By ZACK ROGOW, senior editor at CIIS. His writings include a recent book of poems, "My Mother and the Ceiling Dancers," from Kattywompus Press.
Urusa Fahim brings to her teaching in the Transformative Leadership and Transformative Studies at CIIS an amazing variety of interests and experiences. She grew up in Bangladesh and Pakistan, and has studied or speaks six languages: English, Urdu, Arabic, French, Hindi, and Bengali. She earned a master's degree in applied psychology at Punjab University, one of the leading centers of learning in South Asia. After graduating, she worked as a clinical psychologist both in private practice and in government-run hospitals in Pakistan, before taking a training in women's leadership that the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) offered.
"That workshop literally changed my career overnight," she recalls. "I could see the application of concepts I was familiar with in a clinical context, how they could be used to train leaders and entrepreneurs." By coincidence, the program leader was leaving right after Fahim took the training. Fahim applied to become the new director, and was accepted. She spent the next couple of years teaching women in Pakistan how to become managers, entrepreneurs, and trainers.
She attributes her ability to exercise authority and train future leaders partly to her mother. "My mother had the equivalent of a sixth grade education, but she headed a department in an international hotel. She always told me I could be anything I wanted. It wasn't till later that I realized that not all girls were being given that same message. Understanding that was a factor in my wanting to train women leaders."

Cataract removal is surgery to remove a clouded lens (cataract) from the eye. Cataracts are removed to help you see better. The procedure almost always includes placing an artificial lens (IOL) in the eye.
Cataract extraction; Cataract surgery
Cataract surgery is an outpatient procedure. This means you likely do not have to stay overnight at a hospital. The surgery is performed by an ophthalmologist. This is a medical doctor who specializes in eye diseases and eye surgery.
Adults are usually awake for the procedure. Numbing medicine (local anesthesia) is given using eyedrops or a shot. This blocks pain. You will also get medicine to help you relax. Children usually receive general anesthesia. This makes them unconscious and unable to feel pain.
The doctor uses a special microscope to view the eye. A small cut (incision) is made in the eye.
The lens is removed in one of the following ways, depending on the type of cataract:
After the cataract is removed, a manmade lens, called an intraocular lens (IOL), is usually placed into the eye. It helps improve your vision.
The doctor may close the incision with very small stitches. Usually, a self-sealing (sutureless) method is used. If you have stitches, they may need to be removed later.
The surgery lasts less than half an hour. Most times, just one eye is done. If you have cataracts in both eyes, your doctor may suggest waiting at least 1 to 2 weeks between each surgery.
The normal lens of the eye is clear (transparent). As a cataract develops, the lens becomes cloudy. This blocks light from entering your eye. Without enough light, you cannot see as clearly.
Cataracts are painless. They are most often seen in the elderly. Sometimes children are born with them. Cataract surgery is usually done if you cannot see well enough because of cataracts. Cataracts usually do not damage your eye, so you and your eye doctor can decide when surgery is right for you.
In rare cases, the entire lens cannot be removed. If this happens, a procedure to remove all of the lens fragments will be done at a later time. Afterward, vision of most patients is still improved.
Very rare complications can include infection and bleeding. This can lead to permanent vision problems.
Before surgery, you will have a complete eye exam and eye tests by the ophthalmologist.
The doctor will use ultrasound or a laser scanning device to measure your eye. These tests help determine the best IOL for you.
Your doctor may prescribe eyedrops before the surgery. Follow instructions exactly on how to use the drops.
Before you go home, you may receive the following:
You will need to have someone drive you home after surgery.
You will usually have a follow-up exam with your doctor the next day. If you had stitches, you will need to make an appointment to have them removed.
Tips for recovering after cataract surgery:
Recovery takes about 2 weeks. If you need new glasses or contact lenses, you can usually have them fitted at that time. Keep your follow-up visit with your doctor.
Most patients do well and recover quickly after cataract surgery.
If a person has other eye problems, such as glaucoma or macular degeneration, the surgery may be more difficult or the outcome may not be as good.

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - American director Woody Allen will be honored with the Cecil B. DeMille award for his contribution to cinema, the organizers of the Golden Globe Awards said on Friday.
Allen, 77, best known for his 1978 film "Annie Hall," for which he won Oscars as best director and for best original screenplay, will be honored at the annual Golden Globe Awards in January, the Hollywood Foreign Press Association (HFPA) said.
The prolific director and writer was chosen for the award by the board of directors of the HFPA, whose Golden Globe Awards honor the year's best in film and television.
"There is no one more worthy of this award than Woody Allen," said HFPA President Theo Kingma in a statement. "His contributions to film making have been phenomenal and he truly is an international treasure."
Allen has made more than four dozen films in his 58-year career and is known for his trademark neurotic and comedic characters, many played by himself.
He also won the best original screenplay Oscar for 1986's "Hannah and her Sisters" and 2011's "Midnight in Paris."
His current film, "Blue Jasmine," a riches-to-rags story about a mentally ill alcoholic woman, is in U.S. cinemas.
DeMille was an influential Hollywood director who successfully spanned the silent and sound eras of film. Past winners of the award named after him include actors Jody Foster and Robert De Niro, and directors Steven Spielberg and Martin Scorsese.

