Nashville, Tenn. — It's harmless. Intriguing. And sometimes even illuminating.
Simply single out a youngster in the National Hockey League — then try to predict his evolution. As in, who will he become?
Sean Monahan, for instance, has already been likened to Jonathan Toews, Brent Sutter, Ron Francis, Brad Richards, Anze Kopitar.
But Barry Trotz, when asked about Seth Jones, declined to play along.
The Nashville Predators coach has no interest in comparing his prize blue-liner to anyone else.
"Seth Jones is going to be Seth Jones," Trotz, ever pleasant, said Tuesday morning. "When all is said and done, he's probably going to put on another 30 pounds. So he's going to be a six-five, 235, really strong-skating defenceman who could be a difference-maker every night.
"That would be my comparable to whoever you can come up with."
Shea Weber didn't bite on the name-game either.
"I'm not sure," the Preds captain said with a shrug. "But he's something special. Mobility, that's his biggest asset. And, for a 19-year-old, the poise he has with the puck. You don't see a lot of guys, especially defencemen, have the patience and control to make those plays in tight areas — and do it with confidence."
But Jones, like any teenager tiptoeing into the NHL, has had his moments.
According to the kid himself, the first 20 games had been solid. Then? A somewhat troublesome stretch.
"You're so excited that you forget how long the season is, you forget how consistent you have to play — I think it happens to a lot of guys," said Jones, who has picked up 17 points — and a minus-13 rating — in his first 47 appearances. "I don't know what you want to call it . . . but I just didn't play as well in the next 10 or 15 (games). But I think it's been pretty good (lately).
"I'm trying to stay consistent, but it's obviously an extremely high level and a high pace."
Said Trotz: "Some nights he's 29 years old, and there's the odd time he's 19. As any young player who starts to figure it out, those dips won't be as deep."
In other words, he's adjusting. Steadily.
"It is a physical game," Jones said. "Guys are bigger and stronger at this level. When you go into the corner . . . there's never an off-night or a one-on-one battle that you don't have to give 100 per cent."
Helping matters away from the rink? Jones's mother, Amy, moved to Nashville to be with her son. (Monahan, by the way, has the same arrangement — he and his mom, Cathy, live together in Calgary.)
"It's definitely a different lifestyle, playing here," said Jones, "and it's nice to have her here. Definitely comforting."
But the NHL grind itself, he adores.
"You know what? Just the culture of the game," said Jones. "The locker-room. The atmosphere. You're always on the go. Last year (with the Portland Winterhawks of the Western Hockey League), I played a lot of games. This year, you're always flying. It's nice to be around the team. So I think maybe the locker-room is the best part."
The fourth pick in last summer's stacked draft, Jones is proud of the 2013 class, which includes the likes of Nathan MacKinnon, Aleksander Barkov, Elias Lindholm, Valeri Nichushkin and Monahan.
"It's tough (not to notice) — they're all doing so well," said Jones. "Any time you turn on the (television), they're always there. They're always doing something spectacular. I knew they were going to be great players. I knew they were going to have great careers."

Andrew William Mellon (March 24, 1855 – August 26, 1937) was an American banker, industrialist, philanthropist, art collector and Secretary of the Treasury from March 4, 1921 until February 12, 1932.
Mellon was born in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, U.S., on March 24, 1855. His father was Thomas Mellon, a banker and judge who was a Scots-Irish immigrant from County Tyrone, Ireland; his mother was Sarah Jane Negley Mellon. He was also brother of Richard B. Mellon. He was educated at the Western University of Pennsylvania (now the University of Pittsburgh), graduating in 1873.
Mellon demonstrated financial ability early in life. In 1872 he was set up in a lumber and coal business by his father and soon turned it into a profitable enterprise. He joined his father's banking firm, T. Mellon & Sons, two years later and had ownership of the bank transferred to him in 1882. In 1889, Mellon helped organize the Union Trust Company and Union Savings Bank of Pittsburgh. He also branched into industrial activities: oil, steel, shipbuilding, and construction.

What is Folklore?Once upon a time… 'Folklore' meant ancient ballads or fairy tales or the peculiar superstitions and customs of 'primitive' peoples. Today folklore is a tool for studying custom and belief, urban legends, modern myth and even rumours spread via the internet. Much folklore can be found online and buried in the narrative content of media and social networking - from legends and reports of ghosts, UFOs and 'big cats' to language, customs and traditions. The study of folklore is centrally and crucially important 'in our attempts to understand our own behaviour and that of our fellow human beings' according to one scholarly definition. Folklore is a vital and ongoing area of study and one of the few academic disciplines that engage, in a fundamental way, with everyday life.

What is human language?
Language is a highly elaborated signaling system. We call the aspects that are peculiar to it the design features of language. Some of these we find only with the language of human beings, others we have in common with animals. Another aspect of human language is that we express thoughts with words.

Language and Linguistics
Talking, shouting, whispering, lying, swearing, telling jokes or tales, in short: communication of all sorts by means of articulate sound is something we are so familiar with that we hardly ever come to think about it as something unique. However, no other creature on this planet shows the ability to communicate verbally in the way we do. Take a minute to think about the immense impact spoken and written language has on your everyday life! You could not possibly do without it in situations where you meet other people, like in school, university, or at the breakfast table. The examples are innumerous. In this course, we will take a look at the unique features of human language. As you will see when we proceed, the human curiosity concerning language is no modern phenomenon. Language has been examined by linguists and philosophers for several millennia. Therefore, we can look back on a respectable stock of literature on the topic originating from the times of Ancient Greece until the present day. The result is a compendium of linguistic disciplines that are interwoven with the domains of, among others, philosophy, psychology, neurology, and even computer science: a vast and fascinating network of knowledge. To keep you fascinated (which I hope you are) and to keep you from becoming intimidated (which I hope you are not), we will start right away with the very principles that make human language so special.

