More StrikerS SS03. As this is an information heavy track, corrections would be greatly appreciated.
04 - Scaglietti no Ajito Shimai Tachi
04 - Scaglietti's Hideout: The Sisters
Dieci: Nove, Sein, you're here again?
Sein: Ah, Dieci...
Nove: What, did you come here to make a comment?
Dieci: Not really...
Sein: Nove, you shouldn't be so snippy/argumentative/combative to our younger sisters.
Nove: It's just...
Cinque: She's right, Nove. To me, you're always such a good child...
Dieci: Ah, Cinque-nee, you're finally awake.
Cinque: I'm still pretty beaten up/in pieces though...
Dieci: Both your spine and upper body parts need to be repaired. Otto is currently working on it.
Cinque: I got damaged pretty seriously and I'm giving you guys so much trouble...
Sein: What? You shouldn't say that.
Deed: Ah, Sisters, you're all together.
Wendi: O ~su! Heard Cinque-onee is already awake!
Cinque: Ah... Wendi, Deed, I'm sorry I let you worry.
Deed: It's nothing.
Wendi: No no, seeing that you're going to be all right now, it's all good, it's all good! Right, Nove?
Nove: Don't come and talk with me all the time. It's annoying.
Wendi: That's mean! You're so cold ~su!
Deed: Cinque-neesama, can we talk for a moment now?
Cinque: Mm? No problem, I have nothing to do right now.
Deed: Otto and I have almost no memories of the originals. The matter of our sisters is also unclear to us, so...
Sein: Oh right, the two of you were made by "Pure Culture" weren't you?
Wendi: "Pure Culture"?
Nove: You too, Wendi.
Cinque: Nove, explain it to them clearly.
Nove: Mm. Us Numbers are born in two ways: Clone Culture and Pure Culture.
Wendi: Oh~
Nove: Sette and I, Cinque-nee and Uno-nee, we were all made by Clone Culture. The raw materials for the copies were original humans.
Deed: Okay.
Nove: And the rest of you were made by Pure Culture. For a base, he used offsprings from artificial insemination that he had combined with suitable genes.
Dieci: Deed and Otto were born from the same genes.
Deed: Yes, I heard about that.
Cinque: And, while clones easily display special characteristics, it has problems with production efficiency and cost. They're to obtain the special skills the originals possess, creating models specializing in one art.
Wendi: Ah, like Nove's "Air Liner" and Cinque's "Detonator".
Cinque: Culturing is for mass production. It's hard to obtain desired abilities but their production is stable.
Deed: Sein-neesama, how about you?
Sein: I was made by Culturing, but I had a mutation. My "Deep Diver" is an accidentally-produced ultra-rare ability, don't you think? Hee hee hee~
Dieci: Are our sisters from 1 to 4 a little special?
Cinque: That's right. I'm not too sure on the specifics either, but those four are somewhat special existences for the Doctor. They greatly inherited the Doctor's genes...
Deed: I learned something new.
Cinque: To change the subject, Deed, Wendi, I'd like to hear what you young ones have to say.
Wendi, Deed: Yes.
Cinque: The outside world... do you want to see it?
Wendi: Ohh...
Deed: I wonder...
Wendi: Sisters, what about you ~su?
Dieci: It doesn't really mean much to me, all of that.
Sein: I have some interest~... and I don't have any~, haha.
Nove: For me, as long as Cinque-nee is there, I'm fine anywhere.
Sein: Ahaha, because Nove likes Cinque-nee, right?
Nove: Leave me alone!
Deed: However, I'm the same. As long as I'm with Otto, I'm fine anywhere.
Wendi: Me too. As long as it's a place where I can freely do stuff with my sisters, any will do ~su.
Deed: The Doctor allowed me to be born... I'm very grateful for it.
Wendi: Mmhmm
Cinque: I see...
Quattro: Hai hai, Cinque-cha~n.
Sein, Nove, Dieci: Quattro
Wendi: Hi ~su!
Deed: Thanks for your hard work.
Quattro: If our pure and naive youngest sisters become troubled from this sort of talk, that would be ba~d.
Cinque: Ah... Sorry Quattro, but I just wanted to hear their opinionséthoughts...
Quattro: Umu~... though I'm the older sister based on Numbering, just because Cinque-chan was born a little earlier you act like you're the older sister.
Cinque: That`s not my intention at all, please forgive me...
Nove: Wait, Qua-nee.
Quattro: Even though, you have a child-like figure with a flat chest.
Cinque: Um, you, that's horrible, Quattro! Figures and chests aren't related to this!
Quattro: Ahahaha, I wonder~
Sein: Qua-nee, about that, of course Cinque-nee worries quite a bit about her childlike physique.
Cinque: Sein, even you...
Dieci: The proper adjustments to the maintenance pod are complete. Let's go back, Cinque-nee.
Cinque: Ah, let's.
Nove: Shall I carry you?
Cinque: It's okay, I can walk by myself.
Nove: Mm.
Quattro: I happen to be on my way out too. Let me take you there.
Cinque: I'd appreciate it.
Dieci: Well, please do.
Cinque: Haa... I'm sorry little sisters; I will be sleeping for a while in the days ahead. It looks like my new body won't be completed before the next battle.
Deed: Don't mind it.
Sein: Take it easy.
Cinque: Work well together, little sisters. Come back safe...
Quattro: That's not it, Cinque-chan.
Cinque: Ah, right. Let's meet again in our new home.
Sein, Nove, Dieci, Wendi, Deed: Yes!
Quattro: Bye bye~
Deed: Cinque-neesama, although she spoke openly and cheerfully...
Dieci: Her vitals and power weren't too stable...
Sein: She worries about it, doesn't she? Our welfare...
Nove: It's because of them! Urgh! That headband-wearer and that orange-head! They're why Cinque-nee's in such pain...
Deed: The counter-measure group for the special forces is made up of just Wendi and I. With Nove-neesama, we'll be up to three people.
Wendi: Ah... that's right.
Deed: Let's pay them back, Nove-neesama.
Nove: You don't have to say it. With my IS, "Break Liner", I'm going to crush them.
Dieci: Good luck.
Sein: You should have your weapons tuned-up.
Nove: Yeah.
Deed: I'm leaving too.
Dieci: Nove... has found her reason for fighting, hasn't she...?
Sein: It's because she's so simple, that kid.
Dieci: Wendi, how about you?
Wendi: Well, while Nove is like that, we were born at the same time, so she's only my older sister by Numbering. We have many things to worry about, but I'll try my best to watch over Nove ~su, okay? What about you two?
Sein: For me, we~ll... As long as my sisters are healthy and safe, that's good, right? Ah! And the Doctor too, of course.
Dieci: Same with me... well... it's something like that...
Sein: Ah... Lu-ojousama, Zest-sama, and Agito-san... I hope the three of them are fine.
Dieci: Mm... I wonder how they are...

You know...combining the information that Uno was one of those created from a clone, and the note that Uno, Due, Tre, and Quattro were special to the Doctor, that sort of implies that Uno is actually an Opposite Sex Clone of Jail Scaglietti, doesn't it?

