If you're going to check out "Due Date" this weekend (and you probably should), you can look forward to seeing the new trailer for "Sucker Punch," Zack Snyder's "'Alice in Wonderland' with machine guns" epic. Or you can just watch it here.
The film stars Emily Browning as Baby Doll, a young woman in the 1950s whose evil stepfather has her institutionalized and scheduled for a lobotomy. As near as we can tell, Baby Doll retreats into a fantasy world where she hones the skills she'll need to make a real-world escape. The official synopsis for the film isn't terribly helpful, but here it is:
"Sucker Punch" is an epic action fantasy that takes us into the vivid imagination of a young girl whose dream world provides the ultimate escape from her darker reality. Unrestrained by the boundaries of time and place, she is free to go where her mind takes her, but her incredible adventures blur the lines between what's real and what is imaginary…with potentially tragic consequences.
We're not loving this trailer as much as the previous one, it's starts off kinda melodramatically and Scott Glenn as the The Wiseman growling instructions at Baby Doll is a bit much, but the visuals remain eye-poppingly nutzoid.
Joining Browning in her adventures are Abbie Cornish, Vanessa Hudgens, Jamie Chung (who was just cast in "The Hangover 2"), Jena Malone and Carla Gugino, whose characters were all introduced via posters that were released online during Comic-Con.
"Sucker Punch" hits theaters March 25.

I've heard black Republicans say that King was a conservative Republican.
But I almost always get silence when I ask them for evidence. Yet this absence of evidence doesn't stop them from repeating the claim.
I point out that the KIng estate in Atlanta has stated it knows of NO evidence that King was a Republican.
Moreover, my own research into writings by King scholars and by KING HIMSELF have thus far turned up on evidence.
In fact, my readings of King's own writings--upon which I based a philosophical analysis at the Association for the Study of African-American Life and History--shows quite the OPPOSITE!!!
If anything it shows that Dr. King was a LEFT progressive and maybe even a DEMOCRATIC SOCIALIST, who saw economic injustice, racial oppression, militarism, poverty and imperialism as part of one UNJUST SYSTEM.
So where is the evidence that King was a conservative?
How do you reconcile this view of Dr. King with his radical LEFT critiques of CAPITALISM and Imperialism?
Kindly explain
And what about Dr. King's idea of an ECONOMIC BILL OF RIGHTS?
How was that compatible with a conservative agenda.
Now tha the Conservative Age is passing, maybe it's time to rediscover the RADICAL and PROGRESSIVE legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
Debatable. They had issues, but Jesse Jackson was given important responsibilities by King. Interestingly enough, some scholars point out that King thought Jesse Jackson was TOO CONSERVATIVE, Historian Thonas F, Jackson mentions tha in his book FROM CIVL RIGHTS TO HUMAN RIGHTS: MARTIN LUTHER KING, JR AND THE STRUGGLE FOR ECONOMIC JUSTICE.
Thanks for the info. I wish Dr. King had as much moral and spiritual influence in America as Gandhi seems to have still in India.Dr. Savant,
May be you can watch this funny bollywood movie called Lage Raho Munna Bhai. Most of the Hindi movies are now available with English subtitles from netflix.
This is about a don who get transformed because of Gandhi's principle. I heard that this movie made great impact in India.
In India there are occasional linguistic/ethnic violence. There were incidents in which Maharastrian(central Indians) mobs beat up north Indians. Usually this will result in Maharastrians living in north getting beaten up too. The movie seems to have inspired people so much that most north Indians welcomed few Maharastrians with garlands when they visited north instead of beating them up. Seems like eye-opener, and prevented large scale violence, also sending a strong signal.
I feel, people can be inspired. We just need that inspiration or that little spark which will cause the "forest" fire.
What I was specifically thinking of was the suggestion made by King (and in one of your posts) that India could perhaps lead the world in the move toward disarmament. Since, as Dr. King suggested, neither America nor the Soviet Union had any inclination to give up the arms race and work for peace, maybe India (in spirit of the Mahatma) could lead the way.
I'm wondering if that's still possible as King thought it was in 1959.
I wish King's influence could be used to both reduce violence within our African-American communities, as well as violence between racial groups....But that's another discussion.
KIng and Labor
If you read King's writings, especially in collection called A TESTAMENT OF HOPE, you will find that Dr. King was always pro-labor. Labor was a part of the alliance forming the Civil Rights Movement. And King's final campaign was an effort in solidarity with Memphis' impoveriahed sanitation workers in their struggle for decent wages, the right to unionize, and collective bargaining. Some of those who were a part of the movement in Memphis in 1968 can now be found marching with public workers in Wisconsin.
And yes, Dr. King would be in Wisconsin fighting the good fight for working people against the corrupt and oppressive plutocracy which Scott Walker represents.
When Bob Moese vistied Bmore 2007, he was speaking on behalf of the ALGEBRA PROJECT which he helped to found, and which is fighting for QUALITY EDUCATION as a CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHT.
Why else would the rulers after the liberation movements of the 60's make sure that education was dumbed down and ignorance glorified?
While chair of SNCC during the 60s campaign in Mississippi, he noted that in those days lack of education was used as a pretext (with Literacy requirements) to exclude Blacks from the right to vote. And, of course, the racist authorities had taken careful measures to insure that most Black Mississippians would be just barely literate.
Now the rulers use poor education to dupe people into movmements (like Tea Party) which are harmful to themselves and mainly sureve the interests of the privileged classes.
Also, people are just easier to control if they're ignorant. Even though Blacks mainly have the NATIVE INTELLIGENCE to avoid the Tea Party charade, many are still dispirited rather than energized. Even if they can smell a rat when some very right wing movment comes at them, that doesn't mean they can easily visuallize a positive alternative. Hence many--not just blacks--become demoralized or cynical. It requires VISION to be able to imagine a better future for which one is willing to sacrifice.
I fear that the dumbing down of education has largely dulled our vision, and the Machiavellian machinations and propaganda of the Right has eroded the healthy idealism of many.
Thanks for displaying your IGNORANCE of the history of American labor. And your STUPIDITY in believing the old capitalist myth (spread by IDLE RICH) that laziness is the cause of unemployment.
Unions are for SOCIAL JUSTICE..........lol
You mean keeping the lazy employeed, right?
They want the world while regula
At any rate, we're going to build a more JUST America regardless of what you and other moronic Neanderthal reactionaries say.
And thanks to that fascistic goveernor in Wisconsin, our efforts are getting a remarkable boost.
You guys need a messiah so baaaaaaaaaaad.
A messiah didn't win the victories of the Civil Rights Movement. The PEOPLE did. A messiah didn't win the rights of labor earlier in the 20th Century. Militant workers did.
We leave YOU to your reactionary messiahs like Glenn Beck, Ronald Reagan, George Wallace, Pat Robertson and others who are being left behind by history.
At any rate, the working people were RIGHT to honor King on April 4. He was one of the few who recognized the inseparability of civil rights and economic rights, and who noted long ago that economic injustice is the inseparable twin of racial injustice.
61% of the American people have at least the good sense to side with working people fighting for their rights against the corrupt tyranny of the plutocracy represented by Scott Walker.
The Struggle continues.
This is the typical disingenuous comment and duplicitous attitude of the Right.
It will always be a struggle when you depend on government for everything in your life.
The reactionaries make no bones about using GOVERNMENT POWER to defend corporate interests in Iraq. They don't mind corporate pirate having their bought and paid for politicians from both parties in their hip pocket. They don't mind using big government to strip workers of their rights to collective bargaining. They don't mind using "big government" to deprive women of their rights to make choices about their own reproduction. But let abused working people, oppressed people of color, women or any other subjugated group demand government action on THEIR behalf, on behalf of SOCIAL JUSTICE---and the rightist and racist cry against the "tyranny" of big government is trumpeted throughout the land by venal or deluded partisans of the status quo.
Those without boots are instructed to pull themselves up by their own bootstraps. Those who enjoy all the advantages of class privileged are showered with all the generous largesse "big government" has to offer.
The victims of corporate piracy are told to fend for themselves which rightwing officials court and serve corporate interests with all the dubious integrity of well paid political courtesans.
But thankfully, at least 61% of the American people are with the righteous fighters fo workers rights in Wisconsin. And I do believe we can win this struggle.
There will be justice for all, especially those whom King called "the disinherited children of God," and whom Jesus called "the salt of the earth."
Your pseudo-patriotism is is MAKS behing which you conceal your fascism and racism, Herr Captain. Your call for the MASS EXECUTION of trade unionists is in the tradition of Franco and Hitler. My defense of the rights to collective bargaining and freedom is in the tradition of humanism and democracy.
I am a patriot who believes in destroying government leeches, communist.