By Jeff Mason
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - President Barack Obama has chosen former acting budget chief Jeffrey Zients to replace Gene Sperling as his top economic adviser, marking a shakeup in his advisory team while the White House struggles to gain traction for its economic agenda.
Sperling, a longtime economic adviser to Obama and to former President Bill Clinton, will stay through the fall to help with what are expected to be contentious talks with Congress about the budget and the U.S. debt ceiling. Sperling steps down on January 1.
Zients, a familiar figure at the White House, served two stints as acting director of the Office of Management and Budget, but was passed over for the top job.
"I am certain that in Jeff's hands we will continue to have strong leadership of our economic policy team and his advice will be critical as we keep moving this country forward and building an economy where everyone who works hard can get ahead," Obama said in a statement on Friday.
The president has tried to boost his public emphasis on jobs and the economy with tours this summer focused on housing policy and making higher education more affordable, but his message has been eclipsed largely by the attention in Washington on potential U.S. military strikes against Syria.
Sperling, who worked on tax reform and job creation measures during his White House tenure, was "was central to designing policies to help support the housing recovery and was a driving force behind our manufacturing agenda and our efforts to attract jobs and investment to the United States," Obama said.
"Gene's relentless work ethic, sharp intellect and ability to work across the (political) aisle have been instrumental in our efforts to build a better bargain for the middle class and reduce the deficit while also protecting the most vulnerable," the president said.
Sperling worked at the Treasury Department in Obama's first term before replacing Lawrence Summers as director of the White House National Economic Council.
The president's next major economic decision will be the selection of a nominee to replace Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke, and Summers is considered a top candidate.
Sperling is one of a handful of advisers who is intimately involved in that selection process, and the White House says Obama has not made his decision. An announcement is expected soon.
Beside the top OMB job, Zients was also considered for two Cabinet posts, secretary of commerce and U.S. trade representative, but those jobs went to Penny Pritzker, a businesswoman from Chicago and top Obama fundraiser, and Mike Froman, a White House adviser on international economics, respectively.

New and foreign diseases such as swine flu are usually over-hyped by the media. Notwithstanding that such foreign diseases do have the potential of causing great suffering and damage unless adequate and timely precautions are taken, the press often opts to overlook sufferings caused by other factors.
There are quite many things, other than swine flu, that injure and cause pain and anguish to Americans. Were you aware that every year more than 3,000 people die of fires in the country? Going by the assessment of CDC, deaths caused by fires are the fifth most widespread reason of accidental deaths in the US, with a large majority of accidents taking place in residential buildings.
The reasons that make residential properties susceptible to fire accidents are not difficult to guess. And, the most common and simplest cause is the use of wood for making homes. Of course, it would be quite impractical to consider building houses without using any wood at all, but we surely can take measures that minimize the use of fire-prone materials for building homes.
One such measure is to replace wooden siding with a far safer material, like Hardie plank siding.
What is Hardie Plank Siding?
Hardie plank, a comparatively new material for sidings, is easily the safest siding option that replaces wooden siding in homes. Its composition is a mix of synthetic and natural materials. It comprises of cement and cellulose fibers.
Here are the benefits of using Hardie Plank Siding:
Fire Resistant:
As far as safety is concerned, Hardie plank outperforms the customary materials of the kind of wood. It will be improper to claim that it's fireproof, but it surely is fire resistant, meaning it won't catch fire so easily. In the unfortunate incidence of any fire, people with Hardie plank at home get more time to react and that is a very valuable feature.
Green Material:
As we continue to get increasingly conscious of environments, most consumers do give consideration to that factor before buying any product. Yes, they like to opt for green materials. Hardi plank siding surely belongs to the category of green products. Hardie plank shouldn't cause an issue for those who love to care for Mother Nature. Cellulose fibers needed for its manufacturing are derived from the variety of wood that doesn't fall in the category of endangered spices.
When considering buying any household product the first question that comes to mind is its durability, and that holds true when considering a siding material. Obviously, no one likes to buy a siding material that crumbles soon, needing replacement every couple of years. Here, we are looking for strong materials that can survive many seasons of varying weather. Hardie plank is one such material that goes on and on. It doesn't last a decade or two but provides assured protection for fifty years!
Hardie plank is solid like wood and can bear severe shocks that ordinary normal siding materials are unable to withstand. Though it comprises of cellulose fibers, it remains most unfriendly with vermin and insects.
Homeowners looking for siding for their house can choose from a wide variety of options in today's market. You get sidings made from metal, wood and even plastics, among other materials. Each kind offers its own benefits and limitations, making it necessary for you to carry a comparative study of different options, keeping your budget in mind before you finalize one for your home.
It's important for you to select an appropriate siding, depending upon the weather conditions that prevail in the area where you are living. Next, you have to consider the appearance you would like to have for your house as well the budget you have for the purpose.
Plank siding is a popular kind of siding that is generally installed in straight flat rows. It offers many advantages. As far as appearance is concerned, it's quite versatile. You can pant it in wide range of colors. It is easy to replace and repair. When you want to provide extra protection to a particular part of your house, leaving the other part unprotected, you can very easily move it to the required location. It proves to be of great help to people living in areas that face wide fluctuations of weather.
This kind of siding has more advantages than metal sidings. Metal sidings being heavy are not portable and need a lot of maintenance. Moreover, metals are prone to getting rusted, making then undesirable for areas that face severe weather conditions. It's a better option, compared to masonry siding. A major drawback of masonry siding is its permanent nature which you can't alter to suit requirements. Though it offers ample protection against weather, it becomes useless when you want to change the siding because of damage caused by weather. Masonry sidings are extremely costly and generally not as good looking as other kinds of sidings.
Many people prefer to have fiber siding. While offering all the benefits of plank siding, fiber siding overcomes many of the disadvantages of the former. Plank siding being made from wood tend to begin rotting in sever weather conditions. Despite wood having processed to withstand different weather conditions, it can't bear severe weather conditions and gets prone to rotting in due course. Moreover, planks are more likely to be affected by rodents and termites.
Though you can prevent it, spending so much time for pest control can be quite irritating. Quite like planks sidings, you can easily move fiber sidings from one point to another. Moreover, fiber being a versatile material allows you to change its looks, making it a very practical siding material.
These days the two most popular sidings for homeowners are fiber siding or plank sidings. The reason is that these slidings can bear almost any kind of weather. If you are on the look out for a siding for your home, you won't regret having chosen any of these.