NORTH MANCHESTER, IND. – Sophomore guard KatieArterburn (Indianapolis, Ind.) knocked down four three-point field goals as part of a 16-point night to lead four Manchester University players in double figures in a 69-58 loss at the hands of Franklin College.
Manchester, despite falling to 7-5 with its first Heartland Collegiate Athletic Conference loss of the season, threw a scare into the visiting Grizzlies (6-6, 4-1 HCAC). After FC opened the first half on an offensive tear, building as large as a 29-point lead, en route to a 47-22 halftime bulge, MU got the crowd inside Stauffer-Wolfe Arena on its feet in the second 20 minutes.
The Black and Gold went on a 21-3 run out of the gate, as an Arterburn trey closed the deficit to 51-43. They didn't stop there, closing to within 55-52 with 5:19 to go after junior guard Alyssa Smith (Bluffton, Ind.) hit a free throw.
Franklin managed to have just enough firepower left to hold off the impressive charge. Fueled by eight straight points from freshman guard Lauren DeSutter, the visitors went on a 14-6 stretch to close the final 5:19.
Sophomore guard Justine Kruger (Francisville, Ind.) added 11 points, two steals, two assists and three rebounds. Sophomore center Stephanie Barmes (Greenwood, Ind.) turned in 10 points and five rebounds.
Manchester University continues its week with a trip to Transylvania University for a clash with the current HCAC leaders and defending champions Saturday, Jan. 11. Tipoff is 1 p.m.
NOTES: Arterburn registered her fifth double-figure and fifth multiple three-point game … Junior guard Jocelyn Hamilton (Columbus, Ind.) dished out nine assists for the third time this year. Her multiple assists' game streak stretched to 12 … Kruger gained her first double-figure scoring game of the year and second of her career.

Facility Will Improve National Oil Distribution
Equatorial Guinea recently partnered with Dutch storage-facilities giant Royal Vopak to develop a crude oil storage terminal that will optimize distribution on the island of Bioko, home of the nation's capital.
Royal Vopak is the world's leading independent provider of conditioned storage facilities for bulk liquids, operating in 31 countries worldwide and providing storage and transshipment services at 80 terminals worldwide.
The continuous investment in the oil sector plays a significant role in the government's efforts to drive the country closer to become an emergent and sustainable economy by 2020.
"This partnership will increase the importance of Equatorial Guinea as a strategic economic and energy distribution hub in Central Africa and the Gulf of Guinea," said Delegate Minister for the Ministry of Mines, Industry and Energy, Gabriel Mbega Obiang Lima. He continued to say "the investment and continuous development of the oil sector is a top priority of the Government."
The partnership will allow the Ministry of Mines, Industry and Energy to distribute crude oil from Equatorial Guinea to other countries and vice versa. This project will improve the storage, processing and distribution of oil in the country, starting with the island of Bioko.
Earlier this month, Equatorial Guinea partnered with Energy Allied International to develop the petrochemical sector in the country.

Kristin Davis Adopts a Baby and Other Family Issues
Kirstin Davis adopts a baby. Cary Grant "force-feeds" his ex-wife LSD. Paul McCartney is getting married, again. And Patricia Arquette has a cyber-stalker. Saturday gossip is ready to become a German citizen.
- Mazel tov to Sex and the City 2 star Kristin Davis, who adopted a lil' baby! The girl's name is Gemma Rose, after the asexual reproductive structure in plants and fungi, and she basically looks like a baby. Davis actually adopted her a few months ago, but didn't announce it until now in case she decided to eat her. [People]
- "Cary Grant force-fed me LSD and it nearly killed me," reads this headline in The Daily Mail, and really, what else do you need to know? Actually, Grant's ex-wife Dyan Cannon claims that he really wanted her to trip with him, like all the time, and he was also kind of a moody dick, which, as a story, is a little less dramatic than the idea of a crazy-eyed Cary Grant putting blotter acid on Dyan Cannon's tongue somewhere in the Hollywood Hills. [Daily Mail]
- Rumor has it that Sir Paul McCartney of the seminal band Wings will marrying heiress Nancy Shevell tomorrow, in London. Little does she know that her husband is dead, according to my best friend in sixth grade. [ABC News]
- What's it like to hang out at George Clooney's lakeside home in Italy? Sounds like you see a lot of old guy wieners! Skinny dipping is apparently a "tradition" at Clooney's place. "First I got Walter Cronkite to jump in. Then I got David Gergen to jump in. And I used Walter Cronkite to get Gergen to jump in. And I used Marisa [Tomei] and Evan [Rachel Wood] in the lake to get Charlie Rose to jump in." You know what should really be a tradition, is David Gergen keeping his clothes on, always. [NYDN]
- Santa Baby 2: Christmas Maybe star Paul Sorvino was hit by a car the other day. But he's okay. Paul Sorvino fact: Paul Sorvino is a deputy sheriff in Pennsylvania. [Page Six]
- Patricia Arquette performed an "experiment," because she is a scientist, and the experiment was "Could a celebrity actually friend strangers and get to know them as a person? Just a regular person. Could you really become friends? Could you move past all that they had in their mind about you and actually show them the real you?" Can you guess what the answer to those questions is? It is, "no, because internet people are creeps." Arquette has since deleted her Facebook account and warned people to "not friend anyone you don't know." [NYDN]
- Kirsten Dunst has become a dual U.S.-German citizen, thanks to the fact that her dad is... Ferdinand II, Holy Roman Emperor! No, her dad is just some German guy who is in no way connected to the Thirty Years War. [People]

