast and they know how to survive. They're older than the dinosaurs, and they haven't changed much since then."

Nathan Fillion is the movie's brightest spot as Hermes, re-envisioned as a UPS manager. He makes a quip about how the best TV series always get canceled, in a nod to Firefly, the iconic sci-fi show in which he starred.

OK for kids 10+
Action-packed sequel still doesn't live up to book series.
What Parents Need to Know
Parents need to know that Percy Jackson: Sea of Monsters is the sequel to Percy Jackson and the Olympians: The Lightning Thief -- both of which are based on Rick Riordan's best-selling fantasy book series. Riordan's action- and humor-packed tales are enormously popular with elementary-school readers, but, like its predecessor, this big-screen adaptation does include violence and peril-filled scenes (and a few presumed deaths) that could scare younger kids -- even if they're familiar with the story. Unlike the first movie, there aren't any inappropriate references to sexy women or relationships. Ultimately, this is a hero's journey in which a main character and his friends save each other and defeat evil.
Families can talk about film adaptations. How does Percy Jackson: Sea of Monsters compare to the book it was based on? How about with the first movie? What changes did you like, and which parts of the book do you wish had made it to the big screen?
The Percy Jackson books are based on myths. What did you learn about mythological characters and stories? Does the movie make you want to read the books (either for the first time or again) or more about Greek myths?
Talk about the scare factor. Did anything make you want to hide under your chair? Which mythological monsters would you least like to see in the real world? Does fantasy violence have the same impact as more realistic violence?
Do you think there should be more Percy Jackson movies? What other children's books or series do you wish were turned into movies?
Messages: Percy's quest teaches that, in order to overcome obstacles, you need help, support, and guidance from friends, mentors, and people who know more than you. Percy must persevere despite his self doubt in order to protect his friends and his home. Tyson is a cyclops but not bloodthirsty like other cyclops; he makes it clear that you shouldn't judge someone before you get to know them.
Role models: Percy, Annabeth, and Grover are fiercely protective of one another. Percy conquers his self doubt to act like a leader and make tough decisions to save Camp Half Blood. Tyson immediately cares for Percy and loves having a brother. Tyson is self sacrificing and kind.
Violence: Lots of fantasy action. A flashback shows a young girl being killed by a cyclops and then turned into the roots of a magical tree. A giant Colchis Bull wreaks havoc on Camp Half Blood, where it injures several kids before fighting directly with both Percy and Tyson. There are three big fight scenes between Percy and his friends and the bad guys. Polyphemus, a huge cyclops, keeps threatening to eat either satyrs or half bloods and fights with Percy, Annabeth, Grover, and Tyson. When brought back to life, Kronos is a frightening sight. Two characters are presumed dead -- and one does temporarily die before the golden fleece revives her.
Sex: Some discussion of how the gods have children with humans and other creatures. Percy and Annabeth share some lingering looks and are protective of each other but aren't outright romantic.
Language: A couple of "damn"s. A character almost says "bitch," but it comes out with a long "bbbbb" sound.
Consumerism: Some of the characters wear Converse All-Stars. A UPS Store is shown during a pivotal scene, but it's actually an "OPS" (Olympian Parcel Service).
Drinking, drugs and smoking: Not applicable

In 2000, Antoine Assi founded the Middle Eastern export website www.aldoukan.com—it was one of the first e-commerce business in the Middle East. He was just 20 years old and he made time to develop the business in between the computer science classes at his university. He needed a way to advertise his website from the comfort of his own dorm room, so he decided to test out the Google AdWords.
His friends didn't believe him when Antoine said he was going to sell and advertise the traditional Middle Eastern foods and goods online. However, by 2004, his business had grown so rapidly that he decided to take leave from the school to run it full-time. He then started his second company, www.mosaicmarble.com, which sells handcut decorative tiles online internationally.
Antoine believed there was a gap in the mosaic market and he wanted to share these artistic and historic decorations abroad. He knew there was a market for these tiles internationally—he just didn't quite know where the opportunity existed. To identify these international growth opportunities, Antoine built on his knowledge of AdWords: He ran several AdWords campaigns, each targeted at the location and language of the test country.
From there, Antoine measured sales and percentage of website traffic from each country and campaign. He ended campaigns for countries with low sales volume and invested in campaigns for countries with higher sales volume and greater return on investment. Where he saw steady product sales, Antoine even had the company website translated into the language of the successful host country. As you can imagine, translating the site to the language of a country in which he'd already seen success only further promoted sales in that location.
Antoine refers to his AdWords campaigns as his hidden treasure, telling us that "the second month we started advertising on Google, we started feeling overwhelmed by the orders and the inquiries... We had to hire new employees on a weekly basis."
Mosaic Marble quickly grew from two employees and eight artists to more than 40 employees and 120 artists. And the company's website is now available in seven languages: Arabic, English, Finnish, German, Italian, Portuguese and Swiss.
In addition to helping him expand his business, these international campaigns helped Antoine and his colleagues share these cultural icons with a larger part of the world. There are now homes and public spaces adorned with these ancient Greek creations in more than 50 countries worldwide. "Due to Google," says Antoine, "we have customers such as the President of Congo, the Dubai Minister of Internal Affairs, the Princess of Jordan, and the Royal Music Academy of London."