Curriculum Overview & Student Body
The curriculum of the Medical Laboratory Sciences is designed to teach the concepts and practices of laboratory science, and to prepare students for lifetime learning in biomedical science. Graduates pursue entry-level careers in research or diagnostic labs, as well as further education in graduate programs, medical school and other clinical specialties. MLS graduates work in hospitals, nonprofit research institutions and pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies.
Courses are offered in:
- Traditional areas of the clinical laboratory (Clinical Microbiology, Biochemistry, Histology, Hematology)
- Modern biomedical science (Immunology, Cell and Tissue Culture, Senior Seminar)
- Emerging areas (Biohazards and Emergency Response)
All courses are rigorous and employ a problem solving approach in both the theoretical and practical aspects. Several types of professional practice options are available to students toward the end of the MLS course of study. Students educated in the MLS program become valued members of professional teams dedicated to the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of disease.
Students may enter in the fall or spring semester, after completing 60 college credits and the appropriate prerequisites (see admission requirements). MLS is a daytime program. Most students complete the program in 4 or 5 semesters, but students can attend part time to compensate for time to work, family obligations and the like. Each student meets with a faculty advisor each semester to review progress and design an appropriate program to meet the individual's need. The major is suitable for transfer students who do not wish to lose credits for their previous work. A commitment to demanding (and rewarding) education is crucial to succeed in the MLS program.
Approximately 140 students currently pursue degrees in the MLS Program. They represent a wide ethnic and racial mix, including many recent immigrants to the U.S. Students have completed their first two years at Hunter, other CUNY 2 or 4 year colleges, American or foreign universities. Valued members of the MLS student body are working clinical lab technicians with A.A.S. degrees, wishing to improve their skills, and their positions in their work settings. The experience of these individuals enrich the MLS experience for faculty and students new to the medical lab. The small class structure allows close interactions among students and faculty, fosters friendships, and permits an individualized approach to learning.
Refer to the curriculum outline for a list of current MLS courses.

Mounties called to bust chaotic minor hockey brawl
Mounties in Stonewall were called in after a hockey game involving 14-year-olds turned ugly Sunday, both on the ice and in the stands.
RCMP say the incident happened just before 4:30 p.m. during the third period of a Bantam A minor hockey league championship game between teams from Stonewall and Lake Manitoba First Nation.
One of the referees may have been struck by one of the players, RCMP said, while some parents were fighting in the stands.
Peter Mandryk, president of Stonewall Minor Hockey, was timekeeping at the game and said it was the deciding game in a best-of-three series, which had not had any violent incidents in the two games prior. Mandryk said Stonewall went up 3-0 and things quickly deteriorated. He said a Lake Manitoba player kicked a Stonewall player and, when being escorted from the ice, "started pushing and shoving with the ref."
In the third period, Mandryk said, a skirmish took place in front of the Stonewall goal.
"Their biggest kid jumped our smallest kid and I guess was trying to get something going, they were rolling around on the ice and the linesmen and refs went in to break it up and our guys got our kid out of there. Our kids went to the bench and it was just LakeMan guys and refs skirmishing.
"It just looked like a big melee. Pretty unacceptable behaviour, in my opinion."
"It was pretty bad," he said. "Shortly after (the third goal) their first kid kicked one of our kids and got a match (penalty) for that and, on the way out, started pushing and shoving with the ref and got another match.
The game was stopped and approximately 100 people were cleared from the arena. Nobody was reported injured, RCMP said.
Hockey Manitoba president Peter Woods once again stressed an incident like this is considered rare when calculating the number of games played in the province in a season.
"(My reaction) is probably the same as everyone else," he said. "It's not an attractive part of our sport. We do recognize that we have probably have 30,000 members, 1,700 teams, and they've maybe played 30 games each, so you're looking at 25,000, 26,000 games a year and incidents like that are going to happen. It's part of the package and something we have to deal with, but they are few and far between."
RCMP spokeswoman Tara Seel said police are continuing interviews and said there are many "different versions of what happened."
"We're trying to piece together what exactly did take place and who's responsible," she said.
Seel said people were separated and removed from the rink, but no arrests have been made.
"I know that there were reports and complaints that the referee had been physically assaulted. I don't know the veracity of those because our members weren't on the scene. They're in the process now of getting statements and doing those interviews."
Attempts by the Sun to reach someone at Lake Manitoba First Nation were unsuccessful.
This story will be updated.

Thanks NECA, I was just thinking I needed more ways to convince my co-workers I'm a creepy weirdo. Now you give me this. Clearly I have no choice... This replica from "The Final Chapter" just debuted at the Toy Fair, so it's not on store shelves yet. Be patient my friend, be patient...
With "Hot Tub Time Machine" being a moderate success, director Steve Pink is taking aim at a horror comedy for his next project. "The Werewolves of Reseda" will chronicle the suburban lives of werewolves and how it makes their lives better.
With today's rough economy, even our favorite screen stars are feeling the pinch. That's why you can now find Jason, Freddy and Chucky in recent Burger King ads.
According to Production Weekly, "Wanted" director Timur Bekmambetov will be tackling a classic as he has signed on to direct "The Casebook of Victor Frankenstein". A recent novel by Peter Ackroyd, the story tells of the days when Victor Frankenstein meets the lovely poet Percy Bysshe Shelley.
Frank Darabont must be doing something right as AMC has ordered up six episodes of "The Walking Dead", which has yet to begin filming or even cast its main star.
Sure there is no script and apparently not even a green light but why the hell not start throwing out ideas for the sequel to this year's "Friday the 13th" reboot. And that's just what producers Michael Bay, Brad Fuller and Andrew Form are doing right now.

