TOKYO (AP) — Four fuel storage pools at Japan's tsunami-damaged nuclear plant have been without fresh cooling water for more than 15 hours due to a power outage, but the plant's operator said Tuesday morning it was trying to repair a broken switchboard that might have caused the problem.
Tokyo Electric Power Co. said that pool temperatures were well within safe levels at the Fukushima Dai-ichi plant, and that pools would remain safe for at least four days without fresh cooling water.
The utility was preparing a backup system in case the repairs didn't fix the problem, Masayuki Ono, an official at operator Tokyo Electric Power Co., told reporters.
"If worse comes to worst, we have a backup water injection system," said Ono.
Yoshihide Suga, the chief government spokesman, sought to allay concerns.
"In a sense, we have put in place measures that leave no room for worry," Suga told reporters in a regular press briefing.
The command center at the plant suffered a brief power outage before 7 p.m. Monday. Electricity was quickly restored to the command center but not to equipment pumping water into the fuel pools.
The utility was investigating the cause of the power outage and believes it might be due to problems with a switchboard, which it is trying to repair. At the same time, the company is preparing to connect another switchboard if repairs cannot fix the problem.
The temperature in the four pools had risen slightly, but was well below the utility's target control temperature of 65 degrees Celsius, TEPCO said.
The fuel pool for Unit 4, which contains spent and new fuel rods, had risen to 30.5 degrees as of 10 a.m. Tuesday from 25 degrees before the power outage. A common pool storing spent fuel for all reactors was at 28.6 degrees, while the Unit 1 pool was at 17.1 degrees and Unit 3 was at 15.9 degrees.
TEPCO said the reactors were unaffected and no other abnormalities were found.
The March 11, 2011, earthquake and tsunami destroyed the plant's power and cooling systems, causing three reactor cores to melt and fuel storage pools to overheat. The plant is now using makeshift systems.
Associated Press writer Malcolm Foster contributed to this report.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel tells senators he is sending about 200 soldiers from an Army headquarters unit to Jordan to assist efforts to contain violence along the Syrian border and plan for any operations needed to assure the safety of chemical weapons in Syria.
The 1st Armored Division troops are largely planners and will replace a similar number of U.S. forces that have been in Jordan for some months. They will include specialists in intelligence, logistics and operations.
Sending a cohesive headquarters unit will enhance the troops' ability to respond to any security needs, and will provide leadership personnel that could command additional forces if it's determined they are needed in the future.
The unit is based at Fort Bliss, Texas. Hagel was speaking to the Senate Armed Services Committee.

A new study out of Western University (London, Canada) illustrates the need for a lot more education around pharmacogenetics (PGx) -the study of how a patient's genes can affect drug reaction and dosage. PGx promises to optimize patient response to therapy, but this is the first study to really investigate how patients perceive this kind of genetic testing, and whether those perceptions differ when it comes to parents and their children. The research, led by Dr. Michael Rieder of Western's Schulich School of Medicine & Dentistry is published in the journal Pediatrics.
"Pharmacogenetic testing has become widely used and gene-based drug dosing is becoming a reality for a number of common health problems. This study confirms what we suspected; Whether or not you're a parent, your degree of acceptability of genetic testing was determined by your knowledge of it. That is to say -if you understand what the test is for, and the concept of gene-based drug dosing, you're far more open to it, than if you don't understand it," said Dr. Rieder, a professor in the Departments of Paediatrics, and Physiology and Pharmacology.
The researchers surveyed three groups including: 236 medical students representing those having greater educational exposure to PGx, 1,226 lay parents and 105 lay people without children. A second survey was completed by 229 parents. The surveys didn't use PGx but rather, asked about "DNA testing to guide therapy." The study concluded that the acceptability of PGx testing, either for oneself or one's child, seemed to depend on baseline PGx knowledge, but not on parenthood.
The main concern for all respondents was the need for informed consent. Other findings included:
- More acceptance for PGx when the disease was severe
- Strong desire/demand for separate consent for PGx testing
- More education about PGx needed in medical schools
- Acceptability of genetic testing didn't differ whether for the parent or the child
Dr. Rieder says PGx should take a lesson from pediatric oncology. He says health care workers in that division do a good job in the way they frame the discussions around care, treatment, and consent. "When they have to make a diagnosis, they spend a lot of time explaining what tests they're going to do, the risks, and what therapies are available. And they're successful. Their patients comply with treatment, they get involved in studies, they're informed, and they want to know what's going on."
The study was funded by Schulich Medicine & Dentistry. The other authors on the paper are Steven Zhang, a fourth year medical student at Schulich Medicine, and Drs. Bruce Carleton and Michael Hayden of the University of British Columbia.

The Institute of Propulsion Technology at the German Aerospace Center (Deutsches Zentrum für Luft- und Raumfahrt; DLR) in Cologne now has one of the most modern test rigs for researching low-pollution combustion. The HBK 1 high-pressure combustion chamber test rig was officially inaugurated today by DLR Management Board member Prof. Joachim Szodruch, the Director of the DLR Institute of Propulsion Technology, Prof. Reinhard Mönig, and the Technology Development Director for Rolls-Royce Germany, Dr Helmut Richter.
New propulsion units for civil aviation will be required to operate with greatly reduced levels of pollutant emission. The relevant European body, the Strategic Research Agenda (SRA) is talking about a reduction of up to 80 per cent in emissions of oxides of nitrogen. "To achieve this challenging objective, aero engine manufacturers are working on a new combustion chamber concept known as the lean-burn principle. This involves cutting combustion temperatures, the most effective way of achieving the reduction in emissions required on environmental grounds", stated Prof. Szodruch, who went on to add: "This is a field where DLR, with its scientific and applied engineering expertise as well as its facilities and infrastructure, can make a decisive contribution."
Partnership with Rolls-Royce
DLR and Rolls-Royce are breaking new ground in their efforts to assist development in this field of research. The lean-burn units for future generations of aero engines are being examined at full scale in a combustion chamber accessible by means of laser metrology techniques. Dr Richter had this to say on completion of the first series of tests: "The images from the test runs demonstrate a hitherto unrivalled quality standard in the operating characteristics of our latest burner developments. Our experts are really enthusiastic about the prospects afforded by this unique test rig. We can hardly wait for all the laser metrology equipment to be installed, which will enable us, in collaboration with DLR, to develop the next generation of burners for our propulsion units and aero engines."
DLR test rig for lean burners is unique in Europe
The optical combustion chamber in the HBK 1 facility augments another high-pressure combustion chamber used by Rolls-Royce in HBK 3, another of the test rigs at the DLR Institute of Propulsion Technology. In this HPSS (High Pressure Single Sector) combustion chamber, the emissions and operating characteristics of lean-burn units are measured across the entire operating range of an aircraft engine, from idling up to take-off speeds. This calls for air pressures of up to 40 bar. In the new BOSS (Big Optical Single Sector) combustion chamber in HBK 1, laser metrology techniques at an atmospheric pressure of 20 bar can be used to research the interaction of airflow and combustion as well as the role that fuel spray has to play in the process. The aim is to gain a better understanding of how pollutants are formed and ultimately to accelerate the development of low-emission combustion chambers. To this end, a test rig previously used for conventional combustion chamber trials has been updated and extended with an additional measuring section. The financial backing required for this test rig is being provided by DLR, while funding for the new measuring section is being provided by the aerospace research programme of the German Federal Ministry of Industry and Technology (Bundesministeriums für Wirtschaft und Technologie; BMWi) and Rolls-Royce.
This means that the test rigs operated at the DLR Institute of Propulsion Technology can be used together to simulate, at full scale, the large civilian aircraft engines in the Rolls-Royce Trent class. Engines in this class are used primarily in long-haul aircraft, whose emissions at high altitudes are very much the focal point of efforts to cut pollutant levels. To achieve the objective of creating "powerful and at the same time environment-friendly engines", the test rig and the research results obtained from it will be employed in German and European research projects.

OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) � A mile-wide tornado churned through the Oklahoma City suburbs, destroying homes for the second day in a row Monday, as part of a severe weather outbreak that was expected to spread in other parts of the Plains and Midwest.
A massive black-and-blue cloud dragged across the landscape just south of Will Rogers World Airport.
Television video showed debris from homes and businesses being carried aloft as the twister rolled through Moore, a community on the south side of Oklahoma City. There were no immediate reports of injuries.
In advance of the storm, the Oklahoma House of Representatives stopped work so Capitol employees could take shelter in the basement. Television and radio broadcasters urged residents to take shelter because the storm's strength and size.
"We're just waiting to see what happens. It's a mile-wide tornado. It's still grinding out," said Mark Meyers, a spokesman for the Oklahoma County Sheriff's Office. "We are currently on standby for tornado response. Whatever happens, we'll be ready to respond."
The strongest winds on earth � 302 mph � were recorded near Moore during a tornado May 3, 1999.
The Storm Prediction Center in Norman had predicted a major outbreak of severe weather Monday in Arkansas, Kansas, Missouri and Oklahoma.
Storms on Sunday killed two people near Shawnee, about 35 miles southeast of Oklahoma City. Gov. Mary Fallin earlier Monday took a tour of the areas hardest hit and she expressed concern that, with power out, Oklahomans might not receive warnings about the new round of storms.
Pottawatomie County Sheriff Mike Booth said a 79-year-old man, who was later identified as Glen Irish, was found dead Sunday out in the open at Steelman Estates, a mobile home park near Shawnee. The state medical examiner's office said Monday that a 76-year-old man, Billy Hutchinson, was found dead in a vehicle.
The office said both men lived in Shawnee, but the city wasn't hit by the tornado and it wasn't immediately clear if either or both lived in the mobile home park, which is near the city.

How to Use the Images Illustrations
Drawing 1 is from the Lewis and Clark journal entry for August 13, 1805. The entry describes the meeting of Lewis and his scouting party with the Lemhi Shoshones, including a vivid description of the pipe smoking ritual of friendship with a sketch of this unique pipe. To read about the ritual, please refer to Reading 4, Lemhi Shoshone: Customs.
At Fort Clatsop, during early to mid February, Lewis and Clark took time to document the flora and fauna of the coastal region. Drawing 2 is from the Lewis and Clark journal entry for February 13, 1806. The entry describes in detail the "species of bryer which is common in this neighborhood of a green colour which grows most abundant," the large and small fern.
On February 27, 1803, President Jefferson confided in a letter to Benjamin Smith Barton, a physician and naturalist at the University of Pennsylvania, why he chose Lewis to head the expedition, saying that "It was impossible to find a character who to a compleat science in botany, natural history, mineralogy & astronomy, joined the firmness of constitution & character, prudence, habits adopted to the woods, & a familiarity with the Indian manners & character, requisite for this undertaking. . . . Altho' no regular botanist he possesses a remarkable store of accurate observation on all the subjects of the three kingdoms, & will therefore readily single out whatever presents itself new to him in either."
While the journey was motivated by political, diplomatic, and commercial ventures, it was a scientific endeavor as well. In preparing for the expedition, Jefferson called on his fellow members of the American Philosophical Society (the oldest learned society in the U.S. dedicated to furthering knowledge of the natural sciences as well as humanities) in Philadelphia to instruct him in natural sciences, astronomical navigation, and field medicine. Most of the Lewis and Clark journals include records of meteorological observations, of the geographic position of the Corps, and a narrative description of the events of the day and sights along the way. Both Lewis and Clark provide concise and often exacting descriptions of the flora and fauna, geography, and inhabitants of the western reaches of the Louisiana Territory. Both included rough sketches of items of interest, primarily plants, animals, or material goods associated with the Indians encountered.
Most appropriately, the manuscript journals kept by Lewis and Clark on their travels are housed at the American Philosophical Society. The journals constitute the major source of information on the transcontinental scientific expedition of the Corps of Discovery in 1804-1806. Drawings 1 & 2 are included as part of the collection.
Questions for Drawings 1 & 2
1. What reason did Jefferson provide in his letter as to why Lewis was chosen as head of the expedition? Based on the journal entries above, do you think his description was correct?
2. Read as much of the text surrounding Drawing 1 as you can. Note that not only was Lewis providing a drawing of the pipe, but he described in detail its features and explained how it was used in ritual. Why do you think it was important to document the customs of the Indians encountered on the expedition? Who might find this information useful?
3. Examine Drawing 2 and read the text surrounding the drawing. Why might it be important for Lewis and Clark to document something as mundane as a leaf?
4. During the course of the expedition, Lewis and Clark collected and identified nearly 400 species of flora and fauna--most new to science. However, the expedition is rarely discussed in terms of its scientific achievements. Why might the other goals of the expedition overshadow the scientific achievements?
5. Today the American Philosophical Society (APS) houses many of the illustrations compiled on this historic journey and the world-renowned journals kept by the pair. What is the mission of the APS? Do you think it appropriate that they protect and preserve the journals and illustrations? Why or why not?
* The images on this screen have a resolution of 72 dots per inch (dpi), and therefore will print poorly. You can obtain a larger version of Drawing 1 & Drawing 2, but be aware that each file will take as much as 50 seconds to load with a 28.8K modem.