TOKYO, March 15 (UPI) -- Flights on the Dreamliner should resume within weeks, Boeing executives said, expressing confidence that issues with the jetliner's batteries were resolved.
Speaking in Japan, home to two of the largest buyers of the Boeing 787, they said more than 500 engineers and outside experts invested more than 200,000 hours of engineering and tests to understand what may have caused lithium-ion batteries to overheat in two planes in January, The New York Times reported.
Those incidents prompted U.S. and Japanese regulators, along with officials in other countries, to ground the 50 Dreamliners already delivered.
Dreamliner's chief engineer, Michael Sinnett, said Boeing hasn't determined -- and might never know -- the exact cause of the overheating
"We looked at everything that could impact the battery," Sinnett said, "and we applied a broad set of solutions that encompasses everything that this large team of experts believed someday could happen. And it led to a very robust solution,"
Sinnett said the fix, which includes a new enclosure made of stainless steel, was designed to keep the battery from flaring by quickly depriving any flames of oxygen.

Get this book as soon as you can. I first saw it
as a sophomore in HS and its wondrous mathematics
frightened the bjesus out of me. Each year I would
go back to the physics section at my local Barnes
and Noble and gaze through its pages, and as my
knowledge of mathematics increased so my fear did
melt away. I purchased the text during my
undergrad sophomore year and have been going
through it whenever I have the time for the past
2.5 years. The book introduces tensors and
differential forms very early on, which makes the
calculations and derivations very elegant. The
pictures and diagrams are huge and provide
wonderful insight towards GR problems. Furthermore
the text is filled with historical anectodes and
pictures of famous physicists, which give it a
truly majestic flavor. I assure you that the intro
commentaries to every chapter will leave you
smiling. To put it in the words of the authors,
Geometrodynamics is a beautifull seductress. A
must have for the library of any serious physicist.

Easy as Pie Pops by Andrea Smetona
A mouthful of pie-filling sandwiched between two flaky rounds of crust — there's nothing about this situation that I do not like. In Easy as Pie Pops, Andrea Smetona shows us exactly how these two-bite wonders can be ours.
Quick Facts
• Who wrote it: Andrea Smetona
• Who published it: Page Street Publishing Co.
• The Angle: Tiny pie! On a stick!
• Recipes for right now: D'Anjou Pear Pie Pops, Old-Fashioned Apple Pie Pops, Pink Lemon Meringue Pie Pops, Crème Brùlée Pie Pops, Boston Cream Pie Pops, Coconut Cream Pie Pops, Pizza Pocket Pie Pops, Lemon Poppyseed Cake Pops, Lavender-Honey Cake Pops
• Major Takeaways:
As someone who has tried to adapt traditional pie recipes to pop tart and pie pop form, I can safely say that the #1 service that this book provides is telling us exactly how much filling and how much pie crust to prepare for each recipe. That sounds like a boring detail, but trust me, when you find yourself elbow deep in flour and jammy fillings, you will be so incredibly grateful.
Aside from technical details about securing lollipop sticks to our pops and creating adorable peek-a-boo windows in our crusts, this book provides enough tempting, eye-popping ideas for pie pops to keep an industrious baker happy through many potlucks, office parties, birthdays, and wedding showers. Some are riffs on traditional pies while others are entirely Smetona's own invention (Strawberry Limeade Pie Pops? Nutella S'more Pie Pops? Yes, please!). She also includes some recipes for cake pops and tiny tea cakes.
• Who would enjoy this book? People who love tiny desserts, caterers, crafty bakers, folks who consider themselves the go-to party thrower among their friends