The medium-lift Osprey, proven in combat as a troop and equipment transport, could soon get a new mission: refueling other aircraft.
A series of tests in August and September has given aviation officials hope that the Osprey could be used to extend the range of other platforms, including helicopters and the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter.
The tests were conducted on the Marine Corps' MV-22, but also served as a "proof of concept" for the V-22 program as a whole, and would work with the Air Force's CV-22 variant, said Ken Karika, business development manager for the Bell Helicopter Textron and Boeing CV-22 team.
The Marine Corps and Navy requested the test, and it was performed on a leased MV-22, but the system is identical to what would be used on an Air Force Osprey, Karika said.
The first tests of the aerial refueling system under development by Bell and Boeing determined how turbulence from the Osprey's rotors affect the hose and drogue that deliver fuel to other aircraft, as well as how rotary-wing and jet aircraft react in the Osprey's rotor wash. A high-speed test for jet aircraft was conducted on Aug. 29 and a second, low-speed rotary-wing test on Sept. 23. Each type of aircraft requires a slightly different drogue, although it can be changed on the ground to meet the mission.
"The indications are that it's really a steady drogue back there," said Marine Brig. Gen. Matthew Glavy, assistant deputy commandant for Marine Corps aviation. "The Hornet pilots were really impressed with what they saw."
During the Aug. 29 test, two F-18 Hornets from III Marine Aircraft Wing out of Marine Corps Air Station Miramar, Calif., flew to Fort Worth, Texas, where the Bell Boeing team conducted proof of concept testing. No refueling occurred, but a water-filled hose was used to determine if a hose could be extended and retracted safely from an Osprey.
"If this thing is bouncing around, there is really no reason to go further," Glavy said. "But what we saw in this demonstration is it doesn't. It's a steady target."
The second test, with rotary-wing aircraft, also didn't involve a fuel exchange. But it proved that the drogue is steady when the Osprey has its nacelles — the engine enclosures — at 60-degree angles, rather than in the horizontal airplane mode, said Chad Sparks, the V-22 advanced derivatives manager at Bell Boeing.
The development is important, Glavy said, because it will enhance the capability of other aircraft.
"So we have a 450-nautical-miles F-35, and if I have a capability to do tanking both en route to the objective and for recovery, I have just taken that distance and increased it significantly," Glavy said.
The Osprey could carry as much as 12,000 extra pounds of fuel in up to three auxiliary fuel tanks that are already in use and standard for the Osprey, Sparks said.
Because most of the refueling technology already exists or is native to the Osprey platform, the V-22 could be outfitted on short notice for any number of missions.
"One day it could just carry troops or cargo. The next day it may be needed to operate as a tanker," Sparks said.
Ground crews would simply roll auxiliary fuel tanks into the cabin, bolt them down and the Osprey would be ready to go.
The next step is to discuss the fuel capacities, fueling rates, and level of integration with other aircraft that military officials want, Sparks said.

Murder trial begins for Rockefeller impersonator
He pleads not guilty to 1985 death
Murder trial begins for Rockefeller impersonator
He pleads not guilty to 1985 death
LOS ANGELES, Calif. —
Opening statements will get under way in the murder trial of Christian Gerhartsreiter on Monday.
Gerhartsreiter went by the name Clark Rockefeller, and spent decades impersonating a member of the Rockefeller family.
Gerhartsreiter has pleaded not guilty in the 1985 death of John Sohus in California.
Sohus and his wife Linda disappeared while Gerhartsreiter was a tenant at the home of Sohus's mother.
The prosecution's case is based on a bag of bones found buried in the back yard of the property.
Investigators tied Gerhartsreiter to the crime after he was arrested for kidnapping his daughter in Boston back in 2008.
The alleged crime happened years before Gerhartsreiter bought a home in Cornish, N.H. with his family.

Intel's new 530 drives are based on 20nm MLC flash and the brains behind the brawn come from LSI, in the form of the SandForce SF-2281 controller. Although transfer speeds will vary depending on capacity, the fastest 530-series drives will deliver read speeds of up to 540MB/s and write at 490MB/s. As for random performance, they boast 41k IOPS in random read and 80k IOPS in random write.
Intel also says the 530-series is its most power efficient storage product to date, which is hardly surprising, but it is good news for notebook vendors who will use mSATA units.

PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) — A hotel housekeeper discovered an injured 13-year-old girl and the body of her 2-year-old sister at an inn on the Oregon Coast on Friday, and police were searching for their mother.
Cannon Beach Police Chief Jason Schermerhorn said Jessica Smith, 40, of Goldendale, Washington, is a person of interest in the case and investigators want to make sure she's safe. He asked the public to be on the lookout for a 2007 Chevrolet Suburban that's gold and has the Washington license plate, APX 3141.
"We don't know if she's OK or where she would have gone," he said.
The 13-year-old was critically cut and flown to a Portland hospital, where she underwent surgery. Her name has not been released.
The chief declined to say how the 2-year-old died.
Smith and her children checked into the Surfsand Resort on Wednesday, the chief said. The resort website says it's just steps from the iconic Haystack Rock.
There was no sign of forced entry, the chief said, and the housekeeper discovered the children at 9:40 a.m. There were no adults in the room.
Court records show Smith's husband recently filed for divorce, Portland stations KPTV and KATU-TV reported. The documents also say she was denied a restraining order against him, KATU said. The chief did not address the marital status, but said police detectives were talking to the father late Friday afternoon in Washington state. He did not label the husband a person of interest or a suspect.
Schermerhorn said investigators were still talking to guests to learn if anyone heard something. He did not say if investigators believe the violence occurred shortly before the housekeeper discovered the children or hours beforehand.