OTTAWA – The Queen has rejected an appeal to intervene in Chief Theresa Spence's liquids-only protest, but says she is taking "careful note" of concerns for the chief's health.
In a letter dated Jan. 7, obtained by The Canadian Press, Buckingham Palace tells a supporter of Spence that the chief should deal instead with the federal cabinet.
"This is not a matter in which The Queen would intervene," says the letter.
"As a constitutional Sovereign, Her Majesty acts through her personal representative, the Governor General, on the advice of her Canadian Ministers and, therefore, it is to them that your appeal should be directed."
The letter also says the Queen understands the concerns about the welfare of Spence, who is now well into her sixth week of protest, surviving on fish broth and tea.
"Her Majesty has taken careful note of the concern you express for the welfare of Attawapiskat First Nations Chief Theresa Spence who is currently on a politically motivated hunger strike in Canada."
The response is addressed to Jonathan Francoeur, a small businessman in British Columbia who took it upon himself to write to the Queen on Dec. 15. It is signed by Miss Jennie Vine, deputy to the senior correspondence officer.
A spokesman for Spence said he believed the letter to be a fake, but he also said he did not know Francoeur. He did not respond to questions about why he believed the letter was not genuine. Francoeur said he wrote the letter on his own initiative and not in an official capacity. There is a long Facebook trail starting Dec. 15 describing the process he went through to write the letter, decide the content and post it. Francoeur received the response earlier this week and said there was absolutely no reason to believe the response was a fake.
Joanne Charette, spokeswoman for Rideau Hall, also said the letter looked genuine.
A spokesperson for Buckingham Palace said they would not comment on personal correspondence.
"I was reading a (Facebook) post and it was explaining the cause," Francoeur said in a telephone interview, when asked why he wrote to Buckingham Palace.
"It said to support the cause, it would be good for somebody to write the Queen and the prime minister."
Francoeur said he was at home nursing a broken toe and had time on his hands to compose the letters. He has not yet heard back from Prime Minister Stephen Harper, so now he has written to the Queen a second time.
"I can't communicate with the prime minister," he said. "I wanted her to know."
Spence is camped out on Victoria Island, within site of the Parliament Buildings, where she says she will continue to protest until the Governor General and the prime minister meet all chiefs on the plight of First Nations people.
She announced last week she would boycott a meeting between the Assembly of First Nations and Harper because the Governor General would not be attending.
"We have sent a letter to Buckingham Palace, requesting that Queen Elizabeth II send forth her representative, which is the Governor General of Canada," Spence said in a statement on Jan. 9.
By that day, the response from the palace to Francoeur was already in the mail. The Queen's response was circulated among chiefs and Spence supporters this week.
While the letter may remove the palace from any official role in the controversy, it does send a signal to the prime minister that he bears great responsibility for the lengthy protest by Spence, said Isadore Day, chief of the Serpent River reserve near Elliot Lake, Ont.
"The prime minister needs to have a little bit of moral reflection," Day said.
The fact the Queen wrote back at all is telling, he said.
"What I hear in that letter is a recognition and a concern for her health. That message should get through to the prime minister."
A growing list of political leaders and chiefs has begged Spence to give up her protest in order to maintain her health and lead her people. On Thursday, chiefs from Ontario who have been among her most ardent supporters echoed that message.
"We think she's done her part, done her job. We don't want anyone to die," said Grand Council Chief Patrick Madahbee of the Union of Ontario Indians.
Spence did not speak to reporters Thursday, nor did her spokespeople return messages. But Michele Audette, the president of the Native Women's Association of Canada who has grown close to Spence, says the chief was feeling "lively" on Wednesday night.
Chiefs are reluctantly beginning to contemplate what could happen if Spence or her co-protester Raymond Robinson die from their hunger protests.
"We have no idea about what this would trigger. So we're scared about that," said Madahbee.
Many chiefs are hoping that elders and people with cultural ties to Spence will be able to appeal to her to eat solid food again.
But Spence has indicated she will persist until the prime minister and Governor General hold a meeting with a broad array of chiefs.
There's a small chance there could be a meeting Jan. 24, but Harper's officials have said that it would be a one-on-one with National Chief Shawn Atleo, currently on sick leave because of the flu and exhaustion from dealing with political crises.
"I really think there will be a huge backlash of some sort" if Spence actually dies, said Judith Sayers, a University of Victoria assistant professor with decades of experience working with First Nations.
So many First Nations people are newly engaged in daily politics these days because of the Idle No More protest movement, and they are upset about the way meetings last week between Harper and the AFN took place, Sayers said.
"I think it could be mayhem."

Clark Gregg and J. August Richards in the pilot episode of "Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D." (ABC)Link
J. August Richards loves playing poker, traveling and interacting with a fervent fan base, which is why his new role as cyborg killing machine Deathlok on "Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D." may fit him perfectly.
Any character in a Joss Whedon-related project — though "S.H.I.E.L.D." was also created by husband-and-wife team Jed Whedon and Maurissa Tancharoen-Whedon — could be on thin ice (ask costar Chloe Bennet, whose character Skye was recently gunned down), but Richards may have staying power. Whedonites recognize Richards as vampire/demon hunter Charles Gunn from "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" spinoff series "Angel." In the premiere episode of "S.H.I.E.L.D.," Richards introduced Marvel fans to an equally tough guy, Michael Peterson, who is transformed into Deathlok in this week's episode and must carry out deadly missions, despite them often being against his good nature.
The "T.R.A.C.K.S." episode is garnering good reviews (and here) for the show, and Hero Complex caught up with Richards to talk Deathlok, familiar confines, and being "chosen" for genre roles.
Hero Complex: How far in advance did you know that you could be coming back to the show after your appearance in the premiere?
J. August Richards: Not far in advance at all. Everything with Marvel is on a need-to-know basis, so I didn't officially know until the second episode I did, which I think was the 10th episode in the season. Information is carefully guarded over there. I definitely didn't know that I was Deathlok. I even had a costume fitting, and I didn't know what I was being fitted for!
HC: Did you do much research into the character once you found out who you were going to be?
JR: I did, but honestly, I feel like I've researched this role my whole life because I was a comic book collector as a kid. Once I found out that I was playing Deathlok, I unearthed my old comic book collection. I was going home for Christmas and I have a collection of thousands of comics. I was surprised to see that 90% of them were Marvel. So, I wanted to go through my collection and start there. Fortunately I had the "Guide to the Marvel Universe," all of them, and I looked up Deathlok and read a little about him there. I started doing research on the Internet, and then Marvel was kind enough to give me access to some of the older comics. I read some of the Michael Collins versions of Deathlok and got what I needed from that, but I also wanted to make sure that my research and my information were based on what I was doing on the show.
HC: So in the comics, there were many iterations of Deathlok, from a soldier to a pacifist. Where would you place Mike Peterson?
JR: Definitely, in my reading, I was drawn more to the Michael Collins version because this character is such a good man, such a good moral, decent person. For [Peterson] to do the things he's asked to do as Deathlok are very difficult for him. When I showed up to play the character for the first couple of days, I was still trying to find it. Obviously these are circumstances that I can't relate to, but I had to really use my imagination to get at what it would be like for Mike Peterson to be turned into Deathlok. Once I figured it out, it was like night and day, just a huge epiphany on what was going on internally for this character. I feel blessed that I've been asked to play this character because I always want to play the person behind the superhero. Even when I'm playing a lawyer or a doctor, I want to play a person. A human being. It's challenging physically, mentally, emotionally and even in the circumstances of the production. The makeup and the costumes. It's a huge challenge, but it's something that I love so much.
HC: Since you played Charles Gunn on "Angel" for years, you're no stranger to genre shows and devoted fans. Are these roles conscious choices?
JR: It very much is a conscious choice! I feel very, very connected to the science-fiction community worldwide. I do conventions, and I love doing them. What I love about the sci-fi community is that it's the most nonjudgmental, inclusive, diverse environment in the country. There's no group of people that is more diverse and inclusive. I thought about this a long time ago, and I feel like the work that I do, for me, incorporates the concepts of diversity and inclusion, and it's something that I'm connected to. I just feel like I've been chosen to do this work because I love the community so much. So whenever I get an audition to do something that is sci-fi-related, it makes me really happy because I realize that I can continue doing the work that I'm doing and continue meeting people all over the world. It does baffle my management team sometimes, though!

