President Barack Obama was officially sworn in for a second term in the White House Blue Room Sunday morning.
The ceremony was short and sweet — Obama will repeat the oath publicly tomorrow during his ceremonial Inauguration on the National Mall.
In a cute moment after his swearing-in today, Obama turned to his youngest daughter Sasha and said "I did it."
Sasha replied: "Good job Daddy."

Long before the world embraced Guns N' Roses as the quintessential Eighties rock band, the L.A.-based outfit recorded in one day a demo tape that featured many of what would become the band's best-known songs, including "Welcome to the Jungle," "Paradise City" and "Mr. Browstone," all of which would wind up on the band's 1987 breakthrough album, Appetite For Destruction. Also on the tape was a song called "November Rain," a sprawling, grandiose piano-driven ballad that would lie dormant for the remainder of the decade, eventually resurfacing in 1991 on the band's two record set, Use Your Illusion.
"I think that demo session was the first time we played 'November Rain' together as a band," says Guns guitarist Slash. "We actually did it on paino and acoustic guitar. As far as the guitar solo, it was so natural from the first time I ever played it on the demo that I don't even know if I made any changes to it when we did the electric version on Use Your Illusion. I never even went back and listened to the old tapes. One of the best things about a melody for a guitar solo is when it comes to you the same way every time, and that was definitely the case with 'November Rain.' When it came time to do the record, I just went into the studio, played the solo through a Les Paul Standard and a Marshall [2555, Jubilee head] and said, 'I think that sounds right,' " he laughs. "It was as simple as that."

The Scouting Dept is a 30-team money dynasty league with contracts, mulitple ownership, variable entry fees and variable salary caps which scores on ProFSL. This is an extremely deep league with large major and minor league rosters. All teams have a market value which fluctuates based on performance and perceived value (farm rankings and fantasy points of MLB players). The entry fees depend on your teams market value. Large market teams are more expensive to buy than small markets. You can play as a GM/Owner or as just an owner, investing in up to 5 teams with as large or as small percentage of ownership as you wish, or is available. The salary caps for each team also fluctuate based on market value; teams like Boston and NY have very high caps while small market teams like KC and TB are less fortunate money-wise. This creates a disparity in buying power between teams but is accurate to the current climate in the MLB. Like it or not the Yankees and Sox have more flexibility. Not to fear, fans of small market clubs! The payout structure is designed to award both performance and increases in market value. The goal is for good management to allow smaller markets to grow larger, and at the same time larger markets may lose ground if not managed properly. There's more incentive to invest in small market teams as the overall payout is larger relative to the entry fee (Boston may only double their money by winning, where as KC could quadruple theirs).
The scoring for this league is a 6x6 category based head to head system.
Scoring will begin on June 1st.
For more info please email me at: email@example.com
Or visit our boards (rules and rosters still under construction) here: http://www.profsl.com/smf/index.php?board=91.0
***Please be aware this league is for serious players only. We're looking for very active and knowledgeable owners***

South Dakota Lawmakers Pass Ban on Texting While Driving
PIERRE - A South Dakota Senate panel has approved a bill to ban texting while driving, a proposal that has been repeatedly rejected by the state Legislature.
The Transportation Committee voted 5-2 to send the measure to the full Senate.
Supporters hope the Legislature will look more favorably on the idea this year because some South Dakota cities have already imposed their own bans.
Thirty-nine states and the District of Columbia have already banned texting while driving.
The measure would prohibit writing, sending or reading a text message while driving, but it would continue to allow drivers to make cellphone calls and use hands-free electronic devices.
It also would prevent cities from imposing any ordinance that varies from statewide law on texting.

Where is the best beach in town? This is a question I hear regularly around town and especially at the Inn. Since our village is peninsular, you can't walk 5 minutes in any direction without seeing the ocean and waterfront property is not exactly hard to come by. And although much of the ocean front real estate is private, the public beaches in Woods Hole each have something different to offer to both visitors and locals.
Confusing because of its name, "Stoney Beach" or "Stoney" (by the locals) is actually the sandiest beach in Woods Hole. Sheltered from the prevailing southeast sea breeze, Stoney is the perfect place to spend a day at the beach without getting sand in your sandwich, and by the middle of summer, the water is warm and welcoming for even the most novice ocean swimmers. Nestled between weathered cottages, Stoney is setback from the road, and, because it is an official town beach, a Life Guard is on duty during the day.
Venture a little bit farther in the opposite direction, and find the most scenic beach around just below Nobska Lighthouse with gorgeous views of the Lighthouse, Martha's Vineyard, and the entrance to Woods Hole Harbor. The consistent southwest breeze makes Nobska Beach the perfect balmy day hang out spot and if you need some extra cooling-off, take a dip in the crisp water. Make sure to take a quick walk up to the Lighthouse to snap some pictures of the ferryboats going by.
Want to bring your dog to the beach? Or watch the sun set over the water from your car on a chilly evening? Then the "Town Landing" opposite Park Street is for you. It is somewhat hidden from the road, down a lengthy stone road, and, although the beach looks unappealingly rocky from first glance, swimming is actually a breeze because of its lack of sand bars and quick drop-off. You can venture out on the jetty too and slide into the cool, refreshing water.
No matter what you are looking for, the beaches of Woods Hole are sure to please. So grab a beach towel from the front desk and make your way to any one of these walkable beaches from the Woods Hole Inn. You can grab on iced coffee from Coffee Obsession (or an iced soy latte, my personal favorite) and the locally inspired "Bourne Farm" sandwich from Woods Hole Market on your way. — from guest blogger Gwen Martin