Greenville is central to the cities of Charlotte and Atlanta, so it is not just Furman U or Greenville activities that you can look forward to. Downtown renewal in Greenville has beautified the city's inner region, after a long period of decay while shoppers moved out to the suburbs for newly built malls. As well as hiking and outdoor activities, Greenville is home to several art museums, the Greenville Zoo, and the US Road Race Cycling Championships!
You'll need to be very fit if you want to walk your way around the Furman University neighborhood - it ranks only 20 out of 100 for walkability. Nearly all essential services (barring a Chik-Fil-A close by), are over a mile away. Most amenities, including coffee shops, bars, drug stores, clothing and music stores are over 2 miles away.
Look for neighborhood names like Traveler's Rest, Sans Souci, Paris, Minter and Berea if you want to find apartments close to school. Check with the Greenville Transit Authority about public transit services located in these areas.
Greenville apartments are very reasonably priced, with rentals starting from as little as $355 per week for one bedroom places. There are almost no studio apartments available in the Furman University area of Greenville, so sizing is good - however, you will have to travel from 5 to 10 miles from school to get the greatest diversity in housing rentals.
Outdoor activities and early nights are not the only options for getting away from schoolwork in Greenville. The city has a surprising number of festivals and tours, including circuses, winery weekends and festivals, state fairs, arts and crafts festivals and triathlons. There are more Carolina-specific activities, too. Check out the Apple Festival, Oktoberfest, the Mountain Song Festival and the Bluegrass Festival for more specialized local culture. Don't forget to check out event listings in Atlanta and Charlotte, also!
Greenville Tech is one of the nation's 'greenest' universities - established in the 1960s, the student population has just grown to over 14,000. Freshness and innovation are some of the school's strong points, with flexible class schedules and convenient locations. Greenville Tech also has the only University Transfer Honors program at a two-year college in South Carolina.
Greenville, S.C. has a relatively small population in the metropolitan area, but just over 600,000 souls live in the greater Greenville area. It is known as a family friendly city, but that doesn't mean that it is boring! There are plenty of annual festivals and outdoor spaces to enjoy ... as well as a zoo and a mouse hunt!
Greenville is a fairly spread out city, and to get into the metro neighborhoods from the area around Greenville Tech's main campus you'll need a car. The walk score for the area is 66 out of 100, with some scattered choices for grocery stores, restaruatns, coffee shops and bars within half a mile.
Greenville, South Carolina actually has quite a few public transport options, with a downtown trolley bus operating in the inner city neighborhoods. There are pedicabs and regular Yellow cabs in Greenville also.
Greenville has quite a good range of student accommodation options, and apartments and houses for rent have quite reasonable price tags attached. If your budget stretches up to $700 per month, you'll find a good range of apartment choices with some quite close to the Greenville Tech main campus.
Many housing options are crowded just to the east of the city center, so if you'd rather have a break from school when you aren't there, check out these neighborhoods.
For a smaller city, Greenville actually has quite a diverse array of cuisines to sample, and restaurants to enjoy. Lieu's Chinese Bistro is one of the best loved restaurants in the city, along with Pita House, Devereaux's, The Lazy Goat and Saskatoon Steaks Fish Wild Game. Lieu's is quite close to Greenville Tech, and Bojangles Famous Chicken and Biscuits is a walking-distance gem.
Nightlife in Greenville is clustered around the same area that most residences are, just to the east of the city. You'll find places with big reputations but great atmosphere and service, like The Cazbah and Aladdin's as some of the best nightlife in town. Riley's Sports Bar is close to school, and great for a quick beer at lunch time.

Snowbird • An untracked canvas of deep white calls to Pat Harrington when snow falls. He longs to turn his body into a brush and use a mountain as a medium.
"It is what keeps me sane and what keeps me living in Utah," Harrington said last winter after a precious day of snowboarding at Snowbird Ski and Summer Resort.
For Harrington, riding Utah's famous powder might be as important as breathing, something he can't do well when the snow is deep and the turns are good.
"It is one of the best feelings a human being can experience," the Salt Lake resident said with snow and ice stuck to his beard and mustache. "The bottomless turn and not seeing anything for a split second and then coming out of that and having the rest of your run in front of you. It's why I'm proud to be from this beautiful state."
Utah trademarked the phrase "Greatest Snow on Earth" seriously, legally trademarked it and most locals have no reason to dispute the claim.
"I like to call it skiing on clouds," Samantha Ray said, looking a little out of place while wearing a tutu on the plaza at Snowbird. "It is so soft and smooth. You don't get any sounds, you don't get any scraping [like on icy snow]. It is all beautiful; smooth and quiet."
Surfers call the tube of the wave they are lucky enough to ride the "Green Room." Powder skiers call their version of the frozen liquid wave the "White Room." Another fun term is snorkeling, which provides the funny image of skiers so surrounded in splashing powder that they need a snorkel just to breathe.
"The powder is so light you just blow through it," Tony Coop said. "It is up in your face; in your nose. If you fall you are kind of laughing and giggling. It's as much fun as you can have with your clothes on."
Coop's favorite powder-day scenario is a little selfish, but most hard-core powder skiers readily admit to being protective of their powder.
"My perfect day is the day after a big storm and you got stuck up here the night before and no one can come up," the Cottonwood Heights resident said. "The lines are short, the powder is deep and the sun is out."
Coop has had "a few of those days, but not enough" in his 47 years of skiing in Utah.
Ian Shen, 16, likes to ski powder through trees on steep terrain.
"It's like you aren't really connected with anything," the Holladay resident said. "On a steep downhill with nothing but powder it just feels like controlled falling. It is quite fun."
Utah's 14 resorts all provide opportunities for lift-served powder days each winter, but countless acres of backcountry on public lands also have secret caches of "POW." When visiting out-of-bounds areas always make sure to check the Utah Avalanche Center's website for updates on conditions and ways to avoid avalanches.
Resorts average roughly 4 million skier days [a day spent at the resort by one skier] each winter. Nathan Rafferty, president of Ski Utah, says residents turn in about half of those days while tourists turn in the other half.
"It is different for somebody who comes from out of town. Our expectations are high; some of us need more than 10 inches of snow and it has to be really good snow. And sometimes it needs to be really good snow on top of really good snow. We are so spoiled here," Rafferty said.
Most tourists are much easier to please. Some people consider 2 inches of the fluffy stuff on a groomed run a powder day.
"A huge powder day is not on everybody's bucket list. The deep stuff can be intimidating," Rafferty said.
But it doesn't intimidate Rafferty, who grew up in the Salt Lake Valley and learned to ski at a young age.
For him, the best days are the ones that deliver unexpected depth.
"I like the ones that sneak up on you," he said. "When the snow report says 5 inches and it actually is 9 and it feels like 15. Those days are special."
While he would definitely not turn around and head home if one of those unexpected days turned up, Harrington likes to track possible deep powder days with his skiing buddies.
"I have the NOAA [National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration] app on my phone and I track it," he said.
Harrington had started his day last winter by driving to the mouth of Little Cottonwood Canyon at 6:45 a.m., then waiting for avalanche control work to end so he and a friend could drive to Snowbird.
"We were still getting the goods at 3:45 p.m. It was like this all day," he said making swooshing sounds and waving his arms to show how the powder was flying past his head. "I'm even taking a little souvenir home to family members who couldn't come today."
And with that, Harrington headed to his car in an effort to get home before the snow in his facial hair melted.