Earth : Asia : South Asia : Pakistan : Punjab (Pakistan) : Wagah
Wagah (or Wagha) is a border town straddling the line between Pakistan and India, 29 km from the town of Lahore on the Pakistani side and 27 km from Amritsar on the Indian side. This is the only crossing point between Pakistan and India that is regularly open to foreigners.
Get in
The closest significant town to Wagah from the Indian side is Amritsar, Punjab. Also close is Lahore on the Pakistani side.
By train
The Samjhauta Express from Delhi to Lahore passes through Wagah. The last station on the Indian side is Attari.
By road
When driving from Islamabad, it should take at minimum 4.5 hours.
From Lahore Station, take a bus, or taxi. Minibus No.4 leaves from outside Lahore Railway Station every 15 minutes (~US$0.20), while a taxi should cost US$8. The trip takes around half an hour.
From Amritsar, Wagah is about 45 minutes away by car. There are public buses to Attari station, from where you can continue the last 3 km to the border by cyclerickshaw.
Most tourists can take a taxi through their hotels for a round trip, which includes the waiting time at Wagah. As of Jan 09, a typical fare for such a trip from Amritsar is about Rs. 800 (US $17). The fare for auto is Rs.400.
Get around
If you're planning on actually crossing the border, you should aim to get there as early as possible. As of 2009, the border is open every day from 8:30 AM to 2:30 PM. Border formalities can take anywhere from 30 minutes to over two hours, and you will need to arrange a visa before you arrive.
Regular buses or taxis are not allowed into the no-man's land between the countries, so unless you're on one of the few deluxe international buses, you'll have to walk across the 500m between the border posts yourself. Porters -- blue coats for the Indians, green coats for the Pakistanis -- can carry your belongings for a few dollars.
There is daily flag raising and lowering ceremony at Wagah Border, done with fascinating pomp and ceremony that involves lots of tall soldiers in massive turbans goose-stepping about and slamming gates. Both the Indian and Pakistani border forces do this and it has become a tradition for people from both sides gather and see this. Both sides synchronise their parade and the entire event is meant to create a feel-good/patriotic fervour amongst the crowd. It is called the beating retreat ceremony.
As of Jan 2009, the flag lowering ceremony which happens around 4:15 PM everyday has become the main event for tourists. In addition, there is now a short cultural programme also done by local folk dancers (Bhangra) for the waiting crowd before the flag lowering. Please take note that a peak crowd of upto 2000+ people can assemble on the Indian side on weekends/long weekends/public holidays. The crowd consists of both tourists & locals. The noise and atmosphere of the assembled crowds on both sides of the border is similar to that of a sporting match and very entertaining.
The border gates have a visitor gallery on each side, basically concrete steps created around the border main road. This allows most people in the crowd to get a seat but it is not uncommon to see up to 500-1000 people standing at the periphery. There are metal fences to help direct and control the crowds in and out of the seating areas.
Ideally, one should reach the border gates by 3:30 PM to get some seating if you're going on a rush day.
The seating area is as follows:
Cellphones, Cameras (any kind), men's wallets are allowed. No covered bags (including ladies purses & handbags) are allowed inside the visitor areas. However, border personnel allow carrying of clear plastic bags with few snacks, water, childrens food etc. The restrictions are usually dependent on the crowd and perceived security alertness on that day.
For tourists coming in to see the ceremony, note that the taxis/cars need to be parked about 500m away from the entry gates to the border area. You will need to walk in and reach the visitor gallery. Stay to the left side until you reach the grandstands.
Do not bring any bags! Bags of all sizes are not allowed in and there are no clocking facilities. Camera's are ok, but leave the camera bag at home.
Be prepared for minor traffic jams when the ceremony has finished as up to 200-300 vehicles try and exit around the same time. The main road to Wagah is being widened to a 4 lane one, and should be ready by Jun 09.
Relax at nearby Jallo Park, or enjoy in Suzo Water Park.
There is an official tourist center, called "Aman Umeed" at the entry gate. It is a nice clean facility with bathrooms etc and has comfortable seating, although food options are very limited inside.
However, there are 2-3 large local food stalls outside the gate opposite the tourist center which serve food, offer packaged snacks and soft drinks. You can take these inside when you watch the ceremony.
Water Bottles are not allowed after the checking point of entry to Wagah border. So don't carry them from the car/autos. If necessary, buy them at the stalls just near the gate.
Note that cellphones may not work here, as calls/SMSs are jammed. There are jammers at wagah, so no mobile phone service
Get out

Officials in Washington Township, Waynesboro Borough and Waynesboro School Board are continuing to gather information about creating a LERTA.
Officials in Washington Township, Waynesboro Borough and Waynesboro School Board are continuing to gather information about creating a LERTA — a Local Economic Revitalization Tax Abatement program.
They are planning to meet with the Franklin County Area Development Corp. at 7 p.m. Tuesday, Dec. 4, in the meeting room at the school district's Clayton Avenue administration building to further discuss a potential LERTA in the Waynesboro area.
Earlier this year, Antrim Township, the Greencastle-Antrim School Board and the Borough of Greencastle approved a LERTA in an effort to keep World Kitchen in the community and promote other business growth.
What it could do
Local officials believe that LERTA could be an option to spur the local economy.
"LERTA could create an environment where commercial and industry could grow," said Mike Christopher, township manager. He added one major disadvantage for Waynesboro and Washington Township is being five or more miles away from Interstate 81.
"This is an opportunity to level out the playing field," said Christopher.
The purpose of the LERTA program is to give local taxing authorities the ability to provide real estate tax relief to commercial and industrial companies that begin construction on new properties or improvements on existing properties within a designated area.
Local taxing authorities can allow a tax break for up to 10 years under the program.
Christopher mentioned during the Washington Township supervisors' workshop Wednesday evening that LERTA could help spur growth and bring jobs to the Wharf Road Industrial Park and other sites in the area. Waynesboro officials previously noted interest in placing downtown Waynesboro within the boundaries of LERTA.
"LERTA could also offset the township's traffic impact fee on some new development," said Christopher.