My 30th birthday happens to fall on the date 10-10-10. (It equals 30!) .
Being the bad, indecisive, procrastinating Libra that I am, I have no plans for it other than knowing I'm going to go to Portland, where most of my friends are. I have realized it would fall on this date for about 7 years now. I have no excuses for being such a last-minute planner.
My question is: What the heck should I do on this magical day?! Maybe I'll make a poll. Any suggestions?
The bad thing about such a numerically significant date is that, yes, everyone in the world is planning on getting married on this day. Therefore, it'll be hard to book venue rentals. And it is now less than 5 months away. Oh my!

I think first you should go shopping on 23rd with all of your friends, and then have a nice relaxing time at a starbucks (any coffee shop that you like would do fine. :) ) and then after all of that, you should go to the escape night club and dance it up with a whole bunch of great people. after you are finished there, you should go to the Roxy and have an extra early breakfast. then you can sleep the rest of the time. just my little insight. :D

TRY SOMETHING NEW Chapter 14: Pursued By The Empire's Sinister Agents!
Hey lucky readers, I am back from the great state of Seattle in time to phone it in from my apartment. And what a phoning it in this will be. Last week's column was brutal because I was jetlagged, sleep deprived, and over-comic'd (It's a real thing. Look it up. Happened to millions of people in the mid-90's.) This weeks column will be brutal because I am not a great writer and have been coasting on my mediocre sense of humor far too long. One important thing of note; dozens of readers wrote to ask why I didn't mention Forbidden Planet's Tech Wizard/Razor Enthusiast, Tyler, last week. Sally from Barrie, Ontario asked if it was because I was in Seattle and he was "Out of sight, out of mind." It's a good guess Sally, but no. When I travel I always carry a picture of Tyler in a heart shaped locket I wear around my neck at all times. He is never out of sight or mind. Tragically the reason I didn't mention Tyler is much more dark and sinister. Tyler is on a journey now and I don't think I have the strength to save him. Poor Tyler. Anyway folks, let's find out what is happening in comics, shall we?
Managed to get an advanced copy of FIVE GHOSTS last week. Issue #1 makes it an easy frontrunner for book of the year. Chris Mooneyham's art is stunning, Franke Barbiere's writing never misses a beat. This is a full tilt pulp adventure like comics hasn't seen in a long time. Think Indiana Jones meets League Of Extraordinary Gentlemen. I almost guarantee this book will be a huge hit and fan favorite for the year, the buzz is crazy and the book surpasses it. Unfortunately for you all the book isn't out this week but fortunately for you all it comes out very soon. Not just that but Forbidden Planet is hosting a signing for the book on IMAGE COMICS PREMIERE NIGHT, Wednesday, March 20th. Bob Fingerman will also be there signing his brilliant new collection, MAXIMUM MINIMUM WAGE. And there will be awesome special guests. And maybe a cake or something. Probably not. But great comics should make it worth your time. Mark your calenders and set aside some dollars. Not all of them though because you need to buy some books this week too.
BUDDY COPS #1 is actually out this week. Doc Shaner may be the next superstar artist in comics. He has a smart take on the updated retro style of current superstars like David Aja and Chris Samnee. In short, he draws really pretty. Nate Cosby used to edit for Marvel where he focused on the good but under loved all ages books. He has since moved on to doing fun books like Cow Boy and Pigs. Buddy Cops is like Axe Cop if you want to read absurd cops stories but instead of being written by children it is written by childish men. There is a character named Uranus. Either you find that funny or you should buy something else. I like Uranus.
BLADE OF THE IMMORTAL vol 26. My bet is that most of you don't read manga. That's cool. I was dumb once too. Here's the thing, don't dismiss the cultural output of an entire nation, especially when the nation loves comics as much as Japan does. And especially especially when they make such good comics. Blade Of The Immortal is one of the craziest and most badass things humans have ever made. A shamed samurai cursed with immortality must kill 1,000 evil men in order to be allowed to age and die. Awesome, right? Well volume 26 is probably not the one I would start with, but that's the one that's out this week. Go read volume 1 and see if you like it. If you like reading about dudes getting dismembered, bloodworms, and really detailed portraits of feudal Japan as much as I do then you should love it. Come for the bloodworms, stay for the guilt.
Mike Mignola and John Arcudi make awesome comics like Hellboy, BPRD, and Lobster Johnson. (Fun Fact: John Arcudi used to work at Forbidden Planet. The store probably still owes him like 2000 hours of overtime from like 25 years ago. Good luck getting that John, we're pulling for ya.) Every book Mignola and Arcudi have worked on has been, at worst, well worth your time. When these guys are off they are still better than 99% of the field. (Fun Fact: I met Mike Mignola recently and acted like a big idiot. He was pretty cool though. Firm handshake.) Now they have teamed up with the great Jason Latour to introduce SLEDGEHAMMER 44. A man in a giant metal suits who fights nazis. That's pretty much all you should need to know. (Fun Fact: umm… I don't have any fun Jason Latour facts. umm… Latour is French for "The Tour." Useful info.)
I feel like a moron telling you to read HAWKEYE Vol. 1: MY LIFE AS A WEAPON. It's one of the best books Marvel has done in years. Beautiful, funny, exciting, and innovative. It is David Aja and Matt Fraction doing the work of their respective careers. HAWKEYE is a line in the sand. You can either buy it or be the reason we don't get to have nice things.
I remember reading Ben Katchor's brilliant JULIUS KNIPL strips that ran in The New York Press in the early '90s I think. I bet you thought I was much younger than that, huh? I just write with childlike whimsy and grammar. Always bizarre, his oddly compelling characters made it less of a favorite read and more of a compulsion. Mr. Katchor always puts forward interesting and thought provoking work. HAND-DRYING IN AMERICA is his latest, a meditation on place, property, and possessions. His insights and wit offset the pervasive feeling of wrongness that he illuminates so eerily well. This is a book for those who notice they feel out of place or out of touch with their world.
Maybe the best book you aren't reading this year is THE END TIMES OF BRAM & BEN by Rem Broo, Jim Festante, and James Asmus. The perfect mix of Chew's dark humor and Preacher's tongue in cheek religious and cultural satire, TETOB&B is both clever social commentary and laugh out loud absurdity. TETOB&B #3 comes out this week (with a brilliant cover by Juan Doe), but you should be able to track down issues 1 & 2 pretty easily. Image puts out a lot of new books every months, but few have the heart and personality of this one.
That about does it for me. I'm going to go listen to Lungfish and read BULLETPROOF COFFIN until I pass out. Make sure to come to the FP/IMAGE party next Wednesday and wear something nice. Maybe bring cupcakes. I am sure we will forget.