Excerpt: Billy Lynn's Long Halftime Walk
The men of Bravo are not cold. It's a chilly and windwhipped Thanksgiving Day with sleet and freezing rain forecast for late afternoon, but Bravo is nicely blazed on Jack and Cokes thanks to the epic crawl of game-day traffic and the limo's minibar. Five drinks in forty minutes is probably pushing it, but Billy needs some refreshment after the hotel lobby, where overcaffeinated tag teams of grateful citizens trampolined right down the middle of his hangover. There was one man in particular who attached himself to Billy, a pale, spongy Twinkie of a human being crammed into starched blue jeans and fancy cowboy boots. "Was never in the military myself," the man confided, swaying, gesturing with his giant Starbucks, "but my granddaddy was at Pearl, he told me all the stories," and the man embarked on a rambling speech about war and God and country as Billy let go, let the words whirl and tumble around his brain

Thanks to asswipe luck Billy will have the aisle seat at Texas Stadium, which means he will bear the brunt of these encounters for most of the afternoon. His neck hurts. He slept but poorly last night. Each of those five Jack and Cokes puts him deeper in the hole, but the sight of the stretch limo pulling up to the hotel aroused a bundle of nervous cravings in him, this boat of a snow-white Hummer with six doors to a side and black-tinted windows for maximum privacy. "What I'm talking a-bout!" cried Sergeant Dime as he pounced on the bar, everyone whooping over all the pimp finery, but after destroying all hopes for a quick recovery Billy subsides into a gnarled, secret funk.
"Billy," says Dime, "you're flaking on me."
"No, Sergeant," Billy says at once. "I'm just thinking about the Dallas Cowboys cheerleaders."
"Good man." Dime raises his glass, then conversationally remarks to no one in particular, "Major Mac is gay."
Holliday yelps. "Damn, Dime, the man sitting right here!"
And indeed, Major McLaurin is seated on the rear banquette, watching Dime with all the emotion of a flounder on ice.
"He can't hear a damn word I say," Dime laughs. He turns to
Major Mac and slows down his rate of speech to moron speed. "MAY-JURH, MACK-L AAAUUURIN, SIR! SAR-JINT, HOLLI-DAY, HERE, SAYS, YOU'RE, GAY."
"Aw fuck," Holliday moans, but the major's eyes merely take on a needling glint, then he holds out his fist to show his wedding band.
Everyone howls.
There are ten of them in the limo's plush passenger bay, the eight remaining soldiers of Bravo squad, their PA escort Major Mac, and the movie producer Albert Ratner, who at the moment is hunkered down in BlackBerry position. Counting poor dead Shroom and the grievously wounded Lake there are two Silver Stars and eight Bronze among them, all ten of which defy coherent explanation. "What were you thinking during the battle?" the pretty TV reporter in Tulsa asked, and Billy tried. God knows he tried, he never stops trying, but it keeps slipping and sliding, corkscrewing away, the thing of it, the it, the ineffable whatever.
"I'm not sure," he answered. "Mainly it was just this sort of road rage feeling. Everything was blowing up and they were shooting our guys and I just went for it, I really wasn't thinking at all."
His chief fear up to the moment the shooting started being that of fucking up. Life in the Army is miserable that way. You fuck up, they scream at you, you fuck up some more and they scream some more, but overlying all the small, petty, stupid, basically foreordained fuckups looms the ever-present prospect of the life-fucking fuckup, a fuckup so profound and all-encompassing as to crush all hope of redemption. A couple of days after the battle he was walking down the gravel path to chow and there it was, this sense of reprieve or release, of a terrible burden eased, and all with no more effort on Billy's part than the exhalation of a normal breath. This feeling of ahhhhh, like there was hope for him? Like maybe he wasn't completely expendable. By then the Fox News footage was viraling through the culture and there were rumors that Bravo was going home, the kind of suicidally hopeful talk no soldier in his right mind would dare credit, and then, lo, they were QT'ed to Baghdad on two hours' notice and thence across the ocean for their Victory Tour.
One nation, two weeks, eight American heroes, though technically there is no such thing as Bravo squad. They are Bravo Company, second platoon, first squad, said squad being comprised of teams alpha and bravo, but the Fox embed christened them Bravo squad and thus they were presented to the world. Now, here at the tour's end, feeling soft, sated, bleary, under-rested and overproduced, Billy grows sad and nostalgic for the beginning. They were hustled onto a C-130 in the middle of night and took off from Baghdad in a hard spiraling scrooge. Shroom was with them, in a flag-draped coffin at the back. For the entire flight to Ramstein a couple of the Bravos were always sitting with him, but it's the others who Billy thinks of now, the twenty or so civilians of various shades and accents who joined them for the ride. Not spooks — they were too plump for that, their smiles too heedless of the woes of the world, and as soon as the plane was airborne those guys were partying hard. Good whiskey, music blasting from a dozen boom boxes, a forest of Cuban cigars set ablaze — the fuselage quickly filled with a witches' brew of smoke. It turned out that they were gourmet chefs. For who? The men just smiled. "The coalition." They were French, Romanian, Swedish, German, Iranian, Greek, Spanish, Billy could discern no pattern or meaning in their nationalities, but to a man they were friendly and more than generous, eager to share their booze and smokes with soldiers. Evidently they'd made a lot of money in Iraq. One of the
Swedes opened his calfskin attaché case and showed Billy the gold stash he'd acquired in Baghdad, several pounds' worth of chains and ropes and coins, of such purity that they glowed more orange than gold. There amid the cigar smoke and rollicking laughs Billy had lifted one of the chains, testing it for heft. He was nineteen years old and had no idea that his war contained such things, and what a damn shame for him and the rest of Bravo that it has not been won in the two weeks since.
"Yes," Albert is saying into his cell, which he bought special in Japan, which is two years ahead of everyone else in the race for cell phone superiority. "Tell her that, you can tell her this picture will maul. But it will also reward." He's silent for a moment. "Carl, what can I say? It's a war picture—not everybody gets out alive." Meanwhile Crack is reading aloud from the sports pages of the Dallas Morning News, reciting the odds from America's Line so Holliday and A-bort can get their bets down. There are more than two hundred ways to bet on the game, including whether the coin toss will be heads or tails, which song Destiny's Child will open with at halftime, and which quarter will the network broadcast make its first reference to President Bush.