Boneless Roast Leg of Lamb Recipe
If you love lamb as much I as do, you've got to try this dish. The preparation is effortless. It's so easy, even my husband's oldest teenage sister, Sunny, who's a vegetarian, could make it. I jokingly told her she has to learn a few meat dishes so when she gets married she'll know a few basics in cooking. Sunny was a bit frightened handling the roast at first but she overcame her fear and wrapped the meat in fresh herbs and helped me tie it. Now that's dedication.
The next day, I cut the leftover meat paper-thin and used it as a filling in a fusion-style banh mi. You can find the various condiment elements in these traditional banh mi sandwiches in my latest cookbook, aptly titled "Banh Mi, 75 Banh Mi recipes for Authentic & Delicious Vietnamese Sandwiches".
A few steps are essential to master the classic roast of lamb. First, make sure you select a boneless leg of lamb, trim any excess fat, then marinate it in a citrus and herb marinade. Finally, tie it tightly and roast to perfection in the oven.
Yields: 6 servings1 (3½-pounds) boneless leg of lamb, trimmed
2 tablespoons papaya paste (see tips)
10 sprigs lemon thyme
juice of 3 lemons
3 cups beef stock
1 teaspoon red chili pepper
1½ tablespoons kosher salt
3 tablespoons fresh mint, chopped
2 teaspoons black pepper, freshly cracked
3 cloves garlic, finely minced
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
1½ tablespoons brown sugar
6 tablespoons canola oil
1 tablespoon cold butter, diced
Marinating the lamb:
The day before...
In a saucepan, combine 2 cups beef stock, brown sugar, red chili powder, mustard and 1 tablespoon canola oil. Simmer until the mixture is reduced and slightly thickened. Let cool to room temperature
Transfer into a large sealable zip-top plastic bag. Add papaya paste, 1 teaspoon salt, lemon juice, 1 tablespoon chopped oregano, fresh mint, garlic and ¼ cup oil. Seal the bag and shake well.
Pat the meat dry with paper towels. Place the lamb in the plastic bag, refrigerate and allow to marinate overnight, if possible.
Cooking lamb:
Preheat the oven to 425°F.
Remove the lamb from the refrigerator so it returns to room temperature.
Pat dry the meat using paper towels. In a large baking dish, massage the lamb with oil then sprinkle with salt and black pepper. Wrap the piece of meat with sprigs of thyme, then secure them and tie the meat.
Brush a roasting pan with oil. Cover with a rack (you could also simply cover the pan with root vegetables instead). Top with the piece of meat. Sprinkle with more salt. Add 1 cup beef stock to the bottom of the pan.
Place the probe of a digital oven-proof thermometer in the center of the piece of meat. Set the thermometer at 140°F (see tips), depending on how pink you like the meat. (Note: The IKEA brand thermometer has a magnet so I can stick it to the hood of my stove while searing the meat.). Drizzle the meat with the marinade.
Roast for 10 minutes. Decrease the temperature to 400°F and continue roasting for an additional 40 minutes. Open the oven and baste the lamb with the drippings from the pan. Roast for 25 more minutes or until the thermometer registers 140°F.
Remove the meat from the oven. Loosely cover with foil (don't entirely wrap it or the skin won't be crispy). Let it rest for at least 15 minutes.
Reserve drippings at the bottom of the roaster, discarding as much oil (fat) as possible. Place over the stove and bring to a boil. Immediately decrease the heat and add the butter, whisking constantly.
Untie the meat, slice it thin and serve with the gravy on the side.
Bon appétit!
I use green papaya as a meat tenderizer to ensure moist and juicy meat. The papaya paste was Baji, my husband Lulu's late grandma's secret for tender and moist meat. Peel a green papaya. If you want to make some ahead of time to keep on hand: grind the cubed papaya with seeds in a mini food processor; place about 2 tablespoons of papaya paste per slot in an ice-cube tray and freeze them. Transfer the ice-cubes into sealable plastic bags and place back in the freezer.
The roasting time depends on how pink you like the lamb. If you want to be absolutely sure (and that is a fool-proof way to cook lamb), just place a temperature probe in the center of the piece of meat, and remove the lamb from the oven when the thermometer registers about 140°F (I prefer 150°F, so the meat is less rosy). You can get a digital thermometer at IKEA for a reasonable price.
Make sure to let the lamb rest before slicing it to ensure optimum tenderness of the meat.Published By: on July 11, 2013.