China's Red-Hot Film Industry
From 2009 to 2012, the number of movie theaters quadrupled in China. Ben Cavender from China Market Research tells the WSJ's Abheek Bhattacharya how this is helping Chinese film studios compete with Hollywood at the box office.

... the ... all dealers producing things that us well ... China is now consuming and one of those things ... is movies on the beach when a trial with the Wall Street John all I'm joining me today is Benny cabin there from the China Market Research Group ... Ben burn off a lot of more Chinese people going to the movies right tell us about this ... it we've seen tremendous growth in the market revenues are up about double this year compared to last year so far ... the reason for this is people are really looking at spending on the overall lifestyle now not to find things in movies are really affordable way for the whole family ... the friends spend time together and get entertained ... great and I'd I also suppose they're a lot more movie theaters that they can ... they only receive tremendous proof ... for the market ... the number in China is on track to about five thousand years in year over the next three years ... as the London eye in the U S but globally it's one more theaters in just fine and the country will ... while five thousand ... every year that sounds like a big number ... tell me what overcapacity in steel and lots of other industries I wonder ... that'll be an issue for China ... what are the key thing to see how it develops on one hand is that a lot of them you know we're here for your cities in China ... the right now my only have twenty years ... so those markets before obsolete movie Morsi ... East them looking more experience ... but it could trigger a return of one of the issues out ... there there's a heater every corner people are willing to spend money movies I'm that interesting that happens that offers the appearance that cost him one and a lot of problems ... well dont wanna more encouraging things like ... Ortiz that I've seen here is that Chinese movie offerings domestic ones seem to be scoffing ... foreign ones ... it is this a trend that moviegoers ... or even for an investor should be banking on ... yes it is an interesting trend he looked back a few years ... is really difficult for any of the domestic movie house ever made any money on these people really only one to shell out money for the foreign films ... were service the change I think people are burning out a little bit on the summer action blockbuster at the special effects ... and are looking for songs will but more amenable ... to other Chinese companies that announced a fairly good job of producing films ... that are not a surly high budget films ... that have more of a readable story in the everyday modern Chinese life ... and I was doing it has lost an island ... just absolutely be a great example in two thousand fall I think it costs about ... five million ... dollars to meet the new dock hundred million US dollars so far ... I'm the reason why is it really readable lot of people are traveling overseas now Tesla the first destinations that are going to the comedy million kills tens of humor the cause of death these are really really well ... the title will leave it that thank so much and so it's much more power to last in Thailand and maybe a little less so to Iron Man three or Pacific

Yes, we certainly need to cut unnecessary and even frivolous federal spending, because, well, because it's unnecessary and frivolous.
So, Congress has targeted unnecessary oil subsidies and frivolous tax giveaways to billionaires, right? Uh, no. Instead, our learned solons have chosen to whack the Lead Poisoning Prevention Program. This tiny, $30 million fund (not even a decimal point in the national budget) was slashed by 94 percent to only $2 million. Gutting this program will not save you and me a penny on our tax bills.
Well, retort the whackers, who needs this program, anyway? Some of the poorest families in America, that's who. Lead poisoning from contaminated paint and soil is a silent epidemic in our country, afflicting some half-a-million low-income children a year with permanent brain damage and loss of IQ. The only safe level of lead in a child's blood is zero, which is why this program to monitor blood levels of lead and help state health departments inspect homes and contain the poison was initiated.
Lead poisoning is entirely preventable. America has the science and programs to stop this insidious destruction of babies' brains. Yet, even the miniscule $30 million budget the program previously had couldn't touch the crisis of lead contamination in the 4 million homes in which vulnerable children live — and now Congress has refused this dollop of funding, responding instead to the wails of Wall Street billionaires that federal spending be cut to preserve their minuscule tax rates.
Imagine the national emergency declaration from Congress if 4 million homes of the super-rich posed a danger to their children. But, then, we're told that such thoughts amount to class war — and we can't have that, can we? To fight this outrage, go to www.leadsafe.org.