Crack speaks as if reading from a recipe. "Drew Henson's first pass of the game will be, complete, minus two hundred; incomplete, plus a hundred and fifty; an interception, plus a thousand."
"Incomplete," says Holliday, making a note in his little book.
"Incomplete," A-bort agrees, marking his little book.
"How about quarter where Beyoncé sits on my face," Sykes says.
"Fucking never," Holliday says, not missing a beat.
"In a million years, " A-bort adds, similarly deadpan. Sykes is saying hell yes he'll take those odds as Albert snaps his cell phone shut.
"All right, guys, it looks like Hilary Swank is officially interested."
Whanh, whoa, who? "Hilary Swank a bitch," Lodis sputters.
"Why she talking to us?"
"Bee-cause," Albert answers, punching it, knowing the rise this will get from Bravo, "she wants to play him," and he points at Billy.
Bravo erupts in hoots and cheers.
"Wait. Wait a second." Billy is laughing along with everyone else, but he's troubled too, already he senses the potential here for humiliation on a global scale. "If she's a girl then I don't see how --"
"Actually," Albert says, "she's floating the idea of playing Billy and Dime. We'd fold both parts into one role and she'd play that as the lead."
More hoots, this time directed at Dime, who merely nods as if well satisfied. "I still don't see ..." Billy murmurs.
"Just because she's a woman doesn't mean she can't do it," Albert tells them. "Meg Ryan was the lead in that chopper flick, the one she did with Denzel a couple years ago. Or she could play it as a guy, hell, Hilary won a goddamn Oscar playing a guy. Well, playing a girl playing a guy, but whatever. The point is she's not just another pretty face."
Others who Albert is in talks with: Oliver Stone, Brian Grazer, Mark Wahlberg, George Clooney. It is a heroic tale, not without tragedy. A tale of heroism ennobled by tragedy. Movies about Iraq have "underperformed" at the box office, and that's a problem, according to Albert, but not Bravo's problem. The war might be up to its ass in moral ambiguity, but Bravo's triumph busts through all that. The Bravo story is a rescue story, with all the potent psychology of the rescue plot. People respond deeply to such stories, Albert has told them.
Everyone worries, everyone feels at least a little bit doomed basically all the time, even the richest, most successful, most secure among us live in perpetually anxious states of barely hanging on. Desperation's just part of being human, so when relief comes in whatever form, as knights in shining armor, say, or digitized eagles swooping down on the flaming slopes of Mordor, or the U.S. cavalry charging out of yonder blue, that's a powerful trigger in the human psyche. Validation, redemption, life snatched from the jaws of death, all very powerful stuff. Powerful. "What you guys did out there," Albert has assured them, "that's the happiest possible result of the human condition. It gives us hope, we're allowed to feel hopeful about our lives. There's not a person on the planet who wouldn't pay to see that movie."
Albert is in his late fifties, a big-boned, fleshy man with an unruly cloud of mostly gray hair and thick, wiry hedgerows of midlength sideburns. He wears black-frame glasses with round lenses. He chews gum. His hands are large and knuckly, and dark clumps of jungle growth sprout from his ears. Today he's wearing a white dress shirt with the collar open, a navy blazer with a lining of brilliant scarlet, a black cashmere overcoat and cashmere scarf, and sleek, dainty loafers that appear to be made of pliable chocolate bars. This crossfire of dishevelment and suavity provides no end of fascination for Billy, and from it he infers a worldliness that could eat Bravo for breakfast and swallow the bones. This is a man who direct-dials the likes of Al Gore and Tommy Lee Jones and whose movies have featured such money stars as Ben Affleck, Cameron Diaz, Bill Murray, Owen Wilson, two of the four Baldwin brothers and so on, all of whom unfortunately have prior commitments or aren't interested in a profile-leveling ensemble piece.
"We're gonna Platoon it," Albert says on his next phone call.
"Ensemble plus star, hell yes it works. Hilary's extremely interested."
The Bravos listen for a minute. Ho'Wood talk. It is its own tribal dialect, rich in tonal permutations of put-down, bitch-slap, call-out, and gaff.
"No way. I'd rather sleep with Mother Teresa than make a movie with that guy."
Bravo smirks.
"Oh sure. Like having an enema when you've got a catheter shoved up your cock."
The Bravos' eyes bug out, they chortle snot through their noses.
"Only one battle? Larry, come on, Black Hawk Down was only one battle. Look, I know it's a war movie, but I need a director who can bring some human empathy to the story."
"Enemas I can handle, it's the catheter I can't take."
More nasal chortles. Lodis would fall off his seat if he wasn't strapped in.
"Listen, Larry, we're talking two days. My boys ship out in two days and access becomes extremely problematic after that. Unless your lawyers feel like parachuting into a war zone."
"Hooo-kay," Crack resumes, rattling the paper. "Will Drew Henson throw an interception — yes, minus a hundred and twenty, versus no, plus a hundred and five."
"Yes," Holliday says.
"No," says A-bort.
"Will Beyoncé show me her tits while sitting on my face," Sykes offers, then starts singing in a screechy black-girl falsetto, I need a soldjah, soldjah, need me a soldjah soldjah boy ...
"Quiet," Dime woofs, "Albert's on the phone," which the rest of the Bravos take as their cue to scream at Sykes. Shut up, fuckhead, Albert's on the phone! Quiet, shitbag, Albert's trying to talk! Meanwhile an SUV has drawn even in the next lane, and women, actual females, are hanging out the windows and yelling at the Hummer, college girls, maybe a couple of years older, and they are fine prime examples of that buxom talent pool of all-American booty that runs amok every night on reality TV.
"Hey," they cry as traffic crawls along, "roll down your windows! Hey you, whoever you are, got any Grey Poupon? Woooo-hoooo, go Cowboys! Roll down your window!"
Oh Lord, beauties they are and amped as all fuck, bellowing, whipping their hair around like proud war banners, they are the girls gone wild of Bravo's fondest dreams. Sykes and A-bort futz with the windows on that side and are roundly cursed for their incompetence, then they realize the damn things have been childproofed and everybody screams toward the front, finally the driver flips a switch and the windows go down and you can just see those girls deflate.