Weapons of mass destruction
NATO's Strategic Concept made clear that the proliferation of nuclear weapons and other weapons of mass destruction (WMD), and their delivery systems, could have incalculable consequences for global stability and prosperity. During the next decade, proliferation will be most acute in some of the world's most volatile regions.
(© Science Photo Library / Van Parys Media )
- NATO Allies seek to prevent the proliferation of WMD through an active political agenda of arms control, disarmament and non-proliferation.
- A WMD Non-Proliferation Centre at NATO Headquarters is strengthening dialogue among Allies, assessing risks and supporting defence efforts to improve Alliance preparedness to respond to the use of WMD or chemical, biological, radiological or nuclear (CBRN) agents.
- NATO is strengthening its defence capabilities to defend against CBRN attacks or incidents through a virtual pharmaceutical stockpile shared among Allies, a prototype joint advisory team for NATO commanders, a near real-time disease surveillance system and deployable analytical laboratories.
- NATO conducts training and exercises designed to test interoperability and prepare forces for operations in a CBRN environment.
More background information
NATO's weapons of mass destruction initiatives
NATO Allies engage actively in preventing the proliferation of WMD by state and non-state actors through an active political agenda of arms control, disarmament and non-proliferation as well as by developing and harmonising defence capabilities and, when necessary, by employing these capabilities consistent with political decisions in support of non-proliferation objectives. Both political and defence elements are essential to a secure NATO.
NATO is prepared for recovery efforts, should the Alliance suffer a WMD attack or CBRN (chemical, biological, radiological and nuclear) event, within its competencies and whenever it can bring added value, through a comprehensive political, military and civilian approach.
Despite significant progress, however, major challenges remain.
The Alliance stepped up its activities in this area in 1999 with the launch of the Weapons of Mass Destruction Initiative. This initiative was assigned to integrate political and military aspects of Alliance work in responding to the proliferation of WMD. Since then, Allies continue to intensify and expand NATO's contribution to global non-proliferation efforts, especially through strong support to various arms control and non-proliferation regimes and through international outreach to partners and relevant international organisations. Allies also intensify NATO's defence response to the risk posed by WMD and continue to improve civil preparedness and consequence-management capabilities in the event of WMD use or CBRN attack or accident.
The Weapons of Mass Destruction Non-Proliferation Centre
The Weapons of Mass Destruction (WMD) Non-Proliferation Centre was launched in May 2000 as a result of the WMD Initiative that was approved at the April 1999 Washington Summit. It is structurally embedded in the Emerging Security Challenges (ESC) Division at NATO Headquarters and combines in its work the knowledge of national experts as well as of personnel from NATO's International Staff.
Core parts of the Centre's work are to strengthen dialogue and common understanding of WMD issues among member countries, to enhance consultations on non-proliferation, to assess risks and to support defence efforts that serve to improve the Alliance's preparedness to respond to the risks of WMD and their delivery systems.
Improving CBRN defence capabilities
The Alliance's effort to improve NATO's CBRN defence capabilities led to the introduction of the five CBRN defence initiatives, endorsed at the 2002 Prague Summit. These initiatives represent a crucial advancement in improving NATO's defences against WMD and emphasise multinational participation and the rapid fielding of enhanced capabilities:
- a Prototype CBRN Joint Advisory Team that can assess the effects of a CBRN event, "reach back" to national experts and provide expert advice to NATO commanders, helping them to choose appropriate protection actions;
- deployable analytical CBRN laboratories that can be transported rapidly into theatre to investigate, collect and analyse samples for identification;
- a CBRN virtual pharmaceutical stockpile shared among Alliance members, which could rapidly support NATO deployed forces with pharmaceutical material to enhance post-exposure medical treatment and recovery;
- a Virtual Centre of Excellence for CBRN defence to enhance visibility and transparency of all NATO CBRN training and education;
- a Near Real Time Disease Surveillance System to rapidly collect, identify, analyse and disseminate information related to any biological outbreak, with the goal of preventing or limiting the loss of NATO armed forces personnel or resources.
Four of the Prague CBRN defence initiatives have been brought to a successful conclusion. The first two initiatives now form the Combined Joint CBRN Defence Task Force (CJ-CBRND-TF) consisting of NATO's multinational CBRN Defence Battalion and Joint Assessment Team, which were declared "fully operational" at the Istanbul Summit in June 2004.
NATO achieved an interim Disease Surveillance capability in June 2007, and a full operational capability is expected in the near future.
As a consequence of all these efforts, NATO and NATO Allies have, until now, significantly improved and are further improving the Alliance's CBRN defence posture with the establishment of the WMD Non-Proliferation Centre (WMDC), the Combined Joint CBRN Defence Task Force (CJ-CBRND-TF), the NATO CBRN Reach Back capability, the Joint CBRN Defence Centre of Excellence (JCBRN Defence COE), the Defence Against Terrorism COE, and other COEs and agencies that support NATO's response to the WMD threat. NATO Allies have invested significant resources in warning and reporting, individual protection and CBRN hazard management capabilities.
Combined Joint CBRN Defence Task Force
The multinational CBRN Defence Battalion and Joint Assessment Team now form the NATO Combined Joint CBRN Defence Task Force, which is designed to perform a full range of CBRN defence missions.
The Task Force is led by an individual Ally on 12-month rotational basis. Under normal circumstances, it would operate within the NATO Response Force (NRF), which is a joint, multinational force designed to respond rapidly to emerging crises across the full spectrum of Alliance missions. However, the Task Force may operate independently of the NRF on other tasks as required, for example, helping civilian authorities in NATO member countries.
Joint Centre of Excellence on CBRN Defence
The Joint CBRN Defence Centre of Excellence in Vyskov, the Czech Republic, was activated in July 2007. It is an international military organisation sponsored and manned by the Czech Republic, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Italy, Poland, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, the United Kingdom and the United States.
The Centre of Excellence offers recognised expertise and experience to the benefit of the Alliance and supports NATO's transformation process. It provides opportunities to improve interoperability and capabilities by enhancing multinational education, training and exercises; assisting in concept, doctrine, procedures and standards development; and testing and validating concepts through experimentation.
Standardization, training, research & development
NATO continues to create and improve necessary standardization documents; conduct training and exercises and to develop the necessary capability improvements in the field of CBRN defence through the work of many groups, bodies and institutions, including:
- CBRN Medical Working Group;
- Joint CBRN Defence Capability Development Group;
- NATO Research and Technology Organisation; and
- the Political and Partnerships Committee (taking over the task of developing and implementing science activities, which were formerly managed under the auspices of the Science for Peace and Security Committee).
Arms control, disarmament and non-proliferation
Arms control, disarmament and non-proliferation are essential tools in preventing the use of WMD and the spread of these weapons and their delivery systems. That is why Allies will continue to support numerous efforts in the fields mentioned above, always based on the principle to ensure undiminished security for all Alliance members. In this process, disarmament of both conventional weapons and WMD are actively addressed.
Regarding conventional weapons, NATO is committed to conventional arms control, which provides predictability, transparency, and a means to keep armaments at the lowest possible level. The Alliance will work to strengthen the conventional arms control regime in Europe on the basis of reciprocity, transparency, and host nation consent.
In the field of WMD disarmament NATO has, with the changes in the security environment since the end of the Cold War, dramatically reduced the number of nuclear weapons stationed in Europe and our reliance on nuclear weapons in the NATO strategy. No NATO member country has a chemical or biological weapons programme. Additionally, Allies are committed to destroy any stockpiles of chemical agents and have supported a number of partner and other countries in such activity.
NATO members are resolved to seek a safer world for all and create the conditions for a world without nuclear weapons in accordance with the goal of the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty. That is why the Alliance will seek to create the conditions for further reductions in the future. One important step towards this goal is the implementation of the New Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty (START).
In the Alliance's 2010 Strategic Concept, deterrence, based on an appropriate mix of nuclear and conventional capabilities, is identified as a core element of NATO's collective defence and will therefore contribute to the indivisible security of the Alliance.
NATO must be prepared to utilise all options at its disposal to deter a potential aggressor from employing WMD. Deterrence is conveyed through maintaining a credible overall deterrence posture as well as declaratory statements that, inter alia, demonstrate NATO cohesion and resolve. The Alliance will reaffirm and communicate its resolve to hold accountable all those who support or enable the use of WMD against Allies.
Improving civil preparedness
National authorities are primarily responsible for protecting their population and critical infrastructure against the consequences of terrorist attacks, CBRN incidents and natural disasters. NATO serves as a forum to develop non-binding guidelines and minimum standards as well as to exchange best practices and lessons learned for such eventualities to improve preparedness and national resilience.
A network of 380 civil experts from across the Euro-Atlantic area exists to support these efforts. Their expertise covers all civil aspects relevant to NATO planning and operations, including crisis management, consequence management and critical infrastructure protection. Drawn from government and industry, experts participate in training and exercises, and respond to requests for assistance.
The Euro-Atlantic Disaster Response Coordination Centre, which is based at NATO Headquarters, stands ready to act as a clearing house for mutual assistance, upon request, and can also assist in coordinating civil-military cooperation in the event of such an attack.
Creating standard agreements among Allies
NATO continues to create and improve standard NATO agreements that will govern Allied operations in a nuclear, biological or chemical environment. These agreements guide all aspects of preparation, ranging from standards for disease surveillance to rules for restricting troop movements. In addition, the Alliance conducts many training exercises and senior-level seminars that are designed to test interoperability and prepare NATO leaders and forces for operations in a CBRN environment.
Cooperating with partners
The Alliance engages actively to enhance international security through partnership with relevant countries and other international organisations. NATO's partnership programmes are therefore designed as a tool to provide effective frameworks for dialogue, consultation and coordination. That way, they contribute actively to NATO's arms control, non-proliferation and disarmament efforts.
Examples of institutionalised fora of the aforementioned cooperation include the Euro-Atlantic Partnership Council, the NATO-Ukraine Commission, the NATO-Georgia Commission, and the Mediterranean Dialogue. NATO also consults with countries in the broader Middle East region which take part in the Istanbul Cooperation Initiative as well as with the so-called "partners across the globe".
International outreach activities
Outreach to partners, international and regional organisations helps develop a common understanding of the WMD threat and encourage participation in and compliance with international arms control, disarmament and non-proliferation efforts to which they are party. It also enhances global efforts to protect and defend against CBRN threats and improve crisis management and recovery if WMD are employed against the Alliance or its interests.
Of particular importance is NATO's outreach to and cooperation with the United Nations (UN), the European Union (EU), other regional organisations and multilateral initiatives that address WMD proliferation. Continued cooperation with regional organisations such as the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe (OSCE) can contribute to efforts to encourage member states to comply with relevant international agreements.
On the practical side, NATO organises every year a non-proliferation conference involving a significant number of non-member countries from six continents. The latest event, hosted for the first time by a partner country, Switzerland, was held in Interlaken in June 2014. It attracted more than 100 participants, including senior officials from NATO and partner countries, as well as international organisations . This event is unique among activities in the non-proliferation field organised by international organisations in that it provides a possibility for an informal discussion on all types of WMD threats as well as the political and diplomatic responses to them. Qatar, as a participant in the Istanbul Cooperation Initiative, will host the next conference in 2015.
The Alliance also participates in relevant conferences organised by other international institutions, including the United Nations Office for Disarmament Affairs, the European Union, the Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons, the Biological and Toxin Weapons Convention, the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe, and others.
Many of NATO's activities under the Science for Peace and Security Programme focus on the civilian side of nuclear, chemical and biological technology. Scientists from NATO and partner countries are developing areas of research that impact on these areas. These include the decommissioning and disposal of WMD or their components, the safe handling of materials, techniques for arms control implementation, and the detection of CBRN agents.
The decision-making bodies
The North Atlantic Council, NATO's principal political decision-making body, has overall authority on Alliance policy and activity in countering WMD proliferation. The Council is supported by a number of NATO committees and groups, which provide strategic assessments and policy advice and recommendations.
The senior advisory body that is dealing with the Alliance's political and defence efforts against WMD proliferation is the Committee on Proliferation. It brings together senior national officials responsible for political and security issues related to non-proliferation with experts on military capabilities needed to discourage WMD proliferation, to deter threats and the use of such weapons and to protect NATO populations, territory and forces. The Committee on Proliferation is chaired by NATO's International Staff when discussing politico-military aspects of proliferation, and by national co-chairs when discussing defence-related issues.
The use or threatened use of WMD significantly influenced the security environment of the 20th century and will also impact international security in the foreseeable future. Strides in modern technology and scientific discoveries have opened the door to ever more destructive weapons.
During the Cold War, use of nuclear weapons was prevented by the prospect of massive retaliation. The nuclear arms race slowed in the early 1970s following the negotiation of the first arms control treaties.
The improved security environment of the 1990s enabled nuclear weapon states to dramatically reduce their nuclear stockpiles. However, the proliferation of knowledge and technology has enabled other countries to build their own nuclear weapons, extending the overall risks to new parts of the world.
At the Washington Summit in 1999, Allied leaders launched a Weapons of Mass Destruction Initiative to address the risks posed by the proliferation of these weapons and their means of delivery. The initiative was designed to promote understanding of WMD issues, develop ways of responding to them, improve intelligence and information sharing, enhance existing Allied military readiness to operate in a WMD environment and counter threats posed by these weapons. Consequently, the WMD Non-Proliferation Centre was established at NATO Headquarters (Brussels, Belgium) in 2000.
At the 2002 Prague Summit, the Allies launched a modernisation process designed to ensure that the Alliance is able to effectively meet the new challenges of the 21st century. This included the creation of the NATO Response Force, the streamlining of the Alliance command structure and a series of measures to protect NATO forces, population and territory from chemical, biological, radiological and nuclear incidents.
In 2003, NATO has created the Multinational CBRN Defence Battalion and Joint Assessment Team, which since 2007 are part of the Combined Joint CBRN Defence Task Force.
At the Riga Summit in 2006, Allied leaders endorsed a Comprehensive Political Guidance (CPG). The CPG provides an analysis of the future security environment and a fundamental vision for NATO's ongoing transformation. It explicitly mentions the proliferation of WMD and their means of delivery as major security threats, which are particularly dangerous when combined with the threats of terrorism or failed states.
In July 2007, NATO activated a Joint CBRN Defence Centre of Excellence in Vyskov, the Czech Republic.
In April 2009, NATO Heads of State and Government endorsed NATO's "Comprehensive Strategic-Level Policy for Preventing the Proliferation of WMD and Defending against CBRN Threats". On 31 August 2009, the North Atlantic Council decided to make this document public.
At the November 2010 Lisbon Summit, NATO Heads of State and Government adopted a new Strategic Concept for the Defence and Security of the Members of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization. Allied leaders also agreed at Lisbon to establish a dedicated committee providing advice on WMD control and disarmament. This committee started work in March 2011.
In May 2012 at the Chicago Summit, NATO leaders approved and made public the results of the Deterrence and Defence Posture Review. This document reiterates NATO's commitment "to maintaining an appropriate mix of nuclear, conventional and missile defence capabilities for deterrence and defence to fulfil its commitments as set out in the Strategic Concept". The Summit also reaffirmed that "arms control, disarmament and non-proliferation play an important role in the achievement of the Alliance's security objectives" and therefore Allies will continue to support these efforts.
Allied Heads of State and Government further emphasised that "proliferation threatens our shared vision of creating the conditions necessary for a world without nuclear weapons in accordance with the goals of the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT)".