Rising Serpent [1]
The head of the serpent is slithering into the evening sky this month, with its tail twisting along a bit later.
Serpens is the only constellation that's split apart. The two halves are separated by Ophiuchus, the serpent bearer. The snake's head is to the west of Ophiuchus, so it rises first. It's low in the eastern sky as night falls, marked by a serpentine trail of faint stars. The tail, which is to the east of Ophiuchus, follows a couple of hours later.
The brightest of the snake's stars is Unukalhai — an Arabic name that means "the serpent's neck." It's also known as Alpha Serpentis, indicating its ranking as the constellation's leading light.
The star is in the final stages of life. It converted the hydrogen fuel in its core to helium, causing the core to shrink and get hotter. That triggered the next round of nuclear reactions, with the helium being converted to carbon and oxygen.
The changes in the core have also caused the thick layers of gas around the core to puff up like a balloon, making the star about 15 times wider than the Sun. They've also made the star's surface much cooler, so it shines yellow-orange.
In time, all the reactions in the star's core will stop, and the outer layers will puff out into space. For a while, that expanding cloud will form a colorful bubble. As the bubble cools and dissipates, though, only the star's dead core will remain — depriving the serpent of its leading light.

WEDNESDAY, Feb. 24, 2010 (HealthDay News) -- A new drug to fight osteoporosis, the bone condition associated with aging and debilitating fractures, reduces the risk of fractures and the risk of some breast cancers, heart disease and stroke, according to a new study.
But, like other anti-osteoporosis drugs already on the market, the drug -- called lasofoxifene -- also boosts the risk of blood clots, the researchers found. Lasofoxifene, proposed brand name Fablyn, is not yet approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.
Overall, lasofoxifene looks good, according to lead study author Dr. Steven Cummings, professor and director of the San Francisco Coordinating Center at the University of California San Francisco.
But Dr. Carolyn Becker, who wrote an editorial accompanying the study published in the Feb. 25 issue of the New England Journal of Medicine, is taking a wait-and-see approach. "It may turn out to be a dynamite drug, but it's not anything I would rush in to use as a clinician," she said. "There are too many unknowns."
For the study, Cummings and his team assigned 8,556 women who were aged 59 to 80 and had osteoporosis to take a daily dose of the drug (either 0.25 or 0.5 milligrams a day) or a placebo for five years. All had a bone mineral density T score of minus 2.5, considered osteoporosis.
The new drug is in a class of medications known as selective estrogen-receptor modulators (SERM), which act like estrogen in some tissues but anti-estrogen in other. "They act like estrogens when binding to bone cells and don't act like estrogen in the breast [thus not 'feeding' any cancers of the breast]," Cummings said.
Another SERM, already on the market, is raloxifene (Evista).
In the study, the researchers found that lasofoxifene "reduces the risk of all fractures (spinal and elsewhere), breast cancer, heart disease and stroke," Cummings said. "Breast cancer by more than half, nonspinal fractures by about a quarter, which is similar to what other drugs have done, stroke and heart disease by a quarter to a third."
The results he cites are all for the higher dose, 0.5 milligrams a day, when compared to placebo. The higher dose worked better, they found, and is the dose planned for clinical use.
When Cummings looked at adverse events during the follow-up, he found deaths were comparable in the high-dose and placebo group (73 and 65), but more deaths occurred in the low-dose group (90) from any cause.
More women taking the drug developed lung cancer, too -- 28 compared to four in the placebo group. Cummings said that may be related to chance.
Blood clot risk more than doubled on the drug, they found, a risk similar to what is found with estrogen and other SERMs, although the absolute risk was still small.
"The big news for osteoporosis is that lasofoxifene also prevents the fractures that cause most of the disability," Cummings said, referring to non-spinal fractures such as hip, upper arm and pelvis.
But Becker pointed out in her editorial that this effect did not kick in until five years, and the absolute risk reductions were small.
Women with osteoporosis should first consider drugs known as bisphosphonates (Fosamax and others), Cummings said, turning to SERM drugs if they are considered at higher risk.
Cummings has reported receiving consulting fees from pharmaceutical companies including Pfizer, which is developing Fablyn. Becker reports no disclosures.