Oh cool, more background on the Numbers. Thanks for the translation, Password. About the clones thing, I recall reading that Nove is a(nother) clone of Quint, which would make sense given that her combat style is similar to Subaru and Ginga's. So the question remains: are Cinque and Sette clones of named characters?
On the topic of TVTropes, one of the recent edits mentioned the new Sound Stage released at Comiket76. Any info about its contents yet?

The way the "we're neutral" lines keep going on and on, its like a broken record. I swear they must use the same words every time!
At the moment it's all packing chaff and nothing new. I wonder if there's anything in those discs that us hardcore fans regard as meat. :/

Has anyone actually deciphered the songs used in Nanoha? This kinda blew my mind a wee bit.
Spoiler for Tamura Yukari - Hoshizora no SPICA:
It's not crazy, the lyrics were written with these intentions. I can see it from the on going mentions across the theme songs and imagery in the animations. That and I've been chatting with the footnoter for hours x_X;

Slowly but surely, we are reaching the end of StrikerS SS03...
08 - Kodai Belka Yami no Sho no Ishi to Shugo Kishi to
08 – Ancient Belka: YnS (Book of Darkness) AI and the Guardian Knights.
Rein: Ah, this… I'm seeing a dream again, the same dream as always. The age of old Belka at war, all I can do is watch. It's as if watching someone's memory from far away, the same dream. The same person standing in the middle of the dream is always that lonely looking, silver haired woman.
Reinforce: It seems that this war will last a very long time.
Signum: So it seems.
Rein: Standing there is Signum, Shamal, Vita-chan and Zafira. The entire Yagami family Guardian Knights
Shamal: It's been a long age of war and our period of activity has been long too; it'll be over two years now.
Zafira: Two years and a half!
Reinforce: The Blazing General, Knight of the Lake, and Azure Wolf, have you ever thought to yourself this? This continuing age of war, has stretched from our oldest memories and surpasses our combined hundred year existence/history, yet this fighting has never ended once. The sky and sea are filled to the brim with warships; and the earth is littered with weapons and the spilt blood of corpses.
Zafira: In order to satisfy ambition/goals, fighting is quickest method.
Signum: And thus lose their lives in the process. Humans are truly hard to understand.
Shamal: But we aren't all that different from the weapons that humans have created.
Zafira: Yes…
Shamal: But it seems that our current Meister seems to be much wiser/intelligent than previous Meisters.
Zafira: Rather than complete the YnS, the Meister has chosen delay completion to continue using us for as long as possible it seems.
Reinforce: I'm sorry, everyone.
Signum: No, it's not something that you should worry yourself with.
Shamal: Just having you awake, comforts us greatly.
Zafira: And this war, our current Meister's self-restraint, cannot last for all of eternity.
Shamal: One day, the Meister will want to complete the YnS for their own benefit.
Reinforce: That reminds me, I don't see the Iron Scarlet Lord anywhere.
Zafira: Vita eh?
Signum: She's probably alone, looking at the sky again.
Shamal: Even though all there is in the sky is dark clouds and warships.
Signum: Vita, YnS is worried about you.
Shamal: Return to us.
Vita: Shut up. I don't listen to your orders outside of battle.
Reinforce: Vita…
Vita: I told ya to LEAVE ME ALONE!!!
Shamal: Vita-chan…
Reinforce: As usual, the Scarlet Iron Lord is harsh.
Shamal: Sorry about this, YnS.
Signum: We'll give her a good talking to.
Reinforce: No, don't reprimand her. I know that child hates me.
Signum: It's not just you. She refuses to let anyone into her heart.
Shamal: She'll fight with us and protect us but she won't let herself get close to us.
Reinforce: She's a gentle child. I would like to let her live more freely but our cursed circumstances won't allow even that. It's my fault that I choose the Meister, and cause you so much grief. I'm sorry.
Signum: Don't apologize. We are but a part of you.
Zafira: This is also our fate.
Signum: Until we break/die, we shall simply continue to fight.
Shamal: When we finally do break/die and sleep, we can finally be at peace, hopefully.
Reinforce: Yes… Scarlet Iron Lord, Vita.
Vita: YOU AGAIN! GET LOST!
Reinforce: If you look east past the castle, there's a small narrow gap in the clouds where you can see the sky… and there aren't many warships either.
Vita: Urg…
Reinforce: I'm sure there's a beautiful sky to see.
Vita: Keh…
Signum: She… just cut the telepathic link.
Shamal: We need to scold her about this.
Reinforce: Its fine. As I suspected, she doesn't want me around. No matter what battlefield we are called to the sky is the same; darkness, dull cloudy weather and polluted air. I really wanted to show her and all of you, the blue bright sky at least once.
Signum: It won't be any good if you drive yourself into worry and exhaustion. Don't worry about it anymore.
Shamal: As long as you lead us and order us on as usual…
Reinforce: Yes…
Rein: The Guardian Knights in the dream… seem so scary and hard to get close to…
Vita: Damn it…
Rein: All I can do is watch. From behind, that woman called the YnS, seems so lonely…
Hayate: Rein's dreams, you say?
Mariel: Before it seems she was having normal dreams but this time…
Hayate: It might be the same left over memories I experienced long ago. My linker core is melded with the original Reinforce, and Rein's linker core is born from my own core so...
Mariel: You're saying that the memories and emotions have been left behind? That sounds like an occult/supernatural/unnatural phenomena to me.
Hayate: Well, I am pretty unnatural myself. It was a Lost Logia after all.
Mariel: Hayate-chan, that's not true…
Hayate: I'm sure there's nothing to worry about but I'll come by earlier to pick her up.
Mariel: Oh no, Vita will be by soon, I'll get her to take her. She says she wants to visit Zafira to see how he's doing.
Hayate: I see, if that's the case, please do. Rein…

Love how she looks like she's dying, but I would be too if I were trying to sing that. Pulled it off decently.... Then again, I've only heard like two three [lmao I forgot about Iwao Junko's bossa cover album] and a half ['cause HIMEKA only sang part of the song, or so was shown] covers of the song, including the May'n one and I'd love to forget THE LION's cover....

Description: Michael Rader, who was honored as a journeyman smith June 2006, is best known for creating dramatic swords and daggers with woodwork that is beyond compare. Recently, he put his attention to creating chef's knives. The results are exceptional.
Like his hunting knives, this chef's knife was pre-tested for edge flex and cutting ability before assembly. The nakiri is a traditional Japanese knife shape ideal for chopping fruit and vegetables. The edge is double beveled, like a Western knife. Though sometimes called a vegetable cleaver, the thin edge geometry makes it a precision tool, rather than a Japanese equivalent to a meat cleaver.
The blade has been antiqued using Wayne Goddard's "mustard" protective finish. This attractive finish helps prevent rust and makes the knife easy to maintain. The bolster is integral -- a technique that, while common in production knives, is very rare in handmade knives due to the difficulty of implementation. The handle is formed from Hawaiian curly koa wood and has box elder burl accents. The wood has been stabilized so that it will hold up well under the rigorous demands of either a home or commercial kitchen. The knife has perfect balance and feels exceptional in the hand.