What a wonderful surprise I had today. As I was catching up on some posts, I discovered that the wonder Gentle Stitches has nominated The Spineless Wonders for the fantastic Liebster Award! What an honour. We are thrilled and extremely grateful that you've shared this with us. Please do check out this blog. It's filled with creativity and inspiration!
Here are Gentle Stitches Questions:
1. What is the best thing about living where you do.
Glasgow is a vibrant city full of culture and interesting things to do. It's great to be able to live in a place which is near to the city but extremely close to the countryside. Best of both worlds.
2.Tell me about an article of clothing you love or have loved.
HA! Mother, are you reading this? I guess it started off as my Mum's t-shirt. A little sleeveless t-shirt from Puerto Rico. It had the place name and a little frog lounging on a deck chair with a cocktail. I kept and wore this retro t-shirt for close to 20 years despite my Mother's insistence that I throw it away. Funnily enough, I can't find it now. Either one of us chucked it (I hope not) or I hid it really well so that my Mum couldn't throw it away!
3.What is your favourite time of the day.
Morning time. The day is fresh. It's a quiet time. Special. People are generally far nicer to one another in the morning. By that I mean people you meet out in the street. Wouldn't you agree?

Eagles defensive tackle Mike Patterson has experienced another health scare.
Patterson is currently in the hospital with viral pneumonia, Eagles head athletic trainer Rick Burkholder told reporters today.
The pneumonia is not related to Patterson's cerebral arteriovenous malformation, the condition that caused him to have brain surgery in January. Patterson was out of action for several months after that surgery but was activated in November and has played in the Eagles' last five games.
The Eagles have confirmed that Patterson will not play on Sunday, but there's no word on how much longer he might be out.

For the penultimate issue of PSM3, the publication looked at "The 15 game-changing features of the PS4″. It's an interesting read, but missing a lot of recent rumors, as well as some context. In an effort to provide a fuller picture, PSLS analyzes the 15 'features', as well as several other PlayStation 4 rumors.
Well written piece. I'm still hoping for at least another year with my PS3 before the PS4 (or whatever they will call it) comes out.
Really looking forward to E3 2013, to see the reveal of Sony's next gen console.
All the AMD rumours had been of 8-16gb RAM, where'd they get 4 from?
Can't wait to see how Watch_Dogs, Star Wars 1313, and The Phantom Pain will look on PS4.
i cant wait to see whats really coming so all the rumors end.. i dont want to get my hopes too high but not too low either..
I kinda see where theyre going with the way vita performs & the new PS store but at the same time i really hope key issues are resolved.. Sony CANNOT skimp out on RAM this time or cut corners in any way.. They need a well rounded system at an affordable price point that devs can easily take advantage of..
Sony let MS gain way too much ground on this fight so the next must be flawless to get its user base back to the way it was.. Now that devs are more comfortable developing on PC like hardware & find it too challenging to work on proprietary hardware, there isnt room for 3 systems anymore. sm1 is going down this time if not all.. These may be the last hardware pieces that get released for quite some time