The Frick Collection was founded by Henry Clay Frick (1849-1919), the Pittsburgh coke and steel industrialist. At his death, Mr. Frick bequeathed his New York residence and the most outstanding of his many artworks to establish a public gallery for the purpose of "encouraging and developing the study of the fine arts." Chief among his bequests, which also included sculpture, drawings, prints, and decorative arts such as furniture, porcelains, enamels, rugs, and silver, were one hundred thirty-one paintings. The Frick Collection now houses a permanent collection of more than 1,100 works of art from the Renaissance to the late nineteenth century.
The Frick Collection includes superb examples of Italian paintings and bronzes, Dutch seventeenth-century works of art, Limoges enamels, English eighteenth-century portraits, French eighteenth-century paintings and furniture, nineteenth-century paintings and Chinese porcelains. Artists represented in the Collection include Rembrandt van Rijn, Giovanni Bellini, El Greco, Frans Hals, Johannes Vermeer, Fran=3D3DE7ois Boucher, Thomas Gainsborough, Joshua Reynolds, Joseph Mallord William Turner, James McNeill Whistler, Francesco Laurana, Jean-Antoine Houdon, and Severo Calzetta da Ravenna.

Tuberculosis (TB) is a serious infectious disease of the lungs that is usually caused by the bacterium Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Nearly one-third of the worlds population is currently infected with latent TB, and millions of individuals develop the active, potentially fatal form of the disease each year. The continuing emergence and spread of drug-resistant TB strains is one of the most difficult challenges facing control of the disease.
Written and edited by experts in the field, this collection from Cold Spring Harbor Perspectives in Medicine examines all aspects of M. tuberculosis biology, transmission, and infection, as well as ongoing strategies to treat and control it. Contributors explore the biological characteristics of M. tuberculosis, its complex interactions with the human immune system, and factors that influence the progression from latent to active TB disease (e.g., coinfection with HIV/AIDS). The clinical manifestations of TB, both pulmonary and extrapulmonary, are fully described and illustrated.
This volume also includes discussions of recent advances in the development of diagnostics, drugs, and vaccines, as well as strategies for enhanced implementation of existing interventions. It is an essential reference for microbiologists, immunologists, pathologists, epidemiologists, and clinicians, and all who wish to understand and combat this global health burden.
...this is a welcome addition to the library of tuberculosis textbooks. By providing a state-of-the-art review of present immunological thinking, the editors have provided a must-read for students and new entrants to the specialty. The book will also be of interest to tuberculosis clinicians and those concerned with drug discovery and vaccine research.

Oscars 2014: Cocktails to pair with Best Picture nominations
Time to get gussied up and pass out the ballots. You may not be invited to next Sunday's 86th annual Academy Awards, but the front-row couch at home is the perfect spot to catch glimpses of glitz - and sip a few inspired cocktails.
Whether you'll be rooting for "Gravity" with a tequila-based Out of this World or prefer clutching an updated version of the 1970s Harvey Wallbanger to accompany your "American Hustle" hurrahs, we've got you covered with a cocktail menu that celebrates some of the best picture nominees - and a Best Music (Original Score) nominee we couldn't resist.
Here are five cocktails created by some of the Bay Area's finest mixologists.
Brentwood's Manny Hinojosa, national mixologist for Bacardi USA, has a soft spot for "Gravity" and its director, Alfonso Cuarón. "We're almost the same age and grew up in the same part of Mexico City," Hinojosa says. In the spirit of the motherland, and its, er, national spirit, Hinojosa suggests a spicy tequila-based cocktail to represent the heart-pounding, astronaut drama-thriller. Out of this World features Tequila Cazadores Reposado 100 percent Blue Agave, unfiltered apple juice, ginger beer and a dash of chipotle powder. Hinojosa suggests setting up a tostada bar for your guests to pile on the grub as they sip and cast their votes.
"Wolf of Wall Street"
Hinojosa's It's Never Enough represents the rise and fall of a New York stockbroker (played by Leondaro DiCaprio) who ultimately turns to crime and corruption after living the high life.
"It was definitely a roller coaster watching this movie," Hinojosa says of the dark comedy. "(The character) wanted the best of everything, the best suits, the best cars."
And he definitely liked his martinis. So Hinojosa created this elegant cocktail made with Bombay Sapphire East Gin, muddled white grapes and St. Germain Elderflower liqueur topped with Champagne. Serve it with prosciutto-wrapped melon slices (and a diamond-encrusted watch, if available).
"American Hustle"
For director David O. Russell's fictional tale of scams and sting operations, Stephen Shelton and Jimmy Marino of Los Gatos' The Lexington House created the Wallbanger's Hustle, a contemporary version of the Galliano-based Harvey Wallbanger.
"That was a quintessential cocktail in the '70s, and so fitting for this movie," Marino says.
Shelton, in particular, felt that the Harvey Wallbanger was a decent drink with an unfortunately bad rap (like some would-be con men). The bar masters reinvented the recipe, breaking down and replacing the flavor profile of Galliano with a combination of Becherovka, a Czech liquor that tastes like "Christmas in liquid form"; St. George's Absinthe Verte for its anise notes; and Licor 43, a Spanish vanilla liquor.
"We kept the orange juice but cut it down, so this is a boozier, modern take," Marino says. Try it with fish tacos topped with a spicy fruit salsa.
"Saving Mr. Banks"
Eric Grenier of Emeryville's Honor Kitchen & Cocktails has the ideal cocktail on his menu for this film, in which "Mary Poppins" author P.L. Travers embarks on a journey to adapt her book for the big screen. Grenier calls it the Leap of Faith.
"At first she (Travers, portrayed by Emma Thompson) was unwilling to concede to the studio's interpretations and had to take a leap of faith, so to speak, placing her beloved nanny in the hands of Walt Disney with an outcome that ultimately exceeded her expectations," Grenier says.
He hopes the cocktail, made with rye whiskey, spiced blood orange liqueur and pimento bitters, exceeds yours. If you're partial to sweet libations, add a spoonful of sugar. We won't tell. Grenier likes to serve the cocktail with Honor's winter duck sausage plate.
District Oakland's general manager Danny Baker is a poet at heart. For this romantic dramedy, which stars Joaquin Phoenix as Theodore, a divorcé in love with the sexy voice of his computer operating system's voice, Baker created a sumptuous layered cocktail, Love's Second Chance, to represent the women in Theodore's life.
As Baker explains, the cocktail starts the same way Theodore and his ex, Catherine, got along: as simple and familiar as a lemon martini (vodka, lemon juice, agave). But that fills only half of Theodore's life (and this drink). The second half is Samantha, the voice, and Isabella, a sex surrogate, represented by sweet black cherry liqueur and brandied cherry juice. Like the cocktail, the candied lemon wheel garnish has two stories: At first glance, it's a basic lemon garnish. But, a closer look - and quaff - reveals sparkling candy that dazzles the palate. Serve it with cambozola cheese fondue.