Maybe I'm succombing, maybe I'm lazy, most likely I don't want to mess with it.
I found some instructions for nLite, a utility that will build a custom XP install, including the SATA drivers, but as I was looking through the new machine and checking out the utilities, I got a bit nervous. Apparently Toshiba won't support the install of XP and there are all sorts of audio and video drivers for the new laptop. I hate having to dig through and find them and I had an issue with my desktop actually with DELL specific drivers. I'm still not sure everything's right and I definitely had audio recording issues with it.
A laptop is just a tool for me. I'm not really entranced by the technology and I rarely do things just for the cool factor anymore. I'm too busy with too many production deadlines to want computers to do much more than just work for me. I'm slightly different with a VM or lab machine where I can tolerate some flakiness, I'm trying to figure something out or see how it works, etc. But with my main machines, I'm pretty conservative because issues with the stability or operation cause problems with the creative process.
And that's really what I do know.
So, I'm going to try and upgrade to Vista Ultimate, in place from Vista Home Premium, and see how it works. I don't have a lot of tolerance if I have issues, but I have an external USB drive that I'll use to store video and other files, so I'll have my work backed up if I need to rebuild the machine from scratch.
To some extent I'm being caught in the Microsoft machine, upgrading against my will because of new hardware. And the old software is so old, in this case 2001, that it doesn't run properly on the new hardware with SATA drives. I'm not thrilled, but I've had so many Microsoft guys tell me on the side that Vista works for them that I'll give it a chance. I think I'd have more complaints from them if it was unusable.
Already the authorization process isn't too bad. It's popping up when I don't expect it and it changes the way I work with things, but I'll give it a real chance over the next month or so and if it's an issue, I'll dig further into the issues with putting XP on the Toshiba, including calling Tech Support and seeing if they'll send me an image on a recovery disk.

Creating a sticky thread of all the formulas for different stats would be pretty sweet (Even real basic stuff like OBP and SLG). It could be something that would be locked and stickied, where whoever creates it could just post the different formulas and people could use it as a reference.
I really understand this stuff a lot better when i see the formulas laid out, i have a feeling im not the only one.

Remembering Cory Monteith
By: Linnea Crowther
5 years ago
It seems impossible that the news we woke up to yesterday could be true – Glee star Cory Monteith is dead at age 31. Yet for all our wishing that it was a hoax, the truth is that we've lost a young talent, one whose singing career was as unexpected as that of his TV character, Finn.
Finn's back story: the quarterback of fictional McKinley High School's football team, he's blackmailed into joining the glee club by the group's director. Singing in public is never what the popular jock expected to be doing, but as it turns out, he loves singing and performing. In real life, Monteith was an actor rather than a football star, but his fame as a singer was just as surprising as Finn's.
The Glee casting call asked actors to prove they could sing and dance as well as act. Monteith, a musical person and drummer but not a trained singer, did a funny routine using pencils to play Tupperware and wine glasses. It was cute, but it wasn't what the show's producers were looking for. Monteith, however, was exactly what they wanted. The handsome actor looked just like their vision for the singing quarterback, so they asked him to submit a second video – and sing for this one. Monteith amped up the cheese factor for an over-the-top rendition of REO Speedwagon's "Can't Fight This Feeling," and it won him the part.
For an actor with no background in musical theater, Monteith sure managed to win hearts with his songs. Here are a few of our favorites… what's yours?

Fifty-two Baltimore Ravens players know the next two weeks will be filled with questions about their teammate, No. 52. The Ray Lewis angle will be revisited and explored by reporters far and wide, and his peers don't seem to mind.
But let's make one thing clear: Super Bowl XLVII is about more than just Ray Lewis.
"We wanted to be here before (Lewis) said he wanted to retire," wide receiver Torrey Smith told reporters Monday. "We all want to win a Super Bowl. You know, Ray isn't the only guy here. He has one (ring) and we all know that this is his last shot at it. Ed Reed has never been to the Super Bowl. Terrell Suggs has never been to one. Anquan Boldin has never won one, he's been there. These are (who) I play for every day, we play for each other."
Quarterback Joe Flacco gently voiced the same message last week, and we doubt Lewis would disagree with the sentiment. This never has been one guy's mission, no matter how the story line is molded. If anything, Baltimore has played better team football and leaned on a wider cast of supporting stars than at any time during Lewis' storied run.
The Ravens have two more weeks to answer the Ray Lewis question, but it's not the only one worth asking.

text: When I ordered my license I mentioned to LiteSpeed we'd be coming up with some munin graphs of differences sadly didn't have any apache/cpu cacti graphs since cacti's much prettier we hope to get that done and see what SNMP functions litespeed has So as my promise heres our story. Now back in Feb I believe XenServ tried a trial of LiteSpeed, performed roughly same (per page load) we mostly host dynamic web sites like blogs and forums with XCache and Memcache. The most favorite part was no more 500 Errors randomly from apache 2.2 mod_fcgid. We did however like the stability, memory management and WHM/CPanel interface was quite clean functioning. We decided the cost was not worth vs our income on the server, shortly after one client started experiencing extreme bursting where people would refresh, etc and it'd just generally load up the system from a not so large site. Another site a Wordpress blog generating well over 20-30EA Req/sec from Litespeeds admin view. The issue boiled down to apache not liking backlogged external app requests I believe, or just not enough ram in general for apache we're quite happy with LiteSpeeds improvements for dynamic content delivery. Our hardware is a dual socket xeon (4 core) system w/one avail cpu socket. 4GB dual channel ddr ecc registered and SATA2 drives on gigE uplinks. We utilize a 2 core license from LiteSpeed as it was told that there is FastCGI optimizations. I do understand I see these graphs everyday and know more of the trend and some of our clients, I apologize for that. Also munin isn't very detailed however you should notice connections is smooth, ram is level and btw that was without PHP caching, now we run php caching and it's still pretty smooth, however it NEVER jumps up. Another sample image of apache, connections just skyrocket along with maxclients, this issue is gone since litespeed, we utilize memcache/remote mysql so of course connections goes higher naturally http://uploadpla.net/files/6310_qolci/harbl.xenserv.com-netstat-day.png Towards the end I was utilizing Apache 2.2 MPM_Event as another note, I spent well over a month trying to fix, the awful mod_fcgid only does 1 connection per process? So it always wants to spawn unless you allow lots of processes, and with XCache or any sort of caching like APC - bye bye ram, we'd need at least 6GB to run apache + mod_fcigd & Xcache, which may barely host our load compared to LiteSpeed 2 core license at 48/month plows through this load w/out issue, and helped us gain back ram to grow till we add more memory (Oh did I mention we were able to load XCache further more lowering load?) I hope you guys enjoyed my case study, I'm very unbiased coming from a dedicated Lighttpd user till we migrated to Cpanel for shared, I must say your product is a very scalable solution esp for high dynamic load cases. - William C.