SANTA FE, N.M., Jan. 28, 2004 – The New Mexico State Legislature is considering a bill this current session that would provide matching funding for a proposed National Science Foundation (NSF) research program that will focus on the management of the state's water resources.
If passed, House Bill 134, introduced by State Representative Danice Picraux, will appropriate $1.5 million in state funding to provide a 50 percent match for a possible $3 million NSF grant to be administered through the federal agency's Experimental Program to Stimulate Competitive Research (EPSCoR).
A similar bill introduced in the State Senate is being sponsored by State Senator Manny Aragon.
As proposed, the EPSCoR hydrology project would be a three-year collaborative effort among New Mexico's three research universities to develop remote sensing technologies and methods — such as satellite imaging — to better evaluate the volume of surface water and groundwater throughout the state that is typically lost to the atmosphere through evaporation.
Under the terms of the pending legislation, New Mexico Tech, one of state's three research universities, also would serve as the primary fiscal agent for the proposed research project.
In addition, scientists from all the other state universities, as well as from Los Alamos and Sandia national laboratories, are expected to become involved with various technical aspects of the research project.
"Clearly, one of the most serious challenges facing New Mexico is this current drought situation and the long-term sustainability of our water supply," says State Representative Picraux.
"The EPSCoR program conducts the scientific research that helps us understand the quantity and makeup of our surface water and groundwater, and how it influences our ecosystem," Picraux explains. "EPSCoR provides the concrete, scientific data we need to make smart water management decisions. . . . In addition, EPSCoR maximizes our intellectual and scientific resources through collaboration and sharing of information between our universities and our local, state, and federal agencies."
If state and federal funding is obtained for the hydrology project, researchers hope to improve current hydrologic models by integrating land-based and remotely sensed data, particularly in regard to evapotranspiration and surface water/ groundwater interactions — critical study areas identified in the master water plan recently developed for the State of New Mexico.
In the initial stages of the research project, the study will focus on the Middle Rio Grande corridor, the river region from Cochiti Lake to Elephant Butte Reservoir.
"One of the target goals of this proposed research project is to be able to provide daily maps of the evapotranspiration that occurs along the Rio Grande, from both agricultural crops and natural riparian vegetation," says Robert S. Bowman, professor of hydrology at New Mexico Tech and coordinator of the university's hydrology program.
"The ability to retrieve such up-to-date information from a website would be of great benefit not only to the Office of the State Engineer, but also to others who are involved with making decisions related to such things as irrigating crops, or managing reservoirs, or posting levels of fire danger," Bowman adds.
"The database developed from a hydrology project such as this could become a very valuable product for a variety of users," he says.

The most important thing to develop is a reflexive action to not answer any questions or make any statements at all. That is, not until an attorney is present.
If you don't agree to be interviewed at that moment, chances are that you are going to jail.
Van Canna wrote:I think some of us reading this might have experienced what you write here, and possibly in retrospect will tend to deny it.
I think one of the biggest misrepresentations that works against someone who's just been successful in a self-defense situation is the verbalization of that "euphoria" at surviving that is then presented in court as "witnesses heard the defendant say, 'I got them! they didn't get me! I'm still here!' ..." <fill in other verbiage that works...> In reality the comments come from the survival "euphoria", but the "perception" based on lack of understanding isn't a good one. Thoughts?
Ayoob turns to a subject not specifically related to the physio-psychological aspects of violent encounters, but certainly related to "surviving the aftermath," and that is preconditional bias and prejudice.
He points out that, if one in the habit of using terms such as nigger, wop, spic, etc., and if -- to defend innocent life -- one has to kill a African-American, Italian, or Hispanic, such verbal habits will come back to haunt you in the courtroom.
[another good example of operant conditioning...you keep doing/saying the same thing over and over...and it will come out of you without your realizing it.]
Ayoob advises his students to lose such verbal habits, and to learn verbal crisis de-escalation instead. Being able to demonstrate that one attempted to verbally de-escalate a situation goes a long way towards defeating the other side's allegations of malice.
Scatological language is less of a problem, but is still not a good idea. In your self-defense case, you want to be able to present yourself as the innocent victim, not as a foul-mouthed roughneck who enraged the deceased by verbal abuse.

I suppose it would be difficult to pull such an act to begin with and further antagonize the police. Surely they must see this in their work.
For the strong young buck, they'd be looking for "zebras" or unusual conditions. These days they might play it safe and hold for observation (sometimes in the ER) if the chest pain doesn't go away. But they'd have the person on constant EKG monitoring. A fellow wouldn't be able to fake things for too long.

Acetaminophen and codeine oral suspension is used to relieve mild to moderate pain. The oral tablets are used to relieve mild to moderately severe pain.
Acetaminophen is used to relieve pain and reduce fever in patients. It does not become habit-forming when taken for a long time. But acetaminophen may cause other unwanted effects when taken in large doses, including serious liver damage. Although rare, use of acetaminophen has been reported to lead to liver transplantation and death, usually at high doses and when multiple acetaminophen-containing products have been used.
Codeine belongs to the group of medicines called narcotic analgesics (pain medicines). It acts on the central nervous system (CNS) to relieve pain.
When codeine is used for a long time, it may become habit-forming, causing mental or physical dependence when it is used for a long time or in large doses. Physical dependence may lead to withdrawal side effects when you stop taking the medicine. However, severe withdrawal side effects can usually be prevented by gradually reducing the dose over a period of time before treatment is stopped completely.
This medicine is available only with your doctor's prescription.
This product is available in the following dosage forms:
- Tablet
- Capsule
- Elixir
- Suspension
- Solution
Before Using APAP w/Codeine – Acetaminophen And Codeine (Oral Route)
In deciding to use a medicine, the risks of taking the medicine must be weighed against the good it will do. This is a decision you and your doctor will make. For this medicine, the following should be considered:
Tell your doctor if you have ever had any unusual or allergic reaction to this medicine or any other medicines. Also tell your health care professional if you have any other types of allergies, such as to foods, dyes, preservatives, or animals. For non-prescription products, read the label or package ingredients carefully.
Appropriate studies have not been performed on the relationship of age to the effects of acetaminophen and codeine oral suspension in children younger than 3 years of age. Safety and efficacy have not been established.
No information is available on the relationship of age to the effects of acetaminophen and codeine tablets in the pediatric population. Safety and efficacy have not been established.
Tylenol® with codeine should not be used to relieve pain after surgery to remove tonsils and/or adenoids in any children. Severe breathing problems and deaths have been reported in some children who received codeine after tonsil or adenoid surgery.
Appropriate studies performed to date have not demonstrated geriatric-specific problems that would limit the usefulness of acetaminophen and codeine in the elderly. However, elderly patients are more likely to have age-related kidney or liver problems, which may require caution and an adjustment in the dose for patients receiving acetaminophen and codeine.