It's also really very demanding on your chops as an actor. It's not easy to personalize the struggle that Michael Peterson is going through. It's just such a challenge to say, "What would it be like if you were being controlled by this entity and you lost your freedom?" Personalizing that is not easy and it's a challenge, but I love challenges. I love roles that don't really have a template or a paradigm and force me to create using my own imagination… that really, really turns me on. When I read Deathlok's first appearance, the cover said "the world's most offbeat superhero," and I just love that so much. I can't entirely explain why.
HC: You're dealing with Jed and Maurissa, and not Joss, but you're still under the Whedon umbrella. How's the working relationship, and is it still familiar — or is it different show, different vibe?
JR: You know, working with Jed and Maurissa is just easy. Everything is easy. There's no drama. There's no ego. It's very comfortable. Obviously I've known them a long time, but you don't always get that as an actor in this business — working with people who are just easy and comfortable. I want to throw Jeff Bell in there as well. We've had a relationship for such a long time that it makes everything easier.
Also, working with Clark Gregg makes it easy. I often find that the No. 1 person on the call sheet sets the tone for what the set is going to be like, and because he is all about the work, everyone else is all about the work too.
HC: What do you see in your character's near future?
JR: I can't really comment on that 'cause there are things that I know and things that I don't know, so any answer that I give you would be incomplete and would get me in trouble! What I do know is that I love characters where I can't quite look to others to get cues from. I have to create this since he's never been done before, and I've never seen anything like it. It just requires me to show up and be on my game.

I didn't know much about Richard Kuklinski before seeing Ariel Vromen's The Iceman (named after the former's sobriquet as a contract killer for the mob). It's a solid enough movie: an interesting story competently executed though solid performances and an unintrusive camera. It's watchable, probably more so than most of what's currently out there, but what bugged came up after the film during a Q&A with the director. Someone asked him why he left out the spousal abuse. As an example, I found this interview with Kuklinski's family from a 2006 episode of Larry King Live where guest host John Roberts asks Kuklinski's wife of 25 years, Barbara, about that very topic:
JR: Barbara, you have said of Richard "There were two Richards. I never knew who would be walking in the door. He could be generous to a fault or the meanest man on earth." Tell us more about that.
BK: That's true. He was kind, considerate. You know he would have done anything for all of us, very generous gifts and flowers and the best dinners and nice wine. But when whatever twisted him, whatever happened, it didn't matter how good those times were because the bad was so bad then.
JR: And he abused you physically?
BK: He certainly did.
JR: What did he do?
BK: Stabbed me, broke my nose, lost consciousness many times, strangled me, would wake up, you know, at two o'clock in the morning with a pillow over my face and he would tell me that he decided that was the day I die.
Some pretty intense shit, right?, which says a lot about who this guy was and what it was like to live under his domination. Vromen's answer to why he left all of this out was that it would make half the audience walk out -- that is, inhibit our ability to identify with Kuklinksi. But the man was a casebook example of the sociopath, a person who can't identify, or can't empathize, with the feelings of another. So understanding through identification is a pretty stupid reason for making this film. How Vromen creates identification is by manufacturing a pressure-cooker setup for Kuklinski's behavior. When his mob boss (Ray Liotta) suspends him, Kuklinksi becomes increasingly agitated at home, blowing up at his wife, though never striking her. He soon apologizes, saying that she and their daughters (their son was left out of the film) are all that's important to him. It's okay in this fantasy land to slaughter a hundred men, but punching your wife in the nose or traumatizing your children is just going too far, despite his family's being around to tell the tale. Furthermore, by using the pressure cooking theory and mostly just showing the "generous side" of Kuklinski at home, the slaughter of all those men becomes perversely justified in the film as a quid pro quo for his distaff half. He kills for his love and the protection of his wife and daughters. You'd have to go back to the classic days of Hollywood crime flicks to see this level of mythologizing towards murderous psychopathic gangsters (or at least to Penn's Bonnie & Clyde). Ironically, it makes Kuklinksi's family accomplices to his crimes, rather than victims. His wife didn't care what he did as long as he brought home the bacon and made her feel like a princess. But as a fantasy, it's entertaining enough, I guess.

With so many titles to choose from, Netflix Instant's library can be overwhelming. So we bring you this biweekly column as a tool to cut through the clutter by highlighting some now streaming titles that pair well with the latest theatrical releases.
Looking to About Time, Ender's Game and Thor: The Dark World for inspiration, we've pulled together a selection of sci-fi romances, out of this world children's movies, and Marvel superhero stories.
About Time
From Love Actually's writer-director Richard Curtis comes a story of a young time traveler who uses his incredible ability to go back into his own life to find love. Domhnall Gleeson, Rachel McAdams and Bill Nighy star; Curtis directs. Read our full review here.
With About Time, Curtis uses science fiction to tell a truly unique love story. And if you like your romance with a slathering of sci-fi/fantasy, you'll go gaga for these rom-coms that offer heartsick heroines struggling with love, time travel, and mind-bending technology.
13 Going on 30 (2004) A gawky 13-year-old in 1987, Jenna wants nothing more than to be a grown-up. With the help of some wishing dust on her birthday, she wakes up to be a 30-year-old woman who is no closer to understanding life or love. Basically, it's Big but for girls. Jennifer Garner, Mark Ruffalo and Judy Greer star; Gary Winick directs.
Safety Not Guaranteed (2012) Aubrey Plaza stars as a jaded young journalist who is researching a a man who thinks he can time travel. But once she actually meets this self-proclaimed time traveler (Mark Duplass), she begins to let go of her skepticism and trust her heart. Jake Johnson and Karan Soni co-star; Colin Trevorrow directs.
TiMER (2009) This quirky and completely charming indie is set in a world where a special timer device installed in your wrist counts down to when you'll meet your perfect match. This dramatically effects the way relationships work, with some living it up until love comes along, and others fretting over how fast their fate is to be sealed. But Oona (Emma Caufield) is troubled by her timer's dedication to remaining blank. This conundrum gets all the more confusing when she meets a young man who she really connects with…but her timer remains unimpressed. So, she's forced to wonder if timers work or if they are just a self-fulfilling prophecy. John Patrick Amedori, Michelle Borth and Desmond Harrington co-star; Jac Schaeffer directs.