Immigration Reform and Control Act
The Immigration Reform and Control Act (IRCA), implemented as of November 6, 1986, made employers responsible for verifying the employment eligibility and identity of any employee hired to work in the United States. Potential employees who are not current citizens or lawful permanent residents may need to apply for Employment Authorization to establish eligibility to work in the United States. University departments hiring faculty, staff, temporary, graduate or student employees partner with Human Resources and/or the International Services office to ensure compliance. The Employment Eligibility Verification form (I-9) must be completed to document a hired employee's eligibility to work in the U.S. However, hiring managers have a responsibility to determine whether a person is eligible to work prior to starting an employee in a job.
Saint Louis University prohibits discrimination against persons because of national origin and ethnicity against U.S. citizens, U.S. nationals, and authorized aliens. Additionally, the University does not discriminate against persons because of citizenship status against foreign nationals with proper work authorization including permanent residents, temporary residents, refugees and asylees. University personnel will not hold Individuals to higher documentation standards than the IRCA requires to establish identity and employment eligibility.
The following procedures are to be used by the hiring manager or his or her designee:
1. Inform the selected applicant at time of job offer that Saint Louis University employs only individuals who provide employment eligibility verification.
2. Advise selected applicant that (a) original documentation of his/her choice from those authorized by the INS must be presented in Human Resources prior to their first day of work, and (b) an inability to submit original documentation as specified on the I-9 and to complete the I-9 form will invalidate the job offer.
3. Verify the eligibility of the candidate to work in the United States.
a. For Full-time faculty and full-time and part-time regular staff, the SLU Hiring (People Admin.) system asks the applicant to answer the following question: "Do you have the legal right to work in the United States?"
b. Part time/adjunct faculty, temporary staff, graduate assistants, and student workers do not complete an online application. Departments must ask this question of the applicant and document the response in writing prior to hiring the person for the position.
c. When rehiring someone to work at the University, the employee must re-establish eligibility to work in the United States if their prior, verified work authorization has expired.
4. When a candidate for a job indicates that they are not a U.S. Citizen or permanent resident, they must contact the Office of International Services, DuBourg Hall Room 150, 314-977-2318, to obtain the appropriate authorization to work before their first day of work. The Office of International Services assists with determining whether the person has the appropriate Visa/Authorizations to work in the United States. (For rehired international employees, see "Rehires" section below.)
5. All hires are required to visit the Human Resources office in the Wool Center, 3545 Lindell Blvd.-1st floor prior to or on their first day of work to complete applicable paperwork. A "receipt" will be provided to the employee indicating that the required forms have been completed. The employee should return that receipt to the department/hiring manager or business manager. Upon receiving this receipt, the employee may begin work.
6. A Human Resources representative will complete and sign the Employer section of the I-9, reviewing the produced documentation to verify employment eligibility.
7. The I-9 and state and federal tax forms are matched with the hiring proposal or Electronic Personnel Action Form (EPAF) submitted by the hiring department and entered in the Human Resources Information System.
Human Resources must update the I-9 form and reverify work eligibility for rehired international employees prior to starting work. New calendar year tax forms will need to be completed if more than a year has elapsed since previous employment.
Rehires are required to complete a new I-9 form if the original I-9 form was completed over three years ago. New calendar year tax forms will need to be completed if more than a year has elapsed since previous employment.
Social Security Numbers
A valid social security number is required for all employees. In the event that a new hire needs to apply for a social security number, the application receipt will be accepted as a temporary document for purposes of new hire processing. However, the employee must present the actual social security card in Human Resources within 90 days of the date of application for the card. Failure to present the card could result in termination of the job assignment.
Remote Hires
Employees hired to work at a remote or off-site location may not be able to present original documents to a SLU Human Resources representative for inspection prior to their first day of work. If the employee is employed through a temporary employment agency, the agency must complete the Form I-9 on behalf of SLU. The employee is still required to present original documents to the temporary employment agency. If the employee is not employed through a temporary agency, the university can authorize a qualified person to act as an agent of the university for the purpose of completing the Form I-9. The hiring unit should contact the Human Resources Department, 314.977.8589, to identify a person who is knowledgeable about the Form I-9 to whom the employee could present original documents. The form I-9 and tax forms will need to be completed prior to or on the first day of employment at the University. The remote hire process applies only to employees who will work at a site that is not within a reasonable driving distance from the main University campus.
International hires working at a remote location are required to contact the Office of International Services, DuBourg Hall Room 150, 314-977-2318, to obtain the appropriate authorization to work before their first day of work.
Discovery of unauthorized employees
If the University learns that an employee whose documentation for the I-9 form appeared to be in order is not actually authorized to work in the United States, the employee will be contacted and provided with the opportunity to present appropriate I-9 form documentation proving eligibility to work in the U.S. If the employee is unable to provide documentation establishing eligibility to work, employment will be immediately severed.
Departments failing to fulfill their role in this compliance effort will be responsible for payment of any resulting penalties or fines that may be incurred.

DENVER—Denver-based Biofuel Energy Corp. has eliminated about 45 full-time jobs at its ethanol plant in Fairmont, Minn.
The company's vice president and general counsel, Mark Zoeller (ZEHL'-ur), said Wednesday that an adjacent grain storage facility will continue operating with about 15 remaining employees. He says the company had about 135 employees before the cuts.
The Fairmont plant had stopped ethanol production in September amid high corn prices and lower prices for the corn-based fuel additive. At the time, the company said it wouldn't make any changes to its operations team so it could restart the plant on short notice. The company now says it expects the plant to remain idle until this year's harvest season.
Another plant near Wood River, Neb., is operating normally with full staffing.

PITTSBURGH -- The days in between Stanley Cup playoff games provide plenty of time for rest ... and tinkering.
Back to work at Consol Energy Center less than 20 hours after their shocking overtime loss to the Flyers, Penguins coach Dan Bylsma decided to shake up Pittsburgh's power plays.
Neither Sidney Crosby nor James Neal were working on Pittsburgh's top unit, which went 0-for-3 against the Flyers.
Those penalty kills, as highlighted in this video, during the second and third periods were the key to keeping the Flyers in the game.
Instead, it appears that the Penguins are looking for a two-pronged attack on the power play, hoping to spread out the talent to make for two potent units. Forward Steve Sullivan was also moved back to the point on one of the units.
Sullivan was previously featured in an all-forward power play for Pittsburgh, which they used briefly until he went down with an injury in the final week of the season. That could be back in the works, as well, which would be music to the Flyers' opportunistic penalty killers ears.
As you know, a working power play can mask almost any inefficiency in playoff hockey.
The Flyers, of course, were 1-for-1 on the man-advantage, with Brayden Schenn capitalizing on the Flyers' only opportunity to knot the game at 3-3 in the third period.
Schenn became the Flyers' first rookie to post three points in a playoff game since Ville Leino did it in Game 5 of the 2010 Stanley Cup final against Chicago.
Trivia: Can you name the six other rookies to have posted a three-point playoff game? Aside from Leino, they are: Andy Delmore, Peter Zezel (4 pt game), Brian Propp, Mel Bridgeman, Andre Lacroix, Rosaire Paiement. Honestly, I didn't even know a guy named Rosaire Paiement played for the Flyers.
CARDIAC KIDS: Game 1 was the Flyers' sixth comeback in which they erased a three-goal deficit in the playoffs. Here were the other five games:
Flyers 4 BOS 3, 5/14/2010 – Game 7 Eastern Conference Semifinals
Flyers 5 WSH 4 (OT), 4/10/1988 – Game 4 Patrick Division Semifinals
Flyers 5 EDM 3, 5/22/1987 – Game 3 Stanley Cup Final
Flyers 6 TOR 5, 4/17/1977 – Game 4 Quarterfinals
Flyers 4 ATL 3, 4/14/1974 (OT) – Game 4 Quarterfinals
The Flyers are now 35-37 all-time in overtime playoff games.
Want more comeback stats? Wednesday was the fifth time this season alone they gained at least a point after trailing by three goals. Here were those games:
Dec. 2 at ANA (W)
Dec. 7 at BUF (W)
Feb. 25 at CGY (W)
March 31 vs. OTT (SOL)
UPDATE: The Flyers practice at 1 o'clock at Consol Energy Center. Back with more after practice.