Proper Use of APAP w/Codeine – Acetaminophen And Codeine (Oral Route)
Take this medicine only as directed by your doctor. Do not take more of it, do not take it more often, and do not take it for a longer time than your doctor ordered. This is especially important for elderly patients, who may be more sensitive to the effects of pain medicines. If too much of this medicine is taken for a long time, it may become habit-forming (causing mental or physical dependence) or cause an overdose. Also, large amounts of acetaminophen may cause liver damage if taken for a long time.
Carefully check the labels of all other medicines you are using, because they may also contain acetaminophen. It is not safe to use more than 4 grams (4,000 milligrams) of acetaminophen in one day (24 hours), as this may increase the risk for serious liver problems.
Shake the oral suspension well before each use. Measure the medicine with a marked measuring spoon, oral syringe, or medicine cup. The average household teaspoon may not hold the right amount of liquid.
The dose of this medicine will be different for different patients. Follow your doctor's orders or the directions on the label. The following information includes only the average doses of this medicine. If your dose is different, do not change it unless your doctor tells you to do so.
The amount of medicine that you take depends on the strength of the medicine. Also, the number of doses you take each day, the time allowed between doses, and the length of time you take the medicine depend on the medical problem for which you are using the medicine.
For oral dosage form (suspension):
For mild to moderate pain:
- Adults – 15 milliliters (mL) or 1 tablespoonful every 4 hours as needed.
- Children 7 to 12 years of age – 10 mL (2 teaspoonfuls) 3 or 4 times per day.
- Children 3 to 6 years of age – 5 mL (1 teaspoonful) 3 or 4 times per day.
- Children younger than 3 years of age – Use and dose must be determined by your doctor.
For oral dosage form (tablets):
For mild to moderately severe pain:
- Adults – 15 to 60 milligrams (mg) of codeine and 300 to 1000 mg of acetaminophen every 4 hours as needed. Your doctor may increase your dose as needed. However, the dose is usually not more than 360 mg of codeine and 4000 mg of acetaminophen per 24 hours.
- Children – Use and dose must be determined by your doctor.
- For mild to moderately severe pain:
- For mild to moderate pain:
Missed Dose
If you miss a dose of this medicine, take it as soon as possible. However, if it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and go back to your regular dosing schedule. Do not double doses.
Store the medicine in a closed container at room temperature, away from heat, moisture, and direct light. Keep from freezing.
Keep out of the reach of children.
Do not keep outdated medicine or medicine no longer needed.
Ask your healthcare professional how you should dispose of any medicine you do not use.
It is very important that your doctor check the progress of you or your child while you are taking this medicine. This will allow your doctor to see if the medicine is working properly and to decide if you or your child should continue to take it. Blood tests may be needed to check for unwanted effects.
It is against the law and dangerous for anyone else to use your medicine. Keep your unused medicine in a safe and secure place. People who are addicted to drugs might want to steal this medicine.
Check with your doctor right away if you have pain or tenderness in the upper stomach, pale stools, dark urine, loss of appetite, nausea, unusual tiredness or weakness, or yellow eyes or skin. These could be symptoms of a serious liver problem.
Check the labels of all nonprescription (over-the-counter [OTC]) or prescription medicines you now take. If any contain acetaminophen or codeine, check with your doctor. Taking them together with this medicine may cause an overdose.
Codeine is changed to morphine in the body. Some people change codeine to morphine more quickly than others. These individuals are called "ultra-rapid metabolizers of codeine". Contact your doctor immediately if you experience extreme sleepiness, confusion, or shallow breathing. These symptoms may indicate that you are an "ultra-rapid metabolizer of codeine". As a result, there is too much morphine in the body and more side effects of morphine than usual. Children may be especially sensitive to this effect.
If a nursing mother is an ultra-rapid metabolizer of codeine, it could lead to a morphine overdose in the nursing baby and cause very serious side effects.
For nursing mothers taking this medicine:
- Talk to your doctor if you have any questions about taking codeine or about how this medicine may affect your baby.
- Call your doctor if you become extremely tired and have difficulty caring for your baby.
- Your baby should generally nurse every 2 to 3 hours and should not sleep more than 4 hours at a time.
- Check with your doctor or hospital emergency room immediately if your baby shows signs of increased sleepiness (more than usual), difficulty breastfeeding, difficulty breathing, or limpness. These may be symptoms of an overdose and need immediate medical attention.
This medicine may cause serious allergic reactions, including anaphylaxis. Anaphylaxis can be life-threatening and requires immediate medical attention. Stop using this medicine and call your doctor right away if you have a rash, itching, hoarseness, trouble breathing, trouble swallowing, or any swelling of your hands, face, or mouth while you are using this medicine.
This medicine may make you dizzy or drowsy. Make sure you know how you react to this medicine before you drive, use machines, or do anything else that could be dangerous if you are dizzy or not alert.
This medicine will add to the effects of alcohol and other CNS depressants (medicines that can make you drowsy or less alert). Some examples of CNS depressants are antihistamines or medicine for allergies or colds; sedatives, tranquilizers, or sleeping medicine; other prescription pain medicine or narcotics; medicine for seizures or barbiturates; muscle relaxants; or anesthetics, including some dental anesthetics. Also, there may be a greater risk of liver damage if you drink 3 or more alcoholic beverages while you are taking acetaminophen. Do not drink alcoholic beverages, and check with your doctor before taking any of these medicines while you are using this medicine.
Using narcotics for a long time can cause severe constipation. To prevent this, your doctor may direct you to take laxatives, drink a lot of fluids, or increase the amount of fiber in your diet. Be sure to follow the directions carefully, because continuing constipation can lead to more serious problems.
Do not change your dose or suddenly stop using this medicine without first checking with your doctor. Your doctor may want you to gradually reduce the amount you are using before stopping it completely. This may help prevent worsening of your condition and reduce the possibility of withdrawal symptoms, such as abdominal or stomach cramps, anxiety, fever, nausea, runny nose, sweating, tremors, or trouble with sleeping.
Before you have any medical tests, tell the medical doctor in charge that you or your child are taking this medicine. The results of certain tests may be affected by this medicine.
If you think you or someone else may have taken an overdose of this medicine, get emergency help at once. Signs of an overdose include dark urine, difficult or troubled breathing, irregular, fast or slow, or shallow breathing, nausea or vomiting, pain in the upper stomach, pale or blue lips, fingernails, or skin, pinpoint pupils of the eyes, or yellow eyes or skin.

Docomomo US/Noca is currently advocating for the preservation of a mid-century movie theater in San Jose, California. The Century 21 Theater, located at 3161 Olsen Drive in San Jose, was constructed in 1963 and opened in 1964. The theater was designed by Bay Area architect Vincent G. Raney with a futuristic dome shape. The Century 21 Theatre in San Jose was one of the first venues built specifically for Cinerama and was the first Century dome theater to be constructed in what would become a chain, ultimately expanding to Southern California, Salt Lake City, and Seattle. Many dome theaters in the chain have already been demolished.
Differing from the Century domes that would follow, the Century 21 in San Jose was constructed almost entirely of concrete and has a larger lobby area. Although the theater was originally designed for presenting films using the 3-strip Cinerama process, it is capable of presenting films in several formats. With the exception of some interior renovations, the theater appears much as it did in 1964 and is one of the oldest of the Cinerama era still standing in the United States.
A similar mid-century dome theater in nearby Pleasant Hill, California, was demolished on May 8 to make way for a big-box sporting goods store. The Century 21 site is currently being marketed as available for development, and Docomomo US/Noca is working to build support for the building before demolition is proposed. Follow Docomomo US/Noca on Facebook to receive updates about the building.