IBM wants to relieve Aussie traffic pain
Big Blue to bust bottlenecks
IBM is attempting to fix Australia's transport infrastructure woes investing in a Smart Transport Research Centre (STRC) based at Queensland University of Technology (QUT).
A recent survey conducted by IBM, the Commuter Pain Index, revealed that 81 per cent of drivers experience travel stress.
IBM will tip in software and consulting expertise that it has garnered from solving similar transport problems around the world including in Finland, the UK, Singapore and Sweden.
The STRC will be an incubator for proving solutions for Queensland, which will then be scaled and extended to the rest of Australia. Stated projects include research into predictive routes to allow people to plan the easiest way to their destination using real-time information, congestion reduction to minimise traffic queues, strategies for equitable road-use and smarter technology to dynamically manage special purpose lanes to optimise public transport. ®

Cities, groups plan Independence Day events today-Saturday
Several local celebrations have been scheduled to mark Independence Day.
Arkansas Health Center has planned a celebration for today. Center officials are predicting it will be "the best fireworks show this side of the Arkansas River."
Activities are planned from 5 to 10 p.m. at the center's campus, 6701 U.S. 67 in Haskell.
Jennifer Kelly-Santee, the center's special events coordinator, said the celebration will offer "great bands, great carnival food, free fun for kids and awesome entertainment."
"All monies raised from vendors and donations will benefit the residents through Friends of Arkansas Health Center, the nonprofit agency that provides assistance to residents," she said.
Scheduled to perform at the event are bands Exit 123 and Alize. In addition, two Miss Arkansas contestants will be participating.
Miss Greater Hot Springs, Brandi Hull, will present a twirling routine, and Miss Ouachita River, Abby Lindsey, will sing the national anthem at the start of the observance.
The city of Bryant's Independence Day celebration is set for Wednesday-Thursday at Bishop Park. Gates open at 3 p.m. each day, and activities start at 4 p.m.
The event is free, but parking will cost $10 per vehicle. Live entertainment will be offered both days of the event.
Entertainers scheduled are Jason Campbell & Singletree at 6 p.m. Wednesday; country artist Mark Chesnutt at 7:30 p.m. Wednesday: Michael Shipp on Thursday at a time to be announced; and Andru Phillips at 6 p.m. Thursday.
Festivities will include carnival rides, bounce houses, barrel train rides, fair foods and a free water cool-off area, according to the parks department.
The Bishop Park swimming pool and splash pad will be available for use during the event. A fishing derby and fishing obstacle course also will be available for all ages.
Also scheduled is the annual "Que'n In the Park" barbecue contest, benefiting the Boys & Girls Club of Bryant, Toy Troopers and the Drew Melton Scholarship Fund.
Bryant Fest reportedly will conclude with a "fireworks extravaganza out of this world."
While the official city of Benton's official fireworks display for the year won't be taking place until Labor Day weekend, the Benton skies will feature a lighting extravaganza on Thursday.
Alderman Kerry Murphy independently raised donations to fund a Fourth of July light show at the Saline County Fairgrounds.
"I asked the Saline County Fair Board to allow us to do this and Sen. Jeremy Hutchinson helped us get a grant from the Central Arkansas Planning and Development District to apply toward the cost," Murphy said.
Murphy said that grant, plus additional donations from the Saline County Republican Party, the Saline County Tea Party and others, totaled $8,700 to pay for the display.
"This is not just for Benton," Murphy said. "This is for all of Saline County."
He said he hopes to enhance the show with patriotic music.
"Everybody is welcome to come to this," he said. "The show is set for 9 p.m. and will last about 15 minutes."
The highlight of the Salem Fire Department's Fourth of July event on Thursday at the Salem Ball Park will be a fireworks display conducted at 8 p.m.
Activities will get under way at 4 p.m. and will include activities for children as well as adults.
A concessions stand will be open for people to purchase drinks and snow cones, and free hot dogs and watermelon will be served.
For a $5 wristband, children will be entitled to unlimited play in the kids' area, which will include sack races, a big slide, a bean bag toss, bobbing for apples, face-painting, a bounce house and other games.
A dunking booth will offer opportunities to dunk a firefighter or other county official. The cost is $5 for three shots.
All of the events are open to people throughout Saline County and visitors to the area, a fire department spokesperson said.
Lake Norrell residents will be holding the area's 25th Independence Day celebration on Saturday. Highlights of the celebration are a boat parade and fireworks show.
The parade will take place at noon. Participants are invited to decorate a boat using a patriotic theme or another theme of their choosing.
Participation is free to private individuals. Trophies will be awarded for the best boats in both the themed and patriotic categories.
The fireworks will be shot over the lake around 8:45 p.m. and may be viewed on either the shoreline at the landing, or on the lake from a boat.
For more information about the parade or to pick up registration forms to participate, contact Jamie Reed at 326-8125; stop by Dock 38 at Lake Norrell; or call Saline County Justice of the Peace Barbara Howell at 681-7577.
Reigning over the festivities will be Terry and Betty Saugey, who were named Lake Norrell Man and Woman of the Year at an earlier fundraiser.
The Saugeys have volunteered their time helping their son and daughter-in-law, John and Phyllis Saugey, with live auctions held in the community for the past 10 years. The Saugeys also have financed the building of a new pavilion at the Lake Norrell Community Center.
The couple was honored at the 13th annual fireworks fundraiser with a trohpy and gift. Their names will be added to a plaque that hangs in the Lake Norrell Community Center.

Honda Motorcycle & Scooter India, Honda's wholly-owned motorcycle Indian subsidiary, has announced its intent to essentially double its capacity in the country's rapidly growing motorcycle market. Expanding on the company's second plant in the Tapukara Industrial Area of Rajasthan, HMSI also plans on now building a third production facility in the Bangalore area.
Both of these plants will produce 1.2 million units each when at full capacity (the second Tapukara plant currently does 600,000 units per year), bringing HMSI's total production capacity in India to 4 million units per year. To put things in perspective, Honda's production levels in India are about eight times the total motorcycle market in the United States of America…for all manufacturers.