Haven Power is an energy company based in Ipswich, launched in 2006 specifically to serve the electricity needs of small to medium sized business customers and provide an alternative to the large multinational power suppliers. Haven has grown significantly. Now employing more than 350 staff and with a turnover in excess of £750 million, the business has gone from strength to strength.
Haven's focus on customer service has fuelled a rapid level of growth since its launch in 2006. For its first five years, the company ran on a hybrid infrastructure that was made up of a mixture of onsite and offsite servers. Haven's systems were not as flexible as it would have liked, with limited support for technology testing and development. The company lacked a complete business continuity and disaster recovery (DR) plan, and needed a technology infrastructure that could both keep up with demand and help drive further growth.
Haven had three options: getting a DR solution through the data center of its parent company, Drax Group; going through a third-party re-location disaster recovery service; or moving to the cloud.
After thorough evaluation, Haven enlisted Amazon Web Services (AWS) partner Smart421, now AWS Premier consulting partner KCOM, for advice, and decided to use AWS to build its business continuity and DR solution. "We sent the tenders out in January and February, and by April, we had started moving our disaster recovery to the cloud," says Paul Armstrong, Haven Power Business Systems Manager. "Having a robust DR plan in place was important to us as a company, and we needed to do it quickly and as cost-effectively as possible. The natural choice for us was to leverage AWS durable and secure global infrastructure for a comprehensive disaster recovery environment."
Haven and KCOM built a replica its infrastructure and launched it in the AWS Cloud. For this, Haven Power has Oracle and SQL Server databases, Active Directory, Microsoft Exchange, Windows file shares and other Amazon Machine Images hosted in an Amazon Virtual Private Cloud (Amazon VPC) in three Availability Zones in the EU (Ireland) Region in Dublin, ready to go at a moment's notice should disaster strike. "Having replicas of its production environment offsite gives us the confidence that should a natural disaster strike, our data will remain safe," Armstrong says. In addition to this, the company also uses Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3) as an intermediate store. Amazon Glacier is used for production database backups.
Haven's use of AWS expanded from there. The company was using an on-premise billing solution for bills of an annual turnover greater than £750 million. With infrastructure that was approaching five years old, the on-premise solution was nearing the end of its life. "We would have had to go through a significant and costly upgrade to get the system where we wanted it," Armstrong says. In late 2013, Haven decided to migrate its billing system, a mission-critical workload, to production on AWS. The company built its billing application on AWS CloudFormation and set up the network using AWS DirectConnect. The migration was successful, and the company has migrated its SQL Server-based data warehouse to AWS. The final solution connected Haven on premise to three AWS Availability Zones (AZs) across 2 Virtual Private Clouds (VPC). One VPC was retained for Business Continuity in a separate AZ and the other VPC was created across 2 AZs to provide automatic failover.
For storage, Haven uses Amazon EBS Provisioned IOPS (SSD), provisioning 4,000 PIOPS disks across multiple volumes. Amazon Route 53 is used for DNS, and Amazon Simple Notification Service (Amazon SNS) is used for notification services.
To manage its infrastructure, the company uses KCOM's SmartSentinel, an AWS Resource Management tool using AWS APIs, and Amazon SNS for scheduling snapshots and uptime. Configuration of the environment is managed by AWS CloudFormation templates.
By moving its billing system to AWS, Haven has seen a 5-6x improvement in performance. Before migrating, Haven's average response time was 500 milliseconds—but by using AWS, the company now averages 80 milliseconds.
The company has realized upfront cost savings of at least £250,000 by using AWS instead of investing in a traditional hardware-based infrastructure. "We couldn't have migrated our billing system so efficiently or so inexpensively without AWS," Armstrong says. "Using AWS helps reduce our costs, increases our agility, and significantly improves our capacity."
Haven is continuing to grow, and finds that using AWS helps capacity management. "We need to continue to grow without adding hardware for new systems," Armstrong says. "AWS lets us do that, and helps give us better management of the platform too," Armstrong says. "We are very happy with the flexibility, agility and cost benefits that AWS offers. AWS lets us pay for only what we use and reduces maintenance overheads."
KCOM, a Premier APN Consulting Partner, specializes in consultancy, integration and service management of business-critical systems for large enterprises.

Kit is a great swimmer for her 5 years of age but this age also has its moods sometimes great and sometimes a true troublemaker. Kat on the other hand, is a serious swimmer who prides in doing laps and endurance swimming. What this means is that when I send the two swimming to the pool downstairs, some days are just perfect (mostly when I am watching them) or some days are miserable (mostly when our nanny is watching them) and Kit comes home crying or sulking with a vow to never go swimming with Kat again (a vow which is easily forgotten by the end of the minute!)
So, today when they came back with Kit howling at the top of her voice, I did not think it was anything different till Kat explained the whole situation to me. Apparently, Kit was getting bored in the pool today as there was not enough space so she started splashing Kat and pulling on her bathing suit and generally causing her trouble. At this point the lifeguard beckoned Kit with her finger (!) and scolded her and warned her that she can never enter the pool again if she behaves this way. What way, may I ask? Kit knows when she is being scolded and does not take it well when she thinks she is not wrong (sometimes even when she is wrong) so she started crying at which point the lifeguard scolded her again!
This same lifeguard was on the other hand allowing a little boy to take her rescue tube and play with it in the pool (bumping Kat several times with it when she was doing her laps) - now how professional is THAT!!
So first when Kit came home crying with Kat, I lost my cool there is something about sobbing and the inability to make out anything what is being said that truly frustrates me. After I heard the story from Kat and our nanny, I called up the resident manager and explained the situation. Sadly the lifeguard had left for the day but she has promised to talk to her tomorrow and get back to me. She says the protocol is to explain to the parents first or the adult with the children and if that does not work, parents should be contacted they are not allowed to scold children (5 years old?) directly- absolutely not their business!
Kat always likes to hear me fight for the right she says it gives her confidence so I guess something good did come out of this situation today.
Once all sorted I explained that everyone was in the wrong and no one can make that right. Kit was wrong for having acted in a way that prompted the lifeguard to get angry. Kat was wrong in having cut short her already short exercise routine and not having controlled the situation with Kit. Nanny was wrong in not having protected Kit when she was being scolded or interfered or called me. I was wrong (and surely crazy) for having trusted them all and sent them together believing everything was going to be OK!
Now that the anger is out of me, I have a severe migraine all that blood rushing did me no good. Did it?