Many patients report an increase in vigor and strength and the disappearance of symptoms of the disease, along with feelings of well-being and optimism.
While hydrazine sulfate may not be a sure-fire cancer cure, large-scale clinical trials suggest that it affects every type of tumor at every stage. It can be administered either alone or in combination with cytotoxic chemotherapy or radiation to make the cancer more vulnerable to these standard forms of treatment.
Hydrazine sulfate is now undergoing Phase III trials sponsored by the National Cancer Institute. It is available to patients as a "compassionate IND [Investigational New Drug]," a designation conferred by the Food and Drug Administration on a case-by-case basis, so it is no longer, strictly speaking, an "unconventional therapy." Yet even though hundreds of patients across the country are using the drug, it is not widely discussed or disseminated among practicing physicians and its promise remains largely untapped twenty-four years after it was first proposed as an anticancer treatment by Dr. Joseph Gold. Meanwhile, hydrazine sulfate is widely available in the Commonwealth of Independent States (formerly the Soviet Union), where researchers have followed up on Gold's pioneering work with over ten years of investigation supporting the drug's effectiveness.
"We've gone from a red light to a yellow light, and hopefully will go to a green light," says Dr. Gold, director of the Syracuse Cancer Research Institute in Syracuse, New York, which he founded in 1966. Since his discovery in 1968 that hydrazine sulfate can prevent the wasting-away process in cancer patients and inhibit tumor growth, Gold has waged a courageous uphill battle to win acceptance for his nontoxic chemotherapy by the medical establishment.
The American Cancer Society put hydrazine sulfate on its Unproven Methods blacklist in 1976. It condemned and stigmatized the drug following a clinical trial on twenty-nine patients at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center in New York. But it is now widely acknowledged that the Sloan-Kettering tests were botched.
When Dr. Gold made an unannounced visit to the hospital in 1974, he discovered, to his horror, that "many patients in the study were either being underdosed or overdosed. Some people who were beginning to show anticachexia response were suddenly being given 90 to 100 milligrams at one time. All this was in dear violation of the drug protocols and of our joint agreements," said Gold.1 The study's protocol called for patients to receive 60 milligrams once a day for the first three days, twice a day for the next three days, and three times a day for the following six weeks. Therefore, some patients were getting a 67 percent overdose.
In a letter of protest to Sloan-Kettering,2 Gold pointed out that some patients were receiving a massive, single dose of approximately 120 to 190 milligrams a day (instead of the usual two or three 60-milligram doses), "which quickly wiped out whatever good response they were beginning to show." The study was so poorly executed that it could never be published today, he maintains.

With the 2014 Winter Olympic Games in Sochi, Russia, over, one factor set the competition apart from past contests: Problems with the host city�s competition venues and accommodations.
But, I don�t believe the mishaps were all bad.
Every four years, international athletes gather, combining grace, athleticism and dedication to create breathtaking performances. No matter the sport, the strength and endurance of the athletes proved undeniable. That should be the true emphasis of the games.
But more than a week removed from the closing ceremonies, the non-competition troubles in the chosen city have turned out to be the unique focus of the games � taking attention away from the athletics. From the start, Sochi had problems. When visitors arrived at their hotels, they discovered a variety of surprises, including rooms still undergoing construction and yellow-tinted water. Some people reported they had no running water at all.
American bobsledder Johnny Quinn was especially affected. On Feb. 7, Quinn found himself locked in his bathroom for more an hour and was forced to use his bobsled push training to break out. Three days later, he and two other teammates became trapped in an elevator in the athletes� village. Fortunately, all made it out safely and were able to laugh about the incident later to reporters. But this event, and others like it, proved to be a distraction from the Olympic events.
In addition, when the Olympians first explored, they immediately noticed � and shared stories of � stray dogs that seemed to be everywhere. Fortunately, Sochi�s stray problem inspired many athletes to permanently adopt the dogs and take them home.
The mishaps added to the interest in the Olympic Games. All the external issues made the games interesting for a wider group of people. People likely tuned in to see if the games would be a success.
Other factors also detracted from the Olympics� grandeur for some, especially the weather conditions. The warm conditions and lack of snow formed slush in Sochi�s mountains.
I didn�t mind the drama and unpredictability for some of the events, but the conditions were detrimental to the half pipe events. Snowboarders and skiers alike were unable to achieve the usual height in their jumps and they often failed to land like they wanted.
Overall, the Olympics were very successful but too often the focus moved from the breathtaking mountains, rich culture and, most importantly, the stunning performances for gold to all that occurred behind the scenes. Stories highlighted the triumphs and distractions in equal parts, taking away from some of the amazing achievements that were accomplished.
Still, no circumstances could ever remove the joy and triumph in human achievement the Olympics bring. In that way, Sochi continued the tradition and passed it on to be continued in Pyeongchang, South Korea, in 2018.

JACKSON, Miss. (AP) — Former Mississippi Gov. Ronnie Musgrove says he now regrets signing a state law in 2000 that bans same-sex couples from adopting children.
Musgrove, a Democrat, served one term as governor, from January 2000 to January 2004.
He first reported his change of heart in an essay this week on the Huffington Post. He also said same-sex couples should have the right to marry.
Musgrove, who's Baptist, told The Associated Press on Friday that his evolution occurred over time. He said reading the U.S. Constitution made it clear that the government cannot deny rights to groups of people.
He commended Republican U.S. Sen. Rob Portman of Ohio, who recently announced support for same-sex couple after learning his son is gay.
Mississippi voters in 2004 adopted a constitutional amendment banning gay marriage.