Google Slides is a very good free presentation tool. It is particularly good if you want to:
- Collaborate with multiple presenters to build a slide deck
- Present to a worldwide audience via Google Hangout
- Present from a mobile device like a smartphone
And now Slides has added a new feature that makes it incredibly useful for almost any presentation setting. Slides now can allow for collection of questions during a presentation. You can read more about this feature here, or watch the following video:
The steps are pretty straightforward:
The steps are pretty straightforward:
- Create/upload a presentation (you can upload a PowerPoint presentation and it will be converted to Slides format
- At presentation time, in the upper right corner use the drop down next to "Present" and select "Use new audience Q & A.."
- Click start new
- The URL for the Q & A page will be displayed on your slide.
- Users can enter questions (anonymously or not)
- They can vote others' questions up or down
- You can see the most popular questions and answer them during or at the end of the presentation
This is a great tool to engage your audience and make your teaching more student-centered.
I recently used this tool for the first time at a keynote I was delivering at the Massachusetts General Hospital ECOTE 16 education symposium. While using this feature was easy, I had a slight wrinkle. I like PowerPoint due to the granular control on graphics, animations and transitions and also I present using a Surface Pro that lets me write on the slides as I present. I did not want to give up on this functionality.
So I ran Google Slides in the background! I went through the present >> use audience Q/A steps, >> grabbed the URL for submitting questions and pasted this on my intro slide in PowerPoint.
It went like a charm. I got the best of both worlds -- PowerPoint on a Surface Pro and Google Slides in the background to collect questions! I was able to answer some of the most popular questions before running out of time. But I was able to review all the questions that got asked which helps me prepare for a similar talk I might give in the future.
Here is a list of all the questions which I was able to get from the "tools" menu in Google Slides.

DANBURY, Conn. (9/24/11) – The Kean University football team amassed 554 yards of total offense en-route to defeating host Western Connecticut State University, 44-33, in New Jersey Athletic Conference action on Saturday afternoon.
The #12/17 Cougars (3-0, 2-0 NJAC) remain undefeated, as senior Chris DiMicco rushed for a career-high 195 yards and two touchdowns. Senior quarterback Thomas D'Ambrisi completed 23-of-38 passes for a season-high 284 yards passing and two touchdowns.
For WestConn (0-3, 0-2 NJAC), rookie quarterback Hime Rraci recorded 337 yards of total offense and had three total touchdowns.
The Colonials took a 6-0 lead for the only points of the opening quarter, as Rraci scored on an eight-yard run with just under seven minutes remaining.
Kean tied the game partway through the second quarter when sophomore Bob Klecha blocked the punt and the Cougars recovered in the endzone. It was the second time this season the Cougars have blocked a punt for a touchdown. On the team's next possession, DiMicco had four carries for 42 yards, including the one-yard touchdown run for the 13-6 lead with five minutes left in the half following the extra point.
Rraci answered right back for the Colonials, scoring on a 65-yard touchdown run on third-and-one, as WestConn tied the game less than a minute later.
Late in the quarter, junior T.J. Denehy set up the final score of the half, returning a Colonial punt 22-yards to the WestConn 20-yard line. Denehy then caught the first pass of the drive for a 10-yard game and two plays later, D'Ambrisi hit senior Chris Suozzo with the seven-yard touchdown reception for the 20-13 lead at halftime.
In the second half, Denehy scored the only touchdown of the third quarter with the 12-yard reception from D'Ambrisi to extend the lead to 27-13.
A 29-yard field goal from senior Billy Daniels gave the Cougars a 17-point lead at 30-13 just seconds into the fourth quarter.
The Colonials pulled back to within 10 points on their next possession, as Rraci had a 55-yard run to set-up a nine-yard touchdown pass to Dave Plaskon with 13:39 remaining.
That would be as close as WestConn would get though, as both teams scored twice more in the high-scoring fourth quarter. DiMicco added a six-yard scoring run and sophomore Sean McKee had a 29-yard rushing touchdown for the Cougars in the final quarter.
DiMicco, who is in his first season as a starter, carried the ball 27 times to nearly post his first 200-yard game. McKee added eight carries for 48 yards.
On the receiving end of D'Ambrisi's 284 yards passing, Suozzo had a career-best 10 catches for 94 yards, while Denehy made seven receptions for the career-high 120 yards receiving.
Defensively, senior linebacker Bekim Bujari made 14 tackles, including two tackles for a loss, while junior Will Evans had six solo stops and two interceptions. Kean made a total of 12 pass break-ups in the game, with junior Chris VanFechtmann making four and senior Jamahl Williams having three.
For the Colonials, Rraci had 163 yards rushing and two touchdowns on just 16 carries, while adding 174 yards passing.
On defense, Greg Galasso and Mike Lacaria each had 12 tackles, with Galasso also having an interception.
The Cougars return home on Friday, September 30, when they host The College of New Jersey in NJAC action at 7 p.m.