Manchester aldermen decide daytime Bronstein Park ban will remainBy TED SIEFER
New Hampshire Union Leader
September 02. 2014 11:15PM
MANCHESTER — The Board of Mayor and Aldermen declined to block the police from enforcing a ban against the public using Bronstein Park during school hours on Wednesday, the first day of classes for the new year.
At its meeting Tuesday, the board rejected a motion from Alderman-At-Large Joe Kelly Levasseur that would have directed the police not to arrest anyone until the matter had been fully vetted by the aldermen.
Mayor Ted Gatsas and Police Chief David Mara indicated last month that they would start enforcing the ban against public use of the park in response to more than four dozen medical emergencies linked to the ingestion of "spice," a synthetic marijuana product sold at some convenience stores. The park is used by Manchester High School Central, as well as other schools.
The board's Committee on Lands and Buildings is set to hold a special hearing on the park ban today.
Levasseur on Tuesday said the board should take action now to prevent legal action against the city.
"I don't want somebody getting a ticket tomorrow, and having the ACLU come in and us having to defend this case," he said. "There's already people with cameras down there. I don't believe we can wait."
Levasseur has taken issue with Gatsas' response to the surge in spice-related incidents, successfully challenging the city's move to revoke the business licenses of three stores alleged to have sold the product.
Gatsas insisted that the ban on the public using the park during school hours was based on a city ordinance.
"This is not one that Ted Gatsas came up with. There are signs already up," he said. "Student safety, as far as I'm concerned, is the most important issue we can stress."
City ordinance 130.40 bans trespassing on school grounds during school hours. City Solicitor Tom Clark said the aldermen voted in 1969 to officially designate Bronstein Park a school facility for Central High.
But Levasseur said new data released by the Manchester Fire Department indicated that only three spice-related incidents occurred at Bronstein Park last month, contrary to claims that it was the primary site of the medical emergencies.
A map produced by the fire department shows ambulances were dispatched to numerous locations in the downtown area, and as far east as the Mammoth Road area, in response to adverse reactions to spice.
While a majority of the aldermen rejected Levasseur's motion on a voice vote, Alderman-At-Large Dan O'Neil, the chairman of the board, said a more "comprehensive plan" was needed to deal with the problem.
"These citizens using spice, we're never going to police our way out of any issue," he said. "This stuff is happening all over the city."
Mara agreed that the city needed to "deal with the root problem." But, he added, spice posed a unique challenge because of its uncertain legal status. "If we get an ordinance or state law, that's going to go a long way toward getting these people out of the park."
The debate came on the same evening that the board voted to support a motion from Aldermen Joyce Craig and Garth Corriveau to have city officials draw up an ordinance banning the use of spice products.

NEWPORT NEWS, Va. (AP/WWBT) - Fire crews pulled a woman from inside the cab of a tractor trailer as it dangled off the Monitor Merrimac Memorial Bridge-Tunnel Monday.
Virginia State Police say the tractor-trailer went out of control and struck the bridge Monday morning. The truck caught fire and the cab is hanging over the bridge that connects Suffolk and Newport News.
Newport News and Suffolk fire crews helped pull the woman to safety.
Now, the U. S. Coast Guard tells WAVY.com it is on-scene due to the potential of fuel going into the water.
I-664 remains closed southbound, according to VDOT. Northbound lanes reopened around 1:30 p.m. However, southbound lanes may be closed through evening rush hour.
Drivers should use the I-64 Hampton Roads Bridge-Tunnel or the Route 17 James River Bridge, instead.
Crews are now working to make sure hazardous materials don't make their way into the water, while engineers insure the bridge is structurally safe for traffic.

Menstruation, or a menstrual period, refers to the monthly process in which the uterus sheds blood and tissue because pregnancy did not occur.
Not having or missing a menstrual period is called amenorrhea. The types are:
- Primary—Menstruation has not begun in an adolescent around 16 years of age. Most females begin menstruating between 9-18 years of age, though the average is 12 years of age.
- Secondary—A woman who has previously menstruated misses 3 or more periods in a row.
The most common cause of secondary amenorrhea is pregnancy. In non-pregnant women, it may be due to a variety of factors.
Risk Factors
Factors that may increase the risk of amenorrhea include:
- Dramatic weight loss (which can occur from extreme diets, eating disorders, or excessive exercise) or dramatic weight gain
- Malnutrition
- Birth defects, including lack of female reproductive organs
- Chromosomal or hormonal abnormalities
- Certain conditions, such as a thyroid disorder or pituitary tumor
- Medications, such as certain contraceptives
- Emotional distress
- Uterine scarring
The main symptom for primary amenorrhea is the absence of a menstrual period in a female by age 16 years or older. The main symptom for secondary amenorrhea is 3 or more missed periods in a row in a woman who has previously had menstrual periods.
When Should I Call My Doctor?
Call your doctor if you:
- Have not had your first period and are aged 16 years or older
- Miss having your period
You will be asked about your symptoms and medical history. A physical exam will be done.
Your bodily fluids may be tested. This can be done with:
- Blood tests
- Urine tests
Images may be taken of your bodily structures. This can be done with:
Treatment will depend on what is causing amennorrhea. Examples include:
- Weight-related cause—A healthy caloric intake and exercise routine usually restores hormonal balance and menstruation.
- Birth defect—Surgery may be needed.
- Hormonal irregularity—Hormonal therapy may be needed.
- Emotional distress—Relaxation techniques, therapy, and exercise may help to decrease stress.
- Pituitary tumor—Surgery, radiation therapy, or medication may be needed.
Amenorrhea may or may not be preventable, depending on the cause. Follow these general guidelines to prevent amenorrhea:
- Maintain an appropriate level of body fat.
- Get help for an eating disorder.
- Treat conditions that can lead to amenorrhea, such as polycystic ovary syndrome, pituitary tumor, and hypothyroidism.