What to CookPasta
A Potluck Lunch
For the past two weeks, I've written about strategies for planning ahead now that I'm cooking for a rapidly expanding family. Okay, so there's really just one more family member -- and one who's not even eating solid food yet -- but with her arrival, our world has turned topsy-turvy, in the best of ways. This nascent chaos brings with it a need to simplify and organize, and also a strong urge to return to "normalcy" every once in a while. We've found that the best way to accomplish this is to see friends. Many of them have kids already, but a lot don't, and just as a certain distance can develop between single and non-single friends, we've quickly realized it can be difficult to bridge the gap between those who spend 98 percent of their time talking about poop, and those who don't.
It's no longer an easy option for us to meet up with friends at some cool new restaurant at 9pm on a Friday for an impromptu social gathering -- now we need to plan our evenings out at least a week, if not two, in advance. These days it makes a lot more sense for us to host. Having people over has the dual benefit of not requiring us to find a sitter, and allowing us to maintain the baby's schedule while we socialize with our friends. While we used to love hosting late-night, multi-course dinner parties (see Amanda's recent post on getting back into the swing of dinner parties), right now those are just not an option. The answer to our dilemma? Potlucks, of course!
This weekend, we invited a group of good friends to our place on Sunday afternoon for a potluck brunch/lunch. I prepared a main dish -- a pasta with spicy sausage and some ramps I'd picked up at the farmers market the day before that took me all of 20 minutes to put together (the recipe is at the bottom of this post) -- along with a simple appetizer and drinks, relying on our guests to round out the menu, which looked like this:
- Blackcurrant juice spritzers
- Rosé
- Local ricotta drizzled with olive oil and sprinkled with sea salt and black pepper, served with crackers
- Prosciutto and soppressata
- Orecchiette with spicy sausage and ramps
- Raisin walnut bread from Bien Cuit with salted Irish butter
- Lemony Green Bean Salad with Feta, Red Onion and Marjoram
- Roasted aparagus with olive oil and lemon juice
- Raspberry peach crumb pie
- Champage (to celebrate the arrival of my friend Guillermo's new greencard!)
Here's a video clip, where you can see all of the dishes:
You may have noticed that I took my own photos and video for this post, and also for my previous two posts. Microsoft recently gave me a new Nokia Lumia 900 Windows phone (the subject of a lot of buzz recently) to try out. In case you weren't aware, we're really fussy about photos here at Food52 -- great food photography is not easy to produce! -- so I thought it would be a good test to see if I could take some decent food photos with the phone. The verdict? I was pleasantly surprised by both the photo and video quality, even when shot by a total amateur like me -- pretty snazzy, and no Instagram filters needed!

NICOSIA, Cyprus (AP) — Wariness among some euro area countries over bailing out debt-saddled Cyprus is gradually receding, the country's president-elect said Wednesday.
Nicos Anastasiades said his government will move quickly to counter allegations that Cyprus is a haven for money-laundering so that it can secure full support for a financial lifeline that the country needs to stay afloat.
"It's something that without doubt must be done to eliminate all these reactions," Anastasiades said after naming his new Cabinet. "Consequently, the assurances I've received are that we will have the full solidarity of our European partners."
Tiny Cyprus, whose economy only contributes 0.2 percent to the output of the group of 17 European Union countries that use the euro, last year asked for a €17 billion ($22.3 billion) bailout to stave off bankruptcy and rescue its banks which have lost billions on bad Greek debt. The sum is equal to the value of the country's economy, raising questions whether it will be able to repay any loan.
It has also been accused — mainly by Germany — that it launders dodgy Russian money and that it's simply too small and not worth saving. But Cypriot and European officials have warned letting the country fall would jeopardise the euro area's fragile recovery.
Conservative Anastasiades, 66, easily defeated his left-wing opponent in a runoff Sunday, promising to quickly secure a rescue loan and end the uncertainty dragging the Cypriot economy down.
Cyprus only has enough money to pay salaries until the end of May, outgoing Finance Minister Vassos Shiarly said Wednesday, while the country has about €1.4 billion ($1.83 billion) worth of debt maturing in early June.
The country's economy is projected to shrink by 3.5 percent this year, while unemployment will hit 14 percent, a huge rise for a country that only a few years ago had a jobless rate of less than 4 percent.
Meanwhile, Cyprus' new finance minister Michalis Sarris said spending cuts and tax increases agreed with international creditors last November and included in a draft bailout agreement are sufficient to get the country's finances under control.
Sarris said he would be "surprised if more austerity was demanded. Cypriot legislators passed a raft of public sector wage cuts as well as tax increases in December as part of the draft deal. Eurozone officials say they want to see a deal finalized by the end of March.

That's it, the transfer window is shut, and Premier League clubs are stuck with their current squads until January 1st 2013.
For some that's no problem. Shrewd acquisitions over the summer have bolstered their lineups considerably, and their club executivies are winning praise for a job well done.
But equally, others will be nervously glancing over their shoulder, the pressure already building as fans wake up to discover no new signings.
But let's name names, which clubs were busy yesterday and which were left fiddling with their fax machines...
Tottenham Hotspur
Tottenham had an excellent transfer window in general, and a superb deadline day, picking up France international Hugo Lloris for £11.8m including add-ons, and Fulham star Clint Dempsey. Danny Rose and Harry Kane left Spurs on loan deals while Giovani Dos Santos jumped ship for Real Mallorca and Rafael van der Vaart returned to Germany for £10m.
But Dempsey was the most surprising acquisition, Spurs seemingly pipping Liverpool to the post. And the American should prove a wise move. Andre Villas-Boas has quietly built the nucleus of a whole new team at Tottenham – Dembele, Vertonghen and Sigurdsson already signed - and the pieces are coming together nicely. A late club-record bid for Joao Moutinho didn't come off but Spurs fans have decent consolation presents.
Brendan Rodgers, on the other hand, was largely a bystander as the main action occurred away from Merseyside. Deals for Clint Dempsey and Danny Sturridge never materialised, meaning Liverpool's only involvement on deadline day was sending players out.
Jay Spearing left on loan to Bolton while Charlie Adam joined Stoke for £5m. But, after the departure of Andy Carroll to West Ham, most expected Liverpool to bolster their strikeforce. Instead, they'll be relying on Luis Suarez, Fabio Borini and Adam Morgan for goals, at least until January.
Manchester City
A quiet summer for City picked up on deadline day, as deals were agreed for Brazil fullback Maicon, Benfica midfielder Javi Garcia, Swansea winger Scott Sinclair and Fiorentina youngster Matiji Nastasic.
Garcia was the key acquisition. A classy, ball-playing holding midfielder to replace the outgoing Nigel De Jong - who left for AC Milan - Roberto Mancini will definitely feel like he upgraded in this position. What it means for fellow City new-boy Jack Rodwell though, is anyone's guess. As a side-note Stefan Savic left City for Fiorentina as part of the Nastasic deal.
Like Liverpool, Arsenal fans will wake up today slightly disappointed not to see any new faces at the Emirates Stadium. Arsene Wenger did clear out some of the fluff, Nicklas Bentder and Park Chu Young departed on loan for Juventus and Celta Vigo respectively, but the Gunners boss couldn't seal any signings of his own.
Discussions were reportedly held with Chelsea over Michael Essien, but the Ghanian eventually opted to rejoin Jose Mourinho at Real Madrid. Instead, Arsenal will have to hope their early business – Santi Cazorla, Lukas Podolski and Olivier Giroud – pays off.
Manchester United
Nothing to report coming into Old Trafford, which was to be expected after Sir Alex Ferguson said his side's business concluded with the capture of Dutch fullback Alexander Buttner.
But there was one high-profile departure, Dimitar Berbatov finally securing a move away from Manchester United, eventually joining Fulham and Martin Jol for a fee believed to be £4m.
All Chelsea's dealings involved players leaving the club, Roberto Di Matteo rightly happy with the business already concluded. Eden Hazard, Oscar and Cesar Azpilicueta all excellent young signings.
On deadline day Essien left for Real Madrid, Yossi Benayoun departed for West Ham while highly-rated youngster Nathaniel Chalobah joined Gianfranco Zola's Watford on loan. Finally, Gael Kakuta will spend the season on loan with Dutch side Vitesse Arnhem.
Elsewhere in the Premier League, QPR were by far the busiest across the transfer window, signing 12 new players, and on deadline day they brought in Stephane Mbia from Marseille and Sam Magri from Portsmouth. Former-club captain Joey Barton joined Marseille on loan.
Premier League new-boys Southampton broke their transfer record to sign highly-rated Uruguayan winger Gaston Ramirez for a fee in the region of £12m, beating Liverpool and Spurs to the punch.