Four Seasons hosts bridal events and designers in Denver, Vail
The actual ceremonies might not be happening for awhile but it's certainly wedding season. Bridal fashion shows, catering events, vendors displaying invitations, music and photography all are being touted around town. Among the splashiest such affairs was the Unveiled party at the Four Seasons.
New York bridal designer Angel Rivera showed looks from his spring and summer collection, while the catering staff hosted more than 100 brides-to-be, their fiances and friends for cocktails and hors d'oeuvres. A veritable army of wedding professionals participated. Who knew there were so many people in town doing deluxe invitations, event design and planning, music and photography?
During the cocktail reception, wedding and catering pros from the Four Seasons shared some trends. Angie Vossler says color combinations like peach and gray are strong; navy blue, white and pink are still hot as well. Couples are having big wedding parties, and breaking the event into multiple locations: scheduling cocktails at the pool terrace for example, and then dinner in the ballroom. Photo booths continue to be a fun diversion for guests — with everyone dressed up, they want to have pictures taken.
For menus, an ingredient that's surprisingly popular is a classic: cucumbers. "You can have them in drinks and in appetizers — what's old is new again," said Geena Urbina from Four Seasons in Vail. Fish dishes like ahi and seafood displays are big requests as well.
How about the cake? It's not always the focal point any more, the pros say. Instead, couples are often doing smaller cakes and then big dessert displays with a variety of bite-sized sweets. "It's the 'wow' factor they're after," said Kate Kelly of the Denver Four Seasons.
Among those attending the event were bride-to-be Cori Plotkin, who's planning a July 28 wedding. She said the best decision she's made so far, after saying "yes" to her fiance, was to hire a wedding planner. "Emily Campbell has made my life so much easier!" Plotkin said.
Jennifer Crick, who plans to marry Sept. 15, was hoping to get ideas on dresses as she had "no idea" what she'll be wearing at Dunafon Castle in Bear Creek Canyon.
New York-based bridal designer Rivera had plenty of suggestions for her, and talked a little about trends. "Every bride wants to be a modern-day princess," he said. Speaking of princesses — or more accurately — duchesses, he said while women might think they want to try a sleeved gown like the one Catherine Middleton famously wore last year for her wedding to Prince William, reality intervenes. "Those sleeves can be constricting," he said. For that reason, Rivera continues to sell more strapless and bare-sleeve styles.
He aims to please brides by offering a variety of silhouettes that combine rich fabrics and embellishments like beads and textural appliques. While he has full-blown ballgowns in the collection, there were also figure-accentuating ruched looks and designs with trumpet skirts.
The trend to a bride having different dresses for the ceremony and the reception continues — and for her Rivera has designed some "convertible" styles. One is a ballgown that has a removable train that reveals a trumpet-shaped skirt underneath, while another has a bubble shaped skirt that can be zipped off to reveal a minidress.
Rivera showed his line over the weekend at Anna-Be Bridal, 1575 Boulder St. More at anna-be.com and angelriveracouture.com. Check out wedding photos and venues at the Four Seasons Denver and Four Seasons Vail websites.

Giuoco Piano
The Giuoco Piano is said to be the oldest opening recorded in chess. Instead of developing the bishop to b5, white instead attacks the center and aims at the weak f7 square. After black responds bishop to c5 you see the tension building up in the center of the board...
White eventually plans to bring his pawn to d4 and black plans to bring his pawn to d5. As you can tell from the setup, there are no attacks from the outside but instead everything runs through the middle.

HDD Pictures of Diamond Bridal Sets on a Budget
Saving Money on the Diamond Bridal SetsThe first tip on how to save money when you buy the diamond bridal sets would be to buy a preowned one. This is the simplest solution that you can do without having to sacrifice the quality. There are many women who sell their bridal sets when they are not longer married to the same spouse or they simply want to upgrade to a bigger and more expensive stone.
The next tip would be to choose between the natural or synthetic diamond sets. Natural means that the diamond is in the original shape as when it is mined from the depth of the earth. On the other hand, the synthetic would mean that there have been some treatments done to the stone. The lab diamonds may look flawless and they are also less expensive than the natural diamond bridal sets.

With less than three years in office as head of the two complex worlds of onshore and offshore wind energy at Siemens Energy, Ferlemann barely had time to find his feet before leaving the company "by mutual agreement to pursue new career challenges".
In contrast, Ferlemann's predecessor Andreas Nauen had spent roughly six years as head of Siemens Wind before moving to become CEO of the Suzlon-owned Repower Systems.
Siemens declined to comment on whether the change at the helm is connected to the temporary output curtailment of all turbines worldwide using the B53-type blade after breakages in California and Iowa earlier this year. The incidents were embarrassing, the company did not reveal the cost of what looks like a quality control failure. Siemens said the adhesive bonding failure responsible for the fractures was "caused by insufficient surface preparation of the root segments" — that is, the pre-cast inserts used to construct the blade root that are delivered to Siemens by a number of suppliers.
As of 30 May, the majority of wind turbines with B53 blades had been inspected and returned to operation. On a small number of blades indications of delamination have been discovered, and these blades will be replaced, according to Siemens.
Clash of opinions
Ferlemann may also have come into conflict with Siemens' corporate view on the German Energiewende — the switch to increasing reliance on renewable energies — as propagated by Peter Loescher, Siemens group chairman, on 5 June. Löscher recommended slowing the Energiewende by setting a target of 40% share of renewables electricity by 2030 instead of the current 50% — which would help Siemens conventional power station sector — and replacing the German feed-in tariff support system — which has allowed the growth of a strong turbine manufacturing sector — with wind project auctions, the winning bidder touting the cheapest electricity price. Countries with wind project auction systems generally show slower expansion of the wind sector, have little if any domestic turbine manufacturing capability and rely on heavyweight energy companies rather than generally more agile medium and small-sized project developers for wind developments.
After his switch to Siemens in October 2011 from a position as head of automotive chassis systems at Benteler-Automobiltechnik, Ferlemann provided "essential stimuli", according to Michael Suess, board member at Siemens and Siemens Energy CEO.
Ferlemann brought in best practices from the truck industry, for instance reducing the number of turbine platforms, as a step towards industrialisation of turbine production, a Siemens spokeswoman said. Siemens Wind's offering now comprises of two onshore turbine platforms and two offshore turbine platforms, each with and without gearbox respectively. The aim is to analyse turbine components, develop a modular design with standardisation of parts and to move away from vertical integration towards more outsourcing of non-key components, the Siemens spokeswoman said. The 6MW D6 platform has been developed from the start with a modular concept, she noted. Blades are a key-component and remain in-house, she stressed.
Tacke has been with Siemens since 1998 and has headed the industrial power businessunit in the oil and gas division of Siemens Energy since October 2009. He also has experience in small industrial steam turbines, of around 250MW per unit. It therefore looks as though, like Ferlemann, he is entering the wind energy field with little or no experience in the sector. But his current post has involved energy company customers that also buy wind turbines. Siemens has concentrated on large utility-scale wind projects, one of the reasons why it has not gained a foothold in the German onshore market, which generally involves small projects, said the Siemens spokeswoman.
"Tacke has yet to take up his post. It is too early too say where his aims lie," another Siemens spokesman said. But the overall target is to reduce the costs of onshore and offshore wind energy to compete directly with conventional energies within this decade and by 2030 respectively, he stressed. He cited Siemens data for average costs around the world, currently EUR 0.05-0.10/kWh for onshore wind and EUR 0.11-0.16/kWh for offshore, compared with new coal generation at EUR 0.03-0.08/kWh, new nuclear at EUR 0.05-0.08/kWh and new natural gas generation at Eur 0.02-0.07/kWh.
The outlook certainly looks upbeat in view of Siemens Wind's record incoming orders in the last business quarter reported, January-March 2013, of EUR 3.3 billion. This compares with EUR 1.2 billion and EUR 2.3 billion in the previous two quarters, September-December 2012, July to September 2012, respectively.