WASHINGTON - A federal judge has released a linguist for the Navy in Bahrain who is facing charges, under the Espionage Act, of possessing classified documents without authorization. But the judge ordered him to be kept under surveillance by an electronic monitoring device.
James Hitselberger, who is fluent in Arabic, has pleaded not guilty to the charges. His job as a federal contractor was to translate documents for the Joint Special Operations Task Force-Gulf Cooperation Council.
The council contains a unit conducting unconventional warfare, counterterrorism and special reconnaissance.
An FBI affidavit unsealed last month says Hitselberger copied documents that discussed military troop activities in the region and gaps in U.S. intelligence in Bahrain.
In his ruling Wednesday, Judge Rudolph Contreras ordered Hitselberger to stay within 25 miles of the Washington area.

text: davelew 3 Posted May 16, 2014 I had a chance to borrow a Nikon AW120 recently for a dive where my SLR gear was left at home. For a shallow dive in the Florida Keys, at 20 feet with bright sunlight, this was a surprisingly capable little camera. I could zip it into a pocket in my BC, forget I had a camera with me, and then pull the camera out when I saw a yellow stingray posing. Set at 24mm with the flash turned off and the underwater mode, I couldn't figure out how to change any other settings. Although I would have liked better sharpness and contrast, I'm actually pretty happy with this picture. It's not publication quality, but I think it's acceptable for web viewing, and certainly the best composed image I have taken of the species. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The divorce between former Miami Dolphins player Chad Johnson and reality TV star Evelyn Lozada has been finalized, Johnson's attorney said.
A South Florida judge signed off on the divorce Wednesday morning, attorney Adam Swickle told NBC 6.
"It's an agreed upon divorce based on a prenuptial agreement," Swickle said.
Lozada filed for divorce last month after Johnson was arrested for allegedly head-butting her during an argument at the couple's home in Davie.
Lozada was treated at a nearby hospital for lacerations to her head, though Johnson told police she had head-butted him. He pleaded not guilty to a domestic battery charge earlier this month.
The Dolphins released Johnson the day after his arrest and he has yet to land with a new team. The 34-year-old Johnson had been battling for a spot on the Miami Dolphins after a disappointing season with the New England Patriots in 2011.
The confrontation came barely a month after the July 4 marriage between Johnson and Lozada, who is on the reality TV show "Basketball Wives."

My dear Windows ME, now as Linux ME!
How about Windows Longhorn that never was? VISTAAAA! Yes, this is Linux Vista in all its glory!
And this jewel? Linux Vista/7 Starter edition!
5 comentarios:
You should get the XP, Vista, 7 and 8 editions.ResponderEliminar
I've heard 8 will be very light...nothing surprising, since it's full of vaporware! :P
Hahaha, interesting suggestion. I'll see what I can do.ResponderEliminar
I pick "Me edition" anytime. :PResponderEliminar
Yes, ME was my favorite Windows version. Maybe I should install it to a VM?ResponderEliminar
I miss Win ME! However, I doubt I'd go so far as to install in on a VM. To do what? I might see it with different eyes now...so, I prefer to keep it as a good memory...ResponderEliminar

Soundtrack to history: 1878 Edison audio unveiled
(AP)—Researchers have recovered and digitized what experts say is the oldest playable recording of an American voice and history's first-ever recorded musical performance.
Also included: the first recorded blooper.
The recording was done on a sheet of tinfoil on a phonograph invented by Thomas Edison and made in St. Louis in 1878. It opens with a short cornet solo and is followed by a man reciting nursery rhymes.
Near the end of the 78-second recording, the man laughs after messing up one of the words to "Old Mother Hubbard."
The tinfoil and the newly digitized recording is being presented Thursday at a museum in Schenectady (skeh-NEHK'-tuh-dee), N.Y., where Edison founded the General Electric Co.
Experts at California's Berkeley Lab recovered the recordings using technology developed for the project.

The annual "Cancer in Iowa" report, released today by the State Health Registry of Iowa, based in the University of Iowa College of Public Health, features a special section on the leading causes of death in Iowa.
"This is the first time in the history of recording these data, that we have seen cancer as the leading cause of death in Iowa," said Charles F. Lynch, M.D., Ph.D., (right) medical director of the registry and UI professor of epidemiology. "Both cancer and heart disease deaths are declining, but when we look at the age-adjusted rates, heart disease deaths have been declining at a faster pace for a longer period of time than cancer deaths."
For decades, cancer and heart disease have combined to account for nearly half or more of all deaths in Iowa. Between 1994 and 2007, cancer death rates in Iowa decreased 13 percent while heart disease death rates decreased 35 percent, the report stated. Declining cancer mortality in Iowa has primarily been a result of decreases in the four most common types of cancer — lung, colorectal, prostate and female breast.
The report, based on data from the Iowa Department of Public Health and the Iowa Cancer Registry, also includes county-by-county cancer statistics. The report is available online in the "publications" section on the State Health Registry of Iowa's web site at http://cph.uiowa.edu/shri/ or by calling the registry at 319-335-8609.
In 2010, the report estimated, 6,400 Iowans will die from cancer and 16,400 new cancers will be diagnosed.
"The projected numbers are comparable to what the State Health Registry has reported in recent years, and there have not been any major shifts in cancer data," Lynch said.
George Weiner, M.D., (left) director of Holden Comprehensive Cancer Center at the UI, said prolonged efforts to prevent, detect and treat cancer will continue to result in steadily declining cancer death rates.
"We don't always see the payoff on advances right away in the cancer rates. The benefits of what we are doing today will be seen in the future data," Weiner said.
There is not a "one size fits all" intervention for preventing and treating all forms of cancer, he said. For example, the most valuable advances for one type of cancer may be improvements in prevention, for another type it may be early detection, and for yet other forms of the disease it might be improvements in therapy.
Cancer is strongly influenced by both genetic and environmental factors, Lynch said. Lifestyle alterations such as smoking cessation, healthy eating, regular exercise and reduced alcohol consumption can be important in cancer and heart disease prevention.
Given the increasing rates of obesity and diabetes, it is possible the leading cause of death in Iowa may continue to fluctuate, the report stated.
The State Health Registry of Iowa has been gathering cancer incidence and follow-up data in Iowa since 1973. To learn more about the registry, visit http://cph.uiowa.edu/shri/.