Can't believe there isn't more talk about the Packers going undefeated this season. The Giants were the only tough team left on the schedule...should be a cakewalk from here on out.
Yeah, the Packers are just flying under the radar... no national respect... why won't anyone take them seriously!?
Quote from: Rob on December 8, 2011, 12:27 PMYeah, the Packers are just flying under the radar... no national respect... why won't anyone take them seriously!?Maybe if their QB would do a commercial or two people would know more about them.
I know some of you won't agree, but how big of a moronic/dirty player is James Harrison. I wish he would have followed through on his threat from a few years back and stopped playing in the NFL.
Sucks to lose Jennings in a fairly meaningless game though.
I totally understand, but I think if they'd prefer these guys to look at the big picture and not risk losing Rodgers or other players to injury in a 'meaningless game' so close to playoffs. But yeah, it would suck to pay good money to see a game and have the stars pulled early.

TEHRAN, Iran (AP) — Iran said Sunday that it set up its first space tracking center to monitor objects passing in orbit overhead, the breakthrough claimed by the Islamic Republic in its space program.
President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, who inaugurated the facility near the town of Delijan some 200 kilometers (125 miles) south of Tehran, said the center will help the country to manage "activities of satellites" but was also capable of monitoring "very remote space," according to the official IRNA press agency.
Iran says it wants to put its own satellites into orbit to monitor natural disasters in the earthquake-prone nation, improve telecommunications and expand military surveillance in the region. The U.S. and its allies worry that the same technology could also be used to develop long-range missiles.
Defense Minister Gen. Ahmad Vahidi said the center was for Iran's space-related security but that Tehran would also share the acquired data with other countries, the official IRNA news agency reported.
Iran frequently announces technological breakthroughs that cannot be independently verified. It has long pursued space ambitions aimed at putting its own satellite into orbit as well as a manned space flight.
"The base is aimed at securing the country's space facilities and monitoring space objects especially satellites that pass overhead," Vahidi was quoted as saying.
The country has nine command and control ground stations for its space program including one in Syria, the country's main Arab regional ally. The rest are located mainly in the central and southern parts of the country.
Vahidi said the Delijan center used radar, electro-optic and radio tracking.
In one of its most recent high-profile space announcements, Iran said in February that it send a monkey into space.

BEIJING (AP) — Hours after a man with long-running grievances against officialdom set off a homemade explosive at Beijing's airport, a singer-songwriter turned to the Internet to release her own sarcastic wish list of to-be-bombed targets.
By the next day, Wu Hongfei — known for her activism and whimsical songs — was in police detention on a criminal charge that prompted an outcry and an outpouring of public discussion on the boundaries of China's free speech laws in the new era of social media. In a rare backtrack by local authorities, Wu will apparently be released Friday without further prosecution.
"If the state machine is used to penalize anyone who ever says wrong words, who would dare to say anything?" Peking University law professor Zhang Qianfan said.
Wu's wish list played off a Chinese word that means both "explode" and "fry," and her list of targets included an unnamed government official and local agencies such as a government housing commission — as well as chicken wings, potato chips and Chinese-style bread.
She posted the satirical comment on her Twitter-like Sina Weibo microblog in the early hours of July 21, the morning after Ji Zhongxing detonated a bomb from his wheelchair at Beijing's main airport, injuring nobody but himself. The blast by Ji, who for years had sought compensation for what he said was a beating by officials that left him paralyzed, drew both condemnation and sympathy on behalf of those deemed without avenues to redress wrongs.
After Wu's post, Beijing police detained her on the criminal charge of causing trouble, though they later changed the accusations to spreading terrorist information and disturbing public order. It was the first known case of a public figure detained for something they wrote on Weibo.
Nobody would suggest a wholesale easing of free speech in China was in the offing, or that questioning the dominance of the ruling Communist Party would be tolerated any time soon. However, prominent legal scholars have spoken up in defense of Wu's right to free speech, urging the government to be more tolerant of speech that can serve as a release valve for the disgruntled.
"It is clear that she was merely blowing off some steam, and that's markedly differently from spreading rumors," said Chen Hongguo, a law scholar at Northwest University of Politics and Law. "The public would get a sense of crisis if they see a woman like Wu getting punished."
Many Chinese have been questioned and admonished by police over online comments, and some have been sent to labor camps in China's extralegal system without due process. But Wu's case, as the first known formal criminal detention of a public figure in a case like this, grabbed nationwide attention with leading news portals sending alerts on the case's latest developments.
Many members of the public voiced their support for Wu, posting their own to-be-fried lists, while also noting that other far more violent posts on social media have been ignored by authorities.
Local authorities this week apparently halted the criminal proceedings against Wu. Her lawyer, Chen Jiangang, said she has been fined 500 yuan ($80) and been given 10 days of detention, including those already served, and would be released Friday without further prosecution. Beijing police did not respond to AP's faxed request for comment on Wu's case.
"The case of Wu Hongfei generated widespread alarm among netizens in China," said Maya Wang, a researcher for the New York-based Human Rights Watch. "So it is a relief for Chinese netizens that Wu no longer faces the prospect of prison."
Wu, with a fan base of about 130,000 on one social media platform, has so far been a largely underground singer who engages in social activism through music. Still, she is no political dissident, said her lawyer, Chen Jiangang.
"She didn't set out to be a hero or to challenge the authorities on free speech," Chen said. "She regrets the remarks, but she also does not believe she's broken the law. Anyone with common sense will not consider her posting as a terrorist message."
China is not alone in parsing the line between terrorism and harmless threats or satire. However, in China, laws often are so vague and the lack of judicial independence so acute that authorities can interpret the laws to serve political interests or engage in personal vendettas. Zhang, the Peking University law professor, said China is in need of consensus on the boundaries of free speech and the limits of judicial intervention.
"Did her speech cause any housing commission employee not to show up for work or nearby residents to worry?" said Zhang, who argued that Wu did not pose any clear and present danger to the society. "The majority of the public probably won't take her words seriously."

Unfortunately, these medications did not help Wilcox but only became a nightmare.
Talking about Herpes, it is a sexually transmitted disease that is both viral and very contagious, which means that one needs to be extra careful of transmitting it to his partner or anyone in the family and no wonder, Herpes is that's why one of the highest spreading sexually transmitted disease in the US and several other parts of the world and it is said that almost one of every six adults has contracted some form of herpes, genital or oral to name a few, according to recent statistics. Herpes normally occur orally in the mouth or on the genitals and this is exactly why Herpes can get so annoying and frustrating for the people affected by HSV 2 virus. Herpes is usually hard to identify because the symptoms may not come at large and this is why many people don't even realize that they have contracted Herpes.