Do you work at a public library? Use this space to find and share ideas for TTW programs that are hosted through public libraries!
Views: 5926
We will most certainly have a gaming day to celebrate TTW. I'd like to offer at least one other program for TTW, but haven't narrowed my choices yet.
I've got 5 branches to cover so I will be doing 5 different programs. I definitely want to create a Wikipedia page and have a gaming night. I also will be doing an informational session on cyberbullying and social media privacy. Not sure about the other 2 yet
We do gaming every week so we will keep that up. We will also be making floppy disk notebooks. Still trying to come up with maybe one more project.
I am hosting a book discussion called Technology: A Novel Discussion. I am hoping that participants come ready to discuss their favorite technology-inspired book. If they don't, then I am MORE than prepared to discuss my favorite titles, such as Little Brother, Machine Man (not YA, but woah!), Feed, and others.
I like this idea! We generally have our book group the 4th Thursday of every month, and I am always trying to think of book ideas. Having a set theme like technology might bring in more interest rather than me just selecting titles from the teen advisory board input.
We are lucky enough to have a Media Lab--a Mac with software for video, photo and music editing. I am going to ask teens to come in and create something. I am planning on either having them draw a word out of a hat that they have to include, or draw a mystery object out of a box that they will have to work into their project. I'm going to post all of the creations on our website or Facebook page and have teens vote for their favorite.
I'd like to give each teen a prize for participating, but I'm not sure what to buy that is techie and inexpensive enough to buy in multiples. Do you have any ideas? I am also drawing a blank on what to name the program. This is always the hardest part for me!
We're going to use our Macs do do a video/photo editing program also. I hadn't thought about adding prizes, though. I love the idea about drawing ideas out of a box and showcasing them on your website. I'm looking forward to the movies that will be created using the books, rooms, and resources in our library.
Our Winter programs at Longview (WA) Public Library are leading up to a very special "Robot Garage" program, brought to us by the Seattle Museum of Flight. We will be featuring local young women from the HS Robotics Club who competed at regional levels.
Before that, we will highlight passions including writing, books, cooking, and even My Little Pony; Friendship is Magic bronies.
Here's our line up:
17-Jan 2012 Teen Video Challenge; meet local teen film-maker, Eric Nguyen
24-Jan Teen Writing Club Launch; published authors coach your work
31-Jan Iron Chef Longview! Judges: The Brits' Alice Dietz, Janice Stixrud, R.D.+
7-Feb Restless 2011, PG-13, 91 minutes
14-Feb My Little Pony; Friendship is Magic.
Brony Jeopardy, Cutie Marks Buttons, Valentines, Minus World Cupcakes
21-Feb Read Outside the Box! -- Readers Theatre (Teen Book Club's choice!)
28-Feb My Little Pony-Friendship is Magic-Friendship Express, 2012, NR, 110 mn
6-Mar TEEN TECH WEEK; Geek Out @ your library!
Museum of Flight brings "Robot Garage" (limit of 36)
BTW, I'm getting some pushback on the "geek/Passion" language, neither of which is positive with most local teens.
I want to know more about your MLP programs. A teen at my library recently approached me about doing this kind of program, and I had no idea what he was talking about!! He explained the basics to me, but please enlighten me about what you are doing! :)
Hello everybody!
I am thinking about having different activities for each day. The activities will consist of gaming, tech history, and an ebook workshop. I am also thinking of having a Pinterest or Publisher workshop. This will be my first Teen Tech week and I just started the new position this week!
I would like to offer a "Geek-Out Night at Your Library" to our area teens. This would be a lock-in situation from 3:30 - 9 PM. We will have game systems from our local video stores and games that are rated "E" for everyone or "T" for teen. The plan is to supply plenty of food (pizza, popcorn, and soda) and set up tournaments for the different games. This would be a great time for students to interact with each other as well as try out a game system that they may not have at home. Of course the teens will bring their own electronic devises and try each other's, that's half the fun of it!
I work in a middle school library. I plan to place "mystery" pictures around the library and have students try to identify them. Students love taking pics so I might have them turn in photos they have taken and display them in the library. Also, the student library council decided to have a gaming competition throughout the week. When the kids get involved in deciding what should take place it seems to be very successful