SANTA BARBARA, Calif. -
UC Santa Barbara used a stifling defense and a 19-0 second half run, to ease past visiting Idaho on Thursday night, 54-40, ending a three-game losing streak.
UCSB (8-11 overall, 5-6 in the Big West) trailed 37-35 when Vandal guard Tihon Johnson made a leaning jump shot just inside the free throw line with 10:36 remaining in the game. Idaho (7-14 overall, 5-5 in the Big West), however, did not score again, until just over a minute remained in the contest. Guard Joe See made a long three-pointer to give the Gauchos a 38-37 lead with 9:29 remaining, and that started the 19-0 surge that gave UCSB an insurmountable 54-37 advantage.
Guard Chrismen Oliver, who finished with a game-high 17 points, had five points during Santa Barbara's rally. Forward Cameron Goettsche, who had 13 points and a team-high nine rebounds, had six points in the 19-0 stretch, including a pair of slam dunks. UCSB, which finished with 10 steals in the game, had seven in the second half and five in the final 10 minutes.
In addition to the seven second half steals, the Gauchos limited the Vandals to just 15 points and 30.0% shooting in the final 20 minutes. For the game, UCSB outshot Idaho 47.6% to 35.6%. The Gauchos also outrebounded the Vandals, 32-25, and although they committed 12 turnovers, only three came in the second half.
"I thought that just might have been our best defensive game of the year," commented UCSB head coach Bob Williams. "We played strong, inside and out, and really took some things away from them (Idaho). They are a very patient team and they force you to play 30 or more seconds of defense on each possession. Tonight, we stuck with it and played defense for whole possessions and that was a nice thing to see."
Guard Dandrick Jones paced Idaho with 15 points. Forward Anton Lyons had a game-high 10 rebounds.
Oliver had three steals to go with his game-high 17 points. Freshman guard Alex Harris had eight points, all in the second half, and career-high four steals.
UCSB remains at home for one more game before hitting the road for three. The Gauchos host Utah State on Saturday night in a 7:00 p.m. game at the Thunderdome.

Amazing what this forum can do.
You believe evolution and there is no evidence for that. Where is the fossil record of a half man half ape. I've only ever heard about it in reading.
As some of you may be aware, I haven't been around much on the forum of late... actually, not at all, since about June. Real Life has kept me fairly busy. See, I met this woman on WWGHA about that time. We were both in the process of getting divorces, and we fell in love. I quit my job, moved from Houston to Detroit, and since about Christmas we've been "a thing", as the young uns say. I have no doubt that our future life together will be as rich and amazing as these past several months have been.
Seriously, you guys are the meanest people I have ever met. I hope you are happy and feel really good about yourself.
Will there be any of these coming along? we will only roast a few, not many.
Get your facts straight, X. You *did* pray to biblegod to bring you a goddess, only gawd got the details messed up: You asked for a blonde. Tough noogies, babe.
No offense, but it will be a cold day in hell that this small town boy visits Detroit. Typically, Canadians just pass through with their doors locked, windows up, and lots of gas.
Congratulations! I hope you brought your guns.

Life has changed for Eric Dane since welcoming daughter Billie Beatrice last year — and, as a result, so has the actor's love for wife Rebecca Gayheart.
"I don't know if there's any change more significant that a human being can make than that of a woman becoming a mother. There's no change more dramatic," the Grey's Anatomy star, 38, tells PEOPLE during the opening of IWC's A Night in Portofino.
"You know, I'm a hundred times more attracted to her now and I love her exponentially more than I did before. It's just great to see her be a mother."
And while the couple "have a little bit of help," Dane reveals Gayheart happily takes on the responsibilities of motherhood.
"Rebecca is really hands-on," he says. "There's not a lot that goes on that she's not a part of."
But Gayheart isn't the only one who loves spending quality time with Billie. Dane — who admits the "unconditional love" he receives from the 14-month-old who "doesn't know any better" is the best part of fatherhood — enjoys spending afternoon father-daughter dates at the park.
"I like watching her laugh," he shares. "Seeing this kid laugh when you put her on the swing, or slide down the slide with her, it's just … She owns me."
Billie has even won the hearts of the family's beloved brood of dogs — in particular Nellie the chihuahua.
"The second we brought Billie home she elected herself the Buckingham Palace guard," he laughs. "When Rebecca was feeding Billie, she would sit under Rebecca's feet. Any time anyone got near Billie, even if it was me, the dog would just start barking."
Set to spend their summer moving into their brand new home a few miles down the road, there is nothing Dane is quite looking forward to like enjoying his days off poolside with his family.
"I just want to teach my daughter how to swim and sit by the pool and gear up for next season," he explains.

Dare to add dairy when mixing up holiday cheer
In the grand history of American drinking, the combination of dairy and booze makes for a dubious chapter. In fact, I would guess that the category of drinks mostly likely to be described as "gross" would have to be those that involve milk or cream.
Consider, for starters, this infamous trio of dairy-based cocktails: the Mudslide (that chain-restaurant staple of vodka, Kahlua, Irish Cream and cream), the Grasshopper (the vaguely embarrassing mix of green crème de menthe, crème de cacao and cream), and the White Russian (the choice of every "Big Lebowski" fan with vodka, Kahlua or Tia Maria and milk). Tasty to some, but not exactly the sorts of concoctions you build a rich legacy upon.
If there is ever a time when milk and spirits should come together in harmony, it is for the holiday eggnog. But even this tradition has long swerved in a bad direction. When I see those cartons of eggnog making their annual appearance in the supermarket, I get queasy.
"I think dairy-based cocktails have such a mixed reputation because they're easy to flub," says Dan Searing, whose book "The Punch Bowl" (Sterling Epicure, 2011) includes a section on milk-based punches. "Balance is even more important than usual with such a rich ingredient."
Now, I love Searing's book and I've been making drinks out of it for over a year and a half. But time and again I've intentionally skipped over that particular chapter, until the weather turned cold. I had been in the mood for a new type of holiday punch, and after experimenting with just about every ingredient under the sun, I figured, why not milk?
When dealing with dairy cocktails, there are basically two kinds. One group calls for milk or cream as an ingredient that you recognize in the final drink. A classic example is the Alexander, whether with gin, brandy or something unique, such as pear liqueur.
The other group of dairy cocktails mixes milk with citrus. It curdles, separating out the whey, removing the fats and leaving the proteins. Yes, I can hear your reaction: "Milk and citrus? Ewww."
"Separating the curd from the whey can be a little scary the first time, especially when you've always been told that curdled milk is gross," Searing says. "Have faith in the wisdom of our forefathers. The first milk punch I made was from Ben Franklin's famous recipe." In fact, milk punches date back to the reign of Queen Victoria.
History, of course, is all well and good. But the pressing question on milk punches would seem to be: Why? Milk -- or at least whey -- brings a fascinating, creamy texture without being too ... well, milky. It's sort of like the memory of milk without the coating, cloying feeling in your mouth.
"What it means for your palate is a silky texture that's different from unseparated dairy but deeply pleasing in its own way," says Searing, who is also a spirits specialist with the American Still Life Collection, based in Ashland, Va., and partner in Room 11 in Washington.
Here, I've included recipes for a classic centuries-old milk punch using brandy and rum, as well as a new-wave milk punch that calls for blanco tequila and St-Germain elderflower liqueur.
Searing preaches patience when you work with milk punches. Make sure all the solids are strained out, even if you have to strain through a clean dishcloth or a pillow case (as Searing says he does). "It doesn't pay to try to rush straining out the curd once separated. Just remember to allow time for gravity to do the work," he says. Searing also recommends using organic milk for cocktails.
If fooling around with curds and whey isn't really your style, I'd stick with the less labor-intensive dairy libations. Foremost among these in December is, of course, eggnog. Almost all recipes call for eggnog to be made in a large batch, like a punch. But I like to make my eggnogs by the glass, the same way I'd make someone a bloody mary.
In 19th century Baltimore, eggnog was a New Year's Day tradition. Young swells went door-to-door sipping the local version, which called for a mix of Madeira wine, brandy and rum. I have included a delicious by-the-glass recipe for this.
I also revisit the Grasshopper, one of those infamous creamy drinks. To be fair, the Grasshopper began life as a New Orleans staple. But the problem with the Grasshopper now is that contemporary crème de menthe is horrible. I saw that firsthand a few weeks ago, when I tasted a crème de menthe from the 1940s which was transcendent.
At home, I ditched the crème de menthe, in favor of Branca Menta, the minty, 80-proof cousin of the bracing Fernet Branca from Italy. I also eschewed the heavy cream that's often called for in this type of cocktail, going with light cream instead. The result: More of a true cocktail than a dessert in a glass. It was the polar opposite of gross.
Let us hope we'll never live to see a version sold in a carton in the supermarket.