By MICHAEL AHO
This post was written as an assignment for Professor Brynn Saito's multi-genre MFA-level writing workshop, WRC 7093. In this class, students produce new fiction, poetry, and nonfiction, while reflecting on their lives, influences, and processes as artists and writers.
Can creativity be taught? Absolutely!
We would not expect a surgeon to make the opening incision without extensive training and practice; why should the opening line of a novel be any different?
There's a whole constellation of related "teaching" verbs—such as nurture, develop, practice, refine, etc.
I blame the "mysterium tremendum" surrounding the entire artistic process on the Greek myth of creativity as a divine gift from the Muses. If it originates outside the self, outside our consciousness, even outside the realm of humanity, how can it possibly be taught?
Like priests reading mass in Latin, creativity and writing are believed to belong to an exclusive and esoteric realm, where common people should remain silent and respectful.
This leads us to think that writing is such a rarified, transcendent or alien experience that no preparation, no environment, no mentors could possibly make a difference. Even on the websites of MFA programs in writing, I find rampant allusions to this preposterous notion that writing cannot be taught.
Having previously completed an internship as a psychotherapist, I know it is possible to teach and cultivate qualities such as vulnerability, compassion, and self-reflection. Bio-feedback training can bring previously autonomic processes under direct control. Brain plasticity research teaches us that new synapses and neural pathways can indeed be constructed.
When I studied Mandarin Chinese, it was certainly slower than learning French—about four times slower—but it didn't require an intervention from the Muses. Teaching math may be quite different from teaching interpretive dance, but any training in dance will lead to greater flexibility, poise, and control, and so it is with writing. It's a practice where peers, expectations, and one's community all make a big difference...
Malcolm Gladwell, in Outliers, offers the magic formula of 10,000 hours of practice required to develop mastery. It's simply not realistic to expect "mastery" to be produced by any one program; 10,000 hours is more like 10 years of effort. Why then, such unrealistic goals for the cultivation of creativity?
I admire people who sit down and just write, without any drama. However, that's just alien to me. Writing is something I resist or avoid, like arrest or an STD. Unfortunately for me, procrastination and perfectionism are like two schoolyard bullies, who I was never able to shake, even after all these years. One reason alone that justifies being in a writing class or program is deadlines.
For example, today was a day off from work. My plan was to start by writing the blog you are now reading. That didn't exactly happen.
After sleeping in and "breakfasting" at noon, I immediately scheduled a haircut, packed my car full of dirty laundry, and headed to the laundromat via car wash. When I eventually got home, there were dishes to do, a presidential debate to watch, a video game to finish and other important non-writing tasks. At 10pm, after my self-scheduled 2-10 pm writing "shift" was over, I turned on the computer. Thankfully, this writing assignment had a deadline of midnight. For people like me, deadlines are the only things that transform inspiration into actual words.
I'll take a hard-working-community of fellow writers, a structure of built-in deadlines, and critical feedback/support from mentors over the unteachable myth of divine inspiration any day.

Acid-Alkaline Diet
Tuesday we had another nutrition lecture and we discussed the topic of acid-alkaline balance in the body and using nutrition to maintain that balance. Radhia gave us pH strips to test our saliva and urine (testing took place in the privacy of our homes, thankfully 🙂 ).
The basic idea is that certain foods tend to make your body more acidic and other foods tend to make it more alkaline. The theory's proponents contend that bodies which are constantly acidic or fighting to reduce acidity tend to be sicker. Therefore, striving for alkalinity is desirable and guess what – healthy foods produce alkalinity: vegetables, most fruits, oats, tea, and other healthy foods. The baddies? Processed oils, dairy foods, meats, refined sugar and salts, etc. There are some unexpected foods — carrots and cranberries produce acidity, rice syrup (fairly sweet) produces alkalinity — but mostly it's intuitive.
In the body's fight to maintain homeostasis, it will become weakened and susceptible to a number of disease states.
Below: pH paper roll for testing your pH levels.
Soups Lab
We made a variety of soups today, which was great for me because I haven't had a lot of experience in soup production.
Below: One team made it's own chapati from scratch, as shown encircling the bowl below.
Below: Mint-melon soup.
Below: A mock clam chowder made with sauteed oyster mushrooms. The team made a scratch version of Old Bay seasoning to lend a classic seafood soup flavor.
Below: Brian Henderson, who's in charge of procuring the stock we cook with and who also provides us with helpful coaching during our cooking labs, showed me how to quickly break down an avocado using a technique you probably haven't seen before…
Below: Corn and quinoa chowder. I made and garnished this one. It had a very good corn flavor and the key was, I think, scraping the corn "milk" out of the cob after cutting off the kernels.
Weird Observation of the Day
In the cooking lab, anytime you touch your face or hair, you have to wash your hands again before touching food. You learn to delay scratching your nose, or at least find alternative ways of accomplishing the goal. Now, even when I am at home, I have strange feelings about touching my face — I'm beginning to think twice before scratching!

Manchester superintendent search committee plans relaunchBy PAUL FEELY
New Hampshire Union Leader
April 07. 2013 10:22PM
MANCHESTER - Members of the city's Superintendent Search Committee are ready to hit the reset button on the search process later this week, when they convene for the first time since they were unable to reach a consensus last month on a new leader for the state's largest school district.
The committee is scheduled to meet Thursday at 5 p.m. in the district offices at 195 McGregor St.
Committee members are expected to discuss possible changes to the parameters of the search, including possibly increasing the salary, after one of three finalists withdrew from consideration for the job last month, and members were unable to reach agreement on the remaining two candidates.
"I don't know where we go from here, what we do next," said Ward 9 school board member Arthur Beaudry, a member of the search committee.
Nearly 80 people applied to replace Thomas Brennan, who is paid $165,500 a year and is leaving June 30 after four years. The field was narrowed to three finalists: Mark Toback, superintendent of schools in Hoboken, N.J., who withdrew his name from consideration before the school board interviewed him; Geoffrey Gordon, former superintendent of Port Washington, N.Y., and Vincent Cotter, retired superintendent of the Colonial School District in Pennsylvania.
Brennan is the highest-paid district chief in the state, but Mayor Ted Gatsas has said the team from PROACT, the search firm the city has contracted with, is looking to determine if a stronger pool of candidates would result if the posted $140,000 to $170,000 salary range were increased. According to a 2010 national survey by the Educational Research Service, the average salary for a district with 10,000 to 25,000 students was $178,786. (Manchester currently has just more than 15,000 students.)
Search Committee Chairman Ted Rokas, school board member from Ward 5, released a statement following his committee's failure to reach a consensus, saying, "At this point, we are going to revisit our position paper, review the feedback from the various community groups and stakeholders, and start over."
Rokas did not return repeated phone calls Friday seeking comment for this story.
Rumors surfaced last week that Gatsas was interested in having former city Mayor Robert Baines, a longtime principal at West High School, take the job on an interim basis, but as reported in yesterday's New Hampshire Sunday News, Baines isn't interested in the job.
Beaudry says he doesn't want to see someone brought in on an interim basis anyway.
"We need a leader, not someone who is going to come in here for a short period of time and leave - and who knows they are only here on a temporary basis," said Beaudry. "We need someone to step into the job who's ready to start taking things on, not keeping the seat warm for someone else in a few months."
Beaudry felt they already had the right candidate in Cotter, and was disappointed when his colleagues on the board didn't share his views.
"I thought he could do the job," said Beaudry.
Now Beaudry and the rest of the selection committee must begin the process anew. A revised timeline for selecting a superintendent has yet to be established.