UK Car Park Management is the premier parking control management company operating within the UK. A respectable and professional management company, we aim to provide ethical services to enhance your car park facility and deter unauthorised parking.
Whether it is a commercial, private, or retail establishment our trained parking control staff will provide trusted services that you can feel confident about. We pride ourselves in being able to offer you a variety of conscientious advantages in choosing us for your parking enforcement....
We offer a total solution for your business or residential car park management, including dedicated car parking management, parking permits, maximum stay, no parking at any time, parking enforcement, parking control, parking maintenance, line marking, litter picking, cleaning, and even landscaping.
With over 1000 sites across the UK and over 400 clients, we proudly work alongside some of the UK's most distinguished organisations. UK Car Park Management has over 20 years of experience, making us the fastest growing within the industry, offering a nationwide coverage. We stand by our reputation and our success by having a confident and professional staff that utilise the latest in technology to make your car park facilities the best that they can possibly be for you and your customers. We want to take all of the stress away associated with a parking enforcement agency and let you concentrate on running your commercial or residential estate.
With UK Car Park Management, you have the confidence of knowing that your commercial or residential car park facility is being managed by dedicated staff offering personalised hospitality. More than just another property to us, we develop unique parking control services customised to help your commercial facility operate in an efficient and effective manner. With any of our professional car park enforcement systems, we can create a resolution to any parking dilemmas. The most common problem with any commercial parking facility is unauthorised parking. A simple solution is to use a Parking Permit Scheme that will help UK Car Park Management patrol wardens, or yourself if you prefer self-ticketing, to find and identify unauthorised parking. Whether neatly attached to the windscreen or rested on the dashboard, it will be easy to check who is allowed to park and who is not. Another resolution to the problem is to have the vehicles authorised by registrations sign in. You would have complete control as to who gets added and who is removed. We have many other solutions to the commercial parking problems including maximum stays that limit the amount of time a vehicle can be parked freely. Ideal for a car park with a high turnover of visitors, when paired with a visitor sign in book this method can be easily enforced to help you to control the issue of unauthorised visitor parking.
Our residential parking enforcement agency is designed to address all the main condition and concerns of residential parking. UK Car Park Management specifically specialise within the residential parking sector. We understand the main problems that arise with this type of car park facilities are Unauthorised Parking, Parking in Non-designated Areas, and Residents parking in each other's parking bays. Through our years of experience in private parking management, we have developed a straightforward approach to using a permit scheme to handle the unauthorised parking problems. With each resident having dedicated parking permits for themselves and guests, our parking enforcement Patrol Wardens can easily take care of unwanted cars. For parking in a Non-designated Area, we will install prominent signage, write to all residents with a full introductory letter, and then enforce the no parking areas by patrolling on a random but regular basis 24hrs a day, 7 days a week. After making sure that the bays are allocated and numbered, we will take the necessary steps to make sure that residents understand which bay and location they are allowed to park in. While most residential parking management can be handled through good signage and regular warden patrols, we can also provide a self-ticketing service thus allowing you to issue parking charge notices and enforce parking conditions 24hrs a day.
Just like a retail business, UK Car Park Management is a service based organisation. We understand that the customer satisfaction is the primary focus in a retail car park. Our parking control services can be customised to meet your requirements, as we understand that a supermarket, shopping centre, and a retail business centre all have different needs. We can adapt on a store to store basis or nationally and help advise when we feel parking assets are being underutilised. For example Maximum Stay parking restrictions can allow genuine users to use the car park freely, whilst unauthorised individuals are flagged up as they exceed the allotted time limit. These vehicles can then be handled by UK Car Park Management wardens or a self-ticketing warden system. For Disabled Parking Bays, the blue badge acts similar to a permit, providing a tangible item as proof of the vehicle be authorised to park within that particular space. Often all that is required is clear signage and then a warden patrol enforcement service. With Parent Child Parking Bays the story is a little different, as a normal permit scheme or tangible item cannot be used. In this case a more measured and customised approach is required. Often signage will be used with a Warden Patrol Service, however the wardens will physically observe parents entering and vacating the facility, any vehicle entering or leaving without a child will be logged and a PCN issued via post to the registered keeper of the vehicle. This type of enforcement is usually required for a short period of time to show a presence and act as a deterrent against unauthorised parking in parent child bays. After a short period many visitors will appreciate the conditions and change their parking behaviour.
There is also a variety of pay and display parking options with UK Car Park Management that range from coin operated to touch screen and pay by phone systems.
At UK Car Park Management, professional and ethical car park enforcement is what we do best and what we pride ourselves on. When you use our services, you can feel confident that you are having your car park managed by qualified, trusted and dedicated staff that aim to please. Our trained parking control service staff have a passion for customer service and security. We have a ground level approach that assures that all possible areas of parking management are covered and that your facility is maximised, whether in profit or usability for the motorist. UK Car Park Management has a hands on way that will help you control expenses and keep an eye on the bottom line. We continually work to improve and pro-actively enhance our parking systems so that authorised vehicles can easily access areas and unauthorised parking is deterred. UK Car Park Management is the leading and fastest growing parking enforcement agency in the country. With our years of experience and expertise, let us ethically handle all of your parking concerns

About a month to the day after a stunning press conference in response to the massacre in Newtown, Conn., NRA CEO Wayne LaPierre returned to the public scene with a lengthy diatribe in which he panned President Barack Obama's inaugural address.
LaPierre tore into a single line in Obama's speech, broadening his attack to accuse him of making a "mockery" of the Constitution and Declaration of Independence.
LaPierre's criticism centered on this line from Obama's speech:
"We cannot mistake absolutism for principle, or substitute spectacle for politics, or treat name-calling as reasoned debate."
That line did not seem to specifically target the NRA, but LaPierre accused Obama of trying to "turn the term of absolutism into a dirty word."
"It's a way of redefining words so that common sense is turned upside down and no one knows the difference," LaPierre said at the 56th Annual Weatherby Foundation International Hunting and Conservation Awards in Reno, Nev.
"We're told that to stop killers we must accept less freedom," he added. "If that is absolutist, then we are as absolutists as the framers of our Constitution and our founding fathers. And we are proud of it!"
LaPierre said that Obama wanted to "whittle away God-given freedoms," slamming Obama's plans to reduce gun violence that he introduced last week. He said that the rights to own semi-automatic weapons and own guns without limits on high-capacity magazines was protected by the Constitution. He also rejected a suggestion to create a federal registry of gun transactions, saying the only purposes of that would be to "tax them or take them."
"He doesn't understand you," LaPierre told the crowd. "He doesn't agree with the freedoms you cherish. If the only way he can force you to give them up is through scorn and ridicule, he's more than willing to do it — even as he claims the moral high ground."
LaPierre's speech was his first public comment since an appearance on "Meet the Press" two days after the NRA's press conference. Since then, the NRA had turned to President David Keene to handle most of its media appearances.

Welcome back to fall television! Time to erase all those unwatched episodes of Big Brother and Low Winter Sun that have piled up on your DVR (you're never going to watch them, trust me) and make room for all the new television headed your way in the next couple of weeks.
This fall the networks are taking chances on some high-concept dramas, including a robot buddy cop show, a tense political thriller, and a spin-off of a popular film and comic book series. As for their comedy offerings, the networks appear to be throwing money at the problem, hiring big name movie stars to lure in audiences. Robin Williams, Anna Faris, Rebel Wilson and James Caan (and Andy Samberg, if you count him as a movie star; he'll always be a Saturday Night Live goofball to me) are all headlining new sitcoms this fall.
In stark contrast to last fall, this year's new offerings look … dare I say it … pretty good? At the very least, the new series don't feel as routine or tired as last year. In fact, there are no obvious early cancellations in the bunch. (Except, perhaps, for Seth MacFarlane's live-action comedy, Dads, which has been roundly derided by critics as being both racist and sexist. Still, MacFarlane has his fans, and I won't be surprised if they embrace the series for its outrageousness.)
Without further ado, your new fall television season. New series are in bold on the grid, and the link leads to a preview and more information about the show. Also included below: what to expect from your favorite returning series, and premiere dates of cable shows.