- Lotus news
Grosjean must cool down - Boullier
- Drivers:
- Eric Boullier
- |
- Romain Grosjean
- Teams:
- Lotus F1
Lotus team principal Eric Boullier says Romain Grosjean must stay out of trouble at the start of the remaining races this season, but says the Frenchman's position at the team is not yet under threat.
Grosjean has been involved in eight early-race incidents this year and was banned from the Italian Grand Prix after triggering a multiple-car shunt at Spa-Francorchamps. In Japan last weekend he crashed into Mark Webber at the second corner and was given a stop-go penalty, ruling him out of a decent finish.
Boullier said Lotus was aware of Grosjean's "hot-headed" on-track behaviour when it employed him, but expected him to calm down as the season progressed. Asked if Grosjean's position at the team for 2013, which has not yet been confirmed, is under threat as a result of the accidents, Boullier told the Sun: "No, not yet. But I expect to see an improvement.
"Romain is privileged enough to be driving a car fast enough to qualify at the front of the grid. If you look at his career, he was always a little bit hot - a hot-headed driver. But I thought if he got some confidence, then he would cool down.
"Obviously, Formula One is not as patient as the junior categories and we saw that in Spa where there was a spectacular accident. It is not about fixing things like the car set-up, it is about trying to make the kid confident and self-aware so that he controls his starts."
Grosjean said he misjudged the gap to Webber at Suzuka because he was trying to avoid an accident with Sergio Perez, who he was running wheel-to-wheel with through turn one.
"Since Singapore, I've been trying to be really cautious at the starts and it's been all the more frustrating to be involved in an incident in Japan," he said. "When approaching the first corner, I was watching Sergio [Perez] on my left to make sure there was no contact with him. I didn't expect such a big speed difference between me and Mark [Webber] braking into the corner, we collided and that was it. It was a stupid mistake.
"Mark came to see me after the race and was obviously not happy, but I apologised and we have to move on. I've sat down and looked at things again with the team; for sure it's still an area we need to improve. We're clearly focusing on this area for the next races."

Swanson vs. Roop provided an early candidate for Side-Punchface of the Year. Props: UFC.com
Remember how last night, you invited your non-MMA fan friends over to introduce them to our sport? You spent the past week talking about how Chael Sonnen is one of the best trash talkers in professional sports, and how technical and talented these fighters were. You figured that after three fights that were guaranteed to be exceptional, your friends would be won over to MMA fandom. Then you'd continue to drink and be merry all night, and we'd all meet up here today for our traditional post-UFC event GIF party where we all high five over how awesome the fights were.
Well, it didn't quite work out that way. Instead, you found yourself doing damage control as you watched three fights worth of sloppy brawling, wall and stall and Chael Sonnen's
blatant swaggerjacking of homage to "Superstar" Billy Graham. You tried to convince them that the fights are usually nothing like this, and that these fighters gassing out and the end of the first round are world class athletes. Eventually, one of your friends said "I bet Pacquiao would destroy ANY of these guys" as the rest of your friends grabbed their coats and promised they'd call you next time they wanted to watch the fights.
Okay, so last night sucked. But we've been planning this party all week, and we'll be damned if we cancel it at this point. So grab an alcoholic beverage, put on your gaudiest Affliction shirt and join us for our traditional post-UFC event GIF Party.
As always, praise be to Zombie Prophet at IronForgesIron.com for the GIFS.

Scott Peterson gets death for killing of wife and fetus
Scott Peterson has been sentenced to death for killing his wife and their unborn child. Before pronouncing sentence in Redwood City, California, the judge denied a defense request for a new trial.
The defense argued that jurors improperly experimented with the boat prosecutors say Peterson used to dump his pregnant wife's body in San Francisco bay.
The jury that convicted Peterson recommended that he die for the crimes committed more than two years ago. Peterson was shackled at the waist when he came into court this morning. Family members from both sides were there as well.

MOSCOW (AP) — Russia's President Vladimir Putin has signaled his readiness to review new bills seen by critics as part of the Kremlin's crackdown on dissent.
Putin promised at a meeting with the presidential rights council late Monday to have another look at a treason bill, which was passed by the Kremlin-controlled lower house last month. Critics said the bill is worded so vaguely that it would allow the government to brand any dissenter a traitor.
Current law describes high treason as espionage or other assistance to a foreign state damaging Russia's external security. The new bill expands it to include moves against Russia's "constitutional order, sovereignty and territorial and state integrity."
The bill, drafted by the Federal Security Service, the main KGB successor agency, also changes the interpretation of treason to include activities such as financial or consultative assistance to a foreign state or an international organization.
Putin agreed Monday that it's necessary to exclude a possibility of loose interpretation.
"Let's review it and think it over," Putin said. "I agree that there must be no room for a broad interpretation of treason. It must not refer to issues that have no relation to treason."
He also said there is no need to rush a much-criticized draft bill that makes it a criminal offence to insult religious feelings.
Putin's statements appeared to signal a softening of a tough line against dissent he has taken since inauguration for a third term in May.
A series of massive opposition protest following contested elections in Russia last year have posed the most serious challenge to Putin's rule.
Parliament has responded by passing a raft of laws aiming to curb dissent, and authorities have also arrested a number of opposition leaders and other activists, in an attempt to derail further protest.