You think Batman's pretty cool, don't you?
Probably couldn't be any cooler, right? Wrong. Step outside of America, and you find a Batman who guns down bad guys with a revolver, and has naked sex with the ladies he rescues.
It's true, other countries have been working around the clock to improve our fictional heroes in every way.
Here are 9 ripoffs that are better than the US originals, proving you can create something awesome no matter where you're from or how limited your budget is, as long as you don't give a shit about copyrights.
#9. The Turkish Batman – Yarasa Adam ("Betmen")
The American Original:
As night looms over Gotham City, Batman and Robin rev up the Batmobile and stalk the shadows for the cowardly criminal element.
The Foreign Rip-Off: As the sun beats down on the Anatolian steppe, Betmen and Turkish Robin cruise around in a shitty sedan and pump hot lead into the cowardly criminal element.
The music sounds like a swarm of killer bees playing the sitar in an empty grain silo.
Why It's Better:
There's a lot to love about the Turkish Batman, namely his ability to do more with less. Whereas the American Batman cloaks his severe mental illness with gee-whiz gadgets and, well, a cloak, Betmen has no need for capes, technology, or subtlety. He knows that dressing up like a deranged trapeze artist and borrowing the wife's Chevy Nova for the afternoon will do way more to frighten felons than any bat-shaped airplane.
This is also the first of two foreign Batman movies on this list with nudity in it. You're off to a good start, rest of the world.
#8. The Indian Superman – Dariya Dil (1988)
The American Original:
In his 1978 Film, Superman apprehends those who commit crimes. The love of Lois Lane helps the superpowered Kryptonian maintain his humanity.
The Foreign Rip-Off:
In this Bollywood extravaganza, Superman and Indian Lois Lane (a.k.a. Indian Spiderwoman) use the power of dance to commit crimes against humanity.
Why It's Better:
To be fair, Dariya Dil isn't an Indian Superman movie at all (the only plot synopsis we could find online said it was a romantic comedy about tax evasion or something). But nonetheless, we dig its freaky take on the Superman mythos.
The problem with the American Superman is he's basically a god trapped in the mind of a crossing guard. His M.O. for crime prevention is hovering above the ground, arms crossed with an exasperated frown on his face.
Come on! We're talking about Superman here, continents shift when he yawns and oceans boil when he farts in the tub. But it's wasted on a guy who has the personality of a mannequin.
Why is that happening?
The Indian Superman has no such hang-ups. He'll dance like no one's watching. He'll canoodle with his girl at 5,000 feet. And–at the 2:33 mark–he'll use his superbreath to blow a criminal at the force of escape velocity into the vacuum of space, where the perp will orbit the Earth as a frozen corpse for decades. In short, Indian Superman just does not give a fuck.
#7. The Soviet Winnie the Pooh – Vinni Pukh (1969)
The American Original:
In 1966, the Walt Disney Company released a 26-minute short about A.A. Milnes famous bear searching for honey.
An icon and merchandising empire was born.
The Foreign Rip-Off:
In 1969, Soviet animation studio Soyuzmultfilm released an 11-minute short about A.A. Milnes famous medved searching for med.
Why It's Better:
Where do we begin? First off, the Soviet Winnie is way more macho – the Ruskie version replaces the American Winnie's foppish lilt with some hard, incomprehensible Cyrillic barking. He could be screaming about honey. He could also be screaming about Ivan Drago. Who knows? All we can surmise is that this cartoon was probably animated at gunpoint in a gulag somewhere.
Also, the crudely drawn marker backgrounds remind us of Worker and Parasite from The Simpsons.
#6. The Japanese Spider-Man – The Spiderman TV Show (1978)
The American Original:
A bite from a radioactive spider transforms dorky Peter Parker into the Amazing Spider-Man! With his newfound spider powers, Peter dukes it out with streetwise goons such as Doctor Octopus.
The Foreign Rip-Off:
A magical bracelet from a telepathic spider-alien transforms motorcyclist Takuya Yamashiro into the Japanese Spiderman! With his newfound spaceship and giant samurai robot, Takuya dukes it out with intergalactic fruitcakes such as Professor Monster.
Sound too absurd? Well, watch the show's intro and brace yourself for the best Spiderman theme song in any language.
It's amazing what a couple bottles of sake do for a children's show theme.
Why It's Better:
Perhaps the most infuriating aspect of our Spider-Man is his whiny self-doubt. Trust the Japanese to get down to brass tacks and just fucking nail the character's true appeal. It's like they said, "Screw that annoying pathos. This is a show about a man in a leotard who walks on the ceiling. We've gotta add some giant robots and take this shit to the next level."
"With great power comes great respons- oh hell, let's just give him a car."
#5. The Turkish E.T. -Badi (1983)
The American Original:
E.T., an adorable animatronic extraterrestrial, lands in a SoCal suburb and teaches a lonely boy that he has a friend somewhere in the universe.
The Foreign Rip-Off:
Badi, a midget wearing a stained turtleneck and a mask resembling an uncooked prawn, lands in a Turkish slum and teaches the audience that the universe is filled with unremitting horror.
Why It's Better:
In E.T.: The Extra Terrestrial, Spielberg made the titular character as cute, anthropomorphic and genital-less as possible – after all, a disgusting, inhuman, and massively endowed alien is no way to shill Reese's Pieces to the kids.
The filmmakers of Badi were unencumbered by franchise deals or a large budget and thus had no need to make the alien appealing to children. Thanks to inimitable Turkish special FX, Spielberg's plucky alien became a terrifying, shambling garbage pile:
What's so great about Badi is that the film realistically depicts humanity's first contact with aliens. Forget flying bicycles, glowing fingers and heartfelt moments. It's more likely we'll meet saggy-bladdered beings who fart smoke and scream like Tom Morello guitar solos. And like Turkish Elliot's Turkish family, we humans will run around, losing our goddamn Turkish minds.

CRYSTAL LAKE – The Crystal Lake Police Department is the fourth law enforcement agency in McHenry County to receive advanced accreditation.
The department recently joined the Sheriff's Office, as well as the Huntley and McHenry police departments, in earning the international distinction from the Commission of Accreditation for Law Enforcement Agencies.
The commission was formed in 1979 to address accountability, liability, performance and community partnership issues in police services.
To be considered for accreditation, Crystal Lake police had to demonstrate compliance with 480 standards to ensure the department was operating under a best practices model established by CALEA.
"This is more than just receiving a title," said Cmdr. Brian Karr, who also serves as the department's accreditation manager. "This provides a stronger defense against civil lawsuits, reduces insurance premiums and increases community support."
The accreditation ended a more than three-year process that started with the department signing a contract with CALEA in September 2009 and ended with an awards presentation in late March in North Charleston, S.C.
Between that time, police officials completed a review of the department's policies in order to comply with the guidelines. That included adopting policies and procedures to meet internationally accepted practices.
The accreditation process is a management model and blueprint for self-improvement meant to strengthen accountability within the department and the community, according to a news release.
Once the overhaul was complete, a team of assessors from CALEA completed their four-day, on-site assessment of the Crystal Lake Police Department by reviewing policies and procedures, management operations and support services. Group members also interviewed officers, city staff and residents for feedback.
The full commission later unanimously voted to award the department the advanced accreditation.
The department will have to submit annual reports showing compliance with the standards over the next three years. After the three years, the department can reapply for accreditation.