Gift Giving That Doesn't Break the Bank
18-Nov-2008 4:00 PM EST
Available for logged-in reporters only
KEYWORDSHoliday Spending, Budget, Economy, Gifts, Christmas
Newswise — American consumers have a lot of challenges this holiday shopping season. For many, the most important challenge can be spreading holiday cheer and giving gifts without overspending on an already tight budget.
"Holiday spending will put a big dent in most people's budgets because when they budget annually for such gifts, they usually don't reserve enough for the December timeframe," says Caroline Fulmer, assistant professor of consumer sciences at The University of Alabama. "For most of us, unless we set aside a special Christmas savings account, holiday spending causes us to tighten our belts on other expenses."
Ideally, the time to start a holiday budget is in January, just after the holiday season. Fulmer advises setting a spending limit and gradually building it throughout the year.
"If you want to spend $1,000 on gifts among family and friends, you should try setting aside $80 to $90 a month beginning in January so you have enough money when November arrives."
There is a way to alleviate the strain of holiday expenses now, but it will involve making decisions about what's important to you and your family during November, December and even January. Fulmer suggests cutting back on the extras like dining out, entertainment, and extra clothing, then spreading that money among holiday purchases.
Most important, don't overspend. The wish list can't always be fulfilled in its entirety. The best solution for immediate relief is being more thoughtful in the gifts we give, Fulmer says. Rather than making the usual purchases from a department store, Fulmer encourages giving gifts that are high in value and low in cost.
"Now is the time for consumers to focus on the thought and spirit of the season, not the amount of money," Fulmer says. "Look for those things that are special. A friend of mine is gathering all of the old family photos, scanning them, and creating a photo album. She saves money by using her own computer, and she is making a gift that is priceless to her father."
Sometimes, you just overspend. How do you get back on track? Look for those places in your monthly expenses where you can carve out unnecessary purchases. Meet your needs while avoiding those things that you want. Again, dining and entertainment might get cut from the monthly budget, but it allows more financial flexibility next holiday season.
Fulmer includes a few more suggestions of gifts that cost time, not money.

Dec. 4, 2009
NORTH DARTMOUTH, MA-The University of Massachusetts Dartmouth's indoor track and field teams are looking to improve as they begin their schedule this Saturday. They will participate at Northeastern's Jay Carisella Track and Field Invitational at the Reggie Lewis Center in Boston.
"I think we'll be improved in both genders," said UMass Dartmouth Head Coach Steve Gardiner. "We should be better, if the pre-season workouts are any indication."
"Our women's team graduated only (senior) Hilary Baker T(Middleborough, MA/Middleborough HS, who scored in the Little East Conference meet indoors in the shot put," said Gardiner. "We return some others, and we added few promising freshmen as well. (Senior) Jess Carpenter (Rutland, MA/Wachusett Regional HS), who will be a middle distance runner; (junior) Linee Mello-Frost (New Bedford, MA/New Bedford HS), who was the conference champion indoor in the hurdles; and (junior) Briley Morrill (Whitman, MA/Whitman-Hanson Regional HS), who leads our sprinters, will be our captains. Joining us from cross country will be (sophomore) Caitlin McGarigal (Shutesbury, MA/Amherst-Pelham Regional HS), who pretty much burst on the scene this fall with nor organized running experience and had a really fine season. We expect her to be a valuable runner at 3000 and 5000 meters during the year. We also have (junior) Jermai Harrison (Brockton, MA/Brockton HS), the conference meet record holder in the shot put and the conference champion indoors and outdoors, and (sophomore) Brittany Cole (Dartmouth, MA/Dartmouth HS), who scored both indoors and outdoors in the shot put. Both of them have had really good off-seasons, and made major progress this year."
Some newcomers will also be counted on. "Our promising freshmen include Jillian Van Ness (Agawam, MA/Agawam HS), the state Division II champion in the 55 meter dash, and her teammate, (freshman) Alison Black (Feeding Hills, MA/Agawam HS), who will be running sprints and long jumping for us. Another freshman is Kim Urena (Marlborough, MA/Marlborough HS), who will make her presence felt in the conference running the 400 through the 800. Also returning are (sophomore) Kristina Lundquist (Yarmouthport, MA/Dennis-Yarmouth HS) in the hurdles, (sophomore) Megan Oliveira (Somerset, MA/Somerset HS) in the middle distance races, and (sophomores) Stacey Dybel (Littleton, MA/Notre Dame HS) and Tessa McGrail (Shrewsbury, MA/Shrewsbury HS) in the distance races."
The men's team has several key performers returning. "We will return the majority of our men's team, with the exception of two conference champs, (senior) Tyler Buck (Valley Center, CA/Valley Center HS) at 600 meters and (graduate student) Eric Holmes (Abington, MA/Abington HS), a three-time conference champion in the steeplechase outdoors."
The hurdles should be a strength. "All five of our hurdlers qualified for the Division III New Englands, and they all return," said Gardiner. "We'll have (juniors) Jeff Beal (Townsend, MA/North Middlesex HS), Nick Deininger (North Attleboro, MA/North Attleboro HS), James Morgan (Stoneham, MA/Stoneham HS/Assumption) and Marcus Williams (Worcester, MA/Doherty HS) and (sophomore) Brian McArdle (Winchester, MA/Winchester HS), so we'll be pretty deep there. We have (sophomore) Hymlaire Lamisere (Newton, MA/Newton North HS/Iona) in the long sprints, as well as two freshman recruits who have done well at the state level. Paul Connor (Milton, MA/Milton HS) was the state champion in 2008 at 400 meters, and Paul Grafov (Dartmouth, MA), from Dartmouth HS. In the middle distance events, we have three more freshmen in Scott Connolly (Sharon, MA/Sharon HS), Matthew Ford (Pembroke, MA/Pembroke HS), and Chris Harney (Mansfield, MA/Mansfield HS). In the distance events, we return (seniors) Matt Lemanski (East Longmeadow, MA/East Longmeadow HS), Tim Whelan (Abington, MA/Abington HS), and Derek Stevens (Swampscott, MA/Swampscott HS), who placed in the conference championships last year at 3000 meters indoors, as well as (juniors) Andrew Yingling (Centerville, MA/Barnstable HS/Cape Cod CC), Nick Santoro (Shrewsbury, MA/St. John's HS), who was our top cross country runner, Eric Nygaard (Medway, MA/Medway HS), who scored indoors and outdoors in the conference, and Steve Burke (Norwell, MA/Norwell HS), as well as sophomore Kevin Gilmore (Hanson, MA/Whitman-Hanson Regional HS). In the jumps, we will feature (junior) Kevin Markie (North Attleboro, MA/North Attleboro HS/Nichols), the conference outdoor champion in the triple jump, and we'll be led in the throws by (sophomore) Robert Yarbough (Fall River, MA/Durfee HS)."
Gardiner hopes that increased depth will lead to success. "On the women's side, we're in the process of building the numbers up," said Gardiner. "We've increased the size of our squad 50 per cent since last year. The men's team has depth, but we're not balanced, and we need to develop more athletes in a few events. The goal for both teams is to move up in the conference and the alliance."