White Sox beat Marlins 5-3 to complete sweep
White Sox beat Marlins 5-3 to complete sweep
May. 26, 2013
CHICAGO (AP) — From the infield to the outfield, the Chicago White Sox are playing much better defense than they did during their listless start. And it's no coincidence that the wins are coming in bunches now.
Dayan Viciedo and Alex Rios each threw out a runner at the plate, and the White Sox beat Alex Sanabia and the Miami Marlins 5-3 on Sunday to sweep their weekend series.
"I've just always believed you've got to be able to play defense so you don't have those things happen," manager Robin Ventura said. "You know the game changes and guys are still on base, you're still down an out, so we just like our guys to stay with it."
The White Sox have won five of six and nine of 12 to climb back to .500 for the first time since they were 4-4 through April 10. Dylan Axelrod (3-3) benefited from a two-run homer by Adam Dunn and a tiebreaking two-run double from Alejandro De Aza while earning his third consecutive victory.
It was the first three-game series sweep for Chicago since it won three in a row at Minnesota in September.
"Every win is very important. Every win means a lot," Rios said. "Sweeping teams like this, you have to do it. You have to sweep teams like this and keep it going for the next games."
Sanabia returned to the mound for the first time since cameras caught him spitting on the ball during a start against Philadelphia last Monday. He said he didn't know it was illegal, and it looks as if Major League Baseball has no plans to discipline the 24-year-old right-hander.
Sanabia (3-7) pitched into the seventh inning against the Phillies to end a personal five-game losing streak. But he was unable to sustain that success against Chicago (24-24). Then he said after the game that he was headed to the disabled list with a right groin problem.
"As of right now there is no point to continue to pitch or what not," he said. "It is only getting weaker. I don't want to make it worst and be something serious instead of something minor."
Sanabia also said the spitting incident had no effect on his performance.
"I didn't think about it," he said. "To me it wasn't anything serious."
Dunn drove the first pitch he saw in the first inning over the wall in left for an opposite-field shot that snapped an 0-for-17 rut. The big slugger, who is playing through a back issue, has six homers in his last 12 games and 12 overall this season.
De Aza came up with a two-out drive into the gap in left-center in the second, lifting the White Sox to a 4-2 lead.
Marcell Ozuna, Justin Ruggiano and Nick Green each had two hits and an RBI for Miami, which has dropped five straight and 12 of 14.
At 13-37, the Marlins are off to the worst 50-game start in franchise history and the poorest in the majors since the 2006 Kansas City Royals had the same record, according to STATS. No NL team has started this slowly since the 1987 San Diego Padres were 11-39.
Sanabia allowed four runs and six hits in four innings.
Ozuna, Chris Coghlan and Ruggiano started the second with consecutive singles to bring home one run, but Coghlan was easily cut down by Viciedo while trying to score on Ruggiano's base hit into left field. The throw beat Coghlan to the plate, and Hector Gimenez held on when the center fielder made an attempt to dislodge the ball.
Rios bobbled Ruggiano's single to right in the sixth, then recovered in time to throw out Ozuna in a close play at home. Marlins manager Mike Redmond came out for a brief argument before returning to the dugout.
"The second one, we have to do a better job of running the bases," Redmond said. "If we were a little more aggressive rounding third that shouldn't even been a play so then you leave it up to the mercy of the umpire on bang-bang play."
Rios tacked on an RBI single in the eighth to extend Chicago's lead to 5-3, giving the White Sox some momentum going into four straight games against the crosstown Cubs beginning Monday night.
"I definitely don't think we've played our best baseball," Dunn said, "and if people think that we have I think they're crazy because we started out playing terrible defense. Offensively, we just haven't really got it going, but yet, we're right in the middle of it."
Axelrod was charged with three runs and six hits in 5 1-3 innings. Matt Lindstrom, Matt Thornton and Jesse Crain then combined to get the ball to Addison Reed, who worked the ninth for his 17th save in 18 chances.
Crain pitched a perfect eighth to run his scoreless streak to 20 consecutive outings covering 18 1-3 innings. Reed has converted his last seven save opportunities.
NOTES: Marlins reliever Wade LeBlanc pitched three perfect innings. ... The White Sox traded minor league INF Drew Garcia to the Colorado Rockies for a player to be named. The 27-year-old Garcia hit .222 with 12 RBIs in 24 games for Triple-A Charlotte this season. ... Ventura said C Tyler Flowers (back spasms) was available, but he wanted to hold him out as a precaution. Flowers has missed three consecutive games. ... White Sox LHP Chris Sale, who was scratched from his start on Wednesday due to mild shoulder tendinitis, remains in line to start Tuesday against the Cubs. ... Miami faces Tampa Bay on Monday afternoon, with Marlins RHP Jose Fernandez (2-2, 3.31 ERA) opposing RHP Jake Odorizzi (0-0, 5.40 ERA). ... White Sox LHP Jose Quintana (3-1, 3.48 ERA) faces Cubs RHP Jeff Samardzija (2-6, 3.25 ERA) on Monday night.

Study: Men and Women Have Different Triggers for Addiction
Researchers at Yale University found men and women have different triggers that activate the areas of the brain associated with cravings and addictions.
The researchers conducted functional MRI scans of 30 cocaine-dependent individuals and 36 control subjects who were recreational drinkers. They found that stress typically sparks these areas of the brain for women, and drug cues set-off these same brain sensors in men.
"There are differences in treatment outcomes for people with addictions who experience stress-induced drug cravings and those whose cravings are induced by drug cues," said Marc Potenza, professor of psychiatry at Yale, and lead study author. "It is important to understand the biologic mechanisms that underlie these cravings."
Potenza believes that these results prove that women with cocaine dependence may benefit more from therapies that focus more on stress, while therapy for men could be tailored to include cognitive behavioral therapy or 12 step programs based on the values of Alcoholics Anonymous.
The study is published in the latest online issue of Journal of Psychiatry.

text: Let's start this off by saying I'm not going to spend a lot of time comparing Robin Hardy's 1973 "The Wicker Man" with his latest film "The Wicker Tree". Surely enough people out there have grouped "The Wicker Man" amongst films such as "Rosemary's Baby", "Don't Look Now", and many others as a paramount example of prestige horror. It's a movie that many genre fans and critics point to as an "excuse" for genre films or to show horror detractors that, yes; these movies are worth their salt. But this isn't a review of comparing this unofficial/spiritual "sequel" to its noteworthy ancestor.

This was intended for Ramblings and Photos weekly challenge, but I missed the deadline.
Doesn't mean I can't share it anyway! :)
I applied a slight vintage action. I played with it more after this, and I found a few different levels of color, ranging from all b&w to full color, and this was my favorite.
What do you think?