Tuesdays this fall are all over the place. Superheroes? Sure. Family comedies? Absolutely. Vampires? Yep. Bro nonsense? Why not. Reality competitions and all the N.C.I.S. you can shake a stick at? You got it.
We will be blogging The Voice and Supernatural, and watching Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., New Girl, The Mindy Project and giving The Goldbergs, Trophy Wife and (reluctantly) Lucky 7 a chance.
What will you be watching? Are there any other shows you think we should recap?
Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.:
Easily the most anticipated new series of the season — at least by comic book nerds and the Joss Whedon fandom — Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. revolves around Agent Phil Coulson (who was last seen in The Avengers where SPOILER ALERT! he faked his death) and his elite team of agents as they confront and contain superhuman threats. This is a Joss Whedon project and while he isn't going to be involved with every episode, his influence will certainly be evident in the series, which is a good thing. If he can bring his signature humor and self-awareness to this project while staying true to the comic book series, I think it will be a winner (and I say this as someone who is not a huge comic book fan).
In this family sitcom, an adult narrator looks back with nostalgia at his middle school years in American suburbia some 30 years earlier.
The Arnolds The Goldbergs are a family of five, which includes our narrator, 6th grader Adam, his older brother and sister, his gruff father and his perky mother. And there's an unrequited crush. The only thing that keeps this from being The Wonder Years: Generation X Edition is that there is a wacky grandfather involved. It also lacks the social commentary and emotional nuance of the 80s series, instead aiming for broader gags. Still, Jeff Garlin and Wendi McLendon-Covey are pretty great in everything they do, so let's hope that once we get past the pilot, the writers stop using 80s references as substitutes for jokes, and work with the real talent that they've got.
A ditzy party girl marries an older man who comes complete with two ex-wives (one wacky, one Marcia Gay Harden) and three kids (two twins and one adopted Chinese kid). Wacky blended family shenanigans ensue. I was skeptical of this show when I read about it because it didn't sound particularly new or different. And it's not — but sometimes something familiar hits the right spot, which this show does in no small part thanks to its cast. Bradley Whitford has a tricky job to make a twice-divorced lawyer likable — particularly to female audiences — but he's just charming enough to make it work. Similarly, Malin Åkerman has to negotiate being every first wife's greatest nightmare: the younger gorgeous blond replacement, while not making female audiences resent her. And she manages to pull off somehow. It might not be the best new sitcom of the season, but it's worth giving a shot.
A group of employees of a gas station hit the jackpot with their lottery pool, changing their lives forever.(Did they play 4, 8, 15, 16, 23, 42? If so, someone should suggest they not take any trips to Australia for a while.) While it sounds like the premise of a sitcom, this adaptation of a British series is actually a drama, following how the money, while certainly a blessing, is also something of a curse.
Working against this show: no big name stars, and it's neither a safe genre series nor a high-concept risk. Working for this show: It's from a former E.R. producer and writer. Which I suppose is something. Who knows, if the producers of Lucky 7 can bring the same humanity and emotional power to this gas station as they did to County General Hospital, this series might get lucky. (Oh, yes I did make that pun.) Still, it wouldn't hurt if the gas station had a George Clooney doing tune-ups or state inspections.
For some unfathomable reason, The CW has decided to pair The Originals, a spin-off from The Vampire Diaries, with Supernatural instead of its obvious companion, The Vampire Diaries. A mystery for the ages. In any event, The Originals focuses on the world's first vampires, the Mikaelson clan, as Klaus Mikaelson tries to retake control of New Orleans from his protégé Marcel, all the while anticipating the birth of his vampire/werewolf hybrid baby. Come for the sexy vampires, stay for the New Orleans — which, between this new series, Top Chef: New Orleans and American Horror Story: Coven, is having quite the fall season.
Sigh. What to say about this show? Um, it has a great cast? Seth Green, Giovanni Ribisi and Martin Mull are all talented comedic actors, which makes me wonder why they agreed to be on this Seth McFarlane sitcom that has already been decried by critics as being both sexist and racist. The premise is dads Mull and Peter Riegert move in with their sons, Green and Ribisi, who own their own small business where they do such un-P.C. things like make their female Asian employee dress in a "sexy schoolgirl" costume to appeal to potential Chinese investors. Offensive? Sure. But what else did you really expect from a Seth MacFarlane live action series?
Let me begin by saying that I am not the biggest Andy Samberg fan. He had his moments on Saturday Night Live, and I am not going to deny the hilarity of "D**k in a Box," "Lazy Sunday," "I'm on a Boat" or "Like a Boss," because that would be pointless. I'm just saying Samberg's rascally frat bro schtick is not for me.
And I mention that to set up the fact that I think this new sitcom, starring Samberg as an immature but overly self-confident cop, looks pretty good — really good, even. It also doesn't hurt that Brooklyn Nine-Nine is by the creators of Parks and Recreation; co-stars the always wonderful Andre Braugher; and promises guest appearances from the likes of Fred Armisen and Dean Winters. I never thought that I would be looking forward to an Andy Samberg sitcom, but here we are.
Returning Shows:
- The Biggest Loser: Along with your average American schmoes who need to lose some weight, former American Idol winner, Ruben Studdard, will be on the treadmills, being barked at by Jillian.

(That is not a joke. There is going to be a spin-off.) Where we go from here: Baby mama drama, and Casey and Dawson grow closer.
- The Mindy Project: Where we left off: Just as Mindy and Danny almost had a moment, Mindy reveals that she is going to Haiti with her boyfriend, Casey. Where we go from here: Mindy returns from Haiti and JAMES FRANCO ALERT.
- N.C.I.S.: Where we left off: Three team members have resigned, Gibbs pointing a sniper rifle at … someone. Agent Fornell? Maybe. Where we go from here: Fans need to be prepared to say goodbye to Ziva…

Cable Shows Worth Watching:
- Sons of Anarchy: The penultimate season of Sons of Anarchy actually premiered on September 10th, with a shocking episode that featured an 11-year-old kid committing a school shooting with a gun that can be traced back to SAMCRO. This event will change everything for the motorcycle club, ultimately leading to the conclusion of the series next year. (Spoiler alert! If as some have pointed out SoA really is loosely based on Hamlet, then I can tell you how it will end: EVERYBODY DIES.)

By firstname.lastname@example.com
An automatic bid to the NCAA Tournament in Division III will be on the line Saturday when the Skyline Conference holds its title game. It could come down to top seed St. Joseph's (LI) and second seed Farmingdale State.
In Thursday night's semifinals, St. Joseph's (21-3) hosts Purchase (13-13), and Farmingdale (20-5) plays visiting Mount St. Mary (20-6).
St. Joseph's won the two regular-season meetings against Farmingdale, but the Rams believe they have the greater weapon in 7-foot junior AJ Matthews, the Skyline player of the year, who has recorded double-doubles in all 23 of his starts.
"The guy scores, rebounds, blocks shots, guards," Farmingdale coach Erik Smiles said of Matthews, who is averaging 22.1 points, 16 rebounds and four blocked shots. "He can block shots with both hands, pass with both hands. His footwork is unbelievable. The kid can play."
Matthews is ready. "I want to be the go-to guy," he said. "I want everybody to rely on me. It's not a problem with me at all. I accept that role of me being the go-to guy when we need a bucket, a rebound, any situation."
And Matthews, who has pro ambitions, is anxious to make the NCAA Tournament.
"I feel like we have to win, due to the fact that they beat us twice," he said of St. Joseph's. "We don't want to sit back and wait for the NCAA to choose or help us out, we should earn it on our own. We can't say they're not going to beat us three times, teams can beat teams three times. We have to trust in each other and believe in each other that we're going to win."
The St. Joseph's offense is led by Olivier Laurent (15.9), Trey Black (14.9), Chris Jimenez and Steve Velazquez (12.8). Smiles said Farmingdale has to cut down on its turnovers against St. Joseph's; it averaged nearly 20 in the two losses.
"Number one is taking care of the basketball," Smiles said. "St. Joe's runs a great 1-2-1-1 press. They fall back man-to-man, and we've done a poor job taking care of the ball against their pressure or not getting into the habit of taking quick shots after we beat the pressure."
St. Joseph's coach John Mateyko said Matthews is the key, but points to some of his teammates, too. "We just try to bother him as much as we can," Mateyko said of Matthews. "Joshua Smith [15.2 ppg.] and Dyshaun Flournoy [12.8] are very good players."