Industries Environmental Impact Statements (EISs)
Final Environmental Impact Statement on Ruby Pipeline Project (Docket No. CP09-54-000)
Issued: January 8, 2010
The staff of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (Commission or FERC) has prepared a final environmental impact statement (EIS) for the Ruby Pipeline Project.
The project facilities would be located in various counties in Wyoming, Utah, Nevada, and Oregon.
The project would consist of the construction and operation of approximately 675.2 miles of natural gas pipeline; a total of 160,500 horsepower of new compression; and appurtenant facilities such as valves, meter stations, and pig launchers/receivers. Following construction of the proposed facilities, the Ruby Pipeline Project would be able to transport up to 1.5 billion cubic feet of natural gas per day.
The final EIS was prepared to satisfy the requirements of the National Environmental Policy Act and the Federal Land Management and Policy Act.
The U.S. Bureau of Land Management, U.S. Forest Service, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, U.S. Bureau of Reclamation, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, U.S. Natural Resources Conservation Service, State of Utah Public Lands Policy Coordination Office, and the Board of County Commissioners in Lincoln County, Wyoming are participating as cooperating agencies in the preparation of the EIS.
The FERC staff concludes that construction and operation of the Ruby Pipeline Project would result in some adverse environmental impacts. However, most of these would be reduced to less-than-significant levels with the implementation of Ruby's proposed mitigation measures; additional measures and agreements being discussed by Ruby and other agencies related to permitting or conservation agreements; and the additional measures recommended by staff in the EIS. The primary reasons for our decision are:
- More than 44 percent of the project would be collocated with or closely parallel existing rights-of-way.
- The project would be consistent with or in conformance with federal resource management plans, once amended.
- Ruby would obtain all necessary federal, state, and local permits, approvals, and authorizations prior to commencement of construction.
- Ruby would design, construct, test, and operate its pipeline in accordance with U.S. Department of Transportation regulations.
- Ruby would implement resource- or activity-specific plans, procedures, and agreements (both those generated proactively by Ruby and those required specifically by federal, state, or local agencies) to protect natural resources, avoid or limit environmental impacts, and promote restoration of all disturbed areas during construction and operation of the project.
- Ruby would complete necessary surveys for sensitive species and cultural resources; would prepare survey reports summarizing the findings, as necessary; and agencies would be given opportunity to comment and complete any required consultations before Ruby would be authorized to begin construction.
FERC Commissioners will take into consideration staff's recommendations and the final EIS when they make a decision on the project.

Kind of a mouthful, but worth every letter. Located in the twin little cities of Urbana and Champaign, the University of Illinois Urbana Champaign is the flagship school of the University of Illinois system, and is a member of the Big Ten Conference. The campus boasts one of the biggest libraries in the country, and the school offers more than 150 programs of study. They are leading the field in innovative science and medical research, not to mention environmental studies: the groundbreaking Office of Sustainability was founded here only a few years ago. The University of Illinois is crazy about athletics, too, with their team 'The Fighting Illini' (we're talking serious football here, they even have their own homepage).
Urbana is a sizeable town of 41,250 in the eastern middle of the state, surrounded by vast prairie. Around these parts, half of university students live off campus. Thinking of joining them? Get some apartment hunting tips from our apartment guide. If you're lucky, you might land a place in one of the modest apartment complexes just north of the main quad, near East Springfield Avenue. If you go east, that's in Urbana; west is Champaign. There are apartments available all throughout the area, generally affordable. Using our college life link, you can get a sense of how your social and academic routine might affect where you should live.
The free-for-students MTD buses not only take you all around the University of Illinois Urbana Champaign campus, but to locations throughout the surrounding town. For leaving town, you can count on Greyhound buses or even the Suburban Express. You could go for a scenic adventure to Crystal Lake Park, where they regularly put on outdoor public events. There are also numerous golf courses and country clubs in the area. And convenient public transportation gives you access to the town's vibrant nightlife; on any given weekend, you can peruse the various bars and restaurants around Green and Wright streets. Two good resources for staying in the loop with coming events are the Daily Illini newspaper, and the CU Calendar online.