LAWRENCE, N.J. (AP) — A dump truck rammed into a car that was stopped at a traffic light on Thursday, sending them both into a nearby lake, submerging the car and killing its driver, police said. The dump truck's driver was injured.
The vehicles wound up in Colonial Lake with the truck on top of the submerged car, Lawrence police Lt. Charles Edgar said.
The truck hit the car on an inside lane of a four-lane roadway, pushing it more than 200 feet from an intersection into a park and then into the lake, police said.
It took about two hours for a tow truck to remove the dump truck from the water. Inside the badly damaged car was the body of its driver, whose identity wasn't immediately revealed.
A coroner removed a body from the scene on Thursday evening.
The dump truck and the car didn't have any passengers, but initially police didn't know how many people were in the vehicles. At least four divers went into the water to try to help in the rescue operation.
The dump truck's driver was conscious and alert at the scene and was taken to a hospital.
The cause of the accident was under investigation, and there was no immediate word on potential criminal charges.

"X-Men: Days of Future Past" director Bryan Singer launched a new Instagram account today with a photo of the first page of the treatment for "X-Men: Apocalypse," the next installment in the booming franchise.
The snapshot of the document, written with Simon Kinberg, Michael Dougherty and Dan Harris, reveals a few tantalizing details, including a "sprawling battle" at the Nile involving the Four Horsemen, who appeared in the end credits of "X-Men: Days of Future Past."
The treatment, dated June 6, couldn't be touted at a better time. Singer's current box-office concern, "X-Men: Days of Future Past," just surpassed "Captain America: The Winter Soldier" this weekend to become the year's internationally top-grossing film. The feature has raked in more than $713 million in just over a month, besting any other installment in the series.
Singer's legal troubles still loom — former model and actor Michael Egan filed a civil lawsuit in April accusing Singer of sexually assaulting him more than a decade ago. The controversy caused the director to sit out the publicity tour for "Days of Future Past." But this peek at the treatment for "Apocalypse" may signal that Singer is confident that he'll direct the film.
Previously 20th Century Fox had seemed to distance itself from the director, stating in April that "these are serious allegations, and they will be resolved in the appropriate forum. This is a personal matter, which Bryan Singer and his representatives are addressing separately."
Egan also accused former Walt Disney Television President David Neuman, theater producer Gary Wayne Goddard and former network television executive Garth Ancier of sexual assault, but his lawyers have dropped those three lawsuits; Ancier is now suing Egan and the man's attorneys. Singer has filed a motion to dismiss the lawsuit against him. A hearing for the case is set for Aug. 4.
The upcoming installment of the X-Men franchise is set for release on May 27, 2016.

Synopsys has a problem. Per Norm Kelly, speaking at the ESD Alliance panel on September 14th in Silicon Valley, Synopsys loses fully a third of the revenue they're owed each year for their vast catalog of IP because it's stolen by Cheaters and used without paying any licensing or royalty fees.
Kelly said Synopsys earns about $200 million per year selling IP, and loses another $100 million to theft. Cheaters are a real problem, he lamented, and as Director of License Compliance for Synopsys he should know. Kelly did not have the floor to share these laments, however, until Warren Savage, GM of IP at Silvaco, opened the meeting.
Speaking from the podium as moderator of the evening's discussion, Savage said the real problem is the bumblers, those designers and companies who lose track of licensing obligations for IP that was either purchased some time ago, or was brought into the design effort on a data stick fished out of the pocket of someone who's joined the organization through a poorly managed M&A.
In other words, when Chuckles the Clown uses IP, often as not he doesn't realize some monies are owed to the third-party IP vendor who created it in the first place. Savage offered this statistic: On an average SoC today, there are 150 to 200 blocks of IP, but only a small percentage of those blocks are actually paid for.

Still Separated at Birth?
Do Spy magazine's celebrity lookalikes still look alike?
A few weeks ago, Kurt Andersen tweeted the following: "Google's digitized every issue of Spy magazine. Half up now, the rest soon. (The internet has justified itself)." Media nerds and pop culture junkies rejoiced. Spy, which Andersen co-founded in the mid-1980s with current Vanity Fair editor Graydon Carter and publisher Tom Phillips, maintains a hallowed place in magazine lore. And, as the Google trove reveals, Spy's reputation for excellence is well deserved.
Editors and writers love Spy foremost because it overflowed with great ideas. It specialized in snarky commentary, hyperdetailed charts and lists, celebrity takedowns, and pre-Photoshop image-manipulation shenanigans. The publication's legendary front-of-book section, "Naked City," was an embarrassment of riches—it included "Letters to the Editor of The New Yorker" (at the time, The New Yorker refused to print readers' letters), a section delineating the scope of health-code violations at New York City restaurants (with accompanying icons to signify roaches, rats, etc.), and a chart on the number of times Liz Smith mentioned Brooke Astor, George Hamilton, and others in her New York Daily News column.
Naked City's biggest hit, though, was its "Separated at Birth" photo pairings. The idea is as brilliant as it is simple: This public figure seems to look like this other public figure (or, as the case may be, like a cartoon character). Let's put them side by side and take a closer look. "Separated at Birth" confirmed that, in 1987, Mick Jagger sort of did look like Don Knotts; Tammy Fay Bakker, when seen from the correct angle, resembled an Ewok; and Sarah Ferguson looked like the maid from The Brady Bunch.
Nearly 25 years after the first "Separated at Birth" photos appeared in Spy, do the original pairings still hold up? Twenty-five years is a long time. People age differently, and in unpredictable ways. It seems only fair to test the continued strength of those old Spy pairs via the same method the magazine used in the 1980s: side-by-side headshots. Here are some of the best pairings from Google's first batch of Spy uploads, along with new, modern versions. You make the call: Does Bob Costas still look like Katie Couric?
Launch a slide-show essay on Spy's "Separated at Birth" pairings, 25 years later.

Gary Kinsland of Louisiana found himself in a terrible situation during a hunting trip back in 2009 on a state wildlife management area.
Kinsland shot two black bears after mistaking them for a feral hogs. Black bears are protected in Louisiana so when he walked up to the animals, he was aghast and dismayed. Kinsland is an experienced hunter and certified instructor.
Upon realizing his mistake he had a choice to make, too: Report himself to state officials and possibly face stiff penalties, or walk away and hope no one associated him with the situation or discovered who did it.
Check out this story and Kinsland's outcome – Click Here
What would you do in this situation? We'd like to hear your thoughts and comments.

QUETTA, Pakistan (AP) — Assailants fired a rocket at a moving train in a mountainous region in southwestern Pakistan on Friday, killing two passengers and wounding 19, a railway official said.
The attack took place near the village of Dozan as the train was heading to the town of Sibi in Baluchistan province, said railway official Kashif Khan.
Security forces, backed by a military helicopter, launched a search in an effort to trace and arrest the attackers, said Khan. The dead and wounded had been taken to a government hospital, he added.
Dozan village is located about 50 kilometers (30 miles) east of Quetta, capital of the impoverished province.
No one immediately claimed responsibility for the attack, but suspicion fell on separatists in Baluchistan who have long waged a low-level insurgency against the government.