Like many characters from the animated series South Park, many of the voices are done by Trey Parker and Matt Stone. Today, I thought it would be cool to submit a lesson that will show you "how to draw Jimmy", step by step. If you are a fan of this hilarious series, you should already know who Jimmy Vulmer is. I sometimes get him confused with Timmy because they are both "handicapped" in their own way. To help me determine who is who, I just remember that Jimmy has crutches, and Timmy is in a wheel chair. Timmy is also the one that is always reciting his name with a crazy sounding tone as if he was yelling. Jimmy on the other hand doesn't like to be labeled as a handicap because he still believes that he can do anything that anybody else his age can. So because of this, he would rather be called a "handi-capable". Another thing to remember about Jimmy, is the fact that he has a stuttering problem, making him wicked entertaining to listen to when he is talking. There is this one episode where Jimmy is trying to be a comedian on stage, and because of his annoying stutter, it makes it almost impossible to express himself. After watching a few episodes yesterday starring this funny character, I just had to do a tutorial that will teach you guys "how to draw Jimmy", step by step. There is no wrong way to draw Jimmy because he is incredibly easy to replicate. After you are done with this lesson, you can tackle another South Park character from the list. I hope you guys have fun, and make sure you stick around to see what else I have in store for you guys in a few. Peace people, and have fun drawing Jimmy.

VANCOUVER, BC – Vancouver Whitecaps FC announced today the launch of a new Whitecaps FC Kamloops Academy Centre in partnership with Kamloops Youth Soccer Association (KYSA).
"We're very pleased to launch this academy centre in Kamloops and really appreciate the opportunity to partner with KYSA," said Dan Lenarduzzi, Whitecaps FC director of soccer development. "Whitecaps FC recognize the great work that KYSA have done in the community and we are excited to be working together to grow the game in the region and provide further opportunities."
Whitecaps FC Academy Centres are a network of regional training hubs linked through key staff, curriculum, and standards that provide professional supplemental club training for serious, motivated players. Whitecaps FC now have a network of seven academy centre locations, including the new Kamloops Academy Centre, Vancouver Island, Vancouver, the Okanagan, the Kootenays, the Northern Academy Centre, and the Saskatchewan Academy Centre – the first such centre outside of British Columbia.
"As we expand our academy centres, we have the ability to bring together programs from different locations for joint training and competitive opportunities for both players and staff," noted Lenarduzzi. "Our Whitecaps FC Academy Centre programs are positioned to be complementary to our main scouting vehicle, the EA SPORTS BC Soccer Premier League (BCSPL) – the high performance league established with our development partner BC Soccer – which includes the Thompson Okanagan Football Club."
KYSA is the largest youth sports association in Kamloops. There are over 3,600 boys and girls, ages four to eighteen, registered for indoor and outdoor programs this year. For more information on the association visit www.kysa.net
"Our partnership with Whitecaps FC is a great fit for our association," said Keith Liddiard, KYSA executive director. "We are looking forward to working together to bring additional benefits to players and coaches in our association and the community in general."
The Kamloops Academy Centre will be led by John Antulov, and overseen by Whitecaps FC Pre-Residency and Academy Centre head coach Bart Choufour. Antulov will work closely with KYSA to ensure Whitecaps FC and KYSA programs are collaborative and supportive of one another. Born and raised in Kamloops, Antulov – a Canadian Soccer Association 'A' license coach – is currently in his sixth season as co-head coach of the Thompson Rivers University men's soccer program. In his playing days Antulov was a member of Vancouver 86ers in 1990 and 1991, where he was coached by current Whitecaps FC president Bob Lenarduzzi.
"Following my playing career in Vancouver, it has always been a dream of mine to come back and coach with the club," said Antulov. "I'm very excited to take on the role of regional head coach with the Whitecaps FC Kamloops Academy Centre, and to do this in the city I was born and raised makes it even more special.
Whitecaps FC Kamloops Academy Centre programs will launch in April with a 10-week spring Prospects Academy. This will be an abbreviated phase limited to four age groups: U-12/13, U-14/15, and U-16/18 boys, in addition to a U-12/13 girls group. Programming will be integrated for U-9 to U-18 boys and girls in the fall. Players must be evaluated and selected to join the Prospects Academy.
Evaluations will take place on Monday, April 7 with U-12/13 boys from 5 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. and U-14/15 boys from 6:30 p.m. to 8 p.m. and on Friday, April 11, evaluations for U-12/13 girls will run from 5 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. and for U-16/18 boys from 6:30 p.m. to 8 p.m. All evaluations will take place at Exhibition Field. Interested players need to register for the evaluation at whitecapsfc.com/academy – select Kamloops Academy.
Selected players will begin training the following week with the U-12/13 and U-14/15 boys on Monday evenings, and the U-12/13 girls and U-16/18 boys on Friday evenings. All training will be at Valleyview Centennial Park. The Prospects Academy program will include local training, visits from Vancouver staff, as well as an academy trip to watch an MLS match at BC Place and opportunities for select players to train in Vancouver.
In addition to academy programs, Whitecaps FC are planning a summer Prospects Camp. More details will be made available at whitecapsfc.com/camps.
For more information on Whitecaps FC Kamloops Academy Centre programs and evaluation registration please visit whitecapsfc.com/academy and select the Kamloops Academy Centre.

Depression is an illness that makes you feel sad, lose interest in things you used to enjoy, withdraw from others, and have little energy. It's more than normal sadness, grief, or low energy. Most people get better with medicine, counseling, or a combination of the two.
After you have had an episode of depression, you are more likely to have it again.

He gave up a triple to the first batter he faced, and he never looked particularly overpowering, but who gives a flippin' fadoo when B.J. Ryan comes back and nails down the save in a 5-4 extra inning win to seal a series sweep against the Rangers.
It might not mean much, but the looks of excitement on the faces of the Jays as they shook hands after the game was pretty priceless. We saw Roy Halladay crack a smile for the second time in as many days...which is a little creepy, but seems like a good thing.
Also of note: Joe Inglett suddenly turned into Mike Schmidt. How'd that happen?

For those of you that care I haven't done much coding since dropping out at the Univsity so I am really rusty. Are final project was a beverage(beer) rating program which I turned into some type of command interpreter as my final entry.
Recently I have gone totaly linux and refuse to deal with windows.
I was looking into a simple program in C++ that only accepts number inputs, does not buffer any letters not echoed.
Its funny because in Qt you can set up rational expressions but there is no means to do this in standard C++.
So without a gui I thought use conio and getch but it was not included in my linux distro. I just read the faq and there is an alternative lib, but I wonder why conio is not included.
Anyhow bare with me I hope I can crawl back into programming and hope eventualy I can make some useful contribution.
